CHAPTER XXXI

After leaving the Taihe Hall after drinking, Tianxiao was a little lightheaded, and walked forward with drunken steps in the night, swaying left and right. Suddenly, two black-clothed men burst out of the flower bed, both masked, and the sharp knives in their hands stabbed towards the sky. Although Tianxiao drank too much, he was not drunk, but his dizzy head made him react a little slower, and when he saw an assassin attacking and was about to dodge, he suddenly felt a pain in his left arm, and shouted first: "There is an assassin." He took out the Xuanleng sword in his elegant steps, and pulled out the sword to make a move with someone. These two assassins are also good hands, but they didn't expect the little prince to be so agile after drinking, although he was seriously injured, he was not panicked, and he took out his sword to kill in the scream, and he knew that it was not good, and when he was about to retreat, he saw lanterns gathered everywhere, and he knew that he couldn't get out, but he was afraid that he would be affected by his master after being captured, and he committed suicide by gritting his teeth with a huge poison.

Before everyone gathered, Tian Xiao had already put the sword into his arms and covered his injured left arm with his hand. Azaguri, who felt it first, saw that the little prince's hanging left arm was dripping blood, and there were two masked men in black lying at his feet, and he knew what was happening. At this time, everyone had already gathered, some to see the little prince's injury, some to see the masked man in black, and Azaguri shouted: "Quickly pass on the imperial doctor." "Pick up the little prince and run.

The palace was so big, and the news that the little prince had been assassinated and seriously injured spread that night. When Concubine Mo got the news, she almost went crazy, crying and shouting to see Xiao'er, how could the palace maid persuade her. At this moment, there was a "The emperor has arrived", Mu Zong came, and the palace maid hurriedly knelt down to greet him. "Let's all go down. Cheng Hong waved his hand at the palace maid and said, the palace maid got up and withdrew, Mu Zong persuaded Mo Guifei to enter the room, let her go to bed and cover the quilt, sat down on the edge of the bed, and said: "Ai Fei, Xiao'er is fine, her left arm was stabbed, and the imperial doctor has used medicine to bandage the wound, it is no big problem, you can be relieved." Concubine Mo was very sad, wiped her tears and said: "Our mother and son provoked someone, and they actually poisoned a child." Your Majesty, if you don't cut the mastermind behind this scene with a thousand knives, you will let the concubines go out of the palace. To die, our mother and son died together. Mu Zong nodded hatefully and said: "Assassinating the widow emperor, this crime will destroy the nine clans, and the widow will definitely not be spared." The widow has ordered to investigate the matter, and sent Yang Biao to arrest the families of the two assassins, and sooner or later there will be results. It's just that Xiao'er refuses to stay in the palace anymore, "I said that I would take Azaguri, Yang Biao, the iron-headed monk, Dexi, Ruyi, and Jixiang back to Jiangnan, and the widow has also been gracious." ”

Since arriving in the palace, Tianxiao has been served by the little eunuch Dexi, the maidservant Ruyi, and the auspicious servants, and the care is very meticulous. He has been accustomed to being served by this servant, and if he is reborn, he is afraid that he will not be able to eat well and sleep restlessly. "I want you all and go back to Jiangnan with me, my father has given permission, am I happy. When they heard this, the servants hurriedly knelt on the ground and said in unison, "Thank you, master." Ruyi said very happily. "Master, in this way, the slave and maid don't have to go back to the palace in the future. Seeing the master nodding and smiling, these people were even more happy, hugging together and crying and laughing, thinking that they would be able to go to the land of fish and rice with the new master in the near future, and then leave the big iron cage of the palace, and then kneel and kowtow to thank him. After rejoicing for a while, Ruyi, Jixiang thought that it was time to take a nap. Dexi took this opportunity to sneak out, found the maidservants who served the prince and Danying respectively, and told the little prince that he was leaving the palace and returning to Jiangnan.

Dan Ying was a little stunned when she heard the words of the slave maid, and thought: "When will we see each other when he leaves?" The little temper came up, and she threw things in the middle of crying, how could a group of slaves and maids persuade her, and shouted loudly to attract the princess's nurse. "Little Ancestor, who provoked you. No matter how your nurse asked, Dan Ying just didn't stop, until she was asked in a hurry, and then said angrily: "He's leaving." When the nurse heard this, she understood that this "he" must be the little prince Tianxiao, so she said: "He left him, what is the trouble of your little ancestor." Unexpectedly, Danying said: "The prince said, when he sits in the country, he will let Xiao'er marry me." If Xiao'er is gone, who will I marry? "Who wants Yijun's joke that day, but Dan Ying will take it so seriously, listening to the nurse and a group of slaves and maids laughing, they all think that the county lord is very funny, thinking that this young age can tell such a big joke, naturally no one will take it seriously.

Seeing that the nurse no longer paid attention to herself, Dan Ying changed her tricks, first cut off eating and drinking, and then fell asleep, so she made trouble for three days in a row and played a group of slaves and maids to the point that they were exhausted, and they wanted to sleep but didn't dare to sleep. On the evening of the third day, this little Danying didn't make trouble, and the nurse thought that she was tired and didn't think much about it, but just ordered a group of maids to serve the county lord well, as long as it passed tonight, as soon as the sky roared away tomorrow morning, then there would be no more trouble. I don't want Danying to know how to delay the army, and I was so excited to see that I had deceived the nurse, so I went to bed early this night. The maidservant finished cleaning up the house as before, and left a maid to wait in Danying's room on the second watch, and the rest went to sleep. The maid was still a little energetic at first, but because she was tossed by the county lord for three whole days, she couldn't hold it anymore on the third watch, so she fell asleep on the table. When Danying woke up on the fourth watch, she saw the slave and maid lying on the table under the lamp and fell asleep, so she hurriedly got up and got out of bed to the door, opened the door softly and went out sideways, flashed behind the trees in the garden, and saw that no one found it, so she disappeared into the night.

Yijun was very reluctant to learn that the emperor's brother was leaving, but he was helpless, but he didn't want to study anymore. Zhang Juzheng was careful, and he didn't point through the prince's thoughts, until the morning when the little prince was leaving, he brought Yijun to the gate of the Forbidden City and said: "The little prince will be there soon." "Went about my business. After a while, Yijun saw Dexi walking in front with joy on his face, auspicious, Ruyi and the two led the imperial brother behind, Zhao Hu, Wang Bao, Cheng Hong, Zhong Lei, Azaguri, and the iron-headed monk were behind, and they hurriedly went up and hugged the imperial brother. "Don't you cry, Brother Huang. Although Tianxiao also shed tears, he couldn't hold back and didn't cry. After Yijun wept for a while, he stuffed the emerald in his hand into the emperor's hand. "You can't help but go. As soon as these words came out, I found that my mother suddenly flashed out from behind a few cedar trees, and I was so surprised, I was afraid that my mother would come and say that I was annoyed by the emperor's brother, so I hurriedly said: "Don't forget the agreement that we will sit together." Then he ran towards his mother, and took her away. But Li Guifei still turned around and glared at Tianxiao angrily.

Dexi led the sedan chair out of the Forbidden City and waited at the door, and when he saw the master coming, he wanted to carry him into the sedan chair. "You minion, what's the hurry? Tian Xiao was very annoyed, stretched out his hand and pushed Dexi, and sat on the threshold of the Forbidden City, staring straight ahead without blinking. Wang Bao understood that it must have been because the young master didn't see the county lord Danying and refused to leave, so he waved his hand at Jixiang and Ruyi, and asked them to wait by the car, so as not to provoke this little master.

Looking left and right didn't wait for Danying to appear, Tianxiao was very disappointed, and finally couldn't help but cry. "Stinky Danying, bad Danying, I won't come to deliver it when I leave, and I won't pay attention to you anymore. He wasn't as complicated as Dan Ying thought, as a playmate in the palace, he felt that Dan Ying should come to see him off. "Let's go, this bad Danying won't come. After saying a word to himself, he got up and stomped his feet, and then turned around and left the Forbidden City, but he still looked back at the deep palace with nostalgia, and was hugged into the sedan chair by Ruyi. But he refused to enter the sedan chair, as if he was still waiting for Dan Ying's sudden appearance. The 19th gathering of talents and talents in Tianbo Mansion is prosperous

With a knife and a gun, Feng Li, who was eight feet tall, led four big horses to wait at the street opposite the imperial city, and when he saw Wang Leopard walking, he led the horse to meet him and asked, "Is it Lord Wang?" Seeing Wang Bao nodding, he said again: "The little one's name is Feng Li, he is the general of the right battalion of Datong Mansion, and he rushed here after receiving the holy decree." Hearing that it was Feng Li, Wang Bao hurriedly shook his hand affectionately and said, "General Feng, thank you for your hard work." Then Zhao Hu, Zhong Lei, Azaguri, and the iron-headed monk were introduced. The six of them said a few words, and asked how many soldiers and horses had come and where they were now, Feng Li hurriedly said: "Back to the big man, the small one will bring three guerrilla generals, two partial generals, five hundred horse troops, two hundred archers, and one thousand four hundred infantry troops. "Hearing that there are so many soldiers, Zhong Lei and the five of them are happy. Feng Li then reported: "In order to hide people's eyes, the small one has divided these soldiers and horses into two teams, one team is led by the general Sun Litang, and the partial general Fang Shichuan with a hundred horse troops, fifty archers, and three hundred infantry troops to Tianjin Wei to stand by. The rest rushed to Pukou City to report to Lord Thunder Dragon. Wang Bao nodded and smiled, "Good job." So he led him to the young master. "General Feng, this is the little prince Zhu Xiaotian, your future young master. Feng Li hurriedly knelt on the ground and bowed to the young master three times, and said, "Little Feng Li, I have seen the lord." Chitose, Chitose, Chitose. Tian Xiao had learned a lot from the prince the majesty of dealing with ministers and minions, and when he waved his right arm and waved his hand, he said, "Get up." He ignored Feng Li and continued to talk to the slave. "Auspicious, wishful, it's cold outside, I'm afraid that the young master's wound can't stand it, so quickly hug the young master into the sedan chair. After the leopard barked, he said, "There are only four horses, what should I do?" I have a good relationship with the iron-headed monk, and I can catch up with you. Then he beckoned the four men to mount their horses. Feng Li led the way in front, Zhao Hu and Wang Bao were escorted by the sedan chair, and Zhong Lei, Azaguri, and the iron-headed monk were escorted, and slowly galloped towards the outside of the capital.

Dexi got into the car and whipped the horse, auspicious, Ruyi coaxed the master into the sedan chair and closed the sedan door. Suddenly, they found that there was a little girl sitting in the sedan chair, but at a closer look, it was the county lord Danying, who was smiling at Tianxiao with big eyes. Frightened and auspicious, Ruyi just wanted to scream, but let Tian Xiao's little hand gag his mouth. "Whoever speaks, send him back to the palace. This trick really worked, and it was so frightened that I didn't dare to say anything.

"Dexi. Hearing the young master's call, Dexi hurriedly responded: "The slave is here." Tianxiao asked, "Do you want to go back to the palace?" Dexi said: "The slave is the slave of the young master." If the young master returns, the slave also returns. Tianxiao said: "The lord of Danying is in the sedan chair, and you are not allowed to talk outside." Dexi laughed and responded: "The slave doesn't say it." Tianxiao was relieved, hugged Dan Ying and asked excitedly: "Why are you in my sedan chair?" Dan Ying smiled evilly, leaned on Tianxiao casually and said proudly: "Listen to the slave maid, you want to go back to Jiangnan, I wanted to send you here, but the nurse didn't let me, and I ran out of anger so I stole out." Listening to the doorkeeper, this is the little prince's sedan chair, so I hid. Don't send me back, Xiao'er, or I'll ignore you. Tianxiao nodded and said, "I'm stupid." I'm not going to send you back. After that, the two of them talked happily, but they didn't know what would happen if a county lord was lost in the palace.
