Xiang Yan said: "Whether they are looking for someone or not, let's just go and see." They're all here, so we can't just just do it here and ignore it, right? The princess must also report it, but they must not disturb the princess. Ruidong said: "Father-in-law, you go and report to the princess, and I'll go see what they are doing." ”

Xiang Yan came to Princess Jianning's residence, the princess was in a big panic, and after seeing Xiang Yan, she asked in a trembling voice, "Have you gone to the water?" Xiang Yan said: "Ruidong said that this is Wu Sangui's fire." Princess Jianning was even more panicked and asked, "What is he going to do?" Xiang Yan said: "I don't know, Ruidong went to negotiate with them." Princess, you don't have to be afraid. Xiang Yan Even if his life is not guaranteed, he must ensure the safety and safety of my dear princess. You don't have to get up when you're lying under the covers, I'm standing outside the door. If there is a fire, I will carry you and flee. Princess Jianning was very grateful and said, "Xiaoyan, you ...... You've been so nice to me. ”

Xiang Yan stood at the door and said loudly: "It is important for everyone to protect the princess." In the midst of the shouting, the guards of the king of Pingxi rushed to the palace and shouted: "Father-in-law, there is a fire in the garden, and the prince has come to protect the princess." I saw two rows of lanterns in the northeast corner, hugging a group of people. came to the front of me in a moment, and the first two were Wu Yingxiong and Ruidong.

I only heard Wu Yingxiong shouting from afar: "Is Her Royal Highness the princess safe?" One of the guards shouted, "Father-in-law Xiang is already guarding here." Wu Yingxiong said: "That's great! Father-in-law Xiang, this is hard for you, brother is grateful. Xiang Yan said: "It is my duty to protect the princess, and the little prince is not polite." ”

Then the royal guards also arrived. Everyone jumped up from bed in the middle of the night, all of them were disheveled, some were barefoot, some were not wearing shirts, and they looked very embarrassed. Ruidong came to Xiang Yan and ordered all the guards to guard the surroundings.

Someone whispered to Rui Dong and Xiang Yan: "Deputy Chief Rui, Xiang Gonggong, this matter is deceitful." Ruidong said: "What's wrong?" The man said: "As soon as the fire alarm was announced, the generals of the Pingxi Wangfu jumped over the wall from all directions, obviously prepared. They shouted to put out the fire, but they searched every room, and it was useless for our brothers to shout and stop them, and several people had already fought with them. ”

Ruidong said: "The guest is as good as the host." Here we are the guests, and the king of Pingxi is the lord. If they want to search, let them search, and tell the brothers not to stop them. The man nodded, and quietly went to the officers and soldiers from Beijing.

Ruidong said worriedly: "This Wu Yingxiong must have come to find Chen Yuanyuan. It seems that Chen Yuanyuan was not rescued by Wu Sangui's people, otherwise Wu Yingxiong would not have come to search Anfu Garden with great fanfare. It's just that Chen Yuanyuan is not in our hands, and he was not rescued by Wu Sangui's people, so where did she go? ”

Xiang Yan comforted Rui Dong and said, "Manager Rui don't worry. Chen Yuanyuan is missing, and Wu Sangui is determined to look for it. We just need to stare at Wu Sangui. Ruidong said: "The princess's wedding date has to be postponed for a few days, and this matter will have to trouble her father-in-law." Xiang Yan said, "Okay." ”

At this time, the southwest and southeast corners of the garden were faintly visible, and more than a dozen water dragons were already watering, but the water heads were shooting into the sky. The white swaying water columns are like fountains.

Xiang Yan walked up to Wu Yingxiong and said, "Little Wangye, why is this water dragon team just spraying water into the sky and refusing to put out the fire?" Wu Yingxiong said to the guards beside him: "I found out to my father-in-law that the water dragon team is not doing a good job, you go and arrest the captain and deputy captain, and turn around and break their dog's legs." "The guard was commanded to go.

Xiang Yan glanced at Wu Yingxiong, and then at Ruidong, although his face was not obvious, he was uneasy in his heart: "Ruidong said that Chen Yuanyuan was robbed, but looking at Wu Yingxiong's battle, Chen Yuanyuan is clearly not in Wu Sangui's hands. So where is Chen Yuanyuan? Was it robbed by someone else, as Ruidong said? Or did Ruidong see Chen Yuanyuan's beauty and didn't want to hand it over to the emperor, so the thief shouted to catch the thief and deliberately hid her? After all, in the original book, Wei Xiaobao once thought that among his wives, Chen Yuanyuan's daughter was the most beautiful, and Chen Yuanyuan was more beautiful than her daughter. Mrs. Hong is already like a fairy, and Chen Yuanyuan, who is more beautiful than her, can be imagined. ”

"However, it was Kangxi's order to bring Chen Yuanyuan into the palace, and Ruidong's private possession of Chen Yuanyuan would definitely make Kangxi unhappy and affect his future. Will he really affect his future for Chen Yuanyuan? Having said that, although there are not many people in history who give up their future for the sake of beauty, it is not nothing. Is Ruidong such a person? ”

"If Rui Dong hadn't lied, would it be Lu Gaoxuan and Fat Toutuo who kidnapped Chen Yuanyuan? If it were really them, I would have completed the task given to me by Sect Master Hong. However, in the original book, Chen Yuanyuan seemed to follow Li Zicheng in the end, could she have been snatched away by Li Zicheng? If it was Lu Gaoxuan and Fat Tou Tuo who took Chen Yuanyuan away, if it was Ruidong who took Chen Yuanyuan privately, or Li Zicheng who took Chen Yuanyuan away, I would be unlucky. ”

Soon after, the guards of the Pingxi Wangfu returned one after another, and the fire did not burn, and it gradually decreased. But seeing that Wu Yingxiong always had a slight look of displeasure on his face every time he heard someone report it. Suddenly, a general came to report again, saying that the fire had suddenly become bigger, and it seemed to be burning this way, and it was best to ask the princess to get up to prevent alarm.

Wu Yingxiong said: "Manager Rui, to my father-in-law, since the fire is burning here, let's ask the princess to move!" If it frightens Her Royal Highness the Princess, it is a crime that deserves death. Ruidong said: "Father-in-law Xiang, what do you think?" Xiang Yan said: "In the middle of the night, it is inconvenient for us to break into the princess's room." The little prince and the princess are husband and wife, and everything is easy to discuss. This matter of asking the princess to move, let's ask the little prince to do it himself! ”
