Chapter 318: Before You Do It
Looking at a remnant leaf hanging by the wind outside the window, Luo Qingluan held his hand tightly.
Sure enough, Bai Yixuan and Han Xun let out a rumor. Not only that, but they also deliberately spread rumors to everyone who knows it, and now the ordinary people in the whole capital think that Nalan Wang, the king of Chu, came back at night to take her away, and then rebelled.
She had already heard that Yuan Xing had brought back a lot of news that was unfavorable to Nalan Ye, and those ignorant people had forgotten Nalan Ye's exploits five years ago, and scolded him one by one for being cold-blooded and ruthless, betraying Xi Chu, and scolding her for being a disaster for the country and the people.
How would these ignorant and ignorant people know that these are all rumors unleashed by the enemy, that is, they deliberately slandered Nalan Ye and wanted to completely eradicate him? Luo Qingluan was secretly anxious, but helpless, although things had been expected by her, but when all this became a reality, she was still very sad.
The more things fermented, the more Luo Qingluan hated Bai Yixuan and Han Xun. If it weren't for their selfishness, how could things have come to this?
It's really a tree that wants to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop.
Fortunately, Luo Qingluan was somewhat relieved that she had already agreed with Xiao Yuqi. When the time comes, the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch will be behind, and I don't know who will have the last laugh.
"Princess." At this time, Yuan Xing walked in.
"How's it going out there?" Luo Qingluan asked.
"According to the tip, the fake prince will appear tonight and go to the Chu Palace, taking away the remaining servants. Needless to say, this naturally implies that the princess who was hiding outside secretly sneaked back to the Chu Palace, otherwise how could you see the prince who was thinking about it? ”
Yuan Xing said very energetically, and said: "According to their guesses, princess, you are so hopeful for the prince, once you receive the news that the prince will appear tonight, even if the Chu Wangfu is the tiger's den in Longtan, you will go to break through, and then you will fall for their plan." ”
Luo Qingluan smiled faintly: "But I don't know, we have already guessed that it was Bai Yixuan's trick, so naturally we won't be fooled." ”
Fortunately, she was a little sorry, if Nalan was also there at night, it would be fun. I don't know if the impostor who pretended to be Nalan Night tonight looks like it? Would she like to go with her?
"By the way, have you chosen the right one?" Thinking of this, Luo Qingluan asked the most critical point: they also have to choose a stand-in here to inquire about the news instead of her, this is really a plan, and it must not be exposed.
The candidate for the stand-in had already been decided, and when Yuan Xing went back to the Dark Night Hall to talk about it, many people volunteered to participate, and even felt honored to be able to replace Luo Qingluan. Even Xu Lian couldn't wait, and she wanted to atone for what happened to Luo Qingluan.
"Princess, it's been chosen a long time ago." Soon, Yuan Xing brought people in, Luo Qingluan looked at it, and looked a little familiar, isn't this Xu Lian, the daughter of Xu Chongqian, the deputy hall master of the Night Wolf Group?
I vaguely remember that when she and Nalan Ye went to the Dark Night Hall, many people, including this Xu Lian, did not agree with Nalan Ye handing over the jade plate representing her identity for safekeeping, and even caused a small dispute. If it weren't for her good handling, everyone would be convinced soon, but I was afraid that Nalan would have a headache at night.
Seeing that Xu Lian was a little embarrassed, and couldn't even speak, Yuan Xing hurriedly said: "Princess, my subordinates also see that Xu Lian is similar to you, and she is good at light skills, and she meets the conditions of the task, so her subordinates are ......."
"I didn't say it was inappropriate, what are you panicking about?" Luo Qingluan smiled slightly, where could he not guess the thoughts of the two?
She is not a stingy and narrow-minded person, at the beginning, the brothers targeted her, and they were also worried about the secret leakage of the Dark Night Hall and Nalan Night, since everyone has the same mind, she naturally does not care.
Looking at the plainly dressed woman in front of her, her appearance was not at all like her, and she still had a cautious look on her face, Luo Qingluan smiled and said: "Xu Lian, I have worked hard for you, I want you to pretend to be me to go to the Chu Palace's Mansion tonight, you must be careful and safe." ”
Feeling Luo Qingluan's sincere concern, Xu Lian's heart was hot: "Don't worry, princess, I will definitely live up to your hopes." ”
"Your own safety is the most important thing, you know?" Luo Qingluan frowned, what she was most afraid of was this, in case Xu Lian wanted to repay her kindness and sent her to death desperately, it would be terrible.
She said with a straight face: "Since we all know that the prince who appeared tonight is fake, then don't care too much about the result, understand?" Take care of yourself first, spy on intelligence on the premise of safety, and withdraw as soon as you see something wrong, you know? ”
Seeing that Xu Lian finally nodded in agreement, Luo Qingluan began to help her check the hidden dangers on her body again.
But anyone who practices martial arts, whether male or female, will have some problems. With a dose of acupuncture and a dose of decoction, Xu Lian's hidden illness has been alleviated by seventy percent, and there is absolutely no problem in dealing with tonight's actions.
It was still early, it would only be noon, and Luo Qingluan waited patiently.
……
The atmosphere of the whole capital is solemn, the sun has just set, and there are almost no people on the street. The businesses closed early and suspended business, and the merchants and vegetable farmers who can usually be seen on the streets and alleys are nowhere to be seen, and even the carefree children have long been taken home by their parents.
In a house that could barely see the gate of the Chu Palace, a woman was looking out in the attic, curious but worried about what she saw. Immediately, a fat middle-aged man came behind him and slapped her on the head: "Dead mother-in-law, what do you look at, do you want the whole family to lose your life with you?" ”
After saying that, he quickly closed the window, not even daring to peek.
There are not many scenes like this, and those merchants and nobles who once relied on the Chu Wangfu to survive, when they saw that the wind direction had changed, they had long been like grass on the wall, and no one had ever thought of going over to help.
Even some officials in the DPRK and China have repeatedly warned the female dependents in the family that they must not have dealings with Luo Qingluan, and at this eventful time, it is best not to even go out, because the province will be mistaken by Emperor Xichu for collusion with Luo Qingluan, and will be accused of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.
However, in just half a month, the Chu Palace, which was once looked up to in the minds of the people and courtiers of Western Chu, has become a forbidden place, and no one dares to appear nearby.
One of the most unlucky is a restaurant on the same street.
Because he was once close to the Chu Palace, only a stone's throw away, this boss used to be complacent, with his back against the big tree to enjoy the shade. Everyone is indeed cheering because of this, all who are entertaining guests or eating wine or something, they are always willing to come to this restaurant, just thinking about what time they can meet Nalan Ye, the king of Chu, even if they can't make friends, it's good to see them.
Now, the boss has been complaining for days. Because the Western Chu Emperor monitored the Chu Palace, surrounded by forbidden troops, his restaurant closest to the Chu Palace's Mansion was also a step by step sentry, and the door was full of birds.
Except for those forbidden soldiers who stood guard and occasionally came to him for dinner, but never paid the bill, there were no other guests to be seen. But this restaurant is the owner's only livelihood, even if he has to open it.
Secretly, the boss didn't know how many times he cursed Nalan Ye and Luo Qingluan.
Fortunately, there are a few businesses in the restaurant today, and it seems that I can't guess what the identity is, there are two people sitting at a table on the street, and there are four guards standing next to them. And in the private room where there have been no guests for a long time, there is also a seat, four or five men, some young, some middle-aged, although they look very ordinary, but the boss has seen people for many years and can also perceive that these people definitely have a great background.
"God forbid, God forbid, don't have an accident." After sending it out, the boss muttered a few words in his heart, and his heart palpitated.
In the private room, Bai Yixuan, who had changed into men's clothes, casually held the teacup in her hand and looked at Han Xun opposite lightly: "What, do you guess, will Luo Qingluan be fooled tonight?" ”
A fierce look flashed in his eyes, and Han Xun slowly raised his head and stared at Bai Yixuan's face: "If she doesn't come, you have to be careful of yourself." ”
It took so much effort, countless money, manpower and material resources, and so many negative effects, and even ruined the reputation of his most beloved woman, and finally failed? Hehe, Han Xun's heart was cold, if this was the case, he would definitely not let Bai Yixuan go.
"Han Xun, are you trying to kill me?" Bai Yixuan looked at him indifferently: "What a ruthless and unrighteous man, even if the plan fails, who would want to know that it was you who did it?" It's just a small loss, and you're going to kill me because of that? ”
"Did I say I was going to kill you?" Han Xun naturally wouldn't admit it, and said coldly: "I just warned you not to play tricks, what did you say when you went to see Xiao Ningyu a while ago?" Don't you still want to use Xiao Yuqi? ”
Shocked, Bai Yixuan looked at him: "Do you know that Xiao Yuqi is here?" ”
"Hehe, I didn't know long after he came, do you think I'm here to play?" Han Xun sneered.
Being in Xichu, it is natural to pay attention to all information, and an identity like Xiao Yuqi has to make him pay attention and be nervous. If he also participates, I am afraid that the matter will be even more serious. Fortunately, he has been sending people to secretly observe, Xiao Yuqi seems to have come because of Xiao Ningyu, and after Bai Yixuan went to see Xiao Ningyu, he also left her directly with him.
Merely......
As soon as he remembered the information that his subordinates brought back that day, Han Xun regretted it.
He didn't expect that on that day, Luo Qingluan also went to see Xiao Yuqi, but it was a pity that he knew too late at that time, otherwise he would ...... He was only afraid that Luo Qingluan would be kidnapped immediately, where would there be the current trouble?
Han Xun also guessed that the reason why Luo Qingluan went to see Xiao Yuqi would be related to Nalan Ye. It's just that because Xiao Yuqi hasn't moved, and he almost doesn't go out anymore, he can't analyze what Luo Qingluan talked about with Xiao Yuqi.
I just hope that she has something to ask for, and then she was rejected by Xiao Yuqi, right?
After all, now she doesn't have the support of Nalan Ye, that is, she is a somewhat smart woman, and others will not understand her preciousness and goodness like him. It's all a bunch of fools who don't have eyes!
Han Xun sneered a few times, tilted his neck and drank the wine in the cup dry, his heart became more and more eager.
It's coming soon, and I hope Luo Qingluan will come tonight as promised. He had already let out the wind and cornered her. If she still stays in Xichu, she will definitely be embattled, everyone shouts and beats, even if she can't even find a hiding place.
Except for him......
Luo Qingluan had to follow him back to North Vietnam, which was her best way out. Forget Nalan Ye, he will treat her well, and then join forces with Southern Wei to directly destroy Xichu and kill Nalan Ye, completely breaking the hope in her heart.
After a long time, she will forget about Nalan Ye, as long as he is kind to her and infinitely patient, she will eventually fall in love with him one day.
There seemed to be a fire beating in his eyes, and Han Xun's whole body became hot.
Tonight must succeed, everything is ready, his men and horses are waiting in the north of the city, as long as it is done, he will immediately return to North Vietnam with her, so as not to care what happens to Western Chu.
He was waiting for Luo Qingluan here, waiting for her to appear.
