Chapter 124: The Big Fish Takes the Bait
On the Yangchang path leading to the bottom of the mountain in Guanyin Temple, two horses walked on the road at a slow pace, and the people who rode the horses were Ji Lingfeng and Huai'an Hou Qian Ming.
Seeing that the path ahead was even more rugged and difficult, Qian Ming couldn't help but have a look of impatience flashing in his eyes.
"Ji Gongzi, you don't take the main road, why do you want to persuade Ben Hou to take this small road, if you take the main road, we will have already reached the foot of the mountain."
After Ji Lingfeng's persuasion, Qian Ming obeyed the arrangement, quickly left the Guanyin Courtyard, and in order to avoid people's eyes, he returned directly to Chengping City, and even the people who came with him did not go back with him.
Ji Lingfeng stood on the horse in a snow-white robe, frowned when he heard the words, and said softly:
"Master Hou, don't you know that there is a saying, be careful to sail a boat for ten thousand years, that Xiao Jinxuan is thoughtful, let's leave Guanyin Academy so easily, Ji always feels unborn in his heart, so let's give up the eye-catching avenue, spend some time, and take this path that is not easy to be noticed."
Huai Anhou smiled, his expression full of disdain.
"Ji Lingfeng, what is good about you when you ask Ben Hou, a little girl actually scared you like this, even if it is as you said, she does have some strategies, but in the end, she is a powerless and powerless concubine, we have left Guanyin Academy now, what else can she do to me."
Nodding, Ji Lingfeng felt that what Qian Ming said was not unreasonable, but the uneasiness in his heart still didn't let go for a moment.
Because as far as he knows about Xiao Jinxuan, this fourth lady is definitely a fox hunter who will not let go if she bites her prey, but this time the other party is willing to let Qian Ming leave safely, which is really abnormal.
Seeing Qian Ming, now that he had relaxed his vigilance, Ji Lingfeng couldn't help but say a few more words.
"Master Hou, the reason why I advise you to leave Guanyin Academy immediately is mainly because, if Ji's guess is right, Xiao Jinxuan is afraid that she is going to attack Princess Huayang, if the princess is ill for a long time, or her life is dying, your footsteps will really be delayed, and then the prince and his party may have a chance to turn over."
When Qian Ming heard this, he was surprised in his heart and said in disbelief:
"Ji Gongzi, my wife is a princess, I heard that the princess was injured because of an accident, do you suspect that in addition to Xiao Jinxuan, the mastermind behind last night's bloody case was Xiao Jinxuan, even the princess's injury was done by the other party, and she did all this from that moment to attract me."
I heard Ji Lingfeng say before that the death of mercy was done by Xiao Jinxuan, in order to separate him and Huayang, and bring trouble to the Qian family, thus forcing him to stay in Guanyin Academy to preside over the overall situation.
And now, the accidental injury caused by Princess Huayang seems to have nothing to do with this Xiao Jinxuan, Qian Ming really can't imagine how this little girl's courage is so big and so poisonous.
But this time, Ji Lingfeng shook his head, then thought for a moment and said cautiously:
"Last night's incident must have nothing to do with Xiao Jinxuan, in order to really hold you back, but the princess was injured, I think if Xiao Jinxuan made a move, it may not be for the Hou Ye, it should be because of personal grudges, after all, you, the princess lady, have made it difficult for Xiao Jinxuan during this time, according to my understanding of her, if it were not for Princess Huayang, she would not be at ease."
Seeing Ji Lingfeng, the analysis was very reasonable, and a look of hesitation flashed in Qian Ming's eyes.
Because according to the meaning of the other party's words, Huayang's life is in danger now, and if he doesn't go back to rescue, he may really die at the hands of Xiao Jinxuan.
But after thinking about it, Qian Ming felt that this might also be an opportunity, a great opportunity for him to get rid of Huayang!
This jealous princess has long made him unbearable, if he can get rid of this princess and wife by the hands of others, Qian Ming's heart has a faint expectation.
Therefore, Huai Anhou knew that Huayang was in trouble, but he chose to remain silent, followed Ji Lingfeng, and continued to rush down the mountain without a moment's delay.
But just as the two of them had walked for another quarter of an hour, a team of more than 20 people appeared on the originally rugged and empty path. And it was Zhou Xianrui who rode a horse to the forefront.
As soon as he saw the figure of this Rui Wang appear, Ji Lingfeng secretly said in his heart that it was not good, and as soon as he looked at him, he immediately turned his horse's head, preparing to take Huai'an Hou and withdraw the same way, and quickly avoided Zhou Xianrui.
But before they could ride their horses and run a few steps, they saw that the way they came was stopped by more than a dozen people wearing the uniforms of Rui Wangfu's guards.
And in just such a moment, Zhou Xianrui had already driven his horse to the front.
"Huai'an wait, Ji Gongzi, why didn't I even say hello when I saw this king, I turned around and was about to leave, it seems that the two of you have really been with Prince Tai for a long time, I'm afraid that I, an ordinary prince, have been difficult to enter the eyes of the two."
Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Ji Lingfeng knew that this week Xianrui was definitely not a good person, so he drove forward to protect Huai'an behind him, and then he said with a smile:
His Royal Highness laughed, but he was too far away just now, and when he saw a team of people rushing out, Ji thought that he had met the bandits in the green forest, so he didn't care about taking a closer look, turned around and drove the horse away. After all, who would have thought that in such a deserted place, the prince would appear with people, and now that he has seen it, he asked His Royal Highness to get out of the way, so that I and the Hou Ye can leave. ”
As he spoke, Ji Lingfeng had a smile on his face, but his hand was already on the saber, and the surrounding atmosphere instantly became solemn.
But Zhou Xianrui didn't seem to notice this saber-rattling atmosphere, but instead drove his horse around Ji Lingfeng and came to Qian Ming's side with a solemn expression.
"Lord Hou has been the busiest person in this Beijing division recently, but this king has something to remind you, although those who can work hard, but who is this for, Huai'an Hou must be clear, otherwise in the end, not only will he be busy in vain, but I am afraid that he will lose his wife and soldiers, which is not good."
Facing Zhou Xianrui's indifferent eyes, Qian Ming's heart trembled, this Rui King is called a virtuous king among the people, and he is also very loved by the people.
But in the court, his upright and iron-blooded style made all the civil and military officials frightened, and now he was warned by this Rui Wang, even if Qian Ming himself was also a marquis, but he still couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.
Seeing that Qian Ming obviously looked powerless, Ji Lingfeng couldn't help but be secretly anxious in his heart, afraid that Huai'anhou, who had a character that belonged to the wall, would not be able to resist the pressure and compromise directly, and confess the whereabouts of the witness, so how could he explain to Prince Tai.
Therefore, Ji Lingfeng hurriedly stepped forward and completely blocked Zhou Xianrui's gaze at Qian Ming, so as not to let the other party have a chance to exert pressure.
The voice also said with a little coldness: "Your Highness, now that the greeting has been called, I and the Marquis should be able to leave, you are now bringing someone to surround us here, you know that we are greeting each other, and those who don't know still think that you are carrying private soldiers and openly besieging the people of the Marquis General, this is going to be spread, and it is estimated that the Holy Lord will also ask about today's affairs." ”
But this time, before Zhou Xianrui could speak, he suddenly saw that in the direction of Guanyin Academy, there were about five or six people, riding horses, and they had already galloped to the front.
And the person who was the leader, Ji Lingfeng also recognized that it was Wen Xin beside Xiao Jinxuan, and the dozen or so people who followed behind the other party were all the guards of the eighth princess from the point of view of service.
Wen Xin arrived, turned over and dismounted to ask Zhou Xianrui for a pleasant visit, and then turned around and sneered and looked at Huai Anhou.
"Ji Gongzi, this innocent person really shouldn't be surrounded, but if he commits a murder, then it's a different matter, today fortunately, His Royal Highness King Rui happened to stop the two, otherwise the real murderer who killed Princess Huayang would not have escaped."
Wen Xin's words really stirred up a thousand waves, especially Huai Anhou, who almost fell off the horse without being shocked.
Just now Ji Lingfeng told him that Xiao Jinxuan might be unfavorable to Huayang, but he didn't even have the kung fu of a pillar of incense, the other party's words came true, and the meaning of Wen Xin's words, the fierce finger seemed to be him, Huai Anhou felt that his blood was about to solidify.
Therefore, seeing him glare, he pointed at Wen Xin and shouted:
"Where did the dog slave come from, babbling nonsense, I went to see the princess an hour ago, and she was fine, madam, how could she die after this kung fu. What's more, Ben Hou has now left the Guanyin Academy, even if the princess has any mistakes, it has nothing to do with Ben Hou. ”
Seeing that Huai Anhou said this, he was anxious and wanted to ride his horse away, how could Wen Xin call him wishful, and immediately grabbed the reins of the other party.
"If the Hou Ye is not weak-hearted, why did he leave quietly, the eighth princess went to visit Princess Huayang, and found that Her Royal Highness the princess died tragically in her room. According to the diagnosis of the imperial doctor, the time of the princess's death did not exceed an hour, and before the princess's death, many people testified that the last person she saw was Huai'an waiting for you, so the eighth princess ordered me to take the guards to invite the Hou Ye back to the hospital, after all, you are the most suspicious now, and before the truth is clarified, the princess has ordered that no one is allowed to leave the Guanyin Courtyard for half a step. ”
Seeing Wen Xin's words, even if Huai Anhou thought there was fraud just now, he would have to believe it, and his princess lady was afraid that she had really died, and he was now inexplicably the number one suspect in the murder of the princess.
Ji Lingfeng on the side, his face was also very ugly, because it was only at this time that he finally figured out why Xiao Jinxuan would let them leave the Guanyin Courtyard so easily.
Where is the other party because he has no power and power, so he can't stop it, he is clearly waiting for them to leave on their own, and then the charge of absconding in fear of crime will be deducted on Huai Anhou's head.
At this time, Ji Lingfeng couldn't wait to slap himself twice, and it was not the first time he had competed with this woman, how did he end up, he still underestimated the other party's courage and ambition.
Until now, Ji Lingfeng has figured out all the things he couldn't figure out before, originally he had indeed guessed that Xiao Jinxuan would not let go of Huayang, and would use the other party to contain Huai'anhou.
But what he didn't expect was that the real goal of Miss Xiao Si from beginning to end was not Huayang at all, or Huayang's death, but a small prey that the other party solved casually, what Xiao Jinxuan really wanted to deal with was actually Huai'an waiting for Qian Ming!
It's ridiculous that before he really always thought that the other party just wanted to hold back Qian Ming's footsteps, but now he knows that what Xiao Jinxuan really wants is to wait for Qian Ming's life in Huai'an!
