A few miles of road is not too far for those who are riding horses. Not long after, everyone on the roadside saw the signal rising in the southeast. It was obvious that Leng Shuang had found Yu Chen. Bai Jingrong's face did not look good either. She
She may not have deep feelings for Yu Chen. Yu Chen has been doing nothing these years and the Jinluan Fu incident has almost come to an end. Yu Chen's usefulness to her has naturally plummeted.
But being threatened by a little girl like Luo Junyao, Bai Jingrong was naturally not in a good mood.
"Now, can we go?" Bai Jingrong said coldly.
Luo Junyao waved to her with a smile and said: "I wish Mrs. Rong a happy journey."
Bai Jingrong snorted softly, turned around and got into the carriage parked on the side of the road.
Probably because they really didn’t want to stop at Shangyong anymore, the team quickly started and moved slowly forward.
The official in charge of seeing him off secretly wiped his sweat, looked at Luo Junyao and said with a smile: "Thanks to the princess's astuteness, we were able to successfully find the assassin who assassinated the prince."
Luo Junyao smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are serious. It was us from the Royal Palace who accidentally chased the assassin and caused trouble for Your Majesty."
The official didn't even dare to say anything, and thought to himself: People say that the Princess Regent is arrogant and domineering, but now it seems that this may not be true. This Princess does not look like a pampered and willful person.
Luo Junyao glanced at Cui Zheyu, who was standing beside him in a daze, and said: "Boss Cui, go and meet Leng Shuang. Remember, the prince and I want Yu Chen to enter the prison alive."
Cui Zheyu bit her lip, cupped her hands and said, "Yes, Princess."
Cui Zheyu quickly mounted his horse and galloped away, and the others also packed up and prepared to return to the city.
Ji Rong rode his horse and followed Luo Junyao, looking sideways at the woman next to him as he went.
The too-young regent princess, with her bright eyes and bright teeth, looked very delicate and delicate. But just by looking at her threatening words to Bai Jingrong, you can tell that she was actually very clear about these power-based interests.
If she was really an arrogant woman, she might have just ignored Bai Jingrong and attacked her.
No wonder he tried to get close to her several times before, but to no avail? I'm afraid this girl has already seen through his mind.
"Ninth Prince, do you have any advice?" Luo Junyao naturally noticed Ji Rong's probing gaze and asked.
Ji Rong slowly withdrew her gaze and said, "It's nothing, I just didn't expect...my mother would give up on Yu Chen so easily."
Luo Junyao held the reins and chuckled, raising his eyes to meet Ji Rong's surprised gaze, "Don't the Ninth Prince know Yu Chen's identity?"
Ji Rong was stunned and said nothing.
Luo Junyao smiled and said: "It seems that I know. Yu Chen has made no achievements in the Qi tribe for so many years. Apart from King Qi's distrust and suppression, is there no other reason? With his status, if something really happened
I'm afraid her thoughts are more legitimate than Bai Jingrong's? Madam Rong hid Yu Chen in a residence outside the city, does she really want to take him back to the Qi people?"
Ji Rong's expression changed slightly, and she looked at Luo Junyao with a somewhat complicated look, "Did the regent or the eldest son Luo tell the princess?"
"Does anyone need to tell you this?" Luo Junyao asked in confusion, "The Ninth Prince asked these questions to tease me?" She didn't believe that Ji Rong, Bai Jingrong's biological son, didn't know what she could think of.
Ji Rong shook her head and said, "The princess is joking."
Luo Junyao sighed and said: "To be honest, your father's habit of throwing it away after use is really not good."
It's certainly not good for a superior to be overly loyal and indecisive, but it's not a good habit for Bai Jingrong to throw it away after use. Why didn't she think about whether there would be big problems if the people she discarded became resentful because of this?
?
Ji Rong thought for a while and said: "I have never seen anyone who was abandoned by their mother retaliate." At least, there is no one around Bai Jingrong who can be useful. As for some small fish and shrimps, what if they are resentful?
"..." This is a bit powerful.
Luo Junyao was a little curious, "What's the secret?"
Ji Rong looked at her speechlessly: Do you think I will know?
Luo Junyao sighed with some disappointment and murmured: "I thought you would learn something."
Ji Rong smiled lightly and said nothing, but Luo Junyao's eyes fell on him again, "If you don't talk about Mrs. Rong, what does the Ninth Prince want to do?"
Ji Rong said: "I'm just a proton. I can't control my life or death. What else can I do? I just want to live a stable life."
Luo Junyao rolled his eyes in his heart, patted the horse gently and ran forward without talking to him again.
This is too false to say.
The group of people separated after returning to the city. Ji Rong naturally had to go back to his hostage house, and the officials who saw him off also had to go back to pay errands. Only Luo Junyao had nothing to do, so he went to the south of the city to find Luo Jinxing.
The outside of Liushang Pavilion was still blocked by officers and soldiers and no one could enter, but Luo Junyao was obviously not among them.
We walked unimpeded all the way to the small courtyard that was bombed and burned the night before. It was already in ruins.
The officers and soldiers of the Dingguo Army blocked several surrounding streets, and a lot of manpower was deployed around the small courtyard. The officials and officers of the Yamen were clearing the ruins together with the officers and soldiers of the Dingguo Army, and corpses were pulled out of the ruins and placed on the
On the street outside the hospital.
Fortunately, it's winter now. If it were summer, it wouldn't be very smelly.
Hearing that Luo Junyao was coming, Luo Jinxing walked out quickly. Seeing the long row of horrifically dead bodies on the street, Luo Jinxing frowned and said, "Why are you here? This is not where you should be.
Where you are, go back quickly!”
Luo Junyao said: "I heard that the second brother is here, I came to see you. Don't worry, I'm not afraid."
The veins on Luo Jinxing's forehead couldn't help but twitch. He knew his sister was brave, but was this a little too big?
Many of those corpses were burned or blown to death, and some were even directly burned to charcoal. If he hadn't been fighting on the battlefield for many years, he might have been a little unbearable.
Luo Jun shook his arm and pulled him in, saying, "Okay, I'll come over and take a look. What is going on in this place? Is there really a treasure house there?"
Luo Jinxing couldn't resist her, so he had to let her pull him inside, "There are some things, but I'm afraid there are not as many as the legend says. We won't know how many there are until they are cleared out again. Half of the treasure house was destroyed by the explosion.
The entrance is also blocked.”
Luo Junyao nodded, "That's right. If I wanted to set a trap here, I wouldn't really set up a treasure house." Xue Ya really put a lot of gold and silver treasures in there, which was very kind.
A young captain came towards him, raised his hands to Luo Jinxing and said: "General, the corpses in the courtyard have been cleared up. Including the corpses found nearby, there are a total of 261 corpses, of which only less than 100 corpses can be identified.
Fifty, they are all the martial arts masters we were staring at a few days ago."
Luo Jinxing nodded and said: "Transfer all the corpses to Dali Temple and Jingzhao Yamen. You continue to clean up and dig, and be sure to restore this place to normal as soon as possible." This place is close to the most prosperous Nanshi in the capital. If it is kept blocked, the impact will be quite good.
Big ones. As for verifying the identities of those corpses, it's not their business.
"Yes, general." The captain took the order and left.
Luo Jinxing didn't want his sister to stay in this place where many people had just died, so when he saw nothing happened, he pulled Luo Junyao out.
"Second brother, where are we going?" Luo Junyao asked curiously.
Luo Jinxing said: "Where am I going? I'm going to Mingyin Pavilion in the west of the city. You go home."
Luo Junyao snorted, "I just caught a big fish and I came here to share it with you, and you treat me like this?"
Luo Jinxing raised his eyebrows, "What big fish?"
"Yu Chen." Luo Junyao said with a bit of pride. Luo Jinxing couldn't help being surprised when he heard this, "Have you caught Yu Chen?"
Luo Junyao said with a smile: "I just asked Mrs. Rong a few words. She felt that I was destined, so she told me the whereabouts of Yu Chen. Now Leng Shuang has taken Yu Chen to the prison."
Luo Jinxing glanced helplessly at his sister who was obviously talking nonsense, then turned around and walked in the other direction.
Luo Junyao immediately followed, "Second brother, where are you going?"
Luo Jinxing said: "Go to Tianlao."
"Do you have a grudge against Yu Chen?" Luo Junyao asked curiously.
Luo Jinxing sneered and said, "All Dasheng soldiers have a grudge against Yu Chen!"
Luo Jun shook his head and nodded. That's right. Although Luo Jinxing was still in his early ten years when Yu Chen rebelled, he had lived in border gates and military camps since he was a child. Naturally, Luo Jinxing had heard about Yu Chen's rebellion since he was a child.
Moreover, Luo Jinxing has a bold and loyal character, and he hates people like this who rebel in battle the most.
The Tianlao in the Imperial City has been extremely lively these days. In the past, the Tianlao, which was always quiet and solemn to gloomy, became lively because it was suddenly crowded with people.
The official in charge of the sky prison was even more frightened. A few days ago, he could not afford to offend any of the people locked up here.
Because of Wang Fan's escape from Tianlao back then, Tianlao has upgraded its defenses in recent years. It is no exaggeration to say that Tianlao is impregnable.
But even so, the officials in charge of Tianlao still felt as heavy as a mountain on their shoulders.
The deepest part of the Tianlao is a huge room. There are no windows on the four walls of the room. Even the roof is more than twice as high as an ordinary house. The roof is paved with marble, and no beams can be seen. Like this
If there is no light in the room, the whole cell will be completely devoid of light.
If this is not enough, there is a huge pool in the room. In the pool are seven or eight cages made of fine iron. The prisoners are locked in the cage, and the water directly reaches their chests. A thick iron rope hangs from the top of the cage.
The chains tie people up so tightly that even a master of martial arts cannot move inside.
The treatment in the cells outside is much better than here. Some are locked with three or five people together, and some can even live in a separate compartment.
The same thing is that although these people look a little embarrassed, the clothes they wear are of good quality, and they are obviously either rich or noble people.
Ruan Ting and Ning Wang happened to live opposite, and their environment was even better. Not only was it a single room, but it was also far away from other prisoners, making it much quieter. The cell not only had a bed, but also a table, stools and a separate oil lamp. In addition to
There's nothing wrong with being simpler.
The person living next door to them is Master Xue Ya. There is only a wall between him and Ruan Ting, but neither father nor son obviously has the desire to communicate. After entering the Tianlao, Xue Ya and Prince Ning occasionally exchanged a few words,
Ruan Ting was silent from beginning to end.
Xie Yan had not paid attention to them since they were imprisoned in the sky prison. In the blink of an eye, they had been imprisoned here for more than a day. Ruan Ting and Xue Ya were fine, but King Ning was already old but couldn't bear it anymore.
He knocked hard on the bars of the cell a few times, which immediately attracted the attention of Ruan Ting and Xue Ya across from him.
Ruan Ting opened her eyes, glanced at him and closed them again. Xue Ya sat leaning against the wall, looking at Prince Ning somewhat casually.
The commotion here quickly attracted the officials from Tianlao. An official came in with two guards, looked at Ning Wang and said, "What's going on?"
Prince Ning snorted coldly and said, "I want to see Xie Yan!"
The official looked at Prince Ning and said: "His Royal Highness the Regent is busy with official duties, and I am afraid that he will not have time to see the prince now. His Royal Highness the Regent has said that he please stay in peace and wait until he has finished taking care of the affairs of the court before he comes to visit the prince."
Prince Ning snorted coldly and said, "I want to see Xie Yan now!"
The official looked at him with some embarrassment, "My lord, I'm afraid..."
Prince Ning stared at the person in front of him with a gloomy expression. If he hadn't accidentally lost to Xie Yan, how could such a little man dare to deal with him like this?
After all, Prince Ning is a relative of the emperor, his majesty's great-uncle, and the uncle of the regent. Although he is now imprisoned in heaven, it would be fine if Prince Ning's lineage ends here. If not...he doesn't want to offend someone to death.
The official could only sigh softly and said: "I will order someone to report to His Highness the Regent, but I don't know if His Highness the Regent has seen the prince." After that, the official led the people and walked quickly.
left.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Prince Ning stared at his leaving figure with gloomy eyes.
Ruan Ting suddenly spoke and said calmly: "Prince Ning, you should put in less effort. Do you think the regent will let you live now?"
Prince Ning said: "I am a relative of the emperor and Xie Yan's uncle!"
Ruan Tingdao: "Five years ago, the three people the regent killed were all royal relatives. If Prince Ning dared to rebel just based on this, I can only say, no wonder you failed."
King Ning was furious and looked at Ruan Ting with a sneer: "I failed? Isn't Ruan Xiang here now?" Now there is no dignity in losing a move. King Ning seemed to have forgotten that he and the person in front of him were still relatives, and
Ruan Ting was really dragged into the water by them.
Ruan Ting said in a deep voice: "Thank you for the gift from the prince."
Prince Ning stared at Ruan Ting for a while, then turned his attention to Xueya. He suddenly smiled and said: "How could it be a gift from me? Isn't it the master's skill?"
Ruan Ting said calmly: "He is not my son."
Hearing this, King Ning was startled, "Not your son? Then you..." Is Ruan Ting crazy? He had hinted him several times before and refused to accept it, but ended up getting involved for a fake son?
Ruan Ting looked at Prince Ning with even more sympathy and pity, "What did he tell you? Tell you that he is my son, so I will definitely help you? The people of Luanyi Division will do their best to help you ascend the throne.
?”
Prince Ning did not answer, and Ruan Ting sighed: "Fortunately you failed, otherwise... you would have been destined to be a puppet, and you might not even know how you died."
Prince Ning stared at Ruan Ting and said, "What do you mean?"
Ruan Ting said: "Luanyi Si only wants to seize the throne through you. As for who will really be in power after seizing the throne, I am afraid it is not up to Prince Ning to decide. Mr. Xueya, am I right?"
Xue Ya raised his head and looked at Prince Ning who was looking at him without answering. He was silent for a moment before laughing softly.
