Chapter 098: Assassination
"Big brother!" Leng Yang was surprised and delighted, and in an instant, he was embarrassed. Ruo'an couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that it was Leng Chen, and the momentum just now really scared her a lot.
Leng Chen waved his hand, and Father-in-law Yanlu retreated in understanding, and walked away with the guards who were in a circle, and without the light of the torches, the field immediately became deserted. Leng Chen turned his wheelchair and slowly approached Leng Yang.
The closer he got, the more ugly Leng Yang's face became, the more obvious the crampedness and uneasiness became, and his body subconsciously retreated, almost stepping on Ruo'an who was behind.
"Big brother, aren't you drunk, why did you come here...... Leng Yang asked in a low voice, looking very weak-hearted, and didn't even dare to look directly at Leng Chen's gaze. Leng Chen replied lightly: "When did you see me really drunk?" ”
After hearing this, Leng Yang's body was shocked, and he said with some annoyance: "Why is the eldest brother pretending to lie to me!" ”
Leng Chen was very calm, and said slowly: "If I don't pretend, will you tell me the truth?" Or that you don't even have a chance to say goodbye to me......"
"No...... No...... I ......" Leng Yang squeaked and didn't know how to explain it, but Ruo'an on the side was a little confused: "What the hell is going on?" Could it be that His Highness doesn't know about this? ”
"I don't have time, I'll explain it to you later!" Leng Yang responded, and then took Ruo'an's hand and said to Leng Chen: "Big brother, you let us go, I really can't stay in this place!" I can't marry a woman I don't love, I like Joan, I want to be with her! ”
As soon as these words came out, Ruo'an panicked and hurriedly shook off Leng Yang's hand. She couldn't believe her ears, did she hear her right? The cynical Second Highness actually said that he ...... Say he likes himself?! That's nonsense, isn't it? Ruoan was a little annoyed and said: "I don't know if what you said is true or not, but now is this critical moment. Can you stop talking about these inconsequential things, and think about how to escape first! ”
"Joan...... What I said is true, in fact, I wanted to tell you early in the morning, because I don't have a chance, I'll take you away...... Let's leave this ......" Leng Yang said and was about to hold Ruo'an's hand again, Ruo'an took a step back and flashed over, she was able to sort out her thoughts at the moment, Leng Yang was to resist marriage. I wanted to leave the palace, and because I had love for myself, I rescued myself late at night, but ......
Seeing Ruo'an's resistance, Leng Yang didn't have time to think about it and began to lobby Leng Chen: "Big brother, for the sake of your brotherhood for many years, you just let me go......"
Leng Chen looked at Leng Yang's pleading appearance, and said with a wry smile: "Even if I let you go today, where do you think you and Ruo'an can escape?" The greatest thing in the world is the king's land. If the queen mother knows the way, she will definitely use the power of the country to hunt you down, and then she will live a life of hiding in Tibet and worrying? Is this the freedom you want? ”
"That's it! I can't care so much! Big brother, don't persuade me anymore. There is nothing nostalgic about this palace, I have stayed enough, other mothers are trying to make their children happy. And me? What about being a prince? Why do you have to force me to do something I don't want to do! Leng Yang's blue tendons on his forehead were exposed, and he was very emotional.
See him angry. Far from being angry, Leng Chen had a little more sadness. He said lightly: "I didn't expect that the brotherly affection that I have always been proud of is worthless in your eyes...... It's ironic......"
"It's not big brother, I didn't mean that...... You are mistaken! I'm actually ......" Leng Yang almost wanted to argue, but Leng Chen waved his hand to interrupt him: "Since you are willing to go, then go, unless you want to stay, otherwise even if I say more, you will not give in." Let's go......"
"Big brother ......" Leng Yang didn't expect Leng Chen to agree so easily, a little surprised, but looking at Leng Chen's secretly sad appearance, a trace of guilt rose in his heart, he kneeled on the ground with a puff and said solemnly: "Big brother, Leng Yang is sorry for you, I can't take care of you in the future, help you share state affairs, and ask eldest brother to take care of your body, don't work too hard, Wanqing Kingdom and father will be handed over to you......" After speaking, he kowtowed three times.
Ruo An watched the farewell of the two brothers on the side, the scene was so sad, he couldn't help but be sad, Leng Chen smiled and pulled up Leng Yang, looked at Ruo An behind him, turned his head to Leng Yang and said, "You go to carry the horse first, I have something to say to Ruo An......"
Leng Yang nodded and walked away. There are only two people left under the moonlight, Ruo'an and Leng Chen, I haven't seen Ruo'an for a few days, this girl is a lot thinner, presumably life in prison is not easy, that slender body may be able to withstand such a bumpy life as escaping from Leng Yang? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, I have always restrained my feelings for Ruo'an, and in the face of parting, I still can't help but worry......
"I'm sorry......" Leng Chen lowered his head apologetically, and Ruo'an asked in confusion, "Why is Your Highness like this?" What do you have to apologize for? ”
Leng Chen smiled: "It's my incompetence, I can't help you get rid of your guilt for the time being, the second brother is so nonsense, dragging you down......"
"Oh...... It doesn't matter, in fact, when I stand here, I'm already a sin and a second, I can't tell...... Leng Yang is also for my good, and wants to take me out of this ......" Ruo An smiled bitterly, in fact, she knew very well in her heart that once the queen mother knew that she was fleeing, or with Leng Yang, she would definitely kill herself, and she was cautious and cautious in the palace.
"Are you really leaving?" Leng Chen didn't come up with such a sentence, which disturbed Ruo'an's square inch, she was a little embarrassed, she didn't know how to answer, it was difficult to recover, could it be that she went back to the cell now?
Seeing her hesitating like this, Leng Chen didn't ask any more questions, but took out a delicate long box from his arms and handed it over.
"What is this?" Joan asked. Leng Chen smiled: "I'll leave you a souvenir......"
Ruo'an untied the strap above, opened the long box with a slight force, a crystal clear brush lay in the box, the pen barrel is carved from the best jade, and the tip is made of high-quality Ying Yang Hao, the tip is transparent, the silk is bright, clean and free of impurities......
Ruo'an was stunned, this brush is definitely a priceless treasure! Such a valuable gift is to be given to yourself......
"Your Highness, I can't accept this...... It's too precious...... "Ruo'an waved his hand again and again, wanting to return the long box to Leng Chen. Leng Chen waved his hand: "If you don't accept it, it will be a real waste, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, only you can match such a pen......"
"I ......"
"Put it away, here are some coiled and medicinal materials, once out of the palace, it is destined to be difficult, since you have chosen to go out of the palace, it is good to take care of yourself, in addition, Leng Yang's temper you also know the way, impulsive and reckless, you have to mention him more, less trouble......"
Ruo An looked at him, his heart struggled incomparably, Leng Chen told himself like this, obviously he still cared about himself, no matter how high-sounding he said, the reluctance and worry revealed in these words were true, she could feel it, but Leng Chen was always reluctant to admit it, even in this parting scene, he was still stingy and unwilling to confide, if Anduo wanted to hear Leng Chen's "Don't ......leave" Just these three words, she can stay without hesitation, even if she wants to sit through the prison, she is willing... …
"Actually, I should have sent you out of the palace a long time ago, because of my selfishness, I have imprisoned you for so long, you are the same as Leng Yang, you don't belong here, let's go, how far can you escape, never come back......" Leng Chen said, with a big sense of goodbye......
The sound of horses' hooves came not far away, Ruo'an followed the prestige, only to see Leng Yang lead two horses over, the horses stopped beside Leng Chen, Ruo'an recognized one of the horses with black fur at a glance, it was the one that rushed into the fire to save himself that day, Ruo'an was overjoyed, and reached out to hug Wuyue's neck.
Leng Yang was frightened and hurriedly wanted to stop it, but it can be seen that Wuyue did not move, but was very peaceful and let Ruo An touch it, as if he was an old friend, he couldn't help but shout magically, except for Leng Yang on weekdays, Wuyue is not allowed to be touched by anyone, but Ruo An can actually get close to it so intimately, it is incredible......
didn't care about thinking more, Leng Yang urged: "Hurry up and get on the horse, time is running out, you have to get out of the palace before the change of guards, otherwise it will be too late......"
Ruoan nodded, the moment he stepped on the saddle, he couldn't help but glance at Leng Chen, he just sat quietly next to him and looked at himself, his face was calm, he couldn't see a trace of waves, Ruoan couldn't help but feel a sense of loss, he was really leaving, he was really leaving......
Without waiting for Ruo'an to step on the horse's back, the horse raised its front legs in fright with a neigh, Ruo'an was caught off guard and fell down directly, and before he landed, he felt the wind in his ears, and a sharp arrow grazed his cheek and shot over!
"There are assassins!" Leng Yang exclaimed, and hurriedly drew his sword to block it, and before the sword was unsheathed, the second arrow arrived again! Ruo'an only felt a warmth on his back, and then a huge impact resisted his back!
Without waiting for a reaction to what was going on, he only heard Leng Yang's roar: "Big brother!" ”
The warmth of her back was so familiar, a head was pressing on Ruo'an's shoulder, she hurriedly turned her head to look, only to see Leng Chen protecting herself from behind, one leg still on the wheelchair, Ruo'an was shocked, did he throw himself out of the chair to save himself?
couldn't help but turn around in a hurry, Leng Yang came to his side, and Ruoan realized that Leng Chen had been hit by an arrow......
The arrow pierced through his shoulder, and blood stained his chest and back, and blackened blood was dripping down the tip of the arrow. How could this blood be black, Ruo An just wanted to reach out and touch it, but was scolded by Leng Yang: "Don't touch it!" ”
Ruo'an was excited, his hand froze in the air, Leng Yang took Leng Chen into his arms, stretched out his hand and touched it: "There is poison on the arrow...... Fast! Hurry up and announce the Imperial Doctor! (To be continued......)
