Chapter 1662: He is

Let go of everything and move forward bravely!

Unknowingly, the army under Bai Tan had been replaced. So he ordered the remaining troops to continue suppressing the refugee riot, while he led the newly formed team to "reinforce" the palace! As long as they rushed into the palace gate, everything would be settled! ……

During the Yao King's rest, Bai Hengbo, like other officials, took the opportunity to go to the bathroom.

When the monarch held a meeting, no one dared to slip away halfway; the three urgencies had to be held back. Like You Rongzhi, who had been accompanying the Yao King to discuss affairs for a long time, he always had to ask a physician to prescribe medicine to nourish the bladder.

After coming out, he turned his steps and went to the cypress branches in the woods to grab a handful of snow to wipe his hands.

The new snow was very clean.

Even in winter, the needles of these few large cypress trees were still very dense, and two or three trees could block the view completely.

Bai Hengbo was wiping his hands when a voice sounded from behind the tree: "Any new situation?"

He was not startled, because the person behind the tree was Yuan Xuan, the guard of Regent Qingyang.

In this kind of place, he naturally didn't dare to talk to Qingyang face to face.

"Zhao Song returned to the palace and just entered the back hall of the Frost Immortal."

The Yao King had already gone to the back hall to rest, and Zhao Song was going for an audience.

Yuan Xuan immediately asked: "How many people did he bring back, and where is He Xiao?"

"Three hundred, but I didn't see He Xiao."

Yuan Xuan knew that it was difficult to handle. Regent Qingyang and the Beijia special envoy were attacked and entered the palace to complain, and the Yao King had to summon all the persons in charge of the Tianshui Eastward Expansion project into the palace; now only He Xiao was missing.

Where did this person go, and why did Zhao Song go to see the Yao King alone? "Where are Zhao Song's three hundred people now?"

"They are in the back hall of the Frost Immortal."

Yuan Xuan knew that this was a bit difficult. The refugee riot impacted the north of the city tonight, and the incident happened suddenly; a large number of palace guards were allocated out of the palace to suppress the riot.

The defensive power in the palace was actually limited, and Qingyang and Bai Tan's uncle and nephew had calculated it well.

He Xiao's usual travel lineup was very large, but he usually only had two or three palace guards accompanying him when entering the palace—this royal palace was decided by the Yao King, and only the Yao King could pretend to be 13.

However, Zhao Song suddenly returned and brought all three hundred people into the palace; this move was unusual!

These three hundred elite palace guards increased the defensive power around the Yao King, which might affect the subsequent actions of Qingyang and Bai Hengbo.

Yuan Xuan asked immediately: "Can these three hundred people be dispersed?"

"No." The Yao King was suspicious; at such a time, he would not send away the most trusted guard force, "They are organized in the back hall as imperial guards, belonging to the Physician Order."

He was in charge of safety in the palace, and the Physician Order was responsible for the Yao King's personal safety.

He didn't dare to stay long and turned to walk toward the Frost Immortal Hall.

Fortunately, he was alert, because he hadn't walked out a few steps when a small palace servant rushed toward him, saying hurriedly:

"Official Bai, His Majesty summons you to go quickly!"

The Yao King wanted to see him? Bai Hengbo's heart skipped a beat, but his face showed no strange expression: "Coming."

He waved his hand, and a dozen palace guards clustered him in the middle, heading straight for the back hall of the Frost Immortal.

The back hall of the Frost Immortal at this time was no different from usual; imperial guards were stationed at every corner of the square courtyard outside the hall, and for the long corridor leading to the back hall, there were two palace servants standing every thirty steps.

Outside the hall door, there were four palace servants and eight imperial guards with knives standing guard, divided into front and back rows.

As soon as Bai Hengbo arrived, a palace servant entered to report.

So the small door opened, and Bai Hengbo knelt outside the threshold, seeing the Yao King sitting in the hall, his face looking bad, and Zhao Song also kneeling in front of him.

This was the distinction between inside and outside.

"Zhao Song!" The Yao King named him, his voice full of anger, "Tell him what mistake you made!"

"Yes." Zhao Song turned half-sideways to look at Bai Hengbo, "He Xiao was summoned by His Majesty, and I accompanied him into the palace. When we walked to the Indou Pavilion, he said he was urgent and went to the nearby latrine. As a result, he—"

Zhao Song paused: "He never came out. I went in to look for him, but there was no one inside."

"He lost He Xiao!" The Yao King said angrily, "This person must still be in the palace, Bai Hengbo, you all find him for me!"

Bai Hengbo could only answer "Yes."

He was the Court Marshal's Supervisor and was originally responsible for the safety inside the palace. Searching for He Xiao was of course his duty, and he couldn't shirk it.

Such an accident suddenly broke out, and Bai Hengbo was of course unwilling, but he still had to wait for his uncle's signal.

If the signal didn't come, he couldn't rebel.

So the best way for him now was to temporarily remain motionless and not let the Yao King become suspicious.

When he and Zhao Song walked out of the hall, he asked:

"Does Brother Zhao know why He Xiao wanted to escape?"

Zhao Song said sternly: "When the explosion near the Quiet Lake sounded, He Xiao and I both heard it; at that time, he sighed, saying that he was in big trouble and this matter could not be ended well. Later, His Majesty really sent someone to summon him into the palace; He Xiao was depressed and taciturn all the way."

He made a summary: "I think he had other intentions long ago."

Bai Hengbo wondered: "If he wanted to escape, he should have escaped on the road; why wait until entering the palace?"

The high walls and deep palace forbade escape techniques; whoever entered here, the difficulty of escaping would double. He Xiao was a smart person, how could he want to escape in the palace?

Zhao Song said seriously: "Who said he wanted to escape?"

Bai Hengbo was startled: "What does he want to do?"

Zhao Song lowered his voice: "His Majesty has confirmed that he is the Great Emperor of Nine Nether!"

Bai Hengbo lost his voice: "Nine……"

Great Emperor of Nine Nether? He Xiao? An island merchant from afar who was favored by the monarch, and had hosted several major projects in Tianshui City, but now the Yao King determined he was the Great Emperor of Nine Nether?

What was the logic in this?

Bai Hengbo, even if he was full of worries, was shocked at this moment.

"Shh—" Zhao Song raised his finger to block his lips, "He Xiao has entered and exited the palace countless times and is quite familiar with this place. His Majesty has confirmed that he is the Great Emperor of Nine Nether; perhaps he himself has realized it. His jumping away halfway is harboring evil intentions, wanting to be unfavorable to His Majesty or the Regent, especially the Regent!"

Bai Hengbo was surprised: "He wants to harm the Regent?"

"Who in Tianshui City doesn't know that the Regent sees him as a thorn in her side? With such a thing happening tonight, he knows he can't finish eating and walking around, so maybe he just strikes first?" Zhao Song said seriously, "Maybe he has a way to leave the palace; once he succeeds and flees a thousand miles away, he will throw this black pot to His Majesty to carry, and leave Beijia's anger to the Yao nation!"

He Xiao didn't enter the palace at all; these were all nonsense that the Yao King told Zhao Song.

But if the title of Great Emperor of Nine Nether wasn't inserted into He Xiao, the reason for "He Xiao disappearing after entering the palace" wouldn't be sufficient, and it wouldn't be able to convince Bai Hengbo.

Sure enough, Bai Hengbo was shocked by the title of Great Emperor of Nine Nether and didn't make a sound for a long time.

As the Court Marshal's Supervisor, he indeed had the responsibility to find him. ===== CHAPTER 1663 =====
