Chapter 610

When he spoke twice, he asked her if she had something to do. Princess Yan felt bitter.

He always treated her like this, he never treated her badly, he respected everything, he was so impeccable, but he was so alienated.

But she... Has nothing to complain about.

All this should have been so.

As usual, she would not dare to stay any longer for fear of disturbing him and bothering him——

But this time, she was really upset

"Lord... Have you really considered it clearly?" even though she was not sharp, she did not try to beat around the bush. She knew that he needed to deal with a lot of things, so she couldn't help wasting his time slowly.

She was used to being extremely careful and thoughtful in front of him.

"You all know." King Yan looked at her and was not surprised. The commander of King Yan's house was so big that it was normal for the news to reach her ears.

And he didn't intend to hide it from her.

"I'm going to ask someone to tell you and sang'er that I will leave Mizhou tomorrow. You and sang'er just stay in the palace. I'll leave enough people to ensure your safety."

Tomorrow?

Princess Yan couldn't respond to this. She asked subconsciously, "Lord... Where are you going?"

While sorting out the documents at hand, King Yan said, "you don't have to ask about things in the army."

Princess Yan grasped her handkerchief.

Yes, the marching event is confidential. She shouldn't ask more

But

"The prince must be in great danger when he goes here. I'm worried..."

Seeing that she was about to stop talking, the king of Yan said, "don't worry. If I fail, I will secretly try to send you and sang'er away from Mizhou. Then you two just need to hide your identity and live a peaceful and plain life you should have. I have asked Hefeng to arrange everything in advance. Your mother and daughter don't have to take the risk with me."

Both emotion and reason should be so. He has no reason to let Heidegger's mother and daughter bear the possible consequences of what he does.

Princess Yan's eyelashes trembled: "that's not what I mean..."

She's just worried about him

But how is she going to open it?

Mammy always said that she had a chance. Only she had a heart and would one day warm the heart of the Lord

But she herself knew that she had no chance at all.

She raised her eyes slightly and looked into the study room separated by the screen.

In addition to the little boy and Hefeng who served closely, the prince's study easily refused to allow others to set foot in it.

But even so, she knew that in the inner room of this study, there had always been a portrait of a woman

About three or four years ago, sang'er once sneaked in, saw the portrait and knew that her father had another person in his heart, so he cried and made a scene, and said many words, such as "no wonder my father is so separated from my mother, and we are not close to my mother and daughter", "I remember the woman next to me, what's good about a dead man", In the end, it became so fierce that it even took off the portrait and tore it up——

That was... That was the first time she saw the Lord lose his temper with sang'er's calm face.

The Lord stood by the screen and uttered a very short but heavy sentence to sang'er, who was holding the portrait - "put things down and get out."

Sonny was so frightened that she went out without even crying.

When she recovered, she threw herself into her arms and cried for a long time.

Thinking of the past, she flashed the person in the picture who had only seen it once but seemed to have been deeply etched in her mind. Heidegger only felt that his eyes were astringent and painful.

She has no chance

Fortunately, no one will have this opportunity.

She pressed down many complicated thoughts and whispered, "since the king's mind has been determined, I hope everything goes smoothly..."

King Yan nodded, "you are not well. Go back and have a rest earlier."

"Yes." Princess Yan blessed her body: "Lord Tang, remember to drink. I'll leave."

She slowly retreated out. The rain outside the study stopped for the first time. Raising her eyes, she could see that there was still accumulated rain dripping along the eaves and corners of the corridor. The door of the study behind her was closed by the servant. A gust of wind started, and a cold air came to her.

The chill even made her burst into tears.

"Princess..."

The mammy waiting by the stone steps came up and held her arm.

"Go back," Princess Yan said in a dumb voice.

Mammy looked at the brightly lit study and didn't dare to ask more questions. She first helped her Princess back to her bedroom.

Two quarters of an hour later, King Yan handed the two letters to Hefeng.

"Hurry up and send them to Ningyang and Linyuan respectively."

"Yes." after he Feng answered, he hesitated and asked, "Lord... Do you really want to personally lead the troops to leave the north?"

In this way, the king will always bear the curse of treason.

"Nature." King Yan did not hesitate.

The move of Xu and Wu families to betray and escape from Beijing caught the imperial court unprepared. It really made the imperial court lose control for a while——

But it's only for a while.

Daqing was only established in its early 20 years, and it is a world won by war. Although the national strength is weakened due to the emperor's failure to govern the country, there are many systems worth criticizing, but it is difficult to change the fact that the imperial court is not short of soldiers and horses.

Once the imperial court is given enough time to come up with real and available countermeasures, it will be a long-lasting war.

Maybe it will be too long for the imperial court and they can't afford it.

At present, the Xu family occupies Linyuan. Even though the Wu family can support the temporary situation with the advantage of big trees and deep roots, it is difficult to break through the siege of the imperial court if it is delayed.

Therefore, he must not hide in Mizhou and wait to enjoy his success. He will only wait for the bloody achievements of the Xu and Wu families to be presented to him, and then make a gesture of "I have to sit in this position for the sake of stability in the world".

Selfishness is reversed, so it's not bad for this last real move.

No one is blind.

He could not do anything to give the danger to his father-in-law and the general to bear for him for the sake of a false name.

On the contrary, he is the one who should be at the front.

Hefeng didn't ask any more questions and withdrew with a letter.

After washing himself, the king of Yan lay down on the low couch in the inner room.

Lying like this, you can just see the portrait.

The people in the painting were smiling, and the Yan King couldn't help laughing in his eyes.

"Really..." he put his arms behind his head and sighed: "I miss our son, and I don't know if this smelly boy wants to miss his father."

There are also some nagging passages: "what do you say he is doing now? I don't know what the specific situation of Ningyang city is now. There must be layers of obstacles along the way from Mizhou. I don't know when I can see the boy..."

"You have to look at him. This boy is very much like me. He doesn't look like a very safe master. He has many ideas."

After thinking about it, he nodded and said, "but fortunately, he is more like you..."

"By the way, I forgot to tell you last time that the boy's marriage is roughly settled. It's the little girl of the Xu family and the granddaughter of the general. He picked it himself. Oh, no, no... it's the girl who picked him." he smiled and said, "this little girl has more ideas than him. If you're still there, you'll like it..."

At this point, the voice is slightly dumb, and the smiling eyes are gradually red.

He looked at the picture and saw that she seemed to be laughing at himself. He wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his fingers and giggled.

……

Thousands of miles away, under the dark night, a line of cars and horses stopped slowly.

After driving for most of the day, people and horses were tired.

This place is close to a dense forest, and the terrain is still hidden. After asking for instructions in a low voice by a carriage, Sui Jiang turned over and dismounted, ordered everyone to make a fire and feed the horses to rest.

After the old Jiang personally sent the food to the two carriages, he sat in front of the fire and drank water.

"There are at most two days to go..." an attendant said while baking a piece of Nang cake.

They did not follow the official path, nor was it an easy shortcut to guess. Instead, they bypassed two cities in order to ensure the safety of the city, thus adding three or four days to the journey.

But all the way, except for some bandits in the way, I was really safe and did not meet anyone from the imperial court.

Sui Jiang nodded.

Two more days

If someone wants to do it, they will mostly choose night.

And if you wait another day, it will be too close to Ningyang

So he bet it won't be calm tonight.

Indeed, he is not as smart as the old mountain's head, but he still has the keen intuition and judgment accumulated by the dark guard's background.

That's why he chose to rest here, secluded and uninhabited, and then out of the dense forest, there was a great place to flee.

Sui Jiang took out the long sword behind him and wiped the fire with a piece of cotton cloth.

The night sky overhead was dark, and there was no half a star. A round of Mao moon hung hazily in the middle of the sky, as if a pearl covered with dust had been obscured.

The night wind swept through the treetops of the dense forest, making a rustle, and the autumn leaves on the ground became thicker.

The wind stopped, but the sound didn't go away.

In addition to Sui Jiang, the six attendants of the party immediately showed their vigilance and pressed the long knife to the waist.

After half a person high green and yellow grass behind him, a fast approaching dark shadow suddenly appeared.

"Protect the masters!"

Sui Jiang suddenly got up, and the long sword in his hand twinkled in the light of the fire.

There is more than one shadow.

More and more shadows are approaching. Sui Jiang glanced at them during the struggle. He saw that there were more than 50 or 60 dark shadows half melted into the night!

And everyone has extraordinary skills and ruthless hands!

It's clear that you want to succeed in one blow, and you don't have any patience for a long time.

Those people did not have any verbal communication, but had their own order and clear goals - they wanted the lives of the people in the two carriages!

The disparity in the number of people between the two sides is so great that hard resistance will not last long.

Realizing this, Sui Jiang did not delay for a moment. When the long sword in his hand penetrated one's chest, he shouted, "go! The guardians leave!"

"Yes!"

Several attendants should jump down together, jump on the yuan seat immediately, grab the reins and drive the horse.

"Stop them!" a man in black gave orders and said the first sentence behind him.

A group of people in black flew forward and attacked like locusts covering the sun. They almost surrounded the carriage.

"Drive!"

The horses were driven out of their instinct to escape danger, and the two carriages rushed out of the crowd one after another.

One of the men in black cut his long knife at the window, and half of the blade disappeared into the car.

Under the shaking of the wind lamp, the figure in the carriage was faintly visible, slightly flustered.

"Shoot an arrow!"

"Chase!"

A cold arrow pierced the oncoming night wind and made a "wheezing" sound.

As Jiang Fang saw, the group was in clear order. At this time, dozens of people rushed forward with bows and disappeared into the dense forest with carriages. More than a dozen people left here quickly to pick up horses not far away.

As for the several people who were dragged in place by year-old Jiang and another close follower in front of them, there were no tricks in the way of cutting, and the knives came straight at taking people's lives.

"Are you from the imperial court?!" old Jiang has killed his red eyes. When he was forced to retreat step by step, he gritted his teeth and asked, "this road... How did you catch up!"

The masked man snorted with disdain, "what's the use of asking when death is coming!"

Old Jiang's eyes are dim.

The fighting was noisy just now. He couldn't distinguish each other's accent, but now he could hear it clearly——

It is indeed the capital Mandarin, but the accent is not very clean

"Let's go!" the wounded old Jiang stopped dragging the war and turned to his companion on his side.

With the cooperation of the two, Sui Jiang quickly fled here under the cover of the night, relying on his previous observation and understanding of the surrounding terrain and environment.

"They are injured and can't escape far. Catch up and don't keep alive -"

"Yes!"

Two of them in black were ordered to catch up.

Among the other two, the man who just opened his mouth was obviously the leader of the operation. He took a look at the direction where the two old Jiang disappeared and did not stay here for a long time.

A subordinate brought a horse, he jumped on the horse's back, and the party immediately chased after the forest from which the carriage had just escaped.

However, to their surprise, outside the dense forest, only hundreds of steps forward, there was a cliff.

"... the path down the mountain is on the right side. Their horses are in a hurry. They have time to see the way ahead. The horses have gone crazy. They can't control it at all. They just fall down like this." the man in black who followed and witnessed the scene first said: "some of our people follow closely, and one of them accidentally falls off the cliff."

The leader came to the edge of the cliff and looked down at his feet with the torch lit by his subordinates.

The night is deep and thick, and there are high and low vegetation on the edge of the cliff. It really puzzles people's sight in the night.

Looking down again, it was dark under the cliff. I couldn't see to the end. I could see that there were strange stones, plants and trees overlapping. The dark shadows of branches and tendrils swayed with the mountain wind passing through, such as teeth and claws, in a strange shape.

"This mountain is called Longqi Mountain, and from this terrain, this cliff is less than 100 feet high. If you fall down with cars and horses, you will die." a subordinate said beside him.

Another man looked down, but hesitated and said, "but the Lord of the Wu family, his sons and grandchildren, really died in our hands so easily?"

In the script, these big people fall off the cliff, usually they can't die, and maybe there will be any adventures.

The leader sneered and said, "what about the master of the Wu family? There are fewer people around him all the way to hide people's ears and eyes, but it's just a physical fetus. If you fall down like this, I'm afraid it has become a pool of meat mud."

But there is one——

"You have to see the corpse, or you can't make a job."
