Chapter 534: Mysterious "Assassin"
Outside the door, a group of people crowded and grabbed a slender guy dressed in black. Seven or eight long swords were scattered around the man's neck, and the cold light was bursting, as if the man would cut off his head as soon as he turned his head.
The man tucked himself into a tattered gray robe, but the black silk robe was exposed at his feet. His face was dirty, like a beggar, but the dagger he held was sharp and precious.
When Meng Wangwu saw the cat-like "assassin", his expression changed, and he hurriedly said, "Let go of her, and wait for you to retreat first." Go to the front hall and wait, and the manager will go over and explain the matter. By the way, the dagger was also lowered. ”
"Huh? Be. Everyone heard that he "didn't pay attention" to this guy who was very likely to be an assassin at first glance, but they didn't react for a long time.
walked out a few steps, and the little guy was unwilling to turn around and said, "Prime Minister, this person is very likely to be an assassin!" You have to be careful. When they heard this, they all turned to look at him.
That look was like looking at a person who had become stupid because of a brain injury.
However, the Prime Minister's Mansion has always been strictly ruled, and they just mustered up their strength, so they all knew how to leave. Everyone disappeared, Meng Wangwei hurriedly walked in front of the man, and before he could speak, the other party suddenly threw himself into his arms......
"Shhh
The person in his arms seemed to have noticed something, and hurriedly said in a thick nasal voice: "I'm sorry." As he spoke, he looked up in his arms, his eyes red like rabbits, but there was not a single tear.
This look made Meng Wang's heart instantly storm, and the two words Junyang swirled and collided in the internal organs, and finally blurted out: "Princess." ”
The person in front of him was Princess Junyang, whom he had been worried about. Meng Wangwu took her into the study, ordered someone to keep an eye on the movements around the Prime Minister's Mansion, and saw that she was wearing the clothes of a waiter, wearing a hat, and wrapped in coarse cloth and tattered gray clothes, he knew that her trip was not easy.
"Princess, you rest first. Then he went and called for water and food for bathing. Meng said after confirming that she was not injured.
However, Junyang stopped him: "No need. Listen to me first. I'm not that delicate. She had always been like this, and she would never call herself "Princess Ben" to him, this person was still the person she met by the river, at least, in Junyang's heart, she always thought so.
The days in the deep palace made her almost lose her brilliance, and what Junyang misses every day is the days in the mountains.
At that time, she always liked to secretly dig a pit in her spare time, and then trick him into falling in. There would be several days a month when he would play like this, and when Master was happy, he would laugh with her who was laughing with tears in her eyes and cramps in her stomach.
Only Meng Wangwu was left standing in the pit with fallen leaves and chicken feathers on his head.
If it weren't for these memories, she probably wouldn't have had the courage to avoid all the eyeliner and run calmly from the deep palace to the prime minister's mansion. Along the way, she tried her best to stick to the ground, not daring to use light work, for fear of attracting the attention of the patrol.
When she arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, she didn't even dare to jump in directly over the courtyard wall.
The Prime Minister's Mansion is surrounded by people, and the courtyard must be heavily guarded. She had to pretend to be a beggar huddled in an inconspicuous corner with a pile of grass, and then spent an hour digging a hole in the rain-soaked wall and burrowing in, covering the hole with hay by the way.
In the eyes of the watchers, there was nothing more than a beggar missing, and no one cared.
But if it weren't for the internal force, it would take her two days to dig this hole, but I was afraid that their people would have trapped the entire Prime Minister's Mansion by then. At present, the biggest obstacle has been removed, and the rest are the courtiers who are loyal to the Lu State.
"Then take a sip of tea and speak slowly." Meng Wuwu poured a bowl of tea and handed it over.
"Brother Forget Worries." That's how she called Meng Wangwu on the mountain before, although she hadn't heard this name again for many years, Meng Wangwu was still no stranger to it. However, he did not make a statement to correct the difference between the identities of the two as before, but just waited for her to follow.
Junyang held the tea bowl, stared at the turquoise tea soup, and said word by word: "I saw the truth, the person who killed my father and emperor was not a ghost valley swordsman. It's the Witch King himself! At that time, He Yunfei was next to him, and they watched their father die and struggle, as if they were watching a joke. ”
"Sure enough, it's them!" Meng Wangwei slammed his fist on the bookcase, shaking down several bundles of bamboo slips.
"Before they found out I had seen the truth, I went back to my palace. The Witch King immediately sent more men to surround my palace under the pretext of protecting my safety. However, they didn't know that I could do martial arts, and they sent some palace maids and attendants. I just took the opportunity to escape, and I should find out that I'm missing now, right?"
Junyang took a sip of tea, which was very bitter.
"I won't be a tool for them to turn the country of Lu into the Wuxian clan, but, Brother Forget Worry. Whether they find out that I'm missing or not, they'll definitely get you in trouble, so let's escape. She put the tea bowl down and looked at Meng Wangwu seriously.
He pressed his eyebrows, trying to nod but couldn't do it for a while. The Prime Minister's Mansion is in a crisis, he has expected it, but if it is unified today, the minions of the Wuxian clan can go anywhere. Where is the safe place to escape?
The situation was developing in the direction that Meng Wangwu had guessed when she heard the secret guard's report, and she would never be able to go back as soon as she came out.
Although Junyang is a princess who grew up in the mountains. But I have to say that her way of looking at the problem is not like Emperor Lu, but more like Meng Wangwu, and her courage to escape from the palace really surprised and delighted him.
If you were the princesses of those other countries, you would have cried into a ball of six gods and no owner, right? Next, it will become a tool for the Witch King to pocket the country of Lu.
But she didn't, not only was she not scared stupid, but she also directly understood the witch king's conspiracy and fled. Without a princess, and she is alive, the witch king will not be able to smoothly transfer the country into his own hands, and forcibly ascending the throne and becoming the emperor will become an excuse for those people in the ghost valley to attack.
The strength of the Lu State that unified the world was even greater than before, and it was far from being suppressed by the power of the Wuxian clan. Although they held the power of the army, they did not hold the hearts of the people.
The Witch King knows this better than anyone else. Therefore, the witch king will do everything possible to find Princess Junyang and let her marry his son smoothly. They themselves planned an "assassination" that aroused the anger of the public, hoping to use this momentum to destroy the recalcitrant Guigu forces in one fell swoop, and at the same time take the world into their pockets.
Kill two birds with one stone, and the calculation is good. It's a pity that they didn't count Junyang's martial arts, let alone that she would escape!
When it was dark, the subordinates of the Prime Minister's Mansion quietly dispersed. Under the thick night, the dark images ghostly approached the Prime Minister's Mansion.
