Manual of the East Palace Mutual Performance Section 114
"It's time to do it."
Ning Zhen smiled and sighed, "Isn't Ah Chemo in a hurry?" β
Although I don't know what he is anxious about, he has never been rash in doing things, and it is very rare to have such a final decision as now.
Shen Che shook his head and said indifferently: "It's just that the time has come." β
"Yes." Ning Zhen didn't doubt him, and messed up the chess game with one palm, "This will be arranged." β
On the other side, in the Huguo Temple, Han Song, who belongs to the East Palace Shadow Guard, is hiding in a tree outside the dormitory.
In terms of seniority, his status in the shadow guard is second only to the commander Qingheng.
Han Song received the order as early as more than a month ago, and his task was actually to get close to the only son of Chi Licheng's family, Chi Huaiyu.
It was Chi Chi who always felt that there were still some things in the Chi family that she didn't know, and she was uneasy, although she tried Chi Qingxuan last time, it didn't completely dispel her doubts.
After returning from Northern Xinjiang, she remembered this incident again, and said to Ning Xun that Chi Licheng also has a son, who is only ten years old this year, and he is stubborn and playful, but he knows a lot - after all, he is a child, compared to Chi Qingxuan, his mouth must be easy to pry open.
Since she said it, even if Ning Xun sent someone to investigate-just when she was employing people, the matter of sending her to Jingzhou was more urgent, so she couldn't divide too many people. Moreover, Chi Huaiyu is young, and if too many people are sent, it will be easy to scare him.
In the end, Han Song was selected to approach Chi Huaiyu.
Han Song spent a lot of effort, and set a trap step by step for more than a month, first gaining Chi Huaiyu's trust, and then taking him to the gambling house. After a few times, he became addicted, and he didn't dare to tell his family, and when he put all his fingers in, he coerced and lured him to spit out what he should have said and what he shouldn't have said.
From Chi Huaiyu's mouth, I learned that since Chi Qingxuan lived in Huguo Temple and devoted himself to worshipping Buddha, there were fewer people from the Zhenguo Mansion. But Chi Licheng often went to Huguo Temple some time ago, saying that he was going to visit Chi Qingxuan, but in fact, he looked solemn every time he came back, and then he would be busy for a while.
After all, it's just a child, and the more detailed situation is not something that Chi Huaiyu can know.
But in terms of time, the time when Chi Licheng often went to Huguo Temple was when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was far away in northern Xinjiang.
The Chi family is really different.
Han Song thought about going to Huguo Temple to explore the truth first, so he didn't have time to reply - he just came to take a look, and he would return to the East Palace tonight to give it to the commander, and then hand it over to His Highness to decide.
Maybe he was too lucky, but after staring for an hour, he saw Chi Qingxuan come out of the squatter room, looked around vigilantly, and then walked in the direction of the previously abandoned Buddhist hall of Huguo Temple.
He followed, watched Chi Qingxuan walk to a Buddhist hall, cautiously looked around and flashed inβthe moment she entered the door, Han Song saw a familiar face through the crack.
The Four Princes.
It's the Four Princes!
Han Song was horrified in his heart, and decided to return to the East Palace immediately.
He and Chi Qingxuan followed carefully, and there was no trace all the way, so the two people in the Buddhist hall were unaware.
But the moment he turned, the sound of arrows breaking through the air sounded behind himβthe arrows came so fast and fierce that before he could feel the pain, he could already see the cold iron piercing through his chest.
One arrow through the heart.
He was powerless. Han Song was stunned for a moment, couldn't support his body anymore, and fell heavily from the tree.
The moment he fell, he realized something, and his eyes widened suddenlyβhe still had the token of the East Palace on him!
The shadow guard should not carry anything that can reveal his identity. It was he who thought about going back tonight before he came, but somehow, the ghost envoy took the token with him like a god.
Han Song reached out and wanted to pull off the token and throw it away, but as soon as he put his hand on it, he suddenly swallowed. His eyes were wide until he died.
Ning Mian heard the movement outside, frowned, and said to Chi Qingxuan: "Hide here first, I'll go out and have a look." β
As soon as he went out, he saw Anal dressed in a strong suit, holding her gilded longbow in her hand, and moving her neck.
A little farther ahead, a man lay face down on the ground, an arrow piercing through his chest, presumably dead.
Anar rode β‘β‘ Zhan, and the arrows he shot never missed, and a single arrow was enough to kill a person.
In the pure land of Buddhism, Ning Mian's eyebrows couldn't help jumping, and he called her in Khitan language a little helplessly: "Anar." β
"If you're in a bad mood, you're just killing someone." Anal turned her head to look at him, "What's more, he's sneaky, maybe he's not a spy." β
She didn't want to come to Huguo Temple today, but she insisted that she follow, and she was reluctant to follow behind, leaving him far behind. Coincidentally, when she was coming over with a depressed heart, she saw a figure on the tree, and she passed by without thinking about it.
Hearing this, Ning Mian walked up to the corpse and squatted down to take a closer look. is a practitioner, Anar bargained for this cold arrow, if he really fights face-to-face, it may not be the result.
Then I saw the token on his body.
Ning Mian's pupils shrank, ignoring the blood stains, and reached out to take the token off.
He flipped over and looked at the token of the East Palace a few times, clenched it in his palm suddenly, and his expression was hideous for a moment: "I don't know how much my prince's brother still has left." β
He has been "conscientious" and assisted by the prince's side for many years, but he didn't know when the prince had such a secret agent.
His words were in the original dialect, and Anar should not have understood it, but she was vengeful, and she didn't know when she understood the meaning of the pronunciation of "prince".
She subconsciously clenched the longbow in her hand, "You promised me that you would ask me to take revenge with my own hands." How long will it be? β
Ning Mian looked at her and slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity.
The crown prince was obviously much more capable than he had previously imagined. Now that the prince has touched the Chi family, even if Anar kills this person, it is difficult to guarantee that the prince will not continue to investigate for this reason.
If he is exposed to the eyes of the prince, there is only one way to die.
Rather than that, it's better to strike first.
Ning Mian wiped the bloodstained token with his sleeve and put it in Anar's hand.
The day of the departure of the pond was a specially chosen auspicious day, but she went to Jingzhou in secret, so it was not appropriate to be extravagant, and the guards could not bring too much. Ning Xun divided most of the penumbra guards to follow secretly, and put Qing Heng beside her, so that she could barely feel at ease.
It had just rained lightly the night before, and most of the heat that had been brewing was dissipated. The pond woke up early in the morning and nestled in Ning Xun's arms to listen to the birdsong outside.
In the past few days, they have been tired of being in one place almost for a moment, thinking that this is enough and that they will be better after being separated for more than a month, but they didn't think that the throbbing pain during separation would come earlier.
Until the cicada clothes were crisp and shouted outside: "Your Highness, girl, it's time!" β
Ning Xun hugged her hand tightly, lowered his head and kissed her eyebrows, "Get up." β
Zhichi hugged his arm, not wanting to let go for a while, and after a while, he said sullenly: "Ah Xun should go to ask for the holy decree earlier, otherwise the emperor of Jingzhou Tiangao is far away, and if it drags on for too long, I will have to run away." β
"If you want to run, run away."
His eyes widened unconsciously, and he looked up in shock, but he was just hitting the lips he kissed. The lips and teeth are thin and tossing, as if they are infinitely in love.
With a smile, he said in a low voice: "At the end of the world, I will also arrest you back." β
"On the eighth day of the eighth month of August, we got married."
Everything was put in order, and he got into the carriage, lifted the curtain again, and stretched out his hand.
Ning Xun came over and held her hand.
She only spread out her palm, and a sachet appeared in her palm.
White background, gold thread embroidered crane pattern. It was made by her secretly carrying Ning Xun during this period of time, embroidered very carefully, she practiced over and over again, and the stitches have improved a lot compared to the previous one.
The crane pattern is to pray for peace.
Ning Xun looked up at her suddenly, and his eyebrows bent, "It's just the same as the previous one, just a pair." β
"Your Highness, wait for the title pool to come back."
Her hand was clenched, and for a while, she heard him answer, "Okay." β
Qing Heng on the side asked for instructions: "Your Highness, it's time." β
Ning Xun took the sachet from her hand, but before she withdrew her hand, a kiss fell on her palm.
It's light, light like a piece of snow falling. Rank Pool clenched his hands into fists, as if he had carefully gathered the snow in the palm of his hand.
She withdrew her hand and slowly spread her palm, but the palm was empty.
Ning Xun looked at her and instructed Qing Heng: "Let's go." β
Her heart suddenly emptied, and she lifted the curtain again, only to see him farther and farther away from the sound of horses' hooves, until he disappeared.
I don't know why she was always worried in her heart, thinking that she would get better after a while, but the longer it went on, she only became more and more panicked. Only to the outskirts of Beijing, the carriage stopped-Qing Heng saw that her face was not very good, after all, it was the first day of departure, so he simply rested early.
They were not in a hurry on the way this time, and they could settle down at the inn at night and have a good rest.
The inn was set up earlier, and for the sake of safety, a whole floor was chartered, and you could live directly in the past.
Except for Qing Heng, the shadow guards all followed secretly, and there were only ten guards she brought on the surface.
The meal had already been prepared in the pond room, but she had no appetite for the carriage for a long time, so she hastily used some and asked someone to withdraw.
It was at this time that Qingheng broke in.
She had never seen such an impatient look on Qing Heng's face, and before she could ask, Qing Heng said in a deep voice: "There is a change in the East Palace. β
There are fireworks between the shadow guards to convey messages, which are usually used in times of emergency. At present, the shadow guard was divided into two halves, half stayed in the East Palace, and the other half escorted Zhichi to Jingzhou.
"With His Royal Highness's attention to the girl, if they are not forced into a desperate situation, they will not be allowed to release the news."
The nails of the chichi were unconsciously embedded in the palm of his hand, and he immediately decided: "I will stay in the inn and not go anywhere, it is enough to leave the guards." You take the shadow guard back to the East Palace quickly! β
Qing Heng had this intention, and when he heard this, he didn't shirk anymore, just saluted her, and strode out.
After Qing Heng left, the sky was completely dark. He shrank on the couch, but he didn't feel sleepy at all, only left a lamp on the desk, and hid a self-defense dagger in his arms, and slowly boiled up.
The night grew darker, and after some time, she heard footsteps outside.
There are guards, and those who can come up to this level are their own people.
So she thought it was Qingheng who was back, she was anxious to ask what was going on, and immediately jumped off the couch when she heard the footsteps, and she didn't even have time to put on her shoes and boots, and trotted all the way to the door.
My heart was beating so fast that I was even sweating.
She pulled the door open.
But when she saw the person standing in front of the door, she only felt cold blood all over her body.
Shen Che stood at the door, with blood all over the ground behind him. The guards she brought were all lying in pools of blood, and they didn't even have time to make a sound.
In the long corridor, there are all dead soldiers from the Zhenguo Mansion dressed in black.
He took two steps back, his hands trembling slightly.
Shen Che looked at her and laughed slowly: "Zhichi, it's time to come back." β
