Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 391

Fang Yan chuckled and shook his head, "Enemy? Why do you regard them as enemies? With Daliang's help, will they still be enemies? If their interests are related to Daliang, will they still be enemies? Only by standing taller and having a wider mind can one change one's vision..."

"No, it's ridiculous!" Cai Xiang got up angrily, raised his finger and said to Fang Yan, "Ignorant boy! Don't spoil my great cause! Even if I can't see Daliang unify the Turks with my own eyes, I won't let you ruin my great cause !"

After finishing speaking, he slapped Ping Ji fiercely.

Fang Yan was startled, the couch he was kneeling on suddenly moved.Immediately he raised his breath, his couch moved to one side, revealing sharp iron thorns under his head, he dodged the blow, but several cold arrows swished out from the beam, straight at Fang Yan.

The speed was so fast that Fang Yan didn't even have time to react after the couch moved.He rolled on the spot, and the swishing cold arrow shot into the carpet where he was just now, deep into the ground, and the tail of the arrow trembled slightly.

"Cai Xiang!" Fang Yan shouted coldly.

Cai Xiang looked at him with Chen Rushuang's face, and suddenly pushed the corner of the table with his hand, and the whole flower hall seemed to move and rotate.

"Even if I die, there will still be people who will continue to carry out my ideas. Don't try to sabotage me from fulfilling the late emperor's last wish, and don't stop me from unifying the northwest! The king of Qi is the one who most advocates peace talks. It’s not enough to be afraid of the voice of negotiating peace after death, it’s enough to drag you to die together!”

Cai Xiang's ferocious voice was accompanied by the creaking of beams and pillars in the flower hall.

Fang Yan frowned upside down, his eyes showed surprise, and in an instant, the beam suddenly broke.As soon as the load-bearing beams fell, the entire roof collapsed downwards, and the beams above Cai Xiang's head fell towards him.

Fang Yanfei jumped up to pull Xiang Cai away.Cai Xiang held Fang Yan tightly, and sneered, "It's worth it to be buried with King Qi."

Fang Yan threw him away, but was entangled in the mechanism set up by Cai Xiang.

The collapse of the flower hall was but a momentary event.The guards outside didn't even understand what was going on, they just heard a bang.

The roof of the entire flower hall was covered, the walls fell down and the house was destroyed. In the flower hall in sight, there was only a piece of dust that was shaken up and fell down again. The dust filled the air like mist, blurring people's vision.

The Cai family and Gongsun Ling who was guarding outside were all shocked, staring at this unbelievable scene with wide eyes.

Even when the flower hall collapsed for a long time, everyone was in a frozen state, staring, watching the dust rise and fall, everyone was stunned and at a loss.

After a while, Cai Xiang's sons and grandchildren rushed forward and cried to the ruined flower hall, "Father, grandfather—"

Only then did Gongsun Ling recover from the shock, touched the cold sweat on his forehead, and strode forward, "Have you seen Prince Qi?"

Guarding outside the flower hall, the guards who were not injured by the sudden collapse of the flower hall shook their heads repeatedly.

"Didn't you see it?" Gongsun Ling was startled, "Didn't you see King Qi come out?"

The guard still shook his head, "The house collapsed so suddenly that no one escaped. Even the servants of the Cai family who were close were shot!"

Gongsun Ling's heart turned cold, he shook his head again and again and said: "No, King Qi will definitely come out. If no one else can come out, how could he not come out? He must be fine! Come, find someone!"

The Shence Army and the servants of the Cai family were dispatched to the ruins of the flower hall to move the roof tiles, bricks, walls, beams and pillars that were pressed on the ruins.

Gongsun Ling stood aside with a dark face, looking coldly at the men of the Cai family, "Why are you crying? Cai Xiang dared to murder the emperor's relatives and relatives! If there is something wrong with Prince Qi, you Cai family, one Don't even think about surviving!"

"Grandpa... why did you harm us..." Cai Xiang's young grandson couldn't help crying and complaining.

Gongsun Ling snorted coldly, and looked at the ruins, but he was full of worry.

He watched King Qi go in well with his own eyes, but after a while, who would have expected such a thing to happen.Cai Xiang usually looks elegant and kind, but he can't see that his heart is so cruel!Gongsun Ling shook his head again and again, no, King Qi will be fine.

"There's someone here!" Shence Army shouted.

Gongsun Ling immediately raised his breath and flew forward without any hesitation.

But when he landed on the ruins, his heart skipped a beat.

The man's head and face were smashed flat, his brain was mixed with blood, covering his face, and his body was also deformed by the smash.The distorted posture makes me feel uncomfortable just looking at it.Half of his arm was still pinned under the brick wall.The Shence Army carried away the bricks and rubble.

Gongsun Ling snorted coldly, "Don't move, ask the Cai family to carry it!"

The servants of the Cai family wanted to step forward, but Gongsun Ling didn't allow them to move, pointing at the sons and grandchildren of the Cai family, "Come here!"

The sons and grandchildren of the Cai family looked at each other in fear, and Cai Xiang's son, who was not young and had gray hair, stepped forward shaking his hands.

Gongsun Ling looked at them coldly.

When they saw their father who had been smashed and completely deformed, Cai Xiang's son, the oldest, lost his legs and fell towards the ruins.The two brothers beside him rushed to support him.

"Father...Dad..." Cai Xiang's son knelt on the ruins and wept bitterly.

"If you want to cry, carry it away and cry." Gongsun Ling said coldly, "Don't hinder the search for Prince Qi!"

The male of Cai Xiang's family looked at Gongsun Ling with resentment, "General Gongsun, even if something like this happened to my father, you shouldn't be so indifferent! Could it be that my father committed a crime? The Holy Majesty has not yet come to a conclusion! Isn’t it too early for General Gongsun to speak sarcasticly now!?”

Gongsun Ling snorted coldly and said: "I never knew that the Xiangfu's house was so weak? It was fine before, but it collapsed when it was said to collapse? And it happened when Prince Qi came? Why didn't Cai Xiang allow others to enter? Why didn't you even These sons and grandchildren are not allowed to enter? Why do you want to see Prince Qi alone? The Holy Majesty invited Cai Xiang to enter the palace, why did Cai Xiang delay? You are all fools by others? No one will stop you when you are old enough! Prince Qi is dedicated to serving the people, and he is in his prime—”

Gongsun Ling gritted his teeth, but his voice was stuck in his throat and he couldn't continue.He didn't want to talk any more. Besides, it seemed like what happened to Prince Qi!Prince Qi is fine, he must be fine!Maybe it's just under a wall, waiting for them to come to rescue.

Gongsun Ling waved his hand impatiently, and asked the Shence Army to drive the males of Cai Xiang's family aside.

Cai Xiang, who had been smashed and deformed, was carried to the open space by his children and grandchildren.The wailing sound attracted all the female family members of Cai Xiang's family over. The female family members were far away and didn't know what happened, but when they got closer, they saw the person lying on the ground. The female family members were shocked immediately, and some cried , then passed out.

The mother hastily raised her hand to cover the children's eyes, and the male of Cai Xiang's family hastily waved his hand to make the female relatives back away.

They wanted to carry their father's body into the house, it was unbelievable for him to lie in the open air like this, at least they had to tidy up.

But I never thought that Gongsun Ling was really angry, and he didn't allow them to move the body, and made them cry and pray, they were all here, and they could only move his father's body when they found Prince Qi.

Isn't this letting the father's body be humiliated under the blue sky?The son of Cai Xiang's family disagreed.

Gongsun Ling ignored them, just stared at the ruins with a livid face.

The flower hall not only collapsed, but also sank several feet down because of the mechanism. To find someone, I couldn't help but to lift away the collapsed beams and ridges, and even had to dig down.

Under such circumstances, Cai Xiang himself was smashed into such a state, and King Qi failed to escape, so how much hope is there for him to survive now?
Gongsun Ling didn't know how to tell the result to the Holy Majesty and Princess Qi.

His face was sullen, and his whole body was covered with cold air.Even the crying Cai family, seeing his increasingly dark complexion, did not dare to cry loudly in front of him.Secretly choked up, still not daring to let him hear.

It was getting late, the sky was dark, the snow had not yet fallen, but thick clouds had gathered.

The treetops were whining by the cold wind, and occasionally a jackdaw passed by, croaking, which made people feel hairy.

The room in Prince Qi's Mansion was as warm as spring. Shen Xiniang looked at her son, watching him stand unsteadily on the railing of the crib.Maybe it was because of the water from the spiritual spring, or maybe it was because he was born strong, and he was able to stand on his own while holding on to things at only seven months old.

Although he was still a little wobbly and unable to grasp his balance, he seemed to like the game of standing up very much, and he grinned at his mother happily.

"When your father comes back, tell him to take a look at our Li'er, how amazing it is!" Shen Xinniang said to her son.

"Father, father." Fang Li grinned and followed up vaguely.

"Hey, is Xiao Shizi calling Daddy?" The nurse stared and asked, "This servant girl sounds like calling Daddy!"

Shen Xiniang also nodded and smiled lightly, "Why don't you call your mother first?"

"Dad is easy to say, you know how to call dad first! The prince heard it, and I don't know how happy he should be!" The nanny said with a smile, "The prince loves the little son the most, and the little prince knows his feelings clearly! No It hurts the prince for nothing!"

"Your father should be proud when he comes back, he doesn't know how to call mother, so he knows how to call him first!" Shen Xinniang stretched out her hand and poked Fang Li's soft and tender little bun face.

Fang Li bit his mother's fingertips with his face sideways, and the small front teeth that had just exposed were pinching Shen Xinniang's fingers, it was extremely painful.

Shen Xinniang didn't dare to pull it hard, she coaxed him to loosen his mouth, and looked out sideways, the sky outside was already completely dark, because it was overcast and there was no moonlight.

"Has the prince not come back yet?"

Dan Xin shook her head quickly, "No, is the lady hungry? Do you want to set up a meal?"

Shen Xinniang handed Fang Li to the nanny, got up and went to the door, looked outside, and then looked at the clepsydra beside her.

"I didn't send anyone to send a letter back, saying whether I will come back for dinner?"

Dan Xin shook her head, "No letter delivered."

"Then maybe I'll come back for dinner, just wait." Shen Xinniang said slowly.
