Ming Jiajing: Starting from Immortality

Chapter 87 King Jing is missing and Jin Yi is suspected!
The battle between the Jinyiwei and the Three Guards of Jingu is about to break out.

Hundreds of Jinyiwei stopped the search and rescue and gathered around Qianhu Wang Min, all drawing their Embroidered Spring Swords. However, facing the thousands of Jingu Three Guards, they felt like the wind was whistling and the Yishui River was cold.

The commanders of the three guards in Jingu really did not want to offend the Jinyiwei, which was at its peak. Even when Wang Min brought news that there might be traitors among the three guards, the commanders of the three armies said that they would conduct a screening afterwards and would never cover up.

However, the Jinyiwei still refused to allow the three guards of Jingu to take over the North Wharf and participate in the search and rescue of King Jing, revealing a strong distrust.

The three military commanders felt that they had exercised sufficient restraint and tolerated the distrust of the Imperial Guards, allowing them to conduct search and rescue operations first.

But after learning that the Jinyiwei had found a mysterious dead man, the confused military commander could no longer help but guess that the dead man was His Royal Highness Prince Jing.

If His Royal Highness Prince Jing was dead, and the Embroidered Uniform Guards were still blocking the North Pier and not letting anyone approach, in the opinion of the commander of the Three Guards, the Embroidered Uniform Guards might be trying to destroy evidence.

In addition, the Jinyiwei refused to reveal the identity of the mysterious dead man and only said that he was an ordinary boatman, which made people even more suspicious.

The commanders of the three armies subconsciously thought that the rebels might be the Jinyiwei, and the Jinyiwei were crying "stop thief"!

A general cannot control everything on the battlefield, but he must be good at seizing every opportunity.

Therefore, no matter how unwilling they were, the commanders of the three guards of Jingu felt at the same time that the Jinyiwei could not be allowed to continue like this.

"Focus on capturing him. If that doesn't work, do what you want!"

The order of the three guards was issued.

Doing things your own way means being killed without mercy in the military.

Nearly 10,000 soldiers from the three guards of Jingu took action, preparing to capture the Jingu Jinyiwei.

And just then.

A rider in a red cloak and brocade robe was galloping on the official road, followed by dozens of other riders. The noise was so loud that passers-by heard it from afar and gave way.

The people from the Northern Pacification Office finally arrived, and it was Jinyiwei Commander-in-Chief Lu Bing who led the team personally.

Lu Bing was sweating profusely while running, but he did not dare to stop for a moment. He whipped the horse under his crotch with the whip, urging the horse to run non-stop until it was almost flying.

Lu Bing received three pieces of news in total.

The first news from the Jingu Qianhu Suo was that the treasure ship of King Jing exploded and his life or death was unknown. Lu Bing ordered the commander-in-chief to temporarily take charge of the affairs of the Northern Pacification Office, and then he came on horseback.

When they were halfway there, they learned that soldiers from the Three Guards of Jingu had appeared among the rebels, and that the Three Guards of Jingu might have rebelled. Lu Bing became even more anxious, and sent someone to send a message back to the capital, asking the emperor to order the three major camps in the capital to be prepared in case of any emergency.

While riding, he sped up again and headed towards Jingu.

Out of trust in the Jinyiwei's intelligence capabilities, Lu Bing did not believe that the Jinyiwei would not get any information at all if the three guards of Jingu rebelled.

It is true that there were traitors among the Three Guards of Jingu, but the possibility of the Three Guards of Jingu rebelling was low.

When approaching the North Pier, Lu Bing received the third piece of news: the assassination of the king was related to the White Lotus Sect!
Lu Bing almost fainted on the horse. These days, he was busy developing his power and cleaning up the rats and vermin in the court, but he forgot that there were still rats hiding in the dark corners among the people.

The Jinyiwei had no idea that this group of rats had caused such a huge explosion. There was no need to think about it. Once the news reached the capital, the civil and military officials who had long been dissatisfied with the Jinyiwei would certainly impeach them.

As for Wang Min's conjecture that the White Lotus Sect and the Three Guards of Jingu were colluding to murder the prince and intend to rebel, Lu Bing felt that it was impossible for the Three Guards of Jingu to rebel, and he felt even more that such collusion was impossible.

Lu Bing rushed here anxiously for one reason only, to prevent a real fight between the Jinyiwei and the three guards of Jingu.

Once the war breaks out, the Jinyiwei and the Three Guards of Jingu will be listed by the court as existences that cannot be fully trusted. By then, the consequences may not be less serious than the assassination of the prince.

Lu Bing rode his horse and appeared directly between the Jingu Jinyiwei and Jingu Sanwei. His bright red cloak fluttered, instantly attracting everyone's attention. "Stop!"

"Everyone stop!"

At the command of the commander-in-chief, without waiting for the captain's order, the Jingu Jinyiwei immediately stopped their fighting posture and stood up straight.

The soldiers of the three guards of Jingu continued to move forward. The only thing they obeyed was the military order!
soon.

The military orders from the commander of the three guards of Jingu were distributed to the three armies, and the march of the army came to an abrupt halt.

The Jingu Jinyiwei might rebel, but the emperor's brother, the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei, would never rebel.

The crisis of the war was resolved, and Lu Bing breathed a sigh of relief. He said, "Please ask the commander of the three guards to lead the troops back to the camp and wait for the East Factory to come and identify them."

no matter what.

There was a traitor among the Three Guards of Jingu, who confronted the Jinyiwei and almost attacked and killed the Jinyiwei. Although it was not to the point where they were completely distrusted, an external force was needed to identify the commanders of the Three Guards and help purge the army.

This matter should have been done by the Jinyiwei, but the Jinyiwei is also a participant and a suspect, so it can only be someone from the Dongchang.

I believe that Chen Hong, the chief eunuch of the Imperial Household Department and the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Depot, will be here soon.

The commander-in-chief of the three armies knew the particularity and sensitivity of the three guards in Jingu. After hearing Lu Bing's arrangement, he hesitated for a long time and chose to return to the camp to fight.

The three guards of Jingu left the field.

Lu Bing ignored the guards and servants, and instead gave orders to the Jinyi of Jingu Qianhu Suo, "Everyone, lay down your weapons!"

Hundreds of Jingu Jinyiwei threw the Embroidered Spring Swords in their hands to the ground, and the sound of metal colliding with bluestone was particularly harsh.

Lu Bing signaled the Jinyiwei brought from the capital to pick up the Embroidered Spring Sword on the ground and disarmed the Jingu Jinyiwei, and then let these Jinyiwei continue the search and rescue.

A large number of living people and corpses were salvaged from the canal, and Lu Bing personally identified them. Even if they were blown into a bloody mess, Lu Bing had a way to identify their identities.

But until the end of the search and rescue, Prince Jing was still nowhere to be found. Even in the two halves of the treasure ship, Lu Bing sent people to dive into them to search and rescue, but the bodies dragged out were not those of Prince Jing.

There are only two possibilities. One is that Prince Jing was at the center of the explosion and was blown to pieces.

Another possibility is that Prince Jing is missing!

But Prince Jing is a big fat man, and it is not so easy to blow him into pieces, so that even large pieces of flesh and blood cannot be found.

But if he disappeared, Lu Bing looked at the canal that was six or seven feet wide and wondered where he could have disappeared to.

It was getting late and Lu Bing felt heavy-hearted. He ordered some of the Ti cavalry to continue searching in the water, and ordered the rest of the Ti cavalry to search along the bank of the canal.

"Commander-in-Chief Lu, the Emperor has ordered you to return to the capital immediately without delay!"

Chen Hong has arrived.

Following behind him were the head of the Eastern Depot and the guards.

Lu Bing turned around and saw Chen Hong, who was smiling but not really smiling, and several Dongchang bosses with unfriendly faces.

The Imperial Guards are suspected by the Emperor!
