There is still fierce battle in the palace.

Dongming fought against the flying machinery of the attacking emperor, queen, prince and others.

Liu E secretly used his skills to protect the emperor and the prince from dodging left and right, cleverly avoiding the flying beasts attacked.

While fighting with the mechanical beast, Dongming noticed this and observed Liu E from time to time with his own light.

At this time, the brigade of imperial guards arrived at the surroundings of the emperor, queen and prince in time, squatted on the spot, raised a large shield, and the other row put the large shield on the squatting person, and a layer of shield tilted to protect the head of the shield.

The guards set up a formation with large shields and built a space surrounded on all sides in the form of stacked arhats. They not only protected the emperor's family, but also approached step by step, fighting with flying mechanical beasts while blocking them with large shields.

Although the flying mechanical beasts are clever, they immediately show their weakness compared to this straightforward force crushing, that is, they are too fragile.

Soon, puppets crashed into the big shield, and the situation on the field was controlled.

In a short while, all the puppets were shot down and destroyed, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as the battle ended, everyone stopped and the palace was in chaos.

Tai Sui raised her sleeves to wipe away the blood and sweat from her face, and sat down to the ground weakly.

These puppets are really too difficult to deal with. Relatively speaking, Tai Sui would rather fight with a group of big men with real swords and guns. And what he was most worried about was that Yao Guang was poisoned when he was reckless, so he kept surrounding her to protect him.

In this way, it not only consumes more physical energy, but also consumes more mind.

Yaoguang walked over and stood with Tai Sui, looked at him, raised his hand and gently pinched it on his hand, revealing a rare tenderness.

Tai Sui was stunned and smiled at Yaoguang.

Everyone looked back at the formation eyes. The Imperial Guard withdrew the big shield. As soon as Zhao Heng showed up, De Miao hurriedly ran forward and knelt down to apologize.

"The virtue and beauty are inadvertent, which leads to the invasion of the evil people and endangers the emperor. Please punish the officials!"

Zhao Heng threw his robe and walked out, furious: "Hmph! I treat you well, but you have ulterior motives and want to kill my life!"

Zhao Heng was frightened, and De Miao trembled all over and quickly slumped to the ground and apologized: "Di Miao's loyalty to Your Majesty can be seen! This time the danger is not what De Miao expected."

Tai Sui sneered: "Aren't you a living god? After calculating, why is the divine calculator who knows five hundred years ago and then five hundred years ago? This time, why is it not working?"

De Miao was suffocated and he hurriedly quibbled: "Your Majesty! I really didn't expect that there would be evil people to get involved in the disciples. I didn't make any calculations in advance, so I naturally couldn't know."

Zhao Heng hesitated a little.

"Your Majesty, De Miao has taught the Dharma with the officials many times. If there is any intention of harming them, there are countless opportunities in the past. Why take this great risk? Look at the officials..."

De Miao took the opportunity to make a statement again and pointed at the wound on his shoulder: "De Miao almost died. Please let the official take a clear look!"

Zhao Heng hesitated a little, and saw that De Miao was also injured. His anger was slightly relieved, and he was half-believing and half-doubted: "What is the inside story? I will not let you decide in one word! I will hand this matter to the company for detailed investigation. You can get up first!"

"Thank you, the official family." De Miao breathed a sigh of relief, and with the help of his disciple, he slowly stood up with his injured arm.

At this moment, Kaiyang's voice suddenly rang: "De Miao is indeed an assassin's accomplice!"

"What?" Whether it is true or false, all the guards became nervous and surrounded De Miao. Dongming even blocked Zhao Heng's support.

After everyone had set their posture, everyone looked at Kaiyang.

Not far away, Kaiyang gently put Meng Dong in his arms, with tears marks on his face, and anger. He stood up a few steps forward and saluted Zhao Heng: "I heard from the emperor that the assassin Meng Dong had revealed the truth before he died. He said that he was the grandson of the sinner Yanzheng, and he confessed that De Miao and his grandfather Yanzheng were both subordinates called Dou Mu Tianzun. He was able to get into the palace because it was De Miao's assistance."

De Miao was shocked and immediately reacted and explained in a hurry: "You...you are talking nonsense! Judging from your appearance, you are obviously familiar with the assassin. In order to clarify yourself, you have to frame me? I have been guided by the heavens and the gods, devoted myself to practicing Taoism, be kind, and cultivate a righteous spirit. How could I do the Abi-bi thing? In other words, if I really have the heart to seek profit, and now I serve the saints and have great grace, why should I take advantage of the world and join the assassin to your Majesty? If I change to someone else's disciple, what are the benefits?"

De Miao knelt down again and said with confidence: "The official is clear about it, I am wronged!"

When Zhao Heng heard this, he immediately hesitated again.

From the perspective of his heart, he did not believe that De Miao was an assassin's accomplice. The reason was very simple. Just as De Miao himself said, what reason did she have to commit to someone else's disciple?

No matter how much others give her, can she compare to herself?

In fact, it is not so much that Zhao Heng believes in virtue, but rather that he believes in the imperial power and the majesty of the emperor.

On the other hand, this is actually a human instinct, and he is unwilling to believe that others will betray him.

This is the same whether it is an ordinary person or a noble emperor.

Of course, the emperor is very suspicious. Perhaps after a while, Zhao Heng may recall what happened today.

But that was the future. At least in front of her, Demiao won a glimmer of hope for her. She also made a decision in her heart that as long as she passed this level today, she would turn around and leave the imperial city of Kyoto.

Although the capital is rich and noble, it can be with you as if you are with a tiger.

After this incident, De Miao also figured it out. Even if he didn't make any mistakes today and killed the emperor by obeying his orders, what would be the good ending for him?

The world is so big, where can’t we go?

That's right, Doumu Tianzun is mysterious and powerful, but she believes that as long as she hides her identity and goes away, it is unlikely that she will go away to find herself based on Doumu Tianzun's ambition.

"You..." Zhao Heng hesitated for a while, looking at Liu E who looked tired beside him, and he thought he was not in a hurry. It was not too late to find out later, so he wanted to speak.

But at this moment, a sonorous voice came outside the hall.

"All nonsense!"

The four words broke through the air and resounded throughout the hall. Everyone looked out of the hall when they heard the sound.

Bao Zheng and Zhan Zhao arrived in a hurry. The two were in a hurry. Zhan Zhao was carrying a bag on his body, and it was obvious that he was rushing back from afar.

When Tai Sui saw the two of them, she smiled and couldn't help but blurted out: "Bao Heizi!"

Yaoguang was surprised: "Why did he come?"

Bao Zheng entered the hall, shook his clothes and knelt down to perform a great ceremony: "Bao Zheng, the judge of Dali Temple, please see the emperor."

Zhao Heng said calmly: "Get up."

Bao Zheng stood up and respectfully and seriously: "I have important matters to report!"

"Tell me!" Zhao Heng saw that he looked serious and calmed down, wanting to hear what he was going to say.

Bao Zheng looked at Zhan Zhao on the side, Zhan Zhao nodded, took off the baggage on his back, held it with both hands, Bao Zheng stepped forward and opened it, presenting a thick stack of case records.

"What I want to report is the murder case of Censor Zheng."

Tai Sui was surprised after hearing this. Zhao Heng was also quite surprised after hearing this: "Why is the reason for the old case?"

Bao Zheng said in a stern voice: "Your Majesty, the case of Zheng Jingshi, a lot of evidence points directly to virtue. When the three departments tried together, Xue Liang suddenly took all the charges and then died strangely. I think there is something strange about it, so I went to Tai'an for a secret investigation."
