The Grandmaster Strategist

Chapter 88: Fragrant fright

Views:

At this time, the inside of the hunting palace was gradually calmed down, and King Yong broke out. Although it caused a lot of trouble to Fengyi Sect, it also weakened the resistance in the hunting palace. The token quickly brought the situation under control. The rest of the Imperial Guard, in addition to the 3,000 Imperial Guards who controlled Xiaoshuang Palace, was completely controlled by Fengyi Sect. The Imperial Guard and the rest of the Imperial Guard were disrupted and sent to various places to control the hunting palace. All the accompanying ministers were placed under house arrest, even those who tended to the Fengyi Sect. Of course, if these ministers did not need it, they would not Really getting involved in a rebellion will hurt your reputation.

Wei Ying took the imperial army to patrol around, and he wanted to make sure that there was no remaining resistance. Originally, Wen Yajunxiu had a faint murderous look on her face, and she completely lost the calm demeanor she used to have.

At this moment, his heart is very anxious, but it is strange that he thinks of the past in his mind. The relationship between the Wei family and Fengyi's family has never been known. Who would have thought that Mrs. Wei and the master of Fengyi's family are sisters Jin Lan? Not long after Wei Ying was born, he was favored by the master of Fengyi, and secretly taught him martial arts, and Wei Ying lived up to the expectations of the master of Fengyi, and became a talented person with both civil and military skills. Because the Wei family has always been neutral. Self-proclaimed, so no one knew that Wei Ying was the only male named disciple of Fengyi's sect master.

As Wei Ying grew up, he gradually became estranged from Fengyimen. After all, as the son of the prime minister, he was a young and talented person who was praised by everyone. His future was limitless. and exclusion, so he almost never showed his martial arts, and single-mindedly wanted to be a good partner, but just when he was complacent, an unexpected blow came.

Whether it was the crown prince's plan or Fengyimen's fake public assistance, he became the emperor's chosen concubine and the fiancé-in-law of Princess Changle. Frankly speaking, he had no affection for Princess Changle. After all, he was humble on the outside and proud on the inside , Princess Changle is not his dream wife, but he is very clear about what marrying a princess means to him, so he readily accepts the emperor's arrangement, but the blow comes, Princess Changle would rather become a monk than go out. Marrying, this makes Wei Ying, who has always been smooth sailing, surge with unprecedented anger. It was in this year that he began to approach the Fengyi Sect, but during this process, he always walked in a mask. Except for the master of the Fengyi Sect, no one knew that the emperor's favored Master Wei, It turned out to be the protector bestowed by Fengyi's sect master himself.

At the beginning, Wei Ying still didn't want to rebel, and even deliberately delayed the decision of Fengyi's sect master several times. For him, it is very easy to take charge of the phase after ten years, and there is no need to risk his wealth like this. However, when Sect Master Fengyi proposed that plan, he still had no way to refuse. Getting Princess Changle was the only way for him to become the royal family, so he let Sect Master Fengyi lead the farce, and even beforehand, he had With a gentle and elegant appearance and gentle and sweet words, she secretly won Lu'e's heart. Because every time Princess Changle avoided him on purpose, Lu'e was invariably ordered to perfunctory excuses, and Wei Ying took the opportunity to deceive the girl's sincerity. On that day, Lu'e, who was full of hope that she could accompany the princess to marry the Wei family, was pretending to be confused. If it wasn't for the arrival of Princess Changle's biological concubine, Princess Changle would have been forced to marry him, but on that day, Wei Ying Know that you never have any chance. Seeing that the road to Qingyun was cut in the middle, he finally made up his mind that as long as he helped protect the crown prince, then with his own credit, he would have absolutely no problem in marrying the princess.

But things are always unsatisfactory. King Yong did not know how to dismantle his flawless deception, and he took a risk to break through the siege successfully. This made him full of panic. Although Li Hanyou had already gone to force the military talisman, so as to mobilize the Qin army to hunt down King Yong, but in case When he failed, Wei Ying had never felt so distressed and worried as he did now, so when clearing the resistance forces, he was ruthless like never before. Along the way, more than a dozen officials have been beheaded by him for resisting, blood, Dyeing the hunting palace forbidden garden.

What irritated Wei Ying was that after Li Hanyou and Xiao Lan and others discussed it, they did not know that they would know Wei Ying, so they put the prince's young Fu Lu Jingzhong under house arrest in the Yulin Palace, because all the girls in Fengyi Sect felt that Lu Jingzhong would be an enemy in the future. Instead of letting Lu Jingzhong disrupt the situation and damage the interests of Fengyi Sect, it is better to kill him by taking the opportunity. Fortunately, Wei Ying arrived in time, but it was a done deal. Since he had offended Lu Jingzhong, he could no longer offend Li Hanyou and Xiao Lan. In desperation, Wei Ying had to agree to temporarily put Lu Jingzhong under house arrest. However, Wei Ying hated the act of disregarding the overall situation and cutting off their arms before major events were accomplished.

While patrolling, he was thinking about how to control the overall situation. When Wei Ying walked to Hanxiang Garden, he suddenly felt a move in his heart. For him, no matter what benefits he got from the success of the rebellion, it was not as important as Princess Changle's marriage. When he came here, he It suddenly occurred to me that Princess Changle must be uneasy because of what happened outside. If he took the opportunity to comfort him, he might be able to reassure the princess. Thinking of this, he walked towards Hanxiang Garden. The guard guarding the gate was not Feng Yi. Men and the Crown Prince were of the same line, but when they saw Wei Ying, they didn't dare to stop them. After all, they were not fools. They knew that there was an accident in the hunting palace, but the Emperor and General Qin were nowhere to be seen. Action, after all, this is the civil strife of the royal family. If they stand in the wrong position, they will die. In their eyes, Wei Ying is the emperor's messenger. After all, the gold medal for controlling the forbidden army is in his hands. Walking into Hanxiang Garden, Wei Ying only felt a sense of bleakness, and the chrysanthemums in the garden were full of slaughter. He walked to the steps of the princess's bedroom and said loudly, "Chen Wei Ying asks to see Her Royal Highness."

There was silence in the hall for a long time. A dignified and beautiful palace maid in her thirties came out and said, "Cuiluan Hall Shangyi Zhou has seen Mrs. Wei. Her Royal Highness Princess has already gone to Xiaoshuang Hall and is not here."

Wei Ying was stunned for a moment and said, "The hunting palace is in chaos now, why did Zhou Shangyi let the princess go to Xiaoshuang Palace?"

Zhou Shangyi said: "How dare the slaves stop the princess's actions, the princess is worried about the safety of the emperor and the concubine, so she went to Xiaoshuang Palace."

Wei Ying showed a disappointed look on his face. Suddenly, he found that Zhou Shangyi was a little flustered, and his mind was full of threads. King Yong broke through, but Jiang Zhe did not accompany him. At least no one saw him. He searched the residence of King Yong by himself. The ruins after the fire were burned, but no body was found, so Jiang Zhe might still be in the palace, patrolling around by himself, and planning to search for this person, but he was not sure whether the person was really left, so he did not conduct a large-scale search, after all, now The advantage of Fengyi Sect is actually only a mirror. As long as someone climbs up and shouts, I am afraid that those banned troops will be unable to control. Thinking of the rumors, Princess Changle and Jiang Zhe are quite romantic. If this statement is true, then Jiang Zhe may be Just in the Hanxiang Garden, thinking of this, Wei Ying sneered and said: "In this case, let this official search the Hanxiang Garden. Now the rebellion in the palace has not been eradicated, if the princess is frightened, this official can't bear it. ."

Zhou Shangyi was shocked, but she knew that Hanxiang Garden could not be searched. Just when the fire started in the night, an uninvited guest suddenly came to Princess Changle's bedroom. Although Zhou Shangyi had never seen it, she knew about this person. Jiang Zhejiang Sima, a genius of Southern Chu, a confidant of King Yong, is also the favorite of Princess Changle. He was supported by a handsome young man with a cold temperament. Zhou Shangyi once heard that Jiang Zhe had a servant who was born in a Southern Chu eunuch by his side, but he didn't look like him. The secret of these two people's coming was that they broke into the princess's bedroom directly. At that time, only Zhou Shangyi was with him. Then the frail and haggard young man asked himself and his servants to guard outside. He and the princess talked secretly for a long time, and then Princess Changle took a few palace maids and the little eunuch Xiao Liuzi to Xiaoshuang Palace, and asked Zhou Shangyi before leaving. Take good care of Jiang Sima, and don't let others find out. But now Wei Ying wants to search Hanxiangyuan, what should I do? The princess has said that Wei Ying is a rebellious party. Wei Ying saw the change in her expression, and he was both happy and jealous. If he caught Jiang Zhe, he would be holding all the secrets of King Yong in his hands. He was about to enter the hall to search, but he remembered Li Shunlai, the "Evil Shadow". If the evil shadow was by Jiang Zhe's side, then he would have thrown himself into the net. Wei Ying didn't get Wen Ziyan's return in return, and he didn't know that Xiao Shunzi had broken through. Going out, Xie Ying is loyal to Jiang Zhe. This is a well-known thing. I don’t know how many people are embarrassed. Wei Ying has no courage to face such a master. Surround yourself, and then go to Concubine Lan to transfer some swordsmen." Originally, in order to avoid suspicion, he did not keep the swordsmen from Fengyimen by his side, but now, if there are no fierce swordsmen, he can't worry about it. Break in like that.

Hanxiangyuan, in the princess's bedroom, I sat on the soft couch, calculating the possibility of victory or defeat in my heart, but the situation was complicated and it was difficult to calculate. Fengyimen mobilized the power in the harem, stealing the talisman, and then isolating the emperor's contact with the outside world. In this way, Fengyimen had a local advantage, and then he could use the Jiao Zhao to mobilize all the emperor's power to surround and suppress King Yong. I would have thought that this kind of thing would happen in this place where the emperor has the most power. This is also the result of me underestimating the power of Fengyimen in the harem after several victories. But this is not the time to think about it. Princess Changle is the only thing I can reverse. The way of Qiankun, otherwise I will try my best, and at most it will be a lose-lose ending, which is something that Dayong cannot bear.

And after getting the emperor's secret decree and General Qin's token, the most important thing is how to send these safely out. Although I have already selected this candidate, I am not sure. If it fails, it will be irreversible. A ruthless light flashed in my eyes. If there is something wrong with this person, I must kill him immediately. I must not give him a chance to speak out. At that time, I will have to let Dong Que go, but Dong Que is not safe. It is very likely that he was intercepted and killed by people from Fengyi Sect on the way.

While I was thinking hard, the window lattice rang, and Dong Que came in floating and said in a low voice, "Young Master, things have been done, he will be there in a while."

I said solemnly, "Is he reliable?"

Dong Que said: "Young master, don't worry, my senior brother was placed under house arrest by Li Hanyou after the incident in the East Palace, and was released by the prince only a few days ago. My senior brother is already disheartened about Fengyimen and the prince, so I blame each other with righteousness. , he agreed."

I was relieved and said, "Did he recognize you?"

Dong Que said with a wry smile: "It seems that I have changed a lot. Although my brother has some doubts, he didn't recognize me. If I hadn't won the King Yong gold medal, he wouldn't have believed me."

I smiled slightly and said, "That's good, and you don't mind. I will put a ban on your senior brother in a while. This is also a last resort. This is the only possibility for His Royal Highness to reverse the situation. I can't take it lightly."

Dong Kuai nodded and said: "Senior brother will understand, and I know very well that as long as King Yong escapes, he will be temporarily weak, and he will be able to turn the tide after a while, but the loss will be greater. Son's arrangement."

I was about to continue when I heard footsteps and Zhou Shangyi's anxious voice: "Master Wei, you can't search the princess's bedroom, it's too rude."

There was a whimper in my heart, why did Wei Ying come here? Could it be that I am really exhausted. I quickly looked at the palace, I kept thinking about how to deal with Fengyimen, but I forgot to find a place to hide. Dong Que smiled bitterly, stepped forward to hold me, and pointed at the bed, I looked at him with inexplicable eyes. He gently stepped forward and clapped a few palms on the bed. Then the bed board slid away silently, revealing the dark compartment below. There was barely enough room for one person in it. My eyes widened, how could there be darkness here? grid. Dong Que ignored my doubts, lifted me up, and tapped on me a few times. I only felt that my mind was gradually blurring, vaguely as if I had been stuffed into a dark compartment, and then there was darkness in front of me.

Wei Ying ordered all the maids and eunuchs of Hanxiangyuan to be rushed into a side hall, and he led someone to search. After receiving his order, Xiao Lan sent Feng Feifei to come here. With less than that many people, the two searched the rest of the room. But they didn't find it, and in the end, the eyes of the two of them were focused on the princess's bedroom. Wei Ying hesitated for a while. If he really searched the princess's palace, no matter if he could find someone, I was afraid that Princess Changle would feel resentment towards him, but after thinking about it, if someone was found, he might be able to force the princess to submit. Therefore, Wei Ying said to Feng Feifei, "This is the princess's bedroom. I can't search it, so I asked the three girls to do it for me."

Feng Feifei smiled slightly, with a graceful and soft smile on her beautiful face, she lightly brushed her temples, she said softly: "If you can catch Jiang Zhe, Master must be very happy." She only said Wei Wei Ying was afraid of the evil shadow Li Shun, and felt a little contemptuous in her heart, so she took the sword and walked into the bedroom.

Hanxiang Garden was originally a palace for noble concubines or princesses, and concubines and clans with lower status were not eligible to live in. As soon as they entered the palace, they only felt that the decoration was gorgeous, elegant and noble, and Feng Feifei smiled faintly, although it was also nominally Princess, the place where Junior Sister Hanyou lives is far from here. She searched carefully, but found nothing. Although she is not very proficient in hidden weapons, it is certain that there is no secret room in this palace. , and finally her eyes focused on the bed. This bed was made of agarwood. It was very exquisite and had an elegant fragrance. Feng Feifei approached the bed and checked it carefully for a long time. The whole bed was completely integrated. After taking a look at the bed, he walked out of the palace.

Seeing Wei Ying, she shook her head slightly, Wei Ying frowned angrily, and offended Princess Changle again for no reason. At this moment, Xie Xiaotong and two female swordsmen from Fengyimen came over with a little eunuch. As soon as they saw Feng Feifei, Xie Xiaotong said excitedly: "Third sister, our side is about to succeed." She told Xiaoshuang Hall's affairs again, her words were clear and eloquent.

A hint of joy flashed in Feng Feifei's eyes, and said, "I didn't expect Princess Changle to be so knowledgeable, but we searched Hanxiangyuan here. We don't know if things will change because of this." He looked worried and annoyed. Wei Ying glanced. Wei Ying smiled slightly. Feng Feifei and the others were women anyway. Although they were vicious enough, they were not decisive enough. It was no wonder that the sect master Fengyi did not let them be responsible for this matter. But he didn't want to offend them, so he said lightly: "Just a warning, you are afraid that these servants will dare to say more, as long as these few days pass, it doesn't matter if they say it out, Princess Changle won't come back. When she arrives at Hanxiangyuan, she won't know about it for the time being."

Xie Xiaotong nodded and said, "Go do your business quickly." She said this to Xiao Liuzi, Xiao Liuzi nodded in panic, and ran to see Zhou Shangyi quickly, these palace maids and eunuchs quickly packed their things , Concubine Empress and Princess Changle have a lot of belongings, they will not be finished after a while, Wei Ying and Feng Feifei are too lazy to look at it, they explain to Xie Xiaotong and leave, after Wei Ying and others leave , the forbidden army also withdrew. At this time, a figure quietly stood up in the chrysanthemum bush. He was wearing a thin silk cloak. The color on it was very similar to the color of the flowers. Their purpose is to find a weak scholar who is helpless.

He gently entered the princess's bedroom. At this time, Xiao Liuzi and Zhou Shangyi were already waiting there. When Xiao Liuzi saw him, he whispered, "Where is the son?"

Dong Que pointed to the bed, Zhou Shangyi was relieved, this bed was secretly made in the palace, with hidden compartments, but not everyone knows about this, and Hanxiangyuan doesn't use it a few times a year, so No one knew about it anymore, and Concubine Changsun was the one who knew. She took it as a joke and told Princess Changle. Jiang Zhe took refuge here last night. The location told Dong Que, but Jiang Zhe thought how to reverse the situation, but did not pay attention to this matter.

Zhou Shangyi nodded reassuringly. Now is not the time to let Jiang Zhe out. Xiao Liuzi gave Dong Que the velvet and jade pendant that the princess gave him, briefly explained the situation, and then cleaned up the princess's belongings with Zhou Shangyi. Clothes and jewelry, they left the palace in a hurry. Not long after, they followed Xie Xiaotong and left Hanxiang Garden. The gate of Hanxiang Garden was also locked by them, and this place became a place not to be noticed.

Then Dong Que clicked the acupuncture point, and Jiang Zhe, who had a weak breath, hugged him out of the dark cell. Seeing that his face was pale, Dong Que quickly untied his acupuncture point, thinking: "There is no problem with him, this method It's the lightest."

When I woke up from the coma, I saw Dong Que's anxious face, I shook my heavy head and whispered, "Has anyone left?"

Dong Que said, "Don't worry, Young Master, Wei Ying has already left. This is from the princess." Then he handed me the velvet and jade pendant.

I unfolded the velvet, saw the seal on it, smiled slightly, instructed Dong Que to bring the pen and ink, and quickly wrote a few lines of words: "The prince rebelled, and Qin Yong obeyed King Yong, and the hunting palace rescued him. ."

Putting down the pen, I smiled and said, "As long as you deliver these two things to Qin Yong, you don't have to worry about it. By the way, can your brother be the messenger to pass the decree?"

Dong Que was about to answer when he heard footsteps coming from outside. Both of them were shocked. Could it be that Wei Ying is back
