Chapter 123: Trickery

Fu Wei, the county magistrate, was very depressed about the exchange of hostages this morning, and although it ended in failure, he was still a little excited when he introduced Vice General She to the prince of Su Meng.

Lord Fu's words were extremely misleading, making Princess Jin'er think for a while that Brother Wang had been rescued by Vice General She, so she slapped her face excitedly and praised her: "Okay, Vice General She is so brave." ”

"Brave is brave, but it's a pity that Vice Admiral She is not strong enough, and at the last moment, he was rushed to the side by the fake Prince Sumeng and clicked on the acupoint, and Vice General She was captured by the other party in this way."

"Vice General She was also captured by the Third Prince's men?"

"Yes, the man also laughed and said, I had expected that we would play tricks, but I didn't expect to get a defective product, the dress is so bad, not like the third prince at all, and it is really not as superb as Bai's disguise skills."

"That's it! Master Fu, look at your methods, they are simply inferior to others! Why are you both using alternatives? Princess Jin'er was disappointed and asked dissatisfied.

"Who knew that the surname Bai also used the trick of peach stiff Li Dai?" Master Fu stomped his feet, sighed helplessly, and remembered that the person who pretended to be Prince Sumeng at that time took away Vice General She, and dropped the taunt: "Now Prince Sumeng has a companion." ”

"What now? Did you just watch Brother Wang fall into the hands of those people? Princess Jin'er asked in annoyance.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, we still have a chance! I want to confess the next sentence when I leave, and I will exchange it again at dusk today. ”

"That's good! Fortunately, there is still a chance. Princess Jin'er breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's just, a little trouble! The surname Bai said, they have a prince and a deputy general in their hands, and they can't exchange two people for one of the three princes, so doesn't it let us take advantage of it? ”

"This, this, this, this ......" Princess Jin'er also felt very entangled.

"They also said that this was the last chance and that no one was allowed to replace them with counterfeiters." Master Fu introduced it very calmly, and he didn't feel that his face couldn't hang it at all.

"That's true! Can't use fake ones anymore! Look, two for one, how incompetent are you, Lord Fu? "Princess Jin'er really thinks that Master Fu is not only incompetent, but also thick-skinned enough!

"Yes, the subordinate is incompetent." Fu Wei bowed his head and admitted his mistakes, not caring about being an incompetent official, and felt that it was understandable that there would be deviations in the handling of tricky things.

"Master Fu, it's not enough to just admit incompetence! There is one thing you must prioritize, and that is that my brother's life is the most important thing! You must exchange your brother at all costs, if not, my father will know that you are useless in slacking off, and the consequences can be imagined. ”

Princess Jin'er stood up and pointed out in a serious manner that Lord Fu should have a correct attitude towards things, and the safety of Prince Sumeng should be the first priority.

It was the first time Fu Wei saw Princess Jin'er speak so seriously, and knew that he could no longer act arbitrarily, and all the following arrangements must be in accordance with Her Royal Highness's wishes, and replied: "Yes, please rest assured, Your Royal Highness the Princess, the second exchange of hostages will definitely be successful." ”

"Well, I hope all the best! Where are the Three Princes currently? ”

"Temporarily imprisoned in the county jail."

"Princess Ben wants to ask, please arrange a meeting with Lord Fu."

"Yes, this matter is easy to do, the lower officials will go back to the county government first, and send more people to inspect inside and outside the prison, so as not to let the remnants of the three princes have a chance, in case they rescue the three princes from the prison, we have no bargaining chips, what to exchange for Prince Sumeng's return."

"That's right, you go first, and Princess Ben will come later." Princess Jin'er sat back on the edge of the bed and watched Master Fu walk out of the door, feeling soft and uneasy.

The maid Xiaolian has been standing outside the door, because the door is not closed, the conversation between the two in the room has been heard, and the master Fu led the entourage to leave, pushed the door and walked into the room, standing quietly beside Princess Jin'er, not daring to ask more.

After a while, Princess Jin'er said angrily: "This Lord Fu seems to be shrewd, but in fact it is very useless, and it is not good to do things, Brother Wang can't exchange it back, and Vice General She has been arrested again." ”

Xiaolian rolled her eyes and gasped, she didn't have a good impression of Vice General She, she usually drank in a big way, but when she arrived at the festival, she numb her paws, and muttered in a low voice: "Vice General She doesn't have any skills, otherwise how could he be arrested?" ”

Princess Jin'er frowned in annoyance, pursed her lips and said: "So far, we can't blame Vice General She for being incompetent, after all, Vice General She is also out of kindness, but it seems to be chaotic, he and Brother Wang need to be exchanged back in each other's hands, and we only have the third prince in our hands, and there is still a lack of hostages." ”

"Is there a hostage missing?" Xiaolian stuck out her tongue mischievously, and suggested with a smile: "Then it's better to arrest the personal guards of the third prince, tie them up with the third prince and send them to exchange for His Royal Highness the Prince, two against two, and it will look good on the face." ”

"Well, what are you talking nonsense?" Princess Jin'er was stunned for a moment, feeling that she was sorry for the Qin guards for doing this.

"Princess, I'm not talking nonsense, the Qin guards are loyal to the three princes, let the two of them live and die together, maybe she will be happy?" Xiaolian's eyes rolled, and she also felt puzzled, always involuntarily wanting to bully the Qin guards.

"The Qin guards are not at the post station." Princess Jin'er said simply, feeling that Qin Xingyi was likely to wander around the county office.

Princess Jin'er guessed correctly, Qin Xingyi did wander around the county government for a while, and then the injury was unbearable, so she hid in a small dilapidated temple nearby to meditate and breathe.

Qin Xingyi was not calm in her heart, and at the same time she was worried that outsiders would break in and disturb her when she was meditating, so her breathing was not smooth, but her qi and blood were retrograde, causing the blood in the lower plate to be blocked, and she suddenly felt numb and itchy.

Qin Xingyi was shocked, hurriedly gathered her mind, forgot herself and fell into silence, let her breath return to the meridians, and after a long time, she exhaled slowly, looked up at the window, and the sky was close to dusk.

She hadn't eaten for a day and didn't feel hungry, so she stood up against the broken wall, intending to go to the vicinity of the county government to check the movement, when she suddenly heard a noise outside the door of the small temple, and it seemed that several officials were searching for suspicious elements passing by on the road, coming this way.

Qin Xingyi thought about it and felt that she was not physically strong, and if she fought with these officials, it would hurt her vitality, so she had no way to save Xuanyuan Mingyu, so she had to be patient and avoid the limelight for the time being.

She tried to breathe a sigh of relief, but felt that it was okay, so she jumped onto the beam at the top of the small temple and hid on it to hold her breath.

Almost at the same time, the door of the small temple was kicked open, and several officials walked in chatting, and one of them said, "We have searched in the city for a day, and there is not even a shadow of a ghost." Team leader, it's almost dusk, and the second hostage exchange is about to start, I don't know if it will go smoothly this time? ”

An old team leader said: "I don't think it will go well, and eighty percent will have to come to the third exchange." ”

"Why?" Several officials asked together.

"The reason is very simple, I heard that this afternoon, Her Royal Highness the princess went to the prison to ask questions, and the third prince didn't even have to answer the questions, and even gasped for breath, and he was about to die. Her Royal Highness the princess was furious, and scolded the county magistrate for a bloody sprinkler, saying that Lord Fu was not enough to succeed and more than to lose, if the third prince died, what would he use to exchange for His Royal Highness the prince? ”

"Yes, how did the third prince become like this?"

"I heard that it was caused by Lin Zhutou. Last night, on the secret order of Prince Sumeng, the three princes were imprisoned in the first restaurant in the world. Lin Zhutou, who was in charge of the guard, got drunk and tied the third prince to a tree and smoked indiscriminately, almost killing him. ”

Qin Xingyi hid on the beam of the house and heard this, only then did he realize that he had missed Xuanyuan Mingyu this morning, and secretly regretted it, but unfortunately he missed a great opportunity to rescue Xuanyuan Mingyu.

"So that's the case, a few of our brothers know. If the third prince dies, what will be exchanged at that time? ”

"Don't worry, don't people still have a breath! I heard that Lord Fu was also annoyed, and decided to be unkind to the third prince and personally went out to replace people, so you think, will the second dusk hostage exchange agreed with today go wrong? Let's take a half-dead third prince to exchange for two people who are alive and well, do you think it's possible? The old squad leader asked.

A small official said, "It's unlikely. Team leader, a few of our brothers are curious about what Master Fu plans to do? The twilight hour is coming, and it won't be a bag drop like in the morning, and a lieutenant general will be compensated for the failure to succeed. ”

Qin Xingyi was so anxious that she almost slipped off the beam of the house, thinking: Dusk is approaching, if Lord Fu personally exchanges hostages, and Xuanyuan Mingyu is in his hands, it will be difficult for junior brother Bai Yinfan to be sure of success.

"This, it depends on Lord Fu's plan. Don't look at Lord Fu as a civil official, Si Siwenwen's appearance looks like a scholar, legend has it that Lord Fu's martial arts are powerful, proficient in launching a hidden weapon, called Niu Mao Needle, the ultimate unique kung fu, ordinary people will be poisoned to death as soon as they touch the tip of the needle. ”

"Team leader, the cow hair needle you said is so evil, Lord Fu won't stab the third prince a few times when he is angry, right?"

"I'm not sure. I heard that Master Fu plans to pretend to be the personal guard of the three princes, holding the vital points of the three princes with one hand, and holding a few cow hair needles between his fingers with the other. ”

"Team leader, what you said is great! When the three princes were completely finished, Lord Fu had no stumbling blocks, so he snatched His Royal Highness the prince from those people. Several officials applauded and speculated.

Qin Xingyi sat on the beam, and when she heard these conspiracy plans, she was so angry that she almost exploded her lungs, secretly hating the county magistrate's plan for being too vicious, Xuanyuan Mingyu was in danger, he couldn't hide here, he had to take action to resolutely prevent the county magistrate's trick from succeeding!
