Chapter 141: Escape
Lin Youran knew that she was ordered by the emperor to go with the prince to pick up the queen mother back to Beijing this time, and she thought about whether she could save the queen mother and get a rescue work. Unfortunately, it seems that it is probably impossible now.
Lin Zhuohua looked at the closed carriage curtain, and suddenly the curtain was lifted and a long arrow shot in.
She immediately swung her sword and sent the arrow flying.
The carriage was cramped and not suitable for hands. The arrow was missed, and it was driven into the wall of the carriage on one side.
A man in black suddenly rushed in, and the long sword came straight towards the Queen Mother.
Lin Zhuohua stepped aside and faced the Queen Mother. A silver needle flew out of her other hand and shot into the body of the man in black. The kung fu of the man in black was not too high, and the poison on the silver needle had an immediate effect, and the man in black fell down before he could react.
Her eyes narrowed, and she quickly pulled the medicine bag out of her small pocket. Then the commander of the carriage sprinkled some of the medicine, and then gave the antidote to everyone in the carriage.
"Mama Yin takes care of the Queen Mother, I have arranged poison here, as long as they come in, they will be poisoned immediately. You've taken the antidote, and you'll be fine. ”
After saying that, she left the carriage with her long sword and stood outside the carriage, looking at the Imperial Forest Army, which had fallen a lot. His brow furrowed, and he flew forward.
There were a lot of people brought this time, and the queen mother's carriage was guarded in the middle. She snatched a horse and galloped forward.
The struggle in front was very fierce, and Li Zeyi and the prince were surrounded in the middle to protect them. But the long swords in the hands of the two were also stained with a lot of blood, she frowned, looking at the corpses of the people in black, but there were still people in black who kept appearing.
A trace of doubt rose in Lin Zhuohua's heart, what kind of person has such a big hand, this man in black seems to be playing as if he doesn't want money. With such a posture, these Royal Guards may not be able to hold on.
She flew over and arrived at Li Zeyi's side under the cover of the Imperial Forest Army.
When Li Zeyi saw her coming, his brows furrowed tightly: "Why are you here?" It's dangerous here, go back first, the Queen Mother still needs your protection. ”
Lin Zhuohua shook his head: "There is the Imperial Forest Army on the Queen Mother's side, I arranged poison on the carriage, this time the kung fu of the people in black is not too high, those poisons are enough, as long as they get on the carriage, it will be a dead end." ”
While the two were talking, an arrow came over, and Lin Zhuohua picked up a long sword to block it. Then he glanced sideways, and a look of solemnity flashed in his eyes. How can there be archers hiding in the shadows, it seems that the other party wants to leave their lives here.
"You go on, I'll go and deal with the archers in the shadows."
Who can stand this cold arrow, she was just about to leave when Li Zeyi pulled her: "I'll go with you." ”
The prince's face was a little ugly, and he looked at the hands of the two of them, and he didn't know why an irritability rose in his heart. But he also knew that it was most important to deal with these black-clothed talents at this time, so he spoke: "You two go, and leave it to Gu and the Royal Forest Army here." ”
Li Zeyi glanced at the crown prince, and without saying anything, he pulled Lin Zhuohua to dodge quickly. Although he can't use too much internal force, he can do light work.
His movements were fast, and with the Guards covering them, no one noticed when they left.
Under Li Zeyi's tutelage, Lin Zhuohua's light skills have improved rapidly. She didn't want Li Zeyi to follow, her spiritual power was already able to locate the archers in the shadows. Trying to solve them quietly is not a problem at all.
Now she can only follow Li Zeyi and touch the rear of those archers to deal with them.
Looking at Li Zeyi's posture of stabbing a child, Lin Zhuohua really admired him. She was able to determine the location of these archers because of her mental strength, but how quickly did he determine them.
After Li Zeyi finished solving an archer in the shadows, he turned around and saw his little girl looking at him with admiration. A smile flashed in his eyes, and then he spoke: "I've been secretly observing them for a long time, and if you don't come, I'm going to deal with the archers in the shadows first." ”
"Then are the two of us a little bit of a good idea?"
Lin Zhuohua blinked his eyes and looked at him with a smile.
Li Zeyi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded: "Count!" ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, then sped off towards their next target. The two quickly eliminated all the archers in the shadows, and then began to make their way towards the prince.
The archers in the shadows were dealt with, and the men in black here naturally discovered it. The black-clothed man at the head frowned slightly, looked at his own people who had fallen in large numbers, pondered for a while and then opened his mouth to give an order.
"Withdraw!"
The man in black received the order and immediately began to retreat.
When Lin Zhuohua and Li Zeyi came back, they saw that the man in black began to evacuate, her eyes narrowed slightly, and a silver needle flew out of her hand and shot into the body of a man in black.
The man in black immediately fell to the ground, and the other men in black retreated faster when they saw this, and did not rescue the man. It wasn't until the man in black left that their side breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Zhuohua walked in front of the person she shot just now, and then looked sideways at Li Zeyi: "This person is still alive, I just let him occupy the time and be unconscious." ”
Li Zeyi nodded when he heard this, and then asked the man in black to be tied up and carried away.
When the prince saw the movement on their side, he immediately came over and asked, "Is that a living mouth?" ”
"Yes."
"Hand over people to Lone." The prince's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he said in a commanding tone.
Li Zeyi will not be accustomed to the prince, and said coldly: "This person is the living mouth we left, naturally it will not be handed over to the prince, you have the ability to make a living mouth yourself." ”
"You ......"
Li Zeyi didn't bother to pay attention to the prince and let the wind take people away. Then he pulled Lin Zhuohua to the side and chose a horse, and then said, "Let's go, let's go see the imperial grandmother." ”
The two of them flew on their horses, and then galloped away at a fast pace towards the carriage behind.
There was nothing wrong with the Queen Mother's side, there was the poison left by Lin Zhuohua, and then there were fish caught in the net, but they were poisoned without hurting the Queen Mother.
Seeing them returning, the Queen Mother immediately stood up, lifted the curtain and went out.
"It's okay for you guys to be fine." The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief, she kept holding her breath, tensing her nerves. Now that she was relaxed, she collapsed.
"The Queen Mother!"
"Imperial Grandmother!"
Lin Zhuohua immediately jumped into the carriage and helped the Queen Mother in. Cleaned up the poison in the carriage, and then began to diagnose the pulse of the Queen Mother.
It was determined that the Queen Mother was not in much trouble, but it was just because of excessive mental consumption.
After everyone was sure that the Queen Mother was fine, they were relieved. It's just that they suffered a lot of casualties, so they could only find a clean place to set up camp, rest and recuperate before setting off.
The prince was very busy, sorting out the number of injured and dead people until midnight.
Lin Zhuohua knelt behind the Queen Mother and massaged her: "Does the Queen Mother feel better?" ”
The Queen Mother sighed when she heard this, and said, "It's good to have you by your side, otherwise I wouldn't know what happened." ”
Thinking of the black-clothed man who appeared this time, the Queen Mother's eyes sank: "This matter must be investigated, it is so rampant in the land of Dajing." ”
Although she didn't see what it was like outside, she could see that the Imperial Forest Army was more than half of the people who came to pick her up, which showed how powerful the man in black was this time.
Lin Zhuohua put down his hand, then poured a glass of water mixed with spiritual spring water and handed it to the Queen Mother.
"Queen Mother, as long as you take care of your body, the rest is enough for the crown prince and King Yi."
The Queen Mother took a sip of water, only felt that her body seemed to be much more comfortable, and nodded: "The mourning family knows that you are worried about the mourning family's body, don't worry, the mourning family will cherish it." ”
Seeing that the sky outside had already darkened, the Queen Mother spoke: "You should also go back to rest early, and you will continue to set off early tomorrow morning." ”
Lin Zhuohua nodded, and then after leaving the queen mother's tent, he sprinkled some insect repellent medicine around him. If you are close to the wilderness, it will be hot here, and there will be more insects and mosquitoes.
Because some tents are limited, she and Lin Youran were arranged in a tent. When she went back, Lin Youran had already laid down. She was lying on her side, with her back to her.
When she came back, there was no movement from the other party, and she thought she was probably asleep. Anyway, Lin Youran was afraid that it was the first time he encountered such a situation, and he should have been scared.
Lin Youran was indeed frightened, she lit incense in the tent before falling asleep.
Lin Zhuohua naturally smelled the fragrance in the air, she glanced at Lin You, and then folded her clothes and lay on the other side. I don't know if she was too tired, or if her incense had an effect, and soon she fell asleep too.
She slept very deeply this night, and Bai Yu came to wake her up in the morning. She got up in a daze, and after washing, she found that Lin Youran was no longer in the tent.
She sniffed it, and the scent in the air was gone. I didn't expect Lin Youran's incense to really have some effect, and it could make people sleep so peacefully.
Coming out of the tent, she saw Li Zeyi walking towards this side and stepped over to meet her.
"I'm afraid I'm going to have a bite of breakfast in the carriage, and we have to rush back to Beijing as soon as possible."
Li Zeyi stretched out his hand to straighten the broken hair on her forehead, and then said softly.
Lin Zhuohua nodded, then remembered the living mouth left yesterday, and asked, "How is the interrogation?" ”
Li Zeyi shook his head: "I didn't get anything useful, after all, the other party is just a small person who can be sacrificed at any time." ”
Lin Zhuohua thought about it, so he didn't say anything more. was about to go to his carriage, and was invited to the carriage of the Queen Mother by Mama Yin.
As soon as she got into the carriage, she saw that Lin Youran was already sitting there, and when she came up, she greeted her softly.
"My sister slept peacefully yesterday?"
Lin Zhuohua nodded: "Well, my sister's fragrance is really good." ”
After speaking, she no longer looked at Lin Youran, turned her head to say hello to the Queen Mother, and then sat down beside the Queen Mother. She was carrying a box in her hand, which contained the snacks that Li Zeyi bought for her. This box is something from the medicine house, which can prolong the freshness of the food, and of course it will not last too long.
She took out the snacks inside and placed them on the small table in the carriage: "The Queen Mother will eat some first." ”
The dim sum looks delicious, but it smells like milk. The Queen Mother didn't ask much, nodded and pinched one and ate it.
"You eat too, where are there so many rules outside now."
With the words of the Queen Mother, Lin Zhuohua and Lin Youran ate it.
After the incident of the man in black, the whole team moved forward a lot faster. After a few days of walking, he met with the team sent by the emperor, and the team to protect the queen mother grew again.
Fortunately, he didn't encounter any more attacks by the men in black until he returned to Kyoto, and he brought the Queen Mother back safely.
As soon as the team reached the palace gate, they saw the emperor personally waiting there with the concubines and princesses of the harem.
The queen mother got down from the carriage, and the emperor immediately greeted her and personally helped people get out of the carriage.
"The queen mother has worked hard all the way."
The emperor saw that the queen mother was fine, and he let go of the heart that he had been carrying.
The Queen Mother smiled lovingly when she heard this: "Let the emperor worry." ”
When the other concubines saw that the emperor and the queen mother had finished speaking, they all came up to salute.
Looking at the queen, the queen mother showed a light smile: "It's hard work queen, it's good that the harem is in charge of you." ”
"This is a matter for the daughter-in-law, the queen mother must be tired all the way, let's go back to the palace first."
The Queen Mother nodded, and then the emperor and queen walked into the palace gate with one left and one right.
Lin Zhuohua returned to the Guogong Mansion as early as after entering the city, and she didn't need to enter the palace. It was Lin Youran and the prince who were responsible for taking the Queen Mother back to the palace, and now that the Queen Mother took her back, they naturally wanted to enter the palace to resume their lives.
Lin Zhuohua forgot to communicate with her family when she came back, so that when she appeared in the house, the people were stunned, and then quickly went to report like a homeowner.
She had just finished changing her clothes when she returned to her yard when her mother came over.
"Why didn't you give advance notice when you came back? Are you well? ”
When Mrs. Lin saw her daughter coming out of the inner room, she immediately stepped forward and took her hand, looked at her carefully, and saw that her face was ruddy, so she opened her mouth and said angrily.
Hearing this, Lin Zhuohua pulled Mrs. Lin to sit down, and then said, "I also decided this temporarily, and I forgot to tell my mother." In Jiangnan, my body is almost raised, so I want to come back early to help my mother share her worries. ”
Approaching the end of the year, there are a lot of things in the house, even if the concubines in the second and third rooms reach out to help, it still makes Mrs. Lin busy like a spinning top.
"Okay, you should practice your hands. However, it is also necessary to take care of your body, and if you are tired, you should rest. ”
Mrs. Lin pondered for a moment, then nodded.
Lin Zhuohua smiled when she heard this: "My daughter wants her mother to cook, is it good to go to her mother's place to eat at night?" ”
Of course, Mrs. Lin would not refuse her precious daughter, and immediately responded: "Okay, I'll go back and prepare." You've been on the road for so long, so get some rest first. I'll tell you from your grandmother's side, and we'll go back tomorrow. ”
"No, I'll go see my grandmother now."
Mrs. Lin pondered for a while, and saw that she didn't look very tired, so she nodded in agreement.
Her daughter has been very close to her mother since she was a child, and if she is not allowed to go, she is afraid that she will be unhappy, and her mother should also want to burn Hua.
Mother and daughter went out together and then parted at a fork in the road. Lin Zhuohua took the white jade and red beads and walked towards the old lady's courtyard.
When Lin Zhuohua arrived at Ningshouyuan, the old lady was about to go to see her, and when she saw her coming, she immediately pulled her into the house.
"You girl is too bold to dare to raise a sword and confront those assassins."
Lin Zhuohua was slightly surprised, could grandmother's news be received too quickly?
"How does Grandmother know?" She asked, curiously.
"I'm afraid there are few people in Beijing who don't know now, and your mother doesn't know, she has been very busy these days, and she has no chance to leave the house. I also told everyone in the house to shut up and not to mention the matter in front of her. ”
The old lady glared at her, she really didn't know whether it was good or bad to let her learn martial arts with the old man, and she was getting bolder and bolder. It doesn't matter if you compete with some young ladies from the Jiangmen family, and now even those black-clothed people who don't know their origin dare to go up and fight.
"Hehe, I know that my grandmother loves me the most." Lin Zhuohua reached out and hugged the old lady's arm and opened her mouth coquettishly.
The old lady snorted coldly: "Hmph, there is no next time." ”
"Of course not."
It's natural that they don't come to provoke her, but if people bully her, it's not necessarily, she won't be beaten passively.
The old lady glared at her angrily, this girl grew up watching by herself, she doesn't understand her temperament?
It used to be because of the prince, and she should have a temperament. But now she sees that this is a return to her former temperament, and she is a little lawless.
"Alright, you just need to be safe." The old lady asked someone to bring a box and handed it to her: "This is what your master left and let me hand it over to you." ”
Lin Zhuohua was stunned when he heard this, and then took the box. When it didn't open it immediately, it was handed to Bai Yu and asked her to hold it first.
After chatting with his grandmother for a while, Lin Zhuohua went back to his yard. She opened the box and saw that there was a letter inside, and a small porcelain vase was pressed underneath the letter.
She opened the letter and read it. After reading it, he frowned, and after a while destroyed the letter.
"Miss, what happened?"
Seeing her frowning, Bai Yu asked cautiously.
Lin Zhuohua shook his head: "It's nothing, the master has something to leave Jingguo, and he said that he would be back for a long time." ”
The time that allowed the master to leave for so long is probably related to the old lady. But the last time I saw the old lady, it didn't seem to be anything.
She opened the bottle and poured out the pills inside. This is the pill she asked her master to help prepare last time, and after taking it, it can change people's voices. It's just time-limited, and one can only last for three days.
This bottle, about a few dozen, is enough for her. Now that everything is ready, the next step is ready to begin.
However, when the master left, I am afraid that he will not be able to participate in the configuration of Li Zeyi's antidote.
Lin Zhuohua put the medicine bottle into the small pocket he was carrying, and then looked at Bai Yu and the others: "You all go down to rest and rest, and you will continue training from tomorrow." ”
Now Bai Yu's internal strength has improved a lot, although the exercises are good, but they have not been systematically trained, and they still have to come to help in the cold winter and cold nights.
"Yes, miss."
Lin Zhuohua is resting here, but the atmosphere in the palace at this time is not very good, and it is very oppressive.
In the imperial study, the emperor looked at the few people sitting at the bottom, rubbed his eyebrows, and asked, "Can you find out the identities of those people in black?" ”
