Chapter 481 Ning An, you betrayed me?!(1/2)
An Yibo paused and watched the royal foresters bring a body from the side.
The rain was heavy and the torch illumination was limited. An Yibo could only see a bloody hole on the man's chest. The blood on his face was mixed with the rainwater, making it difficult to distinguish his facial features.
"Your Highness," An Yibo said to Li Shao, "I have just come down from Zhuangzi on the mountain. Li Du has been executed. I have confirmed that the body is his..."
Li Shao was still in a state of excitement and excitement. He didn't understand what An Yibo meant. He just said to himself: "Yes, Li Du was killed. Didn't you see that I killed him?"
"Your Highness!" An Yibo said loudly, "I am saying that Li Du's body is on the mountain and is being brought down by the soldiers. He is not here! The person you killed is probably not Li Du himself!"
This time, Li Shao heard clearly.
He almost jumped up, reaching out to pull back the long sword that An Yibo had taken away: "Nonsense! You're talking nonsense!"
An Yibo was agile and protected his sword: "Your Highness, you might as well take a look at it clearly."
"I said it with my own eyes! I watched him go from the Shanshen Temple to Ji'an, and I chased him all the way. How could it be wrong?" Li Shao was extremely impatient, "You said I didn't kill Li Du, do you think so?
Taking credit?!"
An Yibo has one head and two big heads.
He took all the credit!
His Highness disappeared from the paddock and came to Ji'an to block Lidu. After hearing the news, he came all the way to rescue him. How could he dare to think of any merit that would make His Highness full beard and tail already become Amitabha?
Besides, the one who killed Li Du was Shen Chen, who belonged to Xu Jian.
When discussing merit, one must also go to the Fuguo Palace.
He, An Yibo, is just cleaning up the mess and has no merit at all!
An Yibo was too lazy to argue with Li Shao about right and wrong. He walked to the forest guards and stretched out his hands to push away the hair covering the corpse's face. He wiped away the blood with the rain, revealing his facial features.
The torch came closer. He looked closely and said, "It looks like it, but it doesn't look like that much."
Several imperial guards also saw it clearly. After that, you looked at me and I looked at you, both of them were in trouble.
Several calls of "Your Highness!" came from the other end. Several people looked at the sound and saw someone running over. It was their little commander.
When the young commander saw that Li Shao was safe, half of his heart dropped. Then he saw Bo An Yi standing next to him, and the other half also calmed down.
"I just met the soldiers you brought, and they all said that you have arrived." The young commander hurriedly saluted, "It's good that you're here, it's good that you're here."
Otherwise, what use can a small leader like him do to the trouble in this town?
Now, we have a backbone.
Someone in the royal forest who was familiar with the young commander immediately started talking to him: "Uncle, the man who died was not the traitor Li Du."
"Ah?" The young commander stared, and immediately looked at the corpse.
Seeing this, my heart was in my throat again.
It’s over!
It doesn’t seem like it’s really Li Du!
"Your Highness, Xiao, Xiao..." the Xiao Commander stammered, suddenly remembering what Li Shao said at the mountain temple, and hurriedly went back, "The status of Xiao, I have only seen him from a distance.
I have been to Lidu several times, but I am not as familiar with him as you are, Your Highness.
I don’t dare to say for sure, Your Highness, would you like to come and take a look?”
Li Shao stepped forward, stared at the face of the corpse, and asked for a long time: "If this is not Li Du, who is that?"
The young commander cried sadly and remained silent.
When An Yibo saw this, he knew that for a while, he had nothing to do with Li Shao.
Fortunately, they also have another body.
"Your Highness," An Yibo said, no longer insisting on coming to an immediate conclusion, "This place is too chaotic. As I said before, I will escort you to the mountain temple first.
I also killed a Li Du there. He was fatally wounded in the throat and died after being stabbed in the throat with a dagger.
The one you have here suffered from a blood hole in his chest and died of excessive bleeding.
When it gets bright and the light is clear, place them side by side and you will know which one is right and which one is not."
Li Shao was very disgusted with the "other body" mentioned by An Yibo: "I didn't kill the wrong person!"
"I don't mean that," An Yibo finally patiently said, half supporting and half pulling Li Shao out, "Li Du is in this area, and he got the fake ones himself. He is an accomplice and a rebel.
Thief! No matter which one you kill, it is a matter of course. Even if you make a mistake for a moment, your Majesty was almost deceived by a fake Li Du before."
This is quite pleasant.
Li Shao was protected by An Yibo and left the town.
He did not want to take a carriage and rode to the mountain temple.
The rain gradually subsided, and I could clearly see the light of the torches in the mountain temple, and also saw a carriage parked nearby.
This carriage belongs to Lin Yunyan.
She was not in the car, but standing under the eaves of the temple, talking to Shen Chen in a low voice.
When she saw a group of people coming in, Lin Yunyan stopped talking, saw Li Shao's figure clearly among them, and hurriedly ran forward, with a worried look on her face: "Is your Highness okay? Eunuch Gao and I can't be found in the paddock.
You are worried. Calculate the time. Eunuch Gao will return to the palace to report the news. The manpower sent by the Holy Spirit should be here soon."
Li Shao was quite surprised to see Lin Yunyan.
Thinking back to what Su Chang said when he stopped his horse, his expression suddenly turned ugly: "Ning'an, you betrayed me!"
"Betrayal?" Lin Yunyan frowned, "Your Highness, you mean, I shouldn't ask Eunuch Gao to return to the palace to report the news? Shouldn't I ask An Yibo to send reinforcements?
Your Highness, have you forgotten that you said it yourself, if I feel something is wrong, I can just file a complaint.
I am an insider and know His Highness’s whereabouts, and I also guessed that His Highness wanted to secretly arrest Li Du. If I didn’t report it, if something happened, would I pay for your life?”
Seeing that the two were about to argue, An Yibo quickly persuaded them.
Just as he opened his mouth, he heard the distant sound of horse hooves, and the old man suddenly became serious: "Go and have a look!"
Hearing the commotion, there were quite a few people coming. If it was Li Du's remnant party, they couldn't be caught off guard.
Fortunately, the imperial guards arrived to help.
Tao Tong led the team, hundreds of people and horses, galloping all the way.
Eunuch Cao also came. In order not to fall behind, he was led by Commander Tao on a horse. He was so dizzy and sore in his buttocks that he could not stand firmly after he got off.
Not bothering to ask about Li Du's condition, Eunuch Cao first looked at Li Shao.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! His Highness was soaked to the skin and in a state of embarrassment, but he was not injured.
The next time he saw Lin Yunyan standing next to him, Eunuch Cao couldn't help but be startled.
The princess' face was pale and pale, and she looked like she was in shock. Fortunately, she was safe.
"It's okay, it's okay," Eunuch Cao's feet gave out and he almost fell to the ground, "Your Highness, Princess, it's great that you two are fine."
God knows that Eunuch Gao rushed back to the imperial court to report the news. His Majesty heard that His Highness dared to arrest Li Du with only thirty imperial guards, and his face was so dark that it was intimidating.
When he heard that the princess was going to the camp to move reinforcements, the Holy Emperor was not relieved and urged Eunuch Cao to call the imperial forest and come over.
Eunuch Cao knew what his Majesty was thinking.
Capturing Li Du is of course important, but His Highness's safety is higher than Li Du's.
It was only when they arrived at the mountain temple that Eunuch Cao realized that the princess had come here instead of returning to the city after moving the reinforcements.
"Why don't you..." He squeaked, "You shouldn't have come over to let the Empress Dowager know about it. You'd have to be very anxious!"
"I didn't think carefully," Lin Yunyan lowered her eyes and said, "I know I will cause trouble if I come, but I really don't worry. It's all because I'm not vigilant enough. If I had told the Holy Emperor and the Empress Dowager earlier, this wouldn't have happened.
…”
He admits his mistakes quickly and has a good attitude. How could Eunuch Cao chase after him and say that he only cares about Li Shao?
"Your Highness," he said, "Bo An Yi is here and there are hundreds of imperial guards. Let them stay and track down Li Du's whereabouts. I will send you and the princess back to the palace. The Holy One must have been thinking about you all night.
.”
"There is no need to check Li Du's whereabouts," Li Shao raised his chin and said, "He is dead, I killed him! I killed him with my own hands!"
Eunuch Cao was stunned when he heard this, not knowing whether it was true or not. He turned around and asked An Yi Bo with his eyes.
An Yibo hurriedly told what happened up and down the mountain: "The two corpses have not been compared together yet."
Li Shao insisted: "What I killed is true!"
Empty words.
Yes or no, you can tell at a glance.
The one from the town was brought back, and not long after, the carriage from the mountain also came down.
Eunuch Cao asked Lin Yunyan to stay away.
Lin Yunyan shook her head: "I'm not afraid."
The carriage stopped, and the driver was An Yibo's confidant. Uncle Chong nodded slightly, indicating that everything had been arranged.
To be continued...
