Chapter 331: Source
When it was time to go home in the evening, Bai Xiaochen deliberately brought back a roast goose from the best restaurant, first asked people to walk back and forth a few times in front of the door with the roast goose cub Rong Ruofeng, and then stood not far away and waited quietly.
Sure enough, without letting Bai Xiaochen wait too long, he saw Rong Ruofeng, like a thief, quietly opening the door, first looking left and right, and then preparing to sneak out quietly to find the source of the fragrance.
"Princess, it's so late, dressed like this, where are you going?"
Bai Xiaochen's voice suddenly sounded, Rong Ruofeng immediately raised his head, and saw Bai Xiaochen looking at her with a wicked smile not far away.
Of course, Rong Ruofeng ignored the fragrant roast goose beside him.
"I didn't do anything, I just came out for a walk, what about the prince, it's so late, what are you doing here?" Rong Ruofeng smiled awkwardly, not revealing her goal, but her eyes had actually betrayed her a long time ago.
But Bai Xiaochen didn't expose it, so he pretended to agree and said: "So that's the case, okay, I still thought that I passed by a restaurant today and thought that the roast goose in it was good, and I wanted to bring it back for the princess to taste, but when I saw the princess like this, I shouldn't have any idea to taste it." ”
After speaking, he took the roast goose and prepared to leave, but how could Rong Ruofeng let him go.
"Hey, wait a minute, since you're here to deliver the roast goose, I'll leave this for you to leave. You've all come here and taken your stuff with you, what's going on? Isn't it? ”
He said complaining words, but his hand had already forcibly taken the roast goose.
Bai Xiaochen looked at Rong Ruofeng's appearance and didn't say anything, and after going back, the housekeeper was still puzzled, "Didn't the prince have something to find the princess just now, but how could he let the princess leave alone." ”
Bai Xiaochen didn't speak, he naturally had his plans.
The next night, Bai Xiaochen still came back with a roast goose, but when he was on the road, he was ambushed by a team of people.
As soon as Bai Xiaochen came out of the alley, he felt that something was wrong in the air, so his eyes signaled his subordinates to be careful, while slowing down and continuing to move forward.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for one or two people to rush out from the right and stab straight in the direction of Bai Xiaochen with swords.
His men also fought with the black-clad assassins.
But Bai Xiaochen quickly saw that the purpose of these people was him, because there were three people dealing with him at the same time, and he blocked the sword of his right foot after blocking his left foot, and he had to always watch out for the sword behind him.
At first, Bai Xiaochen still had the upper hand steadily, but gradually he was a little physically exhausted, after all, he was one against three. Just when he was not paying attention, one of the black-clothed assassins saw the opportunity and stabbed Bai Xiaochen in the chest.
As soon as the tip of the sword touched his clothes, Bai Xiaochen hurriedly blocked it with his sword.
In the end, a man who did not know martial arts ran back to the palace and called someone, and the man in black left.
Looking at the backs of several men in black running away, as well as a sword that had just fallen, he knew who did it.
"Can't you breathe so soon?" Bai Xiaochen sneered, looked back at the roast goose that was already dirty on the ground, and a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.
When he returned to the house, because the roast goose had been destroyed on the road, Bai Xiaochen did not go to Rong Ruofeng's room to find her.
The next day, after Chu Kuo, he came to Bai Xiaochen's room in a hurry.
"Are you alright?" After looking at Bai Xiaochen up and down, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong, he said, "Do you know who did it?" ”
Bai Xiaochen took a sip of tea.
"I know, I knew it yesterday, it's such a little trick, and he still wants to play it in front of me, but he still lights the fire."
As soon as Chu Kuo heard this, he knew who had done the assassination.
That's right, it was the second prince Bai Jingxuan who did it, after that night, he came up with such a method, only assassination can be carried out, usually Bai Xiaochen is in the barracks, or in the palace, only he can do it on the way home, this is also the situation that Bai Jingxuan sent someone to observe for a long time before he learned about it.
"Waste, a bunch of waste." Bai Jingxuan threw out everything that could be thrown in front of him, not only failed the mission, but also left the sword there, I don't know what this group of people are raising for food.
There were a few people kneeling below, no one dared to speak, and they were all carrying the anger from Bai Jingxuan.
After throwing away the things in front of Bai Jingxuan, he calmed down for a long time, then looked at one of them and said, "Tell me, what was the situation that day, why did it fail, didn't he bring a few people, how could you fail." ”
The person who was called said: "He really didn't bring a few people that night, but we were only concerned about killing him at that time, and we didn't notice that he went back to the house with a small servant, and he was already physically exhausted, but there were too many guards in the palace, and we were outnumbered and retreated, and it was at this time that the saber was accidentally dropped." ”
Then he knelt down and stepped forward, clasping his hands into fists.
"Please give us another chance, we've already killed him this time, and we won't make another mistake."
But Bai Jingxuan did not agree.
"A bunch of rubbish, you have already alarmed him, and you still want to assassinate him, do you think he is a fool, stand there and let you kill twice."
Bai Jingxuan's anger was all concentrated on one person, and the people behind saw that this person's body trembled slightly. But none of them dared to come forward and persuade them.
The failure of the operation should have committed suicide to apologize, but these people were a few people who were quite good in Bai Jingxuan's hands, and they thought that they would succeed, but where did they think that this would be the case, for a while, Bai Jingxuan looked at a few people and didn't know how to deal with it.
"You guys stay well, recharge your energy, and I'll let you know when I'm done thinking about it. A bunch of useless waste. ”
After speaking, Bai Jingxuan left, and the remaining few people looked at each other.
Bai Jingxuan went to the palace to see the queen at this time and told the queen all the situation. After the queen listened, she also scolded Bai Jingxuan first, and then said: "If you want to assassinate him, why don't you tell me the time, I also have a few people in my hands who can be used, those people of yours, you are so sure, you are afraid that you have forgotten, he Bai Xiaochen is the one who leads the troops to fight, he is very vigilant, what do you think your people can do." It's okay now, it's time to startle the snake, after that, what to do, you say! ”
Bai Jingxuan didn't dare to refute the queen's words, so he could only accept it quietly. Chu Kuo hurried back to deliver the news, he didn't tire him half to death, if it weren't for the fact that he was a brother to Bai Xiaochen, he wouldn't have done it. Chu Kuo said in a panic, Rong Ruofeng didn't hear it too clearly, this state lasted for half an hour, and Rong Ruofeng was also anxious when he listened. It's not because I'm worried that something will happen to Bai Xiaochen, but I'm thinking about some other bad situations.
