Chapter 235: Inside and Outside the City Gate

The dark night is the most beautiful protective color, and the dark night is shrouded in the moonlight, which has a hazy and mysterious feeling. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The officers and soldiers wearing the armor of the Jingzhao Mansion of the Eastern Zhao Dynasty, and the guards embroidered with the emblem of the Four Princes' Mansions, holding burning torches high in their hands, escorted a few horses and pulled a luxurious carriage that shone with golden light in the night, and drove slowly and orderly from the brightly lit Xianyang City to the heavily guarded city gate.

At this time, the gate of Xianyang City had already fallen into the bolt, and the city gate was closed and heavily guarded.

The guards with spears in their hands, looking at the huge array of horses in the distance, carefully identified the people who came in the dark by the lights of the city gate, and asked loudly, "The whole city is curfew, who is coming?" If you want to go out of the city, please be early tomorrow, and please return to the city as soon as possible! ā€

Because the night was too dark and too far away, the guards didn't see it too clearly, but they just looked at the strong lineup that didn't look like ordinary people, so it was much more polite, if it was a flat-headed people, they would be scolded back.

Among the guards of the four princes guarding the window of the luxurious carriage, one of them took out a token from his waist and held it high, letting the torch illuminate the token, "The car is still His Royal Highness the Four Princes, and if there is an emergency, you must return to Beijing, escorted by the brothers of Jingzhao Mansion, don't open the city gate quickly!" ā€

As soon as the guards heard this, they strode forward, carefully identifying the token in the hands of the guards, it was indeed the guard token of the Four Princes' Mansion, and then looking at the officers and soldiers wearing armor on the tall horses, there was no doubt that they were indeed the officers and soldiers of the Jingzhao Mansion.

Today, I heard that His Royal Highness the Four Princes did take the officers and soldiers to Xianyang today, although I don't know what happened, but the battle in front of me shows that there is a good chance that His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is in the carriage, and at this time, in the middle of the night, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is in a hurry to return to Beijing, is it because of the disappearance of King Chen?

Thinking of this, the guard's attitude became more and more respectful, and he bowed down and saluted the carriage with his spear in his hand, "Your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, please wait, the little one will open the city gate immediately!" ā€

After saying that, the guard took out the small flag on his waist and signaled to the guards on the city wall at the city gate, "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is back to Beijing, open the city gate quickly!" ā€

In ancient times, there was usually a fasting at night, unless it was a person with a special and noble status, who could have the privilege of opening the city gate to leave or enter like the four princes.

Otherwise, if you want to break in, you will only be shot into a honeycomb by the guards on the city wall.

The guards on the castle tower put away their bows and arrows aimed at the four princes, and the guards at the city gate slowly opened the heavy gate with a heavy squeak.

When the coachman of the carriage saw the gate coming, he immediately whipped the horse's rump on the horse's hips, and the horse was in pain, raised his hooves and ran towards the dark city gate.

The guards put away the tokens in their hands, said 'Youlao' to the guards, and then rode their horses and torches and followed the large army out of the city, and the speed of the horse team was extremely fast, like a fire dragon quickly disappeared outside Xianyang City.

In the luxurious carriage shining with golden light under the light of torches, the purple figure of the fourth prince Zhao Xuanxu leaned on the inside of the spacious carriage, and his deep eyes looked closely at the mysterious young man sitting opposite, and then looked worriedly at King Chen, who was still unconscious lying in the center of the carriage.

Ling Yi ...... Shaofeng, why hasn't the prince's brother woken up yet? ā€

In order to avoid the officers and soldiers of Jingzhao Mansion Yin outside, Zhao Xuanxu used internal force to transmit his voice, and only the young man opposite could hear what he said.

The mysterious boy knelt beside King Chen under the veil, his white little hand lightly rested on King Chen's wrist, and a wide ink-colored robe did not fit well, a bit like a child wearing adult clothes, but it was not ridiculous, but there was a sense of youth and old age.

"Ben Gongzi said that he was fine, but he was knocked unconscious, and he may not have been sleeping well recently, so he has been sleeping!"

The slightly hoarse voice was as thin as a mosquito, and the cold eyes were as magnificent as jewels, which made people very familiar, who else could it be if it was not Ling Shaofeng, who was incarnated as a man and assumed the name of Fire Phoenix!

His jet-black hair was also tied into a ponytail with a ribbon at will, and his heroic appearance was really indistinguishable, and his cold eyes swept Zhao Xuanxu, who had asked him no less than four times, and sat in the carriage with his kneeling legs changing postures, and began to sleep with his eyes closed.

Zhao Xuanxu was teased by Ling Shaofeng's words, and he was even more angry in his heart when he didn't want to see Ling Shaofeng, if he hadn't thought that she Ling Shaofeng was alone, and single-handedly broke into the small pavilion to save his brother, he couldn't wait to throw her out dressed as a man, so as not to hurt his eyes and hold his heart.

Ling Shaofeng didn't care how bad Zhao Xuanxu's attitude towards her was, and when she relaxed, she hurried to close her eyes and recuperate, for fear that there would be any more chaos on the way.

It is not a trivial matter for King Chen to be kidnapped, but he has done it so well, if it is not that the forces behind him are too strong, or someone is secretly fueling the troubles, maybe, there is still a tough battle to fight when he returns to Handan.

In Handan City, the lively and noisy Qinglou Chu Pavilion gradually quieted down, and the glimmer of the early morning gradually emerged from the horizon, the sun illuminated the dark night, and the dawn had arrived.

The quiet morning is very quiet, with the occasional rooster barking or the whispering of early risers.

Located in the East Street where dignitaries and nobles live, it is quiet and picturesque, and the streets are lined with luxurious or quiet or exquisite or heroic official mansions, which are so expensive that they are not generally able to live.

The road was wide enough for three carriages to run side by side, because it was still early in the morning, and the streets were silent, except for the occasional palanquin carried in the direction of the palace, and the people who got up early to buy food, and basically no one else walked.

In a high-ranking and dignitary mansion, a delicate-looking girl is lying in a delicate boudoir, sleeping quietly, the breeze blows and lifts layers of yarn tents, especially the dream-like beautiful girl gently opens her eyes.

I saw that her skin was like clotted fat, as bright as the autumn moon, fairy and jade, peerless beauty, bright and delicate, noble and elegant but pitiful, and she was really beautiful and delicious.

The maid outside heard the movement in the house, and immediately opened the curtain with toiletries and walked in, one of them stepped forward and respectfully stretched out his hand to lift the pink gauze tent, "Miss woke up, I slept well last night!" ā€

Another maid walked to the basin rack with a basin of hot water and placed it away.

"Miss woke up so early today!"

The other two maids also put down their belongings, and turned around to fetch dresses for the young lady in the closet, and several of them served the beautiful girl to get up.

"Well, it's not bad!" The girl's pretty little face smiled, got up in a white obscene shirt, and opened her arms to let a few maids help her dress.

Suddenly, a cautious voice came from outside the door, "Tell Miss, Qinglong has sent news that the plan has failed, but someone has secretly led the people from the official mansion over, and the purpose of coming can be regarded as achieved." ā€

When the girl heard this, she looked proud for a moment, and displeasure rose in her heart, thinking that the plan had gone wrong, she glared fiercely at the maid who was shrinking outside the door, "Useless things, this little thing can't be done, go out and investigate, and get back immediately if there is the latest news, retreat!" ā€

When the maid heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and was glad that her short-tempered master did not punish her, and respectfully bowed in the direction of the house, and then withdrew from the quiet and delicate courtyard. "No!" (To be continued.) )
