Chapter 161: Clearing Stumbling Blocks

"Ouch! Heroine spare her life! This is the token to go out.,It's really not like I deliberately want to hide it.,I forgot it in a hurry just now.,Didn't you just think about it and give it to the woman.。 "The official is sweating profusely.

"Don't let him open the city gate yet!" No regrets have run out of patience, they have been delayed here at the city gate for a long time, and the longer they stay, the greater the unpredictable danger, so they must leave here as soon as possible, and there can be no more delay.

The official hurriedly raised the token high and shouted at the soldiers on the city tower: "We have an important mission on our bodies, this is a token to go out of the city, why don't you open the city gate quickly, it will delay our affairs, and you will not be able to eat and go around!" ”

By the faint light of the lantern on the castle tower, the soldier could not see the token very clearly: "Come to the city gate, stuff the token from below, and if it is correct, it will naturally let you out of the city." ”

Several people immediately went to the city gate, took the token for the soldiers in the city to verify, handed over the token for a while, the city gate opened, the soldier instantly greeted with a smile, and returned the token to the official: "It turned out to be the distinguished guest of the second prince, it was a small one who had eyes and did not know Mount Tai, and delayed a few." ”

The dagger in Wuregret's hand has already urged the official to leave here quickly, and he dares to have more ink there: "Okay, okay, get out of the way, you can't afford to delay our work." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." The soldiers got out of the way, and several people passed through the city gate without any problems.

"Woman, now that you have left the city gate, let me go, I am old and young, you can have pity on me." Out of this city gate, he no longer has any barriers, and of course the officials are afraid.

Wu regret glanced at Mo Yan and asked for his opinion, Lan Xin suddenly flashed over, taking advantage of the nervousness of this official, quickly stuffed a pill into his mouth, and then quickly closed his mouth.

"Now you can let him go." Lan Xin said with a grin.

"You...... You...... What do you give me to eat! The nervousness of the officials was a little incoherent.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that after taking this pill, if you say something that shouldn't be said, it will cause sores on your mouth and tongue until your entire mouth is ulcerated." Lan Xin slowly explained to him,

It doesn't matter, but it frightens the official, and he puts his hand in your own mouth and keeps digging out, hoping to spit out the pill.

"You don't have to bother here, my pill melts in your mouth, it's impossible to cut it out, okay, now you can leave, remember, as long as you don't talk nonsense, this pill won't have any effect on you, but, don't blame me for not reminding you, as long as you dare to talk a word of gibberish, you already know the consequences." Lan Xin seemed to be very kind and said.

It's just that this face makes him look even more terrifying than a demon, and he quickly nodded and ran away.

The three of them didn't dare to delay for too long, and immediately evacuated, Mo Yan had some questions: "Xin'er, your pill actually has such an effect?" It's unbelievable. ”

Lan Xin waved his hand disappreciably: "How can there be such a magical pill, I lied to the official, that pill is just an ordinary digestion aid." ”

This cunning little look actually stunned someone.

"The heart is really smart." Mo Yan did not hesitate to praise.

After they left, the official hurriedly looked back until he could not see them, and then hurried back, but the official did not go through the city gate, but went in other directions along the city wall.

At this moment, all the soldiers who surrounded and intercepted gathered in front of the city gate, shouting loudly for the soldiers upstairs to open the city gate, and the soldiers were also the second monk who was puzzled: It's really strange today, in the middle of the night, this is already the second group of people to call the city gate.

The leader took out the token, and after the soldiers defending the city verified it, they immediately opened the city gate respectfully.

The general asked, "Did anyone leave the city just now?" ”

"Back to the general's words, just now there were four people who went out of the city with the token of the second prince, saying that they were ordered by the emperor and had important things to do when they went out of the city." The soldier replied.

"Bastard!" When the general heard this, he was immediately annoyed, and the whip in his hand was thrown hard at the soldier, and the soldier fell to the ground with a groan of pain.

"Those four are fugitives! You've let them go! It's just eating the gall of an ambitious leopard! Look at General Ben not to kill you today! As he spoke, the general raised his whip high again, and the soldier was so frightened that he quickly covered his head and said in a panic:

"The general spared his life, it's not that we are derelict in our duties, but that they took the token of the second prince, and we really dare not open the city gate!"

When the general heard this, the whip in his hand was taken back, and the soldier he was pointing at said in a very serious tone: "You said that those thieves took the second prince's exit token?" Is this true? ”

"It's true, we can't afford to offend the second prince, so we can only let them out of the city, and the general will check it!" The soldier knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, he just did what he did, but he didn't expect to become the wronged leader, and the crime of letting go of the fugitive was not something that he could afford as a small soldier.

"What you said today, if you meet the emperor, do you dare to say that?" The general asked with a solemn expression.

"Back to the general, the little one just tells the truth, no matter where he goes, he will only tell the truth." The soldier said sincerely.

"Good! You go back with me to see the emperor now, and tell the emperor what happened today, before and after! After the general finished speaking, he motioned for his subordinates to take the soldier away.

In the palace, Yuan Li looked at the group of people kneeling below with a gloomy face.

"You guys really disappointed me! I took precautions early, but I didn't expect it to end like this! Yuan Li said angrily.

"The emperor is angry!" Everyone said in unison.

"Rest your anger! How do you make me angry? I've been planning for such an important thing for so long, and today I've ruined it all by you, do you know the cost? You say, "How shall I be angry?" Yuan Li thought that only three or four people could escape under their heavy encirclement, and the hatred in his heart was like a surging river.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say." At this moment, a general suddenly spoke, this person was the general who led his soldiers to intercept Moyan at night.

"Say!" Yuan Li said angrily.

"Yes! Back to the emperor, those thieves couldn't escape at all, but they had tokens to go out of the city, and the soldiers guarding the city only recognized the tokens but not people, so they let those people escape. The general said.

"Out of town token? What token? Whose tokens! How could they have a token to get out of town? At this time, the eldest prince, who had been silent beside him, suddenly asked.

"Back to the eldest prince, those thieves only took the ...... token to go out of the city" The general hesitated slightly, glanced at the second prince who didn't know what was going on, and then continued: "The token out of the city is the second prince!" ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar, no one thought that things would be like this, Yuan Li's eyes were like knives, staring at the general: "What did you say!" Whose token did they get out of town? ”

"Back to the emperor, the soldiers guarding the city said that they checked again and again, the token to go out of the city was really the second prince's, and the soldier was waiting outside the palace now, waiting for the summons at any time." The general hurriedly said.

"Second brother! How could you do such a thing! The eldest prince looked distressed.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the second prince, and the second prince was also panicked, anxiously rummaging for his token on his body, but after rummaging through all the places, he didn't find the token, and the second prince's face suddenly turned pale, and he knelt on the ground.

"Father, the son is wronged, and the son doesn't know, how did those tokens get into the hands of those thieves, it must be those thieves who stole my tokens, it must be such a father!" The second prince kept explaining, hoping to gain the emperor's trust, but in this case, any explanation he gave seemed so pale.

"Second brother, you are really confused! Those thieves, even if they have great ability, they are also southerners, even if you need any help, you shouldn't collude with them! "The eldest prince did this matter in a timely manner.

The second prince is really scared now, if he admits that he has colluded with the southerners, then what kind of terrible punishment awaits him, everyone present knows very well in their hearts, but now he doesn't admit it, the second prince really can't find any reason to defend himself.

"No, it's not like that! Father! You have to trust me! Erchen has absolutely no rebellious heart, they are all framing me! I really haven't done it, Father! "The second prince is now speechless.

"If you hadn't done it, how could your token end up in the hands of those thieves?" Yuan Li's eyes were full of disappointment, he had previously said that he had poisoned the third prince, and he still remembered his father-son affection, so he spared him for the time being, but now, in the face of the country's major rights and wrongs, Yuan Li can no longer find any reason to forgive the second prince.

"I ...... I ...... "How could the second prince know that he had already become a pawn in the chessboard of the eldest prince, looking at the missing token, it was also taken by the eldest prince's people, there are too many inheritors of this country, and many people feel disgusted, so the eldest prince is clearing the obstacles in front of him one by one, unfortunately, the second prince is one of these obstacles, so it has to be removed!"

"Someone! Put the second prince in prison! Wait for the fall! Yuan Li is extremely sad now, he really doesn't understand, how did his son become like this?

"Father! Father! The retainers are wronged! The retainers are wronged! The second prince shouted desperately, but no one paid any more attention to his words.
