Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 865 What a trick to kill with a knife

It has been three days since they left Jiangnan, Xiao Xu and his party traveled day and night, heading north without stopping.

At sunset, everyone stopped to rest.

Huo Ling untied the iron ring on the pigeon's leg, took off the letter on it and handed it to his master.

Xiao Xu put down the kettle in his hand, unfolded it and glanced roughly, his gaze sank a little.

For the past few days, they have been continuously receiving letters about the front line along the way. Nan Cang has sent his army south, Xiao Ran was assassinated in the last battle, and his whereabouts are unknown now. The army has no leader, and is now waiting a hundred miles away.

Huo Ling took the letter, and after quickly skimming through it, he said in astonishment, "Master, the fourth prince is not here, and the morale of the army is fluctuating. You haven't taken over yet, so there may be accidents."

"Be sure to arrive as soon as possible, and don't let someone with a heart take advantage of the opportunity." Xiao Xu's expression was not very good.

He didn't expect that Xiao Ran would disappear. If he fell into the enemy's hands, he might be even more involved in the war. If he was unlucky——

Xiao Xu squinted his eyes, then it might be difficult for the capital to explain, maybe there will be another bloody storm.

"Does the capital know about this news?" Xiao Xu regained his composure and asked in a deep voice.

Huo Ling shook his head, "Being suppressed for the time being, it seems that he is sending people to search, and he dare not disturb the higher-ups."

Xiao Xu frowned, "Press?"

Huo Ling nodded, his tone was a little strange, as if he was contemptuous, "I heard that there are many right-handed people who are with the fourth prince this time, and those who can join the army are probably not low-ranking officials, and I guess they want to use this time to calm down Zhan Luan had the opportunity to be promoted, but they didn't want the fourth prince to lose miserably one after another, if even the fourth prince failed to protect him, the people above might not let them off so easily, so they wanted to find someone first to minimize the severity."

Xiao Xu was silent for a moment when he heard the words, recalling the worried childish face when he left the capital five years ago, he said in a tight voice, "Send someone to search for the place where the fourth prince disappeared, and find his whereabouts as soon as possible. Things must be passed on immediately, if you live, you must see people, if you die, you must see corpses!"

At this time, the conflict between the two parties has reached the point of anxiety. If it is someone else, it would be good not to add insult to injury. The master is actually worried about his comfort, but Huo Ling is not surprised by his master's decision at all, even though he has nothing to do with the fourth prince. Bad impression, but he stands on a different standpoint, so he very much hopes that the master will let it go, but the master's order has been given, and he will not take it back. He can't interfere, he can only obey.

After Huo Ling went to work, and Tu Ling came back from exploring the road, Xiao Xu suddenly remembered something, and said solemnly, "Tu Ling, have you received any letters from Jiangnan in the past two days?"

Tu Ling knew that the master was waiting for the news from the little princess, he shook his head and said, "They are all from the front line, maybe we are in a hurry and the pigeons haven't caught up yet."

Xiao Xu was not very satisfied with this explanation. He told his subordinates that he must write down the little guy's daily routine and send him a letter every day.

Hope nothing happens.

The news that Xiao Xu was about to join the three armies quickly spread to the capital. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty swept away the gloom of the past few days, and everyone was refreshed and full of face, as if Xiao Xu was not going to fight, but had already won the battle and returned to the court. .

I heard that after seeing this scene, Emperor Xixuan didn't express anything on the surface, but after returning to the imperial study, he lost his temper.That's another story.

Chaoyang Palace.

Luo Yun informed Liang Hou of the news from the left minister, then lightly patted Liang Hou's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Your Highness should listen to you, otherwise the matter of leading the army will be suspended."

"Although Xu'er has not been by Bengong's side for many years, I understand his temperament thoroughly. No matter how stubborn he is, he will never disregard Bengong's orders." Putting down the big stone in his heart, Liang Hou relaxed all over, and his expression also changed. Rare carefree.

As long as she thinks of seeing Concubine Yue's gloomy face in the imperial garden today, she will pour out all the gloom of the past few days.

Her eyes are gloomy and cold. If this little bastard wants to fight her, he still needs to practice for a few years!

"Then master, what are we going to do next?" Luo Yun asked.

"Father explained that we are in the limelight during this period, so don't act rashly for now, and then later, you send someone to tell Uncle Sanguo to let the two girls, Dan Jing and Dan Bing, take good care of them, and wait until Xuer When they return, their status will be indispensable by their side."

Liang Hou thought of the embarrassment of the two nieces when they were sent back. It can be said that they were swept away from the south of the Yangtze River. She lost her face and lost her temper. All the killers sent by God were wiped out, so she could only hold back for now.

And the third brother seemed to complain a little to her because of this matter. Although she felt that the two nieces were good-looking, they had no brains. They were chosen as a last resort, but after all, they were from her natal family, and they would still be useful in the future, so At this time, I will appease you first, and then arrange it later.

Luo Yun nodded, "The two cousins ​​couldn't catch His Highness's eyes at first, presumably because they didn't get along long enough. When they return to Beijing, His Highness might fall in love with them after getting along for a long time."

Empress Liang laughed coldly, "Even if you don't want to, Xu'er's concubine can only be from the Liang family."

Luo Yun repeatedly said yes.

Liang Hou closed her eyes, enjoying Luo Yun's shoulder pinch, and after a while, she seemed to remember something unintentionally, "Yesterday, Imperial Physician Shen went to the palace of the Yungui people, but he was not feeling well?"

Luo Yun rubbed his shoulders and said, "The slaves are about to report this matter to the master. The Yungui people said that they had contracted a cold and thanked guests behind closed doors, but recently they often ordered the imperial dining room to prepare sour plum soup, and listened to the palace maids. It is said that people from Yunnan and Guizhou are fond of sour food recently, and the slaves have only heard about this, and haven't asked Shen imperial physician yet."

According to Luo Yun's description, there is no need to guess that there are nine out of ten noble people in Yun, but in order to deceive people and prevent people from staring at them, so I hide it first, I am afraid that I want to wait for the fetus to stabilize, and then find a good time to let His Majesty Knowing that the dragon fetus will be protected by someone at that time, she will not be afraid. This is what the people of Yungui have planned.

"Don't ask the imperial doctor about it." Empress Liang narrowed her eyes, and a cold light flashed in her eyes. "Concubine Yue has been paying attention to the front line recently. I'm afraid she's less concerned about the affairs of the harem. You can ask someone to disclose some information to her. For the maids around me, someone will look for Imperial Physician Shen for us when the time comes, so we can watch the show on the sidelines."

Luo Yun nodded knowingly when he heard the words, and an unspeakable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Master is right, there hasn't been any lively things happening in the palace recently, it's quite boring, and now there's going to be a good show, we have to have a good time." appreciate."

Empress Liang finally closed her eyes comfortably this time.

Borrowing a knife to kill people is a common move in the harem, and the person who is chosen is just bad luck.
