Chapter 55: Caught
Hao Wuxuan got out of the carriage and looked down through the bushes, at this time, there were several families in Shui'er Village with lights on, some people were wandering in the village, and some people were fetching water by the well, everything looked so normal.
But it's not so normal.
By the light of the Zhuangzi, they were dressed not so much like ordinary people, but a little like ......
Hao Wuxuan glanced at the clothes of the two guards beside him.
And you can faintly hear the beating of weapons and the neighing of horses.
"Princess Niangniang, let your subordinates go down to investigate the situation first." One of the guards, Zhao Lidao.
Hao Wu nodded extravagantly.
The guards slid down the winding path and snuck in from the gate of Zhuangzi.
Time passed, and the lights of the last house in the village were extinguished.
The time for touching the small half pillar of incense passed, but the guards did not come up.
Another guard, Sun Yang, saluted Hao Wu extravagantly and said, "Princess Niangniang, if you don't belong to your subordinates, go and have a look!" ”
Hao Wuxuan raised his hand to stop him, his expression revealed suspicion and uneasiness, "Let's go, go back to the city!" ”
With that, she was about to get into the carriage when suddenly a cold knife struck her neck.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of figures with sharp blades appeared around them.
Shuierzhuang, in a private house, Hao Wuxuan, Jin Ling and Sun Yang were tied hand and foot and pushed to the ground.
Hao Wu frowned in pain, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of a corpse lying in the corner, and then looked carefully at the candlelight, and his heart trembled fiercely.
It's Zhao Li.
There was a large blood stain on his chest, and the blood soaked into the hard earth, a large black and red patch.
It wasn't a note left by Chu Ye, she was designed.
Before leaving, he repeatedly told her not to leave the house, why didn't she listen?
Hao Wuxuan felt remorseful in his heart.
"General, catch three fine works!"
A person came in at the door, and with every step, the armor on his body made a heavy grinding sound.
Hao Wuxuan looked up at him, this person was wearing a helmet, his face was long and his eyes were thin, his eyes flashed like a yin owl, and a scar on his cheekbones was extremely conspicuous.
"Finesse?"
Meng Ba, who was known as the general, moved his gaze from Sun Yang to Hao Wuxuan and Jin Ling, "Two women? ”
Speaking of this, a fiery light seemed to ignite in his eyes, and he bent down and stretched out the claws of sin to Hao Wuxuan's face.
"Presumptuous! Do you know who she is?! She is Princess Yin! You moved her, His Royal Highness King Yin will definitely break your body into ten thousand pieces! Jin Ling's slightly trembling voice seemed to tear.
Hao Wuxuan frowned and closed his eyes.
At the moment, I don't know the identity of the other party, and I don't know whether Jin Ling is a curse or a blessing if she reports her family like this.
"Princess Yin?" Meng Ba rubbed his hands, "Now that the Dog Emperor is gone, what is King Yin!" When you get here, it doesn't matter who you were in the past, you are all Lao Tzu's women now! ”
He looked at Jin Ling obscenely, "Since you little girl is so protective of the lord, it is better for you to come first!" ”
With that, he reached out and stripped Jin Ling's clothes.
"You go away! Go away! ”
Jin Ling's heart was pounding with fright, and seeing that his right hand had reached Jin Ling's shoulder, Hao Wuxuan suddenly shouted, "Stop!" ”
"Dare to scare Lao Tzu!" Meng Ba slapped Hao Wuxuan's face, and a few red finger prints suddenly appeared on his fair face.
"Miss!" Jin Ling struggled to move to Hao Wuxuan's side, crying so much that pear blossoms brought rain.
Just when Meng Ba was plotting against Jin Ling again, someone from outside came to report: "General, King Xi has arrived!" ”
King Xi?
Hao Wuxuan's heart was shocked, how could King Xi come to Shuierzhuang?
Meng Ba let out a deep "um" and explained: "Look after them!" ”
"Yes!"
Mumba left, and several people followed him out of the house, and there was only one man left in the house.
Hao Wu glanced at him quietly.
What kind of general just said that "the Dog Emperor is gone", could it be that something happened to the emperor and King Xi wanted to rebel?
The reason why Chu Ye didn't return for a few days had most of it to do with it.
She struggled to break the rope that bound her hands, in vain.
Looking at the reaction of the people who came to arrest them, saying that they were meticulous, it seems that it was not King Xi who designed to arrest her to blackmail Chu Ye.
The only person who knows the situation in Shuierzhuang and can put the note into her room, knows her, and wants to put her to death, is the one in the Linxi Hall of Yinwangfu.
Hao Wuxuan secretly gritted his teeth.
If it was really the note that Li Jin'er put down, then the information about Shui'erzhuang was what Li Zhen told her. In this way, Li Zhen hurriedly went to see Li Jin'er and left in a hurry, in order to tell Li Jin'er about it, and then set her up.
Since Li Zhen knew the situation in Shui'erzhuang, he must be waiting outside Shui'erzhuang at this moment to catch the thief in one fell swoop.
Hao Wu closed his eyes extravagantly, and really wanted to slap himself.
Sun Yang took advantage of the caretaker's inattention, twisted his arm, and a sharp blade like a shuttle fell out of his sleeve.
He took it into his hand and cut the rope around his wrist without a trace.
"What for?!" The man guarding seemed to have noticed Sun Yang's movements, and only then took a step closer to him, and the hidden weapon in Sun Yang's hand had already quietly flown out and stabbed into his chest.
Hao Wuxuan stared at the man who fell to the ground with wide eyes, Jin Ling was overjoyed, and whispered in her ear: "Miss, it's Sun Yang." ”
Hao Wuxuan looked at Sun Yang and saw that he had untied the ropes on his feet.
Suddenly, Sun Yang escaped from the back window with Hao Wuxuan and Jin Ling, and at the same time, on the Jiuli slope, a large number of soldiers were quietly descending.
The three of them were walking in the dark night, and suddenly a cold knife was on Jin Ling's neck, Sun Yang saw the opportunity to wave the hidden weapon in his sleeve, letting Hao Wuxuan and Jin Ling go first, and he fought with several people who were chasing them.
It's just that Hao Wuxuan and Jin Ling didn't take a few steps, and a large group of people appeared in front of them.
Headed by a dark gray brocade robe, with a jade crown on his head, he looks quite good, and a bunch of rare quality fish and jade tassels around his waist.
It is rumored that King Xi has both ability and political integrity, is generous and benevolent, but he looks at his face, and he does not look like a benevolent person. Especially the grape eyes full of gloom and cunning.
"You are Hao Wuxuan?"
Hao Wuxuan withdrew his carefully pondering gaze, and gave a salute: "Back to the second brother, the little sister is the wife of King Yin, your fourth brother and sister, Hao Wuxuan." ”
King Xi hung his eyebrows without a trace, and there was a hint of hatred in his eyes that Hao Wuxuan couldn't understand.
"Born quite a little beautiful, no wonder the cold-faced Yinwang is different from you. It's a pity that you are Hao Hong's old born! ”
Hao Wu was slightly stunned, could it be that this King Xi and Hao Hong had some kind of relationship? "Sooner or later, this king will kill that old fox, as for you, let's use it to vent my anger first!"
Jin Ling was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "His Royal Highness King Xi spares his life!" The reason why Niangniang came here is to see His Royal Highness King Yin, if His Royal Highness King Xi hurts our mother, His Royal Highness King Yin will not give up. ”
