Chapter 57: Dealing with the Traitors
"We can't sit still." Xiao Yu couldn't wait any longer.
Xie Jingxiu should have talked to him first if he had any plans, but he didn't say anything, and quietly arranged a qiē by himself, so that others could only move one step at a time according to his arrangement.
This kind of passive situation, Xiao Yu doesn't like it very much.
"This ......," the coachman hesitated, "the prince does not like others not to listen to his orders. He has arranged a plan that no one is allowed to disrupt ......"
He's still a perfectionist obsessive-compulsive disorder......
Xiao Yu was so angry that he had a headache. This is a matter of life, he thinks of himself as a chess player, treats everyone else as a chess piece, and puts them in the position he wants one by one. But the problem is that the enemy will not be at his mercy.
If there is any place that he does not calculate, it may be fatal negligence.
"Let's make sure those people are friends or foes." Xiao Yu pointed to the guards outside and said, "If it's a friend, it's naturally best, if it's an enemy, we can't be hostages here." In case the other party uses me to threaten Xie Jingxiu-"
The coachman thought for a moment and said, "Yes." Just controlling these people is not a violation of the order of the prince. ”
"You can handle so many people alone?" Xiao Yu looked at him in surprise when he said it so confidently.
The coachman shook his head: "No." ”
Without waiting for Xiao Yu to say anything, he suddenly raised his hand to his mouth and gave a sharp whistle.
"What are you doing?! Be quiet! The guard not far away was startled and came over to reprimand.
Before the two of them approached the car, ghostly figures suddenly appeared in the thick fog of the night, as if they had been discussed a long time ago, and each black shadow pounced on one of the guards.
Xiao Yu only heard a few very short shouts, and after a while, there was no sound again.
The coachman sat in the car and didn't move, turned around and smiled at Xiao Yu, who was a little stunned: "These are the guards that the prince arranged for me to command, and they are used to protect Miss Feng." ”
No wonder he is so confident, it turns out that the number of people is overwhelming......
"Why go with them in the first place when there are so many people available? I was trapped until it was dark in vain, and I didn't know what happened to the son. Xiao Yu couldn't help but say, in fact, he already had a vague answer in his heart.
The coachman shook his horsewhip and smiled: "The prince has ordered, Miss Feng's daughter, if you can, don't do it in front of you, lest you be frightened." ”
“…… Thank you so much to him. ”
The coachman said a little embarrassedly: "To put it abruptly, our prince has always been indifferent to others, and I have never seen the prince of the world care about other people like this." ”
Xiao Yu couldn't laugh or cry. Although everyone thinks of him as "Miss Feng", Xie Jingxiu is the most gentleman. If he was really a girl, he would definitely be very useful, but unfortunately he wasn't, he really couldn't face Xie Jingxiu if he continued like this, this guy's approach was too insensitive.
Maybe you should find an opportunity to confess your identity to Xie Jingxiu......
Xiao Yu put aside a section for the time being, and looked at the guards who were subdued on the ground. He jumped out of the carriage and walked over, and the coachman hurriedly followed.
"Who the hell are you?" Xiao Yu squatted down and asked one of them.
The joints of the man's arms seemed to have been removed, kneeling on the ground with his hands hanging weakly, raising his eyes to look at Xiao Yu, and said anxiously: "Miss Feng, we really don't know what's going on. We're just ordered to protect the girl! ”
Xiao Yu paused and turned his head to look at the coachman.
The coachman's eyes were helpless, and he couldn't distinguish the real from the fake.
Xiao Yu sighed. It's just that so many guards have come out into two camps, and they don't know whether they are friends or foes. "It seems that your palace is also a pool of muddy water...... Who would want to deal with a son destined to inherit the throne? It turned out that Xie Shizi's position was also a hot potato. Xiao Yu sighed, stood up and patted the snow on the corner of his clothes. No wonder Xie Jing has cultivated such a strange character, it must be due to the complicated growth environment.
The coachman was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect that the girl in front of him, who grew up in a small rich family, would be able to see through the problems of the Yuan Wangfu at a glance.
"The girl is really very knowledgeable." The coachman complimented.
"......" This is simply lice on the bald head, an obvious thing.
The coachman said, "No wonder the prince looks at the girl differently. ”
"Don't talk about that ......," Xiao Yu stopped a little weakly. He looked up, the environment around him was still quiet, and he didn't know how far away Xie Jingxiu's convoy was.
Although Xiao Yu was a little worried, he knew that he couldn't go back now. He was a car full of old and young women and children, and when he went back, he really caused chaos for Xie Jingxiu.
But you can't do nothing.
Xiao Yu looked at the crooked team of guards who were kneeling or lying on the ground, thought for a while, and said, "Put them all in a row, and I will try these people." ”
Xie Jingxiu seems to be dealing with traitors who have evil intentions in the palace guards, there are so many guards that even he himself can't tell which ones are loyal and which are traitors. What is the situation on Xie Jingxiu's side, Xiao Yu doesn't know for the time being, and can only believe that he can handle it. As for him here, there are more than a dozen guards here, and no one knows which one is a traitor, so he can help Xie Jingxiu distinguish between loyalty, treachery, good and evil.
The coachman bowed his head and said, "Miss Feng, the palace guards are all specially trained talents, and ordinary interrogation methods can't find anything. ”
Since they have been specially trained, haven't they been taught what loyalty is? Why did he betray Xie Jingxiu so easily? Xiao Yu slandered in his heart, but he didn't say it very shamefully.
He only thought that Xie Jingxiu was the future master of the Yuan Palace, but he didn't know that the current owner of the Yuan Palace, Xie Fu, the Yuan Palace, was still the Yuan Palace, so betraying a person who might not inherit the palace at all in the future was not a traitor to these guards.
Xiao Yu wrapped the cloak on his body and said, "It's okay, I'm measured, you just let them line up." By the way, there are ......" Xiao Yu whispered a few words to the coachman, and the coachman was a little puzzled, but he still obediently complied.
Xie Jingxiu's eyes looked at the feather arrows that came quickly, and his body didn't even move. But before the arrow blade approached, a cold light suddenly flashed from the oblique down, a sword split the feather arrow, and a gray figure seemed to appear out of thin air, blocking Xie Jingxiu's body.
The gray figure was dressed in the same outfit as the guard called by the coachman with a whistle.
Hu Jin, who was standing behind the guards, looked disappointed. If he could take his life by surprise, or even just hurt Xie Jingxiu, the possibility of him winning this battle would be greatly increased.
Now it's a missed opportunity. Hu Jin's face turned ruthless, and he waved his hand and said: "Give it all to me, kill the rebel son of the palace Xie Jing cultivator, and the master will be rewarded!" ”
Nearly a hundred guards responded in unison, raised their weapons one after another, and attacked at Xie Jingxiu, ignoring the swords slashed by those gray-clothed guards head-on, they didn't care about it at all, they just thought about taking Xie Jingxiu's life.
Xie Jingxiu took two steps back, and the thick fur coat on his body swayed slightly, and then hung down gracefully, half-covering the delicate leather boots embroidered with silver thread dragons on the black bottom......
The gray-clothed guards who poured out from all directions immediately surrounded Xie Jingxiu in front of him.
Hu Jin's hundreds of guards were originally attacking like a rainbow, but at this time, they suddenly suffocated, and the castration that was as sharp as a knife was interrupted. The gray-clad guards jumped into the fray and fought against the betrayers.
As early as when the patriarch Wang Ye saw those people attacking Xie Jingxiu in unison, and he hated to put him to death immediately, his face was already so angry that his face was blue and his eyes were red.
"I thought it would be Li Yonghui's thief who came to be this strongman, but I didn't expect that Li Yonghui was still honest, but this home-bred dog became a wild wolf and bit back!" The patriarch said hatefully.
When he was young, he was out and about, but in his later years, he was robbed of too much energy by the government and politics, and he never paid much attention to the situation in the Yuan Palace. In the past, he only thought that Xie Fu was incompetent, making the palace a miasma, and the back house was not harmonious.
He never expected that some wolf-hearted things in this palace would have such a deep hatred for his grandson, and the hatred could not be eliminated quickly!
Seeing that there are already more than 100 mutinous guards here, it can be seen that it has not been a day or two since those people secretly embezzled the power of the palace, and he is still in the dark.
He thought that his little grandson would not be wronged when he grew up in his palace, but he didn't expect that where was a home, it was clearly a Longtan tiger's den!
The year he left the palace and left the capital to travel, Jing Xiu was only three years old.
As long as the patriarch thought about it a little, he only felt that his heart was dripping with hatred.
Xie Jingxiu patted him on the shoulder soothingly, and his voice was as light as ever.
"Grandfather doesn't have to worry. There are more and more insects in the palace, and I am so annoyed that I want to catch them all and try to clean them all. Today's timing is right, grandfather just wants to watch the show. ”
A few steps in front of him, the battle was raging. A scream was wrapped in the thick fog, clumps of blood sprayed in the mottled snow, and a body turned into a dead body, with stumps and broken arms waving in midair.
The well-trained palace guards were still no match for the Grey Man, and this was an unfair duel with a huge disparity in power.
Hu Jin looked at the battle situation in front of him, and his face had turned blue and gray.
Is...... It was noisy and dirty, Xie Jingxiu frowned with some disgust.
The patriarch looked at Xie Jingxiu, held his cold hand in the palm of his hand, and rubbed it with some distress. There seemed to be a thousand words in his chest, but in the end, it only turned into a long sigh.
On the other side, the subdued guards had already lined up in two columns, kneeling ten steps away from Xiao Yu. Two other guards were escorted out and knelt in front of Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu walked to the center of everyone's sight, paced back and forth for two steps, and smiled: "I have a question now, I hope you knights can answer me honestly." ”
"Have you betrayed the Son?"
