Chapter 160: Rescuing the Hostages

The lights in the Yonghua Hall are dim, and the dilapidated doors and windows are blown by the autumn wind. The hall was empty, and there was not even a guard at the door.

The veil faded and slowly walked to the court, looking around, his eyes sharp.

She hated that she had caused them to suffer this sin. She blamed herself for coming too late to get them out of the plight sooner.

She didn't dare to continue to think deeply, she was afraid that she would not be able to suppress the hatred in her heart and make an impulsive move.

Thankfully, it will be over soon.

Sheng Lan lit a candle from the house and walked over carefully to cover it, "Miss, the moon festival should be over soon, right?" The princess and the princess haven't come back yet, will there be a change? ”

Hua Yan shook his head and said awe-inspiringly: "No matter what happens, even if the entire palace is overturned, the concubine and the princess, I will be saved." ”

She suddenly thought of something, and then asked, "When Xing Antai came to invite the concubine, did you see that you didn't say anything?" ”

Sheng Lan shook her head suspiciously: "At that time, I was leading the concubine to Huaxiang, and I happened to meet him on the way, but he didn't say anything, only invited the concubine to the lookout." I don't know if he recognized me or not. But even so, when he saw the concubine walking out of the cold palace and coming to Huaxiang, he should have asked. ”

Hua Yan nodded, and had an estimate in his heart.

"The princess is resting, and the minister Xing Antai will retire! In the future, the concubine and the princess need help, and the ministers cannot be relieved! The minister wanted to remind the concubine that the night was forbidden, so she should not walk around the flower lane. Outside the Yonghua Palace, Xing Antai sent the princess and the princess back to the palace, and inadvertently glanced at the palace gate, so he said goodbye.

The concubine didn't understand the meaning of Xing Antai's words, and smiled blankly, "Thank you Lord Xing for sending me." ”

Huayan heard the sound outside the door, knew that the concubine and the princess had returned, turned around and went to the door, and just halfway through, they met on all sides.

"Sister Yan!" Xin Nan was the first to recognize the face of the painting and happily jumped up and hugged him.

Seeing her unusually thin and thin arms, the painting couldn't help but pause slightly.

"Sister Yan, you're finally here! I know you'll definitely come back to us! Xin Nan hugged Huayan's arm excitedly and couldn't help but choke up.

Huayan patted her shoulder gently, full of guilt: "It's me who is not good, you have suffered the harm, I am late......"

Xin Nan shook his head vigorously, "No! Sister Yan, you can't be blamed for this. Seeing that you are really fine, and seeing you back, the concubine and I don't know how happy we are! ”

"As long as I'm alive, I'll definitely come back and take you away." Hua Yan brushed Xinnan's long yellow hair with pity.

Xin Nan nodded happily and suddenly asked, "But where are we going?" ”

"Taoyuan."

"Taoyuan, is my mother there?!" Xin Nan said excitedly.

Hua Yan nodded.

"Mother?!" The concubine exclaimed, and hurriedly covered her mouth again.

Huayan remembered that he hadn't saluted the concubine yet, so he turned to the concubine again, and said gratefully: "Thank you for the grace of the concubine back then, Huayan can't repay it." ”

Remembering that year, the concubine's eyes were red, and she quickly helped her face up, "You have suffered, it is all within the power of this palace, Miss Hua doesn't have to worry about it." She wiped away her tears, and then asked, "Kang'er, is the car okay?" ”

"All is well, the concubine will be able to meet them soon."

The concubine grabbed Hua Yan's hand gratefully, "Thank you for your hard work!" ”

Hua Yan raised his head and held the hands of the concubine and Xin Nan tightly, "Don't worry, I will take you out of the palace today!" ”

"But if the Queen Mother finds out that we are not in the palace, what will it be?" Xin Nan remembered the cold face of the Queen Mother, and said in a panic.

Sheng Lan stepped forward and comforted softly: "The princess doesn't have to worry, if you burn down this palace, everything will be solved, and the queen mother doesn't have the energy to investigate thoroughly, she can't wait for something to happen to the concubine and the princess!" ”

"Without further ado, go to Flower Lane!" Huayan instructed, took out the jade flute, and led the way in front.

The concubine grabbed Hua Yan's hand and said worriedly: "No! Lord Xing specially instructed that he couldn't go to Flower Lane! ”

Huayan turned around and comforted with a smile: "The concubine just rest assured that she will follow me." ”

Xin Nan happily agreed: "Don't worry, concubine, Sister Yan is amazing, according to what she said, it must be right!" ”

Sheng Lan threw the candle in his hand to the grass that had already been sprinkled with oil, chased forward, clapped his hands and said, "Then Xing An Taiding knew about our existence and deliberately told us about it!" The guards of Flower Lane are the weakest point in the palace, so when he said not to go to Flower Lane, he must have signaled us to go there. ”

The concubine suddenly realized, and while following closely behind Hua Yan, she said in surprise: "Lord Xing is also your person?" ”

Sheng Lan glanced at Hua Yan and replied, "He is not one of ours, but he must be of the same kind of person as us." ”

Xin Nan tilted his head and wondered, "What kind of category do you belong to?" ”

"When the road is uneven, draw a knife to help!"

There are no traces along the way, the autumn wind is sluggish, sweeping away the brilliant flowers of the past, and the flower alley full of dead leaves, residual flowers, and depression has long been forgotten.

However, at the end of the flower alley, the back of a man appeared, holding a long sword, standing silently, obviously waiting for a long time.

Hua Yan stopped slightly, dropped the jade flute, and stared at the man: "General Nie, since you are here, why don't you come forward and speak?" ”

The shadow moved, and slowly turned around, "You are so bold that you dare to trespass on the palace!" Nie Feng raised his sword, his eyes cold.

Hua Yan chuckled, and was about to step forward to answer, but Xin Nan nervously pulled his sleeve, "Sister Yan, be careful of that person, he is the Queen Mother's henchman!" ”

Sheng Lan pressed Xin Nan, "Don't worry, Miss will be fine." ”

While he was talking, he felt a cool breeze behind him.

Sheng Lan exclaimed: "Miss! Be careful! ”

Hua Yan had already noticed it, and without thinking about it, he quickly raised his right hand and slapped it at the gust of wind.

Nie Feng didn't notice it, and was struck away by the palm power of the painted face.

What a strong internal force! The painting is really as powerful as the legend of the rivers and lakes!

Nie Feng clutched his chest and looked at Huayan in surprise.

If she used a little more internal force, she would have been shocked to the point that her meridians would have been shattered and she would have vomited blood and died!

Hua Yan slowly withdrew his hand and said awe-inspiringly, "Is this how the general talks to people?" ”

"General Nie, you said you would let us go, why did you go back on your word?!" Sheng Lan stood in front of Hua Yan and questioned Nie Feng.

Nie Feng wiped the slight blood stains on the corner of his mouth, and said coldly: "I only said to let you go." ”

"You! ......”

Without waiting for Shenglan to argue, Nie Feng swung his sword and attacked again.

But when the cold light flashed, a whirlwind slid like a bullet and reached the chest of the painted face.

Sheng Lan reflexively blocked in front of Hua Yan, and the cold knife stabbed into her right arm, and the blood instantly stained half of her sleeve. Her eyes widened in disbelief, she couldn't believe that Nie Feng would really kill the killer.

"You ......" Nie Feng panicked, full of guilt, and his stiff hand could no longer move.

Hua Yan angrily slashed out a palm to repel Nie Feng, turned around to hold Sheng Lan, and quickly pulled out the sword.

Fortunately, Nie Feng stopped his strength in time, and the wound was not deep.

The concubine and Xin Nan squatted aside, hurriedly bandaging her wounds.

"I ...... I don't have a heart......" Nie Feng wanted to step forward to explain, but he stood halfway and didn't have the courage to continue.

Huayan stared to the side, doubts gradually rose in her heart, she remembered that Xu Xianzhi had said that when Liu Yu was dying, he had passed the posthumous photo to two people, one was his father, and the other never appeared.

Now Nie Feng obviously knew the news of her entering the palace for a long time, but he came alone, and there was no movement in the palace, but he was suspected of being an accomplice.

Looking at him again, although he waved his knife at himself, he didn't show his killing intentions with every move, it seemed that he just wanted to test himself.

What's going on with Shenglan?

Hua Yan thought to herself, and gradually had an answer.

She shook her head and said sarcastically with a smile: "General Nie has wasted the friendship of fighting side by side back then, even for the sake of her as a weak woman, she shouldn't be so ruthless." ”

Nie Feng originally just wanted to test Hua Yan's strength, but he didn't want to hurt Sheng Lan by mistake, hearing Hua Yan say this, he felt more and more guilty in his heart, and bowed his head angrily.

Time was pressing, and Hua Yan stopped joking, and stepped forward to probe: "I heard that when my father was imprisoned, General Nie was the steward there, do you remember what last words my father left?" ”

Speaking of his father, the expression on his face became indifferent again.

Nie Feng raised his head and sighed: "Master Hua has suffered a lot of grievances, and he never complained until his death. He wants you not to lose your will because of his departure and to live strongly. ”

Hua Yan's heart trembled, and he held back his tears, "The matter of the secret edict, does the general still want to play dumb riddles with me?" ”

Nie Feng was stunned, "How do you know?" ”

"Now, when will you not show up?" Huayan stared at Nie Feng and asked.

"You know everything? ......" Nie Feng said stunned.

Huayan turned around and wiped away his tears, regained his cold and arrogant expression, and said with his back hand: "At the beginning, the emperor dictated the secret edict, if Liu Yifu was in power and had no government, he could be deposed, and the executors were you and my father, is this a fact?" ”

"That's true."

"Now that the court has no way, it is exhausted. Are you willing to work with me and the three princes to support the right path? Huayan turned around and said solemnly.

Nie Feng said awe-inspiringly: "I've been waiting for this day for a long time!" ”

"Okay, detailed plan, I will send someone to contact you, you can rest assured, the owner of this Taiji Palace will change hands in less than a month at the earliest. Now there is one more thing that you need to take care of for me. ”

"What?"

"The owner of Zhaoyang Palace seems to have discovered my identity, and you are trying to find a way to shut her up."

Nie Feng nodded and arched his hand: "Girl, don't worry." Carriages and horses have been prepared outside the palace gate, and all the cadres have been transferred out by me. ”

Hua Yan nodded with satisfaction, and led the group of people to walk outside the palace gate, "You are not fighting alone. Hua Yan said with his head sideways, and quickened his pace forward.

When she crossed her arms, Sheng Lan couldn't help but glance back, she couldn't understand Nie Feng's actions, sometimes warm and sometimes cold, sometimes close, sometimes distant, making her unpredictable.

Thinking of this, she smiled, isn't she such a person? And such people will never want people to snoop, then they will never be able to understand each other, maybe the original encounter was a misunderstanding.

Nie Feng looked back suddenly, he didn't understand Sheng Lan's mental struggle, and only imprinted her last smile in his heart.

A roaring fire gradually lit up in the east, illuminating half the sky.

The sound of gongs and cries for help came.

Painting Yan swept on the horseback, looking back and staring, the golden firelight in mid-air reflected the scene on the ground, the golden palace was crumbling, the colorful pearl hairpin was shattered, and the bones of the golden silk silk were gone, after all, it was a mirage, and Nan Ke dreamed.

Should I come back? I think I'll be back.
