Chapter 149: Discovering that Yexi is the Fake King of Shu (Part I) (6000+)
It's the voice of the King of Shu!
Hearing the sound of feet stepping on the tiles outside the carriage, Lan Qingcheng subconsciously didn't dare to move, and then, those people stopped in front of the carriage.
Tao drove the carriage to stop Feng.
"You don't see whose carriage this is, and you dare to stop it?" Tao pointed at the four people who stopped in front of the horse and scolded them angrily.
"We're chasing someone, and we're missing here, are we hiding in your carriage?" One of them boldly questioned.
"Nope!"
"You say no, do we believe it? Open the curtains, let's go in and search! "The four of them did not give up.
"You are so bold, the carriage of the King of Shu can also be stopped by you?" Tao stood up unhappily.
In the moonlight, Tao's face was revealed in front of everyone's eyes, and two of them recognized Tao's face, and the two immediately alerted the other two accomplices.
The person who spoke at the beginning softened his tone a lot, and said with a smile: "It's me who has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, it turns out to be the carriage of His Royal Highness the King of Shu, which is rude." ”
With that, the man left with the other three.
That's right, they didn't continue to pester, but left directly, as if they had just appeared out of nowhere.
Lan Qingcheng broke free from Yexi's arms in surprise, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and looked in the direction where the four people had just left.
Would they be so kind as to give up the chance to kill Yexi and leave? I always feel that things are not so simple.
"How did you end up here?" Lan Qingcheng still remembered the hands that poked out of the carriage just now, if it weren't for her good heart, she would really be frightened.
"And how did you end up here?" Yexi smiled and didn't answer the rhetorical question.
"Looks like I asked you first, right?"
"If you say why you are here, this king will tell you why this king is here!"
Well, he won.
He didn't want to say it, she didn't want to hear it yet.
Ah, suddenly remembered what she had just heard at the mouth of the alley.
"By the way, just now I heard them discussing there, saying that they were going to kill you, and they ......" Before Lan Qingcheng finished speaking, the carriage suddenly jolted violently.
Lan Qingcheng, who was sitting in his place, was turned upside down, and his body was dangerously tilted to the side.
Seeing that her head was about to hit the wall of the carriage, a pair of arms reached out in time to pull her back into a warm embrace, one arm tightly wrapped around her waist, and the other hand pressed the back of her head, and pressed her whole body in front of him.
"Tao, what's going on?" Nightshade asked.
"Lord Wang, there are suddenly a lot of stones on the ground, and besides, there seems to be a bit of a problem with the wheels of the carriage!" Tao immediately responded.
Lan Qingcheng's eyes widened, and his head was moving rapidly.
The mysterious killer who tracked her, the sudden appearance of stones, and the fact that there was a problem with the wheels of the carriage, it was easy to guess what the problem was.
"We're going to get out of this carriage right now!" Lan Qingcheng anxiously reminded Yexi.
"There's no hurry!" Compared with Lan Qingcheng's panic, Ye Xi said it unhurriedly, and the words she said seemed to be coaxing people to sleep.
He's not in a hurry yet!
Lan Qingcheng was thinking about how to escape, the whole carriage 'boom', suddenly caught up, with the neighing of the horse, the sound of the horse's hooves stepped away, the horse painting lost its balance, and the carriage was surrounded by a sea of fire in an instant.
More than a dozen killers who were lying in ambush watched as the carriage was trapped in the flames, but no one in the carriage escaped.
Those killers thought that such a big fire, Yexi and they must have been buried in the sea of fire before they escaped, so they swaggered out, standing around the carriage and looking at the sky-high fire, the flames reflected on their faces, reflecting a smug smile.
However, this pride did not last long.
Suddenly, the carriage made a piercing 'whoosh' sound, and after that sound, the three people walked out of the fire without hurrying.
At the forefront was Tao, followed by Ye Xi holding Lan Qingcheng.
Because she had been in the fire for too long, Lan Qingcheng was so stuffy that she almost fainted, and she could only be held by Ye Xi.
There seemed to be flames burning on their bodies, which made those killers retreat in fear one by one, and none of them dared to step forward again.
Finally getting out of the fire, Lan Qingcheng smelled the fresh air on the tip of his nose and couldn't help but gulp
Breathing.
"Tao, leave a living mouth!" Yexi gave a cold order.
"Yes!"
A silver light flashed, the long sword in Tao's hand was unsheathed, and the agile figure rushed quickly to the surroundings, the killers were in chaos because of the fright just now, and Tao quickly destroyed half of the killers.
Two people saw Ye Xi holding Lan Qingcheng, who happened to have their backs to them.
They took the opportunity to swing their swords and stab Nightlight in the back.
At the moment when their sword was about to stab Ye Xi, Ye Xi suddenly held Lan Qingcheng and dodged to the side, his body moved quickly, and one flew across their necks.
The two people who were still attacking Yexi were motionless, and the next second, the two of them fell, and their heads rolled to the ground and rolled into the fire, and their heads rattled in the fire, emitting a pungent smell.
With a sword stabbed into the heart of a killer, there was only one person left in the end.
The man saw that he was the only one left, and turned away in fear.
Tao's sword almost followed his neck.
The flames that soared into the sky reflected the scarlet blood on the Tao Sword, and the man's frightened face turned pale in an instant.
"Spare your life, this hero spare your life!"
"Say, Who sent you?" Tao asked coldly.
"I ...... I just took the money, killed people for the employer, and I don't know anything else! ”
"Who is your employer?"
"I ...... We don't know, I'm just doing what I'm told and begging the hero to spare my life! ”
"Honestly, if you don't say anything, I'll cut off your head!" Tao asked.
The man opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but suddenly foaming at the mouth, the man's eyes widened in horror, and he pulled the corners of Tao's pants hard, and his whole body began to convulse, and after convulsions for a while, his body straightened all of a sudden, and his eyes widened and he didn't move.
Tao frowned and looked down.
On the other side, Lan Qingcheng, whose body had recovered, jumped out of Ye Xi's arms, and the two walked side by side.
"Did he tell me who was behind it?" Ye Xi's tone was faint, as if she didn't care about it at all.
"Nope!" Tao looked at it carefully and got up: "Moreover, they were fed the poison of regular attacks in advance, even if we don't kill them, they won't survive!" ”
Lan Qingcheng couldn't bear to look over.
Such a tragic method of killing was too miserable, and her stomach churned when she thought of the picture of her two heads rolling into the fire just now.
"Leave it to the government to investigate." Yexi put her hands behind her back and walked slowly on the road.
"Yes!"
"Where are you going?" Lan Qingcheng carefully avoided the corpses and blood on the ground, and followed behind Ye Xi.
"Go home."
Lan Qingcheng hesitated, but still followed behind him.
I don't know why, as long as she is with the King of Shu, she thinks of Yexi, is it because his figure is too similar to Yexi? That's why she always sees him thinking of Yexi?
She secretly looked at the back of the King of Shu, and during a peek, he suddenly turned his face and collided with her line of sight.
Lan Qingcheng, who was arrested, avoided his gaze unhurriedly.
He chuckled lowly.
"If this king's feeling is right, was the jade princess peeping at this king just now?"
"You feel wrong." Lan Qingcheng gritted her teeth and retorted, she would never admit that she was spying on him, and the person she wanted to see would not be him.
"If the jade princess wants to see it, you can look at it generously, this king is not so careful!"
The more he talked, the more confident he became, and he said that she wasn't spying on him.
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu, don't worry, in this world, even if there is only one man left, I will definitely not peep at you!" Lan Qingcheng sneered.
"Why? This king thinks that his appearance is not bad, although you have not seen the true face of this king, but you have always seen this king's father and royal brother and royal brother. ”
"No matter how good-looking you are, you can't compare to him!" Lan Qingcheng suddenly looked up at the starry sky, and a fairy-like handsome face seemed to appear in the starry sky, as well as a gentle smile that could only be revealed to her.
Ye Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, looking at Lan Qingcheng's movements with some surprise, the softness that suddenly appeared in her eyes was because of a certain man, right? That one...... she
A man in love.
Suddenly...... I was a little jealous of that man who could leave such a deep mark on her heart.
Next, Lan Qingcheng didn't pay any attention to Ye Xi, and while talking, the two of them returned to the Shu Wangfu and the Lan Mansion respectively.
※
When Yexi returned to the palace, Heiyin greeted him, and found that Tao did not follow, and Yexi still had a burning smell on her body, and immediately understood that Yexi must have been in distress on the road.
"Lord, did something happen on the road?" Heiyin asked him nervously.
"It's okay, I've got a whole body of ashes, this king goes to bathe, don't let anyone disturb this king!" Nightshade felt uncomfortable when she smelled herself.
"Yes, Lord Wang!" Heiyin said respectfully.
Ye Xi went to his room to take a bath, Hei Yin's heart was still a little worried, and suddenly he felt two eyes behind him looking at his back, he suddenly turned around and looked behind him, but there was no figure behind him.
Tonight, the moon and stars were scarce, Heiyin saw that there was no one around, and it was late at night, he quietly followed a deserted path to a dilapidated house in the backyard of the palace.
There are usually no people here, and it is overgrown with weeds.
When he arrived at the house, Heiyin took out the fire fold from his bosom and lit a dim oil lamp in the ruined house.
Oil lamps illuminate the dilapidated landscape of the house.
He didn't notice that a man had secretly followed him and followed him to the house.
I saw that in the broken house, Hei Yin took out a bag from a corner of the broken house, put the burden on the dusty table and opened it, revealing a white porcelain ash altar and a tablet!
Heiyin carefully wiped the tablet with his sleeve.
According to the light, the people outside the door clearly saw that the tablet was engraved with seven words: the position of Ning Yan'an, the king of Shu.
Heiyin held the tablet, his eyes were slightly red, and the days when he was dependent on the King of Shu in the past came to mind, but he was no longer there.
On the first night of their journey from Liucheng to the capital, he closed his eyes forever.
According to his last wishes, he cremated the body of the King of Shu to ashes and brought him to the capital, so that he could see with his own eyes how the world of the capital was turned upside down.
"Lord Wang, my subordinates have come to see you!" Hei Yin's eyes were firmly fixed on the words on the tablet, his fingertips swiped the handwriting, and he pricked his hand slightly, and he didn't feel pain.
"Lord Wang, although you are no longer here, the person who replaced you will definitely be able to get back everything you have lost for you."
"The emperor probably thinks about the old love and trusts him very much, and the emperor will never think that the 'son' he trusts is actually someone else."
"The rivers and mountains of Great Xia have fallen into his hands, I'm afraid that if this emperor goes underground, he won't be able to turn a blind eye when he dies!"
"Lord Wang, don't worry, that day is not far away, even if your subordinates fight for this life, they will definitely recapture everything for you, and none of the people who should be punished will be able to escape."
"When that day comes, your subordinates can put your spiritual seat in the palace in a dignified manner, Lord Wang, are you also looking forward to that day? I'm looking forward to it as much as my subordinates, right? ”
When the time was almost up, Hei Yin reluctantly put the tablet back away, then turned off the light and left along the way he came.
When Heiyin left, the person who had been hiding in the shadows quietly walked out, entered the dilapidated house like a thief, ran to the corner where Heiyin put his baggage, and then took out the contents inside.
After touching the tablet, he quickly took it out of the room and looked carefully at the moonlight.
The throne of Ning Yan'an, the king of Shu!
These seven words clearly caught the man's eyes.
The man smiled sinisterly.
I see.
The man suddenly raised his head, and the face of Qin Hui's traitorous villain was reflected in the moonlight.
The assassination on the street tonight was actually planned by him, but as a result, those killers were so useless that he actually let him escape and return to the palace safely.
He has always hated the King of Shu. What happened on the night I just came to the palace.
Because of that incident, he can't see the light now, and he doesn't even dare to let any relatives know that he is still alive, and hides in the corner of the palace every day.
He lives to take revenge, to let Ye Xi, Heiyin and Tao all go to hell.
Originally, I thought that tonight's assassination failed, and I didn't know what to do in the future, but I got such information by tracking Heiyin.
The spiritual seat of the King of Shu is here, in the columbarium
If the ashes in the ash jar are the king of Shu, then the people who appear in the palace of the king of Shu now are...... Imposter!
Haha, it's really the emperor who lives up to his wishes.
Pretending to be the king of Shu, this is a crime to exterminate the nine clans in Great Xia.
Including the Tao and Heiyin around the fake King of Shu, all of them will die, no...... And add Blue Green City!
Under the moonlight, Qin Hui smiled sinisterly, and the moonlight reflected his two rows of white teeth, refracting the fierce cold light.
He had been waiting for this day for a long time.
※
Because he saw the buns for the first time, the haze in Lan Qingcheng's heart was half gone, and he could sleep alone at night.
However, in the morning, when the sky was faintly bright, she was awakened from her nightmare again.
When he woke up in the morning, Lan Qingcheng touched the sweat on his forehead, and his face showed a trace of exhaustion.
In the dream, it is still the picture of the night sun falling into the canyon.
Some people say that there are thoughts in the day and dreams in the night!
Probably because she always felt guilty for not saving Yexi when she was in the canyon, so that image always appeared in her mind.
This has become her nightmare, and she doesn't want to break free from it.
Because of this, it gave her the courage to continue to persevere.
Now that she has buns by her side, every step she takes now must be carefully planned and nothing can go wrong.
Getting up early in the morning, Lan Qingcheng felt a little tired.
Since she fell off the cliff three years ago, she has never been truly happy or relaxed, and even her body is protesting against her not treating her well.
So, she picked up the radio gymnastics she hadn't practiced for a long time.
While chanting 'one-two-three-four, two-two-three-four, three-two-......' in his mouth, he moved his hands and feet.
I did the gymnastics twice in a row, and I felt that my body seemed to be moving and I had some energy.
At the top of the tree in the courtyard next door, a fallen leaf swayed leisurely from above, and when the wind blew, the leaf blew into the courtyard of Lan Qingcheng and landed on her shoulder.
Lan Qingcheng was about to throw the leaves away, but suddenly, his eyes were fixed, his index finger and thumb picked up the leaves, and he looked at them carefully in front of his eyes.
There was a line of writing on the leaves.
The above is engraved with a sharp object: the movement is very strange, what kind of skill is being practiced?
The handwriting was exactly the same as the crooked handwriting in Princess Yongkang's mansion.
looked up at the treetops, and sure enough, I saw a figure shaking, who else could it be if it wasn't the King of Shu next door? He really had the leisure to climb the tree early in the morning.
Dropping the leaves in her hand, she snorted through her nose, ignored him, and turned to walk to her room.
As long as he has something to do with the King of Shu, it's no good thing, he provoked Princess Yongkang, and he was almost buried in the fire last night, and he doesn't know what will happen in the future, he is the broom star of her life.
Feng Yi and Yao Yiwei then rushed over.
They didn't know anything about last night, but in the morning they heard about the corpses and fires on the streets, so they hurried to Lan Qingcheng to ask about the situation.
The two of them were relieved to learn that they had been okay last night.
At breakfast time, Yao Yiwei brought breakfast to Lan Qingcheng.
There were unexpectedly steamed buns in the breakfast.
When Yao Yiwei brought it into the room, she still muttered: "I have already told the kitchen, the master does not like to eat steamed buns in the morning, but the kitchen still sent steamed buns, it seems that I have to go to the kitchen again to warn after a while." ”
"It's just breakfast, everything you eat." Lan Qingcheng picked up a steamed bun.
Just as she was about to take a bite, she saw that the bottom of the steamed bun seemed to have been dug open.
"How? The kitchen is against the yang and the yin, and you can't get used to it like this! Feng Yi was also unhappy.
Lan Qingcheng didn't speak, he broke open the steamed bun, and in the center of the steamed bun, there was indeed a note hidden.
Feng Yi and Yao Yiwei both looked at the note in surprise.
"How could there be a note?"
Lan Qingcheng opened the note expressionlessly, and wrote two lines of words on the note crookedly, seeing that word, Lan Qingcheng's brows furrowed deeply.
"Master, what is written on the paper?"
"Someone wants to see me and say they want to tell me the secret about the King of Shu!"
Feng Yi and Yao Yiwei glanced at each other.
The secret of the King of Shu? Why does it sound interesting?
"Who is it?"
"I don't know, I don't have a signature, just say that I want to go to the address on the note, and he will tell me!"
"Master, this must be a trap, you can't go."
Lan Qingcheng looked at the note with a smile: "Of course I want to go!" ”
If she doesn't go, won't the other party be disappointed?
※
According to the agreed place on the paper, Lan Qingcheng arrived alone in advance, and after a while, a person came out of the shadows.
Lan Qingcheng recognized the other party at a glance, with a slight surprise on his face, but he was a little clear.
"Who should I be, it turned out to be Steward Qin, Steward Qin, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come to harm!"
