Looking out of the window at a remnant leaf hanging by the wind, Luo qingluan held his hand tightly.
Sure enough, Bai Yixuan and Han Xun let out the wind. Not only that, they also deliberately knew the people who spread the rumors. Now ordinary people in the whole capital think that Nalan night, king of Chu, came back to take her away and revolt.
She had heard Yuan Xing bring back a lot of news against Nalan night. Those ignorant people had forgotten Nalan night's achievements five years ago. They scolded him for being cold-blooded and ruthless, betraying the Western Chu, and calling her a beauty, a disaster to the country and the people.
These ignorant and foolish people, how can they know that these are all rumors released by the enemy, that is, they deliberately slander Nalan night and want to eradicate him completely? Luo qingluan was secretly anxious, but there was nothing to do. Although things had been expected by her, she was still very sad when all this came true.
The more things ferment, the more Luo qingluan hates Bai Yixuan and Han Xun. How could this have happened if it had not been for their selfishness?
The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop.
Fortunately, Luo qingluan is a little relieved. She has made an agreement with Xiao Yuqi. At that time, the mantis catches the cicada and the Yellow finch is behind. I don't know who will laugh last.
"Princess." At this time, Yuan Xing came in.
"What's going on outside?" Luo qingluan asked.
"According to the informant, the fake prince will appear at midnight tonight and go to Prince Chu's house to take the rest of his servants. Needless to say, this naturally implies that the princess hiding outside sneaks back to Prince Chu's house, otherwise how can you see the prince you miss so much?"
Yuan Xing said with great enthusiasm. Hei hei said: "according to their conjecture, princess, you look forward to the prince so much. Once you receive the news, the prince will appear tonight. Even if the prince's residence of Chu is a dragon's pool and tiger's den, you will break through, and you will be in their plan at that time."
Luo qingluan smiled faintly: "but we don't know. We have long guessed that it was Bai Yixuan's trick. Naturally, we won't be fooled."
Fortunately, she was more or less sorry. If Nalan night was also there, it would be fun. I don't know if the fake pretending to be Nalan night tonight looks like it? Would she like to go with me?
"By the way, is the candidate ready?" Thinking of this, Luo qingluan asked the most critical point: they should also choose a substitute to ask for information instead of her. It's really a plan. We must not reveal the truth.
The candidate for the double has long been determined. When Yuan Xing went back to the dark night hall to talk about it, many people volunteered to participate, and even felt honored to replace Luo qingluan. Even Xu Lian can't wait to make atonement for what happened with Luo qingluan.
"Princess, I've already chosen it." Soon, Yuan Xing brought people in. Luo qingluan looked familiar. Isn't this Xu Lian, the daughter of Xu chongqian, the deputy hall leader of the night wolf group?
I vaguely remember that when she and Nalan night went to the dark night hall, many people, including Xu Lian, did not agree that Nalan night handed over the jade card representing her identity to her for safekeeping, and even caused a minor dispute. If she hadn't handled it well, she would soon convince everyone. I'm afraid Nalan night would have a headache.
After looking at Xu Lian's awkward appearance, it's hard to say anything. Yuan Xinglian hurriedly said, "princess, my subordinates also see that Xu Lian is similar to you, and her lightness skills are good and meet the conditions of the task, so my subordinates..."
"I didn't say it was inappropriate. What do you panic about?" Luo qingluan smiled and couldn't guess their thoughts?
She is not a stingy and narrow-minded person. At the beginning, those brothers were worried about the secret disclosure of the dark night hall and Nalan night. Since everyone had a common mind, she naturally wouldn't care.
Looking at the plainly dressed woman in front of her, her face was not like her at all, and her face was still cautious. Luo qingluan smiled and said, "Xu Lian, it's hard for you. Tonight, I want you to pretend to be me to go to the king's residence of Chu. You must be careful and safe."
Feeling Luo qingluan's sincere concern, Xu Lian was enthusiastic: "don't worry, princess, I will live up to your hope."
"Your own safety is the most important, okay?" Luo qingluan frowned. That's what she was most afraid of. If Xu Lian was desperate to die because she wanted to repay her kindness, it would be bad.
She said positively, "since we all know that the prince appeared tonight is false, we don't have to care too much about the results, okay? First worry about ourselves, spy on intelligence on the premise of safety, and withdraw immediately when we see something wrong, okay?"
Seeing that Xu Lian finally nodded and agreed, Luo qingluan began to help her check the hidden dangers.
All those who practice martial arts, no matter men or women, will have some problems. With acupuncture and a dose of decoction, Xu Lian's hidden disease has been reduced by 70%. There is absolutely no problem in dealing with tonight's action.
It was still early. It was noon. Luo qingluan waited patiently.
……
The atmosphere of the whole capital was dignified. The sun just set. There were almost no people in the streets. Businesses closed their doors early and suspended their business. At ordinary times, vendors and vegetable farmers can be seen in the streets and alleys are even missing. Even carefree children have long been brought home by their parents.
In a house where a family could barely see the gate of the king's house of Chu, a woman was peering on the attic, curious but worried about what to see. Then a fat middle-aged man came behind and slapped her on the head: "what are you looking at, dead woman? Do you want the whole family to lose their lives with you?"
With that, he quickly closed the window and didn't even dare to peek.
There are not many such scenes. The merchants and nobles who used to live by the king's residence of Chu never wanted to help themselves when they saw that the wind direction had changed.
Even some officials in the central court repeatedly warned the women at home that they should never have contact with Luo qingluan. In this troubled autumn, it's best not to go out even at the door. The provincial emperor was accidentally mistaken by the emperor of Western Chu for collusion with Luo qingluan, causing a crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.
However, in just half a month, the Chu palace, once looked up to in the eyes of the people and courtiers of Western Chu, has become a forbidden area, and no one dares to appear nearby.
One of the most unlucky is a restaurant on the same street.
Because he was once close to the king's residence of Chu, there was only a stone's throw. The boss had been complacent before, with a posture of leaning against a big tree to enjoy the cool. All the people did support it. Anyone who entertained guests or had wine was always willing to come to this restaurant. They just wanted to meet Nalan night, the king of Chu. Even if they couldn't make friends, it would be good to see each other.
Now, the boss has been complaining. Because the Western Chu emperor monitored the king's house of Chu and was surrounded by forbidden troops, the restaurant closest to the king's house of Chu was also on guard step by step.
Except for those guards who occasionally leave their posts and come to him for dinner, but never pay the bill, there are no other guests at all. But this restaurant is the boss's only business. Even if he is tough, he will drive on.
Secretly, the boss didn't know how many times he cursed Nalan night and Luo qingluan.
Fortunately, there are several businesses in the restaurant today. It seems that I can't guess who it is. There are two people sitting at a table near the street, with four bodyguards standing next to me. I can see at a glance. In the elegant room where there were no guests for a long time, there was also a seat. There were four or five men, young and middle-aged. Although they looked very ordinary, the boss could also notice from looking at people for many years. These people definitely had a lot of background.
"God bless, God bless, but don't have an accident." When the delivery was finished, the boss muttered a few words in his heart, and his heart was haunted.
In the elegant room, Bai Yixuan, who has changed his men's clothes, casually held the tea cup in his hand and looked at Han Xun across the street: "how, do you guess if Luo qingluan will be fooled tonight?"
A fierce look flashed in his eyes. Hanson slowly raised his head and stared at Bai Yixuan's face: "if she doesn't come, you have to be careful of yourself."
After so much effort, countless money, human and material resources, and so many adverse negative effects, he even lost the reputation of his favorite woman, and finally failed? Ha ha, Hansen is cold. If so, he will never let Bai Yixuan go.
"Hanson, are you going to kill me?" Bai Yixuan looked at him coldly: "what a heartless man. Even if the plan fails, who wants you to do it? But it's just a small loss. You should kill me because of this?"
"Did I say I wanted to kill you?" Naturally, Han Xun would admit it and said coldly, "I just warned you not to play tricks. What did you say when you went to see Xiao Ningyu a while ago? Do you still want to use Xiao Yuqi?"
Surprised, Bai Yixuan looked at him: "do you know Xiao Yuqi is coming?"
"Hehe, I knew it not long after he came. Do you think I'm here to play?" Hanson sneered.
In the Western Chu Dynasty, we should naturally pay attention to all intelligence. An identity like Xiao Yuqi had to make him pay attention to and nervous. If he is involved, I'm afraid it will be more serious. Fortunately, he has been sending people to observe secretly. It seems that Xiao Yuqi came because of Xiao Ningyu. After Bai Yixuan went to see Xiao Ningyu, he left her directly in his own place.
It's just
Hanson regretted the information his men brought back that day.
He didn't expect that Luo qingluan also went to see Xiao Yuqi that day, but it was a pity that he knew too late at that time, otherwise... He was afraid that Luo qingluan would be taken away immediately. Where would there be any trouble now?
Han Xun also guessed whether the reason why Luo qingluan went to see Xiao Yuqi was related to Nalan night. Just because Xiao Yuqi hasn't moved, and even doesn't go out anymore, he can't analyze what Luo qingluan talked to Xiao Yuqi.
I just hope she asked for something and was rejected by Xiao Yuqi, right?
After all, now she doesn't have Nalan night's support, that is, she is a smart woman. Others won't know her precious and good as he does. Are a bunch of fools without eyes!
Hanson sneered and drank the wine out of the cup. His heart became more and more eager.
It's coming soon. I hope Luo qingluan will come as promised tonight. He had let out the wind and drove her to the edge of the cliff. If she stayed in the Western Chu, she would be besieged on all sides. Everyone shouted and beat, even if she couldn't find a place to hide.
Except him
Luo qingluan had to follow him back to North Vietnam, which was her best way out. Forget Nalan night. He will treat her well, and then work with the southern Wei to directly destroy the Western Chu and kill Nalan night, completely breaking her hope.
Over time, she will forget Nalan night. As long as he is kind to her and patient, she will eventually fall in love with him one day.
It seemed as if there was a flame beating in his eyes, and Hanson was hot all over.
We must succeed tonight. Everything is ready. His men and horses are waiting in the north of the city. As long as it is done, he will take her back to North Vietnam immediately, no matter what happens in the West Chu.
He is here waiting for Luo qingluan and waiting for her to appear.
