Chapter 44: Running Wild
The second prince Zhu Hong and the seventh prince Zhu Yu are not quite right with the eldest prince Zhu Qing on weekdays, this time the eldest prince Zhu Qing lost the Diyuan Dan made by the fifth prince Zhu Bo, and they searched for it in the palace, and the assassin did not hold one, which made the whole palace angry and resentful.
In particular, the bedrooms of the second prince Zhu Hong and the seventh prince Zhu Yu were searched by the people sent by the eldest prince Zhu Qing, and the eldest prince Zhu Qing obviously focused on them.
The second prince Zhu Hong and the seventh prince Zhu Yu held their breath and had no place to do it, of course, they wanted to take this opportunity to make a fuss and completely isolate the eldest prince Zhu Qing from the princes and princesses.
"This palace has an appointment today, and I have something very important to go out! If you don't let go of the main palace, you're going to break in! The second prince shouted angrily.
The seventh prince, Zhu Yu, followed behind the second prince with a smile and did not take the initiative.
The second prince Zhu Hong was born with five big and three thick, the martial artist cultivation is almost the same as the eldest prince, and he is also a strong man at the Diyuan level, and he likes to make friends with the strong people of various sects on Obi Island, and the martial Emperor Zhu Xi admires him very much, saying that his martial arts cultivation will be the best among all the princes in the future.
The people of the second prince and the seventh prince also went to the auction during the day, and the eldest prince was a little suspicious at that time, and it must have been the work of the second prince and the seventh prince to raise a Diyuan Dan worth 80,000 taels to a high price of 115,000 taels.
The second prince Zhu Hong is also a very strong contender for the crown prince's throne, so the first suspect of the eldest prince's theft of Di Yuan Dan is him, according to the guess of the eldest prince, the second prince did not photograph Di Yuan Dan during the day, most of them have a grudge, and most of the assassins last night were done by the sect masters found by the second prince, the purpose is to steal the Di Yuan Dan he gave to the fifth prince and give it to the seventh prince to show his favor and friendship.
The seventh prince Zhu Yu is polite, both civil and military, with a very high IQ, he showed superhuman wisdom when he was very young, and he was extremely humble to others, and he was deeply loved by the current emperor Zhu Xi, saying that he was the smartest of all the princes, the most benevolent, and the one who could best understand the mystery of the emperor's mind.
At present, the nineteen-year-old Seventh Prince Zhu Yu's martial arts cultivation has reached the fifth level of the human yuan level, and he also has the strength to compete for the throne, and he will be able to hit the earth yuan level in less than two years in terms of martial arts cultivation, plus he is good friends with the second prince, so he is also one of the key suspects of the eldest prince's theft of the Di Yuan Dan.
"The eldest prince has an order to prohibit the princes and princesses of the palaces from going out before the emperor returns to the palace." The commanders of the five battalions of the Imperial Forest Army all stood in front of the palace in person, constantly explaining to the princes and princesses.
"Joke! He's a prince, so I'm not a prince? Or do you suspect that Hongu is an assassin? "The second prince's emotions are getting more and more intense.
Fang Ji, as the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, hid back in the house at this moment, and the five commanders of the battalions of the Royal Forest Army under him were in difficulty, the commander Fang Ji was not there, the great prince had an order in front, and the assassin had not been caught, so he really didn't dare to let people out easily, although he was embarrassed in every way at the moment, he just refused to open the palace gate.
"Go! Open the palace door for me! I'm going to see who dares to stop it! With a wave of his hand, the second prince ordered a few little eunuchs who followed by the carriage to open the big iron gate of the Forbidden City.
The eunuchs of the Seven Princes and some little princes and princesses also rushed up to help open the big iron gate, Tang Xiao of course ran over to join in the fun, mixed with a large group of little eunuchs, and those Imperial Forest Army soldiers pushed and shoved, those Royal Forest Army soldiers were not strong enough to guard the door, and after being pushed and shoved by Tang Xiao and others for a while, they took advantage of this step to hide aside.
Emperor Zhu Xi is not there, the commander Fang Ji is not there, and several princes are not giving in to each other, what can these royal forest troops do?
"Second prince, open the palace gate, we can't explain to the eldest prince!" The five commanders looked embarrassed, of course, now in front of all the princes and princesses, they must play the trick enough, so as not to punish them from the eldest prince.
"You tell him that I forcibly opened the palace gate! If he wants to find trouble, let him come to me! After the second prince shouted at the five commanders, he urged the carriage to rush out of the palace gate quickly.
The Seven Princes also bowed their hands to the five commanders, and rushed out of the palace gate behind the carriage of the second prince, and several other princes and princesses rushed out with them, and the scene became a little chaotic for a while.
However, not long after these cars drove out, they had just crossed the Gonglong Bridge, and a group of soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army rushed over from the official road of Taijing City on high-headed horses, and shouted: "Pass the emperor's message!" All princes and princesses are not allowed to leave the Forbidden City until the emperor returns to the palace! ”
Princess Yitai did not rush out of the palace gate because of her weak heart, her car has been stranded in the palace, when the second prince, the seventh prince and other people all returned to the palace, she hurriedly looked around, and found that Tang Xiao had disappeared, so she was a little relieved.
……
After Tang Xiao slipped out of the Forbidden City with the car of the second prince and the seventh prince, as soon as he crossed the Gonglong Bridge, the car of the second prince and the seventh prince was stopped by the emperor's edict. Tang Xiao took advantage of the fact that no one paid attention to him, and quickly rushed towards Taijing City, but unexpectedly, martial law was imposed in Taijing City, and there was no one near the Forbidden City.
Tang Xiao secretly screamed that it was not good, it was not good to use thunder shocks in Taijing City, and the explosion would only make things bigger and bigger, he didn't dare to stay, and immediately ran wildly into a nearby alley, but it didn't take long for Tang Xiao's body to be a little overdrawn when he was still seriously ischemia, his physical strength declined rapidly, and his consciousness began to become blurred, and if he continued to run like this, he would pass out at any time.
Several patrols behind heard the shouting and chased after them, and when Tang Xiao ran through the corner of a laneway, he collided head-on with a team of Hou Ye's cars, and several large carriages completely blocked the road, and the driver's flag had a big 'Wang' character written on it.
Several teams of patrols chasing over were approaching, and there was no way to escape ahead, Tang Xiao, who was dizzy, sighed, it was easy to escape from the palace, but he was blocked here, he was really unwilling!
Just as Tang Xiao was about to force his way through this area, the curtain of the Hou Ye's car in front of him was lifted, and a young man in a white robe leaned out of half of his body, beckoned to Tang Xiao and motioned for him to get into the car, Tang Xiao had some doubts in his heart, but he had no choice at this time, only hesitated for half a second, and then he jumped into the carriage.
"Master Hou! Have you ever seen a little eunuch escape from here? He may have been an accomplice of last night's assassins! The captain of the Royal Guards patrol rushed to the car and questioned the owner of the car loudly.
Wang Lin, Marquis of Dingyong, lifted the curtain and looked out, with an indifferent expression: "The second prince made an appointment with Ben Hou to meet here to discuss things, Ben Hou has never left the carriage, where did he see any eunuch assassins?" ”
"I'm sorry to disturb Master Hou!" Several teams of Royal Forest patrol soldiers immediately split up and searched around the car and several nearby alleys.
……
"Why did you save me?" Tang Xiao looked at the white-robed young man in front of him, and felt a little strange in his heart, Zhu Qian had never mentioned that Tang Xiao had a friend of Hou Ye before, and he was such a young Hou Ye.
Dingyong Marquis Wang Lin was looking at Tang Xiao with interest at the moment, yesterday he did make an appointment with the second prince Zhu Hong to meet here this morning to discuss things, but in fact, it was because Ziyue Zhenren asked him to stay here, the purpose was to wait for Hou to rescue Tiangangxing and escape.
Dingyong Hou asked Ziyue Zhenren at that time, who was Tiangangxing, and he didn't recognize the wrong person when he guarded it, but Ziyue Zhenren just said to let him wait for a little eunuch who fled in a panic, and that person would crash into his car, Dingyong Hou wanted to ask a few more words, and Ziyue Zhenren immediately ...
