Princess Fangling waited in the carriage for a long time, but still no voice from the porter came back, and the carriage stopped motionless.
Just when she wanted to ask again, several firelights lit up around the carriage, and people began to appear outside the carriage.
"Grandma Huang..." Li Qian had already sensed the danger. The robbery would not have been so silent. Moreover, five hundred soldiers had just passed by here, so how could there be any robbers staying here.
"Yes, I'm afraid we are being targeted." Princess Fangling sat in the carriage and began to look out through the gauze curtains of the carriage.
"Could it be Li Hong?" Every time Li Lin spoke, she could not get Princess Fangling's favor.
Because she always said the words that Princess Fangling disliked hearing the most at inappropriate times and occasions.
It was the same this time. As expected, Princess Fangling glanced at her again: "I'm afraid Hong'er doesn't know that the granary is on fire at the moment. I'm afraid he's still dreaming. How could he run in front of me?"
Li Qian immediately nodded in agreement and agreed: "Li Hong has already lost this game with the imperial aunt. He only controlled Quan Shancai and Su Honghui, but he did not expect to immediately search and protect the granary. It is enough to know that these things outside are now This person will definitely not be Li Hong’s person.”
"But we are indeed being followed. Who could it be? Is it Di Renjie who blocked the way so blatantly? That old fox has never been involved in the battles between the royal families. Apart from him, are there any outsiders in Chengdu Mansion?" Fang Fang Princess Ling looked outside, but there was still no movement, and her brows were frowning more and more.
But at this moment, the porter's voice sounded outside the carriage: "Your Royal Highness, they ask you to get out of the carriage and have a chat."
"Tell them that I am not free. I have been delayed for a while on the road just now to avoid others. If something happens, let them follow to Chengdu Mansion to discuss it." Princess Fangling said calmly.
The concierge has already made his identity clear. If the visitor doesn't know how to advance or retreat, I'm afraid today's matter will not be solved so easily.
The more you think about something, the more it comes. After the concierge's voice disappeared for a while, it sounded again outside the carriage: "Your Royal Highness, they said the situation is urgent, and they hope you can get out of the car to meet them."
Duke Fang Ling opened his mouth and was about to speak when he heard a strange voice coming from outside: "Servant Yangwu has seen Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. Please get out of the car and talk to her."
"Yangwu?" Princess Fangling's face froze, and Li Qian and Li Lin suddenly became pale, and they were caught off guard and didn't know what to do.
After all, it is the shadow of a famous tree. Yang Wu has served His Majesty for many years. Although in recent years, Prince Li Hong has asked him to leave. No, strictly speaking, His Majesty gave Yang Wu to Prince Li Hong.
But now, Yang Wu suddenly appeared here in the middle of the night. Could it be that His Majesty came to Chengdu Mansion
If you don't want to, it's definitely because His Majesty is visiting Chengdu Mansion? Li Hong? Li Hong was originally in Chengdu.
Princess Fangling, who heard Yang Wu's name, was immediately thinking about why Yang Wu appeared here and who he was following.
At the same time, her movements were not slow. She straightened her clothes a little, then changed her expression to a slightly more relaxed expression, then opened the door of the carriage herself, and jumped out of the carriage. At this time, she could not see at all. A hint of old age.
"Since the Liangxiang County Lord and the Yuyao County Lord are here, we might as well get off the car together." Yang Wu smiled and saluted Princess Fangling from a distance, and then faced the two county owners in the carriage who had not yet recovered from their emotions. said.
Princess Fangling smiled and nodded to Yang Wu, and then she saw clearly through the light of the torch that the three guards left beside her were all subdued at this moment, standing on the side of the official road with their heads lowered.
"Eunuch Yangwu, I wonder if you are...? Are you suddenly coming to Chengdu Mansion with His Majesty?" He leaned on the crutches on the ground and glanced behind him from time to time, because there was a faint sound of fighting coming from a distance, and Listening to the sound of fighting, it even seemed like they were getting closer and closer to this place.
"Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess was joking. This servant just happened to be passing by and saw Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess ordering people to burn down the granary of Chengdu Mansion..."
"Wait a minute, Eunuch Yangwu, what did you just say about burning the granary? I ordered people to burn the granary? Why did you say that?" Princess Faang Ling secretly glared at Li Lin and Li Qian next to her. After Wu's words, his body could not help but tremble, making people wonder if it was them.
"My servant saw you leading five hundred people with your own eyes..."
"Oh, you mean that when my carriage stopped on the roadside just now, I avoided those five hundred strangers? Eunuch Yangwu was joking. I didn't know them at all. Why did I order them to burn down the granary? ”
"Then where are you planning to go all night?" Yang Wu also smiled hugely, but he couldn't help but sneer in his heart, knowing that Princess Fangling would not admit it easily.
If he stops her now, once the fighting over there stops, or someone comes over, the situation of himself and others will be in danger.
Naturally, Princess Fangling couldn't believe what she said. When she passed by the five hundred people, Pei Shoude and Murong Bin, who were originally guarding her carriage, followed the five hundred people away without stopping, which already showed that they knew each other. .
But now she doesn't admit it, and she has no choice. Moreover, if she wants to force her to stay or blackmail the royal family, no one in the entire Chengdu mansion would dare to do so. Even Bai Chun would not dare to blackmail or force her to stay at will. Otherwise, Zongzheng Temple can directly accuse people.
After all, these people are all members of the royal family. It doesn't mean that they can do anything to them. Besides, whether I or Bai Chun are just slaves, even if they have the support of His Highness, when His Highness is not around, It is a serious crime to threaten the royal family members at will.
"Hong'er has arrived in Chengdu. As the royal aunt, I rushed over overnight to see him after learning the news. Is there anything wrong?" Princess Fangling and Yang Wu turned back at the same time. The sound of fighting in the distance was heard at this time. He was getting closer and closer to them, but he didn't know who it was, and why he suddenly started fighting with the Nanzhao people in the middle of the night.
"Then why did you suddenly turn back towards Chengdu Mansion? My slave, Bai Chun, has met Her Royal Highness the Princess, the Lord of Liangxiang County, and the Lord of Yuyao County." Bai Chun walked out of the darkness.
The sound of fighting behind him is getting closer and closer, which is definitely not a good thing for himself and others. For now, the only way is to take advantage of the small number of them and kidnap Princess Fangling and others to leave this place. As for what to do next The only way to do it is to wait until we meet His Highness the Crown Prince.
"Bai Chun?" Princess Fangling's eyelids jumped involuntarily. This was obviously not good news for her. Doesn't Bai Chun's appearance mean that Li Hong was nearby
Could it be that the one who fought with the five hundred Nanzhao people was Li Hong? Could it be that Li Hong is also planning to rush to the granary tonight to inspect the Chengdu granary? Did he just burn it before him? So Li Hong, who arrived now, met 500 Nanzhao people and fought with each other
Is Li Hong really that smart? Although he had left a back-up at the scene to prevent the five hundred Nanzhao people from missing Li Hong who was going to the Chengdu Granary when they were heading to Qingcheng Mountain, he ordered Pei Shoude and Murong Bin to set up a secret sentry near the granary. Once they discovered that Quan Shancai was following Su Honghui killed him immediately.
But this is just a backup plan that I kept just in case. It couldn't really be such a coincidence, right
Princess Fangling was thinking quickly in her mind. She glanced coldly at Bai Chun, who appeared in front of her like a ghost in a white dress. She sneered and said, "It's not the turn of a slave like you to deal with royal matters." Please explain, but considering that you have been following Honger for many years, I am not afraid to tell you that I saw a sudden fire in front of me, and I was afraid that something might happen when I passed by, so I planned to go back home and visit Honger another day. , What, is there a problem?”
"No problem." Bai Chun's beautiful cheeks were like ice cubes. From the moment she appeared until now, she has never smiled even a little.
But with her stunning appearance, graceful figure, and especially her otherworldly temperament like a fairy descending from the earth, even Li Qian and Li Lin were a little jealous. God was so attached to this Bai Chun, no wonder he could make Li Hong So favor her.
"The husband of the Liangxiang County Lord and the Yuyao County Lord's husband have been following you. I wonder where they have gone?" Bai Chun heard the fierce fighting sounds from that side, and his heart was violently pulled from time to time.
She was very worried that the guards behind him were His Highness the Crown Prince, fighting with the unidentified 500 people. They did not have the upper hand in numbers, and the raging fire in the granary. If it was really His Highness's personal guards, it meant that His Highness arrived too late. Yes, it is very likely that someone will ambush you.
"What does it have to do with you? That's what you should ask." Li Qian's pretty face turned cold. She already disliked Bai Chun, so naturally she would not look good on Bai Chun at this time.
"It's none of my business, but it's about the truth about the granary of Chengdu Mansion." Bai Chun said still coldly and calmly.
"Hey, who do you think you are? Frankly speaking, you are just a dog of my royal family. Do you really think you are Di Renjie? In charge of the world's criminal law, arresting gangsters, and asking for justice in the world?" Li Lin crossed her arms and looked at Looking at Bai Chun, her heart was full of jealousy.
"I am not anyone, but regardless of whether I have anything to do with you or not, you all need to follow me until His Highness comes back to find out the reason, then you can..."
"I don't know where Miss Bai got the courage to think that I, the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, should obey the words of a slave like you?" Princess Faang Ling walked slowly towards Bai Chun on crutches.
She could see that Bai Chun was very worried about the sound of fighting in the distance, and he wanted to force her to leave this place quickly to avoid being entangled by those people.
