Chapter 22 Night Question
Lang Yue smiled faintly, she believed that she had grasped the weakness of the person in front of her.
But seeing that the face of the guard commander remained unchanged, he said lightly.
"Her Royal Highness the princess doesn't know, although her subordinates have only recently been to the harem on an errand, but before that, she had seen the princess several times at the gate of the palace, so she knew the princess. ”
"Besides, no matter how your subordinates say it, they are also harem guards, if you can't even tell the difference between a few princesses and mothers, how can you carry out the duties of a guard. ”
There was no flaw in his words, which made Lang Yue stunned for a while.
Lang Yue looked at him in a daze, and didn't know how to respond for a while.
After a while, the commander of the guards said, "If Her Royal Highness the princess is fine, the subordinates will retire first." ”
With that, he made a gesture to leave.
Lang Yue was willing to give up, and hurriedly shouted: "You stop!"
The commander of the guards, Yi Yan, stopped again, turned around and asked, "Is there anything else Your Highness is going on?"
Lang Yue asked directly, "Who were you talking to just now?"
The guard commander was shocked, but his face did not change at all, and he smiled and said, "Of course, my subordinates are talking to Your Highness." ”
Lang Yue said: "What I asked was where was the rockery before?"
A gleam flashed in the eyes of the commander of the guards, but he pretended to be stupid and said: "Your Highness's words are not understood, your subordinates have only met His Highness here, where did they come from?"
Lang Yue sneered in her heart, but she didn't speak.
The commander of the guards waited for a while, and then offered to retreat again, but Lang Yue nodded and did not stop again.
But just as the guard commander was about to walk out of the garden, Lang Yue's voice came from behind him again: "The brothers of the cold palace have all been taken care of by me, and they will keep it so that those Central Plains people can't find out anything." ”
Hearing the words repeated by Lang Yue, the guard commander's heart was suddenly shocked.
But he didn't stop, but chose to leave as if nothing had happened.
Lang Yue looked at his departing back, and her pretty face gradually became gloomy.
She was almost certain that this person was absolutely inseparable from the fire in the cold palace, as well as the disappearance of the mother concubine and the eighth emperor sister.
Although it is not yet known what role he played in this chain of events.
But he must know something, for sure.
If he can open his mouth to say this information, maybe he will be able to know the whereabouts of the mother concubine and the eighth emperor sister.
However, it can also be seen from the temptation just now that this person is extremely cunning, and it is not easy to get him to speak.
"Looks like we're going to have to do something else. Lang Yue sighed and slowly left the garden.
But not long after she left the garden, the commander of the guards, who had left before her, slowly walked out of the books beside her.
Looking at Lang Yue's departing back, an indescribable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth......
......
......
The night sinks like water.
The moon is dark.
On the roof of the Nine Princesses' bedroom, there was a slight sound of breaking wind.
A pitch-black phantom disappeared silently.
Soon, she was on the roof of a temple in the inner garden of the palace.
Here, it is Lichen Palace.
It is the mother of the second prince and the dormitory where Concubine Li lives.
It was midnight, and the lord of the palace had already fallen asleep, only the palace guards at the door still held on to their posts dutifully, not daring to relax in the slightest.
And, among these guards, there is a face that makes Lang Yue's face familiar.
This person is the commander of the guards during the day.
After the cold palace burned down, he became the commander of the guards here.
At this moment, he was standing near the entrance of the dormitory, monitoring all movements.
Night patrol squads routinely pass by.
Just as they were gone, there was a strange noise, which alarmed all the guards at the door.
It's like throwing a pebble on a calm lake.
One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
Everyone looked at each other to make sure their ears had heard correctly.
The commander of the guards looked at the crowd, knowing what they were thinking, and his expression moved slightly, signaling everyone to be calm and not to be impatient.
Seeing this, the figure on the roof smiled to himself.
The strange sound was originally the sound she made by using the stones on the roof to fall to the ground, and at this moment, seeing that the attention of all the guards was attracted, she threw another stone down, causing a sound.
Seeing this, the guards raised their hands to signal everyone not to act rashly, but they walked alone not far away.
Lang Yue on the roof of Lichen Palace was secretly happy in his heart.
The reason why she threw stones to make a noise was so that she could use this movement to distract a few guards, so that she could take advantage of the opportunity to deal with the target.
However, she never thought that she could lead the target away.
Now that she saw the target alone and far away, she was naturally very happy in her heart, and her body moved slightly and disappeared.
After walking a short distance, the commander of the guards came to a flowerbed and bushes that were uninhabited. Just as he was about to investigate carefully, he saw a figure appearing behind him silently.
"What......" Before he could fully spit out a word, several big holes on his body had already been restrained, making him unable to move.
There was even a hand that directly covered his mouth.
The commander of the guards was shocked.
can let him be directly restrained without reacting, and the other party is undoubtedly a master.
If such a master wants to take his own life, it is definitely easy. But at this moment, since he is still alive, it means that the other party's goal is not his own life.
In other words, oneself is not in danger of life.
Thinking of this, he suddenly calmed down.
Seeing him like this, Lang Yue deliberately asked in a deep voice through the masked towel, "You are very calm, why?"
The commander of the guards smiled in his eyes, and motioned with his eyes for her to let go of the hand covering her mouth, and then spoke, "Because I know that you will not kill me." ”
Lang Yue said in a low voice, "Why do you think so?"
The guard commander said: "With Your Excellency's skills, if you really want to kill me, then I should have died just now, but since I am still standing here, it means that Your Excellency does not want to kill me." ”
Lang Yue smiled: "You, very smart. But I wonder if you're smart, if you're using it in the right place?"
The commander of the guards was puzzled, "What do you mean by that?"
Lang Yue said with a smile: "People say that those who know the times are handsome, and smart people should also be those who know the times, but I don't know, are you smart enough?"
The commander of the guards couldn't hear the words of the strings, and couldn't help laughing: "It seems that Your Excellency should have something to ask for." ”
Lang Yue sneered: "Things, there are indeed things, but it's not begging, it's ...... Forced. ”
The word cold, containing a sense of murderous intent, fell into the ears of the commander of the guards, making him involuntarily fight a cold war in his heart.
"What if...... You can't tell me the answer I want, then I'...... You don't have to be left with your life anymore. ”
Hearing this, the commander of the guards suddenly felt a piercing chill and rushed to his head.
But instead of showing a look of horror, he smiled.
In the face of this threat in front of him, ordinary people are afraid that they have already been frightened, but he can still laugh.
This made Lang Yue feel a little suspicious.
However, she did not doubt the possibility that the other party already knew his identity.
Because, before she acted, she deliberately wore the night clothes and masked scarf of the Central Plains, and spoke in a disguised voice, it was impossible for him to discover his true identity.
But why is he laughing?
Lang Yue can't figure it out, she never wastes her energy on things she can't figure out, especially this kind of question that can be easily answered.
"What are you laughing at?"
The Commander of the Guards didn't answer, still smiling on his face.
"Could it be...... You think I can't kill you?"
Lang Yue's eyes were cold.
"With Your Excellency's skill, it will be easy to kill me, I have already said this. ”
"In that case, aren't you afraid?"
"I also said that you would not kill me. Even if I don't say anything, you still won't kill me. The Captain of the Guards laughed.
Lang Yue's expression was as cold as ice, and she looked at him and said, "In this way, you have made up your mind that you won't say anything, right?"
The commander of the guards smiled, "Your Excellency is indeed a smart man. ”
Hearing this, Lang Yue's face did not show an annoyed and angry reaction, but sighed slightly.
Expected answer. Although, your composure is beyond my expectations. But do you really think that if you don't say anything yourself, I won't be able to get you to speak?"
"You can try. The Captain of the Guards spoke firmly.
Lang Yue smiled in a low voice: "Try, of course I will, but before that, what I want to tell you is that my method is not to extract a confession by torture, after all, in this kind of place, it is very unfavorable for me to do this." ”
"Your Excellency is clear. The commander of the guards smiled, and it was precisely because he understood this that he was so emboldened.
But Lang Yue suddenly asked a question that he couldn't have thought of at this time.
"Tell me, who did the fire in the cold palace?"
"Hmph...... Your Excellency Thought I ......"
Before he finished speaking, the commander of the guards felt a sudden flower in front of him, which turned out to be a Qianqian jade finger, pointing to the center of his eyebrows.
At the same time, he saw the person in front of him, his body glowed with strange fluctuations, and the next moment, he was shocked to see that behind him, nine furry tails appeared.
This is the same as the fox clan that was wiped out many years ago, when they used their family martial arts, they showed the same.
The commander of the guards froze.
At this moment, the nine-tailed phantom Langyue appeared, and his bright eyes suddenly flashed with a pale pink mystical glow.
At the same time, the eyes of the guard commander also had the same light in a flash.
