Chapter 209: Chaos (Part II)
"County Lord, don't worry, the prince will be fine, and the wood rhino will be fine." Although Cui Ming hadn't figured out why she had suddenly sent them away from Tiandu, she knew in her heart that something terrible had happened, so the prince hurriedly sent the county lord away from Tiandu, and she was more and more worried about Mu Xi's safety.
Huaxi sighed lightly, "I hope ...... It's just that I'm always unsure in my heart......"
The carriage traveled to Chaoyang Gate, and the guards guarding the gate stopped Huaxi and the others.
The coachman took out a sign from his arms and shook it in front of the guard's eyes, and the guard immediately got out of the way and shouted to the guards at the gate: "Open the door, let go"
"Slow" the sound of galloping horses' hooves broke the silence of the night.
"Who's making a fuss here?" The city gate guard shouted at the comer, turned to the coachman and whispered, "Hurry up"
As soon as the carriage moved, only a "whoosh" was heard, and an arrow shot straight in front of the carriage, and the horse neighed, and the carriage was stopped.
"You ignore the curfew, and let the idle people go out of the city," the leader of the group of men and horses came over, looked down at the city gate guard, and shouted angrily.
The officers and soldiers raised their torches and shook them, and found that the person who came was Xun Yuqing, the chief Xun Zhengnan.
"Duke Xun, the east gate is managed by the infantry commander yamen, and all affairs here are in charge of the lower officials. The person who drove the car had a customs clearance order, and the official naturally walked around. And if you are riding a horse on the street in the middle of the night, is it a violation of the curfew? The city gate guard was not afraid at all, he got an order from above, he must send the county lord out of the city tonight, "let go"
"Who dare" Xun Zhengnan waved his hand, and the people and horses led behind him dismounted and rushed to the city gate, blocking the way of the carriage.
Huaxi has been listening to the movement outside, and as soon as she heard that the person who came was Xun Zhengnan, she knew that it would be difficult to get out of the city today.
Bai Lan frowned, listening to the movement outside, "Listening to the sound of horses' hooves, there are about twenty or thirty people." β
Huaxi analyzed: "Xun Zhengnan came prepared, and he will naturally be a master...... They have been staring at the palace for more than a day or two, and it seems that the tricks in front of them have not succeeded. β
Susukino Nobu was afraid that Huaxi's whereabouts would be exposed, so he asked the person who answered to wait outside the city first, and when he came out, only four people such as Bai Lan and Mo Yi would be able to fight. Huaxi was worried that once the conflict broke out, Bai Lan and the others might not be able to resist it......
Outside the car, Xun Zhengnan raised his eyebrows and sneered: "County Lord Jingxian, the murder case of Lishu Biyuan has not yet been resolved, and the county lord is in a hurry to leave the city, isn't he a thief who wants to escape?" β
A cold voice came from inside the car, "Xun Gong, you can't take out the things that haven't been verified and talk nonsense." β
Xun Zhengnan heard that it was Huaxi, and immediately changed his tone: "The case of Lishu Biyuan is related to my sister, and now she has put aside the inquiry because of the busy affairs of the court, and asked the county lord not to leave before it is investigated, so as not to be misunderstood." β
Huaxi said in his heart, it seems that he can't get out today, and he doesn't know how to get out if he drags on and fights, so it's better to go back to the palace first.
"Thank you Xun Gong for reminding me, Bai Lan, go home."
Xun Zhengnan smiled, "It's even deeper, it's not been peaceful in this city recently, so let me wait to send the county lord back to his house." β
Bai Lan in the car changed her face, "County Lord......"
Huaxi naturally reacted, "Take a step at a time, and act later when the opportunity comes, I hope that my father will send someone over as soon as possible when he gets the news." β
Xun Zhengnan's men surrounded the two carriages of Xinwangfu, and the coachman was also replaced by Xun Zhengnan's people, and a team of people "escorted" Huaxi from Chaoyangmen.
The city defense guard looked at the situation and glanced at a small soldier, "Go and report the news." β
β¦β¦
Halfway through, Bai Lan lifted the curtain and curtained, and cursed in a low voice: "Damn, it's really not the way to the palace." β
Huaxi's face sank, and he said loudly: "Xun Gong, where are you going to send Jingxian?" β
Xun Zhengnan didn't care, his eyes flashed, his voice was deliberately lowered, and he said to the car: "There is a noble person who wants to invite the county lord to come over the mansion, but he has no chance, since the county lord is out of the mansion today, then he might as well go to meet this noble man for a while." β
Bai Lan gritted her teeth and whispered, "County Lord, get ready to do it." β
Huaxi nodded, "That's all it can be like now." It seems that Xun Zhengnan is not ready to let her go back to the house at all, and clearly wants to put herself under house arrest, she can't get out of the city, and she can't fall into the hands of the Xun family, so that they have a handle to blackmail her father.
Bai Lan whistled, and someone outside shouted, "Catch the assassinβ"
"Mo Yi, they acted. County Lord, let's go out" Bai Lan grabbed Huaxi's hand and pulled her out of the car, followed by Cui Ming.
There are a total of four secret guards in Huaxi, and they have already exchanged hands with Xun Zhengnan's people at this time. Although there were only four people, they dragged most of Xun Zhengnan's manpower.
Bai Lan leaned out half of her body, but was stopped by four sharp knives.
Xun Zhengnan smiled and said to Huaxi: "County Lord, why be anxious? Wait a little longer. Although the secret door is a man with one as ten, the person I bring with me today is not a mediocre person. The county lord should go back to the car."
The three of Huaxi were stopped back.
Just when Xun Zhengnan was about to take Huaxi hostage and evacuate, a team of Tsing Yi people came out of nowhere and joined the battle group.
Xun Zhengnan saw that something was wrong, and shouted angrily at the people next to him: "You five go with me, and I will drag these miscellaneous pieces for the rest." β
The chariot avoided the warband, and drove to the other side, and had just gone a hundred paces away, when the one who had opened the road in front came back to report that the king had arrived with his men and horses.
Xun Zhengnan saw that the momentum was not good, and as soon as King Xin came, the plan to kidnap the county lord of Jingxian was in vain. At this point, it is impossible to kidnap the county lord of Jingxian in the name of assassination.
He turned his heart on the sidelines, "Grab people and take them away." β
"Don't think" Bai Lan jumped out of the car, just now a group of people pointed knives at her, she didn't dare to act rashly, for fear that she would hurt Huaxi and Cui Ming. At this time, there were only five people left around Xun Zhengnan, so she naturally would not sit still and wait for death.
Bai Lan rushed out and fought with Xun Zhengnan's men. Xun Zhengnan saw that the situation was urgent, and today's siege was afraid that it would be a failure, so he dismounted and pulled Huaxi out of the car, raised a knife on Huaxi's neck, and shouted at Bailan: "Don't stop again, don't blame me for being ruthless under the knife"
Bai Lan was shocked, and his subordinates were in chaos, and they were also slashed two or three times.
"Xun Zhengnan, what kind of crime should you be guilty of privately deducting the county lord" Huaxi felt the coldness of the blade, and reached into his sleeve and touched it.
Xun Zhengnan dragged Huaxi into the alley, "The county lord doesn't have to be a ** heart, since I dare to make a move, I naturally have something to rely on." β
The two henchmen who accompanied him were in front of Xun Zhengnan, and he watched the movement of the alley vigilantly, and only after confirming that no one was there did he drag Huaxi inside.
Bai Lan saw that Huaxi was captured, and her eyes were red, Xun Zhengnan's three subordinates were seriously injured, and the two people who were protecting Xun Zhengnan saw that the situation was not good, and they hurriedly stepped forward to help.
Xun Zhengnan dragged Huaxi to leave, he didn't want to turn around, there was a sharp pain in his abdomen, his eyes widened, and when he looked down, there was a golden dagger inlaid with gems in his abdomen, and the handle of the dagger was in Huaxi's hand......
