Chapter 384: Leaving Hanshan
Qu Yang's problem was finally solved, and everyone's hearts were like a big stone had been unloaded, and Li Ye was even more happy in his heart, after all, he didn't have a talisman in hand, and he dared to make a mistake in front of Lin Yingxue after seeing Qu Yang!
"Now as long as the king returns safely, then everything will be complete." Li Ye couldn't help but sigh at the wine table.
"Hey, our queen is so powerful, what's the matter if the king doesn't come back!" Sun Dahu, who was munching on pig's trotters on the side, heard this, and jumped out of this sentence without thinking.
However, as soon as these words came out, they aroused everyone's eyes, Yu Lao Er and Li Ye acted at the same time, and one of them picked up an elbow and stuffed it into Sun Dahu's mouth, "Eating can't stop your broken mouth!" ”
Seeing that everyone reacted violently, Sun Dahu was shocked to realize that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly ate with his head bored, and didn't dare to say anything more casually.
But in the end, the speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional.
Today's meal was originally specially set up to celebrate the solution of Quyang's big trouble, but now Lin Yingxue only drank a bitter taste.
"Queen......
Li Ye was about to say something to ease the atmosphere, but at this time, Xia Zhu hurriedly walked in from outside the courtyard.
"Queen, there are two people out there who want to see you." Xia Zhu was childish, but his demeanor was very steady.
"Who?" Lin Yingxue put down the chopsticks in her hand and looked at Xia Zhu.
These days, she has helped take care of all kinds of affairs, and she is really about to take Murong Jun's place as Sun Dahu said.
"Back to the queen, both of them are raw faces, and the slaves and maids don't know each other." Xia Zhu said this, thought about it and added: "One of them is a child dressed as a beggar, and the other is a guard of the palace, and he is covered in injuries, and it doesn't seem to be in a good situation." ”
"Really?" Lin Yingxue's eyebrows, which looked like a distant mountain, unconsciously tightened up, "Let's bring people in first." ”
"Yes." Xia Zhu answered, and quickly retreated to take people away.
Several people at the dinner table already had their own concerns, and now that they heard this report, except for Sun Dahu, who had no heart and lungs, they all put down the chopsticks in their hands and turned their heads to look into the courtyard.
It didn't take long for Xia Zhu to bring the two up.
"Greetings to the Queen." The two men who came in saluted respectfully.
"No need to be polite." The injured guard Lin Yingxue naturally knew him, but as for the little beggar Lin Yingxue, he had never seen it.
"Didn't I arrange for you to escort Brother Feng back to the Imperial City? Why are you here when you come back, but what happened to Brother Feng's side? Lin Yingxue didn't bother to ask about the identity of the little beggar, so she asked hurriedly.
"Back to the queen, the little one did follow the queen's instructions and carefully escorted the eldest prince Murong back to the imperial city all the way, but before we approached the imperial city, our whereabouts were exposed......"
The injured guard was obviously not very optimistic about his own situation, and when he said these words, he suddenly felt a little angry, and couldn't help but stop and slow down before he continued to speak.
"The little ones kept in mind the queen's instructions and fought to protect them all the way, but the people sent by the other party not only chased after them, but also wave after wave, the little ones were really not their opponents, and in the end, Murong Dagongzi was still caught by the other party......"
"The subordinates are incompetent, please punish the queen!" The guard knelt down with a 'plop' when he said this, and his expression was very self-reproachful.
"It doesn't have to be that way, you've done your best." Lin Yingxue hurriedly stepped forward and personally helped the person up, "How is the situation of that big brother now?" She asked, a look of anxiety on her face.
"Grand Prince Murong should still be safe now......" The guard was busy answering something, but looking at the people in the courtyard, he stopped talking stiffly.
Lin Yingxue knew that what the guards were going to say next might not be known to outsiders, so she had to press the anxiety in her heart first, and turned her gaze to the little beggar on the side, "What are you asking to see today?" ”
"Go back to the nobleman," Seeing that Lin Yingxue finally asked him, the little beggar hurriedly replied in fear: "Someone gave the little one some silver, and told the little one to hand over a letter to the nobleman himself." ”
As he spoke, the little beggar hurriedly took out an envelope from his bosom.
The envelope was flat and clean, a little out of place compared to the beggar's outfit, but it was also evident that the little beggar had kept the letter with care.
"Oh?" Lin Yingxue took the envelope in the little beggar's hand with doubts.
"Give me a tip and take someone down." Lin Yingxue opened the envelope in her hand while sending unrelated people to wait.
"Come with me." The people in Lin Yingxue's courtyard were all clever, and almost as soon as Lin Yingxue's words fell, a few people disappeared.
Soon there were only a few henchmen left in the courtyard, Lin Yingxue had no scruples, and she had already taken out the letter paper and unfolded it in three or two clicks-
I'll be fine soon.
There were only a few words on the huge piece of letterhead, and the others were confused, only Lin Yingxue unconsciously showed a happy smile on her face.
After reading the letter, Lin Yingxue took the letter paper and rummaged around, and sure enough, she saw a small snowflake drawn in an inconspicuous place behind the letter.
"Sure enough!" Lin Yingxue couldn't help but let out excited.
However, the others were confused when they saw this, "Queen, what is this letter?" ”
Seeing Lin Yingxue's appearance so excited, everyone actually had a vague guess in their hearts, but they didn't dare to confirm it.
"It's him!" As if to affirm the conjecture in everyone's hearts, Lin Yingxue nodded vigorously, "I have a secret code with Junlang, if he writes a letter, he will attach a small snowflake at the end of the letter, so that I can know the truth of the letter." ”
"That's great!" Hearing the news, the first to be happy was Sun Dahu, "The king is coming back, then our general will come back soon, I haven't been tossed by the general these days, I'm still a little unused to it!" ”
As soon as Sun Dahu's words came out, Qi brushed two knife-like eyes fell on Sun Dahu - after all, not everyone is willing to endure Wang Jinyun's reputation as 'training' like Sun Dahu, a fool, but in fact, it is inhuman torture that kills people.
Sun Dahu was embarrassed by Li Ye and the others, and hurriedly leaned back.
And after Lin Yingxue learned that Murong Jun was not only safe, but also would be back in a few days, her mood was finally a little better, but she did not forget that there were still things waiting for her to solve in front of her.
"You go on to talk about Brother Feng." Lin Yingxue put the letter away and turned her gaze to the guard again.
"Yes...... Ahem...... "The guard seemed to have suffered internal injuries, and he covered his mouth and coughed twice before continuing: "The people who protected Murong Dagongzi with the little one have all been killed, and they left the little one alive just to let the little one come back and report the news-"
"There are people waiting at the gate of the city to take the queen to leave Hanshan and go to the imperial city, if the queen does not go out alone to meet those people before this evening, they will send the news back to ask for the life of the eldest prince Murong!"
"What?!"
As soon as the guards said this, Li Ye and Yu Lao Er's eyes widened in surprise on the spot, "This matter must not be!" ”
Li Ye saw that Lin Yingxue's expression was wrong, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade: "Those people are clearly aimed at the queen, if the queen fulfills the wishes of those people and goes alone, the situation will definitely be extremely dangerous!" ”
"I think it's better for my subordinates to take people out first to solve the few people guarding near the city gate, and then send someone to rescue Murong Prince."
Li Ye thought that this was the best way at the moment, but Lin Yingxue shook his head after hearing it, "Meng Yi has always been thoughtful, I'm afraid that these people won't send any news back by then, and Meng Yi's side will also kill people." ”
"I can't gamble with Big Brother Feng's life."
What's more, Murong Feng is an extremely important person to Murong Jun and Fang Mengru, the two of them handed over the person to her, but in the end, she did not protect the person.
So where will she have the face to face these two people again in the future?
"But the queen's departure is really dangerous, and when the king comes back one day, how should I explain to the king?" Li Ye said as he spoke, as if he had thought of what would happen to Murong Jun when he came back and learned about it...... He shuddered unconsciously, and there was a rare look of fear on his face.
"Don't worry, the reason why Meng Yi has Brother Feng is not enough, and he still wants to arrest me to go to the imperial city, it is only because he is now embattled and urgently needs someone who can contain Ah Jun."
"So until he and Ah Jun reach certain conditions, I will be fine." Under such circumstances, Lin Yingxue was still calm and abnormal, and she also explored Meng Yi's psychology clearly.
In terms of eloquence, Li Ye has never been Lin Yingxue's opponent, not to mention that he has been under Lin Yingxue for so long, and he is extremely aware of their stubborn nature as a queen-
As long as Lin Yingxue finalizes the matter, not only nine cows, but also ninety-nine cows will not be able to pull it back!
"That subordinate arranged for a few people with strong martial arts to follow secretly, just in case." This is Li Ye's final bottom line.
"Hmm." Lin Yingxue finally didn't refuse again.
Due to the urgency of time, seeing that it was already half of the afternoon and it was about to get dark, Lin Yingxue could only hurriedly explain the matter, and hurriedly packed some luggage and hurried out of the city.
"Miss Lin, right?" As if to confirm whether Lin Yingxue had brought someone out, Lin Yingxue stood at the city gate for a while before someone came over to talk to her.
Lin Yingxue turned her head to look at the man, only to see that the man's face was indifferent, and he almost didn't write the words 'don't approach the living' on his face.
"Yes." Lin Yingxue replied lightly, also expressionless.
No wonder the rumors say that this woman is not easy to deal with, if it were an ordinary woman, I am afraid that I would have been so frightened that I couldn't even say anything when I encountered this kind of thing, but the woman in front of him was not only calm and abnormal, but also always gave him a feeling of ease...... It felt as if the woman in front of me didn't take them seriously at all.
It must have been just his delusion, right?
"Come with me." The man gathered his thoughts, stepped forward half a step forward and led the way.
There was also a man who did not speak, and he also walked beside Lin Yingxue, following step by step.
Lin Yingxue followed the two men away, and secretly put her hands behind her and made a gesture-
Don't come out, they still have people.
