After Ling Hua rode out of the capital two hundred miles on a fast horse, the Donggong Jingwei sent by Xiao Ze chased after him.

Hearing the movement behind, Liuli immediately protected Ling Hua with a horizontal sword, "Miss, a large number of people have come from behind, I'm afraid it's someone sent by the East Palace." ”

Ling Hua's expression was calm, and he turned to Xiao Jin and said, "Let me see the strength of your group?" ”

Xiao Jin nodded, reached into his arms, took out a signal flare and flew into the air.

The secret guards of the Jiangbei County Palace, who were not far behind, saw the signal flare, the leader gestured, and the three hundred dark guards appeared together.

At the same time, the Jingwei of the East Palace in the back also came to the front, and saw that Ling Hua was protected by Liuli behind him, and without saying a word, he showed his sword and besieged him.

The people brought by Ling Hua did not step forward, but retreated in unison, leaving the battlefield to the three hundred secret guards of the Jiangbei County Palace.

The two sides fought in an instant.

Ling Hua watched the battle for a moment and praised Xiao Jin, "The group of people who are the prince of the county are indeed as you said, they are very useful, not bad." ”

There were also three hundred Jingwei sent by the East Palace, which was obviously on par with Xiao Jin's people.

Liuli was eager to try on the side, "Miss, I also want to go up, the East Palace sent out so many fat sheep this time, wouldn't it be a pity not to slaughter them?" ”

Ling Hua agreed, "Okay, let our people go up too!" ”

In her world, there is no such thing as bullying more and not being a gentleman.

Liuli got the words, the whole person was suddenly in good spirits, and with a wave of his hand, the people who retreated in the rear rushed forward together, and together with the people of the Jiangbei County Palace, they surrounded and killed the Jingwei of the East Palace.

The leader of the East Palace saw that the momentum was not right, and immediately remembered Xiao Ze's instructions and retreated with people.

But how could Liuli allow them to retreat easily, they clenched tightly, and after being entangled for half an hour, although the people in the East Palace retreated, they still suffered a lot of damage.

Liuli put away the sword and asked Ling Hua for credit, "Miss, am I powerful?" ”

"Awesome." Ling Hua smiled and nodded, coldly watching Donggong Jingwei withdraw, thinking that Xiao Ze should have been hit a few more times, and now that he had been hit one after another, he was afraid that he would be even more panicked.

Jingwei of the East Palace returned to Beijing, and the leader knelt on the ground to plead guilty to Xiao Ze.

Xiao Ze saw that the leader was injured, and he knew that this time it was not going well, so he said with a calm face, "What? Still can't help Ling Hua? ”

The leader said, "She has a large number of secret guards in her hands, which are very powerful, as if they are specially raised, and they are on par with the secret guards of our East Palace." ”

"What a Ling painting, what kind of heart does he have to raise so many secret guards?" Xiao Ze was furious.

But even if he was angry, he didn't dare to take the matter to the emperor to complain, after all, the emperor did not allow him to move Ling painting, so he did it secretly over the years, but he didn't expect that after she gave everyone to Xiao Zhen, she could still take out people, and let the Jingwei of the East Palace return in vain.

He asked, "How much is the loss?" ”

The leader lowered his head, "Fifty-two people have been lost." ”

Xiao Ze took a deep breath, "Didn't this palace repeatedly tell you to retreat as soon as you saw that something was wrong?" ”

The leader said, "The humble position saw that the situation was not right, and it was true that they immediately retreated, but the other party was entangled, and these people failed to withdraw." ”

Xiao Ze clenched his fists, "The Ling family is rich and rich, Ling Hua does not hesitate to raise people with tens of millions of gold, and the person she supports is Xiao Zhen, if it goes on like this, then what else can this palace win?" ”

The leader did not dare to answer.

Xiao Ze waved his hand, "You go down!" ”

He shouted to the outside, "Let Jiang Hao come." ”

The leader retreated, Jiang Hao quickly came to Xiao Ze's study, and when he saw Xiao Ze's ugly face, he knew that he had lost people again this time, and his face was not very good, so he bowed his hand to Xiao Ze, "His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Xiao Ze's face was heavy, "You can't kill Ling Hua, what else can you do?" ”

Jiang Hao pondered, "Let the subordinate think about it." ”

Xiao Ze nodded.

He'll have to think about it himself.

After a while, Jiang Hao said, "Your Highness, you might as well sneak out of the palace and meet the son of the Wen family." ”

Xiao Ze looked at him, "Wen Xingzhi? ”

"Yes." Jiang Hao said, "Your Highness, you have been locked up in the East Palace behind closed doors, and you have been locked up for so long, the courtiers have been shaken, and now the Second Highness has been reused by His Majesty and went to Hengchuan County for disaster relief, the courtiers are very concerned about the Second Highness, and now you can no longer sit still, since the son of the Wen family has passed you the news of the accident in Hengchuan County, it means that he still wants to support you." ”

Xiao Ze gritted his teeth, "Wen Xingzhi is different from Wen Qiliang, in the past few years, he has controlled the most important lifeblood of the Wen family, and he has never supported the palace like Wen Qiliang. ”

"As long as His Highness is sincere and gives a generous promise, Wen Xingzhi will agree, now is a critical time, even if it doesn't work, His Highness will try." Jiang Hao persuaded, "Our people can't help Ling Hua, Wen Qiliang's people have been sent to deal with His Royal Highness, it's better to take this opportunity to do both, if Wen Xingzhi can make a move, why let Ling Hua continue to jump?" ”

Xiao Ze felt that it made sense and nodded, "You contact Wen Xingzhi and ask someone to pass a message to him, just say that the palace wants to see him, if he is unwilling to come to the East Palace, the palace will go out of the East Palace to the Wen Mansion to find him." ”

Jiang Hao bowed, "The ministers will go." ”

So, on the evening of the same day, Wen Xingzhi received a message from the East Palace.

He stood in front of the window, with an indifferent face, and asked the person who came to pass the message, "Reply to His Royal Highness the Prince, I won't help him kill Ling Hua, let him have this kung fu to see me, it is better to let His Majesty let him out of the East Palace as soon as possible, if he dares to come to see me secretly, I will hand a fold to His Majesty to expose him for not respecting the Holy Lord, and leaving the East Palace privately." ”

When he said this, he really didn't give any face.

The people of the East Palace gasped and exited the Wen Mansion.

The people from the East Palace returned to the East Palace and told Xiao Ze that they didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere and didn't dare to raise their heads. Although Wen Xingzhi and Wen Qiliang are father and son, the temperament and temperament of the two people are very different, Wen Qiliang is holding the prince everywhere, but the prince's order is obeyed, and Wen Xingzhi is not a little face should not be given to His Royal Highness the prince, even the prince wanted to see him, but he also pushed it and refused to see him.

Xiao Ze was angry and turned his back, "What a Wen Xingzhi, is he a member of the Wen family?" ”

He Lao Tzu helped him, and the entire Houliang knew that the Wen family was tied to his rope, but Wen Xing didn't look at him in his eyes, why should he? How capable is he of despising him so much?

Jiang Hao looked at Xiao Ze, who was angry and lost his coolness, and immediately said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is angry. ”

"How do you let Hongu calm his anger?" Xiao Ze was so angry that he couldn't wait to tear Wen Xingzhi, and people who didn't see him felt that he was so hateful.

Jiang Hao said calmly, "The son of the Wen family must have real talent and learning, so he will be so unsightly and arrogant, since he doesn't want to see His Highness, then let's do it, let's think of another idea!" ”

"Listen to what he said, he didn't just want to see me, he guessed that I wanted him to kill Ling Hua, but he didn't agree." Xiao Ze walked back and forth in the study, incredulous, "Why didn't she kill Ling Hua?" He is a member of the Wen family, what kind of friendship does he have with Ling Hua? ”

Jiang Hao hesitated for a moment and said, "It is said that half a month ago, the eldest son of the Wen family went to Yanyunfang for dinner, and happened to meet Miss Ling who was taking account in Yanyunfang. ”

Xiao Ze stared at Jiang Hao fiercely, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

How did he not know that there was such a thing?

Jiang Hao said, "It is said that the two seem to have broken up unhappily, and the subordinates were afraid that His Highness would be anxious and would not be able to sleep peacefully, so they hid it." ”

He paused for a moment, saw that Xiao Ze's face was extremely ugly, and added, "The little marquis also went to Yanyunfang for the banquet that day. ”

Xiao Ze was angry, "Wen Xingzhi actually sat at the same table with Ling Hua to eat?" Could it be that he took refuge in Ling Hua? ”

Jiang Hao shook his head, "It's not like that." ”

"What did they say?" Xiao Ze asked.

Jiang Hao shook his head, "Yanyunfang is Miss Ling's territory, I can't find out what I said specifically, but ......"

He looked at Xiao Ze, "Before the son of the Wen family met Miss Ling that day, the second miss of the Wen family also had a meal in Yanyunfang, I wonder if she had ever met with Miss Ling?" Perhaps, she could know something. ”

Xiao Ze's eyes lit up, Wen Xirou is the crown princess he wants to marry, in other words, his own person, is much more reliable than Wen Xingzhi, right? He immediately said, "You ask someone to contact Wen Xirou and ask her, what is Wen Xingzhi's plan?" ”

He used the same set of coaxing women to explain to the little eunuch who was waiting close to him, "You go to the private treasury of the palace to pick out some fine jewelry and let people send it to Miss Wen Er." ”

There is no woman who doesn't like jewelry.

The little eunuch should have been, and immediately went.

Jiang Hao also felt that it was feasible, so when the little eunuch picked out the best jewelry at once, he glanced at it and said, "The gift is heavy enough." ", so he sent Wen to Wen Xirou.
