Chapter 81: The Old Man

The royal guards had already taken over the streets in long lines, and they had lined up in two to clear the way to escort the royal carriages, and the people were blocked from the human wall and were talking. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

And Cang Zheng's royal horse convoy was still ten miles away from reaching the city gate, Xie Xiaoshuai found a high place to look at it, and relied on his eyesight advantage to see Cang Zheng's true face much faster than ordinary people.

"So he looks like this."

Xie Xiaoshuai's gaze swept over Cang Zhengqi and moved to the side, and at this time, the head on Cang Zhengzhen's chest was raised, and his little face happened to turn to the direction where Xiaoshuai was looking.

"She's ......" Xie Xiaoshuai rubbed his eyes, questioning what he saw for the first time.

Why does she look so similar to Zhao Hecai, isn't Zhao Hecai in Jiangzhu Kingdom? But I heard that this woman is Zhao Hejue's sister Zhao Hexiu, does Zhao Hexiu look like this, he tried to remember that face, but found that he couldn't remember.

He stared closely at every expression and movement of the woman in front of Cang Zhengqi, the familiarity became stronger and stronger, and the more he thought about it, the more chaotic his mind became......

Or, let's go back and talk to Sister Buckwheat first.

Just as he was about to retract his gaze, he saw Cang Zheng's head move to the woman's neck, open his mouth and bite down, and his hands and feet moved around, and the woman's expression was a little uncomfortable.

Xie Xiaoshuai swept over the people who followed Cang Zhengji's side, roughly estimated the number of people, and then turned over and jumped off the tall building, approaching in that direction.

He needed to get close to the woman and make sure to be reassured.

The people were so immersed in the rising mood that no one noticed that someone was walking on the roofs of nearby buildings to avoid the cornices.

Although Cang Zhengqi was dark as usual, he was already anxious in his heart, and he walked patiently for so long, and there was nothing, which made him how willing.

I couldn't vent on my face, so I started to do something to this concubine.

The royal carriage was wide and bright, and the two of them sat on the cushions, and the curtains around the carriage were golden gauze curtains, and it was clear what the people inside were doing.

It was the first time for Concubine Xiu to be like this in such a public, she was annoyed and angry in her heart, no matter how she could bear it, she still leaked her emotions from her expression, she looked around from time to time, although the entourage was looking straight ahead, but there was still a strong sense of being peeped at.

Suddenly feeling a big hand deep under her breast, Concubine Xiu subconsciously grabbed the big hand, and before Cang Zhengzhen spoke, she hurriedly cried: "Your Majesty, the concubine wants to go to the toilet......

"Spoiled!" Cang Zhengqi had some displeasure on his face, but he still let go of her and ordered the team to stop.

He arranged for six palace maids and two guards to follow Concubine Xiu.

"The city gate is ahead, don't delay too long."

Concubine Xiu nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and walked to the small forest next to her with the support of the palace maid.

Cang Zhengqi looked in one direction and gestured to Thirteen, who was hiding in the tree.

Thirteen then gave a few orders to a few black clothes beside him.

Concubine Xiu and the others arrived in the forest, and only stopped after making sure that the team couldn't see this side. The four guards stood in one corner and opened the silk cloth to make a screen, and the palace maids held the silk cloth separately inside.

As soon as she squatted down, she heard the sound of weapons clashing, and hurriedly tied the loose belt back, and then folded the silk cloth taken by the palace maid down, and saw four guards and three men in black fighting.

Several palace maids around him were already frightened, kept moving, and even forgot to call.

Concubine Xiu reacted quickly and shouted, "Help! ”

After shouting twice, I heard a palace maid next to me fall.

Xie Xiaoshuai clenched his fists, looked anxiously at the carriage procession, and said in his heart: She obviously shouted so loudly, and those people were deaf.

Concubine Xiu and the others were forced to run forward, getting farther and farther away from the convoy, the palace maids were killed one by one, seeing that Concubine Xiu was the only one left, Xie Xiaoshuai couldn't hold back any longer, took out a bow and crossbow and shot out.

The three black-clothed men were killed by him in an instant, and Xie Xiaoshuai saw that Concubine Xiu had not recovered from the fright, and no one from the convoy over there had come to look for her, so he appeared in front of her.

When he arrived in front of Concubine Xiu, he rubbed his face with his hands, then tilted his neck and rubbed his clothes, his appearance recovered, and then squatted down.

"Hey!"

Xie Xiaoshuai shook Concubine Xiu's eyes with his hand, and seeing that she didn't even move her eyes, he tried to call her, "Zhao Hexiu?" ”

The other party did not react.

Xie Xiaoshuai called twice, she was still the same, and when it came to the fourth call, Xiaoshuai called: "Zhao Hecai." ”

Concubine Xiu's eyes twitched, as if she had just woken up, her eyes moved, and she looked at Xie Xiaoshuai for a while, as if subconsciously, "Xiaoshuai?" ”

Such a salutation and tone, just like the familiarity in his memory, Xie Xiaoshuai's heart suddenly burst, and just as he was about to react, he saw the other party faint.

"Hey!" How could Xie Xiaoshuai be calm at the moment, and even a little flustered, he wanted to find out if it was his own delusion, and wanted to ask her further if she knew him, but no matter how he shook her and called her, he just didn't wake up.

Suddenly, there was the sound of a branch being crushed and broken, Xie Xiaoshuai moved his ears, and sentenced several footsteps to approach, and then looked at the unconscious person in front of him, he was discouraged and had to give up. couldn't help but linger for a while before leaving, watching those people lift Concubine Xiu to the carriage, and then he was relieved.

When he went back, he was a little confused, Xie Xiaoshuai kept thinking of what happened just now, and there were two contradictory voices in his heart that entangled him, and he even forgot to say hello when he returned to the inn to see Zhao Heqiao and Hesheng.

Zhao Heqiao patted Xie Xiaoshuai, saw the other party's body paused, and then observed the other party's body, which was very different from when he left before, and couldn't help but wonder: "Xiaoshuai? Seeing that he was slow to make a sound, and the wrinkles between his brows deepened, he knew that he must have encountered something. Xiaoshuai, what happened? ”

Xie Xiaoshuai looked at Zhao Heqiao, and then thought of the woman just now, "I...... I ......"

"What?" Zhao Heqiao saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, so he was not in a hurry, waiting for him to speak slowly.

He was speechless for a while, and finally said, "I saw the woman of Cangzheng today, Concubine Xiu. “

"Zhao Hexiu?" Zhao Heqiao hadn't been in contact with this person for a long time, and when he pronounced the name, he only felt strange.

Zhao Hexiu has been married to Cang Zhengqi for two years, and she hasn't heard of any waves, how can Xiaoshuai seem to care about her very much.

Xie Xiaoshuai opened his mouth, was silent for a while, and said with some bitterness in his voice: "Sister Qiao, if you have a friend who you haven't seen for a long time, and her appearance is a little more mature than before, will she not be recognizable at first sight?" ”

"Even if your appearance and clothing have changed a lot, as long as your relationship is better, you can always recognize it at first sight." Zhao Heqiao answered Xie Xiaoshuai's question while considering his words.

"But after all, she has more sisters and looks alike, will she be mistaken?" Xie Xiaoshuai's eyes flickered.

He obviously already has the answer, and the more he evades, the more it shows the truth of the matter. Zhao Heqiao had a bad premonition in his heart like this, and the words he said seemed to be encouraging, "Xiaoshuai, believe in your inner voice." ”

When Xie Xiaoshuai heard this, his eyes no longer flickered, but his voice was still a little cold, "She's ...... Sister buckwheat, she's ......"

Zhao Heqiao sighed and gave him the answer, "Is it Hecai?" ”

There are not many people who can make Xie Xiaoshuai familiar with and mind her feelings, but the one he mentioned earlier is Concubine Xiu. That is, this show concubine is not a real show concubine, except for Zhao Hecai, who else can there be.

Xie Xiaoshuai nodded.

If there was still a trace of luck, Xie Xiaoshuai's response would be dispersed, and Zhao Heqiao couldn't help but ask again, "Is it Hecai?" ”

Xie Xiaoshuai hesitated for a moment, nodded again, and his head sank a little bit compared to just now.

"How can it be a lotus?" How can a woman who is married to Cang Zhengzhen be a lotus......

Zhao Heqiao held on to the corner of the table like a force.

Where they don't know, what happened, and who is the woman in Jiang Zhu Kingdom who is pretending to be Zhao Hecai?

Zhao Heqiao only felt that there was an extra layer of fog in front of him.

He Sheng was on the side, and when he saw the two of them, he became sad and sighed for a while, "Zhao Hecai? "She knows the name of Hecai, the ninth princess of the Zhao family, and she should be far away in the Jiangzhu Kingdom at this time.

Zhao Heqiao explained to her: "The one in Jiang Zhu Guo is pretending, and the real Zhao Hecai has replaced the woman who was supposed to marry Cang Zhengqi......"

"Concubine Xiu?"

"That'......s right," Zhao Heqiao thought of this seven-day search, "It seems that Cang Zhengqi also knows who she is, so he wants to lure us out." ”

Although He Sheng doesn't know what Zhao Hecai is like, looking at Zhao Heqiao and Xie Xiaoshuai, he must be a person with a good relationship. She raised her own question, "If she has a good relationship with you, how can she be willing to marry Cang Zhengqi on her behalf?" ”

Zhao Heqiao shook his head, saying that he didn't know.

"Boy, have you been in contact with Zhao Hecai?" He Sheng pointed out this, Xie Xiaoshuai had been away for a long time before, if it wasn't like this, how could he be so sure.

He Sheng didn't know Xie Xiaoshuai's strange eyesight, but her guess was correct, not to mention that Xiaoshuai also saved Zhao He Caiming.

Zhao Heqiao and Hesheng listened to what happened before and after Xie Xiaoshuai, and their expressions became solemn.

"What's wrong, I've confirmed, I haven't been found." Xie Xiaoshuai said.

Zhao Heqiao shook his head, "It's not a matter of whether you notice it or not, Cang Zhengqi has already set up a bureau waiting for someone to jump in, and your subsequent moves are all calculated by him." ”

With such a lot of effort, how can you not be fully prepared.

"Now that Zhao Hecai is in his hands, will it have an impact on our actions?" He Sheng proposed.

"No, even if Cang Zhengqi threatens us with lotus color in the future, it can't stop what we have to do, but," Zhao Heqiao's face flashed with melancholy, "We can't ignore lotus color." ”

"Understood, then take her out of the palace." He Sheng suggested.

"Cang Zhengqi has stepped up his vigilance, and it is more likely that he has set up a lot of traps," Zhao Heqiao's gaze turned from the window to Hesheng's face, "If you are a little sure." ”

He Sheng touched his nose and said, "There really isn't a ......"

"And if any of us were caught, it would be even worse." Xie Xiaoshuai also did not agree to take Zhao Hecai out of the palace.

"Then we ......" Before He Sheng finished speaking, the voice outside suddenly changed, and she opened the door to take a look.

The people outside were disappointed and sighed.

He Sheng stopped Xiao Er who was passing by, "Xiao Er, what happened to them?" ”

Xiao Er said: "That's the case, guest officer, it was said that there was an assassination when the imperial car arrived at the city gate, and the search was canceled ......"

Zhao Heqiao and the three of them were suspicious, but they didn't dare to speculate.

Xie Xiaoshuai said: "I'll take a look!" ”

Zhao Heqiao grabbed him, "You have already been exposed once, don't rush to do it again, we don't know what Cang Zhengqi is going to do now." “

"Then we'll have to brake statically now." He Sheng finished what he simply didn't finish.

Zhao He's buckw.

They stayed at the inn and inquired about the news of the palace from time to time, but there was no reply, until the next day, news came that Concubine Xiu collaborated with the enemy, assassinated Cang Zhengqi, and had been imprisoned in the cold palace.

"How so!" Xie Xiaoshuai slapped the table angrily, he was now sure that the assassination was completely made up by Cang Zhengzhen.

"Rest easy." He Sheng poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xie Xiaoshuai.

She looked at Zhao Heqiao, who hadn't said a word since just now.

"Sister Buckwheat."

"Well," the more it came to this time, the calmer Zhao Heqiao became, "If we mess up, we will be proud of the enemy." ”

Xie Xiaoshuai asked, "Sister Qiao, what should I do now?" ”

Zhao Heqiao spread out the rice paper, lifted the pen and fell, and said while writing: "Tonight, you accompany me to the palace, and I want to negotiate with Cang Zhengqi." ”

"Directly facing him?" Xie Xiaoshuai worried, "Once it falls into his hands, I don't know what will happen......

"Don't worry, I'm sure." Zhao Heqiao didn't raise his head, and continued to write something on the paper.

He Sheng pulled Xie Xiaoshuai, who was about to speak, "Your sister Qiao is not weak, and with us, what are you afraid of." She glanced at the first few lines of Zhao Heqiao's words, and probably understood something.

Xie Xiaoshuai was a little confused at the moment and didn't notice it.

After Zhao Heqiao finished writing the content, he blew it, put it in an envelope, and handed it to Xiao Shuai, "This is a letter to my brother, and I gave it to him after I went to the palace." ”

Xie Xiaoshuai chewed a few words in Zhao Heqiao's words, and said in surprise: "You have to stay there!" He shook his head, very disagreeable.

"Absolutely not!"

Zhao Heqiao ignored his objection and said seriously to Hesheng: "When I am not there, Xiaoshuai is in charge here, and you help him." "It's an entrustment and a request.

She didn't use words like detention and hostage because she didn't want to exacerbate Xie Xiaoshuai's emotions, but Xie Xiaoshuai was young and vigorous, and his mouth repeated words of opposition.

He Sheng simply covered Xie Xiaoshuai's mouth, glared at him, and said, "Listen to Sister Buck first." ”

Zhao Heqiao bowed his head, and then said: "It's okay for Cang Zhengqi to do this, giving us an excuse to appear here, and we can also take the opportunity to divert his attention." ”

Xie Xiaoshuai was covered by He Sheng's mouth, and he didn't say a word, although he couldn't hear it clearly, but they knew that what he said was that it was too dangerous for you and me.

"It's because I'm there that I'm the most useful." Zhao Heqiao said seriously.

Only she can successfully deceive Cang Zheng.

Xie Xiaoshuai finally broke Hesheng's hand, "Then I'll be with you," he pointed at Hesheng, "Anyway, she's so powerful, she can be on her own......" He saw that disappointment flashed on Zhao Heqiao's face, and his tone weakened.

Zhao Heqiao walked into Xie Xiaoshuai and raised her hand suddenly, and the momentum made Xie Xiaoshuai and He Sheng think that she was going to beat him.

As a result, Zhao Heqiao's palm suddenly unloaded when it was about to reach Xie Xiaoshuai's face, and just patted it gently, "How old are you, isn't it embarrassing to be slapped?" ”

Xie Xiaoshuai looked at her stunned.

"No matter how powerful He Sheng is, he is an outsider, my brother is not here, such an important position, if I don't give it to you, who else can I give it to?" Who else could she trust?

"Where have you placed those who were born and died for us? Can Hesheng do it for me or you? ”

Zhao Heqiao's rhetorical questions made Xie Xiaoshuai speechless, he shrugged his shoulders, obviously not saying anything against it.

He Sheng scratched her cheek with her fingers on the side and laughed dryly, although it was true, the word "outsider" that Zhao Heqiao said just now still hit her a little, but, "Sister Qiao, don't worry, I can't give up the place where I can help!" ”

"Thank you." Zhao Heqiao held her hand and said seriously.

So many things have happened to them together, and she is watching what He Sheng does, no matter what purpose He Sheng has, she has no regrets about this friend. (To be continued.)
