Chapter 261: Nowhere to Say
"The palace where the prince lives is not far in front, and I hope that Mrs. Lu, don't do anything crooked, otherwise if something happens, the old slave will not be able to go back and explain."
When approaching the gate of the palace, the old lady approached An Xiabai and said such a sentence.
An Xiabai didn't look at it on the surface, but he was actually thinking about how to get out of trouble.
Just as they were slowly walking in the direction of the palace, they met several maids, all of whom were familiar faces, and they were usually responsible for taking care of An Xiabai's daily life.
"Mrs. Lu, we have found you, ...... just now"
Without waiting for the maids to finish speaking, Anxia was white-hearted, raised her foot and stepped on the old woman's foot with all her might.
"Ahh
The screams immediately resounded in the sky, and even the maids were frightened.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, An Xiabai ran behind the maids, pointed at the old lady's face with an anxious expression and said, "She wants to harm me, take her down quickly!" ”
The voice outside successfully attracted the attention of the officials and guards in the palace, and when they heard An Xiabai's words in a hurry, they quickly stepped forward and pressed the old lady to the ground, and after a while, there was only a cry for mercy: "Mrs. Lu, let me go, I am also acting on orders, if I don't do this, my mother will not let me go!" ”
An Xia Bai snorted coldly, and the scene of Xiaodong Xiaoxue being murdered by the noble concubine two days ago came to mind again.
When she harmed her two children, she didn't have any soft-heartedness, and now she has no reason to let them go.
"Take it to the palace and invite the crown princess to interrogate carefully."
"Yes."
The group escorted the old lady in such a mighty way, and gradually walked into the palace.
Just when An Xiabai broke free from the danger, somewhere at the border, Zhang Xiaodong was lying on the ground, blood and tears flowing out from under him, like the embers of flowers and firecrackers spread under their feet when they returned to the capital after returning from victory.
He thought about many ways to die, and every time he felt that he would die honorably on the battlefield, but in the end, he did not die under the enemy's sword, but died in the hands of his own people, how ironic, when he thought of this, Zhang Xiaodong couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips, and a little smile appeared on his pale cheeks.
"It's time like this, and you can still laugh?"
Wang Zhen raised his eyebrows, half-squatted down to look at his face, and his expression was complicated.
"Why.... Can't laugh? One day, your death will be even more miserable than mine. ”
The blood is still flowing, but the people are still so spirited.
Wang Zhen was furious by his eyes, and turned his head to glare at his subordinates: "Didn't you eat today, you can't kill anyone if you want to kill someone, why don't you hurry up and come over to mend the knife?" ”
The guard, who was holding a bloody short knife not far away, heard this, hurriedly agreed, and tremblingly stepped forward to make up for Zhang Xiaodong with two more knives.
This time, he never opened his eyes again.
"Well done." Wang Zhen smiled coldly, and gently patted his hand on the guard's shoulder, "Do you know what to do after killing someone?" ”
"The subordinates know that the subordinates will never say anything about this matter."
Wang Zhen leaned closer, and his already cold voice sneered: "But this is not enough. ”
Before the guard could understand what he meant by the insufficiency, he felt a pain in his abdomen, and when he looked down, he saw a short knife piercing deep into his body through Wang Zhen's hand.
At the last moment of his life, he didn't have time to say anything, and as soon as the knife was drawn, he fell to the ground with a thud.
"Someone, there's an assassin!"
In the camp tent not far from where Wang Zhen lived, Lu Li was frowning and observing the situation in the sand table, just when he was holding his breath and concentrating, Liu Fengfeng next to him didn't know what was going on, and suddenly picked up from his position.
"What's wrong?"
"I, I don't know what's going on." Liu Fengfeng hunched his body, and his rough hands clenched the clothes on his chest.
Just now, his heart suddenly ached, as if someone had stabbed him in the heart, and then ripped out something.
The feeling made him restless.
"I'll have someone go get a military doctor for you, come-"
Before Lu Li's words could be finished, someone hurriedly broke into the camp: "General Lu, it's not good, the prisoner I interrogated just now has an accident." I don't know what happened just now, but one of the guards I brought over suddenly burst out and stabbed Zhang Xiaodong to death with the short knife he was carrying, and then committed suicide with a knife while I wasn't paying attention. ”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the camp suddenly fell into freezing, and almost all the soldiers stood up and stared at Wang Zhen with wide eyes.
Among them, the person who reacted the most strongly was Liu Fengfeng, after all, the person who died was his own brother, he rushed to Wang Zhen in three steps and two steps, grabbed his clothes, and his eyes were split: "What do you say, I handed over a person to you to investigate, why did he suddenly die, you said, did you kill him, you said!" ”
Wang Zhen's skills are good, but at this time, he was forced by Liu Fengfeng so much that he had no intention of resisting at all.
Lu Li didn't take his non-resistance behavior as a shame, he only felt that there was a trap ahead.
Out of consideration for the relationship between Liu Fengfeng and Zhang Xiaodong, he instructed the other soldiers to take Liu Fengfeng back to his camp: "You must take good care of him." ”
The soldiers answered yes, and then took Liu Fengfeng away.
"General Lu, I am also responsible for this matter, I will apologize to you here first."
"What's the use of apologizing?" Lu Li bit the silver tooth into pieces, the hand behind his back clenched into a fist, and there were faint traces of blood winding down and flowing into his sleeves, "People died in your tent, you must give us an explanation." “
"Of course, it should be." Wang Zhen pretended to understand and nodded, pretending to be sad, "Actually, I have investigated just now, I asked the guards who accompanied me, and from their mouths, I learned that the guard who was assassinated in the capital has something to do with the guard who is suspected of killing Zhang Xiaodong today. ”
Wang Zhen really deserves to be a figure from the palace, and he cleared up his relationship in a few words, so Lu Li wanted to suspect him, but there was no way to prove it.
I can only grit my teeth and swallow it in my stomach.
By the time he finished talking to Wang Zhen and dealt with Zhang Xiaodong's funeral, it was already late at night.
He brought wine and Liu Fengfeng to the place where they usually like to stay.
Liu Fengfeng looked in a trance.
"This matter, in the final analysis, is my fault, I will definitely find out the truth for him, so that the real mastermind behind the scenes will not die well."
Lu Li's words stopped in Liu Fengfeng's ears and felt sarcastic.
He couldn't help but think of the scene when Zhang Xiaodong was taken away, he tried his best to stop it, but he was knocked unconscious, and the guilt was like a flood bursting the embankment in his heart, and once it broke out, he couldn't contain it: "If I had been a little tougher and could have stopped them all, maybe my brother wouldn't have died." ”
Lu Li didn't speak, because at this time, he didn't know what he should say.
The only thing he could do was pour the wine.
A total of three wine glasses were brought, one for himself, one for Liu Fengfeng, and one glass, facing the bright white moon, to the old people who had left.
"I will avenge you."
Lu Li and Liu Fengfeng coincidentally put the accounts on the heads of Wang Zhen and Feng Bailin, and they secretly swore in their hearts that they would definitely let them die a good death soon.
That night, they were very drunk.
Lu Li's alcohol consumption was not as good as Liu Fengfeng's, and the reason why he couldn't control himself when he was upset was that he couldn't control his alcohol consumption, and he was drunk and unconscious after a while.
Liu Fengfeng stayed by his side, feeling extremely sad in his heart.
If the Heavenly Dao had already been considered to have such an ending as today, why did they have the opportunity to recognize each other in the first place, they gained and lost, there is nothing more cruel in the world.
Just when Li Liu Fengfeng was sad, in a bush not far away, the black-clothed assassin was secretly observing with a short knife.
"Is that them?"
"Yes, that's them."
After a brief exchange, the two assassins glanced at each other, and tacitly approached Liu Fengfeng and Lu Li when the clouds covered the bright moon.
In the past, the crisis would be detected by Lu Li before it had time to get close, but now it is different, Lu Li is drunk, it is when he is not conscious, and Liu Fengfeng, who is in charge of the guard, does not understand these rules very well, causing the assassins to approach them before they notice.
"There are assassins!" Liu Fengfeng exclaimed.
But everything was too late, and the short knife with a cold glow was already approaching Lu Li, and it was about to stab Lu Li.
Liu Fengfeng's heart was crossed, and he raised his knife and rushed to Lu Li's side with a roar.
The short knife passed through his chest and abdomen, and the hot blood splashed Lu Li's face, and he suddenly woke up from his stupor.
"Don't!"
An Xiabai's exclamations spread to every corner of the room, and the maids who were in charge of taking care of Xiaodong Xiaoxue outside ran in as if they were not running for their lives.
"Mrs. Lu, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just had a nightmare."
An Xiabai sat up, her soft hand gently patting her chest.
The dream just now was too realistic, and even the blood seemed to be real and warm, which made her unable to calm down for a long time.
I was trapped in the palace, and my husband must not be easy at the border, what can I do?
An Xiabai, who was entangled, suddenly remembered Li Wenfeng.
As soon as she said it, before she could ask, an internal official came forward with a letter to report, saying that it was a letter sent by General Li, and An Xiabai must see it in person.
An Xiabai opened the envelope with apprehension, and the brows that had been twisted for a long time gradually relaxed.
The letter said that the situation at the border pass was not good, and Li Wenfeng had already sent his own soldiers for the sake of insurance, and Nan Hui was also sent to the border pass.
Nanjuni's ability, An Xiabai has seen it, if he helps at the border, Lu Li will definitely be able to be much easier.
Although I don't know what kind of bad situation they have encountered at the border now, An Xiabai is still a little relieved.
