MTL - The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister-Chapter 191 Pei You! how dare you!
Wen Ning was locked in a darkroom.
The darkroom seems to be in some hidden corner, with windows, but no light at all. Only a slit of light penetrated through the crack of the door, so thin that she couldn't tell whether it was day or night.
But she knew someone was watching her.
Occasionally there are footsteps outside the door.
She wasn't very scared.
This life is picked in this life, what is there to be afraid of?
And she could vaguely guess that the person who kidnapped her was targeting Pei You.
Xie Changyuan?
Not so sure.
But she didn't bother to think about it.
Her stamina was slashed so badly, it was really painful.
Moreover, those people brought her captive without giving her water or food. This darkroom probably doesn’t see sunlight on weekdays, and it’s winter now, so it’s extremely cold inside.
She had to talk to someone outside.
She is very familiar with such things as striking up a conversation.
"Hey, how much money does your master give you? I'll give you ten times as much as ten years, and you let me out."
"Is it snowing outside? Aren't you cold? I entrust you with such a hard job. I think your master doesn't think much of you."
"Have you eaten yet? I'm hungry, are you going to starve me to death?"
"The water is not brought in? Are you afraid that I will recognize your identities?"
"let me guess…"
Xie Chang Yuan probably isn't afraid of being recognized, Pei You might go to him after meeting Jiahe Emperor in the morning.
"Hey, I see! Fourth Highness?"
"Don't dare to open the door, for fear that I will see the scenery outside?"
"Is this in the residence of His Royal Highness?"
The people outside finally spoke, and said viciously, "Shut up!"
Was she really fooled?
Wen Ning's hands and feet were actually bound by ropes, so she said to the outside world: "Quickly ask your Fourth Highness to come down to see me! If you don't see me, you bite your tongue and kill yourself. Let's see what he can do with me!"
The man really believed it. After a moment of silence, footsteps sounded.
But soon, Wen Ning realized that her decision was wrong.
I thought that I would call Chu Heng to deal with him, and lock her in a more comfortable place, but when the man came back, the door was opened, and she didn't see much outside, so he pinched her chin and poured medicine .
Struggling to spill more than half of the bowl, he went out and poured her back and forth twice.
Wen Ning realized that the situation might be more serious than she imagined.
Chu Heng's approach is completely tearing his face. Even if he doesn't please Pei You, he can't be against the Duke's government.
Could it be...he knew Pei You's identity?
Then he catches her...
Wen Ning's heart was full of alarm bells, because of Chu Heng's vicious temperament, she was arrested, and she was to be used as bait to take Pei You's life!
Just as he was thinking so, there were many footsteps outside.
"Here, here." Indistinct voice, "Ambush me! If anyone dares to break in, shoot and kill!"
After being fed those bowls of unknown medicine, Wen Ning's consciousness actually began to be a little confused, but how dare she be really confused?
Those people outside were obviously waiting for Pei You, or waiting for Pei Youzhu to rescue her.
Listen to the footsteps, there are many people.
Wen Ning slammed into the pile of firewood behind her to keep herself awake.
It was dark in the room, but she still had the basic sense of touch. She knocked over the firewood pile, moved her back to a sharp point, gritted her teeth and bumped her wrist upwards.
Woohoo, it hurts so much.
She is most afraid of pain.
Damn Chu Heng, when she goes out, she will definitely get this debt back!
The snow that has been brewing for a whole day finally fell.
Chang'an Street, which had been in panic all day, suddenly became quiet.
Fan Liu reported to Chu Heng in the gazebo: "Your Highness, the people searching outside suddenly withdrew, but the city gate is still closed. I don't know if they plan to search again tomorrow, or... have already guessed that it was us who did it."
Chu Heng looked at the falling snow with his hands behind his back, and sneered: "Has the staff been arranged?"
Fan Liu replied: "Don't worry, Your Highness, everything has been properly arranged. No matter how many people they come, they will never return!"
"Where's the archer?"
"All the highest places in the mansion have been arranged."
"Fan Liu, listen carefully." Chu Heng turned around, his young face showing a frenzied ruthlessness, "No matter what the situation is tonight, as long as Pei You comes, he won't be able to leave! Get him out alive!"
What he can't get, he can't even imagine!
"The slave understands!"
Fan Liu's face was firm at this time, and he didn't waver anymore.
He also knows that once Pei You's surname is "Chu", the situation will be completely out of their control.
After some planning and agreement, the master and servant became more and more confident.
It's just that they never expected that the person who came tonight was not what they expected.
The first one to knock on the door of the mansion was Wen Lan, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple.
"Dali Temple handles the case, idlers, etc., don't act rashly!"
It was still the familiar high-pitched sentence, tearing apart the calm that floated on the surface of this snowy night.
"People are coming from Dali Temple? How many are here? Why?!" Chu Heng walked quickly to the mansion.
Fan Liu followed closely behind: "It is said that someone sued His Highness..."
He paused: "Collude with Fanbang, come to the house to search for evidence."
Chu Heng's complexion turned pale, and then he smiled: "Only relying on a small temple prime minister? Wanton planting is not a small amount of courage!"
"Order all the guards who are hidden in the dark to come out, so why not have more guards in the palace's own mansion?!"
Fan Liu took the order and left in a hurry.
Chu Heng took several other confidants, went to the front of the mansion, and saw dozens of soldiers from Dali Temple had surrounded the vestibule.
He is different from King Rui, no matter how angry he is in his heart, he still has a smile on his face.
"Why did Xueye, the Prime Minister of Laowen Temple, come here? I heard that someone sued my prince for adultery with a foreign country? Such a serious crime is really frightening."
Wen Lan took a step forward, with the same warm smile, cupped her hands and said, "Rong Yu is really sorry for the disturbance in the middle of the night, but the Royal Order is in front of me and I am on business, so I hope the Fourth Highness will be merciful."
As he spoke, he took out a document from his sleeve and shook it off.
It was a search warrant bearing the imperial seal of Emperor Jiahe.
OK.
It turned out that I went to cry with my own father.
Chu Heng was resentful in his heart, but he smiled more gently on his face: "This search warrant is usually issued by the Dali Temple Secretary, but I have to worry about it myself. Ping Qing is really flattered."
He changed his name very respectfully: "It's getting late, and Ping Qing will not hinder Wen Sicheng's work."
Sideways out of the way: "Please stop."
Do you think that people who have moved to the government will be able to search?
Even if he pulls the entire Dali Temple over and razes the Prince's Mansion to the ground, he may not be able to find the person he wants!
"Search!" Wen Lan ordered coldly.
Immediately, dozens of soldiers entered the Prince's Mansion.
Wen Ning heard a lot of footsteps again.
Different from the neat and orderly ones before, these footsteps were hurried and messy, and occasionally there was the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, as if they were rummaging for something.
Did someone come in from outside the house?
Wen Ning struggled to hold on.
Eyelids keep sinking.
Every time she felt that she was about to lose consciousness, she poked her arm with a sharp object to barely stay awake.
She should probably use a smarter approach.
The person guarding her outside is no longer there.
Wen Ning hopped to the door with all her strength, stepped back a little, and slammed forward.
Hello! There are people here!
If she hadn't taken the medicine, she could have yelled loudly at this moment, but after a few bowls of medicine, her throat was as if stuffed with cotton, and she couldn't make a loud sound.
Can only hit the door hard and hit the door.
But no one seemed to notice this.
Wen calmed down and listened to those movements again.
Seems like...she's underground?
Chu Heng invited Wen Lan to the eaves very politely, ordered his servants to bring tables and chairs, poured hot tea,
The two chatted in a very tacit understanding about the snow tonight, not about the people who searched in the house.
Within a short time, the soldiers came back one after another, all empty-handed, apparently gaining nothing.
Chu Heng drank tea leisurely, the expression on his face became more and more comfortable.
Wen Lan looked at him with serious eyes.
He hurried from the Duke's Mansion to the imperial palace, not knowing exactly what happened, or even why the four princes wanted to kidnap Wen Ning.
But Shi Zi was not mistaken, he is not someone who accepts when he sees a deal.
Not someone who would give in easily.
"I didn't find what I wanted, Sicheng Wen, it's late at night, can I let the hall rest?" Chu Heng put down the teacup in his hand.
Wen Lan smiled: "Looking at the sky, Rong Yu is still very early, besides, the tea at the Fourth Highness's house is so delicious, there are still people who haven't had a sip yet."
Chu Heng narrowed his eyes: "Who?"
Just at this time, a gust of wind came, and after the wind and snow, people with quiet brows and eyes stepped forward.
"Of course it's Pei."
-
Wen Ning felt like crying.
She is really tired.
She wants to sleep.
She didn't have the strength to knock on the door anymore.
Those messy footsteps disappeared.
They didn't find her, did they leave?
I don't know if it was a hallucination caused by drinking the medicine, but she suddenly saw Pei You who was riding a fast horse galloping through the wind and rain in Lingnan.
The sound of horseshoes, the heavy rain, he walked through the rain curtain, stepped through the fog, and appeared in front of her so unexpectedly and so pleasantly.
Mr. Wen is so girly!
Her girl is so young, why did she come so late this time?
no.
can not sleep.
They were going to use her and take her young girl's life.
She stays sober, at least she can play around with the situation, instead of letting me take advantage of it.
Wen Ning hit the wound on her arm again.
The tearing pain dispelled most of the fog in her mind.
Just as the sound of iron chains sounded outside, the door was opened.
The light was already very dim, and Wen Ning managed to recognize it. It was the father-in-law next to Chu Heng, who seemed to be called...Fan Liu?
Fan Liu did not expect that Wen Ning was still awake, and the surprise flashed across his face.
Throwing down the fly whisk in his hand, a dagger in his hand cut the ropes binding her feet, grabbed her arm and dragged her whole body out.
-
Finally willing to show up.
Chu Heng showed a strange excitement on his face.
But after seeing clearly the people who followed Pei You into the mansion, he turned into a strange ashes.
Jinwuwei.
His aloof father was easily given to Pei You and Jin Wuwei.
Chu Heng stared at Pei You, and slowly stood up.
Jin Wuwei entered in file, and had already surrounded his Prince's Mansion tightly.
Pei You also stared at Chu Heng and came step by step.
When the soldiers of Dali Temple saw the Jinwu Guards, they all retreated to give way.
The vestibule of the Fourth Prince's Mansion has probably never been so crowded.
The members of the Jinwu Guard, the members of the Dali Temple, who were originally the soldiers of the mansion, filled the vestibule to the brim.
Chu Heng's defeat was only a moment, and immediately he raised his chin, and the crazy excitement was in his eyes again.
What about the Jinwu Guard?
Even the Jinwu Guards were invited, which once again proves that his judgment is correct, doesn’t it?
He grabbed Wen's A Ning, and then he took Pei You's lifeline!
Jin Wuwei can find people who cannot be found in Dali Temple?
He doesn't mind drinking a few more cups of tea with Pei You, just look at his wonderful expression when he watched the Jinwu guards return empty-handed.
Obviously Chu Heng doesn't know Pei You well enough.
Pei You has never been a person who plays cards according to common sense.
He climbed up the steps, his face was usually indifferent and cold, and his eyes were sparse and lonely, only he stared at Chu Heng without blinking.
When Chu Heng thought that he should stop and say something threatening or flaunting to him, Pei You grabbed his neck with one hand.
Chu Heng only regarded Pei You as a civil servant.
He never thought that a scholar would have such great strength, pushing him back step by step.
pushed him directly onto the pillar in front of the hall, before he could react, the knife light flashed in front of his eyes, and there was a sharp pain in his shoulder.
"Pei You! How dare you!" In front of so many people, he stabbed him directly!
Pei You had no emotion in his eyes, he just tightened the hand that clasped his neck: "Where's the person?"
"Come here! Are they all dead!" Chu Heng yelled at his soldiers, "Didn't you see someone hurt this prince? Take him down for me!"
Tonight, there are unprecedented numbers of guards in his mansion, but they are also unprecedentedly afraid to move.
With the Jinwu Guard in front, who dares to move?
What the Jinwu Guards are going to do is what the Holy One is going to do. How many of them have the guts to disobey the Holy Will? !
Pei You pulled out the dagger from his shoulder.
Blood spatter.
Chu Heng let out a scream.
"Where's the person?" Pei You stared at him, and tightened his hands again.
"You...cough..." Chu Heng couldn't breathe well, clutching the bleeding wound on his shoulder, "Are you crazy?"
"Not yet." Pei You bullied her, with even more strength in her hands, looking like a dead thing, "If you don't let people go, it will be hard to protect."
Chu Heng's complexion was flushed red.
He looked at the government soldiers who were blocked on the outermost side below, and finally realized that Pei You's big move to bring so many Jinwu guards was not to search for people at all.
He just wanted the Jinwu Guard to control his soldiers.
To humiliate him in front of so many people!
"If you have the ability, you can...kill me in full view..." Chu Heng smiled ferociously.
Even if he is not spoiled, he is still a prince!
Don't mention that he is still a prince, so what if he returns to his original position? Bearing the notoriety of Brother Hand Blade, let's see how he can still be that prince in a legitimate way!
Pei You twitched the corners of her lips: "Your Highness may have misunderstood Pei."
As soon as he finished speaking, he let go of the hand that was strangling his neck.
Almost at the same time, another knife flashed.
Chu Heng subconsciously covered his neck, his hands were covered with blood.
The flushed face just turned pale with fright: "You...you dare...you...Pei You, you are a lunatic!"
Pei You lowered his eyebrows, and wiped off the blood stains on the dagger with the handkerchief in his hand: "I'm sorry, I only let His Highness see Pei's true face today."
While speaking, he grabbed the handle of the knife and clasped Chu Heng's hand, and went down with the dagger again.
Chu Heng screamed again.
One palm was pierced by a dagger, and it was directly nailed to the pillar.
He finally admitted that Pei You was not just a scholar, but a civil servant.
He knows martial arts.
And not just the fur.
The knife on the neck just now cut through the skin. If it goes deeper, it will take his life.
He was almost covered in blood, but he was spotless, with no blood on his hands.
ha.
How unfair!
Even if he lives among the people and grows up in the countryside, he will have better knowledge and stronger martial arts than the prince who grew up in the palace.
Emperor Jiahe had already discovered him, right?
Deliberately hid him among the people, invited a master to teach him, right?
Otherwise how could it be possible!
Why? !
Chu Heng almost burst out laughing.
Partial, their father is too partial!
He almost said the same thing as King Rui did: but because he was not born by the queen!
Then why beget them? !
Pei You no longer glanced at him, and stared at the soldiers below with heavy eyes: "The Fourth Highness is hiding in the mansion this morning. It is a collaborator and traitor who provides clues. He will be promoted to three levels and will be rewarded with a reward of ten thousand taels." .”
There are a lot of government guards, and there is a little commotion at the moment.
"Nonsense!" Chu Heng shouted angrily, "Don't forget who you are working for! Who is your master!"
Pei You turned a deaf ear to it, and only added coolly: "Those who know and do not report will be guilty of the whole family."
Chu Heng suddenly laughed wildly behind him.
"Do you think people are still alive? Let me tell you, they are already dead!"
He completely ignored his previous plan.
He just wanted to annoy Pei You, to see him lose his composure, and to see him collapse.
He even felt that he should follow Fan Liu's suggestion and kill Wen's Ah Ning in the afternoon! Let's see how arrogant he is!
"Do you know how she died?" Chu Heng was nailed to the pillar, with blood on his hands, shoulders, and neck. His face was pale, and there was deep hatred in his eyes. She took off her clothes and cut off her flesh inch by inch with a dagger, she cried and begged me to let her go, and shouted loudly to Peiyou, why didn't you come to save me..."
Pei You's eyes suddenly turned red, and the veins on his forehead were all bulging, and he was about to pass with a fist.
Shengsheng was grabbed by Wen Lan.
"My son! Calm down!"
Pei You didn't want to calm down at all.
He has been calm for five full hours, from the Xie Mansion to the Imperial Palace, and from the Imperial Palace to the Prince's Mansion.
There is a string in his heart, and as the sky gets darker, the string becomes tighter and tighter, and now it is on the verge of breaking.
Whenever he thinks that Wen Ning may not be alive, the violent aura in his body rushes straight to the string that is about to be broken, making him want to destroy the world regardless of everything!
At this moment, a loud shout sounded in the vestibule: "Get out of the way!"
Fan Liu wrapped Wen Ning under his arms, and pressed the dagger to her jaw: "My lord, everything is done by the slave and has nothing to do with the Fourth Highness!"
Chu Heng was overwhelmed by jealousy and anger, but Fan Liu was sober.
He served Chu Heng as the master, and when Chu Heng fell, he was finished.
All the guards lying in ambush on the ground have come out, but the archers at the top are still there.
For the current plan, the only way is to let Prince Pei leave the prince's mansion sideways according to the original plan, and he and the Fourth Highness may still have a chance.
The archers were not arranged by them. Who knows where the villains came from and shot and killed the prince in the chaos? !
When Pei You saw someone coming, his dark eyes lit up suddenly, and he was about to go down the steps.
Wen Lan stopped him again.
"The son of the world."
Beware of fraud.
Wen Ning's clothes were damp, her eyes were slightly closed, she was obviously not awake.
Pei You stared at her, and pushed Wen Lan's hand away without hesitation.
Wen Lan frowned and looked at Wen Ning, then waved back, and several Jinwu guards came forward immediately.
Fan Liu tightened his grip on the humanity of his subordinates: "Everyone back down! This slave has something to say, I just want to talk to Prince Pei!"
Pei Shizi?
Wen Ning couldn't bear it just now, so she closed her eyes.
Hearing these three words suddenly at this time, his consciousness came back a little bit.
She tried her best to open her eyes, and met Pei You's eyes that were almost too thick to melt.
He was still wearing the clothes he left in the morning, and he seemed haggard a lot after not seeing him for a day, and his complexion was extremely pale.
what happened?
She looked around with her chaotic mind, the courtyard full of guards, elder brother, Dali Temple soldiers, and even...Jin Wuwei?
And her neck, being bound, hurts so much.
Pei You has already raised his hand, ordering those who followed him to step back.
"My lord, this matter is planned by the slave. The person is captured by the slave, and the slave is also ordered to hide. My lord, if you want the slave to release you, you have to agree to a few things!" Fan Liu hugged Wen Ning, said loudly.
Pei You still only stared at Wen Ning.
Blood was flowing down her bound hands behind her back.
"Say." His voice was still calm.
Fan Liu measured the distance.
He needs to retreat three feet to lead Pei You to move forward three feet before he is within the range of the archer.
"The Fourth Highness has no knowledge of this matter, and the Fourth Highness cannot be held accountable for this afterwards."
"Dali Temple pays attention to factual evidence in handling cases. If His Highness has nothing to do with this matter, the crime will naturally not be blamed on His Highness."
Fan Liu took Wen Ning and took a step back, while Pei You stared at him and took a step forward.
"The slave did this on impulse, and afterwards asked the elder son to spare the slave's life."
"If you can turn back from the precipice and rein in your horse, I will certainly intercede for you in front of His Majesty."
Wen Ning saw it even though her consciousness was a little hazy.
The archer lurking on the roof of the main house poked his head out behind Pei You.
Can't go any further.
Wen Ning shook her head at Pei You, signaling that there was someone above him.
Pei You didn't see her at all, staring at her closely, and came step by step.
Started to screw up again.
Wen Ning had no choice but to bite her tongue hard to wake herself up.
"Eunuch Fan, do you think you're stupid?" Wen Ning couldn't breathe, and spoke with a breathless voice, "You take the blame for your master, do you think he will be grateful to you?"
Fan Liuzheng stared at Pei You wholeheartedly: "Shut up!"
"Take care of your dagger!" Pei You said almost at the same time.
A little further forward, even more foolproof.
Fan Liu moved the dagger away a little, and continued to retreat.
"You're not that loyal to His Royal Highness, are you?" Wen Ning stared at the archer above, "Whoever you recognize as master is not master? Why hang yourself on a tree?"
Draw the bow.
The wind and snow had stopped.
Everyone in the courtyard watched the movement here.
The biting cold made Wen Ning's entire nerve tense up.
"In your private house, there are hidden letters from His Highness Fourth Highness collaborating with the enemy and treason. Do you think he doesn't know?"
Fan Liu's whole body trembled.
How can it be? !
How could this Wen's Ah Ning know the secret he hid so deeply?
Did His Highness find out?
His Royal Highness told her?
Why did you tell her? !
Now is the time!
Wen Ning opened her mouth, and bit Fan Liu **** the arm holding the dagger.
Fan Liu suddenly suffered from pain, and subconsciously moved out.
Wen Ning pushed him back with all her strength, and ran towards Pei You.
Pei You's pupils shrank suddenly, and he set out to pick up the person.
Almost at the same time, a sharp arrow pierced through the air.
Wen Ning was given so much medicine after all, she ran three or four steps away with all her strength, and then fell straight to the ground.
Pei You didn't need to think at all, he was already low in the blink of an eye, almost kneeling in the snow to catch the fallen person.
Whoo, whoo, whoo—
Three arrows landed steadily on the place where he had just stood.
All in the blink of an eye, Pei You embraced the girl under her, raised her head and shouted coldly: "Catch the assassin, arrest the traitor!"
Wen Ning touched the warm embrace, smelled the familiar scent, and immediately let go of her heart.
I thought that she would cry a lot when she saw Pei You, but her confused mind was filled with the image of him just pursing his lips and ignoring her hints, and walking towards her persistently.
"So disobedient." Wen Ning gritted her teeth and said, "Wait for me to go back..."
"Divorce you!"
Finally couldn't hold on any longer, leaned against his arms and lost consciousness.
