Chapter 209: Flying Shadow Injured
In order to drive Feiying and Feiluan and the others away, the family members of these officials sat at the door like shrews and cried.
People who came and went on the street watched from a distance when they saw what happened in the mansions of the officials who had recently died.
Feiying, Feiluan and the others, listening to the crying at the door of these mansions, and seeing the strange eyes of pedestrians coming and going, all had a headache.
"Withdraw first."
Flying Shadow frowned and commanded in a deep voice.
After receiving Feiying's instructions, Feiluan and the others followed Feiying and returned to the Ming Palace, ready to think of other methods.
"Feiluan, you take someone to ask the person in charge of performing the autopsy on these officials, and bring back the detailed records of these people's bodies. I'll take people to the mansions to keep watch, and no matter what, there must be no more dead people tonight. ”
Feiying looked at Feiluan, who was carefully studying the topographical map of the capital, and assigned the tasks that the two of them were responsible for.
"There are so many official residences in the capital, and you don't know who they are tonight, how can you guard against it?"
Hearing Feiying's words, Feiluan raised his head and asked softly.
"Although there are many official residences, they are all concentrated in the south and east of the city. Tonight, I will take the cadres and keep one place. As soon as you notice something suspicious, you will immediately notify others with signal fireworks. ”
Feiying frowned when she heard Feiluan's words.
He didn't know what Feiluan meant, they didn't know who the officials were tonight, and blindly guarding it was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. Even if the cadres are really dispatched, they may not be able to really catch them.
But if they sit back like this, once one more person dies tonight, the prince will inevitably be questioned by the emperor. With the attitude of the emperor and the crown prince towards the prince, the prince will inevitably have to suffer some hardships.
"Look here."
Feiluan did not comment on Feiying's approach. Just pointed to the topographic map of the capital in front of him and let Feiying see it.
Feiying walked to Feiluan's side and looked down at the topographic map of the capital that Feiluan had been looking at for a long time.
I saw that on the topographic map, a few circles were drawn with a red pen. In addition to this, there are four or five crosses drawn with red pens.
"These crosses are the hands of our own people, and we don't care about him for the time being. Let's take a look at these circles first, and see if you can see what the problem is. ”
Feiluan pointed to the markers on the topographic map of the capital and looked up at Feiying.
Hearing Feiluan say this, Feiying took a closer look at the places where he circled with a red pen.
When he saw one of those red circles, his eyebrows furrowed together.
"This is it."
Seeing that Feiying had discovered a problem on the topographic map of the capital, Feiluan took a red pen and smoothly connected the locations of all the official residences that died mysteriously, and finally formed a closed circle on the topographic map of the capital. Then, in the place where Flying Shadow found, a conspicuous triangle was drawn.
"I see."
Feiying nodded to Feiluan, and then turned around and went out to arrange the defense range for tonight.
The place where Feiluan just drew the triangle is the location of the Prince's Mansion. I didn't find it before, but after being marked out by Feiluan one by one, almost all of the mansions where the officials who died mysteriously were located near the prince's mansion.
Because the branches are too scattered, it is impossible to see that the mansions of these officials are around the prince's mansion. If Feiluan hadn't deliberately pointed it out for him to see, it is estimated that he would not have found it at all.
That night, Flying Shadow sent all the shadow guards of the cadres out, divided into dozens of squads, and stood guard near the mansions of all the officials inside the red circle.
About two o'clock in the morning, a short man in black hid in the darkness and quietly sneaked towards the mansion of General Lin of the city defense battalion.
With the help of the big tree outside the house, the short man in black easily climbed into the courtyard wall.
After entering the courtyard wall, I saw that the man in black went straight to the bedroom of General Lin of the city defense camp as if he had entered a no-man's land.
When he arrived at the door, the man in black took out a small dagger, inserted it through the crack in the door, and skillfully pried open the door bolt in the room.
There was a hint of loosening of the dagger in his hand, and the man in black put away the dagger, pushed open the door, and cautiously walked into the room.
When he arrived at the couch and looked at the sleeping man on the bed, a sneer flashed in the eyes of the man in black.
Reaching into the placket of his clothes, the man in black took out a porcelain vase, and was about to sprinkle the contents of the porcelain vase on the body of the man on the bed, when his wrist was suddenly grabbed.
The man in black was shocked, and looked down at the hand on his wrist, and met a pair of eyes in the dark.
Taking out the dagger that he had just put away, the man in black slashed at the arm of the man on the bed.
As soon as the man on the bed let go of his hand, he jumped and rolled out of the bed behind the man in black. With a backhand claw, he grabbed the right hand of the man in black.
The man in black looked sideways, and through the faint moonlight, he finally saw the man's face clearly.
It turned out to be him, the flying shadow next to King Ming! How could he know that she was coming here tonight, and she was here in advance.
Shadow grabbed the arm of the man in black, and reached out to remove the black veil that the man in black was covering.
Seeing that he was restrained, the man in black, who couldn't dodge, had a dark look in his eyes, and sprinkled the poison in the porcelain bottle that he hadn't had time to use in the direction of the flying shadow.
The porcelain bottle contained liquid poison, and even if the Flying Shadow dodged in time and the speed was fast enough, some of it still spilled on his body.
The man in black saw that Feiying was hit, and with a backkick, he forced Feiying behind him to retreat. Then he took advantage of the flying shadow to quickly escape from the room.
Feiying wanted to chase after him, but found that a sharp pain suddenly began to spread all over his body, even if he had been seriously injured countless times, it was difficult to move an inch at this time. His heart was gripping tightly by something, making it extremely difficult for him to breathe.
Flying Shadow gritted her teeth and stood up, stumbling out the door. However, as soon as he stepped out of the room, a dazzling burst of fire came from a distance.
"Come on, catch the assassin, don't let him escape."
The noise was particularly evident in the silence of the night, and the poisoned Flying Shadow saw that he was unable to escape, so he took out the fireworks signal from his bosom and transmitted the signal to the other shadow guards who were guarding nearby.
The shadow guards who were guarding nearby saw the fireworks signal transmitted by the flying shadow, and immediately headed towards the location of the flying shadow.
Seeing Feiying's face full of pain and being tied up by five flowers, these shadow guards immediately divided into two groups, one went to stop these people from the General's Mansion from doing anything to Feiying, and the other went back to the Ming Wangfu to inform Feiluan and Xiao Zhihan.
"What? Flying Shadow was caught? ”
Hearing what the shadow guard who came to report said, a touch of surprise appeared on Feiluan's face.
The leaders of the second division of Qiankun were all selected through layers of competition, and with the ability of Feiying, even if there was an accident, they would definitely not be caught by a subordinate in an official's mansion.
"What the hell is going on?"
Feiluan frowned and asked the shadow guard in front of him.
"When the subordinates and others arrived, the Flying Shadow Commander had already been captured. The people in General Lin Shen's mansion surrounded the Flying Shadow Commander tightly, and we couldn't see the specific situation, so we could only guess that the Flying Shadow Commander didn't have any power to fight back now. ”
The Shadow Guard lowered his head and spoke out what he saw.
In fact, he didn't see much, and after seeing that Feiying was taken down, for the sake of the prince, they couldn't just fight hard, so he came back directly with a few people. So he didn't know exactly what the situation was now.
"Lead the way."
Hearing the shadow guard's words, Feiluan's face sank, and he stood up and commanded the shadow guard in a deep voice.
Seeing that Feiluan was about to rescue Feiying, the shadow guard breathed a sigh of relief, immediately stood up, and walked out with Feiluan.
When he walked to the gate of King Ming's Mansion, he happened to meet with several other shadow guards who had gone to inform Xiao Zhihan.
"Get on the horse."
Xiao Zhihan turned over and rode on the horse, looked at Feiluan who came out, and said in a deep voice.
Feiluan nodded, jumped into the horse, and jumped onto the horse.
Looking at Xiao Zhihan's back and thinking of the various things that had happened in the palace recently, Feiluan couldn't help but feel sour.
She and Feiying have been with the prince since they were children, and at that time, the prince's situation was extremely difficult, and she and Feiying, as the people around the prince, were not much better.
But during that period, the prince's temperament was not as good as it is now, even if he fought for his life, he had to protect her and Feiying. Between them, not only the master and servant, but also a past of dependence on each other.
It is precisely because of the prince's protection and care for her that she will have thoughts about the prince that she should not have. She knew her identity and couldn't be worthy of the prince, so she could only accompany her silently on the side.
She also thought about what the future princess would look like. The one who can match the prince should be a woman with unparalleled elegance in the world.
Therefore, when she learned that there was a Yan Xi by the prince's side, she immediately took someone to Fengcheng to pick up the prince. However, before she arrived in Fengcheng, she heard many rumors about Yan Xi.
Among those rumors, Yan Xi's status is humble, his demeanor is frivolous, and he has no respect for the prince. Such a Yan Xi is not worthy of the prince in her eyes.
For the prince, it doesn't hurt to have three wives and four concubines. If the prince really likes it, let that Yan Xi be a concubine or something by the prince's side, she is not unacceptable. But she never expected that the prince would drive her back to the capital for Yan Xi, and even dispatched the eight departments of the Ming Wangfu to find Yan Xi who was missing.
Because of these things, she paid more and more attention to Yan Xi, so she asked the shadow guards of Kunbu to help her find all kinds of things about Yan Xi.
The moment she learned that Yan Xi had poisoned the prince and ran away with another man, she couldn't tolerate Yan Xi. Therefore, when she learned that Yan Xi had returned to the prince and was treated by the prince as a princess, she could no longer hold back the dissatisfaction with Yan Xi in her heart.
asked Mama Zhang to change Yan Xi's residence, and privately provoked the shadow guards and subordinates of the Ming Palace's palace to alienate Yan Xi, and even didn't give Yan Xi face in front of the prince......
She thought that this would force Yan Xi back, but she didn't expect to hurt herself.
Because of those things, she was directly transferred away from the prince's side. If it weren't for Feiying being captured this time, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to see the prince.
"Appeal ......"
The sound in his ears brought Feiluan back to his senses from his chaotic thoughts.
Seeing that Xiao Zhihan brought people to come, the subordinates who were guarding in front of General Lin Shen's mansion were like great enemies. A cowering little guy turned around and ran towards the backyard the moment he saw Xiao Zhihan.
"His Royal Highness King Ming came late at night, I don't know why?"
The housekeeper of General Lin Shen's Mansion led people to block the way of Xiao Zhihan, Feiluan and the others, staring at them with unfriendly faces.
This King Ming is so arrogant, he sent someone to the mansion to assassinate and was caught, and now he dares to come in person?
