Chapter 277: A Secret Letter from Chang'an
Li Teng'er snorted coldly: "It's so easy to say, do you know that the arrogant soldiers will be defeated!" β
When Chu Mubai was surprised by Li Teng'er's fierce tone, the prince seemed to be accustomed to it, shook his head helplessly, and spoke with doting: "What kind of tone do you talk to your brother?" It's getting bigger and smaller, it's really arrogant and indulgent. β
Li Teng'er was obviously stunned, and then laughed out loud: "Okay, it's Teng'er who is rude, don't be angry." β
The prince snorted lightly: "Did you really treat your brother as a frog at the bottom of the well?" Although I don't leave the house, the wind and grass in the west are all in my brother's heart.
Uncle Lingwang and several of them broke their heads again and again, saying that I was sick and weak, and cursing this prince was a premature death, and they were eyeing the throne and plotting rebellion. This prince has long hated to go out of the house to compete with them, so that those old horsemen can know the depths, and see if they dare to bully you in the future. β
"Absolutely not," Li Teng'er vetoed: "If they ask, since you are not suffering from a solid illness, why do you want to be confined to the prince's mansion under the pretext of illness and not go out, how can you speak?" Could it be that you are still out of the mountains? My father said that you can't take a step out of this prince's mansion unless you have to. β
The prince was dumbfounded: "Actually, in the final analysis, you still don't have confidence in me. β
"It's not that there is no self-confidence, but the facts." Li Teng'er said seriously: "You just have to be your idle prince. The affairs in the court are naturally up to me, Li Teng'er. As soon as this bow and crossbow arrives, my 3,000 cavalry can be one against one hundred, and I don't believe that Uncle Ling Wang and they dare to act rashly. Now I just hope that he will change his mind as soon as possible. β
Li Teng'er said that he was full of ambition and confidence, and later he had some unconcealable sentimentality.
The prince hesitated for a moment, no longer retorted, and asked cautiously, "Have you seen him?" β
Li Teng'er only said "um" softly.
"He's still holding a grudge and won't come back?"
Li Teng'er sighed leisurely: "He didn't even listen to my begging. β
"The accident hit him too hard, and it was inevitable that he would be difficult to break for a while."
Li Teng'er was a little worried: "Father's body is not as good as day by day, I don't know how long I can hold up this Xiliang." To put it mildly, if one day my father suddenly dies and we are caught off guard, can you and I stabilize the situation surrounded by wolves? In the event of civil strife, if Chang'an takes advantage of the situation, we will surely perish. β
"Don't worry, he won't sit idly by."
"Let's hope so." Li Teng'er was obviously a little gloomy.
"What about Chang'an? How did you feel about fighting Na Mo Guhan twice? β
"Sensei." Li Teng'er said dejectedly.
The prince chuckled, as if he was deliberately teasing her: "What's wrong?" Isn't it an opponent? β
Li Teng'er said with annoyance: "I really overestimated myself. The Emperor of Chang'an looked straightforward, but he was actually very cunning. I haven't taken the slightest advantage since I entered Chang'an, I think, if it weren't for his sincere treatment of Chu Yuehua and how much he was grateful to me, I'm afraid that my three thousand bows and crossbows would not be able to bring back to Xiliang safe and sound, and he would definitely do something secretly. β
The crown prince bowed his head: "Not to mention anything else for the time being, after he ascended the throne, he was able to fight against the Chang family in just these years, which shows that he is not a simple person, and his mind is very comparable." Do you think that with a little carving insect skills, you can provoke the hatred between him and the Chang family, and immediately attack regardless of it, and be profited by your fisherman? β
"Originally, I didn't have much expectations, anyway, I was aiming for a bow and crossbow, and if I could succeed, I would make a profit without losing money."
The prince said "um": "Chu Yuehua has woken up?" β
Li Teng'er nodded: "After taking the blood ginseng, she was awake in just two days, she was really a big life, Chang Zhiyi had so many dead soldiers to encircle and suppress Fenglin, she could still save a breath and rush out of the encirclement." If the sword deviates even half an inch, it will surely die. β
"I don't know if Chu Yuehua died in the hands of Chang Zhiyi, what would be the situation in Chang'an now?"
"The Emperor of Chang'an is desperate and loses both with the Chang family, which is a difficult time for us. It's a pity ......"
"The hero is sad to pass the beauty pass, the hegemony of the country or something, it is insignificant."
Li Teng'er sighed again, faintly with sadness: "Sometimes I envy that Chu Yuehua, all the good sons and daughters in the world are desperate for her, which makes people jealous and envious." β
"Are you jealous of Chu Mubai's treatment of Chu Yuehua, right?"
Hearing him suddenly mention his name, Chu Mubai on the roof couldn't help but feel a tense in his heart.
Li Teng'er puffed up angrily: "Why are you talking nonsense again? β
The prince smiled "hehe": "When Chu Mubai led the army to attack my Xiliang territory, you regret that you can't compete with him and see his heroic demeanor." Since I came back from Chang'an a few years ago, I have been thinking about him, do you think I can't see your thoughts?
I heard that you also made an excuse to let Chu Mubai escort you all the way back to Xiliang, and you were jealous with Chu Mubai's fiancΓ©e on the way, do you dare to say, don't you have any thoughts about that Chu Mubai? You have to know that the Chu family and Xiliang are feuding, Chu Yuehua will not marry into our Xiliang, and Chu Mubai will not marry you. Don't be delusional. β
"But Chu Lingchuan died at the hands of Chang Zhiyi, not our Xiliang!" Li Teng'er stubbornly retorted.
And so it was! What Yuehua said is true, at the beginning of the battle of Cang'er Mountain, the culprit was really Chang Zhiyi!
Chu Mubai remembered the tragic situation of the battle of Cang'er Mountain, and his heart was excited, and the tiles under him made a crisp sound of "click".
Then Li Teng'er and the crown prince immediately turned their faces sideways and asked in surprise: "Who?" β
Chu Mubai saw that his deeds were revealed, and he didn't dare to delay, so he immediately got up and jumped, wanting to escape from the prince's mansion.
As soon as he got up, he immediately alarmed the guards in the house, and they all flocked to block his retreat. Behind him, Li Teng'er had already jumped on the roof and chased in his direction.
Chu Mubai didn't dare to fight, but he just made a few false moves, forcing back the guards who intercepted him head-on, and before he could escape, Li Teng'er had already followed.
"Who are you? What to do here? β
Chu Mubai didn't dare to speak, lest Li Teng'er would find out his identity as soon as he opened his mouth. Without saying a word, he immediately raised his sword to meet him.
Li Teng'er made a move to resist, and he was not afraid: "Nameless thief, when this princess captures you alive, and then asks for an explanation from those old foxes, I don't believe that you can still be hard-mouthed." β
The long sword in Chu Mubai's hand was like a long rainbow running through the sun, and his moves were ruthless, forcing Li Teng'er to retreat again and again.
"Good skills!" Li Teng'er was in a hurry in the face of a strong enemy, but he still talked and laughed freely: "One move and one style are full of righteousness, but it's a pity that people are not on the right path, and they help to abuse." β
Chu Mubai knew that she must have misunderstood her identity, and her suspicion was that the Spirit King and others had sent her to investigate the truth, she smiled coldly in her heart, and the long sword was like a spirit snake, she grabbed a sword flower and went straight to Li Teng'er's door. Li Teng'er dodged in a hurry, and Jian Feng cut off a lock of long hair on her head.
Li Teng'er was shocked into a cold sweat, and she no longer dared to underestimate the enemy.
"I didn't expect that I, Xiliang, would hide the dragon and crouching tiger, and I still have such skills!"
Chu Mubai took the opportunity to regain his momentum, stepped a little, and rose from the ground, like a bird with wings, and went out of the prince's mansion, which was even faster than the locust arrow feathers behind him. Li Teng'er led his troops to chase after him.
Chu Mubai often wandered around the Prince's Mansion these days, knew the terrain here well, and had already found a way out before the action, so under the pressure of Li Teng'er like a shadow, he fled to a nearby house unharmed, and a harrier turned over and hung upside down under a protruding eaves, clinging to his body to hide his figure.
Listening to the footsteps on the street, it is obvious that Li Teng'er is unwilling to give up, and is still searching for his whereabouts everywhere.
Chu Mubai held his breath tightly, hiding his breath, and did not dare to be careless.
Li Teng'er beat his horse and commanded the guards to sweep through like a gust of wind in front of him, and then turned back again: "It should be hidden nearby, and the princess will search carefully." β
The soldiers dispersed, knocking on doors and searching them.
The sick prince did not come out of the house with him, obviously this rumor of staying at home is true. Shicai accidentally made a noise, and he discovered his whereabouts with Li Teng'er, which shows that his kung fu is not weak. And when he talked to Li Teng'er, he also said with great ambition that he wanted to go out of the house and compete with those people with ill intentions, obviously, his illness was deliberately disguised, and Taoguang was obscure, he should be a powerful character.
So, what is he jealous of? Why don't you dare to step out of the Prince's Mansion?
Seeing that he was about to search for the person where Chu Mubai was hiding, Chu Mubai held his breath, thinking about how to deal with it if something happened.
Listening to the sound of hooves in the distance, a fast horse galloped from the other side of the street. The people on the horse were dusty, and when they saw Li Teng'er, they immediately turned over and fell off the horse, and waved at her: "Your Royal Highness Princess Qiqi, there is an urgent secret letter." β
Li Teng'er was stunned: "Where?" β
The messenger lowered his voice: "Chang'an's secret letter." β
Li Teng'er stretched out her hand and couldn't wait: "Hurry up and give it to me." β
The messenger took out a secret letter from his bosom and respectfully presented it to Li Teng'er.
Chu Mubai's heartbeat suddenly became rapid, and he was hesitating whether he should suddenly make a move and seize the secret letter in Li Teng'er's hand!
That secret letter, maybe it was the letterhead of the Chang family betraying Chang'an, or maybe it was the information that Xiliang arranged to find out in Chang'an, anyway, it was all a secret of the court.
Could it be the one who leaked the news of the 3,000 bows?
I checked with Shao Xiang and Han Yuchu for a long time, but I didn't know what went wrong, and the news leaked. Now, this person's secret report may be close to him.
As long as he snatches this letter, he may be able to find clues in his handwriting and guess his identity.
