*——————*11——*————**
There was no wind or moon on this night, and the night was as dark as sticky ink, not only extremely black and thick, but also as if there was a stagnant smell that made people unable to breathe.
More than 30 miles out of the east gate of Wuyang City, there is an abandoned grange. Because the shrubs around Zhuangzi are full of thistles, and there are often poisonous snakes and insects with red ribs in the shrubs, passers-by rest their feet or ordinary people gather firewood, so they all walk around.
The outskirts of the Grange are barren and decadent, but ...... Behind these broken walls and shrubs, there are more than a dozen stone houses.
The thatched green on the roof has faded, apparently newly built.
Captain Zhou hurriedly ran to the first room on his left, and as soon as he stepped into the house, he was accidentally hit by the threshold, and couldn't help but stumble forward a few steps.
"What's so alarming, huh?" After asking this, Huo Shen frowned, and asked again: "Did something happen to Da Lang?" ”
The night before, the four princesses first disliked the abundance of mosquitoes, and then shouted that the food was rude...... Huo Yanyi drove her away. The four princesses cried to Huo Shuang, and the father and son had a big quarrel, and then Huo Yanyi took two attendants to leave the grange.
After a night, the man still had to return, so Huo Shen sent someone to find him. At this moment, Captain Zhou came over in a panic, and Huo had a gut feeling that something had happened.
"Will ...... Checkmate. After stammering and shouting this, Captain Zhou simply threw himself on the desk: "My subordinates searched for Da Langjun but didn't get it, so I went into the city to find it...... I found the servant of the Chang family, and the man said...... Da Lang Jun is in ...... In prison. ”
"Phew!" With a sound, Captain Zhou was startled: "General! ”
Huo Shengping's palm clenched into a fist at the moment, and because it was so close, Captain Zhou even heard his fist bones "gurgling".
"Toki...... How dare he! Someone sent an order to Xinyi, chopped off He Yi's right hand and sent it. ”
"General." Captain Zhou interjected: "Chang Yuan grabbed Da Lang Jun, just to exchange Da Lang Jun for He Yi, as long as the surname He is in our hands, Da Lang Jun will be fine for the time being." It's just that...... It's just that....... ”
"Don't spit out." Huo injured the blue tendons on his forehead, gritted his teeth and looked at Captain Zhou: "Tell me something quickly." ”
"Subordinate...... When he left the city, he was attacked and killed by the private soldiers of Gaoyang Mansion, and when he went, he had to come back by his subordinates. Since he said it, Captain Zhou simply said with a heart: "Gao Yang's attendant's words...... Let the general go to the city and cast ...... Pitch ...... Fall. ”
"Phew!" With a loud bang, Huo Shen flipped the table: "Every year, Zhao Xian and him send ten thousand taels of gold...... Will he cut himself off? ”
Captain Zhou shrunk his neck.
In the dark of night, a snake will climb to the corner of the house, and the stone wall will be shaken, and the snake will raise its head and "sizzle" and stick out its tongue.
Seventy or eighty miles away, Dashi Town.
"Childe, someone often sent a letter." Yuan Shan took out a scroll of paper from his sleeve pocket and handed it over: "According to the messenger, Chang Fu Yin has sent the Huo family to prison. ”
"Hmm." Jiu Gongzi raised his hand to take it, twisted his thumb and two fingers, and when he saw it, the corners of his lips hooked, and he seemed to smile and said: "He moves fast." ”
"He Yi returned to the house, and Mrs. Chang fainted a few times. Thinking about it, Chang Fu Yin is also angry in his heart. Yuan Shan walked behind Jiu Gongzi, suppressed his voice and muttered: "The servant also met the attendant of Gaoyang Mansion...... attacked and killed more than a dozen people at the east gate, and then ...... and then they pursued eastward. According to the child, ....... ”
East City Gate ...... The light in the eyes of the ninth prince flashed: "I think it is Huo Shen's nest in the east." Speaking of this, he closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them again, two smiles appeared in his eyes: "More than 30 miles out of the east gate, there is a grange, because several people were killed by snakes, and it has been abandoned for a long time...... Huo Hurt has a ** hiding there. ”
His tone, first a few words, and at the end, was very determined.
Yuan Shan couldn't help grinning: "Childe, since you know where he is hiding, why don't you go and catch him back with a few people from Iron Thorn Fengtai." ”
"Not busy." Jiu Gongzi took a sip of tea idly, and when he put down the teacup, Fang raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows: "Let Meng Shen go to the Grange to see how many people he has, remember, you can only inquire, you don't need to start." Go for it. ”
When he spoke, the voice was low and cold...... Yuan Shan knew that whenever the ninth prince spoke in this tone, he said that he would not allow others to disobey at all.
Yuanshan's face was solemn, and he bowed and said, "Yes, the servant knows what the son means." The servant retired. ”
The back of the ninth son's hand turned outward, and he lazily fanned it twice.
Yuanshan bowed and retreated.
At dawn, two fast horses galloped in, and when they reached the bamboo forest, they slowed down.
Outside, the sound of hooves trampling, gradually approaching. The ninth prince opened his eyes, held his right hand against his lips, and yawned lazily. After a yawn, the door squeaked.
Yuan Shan closed the door with his backhand, and as soon as he bowed down, the ninth prince asked lightly, "What's the situation, huh?" ”
"Hui Gongzi." Yuan Shan said in a low voice: "Lord Gao Yang sent five hundred private soldiers, and Chang Fu Yin personally brought a thousand soldiers there. When the servant came back, he met Zhou Qiao, the eldest gentleman of the Zhou family, with four or five hundred people, and depending on the situation, I was afraid that he would also go there. ”
The distant mountains point to the east.
The Ninth Prince did not speak.
After a while, the ninth prince glanced at the distant mountains obliquely, and asked lightly, "The person who came back with you, why didn't he come to see me, huh?" ”
If you drop on your forehead, you know that you can't hide it from the person in front of you. Yuanshan thought about it for a long time, and decided to tell the truth: "Childe, Fengtai didn't mean to do it. The four princesses changed their guard clothes, and happened to run to Fengtai's hiding place, and Fengtai was ...... That one...... Hey! ”
Seeing that he "hehe" a few handfuls, the monopoly on his head was almost scratched, and the corners of Jiugongzi's lips were slightly hooked, and he asked teasingly: "So...... Feng Tai killed her, huh? ”
"No...... Kill her. Seeing that the ninth prince's face was fine, Yuan Shan couldn't help but be bold: "Fengtai only cut off one of her legs." Later, when he took off the face towel and saw that it was her, Fengtai didn't do it again. ”
"Hmm." Jiu Gongzi stood up and stretched, and when he felt his muscles and bones stretch out, Fang said casually: "Are Fengtai and the four princes and daughters in court?" ”
Whether it is Gao Yangjun or Chang Yuan, for this big move, when Chen Qing reports to the king, he will use the excuse of saving the four princesses. If Fengtai slashed the four princesses, and then she was saved by Gao Yang or Chang Yuan...... When the king is crowned, he must be suspicious of Wang.
has been following Jiugongzi for more than ten years, and Yuan Shan can hear what he said.
Yuan Shan came to the side of the ninth prince and muttered in a small voice: "Fengtai will leave a handle for others." It's just that Gongzi didn't let her do it, so Fengtai had to cover her face with a black scarf, and dragged her to the middle of the road while she was drowsy...... Cough! The servant and Fengtai watched hundreds of soldiers and horses step over. ”
There was no moon in the night, and the face to face was dark and I couldn't see the appearance clearly, and the team of people and horses were hurriedly roaring and hurriedly grabbing people to grab credit, and the middle of the road was ...... It is trampling all the way to the past.
The Four Princesses died.
Huo Shen can no longer blackmail the king, in other words, he betrayed the king's information to Huo Shen, and probed Huo Shuang's secret to reveal the king's death.
There are only twenty or thirty guards in the abandoned village, and now Gao Yangjun, Chang Yuan and the Zhou family, a total of more than 2,000 private soldiers, Huo was injured...... Will you still run away?
