Chapter 147: Out of the City
Everything was quite normal, if it weren't for the sudden defection of the guards of the Yan Wang's Mansion.
Twenty or thirty assassins, how could it be impossible to break through the guards of Zhongshan Wangfu and Yanwangfu to kill the third son of Yanwang, not to mention that the bigwigs who came to the dinner today also brought guards more or less, but when the third son of Yanwang began to take the initiative to move outside the hall, those guards of Yanwangfu who were carrying crossbows turned their aim.
The pitch-black crossbow glowed with a cold light, as sharp and cold as the eyes of the guards.
Such a change not only made the big people in the hall slightly stunned, but even the dead soldiers who were ordered to assassinate the third son of King Yan also paused.
The dead soldiers who were still fighting with the guards quickly chased after them, and the sound of the fight gradually faded away, but Xu Huizu's face in the center of the crowd quickly became gloomy.
He looked at Xu Zengshou behind him: "Your idea?" ”
"What the hell is going on with me?" Xu Zengshou spread his hands, "Don't get involved with me for everything." ”
My own brother still understands it to some extent, and he won't lie about this kind of thing... If he really did it, according to his temper, he should keep his head shut at this time and not speak.
Xu Huizu retracted his eyes, a little puzzled and frightened, could this kind of scene be made by his three good nephews? How dare and courage do they have?
Sure enough, it didn't take long for a guard to come in to report that the assassin in black had kidnapped the third son of King Yan.
There was a commotion in the hall, as long as you weren't stupid, who would believe it?
Those guards were carrying crossbows just now! How many assassins are there? It's only twenty or thirty!
Xu Huizu's face sank completely: "Chase!" ”
……
It stands to reason that in the summer night, the emperor should think about turning over the brand, after all, he should have rested early after an afternoon of criticism, but today's Zhu Yunwen has no intention of resting.
He looked at the few people in front of him incredulously: "The third son of King Yan... Ran away? ”
Huang Zicheng, who was a little embarrassed and annoyed, hurriedly surrendered his hand: "Your Majesty is angry, there are too many of them, it is difficult to get out of the city!" Even if you go out of the city, you can't run too far, as long as you send troops to chase after you now..."
Zhu Yunwen's eyes straightened: "What I ask is, who will assassinate them?" Why do they run? ”
This time he asked about the bones, and Fang Xiaoru on the side gradually raised his eyebrows: "Wait, could it be..."
There is an extra Pei Xi in the imperial study, and it is hard not to think of something.
Seeing that he couldn't hide it any longer, Qi Tai stepped forward and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, it is indeed the minister's own opinion." ”
He said hatefully: "The third son of King Yan is dead, King Yan will raise troops in Beiping with anger, with the preparations made by the court these days, the soldiers can quell the rebellion without blood, and the Yan rebellion will be eliminated, and the major event of cutting the feudal domain..."
"It's really too much of a mistake for Jinyiwei!" Qi Tai turned around and looked at Pei Xi hatefully, "There was such a big incident, and the third son of the Yan King escaped!" ”
Pei Xi was silent for a moment, and arched his hand: "Jinyiwei is not as good as in the past, after today, the kings and princes will go to Zhongshan to guard the mourning, and then anyone can guess that it is the hand of the imperial court... Today's failure, the most important thing is that Jinyiwei has become a traitor. ”
"Traitor?"
"It's that Gu Huai," Pei Xi didn't straighten up, "Your Majesty and all the adults should have an impression. ”
Can you not be impressed? Zhu Yunwen also acted in front of Gu Huai a few days ago, and he was both kind and powerful, and at that time he felt that this Gu Huai was just a greedy person who was afraid of death, and sooner or later it would come in handy...
And Fang Xiaoru on the side was much more impressed, even after these days, there were still people in Jinling talking about the gambling debts that made him disgraced... If it weren't for the enlightenment of His Majesty and his colleagues, he really wouldn't even want to go out now.
After all, it's to share the worries of the court, and besides, it's my own husband again... Zhu Yunwen also temporarily put down his mind to investigate, and was successfully diverted by Pei Xi's statement:
"Gu Huai?!"
He stood up suddenly: "Didn't you say that Gu Huai would weigh the pros and cons and take refuge in the imperial court?" Didn't you say that Gu Huai was a great help for me to cut down the Yan Domain? Now you come to tell me, that Gu Huai still has a different heart? ”
Pei Xi's head lowered: "It's the minister's inconsiderate ... The assassination of the third son of King Yan was planned in detail for many days, and Gu Huaiying learned of the plan and took this opportunity to put Jinyiwei along... Now that the third son of King Yan has fled, in the eyes of outsiders, he is afraid that he will be taken captive by the assassins. ”
"Rubbish!" Zhu Yunwen slapped the table case hard, thinking of the possible consequences, and became more and more furious: "Then you still don't go to find it?!" ”
Pei Xi was overjoyed: "Please also ask Your Majesty to issue an order to block the area around Ying Tianfu, and allow the right to be investigated by Jinyi Wei!" ”
He lowered his head and hid the hint of ecstasy in his eyes: "I will definitely let the third son of King Yan and Gu Huai have no way to go to heaven and no way to go down!" ”
……
"The paper of the road guide is of the same material as the Daming treasure banknote, and the pattern on it is extremely difficult to imitate, and it must be stamped by the household registration department to be effective."
The city gate was near, Gu Huai took out a few road guides from his arms and handed them to the three brothers: "If you want to go north, you have to go south first, first by water, and then by land, the fast horses outside the city have been prepared, but none of the guards can be brought, the three sons... Questions? ”
This question was a bit redundant, because the faces of the three Zhu Gaochi brothers were a little distorted.
They looked at the petite figure behind Gu Huai: "Auntie..."
God, the little county lord of the Zhongshan Palace, their sister-in-law, how could they appear here?
"This matter is too complicated to explain clearly for a while," Gu Huai was silent for a moment, "It's not too late to wait until it's safe first." ”
Dong Liangcai, who was smiling hippie on the side, also said to the third son of King Yan: "I've seen the three little princes, if we don't leave, this city gate will be closed." ”
There are still many people out of the city, and the city gate will not be closed for a while, but the most important thing is that the people who are chasing after - the scattered guards of the palace will soon be found, and when there is no figure of Zhu Gaochi and the three of them, someone will soon think that they are leaving the city.
When the time comes, it's really a net...
With such a reminder, everyone didn't dare to delay any longer, and a few people who changed into people's clothes merged into the flow of people out of the city, moving out of the city step by step.
The news of Mochou Lake has not yet been transmitted for the time being, so the soldiers guarding the city are still the same as before, and when it was Zhu Gaochi's turn, they were only slightly surprised by Zhu Gaochi's obesity, and there was no problem with the inspection, so they waved and let them go.
As night fell completely, Jinling City became a huge black shadow behind him, and everyone who escaped from the city breathed a sigh of relief.
It was only a moment later that the smile that had just appeared was gone.
The closed city gate suddenly opened, and with it, there were dense guards patrolling the city and brocade guards!
Gu Huai sighed, pulled out the knife, and stabbed Dong Liangcai's waist.
"Peixi won't let you live because you know too much."
"Don't blame me."
