2.50 This time we are sure of victory
"I don't understand what His Highness means." Although Zhou Yang was startled, he was not stupid enough to admit it, "But what rumors did Your Highness hear?"

"Oh, really?" The voice even had a coldness to it, but there was nothing more to say.

"Mr. Zhou, this time, although the eldest prince came to hunt, it was originally a secret, so she chose an ordinary carriage." Dongfang Bing took over the conversation calmly, "But what I didn't expect was that the draft horse pulling the carriage She was given hallucinogenic poison, but luckily the dose was not accurate, and the horse went berserk in the mansion before leaving, which saved the princess from disaster.

In order to figure out the problem, the princess ordered a thorough investigation. However, after the discovery of the body of the groom of the Guo Mansion and the death of the groom's family, the clues were completely cut off. This delayed the time. She arrived nearly an hour late, but in order to lure the snake out of the hole, Her Royal Highness the Princess persuaded the eldest prince. Pretend that nothing is wrong and still act as planned. "

"Dongfang Qianhu might as well explain it more clearly!" Zhou Yang frowned, "The attack on Her Highness the Princess instead of the First Prince should be to take advantage of the opportunity of the Princess' accident to suppress the First Prince, according to the inference that 'the ultimate gain is the biggest suspicion' According to the rules, there is no need to say more about the suspect who is most likely to attack, Wei Chen, but this is not enough."

"The ultimate gain is the biggest suspicion." Princess Yongchang interrupted him calmly, "If you can reach out to my palace, you can't have only one groom; but I only have these guards in my hands. If you replace them all at once Well, the so-called 'ambush' plan is naturally just a joke.

Therefore, before setting off, I ordered the guards to supervise and give sedatives to all the servants and maids in the house. Then Kai'er arranged for people to take care of the house. He only brought these guards out just to see who the unknown person was. Damn it, you dare to put your claws on my head. "

"So, His Highness just sent out the last dozen guards on purpose?" Zhou Yang looked at Dongfang Bing and said worriedly, "He also deliberately put himself in danger. He must have suspected that there were enemy personnel among these guards. Just deliberately ask him to report the news quickly so as to lure out the ambush, right?"

"Speaking of which, I learned this from you, to alert the snake." Princess Yongchang's voice was filled with murderous intent. "Since Kai'er and I were nearly an hour late, the person behind the scenes must have already had suspicions. Add to that The traitor who reported the news was forcing him to give it a try in order to survive.

Being able to place people in my palace and arrange the ending in advance, the price paid is definitely enough to make anyone feel distressed. If it starts but ends in an anticlimactic manner, it will be too much. Since the chess pieces have been used, there is no way to take them back. Logically speaking, the best choice is to let them maximize their value. What's more, if I want to follow the clues and thoroughly investigate, it is not a difficult problem. "

"I'm afraid." Zhou Yang shook his head and said with a wry smile, "It will be difficult to obtain anything valuable."

"Of course the princess has realized this." Dongfang Bing took a deep look at him and said, "But just as if something happens to the princess, no matter what the reason is, the eldest prince can make a mark. As long as someone takes action this time and the princess is fine, It can guarantee that the First Prince will add one point, which is completely enough; as for the person behind the scenes, it actually doesn’t matter, because there are many things that do not require evidence.”

"Do you have a free heart?" Zhou Yang breathed a sigh of relief, "Then, now should be the best time to start. Our hunting has been going on for almost half an hour. At this time, the sun has already turned to the west, and hunting usually does not take two days. For an hour, just like this, the only people the princess can rely on are me and Dongfang Guards, which may be a little..."

"Didn't I ask at the beginning, but did you interrupt Mr. Zhou's opportunity to show his strength?" Princess Yongchang's voice was even more indifferent, "This is your chance. If nothing happens to me, no matter whether you can get fame in the next spring , Kaier will never let you be busy in vain; if there is any accident in this palace, you are ready to take your little beauty together and be a ghost couple, is it clear enough?"

"It's completely clear." Zhou Yang felt extremely aggrieved, but knew that it was useless to say anything at this time. "The last question is, it is impossible for the eldest prince to let the princess take such a big risk. How did the princess convince him?"

"When the princess came, she told the eldest prince that the guards just now were absolutely reliable, enough to support the reinforcements." Dongfang Bing said lightly, "It was Chu Baihu who spoke just now, and the absolute confidant that the eldest prince specially transferred was just in case. one."

"So, Chu Baihu saw the princess's plan." He breathed a sigh of relief, remembering the way the guard kowtowed three times before leaving. Zhou Yang knew that he had no choice, either success or failure, there would be no more Other results, "I need arrows, lots of arrows."

"That's good." The car door slammed softly, and Princess Yongchang jumped out of the carriage in a full outfit, pulled out the saber from Dongfang Bing's waist, and cut off half of the neck of the coachman with a face as pale as paper, letting the blood spray on the pale yellow On the fine clothes, "I know that you have excellent archery skills, and there are a hundred sharp arrows in the car; I also know your strength, so it must be fine, right?"

"Besides the groom, the most suitable arrangement for attacking the princess's carriage is the coachman, so no matter what, he can't stay." Zhou Yang glanced at the body lying on the ground, "Logically speaking, this kind of action can only Elite men will be arranged to ambush and raid, so the number will not be too large. One or two of the princess's guards are extremely evil. After the others discover the problem, they will definitely come back to protect them at any cost. In this way, a small number of elite killers and Even if His Highness's bodyguards are to fight against each other, it will take a long time to win. As long as a signal is sent here, His Highness the Prince's men will be able to rush over in half a stick of incense at the latest. This ensures that such a desperate move is meaningless. The enemy is not Fool, you can’t waste chess pieces at will, unless——”

"They are confident enough to kill the princess with one blow after involving other guards, such as me." Seeing Zhou Yang's terrifying eyes after turning his head, Dongfang Bing did not feel insulted at all, "They are indeed looking for It started last month, but I reported everything to the princess and never hid anything, I was just ordered to lurk."

"What are the conditions?" Zhou Yang frowned and asked.

"If there is an opportunity in the future, no matter what the reason, I guarantee that the position of Marquis Weiyuan will fall on anyone I designate." Dongfang Bing's answer also made Zhou Yang understand that the other party had truly "hit the snake seven inches", and even The real person behind the scenes was not concealed, and he couldn't help turning his head to look at Princess Yongchang with a complicated look on his face.

This princess, who has had many relationships, does not have any actual appearance in the original work. She only appears once as a "background", that is, in the second half of Jia Mu's birthday, her husband " "Yongchang Prince Consort" received the only writing.

The problem is that the Jia Mansion was almost in decline at that time. There were very few royal relatives who appeared at this birthday. Prince Beijing later showed up when the Jia Mansion was ransacked and was in good condition. The lineage of Nan'an County Prince was later tricked. Tanchun went to get married, and the prince-in-law was "talking and laughing" with him. Combined with the fact that the princess still has a girly bun that represents Yunying's unmarried status, she must not be married yet. It is really scary to think about it.

If there is no surprise, Princess Yongchang also used this method in the original work. However, because she did not have a "spare tire" of her own, Dongfang Bing probably rebelled, so that the operation failed and the princess was seriously injured, but it should not be Death, otherwise there would be no "Yongchang Prince Consort".

Considering that she firmly supported the eldest prince, her consort betrayed the Wu Xun lineage when he finally appeared. It was obvious that there was only a name between the two. If they could seriously harm a princess without losing her life, the most cruel thing would be The method should be for men and women, such as "mandatory multi-person sports"; once the prince-in-law learns of the situation, considering the atmosphere of feudal society, he will never be of the same mind as the princess anyway.

The hallucinogen used on the draft horses before departure should also have an effect on people, especially if the princess is traveling in the car for the entire journey. The cost is definitely high enough; and there is another benefit to doing this, because it is related to the face of the entire royal family. , he could only break his teeth and swallow it, which just happened to ensure that Dongfang Bing would not be held accountable immediately afterwards. Under the protection of the other party, it would be difficult for the eldest prince's side to have another chance to attack.

Another point is that the ending of "Red Mansion" is the complete defeat of the entire Wu Xun lineage, or the failure of the eldest prince who represented the interests of the generals - this is the real reason for the decline of the Jia family. They did not make mistakes in the struggle between the emperor and the emperor. , but made a mistake in the battle for the crown prince!

"They're taking action." Just as they were thinking about it, Princess Yongchang's faint business voice sounded, but there was a long sound of "咻——" in mid-air, and a cannon was emitted from inside the valley, but pointed diagonally in the direction of Princess Yongchang. It was obvious that It was to indicate the direction to the ambushing men, "I will leave my life to you two, and your future will be decided today."

"Princess, please get in the carriage. The walls of this carriage are enough to stop most of the strong bows and crossbows that are farther away." Dongfang bowed coldly, and then asked Zhou Yang to unload the arrows loaded on the carriage, "Anyone belonging to If you take a breath, no one will hurt the princess at all."

After half a stick of incense, after a period of depressing waiting, through the tall grass in front of him, he faintly saw a small group of knights roaring towards them, the leader was Chu Baihu just mentioned, which made Dongfang Bing heave a sigh of relief.

"That's wrong!" The strict scout training made Zhou Yang realize the problem immediately, "Chu Baihu, when you led the people to disperse for investigation just now, how did you arrange the manpower?"

"Group two, respectively -"

"Where was the direction of the cannon just arranged? No need to look for it!" Zhou Yang was just halfway through talking when he saw Dongfang Bing shoot a guard with his bow because he suddenly put his hand into his arms and was shot off his horse by Dongfang Bing. At the same time, another cannon fell to the ground.

"It seems that this time we have the chance to win." Princess Yongchang's cold voice came from the carriage, "Young Master Zhou, thank you for your reaction."
