Chapter 172: Your Highness
Dozens of rooms in the post house were lit up, plus pine oil torches outside.
The whole station is very bright.
In addition to carrying the dead and wounded, the other guards were still vigilant and performed their duties.
Bai Liwei's heart was slightly relieved.
But Tang Bi is not an ordinary person.
If the general went to Zhou Rong's room at this moment, what if Tang Bi came back again!
Bailiwei stepped up and soon came to Zhou Rong's room.
The door was hidden.
Bailiwei pushed the door in, and the room was quiet, only a light was on at the door.
The two attendants slept soundly in front of the bed, one on the left and one on the right.
On a hot day, Zhou Rong's bed was low. The general stood in front of the bed, as if hesitating to lift the veil.
Before Bailiwei could step forward, the general had already lifted the gauze tent, and before Bailiwei could see the situation in the tent, the gauze tent hung down.
The general turned around with an iron face and collided with Bailiwei.
"What?" asked Bailiwei in a low voice.
The general didn't answer, stretched out his hand and strode to the door with Bailiwei, whispering as he walked: "Your Highness is not here! ”
Bailiwei only felt his heart sink.
When the guard mentioned that the doors and windows of Zhou Rong's room were safe before, Bailiwei felt that something was wrong. At this moment, it suddenly occurred to me that the weather was hot, and Zhou Rong must have slept with the window open. If the window is closed, then it means that when Tang Bi came, Zhou Rong was no longer in the room. Or, the person who fought with them just now was not Tang Bi at all. It's just a resignation!
Thinking of this, Bailiwei only felt that his hands and feet were cold, and his eyes were black for a while, but fortunately he held on to the door and stabilized his figure.
Before he took Zhou Ziyi and the county lord of Longwu away, did he plan for the worst?
Bailiwei watched the dazzling torches shining back and forth in the courtyard, took a deep breath, and entered Zhou Rong's room again. Take a closer look at the room. Whether it was the windowsill or the ground, there were no other wet footprints except the wet footprints of him and the general!
Bailiwei came to the bed. Shoved one of the attendants. No matter how much he pushed it, the man still fell asleep. It looks like someone has sealed the acupoint. In order not to attract the attention of the guards, Bailiwei did not care about the sleeping attendant. Soon left the room, half-leaning in front of the door. It's like guarding.
No one came in. That only means that he is out!
Where will he go?
Do what?
Or maybe Tang Bi performed a miracle. Won't leave footprints?
Thousands of things filled his brain, and Bai Liwei's heart was crazy to the extreme.
The rain has stopped.
The sky was also bright.
A pair of big hands slapped on the shoulder of Baili Wei: "What are you guarding when it's dawn!"
Baili Wei raised his head and faced Zhou Rong's deep eyes. Frightened hurriedly stepped back and slammed the door open. Bailiwei sat on the ground almost with his ass: "Lord, you, you"
Zhou Rong was only wearing a middle coat, lazy, and without looking at Bailiwei, he strode to the bed, and pulled up the gauze tent: "It's still early, I'll sleep again!"
Bailiwei blinked his eyes again and again, rubbed his eyes again, got up, closed the door, and quickly came to the bed.
The gauze tent was still hanging low, if it weren't for the shoes in front of the bed, Bailiwei would have thought he was dazzled.
The shoes are dry.
Baili Weizheng was surprised, and heard Zhou Rong say again: "The general's shouting was too loud, and I was woken up." While you were fighting, I went to see Tang Shilang, where he played a game of chess, and when the general looked for it, we had just finished playing. It's dawning, so Tang Bi naturally won't come again, now you can go out. ”
"And what about them? Who sealed their acupuncture points?"
Zhou Rong said lazily: "I want to go! Don't delay my sleep!"
Bailiwei frowned and gritted his teeth and walked out of the room.
The general also frowned, and when he saw Baili Weiyi pulling him towards the courtyard, he walked a few steps towards the courtyard and said: "It's the first time I've gone out with His Highness, you should know his temperament better than me, did he often do this before?
Bailiwei shrugged his shoulders: "The heroic generals of the Great Zhou also have such uncalm times." Our Highness cares about your subordinates. Our people are guarding His Highness, in case someone assassinates Tang Shilang!"
"Where's that!" the general clenched his fists with a dark face: "No wonder, several other generals refuse to come! Our Highness will sometimes really scare people to death!"
At this time, a guard approached and said: "General Qiyu, after counting, forty-five were killed and two hundred were wounded, all of which were slightly injured. ”
"Oh?" the heroic general was slightly stunned: "Minor injury?"
At this time, another guard came to report: "Outside the post station, three hundred and fourteen bodies in black clothes were found. I've already reported it to Yicheng!"
Bai Liwei sneered: "What's the use of a little Yicheng! At most, it's just a collection of corpses! In the realm of their Tang Kingdom, they dare to assassinate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of our Great Zhou, and it is a lineup of hundreds of people, then Li Yanyou is really good at governing the country!"
The heroic general sighed and said: "When you came, Your Majesty specially explained, this is not the time to start a war against the Tang State, and we still have to endure everything! Besides, this happened on the border between the Tang State and Wu Yue, and the Tang State did not recognize it, so we could not do anything." ”
"Hmph!" Bai Liwei flicked his sleeves and turned around and said, "Then the general will endure it, and his subordinates will accompany His Highness!"
After the rain, the sky was clear, and the sky was not as hot as before.
The refreshing nature of summer is intoxicating!
At sunrise, Zhou Rongcai slowly got up, and after eating, he slowly rushed towards Qingxi Pass in the south in a black gilt four-car Daluan.
The sun is shining, the queue is solemn, and the guard of honor is bright.
It seems that this Luan driving team from the north has been safe all the way, and it is about to reach the destination, and even everyone has a faint relief on their faces.
As Zhou Rong's escort, Bailiwei accompanied Zhou Rong to sit in the car.
Bailiwei thought about it again and again, but couldn't help but ask: "Lord, why do you say that the silk merchants are working so hard for the black-clothed man who assassinated you? I heard the informant say that each of them was injured in many places, and they must have the heart of death! What is their origin? Why will they help us!"
This is the moment before the start of the car, get the tip. Bailiwei and the general were shocked. There was also a fierce battle less than two miles from the inn. Ninety-three men in black died over there. Eighteen merchants died with them, and their two carts of silk were soaked in rain. ”
Eighteen against ninety-three, maybe more!
It can be seen that the real fierce battle last night was between the eighteen silk merchants and the men in black. (To be continued.) )
