Chapter 204: The Prince's Return Journey
From the wilderness to the grassland, a long procession is rapidly rushing into the dense forest, and people are gathering in the shade of the forest to stop and scatter to rest. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the carriage at the head, an anxious voice asked: "Have the spies in front been reported? How long will it take to get to the palace?"
The guards who had been guarding the side of the carriage immediately stepped forward to respond: "Back to the prince, the spies who have just returned to the palace have reported, the palace is now guarded by your old subordinate General Li Yuanzhen Li, from here forward, according to the speed of our march just now, we will arrive at the palace at night today, and after two days and two nights of non-stop travel, the prince can sleep peacefully today." ”
"Okay, it seems that the palace doesn't have to worry too much, let the soldiers quickly replenish their supplies, set off immediately, and return to the palace early, but I don't know what Mu Xi's situation is, haven't the spies who went to the palace come back yet?"
Jing Lu lifted the curtain of the door, leaned in front of the window and asked out.
"Back to the prince, the spies in the palace have not come back yet, the journey is a little farther, besides, the news in the palace is not as easy to investigate as the palace, let's hurry forward, perhaps, we will meet if we don't go far." ”
The guard handed over the water bladder and food bag in his hand, the prince raised his head, looked in the direction of the palace, only took the water bladder, opened the stopper, poured a few mouthfuls into his mouth, and handed it back indifferently.
Suddenly, not far away, a single horse was speeding in the direction of their team, judging from the clothes, it was not the prince's spies.
The soldiers in front of them immediately stood up vigilantly, drew their blades one after another, and waited for the other party to approach and see more clearly.
"Ershu, go and see who it is. Jing Lu commanded slightly.
The guard went in response, and the single rider was also speeding towards the carriage, and when he approached the front of the carriage, the man saw that Ershu and other soldiers would come forward to stop him, and he did not disobey, but tightened the reins steadily, stopped his horse and landed, and respectfully petitioned Ershu.
Ershu got the news and immediately rushed to the prince's car, "Prince, the person who came said to be from the palace, and there is important news for you." ”
Without thinking, Jing Lu immediately signaled to open the door curtain, moved his body and sat up forward, and waved his big hand, "Quickly bring it to the front of the car." ”
The person who came to the palace was dressed in the palace guard clothes, with a scarf on his head, and thin shoes on his feet, under a light outfit, his two eyes looked straight to the prince, and when he came to the car, he was unhurried, saluted slightly, and asked in a low voice:
"The slave greets the prince of Jinglu. ”
Jing Lu waited vigilantly and straightened up and looked at the past carefully, "You are the palace guard, what do you have to say?"
"Back to the prince, the servant came with news from the palace, but I don't know which aspect the prince wants to know most now. The guard looked up, not showing any fear, and asked calmly.
Jing Lu listened to the other party's tone, knowing that the person who came must not be as simple as a palace guard, he must have worn this dress to report the news in order to hide people's eyes, and he blurted out without thinking: "How is Mu Xi now?"
The fake guard seemed to be satisfied with a faint smile, and from that blink of an eye, there seemed to be autumn water turning over, Jing Lu whispered to Ershu who was standing beside him:
"Tell the people around you to stand down and ask her to come forward and speak. ”
Ershu understood, so that the cronies still guarded around the carriage, and the rest of the soldiers would disperse to rest.
"Slaves and maids, from Tongyun Palace. ”
Without waiting for Jing Lu to ask again, Shuangshuang had already introduced himself lightly.
Jinglu was overjoyed, and his whole body came out of the front of the car, and Ershu immediately stepped forward to help him carefully.
"Tell me, how is Xiaoxi? Is her health better? I heard that she was poisoned? How is it now?"
Both looked up and down at the body of King Jinglu, and finally stopped looking at his injured right leg, and asked rhetorically without changing his face:
"How is the prince's injury, but do you still have the strength to save Miss Yan?"
When Jing Lu heard Shuangshuang's tone, he knew that it was not good, so he immediately frowned, and with the support of Ershu, he moved closer to Shuangshuang and responded in a low voice:
"It's just a leg injury, and there is no worry about her life, let's talk quickly, is Mu Xi in trouble? Is it Khan who is embarrassed for her?"
Shuangshuang looked at Jing Lu's gaze a little lighter, nodded steadily, and responded softly:
"The day before yesterday, Prince Bei went to Tongyun Palace to rob Miss Yan to sleep, and after being stopped by the general manager of the time, Khan put Miss Yan in prison, and she was in a heavy flail, before I came out yesterday, I just went in to visit, the cell was cold, and there was no sunlight all day long, Miss Yan seemed to have signs of recurrence of old injuries, I was afraid that it was not good, so I came out overnight, and asked the prince to save it quickly. ”
"Prince Bei, this brute!" Jing Lu immediately filled his chest with anger, and the fist clenched 'gurgling', "He asked Hua Liu to bully my Jing Lu's head!"
"Why?!, that beast caused trouble, but punished the king's Xiao Xi?!! Khan is obviously deliberate, Mu Xi is right, as long as I get the battle merits, she will be in danger, but ......"
Jing Lu was furious, muttering to himself, Ershu helped him to hurry to the side of the car and sit down, his right leg was completely out of strength, and at this time, under the extreme depravity, he was even more unstable on his feet.
"Who sent you?" Jing Lu turned his mind and asked Xiang Shuangshuang, this maid in front of him, since he was from Tongyun Palace, must be someone who has been by Mu Xi's side.
Both saluted slightly, "The slave is the subordinate of the chief manager. ”
"Shi Yi?" Jing Lu was slightly surprised, and then recalled that the soldiers and horses sent to garrison outside the palace were actually his old department, presumably, someone deliberately arranged to take care of him, this person, can mobilize soldiers and horses, and can also arrange the chief guard in the palace, in today's palace, except for Xiao Wenli, there is no one else.
He didn't understand that he didn't have a relationship with Xiao Wenli, the former Xiao Wenli had always been the personal maid of the queen and the princess, it can be said that she was behind the scenes, and the prince himself was at the forefront of the battlefield, and there was no intersection.
"Is there a change in the court?" Jing Lu thought left and right, and asked softly, this is the only possible reason.
"Yes, the same prince has a poison brought from the mother's womb, I don't know how long it can last, the khan is now obsessed with wine all day long, many things, has to be handled by General Xiao, the day before yesterday, the khan has secretly promised the prince the power of the army, this next thing, the prince must be able to speculate. ”
Shuangshuang looked at Jinglu calmly and said seriously.
"What about Lei'er?" Jing Lu was startled again, and hurriedly asked.
"Prince Lei was imprisoned in the palace by the Khan, but also guarded by heavy soldiers, a few days ago Prince Lei cried and wanted to escape, but was caught, the Khan rewarded a beating, then he fell ill, Miss Yan dragged someone to send Fang Zi over, now, there is no news of the prince. ”
Shuangshuang's few words broke Jing Lu's heart to pieces, Mu Xi's old illness recurred in prison, Lei'er was imprisoned in the palace, he is now alone, what should I do.
After thinking about it, he looked at Shuangshuang calmly, and the other party looked back at him more calmly, from her eyes, the prince could see that the other party should come this time not only to report the news.
