Chapter 817: The Prince Intercedes
Although this statement is clumsy, it can barely be prevaricated, which makes Queen Xiao, who has been worrying about her heart next to her, breathe a sigh of relief slightly, she quietly glanced at her husband, in fact, according to her thoughts, they are all her own sons, why bother to be so serious? First appease Wang Junlin, and then use the excuse to track down the murderer behind the scenes, and finally it will be over, won't this matter be solved?
Yang Guang's face changed several times, he didn't say a word, he seemed to be thinking about something, the inner hall was silent, and the atmosphere became very tense.
Wang Junlin didn't speak, he knew very well in his heart that he was an outsider after all, no matter how important he was to Yang Guang and how much credit he made, he could never be compared with Yang Yun in Yang Guang's heart, not to mention that Queen Xiao, who was bent on killing him, was still on the side, and the most correct thing for him to do at the moment was not to speak.
At this moment, the guards reported at the door, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Jin asks to see you!" ”
"Announce him in!" Yang Guang sighed and immediately said.
Empress Xiao persuaded beside her, "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with Zhao'er, it's best not to implicate him." ”
Empress Xiao didn't want the family conflict to expand, and her two sons were involved in this matter, and it would be a little difficult to make a big deal small, and he was worried that Yang Zhao would frame Yang Jun in order to stand up for Wang Junlin, and even to Yang Jun's death.
Yang Guang had his own thoughts, he shook his head, and said, "I know this matter in my heart. ”
Yang Zhao's fat figure appeared at the door of the hall, he slowly walked into the main hall, knelt on the ground, gasped and said, "Son, see the father, see the mother!" ”
"Zhao'er, get up!"
Yang Guang knew that Yang Zhao was not in good health, so he ordered the chamberlain to move a soft pier for the eldest son, so he asked him, "Zhao'er, why did you come to see me?" ”
Yang Zhao sat down on the soft pier, wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, "The son pleads with his father for his younger brother." ”
……
……
The banquet has been dispersed, the carriage of the crown prince Yang Zhao drove out of the gate under the escort of more than 100 guards, and drove towards the East Palace, two small candles were lit in the carriage, making the carriage very bright, Yang Zhao's fat body leaned against the soft car wall, and his face could not hide the joy in his heart, from the different attitudes of his father towards him and the king of Qi today, he knew in his heart that his father would be father in the short term
The emperor will never change his crown prince again, and for this, he is full of gratitude to Wang Junlin.
"King's Landing, being able to be praised by my father today is all your credit, and I will keep it in my heart."
Wang Junlin sat opposite him, and he was going to meet the Goguryeo envoy Yuan Taizuo and his son Yuan Gai Suwen, who were already locked up in the prison of the Blue Guard's Mansion, but Yang Zhao had to pull him into the carriage, and if he had something to say to him, he had to get into the prince's carriage.
"Is Your Highness so sure that the position of the East Palace has been secured? What if the Holy Lord forgives King Qi in the end? Wang Junlin couldn't help but remind.
Yang Zhao squinted his eyes and laughed, shook his head and said, "Of course, my father will forgive King Qi sooner or later, but as long as I don't make mistakes, my father will never abolish my position as crown prince." My father would never consider appointing a simple-minded, narrow-minded, and liar-ridden son who would even dare to hire assassins to kill important ministers in front of my father, and I know very well in my heart, so he has already been defeated. ”
Wang Junlin nodded, Yang Zhao said very reasonably, he said with a complicated expression, "Congratulations to Your Highness!" But I thought that His Highness's crisis was not in Yang Xuan, but in his own body, as long as His Highness was fine, no one would be able to threaten His Highness's position as the crown prince. ”
"Hmmm! You're right, I'm going to get a good night's sleep tonight, I'm going to start practicing my sword tomorrow morning, I'm going to control my food from now on, and I'm going to try to lose weight. ”
At this time, the carriage suddenly stopped, and the guards reported outside the carriage, "Your Highness, please wait, there is a tree in front of you that has fallen and blocked the way, so let's move it away." ”
Wang Junlin was slightly stunned, his eyes flashed, and he said vigilantly, "Your Highness, there is no wind or rain today, how can there be a tree falling?" ”
"It may have been hit by other carriages, three days ago, it happened to the west of the East Palace, and there were also big trees falling on the street behind the East Palace the day before yesterday."
Yang Zhao's brows suddenly furrowed, and he remembered an unfavorable legend, "But...... Riding in a car and encountering a fallen tree is not an auspicious sign, what disadvantages will it bring to me? ”
He looked up and stretched out the window of the car to check, and at this moment, Wang Junlin suddenly heard a distant voice, 'Boom! With a sound, this was the sound of a bowstring, Wang Junlin was taken aback, and he almost instinctively pushed Yang Zhao away, just as Yang Zhao was pushed away
In an instant, an arrow roared into the car window, brushed Yang Zhao's fat face, and nailed it to the opposite car wall, the arrow flashed with a green luster, it was actually a poisonous arrow.
"There are assassins!"
Wang Junlin reacted very quickly, he shouted, blew out the candles, and pressed Yang Zhao face down on the floor, "Your Highness, don't move!" ”
He pulled out the dragon sparrow knife from his waist, turned over and jumped out of the window, and knocked into a guard outside the car window, but he heard the sound of the second arrow coming from the wind, and without thinking, he stretched out his arm and waved the knife, cutting the arrow from the upper end in two, and then landed on the ground, rolling on the ground.
What happened in this moment was only between the rise and fall of the rabbit, and the guards had just arrived, and together they surrounded the carriage and raised their shields high.
Wang Junlin jumped again and jumped on the roof of the car, he already knew where the loophole was, there was already a shield guard outside the car window, because Yang Zhao stretched out his head to look at the tree, the guard slightly let go of a crack, the first cold arrow was shot through this crack, and the second arrow was shot above his head, the assassin knew that after the first arrow, Yang Zhao would definitely lie on the floor, so the second arrow tried to shoot through the wall of the car and go straight to the floor, these are two assassins with archery like gods.
Wang Junlin had already seen that a burly black figure on the tree close to the fang wall jumped up the fang wall and jumped into the market square next to it, and thirty steps away was a three-story restaurant, and there was another black shadow squatting on the roof.
And almost at the same time as the second arrow was fired, someone suddenly heard someone shouting, "How can a fat pig-like character be worthy of being a prince, accept his life!" ”
Before the sound fell, a man suddenly pounced from the tree, and pounced into the ranks of guards with a sword in hand. This person is only about seven feet tall, with slender arms, and the joints of his whole body seem to be loose, which looks very strange. In his hand is a narrow sword three feet long and only one finger wide, the sword is like autumn water, swallowing cold light. After rushing into the group of guards, without saying a word, he stepped into the air and stabbed the two guards under his horse.
And almost at the moment when this person made a move, dozens of figures sprang out from the shadows on the two rows of trees next to him, all of them masked with black cloth and wearing soft armor.
The first person made an extremely ruthless move.
Four or five guards stopped him, but when he made a sword move, one of them died.
