Chapter 207: Blood Light
Realizing that this team of people was just someone sent by Li Chengqi to find him, Shen Yan couldn't help but sigh secretly: Chengqi, Chengqi, in order to find me, you made such a big move. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info It's just, do you really think that I can easily find what you want to find?
The leading general asked everyone in the inn, including the shopkeeper, to stand in the hall of the inn. And when he finished counting the number of people, he confronted the shopkeeper again, and found that there was one person missing, Shen Yan had already escaped from the inn. When the leader searched all the rooms again, he learned that the missing man had escaped by tying a rope through the window. He concluded that the person who escaped was the Empress of the West, but it was too late.
Shen Yan did not run away. When the group had left, she even followed them until they entered another inn. She waited patiently for them to gain nothing, and when they had gone, she entered the inn and checked in with peace of mind.
And because he was anxious to find Shen Yan's whereabouts, midnight was approaching, and Li Chengqi refused to go back to the palace. He was dressed in civilian clothes, and only let King Xian and Huo Qing, as well as a few guards, go back and forth, and I don't know how many times he walked back and forth on the several criss-crossing streets of the capital. His gaze is always alert to the movements around him, for fear that if he misses a small sound, he will miss the opportunity to get Shen Yan back.
He didn't know how to be tired, and he didn't know how to be cold. When all the streets were so quiet that it was almost dead silent, he finally stood still. His fists clenched showed his anger. He said to Shen Yan angrily again in his heart: As long as I find you, I will not spare you!
Nothing more resentful to him than knowing that she was pregnant with someone else's flesh and blood was that she fled immediately after. He thought he wouldn't forgive her this time. But he also swears. She must be found, and she must not be allowed to escape. Then he was happy with the man next to him.
"Your Majesty, it's late at night. Let's go back to the palace, right? "Li Chengqi and Xianwang and others are all good at kung fu, and they exercise a lot on weekdays, but Yuan Ji is just a eunuch, and after following the city of Beijing for a few hours, his legs are already very sore. Although he really felt sorry for his master, and hoped that his master could find Queen Xi smoothly, he pretended to be troublesome before going to bed, but he was really tired and couldn't walk. He just wanted to go back to the palace, soak in a hot bath, and then fall asleep.
"Your Majesty, it's not a way for you to look for it like this, it's better to go back to the palace earlier." Li Chengmao also persuaded Li Chengqi to come. He also said: "If the emperor can trust his minister, his brother is willing to continue to look for the Queen of the West." ”
Hearing this, Li Chengqi couldn't help but glance at him. But what flashed in his eyes was clearly a kind of distrust - how could he believe this man who had never changed his love for Yan'er? If he finds his Yan'er, I'm afraid he will hide his Yan'er. Then if you find an opportunity, take her away and fly high. He believes in anyone, and don't trust him.
"Your Majesty, the cold in the middle of the night is pressing, and the dragon body is important." Motoyoshi saw that King Xian gave a word of advice. After thinking about it, he proposed: "Your Majesty, you can leave this matter of finding the Queen of the West to the prince and General Huo." Why not? ”
His words reminded Li Chengqi. Let Huo Qing watch Li Chengmao continue to search for Shen Yan's whereabouts, he has nothing to worry about.
"That's fine." He sighed. Then he instructed Huo Qingdao: "General Huo, I will spare you and King Xian to help me find someone." He looked at him. Don't be meaningful, "Remember, no matter how big the matter, let people send the message to me in time." ”
Huo Qing knew that he was at ease with King Xian, so he quickly nodded in response. He once told a lie to Li Chengqi because of his kindness to Shen Yan for saving his life. This lie has always filled his heart with self-blame. He is brainless, and he will always make himself double because of this self-blame, and for this reason, he will never do anything against Li Chengqi in the future. In fact, this is exactly what Li Chengqi knows, but he has never broken it. He saw Huo Qing's self-blame, so he was unguarded against him, and even trusted him even more.
And in any case, Li Chengqi's willingness to return to the palace made Yuanji breathe a sigh of relief. Soon, he asked the sedan chair man to carry the sedan chair behind Li Chengqi, and after inviting him into the sedan chair, he walked in the direction of the palace with joy in his heart.
Seeing Li Chengqi away, Li Chengmao's eyes fell on Huo Qing. He asked him, "I heard that Empress Xi could have avoided this catastrophe, but it was you who intercepted Imperial Doctor Wu from the people she sent, so there are many things that happened after that." ”
"In my life, I am only loyal to the emperor." Huo Qing raised his chin slightly, leaned sideways, and his gaze fell firmly into the distance.
"Do you know how Empress Xi took good care of your injuries that night in the Hou Mansion?" Li Chengmao's gentle voice couldn't help but raise a little when he saw the smelly and hard stone in front of him. However, he didn't want to think about the situation that night, let alone mention it again, he only solemnly told him: "If there is no Queen of the West that night, you will definitely die." ”
Huo Qing was a little unfair when he heard this: "The grace of the Queen of the West to save her life, I have already paid it off in the Nanzhao period." Does the prince still want me to do something? ”
"How can the grace of saving lives be repaid in one go?" Li Chengmao said, "You were rescued by Emperor Wen of the previous dynasty when you were young, so you are heartfelt, you were saved by the Queen of the West before, and you don't repay the favor, but the grace will ......take revenge."
"The prince is going to persecute me!" Huo Qing interrupted him and said unconvinced, "I didn't do anything to be sorry for the mother, I was sorry for the emperor, I just acted on orders." With that, he strode out, ignoring Li Chengmao.
Looking at his back as he walked away reflexively, Li Chengmao hooked the corners of his lips and smiled. Only then did he understand that Huo Qing was not a stinky and hard stone, and after he preached like this, did he still do the right thing?
Huo Qing's departure gave Li Chengmao the opportunity to act freely. Huo Qing may have thought so: If King Xian can find Queen Xi and help her, he will not have revenge.
Of course, he was full of contradictions. On the one hand, he didn't want King Xian to find Queen Xi, let alone King Xian to help Queen Xi escape, on the other hand, he didn't want Queen Xi to be caught, and then in the palace, she would be spurned, and even never be forgiven by the emperor, and then slowly grow old.
He didn't know what to do. As he strode down the empty streets, he didn't know what he should do at the moment. And just when he was worried in his heart, he heard the sound of ice blades clashing around the corner of the front street. He hurriedly turned into a long shadow and ran quickly.
Before he got closer, he was shocked to find that it was a group of people in black who stopped the emperor's sedan chair.
The few guards are desperately trying to protect the master. Huo Qing did not hesitate and quickly joined the fight. From the point of view of physical skills, Huo Qing found that these black-clothed men were well-trained, and they could not completely retreat with three or two strokes, so he ordered the emperor's guards: "You take the emperor first!" ”
However, Li Chengqi walked out of the sedan chair and faced these black-clothed men with great backgrounds: "I want to see how capable you are, and you can hurt me." ”
"Your Majesty, be careful of hidden arrows!" Huo Qing shouted and asked him to go back to the sedan chair.
Li Chengqi didn't listen and insisted on standing in a dangerous place. Huo Qing even found that his kung fu was obviously not low, but when the man in black attacked him, he did not avoid it at all.
"The Emperor......" No matter how great Huo Qing's ability is, he can't stop so many imposing bad people. Li Chengqi was soon stabbed in the chest by the sharp blade of a man in black, which frightened everyone, and even more so Yuan Ji. Yuanji shouted, already panicked.
Huo Qing stretched out his hand and used all his strength to break the blade that had pierced Li Chengqi's chest. He ordered the other guards to quickly escort the emperor back to the palace.
The thrilling night soon calmed down. When Li Chengqi was carried back to the palace, he was already unconscious.
Early the next morning, the emperor's assassination outside the palace went unnoticed. On the streets and alleys, there is no longer a rumor about this matter, and it is Shen Yan who also heard the news.
The people all said: The emperor was assassinated and his injuries were serious, and even the most capable doctor in the Tai Hospital was weak. Shen Yan originally didn't believe it. She thought that this was a little trick directed and acted by Li Chengqi who wanted to trick her into the net. However, she didn't overhear anyone say that he had seen the fight last night, and she began to hesitate in her heart. Some people even said that the blood on the corner of the street last night had turned into ice, and it had not yet melted, and she even ran to see it. Seeing those blood stains, her heart suddenly weighed a thousand pounds.
Li Chengqi was really assassinated, is his life on the line?
"The emperor is a good emperor, but he can't just go like this."
"It's only been less than a year, in this world, is it really going to change the master again?"
Rumors are rife. Shen Yan looked at many people and felt that the expressions on their faces were not as relaxed as yesterday. The lively streets of yesterday have also become a little deserted. It wasn't until the men and horses of Prince Ying's Mansion and the Shangshu Mansion of the Military Department ran out of horseshoe prints on the street that the desertion on the street was replaced by panic again and again.
"When the emperor fought the country, it was also so chaotic. It seems that the world is really going to change hands, but I don't know who will be our emperor next? ”
"It must be the Great Prince."
"The eldest prince is young, in my opinion, the position of emperor should be the virtuous king."
Listening to the careful discussions of the people behind their backs, and watching the actions of powerful people in dispatching troops, Shen Yan finally believed it. And at the moment when she chose to believe, her heart suddenly became empty. Is Lee Seung-ki really going to die? He was robbed by this because he was looking for her...... In any case, she decided to return to the palace.
And just as she was about to reach the palace gate, a girl of thirteen or fourteen stopped her.
"You're the Queen of the West, aren't you?" The girl asked with a smile on her face.
Shen Yan was shocked that this girl looked very much like a person she knew, but she couldn't remember who that person was.
"Don't you know me? I'm a winning streak. ”
Winstreak? Yes, he's a winning streak! I haven't seen him for nearly a year, but he has grown up and his appearance has changed. But Lian Ying is a boy, how to comb the girl's hair in a bun and wear the girl's clothes? (To be continued.) )
