Chapter 346: Kill When You Should Kill
The changes in the Huxin Garden, from the old man and a group of dead men at any cost to Shen Jing and Changqing's desperate resistance, it only took half an hour from beginning to end.
Xu Yanran was not injured much, but she was quite frightened.
After the guards of the Xiangdong Royal Mansion arrived, the remaining dead soldiers naturally couldn't make any splashes. After a few breaths, the original Shen Jing and a few people were standing surrounded by corpses, and the ground was scarlet.
Although Duan Xuan and the other young people who participated in the martial arts competition were not too seriously injured after joining the battle, this sudden scene made them a little stunned.
And at the moment, seeing that Xu Yanran and Xiao Xiang had left safely, and the dead had been resolved, everyone relaxed.
Someone who was still unknown stepped forward to ask Duan Xuan about the identities of the two girls, but Duan Xuan did not say.
Although he did not say a word, the person who asked already understood that it was best not to know about such a thing.
Duan Xuan then advised: "Let's go too, don't say everything you see tonight, and we will be safe tomorrow after Jinyilang asks." ”
The people beside Duan Xuan all responded when they heard this.
The movement on this side of the garden could not be hidden, and it soon spread to Qizitang.
As soon as Xiao Huai'an got the news, he didn't care about anything else, and immediately took the guards straight to the Huxin Garden.
It's a pity that after Xiao Huai'an arrived with people, Dongfang Mao and Yu Wanli had already left with Xu Yanran and others, and Yu Xin was also taken away by the guards at home.
Except for the messy courtyard and the corpses one by one, the expected picture was not seen.
Regret and unwillingness are intertwined in Xiao Huai'an's heart, not only because of the death of a group of capable subordinates, but also because such an opportunity will not be there again next time.
Xiao Huai'an's expression was complicated for a while, but he knew that now was not the time to think about it.
Xiao Huai'an quickly recovered his composure, and he immediately ordered the guards of the other courtyard to clean up the battlefield immediately, and by the way, deal with the dead soldiers who were not yet dead.
And after Huang Fuya and the other four gentlemen learned about this, they all had no intention of judging the poems again, and even tonight's Shangyuan poetry meeting was over here.
All of this, not expected by some, but also expected by others.
Everyone knows that the attack on Xu Yanran has been planned for a long time, and it is also determined to win.
But everything that originally went with the flow was disturbed by a young man in a green shirt who suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.
Xiao Huai'an probably never imagined that this inconspicuous young man would be the biggest change in his big game of chess tonight.
The more you are about to get it at your fingertips, the easier it is for people to lose themselves, and Xiao Huaian may have forgotten this truth.
After the matter fermented, the sons and ladies of each family also left the Linshan Courtyard one after another accompanied by the guards, and there was some chaos on Qixia Mountain.
After leaving the Linshan Courtyard, Xiao Xiang immediately sent palace guards to investigate the matter thoroughly, and she had no time to separate, so she did not go with Xu Yanran and the others.
Shen Kuang also completely fainted shortly after leaving the other hospital, and he was also seriously injured in that battle.
The bright moon is in the sky, full of color hanging, cold for thousands of years.
No one would have thought that the originally lively Shangyuan Poetry Club would evolve into an assassination against the lord of Xiangdong, and even that she was walking with Princess Changle.
Xu Mu, the king of Xiangdong, is the most powerful king with a different surname in the current world.
Even if the emperor trusted him and the court trusted him, it was always inevitable to mention the relationship between the vassal king and the court, and even whether or not to cut the domain.
Some of the cabinet ministers have written to advise that the country's internal stability should be a priority, especially in the current period when the external situation is particularly sensitive.
In the imperial study of the palace, the old emperor went to bed much later than usual tonight, and he didn't even summon any concubine to sleep.
Xiao Yan is not young, his previous goal is enough to survive the old man of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and now the goal has been achieved.
A little time ago, the old eunuch who accompanied the emperor personally brought the soup cooked in the imperial dining room, a bowl of white fungus lotus seed soup.
Xiao Yan didn't rush to continue to review the many twists and turns after eating, he rarely got up and walked back and forth in the room for two steps.
Seeing this, the old eunuch on the side leaned over and whispered, "Your Majesty, it's not too early for you to rest." ”
Xiao Yan heard this.
The figure did not stop, and continued to walk slowly in the room, he smiled: "Don't be in a hurry tonight. ”
After saying that, Xiao Yan seemed to remember something, and asked slowly: "Little Seventh Son, how many years have you been in the palace?" ”
The old eunuch who served with him was named Chaoqi, and as for the surname, it had been a long time, and Xiao Yan had forgotten it.
As far as Chaoqi himself is concerned, it doesn't matter whether he has a name or not with the emperor.
Soon after Xiao Yan conquered the world, Chao Qi was sent to serve him, and now many years have passed, and both of them are old.
is used to being served by Chao Qi, so if Xiao Yan is late at night, he likes to let Chao Qi serve on the side, Xiao Qizi Xiao Qizi is used to calling like this, and this is something to be proud of in Chao Qi's eyes and even in the palace.
After Xiao Yan asked, Chao Qi replied softly: "Your Majesty, it's been almost thirty years in a blink of an eye. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Yan stopped and glanced out the window, he said lightly: "We are all old in the blink of an eye!" ”
As people get older and no longer have energy, they will inevitably recall the spirit of the past, and even the emperor is no exception.
Chao Qi knew that Xiao Yan was afraid of getting old, but he didn't wait for anyone, year after year, month by month, slowly.
Chao Qi replied softly: "Your Majesty, although you are in your twilight years, you are fierce and healthy, and it is okay to lead the army north to fight for thieves in time." ”
Xiao Yan grinned at the corner of his mouth when he heard this, the Northern Expedition, what a tempting two words, a feat that had never been achieved by the male lords of the past dynasties, and he Xiao Yan had been looking forward to it for a long time.
After a while, Xiao Yan, who was full of hope, recovered and said indifferently: "Little Seventh Son, do you think even you should send troops to the Northern Expedition again?" ”
After Xiao Yan asked lightly, Chao Qi immediately knelt down in a trance, and said to Chao Qi: "Your Majesty, such a military matter is not something that an old slave can say. ”
Xiao Yan didn't pursue anything when he heard this, he just sighed alone: "Northern Expedition, Northern Expedition, how dare the dynasty dare to go Northern Expedition if you are uneasy." ”
After Xiao Yan finished speaking, a black figure quietly walked into the imperial study.
After Chao Qi saw the man in black, he slowly retreated under Xiao Yan's signal.
The reason why Xiao Yan was reluctant to go to bed for a long time tonight was actually waiting for Yuan Zhenhuan, and some things were expected to be there and would not be out of their way. @*~~
After Chao Qi withdrew, Yuan Zhenhuan spoke: "Your Majesty, someone has made a move." ”
"Where?"
"Qixia Mountain, Linshan Courtyard."
Xiao Yan was slightly surprised when he heard this, the place where the huge Jinling City could be shot was chosen by the other party in Qixia Mountain, and in the noisy Shangyuan Poetry Society.
"How's it going?" Xiao Yan asked again.
Yuan Zhenhuan said: "Back to Your Majesty, it is a plan against the lord of Xiangdong Wang, and it seems that it has been planned for a long time. A young grandmaster disguised himself as a young man at a great price and infiltrated the poetry society, in addition to a group of dead soldiers. The little grandmaster was the closest, and was only a few feet away when he made his last move. ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Yan suddenly interjected: "Did Xiang'er also go with him?" ”
Yuan Zhenhuan nodded when he heard this, "The princess is fine, and the princess has already sent someone to investigate." ”
"Is that girl hurt?"
"The county lord is also fine, he has suffered some flesh and skin bruises, and he is not lightly frightened."
The incident happened not suddenly for Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan smiled and said: "Who arranged the person to be so unbeaten, I remember that there is only one maid guard by Yanran's side, is there also a grandmaster realm?" ”
Yuan Zhenhuan said: "The maid beside the county lord is named Changqing, in the early stage of the Yuan Realm, she has excellent talent and blocked a fatal blow for the county lord. Changqing is not the key, Your Majesty still remembers the young ranger who had been with Her Royal Highness during the disappearance of Her Royal Highness, and that person also appeared in the courtyard today. ”
Xiao Yan knew that Yuan Zhenhuan wouldn't talk nonsense, so since he opened his mouth, it meant that the identity of this young ranger had been found.
Xiao Yan didn't ask, Yuan Zhenhuan said slowly: "Your Majesty has heard of it, it is the young man who caused a lot of trouble in the rivers and lakes of the Northern Wei Dynasty before. ”
Xiao Yan was a little aware when he heard this, "What's it called?" I remember it was not small. ”
Yuan Zhenhuan said: "It's called Shen Kuang, a descendant of the Shen family in the East China Sea of the Northern Wei Dynasty." ”
When Xiao Yan heard this, he also remembered that he had also heard about the siege of Kang Zhucheng from Yuan Zhenhuan.
。
"Have you found out the purpose of his visit?"
Yuan Zhenhuan said: "I have already ordered someone to investigate, I think it is just to avoid the rumors of the rivers and lakes of the Northern Wei Dynasty." ”
Hearing Yuan Zhenhuan speak for Shen Jing, Xiao Yan smiled unexpectedly: "Why would Yuan Lao speak for a young boy?" ”
Yuan Zhenhuan also smiled when he heard this: "Even if you don't believe him, his master can still believe it." _o_m ”
When Xiao Yan heard this, he thought of Shen Jing's master, the famous Nanke Sword God Li Chengren.
Xiao Yan said: "After those two seniors entered Daliang, I heard that they visited many Jianghu sects. ”
Yuan Zhenhuan nodded and said, "I mentioned it to Your Majesty before. Li Chengren and Zhu Tan informed me before they made a move, and I didn't stop them. ”
"What are they going to do?" Xiao Yan asked.
Yuan Zhenhuan replied: "The siege of Kangzhucheng is far from being as simple as it seems, they have already gone through many sects in the rivers and lakes of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Li Chengren seemed to know something about the future from his master, and he seemed to be preparing for it in advance. ”
"What's in the future?" Xiao Yan was surprised and puzzled.
Yuan Zhenhuan nodded.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan said: "I remember that their sect's name is Xuanji Mountain, and it is a very secret sect. ”
Yuan Zhenhuan nodded when he heard this: "Xuanji Mountain is a specific teacher of history, and we have no way to study it at the moment, and most people in the rivers and lakes are willing to believe that the secrets of Xuanji Mountain are passed down from ancient times. ”
Xiao Yan smiled when he heard this: "Then there is a life-sustaining elixir in it?" ”
Although Xiao Yan had a joking tone, Yuan Zhenhuan knew that he did have this question.
Yuan Zhenhuan shook his head and said: "Such a genius earth treasure captures the creation of heaven and earth, stealing the mysteries of yin and yang, even if there is, it has already been taken. ”
Back to the point, Yuan Zhenhuan said: "What Li Chengren has to do is more to fight against the changes in the world in the future, no matter what, they have promised not to interfere too much in the turmoil between the two countries of Liang and Wei. ”
Xiao Yan heard this and said, "Then let them go." I still have to give an explanation to the king of Xiangdong tonight, the mixed Jinling City is already messy enough, and it is time to clean it up. Yuan Lao, pass on my command to order Jinyilang to investigate this matter thoroughly, and kill him if he should be killed, and he will not tolerate it. ”。
