Volume 2 Conquest and Killing Chapter 208 Advance and Retreat
"Shaoyin, you must leave the palace safely!"
Faced with an increasingly complicated situation, Yan Keran could only pray silently in his heart, hoping that Du Shaoyin's legs could be faster than the forbidden army.
Du Shaoyin has been very careful along the way since he separated from Yan Ke Ran, always paying attention to the expressions of others, this way out of the palace is completely unfamiliar, he can only rely on Yan Ke Ran's few words, and he can't ask others at all.
During this period, he also made a few mistakes, but fortunately, there was no mistake in the general direction, and when Du Shaoyin finally saw the Tongtian Gate, he breathed a sigh of relief, he only needed to pass through the Tongtian Gate without being discovered by the forbidden army. Du Shaoyin straightened his waist and strode towards the Tongtian Gate, and when he passed through the city gate, he was really interrogated.
Du Shaoyin cleared his throat and forced himself to learn to speak from the Imperial Forest Guard: "I was ordered by the captain to go out of the palace to do errands!" Why, do you still want to stop it? ”
The guard looked at Du Shaoyin's slightly awkward outfit and wanted to continue to interrogate, Du Shaoyin directly interrupted: "It's not early, if you delay my business, when the time comes, Captain Yan will blame it, and you will bear it!" ”
Seeing that the guards were frightened, Du Shaoyin didn't wait for the consent of others, and walked directly towards the outside of the city, seeing that he was about to succeed, but met a person on horseback at the gate of the city. When Du Shaoyin walked past this person, this person's eyes kept staring at Du Shaoyin.
"Stop!"
Du Shaoyin didn't hear it, and continued to walk forward, he wanted to run, but he also knew that his two legs were the opponents of the horse's four legs?
The man on horseback stomped his feet and rose in the air, stretched out his hand to grab the back of Du Shaoyin's neck, Du Shaoyin is also a person who practices martial arts, and the strong wind behind him has already prompted the coming of danger, he didn't wait to turn around, he directly bowed down to avoid this blow, and turned around and ran away.
As soon as he ran two steps, his legs were hit by heavy objects, and the center of gravity of the whole person was unstable, and he fell directly and ate. Du Shaoyin still wanted to resist, but the man behind him was already riding on his back and cut his hands behind him.
"The carving insect skill still dares to perform in front of my Yutai Qiu'an!"
"How? Fourth brother, where is the edict? ”
King Xiang repeatedly pressed questions, and King Yu simply spread his hands and said: "The edict is gone, and now that you think I am suspicious, then I will naturally stay in the capital to cooperate with the investigation." ”
"The fourth brother is wrong! The fourth brother is also the son of his father, and the fourth brother can't do such a thing as killing the king and killing his father, but why did the fourth brother happen to appear in the Lizheng Palace, and why did the father and emperor die in the arms of the fourth brother, these fourth brothers have to give me and the ministers a reasonable explanation! ”
The officials nodded in agreement, and Liao Zhen said: "Since the emperor is already gone, the most important thing for the future is to deal with the emperor's posthumous affairs. As for the pursuit of the real culprit, it will take time, and it should be distinguished! ”
Liao Zhen has such an obvious duty to King Xiang, everyone can hear it, and King Xiang is not angry, so he ordered: "The fourth brother will stay in the palace first, and as for him, he will be sent to Dali Temple with the cook and tried with Zhou Xunliang!" ”
"Fifth brother!"
Yun Xuan still wanted to intercede for Xuan Shaoning, but King Xiang's attitude had clearly told her: Don't even think about it!
King Yu patted Yun Xuan's shoulder and shook his head, and then followed Chen Yuanzhi away. Yun Xuan watched Xuan Shaoning being dragged away, and then watched her father's body being carried away, but she couldn't do anything.
"Today is the day when my father summons you to enter the palace, and it is the day when the palace returns the right to deal with political affairs, but unexpectedly, the death of my father is a regret for Daliang ....... "King Xiang choked up"! Before his father's death, he entrusted the palace to deal with the government affairs, and then the palace must maintain the stability of the government and politics, and it is the duty of the emperor! ”
Cai Xiang stood up at the right time to state his position: "The minister respectfully obeys His Highness's orders, and will definitely do his best to assist His Highness!" ”
Now that the prime minister has expressed his position, the remaining officials can only kneel to King Xiang, and three of them are forced to kneel and are unwilling, but they understand that this is not the time to care about this.
Needless to say, Liao Zhen has always supported King Yu. The remaining two are Jiang Weizhen and Xiao Moyan, both of whom are familiar with Xuan Shaoning, and seeing him killed, the two of them can't help because of their humble official positions. Especially Xiao Moyan, he saw Xuan Shaoning's grievances, he believed in Xuan Shaoning's character, and even more believed in King Yu's personality; He also saw Yan Keran's embarrassment, not only to perform his duties but also to help his classmates.
"Ministers, let's go home first!"
"Your Highness, I have something to ask to see at the end!"
What Xiao Moyan didn't expect was that he actually met another classmate. He saw Du Shaoyin, who was tied up, being escorted up, and at that moment he really couldn't control himself.
Also shocked was Yan Keran, what he was expecting did not happen in the end, when Du Shaoyin was escorted up by Yutai Qiu'an, the blood in his whole body coagulated.
"Tantai Qiu'an, what's the matter with you?"
"Back to His Royal Highness, the last general caught this person outside the palace gate, this person is sneaky, and his official uniform is very inappropriate, and his words are not in line with the style of the royal guard, the last general suspects the identity of this person, so he will take this person down and hand it over to His Royal Highness."
"Who are you? Is it related to the poisoning of my father? ”
Du Shaoyin didn't care what anyone said, he just bowed his head and didn't respond. King Xiang looked at the royal guard uniform on his body, turned his head to Yan Ke Ran and asked, "This person is your subordinate?" ”
Yan Keran's back was already wet with sweat, he didn't know how to answer at all, and replied "no", that is, to push Du Shaoyin into the fire pit; If you answer "yes", then you can't escape the responsibility of indulging your subordinates.
Xiao Moyan stared at Yan Keran, they have been classmates for ten years now, he believes in Yan Keran too much, he knows that Yan Keran is a person who dares to act, even if the consequences are serious.
Yan Keran didn't know about Xiao Moyan's existence at all, he looked at Du Shaoyin and then at Yun Xuan, and when he was about to answer, Du Shaoyin shouted out.
"I'm not from the Kingsguard! I stole this uniform from the Imperial Guard's office! ”
"Sure enough, the appearance is suspicious! Escort him to Dali Temple for interrogation! ”
Seeing Du Shaoyin being dragged away, Yan Keran was like a man's back, and there were thousands of silver needles in his heart, he didn't even dare to look up at King Xiang, he was afraid that King Xiang would see the truth in his eyes.
"Captain Yan!"
"The last general!"
"You are responsible for how easily someone can steal the official uniform in the official office!"
"It's the last general who mismanages it, and the last general is willing to be punished!"
"Alright, this palace is here to warn you once, you should know what you can do and what you can't do! This is the end of today's events, and if you do it again in the future, you will be punished severely! ”
King Xiang flicked his sleeves and left, Yan Keran knelt on the ground and didn't dare to raise his head until the voices around him disappeared.
The sweat had already gathered into a puddle of water on the ground, Yan Keran raised his head mechanically, and found that everyone had left, he didn't know how long he had been kneeling, but he felt that his legs were no longer his own.
Yan Keran barely got up by holding on to the ground, but because his legs were sore, he was about to fall down when he fell, and someone happened to help him. Yan Keran's pupils reflected Princess Yunxuan's face.
"The princess will be seen!"
"Alright, you don't kneel anymore!"
Princess Yunxuan helped Yan Keran up, looking at his prostration, she was a little distressed. So she took out the handkerchief she was carrying with her and wiped the sweat off Yan Keran's face, Yan Keran knew that this kind of behavior was a great disrespect to the courtiers, but he didn't move, and let Princess Yunxuan's hand move on his face.
This feeling is something that Yan Keran has thought about for too long, it has always been out of reach, and it is the best comfort after today's repeated blows, making Yan Keran forget all the bitterness, suffering, and fear.
The faint fragrance on the handkerchief smelled in Yan Keran's nose enough to make him completely intoxicated, even if he had to pay the price of his life at this moment, he was duty-bound, as long as it was Princess Yunxuan who spoke.
"A lot of things happened so suddenly this day, you must be tired." Yan Keran wanted to say something like "the last general's business", and Princess Yunxuan put her finger on his mouth. "Even if others can't see your hard work, I can still deeply understand it. Captain Yan, I have something to ask for. ”
Yan Keran looked at Yun Xuan's autumn water eyes, not to mention one thing, even if it was a lot of things, he was willing to do it.
"Help me rescue Captain Xuan!"
Among all the things that Yan Keran was willing to do, I was afraid that this one was not included, and he was stunned in his heart, and sure enough, in Yun Xuan's heart, the one he cared about the most was Xuan Shaoning. But since Yun Xuan spoke, then he had to do it no matter what, he had promised to fulfill all of Yun Xuan's wishes, he couldn't break his promise!
Yan Keran nodded, Princess Yunxuan finally smiled slightly, and she gratefully stuffed the handkerchief into Yan Keran's hand.
"Captain Yan, you have been friends for ten years, and I know that even if I don't speak, you will definitely do your best to rescue you. I thank you again! ”
Seeing that Princess Yunxuan was planning to do something, Yan Keran broke out in a cold sweat, on the one hand, she couldn't bear her to do this; On the other hand, there are many ears and eyes in the palace, and if this scene is seen and passed into the ears of King Xiang, he will suffer.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, the last general promises you that I will do my best to rescue Shaoning!"
