Chapter 144: The crown prince was assassinated and turned back to Beijing
Xie Xun laughed twice, "I thought you wouldn't ask." ”
Chen Anning stared at him.
Why Song Shizhong embarked on this path is not clear for the time being. But Lu Deqiu, I can guess some. The carriage left the Taishou Mansion, and slowly walked towards the city gate in the midst of the people's farewell. Xie Xun's gaze swept over the people on both sides of the street, and his voice was a little erratic, "Dawei was brought down by two brothers. ”
"My brother is open-minded and belongs to the genius of the military division. The younger brother is brave and good at fighting, and few people can beat him. After the world was pacified, the elder brother became the emperor naturally, and the younger brother was naturally named the hereditary king of Anbei. It's just that the country is in power, but the younger brother is still like in wartime, doing his own thing, and even pulling out his sword to kill people if he doesn't agree with him, and he doesn't care about any laws and regulations. ”
Over time, the court and the people complained. The elder brother tried to persuade him several times to no avail, so he could only forcibly withdraw his younger brother's military power. ”
"This move undoubtedly annoyed my younger brother, and at the instigation of someone with a heart, my younger brother planned a rebellion that would not happen again."
"Lu Deqiu's ancestor is a general under the King of Anbei."
"At the beginning of the founding of the country, when he was rewarded for meritorious service, his grandfather was made an earl. It's just that in the inheritance of his descendants, his great-grandfather was robbed of his knighthood and stripped of his official position for embezzling disaster relief funds. Although his father changed his name and surname, and returned to officialdom through scientific examinations, whether he has hatred for the royal family's 'unkindness' in his heart can also be seen from his actions. ”
"They didn't think about it," Chen Anning mocked, "even if they succeeded in overthrowing the royal family and regaining their titles, if their descendants didn't abide by the law, they would still end up in the fate they have now?" ”
"How could they not have thought about it," Xie Xun couldn't help but be a little ridiculed between his words, "It's just that the matter has not been accomplished, and the promise can naturally be sufficient." ”
Chen Anning sneered: "Then it's not surprising that they ended up now." ”
Xie Xun glanced at her, "Lu Deqiu pleaded with you?" ”
"I didn't see him." Chen Anning said, "It's just that after listening to a few remarks from Miss Lu Wu, I suddenly had this question." ”
"What did she say?" Xie Xun asked.
"I didn't say anything," Chen Anning said lightly, "Let's just say that those people were deceived because they were greedy and stupid." ”
"Although this is the case," Xie Xun said after a long breath, "but it is not a reason for her father to harm others. ”
Chen Anning skipped the topic of Lu Deqiu, "What's the situation in the capital?" ”
"...... over there in the capital" As soon as Xie Xun raised his head, he saw a cloud of dust and smoke galloping in their direction like a rolling long wave.
Soon, the dust and smoke came to him.
"Beijing Emergency!" It is the eunuch Zhao Gonggong next to the emperor.
Xie Xun lightly took the secret letter handed over by Zhao Gonggong, "What's the matter, say." ”
Gonggong Zhao said urgently with a sharp voice: "The prince was stabbed by a traitor, his life is hanging by a thread, and he urgently needs Miss Chen Er to return to Beijing for help!" In addition, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen were also accidentally poisoned and needed Miss Chen Er to return to Beijing for treatment! ”
When Gonggong Zhao spoke, Xie Xun had already opened the secret letter, and after a quick glance, he handed it to Chen Anning and ordered: "Change the route, go back to Beijing!" ”
The convoy immediately turned around and headed in the direction of the capital.
Gonggong Zhao looked at the speed of the car, and wanted to remind the prince that he was in danger and needed to hurry up, but looking at Xie Xun's cold face, he didn't dare to open his mouth to remind.
Chen Anning glanced at Zhao Gonggong, who looked anxious, and then at Xie Xun, who looked calm, and his eyes fell on the secret letter.
The dead man infiltrated the East Palace to assassinate the prince...... It was he who planned with the emperor and the prince to lead the mastermind to do it, so it was logical that the sixteen guards of the imperial city, the six guards of the East Palace and the conspiracy in the palace!
In other words, the mastermind behind him thought that the prince was injured and could force them back to the capital, so as to buy time for Shuofang County to retreat, but in fact, every step was in the calculation of Xie Xun and the emperor!
After shattering the secret letter with internal force and letting the wind blow away, Chen Anning looked at Xie Xun and waited for his decision.
"I'm going to make you suffer again." After Xie Xun hooked the corners of his mouth, he instructed the entourage behind him, "Prepare the horse!" ”
When the entourage went to lead the horse, Xie Xun took advantage of the gap and instructed the rest of the entourage, "Miss Chen Er and I will go back to Beijing first, and we will take care of Miss Ling'er and the others, and there must be no mistakes!" ”
The retinue immediately retreated to the carriage where Ling'er and the group of children were riding.
After the entourage brought the horse and Chen Anning rode on, he hit the horse to Ling'er's carriage, knocked on the wall of the carriage, and waited for the eldest child who was with Ling'er to poke his head out, she said: "I have something important to go back to Beijing immediately, and the responsibility of taking care of Ling'er will be entrusted to you." Remember to let her take her medication and eat on time. ”
"Don't worry on the road, these people will accompany you to protect you. If you need anything, just ask them. ”
The eldest child nodded, "I know, sister has to be careful all the way." ”
Chen Anning touched his head with a smile, and after leaving the sentence 'I am waiting for you in the capital', he followed Xie Xun and followed Zhao Gonggong.
……
"Miss Chen Er, be careful!"
Starry night and evening of the third day.
When the group reached Tongkou Cliff, an arrow suddenly shot out of the forest, heading straight at Chen Anning's head.
Zhao Gonggong walked behind her and Xie Xun, and when he saw the sharp arrow, he instinctively whipped the sharp arrow, and at the same time, he couldn't help but remind him screaming.
As soon as the arrow landed.
Several more sharp arrows were fired.
Zhao Gonggong snorted coldly and flew up, and after whipping down all the sharp arrows, the person also rushed into the dense forest like lightning.
A team of secret guards followed closely behind, and when Xie Xun raised his hand, they also followed.
The sound of the fight soon rang out.
And another team of black-clothed people also rushed out of the dense forest on the other side, surrounding Chen Anning and Xie Xun.
Chen Anning held the horsewhip, and a little excitement flashed faintly in his eyes.
When Xie Xun saw it, he couldn't help but chuckle twice, and said, "One and a half? ”
At the same time that Chen Anning was well, the person was already flying towards the black-clothed man in front of him.
When the man in black saw that she knew martial arts, he was slightly stunned, and then quickly raised his sword and stabbed him.
Chen Anning had no sword and no other weapons.
All she could use was the whip in her hand.
And, of course, there's the poison of the body.
However, she did not use poison.
She wanted to try how high her martial arts were.
But soon she was disappointed.
These black-clothed people in front of him can't even catch up with half of Xie Xun's skills.
After solving them easily, Chen Anning looked at Xie Xun and expressed with his eyes: That's it.
Xie Xun smiled: "Don't worry, there are more places for you to do it in the back." ”
"If it's all at this level, it's okay not to do it." Chen Anning said disdainfully.
"Picked an opponent again?" Xie Xun teased.
Chen Anning raised his eyebrows.
"The people in the back are stronger than these." Xie Xun said.
That's still ......
Well?
And people!
Chen Anning looked at the people who came out of the dense forest, and his eyes were faintly flashing with expectation: I hope to be stronger than the previous ones!
