Chapter 3: Assassins?
At the moment of distraction, Huai Zui suddenly felt a powerful force kicking in his abdomen, and before he could react, the whole person had instantly flown out of the carriage and sat down in the crowd.
In a trance, Huai was drunk and saw the guards next to the carriage rushing towards him, quickly got up, quickly got into the crowd, and disappeared.
Except for the guards who chased them out, the rest of the guards were vigilantly surrounding the carriage with swords in hand.
Xiao Yongqing picked up the dagger that had fallen on the car, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and he stepped out of the carriage a moment later.
"The subordinates were derelict in their duties, allowing the assassin to get close to His Highness." The chief guard knelt at Xiao Yongqing's feet.
"Dereliction of duty?" Xiao Yongqing sneered, "As far as you are concerned, stopping the assassin is a dereliction of duty." ”
"Your Highness, what do you mean by this?" The chief guard hurriedly bowed down and said in fear.
"Alright, don't pretend." Xiao Yongqing patted the head of the guard on the shoulder and said in a deep voice, "If there is anything wrong in this palace and my father is angry, do you think your Lord Xiangguo can really save you?" Will it really save you? ”
After saying this, he no longer looked at the chief of the guard, but walked to the carriage and said, "See, this is the situation of this palace, I don't know how the crown princess feels now?" ”
Yue Jin, who had palpitations, stroked her chest and didn't make any answer, when she saw Xiao Yongqing open the corner of the outer curtain and ordered Younan: "Help your princess into the inner curtain." ”
"Isn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince going home?" Yue Jin saw Xiao Yongqing take the reins of a horse from the guards, and was a little strange.
"Do I need to tell you where this palace is going?" Xiao Yongqing asked coldly, and then rode away.
"Don't worry about the crown princess, Your Highness has gone to Yulin Prison, and she will return to the house soon." The coachman shouted and drove the carriage.
"I'd rather tell the coachman than you, he's just ......" Younan complained, but was covered by Yuejin.
"Be careful." Yue Jin reminded that she listened to the sound of horses' hooves mixed with the noise of the city, leaning against the window and dozing off.

Xiao Yongqing did not go to Yulinjian, he left his horse next to an inn, and then walked through a narrow alley to a dilapidated house in Guangzhengfang, and slowly pushed open the broken gate.
I don't know how long this house has been abandoned, and it has long been used as a home by three or two beggars.
Seeing Xiao Yongqing coming, the beggars all stopped what they were doing and looked at him, their eyes full of fiery desire and jealousy.
Among the ragged beggars, he was indeed too conspicuous in a red court uniform.
The beggars exchanged glances, and one of them stood up, holding a shriveled and withered grass in his mouth, and his clothes were neater than the others, presumably the leader of the place.
He grinned maliciously, his eyes wandered around Xiao Yongqing recklessly, and said, "This lord, did you bring a gift to my Luo San's humble house?" ”
Xiao Yongqing ignored him and walked forward.
Luo San said again: "If you don't have a gift, how about staying and accompanying our brothers?" ”
Several others burst into laughter: "Stay!" Stay! Stay! ”
"He's here." Xiao Yongqing was not annoyed, he stopped, and his tone was very affirmative.
"I didn't ...... No. Luo San scratched his dirty hair, and his eyes couldn't help but drift to the back room.
"Really?" Xiao Yong sobered up and said loudly, "Did you come out by yourself, or did the palace find someone to invite you out?" ”
Hearing Xiao Yongqing claiming to be the main palace, Luo San waved his hand to signal the other beggars to be silent, and quietly retreated to the door and was ready to leave at any time.
Seeing that there was no reaction in the back room, Xiao Yongqing shrugged and continued: "Okay, it seems that I can only ask Yu Linwei's people to pull you out." Saying that, he pretended to leave.
"Bai Chen, you stop!" Hearing this, Huai Drunk couldn't sit still, so he stumbled over and stopped Xiao Yongqing.
Xiao Yongqing took out the dagger from his sleeve and stabbed at Huai Zui, Luo San and the others exclaimed, and Huai Zui stood there motionless, letting the blade slash across his neck.
"Aren't you afraid of death?" Xiao Yongqing raised his eyebrows and asked.
"It's an honor to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince do it himself."
Hearing this, Xiao Yongqing actually laughed softly, he handed the handle of the dagger to Huai Zui with his backhand, and said, "Flim tongue." ”
"How can I compare with your kid, I actually became a prince." Huai Zui took the dagger and flicked the blade and said, "That was the crown princess just now, right?" ”
"Sort of." Xiao Yongqing lowered his eyelids, and his voice was low.
"I married a beautiful concubine and still had a sad face, how can I, who has never married a wife in the near future, live?" Huai drunk patted Xiao Yongqing's shoulder with a big grin.
Xiao Yongqing opened Huai's drunken hand and said, "My son is almost three years old. ”
"Walk slowly, don't send." Huai drunk raised his hand and thought for a moment, "Hey? How many have you married? ”
Xiao Yongqing smiled bitterly: "Don't talk about this." Tell me about you, why are you willing to come back? ”
"Huh?" Huai Zui looked puzzled, "Didn't you write to me to come back?" ”
Xiao Yongqing frowned and said, "Do you want you to come back and kill me?" ”
"It's definitely a misunderstanding, you wait." Huai drunk groped around on his body, and out of nowhere, he took out a letter and handed it to Xiao Yongqing, "Na, this is it." ”
There are only five big words on the letter: Identified, Hurry back.
Xiao Yongqing simply glanced at it and said indifferently: "What does this have to do with you assassinating me?" ”
"Misunderstanding, it's all said to be a misunderstanding." Huai drunk patted his chest and reassured.
"Hmm."
"Ten days ago, I was still in southern Xinjiang. Although it is said that it is all desert, not as rich as the Central Plains, but with this martial arts to help them fight the beasts or something, I also eat and drink every day, and I can also pull the emperor's ministers or something to drink a little wine from time to time, and the days can be described as relaxed and leisurely......"
"Getting to the point." Xiao Yong's eyes were white, and he was proudly sharing his experience of traveling far away.
"The point is, my plans to travel around the world were disrupted by that letter." Huai Zui Zhengse said, "I thought you sent it, but when I arrived, I found that Yun Yao didn't have a white mansion at all." ”
"Didn't you give me a pseudonym?" Xiao Yongqing paced two steps with his hands behind his back, then suddenly stopped and asked, "Did someone hire you?" ”
Unexpectedly, Huai Zui shook his head: "No, it's just that I heard that there will be a carriage carrying the treasure on Changming Street today, so I just want to see the true face of the treasure." ”
Seeing Xiao Yongqing frowning, Huai Zui hurriedly added: "I want to know that this treasure is not a treasure, so I won't come." As he spoke, he felt that there was ambiguity in this statement, so he added, "I'm not scolding you......"
It seems to be even more wrong, what's going on? How can there be a feeling that there is no silver three hundred taels here? Huai drunk muttered in his heart.
Xiao Yongqing didn't care about this, he wiped his chin and thought for a while, and suddenly the corners of his hand and mouth rose slightly: "This may be a good opportunity given to me by God." ”
