Xiyuanshan was kidnapped from the prison, which made Ran Yunpo extremely angry. However, not long after sending people to search, things took a turn that made Ran Yunpo puzzled.
Ran Yunpo originally suspected that Xi Yuanshan was rescued by Xi Honglei. But... Ran Yunpo looked at Xi Yuanshan's body in front of him, puzzled. Who deliberately rescued Xi Yuanshan and then killed him?
The enemy of Xiyuan Mountain?
Xi Yuanshan's body was found in a busy city, so the news naturally spread throughout the streets and alleys very quickly, shocking countless people.
This is naturally another difficult problem for Ran Yunpo to deal with. In just a few days, several ministers of the court and central government died. Not to mention the disappearance of Xi Honglei, the sudden attack of the Zizi Kingdom also made Ran Yunpo
Some are too much to bear.
Before Ran Yunpo ascended the throne, Zizi Kingdom had been ready to move many times. Ran Yunpo personally led troops to the border not once or twice. But every time he went there, Zizi Kingdom would suddenly withdraw its troops, leaving them helpless.
The terrain of Zizi country is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you rush over rashly, it will cause great losses. So at that time, Ran Yunpo did not take action for the sake of safety. But now the situation is very different, because the enemy has already
Came to the door.
Ran Yunpo was thinking about a plan on how to deal with Zi Ziguo, when Ran Yunhao suddenly rushed in with a panic look on his face.
"Brother Imperial, it's not good!"
"What's wrong?" Ran Yunpo looked at Ran Yunhao's uncomfortable expression and asked.
"Leng Xiao has shown up. Just outside the city."
Ran Yunhao's words made Ran Yunpo stand up and strode to Ran Yunhao's side. Ran Yunpo asked in a low voice: "Where is it? Take me there."
Ran Yunhao glanced at Ran Yunpo uneasily and nodded slightly. He and Ran Yunpo walked towards the door. The two of them got on their horses and took many guards with them. They galloped all the way towards the city gate.
Arriving at the city gate, Ran Yunpo saw the white figure in the distance at a glance. Jumping off the horse, Ran Yunpo clenched his fists patiently and stared at Leng Xiao silently.
Leng Xiao squatted on the ground bored, holding a piece of weed in his mouth. After spotting the appearance of Ran Yunpo and others with his peripheral vision, Leng Xiao stood up from the ground slowly and spit out the weed in his mouth.
, looking at Ran Yunpo lazily.
"The common people meet the emperor."
Ran Yunpo couldn't help but sneer when he heard Leng Xiao greeting him. Ran Yunpo followed the crowd and approached Leng Xiao step by step. Ran Yunpo felt an inexplicable anger in his heart when he saw his fearless appearance in the face of danger.
"Leng Xiao, I ask you, do you know your guilt?" Ran Yunpo stopped and left a short distance between him and Leng Xiao. He asked in a clear voice: "You killed Xiyuan Mountain and General Song Dali.
And Lieutenant General Song Dayong, do you still have the guts to appear in front of me now?"
"Your Majesty, this is not what the common people did. Don't put it on the common people casually. The common people can't bear it." Leng Xiao heard what Ran Yunpo said and felt wronged. "I showed up specifically today to let the emperor find out and attract the emperor."
I came here because I wanted to tell the Emperor something very important. If the Emperor doesn't want to hear it, then just leave now and don't say anything anymore."
"Leave?" Ran Yunpo raised the corner of his mouth with an evil smile and looked at the mask on Leng Xiao's face with contempt, "A loser who doesn't even dare to show his true face. Do you think I will let you leave with your life today?"
"Your Majesty, it would be better if you don't say this too harshly." Leng Xiao shook his head with a sigh, looked at the hundreds of guards behind Ran Yunpo, and said meaningfully: "You brought people here, and I, too
I may not just be here alone. Do you think I would be so stupid that I would come to see you rashly without making any preparations?"
Leng Xiao's words made Ran Yunpo and Ran Yunhao immediately alert. They looked around vigilantly. Their reactions made Leng Xiao smile silently.
"Your Majesty, I wonder if your empress is in the palace now?" Ran Yunpo stopped talking, and Leng Xiao had no choice but to continue the topic. Asking the question that made Ran Yunpo extremely concerned, Leng Xiao looked at Ran Yunpo's eyes that were blinded by murderous aura at that moment, and lightly
Laughing out loud. "Your Majesty, don't look at me like that, I'm scared."
"Leng Xiao, if you are sensible, please hand her over as soon as possible!" Ran Yunpo gritted his teeth and said, "Otherwise, I will not spare you!"
"Your Majesty, your words have put the common people in trouble." Leng Xiao shrugged indifferently. "Your concubine is gone, how can you blame me? Besides, even if she is really in my hands,
You also have to ask her if she is willing to come back to you. Otherwise, why would she be willing to leave with me?"
"Presumptuous!" Ran Yun trembled with courage, "You kidnapped my beloved concubine, and now you dare to use forceful words?!"
Leng Xiao watched Ran Yunpo getting angry in silence. This was the scene he had wanted to see for a long time, and it was also the ending he hoped for. With a narrow light flashing in his eyes, Leng Xiao stood there motionless and silent,
Looked at Ran Yunpo quietly.
Here is Leng Xiao standing alone, and over there is Ran Yunpo leading hundreds of imperial guards. The two of them are standing opposite each other, neither of them has any intention of taking a step back, and neither of them has the intention of letting the other go.
Suddenly, Leng Xiao sighed softly and said in an evil voice: "Your Majesty, since you don't believe it, then I will take you to see her. Or, I will call her over and let her admit to you in person that she
She doesn’t want to stay by your side and she wants to leave with me?”
Leng Xiao's words made Ran Yunpo no longer able to suppress the anger in his heart. He drew out the sharp sword in his hand and Ran Yunpo roared: "Get the thief Leng Xiao!"
As soon as Ran Yunpo said this, everyone immediately started to rush towards Leng Xiao. But at this moment, the sound coming from behind forced them to stop.
"Everyone, stop for the Ai family!"
The voice revealed a majesty that they could not resist. Everyone turned around and saw the Queen Mother, Shu Rumei, riding on horseback with a serious look on her face.
Shu Rumei looked down at the situation in front of her, and glanced at Leng Xiao coldly. Seeing Leng Xiao standing there with fluttering clothes, looking at her in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, Shu Ru frowned without a trace.
, jumped off the horse.
"Mother, why are you here?" Ran Yunpo was surprised by Shu Rumei's arrival.
Shu Rumei glanced at Ran Yunpo indifferently and said nothing. Is it okay if she doesn't come? If she doesn't come, there's no telling how much loss Ran Yunpo will suffer!
Shu Rumei recalled the scene in the palace just now. She was lying in the palace to rest, but a sharp arrow shot from outside the door broke Shu Rumei's leisurely calm.
Shu Rumei took off the letter on the arrow and read it carefully. Without thinking too much, she immediately prepared her horse and headed towards the city gate. The letter must be Leng Xiao's masterpiece. How dare he read it in broad daylight.
He entered the palace to do evil things. Now besides Leng Xiao's people, Shu Rumei could not find any other target of suspicion.
"Leng Xiao, what do you want?" Shu Rumei looked at Leng Xiao calmly and asked, "What do you want, tell me."
"Will the Queen Mother give me whatever I want?" Leng Xiao asked with interest.
"As long as you say it, I will find a way to satisfy you."
"The Queen Mother has such a strong tone!" Leng Xiao said with a joking smile: "Well, I want the throne of Xuanxuan Kingdom. How about asking your son to abdicate and let me be the emperor for a few days?"
Leng Xiao's bold words had already angered everyone. However, Shu Rumei kept telling them not to take action, because Shu Rumei knew in her heart that Leng Xiao must have come prepared this time. If the people on her side were really
If you are angered by him and take action, it is very likely that you will be completely defeated and not many people will be left! That will inevitably be another big blow to Ran Yunpo. Moreover, Shu Rumei also has her own plans in mind.
The arrival of Shu Rumei caused subtle changes in things. Seeing that Shu Rumei had been refusing to let Ran Yunpo's people take action, Leng Xiao understood what she had in mind. But the purpose of his coming here today was to give someone to her.
She and Ran Yunpo hit hard, and Shu Rumei didn't take action, so how could Leng Xiao give up?
Leng Xiao blew his whistle, and soon, there was another sound of horse hooves in the distance. A person who shouldn't be here just appeared in their sight.
Hongjin was wearing a light green dress and came on horseback. When she got to Leng Xiao's side, Hongjin didn't even get off the horse, she just looked straight at Ran Yunpo with contemptuous eyes.
The moment Ran Yunpo saw the red scarf, his body was already extremely stiff. Looking at the red scarf's eyes as if he were looking at a stranger, Ran Yunpo felt even more heartbroken. And this feeling continued with the red scarf.
After Jin opened his mouth to speak, it became clearer and more intense.
"Your Majesty, haven't I already left you a message?" Hongjin said softly, "I didn't lie to you, I really don't love you. The only person I love from beginning to end is Leng Xiao. Why do you
Are you still coming here? Why are you forcing me to show up? Can't you just let me leave your control peacefully?"
"Xi Honglei, do you know what you are talking about now?" Ran Yunpo gritted his teeth and listened to his own voice, but he could only see her.
"I know very well what I'm talking about, and I hope the emperor knows what I'm talking about." Hongjin answered Ran Yunpo's question happily, then raised the corners of her mouth provocatively and smiled. "But if the emperor can't understand me, I
There is nothing surprising. Anyway, Your Majesty, you have always been so stupid, otherwise you would not have been fooled by me for so long without knowing it."
Hong Jin's words completely angered Ran Yunpo. Ignoring Shu Rumei's obstruction, Ran Yunpo took the lead with a long sword in hand and rushed towards Hong Jin and Leng Xiao.
As soon as Ran Yunpo moved, the imperial guards behind him accelerated their pace and followed closely behind him. At the same time as Ran Yunpo took action, dozens of Leng Xiao's men who were hiding in the dark also immediately appeared and blocked Leng Xiao's path.
