Chapter 181 - The An Hui Tribal
Ni Sheng can't react after watching them fall down to the valley. He is trying to reach their hand to catch them but failed to catch them. He only can see them fall down to the bottomless pits from the cliff.
The group of the black man is killing themselves with the sword when Ni Sheng wants to interrogate them. He is trying to open their mask and body to find any clues to see a large flower tattoo on their shoulder.
All of them have a tattoo that symbolizes the AnHui tribal. The history mentions their tribal already annihilate on the reign of the previous emperor. This is quite shocking to see their symbol erected as the brain to kidnap the empress.
"How are we going to break this news to the emperor?" Xi Kai is asking Ni Sheng. They are well aware of the husband doting emperor toward their empress. They are practically handing him the dagger to kill himself if he knows about the death of the empress.
It was like last time when she was run away from the palace. The emperor is falling sick, and it was really horrendous and chaotic in the court.
He has to talk with Zhao Yu regarding this matter and proceed with caution while this matter.
"Xi Kai and Wang Bo, can you find a way to go down to the valley underneath? If they are dead then we are needed to find their body. I will sneak into the palace and find out from Zhao Yu about our next step," Ni Sheng is making lightning decision regarding the plan.
"Yes, Minister Ni. We will bring the eagle troop to clean up and screen up the area for the bodies," XI Kai and Wang Bo are clasping their hand to bow and do their job.
Ni Sheng is hopping to his horse and rushes back to the tea house. He is making Mr Zhou find information about An Hui tribal. This is their main priority for the moment. The An Hui tribal can arise from death and can create havoc again.
Ni Sheng is sneaking inside the Prime minister office and drag Zhao Yu to the corner of the dark area where no one can spot them to talk.
"Why are you need to do like this? Are you in danger or making some mistake?" Zhao Yu is ready with his imperial robe to welcome the Yin royal family.
"This is a serious matter and I hope you can stop and listen to me. This matter can't leak to anyone, not even the prime minister. Promise me!" Ni Sheng is trying to catch his breath while talking to Zhao Yu who is changing his facial expression.
"Tell me quickly! I am promising to my dead parent in heaven to uphold this secret," Zhao Yu is taking up his palm to swear in front of Ni Sheng.
"The An Hui tribal has arisen and they are behind the kidnapping of the empress. We have to carry our path really carefully. We can't trust anyone from this stage forward until I find more concrete evidence about their movement. The other problem, they forced the empress and Lin Yue to fall into the bottomless cliff. How we proceed to report to the emperor?" Ni Sheng is whispering in his ear.
"What did you say? This is a big matter for our country. You literally hand in a silver dagger to the emperor to kill himself. No wonder, the emperor is sealing the news for his wife kidnapping. I bet the emperor did not know yet about this news," Zhao Yu is looking serious toward this upright minister in front of him.
"Not yet. The eagle troops are screening the area for their bodies, and I am rushing to find you to solve this matter. The last time, my sister run away from his side, and it makes him fall into serious illness. I try to wreck my brain for this matter," Ni Sheng is informing the wise young man in front of him.
"Hide this fact and we need to finish this funeral. At least, it can occupy his time to think about his duty as emperor. We need to stall time and bring him more work to occupy his mind," Zhao Yu is trying to think about the solution without talking about the death of the empress.
"How about we are reporting about the risen of An Hui tribal and get a clearer picture from him from his father reign? We are sealing about the missing empress and general Lin Yue. This time we can not let him know about the reality of his wife and unborn baby death as long as nobody recovers from the scene. You are going to guard this palace and we are going to communicate secretly," Ni Sheng is giving out a little hint for this situation.
"We can do like this. I will not mention anything as I do not know about the kidnapping. You need to send a letter to the emperor regarding the An Hui tribal. He will summon me to his study, and I will listen to the matter regarding the tribal. Go and do not show yourself until the empress find!" Zhao Yu is telling his friend. Ni Sheng is running out swiftly before he disappears from the palace.
He is making a stop from the tea house to send a secret letter to the emperor about the risen An Hui tribal. This is the first step, and the second step is getting money from his siter vault in the tea house and joining the eagle troop to find the empress.
Ni Sheng is sending a secret letter to his wife and asks her to burn the letter after she read it. He will be away for investigating some dangerous problem and no one can know about his whereabout.. He is hopping into his horse and following the crumb of the eagle troops to find his best friend and his sister.
