Chapter 167: Rumors
"What the hell is going on?"
The four people on the side were confused, and Qi Yi hurriedly asked her.
Ling Ling looked at the gloomy sky outside the house, his voice faintly trembling,
"Tune the tiger away from the mountain," her voice was a little low, "From the beginning, Night Hades wasn't targeting Bright Moon City. He has always been in Night City, he guessed that I would return to Bright Moon City to find Yan Yun's whereabouts, as long as I left Night City, I would cut off the connection between Longyun Gate and King Jing's Mansion......"
"Are you saying his target is the Dragon Cloud Gate in Night City or ...... King Jing's Mansion? Chu Bo asked.
Ling Ling thought back to the day he had fought with Murong Zhi and thought about the entire incident so far.
Her eyes darkened, from Night City to Bright Moon City, it would take four days to speed up and whip without stopping, and it would take eight days to go back and forth, plus the time to find Yan Yun included in the night night......
A chill emanated from within, Ling Ling took a deep breath, trying to keep himself calm,
"There are some things I haven't figured out yet, but what I can confirm is one of the two."
Ling Ling looked at the four people in front of her, her brows furrowed, thinking that the situation in Night City was not optimistic, she immediately explained,
"Yan Yun's body is weak, and it will take time to fully recover. Red Candle, you are accompanying Yan Yun in Mingyue City, first, to take care of her, and second, to help Yan Yun continue to guard Mingyue City for me; Qi Yi Chu Bo, now the protection of the Quartet is incomplete, and all parties inside the door are in turmoil, and you are needed to stabilize the situation. ”
"What about you?" Yan Yun asked worriedly.
She wiped the blood from her sword and withdrew it from her waist,
"I'll go back to Night City."
Whether it is Longyunmen or Jingwangfu, she can't allow anything to happen on either side!
After that, she didn't bother to say anything more to them, and quickly disappeared into the house with her inner breath.
Ling Ling rode back on the horse she was looking for in the stable of the City Lord's Mansion, and not long after leaving Bright Moon City, there was a sound of horses' hooves behind her, accompanied by the man's shouting,
"Ling Ling!"
Qi Yi's voice came from behind her, Ling Ling stopped and looked back, only to see Qi Yi and Red Candle riding horses and approaching her quickly.
"Why are you here? Didn't I give you an explanation? ”
Not wanting to see them in danger, Ling Ling's tone was full of anger.
"Bright Moon City and the Quartet in the gate, Chu Bo and Yan Yun can handle it, you go back to Night City, you need help."
Qi Yi's attitude was resolute and his expression was determined.
"The red candle was originally arranged by the adults to protect the girl by the girl's side, if the girl goes back to the night city alone and leaves the red candle, the red candle will be difficult to obey."
Red Candle's attitude was the same as Qi Yi's, and he looked at Ling Ling with a determined gaze.
"You're ......"
Helplessness and anger were intertwined in his heart, Ling Linggang wanted to argue with them, Qi Yi and Red Candle came to Ling Ling's side tacitly,
"If you continue to be verbose, it will only delay time, hold on steadily!"
Qi Yi didn't give Ling Ling a chance to speak, and waved the whip in his hand and hit the horse that Ling Ling was riding, and the horse let out a neighing and rushed out like a bow and arrow off the string.
At the same time, Qi Yi and Red Candle were also galloping on Ling Ling's left and right.
Night City
After almost endless journeys, Ling Ling and the three of them finally arrived in Night City.
Qi Yi and Red Candle rushed back to Longyun Gate to check on the situation first according to Ling Ling's wishes, while Ling Ling rushed to King Jing's Mansion to confirm Bai Feiye's safety.
Ling Ling avoided the crowd and shuttled through the alleys of the Night City, heading towards the most hidden back door of King Jing's Mansion.
From the beginning of entering the city, the atmosphere in the night city seemed very peaceful, as if nothing had happened these days, and just as she wondered if she was making a fuss, a hand patted her on the shoulder from behind.
Ling Ling was a spirit, firstly, she entered the city in disguise, and no one would be able to recognize her, and secondly, a person appeared behind her like this without she noticing, and she didn't dare to think about the depth of her inner breath, Ling Ling's thoughts were racing, and without saying a word, he pulled out his sword and stabbed the person behind him defensively.
The masked man behind him immediately dodged Ling Ling's sword, because it was too unexpected, the masked man staggered a little, Ling Ling saw the opportunity to stab the sword into his neck, and was about to ask who it was, when the other two masked men suddenly rushed out from behind him, blocking Ling Ling's sword.
One of the men protected the masked man from before him, while the other walked towards Ling Ling, his breath wide open, and his body was full of murderous aura.
"Stop, she's not an enemy."
Seeing that Ling Ling and a masked man were about to fight, the first masked man spoke out to stop him.
After the man in front of Ling Ling heard his words, the layers of murderous aura and strong internal breath surrounding his body disappeared in an instant, and he obediently stepped back and distanced himself from Ling Ling.
I saw the masked man who appeared at the beginning stepped forward, ripped off the face towel on his face, his narrow peach blossom eyes flashed with a faint smile, and the corners of his mouth pulled,
"Princess's cousin, it's me."
Mu Feng suddenly appeared near the palace with two masked men with strong internal breath, Ling Ling suddenly became vigilant in his heart, and subconsciously kept his distance from Mu Feng.
"Seeing that you rushed back to Night City cautiously, did you guess that something had happened in Night City recently?"
Ignoring Ling Ling's vigilance, Mu Feng motioned to the two men behind him to check the surrounding situation, and said in a low voice to Ling Ling.
"What's wrong?"
Ling Ling's back was cold, it was really as she thought!
Mu Feng stepped forward and walked up to Ling Ling's side and whispered in her ear, "It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, talk in a different place?" ”
She frowned and thought, further on is King Jing's Mansion, even if there is any big event, she wants to see him safe and sound before discussing it.
"He's in the palace, but it's not the best choice for you to go back now, if you believe me, follow me first."
Mu Feng's expression was serious, and without his usual hippie smile, Ling Ling stared at him for a moment,
"Let's go."
Mu Feng took her to a mansion hidden in various shops in the city, and to her surprise, this mansion seemed to be hidden, but in fact, it was very close to King Jing's Mansion and the Imperial Palace.
Looking at Mu Feng, who was walking in front of her with his hands behind his back, and then remembering that he approached her twice and patted her on the shoulder, he didn't notice it, Ling Ling looked serious and followed him thoughtfully.
"Tell me quickly, what happened to the prince?"
He followed Mu Feng all the way into the study, and as soon as he closed the door, Ling Ling couldn't wait to ask him.
Mu Feng grinned, "Cousin King Jing is fine,"
As he spoke, he took a delicate colored glass cup and poured a glass of water for Ling Ling.
"Soon after you left, a rumor spread through the streets of Night City,"
Mu Feng's smile gradually closed, and he said, "It is said that the former emperor's concubine Jing Guifei was born with brown curly hair, which is different from ordinary people, and she is an ominous person who is cursed. And the unexpected death of the former emperor was also caused by the continuation of Concubine Jing's curse. ”
"Nonsense! Aren't the deaths of Concubine Jing and the former emperor all the ghosts of Murong Zhi! ”
"After all, this is a secret matter of the state, and the people like to listen to the wind and rain, once this kind of rumor comes out, how can they still think of the truth of the matter? And the key is the core of the rumors, which say that Concubine Jing's curse continues in Night City to this day, and that continuation is King Jing, Bai Feiye. ”
Ling Ling's hand holding the glass cup tightened, and his heart was shocked, his secret was revealed?
"Concubine Jing has been gone for a long time, and the prince is obviously black hair, how dare she spread things that cannot be confirmed?"
She believed in Bai Feiye's rigor in everything he did, not to mention that even if someone knew that he and Mu Bai were the same person, the way to remove the hair dye ointment was also very unknown, Ling Ling didn't believe that the rumor was so real!
"It's confirmed, it's still confirmed in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty."
Mu Feng's voice was low, and the situation in the palace that day appeared in his mind, and his face was a little solemn.
