Chapter 127

It was cold and rainy, and beside the rushing river, the housekeeper urged the servants to throw the sacks into the river.


Xue Yi only felt being lifted up, but she didn't take a few steps, and suddenly fell heavily to the ground, as if the two house slaves had let go, and rushed over with the sound of hooves, she heard Abi and Mingxiang calling her voice, but she was powerless to answer.


Feng Quan looked at Abi, and saw that the people behind him were also chasing after him, and this side was busy kicking the two house slaves who rolled to the ground. Both house slaves were stabbed by Abi's hidden weapon, and one injured his shoulder. One injured his back, got up after being kicked and kicked by the housekeeper, and went to carry the sack again.


Abi and Mingxiang were on the same horse, and the pursuers rushed up, Abi used a concealed weapon in one hand, and pulled out a scimitar in the other, Mingxiang shouted in fright, her face had already turned pale.


It was really hard for Abi to deal with five people by herself. In the torrential rain, the rushing river made a huge turbulent sound. Seeing that the snow clothes were about to be thrown into the river, Abi slapped the horse's butt with the handle of the scimitar. The volley shot out, forcing the five people to take a step back, while she reined in the horse and shouted at Mingxiang:

"Mingxiang, hold me tight, don't let go!"


I saw the horse leaping into the air with a neighing sound and leaping towards the river. Abi Mingxiang and the horse fell together. At the moment when the snow clothes were washed away by the river, Abi happened to be able to hold on to the sack in time. Rushing forward, the three of them, together with the horse that fell into the river, were instantly swallowed up without a trace.

On the river bank, a few figures stood in the rain.


"Housekeeper, this?"


The servants of the family looked at the muddy river. If they fell, they probably would not survive.


Steward Feng slowly stared at the river for a long while, "The water is fierce, they will surely die, go back home."

And this night.


It was the time when Shangguan Chonglian led his army out of camp.


With the sound of horns in the camp, he was dressed in silver armor, wearing the blood of Nine Dragons on his waist, wearing deerskin boots, with long hair like black ink, with a bewitching and cold charm between his brows, and bewildered peach blossom eyes. A sweep, but it is the cold and domineering that frightens the three armies.


Putting on a military uniform, the once frivolous boy is now a natural heroic general on horseback.


The cold rain cannot stop the enthusiasm of the soldiers.


On the war horse, he took out the golden knife and dagger that once belonged to Xue Yi, it was only the size of his palm, lying in the palm of his hand as if it still held her warmth, and glanced in the direction of Prince Jing's Mansion, the hazy night sky seemed to collapse and collapse. Down.


His eyes gradually narrowed, and he stared at the dagger again.


After going to the battlefield, when Rong Sheng returns and avenges his father and mother, he is qualified to take her from the hands of the emperor's uncle, and then he is able to protect her from misfortune in her life.


In the cold rain, Long Qingtian and Shangguan Fenglan stood together and watched the army from a distance, watching Shangguan Chonglian direct the camp.


"My lord, you let the young prince take away the most elite soldiers, I hope the young prince can understand your heart. It's just..."


Long Qingtian looked in the direction of the Imperial Palace with some worry.


Shangguan Fenglan naturally knew what was worrying in his heart, and said in a low voice:


"The frontier fortress is dangerous, and the situation cannot be neglected. The elite cavalry I gave to Chonglian are all good at fighting on the battlefield. The lack of [-] troops will indeed lose our vitality, but it is not impossible to remedy it."


Long Qingtian stared at Shangguan Fenglan:


"What does Master mean?"


"Borrow soldiers, borrow other people's soldiers for your own use."


"Whose soldiers do you think I can borrow?"


Long Qingtian listened attentively.


Under the golden face, there was a faint flash of elite light, and the raindrops slid down the cold mask. Shangguan Fenglan said slowly:


"Among the several princes, except for those who guard the fief, there are only three who have heavy troops in the imperial capital."


Long Qingtian said next:

"The Fourth Prince, the Fifth Prince, and the Seventh Prince, these three princes have heavy troops that can be transferred to the Imperial Capital at any time!"


After finishing speaking, he raised his eyebrows and said:

"You mean to borrow the soldiers of the Seventh Prince?"


Hearing the words "Seventh Prince", a piercing chill flashed across the eyes under the golden face.


"How to borrow?"


Long Qingtian asked.


Shangguan Fenglan slowly took out a volume of secret letter from his arms and handed it to Long Qingtian:

"This secret letter will tell you what to do."


While the two were talking, a fast horse rode in front of them in an instant. The man on the horse was wearing a large black robe, and the brim of the hat almost covered his face, so he couldn't see his face clearly in the heavy rain.


But Long Qingtian recognized Nangong Mingye from his figure.


Suspicious in his heart, Nangong Mingye walked up to the two of them and said:

"This trip to Bei Cang was not in vain."


When Long Qingtian heard this, he was slightly surprised and looked at Shangguan Fenglan.


When did the prince let Nangong go to Bei Cang?


why?

"How's the investigation going?"


Nangong Mingye took out a volume of secret letters from his arms and handed it to Shangguan Fenglan.

The rain became more and more intense, and the cold rain in March rushed in through the window opening with a cold breath.


Shangguan Fenglan was standing under the pear tree in the courtyard of Dongnuan Pavilion. There were pink and white petals falling from the tree, like snow, exuding a clear fragrance.


Leaning on crutches, he looked at a dark wing.


But she is asleep?

Still in a dream.


Three years ago, her resolute words, that glass of poisoned wine, and that fire completely turned him into a masked man who could not see the light of day, and burned all his self-esteem and pride to nothing. Let everyone regard him as a tyrannical devil, but who knows the pain he has endured for three years.


The poison remained in the body all the time, and it could only be maintained by the antidote and blood. The heart-piercing pain caused by the poison countless times made him hate her to the bone!


The broken leg made him hate it even more!

Gaining the trust of the emperor's brother, leading the army, attacking Bei Cang, using Naraniya to force her beloved Chu Zhouyue to marry her second sister, and forcing his father to issue an edict to marry her!


As he walked step by step, what he left behind was deeper and deeper confusion.


Holding the mask tightly in his hand, he set his eyes on the window pane of her wing, and recalled the conversation with Nangong Mingye in the secret room just now:

".I've checked, and the gold-plated dragon and phoenix bracelet is not on Chu Zhouyue's body, and the night you invited her to the Mu Drum Tower, I checked the maids of the Princess Palace, because that day was the Sanchun Flower God Festival, and there was a The palace lady remembered very clearly that at around [-]:[-] pm, she bumped into the fifth princess who had sneaked out of the palace on the south wall. The maid only said that the fifth princess was really different that night."


The gold-plated dragon and phoenix bracelet is not on her body, nor is it on Chu Zhouyue's body, so where is it?

He had just left the palace at the second quarter of Xu time, but when he arrived at the Mu Drum Tower, she had already prepared food and wine and was waiting there, and it happened to be the second quarter of Xu time!

How is this possible? !

I continued to think about Nangong Mingye's words in my mind:


".In addition to these, I also accidentally found two pieces of information."


he asks:


"What's the news?"

Nangong Mingye said:

"In order to confirm whether the lady's words are true, I searched along the route from the imperial palace to the Mu Drum Tower. Guess what I found?"


He looked at Nangong Mingye suspiciously, and Nangong Mingye evoked a secretive smile:

"King Duan!"


"Fourth? He was in Beicang at the time?"


".Although we couldn't find out why he appeared in Beicang, but on the night of the incident, he was assassinated in Beicang and almost died. After being rescued, the person who rescued him most likely went to Mu Meet your fifth princess in Gulou, because according to a hunter, he was hunting late at the time, and ran into a pockmarked and ugly girl dragging a young man who was seriously injured. The hunter was afraid of getting into trouble. , refused the girl's request, and only helped the girl carry the man to a ruined temple and left in a hurry."


"But on the third day later, the Orion couldn't help but went to the ruined temple to check it out. When he saw the seriously ill man coming out, he grabbed him and asked where the woman was. Later, the Orion found out that the woman guarded the temple. After spending three days and three nights with the man, he gave the man a set of clothes and dry biscuits, and the man gave the Orion a jade pendant, and the Orion kept the jade pendant and did not dare to sell it because he was afraid of causing vendettas. I've seen it, checked it, and it's the king's thing."


"Furthermore, the Orion said that not only did he see that the man was covered in knife wounds on the night of the incident, but he was also poisoned by the golden-spotted snake. Orion was shocked that he could survive for such a long time with the golden-spotted snake venom on his body."


"And the girl said she knew medical skills, and she wanted to find a place to detoxify the man immediately, so Orion helped the girl send the man to the ruined temple."


Golden spot snake venom.


He looked at Nangong Mingye, the two looked at each other, and said:

"If I remember correctly, the last time the paddock was hunting, the poison poisoned by King Duan was later said by the imperial physician to be golden-spotted snake poison?"


Nangong Mingye nodded:

"The golden-spotted snake only appeared in Beicang, but it came to the paddock inexplicably. With King Duan's temperament, he would definitely track it down to the end, but the strange thing is that he not only didn't track it down, but even hid it in secret. It can be seen that the snake came so quickly Strange."
