Chapter Seventy-Eight: Holding the County Lord Hostage

It's night, the stars are speechless, and the night is beautiful!

There was a tryst between the palace maid and the guards under the moon, Hong Ying had nothing to do, all the way to the lotus pond, and saw a lot of palace maids coming out untidy, she didn't care, after all, the palace is so big, there are only a few men, who is not lonely?

But because of this, she missed Chu Luo a little more in her heart, and she never knew that missing someone would aggravate the loneliness in her heart. She cursed Chu Luo with some resentment: "Chu Luo is a big villain! ”

Chu Luo, who was reading the official documents at night in the Xiangfu Mansion, sneezed violently, he raised his head, and the cool moonlight sprinkled into the study, and the burning red candles in the study were wantonly displayed, and with the cold wind coming in, they sneered and danced, like Hongying was venting on him.

He smiled knowingly, and with the longing in his heart, he went to the north, where Hong Ying was staying now, and he didn't know how she was now.

Hongying looked at the carp under the lantern for a long time, because the spring water was warm, under the illumination of the lantern, a faint red bubble appeared, like a dense fairy qi, swirling around Hongying, but she felt that the fog was stuffy and she panicked, she threw the lantern irritably, and walked back in the dark......

In the dark night, a pair of eyes stared at her tightly......

As soon as Hong Ying returned to the house, before she could close the door, she heard the guard say in a loud voice: "There are assassins...... and there is a burst of swords and swords that are close to each other......

Hong Ying was startled, and hurriedly said to the flustered maid in the courtyard: "Let's go to the concubine!" ”

Before she could finish speaking, the Imperial Forest Army surrounded her courtyard, and the commander of the Imperial Forest Army said: "Don't panic, the subordinate has a black-clothed man passing through the lotus pond, and he has received a sword ...... from his subordinate."

"Ah......" Hongying said rather depressedly, "Since there are assassins, you will go and arrest them, why do you fence my yard?" ”

"If you go back to the county lord, the thief has fled to the county lord......" the commander said with a twinkle in his eyes.

Hong Ying said in her heart that they must be looking for something from her, if one is not careful, it is unknown if they are planted and blamed, so she said cautiously: "Since you have escaped, why don't you catch it at this moment, the county lord will have such a life, if the county lord dies for no reason, who of you will bear the ground?" ”

The commander of the Imperial Forest Army was as happy as if he had received a holy decree, and said, "The county lord has agreed to let us search the courtyard?" ”

"The lord of this county doesn't have this right, after all, this is the territory of the concubine......" Hong Ying said this, and the commander took the step back stiffly, just as there was an inner attendant outside: "The concubine has arrived!" ”

Everyone hurriedly kowtowed: "The concubine Niangniang Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose......

"Why bother with all this red tape, Assassin?" The concubine asked.

The commander clenched his fists and apologized: "The subordinates are incompetent, let the assassin escape here, please punish the concubine!" Hong Ying also said urgently: "Concubine, the most important thing now is to catch the assassin." ”

"Yes." The concubine nodded and said, "It's just the boudoir of my daughter's family, it's inconvenient for this group of old men to search, how can this be good?" ”

"The courtiers are not afraid of criticism from others!" Hong Ying spoke first and said, "I'm not afraid of death!" As she spoke, she lifted the hem of her skirt and walked cautiously towards the boudoir......

The commander of the Royal Forest Army hurriedly said: "The county lord ......"

"What does the Lord Archon have to teach you?" Hong Ying squinted and smiled, and asked rhetorically.

The commander was slightly stunned, after all, at this juncture, he categorically couldn't blame Hong Ying for talking about the assassins, otherwise their intentions would be obvious, but if Hong Ying protected him at this moment, he couldn't help it. So he had no choice but to say: "The county lord can't be in danger, so let the palace maid and eunuch come, right?" ”

Hong Ying waved her hand and said, "Why take the lives of others? With these words, she bribed all the palace maids and eunuchs in the courtyard, and they were worried that Hong Ying would bring disaster to them, but when they heard Hong Ying say this, they all felt that they were a little selfish, and they all bowed their heads in shame.

Hong Ying cautiously pushed open the door, and a pungent smell of blood spread through her nose, which could not be dispersed, and she knew that the assassin must have clenched the blade in his hand at this time, ready to strike a fatal blow at her.

Because she was far away from everyone, Hong Ying was in a hurry and said, "Although I don't know if we are friends or enemies, if you and I want to live, why don't we join forces?" ”

Sure enough, a voice said in a low voice, "Why should I believe you?" ”

"Because there's no way back for you!" Hong Ying directly pointed out his situation, and he thought for a moment before he said, "Okay, but you have to answer me a question first." ”

"What's the problem?"

"Where did you get the red jade on you?" The man was obviously very interested in Hong Yingluo, but he didn't know whether he was friend or foe, Hong Ying didn't dare to expose Chu Luo, so he had to say, "I picked it up casually." ”

"You lie, there are only two strings of red Yingluo in this world, one string is in Jin Xiangxiang's hands, and the other string is on the prince's body, where did you pick it up?" The man was extremely sure, and Hong Ying was a little surprised and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"I am the prince's personal guard after the incident that year!" The man hurriedly asked, "Tell me, where is the prince?" "Hong Ying is calculating that the master who can break through the encirclement of hundreds of guards must not be an ordinary master, if he can make full use of his surplus value, he will definitely be able to make a head.

So Hong Ying smiled and said: "Who knows if you are friend or foe, if you know and kill me, I will have nowhere to complain, it is better for us to join forces to escape this catastrophe first, and then Kyoto Ethereal Pavilion round, even if I don't know where the prince is, there should be someone in Ethereal Pavilion who knows!" ”

The man thought about it and thought about it, and felt that her words were reasonable, so he said, "Okay, how to join forces?" ”

"Take me hostage!" The man jumped down from the beam of the house, slashed the blood-stained blade at Hongying's neck, and shouted at the guard: "The county lord is in my hands, you all step back for me!" ”

The commander didn't expect that after Hong Ying entered, he actually became the hostage of the assassin, but the concubine was here, if he couldn't save the county lord, he was afraid that the emperor would send them all down, he gritted his teeth and said to the assassin: "Let go of the county lord, we will spare your life!" ”

"Let go? Joke, if you let her go, you will definitely fight in groups, and you will all give me weapons still on the ground, quick! The Assassin said viciously, slicing a red wound on her delicate neck.

Hongying was a little pained, grinding her teeth and saying, "You are real!" ”

"It's not enough to deter the Guards!" The assassin said coldly.

Hong Ying said indignantly: "Who knows if the person you cut has an emergency, if it infects me, you don't want to know the whereabouts of the prince!" "Hong Ying has three doubts, the assassin keeps saying that the prince has a string of red Yingluo, so could the prince be Chu Luo? But no matter how Chu Luo looks at it, he doesn't have the royal temperament of a family!

The Royal Forest Army, you look at me, I look at you, and finally they all look at the commander and ask, "The county lord is in his hands, should we lay down our arms?" ”

The commander knew that more than half of these people were not the people of King Pingnan, and under pressure, he had to ask the concubine, "Niangniang, what do you think?" ”

"Throw your weapons to the ground!" The concubine ordered directly and said, "You don't want to hurt Hongying." ”

Watching the Guards throw their weapons in and out, the assassin moved the blade away from Hong Ying's neck, and Red Ying rolled her eyes and said, "Am I supposed to thank you?" ”

"Whatever!" The Assassin was ruthless again.

Hongying was completely speechless.

The assassin held Hongying hostage and retreated all the way to the east gate of the harem, where he put it in Hongying's ear and said, "Do you want to leave the palace?" ”

"Sending Buddha to the Western ......"

The assassin then held Hongying hostage and retreated outside the palace, and finally he couldn't see the shadow of the Royal Forester, so he let Hongying go, but hesitated for a moment, put the blade on her neck, and asked, "Tell me, where is the prince?" ”

"Because you have a bad attitude, I have no comment!" Hongying was very angry at his backsliding, just sitting lazily on the stone, lazily pretending to be her fingers.

"Your life is in my hands!" The Assassin threatened her again.

"So what?" Hong Ying lazily retorted: "The information you want is in my head, and it's up to you whether I say it or not!" ”

The assassin put down his blade in a dejected manner and said, "What a offense! ”

With that, he hurried into the air and jumped over the trees......

Hong Ying sat on the stone again and counted her fingers helplessly, thinking about her true identity at the moment while counting, most of the information in the Ethereal Pavilion is some big and small things that have happened over the years, and even some evidence of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, if she likes it, she can rebel against many officials, although the rise and fall of the world is responsible, but the general trend of the world really has nothing to do with her, a mentally handicapped woman from the countryside, if Chu Luo is pulled in, then it is another matter!

After thinking about it, in order to ensure Chu Luo's safety, Hong Ying finally made up her mind to fight all the power of the Ethereal Pavilion to ensure that Chu Luo was safe!

When the Imperial Guards searched the bushes, Hong Ying was still sitting there counting her fingers, and when she saw them, she smiled and said, "You are finally here, I have counted to 18,000......

The Foresters who had come to escort her fainted on the spot......

The concubine invited all the imperial doctors of the imperial hospital to bandage her wounds with good anti-inflammatory, and even called the spirit king, who had been thinking behind closed doors, into the palace to diagnose the wound for Hong Ying.

After all, in her eyes, Hongying is also half a daughter, and Tian'er is interested in her, if possible, she may be her daughter-in-law, and caring about her daughter-in-law is what it should be.

Chu Luo, Sima Ting and others heard the news, and the next day they urgently entered the palace, leading the doctors in their respective mansions to enter the palace one after another to check the pulse of Hong Ying. Since Hong Ying was brought back by the Imperial Forest Army, she has been pinched countless times by the imperial doctors who have come in and out, where can her small body in the countryside withstand such a toss?

She simply pretended to be unconscious, so that those doctors couldn't see what illness she had, who knew what the men thought she was infected with, and tossed her even harder......
