Chapter 1042: Becoming a King and Defeating a Queen
The lights in the house went out suddenly, Nangong Rehe was the first to react, just when he was short and wanted to enter, two figures suddenly appeared on both sides, holding steel knives and slashing straight at him, he dodged, heard the sound of falling to the ground behind him, and looked back, only to find that the Imperial Forest Army eating in the yard had fallen to the ground.
It's not good, it's a trick!
A sharp whistle came out of his mouth, and while he dealt with the two people who attacked him, he was looking for an opportunity to get close to the courtyard, but Bai Ze, who was on patrol, had not yet brought people to arrive, but the other party had more reinforcements.
Looking at the countless black shadows born on the flat ground, Nangong Rehe couldn't help but secretly inhale.
Who are these people ambushing here? It seems that they are prepared, there must be something wrong in the house, I just hope that the little marquis can hold on!
"Nangong-" Bai Ze's voice came from afar, but Nangong Rehe was already lacking in skills, and he couldn't even respond, he didn't even dare to gasp for breath, for fear that one of his inattention would give the other party an opportunity to take advantage of. The palace maids outside the house fled in all directions and let out screams, but they couldn't get a response from Nangong, and they couldn't hear any of the voices of the Imperial Forest Army, Bai Ze felt a deep fear.
Just now, after the few pots of food were kicked down by the lady concubine Niangniang angrily, he took half of the men and horses to patrol nearby, estimated that the time was almost inseparable, and then led people to slowly retract back to the stationing place, I thought that what was waiting for everyone after coming back was a hot pot and a hot stove, a good meal, who knew that it was still far away and heard the warning sound of Nangong Rehe, he knew that there was a change, so he rode his horse and galloped all the way back, and found that the situation was extraordinary.
"The little marquis is still inside--bring people in-" Nangong Rehe burst out a hoarse shout from the heavy encirclement, Bai Ze didn't have time to hesitate, and led people to rush towards the courtyard desperately, the other party obviously didn't care about life and death, so he spared no effort to fight, the courtyard was dark, and no sound could be heard in the house, no one knew what happened there, and now what was left.
"Bump into them-" The fight turned into a grappling in the end, Nangong Rehe and Bai Ze pushed away the two in front of them with all their strength, and then used their bodies as shields to bump out of a way.
"Let's go!" The Royal Forest Army behind jumped into the courtyard one after another, and kicked the door open all the way to break in.
It was dark inside, and there was no one in sight, only the sound of sobbing coming from the corner.
"Who, come out-" Nangong Rehe roared and rushed to the place where the sound came from, and a royal forest soldier took out a fire fold and blew it up, lit the oil lamp in the house, only to find that it was Concubine Niangniang's personal maid Deya who was shrinking in the corner.
"Where did Niangniang and the little Hou Ye go?!" The room is not big, and the whole situation was swept at a glance, when it was found that the little Hou Ye and the lady concubine Niangniang were not in the house, Nangong Rehe first breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked Deya urgently, Deya was obviously frightened, stood up tremblingly, and was speechless for a long time.
"They're gone!" But it was the Imperial Forest Army who came from behind that they found that the black shadow people outside the house were all silently evacuated the moment they and others entered the house, Bai Ze grabbed Nangong Rehe's arm with one hand, motioned him to look at the smashed window, and said: "The little marquis must have broken out with the lady concubine, these people have an unknown purpose, and now the retreat must be to help their leaders chase the little marquis, without further ado, let's quickly allocate people to find it nearby, and we also have to let people go back to the eastern capital to report the matter, I'm afraid that the matter will be bigger if it's late!"
"Qingchun, take my token back to Beijing, and make sure that the emperor immediately transfers troops!" Nangong Rehe tore off the token from his waist and threw it at Qingchun, paused, and said: "Madame also went back to the court, just said, the little marquis, he-he is gone......"
Knowing how much turmoil this matter would cause when it was reported back to the Little Marquis's Mansion, but now that Gongzi is also in the mansion, if the Little Marquis is really in danger, Gongzi may be able to help him, so Nangong Rehe didn't care about more, and after saying that, he and Bai Ze allocated the few remaining manpower, and then started the vast search journey at night.
Concubine Niangniang's itinerary is not pre-booked, even if these people are ambushed here, they must not be able to make all preparations, so the little marquis will have the opportunity to get out of the house, but I don't know how many people are chasing behind him, and how many opportunities he can have with Concubine Niangniang!
It was late at night, everything was silent, but the whole village did not even have a trace of dog barking, Nangong Rehe only found out that he and others were too careless at this time, these signs should have been detected in advance, but they were ignored because of the difficulty and tossing of the lady concubine along the way!
Damn, really damn it! I hope that the little marquis is okay with others, no, he will be fine, he has come through the wind and waves, this little twist and turn will not kill him!
Certain!
"I know you're around here, come out, I don't want your life, but I need you to exchange two people. Old man Zhang's cold voice came from the deep valley, his slow steps stepped through the dead wood and grass, and he carefully searched for every slight sound coming from the vicinity with his ears and eyes, his face had long since lost the look of a pleasing old man, replaced by Ling Feng's murderous countenance.
The wet grass smelled of rotting fungi, and behind a huge fir tree shrank two figures, one shivering, the other panting.
Knowing that the other party would soon find out, Bai Yan took a break and pulled Zheng Wanxin up. When the lights went out, he could see very clearly that the first person the other party wanted was Zheng Wanxin and not himself, that is to say, the person he wanted to hold hostage was Zheng Wanxin, no matter what his purpose was, he couldn't let him succeed.
"Let's go. After whispering, he took Zheng Wanxin and retreated in the direction of the mountain. The situation was too sudden just now, he just wanted to get rid of Ling Feng as soon as possible, so he didn't choose the way, and now he understood that he could only meet Nangong and the others if he went down the mountain, but after he ran away with Zheng Wanxin for a while, he found that his body was becoming more and more paralyzed, and his limbs and bones had become weak.
What's going on?!
He staggered two steps and motioned for Zheng Wanxin to stop.
From the moment he rushed out of the room, it didn't feel right! After letting go of Zheng Wanxin, he raised his hands in front of his eyes, only to find that his ten fingers were shaking.
"You...... How are you? What's wrong with your hand?" Zheng Wanxin also realized that something was wrong, she reached out to help Bai Yan in a little panic, but he broke away.
"There's something wrong with that meal!" Bai Yan tried to clench his fists to calm himself, but the strangeness of his body told him that his internal strength was suppressed: "You find a place to hide, and I'll lure him away." ”
"No, I won't let you go, I'm ...... I didn't mean to drug my food!I didn't know it was going to happen, I-"
"What did you say! What did you order, why did you make my internal force constrained!" Zheng Wanxin's words made Bai Yan angry, he grabbed Zheng Wanxin's wrist and pulled her towards him, and asked fiercely, Zheng Wanxin sobbed and shook her head, and whispered in a defense: "I asked Deya to get it back from outside the palace, that medicine is not like this, I don't know how it became like this, I just ...... Just want ......"
Needless to say, Bai Yan already understood, he knew that the medicine he was in was not the kind that Zheng Wanxin said at all, Xu didn't even know when she was dropped, and now there is no way to investigate everything, for the sake of today, it is only right to leave with her safely.
"Not good, the way down the mountain is blocked. Bai Yan knew that it was not his own person who came, he lowered his head and thought for a moment, thinking of the river where he bathed at night, so he pulled Zheng Wanxin's arm and said, "Let's go, go up the mountain." ”
Ling Feng looked at the two figures who were desperately going up in the night, narrowed his eyes slightly, and when the people gathered, he raised his finger towards one of them, and said coldly: "Release the eagle and notify Xiaoba to do it!"
The goshawk flapped its wings and rushed away from the forest, and at the same time, Qingchun, who was galloping on the way back to Beijing, was shot down from his horse by the shadow thorn of the halfway ambush, and he was still holding the token of Nangong Rehe in his hand to death. That is, on the same night, the remnants of the Wu clan, who were ambushed outside the Little Marquis' Mansion in the Eastern Capital, launched a surprise attack on the unsuspecting Houye's Mansion.
On the seventh day of the National Day, Qi went to Hailing Island with large and small preserved eggs, and the children had a happy holiday~
