Chapter 228: Surrounded!
After arriving in Chang'an, the first thing Cheng Yanjin and the others did was naturally to ask Su Wen to take out those made feather arrows. It's about whether he wins or loses, and there's no joke.
Most importantly.
Both Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chi Jingde were skeptical of Su Wen's methods, if it weren't for the fact that they had seen too many incredible things in the manor, they would definitely not believe that if they could take out those feather arrows in Chang'an City.
Soon.
Su Wen took Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chi Jingde to the small courtyard that he and Li Yi knew, and it was here that he personally killed Changsun Chong.
Li Yi really didn't lie before, he did have an agreement with Su Wen that when Su Wen returned to Chang'an, he would come here to look for her as soon as possible.
Therefore.
When they came here, Su Wen didn't see Li Yi for the first time, which made him a little confused, according to what he knew about Li Yi, the other party was definitely not the kind of person who didn't keep his promises.
So here's the problem...... Is this what is going on?
"She's not there?" When he found that Li Yi was not here, Su Wenneng turned his head and glanced at Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chi Jingde.
His meaning was obvious, he wanted these two people to use their relationship to see why.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess should have been very busy lately, it's normal not to be here!" Cheng Yanjin said helplessly.
He felt that Su Wen was thinking too much, with Li Yi's temper, it was too normal that the agreed things were not done, and more importantly, the other party was a princess, and I am afraid that no one in Chang'an City would dare to touch her, right?
Other words...... Li Yi was not in any danger at all, and the reason why she didn't appear here was just because of her own reasons.
Wei Chi Jingde also nodded slowly, expressing his agreement with Cheng Yanjin's words, what they were most concerned about now was how Su Wen would take out those feather arrows, in addition to that...... Nothing seems to matter at all.
looked at the two of them meaningfully, Su Wen didn't take this matter to heart, maybe it was really as the two said...... It should be that Li Yi was delayed by something.
After all.
Because of her appearance, her identity has become different now, and it is normal to have her own things to do now!
Forthwith.
At the urging of Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chi Jingde, Su Wen walked into the warehouse alone, which was the result of his insistent request.
If it weren't for Su Wen's very firm performance, Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chi Jingde would follow him no matter what.
Even if they couldn't follow Su Wen in the end, the two of them stayed outside the warehouse door from beginning to end to prevent any accidents that might happen.
That's it...... After a whole night's hard work, Su Wen took out all the feather arrows he had made, which consumed a lot of his strength.
When all the warehouses in this yard are filled. Su Wen was also so tired that he fell asleep.
After seeing those mountains of feather arrows, Cheng Biting Jin and Yu Chi Jingde were completely relieved.
Some people were sent to guard the outside of the courtyard, and the two of them went to the palace at the same time.
This is a very important matter, and it must be known to His Majesty the Emperor as soon as possible.
However.
What neither of them noticed was that their every move back to Chang'an was unreservedly transmitted to the ears of the eldest grandson Wuji.
At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji was anxious about Hou Junji's affairs, and he tried all kinds of ways to get rid of this person, but he found that he didn't seem to have any way to get rid of the other party.
No matter what he does, he will leave a handle for others, he is now the time when he can't make mistakes, once it affects Li Chengqian to become the crown prince, then his sin is too great!
But.
After getting the news that Su Wen and the others were back, the eldest grandson Wuji immediately had a new idea in his heart, and he might still have many scruples about making a move, but Su Wen became different.
The other party didn't even hesitate to act impulsively towards the eldest grandson, let alone a Hou Junji.
Thereupon.
The eldest grandson Wuji quickly made arrangements, while he sat quietly in the mansion and waited for news......
……
in the Royal Palace.
Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chi Jingde saw Li Er, the hall was very empty at the moment, all the eunuchs and maidservants had left here, and only the three of them were left.
"How? Are you satisfied with this trip to the manor? Li Erda looked at Wei Chi Jingde meaningfully and asked.
Of course he knew what the other party was thinking at the moment, why wasn't he in such a mood when he came out of the manor?
"Your Majesty...... There are so many treasures in the hands of this Su Wen, is it a bit inappropriate, can we ......" After seeing Li Er, many words suppressed in Wei Chi Jingde's heart were directly said without hesitation.
It's just that.
As soon as his words fell, he was resolutely opposed by Cheng Yanjin on the side.
"Brother Wei Chi, I think we have reached a consensus on this matter, how can you say such a thing in front of Your Majesty? Do you know what the consequences of this are? Cheng Yanjin looked at Yu Chi Jingde with some dissatisfaction and said.
He thought that the other party had understood what he meant, but he didn't expect that after seeing the emperor again, he would put forward this idea again.
If Su Wen's things were so easy to control, how could he and the emperor wait until now?
"I'm just putting my opinion on it to Your Majesty, and I'm going to say what I really think, and how to do it...... It depends on His Majesty's intentions! Wei Chi Jingde did not have any change in expression because of Cheng Yanjin's complaints, but was very calm.
For him, all this is actually not a conflict, if he can control those things of Su Wen in his own hands, of course, he must achieve this at all costs.
If you can't do it anyway, then think about how to control Su Wen, and think of all the possibilities This is the best way!
"Okay, okay......" Li Er said that he understood Wei Chi Jingde's thoughts very well, why didn't he want to do this?
It's a pity.
There had already been a time when it had been proven that this would not work anyway, and there was no benefit other than the complete loss of Su Wen, so Li Er did not hesitate to reject Wei Chi Jingde's idea.
"It's good that you can think about me at any time, but in this matter of Su Wen, you have to learn more from Lao Cheng, Su Wen must not use coercive means to deal with him, otherwise...... How can it be extremely painful! Li Er looked at Yu Chi Jingde very seriously and said.
With Li Er speaking in person, Wei Chi Jingde certainly didn't have any reason to refute.
In the following time, they talked about what they had seen and heard in the manor, including the new things that Su Wen took out this time, and Wei Chi Jingde's very detailed introduction to Li Er.
By the time they left the palace, it was completely dark.
Cheng Yanjin seemed to be a little unhappy, since he left the main hall, he didn't take the initiative to say a word to Yu Chi Jingde, he was about to leave the palace, and he still didn't mean to deal with Yu Chi Jingde.
"I said Brother Cheng, I just told Your Majesty what I really thought, why are you so angry?" Yu Chi Jingde looked at me with some puzzlement, and Cheng Yanjin asked.
He felt that he had done nothing wrong, and that these thoughts had not been taken into actual action, and they would not be known to Su Wen, so that they would not have any impact on the facts.
"It's wrong to even think so! I'm telling you...... That's what I thought about at the beginning, and I almost caused Su Wen and all his things to be lost to us! ”
"Think about it, if today's incident is known to Su Wen, and he completely disappears with all his things, what can we do with him?"
"So many good things, if they all disappeared overnight, do you know what it would be like?" Cheng Yanjin stared at Yu Chi Jingde angrily and said.
He had already experienced such a thing once, and he didn't want Wei Chi Jingde to follow his old path again, once they completely lost Su Wen, then everything they had done before would be in vain!
Wei Chi Jingde was silent......
What he had to admit was that he really didn't think so much like Cheng Yanjin, he just felt that he was responsible for the emperor by doing so.
"Alright...... I promise you that nothing like this will happen again in the future! After a long time, Yu Chi Jin looked at Cheng Yanjin very seriously and said.
Before Cheng Yanjin could answer, a soldier quickly rushed to the outside of the palace and walked towards the two, and when he came to Wei Chi Jingde, the soldier handed him a letter very respectfully.
"General Qiyu, someone asked the villain to hand over this letter to you personally!"
"Huh?" Wei Chi Jingde frowned.
"Who?"
"The other party didn't indicate his identity, just left this letter and quickly disappeared, there have been such things before, so the villain brought the letter as soon as possible!" The soldier said very respectfully.
Wei Chi Jingde nodded slowly, and waved his hand so that the soldiers could leave, indeed as the other party said, such a thing was a very common thing in his hands.
To know.
There are a lot of spies he has spent, and many of the news cannot be reported to him directly, let alone let others know their identity, so they transmit information in this most primitive way.
Without any hesitation, Wei Chi Jingde read the contents of the letter as quickly as possible.
It's just that.
When he put down the letter again, the look on his face became extremely gloomy.
Originally, in order to avoid suspicion, Cheng Yanjin had consciously distanced himself from Wei Chi Jingde, but when he found that the other party's face was not quite right, he didn't know why, he always had a bad premonition.
"Take a look......" Yu Chi Jingde came to Cheng Yanjin's side and handed him the letter just now.
"What is this?"
"Just look at it......"
Cheng Yanjin first glanced at Wei Chi Jingde, and then read the content of the letter, and when he put down the letter, the look on his face was not much better than that of Wei Chi Jingde.
"After Su Wen came back, he was mentioning the princess, and we were still persuading him not to think too much, but I didn't expect this Hou Junji to be so bold and really dare to do it to the princess!" Cheng Yanjin's face was gloomy to the extreme.
Let's be honest.
He once thought that Hou Junji might do something out of the ordinary, after all, when their bet went on, the other party's fate might not be good.
But.
He never imagined that Hou Junji's courage would reach such a level.
To know.
Even if Li Yi is not as good as the ordinary prince and princess to a large extent, she has the identity of a princess after all, and moving Li Yi is equivalent to slapping the emperor in the face.
This is not a trivial matter, once it is found out, it is a sin to raid the house.
Cheng Yanjin really couldn't understand, why did Hou Junji do such a thing?
"What should we do now?" Wei Chi Jingde's face was still not good-looking.
He and Cheng Biting Jin tried their best to dissuade Su Wen at the beginning, reassuring him that Li Yi would never have an accident, but now that the other party really had an accident, if Su Wen thought about it, both of them were a little difficult to explain.
What's more.
He just made such a suggestion in front of the emperor, if he didn't do something next, Wei Chi Jingde always felt that there might be some disaster left.
"Judging from the time, Su Wen should still be resting now, and he may not come out for a while, during this time, we must rescue the princess!"
"And ...... You must not let go of this Hou Junji, he has already done this job, what else does he dare not do? Cheng Yanjin took a deep breath, looked at Yu Chi Jingde and said very seriously.
Things have found this step, the gambling contract between them is no longer important, Hou Junji is killing himself, and no one can help him in this matter!
"Would you like to ask Your Majesty first?" Wei Chi Jingde hesitated.
After all, this matter is related to the royal family, and the first thing he can think of is naturally to let the emperor know about this matter.
"It's too late, if something happens to the princess during this period, it will be difficult for us to explain whether it is to the emperor or Su Wen, so we had better go and arrest people immediately!" Cheng Yanjin grabbed Wei Chi Jingde, and didn't give the other party a chance to refuse at all.
Of course.
At this time, Wei Chi Jingde had already understood the importance of the matter, and he did not hesitate to follow Cheng Yanjin out of the palace and go directly to the barracks.
Moreover.
Hundreds of soldiers gathered as quickly as they could, and headed as fast as they could towards the address on the letter.
Now.
It doesn't matter where that letter came from, what matters is how to ensure Li Yi's safety.
The two of them moved very quickly, and an hour later, they surrounded the small courtyard where Hou Junji was, and until this time, Hou Junji in the courtyard had not reacted.
He hadn't rested for a long time, and this time the matter had basically been settled for him, so at this time he fell asleep in the room where Li Yi was being held.
Maybe I never dreamed that I had no way out at this time......
