Chapter 148: Adventure into the Palace
Kang Yufei thought about it carefully, if she was now Zhao Jie's identity, she should have acted as if she hadn't heard anything, and at most shouted "catch the assassin", but for some reason, she was very curious about this matter, this person broke into the palace single-handedly at night, and no matter how bold he was, just the place he ran to, Qiansheng Palace, just this reason is enough to make people tremble. You'll have to go along and see for yourself, and you might find something unexpected.
She worked lightly, went to the roof, and chased after her feet. This man is very good at light work, and he can barely see his back, but fortunately it is quiet at night, and he can find a voice to follow him.
It's just that this speed is not easy to control, too fast, easy to follow too close to be discovered, too slow, and easy to follow. She was in a hurry, and her feet lost her head, and she stepped on the broken tiles, and her feet slipped and slowed down a few steps.
When I looked up again, there was no trace of the man. She felt remorse in her heart, and quickly thought about his route, if the target was really Qiansheng Palace, it should go to the east. She flew down from the roof, turned the corner, and decided to take a shortcut and go directly to the east of the Qiansheng Palace to guard him.
As soon as she stepped through a door, a dark shadow flashed in the corner, and before she could react, there was a chilling sensation around her neck.
"Who are you?" The man asked in a low voice.
Kang Yufei naturally understands his situation, and if he is not careful, he is afraid that he will have to move his head. "You, who are you?" She was determined not to answer his question, but to probe his purpose first.
The man didn't speak, but pressed the dagger in his hand hard against Kang Yufei's neck.
"Maybe I can help you." Kang Yufei still didn't answer his question, slowed down her tone and pretended to flatter, but her right hand slowly raised, her right elbow struck out towards the man's chest, and her left hand accurately pinched the man's right hand, so that his dagger could not hurt herself.
The man took a half-step back in pain, but the dagger in his right hand quickly shifted to his left. Kang Yufei took advantage of the dagger off her neck, took the opportunity to turn around, and faced the enemy head-on, although there was no sword, but her hairpin could resist for a while.
Just as she was holding her hairpin and preparing to pull it out, she saw a pair of eyes of the man and couldn't help but exclaim, "Brother Ruo? ”
The man also saw Kang Yufei in front of him clearly and put down the dagger. The two said almost at the same time, "How are you?" ”
I haven't seen each other for nearly a year, and I can't help but sigh when I meet it again in a situation that no one can imagine. But they don't have time to sigh, they have too much to say to each other, but at this moment, they can only find a place that is not easy to be noticed, long story short.
They found a roof in the corner of a long corridor, a long spire that blocked their body, and a corner that could be seen in all directions, and could be spotted as soon as anyone approached them.
Kang Yufei leaned on the spire and put down his tiredness, finally having someone to rely on, and chatting about the hard work of most of the year.
Think about the day of the accident, it was a sunny day.
In late winter and early spring, it's really comforting to see such a warm day. She asked Huang Yumin to take a few foals who had just walked steadily to the city for a walk, and after a day of crazy play, she was ready to go back to the city for a big meal.
As soon as they entered the city gate, they were intercepted by Huang Yumin's father, Huang Heyuan, who asked the two not to ask more, rode on a fast horse with gold and silver dry food, and went straight to the capital to join Huang Yumin's grandfather Dingguogong. Thousands of instructions, you must not reveal your identity.
She still remembered that moment when the sunset was shining on her body, it was still warm, she didn't realize what was happening at all, she just felt uneasy and scared, but she didn't dare ask. Maybe she knew she couldn't bear this answer, and the later she knew, the more she could live a few more days.
The news of the raid of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei was heard when he was about to arrive in the capital. A few businessmen sat around a table and talked eloquently, saying that this year's cotton harvest was not good, and that there was a good yard to sell in the north of the capital, and finally said that the town Beihou sacrificed too much for the father and son of the Zhong family of the Yuanshan Army, lost the king's heart, and took the foundation laid by the ancestors for many years, and now I am afraid that even a small life has been lost.
Her whole body was suddenly cold, and she couldn't take care of anything, so she just rushed up and grabbed someone and asked, what's wrong with Zhenbei Hou?
Raided......
A few simple words made her fall into hell, blank in front of her eyes and behind her head.
She didn't remember how she got to the capital and entered the Dingguo Mansion, she only remembered that Huang Yumin held her hand and talked, a lot. It is related to the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei.
My father and his brothers were escorted to the capital, but the emperor did not allow anyone to see them, nor did he allow anyone to intercede for them. But there are still many people, flesh and blood, who are indignant about what happened to the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, but the emperor doesn't listen to anything when he sees anyone.
Then, there was a decree of exile in the southern wilderness. It seems that all dust has returned to dust, and no one will rashly mention the words Zhenbei Houfu.
"County Lord, how did you end up in the palace?"
Du Ruo opened his mouth and asked the most important thing, and Kang Yufei didn't intend to hide it, "I wanted to find a chance to see the emperor, but unfortunately, I didn't see it after all." ”
"But......" There were a lot of things he wanted to ask, but Du Ruo didn't know what to ask first, he shook his head, but he could only say what he wanted to say quickly, "We rescued Sanshao." ”
When Kang Yufei heard this, he grabbed Du Ruo's arm in surprise and shook it desperately, "Really? Are you sure? Is he okay? ”
"I've suffered some sins and hurt my legs, but I'll be able to recover after a few days."
"What about Dad and Big Brother and Second Brother?"
Du Ruo shook his head, "The risk is too great, and Master Hou doesn't want us to take risks." ”
Kang Yufei knew his father, he would never do anything to resist the decree, even if the holy decree was written as a dead word, he would not blink. Presumably, the third brother was seriously injured, so that his father moved a little like this.
"They're all fine, but it's damp and cold over there, and Master Hou can't sleep peacefully at night, and he's a little tired."
Kang Yufei gritted her back molars, her heart ached, and now she can't help herself, it's really useless.
"The county lord has seen the second young lady in the capital?"
Kang Yufei nodded, "I've seen it, the ladies in the family are very good, and your cousin is also very good." ”
"I think so." Du Ruo leaned against the spire, feeling slightly relaxed.
The emperor did not embarrass the female dependents of the Beihou Mansion in Zhenzhen, but only asked Lord Qu to send them back to their hometowns and not to stay in Youyun City. Some of the slaves of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei were also arranged to be sold. And people like Du Ruo, who grew up in the mansion but have already taken up their posts in the military camp, can be regarded as escaping this time. After Huang Heyuan took over the military affairs of the Zhenbei Army, he found some excuses for them and sent them out of the city, so that they could have this opportunity to protect the safety of the Kang family.
These things were heard by Kang Yufei when she saw her sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, which also made her feel at ease, and she broke off the idea of going to the Southern Wilderness, and after thinking about it, she had a plan to enter the palace.
In the distance, a little fish belly white is exposed, and it is about to dawn, and there is not much time left for them.
Kang Yufei has always wondered that if the third brother was really seriously injured, with Du Ruo's loyalty to the third brother, how could he leave him alone and take the risk of coming to this palace?
