Little Cardamom

The guard was obviously stunned. When he saw the princess jade card in Ming Tan's hand, he quickly bowed and said respectfully: "My subordinate failed to recognize Wangfei, please forgive me, Wangfei wait a moment, this subordinate will pass on the information to you. .”

There are all martial arts practitioners in the room, and the voices outside can be clearly heard.

Several military generals who had hidden in the secret room of the palace and listened to private conversations couldn't help but look at Jiang Xu. The princess has all come to Bieyulou...

Jiang Xu was silent for a moment, and the guards had already passed the message outside the door.

He turned back: "Come in."

Not long after, Ming Tan followed the guards into the house.

She just stopped at the door, wearing a young servant's blue shirt, not wearing a single hairpin on her hair, and not wearing any makeup on her face.

Jiang Xu looked at her, and for some reason suddenly thought that if she usually saw such people but dressed up like this, she would be so ashamed and annoyed that she would find a way to sneak in.

The surroundings were very quiet, and the two looked at each other.

When Jiang Xu slightly raised his hand, the generals in the room understood and retreated. Mr. Zhou was at the end, and when he passed by Ming Tan, he paused for a while, Ming Tan glanced at him, that glance was too fast, and he couldn't see any emotion.

Soon, there were only Yu Jiangxu and Ming Tan in the room, and Ming Tan walked forward slowly, but she stopped when she was about ten feet away from Jiang Xu.

"You came out of the secret passage?" Jiang Xu asked first.

Ming Tan stared at him fixedly, but didn't respond.

"That secret passage is not safe, it has collapsed inside, so don't leave in the future."

"So it was because of the collapse that Mr. Zhou had to leave through the back door of the palace that night?"

Jiang Xu pursed his lips, noncommittal.

It is true that Mr. Zhou is someone he deliberately placed next to Duke Chang, but there are more or less one or two people around the senior officials in the court, either belonging to Emperor Chengkang and him, or belonging to the Queen Mother Su. There is nothing to explain.

He changed the subject and said: "This is not a place to talk, I will let the hidden guards take you back to the mansion first, and I will return to the mansion tomorrow..."

"Is there anything you can't just say now and have to wait until tomorrow? Jiang Qizhi, look at me, do you still want to tell me to believe you?" Ming Tan's eyes turned red suddenly, and he interrupted him violently, talking back Nodded, "I would like to believe you, but my father has been convicted of collaborating with the enemy and treason. What is the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason? What can you not tell me? You have to wait! That is my father, my clansman , I don’t even understand why you married me, how do you want me to wait and believe?!”

Jiang Xu wanted to step forward, but Ming Tan subconsciously took a step back.

Jiang Xu didn't know what he was thinking. For a long while, he turned his back to Ming Tan, and suddenly ordered: "Come here, take the princess back to the mansion. Without this king's order, no one is allowed to enter or leave the Dingbei Palace. Everything will wait for the king to return tomorrow." The government will discuss it again."

As soon as he finished speaking, two shadow guards flashed out and stopped in front of Ming Tan.

Ming Tan was startled.

He just didn't like to take the initiative to speak before, but now she asks, he doesn't speak anymore. Did he treat her seriously as his wife for a moment?

"Princess, please."

Ming Tan moved back slowly, took a few steps back, and just as she was about to turn around, several carved windows in the silent room suddenly opened! Ming Tan raised his eyes, and saw several feathered arrows nailed to the window casement!

Without the cover of the window, the feathered arrow broke through the wind and shot straight at Jiang Xu from the depths of the dark night.

I don't know if Jiang Xu was prepared, he pulled out the sword thrown on the table of the Eight Immortals, the blade of the sword reflected a dazzling white light, clanged several times, and all the feathered arrows scattered on the ground, he turned his head and ordered in a deep voice: " Protect the princess and leave!"

"Be careful!" The dark guard was about to answer, Ming Tan's gaze paused, and he suddenly stepped forward to pounce on Jiang Xu.

Jiang Xu reacted very quickly, subconsciously pushed her away, turned slightly sideways, and when the cold arrow passed by, he picked up his sword sharply and knocked her to the ground.

Unexpectedly, a little later than this arrow, there was another arrow coming from the carved window in the west, it was not aimed at Jiang Xu, but at Ming Tan.

"A Tan!" He stepped forward to catch Ming Tan who was about to fall with a muffled grunt, because he pushed the arrow slightly, and only hit Ming Tan's shoulder, but the arrow was poisoned and glowed with a faint cold light. The blood smeared from Ming Tan's shoulder was stained black.

Jiang Xu's eyes were heavy, and he quickly touched a few acupuncture points around him and said, "Call Imperial Physician Feng to come up."

The moment the arrow hit her shoulder, Ming Tan's five senses seemed to disappear. It wasn't until she fell into Jiang Xu's arms and moved a little that she felt the severe pain that quickly spread to her limbs and bones. Beads of sweat were profuse, and the color of his lips suddenly turned pale.

But she endured the pain, her eyes were red, and she said in a trembling voice: "This arrow is definitely going to shoot you, shoot, miss. No matter what I say... it is also for you to block this arrow, no matter what, you let it go Jing'an Hou Mansion, okay?"

She knew that with his ability, it was not too difficult to hide the arrows, but if she didn't take advantage of her kindness, how could she plead for mercy. No matter whether he uses it or likes it, in the end, there is always a relationship of kindness between her and him.

Jiang Xu didn't answer this question, the murderous aura that he usually suppressed suddenly overflowed, he hugged Mingtan with one hand, and held the sword in the other hand, the sword light turned, and the poisoned feather arrows were knocked down one by one, For the last arrow, he held the hilt of the sword with his backhand and swiped it out in the air. The arrow broke in two and fell to the ground.

The lurking Jin Yunwei were all dispatched in the dark night, and after two rounds of arrow rain, they surrounded this group of fine archers who were the most proud of the Queen Mother, and who were not easy to get out.

The signal is released.

The hidden guard in the room also slowly put the sword back into the scabbard, and asked Jiang Xu for instructions.

Jiang Xu didn't raise his eyes, he just uttered a word: "Kill."

The dark guard paused, when the Holy Majesty discussed with the Lord earlier, it seemed that he intended to take this group of fine archers for his own use... He didn't say much, took the order, and sneaked into the dark night.

…

"This poison can be cured. I happened to get a snow grass earlier, but Wang Hao needs to pull out the arrow immediately, otherwise I may lose too much blood and the wound may be infected." Doctor Feng's voice was very low, trembling slightly. , "However, I don't have enough strength, I'm afraid I won't be able to pull it out once, and it will only increase the pain for the princess."

Jiang Xu didn't ask any more questions, and sat down beside the bed.

"I'll draw the arrow for you, bear with it."

Hearing of drawing the arrow, Ming Tan desperately shook his head, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead: "No, I'm afraid!"

"If you don't pull out the arrow, you will die from blood loss."

Hearing "death", Ming Tan flinched, but her resistance was still obvious, but it still hurts if she didn't pull it out, and now she felt that she was going to die.

She never thought that she would have today, tears were falling, her eyes and nose were all red.

After a while, she weakly let go: "Then, then I will let you draw the arrow, and you promise me to let Jing'anhou's mansion go, okay?"

"Leave the Jing'an Hou Mansion alone?" Jiang Xu looked down at her, his voice indifferent, "Impossible."

Ming Tan's teary eyes were dim, and he suddenly raised his head to look at him. To be honest, no matter how much she thought, she never thought that she was already in such a state. He would not let go of her begging him like this, and he would not show any compassion, so she He just doesn't have the slightest status in his heart, so——

"what--!"

Ming Tan was still in the shock of Jiang Xu's ruthless and decisive turn, and she couldn't recover. Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in her shoulder, and she couldn't help screaming. Just before the pain was so painful that she lost consciousness and passed out, she There is only a dim glimpse of being pulled out. The **** arrow that came out, and Jiang Xu's slightly loose face.
