She subconsciously glanced at the dressing box placed at the head of the bed, there were some "small means" prepared by her mother, she originally thought that it would not be useful for a day, but she didn't expect it to come in handy now.

"On a spring night, I told the kitchen to cook a few dishes that the prince likes to eat, and there is a drizzle, and when I go to the front to pass the word, I will say that I am not comfortable, and I will ask the prince to come back for dinner."

"Yes, miss." The spring night and the drizzle showed their joy together, and after smiling and grinning, they began to get busy.

In the study in the front yard, Zuo Yuanhao and Liu Huzheng discussed in a low voice the news they had found out in the past few days, they originally chased the caravan all the way to Liangcheng, and the caravan directly stored the grain and medicinal materials in a Zhuangzi outside the city, and there was no movement after that.

In order to find out who was behind the caravan, Zuo Yuanhao deliberately bought a courtyard, often went in and out of the restaurant and the place of fireworks, and made enough of the appearance of a rich family's trousers, but asked that the owner of the Zhuangzi was a man, surnamed Luo, who was very famous in Liangcheng, and also opened a pharmacy and a grain store at home.

On the surface, it is reasonable that he has brought a lot of grain and medicinal materials, but Liu Hu has been monitoring the Zhuangzi for the past few days, and found that three more caravans have arrived, and the food and medicinal materials transported are even more than the previous ones.

Even if you are a fool, seeing this, it is enough to guess that there is something strange about this Luo Ju person, after all, no merchant will save enough grain to sell for five years and medicinal herbs for more than ten years, and they are all wounded medicine.

All the signs point to two words - collaborating with the enemy.

Liu Hu saw that his master's brows were furrowed, for fear that he would go to investigate regardless of his own safety, and persuaded bitterly, "Lord Wang, now that things are obvious, this Luo family is collaborating with the enemy, you hurry up and write a letter to transfer troops, as long as the army arrives, those people will be unable to fly, catch a few more spies, and ask about any conspiracy and tricks." ”

After the end of the war in the western Xinjiang, Zuo Yuanhao was stuffy in the capital, firstly, for the sake of Brother An and the heart of the Manchu Dynasty, and secondly, there was nothing to do.

But Liu Hu was loyal, and he couldn't refute it, so he had to write a letter with a pen, instructing, "Send someone to Xiushui." ”

Liu Hu was overjoyed, quickly accepted the letter, and hurried down after saluting, thinking in his heart that he must find a brother with the fastest legs and feet, arrange two good horses, General He led the troops to come a day early, and the burden on his shoulders would be lighter.

As soon as Zuo Yuanhao was about to get up, the guards outside the door reported that the maid beside Ye Lian asked to see him.

He raised his eyebrows, remembering that Ye Lian had indeed been a little negligent in the past few days, "Tell her that I will go back to the backyard for dinner in a while." ”

Ye Lian got the news, her face lit up with joy, and she commanded Spring Night and Drizzle to help her pick out clothes and jewelry, dress up, and finally hesitated for a moment, and handed over a small paper bag to Drizzle......

At dusk, Zuo Yuanhao really Shi Shiran walked into the second door, Ye Lian greeted him with a smile, and carefully served him to wash his hands and wipe his face.

Zuo Yuanhao saw that she didn't complain for half a sentence, but felt a little guilty in his heart.

Soon, the table was full of sumptuous dishes, and the two of them were talking while eating, and the atmosphere was also harmonious.

After removing the leftovers, Ye Lian poured the tea with her own hands and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, this is the ginseng tea I brewed with my own hands, which is the most nourishing and nourishing spirit." You are busy, drink two more cups to replenish your body. ”

The beauty is like a flower of interpretation, so courteous to each other, there is no man who does not like it.

Zuo Yuanhao leaned on the golden silk soft pillow and drank two cups, Ye Lian waved his hand to signal the two maids to retreat, and then shyly snuggled into Zuo Yuanhao's arms. ，

She is a beautiful embryo, and tonight she deliberately changed into a translucent gauze skirt, and the candlelight reflected behind her, which made her figure more and more concave and convex, which was extremely annoying.

Zuo Yuanhao raised his lips and smiled, just about to receive this natural "Yanfu", but he didn't want to hear a drizzle of helplessness outside the door, "Lord Wang, Captain Liu asked to see him outside the second gate, saying that there is an urgent matter." ”

When Zuo Yuanhao heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately got up and got off the soft couch.

Ye Lian was in a hurry, subconsciously reached out and pulled his cuffs, and called in a coquettish voice: "Lord Wang, you just came back for a while......

"Lian'er, I'll come when I go, and if you're not feeling well, rest early." Zuo Yuanhao hurriedly went out after a few perfunctory words.

Ye Lian looked at her empty palm, and finally grabbed a tea bowl and threw it to the ground.

The spring night and the drizzle that were guarding outside the door with a worried face turned white with fright, and they secretly screamed in their hearts that they were unlucky, obviously arranged properly, who knew that the young lady was so unlucky, they couldn't say, they were going to suffer from the pond fish again tonight.

Sure enough, then I heard the shouts from the house: "Where are the people, where are they all dead?" Don't come in and serve yet! ”

The two walked in dejectedly, and soon one withdrew with a head full of tea leaves, and the other with a slap print on his face.

Not to mention that Ye Lian was interrupted and how to take the maid to be angry, only said that Liu Hu was circling around the second gate, and when he saw the master coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "Lord Wang, the brother who stayed in Luojia Zhuangzi came back to report that dozens of carriages had sent things in, and this time the rut was deeper, and it looked ...... Well, it looks like it's loaded with iron. ”

When Zuo Yuanhao heard this, a fierce light suddenly burst out in Danfeng's eyes, and his expression was extremely cold.

Iron tools have always been controlled by the Jinghai Empire, and the Luo family hoarded or privately sold food and medicinal materials out of the country, which can be said to be collaborating with the enemy, but transporting iron tools is real treason.

Moreover, it is very likely that the Luo family is behind the moths in the court, otherwise they would definitely not have such great courage.

"Lord Wang, it's better for your subordinates to visit Luojiazhuang tonight, the stakes are very high, and you must always find out." Liu Hu opened his mouth to ask for help.

Zuo Yuanhao flicked his sleeves and said coldly: "No need, you stay and guard the courtyard, and this king will personally take people there." ”

"No, Lord Wang, you can't take risks in person, or your subordinates will take people there!"

Liu Hu resolutely objected, but Zuo Yuanhao made up his mind and refused to change it.

Liu Hu had no choice but to kneel and beg to follow, otherwise he would not be able to let the prince go out even if he died.

In the end, the four brothers with good skills stayed behind to guard the courtyard, and the rest, together with Zuo Yuanhao, a total of eight people, changed into black clothes, and took advantage of the dead of night to quietly climb out of a loosely guarded city wall and run to Luojiazhuang.

Luojiazhuang didn't seem to know that he was being targeted at all, and every household had already fallen asleep, and even the big yard where the main family lived was only lit up.

Zuo Yuanhao took the guards to guard under the courtyard wall for a while, and when he saw that there was nothing unusual, he divided the two to the front door, the two left a guard, and the remaining four people jumped into the courtyard one after another.

Liu Hu took the lead and carefully touched the warehouse, but as soon as he walked to the middle of the courtyard, Zuo Yuanhao was shocked and stretched out his hand to pull him back.

Just as Liu Hu retreated, a sharp sound of breaking the sky sounded-

Countless black shadows came out from all corners, surrounding Zuo Yuanhao and the others, and as the torches were lit without interruption, the courtyard was as bright as day.

Liu Hu's eyes widened in surprise by this kind of change, and Tuan Tuan put his master in the middle.

A young scholar wearing a cyan robe, a hosta on his head, and a paper fan in his hand walked out from behind the torch, glanced at everyone with a smile, and said: "Originally, I heard from the people below that there are often rats near Zhuangzi these days, but this son hasn't taken it to heart, and I don't want rats to jump in groups tonight." ”

"Yes, Childe, these rats are really daring!"

Holding bows and arrows in their hands, the strong men with the glow of the arrows flashing loudly echoed one after another. Looking at their appearance, it seems that they really think of themselves as cats that have caught mice, and they are very proud.

The young man waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then looked at Zuo Yuanhao and asked, "This brother, since he has already come, let's report his name, otherwise these brothers under my command will not be so polite for a while." ”

Zuo Yuanhao stretched out his hand to push aside Liu Hu who was blocking him, smiled contemptuously, and responded: "Unexpectedly, a small Zhuangzi actually hid so many people, and a large number of grains, medicinal materials and iron tools were brought in a few days ago, your plan is not small. Since you have the ability to gossip, you might as well think more about how to escape from Jinghai smoothly. ”

The boy in Tsing Yi was shocked by Zuo Yuanhao's firm and proud tone, guessing what his identity was, but after thinking about it, now that the arrow is on the bow, he can't leave a living mouth no matter what, otherwise once the news leaks, it will be a big deal.

Thinking like this, the fan in his hand suddenly waved, and the feather arrows in the hands of the strong men immediately shot out—

Originally, night detectives couldn't bring long weapons, and Liu Hu and the others didn't have any long swords or anything on their bodies except daggers, let alone shields and other anti-arrow things.

Everyone was soon forced into a corner, Liu Hu listened to the brothers who stayed outside the wall without any sound, guessing that they had encountered an accident, his heart ached, and shouted loudly: "Master, you go first, our palace is behind!" ”

Zuo Yuanhao held a dagger in each hand, and quickly blocked a few feather arrows for the guards on his side, and he was also extremely annoyed in his heart, I don't know if he was in a hurry, as if a fire suddenly ignited in his body, and it burned more and more, but after a while, he was a little dry and his brain was a little dizzy.

Liu Hu waited for a moment and didn't hear the master's response, and when he saw that the brother next to him was hit by an arrow and fell again, he couldn't help but become more and more anxious.

Finally found the time to turn his head to take a look, but he was so frightened that his soul flew away, the master who was fine just now actually burned his face red, his body was shaking, and several feather arrows almost flew past his body.

"Brothers, something is wrong with the master! Let's get the master out first! ”

As he spoke, he waved the dagger in his hand with all his might, grabbed a strong man, snatched the long knife from his waist, and then ran to the young man in green clothes and killed him.

Seeing that their masters were in danger, those strong men subconsciously gathered most of them, and a gap was revealed in the encirclement, and the other two guards hurriedly carried Zuo Yuanhao to the wall.

The boy in Tsing Yi didn't expect Liu Hu and the others to be so skilled, and finally changed his face and scolded: "A bunch of fools! Ignore me, hurry up and release the arrows! ”

It's a pity that it was a little late at this time, and as soon as the arms of the two guards were loosened, Zuo Yuanhao disappeared from everyone's sight. It's a shame for a hundred strong men to besiege a few people and let one run away!

The strong men were annoyed and angry, and the feather arrows in their hands shot harder, and the two guards tried their best to block, and in the end they were shot into hedgehogs.

When Liu Hu heard his brother's screams, he knew that he could not escape death, so he tried his best to kill two strong men on his back, and finally his neck was cut off.

The bodies of the three of them fell in a pool of blood, the courtyard was strangely quiet, and the young man in Tsing Yi was also light, so annoyed that he slapped his palm with a folding fan and scolded: "It's really a waste, don't hurry up and chase it!" Let one go, and don't come back. ”

"Yes, Childe!" The strong men hurriedly threw away the bows and arrows in their hands, and ran out with torches and long knives.

Zuo Yuanhao stumbled in the wilderness, gritting his teeth with hatred, he grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he was used to all kinds of selfish methods to compete for favor, of course he was no stranger to aphrodisiacs.

But he never thought that he would be killed by this "small means", although he tried his best to use the internal force to suppress the medicinal properties, but the pain in front of him was getting more and more blurry, and the pain of his lower body was about to burst, forcing him to reach out and hold a cold stone on his chest before he was slightly awake.

There was a faint fire approaching behind him, and it was needless to say that he knew that it was the pursuers who had arrived. He barely raised his legs and climbed up the mountain on the left, and there was water vapor under the cliff, and he subconsciously jumped hard-

"Plop!" In the night, there was a muffled sound from the quiet flowing Wupu River, and if it was daytime, you could still see faint blood smudged in the river......

Ye Lian was lying under the brocade quilt, tossing and turning, the night was getting deeper and darker, and there was still no movement in the front yard.

I don't know why, she panicked so much, as if she had made some big mistake, but she thought about it again and again, a little bit of fun should not have any impact on the prince, after all, the prince's reputation for bravery is known all over the world, it is said that during the battle of the western frontier, he still rushed into the enemy formation with four arrows in his body and beheaded the opponent's general.

She comforted herself like this for a long time, but finally she couldn't sleep, so she simply lifted the bed tent and shouted, "Someone! ”

Spring Night and Drizzle opened the door and walked in, and asked cautiously, "Miss is thirsty?" ”

Ye Lian waved her hand irritably to signal the two to approach, and asked in a low voice, "Did you put the medicinal powder in the tea?" ”

"Miss Hui, I did let it go." Drizzle responded timidly, and then added in a trembling voice, "Slave maid...... At that time, my hands were shaking, and I put a little more ......"

"What?!" Ye Lian's eyes widened in shock, "Didn't I let you put a small half?" How much did you put it in? ”

Drizzle's knees weakened, and he immediately knelt down, "Damn it, slave and maid, all ...... It's all in! ”

Ye Lian's hands were tight, and her carefully kept long fingernails were broken by Qi Qi.

"It's over, it's over......" At the beginning, my mother specially instructed that it would be good to put a little bit of this powder to help the fun without making people suspicious. She was already a little anxious, so she let the drizzle go a little more, where did she think that there would be such a mess, even if she eats too much ginseng, it is harmful to the body, not to mention this kind of aphrodisiac powder.

She was so anxious that she raised her hand, slapped the drizzle twice, and then was about to get dressed and get up.

But at this time, something happened suddenly, and the weeping drizzle and the frightened spring night fell on the carpet together.

Outside the wide open door, a young man in Tsing Yi walked in, if Zuo Yuanhao was present, he would definitely recognize this person as the enemy of life and death in Luojiazhuang.
