Chapter 196: Burning the Great Ship

The next day, after Qi Tong's deliberate publicity, Liu Anchen's assassination was widely rumored in Fenghe City.

And the protagonist of the incident was escorted back to Kyoto Castle by officers and soldiers at this time.

In the small study, Zhong Xuanlan listened to Wang Xiao's report on the matter, nodded slightly, changed the topic, and asked, "Where did Master Cheng send the grain that the Liu family wanted?" ”

Wang Xiao said with some disgust: "The people who listened to Fenglou are still inquiring. ”

In his heart, he always felt that Tingfeng Lou was not as good as the Dark Pavilion.

Zhong Xuanlan glanced at Wang Xiao coldly, "If this batch of grain is sent away, you will go back to the Dark Pavilion and let your younger brother take over you." ”

Wang Xiao was excited, and hurriedly took the order: "Yes." ”

Zhong Xuanlan knocked on the table twice, "By the way, where do the Seven Princes of Nanliang live?" ”

"Back to the master, the seven princes of Nanliang live in an inn in Xicheng, and their subordinates suspect that it is the stronghold of Nanliang.

Today, our people found out that the Prince of Mobei also stayed in this inn, and also met with the Seven Princes once, about half an hour.

Our people did not dare to approach for fear of being discovered, and there is no way to know what they talked about. ”

Zhong Xuanlan curled the corners of his lips and said, "Let people keep an eye on them, they are of great use." ”

"Yes." Wang Xiao took the order and retreated.

Time passed in a blink of an eye, and in the evening, Wang Xiao walked into the small study again.

Wang Xiao saw that Wang Xuannian was here, and looked at Zhong Xuanlan hesitantly, did he want to report it?

Zhong Xuanlan said: "Say." ”

Wang Xiaoyu reported: "Master Cheng has already transported the grain to the Fenghe ferry, and ordered someone to load the grain on a large ship transporting fabrics, and set off early tomorrow morning." ”

Zhong Xuanlan glanced at the sky outside through the window, and ordered, "Act tonight." Ten people were sent from the Dark Pavilion to guard the courtyard. ”

Wang Xiao listened to these two orders, knowing that the master was also going to participate in this operation, and persuaded him: "Master, the subordinates promise to complete the task, and the master you still stay and sit in charge." ”

After Wang Xuannian heard this, he immediately shifted his gaze to Zhong Xuanlan, "Lan'er, you want to participate in tonight's operation?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan nodded.

If she doesn't participate, how can she get the fish to take the bait?

Wang Xuannian said worriedly: "I'm going too?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan immediately refused: "No, you have to stay and protect Yang'er, the cooperation between the Zhong family and the Wang family is very important, and there can be no loss." ”

Seeing Zhong Xuanlan's tough attitude, Wang Xuannian sighed softly, and said with some loss in his heart: "I know, I will definitely protect Yang'er." ”

"Wang Xiao, go down and prepare!" After Zhong Xuanlan sent Wang Xiao away, he looked at Wang Xuannian who was sitting by the window and reminded: "Xiaofujun, this courtyard will not be peaceful tonight, you should be more careful." ”

After being silent for a long time, Wang Xuannian looked at Zhong Xuanlan with a solemn face and asked, "Lan'er, what are you going to do?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan looked coldly at the night outside, and said after a while, "Although I don't like TECO very much, I also hope that it will perish."

But my relatives will protect it with their lives and not be subjects of other countries, which makes me have to reach out to help the one in the palace. ”

When Wang Xuannian heard this, he raised his eyes to look at Zhong Xuanlan, and saw that her face was unhappy, and her body exuded coldness, so she should be extremely dissatisfied with this matter.

"I don't care what method Lan'er uses to deal with others, I just ask Lan'er to remember that there is still me at home, and my father and second brother are waiting for you to return safe and sound."

Zhong Xuanlan promised: "Well, I will come back." ”

Time flies......

At this time, Zhong Xuanlan was ambushed on a tree next to the ferry, observing the movements around him.

She whispered to Wang Xiao, "How is the arrangement over there at the inn?" ”

Wang Xiao said: "It has been arranged. ”

"Hmm." Zhong Xuanlan ordered: "Hurry up and transfer the grain, after two sticks of incense, I want to see the fire." ”

"Yes." Wang Xiao took the order and left.

After coming over for a long time, Zhong Xuanlan saw Huo Shangyu and Nangong Jinyi appear not far from the ferry.

She quickly learned from the eagle to call twice in a row to remind her subordinates.

Wang Xiao immediately ordered someone to prop the small fishing boat away, and ordered someone to pour oil on the big boat, and began to light a fire and leave.

After a while, the ship began to smoke, which was not noticeable under the cover of the night.

On the other side, Zhong Xuanlan appeared in front of Huo Shangyu and Nangong Jin, "Prince Mobei, the seventh prince of Nanliang hasn't seen you for a long time." ”

Nangong Jinyi looked at Zhong Xuanlan in surprise, "Why are you here?" ”

At this time, he didn't know that Zhong Xuanlan would be in Fenghe City, and if he did, he wouldn't come to the ferry with Huo Shangyu tonight.

Huo Shangyu curled the corners of his lips and sneered: "I really didn't expect that Master Zhong would dare to show up?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan smiled back, "Thank you Seventh Prince for coming here."

I dare to show up, and naturally prepare how to respond to the emperor. ”

Don't bother with it!

Nangong Jinyi had a bad premonition in his heart, looked at Huo Shangyu and said, "Seventh Prince, we have to get out of here quickly." ”

Huo Shangyu said: "Wait a little longer." "His people have already entered the cabin, and the fire will burn after a stick of incense, if he wants to blame Zhong Xuanlan!

At this time, the fire burned and spread rapidly. Huo Shangyu was shocked, looked at Zhong Xuanlan for a long time, and said angrily: "You set fire to the family's food? ”

Zhong Xuanlan was very happy when he saw Huo Shangyu's unhappy look, shook his right index finger, and said inconspicuously on his face: "No, no, how could it be that I set the fire?" This is a matter of no evidence, the Seventh Prince should not talk nonsense, and be careful of getting into trouble. ”

Nangong Jinyi heard the footsteps of the army, and immediately understood Zhong Xuanlan's purpose, "Seven princes, let's go, if we don't leave, it's too late." ”

Zhong Xuanlan saw that the two were leaving, stepped forward to stop the two of them, and in an instant, the three of them fought.

Zhong Xuanlan stopped the two of them while shouting loudly: "Come on, the Seven Princes of Southern Liang and the Prince of Mobei have set fire to the grain......

Nangong said cautiously: "Shut up." He was angry in his heart and was ruthless to Zhong Xuanlan.

Tonight, he planned to calculate Zhong Xuanlan and frame her for burning the family's food.

Now it seems that Zhong Xuanlan has taken the lead.

At this time, the footsteps got closer, and Zhong Xuanlan said: "I should go, I hope you like tonight's gift." ”

After speaking, Zhong Xuanlan used all his internal strength to concentrate on his left and right hands, slapped at the two of them at the same time, and quickly flew away.

Nangong Jinyi looked at the fire and said, "It seems that we have all been tricked by Zhong Xuanlan." ”

Huo Shangyu saw that his people did not come out, and they were likely to be killed by Zhong Xuanlan, and it was more likely that he and Prince Mobei would be blamed, and they had to hurry back to the inn to transfer now, otherwise it would be too late, and it was very likely that they would be stopped by officers and soldiers.

"Let's go."

As soon as Huo Shangyu's words fell, he and Nangong were about to leave, but they were stopped by several officers and soldiers.

The two looked at each other and decided to get rid of the officers and soldiers blocking the road.

When they returned to the inn, they found that the inn had been surrounded by officers and soldiers, and Princess Nanliang had been captured by Qi Tong.

The two had no choice but to leave.
