Chapter 246: It's a Little Late

The two men who were shielded as adult flesh directly met Zhu Gaoxuan, Zhu Gaoxuan raised his sword and stabbed one of the men while speaking.

"If you don't want to die, get out."

Both men were stunned......

It's not that they don't want to "get out", they just feel that in this situation, they can't leave even if they want to.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Gaoxuan didn't seem to be interested in their heads.

Ants are still stealing life, let alone people?

They turned their horses around and ran

Zhu Gaoxuan rode his horse directly and caught up with the man in front.

The man panicked, listening to the sound of horses' hooves approaching behind, he knew that he could not escape, so he had to turn his head hard.

Zhu Gaoxuan looked coldly at the man in front of him, as well as Song Sisi, who was held by him against his throat.

"Let the people go, I will spare you from dying today, if you don't let go, I will let the two of you die together. Anyway, there is no shortage of such a woman by the king's side. ”

Song Sisi's already pale little face turned even paler......

The knife in the man's hand was once again close to her throat, and the cold touch made her dare not move.

The man's voice was hoarse.

"Devils will trust your words. You let me go, and when I got to safety, I let your woman go. But if you don't let me go, I'll kill your woman first, and then I'll die with you. ”

I've seen madness, but I've never seen madness like this.

Zhu Gaoxuan snorted coldly.

"Are you sure you have what it takes? Since you don't want to let her go, let's just kill her. This king is an anxious man, and he doesn't like to drag mud and water. ”

The man was stunned for a moment, and the knife in his hand trembled, but it didn't really stab down.

Of course, he knew that without the amulet, he would only be dead today.

But if you don't kill this woman, it seems that there is no way to live......

When the man hesitated for a short time, Zhu Gaoxuan suddenly looked ahead.

"Your rescuers came pretty quickly......

The man's spirit was in a state of high tension, and he reacted a little slower, and subconsciously glanced back.

At the same time, Zhu Gaoxuan, who had been prepared for a long time, directly threw out the silver needle in his hand.

The silver needle pierced the vital part of the man's body like a rain of flowers, and the man's body was weak, and he fell straight from the horse.

As the blood stained his clothes, his breath weakened little by little, and he soon died.

The frightened Song Sisi cautiously jumped off the horse and collapsed directly on the ground.

She looked at the embarrassed face of the man in front of her.

"Why doesn't the prince stay alive?"

Zhu Gaoxuan pulled out the two silver needles on the horse's back at this time, and the horse ran away directly.

He squinted in the direction the horse had departed.

"If you stay alive, you're in danger."

Song Sisi's face was still ugly.

"Why did the prince come over?"

At this time, Zhu Gaoxuan tore off a piece of jade pendant from the man's body and looked at it carefully.

"Because I know you're in danger. It's just that I didn't expect the other party to do it so quickly, so I was a little late. ”

The jade pendant was golden yellow, and it looked like it should be made of pure gold, and there were very delicate patterns on it, so you could tell at a glance that it was made by a skilled craftsman.

Song Sisi also looked at the jade pendant.

"What's the origin of this jade pendant?"

Zhu Gaoxuan put away the jade pendant before answering her question.

"Yu Pei is from the royal family, and this person is either a subordinate of a minister, or a subordinate of a prince and princess."

Song Sisi looked confused.

"But why would they do it to me?"

Song Sisi, who has just come to Kyoto not long ago, has been doing his best to assist the divine doctor, and Zhu Gaoxuan has done a lot of good things in treating patients.

I didn't offend anyone at all.

Zhu Gaoxuan smiled slightly.

"Nine times out of ten, they want to tie you up and threaten me to achieve their ulterior motives. But it doesn't matter, there are no impermeable walls in this world, and this king will rescue them one day. ”

Song Sisi, who escaped death, went back to his room to rest directly after being taken back to his residence by Zhu Gaoxuan.

Zhu Gaoxuan directly called one of his subordinates, Shen Fei, and the two of them had a long talk behind closed doors.

Shen Fei looked at the jade pendant in Zhu Gaoxuan's hand, and his face was incredible.

"I look very familiar with this jade pendant, I must have seen it somewhere, but I can't remember where I saw it for a while."

Zhu Gaoxuan leaned back on the soft couch.

"The jade pendant is very precious, it should come from the palace, so let's ask the people in the palace to help recognize it. But don't show your feet, it's best to imitate a fake one. ”

Holding an imitation and asking people to recognize it, even if it is exposed, it is easy to cover up the past.

On the premise of not confirming who the real owner of this jade pendant is, Zhu Gaoxuan didn't want to startle the snake.

Shen Fei nodded.

"Don't worry, Lord Wang, I will definitely find out this matter as soon as possible."

Zhu Gaoxuan hesitated for a moment and spoke again.

"How many adult princes still live in Kyoto?"

Shen Fei thought for a while: "There are probably seven or eight more." However, most of those who can stay with the emperor after they become adults have no achievements. ”

Kyoto is the center of power, and there are dark waves all the time.

Therefore, Zhu Di is very wise to send the princes away when they reach adulthood and go to serve elsewhere.

Those who can stay in Kyoto are either the kind that can achieve nothing, or they are particularly clever in their means......

Zhu Gaoxuan nodded.

"Check them all and monitor their every move, because I suspect that the kidnapper was sent by one of them."

Shen Fei nodded yes.

"But I'm afraid it will take a little time."

Zhu Gaoxuan yawned.

"It doesn't matter, this king has time to wait, not in a hurry."

Shen Fei spoke again at this time.

"I heard that the crown prince and others are now on their way back, and I also heard that they will rush back before the state banquet."

Every year in the middle of the year, a state banquet will be held in the palace, and all the imperial relatives and relatives, as well as important ministers of the court, as well as their families, will be invited.

At the state banquet, there will be a wonderful singing and dancing performance, and a variety of delicacies will be prepared, and everyone will celebrate together.

It can be said that it is an annual festival.

Because he had been reporting outside before, Zhu Gaoxuan rarely had the opportunity to attend the state banquet before.

However, he was not interested in the slightest.

"What day is the state banquet set for?"

Shen Fei was stunned for a moment.

"I really don't remember this, I'll call someone to ask the Internal Affairs Office later......"

Outside, at this time, there was a stray of footsteps.

Then a guard came in and answered.

"Lord Wang, His Royal Highness the Holy Sun has sent the little jade girl back. You see......"

Zhu Gaoxuan was directly stunned.
