Second, borrowed soldiers

Ji Kaihan thought for a while and said: "So far, we have borrowed 100,000 troops from North Korea, plus the strength of Candle Shadow Shake Red and Confession Gate, I believe that it is not a problem to deal with Luo Kailing's troops at all." Now all we have to do is to find out what is really going on in the palace, so as not to harm the innocent. ”

Ji Kaihan said: "Among the three of us, my light skill is the highest, so let's go into the palace tonight to see what happened." ”

Jiang Shaoheng hurriedly shook his head and said, "Yes, your light skill was indeed the highest in the past, but it may not be the case now." Now that you have just returned from North Korea, your spirit has not yet recovered, and you have been tired all the way, so you may not be as good as me and Brother Fang Xiao's light work. What's more, the 100,000 army still needs your sitting, and the 100,000 army is quietly stationed outside the city, which should not attract the attention of the imperial court for the time being, but I believe that in less than three days, the imperial court will definitely know about this matter. So no matter what, we must also rescue the eldest princess within three days and complete this matter. What do you guys think? ”

Both nodded yes.

"It's better like this, tonight, Brother Fang and I will visit the palace at night, you stay here to guard the base camp, if something happens, we can also ventilate."

Hearing Jiang Shaoheng insist on saying this, Ji Qihan thought about it, sighed and said, "That's it, since that's the case, let's do what you say, Brother Shaoheng." It's just that you must be careful when you go to the palace at night. ”

"We got it." Fang Xiao and Jiang Shaoheng nodded together.

At night, the sky was heavy, the sky and the earth were pitch black, and the entire universe seemed to be shrouded in darkness, Fang Xiao and Jiang Shaoheng quietly walked out in the middle of the night, and the next thing they had to do was to visit the palace at night.

In fact, this night visit to the palace can be described as difficult, because the emperor must have expected that they would come to the night visit, so it is inevitable that they will be obstructed and intercepted in the palace.

The two of them were proud of their own talents, so they didn't take these things seriously, but despite this, they were still cautious, lest something happen, but fortunately, they were very familiar with everything in the palace, and they soon entered the palace.

They carefully observed the layout of the palace, and found that there were indeed many more guards than usual, guards, especially outside the gate of Wan'an Palace, almost all of them were covered with soldiers, in this case, if you want to enter Wan'an Palace, I am afraid it is difficult to make a trip.

Jiang Shaoheng and Fang Xiao were slightly combined, Jiang Shaoheng was resourceful, and he said slowly: "Brother Fang, I think it is unlikely that we want to enter the Wan'an Palace to save the princess and sister now." Why don't you do this, one of us deliberately went to the Wan'an Palace to lure away the soldiers, while the other went to Yun Cao to find out what was going on. It's up to me to go to Wan'an Palace to lure away the soldiers, and you go to Yun Cao and ask her what happened, and we decided so, what do you think? ”

Fang Yu shook his head and said, "It's not good, it's not good, you have always been more important in the heart of the princess sister than me, and you have done more things for her than me, isn't this too unfair to me?" How could I give you such a great opportunity? In short, I'll leave it to you to inquire about the matter, and you can leave the rest to me. After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Jiang Shaoheng to give any reaction, so he jumped off the palace wall and went straight to Wan'an Palace.

Jiang Shaoheng wanted to stop him, but he couldn't. Jiang Shaoheng knew what he was thinking, so he sighed, but secretly prayed in his heart, hoping that he could go without danger or danger.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Shaoheng hurried to Tang Yuncao's palace to see Tang Yuncao, after Jiang Shaoheng came to Tang Yuncao's palace gate, he looked around and found that Tang Yuncao's palace gate still had a lot of guards, but it was not comparable to Wan'an Palace at all, he hesitated for a moment and had a plan.

Seeing a guard passing in front of him, he quietly stepped forward to knock the guard unconscious, and then changed his clothes and put them on his body, he ran to the front of Tang Yunxu's palace and shouted loudly: "It's a big thing, an assassin is coming to Wan'an Palace, it's a big thing, an assassin is coming to Wan'an Palace." ”

The guards in this palace must have been told that everything should be the most important thing in Wan'an Palace, and after hearing that there were assassins in Wan'an Palace, many people immediately hurried to Wan'an Palace, leaving only a small number of people here to guard Tang Yuncao's palace.

Seeing this situation, Jiang Shaoheng no longer hesitated, he took advantage of the chaos of the crowd, he quietly blended in, after entering, because he was dressed as a guard, it was easy to avoid the people who should be avoided, and it was night, the lights in the palace were dim, and he quickly mixed into Tang Yuncao's dormitory.

Looking around, he quietly walked in, and when he saw Tang Yuncao sitting there alone in a daze, he called out softly from behind her: "Yuncao." ”

Tang Yunxu looked up and found that Jiang Shaoheng had come to her side at some point, and hurriedly shouted in surprise: "Uncle Shi, why are you here?" ”

Jiang Shaoheng nodded and said, "I just want to find out what happened, I see that there are so many people guarding the gate of Wan'an Palace, it must not be so easy to enter, so I came to ask you." ”

After Tang Yuncao heard him say this, he was just very anxious, and said in a continuous voice: "Uncle Jiang, you hurry up, hurry up, hurry up." ”

She said "hurry up" several times in a row, but she heard someone laugh loudly and say, "Isn't it too late to leave now?" Immediately after, he saw Zhu Jianshen standing in front of him.

Only then did Jiang Shaoheng understand that all this was just a trap.

"What's going on?" Jiang Shaoheng raised his head and asked Tang Yuncao.

Tang Yunxu was very anxious, but he didn't know what to say.

Empress Dowager Zhou said with a smile: "Actually, this matter is also very simple, since there are so many people in front of Wan'an Palace, I believe that you will definitely not enter Wan'an Palace, you will definitely adopt a policy of attacking the east and the west, and you will come here to find Tang Yunxu to ask what happened." So we're here and waiting. ”

Jiang Shaoheng glanced at them with a smile, his eyes were full of calm, and said: "Yes, the emperor and the Empress Dowager Zhou really calculated just right, but I don't know if you have calculated, it doesn't seem to be a very laborious thing for me Jiang Shaoheng to escape from here." ”

"Yes, it is indeed very laborious for you to escape from here, Jiang Taifu's martial arts are famous in the United States, who doesn't know, who doesn't know? It's just that, Mrs. Jiang, I don't know if you have figured it out, if you escape like this, what should our imperial princess do? Empress Dowager Zhou smiled weirdly, took out a jade pendant and handed it to Jiang Shaoheng.

Jiang Shaoheng glanced at the jade pendant, and immediately recognized that it was something that Jian Huaizhen was carrying, and the jade pendant was given to Jian Huaizhen by Zhu Di, Jian Huaizhen has always regarded it as a treasure, if it were not for the last resort, she would definitely not hand over this jade pendant to others, and now the jade pendant is in the hands of the Empress Dowager Zhou, which shows that Jian Huaizhen has really encountered danger.

Jiang Shaoheng smiled coldly and said, "Even if there are so many guards in your palace, you may not be able to trap me. You just took a jade pendant and told me, let me be caught, is it so easy for me Jiang Shaoheng to be deceived? Unless I see the eldest princess and she is safe and sound, I will not be restrained in any way. ”

"If you don't tie your hands and arrest her, the eldest princess will definitely be in danger, and the queen mother will gamble that you have this affection for the eldest princess, I don't know if I'm right?" As she spoke, a sneer appeared at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, which showed that the Queen Mother had grasped Jiang Shaoheng's heart this week.

Jiang Shaoheng hesitated for a long time, and when he was thinking about how to do it well, Tang Yuncao stood in front of him and said to him: "Jiang Shibo, you go quickly, Aunt Princess is fine, you can leave quickly." ”

Jiang Shaoheng was slightly stunned.

"What the hell do you want? Shufei, do you also want to rebel like them, and go against the grain. Empress Dowager Zhou said as she waved her hand.

When Jiang Shaoheng saw this situation, he heard Tang Yuncao say this, since Tang Yuncao said that Jian Huaizhen was fine, then it must be fine, so he didn't hesitate anymore and prepared to leave.

At this time, he glanced at Tang Yuncao, and saw that although Tang Yuncao was blocking in front of him, her body seemed to be weak and impervious, obviously she had been drugged and lost her martial arts.

He no longer hesitated, grabbed Tang Yuncalyx casually, and then performed light skills and jumped to the beam.

Seeing this situation, Empress Dowager Zhou was immediately furious, and hurriedly shouted: "Come on, catch Jiang Shaoheng and Concubine Shu." If you can't catch the living, you will catch the dead, and you will see the people alive and the corpses when you die. ”

Zhu Jianshen hesitated for a moment, but re-ordered and said: "You must save Concubine Shu's life, and you can't let Concubine Shu be harmed." ”

"Son, why are you still so soft-hearted so far? You can't make a big mistake because of a momentary soft-heartedness, how can you do this? Empress Dowager Zhou said angrily.

Zhu Jianshen didn't say a word.

In fact, after Jiang Shaoheng took Tang Yunxu and the two of them to the beam together, he didn't go anywhere, he knew that it must be very unsafe outside the palace now, if he wanted to go out at this time, it would not be so easy at all, so he chose to do nothing.

But Empress Dowager Zhou didn't know about this situation now, they only thought that in this situation, what Jiang Shaoheng wanted to do must be to take Tang Yuncao and run away quickly, so a large number of chasing soldiers ran outside, and they tossed for more than two hours, and it was almost dawn that the palace was a little quieter.

Jiang Shaoheng and Tang Yuncao lay on the beam for more than two hours, and when they saw that everyone was gone, he jumped down from the beam with Tang Yunxu.

Jiang Shaoheng looked around and found that there was no one outside, obviously no one expected that Jiang Shaoheng and Tang Yunxu would continue to hide here at this time, but now it was a blue sky and daylight, and it was not so easy to escape, the only thing to do was to stay in Tang Yunxu's palace for a day, waiting to figure out the situation.

Jiang Shaoheng put Tang Yuncao down, and then asked her in a low voice, "Yuncao, what happened in the palace?" I heard that the emperor imprisoned the eldest princess, how could such a thing happen? You and I know how high the eldest princess's martial arts are, how could the emperor be able to deal with her so easily? ”

"Actually, it's a long story. After the eldest princess returned from her last trip to Huaiming Garden, she was ambushed on the way, and the princess's aunt found the emperor's jade pendant on the assassin, and she was very angry with the emperor in her heart. I don't know how this matter reached the ears of the emperor and the Empress Dowager Zhou, and after the emperor knew about it, he naturally became even more uneasy. He was afraid that the eldest princess would abolish him, and support King Jing as the emperor, so under the persuasion of the Empress Dowager Zhou, he decided to strike first. ”

Jiang Shaoheng said with some puzzlement: "Even if he strikes first, the eldest princess shouldn't be able to be arrested, what is the situation here?" ”

"It's not the Empress Dowager Zhou yet. Empress Dowager Zhou has always been on a collision with Empress Dowager Qian, she hates Empress Dowager Qian for being blind and lame, but she still won the favor of the emperor, so she naturally refuses to give up. After she heard that the emperor was going to deal with the eldest princess, she pleaded with the emperor to start with the Empress Dowager Qian, who had always been friendly with the eldest princess, and if the Empress Dowager Zhou wanted to deal with the eldest princess, there was no way at all. But starting with the Empress Dowager Qian, this is not the case at all. ”

Jiang Shaoheng is so smart, when he heard her say this, he was shocked in his heart, and he vaguely understood what was going on.

And Tang Yunxu continued: "The next thing is very simple. Empress Dowager Zhou took people to imprison Empress Dowager Qian, and said that Empress Dowager Qian had something to do with the death of the former emperor, and Empress Dowager Qian would be executed no matter what. This matter reached the ears of the eldest princess, she was naturally very angry, so she took Aunt Scattered to save the Empress Dowager Qian, when she came to the Empress Dowager Qian's palace, not long after entering, she found that the Empress Dowager Qian's palace had been surrounded by archers. It is very easy for the eldest princess to escape, but on the one hand, she has to take care of the Queen Mother Qian, and on the other hand, she has to take care of Aunt Scatter, so it is not so easy. Empress Dowager Zhou asked the eldest princess to be captured, and after the eldest princess hesitated again and again, she decided to arrest her aunt and Empress Dowager Qian for the sake of her aunt and Qian. As soon as the eldest princess was captured, the Empress Dowager Zhou sent someone to give her poison, and the poison taken by the eldest princess was developed by Meng Lihua in Miao Jiang, I forgot to tell you, that person She is the female national teacher of Miao Jiang, her real name is Meng Lihua, and it is not the identity she said before, everything is a lie. After the eldest princess took her poison, she couldn't use her martial arts at all, and the Empress Dowager Zhou was afraid that I would save them, so she also sent someone to put that kind of poison in my meal, so I became soft now, and I couldn't use any martial arts. It's just that the poison in the eldest princess must be far more serious than the poison in me. I don't know what the situation is in Wan'an Palace now, that's all I know. ”

After hearing her say this, Jiang Shaoheng nodded, and Jiang Shaoheng sighed: "I didn't expect that the whole country would be in the hands of the Empress Dowager Zhou, a woman, I really never dreamed of it." ”

Tang Yuncao raised his head and asked, "Uncle Jiang, what are you going to do next?" ”

Jiang Shaoheng thought for a while and said, "Now that the matter is now, I don't know what to do. What I can do now is to wait until the evening, take you out of the palace while no one is paying attention, and then plan slowly with your master and Uncle Ji. Your Uncle Ji has now borrowed 100,000 elite soldiers from North Korea, and I believe that Luo Kailing's troops may not be able to resist it, and it is still unknown who will kill the deer. ”

After Tang Yuncao heard what he said, he nodded silently, so the two of them stayed in Tang Yuncao's palace for a day, and at night, Jiang Shaoheng took Tang Yuncao out of the palace together, and then took advantage of the night to escape.

After he escaped, he returned to Jian's Mansion, and when he arrived at Jian's Mansion, after he entered, Ji Qihan hurriedly greeted him, and Ji Qihan said in a loud voice: "You are finally back, I am thinking about whether to enter the palace tonight to save you." ”

"Where's Brother Fang Yu?" Jiang Shaoheng looked around and asked.

"He's long since returned, and he's gone out now to inquire about you. He came back last night, but he was slightly injured, but not very badly. ”

"Is my master hurt?" Tang Yunxu asked a little nervously.

"It's okay, don't worry." Ji Qihan asked, "What is the situation?" ”

So Jiang Shaoheng told Ji Qihan what Tang Yunxu told him.

Ji Qihan sighed and said: "Speaking of which, the Empress Dowager Zhou is to blame for all this, if it weren't for the Empress Dowager Zhou's wanton instigation of the emperor, the emperor might not have done such a foolish thing." What should we do now? ”

Jiang Shaoheng thought for a while and said, "As far as I can see, the most important thing we are doing now is to rescue the eldest princess, as well as Luoxue and Brother Wen Ying first. Otherwise, they will have our hostages in their hands, and we will have a large army in our hands, and the army will not dare to act lightly. ”

A few people were talking, Fang Yu had already walked in, Tang Yuncao and Fang Yu were the most cordial, she saw Fang Yu walking in, and saw that he was injured on his hand, so she asked, "Master, are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine, Yun Cao, why did you come out?"

"It was Uncle Jiang who rescued me." Tang Yunxu told the situation again.

After finishing speaking, Fang Yu hesitated for a moment and said: "After I went to Wan'an Palace to lure them away last night, I secretly ran inside to see the eldest princess, I thought I could see the princess sister in Wan'an Palace, who knew that the princess sister was not in Wan'an Palace at all." ”

"What? You actually entered Wan'an Palace last night? ”

"Of course, we only entered the palace with great difficulty, is all I have to do is to lure away those guards for you, so that you can rescue Yun Cao? If I don't see the princess, how can I die. But in fact, it turned out that the princess sister was not in Wan'an Palace at all. There are so many people around Wan'an Palace, it's just a disguise, and if we want to save the princess, I'm afraid it's a little difficult. Until now, no one knows where the princess sister is. ”

Everyone couldn't help but hesitate for a while, their hearts were very heavy, in this case, even if Ji Qihan borrowed soldiers, they didn't dare to act rashly, because Jian Huaizhen and Jian Wenying, Princess Luoxue fell into their hands, if something happened, the first thing to suffer at that time would be Jian Huaizhen and Jian Wenying, as well as Luoxue.

Ji Qihan frowned and said: "Presumably, the imperial court now knows about the 100,000 Korean soldiers stationed outside the capital, but this is fine, I believe that in this way, the Empress Dowager Zhou will not dare to act rashly." I think what we should do now is how to get the princess out of them, what are your plans? ”

Everyone thought about it, Tang Yuncao seemed to remember something, and said with some hesitation: "I have a way, or I can find out where the princess and aunt are, but this method is extremely dangerous, and I don't know if it works or not." ”

"If you have any way, just say it, if there is a way, it is better than no way." Ji Qihan said anxiously.

Tang Yunxu nodded and said, "I think there may be someone who is willing to tell us where the princess and aunt are hiding, and if he doesn't know, he may also help us find out and tell us." ”

"Oh? Who is that person you are talking about? Everyone thought it was strange and asked.

"Wan Zhen'er."

"Wan Zhen'er? Don't laugh anymore. Ji Qihan laughed and said, "Wan Zhen'er, a poisonous woman, how could she tell us where the princess sister is hiding?" She wished that something had happened to the princess sister, so that she could take control of the harem as soon as possible. ”
