Chapter 169: Martial Law
In the vast and fertile fields, shepherds hold piccolos and play unknown songs. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoBai Lufeng had no time to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the border pass, tightened his horse's body, and rushed to the capital. I wonder what happened in the palace?
In order to avoid people's eyes, the group dressed up in disguise and pretended to be businessmen.
"The shopkeeper will arrive in the capital in two days." The servant at the head spoke. In the past few days, everyone has been working day and night, and they are very tired.
Bai Lufeng nodded and helped Wang Yizhu off the horse, "It's getting late, find an inn to rest." ā
The inn is small, with only five rooms. Seeing that it was a caravan, the shopkeeper's small eyes smiled into crescent moons, "Please inside." ā
"A few guest officers, but in the direction of the capital?" The shopkeeper accosted enthusiastically. After many years of contact with customers from the north and south, the shopkeeper has developed a pair of sharp eyes and a mouth that can speak.
This group of people is dressed in gorgeous clothes, and they talk and behave well, and they are either rich or noble.
Bai Lufeng nodded slightly, which was a response. The inn junior is a rare source of information, they come into contact with all kinds of people, and naturally they can collect all kinds of information.
The shopkeeper became interested, "I advise this guest officer, don't go to the capital recently." These days, the capital is quite peaceful. ā
Not peaceful?
Bai Lufeng's heart sank suddenly, could it be that they did it?
"The guest officials don't know, ten days ago, martial law was ordered in the capital, and they had to be searched when they entered and exited the city gate, and those officials were really crazy, not only took away the money, but also took the opportunity to take advantage of the eldest girl." The shopkeeper shook his head, Jing Chao is afraid that the sky is going to change!
"Martial law? Did they say why martial law? Wang Yizhu asked.
The shopkeeper smiled, "I don't know about this." In short, you better not go to the capital. ā
After the shopkeeper left, there was silence in the room. Bai Lufeng clenched his fists and slammed them on the wooden table, the hot tea splashed on the back of his hand, and he was unconscious. Or is it a step too late?!
Wang Yizhu got up, came to Bai Lufeng, hugged him into his arms, and comforted her child like a mother, "Don't worry, he'll be fine." ā
Bai Lufeng raised his eyes, full of anxiety, "Yizhu, what should I do?" ā
What to do? Like a lost child asking for directions! When he left Yasukuni, he found that Prince Qi and Hu Guifei were colluding with Risheng, and told his father to be vigilant, and if necessary, activate the forces of the Qinglong Gang to completely eradicate the traitorous party. But his father shook his head, he didn't believe that Prince Qi would really do it, "He has been fighting all his life, he has worked hard, and there are grievances in his heart, he and Hu Guifei colluded just for a while, we are brothers in the end." ā
Father said that when they were young, the two brothers had a good relationship, and wherever he went, Prince Qi followed him; He ascended the throne, and the prince of Qi was the first to come out to support; He was threatened by other countries, and the prince of Qi immediately sent troops to beat the other party to the ground.
I don't know when there was a gap between the brothers. He found that Prince Qi was secretly cultivating his own power, colluding with Hu Guifei, and even plotting to usurp the throne. He told himself that Prince Qi did this because he was bewitched by Hu Guifei.
Bai Lufeng once visited the palace at night, and the palace was extremely deserted and the family was scarce. Prince Qi was lying on a wooden chair, basking in the sun leisurely, the sun shone on his gray hair, telling his premature aging.
For the peace of Yasukuni, the prince of Qi worked hard for most of his life, was hit by twelve arrows in his body, and escaped death dozens of times. Why? Is it just the dragon chair? What is puzzling is that when his father was in power, he was sick, and sometimes he was even bedridden, and instead there was an opportunity, but Prince Qi chose to wait and wait. What is he waiting for?
Perhaps, he will wait a little longer.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Bai Lufeng left Yasukuni, he couldn't wait.
"Perhaps, it's not as bad as you think." Wang Yizhu comforted softly, "The capital is only under martial law, and it is not completely sealed, which means that they do not completely control the capital." What's more, the old troops of the prince of Qi are all stationed at the border pass and have not yet withdrawn. ā
"I will never let them hurt my father." Bai Lufeng's face sank, and he whistled a few times outside the window, and the whistle was like an owl haunted at night.
The whistle fell, and immediately a figure flew in, "What instructions does the helper have?" ā
"Infiltrate the capital, investigate the movements of Prince Qi and Hu Guifei, and report back quickly."
When the man heard this, he flew out of the window and disappeared into the darkness of the night. That night, the white land wind tossed and turned. Wang Yizhu stretched out his hands and hugged his back tightly. Some people say that this gives people the power of stability.
When the day was about to dawn, the person who inquired about the news reported that everything was as usual in the Qi Palace's palace and palace.
Business as usual? It is impossible for the Father to proclaim this martial law for no reason! In the seemingly calm palace, I am afraid that it has already been stormy.
"Lu Feng, Prince Qi and Concubine Hu have been able to endure for many years, and they must have careful arrangements and plans. I am afraid that this martial law is their conspiracy. "Although I haven't seen Prince Qi and Hu Guifei, Wang Yizhu knows a little about what the two of them did.
"They are doing this to lure the snake out of the hole. As for the snake, it should be me, the prince of the East Palace. "Good planning. On the one hand, he sent people to infiltrate the Western Regions and colluded with Gebol in an attempt to eradicate the prince and his party; On the other hand, he planted a suspicious array in the capital to prevent it from happening. Prince Jing either died in the Western Regions or in the capital.
"The more this happens, the less we can afford to be in a hurry. His Majesty's safety is worry-free for the time being, and Prince Qi and Concubine Hu are just bluffing. Lu Feng, I have a plan. Wang Yizhu leaned in Bai Lufeng's ear and whispered for a while.
Bai Lufeng nodded again and again, and took Wang Yizhu into his arms, "This plan is wonderful!" ā
The group of caravans listened to their advice and decided to postpone their trip to the capital and stationed at the inn with peace of mind.
Qi Wangfu, main hall. The obese Prince Qi sat leisurely on the wooden chair, closing his eyes and recuperating. Many years ago, he was a famous beautiful man in the Jing Dynasty royal family, and famous ladies flocked to him, and even the daughter of a minister committed suicide by cutting his wrists for him. At that time, he galloped on the battlefield, had an excellent record, and everyone admired him, and even the imperial brother treated him with courtesy.
I don't know when, he became fat, and he was out of control, where is the shadow of the heroic young general of the year now!
"Lord Wang. He's back! "The right-hand man around me came to report.
The person who seemed to be asleep suddenly opened his eyes, and his sharp eyes swept like a falcon, staring straight at the person who came, "When?" Where is it? ā
"I'm on my way to the capital." The man replied.
"Good! Very good! A smile appeared on Prince Qi's face, "Pass the order, act according to the plan, and there must be no mistakes!" ā
