Chapter 239
Where is Xiao Junzhan?
When he got the news of Wei Hanzhang's attack, he had already come out of the paddock. He saw that the sky was dark, the bonfire had been lit for a long time, but his sweetheart had not returned yet, thinking that she was so happy that she forgot about the time.
Just as he was about to send someone to look for her, he looked up and saw the secret guard he had placed next to the little girl arriving, covered in blood. At that moment, his heart almost jumped out of his throat.
The ministers and guards around him did not recognize the secret guards around Wei Hanzhang. When they saw that the person was covered in blood, they tried to stop him, but the other person fainted from exhaustion.
Xiao Junzhan had already stood up in shock, walked quickly down from the high platform, and ordered quickly: "Wake her up!"
He had always been dignified, but suddenly he acted in such a manner, which made the ministers and ministers present have different expressions.
His eyes fell on the fainted man again, and those who were more keen had already predicted that something big was going to happen.
Yingyi was helped up by someone, and he drank a mouthful of ginseng soup before he regained some strength. He looked at Xiao Junzhan, his eyes brightened, and said urgently: "Your Highness! There is an ambush in the paddock. The girl was attacked by an assassin. I am escorting you." They are all dead. The horse the girl was riding was frightened and went into the forest. Life or death is uncertain now. Go and save people!"
The surroundings suddenly became quiet. Although the ministers and ministers were shocked, Xiao Junzhan seemed to have lost his hearing and could not hear anything.
Only the sentence "life or death is uncertain" is echoing.
He closed his eyes suddenly, and when he opened them again, his voice was as cold as a knife: "Deng Chen!"
In the crowd, a middle-aged man stepped out, knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "I am here."
He is the leader of the Forbidden Army, and he was also responsible for the safety protection mission for this autumn hunt. Now, an assassin attacked and killed the Crown Princess in the paddock.
The crime that was enough to implicate the entire clan made this tough-minded man panic.
"Where did the assassin come from? You will explain it to me after the incident!" Xiao Junzhan said with a frosty face: "Now the order is sent to the Imperial Guard to guard all the exits of this mountain forest. Not a single fly is allowed to go."
“I obey the decree!” This was an opportunity to atone for his sins. Deng Chen kowtowed heavily and accepted the order.
Xiao Junzhan got on his horse, took off the private seal on his waist, and shouted: "Xie Li!"
Xie Li, the chief waiter at the gate, bowed and walked out: "The minister is here."
"Take the private seal and quickly go to the northern camp on the outskirts of Beijing, count 10,000 troops, and go up the mountain to search." Xiao Junzhan took off the private seal from his waist. When Ning Hai took it, he saw his master's hands trembling with his own eyes.
Xie Li hurriedly accepted the order, his face full of horror. This was a military camp.
The Daling Dynasty has been at peace for a long time. The last time the army was used was when the vassal princes rebelled when the late emperor was still alive. The military camp in the capital has been training troops for many years, but there has been no bloodshed for a long time.
Xiao Junzhan was riding on his horse, looking around at the ministers. When his eyes swept across several clan princes, the murderous intent in his eyes was undisguised.
His Ran Ran is well-behaved and pleasant, and has never made any enemies, but he has been assassinated many times, all because his position as Crown Princess has affected the interests of these people.
He was wrong. He should not be soft-hearted. As early as the appearance of the insect powder, he should have been ruthless and use iron and blood to kill all those who had the slightest motive.
Whoever has the motive to take action should die!
Now is not the time to deal with them. Xiao Junzhan gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone should go back to their tents to stay. They are not allowed to leave without Gu's order. Violators will be punished as treason."
After saying that, he swung down the riding whip in his hand, and the horse galloped towards the paddock, followed closely by a column of East Palace Guards.
From the beginning to the end, no one dared to persuade me.
…
It was dark at night. In the small cave, Wei Hanzhang took a water bag and drank carefully to soothe his empty stomach.
Perhaps because he was too seriously injured, Chen Zishu leaned against the cave wall with his shoulders crooked, closing his eyes as if sleeping. Wei Hanzhang glanced at him, fearing that the man would faint, and asked in a low voice: "Do you want a drink of water?" ” The other party remained motionless and did not speak.
Wei Hanzhang frowned and wanted to see if the man was still awake. He tilted his head slightly, and he held his shoulder and pushed him farther away: "Don't get too close to me."
"???" Wei Hanzhang almost laughed angrily and said: "The cave is only so big, and there is a fire over there. I have already shrunk in a corner..."
The hand on his shoulder had not been retracted to begin with. Perhaps he was a little annoyed by her noise, so he pushed the person away for a moment and started to push in the opposite direction.
Wei Hanzhang was startled, raised his hand to his chest, rubbed his neck and said, "Chen Zishu, what are you doing!"
The girl's voice was sullen. Chen Zishu frowned when he heard it. The next moment he opened his eyes, he met her angry eyes.
He finally realized that he was almost holding the person in his arms, and hurriedly let go of his hand. He shrank back, and when the wound touched the wall, he subconsciously took a breath and apologized: "I thought it was in a dream, it was not intentional. ”
…”
In the dream, it was reasonable to ask her to stay far away, but why did she keep her close?
Wei Hanzhang felt very uncomfortable and did not want to be squeezed into such a small cave with him anymore. She raised her eyes and looked at the entrance and asked, "I don't know what time it is. Why haven't the imperial guards come here yet?"
"This place is the deepest part of the paddock. If you want to find it, you will have to waste some time."
Perceiving her resistance, Chen Zishu paused, bent down and stood up, and said: "Please wait a moment, I will look for anything to eat nearby."
“It’s pitch black outside, what can you find to eat?” Wei Hanzhang called to him: “Besides, aren’t you afraid of encountering wild beasts in this deep forest?”
This man was seriously injured. If he went out like this, he didn't feel like he would encounter a ferocious beast. He was afraid that he would fall outside.
Her words were obviously unpleasant, but Chen Zishu smiled slightly when he heard them. He was about to say something, but suddenly paused. After listening for a long time, his smile subsided and he said: "There are horses' hoofbeats approaching, and there are many people." , I think the Imperial Guard is here."
There are not so many assassins.
Wei Hanzhang felt happy and heard him say again: "To ensure caution, I will go out to investigate. You stay here."
After saying that, he walked out of the cave, turned back to look at her, and carefully covered the entrance of the cave again.
That look in his eyes was very complicated. Wei Hanzhang hugged his knees and sat by the fire. His leaving figure and his last look always flashed in his mind, and he waited in fear.
I don’t know how long it took, but the sound of horse hooves could be clearly heard, getting closer and closer. After a while, a set of footsteps sounded and stopped at the entrance of the cave.
Wei Hanzhang sat up straight, her back stiff, and she stared as the branch was removed and a familiar black figure appeared in front of her. Her nose suddenly felt sore.
Xiao Junzhan bent down and walked into the cave, with only the pale little girl in his sight, "Ran Ran..."
When he spoke, his voice trembled.
Wei Hanzhang wanted to cry when he heard this. He felt terribly wronged for no reason.
She has never been so frightened, and she has never been injured by such a severe sharp weapon. If Chen Zizhu hadn't been here, she would have died today at the hands of the man in black.
Even though he knew that there must be many people waiting outside, he couldn't help but his eyes turned red.
Xiao Junzhan was so distressed by the sight of her that he wanted to carry her out, but then he raised his hand and finally saw the wound on her arm that had been simply bandaged.
The long sleeves were cut with a sharp slit, and were torn even further in order to facilitate bandaging.
…Obviously she can’t do it on her own.
