Chapter 213: Stealth (2)
The sun rose high, and as usual, the day began for her.
Busy people also start their busy lives and continue to run for the sake of a day's livelihood.
The entire capital was shrouded in a seemingly peaceful silence, except for the inside and outside of the court and the army, everyone did not realize that the storm was coming, and still moved along the established trajectory.
And in several corners of the capital, it has become no longer quiet at the same time.
A team of masked men, forcibly breaking through, rushed into a merchant's house, went straight to the master's bedroom, and entered the market, swords flashed, blood splashed.
If the other party is interested, he can save himself from death by handing over all the family property, and he was knocked out by this group of masked people and thrown into a secret house and locked up. Those who are ignorant and swear to fight to the death are either killed or frightened half to death by the other party's cruel methods.
Such a scene occurred simultaneously in all directions of the capital, and these people did not even have time to react, and all their actions were controlled by the other party.
These people are well-trained, they kill people without blinking, and they are just a bunch of human heads.
As a result, a large number of gold, silver, jewelry, and silver tickets were brought together, and these people were either dead, mutilated, or locked up, and re-disguised by another group of people, according to their habits.
And in the streets and alleys, a terrible rumor soon spread.
The prince of Ziqing rebelled, but he did not take enough military funds with him before leaving, resulting in tight military expenditures and making ends meet. Now she has been deprived of the title of princess by the current emperor and expelled from the royal family! The emperor had long known that the Ziqing Duke was going to rebel, so he had already made preparations, just waiting for Princess Ziqing to throw herself into the net and catch them all!
This news spread like a plague throughout the capital in an instant. Everyone was talking about this, and the originally quiet and peaceful residents began to flee the capital, but when they reached the city gates, they found that everyone was strictly forbidden to enter and exit, and all the city gates were surrounded by soldiers.
So the news once again spread to the entire capital like an explosion.
Xin Zeyang took Xiang Zixi's gold medal, and really came to the palace unimpeded. When he knelt in front of Xiahou Junhao, Xiahou Junhao stepped forward and personally helped Jin Haoxuan.
"Is she okay?" Xiahou Junhao asked with a smile: "I knew that she would not stand idly by!" โ
"If you go back to the emperor, she is very good! And also made a series of suggestions and actions according to the emperor's deployment! Xin Zeyang was about to tell Zi Xi what he had to say, but he told Xiahou Junhao the original, and after finishing speaking, he looked around again and said in a low voice: "Her advice to the emperor is, don't be so anxious to take down the queen mother!" When the time comes, when necessary, put the Queen Mother under house arrest, use the Queen Mother to blackmail Princess Ziqing, if Princess Ziqing compliments, secretly - executed! If Princess Ziqing doesn't comply, then she will naturally commit public anger and become famous, then other countries will also support the emperor and help the emperor send troops to take down Princess Ziqing if necessary! โ
"She also said, please let go of the superiority brought by your identity, and when necessary, lead by example, and you will receive unexpected results!" After Xin Zeyang finished saying this, he took a step back and said in a low voice: "The grass people listen to the emperor's orders!" โ
Xiahou Junhao's eyes flickered slightly, had she already done it this far? Can you even convince Zhuo Guo to send troops to help? Xiang Xiang, you are so amazing, how can I be willing to let go? If you have your help, not to mention the prosperity of the country, even if you dominate the world, I'm afraid it's not difficult, right?
"The military power in the hands of the Queen Mother is a big trouble for me!" Xiahou Junhao pondered for a moment and said: "Although she suggested not to move the Queen Mother for the time being, but once the Queen Mother strikes first, I am afraid that she will be passive!" โ
"Don't worry, the emperor said that she will have a way to prevent the queen mother from striking first! So please be patient! Otherwise, once the Queen Mother is moved, even if she wins in the future, she will definitely leave criticism and leave a handle for historians! It's really worth the loss! Xin Zeyang said lightly: "The grass people believe in Xiang Zixi, I don't know if the emperor believes her?" โ
Xiahou Junhao's heart suddenly shook! Yes, I've always doubted her abilities and whether she can do what she says.
Is this the gap?
Don't think about it anymore, Xiahou Junhao immediately nodded and said, "Okay, you go back and tell her, let her come according to her own ideas!" I'll support her! โ
"The grass people are retired!" Xin Zeyang knelt down at Xiahou Junhao and turned to leave.
Looking at Xin Zeyang's back, Xiahou Junhao's brows were slightly locked. Has Ziqing done so much in the past few years? I actually did so many small actions under my nose, and I didn't realize it! It's so hateful! If it weren't for the fact that her biological mother was the current queen mother, how could she have so many privileges? Damn it!
The reason why Xiang Zixi has this self-confidence is that the Queen Mother will not make a preemptive strike, which is an inference made from the psychology of people. The reason why the queen mother wants to usurp the throne to help her daughter is naturally because she knows the hole cards in her daughter's hand, plus all kinds of dissatisfaction with Xiahou Junhao.
But as the queen mother, she naturally knows very well what she will face once she fails to raise troops. It's still good to have a long prison sentence, but I'm afraid that Xiahou Junhao, the emperor who is not his own son, will personally kill her!
Therefore, unless she is completely sure that her daughter will win, she will not easily show her hole cards! Because she knows better that if her daughter fails and she clears up the relationship in time, even if she hands over the military power in her hand in exchange for the price of survival, it will be worth it!
Because, the older a person gets, the more afraid he is of death!
Although Xiang Zixi is just a thief, in his previous life, he dabbled in some psychology. After repeated scrutiny and analysis of the data collected by the Queen Mother, it is concluded that the Queen Mother is not the kind of person who blindly fights hard, but is a person who is alert and suspicious and will hesitate to do everything. It is precisely because of these qualities that she stood out from the huge harem and became the queen, and even the queen mother!
After analyzing the character of the Queen Mother, Xiang Zixi boldly made her own choice! Weaken the chips in Princess Ziqing's hand, force the Queen Mother to hold down the chips, and buy Xiahou Junhao a chance to breathe!
The day of panic finally passed, and night fell again.
After a short rest and recuperation, Xiang Zixi changed into lighter clothes, arranged all the weapons in place, and took the bodyguards sent by Lin Muyang to protect him, so he hid in the woods, waiting for the carriage full of military expenses to arrive.
Summer evenings are always relatively charming. Now the two groups of people, no one has the heart to appreciate the night.
Xiang Zixi waited in the woods early with her bodyguards.
On the one hand, Shen Zhuangmeng's house has also begun to stage an extremely exciting scene.
A black shadow flashed in from outside the door, went straight to Shen Zhuangmeng's room, and knocked lightly on the door outside, three long and two short.
After the code, the door creaked open, and the black shadow suddenly flashed into the room, and said in a low and hurried voice, "Is the money ready?" Hurry up and give it to me, I have to turn it in quickly! โ
"Shen Zhuangmeng" picked up a box from the bed without hurry, slowly put it on the table, and pretended to be inadvertent: "Where is this money going to go?" Because of the urgency, I can only get so much for the time being! If I'm not in a hurry, I can make up a little more! โ
"No need!" The other party refused: "From today on, you have to remember that you have nothing to do with the princess from now on!" โ
"But how can I stand idly by while I am under the care of the princess? If needed, I, Shen Zhuangmeng, am willing to contribute everything! Including my life! โ
"No need! Hurry up and leave it to me, don't be verbose, I'm going somewhere else! The other party was very tight-mouthed and refused to disclose any information.
"Where is the princess now? I want to meet the princess! โ
"What do you want to do?" The other party said sharply: "Princess, you are not thin, but you are so ungrateful!" Damn minions! โ
Seeing that he couldn't escape from the other party's words, "Shen Zhuangmeng" smiled coldly, threw out the whip in his hand fiercely, and suddenly wrapped around the other party's body, sneered and said, "I don't know who the slave is!" โ
The man saw that the other party wrapped himself with a whip, and immediately understood: "You are not Shen Zhuangmeng!" Who are you! โ
"Shen Zhuangmeng" gently tore off the disguise on his face, revealing an arrogant and domineering face: "Grandma is Qian Yingying, who is frightened in the capital!" โ
The man's eyes widened, and he snatched the box from the table and was about to run!
"Where to run! โโโโ" Qian Yingying's long whip tightened in her hand and grabbed the other party's body.
Who expected that the other party's escape was fake, and the attack was real, with the pull of the whip, a short knife was instantly cut out of the sleeve and stabbed towards Qian Yingying's chest!
The whip in his hand shook and suddenly let go of the opponent's body, and Qian Yingying rolled on the spot, dodging the opponent's attack at once.
"I'll let you go! Where is Princess Ziqing now? The whip in Qian Yingying's hand slammed towards the other party, but the other party easily dodged it, but he didn't fight with her, and turned around and was about to rush out.
Qian Yingying shouted: "Catch her!" โ
The man in black rushed out of the door, holding the box, and galloped towards the door.
At this moment, a cold arrow from the opposite roof went straight towards the chest of the man in black!
Poofโโโโ arrows into the body!
The man in black suddenly knelt on the ground one by one, and a figure jumped down from the roof with a ladder, and said with a sneer: "I advise you not to move, my arrows are rubbed with poison!" Without my antidote, we will surely die! If you still recruit from the truth, I will spare your life! โ
Qian Yingying rushed out of the room, and when she saw that the man in black was shot and wounded, she immediately jumped up with joy: "Xin Zeyang, good job!" โ
The man in black snorted coldly: "Anyway, I can't say that it falls into your hands, if I want to kill you, I will scrape you at will!" I'm not going to leak any news about the princess! โ
"Yo! It's really backbone! Xin Zeyang said coldly: "Qian Yingying, click on her acupoint, remove her chin to prevent her from committing suicide, and bring it back for her sister to fall!" โ
"Yes!" Qian Yingying happily ran over and dealt with the man in black according to Xin Zeyang's instructions.
