Rebirth of the Phoenix

Million ransom

He secretly asked someone to go to the palace to find out the news. The palace gates were strengthened, and it was difficult to enter and exit. He could not find out about the prince. In addition, the two gates in the southeast of the capital were blocked. The court said it was to pursue the fugitive, but he

I felt uneasy and felt that something might have happened in the palace, right?

The incident of a head appearing at the prince's wedding banquet has spread secretly in the upper reaches of the capital. He was so nervous that he always felt that his prince would not stand by and watch such things, and might get into trouble.

Things went out.

For this reason, as long as he is fine, he will sooner or later stand under the eaves in front of the palace, looking at the avenue in front of him, hoping that the prince will appear.

It was all dark, and the lanterns under the eaves reflected his figure a little bleak.

After standing for a long time, he sighed sadly: Prince, it seems that he will not come back today.

For a moment, he suddenly felt: Prince, shouldn't he never come back?

What were you thinking? He laughed silently. Who is the prince? He is so young, how could he never come back?

Patting his forehead, he turned around and prepared to enter the room.

However, at this moment, the extremely rapid sound of horse hooves came from behind. On the silent and deserted avenue, the "Dedede" sound was filled with uneasy messages.

Who is "moving racing" in front of the palace?

He turned around and looked at the street.

A tall horse with a black head rushed to a place ten feet away in front of him like lightning. With the light of the dark street lights, he saw the man wearing black clothes and masked faces on his horse, and felt murderous intent, and he was about to enter.

The momentum of the royal palace.

He narrowed his eyes and shouted: "Come, defend—"

As soon as he finished speaking, several guards rushed out of the gate. Some people set their bows and arrows, and some people drew their swords in their hands, staring at the dark horse that suddenly came out.

The dark horse slowed down, and the masked man in black appeared in his hand at some point. Before they could react, he suddenly shot an arrow.

The sound of the arrow breaking through the air is very loud, and people within dozens of meters nearby can probably hear it.

"Be careful." Butler Situ shouted.

Because of the darkness ahead, they could not see the arrow at all, and they did not know who the arrow was going to shoot.

Dinglingling-Dingling-Ding!

The arrow shot steadily on the black wooden door of the royal palace.

Butler Situ then saw that the arrow was equipped with a small bell that could make ringtones.

The people who shoot archers are really strange. They are wearing black clothes and masks, obviously just trying to cover up their eyes and ears, but they still make such loud sounds of riding horses and archery sounds, as if they are afraid that people will not know about it. Is there anything wrong with it?

The rushing sound of horse hooves sounded again.

He looked over and the masked man shot the arrow and immediately turned his head, sagging like lightning, and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.

This horse suddenly appeared and disappeared suddenly. In just a few blinks, it was really like a ghost.

Not only the Butler Situ and the Guards, but also the Dawen spies lying ambushed around him, could not see where he came from.

The spies of the Damen quickly split up a few people and chased the horse in the direction of the horse, but the other party was riding a horse, and they were quickly thrown away with their legs. The sound of horse hooves disappeared at the corner of the street, indicating that they rode a horse.

They may have dismounted or hid somewhere.

After all, it was dark and the sound of horse hooves was very loud. The person who came to eliminate the sound so quickly was enough to show that he did not want to be discovered.

If you don’t want to be discovered, it means that there is a ghost in his heart!

In front of the gate of the royal palace, Butler Situ called on the guards who wanted to chase after him: "Stop chasing, you can't catch up."

Then, he took off the arrow from the door with force.

There was a paper roll tied to the arrow, and it seemed that the other party was here to report the news.

He unfolded the paper roll, saw the text on it, gasped, his face changed, and his body stiffened.

"Uncle Butler, what is written in the letter?" Several guards came over to look.

After seeing the words written on it, the faces of several guards also changed and they looked at each other.

A man waved his sword and said, "I'll chase him right away, I must catch that bastard!"

Another man grabbed him: "If someone is prepared, can you catch it? Besides, what is the ability of the prince to easily make people catch it? I see that the letter cannot be written in full..."

"No, what the letter said may be true!" Butler Situ quickly reacted, shook the arrow in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "You see this!"

Several guards stared at the arrow's under-end, and their eyes became round: the end of the arrow was not only tied with two small bells, but also a jasper ring!

This ring is about an inch tall, with a clear and green color, almost no impurities, and is polished to be moist and delicate. Although the shape is simple, it is the best one. They can recognize it at a glance. This is the jade ring worn by the prince!

Butler Situ took off the jade ring and aimed the hole at the light. The word "Xiaoyao" engraved on the inner wall is clearly visible.

It's the prince's thing!

The faces of the group of people became ugly, angry and worried.

With this ring as evidence, they had to think that the prince's kidnapping was somewhat credible.

But, isn’t the prince in the palace? How could he be kidnapped?

Also, with the skills of the prince, Dongxian and Xixian, who can kidnap the prince?

"Damn!" A guard finally couldn't help it and snatched, "I'll call my brothers right away, I have to find that bastard! This capital is the prince's territory, I don't believe that I can't hold on to these things.

The leopard's daring kidnapper..."

"Shut up!" Butler Situ drank him, "Don't do anything. I'll go to the palace to see His Highness the Crown Prince and the Empress, and ask them to allocate a million taels of gold to me, and we will pay the ransom early tomorrow morning!"

Several guards were stunned for a moment, and then someone shouted: "We will do whatever the kidnappers want us to do. Where will the face of our Xiaoyao Palace go? With the ability of our Xiaoyao Palace, we are afraid that the kidnappers will not succeed? In my opinion,

We should find out their old nests and kill them without leaving them..."

"That's right! I don't believe that someone at the foot of the emperor dares to take the prince's life! We have to give them some color..."

"Shut up!" Butler Situ shouted angrily, "The prince is now in their hands, and they have the final say in their hands. You don't think about the prince's safety, but you are thinking about face and venting anger. Are you worthy of the prince like this?

”

Hearing his yell, the guards were all wilted.

"We don't care about the prince. We just think that the kidnappers cannot believe what they say. We have prepared the money. What should we do if they don't let anyone go?"

"We heard of the kidnappers this time. The kidnappers will kidnap our prince in the future. That's not bad..."

"After the prince is safe, will it be better to find the kidnappers and kill them all?" Although the housekeeper Situ is a little older, it is also ruthless enough to be cruel, "The prince is in their hands, Dongxian and Xixian are probably going to be in their hands.

They also stopped us. We only have one night to prepare. It is too risky to spend one night to find the kidnappers! At the moment, we can only listen to the kidnappers first, and it is not too late to vent our anger after the prince is safe!"

A group of guards thought about it and had to say, "That's all, I'm afraid they won't let anyone go if they take the money..."

"Hmph," Situ Butler Humph, "I want to find these kidnappers. Now I can only pay the ransom and have the chance to find them when the kidnappers go to get the ransom. The real contest begins after paying the ransom.

Now, I will go to the palace to report the letter and ask the palace for money. You should quickly notify all the guards in the palace and send some people to ambush around Liyang Lake first, and the other people will be on standby and respond to the palace."

"Old man, if the kidnappers find out, let's inform the palace, will the kidnappers kill and silence them?"

"The letter did not say that it was not allowed to report to the official! I think the kidnapper is very arrogant. Eighty-mostly he has arranged a retreat. He is confident and is not afraid that we will make a big deal. In short, let's not make a name for this matter, don't let people know.

I'll go to the palace to report the news, don't let people discover the ambush you can do it?"

A group of guards patted their chests and promised: "Old man, don't worry, we will do it without anyone knowing it."

Most of them come from the world and are experts selected by the prince himself. They have experience and skills in doing such things.

Butler Situ nodded: "This matter is known to heaven and earth, we know, so don't let others know, otherwise the kidnappers will not get the money because of this, and the prince will be in danger!"

The group of people nodded.

After discussing for a while, Butler Situ took a few guards and a light cart, set off from the small gate of the royal palace and ran into the palace in the dark.

The palace has been strictly guarded recently, and it is not allowed to enter and exit after dark. However, but Butler Situ said that King Xiaoyao was in danger of his life and had to meet the queen immediately. The guards guarding the palace gate did not dare to be careless and quickly reported to the queen.

Empress.

Ying Rushuang was thinking about how to announce it tomorrow and deal with the news of the death of King Xiaoyao. Suddenly, when she received such a report, she had to stop thinking and summon the Situ Butler.

Could it be that King Xiaoyao has appeared outside the palace or returned to the palace?

If this is true, why is there no news coming from outside the palace?

Or is this what happened just now, and the spies outside the palace had not had time to send back the news?

She glanced at Ying Jinghong, and Ying Jinghong immediately understood and whispered: "Empress, my subordinates will go out of the palace to see what's going on."

Ying Rushuang nodded, and Ying Jinghong's figure disappeared.

A moment later, butler Situ was taken to Langhuan Palace.

As soon as he saw the queen, the housekeeper Situ knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly: "Empress, the prince was kidnapped by the criminals. The criminal asked the prince's mansion to pay a ransom of one million taels of gold before he was willing to release the prince. The villain only had one night to prepare.

, I am really desperate, I come to ask the Empress to save the prince!"

The prince was kidnapped, of course, he had to report to the emperor and the queen as soon as possible. In addition, it was because the prince's mansion could not take out a million taels of gold overnight.
