Chapter 230: Entering the Palace at Night
People often say: everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, and flies separately when disaster comes. It's not about you, many people will choose to ignore it, or even stay away, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with it on the surface, but with the passage of time, the occurrence of one thing will inevitably lead to more things that should not have happened, but maybe when something happens to you one day, you don't know it, it's just because of a cause you planted for yourself many years ago. Everything in the world is originally entangled with each other and restrained each other.
"What are your plans?" Tie Xiong frowned, looked at Wuxin and asked, he had already roughly guessed why Wuxin suddenly wanted to see Princess Ziling, but he couldn't figure out what Wuxin wanted to do.
Wuxin looked at Tie Xiong and Zhan Ying, and said lightly: "I want to tell her the truth of the matter, see how she reacts, and whether she is willing to cooperate with us." ”
Listening to Wuxin's words, Tie Xiong and Zhan Ying were surprised again. I saw Zhan Ying shaking her head at this time and said: "Even if you tell her what she can do, even if she goes to find the emperor and tells the emperor what you told her, the emperor may not believe her, maybe it will be used as a reason why she is unwilling to marry, now it is important to let the emperor believe it, not others." ”
"Not necessarily," Wuxin took Zhan Ying's words, looked at everyone, and continued: "Didn't the Battle Commander say that the emperor has begun to worry that the power of the Yanmen Royal Mansion cannot be controlled? Then you might as well tell him truthfully that the Yanmen Royal Mansion intends to rebel when welcoming relatives, even if he doesn't believe it, he will doubt it, and he will not easily believe what the Yanmen Royal Mansion said, so that the Xian Wangfu wants to cooperate with the outside world in the capital, and it will not be so easy, if I can convince Princess Ziling, then let Princess Ziling immediately report to the emperor, saying that she hopes to welcome the Yanmen Royal Mansion outside the capital, and does not want the Yanmen Royal Mansion to enter Beijing, and the emperor will definitely agree. ”
Listening to Wuxin's words, Tie Xiong and Zhan Ying's faces showed joy at the same time, this is indeed a feasible way. I saw Zhan Ying said: "Shaoxia is really resourceful, this is really a good way, you are right, you must not let them bring people into Beijing, if the Xianwang Mansion really wants to rebel, then the capital will be the world of the Xianwang Mansion except for the Praetorian Guard, and we dare not guarantee whether there is still the internal response of the Xianwang Mansion in the Praetorian Guard, and the capital is likely to become a dead city at that time, so they must not be allowed to enter the capital." ”
Wuxin nodded, and said affirmatively: "That's right, only out of the capital, we have a glimmer of hope, if the Xianwang Mansion has long been planning to rebel, then there must have been a lot of efforts secretly over the years, maybe even the Praetorian Guards will be torn apart by then, so it is the safest to go out of the capital, as long as the emperor is safe and sound, even if the Xianwang Mansion occupies the capital, it is just a chaotic minister and thief, and it will not be the orthodox emperor." At that time, once his true face is exposed, the armies of other places will definitely respond to the call and work together to crusade against the Xianwang Mansion. But the battle commander must remember that he must not tell the emperor the fact that the Xian Wang's Mansion is also going to rebel, otherwise the emperor may not believe it, and he will probably think that the war commander is deliberately taking revenge on the Seven Sage Kings. "He is right, you must know that Zhan Ying has now been explicitly forbidden by the emperor to leave the six gates and not enter the capital, just because of the false accusation of the Seven Sages King.
Zhan Ying nodded, his emotions seemed to be a little excited, this matter had been haunting his heart for a long time, and he couldn't find a solution, this unintentional suggestion was like a rainbow after the rain, which made his whole person suddenly brighten.
I saw him look at Wuxin with a look of appreciation and said: "Who said that Blood Knife Wuxin is a killer who only knows how to kill, the old man finally opened his eyes today, the old man represents the court today, on behalf of the people in the world, thank you for the young man's help!"
Wuxin hurriedly helped Zhan Ying up, shook his head and said: "The battle commander is serious, it's too early to say this, we don't know if this Princess Ziling is willing to believe us, whether she is willing to take a risk for us." ”
"What if Princess Ziling doesn't believe what you say?" said Tie Xiong, who had been sitting on the sidelines frowning and contemplative. The unintentional plan was absolutely unexpected, and the other party would never have thought of it, he was very relieved in his heart, and he was also happy for Qin Feng, the junior disciple under Jiuquan. But he was also worried about what to do if things didn't go as smoothly as he expected.
Hearing Tie Xiong's worries, he said lightly: "If our princess is sensible enough and can distinguish priorities, even if she doesn't believe it, maybe she will take a risk, but if this princess is unreasonable and stubborn, then we can only do our best to obey the destiny of heaven." ”
Hearing Wuxin's words, Tie Xiong and Zhan Ying frowned again, and the excitement in their hearts gradually faded, and the atmosphere once again seemed a little dignified.
After a while, Zhan Ying thought about it and said, "As far as I know, this princess of ours is a person who reads poetry and books and is kind to people on weekdays, so she should be able to give it a try." ”
"Trespassing on the palace is a capital crime, if you must go, you must hide your whereabouts, don't be discovered by the people in the palace, otherwise not only will I not be able to protect you with the war commander at that time, but the Xianwang Mansion will also take this opportunity to make a big fuss, and when the time comes, not only will you be in danger, but even the six doors will be implicated, then we will be defeated before we can fight, and the court will be finished." Tie Xiong frowned and said in a serious tone, hoping that Wuxin could understand the seriousness of this matter.
Wuxin took a deep breath, made up his mind, slowly stood up, nodded at Ruyi, who had been sitting on the side and did not speak, then took Ruyi's hand, took it to his side, looked at Tiexiong and said: "Before I come back, please Uncle Shi, and the battle commander can leave her in the six gates, and I will send someone to protect her in secret." ”
Tie Xiong and Zhan Ying nodded together after listening to Wuxin's words, for them, this was not a request at all, even if they didn't say it, they would do it.
From the moment Wuxin stepped into the six doors with Ruyi, Tie Xiong had already seen the relationship between the two of them that was not what it used to be, and he couldn't help but feel happy for Wuxin, in fact, he had already seen the affection between the two of them separated by a window paper when he first went to Phantom City, and now that they have accepted each other, it means that today's Wuxin is no longer the lonely walker he was at the beginning, and he is sincerely happy.
Seeing Zhan Ying and Tie Xiong nodding in agreement, he unintentionally turned to look at Ruyi, nodded heavily, his eyes were firm, he didn't say anything, turned around and walked out.
"I'll wait for you to come back. Ruyi looked at Wuxin, who was striding outside, and said softly, with a hint of stubbornness in his voice, revealing a firmness. She knew that Wuxin would definitely return safely.
Outside the hall, there were thirteen people standing, thirteen people dressed in black, holding long knives in their hands, and only revealing a pair of eyes, which were the "shadows". Today, the thirteen people finally reunited, and were lined up waiting for unintentional instructions.
Originally, he was not worried that the Xian Wangfu would make some moves during Zhan Ying's recuperation, so he deliberately arranged for the twelve "shadow" members except Leng to stay in the six doors to protect secretly, but there were no accidents these days, and the twelve "shadow" members also fell quiet, and they were concentrating on studying the Qin family knife genealogy that they were unintentionally handed over to them in their spare time, and their skills were even more sophisticated.
Looking at the thirteen ghost-like "shadows", he said lightly: "I want to go to the palace, you all stay here, protect this place from being violated by outsiders, and don't leave here until I come back, if there is any accident, then leave here quickly with Ruyi and Uncle Shi, and tie up and leave the capital." ”
Although he was very determined in it just now, he didn't know what he would encounter this time, after all, it was a palace, and not everyone could break in. Moreover, if the Xianwang Mansion can't catch up with Ruyi, he may soon know that he has come to the capital, and he is likely to make some moves, and he must arrange everything before he can feel at ease.
"Young master, let me accompany you. Leng Xing, who was standing at the bottom of the steps, looked at Wuxin and said sincerely, he hoped that Wuxin would take him with him, so that if anything happened, he could desperately cover Wuxin and leave.
But Wuxin shook his head and refused, now he is most worried not about himself, but about the people here, not to mention that this trip is to sneak into the palace, the fewer people, the better, and the more people there are, it is easy to be exposed.
Immediately, Wuxin looked at Leng and said seriously: "Protect her." With that, he jumped onto the roof and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Leng looked at the direction of Wuxin's disappearance, and nodded heavily, he knew the meaning of Wuxin's last sentence, and he also knew the trust behind that sentence. At that moment, after glancing at everyone, with a wave of his big hand, thirteen people and thirteen knives disappeared into the night in an instant, hiding in various places of the six doors.
The night, very dark and quiet, seems to still be immersed in the calm of the day, but everyone knows that it may not be long before there may be earth-shaking changes here, and even life and death.
A dark shadow, taking advantage of the night, kept jumping back and forth from house to house, but it did not make a sound, and the patrols that occasionally passed by on the street did not seem to notice it at all, holding torches slowly through the street, and walking into the distance.
Soon after, the dark shadow appeared under a towering wall, standing quietly in the woods, looking up at the wall hidden in the darkness, his face solemn. This person was none other than Wuxin, who had evaded all the patrols and sneaked outside the palace walls.
Wuxin looked at this wall under the night, and felt a lot of emotion, he was very familiar with this place, because this was the place he came to when he first came to the capital in order to capture the Jade Rakshasa at the beginning, and it was here that he caught the Ouchi chief who cooperated with the Jade Rakshasa at the beginning, that is, since then, the enmity between him and the Xianwang Mansion has been completely concluded, but he didn't expect to return here after so long, and this time, it directly affects the life and death between the two of them, I don't know if it has been destined from the beginning.
Thinking of this, Wuxin no longer hesitated, jumped onto the outer wall of the palace hidden in the darkness, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Deep in the palace, there is a palace called Zixuan Palace, which is relatively remote, so it is relatively quiet. Although it does not occupy a large area, it is a good place for self-cultivation, as soon as you enter the gate of the palace, you can smell a refreshing aroma of pollen, all kinds of flowers and plants are scattered in the courtyards around the palace, revealing a calm and indisputable world.
That's because the owner here was originally a person who had no quarrel with the world, that is, Princess Ziling, who was about to marry into the Yanmen Palace. Not arrogant, not competing for favor, just quietly shut himself here, concentrating on the study of flowers and plants, poems and books, and of course, piano, chess, and painting. Although many people have been envious of her recently, because she is about to step out of this cage-like palace, she herself does not care, and even resists, because she would rather choose to stay here forever and live in her own quiet world.
So, until late at night, she still didn't rest, still lighting candles, holding a book that she didn't know how many times she had read, because she knew that she was going to leave this place soon, and maybe never to come back, and she didn't want to waste her time on boring eating and sleeping.
She also knows why she was married thousands of miles away, she is not stupid, and she is very smart, but she can't resist, because she is just a princess who is not hurt by her mother, her mother died very early, and a princess who no one wants to stand up for her, what can she change.
In the depths of the dark palace, a slightly dim candlelight pierced through the window and shone out for a long time. A graceful, quiet figure is leaning on the couch, quietly bowing his head, looking at a book of poetry tightly held in his hand, as if he has forgotten the time, forgotten everything around him, and immersed in his own world.
This lonely figure is Princess Ziling, who is about to marry far away, a puppet who can't decide her own fate......
