Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 579: Shock (4)
Zhou Li personally moved the chair over.
Governor Xie was very grateful and moved for such a courtesy, and sat down tremblingly.
Sitting down, I was able to take a closer look at His Royal Highness.
After taking a closer look, Governor Xie was secretly shocked: "Why is Your Highness so pale?" There was almost no blood, and he looked like a blank sheet of paper.
Zhou Li replied on his behalf: "His Royal Highness was poisoned that day. In order to remove the residual poison from his body, he had to administer needles and drink medicine every day, and he had to bleed the next day. So he looked weaker. Fortunately, Your Highness, There is no serious problem. As long as you take care of it slowly, you will be back to normal."
I'm lucky to be able to save a life.
Governor Xie sighed ashamedly: "I have known each other for more than ten years, and they have been officials in Jiangnan. They have a deep relationship with each other. I never imagined that this time, such a big trouble happened because of him."
I want to plead, but I really don't have that face.
Li Jing seemed to see through Governor Xie's mind, and said slowly: "Don't worry, I won't take anger on others. As long as I catch the real murderer and find out that it has nothing to do with Inspector Jiang Jian, I will let him go back. He has some connections, and he will only deal with him, and will not implicate the entire Jiang family."
Governor Xie breathed a sigh of relief, and clenched his hands gratefully: "Your Highness is magnanimous, and I would like to thank your Highness first on behalf of Chaplain Jiang."
As soon as the voice fell, there was a heavy knock on the door.
Zhou Li went to open the door in person, and saw Eunuch Xiao Yuan running in quickly, with cold sweat on his forehead, and his voice was hurried: "Your Highness, there are more and more gangsters outside the mansion. Rush through the side door. The personal soldiers fought hard to stop them, but we also suffered a lot of casualties."
These personal soldiers have all been with Li Jing on the battlefield, and they have been protecting Li Jing in the past few years.
Tonight, gangsters attacked the Governor's Palace at night, and casualties are inevitable. Hearing this with his own ears, Li Jing's heart still throbbed. Jun's face also turned white.
Governor Xie also took a deep breath and said angrily: "These people are really bold!"
Dare to attack the governor's mansion at night to surround and kill the prince, this is the death penalty of the nine clans!
Fang Zizhan sighed: "It's useless to say anything now, you must guard the Governor's Palace first, and never let anyone in." After a pause, he said to Governor Xie in a low voice, "His Royal Highness just said, The Jiangnan garrison may not come to rescue in time.”
Governor Xie's expression became solemn, and he looked at Li Jing.
Governor Xie, as the head of Jiangnan's civil servants, has naturally dealt with Jiangnan's generals. The original commander of the Jiangnan garrison fell ill three years ago, so he returned to his home to recuperate. The Ministry of War sent General Luo to take over the garrison.
This General Luo was once a guard in the royal forest. He followed Emperor Yongjia to reward the battlefield and made a lot of military exploits. General Luo can come to Jiangnan Barracks to be the commander-in-chief, and it was appointed by Emperor Yongjia.
Governor Xie has been secretly drawing attention to General Lowe's movements. Upon closer inspection this time, something suspicious was found. Don't say anything else, even if you drink the blood of soldiers, you will not be able to accumulate thousands of family wealth in just three years.
If General Luo was bought by the Jiangnan old clan with a lot of money and deliberately delayed his return for a few hours, the Governor's Mansion would be really dangerous tonight.
Governor Xie made a decisive decision and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, please listen to the words of the minister. The son of a thousand gold, don't sit down in the hall. Your Highness must not be in trouble."
"There is a secret passage in the Governor's Palace, and there is a secret room under the secret passage. This secret room is very hidden, and no more than three people know it. The minister will bring His Highness into the secret room. Wait until everything is settled before showing up."
Is there a secret room?
Fang Zizhan and Zhou Li's eyes lit up and said in unison, "Please enter the secret room, Your Highness."
No matter what, Li Jing can't do anything.
Li Jing made a mistake, the East Palace faction lost its foundation, and it was all over.
Li Jing said, "It's not that far yet. Besides, if these people rush into the mansion, it's useless for me to hide in the secret room."
Governor Xie wanted to persuade him, but Li Jing already looked over and said, "I know all your thoughts. But, at this time, I, the prince, only cherishes his own life, doesn't it make the hearts of the soldiers who are desperately cold? I'm too weak to get up and show my face, or at least lie down here in peace."
Li Jing looks gentle, but is actually very assertive. What he decides will not be easily changed.
Governor Xie reluctantly stopped.
……
In the long wait, time is particularly slow and difficult.
Fires erupted from time to time in the Governor's House and were quickly extinguished. The sound of random arrows, the scream of pain after being injured, and the sound of swords intersecting, mixed together, which was shocking.
In the darkness, a group of people appeared out of nowhere and rushed to the Governor's Palace one after another. Killed a group, and another group. It seems endless.
Several streets near the Governor's Mansion were punctuated by the cries of awakened children. He was quickly covered again, accompanied by a trembling cry: "Don't shout! Cry again, and someone will rush over."
Ordinary people can't wait to put their heads in the ground, not to hear these terrible noises and movements.
There are also many pairs of eyes, watching all this in the dark, their eyes flashing with excitement.
First kill the prince, then set fire to the Governor's Palace.
The reinforcements sent by the imperial court had only left for a few days, and by the time they arrived in Jiangnan ~IndoMTL.com~ the capital of the prince's corpse was cold. At that time, it is useless for the emperor to be angry. When the emperor chooses a wise prince as the heir, Jiangnan will be able to breathe a sigh of relief.
Inside the fence of the Governor's Mansion, a group of personal soldiers stared at the fence with sharp knives. Once someone climbed over the fence, they would immediately shoot and kill them in the future.
An hour has passed. The ground is full of corpses, including gangsters who attacked at night, as well as their own people. Blood flowed across the ground, soaking the ground standing under his feet.
Another hour passed.
Lu Yi held a long knife in his hand, Sen Han's knife light reflected on his blood-stained face, his eyes were full of hostility.
Whoosh whoosh!
A shower of arrows flew from the wall.
A group of personal soldiers blocked with their weapons. Someone was hit by an arrow, screamed miserably, and fell down. Another blast of rockets flew and landed on the house, causing a burst of fire. The fire was put out immediately. Taking advantage of this onslaught, more than a dozen gangsters climbed the wall.
Lu Yi clenched the handle of the knife tightly, and the anger in his eyes became heavier.
The personal soldier beside him gritted his teeth and said, "Commander Lu, these **** have spotted us here and kept shooting arrows. We've been here all the time, it's too passive."
Another personal soldier hurriedly said: "Yes, why don't we rush out and kill yourself. It's too useless and embarrassing to stay here and be beaten like this."
Lu Yi gave them a fierce look: "Shut up!"
Can't he think of such a simple thing?
However, the situation outside is unknown. Once you rush out, the manor will not have enough troops, and someone will rush in and hurt His Royal Highness. What should you do? Maybe, the villain on the opposite side is deliberately trying to force them out of the house.
No matter how frustrated you are, you have to endure it.
