Ninety-eight Weigh the consequences
It turned out that after Hongyu patrolled the town, when he went to Runshengtang to pick up Qingyu, he heard that the shopkeeper Qin said that when she was taken to the post house in Fuyang City, he first asked people to go home and send a letter to Zheng, saying that Qingyu was on a medical visit and would not come back at night, so he went to the city to pick her up and let Zheng rest assured.
He himself turned over and borrowed a fast horse from Yang An, and rushed all the way to Fuyang City, just when he found a team of people and horses sneakily hiding there by the dense forest on the outskirts of the city.
He grabbed a "tongue" and asked these people to attack the city, and when the time came, the inside and the outside should cooperate and take Fuyang City.
But it's an ordinary soldier, and I don't know if I ask again.
Without the slightest pause, he immediately sent someone to Tiger Mountain to move the rescue troops. Anyway, in his impression, there are people in Tiger Mountain nearby. As for whether Bai Xu will come or not, it is not within the scope of his consideration at all, because in his subconscious, Bai Xu will definitely come.
God knows why he has such self-confidence!
Lu Qingyu raised his face curiously to look at him, and asked with a smile, "How do you know that the little white face will definitely come?" β
"He's not in vain," at this time, he didn't forget to correct Lu Qingyu's question, and continued with a calm face, "He will definitely come." β
Seeing that Lu Qingyu was stunned, he continued, "He is a person who will repay his kindness!" β
Well, this can also be seen?
He didn't seem to see Bai Xu much more than her, how could he dare to make such a conclusion?
The words "how can you save me if he doesn't come" was swallowed by her, and there was no point in asking this question for such a confident man.
It was dawn, and after a night of fierce fighting, Fuyang City was back to life.
The soldiers methodically carried the dead bodies to the ground, cleaned the gates, and reopened the city.
Xiao Heng also washed off the blood on his face, took off his armor, and changed into a royal blue brocade robe, and the jade tree stood on the city wall in the wind, looking into the distance.
How did it happen that all the defeated enemy troops had withdrawn without a trace, and there was not a single living mouth in the city?
The envoys of the Northern Qi Dynasty had also come to their senses at this time, and when they heard the chaos last night, they were stunned, and they assured Xiao Heng at that time that the Northern Qi would never show troops at the border.
Besides, if there is really Chen Bing between the two countries, it is impossible to hide it from the soldiers and horse spies of Nanliang?
Xiao Heng was silent, he only felt that last night's siege was like a dream, if it weren't for the dead bodies everywhere under the city, the blood and water in the place, and the strong smell of blood in the air, he really couldn't believe that he came over like this last night.
Who has the ability to hide from his guards and raid in the middle of the night?
Did Chu Yunlang get involved in this matter? When he was defending the city on the city wall and killing the enemy, he worked so hard that he couldn't come down like that, and he saved him once.
Doesn't it have anything to do with it?
These questions had been swirling in his mind, and they were still messy. He simply blew the wind for a while and came down to find Lu Qingyu.
What is the festival between her and Chu Yunlang? is good, how can these two people who are only one side of the relationship have a holiday?
Seeing Xiao Heng coming over in a dashing manner, Lu Qingyu stood up straight from Hong Yu's arms and looked at him.
"Your Highness......" When he approached, the two of them saluted.
Xiao Heng raised his hand and waved, straight to the point, "Last night, why did you treat Chu Yunlang like that?" β
Referring to the thing that scraped him.
Lu Qingyu smiled, "Compared to him, this is very light." β
So she told her about the fact that she was almost killed by the post guard in the post house last night, and then she was taken to the city wall by Chu Yunlang as a live target.
"And these things?" Hongyu's fists creaked, but he gritted his teeth and said nothing.
Xiao Heng's brows furrowed, and he pondered for a while before he said, "This palace understands." β
He thought of someone, someone he didn't want to mention.
It's just that there is no evidence yet that it was her people who besieged the city.
Besides, she is a woman, where did she come from so many people?
Xiao Heng fell into deep thought, but was awakened by Lu Qingyu's words, "Your Highness, in order to inspire the people in the city to fight, my more than 20,000 taels of silver are gone-"
Is this a debt to him?
Xiao Heng smiled slightly, although he didn't expect who was behind the scenes, which made him feel a little depressed, he could think of the little girl who ran forward and backward before, so greedy for money A person who sprinkled all the silver tickets, and it was fake that he was not moved in his heart.
So he looked at Lu Qingyu with a smile, "Don't worry, your silver will be returned to you by this palace." β
Lu Qingyu's eyes lit up, "Really? β
"Of course, when did Hongu lie to you?" Xiao Heng was questioned by others for the first time, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth was even greater.
"Then write a note!" It's that I haven't been deceived by him, it's just that I don't have a chance. This is 20,000 taels, Lu Qingyu is still apprehensive.
Xiao Heng: ...... He had never met such a calculating woman!
Ji Xiang saw that the prince's face was gradually turning blue, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly stepped forward to stop Lu Qingyu, "Bold, this is His Royal Highness the Prince, how dare you question it?" β
Lu Qingyu always thought that he was a prince, but he didn't expect that the person in front of him was even higher than the prince's level, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
Ji Xiang thought that he had frightened her, and glanced at Xiao Heng flatteringly, but was glared at by him, "Go out of here!" β
He had no choice but to retreat, but he heard Xiao Heng laugh with Lu Qingyu with kind words, "The slave didn't train well, so you can laugh." β
His eyes were about to pop out, was this still his unstoppable, arrogant, and domineering His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who didn't care about anything?
Lu Qingyu disagreed, "Forget it, each is his master." He's defending you, too. β
But I know a little in my heart, last night's siege was really a big deal, if this really kills the prince of Southern Liang, can Southern Liang and Northern Qi still give up?
In this case, who will reap the benefits of the fisherman?
The answer was imminent, but everything was too obvious and smooth, and she thought it was impossible.
Thinking about it, Xiao Heng also thought of this, so he didn't attack Chu Yunlang, right?
Hongyu saw that her face was not very good, so he took her hand and walked into the city.
"Find a place to rest?" He looked at her distressedly, and the guilt in his heart became more and more overwhelming.
She was supposed to be the one who was protected by others, but she was involved in these conspiracies and almost took her life.
At this moment, he couldn't help but think, how could he not be the supreme person? Only then can she be protected for the rest of her life, right?
Although it was a pity to leave the Holy Witch Clan, he did not regret it. Without the Holy Witch, he can still have his own team!
Xiao Heng followed up and proposed, "Let's go to the inn and rest." The palace has already asked people to mobilize guards outside the city, and what happened last night will never happen! β
Lu Qingyu nodded, she was frightened and frightened all night, and she was really tired.
It's just that she is still thinking about the post man who died in the house last night, and for some reason, she subconsciously feels that that person is not like an ordinary post man, maybe it has something to do with the siege of the city last night.
In extraordinary times, you can't miss any clues.
So the group went to the post house.
The envoys of the Northern Qi Dynasty were transferred to other places to be settled, and a large courtyard was vacated, and Lu Qingyu, Hongyu and Bai Xu and his party were temporarily resting in it.
Xiao Heng and Chu Yunlang went to the courtyard of the Western Chu envoy.
After the group was settled, Lu Qingyu quietly told Hongyu his thoughts, "...... Although that man knew that I had money, he was so blatantly trying to kill people and kill people, I am afraid that he was not an ordinary pawn. β
"Let's go check it out later." Hongyu hugged her and lay on the bed, closed her eyes and recuperated, "Now sleep for a while, don't worry." β
Lu Qingyu was naturally in a hurry, she was just a little doctor, how could she be qualified to mix these things.
They slept until three o'clock in the morning, and then they woke up.
Someone in the post house had already sent food to eat, and the hungry people didn't pick it at all, Lu Qingyu was holding the bowl and eating it violently, which made Hongyu feel distressed.
Breakfast was nothing more than porridge, steamed buns, and side dishes, and they ate them with relish.
After eating, people had spirits, and Lu Qingyu dragged Hongyu to the courtyard where the Northern Qi envoy lived next door, found the house, and went in to see that the dead post guard had long since disappeared.
It looks like someone has dragged him away.
Lu Qingyu hurried to find Xiao Heng again, and sure enough, Xiao Heng sent someone to drag him away.
"After hearing what you said about the situation at that time, this palace ordered someone to drag him out and let them recognize him." Xiao Heng pointed to a few people in front of him who bent down and bowed extremely respectfully.
Lu Qingyu recognized these people as from the post house, but they all nodded, "This is Luo Da, he only came here a few years ago, he has the strength, and he has done all the rough work in the post house." β
In this way, the deceased Luo Da is a proper pawn, so is there any connection with the behind-the-scenes command of the siege last night?
Xiao Heng was tried in front of Chu Yunlang, wasn't he afraid of leaking the news?
Lu Qingyu frowned, I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in Xiao Heng's gourd!
Hong Yu suddenly stepped out of her side, squatted in front of Luo Da, and grabbed his hand.
Xiao Heng leaned up and looked at him puzzled, "What's wrong with your hand?" β
Bai Xu shook the folding fan and stood on tiptoe and tried to straighten his neck, like a duck that had been lifted by someone, and he felt a sense of joy inexplicably.
"Hey, stuffy gourd, what do you see?" He tapped Hongyu on the back with the handle of the fan and asked casually.
Lu Qingyu was stunned, when did this guy become so familiar with Hongyu? It's still stuffy, but it's quite - suitable.
Hongyu ignored him and straightened up, Lu Qingyu hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands.
"He has calluses on his palms and tiger mouth, and he makes knives and hard kung fu."
Listening to his unhurried analysis, Lu Qingyu admired it very much, this guy really has two strokes.
"Can you tell where his kung fu comes from?" Xiao Heng looked at Hongyu appreciatively and nodded.
"There are many hard kung fu schools, there are Shaolin and Wudang, but this person is not like ......" Hongyu is not from a famous family, his kung fu is very high, but the number of roads is very weird, all of them are one-trick kung fu!
Therefore, he naturally couldn't tell what kind of sect this person was.
When Bai Xu heard him say this, he was interested, pulled him away, squeezed forward, and watched for a long time.
Xiao Heng raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "What did the big boss Bai see?" β
Bai Xu glared at him dissatisfied, "Call me Bai Gongzi, the master of Bai sounds like a mountain king." β
"Poof", Lu Qingyu couldn't help laughing, isn't he just a bandit? Still don't want to be the king of the mountain?
Xiao Heng didn't care about him, thanks to him last night, otherwise it was still uncertain whether he would be able to stand here and talk to him at this time.
"Bai Gongzi," he said, "dare to ask what you see?" β
Bai Xu raised his chin with satisfaction, and then shook his head, "I can't see it." β
There was another "poof", but it came from Chu Yunlang's mouth.
Not surprisingly, he also received a roll of Bai Xu's eyes.
The clue seemed to be broken, but Lu Qingyu was unwilling. She squatted down again and carefully examined Luo Da's body.
She opened his eyelids and looked at him for a long time, although the person was dead and the pulse could not be diagnosed, but there was still something in the eye.
At this moment, the pupils of Luo Da's eyes have dilated, and he has been dead for a long time, but his eyes are full of red bloodshots, and almost all of his white eyes are red, obviously there are some symptoms of madness before his death.
She couldn't help but think of Hongyu's eyes changing color and red on the night of the full moon before, like a fierce beast.
"Could this person be controlled by some kind of drug? Or did he take some benefits? She guessed that as soon as the words fell, Xiao Heng had already ordered someone to investigate.
Not long after, Xiao Heng's people came back, holding a small wooden box in their hands, and half a black pill was placed in it.
Xiao Heng handed it to her, "Look at it, is it poison?" β
Lu Qingyu pinched it, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it lightly, shaking his head for a long time, "It's not a poison, it's an antidote." β
In this way, this Luo Da is really under control.
Who is this person?
She thought of Yu Ziyuan, this woman can use poison to control the dead, is there no one else besides her?
What did she say, she is also the prince's fiancΓ©e, the future crown princess, if nothing else, will be the mother of the world in the future, why should she attack the prince?
Before, she mixed pure yang blood into Xiao Heng's medicine, which made his body restless, and the night royal beauty was famous, didn't she please him?
If Xiao Heng died in the chaos of the city slope last night, who else could Yu Ziyuan marry with such an identity?
Did Prime Minister Yu instruct this?
Did Prime Minister Yu betray Nanliang?
He is already above 10,000 people under one person, why should he betray Nanliang?
But in an instant, Lu Qingyu's mind was full of questions, but she couldn't talk about these problems.
Whether it is Xiao Heng or Chu Yunlang in the house, which identity is more than noble, it is not her turn to speak.
Xiao Heng's face changed a few times, and he suddenly said in a deep voice, "Hang Luo Da's corpse on the city wall to show the public!" Throw it into a mass grave three days later to feed the dogs! β
Xiao Wei immediately agreed and carried Luo Da's body out.
Lu Qingyu glanced at Xiao Heng with some surprise, although this person is the prince of Nanliang, he doesn't look like a superior to them on weekdays, but at this moment, he is like a hell Shura, and even his voice is eerie and terrifying, which makes people shudder.
Or is he always like this, just using them, which is why he behaves so approachable?
She quietly looked at Chu Yunlang and saw that his expression was calm, as if he hadn't heard this.
And Hongyu also stood still and turned a deaf ear.
Where did Lu Qingyu know what he really thought at this time, just like that, he still felt that Xiao Heng was too merciful, and according to him, he had to dismantle Luo Da's body in eight pieces and fry it in the oil pan!
If you dare to touch him, you must also weigh the consequences!
