Chapter 1418: 723 Trouble
The line was in chaos.
Kui Lang's black horse was also tripped by the tripping horse rope, but he was experienced after all. The moment the horse landed, he stretched out his hand to support the horse, and then rolled out... After two or three laps , He quickly stabilized his body, except for his robes that were slightly worn by the gravel on the ground, he was unscathed.
Before Kui Lang could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard a sharp exclamation from a woman behind him: "Help! Help this Gong!"
Oops? !
Kui Lang secretly thought that something was wrong, and when he followed the sound, he saw that the third princess' red wheel car had turned its direction, and a masked man in black sat in the driver's seat instead of the driver. Speeding toward a muddy path beside the road, weaving through the dense woods...
"His Royal Highness Third Princess!" The nervous voice of Marquis Pingyang came from behind. He waved his sword to block the flowing arrow and shouted, "Her consort, save Her Royal Highness!"
For Kui Lang, whether the three princesses are dead or alive, or what kind of situation they end up in, what does it have to do with him? !
Kui Lang didn't want to take care of the third princess at all, but this shout from Marquis Pingyang reminded Kui Lang of one thing. He still has nothing and needs the help of Emperor Dayu. If something happens to the third princess, he will no longer be It is Dayu's concubine, so why does Emperor Dayu help him to restore himself? !
At this critical moment, the three princesses must not lose!
Kui Lang's complexion changed suddenly, he drew out the long knife beside him, waved the knife and shouted, "Quick! Follow me to save His Royal Highness the Third Princess!"
Kui Lang snatched a horse from a soldier who was accompanying him, flew up, and hurriedly rode his horse toward the path. Four or five other soldiers who were not dismounted followed closely.
"Ta Tata..."
This small road is winding and deep, and they have long since lost sight of Zhu Lunche, but they can vaguely hear the sound of wheels and wheels in front of them, as well as the horseshoe and rut marks left by Zhu Lunche on the road. indicated the way forward.
After Kui Lang and the others chased for two or three miles, they turned another big bend, and then they were shocked by the scene in front of them...
"Master Consort." A soldier exclaimed nervously, "It's the princess' carriage!"
A few dozen feet in front, the third princess' red-wheeled cart overturned beside a deep forest, the horse pulling the cart fell to the ground with a whimpering neigh, and the man in black who was driving the cart disappeared...
Kui Lang's face was so gloomy that it almost dripped with water, if the third princess had an emergency...
Kui Lang quickly got off his horse and walked towards the overturned red-wheeled cart. In the next instant, several black arrows shot out from the woods "swish, swish, swish", and before the soldiers accompanying him could react, they had already been shot. Shot in the eyebrows fell from the horse.
Kui Lang's pupils shrank sharply, and he was about to step back and mount, but he didn't see a ghostly figure behind him at some point.
Kui Lang's eyes were darkened, his consciousness was quickly shrouded in darkness, and he didn't know anything...
A gust of cold wind blew, and there was only the sound of the cold wind sweeping the leaves, desolate and desolate... Until a cup of tea, the sound of horse hooves and human voices came again at the end of the path.
The Marquis of Pingyang finally arrived with the remaining soldiers. Looking at the mess on the ground, Marquis Pingyang's face sank, and he knew something was wrong.
Sure enough, after searching the carriage and the surrounding area, he found that although they found the third princess, Kui Lang was kidnapped by the gangsters.
They came to Southern Border on this trip to send Kui Lang back to Baiyue for restoration. If Kui Lang disappeared, the restoration would naturally not be able to continue...
Now, they have no other choice.
The Marquis of Pingyang gritted his teeth, ordered the whole team, and then continued to set off, rushing to Luoyue City.
Three days later, the Marquis of Pingyang and the third princess traveled day and night and finally arrived at Luoyue City ahead of schedule, all the way to the Zhennan Palace.
As soon as King Zhennan heard that the third princess and the Marquis of Pingyang were coming, he was shocked and suspicious.
Thinking that the consort of the third princess is Baiyue's eldest prince Kui Lang, King Zhennan had a bad premonition, but he couldn't see them, and ordered his servants to invite people to the outer study.
In just a few days, the third princess was quite haggard. As soon as she saw King Zhennan, she couldn't wait to step forward and said excitedly: "My lord, hurry up, send someone to rescue the concubine!"
King Zhennan was at a loss.
The Marquis of Pingyang on the side reassured the third princess, and then briefly recounted the incident that their motorcade encountered a raid on the road three days ago...
"When Ben Marquis found the carriage of His Royal Highness the Third Princess, the third concubine had disappeared, and only His Royal Highness the Third Princess was unconscious in the carriage. Ben Marquis sent people to search the vicinity, and neither the three concubines nor the gangsters knew what they were doing. Trace." The Marquis of Pingyang solemnly clasped his fists at King Zhennan and said, "My lord, the three concubines are missing in the southern border. Please send someone to search as soon as possible, and be sure to rescue the three concubines."
The Marquis of Pingyang obviously hadn't had a good rest for the past few days, his eye sockets were slightly sunken, and there was a deep shadow under his eyes, and he was a little thinner.
Not only did Kui Lang come to the southern border, but he was also kidnapped? ! Listening to the statement of Marquis Pingyang, King Zhennan's complexion changed several times, and his eyes were indescribably complicated.
The king of Zhennan was in a state of turmoil, so he raised his voice and said, "Someone, go and call the prince over here!"
Chang Sui responded and hurriedly withdrew. Kikyo, who was serving in the study, hurriedly served tea to the two distinguished guests.
Xiao Yi was usually in the barracks at this time, and he ran with a quick horse. About an hour and a half later, Xiao Yi came slowly.
The atmosphere in the study became more solemn.
Xiao Yi first clasped his fists and saluted King Zhennan without hesitation, and then his eyes swept across the third princess Pingyang Hou, raised his eyebrows and asked, "His Royal Highness the third princess, Lord Hou, how did you two think of coming with the concubine? Southern Border?"
Xiao Yi's words actually have the taste of knowing and asking. After all, the emperor has long ago ordered the official language to come to the southern border to pass the decree, and ordered the Zhennan king and his son to attack Baiyue to help Kuilang's restoration. How did Kuilang do this, even if he was a fool also know.
Marquis Pingyang's expression froze for a moment, his chin slightly raised and said: "Sir, this prince, His Royal Highness the third princess, and the concubine are naturally ordered by the emperor. After these matters, the most urgent task is to rescue the concubine as soon as possible! "
Speaking of which, Marquis Pingyang's tone had a hint of command.
Xiao Yi hooked his lips into a smile, and laughed with interest, he sat down near the robe, leaned lazily on the back of the chair, and said, "Master Hou, this is the southern border, not the capital, since Master Hou asked someone to do things, yes Shouldn't you be more polite?" He said casually, but there was arrogance in his tone.
King Zhennan glanced at Xiao Yi and thought to himself: Marquis Pingyang is also an angel after all, it would be too offending for this renegade son to talk like this, but it is rare to say a word right, it was clearly Marquis Pingyang and the third princess who asked for it. People, dare to order them to Zhennan Wangfu confidently, it's time to let this villain give them a slap in the face!
"..." The Marquis of Pingyang choked for a moment, unable to speak for a while. In the southern border, King Zhennan and his son are local snakes. Qianglong does not suppress local snakes. If King Zhennan and his son are unwilling to cooperate, it is too easy to perfunctory.
Looking at Marquis Pingyang's aggrieved expression, King Zhennan sneered in his heart, feeling extremely happy, and drank tea without making a sound.
"Master Hou," Xiao Yi said again with a smile, "Since you and His Royal Highness the Third Princess are here by the emperor's order, dare to ask what the imperial decree is?"
The Marquis of Pingyang choked again, and replied in a stiff tone: "The imperial decree is gone. It must have been snatched by those thieves."
Xiao Yi spread his hands and said helplessly: "Master Hou, you said that you came to the Southern Border on an decree, but you don't have an decree in your hands, so I don't know if what you said is true or false..."
There was an obvious sarcasm on the corner of Xiao Yi's mouth, as if to say that since he was in the imperial life, he even lost the imperial edict, which is really unheard of!
Marquis Pingyang's face became more and more ugly, and the corners of his mouth pursed into a straight line.
Xiao Yi turned a blind eye and continued: "Master Hou, this is a baseless statement. According to this prince's opinion, Master Hou should go and find the imperial edict before discussing it."
"You..." The Marquis of Pingyang didn't expect Xiao Yi to treat them like this at all. He pointed at Xiao Yi with trembling fingers, the veins on his forehead jumped, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak.
The Marquis of Pingyang can bear it, but the third princess can't bear it. She had to swallow her anger in the place of the Empress and Empress Dowager all her life. She stood up abruptly, her eyes narrowed, and she pointed at Xiao Yi's nose and cursed, "Presumptuous! Xiao Yi, you If you dare to ignore the emperor, you will not be able to resist the decree?!"
The words of the third princess were a bit harsh, and she said to Dali that if you don't obey the decree, it is a serious crime to be beheaded!
But Xiao Yi still smiled, as if the third princess was an unreasonable child, "His Royal Highness, the third princess, it's all you said! You and the Hou Ye have no imperial edict, just come to the palace to show off your power based on the verbal edict that you don't know if it's true or not. , don't you think that Zhennan Wangfu can be fooled by anyone?!"
Saying that, Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the two of them suspiciously and said, "Since they all say it with one mouth, then this prince can also suspect that His Royal Highness the Third Princess and the Marquis are trying to help Kui Lang escape back to Baiyue without telling the emperor. ?!"
Hearing this, even King Zhennan raised his brows. Although he felt that the Marquis of Pingyang and the third princess were not so courageous, what Xiao Yi said was not without reason.
Meeting the suspicious gaze of King Zhennan, the Marquis of Pingyang was sweating profusely, and hurriedly said: "Master Shizi, this Marquis is loyal to the emperor, the world is outstanding!"
The crime of falsely spreading the imperial decree is too great, and the Marquis of Pingyang can't afford it. The problem is that they really don't have the imperial decree.
The Marquis of Pingyang was so irritated that his temples were jumping. He originally thought that when he arrived at Luoyue City, he could leave the matter of Kui Lang's robbery to King Zhennan and his son, but the situation was completely out of control...
This Xiao Shizi is really difficult to deal with!
The King's Capital is thousands of miles away, even if he sends someone to the King's Capital to ask for an imperial decree, it will take at least a month and a half to come back and forth. He can wait, but Kui Lang can't.
In the outer study, the two sides froze, silent for a while.
Xiao Yi sneered in his heart, picked up the tea cup beside him, and slowly moistened his throat, then said again: "Anyway, if there is anything, please ask the Marquis and His Royal Highness the third princess to find the imperial edict and talk about it."
King Zhennan cleared his throat and said, "His Royal Highness Third Princess, Lord Hou, you are tired from your journey, why don't you go down to rest first..."
Seeing that the father and son of King Zhennan wanted to send them off after singing and making a harmony, the Marquis of Pingyang gritted his teeth and could only force a smile, stood up, and clasped his fists at King Zhennan politely: "Your Highness, let's leave the imperial decree. Ben Hou has been around for a while, and now the whereabouts of the three concubines are unknown. If there is an emergency, neither the Ben Hou nor the prince will be able to explain to the emperor. I also ask the prince to help the prince and send troops to search for the whereabouts of the three princes. ."
After speaking, Marquis Pingyang lowered his head slightly and lowered his posture.
Seeing this, King Zhennan felt very happy. He knew that what the Marquis of Pingyang said was probably true. !
King Zhennan stroked his beard, nodded and said, "Don't worry, Lord, this king will send someone to investigate. When there is news, I will tell the Lord and the princess."
No matter how unwilling the third princess and the Marquis of Pingyang were, now that people were under the eaves, they had to bow their heads, and they all got up and thanked King Zhennan.
The turbulence in the study was suddenly revealed, and the Marquis of Pingyang and the King of Zhennan exchanged seemingly without any grudges.
Xiao Yi was too lazy to socialize with them and didn't stay any longer, so he left by himself.
Instead of talking nonsense with irrelevant people, he might as well go back to accompany his A Yue and Xiao Nan Nan.
Now that he was back, Xiao Yi didn't plan to go to the military camp again, so he walked quickly back to Bixiao Hall. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Nangong Yue leaning against the window and bowing her head to do needlework.
"Ai."
Nangong Yue looked at him with a smile on her face, but Xiao Yi frowned slightly as he walked towards her and said, "Ayue, just leave my clothes to the sewing room."
Nangong Yue was sewing a purple robe, and when he saw the size of the robe, Xiao Yi knew it was for himself. Of course he liked that Nangong Yue sewed clothes for him, but he was even more worried about tiring her.
Xiao Yi looked at Nangong Yue's belly with a look of "awe". It's not even eight months now, and A Yue's belly is already so big. According to the grandfather of the Lin family, A Yue's belly will grow again. Big, and said that pregnant women should not eat too much during this period, but also move around more, so that the fetus will not be too large, and it will not be easy to give birth in the future...
Nangong Yue could guess what Xiao Yi was thinking at a glance, and it wasn't the first time he looked at his stomach with such eyes these days.
She hurriedly diverted his attention and said to Thrush beside her, "Thrush, go get those two little clothes."
Thrush immediately understood and responded, and took out two small purple clothes from the camphor wood box specially prepared for the child, one was a small robe, the other was a small robe, the corners of the two small clothes were Embroidered a few green bamboo leaves, simple but chic.
Xiao Yi looked at the two little purple clothes, and then at the purple robe with the same embroidery in Nangong Yue's hand. The little clothes and his robe were made of the same material, even the piping was the same color.
Xiao Yi smiled, his brows glowed, and his originally beautiful face that was almost gorgeous was incredibly soft.
"Ayue, is this the father-daughter outfit you made for me and Nannan?"
Xiao Yi touched the delicate and lovely little robe, and couldn't help but imagine how cute his daughter would look when he changed into this little dress in the future. At that time, he would also wear this purple robe, so others would see it. I knew that he and Nan Nan were father and daughter.
Thinking about it, Xiao Yi couldn't wait. He ignored the thrush's eyes and kissed Nangong Yue on the corner of his mouth, then said, "Ayue, let this sewing room make more father-daughter clothes for me and Nannan, shall we? it is good?"
From now on, he can wear the same clothes with Nan Nan every day!
Seeing his high spirits, Nangong Yue's eyes twitched, feeling a little weak. This guy Yi can always "crook" things in a weird direction.
Their temperament must not be like Ah Yi!
Nangong Yue didn't know how many times she thought to herself, and she was having a headache on how to bring this topic over, when a sound of picking the curtain suddenly sounded, Bai Hui walked in, and said, "Master Shizi, Miss Kikyo is here, saying that the lord invites you. One more visit."
Xiao Yi's face stinks all of a sudden. He just came back from King Zhennan, and now that his butt is still hot, King Zhennan came to call someone again.
As his father, he really wanted to come out once and for all.
Xiao Yi responded lazily, then said to Nangong Yue: "Ayue, I have a good idea, I'll engrave another set of child-mother rings for me and Nannan to match these two clothes...Ayue, wait a minute. Wait for me, I will come back and discuss with you what pattern to engrave?"
While speaking, he finally stood up slowly and pulled the curtain out of the room.
When Xiao Yi came to the outer study of the palace again, Zhennan Wang was walking back and forth in the study irritably, and his eyes locked on Xiao Yi who entered the room.
"Nizi," King Zhennan asked eagerly, "Just now, the Marquis of Pingyang told this king that Baiyue has been captured, and Kui Lang is going to Baiyue to preside over the overall situation... What is going on here?"
After Xiao Yi left, the King of Zhennan and the Marquis of Pingyang had another chat, and the Marquis of Pingyang dictated the will of the emperor to the King of Zhennan before departure. If so, he could only vaguely respond a few times.
After finally sending the Marquis of Pingyang and the third princess away, the more King Zhennan thought about it, the more wrong, so he called Xiao Yi.
How could the emperor think that Baiyue had been captured by the Southern Border Army?
King Zhennan squinted at Xiao Yi, gritted his back molars and said, "Nizi, are you hiding something from this king?"
With this rebellious and daring temperament, apart from killing his father to rebel, there is probably nothing he dares to do!
Thinking about it, King Zhennan's eyelids twitched.
"Father, you are looking for me for this?" Xiao Yi shrugged and said casually, "Father, don't worry about this."
"You..." King Zhennan glared at Xiao Yi fiercely. Although Xiao Yi didn't say anything, King Zhennan could already be sure that this rebel must have done something behind his back!
With such a daring and reckless act, sooner or later, he will bring disaster to the palace!
"So far, you are still pretending to be stupid with this king?" King Zhennan slapped the case heavily, "Even if this king helps you hide from the Marquis of Pingyang, don't forget that there is Marquis Anyi! Now Marquis of Pingyang has gone to see you in Qingyunwu. The Marquis of Anyi is over, and by then, the situation in Nanjiang and Baiyue will not be able to be concealed from Marquis Pingyang!"
King Zhennan was in a hurry and really wanted to slap this idiot in the face, but his reason told him that he might not be able to get him well... Since this idiot has been in the capital for a few years, he has completely escaped his control...
The Marquis of Pingyang is a second-rank military marquis and the emperor's cousin. I am afraid he is not so easy to deal with. This time the trouble is big!
King Zhennan looked anxiously towards the northeast window, which was the direction of Qingyunwu.
At this time, the Marquis of Pingyang has been welcomed into the study by Xiao Si. Guan Yubai is sitting on a mahogany chair by the window, holding a roll of chess manuals in one hand, and twisting a white stone in the other and placing it on the chessboard. .
Marquis Pingyang smiled, clasped his fists politely and said, "Marquis Anyi is really elegant." Between the words, he strode towards Guan Yubai.
"It's just a chess set." Guan Yu said with a smile, put the chess manual on the side of the chessboard, and then stood up.
After the two greeted each other, they sat down across the chessboard.
The Marquis of Pingyang looked around and praised: "There are bridges, water and bamboo, this Qingyunwu is elegant, but the severe winter is warm like spring, which is just right for the Marquis of Anyi to recuperate." A great taste.
Guan Yubai naturally heard the thorn in the other party's words, and said warmly: "Thank you for your concern."
The Marquis of Pingyang glanced at Guan Yubai again, and seeing that the other party was neither frightened nor impatient, and no longer going around in circles, he sternly talked about his intentions: "This Marquis is here to help Kui Lang take over Baiyue on the emperor's will."
He hooked his lips mockingly, and said in a commanding tone: "The emperor has spoken, Marquis Anyi has come to the southern border last year, and he has made little achievements, and the emperor's heart is not happy. Everything the Hou has done must be reported to this Hou!"
His words were sonorous and powerful.
