Chapter 6: Chaos and Escape (4)

One

The sun is high, and after the morning light, the warm sunshine warms the cold Dongzi. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

On Luoyu Street, there were few people in Liao, and when the first golden light broke through the clouds in the morning, the Qinglou Courtyard closed the door and refused to accept customers. Not long ago, the late-night carnival dissipated like a mist with the sun, and now all that remains is the wind blowing through the sky.

The rule of the hospital is to pick up customers in the middle of the night, and no customers will be picked up during the day. The glamorous girls had already packed up, untied their clothes early, and rested early, and would not wake up until night fell. Even if the rich and noble sons who left were happy with wine, they waited patiently for the dark, and then went to the gentle countryside to get drunk and dream of death.

There are rules and regulations, and after all, they are set by people, and there will always be exceptions.

At this time, the person who made an exception and stayed in the flower building that men all over the world yearn for was enjoying the service of seven or eight beautiful girls, allowing them to feed and give them a hug.

In the glittering room, the doors and windows were closed, and the red curtain concealed the bright colors inside, and only the sound of soft laughter and various joking tunes leaked through the curtain and through the cracks of the door.

The merry man sat on the ring of fat Yingyan, his handsome face was slightly red, and he was probably drunk. On the soft couch beside him lazily nested a green-eyed kitten with a scarlet body.

At this time, there was a sound outside the door, and a woman's hurried voice came in: "My lord, something is wrong." ”

“...... In. The man opened his dark brown eyes, and his cold eyes lost the drunkenness he had just had, and the drunkenness disappeared for a while.

The door was gently pushed open, and a woman bowed her head and half-knelt on the ground respectfully, her voice could not hide her sadness: "Something happened over there." ”

The words made the man's face cast a shadow and he was silent. After a long time, he raised his hand and waved, and the beautiful girls stood up in understanding, and withdrew silently, leaving the huge room to a man and a woman.

The woman's slender body remained motionless for a long time before she heard a warm male voice above her head - "What happened to Xinghai Yuelou?"

"Your Highness......" She involuntarily raised her head and changed her title, but saw that the man was standing in front of her at some point, looking at her with his head slightly down. From the point of view of her looking up, half of the man's face at this time was shrouded in shadows, and his eyes full of gloom were cold and acute, making people shudder as if they had fallen into a cold pool at a glance.

The woman only felt the coldness of her spine inch by inch, and quickly lowered her head, trying her best to restrain herself from trembling, at least in front of His Highness. She suppressed the tremor in her heart, tried to make her voice sound steady, and said: "This morning, the boat went out to sea for less than a hundred meters, and for some reason, the bottom of the ship suddenly exploded, and thick smoke flew out. Half of the people on board have fallen overboard. ”

The man is the second prince of the Huanhualou who sings every night, he sent away the words and deeds, and did not change his clothes;

"Did our people do it?" his cold voice rang out for a long time.

"It's not. The woman said, "Your Highness has instructed you not to act rashly before setting sail, and our people have been waiting peacefully to attack Xinghai Yuelou three days after sailing according to your plan." ”

"Who's going to do it before us?" Huang Li squinted, his mind circling rapidly, but he couldn't think of any valuable information.

"I don't know, according to the spies we planted on the ship, there was a sudden explosion in the cabin, which damaged the bottom of the ship and seeped in seawater. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had the boat towed back to shore and was making every effort to investigate the matter thoroughly. ”

Explode...... Huang Li's face was solemn, his eyebrows were gloomy like a black cloud pressing down on the city, and he asked, "What can be found out now?"

The woman raised her head slightly, her expression nervous mixed with a hint of paleness, and murmured, "The spy reported that it was ...... It was as if it was explosives that blew up the bottom of the ship, causing another fire and burning half of the ship. ”

The words were uneasy, but only the words "explosives", "fire", and "burning half of the ship" really made people sweat, and just listening to it, you could imagine how vigorous the scene was and how serious the destruction of the ship was.

Huang Li's face could no longer be described as fierce, he lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes covered the dark light circulating in his eyes, casting a shadow, and asked: "Is Huang Fuyan still chasing the remnants of the Long Clan?"

"Nope. The woman shook her head, "As soon as he heard that something had happened to Xinghai Yuelou, he handed over the matter of chasing to the dragoon guards, and before he ordered the whole city to search, he went straight to the west bank to defend the prince's left and right." ”

"He really cares about my eldest brother's safety in the current chaos, and he doesn't want to think about what went wrong in all this. Huang Li snorted coldly, "Did the Long Clan and Yunwu leave Dongzi?"

When the woman heard this, she paused for a moment, and then said respectfully: "There shouldn't be." ”

"That's it, last night's robber, today's bombing of the ship, I can't see that Long Tian and Mei Yue still have such skills, and one move not only forced the eldest brother to have to wait for them to chase, but also left a bunch of troubles waiting for them to solve. This trick is quite ruthless, and the eldest brother is now afraid that he is lacking in skills and is anxious. The Long Clan and Yunwu were also able to have time to wait for the opportunity to escape, without worrying about Huangfu Yan's pursuit. The solution of worries is well considered. Huang Li sneered, his eyes locked on the kitten on the couch - it curled up, its tail wagging, its green eyes flashing with a glazed light, like a jewel extracting starlight, precious and gorgeous. Somehow, he always felt that the kitten in front of him was very similar to a certain kitten, and that cunning and treacherous appearance was very similar. Suddenly, there was a flash of lightning in his head, but he still grabbed his tail. Turning to the woman, he said, "Evacuate our men from the ship immediately, and get rid of them as soon as possible, leaving no traces." In addition, go and tell people to keep an eye on the Gold and Silver Chamber of Commerce now, especially Jiang Lao and his granddaughter, and don't let go of every move. ”

"Your Highness......" The woman did not immediately start acting, and her voice was full of embarrassment: "I just received a news that many powerful families in the city are spreading it in private...... The granddaughter that Mr. Jiang found back was a fake. ”

Half a year ago, Mr. Jiang, who had no children and no daughters, suddenly found his granddaughter who had been away for many years, and everyone in the city knew about this incident, and many people wanted to visit and congratulate Mr. Jiang on having children to inherit the family business, but Mr. Jiang refused many visits on the grounds that his granddaughter was weak and inconvenient, and closed the door and did not accept customers for half a year. Everyone disagreed, but the rumored young lady who owned the Wanguan family property of the Gold and Silver Chamber of Commerce was a cowardly and timid person, and was well protected by Mr. Jiang. It's just that Mr. Jiang's good mood of looking forward to the return of his grandson is completely shattered today a few months later, I don't know who found out that the newly recognized young lady is actually an impostor, Mr. Jiang heard the words, sent someone to investigate thoroughly, and the results confirmed the rumors. As a result, Mr. Jiang, who was old and serious, couldn't withstand this heavy blow and couldn't afford to get sick. This matter has become the topic of conversation in the private life and pastime of the wealthy and noble families in Dongzi. For Mr. Jiang's unfortunate experience, there are sympathies, pity, and emotion, but more of them are watching dramas and ridicule.

The Gold and Silver Chamber of Commerce is one of the three giants of Dongzi, and there is no shortage of people who are red-eyed. In addition to the scandal of acknowledging his granddaughter like this, Mr. Jiang was quickly added to the scandal to spread the rumors, and he became the laughing stock of half the city in a short time. In the end, the veracity of the rumors is no longer to be verified, but the speed and influence of chasing after the wind and shadows have made Jiang Lao a poor widow who has been deceived, which makes people sympathize, and the female thief who pretended to be someone's grandson has become a shameless and unscrupulous woman, who is criticized by others.

For a long time, Huang Li, as a smart person with a shrewd mind, has always looked at people very accurately, and rarely made mistakes. So when he heard this kind of news, he couldn't help but be stunned, and he couldn't react for a while, and after a long time, he asked out loud: "That woman is not Jiang Lao's granddaughter?"

The woman's head was lowered, "That's so." ”

"How could it be?" Huang Li opened his eyes slightly, there were too many unexpected news about the accidents that happened every day this night, there were too many things circling in his mind, and now there was one more thing, and he was already in a mess. Now the arrogant prince finally understands what it means to be caught off guard.

If the author who gave him a headache learned about his troubles, he would laugh heartily.

It's just that the dignified second prince of Southern Chu, the favorite son of Emperor Yuan Jing, how could he mess up because of too many things. So he quickly calmed down, and in a very short time recalled everything that had happened recently, and the ideas to be sorted out surfaced like a thin line, and he suddenly realized that he had guessed the puzzle. Everything that had happened in the past few days came to mind like a mirror image...... The cooperation between the Long clan and Yunwu, the dark prison was discovered, Mei Yuehan was rescued, Duan Qianyan disappeared, the huge lantern, the accident in Xinghai Yuelou, and the identity of the kitten.

Everything that is too normal is always something unusual. The cooperation between the Long clan and Yunwu was forced by the situation, and they had to work together to rescue Mei Yuehan, but Duan Qianyan disappeared in their rescue, which was very strange. At first, he thought that Duan Qianyan had taken the opportunity to escape, but now that there was a fake granddaughter, he had to wonder if there was a connection, and more importantly, the accident in Xinghai Yuelou was obviously caused by explosives.

At the beginning, he cooperated with the Gold and Silver Chamber of Commerce, and used Duan Qianyan, a chess piece, to coerce Jiang Lao to agree to steal beams and change pillars in the cargo transported into the ship's hold and mix explosives.

The Gold and Silver Chamber of Commerce has a great reputation in Dongzi, and the people with heads and faces in the entire Southern Chu know that it is the three giants of Dongzi. The magistrate of Han County prepared goods for the crown prince to prepare for the needs of Xinghai Yuelou, and gold and silver were the primary suppliers. Therefore, Huang Li guessed that with the trust of the magistrate of Han County in Jiang Lao, the inspection of goods would not be too rigorous, and he also took a fancy to this so that Mingyue tried to get close to the Gold and Silver Chamber of Commerce in order to win over Jiang Lao. Although it was unlikely that he would be wooed, he could also think of other ways to get Jiang Lao to cooperate with him. thought that Mingyue would have a chance to get close to the Gold and Silver Chamber of Commerce, but the shrewd Jiang Lao refused everything except for ordinary business cooperation. In desperation, let him find out that the kitten he was secretly tracking down was actually Jiang Lao's granddaughter, and by mistake, he used Duan Qianyan to blackmail the kitten, and at the same time forced Jiang Lao to embark on his plan.

But now, the plan has come to the last step, because the halfway battle between the Long Clan and Yunwu not only disrupted the plan, but also made the secret hidden in the Xinghai Moon Tower leak in advance, and explosives were one of them.

Huang Li is very smart and understands the depth of the friendship between the crown prince and Huangfu Yan, and his other identity is one of the three giants, King Bai Pusi - Duanmu Qi. King Bai Pusi also participated in the replenishment of the inventory of Xinghai Yuelou, but he did not add explosives to his goods, but only smuggled the explosives to the ship through the Gold and Silver Chamber of Commerce, in order to hide people's eyes and ears and prevent others from discovering his movements.

He was sure that the only person who knew that there was explosives on the ship was Jiang Lao except his people.

The Long Clan and Yunwu blew up the ship to contain the pursuit of the crown prince and Huangfu Yan, and this way back was very clever.

But the question is, how did the Long Clan and Yunwu learn that there were explosives in the Xinghai Moon Tower?

Thinking that when they rescued Mei Yuehan, Duan Qianyan disappeared at the same time. Huang Li was basically sure that the kitten must have something to do with the gang's rescue plan. Why do you guess so, because the fake granddaughter happened to be rumored at a time when everyone was nervous, which doesn't indicate that she was preparing to run away afterwards!

Finding that he was pit by the kitten, the emperor was furious, and laughed angrily: "Okay, good." She really dared to design me. ”

He deliberately stayed overnight in the Flower Tower so that the Long Clan Yunwu had the opportunity to discover the location where Mei Yuehan was imprisoned, in order to find something for his eldest brother to do, and he had no intention of paying attention to him, so that he could take this opportunity to secretly sabotage Xinghai Yuelou's plan; Now the eldest brother's eyes are no longer focused on the rebel remnants, but his secret plan.

It's a bad feeling to be a stepping stone for someone else.

Huang Li could imagine how proud the kitten was after biting him.

Just thinking about it makes you angry and hateful.

"Mu Lan, tell me to go down, everyone go to Dongzi Garden, surround the garden of the old man Jiang Lao, don't let anyone out, I want to catch that little cat." Huang Li's anger leaked out, and his face was terrifyingly dark.

The woman kneeling on the ground couldn't help but tremble and accepted the order in a low voice.
