Chapter 245: Exchange

Feng Yu didn't believe a word about what Zhao Zongqi said now, even if Zhao Zongqi's love for her was true, but for his own interests, Zhao Zongqi would definitely attack her in the end.

"You don't have to bother making up so much, after all, I don't believe anything you say."

Feng Yu looked directly into Zhao Zongqi's eyes, and said expressionlessly: "Don't talk nonsense, tell me directly, what did you do to my father?" ”

"Your Majesty?" Zhao Zongqi chuckled, stood up and looked at Feng Yu, and said, "Don't worry, the emperor is fine now." ”

Feng Yu believed this sentence, after all, Zhao Zongqi didn't dare to do anything to the emperor now.

"Zhao Zongqi, what do you want to do to arrest my father?"

The smile on Zhao Zongqi's face did not fade, and he would have this expression on his face when facing everyone.

"It's very simple, as long as you give me that list, I will release the emperor."

Hearing Zhao Zongqi's condition, Feng Yu sneered, "Didn't you praise me for being smart just now?" What, now think I'm going to be stupid enough to give you the list? ”

"If you arrest my father and let him go, you won't be able to escape yourself, so this quid pro quo is not valid at all, unless you don't want to live."

Lowering his head and smiling, Zhao Zongqi walked to the chair next to him and sat down, and said, "You are indeed smart, but the emperor doesn't know that I designed it behind my back." ”

"At that time, even if you sue the emperor, I will die and refuse to admit it, and the emperor will not be able to do anything to me."

"In short, I don't have to worry about my safety, I have a way to stay alone."

Feng Yu looked at Zhao Zongqi, the two looked at each other, and after a while, Feng Yu nodded, "Okay, just according to what you said, I will hand over the list to you, and you will release my father." ”

"However, I will not be able to give you the list until I have made sure of my father's safety."

Zhao Zongqi looked at Feng Yu with some tears and laughter, and asked rhetorically, "Don't you believe me?" ”

"Do you think you deserve my trust?" Feng Yu also asked rhetorically.

After being stunned for a moment, Zhao Zongqi burst out laughing, as if Fengyu had said something particularly funny.

After laughing for a moment, Zhao Zongqi finally stopped laughing, looked at Feng Yu and said, "Where is the list?" I'll send someone to fetch it. ”

"You can't get it." The expression on Feng Yu's face did not change in the slightest, and she looked at Zhao Zongqi and said calmly: "Because the list is not with me." ”

"The list is with Xiao Yan."

The smile on Zhao Zongqi's face gradually disappeared, he stood up and walked in front of Feng Yu, looking at her indifferently, "You're kidding me." ”

As he spoke, Zhao Zongqi turned around and strode to the table, slamming his hands on the table, and suddenly, Zhao Zongqi turned to look at Fengyu.

"You dare to trick me, it seems that you have decided that I don't dare to do anything, then I will let the emperor taste some hardship, and it will be the price you pay for playing me!"

Hearing Zhao Zongqi's words, Feng Yu's face suddenly changed, and she immediately said, "The list is really not with me." ”

"At that time, after I got that list, I was worried that it would not be safe for me to put such an important thing, so I gave it to Xiao Yan."

"It's safer for him than for me."

Zhao Zongqi looked at Feng Yu with a serious expression, squinted his eyes and said, "Really? You'd better think about it, if you dare to lie to me, I'm afraid the emperor's life will not be guaranteed. ”

Laughing sarcastically, Feng Yu asked rhetorically: "Do you think that the list is safer on me than on Xiao Yan?" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Zongqi felt that what Feng Yu said did make sense, but he thought differently from Feng Yu, Zhao Zongqi felt that Xiao Yan was holding the list to protect Feng Yu.

After all, there are many people who covet this list, and whoever has this list in their hands is in danger.

"Okay, I'll take your word for it, the list is on Xiao Yan."

Zhao Zongqi walked to the table, took a pen and ink and put it on the table, and then looked at Feng Yu, "You write to Xiao Yan and ask him to bring the list to save you." ”

"Okay."

Happily agreed, Feng Yu got up and walked to the desk, picked up the pen and began to write a letter, with smooth movements without dragging the water.

When Feng Yu wrote the letter, Zhao Zongqi was watching from the side, and after Feng Yu finished writing, he checked it to confirm that it was correct before putting it away.

"Next, please ask the princess to be wronged."

Zhao Zongqi smiled and made a gesture of please, Feng Yu glanced at him, and then walked forward obediently.

After locking Fengyu in the secret room, Zhao Zongqi left the house, all he had to do now was to deliver the letter to Xiao Yan, and then ambush it in advance, just wait for the turtle to be caught in the urn.

After Feng Yu was locked in the secret room, the calm expression on her face changed instantly, she didn't expect Zhao Zongqi to be so bold.

Now that his father is under control, he is also locked up, and Xiao Yan, Zhao Zongqi will definitely not let him go.

"I have to get out of here."

Feng Yu's eyes became resolute, she struggled to break free from the ropes that bound her, and then looked for a switch in the secret room to escape.

When looking for the mechanism, Feng Yu accidentally saw the letter in the drawer, there was no word on the envelope, Feng Yu felt a little suspicious, so she opened the letter and took out the letter paper.

There are only a few words on the letter, but it makes Feng Yu discover a bigger clue, that is, the last signature, which turned out to be the general of the border pass.

"Zhao Zongqi's hand has been stretched out so long, and he has dealings with the generals at the border pass, but ...... Are he and Xiao Qishan in the same group? ”

Feng Yu looked at the letter in her hand, and a bad premonition rose in her heart, if Zhao Zongqi was Xiao Qishan's person, then their power was already huge enough to confront the capital.

However, Feng Yu is most worried about Xiao Yan now, there are very few people who are sincere to the emperor now, and the only person who has military power in his hands but has no second heart is Xiao Yan.

So they will definitely deal with Xiao Yan first, so that maybe they can succeed in rebellion without spending a single soldier.

Here, after Xiao Yan knew that the emperor was missing, he immediately sent someone to secretly look for news, but within a while, someone came to report that Fengyu was missing.

"How could the princess be gone?"

The guard kneeling on the ground clasped his hands into fists and said respectfully: "General Hui, the princess and her subordinates are looking for the emperor together, and the princess is protected by someone, so let's look for it separately." ”

"But before the time for tea, the princess was gone, and her subordinates had already sent people around to look for clues."

Xiao Yan's face was extremely pale, he looked at the busy soldiers around him, hesitated, and said to the soldiers kneeling on the ground: "You take a wave of people to protect the queen mother, be sure to protect me." ”

"Yes, my subordinates are commanded."

Watching the guards get up and leave, Xiao Yan said loudly: "The rest of the people, speed up and look for the emperor and princess, no matter what clues you find, report to me immediately." ”

"Yes, General."

Xiao Yan clenched his fists tightly, looking ahead with a gloomy face, the emperor and Feng Yu disappeared one after the other, there must be something related to this, if Xiao Qishan sent someone to do it, there should be news soon.

As soon as he said that, a soldier quickly ran to Xiao Yan, bowed his head and presented a letter with both hands, "General, someone outside the door asked his subordinates to hand over this letter to the general." ”

Seeing the words on the envelope, Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, this is Fengyu's words.

"Go and stop the messenger, and don't let him leave without my permission."

Xiao Yan eagerly opened the letter, there were not many words on the letter, but the meaning was concise and clear, Fengyu said that she had been arrested, and asked Xiao Yan to bring the list to save her.

"Sure enough, it's for the list."

Holding the letter, Xiao Yan strode out of the door and came to the door, "Who sent this letter?" ”

"General, that's him!"

A shabby man knelt on the ground and looked at Xiao Yan, and stammered, "General, is it...... It was a letter from the grass people. ”

"Who gave you this letter?" Xiao Yan looked at the man sternly and said, "If you dare to lie, I will kill you." ”

Frightened by Xiao Yan, the man trembled and begged for mercy: "The general spares his life, I'm ...... I'm the one who delivered the letter, and I don't know anything. ”

Looking at the man with fixed eyes, Xiao Yan grabbed his collar with a gloomy face, and said angrily: "Let me ask you, who gave you the letter?" ”

"The general spares his life, I really don't know, the man is wearing a hat, the brim is low, and he has his back to me, I don't see his face."

The man's legs trembled with fright, Xiao Yan let go of him, and then said, "You go." ”

"General Xie, General Xie."

The man ran away with a frightened face, stumbling with steps, Xiao Yan looked at his back, and said to the soldier beside him: "Send someone to follow him and see if he has any contact with suspicious people." ”

"Yes."

Unfolded the letter and looked at it, Xiao Yan noticed that something was wrong, this was obviously a trap, but for Fengyu's safety, even if it was a trap, he had to go.

"Gather the men and follow me to save the princess."

Zhao Zongqi knew that Feng Yu and Xiao Yan had a close relationship, and as long as Feng Yu was in danger, Xiao Yan would definitely come to save her, so after sending the letter out, Zhao Zongqi set up an ambush on the road.

"Lord Wang, will Xiao Yan come?"

Zhao Zongqi glanced at the attendant who was speaking, and said confidently: "Wait, he will come." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the spy came back to spread the word, saying that Xiao Yan had brought someone here.

Hooking his lips, Zhao Zongqi said: "Be quiet for me, wait for him to enter my trap, and then surround them." ”

"Yes, lord."

Xiao Yan was worried about Fengyu's safety, so he was a little uncertain along the way, he knew that there must be danger ahead, but for Fengyu's sake, he could only break through.

"Drive!"

The horse galloped forward, Xiao Yan glanced at the soldiers behind him, and then increased his speed.

Suddenly, a few people appeared in front of him, followed by more and more people, and then, Xiao Yan saw Zhao Zongqi.

"Zhao Zongqi, it's really you."

Xiao Yan rode on a horse, looked at the archers around him, and said coldly: "What about the emperor and the princess?" ”

Walking out of the crowd, Zhao Zongqi looked at Xiao Yan and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "The emperor is safe and sound, as for the princess, ......"

"What do I want?"
