Chapter 21: The chess pieces planted by Rong Yueye

The two men in black smirked smugly, making their menacing faces look extremely distorted and ugly. A breeze blew, blowing the aqua-blue light veil covering the hat of the person in front of him, revealing a handsome and elegant face.

But the pride in their hearts made the two men in black ignore the fierce color that flashed in the eyes of the man in blue, and in an instant, with two wisps of strong wind, two steel balls popped out from the fingers of the man in blue.

Before the two men in black could hold their swords, the steel ball passed directly through their throats. Before the smug look on his face could be retracted, he had already fallen to the ground.

"The owner of the tea stall should be happy to see you on the road. The clear and ethereal voice gently escaped from between the teeth of the man in blue.

He walked gracefully towards the thatched tea stall, and when he stepped past the corpses of the two men in black, it was as graceful as stepping over the steps made of jade, and even the dust could not touch the water-blue hem of his clothes.

The slender jade hand, which was more delicate than the woman, stretched out from the wide sleeves of the aqua blue coat, took the kettle that was burning on the stove and poured it on the ground.

The soil, which had been dried up for a long time, was absorbed clean by the poisoned tea in an instant, as if it had been a rain for a long time.

After doing all this, the man in blue looked at the mess inside and outside the tea stall, and frowned slightly, as if he was very dissatisfied with such an environment. But he did not leave, but stood quietly aside, standing with his hands in his hands, as if waiting for something.

On the empty official road, gusts of autumn wind blow, bringing up bursts of yellow sand and smoke from time to time.

The dilapidated tea stand was left alone, the only remaining square table and the chair next to it were staggered, and in addition to the bodies of the two men in black on the ground, there was also a table that had been split in half, and a pile of bamboo fragments from the broken bamboo chairs.

Standing in an aqua blue robe, even the tattered and bloody surroundings could not hide the elegance and nobility on his body. Even if you can't see his face, just such a back, it is not difficult for people to believe that he is outstanding.

He stood silently until he heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from a distance, and the aqua blue figure jumped out for a few feet, and after a few takeoffs, disappeared into the official road sprinkled with dusk.

"Master, the tea stand in front seems to have been fought. As she approached the tea stand, Rosewood saw two black-clad corpses lying on the ground.

"Go up and see if the stall owner is still there?" Rong Yunxiao said as he pulled the horse rope and slowed down. Behind him, Hua Wuying and Qingxiyun also slowed down like him, and it was still Zi Sandalwood who was better at inquiring about the news.

When the three of them came to the tea stall slowly, Rosewood had already come out of the tea stall. "Only these two bodies were found, and the stall owner was not seen. ”

It's strange to see the stall owner's figure, in this case, even if the stall owner is lucky enough not to die, he should have fled for his life. In the rivers and lakes, who lives and who dies is often just a matter of moments.

"There's nothing wrong with the water. Zi Sandalwood took out the silver needle he carried with him, opened the water tank of the tea stall, and said after trying it.

Hearing her say this, the other three took out water bladders and filled them with water.

"It was like being pierced through the neck by some round hard object. Qing Xiyun took a sip of water and turned the body of a man in black over with his foot, and saw that there was a piercing hole in the back of his neck, and the blood that flowed out had turned dark red.

"Directly penetrating the entire neck, the internal strength of the person who does it is amazing. Rosewood also leaned over and carefully looked at the corpse's neck.

"This man also suffered a knife wound before he died. Hua Wuying stepped lightly on the arm of the other corpse, and the black cloth on his arm quickly loosened, revealing a deep wound that could be seen to the bone.

"If you can pierce a person's neck with a hidden weapon, you will not be able to slash him before killing him. Before we arrived, there should have been a show of praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind. Rong Yunxiao stood aside from afar, listened to the description of the three of them, and said lightly.

Now that the water had been replenished, and the two corpses were pouring down at the tea stall, the four of them did not stop any longer, and after a brief rest, they got back on their horses and hurried away.

Tianji Kingdom, Xuanwang Mansion.

Rong Yueye's thin lips took a sip of tea, then put the tea cup aside, and waved his hand. The servant girl who hung her head beside the tray immediately understood, and quietly withdrew after neatly packing up.

Seeing Wang Shanhai, the steward of the house, coming in a hurry, Rong Yueye waved away the two maidservants who were waiting in front of the door, and then said slowly: "It's so late, but what happened?"

Wang Shanhai is a eunuch who has been serving Rong Yueye since he was a child, and after the princes sealed the king's mansion, Wang Shanhai served as the steward of the Xuanwang Mansion. Among the many attendants in the house, Wang Shanhai is the most trusted person in Rong Yueye.

Wang Shanhai has passed the age of his establishment, and many years of palace life have tempered him into a cautious and calm person. Rong Yueye hadn't seen him walk in such a hurry for a long time, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

After Wang Shanhaiguan went to the door, he approached Rong Yueye and whispered: "Your Highness, Princess Ming, please go to the Ming Palace, saying that she has already opened the people, and please rest assured." ”

When Rong Yueye heard this, a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes, but then she was covered by the drooping curtains.

"When I replied to her, I had already told her that she would not do anything without the king's orders. Rong Yueye's tone could no longer hear any of his emotions.

The slave reminded her, but she said that if Her Highness didn't go tonight, she would have to come to the palace to see His Highness. "When Princess Ming's words of implied threat came out, even Wang Shanhai didn't feel angry in his heart.

"Mountains and seas, change my clothes for me. Rong Yueye was not angry, just snorted lightly, and immediately decided to go to the appointment.

Wang Shanhai quickly took out a set of night clothes, carefully untied the gilt belt for Rong Yueye, and took off the gorgeous coat. After waiting for Rong Yueye to put on his night clothes, he took off the golden crown that tied his hair for him.

After a while, Rong Yueye, who was dressed in night clothes, appeared in front of Wang Shanhai, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a tall and slender figure, even if Rong Yueye changed into an assassin's costume, he couldn't hide his nobility and arrogance at all.

Rong Yueye pushed open the window and jumped out, and after a few ups and downs, a black dress disappeared into the vast night. Only Wang Shanhai was left in the room, still standing in front of the window, with a worried look in his eyes.

This Ming princess is unintentional, she is a chess piece that Rong Yueye has always placed beside Rong Yunxiao, and she is also a dead soldier who has followed Rong Yunxiao for many years. Rong Yunxiao never came back after leaving the palace three years ago, and Rong Yueye took a lot of effort to change Wuxin's innocent identity, and in the name of Princess Ming, he was placed in the Ming Palace.

Princess Ming didn't care about this move, Rong Yueye has not moved, and she has been keeping to herself in the past three years, but I don't know why she suddenly asked to see Rong Yueye tonight.

After the dust king Rong Yunxiao left the palace, the power of the DPRK and China has been surging in the past three years. The three forces of Xuan Wang Rong Yueye, Ming Wang Rong Leimo, and Yiwang Rong Changfeng temporarily formed a three-legged trend.

On the surface, it seems to be calm, but everyone knows that at this time of contention, if you are not careful, you may even lose your life. At such a juncture, it was really not a wise move for King Xuan to sneak into the Ming Palace, alone in a night suit, late at night.

But Rong Yueye had to go, Princess Ming had no intention of this chess piece, and it took him a lot of thought. Besides, she dared to say that if King Xuan didn't go to the appointment, she would come to the door to ask for a meeting, which was really presumptuous.

This chess piece has been silent for three years, and it is suddenly so impatient, no matter whether it wants to continue to keep it or not, Rong Yueye must go there in person.
