Chapter 284: Reparation
From the capital to the north, on an official road to the border pass, a team of officials is escorting the exiles slowly to the destination, because of the many days of travel, the exiles' clothes have been tattered, some women are even more ragged, can only barely cover their bodies, let people know at a glance what kind of inhuman treatment they have encountered on the road.
All the exiles had pale and indifferent expressions on their faces, except for one young woman, who was different.
Although she was dressed in rags like others, there was a bright light in her eyes, and when she walked, she was still staring in the direction of the capital, and if someone went around in front of her and looked carefully into her eyes, she would definitely be able to see the thick unwillingness ....... in her eyes.
She shouldn't be here! She should be in the capital, in the most luxurious mansion in the capital, instead of being exiled like these prisoners!
The young woman was the exiled Condensation.
The procession proceeded slowly, and soon came to a small river, where the officials stopped to rest, and the prisoners who were on the road had a little time to rest.
Because of the ragged clothes on their bodies, they couldn't stand the cold wind from the north at all, and they all trembled, and some of them were even worse off and were frozen to death on the ground.
Just as Ning Xin watched with horror on his face as the corpse was dragged away, a pair of centaurs came from behind.
It was a few guards dressed in fine clothes, and as soon as the officials who had been arrogant and arrogant and took pleasure in torturing prisoners saw them, they turned into dogs, and asked with a flattering smile: "Why are the adults here, this is a bitter cold place, and they have suffered from the wind and cold carefully......."
Unexpectedly, the guard didn't even look at them, and directly raised the token in his hand and said, "I am acting on the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince, and I will ask a few people to make it convenient." ”
"We will cooperate!"
Seeing the flattering appearance of those officials, the guard directly explained his intention: "Is there a woman named Ningxin in your team?" ”
The officials made a difficulty: "My lord, it's not that we deliberately conceal it, but there are too many people in exile, even we can't remember their names, plus the road is difficult, many people have died before, and a few young women have died, we really don't know if that Ning Xin died in front of him." ”
Several guards glanced at each other, and a grim look flashed on their faces.
As the person they were looking for, Ning Xin trembled with fear.
She has the ability to see people, these guards are menacing, and at a glance, she knows that she has come here to kill people, if she is not mistaken, they should have come to kill her! I don't want to die!
Just as she was panicking and trying to hide her face, several guards not far away discussed this.
"Before leaving, His Highness instructed that it would be better to kill by mistake than to let go, since I don't know if Ning Xin died in front, why don't we kill all the women in the team, right?" One of the guards calmly proposed, "Anyway, they are also exiles, one more or less, and no one will find out, right?" ”
The other guards nodded.
Seeing that they were about to make a move, Ning Xin gritted his teeth and took the initiative to stand up and say, "Do the officials want to find Ning Xin?" The one that came out of Dali Temple Prison? ”
"How do you know?"
In the confused eyes of everyone, Ning Xin stiffened his head and said: "I talked to her on the way here, she mentioned her identity, and boasted that she had done things for the nobles in the palace, so I had a little impression." Ning Xin is dead," in order to survive, she said without changing her face, "On the first day she left the capital, she was ......"
Ning Xin subconsciously glanced at the officials who were escorting.
"By what?" The guards hurriedly asked.
"Being bullied by adults...... Death. Ning Xin said timidly.
As soon as she opened her mouth, the officials really remembered such a thing, because they were not in a happy mood when they first left the capital, and there was a girl in the team who was very delicate, and her skin was also tender and smooth, they couldn't help but kill people if they were not careful.....
The official was a little weak for a while: "My lord, this has indeed happened." ”
Several guards glanced at each other, took three steps back, and took the unsheathed sword back.
"Since the person is dead, we don't have to lie a second time, just go back and report to His Highness."
The guard who spoke glanced at the official, and a flash of disgust flashed in his eyes.
I had heard that because of the difficult journey, a hundred people could die on the road, and seventy or eighty of them died, but I didn't expect that there were officials and abused them.
Looking at the backs of the guards as they drifted away, Ning Xin breathed a sigh of relief.
The news was quickly sent back to the crown prince Li Gaozhan's mansion, and his eyes lit up, as if he saw hope: "Great, I finally have a reason to make friends with Heng Xinyuan." ”
At this time, although the general trend has not changed, but in some places it is steadily tilted towards the side of Crane Nianbing, and now everyone in the court knows that Crane Nianbing, that is, the current Lord Hengxin Yuanheng because of the emperor's blocking of the sword, is really rising, and he has now become a celebrity in front of the emperor. If they still had doubts about the selection of the general of the soldiers and horses before, now they are one-sided that Heng Xin is far from possible.
Compared with Heng Xinyuan's current light, the other one is too inconspicuous.
Li Gaozhan had the intention of befriending Heng Xinyuan, but he had no reason to be friendly with the other party, coupled with the previous incident of Dengwengu, he knew that he had become a hostile in Heng Xinyuan's eyes, so he hoped more and more to win over the other party.
At this time, a counselor gave him an idea.
"At the beginning, His Royal Highness deliberately embarrassed Lord Heng in Dali Temple, but it was because the twelve princesses deliberately instigated it, and the woman named Ning Xin deliberately framed him. In the opinion of the minister, His Royal Highness can try to help Lord Heng out of this evil breath! ”
"How?"
"Lord Heng can't pull down his face to kill Ning Xin, then His Highness will help him do it!"
The strategist said with a grim expression, "At the beginning, Hengxin was proud of the spring breeze, but he was framed by someone to this point, he must be angry in his heart, but he can't attack because of his identity, Your Highness, you can help him attack, as long as you kill that Ningxin and push everything before on her, I believe that someone who understands like Lord Heng will definitely be able to understand what Your Highness means!" ”
The crown prince is the next monarch, and he is willing to take the initiative to make friends with Heng Xinyuan to give him face, he can't help but appreciate it, right?
Li Gaozhan felt that the words of a certain city were very reasonable, and on the same day, he ordered several of his personal guards to chase after him.
After learning that Ning Xin had died, he turned his head and asked the strategist, "What do you think the next step for this palace should be?" ”
I saw that the strategist said confidently: "Your Highness can repair a book, and then send some gold and silver treasures to Heng Mansion together." ”
