Chapter Ninety-Five: Someone from the Capital
The porter quietly led him to the back door, passed the message in, and Jingtai beside Mrs. Hu came out. Personally invited him into the house and brought him to the study.
When Hu Luo saw the visitor, he was overjoyed and said, "Jiang Cheng! You're finally here! ”
Jiang Cheng didn't say much, only took out a small bamboo tube from his arms and handed it to Hu Luo. Hu Luo couldn't wait to open the fire paint and take out the paper inside.
The paper seems to have been torn from a random book, with a few lines of poetry on it:
Leaving the grass on the plain,
One year old and one withered.
Wildfires can't be burned,
The spring breeze blows and grows.
Hu Luo looked at it twice, and was puzzled: "What does this mean?" ”
Jiang Cheng glanced at Mrs. Hu who was standing next to him.
Mrs. Hu wanted to avoid it for a while, but Hu Luo stopped her and said, "Madam already knows that we are doing things for Niangniang, so there is no need to avoid it, lest I have to say it again." ”
Since this is the case, Jiang Cheng no longer insisted, and dictated: "Niangniang also has a secret purpose: those who are with Gu Shinian are the six princes Yan Rongling and Xiao Yao. borrowed Xiao Yao's life experience to kill Yan Rongling by mistake. ”
When Hu Luo heard that he was going to kill Yan Rongling, he sat down with cold hands and feet.
Jiang Cheng frowned when he saw this: "You already know their identities?" Then you should know that if you arrest the prince, it is a capital crime, it is better to kill people with a knife, and there is also a person who escapes the crime. ”
Mrs. Hu saw that Hu Luo didn't speak, and explained: "Lord Jiang, it's not that the old man is unwilling, but the situation has changed now. ”
"Has there been a change? What's changed? ”
Jiang Cheng was a little puzzled, could it be that the six princes could still escape the dungeon?
Hu Luo said in a trembling voice: "Jiang Cheng, do you know that now the Nine Emperor Princes are in Zilai Courtyard, and the Lord of Mingzhu is also there." ”
Jiang Cheng was surprised: "The Nine Emperor Princes and the Lord of Mingzhu, how can they be here?" It must be that when you arrested the six princes, you leaked the news, so you can't admit that people are in your hands! ”
"If you don't admit it, you can't do it! The six princes have been rescued by the Lord of Mingzhu. ”
Hu Luo looked very helpless, and was even embarrassed to see Jiang Cheng. However, he still told the county lord of Mingzhu in disguise, used his youngest son to live in Hufu, and then waited for an opportunity to rescue the six princes.
In the end, he told the Nine Emperor Princes and Miss Qin Guogong that they entered the city with great fanfare with the Imperial Forest Army, and then told them about the meeting with the Lord of Mingzhu County.
Jiang Cheng was incredulous when he heard this, and said angrily: "How noble and extraordinary is the Lord of Mingzhu, you and your wife have seen it separately, but no one has found out that it is wrong?" ”
Hu Luo said ashamedly: "Jiang Cheng, I didn't expect the Mingzhu County Lord to be so cunning, and how her people rescued the six princes, I still don't know." ”
"The lord of Mingzhu is the pearl of the queen mother and the emperor, how can there be no master by his side?"
Jiang Cheng said impatiently, bowing his head and thinking about how to act now.
Hu Luo personally poured a cup of tea and handed it over, and said flatteringly: "Jiang Cheng, now they are all in Zilai Courtyard, there are about fifty Royal Forest Army, and there are more than thirty guards. You see, how is it good now? ”
Jiang Cheng didn't look at him angrily, and said angrily: "The matter has come to this, what can I do?" Is the Armory Workshop over? ”
"Don't worry, you've got it covered. Mr. Yuan and Lin An went in person, and promised that they would only see my Hu family ancestral hall when they went up the mountain, and they could not find anything else. It's just that this year, how can the Nine Emperors be with the Lord of Mingzhu? If I didn't have the Nine Emperors, I would have been able to give it a go. ”
Hu Luo made a ferocious move.
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng sneered: "You dare? If the lord of Mingzhu County has three longs and two shorts, and the Queen Mother doesn't listen to any explanation, she can destroy the nine clans of your Hu family. The Nine Emperors were appointed by the emperor this year, and asked him to accompany the county lord to Tangshan. ”
Mrs. Hu didn't speak, but now she smiled and said, "Lord Jiang, now not only the Lord of Mingzhu is here, but also Miss Qin Guogong." Niangniang's will, I'm afraid it will not be easy to accomplish. ”
Jiang Cheng frowned when he heard this: "If it's not good, it's going to be done!" It is rare for the six princes to go out of Beijing alone, not to mention that Xiao Yao is still together, so he can blame the Xiao family. If you miss this opportunity, I'm afraid it will be difficult. ”
"But the Nine Emperor Princes are also here, I will throw a mouse bogey, if I accidentally injure the Nine Emperor Princes, then it will be difficult to atone for my sins."
Hu Luo frowned bitterly, and Mrs. Hu said tentatively: "Lord Jiang, can you personally go out and let the Nine Emperor Princes and the Pearl County Lord leave?" Shall we make a move? ”
"No, as soon as I show up, how can I blame the Xiao family?"
Jiang Cheng didn't dare to show his face, all of them were human spirits, so everyone knew that the person behind the scenes was the queen's mother.
Hu Luo was puzzled: "How is that good?" ”
Mrs. Hu's eyes flashed, and she suggested, "Master, didn't you invite them to go up the mountain tomorrow?" There are many woods on Cangnan Mountain, as long as they are scattered, we have a chance. ”
As soon as the words fell, Jingtai's voice came from outside: "Master, madam, the eldest young master asks to see you." ”
Hu Luo said in a low voice: "I asked them to stay in Zilai Courtyard, I'm afraid there will be something." ”
Jiang Cheng nodded, avoiding behind the screen.
Only then did Hu Luo raise his voice and say, "Let him come in!" ”
Hu Bu walked in quickly and saluted: "Father, mother, Zilai came out of the courtyard and gave an explanation. ”
Hu Luo cheered up: "Say." ”
Hubu replied, "They want an ice basin and a lamb, and their sons have already commanded them to go down." It's just that the man also said that the lord of Mingzhu County thinks that the scenery of Zilai Courtyard is good, and wants to stay for a few more days, so that we can serve well. ”
Hu Luo and Mrs. Hu glanced at each other, and said suspiciously: "They didn't make a fuss about going up the mountain?" You also said that you want to stay in Zilai Hospital for a few more days? ”
"Yes, that's exactly what the man said."
Hu Luo calmed down and ordered: "You still go to guard, and you and your brother exchange rest." Cheer up, don't slack off. Step aside. ”
"My son got it."
Hu Bu quickly retreated, and Jiang Cheng walked out from behind the screen.
Mrs. Hu hurriedly said: "Could it be that they know our plan, so they don't plan to be like Cangnan Mountain?" ”
Jiang Cheng frowned and said, "I always feel that we seem to have missed something." As far as I know, Xiao Yao is going to participate in this year's autumn festival, and he should be in a hurry to return to Beijing to take the exam, why would he stay for a few days? ”
Hu Luo and Mrs. Hu were also puzzled, and the three of them were silent for a moment.
Jiang Cheng sighed: "Until now, I can't avoid the Ninth Highness, so I still have to find a way to contact the Ninth Highness." ”
Mrs. Hu immediately said: "It just so happens that we are going to send a little lamb, so you might as well mix it up?" ”
Jiang Cheng couldn't hide his contempt in his eyes, and said unhappily: "The people you send things can't enter the courtyard at all." It's better for me to figure out a way, but fortunately, Feibai and they are also there. ”
It was night, and the Zilai courtyard was very lively, and everyone gathered around the yard fire to roast sheep.
Gu Shinian looked at the courtyard, the expensive and extraordinary white marble floor, which was ruined. Xiang Xiao Yao sighed: "This Hu Luo stealing chickens and rice is not a recipe for rice, and he lures wolves into the room." ”
Xiao Yao looked up, and the night sky was a bright and strange bright moon.
smiled: "The ghost door opened on July 15, and now it's just right, and the big ghosts and little ghosts don't dare to come to the door." ”
