Chapter 428: Escape from Fire in the Secret Room
Leng Nanxianfu sighed worriedly: "How easy is it to talk about? The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, so although the queen mother is noble, she knows little about the affairs of the court, and it is difficult to turn the tide.
Prince Rui's ambition is already obvious, and now there is no prince under the emperor's knees, only the last bit of hope in the belly of the concubine, so King Rui can't wait to marry the concubine and take the opportunity to cut off the emperor's heir.
If the emperor is really good, then there is no successor to the throne, and according to the rules of the Chang'an Dynasty, King Rui has every reason to replace him and ascend the throne as the emperor. Moreover, King Rui is famous for his trip, and even if some of the ministers of the court doubt his ambitions, they are helpless, which is also a tricky point. ”
"If this analysis is followed, the person who poisoned the emperor is afraid that it is King Rui? The antidote must also be in the hands of King Rui. ”
"King Rui does things and never leaves hidden dangers, which can be seen from his murderous mouth. Therefore, he will definitely not leave an antidote. Leng Nanxian frowned.
"How's that for good?" An Sheng said worriedly: "In less than a day, can we develop an antidote?" It would be nice if the master was here. I don't know where he went? ”
Leng Nanxian gritted his teeth: "The antidote is important, but it is even more important to stabilize the situation, otherwise even if we really develop an antidote, King Rui will definitely not let us hand it over to the Queen Mother, and it may not be able to reverse the situation."
What's more, the master is not good at detoxification in the first place, and the emperor has no worries about his life at this time, as long as he can solve the difficulties of the palace and find your master, it will not be too late to detoxify. ”
An Sheng was completely unconfident: "We have a total of eighteen silver needles, and I hope that I can use the poison contaminated on these silver needles to find a cure for the poison." ”
Leng Nanxian raised her hand and rubbed An Sheng's bun, she was so smart, she really didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse?
With a light sigh, he closed his eyes again.
An Sheng didn't dare to disturb him, and calmed down to find a way.
The carriage went straight back to the medicine house.
Ling Shizi rode on his horse and watched condescendingly as An Sheng and Leng Nanxian got out of the carriage.
"There is Lao Ling Shizi, Ling Shizi, please go back?" Leng Nanxian said indifferently.
Ling Shizi glanced at Yao Lu with disdain: "Doctor Leng has a great responsibility, but he must be attentive." There is only this one day, and you must not live up to the Queen Mother's trust to you. After all, it's a head-off errand. ”
Leng Nanxian bowed his head: "Although the prince can rest assured, Leng must be exhausted and spare no effort." ”
Ling Shizi waved his hand and said arrogantly: "In order to ensure that the cold divine doctor is not disturbed by the outside world, this team of people stays behind to protect your safety, you can calm down and don't have to think about those messes." ”
Leng Nanxian pursed his lips: "The prince is thoughtful, thank you." ”
Ling Shizi hooked his lips meaningfully: "This prince is waiting for your good news, but don't let me down." ”
Shake the reins of the horse and go away.
The soldiers who remained lined up at the door of the medicine house, waiting for them.
It's just house arrest.
Qianzhou and Sister-in-law Feng had already heard the movement at the door and greeted them, and when they saw this posture, they were a little dumbfounded: "Childe, what's going on?" ”
Leng Nanxian handed the medicine box in his hand to Qianzhou: "Talk inside." ”
Several people closed the door of the medicine house, shut those soldiers out, and then entered the clinic together, and briefly talked about today's entry into the palace, along with the doubts of the two people, and the three of them.
Sister-in-law Feng immediately volunteered: "Let me go out and contact Yu Shizi, right?" With my skills, I should have no problem avoiding those soldiers. ”
Leng Nanxian said worriedly: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid, they still have an ambush outside, not just these few people." ”
"If you don't try, how do you know if you can do it or not?"
An Sheng gritted his teeth: "I can cover Sister-in-law Feng." ”
There really is no other way, and there is no time to delay.
Several people discussed the details of the operation, and Qianzhou tried to divert the attention of those soldiers, and An Sheng used soft tendons to cover Feng's sister-in-law leaving.
If you are careful, you must act separately.
Qianzhou went straight out and opened the door of the medicine house, but in front of dozens of swords that reflected the cold light.
As soon as the gate opened, they swarmed in, directly surrounding An Sheng and the others in the middle.
The person at the head, wearing a mask, sneered at Leng Nanxian and the others: "Where do you want to go?" ”
Qianzhou was not in a hurry: "Buy medicine." ”
"Buying medicine?" The man snorted softly from the end of his nose: "I think, you can't make a prescription, you're afraid of losing your head, and you want to run away, right?" ”
Leng Nanxian slowly glanced around at those soldiers: "It seems that Lord Rui doesn't want to give us time this day, no wonder he let us out of the palace so happily." ”
The man sneered: "Obviously a smart person, but being partial is doing stupid things, it's no wonder that others, you yourself have to hit the knife." Since you want to escape, we will give you a ride. ”
He waved his hand behind him and said coldly: "Up!" ”
Ansheng had always felt that the man's voice was quite familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it. Now when I saw him wave his hand, there was no hand on his wrist, but an iron claw, and he suddenly said: "It's you?" ”
It turned out to be the leader of the killers who chased and killed An Sheng and Leng Nanxian at the Dongcheng Cangqiao last year, and was bitten on the finger by the coral and broke his wrist together.
The original Cangqiao fire case was really related to King Rui.
Then it can be seen that King Rui is the person behind the rebels, he has been premeditated for a long time, and he has been secretly plotting.
The suspicions of the two were indeed correct.
The man was stunned for a moment, and then looked at An Sheng: "It's good to know it, so as not to be a ghost who has died unjustly." The old and new hatreds are now liquidated together. ”
Unable to allow An Sheng and the others to speak, the other party was already holding a steel knife and pounced viciously.
Sister-in-law Feng was defenseless, stepped forward and snatched the oncoming steel knife, as fast as a leopard and as vigorous as a dragon.
There are many people on the other side, and Sister-in-law Feng protects Leng Nanxian alone, so she naturally cares about one or the other, not an opponent.
An Sheng was not polite, he pulled the wrist mechanism, and the silver needle as thin as a gadfly was launched, and the other party kept throwing away his armor and falling under Feng's sister-in-law's steel knife, like chopping vegetables and melons.
Leng Bo and Qianzhou also picked up steel knives, protected An Sheng and Leng Nanxian, and showed no mercy to those soldiers with sore hands and feet.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the leader knew that An Sheng was powerful, and he couldn't take it, so he took a few steps back and withdrew from the medicine house, so he repeated the trick: "Use the sleeve arrow." ”
The soldiers were well-trained, and they retreated in unison, and they took cover by the wall, but in an instant, the arrows and crossbows were already coming like locusts.
Sister-in-law Feng and the others stood in front of An Sheng and Leng Nanxian, using the steel knife in their hands to block the dense arrows and crossbows, and while fighting and retreating, they anxiously urged: "Son, take Miss An Sheng from the backyard quickly, we will try to delay them." ”
Leng Nanxian just groaned slightly, and said categorically: "No, let's go back to the backyard together." ”
It was the critical moment, Qianzhou was so anxious that he jumped: "When is it, Gongzi is still so worried, go quickly!" ”
But in a moment's distraction, an arrow crossbow flew and hit Qianzhou's left shoulder, causing him to stiffen and snort.
Fortunately, it did not hurt the vital points.
An Sheng didn't understand Leng Nanxian's intentions, but he knew that he must have a plan, and how could the other party let himself escape easily?
Dragged a thousand boats and Sister-in-law Feng: "Withdraw together." ”
While the other party is now outside the medicine house, the opportunity cannot be missed.
The five of them retreated towards the backyard together, passing by the kitchen, Leng Nanxian instructed Sister-in-law Feng: "Set fire!" ”
Sister-in-law Feng couldn't help but be stunned, but she still obeyed Leng Nanxian's order without thinking, kicked over the oil tank at the kitchen door and the charcoal stove for cooking medicine, and An Sheng smashed several jars of spirits over.
The fire burst into flames in an instant. It was dry weather and the flames quickly swept through the kitchen and spread to ignite the clinic.
The soldiers who were chasing after them could not come forward for a while, and cut off their way.
The leader smiled coldly: "The medicine house has been surrounded, and they can't fly out even if they put on their wings. This fire consciously cut off their own way of life. ”
Leng Nanxian took the lead in taking An Sheng into the study and instructed Sister-in-law Feng: "Continue to set fire!" ”
Sister-in-law Feng and Uncle Leng also immediately understood Leng Nanxian's meaning, and without hesitation, they set fire to the backyard as well, and then retreated into the study with them.
Leng Nanxian walked quickly to the bookshelf, and used his strength to push the bookshelf, only to hear the sound of "Zaza", and there was a hole under the bookshelf that only allowed two people to pass through, and there were steps leading to the ground.
Leng Nanxian stretched out his hand at An Shengyi: "Hurry up." ”
An Sheng was surprised and delighted, he never knew that there was such a mechanism in this study.
She didn't dare to delay, and was the first to go down the steps. Leng Nanxian, Sister-in-law Feng and others also followed in and regained the entrance of the cave.
It was dark in the basement, and it was impossible to see.
An Sheng groped all the way down, and Leng Nanxian didn't know where to find the fire fold and ignited the oil lamp in the basement.
For a moment, Ansheng's eyes were dazzled.
There were many silver and gold ingots piled up in the basement.
He had long known that his master was rich, but when he saw so much gold and silver for the first time, An Sheng couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and he forgot that he was in danger for a while.
She swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and she just wanted to pounce forward and roll happily in the pile of ingots.
Leng Nanxian instructed Sister-in-law Feng to block the partition behind him to block the heat above.
"Where's the exit to this tunnel?" An Sheng looked around and asked suspiciously.
Leng Nanxian shook his head: "There is no exit." ”
"Huh?" An Sheng was immediately disappointed.
Qianzhou asked Leng Nanxian puzzled: "This fire, of course, can temporarily stop those people from chasing and killing, but once the fire is extinguished for a while, we are afraid that it is not very safe." Even if the Rui Wangfu digs three feet into the ground, it won't let us go, isn't it just catching turtles in the urn? ”
Leng Nanxian glanced at An Sheng on the side: "If some people hear that there is a fire in the medicine store, will they wait until the fire is extinguished before rushing over?" ”
Qianzhou suddenly touched his hair: "That's right, even if Yu Shizi doesn't receive the news, Guan Xiaoye is well-informed, and he will definitely rush over." These people can no longer kill people with impunity. But we don't know the above situation, they can't find our bodies, according to Yu Shizi's anxious temperament, they must be all over the city to search. ”
