Prince Yingchuan took his wife's leg and walked away with a smile.
Murong Shen suppressed the raging anger in his heart and stepped into the emperor's palace.
Emperor Yongming had just put on his dragon robe, and his plump face looked green and red after indulgence.
In the previous life, the prince died suddenly, which dealt a fatal blow to Emperor Yongming. Emperor Yongming had no interest in government affairs and indulged in pleasure, and died in a woman's belly within a few years.
In that life, Emperor Yongming would die earlier and faster if he took the medicine of tiger and wolf every month and had his dragon body hollowed out by a woman.
Murong Shen bowed his legs in front of him and saluted: "The emperor is summoning the general to come here, but I don't know what his instructions are."
As far as Emperor Yongming was concerned, Murong Shen's knife was sharper and smoother than Murong Yao's. Murong Shen could always handle errands that were not suitable for exposure to light.
Therefore, when Emperor Yongming had any errands, he immediately thought of Murong Shen.
"I'm going to Jizhou." Emperor Yongming opened his mouth and ordered: "Go and welcome the prince back to the capital."
Murong Shen's brows jumped: "Your Majesty, the Prince's Palace said in the memorial before that he would depart in July, why did he suddenly return to Beijing early?"
Emperor Yongming was in a good mood, and rarely had the patience to explain a few words: "The prince has been away from Beijing for half a year, and the queen is worried on moonlit nights, and I am always thinking about him. He wants to return to Beijing early. I will lead five hundred guards and go to welcome the army."
This is simply a father's intention to mistreat his son.
Murong Shen had no room to refuse the emperor's decree, so he accepted the order with his arms crossed.
After a while, Murong Shen left the palace and stood outside the palace.
He stood facing northwest, his eyes forbearing and painful.
That night was extremely long and difficult.
At dawn, Murong Shen gathered all the five hundred imperial guards and asked them to pack their bags after half a month, and set off after noon.
He did not go back to Murong Mansion or the military camp, but rode his horse to Hulu Alley.
…
Calabash Alley has been blocked at all levels.
As soon as Murong Shen showed up, he immediately alarmed all the soldiers of the Prince of Beihai.
"Xu San, Murong Shen is here."
After searching for a long time and a whole night, all the soldiers' eyes were red. Xu Qiliu's voice was hoarse and he was almost speechless: "What should we do now?"
Xu San's eyes were bloodshot, and he squeezed out each word through his teeth: "Let him in first. If Mingyue cannot find Miss Zhao, he will risk his life to beg Murong Shen to stay."
The entrance to the secret passage was at a well, and the exit was at a house two streets away. When they looked for it, the house was already empty.
Xu Qiliu proposed to disperse the search, but Xu San insisted on staying in that house.
He had a strong premonition that Miss Zhao was not far away and was very much there.
The arrival of Murong Shen further verified his guess.
After a cup of tea, Murong Shen stepped into the house.
Xu San ordered all the soldiers to disperse, leaving only ten people in the house.
Murong Shen only had a few soldiers with him.
There were more than a dozen tall and strong men standing in the small courtyard, and they suddenly seemed cramped.
The eyes of Xu San and others all fell on Murong Shen, like a pack of hungry wolves staring at their prey.
Murong Shen glanced briefly and tugged at the corner of his mouth with a sneer: "We all stayed there, and Xu San went to the backyard alone."
As he said that, he just walked over.
Xu Qiliu was startled and quickly looked at Xu San. Xu San shook his head at him, indicating that he would not act rashly, and followed him.
Bu Shen Murong Shen sells some medicine in his gourd. Now that the bright moon is here, don’t even think about leaving.
More than three hundred soldiers are nearby, and they can all arrive at the sound of a whistle.
Murong Shen walked to the well, glanced at it, and solemnly ordered the extra thin soldier beside him: "Go east and bring them all out."
The soldier responded, braced his legs on the wall of the well, and quickly entered the secret passage.
Xu San's eyelids twitched fiercely.
There must be something else going on in that secret passage.
…
In the secret room.
The two secret guards stared straight at me, as if they would draw their swords and rush over at any time, which was scary.
Yuhandong rubbed his legs and arms consciously, and whispered to Zhao Xiyan: "Miss, I don't know what time it is now."
The secret room was deep in the east of the earth, with no sky or moon visible. No movement outside could be heard, and there were just the four of them. Time passed extremely slowly.
Hosta was obviously exhausted, but couldn't fall asleep.
Zhao Xiyan closed her eyes and slept for a while. Shortly after waking up, she ate two cakes and drank a bowl of cold water, and she was in good spirits.
"The water and cakes there are enough for three or four days." Zhao Xiyan said softly: "Don't worry, it won't take long for someone to come."
But the black mole secret guard was particularly anxious. She had not slept for such a long time, and her spirit was tense. She suddenly said to the tall secret guard: "There seems to be movement outside."
The tall secret guard frowned and was glaring at her when a strange sound suddenly came from his ears, and his expression suddenly changed.
Someone is coming.
No who?
Yuhan was so excited that her heart beat out of her chest, and Dong unconsciously stretched out his legs to grab Zhao Xiyan's legs.
Zhao Xiyan's legs were also shaking slightly, but her expression remained calm.
The door of the secret room was pushed open from the outside, and a thin man got in.
Zhao Xiyan's heart sank.
The two secret guards breathed a sigh of relief, and their eyes flashed with joy. They were not the young master's personal soldiers.
"Is the young master here?" the black mole secret guard asked in a low voice.
The thin soldier nodded, glanced briefly, and said solemnly: "Young Master has ordered us to take Miss Zhao out."
The two secret guards were not surprised. However, they were used to following orders and didn't ask many questions.
Yuhan's heart tightened, and she rushed over without thinking, guarding Zhao Xiyan, and her voice suddenly became sharp: "You are not allowed to touch the lady."
The black mole secret guard sneered and was begging for help when Zhao Xiyan's voice rang out: "You don't have to knock them out, as long as they don't struggle and resist."
The skinny soldier, Murong Shen's confidant, obviously knew his master's intentions, and said in a deep voice: "I don't want to move my legs."
The black mole secret guard stopped in frustration and got out of the secret room first and entered the secret passage.
Zhao Xiyan held the hosta in front and entered the secret passage one after the other. The tall secret guards followed closely behind, and the thin soldiers lined up at the end.
When she came in, Zhao Xiyan was unconscious. She opened her eyes and could see clearly.
Who would have thought that there is a trap in the middle of the secret passage and a secret room in the east?
A rope hung down to the east.
The black mole secret guard hugged Zhao Xiyan with one leg and held the rope tightly with the other leg. As expected, Zhao Xiyan did not struggle and resisted, and was pulled out of the wellhead by the rope.
"girl!"
A familiar voice sounded. The voice was hoarse and choked.
Zhao Xiyan glanced at Xu San, who was haggard and with red eyes, and sighed softly: "Xu San, those confinements have been hard on me."
Xu San almost burst into tears.
During that period of time, he was anxious on the moonlit night, and he managed to survive until now with just one breath.
Zhao Xiyan raised her eyes and looked at the handsome young man not far away with a cold face and sinister eyes: "Murong Shen, what do I have to say?"
