Chapter 56: Traitor to the Palace
Xiao Yu thought about it, stepped forward and patted the coachman's shoulder, and the coachman turned his head to see an ordinary middle-aged man's face.
This is the person Xie Jingxiu specially instructed him to bring with him, and Xiao Yu trusts him.
Xiao Yu looked outside and said in a low voice, "Big brother coachman, is there something wrong?" I don't think that's right. ”
The coachman looked at him in some surprise, and then looked at the guards scattered outside.
"I don't know yet."
"Don't know?" Xiao Yu was a little puzzled. How could you not know?
The coachman paused, as if he didn't know where to start.
"The prince has his own plans, and we will wait and see what happens." The coachman glanced at him, "The task given to me by the prince is to protect Miss Feng, and I don't care about anything else." ”
Sure enough, this is the person Xie Jingxiu sent to protect him, and Xie Jingxiu already knew that something would happen.
The enemies of the Yuan Palace, that weight is not comparable to the Zheng family and the like. Xiao Yu sat back in the car and lowered the curtain.
In the thick fog, Hu Jin, the commander of the guards, drove his horse to catch up with Xie Jingxiu in a little panic, and said, "Shizi, it's not good, Miss Feng's carriage is gone." ”
Xie Jingxiu paused: "Gone?" ”
"yes!" Hu Jin looked frustrated and blamed himself, "The fog is too big, I have paid great attention to arranging people to patrol before and after, but I didn't expect to be exploited." ”
Erjiu looked at Xie Jingxiu and wondered, "Why did you hijack Miss Feng's carriage?!" Miss Feng clearly doesn't know anything. Could it be that you want to use Miss Feng to threaten the prince?! ”
The son of his family has never thought about any woman, and he will not delay his business for personal reasons. It's just that it's about Miss Feng, and Erjiu can't tell how the prince will act.
If he is really pinched for this, then the patriarch Wang Ye Weifu went to Wan'an Province to collect evidence from birth to death, and it will all be in vain.
Xie Jingxiu didn't pay attention to Erjiu, and just looked at Hu Jin with a pair of eyes.
"How does Commander Hu think we should respond?"
Hu Jin is a subordinate of the Yuan prince Xie Fu, this time he came to pick up the old prince, Xie Fu specially found him and asked him to bring Hu Jin.
Hu Jin is an old man who has served in the Yuan Wangfu for more than 20 years, and he has won Xie Fu's trust.
Xie Jingxiu did not disobey Xie Fu's intentions, and even handed over the protection to Hu Jin, and the 100-person guard was composed of elite guards selected by Hu Jin.
Xie Jingxiu didn't need to be suspicious, and he didn't ask a word from beginning to end.
Hu Jin pondered for a moment and then said: "The task of the subordinates is to protect the prince and the old prince, so the subordinates can divide two teams to find the big girl Feng, but the large army must stay with the prince and the old prince." The subordinates thought that the thief had robbed Miss Feng, and they should also want to take advantage of the thick fog to cover the sky and disperse our troops. We can't be fooled. ”
Xie Jingxiu's face has been faint, and at this time he only nodded to Hu Jin.
"Just follow what Commander Hu said."
Hu Jin responded, and went to assign people, but he also had some doubts in his heart. Didn't you say that the prince was moved by the big girl? Where does this look look like a heartbeat?
Hu Jin quickly ordered a team of twenty people and returned to Xie Jingxiu to reply.
He looked at Erjiu, thought for a while, and said, "Erjiu and Lao Qi are strong in martial arts, so the two of them will lead the team to find Miss Feng." Miss Feng was also very familiar with the two of them, and she was so frightened that she was frightened. ”
Of course, Erjiu was unwilling to leave Xie Jingxiu's side, he was Xie Jingxiu's personal guard, and even the Fengda girl couldn't cross Xie Jingxiu.
Xie Jingxiu said: "You and Lao Qi are sent by Hou Hu's command. ”
Erjiu and Lao Qi couldn't, so they could only take two squads into the dense fog and find people separately.
Hu Jin said to Xie Jingxiu: "Lord Shizi, let's wait in place." ”
A large group of men and horses slowly stopped, and the whole convoy was silent except for the occasional jet sound of the horses.
Hu Jin dismounted, stood beside Xie Jingxiu, and looked around vigilantly.
Xie Jingxiu's eyes looked at the misty mist, and his clear vision seemed to be able to penetrate the layers of obstacles.
"Everyone is here." Xie Jingxiu's eyelashes drooped slightly, and he slowly pulled down the leather gloves on his hands, as elegant as a god who does not eat fireworks in the world, and people couldn't help but want to surrender.
Hu Jin was slightly stunned: "What does the prince mean?" ”
Xie Jingxiu sighed slightly: "It's time to do it." ”
Hu Jin's face suddenly turned pale.
Xiao Yu opened his eyes suddenly, and his gaze became calm and clear.
He instructed Bai Ling to take good care of Fang's family, and he got out of the curtain and sat next to the coachman.
The tall coachman looked at the slender and slender figure sitting beside him, but Xiao Yu just looked at the few guards scattered around and didn't make a sound.
The coachman called out in confusion: "Miss Feng? ”
Xiao Yu looked at him, leaned over and whispered, "How long have we been waiting here?" Half an hour? An hour? No matter how big the fog is, you don't need to wait so long to find a place to settle down. ”
The coachman nodded. He naturally knew this truth, but his task was only to protect the safety of Miss Feng, and other factors were not considered at all.
Xiao Yu couldn't just take care of himself.
He guessed that Xie Jingxiu had come to pick up the old prince, and there should be other things to do. His own joining must have disrupted his plan, and Xiao Yu was worried that Xie Jingxiu would suffer because of it.
"Can you believe those guards?" Xiao Yu pointed to the several guards standing not far away who were surrounding the carriage in a circular arch.
They can be both guards and guards.
"Miss Feng, subordinate...... I really don't know, the prince only ordered me to protect your safety, and I can't ask about other things. The coachman was a little confused.
Xiao Yu was a little helpless, Xie Shizi seemed to be a bit machismo...... How confident is he in his abilities?
The coachman said: "It's just that there are too many variables in what the son of the world is planning, so you need to adapt to the situation." Rest assured, I can guarantee the safety of this car. ”
It's not about trying, it's okay.
Xie Shizi's subordinates are really as confident as him......
But what does it mean that there are too many variables? Could it be that even Xie Jingxiu himself didn't know which of the men he brought was credible and which were not?
Xiao Yu felt that it was very possible, otherwise he would have sent someone to protect him, and he would not have even told such basic information.
He also dared to bring out such a team, and there were as many as 100 people, which was really daring.
On the other side, Hu Jin bent the corners of his mouth and reluctantly pulled out a smile.
"My subordinates don't know what the son of the world means? I also hope that the prince will make it clear. ”
Xie Jingxiu smiled slightly, and a pair of hazel eyes looked at him. Through the mist of the mist, those eyes are even more transparent.
He knew, he must have seen through it early in the morning. Hu Jin's hand holding the handle of the knife was covered with a thin layer of sweat. He, a little master who is always taciturn, knows everything, but he has been acting with him.
"Commander Hu is the most trusted person by his father, and he is also the old man in front of his father. Fame and fortune, glory and wealth, everything is at your fingertips. I would like to ask Commander Hu, why? Xie Jingxiu's brows furrowed slightly, as if he was really a little puzzled.
There was no hatred or disgust in his clear eyes, as if Hu Jin's betrayal and calculation could not leave any mark on his heart.
Hu Jin raised his eyes and looked around, and the hundred guards who were waiting around him were all his henchmen. Xie Jingxiu was alone, he had already fallen into his encirclement, and he couldn't escape.
He used that Feng Da girl to easily transfer away the guards who were loyal to Xie Jingxiu. Now all those who remain are his people, except for the old man on the carriage of the patriarch and the prince.
He was sent by Yuan Wang Ye Xie Fu, and Xie Jingxiu had no reason to refuse. From the way he followed him to Huaiqian City, he was waiting for an opportunity to eradicate Xie Jingxiu, but he never found an opportunity. Several times he reluctantly started, but the people sent out were like drops falling into the sea, and they never saw a trace.
But Xie Jingxiu didn't seem to notice anything, and still trusted him.
thought that there was even more hope on the way back, Hu Jin had almost given up this operation, but he didn't expect that a big girl Feng would become the biggest variable.
The prince of the Yuan Wangfu, who has always been cold-hearted, would be moved by such a vulgar and talentless countryman who does not abide by the etiquette and law. Hu Jin had seen the Beijing ladies who were crazy for Xie Jingxiu, and he couldn't help but feel extremely ironic when he saw this scene. But, this is his best chance.
Xie Jingxiu is ruthless and unjust, so he is invulnerable. But when a man is moved, his flaws can no longer be hidden.
Hu Jin cautiously observed for several days, and finally took advantage of the foggy weather on this day to start his move.
The previous plan was very smooth, and in the next step, he only planned to use medicine to charm the patriarch and the prince, and this trap specially designed for Xie Jingxiu could be closed.
But I didn't expect to be recognized here.
Hu Jin slowly stepped back, and several guards stepped forward silently, standing beside Hu Jin in a demonstrative manner.
Xie Jingxiu didn't move, just watched him retreat behind the guards step by step.
"Commander Hu, you're old." Xie Jingxiu seemed to shake his head with some disappointment, "You are also starting to be greedy for life and afraid of death." ”
Hu Jin's face was distorted, revealing a hideous smile: "Lord Shizi, it's only you who blame you, you're too smart." Why don't you want to be stupid, stupid? In this way, it will not become a roadblock for others, and I hate to get rid of it quickly. ”
The smile on Xie Jingxiu's face faded, and the old prince suddenly got out of the car, shook off Lao Jiu's support, pointed at Hu Jin and said angrily: "Hu Jin, it turns out that you are a traitor to my Yuan Wangfu!" ”
Hu Jin said: "A traitor to the Yuan Wangfu? No, no, no, how could I be a traitor to the Yuan Palace. I will always be loyal to Lord Yuan! ”
"Xie Fu sent you?! Did Xie Fu let you deal with Shizi and me, an old man?! "The patriarch and the prince's face turned pale.
Hu Jin smiled and shook his head.
Xie Jingxiu patted the old prince's shoulder to show appeasement. Xie Fu is a person, all his energy is probably spent on women, and the reputation of the first love saint in the capital is still circulating, and he has no heart or ability to kill him.
Xie Fu's backyard is a mess, and only he is still immersed in his own deep affection and can't extricate himself. Xie Jingxiu has experienced the viciousness under the peaceful appearance since he was three years old.
"How dare my subordinates be disrespectful to the old prince. The subordinates only planned to let the old prince sleep. It's no wonder that the prince saw through my plan so early. Now that the old prince hasn't slept through, I can't help it. Hu Jin's face gradually turned cold, and he waved his hand and said, "Action!" ”
With a roaring sound, a feather arrow suddenly tore through the thick fog and pointed directly at Xie Jingxiu's heart.
Xiao Yu suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart, grabbed the placket of his clothes suddenly, and sat up stiffly.
Fang Shi was startled, and stepped forward and asked with concern, "Yu'er, what's wrong with you?" ”
Xiao Yu shook his head, and quickly opened the curtain to call the coachman.
The coachman hurriedly said, "Miss Feng, what do you command?" ”
Xiao Yu's brows furrowed tightly and he looked around. By this time, it was getting late, and there was no light in the sky, and the fog in the darkness seemed even thicker.
There was silence all around.
