The Beloved in the Palm

Chapter 314: Unsuccessful

"What should we do? Mr. Chai fell off the mountain." Someone finally found his voice.

"Take Princess Xuan back first."

"But who should we take her back to?"

"..."

They were in a dilemma.

But one of the young men unconsciously took a step closer to Xue Qingyin.

"Princess." The man had fierce eyebrows and eyes, and he looked like a vicious person.

Xue Qingyin stared at him for a few more times.

Hmm.

He looked familiar for no reason.

"Who are you?" Xue Qingyin asked.

The young man was startled, and a little disappointment flashed across his eyes. It seemed that he didn't expect Xue Qingyin to not remember him at all.

"We..." The others behind the young man were also at a loss.

Who are we?

That's hard to say.

They don't have a name.

"Dark Army." They said.

Chai Peng said they were a dark army waiting to be activated, so let's call them the Dark Army.

Xue Qingyin asked, "Who is your master?"

They uttered three words: "...I don't know."

Xue Qingyin: "..."

"Please ask the princess to get on the sedan first." The young man said in a deep voice.

Xue Qingyin took a step forward.

The young man reached out to help her without thinking, and the others looked at him with wide eyes, thinking that he was very brave!

How dare he help?

This is the emperor's daughter-in-law!

But before the young man's hand came up, Xue Qingyin took another half step back, then tilted her head and re-examined them.

"Princess, please follow us." They said anxiously.

"Hasn't the one who was knocked down the mountain just now seen by the princess? He brought us to pick up the princess!"

Xue Qingyin shook her head: "I have never seen him."

At this time, they couldn't care so much, anyway, they must take the person down the mountain first.

This Princess Xuan represents their glory and wealth.

When everyone was anxious, they also had to follow and surround them.

At this time, a white and gray thing rushed over quickly, blocking Xue Qingyin and the young man.

"What is it?" They said, and looked closely.

The thing grinned, bared its teeth, and a roar came out of its throat.

It was so frightening that people had goose bumps all over their bodies.

"It's a wolf! It's a wolf!" Their voices changed.

"What are you afraid of? It's just one. It's not like we ran into a pack of wolves." Someone inside spoke, and it sounded like a ruthless person.

At this time, the young man in front of Xue Qingyin also pulled out his knife.

"Don't move." Xue Qingyin shouted, squatting down slightly and trying to pick it up like holding a wolf cub when it was young.

But after trying hard, uh, she couldn't hold it.

The main reason was that her belly was against it, so it was not easy to hold it, and it was difficult to bend over.

Xue Qingyin gave up and could only pat the wolf's head: "This is my pet."

After she finished speaking, the wolf also arched forward again, showing a more ferocious expression, trying to intimidate the group of people.

No, what do you raise? You are so delicate and weak, and you raise a wolf?

The eyes of everyone looking at her changed.

"Someone is coming." The young man suddenly spoke.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Qingyin clearly caught some anxiety and panic on the faces of others.

These people are so inexperienced.

Xue Qingyin narrowed her eyes.

The people on the side hurriedly tried to pull Xue Qingyin into the sedan chair.

But they were still a step late.

Another group of people rushed over in a hurry. They were wearing armor and holding swords.

An eagle's cry sounded, and the eagle actually flew back again. It rushed forward with momentum, and the soldiers and generals were behind, unstoppable.

"What should we do?"

"Fight them?"

They lowered their heads and whispered to each other, each of them ready to die.

At this time, Xue Qingyin suddenly asked: "You are here to save me, right?"

They were stunned, not knowing how to answer.

"They are all our own people." Xue Qingyin said lightly, and took two steps outside.

In this way, she was completely exposed outside the cave entrance, and her figure could be seen at a glance even from a few meters away.

Fang Chengzhong saw it first.

"Princess! Princess!" He shouted, his voice changed.

The people behind him also woke up from a dream, rolling and crawling, tears streaming down their faces, shouting hoarsely: "Princess, Princess..."

Xue Qingyin sighed lightly, and her eyes were a little sore.

They must be scared to death, right?

... But they didn't cry so much, they didn't die, but they acted like mourners.

"They are..." someone squeezed out a voice.

"My husband's soldiers. Why? Don't you know him? That's Deputy General Fang Chengzhong." Xue Qingyin said while looking at their expressions.

"By the way, what's your name?" Xue Qingyin asked the young man.

The young man moved his lips: "... Kong Qun."

Xue Qingyin smacked her lips.

Hmm, not only does he look familiar, but he also sounds familiar.

But I can't remember...

After a few words, Fang Chengzhong and others came over.

This dark army looked at Fang Chengzhong and others warily, and Fang Chengzhong also looked at them warily?

The two sides met, and undercurrents surged.

"I'll take the sedan chair." Xue Qingyin pointed.

Fang Chengzhong was stunned: "They..."

"All follow." Xue Qingyin said lightly.

Fang Chengzhong was ashamed: "It's our fault for neglecting to carry a sedan chair up the mountain!"

In fact, they were really sad at that time, and they were really afraid that the princess would die.

"It's okay, let's go, why are you standing there?" Xue Qingyin lifted her skirt, pressed Fang Chengzhong's shoulders, and walked carefully towards the sedan chair.

This move of turning the tables confused the dark army.

They could only follow him down the mountain in a daze.

"Um, Mr. Chai..."

Without Mr. Chai, how could they hand in the task?

Xue Qingyin looked at Fang Chengzhong: "You go."

Fang Chengzhong nodded in understanding, and rushed down the mountain to find Chai Peng.

Chai Peng was also unlucky. When he was thinking about making a great contribution, he was fanned down the mountain by the eagle, and his head hit a big rock.

He was dead.

Fang Chengzhong frowned: "... There is no chance to ask questions."

He did not leave, but first looked through the person's body to see if there was any evidence to prove his identity.

After a while, Fang Chengzhong returned to Xue Qingyin's side and presented something with both hands from outside the sedan chair.

Xue Qingyin didn't ask, she knew it was found from Chai Peng.

She took it and looked...

Hmm? Envelope?

There's a seal on the outside.

It looks familiar.

Xue Qingyin gave it back to Fang Chengzhong, hooked her finger at him, and motioned him to come closer.

Fang Chengzhong said bitterly: "I dare not."

Xue Qingyin: "Hurry up, I have something to tell you."

Fang Chengzhong then boldly handed his head over: "You say."

"They are the emperor's people."

"... What?!"

Fang Chengzhong's face suddenly changed, and before he could react more, he was grabbed by Xue Qingyin.

"What are you excited about? Keep the letter and make a seal according to the seal on it. It's not difficult, right?"

"It's not difficult, but you do this..."

"This is the emperor's private seal."

Fang Chengzhong's heart was suddenly filled with shock and waves.

After they left the forest, they saw blood all over the ground.

Following the blood, they found the body of the guard.

But there was no sign of Prince Xuan and He Songning.

Fang Chengzhong calmed down and pretended to be calm, saying, "Let's continue down the mountain."

When they reached the foot of the mountain, they ran into Dou Ruyun and others.

Dou Ruyun and others were also looking for Xue Qingyin, but they were very tired. They drew their swords from a distance.

"One of us." Fang Chengzhong called out.

Dou Ruyun then put the sword back in.

This is good.

The dark army that was still hesitant just now, thinking about whether to fight with Prince Xuan's men and snatch Princess Xuan and run away, now seeing that the team is getting bigger and bigger, it has completely given up.

The most important thing is that Chai Peng is gone... They fought hard, but in the end they couldn't complete the task, so they still got nothing!

So they can only take it one step at a time.

Xue Qingyin sat in the sedan chair, and it felt like she had been walking for a while and didn't stop.

She rolled up the curtain and looked out.

Circular Mound had fallen behind.

"We are..."

"Going back to the Imperial City."

"Where is His Highness?"

"I don't know all of His Highness's plans. I only know that I am responsible for finding the princess." Fang Chengzhong answered with his head down, not daring to meet Xue Qingyin's eyes.

Dou Ruyun quickly interrupted and said, "I was originally going to the other palace to pick up the princess, but who knew that the bad guys got there first."

Fang Chengzhong turned his head and glanced at him when he heard this.

Dou Ruyun still got the upper hand. He had been on the road the whole time and had not heard of the rumors of the princess' death at all.

They were all scared!

"Can we go back to the Imperial City now?" Xue Qingyin asked.

"Of course, our Highness went to clear the court, not to do anything else."

Xue Qingyin thought so too, so she leaned back obediently.

I don't know if the news has reached Xu Zhi's ears.

Will she... be sad about the "death news"?

Xue Qingyin rubbed her eyes, exhaled a little irritably, and wished that the situation in front of her would end quickly.

It was getting darker.

The Xuanwu Army had completely taken over the Circular Mound, including the other palaces.

Emperor Liang De naturally realized that he could not leave the other palaces.

"Your Highness ordered us to guard His Majesty here, and we dare not leave without permission." The Xuanjia Guards said respectfully.

Emperor Liang De sighed: "I know that King Xuan is filial."

When he returned to the palace and closed the door, his face darkened again.

He was able to block him directly in the other palace without letting him go. It can be seen that King Xuan was ready to win.

But what did he rely on?

Emperor Liang De did not panic, he sat back in his seat: "Pour tea."

Seeing that he was very calm, the palace people naturally calmed down one by one. At this time, they were still seriously making tea and pouring tea for Emperor Liang De.

He used himself as bait, and his original intention was to strangle He Songning. But now he caught the big fish of King Xuan.

Then there was only waiting.

Wait for troops to be dispatched back for reinforcement.

Wait for those people to bring Xue Qingyin back to him.

When he knew about the existence of the Qinggui Army a long time ago, he had thought about building a Qinggui Army of his own.

But he did not have the unique advantages that Prince Zhang had.

Prince Zhang could absorb the sons of the powerful in the capital... so he simply looked for desperate people.

If these people want to change their appearance, they can only obey his orders and risk their lives...

This team is completely independent of the court organization.

It is not suitable for him to turn against King Xuan and his son in public, but if it really comes to that, it would be best to use them in private.

These people... He spent a lot of energy to train.

Don't let him down.

Emperor Liang De thought about this, took the teacup and took a sip, put it down, and said in a deep voice: "It's still not as good as the tea on Princess Xuan's farm."

The palace people thought Xue Qingyin was really dead after being abducted, and hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, please accept my condolences."
