Chapter 235 The Fish Takes the Bait
Rong Xiu withdrew his gaze from the morning glow in the distance, reached out and put his fist to his mouth and coughed lightly, and as soon as the cough fell, he saw Qingbai dodge out of the corner, standing behind him and Yan Xiaoyun with his hands down.
Rong Xiu tilted his head, frowned darkly, and said in a low voice to himself: "It should be about the same." ”
He didn't look back, but his words were obviously said to Qingbai behind him: "Has the news been released?" ”
Qingbai nodded without hesitation: "General, don't worry, I have already sent someone to spread the news among the palace maids and eunuchs that the prince was captured by us, presumably, there will be action soon." ”
The white and pine-like body stood straight, as if it was stained with a little dew, and it seemed that he had been outside for a long time. However, Yan Xiaowei didn't notice his existence at all, let alone when Rong Xiu gave him an order, so he couldn't react for a while.
However, in just a moment, she figured it out, looked at Qingbai, who was solemn, and then looked at Rong Xiu, who looked like waiting for the fish to take the bait at any time, and asked in a low voice: "Do you want to release the news of the arrest of the prince, and then use him as bait to wait for the person behind the curtain to take the bait himself?" ”
Rong Xiu listened, and there was obvious secret praise in his eyes when he looked at Yan Xiaoyi: "That's right, although the prince is working hard for the person behind the scenes, it is estimated that the person will not betray him if he does not dare to pack the ticket." We might as well use a divisive tactic to force that person to show his true identity! ”
Although he had already anticipated Rong Xiu's approach, when this little plan really came out of Rong Xiu's mouth, Yan Xiaowei was still nervous.
"If that man does show up, what are we going to do?" Yan Xiaoyun is very worried now, that person can use Wang Gonggong and Yan Haiyue to murder Baili Ying, so, what else can't be done?
Moreover, the prince's mansion had been bought and given to the prince six years ago, and the land in Huaining had been around for some years, and judging from the evidence that was not evidence, the man had been ready to move at least a long time ago. has been planning secretly for so long, and it must not be an easy character to deal with.
Yan Xiaowei even thought of the mysterious mountain villa in Nanling before and the eyeliner scattered throughout the Hundred Miles Country, was he actually doing things for this person?
The last time she caught Allure, she found something that originally belonged to the third prince in the house where she lived.
At that time, Yan Xiaowei was also suspicious of the three princes, Baili Yechen, but now it seems that the three princes, including what the prince and Yan Haiyue did, all mentioned the three princes, as if someone deliberately showed his feet to deliberately frame him. When all the suspects are directed at the Three Princes, then the identities of the Three Princes are not so suspicious. Eight times out of ten. Jiu is the mastermind behind the scenes, who feels that the third prince threatens his position, so he plans to use this method to get rid of him.
When Yan Xiaowei was on the way back to Beijing, one night she heard the third prince and Yan Haiyue talking in the inn where she complained. The two of them look like they are about to get married, but they have some intrigue.
She remembered that the third prince had said to Yan Haiyue at that time: "Don't think I don't know what your idea is, you'd better be honest, otherwise if I tell everything about it, you won't be able to get out of it." ”
At that time, she thought that Yan Haiyue was forced by the third prince Baili Yechen to do something unseemly. But now it seems that it is very likely that Yan Haiyue's intention to deliberately approach the third prince was discovered by him, so as to warn him from the side.
Moreover, I don't know why, although Yan Xiaowei felt that the person of the third prince looked calm and light, but in fact he was unpredictable, but she couldn't smell any danger on him.
In other words, she subconsciously felt that this person was safe, and even a little familiar. This realization made her very confused, and this unreasonable intuition also made her feel strange, but she was inexplicably willing to believe in Baili Yechen, although she knew that this was a very dangerous thing.
However, now that many things are in front of her, she has to imagine multiple possibilities.
Thinking of this, Yan Xiaowei couldn't help but tell Rong Xiu her thoughts.
After hearing this, Rong Xiu groaned slightly, and then said: "The matter of the Nanling Mysterious Organization must have nothing to do with the people in our court. The eyeliner they sent out was all in the Baili Dynasty to various important places, and at first glance, they were purposeful and went to the imperial power. How could ordinary people have the courage to do these things, and even if they did, they wouldn't be able to raise the financial resources to cultivate so many eyeliner. Those who are extremely capable and financial, and still want to seize the throne, they can't find a few in the entire Baili Dynasty. Even if they are not in the same group as the murderer of the emperor, they will never be able to get rid of it! ”
"But", as soon as the voice changed, he suddenly became calm: "You can't catch people just by guessing, you still have to talk about evidence." Now let's see if that person will be hooked after the news of the arrest of the prince is released! ”
Yan Xiaoyi's eyes sank: "Since he can't wait to send the prince to assassinate the emperor, I'm afraid, it's already very telling." This person must have been unable to wait. I'm sure he can't wait to take the bait! ”
She tucked her clothes together and looked to the east. Before you know it, the sun has jumped over the horizon, and a fiery red morning sun is reflected around, and a new day has begun.
Suddenly, the blue and white eyes of Wangfeng, who was standing around the two of them, changed rapidly, and a blink of an eye blocked in front of the two, and he lowered his voice and said, "Someone is coming!" ”
Rong Xiu's eyes also changed rapidly, and as soon as he stretched out his big hand, he protected Yan Xiaoyi's whole person behind him, his body was tense, and his defensive momentum was fully revealed. The sharp gaze glanced vigilantly at the surrounding bushes, like a heroic eagle.
Yan Xiaowei listened carefully, and sure enough, she heard the sound of boots stepping on the snow, making a "creaking" sound, getting louder and louder, getting closer and closer to where they were.
Her heart instantly rose to her throat.
They are whispering here, who actually found this place? What are you going to do?
Just when she was so nervous that she didn't know what to do, Rong Xiu, who had been tense beside her, suddenly relaxed her spirit, and the muscles in her shoulders obviously relaxed.
He turned around and comforted Yan Xiaoyi, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, it's our people." ”
Yan Xiaowei followed his eyes and looked outside the forest, squinting for a long time and not seeing half a figure.
It's really strange, how did he know it was his own?
As if to confirm his suspicion, a dark shadow in the depths of the forest quickly flashed in front of him. Even if it was far away, Yan Xiaowei could see that this person was so fast that his feet barely touched the ground, as if it was a wind shuttling in the dense forest.
It only floated in front of a few people in an instant, which one is not Pan Shu?
Perhaps her expression of surprise was too obvious, Rong Xiu touched her head with a doting face, and said as if explaining to her: "The Qingfeng Sword in Pan Shu's hand will make a 'woo' wind sound when it encounters the wind, although you can't hear it, but I am very familiar with it, so I will know who is coming at once." ”
Yan Xiaowei fixed his eyes and saw that Pan Shu was not holding a sword in his hand, and with a wave of his left hand, the sharp sword qi cut off the miscellaneous trees in front of him that were blocking his progress.
She listened attentively, but she didn't hear any so-called sword qi sound. It is estimated that, just like a doctor, she is always sensitive to the taste of herbs, and those who practice martial arts are probably also very familiar with the sound of this kind of sword qi. For Rong Xiu, these should be like special functions, hidden in his body, and they can be activated immediately when needed.
Pan Shu quickly walked in front of several people, withdrew the Qingfeng Sword in his hand into the scabbard, and his face changed from his usual grinning appearance, replaced by a very dignified one.
He is like this, even if Princess Ruixiang suddenly disappeared on the way to Phoenix Island, he never appeared.
Yan Xiaowei subconsciously had some bad premonitions, and her heart also rose, and she hurriedly asked, "Brother Pan, what's wrong?" ”
Pan Shu nodded slightly at her, his eyes remained solemn, and he said to Rong Xiu in a deep tone: "The fish has been hooked!" The five princes gathered outside the gate of the Palace of Nourishing Hearts with the queen mother and a group of court ministers, and kept saying that they wanted to see the emperor. I had the door shut down to prevent them from entering, and I hurried over to you. ”
His eyes sank: "Little general, what now?" ”
Rong Xiu listened, and hurriedly took Yan Xiaoyu to the Heart Cultivation Palace.
Before he reached the door, he saw a group of people from a distance surrounding the huge Heart Cultivation Palace.
The people led by the fifth prince Baili Yeqing were shouting at the Heart Cultivation Palace: "Rong Xiu, come and open the door for His Royal Highness!" Why did you seal the Heart Cultivation Hall and not let us go in to visit our father? Rong Xiu, what right do you have to do this! ”
A group of people behind him, although Yan Xiaowei couldn't recognize them all, he could barely call a few.
In addition to the queen's mother, there are also Lin Chengxiang, the head of the civil officials of the dynasty, Liu Youming, the secretary of Dali Temple, and a large number of Praetorian Guards with spears behind them.
Yan Xiaoyan couldn't help but smile sarcastically, the Praetorian Guards were really doing things for this person. It seems that the Fifth Highness no longer wants to hide himself.
She took a deep breath and turned her head to look at Rong Xiu, who was calm on her side, looking at the Heart Cultivation Hall with a heavy gaze.
At this moment, he was like a statue, with his head held high, his eyes far away, and the cold winter wind blew the corners of his clothes to hunt, as if he was wearing an invisible battle robe.
She and he didn't know what would happen next, but she knew clearly that no matter what, she would stand firmly by Rong Xiu's side.
No matter what happens, she will stand by his side like today, like this moment, silently supporting him!
