Chapter 102: They all want to be emperors
When Ling Tiancheng saw Zhuang Siyan and them going out of the city, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
When it was his turn, all kinds of performances were natural, and even Jincheng's words could be smoothly coped with.
But the bad thing is that Ling Tiancheng is too special.
He is taller than everyone else, and his appearance is whiter than that of people here, coupled with Junlang's resolute facial features, even if Zhuang Siyan deliberately scandalized him.
But An Junhou had seen Ling Tiancheng, at least there would be no mistake in height.
The relative height of the people in the south will be shorter than that in the north, which invisibly hits the criteria for their selection.
Although the guards guarding the city did not recognize Ling Tiancheng's identity, they still detained him.
Qing Ran, who was following behind, saw that he was detained, of course he couldn't go out of the city, so he immediately leaned over.
But before he said a word, he was also held by the other party.
When Zhuang Siyan asked Qinglin to inquire at the gate of the city, they had already been taken away by the guards and taken to the mansion of An Junhou.
Qinglin got the news from the people who continued to go out of the city, and hurried back to report it.
Zhuang Siyan didn't think about it, and only had two words to everyone: "Go back to the city." ”
Qinglin clenched his fists and stopped her: "Madam, the master said, once you leave the city, let us escort you away, return to the capital, and discuss with Mr. Wen before finding a way." ”
Zhuang Siyan was not angry, turned his head to look at him and asked, "How long will it take to return to the capital from here?" ”
Qinglin: "If you hurry up, it will take seven or eight days." ”
"What is the result after discussing with Wen Qing? Didn't you save him? ”
Qinglin immediately said urgently: "That's not going to happen, Mr. Wen is wholeheartedly devoted to his master, and he will definitely come to save him." ”
"Okay, after discussing with Wen Qing, come and rescue him again, more than half a month has passed, do you think An Junhou will wait for us for so many days?
Right now, if we don't get out of the city, they're probably going to kill him.
When Wen Qing came, no matter how many people there were, no matter whether they won or lost, no one would be saved. ”
Qinglin was silent.
It's a fact.
But Ling Tiancheng had also told him that he was dead before, and asked them to escort Zhuang Siyan back first no matter what.
Zhuang Siyan saw that he didn't move, and his eyes suddenly became fierce: "Among you, if you don't want to enter the city, you can go back to the capital now, just say that I asked you to go back to report the news." ”
After speaking, he quickened his pace and walked towards the city gate.
When Qinglin heard this, his blood went up.
He was originally reckless in the rivers and lakes, and there was never a shortage of loyalty and blood, but now he was so provoked by Zhuang Siyan, he immediately hugged his fists and said: "Madam, since my subordinates have listened to Mr. Wen's order, they will definitely swear to protect the safety of their grandfather and wife." ”
They were outside, in order to cover up their identities, they temporarily erased the identities of Ling Tiancheng and Zhuang Siyan, and they were commensurate with their lord and wife.
Zhuang Siyan turned his head to look at them fixedly, didn't say anything more, and led them into the city.
The procedure for entering the city was much simpler than coming out, and they were separated from other fishermen, and went straight in without being questioned.
According to the results of the previous investigation, Zhuang Siyan and the others also quickly sneaked to the vicinity of the Anjun Houfu.
Ling Tiancheng and the others had already been brought in and locked up in the dungeon of the Military Waiting Mansion.
An Jun Hou Anli was bound to capture Ling Tiancheng, and he had already had ambitions, as long as he caught him, he would kill him immediately.
In this way, he could pounce from the south to the north, directly set off the Ling dynasty, and let him be in charge of the An clan.
However, Zhuang Changyuan's snobbery should not be underestimated, especially in the past two years, most of the military power has fallen into his hands.
If he really started, he would do his best to stand in the south, but once he went north, he would inevitably be controlled by Zhuang Changyuan.
Therefore, Anli sent people to Beijing to negotiate peace with Zhuang Changyuan a long time ago.
But he didn't expect that Zhuang Changyuan had the same ambition as him, and his goal was also the throne of the Ling family.
This gave An Li a headache, in this way, even if he killed Ling Tiancheng, Zhuang Changyuan was in the capital, and he had a long journey ahead of him, and he had an advantage over him.
And his daughter is still in the capital, which also makes him very restricted, and he still can't act rashly.
Ling Tiancheng asked Zhuang Siyan to go first, also taking this into consideration.
He was afraid that An Li would recognize Zhuang Siyan, so he directly held her in his hands and threatened Zhuang Changyuan.
Although Zhuang Changyuan will not compromise because of this daughter's matter, as long as this matter comes out, he will definitely speed up Anli's action against Zhuang Siyan.
It's just that he never expected that Zhuang Siyan would lead everyone back to Jincheng.
At this time, An Li was still hesitating whether to cut Ling Tiancheng down.
Cutting off someone is not a big deal for him, but once this person dies here, he is even further away from the throne.
Military advisor An Zhuo paid attention: "Master Hou, it is useful to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes to kill this deposed emperor before us." ”
An Li was silent for a while before asking, "But now that we are far away in the south, how can we order the princes?" ”
An Jie offered a plan: "Hou Ye can send soldiers and horses to escort Ling Tiancheng back to the dynasty, use him to suppress Zhuang Changyuan, first take back his military power, and then execute him, so that the world of the Ling family is the same as that of Hou Ye." ”
An Li shook his head: "Zhuang Changyuan was demoted out of Beijing last time, and the military power is still in his hands, it can be seen how wasteful this emperor is, and he can't do anything with him at all?"
We are now leading troops over, so what if Zhuang Changyuan sees that the throne is not guaranteed, and strikes first? ”
This is a big problem, they are afraid of being swallowed by Zhuang Changyuan if they go forward, and there is no way back to retreat.
But no matter what, Ling Tiancheng couldn't let it out again.
The operation of hunting and killing the emperor, once it starts, there is no turning back, and a fool can imagine it, once Ling Tiancheng is free, then he will inevitably eradicate An Li.
Although Ling Tiancheng also thought so now, Anli didn't know about it, and for the sake of his good to his daughter, he thought that Ling Tiancheng was still more merciful, or more afraid of him Anli.
Such a hesitation is a day or two after the time has passed.
Ling Tiancheng was in the dungeon of Anli, calculating that Zhuang Cisco should be about to leave the border of Jincheng at this time.
As long as she gets out of this place, Anritsu will no longer be able to take her.
But the real situation is that Zhuang Siyan has already turned into a maid in Anfu, and is inquiring about Ling Tiancheng's whereabouts.
At the same time, he also turned Qinglin and them into guards of the Marquis of Anjun's mansion in order to respond to each other.
At this time, makeup has played a role that cannot be ignored.
In order not to attract the attention of others, they all look for people who are similar to their own body, and then put on similar makeup to their faces, which is no different from changing faces.
In this way, unless you talk deeply, it is difficult for others to find out that they have changed.
Zhuang Siyan's identity is not immutable, she learned that there was a dungeon in Anfu from the maid who served tea and disappeared, so she automatically changed her identity and intended to contact the dungeon.
When delivering food to the prison, he successfully found Ling Tiancheng's location, but he was specially imprisoned and had chains on his hands and feet.
These things are not difficult for Zhuang Siyan.
The difficulty is that there are a lot of guards in the entire dungeon, and there are also constant patrols.
This made her have no time to rescue Ling Tiancheng at all, and even if she did, it would be difficult to take her out.
I didn't rush to do it, and after meeting with Qinglin and them, I discussed the matter carefully.
Those reckless men all supported smashing the cell door directly, and ran away with people.
Zhuang Siyan glanced straight into the sky.
So what if you can run out, there will be ghosts? Anli is not an idiot, and the entire Junhou Mansion is like an iron bucket.
If you force it, it will be difficult for a mosquito to fly out of it.
The only way they can do it is to take a shortcut.
But no matter how clever things are, they can't match too many people on the other side.
This incident stumped Zhuang Siyan, she had to plan everything well, and there could be no mistakes, because once they missed, their lives would really be difficult to say.
In the heart-wrenching waiting, the opportunity finally came.
This opportunity is the Shangyuan Festival of the Marquis of Anjun's Mansion.
The people of Jincheng attach great importance to the Shangyuan Festival, not to mention the rich and noble, that is, ordinary ordinary people, on this day, they will also put down all the work in their hands, worship their ancestors in the morning, feast at noon, and go to the lantern festival at night.
This festival is almost equivalent to the annual festival in the north.
The New Year Festival of the people of Jincheng is relatively simple, so although Zhuang Siyan and the others have been in the city and know that it is the New Year's Festival, they have not felt the slightest festive atmosphere.
The atmosphere of thick ink and color all rushed to the Shangyuan Festival.
Early in the morning, before dawn, there were people coming and going in the mansion of the Marquis of Anjun, there were many guards on both sides, and the maids and maids were even more busy and couldn't stop.
Anri took his relatives and rushed to the temple to worship.
Zhuang Siyan immediately sensitively discovered that their opportunity was here.
Everyone, including the people in the dungeon, was also to be sacrificed, but they were all done in the dungeon.
But everyone gathered in one place, which brought Zhuang Siyan an opportunity.
She sneaked in early in the morning, took advantage of those people to sacrifice, took a thin iron wire, and opened the iron chain in Ling Tiancheng's hand.
Fortunately, he was not beaten or injured, which made it easier for them to escape.
Qing Ran was locked up not far from him, and after Zhuang Siyan rescued the two of them, with their help, he put two more people in by the way and dressed up as them.
This way it is not easy to be discovered.
And Ling Tiancheng and Qing Ran became guards, and when the sacrifice in the prison was over, the two of them followed the other guards and walked outside.
This time, Ling Tiancheng had already learned to be smart, and he walked hunched over to hide his height.
Zhuang Siyan put a lot of effort into it, and directly turned him into an ugly monster.
When doing these things, they didn't have verbal communication, they all relied on eye interaction, so although Ling Tiancheng blamed Zhuang Siyan for not running away, he didn't say a word at this time.
When the three of them came out of the dungeon smoothly, the An family's extra-long sacrificial ceremony was over, and he came back with people and almost met Ling Tiancheng and them.
Fortunately, there were a lot of people and a lot of noise, and many officials from Jincheng were also caught in it.
Ban Lian was standing next to Anritsu when Anritsu's eyes looked at Ling Tiancheng and them.
Ban Lian immediately took a step forward: "Master Hou, look over there." ”
Anri turned his gaze and saw a guard of Anfu flashing behind a tree, not knowing what he was doing.
"Go to the two of them and see who they are and what they are doing?"
Immediately, two guards obeyed the order and left, and when An Li turned around again, Ling Tiancheng and them had already walked out.
Maybe he was too confident in his dungeon, so he didn't suspect it and went straight inside.
