Chapter 538: War Drums
Zhao Cheng quickly drove the carriage to the main gate of Zhao Wangfu.
After Peony jumped out of the carriage, she helped An Rong to come down.
At this time, in front of King Zhao's Mansion, the people who watched the excitement knew that something had happened in King Zhao's Mansion, and they all dispersed in a hurry.
Think about it, the prince of Jingbei Hou was killed, he was the only seedling of the Jingbei Hou Mansion, one of the only two grandsons of Xiao Laoguo, and he didn't know who the assassin was, but he was afraid that he would be caught, and he would be killed lightly by a thousand knives.
Zhao Cheng grabbed a small servant in Zhao Wangfu, forced him to lead the way, and went to the small courtyard where Lian Xuan was hanged.
Before I entered the courtyard, I heard the sound of a fight in the courtyard.
The previous assassins did not escape, but because the assassination was successful, they couldn't go back in time to report the news.
Zhao Cheng asked two secret guards to protect An Rong, and he went in first to take a look.
But An Rong couldn't help it, Zhao Cheng walked on the front foot, and she stepped into the courtyard on the back foot.
In the distance, An Rong saw a person hanging upside down on the largest tree in the courtyard.
But the man was full of arrows.
Buda fell to his knees and wept.
Needless to say, I also knew that the person was Lian Xuan.
An Rong's face turned pale.
Peony snorted, his back tingled, and his legs trembled with fright, "With so many arrows, isn't he ...... the Hou Shizi of Jingbei?" ”
If it is inserted into a hornet's nest, it will definitely die.
In the courtyard, more than twenty assassins came.
The leader was a woman, covered with light veil, looking at Lian Xuan, who was shot like an arrow target, and a hearty smile burst out of her mouth.
That woman is the flawless girl of the Lingering Fragrance Pavilion.
Lian Xuan cut off one of her hands. Such a deep hatred, she must be avenged.
Just halfway through the laugh, the laughter stopped abruptly.
Xiao Zhan kicked over, and the flawless girl's body was like a kite off the string, floating away, and then slammed on the ground.
Standing in front of her was none other than Zhao Wangye.
In other words, Zhao Wangye was stupid.
He hung Lian Xuan from a tree, just to take a breath and show off his majesty.
He didn't know where he couldn't really do anything to Lian Xuan. Otherwise, even the emperor can't protect him.
But I watched the rain of arrows come at me. Before he could react, Lian Xuan hiccuped.
Before he took his last breath, he was still talking, "Don't give me money." I don't ...... to die. ”
Watch the Flawless Girl get up from the ground. Zhao Wangye's eyes narrowed.
I stepped on it.
Stepping directly on the hand where the Flawless Girl was going to hold the sword.
Moment. The Flawless Girl's face contorted and let out a hysterical roar.
The cry was terrifying to listen to.
Just feel that hand. was stepped on by Zhao Wangye, and his bones were shattered.
After screaming, the Flawless Girl fainted in pain.
After the flawless girl fainted, Prince Zhao looked at Xiao Zhan and Cui Yao, who were killed, and said, "You have also seen it, it is not this king who killed the prince of Jingbei Hou, his corpse, you can take it back." ”
Bu Da wiped his tears, got up from the ground, and said, "Young Master Cousin, it's him who makes the prince die without turning a blind eye!" ”
Zhao Wangye's back was cold, "Okay, okay, this king will give money!" ”
As he spoke, he hurriedly instructed the chief pipe, "Go and get 80,000 taels of silver tickets!" ”
After the manager answered, he hurried to get the money.
Xiao Zhan turned around to turn back, Bu Da wiped his tears, pointed at the flawless girl and said, "Young Master Cousin, this woman is ruthless and shoots the prince into a hornet's nest, she must not let her die so cheaply!" ”
Cui Yao looked at Lian Xuan, looked at it twice, couldn't bear to look at it directly, patted Xiao Zhan's shoulder and said, "Mourn, people can't be resurrected after death." ”
Seeing that no one was fighting, An Rong and Peony also walked over.
The corpses everywhere, the smell of blood everywhere, smelling An Rong's stomach turned over the river and the sea, and he couldn't help but vomit.
Over there, the manager came over with a silver ticket, trembled his hands, and sent it to Zhao Wangye.
Zhao Wangye's face was also very frightened, he didn't accept the silver ticket, and directly ordered, "Send it to Young Master Xiao Biao." ”
The chief manager is sweating on his forehead, he is afraid of death, especially when he sees Xiao Zhan killing people, it is like cutting tofu, who knows if he will choke his neck with one hand?
Xiao Zhan took the silver ticket and walked towards An Rong.
Behind him, Zhao Wangye's forehead paused, "Hurry up, put down the prince of Jingbei Hou and send him to the Jingbei Hou Mansion." ”
Not far away, An Rong was a little stunned.
Lian Xuan died, how could Xiao Zhan take the silver ticket casually, and walk towards her without even looking at Lian Xuan?
Wasn't he the one who was in a hurry to enter King Zhao's mansion?
When Xiao Zhan approached, An Rong glanced him up and down several times, and was about to speak.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew.
Blowing up the leaves that fell from the fight, and carrying the squinting dust.
Xiao Zhan took An Rong in his arms.
In a trance, An Rong heard a familiar coughing sound.
With the sound of coughing, An Rong heard the sound of something falling to the ground.
An Rong's brows furrowed and he came out of Xiao Zhan's arms.
Look into the distance.
I saw Lian Xuan, who was hanging from a tree, every time he coughed, seven or eight arrows fell from his body.
"Buda, get here, the sand is in my eyes!"
I only heard Lian Xuan shouting.
Buda, a cigarette wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and rushed over.
An Rong, "....... ”
Zhao Wangye, "......." ”
The eyes of the two blinked and blinked, and they saw Lian Xuan's feet move slightly, and then broke free from the rope that bound his feet.
Half-suspended in the air, it landed steadily.
I shook my body again, and all the arrows on my thighs and body fell.
Bu Da leaned over and said, "Master, didn't you say that you would be carried out of the palace, why can't you bear it?" ”
Lian Xuan rubbed his eyes and bared his teeth, "If I can hold it, will I not hold it?!" ”
Bu Da shrunk his neck, pointed to the flawless girl lying on the ground, and said, "Master, she caught it, but Shen Zulang didn't see it." ”
Lian Xuan rubbed his neck and walked over, sneering, "After wasting so much energy, you actually caught one?" ”
Zhao Wangye stood there, his face as black as the bottom of a pot. "You faked your death?!"
Lian Xuan didn't speak, and Prince Zhao roared, "Are you coming to the door to ask for debts, or are you coming to my palace to catch assassins?!" ”
An Rong stood far away, and Zhao Wangye's rough roar shook An Rong's eardrums.
Lian Xuan was very close to Zhao Wangye, and the corners of his mouth twitched when he heard it, "Asking for debts doesn't prevent me from catching assassins." ”
When Zhao Wangye heard this, the bruises on his forehead burst out.
After Lian Xuan finished speaking, as soon as his hand was stretched, Bu Da took out a piece of paper from his arms.
Lian Xuan took it. In the hands of Prince Saizhao. smiled, "Let's clear the two." ”
Zhao Wangye's fists clenched and made a creaking sound.
Lian Xuan held Zhao Wangye's hand, very quickly. There were beads of sweat on Zhao Wangye's forehead.
An Rong knew that the two of them were fighting in secret.
Apparently. Zhao Wangye lost.
Wait for Lian Xuan to let go. Prince Zhao didn't say anything, just glanced at Xiao Zhan a few more times.
He was still reluctant to give Xiao Zhan the 80,000 taels of silver tickets, what was he in such a hurry to do?
The more I think about it, the more heartache I get. Zhao Wangye turned his head and left.
Only at this time did Lian Xuan walk up to Xiao Zhan and An Rong and say movingly, "I know that only my eldest brother and sister-in-law care about my life or death." ”
Xiao Zhan glanced at his tattered clothes, but not a drop of blood, and there was a sense of helplessness in his deep eyes.
"In the future, I don't care anymore."
At this sentence, An Rong and Xiao Zhan said in unison.
Lian Xuan, "......." ”
Lian Xuan touched his nose and said innocently, "You can't blame me for pretending to be dead, it was they who poisoned the tea that King Zhao brought to me, and I found out, and it happened that Lord Zhao didn't give me money again, so I wanted to kill two ......birds with one stone." ”
Lian Xuan said, and Bu Da testified on the side.
Lian Xuan really didn't expect that Xiao Zhan and An Rong would come to save him, and he was so moved that he was about to cry.
Xiao Zhan glanced at Lian Xuan, "Is it killing two birds with one stone, or killing three birds with one stone?" ”
Lian Xuan was stunned and laughed.
An Rong stood aside, a little dazed, "What kills three birds with one stone?" ”
As soon as she finished asking, Lian Xuan tore off the tattered clothes that had been shot on her body in three or two strokes.
A sky-blue brocade robe was revealed.
Seeing the brocade robe made An Rong's eyes squint slightly.
I only heard Lian Xuan say, "You pretended not to see me." ”
After speaking, a silver bell was heard in the distance.
The lord of Hanyue is here.
When the county lord of Hanyue heard that Lian Xuan was dead, he hurriedly ran over.
Seeing Lian Xuan standing there well, Lord Hanyue wiped his tears and said, "If you don't die, I know you won't die......." ”
Lian Xuan pulled the corners of his mouth and asked, "Can you see me?" ”
Lord Hanyue was stunned.
As soon as Lian Xuan's tongue was spitted out, he was like a dead person.
He's still floating.
The county lord of Hanyue was frightened, and pulled Bu Da and asked, "Your master ...... him." ”
Bu Da wanted to tell the truth, but he couldn't stop Lian Xuan from glaring at him.
Buda wiped his tears and said, "The prince is he, he ......." ”
Bu Da didn't dare to say that Lian Xuan was dead, how could he act for the tiger?
At that moment, there was a sound of drums in the distance.
Xiao Zhan's face was slightly gloomy.
Lian Xuan didn't float anymore, frowned and said, "With such a rapid sound of war drums, there must be something big going on at the border pass!" ”
As he spoke, Lian Xuan sensed the anger of the Lord of Hanyue gritting his teeth.
He hurried away.
The lord of Hanyue chased after him with a knife on the ground.
Looking at the two of you chasing me, a smile overflowed at the corner of An Rong's mouth, "What a pair of enemies." ”
Xiao Zhan and An Rong walked forward.
Suddenly, Xiao Zhan's ears moved.
Immediately, he hugged An Rong and turned around.
A short arrow, flying past the ear.
When he turned around with An Rong in his arms, Xiao Zhan casually took off the white hosta on An Rong's bun.
Almost instantly, An Rong's bun loosened.
Xiao Zhan, "....... ”
An Rong Sanqian Qingsi danced in the wind, his face darkened, "Why do you want to pick my hosta ......?" ”
Before the words fell, I saw Xiao Zhan wave his hand.
The white hosta flew out.
Almost in the blink of an eye.
The flawless girl who wanted to take the opportunity to escape fell to the ground.
The hosta was stuck in her neck.
An Rong puffed out his mouth and stopped talking, but his eyes were full of condemnation.
Poor Xiao Zhan, it's the first time he's made such a stupid mistake.
"There is an accident at the border pass, I will enter the palace," Xiao Zhan touched An Rong's bun and instructed Zhao Chengdao, "Escort the young grandmother back to the mansion." ”
After saying this, Xiao Zhan left quickly.
Leave Anrong in stomping.
An Rong wore two hostas out, one was used by Xiao Zhan, and the other fell to the ground and was broken.
Pity her, she had to leave the Zhao Wangfu with her hair and redress in the carriage.
When I returned to the Guogong Mansion, I had just crossed the threshold.
Manager Xiao greeted him and said, "Young grandma, Grandpa Guo has something to do with you, so let you go to the study." ”
An Rong was slightly stunned. (To be continued......)
