Nangong Yue's calm expression made Tashi Dorji panic, and he looked around involuntarily, and then sneered, "Shi Zifei, don't struggle to your death. Don't worry, as long as you don't resist, we will still take pity on you." .”
As he said that, Tashi Dorji waved his hand and said, "Go! Be careful, don't hurt the princess."
Including Alia, Tashi Dorje led a total of six people, and immediately rushed towards Nangong Yue in a surrounding posture at the order.
Baihui took a step forward and stood in front of Nangong Yue.
Aliya let out a cold snort of disdain: "It's up to you..."
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly felt like a light was on her back. The intuition of long-term martial arts practice made her keenly aware of something. She looked around vigilantly, and saw a young man in green and two young men in black relaxed from above the bamboo forest. Jump down.
It was Xiao Si, Xiao Ying and Xiao An.
There was a casual smile on the corner of Xiao Ying's mouth, which was in stark contrast to Xiao Si and Xiao An's dead faces as if others owed them money.
When did these three people hide in the bamboo forest? !
Tashi Dorje's pupils shrank, and he thought: Oops! They may have really been tricked!
As soon as he thought about it, Tashi Dorje realized that they were already wolves at the front and tigers at the back—
Ten zhang ahead, a group of well-trained guards in green clothes appeared from behind the rockery, and at the same time, a group of guards appeared in the bamboo forest behind them, walking hurriedly, there were at least twenty or thirty People, surrounded them a few feet away.
The guards all pulled out the long swords around their waists, and the blades gleamed sharply in the sunlight.
The faces of Tashi Dorje, Alia and others were extremely ugly, like the bottom of a pot.
Xiao Ying took a step forward with a smile, and said: "What kind of deputy general, our royal concubine is busy with affairs, I'm afraid it's not convenient for you to go with you. In fact, it's the same if you come with us to the palace, you can also go with our prince Concubine Taoism is homely!"
"Who wants to talk to you!" Aliya said disdainfully, and at some point there was a gleaming dagger in his hand. While speaking, she made a gesture to Tashi Dorji, and rushed towards Baihui, thinking: As long as she restrains this servant girl and the deputy general takes the opportunity to hold the concubine, the situation may not be impossible...
But no matter how loud her wishful thinking was, it was useless.
Before Baihui had a chance to make a move, Xiao An had already moved, a black shadow flashed, he turned around and kicked Alia's wrist, and the dagger came out of his hand. Immediately afterwards, Xiao An turned around again, and struck Alia on the back of the neck with a hand blade.
Alia fell down softly, and the dagger she flew out just now "just in time" fell into Xiao Ying's hand.
"This dagger is not bad!" Xiao Ying casually played with it.
Nangong Yue stood there calmly, with a smile on her lips, confident and bright.
Tashi Dorji looked at Alia, who was unconscious, and vigilantly looked at Xiao Si, Xiao Ying and Xiao An, realizing that these three people might not be easy.
In order to deceive others, he didn't bring too many people with him in this operation. He originally wanted to take down Zhennan Wang's concubine quietly by outsmarting him. is not desirable.
did not expect…
In Dayu's words, I was caught in the urn this trip!
Tashi Dorje recognized the fact that the operation had failed, made a decisive decision, and said in Nan Liang's words, "Break out separately!"
In order not to attract attention, they did not dare to bring swords into the temple in a fair manner, but each hid a dagger. At this moment, they pulled out the daggers one after another and ran in several directions. All of these people were from Nanliang. The elite soldiers in the army have seen blood on the battlefield. At this moment when their lives are at stake, everyone has an unstoppable spirit.
"Want to escape?!" At the same time as he spoke, Xiao Ying moved, his body was extremely fast, he stepped on the bamboo pole, borrowed his strength, and in the next moment, he flipped and landed in front of one of the Nanliang people. The other party's pupils shrank, and he couldn't believe his eyes.
It's no fun! Xiao Ying curled her lips and punched the opponent in the chest. The other party's eyes were wide open, and his eyes were lax.
Xiao Ying stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes, as if wanting to make sure whether he was still conscious.
Time seemed to stand still for a moment, and then, the man fell straight backwards
"Xiao Ying, stop playing." Xiao An knocked down another one while talking. On the other side, Xiao Si also knocked out one with a few moves, and rushed towards another dark-skinned youth.
Seeing that all his subordinates had fallen, Tashi Dorje no longer cared about it, and rushed towards the encirclement with his head buried.
He can't fold here!
As soon as Tashi Dorji was ruthless, the offensive became fierce in an instant. The guards of Bixiaotang who were standing in front of him were suddenly a little defeated. He just broke through the human wall and fled towards the edge of the bamboo forest.
There is a small river there, the river is very fast, it is one of the escape routes that Tashi Dorje found early in the morning, he thought it would be useless... But now, it really became a retreat route!
Tashi Dorje ran forward with all his strength.
"Chase!"
The captain of the guard gave an order, and brought a dozen guards to chase together.
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 immediately the guards tied up the five of them. No one noticed that the unconscious one's eyelashes trembled slightly, and then his lips were tightly pressed together, revealing a trace of determination...
"ah-"
A terrifying scream sounded suddenly, Xiao An squeezed Aliya's chin with his right hand, her whole face was distorted in pain, beads of sweat fell down like rain, her chin showed a kind of The weird and twisted state seems to be dislocated.
Xiao An's expression was still calm, and he said: "Concubine Shizi, there is a poison sac in her back teeth, my subordinates removed her jaw first, and we will deal with it after returning home."
Alia stared at Xiao An with resentful eyes. If eyes could kill, Xiao An would have died hundreds of times.
Nangong Yue nodded slightly, and Xiao An followed up with the rest of the people one by one.
At this time, Xiao Si moved his ears, looked back, and said, "Someone is coming!"
Xiao Ying and Xiao An clasped their fists at Nangong Yue, called a few guards, and dragged Alia and his party back quickly.
Soon, most of the people dispersed, leaving only Baihui Que'er, two maidservants and five or six guards by Nangong Yue's side. It was completely impossible to tell that there was an ambush here, but the mess around represented a A fierce fight has just ended.
In the distance, there was a rush of footsteps. Although the place is remote, such a big movement still disturbed the temple. The abbot who got the news hurried over with a group of monks.
The host asked anxiously, "This benefactor, are you okay?"
Before Nangong Yue could speak, the head of the guard who had just gone to chase Tashi Dorji hurried over, and said with shame on his face: "... Shi Zifei, my subordinates are useless, people from Nanliang jumped into the river and escaped, please Shi Zifei to punish. "Speaking of which, he hastily added, "The subordinates have ordered people to continue searching around!"
Crown Princess
The host and the monks were stunned. They never imagined that the person who came to the temple to pray for blessings and alms today turned out to be the crown prince! What's more, she was assassinated by people from Nanliang in their temple!
The host was the first to come back to his senses. He clasped his hands together, recited the sound of the Buddha, and said with lingering fear: "It's good that the concubine is fine..."
"Master, I'm worried." Nangong Yue saluted and said apologetically, "I didn't expect people from Nanliang to be so bold as to sneak into the temple and assassinate me, because I disturbed the cleanliness of the temple, it's really my fault." , she turned to Baihui and said, "Baihui, add one thousand taels of sesame oil money to the temple for me."
"Yes, Shizifei." Baihui bowed her knees and accepted the order.
The host doesn't care about the sesame oil money at the moment, but fortunately the princess is safe and sound.
As we all know, at this moment, Shi Ziye is leading troops to fight with Nanliang's army, and now Nanliang secretly sends spies here to assassinate Shi Zifei, and everyone knows his intention is Sima Zhaozhi!
Fortunately, the imperial concubine was safe and sound.
The host recited the sound of the Buddha, and said: "Nanliang people's hearts can be punished, but fortunately, the prince and concubine have their own heavenly appearance."
Nangong Yue thanked: "Thank you for your auspicious words, Master Host."
After exchanging greetings with the host, Yinger, who was going to prepare vegetarian food before, hurried over with a few maidservants. The chief guard clasped his fists and said in a deep voice, "Concubine Shizi, it's not safe here, let's 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 gave another Buddhist ceremony, "Master host, I will take my leave first."
A group of maids and guards escorted Nangong Yue out of the Great Buddha Temple like stars and moons. The momentum was huge. Along the way, they attracted the attention of many pilgrims, and they all looked at Nangong Yue and the group in whispers.
Among the crowd, an old woman couldn't help muttering: "Didn't you say that you want to donate vegetarian food in the temple? Why did you leave suddenly?!"
"That's right." The middle-aged woman beside her said, "We've been waiting for more than an hour!"
Another young woman also said: "No, I'm going to ask the master in the monastery. The Buddha said that he would not tell lies. He has already agreed to give alms. There is no reason to go back on his word..."
At this time, two monks walked over quickly, saluted the crowd with one palm and said: "Madam Xiao, who came to the temple to give alms today, is temporarily busy, and entrusts our temple to help give vegetarian dishes. It will start after a stick of incense. If all benefactors can help Xiangna, 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 had to leave temporarily, as long as Su Zhai was still there.
The old woman recited the Buddha's name, clasped her palms together and said with a smile: "Mrs. Xiao is kind and generous, so she must be blessed. Even if something goes wrong for a while, the Buddha will definitely protect her."
"Isn't it?!" A fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl with a twisted braid came over and said, her melon-shaped face looked pretty and lovely, "Sisters, have you heard that Mrs. Xiao is like that?" people?"
This little girl was Thrush, and after she put on a coarse cloth dress and took off her jewelry, Thrush blended in among the pilgrims without being conspicuous at all.
The middle-aged woman looked at her and asked curiously: "Little girl, don't you know something?"
Huamei said mysteriously: "I also overheard the two young masters chatting over there by chance, saying that Mrs. Xiao is our princess."
"Elder Concubine?!" The old woman was startled for a moment, then took a deep breath.
Not only these women, but also other people nearby heard it, and followed the sound curiously.
The little girl nodded her head as a matter of course: "That's right!" After a pause, she continued, "I heard that the Shizi Concubine was assassinated by Nanliang people in the temple just now, so she hurried back home."
One sentence seemed to throw a stone in the crowd, causing ripples.
"What? That was the Crown Princess just now?!"
"The concubine was attacked by Nanliang people!"
"Damn it, those Nanliang people are too bold!"
"..."
Someone even asked eagerly: "Little girl, have the Nanliang people who assassinated the crown prince been caught?"
Huamei said with a sad face: "Hey, it seems that someone ran away. When I first came here, I saw a lot of guards around the river. Maybe I jumped into the river."
"I know, I know!" The middle-aged woman rushed to talk, "There is a small river beside the bamboo forest in the temple, and it seems to lead to the outside of Luoyue City."
"Damn Nanliang people! I hope the palace will arrest them and bring them to justice!"
"Looks like the city is going to be under martial law again recently..."
"That's right, if the martial law is really enforced later and people 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 remind my family. Recently, I have to be careful of those suspicious people."
"..."
Thrush unknowingly withdrew from the crowd and quietly boarded a carriage parked not far away.
The crowd gradually dispersed, and many people also ignored the vegetarian meal and left the temple one after another.
One pass ten, ten pass one hundred.
After a while, not only the pilgrims of the Great Buddha Temple knew that the concubine of the Prince of Zhennan was attacked here, and that the gang of Nanliang assassins had fled outside, even some nearby small towns, villages, and even Luoyue City spread the news.
The common people became vigilant, paying special attention to those strangers with strange faces.
At this time, Nangong Yue's carriage had already arrived at Bixiao Hall, 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 concubine to use her body as a bait to do such a dangerous thing, but he couldn't stop the concubine if he wasn't around. But Shi Zifei didn't let him follow, so she could only wait here in fear. It's only been a few hours, and several strands of her hair have turned gray.
Even though he knew that with the hidden guards around, the imperial concubine would be fine, but Zhu Xing was not really relieved until seeing that she was unharmed.
"Shi Zifei." Zhu Xing said naggingly, "You must not be like this in the future. If something happens to you, how will your subordinates explain to Shi Ziye, Shi Zifei..."
Nangong Yue walked into the study, sat down behind the desk, and asked with a smile, "Where is Tashi Dorji now?"
Zhu Xing's words were interrupted, and he said depressedly: "...Tashi Dorje advanced to Luoyue City in half an hour."
Nangong Yue lowered her head slightly and said, "Don't startle the snakes first. In addition, let someone spread the word that a 'noble man' from Nanliang is hiding in Luoyue City....By the way, I was frightened, you go to the prince to report back Today's matter."
Zhu Xing left with a sigh, and only hoped that Shizi would not tear himself apart when he came back.
Zhu Xing was lucky, King Zhennan happened to be in the mansion, and after hearing Zhu Xing's report, his face sank immediately.
Before Zhu Xing came, King Zhennan had heard that his concubine was assassinated in the Great Buddha Temple. He originally hoped that it was just a rumor, but Zhu Xing completely shattered his fantasy when he came.
Not only that, but now this incident has spread throughout Luoyue City, and I don't know if it will reach the ears of Marquis An Yi... Marquis An Yi came here at the emperor's order, and accidents happened one after another in Luo Yue City. Hou felt that the political affairs in southern Xinjiang were not smooth and chaotic. If he submitted a booklet to refer to himself, it would be another big trouble at that time.
King Zhennan listened anxiously to Zhu Xing's reply, as if fuel and firewood had been added to his heart, it was burning more and more vigorously.
Zhu Xing deliberately avoided the fact that five people from Nanliang had been arrested, and only said that there was not enough manpower, and in order to protect the concubine, the people from Nanliang escaped.
The king of Zhennan also understood that at such a juncture, of course it is most important to protect the princess.
Zhu Xing looked at his words, sighed heavily and said: "Hey, my lord, the people of Nanliang have repeatedly tried to attack the concubine Shizi, and they really have a heart to punish. Last time they didn't succeed, and this time they failed again, and now this time they failed again." , I don’t know if there will be a next time…”
Zhennan Wang 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 away if the assassination failed this time, there may be another wave of Nanliang people hiding in the city who are planning to attack the princess again! There are only three things, if there is a third time, I will really lose my face in front of An Yihou.
The King of Zhennan made a decisive decision and ordered Xuan to come to Tang Qinghong. First, he asked him to lead a hundred elite soldiers to search carefully inch by inch with the Dafo Temple as the center, and then ordered the entire city of Luoyue 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, and there was a bit of jitteriness.
On the streets of Luoyue City, groups of patrolling soldiers can be seen everywhere... Earlier, many people heard that the Shizi Concubine was assassinated by the people of Nanliang. Baba said:
"So it's true! There are spies from Nanliang lurking in Luoyue city!"
"I heard that he is not an ordinary person, but a nobleman from Nanliang!"
"My lord? It can't be Nanliang's coach, right?"
"..."
During the speech, another group of patrolling soldiers rumbled past, and the people on the road lowered their voices and watched them leave.
In a small alley, Tashi Dorje, who had changed into a Tsingyi and bunted, breathed a sigh of relief until the sound of soldiers' footsteps 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, Tashi Dorje climbed up a big tree and entered a room on the second floor of the inn.
Nine King Langma was walking back and forth anxiously in the room.
When Langma found out that martial law had begun in the city, she already knew something was wrong, especially when she heard the raging rumors, she knew that Tashi Dorje and his actions most likely failed!
At this moment, upon hearing the sound of someone entering the room through the window, Langma hurriedly looked over, and shouted in surprise: "Tashi Dorje..." Tashi Dorje escaped, what about the others!
Langma looked at the window behind Tashi Dorje, but was disappointed to find that no one went through the window again.
That said, everyone else was caught, even...
Langma couldn't help clenching her fists tightly, the veins on the back of her hands were bulging, and her dark eyes were dark.
really-
"Nine kings, the concubine of the Prince of Zhennan set a trap in the Great Buddha Temple... Only the last general escaped." Tashi Dorje reported with a stiff voice, his face black as coal.
Although she knew this was the case, Langma still felt a heavy blow to her heart, and her pupils shrank.
After all, he was careless. It is obvious that the Zhennan Palace has been pretending to be slack in the past few days, quietly using the concubine as a bait to lure them into the bait!
"Nine Kings, since the Great Buddha Temple is a trap, maybe we have been targeted long ago. Now the city is searching for a nobleman from Nanliang... Mo will be worried that the King of Zhennan must know that you are in the city." Zhaxi Duojiluo Said impatiently, "Nine Kings, if you don't leave at this time, I'm afraid you really won't be able to leave."
I came here full of confidence, but I didn't get any of the two things done, and now I'm about to escape in despair...
But what Tashi Dorje said is not unreasonable...
Langma was silent for a while, and then said: "The Zhennan Prince's Mansion has already taken precautions, and it may not be so easy to leave the city now." He thought for a moment, and said: "This king has asked Ye Yinming to meet, how can he It is said that he is also the "brother-in-law" of King Zhennan, maybe we can use him to help us get out of the city... "
