233, loyal or treacherous

In the Jin Palace, Gu Nian didn't feel the slightest sleep, she sat on the couch in the outer room, and asked Qingye to replace the tea cup with new tea.

Since Astragalus was injured and recuperated, all the things around Gu Nian were in charge of Qingye, and seeing that Gu Nian had been sitting and not sleeping, he couldn't help but say,

"Princess, don't drink so much tea, let's rest early. We are waiting for the good news of the prince. ”

Gu Nian looked at the hourglass in the corner of the wall and nodded, "It's useless to just wait like this, your heart is still boiling oil, you can go to sleep too, just leave a lamp." ”

Usually she and Xiao Yue don't want to keep vigil outside, Gu Nian feels that what she does when she sleeps is very private and she doesn't like to be heard.

Xiao Yue is as long as Gu Nian does it, it is all right.

Aoba put the lamp on the small table on the couch, helped Gu Nian put the tent, and was about to exit, when he saw Kikyo walk in from outside.

"Princess, someone came over with a sign from King Su's mansion, saying that Princess Su invited the princess to come over and talk."

Hearing the words of Princess Su, Gu Nian's hand that was changing clothes paused, and turned out from behind the screen, "Mother? Why did she come to invite me at this time? ”

In this time of chaos, not to mention that her mother would not let her go out to risk if there was no major incident, even if there was something, she was not worried about coming from Suwangfu.

And, at this time, what big things will happen?

"What about people?" She asked.

Kikyo said, "It's outside the courtyard." ”

Gu Nian thought for a moment and said, "You take her to the side hall." ”

Soon, Kikyo leads the person to the side hall, where he is a young guard.

Gu Nian looked at it for a while and asked, "It's so late, what is my mother looking for me?" ”

Come to the humane, "I don't know very well about the little one, it was the Hongling girl next to the princess who asked the little one to come over with a sign, as if the princess was a little uncomfortable or something, the party was being caught outside, and it was getting late, so the doctor was not very easy to invite." ”

Gu Nian paused, mother is not very comfortable? It is indeed possible that she and her grandmother went to see Pingyang Hou, and it is normal for her to be upset.

Hongling is the person who was given by his father to his mother, and he has always been very steady.

She looked outside the door, Dark Seven suddenly appeared outside the door, squeezing his eyebrows at her, Dark Seven has always been expressionless, he thinks this is the expression that he should have as a dark guard, even if he has now turned from dark to light.

Gu Nian's heart moved slightly, and he said to the person below, "You go down first, I'm ready to prepare." ”

The person who came raised his head and said anxiously, "Princess, Miss Hongling is very anxious, so ......"

This is urging Gu Nian to hurry up.

Gu Nian bowed his head.

The people who came had to retreat.

Dark Seven rushed in and said, "Princess, at this time, what will Princess Su have to find you?" Think again. ”

Gu Nian frowned and said, "I also think this person is suspicious, but I can't say where it is suspicious, I can say Hongling, and the brand is indeed from Suwangfu."

When you say that, I've made up my mind. ”

She asked Aoba to call Kikyo over, and after a few words, she went out of the side hall and went to the main house.

After a while, a woman wearing a cloak of red plums on a white background came out of it with a hat, and the man who was waiting outside immediately bowed down when he saw this.

Aoba whispered, "Let's go." ”

When the visitor saw Gu Nian get into the carriage, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Aoba who was outside, "The little one who worked on an errand for the first time was able to get things done, and I was finally relieved." ”

It just so happened that the curtain of the car was lifted in a corner, and he looked through the curtain to look at the looming face inside, and his face was even more relaxed.

The carriage came out of the side gate of the palace, and all the way away, the guards of the palace escorted the carriage up the street and retreated, and the number of guards accompanying it suddenly decreased by more than half.

The street will still be full of patrolling soldiers, and when they saw the carriage of the Jin Palace, everyone consciously avoided it.

The distance between the Su Wangfu and the Jin Wangfu is not very far, after two streets in the middle, and then through an alley, you will arrive.

The alleys are full of patrolling soldiers and sentry posts, but the street is full of evergreens that are some years old, especially one planted by the founding emperor, and now it is a good place for people to enjoy the coolness.

As they passed under the tree, the treetops moved, and then several silver rays of light pierced the carriage like arrows, and several people rushed on both sides of the alley.

Two groups of men surrounded the wagon under the tree from all sides.

As soon as the carriage arrived on the street, there were fewer guards, and at this time, more than a dozen swords stabbed over, and there were people rushing out of the alley, surrounding the carriage to death, not only the people in the carriage could not get out, but even the guards had no time to take care of it.

In an instant, the carriage was immediately targeted.

However, the besiegers of the carriage did not kill them, and after all the swords were stabbed at the carriage at first, the offensive slowed down the rest of the time.

The sentinels on either side were stunned by the sudden assassination.

At this time, Dark Qi, who was the coachman, threw away the felt hat on his head, and with an order, more than two dozen guards from the opposite street quickly and methodically surrounded the assassin in the middle.

The more than a dozen assassins had been wondering why there were so few guards with the chariot, but they finally reacted and had no choice but to give up attacking the carriage and turn around to deal with the besieging palace guards and patrolling soldiers.

"All that can be captured alive will be captured alive, and those who cannot be captured alive will not be killed." Dark Seven's voice was like a nail, nailed to the assassin's heart.

For a while, the sound of fighting shook the sky.

Kikyo, who was wearing a red plum cloak on a white background, jumped out of the carriage and threw something at a sentry on the side who had not yet come to his senses, and said,

"Princess Jin has an order, not a single assassin can escape, if you don't call someone to reinforce it, you will be stupid if someone runs away."

After speaking, without waiting for the stunned sentry to come to his senses, he drew the long knife hanging from his body and joined the ranks of the encirclement and suppression of the assassins.

When the sentry saw that his weapons had been snatched away, he looked at the cloak and a sign stuffed in his hand, and suddenly came back to his senses, holding his things and shouting as he ran,

"Princess Jin has an order, please reinforce Yuqian Hutong......"

His voice was sharp and resounded all around.

In another alley separated from Yuqian Hutong, the fourth prince heard the shouts of the sentry, and his heart kept falling, "What's the matter?" So many people didn't catch Gu Nian? What happened? ”

The guards beside the fourth prince also frowned, "Could it be that the Jin Palace's side is on guard, so the Jin princess was not fooled?" ”

In fact, what he wanted to say was that the four princes deceived people at this time, and it was difficult for people to be fooled.

However, he didn't understand at first why the fourth prince deceived people at this time of chaos, and now he knows.

Now that Xiao Yue and the others have laid a net, it will be difficult for them to escape.

And the four princes are just waiting, waiting for an impossible person to appear, and even if they die, the four princes don't want to die, they want to die vigorously.

On this night that had not been cold to the bone marrow, across an alley, listening to the sound of swords catching each other, the four princes only felt that it was the sound of drums from the Hades Palace, which was rapid and dull.

"Lord Wang, all the people we sent out are ......"

"You can't escape it, can you?" The fourth prince raised his head, and when he looked closely, his lips were a little red, as if they were stained with blood.

"Lord Wang......" Just when the four princes wanted to be ruthless and wanted to let the last life-saving thing for the people around them to fetch, a soft cry seemed to fall from the sky, and it was like a god and demon suddenly transformed into a person.

I saw a man with a lantern in his hand, his robe was a little messy, and his clothes were swinging in the cold wind.

"Young Master Mo." The people around the four princes shouted first.

"Great." The fourth prince stood up, his voice hoarse, "Why are you here?" ”

The light of the lantern shone on the face of the person who came, and it was the young master Mo who was locked up in the mansion by the eldest princess of Changning.

He walked to the side of the fourth prince, extinguished the lantern, and threw it on the ground, "Lord, follow me to the princess's mansion, there is a road that does not have many sentinels." ”

"I brought the clothes of the princess's house, you just need to change them."

The fourth prince laughed dismally, "At this time, can your grandmother let us go to the princess's mansion?" ”

"If I go to the Princess's Mansion, hundreds of people in your Mansion will die. How will you explain to your grandmother when the time comes? ”

The cold wind blew, and the dilapidated window lattices in the courtyard behind them rattled, adding a taste of decadence to the silent night.

Mo Dashao didn't seem to hear the mocking words of the fourth prince, but pulled him into a broken courtyard, found a stool, and sat down.

He has been locked up all the time, because he heard people in the mansion discussing the chaos outside, and what kind of chaos he was arresting.

He knew that something had happened to the fourth prince.

Taking advantage of the guards' inattention, he escaped through the back window.

Fortunately, he was lucky enough to find the fourth prince at once, he gasped slightly, and said,

"It's not just you, it's me who can't escape.

The emperor couldn't bear it, but he just wanted to make a breakthrough from our house and catch you.

Since everyone can't escape, why don't you come with me?

At this time, whether it is the Jin Palace, or the eldest princess of the protectorate, they must go to ask the emperor to investigate thoroughly, and when the time comes, ......"

The fourth prince raised his head and looked at Mo Dashao, "Originally, you were nothing, but if you bring me back, won't you even have a chance to argue?" ”

Mo Dashao nodded and said, "It's true, but so what?" We've been laying out for so long, but we haven't been able to do it.

Recently, I was locked up at home by my grandmother, and after thinking about it, I felt that some things seemed to have their own destiny in the dark, and the number of qi in the east was not exhausted, and our Mo family endured it for decades, but until now, it has not moved at all.

If people want to fight with the sky, it is still more difficult. ”

The fourth prince laughed, "It's because it's too difficult for people and Tiandou, so I have to fight, I also have the blood of the Son of Heaven, Wenzhi and martial arts, no worse than the person on the throne."

We never lost in providence, and I never believed in the providence of any bullshit.

We just lost in underestimating the enemy, and we lost in underestimating the relationship between Xiao Yue and the emperor, one wrong step, one wrong step. ”

On a cold night, there was silence all around, and the four princes suddenly snorted.

Mo Da Shao got up and walked outside, "Don't say anything, let's go see Grandmother first." ”

The fourth prince stood still, "Since the princess can lock you up, doesn't she just want you to wade into this troubled water again, why should you?" ”

"The prince doesn't need to test me, although what we do may not be so glorious, and we may die, but since the day we formed the alliance, I haven't thought about the way back."

"Tonight, whether we live or die, we will either be famous together, or we will die together.

Regardless of life or death, we are born on the ground to watch all this change of dynasty, and when we die, we will look at the world together in the sky, looking at Dongli and the Xiao family, what will happen to the eldest princess of the country!

I never regretted it, after all, I was avenging my father and grandfather. ”

Even if the search decree comes down, it will not necessarily be exposed.

The eldest princess of Changning is the eldest elder in the clan, and her popularity has always been very good.

Although the emperor has been on the throne for several years, he has had a reputation for benevolence since the time of the crown prince.

If he becomes the emperor and takes the clan elders under the knife, when the time comes, how will he become the world's famous Ming Jun?

The cold wind made the window clatter against the lattice, squeak open, and hit the wall. It makes people feel that no amount of language is as smooth as it used to be.

The fourth prince was indeed testing Young Master Mo, after all, he hadn't appeared for so long, and just now he said that the eldest princess of Changning trapped him in the mansion.

Then, the eldest princess of Changning must have repented and wanted to tear up the covenant between them.

He chose the Mo family as an ally because of Young Master Mo.

He wants to avenge his family, but his inner conscience is still there, and he has the tendons of a literati.

The more the eldest princess of Changning obstructed, the more he had to do it.

For example, in front of the eyes.

The fourth prince chuckled, "I'll go with you, but we're not going to the princess's mansion, we're going to the Anwang mansion......"

"King An's Mansion?" Mo Dashao raised his head, his face shocked.

"Yes, King An's Mansion. The emperor is good at everything, the only bad thing is that he can't teach children. King An wants his father to die more than anyone else!

He can even do it to the queen, and he can do it like killing his father. ”

Mo Dashao suppressed his voice and said, "Are you sure?" We must be foolproof now. King An has now been grounded by the emperor. How can it help us? ”

The fourth prince put his hands behind his back and said with a smile, "Of course, it will soon be the annual festival day of Dongli." No matter how much the emperor imprisons King An, he will still let him go to worship the sky.

After all, he is the eldest son of the emperor.

Moreover, immediately the Northern Barbarians united with several other tribes and small armies to suppress the border. At this time, the water in the capital is the most mixed and the most convenient for us to shoot. ”

Mo Dashao was shocked and lost his voice, "Beiban? What about the people on the border? They don't blink an eye. ”

He wants revenge, but it is against the enemy, and he wants to kill only the enemy, not ordinary innocent people.

What's more, there are so many people on the border, Xiao Yue finally beat them away, do you want to lure the wolf into the house again?

Then when the country is broken and the people are displaced, what is the point of his revenge?

His entanglement was seen by the four princes, "You have to know, once disloyal, a hundred times not to use, even if you think about those people, who will think about you?" ”

The fourth prince said faintly.

Plotting misdeeds is a major crime of extermination, and no one knows what kind of ending the princess's mansion and the Mo family will fall back to.

He is naturally not afraid of death, but he is afraid that he will not be able to hold revenge.

The destruction of the four princes is more like going mad, but they really have no way out.

Instead of being chased to death, you can only die head-on.

At this point, the Mo family has been mentally prepared since the beginning when they began to plan revenge.

has come to this point, and there is really no one who has no way out, so he can only bite the bullet.

When the group went to King An's mansion, the fourth prince instructed one of the guards beside him, "You go back to the house in Chashu Hutong, there is a big bag of gunpowder there, you go and marry it." ”

This was the last thing he had, and now that he had a better way, he didn't need it anymore.

Only by constantly cutting off the back road can people move forward indomitably.

This side is not far from Chashu Hutong, and when the fourth prince and Young Master Mo agreed on what to do when they went to King An's Mansion, the guards sent out had already brought back the gunpowder.

He tied the gunpowder to the guard who had just returned, "Go, meet someone on the way, grab a few and come over, we will wait for you in King An's mansion." ”

The guard nodded firmly, "My subordinates will definitely be able to go to King An's Mansion, Lord Wang, take care." He knelt down and kowtowed to the fourth prince.

Mo Dashao stopped the guard and said to the fourth prince, "What did you let him do?" Why arrest people randomly? Enough people have died. ”

The fourth prince smiled sarcastically, "Are you stupid?" If we want to go to King An's Mansion, someone must lead away some of the pursuers and attract Xiao Yue's attention, otherwise what is the difference between throwing yourself into the net? ”

The guard was silent, turned and walked out of the ruined courtyard, and a moment later heard heart-rending cries outside, and finally disappeared into the darkness.

Young Master Mo pursed his lips, "What we have to deal with is not ordinary people, you are like this, even if you ascend to the throne in the future, there are so many people, can you block it?"

When the time comes, you will still be a cruel and unkind faint king, how can you compare with today? ”

The fourth prince looked at Master Mo, this is the literati, the literati are tired of plotting, and they will not succeed in a hundred years, this is the example.

But at this time, it was already precious that Young Master Mo could come to him, and he said, "Don't worry, he won't really detonate, just lead people to lure the soldiers outside away, so that we can go to King An's Mansion quickly." ”

Young Master Mo is not a fool, he has been able to endure for so many years, and under the supervision of Xiao Yue and the people sent by the emperor, he can not be found guilty evidence, which shows that he is a strategic person.

This will face what the fourth prince said, naturally he didn't believe it, "You don't have to let your men go down to die, King An's Mansion is not far from the princess's mansion, and I was already optimistic about the route when I came."

You change your clothes and let me go, let him come back, don't hurt the innocent. ”

But at this time, it was useless to say, the guard with explosives strapped all over his body had already gone away.

On this day, it was almost midnight, the battle in Yuqian Hutong had already ended, and now the four princes were being searched everywhere, and Xiao Yue believed that the four princes were near here.

When the searchers arrived at Yuqian Hutong and were about to disperse, they saw a man riding on, and the person pulling the reins was carrying a child behind him, and a person was hanging on the back of the horse in front of him, and the child on his back was crying heartbreakingly.

The searcher immediately stopped, and the leader hurriedly asked one of his subordinates to report to Xiao Yue.

The horses ran as fast as they could, and at once they drove past them, and they followed them until they reached the bottom of the tower.

There were people in ambush everywhere at the city gates, just to prevent the people of the four princes from escaping from here.

At this moment, if the guards sent by the four princes want to go up to the city tower, it is basically impossible.

Moreover, there were several of his companions on the city tower, who had just been captured alive by Xiao Yue and them.

He left the woman hanging in front of the horse, carried the child behind him, and dismounted, and the soldiers who defended the city had already discovered them, and surrounded him with weapons in their hands.

"This king is the one you want to capture." Only the guard pulled open the gunpowder bag that was covering his chest, and the child was tied behind him.

He pulled out a dagger from his waist and slashed his face a few times, and in an instant, his face immediately became a bloody blur, and if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't know who it was.

And his figure was similar to that of the Four Princes, with a low and hoarse voice.

He scratched his face, and did not feel pain, but returned his dagger, and with a crying hoarse child, he held the gunpowder, and at the same time drew his torch from the side of the wall, and laughed.

The people who followed from Yuqian Hutong behind were already out of breath, and at the same time there was Xiao Yue on horseback.

The guard saw Xiao Yue and bared his teeth, "Xiao Yue, you are here, I have you to die with me today, I am also worth it, you come here, I will die with you." ”

Xiao Yue rode on the horse, squinting at the 'Four Princes' who climbed up the city tower, and didn't make a sound.

At this time, Gu Nian, surrounded by Dark Seven and the guards, also rode over.

On the city tower, the 'Four Princes' are like a scenery carved under the canopy of heaven against the backdrop of torches.

Gu Nian drove the horse to Xiao Yue's side, looked at the city tower with his head held high, and said loudly, "You have been thinking about it for so many years, but you ended up so miserable, why are you?" ”

The guards pretending to be the four princes on the city tower looked at Gu Nian indifferently, "It's a pity that I didn't catch you just now, if I caught you, I wouldn't have ended up in such a field." ”

Gu Nian stood up to the voice on the city tower and said to Xiao Yue, "This is not the Fourth Prince!" ”

It's not that she's narcissistic, but that the attitude of the four princes towards her is definitely not like this.

Thinking of the words that the fourth prince said when he escaped from Huangjue Temple and led her to meet in Huangzhuang, it would definitely not be such an answer.

Xiao Yue nodded, said no more, looked at the people on the city tower, and suddenly gestured back.

The dark one behind him took a bow from the soldier on the side, "Lord Wang, let's come down to the lowly position." ”

Regardless of whether he succeeds or not, he bears the responsibility, and it has nothing to do with Xiao Yue.

Xiao Yue didn't speak, but looked at the people on the city tower with cold eyes, and the guards on the city tower saw the bow in Xiao Yue's hand, turned his back, and said to Xiao Yue,

"You shoot here, so it doesn't matter that this child will die, and everyone in this city will die under your hands......"

Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a pop sound, and he was hit by an arrow in each of his hands and in the neck.

No one saw how Xiao Yue made a move, and at this moment, there was a chilling coldness all over his body.

His shot was decisive and neat, without a hint of discount, and he shot the man accurately.

His purpose was accomplished, and the torches in the hands of the guards on the castle tower were dropped, and the hands holding the gunpowder softened. The gunpowder was tied to his body, so as to prevent him from touching the ground when he fell to the ground, which would also explode, not to mention the child on his back, even other people would also be injured.

He fell forward, and the people on the tower and below all ran around.

I saw the guard fall down to the bottom of the tower, although the soldiers below had already run, but it was impossible to catch it.

Almost the moment he fell, Xiao Yue jumped up from his horse, pedaled the saddle, and headed towards the city wall, and then saw that in mid-air, two figures intersected, Xiao Yue grabbed the 'four princes' who fell down the city tower with one hand, and at the same time stepped on the city wall a few steps, and flew to the ground.

Gu Nian had seen all kinds of Xiao Yue, but it was the first time she had seen such a neat Xiao Yue, and she was stunned.

By the time he came back to his senses, he was already on the ground.

The soldiers on the side went up one after another to take over the 'Four Princes' at his hand.

Gu Nian got off the horse and walked over, the child had been rescued and was already frightened, she hugged her and comforted her softly.

Xiao Yue had already gone to examine the corpse, and Gu Nian happened to see the bloody face that had been scratched, and suddenly his stomach was tumbling and he retched.

Xiao Yue hurriedly turned around, took out the child in her arms, and instructed Aoba, "Let Dark Seven send you back, if it's over here, I'll go back to the house." ”

Gu Nian forcibly suppressed the vomiting sensation that came up, and was about to get on the horse, when he saw Nanshan beside Gu Shi'an riding a fast horse over, and before anyone said, the sound arrived first,

"Lord, princess, the brother who is monitoring King An's mansion has reported a letter, Mo Dashao took a lot of people over there, and this will already go to the palace with King An......"

Gu Nian turned his head to look at Xiao Yue, "The four princes must be in that group ......"

Xiao Yue couldn't help but get on the horse, and said to Gu Nian, "You go back to the house, I'll go to the palace." ”
