Seeing this, Chen Xiaobei secretly lamented that Xiao Jingyun was born at the wrong time. If he had gone to burn incense one day later,...
But just halfway through thinking, Chen Xiaobei shook his head slightly. Even if Jamel Xiao went to burn incense in a few days, would he tell him?
Chen Xiaobei was obviously a little hesitant. Even if he could find out the news, he probably would not tell Jamel Xiao himself, and it was impossible for Jamel Xiao to know.
I have a secret connection with the Great Earth Country, which will make people think of it.
"Prince Xiao Jingyun has been injured by your people. I think it may be the work of these countries. They used poison. The prince is already unconscious. Can you help find an antidote?" Chen Xiaobei asked tentatively.
The person cupped his fists and said, "Sir, please forgive me, I can't do anything about this."
"Guard Captain Dobang is good at using poison. Unless we find him, I'm afraid it will be difficult to determine what poison it is!"
After hearing this, Chen Xiaobei felt a chill in his heart. This basically sentenced Prince Xiao Jingyun to death.
At this time, Duobang has sneaked back to Wannian City. He needs to be convinced of the death of Prince Xiao Jingyun before he can claim credit from the emperor.
The rest of the men saw that he was the only one who came back without Alido. In fact, everyone understood what was going on, but in this era, dead people were commonplace.
Duobang said to everyone, "After lunch, you all go out to find out the news for me. Xiao Jingyun has been injured, and there will be news of his death within two days. Then we can ask the emperor for credit."
Here they are preparing to celebrate, but at this moment Xiao An has trouble sleeping and eating.
Upon learning that his son had been poisoned again, Xiao An's face turned into a piece of bitter gourd.
Think about it too. He was poisoned twice in a short period of time, which really made the royal family lose face.
But then again, what can we do if we lose everything? It's better to think of a way to save his son's life.
With the experience last time, I hope Yiyi has no choice but to post the imperial list here.
After the imperial list was posted, Xiao An sat there still worried.
When the guard captain Bai Han saw this, he couldn't help but persuaded, "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince, and the auspicious person and heavenly minister, everything will be fine. Someone will come to reveal the list soon."
Xiao An sighed, "I hope so. Last time it was Chen Xiaobei who rescued Jing Yun from danger. Who will it be this time?"
While the two were looking forward to this, Liu Rumei and Xiao Qing, who were thousands of miles away, had arrived at the border on horseback.
Far away, Liu Rumei had already called Xiaoqing to dismount and led the horse into the woods nearby.
Finding a piece of withered grass, Liu Rumei took off the reins from the horse's neck.
"Xiao Qing, we are going to Pingzhou if we go further. We can't ride horses anymore. We have to go there quietly. It's a big help for us to have two horses here. Let them go freely."
Xiaoqing nodded, the two looked at each other, and left quietly while the horse was eating grass.
In fact, having said that, even if they walked openly, the two horses probably wouldn't express much. To the horses, it was just a few days of running.
The two of them walked forward slowly along the path, but after walking for a while, Liu Rumei stopped. She hid behind a big tree and looked into the distance, her expression becoming quite serious.
"Xiao Qing, you must have seen it. People from the Earth Kingdom are patrolling not far ahead. We are afraid that we won't be able to get through during the day, so we can only wait until night."
Xiao Qing looked into the distance and her face became serious, "Miss, could it be that our whereabouts have been discovered?"
Liu Rumei Wan'er smiled, "So many of us disappeared all at once, we must have to find a way to return home."
"Okay, let's find a place to rest."
The two found a sheltered place, basked in the sun, and fell asleep in a daze. They were too tired from running around for days.
At this time, in Wannian City, Duobang had already started preparing for the next target.
At first, he told the emperor that he wanted to kill all the Xiao family father and son. Now Xiao Jingyun is basically dead, and it is Xiao An's turn next.
Duobang made a bold decision. He wanted to visit the palace at night and offer this battle.
As night fell, Wannian City was heavily guarded, and soldiers patrolling the streets came and went.
But obviously, such patrol intensity was meaningless to an expert like Duobang, and soon he arrived at the edge of the palace.
Duobang crouched in the dark and observed carefully. The guards of the palace were obviously much stricter than those of the Prince's Mansion. Moreover, the palace had added high-wall guards. At the corner of each wall, there was a small watchtower with a soldier in charge. Wait and see.
It would be much more difficult to sneak into the palace in this way.
After much thought, Duobang finally decided to take the risk.
He hid in the dark and waited patiently. He had to wait until the soldiers took over their shifts. Normally, the soldiers had to change their posts every hour.
Sure enough, after waiting for about half an hour, the soldiers changing the guard arrived.
Taking advantage of the chaotic moment of the changing of the guard, Duobang jumped up onto the wall, lay there and waited for a while, making sure that no one noticed him, and then quietly fell into the palace.
As soon as we landed in the palace, we heard a crashing sound.
It turned out that there were a lot of dead leaves and hay piled at the base of the wall.
This was done deliberately by Bai Han to prevent someone from climbing over the wall. This movement naturally alerted the soldiers who were changing the guard!
Of course Duobang also knew that as soon as this news came out, he would have no chance tonight, so he quickly jumped out and ran away.
Soon there was a commotion in Wannian City, and soldiers were chasing him all the way, but it was obvious that it would be difficult to catch up with Duobang.
After chasing all the way, Duobang quietly hid on a roof to avoid the pursuing soldiers. He waited until he gradually calmed down before quietly returning to the inn.
After returning to the inn, Duobang also understood that he had alerted the enemy and it would be difficult to enter the palace again within three to five days, so he had to change his target.
After thinking about it, Duobang decided to finally turn his target to the mysterious prince-in-law Chen Xiaobei. Killing Chen Xiaobei would not only make the Emperor Xiao An of the Dacang Kingdom lose his son and son-in-law, but also make the people in the Great Tu Kingdom become troubled. The earth-shaking Liu Rumei lost her husband, killing two birds with one stone.
At this time, in the palace, Xiao An was also shocked. He hoped that his son was not the one who was targeting him. The other party was too arrogant.
But it was no longer possible for his son to be in charge of the country when he was seriously injured, and he had to step in for some things.
Xiao An turned to look at the guard captain Bai Han, "Go and pass on the decree, seal off Wannian City, search from house to house, and be sure to find this murderer."
Bai Han bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive my words. We might as well ask Mr. Liu to come forward. Let Mr. Liu take charge of the overall situation and we will definitely be able to stabilize the situation."
