"Damn it, why is he grounded at this time? Could it be that the news leaked and the other party was on guard?"
"If the news is leaked, it will be impossible for us to enter Chang'an City. It should be just a coincidence."
"What should we do now?"
A middle-aged man with a thin bamboo pole said with sinister eyes: "Everyone, since everyone is here to make money, we must work together. The original plan of who gets the gold in the end should be changed."
"Change? No one can see it, change the plan. I checked, it seems that there are secret guards within ten miles around Xiaojiazhuang. The emperor really favors this son-in-law. Then Xiao Rui can't leave Xiao Jiazhuang, we have no chance." The short man complained.
Others seemed to have the same attitude and were not very optimistic about this mission.
Shou Zhugan sneered: "Since he won't go out on his own initiative, let's lure the snake out of the hole. Tie up his family and force him to show up."
Um? ? ?
The burly man hesitated and said: "Isn't this good? Our target is Xiao Rui. It is the rule of the road not to bring harm to the family."
"Rules? Who among us has ever told the rules? Who doesn't kill people like hemp? If we follow the rules, there is no need to come at all. Who dares to kill the champion Hou Xiaorui?" Shouzhugan mocked.
Others agreed, "That's right, not to mention Xiao Rui, it's his family, Song Guogong Xiao Yu, and behind him is the powerful Xiao family. Who dares to tamper?"
After explaining this truth, everyone agreed to lure the snake out of its hole, but how to divide the money? Who is going to kidnap and who is going to intercept and kill?
After some planning, the six people finally decided to share the bounty equally and divide the work.
"Xiao Yu, the Duke of Song Dynasty, is the prime minister. He is always guarded when he comes in and out, and he rarely leaves Chang'an City. If it is an assassination, it is easy to say, but if it is a kidnapping, there is no chance." Everyone was worried.
At this time, the person who spoke the least spoke. This person was dressed in plain clothes, had a gray beard, and was tightly wrapped in a cloak. He was the oldest and strongest among the group.
"Hmph, a bunch of cowardly young people are useless. Do you only want to kidnap Xiao's family? There are many people related to Xiao Rui, so I know that there is a suitable candidate who is the easiest to do it and can definitely fish out Xiao Rui."
who?
The old man said in a deep voice: "Princess Changle."
What? ? ?
Princess Changle? Are you crazy? We are dealing with Xiao Rui, not the royal family. Kidnapping a country’s princess? Do you want to blackmail Xiao Rui? Or do you want to blackmail the Emperor of Tang Dynasty? Even if she needs to be tied up, it should be Princess Xiangcheng.
The old man sneered and said: "You don't understand. Although Princess Changle is the emperor's favorite daughter, she is the closest to the Xiao family. She runs to the Xiao family village almost every day, and there are very few guards around her, two in the open and five in secret. Compared with Xiao Yu is much easier to strike."
Hiss...who is this old man's background? Are you so familiar with royal affairs?
Shou Zhugan said in deep thought: "Senior, we don't want to offend the royal family."
The old man mocked: "Haha, it's just a bunch of people, it's hard to achieve great things."
you……
Everyone was dissatisfied and wanted to take action, but they were intimidated by the old man's momentum and all retreated.
"Do you think that just touching Xiao Rui is not provoking the royal family? Xiao Rui is the emperor's favorite consort, and he is both civil and military, and has a very high reputation. In the emperor's heart, he is even more important than ordinary princes. From the moment you took over this task From the beginning, it means that we are against the entire Tang Dynasty."
The words left everyone speechless.
Seeing that they were still hesitating, the old man advised: "You are gathering here for money, not Lao Chen. I can give up my share and divide it equally between you. If there is danger, you run away first, and Lao Cao takes the last step."
Um? ? ? So selfless? So what are you planning?
Shou Zhugan asked cautiously: "Senior, no one wants nothing. What is your purpose?"
The old man said in a cold voice: "I only want Xiao Rui to die, even if we die together."
"Oh? I haven't heard that Xiao Rui has an enemy in the world. May I ask who you are?"
The old man didn't say anything. In order to encourage this group of people to unite and work hard, he needed to be the reassurance, so he lifted up his cloak and untied his turban. Everyone suddenly realized that there was no objection.
In Xiaojiazhuang, Princess Changle took Xiangcheng's hand and begged: "Sister, please go back with me. The queen mother said that I haven't seen you for a long time and miss you very much. There are many things in her palace, and she is always worried. I can’t get out. I asked you to come back and stay with me for a few days. He also said that it will be inconvenient for you after a while. I don’t know what the inconvenience is. Anyway, you just come with me. "
Xiangcheng felt a little guilty when he mentioned his father and mother. He nodded and agreed to Chang Le's plea and went to say hello to Xiao Rui.
As for the inconvenience, Xiao Changle doesn't understand, but Xiangcheng understands that while the child in the belly is still small and can move around, after a while, the belly will get bigger and bigger, and it will be inconvenient to travel and work, even if Chang'an is far away. Not even a few dozen miles.
Of course, Xiao Rui had no reason to disagree, and he even thoughtfully sent Li Junxian and a team of people to escort him.
"Dabai, Erhua, you have to be good. I will go back to the palace for two days and come back to play with you in a few days. By the way, you two can't eat the things we hide together. We will divide them equally when I come back. …”
The chattering little Changle chatted with the two strange beasts for a long time, and then he accompanied his sister on the kawaii four-wheel carriage.
Li Junxian was responsible for the escort, and also brought a carriage of rural local products as a gift to the queen.
"Sister, I made an agreement with Dabai and Erhua to stay here for only two days. Hey, we'll come back together then. If it's too long, they'll start fighting over snacks again."
"You, just take those two playmates with you. At such a young age, you don't play with your peers, but you run around with two pets..."
The two sisters were chatting when suddenly Li Junxian's alert voice came from outside: "Stop! The entire army is on alert!"
The carriage stopped suddenly, and Princess Xiangcheng felt dizzy.
Xiao Changle got out of the carriage and shouted: "Hey, General Li, what happened?"
Li Junxian pointed forward, "Princess, be careful, you and Princess Xiangcheng hide in the carriage, there is someone blocking the way in front of you."
Blocking the road? Is it a robbery? Little Changle's eyes lit up with little stars. He had only heard of them in stories, but he didn't expect to see them himself.
Li Junxian shouted sternly: "How dare you block the road and cut off the path under the Emperor's feet? Do you know whose car this is? Leave quickly and spare your life!"
The thin bamboo pole smiled sinisterly and said: "Jie Jie Jie... Who in Chang'an doesn't recognize Princess Changle's carriage?"
Um? So, you are here prepared, specifically to intercept the little princess? Li Junxian was startled, there was no chance of an ambush.
Xiao Changle was surprised and said: "Wow, it turns out you are looking for me. General Li, let me come. Let me come."
With that said, he jumped off the carriage and trotted forward. Li Junxian was so frightened that he picked it up and protected it behind him, "The princess is in danger!"
Shou Zhugan gave an order, and a hidden weapon appeared in the hands of the five people on the opposite side, and they scattered it towards the guards of the carriage.
"Protect the carriage!" Li Junxian shouted angrily, handed the little princess in his arms to his men, then mounted the horse himself and charged forward with a group of people.
