Chapter 100 Asking for help from King Lanling
"Sister--"
Seeing Xiao Jinyu and Fenghuang follow King Shixing's guard of honor, Xiao Ruoling was so anxious that she could not help but think of the look Xiao Jinyu gave her before leaving, and she seemed to understand something again, and she quickly calmed down her fearful heart.
"I can't panic, I can't panic, sister is waiting for me to find a way to save her!"
"By the way, I'm going to find Uncle Qi, but Uncle Qi has gone to Taicheng now. What should I do? How can I see Uncle Qi?"
Lady Wei, who was standing on the boat, couldn't help twisting her handkerchief and became anxious. When she saw Xiao Ruoling wandering by the Qinhuai River, her face turned pale with anxiety. She jumped off the boat and came closer and shook Xiao Ruoling's wrist.
"Don't be afraid, little lady. You are a smart sister, so you will be fine..."
"But that is King Shiheung, the King of Shiheung who kills without blinking an eye and wantonly insults other people's wives and daughters. No matter how smart or powerful I am, if I go to Prince Shiheung's palace, what good results can I get? Moreover, she was forced to of……"
"I'm going to Taicheng to find Uncle Qi..."
After that, Xiao Ruoling and Youtan ran towards the direction of King Shixing's ceremonial guard just now. After running for a few steps, he felt a little confused. Although Jiankang Palace and Taicheng were the Chaotang, Shangshu Province, Menxia Province, Secret Pavilion and The prince's Yongfu Province and the inner garden of the palace are located, but Xiao Ruoling, the sister-in-law who lives in the inner house, has never been to Taicheng, so where should she go.
"Little lady, Taicheng is so big, where can you find your seventh uncle? In my opinion, it is better to go to Prince Lanling for help..."
"Prince Lanling?"
"Yes, didn't he come to discuss business with your sister today? Since we know each other, this little favor should be able to help. Besides, the Gao family is also famous for being violent, and they use violence to fight violence, which is just right!"
After that, he looked at Xiao Ruoling's confused expression and said: "Hey, you little lady has never traveled far away, so you definitely don't know where Prince Lanling is. Why don't you let me take you there?" Let’s go!”
…
When Lady Wei and Xiao Ruoling rushed to the embassy where King Lanling was, King Lanling was not in the embassy at that time. It is said that Yu Wenzhi, the envoy of the Zhou Kingdom, made an appointment with Yu Wenhui to go to Xinghua Yanyu Tower.
"I'm really anxious. When did your county prince become such an easy person to invite? If I go to the Xinghua Yanyu Tower at this time, my trip will be in vain. If I had known better, I would have just ran back!"
After nagging anxiously and irritably, Mrs. Wei simply borrowed a horse from the Qi knight and ran towards the Xinghua Yanyu Tower, leaving Xiao Ruoling and You Tan in front of the embassy.
After riding a horse, we chose a small road and arrived at the Xinghua Yanyu Tower in a short time.
Madam Wei jumped off her horse, ordered the porter to lead the horse into the stable, rushed directly into her residence in Xinghua Yanyu Building, and asked the steward: "Where is King Lanling now?"
The steward was stunned and immediately replied: "In the Lishe Pavilion, I am playing hut with several envoys from Zhou Dynasty!"
"I'm still playing hut. I won 10,000 taels of silver last time and it wasn't enough!"
The person in charge didn't know why Mrs. Wei was so angry, but she ran towards the Lishe Pavilion in a hurry without saying a word.
At that time, a jam game was being played in the Lishe Pavilion. Yu Wenzhi was holding an arrow and throwing it at the full pot filled with bamboo arrows.
"You said that the little lady was like this that day. With one arrow, a pot full of arrows jumped out, but only her arrows were inserted into the pot. She said that she was back to the beginning?"
"Yes, this is a very fresh way of playing! It's just like that!"
"I didn't expect that this miracle doctor is also a master of archery!"
"Speaking of masters of archery, Chang Gong, Mr. Xie Xiaolang, who saved you at Fahua Temple that day, seems to be a master of archery too? His sleeve arrows killed an assassin and a senior monk in a row! I said Right?"
Yu Wenzhi said, casting his playful and inquiring eyes on Gao Changgong, and asked: "Why didn't you take Mr. Xie Xiaolang out to play today? Even if he likes to be quiet and not active, he doesn't even go out. Bar?"
Gao Changgong smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Yuwen is so interested in me, a staff member, but why? Is it because he killed your people?"
It was originally a joke, but Yu Wenhui's face froze.
Yu Wenzhi just changed his expression slightly, and replied as if he didn't care: "Chang Gong is joking. To Chen Guo, you and I are both guests and envoys of other countries. How dare I say Chen here?" Is the country disrespectful to King Lanling? As for who he killed, I don’t know. Chang Gong should wait for His Majesty Chen to find out the truth!"
"In the case of Fahua Temple, I hope Chang Gong will not be suspicious, so as not to affect the peace of the alliance between the two countries!"
Gao Changgong sneered slightly and said no more. He knew that Zhou Guoyu Wenhu had always wanted to welcome back his mother who was held as a hostage in Qi State. For this reason, he did not hesitate to join forces with the Turks and intended to attack Qi State.
The emperor of Qi, Gao Zhan, was not warlike, but after hearing the news from the spy, he urgently sent him an envoy to form an alliance with Chen.
The secret spy organization of the Zhou State was not inferior to that of the Qi State, so the Zhou State must have found out the purpose of his mission this time.
Therefore, although no one explained this assassination, everyone knew it. It’s just a question of whether it’s necessary to pierce it!
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Chang Gong's skills are extraordinary. Why don't we just ask Chang Gong to die!"
Yu Wenzhi said, reaching out and handing the arrow to Gao Changgong.
Gao Changgong hesitated for a moment and was about to pick it up. At this moment, Mrs. Wei rushed over and panted:
"His Royal Highness Prince Lanling, please go to Prince Shixing's Mansion and rescue that little lady! If you rescue her, I will give you the five thousand taels you won last time right away!"
At this point, he took a few deep breaths.
"Go quickly, I'm afraid if I delay another moment, it will be too late!"
"Also, I borrowed the horse of one of your cavalrymen. The horse is in the stable below..."
Before she could finish her words, Gao Changgong had already strode towards the outside of Lishe Pavilion.
Dugu Shan couldn't help but change his face, and looked at Yu Wenhui and Yu Wenzhi with a little anger.
"Did you deliberately lure Gao Changgong here?"
"Are you plotting against that little lady?"
…
In the Prince's Palace of Shixing, when Xiao Jinyu and Fenghuang entered the main hall of the Palace with Chen Shuling, they saw a woman standing in the hall with her mouth full of cloth and being escorted by two boys.
When he saw the woman's face, Xiao Jinyu's expression changed drastically:
This woman is none other than her aunt Yuan Rujing!
"Aunt Rujing—"
She strode over, and Chen Shuling seemed even more proud, signaling the servant to take out the silk cloth from Yuan Rujing's mouth.
Yuan Rujing cried and shouted: "Ayu, please save my Ayuan, this beast..."
Before he finished speaking, he was slapped by the boy next to him!
At the same time, another old woman walked out of the side hall door with a girl in her arms.
Yuan Rujing struggled even more, crying out A Yuan's name.
It's Ah Yuan!
This girl turned out to be Ah Yuan!
"Chen Shuling, why are you arresting them?" Xiao Jinyu asked sharply.
Chen Shuling laughed loudly, found a comfortable place to sit down, and explained slowly: "My dear lady, you have misunderstood. This is Fan Changshi taking the initiative to offer his wife and daughter to the king." He was exempted from crimes such as colluding with traitors, corruption and perverting the law. I was kind-hearted and accepted it with a smile."
"Speaking of it, it's really a coincidence. You said that the house you called Early Spring Courtyard, the nurse you found was really brave. My people couldn't get in even if they tried several times. Isn't that why Fan Changshi is there? The collusion with Hui Wei, the obscene monk from Tiantai Temple,
As you know, my father has attached great importance to Hui Wei recently. Fan Changshi has gone to Tiantai Temple several times to deliver incense money. It doesn’t matter whether it’s big or small, but I can report it however I want. It could be a crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan, don’t you think?”
"So, in order to protect the family, Fan Changshi gave up his wife and daughter. In fact, I don't like his wife who has faded in beauty, but who made her your aunt?"
Speaking of this, Chen Shuling looked at Xiao Jinyu and laughed even more wildly and unscrupulously.
"Oh, there is a little girl, but she is too young and not interesting, so I will raise her for now!"
"That's enough, don't say any more!"
Xiao Jinyu interrupted his words with a cold voice. She knew that this prince had no integrity or humanity at all, but she couldn't help but feel a little scared after seeing his shameless methods.
"You injured the boy, arrested my aunt, and didn't even spare a little girl. Your goal is nothing but me."
"What will it take? Will you let them go?"
