At this time, Leng Yi led five hundred guards from the Criminal Trial Court towards the mountain from different directions and locations. .
"My lord, the second lady came to report that the emperor and the princess were not found in the courtyard. They have also dispersed to look for them. They said that there is probably a secret passage in the courtyard. I hope that you will be careful about the traps and traps they set along the way."
Leng Yi stood at a relatively prominent position and stopped to look around and at the situation on the mountain and down the mountain. This was the guard who had gone up the mountain first and came down to report.
Leng Yi nodded, and Wang Zhixuan on the side said: "Sir, I think the emperor will be fine. The queen also admitted before that she actually just wanted to deal with the princess. She did not expect that when Yue Lengqing dealt with the princess, the emperor was also there. By her side, just now So my subordinates thought that maybe Yue Lengqing didn't let the princess and the emperor be together."
"Zhixuan, what you are thinking is exactly what I am thinking and what I am worried about." Leng Yi had a stern expression and his eyebrows were knitted together, looking very solemn.
Wang Zhixuan was about to speak when a guard led a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old over. The boy looked frightened and timidly let the guards push him to Leng Yi's side.
Leng Yi looked at the boy's outfit and asked, "Is this Yue Lengqing's disciple?"
The guard held up his hands and said, "My subordinate caught this when I was patrolling the mountain just now. She said that she was Yue Lengqing's drug test boy, who specially tested medicine for Yue Lengqing. She said that she had met the emperor and the princess, my subordinate. So he brought her here.¡±
Wang Zhixuan took a step forward, and the boy couldn't help but take a step back and glanced at Wang Zhixuan with fear.
Wang Zhixuan looked at the boy coldly and said, "Tell me, where is your master?"
The boy hesitated and whispered, "Master has gone up the mountain."
Leng Yi said: "You said you have seen the emperor and the princess. Are they with your master now?"
The boy thought for a while, and Wang Zhixuan grabbed the boy's collar. The boy couldn't help but let out a small cry. Wang Zhixuan sneered and looked at the boy's eyes. Seeing the boy's eyes twinkling and not daring to look directly into his own eyes, he said: " Sir, we can¡¯t believe this person¡¯s words. She must have been sent by Yue Leng Qingping to confuse our sight. Come here, pull her down and kill her, and then hang her head at their mountain gate. It will remain hanging. No one is allowed. Take it off and let the mosquitoes bite her until her head turns into white bones.¡±
After Wang Zhixuan finished speaking, Leng Yi didn't say anything. The guards on the side stepped forward and grabbed the boy and left. Seeing that both Wang and Leng were silent, the boy couldn't help but become anxious. He grabbed him and refused to go away, shouting: "Two Sir, I really know everything, don¡¯t kill me, please.¡±
Wang Zhixuan waved his hand, with an indifferent look on his face, and said loudly: "Such a drug-testing boy is not served by Yue Lengqing. How can he know everything? He is just telling us on purpose to deceive us. Quickly pull him down and kill him." Let Yue Lengqing see, we are not vegetarians, no one knows how to kill, it¡¯s just a sword rising and falling."
After hearing this, the guard simply picked up the boy's legs and walked away quickly.
"My lord, the emperor asked the master to take him into the secret room. The princess asked the master to put him down last night. What I said is true"
Wang Zhixuan looked at Leng Yi and knew that the heat was almost over, so he said slowly: "If you tell a lie, I will not let you off lightly."
After hearing this, the guard threw the boy to the ground heavily. The boy didn't even make a sound. He stumbled onto the ground and crawled to Wang Zhixuan and Leng Yi. He said with runny nose and tears: "Although I am the master He is a drug-testing boy, but he spends at least six hours a day with the master. Yesterday, after the master brought the emperor and the princess back together, he soaked one of them in biting ice water and the other in warm water. , last night the master lowered the princess from the east mountain gate, and just now someone used some terrible thing to open our mountain gate, so the emperor asked the master to take her away. "
Although Wang Zhixuan didn't see the thrilling scene just now, he still heard the loud noise at the foot of the mountain. Looking at the boy's lively face, he seemed to have seen some monster. He felt funny in his heart, but it was hard to express it. He coughed After two calls, he looked at Leng Yi and found that Leng Yi had no reaction at all.
"Didn't your master kill the princess? How could he put her down so easily?" Wang Zhixuan said.
Before the boy could speak, Leng Yi said: "You have forgotten that before we went up the mountain, Hong'er and the others walked for only half an hour and three hours. During this period, they were eliminating the traps and traps set by Yue Lengqing along the way. Isn¡¯t it obvious that Yue Lengqing put a little girl down on the mountain at night? "
After Wang Zhixuan heard this, his heart suddenly sank and he said angrily: "Your master?A vicious heart actually came up with such a vicious method"
Seeing that Wang Zhixuan was angry, the boy was afraid that he would kill him again, so he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "I can take the two adults to find my master. I know where the secret room on the mountain of my master is."
Leng Yi thought for a while and then said: "Zhixuan, in this case, you go and meet Hong'er and the others, and then go to find the emperor. I will take people to find Jinyan."
Wang Zhixuan said a little impatiently: "Sir, let me go find the princess. This mountain is too big, and we didn't come up from the east before. If this boy didn't lie, I'll take a few people to see it again from the east. Look, the Emperor¡¯s matter is a big one, you¡¯d better go to the Emperor first to avoid the Empress Dowager getting blamed"
Leng Yi saw that Wang Zhixuan insisted on looking for Fang Jinyan, and thought that the Empress Dowager was also sick because of the emperor. At this time, he could only hope that Fang Jinyan could seek happiness for herself. If she was still alive, Yue Lengqing could no longer care about Fang Jinyan. Because she was leaving with the emperor, in order to prevent her from hurting the emperor by jumping over the wall, it was better to find the emperor first.
"Okay, since that's the case, I'll go to the emperor first and take the signal bombs delivered by each as the standard. If anything happens, let us know at any time."
Wang Zhixuan cupped his hands and said, "Sir, please don't worry." After saying that, he led a dozen people towards the east.
Leng Yi looked at Wang Zhixuan's figure and sighed, and without thinking too much, he took the people up the mountain to meet Bai Hong and the others.
Just when Leng Yi and the others were searching for the emperor and Fang Jinyan all over the mountain, Fang Jinyan was curled up in a ball in a cold stone cave, sleeping in a daze, shaking his head, next to him was a killed animal. Coyote, the dagger Yue Lengqing gave to Fang Jinyan was still stuck in the body of the coyote. There was a pile of burned out bonfires next to the body of the coyote. The cave was not big and could only accommodate one or two people. , filled with the smell of mold and blood.
Suddenly there was a rustling sound, and Fang Jinyan immediately opened her eyes and pulled out the dagger from the coyote. The cave was very short, so she could only crawl on her knees. She quickly moved to the door of the cave. In front of the door, some branches cut by Fang Jinyan were placed in front of the door to disguise it. This way, it was not easy to find the cave from the outside, but the outside could be seen clearly from inside the cave.
"Senior sister, the master has taken the emperor away at this time, and asked outsiders to patrol the mountain here to find the princess. If people from down the mountain find us, then we will be in misery." A voice muttered dissatisfiedly. He walked past the cave, holding a long knife in his hand and waving it in front of the mountain gate.
"You talk a lot, didn't the master say that? That prime minister named Leng Yi is just an embroiderer of pillows and has no skills. If the empress dowager hadn't thought highly of him, think about it, how could he be a prime minister who is only in his twenties? He has become the prime minister who is inferior to one person but more than ten thousand people. Didn¡¯t our master say that? Lord Lu is much more capable than Leng Yi." Followed closely behind him was a medicine boy who looked older than before. He also held a long knife and waved it around like the people in front of him to check.
"Senior sister, you are the most proud disciple of our master. You said that if Leng Yi dies in the hands of our master this time, and Mr. Lu becomes the prime minister, will our master be able to become the national master?"
"You are so beautiful! Not only does Leng Yi need to die, but the princess also needs to die. Didn't the Queen say that? The Queen Mother will agree to anything for her grandson. When Leng Yi dies, That Fang Jinyan is also dead, so this Song Dynasty no longer belongs to our master?"
Several people chattered and slowly left from the cave.
Seeing that they were gone, Fang Jinyan relaxed and sat down on the ground. It was already completely bright, and the sunlight filtered in through the gaps in the branches. Fang Jinyan looked at herself, and then she realized that she was covered in blood, and her hands were covered in blood. Yes, her hair was scattered around her body. She smiled bitterly, glanced at the corpse of the beast in front of her, put the dagger on the ground, and said to herself: "Yue Ning, it turns out that you not only want my life, you Even my eldest brother doesn¡¯t want to let it go.¡±
However, the people who passed by just now also gave Fang Jinyan a message, that is, Leng Yi also went up the mountain, and it was deliberately designed by Yue Lengqing. It seemed that he really could not underestimate the queen and Yue Lengqing, in order to eliminate him in one fell swoop. He and Leng Yi actually kidnapped the emperor. Thinking of this, Fang Jinyan couldn't help but sigh and said: "Yuan Xiu, you must not get into trouble, otherwise, the Song Dynasty will be in chaos."
I don't know how much time passed, but Fang Jinyan heard someone approaching the cave from afar. Fang Jinyan could see the situation outside the cave from where she was sitting. She only needed to turn slightly to see everything outside the cave. .
"Big??, we have all found this place, will the princess have gone down the mountain? This place is not far from Yue Lengqing's old home. She walked all night, wouldn't she just come here? "A voice said. (To be continued.
