The story of the rich and the young being tricked into farming

Chen Mengchu walked in the front with the palace lantern, Cheng Xiaofeng was at the end, and Ye Xiaozhou was naturally caught in the middle.

The corridor is narrow and damp. Ye Xiaozhou's ears are filled with the sound of clothes rubbing against the wall and his own panting. I don't know how long he has been walking forward. Ye Xiaozhou gradually begins to feel a little tight in his chest and short of breath. He wants to leave this oppressive corridor immediately. .

"Can you slow down? I'm a little out of breath..." Ye Xiaozhou asked suddenly, his words were a little vague when he exhaled.

Cheng Xiaofeng's voice was much calmer than his, and his breath and breath were not at all chaotic: "Now the situation is urgent, young master can bear it as much as he can."

Chen Mengchu, who was walking in the front, slowed down a little, and then said with panting: "When my mother was pregnant with my brother, her body was weaker than before—cousin, let's not be too hasty, we are still young masters." Tighten your body."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Xiaofeng's short voice: "There is movement from above."

Chen Mengchu and Ye Xiaozhou were silent at the same time, and their footsteps paused in tandem.

Then they heard the faint sound of footsteps coming from above. The footsteps sounded uniform, and they reckoned it was like a group of well-trained troops.

Ye Xiaozhou's eyes trembled slightly, and he wanted to look back subconsciously, but because the corridor was too narrow, he could only slightly tilt his head to look at Cheng Xiaofeng: "Then... shall we... go out here today?"

"Your Highness has ordered you to escort the young master out of the palace tonight and rush to the Huguo Temple. If the people outside can't find the young master, they will definitely dig this Ningwang's mansion three feet into the ground. If we were still hiding in this dungeon I'm afraid they will catch a turtle in their hands." Cheng Xiaofeng replied honestly.

Then he went forward and called out in a calm manner: "Mengchu, keep going."

Ye Xiaozhou was gently pushed forward by him, but his eyes and brows became tighter and tighter. A bit of doubt appeared on his face, and he said in a low voice: "This is unreasonable..."

He paused for a moment, and then continued: "If Jing Min really wanted me to leave the palace safely, he would have let us leave before dark, why must it be delayed until now?"

Cheng Xiaofeng was taken aback for a moment, and then replied calmly: "Perhaps someone has been watching Prince Ning's mansion. The prince is afraid that he will be watched by others if he sends the young master away rashly. At that time, he is afraid that someone will attack the young master." , and then threaten the prince with you."

"But now that General Fuyuan has led troops to surround the palace, can we escape easily?" Ye Xiaozhou still couldn't understand.

But at this point, he suddenly thought of a possibility - King Ning might not have thought of letting him escape under the nose of the general from the very beginning.

So, so... what on earth was he thinking?

Cheng Xiaofeng said: "Forgive me for not being able to solve the young master's doubts, the prince only ordered the servants to escort you out of the mansion, and the servants next to you don't know anything about it."

"Forget it." Ye Xiaozhou lowered his eyes and kept walking.

If Jing Min really wanted him to die, he wouldn't be able to live today, so why would he harm himself by beating around the bush like this?

The three of them soon approached the exit, and vaguely heard someone talking outside the carport.

"You all leave the palace first, and we will take over here."

Ye Xiaozhou listened carefully, and found that the man who spoke had a rough voice with a slightly heavy accent. He had quite an impression of this voice, but he didn't remember who the owner of this voice was.

The other voice is also bold and unrestrained, it sounds like a roar, and the voice is quite hoarse: "But just now, the general ordered us to find Princess Ning. It is a serious crime against the Nine Clans, so naturally we can't let him escape alone."

"What I have followed is the will of the Holy One," he said, "Brothers, please rest assured, Princess Ning will be found by us, and I will never ask my brothers to be disciplined by the general."

When Ye Xiaozhou heard this, his eyes suddenly widened, and he said in surprise: "This person is Lan She..."

Seeing that the faces of those two people were still stunned, Ye Xiaozhou lowered his voice and explained: "He is the third son of the wolf king, and he has a group of wolf guards under him, who belong to the emperor."

Cheng Xiaofeng asked: "How did the young master know him?"

"It won't be clear for a while," Ye Xiaozhou said in a low voice, "He used to have some friendship with my father, and he also warned me that the emperor would attack King Ning in the near future, telling me not to panic until then. Just go to the side gate of the palace, and he will meet me when the time comes—but this is all from his mouth, my father doesn't often mention things outside, so I'm not sure."

"Does the young master think he can be trusted?"

Ye Xiaozhou thought for a moment, then shook his head slightly.

He still remembered what Jing Min said to him before he left - don't trust anyone.

Cheng Xiaofeng nodded: "The risk of seeking help from him is too great. After all, he is the emperor's man. Apart from his friendship with Master Ye, there is no other reason to let the young master go."

"In your opinion, what should we do now?" Chen Mengchu asked eagerly.

With such a big incident happening in the palace, she didn't seem much calmer than Ye Xiaozhou.

Cheng Xiaofeng let out a "hush", and then said with a low voice: "Wait a little longer, listen to the movement above before making a decision."

There was a quarrel in the picture above, and you and I talked on both sides, and it was very noisy.

"Our army only obeys the general's orders, so it's hard to obey."

"Boss, what are you talking to them? It's just a group of foreigners. Luo Jing is in such a mess now, maybe they came to take advantage of troubled waters to lead the troops to make trouble, and dare to use His Majesty's name. I'm really impatient."

"Who the hell are you talking about? We have accepted the imperial decree in a serious manner, and you still want to rebel? You are refusing to retreat, don't you just want to capture Princess Ning to claim credit? But if it ruins His Majesty's good deeds , I am afraid that even if it is meritorious, it is also a demerit!"

"If His Majesty really ordered you, then you should also send the imperial army. What is it to send you direct descendants of the Sirius tribe?"

……

"Stop arguing," Lan She said suddenly, and then he paused, and the next sentence was loud, "Your Majesty's token is here, who has any objection?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was no sound from outside. A group of troops who were clamoring to confront them looked at each other in blank dismay, and had nothing to say for a while.

It was the "boss" who had negotiated with Lan She just now and said in a deep voice: "Since there is a token from the Holy Majesty, it was a misunderstanding just now. I apologize to the third prince on their behalf. They are all warriors who don't know a single word." Rough guy, although he is blunt, he has a good starting point."

Lan She smiled heartily: "It's all for His Majesty's sake, it's always better to be careful."

"The task of apprehending Princess Ning can be entrusted to you, but our army has also been ordered by the general to not leave easily, so I will not leave for now. This can be regarded as adding more manpower to the third prince—what do you think?"

Without any hesitation, Lan She blurted out, "That's naturally good, so I'll have to thank you, brothers."

Cheng Xiaofeng frowned, and after thinking silently for a while, he said slowly: "Since the prince asked the servants to escort you away, the young master, there must be a way out. The best way right now is to wait and see what happens."

Ye Xiaozhou nodded.

There are currently two forces fighting outside. If King Ning leaves them a way out, then one of these two forces must be on their side, but it is still difficult to tell which side to choose.

"General Fuyuan led troops to surround the palace, and he must be on Jing Ling's side," Ye Xiaozhou pondered for a moment, and then continued, "Ke Lan's subordinates are also Jing Ling's people, but he was with us earlier. What I said is not like a lie, I seem to have indeed seen him when I was a child..."

Cheng Xiaofeng leaned sideways on the wall, and said calmly: "I don't think so, but this Lan She is holding Jing Ling's token, which shows that Jing Ling has something important to tell him to do. You, young master, in order to save you, he must fail to complete the task, and with the testimony of General Fuyuan, they certainly cannot escape unscathed."

He paused, then continued: "If Jingling ordered something else, then the risk of him saving you must be greater, needless to say."

"It makes sense," Ye Xiaozhou frowned, "This wolf guard has no one to rely on in Luojing, they can only rely on Jing Ling. If Jing Min becomes the emperor, it will be of no benefit to them."

Why do they do things that are not beneficial?Is it just based on the little friendship he said with Ye Hongfang?

Ye Xiaozhou knows that there must be righteous people in this world, but if you pin your hopes on such illusory feelings, you will fall into the abyss of eternal doom if you are not careful.

He had already understood this in Jing Min.

"This wolf guard can gain a foothold in Luojing, and has been entrenched in the black market for so many years, it must not rely on righteousness." Ye Xiaozhou let out a breath slowly, his eyes darkened, "You are right, I want to It's too shallow."

Chen Mengchu suddenly interjected and asked: "Then we are going to choose General Fuyuan?"

Ye Xiaozhou shook his head slightly: "What I just said is just a guess in the end, and there will be risks in choosing either side. We might as well just wait here and wait and see what happens. The people standing on our side will definitely come to the door by themselves. Come."

Cheng Xiaofeng smiled lightly, and then said: "The young master has matured a lot in recent days."

"Excellent," Ye Xiaozhou smiled self-deprecatingly, "After staying with King Ning for a long time, even a pig should have some scheming."
