can know Lan Ling's whereabouts, and also know that she is safe, Xuan Mo at this time is finally relieved.

Early the next morning, Lan Ling was still sleeping quietly, but there was no quiet scene near Hongxiu's thatched hut.

A group of iron-masked knights, riding tall horses, the knights came to the outside of the thatched hut, Hongxiu heard the sound, and drove out of the house, Yingxue followed closely behind, and also stood at the door and looked out.

"King Xin, there are indeed a lot of Liao army spies in the city, our team has secretly grasped their movements, there may be changes in the palace, I have arranged everything properly, we can do it at any time!" A leading knight dismounted and reported to Hong Xiu.

"Okay! I'm not in the palace, they really slack off a lot, Yan Chang, you've worked hard these days!"

"The subordinates have followed King Xin for many years, and I hope that the head of the horse is Zhan, and I don't feel hard, this is what my subordinates should do!" Yan Chang is a general of Zhao State, brave and good at fighting, and has followed King Xin for many years, he only recognizes King Xin as the master, and does not recognize the monarch of Zhao State.

It turned out that this Hongxiu was the king of Zhao State, the half-brother of the monarch of Zhao State, who could fight well, and played a pivotal role in Zhao State, commanding soldiers and horses, and mastering the power of the whole country.

In recent years, the Liao army has repeatedly violated the border of Zhao, and has deliberately provoked many times, but Zhao has endured it and waited for the time to be ripe.

Zhao Guojun was suspicious by nature, hesitant and resourceful, so only King Xin secretly planned, personally investigated, and often lived at the foot of the border mountain, while hiding people's eyes and pretending to be idle and ignoring political affairs, while going out on patrol and secretly investigating the situation of the Liao army.

Yingxue is the youngest princess of Zhao Kingdom, and she is the same as Hongxiu, and the noble concubine of the previous dynasty died of illness, so Yingxue has stayed by Hongxiu's side since she was a child, and her dependence on her brother is far greater than others.

"Let's go now and go back to the palace!" Wang Hongxiu ordered. Dozens of iron horsemen turned around at the same time, Hong Xiu turned around and got on the horse, and with a pull of his hand, Yingxue also rode on the horse together, sitting in front of his brother. The group hurried out of the thatched hut.

After a puff of dust and smoke, the thatched hut returned to its former calm.

"Brother, do you think Sister Lan Ling will look for us again in the hut! If she can't see us, will she be anxious, will she miss me!" Ying Xue turned her head and asked her brother Hongxiu.

"It's too late to say goodbye when time is pressing, let's see you again in the future!" Hongxiu said. Hold the reins tightly with both hands. "Driving ......"

Yingxue was very reluctant, and repeatedly turned her head to look in the direction of the thatched house. I had no choice but to ride the horse and run farther and farther......

In the palace, it seems to be calm, but in fact it is full of dangers, the Liao army has been secretly lurking in the palace for many years, and this time they want to take Zhao in one fell swoop, and the ambition is so great that it has been revealed.

"But it's all arranged?" A woman in purple had a coquettish face, but her words were very harsh.

"Back to Ye Cairen. All the guards in the city have been replaced by our men, and the soldiers outside the city have all been in place, only when the time comes, someone will give the order, and it will be foolproof!" a father-in-law man returned.

Between the words, it can be heard that these two people are secret agents who have been lurking in the Liao State for many years, planning for many years, waiting for a suitable opportunity to kill the king and start a war with the Zhao State.

"Okay! Where is the emperor now?" Ye Cairen turned around and sat down, fiddling with his hair with both hands.

"The emperor's dinner in the queen's palace tonight has not come out yet, so I guess I am going to stay there today!"

"Okay! Very good! The queen is a poisonous woman, I've endured enough for so many years, isn't she jealous, doesn't she love to compete for favors! I'll give her this opportunity today, let him die with that dog emperor!" This Ye Cairen gritted his teeth, his eyes widened as if he was about to burst into flames.

This Ye Cairen's original surname is Lou, the daughter of an official eunuch of the Liao State, who was less than ten years old at the time, so he left his hometown and was sent to the Ye family of Zhao State. When he left his family at a young age, he was naturally worried and scared, and he once thought about escaping, and he also used the trick of hunger strike, but in the end he was unsuccessful.

Since then, Ye Cairen has known that everyone has their own destiny, and her life has never been her own decision, she is only used as a tool to prepare for future wars, and she will no longer run away from then on.

Cardamom's years are in the prime of spring, but they have been tempered by hardships, and the training of secret agents is even more difficult for women!

Entered the palace at the age of 17 and was selected by the emperor, and there have been ups and downs in the palace for many years, the more favored by the emperor, the faster she climbs up, but the more she will become the target of public criticism. The methods of the women in this palace are not much inferior to the secret agents, the queen has been repeatedly suppressed, everything is involved, and she is deliberately framed, and now because of trumped-up charges, she has been demoted to a talented person, and the emperor's favor is not as good as before.

In Ye Cairen's eyes, everyone in this world is full of interests, there is no emotion at all, if she wants to live, she has to become more ruthless, and at this time she is already like a stone.

The scenes recalling the past are also sad scenes. At this time, Ye Cairen's face was full of sadness and resentment.

Bang, Bang, Bang,...... night watchmen in the palace knocked on the bangzi on time

At this time, the palace was silent, and even the sound of birds and insects could be heard, the breeze blew dark clouds, and the moon loomed in the sky, which made people can't help but shiver.

"Talented, it's already the third watch......"

"Are our people ready!" Hong Xiu and his party were ambushed near the main gate of the palace, and there were thousands of knights scattered around the palace, and there were also hundreds of Hong Xiu's subordinates in the palace, all of whom were ready to standby.

"King Xin, rest assured, everything is ready, once the traitor makes a move, our people will definitely stop it immediately!"

"Okay! The hour is coming, they are about to make a move, remember! No matter what, the emperor's safety must be guaranteed!" Hongxiu instructed his subordinates again.

At this time, Ye Cairen slowly got up, walked to the door, and looked up at the sky,

"There are too many dark clouds tonight, and the moon is blocked, so it's time to shine a light on you. Ye Cairen took a deep breath, with a mysterious smile on his face, and said slowly. "Do it! Put the signal ......"

Ye Cairen gave an order, and the silent night sky was broken by the explosion of a signal flare that jumped into the air.

As soon as the signal came out, the inner courtyard of the palace was full of fire, and there was also a flash of red light outside the palace, and the entire sky was illuminated.

"Action!" Hongxiu's heraldsmen, who had been lying in ambush outside the palace, suddenly, there was another surge of people, and both inside and outside the palace moved at the same time. Outside the palace, many Liao soldiers were improperly guarded and were captured alive by the Iron Mask Knight. The palace was also full of swords, and blood flowed like a river in an instant.

"What's going on? It's not good! The operation is exposed, they have an ambush!" Ye Cairen was immediately anxious when he saw this. The attendants on the side were also messed up.

"No matter what, the timely action failed in the end, and I can't let go of that dog emperor if I die! Come with me, let's go to the queen's Ganlu Palace, I will kill them with my own hands!" As he spoke, Ye Cairen picked up the short knife that had been prepared a long time ago, and rushed to the Ganlu Palace with his attendants.

"What's going on, what's going on out there!, is there an assassin, someone, someone!

"Your Majesty, slow down, watch out, Your Majesty!"

At this time, the emperor and queen were awakened by the sound of fighting, and the emperor only put on one boot in a panic and walked out, and the queen followed closely and hurriedly put on a coat for the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the Empress, it's not good, the Liao army has come in, and now a lot of people are dead outside, oops! There is blood all over the ground! Don't go out, but don't go out! Kill people!" A father-in-law, running from the outside to the inner hall, was so frightened that his soul was gone, his legs trembled, and his face turned blue.

"This, this, how can there be a Liao army in this palace!" At this time, the emperor really realized the danger, and his legs were a little frightened, and he staggered, almost not standing firmly.

"Be careful, Your Majesty!" the two hurriedly supported the emperor and sat down on the chair next to him.

"How good is this~" The queen sighed again and again, crying.

Just when the three of them were at a loss and panicked. "Bang!", the door was kicked open, and at this time, Ye Cairen's face was full of anger and murderous spirit, and he rushed in from outside with a short knife and his attendants.

"Ye Cairen, you, what are you going to do!" Seeing this, the queen immediately became stern and scolded.

Ye Cairen was furious and didn't wait for a reply. I only heard "bang, bang, bang, a few sounds" Hongxiu broke into the door with a group of guards, and one by one he was also angry and angry. There was a room full of people, those with knives and those with swords, and those with swords, and for a moment the air was still.

"Hong Xiu! It turned out that you were going to rebel, why, now you have to force the palace to fail!" Ye Cairen reacted quickly, and as soon as the conversation changed, he directly said that Hong Xiu was a rebel.

"What? You Liao State spy, do you still want to sow discord now? Kill me!" At the sound of an order, several people, including Ye Cairen, were killed by Hong Xiu's men, lying on the ground, blood flowing, so frightened that the queen and the eunuchs screamed loudly, and the emperor was so frightened that he didn't dare to move. Hong Xiu's arm was also stabbed by Ye Cairen, and he was bleeding at this time.

The thieves in the house were slaughtered, and the smell of blood was permeating.

"Brother Huang atoned for his sins, brother is late!" Hong Xiu knelt on the ground, one hand still covering his bleeding arm.

At this time, the emperor was already so frightened that he was almost stupid, his eyes were straight, and he couldn't say a word.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's Hongxiu! Hongxiu has come to save us, are you going to say something, Your Majesty!" The queen on the side was much more sober, and quickly grabbed the emperor's arm and shook it a few times.

The emperor blinked a few times and came back to his senses. "Oh, oh, second brother, it's you who are here, second brother, please get up quickly!" said and stepped forward to help.

"The imperial brother is frightened, the leader of the Liao army has been killed, and now there are hundreds of sins outside, at this time, the dragons are leaderless, the imperial brother and sister-in-law are waiting here, don't go out, wait for the ministers to clean up all the remnants, and then come to pick you out!

"Okay, good, good, second brother, be careful!" The emperor was very moved at this time.

"A few of you stay to protect the emperor, you must not leave an inch, and ensure the safety of the emperor and the emperor's sister-in-law!

Outside the main hall, there were still the sounds of war, and the eunuchs of the palace were fleeing in all directions, making a tragic sound of tearing and killing, and the emperor and the queen listened in the house, and they were also frightened. The soldiers of Zhao fought bravely to kill the enemy.

Before you know it, the sky is already bright, the sun is rising, shining on the entire palace, the bright red color seems to be connected with the sky, everywhere you can ask the pungent smell of blood, the Liao army has been mostly annihilated, there are still some people left to do interrogation, there is still panic everywhere, but there is no sound of fighting, everywhere is the screams of pain, and the uneasy atmosphere after the fright.

"Brother Huang, the Liao army has been suppressed, and a small number of iron cavalry are tracking down the remnants of the Liao army, presumably all of them will be wiped out soon, and now the palace is safe!"

"Okay, okay, thanks to the second brother's timely dispatch of troops this time, the consequences will be unimaginable. The emperor still pinched a cold sweat. "I really didn't expect that this Ye Cairen turned out to be a spy of the Liao Kingdom, who has been hidden in the palace for so many years, and still sleeps next to my pillow from time to time, speaking of which, it is really creepy!" The emperor is a little scared when he thinks about it now.

"The plan to assassinate the Liao State this time has been lost, I guess I won't give up, there will be more dirty means in the future, it's better not to take it lightly!"

"Yes, yes, this kind of thing must not happen again!" the emperor looked nervous. "Hongxiu, pass on the order, all the soldiers who guarded the palace before have been replaced! Send more elite soldiers under your command to take action! With this incident, it is better to take precautions!"

"Yes, Brother Huang, please rest assured, this morning, the younger brother has changed all the guards according to the emperor's wishes!" Hongxiu moved quickly and thought of the front of the emperor

"Oh, yes, yes, you've got a lot of ideas!

"Brother Huang, if there is nothing to do, the younger brother will retire first, and he will carefully examine the detailed works of those Liao States. I'll plan for that later."

"Okay! go, let's go!" the emperor was still uneasy.

Hongxiu gave up his hand and withdrew. At this moment, the queen slowly walked out from behind the screen. Hold the emperor and sit on the dragon chair.

"Your Majesty, this Hongxiu has military power, isn't his power too great!, you haven't ordered the change of guards, why is he good at making a proposal to change it!" The queen has long been dissatisfied with Hongxiu, and at this time she wants to sow discord.

"This time to save the driver, the second brother should be the first to make a contribution, why does the queen still say this? Hongxiu is also for the sake of the safety of the palace, don't think too much!" The emperor did not seem to be affected by the queen's provocation.

"Your Majesty~~ What do you think, the Liao army spies assassinated, we don't know anything in the palace, and even the elite soldiers guarding were killed, but this Hongxiu team rushed in as if they had been prepared, and they annihilated the Liao army so smoothly! Since you have been prepared for a long time, why don't you report to the emperor in advance? Even the emperor is a tricky matter, Hong Xiu did it so easily, don't you really feel suspicious? Hong Xiu's prestige in the army is now better than the emperor's." Before, because his mother's cousin was bullying, plundering wealth and killing people, Hongxiu once stood up for the commoners, and finally beheaded the queen's maternal cousin, and the queen was dissatisfied, so she always held a grudge.

"However, Hongxiu brought troops here to protect the safety of you and me! If there was no Hongxiu yesterday, the consequences would be unimaginable!" The emperor didn't want to believe that the queen was guessing.

"But the emperor, have you forgotten, before Ye Cairen died, he said that Hong Xiu was the one who rebelled, and he came to assassinate the emperor with a sword and soldiers. I'm afraid it's because I'm afraid of being exposed, so I killed Ye Cairen, the emperor~ If you think about it carefully, if there is no thing, why would Ye Cairen say that! Anyway, there is no proof of death now, but what the truth is, especially unknown, Your Majesty, we have to guard against it......

"Hugh is going to say it again, Hong Xiu has no second thoughts about me! Go down!" Hearing the queen's analysis, the emperor was a little annoyed

The emperor knows his own talents, resourcefulness, and leading troops, Hongxiu is above himself, and Hongxiu was also the best candidate for the crown prince back then, if it weren't for the low position of his biological mother, I'm afraid that it would be Hongxiu who is now on the throne.

Thinking of this, the emperor was a little annoyed and angry, and gradually became jealous of his younger brother. "If Hong Xiu wants to rebel, he may not have such a mind! Second brother, second brother! Now your edge is too strong! It's time for you to restrain yourself, otherwise one day if you can't control it, I will really have a big disaster!" "The emperor has never been assertive, his ears are soft, he was instigated by the queen, and he was reprimanded on the surface, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that even if it was not Hong Xiu this time, with his current status, one day in the future, Hong Xiu would definitely turn against himself and establish himself as the emperor.

The emperor's wariness of Hongxiu has added another layer.

Hongxiu is indeed kind to everything, and this time the chaos is meritorious, and many people in the court look at this king of faith differently.

Hong Xiu was busy quelling the chaos, the knife wound on his arm was not cleaned up in time, and the blade was poisonous, and Hong Xiu's arm had begun to suppurate. In the end, the whole person had a fever and could not go to court, so he had to recuperate at home.

Several generals who were close to him often came to visit the palace, and Hong Xiu remembered state affairs, so he asked about the follow-up of the assassination of the Liao State.

"King Xin, this time the chaos of our Zhao State has won a great victory, and the army's spirit is excited, why don't we take advantage of the victory and attack the Liao State in one fell swoop, we will definitely be able to win a big victory!" said a burly general with a somewhat fierce appearance.

"Cough, cough, cough, by all means, the Liao State planned this assassination operation, must have prepared a back road for itself, if they win, they will take advantage of the victory to pursue, and send troops to my Zhao State, if they lose, they must have strengthened their defenses, and the terrain of the Liao State is easy to defend and difficult to attack, now is definitely not a good time to send troops!" Hong Xiu disagreed with the general's statement and gave his own reasons.

The fierce general nodded approvingly.

"Yes, now is indeed not a good time to send troops, the Liao State must have enough chariots, horses, grain and grass to prepare for war, and we are empty-handed, and we can't raise so much grain and grass for a while! It is indeed not a good time to rush to send troops!" said another general.

After some discussion, the generals who came finally felt that now was indeed not the best time to send troops, and they still had to cultivate their preparations, make plans again, and not act impulsively.

The major matters must be discussed, and Hongxiu instructed them to deal with important military affairs, and several generals were about to leave.

"Chao Xue, I'm sorry for you, let's go to Wang Village to bring Yingxue back, it's safe at this time, it's time to pick her up!" Hongxiu stopped one of the generals and told him to pick up the princess.

"Yes, King Xin, I will bring the princess back safely! You can rest in peace!" General Chao Xue took his leave after receiving the order.

Hongxiu is cautious, and he loves his sister even more, and will not put her in a dangerous situation, so on the way back to the palace, he deliberately went to Wangcun and entrusted Princess Yingxue to a farmer's family.

Chao Xue was ordered, did not dare to delay for a moment, quickly stepped up, and went straight to Wangcun.

Wangcun is a remote mountain village, compared to the imperial city, it is relatively simple, slightly barren, and sparsely populated, completely unaffected by the assassination, and it is still quiet. The sound of a string of horses' hooves broke the silence of the mountain village. Soon it was to the house.

"Thank you two for this time, I thank you here on behalf of the king!" General Chao Xue saw the couple.

"Where is the general, the great kindness of the king to us, we will not be able to finish it in a few lifetimes. As long as the king of faith speaks, even if my old king has no ability, even if he gives up his life, he will never be ambiguous" The farmer has a simple face, but he is very resolute.

"Yes, yes, we all feel honored to be able to do a little help, don't mention the word thank you! we are really ashamed!" said the peasant woman.

"Okay, we'll keep all this in mind, then I'll take the princess back first! Don't bother too much, take your leave!" Without too much delay, General Chao Xue said goodbye to the two.

"Uncle and aunt, thank you for taking care of me these days, Yingxue is grateful!" Although Yingxue is a princess, she has been educated and educated by Hongxiu since she was a child, and she is very kind.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be! The princess is so polite, so that our honor is ......"

Yingxue got on the horse, Chao Xue took her all the way to the direction of the palace, only the horse's hooves stepped on the dust, after a while, the dust settled, and the village was quiet as if nothing had happened.

"Shizuka! God! Shizuka! When will you be busy!Come to me, I'm so bored by myself~" Lan Ling was really bored, lying on the couch and rolling back and forth, the whole yard was wandering, and there was no freshness of coming for the first time. There's really nothing to do.

"Who is calling me? You girl, you miss me so much!"

Hearing the sound of talking, Lan Ling's eyes lit up and he quickly got up. "Shizuka, you're finally here, why have you been here for so long, I've been waiting and waiting. Lan Ling complained a little and was happy.

"Oh yes, I'm going back in less than an hour, and after I've dealt with the matter at hand, won't I hurry up! How about it! You're still happy these days without restraint?" asked Shizuka.

"I'm alone, I'm very bored, I'm not happy at all! But I've made new friends! It's quite interesting!" Lan Ling is a master who can't hide things, and as soon as they meet, he confesses that he has run away. "There is a pair of brothers and sisters living in the back mountain, they are all very good, especially my brother's craftsmanship is amazing, I have eaten roast chicken twice! hey, hey, hey, hey......" After all, eating people has a short mouth, and Lan Ling is a little embarrassed to say it.

"What? You! You actually went out? Didn't you tell you not to go out if you had nothing to do, in fact, it doesn't hurt to go out, but in the mortal world, your experience is not enough, in case of any trouble, how can I explain it to His Royal Highness the Prince! You girl, it's really ......! It's really not worry-free......" Shizuka was a little annoyed when she heard Lan Ling say about going out.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, does he know about me in the mortal world?" Lan Ling became a little excited when he heard about His Royal Highness the Prince.

"Yes! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to Taolin, knowing that you didn't go back, and he came to my palace on purpose to ask about your situation! I had to tell the truth, and I couldn't help it! But His Royal Highness can promise me, don't tell your father about your affairs in the mortal world first, you can rest assured!" Shizuka said without confidence, after all, he promised Lan Ling not to mention this matter to anyone.

"Is it~ Did I go to you and ask me about my situation?" Lan Ling felt happy in his heart. "What else, what else did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say?" Lan Ling asked in a chatter.

"And, oh! That's right! Your Highness said, let you be careful to avoid that Feng Mao when you go back to the peach forest in the future! ”

Knowing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cared so much about himself and cared about Fengmao's affairs, Lan Ling was in a good mood now and was about to fly. Standing there stupidly and committing a nymphomaniac, the spring heart rippled.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing, why are you in a daze?" Shizuka pushed Lan Ling.

"Ahh

"These days, why do I think you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are weird, oh~ I know! Could it be that you two are really ......" Shizuka's eyes widened, and she poked her head out and asked Lan Ling with interest.
