Chapter 606: Assassination
As soon as Zhao Xiu entered the mansion, she heard from her subordinates that the prince was not in the mansion, which really gave her a chance. Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had instructed that if someone came to visit Lady Luo, she must be allowed to enter the Flying Snow Pavilion with her own consent. But because the county lord and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince already have a marriage contract, the people in the palace did not dare to stop her.
"It's just a temporary residence, not something that you can't get used to." With a wave of his hand, he asked the maids to withdraw all the food and ask them to prepare some tea and bring it. Luo Qingluan walked smoothly, just like in his own home, without the slightest uncomfortable appearance.
After gossiping for a while, Zhao Xiu began to cut straight to the topic: "I don't know who my wife is, why do you live alone in the Prince's Mansion?" ”
Luo Qingluan couldn't help but smile when he heard this, it was a fox that would show its tail after all. It turned out that the visit was fake, and it was true to inquire about his identity.
"I am a North Vietnamese person, and I have known the prince in the old days, and I was kidnapped by gangsters when I was out playing, but fortunately the prince rescued me, so I escaped from the tiger's mouth. Now that North Vietnam is in the midst of war, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is worried that I am not safe alone, so I am temporarily staying in the Prince's Mansion. I have to say that Luo Qingluan has a talent for making up stories, and casually speaking, it is a sad story.
Hearing Luo Qingluan say this casually, how could Zhao Xiu completely believe it. Pretending to be surprised, he asked, "Madame is pregnant, she must have been married, why don't you see your husband to save you?" ”
"As soon as my husband heard the news, he was angry, so he took people to seek revenge against the gangsters." Luo Qingluan said half-truthfully, but he didn't tell Zhao Xiu that this villain was still the emperor of Beiyue.
"Are there any other family members in the lady's family?" Zhao Xiu kept asking.
This reminded Luo Qingluan of his life experience, and he didn't know if he still had his relatives in the world, so he didn't even want to deal with Zhao Xiu anymore, and said bluntly: "If the county lord really wants to know, why not just ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ask?" ”
Zhao Xiu was taken aback, and hurriedly apologized: "Is Madam angry?" It's all my fault, I shouldn't mention Madame's sorrow, and if it's inconvenient, then I won't bother. ”
As she spoke, she got up and wanted to say something more to Luo Qingluan, but found that she didn't move at all. moved his mouth, and finally left without saying anything.
"You go and send it to the county lord." Luo Qingluan said coldly to a maid at this time, and then stopped paying attention to Zhao Xiu. Until she left the courtyard, Luo Qingluan didn't look at her again.
The maid got the order, escorted the county lord out of the mansion, and followed Zhao Xiu to the gate of the mansion without saying a word.
Seeing that he was about to arrive at the mansion gate, Zhao Xiu pretended to be aggrieved and said to the maid: "Is this Mrs. Luo so big in the mansion?" Seeing that people don't even stand up, is it so unruly in front of His Royal Highness the Prince? ”
After getting along in the past few days, the maids like Luo Qingluan very much, she is easy-going and has no shelves, she has never embarrassed people, and when she is in a good mood, she will tell them some interesting things outside.
Hearing the county lord say this, Luo Qingluan suddenly felt a little unhappy in his heart. But after all, she was just a maid, and she didn't dare to offend the county lord, so she said euphemistically: "Madame's body is just too heavy to get up, and I ask the county lord to forgive me." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Xiu was even more stunned, feeling that this Mrs. Luo was not simple, and even the subordinates of the Prince's Mansion began to protect her.
……
Since the last time Yong'an said that he had found a trace of Luo Qingluan, Nalan Ye concentrated most of the power of the Dark Night Hall in the territory of Southern Wei, trying to find her as soon as possible, but as time went on, there has been no definite news.
Nalan Ye, who was becoming more and more irritable, decided to attack the capital of Beiyue in one fell swoop and take down Bai Yixuan, so that Han Xun would have no chance to turn over, so that he could personally go to Southern Wei to find Luo Qingluan.
The army advanced and set up camp fifty miles outside the capital of North Vietnam. The Western Chu side sent people to give a war letter to the North Vietnamese soldiers in the city, saying that it was three days later, that is, the time to attack the city.
The battle book was sent to his hand, Bai Yixuan suddenly felt panicked after reading it, at this time, the Southern Wei reinforcements had not arrived, if Nalan Ye really attacked the city now, how could he have the strength to resist?
wrote many times to ask the second brother Lin Xiaochen to send troops to help, but he was told that "my father is old and in poor health, and it is not the time to be an enemy of Xichu." "For the sake of letting myself endure for a few more days. It was delayed again and again, and there was no agreement for a long time.
Now that he is under his nose, he may attack the city at any time. It makes her always scared, lest there is news of the siege ahead, how can she bear it?
Bai Yixuan hurriedly summoned his ministers to discuss the strategy of retreating from the enemy, but no one came up with a way. Looking at the courtiers who were talking and accusing each other, Bai Yixuan was even more angry in his heart.
"Shut up!" Bai Yixuan trembled with anger, stood up angrily and shouted, and the court was silent for an instant.
Bai Yixuan, who was in high spirits, staggered to the dragon chair, pointed at the courtiers with one hand and scolded: "A bunch of waste! It's okay to be intrigue on weekdays, but now at this time, it's still shirking responsibility. ”
The courtiers were silent, for fear of angering her. Kang Yuanda, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was named by Bai Yixuan and asked on the spot: "Kang Aiqing, as the secretary of the Ministry of War, now that the soldiers are in the city, what is the best way to retreat from the enemy?" ”
Kang Yuanda hurriedly walked out of the queue and replied respectfully: "Niangniang, this Xichu has won the battle in the limelight, and we have failed again and again, and now it can be said that we have no power to fight back, why don't we pretend to admit defeat and send someone to negotiate peace, Nalan Ye agrees to negotiate peace." Even if we can't make a deal, we can ......"
said that he made a gesture to wipe his neck, suggesting that Bai Yixuan could send someone to assassinate Nalan Ye. The moment Kang Yuanda lowered his head, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes. This Nalan night in Anqing raided his younger brother Kang Yuanguang's house, and killed his younger brother's whole family and hanged him on the city tower to show the public. If you don't avenge this revenge, under your own nine springs, how can you face the ancestors of the Kang family?
After thinking about it, Bai Yixuan felt that he could try, as long as Nalan Ye died, the Western Chu army would be leaderless. At that time, Xichu will not be in a hurry to attack the city, and he will have enough time to ask for reinforcements.
"This matter needs to be considered in the long run." Bai Yixuan was still a little hesitant, after all, if he failed, wouldn't it stimulate Nalan Ye's anger. If he had to forcibly attack the city, he would have no choice at all.
How could Kang Yuanda let go of such a good opportunity, knelt on the ground, and said hatefully: "Niangniang, let Weichen be the envoy of this peace negotiation." Nalan Ye wiped out my Kang clan in Anqing, this revenge will not be avenged, and Weichen will not be blind to death. Once she failed, Niangniang said that she was a minister who made her own decision and wanted to avenge her younger brother, and Nalan Ye had no way to blame. I hope that the mother will be fulfilled! ”
Hearing this, Bai Yixuan was very shocked, she didn't expect Kang Yuanda to be so bloody, and he didn't hesitate to sacrifice himself in order to avenge his family, which made her a little unbearable. But in this case, Nalan Ye really has no reason to blame himself.
"Kang Aiqing did not hesitate to sacrifice himself in order to avenge his family, which is really admirable to this palace. Lovely Qing is the pillar of the country, if it fails, it will not be a loss for North Vietnam? Bai Yixuan comforted Kang Yuanda with regret.
After thinking about it, he continued: "This palace has its own arrangements for this matter, so Kang Aiqing doesn't have to worry about it. ”
"Yes." Kang Yuanda pretended to sigh and retreated into the queue, and the Hubu Shangshu next to him secretly gave him a thumbs up, and a trace of pride flashed across Kang Yuanda's face.
He was gambling, betting on whether Bai Yixuan would sacrifice himself in public. Fortunately, he won the bet, and now is the time to employ people, if Bai Yixuan agrees to assassinate Nalan Ye by himself, then he will directly defect when he sees Nalan Ye. In the future, even if North Vietnam is defeated, he will still be able to save his life.
Early in the morning of the second day, Bai Yixuan announced to the ministers that she would send the chief administrator of the Great Interior to discuss peace with Nalan Ye and set off immediately.
Liu Dong, who is nominally the head of the Ouchi, is actually just an unlucky eunuch. Because Bai Yixuan threatened with his family's lives, he had to take a hard trip, and he was temporarily promoted to the head of the inner house.
When Liu Dong saw Nalan Ye, he told him according to Bai Yixuan's instructions that as long as he agreed to withdraw from the army, the conditions could be raised by him. Nalan sat there at night, unmoved.
Liu Dong had already guessed the result, but he had no choice but to take a pair of calligraphy and paintings and walk towards Nalan Ye, sneering as he walked: "The queen said that the princess of Chu likes calligraphy and painting, so she asked the slave maid to bring the picture of the fragrant concubine playing butterflies in the palace, and asked the king of Chu to take a look." In addition, Niangniang also asked the slave maid to prepare a silver tattoo of one million, as long as the king of Chu is willing to withdraw from the army......"
Before he finished speaking, at the moment when Liu Dong approached Nalan Ye, even Liu Dong didn't expect that one of the guards who were in charge of carrying the box behind him actually pulled out the dagger on his waist and stabbed Nalan Ye.
This speed is too fast, Liu Dong is simply stupid, at this moment he has only one thought - a small life!
Liu Dong didn't expect that there would be an ambush by his side to assassinate the master of Nalan Night, needless to say, this was naturally arranged by Bai Yixuan. Naturally, he couldn't see that the person who assassinated Nalan Ye was Lin Tianlang, the commander of the forbidden army beside Queen Bai Yixuan.
can be accepted by Bai Yixuan as a guest of the curtain, although it is because Lin Tianlang is dignified and somewhat similar to Lin Yixuan, but if he does not have some real skills, he is not qualified to make Bai Yixuan tempted.
From the moment Lin Tianlang made his move, Yuan Xing noticed it.
He had already made all the precautions to prevent a sneak attack when North Vietnam came to negotiate peace, and Yuan Xing kept an eye on the other party's every move at any time. When he saw Lin Tianlang's sneak attack, he sneered, and the long sword in his hand was instantly unsheathed and stabbed at the other party.
shot mercilessly, but the next moment the long sword in his hand was cut off by the other party's dagger, and when it fell to the ground with a bang, Yuan Xing's heart shook violently.
What a sharp dagger!
Lin Tianlang's eyes flashed with intense murderous intent, he had waited too long for this moment. He has never been willing to be a plaything behind a woman, he wants to use Bai Yixuan to get what he wants, assassinating Nalan Ye is the best opportunity, even if it can't be successful, but as long as he can seriously injure him, the goal will be achieved.
"Lord Wang, be careful!" Yong'an on the side was also shocked!
