"How's that going?"

"Your Highness, everything is normal!"

"Okay, come with me tomorrow."

"Yes."

There was a dim yellow light in the window, and two black figures were projected on the window.

Following.

A carriage started out of the suburbs from the southeast gate, and in the car, Xiao Jingheng was dressed in dark blue casual clothes, leaning on the body and closing his eyes to take a nap.

The coachman was wearing a black cloak, and his face could not be seen clearly, but he could still roughly judge that this person was Shi Fei from his figure.

Shi Fei raised his hand, and the whip hit the horse's back hard, and the horse let out a long roar and sped up.

Soon, the carriage drove out of the Imperial City and continued in a southwesterly direction, without stopping all the way.

After a fork in the road, Shi Fei looked around, turned his horse's head and drove to the left.

It was a very deserted path, surrounded by weeds and barely inhabited.

Two hours later, the carriage drove into the town, and the streets were bustling with people, and the carriage was unnoticeably decorated.

Shi Fei drove the carriage to turn left and right, and entered an alley, where a man led two horses and had been waiting for a long time.

Shi Fei stopped the carriage, stretched out his hand and knocked on the window, and whispered, "Your Highness, it's time to get off." ”

Xiao Jingheng answered, lifted the curtain, and walked down from the carriage.

Shi Fei nodded at the man, then took the horse rope in the man's hand and walked to Xiao Jingheng's side.

"Your Highness, please get on the horse." 6

Xiao Jingheng took the horse rope, turned over and got on the horse, Shi Fei followed, and the two drove towards another stone alley, drove around the town three times, and left the town in the direction of the back mountain.

After a few more moments, halfway up the mountain, I vaguely saw a tall mansion gate.

This matter is extremely hidden, except for Shi Fei, including Xiao Jingheng, they don't know where this place is, so in order to avoid being discovered, they have to keep changing routes.

The two turned over and dismounted, Shi Fei took the horse rope and tied the rope to a tree in front of the door, and the surrounding walls were densely covered with crawling plants, only the part of the gate was completely exposed, and it looked like it had been abandoned for a long time.

"Your Highness, you're tired!"

"No problem."

Xiao Jingheng stretched out his hand to pat the dust off his clothes, and replied lightly.

Shi Fei was next to the stone door, knocked lightly three times, and then knocked lightly twice, and then, the door slowly opened a small crack, Shi Fei took out a note from his arms and stuffed it into the crack.

The door slammed shut, and then it opened again, and a middle-aged man came out, and said respectfully to this Xiao Jingheng: "His Royal Highness the Prince, please come inside." ”

When the two entered the mansion, the middle-aged man looked left and right, and then closed the door.

There is no cave in the house, this is a small courtyard, there is everything in the rockery pond, the pond is full of big lotus flowers, and the scales are racing.

This abandoned mansion was bought by Shi Fei from a merchant at a high price a year ago, and he was going to keep private soldiers and some horses in captivity, and recruited many new soldiers intermittently during the year.

The middle-aged man, Chen He, was hired by Shi Fei from a nearby town to temporarily serve as a housekeeper in the prefecture, and was responsible for going down the mountain every day to buy new ingredients, and would always walk around the mountain for several hours to avoid being discovered.

Fei He led the two of them through the long corridor and entered a small round door, and what greeted them was a large lawn with a wide field of vision, and densely arranged troops, here were Xiao Jingheng's private soldiers.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, there are 5,000 elite soldiers here."

Fei Ming followed by his side and whispered in agreement.

Then the two followed Fei Ming to the warehouse, where large and small cabinets were stacked.

Fei Ming opened the lock on the cabinet and knocked on the cabinet, inside, there was a weapon covered with rice, Xiao Jingheng picked up a long sword, gestured in his hand, his fingers slowly touched the blade, a drop of red blood dripped to the ground, and the sharp blade instantly broke his hand.

Xiao Jingheng held the Tibetan knife in his hand, glanced at the wound lightly and said, "Good blade!" ”

Fei Min stood beside him, and then said: "These are all built by the best blacksmiths, and there are also 2,000 good horses raised in the West Courtyard, Your Highness might as well go and take a look."

"No need, Chen He has made great contributions this time, and you will definitely be rewarded in the future."

Xiao Jingheng dropped the long knife in his hand and walked out of the warehouse.

With these elite soldiers and horses, he has a lot of confidence in his heart.

It was not until late at night that the two took the carriage back to the palace.

In the woods, a horse-drawn carriage was moving slowly, covered with a white cloth.

The moonlight hit the groom's body, and he couldn't distinguish his expression.

There was a faint figure beating between the branches, and the coachman suppressed the voice, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out.

Inside the carriage sat a woman and a child, the woman wore a large white cloak and wrapped the child tightly in the cloak.

The coachman drove the carriage to stop beside a tree, looked around, and then leaned against the curtain of the carriage and said softly: "Madam, you will be able to leave the imperial city in half an hour, why don't you rest here?" ”

The woman lifted the curtain and revealed half of her face, surrounded by darkness, with only a faint moonlight.

"Xiao Hei, it's not safe to stay here, let's hurry up."

The man named Xiao Hei nodded and continued to drive the carriage.

In the dark night, the branches of the trees swayed, and many figures could be faintly seen.

"Huh!" A group of men in black jumped down from the trees and stood in a row, blocking the carriage's path.

Xiao Hei's frightened face turned pale, and he said grinningly, "Who are you?" ”

The carriage was forced to stop, and the woman held the child in her arms tighter, with a vague uneasiness in her heart.

The black-clothed man in the lead was silent, stared at the carriage for a long time, and said slowly: "It must be Mrs. Qin and Miss Qin in the carriage." ”

"Nonsense, you ......"

A long knife was placed on Xiao Hei's neck, and Xiao Hei swallowed nervously, not daring to move.

"Don't kill him!"

The woman exclaimed, walked out of the carriage with the child in her arms, with a hint of begging in her eyes, and said slowly: "I am indeed Qin Xian's wife Qingying." ”

"It's okay if you don't kill him, I can only bother Madame and Miss to go with me."

"Okay."

Qing Ying agreed without thinking about it.

Qing Ying carried the child in her arms and followed the leader of the man in black.

Behind her, Xiao Hei snorted, a blood-red mark on his neck, and then his eyes sank to the ground, blood stained the blade red, and Xiao Hei's body was dragged to the grass on the side, leaving a long pool of blood on the ground.

Late at night, the prince's bedroom.

There was a candle lit in the room, and the dim light illuminated the room red, Xiao Jingheng sipped tea, his fingers knocked on the table one by one, and Shi Fei stood quietly beside him.

After a while, I saw the candle flame in the room jumping up and down, and a man in black knelt in front of Xiao Jingheng.

"Your Highness, we caught Madam Qin Xian and his daughter on the edge of the imperial city who wanted to escape."

"Where are the people right now?"

Xiao Jingheng didn't seem surprised.

"In a cage in the suburbs."

"Look at it, but don't let people die."

"Yes."

The man in black disappeared in an instant.

Shi Fei on the side couldn't help but say loudly: "Your Highness is really like a god. ”

Xiao Jingheng snorted coldly and was silent.

As usual, Xiao Jingyi was summoned into the palace, accompanied by Xiao Min's side, studying ink.

Xiao Min slowly put down the fold in his hand, raised his eyes to look at the person beside him, thought for a long time, and asked slowly: "Jing Yi, now that you are twenty years old, it's time to fold a family affair for you, I don't know if there is a girl you like in the capital?" ”

Xiao Jingyi was slightly stunned, Gu Nuan's figure suddenly flashed in his mind, and he pondered for a moment and said, "Father, the son is not in a hurry to get married now. ”

Xiao Min smiled faintly, and suddenly asked: "The county lord is pure and innocent, if I marry her to you as a princess, I don't know what Yi'er wants?" ”

Xiao Jingyi was overjoyed in his heart, thought for a while and said, "The county lord is naturally impeccable, but this matter also has to be agreed by her. ”

But he saw a name for himself, and he didn't ask much.

Outside the door of the study, Xiao Jingheng paused, his hand stopped in the air, according to his father's meaning, did he want to marry Gu Nuanxu to Xiao Jingyi as a princess?

His face sank, he turned to leave, Shi Fei followed behind, and couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, don't you go in?" ”

"I'm not going."

Xiao Jingheng hurriedly returned to the dormitory, if Gu Nuan was really married to Xiao Jingyi, coupled with Gu Nuan's father's identity, if the two joined forces, the threat to him would increase a lot.

Shi Fei naturally understood the harm involved, and couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, what should I do now." ”

Xiao Jingheng squinted his eyes and thought, for a long time, he smiled meaningfully, maybe someone could help him.

Lu Boting, the son of Pingyang Hou.

Since the last banquet, Lu Boting's eyes would unintentionally stay on Gu Nuan's body, and he saw some Duanrui, and this life was clearly interested in her.

"Shi Fei, pay attention to Lu Boting's movements in recent days."

Although Shi Fei was puzzled, he still responded.

One day after the morning court, as soon as Qin Xian got into the carriage, a cold light went straight to his neck, and then his vision darkened, and he was scared.

"If you want to live, don't speak."

Qin Xian nodded, and Shi Fei took the veil from his eyes, took the knife, and put it at his side.

As soon as his eyes lit up, Qin Xian saw clearly that the person in front of him was Shi Fei next to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and Xiao Jingheng, the person beside him.

Xiao Jingheng had a smile on his face, but there was murderous intent in his eyes.

"Too ...... His Royal Highness the Prince! ”

It was like a knot in his tongue, and Qin Xian stammered for a while.

"Lord Qin has played a good hand!"

"The minister doesn't understand what His Highness means."

Qin Xian avoided his gaze, fine sweat breaking out on his forehead.

Xiao Jingheng unhurriedly took out a silver-red hairpin from his arms, put it in front of him, and said unhurriedly: "I wonder if adults think this hairpin is familiar?" ”

Qingying! Qin Xian was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly took the hairpin in Xiao Jingheng's hand, there was a small gap on the silver-red hairpin, which was accidentally broken by his wife, and it was exactly the same.

"What did you do to my wife?"
