Chapter 64: Step by step
72_72998 It sounded like a very clueless sentence, but it made Lin Feng stunned in place for an instant, and even forgot the gift that he wanted to take back, and the whole person was as stiff as if he had suddenly turned into a sculpture.
Looking at this obvious reaction, a smile flashed in the depths of Yang Haolong's eyes, it seems that she really guessed correctly!
"What is Long Xiang talking about, this official doesn't understand, although he was an official in the same dynasty, but now Lin has already had other plans, since he is an old friend, if you leave at this time, Lin promises not to embarrass you!"
Just when Yang Haolong had just put down a stone in his heart, Lin Feng quickly stood up and dusted off the dust on his body, and the stiff expression just now disappeared in an instant, as if nothing had happened just now.
For this situation, Yang Haolong didn't feel any surprise, just smiled slightly.
There are really few things she can't do if she wants to do them!
"Commander Lin, since you said so, it's not appropriate to hide the original appearance anymore." Yang Haolong cleared his throat and moved in the direction of a chair, resting comfortably on the chair.
"Is Lin Meiren's death caused by a cold and slippery tire, and the real reason, except for those tight-lipped old lady doctors, only Benxiang knows, are you sure you don't listen to Benxiang?"
Yang Haolong's voice was very indifferent, and it sounded like he had a good chance of winning, but his hands in the sleeves were a little nervous.
The room was so quiet that he could almost hear the sound of his own heartbeat, Yang Haolong tried his best to calm his mood, and a pair of bright eyes stared closely at the back of the armor-clad figure.
Judging from Lin Feng's reaction when he heard that sentence just now, he must be very concerned about his sister's death, as long as he can maintain his confidence before this, he will definitely find his breakthrough!
Because of the silence, it seemed that even time had slowed down a little, and after a long time, the man in the thick armor was finally the first to be defeated in this psychological battle.
"You must know that if you dare to deceive this official, this official will definitely not let you out of the door of this room!"
Lin Feng's voice seemed to be full of exhaustion for a moment, and his eyes that looked at Yang Haolong also became hideous and terrifying because of bloodshot.
Yang Haolong guessed correctly, this matter was really Lin Feng's heart disease.
Yang Haolong was not angry at Lin Feng's reaction, let go of his hands nested in his sleeves, and smiled faintly, she naturally had an exact grasp of this matter, otherwise she wouldn't dare to rashly use it as bait!
"Sister Ling was named a beauty after she became pregnant seven years ago, but when she was four months pregnant, the news came that she was weak and cold, not only did she not save the child in her belly, but she even died because of a miscarriage, right?"
In the quiet room, only Yang Haolong's suppressed voice was floating back and forth, which seemed to have a unique magic that attracted the attention of the listeners.
"It was framed by gangsters! If it weren't for that villain, my sister would ......"
It seemed that because of recalling those things, Lin Feng's feelings had become much more agitated, and it was difficult to even maintain his calmness, so Yang Haolong had to stop first and wait until Lin Feng's feelings were stable before continuing.
"You always thought that this matter was the reason for the royal family, but in fact it was not, the biggest mastermind behind this matter was Mo Batian!"
"Mo Batian's sister entered the palace at the same time as your sister, and the news of pregnancy also came at the same time, you said, if you were Mo Batian, what would you do?"
Yang Haolong's calm voice slowly spread in the room, and in Lin Feng's ears, it was like thunder, and the figure stared at Yang Haolong as if it was frozen, with a look of surprise.
He obviously didn't expect this result, so he naturally showed such an expression!
"Why should I believe what you're saying?"
It was only after a moment of surprise that Lin Feng's expression quickly returned to normal, and there was a look of wariness in his eyes when he looked at Yang Haolong.
The corners of Yang Haolong's mouth hooked slightly, this Lin Feng is not stupid!
"Presumably Mo Batian must have told you that the murderer is the current Queen Mother, if it weren't for that, I really can't think of any reason for you to help the rebels."
Looking at Lin Feng's cautious expression, Yang Haolong did not say anything like taking refuge, but mentioned the word helping the rebels without itching or pain.
Now that he has found the symptoms, then he has found the place to start, Yang Haolong's tone has become more confident, looking at Lin Feng's eyes with a sense of majesty, the dragon who once dominated the court of Zhao and Chu is back!
Lin Feng did not ignore the meaning of Yang Haolong's words, his body shook slightly, raised his eyes and looked at Yang Haolong for a long time, without saying a word.
This kind of thing is not so simple, it is not something he can draw conclusions so casually, finally, after a faint sigh, Lin Feng said that he would have to think about it again.
But Yang Haolong didn't have so much time to wait, if he didn't do it immediately, those guards outside the city wall wouldn't be able to enter, and when Mo Batian's people rushed over, things would become troublesome.
Since Lin Feng looked hesitant, then she pushed him, this kind of thing can't be dragged on like this all the time, it's too bad for her!
"Believe it or not, I won't mention it for the time being, if you really let go of the real murderer who killed Sister Ling because of this, and even have to fight for the tiger, I'm afraid Sister Ling's soul will not be at peace!"
"You have to understand that with the means of the true appearance, you can enter the imperial city even if you don't have access to guò, why do you have to block your back roads?"
Although he knew in his heart that time was pressing, he didn't show it at all on the surface, and he didn't even change his tone of voice.
With her Yang Haolong's means, even if she can't get through Guò Lin Feng here, she can still enter the Imperial City, but for her perfectionist, she just wants to choose a way that consumes the least amount of money.
What's more, if it weren't for her great confidence in her plan, she wouldn't have chosen to come to see Lin Feng, since she had bigger chips in her hand, she naturally wouldn't have anything to worry about.
Lin Feng didn't seem to take anything to heart about what Yang Haolong said, and as soon as he raised his hand, he seemed to be ready to call the soldiers outside in.
Seeing that Lin Feng was so soft and hard, Yang Haolong had to shake his head in his heart, it seems that to deal with such a stubborn person, he still has to take strong medicine!
"Commander Lin doesn't seem to want to continue talking with Benxiang, so that's it, the poor little princess not only has no mother, but now it is estimated that she can't even see her only uncle! Alas......"
After speaking, Yang Haolong turned around and prepared to leave, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
Sure enough, just as Yang Haolong turned around and was about to walk out of the room, Lin Feng's voice came from behind him, as if he wanted to stop the two from leaving, but before the outstretched hand could touch the corner of Yang Haolong's clothes, it was directly slapped aside by a strong wind.
The person who made the shot was naturally Wang Jiahong, and it was not allowed for anyone except himself to approach Yang Haolong, so Lin Feng was also unlucky, he was directly slapped back a few steps backwards, and almost tripped over the table and chair behind him.
Although he was almost slapped to the ground with a palm, Lin Feng didn't bother to check the injury, but shouted at Yang Haolong's back to stay.
"You just said, little princess, where is she?"
I don't know if it was because of internal injuries or because he was too excited, Lin Feng even slipped away a little unsmoothly when he spoke, where was the indifferent appearance just now!
His sister also gave birth to a little princess before that miscarriage, but she was said to be an ominous person at birth, and she was sent to the temple for foster care early, and on a rainy night later, she disappeared completely, and no one knew her whereabouts.
Lin Meiren, who was originally in poor health and became weaker and weaker after becoming pregnant again, passed out directly after knowing the news, and couldn't afford to get sick.
For this missing child, it has also been Lin Feng's heart disease for many years, and now when Yang Haolong mentions it, how can he not be excited!
Seeing Lin Feng take the bait, Yang Haolong naturally couldn't leave in a hurry, but stood in place, pretending to be very surprised and turned around.
"It turns out that Commander Lin doesn't know? Oops, it's the same thing, I promised others not to say it, Commander Lin must not take it to heart. ”
Yang Haolong made an expression of remorse, as if he was very annoyed.
"Long Xiang, please sue me! It was my fault that I didn't protect that child before, I can't be wrong again and again! ”
At this time, Lin Feng, the expression on his face was very sad, he quickly got up and walked towards Yang Haolong, and after walking a few steps, he stopped because he was afraid of Wang Jiahong's storage, and looked at Yang Haolong very eagerly.
Looking at the expression that didn't look like a fake, Yang Haolong didn't tell the news that Lin Feng wanted to know, she wanted to use this as a bargaining chip, so naturally she couldn't say it lightly.
"These are all family affairs of Commander Lin, and they naturally have nothing to do with the original appearance, not to mention, we are still on opposite sides, and the true appearance is naturally not to be said."
Seeing that Yang Haolong was about to leave after speaking, Lin Feng finally couldn't hold his breath, this news was too important to him, if he could really get the news of the little girl from Yang Haolong, it would be worth it to let him exchange his life!
"Long Xiang, we can still talk, you tell me the news, and I will make it convenient for you, how about this?"
Lin Feng looked as if he wanted to get the news, and even his tone changed to a tone of discussion.
Yang Haolong smiled coldly, this Lin Feng obviously regarded her as a fool, if he told the news, Lin Feng would not open the city gate, what could she do.
"Commander Lin, don't think that your true appearance is begging you."
A faint word, but with a cold killing intent, she is not an impatient person, if Lin Feng wants to, she can spend it with him, but now she is dragging it out, Xiao Xuanzi can't drag it out.
"Either choose to open the city gate, and after the rebels are assessed, the prime minister will tell you the whereabouts of the little princess, or." Yang Haolong paused slightly, "Then don't blame your true appearance for killing, you don't want to see the child left by your sister in your life!" ”
Although Yang Haolong's voice was not loud, it was loud, and it directly shocked Lin Feng there, he was in a hurry, and he forgot that it was the dragon who was standing in front of him!
For a person who can influence the current situation of the entire Chu State in one sentence, he still has the heart to bargain, and he is really tired of being crooked!
Looking at the murderous intent looming in those bright eyes, Lin Feng did not doubt Yang Haolong's decisiveness at all, he believed that as long as he didn't know what to do, there would definitely be no good end waiting for him.
After a long time, Lin Feng finally knelt down and kowtowed fiercely to Yang Haolong.
"Before, it was Lin who was bewitched by the rebels, if Long Xiang was willing to give Lin a chance, Lin would never give up!"
Although Lin Feng was stubborn, he hadn't reached the point where he couldn't tell what was in front of him, not to mention that if it weren't for the cause of his sister's death, he would never have done such a thing as treason.
Seeing Lin Feng's solemn appearance, Yang Haolong was also relieved, walked to the city wall and made a gesture in the direction of Ah Yue, and Lin Feng also quickly sent someone down to open the city gate, and in a moment, those demon palace guards finally completed entering the city under the cover of night.
Because he was worried about Xiao Xuanzi in his heart, Yang Haolong didn't stay here for much in Lin Feng, and as soon as he entered the imperial city, he rushed directly towards the place where the palace was gathered.
There doesn't seem to be anything different along the way, there are still patrols by Imperial City guards every few steps, and in terms of numbers, it seems that there are many more people.
Speaking of which, in addition to Yang Haolong, the most anxious person in the group is Ran Li, it has been several days since he set off to look for Yang Haolong in the Demon Palace, and he doesn't know what the situation in the palace is during this time.
Just as they were finally approaching the palace gate after crossing the wide white marble bridge, a group of guards in military uniforms suddenly appeared from both sides and surrounded everyone.
"Stop! Who are you! ”
A middle-aged man led by him stood up and shouted at the group, most of the Demon Palace guards who followed had already dispersed and sneaked into the palace, and only a small part of them followed Yang Haolong.
Seeing so many imperial city guards coming out here at once, even Yang Haolong was a little surprised, although the palace is the most heavily guarded place, but there is also a certain number of patrolling guards, generally about twenty people, the number of people who appeared today is more than five times the usual, and the black pressure of the guards looks very oppressive.
At this moment, Ran Li walked out from behind Yang Haolong, holding a waist card made of white jade in his hand, the best Hetian jade material was more conspicuous in the night, and the middle-aged guard walked up and took a closer look, and then confirmed it several times before kneeling down respectfully to make amends.
"It turned out to be Ran's guard, and his subordinates have offended a lot, please understand!"
Ran Li didn't say anything, and walked to Yang Haolong's side, and the middle-aged guard seemed to have just reacted, isn't the one sitting in the wheelchair the dragon appearance of their Chu State!
Seeing Yang Haolong's arrival, the middle-aged guard hurriedly made a solemn salute, raised his hand and signaled his subordinates behind him to make a way.
"Why did the guards in this palace suddenly increase so much?"
Yang Haolong looked at the guards with almost hundreds of people behind the man, and frowned with some doubts, it stands to reason that even in a special period, the patrolling guards will be divided into multiple teams to act, so many people gather together like this, something must have happened!
Sure enough, the middle-aged guard paused, and told Yang Haolong about what happened a few days ago.
It turned out that just a few days ago, after Ran Li had just left, a group of assassins appeared in the palace, and they almost took the little emperor who had just gone to bed directly.
"How's the master?"
As soon as he heard that such a thing had happened to Chu Chenxuan, Ran Li rushed over with an arrow step, and picked up the middle-aged guard, looking very anxious.
"Ahem, the emperor is a little injured, and there is no major problem, and the queen mother has increased the number of patrols in this palace to five times that of normal days."
The guard looked away from Ran Li's face as he spoke, looking at a floor tile on the ground, and his expression stiffened a little unnaturally.
"Hurt?!"
There was anger in Ran Li's voice, it seemed to be very angry, these people couldn't protect their master well, and they actually injured him!
Then he seemed to feel that this was his dereliction of duty, and guilt and self-blame came to his heart together, his flushed face was almost bursting, and the hand holding the middle-aged guard's collar became tighter and tighter.
"Alright, let's get over now."
Yang Haolong finally spoke, and Ran Li, who was still holding on to the middle-aged guard, let go of his hand, and the group set off again in the direction of Chu Chenxuan's dormitory.
Just as they had barely walked a few steps, an urgent cry rang out behind them.
"The Queen Mother invited the Dragon Prime Minister to Qifeng Palace to talk."
A person who looked like a eunuch walked over from behind a rockery not far away, looking like his status was still not low, and bowed respectfully to Yang Haolong.
Because Chu Chenxuan and Yang Haolong are relatively close, all the subordinates in the palace will salute directly when they see Yang Haolong, without exception, including the chief eunuch in front of him.
Yang Haolong turned his head to look at Ah Yue, and they all saw some different feelings from the other party's eyes, they had just come in, and they were invited by the Empress Dowager to come over, and in terms of experience, there would definitely be no good thing.
The reason why he thinks so is not without reason, Yang Haolong still clearly remembers that he was plotted by that femme fatale woman more than once, if it weren't for his cleverness, Xiao Ming would have not known how many times he would have confessed!
Although I thought so in my heart, I couldn't help but go, not to mention that I came back this time to help Xiao Xuanzi, and it was only a matter of time before I met, in this case, it was better to make some things clear in advance.
However, just as Ah Yue was about to walk over pushing Yang Haolong, the eunuch walked up, gently stopped in front of Ah Yue, and shook his head.
"The Queen Mother said, you are the only one who can go. This one is also ......"
The eunuch just wanted to say that Wang Jiahong should also stay temporarily, but when he saw the killing intent in Wang Jiahong's eyes, his legs and feet were weak, and he took a step back with some fear.
"This is the Venerable Lord of the Demon Palace, please rest first!"
Although his legs and feet were weak, the Queen Mother only asked for Yang Haolong to go alone, and the eunuch naturally did not dare to disobey the order, so he could only fight his spirit and said to Wang Jiahong with a smile.
Unexpectedly, Wang Jiahong didn't even pay attention to the eunuch, walked over and pushed Yang Haolong's wheelchair in his hand, and looked at the eunuch so fixedly, meaning to let him lead the way.
The eunuch originally wanted to say something, but before he could open his mouth, he was shrouded by a pair of murderous eyes, and he didn't have anything to say, so he hurriedly shook off the dust and went to the front to lead the way.
Seeing that Ah Yue was still a little worried and wanted to keep up, Yang Haolong shook his head lightly, with an indifferent expression that could not see joy, since she dared to come back here, she was full of confidence, and she was not afraid of that femme fatale.
The eunuch walked in front to lead the way, and looked back a few times from time to time, as if he was afraid that Yang Haolong would suddenly run away, and after passing through one corridor after another, the three big characters of Qifeng Palace finally appeared in front of him.
"The Empress Dowager Qi, the slave brought people here."
The eunuch who led the way bowed respectfully to the closed door of the room, and in a moment the heavy door was pushed open, and the marble floor reflected in the bright candlelight
