"I will not sit back and wait to be beaten, let alone die!" Xiao Xiang said with a stern expression: "Whoever wants to kill me, I will fight to the death with him!"
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but sigh, and said helplessly: "It's scary that Chang Feng carries me away. If he is by my side, why should I be afraid of a few assassins and my brothers?"
Who among the sisters dares to send an assassin to kill me?!"
What she said was obviously an exaggeration, and of course, she said it deliberately to Xing Yuan.
When the latter heard this, his body was really shaken. He knelt on the ground beside the bed with a plop, raised his hands and said: "I will protect the princess to the death, even if my body is broken into pieces, my liver and brain are bruised, I will not hesitate!"
"I understand your loyalty. Now the only person I trust and can rely on the most is you, sir." I don't know when Xiao Xiang's beautiful eyes started to shed tears.
Xing Yuan's body trembled again, he kowtowed forward and said with emotion: "Your Highness..."
"I'm a little tired, you should go and rest early!" Xiao Xiang sniffed and waved his hand gently.
"Yes! I'm retiring. The princess can rest peacefully. If an assassin really comes, he will have to step over my subordinate's body first!" Xing Yuan stood up, bowed deeply to Xiao Xiang on the bed, and then turned around and walked out.
Inner room.
After he left, Xiao Xiang sat up from the bed, her big eyes widened, and there was no trace of tears in them. She laughed coldly and muttered angrily: "If you want to fight with me, who will win?"
Not sure yet, and I don’t want to look in the mirror first to see how insignificant I am!”
Tang Yin, who had been lying on the room, was almost amused by Xiao Xiang's change of expression, as if he were flipping through a book. This woman was unruly and arrogant. She looked like a spoiled little princess, but she was actually not that simple!
Through the conversation between Xiao Xiang and Xing Yuan, Tang Yin could also understand the complex situation within the Sichuan Kingdom. For the supreme throne, the princes and princesses were fighting openly and secretly, even to the point where it was difficult to coexist. And the central court and local governments
The family army also has conflicts and suspicions that are difficult to resolve. It can be said that the difficulties faced by the Sichuan Kingdom are no less than those faced by the Feng Kingdom. No wonder Xiao Xuan is unwilling to go to war with his own country right away. In fact, the Sichuan Kingdom itself has its own problems.
to be processed.
Every family has a scripture that is difficult to recite! Tang Yin shook his head and smiled, not in ridicule, but in a bitter smile. He was not qualified to take pleasure in Sichuan's misfortunes yet.
Seeing Xiao Xiang talking energetically in the room, Tang Yin was no longer interested in continuing to listen. He slowly closed the removed tiles, and then slid down from the roof gently.
It was difficult to enter the backyard of the county capital, and it was even more difficult to get out. He waited in the darkness of the courtyard for more than an hour before finally finding an opportunity for the Sichuan Army to change the guard, climbed over the wall, and then quickly exited the county capital.
He came in from the side courtyard and went out from the side courtyard. When he got outside, his feet had just touched the ground when several people came running from a dark corner not far away. Tang Yin took a closer look and saw that it was Yin Lan.
Three A Si, Ren Xiao, often granted five people.
"My King, are you okay?" Yin Lan was the first to rush to Tang Yin, looking him up and down with concern on his face.
Tang Yin smiled lightly and said casually: "What can I do?"
"Why did your Majesty take so long to get in? We are almost dying of anxiety." Yin Lan's words were filled with concern and a hint of complaint.
"It's heavily guarded inside. It took a little time." Tang Yin looked around at everyone, changed the subject, and asked: "Have you been waiting here all this time? Where are the war horses?"
"We were worried about Your Highness, so we never left." Ren Xiao pointed back and said, "The horses are all tied over there." After a moment, he asked again: "Your Highness is inquiring inside.
What happened?"
"There's really a lot that I saw and heard." Tang Yin said cheerfully, and added in his heart, including Xiao Xiang taking a bath! With the help of Asan and Asi, he put on the Sichuan army armor again, and then
He and everyone got on their horses, and while walking slowly around the county capital, he told everyone the story of his trip in detail. Of course, he did not mention the part where he saw Xiao Xiang taking a bath.
After hearing what he said, everyone was shocked. Ren Xiao shook his head repeatedly and said: "I can't believe that the assassin was sent by Xiao Xiang's brother. Aren't they brothers and sisters?"
In Shenchi, there is no problem of the young master and the princess competing for power. There are even few opportunities for the young master and the princess to meet each other. When it comes to fighting for the throne, Ren Xiao is still very pure. In his opinion,
, brothers and sisters, connected by flesh and blood, killing each other, is simply difficult to understand and imagine.
Tang Yin sighed softly: "In front of the throne, let alone brothers and sisters, even close relatives like parents are willing to show hatred at critical moments!"
Ren Xiao still shook his head, expressing his incomprehension. Yin Lan said at this time: "Your Majesty, since this is an internal matter of the Sichuan Kingdom, let's not get involved. When Xiao Xiang leaves tomorrow and the county is lifted from the ban, we will return to the country as soon as possible!
"
Tang Yin waved his hands and said, "We can't leave yet!"
"Then the king wants to..."
"We have to secretly escort Xiao Xiang for a while, at least to get her out of Bianyang County, which is responsible for the situation." Seeing Yin Lan's expression full of confusion and anxiety about speaking, Tang Yin waved to her and explained: "Ensure Xiao Xiang's safety.
, which is beneficial to our country. Xiao Xiang’s idea is to slow down the war, which is in the interest of our country. Secondly, Xiao Xiang has many conflicts with the princes and princesses of Sichuan. This time when she returns to the capital, the conflicts between them will be intensified. Sichuan
Infighting among the royal family is bound to surface. As long as there is chaos within the royal family, the court will also be in chaos, which will create a lot of convenience for us."
Yin Lan pursed her lips. Even though she knew that what Tang Yin said was reasonable, she still felt uncomfortable when she heard that he wanted to secretly escort Xiao Xiang. She whispered in a low voice: "Did the king think that Xiao Xiang was beautiful, so he gave birth to a child?"
Let’s take pity on the fragrance and cherish the jade!”
Everyone around couldn't help laughing when they heard this. Although Yin Lan was not the king's woman, she was even more jealous than the madam and the princess.
Tang Yinze rolled his eyes and was too lazy to answer. Ren Xiao looked up and smiled, patted Yin Lan's back hard with his big hand, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I think that with you here, your king will not do anything to others.
Women have evil thoughts."
Yin Lanyu's face turned red. She first glared at Ren Xiao, and then took a furtive look at Tang Yin. At this time, the latter was twirling his fingers and rolling his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.
Everyone found a relatively quiet alley near the county capital, then dismounted their horses and slept in their clothes. If they wanted to secretly escort Xiao Xiang out of Bianyang County, they had to be energetic.
There was nothing to say that night, but in the early morning of the next day, there was movement inside and outside the county capital. Outside the gate, a large number of Sichuan soldiers and generals gathered. Among the soldiers, there was also a tall and luxurious carriage parked.
After waiting for about half an hour, Xiao Xiang, protected by many guards and surrounded by maids, finally walked out of the gate of the county capital. After coming out, he did not stop for a moment and got directly into the carriage. Then, the Sichuan Army troops started.
Head towards Nancheng.
Tang Yin and others, who had already woken up, saw it clearly. They first let the large procession of the princess' honor guard pass, and then followed closely behind. It looked like they were part of the princess' honor guard, the cavalry at the rear.
The Sichuan soldiers behind the guard of honor soon discovered Tang Yin and others. Several people stopped. When Tang Yin and others came to them on horseback, one of them asked: "Which army are you from?"
Tang Yin remained calm and calmly took out his military card and said: "The Fifth Army Corps of the Central Army!"
"Aren't you supposed to be at the border?"
"General Jin sent us to escort Her Royal Highness the Princess back to the capital." Tang Yin said without thinking. Tang Yin had no idea whether Jin Zhuo sent someone to escort Xiao Xiang, but it seemed that there were members of the Central Army in Xiao Xiang's guard of honor.
He speculated that the cavalry may have been assigned by Jin Zhuo. In fact, it was not the cavalry sent by Jin Zhuo. Jin Zhuo's task was to guard the border and escort the princess. It was not his responsibility. If he sent troops to escort, even if it was for the sake of
Good intentions, but also ultra vires behavior.
Tang Yin didn't understand this, and the local army didn't understand it even less. He heard that he was sent by General Jin Zhuo, and there were indeed Central Army cavalry in the princess' honor guard, so everyone didn't doubt it.
As they continued to walk forward with Tang Yin and others, they asked: "Shouldn't you cavalry be walking in front? Why are you the only ones staying behind?"
Tang Yin pretended to be helpless and gave a wry smile, and said: "Master Qian Fu didn't want to see us, so he moved them to the rear."
All the Sichuan soldiers looked at each other and smiled. It turns out that not only the local army is like this, but the Central Army is also like this! One of the older Sichuan soldiers said: "If you offend the commander, you will suffer in the future. I think
Your commander-in-chief treats you quite well, but he just transfers you to the rear. If you are sent to the front army as scouts, once you encounter the enemy, you will be the first to die."
"That's true!" Tang Yin nodded pretendingly.
Having become familiar with the Sichuan soldiers at the rear, Tang Yin and the six of them were able to do things much more conveniently. They no longer had to deliberately hide and be wary of being discovered. They could walk together with the Sichuan soldiers and know their identities.
There is also an extra layer of cover.
Soon, the princess' honor guard formed a large group and headed south to Sizhou County. As long as it passes through Sizhou County, it can enter Shengping County in Sichuan Kingdom.
It's just that Sizhou County is not an easy place to walk. It's mountainous, forested, watery, and swampy. The official road is not straight, but winds around the county. It's not a big county in the first place, and it has to be traversed.
It will take at least four or five days to get here.
On the third day after entering Sizhou County, the honor guard marched to the Lingyun Mountain area. Lingyun Mountain is one of the famous mountains in Sichuan. It is famous for its high and dangerous mountains. The official road is located at the foot of the mountain and passes along the mountain.
