Chapter 36: The Assassins' Night Attack
Chu Yixing dragged Song Lingxi and didn't let go: "Father, queen mother, don't want me anymore, you can't want my third sister-in-law, I don't want to go back, I want to stay here and sleep with you tonight"
"Okay, just stay, but don't cry"
At this moment, Chu Yiyun's jaw was shocked to the ground, and it was estimated that he would have to look around for his chin later, his eyes were staring like a dead salted fish, and he kept beating his chest, and the "pain" in his heart was to the extreme, and he couldn't help but scold himself: Chu Yixing, do I have a grudge against you, you don't come sooner or later, but come at this time, I hate you.
At the beginning of the day, the moonlight slowly became hazy, and black enveloped all the houses, and at this time even the earth fell asleep, and the deserted streets became silent.
A long black shadow appeared in the silent street under the gray moonlight, and the black shadow suddenly jumped onto the roof and ran into the distance.
Although Chu Yixing, who is the party concerned, has fallen asleep, Song Lingxi, who is lying on the bed, has been tossing and turning, Chu Yixing's affairs and the brother she saw during the day, she didn't believe that she was dazzled, and all kinds of thoughts were mixed together so that she couldn't close her eyes.
"Catch the Assassin, Catch the Assassin"
The quiet palace suddenly became noisy, and the sound of the assassin suddenly became heard outside.
Song Lingxi hurriedly got out of bed, picked up the cloak and put it on, and was about to go out to see what was going on, and Chu Yixing, who looked like a little tail, also walked out.
Before Song Lingxi walked out of the courtyard, a man in black with a long sword broke into her yard, Song Lingxi stepped forward and made a move with the man in black, when fighting, Song Lingxi not only felt that the figure in black was familiar, but even his eyes were so kind, this person was obvious: "Brother, you are brother?"
The man in black nodded: "Sister, I'm here to take you away, come with me"
"Why?"
At this time, Chu Yiyun suddenly appeared in the Dongchen Hall with archers, and the archers surrounded almost the entire Dongchen Palace, Song Lingxi hurriedly turned around and asked Song Zhiyuan to hold her hostage: "Brother, catch me." ”
Song Zhiyuan hurriedly put the sword on Song Lingxi's neck.
Chu Yiyun saw that someone was holding Song Lingxi hostage, and he was both worried and afraid: "Let go of the princess immediately, otherwise this king will make you die ugly."
Yang Yong slowly approached Chu Yiyun and handed Chu Yiyun a dagger from behind, Chu Yiyun took the dagger and threw the dagger at Song Zhiyuan while he was unprepared, the dagger was accurately inserted into Song Zhiyuan's right hand holding the sword, the sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter, Chu Yiyun rushed up with lightning speed and snatched back Song Lingxi from Song Zhiyuan's hand, and then quickly gave an order
"Shoot the Arrow"
Song Zhiyuan hurriedly dodged backwards, and when he dodged, he accidentally bumped into Chu Yixing, who had just run out not far away, and he had to grab Chu Yixing as a hostage again.
"Chase, don't let go of the arrows, don't hurt the princess"
Song Zhiyuan took Chu Yixing and fled all the way to the riverbank, and the guards of the palace surrounded them, Song Zhiyuan was about to let Chu Yixing jump into the river and escape, but Chu Yixing shouted to Chu Yiyun inexplicably: "Third brother, third sister-in-law, please tell my father and queen mother for me, let them treat them as if they never gave birth to Xing'er, I don't want to marry that ghost-like person if I die, but it's worth it for Xing'er to kill a bad guy today."
"Don't, Xing'er, Xing'er"
After Chu Yixing turned around and pushed Song Zhiyuan down the river, he also jumped down.
Song Lingxi knew that her brother would definitely be fine, but Chu Yixing was not easy to say, but she believed that her brother would not die without help, but she couldn't understand why her brother would disguise himself in the palace late at night and why he would want to take her away.
"Lingxi, you just stand here and don't move, Yang Yong will go back to find someone, and the others will go down to the river with me to save the princess."
After saying that, Chu Yiyun jumped off the moat with dozens of guards.
Dozens of people searched downstream from the location where Chu Yixing fell, but the river water in late autumn was already a little cold, and after half an hour, they had to change to another group of people to go down to the river, and the people from Xiangwangfu also quickly went into the water in shifts after arriving, so they changed batch after batch of people and searched for ten miles at dawn and did not find Chu Yixing and the assassins.
After dawn, he could only enter the palace to explain the situation to the emperor, and the queen almost fainted when she learned that Chu Yixing had fallen into the water and disappeared, crying so much that she was dead and alive, and the emperor was also furious, and no one on the knees below dared to speak:
"How could an assassin break into the Qi Palace? What are the guards doing to eat, come here, and put Han Peng, the head of the guard of the Qi Palace, into Dali Temple for strict interrogation."
Chu Yiyun hurriedly pleaded: "Father, Han Peng has been with me for more than ten years, he has always been loyal to the child, he will never do such a thing as colluding with the assassin, only because the assassin is strong in martial arts, so he will let him escape, I beg you to let Han Peng go."
Song Lingxi said: "Father, it's all Lingxi's fault, if it weren't for saving Lingxi, the villain wouldn't have had the opportunity to take Xing'er, please punish Lingxi."
The emperor picked up Song Lingxi and said, "How can I blame you for this." ”
The prince asked, "Why is Xing'er in the Qi Palace?" How can she get out of the palace without Jiaxi's espionage?"
Chu Yiyun: "Xing'er, she stole the queen mother's phoenix seal and left the palace by herself, she went to the Qi Palace, she asked Lingxi for help, she said that she was unwilling to marry the Persian prince." ”
The emperor sighed and said: "This girl, although Persia is far away, the prince will inherit the throne in the future, and she will be the queen of Persia at that time, how can she do stupid things?"
Song Lingxi pretended to be ignorant and asked: "Father, is it true that Lingxi heard Xing'er say that the Persian prince has yellow hair and blue eyes that are as scary as a ghost?" ”
The emperor listened to Song Lingxi's words and looked at the queen with a weak heart, obviously the queen didn't know what the Persian prince looked like.
The queen looked dazed: "How can there be people with yellow hair and blue eyes in this world, they are clearly monsters, your emperor, you can't marry monsters."
"In the woman's opinion, in Persia everyone looks like this, how can there be any monsters, well, I am tired, you continue to search in the river, and you will see people alive and dead and corpses."
The unruly side concubine who had just taught a lesson was now Chu Yixing's case again, Chu Yiyun was busy in the riverside palace from morning to night every day, and suddenly became clean.
Three days later, the emperor chose the daughter of King Yongkang, his niece, Chu Yixi, to marry the Persian prince instead of Chu Yixing, but on the other side, people still continued to search for Chu Yixing.
Seventy or eighty miles away in Linjiang Fish Village, Chu Yixing woke up from the simple wooden couch in a daze, and there was a shabby strangeness everywhere, and when she slowly walked down to the accommodation, she found that the clothes on her body had also been changed into a gray coarse cloth clothes: "Am I dead?" Didn't you say that you have to go to Huangquan Road Nai He Bridge when you die, why is it not like this place at all?"
