Princess Fuyao

Chapter 71

Dahu, the bridegroom officer, also charged forward, just in time to see a guy pointing at Yinhu with a crossbow in a tree next to him, he roared and flew towards Yinhu, and both of them fell from the tree.

Someone pointed an arrow at Dug's back, Fuyao raised her hand, and wanted to shoot the arrow shaft with the sleeve arrow, but she didn't know exactly, it was just a kind of instinct, unexpectedly the sleeve arrow brushed the arrow shaft and went away, slightly swaying the arrow. The shot missed a bit, and shot down close to the tiger's side. The guy under his feet was hit straight. The crossbow in his hand fell first, and was caught in time. He immediately changed the target and shot towards the tree. .

Fuyao put the sleeve arrow on the spring and inserted the iron dart, imitating Yinhu's appearance, but he swung a thick apron in his hand. Yinhu cleaned up the assassins tree by tree, and the big tiger was afraid Fuyao made a mistake, so he jumped up and rushed to the front, wanting to use his body to protect Fuyao.

The man in green found that Yinhu was the leader of the group, whistled, and aimed at him, trying to make a last-ditch effort. Although there was a tree shade blocking Fuyao, Fuyao couldn't see it clearly, but her intuition made all the hairs on her body stand out. stand up.

"Be careful!" Fuyao shouted.

Yinhu was still jumping among the trees, but when he heard the sound, he jumped up suddenly, only heard the sound of swishing, and the leaves were shot down by these arrowheads.Du Hu only felt the wind rustling above his head, and he quickly retracted his neck, and an arrow was nailed to a tree trunk on one side with a whistling sound.

Before those killers put arrows on the crossbow again, the sleeve arrows of Fuyao, Duhu and Yinhu showed their strength together, and men in green clothes fell from the trees one after another. The opponents couldn't see the crossbows in their hands, but saw them wave their hands It was just a person, terrified, jumped off the tree with a whistling sound, and ran into the flowers not far away, only to see the branches and leaves fluttering there, and soon returned to tranquility.

The wedding could not be carried out. Yinhu commanded the troops and divided them into four groups.Six people guarded the perimeter of the garden, two people went to report to General Guo, and four people each went to the Li family and the Ji family to see if the two sides were safe.

This kind of attack is obviously aimed at them, the opponent will not disperse their forces, and then deal with a few unarmed women, children and the elderly.Sure enough, the people who went to Li's and Ji's came back soon, and everything was fine on both sides.

Mao Guogong was dragged by Yinhu to the city defense Weisi, not to mention the garden was tightly sealed, and the gate of the city was guarded, looking for archers with calluses on their thumbs.

No one thought that this place turned out to be the home of King Fu's little sister.Yinhu led people to enter the garden through the gate, but the housekeeper stopped him coldly at the gate: "I will tell the princess before making a decision."

King Fu has four sisters in total, two of them are siblings with his mother, and they are Miss Wang's wife. One of them entered the palace and is now the imperial concubine. , married King Xungui Ying, and became the current princess of the British Palace.

When the county magistrate Shihua heard that the Guo family had brought soldiers to search her most cherished garden, she raised her hand angrily and threw the magenta-bottomed porcelain teacup with a picture of hundreds of flowers on the ground.This is the porcelain specially fired by the official kiln for her to be made the county head, and it is the only one in the whole Yong Dynasty.

The teacup rolled around on the thick floor stand, but it was intact. The dowry mother who was serving was doing the best for the master, while beckoning the little maid to put the teacup away quickly.

"Tell me that if they dare to enter the garden, they will step over me. This is contempt for the court!"

The housekeeper came out to convey the words of his master, thinking that the other party would retreat and had to leave here, but he didn't expect Yinhu to deliberately fight against King Fu, wishing for such an opportunity.

"Contempt the court? What a big tone. Your family is just a sister and niece from her natal family who entered the palace and became nobles. She also considers herself a nobleman? Get out of the way!"

Although the butler was timid, he was used to bullying others, so he was not willing to let go of his airs, and still held his head up, looking at people with his nostrils.

Yinhu raised his foot, and kicked the butler more than a foot away before he could use any force. Several servants at the door rushed up, trying to show off their prestige, but Cheng Ke let him yell: "Get out!"

All of them turned pale with fright, as if they had been immobilized, their feet stopped in unison.

"You, tell your Princess Ying, if you are not convinced, just go to the palace to complain, we are the subordinates of Duke Mao." Yinhu pointed to one of the servants and said, that person rolled and crawled to the second gate. .

"Lead the way and enter the garden of your house, otherwise we bump into the house and hurt someone's dignity. I think your crime is even greater."

Cheng Kerang picked up the housekeeper who was trembling with anger or fright, and motioned him to lead the way.

The old British king who the princess of Shihua county married has died long ago. She only gave birth to two daughters. One is married, and the other has married a poor son in the mansion. It is an ornament that can vent.

This is a courtyard with four entrances. People along the way have already avoided it, and it is quiet and no one is there.Ever since the killer hid in the garden, Yinhu arranged people to watch around, and did not see them entering the inner house. Unless these people can escape, they should still be hiding in the garden.

In the capital, every inch of land is precious, and there is such a big garden here. The plants are luxuriant and lush, and the green trees are green and scattered. Especially the new branches that only come out in spring are more fresh, lovely, and delicate.

There are already many flower buds on the branches, and a bright red color can't be restrained. It should be so pleasant to wander among them.

Fuyao, who followed Yinhu in, didn't see these red flowers, willows and greenery at all, and his eyes were fixed on the ground.

Messy footsteps, when they arrived at an arch made of honeysuckle, they miraculously disappeared completely. The soil over there was soft and moist, and fine grass poked out small heads from the black soil, revealing their yellow, tender and delicate Cute and graceful.

Can these people disappear out of thin air?

The housekeeper of the King's Palace finally came to his senses: "Who trampled on the garden like this?"

"Thief!" Cheng Kerang stared round his big leopard eyes, "Say! Where is the thief hiding in your mansion?"

"There are no thieves in our house!" The housekeeper jumped angrily, "You must be the ones trying to frame him!"

"Hmph! What else in your mansion is worth framing!" Yinhu said coldly, speaking to the butler who was once again arrogant, like a mangy dog ​​with a broken spine.

That's right, apart from the princess, no one in the palace of the King of England has a imperial edict. The young son born to the eldest lady, the princess of England entered the palace to beg several times, and the emperor didn't let him inherit the title of king of England. The wealth of this family, Seeing that it has been decapitated.

Hitting people without slapping people in the face, cursing people without revealing faults, the housekeeper felt that Yinhu did it on purpose, he just opened his mouth to accuse Yinhu of bullying the orphans and widows of this family, but was kicked on the leg by Cheng Kerang: "Stand aside. "

Some people are like this, when they see soft hair, they swallow, and when they see hard stubble, they bow down.The housekeeper of the British Palace bared his teeth in pain while obediently standing aside.

Fuyao found a small flower hoe, and dug and beat under the honeysuckle arch.

Yinhu understood what she meant, and waved to Cheng Kerang. Cheng Kerang took the flower hoe in Fuyao's hand, and quickly dug there a foot deep.

Suddenly, the hoe touched the iron and made a dull "boom!" Even the housekeeper's eyes widened in surprise.

At the root of the honeysuckle vine, a circular iron plate more than two feet long was exposed. Cheng Kerang carefully pried it open from one side and uncovered it, revealing a hole below.

"Go down, call out the people inside!" Cheng Kerang threw the butler down as soon as he stretched out his hand, scaring the guy into screaming inside, and soon his voice fell silent.

"People inside, come out!" Cheng Kerang answered in deathly silence.

"Use smoke!" The guy ran to a hut at the back of the garden, where there were a lot of cut branches, which were half-dried in the sun. He hugged him, took out flint and tinder, and quickly raised a build a fire.

The half-dry fire produced a puff of thick black smoke. Cheng Kerang found a wooden dustpan and fanned it into the hole.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Someone was coughing desperately. Before the people above had time to be happy, they heard the voice of the butler, and that guy came out covered in dirt.

"Stop fanning me, I'm choking to death!"

"Is there anyone else inside?" Cheng Kerang stretched out his hand and pulled the butler out of the palace.

"I can't hear the sound, so I guess there is no one there. The tunnel is small, dark, and very wet. Where can I hide?"

As soon as Cheng Kerang heard this, he immediately threw the guy in again, and slipped out with him.Fuyao was worried, and followed suit.

The inside of the tunnel was really small and dark, so we had to bend down and walk. Fuyao touched the side wall with his hand, and found that the hole was just dug. There was floating soil under the feet, and there were marks of shovels and hoes on the side, and some places were quite smooth. , it feels very solid in the hand, unlike the time-honored one, which has a floating layer of soil on it.

The exit of the tunnel is in a small courtyard outside the garden wall. Here, you can still see the excavated floating soil piled up in a corner of the courtyard.

"What kind of place is this?" Fuyao asked.

The butler looked around in a daze, and suddenly slapped his thigh: "Well, Yang San, I don't want to live anymore."

Before Cheng Kerang's big eyes widened, the housekeeper hurriedly explained: "This is the home of Yang San, the gardener. He sprained his foot not long ago, and now the garden is being taken care of by the newly hired Ma Shiwa."

"What about these two people?"

When Cheng Kerang said this, the butler had already rushed to the house on the north side of the small courtyard, and saw him kick open the broken door: "Ah——"

His frightened voice was full of fear, and both Cheng Kerang and Fuyao ran over.

An old man with gray hair was hanging from the roof beam, his tongue was sticking out and his eyes were staring. Cheng Ke asked him to go up and lift his feet up, and let him down.

Seeing that the man was still soft, Fuyao tried first aid for a while with a glimmer of hope, but it was of no avail. It seemed that the group killed him when they left here.

"The villain!" Fuyao resented, there are two doors in the small courtyard, one leads to the garden, and the door is locked, probably only the female family members of the palace do not go to the garden, and those who have the key will let the flower workers in.

The other door leads directly to a small alley outside. After walking through it, there is another small alley, and then there is Guangji Street, where people come and go, it is really a good route to retreat.

Fuyao checked the door leading to the garden. The stone holding the door underneath had been replaced, or dug up and buried at a lower level. She lifted it with her hand, and the door was removed.

The three of them walked across the garden, Fuyao reported to Yinhu, while Cheng Kerang led someone to force the housekeeper to lead the way to find the new Ma Shiwa.

As a result, it was exactly what Fuyao expected. When people went to the empty house, the servants of the Prince of England replied: "Ma Shiwa said that there is a peony tree in his house, and Princess Ying is willing to give a hundred taels of silver to transplant it. He walked for about an hour. .”

No one can tell where Ma Shiwa's house is, he is just hired temporarily.

"No one recommends, how dare you use a rootless person?"
