Chapter 061: Rivalry (1)
In an inconspicuous small inn in Yuanchu Kyoto, Xiahou Yan was looking at the news handed over by Feng Yang.
"Master, this is the latest news from the princess, saying that the whereabouts of Miss Jane have been found, in a garden in the suburbs." Feng Yang asked respectfully on the side, "Do you need your subordinates to inquire first?" ā
"What's going on over there with Long Zeye?" Xiahou Yan threw the note into the incense burner and asked lightly.
"Back to the master, there is no movement yet."
"Send a few clever people to keep an eye on the movements in the palace, and send a few more to guard the palace, once Long Zeye has any movement, strike first." Xiahou Yan thought for a moment and said.
"Master, why don't we go directly to the other garden? Are you worried about the princess?" Feng Yang asked with some worry in his heart.
He knew the temperament of his master, and if he hadn't had doubts in his heart, his master would definitely not have made such an arrangement.
"It's good that she is the princess of Dongshang, but her heart will never belong to Dongshang." Xiahou Yan's tone was slightly sad and guilty.
Feng Yang rarely saw such a prince, and he suddenly became a little uneasy, and he didn't know how to reply, so he had to hang his head silently.
"Where's the honor guard?" After a long time, Xiahou Yan regained his usual indifference and asked.
When Feng Yang heard this, he immediately replied: "Back to the master, my subordinates have ordered them to speed up their pace, and it is estimated that they should enter Beijing in three days." ā
This visit to Yuanchu is not as large as the last time, and the time will be much faster.
"Hmm." Xiahou Yan only responded lightly. Feng Yang couldn't tell whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied.
"If the master has no other orders, his subordinates will go down and arrange for manpower." Feng Yang saw that Xiahou Yan hadn't spoken for a long time, so he gave his hand and asked for instructions.
Xiahou Yan only waved his hand, and Feng Yang saluted and retreated when he saw this.
After Le Ling returned to the palace, he asked Feng Zi to send a message to Xiahou Yan. And Long Zeye's place, because of Jian Ning, she had to go there in person.
Long Zeye didn't care much about her, depending on his eyes, he couldn't tolerate any other woman except Jian Ning.
Le Ling didn't care about his blindness, stepped forward, and after a standard salute. Said directly: "Your Majesty." The concubine has done what she promised, and you want to see someone in this place. ā
Hearing this, Long Zeye raised his head suddenly. stared sharply at Le Ling for a long time, and that kind of gaze almost seemed to see through Le Ling's heart.
Le Ling was calm enough, just standing calmly under Long Zeye's scrutinizing gaze, and handed the note in his hand to Fan Chengfu who stepped forward.
Fan Chengfu had a smile on his face. He politely took it from Leling's hand and held it with both hands. Carefully presented it to Long Zeye.
"Come on, prepare the horses!" Long Zeye glanced at the address on the note, and immediately said outside.
Almost at the same moment, he had risen from his chair. Walked out of the table and hurried outside.
This was a bit of a surprise to Leling. One second ago, Long Zeye was obviously looking at himself with that kind of eyes full of suspicion, why the next second. How could he rush out without regard for a single thing?
Because he was too surprised and puzzled, Le Ling reflexively grabbed Long Zeye and asked, "Isn't the emperor worried that this is another game set up by me?" ā
Long Zeye shook off Le Ling's hand. Looking directly into her eyes, he said, "There is only one Jian Ning in the world, and I will not miss any opportunity to find her!" ā
When Le Ling heard this, the corners of his mouth actually raised a self-deprecating smile. It seems that he really underestimated Long Zeye!
Standing in the huge imperial study, Le Ling said in an extremely expectant voice: "Brother Huang, it seems that this time you are finally going to lose!" ā
Le Ling's eyes looked around the huge imperial study, thinking that what he wanted would be here? But she also knew very well in her heart that even if Long Zeye went out now, there were still countless pairs of eyes hidden in the darkness around her looking at her.
As long as she has abnormal behavior, they will all shoot at her
In the end, Le Ling still waved her skirt, with a proud smile on her face, and walked out of the imperial study with a thousand manners.
At this moment, the palace gate had already been closed, but Long Zeye didn't care so much, so he ordered the palace gate to be opened and galloped through the streets of Kyoto on horseback.
And the moment the palace door opened, the people hidden in a big tree not far away also quickly left and headed towards a small inn.
Feng Yang had just arranged for the people who went to watch the other garden, and before he had time to take a sip of water, he saw that the people who had been sent out not long ago came back in a hurry.
"Report, my lord, just now, the gate of the palace suddenly opened, and someone galloped out of the palace." As soon as the man arrived in front of Feng Yang, he knelt on the ground and reported.
"How many people are out there? But do you see the looks? Feng Yang immediately asked.
"Back to my lord, before my subordinates came back and forth, only one person left the palace. Because it was a little far away, and the sky was dark, I couldn't see the appearance clearly, so I could only be sure that it was a man. ā
"Okay, you go back and keep an eye on it, and continue to report any more movements." When Feng Yang heard this, his first guess was that Long Zeye was out of the palace. But if you are alone, it seems unlikely.
didn't have time to think about it, Feng Yang immediately went upstairs to report the matter to Xiahou Yan.
"Looks like he's faster than I thought!" When Xiahou Yan heard this, he walked out and commanded, "Prepare the horse!" ā
"Is the master going to that garden?" When Feng Yang heard this, he said with some concern, "Master, it's better to let your subordinates go down first, I'm afraid there will be fraud!" ā
No matter how Long Zeye said it, he was also the Emperor of Yuanchu, even if he didn't go out with the soldiers swaggering, he should have brought his personal guards, so alone, he really had to doubt it a little more.
"Send a message to the people arranged in the other garden, if you see someone approaching, stop me first!" Xiahou Yan ignored Feng Yang's Jian YƬ at all, and ordered with a stern face.
Feng Yang looked at Xiahou Yan's appearance, and knew that it was in vain to say anything, so he had to finally speak: "Master, we secretly entered Yuanchu Kyoto, and there were not many people with us, and they were all sent out just now." Please let your subordinates follow and go together! ā
"You stay for the time being, and keep an eye on the movements on the palace side, so as not to have any surprises. We'll lose when the time comes! After Xia Houyan finished speaking, he had already turned over and got on the horse. With a fierce whip, he disappeared into the night.
Feng Yang looked at the disappearing back in place, worried in his heart. After all, this is someone's territory, and they are at a disadvantage in many things.
In the quiet streets of Kyoto, two horses are speeding towards a spot from two directions
Ador had dinner and was going to rest, but was told by someone sent by Liao Qi to go to the front hall immediately.
Although she has lived here for many days, she and Liao Qi have only a handful of time to really get along, and during the day, most of the time, Liao Qi is no longer in the garden. And everything that Ador does here is strictly required, and what to do and what not to do is rigidly prescribed.
When she arrived at the front hall, Ai Duoer found Liao Qi sitting on the front seat and drinking tea leisurely.
"What's the matter? Call me here at night, not just for tea! Ador consciously sat down in the lower seat, poured herself a cup of tea, and asked.
"We're going to be visiting soon." The corners of Liao Qi's mouth crossed an arc, and he took a sip of the teacup.
"Guests? What's there on this big night? Ai Duoer looked at Liao Qi's somewhat hairy expression and said coldly.
But soon she seemed to react again, and asked nervously, "Could it be that Long Zeye rushed over so soon?" Impossible! ā
Liao Qi didn't answer Ai Duoer's words, but only smiled faintly. But it's such a laugh that makes Ador's heart even more uplifting, and she doesn't know what to do.
"So what should I do? Will he find a flaw? In the end, Ai Duoer couldn't help but ask Liao Qi.
Although she is constantly sleeping that she is Jian Ning, when she is nervous, she still becomes at a loss.
"Don't you pride yourself on being smart? Why are you asking me at such a time? Liao Qi glanced at Ai Duoer and said disdainfully, "If you don't even have this ability, even if you help you enter the palace now, you will be exposed sooner or later!" ā
Liao Qi's agitation aroused the pride in Aidoer's heart. She replied coldly: "Don't underestimate me! ā
Liao Qi listened quietly to the movement outside, and he had been aware of it since the house was being watched.
Long Zeye finally arrived one step earlier than Xiahou Yan, but he was also blocked by Xiahou Yan's people with all his might.
Long Zeye was all about Jian Ning, and he didn't carefully observe who the other party was, he only knew that he had solved this group of people and saw Jian Ning.
After some fighting, Xiahou Yan's people were injured and killed, and Long Zeye also suffered some minor injuries.
And after the fight just now, the smell of blood also stained their eyes, and the people, whether it was Long Zeye or Xiahou Yan, became deadly and merciless.
Just when the sword in Long Zeye's hand was about to penetrate a person's body, Xiahou Yan arrived.
"I can't imagine that the dignified Emperor Yuanchu will kill here!" Xiahou Yan teased while throwing a dart to open Long Zeye's sword.
"If I remember correctly, the honor guard of the Eastern Merchants has just entered the border of our country today." Long Zeye threw away the black-clothed man in his hand and looked at Xiahou Yan coldly.
"The palace misses the imperial sister too much, so I took the first step, but I didn't want to meet this scene." Xiahou Yan's face remained unchanged, and he still smiled lightly and said, "It's just that at this hour, meeting Emperor Yuanchu here is really surprising to the main hall!" ā
Although Long Zeye didn't want to spend more time with Xiahou Yan, it was impossible to avoid Xiahou Yan to see Jian Ning right now. He simply said: "Prince Yan is here late at night, just say what the purpose is!" (To be continued) R580
