Clear and Muddy Loss of Love

Chapter 224

The way of the world has always been through the past and the present

Qi Yan heard the sound of the sword coming out of its sheath, wiped it on Nangongda's neck without hesitation, and then leaned back, with a "ding", someone's knife tip hit the hair on the top of Qi Yan's head. The headband shattered, and Qi Yan's hair also fell loose.

Nangongda clutched his neck and struggled painfully on the ground. Nangongda's confidant threw himself on him and shouted loudly.

At the moment of life and death, Qi Yan had no time to think. She only knew that once Nangongda died, the imperial army would be passive without a leader. If she died like this, if she could pull one more member of the Nangong royal family on her back, Huangquan Road would be more lively.

As for being able to dodge this blow, it all depends on luck. If you are a little slower, maybe the one that was split by the knife is your own head.

Qi Yan held the dagger and took a few steps back, but it was still very dangerous, the enemy was outnumbered, and the opponent was equipped with bows and arrows, if he turned around and ran away, he would be shot to death by random arrows, resistance and escape would not work, only Outsmarted a way out.

"Master! Master!!!" Nangongda's confidant lay on Nangongda's body and wept bitterly, but seeing that the blood-sealed throat poison had already flowed along his wound, and as the blood flowed all over his body, Nangongda's convulsions became more and more intense , Seeing that it is about to fail.

Nangongda's struggle attracted the attention of the Yulin army, and also gave Qi Yan a few breaths of buffer to think about countermeasures.

Qi Yan quickly analyzed the situation in front of him: once Nan Gongda died, these Imperial Forest Army lost their support and motivation, there may be two results.

One is: smashing the cans and smashing them, directly forcing the palace to cause chaos, and trying to get the promise of not being held accountable by the superiors.

The second is: abandon the car to save the handsome, sacrifice a small number of people as scapegoats, and save more people.

In this way, it seems that I have no chance at all, but... there are so many people on the other side, and everyone has their own ideas. It is not easy to communicate, but if there is a mistake in a sentence, which offends someone, let a cold arrow come out Don't even think about living yourself!

Nangongda died, and the guards in the front row gradually turned their attention to Qi Yan, seeing that their eyes were not friendly, and they raised their weapons one after another.

Qi Yan took a deep breath and dropped the dagger in his hand: "Everyone, please listen to me."

"Fuck your shit, take your life!"

Qi Yan: "I have a way to make everyone present, including your family, safe!"

The Imperial Forest Army created a commotion, but fortunately no one came out to attack Qi Yan, Qi Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "Nangongda's rebellion has nothing to do with you, I can testify for you, first arrest this person!" Da's confidant.

The Yulin Army hesitated for a moment, and several people took the lead to control Nangongda's confidant. The opponent cursed, but was subdued by the Yulin Army's three punches and two kicks, and dared not speak out.

One of the imperial guards pointed at Qi Yan with a knife: "There are so many of us, what if you cross the river and tear down the bridge?"

Qi Yan: "Everyone, killing me can only be quick for a while. Without me as a witness, it will not be good for you. I know that most of you are descendants of aristocratic families. Imagine your family members! Everyone... Nangongda conspired against you, you have already killed the rebel, take his body and accomplices back with me, not only are you not at fault, but you have merit!"

The imperial forest soldiers whispered, some believed and some did not, Qi Yan's heart was also beating drums, trying to show a calm look.

Qi Yan: "Everyone, Mr. Zhongshu Ling Xing and Mr. Taiwei Lu have already seen through Nangongda's conspiracy. I followed him out, which is also the intention of several Highnesses and adults. As long as I testify for everyone, I can guarantee Everyone is safe." The implication: Many people have seen what happened with Qi Yan, and if they kill her, it will only make their crimes more serious.

There are quite a few confidantes that Nangongda placed in the team, but at this time Nangongda is dead, it is useless for them to instigate any more, if they make a noise and are noticed, they may become scapegoats.

Therefore, these people could only watch Qi Yan calm down the emotions of the Imperial Forest Army with every single word. Several leaders of the Imperial Forest Army got together to study it, and decided to believe in Qi Yan once.

The most important thing is: these people are of relatively high background, and their fathers or elders in the clan are officials in the court. Although most of them are officials below the fourth rank, they are more comprehensive than those from the Imperial Forest Army who are local officials. .

They recognized Qi Yan: Princess Zhenzhen's son-in-law, Ma Shi was just given the posthumous title of supreme honor after the Yuan Dynasty, and Princess Zhenzhen, the only legitimate daughter, has an even more noble status.

Several people gathered in one place to discuss in a low voice: "Brothers, let's just trust him once."

"What if he betrays us?"

"The law does not blame the public, there are so many of us."

"What should we do if we cross the river and demolish the bridge? Are you not afraid that the court will settle accounts after autumn?"

"Nangongda was killed by him. We have seen it with so many eyes. Now he has no choice."

"Nangongda's rebellion, did he rely on his followers? Any fool knows there must be internal support. What should the court do if the court continues to investigate?"

"...Then we can only protect our lives wisely. At least our lives can be saved. In the worst case, we can push all the crimes to those people outside. If we can survive, we will live alone."

"It makes sense, as long as Zhen Zhen's son-in-law can fully testify for us, at least our thousand brothers can live, and then we will say..."

"Just say that those who surrounded Ganquan Palace conspired against each other, and we are here to escort them!"

"Yes, yes, this is a good way."

"Then what about those brothers outside? Why don't we kill him, and then separate, as if nothing happened!"

"Did you piss your horse? Didn't you hear what he said just now? Master Lu and Zhongshuling both know about this matter, and if he died, who will testify for us? We are the leaders who are unlucky without witnesses." What? Do you think about those people below, do you think that they won’t betray you after the incident has been investigated layer by layer?”

"Okay, let's follow what the boss said. If a prince dies, the court will pursue it no matter what. If another son-in-law dies, none of us will be able to escape."

"Damn it, I thought that following Nangong Daqian would make me stand up, but it turned out to be like this."

"Ask for wealth and wealth. If you can't ask for it, it's important to save your life. Don't delay. Maybe the inner palace has heard the news."

……

Several leaders reached a consensus, and one of them stood at the front of the line and raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, I won't tell you if the time is too tight. If you are asked later, you will say that we are here to escort you, remember?" ?”

There were a few echoes in the team, and the leader shouted angrily again: "I'm fucking dying? Remember!"

"remember!"

Qi Yan let out a long breath, and felt a surge of fear in his heart.

In fact, Qi Yan didn't expect Nangongda to be so anxious, but her intuition told her that Nangongda might make some small moves.

Although the matter in front of him was temporarily resolved and his life was saved, but just now he passed Hades several times.

Several imperial guards lifted up Nangongda's body, carried Nangongda's followers to pick up Qi Yan's dagger, and followed Qi Yan to the Forbidden Palace.

Qi Yan said again: "It's enough to send a few teams to follow me, and further ahead is the main hall where His Majesty rests, so as not to lose avoidance."

Several leaders were divided into two groups, one group took a dozen people and Qi Yan away, and the rest stayed behind to collude with each other.

Walking to the corner, Qi Yan reminded again "kindly": "Please go to the front and pick up all the arrows you just shot."

……

Several imperial guards did as they said, and at the same time, they had some confidence in their hearts. It seemed that the son-in-law really wanted to help them.

The base camp of the patrol battalion is in the west of the city. Lu Zhongxing and Liu Ziyu went out of Ganquan Palace all the way to the west. As soon as they reached the first palace wall of Ganquan Palace, they were stopped by the Imperial Forest Army. With the weapon, he opened a bloody path, found a place where the guards were weak, climbed over the wall and ran away.

However, this move also angered the Imperial Forest Army who had not received any notice, and they launched a pursuit of Lu Zhongxing and Liu Ziyu.

The same is to shoulder the mission, but the situation on Chen Chuansi's side is completely different. Chen Chuansi entered the palace at a young age and has lived in the inner court for more than ten years, while the Imperial Forest Army will change every few years, so Chen Chuansi is better than the Imperial Forest Army. The roads are more familiar, the nobles in the palace usually take the spacious roads, and most of the Imperial Forest Army patrols there, they may not know some secluded paths.

Chen Chuansi took advantage of his advantage and successfully bypassed the second palace wall of Ganquan Palace. Instead of rushing out, he came to a side courtyard and used the water tank in the courtyard to climb over the wall. Daoqiang, took a small path to the adjacent Fengzao Palace.

Fengzao Palace is the residence of the empresses of all dynasties. This palace has been empty since the death of Madam Ma in the Yuan Dynasty. From the outside, it still maintains the former scenery, but Nangong Rang has not been here for many years after he fell ill. The servants of the inner court Taking the annual renovation funds from the Inner Court Department and filling their pockets, the interior of Fengzao Palace has been abandoned.

Chen Chuansi came to a remote courtyard, waded through the mud up to his feet, and walked to the wall. There was a row of water tanks beside the wall, and there were many footprints in front of one of the water tanks.

Chen Chuansi came to the front of the water tank, supported the edge of the tank and jumped in.

There is a hole in the water tank, which is connected to a dog hole on the palace wall. Going out from here is a gap between the palace wall and the palace wall. People who don’t usually go go out and drill a few more dog holes like this. , you can reach the corner gate.

In this solemn and solemn inner court, nobles have their way, and villains have their way.

As far as Chen Chuansi knows, many of the chief stewards and aunts in the inner court have mansions outside the palace. This huge inner court needs a lot of money every day to maintain its operation. Three melons and two dates are enough to feed a big family when taken outside.

These nobles, princes, princesses, they can't remember how many little things they have, including Nangongrang's old age, many servants stole Nangongrang's things under Sijiu's nose.

The servants will be searched when they go out from the main gate. Since the previous dynasty, they have their own way...

Looking at the entire inner court, among these servants, only Sijiu lived the most peaceful life.

Although Chen Chuansi was loyal, he also planned for himself. This road was a tacit secret for everyone. He kept it from those nobles, and of course he had to keep it from Sijiu.
