726, assassination
Rong Zhan's carriage moved forward slowly, he didn't bring too many people, in fact, Rong Zhan really had a lot of people, but he had arranged many people to escort Princess Yu back to Beijing, and there were other people in Lizhou, Rong Zhan didn't bring the guards arranged by the emperor, only his entourage from the palace.
It's icy and snowy, and there are snowflakes again in the morning, and this year's snow seems to be extraordinarily large. The road conditions are not good.
Rong Zhan did not ride a horse, but sat in the carriage, looking pampered.
Seeing that the snow was getting heavier and heavier, Miki asked, "Lord Wang, do we need to find a nearby place to rest?" ”
Rong Zhan replied, "Where are you now?" ”
Miki: "Ten miles of gang." ”
Rong Zhan raised the corners of his mouth as if he didn't seem to be there: "Inform me, there is probably a village five miles ahead, and we will rest there." ”
Miki replied yes.
As his carriage continued to move forward, Rong Zhan's eyes flashed with a slightly different meaning.
The snow was not easy to travel, and this time it was a lot of delays, but even so, everyone thought that they could rest in front of them, and they also sped up their pace.
The whistling wind kept ringing, Rong Zhan lowered his eyes, and kept twisting a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but there was a bit of murder.
Sure enough, just as the team marched to the dead wood forest, an arrow shot straight in, and it was about to take Rong Zhan's life immediately.
Rong Zhan had already prepared, and he dodged with one move, and the whole person jumped out of the carriage.
There was already an ambush here, and immediately someone continued to shoot arrows, and Rong Zhan waved the umbrella in his hand to dodge. No one knows how there is such a strange thing around him, and this umbrella is special, steel and iron, and the sharp arrow has no effect on it, and it falls to the ground in vain.
And the people he led were all strong martial artists, but they moved quickly. Someone rushed to the position where the arrows were shot.
At this time, the ambush people saw that these people were wearing armor, and it was freezing cold, and they thought that they were slightly bloated because they were wearing thick cotton clothes, but in fact, they were armor that could resist bows and arrows.
Archery is useless, you have to give up.
The man in black jumped out.
For a time, the scene was a mess.
The black-clothed man who came to assassinate Rong Zhan obviously had more people than Rong Zhan, but even so, Rong Zhan was not worried at all, and the people of Yuwangfu had a slight upper hand.
However, although it had the upper hand, the weather affected it, but it was not immediately resolved.
The fierce battle between the two anti-counters continued.
Soon, there was a sound of horses' hooves, Rong Zhan looked over, and saw that the group was not a bystander, but a person arranged by the local government, and the leader of the team was a person from the Criminal Department, Qi Zhizhou's henchman Lao Li.
"Lord Wang, it's too late!"
With a loud shout, he joined in, with their help, Rong Zhan was like a tiger, and he quickly controlled the people, and none of the people in black escaped, and they were all captured.
Rong Zhan had already seen who was the leader, and with a gentle smile, he came to one of the black-clothed men who were held down.
At this time, everyone noticed that Lord Yu was actually wearing a red dress today, which was extremely conspicuous, as if it was a fire, and it seemed to be the god of war who came out of the sea of bright red blood.
His face was peaceful, his eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and with a slight smile, he slowly stretched out his hand, his fingers were slender and white, and there was not a single trace of blood, but only in that moment, he lifted the face towel of the person who led the leader.
He smiled meaningfully and said slowly, "Zhou An." ”
There was no doubt at all.
Zhou An stared at Rong Zhan and said, "This is your strategy. ”
Rong Zhan shrugged his shoulders innocently, just like those sons in Beijing who didn't do anything and traveled all day long, very indifferent: "Yes, you know, but it's too late, isn't it?" ”
He pinched Zhou An's mouth all of a sudden, and he didn't know what to stuff in, and Zhou An fell down in a daze, unconscious.
Rong Zhan smiled faintly: "It's really useless." ”
Lao Li hesitated: "The prince ......"
Rong Zhan smiled: "You can't let him kill himself after all, right?" I don't care if the others are dead or alive,."
His behavior and his words are very discordant.
What kind of character this person is, no one knows.
On weekdays, I only hear about all kinds of intelligence and ability that are different from ordinary people, but after a long time, this person doesn't do anything, but it also gives people the feeling of a weak son.
After all, he is fair-skinned and a little different from ordinary people, and at first glance, his health is not very good.
But such a person will not give people such a feeling at such a time, but will only make people feel endlessly weird.
The coldness that penetrates into the bones makes people hairy.
Not to mention the captured man in black, even the guards sent by the local government felt panicked. I am afraid that this person will take out a knife and go over at once, and the white knife will go in and the red knife will come out.
It's just that everyone always thinks a little too much, but Rong Zhan instead began to wipe his hands, as if Zhou An was dirty, and the act itself just now made him nauseous.
He wiped it carefully, wiped it enough, threw the thing aside, and said: "Since Your Majesty has decreed that this matter should be investigated by the Criminal Department, I will not be involved, but what kind of crime is the assassination of the prince of the dynasty, your Criminal Department knows better than me." ”
The surname of the person from the Criminal Department is Li, Lao Li has been with Qi Zhizhou for more than 20 years, and he is also very familiar with this prince, so he replied rigorously and seriously: "I understand, don't worry, the prince." ”
Rong Zhan laughed, his smile was very bright.
Rao is a man, Lao Li still froze for a while, and only sighed that this person is really the pride of the sky.
With a good background, good looks, and amazing strategies, such a person is really favored by God.
However, it seems that it is precisely because it is good everywhere that it seems to be a little too easy to break. His childhood and adolescence were quite bumpy, and even his high status could not hide this.
Xu is Lao Li stared at Rong Zhan for too long, Rong Zhan "Huh? With a sigh, he looked at Lao Li.
Lao Li immediately retracted his gaze and replied, "Lord Wang, please get into the carriage, we have already arranged it at the next stop." ”
Rong Zhan raised his eyebrows: "Since the clown has been caught, there is no need for me to delay on the road." ”
He gave up the carriage and went directly to the sweaty BMW that had been following him, and turned over on the horse.
Only then did everyone understand that it was not that the horse did not ride, but that it had to wait for a suitable time.
He said, "You follow your normal steps." Miki, you and I rushed overnight. ”
But it doesn't wait for a moment, and the heart is like an arrow.
Before Lao Li could react, Prince Yu had already ridden away.
He looked at Zhou An, who had fallen to the ground, and immediately ordered: "Rest on the spot and prepare to go immediately." ”
However, Rao is like this, Lao Li also sighed, sure enough, their family Shangshu is wise and martial, and he actually noticed that something was wrong with Yu Wangye.
According to the character of Prince Yu, Princess Yu was not by his side, he did not rush to the capital immediately, but stopped for a day, which in itself shows that Prince Yu must have a plan.
Unexpectedly, the adults of their family guessed correctly.
Lao Li didn't know whether to lament the madness of the prince or whether to lament that the adults in their family were like gods, he only knew that people must be optimistic, otherwise there would be a big incident.
"Let's go."
***
Under normal circumstances, carrier pigeons and post stations are one of the sources that promote news to Beijing faster.
It's just that no one could have imagined that Rong Zhan would be hurrying day and night.
The emperor's news has not yet returned to Beijing, but he has already entered the capital, and entered at the last moment when the city gate was closed.
Rong Zhan ran for two days and one night, although he never rested, he didn't see any tiredness, but his face felt white and scary.
I don't know if it's like this, tired of rushing without rest, or it's the red clothes.
It's just that in the evening, the sky is getting dark, and the prince is like a ghost.
Rong Zhan entered the capital and did not enter the palace, he ran directly to the palace. Although he and Jiaoyue have not been separated for a long time, they miss it very much, and they can't wait to see him Jiaoyue in the next moment.
Yuwangfu had already received the news that Rong Zhan would return, and he also knew the day of Rong Zhan's return, and calculated that it would be the day after tomorrow at the earliest.
Although it was not imminent, thinking that Rong Zhan would be able to come back early, Jiao Yue was still happy, and she was busy ordering people to arrange the mansion well these days.
Although the snow in the capital is not as heavy as that in Lizhou, it is not small.
Jiao Yue stood under the eaves of the porch, just looking at the snow on the branches, thinking of Rong Zhan.
"The ...... of the King and Princess"
The housekeeper hurriedly ran over, and before she could speak, Jiaoyue was stunned.
She saw the man behind the butler who strode over, and that person was not a bystander, it was Rong Zhan.
She looked at Rong Zhan in astonishment, and murmured unconsciously: "Brother Zhan......"
The housekeeper looked back and saw that their prince was also fast enough, so he didn't need to tell him, and immediately retreated.
Rong Zhan stopped, stood there and looked at Jiao Yue, not moving.
Jiao Yue and Rong Zhan stood there looking at each other like this, but no one was willing to take one more step.
After days of hurrying, Rong Zhan's clothes already had some wrinkles, even such a bright color was very obvious, others could not see his tiredness, but Jiao Yue could. She could see Rong Zhan's fatigue at once.
Thinking of the estimated distance, Jiao Yue didn't know how long Rong Zhan had been on the road.
And the reason why he was in such a hurry almost didn't have to think about anything else, she bit her lip and murmured: "Brother Zhan......"
called out, didn't want to rush over quickly, and suddenly threw himself into Rong Zhan's arms.
"Brother Zhan, I miss you so much."
Rong Zhan was pounced on by her, the corners of his mouth raised, and he hugged Jiaoyue at once. Jiao Yue hugged his waist and didn't let go, forcing her eyes to mumble: "I must not be dreaming, I must not be a dream." ”
Rong Zhan couldn't help but be amused by her cuteness.
He lightly imprinted a kiss on her head and said, "Naturally, it won't be a dream, where will there be a second person in the world like me!" ”
Jiao Yue raised her head and looked at him with a smile: "Cheeky." ”
