Fast time travel: The heroine and the female supporting role hold the script of the villain

Chapter 111 The real daughter, she quit (57)

However, just when she had already calculated in her mind how to divert the attention of those two people so that Zhao and Chun Xi could escape smoothly, the sound of fierce fighting unexpectedly came from her ears.

Before she could fully regain her soul, a man in black fell to the ground with a muffled groan.The other party's face was covered tightly by a black cloth, leaving only a pair of lifeless eyes exposed, staring straight at the bottom of the couch where the three of them were.

Haiyao's hand holding the dagger was tight and tight, and the pattern carved on the handle of the knife was imprinted into her palm, and there was a slight pain.

Soon, there was another quick cry of pain, and the other man in black lay on top of the previous one. The blood gushing out from the necks of the two gradually gathered together and flowed into the black In the felt, there are not even traces on the surface.

Then, the sound of footsteps sounded again, the person who came first walked to the opened tarpaulin, smiled in a deep voice, then turned around immediately, and walked straight to the wooden couch briskly.

The sheepskin blanket that was torn off by Haiyao before was picked up, and when she raised her eyes, she met a pair of black eyes full of smiles.

Finally heaving a sigh of relief, she crawled out from the bottom of the couch under the teasing gaze of the other party, then turned around and pulled out Zhao Shi and Chun Xi.

Lu Chengen lowered his eyes a little, staring at the dagger in her hand for a long time, then gradually moved his gaze up and stopped on the pretty face covered with dirt: "I didn't expect Miss Wu to be quite flexible."

At this moment, Haiyao had a miserable appearance with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes, but she obviously didn't care about it. Hearing this, she simply raised her hand and wiped her face casually with her sleeve: "For survival, Not shabby!"

The nonchalant words successfully made Lu Chengen smile, after all he knew early on that this woman is not simple.

At this time, Mrs. Zhao finally saw the face of his 'savior' clearly, and tried to maintain the nobleman's demeanor and came forward to thank him: "Thanks to General Lu... My God!"

Before he could finish speaking, he was scared back by the two dead assassin corpses piled up at the entrance of the tent.

Seeing this, Lu Chengen hurriedly clapped his hands, signaling to the guards outside the door to deal with those two people.

Here, after Haiyao told Chunxi to take good care of Mrs. Zhao, she followed the man out of the tent and took a look at the surroundings.Many people in the army were dragging a black corpse in their hands, and those assassins who had already died were all placed in an open space in a haphazard manner.

It seems that the previous battle was very intense.

"Why didn't you stay by the emperor and empress's side?" After all, it was the first time that she was so close to the real death, Haiyao looked away with a little discomfort, and asked curiously.

"Your Majesty is fine, so I rushed over here without stopping." Lu Chengen raised his eyebrows, turned sideways and cupped his hands solemnly: "Speaking of which, I would like to thank Miss, if not, I would be here without any preparations." If something like this happens, the consequences will be unimaginable.”

"So everything tonight is really related to the prince? What is their plan? To force the palace or... to kill the king?" Haiyao's voice was extremely soft for the last two words.

But fortunately, Lu Chengen's hearing was excellent, and when he heard this, he let out an affirmative hum from his nose.

This matter has to start with the handkerchief he received during the day. In order not to arouse suspicion, he left the royal hunting grounds with his guards as originally planned. It was not until he went out for a long distance. Carefully opened the square veil.

In addition to the handkerchief embroidered with plum blossoms on the other side, there is also a thin piece of paper with a few simple words written in delicate lowercase letters: prince, concubine, Houshan.

Lu Chengen's intuition was not good, so he immediately took the team of guards to take a small path and turned back.

Whether it is through the contacts of the Duke's Mansion or by his own strength, it is not difficult to find out who the concubine who is having an affair with the prince is.After thinking about it again and again, he finally sent out two guards to secretly guard near the back mountain, and then led his own people to hide outside the concubine's tent.

Sure enough, when the night was getting darker, the emperor brought the old eunuch to the palace concubine's residence, and then plunged into the tent.

There was nothing unusual at first, until the two guards he sent to guard the back mountain sent a warning signal, and it turned out that a group of people in night suits really sneaked down from the back mountain.

As soon as those people got off the mountain, they scattered like tigers pouncing on their prey, and rushed towards the hunting ground, the living quarters of the royal family and the courtiers respectively.

Because of the early preparations, everything became just right.For example, those assassins had just rushed into the tent where the emperor was, and before the emperor realized what had happened, Lu Chengen descended from the sky, calming down the chaos here with lightning speed.

Then he divided his soldiers into two teams, one team went straight to the dangerous hunting ground, and he personally led the other team to come here quickly.

Lu Chengen probably subconsciously felt that since Haiyao was able to detect the hidden conspiracy behind this autumn hunt before others, she would naturally be able to stay away from the most dangerous places in advance.

I have to say, he was really bet right.

Haiyao blinked, and when she raised her eyes again to look at the person in front of her, a small turbulence inexplicably rose up in her heart.But this feeling was quickly ignored by her, and she turned to look at the dead assassins: "These are the dead men trained by the prince?"

"No." Lu Chengen shook his head, pulled out his sword, and casually removed the black mask of one of the assassins, revealing the tattooed cheek inside: "It's a barbarian."

"The prince dares to collude with..." Barbarian?
After the initial shock, Haiyao figured out the key point in an instant.

If the emperor died at the hands of the dead, there would be doubts about the crown prince's follow-up enthronement, and if the emperor was removed by the hands of barbarians, the ministers would naturally have nothing to say.

Not only has nothing to say, but also has to share the same hatred with the new emperor, so that the crown prince's succession is perfect and impeccable.

As for why not only assassinate the emperor tonight, but also affect the courtiers and family members of various governments, it is probably to create strong evidence.If one or several courtiers inadvertently saw the true identities of these assassins, the survivors would automatically stand on the same front with the new emperor after experiencing life and death. running-in period.

Such a strategy of one arrow and several carvings is really like Luo Hongxin's style of doing things.

Pursing her lips, Haiyao reckoned that whether it was Wu Jinzhen who blocked the way before or the two assassins who broke into the tent not long ago, they should all be targeting her.

Mr. Luo, who is magnanimous on the surface, is really stingy, playing with power and thinking about getting revenge on such a small role as her...

Gee.

Taking a step back, assuming that the assassination failed by accident, the prince can easily blame the barbarian for everything afterwards, and the generational hatred between the two countries is enough for him to escape safely.

It's just that in this entire seemingly flawless process, two accidents were unexpectedly mixed in.

One is Haiyao, who discovered the collusion between the prince and the concubine and the tricks in the back mountains, and the other is Lu Chengen, who should have left the royal hunting ground long ago because of urgent military affairs.

But it happened that these two accidents abruptly broke the situation that the prince had carefully arranged for a long time.

Not only did it break the game, but it also caught them off guard. In such a hasty situation, there would naturally be quite a few flaws exposed.

I understand all the reasons, but Haiyao still looks a little worried at the moment, Lu Chengen should have noticed her uneasiness, hesitating again and again, he raised his hand and patted her on the shoulder lightly and comfortingly: "Even if that A young Mr. Luo claims to be very talented, and he has already dealt with the relevant traces of the crown prince's collusion with the barbarians, but he may not really have complete control over these barbarians."

"Miss Wu, don't worry, when it comes to dealing with barbarians, there is no one in Dachang who is better than Lu Mou."

Hearing the familiar male voice, Haiyao's heart miraculously calmed down. Just when she was about to ask about the situation in the hunting ground, and was about to inquire about Wu Xiuyuan's safety, a sound from far and near suddenly sounded in the distance. , hysterical screams.

The two turned their heads almost at the same time, and saw two guards in light armor made of fine steel approaching, and one of the guards was holding a small chicken in his hand. woman.

The woman seemed to have something stuffed in her mouth, so she couldn't say anything at all, she could only howl meaninglessly with her throat.

The two guards seemed to be unaware of the struggle of the man in their hands, and the other took two big steps forward and reported to Lu Chengen respectfully: "General, the assassins in the hunting grounds, the subordinates have also passed away. All of them were controlled, but unfortunately only one was left alive."

Probably because the crown prince still needs to be full of civil and military affairs after he ascends the throne, and he can't be a bare emperor, so there are not many assassins who attack the hunting grounds.

As for the role of these sporadic assassins, it is probably to reveal the true identity of the regicide to everyone from the side.

Lu Chengen nodded: "It's okay, one person is enough."

Then, he looked at the struggling woman again.

The guard holding the man in his hand explained with a wink: "The two of us met this person on the way to return to the general. I thought she was also attacked by the assassin, but it happened that my subordinate After revealing her identity, she wanted to escape in a panic!"

"General, my subordinates reasonably suspected that she was a spy. I wanted to kill her with a sword, but I didn't expect... I didn't expect that she would call herself the cousin of the general's wife."

Haiyao's eyes widened slightly when she heard the title 'Madame General'.

Lu Chengen clenched his hand into a fist next to his mouth uncomfortably and coughed dryly twice, then reached out his hand to remove the long cloth strip covered with stains covering Wu Jinzhen's mouth, and gestured to his guards with his eyes let go.

With the sound of "Oops", Wu Jinzhen fell heavily to the ground. Because her hands were tied behind her back, she could only wriggle and kneel with all her strength.

At this time, the woman was not wrapped in a luxurious dress, and her appearance was even more terrifying like a ghost. She moved slowly and rubbed her knees under Haiyao's eyelids, and before she opened her mouth, the tears on the other side came into pairs. fell down.

"Cousin sister! Please save me!"
