Chapter 84: Withdrawal of troops
The guard withdrew his hand, and Xiao Changge took advantage of this time to plunge into the water, and the long arrow fell into the water like dense rain.
It's a pity that he was still a little slower, and an arrow stabbed Xiao Changge in the shoulder.
In pain, she frowned, her eyes were closed, and she was holding her breath.
The blood on the surface of the river was stained, and the long arrow was still pierced on Xiao Changge's shoulder, but the more it hurt, the more it made her nervous, she definitely couldn't die in this kind of place!
If she gets caught, she'll have no choice but to die!
"Quick, she's hit by an arrow and injured, and she won't be able to run far!"
The moon shone slightly, shining on the ground, and the blood stains on the surface of the lake could be faintly seen, a piece of crimson, dyeing the river red.
The water of the lake had always been clear, but now it was dyed with other colors by the blood, but it was beautiful in the weak moonlight.
For example, like a red lotus raised in a pool of blood, it is beautiful and soul-catching.
When the guards heard that the assassin had been wounded, their morale soared, and they even moved a few steps faster than before.
This is an assassin, and he is a girl, it is easy to catch, if he is caught and handed over to His Majesty, it will definitely be promoted and rich!
So when they have this opportunity, why don't they do it?
All of a sudden, another group of guards plunged into the water, plopping, but the shadow of the assassin was gone.
"Search along this river, and never let go of a suspicious person!"
The head of the guards shouted, and the guards behind him searched not only from the river, but also on the riverbank.
The river ran straight into the city, and the city was so crowded that it would be even more difficult to find it, and the only way was for her to catch the Assassin before he could escape.
If she fled to the city, it would be difficult to catch her.
"Chase, chase!"
The footsteps are neat, and there is a cracking sound when stepping on the grass.
The river has always been short of people, not to mention the morning, but even this evening.
And there are more people in the evening than in the morning, and if you go a little further, you can see that the river is brightly lit and the lanterns are hung high, and it is very lively, no less than on the day of the beggar festival.
And there are many people who lack boats in the river, and the boats are crowded, and even the past has to be humble, which shows how crowded the river is, and how lively this person is.
"Commander Ye, what should I do now?"
Standing beside Ye Ziyuan alone, his eyes were so red that he could see it clearly even in the dark night, and that face was even more hideous.
They were so frightened that they stood in front of him, and they had to weigh a few points when they spoke.
"Sou, don't even let go of the boat! Whoever dares to resist must be a thief with a weak heart and arrest him! ”
Ye Ziyuan said coldly, those blood-red eyes swept towards the lively street market, and he must not let go of that stinky girl.
He Ye Ziyuan is the leader, how can he lose to a woman?
"Commander Ye, Your Majesty is looking for you, if you don't go back, how can the old slave explain to Your Majesty."
Xiao Xizi stomped her feet, even her hands were shaking, and she looked nervous.
If this is delayed, I am afraid that His Majesty will not even let him go.
"If this assassin has not been caught, how can I go back! I hope you will tell Your Majesty, only if you catch the assassin, Ziyuan will have the face to go back! ”
Ye Ziyuan said to Xiao Xizi, when Xiao Xizi saw Ye Ziyuan's persistent appearance, he was so anxious that he didn't know what to say.
This is really the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry, Ye Ziyuan is not afraid, but he is afraid.
He still remembered how Emperor Chu looked when he said this to him, and he was so frightened that he immediately rushed to find Ye Ziyuan.
But Ye Ziyuan is also a stubborn person, and he refuses to go back to recover his life if he doesn't catch the assassin.
Xiao Xizi regretted in her heart, how could she catch up with such an errand!
Now those ministers and princes and concubines are waiting in the imperial garden, and His Majesty is also waiting for Ye Ziyuan to give him an explanation, Ye Ziyuan is not in a hurry.
"Ouch Commander Ye, don't make it difficult for the old slave."
Xiao Xizi almost cried, Ye Ziyuan touched the ring on his hand and couldn't help but clench.
He didn't believe he couldn't find the woman!
"Commander Ye."
The guards below shouted Ye Ziyuan, looked panicked, and whispered a few words in his ear.
Ye Ziyuan gritted his teeth, his face twisted.
"Alright, you can go down."
Ye Ziyuan waved his hand, and those people continued to search.
On the boat, the guards lifted the curtains one by one, and the people sitting on the boat were frightened.
And these people were dressed in guard clothes, and it was not difficult to guess where they came from, even if they were frightened, they did not dare to be angry.
That's the palace guards, who are the people in the palace obeying? That's Your Majesty, who would dare to go against the Son of Heaven?
But there was only one ship, and the man was very cooperative with the search of the guards.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know who you are searching for with such a big formation?"
Xiao Changle poked his head out, glanced at the other guards on the boat, and had some bottom in his heart, guessing that something was going on in the palace.
"Hmph, how can we allow you to come here to ask!"
The guard snorted, but when he looked at Xiao Changle, he had a hint of inquiry, and his eyes changed.
Xiao Changle's eyes narrowed, and he saw the guards slowly coming forward, stretching out his hand and not knowing what he wanted to do.
This look, even if it is a smile and a smile, is like seducing people.
"What do you want to do, our young lady can be the second young lady of the Xiao family, if you dare to touch a single hair of our young lady, my master will definitely not spare you!"
Li'er protected Xiao Changle and looked angrily at the squinting guard in front of him.
There is only one Xiao family in this capital, which is the Xiao family of Xiao Yongde, the general of Chu State, and the talent and beauty of the second lady of the Xiao family are also known to the whole capital.
Because the woman in front of me is very beautiful.
The pair of watery eyes seemed to be about to drop tears, bright eyes and bright teeth, as beautiful as a fairy in a painting.
This action is like a startled deer, which is even more pitiful.
Such a woman can be called everyone's best girl, and even if they don't have anything to prove it, they will believe what the maid in front of them said.
"It turned out to be Miss Xiao Er, disrespectful and disrespectful."
This person's position in this group of guards should be quite big, so he dares to do this to Xiao Le.
Seeing Li'er say this, the guard immediately put on a disrespectful expression, and Xiao Changle nodded at him.
"Fang Cai Changle didn't report his surname, which made the official misunderstood, Changle apologized, but why did he suddenly have so many guards? But what happened in the palace? ”
Xiao Changle raised his eyebrows, and looked at the guard with those bright eyes and asked, and the guard was a little fascinated by these eyes.
1510 told what happened in the palace in a few words.
Xiao Changle listened quietly, frowning from time to time.
"The assassin incident in the palace is a big deal, you officials have to catch this assassin, you can check it, so as to show Changle's innocence."
Xiao Changle said with concern, took a few steps back to make way out of the way, the guard nodded, looked at it for a while, and then retreated.
The person in front of him was the second lady of the Xiao family, and he seemed to be very weak, not the hateful assassin.
"Second Miss, this place is not suitable for you to stay, you better go back earlier, and the little one will retire first."
The guard said respectfully, it was really different from the previous appearance, he was so arrogant before, and he looked at Xiao Changle with a face, but now he was respectful.
"Okay, Changle will go back now."
Xiao Changle didn't say anything else, and the guards quietly retreated when they saw Xiao Changle say this.
But when he went out, Xiao Changle's face changed instantly.
"Miss, let's go back first, it doesn't seem safe here."
Li'er was relieved to see the guards leaving, she thought that the guards were going to be strong!
There was something wrong with the guard's eyes when she looked at her young lady, but fortunately she said it early, otherwise the guard might have done something to her young lady.
"I don't know which assassin is so bold as to dare to assassinate His Majesty, and he is still a woman."
Xiao Changle hooked his lips and chuckled, and he had to admire the assassin in his heart.
was able to make so many guards leave the palace, and in order to chase her.
However, with such a stirring up of the army, and the status of the people on this boat is not low, the assassination of Emperor Chu tomorrow will definitely spread throughout the capital.
"Ouch, no matter who this woman is, anyway, miss, let's go first, lest we be suspected."
Li'er was anxious when he heard this, what if he was suspected? Will they be detained as well?
If it were someone else, she wouldn't be afraid, but it was the emperor of the Chu State who was assassinated, and she would be disgusted if she was not careful.
"Afraid of what? Let's sit upright, and if we leave, it will make people suspicious. ”
Xiao Changle said slowly, and after speaking, he sat down in his place and continued to fiddle with the tea set.
She wanted to see what kind of female assassin could even Commander Ye, who had just taken office, personally dispatched, and then looked at this battle, but one-fifth of the guards in this palace were dispatched.
In other words, there are at least a few hundred guards here, and these people are just trying to catch an assassin, isn't it ridiculous to say it?
Seeing Xiao Changle say this, Li'er also stood behind her and waited for nothing more.
She is a subordinate, and the person in front of her is her master, and what this master says is what he is.
"Search, search!"
The torches on the riverbank were not extinguished, and they were burning brightly, illuminating the entire riverbank.
But the people in the boat were alarmed by this, and there was a lot of noise around them.
"Commander, I can't find it."
A guard bowed his head and prayed, Ye Ziyuan's hands were clenched, and his face became gloomy.
"Commander, there are a lot of people here, it's not good for our brothers to look for it like this, the people in this boat are already protesting, if this matter reaches His Majesty's ears, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public, let's withdraw first."
From the beginning to now, she has been searching for half an hour, but she has not found the whereabouts of the female assassin, and I am afraid that someone outside here will pick her up and leave.
Looking at it now, most of the young ladies and sons in the boat are from official families, and if they really let those adults above have a ginseng, I am afraid that it will not be good for Ye Ziyuan.
And now that Emperor Chu is angry, it's best not to be too ostentatious.
"That's right, Commander Ye, let's go back first."
Xiao Xizi on the side rolled her eyes and immediately stepped forward.
He is so anxious now, if Ye Ziyuan doesn't return to the palace again, His Majesty will blame him, and he can't afford it!
Ye Ziyuan was unwilling, but now this situation can't help him to mess around anymore.
After thinking about it for a long time, he said quietly.
"Withdraw your troops, go back to the palace!"
Those eyes are full of unwillingness, very unwillingness!
was tricked like this by a woman.
"Yes!"
