Chapter 128 4 Princes

Although several princes lived in the palace, they all had their own courtyards outside, and the emperor just turned a blind eye.Song Yuxian visited the fourth prince's residence, and the servants brought him to the living room.After a while, the fourth prince came out.

It was also the first time for Song Yuxian to see this fourth prince. This prince was only seventeen years old, with a golden crown and hair, and a handsome face. He was dressed in cloud brocade, with golden silk patterns of auspicious clouds on the cuffs, and some fine pearls on the white jade boots.

These four princes can be worthy of the prince's demeanor. They don't look like Xiaowu. Even if they become princes, they still try their best to dress themselves up as bandits, but they talk like ordinary people in the market.

"Cao Min pays homage to the fourth prince." Song Yuxian saluted.

Of course the fourth prince knew which side he was from. He had already found out the details of several people in the assassination the day before yesterday, and only one person was not found out, that is the assassin who appeared out of thin air and disrupted the rules of the people.None of these Jianghu people are fuel-efficient lamps, and all of them are desperate.

"You don't have to be polite, please sit down."

With a wave of the fourth prince's hand, Song Yuxian walked over and sat down.The fourth prince also sat on the grand teacher's chair carved with chicken wing wood, his sitting posture was impeccable, without any slack.

"I don't know why your Excellency is visiting?" the Fourth Prince asked.

Song Yuxian said again, "Caomin is here to thank the Fourth Prince for saving his life."

The fourth prince didn't know what he was talking about, and frowned, "What?"

Song Yuxian was just trying to hold back the fourth prince so that he could relax his vigilance so that Qiu Xiaofeng could visit the fourth prince's house. Now this lie can only be made up no matter how inappropriate it is.

Song Yuxian said again, "That day in Liuyang, I was almost killed. It was the fourth prince who sent people to rescue me, so I was able to save my life."

Although these four princes were not upright, they were kind in nature and would not see innocent people die.There were many people who went to Liuyang City that day, including the fourth prince, Xiao Wu, Su Qingshou, and even the emperor came to Weifu for a private visit.Qiu Xiaofeng was so beautiful that the leader of the martial arts circle came to congratulate him once he ascended.

The fourth prince also remembered the person he saved back then, but he can't remember the appearance of that person clearly. If he had known it was Song Yuxian, he shouldn't have acted. Let him fend for himself and save him future worries.

"No need to say thanks."

When Song Yuxian heard him say the words "no thanks", he knew in his heart that he had been fooled, so he made up this number, saying that he wanted to repay his life-saving grace.

Qiu Xiaofeng rushed into the fourth prince's residence all the way, but most of the guards in the fourth prince's residence were martial arts masters, and they were heavily guarded so it was not easy to attack.Qiu Xiaofeng hid behind the tree, and saw the guards walking hurriedly, with blood stains under their feet, and there were only a few spots on the mud floor, if they were not brought out of the cell, they had been to the kitchen.

Qiu Xiaofeng followed closely, and sure enough, he saw him stop outside a room.These prison cells should all be underground, dark and damp, and not easy to be found.Qiu Xiaofeng followed closely, and then observed the remote place for a while, and found that there was a waist card required to enter and exit here, it was difficult to fool the guard's eyes, it would be better to startle the snake.

Qiu Xiaofeng could only wait until someone came out and walked to a remote corner, knocked him out with one blow, and dragged him behind the trees in the flower garden to cover him up.The guard asked, "Who are you?"

Qiu Xiaofeng said, "My lord asked me to come back and get something."

"what?"

"I'm sorry to inform you."

The guard looked at it for a while, probably the person he knocked out was really an important person, the guard didn't want to offend him, so he could only get out of the way.Qiu Xiaofeng put the badge in his sleeve and entered the cell.The cell is not big, but it can accommodate about [-] people. Qiu Xiaofeng saw the guards coming in and out, all covered in blood.Qiu Xiaofeng quickly walked around the cell, but did not see Yue Ci's shadow.

Is there some secret place in this cell that has not been discovered?

Qiu Xiaofeng stayed in the cell for a while, but didn't find anything strange, it only meant that Yue Ci should be arranged elsewhere.

Qiu Xiaofeng turned around and was about to leave, but when he got to the exit, he was stopped by someone. The guard asked, "Which adult are you talking about?"

Qiu Xiaofeng didn't hear clearly what the guards called that lord just now, and just wanted to make up a random one to see if he could pass the test.Just when he was about to blurt out a few words, Qiu Xiaofeng thought of another person, and felt that his words might have more weight.

"I'm talking about Master Xiao, of course."

When the guard heard about Master Xiao, he appeared out of nowhere, and suddenly the person next to him hurriedly said, "So it's Master Xiao's subordinates, how offending you are."

After the two of them finished speaking, they let them go, and Qiu Xiaofeng quickly changed into his clothes and wandered around the rest of the mansion for a while.It's just that every part of this courtyard is very dignified, and there is no place for Tibetans to be seen.Could it be that Song Yuxian's deduction was wrong, and Yue Ci was not hidden here?

Qiu Xiaofeng went to the backyard again, and there were only some servants in the backyard, not a single master.The four princes heard that they already had a concubine, and they only heard the rumors that they respected each other like guests. The concubine was the daughter of the crown prince Taibao, with a virtuous character and a beautiful appearance.

Qiu Xiaofeng hurriedly slipped out of the door again with lightness kung fu.

Song Yuxian heard three thrushes outside, and knew that Qiu Xiaofeng had escaped, so he also found a pretense to slip away.

The fourth prince suddenly felt a little strange when he heard the thrush beeping three times, and seeing Song Yuxian slipping away so fast, he became even more suspicious, so he hurriedly sent someone to question him.As soon as I heard that someone was pretending to be Xiao Li's subordinate, I knew what their plan was. Xiao Li was an imperial guard in the palace and would not go back to the mansion without authorization. These people also knew that Xiao Li was his confidant, so they must only aim at it. The Snitch came.

After a long time, someone found the body behind the tree.

"Go and see Yueci."

The subordinate reported back in a panic, saying that Yue Ci had disappeared and had obviously been rescued.

If it weren't for the fact that this Yueci is still useful, he would have broken his hamstring long ago and made him unable to walk again, let alone jump over the wall.Make him the world's number one snitch and become the world's number one crippled thief.

"How did he run away?"

The subordinate's forehead was already covered with thin sweat, fearing that the fourth prince would be punished, he said, "Just now the assassin wandered around in the cell for a while, which attracted the attention of the jailer, and he neglected to guard the Snitch, and the Snitch took the opportunity to trick him." The guards wounded him and unlocked him, and fled, escaped..."

Yue Ci had already suffered a lot of injuries under Su Qingshou's hands, and he didn't have the corner of his eye to be tortured in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.He still didn't dare to take it lightly, and locked Yue Ci tightly, and there was another dark room in that cell specially used to detain him.

How could he escape?

The two of them returned to the inn, feeling even more uncertain. Yue Ci was not in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, nor was he in the fourth prince's mansion. Where was it then?

If he thought about it more cruelly, he might have already been killed, and the chess record on his body had already been searched and destroyed by someone.

Song Yuxian was very anxious, but he couldn't think of a way.

At the moment when she was disheartened, Yue Ci came back suddenly, and she still fell from the roof.Qiu Xiaofeng was afraid that he was cheating, so he quickly went up to grab his arm and put him on the ground, asking, "Who are you?"

Song Yuxian hurriedly touched Yueci's face, but he couldn't find any clear outlines, so he pinched his face again, and said, "It's not a disguise."

Yue Ci fell to the ground and vomited a mouthful of blood. His clothes were already wet with blood. He struggled to take out a wax-sealed book from his arms, slapped it on the table, and said, "When did I ever fail..."

Song Yuxian hurriedly helped him to the bed to lie down, and then asked someone to fetch a basin of hot water to wash the wound on his body first, and then bandaged him with some ointment.Yue Ci has already passed out, and the high fever on his forehead persists. It seems that he can only wait for a doctor to come over tomorrow to treat his injuries.

People from Baishoumen have been given the handle outside the inn, if anyone chases them, they will immediately lead them away from here.

On the second day, when the sky was slightly exposed, Qiu Xiaofeng looked on the bed and found that Yue Ci had disappeared.Where can Yue Ci go if he is seriously injured?However, Qiu Xiaofeng discovered that there was a note left on the table, which said, "Just leave now, there will be no future".

The handwriting didn't look like it was written in a panic, it should have been prepared.The book was restored to its original form and placed on the table.

Qiu Xiaofeng remembered what Yue Ci said, "I'll help you one last time".

In order to help this last time, Yue Ci suffered all kinds of tortures, and in the end she just left quietly like this, and she really fulfilled the last covenant.Qiu Xiaofeng felt that he was a little sorry for him, and made him suffer so much for nothing.Nothing in the house had been touched, and the windows showed no signs of being pulled open.

Qiu Xiaofeng searched for a long time in the cabinet and under the bed, and found that Yue Ci had really left, and it was very likely that he would never come back again.

He blows here and there like a gust of wind, and no one can predict his intentions.

He is most afraid of trouble, and he doesn't want to do anything that is troublesome.Ever since meeting Qiu Xiaofeng, Yue Ci has never been out of trouble for a single day. Ever since he lost the reward order, he has fallen into a cage step by step.

In the past, when the emperor hunted him down, few people dared to expose his reward order, so he was considered at ease, even if he met, no one would recognize him.Who knew that Qiu Xiaofeng had only been with him for a few days, and the whole world knew that he was a snitch.

Qiu Xiaofeng pushed open the window, and the breeze rushed towards her face, which was a bit cool.The fragrance of gardenia flickers and disappears, disappearing in an instant.Qiu Xiaofeng touched his nose, then turned around and sat on the chair, studying the chess record.

Song Yuxian pushed the door open and saw that Yueci was gone, so he hurriedly asked Qiu Xiaofeng, "Where is Yueci?"

"gone."

"You won't stop him?"

"I'm still sleeping, how can I stop it?"

Song Yuxian could only shake his head and sigh again, thinking that Qiu Xiaofeng was the worst at caring for others, the patient was lying on the bed and sleeping to death, he slept worse than the patient.

It would be pitiful for anyone to spend their whole life with Qiu Xiaofeng.

That demon boss can be regarded as saving the common people.

"What do you think is different about this book?" Qiu Xiaofeng asked.

Song Yuxian picked it up and flipped through it, but he couldn't find anything different about it. What was written on it were just some basic methods and routines for playing chess, and there was no difference.Song Yuxian reassembled those words again, and the reading was not smooth at all. Even if it was submitted to the emperor, the emperor would not do anything to Su Qingshou without solid evidence.

There was no way, the two of them could only take this thing back to the main rudder, so as to find out the reason.

Ruan Xihe happened to be in the mansion again, and seeing them come back with the legendary chess record, he couldn't help being curious.This chess record has repeatedly caused uproar in the Jianghu, causing many people to sacrifice their lives for it.Now it is actually in my own hands, I really have a kind of emotion that the vicissitudes of the sun and the moon cannot bear to hear.

This chess record has turned yellow, and although some of the gray on it has been rubbed off, it can still be seen that it has not been read by anyone on weekdays.Probably in the palace, it is also at the bottom of the box.

The words "Nine Springs Yipu" are written in regular script on the cover of the blue background, which is very regular and ordinary.

"Where is the book hiding something?"

Ruan Xihe flipped through the book a few times, but felt that the pages of this book were much thicker than ordinary pages, so he pinched it with his hands, and pulled a page off with a "tearing" sound.

Song Yuxian was startled, "Why are you tearing up the book?"

Ruan Xihe took out a silver needle and opened it along the gaps in the pages. The page was actually sandwiched by two layers. When the page was torn apart, the letter hidden inside was immediately revealed.

Ruan Xihe opened the letter, and it really was the communication between the Chaoye Villa and Qi's family, and Su Qingshou's name was also mentioned in it, and it described in detail how to overthrow the prince, etc., the eyes and ears couldn't bear to hear.

As soon as the thing was opened, Song Yuxian also quickly took out the other envelopes hidden in the pages of the book, and gradually figured out what happened back then.

The crown prince is wise, seeing Su Qingshou's treacherous officials in power, he opposes him everywhere.Naturally, Su Qingshou couldn't make him feel better, even the crown prince tried to find a way to bring him down.Even though this crown prince is his own sister's son, he still won't let it go.

He sent Qi's family to arrange people in Sitiantai, who created the theory of astrology, and gradually caused the prince to die unexpectedly.However, the prince had helped Qi's family members in the past, so that generations of Qi's family could enter Qingfeng Academy to study. Qi's family couldn't bear to see the prince die, but the whole family was held in the hands of Su Xiang, so they could only obey orders.

Qi's family was in trouble day and night, and finally thought of such a way to hide the letter by the emperor's side.

Su Qingshou was quite ambitious, and only Lord An Guo could contend against him in the court. Although he also had military power in his hands, he had never been on a battlefield after all, and his hearts were not in the same league. He was [-]% worse than Si Lingkai.He recharged his energy and stored up his energy, he just wanted to find a puppet among the princes to help him to the throne first, and then decide to usurp the throne in the future.

"The emperor's life, it seems, is really going to be exhausted."

Although the emperor said he knew martial arts, no one could hurt him for the time being, but if the three provinces and six ministries did not submit to him, but instead vassalized others, the emperor naturally had no choice but to abdicate.

The emperor ascended the throne and secretly poisoned King Yuyang. You Yuanjian left the palace angrily, telling him to take care of himself.Such abuse of people's hearts cannot make the world obey.
