Chapter 55: Interception and Killing (Second Watch)
Yes, as long as he kills Xiao Zhen, he will not have this trouble and threat.
Xiao Ze immediately made a decision, "Since he is now reused by his father, don't blame me, who is a ruthless brother." ”
After all, there is only one big bit.
The head secret guard of the East Palace has been sent out, but Xiao Ze can't wait for Xiao Zhen to die, so he sent out the guards guarding the East Palace.
Therefore, Xiao Zhen was only a hundred miles out of the city, and he was assassinated by Donggong Jingwei.
The Ling Painting School naturally came in handy for the people Xiao Zhen protected, and the two sides fought fiercely in the dark night, and the blood stained the resting pavilion on the official road.
Zhao Jiang, the head of the household, shrank in the innermost side of the resting pavilion, looking at this large number of interceptions and killings just after leaving Beijing for only a hundred miles, he thought that there was really something dirty behind the destruction of the embankment in Hengchuan County, and he was afraid that he would have a connection with the people in the capital, otherwise he and His Royal Highness would not have been assassinated like this as soon as he and His Royal Highness left Beijing.
Thinking of this, he looked at Xiao Zhen, Xiao Zhen stood not far from him, standing with his hands behind his back, his posture standing straight, like green pines and green bamboos, there were two guards standing beside him, one left and one right, these two guards also stood straight, standing with a protective posture and a horizontal sword, Xiao Zhen's face was blocked in the shadow by the pillars of the Rest Pavilion, and Zhao Jiang could not see his facial expression.
But with his posture, Zhao Jiang knew that His Royal Highness was not afraid.
Zhao Jiang is the head of the household, and the Zhao Mansion naturally has a team of guards, and when he goes out, he also brings a lot of people, but his people are now facing such a large number of powerful killers, and those who can use it have the power to fight with one of them can't pick out a few people, and most of them can't intervene at all, that is, they all stand on his side and protect him.
And the people brought by Xiao Zhen, except for the two people standing beside him, the rest of the people were killed together with a large number of killers, and they seemed to be on par.
The two people who protect Xiao Zhen, don't think about it, they must be two masters.
Zhao Jiang thought in surprise that he might be like everyone in the court, underestimating this Second Highness.
He thought about it carefully, what is special and unusual about His Second Highness over the years, but he can't think of it, His Royal Highness has always been ordinary and ordinary no matter what he does, and there is no special brilliance, if he has to find out one point, that is, His Royal Highness is very unliking His Majesty, His Majesty is not happy to see him most of the time, he is known to be harsh, he has never cared, praised, appreciated, and compared with the importance and love of the prince, it is a world of difference.
But if it was really the Second Highness who was ordinary and ordinary and had no brilliance, how could he have such a large number of powerful people in his hands to confront this group of people who came to intercept and kill?
Zhao Jiang moved to Xiao Zhen's side and spoke to him, "Second Highness? ”
Xiao Zhen turned his face and looked at Zhao Jiang.
Zhao Jiang saw it clearly this time, Xiao Zhen didn't have any expression on his face, he was very calm and calm, and he could even be called expressionless, he suppressed his surprise, "The old man can't see it, who are these people who came to intercept and kill us?" ”
Xiao Zhen looked at Zhao Jiang's pale face, and his tone was calm, "Zhao Shangshu rest assured, it's the person who came to kill me, not you, it's probably because my father suddenly paid attention to me, who got in the way, and who got in the way." ”
He said this so clearly that even a fool could hear it.
Xiao Zhen was suddenly reused by His Majesty, whose eyes can hinder? Who's in the way? Obviously, the prince of the East Palace.
Zhao Jiang was frightened at this juncture, he really didn't expect this layer, and then he was shocked when he heard this. This group of people who came to intercept and kill them turned out to be the secret guards of the East Palace?
Xiao Zhen turned his head again, looking at the battle in front of him, how much Xiao Ze looked down on him, although he sent the Jingwei of the East Palace, but he only sent such a few people, and he couldn't even get close to him.
He sneered, turned his head and instructed Leng Yue, "Leave a living mouth and let him go back to his life." ”
Leng Yue should be, and he joined the battle in front of him.
Xiao Zhen turned his head to look at the drizzle again, "Did your master overestimate him?" ”
Drizzle blinked, "The master has been dealing with that person for three years, and he never dared to underestimate that person, that person went crazy, and even the master was almost killed by him a few times, so it was probably because he underestimated Your Royal Highness that he sent such a little person, after today, that person will not be there, and the person who comes next time will definitely be very numerous and powerful." ”
Xiao Ze sneered, "Then let him have more and more powerful people." ”
also let him understand how Ling Hua has been chased and killed by him in the past three years.
He is not afraid that Zhao Jiang knows that he has always pretended, since his father sent Zhao Jiang, the head of the household department, to him to go to Hengchuan County for disaster relief, then, if he does not subdue Zhao Jiang along the way, he is sorry for his father to warn Xiao Ze for taking him as a warn.
Zhao Jiang's path has only two choices, one is to be subdued by him and tied to him, and the other is to know his secrets a lot, if he doesn't want to take refuge in him, then he can only go to the end.
He didn't shy away from talking to Drizzle, this Zhao Jiang suddenly raised his heart, and he could sit in the position of the head of the household book, Zhao Jiang is naturally not a fool, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is cunning, otherwise he would not be able to be the most oily and watery head of the six departments.
He is the person who is now the head of the East Palace when His Majesty is still the crown prince, and after His Majesty ascended the throne, he sat in the position of the head of the household for twenty years.
So, he is His Majesty's man.
Although His Majesty did not give any special instructions before he left Beijing, he knew in his heart that he had sent His Second Highness to Hengchuan County with him, and he was the one who took the idea. Because His Majesty said, let His Royal Highness cooperate with him. The two words of synergy illustrate His Majesty's thoughts.
But now......
Zhao Jiang seemed to have discovered Xiao Zhen's big secret hidden under his ordinary appearance, and Xiao Zhen didn't care that his big secret was exposed in front of his eyes.
His feelings of regret suddenly overwhelming, thinking that he had unknowingly been involved in the turmoil of the struggle for the throne? He carefully kept his arms around His Majesty's thighs, not standing in line in the court, only standing with His Majesty, and was loyal, but now, who can tell him? What's going on right in front of him?
If he had known earlier, he would definitely not have asked for an order to personally go to Hengchuan County for disaster relief, and would rather not indulge his ambitions and then rise to the cabinet.
Xiao Zhen Yuguang saw that Zhao Jiang's face changed, and he didn't care, there were many opportunities along the way, after going to Hengchuan County, the days were still very long, and he was not in a hurry for a while.
Since he was a child, whether it was Ling Hua's maternal grandfather Wang Jin telling him to learn to endure the word, or later, Ling Hua often said the word forbearance to him when he jumped his feet, he kept branding this word in his heart and branding it again, ten years later, so that today, although he doesn't have to endure it, he has also learned to calm down.
He had to make Zhao Jiang unable to hold his breath and attack people before he could subdue him, after all, it would be much more beneficial to subdue him than to kill him.
Half an hour later, the fight was over, and under Xiao Zhen's deliberate release, a living mouth in the East Palace left with injuries.
Xiao Ze glanced lightly at the direction in which the living mouth was leaving, and ordered, "Continue on your way." ”
The team regrouped and set off.
Zhao Jiang was in a very complicated mood, he didn't turn back when he opened the bow, he had already been ordered to go out of Beijing, so he couldn't go back, and it was impossible to tell His Majesty what had just happened now, he couldn't tell the crown prince Xiao Ze's state, let alone expose the face of His Royal Highness Xiao Zhen, so he could only follow Xiao Zhen to continue to Hengchuan County.
From this moment on, he knew that he had been controlled by Xiao Zhen, perhaps, along the way, he had to listen to Xiao Zhen, and when he arrived in Hengchuan County, he probably had to listen to him, and ...... I'm afraid I'm going to get on his boat.
In the East Palace, Xiao Ze has been waiting for news.
At ten o'clock in the morning, one person returned to the East Palace covered in blood, knelt on the ground, and said to Xiao Ze bitterly, "Your Highness, Second Highness Xiao Zhen...... He, he ......"
"What about him?" Xiao Ze looked at this Jingwei, who had become a bloody man, almost unrecognizable in his original appearance, and instantly had a bad premonition and lifted his heart.
This man spat out a sentence with difficulty, "There are a large number of expert guards around him, and he can't kill them, and the people sent by His Highness only survived and came back." ”
The man finished speaking in one breath, lost too much blood and passed out.
Xiao Ze was shocked and angry, when did Xiao Zhen have a large number of masters around him? He went out of Beijing with a large number of masters? Is it his own person, or is it the person his father gave him? No, I haven't heard that my father gave him manpower.
So it's his own people?
Although there are not many people he sent to kill Xiao Zhen, the Jingwei of the East Palace are all masters of one top one, and now the people sent out have survived one by one? It was hard for him not to suspect that it was Xiao Zhen who left him a message back.
Good! What a pillow!
He's been pretending to be so good!
Xiao Ze was furious, clenched his fists, called Jiang Hao, and pointed to the dark guard who had fainted on the ground, "You say, how can I kill Xiao Zhen?" ”
The head secret guard of his East Palace has already been dispatched, and now that the batch of elite guards sent out has been broken, Xiao Zhen is not as harmless as he showed at all, and next, he must kill him.
