If Zhou Kuo hadn't met that person by chance, there would be nothing to add up.
But the people from Dali Temple were discussing the remnants of the Li family just now, and in the next moment they were standing with Xie Zhiyun again.
What does this mean?
Is the plan mentioned by Xie Zhiyun related to Li Piao?
It happened that Chunhua came back at this time, much more relaxed than before: "The prince has mobilized the imperial staff and went to His Majesty. Yu Mian, the minister of Dali Temple, is also rushing to verify whether Li Piao's absconding is true."
"No, there is no need to investigate Li Piao's absconding. Now I suspect there is another connection between it."
Xie Zhiyun would not have met the guard from Dali Temple by such a coincidence. What was their plan?
Regicide?
Is it possible that by taking advantage of spring hunting, it can't be done openly and honestly?
But it shouldn't be. If Xie Zhiyun was so extreme, why would he bother to send Xie Qingyi into the palace?
"Prepare the horse," Cheng Ning thought more and more wrongly, and said sternly: "Prepare the horse!"
Seeing her suddenly rushing out excitedly, Zhou Kuo and Chunhua both changed their expressions: "What's wrong, empress? There are guards here. The hunting place is an important royal area. Even if Li Piao really absconds, she doesn't have that much ability!" "
Li Piao doesn't have this ability, but Xie Zhiyun does!
Cheng Ning ignored the obstruction and happened to meet a row of patrolling guards riding over. When he saw Cheng Ning, he slowed down.
"Concubine Xi, this -"
Cheng Ning grabbed the man and pulled him off the horse regardless of the pain in his wrist: "Borrow the horse!"
Then she moved quickly and naturally, got on the horse with one kick, clamped the horse's belly, unsheathed a sharp blade, and rushed out.
"drive--!"
Chunhua was so shocked that she had no time to stop her: "Your Majesty!"
"W-what's going on?" The guard who was dragged off the ground and knocked on his back couldn't react and was dumbfounded: "What happened??"
"Why don't you hurry up and ask your people to catch up! I'm afraid something is going to happen to His Majesty. Your Majesty is not in good health, so hurry up and catch up!!"
As soon as the captain of the guard heard that something was going to happen to Wei Yanzhou, he didn't dare to delay. He waved his hand: "Chase! Chase after him!"
Chunhua had no idea what happened after she left, but the situation was clearly very dangerous now, and she couldn't ride a horse, so she didn't know what to do.
Cheng Ning's horse kicked up a cloud of dust and rushed deep into the dense forest.
The red figure flashed past, and many people took a bite of the dust. When they saw it was Cheng Ning, they couldn't hide their surprise.
"Concubine Xi? What's wrong with Concubine Xi?"
"The emperor also went there just now. What happened to His Majesty?"
"All parties are ordered to go and have a look!"
Xie Zhiyun was drinking tea in the camp and waiting for the success of the plan.
Hearing the commotion, he raised the curtain and came out, and heard Cheng Ning hurrying to Wei Yanzhou's place.
He thought about it and felt something was wrong.
The confidant walked up to him, bowed and said, "Master Xiang, Concubine Xi—"
"That guy from Dali Temple is not careful in his actions. I suspect Cheng Ning is aware of it, but we must not let her lead the matter to us. Do you know what to do?"
A hint of sinisterness flashed in his confidant's eyes: "I understand, Prime Minister must not have anything to do with Dali Temple."
"Go do it."
After his confidant left, Xie Zhiyun stroked his beard in an old-fashioned way, with a look of pride in his eyes.
With an arrow on the string, it doesn't matter how fast your Cheng Ning horse runs.
"drive--!"
It had been so long since I had ridden a horse that my legs were hurting me so much and my wrists were so painful.
But Cheng Ning couldn't stop. As long as she thought that Wei Yanzhou might be in danger, her mind would go blank.
She couldn't even tell what she was feeling.
There are thousands of guards in Wei Yanzhou. Even if Li Piao really comes, they may not be able to touch him at all.
What are you nervous about, Cheng Ning?
Why are you so anxious that you rush here without even checking it?
There were obviously other details to explain, but when Xie Zhiyun saw her making such a big show of things, even if he had a plan, he would try to get him out.
Too impulsive.
Impulsive people are not like Cheng Ning.
But Cheng Ning couldn't stop. She was always keen on the terrain and the distribution of guards. She could almost guess where Wei Yanzhou was at the moment.
Fu Youting was very puzzled today.
The reason is that no matter where he goes, Wei Yanzhou will appear and disappear around him.
Shoot the prey he has targeted first.
He endured it several times, thinking that there were no more than three times. If it happened more than three times, it would not be a coincidence, but intentional.
But seven times in a row, when he was about to take another wild boar into his bag, there was a whoosh, and another arrow was one step faster than him, hitting the wild boar's head.
Xie Qingyi rode the pony and clapped her hands with a smile: "Your Majesty is so good at archery! He was hit again!"
Fu Youting couldn't bear it anymore and almost threw away the bow and arrow in his hand. He glared at Wei Yanzhou: "Your Majesty, this mountain is so big! What do you mean by insisting on grabbing it from me?"
"Snatched it from you?" Wei Yanzhou pulled out an arrow from the quiver and sneered disdainfully: "This wild boar has the words Fu Youting written on it?"
Not really, but his behavior was very deliberate!
Fu Youting laughed angrily: "Then I'll go east, Your Majesty, you can do whatever you want!"
"What a coincidence, I'm heading east as well." Wei Yanzhou looked at Xie Qingyi: "I heard there are golden pheasants in the east. It would be nice to hunt one for my beloved concubine to use as a shuttlecock."
Xie Qingyi was overjoyed: "Then thank your Majesty first."
After a whole morning of hunting, she became more and more attracted to Wei Yanzhou.
Such a good appearance is rare, but Wei Yanzhou still hits every target when shooting arrows.
Passing by Fu Youting, looking at his sallow complexion, Xie Qingyi smiled and said: "General Fu may have no hope of defeating Concubine Xi, because he is far behind His Majesty."
"Concubine Hui, there is no need to be too happy. Since you are going to the east, the east will be given to you."
Fu Youting felt that he was flexible enough, but he couldn't help laughing: "But no matter whether he wins or loses, Concubine Xi is betting on either Nan Entropy or Wei Chen, but she has never considered His Majesty."
Wei Yanzhou was already angry about this, so he immediately darkened his face: "Do you really think you can beat me?"
It was almost noon, and the guards had just come to report. It was almost time to pack up and go back to camp to compete again in the afternoon.
Fu Youting was arrogant: "Your Majesty, do you dare to stay away from me?"
After all, he is also a victorious general. Could it be possible that he really lost to Wei Yanzhou?
Shame on you.
Not to mention that he was originally dissatisfied with Wei Yanzhou, and Cheng Ning was betting on him, so of course he didn't want Cheng Ning to lose.
"Okay, I'll go to the east, you go to the west, one hour will be the boundary, let's see who laughs last."
Fu Youting immediately rode his horse and headed west.
Seeing that the person was gone, Xie Qingyi looked in all directions. The sky was clear and clear in the distance, and guards could be vaguely seen everywhere.
Xie Zhiyun told her that among these guards were people placed by the Xie family.
When the sun reaches its highest point, it's time to take action.
The first arrow will be shot from the southwest direction——
"Are you tired?" Wei Yanzhou saw that she stopped where she was and said, "If you are tired, someone will take you back."
He regretted it.
