Bao Zheng disappeared.

Gongsun Ce's palms felt cold, he couldn't imagine Bao Zheng's current situation.With the protection of the emperor and the eight sage kings, Bao Zheng could have an accident, so what's next?

Bai Yutang, who was sitting across from him, glanced at Gongsun Ce, and seeing that Gongsun Ce was silent, he turned to look at Hua Manlou, "Bao Zheng is missing, you—"

"Brother Gongsun, what should we do?" Zhan Zhao has never been so flustered since the last time Gongsun Ce fell into a coma after being poisoned. This time Bao Zheng's disappearance made Zhan Zhao feel strange, and his intuition told him that it was more troublesome than last time.

"Where are Dynasty Ma Han, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu?"

"The whereabouts of Big Brother Bao are being tracked down."

"Zhan Zhao, you and Yutang rush back to Dingyuan County immediately, and help Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and the others find Bao Zheng's whereabouts, and come back after three days if they can't find it. I... now go to the palace to meet the emperor."

Zhan Zhao was taken aback, now it's Zishi, and going to the palace to face the saint, I'm afraid it's—

Bai Yutang said, "Brother Gongsun, let's go then, you should be careful."

"kindness."

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang next to him, even though he was very reluctant, but now Gongsun Ce ordered him to go, so he could only say, "Well, Brother Gongsun, don't worry, leave Dingyuan County to me, you are in the capital Be careful, be careful of Grand Master Pang, I'm leaving!"

Sending the two away, Gongsun Ce heaved a sigh of relief. He was able to hold on just now, but now he completely collapsed, "Hua Man Lou, I..."

"Enter the palace, for Bao Zheng, the emperor will also meet you."

"I'll be back soon."

Hua Manlou nodded when he heard the words, and squeezed his palm, "Gongsun Ce, nothing will happen. Bao Zhengji has his own destiny, so nothing will happen."

Gongsun Ce knew the meaning of Huamanlou's words. They narrowly escaped death several times and turned danger into safety. Bao Zheng survived so many times. It is impossible to capsize here. There must be something hidden from them. knew.

On the way into the palace, at the gate of the palace, Gongsun Ce did not expect to encounter two sedan chairs.

"My subordinate, Gongsun Ce, has met the Eight Sage Kings, Grand Master."

"It seems that we all need to see the emperor, so why don't we go in together, Grand Master, do you think you are right or not?" The eight sage kings came out of the sedan chair, their eyes were deep and unclear, and it took a long time for someone to come out.

"What the Eight Sage Kings said is that this old man has exactly the same intention."

"Then go in together."

"Please."

Gongsun Ce followed behind the two of them, listening to what they said, and understood them roughly.This time, the army of the Liao Kingdom came in a menacing manner, regardless of the covenant made before, they sent troops from Youzhou and forced the Song army to Hejian Mansion, and the two returned to Beijing in a hurry.Gongsun Ce thought to himself, who is guarding Hejian Mansion?

The Eighth Sage King came outside the Yanhe Hall, and the eunuchs around Zhao Zhen went in to communicate, and the people came back after a while and let them in.

"The grand master has worked hard and made great achievements, so I invite you first."

"The Eight Sage Kings are the pillars of the country, of course you are the first to invite them."

Gongsun Ce, who came back to his senses, couldn't help shaking his head when he heard what the two of them said. He still failed in many places in the affairs of the court.

Seeing Zhao Zhen again, Gongsun Ce felt much calmer. Thinking about Bao Zheng, he didn't know when to speak.In front of him were the Eight Sage Kings and Grand Master Pang, so it was his turn to speak first.

"Uncle Wang and Grand Master rushed into the palace, why?"

"Your Majesty, what should we do with the matter of the Hejian Mansion? Once the Liao soldiers commit crimes again and again, we will retreat. What will be lost is not only a city, but also the hearts of the soldiers. How can we let the Liao Kingdom force us to fight against the great Song Dynasty?" To abandon the city and escape." The Baxian King looked at Zhao Zhen, "I ask the emperor to make up his mind earlier, it is best to face the enemy head-on and beat the Liao soldiers back to Youzhou."

"What does Uncle Wang mean?"

"The imperial court sent troops to Hejian Mansion to reinforce the local garrison, and reciprocated."

Grand Master Pang remained silent, with his hands in his sleeves, looking calm and composed.

Zhao Zhen was silent when he heard the words, but instead looked at Gongsun Ce and said, "Gongsun Ce, when did you enter the palace?"

"Your Majesty, I have received news that Bao Zheng has disappeared from the Dingyuan county government office, and his whereabouts are unknown now."

"What! Bao Zheng is missing!"

"Zhan Zhao sent a letter and is searching for Bao Zheng's whereabouts."

When Gongsun Ce raised his eyes to look at Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen's expression surprised Gongsun Ce, and he dared to look at Zhao Zhen after he suppressed the surprise in his eyes——Zhao Zhen didn't know who would be the one who killed Bao Zheng's disappearance. hand?Not to protect Bao Zheng, but to want Bao Zheng's life.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Bao Zheng's current situation was very dangerous. Gongsun Ce's back was sweating, and his body became stiff.

Grand Master Pang suddenly spoke, breaking the silence in the hall, "Your Majesty, according to what the old minister said, and according to the wishes of the Eight Sage Kings, send troops to reinforce the Hejian Mansion and beat the Liao people back, but the commander of the Hejian Mansion's garrison is my stubborn Nizi, I haven't returned to Beijing for several years, and even made a flying star general, I am really ashamed of the court."

Gongsun Ce remembered that the garrison of Hejian Mansion was...Pang Taishi's only son, Pang Tong.

"What does the grand master mean?"

"That rebellious son is unruly and disobedient to discipline. The veteran is afraid that he will monopolize the power in the army. Regardless of the opinions of the other lieutenants, he thinks that he must send someone to supervise the army. The veteran wanted Bao Zheng to go. Bao Zheng is a talent. He must be able to send that Nizi pulled back the right path, instead of ignoring the court in the Hejian Mansion."

"The grand master's words are serious. Although Pang Tong has an unruly temper, he has made great contributions to the court and made great military achievements."

"The emperor is merciful."

Supervisor?Bao Zheng?Gongsun Ce thought about the meaning of these words.Grand Master Pang's target is Bao Zheng...or him?

When he didn't know Taishi Pang's real intentions, Zhao Zhen said, "Gongsun Ce, you are now the censor Zhongcheng, and now I send you to Hejian Mansion with [-] soldiers and horses. middle."

Gongsun Ce looked up at Zhao Zhen when he heard the words, opened his mouth and swallowed the words, "Minister, take the order."

"For Bao Zheng, there will be six gates in charge."

"Yes."

Supervisor?To put it nicely, it's just to make an eyeliner. Taishi Pang himself asked for the eyeliner to be placed next to Pang Tong. The purpose is naturally to prevent the conflict between Pang Tong and Zhao Zhen from intensifying. Otherwise, even if Pang Tong is a god-man who can win Youzhou alone , Zhao Zhen couldn't tolerate him either.

Grand Master Pang got on his sedan chair and left. Gongsun Ce was about to say goodbye to the Eight Wise Kings, but the Eight Wise Kings spoke first.

"Gongsun Ce, I said that you are smarter than Bao Zheng and more suitable for living in the imperial court, so I saw you right."

"My lord..."

"Leave Bao Zheng's matter to me, don't you feel relieved?"

"The subordinate dare not."

"Gongsun Ce, Gongsun Ce, don't cause disasters because of a momentary mood. Use your brain at critical moments. Maybe there will be a better way than impulsiveness to solve the dilemma instead of blindly pursuing the truth. This will make you I don’t even have my life, my life is gone, so how can I talk about the truth.”

Gongsun Ce lowered his head slightly, and saluted the Eight Sage Kings, "Gongsun Ce will remember the words of the prince in his heart."

"It's getting late, get ready and follow the army to Hejian Mansion."

"Yes."

The Eighth Wise King got into the sedan chair, and when he lowered the curtain, he glanced at Gongsun Ce who was standing aside, "Your friend is a character, if he goes with you, Pang Tong should be a bit cautious even if he is superhuman."

Hearing that Gongsun Ce raised his head, he saw that the sedan chair of the Eight Sage Kings had already left, he shook his head and walked towards the inn.

When the Eighth Sage King mentioned Huamanlou, he didn't remember it by accident.

I don't know much about Pang Tonggong and Sun Ce. I heard others talk about him. He was brave and good at fighting. A flying cloud rider made Zhao Zhen feel like a stick in his throat.If it weren't for Pang Tong's meritorious service and the presence of Pang Grand Master, Pang Tong's actions would be enough to die a hundred times.

Unknowingly, he walked outside the door, raised his eyes and saw that the light was still on, Gongsun Ce unconsciously raised the corner of his mouth, stretched out his hand and pushed the door open and walked in.

"came back."

"how?"

"In two days, I will go to the garrison camp of Hejian Mansion with the army."

Hua Manlou put down the things in his hands, got up and walked towards the bed, "In this case, let's go to bed early, and send someone to send a letter to the Dingyuan County Government tomorrow, Zhan Zhao and the others also know our whereabouts."

"Tomorrow morning... I will enter the palace in the morning."

"Master Gongsun, it's not early, and there are only two left in the early morning hours. If you don't sleep, how will you deal with those people?"

"Master Gongsun... sounds like he's calling me dad."

If you want to make a joke, it means that you are not in a bad mood.Still leaving a candle, Gongsun Ce and Hua Manlou lay on the bed, Gongsun Ce slightly raised his head to look at Hua Manlou who had closed his eyes, and said in a strange way: "Just now Zhan Zhao and the others came suddenly... you, you All right?"

Hua Manlou caught Gongsun Ce's restless hand in the hand of the servant, "Don't mess around."

"I just, I don't mean anything else, you think too much."

"It's a long time, don't be in a hurry." Hua Manlou's answer made Gongsun Ce turn his back in embarrassment.

If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't ask.

Just now, he was just looking at Huamanlou's face, his peaceful expression was connected with the aggressive and aggressive person before. At that time, Huamanlou made Gongsun Ce feel strange but not uneasy.As soon as I asked the words, I felt that the taste had changed. It was impossible to take it back, so I could only bite the bullet and continue, but I was teased by Hua Manlou instead.

But it should have occurred to him earlier that with Lu Xiaofeng, Hua Manlou would not be a person who has never tasted lust for more than [-] years.

Hua Manlou turned over, Gongsun Ce's back was pressed against him, the tip of Gongsun Ce's nose was itchy with a few strands of saponin-scented hair, and he stretched out his hand to push it away, "People who practice martial arts rarely have greed. "

"You mean that I, a scholar, have a... impure heart?"

"Where are you thinking again? You always have the temper of a child, how can I let you go."

Hearing this, Gongsun Ce wanted to argue with Hua Manlou, but before he could speak, he suddenly realized something. Regardless of the embarrassment just now, he turned and stared at Hua Manlou, "Let it go? Where are you going? You, don't tell me— —”

"No."

"Then what did you mean by what you just said?"

"Go to sleep."

After getting along for so long, Gongsun Ce knows that Hua Manlou is like this, but he doesn't intend to talk about it. What he doesn't want to say, even if he holds it around his neck, he may not be able to ask. He can only swallow his questions and bury his head in the pillow. .
