Nangong Yue's calm look made Tashi Duoji panic. He couldn't help but look around, and then sneered: "Prince Concubine, please stop struggling to your death. Don't worry, as long as you don't resist, we will still I will show mercy to you."
As he spoke, Tashi Duoji raised his hand and said, "Come on! Be careful not to hurt the Crown Princess."
Including Alia, Tashi Duoji led a total of six people. After giving the order, they immediately rushed towards Nangong Yue in a surrounding posture.
Baihui took a step forward and stood in front of Nangong Yue.
Aliya snorted disdainfully: "You can..."
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly felt like a light on her back. Her intuition from long-term martial arts training made her keenly aware of something. She looked around alertly and saw a young man in green and two young men in black emerging from the bamboo forest. Jumping down easily from above.
It was Xiao Si, Xiao Ying and Xiao An.
The corners of Xiao Ying's mouth hung with a usual careless smile, which was in sharp contrast to the dead faces of Xiaosi and Xiao An, as if someone owed them money.
When did these three people hide in the bamboo forest? !
Tashi Duoji’s pupils shrank and he thought: Oops! They might actually have fallen into a trap!
As soon as he thought about it, Tashi Duoji realized that they were already wolves in front and a tiger in the back——
More than ten feet ahead, a group of well-trained guards wearing uniforms in green attire appeared from behind the rockery. At the same time, a group of guards also appeared in the bamboo forest behind them, walking in a hurry. Twenty or thirty people surrounded them from a few feet away.
The guards all pulled out the long swords at their waists, and the sword blades shone sharply in the sunlight.
The faces of Tashi Duoji, Alya and others were extremely ugly, as if they were the bottom of a pot.
Xiao Ying took a step forward with a smile and said: "What kind of deputy general is this? We, the imperial concubine, are busy with things, so I'm afraid it's inconvenient for us to go with you. In fact, it's the same for you to come with us to the palace. It's okay. Talk to our Crown Princess like a family!"
"Who wants to talk to you about family affairs!" Aliya said disdainfully, and at some point he had a gleaming dagger in his hand. While speaking, she made a gesture to Tashi Duoji and rushed towards Baihui, thinking: As long as she restrains this maid and the deputy general takes the opportunity to kidnap the princess, then the situation may not be irreversible...
But no matter how hard she tried, it was useless.
Before Baihui had a chance to take action, Xiao An had already moved, and with a flash of black shadow, he turned around and kicked Aliya sideways, and kicked Aliya on the wrist, and the dagger came out of his hand. Immediately afterwards, Xiao An turned around again and struck Alya on the back of the neck with his hand blade.
Aliya fell down softly, and the dagger she just flew out "just happened" to fall into Xiao Ying's hand.
"This dagger is good!" Xiao Ying played with it nonchalantly.
Nangong Yue stood there calmly, with a smile on her lips, confident and bright.
Tashi Duoji looked at the unconscious Aliya, and looked at Xiao Si, Xiao Ying and Xiao An with vigilance, realizing that these three people were probably not simple.
In order to deceive others, he did not bring too many people with him in this operation. He originally wanted to quietly capture the Princess of Zhennan by outsmarting him. After all, if he wanted to fight with the Prince of Zhennan in Luoyue City, No matter how you think about it, it is undesirable.
I didn’t expect...
In Dayu's words, he was caught in a trap this time!
Tashi Duoji recognized the fact that the operation failed, made a prompt decision, and said in Nanliang dialect, "Break out separately!"
In order not to attract attention, they did not dare to bring swords into the temple openly. They only hid a dagger each. At this moment, they pulled out their daggers one after another and ran in several directions. All of them were They were elite soldiers in the Nanliang Army and had seen blood on the battlefield. At this moment when lives were at stake, each of them exuded an unstoppable energy.
"Want to escape?!" While speaking, Xiao Ying moved. He was very fast. He flew on the bamboo pole and stepped on it, using his strength. In the next moment, he flipped and landed on one of the Nanliangs. In front of the person, the other person's pupils shrank, and he couldn't believe his eyes.
It’s so boring! Xiao Ying curled his lips and punched the opponent in the chest. The other person's eyes were wide open and distracted.
Xiao Ying stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes, as if she wanted to make sure he was still conscious.
Time seemed to stand still for a moment, and then the man fell straight back
"Xiao Ying, stop playing." Xiao An knocked down another one while talking. On the other side, Xiaosi knocked one of them unconscious with just a few moves, and pounced on another dark-skinned young man.
Seeing that all his men had fallen, Tashi Duoji no longer cared and rushed towards the encirclement.
He can't stay here!
Tashi Duoji's attack became fierce in an instant. Several Bixiaotang guards who were standing in front of him were suddenly overwhelmed. He broke through the human wall and fled towards the edge of the bamboo forest.
There is a small river there, and the water is very fast. It is one of the escape routes that Tashi Duoji had found early in the morning. He originally thought that he would not be able to use it... But now, it has become a retreat!
Tashi Duoji ran forward with all his strength.
"Chase!"
The captain of the guard gave an order and took a dozen guards to chase him.
Xiao Ying and Xiao An exchanged a tacit look, and after a few steps, they retreated to Nangong Yue's side.
"Bring them back."
Nangong Yue gave the order, and the guards immediately **** the five of them. No one noticed that the eyelashes of the unconscious person trembled slightly, and then pressed their lips together tightly, revealing a trace of determination...
"Ah——"
A frightening scream suddenly sounded. Xiao An pinched Alia's chin with her right hand. Her whole face was twisted in pain. Big beads of sweat fell like rain, and her chin appeared It was in a weird and twisted state, as if it was dislocated.
Xiao An's expression was still indifferent and he said: "The Crown Princess, there is a poison sac in her back teeth. I will remove her jaw first and deal with it after I get back."
Aliya stared at Xiao An with hateful eyes. If eyes could kill, Xiao An would have died hundreds of times.
Nangong Yue nodded slightly, and Xiao An then attacked the remaining people one by one.
At this time, Xiaosi's ears twitched, he looked back and said, "Someone is coming!"
Xiao Ying and Xiao An hugged Nangong Yue, called a few guards, and dragged Alya and his party away quickly.
Soon, most of the people dispersed, leaving only two maids, Baihu Queer and five or six guards, still with Nangong Yue. There was no sign that there had been an ambush here, except for the chaos all around. It means that a fierce battle has just ended.
In the distance, a burst of rapid footsteps came. Although it was remote, such a big movement still disturbed the temple. After receiving the news, the abbot hurried over with a group of monks.
The host asked anxiously: "Donor, are you okay?"
Before Nangong Yue could speak, the captain of the guard who had just chased Tashi Duoji came in a hurry and said with shame on his face: "... Concubine, my subordinates are useless. The people of Nanliang jumped into the river and escaped. Please The Crown Princess will punish you." At this point, he hurriedly added, "My subordinates have ordered people to continue searching the surroundings!"
The Crown Princess?
The abbot and the monks were shocked. They never imagined that the person who came to the temple to pray for blessings and alms today was actually the Crown Princess! More importantly, she was assassinated by Nanliang people in their temple!
The host was the first to come to his senses. He clasped his hands together, chanted the Buddha's name, and said with lingering fear: "As long as the imperial concubine is fine..."
"Master, I'm worried." Nangong Yue bowed and said apologetically, "I didn't expect the Nanliang people to be so bold as to dare to sneak into the temple and assassinate me. Because I disturbed the purity of the temple, it is really my fault. "As she said this, she turned to Baihui and said, "Baihui, give me one thousand taels of sesame oil money to the temple."
"Yes, Crown Princess." Baihui knelt down and accepted the order.
The host couldn't care less about the sesame oil money at the moment, he was just glad that the princess was safe and sound.
As we all know, the Crown Prince is leading troops to fight against the Nanliang army. Now Nanliang secretly sends spies here to assassinate the Crown Princess. His intentions are known to everyone!
Fortunately, the Crown Princess is safe and sound.
The host recited the Buddha's name and said: "The people of Nanliang are very cruel, but fortunately the concubine Jiren has her own destiny."
Nangong Yue thanked: "Thank you so much for the kind words from the host."
After chatting with the host for a few words, Ying'er, who had gone to prepare the vegetarian meal earlier, hurried over with a few maids. The chief guard clasped his fists and said solemnly: "Prince Concubine, it's not very safe here. It's better to go back to the palace first. ."
Nangong Yue nodded, looked at the host and said: "Master host, I will trouble the host and all the masters about donating vegetarian food." She made another Buddhist salute, "Master host, I will take my leave first. ."
A group of maids and guards protected Nangong Yue out of the Great Buddha Temple like stars over the moon. The momentum was huge. Along the way, they attracted the attention of many pilgrims, who all whispered to each other and looked at Nangong Yue and his party.
In the crowd, an old woman couldn't help but muttered: "Didn't I say that I was going to donate vegetarian food in the temple? Why did you leave so suddenly?!"
"That's right." The middle-aged woman beside her said, "We have been waiting for more than an hour!"
Another young woman also said: "No, I want to ask the master in the temple. The Buddha said not to lie, and I have already said that I will give alms. There is no reason to regret it temporarily..."
At this time, two monks walked over quickly, saluted the crowd with one palm and said: "Mrs. Xiao, who came to the temple to give alms today, has something to do temporarily, and entrusted our temple to help with the alms. We will start after a stick of incense. If everyone If the donor can help, please go to the west wing to enjoy it." After that, the two monks left.
The pilgrims who had been waiting for a long time were relieved. They didn't care why Mrs. Xiao left temporarily because of something else, as long as the vegetarian food was still there.
The old woman recited the Buddha's name, clasped her palms together and said with a smile: "Mrs. Xiao must be blessed for her kindness and charity. Even if something goes wrong for a while, the Buddha will definitely bless her."
"Isn't that right?!" A little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old with a braided braid came over and said, with an oval face that looked pretty and pretty, "Sisters, have you heard about that Xiao Xiao?" Who is the madam?"
This little girl is exactly Huamei. After changing into a coarse cloth and taking off her jewelry, Huamei blended in among the pilgrims and was not conspicuous at all.
The middle-aged woman looked at her and asked curiously: "Little girl, do you know something?"
Huamei said mysteriously: "I also accidentally heard the two young masters talking over there, saying that Mrs. Xiao is our Crown Princess."
"Prince Princess?!" The old woman was startled for a moment, then took a breath.
Not only these women, but other people nearby also heard it and followed the sound curiously.
The little girl nodded matter-of-factly: "That's right!" After a pause, she added, "I heard that the Crown Princess had just been assassinated by a Nanliang man in the temple, so she hurried back home."
One sentence seemed to drop a stone in the crowd, causing ripples.
"What? That was the Crown Princess just now?!"
"The Crown Princess was attacked by Nanliang people!"
“Damn it, those Nanliang people are too audacious!”
"..."
Some people even asked eagerly: "Little girl, have the Nanliang people who assassinated the Crown Princess been caught?"
Huamei said with a sad look on his face: "Hey, it seems that someone ran away. When I first came over, I saw a lot of guards surrounding the river. Maybe he jumped into the river."
"I know, I know!" the middle-aged woman said, "There is a small river next to the bamboo forest in the temple, and it seems to lead to the outside of Luoyue City."
"Damnable Nanliang people! I hope the palace will arrest them quickly!"
"It seems that martial law will be enforced again in the city recently..."
"Yes, if martial law is really enforced later and we are not allowed to enter the city, it will be troublesome. I have to go back to the city quickly!"
"Yes, yes. I have to go back and give some advice to my family. I have to be careful of those suspicious-looking people lately."
"..."
Huamei unknowingly withdrew from the crowd and quietly boarded a carriage parked not far away.
The crowd gradually dispersed, and many people did not care about the vegetarian meal and left the temple one after another.
One spreads to ten, and ten spreads to a hundred.
After a while, not only the pilgrims at the Great Buddha Temple knew that the Crown Princess of Zhennan was attacked here, and that the group of Nanliang assassins were absconding, the news spread even to some nearby small towns, villages, and even Luoyue City. .
The people became alert and paid special attention to those strangers with strange faces.
At this time, Nangong Yue's carriage had arrived at Bixiaotang. She got off the carriage and went directly to Xiao Yi's study. Zhu Xing had been waiting outside the study for a long time.
To be honest, Zhu Xing really didn't want the Crown Princess to use her body as bait to do such a dangerous thing, but since the Crown Prince was not around, he couldn't stop her at all. However, the Crown Princess refused to let him follow her, so she could only wait here in fear. It had only been a few hours, and her hair had already turned several gray.
Although he knew that with the secret guards at his side, nothing would happen to the imperial concubine, but it was not until he saw that she was unharmed that Zhu Xing truly breathed a sigh of relief.
"The Crown Princess." Zhu Xing said naggingly, "Don't do this again. If something happens to you, how will your subordinates explain it to the Crown Prince? The Crown Princess..."
Nangong Yue walked into the study, sat down behind the desk, and asked with a smile: "Where is Tashi Duoji now?"
Zhu Xing was interrupted and said depressedly: "...Tashi Duoji entered Luoyue City in half an hour."
Nangong Yue nodded slightly and said: "There is no need to scare the snake first. In addition, let people spread the word and say that there is a 'nobleman' from Nanliang hiding in Luoyue City. ...By the way, I was frightened, you go and Let’s go to the prince and report what happened today.”
Zhu Xing left with a sigh, hoping that the prince would not tear him into pieces when he came back.
Zhu Xing was lucky. King Zhennan happened to be in the mansion. After hearing Zhu Xing's report, his face suddenly sank.
Before Zhu Xing came, King Zhennan had heard that the Crown Princess had been assassinated in the Great Buddha Temple. He originally hoped it was just a rumor, but Zhu Xing's arrival completely shattered his illusions.
Not only that, now this matter has even spread throughout Luoyue City, and I don’t know if it will reach the ears of An Yihou... An Yihou came under the emperor’s order. Things happened one after another in Luoyue City. If An Yihou feels that the political affairs in Southern Xinjiang are not going well and is in chaos, and he can read it himself, it will be a big trouble again.
The King of Zhennan listened impatiently to Zhu Xing's reply, and his inner fire seemed to be fueled by fuel and firewood, burning more and more.
Zhu Xing deliberately avoided the fact that five Nanliang people had been captured. He only said that there was insufficient manpower, and in order to protect the Crown Princess, he let the Nanliang people escape by the river.
King Zhennan also understood that at such a juncture, of course the most important thing was to protect the Crown Princess.
Zhu Xing observed the words and sighed heavily and said: "Hey, Your Majesty, the people of Nanliang have tried to attack the Crown Princess many times, and it is really hard to kill them. The last time they didn't succeed, then they did it again, and now this time It failed again, and I don’t know if there will be a next time..."
The King of Zhennan was thoughtful and moved his index finger a few times on the desk. What Zhu Xing said is correct. Although the Nanliang people should have fled far away if their assassination failed this time, there may be another wave of Nanliang people hiding in the city who plan to attack the princess again! It only happens three times. If it happens a third time, I will really lose face in front of An Yihou.
The King of Zhennan made a decisive decision and ordered Tang Qinghong to come. First, he asked him to personally lead a hundred elite soldiers to search carefully inch by inch with the Great Buddha Temple as the center. Then he ordered the entire Luoyue City to be under martial law.
As a result, the atmosphere in Luoyue City became tense again, as if it was shrouded in layers of dark clouds, with a bit of a turbulent atmosphere.
On the streets of Luoyue City, groups of patrolling soldiers can be seen everywhere... Earlier, many people heard that the Crown Princess was assassinated by Nanliang people. Now that they see such behavior again, they still don't understand what happened. Things, all talking:
"It turns out it's true! There are spies from Nanliang lurking in Luoyue City!"
"I heard that he is not an ordinary person, but a noble person from Nanliang!"
"Noble man? He can't be the coach of Nanliang, right?"
"..."
As he spoke, another group of patrolling soldiers walked past with rumbles. The people on the road lowered their voices and watched them leave.
In a small alley, Tashi Duoji, who had changed into a short green suit, breathed a sigh of relief until the footsteps of the soldiers disappeared. He turned left and around in the alley, and then came to the back door of an inn. After confirming that no one was following him, Tashiduo quickly climbed up a big tree and entered a room on the second floor of the inn.
Nine King Langma was pacing back and forth anxiously in the room.
Langma already knew something was wrong when she discovered that martial law had begun in the city. Especially when she heard the rumors, she knew that Tashi Duoji and their actions would most likely fail!
At this moment, when she heard the sound of someone climbing through the window and entering the house, Langma looked over quickly and shouted in surprise: "Tashi Duoji..." Tashi Duoji escaped, but what about the others!
Lang Ma looked at the window behind Tashi Duoji, but was disappointed to find that no one climbed through the window again.
In other words, everyone else was arrested, even...
Langma couldn't help clenching her fists together tightly, with veins bulging on the back of her hands, and her dark eyes were dark.
Sure enough——
"Nine Kings, the Princess of Zhennan set a trap in the Great Buddha Temple... Only the last general escaped." Tashi Duoji's face was as black as coal and his voice was stiff as he reported.
Although he had known this was the case, Langma still felt a heavy blow to his heart and his pupils shrank.
After all, he was careless. It was obvious that the Zhennan Palace had been pretending to be lax in the past few days and quietly used the Crown Princess as bait to lure them into taking the bait!
"Nine Kings, since the Great Buddha Temple is a trap, maybe we have been targeted a long time ago. Now the city is searching for a Nanliang nobleman... The general is worried that the King of Zhennan must know that you are in the city." Tashi Duoji said a little impatiently, "Nine Kings, if you don't leave at this time, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave."
I came here with full confidence, but failed to do either of the two things, and now I have to escape in despair...
But what Tashi Dorje said is not unreasonable...
Langma was silent for a while, and then said: "The Zhennan Palace has been on guard, and it may not be so easy to leave the city now." He thought for a moment, and said: "I have an appointment with Ye Yinming to meet you. , he is also the 'brother-in-law' of King Zhennan, maybe we can use him to help us get out of the city..."
