Zhou Cong shivered and stammered, "please rest assured, princess. The villain will do his best to ensure the safety of the princess in Bianyang County!"
"You'd better be able to do it!" Xiao Xiang sneered, then stood up slowly, walked out and said, "have you arranged a residence for the palace?"
"Yes, yes, yes! It's in the backyard!" Zhou Cong hurried to catch up with Xiao Xiang and said: "the villain has made the most detailed arrangement in the backyard. Even if the flies do not want to fly in, disturb the princess's highness."
Xiao Xiang's face softened when she heard the speech. She was not talking. Surrounded by the guards and Zhou Cong, she walked out of the lobby and went straight to the backyard of the county capital.
The distance between the front yard and the backyard of the county capital is not short. For Tang Yin, who is hiding in the dark, this is another difficult and dangerous journey.
Because the princess wanted to stay in the backyard, Zhou Cong arranged a heavy guard here. There were many open posts and secret sentries, so he almost didn't send someone directly to surround the whole backyard. Under such circumstances, it is conceivable that it is difficult for Tang Yin to get in without being noticed.
When he approached the backyard, there were soldiers standing guard outside the courtyard wall, and there was no gap to drill. Tang Yin observed in the dark for a long time and found no way to sneak in. He sighed. When he was feeling discouraged, he suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps behind him.
He looked back. It turned out that two servant girls from the county capital were coming towards the backyard.
Tang Yin's heart moved, her eyes turned, and then she touched two small stones from the ground. When the two little servant girls were more than 20 steps away from the backyard, he suddenly popped a small stone between his fingers.
The stone was just right and hit a servant girl's ankle. The servant girl couldn't stand and fell to the ground. Another servant girl was coming forward to help. Tang Yin ejected another stone and was hitting the other servant girl's knee.
"Ah -" the other servant girl also uttered a cry and fell to the ground involuntarily. The two of them fell down one after another and rolled into a ball, which immediately attracted the attention of the soldiers standing guard in the backyard.
Because the night was too dark and the distance was too far, the Sichuan soldiers on guard couldn't see what had happened. The leader waved to his left and right subordinates and ran with more than ten Sichuan soldiers.
"Who?" The captain asked first.
"My Lord, it's... it's a maid..." when they saw the soldiers rushing over, the two little maids quickly got up from the ground and stood trembling on the roadside.
Seeing clearly that the visitor was originally a servant girl in the house, the soldiers hissed one after another. The captain frowned and scolded in a low voice, "what's the ghost's name in the middle of the night?"
A little servant girl said timidly, "report back to your excellency, maid... When the maid came here, she tripped over something and fell down..."
The captain and Sichuan soldiers subconsciously looked down and saw that the ground was flat, without pits, bulges or abnormalities. The captain rolled his eyes and said impatiently, "be careful when you walk in the future. If you disturb the princess, we can't afford to go!"
"Yes! Maidservant, remember..." seeing that they were both wronged and scared, they were about to cry. The captain waved to the second daughter and said, "let's go!" With that, he shook his head to the left and right soldiers and returned to their respective posts under the courtyard wall.
In the blink of an eye when they left, Tang Yin had successfully climbed over the courtyard wall and jumped into the courtyard. It's easy to find Xiao Xiang's residence in the backyard. Just check and take a room with the brightest lights and the most guards outside.
There are dozens of guards outside Xiao Xiang's residence, and most of them are spiritual practitioners. Tang Yin is difficult to approach. He repeats his old tricks, runs to the roof again, carefully removes the tiles and squints to the inside of the room.
At this time, the room was foggy. Even with Tang Yin's eyesight, he looked at it for a while before he could see the situation in the room clearly.
A large wooden basin was placed in the inner room of the house, filled with hot water. Xiao Xiangzheng * sat naked in it to take a bath. The skin exposed outside the water looked pink, tender and red, especially charming. There were two servant girls waiting beside him.
Although Tang Yin is not a gentleman, he doesn't have the habit of peeking at women's baths. He slowly closes the removed tiles, then lies aside and closes his eyes. After waiting for about two cups of tea, Xiao Xiang finally washed it and walked out of the bathtub with the help of the servant girl.
Seeing the servant girls carrying out the bathtub, Tang Yin moved the tiles again and looked inside the room. The fog in the room gradually dispersed, and Tang Yin saw it more clearly. At this time, Xiao Xiang was sitting in front of the dressing table and was being groomed by a close servant girl.
However, her body is still wispy and covered with tiny drops of water. Tang Yin looked at it and shook her head. Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door outside the room. Soon, a servant girl came to Xiao Xiang and whispered, "princess, Mr. Xing is here."
"Yes!" Xiao Xiang answered slowly, then stood up slowly, opened her arms, and immediately a servant girl put a white silk robe on her. Casually tied the belt on the silk robe, and then she said, "let him in!"
"Yes, your highness!" The servant girl who came to report turned and went out of the inner room. It was not long before Xing Yuan came in from the outside. Seeing reverent and respectful, he was kneeling down before the dressing table. He kneels down to his knees. "I see your royal highness," he said.
Xiao Xiang waved her hand slightly. The surrounding servant girls understood and automatically withdrew from the room. After going out, she closed the door carefully.
"Why do you want to comb your hair in front of Mr. Xing Xiuzi?" they asked, looking at the mirror quickly "Right there - Writing - pen - Chinese - Web (- z-b-z -- com)"
Xing Yuan's face darkened obviously when he heard the speech. He has served Xiao Xiang for more than 20 years. It can be said that he watched Xiao Xiang grow up and knew Xiao Xiang like the back of his hand. He knew who Xiao Xiang was talking about, but he was speechless.
The infighting in the court has always been the cruelest and darkest, and he is not an outsider who can interrupt at will.
He knelt on the ground without getting up, and his head fell slowly.
"My father has so many children, why do they look down on this palace?" Xiao Xiangmeng, who was combing his hair, threw the comb in his hand on the bronze mirror in front of him and made a crisp sound.
Xing Yuan was shocked and whispered, "the king dotes on the princess most, and... China has never had a long tradition, so... So..."
"Therefore, the brothers and sisters of the palace, even the brothers and sisters, regard the palace as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh. They are not happy!"
The desolate color on Xiao Xiang's face was swept away and replaced by cold and ferocious. She clenched her fist and said with gnashing teeth: "this matter, our palace will not give up. This time, our palace will not tolerate it any more!"
"The princess means..."
Xiao Xiang, barefooted, walked up to Xing Yuan, stood still and asked coldly, "who does Mr. Xing think is the most likely?"
Looking at the pair of small pink feet standing in front of him, Xing Yuan's head hung lower, and sweat also exuded from his forehead.
Who is the most likely? Did he dare to speculate! He was silent for a long time, and Fang trembled and said, "subordinates... Subordinates don't know..."
"You don't know, but dare not say!" Xiao Xiang bent down and pulled Xing Yuan up. Then she turned and walked to the bed, sat down and took a deep breath, Leng Sheng said, "if my guess is right, the assassin should be sent by my eldest brother. It's not a day or two for my eldest brother to get rid of my palace. This time, my eldest brother advocates fighting against the wind speed, and my palace suggests delaying the war to my father. Presumably, my eldest brother is more dissatisfied with my palace." As she spoke, she lay on the bed, with a pair of beautiful eyes flashing with fire.
Xing Yuan came forward, gently holding Xiao Xiang's jade back and whispered, "the eldest childe is deeply supported by the new rich, and his influence in the local area is also deep-rooted, especially his friendship with the blood clothes Hou. After the princess returns to the capital, if she turns her face openly with the eldest childe, I'm afraid it will be disadvantageous to the princess."
Xiao Xiang narrowed her eyes slowly and sighed comfortably. Under the massage of Xing Yuan, the anger in her heart dissipated gradually. She murmured, "it is said that the blood coat Hou has sent his Hong family army to Bian Yang county."
"Yes, my subordinates have also heard." Xing Yuan nodded.
"He's going to fight! The blood clad Marquis has always wanted to expand his Hong family army to 100000, but his father has never promised. As long as the Sichuan wind war is together, the loss of the central army will inevitably increase. At that time, his father will have to rely on their family Army, and the Hong family army can take the opportunity to expand the army in good faith." Xiao Xiang said slowly.
"Yes, Princess Yingming!" Xing Yuan shook his head and sighed, "my subordinates often think that compared with foreign enemies, those unscrupulous people in China are actually more hateful and vicious!"
"Yes!" Xiao Xiang smiled bitterly and said, "foreign enemies can only hurt my fur, but internal diseases can destroy my muscles and bones!"
"Princess, you can't help but guard against the bloody Hou * war!" Xing Yuan said: "now the Hong family army only transfers two regiments to Bianyang county. If the imperial court doesn't pay attention to it, my subordinates think, I'm afraid it won't be long before the whole Hong family army will enter Bianyang county. If they take the initiative to provoke a war against the wind country at that time, the central army will also be forced to participate in the war. At that time, the war between the two countries can't be stopped."
Xiao Xiang giggled and said, "if Hong Jiajun really dared to take the initiative to provoke, it would be a good opportunity to use the hand of Feng Jun to annihilate him in one fell swoop, which is equivalent to helping his father get rid of a heart disease. However, Xueyi Hou is not so stupid. He will not take risks with his painstaking Hong Jiajun unless he has to."
Xing Yuan nodded thoughtfully and said, "what the princess said is very true!"
Xiao Xiang waved her hand and indicated that Xing Yuan didn't have to press it anymore. She said, "you should pay more attention to spiritual practitioners for the palace, especially those powerful Lingwu experts. If you can draw close to the palace, try to draw close, even if it costs more money."
Xing Yuan was surprised and asked in a low voice, "the princess wants..."
