This stone is not right, it just hit the ankle of a maid, the maid sighed, couldn't stand, fell to the ground, another maid was stepping forward to help, Lin Haotian ejected another stone, and hit the knee of another maid.

"Ahh

The two of them fell down one after another, rolling into a ball, and immediately attracted the attention of the soldiers standing guard in the backyard.

Because the night was too dark and the distance was far, the Yan soldiers standing guard couldn't see what was going on, so the captain waved to his subordinates on the left and right, and ran over with more than a dozen Yan soldiers in great stride.

"Who?" asked the captain first.

"Your Excellency, yes...... It's the maidservant ......" Seeing the many soldiers rushing over, the two little maids hurriedly got up from the ground and stood trembling on the side of the road.

Seeing clearly that the person who came turned out to be the maid in the house, all the soldiers sighed, and the captain frowned, and reprimanded in a dissatisfied whisper: "In the middle of the night, what is the name of the ghost?"

A little maid said timidly, "My lord, my maidservant...... When the maidservant came here, she tripped over something and fell......"

The captain and the soldiers subconsciously looked down and saw that the ground was flat, without potholes, protrusions, or abnormalities. The captain secretly rolled his eyes and said impatiently: "Be careful when you walk in the future, if you disturb the princess, we won't be able to eat and walk!"

"Yes!" the maid remembered...... Seeing that they were both aggrieved and frightened, the captain waved his hand to the second girl and said, "Let's go!" After speaking, he shook his head to the soldiers on the left and right, and retreated to their respective posts under the courtyard wall.

And in the blink of an eye when they left, Lin Haotian had successfully climbed over the courtyard wall. Jumped into the courtyard. It's easy to find Yin Xiang's place to live in the backyard, just check and get the lights in the room and the number of guards outside.

There were dozens of guards outside Yin Xiang's residence, and most of them were underworld warriors, Lin Haotian was difficult to approach, so he repeated his old trick and ran to the roof again. Carefully remove the tiles and squint into the room.

At this time, the room was foggy, and even with Lin Haotian's eyesight, he could see the situation in the room clearly for a while.

I saw a large wooden basin placed in the inner room of the house, which was full of hot water, and Yin Xiang was sitting naked in it to take a bath, and the bare skin outside the water looked pink and tender, red and fluttering, which was particularly charming, and there were two maids waiting next to her.

Although Lin Haotian is not a righteous gentleman. But he was not in the habit of peeking at women bathing, so he slowly closed the removed tiles again, and then lay aside, closing his eyes.

After waiting for about two teas, Yin Xiang finally washed and walked out of the bathtub with the help of the maid.

Seeing the maids carrying the bathtub out, Lin Haotian removed the tiles again and looked into the room.

The fog in the house gradually lifted. Lin Haotian also saw it very clearly, at this time. Yin Xiang was already sitting in front of the dresser, and a personal maid was combing her hair, but her body was still unhung and covered with tiny droplets.

Lin Haotian shook his head secretly when he saw it. Just then, there was a soft knock on the door outside.

Soon, a maid walked up to Yin Xiang's side. said in a low voice: "Princess, Mr. Xing has arrived." ”

"En!" Yin Xiang replied slowly, then slowly stood up, stretched out her arms, and immediately a maid put a white silk robe on her body.

Yin Xiang casually tied the belt on the silk robe. Then she said, "Let him in!"

"Yes, Princess!" The maid who came to report the news turned around and walked out of the inner room, and after a short time, Xing Lei walked in from the outside. Seeing Yin Xiang sitting in front of the dresser combing his hair, he would bow his knees respectfully and say, "My subordinates see Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

Yin Xiang waved her hand slightly, and the maids around her understood, and automatically and consciously exited the room, and after going out, the door was carefully closed.

She took the comb, compared it to the bronze mirror in front of her, combed her hair, and asked in a lonely tone: "Mr. Xing, why do you say this?

When Xing Lei heard this, his face darkened significantly.

He has been by Yin Xiang's side for more than 20 years, it can be said that he has watched Yin Xiang grow up, and he knows Yin Xiang's situation well, he knows very well who Yin Xiang is talking about now, but he is speechless.

The infighting in the palace has always been cruel and dark, and it is not something that he, an outsider, can intervene at will. He knelt on the ground and did not get up, his head slowly drooping.

"My father has so many daughters, why do they look at the palace unpleasantly!" Yin Xiang, who was combing her hair, slammed the comb in her hand on the bronze mirror in front of her, making a crisp sound.

Xing Lei's body was shocked, and he said in a low voice: "The king loves the princess, and ...... There has been no tradition of standing in our country, so ...... So ......"

"Therefore, the elder brothers, sisters and even younger brothers and sisters of this palace regard this palace as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, and they will not get rid of it!"

The look of loneliness on Yin Xiang's face was swept away, replaced by cold and hideous, she clenched her fists, gritted her teeth and said: "This matter, this palace will not give up, this time, this palace will not tolerate it again!"

"The princess means ......"

Yin Xiang walked up to Xing Lei with bare feet, stood still, and asked coldly, "Who does Mr. Xing think is more likely?"

Looking at the pair of pink and white feet standing in front of him, Xing Lei's head hung low, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. Who is more likely? How could he dare to speculate on this? He was silent for a long time, and Fang said in a trembling voice: "Subordinate...... The subordinates don't know ......"

"It's not that you don't know, but you don't dare to say it!" Yin Xiang bent down, pulled Xing Lei up, then turned around and walked to the bed, sat down, took a deep breath, and said in a cold voice: "If Bengong guessed correctly, the assassin should be sent by the eldest brother, and it has not been a day or two for the eldest brother to get rid of the palace. As she spoke, she lay on the bed, her beautiful eyes flickering with fire.

Xing Lei stepped forward, gently stroked Yin Xiang's jade back, and said in a low voice: "The eldest prince has the support of Gui, and his local power is also deep-rooted, especially with the Bloody Marquis. After the princess returns to the capital, if she openly turns her face with the Grand Duke, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to the princess. ”

Yin Xiang slowly narrowed her eyes and sighed comfortably, under Xing Lei's massage. The anger in her heart gradually dissipated, and she muttered, "It is said that the Marquis of Bloody Clothes has sent his Hong family army to Bianyang County. ”

"Yes, my subordinates have heard about it. Xing Lei nodded.

"He's going to force a war! The Marquis of Bloody Clothes has always wanted to expand his Hong family's army to 100,000, but his father has never agreed, as long as the Yanjin war is together, the loss of the central army will inevitably increase, and at that time, his father will have to rely on the family army in their hands. Hong Jiajun can also take the opportunity to expand justifiably. Yin Xiang said slowly.

"Yes, the princess is wise!" Xing Lei shook his head and sighed: "My subordinates often think that compared with foreign enemies, those ill-intentioned people who exist in our country are actually more hateful and vicious!"

"Yes!" Yin Xiang smiled bitterly and said faintly: "Foreign enemies can only hurt my skin, but internal troubles can destroy my muscles and bones!"

"Princess, the Bloody Marquis is forced to fight. You can't be on guard!" Xing Lei said: "Now the Hong family army has only transferred two corps to Bianyang County, if the imperial court ignores it. The subordinates thought that it would not be long before the entire Hongjia army would enter Bianyang County, and if they took the initiative to provoke a war against the Jin State, the Central Army would also be forced to participate in the war, and at that time, the war between the two countries would not be able to be stopped. ”

Yin Xiang giggled. said: "If the Hong Jiajun really dares to take the initiative to provoke, it is a good opportunity, just to borrow the hand of the Jin Army to annihilate it in one fell swoop, which is equivalent to helping my father get rid of a piece of heart." However, the Bloody Marquis is not so stupid. As a last resort, he will not risk the Hong family army that he has worked so hard to manage. ”

Xing Lei nodded thoughtfully, and responded: "What the princess said is extremely true!"

Yin Xiang waved her hand, signaling that Xing Lei didn't have to press it anymore, she said: "You usually have to help the palace pay more attention to the underworld martial artists, especially those powerful underworld martial arts masters, if you can win over the palace, try to win them over, even if it consumes a lot of silver." ”

Xing Lei was shocked, and asked in a low voice: "The princess wants to ......?"

"This palace will not sit and wait to be beaten, and it will not sit still!" Yin Xiang said with a cold expression: "Whoever wants to kill me, I will fight with him and break the net!"

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but sigh again, and said helplessly: "It's just terrible, Chang Feng went away with his back to the palace, if he is by his side in the palace, how can the palace be afraid of a few assassins, and who among the brothers and sisters of the palace would dare to send assassins to assassinate the palace?!"

Her words were obviously exaggerated, and of course, she deliberately said them to Xing Lei.

When the latter heard this, his body was really shocked, and he knelt on the ground with a thud beside the bed, and arched his hand and said: "My subordinates swear to protect the princess to the death, even if they are broken and their livers and brains are smeared, they will not give up!"

"Your loyalty, this palace is naturally clear, and now the only person that this palace can rely on is only you, sir. I don't know when, Yin Xiang's beautiful eyes have been filled with tears.

Xing Lei's body shook again, kowtowed forward, and said movingly: "Your Highness......"

"Bengong is a little tired, you should go and rest early!" Yin Xiang sniffed and waved her hand gently.

"Yes!" The subordinates retired, although the princess rested with her heart, if an assassin really came, he would have to step on the corpses of his subordinates first!" Xing Lei stood up, bowed deeply to Yin Xiang on the bed, and then turned around and walked out of the inner room.

After he left, Yin Xiang sat up from the bed, her big eyes were round, how could there be any tears in it, she snorted coldly, and muttered angrily: "If you want to fight with this palace, it is not certain who will kill the deer, and you don't look in the mirror first to see your own half of the catty!"

Lin Haotian, who had been lying on the room, was almost amused by Yin Xiang's face changing like a flip book, this woman was rude and arrogant, she looked like a pampered little princess, but it was not simple!

Through the conversation between Yin Xiang and Xing Lei, Lin Haotian can also understand the complicated situation within the Yan Kingdom, for the supreme throne, the princes and princesses are fighting openly and secretly, and they have even reached the point where it is difficult to coexist. And the central court and the local family army also have contradictions and suspicions that are difficult to resolve, and it can be said that the difficulties faced by the Yan State are no less than those of the Jin State. No wonder Yin Ji is reluctant to start a war with his own country immediately, it is really that Yan Guo itself also has a problem to deal with.

Lin Haotian shook his head and smiled, not mocking, but bitter smile, he was not qualified to gloat over Yanguo now.

Seeing Yin Xiang's energetic words in the room, Lin Haotian had no interest in continuing to listen, and he slowly closed the removed tiles again. Then, with a gentle motion, he slid down the roof.

It was difficult to get in the backyard of the county capital, and it was not easy to get out, so he waited in the dark in the courtyard for more than an hour, and finally found an opportunity for the Yanjun to change the guard and climbed over the wall. He immediately withdrew from the county capital.

He came in from the side courtyard, and he also went out from the side courtyard, and when he was outside, his feet had just stuck to the ground, and several people ran over in the dark corner not far away, Lin Haotian fixed his eyes and saw that it was Luo Lan, Shao Lin, Tong Lei and Chang Feng.

"My lord, are you alright!" Roland rushed to Lin Haotian's side first, looking him up and down with concern on his face.

Lin Haotian smiled indifferently. Casually said, "What can I do?" ”

"Why did the adults go in for so long, we all died in a hurry. Roland's words were both concerned and faintly complaining.

"It's heavily guarded inside, and it's a little delayed. Lin Haotian looked around at everyone, changed his words, and asked again: "Have you been waiting here all along?

"We didn't worry about adults, so we never left. Shao Lin pointed back and said, "The war horses are all tied over there." "A moment. He asked, "What did the adults find inside?"

"I've seen and heard a lot. Lin Haotian said happily, adding in his heart. With the help of Shao Lin and Tong Lei, he put on the armor of the Yan Army again, and then got on the war horse with everyone, walking slowly around the county capital, and he told everyone in detail about the journey. Of course, when he saw Yin Xiang taking a bath, he hid it and didn't mention it.

Listen to him. Everyone was shocked, Shao Lin shook his head again and again, and said, "I really can't imagine that the assassins were actually sent by Yin Xiang's brother, aren't they brothers and sisters?"

Lin Haotian sighed lightly: "In front of the throne." Not to mention brothers and sisters, even if they are close relatives like their parents, they can hate them at critical moments!"

Luo Lan said at this time: "My lord, since this is an internal matter of the Yan Kingdom, let's not interfere, and when Yin Xiang leaves tomorrow and the ban on the county is lifted, we will rush back to China!"

Lin Haotian waved his hand and said, "We can't leave yet!"

"Then the Lord wants to ......"

"We have to escort Yin Xiang secretly for a while, at least we have to send her out of Bianyang County, where the situation is responsible. Seeing that Roland was puzzled and anxious to speak, Lin Haotian waved his hand to her and explained: "Ensuring Yin Xiang's Yanquan is beneficial to our country." Yin Xiang's proposition is to suspend the war, which is in line with the interests of our country, secondly, Yin Xiang and the sons and princesses of the Yan country are full of contradictions, this time she returned to the capital, the contradictions between them will be intensified, and the infighting between the Yan royal family is bound to surface, as long as the royal family is in chaos, the court will inevitably be chaotic, which will create a lot of convenience for us. ”

Luo Lan flattened her mouth, even though she knew that what Lin Haotian said was reasonable, but when she heard him say that she wanted to escort Yin Xiang secretly, she still felt uncomfortable, and she muttered in a low voice: "Adults should not see Yin Xiang's beauty, so they have pity for Xiang Xiang and cherish the jade!"

When everyone around heard this, they couldn't help but laugh, although Roland was not an adult's woman, but he was even more jealous than anyone else.

Lin Haotian rolled his eyes and didn't bother to answer.

Shao Lin smiled on his back, his big hand patted Roland's back hard, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I see that with you, adults will no longer think about other women." ”

Luo Lanyu's face turned crimson, first glared at Shao Lin, and then peeked at Lin Haotian. At this time, the latter was flicking his fingers and rolling his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

Everyone found a relatively quiet alley near the county capital, and then dismounted and slept in their clothes.

If you want to secretly escort Yin Xiang out of Bianyang County, you can't do it without raising your spirit.

There was nothing to say that night, and in the early morning of the next day, there was movement inside and outside the county capital, and I saw a large number of Yan soldiers and generals gathered outside the palace gate, and among the soldiers, there was also a tall and luxurious carriage parked.

After waiting for about half an hour, Yin Xiang, under the protection of many guards and surrounded by maids, finally walked out of the gate of the county capital, and did not stop for a moment after coming out, and went directly into the carriage, and then, the Yan army team started and went straight to the direction of Nancheng.

Lin Haotian and the others, who had already woken up, saw it clearly, they first let the large team of the princess's guard of honor over, and then followed not far behind, it seemed that they were also part of the princess's guard of honor, the cavalry of the palace.

The Yan soldiers behind the guard of honor also noticed Lin Haotian and the others, and several people stopped, and when Lin Haotian and the others rode to them, one of them asked, "Which army are you from?"

Lin Haotian remained silent, calmly took out his military card, and said, "The Fifth Army of the Central Army!"

"Aren't you supposed to be at the border?"

"It was General Jin who sent us to escort the princess back to the capital. Lin Haotian said without thinking.

Whether Jin Zhuo sent someone to escort Yin Xiang, Lin Haotian didn't know at all, but seeing that Yin Xiang's honor guard had cavalry from the Central Army, he speculated that it might have been assigned by Jin Zhuo. In fact, it was really not the cavalry sent by Jin Zhuo, Jin Zhuo's task was to guard the border and escort the princess, and it was not his responsibility, if he sent troops to escort him, even if it was out of kindness, it would be an act of ultra vires.

Lin Haotian didn't understand this, and the local army didn't understand, and he was sent by General Jin Zhuo, and there was indeed a cavalry of the Central Army in the princess's honor guard, so everyone didn't doubt it.

As they continued to walk forward with Lin Haotian and the others, they asked, "Shouldn't you cavalry go ahead, why are you just a few people staying behind?"

Lin Haotian pretended to smile helplessly and said, "Master Qianfu didn't want to see a few of us, so he transferred them to the back of the palace. ”

One of the older Yan soldiers said: "If you offend the commander of the thousand, then you will have to suffer in the future, I think your commander is not bad to you, but after transferring you to the palace, if you are sent to the front army as scouts, once you meet the enemy, you will be the first to die." ”

"That's the same!" Lin Haotian pretended to nod. (To be continued......)
