Princess Changle was dressed in a crimson palace dress, with a pink and white cloak draped over her shoulders. She had a bun with a bun, and her eyebrows were picturesque. The maid held up a huge oil-paper umbrella and protected her as she walked out of the door.
Standing at the door, Princess Changle frowned slightly.
In the originally spacious courtyard, the three-step, one-post, five-step and one-post guard posts were filled with fully armed guards. Several chamberlains were waiting at the door carrying a chariot, and the captain of the Imperial Guard stood on one side with his sword on his waist.
Princess Changle frowned slightly, but she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Seeing the guards' tight defense as if they were facing a formidable enemy, she knew that Fang Jun must not have been found by these people yet...
"Captain Yuwen, I'm just visiting the city for a bit of fun, why do I feel like I'm facing a formidable enemy?"
Her voice was clear and clear, but her eyes looked very dissatisfied.
Lieutenant Yuwen took a step forward, his expression did not change due to Princess Changle's questioning, and he said respectfully: "Last night, a thief accidentally broke into the Suzhou County soldiers' station outside the village, causing Suzhou Sima Shen Wei to be injured. I will be escorted by the emperor on the order of the emperor." Your Highness’s safety is at stake. I dare not be careless, and please forgive me.”
Princess Changle nodded slowly and said, "So that's the case. It's a blessing to Captain Yuwen."
Thinking that this manor has three layers of guards inside and outside, Fang Jun will soon be able to escape from the trap that the thieves have planned for a long time, and even be able to severely injure the leader of the thieves at the critical moment. This wisdom and bravery are truly world-class. Rare.
Women are born to worship the strong, and it is inevitable that they will feel a little proud...
Colonel Yuwen said respectfully: "This is the duty of a junior general. How can it be worthy of His Highness's praise?"
Princess Changle hummed, and without saying another word, she walked out of the door. The maid beside her held up an oil-paper umbrella, and someone else bent down and followed suit, gently lifting the skirt of her skirt to prevent it from being contaminated by the rainwater on the ground.
After boarding the chariot, several chamberlains carried the chariot on their shoulders and walked steadily towards the gate. There was already a carriage waiting there.
There are more than ten guards accompanying you to protect your safety.
Captain Yuwen was still standing at the door of the room, looking up at the gray sky. The dark clouds were as heavy and oppressive as plummets, and the rain fell from the sky in strands, weaving into a large and dense net, covering everything on the earth.
He turned his head slightly and looked around, seeing all his confidants. Then he patted the scabbard of the horizontal sword at his waist and said calmly: "Go in and search."
"Here!"
Several guards received the order and rushed into the main door in two or three steps, causing the maids in the room to scream.
"What are you doing?"
"A thief sneaked into the manor last night, and we were ordered to hunt him down."
"How presumptuous! This is His Highness's boudoir. Aren't you afraid of blaspheming His Highness?"
"We are here under orders, get out of the way quickly!"
…
There was a flurry of excitement in the small building.
Lieutenant Yuwen stood in front of the door in the rain, raised his left hand and waved. The guards behind him immediately ran around and surrounded the entire building. Even a fly that flew out could not escape their blockade. .
Colonel Yuwen's expression was calm, but his heart was very anxious.
In the middle of the night, Shen Wei sent someone to tell him that Fang Jun had escaped with injuries, and asked him to cooperate in searching the manor to prevent Fang Jun from hiding inside, which scared him so much that he almost lost his mind.
Everything has been carefully planned and has been brewing for a long time. Almost every step has been carefully calculated, and even Fang Jun's psychological activities have been taken into account to ensure that nothing goes wrong. After all, it is not only them who are the perpetrators, even the The big bosses far away in Guanzhong cannot bear the consequences of failure.
It still failed...
In panic, he mobilized his cronies to search the manor overnight, but there was never any clue that Fang Jun had sneaked into the manor.
He once thought that the so-called Fang Jun sneaking into the manor was just Shen Wei's excuse to shirk responsibility.
But Princess Changle wanted to go to the city early in the morning to see the Eight Gates of Suzhou, which made him suddenly suspicious!
He must not be able to stop her. He is just the leader of the imperial guard and cannot prevent Princess Changle from going out. However, the doubts in his heart are getting stronger and stronger, so he must search carefully for Princess Changle's residence. Once he finds that Fang Jun is hiding there, He can only be determined to eradicate the root cause.
Fang Jun was attacked by Suzhou County soldiers and imperial guards. He must have realized that someone among the imperial guards had received a secret order from the Guanlong nobles, and he would definitely tell Princess Changle. So no matter whether Fang Jun could be put to death, Changle would be The princess will definitely tell the whole story in front of His Majesty Li Er.
There will be countless people involved.
So as long as Fang Jun is found in Princess Changle's room, not only Fang Jun will die, but Princess Changle will die too!
But he could still get away with Fang Jun's death. Princess Changle died. How could he, as the leader of the imperial guard, still survive?
So Captain Yuwen seemed calm at the moment, but in fact he was worried about gains and losses and was in a mess.
I not only hope that Fang Jun can be found and kill a hundred people with one knife, but also hope that Fang Jun has never sneaked into the manor, let alone Princess Changle's room. Princess Changle went out to play, and it was really just a whim...
After a long time, the henchman came out of the small building sweating profusely, ran to him and whispered: "There is no trace."
Colonel Yuwen breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the crime of killing the princess was too serious. Once he took action, he would be dead...
Since Fang Jun was not found hiding in Princess Changle's room, it means that Princess Changle didn't know about it at this time, so there is no need to chase her and kill her. He nodded slowly and said in a deep voice: "Although Princess Changle doesn't know about it, you guys do. We must step up the search for hidden places in the village. We are not afraid of ten thousand, but we are afraid of the worst. We cannot take any chances. Otherwise, if Fang Jun escapes by hiding here, too many people will be implicated afterwards. We It’s also difficult to protect yourself.”
The confidant looked solemn and said hurriedly: "Don't worry, Lieutenant, we are fully aware of the importance of the relationship and we dare not be negligent in the slightest!"
Colonel Yuwen nodded slightly and said: "Go ahead, keep your eyes open and don't miss anything suspicious, but you must also be careful not to arouse the suspicion of others, especially Princess Gaoyang!"
"Here!"
Seeing his cronies rushing to various parts of the village, Colonel Yuwen walked slowly in the rain, and the doubt in his heart could not be extinguished: Where is Fang Jun hiding?
*****
The rain was falling heavily, and the chamberlain carrying the chariot walked very slowly.
Princess Changle on the chariot knew very well that these people must have been bribed and were deliberately delaying time. When she left the small building, those people would definitely go in and search immediately. Once they found any clues about Fang Jun, they would immediately catch up.
Since they dare to assassinate a prince, they will definitely not care about killing another princess.
Although she had carefully cleaned up the room after Fang Jun left last night, making sure not to leave any traces, being so close to the God of Death still made her nervous. She held her delicate hands tightly, unconsciously Cold sweat broke out on his palms.
No matter how slow you walk, as long as you keep walking, you will be able to walk out of the manor sooner or later.
It wasn't until she arrived at the gate of the manor, where a gorgeously decorated carriage was waiting, that Princess Changle let out a long sigh.
After boarding the carriage, she lifted the curtain and looked at the guards who were still closely guarding her on both sides, feeling very complicated.
As a noble and noble member of the Tang Empire, life and death are still controlled by the powerful hands of these powerful people. She believes that as long as any trace of Fang Jun is found in the small building, these guards will have already taken out the weapons from their waists by now.
Killing yourself with a horizontal sword won't take half as much effort as killing a chicken.
No wonder the father and the prince's brother, Fang Jun, have been working tirelessly to suppress the power of the clans. It is precisely because these clans not only have no law in their eyes, but also have no loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.
They only care about their own interests.
Once their own interests have been damaged and they are eager to stop the loss, or to seek greater benefits, they will not care about turning the Tang Dynasty into the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Great Sui Dynasty, as they have done before, the so-called destruction of life and starvation everywhere. In their eyes,
Not worth mentioning at all.
The carriage wheels rolled over the road paved with bluestones. The flowers, trees and grass on both sides of the road were washed green by the rain. Although the winter in Jiangnan was wet and cold, it was by no means like Guanzhong, where the vegetation was withered and desolate. There was still a lot of greenness.
A poetic and picturesque atmosphere amidst the coldness.
When the Suzhou County soldiers guarding the roadside saw the carriage passing by, they stopped and performed military salutes.
Princess Changle in the car saw this scene, put down the car curtain in her hand, and hid her face behind the car curtain, but her clear eyes were cold.
After traveling for a while, the carriage slowly stopped.
A voice sounded from the front: "It's raining heavily today. Even if your highness is enjoying your trip, you should consider the inconveniences caused by the weather. I hope your highness will consider the hardships of our soldiers to protect you and cancel your trip."
