710 is rampant
Feng Yan looked at Duanmu Scarlet's delicate and bright face, and there seemed to be a little sparrow flapping its wings happily in his heart.
He just looked at her, and he didn't notice that many people around him were rushing in the same direction, and he didn't notice the movement in the lake.
Duanmufei ran while concisely talking to Feng Yan about Zhang Lan's falling into the water, as well as the matter of the eldest prince and the third prince going into the water to save people, however, Feng Yan simply went in his left ear and went out in his right ear, and he didn't put it in his mind at all.
The two soon ran to the lake, and Duanmu Fei ran out of breath and looked at the lake anxiously.
At this moment, Mu Youxian and Mu Youjing had swam to Zhang Lan's side one after another, Mu Youxian grabbed Zhang Lan's left arm, Mu Youjing was not far behind, the brothers pushed in the water, splashing ......
The other people around also noticed this scene, and in addition to being anxious, many people's expressions became strange, or speculating, or discussing privately, or sighing, or watching a good show.
Duanmu frowned, bit her lower lip and said, "Ah Yan, I'm afraid that Miss Zhang Wu will be affected by me......"
Duanmu Fei's words were a little abrupt, but it was like a bucket of cold water poured on Feng Yan's head.
His eyes opened slightly, he suddenly came to his senses, looked at the pink dress on Duanmu Scarlet, and then looked at Zhang Lan in the lake, and for a moment, there seemed to be many scattered beads strung together in his mind, and he guessed something.
Thinking that his Zhen Zhen was secretly calculated and coveted, Feng Yan's eyes became as sharp as a sword, like a lazy cat suddenly aiming at its prey, and every move revealed a natural coercion.
Feng Yan looked sharply at Mu Youjing, who was pushing with Mu Youxian in the lake, and knew that Mu Youjing wanted to grab Mu Fei with himself.
Oops, Mu Youjing really ate the bear's heart and leopard gall! Feng Yan tugged at the corners of his mouth, hooking up an arc that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.
At this time, Mu Youxian pushed Mu Youjing away with all his might, held Zhang Lan's waist and began to swim back, but Mu Youjing still didn't give up, and after stabilizing his body in the water, he wanted to chase after ......
Feng Yan looked at this scene, squinted his eyes, and the corners of his lips curled higher.
Although Mu Youjing didn't succeed, Zhang Lan is Zhen Zhen's little cousin, so it is equivalent to his cousin, and this loss can't be eaten in vain, right!
Feng Yan casually took out a firearm from his waist, raised his hand, took aim, and tapped the trigger...... A series of movements flowed smoothly, without pause or hesitation.
"Bang!"
The crisp and loud sound of firearms echoed in the air like a muffled thunder in the sky, and it seemed that even the surrounding air was shaken.
There was a silence all of a sudden, whether it was in the two theater buildings or the others on the shore of the lake, they were silent, as if time had suddenly stood still.
In the next moment, the silence was broken by a terrible scream.
Everyone didn't know what was going on, and their eyes scanned down, either following the scream, or looking in the direction where the "thunder" came from before.
On the shore of the lake, under the willow tree, Feng Yan's figure stood tall and straight, his back was straight, his long and thin figure seemed to contain a tenacious strength, and in his right hand he was holding the black fire gun with the length of his small arm, and wisps of white smoke were emitting from the mouth of the fire gun at the moment.
"Sealed ...... Seal the flame?! β
I don't know who blurted out a shout.
"When did he come?!"
Another person said a word, and all the guests couldn't help but look at each other, surprised and suspicious.
Feng Yan's sudden appearance was like a loud bang just now, which shocked everyone with a sense of unreality like a dream.
Some people also noticed the fire gun in Feng Yan's hand and couldn't help asking, "What is he holding in his hand?!" β
Firebolts, of course! Duanmu Fei stared at the new fire gun in Feng Yan's hand with burning eyes, his pupils were shining, and he stroked his palms and praised: "Ah Yan, your quasi-head is so good!" β
He was really a marksman, whether it was using this firebolt, or archery, polo, keju, and wooden shooting...... It's all fun!
The firearm in Feng Yan's hand is the latest design, a little smaller than the previous firecrackers, its advantage is that it is easy to carry, and the accuracy is high when shooting, but compared with the previous firecracker, it has a reduced range and lethality, and it will have more advantages in close combat, but in long-distance battles, it is still better than the previous firecracker, and both have their own advantages and disadvantages.
Duanmu Fei was just a drawing of the design of the firecracker, and some subsequent details were adjusted by Wen Wuchen, and today it was the first time she saw the finished product of the new firecracker, which was even better than she had estimated before.
The screams of the man in the lake quickly stopped, and then a little waiter in Tsing Yi on the shore screamed: "His Royal Highness the Third Prince! β
The lake beside Mu Youjing had been dyed red by a large amount of blood, and it looked so dazzling in the sun.
Mu Youjing's face was so white that there was almost no blood, and he tightly covered the wound on his right shoulder with one hand, but Rao was like this, and the piercing blood continued to pour out through his fingers, dyeing his fingers bright red, shocking.
The little waiter in Tsing Yi turned pale with fright, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Quick, you quickly save His Highness ashore!" β
"Hurry up and get a doctor!"
"You ...... And you, what are you still doing standing......"
The little waiter in Tsing Yi pointed incoherently at the people around him.
However, no one paid attention to him.
The expressions of the onlookers in the theater and on the shore became more subtle, and the surroundings were surprisingly quiet.
After recovering from the initial shock, the guests tasted a little bit of taste, and exchanged glances with each other thoughtfully: Why did Feng Yan hurt the third prince as soon as they met?!
Since Feng Yan can take Nanhuai in one fell swoop and let Nanhuai change to Huaizhou and belong to the territory of Dasheng, he must be a smart person, and a smart person will naturally not hurt the three princes of the dynasty for no reason in front of everyone. He certainly did it for his reasons.
"......" Xie Xiangling looked at Mu Youjing in the lake in a daze, his expression became more complicated, and he couldn't say whether it was happiness or regret.
At this time, Mu Youxian had already pulled Zhang Lan to swim less than two or three feet away from the shore, even if he didn't notice that the person who fell into the water was Zhang Lan at first, when Mu Youjing was injured, he also realized that the person who fell into the water was not his cousin Duanmufei, and his demeanor was as polite as possible, only grabbing Zhang Lan's arm and swimming forward.
The Chu family also had two mothers-in-law who knew how to water and went into the water and took over Zhang Lan from Mu Youxian's hands, and the two mothers-in-law grabbed Zhang Lan's arms one left and one right, and one of them also spoke out to comfort Zhang Lan: "Cousin, don't be afraid, the slave and maid are holding you!" β
Zhang Lan couldn't make a sound at the moment, and the feeling of not being able to step on the bottom in the water made her panic, and she just wanted to get ashore quickly.
There was also a maid mother-in-law on the shore to answer, and the two mothers-in-law who went into the water lifted the wet Zhang Lan from the lake water, and the maid on the shore pulled Zhang Lan ashore with a clear eye and quickly wrapped Zhang Lan tightly with a cloak to prevent her from revealing a little skin on her body.
Zhang Lan was embarrassed at the moment, her face was so white that there was hardly a trace of blood, and as soon as she got ashore, she coughed up several mouthfuls of lake water.
"Tick, tick, tick, tick......"
A messy head of wet hair scattered on the white cheeks, the ends of the hair were constantly dripping with water, and the limbs seemed to be more like they didn't belong to themselves, weak and weak, all relying on the two mothers-in-law to support her body.
Zhang Lan's eldest maid was extremely nervous and gently patted Zhang Lan's back.
Chu Shi couldn't take care of his demeanor anymore, looked at his daughter nervously, and also went to help her get along with her, and asked worriedly, "Sister Lan, are you okay?" β
Zhang Lan coughed twice more before relieving himself slightly, showed a weak smile at the Chu clan, and said, "Mother, I'm fine." β
Chu Shi stared at his daughter without blinking, his face was still uneasy, Mama Yu leaned over and said, "Auntie, the slave has already asked people to go to the Huichun Hall to ask for a doctor, and it should be there soon." β
At this time, Mu Youxian also came ashore from the lake, and the prince's python robe on his body was also wet, and the chamberlain who served him had already prepared a cloak and hurriedly wrapped it around his master.
Mrs. Chu hurriedly thanked Mu Youxian and said, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for saving the granddaughter of the old body." β
Only then did the Chu clan come back to his senses, calm down a little, and pulled Zhang Lan together to salute Mu Youxian and thank him.
Then Mrs. Chu said: "His Royal Highness, the old man should let his Royal Highness go down to change his clothes, so as not to catch a cold." β
Mrs. Chu instructed Mama Yu to personally take Mu Youxian down to change clothes, and at the same time, another mother-in-law brought a sliding rod, and the two maids helped Zhang Lan onto the sliding rod.
There was a lot of noise on the shore, and for a while, no one paid attention to Mu Youjing, the third prince who was injured in the lake.
The guests around him had different looks.
Some people keenly guessed the reason why Feng Yan hurt people from Duanmu Fei's pink dress that was very similar to Zhang Lan;
Some people feel that the Chu family is indifferent, the third prince went into the water to save people, and was injured by Feng Yan, the Chu family was so lazy;
Some people secretly speculated that the third prince should not want to take this opportunity to rely on the Chu family and the Zhang family because the Xie family had fallen and without the support of the Yue family.
Chu was about to retire, accompanied Zhang Lan to change clothes, and thought of something, stopped, her eyes were cold and looked at Mu Youjing, who was getting weaker and weaker in the lake.
According to her wishes, she had to ignore Mu Youjing and let him die.
But today is my mother's birthday, this is the Xuanguo Mansion, if Mu Youjing really dies here, it will definitely collide with the birthday.
Chu lowered his voice and said to Mrs. Chu: "Mother, do you want to let people rescue His Royal Highness the Third Prince?" β
Mrs. Chu slowly twisted the Buddha beads, glanced towards the lake, and then nodded.
Mrs. Chu nodded, and the guards of the Chu family moved, and the two guards went into the water and swam towards Mu Youjing in the middle of the lake.
Chu didn't stay any longer, and accompanied Zhang Lan down to change clothes, and the group walked away with a sliding rod.
Zhang Lan and Mu Youxian were gone, and everyone's attention was naturally focused on Mu Youjing in the lake.
The guards of the Guogong Mansion had good water quality, and they dragged Mu Youjing ashore in three or two days.
Mu Youjing's right shoulder was already stained red with blood, his face was as white as paper, his breath was weak, and the large amount of blood loss made him unable to stand at all, and he sat on the ground weakly like mud.
After the guards rescued the people, they returned to Mrs. Chu and retreated.
The little waiter in Tsing Yi looked at the wound on Mu Youjing's right shoulder that was still bleeding, frightened, took out a handkerchief, and said sharply: "Your Highness, the slave will help you bandage the wound first!" β
The little waiter in Tsing Yi was bandaging Mu Youjing indiscriminately, shouting at the same time, questioning why the Chu family's imperial doctor and doctor hadn't come yet.
These words could no longer reach Mu Youjing's ears, he was staring at Feng Yan who was standing next to Duanmu Fei a few steps away, talking to her with his eyes down, until this moment, he didn't notice that Feng Yan was actually here, when did he return to Beijing?!
"......" Mu Youjing opened his lips slightly, and his gaze suddenly fell on the fire gun in Feng Yan's right hand.
The mouth of the fire gun was facing the ground at the moment, and it was no longer smoking, but Mu Youjing still vaguely judged that the thing in Feng Yan's hand was a fire gun.
Could it be ......
Mu Youjing thought of something, and the sharp pain in his right shoulder made his expression almost distorted.
As if to answer the doubts in his heart, Feng Yan, who was originally talking to Duanmu Fei with a sideways face, raised his eyes and looked at him, his cold gaze was as cold as a sharp sword.
The young man in front of him made Mu Youjing feel both familiar and unfamiliar, exuding a killing aura all over his body.
Mu Youjing had no doubt that the other party would not hesitate to wave his sword at anyone who stood in his way......
The person who shot himself with a fire gun was indeed him!
Mu Youjing felt a chill in his heart, and the bone-chilling chill spread sharply throughout his limbs, and he almost used all his strength to not let himself retreat, and only then did he barely look at Feng Yan.
Mu Youjing felt hatred in his heart, hated Feng Yan, and hated Mu Youxian.
If it weren't for Mu Youxian and Fei fighting with him, he wouldn't have been delayed in the water for so long, let alone been injured by the firecracker!
Mrs. Chu looked at Mu Youjing coldly, and she could probably guess what he was thinking, her expression was even colder, and she roughly said something to Old Lady Chu who had just arrived.
At this moment, there are others around, so many pairs of eyes watching, so many pairs of ears listening, Mrs. Chu can only euphemistically choose what she can say, and she does not explicitly say some of her and An Ping's guesses.
However, Mrs. Chu is a smart person, and she has been married to Mrs. Chu for many years, and she has a tacit understanding, and she immediately heard some extra-verbal sounds hidden in her words.
Old Lady Chu stroked her beard slowly, and said lightly: "Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, your injuries are in urgent need of treatment, there is no doctor in the cold house, Your Highness should go back to the palace as soon as possible to Xuan Taiyi for treatment." β
Old lady Chu's words are equivalent to issuing an eviction order.
The guests who heard this sentence felt more and more that the five girls of the Zhang family fell into the water today seemed to be very unsimple.
"......" Mu Youjing was angry and annoyed, his face changed several times, and even his pale lips trembled.
He gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger, but as if he didn't understand, his eyes looked at Feng Yan beside Duanmu Fei again, and said in a questioning tone: "Cousin Yan, why are you back!" β
Mu Youjing deliberately used his previous name to call Feng Yan, as if he didn't know Feng Yan's background at all.
Feng Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, didn't bother to pay attention to him, turned his head to look at Duanmu Fei again, blinked, and looked at her earnestly, meaning, is it okay for them to go out to play after the birthday banquet.
Do you want to try this new firebolt? Duanmu Fei was eager to try.
Feng Yan's silence made Mu Youjing happy in his heart, feeling that he had pinched his vital point, and a pair of eyes stared at him like a poisonous snake, for a moment.
Mu Youjing said aggressively: "Cousin Yan, you were ordered to go on the expedition, why didn't you go back to Beijing?!" β
Mu Youjing's two sentences are clearly reprimanding Feng Yan for leaving Huaizhou without permission and returning to Beijing without permission.
The surrounding guests naturally understood Mu Youjing's meaning, and exchanged glances in twos and threes.
The third prince is really clever!
At first glance, the third prince seemed to be accusing him of disobeying the military order and returning to Beijing privately, and then tasting it carefully, there was obviously another layer of meaning, he clearly meant that he didn't listen to Cen Yin's arrangement, and he didn't look down on Cen Yin.
Now there are Cen Yin's eyeliners everywhere in Beijing, and the three princes are clearly provoking!
Thinking of this, many people looked at Feng Yan's eyes and became a little subtle.
The third prince was provoking, but at the same time he was telling the truth.
Indeed, none of them heard the news that Feng Yan was going back to Beijing.
According to the rules, when the military generals return to Beijing, they must first be approved by the imperial court, that is, they will return triumphantly, so they must hand over the folds outside the capital first, and then wait for the summons before they can enter the city.
Sneaking into the city like Feng Yan did today, and when he returned to Beijing, he didn't report the military situation, but instead came to the Xuanguo Mansion alone to see his fiancΓ©e, which is really unheard of!
This behavior is inevitably too unruly, too frivolous!
Some of the guests secretly looked at each other, thinking: Could this Feng Yan be crazy because of military exploits?
In the army, it is natural to talk about military merit, but in the court, it is far from that simple!
The atmosphere around has become more subtle.
Before today, many people felt that Feng Yan, the son of Emperor Chongming, was the one with the best chance of ascending to the throne, but at this moment, many people couldn't help but retract this idea.
With Feng Yan's self-esteem, I am afraid that he doesn't even know that he has offended Cen Yin, and it is difficult for one mountain to tolerate two tigers, it seems that it is difficult to say what the outcome of this battle for succession will be!
Mu Youjing also felt the subtle atmosphere around him, and he was proud.
Originally, the failure of today's plan made him feel frustrated, but the appearance of Feng Yan raised a glimmer of hope in his heart, and he felt that the other party was simply killing himself.
Mu Youjing's chin was slightly raised, and he reluctantly stood up with the support of the little attendant, and continued: "Cousin Yan, why don't you speak? You hurt this palace for no reason, that's ......"
Feng Yan felt that Mu Youjing was like a crow, and the more he listened, the more annoying he became.
He still wants to whisper something to Zhenzhen!
Feng Yan didn't bother to talk to Mu Youjing, he directly raised his right hand, and the fire gun in his hand was aimed at Mu Youjing, who was four steps away.
"......" Mu Youjing seemed to be choked by the throat, and he couldn't say any more.
He looked at the dark and faint mouth of the fire, and said to himself, he was just scaring himself, he didn't dare to do it again!
Reason thinks so, but there is still a little apprehension in my heart, and the wound on my right shoulder that is indiscriminately bandaged by the handkerchief is even more scorching, as if someone is burning the wound with a fire.
In addition to the wounds, the whole body was as cold as if it was soaked in ice water, ice and fire.
The wound on his right shoulder had lost too much blood, and he had just soaked in the lake for so long, his body seemed to not belong to him, weak and crumbling, and Rao was supported by a small chamberlain, and he almost fell down without a weak foot.
It didn't take half a cup of tea, Mu Youjing's face turned three points paler, and the little chamberlain who was holding him was very worried, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, do you want to go back to the palace first?" β
Obviously, the Xuanguo Mansion will definitely not ask for a doctor for the master, and the master's injury cannot be delayed any longer.
Mu Youjing stared at the old lady Chu with a gloomy face, and remembered in his mind that when his father had just woken up in February, he had angrily denounced Xuanguo Gong for plotting rebellion.
Sure enough, the Xuanguo Mansion had already quietly stood up to Feng Yan!
Now Xuan Guogong is helping Feng Yan suppress himself in public!!
He can't just return like this, otherwise wouldn't he become the laughing stock of the court! Mu Youjing said to himself in his heart, his expression was gloomy and compassionate, and the haze under his eyes was so thick that it seemed to be about to overflow.
Mu Youjing hooked his lips, a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips, and he said with deep meaning: "Cousin Yan, you only returned to Beijing today, I'm afraid you don't know yet, right?" The Cheng'en Mansion had just been raided because of the fire gun, and the Cheng'en Gong was sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn. β
Between the words, Mu Youjing's expression became calm, as if he was winning.
It's a pity that he was wet and embarrassed like a chicken in soup.
The surrounding onlookers were in a commotion again, thinking of the seizure of the Cheng'en Mansion, and their expressions were even more complicated.
Yes, it is a big crime to possess firearms privately, and Feng Yan injured the prince with a firearm in front of everyone today, which is even more seen by so many guests present, and it cannot be denied.
Once this matter reaches Cen Yin's ears, maybe the people from Dongchang will rush to the Anping Eldest Princess's Mansion that night, and maybe tomorrow the matter of Feng Yan and the edict will spread throughout the capital!
Mu Youjing could naturally feel the subtle atmosphere around him, and his heart was a little more relaxed, and he said in his heart: It's too late, it's almost the same today.
On the other hand, Mu Youjing was somewhat afraid that Feng Yan, a madman, would shoot himself with a fire gun regardless of it, he didn't dare to stay any longer, and covered his wound and said lightly to Old Lady Chu: "Duke Xuanguo, this palace will leave today." β
This sentence sounds very ordinary, but at this moment, it is obvious that there is an off-string sound, as if to say that he has written down today's account.
Mu Youjing shook off the little chamberlain who was supporting him, strode forward, and when he passed by Feng Yan and Duanmu Fei, he suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Duanmu Fei, his expression softened, and said softly: "Fourth girl Duanmu, it's really rude to frighten the girl today, next time the palace invites the girl to watch the play as an atonement." β
Mu Youjing didn't wait for Duanmu Fei to respond, and as soon as he finished speaking, he continued to walk forward, leaving only a back that made people think about it.
Mu Youjing, of course, did it on purpose.
Men know that men, even the most open-minded men, can't tolerate the slightest bit of double-mindedness in their women.
He just wants to seal Yan and be suspicious of Duanmu, so that there is a gap between the two, so that he can have hope!
The corners of Mu Youjing's lips fluttered, and he left without looking back.
A few well-wished guests looked at his back, and couldn't help but wonder what Mu Youjing meant by that sentence.
Could it be that there is anything else to do between Duanmufei and the three princes?
Several eyes glanced meaningfully between Duanmu Fei and Mu Youjing, some speculation, some thought, some doubt, some looking......
Duanmujun frowned, and subconsciously clenched the handkerchief in his hand.
Feng Yan turned around directly, and the fire weapon in his hand was aimed at Mu Youjing's right shoulder again.
The other guests around naturally saw this scene, and their eyes widened in disbelief, as if to say, should Feng Yan be ......
As if to verify their guess, Feng Yan pulled the trigger again.
"Bang!"
The earth-shattering firing of firearms resounded in the air like thunder again, and it seemed that even the surrounding willow trees trembled.
In the next moment, the man's terrible screams rang out again.
The wound on Mu Youjing's right shoulder, which had just been bandaged by a handkerchief, was pierced again, and the wound that had not healed was wounded even more, and red blood was gurgling out.
"Your Highness!" The little chamberlain screamed and grabbed Mu Youjing's arm again.
There was a dead silence again.
Everyone watched this scene in disbelief, if they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, no one would have dared to believe that Feng Yan had repeatedly shot and injured the three princes in public with a fire gun.
This is also unheard of in the history of Dasheng for more than 100 years, and it is simply challenging the authority of the royal family!
This Feng Yan is crazy beyond people's imagination, he is too arrogant!
