Chapter 120: Under the Mountain of Ono (18)
The maid hurried out of the room, and Ji Xu was already waiting outside. The maid passed by Ji Xuyan with her head down, and whispered to him: "After taking the medicine, you are disheveled, and you can act." ”
In a few words, the maid did not stop, and walked over as she spoke. Ji Xuyu looked at a corner, and in the corner, four men showed their heads, and Ji Xuyu nodded to them.
The four of them understood, and after covering their faces, they rushed to Zuolan's residence. As soon as they arrived at the front of the tower, the two guards were shocked: "There are assassins. ”
As soon as the words fell, the two were wiped on their necks. At the same time, a large number of people rushed out, and the four of them had already entered the building. Two more upstairs guards were killed, and four Assassins burst into the room and jerked the bed curtains open.
The picture in front of them made the four of them stunned for a moment, and they saw two notes pasted on Zuo Lan's face, and the two of them were playing cards.
Seeing the four people, Zuo Lan screamed. One of the assassins stabbed Xiang Bei in the chest with a sword.
The Yin-Yang Goggles worked, and the assassin was bounced away. And Yan Xin also broke into the door with a large group of people. Seeing this, the four Assassins jumped out of the window and fled.
Everyone was silent for a while, and at this moment, the voice of the eldest prince sounded outside the door: "Haha, third sister, you are okay, there are so many people, let's hurry up and get dressed." ”
The words fell, and the eldest prince appeared in the room. Zuo Lan looked confused: "Big brother, what do you say? I'm neatly dressed, why do I have to wear clothes? That assassin can't do it, why do you want to stab Mr. Xiang when you come to kill me?"
Xiang Bei sorted out his torn clothes and got off the bed and cursed: "What the hell, I was assassinated when I played a card." What a coincidence that the eldest prince came. ”
The eldest prince was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth curled, and he whispered: "The third sister is a good means." After speaking, he raised his voice: "I got information that someone wants to be unfavorable to the third sister, so I came here this time to protect the third sister." I also told the third sister about this before, but I didn't expect it to happen today. But it's good that the third sister is fine. ”
Zuo Lan pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice: "When did you say that." But he didn't break it, knowing that the best was to come.
Sure enough, the four people who jumped out of the window and fled failed to escape. The scheming was also brought. The eldest prince had already arranged for a master to wait here.
The five of them knelt in a row, and the eldest prince sat down and interrogated: "Who are you, and who instructed you?"
Ji Xu Xuan spoke: "Your Royal Highness, why are you arresting me, I don't know them. ”
"Don't worry, I've never been fair and I won't wronged a good person. I arrested you because I had already seen through you. Aren't you kid the eighth man's subordinates, these four guys are also your people. My dear sister was unharmed because I had informed her of all your actions in advance, and she avoided them. did not let the old eight plan succeed. Now I understand that the rumors that my third sister had an affair with Mr. Xiang were all rumors. ”
Zuo Lan rolled his eyes when he heard this, why did he hide from it and it became his credit. Who is reasoning with this, he is obviously here to catch the traitor by the way, and get rid of himself and Zuo Zhi together. If he is innocent, he naturally has to go with Xiang Bei, and he can no longer fight for the throne. And Zuo Zhi's design to harm himself is naturally a big crime, and this Zuo Ji is calculating. It's a pity that I didn't fall into the trap.
The men under the eldest prince took off Ji Xuyu's disguise and took out a piece of medicine bamboo from his sleeve. Then he put away all the food on the table, kept it as evidence, and brought it back to the palace for the pharmacist to examine.
Seeing this, Ji Xuyu admitted the crime, but denied that the matter was related to Zuo Zhi, which was his own opinion.
The eldest prince bowed his head and told him, "I hope you can say that later." ”
After speaking, he turned his head and told Zuo Lan: "Third sister, don't worry, I will definitely interrogate the facts, and I will never let the third sister be bullied by the eighth sister." ”
Zuo Lan sneered, scolded him in his heart, and thanked him on the surface: "Thank you eldest brother for protecting me, I have also caught sneaky people before, and I was locked in a cell by my soldiers, eldest brother go and take him to interrogation together, you must administer justice for me." After speaking, he took out a wooden bucket from under the bed, which was filled with discarded vegetable soup and wine, and told him to take it with him, which was all evidence.
"Are there any other comrades?" This made Zuo Ji not expect that according to the information he had, there was no one else with these five guys, plus two maids serving in the front stack. However, since Zuo Lan said so, of course he still agreed, and he went to take people away, and at the same time said that he would summon the palace and ask the king to recall Zuo Zhi back to the palace, and when the interrogation results were available, he would confront Zuo Zhi in the palace.
"I'm tired of big brother. Zuo Lan saluted again.
Zuo Ji said that it should be, of course his sister has to protect herself. After speaking, tell your subordinates to take people away. Assign additional manpower to protect this front stack.
Waiting for everyone to leave, Zuo Ji didn't leave in a hurry, and looked at Xiang Bei: "It won't be your idea, my third sister, I understand, she is very powerful, but her manpower is not good." I can't accurately grasp the actions that need to be taken in the first place. And in your hands, there is a master of qi transformation. ”
Xiang Bei nodded: "It's me, I hope the eldest prince won't be angry." It seems that I have ruined the Great Prince's plan to kill two birds with one stone. ”
"There's one bird I'm happy with. My good sister, Mingren doesn't say secret words, this time you didn't fall for the trick, it seems that you can't send you to Tianlong. But the coming day is long, and you and I have slowly fought through. ”
Zuo Lan sighed: "Big brother, why should you be like this, you obviously know that I don't pose much threat to your throne, I am a woman after all." ”
"If you are still the crown prince, I will guard against you. Unless you ask your father to step down from the crown prince's position. ”
Zuo Lan shook his head.
"That's it, the reluctance to remove this identity shows that you have some coveting of the throne. How could I be polite to you. ”
With that, the eldest prince got up and left.
Zuo Lan sat on the chair: "Mr. Xiang, you are right, we all thought this guy was a fool before, but now it seems that he is probably the most treacherous old fox behind the scenes." Zuo is no longer able to be the crown prince, and he will inevitably be removed from power if he uses such indiscriminate drugs to harm his own sister. ”
Xiang Bei said that it is not necessarily, and Zuo Zhi may not necessarily be planted here. According to his own observation, what Zuo Zhi did was the most important to the blue ocean, so he must also be the most favored by the king. The king may not punish him for his crimes, but as long as the king does not want to punish him, it is useless for Zuo Ji to have more evidence.
After Zuo Lan thought about it, he sighed and admitted that he was right, Zuo is a treasure, and he can be exonerated for anything.
Zuo Lan asked Xiang Bei to stay and help her for the second time, she said that she was a little scared, she didn't expect this Zuo Ji to hide so deeply, and she felt that she was self-righteous before.
Xiang Bei refused without suspense, saying that it was impossible for him to stay in the blue ocean. At the same time, tell her that she is afraid, what is there to be afraid of, remember to hire a good guard, don't be so stingy all day long, and even leave the guard work to a friend.
After speaking, he took off the Yin-Yang Protective Glasses from his chest and threw them to her: "The things that the Nine Yuan Archmage injected with power are not easy to exchange, so keep them." ”
"How can this work? Zuo Lan disagreed, this is Xiang Bei's life-saving thing, he has already saved him not once, how can he ask for it.
Xiang Bei asked him not to be polite, there were many things to save his life. If there is mortal danger, someone will block it for them.
After Xiang Bei finished speaking, Yan Xin knocked on the door and came in: "Princess, the eldest prince sent someone to spread the word, saying that the suspicious person you caught had escaped, and your two guards were knocked unconscious in a room. ”
Xiang Bei and Zuo Lan looked at each other and smiled, of course this was known for a long time. It's about the wind and thunder, and if you don't run away, you can't let the eldest prince take people. Zuo Lan told Yan Xin to stop worrying about it so much, it's over today.
Yan Xin saluted Xiang Bei: "Thank you, Mr. for helping the princess." ”
"You're welcome, she's your friend, and she's my friend. Let's fight the landlord, just now the princess and I can only play with tractors, and we are almost bored to death. ”
Zuo Lan said no, the tractor is very fun. Xiang Bei said that it was not interesting at all, anyway, he liked to fight the landlord.
