Fingers of crossing

Jiang Ningzui did not move.

The hand pinching her neck was steady and powerful, as cold as iron, and she knew that her life was now in the hands of the owner of this hand.

Seemingly realizing that Jiang Ningzui had woken up, the owner of that hand suddenly withdrew his hand. He moved slowly, and the candles in the room were lit up.

"King Wu came to visit late at night, why didn't he ask someone to inform him in advance." Jiang Ning got up drunk, and looked at the person standing by the candlelight, with sword-like brows and star-eyed eyes, which seemed to hide eagle-like sharpness in his eyes, which made people daunting. "Isn't it rude to break into my bedroom like this?"

King Wu didn't speak or move, he just watched Jiang Ningzui get up and straighten his loose clothes, until Jiang Ningzui got out of bed, he said coldly: "I heard that the eldest princess went out of the general's mansion during the day , has not returned to the palace so far, and the servants who followed her have also disappeared, the prince heard the news in the palace, and sent people out of the palace overnight to search, but it has been fruitless."

Obviously already had a plan, but at the moment when she heard King Wu's words, her heart still couldn't help but tingle. Jiang Ningzui ignored King Wu's temptation. She walked to the table calmly and poured half of the wine for herself. With a cup of tea, he said disapprovingly: "I have never heard of this, but I would like to thank King Wu for letting me know."

King Wu didn't believe Jiang Ningzui's words, so he turned around and sat down at the table, saying: "You are still with the eldest princess during the day, she is missing, how could you not know."

"King Wu doesn't need to test me." The cold tea was bitter, and the tip of her tongue was numb. Jiang Ningzui put down the teacup, turned her head to look at King Wu, and smiled innocently. "There are some things that you and I know very well, so why bother to reveal them?"

Hearing Jiang Ningzui's outspoken words, King Wu decided not to accompany him any more. His eagle eyes fixed on Jiang Ningzui, and he asked in a deep voice, "Where is she?"

Jiang Ning put down the teacup drunk, seemed to understand what King Wu said, but also seemed to not understand, she shook her head and said, "I don't know where the eldest princess is."

Hearing Jiang Ningzui playing riddles with himself, King Wu's eyes were as cold as a pool of ice. Looking at Jiang Ningzui's eyes, he wanted to tear her into pieces. He repeated word by word: "Bury her in the Where is it?"

This time, Jiang Ningzui could no longer pretend that she didn't understand. She smiled slightly, not afraid of King Wu's cold gaze, and said with a smile: "My sister has nothing to do with King Wu when she is alive. Naturally, there is no need for King Wu to worry about it."

"Is it on that mountain?" King Wu stood up, "Is Shuying buried on that mountain by you?"

The shadow of King Wu is like a huge net with nowhere to escape, completely covering Jiang Ningzui under his shadow, raising the teacup indifferently and taking another sip of tea, Jiang Ningzui smiled very lightly Get up, "What's the difference between yes and no? In order to destroy the evidence, the mountain is probably already in a mess. Although the people who set up an ambush on the mountain are the people of King Minnan, but if King Wu passes by now, it just happens to be A scapegoat?"

The footsteps that were just about to be lifted suddenly stopped at this moment, and Wu Wang looked back at Jiang Ningzui in a little shock. Hearing what she meant, Wu Wang could almost conclude that she had already known her Now that she knew about the affair with King Minnan, she must have already guessed that she would come to the General's Mansion to ask her about Jiang Shuying's whereabouts, and she neither hid nor fled. No fear of danger, no fear of life and death.

"King Minnan sent a hundred killers to ambush on the mountain. Even if the eldest princess has the ability to reach the sky, it is impossible to escape this time." It seems that Jiang Ningzui is really indifferent to everything. The King of Wu deliberately said: "Even if the prince's men really follow the trail to find there, it will take two or three hours at the earliest. By then, I'm afraid that as you said, there will be nothing left."

With trembling palms, Jiang Ningzui raised her head to look at King Wu, smiling calmly, exuding a little sense of freedom. "Now that I know everything, next, is King Wu going to get rid of me?"

Turning around and looking at Jiang Ningzui with indifferent eyes, King Wu felt a little different emotion in his heart. He used his fingertips to pick up a strand of long hair beside Jiang Ningzui's cheek, and couldn't tell what it was like for a while. "Jiang Ningzui, sometimes, I really want to open your heart and take a good look. What is hidden in your heart that makes you look so different."

She is so smart that she seems to be able to see through the world, and she can laugh and talk about life and death without restraint, but sometimes she is so stupid that she is so stubborn, and she is in prison for a love.Such a you, are you too smart, or are you really stupid?

The pain in her back was as if a fire was burning, Yan Yilan looked down at the dead bodies lying on the ground, the blood flowed into a thin river, meandering down the rugged mountain road, she heard the sound of orderly footsteps towards her. Walking this way, Yan Yilan wanted to move, but she didn't even have the strength to do so.

The light from the torches made the dark night sky as bright red as blood. Two lines of soldiers stood neatly holding the torches, surrounded by a carriage and drove quickly. Before they could reach Yan Yilan's body, the curtain of the carriage moved first. Suddenly, a man over fifty lifted the curtain and stepped out of the carriage. His eyes were hale and hearty, his clothes were luxurious, and he exuded an awe-inspiring aura. It was King Minnan.

Seeing Yan Yilan, Minnan King showed joy, and said: "The old minister is late, I hope the eldest princess will forgive me."

Yan Yilan smiled, and wanted to bow down to stop him from saluting, but unfortunately her body was aching and weak, so she could only say: "Uncle, don't be too polite."

King Minnan got up and said hastily: "The old minister really deserves to die. He didn't know about the eldest princess leaving the palace, which caused the eldest princess to be disturbed by assassins on the mountain. What is the eldest princess...?"

It seems that only at this time did he realize that Yan Yilan's clothes were completely stained with blood. King Minnan panicked and hurried out of the way in front of him, "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. In case there are assassins lurking in the dark, I also ask the eldest princess to leave with the old minister."

Calmly watching King Minnan doing all the tricks, Yan Yilan smiled, waved her hands and said, "It's just a small injury, Uncle Huang doesn't need to blame himself."

The carriage cannot compare to the luxury of the palace, but it is clean and spacious, and there are many things that should be there. Yan Yilan lost a lot of blood, was very tired, and her consciousness was a little slow and fuzzy. She leaned weakly in the carriage and saw King Minnan looked at her injury with concern, while muttering that he didn't know what to do, she smiled and said, "Uncle Huang, sit down."

With Yan Yilan's permission, King Minnan bent over and sat down, looking out of the window from time to time.

Yan Yilan didn't say anything, she broke the silence and said, "The king of Wu has always had the ambition to rebel, and now his army is stranded outside the palace. According to the uncle, how should this matter be properly resolved?"

King Minnan stared out of the window, his eyes froze, and he replied: "The king of Wu is ambitious, but the old minister has lived outside the palace for many years and dare not lie."

Yan Yilan burst out laughing when she heard the words. Although her voice was a little weak due to her injury, the momentum in her words was still intact. "The emperor's words are wrong. Although you no longer interfere with the political affairs of the court, you are still a veteran in the palace. Naturally, you can't understand. Even if there is no King Wu in this palace, there are still many people who are looking forward to the death of the palace. , but Bengong just doesn’t really want to die at this time, so he had to settle for the next best thing and lure the snake out of the hole.”

Yan Yilan's laughter only made Minan Wang slightly surprised, he bowed his head, and said in shame for a long time: "What the eldest princess said is true, the old minister is stupid."

Staring at Minnan Wang's half-hanging posture, Yan Yilan seemed to be looking at him, but also seemed not to be looking at him, she said: "My father once said that there is nothing in this world that cannot be calculated, including Ben Gong's life, since someone wants to let Ben Gong die, then Ben Gong will give him this opportunity, anyway, it depends on his ability, if he has this ability, Ben Gong will entrust his life to him and will not say much. He doesn't have this ability, so naturally I won't keep him."

King Minnan's downcast gaze sank, and he asked, "What does the eldest princess mean by this?"

Yan Yilan was still smiling slightly, but her long and narrow phoenix eyes revealed a coldness like frost and snow, "King Wu has hoarded soldiers and horses privately in Eastern Chu these years. It's not that I don't know about it, it's just because Yan Sui After the First World War, it was really inappropriate for the country of Yan to launch another war, so I had no choice but to wait and see what happened, and take him down in one fell swoop when the time is right. Now that the king of Wu has marched into the capital, everyone knows his intention to force the palace, and the palace has already They conceived various ways to capture him alive, but unexpectedly he has not moved for a long time."

King Minnan clearly saw the coldness in Yan Yilan's eyes, he couldn't help being slightly stunned, and said calmly: "King Wu is suspicious, insidious and cunning, the eldest princess must be more careful."

"Uncle Huang is right." Yan Yilan sighed for some reason, "But the enemies walking in the open are not scary at all. The scariest thing is those hiding in the dark."

King Minnan's hands were already sweating, but he still pretended to be surprised and raised his head and said, "Could it be that there are still people who want to harm the eldest princess?"

Ignoring King Minnan's words, Yan Yilan's eyes softened unconsciously, and she said to herself: "I am always grateful for the kindness of the emperor's uncle back then. If it wasn't for the emperor's uncle's efforts to help me ascend the throne, I would have I can't live to this day with the prince."

Minnan King didn't know why Yan Yilan suddenly mentioned these old events, he couldn't help hesitating and said: "Dayan is now in good weather, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, these are all thanks to the eldest princess, and the old minister just followed the public opinion and did the right thing. It's just a choice, how dare you claim credit in front of the eldest princess?"

"This is what it should be." Yan Yilan said casually, looking out of the window, with an air of pointing Jiangshan in her expression. "Actually, I already knew that the King of Wu would set up an ambush outside the palace, because in his heart, as long as I got rid of this palace, this beauty would be in his pocket. But before I left the palace, I had already He secretly ordered General Wang to raise troops in Eastern Chu, and handed over the tiger talisman to the crown prince, asking him to dispatch troops in the palace. When the time is right, he can take down King Wu's army stationed in the capital. However, King Wu is still not a fuel-efficient lamp. , will definitely be aware of it, and try every means to escape from the capital, so I plan to force King Wu out of the capital first, and then kill him on the spot."

King Minnan was startled, and secretly clenched his fists.

"Oh." As if thinking of something, Yan Yilan said again: "Of course, just in case, the palace has also sent Zhao Hangquan as a backup. If any rebels try to support King Wu in the capital, they can stop In the future, shoot or kill."

At this moment, the carriage bumped a bit on the road, and with such a tremor, King Minnan's soul was almost knocked out. His face was pale, his lips were tightly pursed and he said nothing, but his eyes still did not forget to glance out of the window.

As if she didn't see King Minnan's panic, Yan Yilan leaned against the carriage and closed her eyes, and said in a deep voice after a while: "Uncle Huang's move is extremely stupid and he's looking for his own death." As soon as the words fell , Yan Yilan suddenly raised her head, looked at Minnan Wang's pale face, and said with a smile: "Uncle Huang always knows how to weigh the pros and cons, why is he so old that he does such stupid things with evil plans?"

As soon as the words "conspiracy and misconduct" came out, King Minnan stood up suddenly, and at this moment the carriage stopped. Such a sudden stagnation caused King Minnan, who stood up suddenly, to almost fall down, only to hear some men rushing outside the carriage. Said: "My lord, something is wrong, we have been surrounded."

When King Minnan heard this, he turned his head and saw that Yan Yilan was still smiling, but that smile was so cold and majestic. The blood-stained white clothes set off her cold smile, like a phoenix bathing in fire, which made people want to surrender at her feet.
