"Stop arguing! At the beginning of the cooperation, Xu Zhilan wanted to test our strength with Tiger Roaring Heights, which is understandable! If we can't deal with Tiger Roaring Heights, that is, we don't have the ability to assassinate Princess Chongyang, in this case, there is no need for Xu Zhilan to cooperate with us! Now is not the time to discuss this, we will leave Yangtao County now, so as not to have too many dreams at night! "Onomoto made the final decision.

Su Rui nodded and said, "Now that Princess Luoyang is dead, after returning to Lingyun Pass, the prince will appear in advance to see how Xu Zhao reacts?" ”

Xu Zhiyuan was silent for a few seconds, he looked at Alendi and said, "What does Brother Ai think?" ”

Eleendi thought for a moment and said, "In terms of the current situation, if Xu Zhilan relays Alice's words to Xu Zhao, our hope of success ...... Brother Jianyuan appeared in advance before others sued, and he had a preconceived idea, I think it should be the best choice. If Xu Zhaoxian listens to other people's words and is prepared, it will not be beautiful! ”

"In this case, there is no need to burden General Sun, this prince will go to Jinling alone!" Xu Zhiyuan said proudly.

Su Rui was silent for two seconds and said, "My subordinates are willing to follow the prince to Jinling together!" ”

"The mistakes made by his subordinates, I don't dare to retreat, and I am willing to follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to Jinling!" Xiao Jinfeng replied.

"This king and Wang Mei will go with Prince Jianyuan!" Ellen Di spoke up.

"Okay, if everything goes well with Prince Ben, he should support Brother Ai as the king of the Western Regions and crown Alice as the queen!" Onomoto makes a commitment.

Ellen Di also knew that if Xu Zhiyuan became the emperor of Dahua, he would definitely not cede Dahua's land to the Western Regions, and it was already the greatest sincerity to support him as the king of the Western Regions!

On the tenth day of the first month, Mo Huqian waited for a day and did not see any princess coming, he was ready to wait for one more day, and at the same time, he also sent someone to inquire, and found that it seemed that Princess Luoyang had been destroyed, Princess Chongyang did not know her life and death, and Princess Jinyang did not know where to go.

No one is gone, so there's no need to wait! As a precaution, Mo Huqian left 500 soldiers behind, and he took 2,500 soldiers back to Yangtao County to resume his life.

In the early morning of the thirteenth, Xu Zhilan was sleeping soundly with Xi'er in his arms, when suddenly Lan Keqing sent an urgent message from Mo Hu.

Xu Zhilan was so angry that he scolded: "What's the matter? Didn't you tell them that you just want to kill Princess Luoyang? ”

Lan Keqing was also speechless, and said: "It is difficult for the father and son of this Lou family to be in charge!" The method is poisonous enough, and he actually used poisonous smoke and a poisonous dart that sealed his throat with blood! It's been two or three days, it can't be that you haven't completed the task of King Yangtao, and you don't dare to come back, right? ”

Xu Zhilan had a headache and said loudly: "I don't dare to come back if I do something wrong, this kind of person can't be used again in the future!" ”

Lan Keqing nodded, feeling that as a loyal subordinate, even if he did something wrong, he should come back and confess!

After a while, Xu Zhilan said softly: "No wonder Alice didn't come back to talk about things, it turned out that her people went to assassinate Princess Chongyang and were caught by the other party!" She was really unlucky, as soon as she went up, she ran into a big nail! ”

At this time, Lan Keqing and Xu Zhilan didn't expect that the Lou family's father and son would run to assassinate Princess Chongyang, and they were also arrested!

The next day, Luo Shixun was called to the palace.

"General Luo, you didn't inform the princesses to hide?" Xu Zhilan knew that Luo Shixun had sent a personal guard to inform him, so he asked deliberately.

Luo Shixun had already received Long Bing's secret letter, pretending to be scared, and said, "Weichen has already sent his cronies to inform Long Wei, is something wrong?" ”

Xu Zhilan showed Mo Huqian's letter to Luo Shixun.

"With the protection of the dragon guard, it shouldn't be enough to let the princesses have an accident, right? But the entire Tongfu Inn is dead, I'm afraid Princess Luoyang ...... Too many people have also died at Deyuan Inn, I don't know what happened to Princess Chongyang? Luo Shixun looked at Xu Zhilan with a panicked look.

"General Luo, what are you nervous about, the situation is unknown now. Who knows if Princess Luoyang is dead? Besides, even if something happens to Princess Luoyang, it can't be blamed on General Luo and King Yangtao! Lan Keqing said indifferently.

"General Luo, can you send someone to contact you again to see what the situation is? Where are the princesses now? If you find them, arrange soldiers to protect them, whether to return to Jinling or continue to come to Yangtao County, let them choose for themselves! ”

"Yes!" Luo Shixun took the order and left.

On the thirteenth day, Xu Zhao and Liu Gonggong were in Xu's study, combing and analyzing one by one:

First, Xu Zhilan has already seen the Lou family's father and son, and it is likely that he heard from the mouth of the Lou family's father and son that Xie Huishu died strangely, so he thought that the man might be exposed. Then, Xu Zhilan told Alice about it and threw the problem to Luo Shixun, his intention was probably to transfer Luo Shixun away from him, so that Xu Zhilan could escape with Xi'er, but Luo Shixun did not leave the barracks, so Xu Zhilan did not move for the time being.

Second, since Xu Zhilan told Luo Shixun the news of Alice, what is the point of him sending the Lou family father and son to assassinate him again? It's completely useless! According to Long Bing's report, the father and son of the Lou family pretended to be Tiger Roaring Heights to assassinate. What is the purpose of planting dirt for Tiger Roaring Heights? And it is obvious that Xu Zhilan does not know the relationship between Princess Chongyang and Tiger Roaring Heights, otherwise, Xu Zhilan will definitely not let the Lou family father and son touch Princess Chongyang.

Third, judging from the means of assassination, completely ignoring the morality of the rivers and lakes, using poisonous smoke to kill the entire inn, how much hatred must be there?

In the end, Xu Zhao came to the conclusion that Xu Zhilan may have speculated that the man's identity was exposed, and at this time Xi'er was pregnant and not suitable for long-distance escape, in order to protect himself, Xu Zhilan agreed to Alice's plan and wanted to usurp the throne. So, the father and son of the Pai Lou family joined Alice's people to act together, wanting to destroy the three princesses at once.

Gonggong Liu was shocked and said: "If King Yang Tao unites Alice and Liu Mei'er, the consequences are very serious!" Is it to pardon King Yangtao's sin of bullying the king first? ”

Xu Zhao shook his head and said, "This matter is not in a hurry, send someone over and let the Lou family father and son disappear in the world!" Don't let King Yangtao know that his people were caught, anyway, Long Bing said that there were two groups of people at that time, and it was dark and dark, and King Yangtao didn't know who the people who were taken away were. Let the government take a few death row prisoners out and behead them, and treat them as assassins who assassinated Princess Chongyang! ”

Liu Gongcheng was going to pass on the emperor's message, and Xu Zhao added: "Let Long Bing inform King Yangtao, and say that the three princesses are safe and sound, and have secretly returned to Jinling, and if King Yangtao has something, he can live in Yangtao County for a few more days." Warn the three princesses, catch the matter of the Lou family's father and son, if anyone accidentally reaches the ears of King Yangtao and forces King Yangtao back, so that the plan to attack Jingyang Kingdom fails, who will no longer have the idea of the position of the prince! ”

On the morning of the 14th, Xu Zhao was praising Xu Zhilan for breaking out the matter of King Gui of the Western Regions in time and saving the lives of the three princesses, when suddenly a father-in-law came to report outside the palace, saying that King Gui's eldest son Alendi and daughter Alice asked to meet outside the palace.
