Chapter 41: Anger Attacks the Heart (I)
On a remote forest path, an inky horse galloped in the moonlight, and the urgent sound of horses' hooves pierced the silence of the night, panicking as if the end of a landslide was behind him. Sure enough, when he arrived at the heavily guarded Rongnan outpost, the young man on the horse didn't even stop his horse, so he jumped off the horse in a hurry, and stumbled towards the inner house. But as soon as he went up the steps, he was stopped by a loud voice.
"Satsuki?" The young man in front of him was dusty, and his haggard appearance was full of anxiety and uneasiness. Hong Yi, the deputy general who was leading the night patrol, asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?" How can this be? ”
"Vice Admiral Hong!" As soon as I saw him, a glimmer of light lit up in my gloomy eyes. Xiao Yue grabbed the corner of Hong Yi's clothes and asked anxiously, "Where is the master?" Where are the others!? I have something important to report! ”
Raising his hand to stop his shouting, Hong Yi opened his mouth and said, "Now that I am ugly, the prince of the world has gone back to the house to rest." In the past few days, he has worked so hard for the sake of the war that he forgot to eat and drink, and it was so easy for us to persuade him to sleep just now, if you have anything to do, wait until dawn to talk about it! ”
"No! I'm afraid it's too late to talk about it at dawn! Knowing his suggestion, Xiao Yue not only didn't buy it at all, but continued to run inside, "Something happened to the girl!" How can we delay a moment when human lives are at stake? ! I'll tell my master to go now! ”
"Wait!" Turning around to block his way, Hong Yi said after a little muttering, "When you were away, a few assassins came for nothing, although they were all cleaned up, but in order to ensure safety, we all asked Your Highness to change different residences every day." So tell me about it, and I'll tell you on your behalf! First, you are a secret guard, and there are many brothers in the courtyard who don't know you, and it is easy for you to cause trouble; Second, you also said that the matter is urgent, and I am familiar with the way and can bring the news quickly, so as not to make a mistake! ”
Hong Yi's words are reasonable, and there is no room for refutation. Xiao Yue also felt that this was the best thing to do, so he told the truth about the inquiry, and finally he said earnestly, "Vice General Hong, please be sure to bring the word to the master, and your subordinates will wait for news here." ”
"Well, this is natural, don't worry! I'll definitely bring the words! Patting him on the shoulder, Hong Yi said with concern, "Don't wait here, it's deeper and heavier outside, and you should be tired when you come back." Let's go back to the left camp to rest first, and as soon as there is news from the master, I will send someone to inform you!" ”
Nodding and thanking Hong Yi for his kindness, Xiao Yue dragged her weak body and just turned around the corridor, only then did she suddenly remember that she had not come back for many days, and she had long forgotten the location of the left camp that had only stayed for one night, so she had no choice but to turn around and ask for advice. Xu was afraid that he would waste saliva to reveal his identity when he saw the living, so he quietly went to chase the night patrol team after his efforts. Unexpectedly, as soon as I saw their backs, I was secretly rejoicing in my heart when I heard someone speak, "Vice General Hong, aren't you going to report to His Royal Highness the Prince of the World?" How can you take this road, in the opposite direction? ”
Turning around and glaring at the open-mouthed guard, Hong Yi said with a dark face, "You kid is a waste with no brains!" Can you disturb the dream of the prince for that kind of thing? No wonder you can't hold up the wall with mud until now, and you don't have any eyesight! ”
As soon as his words came out, he immediately attracted a group of guards to pat their horses and echo them, and one of the fat men with a square face was even more flattering and said, "That's it!" Do you still need to ask about this kind of thing?! How can you distract the prince of the world for a woman? Our Boss Hong can really be called a first-class virtuous minister, in order to let His Highness plan the war without distractions, he doesn't know how much effort it took to stop all the news about the woman one by one. No wonder among so many princes and ministers, the prince will choose you alone to assist the prince, and he must have taken a fancy to you and will do everything with your heart and soul! ”
Obviously, being held a little fluttering by this gang of people, Hong Yi waved his hand and said unashamedly, "Alas! That's the king's wisdom! Although His Royal Highness the Prince of the World has the ability to be immortal, he is still young in the end, and it is inevitable that he can't tell the difference between right and wrong, and he is easily confused by the mundane things in front of him. Therefore, an old man with deep experience around him is always prepared. What's more, the prince had confessed in advance, Ling Biluo's demon girl was Ling Bei's escape, and she was unrelated to their southern courtyard king Xiao Suchen, how could she let the prince go to this troubled waters?! Coupled with the current tense situation, if this causes trouble to Lingbei again, wouldn't it be busy adding to the chaos and adding fuel to the fire? I want to get rid of the good relationship! I tell you! No one can leak the news of today's events for me! If anyone accidentally lets them go, I'll kill them!" ”
"My lord! Just put a hundred and twenty hearts, my brothers didn't hear anything, didn't see anything! However...... "I have to say that although the fat man is stupid, his brain is very active. After listening to Hong Yi's advice, he hurriedly agreed, and reminded him in a thick and fine manner, "How should the kid who sent the letter just now send it?" ”
"Easy to do!" Hong Zhi only smiled slightly when he heard his question, and said confidently, "In two hours, one of you will go and report to him, and say that the prince has his own decision on this matter, so that he doesn't have to worry, and then order him to go back to Yaping as soon as possible to continue to investigate, and then he can end it without knowing it!" In addition, quickly go and install some of your own people to guard in front of the residence of the prince, and idle people are not allowed to approach, so it will be foolproof! ”
Needless to say, I also know that as soon as his words fell, he attracted another wave of praise and praise. And Xiao Yue, who was hidden in the dark, was already so angry that her whole body trembled, and she couldn't control her emotions, so she roared and raised her fist and hit Hong Yi. Originally, there were still smiling guards, but they didn't dare to slack off when they saw someone attacking, and they showed their weapons to resist. Although Xiaoyue has made light achievements, her legs and feet are really mediocre, and her two fists are difficult to defeat with four hands. Sure enough, his arms and faces were painted red. And after Hong Yi saw the person who came, he understood that things were not good, and asked his subordinates to move quickly to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
Therefore, under Hong Yi's urging, the sword light and sword shadow attacked Xiao Yue more and more fiercely, and there were dense blades all around, making it impossible to dodge. Seeing a big knife with a gloomy aura, mixed with a faint fishy wind, it slashed at his heavenly spirit, and in the blink of an eye, he was about to shatter his brain and go to Huangquan. But out of nowhere, a moonlit long sword suddenly flew straight into the blade, and it broke the deadly thing in two, which resolved the death catastrophe.
"You guys are fighting and killing here for too long?!" The cold voice was as piercing as the frost of the wax moon, and when it sounded, I felt a chill surging up from my heart, which made people inexplicably frightened, "If that's the case, I'll do it myself now!" ”
However, compared to the faces of the guards, Xiao Yue's face was full of surprise and excitement, he didn't care about the bloody wounds on his body, knelt on the ground and cried to the visitor, "Master! Something happened to the girl! Please, save her! ”
