Chapter Seventy-Four: The Old Prince
It was not Yue Xiao who was fighting outside the cemetery. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Yue Xiao did appear in the northern frontier, but he was quickly recognized, Yue Xiao was a serious offender in the imperial court, his portraits were all over the northern cities, and his portraits were posted at important checkpoints, so there were many people who knew him.
Yue Xiao was chased and intercepted by the northern country, and there was no way to go deep into the northern interior to track down Chen Yu Tangyi's whereabouts, so he had to go back to the southern camp and send someone over to inquire about Chen Yu's news.
Since it's not Yue Xiao outside the cemetery, who is it?
Although there was a moon, the person who was fighting with the people of the Yang Mansion was a masked man, who couldn't see his face clearly, and his body was thin.
When Feiyan went to chase Chen Yu Tangyi, she once took a detour to see it. This person is using a sword, by the moonlight, the sword is shining cold, flying around, this person's skills are agile, flashing and moving, with one enemy ten, but also with ease.
This must be a sword, Feiyan thought, I don't know what the relationship between this masked man and Chen Yu is.
It doesn't matter who he is, as long as he is not an enemy, Feiyan didn't think much about it, she chased Chen Yu Tangyi.
When Feiyan arrived there, their fight had just ended, several corpses were lying there, motionless, Feiyan chased after them, obviously watching them flash around the corner, but no one was gone, Feiyan chased for a while, not even a human figure, Feiyan knew that she was thrown off by Chen Yu and him.
As long as Chen Yu is okay, after this assassination, he will definitely be alert, Feiyan thought.
Feiyan hurriedly turned around to the cemetery, where the fight was not over. Feiyan hid in the dark and observed for a while, she wanted to see who was the person who saved Chen Yu.
She looked at it for a long time, and finally saw the doorway, it turned out that the masked man was playing, although a dozen or so people surrounded him, but he danced his sword in the middle, as if dancing, but he used his sword to block the attacking weapon, and did not mean to fight back.
Feiyan is a little strange, who is this masked man, why did he choose to come here on this moonlit night to play, teasing a group of people who play with him, if he is not skilled in swordsmanship, I am afraid that he will already become a ghost under the knife of others, these people who round him up, but the knife goes to his fatal place.
Feiyan observed for a while, this person's swordsmanship suddenly accelerated, and the people around him retreated one after another, only to see him jump up, the tip of the sword pointed forward, and in front of him, several people's swords landed on the spot.
Feiyan was horrified, this trick is quite brave, it is the legendary "Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers" desperate move, when she was young, she once followed the master to go out to travel, on the way to encounter a strong man robbery, they set a trap, so that they fell into the net of catching wild beasts, people were hung in the air, life hung by a thread, there was an old man appeared in front of them in time, rescued, only to save their master and apprentice two lives. At that time, this old man made the swordsmanship of "Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers".
The old man saved them, and without speaking, he turned around and disappeared into the forest. Later, the master told her that this old man was a person from Yongtianmen, so this trick was called "Tiannu Mountain Flower", which was a trick of Yongtianmen.
"Remember, in the future, that when you meet someone who uses this trick, whoever he is, do not oppose them!"
Feiyan was still young at that time, and she didn't understand Master's words, she wanted to ask why, but Master never said, she mentioned Yongtianmen, and her face was quite serious.
Thinking of this, Feiyan looked at the scene again.
I saw the masked man fly up, and the person in front of him flew out five meters away, fell to the ground, and with a thud, he didn't move.
Look at the masked man again, he didn't take the road to escape, but turned around, the tip of the sword returned again, when Dangdang made a few sounds, and heard the sound of the knife falling to the ground, the whole process was completed in the blink of an eye, and the people around him didn't understand, only to see that the masked man had run out of more than ten meters.
"Shoot the arrows!"
More than a dozen people took out their bows and arrows and shot in the direction of the masked man's escape, but the masked man was long gone.
Good skills! Feiyan shouted in her heart, she went down the ravine, down the mountain, at the foot of the mountain, she finally saw the masked man, only to see him calmly fluttering the dust on his body, looked up the mountain, turned and left.
Feiyan remained silent and followed the masked man closely.
Feiyan has been following the masked man to a mansion, this mansion is outside the city, Feiyan knows, this is the mansion of Zhao Yuankai, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, only to see the masked man call open the door and dodge in.
Zhao Yuankai is Zhao Yuanling's younger brother, and after Li Ju became the emperor, he specially summoned Zhao Yuankai and gave him the position of secretary of the Ministry of Rites. When he did this, he could be regarded as giving an explanation to Zhao Yuanling.
Could it be that the Zhao Mansion also knew that Chen Yu had returned to the capital? Feiyan thought.
Feiyan climbed up the wall, landed gently, and followed the masked man to a hall, Feiyan quietly approached the wall of the hall, hid behind the window, moistened the paper with her saliva, and broke a hole with her fingers, through the small hole, Feiyan looked inside.
"Second uncle, why haven't you slept yet?" I saw the masked man just now speak.
Feiyan saw that this person was not very old, about seventeen or eighteen years old, tall, fair-skinned, and dressed in black. He placed his sword on the table and addressed the man who sat at the top of the table, who was nearly forty years old.
"Bao'er, why did you go out alone again? In the middle of the night, if you have anything to do, how can I explain it to your father? ”
This person is Zhao Yuankai, he touched his beard, frowned, and glanced at the person named Bao'er with dissatisfaction.
"What the second uncle taught, but we who practice martial arts, what is this, if we don't even have this bit of guts, how can we become a big thing."
The next words, Feiyan didn't pay attention to listening, but frowned, Zhao Yuankai called him Bao'er, and he called Zhao Yuankai Second Uncle, could it be that this is Zhao Qingbao, the son of the Queen Mother? Are they all so big?
Feiyan calculated in her heart, it has been nearly ten years, and it should be so big.
In the past ten years, since his mother Wang Xinhui was taken into the palace by Li Ju, he has never met his mother again, after Zhao Yuanling's death, he was sent by Zhao Yuankai to a mountain to learn martial arts, as for which mountain, Zhao Yuankai did not say anyone, that is, even his sister-in-law Wang Xinhui did not say.
Zhao Yuankai explained to Wang Xinhui that in order to ensure Zhao Chunbao's safety, the fewer people who know his whereabouts, the better. In fact, Wang Xinhui knew very well in her heart that Zhao Yuankai deliberately did not let her know. Her current embarrassing identity is said to be the queen mother, it is better to say that she is a wife of Li Ju, she has indeed embarrassed the Zhao family, but everyone has not pierced this layer of window paper, everyone opens and closes their eyes, and it is not such a thing.
But Zhao Yuanling's son Zhao Qingbao, Zhao Yuankai tried his best to separate him from his mother, he couldn't control what Wang Xinhui did, but Zhao Qingbao, he had the right to manage as an uncle, which was related to the face of the Zhao family, and he didn't allow Zhao Chunbao to grow up in such an embarrassing atmosphere, so Zhao Chunbao didn't enter the palace for a day.
Zhao Yuankai deliberately concealed Zhao Xinhui's sending Zhao Chunbao away, because he was afraid that when she wanted her son, she would let people recruit him into the palace. Zhao Yuankai did not hide from Zhao Chunbao about Wang Xinhui's possession by Li Ju, but told him directly and forbade him to enter the palace to see his mother.
Zhao Chunbao felt humiliated in his heart, but there was nothing he could do, he was the emperor, and he had no way to stop Li Ju from taking possession of his mother.
Zhao Yuankai said to him, "You don't have to think about anything now, hurry up and go up the mountain, practice martial arts first, and don't fall behind in cultural classes, there is a gentleman there who specializes in teaching you, you just remember one thing, this emperor was originally your father, you are the prince, I won't tell you anything else, I think you will understand what I mean." ”
At that time, Zhao Chunbao, after listening to Zhao Yuankai's words, seemed to realize something, his heart was very excited, yes, he was supposed to be the prince, but now he ended up like this, his mother was occupied by others, he had to endure this tone, he secretly made up his mind to practice his skills, and then plan the future with his uncle.
Now that Zhao Chunbao has returned from school, he has been in Zhao Mansion for a while.
He often haunts at night, going back and forth to the residences of various ministers.
It was also a coincidence that the people of the Yang Mansion who were going to do something to Chen Yu tonight were bumped into by him, and from their conversation, they learned that Chen Yu was going to worship at Chen Jing's tomb, and they were here to assassinate Chen Yu, so he followed.
