Chapter Twenty-Six: Escape and Return Home
The tall man sneered, "The prince really pities the jade!" But it's good to ask this delicate lady to escort us for a ride! With that, a few people left quickly with Murong Xun.
After Yingge glanced at King Qin gratefully, he also chased after him.
"Lord ......"
Zhao Ling waved his hand and said casually: "You go with you, don't let the brothers on the road hurt Miss Murong!" ”
"Yes!" Zhao Ling also chased after him with a few guards in Xuanyi.
Zhao Ling's figure didn't move, the smile on his lips became more and more cold as frost, and the sound of the piano was still echoing in the air.
He raised his eyes and said faintly: "What is the attention of Brother Huangfu?" First ransomed people from my barracks to Li Zhilou, and robbed people through gladiatorial fighting, knowing that my people would follow them all the way, they robbed Miss Murong here, wanting to stop us, is it very good for you to do this? As far as I know, the Huangfu brothers are all dedicated to harming others and benefiting themselves, and this behavior of harming others and benefiting oneself really makes this king very puzzling! ”
The sound of the piano paused, and a burst of laughter came from the hut above, "Hey, what should I do, you have seen through every step of mine!" As you said, this incident is indeed not good for me, but what can I do, I owe someone a favor in the past, and that person begged me to save Hu Yue's only son of General Tuoba, and I can only repay him this favor. ”
The fingers plucked on the strings, and a few strings of light notes overflowed from the strings, and the person upstairs continued: "I only promised to send it out of Chang'an, and I can't control the future, and as far as I know, King Qin has always been a person who puts a long line to catch big fish, and it can be seen from the beginning that you saw through my trick but did not break it." Hu Yue has been destroyed, but who wants to rescue the little general Tuoba , doesn't the prince want to know, I think my behavior this time is for the benefit of others and myself, what does the prince think? ”
King Qin sneered lightly, his eyes were cold, and he shot like a sharp sword out of the sheath, he slowly picked up the long sword in his hand, and said slowly word by word: "This time even if this king gives the queen mother and her old man a face, but this king still wants to persuade the emperor's brother, next time, don't pay attention to this king's head, after all, no matter how good patience is, there will be a day to kill the fun!" ”
After finishing speaking, Zhao Ling held the sword tightly and left quickly. His white soft boots tread over the stagnant water on the ground, the clean negotiation stained a little bit, and the sound of steady footsteps echoed in the alley.
"It's a pity that the Qin Palace, the Huangfu family has no end day!" The man upstairs continued, his voice missing faintly, unable to hear emotion.
"Second son, the spies have come to report that General Yuwen Hu and his party have arrived at the gate of the city!" A maid stood respectfully behind her and said softly.
"Inform the people below that they must send people out of Chang'an, and someone will naturally answer them when they leave Chang'an, so you don't have to worry about things in the future. Also, tell the people below to ensure Miss Murong's safety, after all, I don't want to make a feud with Murong Xun for the time being! ”
Murong Xun was carried all the way to the city gate by these men. Along the way, Murong Xun discovered one thing, although everyone seems to be centered on the tall man in the middle, but they will take care of a young man intentionally or unintentionally. This young man has an ordinary face, and he can't see anything special, but his eyes are sharper than his peers.
When he arrived at the gate of the city, there were naturally soldiers guarding the city to check, and at this time the tall man took out a token from his arms and threw it to the soldier, who glanced at it, showed a respectful look on his face, and said loudly to his companions behind him: "Let go!" ”
When several people were about to cross the city gate, a sudden shout came, "King Qin has an order, close the city gate, and no one is allowed to leave the city!" ”
The soldier was stunned for a moment, then immediately reflected and hurriedly shouted: "Close the city gates, no one is allowed to leave the city!" ”
Seeing that the situation was not good, the men who fled immediately seized a soldier's weapon and tried to break out. The soldiers also reacted and began to fight back. Most of these soldiers who defended the city had fought with the King of Qin and had military ranks, but they were punished for defending the city because of their style, so their combat ability was not weak.
I saw a few soldiers entangled these men, but the others walked quickly to close the city gate. Seeing that the city gate that was still bright was closed tightly at this moment, several people were even more red-eyed, and their subordinates were even more ruthless, and Murong Xun also suffered some hardships during the period when he was pushed.
At this time, I saw some Xuanyi people flying down from all around the city wall, dressed like the guards of the Qin Palace, thinking that they were all here to hunt down these prisoners of war.
The Xuanyi people are quick and ruthless, and they have obviously received professional training. Gradually, a few prisoners of war began to lose their patience.
At this time, out of nowhere, more than a dozen black-clothed people wearing black night clothes and masked faces appeared. The men in black quickly joined the battle, but they were with the prisoners of war who wanted to escape.
Murong Xun couldn't help but wonder, it seems that the prisoners of war are all Hu Yue's prisoners of war brought back when King Qin returned to the dynasty last time, Hu Yue has already been destroyed, who will send these men in black? Why did these prisoners of war happen to be in that alley, and was everything arranged by the unknown violin man? Was his purpose to get these people out of the city? So did he also send these men in black? What is he?
While she was groaning, the city gate was opened by a man in black. A few other men in black escorted these prisoners of war out of the city. As soon as he walked out of the city gate, the tall man pushed Murong Xun hard, and he took the rest of the people to leave quickly.
Murong Xun took a few steps back to stabilize her figure, and after she took a few deep breaths, she looked at the black-clothed man in front of her with deep eyes, but she didn't speak, and turned her head to look at the situation inside the city gate. I saw that King Qin's Xuanyi guard was still blocked by those black-clothed people at the moment, unable to get out, and the captives outside the city gate were getting farther and farther away.
"Miss is frightened, don't be afraid, you're safe!" The man in black said lightly.
"Miss!" A light blue figure landed steadily in front of Murong Xun, Yingge looked her up and down a few times, and when she saw the scar on her neck, her eyes darkened, revealing a little self-blame.
"Let's escort Miss back with the villain!" The man in black spoke again.
"No need, I'll be responsible for our young lady's safety!" Yingge looked at the man in black vigilantly and said coldly.
"In this way, the villain will take his leave first!" As he spoke, the man in black whistled loudly, and the man in black who was still fighting inside the city gate retreated in unison.
At this time, I saw Zhao Hui and others immediately chased out, looked at the backs of those prisoners of war, and after scolding a few words in a low voice, he said to the people behind him: "Let's chase!" ”
Murong Xun touched the scar on his neck, inhaled and said, "Let's go back!" ”
When he returned to Murong Mansion, Yan Yu had already come back and waited outside the mansion, and when he saw Murong Xun and Yingge in embarrassment, he couldn't help but be taken aback, why did he become like this after leaving for a while? Her eyes were on Murong Xun's neck, so she stepped forward to support Murong Xun and asked, "What happened?" ”
Yingge said lightly: "Go home, talk about it!" ”
Murong Xun said: "Check the identities of those palanquin bearers today!" After a pause, he looked at Yan Yu again and said, "How are things going?" ”
Yan Yu replied: "I did as Miss ordered!" Murong Xun nodded.
When I returned to Tingyuxuan, it was already ten oon. The sun has turned scorching.
I saw that under the willow tree in the courtyard, the fifth aunt was sitting on the chaise longue, sleeping lazily, and when she heard the sound, she raised her eyelids, "What do I say, don't I tell you to be careful?" ”
Yan Yu snorted coldly, and helped Murong Xun and said, "Let the slave maid give the young lady some medicine!" ”
Murong Xun glanced at the fifth aunt with slanted eyes, and said suspiciously: "Have you ever been out?" ”
The fifth aunt was slightly stunned, raised her eyebrows and smiled: "No!" ”
"Oh?" Murong Xun smiled, took a few steps forward, looked at the soles of the fifth aunt's shoes and said, "But why is there terracotta on the soles of the fifth aunt's shoes, as far as I know, these muds are only found outside the East City Gate of Chang'an!" ”
The fifth aunt dusted off her skirt to cover the soles of her shoes, and said with a smile: "These muds are in the back garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion!" Pursing her lips, the fifth aunt said again: "Hey, today's luck is really bad, I went to a garden and was bitten by the pine flowers raised by the eldest lady!" I don't know how the eldest lady feeds the pine flowers, this little beast is so powerful! ”
"Then the fifth aunt should take good care!" Murong Xun said, "Don't underestimate that beast, the fifth aunt also said, I don't know how the eldest lady fed that beast, maybe it's poisonous!" ”
The fifth aunt curled up one leg slightly, and the toe of one foot touched the ground gently, "I want to thank Miss for the reminder!" ”
After Murong Xun was helped into the house by Yan Yu and Yingge, Yan Yu was busy going to Zhang Luo for lunch, and Yingge gave Murong Xun medicine to his neck. Yingge looked a little worried, she glanced at Murong Xun, and said: "It's true that the fifth aunt's leg is injured, but no matter how fierce the pine flower raised by the eldest lady is, it is just a flower cat, and the slave and maid look at its injury, it seems that it was injured by man!" ”
"Is it artificial?" Murong Xun muttered, no wonder Yingge is so worried, now that she lives with the fifth aunt, if she has any strange thoughts, she really can't prevent it! At this moment, I don't know Murong Hua's thoughts, since even the subordinates are personally selected, why do you want to let the fifth aunt live in Tingyuxuan, this should show that at least Murong Hua has a lot of trust in the fifth aunt.
"Yingge, you and Yanyu go to test her at night!" Murong Xun took a strand of black hair behind his shoulder and played with it in his hand, and said lightly.
After lunch, Murong Xun had been resting in the bedroom and had never gone out.
Inside the palace of King Qin.
Zhao Hui said with a look of chagrin: "When the subordinates chased after them, their group was actually killed, and the speed of the killer was too fast, good at using hidden weapons, when the subordinates rushed to go, they only saw a red shadow, which looked like a woman, but the strange thing is that they didn't see the body of Tuoba Hong's son Tuoba Hao, and the rest of the people died from hidden weapons, only one of Tuoba Hong's lieutenants cut off a hand!" ”
Zhao Ling's face was indifferent, as if everything was as he expected, "The one who was cut off was the tall and burly man in the Tuoba Hong army, what is it called!" ”
"Yuwen Hu, Lord Wang!"
"Yes, that's him! He is a loyal person, Tuoba Hao has been rescued by someone at this moment! Zhao Ling relaxed and leaned on the back of the chair, his voice was a little hoarse, "It seems that there should be two groups of people outside the city, one group of people wants to save him, and the other group of people wants to kill him, and this Yuwen Hu should be for Tuoba Hao!" ”
After a pause, Zhao Ling sighed and said, "How many forces are hidden in this Da Xiang that the king doesn't know, and how deep is the water in this Da Xiang?" His eyes flashed, and he asked again, "What about Miss Murong?" ”
"I've returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion safely, but I'm just a little frightened!"
