546.Chapter 546 - The Hand of Fighting
Meng Xin glanced at him, shook his head without hesitation, and said resolutely, "You guys, wait here." ”
In terms of martial arts, neither of these two can compare to him. In terms of reaction mechanism, he asked himself that with his age and experience, he was better than these two.
That being the case, how could he possibly let these two go.
In addition to cherishing his subordinates, Meng Xin was also worried that these two people would startle the snake if they came together. When there is any accident with the prince, they will not be able to cut off even a few more heads.
The other two watched him rise and fall a few times, and his figure disappeared into the vast mountains. glanced at each other nervously, and could only silently stay in place.
Perhaps Yingyue Villa is a very ordinary civilian house, except for a few sweeping servants, there are only a few symbolic guards.
Seeing such a loose defense, Meng Xin believed a little at this time the statements made by his subordinates from reconnaissance before.
If the master was really here, and said nothing else, it would not be possible for these servants to be so lazy and lazy.
Thinking of this, Meng Xin's head was inexplicably relieved. But then the question arose, if the owner of Yingyue Mountain Villa was not here, then what did the prince sneak here for
Unable to guess this confusing situation, Meng Xin's mood that had just relaxed a little immediately became nervous again.
Because he was uncertain, he became more and more cautious when he touched the news incognito.
After thinking about it for a while, he decided to go to the stable where the horses were fed first.
Since the prince quietly got out of the imperial temple and came out to Yingyue Villa, according to the itinerary, he should have ridden out of the city. As long as the prince is still in this villa, his mount will naturally not go far. And, in order to prevent others from seeing, the prince's mount was most likely tethered to the stable.
With an idea, Monshin immediately crept to the stable.
There was naturally more than one horse in the stable, but it was easy to confirm that the prince's mount was not here.
But all official horses, from the body of the horse to a tool, are all branded with special marks.
Mengxin, as the commander of the forbidden army, has no reason not to recognize the imprint of the crown prince's mount in the East Palace.
In order not to cause the stable to be restless, Meng Xin did not go closer, but chose a few angles nearby to confirm it from a distance.
"Sure enough, so."
Muttering in a low voice, Meng Xin breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.
However, after visiting the stables, he did not immediately turn back and leave.
Since it was determined that the prince's mount was properly tethered to the stable, it proved that the prince had not been held hostage. On the contrary, there is a possibility, that is, to leave aside the eyes and ears to come here and plot secrets with others.
The forbidden army is the strength directly under the Chu Emperor, and the commander of the forbidden army is a person who is absolutely loyal to the Chu Emperor.
He thought for a moment, and then quietly looked around the villa.
Since the prince chose to come here to discuss secret affairs with others, and no matter who the prince discussed with what matters, at least he could be sure of one thing, that is, this Yingyue Villa was by no means as simple as an ordinary civilian house as it seemed on the outside.
Although he wasn't sure what he would find in this villa at the moment, he had a vague thought tugging at him.
As the commander of the forbidden army, Mengxin is not only strong in martial arts, but also first-class in mind and mobility.
He quietly investigated in this Yingyue Villa, originally intending to find out the whereabouts of the prince.
However, the hourglass decreased little by little, and he stepped step by step in the Moon Villa, and did not find the whereabouts of the prince, but made a surprising discovery in a hidden place that looked ordinary on the outside and was actually a huge cave structure on the inside.
After exploring around, Meng Xin was basically sure that the prince should still be stranded in Yingyue Villa. The reason why he didn't find any trace of the prince was probably that he should have had a secret discussion with someone in a place like a secret room.
In order not to startle the snake, and in order to report the unexpected discovery he had unintentionally discovered, Meng Xin thought solemnly for a while, and then quietly retreated to the distant mountains and forests.
Yingyue Villa is only more than 30 miles away from the capital, and if you hurry up, you can arrive from the capital in a little more than half an hour.
When Meng Xin returned to the mountain forest from the villa, Zhao Wen, who had entered the palace from the imperial temple to report before, had already chased after him.
As soon as Meng Xin met, he immediately asked with a solemn expression, "Zhao Wen, how many people have you brought here?"
Here, Meng Xin was worried about his unintentional discovery in Yingyue Villa, and in General Li's mansion, Li Donghai was also worried about the news he suddenly received.
"Second brother, hey, why don't you understand the truth that this time is different from the past, what is the courage to fight with others at this time." Li Donghai was in the hall, holding a small note and frowning and sighing.
A little helplessly complained, thought for a while, but did not hesitate to order, "Li Fu, you bring some medicinal herbs, well, you have to bring another doctor out of the city immediately." ”
Li Fu was an orphan who was rescued by Li Donghai when he almost starved to death when he was a child, and has stayed by Li Donghai's side ever since. is one of Li Donghai's trusted confidants, and the matter he confesses to is very important at the moment, so he can only rest assured when he sends his confidants.
"General, what medicinal herbs do I want to bring" Because he has a serious face all the year round, even if he is not very old, Li Fu is also very difficult to get close to, "Also, where to go out of the city"
Li Donghai listened to his inquiry, thought for a while, and then changed his mind.
"Forget it, you ask someone to find a reliable doctor, and I'll go out of the city myself." The note said that the second brother was seriously injured, and this time could not be delayed.
Moreover, if he doesn't go in person, I'm afraid that no one will be able to persuade the second brother.
It's not that Li Donghai doesn't trust Li Fu, but the things mentioned on the note, the less one person knows, the safety of the second brother is one point higher.
He couldn't take any chances.
When Li Fu saw that he had changed his mind, he did not show any shock or sadness. only glanced at Li Donghai with some concern, and then fell silent.
"Then the general wait a moment, I'll go to the doctor right away."
Li Donghai waved his hand and motioned for him to hurry up. Li Fu saw that his expression was solemn, and he didn't say much and turned around and walked out of the hall directly.
Li Donghai was left alone to pace around the hall, walked for a while, thought about it for a while, and still felt troubled and panicked.
He walked over to the table and sat down, picked up the note and looked at it carefully.
This is a secret channel for delivering messages, and messages should be trusted. But what kind of conflict did the second brother have with whom?
Li Donghai pinched his brows and crumpled the note in distraught. After thinking about it, he burned the note on the nearest fire.
Unfortunately, the message delivered by the note was limited, and he could only feel at ease if he went there in person.
After a while, Li Fu went and returned.
"General, it's ready, you can go at any time."
Li Donghai didn't hesitate, stood up and looked at him, and said solemnly, "I have an urgent need to go out of the city, and when I'm not in the house, you have to watch it for me." ”
Seeing his solemn expression, Li Fu didn't dare to take it lightly, so he also said very seriously, "Don't worry, general, I will definitely take a good look at the general's mansion and wait for you to come back." ”
Li Donghai didn't say much, picked up the robe hanging on the wall, put it on his body, and immediately strode out.
As soon as he got into the carriage, he hurriedly ordered, "Hurry up, I have something urgent." ”
In order to rush as fast as possible, the coachman almost exhausted himself and whipped all the way without stopping. The sound of "popping" whipping sounded on the sparsely populated alleyway, but Li Donghai felt that he was becoming more and more restless.
"It's the carriage of General Li's mansion in front" Just when Li Donghai asked people to drive the carriage at a galloping speed, someone was chasing from behind on a fast horse, and they raised their voices to inquire from a distance.
It's a pity that Li Donghai was worried at this time, and the coachman only cared about concentrating on the front of the road, and no one paid attention to this inquiry.
In the blink of an eye, the carriage was far away, and when it saw the alleyway, it was about to turn a corner.
The man galloping behind was in a hurry, and after thinking about it, he did not continue to passively chase from behind, but beat his horse and crossed the crossway.
After about another cup of tea, the man who was chasing after him finally got out of the alley with twists and turns and grabbed ahead of Li Donghai.
"Park, park."
The coachman could not stop even if he did not stop, and the man was in the middle of the road unless the coachman let the carriage run directly into it.
Li Donghai was in a hurry to get out of the city, and when he heard an unfamiliar shouting, his heart sank for a while, so he directly lifted the curtain and poked his head out, "Who are you blocking the road and stopping the car?"
The man saw his gloomy and forbearant face, and shrunk his neck in fear, but remembering the burden on his shoulders, he had to pretend to be serious and pat the horse to the carriage.
"You are General Li Donghai of General Li's Mansion"
Li Donghai frowned and glanced at the unfamiliar face standing on the horse, "Who are you?"
He did not answer the rhetorical question, which in itself was tantamount to an indirect acknowledgment of his identity.
The man was immediately overjoyed, relieved and hurriedly said, "General Li, it doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that I came to give you a message on the order of the queen's mother." ”
"Niangniang" Li Donghai was obviously surprised, "She has something urgent to explain"
He actually ordered someone to ride after him
"Niangniang ordered, no matter what news the general receives today, don't leave the General's Mansion and go anywhere alone."
Li Donghai's heart suddenly tightened, these words were too targeted, and he had to immediately remember the news he had received before.
The news was urgent, and he hurried out of the city.
But how did Niangniang guess that he would go out of the city alone
The news was deliberately forged to lead him out of the city, and the news channel was very secret and safe, and he didn't believe that the news was fake.
Between the lightning bolts, the thought turned a few times, and Li Donghai patiently glanced at the man again, "What do you have to prove your identity?"
The man patted his head and muttered in annoyance, "Hey, it's all because I'm in such a hurry that I forgot about this thing." ”
After saying that, he immediately took out something from his arms and handed it to Li Donghai.
Li Donghai took a look, and his heart tensed.
That is the unique token of Fengqi Palace, or the kind held by the queen herself.
This shows that there should be nothing suspicious about the identity of the person in front of him. However, the man's words made him doubtful
