Chapter 403: Gunpowder
After eating, he asked Bai Lu to remove the dishes and chopsticks, and served Yan Xu to rinse his mouth with fragrant tea, and then Linglong made the bed again, and the two leaned on the pillow to talk.
Yan Xu whispered: "Do you remember Yuwang Mansion?" I've taken you there. ”
Of course Linglong remembered, she nodded, she still remembered that there was a small courtyard in King Yu's mansion, which seemed to hide people, and when they went that day, the stone lamps in the garden were on, and it was clear that someone had lit the lamps in advance to facilitate their entry and exit.
She asked, "Where did you go in the evening?" Why don't you take me? ”
Yan Xu stretched out his arm, took her over, and let her head rest on his shoulder: "There are quite a few people going tonight, and it's not convenient to bring you with me." ”
"Are you still hurt when there are too many people?"
Yan Xu said: "I was careless, I visited the Yuwang Mansion several times, and I didn't find anything, but I didn't expect to encounter hard stubble this time." ”
How many times have you probed, and you have to bring a bunch of people to probe again?
Linglong didn't speak, and listened to him quietly, she added hosta flowers to the bath water, and Yan Xu had a faint fragrance on her body, which was originally very awkward on the man's body, but this fragrance emanated from Yan Xu's body, but it made people feel at ease.
But what this bear child does is always worrying.
"Do you remember that I told you that the second brother got a letter written by Zhang Xiaoguang to King Yu back then? I set up someone in the second brother's mansion, but I didn't find the letter, but yesterday I got the information that King Fu's people came to the capital and entered the palace of King Yu. ”
"Fu Wang? King Fu in Longxi? Linglong asked.
"Yes, it's his people. It's because of the fake victims who were on Junyi Street last time. I'm just starting to pay attention to it. It just so happened that among the people who came this time were the fourth and seventh children. ”
"You've been staring at people?"
Yan Xu nodded: "They are known as the Ten Heroes of Longxi, five years ago, the eldest of them committed a crime and wanted to be beheaded after the autumn, but King Fu exempted him from the death penalty, and gave all ten of them a background and a hereditary military position." These ten people followed the king with all their hearts. The identity of the old man surnamed Liu is even more unusual, he is one of King Fu's staff, his daughter is King Fu's concubine, and has given birth to a boy. ”
Linglong understood in seconds, but was a little puzzled: "The old man is old. And he has no power to tie the chicken. The last time they took advantage of the chaos of the disaster to sneak into the capital, why did they take him with them? ”
Yan Xu said: "You asked the point, Liu Ye called Liu Yijue, before that." They went to Henan first. Instigated the victims to go to Beijing to make trouble. Although the Ten Heroes of Longxi are brave and ruthless, if they want to do this kind of thing, they also need Liu Yijue to go out. From Henan to the capital. They not only brought the victims, but also secretly brought ten boxes of gunpowder into the capital, but our whereabouts were discovered, and before leaving the capital, they hid the ten boxes of gunpowder in Yuwang's mansion. ”
Something seemed to flash through Linglong's mind, like an invisible thread, stringing many things together.
"That small courtyard in King Yu's mansion is hiding your people, right?"
Yan Xu said with a smile: "I'm always not very worried about Yuwang Mansion, so I let people guard it for three days and two ends, but it doesn't stay for long, but it just so happens that the day you go, they haven't left yet." ”
It happened that he didn't leave, he was just hiding in the dark to protect the prince.
No wonder he didn't let himself pass, he was really deceived by him at that time.
Linglong asked: "They hid ten boxes of gunpowder for more than a year, and now they can't wait, and they came back from Longxi to take out the gunpowder?" ”
"Yes, I brought Du Kang over, and there were dozens of people, I originally wanted to catch a live mouth, but I didn't expect these people to be ruthless, except for a few who died, the rest all ran away."
"The blood on your body is Du Kang's?"
"No, that's the eighth guy, that guy actually died in the arms of this king, how disgusting do you say this."
Linglong's little face wrinkled: "You didn't say it earlier, I still touched the bloody clothes." ”
Yan Xu laughed, and after a while, said regretfully: "It's a pity that I scared the snake today, and kept the gunpowder for them in vain, not only did I not catch a single live mouth, but they won't ask for those gunpowder anymore." ”
Linglong thought about it, hesitated for a while, and decided to say it: "I don't think their target is really on the ten boxes of gunpowder, they just want people to know that there is gunpowder hidden in Yuwang's mansion. ”
"What did you say?" Yan Xuteng sat up straight, and even sat up with the Linglong in his arms.
"Think about it, since they can use the victims to make trouble, and bring this gunpowder into the inner city, it is not difficult to find a safe place to hide, but they chose Yuwang's Mansion. King Yu is not dead, he is still in the black locust alley. If someone makes a small noise with a little gunpowder in the Black Locust Alley, Jin Yiwei will think that someone is trying to save King Yu. ”
Yan Xu's face became more and more heavy: "Whoever Jinyiwei wants to target, he can always keep an eye on something, I'm afraid that there has just been a disturbance in Robinia Hutong, and they have already gone to Yuwang's Mansion to dig three feet into the ground." ”
Linglong smiled: "At that time, the crime of rebellion of Prince Yu is a certainty, and if you want to continue to stay in the black locust alley to recuperate, I am afraid that it will not work, and it will not work if you don't drink that cup of poisonous wine." ”
Yan Xu dusted the pillow to the side, hugged Linglong and lay down again, but never spoke again.
The sky was faint, and a faint morning light came in through the curtains, and Linglong took a nap, but saw Yan Xu lying flat, with his eyes wide open, and he hadn't fallen asleep yet.
"Lord Wang, you haven't slept all night, hurry up and sleep now, I'll let Shuangxi bring a message to Xiaoshunzi, and if there is anything, it will be postponed until the afternoon."
Yan Xu felt sour eyelids at this time, and muttered: "I just want to sleep, but I still can't sleep." ”
Linglong asked: "If King Fu is really harboring evil intentions, you might as well take this matter to your father, even if you have three heads and six arms, at the feet of this son of heaven, you can't be too public, and you won't be calculated, and you will splash dirty water on your head." ”
Yan Xu's brows moved slightly, and he sighed: "If my father knew that I was investigating the prince's affairs, he would definitely beat Shanchen half to death, he had already fallen ill and couldn't be beaten anymore." ”
The prince made a mistake, and the father did not beat his son, but he wanted to beat the people under him to death.
"After all, more than ten years have passed since the prince's affairs, and my father didn't let me investigate, why do you have to investigate it yourself?" Linglong was a little puzzled, Yan Xu was a thief, and those who were thieves were not righteous and brave.
Yan Xu turned his head sideways and kissed her forehead: "They all say that I am the reincarnation of the crown prince, of course I have to figure out what is going on, and I am the same as the crown prince, I am the son of my father, if I don't understand these things, maybe the next one to die in front of my father and queen mother will be me." ”
Linglong's heart tightened, she clutched Yan Xu's bedclothes tightly, and didn't say anything.
