The rebirth of the poisonous concubine

Chapter 428 Terrible Conspiracy
As soon as the soldiers retreated, Situ Yan held Hu Lie hostage and led the team to ride towards the grove.There is a forest not far away, as long as you retreat into the forest, with the natural barrier at that time, you will not have to worry about getting out.

Unexpectedly, after Situ Yan and the others, another group of men in black rushed out. They intercepted Hu Lie's troops and threw smoke bombs. When Hu Lie's troops were in chaos, they quickly disappeared without a trace.

Situ Yan and his party were also stopped by men in black in the woods, and Situ Yan looked at them calmly: "Who is here?"

The leader of the man in black suddenly got off his horse, pulled off his kerchief, knelt down on one knee towards Situ Yan, and said respectfully: "The king of Lingzhou is frightened. The villain was ordered by Prince Rong to meet him. We have already prepared our horses and waists." The token, the prince passes through this forest, and the official road is behind, with the token, you can go out of the pass without hindrance."

"Then I'll give Hu Lie to you." Situ Yan jumped from Hu Lie's horse to another horse, making sure that Chu Li and Long Wei went first, and he was behind, "Thank you, Prince Rong, for me." With that, he rode off on his horse.

The sound of horseshoes was getting farther and farther away, and the smile on the face of the man in black disappeared immediately. He looked at Hu Lie with a half-smile, "Marshal, do you want to see the emperor or Prince Rong?"

"You, what do you want to do?"

Man in black: "What do you think?"

……

There was a faint scream in the woods, and then everything returned to calm.

"Have they left already?" There was a strange voice in the peaceful forest, and a young man in fine clothes came riding a tall horse.With such a peculiar baby face, such treacherous eyes, and such an incongruous appearance, Xuanyuan Lie is the only one here.

The men in black hurriedly saluted him: "My lord!"

Xuanyuan Lie flicked the wrench in his hand, and said, "Where's that trash?"

The man in black pointed to a large pile of corpses next to him, and said, "My lord, the people have been dealt with."

Xuanyuan Lie followed his line of sight, covering his mouth and nose in disgust: "It's a pity that my grand marshal of the army and horses of the Great Zhou Dynasty ended up in such a fate. Take it back and give it to Xuanyuan Yu, I miss him." Will love it."

When he said this, he was laughing, matching his baby face, there was an indescribable awkwardness and weirdness.

After Situ Yan brought Chu Li and Long Wei out of the siege, he went back to the inn to join Mu Qing and Liu Chenyue, and took everyone to the secret stronghold to hide temporarily.

This is a small courtyard on the outskirts of the Eastern Zhou capital, so normal that it won't arouse anyone's suspicion.

Long Wei explained everything that happened in detail, and Situ Yan said: "You all know what happened today, so please share your own opinions."

"My lord's meeting with Prince Harry to persuade him is very confidential. How could Hu Lie know in advance and set up an ambush to wait for his lord? Moreover, the timing of Xuanyuan Lie's appearance is too coincidental." Liu Chen After hearing what Long Wei said, Yue was the first to speak, and there was no trace of ups and downs in her voice.As the Minister of Dali Temple, Liu Chenyue is best at finding intractable diseases.

His words immediately aroused Chu Li's sympathy, "I also feel that this matter is like a play arranged by others from the beginning to the end, and we are just pawns being shown off. Follow the path they arranged .”

Liu Chenyue nodded in understanding.

Long Wei didn't think anything at first, and he was lucky to be out of danger, but when he heard what they said, he immediately frowned and said: "You two mean that the prince was assassinated today, even the person who rescued Xuanyuan Lie who we left is very suspicious? "

"Yes, no matter Harry or Xuanyuan Yu, they are not as suspicious as Xuanyuan Lie." Liu Chenyue said solemnly, "If Xuanyuan Lie sent someone to set up an ambush, then he will send rescuers to help, just to clear the air. His suspicion. Pretending to have nothing to do with him."

Situ Yan smiled and said, "What you said is all reasonable, but this king doesn't think so. There are two loopholes in this. First, the time and place agreed by this king and Harry are all set by this king. , Xuanyuan Lie didn’t know about it; secondly, Xuanyuan Lie is a smart person, if the king was attacked today, and his people appeared at that time, he should know that the king would doubt him. If he wants to take the opportunity to get rid of the king, There's no need to overdo it. He's not one to shoot himself in the foot."

"What the prince said is also reasonable. However, since Xuanyuan Yu has set up an ambush, the time and place agreed by the prince and Prince Harry is not a secret. It is very likely that Prince Harry and Xuanyuan Yu conspired and did not really want to meet the prince. , but deliberately lured the prince into the bait."

"No." Situ Yan said firmly, "No matter how treacherous and unpredictable a person is, his emotions cannot deceive others. This king can tell that Harry's feelings for Susu are not fake."

"My lord, I only believe in evidence when handling cases, and will not influence my judgment because of feelings." Liu Chenyue said sternly, and only after she finished speaking did she feel disrespectful.

Although the prince never puts on the airs of the master in front of them, but the master is the master, it is disrespectful for him to speak like this.

Just when Liu Chenyue was worried, thinking that Situ Yan would be angry, Situ Yan said calmly, "It is true that the possibility of Harry cooperating with them cannot be ruled out." As he spoke, he glanced at Liu Chenyue.

Liu Chenyue felt guilty, "My lord forgives my sin, but my humble minister has nothing to say, so I made a slip of the tongue."

"It's okay, it's your strength to be straightforward, but just remember not to be so straightforward in front of Situ Rui." Situ Yan said that he didn't take this kind of thing to heart, "This matter is full of doubts, and we must investigate it as soon as possible. Qing. Best, it has nothing to do with Xuanyuan Lie."

Liu Chenyue quickly agreed.

Xuanyuan Lie's mind is unfathomable, if the assassination and rescue of the prince is really related to him, it will be troublesome.I was afraid that he would have some ulterior purpose, and even more afraid that today's dangerous situation was just the beginning, not the end.

When Xuanyuan Yu received Hu Lie's body, his first reaction was to smash the inkstone on the messenger's head, "I raised you for what to eat! I brought five thousand soldiers and horses but failed to catch Situ Yan, and let the messenger Hu Lie died at the hands of Situ Yan! Are you dead?!"

The emperor was furious, and the people below trembled, "The emperor calm down, and the subordinates don't know that the Lingzhou king in Xiling is so difficult. It doesn't matter that he kidnapped Marshal Hu Lie, there are still people to respond. We... ..."

"Trash, it's all trash!" Xuanyuan Yu cursed angrily, and before the man finished speaking, he drew out his sword and chopped off his head.

Bright red blood splashed on the bright yellow dragon robe, and the palace people screamed and rushed out of the door.

Xuanyuan Yu's facial features were twisted into a ball due to anger. After beheading the person, he was still angry and split the dragon case in half.

Amidst the sound of "crackling", a man wearing a mask and wearing a green robe came in, glanced at the mess in the hall, and said, "Why are you so angry, Your Majesty?"

"Master, you know that Hu Lie is dead." Xuanyuan Yu saw him, his eyes were different.

This person is none other than Xuan Wu, Xuanyuan Yu's most trusted national teacher.

Xuan Wu said calmly: "Someone has already reported this matter to the minister, and it is precisely because of this matter that I rushed to the palace to ask to see the emperor."

Listening to his tone as if he didn't care, Xuanyuan Yu only felt that his anger was even worse: "I and Xuanyuan are fighting to the death, and Xuanyuan Lie's connections are far better than mine. If it wasn't for me getting the soldier talisman earlier, he would have already I snatched the throne and became the emperor myself, Hu Lie is my biggest support in the army, without Hu Lie, what do you want me to use to compete with Xuanyuan Lie! Tell me!"

"Your majesty, you should recognize your identity. You are the emperor, not the prince." Facing Xuanyuan Yu's anger, Xuan Wu remained calm.

Although he despised the puppet emperor in his heart, he still pretended to be respectful on the surface, and said, "You are the emperor, and Xuanyuan Lie is a subject. If Xuanyuan Lie rashly takes action to teach someone who is unknown, then he is seeking to usurp the throne, and he is a traitor. Everyone gets it and punishes it. Therefore, as long as the emperor does a good job of superficial skills, he will not be afraid of Xuanyuan Lie."

"That's the way it is said, but it's not that you don't know that Xuanyuan Lie has been scheming since he was a child. Without Hu Lie, he would be even more unscrupulous. You still offered a plan to use Harry to lure Situ Yan and let Hu Lie lead the army Take the opportunity to capture Situ Yan alive. If you capture Situ Yan, the battle of Yongzhou will be defeated without a fight. Fortunately, Situ Yan has not been captured, and Hu Lie was lost. Hu Lie is my army general!"

The more Xuanyuan Yu spoke, the more angry he became, but he didn't have the slightest momentum in front of Xuan Wu.

Xuan Wu sneered in his heart, but said without changing his face: "The emperor is not afraid of losing Hu Lie. As long as we can win Yongzhou, the emperor's position will not be shaken. At that time, Xuanyuan Lie is nothing to be afraid of."

Xuanyuan Yu said with a gloomy face, "I hope that as the national teacher said, the national teacher will step down."

Xuan Wu saluted respectfully, "The emperor is at ease waiting for the good news from the minister in the palace, and I will take my leave."

The heavy hall door was pushed open, but there was still a young man in black standing outside the hall with a gloomy face.

When Xuan Wu came out and saw him, he was neither surprised nor surprised, as if it was expected, he smiled at the young man nonchalantly and said: "You have heard it all." An affirmative sentence, not a question sentence.

The young man turned around slowly, and it was undoubtedly Harry.

Seeing the two of them chatting, the surrounding guards retreated sensibly.

Harry played with the Longevity Lock, staring at Xuan Wu with hollow and deep eyes, "You are lying to me." It was also an affirmative sentence.

"At the beginning, in order to ask Prince Harry for help, I really told a little lie. I was not entrusted by the eldest princess, but everything I said to Prince Harry was true. The Queen only favored the Xiling harem, and the eldest princess traveled thousands of miles to marry When I arrived in Xiling, I was not familiar with the place, and she was born with stunning beauty. The queen was very jealous. The prince thought, can the eldest princess have a good life? Prince Harry and the eldest princess have the same mother, so naturally they have to plan for the eldest princess."
