It wasn't like this in my last life

When the news of Emperor Bintian reached Song Xi, it was several days later. He ordered dozens of subordinates and rushed to the capital overnight.In the middle of the journey, another news came——Prince Jing and Concubine Jing in the palace put the Queen Mother under house arrest, intending to force the palace.

"Master, we are going back this time to send the sheep to the tiger's mouth!" Tsing Yi showed worry, "There must be a setup in the capital, waiting for us to enter the urn."

"In your opinion?"

"The subordinates think that as long as the military power is in their hands, King Jing will not touch us. Let's break Qiliang's leg first, and then the army will point directly at the capital."

Song Xi shook his head, "Father is dead, if I don't go back, then they will have something to talk about again. Besides, Qiliang sent troops this time, it doesn't look like they are going to attack the city."

"Your Highness is suspicious..."

"We beat them and retreated, and we retreated and they fought again, as if deliberately trying to trap me at the border. If this battle really starts, it won't last for a year or so." Song Xi frowned. brow.

Tsing Yi suddenly realized, "Your Highness suspects that someone in the court is colluding with Qi Liang?"

Song Xi was expressionless, "I disregarded the lives of all the people in the world for my own selfishness."

Tsing Yi was silent for a while, and was a little puzzled, "With Prince Gong's ability, he doesn't seem like someone who is waiting to die, why is he held hostage by Prince Jing instead?"

When mentioning Prince Gong, Song Xi couldn't help but think of the two tails following Song Badai, and felt a little unconcerned, "You will know when you go. But before going back, let's take a trip to Zhenxi Wangfu. Now the army Trapped by the Qiliang army, only King Zhenxi can help me, so I set off immediately."

"Yes."

As for Song Badai, they received the news a few days later than Song Xi.The letter was handed over by Prince Gong. It only said about Prince Jing's rebellion. Later Song and Eighth Dynasties delivered the letter again, but there was no reply. Not even Prince Gong's two guards came back.Song Badai was anxious, on the one hand worried about the movement in the palace, and on the other hand worried about Song Xi's safety.

"You want to go in person?" Ning Fangxuan stood up with support on her waist, "It's absolutely impossible. I don't know what's going on in Beijing at this time. If you fall into it, Song Xi will be passive."

The third brother also stopped him, "If you are worried, I will find my friends near the capital to inquire, and I will tell you immediately if there is any news."

Persuaded by everyone, Song Badai stayed in the mountains for another two days, but there was still no news from Song Xi, and none of the guards who escorted the treasure to Beijing returned, presumably they were plotted against.He was so worried that he couldn't sleep all night, and on the third day, the third brother sent a message.

Song Badai stood up in shock, "You mean Duke Lu passed away? Why is it so sudden?"

The third brother shook his head, "The news has been blocked. Some people are rumoring that Lord Lu was killed by King Jing's people. We can't find out the details."

If the third elder brother said this, it meant he was inseparable. It seemed that Prince Jing was bound to win this time, so the Crown Prince Song Xi would be in danger.

"One more thing..." The third brother hesitated for the first time, and Song Badai instantly had a bad feeling.

"Third brother, don't lie to me, it's Song Xi..."

The third brother shook his head, "It's not him. It's the Song family, imprisoned by King Jing for disrespect."

"It's a trap, he wants to lure you over." Mr. Qiu looked at Song Badai fixedly, "His target is Song Xi."

Everyone looked at Song Badai, and they didn't dare to make this decision for him.On one side is the lives of a dozen members of the Song family, and on the other side is Song Xi, whether to go or not, can only be seen by Song Badai himself.

"Is there any news about Song Xi?"

The third brother shook his head.If the Anbu guards left by Song Xi are still there, maybe they can still be contacted.

Song Badai hesitated for a long time, then suddenly stood up, "I know where he will go. King Jing is forcing the palace, and the palace must be in and out at this time. Princess Xinhui is still in the palace, and Song Xi will definitely go out." Go to Zhenxi Prince's Mansion. I have to go back to Beijing, maybe there is another person who can help."

"Have you thought it through?" Ning Fangxuan looked worried.

Song Badai nodded, "Whether it's for Song Xi or for the two siblings at home, I have to make this trip."

Seeing that he had already made up his mind, Ning Fangxuan didn't stop her anymore, "I'm inconvenient now, so I won't go over to make trouble. If other people can help, just order them."

Song Badai smiled gratefully, "Thank you, but this time I really can't bother you anymore. Besides, I'm looking for someone, too many people would be a bad thing. If Song Xi has any news to send here, then I will trouble the third Just send me a letter."

After making a decision, Song Badai did not delay, packed up some things overnight and set off.

Martial law has been imposed in Beijing, and the portraits of Song and Eight Dynasties have been posted dozens of miles away from the suburbs of the city.Song Badai was fortunate to learn the disguise technique from the third brother, and then slightly shifted the bones of the body, turning into a rickety old man.

After passing through the interrogation into the city, Song Badai did not go straight to the Song family's house.

He found an inn and asked for the cheapest room in Xuanzi.When night came, he washed off his disguise and changed into night clothes, planning to visit Prince Gong's mansion first.

There is a curfew in the capital, and there is no one outside at this time, only soldiers patrolling back and forth.Song Badai quietly hid in the shadows, and performed his lightness kung fu all the way to the side door of Prince Gong's mansion.The gates are heavily guarded, and there are guards in the mansion. It seems that this is the place that King Jing is focusing on.

Song Badai didn't dare to scare the snake, so he quietly turned back and took a long way to Lu Guogong's mansion.

Compared to the heavily guarded Song family and Prince Gong's mansion, Lu Guogong's mansion is peaceful.Presumably, once Duke Lu fell, Duke Lu's mansion would no longer pose any threat to Prince Jing, that's why there were no guards.

Song Badai climbed over the wall and went all the way to the courtyard where Song Wenfei lived.After secretly listening for a long time, I only knew that the old lady was seriously ill, and Song Wenfei seemed to be waiting for her illness at the old lady's place.The fall of Lu Guogong, I am afraid that the one who suffers the most is the old lady.After all, her old man and Song Badai are also regarded as grandparents. Song Badai walked lightly and quietly went to the old matriarch's yard.

"Grandmother, my grandson will treat you with medicine. After drinking the medicine, you will have a good night's sleep. Tomorrow morning, my grandson will accompany you to the temple to offer incense." Song Wenfei's voice came, with a tone of coaxing a child.Song Badai didn't dare to disturb him, so he hid himself under a tree outside and waited for a long time.

Song Wenfei said again: "Yes, the Duke is still in the palace. Grandmother knows that Your Majesty holds the Duke in the highest regard and must leave him to rest in the palace. Grandma takes a rest after drinking the medicine, otherwise the Duke will Grandpa should be worried."

After about a stick of incense, Song Wenfei came out with a medicine bowl.

Song Badai stepped out, "Brother."

"Little Ba?" Song Wenfei was taken aback, then looked around, and pulled him to the other side of the old lady's courtyard, "Why did you come back in such a big way? Prince Jing is looking for you everywhere Well, I plan to use you to lure Song Xi back. Have you seen that there are many eyeliners near the Song family."

Song Badai nodded, "I took a look from afar, but they didn't notice me. How is the old lady?"

Song Wenfei sighed, "Prince Jing rebelled, and the first person to deal with him was the Duke. Poor Duke is not in good health, and he didn't survive the hardships of prison, so he went like that. The old lady didn't know it yet, so she dared not follow Her old man said, even if she was told..." Song Wenfei's face was full of sorrow.

Song Badai clenched his fists, "Where is Songdan?"

"Grandpa Guo disappeared when something happened, and I'm afraid that he will do something stupid now." Song Wenfei sighed, and pulled Song Badai back, "Your family is all right, but Prince Jing is confined in the house, and everyone No punishment was imposed. You must not show your face, listen to me, and hide in the Duke's mansion until Song Xi brings rescuers."

"No." Song Badai shook his head, "There are a lot of people in the mansion, so it's hard to guarantee that there won't be one or two who have a different heart. If I hide in the mansion, then I will cause trouble for you. I want to ask, Prince Gong, but he himself In the mansion?"

Song Wenfei nodded, "Prince Jing put him under house arrest. But it's strange, Prince Gong is older than him. If he really wants to get that seat, he must get rid of Prince Gong first, but he just put him under house arrest in the mansion. People can't figure it out."

"Prince Gong is not an ordinary person." Song Badai frowned, "He must have something to protect his own life. It's a pity that I can't contact him at all now, otherwise..."

"Are you going to persuade him to join forces with Song Xi?"

Song Badai nodded, now this is the best way.

After explaining a few words to Song Wenfei, Song Badai quietly turned out from the side door.As soon as he stood firmly, a hand stretched out from behind and covered his mouth, Song Badai kicked sideways, and met the person who covered his mouth face to face.

It was one of the guards that Prince Gong sent to protect him.

He gestured towards Song Badai, "Come with me."

Song Badai did not hesitate, and immediately followed.The two came to the edge of an abandoned well in the alley, moved the jack on the well, and the guard quickly jumped in.Song Badai followed closely behind and landed safely by the friction on the well wall.The guard touched a switch quietly, the bottom of the well was slightly loosened, and it was slowly opened, presenting a passage in front of the two of them.

After the figures of the two disappeared, the bottom of the well slowly closed again.Not long after, a beggar-looking man passed by and put the jack back on easily.

This passage leads to a remote courtyard in the palace.The two quietly lurked behind the tree, and after the patrolling soldiers passed by, their figures flashed into Prince Gong's study.

"Xiaoba, you're finally here." Prince Gong's face was ruddy, and there was no trace of being confined by others, as if he was enjoying an interesting game, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
