Prince Consort

Chapter 118

"Officer! Night attack!"

Xie Zean was about to fall asleep when Dai Shi knocked on the door.They brought quite a few people, most of them were Princess Yan Ning's guards, they were well-trained and skilled.Dai Shi has worked hard in the past few years, and he manages such a group of people very handy, and rarely makes mistakes.

Hearing Dai Shi's anxious tone, Xie Ze'an put on his coat, opened the door and asked, "Night attack?"

When Dai Shi met Xie Zean, his heart calmed down, and he reported: "There are a lot of people here, all of them are powerful, and they seem to be premeditated. Our people can only abandon the outer wall and guard the inner courtyard together. " He was worried, "This group of people appeared silently, and they attacked quickly and ruthlessly. I don't know where they came from."

Xie Ze'an asked: "Can you see their appearance?"

Dai Shi said: "I can't see it. They are all wearing night clothes and black masks. They don't even show their eyebrows. They can only see a pair of eyes. Ah, by the way, they didn't bring bows and arrows or swords. The weapons were sharp stones." , This thing is easy to find, but its power is not small, so far five people have been injured."

Xie Zhe'an said: "I just came here, so it stands to reason that I didn't offend anyone." He frowned, "I'll go out and have a look."

Dai Shi said, "No, it's too dangerous outside."

Xie Ze'an said: "Dangerous? I want to see who is dangerous. Whoever dares to throw a stone at me, I will definitely hit him back thousands of times."

Dai Shi: "..."

Xie Ze'an put on his outer robe, picked up his bow and arrows and went out.When he approached the inner courtyard wall, his eyes suddenly focused, and he was attracted by the movements of the night attackers on the wall.

Xie Zean lowered his hand holding the bow, and shouted loudly: "Da Lang, Xie Da Lang!"

The night raiders on the wall stepped back and disappeared without a trace.

Xie Zean shouted: "Come out."

A figure appeared from outside the gate of the courtyard. He was dressed in an undisguised white robe, the material of which was as white as snow, making his face more handsome and his eyebrows more handsome.The gloominess that had haunted his body since he was a child has not disappeared, but it is no longer obtrusive, as if he has already merged with him and can no longer be separated.

As if this is him, more or less of anything is wrong.

Xie Ze'an said: "Da Lang, didn't I tell you not to follow?"

Xie Dalang didn't speak.

He couldn't speak at all, so when he wanted to be silent, no one could pry his mouth open.

Xie Ze'an is gone.

Xie Dalang glanced at Dai Shi and the others.

Dai Shi often sparred with Xie Dalang, and he had a tacit understanding with Xie Dalang, how could he not understand what Xie Dalang meant?Xie Dalang wanted to tell him that the defense he had set up was not good, it was totally vulnerable!Dai Shi was crying in his heart, it wasn't that he couldn't do it, but that Xie Dalang was too good!

Xie Dalang is Xie Hui's grandson, and he was brought by Xie Hui's side to teach him for several years. He is excellent in both marching formation and personal martial arts.The group of people taught by Xie Dalang are a bit perverted, and they only obey Xie Dalang's orders, and Xie Dalang dares to do anything when he gives orders.They have just arrived here, and they have trekked all the way, they are very tired, how can they have the ability to deal with it?

Dai Shi is a grievance!But he quickly realized: these reasons are not reasons!

What if it wasn't Xie Dalang who came, but a real night raid?Liangzhou is no better than the capital, how did the grandson Lin die?Even with Xie Hui and Yan Chong strictly guarding the customs, this place is not absolutely safe.

Dai Shi smiled wryly and said, "Da Lang, you are right to remind me, if I continue to be so lax, maybe something will really happen."

After receiving Dai Shi's words, Xie Dalang looked at Xie Ze'an, meaning "See, I must come".

Xie Ze'an: "..."

People have come, and it is unrealistic to rush back.Xie Ze'an could only say: "Go to sleep first."

Xie Dalang nodded, turned around and asked Dai Shi to settle him down.Princess Yanning's guards were very convinced by Xie Dalang, knowing that it was him who came to attack at night, no one complained, and spontaneously helped the injured down to treat the wound.

Xie Ze'an returned to the courtyard, but saw Princess Yan Ning standing by the door, looking at him suspiciously.

Xie Ze'an explained: "Da Lang is here." He briefly explained the matter of Xie Da Lang's "night attack".

Princess Yanning sighed and said, "It's a pity that Dalang can't speak."

Xie Ze'an nodded, told Princess Yanning to go back to sleep, and lay down on the bed with all her clothes on, looking at the dark beams of the roof.Seeing Xie Dalang suddenly, Xie Zean was very happy. Although he was the one who refused to let Xie Dalang come over, this place is a bit strange after all, and it would be nice to have an acquaintance with him.

What's more, Xie Dalang is his brother who can deliver his back.

Not in the capital, although Xie Zean and Princess Yanning both slept in the main house, they finally didn't have to share a room.Xie Ze'an stretched his long legs and put his arms down, sleeping soundly and securely.

And on the roof that was still slightly cold in spring, Xie Dalang lay quietly on it, watching the stars in the sky and listening to the long breathing in the room.

It took another half a month before Zhao Chongzhao, who was far away in the capital, received a letter from Princess Yan Ning declaring her safety.

Zhao Chongzhao read the letter over and over several times, trying to see the other person's recent situation from the lines, but he couldn't do it after all.He had known for a long time that Xie Ze'an was a cruel person, and he was really cruel, and he didn't even get a word back.

Zhao Chongzhao heard a lot of things from the secret guard, Xie Xiaomei didn't go, but Xie Dalang disappeared, and Xie's mansion was nowhere to be seen, so he probably went to Liangzhou with him.Sometimes he hates his identity, which makes him unable to follow Xie Ze'an like Xie Dalang.

Zhao Chongzhao clenched his fists.

Zhao Chongzhao still couldn't let go, knowing that he shouldn't think about it, and knowing that they were brothers.

Zhao Chongzhao was depressed, and when someone came to report that "Cai Yang asked to see him", he was slightly stunned, and couldn't remember who Cai Yang was for a while.When he remembered, he said lazily, "Let him in."

Cai Dong's observation skills are first-rate, and he can tell that Zhao Chongzhao is in a bad mood as soon as he enters the room.Cai Dong immediately dispelled the plan of lobbying Zhao Chongzhao to play in the palace, and said with a serious face, "Your Majesty, there is something wrong with the Cuju club."

Zhao Chongzhao raised his eyebrows and became a little interested: "What's the problem?"

Cai Dong said: "It's like this. I picked a lot of smart people to play football, but they were too smart. Some people started to take advantage of loopholes and deliberately hurt others when they played football." Yes, he has a lot of ideas."

Zhao Chongzhao cheered up: "Tell me carefully, I will write to him and ask him."

Cai Dong knew that he had made the right bet, Zhao Chongzhao and Xie Zean were very close, once Xie Zean left, Zhao Chongzhao would definitely not be in a good mood.Although it's absurd, Cai Dong smelled the same kind of smell in Zhao Chongzhao. This Ninth Five-Year Lord has the same ugly desires hidden in his heart. No, no, Zhao Chongzhao's desires are even uglier. After all, Xie Ze'an is his. Brother-in-law, husband of my own sister.

What's the difference between a royal and him?He only stripped off the clothes of distant relatives and assumed the identity of distant relatives. Zhao Chongzhao also wanted to occupy his sister's husband.

Cai Dong half-truthfully told Zhao Chongzhao about the problems of the Cuju Club, and gave Zhao Chongzhao a reason—a good reason to write to Xie Zean.

After Zhao Chongzhao listened carefully, his impression of Cai Dong improved a lot, and he said kindly: "Go back, I will send someone to find you again after Saburo writes back."

Cai Dong thanked him again and again before quitting.

Zhao Chongzhao was very happy, he picked up a pen and quickly finished writing the reply letter to Princess Yanning, and then seriously spread out a new letter paper, and picked up a pen to write a letter to Xie Ze'an.He wrote three pages eloquently, but when he looked back, he felt that the letter he wrote to his sister was too thin, which might make her suspicious, so he tore up the first letter and wrote four pieces of letter paper to his sister.After checking again and again that there was no problem, Zhao Chongzhao stuffed them into the envelope. After all, the seven pieces of letter paper were too thick, and the whole letter looked bulging, which was very funny.

Zhao Chongzhao asked someone to deliver the letter, cheered up and began to deal with government affairs.

Zhao Ying didn't want to have a generous burial, and the national funeral was also set to be extremely short, with officials staying for a hundred days and soldiers and civilians staying for one month.Once the national mourning was over, things became more complicated.Zhao Chongzhao would have complained endlessly if he had changed before, but when Xie Zean left, Zhao Chongzhao was gloomy in his heart and acted particularly hardworking, secretly thinking, "The busier the better, there will be no time to be sad when you are busy."

This kind of diligence is seen in the eyes of Baiguan, and the evaluation of Zhao Chongzhao is even higher. The high-hanging heart is finally let go, and they start to find things for Zhao Chongzhao in turn, trying to use this method to create a sense of existence. .

No, Zhao Chongzhao hadn't been busy for long, Zhang Dade reported: "Ma Yushi is asking to see you outside."

Zhao Chongzhao had a fierce face and said, "I don't see you." This Ma Yushi is a well-known mother, who likes to take care of everything, and likes to participate in everything. Zhao Chongzhao was often involved by him when he was still the prince.Had it not been for Xie Ze'an's persuasion, Zhao Chongzhao would have put him on the list of "exploding latrines".

As soon as Zhao Chongzhao's disappearance spread, he heard a plop from outside, and it was Ma Yushi who knelt on the ground, and his poor knee slammed into the stone floor hard. It hurts to hear it!

Zhang Dade came in hesitantly and reported: "Your Majesty, Ma Yushi said that you didn't see him, he, he can't afford to kneel."

Zhao Chongzhao said with a "huh" and said: "Let him kneel, let him kneel enough. He is shameless himself, so what do I care about him? I hate being threatened the most."

Zhang Dade could only keep silent.

Zhao Chongzhao was busy for another half an hour, and there was a low cry from outside. At first, Ma Yushi only wanted to pretend to cry a few times, but when he thought of the scenery when the late emperor was there, and thought of the courtesy and trust of the late emperor, his heart became more and more serious. More and more wronged, the fountain of tears could no longer be tied, and she was so sad that she burst into tears.

Zhao Chongzhao couldn't help being dumbfounded when he heard this movement in the imperial study.

It's really hard to be an emperor, one or two of these ministers don't make people worry!

Zhao Chongzhao put down the memorial in his hand, walked out, and helped Ma Yushi up with his own hands: "Ma Qing, why are you doing this?"

Seeing Zhao Chongzhao came out in person, Ma Yushi choked back his tears, straightened his back, and said with a half-choked voice, "I have something to play!"

Zhao Chongzhao said helplessly: "Ma Qing, but it's okay to say."

Ma Yushi said: "I want to participate in Yao Ding's overreach!"
