In other words, Bai Hengbo could transfer his confidants and subordinates to any place he wanted - except inside the main hall.
The guards in the main hall and beside King Yao were in charge of guarding.
Bai Hengbo has been in the Imperial Court for many years and has just been promoted. Previously, this honor belonged to Zheng Da, another Imperial Court official with more experience. However, the latter was recently punished for the poisoning of the fourth prince, which displeased the King Yao. Therefore, the responsibility of guarding the important palace this time fell on Bai Hengbo!
This is the result of Bai Tan and Bai Hengbo's multi-faceted efforts. Thanks to God, every step was successful!
Bai Tan wanted to laugh out loud, but he was afraid of disturbing others, so he had to suppress it.
But he felt strange: "Why did the king return to Shuangxian Palace to work?"
"Not just for work." Bai Hengbo usually didn't dare to come to Bai Tan, so he said everything at once this time, "The king even moved into the Frost Fairy Palace! Lord Qiu said that he missed the old pear tree."
"Nonsense!" Bai Tan said disdainfully, "How could this old fellow be so sad over a tree, especially at this critical moment? He had three or four sons die before, and he didn't seem to be very sad!"
If you treat your own flesh and blood like this, how good can you be to an old, ignorant tree?
Bai Hengbo shook his head: "I don't know. But over the years, apart from the coldness, there has been no other abnormality in Yuquan Palace."
"Forget it, let's not think about it." Bai Tan shook his head, "There are mysteries in the Frost Fairy Palace. We have inquired from many sources, but we have only learned a little bit over the years. You must be careful then."
"Uncle, how is the situation in the city?"
"The refugees are not honest, and it is easier for them to cause trouble when they gather together. Four or five serious conflicts have occurred today, and more than a dozen soldiers have been injured. Before the Emperor Liujiang arrives, I will mobilize more troops to 'keep an eye' on them!"
The two words "看住" are emphasized.
Then Bai Tan said seriously: "Go back to the palace quickly, and don't contact me again before taking action! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Bai family, we must not mess it up!"
Bai Hengbo nodded and left in a hurry.

Early in the morning, Yongquan Villa was debugging the spirit-summoning formation, and He Lingchuan was providing on-site guidance.
Wanqi Feng and others pretended to be serious, and He Lingchuan also pretended to be serious. Both the master and his servants were acting.
But the formation they set up was real and could actually work, and even Zhao Song could not find any fault with it.
The Yangshan Chamber of Commerce’s freight transportation was stopped six days ago and the warehouse was emptied.
Taking advantage of the chaos before Emperor Liujiang arrived, the people of Yangshan Chamber of Commerce had successfully withdrawn from Tianshui City and headed straight for the border. Anyway, now that Tianshui City has nine out of ten stores empty, who would notice their absence?
Just when he had adjusted his position, a bluebird flew in from the sky and landed on a branch next to He Lingchuan.
"There is a letter from the west."
He Lingchuan threw a few elixirs to it and received a text message in return.
The letter was short, but it was written in code. He Lingchuan glanced at it and his pupils shrank slightly.
There were people around, so He Lingchuan just glanced at the letter quickly and put it away, acting as if nothing had happened, but his hands in his sleeves were secretly clenched into fists.
Just as he expected!
This secret letter was sent from Hekou, Zhu County.
Peng Yukui and more than ten other visitors from Lingshan went to kill Bai Ziqi, and He Lingchuan gave them the ambush location, which was the mouth of Zhu County. After Peng Yukui left, He Lingchuan also secretly sent his confidant to Zhu County to stake out the ambush.
The outcome of this battle is extremely important to him.
If Peng Yukui and others could kill Bai Ziqi, He Lingchuan would have eliminated a major threat.
But the content of this secret letter made him feel depressed!
The Soul Mirror also knew the codeword, and curiously translated it: "Bai Ziqi's three ships sailed into the mouth of the Zhu County River. The target just docked and landed. There was a huge crack on the hull of one of the ships."
He Lingchuan just glanced over and learned at least two key points:
Peng Yukui and others did make their move in the river;
Bai Ziqi is still alive.
Peng Yukui and He Lingchuan had discussed the assassination before, and He Lingchuan had repeatedly reminded him, but Peng Yukui was full of confidence, indicating that Lingshan had prepared a killer weapon.
But Bai Ziqi survived and landed safely.
Just as He Lingchuan expected!
He pretended to be serious for a while beside the formation, then waved his hand and said, "Alright, the formation has been passed, let's go have breakfast."
When the big boss spoke, everyone dropped their work and went to get their food, laughing.
He Lingchuan turned around and left, asking someone to bring food to the study.
Just as he closed the door, the soul-catching mirror in his arms started to scream, "What should I do? Bai Ziqi has landed and is heading straight for Tianshui City!"
The master's big plan is in danger.
The master is in danger too.
It said angrily: "Those unreliable mantis crickets from Lingshan are acting like they are powerful here, but they are useless in front of Bai Ziqi!"
"Why is it useless?" He Lingchuan took out the secret letter and looked at it again. "Bai Ziqi had ten ships when he left, but only three were left when he returned. This battle must have been difficult. I wonder how Peng Yukui and the others fared after the battle. Are they still alive?"
"Why bother with them?" How could Mirror have the time to do that? "Let's talk about how we should deal with it first!"
"Our people saw Bai Ziqi walk onto the dock with their own eyes. He did not appear to be injured, but the fleet actually arrived two days late. In this way, the people of Lingshan bought two precious days for me and Qingyang as well."
Mirror didn't understand: "Ah? Qingyang?"
He Lingchuan did not answer, and continued: "But since Bai Ziqi has made it to the shore alive, as long as he returns to Tianshui City, he will most likely deal with me when Qingyang starts an uprising."
Mirror calculated the time for him: "Bai Ziqi will reach Tianshui City in two days, and the Emperor Liujiang will arrive in four or five days at the earliest! The timing is in his favor!"
"No matter what means he uses to defeat Peng Yukui and others, as long as they are not completely consumed in the river, they will probably be used against me." He Lingchuan did not want to fight Bai Ziqi in Tianshui City, which is the home court of the gods! "I still have a chance to disrupt the situation, but I have to race against time!"
The mirror asked, "When do you want to start the action?"
"I think today is sunny and the air is fresh. While it's still early—" He Lingchuan glanced out the window, "Let's do it today!"
"what?!"
"Right now!"
"Huh???" So sudden? It's not mentally prepared yet!
Just then, someone knocked on the door:
"Lord!"
Wanqi Feng came with a food box in his hand.
As soon as he put down the food box, he whispered, "Last night, a palace guard asked the cook of Xiaoxianglou if there were fewer people coming to eat recently. The cook was ignorant and said directly that it was true. His work was much easier. After preparing the food every day, he had some free time to chew a cigarette."
He Lingchuan stroked his chin and said, "What a coincidence? Han Zheng, Zhao Song's subordinate, sneaked into Lao Dong's cave last night and walked around inside before coming out."
What does Zhao Song want his men to find out?
