Chapter 44: Running
The second prince Zhu Hong and the seventh prince Zhu Yu are not very good with the eldest prince Zhu Qing. This time, after the eldest prince Zhu Qing lost the earthen elixir that the fifth prince Zhu Bo made, they searched the palace. The assassin did not hold one, which made the entire palace angry and resentful.
Especially the bedrooms of the second prince Zhu Hong and the seventh prince Zhu Yu were searched by the people sent by the eldest prince Zhu Qing. The eldest prince Zhu Qing obviously focused on them.
The second prince Zhu Hong and the seventh prince Zhu Yu were so angry that they had no place to do it. Of course, they had to take this opportunity to make a fuss and completely isolate the eldest prince Zhu Qing from the princesses.
"I made an appointment with someone today. I have something important to go out! If I don't let me open, I will have to break through!" The second prince shouted angrily.
The seventh prince Zhu Yu followed the second prince with a smile, not taking the initiative to stand up.
The second prince Zhu Hong was born with five big and three thick. His martial arts cultivation was not much different from that of the eldest prince. He was also a strong man at the Earth Yuan level. He liked to make friends with powerful people from various sects on Obi Island. The martial Emperor Zhu Xi admired him very much and said that his martial arts cultivation would be the best among all princes in the future.
The second prince and the seventh prince also went to the auction during the day. The eldest prince was a little suspicious at the time. The price of a land Yuan Dan worth 80,000 taels must have been the ones that were done by the second prince and the seventh prince.
The second prince Zhu Hong is also a strong competitor to the crown prince's legitimate throne, so the primary suspect of the eldest prince's stolen Diyuan Dan this time is him. According to the eldest prince's speculation, the second prince did not take pictures of Diyuan Dan during the day, and most of them were jealous. The assassins last night were mostly done by the sect masters found by the second prince, with the purpose of stealing the Diyuan Dan he had taken to the fifth prince and giving it to the seventh prince to win over and make friends.
The seventh prince Zhu Yu is both literary and polite, and has a very high IQ. He showed his superb wisdom when he was very young and was extremely humble in dealing with others. He was deeply loved by the current emperor Zhu Xi. He called him the smartest, most benevolent among all princes, and the most able to understand the mystery of the emperor's mind.
At present, the 19-year-old seventh prince Zhu Yu's martial arts cultivation has reached the fifth level of the Human Yuan level, and he also has the ability to compete for the throne. In terms of martial arts cultivation, he can reach the Earth Yuan level in less than two years. In addition, he has a good relationship with the second prince, so he is also one of the key suspects in the Great Prince's theft of the Earth Yuan Dan.
"The eldest prince has an order that the princes and princesses of each palace are prohibited from going out before the emperor returns to the palace." The commanders of the five battalions of the Imperial Guard were guarding the palace gate themselves and constantly explaining to the princes and princesses.
"Just! He is the prince, am I not the prince? Or do you suspect that this palace is an assassin?" The second prince's mood became more and more intense.
As the commander of the Imperial Guard, Fang Ji hid back to the mansion with illness. The five commanders of the Imperial Guard battalions under him were just for the sake of difficulties. The commander Fang Ji was not there, and the eldest prince had an order, and the assassin had not caught him. He really did not dare to let him go out easily. Although he was in a difficult situation at this moment, he refused to open the palace gate.
"Go! Open the palace gate for me! I want to see who dares to stop me!" The second prince waved his hand and ordered the little eunuchs who were following the carriage to open the large iron gate of the Forbidden City.
The seventh prince and some eunuchs of the little princes and princesses also rushed up to help open the big iron gate. Of course, Tang Xiao ran over to join in the fun, mingling with a large group of eunuchs, pushing and shoving with the Imperial Army soldiers. The Imperial Army soldiers were not determined enough to guard the gate, but were pushed and shoved by Tang Xiao and others for a while, and then hid on the steps.
Emperor Zhu Xi is not here, commander Fang Ji is not here, and the princes refuse to give in to each other, what can these imperial guards do?
"Second Prince, the palace gate has been opened, we can't explain to the eldest prince!" The five commanders looked embarrassed. Of course, in front of all the princes and princesses, they must make enough tricks to avoid the eldest prince punishing them.
"Just tell him that it was the palace gate that I forced to open! If he wants to find trouble, let him come to me!" The second prince shouted at the five commanders and urged the carriage to quickly rush out of the palace gate.
The seventh prince also bowed to the five commanders and rushed out of the palace gate after the second prince's carriage. Several other princes and princesses rushed out with them. The scene became a little chaotic for a while.
However, these cars were driving out for a short time. They had just passed Gonglong Bridge. A team of Imperial Army soldiers rushed over from the official road of Taijing City on high-headed horses and shouted: "Come to the emperor's oral order! All princes and princesses are not allowed to leave the Forbidden City before the emperor returns to the palace!"
Princess Yitai did not rush out of the palace gate because of guilt. Her carriage was stuck in the palace. When the second prince, the seventh prince and the others were waiting for all the cars returned to the palace, she quickly looked around and found that Tang Xiao was gone, so she felt relieved.
...
After Tang Xiao slipped out of the Forbidden City with the second prince and the seventh prince's carriage, just after crossing Gonglong Bridge, the second prince and the seventh prince's carriage were stopped by the emperor's oral order. Tang Xiao took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him and quickly ran towards the capital of Taijing. Unexpectedly, martial law was in the capital of Taijing, and there was no one near the Forbidden City. Tang Xiao ran like this and immediately attracted the attention of a group of patrol soldiers and shouted and chased him.
Tang Xiao cried out inwardly, it was not easy to use Lei Zhenzi in Taijing City. Explosion would only make things worse and worse. He did not dare to stay. He immediately ran into a nearby alley. But not long after, Tang Xiao was still seriously ischemia and his body was overdrawn, his physical strength dropped rapidly, and his mind began to become blurred. If he ran like this, he would fall into a coma at any time.
Several patrol teams behind him heard the shouts here and chased after him. When Tang Xiao was rushing through the corner of a lane, he ran into a team of marquis's carriages. Several large carriages completely blocked the road. The carriage's flag was written with a big "king".
Several teams of patrol soldiers chasing over came in a moment, and there was no way to escape in front of them. Tang Xiao, who was dizzy, sighed. He finally escaped from the palace, but was blocked here. He was really unwilling to accept it!
Just as Tang Xiao was about to forcibly break through this area, the marquis's car driving curtain in front of him was lifted up, and a young man in white robe poked out half of his body, waved to Tang Xiao to signal him to get in the car. Tang Xiao was a little confused, but he had no choice at this time. He hesitated for half a second before he jumped into the carriage.
"Marty! Have you ever seen a little eunuch escape from here? He may be the assassin's accomplice last night!" The captain of the Royal Guard patrol rushed to the front of the carriage and asked the owner of the carriage loudly.
King Lin of Dingyong Hou lifted the curtain and looked out, with a calm look on his face: "The second prince made an appointment with me to meet here to discuss things. I have never left the carriage. Where did I see any eunuchs and assassins?"
"Sorry, I'm disturbing the marquis!" Several teams of patrol soldiers of the Imperial Guard immediately separated several routes, bypassed the car and searched several nearby alleys.
...
"Why save me?" Tang Xiao looked at the young man in white robe in front of him, and felt a little strange. Zhu Gan had never mentioned that Tang Xiao had a marquis friend, and he was such a young marquis.
Wang Lin, the Dingyong Marquis, was looking at Tang Xiao with interest. Yesterday, he did make an appointment with the second prince Zhu Hong to meet here this morning to discuss things, but in fact, it was because Zi Yue asked him to stay here, with the purpose of waiting to rescue Tiangangxing and escape.
Dingyong Hou asked Ziyue Zhenren who was Tiangangxing. He would not recognize the wrong person when he was waiting. As a result, Ziyue Zhenren just asked him to wait for a little eunuch who fled over in a panic. The man would hit his car in front of his car. Dingyong Hou wanted to ask a few more questions, and Ziyue Zhenren immediately released the six-character mantra, which made Dingyong Hou very depressed.
After rushing over early in the morning, Dingyong Hou was eager to find out the true identity of Tiangangxing. He was looking forward to the reveal of this mysterious mystery over the past few days. However, he never expected that Tiangangxing was actually the young master Tang Xiao and Tang from the Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion!
