Chapter 15: Sneak Attack
Cheng Yu has long been ready to be scolded in his heart, rainy days are a rare time for the master to rest, he likes to be in a daze, likes to stay alone, likes to look at the rain and fog outside the window alone, and sort out his thoughts, just like getting up in the morning, rainy days are the moment when Nanxuan can't be easily disturbed at night, except for the emperor's sudden finding, the princess can't be disturbed at will, but today, it's really the princess's father, today's prime minister is here, yesterday the princess went back crying, Today, the prime minister came to the door to vent his anger for the woman, this speed, this efficiency, is really fast!
"Your Highness, the Prime Minister has been waiting in the flower hall for a long time." Cheng Yu walked in front of Nan Xuanye and whispered.
"Let's go!" After Nan Xuanye finished speaking, he had already walked outside, and Cheng Yu, who was watching it, was stunned for a while, I don't know why today's prince was so refreshing, which made him a little overwhelmed in an instant.
"Uncle!" Prince Nan Xuanye first came to the front of Prime Minister Su Zhe, with a light smile on his face, and with a wave of his sleeves, he became the first place in the flower hall.
"The old minister worships His Royal Highness the Prince!" Prime Minister Su Zhe looked at the crown prince Nan Xuanye in front of him and got up to pay a visit.
"Uncle excuse me!" Nan Xuanye immediately walked down and personally helped Prime Minister Su Zhe up.
"I wonder if my uncle came here today for the princess's business?" Nan Xuanye narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the prime minister Su Zhe in front of him with a smile.
"The old minister is ashamed! The eldest daughter has no virtue, she has not come out for so many years, she did not give birth to a son and a half daughter for the prince, and now there is a thief who wants to kill other pregnant princes around the prince, this is really a shame for the Su family, and it is also a shame for the old minister, the old minister came to apologize to the prince today, it is the old minister's goddaughter who has no way, and please don't take it to heart His Royal Highness the prince, the little girl is also confused for a while, she already knows her mistake, but she still doesn't dare to come back, so the old minister specially let out an old face today, Come and apologize to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on behalf of my daughter! ”
"Uncle, you really make Xiao Wang and me ashamed! I really don't know what to do! This ability Xiao Wang and Yan'er has always had a heart disease, in the past four or five years, the palace has always expected Yan'er to give birth to a boy and a half girl for the palace, but too much time has passed, the palace has long lost patience, and now it is finally possible for other women to be pregnant, so, this time the palace is not chaotic how to want her to be born, uncle, you can rest assured, no matter whether she gives birth to a man or a woman, it will not infringe on Yan'er's interests! ”
"What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is true! You've been married for more than five years, and now it's cold in the house, it's time for a child to come and be lively! Therefore, the old minister has the courage to marry the second daughter Ruoyao to His Royal Highness the Prince, and give birth to the eldest son of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as soon as possible! ”
Nan Xuanye's eyes narrowed slightly, the ghostly light flickered continuously, the hands hidden in the sleeves clenched and loosened, and then clenched, and suddenly smiled: "Uncle, nephew has heard that cousin Ruoyao is in love with Liu Gongzi of a famous painting family in the capital, the two have been in love with each other for a long time, and they eloped once before, I heard that they were brought back by their uncle, I'm afraid this innocence is no longer there, your kindness, my nephew understands it, my nephew is ashamed, I really don't want to ruin Ruoyao's cousin's happiness, why don't you fulfill these two, how about it?" ”
The corners of Nan Xuanye's lips hooked slightly, looking at the Prime Minister Su Zhe's face in front of him became extremely ugly, the raindrops outside the window smashed on the ground, smashing out small puddles, and there were bursts of thunder in the air, and the lightning hit the room, reflecting Prime Minister Su Zhe's terrifying expression, his eyes were like copper bells, looking at the prince Nan Xuanye in front of him, his eyes exuded a cold light, which made people shudder!
"You investigated your cousin! Nephew, that's your fault! Although the little girl Ruoyao has some rumors, it is also a rumor, she ...... "Prime Minister Su Zhe's defense was not finished before he was stopped by the prince Nan Xuanye.
"Uncle! Do you want to invite Cousin Ruoyao and Liu Gongzi from the famous painting family in Beijing together, and let the two of them confront you together to see who is telling the truth, how about it? Prince Nanxuan's eyes flashed with a ghostly light, looking at the prime minister Su Zhe in front of him, and said unceremoniously.
"You! …… Attaboy! Attaboy! His Royal Highness the Prince! The old man said goodbye! Prime Minister Su Zhe flicked his sleeves fiercely, unceremoniously threw the door aside, and under the servant's umbrella, hurriedly walked into the rain curtain and walked towards the carriage outside the door.
When Prime Minister Su Zhe's carriage disappeared outside the door, Cheng Yu looked at the crown prince Nan Xuanye in front of him worriedly: "Your Highness, you rejected the Prime Minister like this, aren't you afraid that he will join you in front of the saint?" After all, the prime minister is your uncle, and he is the emperor's important minister, and the queen's brother, under heavy pressure, your current situation is not good, especially when the prime minister openly tears his face with you, which will be the biggest obstacle to your ascension in the future! ”
"This palace knows, so it is necessary to completely pull out the resistance before it is formed, do you still let the obstructive resistance shake in front of you all day long, annoying people?" Prince Nan Xuanye looked at the heavy rain in front of him and said in a cold voice.
"Go to Sakurayuki Palace!" Prince Nan Xuanye was about to leave the flower hall after speaking.
"Don't you go to the palace and make it clear to the queen in advance?" Cheng Yu asked.
"The emperor will come over in person, don't worry about it, hurry up and find the victims of the rebellion in northern Xinjiang, understand? Be quiet and don't attract anyone's attention! Nan Xuanye looked back at Cheng Yu in front of him.
"Yes!" Cheng Yu was about to turn around and leave, when suddenly Nan Xuanye came again.
"What about the information I want about the national teacher, how have you collected it?" Nan Xuanye looked at Cheng Yu in front of him who wanted to escape and asked.
"The subordinates are collecting, and they will be placed in front of you tomorrow!" Cheng Yu ran away after speaking.
When Nan Xuanye walked to the Yingxue Palace, he was stunned for a while before he entered the door, and when he walked into the courtyard to look, the corpses were already lying together on the ground, and he didn't hear a sound in the flower hall of Zhaoyang Palace!
"Turn the tiger away from the mountain!" Prime Minister Su Zhe actually took advantage of the moment when he and the crown prince Nan Xuanye were talking, and once again blatantly sent someone over to kill his woman!
"It's too much!" Nan Xuanye looked at the killer in the rain curtain in front of him, and released a bright smoke bomb into the air from his arms, and there was an explosion in the air, and Cheng Yu, who disappeared in an instant, and dozens of masters of the East Palace Ouchi rushed into Zhaoyang Palace and fought with dozens of masked killers in front of him.
Swords collided, sparks flew everywhere, splashing blood on the ground, one by one the people who were killed and lost their lives fell to the ground, Nan Xuanye walked through the entangled crowd and walked towards the depths of the Sakura Snow Palace, when he passed through the first floor, all the open rooms had killed maids lying on the ground, when he ascended the second floor room, he walked through the rooms, but he didn't see the person he wanted, and he suddenly remembered an ominous premonition in his heart.
When he reached the last room, he stole open the room with one foot. “
"Xia Yinbing!" Nan Xuanye walked into the bedroom where Xia Yinbing lived, looked at the wide open window next to him, and the red lings scattered on the ground, his expression cracked slightly, his hands pressed the tall vase next to him, and his right hand slapped on the vase fiercely, with a dull sound, the vase slammed, became a piece of powder, and fell to the ground.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Cheng Yu rushed in, his body was wet, looking at Nan Xuanye with a gloomy face in front of him, and the mess in the room, and said in a low voice: "Miss Xia Yinbing is gone?" ”
"Put on a team of people and let me go, everyone must be masked, snatch people back for me, if something happens, none of you will come back alive!" After Xiao Moran finished speaking, he quickly checked around Xia Yinbing's bedroom, and soon found clues in the room, there was a red powder on the ground, which spread from the ground to the windowsill, although it was not very obvious, but there were always some traces scattered on the ground.
Xiao Moran stretched out his index finger and wiped a little bit on the tip of his nose and sniffed it gently, this is a special smell of petals, it is the smell of flowers and plants that have grown in the Hundred Beast Garden where Xia Yinbing lives, he has inadvertently observed before, that kind of faint smell of flowers and plants In spring and summer, the taste will always drill into people's noses, which makes people feel refreshed.
Now, did she actually collect flower petals to make this tracking powder? He didn't know how many things this woman still had, her mind was so thoughtful, could she still be an ordinary woman?
Xiao Moran remembered this special pollen taste, and said to Cheng Yu beside him: "Go and lead the dog!" Let it smell pollen, quick! Nan Xuanye looked at Cheng Yu behind him and said.
"Yes!" Cheng Yu quickly went out to prepare.
Nan Xuanye's heart kept beating drums, he didn't know what he was nervous about, thinking of the child in Xia Yinbing's belly, he was inexplicably heartbroken, not long after the news spread, he was still robbed by Prime Minister Su Zhe, and now this situation is a hundred times more difficult than he thought!
When Nan Xuanye changed into a night clothes, the people around Cheng Yu finished solving the killer in the Yingxue Palace, but when Cheng Yu and the others followed the dog out in the dusk night, everyone, including Nan Xuanye, began to be surprised, and they were even more afraid.
The place where the big black dog took people was not Prime Minister Su Zhe's mansion, but another remote corner of the capital, and it was the wilderness of the capital, the place was getting more and more remote, Nan Xuanye's heart became more and more heavy, and countless thoughts flashed in his heart, the thing he was most afraid of was to encounter a corpse with two lives, and the ending of throwing corpses in the wilderness was the last thing he wanted to see!
He suddenly regretted that he chose to tear his face with Prime Minister Su Zhe today, the sky gradually entered the dusk, the rainy day was already dark, plus the dusk, the ground was muddy, it rained, the rain easily washed away the petal powder scattered on the ground, it was really a very bad factor, on a rainy day, how could he encounter so many things today! Everything crashed together!
"Your Highness, I see someone! Look! With Cheng Yu's low shout, Nan Xuanye quickly stopped thinking in his mind and looked at the crowd in the distance, where there was a shadow, no torches, no sound, only hurried footsteps.
"Rush up, live to see people, and die to ...... See the corpse! Nan Xuanye's voice trembled, paused for a moment, waved his hand and ordered, and the people behind him quickly rushed towards the depths of the woods in front of him.
The raindrops hit his face, the hat on Nan Xuanye's head made a snapping sound, he looked into the distance through the gauze hat, except for the black figure, everything was blurred, in order to distinguish himself, he ordered someone to change into a red night clothes, such a dazzling color, although there was a danger of exposure, but he couldn't care so much!
Nan Xuanye then rushed up, after Cheng Yu's palace, the two of them chased towards the crowd with the people who had just rushed out, at night, the barking of the dog quickly disrupted everything, and the black figures gathered together had no time to react, and had been surrounded by Nan Xuanye's people, Nan Xuanye walked towards the middle of the crowd, walked in, and he found that there was a deep pit in front of him! A candle was lit in the pit, and Xia Yinbing was thrown into the pit.
He didn't have time to think about anything more, he jumped in all at once!
"Your Highness!" Cheng Yu's voice came from behind him, but he still took a step, and Nan Xuanye in front of him had already jumped into the pit.
"Are you okay? What about children? Is there something wrong? Nan Xuanye touched Xia Yinbing's wet hair, and the soles of his feet were stepping on puddles, and the water had already overflowed his knees, and there was a tendency to spread upwards at any time.
"Woo!" Xia Yinbing's mouth was blocked by ropes, his hands were also tied, and there were people filling in the soil above their heads!
"I'll help you untie it!" Nan Xuanye took out the dagger from his arms, cut the rope on Xia Yinbing's hand, and took off the cloth plug on Xia Yinbing's mouth.
"There's a button here!" Xia Yinbing said excitedly, no matter how Nan Xuanye reacted on the other side, Xia Yinbing snatched the dagger in Nan Xuanye's hand, and soon began to dig up behind her, when the dagger dug to a certain thickness, the dagger made a piercing scraping sound, Nan Xuanye frowned slightly and covered her ears.
Nan Xuanye couldn't stand it, pulled out the saber on his waist, pulled away Xia Yinbing in front of him, brushed it on the wall in front of him dozens of times, the soil in front of him fell down with a bang, and gradually the saber made a crisp and piercing scraping sound, Xia Yinbing took out the fire fold from his arms, blew lightly, and shone towards the wall, revealing a stone wall, next to the stone wall is a stone door! There was a large iron lock hanging from it.
When Nan Xuanye was about to take the saber and cut up the iron cable, Xia Yinbing pulled away Nan Xuanye in front of him, pulled out the hairpin on his head, and gently stirred the iron rope on the stone wall.
When the stone door opened, the water under their feet began to flow in the direction of the stone gate, but because there were five or six steps in the stone gate, the water could only wash to the bottom of the steps, and the place where the fire folded was a box of gold, Nan Xuanye's eyes narrowed slightly, and when he went in with Xia Yinbing, Nan Xuanye didn't notice that Xia Yinbing secretly took out a red box from his arms and gently placed it on the top of these boxes.
"Look! What is it! There are so many big boxes here, only here is a small box! And it's the same style as these big boxes! Xia Yinbing was about to open it after speaking, but was snatched away by Nan Xuanye behind him, he carefully observed the box, the small style, but no matter how he tried, he didn't open it.
"Open!" Nan Xuanye was not polite, and directly stuffed the box back to Xia Yinbing.
Xia Yinbing glanced at Nan Xuanye, who was a little angry in front of him, and lowered his head with a hairpin to gently stir the box in front of him, but Xia Yinbing quickly threw the box out, and with a bang, the box fell to the ground, and more than a dozen flying needles shot out from it, and Nan Xuanye pulled Xia Yinbing behind him.
When the two waited until there was no more movement in the box, and slowly approached, Nan Xuanye saw that there were no other hidden weapons in the box, and then carefully opened the secret letter inside, Xia Yinbing immediately approached Nan Xuanye with the fire fold in his hand, but when Nan Xuanye looked down at the two seals on it, the hands holding the secret letter were shaking! His eyes slowly turned red, narrowed slightly, and put the secret letter in his arms before Xia Yinbing got closer.
"If you say a word, I'll kill you!" Nan Xuanye pinched Xia Yinbing's chin and warned.
"Do I see anything? Before I get close, you're putting it away! The little girl is really wronged! After Xia Yinbing finished speaking, he kept sneezing, holding his hands to his chest, Nan Xuanye stared at Xia Yinbing for a while, took off his robe and put it on for Xia Yinbing.
"Your Highness! Come on! It's almost time! Cheng Yu's panting voice came from the top of the pit, and there were a few dog barks.
Nan Xuanye looked up, and there was a black strap handed down from it.
"You go up first! Fast! This place will be restored to its original state in a moment! With Nan Xuanye's order, Xia Yinbing did not delay, and immediately grabbed the black ribbon and flexibly climbed up.
After Xia Yinbing went up, Nan Xuanye didn't come up for a long time, and let Cheng Yu go down, an hour of hard work, Xia Yinbing watched as the boxes in the stone room were smuggled up by Nan Xuanye and others, and successfully transported to the East Palace Prince's Mansion, she didn't watch the follow-up, nor did she ask, but she knew that a good show was about to be staged.
Before dawn, Nan Xuan didn't sleep all night, hurriedly entered the palace, I heard that he still pulled two carriages into the palace, as soon as the sky was bright, the old emperor sent people to quickly surround the Prime Minister's Mansion!
It's just that when the palace team entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion went to the empty building, and the Prime Minister ran away with people overnight!
The old emperor was angry and angry! Just when he was angry, he didn't expect that the prime minister who fled would lead people into the imperial city with 5,000 personal soldiers! Gave the old emperor a big start! He didn't have time to send reinforcements, so he brought people to his doorstep!
In fact, according to the source of soldiers, there are at least 10,000 people who stay in the capital, but there are only 3,000 people who stay in the imperial city, and they are all permanent Imperial Forest Army! The army is stationed on the outskirts of the capital!
"Your Majesty, it's not good! The prime minister led people to storm the city gates! He also sent someone to block the gate in and out of the capital! And, moreover, the Huns began to make trouble on the frontier again! And took away two states on the northern border! Now it's all messed up! "The Minister of War knelt on the ground crying and said in a panic."
