Chapter 774: Taking the Initiative (40)

The battle situation on the mountain was extremely tragic, the dead on both sides accounted for six or seven percent, and there were hundreds of wounded, admittedly, this was just a small test, since Lu Xiaoxiao and Si Daofeng planned to take that position, they would not only hide this soldier, as for where the rest of the soldiers were hidden, it has not been found out for the time being.

The 5,000 soldiers and horses borrowed from Rong Wei were all shrimp soldiers and crab generals, only because they had an absolute advantage in numbers and a favorable geographical advantage, so they could fight a lose-lose draw with the Tibetan soldiers on the mountain.

Yang Ling entered the palace to meet the emperor, and told the emperor about the situation on the mountain, admittedly, when talking about the relationship between the Tibetan soldiers and Lu Xiaoxiao, he did not point the finger at Lu Xiaoxiao, but just told the emperor with certainty that he had a fight with the female Taoist aunt under Lu Xiaoxiao's hand, the female Taoist aunt was the culprit of the hidden soldiers in the cave, and the female Taoist aunt had an accomplice who was injured by Changle with a secret weapon.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, his words in secret pointed the finger at Lu Xiaoxiao.

The emperor was furious and immediately ordered Yang Ling to take people to raid the princess's mansion to find out Si Daofeng and her accomplices.

Yang Ling naturally wouldn't pick up the burden of offending people by himself, seeing that there was still a Feng Bao by the emperor's side, he asked Feng Bao to go with him, and by the way, he mentioned that Rong Wei had a meritorious service in sending troops, and he should be allowed to go to handle the case together.

The emperor knew that he was going to take the Rong value to open the knife, but in fact, when he took the initiative to ask to go to the Rong Value, he was like a mirror in his heart, and his son was going to take the Rong value first. Today's Rong family, just like the original Wang family, is the great enemy of his Lu family, and it is a scourge that must be eradicated.

Rong Wei got the news early, the soldiers he sent to Yang Ling were almost wiped out, and about the man in black and the woman in red, he didn't get much news, Yang Ling and Qu Xiaobai guessed the identities of the two, and they didn't make a noise, how could they guess the eyeliner he sent?

After Rong Wei was announced into the palace, the emperor bluntly said that he and Cuifeng had hidden anti-thieves, one of which was confirmed to be the Dao Gu next to the fifth princess, and an accomplice of the Dao Aunt, who also hid in the princess's mansion, and he and Yang Ling and Feng Bao went to the princess's mansion to find the rebel.

Rong Zhi's brain exploded at that time, five princesses? His niece? Although he usually doesn't have much contact with this niece, she has the blood of the Rong family in the end, and moving her is not equivalent to moving the Rong family!

Rong Wei immediately argued for Lu Xiaoxiao, and the emperor was very cold: "Is it Xiaoxiao, won't it be clear if you check it?" ”

Yang Ling said: "I don't think so, otherwise, Your Majesty will not let Lord Rong participate in this case." ”

In one sentence, all the concerns about capacity were dispelled. Isn't that the truth, if the emperor really thinks that Xiaoxiao did this, then he won't let Xiaoxiao's maternal uncle participate in this case.

After all, it's about avoiding suspicion.

Rong Zhi and Yang Ling Feng Bao led the Praetorian Guards to search the princess's mansion together with the holy decree.

In the Fifth Princess's Mansion, Si Daofeng and Lu Xiaoxiao did not hide. Si Daofeng knew very well in his heart that she could only stand up to this pot, so that at least she could protect Lu Xiaoxiao, if they all hid at this time, Lu Xiaoxiao would never be able to get out of the matter again.

Si Daofeng understands very well that if Lu Xiaoxiao is defeated, there will be no day to turn over.

Yang Ling did not pursue. So that she had time to take out the bullet casing in Lu Xiaoxiao's body, she didn't know what this hidden weapon was, there was no point, how did Princess Di Yi nail it into the princess's body? Could it be that Princess Diyi is also a master?

But it doesn't look like he knows martial arts.

Lu Xiaoxiao fell asleep, she couldn't know the situation from her mouth, and she couldn't know what kind of secret weapon it was.

After treating Lu Xiaoxiao's wound and bandaging it, it happened that Yang Ling, Rong Zhi and Feng Bao brought people here. It's not too early or too late, it's just right.

Si Daofeng did not leave the princess's mansion, which was completely expected by Yang Ling.

Rong Wei was quite surprised, "Prince Ling, didn't you say that the chief of the Daoist is a rebellious thief?" If she was, why would she stay here and wait for us to come and arrest her? ”

Yang Ling said lightly: "Then I have to ask the chief of the Dao, anyway, you and I are only responsible for arresting the suspect and collecting evidence, as for the trial and conviction, it depends on who the emperor assigns to carry this burden." ”

Yang Ling's words are irrefutable, and the capacity can only let people take down Si Daofeng first. Si Daofeng did not resist at all, and two Praetorian Guards came up and cut her arms, tied her with ropes, and pushed her aside.

She was very calm, raised her eyes to look at Yang Ling, and said, "Prince Ling, can I borrow a step to talk to you?" ”

Yang Ling and others are actually at this moment.

But he remained silent, only pretending not to hear her.

Rong Wei was not happy, and said: "What do you have to say, wait until you go to the hall and talk to the adult who presides over you!" ”

Feng Bao smiled and said, "Lord Rong, she has been tied up, no matter what she says, what's the use?" What's more, Prince Ling won't listen to her slander at all. Why don't you and I go and search first to see if there is any evidence, here, just leave it to Emperor Ling. ”

Feng Bao is the emperor's person, in the end, there are still three points of thin face, not to mention that he said that he wanted to find evidence, he was still quite moved, after all, if he encountered evidence that was unfavorable to the fifth princess, he could do something behind Yang Ling's back.

"That's fine. Si Daofeng, don't try to deceive Prince Ling with clever words, otherwise, you will be condemned to be more guilty than guilty! ”

Rong Wei snorted coldly, strode out first, Feng Bao bowed slightly to Yang Ling, and quickly followed out with small steps.

Yang Ling retreated, and only he and Si Daofeng were left in the hall.

"Just because I'm staying doesn't mean I want to negotiate terms with you. If you want to start with me, I advise you not to think about it. Yang Ling sat down on a chair and said lightly.

Si Daofeng was tied, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all, but was very calm, "Since he stayed, it means that Prince Ling still has the conditions he wants." Let's just open the skylight and say something bright, don't waste time. ”

Yang Ling didn't care, "It's okay." Then tell me, what do you have in your hands that is worth asking for. ”

"What if it's Qu Xiaobai's future?" Si Daofeng raised his eyebrows, "Or, you have a new love, and you have forgotten your old love at all?" If that's the case, then when I haven't said anything, you can twist me in front of the emperor. ”

Yang Ling leaned lazily in his chair, his face unfazed, "Xiaobai's future?" Xiaobai's future is naturally up to me, and it's not your turn yet. ”

"Even if you pretend to be calm, it's useless, because I know that Prince Ling can't control Qu Xiaobai's fate at all. You are indeed very capable, you can do things under the nose of Rong Wei, you can hold Princess Diyi, a fairly big tree, and you can muddy this already muddy water in the capital, but even if you can hold the world in your hands, you can't grasp Qu Xiaobai's fate. Si Daofeng's face showed a look that everything was under her control, and he stared at Yang Ling coldly, "I guess, in Prince Ling's heart, your little white lady is the heaviest, right?" came to the capital and married Princess Diyi, but it was all to gain a firm foothold and find a way to keep your wife. Am I right? ”

Yang Ling sat calmly and calmly, his eyebrows raised slightly, "I didn't expect that you are such a self-righteous person, and I think highly of you in vain." ”

Xiaobai's bracelet has been out of order for many days, he doesn't know what it means, his heart has been worried, but on the surface he can't show it at all, afraid that Xiaobai will worry, and he is afraid that others will see something.

Just like now, he desperately wanted to get the conditions that Si Daofeng held in his hands, but he didn't dare to venture at all.

Si Daofeng sneered coldly, "What I said is not true, you know it in your heart, pretend to be calm in front of me, you are still a little tender." If you didn't care about your lady at all, you wouldn't have been coerced by the princess to come to the capital in the first place. Aren't you afraid that your lady will be hurt by the princess? I'm talking to you about the conditions, it's fair and reasonable, you don't have to be here with me, let's open the skylight and say something. ”

Yang Ling's expression still did not change, but his words were still a little loosened: "It's not fair, that's not something you can say, I want to see what your conditions are first." ”

"Then come over here."

Yang Ling raised his eyebrows and did not move.

Si Daofeng was annoyed: "Could it be that you are still afraid that I will harm you?" I'm going to get something for you, but how can I take it with my hands tied? ”

Yang Ling took out the dagger from his sleeve, and with a "whoosh", the dagger flew out, cutting the rope on Si Daofeng's wrist, and the fish intestine dagger seemed to have spirituality, cutting an arc in the low air, and flying back into his hand.

Si Daofeng moved his wrist and sneered, "You're not afraid that I'll run away." ”

"If you have the ability to raise an army to rebel now, I am naturally afraid, but in terms of your current ability, it is too early to raise an army, and I am naturally not afraid."

"If I'm in a hurry, I don't have to take a risk. Even if you can't succeed, you will have a reputation as a hero. ”

Yang Ling sneered: "I'm afraid that you won't be able to do it by then, but you will become a bear." ”

Si Daofeng's eyes were full of anger, but he didn't come out, he just shot back coldly: "I'm a bear, and you're no better." ”

Yang Ling didn't answer her words, and lazily urged her: "What do you want to take, what are you grinding?" Do you have to wait for the capacity value to come back? ”

Si Daofeng took out a piece of jade pendant that was being worn from her neck, the jade pendant was hidden in her clothes, and she was wearing clothes with a collar, covering the jade pendant tightly, if she didn't take it out, she really couldn't see that she was wearing something.

The jade pendant is not big, only the size of a thumb cap, and it is oval in shape, but the luster of the jade pendant is very dull and dusty, and there is nothing peculiar about it.

"I don't know what's special about Qu Xiaobai, this piece of jade was brought by the princess when she was born, so you can understand what it means, right?"
