Chapter Seventy-Six: Night Attack
That night, Xia Taozhi was awakened by a commotion.
She sat up in a daze, and listened, the sound of swords clashing and soldiers shouting, sounding a little far from the main tent.
"What's going on out there?"
The tsundere prince turned over, stretched out a leg to press her, didn't even open his eyes, and said lazily: "Don't care, continue to sleep." ”
"But it seems like a fight......
"Someone attacked the barracks at night."
She was taken aback: "Night attack?!" But isn't the battle all over? ”
"It's when the battle is over and everyone has taken off their guard, and it's the best time to start."
She was stunned when she heard this, what does this mean? Could it be that Xitu pretended to Mingjin to withdraw his troops, but secretly attacked them at night, wanting to catch them off guard? Isn't that shameless......
Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness the King of Tombs, who was known for his gentlemanly demeanor in the past, had become like this...... Could it be that the three words "Feng Yuanjun" are poisonous? Who calls who shameless?
She reached out and pinched his waist, "Then you still have the heart to sleep?" "What's the matter with this person, aren't you in a hurry when your eyebrows are burning?
Now the tsundere prince couldn't sleep, sat up with his sleeping messy hair, stretched out his hand to take her into his arms, rubbed it, and said: "Why do you have to go out for your husband in this kind of small scene, they can deal with it." ”
She hurriedly said: "This is still a small scene? That "Feng Yuanjun" actually took advantage of this time to send someone to sneak attack, he must have come prepared. ”
The tsundere prince said: "It's not him. ”
Well? Not him?
"But when I listen to the movement outside, it looks like a soldier from Xitu......"
"It was indeed a soldier from Situ, but he didn't send it."
She looked at him suspiciously: "How do you know?" ”
The tsundere prince seemed to remember something funny, and said, "Because he was injured."
"Hurt?"
The smile on his face was even worse, and it was a completely gloating expression: "He was stabbed by someone and was accidentally injured." ”
She: "......"
Who can't think so...... It's really impatient to assassinate Prince Situ......
"Guess who the man who assassinated him was?"
She was inexplicable, how did she guess? "How do I know?"
He said, "It's Xuanyuan Geng." ”
"Huh? Xuanyuan Geng?! ”
She was shocked, Xuanyuan Geng actually ran to assassinate Prince Xitu? Why is that? Don't tell her that Xuanyuan Geng is because of patriotism, she won't believe her if she kills her!
"Wait...... It doesn't seem right......"
She remembered one thing, when she and Xiao Lianxu were hiding in Xiangyu's room and eavesdropping, they obviously heard Xuanyuan Geng say that he wanted to find the enemy who killed his family, and there was no reason why he would run to assassinate Prince Xitu for no reason...... Could it be that his enemy was Prince Situ?
Even if it's Prince Situ...... It shouldn't be the current Prince of Situ, but ......
Sure enough, a familiar look of banter appeared on someone's face, and he said, "Well...... I think it has something to do with me......"
She looked at him suspiciously: "...... What bad things have you done? ”
He spread his hands, "Where do I remember this, I did too much......"
She: "......" This person is simply a brazen leader! She tried to remind: "For example...... ...... that ruined people's families and so on"
The tsundere prince was still at a loss.
She sighed, and had no choice but to tell the tsundere prince what she had overheard in Xiangyu's room. just concealed the details that Xiao Lianxu was also hiding in the cabinet with her, so as not to make a certain vinegar king turn his face on the spot.
As soon as someone heard her mention something related to the "Cui Red Mansion", his face turned dark, and he glanced at her with a cold snort, and then said thoughtfully: "So, Xuanyuan Geng came to Suoyu City to seek revenge on his enemy?" Interesting, interesting...... Although I didn't do anything like ruining people's families in the past, I really didn't have much impression of the surname Xuanyuan. ”
She: "......"
However, the name Xuanyuan Geng may be a pseudonym. It's not surprising that after the family is ruined, he hides his name, changes his identity, endures humiliation and steals his life, and waits for an opportunity to take revenge. ”
"Oh yes, Xiao ......" She bit her tongue and almost said Xiao Lianxu's name: "Uh...... I saw a jade pendant around Xuanyuan Geng's neck, which he said was a relic of his mother. ”
The tsundere prince glanced at her, "Draw it for me when you return to Chujing, and I'll send someone to investigate." ”
"Oh......" She scolded herself for her quick mouth, she didn't remember what the jade pendant looked like, where could she draw it? Hey, forget it, when you get back to Chu Jing, you can find another opportunity to find Xiao Lianxu and let him draw it.
"It's a pity that Xuanyuan Geng didn't die, and let him run away again."
She was not surprised to hear this, how could it be so easy to die? The scourge is a thousand years away! Just think that Xuanyuan Geng is a loach!
However, he has already sent someone to chase him, and he should not be able to run far if he is seriously injured. But ......" Tsundere Prince snorted coldly: "The dignified "Xuanjia God of War" was actually injured by a human assassination, which simply disgraced my face, and it would damage Lao Tzu's prestige if it was spread out! You must know that it was common for Lao Tzu to be assassinated in the past, and no one has ever been able to hurt me in the slightest. ”
She held her forehead, and she was still entangled in what she didn't do, does this have anything to do with you......
"In any case, he has suffered for you......"
The tsundere prince sneered and didn't buy it: "What is this? Did Lao Tzu suffer less for him? ”
This is also true, the tsundere prince has indeed carried a lot of pots for him, feng shui takes turns, and it is time to pay off his debts.
It's just that......
"How do you know so clearly???" It's like he's experienced it himself.
Someone choked for a while, hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "What's that...... I ...... with him Occasionally...... Nothing to do...... Just fly a few pigeons......"
"What?!" She was shocked, "You still fly pigeons with him to pass the book?" ”
Dare them fight to the death on the battlefield during the day, and hide from the sky and fly pigeons at night? Oh no, it's a handbook. So on the top of the mountain that day, after she passed out, what happened to those two people?
She squinted at him, and said in a dangerous tone: "You'd better get me the truth, if I know you're lying to me again......"
"Don't dare, how dare you deceive your wife...... Actually, it's like this, between me and him...... Make a pact. ”
"What agreement?"
"The agreement of the king of a country."
???
!!!
"You mean ......"
"Yes, as you think." He smiled and said, "So we will secretly help each other until the agreement is reached." Do you know who sent those Situ soldiers outside? Who is behind tonight's night attack? ”
She shook her head.
"Then let me tell you, it is my eldest brother who sent troops tonight, but the mastermind behind the scenes is Song Yuanmin. The two of them have already been in cahoots, and the position of the princes of the two countries is pictured. Song Yuanmin promised my eldest brother that if he could take advantage of this war to get rid of King Ling for him, he would become the only candidate for the prince of Eastern Chu, and he would inherit the unification in the future, and he would give ten cities to him. In the future, if my eldest brother wants to compete for the position of prince, he will definitely help. ”
She heard a chill, and Song Yuanmin was too shameless!
"My eldest brother is suspicious, cunning and cruel, if he is the king of a country in Xitu, the world will really never be peaceful. And Song Yuanmin is also a person with a bad heart, let him be the emperor of Dongchu, I am afraid that Dongchu will also fall into dire straits. ”
However...... "Feng Yuanjun" is already the prince of Xitu, and he will definitely be the king of a country in the future. But you are just a little prince, no matter how you look at it, you are more advantageous, why do you want him to help you? ”
The tsundere prince smiled, "Do you think that when the husband was in Xitu, the position of the prince was very stable?" The battle of the royal family in Xitu is much more powerful than that of Dongchu, my two royal brothers and one imperial brother are not vegetarians, and it is not a day or two to covet the position of the prince, where is Song Yuansheng's quality can be compared. If Song Yuanxi is still like when he was in Eastern Chu, he does not fight or rob, and repays grievances with virtue, I am afraid that he will die without a place to be buried. Presumably, when he just passed through the soul, life must have been very difficult, and it is precisely because of this that his temperament has changed greatly......"
"Are you really going to help him?"
"Yes. Although this body is no longer mine, in any case, I don't want the position of Prince Xitu to be shaken, because I once paid everything in exchange for it. ”
"Having said that, don't forget how he insidiously designed you to make you eat Gu poison, he has a heart for you! Moreover, he has more than the ambition of being the king of a country......"
She told the tsundere prince what the "Feng Yuanjun" said to him on the top of the mountain.
The tsundere prince raised his eyebrows and smiled, "He really said that?" ”
"yes."
"Then he's finally grown a little bit."
“……”
???
How did she feel that she couldn't understand the words of the tsundere prince more and more.
The tsundere prince asked, "How do you think he did when he was the king of Ling?" ”
"It's a failure, it's so miserable......"
"He's mixed up like this, not because he's not strong enough, it's because he's too kind. This kindness is fatal. ”
Well, it seems to make sense, on the night they just passed through the soul, the tsundere prince almost died.
"And...... I still have a request for him. The tsundere prince lay down again, crossed his hands behind his head, stared straight at the top of the tent, and said slowly: "...... I want to ask him to take care of my mother for me and do my filial piety for me. ”
Xia Taozhi was silent, she had never heard the tsundere prince mention his mother, although she didn't have much time to get along with her since she was a child, but blood is thicker than water, and the flesh and blood affection is already pulling the heart and lungs, and it has long been melted into the bones and blood, and it is inseparable.
"What about him? He does not hesitate to coerce you with poison, what does he want you to do for him? ”
The tsundere prince was silent for a long time, until Xia Taozhi thought he was asleep again, and then heard him say: "This matter is different from our agreement. Because it's his privacy, I can't tell you for the time being. I'll tell you when the time comes. ”
When it came to this, she didn't ask, and the two of them were silent for a while, silently listening to the movement outside.
The commotion outside continued, and there didn't seem to be more than one group of people attacking at night, but the sound was far away from them, and none of them seemed to be able to get close to the big tent. It seems that the reason why someone can sit back and relax and sleep peacefully is indeed deployed in advance.
But she thought about it and still didn't feel at ease, "No, peony and begonia don't know martial arts, if you can't save yourself in danger, I'll go out and have a look......" After that, she was about to get up, and someone who had been lying on the corpse suddenly sat up, hugged her from behind, and said in her ear: "Naturally, someone will protect them, what do you care?" He pressed his face against her neck socket and exhaled softly, his voice as if bewitching: "You just have to worry about being a husband......
