Chapter 188: Civil strife in the capital, Emperor Yan's whereabouts
The old woman looked stunned and watched the two of them walk downstairs.
Xiang Huai had already lost his weapon, his face was full of worry, and Yang Shifei used a broken knife against his back, and he didn't dare to move more.
In the face of the power of heaven and man, no status is just a mustard, and he can only be captured obediently.
"Shaoxia, just now we had no eyes, and we rushed into everyone-"
"Less nonsense." Yang Shifei said calmly: "If you want to live, answer honestly." ”
Xiang Huai swallowed his saliva: "Young man, please say, I must know everything!" ”
"What happened in the capital of Yan Kingdom, and where did Emperor Yan go."
"This"
Xiang Huai listened even more nervously, and subconsciously glanced at the old woman not far away.
"I advise you to keep your thoughts less crooked."
The old woman reacted very quickly and sneered: "Don't think about making things up and deceiving this young man." ”
Cold sweat flowed from Xiang Huai's forehead.
"The capital, the capital of the town, the king of the south of the town, the joint prime minister and others. Gather the rebels and storm the palace."
"Emperor Yan, she was injured by General Huang Hong's sneak attack, and after breaking out of the encirclement, she escaped into the Dayan Valley and disappeared"
Yang Shifei glanced at the old woman behind him, and seeing that she didn't say anything to correct her, his face became more and more solemn: "Emperor Yan is still alive now?" ”
"No, I don't know."
Xiang Huai wiped the cold sweat on his face: "As far as I know, the body of Emperor Yan has not been found, and with his heavenly skills, he may not be dead."
"Who is in power in the current Yan Kingdom."
"It's the king of Zhennan, Yan Xuantong. He was originally orthodox of the imperial family, so he had the secret support of the secret guard of the imperial tomb, and he was the prime minister. And so it is."
"It's just a puppet emperor!"
The old woman suddenly snorted coldly: "As soon as he usurped the imperial power, he began to kill innocents indiscriminately. Now that filth is raging, he does not want to save the people, but instead finds his heart to eradicate dissidents.
In the hands of this person, the Yan Kingdom will perish in less than a year! ”
"We just do what we are told"
Xiang Huai scolded his mother in his heart when he heard it, and his back was soaked with cold sweat: "Whoever is the emperor of the dynasty, we will listen to whomever he orders." Emperor Yan is not harmed by our Tianchen Hall."
Yang Shifei thought for a while, and then asked, "Why did the king of Zhennan rebel?" ”
"I think it's because Emperor Yan is at odds with Prime Minister and others, and it's been like this for many years, so I have a different heart."
Xiang Huai said in a low voice: "King Zhennan is already quite praised by the ministers in the court, and he has a great relationship with the old general Huang Hong. They have been secretly working together for many years, and they are taking advantage of the filth to seize power. ”
Yang Shifei sneered secretly, these people really chose a good time.
"So, why do you chase and kill a child in the middle of the night?"
"It was General Huang Hong who ordered that all the people related to Emperor Yan should be killed so as not to leave a disaster."
Xiang Huai trembled and said, "This child is the daughter of a princess. They cannot be allowed to escape. ”
"Daughter?"
Yang Shifei raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at the old woman behind him.
"The princess is not the daughter of Emperor Yan."
The old woman hurriedly explained: "Decades ago, the previous generation of Emperor Yan was in power and accepted many concubines. But when he was dying of illness, Emperor Yan happened to be born out of thin air, suppressed the strong people of Yan with a sword, and had the special identity of a disciple of the Xuanming Cave, so the first emperor passed the throne to her.
Emperor Yan was kind-hearted, and after ascending the throne as emperor, he still retained the identity of those concubines and concubines. And that princess is the youngest eighth daughter of the emperor, who married the son of the Shangjia Hao clan a few years ago, and only gave birth to an heir last year. ”
Yang Shifei rubbed his temples: "Then Emperor Yan himself has relatives?" ”
"Not really."
The old woman shook her head: "Emperor Yan himself is obsessed with martial arts, and he has never been married, but he only occasionally chatted with a few concubines of the former emperor. ”
Yang Shifei's brows gradually furrowed: "So, is it because they have a good relationship with Emperor Yan on weekdays, so they sent people to kill them all?" ”
"Not only Emperor Yan, but even the people of the former emperor are not spared."
The old woman looked melancholy and sighed: "Now that there is a river of blood in the palace, I took advantage of the chaos to take this child out of the palace."
But when he was hiding in the capital, he heard that the puppet emperor was sending the emperor's secret guards to clean up all the relatives of the former emperor, so he immediately fled from the city. ”
"The so-called Imperial Tomb Secret Guards, is this group of people?"
Yang Shifei patted Xiang Huai's shoulder with a broken knife: "What is this. Tianchen Hall? ”
"I—We're just a force of external editors!"
Xiang Huai said in horror: "The real secret guard is a team secretly trained by the imperial family, and they only obey the orders of the emperor of the current dynasty. In order to expand the troops, they will secretly recruit some Jianghu sects to assist them. ”
The old woman snorted, "A bunch of lackeys! ”
Xiang Huai clenched his fists, his anger rose inexplicably, and the blue tendons on his forehead burst out.
Yang Shifei thought for a moment, and was about to ask for more information, but when he turned his head to look, his eyes gradually became crazy
"Wait. All of them are going to die! ”
Xiang Huai roared fiercely, reflexively wanting to make a move.
Yang Shifei made a move like lightning, and took the lead in kicking him in the chest, forcibly kicking him out for several feet.
Xiang Huai staggered to his feet, his eyes were torn apart with anger, and his roar became more and more weird—
"Is this man crazy?!"
The old woman was horrified. There is a heavenly man in Xuanwu Town, and he still dares to be powerful?
"Crazy indeed."
Yang Shifei narrowed his eyes: "And it's crazy." ”
As soon as the words fell, Xiang Huai let out a hoarse beast roar, the flesh and blood all over his body kept squirming, and the ten fingers of his hands became more and more sharp.
The old woman was frightened: "Demon?!" ”
"Signs of evil and evil appeared almost at the same time."
Yang Shifei muttered secretly: "Is it that a large amount of filth has long accumulated in the body, and it broke out out of control in an instant?" ”
Xiang Huai's eyes suddenly burst into anger: "Kill-"
As soon as his figure moved, a sword light slashed from the second floor, drawing a bloody light on his body.
“.”
Xiang Huai's expression became dumbfounded, and he fell to the ground on the spot and swallowed his breath.
The old woman glanced in the direction of the second floor, and then looked back at the corpse on the ground, a little frightened:
"He's dead?"
"Heaven and man shot, of course he died completely."
Yang Shifei casually threw away the broken knife: "Without the pursuers, where are you going to flee next?" ”
The old woman hurriedly came back to her senses: "I am going to take this child to Liang Country for temporary refuge." ”
"It is recommended that you go to the eastern city of Liang Guo and report this matter to Luofu. In the future, if Emperor Yan can return safely, he will be able to find you. ”
"Thank you for your advice!"
"Don't rush to say thank you just yet." Yang Shifei's expression was slightly solemn: "Tell me, where is the Wild Goose Valley located?" ”
The old woman thought about it for a while, and then she knew that he was here to save Emperor Yan: "Dayan Valley is located in the north of Zonglin County about three miles, there are two high mountains towering, and it seems to be a rift valley in between, and the young man can see it at a glance. ”
"Are there any other pursuers behind?"
"This child has just been weaned after all, and they are extremely important to be able to send this group of pursuers."
The old woman shook her head: "The capital is chaotic, and the puppet emperor can't divide more manpower." ”
"You take a break here and leave as soon as possible."
Yang Shifei casually pointed to the backyard: "There is still some bacon and water in it, which is enough for you to hold on to Liang Guo." ”
"The young man is leaving now"
"We've got it covered."
The clear female voice suddenly sounded, which was extremely ethereal and elegant.
The old woman subconsciously looked at the second floor, and when she saw the graceful and stunning shadow, she couldn't help but be stunned.
This kind of beauty is really a gesture of captivating the country and the city. In her experience, she has never seen such a moving beauty.
Heaven and man Xuanwu, and so young and beautiful, only in this world
Luo Xian'er was dressed in a moonglow robe, with her hair tied up, and she only glanced at her faintly.
The old woman hurriedly bowed her head respectfully: "Thank you Princess Luo for saving me!" ”
"It was my husband who stepped forward, you should thank him."
Luo Xian'er said indifferently: "Just leave with peace of mind, and we will try our best to save Emperor Yan." ”
After speaking, he glanced at Yang Shifei: "Do you want to leave now?" ”
"Let's go."
Yang Shifei's expression was solemn: "Emperor Yan's life and death are unknown now, and there is no delay." ”
Luo Xian'er bowed slightly, and went downstairs with her luggage with Yuerui to lead the horse to the bamboo stable.
Yang Shifei searched the corpses at random, confirmed that there was nothing, and said goodbye to the old woman:
"Thank you for the information, take care all the way."
"Be careful, too."
The old woman's tone was even more sincere: "The survival of the Yan Kingdom depends on you." ”
Yang Shifei didn't reply again, walked out of the inn quickly, and turned over on the horse.
With a neigh, the horses galloped away, and the figures of the three gradually disappeared into the moonlight.
The old woman looked out in front of the inn for a long time, and sighed at the sleeping child in her arms.
"This man is also a strange man."
