_Chapter 75: Party Strife
Hei Yichen led everyone to quietly avoid a group of patrols, and said in a low voice: "When I was in the Kunlong Empire, I asked the Blue-Eyed Sage for some Buddha's Hand Antidote Pill, which was dedicated to the poison of the Heart Devouring Pill. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Ning Er admired so much that he almost forgot the soldiers besieging him, and he exclaimed in a low voice, "The legendary Blue-Eyed Sage! Oh my God, that's a saint who can do almost anything! I heard that she never gets old, is it true, boss? Isn't it pretty? Wow, you're so happy! If Ning Er can see her, it will be a blessing from the cultivation of three lives......"
Legend has it that the blue-eyed sage was not only born with a pair of blue eyes, but also had an incomparable beauty that never grew old. Regardless of whether this legend is true or not, it is absolutely true that the Blue-Eyed Sage has always been Ning Er's dream lover.
The blue-eyed sage is indeed extraordinary, but it is said that he will never grow old, and Hei Yichen does not think so.
"Anything? Is there such a person in the world? Hei Yichen looked at Ning Er, who was intoxicated, and turned his head away in disgust.
Zhou Dong pushed Ning Er away, "Ning Er, are you really Er?" I can almost take my life while talking, it's really enough! ”
Zhou Dong took action to put down the two soldiers, glared at Ning Er with dissatisfaction, and then followed Hei Yichen out of the palace wall.
Ning Er smiled and did not refute. In fact, Zhou Dong just cares too much about him, not to mention just those two soldiers, even if there are ten more, he is not Ning Er's opponent, and he can't cut the scars even if he lets them cut them. Uh, it seems to be unconsciously bragging again......
While they were laughing and playing, they had come to an eerie wilderness. There is no grass here, there is a poisonous miasma and haze, and there is only a collapsed dry well, which shows the desolation and decadence of this area.
However, the notorious "deep well prison" was built under this, and the collapsed dry well was the entrance to this prison.
Shenjing Prison, as the name suggests, is a cave prison deep underground, not only because of the long time without seeing the light of day and the environment is extremely bad, but what is more terrifying is that the environment inside is extremely complex, full of traps; And there is only one exit, and there is a posture of "one husband is closed", which is an extremely dangerous place.
Hmph, want to rob the prison? Let's go in the next life!
After approaching the Shenjing Heavenly Prison and observing, Hei Yichen pressed Zhou Dong's shoulder and said, "The two of you pretend to rush into the Heavenly Prison to save people and lure away some of the jailers guarding the gate. Brother Lily and I sneaked in stealth to save people. King Rao's side will bring someone to answer soon. ”
Zhou Dong nodded, "Got it, boss!" ”
After taking a few steps, Hei also stopped abruptly and did not look back, "You have a deep hatred of blood, don't die!" ”
As before, the boss left the most difficult things to himself, and he was not worried about his brother's safety, so he would keep admonishing him, lest any brother be careless and careless, and be in crisis.
This kind of nagging and fragmented thoughts between relatives is so good!
Zhou Dong and Ning Er's eyes were wet, and they didn't care whether Hei Yichen saw it or not, and nodded heavily.
……
In the ancient palace of the Empire.
The imperial empress Jin Lingruo learned the news of the disappearance of her beloved daughter Jin Zhu a few days ago, and talked about "Li Benchu's grandson of the old horseman" all day long, and she simply gritted her teeth at Li Xiang, and she couldn't wait to eat his flesh to relieve her hatred.
Zhu Hu, the right prime minister, was happy when he heard it, and on the surface, he had to comfort Her Majesty the Empress softly; Secretly, he was also worried about himself: God help me, I am so happy to see that this political enemy is about to be unable to get along. If you can't be happy, will you hold back your internal injuries because of this? Hahaha! It's just coke!
Today, Jin Lingruo finally began to accept the fact that his beloved daughter was missing, no matter what, it is better to accept disappearance than death. After she finished handling the court affairs as usual, she left the right prime minister Zhu Hu and the military department Shangshu Zhongyou behind.
"Zhong Aiqing, is there any news from Li Benchu's old horseman?"
Zhong You bent down and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the minister just got the news from Prime Minister Zuo that he was under house arrest by the rebellious Li Xiang in the palace. The minister also heard that Prime Minister Li Cheng fell ill for some reason. At the moment, the Iron Eagle Army has no way to contact him and the rest of the officials. ”
"Hmph, that old man has raised a good grandson! It's really 'filial piety'. ”
Her Majesty's anger was filled with incomparable sarcasm, which made Zhu Hu almost laugh out loud, he held back and held back, and finally decided that it was safer not to say a word.
"Zhu Aiqing, what news do you have over there?"
Zhu Hu hurriedly bent down to hide the smile on the corner of his mouth, he coughed, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the minister just got a piece of news from the Phantom Pavilion today, which has yet to be confirmed, and the minister has ordered them to verify it as soon as possible. ”
Jin Lingruo has been in power for decades, and his majesty is slightly no less than that of any man, how can he not hear Zhu Hu's voice at this time.
Jin Lingruo said gently: "Zhu Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt to say it! ”
Zhu Hu looked respectful and said, "Minister, obey the order!" I just received a secret report that the members of the gangs who were stranded in the sheltered forest of King Rao's fiefdom and were preparing to intercept and kill the princess were attacked and more than 20 people died. Based on the composition of the gang members, the location of the victims, and other information, we have analyzed it and come to a conclusion: Maybe the princess should be safe for the time being. ”
Jin Lingruo was so excited that his jade cheeks flushed slightly, and his heart had already turned a hundred times, but there was no trace on the surface, just a soft "oh". This news is the best news she has received in the past few days, although she can't be sure that her beloved daughter is lucky, at least there is news related to her.
Zhu Hu hurriedly continued, "The information is not too detailed, but if you can make a move in the sheltered forest, you must not be a person from the Iron Eagle Army." Maybe it's Prime Minister Zuo's subordinates, or Hei Yichen, the princess or the princess of the county. Your Majesty, please rest assured, this news will be fully verified no later than tomorrow. ”
Jin Lingruo's hand that grasped her fist and hid it in the wide embroidered robe, but her face was detached, she bowed her head lightly, nodded approvingly, and said, "Zhu Aiqing, if the news is true, I will reward the group of 'hunters' who have learned the information." ”
"Hunter" is an intelligence agency under Zhu Hu.
Hearing Jin Lingruo's golden words, Zhu Hu hurriedly bent over and thanked him, "Minister, thank Your Majesty Long En on behalf of them!" The minister also learned that the Shadow Pavilion had ordered all the members of the fiefdom to sneak into the palace to respond, trying to rescue the princess and the Hei Yichen Pavilion Master. Judging from this news, Hei Yichen and the princess should not have an accident. ”
Jin Lingruo seemed to think about it for a while, and said with a smile: "This is also good news in bad news!" This is Qin Xiaomu's battle report, Aiqing, take a look. Now, the Iron Eagle Army is unable to enter the palace due to the disparity in strength, what is the opinion of the two Aiqing? ”
Although he asked like this, Jin Lingruo looked at Zhu Hu and seemed to be quite fond of his opinion.
At such a glance, Zhu Hu, an old eunuch who was well versed in power, couldn't calm down, and he felt the empress's dependence on him.
Zhu Hu judged the situation and thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Shangshu has always loved soldiers like sons, and often goes deep into the barracks to train with soldiers. As for the Iron Eagle Army, it has also been tempered on the battlefield, and it has long been unstoppable, and I think that this stalemate is only temporary. However, in order to ensure the safety of the princess and let the princess return to the empire as soon as possible, the minister thought that it was the right way to send a little more reinforcements, speed up the siege offensive, and rescue the princess as soon as possible. However, the minister is a layman, and at this time, it is up to Lord Shangshu to decide. ”
This Lord Shangshu must be talking about Zhong You.
Zhong You couldn't hear the meaning of co-optation in Zhu Hu's words, but he didn't respond immediately.
The military has always been in charge of Li Benchu, the prime minister of the left, if Li Benchu falls out of favor at this time, he Zhongyou can't wait to hug Zhu Hu's thigh, how can the wise empress not see through the mystery?!
Moreover, Zhong You, who was born in the military, is a little disdainful of it. Above the court, there has always been an inevitable party dispute, and he is good friends with Li Benchu, the prime minister of Zuo, but he has not been involved in any party dispute. Zhong Youmingzhe's practice of protecting himself won the favor of the empress, so his favor has not diminished for many years.
However, this also has a drawback, once Zhong You angers Her Majesty the Empress, he has no power to help him, and he becomes a loner. Therefore, Zhong You is not involved in party disputes, and the two sides are not close, but he tries to maintain a relatively balanced level of relationship between the two sides.
"I think this plan is feasible!" Zhong You replied lightly.
