When Princess Jianning heard that a general had escaped, she lost her temper and cursed: "Ruidong, you are such a loser, why did you let someone escape?" Xiang Yan said anxiously: "Princess, now is not the time to hold people responsible, we should hurry up Run!" Princess Jianning said: "Ruidong, let me know, leave immediately and go back as soon as possible."
Ruidong said: "Princess, King Pingxi knows our marching route. It would be risky for us to go north to Guizhou as planned. Just in case, we might as well change our route to the east and return to the capital from Guangxi via Huguang. In addition, King Pingxi of Yunnan It’s our territory, we’d better not disturb the officials on the road, and only camp in the wilderness to rest.” Princess Jianning said: “I am a little girl who doesn’t know the world. You can just discuss this matter.”
Ruidong ordered the team to change its route to the east. The guards heard that Wu Yingxiong was seriously injured and was dying. Ruidong sent people to kill Wu Yingxiong's men, but one of them escaped, which made everyone panic. Now he hurried on his way, not daring to disturb the government, and only camped in the wilderness to rest every night. When the team arrived in Guangxi, they took on the title of princess and accepted supplies from the government.
Seeing that Kunming was getting further and further away, Xiang Yan gradually felt relieved. The guards and soldiers were also frightened and returned to their old ways. They began to blackmail the prefectures and counties and harass the local areas. On this day, I arrived at Si'en Mansion. When the local magistrate heard that the princess was coming, he tried his best to provide her with supplies.
Ruidong found Xiang Yan and said, "Eunuch Xiang, the emperor sent us to capture Chen Yuanyuan and enter the palace. However, we failed to capture the person and the mission failed. Later, because of Wu Yingxiong's molestation of the princess, we escorted the princess to leave Yunnan. So the princess has arrived. Guangxi is already safe. We might as well take this opportunity to return to Yunnan and continue the mission of capturing Chen Yuanyuan."
Xiang Yan hesitated and said, "The safety of the princess is important. Si'en Mansion is adjacent to Yunnan, so it's still not safe enough. It's better to wait until the princess is further away from Yunnan and it's completely safe before we catch Chen Yuanyuan." Ruidong smiled and said, "Xiang Yan My father-in-law is worrying too much. King Pingxi has been in Yunnan for a long time and has many party members. The princess may not be safe in Yunnan. But this is Guangxi, not the place where King Pingxi guards. If King Pingxi leads his troops across the border, it will be an open rebellion. "
Xiang Yan was a little dissatisfied and thought: "Why do you conclude that Wu Sangui dare not rebel?" Ruidong said again: "If Eunuch Xiang is worried, why don't you take someone to escort the princess back to Beijing, and I will go back to Kunming to arrest Chen Yuanyuan. Seeing that Ruidong had decided to leave, Xiang Yan had to say: "Okay!"
Xiang Yan has given up hope of capturing Chen Yuanyuan and getting the antidote to Shenlong Island. Based on Ruidong's story, Wu Sangui's reaction, and the fact that Lu Gaoxuan and Fat Toutuo disappeared out of thin air, Xiang Yan has always suspected that Chen Yuanyuan was taken away by Lu Gaoxuan and Fat Toutuo. What's the use of going to Kunming at this time?
However, Lu Gaoxuan and Fat Tou Tuo took Chen Yuanyuan to Shenlong Island without informing him. It was clear that they already knew all about him and did not want to have any contact with him to avoid being implicated by him. Those two people will definitely not tell their merits to Master Hong after they return to the island. However, they do not know the way to Shenlong Island and cannot return to the island to tell their merits by themselves. Naturally, they cannot count on the antidote. In despair, Xiang Yan decided to hang out with Princess Jianning for a few months and wait for the poison to take effect before committing suicide!
When Xiang Yan was sleeping at night, he suddenly heard someone shouting: "There is an assassin! There is an assassin!" Another person shouted: "Protect the princess quickly." Xiang Yan was shocked: "We will encounter assassins when we live in the Yamen? "Xiang Yan got dressed and took a look by the window. He saw many disheveled guards and government servants running towards Princess Jianning's residence. Behind the guards and government officials, there were many gangsters in black who were killing people and setting fires.
Xiang Yan hurriedly ran to Princess Jianning's residence. After all, "a couple's love lasts a hundred days". Xiang Yan and Princess Jianning have been married for many days, and they still have some feelings for each other. The gangsters were coming fiercely now, and he didn't know how the princess was doing, so Xiang Yan was still a little worried.
When Xiang Yan rushed outside Princess Jianning's door, the door opened and Xiang Yan was pulled into the room by the maid next to Princess Jianning. The rest of the guards and servants stood outside the door to fight with the black-clothed gangsters. Princess Jianning and Xiang Yan stood at the window watching the guards and government servants fighting with the gangsters. Looking at the bloody scene, Xiang Yan's face turned pale and his legs were weak, but Princess Jianning became more and more excited as she watched.
Princess Jianning said: "Xiao Xiangzi, who do you think will win?" Xiang Yan smiled bitterly and said: "It's best if the guards win. If the gangsters win, we will be miserable." Princess Jianning snorted, dissatisfied. He said: "These guards are really useless. Even though there are many of them, they were beaten to pieces by those gangsters. After we return to the capital, I have to ask my brother the emperor to drive them all away and replace them with a group of guards who can fight." "Xiang Yan didn't dare to answer.
The defense line of the guards and government officials was in danger, and they saw the gangsters rushing to the window. At the critical moment, the prefect of Si'en Prefecture led people to come for reinforcements, and then the gangsters were driven back. The yamen was in a mess, and everyone was filled with anger and remained silent.
