Chapter 55 Lead the snake out of the hole

After dinner, Yu Songling stood in front of the window with a wine glass, looked at the leaves swaying in the wind outside the window, and said slowly: "The wind tonight is very cool."

"Then don't stand in front of the window." Cheng Ying walked over and said, "I'm going up the mountain tomorrow, so drink less."

"Chengying, you said that if someone really discovered the treasure half a year ago, how could the treasure map reappear? If it is said that Tang Xuan divided the treasure map into several fragments and scattered them all over the place in order to cause competition among sects, so that he can sit back and collect it." For profit, kill the people who besieged Tangjiabao in the past to sacrifice to the souls of the Tang family's dead. What about the people who passed the treasure map? What is their purpose?" Yu Songling asked.

"Perhaps, it has the same purpose as Tang Xuan." Cheng Ying replied.

"The same purpose..." Yu Songling's eyes flickered, "Who wants to get the most rich treasure? Who must get it?"

"You mean... the imperial court?" Cheng Ying's usually calm face also changed color.

"The illegitimate son of the Second Emperor and Concubine Hui, the leader of Yueyue, Balong Mountain, treasure..." Yu Songling murmured, "This may be a conspiracy that has been planned for a long time..."

Several night guards walked by the window, Yu Songling suddenly slipped his hand, the wine glass fell to the ground, and the fragments flew.Chengying bent down to pick up the fragments on the ground, but was pulled by Yu Songling's arm, and with a forceful retraction, Chengying rushed into Yu Songling's arms together with the tiles in his hand.The sharp broken pieces of porcelain were inserted into Yu Songling's chest, and the bright red blood flowed along the porcelain white pieces to Chengying's white hands, and then fell drop by drop to the ground.

Chengying didn't move, and continued to maintain this posture, until the guards watching the night shouted to catch the assassin and rushed in, then he pulled out the porcelain piece, and obediently caught him with his arms tied.

"How is it possible?!" Yun Qingquan said anxiously, "How could Chengying be an assassin? There must be a misunderstanding!"

"Qingquan, calm down!" Situ Sheng pressed Yun Qingquan on the chair who got up and walked out, and said with a frown, "The fourth prince must have his intentions for doing this, but you, why are you getting more and more impatient?" gone?"

"Yes, I'm sorry..." Yun Qingquan lowered his head, "I don't know what's wrong, but I just don't want... don't want that child to have an accident... I don't want him to be like my elder brother, who will delay his life because he fell in love with someone from the royal family. Situ, do you know that the fourth prince's eyes are very much like the emperor's. The coldness hidden under the tenderness is the easiest to sink into. "

"Hehe, do you know?" Situ Sheng suddenly smiled and patted Yun Qingquan on the shoulder, "If the fourth prince is as affectionate and kind as you are, maybe he won't live to meet Cheng Ying at all."

Geng Zhi bandaged Yu Songling's wound with a suspicious expression on his face. He heard that Yu Songling was stabbed by Chengying, and thought that Chengying was controlled by the insect Gu again, so he hurried over, but when he saw the wound, he felt It wasn't what I thought, the wound was very shallow, and almost stopped bleeding after the medicine was applied. This is definitely not Chengying's style. Once he uses the sword, it must be a killer move.

"Master, how do you explain this move?" Geng Zhi asked in a low voice.

Yu Songling smiled and said nothing.

The next day, unknown who sent the news that the fourth prince was stabbed by a male favorite and was seriously injured. The male favorite has been imprisoned and will be executed at a later date.

"What's going on here?" Yun Qingquan became more and more curious, "How could such rumors spread in the army?"

"In just one night, everyone said that, as if someone spread it on purpose." Situ Sheng frowned.

"I ordered someone to spread the word." Yu Songling walked into the room slowly.

"What's the purpose of the fourth prince doing this?" Yun Qingquan asked puzzled.

"I'm afraid someone has already arrived at Balong Mountain before us. We are going up the mountain now, but we are throwing ourselves into a trap. Instead of doing that, it is better to lead the snake out of the hole." Yu Songling said with a smile.

"What does the fourth prince mean?" Situ Sheng asked.

Yu Songling whispered a few words, Situ Sheng and Yun Qingquan nodded in response: "Yes!"

On the second day after Yu Songling's assassination, news spread that the fourth prince was assassinated and seriously injured, and the assassin had been captured.

On the third day after Yu Songling's assassination, news spread that the identity of the assassin had been confirmed, and he was the fourth prince's favorite man.

On the fourth day of Yu Songling's assassination, a man wearing a blood-stained prison uniform was locked in an iron cage and paraded through the streets. The people on the street talked one after another, saying that he was an assassin who had been lurking in the four corners as a male favourite. Beside the prince, waiting for an opportunity to act.In the crowd, a tall man wearing a bamboo hat quietly listened to the discussion of the people around him, and kept silent.When the prison car slowly passed by, the man's eyes focused on the safety amulet half hidden in the prisoner's arms, which was embroidered with the pattern of a curly dragon.The pupils under the bamboo hat suddenly widened, and the man clenched his fists loudly.

On the fifth day of Yu Songling's assassination, at noon, the assassin was sentenced and executed on the spot.

Cheng Ying knelt on the guillotine, her hair was disheveled, covering her face.Yu Songling sat on the sidelines and watched the execution.As soon as noon came, Situ Sheng threw out the token in his hand, and the executioner raised the guillotine.Suddenly several flying knives flew out of the air, killing the executioner and the guards guarding Chengying.A few figures jumped up from the crowd watching the execution, protecting Cheng Ying's surroundings.The man wearing a bamboo hat walked towards Chengying quickly, put his hands on his shoulders, and trembled with suspicion in his voice: "No, not Mo?!"

Cheng Ying raised his head suddenly, with murderous intent in his deep black pupils, staring at the man's face, like a leopard watching its prey. .It was a very bookish face, if it wasn't for a red mark on the Yintang that exuded evil spirit, Cheng Ying would have suspected that he was a teacher.

After the man saw Chengying's face, the expectation on his face turned into deep despair and then into crazy anger.Here, Chengying hit the man several times in a row.Chengying clearly heard the sound of bones breaking, but the man stuck out a golden whip from his waist as if he didn't know the pain, and attacked Chengying frantically.

Yu Songling waved his hand, and a dozen archers lined up, drew their bows and shot at the robbers.

The golden long whip attacked Chengying like a spirit snake coming out of its hole, rolling up layers of dust, Chengying dodged quickly, waited for the opportunity, and hit the man's chest with a palm.Unexpectedly, the long whip suddenly branched out with many golden hooks, like a huge centipede with its teeth and claws open.The poisonous needle shot out from the end of the golden hook, and it rained towards Chengying.Chengying was caught off guard, and hurriedly jumped back to dodge, but felt that his left shoulder was numb, and his heart was not good. He should have been hit by an acupuncture, and before he had time to seal the acupuncture points around the wound, Chengying felt that half of his body had lost consciousness, and wanted to lift it up. He raised his arm, but couldn't exert any strength.

The man in the bamboo hat pulled Chengying over and blocked his throat.Seeing Chengying injured and captured, Yu Songling's complexion changed, he hurriedly stopped the archer, forced himself to calm down, and asked coldly, "Let's talk about a condition."

"You? Do you have the qualifications?" The man raised his eyebrows proudly, and the strength in his hands became stronger.

Suddenly there was a long howl, and a row of giant kites flew across the air. When they reached the execution ground, several big men in black jumped off each kite, protecting the man in the bamboo hat in the center.

A ferocious smile appeared on the bookish face of the man, and he said, "Yu Songling, fourth prince, do you know that this Baron Island is my world, you are so hard to fly, and now you want to negotiate terms with me? Haha~~ ~It's ridiculous!"
