Lanting prelude
Chapter 62
Chapter 62
Chu Lisang hurriedly turned her head, her heart sank suddenly - Su Jinse had indeed fallen to the ground, with a feathered arrow sticking out of her back, blood had already stained her back red.
The galloping car stopped suddenly in front of the villa, and the horse raised its front hooves high and let out a long neigh.
Su Jinse jumped out of the carriage, took off a jasper bracelet from her wrist and threw it to the coachman, then ran towards the gate.Seeing this, the six or seven gatekeepers panicked.The leading sergeant stepped forward to stop him: "Miss Su, you can't go in."
"Presumptuous! Do you even dare to stop me?!" Su Jinse showed the prestige of a hostess.
"You little ones don't dare." The sergeant said, "Please wait here for a while, let the little ones go in and report."
"It's a joke! I'm looking for Your Highness, and I want you to report?!" Su Jinse glared angrily, "Get out of the way!"
The sergeant was stunned, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Taking advantage of this gap, Su Jinse swayed past him, brushed past other soldiers, and ran into the gate as if flying.The leading sergeant hurriedly called several people to chase after him.
At the same time that Su Jinse forced his way into the villa, a silent killing had already begun in the east wing next to the main hall: Du Chuke put strong poison in the food and drinks of Wang Hongyi's entourage, and the seven or eight burly men faced the fine wine He completely relaxed his vigilance for the delicious food, so he let go of his stomach to eat and drink, but just after eating half of it, all the seven orifices bleed, and they all fell to death.
Du Chuke looked coldly at the corpses lying all over the floor, with a sinister smile on his face.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and a sergeant rushed in, out of breath, and said, "Du Changshi, no... no, Miss Su...she broke in!"
Du Chuke was taken aback for a moment, then sneered silently, waved his hand, and strode out with a dozen or so soldiers in the room.
As soon as Su Jinse ran to the gate of the second courtyard, she was blocked by the guards here. Together with the three sergeants who chased after her, six or seven people immediately surrounded her.Su Jinse was anxious and annoyed, so she pulled out the dagger in her sleeve and pointed at them: "Get out of the way, or don't blame me for turning my face and denying people!"
The leading sergeant knew that she didn't know martial arts, so he smiled: "Miss Su, you are a noble person, don't learn how to use knives and swords like us rough people, if you hurt yourself, the little ones can't bear it." rise."
Su Jin was furious, and suddenly put the dagger across her neck: "You are right, so I advise you to get out of the way obediently!"
The sergeants didn't expect her to make this move, and they were stunned.
Su Jinse immediately shook off them and ran into the courtyard.However, she didn't run very far before she stopped abruptly.
Du Chuke came out with a dozen or so soldiers with gloomy faces, just in time to block her way.
The two looked at each other, and the meaning of the contest was exactly the same as the scene in Wei Wangfu the day before yesterday.
At this moment, on the back hill of Zangfeng Mountain Villa, one of Wei Laoliu's subordinates was climbing on a cypress tree to observe. He vaguely saw the scene of the confrontation in the courtyard. Jumped up and down.
Kazuki's snow fell rustlingly from his shock.
"Zuoshi, it's too bad, Missy is surrounded by people!" Wei Laoliu, who was not far away from his subordinate, shouted in a low voice.
Wei Laoliu frowned, and walked over quickly: "How is it possible? Are you reading that right?"
"Absolutely, it's Missy, surrounded by Du Chuke and his gang, something is wrong!"
Wei Laoliu jumped onto a rock, set up an awning with his hands, squinted his eyes, and suddenly changed his face.
In the front yard of the villa, Du Chuke and Su Jinse confronted each other silently for a moment, and said, "Su Jinse, what do you want to do?"
Since she was called by her first name, it meant that Du Chuke didn't take her seriously at all.
Su Jinse realized that it was meaningless to threaten his life in front of him, so he put down the dagger and said coldly: "I still want to ask Du Changshi about this! You and Your Highness invited my father over, what will happen?" What do you want to do?!"
"Su Jinse, you are a prostitute, don't expect to fly on a high branch and become a phoenix." Du Chuke looked contemptuous and ignored her question at all, "Your Highness is going to be the emperor in the future, how can you marry someone like you? It really made you the queen of the world, wouldn't it make the world laugh out loud? Throughout the ages, have you ever heard of a brothel woman as a queen?"
"Du Chuke, I don't need you to worry about the matter between me and Your Highness." Su Jinse showed an indifferent smile, "I never expected Your Highness to be married, let alone expect to be a queen, so you can't talk to me about these boring words! I just want to ask you now, what kind of conspiracy are you and Your Highness playing?!"
"Since you care about Wang Hongyi so much, I might as well tell you the truth." Du Chuke grinned, "Next year today will be the anniversary of Wang Hongyi's death. I was still thinking about how to deal with you, but this is great, you have come here yourself. So, if there is no accident, today is also your death day."
Even though all this had been expected, Su Jinse still couldn't accept this sudden fact.
Even though she already knew that her adoptive father Wang Hongyi and Li Tai would not be able to live in peace until the end, she still didn't expect this day to come so soon!
In any case, the adoptive father has been trying his best to assist Li Tai this year, and he has also helped him a lot. I didn't expect that Li Tai would be so heartless and ungrateful that he would even set up a plot to murder him!
"Du Chuke, if Your Highness thinks my father is useless, we can split up and go our separate ways. There's no need to put people to death, right?"
"One shot and two parts? You put it lightly!" Du Chuke chuckled, "Wang Hongyi has committed many injustices and is full of crimes. He is the number one criminal of the imperial court. His Majesty wants to catch him even in his dreams. As long as His Majesty hand over his head to His Majesty , It is a great achievement. You said, such a good opportunity, will His Highness give up easily? Also, keeping you is a disaster, and it will hurt His Highness sooner or later, so you have to die too. "
"Kill me, how can His Highness spare you?"
Du Chuke laughed loudly: "Su Jinse, don't you think too highly of yourself? I am His Highness's confidant, and I will assist him in enthroning and governing the world in the future, but what are you? Aren't you just a woman who plays the piano and sings? Is it? But there is no shortage of women around His Highness, and even more so when he becomes the emperor in the future! Even if I kill you now, what can His Highness do to me? At most, he will shed a few tears for you, and he will thank you later I, thank me for eradicating a great hidden danger for him."
Su Jinse smiled bitterly.
She knew that it was useless to say anything now, the most urgent thing was to warn her father immediately!
On the back hill, Wei Laoliu rushed down with a gust of wind, but at a distance of six or seven feet from the west courtyard wall of the villa, a group of men and horses suddenly jumped out of the woods and blocked their way.
They are Lao Gu and Wu Yu's helmsman, as well as the two tea doctors and Linchuan's helmsman, a total of 40 people, which are evenly matched with Wei Laoliu's side.
According to the plan drawn up in advance and Xiao Junmo's instructions, they had ambushed here early this morning, and their task was to intercept Wei Lao Liu.
At such an urgent juncture, Wei Laoliu didn't care who the opponent was, and whoever blocked the way died!
With the knife in his hand, he roared and rushed towards Lao Gu.
The two sides immediately fought into a group.
In the main hall of the villa, Li Tai secretly observed Wang Hongyi while chatting with him.
Wang Hongyi had already drank four cups, but nothing happened.
After all, he is a person with profound martial arts, an ordinary person can be knocked down in three cups, but he is still sober!
Thinking of this, Li Tai quickly raised the wine cup and began to persuade him to drink again.
Suddenly, Wang Hongyi frowned, rubbed his forehead, and then suddenly looked at Li Tai, his eyes full of suspicion.At this moment, the sound of fighting outside the courtyard wall on the west came vaguely, and the two attendants outside knocked on the door desperately: "Sir, something seems to happen outside!"
Wang Hongyi understood everything in an instant, and his gaze on Li Tai was as sharp as a knife.
It really is a Hongmen Banquet!
Realizing that he couldn't wait any longer, Li Tai immediately threw the wine cup in his hand on the ground.
As soon as the signal was issued, the four guards outside the door fought with the two followers.But what surprised Li Tai was that Lu Ben behind the screen didn't move at all.
Wang Hongyi put the mask back on, then stood up abruptly.
Maybe it was because the action was too violent, the effect of the sweat medicine suddenly broke out at this moment.Wang Hongyi held his head, his body began to shake, and the scene in front of him became blurred.
"Why?!" Wang Hongyi struggled to escape two words from between his teeth.
"It's very simple, our cooperation is over." Li Tai stood up and said with a blank expression, "Father ordered me to arrest you, I have no choice."
"You...ruthless."
"I don't want to do this either, but I can't help it." Li Tai shrugged, "If I'm not being cruel to you, then I'm being cruel to myself. What we're playing is a life-and-death game, isn't it? Even if I don't kill you today You, when you become the emperor in the future, you will also die, but the emperor forced me to advance this day. After all, you are actually using me. If one day the king fails to win the heir, you will also be relentless Kick me away mercilessly, maybe even kill me, right? Since our mask will be torn off sooner or later, how much difference does it make if we tear it off sooner or later?"
Wang Hongyi stared at Li Tai, then let out a low growl like a beast, and lunged at him with a knife.
Li Taiwan didn't expect that when others were almost down, they could still attack!
"Lu Ben! What are you dawdling about? Come out soon!" Li Tai yelled loudly while pulling away to dodge.
As soon as the words fell, Lu Ben really came out from behind the screen. Unfortunately, he had a knife on his neck.
This is a dragon head knife with a cold light, and the person holding the knife is Xiao Junmo with a smile on his face.
Behind the screen, the ten soldiers squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands. Huan Dieyi, Luo Biao and other Xuanjia guards threatened them with knives.
Wang Hongyi never expected that Xiao Junmo would appear here, but before he had time to react, he fell to the ground and lost consciousness instantly.
In the front yard, Su Jinse held the dagger upright and walked towards Du Chuke step by step with an awe-inspiring expression.
Du Chuke shook his head and sneered, but put his hands behind his back, raised his chin slightly, and waited arrogantly for her to come.
It wasn't until Su Jinse walked three steps away from him that Du Chuke suddenly pulled out the saber from his waist, held it up high, and shouted: "Die!"
Suddenly, Su Jinse raised his left sleeve, and a cloud of dust rushed towards him.Du Chuke was caught off guard, and the dust entered his eyes, causing a sharp pain.At the same time, Su Jinse's dagger stabbed him in the chest.Du Chuke dodged subconsciously, and the dagger slashed across his chest, creating a bloody gash.
Su Jinse learned this trick by accident when she was kidnapped by Doris last year. Although Doris used a hallucinogenic drug and she only used ordinary makeup powder, it still came in handy at the critical moment .
These actions happened in an instant, and when the sergeants on both sides came back to their senses, Su Jinse had already rushed out of their encirclement and ran towards the third courtyard gate.
Du Chuke couldn't open his eyes, so he could only jump up and shout, "Kill her, kill her!"
The sergeants hurried to catch up.
"Send the arrow, release the arrow!"
Du Chuke yelled again.Half of the sergeants under him carried bows and arrows.
Outside the courtyard wall on the west side, people from both sides fought inextricably.
Although the two sides were equal in number, Wei Laoliu's side had experienced many battles after all, and their kung fu was slightly better, so a dozen people broke through Lao Gu's defense line and entered the courtyard over the wall.
Wei Laoliu also wanted to get rid of it all the time, but he was entangled tightly by Lao Gu and his subordinates, and he couldn't get away.
The dozen or so people climbed over the courtyard wall, but they didn't expect to meet another group of stronger opponents as soon as they landed.
They are Chu Lisang, Xi Yan and Donggu Duo's subordinates.
Since there are many mountain pines and cypresses and rocks of various sizes preserved in the courtyard of Zangfeng Mountain Villa, it is easy to hide, so Chu Lisang and others have already ambushed in.
These people who managed to kill them almost became the prey of Chu Lisang and others, and within a short while, most of them fell into a pool of blood.Chu Lisang was about to finish off the remaining few when he suddenly heard the sharp sound of arrows piercing the air behind him.
Chu Lisang turned his head suddenly, only to see Su Jinse stumbling in, with six or seven archers chasing after him.
How could she be here, and still be hunted down by the people of Prince Wei's mansion? !
Chu Lisang only hesitated for a moment, then rushed over.
Although she has never liked this "sister", the situation in front of her does not allow her to do nothing.
"Lie down! Jinse, get down quickly!" Chu Lisang shouted while running towards her.
However, Su Jinse turned a deaf ear and ran straight to the entrance of the main hall.
In an instant, Chu Lisang rushed to her side.Another wave of sharp arrows came roaring, Chu Lisang waved his knife to block, and shouted without turning his head: "Su Jinse, are you crazy? Find a place to hide!"
Su Jinse behind him didn't answer.
Chu Lisang vaguely heard her run a few more steps, then slowed down, and finally fell to the ground with a thumping sound.Chu Lisang hurriedly turned her head, her heart sank suddenly - Su Jinse had indeed fallen to the ground, with a feathered arrow sticking out of her back, blood had already stained her back red.
But Su Jinse, regardless of her injuries, still supported herself with both hands, struggling to crawl forward.
At the entrance of the main hall, Wang Hongyi's two attendants and Li Tai's four guards were lying dead or injured on the steps.Su Jinse had seen it when she rushed in just now, and of course she could guess what happened in the main hall.
There is no need to warn at this time, but Su Jinse is still eager to know the safety of her adoptive father...
In the main hall, Li Tai looked at Xiao Junmo in astonishment, and held back a word after a while: "Xiao Junmo? Why are you here?!"
"Wang Hongyi is full of tricks. The Holy Majesty was afraid that His Highness might make a mistake, so he ordered this guard to help His Highness." Xiao Junmo smiled, "Xiao followed the rules of this guard, came uninvited, and did not notify His Highness in advance. Disrespectful, I hope His Highness will forgive you."
Before dawn this morning, Xiao Junmo sneaked into Zangfeng Mountain Villa with Huan Dieyi, Luo Biao and others, and hid on the beam at the back of the main hall.Just now, Lu Ben and his subordinates were paying attention to Wang Hongyi nervously, and they didn't even notice that there were more than a dozen Xuanjia guards hiding above their heads, until Xiao Junmo and others quietly put the knife on their necks.
Li Tai seemed to understand something, and a look of horror appeared in his eyes: "You really obeyed the order of the emperor?"
"How can it be false to do an errand?" Xiao Junmo still smiled.
Li Tai's brain started to work rapidly.
What he said to Wang Hongyi just now undoubtedly fell into Xiao Junmo's ears. If he was allowed to bring the living Wang Hongyi to his father again, he would be finished!So, no matter what, you can't let him take people away!Wang Hongyi had to be killed, so that there would be no evidence against him. Even if Xiao Junmo went to report to his father afterwards, it would only be a one-sided statement, and he would still have a chance to defend himself.Taking a step back, even if the father clearly knows the truth, as long as he still cares about the relationship between father and son, he can help him hide the truth like the Li Feng case last time, but the premise is of course——Wang Hongyi must never appear alive in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty !
Having made up his mind, Li Tai immediately darkened his face and put on the air of a prince: "General Xiao, since you came to help me according to the order of my father and emperor, now that the criminals have been captured, you are pointing a knife at me. What is the meaning of the king's subordinates?"
"Xiao is afraid that General Lu will be impulsive and kill the prisoner, so how can he report to the Holy One?" Xiao Junmo said, put the knife into the sheath, and patted Lu Ben on the shoulder, "It's all right now. General Lu, what's the matter?" Offended."
Lu Ben glared at him bitterly, but didn't speak.
"Brothers, you can come out now." Xiao Junmo said towards the back of the screen, "Take the prisoner away and go back to meet the Holy Master."
Huan Dieyi, Luo Biao and more than a dozen Xuanjia guards came out immediately.Luo Biao winked at his subordinates, and the two soldiers immediately stepped forward to set up Wang Hongyi. "Wait a minute!" Li Tai said loudly, "General Xiao, arresting Wang Hongyi is an errand entrusted to me by my father. You are just cooperating with me. Now that the operation is over, you can leave. I will handle it myself. "
"Your Highness, there is a lot of killing outside now, don't you want to go out and see what's going on?" Xiao Junmo said calmly, "Wang Hongyi has many minions, and they must be robbing people right now. If my brothers and I let go at this time, don't Talking about the safety of criminals, even Your Highness’s safety may be a problem, right?”
Li Tai and Lu Ben looked at each other.
Of course they had heard the sound of fighting outside, but they just had no time to take care of it.Hearing what Xiao Junmo said at this moment, Li Tai was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do next.
Outside the main hall, Xi Yan and his men had already dealt with the enemies on the west courtyard wall, and immediately rushed over to help Chu Lisang, fighting with the archers and the soldiers who arrived later.But the latter was obviously not an opponent, and quickly retreated.Xi Yan and others chased after them while fighting.
Chu Lisang ran over, helped Su Jinse up, and carefully broke off the arrow shaft inserted into her back, then inspected the wound, and immediately frowned.
Su Jinse looked at her and smiled sadly: "Li Sang, are you... are you here to save father?"
Chu Lisang's heart sank again: "No, I'm here to catch him."
"It doesn't matter if you save her or catch her..." Su Jinse's face was pale and very weak, "Li Sang, help Dad get out of here quickly, the sooner the better."
"You're already like this, and you still think about him?" Chu Lisang said angrily, and hugged her up, "Go, I'll take you down the mountain."
Su Jinse was paralyzed all over and couldn't stand up at all.Chu Lisang wanted to carry her on his back, but she didn't cooperate and slipped to the ground again.Chu Lisang was angry and anxious: "Do you want to die that much? No one can save you like this!"
"Don't save me, save father..." Su Jin was as angry as a thread.
"Don't worry, he'll be fine." Chu Lisang's mood became extremely complicated in an instant.
An adopted daughter who has no blood relationship is willing to give up her life for him, which is enough to prove that Wang Hongyi has given her a deep father's love over the years.And this paternal love should have been enjoyed by Chu Lisang, but he transferred this love to Su Jinse only because of good fortune.
"Li Sang, no matter how different paths you take from Dad, he is your father after all..." Su Jinse exhausted her last breath of energy, "Dad has his reasons and difficulties in doing things. Listen to what my sister says, and you will be fine." If you refuse to recognize him, don't regard your father as an enemy..."
"Stop talking..." Chu Lisang's eyes turned red, "Come with me, or you will die!"
At this moment, the door of the main hall opened abruptly, Xiao Junmo, Li Tai and a large group of people rushed out, and two Xuanjia guards supported the unconscious Wang Hongyi on the left and right.
Li Tai saw Su Jinse lying on the ground at a glance, and was stunned, then rushed over recklessly, helped her up, and said in a trembling voice: "Jinse, you...why are you here? Why are you like this? !"
Su Jinse looked at him with blank eyes, and said in a voice like a gnat, "Your Highness, let my father go..."
Li Tai supported her back, feeling the warmth of his palm, and pulled it out to see that it was covered with blood.With red eyes, he choked up and said, "Jinse, who did this? Tell me."
"Your Highness, please, let my father go..." Su Jinse still stubbornly repeated these words.
Xiao Junmo subconsciously looked at Chu Lisang, their eyes were full of sadness.
At this time, outside the courtyard wall on the west side, Lao Gu and others who were already injured were fighting and retreating. Firstly, Xiao Junmo had explained in advance that they only need to hold Wei Laoliu for a while, and they must not love to fight; If it is not Wei Laoliu's opponent, if the fight continues, the whole army will only be wiped out.
Wei Laoliu was in a hurry to enter the villa to rescue Wang Hongyi, so he had no intention of pursuing him, so he let Lao Gu and the others evacuate, and immediately took the remaining dozen of his men over the courtyard wall.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Wang Hongyi was unconscious and captured, and Su Jinse was dying. Wei Laoliu's blood rushed up immediately, and he roared angrily: "Li Tai, you treacherous villain! Let me go, or I will kill you with my own hands! "
Li Tai embraced the dying Su Jinse with tears streaming down his face, turning a blind eye to everything around him and turning a deaf ear to it.
Wei Laoliu was furious, and led his men to kill him.
Lu Ben and all the soldiers hurried forward to meet the enemy.
Xiao Junmo seized the opportunity and gave Huan Dieyi and Luo Biao a wink.Luo Biao immediately led people to support Wang Hongyi and evacuated to the back door of the villa in the southeast corner, but Huan Dieyi stood still.
She glanced at Chu Lisang, and said to Xiao Junmo: "Brother, this Tibetan Wind Villa is so lively today, it seems that there are several groups of people following your command, can I ask who they are?"
"Friends in the rivers and lakes." Xiao Junmo replied lightly.In fact, he has already thought about it, and when necessary, he will confess everything to Huan Dieyi, and he believes that she will understand him.
"Our Xuanjiawei is ordered to arrest imperial court criminals, why do you let people from the Jianghu intervene?" Huan Dieyi looked at him closely, "Let me dare to guess, are your so-called Jianghu friends from the Tianxing League?" people?"
"Dieyi, now is not the time to explain this." Xiao Junmo met her gaze, "Trust me, I will tell you everything when today's matter is over, okay?"
Huan Dieyi looked at him for a while, then snorted coldly, turned his face away, and said coldly: "Chu Lisang, long time no see, do you still remember our agreement?"
The so-called agreement is that the two will have a good fight to decide the winner.
"Of course I remember." Chu Lisang smiled faintly, "Team Ruohuan is... no, if the Commander-in-Chief Ruohuan is interested, I will accompany you at any time."
Xiao Junmo couldn't understand what they were talking about, so he couldn't help frowning slightly.
"Okay, then you wait, I will come to you!" Huan Dieyi dropped this sentence, and then chased in the direction where Luo Biao and the others were evacuating.
Xiao Junmo looked at Chu Lisang inexplicably, his eyes filled with doubts.
At this moment, Su Jinse's eyes were tightly closed, and she remained motionless in Li Tai's arms.Chu Lisang looked at Su Jinse for the last time with tears in his eyes, walked up to Xiao Junmo, and said, "You don't need to ask, this is between me and Huan Dieyi, it has nothing to do with you."
Xiao Junmo smiled bitterly: "Okay, I won't ask."
The terrain of Zhongnan Mountain is high and the climate is changeable. The sky was clear and bright just now, but now it is gloomy.After a while, pattering raindrops and swirling snowflakes fell at the same time.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Jinse woke up slowly, her eyes suddenly brightened again.Li Tai was overjoyed, and tried to hug her up: "Jinse, let's go down the mountain, I will find the best doctor to treat your injury, you will be fine..."
Su Jinse grabbed Li Tai's hand: "Your Highness, don't bother me, let me say a few words to you."
Li Tai realized that she was probably returning to the light, and couldn't help but shed tears again.
"Your Highness, Jinse is content to meet you in this life, and she will die in your arms in the end, and Jinse will have no regrets." Su Jinse smiled brightly, and in her eyes, she and Li Tai met for the first time in Qihuang Pavilion. "Your Highness, Jinse is gone, take good care of yourself. In the next life, if you see a woman who plays and sings "Mi Li", it will be me. You must recognize her, Your Highness?"
With tears streaming down his face, Li Tai could only nod his head desperately, but couldn't say a word.
"The millet is separated, the reality of the millet. Walking is sloppy, the center is shaking. Those who know me say that my heart is worried; those who don't know me say what I want..."
Su Jinse read slowly, her voice getting smaller and smaller...
But Li Tai clearly heard a burst of heavenly singing sounding in his ears.This song is so beautiful and desolate, so vast and so far away, it first surrounds Li Tai, then hovers over the courtyard, then slowly resounds throughout the entire Bixiao Peak, and finally in the mountains of Zhongnan Mountain Echoing for a long time...
The rain and snow are getting heavier and heavier, and the surrounding area is misty.
Li Tai hugged Su Jinse, who was getting colder, and let the snow and rain mixed with tears flow on his face.
The battle not far away also came to an end at this time.Lu Ben was no match for Wei Lao Liu, and most of his sergeants were quickly lost.Seeing that he couldn't hold it any longer, Lu Ben had no choice but to retreat to Li Tai's side, ordered someone to forcibly lift him up, and ordered someone to carry Su Jinse's body on his back, and then retreated in a hurry towards the gate of the villa.
Wei Laoliu just saw Wang Hongyi being taken away by Xuanjiawei with his own eyes. He had no intention of fighting, so he led his men to chase after him through the back door in the southeast corner.
On the mountain road a few miles away from the Zangfeng Mountain Villa, a large group of flying cavalry braved the rain, snow and wind to come swiftly.
The leader is Pei Tinglong.
His eyes were burning with raging anger, as if he wanted to ignite everything within his sight.
Taking advantage of King Wei's arrest of Wang Hongyi, Li Shiji completely kept him in the dark, and secretly handed over the task to Xiao Junmo. This is simply blatantly ignoring his existence!
Early this morning, Pei Tinglong had nothing to do, so he went to Shangshu Province to look for his uncle, grandson Wuji. Unexpectedly, as soon as his eldest grandson saw him, he asked, "Is Wang Hongyi under arrest?"
"Wang Hongyi?" Pei Tinglong looked confused, "What Wang Hongyi?"
Changsun Wuji didn't know whether to laugh or cry at once, so he told about the emperor ordered Wei Wang to trap Wang Hongyi and at the same time asked Xuanjiawei to act secretly, and then squinted and said: "You are also Xuanjiawei's right general after all, such a big thing I don’t know anything, let me tell you what’s good about you!”
Immediately, Pei Tinglong felt as if he had been slapped in the face, his face was hot, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground to get in.
Afterwards, Pei Tinglong immediately rushed back to Xuanjiawei and questioned Li Shiji unceremoniously.
Li Shiji let him go crazy, and then said slowly: "Pei Tinglong, whoever you want to send to perform any task is within the scope of my authority. You, a mere right general, dare to roar in front of me, don't you want to do it? ? If you are tired of staying in this guard, just tell me, I will help you find a better place; , Fifth Prison, where you fall in love with, I have no control over you!"
Pei Tinglong's face turned red and turned white, but he didn't dare to make a mistake after all, so he came out angrily, and immediately found six or seven generals, brigade commanders, etc. who usually flattered him, and asked Xiao Junmo where he was going.
Some of these people knew a little bit, and some didn't know anything, so they had to go back and ask someone.After tossing around like this for a long time, he finally pieced together an accurate piece of information from scattered clues. It can be confirmed that Xiao Junmo only brought Huan Dieyi, Luo Biao and a dozen of his confidants to Mount Zhongnan.
"Mt. Zhongnan stretches for hundreds of miles, and there are over a hundred peaks, large and small. Where do you ask me to find them?!"
Pei Tinglong was furious, and felt that this information was as if there was no information.
The subordinates hurriedly analyzed it again, and finally someone said: King Wei recently built an annex on Bixiao Peak in Zhongnan Mountain.
That's it!
With a flash of inspiration in Pei Tinglong's mind, he immediately summoned Xue An, Pei San and other 70 or [-] confidantes, and specially brought dozens of lethal crossbows, and rushed towards Zangfeng Mountain Villa like crazy ...
The rain and snow were getting heavier and heavier, and the visibility on the mountain was getting lower and lower, and it was impossible to see anything three feet away, but Pei Tinglong still galloped fiercely.Xue An, who followed closely behind, was very worried and advised him to ride slower several times, but Pei Tinglong turned a deaf ear to him.
A group of people quickly circled a mountain corner.
Pei Tinglong just whipped the horse's buttocks hard, but in the rain and fog, a group of horses and horses galloped towards him, and the two sides almost collided.Fortunately, he reacted quickly and quickly pulled the horse's head away. Coupled with the opponent's slow speed, he could barely avoid it—the two horses almost brushed past each other, which shocked Pei Tinglong into a cold sweat.
Taking a closer look, the other rider turned out to be Luo Biao!
Luo Biao opened his mouth to scold someone, but when he saw it was him, he hurriedly dismounted to meet him, and apologized repeatedly.
Pei Tinglong didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so he asked, "Where is Xiao Junmo?"
"Back to the right general, the left general has other important matters, so he didn't go with his subordinates." Luo Biao replied.
"Where's Wang Hongyi? Have you caught him?"
"Caught."
Pei Tinglong cursed in his heart - Xiao Junmo took the lead again!
"Where are the people?"
As soon as the words fell, Huan Dieyi and all the soldiers came over with a carriage.When everyone saw him, they got off their horses and saluted.
Pei Tinglong stared at the carriage, and snorted coldly: "A thieves in the ocean, a criminal committed by the imperial court, how can you give him this kind of courtesy?"
"General Pei doesn't know something." Huan Dieyi said, "Wang Hongyi was drugged by King Wei and fell into a coma, so he had to be escorted by car."
Only then was Pei Tinglong speechless, and immediately got off his horse, walked to the front of the carriage, and opened the curtain.
A middle-aged man was lying on the car seat, his limbs were bound, and he was still unconscious.What interested Pei Tinglong was that this man was wearing a strangely shaped bronze mask on his face.
Pei Tinglong had read the dossiers about Wang Hongyi before, and knew that this guy codenamed "Ming Zang" always liked to wear a mask and rarely showed his true colors.
He pulled out his saber and lifted the mask, revealing the man's face.
Huan Dieyi, who was standing aside, looked at it, and suddenly showed an expression of disbelief, and almost cried out.
An hour ago, when she was lying in ambush on the beam of the main hall of the villa, she saw Wang Hongyi take off the mask with her own eyes, and saw his face clearly, but the face in front of her was completely unfamiliar, it was not the Wang Hongyi who was captured in the villa at all. !
What exactly is going on?When was the prisoner transferred?
Huan Dieyi suddenly remembered that after everyone withdrew from the back door of the villa, they met at the edge of a birch forest in the east, and he arrived one step later than Luo Biao and the others.At that time, Luo Biao had already loaded the criminals into a carriage that had been prepared, and then Xiao Junmo arrived, whispered to Luo Biao a few times, and left with Chu Lisang.And she, Luo Biao and others led the carriage down the mountain.From the beginning to the end, she never thought of lifting the mask to confirm the criminal, but she was transferred!
Now it seems that this matter must have been arranged by Xiao Junmo in advance, and his accomplice and executor is Luo Biao!
Huan Dieyi couldn't help turning his head and staring at Luo Biao fiercely.
Luo Biao quickly looked left and right.
Pei Tinglong noticed Huan Dieyi's expression was different, so he asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, it's just dying of cold!" Huan Dieyi shivered, "General Pei stared at the prisoner like this, and he can't see anything. My subordinates suggest that you should take him back for interrogation."
"No rush." Pei Tinglong smiled meaningfully, and turned his head to give Xue An a wink.
After a while, Xue An brought a person up from the back of the line.The man's head was covered with a black cloak, and his head was still lowered, so he couldn't see his face clearly.He walked past Huan Dieyi and stood in front of the carriage, obviously trying to identify "Wang Hongyi".
Huan Dieyi's heart was pounding, and she subconsciously glanced at Luo Biao.At this time, Luo Biao was no longer calm, and there was a nervous look in his eyes.
After the man finished reading, he shook his head at Pei Tinglong.
Huan Dieyi sighed in his heart: Xiao Junmo, Xiao Junmo, look at what you have done!
Pei Tinglong's face darkened, he immediately turned around, and said sharply, "Xue An!"
"exist."
"Take Huan Dieyi and Luo Biao for me!"
Xue An, Pei San and dozens of people immediately drew their swords out of their sheaths, and surrounded Huan Dieyi and a dozen others.Huan Dieyi closed his eyes helplessly and remained motionless.With an innocent face, Luo Biao protested loudly: "General You, what are you doing? Why are you arresting us for no reason?"
"No reason?" Pei Tinglong sneered, "You transferred such an important criminal as Wang Hongyi, how dare you say no reason?"
"Change the bag? What kind of bag?" Luo Biao continued to play dumb, "The subordinates don't understand what the general is saying."
"The person in the car is not Wang Hongyi at all!" Pei Tinglong changed color suddenly, "How dare you pretend to be a fool with me?!"
Luo Biao was at a loss for words, and subconsciously looked at the mysterious man in the cloak.
Seeing this, Pei Tinglong couldn't help but sneered: "I'm curious, right? You must be wondering who this guy is. Why did you say that the person in the car wasn't Wang Hongyi after just one glance?"
Luo Biao was speechless.
"Forget it, I just want to satisfy your curiosity." Pei Tinglong said, turning his face to the mysterious man, "Come on, let them see who you are."
Huan Dieyi couldn't help opening his eyes when he heard it.
Hearing this, the mysterious man slowly took off the cloak on his head, and a familiar face appeared in front of everyone.
Xie Ji.
He is Xie Ji, the owner of the Fulitang Restaurant in Jiangling City and the leader of the Echo Rudder of the Tianxing League!
Huan Dieyi and Luo Biao suddenly realized, and couldn't help but look at each other.
"What else can I say now?" Pei Tinglong sneered, "I didn't wrong you, did I?"
"General Pei, this subordinate has something to say." Huan Dieyi suddenly said.
Pei Tinglong looked at her in surprise: "Say."
"Even if the person in the car is not Wang Hongyi, it has nothing to do with General Zuo, me, and Lushuai Luo." Huan Dieyi expressed calmly, "Because this is the person we captured in His Royal Highness Wei Wang's annex. If he If it's really not Wang Hongyi, then at best we can only say that our mission failed, and we are willing to accept the relevant punishment. But if you want to charge us with the crime of subcontracting, please forgive me for not accepting it!"
Hearing this, Luo Biao immediately lifted his spirits: "That's right, I have never seen what Wang Hongyi looks like, neither Lu Shuai Huan nor I, so how do we know that this guy is not him? If you want to pursue responsibility, you can only go to His Royal Highness King Wei Chase, it's not our turn!"
"Shut up!" Pei Tinglong was furious, "Haven't you two met Wang Hongyi, and Xiao Junmo? Didn't Xiao Junmo bring you to arrest him just now at the Zangfeng Mountain Villa?"
"General Pei, please calm down." Huan Dieyi took the words again, "It was indeed General Xiao who led us to arrest him, but at that time this guy was wearing a mask, and the scene was chaotic, General Xiao was negligent for a while, so he didn't take it off." Confirmation under the mask. This is a mistake at best, but there is nothing to say about the package."
"Up to now, you are still arguing for Xiao Junmo!" Pei Tinglong sneered loudly, "What a shrewd person Xiao Junmo is, how can he make such a low-level mistake? If he is such an idiot, why did he escape from us again and again last year? Why did you suddenly change from a fugitive to General Xuanjiawei Zuo?!"
"General Pei's words are wrong." Huan Dieyi said lightly, "No matter how shrewd a person is, don't they sometimes get confused?"
"Enough! I don't have time to listen to your nonsense now!" Pei Tinglong sternly said, "I have already seen that Xiao Junmo is a member of the Tianxing League, that's why he played today's trick. I'm sure that he and Wang Hongyi It must not be far away now, it is in this mountain!"
"Excuse me, this is just your guess..."
"Whether it's a guess or not, we can confirm it right away." Pei Tinglong interrupted her coldly, "How about Dieyi, you all come with me, I'll let you see with your own eyes whether Wang Hongyi was rescued by Xiao Junmo."
This is of course what Huan Dieyi wants to prove most now.
"Okay, let's go." Huan Dieyi said, deliberately glanced at Luo Biao.
Luo Biao felt guilty and quickly lowered his head.
Xue An and others stepped forward, unloaded their weapons, and then sandwiched them in the middle of the team, and the group went on the road again.Pei Tinglong casually ordered four soldiers, and ordered them, together with Xie Ji, to escort the fake Wang Hongyi back to Xuanjiawei with his car.
After setting off on the road, Huan Dieyi rode close to Luo Biao and said in a low voice, "What kind of tricks are you and Jun Mo playing?"
Luo Biao scratched his head: "This...it's a long story."
Huan Dieyi snorted coldly: "It doesn't matter, the mountain road is also very long, we have plenty of time, you take your time."
Luo Biao thought for a while, then chuckled: "Well, it's better...it's better for General Xiao to tell you himself."
"You—" Huan Dieyi glared angrily.
Luo Biao quickly lifted the reins, gave a "drive", and the mount jumped out immediately.
"You asked Huan Dieyi and the others to bet on a counterfeit product, can you fool the emperor?"
At this moment, on another mountain path on the east side of Bixiao Peak, Chu Lisang and Xiao Junmo walked side by side, followed by Xi Yan, Lao Gu and others, and Lao Gu and many of his subordinates had died.There was also a carriage in the middle of the team, and the real Wang Hongyi was lying in this carriage.
Hearing Chu Lisang's question, Xiao Junmo smiled faintly: "I never intended to deceive the emperor."
Chu Lisang frowned slightly, becoming more and more puzzled.
"I did this because I had to do it." Xiao Junmo continued to explain, "If we want to rob Wang Hongyi, we must get a counterfeit to go back to the job. Of course I know that no one can hide this matter, let alone, Jiangling City That Xie Ji has always been in the hands of Pei Tinglong, as soon as he comes out to recognize someone, the matter will be revealed. But even so, no one dared to say that I transferred the bag. I can say that this person was arrested from King Wei. Therefore, even if the emperor suspects it in his heart, he can only blame me in the name of dereliction of duty."
"Isn't that also punishable?"
"Of course. Penalties and demotions are all the meaning of the question." Xiao Junmo smiled indifferently, "Anyway, I don't like money, and I don't like being an official. What's the harm to me? Besides, my head This third-grade black yarn was originally a special blessing, and it’s nothing to take it back now.”
Chu Lisang felt a little relieved when he saw his calm face, and then thought of something: "By the way, if you asked Luo Biao to cooperate with you in the transfer, do you have to tell him everything in advance?"
"I only said that I found my biological mother, but she was arrested by Wang Hongyi, so I had to exchange Wang Hongyi for my mother. As for the rest, I didn't say anything."
"Then... what about Huan Dieyi? Have you been keeping her in the dark?" Chu Lisang asked again.
Xiao Junmo smiled bitterly: "It's not so simple to explain this to her... So, I have to keep it from her."
Chu Lisang knew that the reason why Xiao Junmo kept hiding it from Huan Dieyi was because he didn't want to involve her.In other words, he has always loved this junior sister very much.However, is this love pure brother-sister love, or does it mean something else?
Thinking of this, Chu Lisang's mood suddenly became gloomy.
(End of this chapter)
Chu Lisang hurriedly turned her head, her heart sank suddenly - Su Jinse had indeed fallen to the ground, with a feathered arrow sticking out of her back, blood had already stained her back red.
The galloping car stopped suddenly in front of the villa, and the horse raised its front hooves high and let out a long neigh.
Su Jinse jumped out of the carriage, took off a jasper bracelet from her wrist and threw it to the coachman, then ran towards the gate.Seeing this, the six or seven gatekeepers panicked.The leading sergeant stepped forward to stop him: "Miss Su, you can't go in."
"Presumptuous! Do you even dare to stop me?!" Su Jinse showed the prestige of a hostess.
"You little ones don't dare." The sergeant said, "Please wait here for a while, let the little ones go in and report."
"It's a joke! I'm looking for Your Highness, and I want you to report?!" Su Jinse glared angrily, "Get out of the way!"
The sergeant was stunned, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Taking advantage of this gap, Su Jinse swayed past him, brushed past other soldiers, and ran into the gate as if flying.The leading sergeant hurriedly called several people to chase after him.
At the same time that Su Jinse forced his way into the villa, a silent killing had already begun in the east wing next to the main hall: Du Chuke put strong poison in the food and drinks of Wang Hongyi's entourage, and the seven or eight burly men faced the fine wine He completely relaxed his vigilance for the delicious food, so he let go of his stomach to eat and drink, but just after eating half of it, all the seven orifices bleed, and they all fell to death.
Du Chuke looked coldly at the corpses lying all over the floor, with a sinister smile on his face.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and a sergeant rushed in, out of breath, and said, "Du Changshi, no... no, Miss Su...she broke in!"
Du Chuke was taken aback for a moment, then sneered silently, waved his hand, and strode out with a dozen or so soldiers in the room.
As soon as Su Jinse ran to the gate of the second courtyard, she was blocked by the guards here. Together with the three sergeants who chased after her, six or seven people immediately surrounded her.Su Jinse was anxious and annoyed, so she pulled out the dagger in her sleeve and pointed at them: "Get out of the way, or don't blame me for turning my face and denying people!"
The leading sergeant knew that she didn't know martial arts, so he smiled: "Miss Su, you are a noble person, don't learn how to use knives and swords like us rough people, if you hurt yourself, the little ones can't bear it." rise."
Su Jin was furious, and suddenly put the dagger across her neck: "You are right, so I advise you to get out of the way obediently!"
The sergeants didn't expect her to make this move, and they were stunned.
Su Jinse immediately shook off them and ran into the courtyard.However, she didn't run very far before she stopped abruptly.
Du Chuke came out with a dozen or so soldiers with gloomy faces, just in time to block her way.
The two looked at each other, and the meaning of the contest was exactly the same as the scene in Wei Wangfu the day before yesterday.
At this moment, on the back hill of Zangfeng Mountain Villa, one of Wei Laoliu's subordinates was climbing on a cypress tree to observe. He vaguely saw the scene of the confrontation in the courtyard. Jumped up and down.
Kazuki's snow fell rustlingly from his shock.
"Zuoshi, it's too bad, Missy is surrounded by people!" Wei Laoliu, who was not far away from his subordinate, shouted in a low voice.
Wei Laoliu frowned, and walked over quickly: "How is it possible? Are you reading that right?"
"Absolutely, it's Missy, surrounded by Du Chuke and his gang, something is wrong!"
Wei Laoliu jumped onto a rock, set up an awning with his hands, squinted his eyes, and suddenly changed his face.
In the front yard of the villa, Du Chuke and Su Jinse confronted each other silently for a moment, and said, "Su Jinse, what do you want to do?"
Since she was called by her first name, it meant that Du Chuke didn't take her seriously at all.
Su Jinse realized that it was meaningless to threaten his life in front of him, so he put down the dagger and said coldly: "I still want to ask Du Changshi about this! You and Your Highness invited my father over, what will happen?" What do you want to do?!"
"Su Jinse, you are a prostitute, don't expect to fly on a high branch and become a phoenix." Du Chuke looked contemptuous and ignored her question at all, "Your Highness is going to be the emperor in the future, how can you marry someone like you? It really made you the queen of the world, wouldn't it make the world laugh out loud? Throughout the ages, have you ever heard of a brothel woman as a queen?"
"Du Chuke, I don't need you to worry about the matter between me and Your Highness." Su Jinse showed an indifferent smile, "I never expected Your Highness to be married, let alone expect to be a queen, so you can't talk to me about these boring words! I just want to ask you now, what kind of conspiracy are you and Your Highness playing?!"
"Since you care about Wang Hongyi so much, I might as well tell you the truth." Du Chuke grinned, "Next year today will be the anniversary of Wang Hongyi's death. I was still thinking about how to deal with you, but this is great, you have come here yourself. So, if there is no accident, today is also your death day."
Even though all this had been expected, Su Jinse still couldn't accept this sudden fact.
Even though she already knew that her adoptive father Wang Hongyi and Li Tai would not be able to live in peace until the end, she still didn't expect this day to come so soon!
In any case, the adoptive father has been trying his best to assist Li Tai this year, and he has also helped him a lot. I didn't expect that Li Tai would be so heartless and ungrateful that he would even set up a plot to murder him!
"Du Chuke, if Your Highness thinks my father is useless, we can split up and go our separate ways. There's no need to put people to death, right?"
"One shot and two parts? You put it lightly!" Du Chuke chuckled, "Wang Hongyi has committed many injustices and is full of crimes. He is the number one criminal of the imperial court. His Majesty wants to catch him even in his dreams. As long as His Majesty hand over his head to His Majesty , It is a great achievement. You said, such a good opportunity, will His Highness give up easily? Also, keeping you is a disaster, and it will hurt His Highness sooner or later, so you have to die too. "
"Kill me, how can His Highness spare you?"
Du Chuke laughed loudly: "Su Jinse, don't you think too highly of yourself? I am His Highness's confidant, and I will assist him in enthroning and governing the world in the future, but what are you? Aren't you just a woman who plays the piano and sings? Is it? But there is no shortage of women around His Highness, and even more so when he becomes the emperor in the future! Even if I kill you now, what can His Highness do to me? At most, he will shed a few tears for you, and he will thank you later I, thank me for eradicating a great hidden danger for him."
Su Jinse smiled bitterly.
She knew that it was useless to say anything now, the most urgent thing was to warn her father immediately!
On the back hill, Wei Laoliu rushed down with a gust of wind, but at a distance of six or seven feet from the west courtyard wall of the villa, a group of men and horses suddenly jumped out of the woods and blocked their way.
They are Lao Gu and Wu Yu's helmsman, as well as the two tea doctors and Linchuan's helmsman, a total of 40 people, which are evenly matched with Wei Laoliu's side.
According to the plan drawn up in advance and Xiao Junmo's instructions, they had ambushed here early this morning, and their task was to intercept Wei Lao Liu.
At such an urgent juncture, Wei Laoliu didn't care who the opponent was, and whoever blocked the way died!
With the knife in his hand, he roared and rushed towards Lao Gu.
The two sides immediately fought into a group.
In the main hall of the villa, Li Tai secretly observed Wang Hongyi while chatting with him.
Wang Hongyi had already drank four cups, but nothing happened.
After all, he is a person with profound martial arts, an ordinary person can be knocked down in three cups, but he is still sober!
Thinking of this, Li Tai quickly raised the wine cup and began to persuade him to drink again.
Suddenly, Wang Hongyi frowned, rubbed his forehead, and then suddenly looked at Li Tai, his eyes full of suspicion.At this moment, the sound of fighting outside the courtyard wall on the west came vaguely, and the two attendants outside knocked on the door desperately: "Sir, something seems to happen outside!"
Wang Hongyi understood everything in an instant, and his gaze on Li Tai was as sharp as a knife.
It really is a Hongmen Banquet!
Realizing that he couldn't wait any longer, Li Tai immediately threw the wine cup in his hand on the ground.
As soon as the signal was issued, the four guards outside the door fought with the two followers.But what surprised Li Tai was that Lu Ben behind the screen didn't move at all.
Wang Hongyi put the mask back on, then stood up abruptly.
Maybe it was because the action was too violent, the effect of the sweat medicine suddenly broke out at this moment.Wang Hongyi held his head, his body began to shake, and the scene in front of him became blurred.
"Why?!" Wang Hongyi struggled to escape two words from between his teeth.
"It's very simple, our cooperation is over." Li Tai stood up and said with a blank expression, "Father ordered me to arrest you, I have no choice."
"You...ruthless."
"I don't want to do this either, but I can't help it." Li Tai shrugged, "If I'm not being cruel to you, then I'm being cruel to myself. What we're playing is a life-and-death game, isn't it? Even if I don't kill you today You, when you become the emperor in the future, you will also die, but the emperor forced me to advance this day. After all, you are actually using me. If one day the king fails to win the heir, you will also be relentless Kick me away mercilessly, maybe even kill me, right? Since our mask will be torn off sooner or later, how much difference does it make if we tear it off sooner or later?"
Wang Hongyi stared at Li Tai, then let out a low growl like a beast, and lunged at him with a knife.
Li Taiwan didn't expect that when others were almost down, they could still attack!
"Lu Ben! What are you dawdling about? Come out soon!" Li Tai yelled loudly while pulling away to dodge.
As soon as the words fell, Lu Ben really came out from behind the screen. Unfortunately, he had a knife on his neck.
This is a dragon head knife with a cold light, and the person holding the knife is Xiao Junmo with a smile on his face.
Behind the screen, the ten soldiers squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands. Huan Dieyi, Luo Biao and other Xuanjia guards threatened them with knives.
Wang Hongyi never expected that Xiao Junmo would appear here, but before he had time to react, he fell to the ground and lost consciousness instantly.
In the front yard, Su Jinse held the dagger upright and walked towards Du Chuke step by step with an awe-inspiring expression.
Du Chuke shook his head and sneered, but put his hands behind his back, raised his chin slightly, and waited arrogantly for her to come.
It wasn't until Su Jinse walked three steps away from him that Du Chuke suddenly pulled out the saber from his waist, held it up high, and shouted: "Die!"
Suddenly, Su Jinse raised his left sleeve, and a cloud of dust rushed towards him.Du Chuke was caught off guard, and the dust entered his eyes, causing a sharp pain.At the same time, Su Jinse's dagger stabbed him in the chest.Du Chuke dodged subconsciously, and the dagger slashed across his chest, creating a bloody gash.
Su Jinse learned this trick by accident when she was kidnapped by Doris last year. Although Doris used a hallucinogenic drug and she only used ordinary makeup powder, it still came in handy at the critical moment .
These actions happened in an instant, and when the sergeants on both sides came back to their senses, Su Jinse had already rushed out of their encirclement and ran towards the third courtyard gate.
Du Chuke couldn't open his eyes, so he could only jump up and shout, "Kill her, kill her!"
The sergeants hurried to catch up.
"Send the arrow, release the arrow!"
Du Chuke yelled again.Half of the sergeants under him carried bows and arrows.
Outside the courtyard wall on the west side, people from both sides fought inextricably.
Although the two sides were equal in number, Wei Laoliu's side had experienced many battles after all, and their kung fu was slightly better, so a dozen people broke through Lao Gu's defense line and entered the courtyard over the wall.
Wei Laoliu also wanted to get rid of it all the time, but he was entangled tightly by Lao Gu and his subordinates, and he couldn't get away.
The dozen or so people climbed over the courtyard wall, but they didn't expect to meet another group of stronger opponents as soon as they landed.
They are Chu Lisang, Xi Yan and Donggu Duo's subordinates.
Since there are many mountain pines and cypresses and rocks of various sizes preserved in the courtyard of Zangfeng Mountain Villa, it is easy to hide, so Chu Lisang and others have already ambushed in.
These people who managed to kill them almost became the prey of Chu Lisang and others, and within a short while, most of them fell into a pool of blood.Chu Lisang was about to finish off the remaining few when he suddenly heard the sharp sound of arrows piercing the air behind him.
Chu Lisang turned his head suddenly, only to see Su Jinse stumbling in, with six or seven archers chasing after him.
How could she be here, and still be hunted down by the people of Prince Wei's mansion? !
Chu Lisang only hesitated for a moment, then rushed over.
Although she has never liked this "sister", the situation in front of her does not allow her to do nothing.
"Lie down! Jinse, get down quickly!" Chu Lisang shouted while running towards her.
However, Su Jinse turned a deaf ear and ran straight to the entrance of the main hall.
In an instant, Chu Lisang rushed to her side.Another wave of sharp arrows came roaring, Chu Lisang waved his knife to block, and shouted without turning his head: "Su Jinse, are you crazy? Find a place to hide!"
Su Jinse behind him didn't answer.
Chu Lisang vaguely heard her run a few more steps, then slowed down, and finally fell to the ground with a thumping sound.Chu Lisang hurriedly turned her head, her heart sank suddenly - Su Jinse had indeed fallen to the ground, with a feathered arrow sticking out of her back, blood had already stained her back red.
But Su Jinse, regardless of her injuries, still supported herself with both hands, struggling to crawl forward.
At the entrance of the main hall, Wang Hongyi's two attendants and Li Tai's four guards were lying dead or injured on the steps.Su Jinse had seen it when she rushed in just now, and of course she could guess what happened in the main hall.
There is no need to warn at this time, but Su Jinse is still eager to know the safety of her adoptive father...
In the main hall, Li Tai looked at Xiao Junmo in astonishment, and held back a word after a while: "Xiao Junmo? Why are you here?!"
"Wang Hongyi is full of tricks. The Holy Majesty was afraid that His Highness might make a mistake, so he ordered this guard to help His Highness." Xiao Junmo smiled, "Xiao followed the rules of this guard, came uninvited, and did not notify His Highness in advance. Disrespectful, I hope His Highness will forgive you."
Before dawn this morning, Xiao Junmo sneaked into Zangfeng Mountain Villa with Huan Dieyi, Luo Biao and others, and hid on the beam at the back of the main hall.Just now, Lu Ben and his subordinates were paying attention to Wang Hongyi nervously, and they didn't even notice that there were more than a dozen Xuanjia guards hiding above their heads, until Xiao Junmo and others quietly put the knife on their necks.
Li Tai seemed to understand something, and a look of horror appeared in his eyes: "You really obeyed the order of the emperor?"
"How can it be false to do an errand?" Xiao Junmo still smiled.
Li Tai's brain started to work rapidly.
What he said to Wang Hongyi just now undoubtedly fell into Xiao Junmo's ears. If he was allowed to bring the living Wang Hongyi to his father again, he would be finished!So, no matter what, you can't let him take people away!Wang Hongyi had to be killed, so that there would be no evidence against him. Even if Xiao Junmo went to report to his father afterwards, it would only be a one-sided statement, and he would still have a chance to defend himself.Taking a step back, even if the father clearly knows the truth, as long as he still cares about the relationship between father and son, he can help him hide the truth like the Li Feng case last time, but the premise is of course——Wang Hongyi must never appear alive in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty !
Having made up his mind, Li Tai immediately darkened his face and put on the air of a prince: "General Xiao, since you came to help me according to the order of my father and emperor, now that the criminals have been captured, you are pointing a knife at me. What is the meaning of the king's subordinates?"
"Xiao is afraid that General Lu will be impulsive and kill the prisoner, so how can he report to the Holy One?" Xiao Junmo said, put the knife into the sheath, and patted Lu Ben on the shoulder, "It's all right now. General Lu, what's the matter?" Offended."
Lu Ben glared at him bitterly, but didn't speak.
"Brothers, you can come out now." Xiao Junmo said towards the back of the screen, "Take the prisoner away and go back to meet the Holy Master."
Huan Dieyi, Luo Biao and more than a dozen Xuanjia guards came out immediately.Luo Biao winked at his subordinates, and the two soldiers immediately stepped forward to set up Wang Hongyi. "Wait a minute!" Li Tai said loudly, "General Xiao, arresting Wang Hongyi is an errand entrusted to me by my father. You are just cooperating with me. Now that the operation is over, you can leave. I will handle it myself. "
"Your Highness, there is a lot of killing outside now, don't you want to go out and see what's going on?" Xiao Junmo said calmly, "Wang Hongyi has many minions, and they must be robbing people right now. If my brothers and I let go at this time, don't Talking about the safety of criminals, even Your Highness’s safety may be a problem, right?”
Li Tai and Lu Ben looked at each other.
Of course they had heard the sound of fighting outside, but they just had no time to take care of it.Hearing what Xiao Junmo said at this moment, Li Tai was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do next.
Outside the main hall, Xi Yan and his men had already dealt with the enemies on the west courtyard wall, and immediately rushed over to help Chu Lisang, fighting with the archers and the soldiers who arrived later.But the latter was obviously not an opponent, and quickly retreated.Xi Yan and others chased after them while fighting.
Chu Lisang ran over, helped Su Jinse up, and carefully broke off the arrow shaft inserted into her back, then inspected the wound, and immediately frowned.
Su Jinse looked at her and smiled sadly: "Li Sang, are you... are you here to save father?"
Chu Lisang's heart sank again: "No, I'm here to catch him."
"It doesn't matter if you save her or catch her..." Su Jinse's face was pale and very weak, "Li Sang, help Dad get out of here quickly, the sooner the better."
"You're already like this, and you still think about him?" Chu Lisang said angrily, and hugged her up, "Go, I'll take you down the mountain."
Su Jinse was paralyzed all over and couldn't stand up at all.Chu Lisang wanted to carry her on his back, but she didn't cooperate and slipped to the ground again.Chu Lisang was angry and anxious: "Do you want to die that much? No one can save you like this!"
"Don't save me, save father..." Su Jin was as angry as a thread.
"Don't worry, he'll be fine." Chu Lisang's mood became extremely complicated in an instant.
An adopted daughter who has no blood relationship is willing to give up her life for him, which is enough to prove that Wang Hongyi has given her a deep father's love over the years.And this paternal love should have been enjoyed by Chu Lisang, but he transferred this love to Su Jinse only because of good fortune.
"Li Sang, no matter how different paths you take from Dad, he is your father after all..." Su Jinse exhausted her last breath of energy, "Dad has his reasons and difficulties in doing things. Listen to what my sister says, and you will be fine." If you refuse to recognize him, don't regard your father as an enemy..."
"Stop talking..." Chu Lisang's eyes turned red, "Come with me, or you will die!"
At this moment, the door of the main hall opened abruptly, Xiao Junmo, Li Tai and a large group of people rushed out, and two Xuanjia guards supported the unconscious Wang Hongyi on the left and right.
Li Tai saw Su Jinse lying on the ground at a glance, and was stunned, then rushed over recklessly, helped her up, and said in a trembling voice: "Jinse, you...why are you here? Why are you like this? !"
Su Jinse looked at him with blank eyes, and said in a voice like a gnat, "Your Highness, let my father go..."
Li Tai supported her back, feeling the warmth of his palm, and pulled it out to see that it was covered with blood.With red eyes, he choked up and said, "Jinse, who did this? Tell me."
"Your Highness, please, let my father go..." Su Jinse still stubbornly repeated these words.
Xiao Junmo subconsciously looked at Chu Lisang, their eyes were full of sadness.
At this time, outside the courtyard wall on the west side, Lao Gu and others who were already injured were fighting and retreating. Firstly, Xiao Junmo had explained in advance that they only need to hold Wei Laoliu for a while, and they must not love to fight; If it is not Wei Laoliu's opponent, if the fight continues, the whole army will only be wiped out.
Wei Laoliu was in a hurry to enter the villa to rescue Wang Hongyi, so he had no intention of pursuing him, so he let Lao Gu and the others evacuate, and immediately took the remaining dozen of his men over the courtyard wall.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Wang Hongyi was unconscious and captured, and Su Jinse was dying. Wei Laoliu's blood rushed up immediately, and he roared angrily: "Li Tai, you treacherous villain! Let me go, or I will kill you with my own hands! "
Li Tai embraced the dying Su Jinse with tears streaming down his face, turning a blind eye to everything around him and turning a deaf ear to it.
Wei Laoliu was furious, and led his men to kill him.
Lu Ben and all the soldiers hurried forward to meet the enemy.
Xiao Junmo seized the opportunity and gave Huan Dieyi and Luo Biao a wink.Luo Biao immediately led people to support Wang Hongyi and evacuated to the back door of the villa in the southeast corner, but Huan Dieyi stood still.
She glanced at Chu Lisang, and said to Xiao Junmo: "Brother, this Tibetan Wind Villa is so lively today, it seems that there are several groups of people following your command, can I ask who they are?"
"Friends in the rivers and lakes." Xiao Junmo replied lightly.In fact, he has already thought about it, and when necessary, he will confess everything to Huan Dieyi, and he believes that she will understand him.
"Our Xuanjiawei is ordered to arrest imperial court criminals, why do you let people from the Jianghu intervene?" Huan Dieyi looked at him closely, "Let me dare to guess, are your so-called Jianghu friends from the Tianxing League?" people?"
"Dieyi, now is not the time to explain this." Xiao Junmo met her gaze, "Trust me, I will tell you everything when today's matter is over, okay?"
Huan Dieyi looked at him for a while, then snorted coldly, turned his face away, and said coldly: "Chu Lisang, long time no see, do you still remember our agreement?"
The so-called agreement is that the two will have a good fight to decide the winner.
"Of course I remember." Chu Lisang smiled faintly, "Team Ruohuan is... no, if the Commander-in-Chief Ruohuan is interested, I will accompany you at any time."
Xiao Junmo couldn't understand what they were talking about, so he couldn't help frowning slightly.
"Okay, then you wait, I will come to you!" Huan Dieyi dropped this sentence, and then chased in the direction where Luo Biao and the others were evacuating.
Xiao Junmo looked at Chu Lisang inexplicably, his eyes filled with doubts.
At this moment, Su Jinse's eyes were tightly closed, and she remained motionless in Li Tai's arms.Chu Lisang looked at Su Jinse for the last time with tears in his eyes, walked up to Xiao Junmo, and said, "You don't need to ask, this is between me and Huan Dieyi, it has nothing to do with you."
Xiao Junmo smiled bitterly: "Okay, I won't ask."
The terrain of Zhongnan Mountain is high and the climate is changeable. The sky was clear and bright just now, but now it is gloomy.After a while, pattering raindrops and swirling snowflakes fell at the same time.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Jinse woke up slowly, her eyes suddenly brightened again.Li Tai was overjoyed, and tried to hug her up: "Jinse, let's go down the mountain, I will find the best doctor to treat your injury, you will be fine..."
Su Jinse grabbed Li Tai's hand: "Your Highness, don't bother me, let me say a few words to you."
Li Tai realized that she was probably returning to the light, and couldn't help but shed tears again.
"Your Highness, Jinse is content to meet you in this life, and she will die in your arms in the end, and Jinse will have no regrets." Su Jinse smiled brightly, and in her eyes, she and Li Tai met for the first time in Qihuang Pavilion. "Your Highness, Jinse is gone, take good care of yourself. In the next life, if you see a woman who plays and sings "Mi Li", it will be me. You must recognize her, Your Highness?"
With tears streaming down his face, Li Tai could only nod his head desperately, but couldn't say a word.
"The millet is separated, the reality of the millet. Walking is sloppy, the center is shaking. Those who know me say that my heart is worried; those who don't know me say what I want..."
Su Jinse read slowly, her voice getting smaller and smaller...
But Li Tai clearly heard a burst of heavenly singing sounding in his ears.This song is so beautiful and desolate, so vast and so far away, it first surrounds Li Tai, then hovers over the courtyard, then slowly resounds throughout the entire Bixiao Peak, and finally in the mountains of Zhongnan Mountain Echoing for a long time...
The rain and snow are getting heavier and heavier, and the surrounding area is misty.
Li Tai hugged Su Jinse, who was getting colder, and let the snow and rain mixed with tears flow on his face.
The battle not far away also came to an end at this time.Lu Ben was no match for Wei Lao Liu, and most of his sergeants were quickly lost.Seeing that he couldn't hold it any longer, Lu Ben had no choice but to retreat to Li Tai's side, ordered someone to forcibly lift him up, and ordered someone to carry Su Jinse's body on his back, and then retreated in a hurry towards the gate of the villa.
Wei Laoliu just saw Wang Hongyi being taken away by Xuanjiawei with his own eyes. He had no intention of fighting, so he led his men to chase after him through the back door in the southeast corner.
On the mountain road a few miles away from the Zangfeng Mountain Villa, a large group of flying cavalry braved the rain, snow and wind to come swiftly.
The leader is Pei Tinglong.
His eyes were burning with raging anger, as if he wanted to ignite everything within his sight.
Taking advantage of King Wei's arrest of Wang Hongyi, Li Shiji completely kept him in the dark, and secretly handed over the task to Xiao Junmo. This is simply blatantly ignoring his existence!
Early this morning, Pei Tinglong had nothing to do, so he went to Shangshu Province to look for his uncle, grandson Wuji. Unexpectedly, as soon as his eldest grandson saw him, he asked, "Is Wang Hongyi under arrest?"
"Wang Hongyi?" Pei Tinglong looked confused, "What Wang Hongyi?"
Changsun Wuji didn't know whether to laugh or cry at once, so he told about the emperor ordered Wei Wang to trap Wang Hongyi and at the same time asked Xuanjiawei to act secretly, and then squinted and said: "You are also Xuanjiawei's right general after all, such a big thing I don’t know anything, let me tell you what’s good about you!”
Immediately, Pei Tinglong felt as if he had been slapped in the face, his face was hot, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground to get in.
Afterwards, Pei Tinglong immediately rushed back to Xuanjiawei and questioned Li Shiji unceremoniously.
Li Shiji let him go crazy, and then said slowly: "Pei Tinglong, whoever you want to send to perform any task is within the scope of my authority. You, a mere right general, dare to roar in front of me, don't you want to do it? ? If you are tired of staying in this guard, just tell me, I will help you find a better place; , Fifth Prison, where you fall in love with, I have no control over you!"
Pei Tinglong's face turned red and turned white, but he didn't dare to make a mistake after all, so he came out angrily, and immediately found six or seven generals, brigade commanders, etc. who usually flattered him, and asked Xiao Junmo where he was going.
Some of these people knew a little bit, and some didn't know anything, so they had to go back and ask someone.After tossing around like this for a long time, he finally pieced together an accurate piece of information from scattered clues. It can be confirmed that Xiao Junmo only brought Huan Dieyi, Luo Biao and a dozen of his confidants to Mount Zhongnan.
"Mt. Zhongnan stretches for hundreds of miles, and there are over a hundred peaks, large and small. Where do you ask me to find them?!"
Pei Tinglong was furious, and felt that this information was as if there was no information.
The subordinates hurriedly analyzed it again, and finally someone said: King Wei recently built an annex on Bixiao Peak in Zhongnan Mountain.
That's it!
With a flash of inspiration in Pei Tinglong's mind, he immediately summoned Xue An, Pei San and other 70 or [-] confidantes, and specially brought dozens of lethal crossbows, and rushed towards Zangfeng Mountain Villa like crazy ...
The rain and snow were getting heavier and heavier, and the visibility on the mountain was getting lower and lower, and it was impossible to see anything three feet away, but Pei Tinglong still galloped fiercely.Xue An, who followed closely behind, was very worried and advised him to ride slower several times, but Pei Tinglong turned a deaf ear to him.
A group of people quickly circled a mountain corner.
Pei Tinglong just whipped the horse's buttocks hard, but in the rain and fog, a group of horses and horses galloped towards him, and the two sides almost collided.Fortunately, he reacted quickly and quickly pulled the horse's head away. Coupled with the opponent's slow speed, he could barely avoid it—the two horses almost brushed past each other, which shocked Pei Tinglong into a cold sweat.
Taking a closer look, the other rider turned out to be Luo Biao!
Luo Biao opened his mouth to scold someone, but when he saw it was him, he hurriedly dismounted to meet him, and apologized repeatedly.
Pei Tinglong didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so he asked, "Where is Xiao Junmo?"
"Back to the right general, the left general has other important matters, so he didn't go with his subordinates." Luo Biao replied.
"Where's Wang Hongyi? Have you caught him?"
"Caught."
Pei Tinglong cursed in his heart - Xiao Junmo took the lead again!
"Where are the people?"
As soon as the words fell, Huan Dieyi and all the soldiers came over with a carriage.When everyone saw him, they got off their horses and saluted.
Pei Tinglong stared at the carriage, and snorted coldly: "A thieves in the ocean, a criminal committed by the imperial court, how can you give him this kind of courtesy?"
"General Pei doesn't know something." Huan Dieyi said, "Wang Hongyi was drugged by King Wei and fell into a coma, so he had to be escorted by car."
Only then was Pei Tinglong speechless, and immediately got off his horse, walked to the front of the carriage, and opened the curtain.
A middle-aged man was lying on the car seat, his limbs were bound, and he was still unconscious.What interested Pei Tinglong was that this man was wearing a strangely shaped bronze mask on his face.
Pei Tinglong had read the dossiers about Wang Hongyi before, and knew that this guy codenamed "Ming Zang" always liked to wear a mask and rarely showed his true colors.
He pulled out his saber and lifted the mask, revealing the man's face.
Huan Dieyi, who was standing aside, looked at it, and suddenly showed an expression of disbelief, and almost cried out.
An hour ago, when she was lying in ambush on the beam of the main hall of the villa, she saw Wang Hongyi take off the mask with her own eyes, and saw his face clearly, but the face in front of her was completely unfamiliar, it was not the Wang Hongyi who was captured in the villa at all. !
What exactly is going on?When was the prisoner transferred?
Huan Dieyi suddenly remembered that after everyone withdrew from the back door of the villa, they met at the edge of a birch forest in the east, and he arrived one step later than Luo Biao and the others.At that time, Luo Biao had already loaded the criminals into a carriage that had been prepared, and then Xiao Junmo arrived, whispered to Luo Biao a few times, and left with Chu Lisang.And she, Luo Biao and others led the carriage down the mountain.From the beginning to the end, she never thought of lifting the mask to confirm the criminal, but she was transferred!
Now it seems that this matter must have been arranged by Xiao Junmo in advance, and his accomplice and executor is Luo Biao!
Huan Dieyi couldn't help turning his head and staring at Luo Biao fiercely.
Luo Biao quickly looked left and right.
Pei Tinglong noticed Huan Dieyi's expression was different, so he asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, it's just dying of cold!" Huan Dieyi shivered, "General Pei stared at the prisoner like this, and he can't see anything. My subordinates suggest that you should take him back for interrogation."
"No rush." Pei Tinglong smiled meaningfully, and turned his head to give Xue An a wink.
After a while, Xue An brought a person up from the back of the line.The man's head was covered with a black cloak, and his head was still lowered, so he couldn't see his face clearly.He walked past Huan Dieyi and stood in front of the carriage, obviously trying to identify "Wang Hongyi".
Huan Dieyi's heart was pounding, and she subconsciously glanced at Luo Biao.At this time, Luo Biao was no longer calm, and there was a nervous look in his eyes.
After the man finished reading, he shook his head at Pei Tinglong.
Huan Dieyi sighed in his heart: Xiao Junmo, Xiao Junmo, look at what you have done!
Pei Tinglong's face darkened, he immediately turned around, and said sharply, "Xue An!"
"exist."
"Take Huan Dieyi and Luo Biao for me!"
Xue An, Pei San and dozens of people immediately drew their swords out of their sheaths, and surrounded Huan Dieyi and a dozen others.Huan Dieyi closed his eyes helplessly and remained motionless.With an innocent face, Luo Biao protested loudly: "General You, what are you doing? Why are you arresting us for no reason?"
"No reason?" Pei Tinglong sneered, "You transferred such an important criminal as Wang Hongyi, how dare you say no reason?"
"Change the bag? What kind of bag?" Luo Biao continued to play dumb, "The subordinates don't understand what the general is saying."
"The person in the car is not Wang Hongyi at all!" Pei Tinglong changed color suddenly, "How dare you pretend to be a fool with me?!"
Luo Biao was at a loss for words, and subconsciously looked at the mysterious man in the cloak.
Seeing this, Pei Tinglong couldn't help but sneered: "I'm curious, right? You must be wondering who this guy is. Why did you say that the person in the car wasn't Wang Hongyi after just one glance?"
Luo Biao was speechless.
"Forget it, I just want to satisfy your curiosity." Pei Tinglong said, turning his face to the mysterious man, "Come on, let them see who you are."
Huan Dieyi couldn't help opening his eyes when he heard it.
Hearing this, the mysterious man slowly took off the cloak on his head, and a familiar face appeared in front of everyone.
Xie Ji.
He is Xie Ji, the owner of the Fulitang Restaurant in Jiangling City and the leader of the Echo Rudder of the Tianxing League!
Huan Dieyi and Luo Biao suddenly realized, and couldn't help but look at each other.
"What else can I say now?" Pei Tinglong sneered, "I didn't wrong you, did I?"
"General Pei, this subordinate has something to say." Huan Dieyi suddenly said.
Pei Tinglong looked at her in surprise: "Say."
"Even if the person in the car is not Wang Hongyi, it has nothing to do with General Zuo, me, and Lushuai Luo." Huan Dieyi expressed calmly, "Because this is the person we captured in His Royal Highness Wei Wang's annex. If he If it's really not Wang Hongyi, then at best we can only say that our mission failed, and we are willing to accept the relevant punishment. But if you want to charge us with the crime of subcontracting, please forgive me for not accepting it!"
Hearing this, Luo Biao immediately lifted his spirits: "That's right, I have never seen what Wang Hongyi looks like, neither Lu Shuai Huan nor I, so how do we know that this guy is not him? If you want to pursue responsibility, you can only go to His Royal Highness King Wei Chase, it's not our turn!"
"Shut up!" Pei Tinglong was furious, "Haven't you two met Wang Hongyi, and Xiao Junmo? Didn't Xiao Junmo bring you to arrest him just now at the Zangfeng Mountain Villa?"
"General Pei, please calm down." Huan Dieyi took the words again, "It was indeed General Xiao who led us to arrest him, but at that time this guy was wearing a mask, and the scene was chaotic, General Xiao was negligent for a while, so he didn't take it off." Confirmation under the mask. This is a mistake at best, but there is nothing to say about the package."
"Up to now, you are still arguing for Xiao Junmo!" Pei Tinglong sneered loudly, "What a shrewd person Xiao Junmo is, how can he make such a low-level mistake? If he is such an idiot, why did he escape from us again and again last year? Why did you suddenly change from a fugitive to General Xuanjiawei Zuo?!"
"General Pei's words are wrong." Huan Dieyi said lightly, "No matter how shrewd a person is, don't they sometimes get confused?"
"Enough! I don't have time to listen to your nonsense now!" Pei Tinglong sternly said, "I have already seen that Xiao Junmo is a member of the Tianxing League, that's why he played today's trick. I'm sure that he and Wang Hongyi It must not be far away now, it is in this mountain!"
"Excuse me, this is just your guess..."
"Whether it's a guess or not, we can confirm it right away." Pei Tinglong interrupted her coldly, "How about Dieyi, you all come with me, I'll let you see with your own eyes whether Wang Hongyi was rescued by Xiao Junmo."
This is of course what Huan Dieyi wants to prove most now.
"Okay, let's go." Huan Dieyi said, deliberately glanced at Luo Biao.
Luo Biao felt guilty and quickly lowered his head.
Xue An and others stepped forward, unloaded their weapons, and then sandwiched them in the middle of the team, and the group went on the road again.Pei Tinglong casually ordered four soldiers, and ordered them, together with Xie Ji, to escort the fake Wang Hongyi back to Xuanjiawei with his car.
After setting off on the road, Huan Dieyi rode close to Luo Biao and said in a low voice, "What kind of tricks are you and Jun Mo playing?"
Luo Biao scratched his head: "This...it's a long story."
Huan Dieyi snorted coldly: "It doesn't matter, the mountain road is also very long, we have plenty of time, you take your time."
Luo Biao thought for a while, then chuckled: "Well, it's better...it's better for General Xiao to tell you himself."
"You—" Huan Dieyi glared angrily.
Luo Biao quickly lifted the reins, gave a "drive", and the mount jumped out immediately.
"You asked Huan Dieyi and the others to bet on a counterfeit product, can you fool the emperor?"
At this moment, on another mountain path on the east side of Bixiao Peak, Chu Lisang and Xiao Junmo walked side by side, followed by Xi Yan, Lao Gu and others, and Lao Gu and many of his subordinates had died.There was also a carriage in the middle of the team, and the real Wang Hongyi was lying in this carriage.
Hearing Chu Lisang's question, Xiao Junmo smiled faintly: "I never intended to deceive the emperor."
Chu Lisang frowned slightly, becoming more and more puzzled.
"I did this because I had to do it." Xiao Junmo continued to explain, "If we want to rob Wang Hongyi, we must get a counterfeit to go back to the job. Of course I know that no one can hide this matter, let alone, Jiangling City That Xie Ji has always been in the hands of Pei Tinglong, as soon as he comes out to recognize someone, the matter will be revealed. But even so, no one dared to say that I transferred the bag. I can say that this person was arrested from King Wei. Therefore, even if the emperor suspects it in his heart, he can only blame me in the name of dereliction of duty."
"Isn't that also punishable?"
"Of course. Penalties and demotions are all the meaning of the question." Xiao Junmo smiled indifferently, "Anyway, I don't like money, and I don't like being an official. What's the harm to me? Besides, my head This third-grade black yarn was originally a special blessing, and it’s nothing to take it back now.”
Chu Lisang felt a little relieved when he saw his calm face, and then thought of something: "By the way, if you asked Luo Biao to cooperate with you in the transfer, do you have to tell him everything in advance?"
"I only said that I found my biological mother, but she was arrested by Wang Hongyi, so I had to exchange Wang Hongyi for my mother. As for the rest, I didn't say anything."
"Then... what about Huan Dieyi? Have you been keeping her in the dark?" Chu Lisang asked again.
Xiao Junmo smiled bitterly: "It's not so simple to explain this to her... So, I have to keep it from her."
Chu Lisang knew that the reason why Xiao Junmo kept hiding it from Huan Dieyi was because he didn't want to involve her.In other words, he has always loved this junior sister very much.However, is this love pure brother-sister love, or does it mean something else?
Thinking of this, Chu Lisang's mood suddenly became gloomy.
