Chapter 24 Escape from Danger
"Your Highness." At this time, Lu Sihai's voice came from outside the door, which seemed to tell the third prince to go out.
"Gonggong Zheng, His Royal Highness has to leave for a while." The third prince was very polite to Zheng Lai, a eunuch.
"Your Highness, please."
Xia Ye heard the sound of the door 'ah-' and closed again, there was a moment of silence in the warehouse, and suddenly Zheng Lai sneered and said: "Chai Laosan, you really want money and don't want your life, how good it would be if you took a hundred taels of silver and flew away back then." You are not greedy enough, after knowing the secret of the jade screen, you want to take the opportunity to blackmail, so that one of the screens is missing, so that our family's major affairs have been delayed for more than ten years, do you know how big the sin is? ”
"Hmph, Zheng Lai, don't put everything on my head, you didn't want me to live at all. If you pretend to lure me away with a hundred taels of silver, you are actually trying to kill people and kill me. If it weren't for my Chai Laosan, who had a lot of eyes, I eavesdropped under your window that night, I'm afraid that there would be no bones left at this moment! If you are unkind, do not blame me for being unjust. I have no power and no power, so I can't bring you down, but I just heard the secret of the jade screen, and it's okay to steal it as a small punishment, hehe! ”
"Those idiots didn't kill you back then." The father-in-law said coldly.
"That's my life! Someone came to the rescue. Chai Laosan said hatefully, but then said a little melancholy, "It's a pity that although that person saved me, in fact, his intention was also on the jade screen, taking advantage of my unpreparedness, to snatch it away." ”
"It's the brilliant scholar who saved you, why don't you do it?"
"Hmph, I'll never forget his one-armed, and that one-armed judge's pen. Otherwise, how could I recognize him at a glance when he appeared in Sword Shadow Villa this time! ”
Just then, the door opened again.
"Gonggong Zheng, the four seas got the news, the officers and soldiers chased the one-armed man and his accomplices, ran to the vicinity of Jingyue Lake, and suddenly disappeared."
"Haha, what's the use of chasing him, the matter of the treasure map has already been made public......" Chai Laosan said sarcastically.
"What did you say?" Zheng Lai's voice was so sharp that it pierced his ears.
"That's right, the secret of the jade screen, there is no one in our Dragon Temple Gang called Huazi, who doesn't know."
"Did you say that?" Zheng Lai almost wanted to kill.
"Gonggong Zheng, don't get excited, I'm not stupid enough to that point, of course why don't I leak it out for myself."
"Hmph." Gonggong Zheng suddenly smiled sideways, "The wonderful scholar has a good trick to draw salary." The jade screen contains a treasure map, which is a big secret, but now it is good that Hanako knows it, and it seems that the rivers and lakes are not peaceful. ”
"Gonggong Zheng doesn't need to worry too much, now everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that the full-width jade screen is in the Sword Shadow Villa, but the masters of the Sword Shadow Villa are like clouds, not everyone has the ability to move......" The third prince said and paused and said, "Moreover, this screen will not be here soon." ”
"No, it's better to ask Wu Qing to take his things and leave quickly, so as not to have too many dreams at night." Zheng Lai said nervously.
"Father-in-law, don't be impatient, the city gate is closed at this time, and going out of the city overnight will arouse suspicion, His Royal Highness will arrange for him to go out of the city early in the morning."
"Well, that's fine."
"By the way, this person must be caught, and we are afraid that he will know some other secrets." Gonggong Zheng gritted his teeth and said.
"Father-in-law, rest assured, the Jingwei camp has almost poured out."
"Good."
"What should I do with this person?" The third prince asked.
Xia Ye knew that he was referring to Chai Laosan.
"The three princes spare their lives, and Gonggong Zheng spares their lives." Unexpectedly, Chai Laosan, who was still as hard as a dead duck just now, suddenly changed into a different person at this time, and begged for mercy pitifully.
"Since that person is not dead, Chai Laosan is useful, and ask him to prepare another pair of invisible poisons that kill people." Zheng Laidao.
"Yes, yes, His Royal Highness the Third Prince, the villain is the best in the world in drug production, and it is still useful to keep the villain's cheap life."
"Hmph, don't be in a hurry to be happy just yet, wait until tomorrow." The third prince seemed to be very disdainful of this kind of boneless villain, and his tone was cold.
Xia Ye was listening attentively, and the curtain of the car was suddenly opened, and the third prince hugged her out and said, "Gonggong Zheng, there is another person here." ”
The summer night was laid on a layer of hay.
"Who?"
"The Nightless Princess of the Kingdom of Qi."
"Your Highness is sure?" As she spoke, Xia Ye saw a monster suddenly appear in front of her eyes, and if she hadn't been like a dead person at this time, she would have screamed on the spot.
What kind of face is this: the whole head looks like a roasted potato, the skin is yellow-brown and wrinkled, the facial features are somewhat blurred, and there is only a pair of eyes, as if they have been tempered in the fire, shining with a breathtaking light.
"There will be no mistake, His Royal Highness has seen her portrait, and there is a swiftlet birthmark behind the right ear of Princess Wuye, which is unique in the world."
"He must be a silver-faced man." Summer Night thought of a portrait of the silver-faced man on the table in the underground ice room, and she was completely convinced of her speculation all along, and her heart was very excited.
"Has she been pointed?"
"I'm afraid I'm dead." The third prince said with a little regret.
"What's the use of a dead man?"
"Gonggong Zheng, His Royal Highness hasn't figured it out at the moment, but I always find it useful. It's better to leave it here for the time being, and when tomorrow's business is over, think of a way to use it. ”
"Hehe, His Royal Highness is becoming more and more cautious, no wonder the emperor is paying more and more attention to His Highness, early tomorrow morning, you will be crowned King Min in front of hundreds of civil and military officials."
"Gonggong Zheng has a good reputation, but his father loves him and sends his Royal Highness a wedding congratulations." The third prince said modestly.
"The emperor has a good eye for you, that's better, just ask who among the princes has such a special experience, even the prince doesn't have this blessing, the old slave really wants to congratulate His Royal Highness again and again. No, I'm afraid that from this time on, the old slave will change his mouth and call you the prince. ”
"Haha!" The third prince was no longer polite, and laughed a few times in a good mood, and then said, "Let this king send his father-in-law out." ”
"There is labor."
The door was opened again, and the third prince ordered: "Guard the person inside, don't let him escape." ”
"Yes."
The warehouse was instantly pitch black, the lights were taken out, and the summer night lay motionless on the hay, secretly crying in his heart: last time, he was a living dead for a long time, and he was almost sealed in the underground palace. This time it's even more hanging, maybe tomorrow someone will be buried in the ground.
When I was in a hurry on a summer night, I heard the sound of rustling around me, as well as the sound of deliberately suppressed breathing. She immediately understood that it must be Chai Laosan who was desperately trying to break free from the rope.
After a long time, I heard someone sigh softly, and there was a ruffle of hay, and the man seemed to stand up.
There was a sudden bright light in front of him, it was Chai Laosan who blew up the fire, he was a little curious to shine the fire light in front of the summer night, and whispered to himself: "I really didn't expect that it would be a princess." ”
At this time, his gaze fell on her chest, and he suddenly reached out and pulled out the flying knife in Xia Ye's heart.
Xia Ye suddenly felt the pain in his heart, and involuntarily let out a **.
"You're not dead?!" Chai Laosan was so surprised that he was stunned for a while.
Summer Night quickly turned over and stood up, and by the dim light of the fire fold, ran in the direction of the door.
"Stop!" Chai Laosan let out a low snort, chased after him, grabbed the hem of Xia Ye's clothes, and was desperately broken away by her.
"Open the door, open the door!" Summer Night tugged on the door, found it bolted from the outside, and immediately shouted loudly.
"Strange, why is there a woman's voice?" A young man said outside.
"Beware of deception." Another reminded him.
Xia Ye was afraid that they would not believe it, so he hurriedly shouted through the door: "Go and report to your owner that the princess has come back to life." ”
"Princess?"
"Hey, don't pretend to be a ghost, we won't be fooled."
Xia Ye was so anxious that he couldn't do it, he was afraid that Chai Laosan would come to kill her, so he called the door while turning around and guarding carefully, and found that he was standing quietly aside with a fire fold, and he suddenly understood in his heart: This old fox is waiting for himself to open the door, so he can take the opportunity to take the opportunity to get out of the door - what a good calculation!
Seeing that the gatekeeper didn't believe Xia Ye's words at all, Chai Laosan suddenly let out two sneers, raised his hand, and the fire fold drew an arc in mid-air and landed on the ground covered with hay.
Before the summer night could utter an exclamation, the fire 'boomed' and spread rapidly, and the storehouse was made of wood, and the tongue of fire climbed up the wall in the blink of an eye. When the dry wood met the fire, the smoke in the house was suddenly thick, and the fire became more and more vigorous, and the house was as hot as a stove, which could roast people to death at any time.
The carriage was not spared, and the horses neighed in terror and ran through the house, nearly flattening the summer night.
"It's on fire! It's on fire! Summer Night coughed desperately while banging on the door hard, but this time the people outside also found out about the situation, and the door was immediately opened.
Summer Night covered his mouth and nose and rushed out, but he didn't run far before he was stopped, it seemed that they were more afraid of people running away than the warehouse was on fire.
"Hurry up and report to the owner! The rest of the people hurry up to put out the fire! "One of them, who looks like a small leader, is holding on to the summer night and giving orders decisively.
At this moment, suddenly a steaming black horse burst out of the sea of fire, and on it sat a man who had been roasted to black coal, with white smoke all over his body, and occasionally a few pinches of sparks, and behind the black horse dragged a raging fire, like hell, and ran violently.
Xia Ye and all the Zhuang Ding were stunned, and they were in a trance for a while. In an instant, the black horse ran to the front, Chai Laosan suddenly leaned over, grabbed Xia Ye's arm and pulled it on the horse's back, but her other hand was firmly grasped by the little leader, Chai Laosan grabbed a handful of things from his arms, and sprinkled it on the little leader's head, it was like throwing a white face on his face, he immediately fell to the ground as if he was drunk, and Xia Ye was pulled on the horse's back.
"Don't let people run, chase after you!" Someone shouted behind him.
"Drive! Drive! Chai Laosan urged the black horse again and again, and the horse was frightened and painful, and he was about to fly.
Because the horse was still dragging the burning carriage, it was like a fireball, illuminating the road brightly, and the summer night remembered that Chai Laosan had been here, and sure enough, he was very familiar with the road, and drove the horse to the gate of the Sword Shadow Villa.
Seeing that the gate was approaching, more than a dozen Zhuang Ding were already waiting with weapons in hand.
Xia Ye caught a glimpse of the gate closed, and Zhuang Ding blocked it, thinking how could this escape, just turned his head to persuade Chai Laosan to give up, and saw that his body was already half standing on the horse's back, his eyes were wide, one hand was tightly grasping the reins, and the other hand kept whipping the horse's neck, and his mouth roared: "Death to those who stand in my way!" "It looks like he's going to do his best.
"Oh my God, is this going to die together?" Summer Night was frightened by his crazy actions and thought, "No, I'd better jump off as soon as possible to save my life." ”
The horse, too, had gone mad by this time, and was frightened, and had lost its mind, and snorted, like a daredevil, and rushed towards the gate with no fate.
As soon as Xia Ye's eyes closed, she was about to jump down with her heart down, when she felt a sudden tightness on her waist, and then her body rose into the air, she suddenly opened her eyes, and saw herself spinning a few times in mid-air, and then gently falling to the ground. Turning around, a handsome young man, smiled at her nonchalantly, let go of her waist, those two tiger teeth made Xia Ye feel familiar, and was about to thank him for his rescue, only to hear a loud sound of "Peng", the black horse smashed the gate out of a pit, and the 'train' behind him was like a bursting fireball, the fire was shining, and a few pieces almost smashed into Xia Ye's body.
A cold sweat broke out behind the summer night, thinking that if he was still on the back of this horse, he was afraid that he would be torn apart like this carriage.
