Chapter Seventy-One: Returning to the City Late at Night
Two tall white horses, followed by a few sturdy retinues, stepped on the moonlight, and headed for the city.
When Feng Yiche's people came over, they informed the Texas army in the city to search the whereabouts of the county lord of Fenghua all over the city.
This news, in fact, Ming Ran had already guessed that it would be like this, because today in the Late Spring Building, Fuyue watched her being taken away by Feng Yiche.
She knew that Fuyue must have run back to the Hou Mansion to inform her at that time.
"I see the castle tower, let's go our separate ways." Ming Ran looked sideways at Feng Yiche.
Now that the Hou Mansion is definitely in chaos, there must be a lot of soldiers in the city, maybe as soon as they enter the city, the people from the Hou Mansion will come.
If she is seen returning to the city with Feng Yiche, she will definitely be speechless.
There were a few flickering lights on the walls in the distance.
"Okay, I'll watch you enter the city, and I'll see you at the palace banquet in a few days." Feng Yiche grabbed the reins, and the horse stepped in place.
Mingran nodded at him and continued walking.
Soon, her horse stopped under the city walls.
The soldiers stationed on the city walls had seen men coming from outside the city early in the morning, and today they had been instructed to keep an eye on those leaving and entering the city.
It's just because the county lord of Fenghua is missing.
The city gate slowly opened, and a general greeted him, and when he was about to investigate, he fixed his eyes and realized that the woman on the horse was the Fenghua County Lord that the Texas Army was looking for. ”
Ming Ran pulled the reins, his eyes lowered and looked at the soldiers at the city gate, all of them standing in battle and straightening up.
"Why are you still on duty at this time?"
The general took a step forward, "Lord Yu, the city is looking for your whereabouts today. ”
"Now that I'm back in the city, let's all leave." So saying, she rode her horse and galloped away.
In the silence of the street, the sound of horses' hooves sounded.
In the middle of the street, a man stands on the road. His eyes were fixed on the woman who was getting closer and closer, and his face was as cold as a frozen lake in winter.
Ming Ran grabbed the reins, rode on the horse, and condescendingly looked at Xiao Yichen, who was blocking her way.
"King Chen didn't return late at night, what are you doing here?" Her tone was contemptuous, and she looked into his gaze with a chill.
Xiao Yichen looked up at her, "The whole city is looking for you today." ”
The corners of Ming Ran's mouth hooked up a touch of mockery, "Then I'm back to the city now, can I bother King Chen to give way." ”
"Xiao Ran, what happened before, I had a problem?" Xiao Yichen saw that her tone was not good, and immediately explained the previous misunderstanding.
"What was it before?"
"The day the arrows were fired at the gates."
Under the moonlight, Xiao Yichen's figure was reflected on the ground, Ming Ran didn't want to look at him, looked at his shadow on the ground, and asked expressionlessly, "What kind of trouble?" ”
Xiao Yichen took a few steps forward, walked to her horse, and looked up at her, "By your side, there has always been a secret guard sent by the emperor, and I saw him leading his troops on the city wall that day, so I ordered him to release arrows." Because he doubted my relationship with you, I had to do so in order to dispel his doubts. ”
Ming Ran looked at him and sneered in his heart, "Then you're not afraid of his secret guard today?" ”
She also heard from Feng Yiche that someone was following her, and now it seems that it must be the secret guard in Xiao Yichen's mouth.
"You are missing today, and the secret guard has returned to the palace."
Ming Ran sneered in a low voice, he was really calm, everything was foolproof, and even the order to release the arrow was calculated based on the situation.
Tears welled up in Mingran's eyes, "But Xiao Mo, if you say this now, can you change anything?" I'm about to enter the palace. ”
Even if there is a misunderstanding, what if it is solved? It's not the same as entering the palace.
"I'm sorry, but I worried too much about it to become the way I am now." Xiao Yichen lowered his head and apologized, and soon he raised his head again and said firmly, "Believe me, Xiao Ran, everything is not without a turnaround." ”
"What turnaround? The princess of the kingdom of Li? Ming Ran looked at him.
Xiao Yichen's eyes lit up, "You know everything?" ”
Ming Ran nodded, "The princess of the Li Kingdom, what can you change?" ”
"It can make you not have to enter the palace, and it can allow me to change my current state." His inscrutable gaze stared at the dappled light and shadow on the ground, revealing the unfathomable.
Ming Ran looked at him quietly, and found that he exuded a different aura from the past, more ambitious and a little more vicious.
She had never seen him like this, and she couldn't help but worry, "Xiao Mo, don't mess around, like you said, this is not our previous era, there are no human rights here, there is no fairness." So you, don't act rashly. ”
Xiao Yichen walked to her side, held her hand holding the reins, and said, "It is because this is a world where power is respected that I have to take precautions, and now I can't protect you, if you don't have something to do and have power, how can I protect you in the future?" ”
Ming Ran landed on the horse, and suddenly understood what he wanted to do, she held his hand instead, "I know what you're thinking, it's too dangerous, no, once you fail, you will be doomed." No, I don't want anything, as long as we're all right, even if we don't stay with you. ”
Her tears fell, she kept shaking her head, holding Xiao Yichen's hand, her eyes panicked.
Xiao Yichen grinned, his eyes were gentle, and his other hand was raised, caressing her cheek, "If we don't do this, it will be difficult for us to be together." ”
"Then it's better if we don't be together than if we lose our lives." Mingran spoke in an agitated tone, looking straight at him with a pleading gaze.
Xiao Yichen lowered his head and smiled, then looked at her again, "I lost my life once, I'm not afraid, and now I'm even more afraid of losing you." ”
Mingran's tears slipped down one by one, and he reached out to wipe them away for her, "Don't cry, I have a plan in my heart, don't worry." ”
Although her heart was moved, a lot of it was worry.
He wanted to take the throne, he wanted to follow the blood-stained path.
Xiao Yichen led the horse and pulled her forward, "Let's go back to the Hou Mansion first, the people in the mansion are very worried." ”
The moonlight was obscured by the surrounding houses, and a faint light shone on the dark street.
Ming Ran let him pull him, absentmindedly following him.
"Fuyue said that you were taken captive today, who is that person?"
Ming Ran retracted his thoughts and said truthfully, "Prince Li, Feng Yiche." ”
Xiao Yichen turned his head suddenly, "Feng Yiche? ”
"Yes, the antidote to my aunt before was given to me by him, and the Duke of Li Guozhu and the pro-Heavenly Dynasty were also told by him."
"When did you meet?" He couldn't take his eyes off her.
"Before I went out of the palace to investigate the matter of Nirvana Villa, I got acquainted with him in the Late Spring Building."
He knew about Ming's entry into the Late Spring Building, but he didn't expect that she would meet the prince of Li Guo there.
There is information that the prince of Li Guo entered Beijing as early as a month ago, which seems to be true.
"Then why did he kidnap you?"
Xiao Yichen may not know it, but he is holding Mingran's hand at the moment, which increases a lot of strength.
Ming Ran lowered her head and pondered, in fact, she didn't know why Feng Yiche kidnapped her, but she only knew his identity today.
The place he took her to seemed to be quite far away from the capital, and the sea of flowers could not be near the capital, if it was around, such a beautiful scenery, she couldn't have heard of it.
Could it be that he was just to take her to see the flowers, and was accidentally chased and killed, so what happened next?
She pursed her lips, "I don't know what he's trying to do. ”
