Chapter 347: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole
There is one thing that Qin Mubai knows very well, he has done such a thing, and the most stressful and painful thing at the moment is not himself, not the Qin family, but Princess Gaoyang, the daughter-in-law who is about to pass today.
In other words, it is an ordinary person, no matter what the reason, a man who is about to get married has a night of love with another woman on the eve of his previous marriage, and he has to be crazy if he doesn't go berserk, at least this marriage is not to think about ending for the time being.
But at this moment, the most determined person standing by Qin Mubai's side is Princess Gaoyang. She was even more determined than Qin Mubai's brother.
Looking at the messy room and the cold four corpses, Princess Gao Yang's slightly immature face did not show half of panic and hesitation. She walked up to Qin Mubai and sat down, looked at him with big eyes without blinking, and said, "Mubai, you don't need to explain, I know everything." ”
"You know?" Qin Mubai was confused, "I don't know, how do you know?" ”
As soon as he heard this, Qin Tong was surprised, and he hurriedly said, "Third brother, what did you do yourself, without knowing it?" ”
"What did the eldest brother say about this? It's as if Mu Bai has committed some crime! How can you do this, brother, if something happens, you don't think of a way for your brother first, and you think he deserves to die first? Princess Gaoyang retorted to Qin Tong a few times unceremoniously, and snorted coldly, "You are still the elder brother who grew up with him, and you don't know him at all." Is Mu Bai such a frivolous and unseemly person? ”
"Ling'er, don't say a word." Qin Mubai stopped him and got up to face Qin Daodao, "Big brother, I really don't remember anything. I was drugged, tricked, and trapped. ”
Qin Tong was refuted for a while by Princess Gaoyang, and he was speechless with shame. Hearing Qin Mubai's words, he couldn't help but be a little surprised: "There is such a thing, who is so bold?!" ”
"Big brother, this is obviously not a trivial matter. With Mu Bai's status today, the one who dares to have a little hand over him is definitely not Xiao Xiao's generation. Besides, the place where the attack was started was still the harem of the imperial city, and it was the concubine left behind by Emperor Gaozu who participated in the conspiracy, and the four corpses that fell at the scene were by no means ordinary people before their deaths. It's so obvious that you can't see it? Princess Gao Yang said.
Qin Tong's thick eyebrows tightened and he said in a deep voice: "In this way, it is a huge political conspiracy? ”
"I don't understand politics." Princess Gao Yang said, "I only know that my man is in trouble, and I will fight with this life to save him from disaster." Big brother, Mu Bai's life and death are related to the survival of the Qin family and the safety of the country. This is not as simple as a murder case. In public and private, you must firmly support Mu Baicai. ”
"Good!" After all, Qin Tong was a straightforward and fiery man, and he gritted his steel teeth and said, "Now, the life of the foolish brother is gone!" Princess, tell me what you want me to do. ”
"You and the second brother, you must try your best to ensure the safety of the Qin family, so that Mu Bai does not have to worry about the future." Princess Gao Yang said, "In addition, beware of someone taking advantage of the chaos to plot to kill Mu Bai's life. You should pay close attention to his diet and daily life in case of accidents. ”
"I see." Qin Tong nodded.
Qin Mubai stood aside, watching the two of them talk word by word, silent. After they finished speaking, Qin Mubai smiled slightly and said, "Ling'er, hearing you say this, I feel like I'm going to be imprisoned?" ”
"It's inevitable." Princess Gaoyang frowned lightly and said to Qin Mubai, "I'm going to wronged you first, Mu Bai." Just now I inquired, my father suddenly fainted. Such things must be handled by the emperor himself. Now that he has fainted, the case has to be put on hold for the time being. Such a big thing, no one dares to call the shots except for his father. I heard that my father discussed this matter with the eldest grandson Wuji, Chu Suiliang and Fang Xuanling. If nothing else, it should be one of these three people to assist his father in hearing the case. ”
"Still trial?" Qin Mubai couldn't help but smile, "You are wrong, Ling'er, such a case will definitely not be tried openly." Or, I, Qin Mubai, will be given a cup of poisonous wine, and then quietly sink in the Taiye Pool. Either I'll be let go and act like nothing happened, continue to be my colt, and continue with our wedding. ”
"What?" Qin Tong exclaimed with Princess Gaoyang.
Qin Mubai glanced at the two of them on the left and right, and said, "Actually, I have already heard the rumors and know that someone is trying to harm me. It's just that day and night defense, after all, it can't be prevented. After so many days, I have been careful to be vigilant, and nothing has happened. Unexpectedly, on the eve of the wedding, when His Majesty suddenly summoned me to the palace, I fell in love with them. Now that I think about it, I probably understand that one of the sake I drank that day must have been drugged. However, in the wine that the emperor and the king of Jin drank, there was nothing to do. Therefore it must have been in the cup that I used. Then I got into the carriage and fell asleep, unconscious, and woke up in this bed. ”
"It seems that the person who wants to harm you is really hand-eyed, and even the eunuchs around the Emperor of Penglai Hall have been bribed and used." Qin Tong exclaimed, "Princess, can you find a way to find out this person?" If you can catch this accomplice, you can return your innocence. ”
"It's late, big brother." Qin Mubai smiled slightly, "Looking at the corpses of these four eunuchs in the room, you should be able to think that the person who can give me the medicine must also be killed." ”
"Not good!" Qin Tong exclaimed loudly.
"What's wrong?"
"Those two concubines!" Qin Tong punched anxiously, "They are not only accomplices, but they must also be aware!" Is there also a danger of being extinguished? ”
Qin Mubai blinked: "Big brother, go and take a look, won't you know?" ”
Qin Tong nodded, opened the door and ran out, shouting loudly outside, and called a team of people to go to the courtyard where the second concubine was held.
Sure enough, the body of the second concubine was hanging on the beam, the body was still warm, and it was obvious that she had just died.
Qin Tong looked at the corpses of these two women, a chill ran from head to toe, and he muttered repeatedly: "It's over, it's over, it's really over now...... So vicious! ”
In the room, Qin Mubai, who should have been restless and worried, was calm and tight. He got up and slowly closed the door, walked to Princess Gaoyang and sat down, poured her a cup of tea with a smile, and said, "Ling'er, seeing that you are so haggard, didn't you sleep all night last night?" ”
Princess Gao Yang nodded, as if she was enduring something, her hands were a little pale and trembling, she took the teacup and took a shallow sip.
Messy room, surrounded by corpses, this tea will never be romantic. But at this moment, Princess Gao Yang clearly felt that a hanging heart was slowly falling.
Only with Qin Mubai will she be so stable. Even if she knew that the two of them were going to Huangquan together in the next moment, she would be at ease.
Qin Mubai stretched out a hand, gently wiped it over her scar with a thin layer of blood scabs, and said softly, "Why are you so stupid!" Wouldn't it be nice to know that I'm safe and sound here? If you have half a cent, who will I marry when I return safe and sound? ”
Princess Gaoyang's tears finally flowed down very uncontrollably, and she quickly cried bitterly and plunged into Qin Mubai's arms.
At this moment, Qin Mubai felt unprecedented relief.
Originally, although he was planted, Qin Mubai still felt a little guilty for doing such a bastard thing on the eve of the wedding. But at this moment, it was Princess Gaoyang's open-mindedness and firmness that made him feel a trace of warmth in the extremely cold place, which penetrated his heart.
"Mu Bai, the demon broke into the palace in the middle of the night last night to see me, and brought a message from Su Lianqing, I know everything. Then, I went to see my father in the middle of the night and told him what was going on. At the same time, Su Lianqing climbed over the wall and went into the house to see Fang Xuanling......" Princess Gaoyang was in Qin Mubai's arms, whimpering and saying.
Qin Mubai patted Princess Gaoyang's back and said softly, "Needless to say, I know everything......"
"Ahh Princess Gao Yang raised her head with a scream, "You know everything? ”
Qin Mubai looked at Princess Gaoyang's tearful eyes, nodded lightly, and said, "The only thing I didn't expect was that they would use such a vicious strategy and not hesitate to insult the dignity of the first emperor. Actually, His Majesty has known about it for a long time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so stable now, and I would have been corrected on the spot as soon as possible. If something like this happens, no matter who is right or wrong, I will definitely die. Isn't it? ”
"Original...... Did you premeditate? Why didn't you tell me and tell me earlier!! Princess Gao Yang was angry and anxious, picked up her pink fist and smashed it Qin Mubai's chest, and cried loudly at the same time.
"I'm sorry, Ling'er. This matter is not only about my personal life and death, but also about Your Majesty's honor and disgrace, the current situation of the imperial court and the future of the Tang Dynasty. Qin Mubai said, "Forgive me for my selfishness. ”
"I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!!" Princess Gaoyang cried hysterically, making Qin Mubai's clothes all wet.
With a "bang", the door was slammed open, and Qin Tong broke in. was about to shout urgently, and couldn't help but stop seeing this scene.
Qin Mubai glanced back at Qin Tong and said, "Is the second concubine already dead?" ”
Qin Tong nodded.
Qin Mubai also nodded, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "It's good to die, it's cheap for them." ”
"Third brother, what now?" Qin Tonggang gritted his steel teeth, and said in a general way, "Now, you can escape with Her Royal Highness the Princess!" While my brother can still control the situation here, I will send you out of the palace. You run away and never come back! ”
Qin Mubai smiled slightly, patted Princess Gaoyang's shoulder and asked her to leave her arms, stood up and said, "Big brother, send me to prison!" ”
"What did you say?"
"Just do what I say, it'll be fine, big brother." Qin Mubai smiled with a firm expression.
Qin Tong was dumbfounded, looking at Qin Mubai and Princess Gaoyang suspiciously, puzzled.
"Big brother, you don't need to say more, you will know in the future. Send me to prison quickly, otherwise you and the Qin family will be implicated. Qin Mubai said.
Qin Tong was at a loss, and looked at Princess Gaoyang undecidedly, asking for her opinion.
Princess Gao Yang wiped her tears and nodded.
Qin Tong finally nodded and shouted: "Come on, tie up Qin Mubai and put him in prison!" ”
Princess Gao Yang hurriedly whispered, "Big brother, you must ensure that Mu Bai is complete!" Don't let anyone take advantage of the chaos to murder him or abuse him! ”
"I know, the princess can rest assured. Mu Bai is also my own brother! ”
Qin Mubai was finally tied up and thrown into the prison, or a private prison for hundreds of horses, which is rarely used to hold prisoners. It is said that at least since the opening of the Hundred Horses, except for a few maids of Princess Gaoyang before, there have been less than ten prisoners here.
The prisoners here have always been personally interrogated by the emperor for trial, convicted, and then secretly disposed of by the hundred horsemen and never made public.
The Hundred Cavalry Prison is the most mysterious "spy agency" in Datang.
Qin Mubai never thought that one day he would personally squat in the Hundred Cavalry Prison that he had set up.
The prison does not look like a prison, a separate courtyard, not only does it not have bloodstains, torture tools and the like, but also birds and flowers, good wine and good food.
Superb treatment of political prisoners. A pot of warm wine and a few dishes of side dishes, Qin Mubai poured himself a drink, surrounded by eight hundred cavalry guards standing as quiet as a stone sculpture, their eyes were complicated.
Qin Mubai was calm, and soon he was full of wine and food, and fell asleep. Last night was too tiring, so I had to get some sleep and make up for it.
In another place outside the palace, in the once famous bamboo silk pavilion, there is a staggered and happy scene.
"!" Li Yuanchang, the king of Han, raised his wine glass and laughed loudly, "Happy! Joyfully! The wedding is canceled, the people are dead, and there is no proof of death! Presumably at this moment, even if the person surnamed Qin was not broken into pieces, he would be put into prison and eaten and waiting to die. ”
"Your Highness really has a brilliant plan." The eldest grandson raised his glass and said, "A great achievement for His Highness to get rid of the fierce enemy, a toast!" ”
"By the way, why didn't Fang Yiai come?"
"I've sent someone to invite me, and I'm sure I'm about to arrive. He, after returning from the desert, he may be suffocated, and the three maidens of the night are common. It's probably a little late to wake up from a hangover, I'll wait and feast, I don't have to wait for him. Li Yuanchang laughed.
At this time, a pair of twin sisters dressed in bright and charming clothes floated in, kneeling down beside Li Yuanchang with pots and cups, and chanted: "Please change the wine and food for Your Highness." ”
"Good, good!" Li Yuanchang laughed loudly, so uncomfortable and unpleasant.
The eldest grandson is a person of knowledge, and at this time he smiled knowingly: "Your Highness is so blessed!" ”
Li Yuanchang laughed, hugged a beauty on the left and right and said, "The two Ai Ji finally agreed to Xiao Wang and be Xiao Wang's widow!" Brother eldest grandson, when Brother Fang comes, we will discuss choosing a good day and an auspicious day, and hold a wedding banquet to celebrate. Haha, I can't eat the wedding wine in the palace, and Xiao Wang is here! ”
"That's a good idea." The eldest grandson also smiled, "There are two heavens of sorrow and joy, it is best that the person surnamed Qin is not dead at this moment, and he has to let him look at His Highness to do happy things." By the way, Your Highness, haven't you always had a little blind girl you like, what kind of demon is it? Marry them too! ”
"That slut!" Li Yuanchang took a sip hatefully, hugged the beauty beside him tightly and said, "I have the favor of the Lantai sisters, what do I need her for?" It's just that the resentful little king can't stand it. didn't say anything, after the surname Qin was completely finished, I called a little servant to tie her up with a hemp rope. What Yiguo Gong and Qin Immortal Pavilion are not worth mentioning in Xiao Wang's opinion. That slut was blind and kept pretending to be high in front of Xiao Wang, and then Xiao Wang was going to strip her naked and throw her in the middle of a group of beggars, and she was humiliated until she died, so that she went down to the ground to find the surname Qin to cry! ”
The Lantai sisters were very cooperative, trembling in fright, and drilled straight into Li Yuanchang's body, Li Yuanchang hurriedly reassured: "Don't be afraid, baby, Xiao Wang has always only dealt with his own enemies. For the heart and liver baby, it's too late to love! ”
"What if one day, our sisters make a mistake, will Your Highness treat us the same?" Sister Tantai Dandan whispered in fear.
"No, no, a hundred days of husband and wife in one night, how can Xiao Wang be so ruthless?" Li Yuanchang smiled hesitantly, "As long as you serve me well......"
"Villain, try to take advantage!" The younger sister Tantai both pushed Li Yuanchang, and the two sisters got out of his body together and left angrily.
Li Yuanchang laughed and drank a full glass of wine.
The eldest grandson said with a smile: "Your Highness, depending on the situation, you haven't completely subdued these two sisters?" ”
"There's no rush. It is both a gem and should be tasted slowly. Li Yuanchang let out a hearty breath and said with a smile: "The sisters insisted that they would not be willing to sleep together until they had officially married." There is no shortage of women around Xiao Wang, and he is not in a hurry! Women, that's it. What you can't get is the best, and the sooner you get started, the more boring it is. Let them keep the mystery for an extra day, and the more attractive it will be. Xiao Wang's heart is also a little more interesting. Brother Eldest Sun, I'm not as good as you else, when it comes to playing with women, you're definitely not as experienced as me, haha! ”
"Haha, Your Highness is already in full swing, and the younger brother sighs to himself. Your Highness, please, little brother toasts you! The eldest grandson said with a smile.
The two of them toasted again. Soon, half an hour has passed, and the love of the house still hasn't come. But the two of them were already half drunk, and they forgot about him to the clouds.
At this moment, Tantai Dandan was walking out of Li Yuanchang's bedroom, and his sister Tantai, who was watching the wind outside, hurriedly greeted him: "Found it?" ”
"Found it! That thief should be damned, last night to coax us to sleep, the nonsense he said after getting drunk was true! Underneath his sleeping bunk lies a subtle mechanism. It took a lot of effort for me to open it, and there was a dark room underneath! In addition to treasures and mundane things like gold and silver, I finally found such a thing! With a wave of his hand, he was wrapped in a faded gray cloth bag.
"Yay! We've finally done our job and can get out! This item must be extremely important, and it is very likely to be related to General Qin's life! Be sure to send it to Sister Su as soon as possible! ”
"Good! …… Sister, Li Yuanchang has been slighting us many times, and I can't bear it anymore! Do you want to kill him with a sword to relieve the hatred in your heart? ”
"No! General Qin has his own arrangements for this matter, and we only take care of our own affairs! Needless to say, it's important to get out - go! ”
……
Hundred Riders Prison.
Qin's mother, Liu, carried a small food box, accompanied by Shuang'er and You'er, and stood in front of the camp together. The guards recognized them and were very embarrassed. It wasn't to stop them, and it wasn't to let people in, so they had to stand in front of them and turn their faces away, and sigh loudly.
"A few little brothers don't have to sigh. Although I am a woman, I also know the rules. Liu's eyes were red, and he said in a weak voice, "This palace, I came in; Hundred Horsemen Camp, I came in; I must also go into this prison camp. I know that whoever enters the prison of the Hundred Horsemen will not be seen again except His Majesty the Emperor. But this time, let's ask a few little guys to be accommodating, I'm just bringing some of my own food to my child. His gluttony, this meal, I'm afraid it's his severed head meal, don't you want me to be a mother, do you have a snack? ”
After that, Liu and Shuang'er Demon both cried together. The guards were so angry that their eyes were red.
"Old lady, please come in! But please don't delay too long and make it difficult for us. ”
"Okay, thank you, little brother!"
The three girls walked into the small courtyard, and Qin Mubai was standing on the tree and pondering. Seeing his mother and sisters coming, he was suddenly pleasantly surprised, but his expression was still full of sadness and remorse, and he quickly greeted his mother and bowed down.
"The child is not filial, and the mother is sad!"
"I'm up!"
The three women gathered Qin Mubai around the core and pulled him up, and the demon was quick, so he stuffed something into Qin Mubai's hands.
It's a tubular object! Qin Mubai comprehended it in his heart, quickly put it in his sleeve, and then hugged his mother and sisters and cried.
In this situation, the hundred cavalry guards who supervised the scene were not easy to come up and interfere, and they sighed with a sigh - "It's really not as good as the sky, just now it was infinitely beautiful, and in a blink of an eye, life and death were parting!" ”
Late at night, Qin Mubai was half-asleep and half-awake.
In the dream, a picture of Jin Ge Iron Horse clearly emerged.
…… The sunset over the ancient city, the fiery horse and the spear; The blood washes the red tassels, and the iron rider breaks through the eight wildernesses!
Now, he is behind bars.
is full of Lingyunzhi, but he can't fly through the shackles of the cage, and he can't dodge the cold guns and arrows. Qin Mubai has no interest in these open and secret battles, and just wants to be able to do something he wants to do in his lifetime.
However, there are always endless troubles lingering and entangled, lingering and slashing.
A whole circle of hundred horsemen around his bedroom suddenly withdrew in order. Although he barely made a sound with his light hands and feet, Qin Mubai, who woke up from sleep, still noticed it, and immediately jumped up and got out of bed.
The door was pushed open, and a man appeared in a black cloak that covered his head.
"Mu Bai."
The familiar voice made Qin Mubai's heart warm.
"Your Majesty'......"
"Needless to say, long story short."
The person who came was Li Shimin!
He walked up to Qin Mubai, and a pair of eyes under the black cloak looked at him with a complex expression.
"Your Majesty already knows everything. All Wei Chen can do, just give this thing to Your Majesty! Qin Mubai said, took out a tubular cloth bag from his sleeve and handed it to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin stretched out his hand to take it and held it tightly in his hand, his knuckles rattled.
The dust on the bag had not yet gone, and when he reached out to remove the rope that sealed the mouth of the bag, a puff of dust dusted off. Li Shimin's hands paused for a moment, then turned his eyes to look at Qin Mubai appreciatively, and nodded.
Very good, no one has opened this cloth bag before Li Shimin. Qin Mubai, no.
The cloth bag was opened, and Li Shimin slowly pulled out an apricot-colored scroll from it - the Holy Decree!
Qin Mubai's heart was shocked: Holy decree?
Could it be that it was left by the first emperor?!
Of course he didn't ask.
Li Shimin only glanced at it hurriedly, and he couldn't see any emotional changes between his serious and cold expressions, and then quickly put it away and put it in his arms.
After staring at Qin Mubai, Li Shimin turned around and left.
From beginning to end, Qin Mubai didn't say anything more.
It's just that in my heart, I breathed a long breath!
Fortunately, I resisted my curiosity and didn't open the bag. That holy decree, no matter what the origin is, except for Li Shimin, it must be who sees who dies!
Li Yuanchang, you're finished!
This bitter plan of "luring the snake out of the hole" is only half of the success at this time today!
It's just that I don't know what "big snake" will be introduced next, so we can only wait and see!
