Chapter 255 (2/2)

What these officials didn't know was that Xuan Pei had died once. In the last life, although he was a waste prince, he had been with Xuanli for many years. He also saw Xuanli's way of doing things. After a lifetime of hard work, he has been planning for today for a long time. Naturally, he is doing very well. But I don't know that my actions fall in front of those ministers, and it becomes the true saying of heaven.

If there is anything special, Xuanli people are more difficult to deal with than they think. Although he knew that he had bribed many people secretly, now all these people have come out, it's still surprising. Among them, there are many senior officials of the two dynasties and ministers of the humerus. Even the people in charge of the imperial army now have half of their troops in Xuanli's hands. It is because of this that they have been deadlocked with Xuan PEI for such a long time. Moreover, their scattered forces are converging. Not only in the capital, but also in many places, chaos is beginning to emerge. Among them, there are still many people from southern Xinjiang, who have been lurking around for a long time, and most of the troops in southern Xinjiang have been quietly transferred. After all, Xuanli made a lot of money this time.

Xuan Pei was sitting in the imperial library, with countless folds piled up on one side. At this time of chaos, he was still thinking about the memorials one by one. At the beginning, Jiang Ruan once said to him that he should not change anything and let it be. As the king of a dynasty, if he was in chaos, the people in the whole court would be in chaos. He is calm, and he also believes that Xuanli will not be able to break this situation. He believes that Xiao Shao is a person who can solve the problem well. The main thing you do is to employ people, not to do things yourself. Now he uses people very well. Xuanli seems to have the upper hand on the surface, but in fact he is inferior.

Now, if Xuan Pei is worried about Jiang Ruan, he has no news about him. This is what xuanpei was worried about. At the beginning, xuanpei knew Jiang Ruan's plan. As Jiang Ruan told Qi Feng, Xuanli would try to use Jiang Ruan to make a deal with Xiao Shao. Now Xuanli has set up the banner of rebellion, and the next step is to use Jiang Ruan to exchange benefits with Xiao Shao. Xuanli wants nothing more than the control of the royal guards. But it's been several days. Why is Xuanli not moving? At this time, it's not just a matter of putting up with others. Every moment is time and life. Xuanli can't wait to make a deal with Xiao Shao. There was almost only one possibility that Jiang Ruan was not in his hands.

Why he didn't have Jiang Ruan in his hands? First of all, it was Jiang Ruan himself who escaped, so Xuanli couldn't find anyone. This is what Jiang Ruan said. She said that she would find a chance to escape. Secondly, it is the fact that Xuan Pei is most reluctant to guess that Jiang Ruan is in danger. He told himself that Jiang Ruan was clever and cunning. She was the only one who calculated other people's share. The most likely thing was that she calculated other people's escape, but she could not help thinking about the worst. Xuan Pei is also worried. If it's not what he thinks, what should he do? If Jiang Ruan really escaped, why didn't he try to contact them? Where is she now?

Xuanpei thought about it, and a kind of melancholy and dryness came into his mind. He suddenly reached for Mingyue standing on one side and said, ”what's Xiao Shao doing recently?”

Mingyue replied, ”the young master is chasing Yuanchuan.”

”Yuanchuan?” Xuanpei frowned and thought that Yuanchuan was the masked man who loved to follow Danzhen, so he said, ”what is he chasing Yuanchuan for? Is there a whereabouts of the princess

”No Mingyue patiently replied: ”recently, there is a report in the royal guards. Xuanli's people are also chasing Yuanchuan. Yuanchuan is running away. The young master thinks something is wrong. Maybe he can know the turning point of the matter from Yuanchuan, so he has been chasing him.” Mingyue is Xiao Shao's person, but xuanpei is also easy to use now. Xiao Shao also told him not to hide from Xuan Pei about Jiang Ruan. Mingyue didn't hide it and told all she knew.”Xuanli is also chasing Yuanchuan?” Xuanpei sat up straight, his face became dignified: ”why?”

……

The night is like ink. There are two riders galloping along the steep mountain road. One horse and one person in front are obviously in a bit of a panic. They just rush forward with crazy whip, but the other one is much more relaxed. The horse is bright in color, agile and powerful in hooves. It is obviously a good horse.

The man at the back of the horse was dressed in black, almost integrated with the night, but suddenly jumped up, with his toes on the horse's back, and his body flew forward. The man in front knew that it was not good and wanted to turn the horse's head to the other direction immediately. Who knew that the man in the back was flying obliquely in the air. Suddenly, a stone burst out of his hand and dived into the leg of the horse in front of him. The leg of the horse was soft and fell to the ground. The man on the horse's back fell down immediately. The man in black was in front of a man. Before the man could react, a dagger had reached his throat.

”Third brother, wait for me!” Behind him came another slightly noisy sound, followed by a confused sound of horses' hooves, and many people rushed to this side. When they got closer, they were some bodyguards with torches. The first two were not bodyguards. After a closer look, it was mo Cong and Qi Feng.

Mo Cong came forward with a torch in his hand. When he saw the man on the ground, he couldn't help shouting: ”third brother, are you sure he is the messenger of Southern Xinjiang? I didn't look like this even though I was wearing a mask, did I? Who is this? Born like a ghost. ”

The gray clothes of the man on the ground are already ragged, and his hair is disheveled. The most terrible thing is not his sloppy clothes, but his face is beyond recognition. His face looked as if he had been burned by something, like a half torn wall skin. His skin was mottled, and some of them were still hanging, revealing the naked flesh and blood inside. The most terrible is a scar near the eye, almost the entire orbit are burned. Then look at the whole body, are the same burn marks, it seems that has not been well treated, the whole body has begun to flow out of pus, a walk in is a stench.

”Where is she? Why did Xuanli pursue you? ” Xiao Shao ignored Mo Cong's words, and the dagger in Yuan Chuan's throat was not loosened at all. At first, it was the spies of the royal guards who found that Xuanli was chasing and killing a man who looked very much like the emissary of Southern Xinjiang. After telling Xiao Shao, Xiao Shao immediately came to arrest people in person. In fact, it is true that Yuanchuan has been seriously injured. Naturally, there is no lack of Xuanli's hands. If he had not been seriously injured, with Yuan Chuan's cunning nature, he might not have been so easily caught by Xiao Shao. Nevertheless, there are still many doubts. Nanjiang and Xuanli have always been allies. How could Xuanli suddenly kill his own people. If the alliance broke down, but did not see Xuanli chase Qiman, and also for a long time no one saw Dan really trace.

Yuanchuan must know where Jiang Ruan was, because it was the people of Southern Xinjiang who took him away at first. Xuanli didn't dare to come out in person. He was always guarded by people from southern Xinjiang. Now that Yuanchuan is being hunted down, will it have something to do with Jiang Ruan.

When Yuanchuan heard the words, he sneered and said, ”Lord Xiao, do you want to know why Xuanli is chasing me? Do you really want to know? ”

”Don't talk nonsense,” Mo Cong interrupted Yuanchuan before he finished saying, ”hand over the whereabouts of my third sister-in-law. I'll make sure you die happily. If you don't say it, hum

”I didn't want to live.” Yuan Chuan looks up at Xiao Shao who is staring at him coldly. In the light of the fire, Xiao Shao's face is very beautiful, but he is very cold. Yuan Chuan can't help but think of Dan Zhen's infatuation with this man, but this man has only Jiang Ruan's vicious woman. His heart suddenly gave birth to a resentment, then almost provocative smile: ”Lord Xiao must know, I naturally only tell the truth. Lord Xiao should know that Xuanli has always wanted to use the princess to do a business with him, but I ruined the business. Do you know why? ” He grinned, his muscles touching the scars, and he looked more like a ghost: ”because I killed her. That woman died, Xuan Li lost a bargaining chip that he could talk with you, so he wanted to pursue me. ”

As soon as his voice fell, he felt that the dagger in his throat was advancing one inch. A cool liquid came out of his throat. He closed his eyes, but felt that the dagger was not moving forward. Xiao Shao's cold voice sounded in his ear: ”you are lying.”

Qi Feng and Mo Cong are relieved. They are afraid that Xiao Shao will stab yuan Chuan to death. If there is anything that can make Xiao Shao emotionally unstable, it is only Jiang Ruan. Anyone who hears such a curse on his wife will not feel well, not to mention Xiao Shao. Mo Cong said angrily, ”what are you talking about? You think my third brother will believe your story? What can you do to kill my third sister-in-law? I'm afraid you can't touch my third sister-in-law's little finger. It's ridiculous

Yuan Chuan suddenly burst out laughing. His mouth was full of blood. Looking at Xiao Shao, he bit his teeth and said, ”what's the point? Not only did I kill her, I killed the bastard in her stomach! ”
