Chapter 117: The Dark Princelings
As night falls.
Chang'an City, which had been noisy all day, gradually returned to calm.
It was as if the noise of the day was completely cut off by the night.
Three luxury carriages of the same specification, surrounded by a group of entourage, slowly drove out of the Song State Mansion.
Fang Yi arrived on the street.
Three luxury carriages of the same size galloped in three different directions.
It didn't take a while.
The three wagons circled around the city aimlessly.
And so it was, half an hour.
One of the luxury carriages suddenly turned into an unremarkable street.
The carriage slowed down.
Suddenly, the curtain of the carriage door was slowly torn open.
A black figure took advantage of the gap in the carriage's slowdown and jumped directly from the carriage.
When the man jumped out of the carriage, the carriage, which had been slowing down, suddenly increased its speed again.
After a while, he completely disappeared into the night.
Leaving behind the black shadow that jumped from the carriage and two sturdy men who had fallen behind at some point.
The two sturdy men quickly caught up with the figure in front of them, and whispered as they approached, "Master." β
And the black shadow that jumped down from the carriage earlier was Zhang Yongnian, the Duke of Song Kingdom.
Zhang Yongnian nodded slightly, and then looked around.
After the direction is identified.
Zhang Yongnian commanded in a low voice: "Go." β
The words fell.
The three of them walked slowly towards a dark alley.
After seven turns and eight turns.
The three of them stopped in front of a house.
Zhang Yongnian looked at the dark main entrance of the mansion and calmed down slightly.
Then he slowly stepped forward and knocked on the main door of the house.
Listen closely.
The frequency of Zhang Yongnian pulling the door of the courtyard seems to be a hidden mystery. @*~~
After one pass.
Zhang Yongnian put his hands behind his back and stood quietly at the main entrance of the house waiting.
It didn't take a while.
There was a slight sound of footsteps inside the courtyard door.
"Squeak." There was a soft thud.
The main entrance of the house was slowly opened from the inside.
A lantern glowing with a warm yellow glow was taken from the depths of the courtyard.
In an instant, Zhang Yongnian's figure was exposed to the light.
Naturally, while Zhang Yongnian's figure was exposed, the face of the person holding the lantern in the courtyard could also be seen at a glance.
It was a white, beardless man's face.
After the people inside the door saw Zhang Yongnian's face clearly.
The man slowly opened the courtyard door and saluted in a low voice: "The slave maid meets Song Guogong, Song Guogong, please come with me." β
The words fell.
The man inside the door saw Zhang Yongnian nodding slightly, then slowly turned around and led the way from the front.
As soon as Fang stepped into the courtyard door, the two attendants of the Song State Mansion couldn't help but tense their bodies.
It was as if there was a great danger in the courtyard.
Zhang Yongnian paused and commanded in a low voice: "You two are waiting for me here." β
Hearing this, the attendant couldn't help but say nervously: "Master, there is a ...... in the courtyard."
"Shut up." Zhang Yongnian's face sank, and he commanded in a deep voice: "Just wait for me here, don't walk around." β
The words fell.
Zhang Yongnian walked a few steps quickly and caught up with the person who led the way.
Inside the courtyard at this time.
It was pitch black everywhere.
The only light was the lantern in the hand of the white-bearded man.
A moment later.
The two of them walked to a side room.
The white-faced bearded man slowly pushed open the chamber.
Turning to look at Zhang Yongnian, he whispered, "Song Guogong, please." β
Zhang Yongnian seemed to be surprised by this, and strode into the wing.
"Why did Song Guogong come so late today? Could it be at home...... Hahaha. β
As soon as Zhang Yongnian stepped into the door, a ridicule came from the dark room.
A wry smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Yongnian's mouth, and then he unceremoniously counterattacked: "The current situation is the same as Ling Zun's back then. (More exciting on the next page!) )
Second, why did Wei Guogong ask knowingly? β
"You!" Wei Guogong was speechless, and then scolded: "Zhang Yongnian! I haven't cleaned you up for a few months, and your skin is itchy again? β
"Pick me up?" Zhang Yongnian seemed to hear a big joke, and sneered: "I don't know who it was last time, I beat me all over the ground looking for teeth." β
"You!" In the dark, Wei Guogong's face turned red, and then he scolded angrily: "Fighting with an entourage, it's really embarrassing for old Song Guogong." I really don't know why the old Song Guogong chose you in the first place? β
Just when Zhang Yongnian opened his mouth and wanted to continue to ridicule.
Suddenly.
A deep voice sounded again in the darkness.
"Wei Guogong, don't say a word, don't forget that the person in front of you has the identity of a horse master than you."
The man's voice had just ended.
A touch of ecstasy flashed on Wei Guogong's face, and he laughed and said: "Oh, thanks to Zheng Guogong's reminder, if it weren't for Zheng Guogong's reminder, this puzzle that has plagued the old man for more than 20 years will not be solved." β
"Ji Kai!" Zhang Yongnian stared at the general direction where Zheng Guogong was in the darkness and roared in a low voice.
Ji Kai sneered and asked rhetorically, "What?" Could it be that the old man is wrong? Isn't Song Guogong Dongyang's concubine? β
The word Dongyang came out.
There was a hissing sound of gasping in the dark room.
Some smart people, the moment they blurted out the word Dongyang, they couldn't help but make up a shocking drama in their minds.
Thinking of Wei Guogong's previous doubtful words.
In an instant, this earth-shattering drama rose several steps again.
Seeing that the situation in the wing room is about to get out of control.
Suddenly, a deep voice came from the darkness again.
"Gonggong Li, how many people are missing?" The man asked in a deep voice as he looked at the only light.
Hearing this, Gonggong Li, who was holding a lantern, hurriedly bent down and replied, "General Hui, only King Xiang is missing." β
Father-in-law Li's voice just fell.
In the darkness, there were more than a dozen heavy breaths.
Even the three princes who originally wanted to continue arguing couldn't help but breathe heavily after hearing that King Xiang was coming.
None of them.
Although there are thousands of discords and discords among the people in the wings, everyone is extremely consistent in their attitude towards the change of the throne.
And this group of people, in the strict sense of the word, may be more appropriate to call them dark princelings.
The reason why it is called the dark princeling.
Naturally, the reason is that all the people in the wing, without exception, are hiding in the dark and do not stand in the open.
The more the old emperor is old, the more this kind of dark princeling needs to be cautious.
None of them.
The old emperor of this time period is the most sensitive time.
It was like that eight years ago, and it's even more so now.
Eight years ago, the old emperor's frailty gave everyone a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Now, when the old emperor frequently alchemizes, everyone who knows that the change of the throne is often accompanied by bloody wind and blood, and the end of the family will naturally become more and more careful.
If it weren't for that person's appearance.
I'm afraid this *** will happen in a few years.
And now, the appearance of King Xiang is undoubtedly a reassuring pill for everyone present.
The appearance of King Xiang, to a certain extent, means that the crown prince has now won the support of some royal families.
Just when everyone's hearts were on fire.
Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps in the courtyard.
The footsteps grew from near to far, and it was clear that someone was walking out of the courtyard.
After hearing the footsteps, everyone couldn't help but get up and tidy up their clothes.
If everyone's guess is correct.
Fang Cai's footsteps should be the crown prince Xu Yong.
As for the reason why Xu Yong went out, there is no need to guess that everyone understands it in their hearts.
Among the crowd tonight, except for the prince's uncle and general Li Guangli, only Xu Yao, the king of Xiang, can have this honor.
Sure enough.
It didn't take a while.
Outside the courtyard, there was another sound of footsteps.
At the same time as the footsteps, there were two voices, one old and one young. (More exciting on the next page!) )
Sound.
The young voice naturally came from Xu Yong's mouth.
Who the old voice came from, no need for others to point it out, everyone naturally knew it in their hearts.
After the sound outside the courtyard has completely disappeared.
Gonggong Li slowly raised the lantern in his hand and said respectfully to the people in the wing: "Ladies and gentlemen, everyone has arrived, and please go with the slaves and maids to meet His Royal Highness the Prince." β
The words fell.
Gonggong Li slowly walked out of the wing.
He led the people into the main house.
As soon as Fang entered the main house, two sturdy guards with knives strode up to meet him.
After Gonggong Li showed the token.
Two sturdy guards slowly opened the secret door of the main house.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please." Gonggong Li respectfully turned around and saluted.
"Hmm." Li Guangli, the general who walked in the forefront, nodded slightly.
Then he took the torch from the guard's hand and slowly walked towards the secret door.
Behind him, there are more than ten meritorious magnates and ministers of the DPRK and China.
A moment later.
Inside the underground chamber.
As soon as everyone walked into the secret room, they saw two figures sitting at the bottom of the countless night pearls in the deepest part.
The person on the main seat was none other than the crown prince Xu Yong.
The person on the second seat was none other than Xu Yao, the king of Xiang.
No matter how much speculation you have, it's better to see it with your own eyes.
Look at this.
The minds of the people settled down again.
"Ministers, meet His Royal Highness the Prince! I've seen His Royal Highness King Xiang! β
More than ten people lined up in civil and military circles and saluted respectfully towards the two people in front.
Xu Yong slowly got up and bowed: "Your Excellency is polite. β
No matter when and where, Corporal Xu Yonglixian's posture is always extraordinary.
But it's just a gesture.
After Xu Yong returned the salute, he slowly waved his hand and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please take a seat quickly." β
"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince!" Everyone thanked them in unison.
Immediately, according to the civil and military official positions, they were slowly divided into left and right.
At this point, this opportunity that has been advanced by years because of someone has officially begun.
The topic of discussion was, of course, how to eliminate variables.
Let everything return to normal order as soon as possible.
......
An hour later.
The secret door of the main house of the nameless house slowly opened again.
A group of more than ten people slowly walked out of the secret door with different faces.
After more than ten people walked out of the secret door, they were instantly divided into two groups.
One of them, led by the eunuch Gonggong Li, slowly walked towards the main entrance.
The other wave slowly walked to the back door under the leadership of another eunuch.
At the main entrance.
The two attendants of the Song State Mansion saw the light slowly drifting in, and they instantly cheered up.
When they saw their old man walking slowly unscathed, the two of them couldn't help but flash a trace of relaxation on their faces.
Without him, there are too many masters in this nameless courtyard.
"Farewell, everyone." Zhang Yongnian arched his hand behind him, and then walked out of the courtyard with two attendants quickly.
Not far to walk.
Behind Zhang Yongnian, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps.
"Sir." The two attendants instantly took out daggers from their bosoms, whispered a reminder, and then clenched the daggers and looked behind them.
"It doesn't matter." A hint of gloom flashed on Zhang Yongnian's face, and then he motioned to the two entourages to put down their daggers.
"Song Guogong, why do you have to go so fast? Don't you want to see Feng Yuyan disappear into this world with your own eyes? Wei Guogong Gu Zhanying's deep voice came from the darkness.
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Yongnian's face instantly became extremely gloomy. @
The hands under the sleeves were clenched into fists early, and the backs of the hands were covered with green tendons.
This discussion did not exceed Zhang Yongnian's expectations.
In order to protect himself, the prince decisively chose to abandon the car to protect the handsome.
And that Feng Yuyan and the entire Feng family really became abandoned cars.
And the handsome man who was protected certainly also had his share of Zhang Yongnian.
But for some reason, Zhang Yong, who knew that this was the most rational choice. (More exciting on the next page!) )
There is no joy in the heart of the year.
This time, in order to protect himself and the dark princeling party from being exposed, the prince can abandon the Feng family and other peripheral families.
What about next time?
If the strategy discussed this time can't be successful, Xu Yi will fight back next time. @Β·error-free start~~
Which families will the prince abandon?
Among the abandoned families, will there be their Song State Mansion?
Just when Zhang Yongnian's mind was confused.
Gu Zhanying spoke again: "Oh, I almost forgot, there seems to be a kid named Zhang Jingping in the Jingzhao Mansion prison. β
"Gu Zhanying!" Zhang Yongnian took two quick steps, stared at Wei Guogong's eyes viciously, and said in a deep voice: "The grievances between you and me, don't want to involve juniors!" β
"If my son Jingping loses a hair tonight, I Zhang Yongnian! You will definitely not be able to eat and walk around! β
Gu Zhanying sneered indifferently: "Zizizi, look at you are scared, your face is whiter than the eunuch in the palace, hahaha." β
"You!" Zhang Yongnian took a few deep breaths and said in a deep voice: "Words, I put it here today, believe it or not!" β
After the words fell, Zhang Yongnian turned around and left.
Walk to more than ten steps.
Zhang Yongnian suddenly paused and wanted to turn around to remind one or two, but after thinking about it again, he finally decided to let the arrogant old opponent behind him touch his nose!
Others don't know how powerful Xu Yi is, how can Zhang Yongnian not know?
A few days ago, the plan for the Wang family, the behind-the-scenes controller was Zhang Yongnian!
As for the safety of his son, Zhang Yongnian, who calmed down, was not particularly worried.
As everyone knows, Zhang Yongnian's meal has become a sign of fear in Gu Zhanying's eyes.
In the quiet of the night, there was a burst of smug laughter.
Gu Zhanying was laughing, but as everyone knows, Zhang Yongnian, who was walking in front of him, was also laughing at this time.
And the smile is far brighter than Gu Zhanying.
staring at Zhang Yongnian's figure as he walked away.
Gu Zhanying suppressed his exaggerated laughter, and his face gradually became gloomy.
Watching an old opponent eat deflated is certainly a great thing that makes people feel happy.
But he has not forgotten the heavy responsibility that Xu Yong gave him.
"Let's go." Gu Zhanying waved his hand, and then led his two followers to completely melt into the darkness.
Over time.
The night grew darker.
And tonight, for many people, is destined to be a sleepless night.
------Off topic------
I'm sorry, I was wrong, and I'll make up for the update tomorrow anyway.
It's really been too busy today...... Alas.
