Chapter 248: Reckoning

Cheng Qingwan didn't know anything, what was the use of asking her, seeing this scene, something big must have happened, now the second watch has passed, seeing that Lu Kai will not come, if he doesn't come, there is no need to wait, Cheng Qingwan went back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but when she returned to the middle of the road, she saw Cheng Weilian and Fang Wenhou leading a team of people in front.

Cheng Qingwan screamed when he saw Daqi, Cheng Weilian heard Cheng Qingwan call him, and looked back and was surprised, "Sister, why did you come out in the middle of the night!" ”

How can Cheng Qingwan tell the truth and find an excuse to perfunctory "It's nothing, just come out for a walk"

Fang Wenhou saw Cheng Qingwan and said, "I've seen the eldest lady"

Cheng Qingwan looked at people and returned the salute, Yingying said, "General Fang"

Fang Wenhou and Cheng Weilian were about to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and when they saw Cheng Qingwan, they asked casually, "By the way, Miss, is the Prime Minister in the Mansion?" ”

Cheng Qingwan was stunned, "It's so late, where else can I go if my father is not in the house?" ”

Hearing Cheng Qingwan say this, Cheng Weilian had already scolded the people who looked at people, "Fang Wenhou, did you hear it, I said that my father is at home, how could the envoy kidnap my father?"

Hearing what Cheng Weilian said, Cheng Qingwan was horrified, "You say, Dad." Daddy let the envoy. ”

Fang Wenhou intercepted and said, "Little eldest sister saw the prime minister in the mansion with her own eyes? ”

Cheng Qingwan has been out of the house for a while, and now she doesn't dare to conclude, "I... ”

Fang Wenhou saw that Cheng Qingwan couldn't answer, and immediately said, "Let's go, the prime minister will know if he is not in the mansion."

Everyone went back to the study and bedroom of the Prime Minister's Mansion to look for it, where was there still the shadow of Cheng Minghu, and Cheng Weilian called Xu Guangheng "My father!" ”

"Sir?" Xu Guangheng said, "The master is in the study, and he said that he sent the official document from below."

There was no one in the study room at all, and Cheng Weilian still didn't believe it, "I'll go back to the pawn office to see if the envoy is there!" ”

Cheng Weilian also wanted to make sure that the person was not there, Fang Wenhou didn't have this mind, and being with Cheng Weilian was to find a way to talk about it in the future, if there was anything wrong, Cheng Weilian could also share the responsibility with him.

People left the city for about a quarter of an hour, Tie Mantang escaped or not escaped Fang Wenhou didn't care much, Tie Mantang over there Lieutenant Di led people to chase, now Fang Wenhou can only focus on Lu Kai, Fang Wenhou ordered the people to lead people out of Chongwen Gate, halfway to Minghu and a team of Beishu hussar guards rode back, the two sides met in the middle of the road, Fang Wenhou saw Cheng Minghu thought it was dazzling.

Take a closer look at who Cheng Minghu is, Fang Wenhou is a little puzzled, Cheng Minghu is not hijacked away, how can he come back with people unscathed, Fang Wenhou is not cursing Cheng Minghu, nor is it that Cheng Minghu is not good, but it is a little unreasonable, unreasonable to ask, Cheng Minghu temporarily stopped the horse to explain the situation, although Fang Wenhou felt strange, his expression was concerned, "The prime minister is fine?" ”

Cheng Minghu saw Fang Wenhou's concern, after all, this time it was a narrow escape, Fang Wenhou's concern was true or not, Cheng Minghu said gratefully, "General Lao is concerned, it's okay, Wei Yongnan is chasing people, just in the dense forest on the left side of Bei'an Lin, there is a carriage where you can meet yourself, how is the situation in the city?" ”

Fang Wenhou said, "They set some fires, the fire is settled, and some miscellaneous soldiers in the city are searching for people."

Cheng Minghu sighed heavily and said, "What reprimands does the king have?" ”

Fang Wenhou apologized and said, "I haven't seen the king yet, by the way, the prime minister is not hijacked by the envoy, how can he let the prime minister go?" ”

"Hijack me?" Cheng Minghu sneered lightly, "The envoy is not kidnapping me, he is threatening me to escort the proton out of the city!" ”

Fang Wenhou's face was like a blooming lily suddenly withering, "What does this have to do with protons!" ”

Cheng Minghu's cheeks suddenly trembled, "We all let the envoy be blinded, General Fang, the envoy is not an envoy of the Southern Wei Dynasty, he is from Jingyue!" ”

"Jingyue people!" Fang Wenhou only felt a breath of hot air rushing to his throat: "How can the envoy be a Jingyue person!" ”

"It's a fact!"

After being shocked, Fang Wen pondered the details, and then suddenly realized that he said, "Yes, he is from Jingyue, this makes sense, this can explain why the assassin let him go when he had the opportunity to assassinate him, it turns out that there is no assassin at all, he is the assassin, and the original envoy must have let him assassinate"

Fang Wenhou secretly hated himself for being stupid, and said in his heart, "I came for the proton from the beginning, and it was obviously broken, but I still let them hide it from the world."

Cheng Minghu saw that Fang Wen was silent, and his eyes kept rolling, "What is the general thinking?" ”

Fang Wenhou replied, "I didn't think about anything, the prime minister will return to the city as soon as possible, and the lower officials will go to assist Wei Yongnan now."

Cheng Minghu didn't leave anyone behind, nodded and said, "You must capture someone!" ”

Both sides saluted and galloped in different directions.

Wei Yongnan also secretly blamed himself for being stupid, why did he never have any idea about the proton, he knew that the envoy would have to act tonight, whether he was on guard or not, chasing people into the forest along the way, who knew that Lu Kai was not only properly arranged but also very cunning, not taking the avenue and choosing to jump into the forest, this was to survive in danger, escaping into the dense forest could not be used by horses to walk, and the speed of the two sides could be said to be the same when they walked with their legs.

The area of this dense forest is much larger than Wei Yongnan imagined, which not only increases the difficulty of searching, but also makes Wei Yongnan more afraid in his heart.

Lu Kai is now in the dark Wei Yongnan is in the Ming, Wei Yongnan is afraid because he has hurt Ge Shulan, if Lu Kai ambushes him, it is not certain whether he can get out of danger safely, Wei Yongnan knows very well that Lu Kai is not a weak person, if there is a chance, he can take his life at any time, Wei Yongnan is very careful in every step, because the forest is too quiet, silent and empty, and he doesn't even hear the sound of birds and beasts night owls.

After Shen Jiancheng and Lu Kai turned over the conversation, the two of them came out of the cave, both of them had tense faces, and everyone didn't dare to go up to ask when they saw it, Dai Qian was the closest to Lu Kai and Shen Jiancheng, and the words still had to be said by him, Dai Qian said, "Can you go?" Prince? ”

Shen Jiancheng deliberately glanced at Wen Lushan and said, "There are some problems, Lu Kai explained to me, he will go back to the city with me, and you will stay behind."

Some questions were about the Protector at that time, Dai Qian didn't listen and didn't know what the two of them said, and now Shen Jiancheng is admonishing him, there are some things that Wen Lushan wants to do, and he can't annoy Shen Jiancheng at this moment.

Wen Lushan said "yes"

Shen Jiancheng asked Lu Kai to go back to the city with him, this was a gesture of goodwill, Lu Kai couldn't go, because some accounts had to be settled with Wei Yongnan, Lu Kai said, "The prince goes first, and I will stay with Wen Lushan"

Zhang Zhongping was stunned for a moment, and didn't understand why Lu Kai wanted to stay in danger, and just about to open his mouth, Lu Kai said, "Big brother must ensure the safety of the prince"

This means that he will accompany the prince to go, and the words are all on this, there are some things Zhang Zhongping does not need to say, returning to the city is the time to ask for rewards, and now there are some things that must be said, Zhang Zhongping raised his voice, "Brother Xian, rest assured, I will swear to escort the prince back to the court"

Lu Kai reluctantly smiled slightly, "Let's go"

Shen Jiancheng went back to the rest of the people, and Wen Lushan and Lu Kai stayed behind.

A soldier came forward to report that "the chasing soldiers are at the bottom of the mountain"

Wen Lushan didn't say anything else, only said two words: "Ambush!" ”

Wei Yongnan didn't dare to carelessly take the guards to explore step by step, and suddenly stopped and felt an invisible pressure approaching little by little, and suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis.

The pressure must have been ambushed near the dense forest, and Wei Yongnan still felt it when he didn't show up, which shows that the alertness is still very high, Wei Yongnan once led the cavalry team for three days and three nights without sleep, if there is no alertness, wouldn't it be a waste of fame?

Chasing people without sleep, how can this not make people afraid, since Lu Kai knew the opponent's ability in advance, he must not let Wei Yongnan display the opponent's ability, and he must ambush Wei Yongnan on the spot tonight.

Feeling wrong, Wei Yongnan raised his hand to signal the soldier not to move, and at the same time drew his sword in his hand and tried to deal with any sneak attack in the shortest possible time, and his sense of vigilance was raised to a limit.

The wind blows the trees, the branches and leaves sound softly, and the night wind enters the forest as if a wild ghost is passing by, and the sound alone makes people shudder.

Wei Yongnan's nerves tightened, and at this moment, the knee-high barren grass in front of him suddenly split on both sides, and a figure as fast as lightning swept out.

A pressure came, and the pressure came from the "Bright Lantern for Protecting the Country" sword in Lu Kai's hand, and the white light flashed, and the three soldiers fell to the ground.

In the case of a choice, Lu Kai will not kill, now there is no choice, if these people catch up with them, they will kill without mercy, in order to protect the rest of Jing Yue's ambush soldiers here, they can only strike first, Lu Kai's move is very fast, Wei Yongnan has not seen Lu Kai's figure clearly, the sword blade turned like a sharp arrow stabbing at Wei Yongnan.

The bright light of protecting the country broke through the sky and concealed the sound of wind and thunder, such a fast sword, such a ruthless person.
