Chapter 46: Scars
After a few heavy snowfalls, winter has been declared in Hariyah Province. Today, Ye Shu sent a herald to call Ye Lan alone, Ye Fan wanted to follow, but was stopped by Ye Lan, so he had to stay in the inn obediently and wait for the news.
There was no snow today, but there was a strong wind.
The wind howled and swept across the land, causing pain in the cheeks. The sky was overcast with clouds, and it was gloomy and stuffy.
Yelan originally wanted to bring no guards, but Shui Xuan didn't follow, so he sent a few disciples to dress up in disguise and mix in the family to protect Yelan Quan.
The guards followed Yelan into the Governor's Palace, but were stopped outside the door of the lobby of the Governor's Palace. The guards were a little angry, but Yelan just waved them to wait outside the door.
"His Royal Highness the King of Light, please, King Gong is waiting for you inside. The herald made a gesture, and the guards stepped back to the flanks to stand on guard. Yelan guessed in his heart: Maybe Shen Kuo was like this that day.
Ye Shu turned his back to him, holding the bright yellow holy decree in his hand, and when he heard the movement, he turned around without hurrying, with a villainous smile and joy on his face.
"The father has a will, and the king of light Yelan receives the will. Ye Shu spread out the holy decree, "The Light King Yelan, the guard is not effective, and he has not reported it in time, I am very angry. Today, I ordered King Gong to enforce the military law on my behalf, and punished King Guang with a hundred sticks, and punished him for half a year, and he was punished for half a year, so ~~~"
"The retainers obeyed. Yelan arched her hand.
Seeing that Yelan had no intention of resisting, Yeshu was even more proud in his heart, and he shouted, "Come on, go to the military stick." ”
The guards received the order and pressed Yelan against the board, ready to execute the baton.
"If I'm not mistaken, Shen Kuo, the king of Xichang, went out with the main hall and served as the commander, why don't you see the king of Xichang now?"
"Shen Kuo, the king of Xichang, conspired against him, and the king has temporarily detained him in the palace, leaving him to return to Beijing to be judged by his father. Ye Shu said.
"Is it a conspiracy, or is there a crime in the hall at will? I'm afraid it is still unknown. Ye Lan looked at Ye Shu coldly, not flustered at all.
Ye Shu was already nervous about this matter, and when Ye Lan mentioned it now, he was a little unable to understand it in his heart, but he still pretended to be calm on his face.
"Everyone present on the day of the banquet can witness that the King of Light has not forgotten the lesson and wants to frame the king!" Ye Shu scolded angrily, and Ye Lan raised his eyebrows.
"In this case, why should the hall be so flustered, I think it is a thief. Why don't you release Shen Kuo, the king of Xichang, listen to the defense of the king of Xichang, and make a decision based on the words of the main hall, whether he did not take his father in his eyes. ”
"Isn't King Guang Mo trying to delay time?" Ye Shu sneered, "No matter how much you delay, no one can dispense with this military stick for you." ”
"The Law of March!" Nan Xuanji suddenly spoke. Yelan has been delaying time for a long time, which Nan Xuanji can see clearly, in order to prevent accidents, Yelan must stop his mouth.
Yelan didn't say anything more, and calmly took the military stick.
"Bang, bang. The guards beat them down one by one, but Yelan didn't make the slightest sound, and his expression was as calm as a clear spring. In fact, his legs were blown by the cold wind, so that the seal was sealed, and now his legs were stiff and unconscious. In order not to let people see the flaws, he could only be beaten with a military stick to hide his leg disease.
Thirty sticks down, Yelan's legs were slightly red, and red blood dripped to the ground. The white robe he was wearing today was now stained red with blood, as dazzling as the scorching sun, making his disciples look shocking from afar.
Suddenly, a herald ran towards Ye Shu with small steps, his steps were very urgent, and he held the hilt of his sword in his right hand. I saw him running to Ye Shusheng and whispering a few words, Ye Shu's expression changed greatly, Nan Xuanji seemed to expect it, and he didn't seem so surprised. I could only hear Ye Shu lower his voice, but he couldn't hide his anger, "Don't chase it yet!"
"The person who came was strong in martial arts, and he disappeared in a moment, and we couldn't catch up. The herald's voice was small, but Yelan heard it clearly, and the corners of his mouth slightly outlined a smile, and then withdrew his smile without a trace.
"Send more people, pass on my orders, and seal the city gate immediately!" Ye Shu commanded.
"Master, what should we do?" Ye Shu turned his head to look at Nan Xuanji, and his brows were uneasy that he couldn't hide.
"There are a lot of people who know about Shen Kuo, but they don't say it. Even if he ran away, he wouldn't make much of a stir, and he would plan for the worst, that is, argue with him in front of the emperor. Nan Xuanji's gaze was straight at Ye Lan, and he didn't seem to care so much about Shen Kuo's abduction.
"Come, follow the king after the assassins. Ye Shu shouted, turned around and did not forget to order the soldiers, "A hundred sticks and a stick must not be missing." ”
Ye Shu took people away, Nan Xuanji hesitated for a moment, and also left with Ye Shu. At this time, the family guards outside the door rushed in and slashed and killed, killing all the guards left by Ye Shu, and the disciples in disguise lifted Ye Lan, ran out of the governor's mansion with a smoke, and carried Ye Lan into the carriage and left.
......
"Did you catch it?" asked Ye Shu urgently.
"The city gate has been closed, and the assassins can't get out, so rest assured, your highness, but the Central Army will definitely be able to find them in three days. Xiong Yandao, deputy general of the Central Army.
"Your Highness, the people of the King of Light killed the guards you left behind and took the King of Light away. A guard hurried to report to Yeshu.
Ye Shu's head instantly became bigger, and the stick was also hit, so there was no reason to catch Ye Lan back.
"That's it, you continue to search, and report back as soon as you have any news. ”
......
inn
"Fourth brother, your legs ......" Ye Fan drowned his saliva, not daring to look at Ye Lan's legs.
Yelan's lower body was stained red with blood, and she couldn't look directly at her when she lifted her robe. He dipped the cloth in wine and gently wiped the blood clean, only frowned slightly, bit his chin, and then changed into clean clothes.
"Ye Shu is really ruthless. Yefan muttered. After finishing speaking, he looked at the tulip purse hanging from his waist, and a sour feeling surged in his heart.
This purse is a pair, which was embroidered to him by Yefan's biological mother, Concubine Xian.
Ye Fan couldn't forget that his mother smiled and handed him the purse, "This purse was embroidered by the mother concubine herself, and when Zichong grows up, he will give the purse to the girl you like, and keep one for himself." ”
At that time, Ye Fan was still young, and after hearing this, he just blushed, don't turn his head and say shyly, "Mother, what nonsense are you talking about." ”
Concubine Xian rubbed his head and smiled kindly.
Ye Fan never expected that his mother would not see the day he married and had children.
Touching the scene. Seeing Yelan's injury and thinking of the heroine's appearance, Yefan's hands clenched into fists and "gurgled", exuding a ruthless murderous aura between his eyebrows and eyes.
Yelan didn't see Ye Fan's expression, he had something on his mind.
"You go back and rest first, I'm afraid you'll have to go to war in a few days. Ye Lan said to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan reined in his edge, just nodded, he left the wound medicine and left.
"Whoosh. Shui Xuan squatted outside for a long time, and only came in from outside when he saw Yefan leaving.
"Lord. Shui Xuan saluted.
"How is Shen Kuo?" Ye Lan gently sprinkled the wound medicine on his legs, and although he tried his best to restrain himself, he couldn't help but "hum".
"Lord, Your Wounded ......"
"It's okay. Yelan quickly bandaged his legs, "A hundred sticks, if it weren't for the cold wind blowing and freezing, it would have hurt a little." ”
"The ice seal on the Lord has been refined to the ninth level, and in winter, the ice is biting, and now it hurts your muscles and bones, you must move less during this time, otherwise this leg will ......"
"I'll take control, let's talk about Shen Kuo first. Yelan interrupted.
"Ye Shu's personal guards were transferred to the lobby, as you expected, the dungeon guards guarding Shen Kuo were relatively loosely defended, so we took advantage of the situation to enter and rescue Shen Kuo. Now he is temporarily placed in a secret stronghold, he has been given anesthetic, and he is unconscious, so it will not hinder us from doing things. ”
"How are the casualties among the disciples?"
"The loss is not big. Shui Xuan said, "You have attracted Ye Shu's attention, and it is convenient for us to act here." Now that the central army of the Shu faction has sealed the four gates, we can only transport Shen Kuo away through the secret passage. ”
"Not yet. Yelan shook his head, "Shen Kuo stayed for the time being, and he was not in a hurry to send it to the capital." ”
"But...... Where is Yi Wangji?" Shui Xuan wondered.
"There is no need to go back on what you promised, but the time limit can be slightly extended. Yelan said lightly.
"The Lord wants to use this to contain Gong Wang Shu and Yi Wang Ji. "Shui Xuan is very smart, and it only took a second to comprehend Yelan's intentions.
"You go and find out about Prince Yu's whereabouts, and say that I will find a suitable opportunity to meet him. Yelan said.
"The subordinates understand. ”
