Chapter 184: Who's the Bait?
Since returning to the inn and getting the news of chasing the wind, it was indeed not the old nest of Xuanbing Pavilion that the carriage lured them to before, and there has been no news of Qin Changhuan for several days.
In the past few days, Zhan Yunyuan has forgotten to sleep and eat, even if he falls asleep with illness and torture, he will only be awakened by nightmares.
Forget everything else, he only knows that if the news doesn't come again, he will really order someone to set foot on the entire chess club.
At dusk, the moon rises on the willows.
Jing Feng came in with the medicine.
"Master, this medicine has been heated three times, and if you don't drink it again, you will suffer a lot at night."
His brow was full of worry.
Not to mention that he has been with Zhan Yunyuan for so many years, he has long regarded him as a relative, even if he is just an ordinary friend, he will be very worried.
But Zhan Yunyuan's mind was not on this at all, he was just worried about Qin Changhuan.
"Put it down."
As if remembering something, he raised his head again and looked at Jing Feng.
"Any news?"
Jing Feng lowered his head, "Master, don't worry, since it is this trap set by Miss Changhuan, then she must be sure, you believe her." ”
Zhan Yunyuan laughed self-deprecatingly, picked up the medicine bowl and drank it.
Although there is bitterness in the mouth, there is no bitterness in the heart.
She's amazing, how could he not know, but there is always a chance in everything, he is worried, ten thousand worries.
Worried that if something went wrong, how could the people in Xuanbing Pavilion spare her?
"How did you do what I told you to do?"
He finally remembered something else, so he looked up and asked.
Jing Feng reported the news to him by the wind, and he told it completely.
"Don't worry, master, as soon as there is news, I will tell you immediately."
So to speak, there is no news yet.
Zhan Yunyuan tilted his head slightly and motioned for him to go out.
The door creaked open and closed, and the soft moonlight shone over the shadows of the trees, over the window lattice, and sprinkled on the body and the ground.
He only felt extremely desolate.
At this time, in the East Palace, there was another person who was as anxious as him.
Tang Ruoxu was originally also a calm character, but in the past few days, he has repaired all the thugs in the entire East Palace.
It is called a practice, but it makes these thugs and guards miserable.
If Hayashi Zhi can fight him, they will fight for about three days and three nights.
But that guy always abides by his duty, and he doesn't dare to boldly bump into him, as if he is afraid of hurting him.
This angered Tang Ruoxu's competitiveness, but no matter how competitive he was, after half an hour, he was tired and didn't want to move.
Every day, I was almost tired to the point of collapse and fell asleep.
But when I woke up again, I found that the sun was shining outside, but there was still no news of Qin Changhuan, and I suddenly felt very empty and lonely in my heart.
I don't know if God loves him, and I can't bear to see him, the future heir of East Ash, continue to be sorrowful.
Just after the end of the night, Lin Zhi brought news.
"Your Highness, Your Highness."
He rushed in in a hurry, missing his usual calmness.
But he was also forced to let Tang Ruoxu return to his former cheerfulness and ease.
He took a piece of snow-white brocade with letters embroidered with gold thread.
"Tomorrow afternoon, there is someone you want in the suburbs of Litang Courtyard, so be sure to come alone."
This petition is very ingenious.
'Bang'!
Tang Ruoxu slapped the petition on the table, and a bright smile suddenly broke into his mouth, and his expression trembled.
"Tell me to go down, quick, quick!"
Anxious for a moment, he didn't know if he was happy to see Qin Changhuan soon, or excited because he would be able to annihilate his worst enemy immediately.
At this point, he couldn't care about it so much.
Seeing that Lin Zhi was about to go out, he stopped again.
"Wait, don't forget to tell someone, go and deliver the news to the inn, and tell Zhu Yi that as soon as the queen leaves tomorrow, she will go to see the emperor."
Tomorrow will be the day of the 'fight to the death'.
On this night, many people could not sleep well.
The queen only felt that Tang Ruoxu had a deep affection for Qin Changhuan, and she would definitely not abandon her.
What's more, in order to determine Tang Ruoxu's intentions in the past few days, he specially asked Eyeliner to report every day.
Tang Ruoxu's heroic deeds of beating all the people in the palace, she heard it clearly, and naturally felt that there would be no mistake in her heart.
Although the long night is long, there are countless people's expectations, and in the blink of an eye, it will be dawn.
Hour after hour passed, and seeing that it was almost noon, it was time to set off.
In the courtyard of the East Palace, Lin Zhi followed Tang Ruoxu's steps.
"Your Highness, just let me follow from afar, I'm really not at ease."
Tang Ruoxu paused and threw him a fierce gaze.
"If I want to lock you up, go ahead."
The words fell, and Lin Zhi's body froze.
Even if he couldn't follow him from afar, Tang Ruoxu always gave him the ability to command the Praetorian Guard.
If Tang Ruo allowed someone to lock him up, he could only wait for news in the East Palace.
weighed, so he chose the former.
Tang Ruoxu turned over his horse, and after leaving the East Palace, he went straight to the gate of the palace.
Lin Zhi heard the sound of horses' hooves weakening, raised the sword in his hand, and gave an order, and the army went to the backyard of the East Palace to assemble.
The news sent to the queen a few days ago was just arranged by them a long time ago, so there is no one related to the queen in the East Palace at the moment.
After leaving the palace, he galloped all the way to the suburbs and arrived at noon.
At this time, the sun is scorching, the situation is almost summer, the weather is getting hotter, this road is running wildly, and there is a little sweat on the body.
Litang Yuan was ahead, and he tightened the reins, and the sound of horses' hooves slowly moved forward.
It was a spring day, but there was no one in the suburbs, and it was probably cleared in advance.
The gate of Litang Temple was open, as if he was deliberately waiting for him.
This was originally the place where the troupe was located, but later the troupe members left one after another, and this place was abandoned.
Even if someone wanted to rent it, it was as if they were under some kind of curse, and something would happen within a few days.
Therefore, no one pays any attention to this place.
Somehow, when the horse reached the door, it suddenly stopped, and refused to step in any way.
Tang Ruoxu simply turned over and dismounted.
He wanted to see who was doing it!
"But why are you so cowardly that you didn't dare to come out?"
He stepped into the courtyard, and strangely enough, it was unusually clean, not like an ordinary deserted courtyard.
He called twice more, but no one answered.
Tang Ruoxu thought that he shouldn't have come in, so he thought about turning around and going out.
But the door creaked shut.
Now Tang Ruoxu is sure that this is indeed the agreed place.
"Pretending to be a ghost, it's better to go straight to the real knife and gun!"
Say it's too late, then it's too fast.
The wind whistled in his ears, and before Tang Ruoxu could pull out the knife completely, he heard a crisp sound from the swords colliding.
A man in white in front of him looked weak, but the strength in his hands was heavy.
With a bang, Tang Ruoxu had to take a few steps back and gain a firm foothold.
When he raised his eyes again, the other party rushed over with a sword again, and only then did he see the other party's cold eyebrows and eyes, his face was delicate, and he was a little cold.
There was obviously boundless hatred in his eyes, but the aura that emanated from his body was still so soft.
It's unpredictable.
"You are Tang Ruoxu?"
After the swords collided a few times, the other party suddenly spoke, and the voice was as clear as a sweet spring in the mountains.
Tang Ruoduo used a lot of force to force the other party back slightly, "Yes, you gave me a letter of invitation?" Are you from the Xuanbing Pavilion? ”
After a few more rounds, the opponent suddenly withdrew his sword and retreated, standing a foot away, his white robe flipping, and his long hair flying.
There is a breath of independence from the world.
"In the Lower Xuanbing Pavilion Pavilion, I have long heard that your swordsmanship is superb, and now that I have fought it, I feel that it is not as terrible as the rumors."
He looked at him with a smirk, his eyes unblinking.
Tang Ruoxu chuckled a few times, "Thanks to the Pavilion Master's care, I have heard a lot of news about the Pavilion Master in the palace, but today, I am not here to chat with you." ”
"Where is Qin Changhuan?"
In just an instant, Tang Ruoxu's eyes became extremely fierce, and a cold light appeared in his eyes.
Luo Yan snorted coldly and put his sword back into its sheath.
Immediately, all the doors on the side of the room opened, and countless people from the Xuanbing Pavilion came out of the room.
Including the roof and above the fence, it was full of people at some point.
And the door of the room behind him was the last to open, and dozens of people escorted Qin Changhuan out of the room and stood next to him.
Tang Ruoxu couldn't stand still when he boarded, and wanted to rush forward.
Luo Yan raised his hand, laughed, and stopped, "Your Highness, don't worry, don't forget what our deal is today." ”
Tang Ruoxu looked at Qin Changhuan not far in front of him, but he couldn't come forward to help, so he had no choice but to go around for a few minutes first.
"I'm the person you want, right?"
He said.
Luo Yan was very satisfied with his performance, it seems that what the queen said is right, this woman is really extraordinary to Tang Ruoxu.
"Yes, as long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince commits suicide here today, I will release this woman and do what I say."
He said it with ease, as simple as pinching an ant to death.
Tang Ruoxu is not an impatient person, and at this moment, he must be extra careful.
"But how can I believe you like this?"
He hooked his lips and smiled, and said, "No, if you let her go back, I can't escape here anyway, what do you think?" ”
Luo Yan inhaled, and then exhaled a breath violently, as if enjoying the essence of this heaven and earth.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks that I, the Pavilion Master of Xuanbing Pavilion, will not be able to believe what I say?"
He tilted his head and stretched his arms well, looking at the laziness.
Tang Ruoxu didn't bother to go around the bend with him, so he propped the knife on the ground and was a little lazy.
"I'll just say it directly, I don't know when I have a grudge with the pavilion master, since you want me to die so much, why don't you send a compassionate heart and tell me the reason for this, how about it?"
He was indeed just delaying time, until Luo Yan believed that no one would have time to save him.
Luo Yan seemed to recognize that no one would come, so he simply asked someone to bring a chair and sat down directly to delay with him.
"Since you asked, I will tell you, naturally there are people who don't want you to live, as the prince of the East Palace, your existence is a nail in the eyes of some people."
