Chapter 290: Mountain Forest Mansion
After resuming dozens of steps, Yan Zixi was led by Li Yuanxiao to a vacant room.
Yan Zixi pushed the door and saw it, and immediately froze in place, not because of anything else, but because this room, whether it was the layout, or the furnishings and furniture inside, were almost exactly the same as the bedroom she lived in the General's Mansion in Beijing Town. How is this possible? Could it be that this Li Yuanxiao had already sent someone to spy on her when he was in the capital?
Thinking of this, Yan Zixi turned her head and cast a questioning glance at Li Yuanxiao.
Li Yuanxiao curled the corners of his lips and said with a faint smile: "Princess Xiao, are you still satisfied with this room?" ”
"Li Yuanxiao, what do you mean by this? Have you spied on me? Yan Zixi gritted her teeth, stared at Li Yuanxiao with her eyes, and questioned in her mouth.
Li Yuanxiao didn't answer head-on, the corners of his mouth were still a little curvature, he walked to the windowsill, gently pushed open the window, and let the bright moonlight spill into the floor of the house, he stood in the moonlight and replied: "Princess Xiao, I have long said that my Yuanxia Yipintang's intelligence ability is unparalleled in the world, but the layout of the palace is naturally not a problem. ”
"Hmph, Li Yuanxiao, you took such great pains to invite this princess over, do you just want me to appreciate your masterpiece?" Yan Zixi was relieved at the moment, Li Yuanxiao still had to continue to use himself, so he would definitely not do anything to himself. At least it won't hurt you.
Knowing this, Yan Zixi became more and more bold, walked directly to the rattan chair next to the table he was used to, leaned down, and looked at Li Yuanxiao in front of him leisurely and asked.
Li Yuanxiao didn't care about Yan Zixi's rude behavior, his handsome face was bathed in the broken flowers of the moonlight, which highlighted his softness, just like a fairy who had fallen into the world, especially his blown-up skin, which made Yan Zixi, a girl, jealous.
What kind of demon man is this? Yan Zixi sighed in her heart.
Li Yuanxiao closed the window and muttered inadvertently: "It's windy at night, so it's better to close it." After speaking, Li Yuanxiao turned around and walked towards the door.
Yan Zixi saw that Li Yuanxiao was about to go out, and hurriedly stopped him from behind, "Li Yuanxiao, you ...... You're just gone? Yan Zixi looked at Li Yuanxiao's handsome back in disbelief, and couldn't believe that he had tried his best to get himself back, but he was left in the room and ignored.
There was neither questioning nor inquiring about Xiao Jun's information from her, which really made Yan Zixi scratch her head.
"You're going to stay here tonight." Li Yuanxiao didn't say much, walked out of the room directly, gave a few orders to the guards guarding the door, asked them to take a good look at Yan Zixi, and then left here.
Yan Zixi got up and chased out, and as soon as she reached the door, she was stopped by the two guards.
"Princess Xiao, please stay, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an order, Princess Xiao is not allowed to go out, please Princess Xiao go back to the house to rest."
Yan Zixi saw that these two guards didn't give an inch, so she had to go back to the room stupidly.
came to the bed and sat down, Yan Zixi dropped the pillow and scolded that Li Yuanxiao in her mouth.
"Damn what tricks does Li Yuanxiao want to play! No, I have to find a way to send a message to Jing Cong, I must not let him ......mess up because I was arrested" But the next moment, Yan Zixi became worried, she didn't know what place this was, and she didn't even know how to get there, not to mention that there were so many guards in this mansion watching her, how easy was it to pass on the news?
"Hey, Jingcong, what the hell am I going to do? You should have returned to the camp by now, aren't you very worried if you don't see me......" Yan Zixi picked up the pillow and hugged it in her arms, falling into a state of sorrow.
……
Outside Yuncheng City, the camp of the Xiao army, and the big tent of the Chinese army.
Xiao Jingcong sat in a high position, his eyes slightly closed, his face was full of anger, and among the generals kneeling under the account, Li Hui took the lead in holding his fists and pleading guilty: "Lord Wang, it is the last general who is incompetent, let the thieves capture the princess, and failing to protect the princess is a major crime of dereliction of duty, please punish the prince heavily!" After speaking, Li Hui kowtowed his head heavily.
The other generals also followed there and pleaded guilty, "Please punish the prince heavily!" ”
Xiao Jingcong's closed eyes opened slightly, and he glanced at Li Hui, "Li Hui, let me ask you, when did the princess disappear?" ”
Li Hui lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then replied: "Back to the prince, the princess should not have seen her at noon at night, at noon, the patrolling guards heard any movement in the pond ten miles away, so they went over to check, and then found scattered hairbands and vermilion hairpins next to the bluestone in the pond, which were left by the princess. ”
After speaking, Li Hui dismantled and handed over the items of Yan Zixi he had picked up to Xiao Jingcong, Xiao Jingcong looked at the hairband, and then picked up Zhu Hai, and the expression on his face became more and more ugly.
Yes, this Zhu Hai was bought by Xiao Jingcong personally and given to Yan Zixi, Xi'er has always regarded this Zhu Hai as a treasure, it is absolutely impossible for her to leave it there, it seems that she was really taken away!
"Didn't the spies stationed around the camp find out about each other?" Xiao Jingcong was a little strange, their garrison camp was covered with a net of heaven and earth for ten miles, and the scouts kept a close eye on everything around them, and any disturbance should not escape their eyes.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jingcong immediately turned his gaze to the scout commander general Cheng Yifeng, and asked sharply, "General Cheng, the thieves broke into my army's camp and kidnapped the princess, what are the scouts under you eating?" "Love the Book House
Cheng Yifeng saw Xiao Jingcong angry, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, "The prince forgives the sins, the prince forgives the sins!" The lowly and incompetent, the thief is strong in martial arts, and he actually killed all the scouts in the southwest, so he was able to take the princess away silently......"
Without waiting for Cheng Yifeng to finish speaking, Xiao Jingcong slapped the table angrily, and the corner of the table was immediately broken by Xiao Jingcong. Xiao Jingcong pointed at Cheng Yifeng, and reprimanded in his mouth: "General Cheng, so many of you can't even figure out the reality of the other party, if this is a war, it is a capital crime to delay the military plane!" ”
"Yes! The last will be damned, the last will be damned! The last general is incompetent and ineffective, and only one death can apologize! The last general still has a wife and children in the capital, and I hope that the prince can take care of it on his behalf. Cheng Yifeng burst into tears, kowtowing vigorously, and there was a trace of blood on his forehead.
Xiao Jingcong clenched his fists tightly, slowly let go, turned his back, took a deep breath, and then said coldly: "Now is the time to employ people, this king can exempt you from the death penalty." ”
When Cheng Yifeng heard this, he bowed gratefully again, "Thank you Lord Wang, thank you Lord ......"
"Death is forbidden, but living is inescapable! General Cheng, this king orders to track down the whereabouts of the princess immediately, and don't come back to see me if you can't find any clues! ”
"Yes! Be! The last general will live up to the prince's entrustment, and the last will retire! With that, Cheng Yifeng withdrew from the camp and led the scouts of the headquarters to track down Yan Zixi's whereabouts.
After Cheng Yifeng left, Xiao Jingcong instructed Li Hui again: "General Li listens to orders. ”
"The last general!" Li Hui stepped forward and replied.
"You lead all the soldiers to stand still here, and wait for the send, and this king will return when he goes." After Xiao Jingcong finished speaking, he picked up his sword, turned around and walked out of the Chinese military camp.
Li Hui was stunned for a moment, and then chased him out, "Lord Wang, what are you going to do?" ”
Xiao Jingcong stopped when he heard this, and said calmly and firmly: "Xun Xi'er, set foot in the northern frontier." ”
"Forgive the last general, if the prince doesn't ......come back," Li Hui swallowed again.
"Then there will be no return!" After that, Xiao Jingcong rode directly on the war horse and went straight to the north.
……
A mountain forest in northern Xinjiang, the annex of the prince's mansion in Yuanxia.
Yan Zixi got up from the bed, pushed open the window, and looked at the unfamiliar scenery outside the window, full of melancholy.
Although the furnishings in the house are familiar to Yan Zixi, outside this house is a completely unfamiliar world, and this room is like an incomparably strong cage, tightly binding Yan Zixi in it.
At this moment, Yan Zixi is a caged bird with broken wings, lonely and helpless.
"Hey, Jingcong, Jingcong, where are you now, will you come to me? Probably not, after all, there is a war now, and you have to focus on the overall situation. Yan Zixi muttered in her mouth.
On the one hand, Yan Zixi hopes that Xiao Jingcong can be used to save herself, but on the other hand, Yan Zixi hopes that Xiao Jingcong will focus on the war in the northern Xinjiang, he is the commander of the Xiao army, if he has any three strengths and two weaknesses, then the entire Xiao army may be destroyed. Yan Zixi didn't want to become a disaster for the country and the people, so she would really be a sinner for the ages who had been stinking for thousands of years.
No, I must find a way to save myself, and I can't let Xiao Jingcong go into danger alone to save myself, not to mention that Xiao Jingcong may not be able to find this place.
Thinking of this, Yan Zixi leaned into the windowsill to see what was under the windowsill.
After all, the ancient house is not very high, and it is only less than two meters from the windowsill to the ground, so if you jump directly, it should not be a big problem.
Yan Zixi probed for a while and found that there was a flower bed and grass under the windowsill, so she climbed up to the windowsill with confidence.
After taking off her shoes and taking a deep breath, Yan Zixi finally jumped under the windowsill and tried to escape from the house through the window.
After landing safely, Yan Zixi hurriedly looked around, fortunately, she took off her shoes when she jumped off, and she didn't cause any movement when she landed, so the guards who were patrolling the yard didn't notice that Yan Zixi had slipped out of the room.
Great, the first step of the plan is complete!
Yan Zixi cheered herself up, and then she could escape smoothly as long as she climbed out of the courtyard wall of this mansion.
