614. into the city
Such a clichΓ©, the prince has already heard calluses in his ears, he walked back to the East Palace quickly, today is going to be done no matter what, even if his father really notices, he can't stop it, and he can't stop it today.
Success or failure is in this move, he doesn't want to think much about what will happen after the defeat, he doesn't allow this thing to fail!
Back in the East Palace, Ling Feng, the leader of the secret guard, had been waiting for a long time, this was the newly cultivated manpower he had cultivated after going to the Taimiao, in order to wait for this time today, as long as there were these people and the weapons in their hands, even the father would not be able to escape his calculations!
"Everything is ready," Ling Feng bowed to the crown prince and whispered in his ear, "The secret guard is ready to be dispatched by His Highness!" β
The prince's eyes narrowed, and he nodded slightly: "After the banquet tonight, do it, avoid irrelevant people, if you encounter any obstacles, you will be killed, and you don't have to pay attention to your identity." β
This is what it means for God to block and kill God and Buddha to block and kill Buddha.
Ling Feng lowered his head and smiled silently.
β¦β¦
There were still two hours before the start of the dinner, and the lights in Yunfu City at this time were full of lights.
Chinese New Year's Eve is always a day for family reunions, and there are few pedestrians on the street, so even the always lively Xiangze Street is sparsely populated at this time.
On the sparsely populated Xiangze Street, the old gentleman who wrote the Spring Festival pairs for others was cleaning up the stall, and the little grandson who followed him stepped on a stool to collect the pairs hanging on the high wooden frame one by one, folded them and put them on the table.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the little grandson twitched his nose and sneezed several times, and while rubbing his nose with his hand, he turned his head to look at his grandfather, and heard the crisp clatter of horses' hooves stepping on the stone road.
The little grandson hurriedly raised his head and looked over, his eyes suddenly widened, the joy on his face could not be concealed, he stood on the stool and almost jumped up, while pointing to the young man riding a white horse in a hurry, and said to his grandfather: "Grandpa... Grandpa, you see, it's a white horse, it's so white and fast! In the future, when I grow up, I will ride such a majestic horse! β
The old gentleman stroked his gray beard, smiled, and stroked his grandson's hair, "Okay, the good grandson will ride a white horse when he grows up." β
And those clear eyes flashed with a touch of surprise, the young man looked a little familiar, I don't know which rich and noble family's son-in-law actually went out of the city on the thirtieth day.
The young man on horseback was Jian Anli, and when he passed through the city, some of the soldiers guarding the city gate knew him, and greeted him with a smile: "Where is Jian Bagongzi?" β
Jian Anli replied with a gentle smile: "The same door of the Xishan camp lives on the outskirts of the city, and I will send him some New Year's goods," he said, pointing to the burden behind him, "He is the only one in his family and a few brothers, none of whom are married, and Li is worried that he will have a bad year, so he went to visit him." β
The soldier nodded and advised: "Then Jian Bagongzi please return to the city earlier, this Chinese New Year's Eve, the city gate should be closed earlier, you will come back late, I am afraid that you will be locked outside." β
Jian Anli smiled and thanked him, and pulled the horse's belly to the fastest speed.
After a short time, he rushed to Zhuangzi, knocked lightly on the door, knocked three times for three long and two short, and then someone carefully opened the door from the inside, and saw that it was Jian Anli, and hurriedly let him in.
Jian Anli untied his burden and asked Wei Qing, who opened the door for him, "Does the prince know the deployment in the city?" β
Wei Qing took the burden in his hand, walked quickly into Zhuangzi's inner room with him, and nodded: "Otherwise, I won't let Gongzi answer it." β
"That's good," Jian Anli said, "just now when I went out of the city, the soldiers guarding the city were so tight that they were about to be exposed." β
When they said this, they happened to step into the room, Chu Shaoyuan got up from his chair and looked at Jian Anli: "I had expected that since it was going to be successful, it was natural to surround Yunfu City like an iron bucket. β
In order not to startle the snake, he couldn't go into the city with such a swagger, so he compromised and thought of this method and took them into the city through Jian Anli.
Fortunately, the layout in the city has been completed, and the prince is there, he probably thinks that his deployment is seamless, but he doesn't know that his every move is under the control of his father, and he doesn't know where he gets his confidence, he actually thinks that he can bring down his father, if the Wei family has not lost power before, there is this possibility, and now that the Wei family has fallen, the prince does not even have a backer, it is really stupid.
Taking out the contents of the package and dressing it up, a few people took a dilapidated board car and swayed in the direction of Yunfu City.
The sky has been half dark, the face of the soldiers at the city gate faintly reveals a touch of joy, as long as the sky is dark, the city gate can be closed, and then go home for a reunion dinner, this is the most happy moment of the year, eating hot dumplings, some young people can also ask for the elders to send the New Year's money, a large family around talking, lively and festive.
Just as the city gate was about to close, a dilapidated cart staggered in, followed by a young man on a white horse.
"Eighth Master Jian, who are you?" The soldier stepped forward and asked in surprise.
Jian Anli arched his hand and said: "My friend's brother is seriously ill and has been bedridden at home for several days. β
The soldier looked down at the few people on the board car, and in the middle lay a man wrapped in a thick quilt, his face was pale and his eyes were blue, and he looked like he was seriously ill and had not recovered, and he didn't know what kind of illness he had.
He sighed and said: "Also, illness is a thing, it comes and goes quickly, if you ignore it, you are afraid that you will get into trouble, fortunately, Jian Bagongzi has a pair of wonderful hands, diagnosing and treating all diseases," said and asked people to open the city gate, "Then it will not delay Jian Bagongzi to heal people." β
Jian Anli smiled and thanked him, and the group walked towards the city.
Suddenly, I heard the person behind me shouting, "Wait a minute! The man in the straw hat, you turn your head. β
Jian Anli chuckled in his heart, he turned his head and looked at the soldier who spoke up, "But is there anything wrong?" β
The soldier had a mean face, sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, and he didn't look like a good person, he pointed at Chu Shaoyuan, and said sharply: "You, take off your straw hat, what are you doing to cover your face?" Is it afraid that people will recognize you? β
The people who traveled with him were very nervous, because among the three of them, Wei Qing pretended to be Jian Anli's friend, Shen Shuofeng pretended to be a patient, and only Chu Shaoyuan had to use a straw hat to cover his appearance because his appearance was too good, but he didn't expect to be seen by others.
Chu Shaoyuan slowly took off his straw hat, and slowly, he raised his head.
When the soldier saw Chu Shaoyuan's face, he was stunned suddenly, and only then reacted the next moment, and waved his hand in disgust: "You look like this, and you are blind in one eye, what are people like you doing in the city?" No, it freaked people out! β
Chu Shaoyuan hurriedly lowered his eyes, anxiously pinched the edge of his straw hat, and his voice sounded a little rough: "This ...... This official, I, my eldest brother, he and him, are seriously ill, and I ...... Picul... Worried about ......"
The soldiers were even more disgusted when they heard him speak.
Jian Anli hurriedly said on the side: "He was brought by Li, Lihui will settle people well, and it will not scare others, Lord Huang, please rest assured." β
This soldier known as Lord Huang was the small leader of the soldiers guarding the city, he heard Jian Anli pleading for Chu Shaoyuan, and drove people back because Jian Anli's identity was not good, so he had to tell them a few words without smiling and not letting people see his appearance, and then let them enter the city.
Chu Shaoyuan hurriedly put the straw hat back on, because the sky was slightly dark, so his moist and shiny hair did not make people notice that something was wrong, he lowered his head slightly, and there was a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth.
Even the city gate officials have the power of the prince, which is really interesting.
β¦β¦
Smoothly entered the city, and Chu Shaoyuan, who had rushed all the way, returned to Yuxiu Garden, counted the hours, felt that it was still early, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he returned to the secluded house.
Jin Se was dozing off in the room in a light secluded house, when she heard the curtain being opened, she woke up suddenly, and hurriedly raised her head to look over, and said in her mouth: Princess, you came back so early? As soon as she said the word "princess", she saw Chu Shaoyuan striding in, and her eyes widened.
"Lord Wang? Didn't you ...... "went to Fujian?"
Before Jin Se's question was finished, he was interrupted by Chu Shaoyuan: "Has the princess gone out?" β
He rushed back all the way, and didn't even say a word to Zhang Defu, the director of the outer courtyard, and went back to the inner courtyard, but he didn't expect Chanyi to be there.
Jin Se hurriedly said: "The princess was announced into the palace by the queen's mother, and the princess said that she would accompany the queen's mother in the palace tonight." β
Chu Shaoyuan was shocked in his heart, why did the queen suddenly announce Wanwan into the palace?
He knew that the prince was going to do it tonight, he set up the situation, and waited for the prince to fall in, but why did he arrive in the palace too late? Could it be that his traces were discovered by the prince?
Chu Shaoyuan suddenly became anxious, turned around and was about to enter the palace.
It just so happened that Wei Qing had freshened up and asked to see him outside.
Chu Shaoyuan hurriedly walked out and talked to Wei Qing about this, "The princess is always more dangerous in the palace, who would have thought what kind of things they would do?" No, I have to enter the palace now, otherwise it will be too late. β
Wei Qing stopped Chu Shaoyuan: "Wang Ye should not be anxious, generally there will be a dinner party in the Chinese New Year's Eve, fireworks will also be set off in the palace, the princess will not have an accident before the dinner, you entered the palace in advance, all the arrangements will be in vain, you have to think twice!" β
Chu Shaoyuan was concerned about it, he didn't expect a dinner party or anything, he just thought that the queen had always disliked her, and he was afraid that she would suffer from the queen.
He muttered: "Then when I enter the palace when the dinner begins, you must ensure the safety of the princess!" β
