Chapter 232: Who Saved the Eldest Princess
Although this strange dragon armor talks like a sieve, it is still very reliable.
In less than half an hour, a carriage arrived.
I'm afraid that his subordinates didn't leave at all, and they were all hidden in the shadows, otherwise how could he do things so quickly by himself.
The dense forest hut couldn't stay long, and when the carriage arrived, Qin Shuhuang asked Long Jia to help carry Xuan Cang into the carriage.
The carriage is not big, but it is carefully arranged inside.
The seats on both sides of the carriage were dismantled, and there were soft quilts and two pillows, just enough for the unconscious Xuancang to lie in the carriage.
When Xuan Cang got into the carriage, Long Jia also deliberately went to Qin Shuhuang's side to plead guilty: "Your Highness, the situation is special, and it is not good for your subordinates to prepare another carriage, so I will wronged you to ride with Xuan Cang, and my subordinates will be your coachmen outside." Your Royal Highness rest assured, when you return to the capital, your subordinates will definitely not mention this matter to the prince. ”
Qin Shuhuang: ...... Hehe!
The corners of Qin Shuhuang's mouth twitched and he got into the carriage, and Long Jia dutifully became a coachman.
The official road is full of ordinary carriages that pull goods and carry people, and this carriage is driving on the official road, and with the dragon armor, the appearance of everyone is not at all.
A small courtyard in Ningshui City.
Luo Chu sat in the hall with a book in his hand, and it had been half an hour, but he still hadn't turned a page.
He picked up the tea cup that had been cold next to him and poured it into his mouth, and finally he couldn't sit still, put down the book, and walked back and forth in the hall restlessly.
Bo Ying wanted to stop Mr. Luo from drinking cold tea, but before he could stretch out his hand, the tea had already been drunk by Mr. Luo.
Bo Ying was helpless, he had followed Mr. for so long, and it was the first time he had seen Mr. so anxious.
Luo Chu said: "Boying, go to the kitchen to prepare dinner first." ”
Bo Ying was ordered to leave.
Not long after the scholar Bo Ying left, a man in gray appeared in the hall.
"How is the Xue Mansion over there?"
The gray-clothed man arched his hand and said: "Mr. Hui, Xue Duwei's lieutenant led people to search the Xue Mansion, but nothing was found, at this time, Xue Duwei had already gone to the Wei Mansion with the betrayed lieutenant general. ”
"Is there any news of the eldest princess?"
"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess was sent out of the Xue Mansion by Xue Duwei's people, and she has already left Ningshui City."
"What about General Liu?"
"Mr. Hui, there is no movement at the moment."
After getting this news, Luo Chu's heart sank.
The absence of news at this time is not good news.
General Liu is not a person who can calm down, if Qin Shuhuang leaves Ningshui safely, General Liu will definitely not have a little movement there, he will definitely send someone to continue to chase and kill, if Qin Shuhuang has not been found, General Liu will not sit in the Wei Mansion and wait.
Therefore, General Liu is afraid that he already knows the whereabouts of the eldest princess, his people are in action, and he is seventy or eighty percent sure that he can catch the eldest princess, so that General Liu can be so quiet!
"Where is Xuan Cang, the eldest princess's personal guard?"
"My subordinates don't know...... In the morning, Xuancang went to the morning market, and when he saw that the eldest princess was not there, he left, and his subordinates failed to catch up with ......"
When Luo Chu heard the news, he almost couldn't control his emotions.
He rubbed the corners of his forehead, "Go ahead and find out the news!" Especially General Liu's side, if there is any news, report it as soon as possible! ”
"Yes!"
The man in gray dodged away.
The originally quiet gate of the Wei Mansion was noisy at this time.
The housekeeper and the guards couldn't stop Xue Duwei who was about to break into the Wei Mansion with his soldiers.
Helpless, the housekeeper could only plead with a bitter face: "Xue Duwei is not in a hurry, I will go back to the house to inform the master, and the master will definitely give Xue Duwei an explanation." ”
Xue Duwei Dama Jindao stood at the gate of the Weifu with a group of people, with a black face like a debtor Yama, "Go quickly, don't reply to the official for half an hour, be careful that the official leads the troops to rush the Weifu!" ”
"Don't worry, my lord, I'll go here and there!"
In the study in the front yard of the Wei Mansion, the Wei Governor's Mansion was talking to General Liu, and the guards were outside the door to report that the housekeeper was in a hurry to see him.
Governor Wei had no choice but to apologize to General Liu and went to see the housekeeper.
Governor Wei stood in front of the housekeeper with an ugly face, "What's the matter?" ”
The housekeeper had a bitter face, "Master, Captain Xue is going to rush in through the gate of the mansion with people, and there are now all Captain Xue's officers and soldiers outside, what should we do?" ”
Wei Zhifu's eyes widened in shock, "Is the surname Xue crazy!" Dare to trespass on my guard's house! ”
The housekeeper looked embarrassed, "Master, Wang Chen was rebelled by General Liu, and General Liu is in your name......"
"What! General Liu...... He ......"
The housekeeper continued: "Wang Chen broke into the Xue Mansion with his subordinates, turned the Xue Mansion upside down, and did not find the person he was looking for, but angered Xue Duwei, who is now twisting Wang Chen in front of the gate of our mansion, and wants to turn over our Wei Mansion as well......"
It was clear that he didn't do it, but he wanted him to carry this pot, Wei Zhifu only felt unjustly panicked, but he didn't dare to get General Liu out of the tank.
can only knock out teeth and swallow blood, and is ready to beg Xue Duwei in person.
Rubbing the corners of his forehead, Wei Zhifu said: "You respectfully invite Xue Duwei to the flower hall in the front yard, and the official will personally entertain you, remember, you must be polite!" ”
It's true that he is the regent, but no matter how powerful the regent is, he is also in the capital, and now General Liu can rely on the power of the regent to help him suppress Xue Duwei, but General Liu obviously does not stay here for long, as soon as he leaves, Xue Duwei confronts him everywhere, and he can't do it as a prefect.
Xue Duwei was soon invited to the best flower hall in the Wei Mansion.
The people serve the best tea and the best snacks, and even the maids who serve the tea are the best looking in the house.
It's a pity that Xue Duwei pulled his face and didn't even drink a sip of good tea.
Wei Zhifu appeared in the flower hall with a smile.
"What kind of wind blew Xue Duwei here, come on, this is the good tea I just got not long ago, Xue Duwei taste it."
Xue Duwei glanced at the chubby Wei Governor in front of him, "Lord Wei's tea official doesn't dare to drink it, I'm afraid that if I drink it, I will become Lord Wei's person." ”
"Where, where, Xue Duwei is really good at joking."
Xue Duwei glanced at Wang Chen, the deputy general who was kneeling at the door of the flower hall and was tied up by him, "This official came today to send people to Lord Wei, since Wang Chen said that it was your person, then this official will send people to the Wei Mansion, and the Wei Governor's Mansion will see how to arrange it." ”
"Vice General Wang is under Xue Duwei, how can he be Wei's person, Wei has never participated in military affairs."
"Oh? It turns out that this is the case, it seems that Wang Chen is just a subordinate of the official? ”
"Of course, of course." Governor Wei responded with a smile.
"Since it's my subordinate, I will dispose of Wang Chen at will, Lord Wei should have no opinion, right?"
The corners of Wei Zhifu's mouth twitched, "Of course not, Xue Duwei's people, you can deal with it as you want." ”
So Xue Duwei suddenly stood up and walked towards the five-flowered and tied up Vice General Wang who was kneeling outside the door.
walked in front of Vice General Wang, and without waiting for Vice General Wang to say a word, the sword flashed, and the head was already separated!
Wei Zhifu, who came out with him, happened to see this scene, and he was so shocked that he almost sat down on the ground.
He stared at Xue Duwei in amazement, he couldn't believe that he dared to kill someone in his Wei Mansion!
Wei Zhifu pointed at Xue Duwei with a trembling finger, and stammered: "Xue Duwei, you ...... You are lawless, you dare to kill people at will! ”
Wang Chen was the nail of the Wei Governor's Mansion who worked hard to rebel under Xue Duwei, and only secretly lent it to General Liu once, but he didn't expect it to be scrapped, it is fake not to feel distressed, but the fear is also real.
He didn't expect Xue Duwei to be so ruthless, he said that he would do it, and he would do it with his hand, and in front of him, the subordinates who were previously called brothers were gone.
At this moment, Wei Zhifu was really shocked by Xue Duwei.
Xue Duwei snorted, "Wang Chen is the subordinate of this official, according to military regulations, if he betrays the main general, the main general has the right to execute him!" ”
Wei Zhifu couldn't help but shake his body after hearing Xue Duwei's words, and was about to continue to accuse Xue Duwei, when the Wei Mansion housekeeper hurriedly ran over and whispered in Wei Dufu's ear, "Master, General Liu is angry in the left courtyard, go and take a look!" ”
Wei Zhifu's body stiffened, he hadn't dealt with Xue Duwei's killing talent on his side, and General Liu on the other side was also "on fire".
Wei Zhifu, who has been smooth for several years, only feels that the last few days have been difficult, no wonder at the beginning of the year, the master in the temple told him fortune and said that he was not going well this year.
Although the voice of the housekeeper of the Wei Mansion was small, it could not hide the deaf and clear-sighted Xue Duwei.
After Wei Zhifu learned the news, where was he still in the mood to deal with Xue Duwei, he tried his best to ignore the deputy general Wang who was in a different place next to him, walked to Xue Duwei's side, and bowed his hand to Xue Duwei, "No matter what, today Wei owes Du Wei, and I also ask Du Wei to look at the feelings of working together for many years, be tolerant of one or two, wait for Wei to deal with the urgent matters at home, and in a few days, prepare a generous gift to go to the Du Wei Mansion to make amends." ”
Xue Duwei squinted his eyes and glanced at the Wei Governor's Mansion, and snorted coldly, the purpose of his coming today has been achieved, and it is not interesting to continue to stay in the Wei Mansion.
"I hope that Lord Wei knows the proportions, Xue will leave!"
After speaking, Captain Xue left with the officers and soldiers.
Governor Wei kicked the butler's butt, "What are you doing in a daze, don't you go to send Lord Duwei!" ”
"Yes, sir!" The butler rubbed his butt and chased after him, and led someone to personally send Xue Duwei out of the Wei Mansion.
Xue Duwei left, and Wei Zhifu immediately ordered someone to dispose of the body of Deputy General Wang, wipe the blood splashed on the ground, and then wiped the sweat on his head to see General Liu.
Compared with seeing Xue Duwei, Wei Zhifu was more afraid of seeing this General Liu from the capital.
Early the next morning, General Liu left the Wei Mansion with his people.
Wei Zhifu, who had stayed in the study in the front yard all night and didn't close his eyes, was told that he took someone to the left cross courtyard where General Liu lived.
Wei Zhifu, who received two slaps from General Liu last night, and his face was swollen high, was suddenly scared in his heart after seeing the scene of Zuo Cross Courtyard.
None of the four maids he sent to serve General Liu in the Zuo Cross Courtyard survived, and all of them died miserably.
Even the four servants who served in the left courtyard did not end well, only one of the four was still alive, his legs were broken, his eyes were blind and dumb, and it was more painful to live than to die.
According to the old servant guarding the door of the left cross courtyard, the miserable cry for help in the left cross courtyard sounded all night last night.
Early in the morning, when General Liu left, there was still blood on his face, and I don't know if the blood was on someone else or himself.
When Xue Duwei returned to Xue's mansion, he sent someone to inform Luo Chu that Qin Shuhuang had successfully escaped from Ningshui.
At the same time, Xue Duwei also received the news that all the men he sent to protect Qin Shuhuang had been killed.
At the desk in the small courtyard, Luo Chu twisted his eyebrows, and rubbed the warm tea cup in his hand with his right hand.
The people sent by the senior brother to protect the eldest princess are gone, and General Liu's people are also unsuccessful, could it be that Xuan Cang saved the eldest princess?
But he subconsciously felt that it was not.
If Xuan Cang had someone who could use it, he would have been by the eldest princess's side a long time ago, and he would not have made a move at this time.
Who was the person who saved the eldest princess?
