Princess Yuanxiu

Chapter 182 Unexpected Help

Chang'an, Jing'an Square.

Shiran, the messenger, left, and a look similar to crying and laughing appeared on Du Furi's face, which had always been gentle, but soon calmed down. He thought a little and asked Xi Yan around him, "Has uncle ever contacted Tan Wanlang recently?"

"Of course not." Xi Yan replied without hesitation, "The people sent by your master are obviously nonsense. A Lang and Tan Wanlang have always been money and goods. What's more, A Lang and your master have no hatred. How can they hire Yan Xiaolang to catch up with Zhongnan Mountain to embarrass your master? Besides, what is your identity? Is there no bodyguard around? Although Yan Xiaolangjun is skilled in martial arts, there may not be no capable people around him. What's more, this time, I heard that the saint personally pointed out a unified army to protect your lord!" He said anly, "Besides, others don't know, doesn't Lang Jun know yet? Yan Xiaolangjun and Qiu Sixteen Niang are now involved in the troubles of Chang'an because of Ren Qiu's case. How can A Lang easily be caught by them unless the conditions are agreed? In this eye bone, it will never contact them.

Xi Yan is very sure, "Your lord is obviously looking at Lang Jun. Temperament, blackmailer!" While talking, he even clenched his fist excitedly, as if the noble master could rush up to seek justice for Du Furi if he was in front of him.

Du Furi did not answer his words, but said, "My uncle is in the house at this moment?"

"Alang didn't go out today." Xi Yan said quickly. He thought that Du Furi was going to ask Du Qingtang to solve the trouble caused by this letter.

"Then go and ask, who is the unified army sent by the saint to Zige Peak to protect your lord?" Du Furi only ordered Xi Yan to go. He put away the letter paper with a little laughing. When Xi Yan went out, he frowned slightly and said to himself, "A few days ago, there was a rumor of assassins in the palace, and the holy driver was shocked... Is it related to the green marks on the noble master's hand?"

He recalled that when the yen show came to ask him to write to Zhang Xian and let the latter mediate Meng Poye's life, a green mark on his wrist that he inadvertently found was clearly left when he was vigorously strangled by the man. Although it was a quick glance, Du Furi's arrow skills were amazing, and his eyes were also far better than ordinary people. It has clearly seen that the traces of the green mark are neat, and it is clear that there is no struggle at all when it is strangled - it can also be said that it is powerless to struggle. If the position of the trace appears slightly biased, with the reputation of the princesses of Mengtang, even if the gentleman is like Du Furi, he is afraid that he will immediately avoid his sight. It is not seen, just that position. , is the easiest place to remove the other's joints and hold the pulse at the same time.

If he guessed well, there should be a person who was good at fighting or even assassination. He restrained Princess Yuanxiu's left face to face and originally planned to remove Yuanxiu's joints, but maybe the man considered the delicateness of Jin Zhiyuye and just warned her by pinching her wrist?

When Yuanxiu returned to the Duke's mansion, it was the day before Princess Changyang fell. During that time, the palace was calm and there was no inappropriate news, but this was normal. Princess Changyang was the first princess of Fengchun. Her wedding was also the first happy event of this dynasty after the expiration of the late emperor's filial piety. In this kind of love Besides, even if something happens in the palace, it will definitely be hidden before the wedding.

What's more, it is the Shence Army guarding the Daming Palace. Most of the military power of this forbidden army is in the hands of Qiu Fengxiang. Qiu Fengxiang... Du Furi remembers that after the news of the assassin sneaking in the palace, it seems that the assassin was caught by the people around Qiu Fengxiang and committed suicide on the spot. If this scene is directed and acted by Qiu Fengxiang, then he must have something to do - if Princess Yuanxiu was attacked in the palace before Princess Changyang descended, this matter should not be hidden from Qiu Fengxiang. Now Princess Yuanxiu has left Chang'an and went to the Nanshan courtyard to escape the summer heat. At this time, there were assassins in the palace... Qiu Fengxiang was once in Du Qingtang's hands. He has suffered a great loss, which is also the reason why he has been cautious and low-key, and has been acting flawlessly against Wang Taiqing.

At present, Du Qingtang seems to be an official, and the children of the Du family have been constantly being hit by Fengchun. However, after the death of Emperor Xianzong for three years, Du Qingtang's Yu Wei is still there. Judging from the characterization of Qiu Fengxiang's patience for many years, if he is not sure, he will not take action easily.

If it's a real assassin... Du Furi rubbed his finger ring and shook his head slightly: Impossible.

Meng Tang has indeed declined, but the royal family has always been the royal family. If the Daming Palace is so easy to be mixed in by assassins, the power eunciation that previously disrupted the government will not have taken the emperor to be self-respected and majestic for many years - Guanzhong rich family, who has not raised some dead secret guards in private?

An assassin appeared in the Daming Palace, which even shocked Fengchun. Either the assassin was originally sent by Qiu Fengxiang or he deliberately put it in.

But he doesn't know why he did this?

Du Furi was thinking and was sent to ask Du Qingtang's Xiyan. He happened to come back. Before Du Furi could speak, he couldn't wait to report: "Langjun, A Lang said that the saint was Yuan Beihe, who used to be the guard of the East Palace, to protect the lord. Yuan Beihe chose another 50 elite forbidden soldiers to go with him - although he went It's a separate courtyard, but there is also a sacred palace in Zhongnan Mountain. Although the soldiers stationed next to the palace are not as good as the Lishan Palace, they are also soldiers near Chang'an, so how can you be held hostage so easily?

-Just now, Yu Wenrong knocked on the back door of the Duke of the State of Ying and changed his face, and handed over the princess's handwriting. The servants heard that it was the princess's handwriting. Now the Du Mansion is no better than the previous dynasty. Although he doubted that their whereabouts were strange, he did not dare to ignore it. He had to invite people to enter the door and send the letter back to the Lujian Garden.

Du Fuyi recovered Yuanxiu's reply poem and knew her handwriting. After reading the letter, he was confused. He would invite Wenrong and pick green to Lujian Garden to ask the reason. Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, Du Qingtang invited Tanwan Langyan to enter the Zige Courtyard in Zhongnan Mountain at night, intending to murder Princess Yuanxiu. Now the princess is in danger - Yuan Xiu's letter did not mention Du Qingtang, but said that Zhongnan Mountain was vast and there were many prey. However, Xue was afraid of summer and could not accompany him down the mountain to hunt. He heard that Du also had another courtyard in Zhongnan Mountain. Although it was not on Zige Peak, it was also in Guifeng Mountain. If Du Fu's day was fine in Chang'an, You might as well go to Zhongnan Mountain together so that she can ask for advice.

The attitude of this master and servant is very different, but the intention of both of them is to ask him to go to Zhongnan Mountain. If he thinks more deeply, it is also to let him leave Chang'an City. Du Furi was slightly shocked. If Princess Yuanxiu and Cai Lv said that they are in danger, it is false to ask for help, and the purpose is to let them leave Chang'an. Does this indicate that Du will Recheng nu of Thunder?

Princess Yuanxiu's appreciation of her archery and calligraphy knows well. This dynasty is not only favored by the royal family, but also often interferes in politics. Even in imperial rankings, there are many princesses in the dynasty who will intervene - for example, during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong, Wang Mo A song of Yulun robe was recommended by Xuanzong's beloved daughter as the champion at that time, which is a ready-made example.

Even when Emperor Xianzong was, Du Qingtang was trusted by Emperor Xianzong. At first, it was because Princess Yongshou, that is, today's Xuanhong Yuanjun, had an excellent relationship with Emperor Xianzong, who was the prince at that time. Du Qingtang was mentioned many times in front of Emperor Xianzong. Therefore, Emperor Xianzong paid attention to it and later when he met Du Qingtang, he sent Now the latter is really talented, which has made it a good saying that the Ming monarch of the previous dynasty can meet.

With these elders in front of her, although Princess Yuanxiu is young, her love for talent is the same as her predecessors.

Du Qingtang was the one who persuaded Emperor Xianzong to deal with the Guo family. At that time, Du Furi was still young. If the nobleman cherished his talent and persuaded his brother to leave Chang'an before Du's collapse, it would not be impossible to escape from it...

In an instant, Du Furi's mind turned, but this is not right. Princess Yuanxiu left Chang'an the day after Princess Changyang descended and went to Zhongnan to escape the summer. She didn't even wait for Princess Changyang to return. She seemed to leave in a hurry. Fengchun even sent his trusted army to protect her safety, although Fengchun continued After the throne, she did not shy away from her preference for this sister, but Princess Changyang's descent ceremony was very grand. It was supposed that Yuanxiu would at least wait for Changyang to return to the door and then let her leave. Could it be that Princess Yuanxiu suddenly left Chang'an? It was Fengchun's idea?

"Yuan Beihe? What is this person's temperament and ability? Du Furi asked.

Xi Yan curled the corners of his mouth and said, "This Yuan Beihe is a son of a poor family. He has lost his parents since childhood. He was raised by his sister and was born in the market. A Lang said that he has a generous temperament. Because he does not like reading, his sister pawned his family's belongings and sent him to Songshan to learn art. At the beginning, Emperor Xianzong set up as The prince, because of the vacancy of the guard of the East Palace, chose someone from the imperial army to supplement it. The imperial army was vacant, and he also wanted to recruit new people. At that time, Yuan Beihe's sister happened to leave the cabinet. Yuan Beihe returned from Songshan to Chang'an to marry him. His sister took the opportunity to sign him up. This man had good martial arts skills. After selecting the imperial army, the next year, he went hunting and a servant of the East Palace. Wei was inadvertently injured by his companion Liu Ya. Because of his lameness, he had to replace him. At that time, he was still young. Emperor Xianzong loved his son, so he chose Yuan Beihe, who was innocent and skilled in martial arts, to fill his gap. As soon as this man arrived at the East Palace, he immediately threw himself in today's temper and promoted him again and again. Since he ascended to the throne, he was transferred to the imperial army. With a heavy responsibility! A Lang said that this time to escort your lord to escape the summer heat is to send him a qualification for his daily promotion.

Du Furi listened patiently and then asked, "What is this person's ability except behind him?" Can it be of great use?

"Alang's original words--" Xi Yan made a grimace and smiled, "The son of a poor family is also a person who hates literature and martial arts. He may be a fierce general in troubled times, but his temperament is thick and has lost the momentum of a fierce general. How many years has been like Xiang Ji and Cheng Zhi energy-saving?"

Du Qingtang can be said to cover the sky with one hand in Xianzong. He was powerful. Fengchun was extremely afraid and disgusted by the Empress Dowager Wenhua. With Du Qingtang as a person, he naturally had to stare more at the prince at that time. Since Yuan Beihe is an old man of the East Palace, of course, his details I won't hide it from Du Qingtang.

Du Furi thought for a moment, pulled out a snow-white letterhead from the case, skipped a few lines of the book, blew it dry, sealed it, took a small seal in the case, stamped it under the letterhead, and said to Xi Yan, "Send it to Anyifang."

"To Pei Jialangjun or Zhang Jialangjun?" Du Furi didn't know much about him, but there were two people who lived in Anyifang, that is, Zhang Xian and Pei Zhuo, who went to Guanlan Building on the fifth day to make an appointment. Xi Yan wanted to ask him clear.

"Go to Pei's house and give it to Pei Zhuo. When you go, bring a few more books, tell Pei Zhuo to choose a reliable person, and send this letter to the Zige courtyard in the name of the 24 daughters of the Pei family and hand it over to Yanlang." Du Furi Road.

Xi Yan received the letter but didn't want to go, complaining, "Lang Jun is so good. The last time I was on the Guanlan Building, I was not angry when I was offended by Liu Da in public. In order not to spoil everyone's interest, I even changed my robe and continued to stay. So now even the nobleman feels that Lang Jun is weak and can be bullied. What does the matter of Yan Xiaolangjun have to do with Langjun? Lord, can't you even clean up the people of the market and Tanmaru? You obviously want to drag Langjun into the water!"

"How old are you?" Du Furi smiled and said, "If you want to calculate that your uncle occupies the supreme position now, there is no way to do it now, let alone her?" He shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this lord is really in trouble. Anyway, since you have found me, please help me."

He's tone was light, and he turned his eyes around and said seriously, "Lang Jun, this nobleman, once attracted Wei Bo's son He Yijian. Now although He Yijian will go to Ziqing to celebrate the birthday of Chu Yin, he still remembers your lord. Lang Jun has always been generous, even if what he wants today is not nobleman or not young and beautiful. Girl, that is, a beggar on the roadside, Lang Jun can also help. However, outsiders don't know that Lang Jun's nature is like this. In case He Yijian thinks that Lang Jun is interested in your lord, it will always be a trouble after returning to Chang'an, right?

"He Yijian?" Du Furi shook his head, "Since He Zhifang let him leave Chang'an, it is naturally impossible to let him come back."

His tone was sure, and Xi Yan had to say more. Du Furi continued, "Oh, by the way, the letter is for Yan Lang. Make it clear to Yu Guang, and don't let others dismantle it."

"Ruo Yanda is not in Zige at all?" Xiyan really didn't trust Yuanxiu. In his opinion, Yan Jiuhuai did not leave Chang'an when he was in trouble in the mysterious pavilion. He rushed to the Zige Peak to deal with Yuanxiu. What's more, no matter how high Yan Jiuhuai's martial arts skills are, it's enough to assassinate officials. It's not so easy to attack the royal family.

Du Furi just smiled and said, "The assassin appeared in the palace a few days ago, so you can know the reason."
