What Hou Jing has to think about now is how to make this matter foolproof, and how to destroy Gao Cheng's henchmen and Chen Yuankang, the thorn in his side, in the process of acting.

Hou Jing knew that the attitudes of Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang and Prince Xiao Gang were ambiguous now. First, it was inconvenient to publicly order the beheading of the Wei envoy; The second is most likely hesitation. Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang was suspicious and indecisive, and Prince Xiao Gang was unscrupulous and confused. In fact, in the final analysis, there is only one person who wants to kill Gao Cheng who is as iron-minded and must not change, and that is Yang Kan.

Hou Jing knows that only Yang Kan alone is never enough.

Bin shot, the princes to see the Son of Heaven. The Southern Dynasty is a state of etiquette, and the retro etiquette is the same. Cui Jishu felt in his heart that this shooting salute was inexplicable.

Tongtai Temple is the place where Zen talks about Buddha, although the bin shot is a ceremony, it is also a military ceremony, and this ceremony is performed in the Buddhist temple, which is nondescript.

The shooting hall is temporarily located in the open space under the medicine stupa behind Tongtai Temple. This place is already the back door of Tongtai Temple, and it is the back slope of Jilong Mountain when you go out. Because it is very close to the Black Dragon Lake Palace, it is already a forbidden place, and few people visit.

Not only Cui Jishu, but even Chen Yuankang felt that the crown prince Xiao Gang was shooting here, and the prince himself refused to show up for a long time, and only ordered Xiao Zhengde, the king of Linhe County, to act as the master here, which was really rude.

Under the Medicine Stupa is a corridor with verandahs. The corridor courtyard is temporarily a shooting hall, and the bow and arrow are all available. It turned out to be two of them with hideous faces, and they looked well-set and grand.

Gao Cheng stood under the north corridor, and behind him passed through the meditation room was the back door of Tongtai Temple, and out of the door was the back mountain of Jilong Mountain. The crown prince Xiao Gang ordered someone to ask for a salute, but Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang did not show up again on the pretext of being old and frail. Strangely, even the crown prince Xiao Gang is not there.

Gao Cheng was silent and speechless, watching the courtyard Si Zhu pointing at the little eunuchs to do some useless work, he knew in his heart that what Yang Shunhua said last night must be true. Cui Jishu and Chen Yuankang behind him also understood in their hearts. Chen Yuankang was calm and calm, and he did not leave Gao Cheng's side. It's Cui Jishu who can't hold his breath, is scared in his heart, and looks left and right.

"General Changyou," Cui Jishu rubbed to Chen Yuankang's side and asked in a low voice, "Why don't we see the shadow of Puyang Gong?" ”

Chen Yuankang stared at the front of him without squinting, "Uncle Zheng, you ask knowingly, if he doesn't design a frame, it will already be considered benevolent." I'm afraid that he will avoid it at this moment, and then fall into the well. ”

Cui Jishu felt cold in his heart, and he only saw through the situation completely at this moment. Not only did Yang Kan want to kill Lord Lang, but the emperor and the crown prince of Liang State ignored it, and even Hou Jing was of the same heart as the thief. Lord Lang was simply isolated, and it turned out that he was too optimistic. It seems that today is really a tiger's den and a wolf's den, and the situation is critical.

Cui Jishu was covered in a cold sweat in an instant. He couldn't help but turn his head to look behind, and through the meditation room behind him was the back door of Tongtai Temple, which was easy to get out...... Then he turned his head to look at Gao Cheng who was standing in front of him. I don't know what I'm thinking, but I can still be so calm.

"General." At this time, Xiao Zhengde, the king of Linhe County, who was standing on the other side and in the distance, laughed loudly, and the others did not come close to send a voice, looking frivolous and casual. It is no wonder that Emperor Liang refused to make him the crown prince when he had no children, and he was indeed not stable enough. But he himself still wants to show his different identities everywhere.

Gao Cheng glanced sideways at him and didn't speak.

Xiao Zhengde had already strode to his side, "The general is a distinguished guest, I am the master, and this ancient ritual is intended to be courteous and not to shoot." If you can't shoot the main skin, you can't do it for the force, and the general also understands this truth. But my hospitable heart still hopes for the general's wisdom. ”

Xiao Zhengde was proud, thinking that the emperor and the crown prince were not there, he was the master of the Liang, and his status was noble.

"King Linhe," Gao Cheng's green eyes didn't take him seriously, and said with a smile, "Since Bin is not shooting, your country is too rude." ”

Of course, Xiao Zhengde could see that Gao Cheng didn't take him seriously, and his smile froze on his face.

"Your Highness wait, wait for the deputy envoy Situ of Puyang County to come, and you can compete with Your Highness." Chen Yuankang replied sharply.

Xiao Zhengde was stopped by Chen Yuankang's shouts and retreated in fright.

"His Royal Highness the King of the County, wait a minute, why be so anxious." Cui Jishu also thought about it, so he should take advantage of this effort to think about a way to get out first.

Gao Cheng also thought in his heart, the big thing was negotiated, but Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang knew that he was in the middle but let him fend for himself in Tongtai Temple, which shows his ruthlessness. It's better to try to leave Tongtai Temple, and then please go back to Yecheng with "Proton".

Xiao Zhengde knew what Hou Jing was doing, of course he wouldn't come, but he couldn't let Gao Cheng go, so he suddenly subconsciously looked around the corridors on all sides. He did not insist on saluting, nor did he say that he would wait for the time being.

Chen Yuankang caught Xiao Zhengde's subconscious eyes that revealed his thoughts, and he also looked around, and actually found that the figures of people had been faintly revealed outside the windows of the corridors on all sides, even bows and arrows, and sword shadows. No wonder you have to shoot here. It turns out that its original intention is the opposite of what Xiao Zhengde said, and the original intention is to "shoot" not "ceremony".

The target of the shooting was the great general Gao Cheng.

"The general's refusal to salute is because he dislikes my uncle and is not worthy of your identity?" A crisp, slightly high-pitched voice came.

It was actually Princess Xiao Qiongju of Liyang who came. She walked in from the front door of the corridor, still in men's clothes, and with her was her younger brother and grandson Xiao Daqi. They were followed by Lan Jing, who had not seen each other for a long time. Lan Jing was wearing armor, and his grandson Xiao Daqi was dressed as a scholar like his sister.

Xiao Qiongju walked over slowly with a high-spirited temperament, walked up to Gao Cheng, and saluted, "Taisun and the general are more than equal, so you don't insult the general, right?" ”

Gao Cheng returned the salute, seeing Xiao Qiongju's burning eyes staring at him, hinting that he was going to perform this guest salute, so he smiled and said, "Cheng, only the princess's order is obeyed." ”

There was a smile in his green eyes, which others couldn't see, and he came specifically for her.

The eyes of the two people met and captured each other's thoughts.

Xiao Zhengde was deeply stunned, since the grandson was here, he should naturally back down.

Taisun Xiao is polite and polite, not like a child, like an adult man, and it is difficult for him to take on heavy responsibilities at a young age.

The shooter is invited to shoot, and the guest of honor is to shoot separately. It seems that the shooting salute went down smoothly and smoothly. Only one person can see all this most clearly, condescendingly.

Yang Shunhua on the roof of the meditation room. In fact, the corridor was full of archers and samurai arranged by her father Yang Kan. She knew that she could not stop her father, and her brother Yang Yan only slightly objected, and was whipped half to death by his father and imprisoned. As a result, when the original hope of persuasion failed, the sheep bird who secretly protected Gao Cheng was unable to do anything.

Yang Shunhua also knew that if there were really ten thousand arrows at that time, even if she was by Gao Cheng's side, her father would not care about the relationship between father and daughter, and would shoot her together. She came with a mortal heart, and if she couldn't stop her father, she could only protect him with her flesh and blood. If he did die here, how could she live alone?

It was the princess who knew his mind best. Knowing that he will definitely come, he will never sneak back to Yecheng.

Xiao Qiongju never left Gao Cheng's side. She followed him wherever he went. Even when he saluted, she stayed by his side.

Yang Shunhua condescended to see all this, and felt that the princess and Gao Cheng were really a beautiful pair, and her heart was sour and gratified. She can be completely sure that her father's heart of killing Gao Cheng will not let him take care of her, a concubine, but he must not dare to hurt the grandson and the princess. It was precisely because the princess understood this that she brought her grandson here, and she herself was inseparable from Gao Cheng.

Yang Shunhua knew that those archers who were secretly ambushing would not dare to act rashly. Her father must have been afraid to do so, angry and frustrated, feeling that he had fallen short. The fact that she leaked the news must not be hidden for a long time. Even if her father knew about it and killed her with his own hands in anger, as long as he could temporarily save Gao Cheng's life, it would be worth it.

The shooting salute is over.

Xiao Zhengde saw that the people in Yang Kan's ambush had not started, and knew that Yang Kan was afraid of hurting the grandson and the princess, so he could only give up.

"The general has a bad complexion, he must be sick, and he should go back to the pavilion early to rest." Xiao Qiongju commanded on his own.

Xiao Zhengde was originally thinking about how to keep Gao Cheng, support the grandson Xiao Daqi and Princess Liyang, and then provide Yang Kan with a chance to do it, but was completely disrupted by Princess Liyang's decision.

Princess Liyang has Lan Jing by her side, her face is gloomy, and she only obeys the princess's orders, and Xiao Zhengde is helpless.

Xiao Qiongju openly sent Gao Cheng out of the back door of Tongtai Temple, just to send Gao Cheng away under Yang Kan's secret surveillance. She and Gao Cheng got into the carriage she had arranged in advance, ordered Lan Jing to escort her, and went to Dutingyi without hesitation.

Before leaving, Princess Liyang ordered to return to the emperor and the crown prince, saying that the Wei envoy suddenly fell ill and sent him back to the pavilion to recuperate for a few days, and no irrelevant people were allowed to disturb him.

The carriage headed from Jilong Mountain towards the Duting Station.

Yang Kan, who had been in a hurry to do anything in the dark, glared angrily at the carriage that was gradually moving away.

Lan Jing, Chen Yuankang, and Cui Jishu escorted the princess and the general in a hurry.

Emperor Liang and the crown prince are both extremely distressed people for their children and grandchildren, with Princess Liyang in the car, no one dares to attack Gao Cheng for the time being.

Xiao Qiongju didn't dare to relax at first, she was extremely nervous, paying attention to the situation outside the car. It wasn't until I was sure that I was okay for the time being that I relaxed a little. Seeing Gao Cheng, who was sitting opposite her, looking at her, she suddenly became nervous again.

His heart was beating wildly, and he turned his head a little unnaturally to avoid his gaze, pretending to be indifferent and ruthless, "What is the general looking at me doing?" ”

"I don't know when the princess became so resourceful and unchaotic, Zihui is very curious." Gao Cheng could see that she was pretending to be calm to hide her panic, and then thinking about the way she was guarding him just now, she was extremely calm at that time, he was not hard-hearted, and he couldn't help but be moved.

Xiao Qiongju turned her head, and her heart suddenly became sour. She doesn't want to be resourceful, and she doesn't want to be in danger. How nice it would have been if this was the first time they met. A little lost. "The general doesn't have to thank me." She didn't want him to thank her in her heart, so she found a reason to force herself to calm down and look at him, "I am the Great Liang Clan, just for the sake of the peace of Liang and Wei, and not to fight." If the general has mercy on the people of the world, he will not cause war, and I will be grateful. ”

Seeing the tears in her eyes, Gao Cheng's heart gradually became heavy. There will never be an obstacle between them. He is no longer the young child she was when she first met, and she can no longer be the simple and willful princess.

Neither of them realized that the carriage had suddenly stopped.

There was talk outside.

"You're really not here for ......" Gao Cheng just wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, the stopped carriage was suddenly slammed into it.

The body shook violently, and the wall behind Xiao Qiongju was stressed, and she was shocked and rushed forward. Gao Cheng was also shocked and shook his body suddenly. She rushed into his arms, and he stretched out his arms to hug her.

"Lan Jing!" Xiao Qiongju shouted outside. She was horrified in her heart, Yang Kan really did it. Yang Kan knew that she was in the car, but she was still acting so ruthlessly, it seemed that she had to put Gao Cheng to death. If Yang Kan doesn't even care about her life, can she still protect Gao Cheng?

"Who are you waiting for?!" Then Lan Jing shouted and asked outside the car, which sounded very frightened.

Gao Cheng felt strange in his heart.

"Lord Lang be careful!"

"Beware!"

It was Cui Jishu and Chen Yuankang's loud shouts again.

Gao Cheng hugged Xiao Qiongju and suddenly bowed down.

With a "dang" sound, a sharp arrow hit the wall of the car.

"Princess, beware, don't move here." Gao Cheng comforted Xiao Qiongju, and then got up and got out of the car.

"Be careful, husband!" Xiao Qiongju blurted out and looked at Gao Cheng's back. He was her life, how could she let him be in danger and hide in the car by herself? Could it be that Yang Kan was really bold enough to dare to kill her together?

These strangely and suspicious people came from nowhere. All of them were dressed in black, with black scarves wrapped around their heads and their faces, and only their eyes were exposed.

This scene is very familiar. If it's a person who is a sheep, you don't need to cover it up so much, right?

Gao Cheng suddenly noticed that Xiao Qiongju also got out of the car. Before he could persuade her, he turned around and picked her up and put her back in the car. "This is not a person from Yang Kan, he will not care about the life of the princess, His Royal Highness should not come out."

"Lan Jing came to protect the princess." Gao Cheng shouted orders to Lan Jing.

"Shizi, this is Hou Jing's person." Chen Yuankang fought and retreated to Gao Cheng's side. He knew that the prince did not carry a sword today, and he was defenseless in his hand, so he held a sword in front of Gao Cheng. At this moment, all the resentment towards Hou Jing in my heart was piled up, and I couldn't wait to be able to kill him.

"Master Lang should go first." They will not hurt Her Royal Highness. Cui Jishu is fat and weighty, he can't resist the battle, he can only run.

"No way!" Gao Cheng flatly refused. Not to mention that he can't do such a thing, if it is really Hou Jing, kill Princess Liyang and then marry him, then Emperor Liang and the crown prince can justifiably attack him.

Cui Jishu looked at the black clothes who were approaching to ask for their lives. secretly thought, Lan Jing must be protecting Princess Liyang. He himself is useless, Chen Yuankang alone can't resist so many people. The son of the world suffered a recurrence of the arrow wound and was defenseless. Is it really going to be here?
