Chapter Eighty-Nine: Plum Dart
The night market is as lively as ever, but there are many people who are not paying attention to it.
Wen Zhiyu sat in the window seat on the second floor of the restaurant, he seemed to be leisurely drinking tea, but in fact he was paying close attention to every move in the night market.
Su Jingxuan sat opposite Wen Zhixuan, and there was already a bit of anxiety between his eyebrows: "Prince, if we wait like this, will we gain nothing?" ”
"Uncle, this kind of thing can't be rushed." Wen Zhiyu put down the teacup, "This tea is good, uncle try it." ”
"This is about your marriage, how can I, as an uncle, not be in a hurry?"
"Uncle thinks I'm not in a hurry?" Wen Zhiyu glanced out the window, "I'm more anxious than anyone else now, but someone should be more anxious than me." ”
"What do you mean?"
"I've not gained nothing in the past few days, at least I found out that the Dongxia soldiers were attacked, and it wasn't an accident. You say, the people who planned this scene are not in a more anxious way than us. ”
"Prince, if it is really as you said, this matter was deliberately done by someone, then as long as he doesn't make any more moves, won't your marriage be held as scheduled?"
"It's not enough, the words that Fan Ninghuai said in the imperial study at that time can't be counted at all, so if you want to really make the wedding can't be held, you must make it impossible for the father to make excuses, so that person will definitely make a move."
"When you say this, isn't this matter done by Fan Ninghuai himself? Why did he do it? ”
"I'm also curious, why did he take such a big risk and do such a harmful thing?"
While speaking, Han Feng walked up to the second floor and reported to Wen Zhiyu: "Your Highness, my subordinates have seen that several soldiers in Dongxia have left Honglu Temple, and they are about to arrive at the night market. ”
Wen Zhiyu nodded: "Let everyone else get ready." ”
"Yes." As soon as the cold wind left, Su Jingxuan asked, "When did you send someone to watch Honglu Temple?" ”
"From the first day my father asked me to investigate this matter."
"So you didn't believe Fan Ninghuai from the beginning?"
"Be prepared."
Wen Zhixuan only replied to these four words, but Su Jingxuan was secretly shocked in his heart, he looked at the young man in front of him, and he really didn't dare to imagine when he was a child.
His sister Su Yu is already a rare smart person in the world, but unfortunately he still died in the palace, he only wants to protect his sister, the only son, but Wen Zhiyu in front of him seems to have long needed his protection. Maybe Wen Zhiyu is really different from his sister, he can live a long time in the palace.
Su Jingxuan was thinking about it when he suddenly heard a change in the night market.
Su Jingshuo looked out the window, the night market was already in chaos, the people had fled in all directions, a group of bandits didn't know where to come out to grab things everywhere, and in the crowd, there were a few people standing there, not fleeing, but shouting at the group of bandits: "You injured our people last time, and I won't let you go this time." ”
Obviously, these people are even the soldiers of Eastern Xia.
Su Jingxuan subconsciously wanted to jump out of the window to catch the bandits, but was held down by Wen Zhixuan: "Uncle, don't be impatient." ”
"There has never been such a big battle before, if something happens......"
"Uncle also knows that there was no such big movement before, so why is there such a big movement today?"
Su Jingxuan realized that he was impulsive: "What does the prince want to do?" ”
"Look first." Wen Zhiyu placed the sword on the table, and his hand did not leave the blade.
The group of robbers didn't expect to meet those people last time, and immediately ignored everything, and immediately rushed up to fight with them, obviously those Dongxia soldiers were not the opponents of these robbers, and they were quickly injured, and those robbers also grabbed things and prepared to run away.
"Stop them." Wen Zhiyu opened his mouth at this time, and the people hidden in the crowd immediately jumped out to stop the robbers, and the robbers saw another group of people appearing, and they were also red-eyed, and immediately pounced.
Wen Zhiyu picked up his sword, jumped from the window, and joined the battle. Seeing this, Su Jingxuan also rushed down, and with the addition of Wen Zhixuan and Su Jingxuan, those robbers quickly fell behind.
A robber who seemed to be more shrewd saw that Wen Zhiyu was the main force, he took advantage of Wen Zhixuan's unpreparedness and released a plum blossom dart at him, Su Jingxuan opened the plum blossom dart for Wen Zhixuan with sharp eyes, and then kicked the robber away.
The plum dart was deeply stuck in the wall from the other direction, and a man in a black cloak came out of the darkness, she pulled out the plum dart and looked at it carefully, and found that something was wrong, she looked back at the robbers, and the light also illuminated her face at this time, it was Lianzhi.
Those robbers also found themselves invincible, and the people led by them threw out two iron pills, which exploded in the air, and a large white mist dispersed, Su Jingxuan and Han Feng were worried that something would happen to Wen Zhiyu, so they hurriedly protected him and prevented him from continuing to chase.
When the white mist cleared a little, the robbers were gone.
At the same time, Lord Jingzhao Yin Cheng also rushed over with people, looking at his hurried appearance, he should have been woken up in the middle of the night, and hurriedly rushed to the night market with people.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, General Su, are you all right?" Lord Cheng asked, his face was frightened, there had never been such a big movement in the night market before, this time even he was alarmed in the middle of the night, I am afraid that until tomorrow morning, the news of the night market being robbed by robbers will spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.
Wen Zhiyu didn't expect that he had set up people all around, and he actually let these people run: "Check, these people can't disappear for no reason, every household in the night market must be checked." ”
Wen Zhiyu was really angry this time, the origin of these robbers is definitely not shallow, they can suddenly appear in the night market, and they can suddenly disappear, who are they instructed by?
Su Jingxuan also knew the seriousness of the matter, he looked at the seriously injured Dongxia soldiers, and hurriedly asked people to take them down for treatment.
Under Wen Zhiyu's order, a house-to-house search of the entire night market began.
Lianzhi followed the group of injured robbers in the dark passage, in fact, after seeing the plum blossom dart, she knew that these people were not simple. Sure enough, there is their stronghold in the night market, and there is a secret passage under the stronghold.
Just now, those white mist blocked Wen Zhiyu and the others, but they didn't stop Lianzhi, and Lianzhi followed these bandits in time.
However, Lianzhi also knew that if he continued like this, he would probably be discovered, and if he wanted to find out the truth of the matter, he would not be able to find anything by following him like this.
Thinking of this, Lian Zhi quietly followed, the secret passage was narrow, and the person walking in front couldn't notice the person behind him at all. Lianzhi directly knocked out the robber who walked at the end and dragged him away, she estimated that Wen Zhiyu would definitely investigate the night market thoroughly, and it was only a matter of time before she found this secret passage, and she could get some news from the robber's mouth at that time.
Lianzhi disguised himself a little, followed again, and walked at the back of the line. It can be seen that these robbers are very anxious, and they should not have expected the setback this time, so they accelerated the pace of their return trip.
After walking for a long time, she came to the exit of the dark passage, Lianzhi was the last to come out, and after she came out, she found that she had already left the city.
Rao is Lianzhi couldn't help but be shocked, what kind of people are these robbers, who can actually open a dark passage to the outside of the city in the night market? It's incredible!
The robbers didn't stop long, and went straight up the mountain, and Lianzhi followed them all the way, only to find that they had gathered on a hill not far from the city, and they had not been found for so long.
Along the way, there are indeed many levels, but it is a shame that Lianzhi came with them, otherwise it would not be easy to get in.
"Three masters, why didn't you bring anything back this time, and you were injured?" A little minion asked, and the three masters who had experienced the battle of the night market had a bad temper: "What about the second brother, I want to see him." ”
"The second master is waiting for you inside." Hearing what the little minion said, the three masters immediately brought people in. Lianzhi tried his best to weaken his sense of existence, so as not to let others find out, he followed the three masters into the lobby, and just stood silently in the corner.
Lianzhi glanced at his surroundings, it was a very empty cave, and the candles were placed on the shelves protruding from the mountain wall. It may be that the cave is darker, so there are more candles.
"Third child, what's wrong with you this time?"
"Those cubs set up an ambush in the night market, injured our brothers, and we almost didn't get back."
"Didn't anyone else find you when you came back?" The second master is obviously more shrewd, his eyes swept on the few people who followed behind the third master, and the third one suddenly sank because of the suspicion of the second master: "Second brother, what do you mean, can't you believe me?" ”
