Chapter 355: Night Exploration of the Back Mountain
Xie Jinyi secretly said that it was not good.
She didn't have any weapons in her hand that could be defended, the powder and silver needles were all put in the tent by her, Rong Wanrou and Zhao Yu didn't have any offensive power, and they had to rely on her to protect them, in a hurry, she protected Rong Wanrou's mother and son behind her, and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you?" Even the path of Princess Xian and King Jin An dare to stand in the way, don't you want to live? ”
Zhao Jinghuan and Zhao Wuye are not far away.
As long as they can delay a little, they will definitely rush to their rescue.
"Dog thief, take your life!" Zhao Yu suddenly shouted, threw the pear in his hand towards the two, Rong Wanrou hurriedly took Zhao Yu into her arms, and didn't let him look at the two black-clothed people, the two black-clothed people turned sideways, dodged the sudden hidden weapon, looked at each other, and one of them said: "We have received the favor of Prince Xian in the past, and it is not difficult for you today." ”
After saying that, the two of them both disappeared into the forest and disappeared.
Xie Jinyi breathed a sigh of relief, and stepped forward to pull the frightened Rong Wanrou: "Sister-in-law, are you okay?" ”
Fortunately, there is no danger.
Otherwise, with the two of them, they really can't protect themselves.
Rong Wanrou shook her head, and said with a pale face: "Let's go back!" ”
In contrast, Zhao Yu was not frightened much, but asked very calmly: "Mother, did those two people know their father just now?" ”
"It is your father's former kindness that has blessed us." Rong Wanrou replied with a gloomy expression.
"Sister-in-law, let's go back quickly!" Xie Jinyi dragged the two back to the camp quickly, and immediately reported the matter to Emperor Xianqing, who was very shocked, and immediately sent people to the mountains and forests to reinforce Zhao Jinghuan and Zhao Wuye, and strictly ordered the camp to be blocked, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
Zhao Jinghuan quickly returned to the camp with Zhao Wuye.
It is said that the four dead soldiers have committed suicide by poisoning, but they are not injured.
"Four?" Xie Jinyi was very surprised, "Aren't they two?" ”
The other two men in black had obviously left.
"On the other side, in the forest, there are two more." Zhao Jinghuan said with a calm face, "They are so presumptuous, they dare to stab under the nose of their father, it's just mad." ”
Originally, he wanted to catch it alive.
But he didn't want those people to resist to the death, but he and Zhao Wuye couldn't beat him, so they bit the poison pill and committed suicide.
Xie Jinyi told Zhao Jinghuan about the two black-clothed people she met when she came back: "Those two black-clothed people said that they were for the sake of Prince Xian and didn't hurt us, I saw them go away with my own eyes, how could they take poison and commit suicide?" ”
"I was careless, I should have you with me at all times, and I shouldn't have put you in danger." Zhao Jinghuan took her into his arms, "Fortunately, you're fine, otherwise I really can't forgive myself." ”
Rong Wanrou lifted the curtain and walked in.
Seeing the two hugging each other, they hurriedly retreated.
"Sister-in-law, please come in." Zhao Jinghuan let go of Xie Jinyi at this time, Xie Jinyi lifted the curtain and invited Rong Wanrou to walk in, Rong Wanrou's face was slightly hot, "Ziyu and Fluttershy are not here, I heard you talking, I thought ...... In the end, I was abrupt. ”
"It's okay, sister-in-law, but something's wrong?" Zhao Jinghuan asked quietly.
"Your Highness can find out the identities of those dead soldiers?" Rong Wanrou smiled at Xie Jinyi, sat down next to her, at a critical moment, she felt that she was still reliable, at least, she did not abandon their mother and son.
Fluttershy comes in and offers tea.
"Sister-in-law, what do you see?" Zhao Jinghuan also sat down with his robe, and said softly: "Those two black-clothed people said that they had received the favor of Prince Xian before, and I think they should have something to do with the palace, because Prince Xian has not dealt with outsiders except for the disaster relief in Nanzhili, nor has he had any dealings with idle people. ”
Zhao Jinghuan bowed slightly: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, this matter is my negligence, and it will not happen again in the future." ”
After Rong Wanrou left, Xie Jinyi stepped forward and asked, "Jing Huan, have you already guessed who it is?" ”
"Who else can there be besides the King of Qin and the King of Qi?" Zhao Jinghuan was not surprised, and said calmly, "They wish that something would happen to us, don't worry, although there is no evidence in this matter, my father has his own decision." ”
"Jing Huan, can you take me to see the corpses of the four dead soldiers?" Xie Jinyi groaned, "Don't let others find out, let's ......."
She suspected that the two dead men who had killed them were someone else.
They didn't kill themselves by poisoning.
"They were thrown in the back mountain, you dare to go?" Zhao Jinghuan raised his eyebrows and said, "If you want to find out something, I'll help you go and see it, but the goal is too big during the day, and you have to wait for the night to go, or maybe when we rush over, they have already been eaten by wild dogs." ”
"Then we'll go tonight." Xie Jinyi heard him say something strange and scary, grabbed his sleeve, and begged, "You take me there, as long as you agree, there will always be a way." ”
Even if those four dead soldiers were the people of the King of Qin or the King of Qi.
There must be someone secretly spying on the movements of those dead soldiers.
"Okay, I'll take you." Zhao Jinghuan readily agreed, and immediately went out of the tent to arrange for the night to enter the mountain.
He had to send someone to protect the corpses of those people first, and he wouldn't let her run away in vain.
In the evening, the two quietly left the camp and went straight to the back mountain.
The moon is white, and the mountain breeze is blowing.
The horse's hooves fluttered.
The frightened beasts in the grass swept past not far away, unknown big birds circled and chirped in the treetops, and in the distance, there were faint wolf moos or two, mysterious and weird, and terrifying.
Xie Jinyi couldn't help but lean into Zhao Jinghuan's arms, and Zhao Jinghuan chuckled: "Scared? ”
Who had to come to Houshan just now?
He thought she was bold!
"It's a little ......," Xie Jinyi said truthfully, "but with you, I still feel very safe." ”
"I love to hear that!" Zhao Jinghuan smiled, grabbed her with one hand, and held the reins with the other, "After the catastrophe during the day, we are safe now, I promise, except for you and me, there will be no second person in this mountain." ”
Soon arrived at the back mountain.
Xie Jinyi asked Zhao Jinghuan to move those dead soldiers back and forth, looked at them very carefully, and carefully took out a small silver needle from two of them: "It's these two people who let us go, they were killed by someone with a poisonous needle, that is, there is another group of people staring at us." ”
As she spoke, she couldn't help but look around.
The shadows of the trees are swaying, and the shadows are building.
It's as if there are countless pairs of eyes quietly watching them.
Zhao Jinghuan took the silver needle, put it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and said in a low voice: "The one who used the poisonous needle was the secret guard of Cining Palace. ”
"How can Cining Palace help us?" Xie Jinyi was very puzzled.
Before, Master Qian said that Cining Palace released a lot of dark whistles to walk in the capital.
Because she didn't find any clues, she didn't pay attention to it, and now it seems that the information provided by the master is still very reliable.
It's just that Empress Dowager Xiao has always supported King Qin, how could she attack his people?
"I'll tell you in the bed when I get back." Zhao Jinghuan said solemnly.
He didn't really think it was that serious.
Since birth, he was destined to fight for his life with his brothers.
"Not serious!" Xie Jinyi said angrily.
The camp was lit with candles.
People come and go, as if something big has happened.
Fluttershy was in a hurry, and when she saw the two of them returning, she breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Princess, the Queen Mother is sick, and Grandpa He has already come twice, and said that the emperor asked you to come and have a look." ”
