In the lobby of the Yamen of the Youzhou political envoy, the Youzhou political envoy was pacing back and forth anxiously in the lobby with a somewhat gray beard. Ordered the blockade of Youzhou City, even now he doesn't know whether what he did was right or wrong, and what the consequences would be. However, now that it has been done, there is naturally no turning back from the arrow.

Taking advantage of King Yan's absence in Youzhou to make trouble is indeed unkind. But he has been in the officialdom for half his life, and he can be deeply used from the first emperor to the present majesty, and he is naturally not a nerd who only knows morality and righteousness. As a courtier, it is natural to serve the king. As for the consequences... Qi Shuo closed his eyes and stopped thinking. He only knew that this was His Majesty's order, even if there was no will of His Majesty, once King Yan rebelled in the future, he would not be able to escape from a death to repay the king. In that case, why can't you fight to the death?

As for the consequences, the left and right are just the success and defeat of the king!

"Lord Qiyu, Princess Yan is here." A guard hurried in and said.

Qi Shuo's eyes flashed slightly, "Princess Yan? Princess Yan is the only one? ”

The guard shook his head, "Princess Yan has people, and... And an extremely beautiful woman, presumably... Lord of Star City. "Although not everyone has seen the county lord of Xingcheng, the people of the Yamen of Youzhou are definitely everyone who has heard of this somewhat strange county lord.

"Lord of Star City?" Qi Shuo frowned, nodded and said, "Please come in, princess." ”

"Yes."

In just a moment, Princess Yan walked in quickly with Nangong Mo and his party. Before entering the door, Princess Yan's voice sounded first, "Lord Qi! What exactly do you want to do? Qi Shuo looked straight and greeted him with a smile, "Xia Guan has seen Princess Yan and the county lord of Xingcheng. Congratulations to the county lord for having a noble son and daughter, the lower official failed to come to the mansion to congratulate him in person, and I hope the county lord will forgive me. ”

Nangong Mo lowered his eyes and said with a faint smile: "Lord Qi is serious, don't dare." Qi Shuo didn't entangle with Nangong Mo, he looked sideways at Princess Yan and smiled: "Princess, what's wrong?" came over so angrily, could it be that I, the political envoy of the yamen, did not have long eyes to offend the princess? ”

Princess Yan sneered and said, "Qi Shuo, you don't have to talk to Concubine Ben, you sent people to block the entire Youzhou City and outside, what do you want to do?" ”

Qi Shuo showed just the right amount of surprise on his face, "Blockade the entire Youzhou? The princess is just afraid that she misunderstood the lower official, right? Xiaguan District is a Wenchen, although the first emperor and His Majesty trust the herdsman to guard Youzhou, but he never has the right to mobilize troops and horses without authorization. Qi Shuo directly pretended not to know, and looked at Princess Yan with a blank face.

It's a pity that Princess Yan is not an ignorant boudoir woman. In the face of Qi Shuo's prevarication, he only showed a slightly mocking smile, "Dare to do it and dare not admit it, but it is not the style of Lord Qi." ”

Qi Shuo just smiled, touched his nose and didn't speak. There are things that can be said but not done, and some things that can be done but not said.

Princess Yan made a special trip to this trip, naturally not to gossip with Qi Shuo, but said coldly: "According to what Lord Qi said, these things have nothing to do with you." Qi Shuo hurriedly said: "The princess is wise. ”

Princess Yan sneered, "In that case, if Concubine Ben does something to Lord Qi now, no one should care?" ”

The smile on Qi Shuo's face suddenly stiffened, he didn't expect that Princess Yan, who had always been dignified and magnificent, would suddenly say such unreasonable words. Qiang smiled: "The princess has a noble status, how can she worry about the lower officials?" This time the matter is really not what the lower officials want, and I hope the princess will forgive me. Please rest assured, the princess, no one will dare to touch the princess and anyone from the Yan Palace. ”

Princess Yan sneered and was silent. Of course he won't move them now, what's the benefit of moving them now? It will only make King Yan, who has hundreds of thousands of troops patrolling outside, even more angry. But when the two sides really tore their faces and came to the city, they were the best way to threaten the prince.

Qi Shuo continued: "Your Majesty has a decree, since His Royal Highness King Yan refuses to go to Jinling, please ask the princess, the two princes, and the three young ladies to take the first step. Of course... There are also Princess Changping and the Lord of Xingcheng. His Majesty said that he missed the eldest princess very much. ”

"Immediately withdraw your people to the concubine, and the concubine will leave the city soon." Princess Yan said sharply.

Qi Shuo's eyelids didn't move, and he said lightly: "I don't know what the princess is going to do when she goes out of the city at this time?" ”

Princess Yan raised her eyebrows, "What does this concubine do, I need to tell you?" ”

Qi Shuo bowed his hand and said, "Don't dare, it's just... The officers and men in the army were all under General Xie's orders, and the subordinates were afraid that they would not be able to summon them. Please forgive me, Princess. His Majesty sincerely invited, and asked the princess not to embarrass the lower officials. Qi Shuo's tone was very humble, but the words he said carried a domineering and irrefutable toughness, "Since the princess is here, please stay in the yamen for a while." When the lower officials invited the two princes, the three young ladies and the eldest princess, they would let people escort you on the road. What does the princess think? ”

"Lord Qi, what do you think... Is the lord of this county a puppet at your mercy? Nangong Mo, who had not spoken next to him, suddenly spoke. Liu Hanxingwei, who was standing behind Nangong Mo, looked at Qi Shuo with murderous intent.

Being stared at by three former killers, Qi Shuo's pressure is not small. It's just that his face is silent, and he laughs and says, "The lower officials don't dare." ”

"Don't dare to be the best." Nangong Mo looked at him and said with a faint smile: "There are so many soldiers and horses inside and outside Youzhou City, and there is no way for the county lord, but you are a small political envoy Yamen, I am afraid that you can't afford to take the initiative in this county." You say, "Will you leave us first, or will I send you back to the West first?" Of course... If Lord Qi dies at my hands at this time, he will probably be able to gain a reputation for sacrificing his life for the country, and it will not be a loss. Isn't it? ”

The smile on Qi Shuo's face finally couldn't hold back a little, and he laughed dryly and said, "The county lord said that he was laughing." ”

Thinking of the amazement of the previous confrontation with Nangong Mo, Qi Shuo had a headache. simply didn't go around in circles, and said directly: "The princess and the county lord are here to know what the officials are doing, but the officials are powerless in this matter." Even if the county lord kills the lower officials, the lower officials can still only do it

The lower officials can only say this. If the princess and the county lord are really worried, it is better to persuade His Royal Highness King Yan and Wei Shizi. After all, His Majesty was the heir personally appointed by the emperor before his death. ”

Princess Yan said: "So, Lord Qi means that His Majesty wants to kill the Yan Wangfu family, so we should stretch our necks and wait for his knife to fall?" ”

"Your Majesty is kind-hearted, how can this be? The princess was afraid that she had misunderstood, and her majesty invited the princess to Jinling, hoping that the princess and the prince could persuade the prince. Qi Shuo said.

"What a kind-hearted, kind-hearted majesty was relegated to the barbarian land as soon as he ascended the throne of the sixth, seventh, and ninth brothers? The kind-hearted majesty Xià let the whole family of the ten brothers die without a corpse? The kind-hearted Majesty has not yet ascended the throne, causing the people of Lingzhou to be in turmoil and plague rampant? It's really kind-hearted! ”

Qi Shuo was so blocked that he couldn't speak, and only after a while did he say in a deep voice: "Princess, how can my courtiers and other courtiers criticize it casually?" Please also ask the princess to be cautious. ”

"Auntie, let's go back." Nangong Mo suddenly spoke. Hearing this, Princess Yan and Qi Shuo were both stunned, and looked at Nangong Mo in unison. Apparently I don't understand why she is this? Princess Yan felt that the purpose of this trip had not been achieved, and Qi Shuo felt that Nangong Mo could not just be so light.

Nangong Mo looked at Qi Shuo with some meaning, and said with a light smile: "Lord Qi now... Are you waiting for General Xie and the imperial court to send reinforcements? The county lord is a little curious, if General Xie's soldiers and horses can't arrive by then, how does Lord Qi want to end up? Qi Shuo smiled reluctantly and said, "Xiaguan doesn't understand what the county lord is talking about. ”

Nangong Mo nodded and said, "The matter has come to this, don't say it." Auntie, let's go. ”

"Flawless?"

Nangong Mo said: "Haven't you seen it yet?" Lord Qi is indeed not lying, no matter what, Lord Qi will not withdraw his troops. It's not that he can't, it's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he can't. "It can't be more troublesome than not wanting to.

"There's no turning back when you start work, Lord Qi, right?" Now that Qi Shuo has already made a move, it is naturally best if a qiēshun lì is naturally the best. Once Yan Wang Shun came back, even if Qi Shuo stopped halfway, he couldn't escape death. And Qi Shuo doesn't seem to have any intention of taking refuge in King Yan.

Qi Shuo didn't speak, but just arched his hand silently towards Nangong Mo.

Princess Yan also understood, lowered her eyes and sighed, "That's it, let you accompany me for a trip." Let's go. ”

"The county lord of Xingcheng doesn't dare to stop him if he wants to leave the official, but Princess Yan, please stay!" Qi Shuo said in a deep voice.

Nangong Mo held Princess Yan's arm, looked back and smiled: "Lord Qi, why don't you let your people keep someone to take a look?" In the courtyard outside the door, there were already a lot of servants and guards of the political envoy yamen, staring at the people who came out of the door one by one. Nangong Mo helped Princess Yan to walk in the front, followed by Liu Han and Xingwei. There was also a group of guards from Qingmo Garden standing in the courtyard, but at this time, these people did not look like the silent and inconspicuous guards of Qingmo Garden in the past, the sword in their hands was out of their bodies, and their eyes were full of essence. You don't have to fight, as long as you look at your face, you can feel that each of these people in front of you is an elite who has been tempered and can be a hundred.

Everyone couldn't help but think of a rumor in the secret, it was said that all the guards of Qingmo Garden were the killers of the No. 1 Killer Organization in the rivers and lakes.

"Auntie, don't worry." While walking out, Nangong Mo said in a low voice.

Princess Yan nodded and did not speak.

On the side of the road, a person couldn't help but slash towards Nangong Mo with a knife. They had already been ordered not to hurt Nangong Mo and Princess Yan, and this knife was naturally not to really cut Nangong Mo, but just to separate her from Princess Yan.

Nangong Mo's expression was calm, and he didn't even move his eyes. Raising his hand and palming his palm, he gently blocked the blade that swept down from him, and his fingers flicked lightly. The person holding the knife only felt that the tiger's mouth was numb, and he almost couldn't grasp the handle of the knife. The next moment, Nangong Mo slapped his heart with a palm, knocking the person several steps away and colliding with the person behind him.

Nangong Mo raised his eyes, his gaze was like snow, "Dodge!" ”

Liu Han played with the short knife in his hand and sneered: "County Lord, what nonsense are you talking to them? When everyone is dead, naturally no one will dare to block the way! The word "roadblock" was still in his mouth, and a snowy knife light flowed out of the scabbard, quickly bringing up a snowflake. At the same time, the long sword in Xingwei's hand was also unsheathed.

"Hit!"

I don't know who roared angrily, and everyone from the political envoy yamen raised their weapons and rushed towards them. For a while, the two sides with a huge disparity in numbers reached a group in the courtyard. Nangong Mo still held Princess Yan's arm, and walked through the chaotic crowd of bloody wind and rain towards the outside of the gate. Liu Han followed behind her, and whenever someone pounced in the distance, Nangong Mo directly greeted her with a hidden weapon. Even if there are occasional fish that slip through the net, before they have time to get close to Princess Yan, they have already become Liu Han's ghost.

So, the people who approached the door couldn't stop Princess Yan even a step. Outside the Yamen of the Youzhou Political Envoy, hundreds of guards from the Yanwang Mansion were already waiting at the door. Seeing Nangong Mo escorting Princess Yan out, he immediately rushed up and surrounded the two in the middle. Seeing them go out, Xingwei was no longer entangled, and with a wave of his hand, he took a group of black-clothed guards to get rid of the people in front of him and swaggered away from the Yamen of Youzhou.

Two people came out of the yamen behind him, and a man in brocade said angrily: "Why didn't you let people release arrows just now?!" Just let Princess Yan and the Lord of Xingcheng run away! ”

Qi Shuo's face was not good-looking, he really didn't expect the combat power of the guards under Nangong Mo to be so amazing. Not a single casualty could have leveled out his hundreds of men and horses almost easily. Seeing Nangong Mo swaggering away with Princess Yan, it was really shameless. But..."Arrows? Is it yours or mine to shoot Princess Yan? ”

"Humph!" The man snorted coldly and said, "Rebels and thieves, you deserve to die!" ”

Qi Shuo sneered again and again: "Rebel and thief? Where is the evidence of King Yan's rebellion? King Yan didn't react for a day,

If there is no reversal for a day, the people of Yanwangfu will never be able to move! Do you want the people of the world to say that just because His Royal Highness King Yan disobeyed His Majesty's will, His Majesty shot Princess Yan to death? Your Excellency, don't forget, although Lan Guogong has passed away, but... The Languo Mansion is still there, and Princess Yan is still the daughter of the Languo Mansion. "Lan Guogong was loyal to the first emperor, because he died early and did not hinder the eyes of the first emperor, so he could be regarded as having a good death. Compared with those heroes who were raided and exterminated, although the Lan Guo Mansion seemed to be a little declining because of Lan Zhu's early death, the title was noisy, and many of Lan Guogong's subordinates back then were still in time. Today's Lan Guogong, who is also the brother of Princess Yan, is still able to speak in the army.

The man in brocade also knew that Qi Shuo was right, but he was a little unwilling after all, "Once His Majesty and King Yan go to war, is it possible that His Majesty will reuse the Mansion of the Blue Kingdom?" Now let go of Princess Yan......"

Qi Shuo said nonchalantly: "It's better than forcing Lan Guogong to rebel again, right?" "My own sister was killed by the emperor in a good manner, even if the king wants the minister to die, the minister doesn't dare not die, it can't really be so unreasonable, right? If he kills Princess Yan after forcing King Wei to death, will His Majesty's reputation among the people of the world still be good?

Nangong Mo escorted Princess Yan back to the Yan Palace, and the Xiao Qianchi brothers were waiting at the gate early. I was relieved to see them come back, but as soon as I walked into the gate of Yan Wang's Mansion, Princess Yan's legs were weak and she almost fell to the ground, which scared everyone.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?!" The two hurriedly surrounded and asked anxiously.

Princess Yan raised her head and smiled reluctantly, shook her head at the two and said, "I'm fine, help me up." ”

Nangong Mo helped Princess Yan to get up, and said softly: "Uncle turned around and asked people to boil a bowl of soothing soup and drink it." Nangong Mo was not surprised by Princess Yan's appearance, she was able to follow her out of the chaos of blood and rain without changing her face, and she walked into King Yan's mansion before she fell, which shows that Princess Yan is already bold. Even for people like them, I'm afraid that their hands will tremble when they kill someone for the first time.

Princess Yan smiled lightly: "Let you see you laugh." ”

Nangong Mo shook his head and was silent, Xiao Qianchi saw the blood stains on Nangong Mo's sleeve, and his heart suddenly understood, "Third brother, you send your mother back to rest." Cousin-in-law, you should go and rest first. My aunt also came over with Xiao Yao and An An. "Originally, it was actually better for everyone to stay in Qingmo Garden, but there are too many important things and even secrets in the Yanwang Mansion, and they must not be abandoned at will. And now at this time, it is naturally not possible to live on both sides separately, so 1 Xiao Qianchi discussed with Princess Changping, and they all moved over together. In this way, the guards on both sides converged, even if Qi Shuo wanted to do anything to the Yan Wangfu, it would not be so easy to succeed.

At this time, Xiao Qianjiong also knew the severity, and hurriedly nodded and helped Princess Yan away.

Nangong Mo also nodded towards Xiao Qianchi, and went back to change clothes to see the child first.

After washing up casually, Nangong Mo went to the courtyard of Princess Changping after changing his blood-stained clothes. Before I entered the door, I heard the crying of two little babies, and the two little ones seemed to be competing to see who could cry louder, and their voices were higher than the other. Princess Changping was distressed when she saw it.

"What's going on?" Nangong Mo stepped into the hall and said with a smile.

Princess Changping sighed: "The child hasn't left his mother for so long, and he just started crying, and he can't be coaxed." "It's nearly a month, Princess Changping didn't know that this well-behaved baby could cry so much.

Nangong Mo walked over, leaned over and picked up the daunted, and was carried into his mother's arms, and the little baby really sobbed a few times, and his voice slowly became smaller. My sister stopped crying, and An An slowly quieted down. Princess Changping couldn't help but hide her lips and smiled: "The little guy who has only been around for less than a month already knows how to recognize people?" It's really ......"

The baby may not really be able to recognize people, but they always remember the breath of the mother. Now that he is in his mother's arms, he is naturally stable. Nangong Mo gently patted her and put her back in the cradle, picked up An An and shook it, the baby opened her mouth and gave her a toothless smile.

Nangong Mo's heart warmed, and he lowered his head and kissed An An's forehead gently: Baby, my mother will definitely protect you well. Don't be afraid.
