Rebirth of the Phoenix

The play ends, the person returns

Ying Rushuang's eyes were lowered: "When will the General of the Cavalry arrive in Beijing?"

Ying Jinghong said: "I am using a letter from Fei Ge. After receiving the message, even if the general whips up and returns to Beijing immediately, it will take as long as seven or eight days."

General Husband was stationed in the northwest border and the northern border. Because there was no large-scale war in recent years, he lived in a city hundreds of miles away from the border, so it was easier to return to Beijing.

"Seven or eight days?" Ying Rushuang thought, "Then it will be five days. Five days later, the emperor died of illness and spent a few days in the palace to hold a funeral. When the funeral was about to end, the general returned to the capital.

, just in time to prepare for the fact that the prince ascended the throne."

At that time, with the General of the Cavalry, she will have more confidence.

Ying Jinghong said: "I understand."

After being busy all night, Ying Rushuang was tired: "Let's go and do the ransom."

As long as the prince ascended the throne, a big stone in her heart would fall to the ground, and then it would not be too late to slowly deal with the two brothers.

Ying Jinghong took the order and retreated.

Not long after, more than a dozen carriages, carrying one million taels of gold, were parked at the palace gate on the south side.

After receiving the news, Butler Situ kowtowed a few times to the Empress's dormitory before following Ying Jinghong to leave Langhuan Palace.

At the palace gate on the south side, Ying Jinghong and a few confidants escorted the Situ housekeeper back to the palace, and discussed tomorrow's affairs with the officials in the palace overnight. After discussing the fourth update, everyone fell asleep tiredly.

Before dawn the next day, more than a dozen ordinary carriages carried million taels of gold to Liyang Lake, the most famous attraction in the center of the capital.

These carriages are very ordinary and do not look conspicuous, but because the news had been spread last night, there were many good things along the way. The curious people in the capital got up early, hid in the dark and even followed behind secretly

Watch the fun.

King Xiaoyao is an idol in the minds of the people in the capital, and his actions have attracted much attention. The sky-high ransom of up to one million taels of gold is even more scary. In addition, the kidnappers' almost blatant blackmail case completely attracted the attention of the people in the capital.

Who doesn't want to see the scene with your own eyes?

Just think about throwing a million taels of gold into the lake, it is exciting enough.

Therefore, this carriage full of gold was walking along the way. Although there was no "welcome" scene, the crowds in the dark were clearly felt by everyone on the carriage.

Alas, it was such a dangerous case, but why did it seem like it was acting? The guards driving were sighing in their hearts.

The people in the capital have watched the show so early?

Those damn kidnappers kidnapped big names like Xiaoyao, don’t you know if you should be more low-key?

Are these kidnappers really kidnapped for money?

The matter is so big, how will these kidnappers take away the gold under the noses of these many people?

Even if the kidnappers lurked in the lake in advance, they could not pick up so much gold thrown into the lake one by one and take it away safely, right?

Not to mention that the government and the palace would send people to stare at Li Yanghu, even the eyes of the onlookers in the capital could keep the entire Li Yanghu in a short space. How would those kidnappers take away the gold?

No matter how I think about it, I think it is impossible, but it is more like a kidnapper deliberately making things difficult for the royal family...

These questions are the questions of the guards of the royal palace who participated in this "Save the Prince" operation, and are also the questions of all the people and nobles in the capital who heard about this matter.

Fortunately, the news was only spread last night. Many people knew about it, but not many. The convoy was driving smoothly. It arrived at Liyang Lake at dawn and then stopped around the lake respectively.

At this time, there were not many people on the shore of Liyang Lake, but there were four or five times more people nearby than usual.

Of course these people are watching the fun. They also know that something big is going to happen here, so they dare not get too close. They only dare to pass by, play, take a walk, and look busy, constantly sweeping towards the lakeside.

.

Because it was a "secret operation", the people in the royal palace did not dare to drive them away publicly, but just guarded the lake and did not let anyone get too close.

Of course, this has evolved into an open "secret operation".

"Who did you think this did it?" Luo Hongzhuang asked Ye Jiu in a low voice among the onlookers.

It was related to the life and death of King Xiaoyao, and they took the risk of walking out of their hiding place, disguised themselves and came to see what happened.

Ye Jiu whispered: "At least it's not the prince's opponent? No matter how I look at it, I don't think the kidnapper really wants the money, but it seems like he is looking for a name to see the prince back home."

If the kidnappers really want a ransom, the minimum point is that they should not offer such an outrageously high price. No matter how they are transported or taken away, they are very eye-catching. They are traded in the central government of the capital and taken away.

The ransom is even more difficult, not to mention that the news is spread everywhere in advance.

Luo Hongzhuang nodded: "I think so too. Maybe this is the action that the prince or the prince's people were forced to take to save him."

She and Ye Jiu finally escaped from the palace, so of course they first found a secret place to hide. Ye Jiu could not go out easily, so she only went out occasionally to see the situation or buy items.

But depending on her situation and conditions, she couldn't find out and didn't dare to ask about the news in the palace. She could only think that Xixian would find a way to save the prince.

As for how the prince escaped from the palace, how could it be so in this situation, she had no way of knowing, but letting her know about this incident today, that would be enough.

Anyway, she believed that the queen would not have done this "kidnapping" scene. The prince was assassinated in the palace and was seriously injured. Whether the queen wanted to clear her suspicion or kill the prince, there was no need to take such trouble.

And extra actions.

No matter what the process is, according to rumors, after these ransoms are thrown into Liyanghu, the kidnappers will let the prince return home - King Xiaoyao returns home safely, isn't it the result she and Ye Jiu want?

For the prince, being assassinated by the "kidnappers", seriously injured, kidnapped, imprisoned and released back to the mansion was a "legitimate" way home. Otherwise, she really didn't know how the prince could return even after escaping from the palace.

Go to the palace.

While they were talking in a low voice, the boxes of gold were thrown into the lake.

The onlookers and "peeders" could not see the gold clearly, but they all stood on tiptoe. Looking at the gorgeous scene, their eyes and eyes turned golden.

Ye Jiu looked at it for a while and said lightly: "You are here to watch, I'll go back first."

Luo Hongzhuang said, "Aren't you worried about the prince?"

Ye Jiu said: "I believe that he will be fine, he will definitely protect himself."

He knew in his heart that the "killers" could not take away so much gold, and Ying Rushuang could think of this, so there were probably few ingots of these gold that were real.

There must be many secret spies in the palace around the lake. Although he has disguised himself, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be targeted. It is better to leave while there are so many people now.

It was really risky for him to go out rashly, but it was related to his brother. He wanted to make sure his brother's safety no matter what, so he went out to take a look.

Although he couldn't wait for the news that his brother would return safely, now he was standing here and suddenly felt relieved and felt that his brother would be fine.

Intuition told him that this scene must have the share of his brother, so he didn't have to worry too much about his brother's affairs.

Luo Hongzhuang said: "Well, go back when I confirm that the prince is safe."

Ye Jiu didn't say anything else, and yawned a few sleepy yawning, as if he was tired of watching the show, he withdrew from the crowd calmly and walked away.

Luo Hongzhuang saw that no one was paying attention to him and followed him, so she took her eyes back with confidence and continued to look at the lake with the onlookers.

One million taels of gold, but a huge amount, it took more than a moment for dozens of big men to throw so much gold into the lake.

After finally throwing the gold, the guards of the royal palace guards guarded around the lake, anxiously waiting for news from the "killers".

The lake is quiet, dozens of pleasure boats and cruise ships are parked in a corner, unlike the usual wandering on the lake. Although there are many onlookers nearby, there are no characters who seem to be kidnappers. Those "killers" locked the prince in the end.

Where? How do you plan to release the prince?

At this time, there were more and more onlookers, inside and outside, which was as lively as the New Year. Everyone was anxious for the Xiaoyao Palace: So much gold has been scattered, if the prince did not come back or was killed, how could he be

Isn’t it that people and money are gone?

Time passes by little by little, and uneasy emotions fill the lake. Even though the weather is clear, there is a gloom here with dark clouds pressing on the top.

Suddenly, a fast horse flew over, and the sound of "Dedede" hitting the horse's hooves on the bluestone slab was very loud and instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone subconsciously felt that riding a fast horse must be related to the prince's affairs, and they all made a way out.

It was about to reach the shore, and the guard immediately shouted: "The prince is back home safely - the prince is back home safely - everyone is back home quickly and get back home to protect the prince-"

"Papa--" I don't know who started to applaud, and then everyone applauded.

The applause was like the sound of firecrackers at midnight on New Year's Eve. As soon as the first sound came, everyone would applaud, forming a wave of overwhelming sounds.

Then someone cheered: "The prince is fine-"

After the first person shouted, many people also shouted: "The prince is fine--"

The cheers and applause made Luo Hongzhuang's ears "buzz". If she hadn't known the inside story, it would be hard for her to believe that these cheers and applause were actually caused by the safe return of a kidnapped prince.

The prince's character is really not that good, she thought to herself.

I hope that such a prince can be worry-free in his life and will not be dragged into these turbid waters and will never be able to come out again.

She sighed quietly in her heart, watched the guards of the royal palace rush back to the royal palace in ecstasy, and then left silently.
