Chapter 458: The news is broken
"No, no, there was a prince who asked us to give the dagger to the prince. We were poisoned by him, saying that the prince would give us an antidote when he saw the dagger. ”
At that time, Lin Xin'er confessed that someone on the road found the dagger on the road and said that it was picked up, but now that they have entered the Xuan Wang's Mansion and have been arrested as assassins, it is time to tell the truth, how can they see the face of the prince if they don't tell the truth?
"You're from the north? That's a boy who is less than twenty years old? Yang Chen held the meniscus dagger tightly, and then thought of Lin Xin'er.
"Yes, yes!" The two nodded in unison.
Yang Chen held the dagger and didn't make a sound for a moment.
The two of them were furious when Yang Chen looked at them.
"Ask the housekeeper to hand over the dagger to the prince as soon as possible and give us the antidote." The two pleaded.
"Are you saying that the prince asked you to exchange the antidote with the prince?" Yang Chen asked.
"Yes." The two nodded vigorously.
"You should be soldiers guarding the northern frontier, right? When you return to the capital, do you have your general's edict? Yang Chen asked again.
The two of them shook their heads, "We were killed by someone, and our lives were almost lost, how can we have a general's order." Please also ask the housekeeper to let us see the prince as soon as possible, give us the antidote, and we will return to the north as soon as possible. ”
"It turned out that he escaped from the battle, and he should be killed in the barracks, right?" Yang Chen sneered.
"This ...... We are a last resort...... "The two of them were a little weak-hearted, as soldiers, they knew the strict rules in the barracks best.
"As long as you escape, even if there are 10,000 reasons, it is the same crime, do you still dare to see the prince?" Yang Chen said, "Although the northern frontier is not under the direct command of the prince, it also has that power to deal with a deserter. ”
"However, if we don't see the prince, we are also a dead ......" The two were in a dilemma.
"Don't worry, you can't die, because you're not poisoned at all." Yang Chen said, "The dagger has been sent to King Xuan's Mansion, you leave as soon as possible, it's better to be called Huazi, if the prince doesn't see you and doesn't bother to look for you, even if you are lucky." ”
"We're not poisoned?" The two were not quite convinced.
"Do you know how to write the word bluff?" Yang Chen said, "Soldiers don't get tired of deceit, itself is the most common strategy, will you feel unfamiliar?" ”
When Yang Chen cleared up the facts from these two people, he knew that Lin Xin'er, who had fallen off the cliff and lost her whereabouts, was using these two people to deliver news to King Xuan and report to King Xuan that he was safe.
Lin Xin'er has gone far to the northern frontier, and King Xuan on this side of the capital is also in dire straits, and he even has to be implicated with a dagger......
"Leave as soon as possible, and if someone catches copying out the details of the two of you, don't blame me for not giving you a chance to live. If you are not poisoned, but you are executed, you will lose more than you gain. Yang Chen said.
"We're here to bring a letter to the prince......" The two of them looked at the dagger in Yang Chen's hand.
"What letter? A dagger? Yang Chen waved the dagger in his hand, "Do you know the meaning of this dagger?" Do you know the man's intention to send you a dagger? ”
The two men shook their heads.
"I can tell you that the prince you saw is a famous killer in the rivers and lakes, and he asked you to bring a dagger to the prince in order to declare war on the prince, that is to say, to tell the prince that he will come to take the prince's life, this crescent moon dagger is the killer's exclusive token, and whoever the dagger is sent to is the target of his assassination." Yang Chen said.
"Huh?" The two of them gasped.
"Send a message to the killer, do you still expect the prince to let you go?" Yang Chen continued, "If I knew the truth, I would only hide far away, not only to hide from the prince, but also to hide from the killer, we really can't afford this letter." ”
As he spoke, Yang Chen waved his hand and threw the dagger into the corner, and the blade of the knife did not sink into the wall.
"I am also well aware of the prince's attitude towards things, and kindly give you a chance, if you don't believe my words, or if you want to meet the prince face-to-face, you can wait here, wait for the killer to come to the capital, verify whether what I said is true, and when the time comes, you will not only be deserters, but also accomplices of the assassins." Yang Chen said, preparing to leave.
"Butler, we don't know anything!" The two men hurriedly argued.
Yang Chen stopped and turned around, "I know you don't know, so I gave you a chance." But you have heard of the prestige of the prince, he can't tolerate the slightest mistake, as the housekeeper of the Xuan Palace, I also try my best to resist some unnecessary troubles for the prince. ”
"That'...... We're just gone? Two people asked.
"I can let you go as ignorant beggars and leave the capital as soon as possible, I say it again, this is the chance." Yang Chen said, "Next, I will help the prince solve the matter with the killer, if the two of you are implicated again, I will not be soft." ”
The two of them looked at each other, thought about it, and decided to follow Yang Chen's words and leave, they were just mixed salaries when they were soldiers, and they didn't understand all these messy things outside. Listening to Yang Chen's words, he was involved in a very serious matter, and if he could dodge, of course he had to dodge it quickly.
Yang Chen opened the door of the house, asked the people guarding outside to send the two ignorant and troublesome Hanako away, and turned around and walked to the corner of the wall to pull out the dagger and put it away.
This matter was personally interrogated by him alone, and the crescent dagger was also put away by him in time, even if it was a secret past.
He wanted to take advantage of Lin Xin'er's departure from the capital to let the prince put away his heart, and he must not let the prince be disturbed by Lin Xin'er again.
The prince hasn't let go of Lin Xin'er yet, he helped the prince to put it down, first ...... This dagger can no longer fall into the hands of the prince, and it will bring out the memory of the prince.
Back in the study, Yang Chen saw that Ximen Jingxuan had just come out of the secret passage, and he was about to enter the palace again.
Recently, Ximen Jingxuan has stayed in Jinyang Palace most of the time to deal with various affairs, and only when he feels particularly tired does he go back to the palace, go to Mo Yaxuan to go around, sit in the study, and also go to the secret room where he met Lin Xin'er for the first time.
Yang Chen knew that Ximen Jingxuan was thinking of Lin Xin'er like this.
Ximen Jingxuan said that he didn't have anyone he loved, so he didn't understand his state of mind.
Yang Chen believes that if you love a woman who is full of thorns and is extremely dangerous, you must give up this love.
Lord Wang, please forgive your subordinates for their disobedience in this matter. Yang Chen stood at the door of the study and said secretly.
"Isn't there any news of Xin'er? Ben Wang just squinted in the secret room for a while, as if he had dreamed of Xin'er. Ximen Jingxuan saw that Yang Chen was coming and asked.
"Nope." Yang Chen could only answer two words.
"Oh...... That girl, who didn't know some news for so long, really wanted to grind the heart of the king. Ximen Jingxuan said leisurely.
