Chapter 109: Silver Owl

Rong Ke’s words melted into the wind, and Princess Hejing almost thought she heard it wrong, she was stunned for a moment, and then screamed: “Rong Ke, you dare!”

King Jiang An was also frightened, and shouted: “I am the King of Jiang An, and the Queen Mother Wu is still waiting in the palace. Please be safe. Who of you dares to touch me?”

After Rong Ke finished speaking, he put his hands behind his back indifferently and said nothing. A noisy discussion broke out in the crowd: “That’s King Jiang An…”

It was as if people couldn’t hear him. King Jiang An was struggling violently. The other silver-masked men held him tightly, while the man on the left pulled out his knife and wiped it towards King Jiang An’s neck as soon as his wrist was turned.

“Ah!” He Jing’s voice suddenly stopped the sky.

Jiang An Wang’s eyes widened, he never thought until he died that Rong Ke would dare to come. He is Empress Dowager Wu’s favorite grandson. No one in the court dares to offend him. He is also Rong Ke’s elder. In front of so many people, how dare Rong Ke…

Jiang Anwang fell softly to the ground, her eyes staring straight ahead, Rong Ke how dare she?

He Jing has gone completely crazy, she almost thought it was a dream, but the **** smell that rushed to the nose was really outrageous. An idea suddenly rushed into He Jing’s mind, Rong Wentai died, and their hope for the revival of the prince’s lineage was completely extinguished.

Eunuch Zhang slid softly to the ground, and muttered in despair: “Prince King, dead…”

“Rong Ke, you have to die!” He Jing rushed towards Rong Ke emotionally, and was stopped by the silver-faced guards beside Rong Ke halfway. Xue Liang’s knife was right in front of Hejing County Master, but Hejing kept rushing forward, cursing constantly: “Your family kills brother and uncle, there will definitely be retribution in the future! If you dare to kill my brother, I will be a ghost. I won’t let you go, but I want to see what happens to you in the future when you act like this!”

Rong Ke walked out, the black man in silver mask automatically followed behind her, Rong Ke said as she walked: “Hejing County Lord is not very conscious, pull her down.”

He Jing was dragged back, still shouting: “Rong Ke, you exterminate your family and kill your relatives, you must not die! I curse you, you have no kinship, no children, Aren’t you scheming, I curse you to live in scheming and betrayal all your life, and never get the sincerity of others!”

Rong Ke stopped. The people around felt inappropriate when they heard these words, and when they saw Rong Ke stop, a silver-faced man waved his hand, indicating that his subordinates would knock out the Lord of Jing County.

But Rong Ke stopped his movements and continued to walk forward unmoved: “Let her say it, it doesn’t matter.”

He Jing was quickly dragged away, and she could still hear her voice in the distance: “…you wait, sooner or later, your brothers, relatives, subordinates, and husbands will betray you, You will never end well…”

In the night sky, only the sound of peace and quiet echoed, and it sounded extremely mournful.

“Your Highness…” Someone whispered, Rong Ke waved his hand, indicating that he didn’t need to say anything more. “I’m fine, don’t say anything.”

The dignitaries were invited to the banquet today. It was a happy occasion. Who would have thought it would turn out like this. Hu Ji, who accompanied the wine, huddled in the corner, and when she saw Rong Ke coming, she hurriedly moved away. Even the most insufferable dudes stepped back one after another, and a group of people watched Rong Ke go out.

“All the men were executed, the female family members poured a bowl of safflower, and none of the blood of King Jiang An shall be preserved.”

When Rong Ke said this, he was in front of everyone, and he didn’t mean to avoid it at all. The person in the lead responded, then turned sideways and sent Rong Ke away first.

This team is obviously also Rong Ke’s subordinates. When the two teams passed by by mistake, the two standing at the head of the team both glanced at each other, and through the masks, they briefly glanced at each other, and then both looked back.

Rong Ke had already reached the gate of the courtyard. When she was about to go out, Rong Ke stopped and turned to look at everyone in the courtyard.

The bodyguards in black and silver also stopped and lined up behind Rong Ke.

“I’m disturbing your interest.” Rong Ke said with a smile, “Another day, I will hold a banquet for you to make up for it.”

In other mansions in Chang’an City, it was also difficult to sleep at night.

At this moment, the Gao Shou Tang is brightly lit, and many people are sitting in the house. The old lady’s hair was in a messy bun. At first glance, she was just woken up. Xiao Ying and Wu Junru were also there, sitting with the old lady.

Today is a banquet with the Lord of Jing County. Wu Junru took her daughters to Zheng’an Houfu for a banquet. They are female family members, and there are girls who have not left the cabinet. Naturally, they cannot spend the night outside, but other guests have no such scruples. Many male guests will drink happily until the night, and live directly in Zheng’an Hou’s mansion after curfew. The Marquis of Zheng’an Mansion is the husband’s family of the Lord Hejing, and she is married to the second son of the Marquis of Zheng’an. Although Hejing is only the second daughter-in-law, she has an extraordinary background and is supported by the Empress Dowager Wu in the palace. She has a very high status in the Zhenganhou mansion. The Princess Hejing lived so comfortably at her husband’s house, and I don’t know how many young girls secretly envied him, but who would have thought that after an unusual banquet, there was suddenly a strange noise in the mansion of the Marquis of Zheng’an.

Wu Junru had already fallen asleep. She had just fallen asleep when she suddenly heard cluttered footsteps outside, and was then pushed awake by the maid: “Madam, something happened outside!”

In the middle of the night, something happened suddenly? Wu Junru was so frightened that other courtyards of Hou Mansion also turned on the lights one after another. After a while, a message came from the old lady’s courtyard, asking everyone from all rooms to come to her.

Wu Junru met Xiao Ying at the old lady’s place. Xiao Ying did not rest with her tonight. After seeing Xiao Ying, Wu Junru squatted and asked “Master Hou”, and then sat next to Xiao Ying , asked: “What happened outside?”

Xiao Ying said: “I have sent someone out to inquire, and should be back soon.”

Cheng Huizhen lives at the old lady’s house as usual today. When she heard this sentence, she was suddenly startled and asked, “What time is it today?”

Others were puzzled by this sentence, and the maid replied in a low voice, “Miss Hui Biao, today is the sixth day of the sixth day.”

“Sixth in February?”

The old lady and others became more and more strange, but Wu Junru heard something. She asked Cheng Huizhen vaguely: “Is there anything wrong with this day?”

Cheng Huizhen’s face turned extremely white in an instant, and the whole person looked as if she had lost her soul: “This year is the second month of the leap, so I forgot…”

Cheng Hui really behaved so strangely that even Xiao Ying turned his eyes suspiciously. Wu Junru was startled, and was thinking about how to remind Cheng Huizhen. Just at this time, the little servant who was inquiring about the news came back, and everyone’s attention was immediately diverted: “What’s going on outside!”

The little servant swallowed his saliva and said breathlessly, “Master Ji, Madam Ji, Princess Ganning is back!”

“She’s not dead?” The old lady and Wu Junru exclaimed at the same time, but the old lady was an accident, while Wu Junru was frightened.

“Yes, the eldest princess is not only well, she seems to have brought some people back and went directly to the Marquis of Zheng’an. The shouting tonight came from the Marquis of Zheng’an.”

“Going to the Marquis of Zheng’an? That’s for Princess Hejing. What’s going on in the Marquis of Zheng’an?”

The little servant shook his head and said he didn’t know, while they were talking, another man hurried in and knelt down: “Master Hou, there was news from the Feng family just now that King Jiang An is dead .”

“Dead!” All the female relatives screamed. The old lady was shocked into a cold sweat. Wu Junru couldn’t recover for a long time, but Xiao Ying was the first to calm down and asked, “Did Gan Ning do it?”

“Yes. I heard that in front of the Princess Hejing and all the guests, Princess Ganning personally ordered King Jiang An to be killed.”

“My God…” The old lady clutched her forehead and fell backwards. The maids hurriedly supported her. Xiao Ying hurriedly stood up and said, “Hurry and help mother go back to rest!”

In an instant, the main room was empty, except for Wu Junru and the lost Cheng Huizhen, there were only a few maids left.

Wu Junru walked up to Cheng Huizhen and asked in a low voice, “Do you know about this?”

Cheng Huizhen smiled bitterly and closed her eyes: “Of course I know.” She died today in her previous life, how could she not know?

Wu Junru roared angrily: “Then why didn’t you say it earlier!” As soon as the words came out, the maids all looked in this direction, Wu Junru quickly restrained her expression, lowered her voice and roared: “This kind of It’s a big deal, why are you hiding it from us?”

“I thought it was over!” Cheng Huizhen’s emotions were also out of control, “How could I have thought that this year is the second month of the leap, and the previous life was this day! I thought it was over…”

Cheng Huizhen covered her face and cried, Wu Junru sat for a while, and said dryly: “It’s too late to say anything now. King Jiang An is dead, I’m afraid I won’t be able to talk to the Princess Jing. At the end of the day, the things we planned were completely broken up, and maybe we even made wedding clothes for them.”

“Why do you make wedding gowns for others?” Cheng Huizhen asked, sobbing, “We wanted to find ways to kill King Jiang An, but now Gan Ning is doing it, isn’t it just right?”

Stupid! Wu Junru’s anger went straight to her forehead, she gritted her teeth and said, “The premise for us to bring down King Jiang An is that Gan Ning is dead! If she dies, the little emperor will not be afraid, and then remove King Jiang An and King Zheng. He is the best candidate for succession. But now that Gan Ning has stabbed him, and King Jiang An is dead, who do you think she will target next? It’s a shame that we have offended the Queen Mother Wu for nothing. Erosion of rice.”

Cheng Huizhen opened her mouth in surprise: “This is so! But how did Gan Ning appear in Chang’an City? Besides, isn’t she afraid of Queen Mother Wu, how dare she kill King Jiang An?”

“Who knows.” Wu Junru fell to the ground in frustration. Gan Ning had been missing for so long, and everyone wondered if she was dead. However, she suddenly appeared in Chang’an with someone and killed everyone by surprise. When the Empress Dowager Wu and Empress Dowager Cui responded tomorrow, King Jiang An’s The bones are getting cold, what’s the use? Empress Dowager Cui Gui is the empress dowager, with a son-in-law and a family behind her, so she did not dare to attack King Jiang An directly.

Wu Junru felt her scalp tingle: “She doesn’t care about her reputation at all. I’m afraid this world is about to change…”

Xiao Ying stood in the bedroom, watching everyone help the old lady go to bed. Although his people are standing here, their eyes have been staring at nothingness.

King Jiang An died, he chewed on this sentence for a long time, and after a while, suddenly asked: “Where is Xiao Jingduo? Didn’t he fall with Gan Ning, now Gan Ning back, what about him?”

The lights in the Marquis of Chengxi were also dimly lit. Although there was still a curfew outside, all the prefectures quietly sent people out to inquire. There was no master in the mansion of the Marquis of Chengxi, and the maids had long ago panicked. After hearing the movement in the city, they became more and more afraid.

With a sigh of relief: “What!”

“What I see is absolutely true. There are constantly people in black clothes coming and going outside our mansion. The people from Jinwuwei are standing on the side, and they don’t even dare to stop them.”

Jin Wuwei is in charge of curfew and dormitory guards. During the non-war period, anyone who breaks the curfew can be killed on the spot. But now they don’t even dare to do it, which shows how terrifying the identity of the other party is.

“Sister Qinghan, what should I do? There has been no news since Mr. Hou disappeared. Now there is chaos outside, what should we do?”

Qinghan’s palms were full of cold sweat, she forced her voice to stabilize, and said: “Don’t panic, since the other party walked past our mansion but Qiu did not commit any crimes, it means that at least we have not Dangerous. There is chaos outside now, and we have to be more and more stable, and we must not follow our own feet. Cardinals, you continue to go out to inquire about the news, Green Fern, you can follow me to inspect the main courtyard of Hou Ye, and you must not be caught by the young Generations fish in troubled waters.”

Qiu Ju was also panicked. After hearing this, she stood up and said, “I’ll go with you.”

A few of them held the lamps and supported each other as they walked towards the main courtyard of the Marquis of Chengxi. In the center is the main courtyard of the Hou Mansion, which is Xiao Jingduo’s residence, and more importantly, the study is also there, I don’t know how many important things are stored. A few days ago, after the news of Xiao Jingduo’s disappearance from Luoya was sent back to the Hou Mansion, Qinghan made a decisive decision and ordered people to seal the main courtyard and strictly guard it, just because he was afraid that some servants would stare at the main courtyard. Now that the situation outside is unclear, Qinghan’s first thought is the safety of Xiao Jingduo’s study.

However, this time, as soon as they walked in, they found that the door of the main courtyard was opened. Qinghan snorted in her heart and ran inside immediately, and Qiu Ju hurriedly followed. The yard was extraordinarily quiet, only the light was on in the study room. They slammed the door open and saw a figure looking up from behind the light.

Qiu Ju was stunned for a while, then suddenly cried and shouted: “Da Langjun!”

Since Xiao Jingduo was made a marquis, Qiu Ju has rarely called him this way. Qinghan and the others also had tears in their eyes: “Master Hou, you’re back!”

Xiao Jingduo straightened up from behind the case and covered the scroll with ease. “You’ve worked so hard this time.”

“Where is this, Lord Hou, it’s the biggest happy event for you to be fine.” Qinghan asked, “Master Hou, when did you come back? Do you need to invite your husband to take a look?”

Xiao Jingduo fell down the cliff with Princess Ganning, Qinghan was worried about Xiao Jingduo’s injury, that’s why she asked this question.

Xiao Jingduo waved his hand: “No.”

“Master Hou, when did you come back, why didn’t you tell us?” Qiu Ju asked tentatively, “How’s the outside?”

Many people want to know this, but Qinghan has some scruples, only Qiu Ju asked directly. Several maids raised their ears, Xiao Jingduo paused, and said calmly, “I’ll go back to the city with His Highness Gan Ning, and then I’ll go back to the Hou Mansion. I don’t know what’s going on outside.”

Qiu Ju wanted to ask again, but was stopped by Qing Han. “As long as there is no danger, we will not disturb Hou Ye’s rest.”

Push it all.”

“Slave understands.”

He stood up, walked to the window and looked across.

The Princess Qianning Mansion opposite is standing quietly in the night.

No one slept well that night, the sky was getting brighter, and the number of people at the gate of Miyagi gradually increased.

There is no need for an early morning today, but the officials came surprisingly early. When they met colleagues on the way, they all gathered together and whispered. It snowed again last night, and now there is white fog everywhere. A waiter was exchanging messages with others in a low voice, when he suddenly found that everyone else had stopped.

He turned around and saw a group of people walking through the morning mist. The leader was wearing a scarlet cloak, under the cloak was a complicated black skirt, followed by more than ten guards. The faces of these guards were covered with a silver mask.

The courtiers silently stepped aside, Rong Ke rode a horse, walked across the road separated by everyone, and walked into the palace gate. At the Chengtian Gate, the drums were still beating to announce the dawn, and a woman in red suddenly rode her horse, taking the lead, and ran quickly along the gallop to the Taiji Palace. Horseback riding was forbidden in the palace, and she was the only one galloping in the snow.

The gate of the palace is clearly locked, and it is difficult to reason about what happened at night in the palace. But at this time today, Emperor Rong Lang was already waiting on the steps of Tai Chi Palace. Seeing the red shadow in the snow, Rong Lang quickly ran down the steps: “Sister!”

Rong Ke got off the horse and reached out to hold Rong Lang’s hand. “Have you been frightened by anyone these days?”

“No!” Rong Lang replied in dissatisfaction, and moved in the direction of Rong Ke, “Sister, you are finally back, my mother and I are very worried these days. you.”

“Did they embarrass you during my absence?”

Rong Lang shook his head and said to Rong Ke worriedly: “Sister, Rong Wentai is dead, what should you do?”

As soon as the palace gate opened, the Princess Jing entered the palace, and now the Empress Dowager Wu must have a frying pan. Rong Wentai was dead, and Rong Lang was very relieved, but he was worried about his sister. With the Queen Mother Wu’s temperament, I’m afraid she would not let it go.

Rong Ke smiled indifferently: “Everyone is dead, what can she do? You study with Taifu, you don’t need to worry about these things.”

“Sister!” Rong Lang shouted loudly, very dissatisfied with Rong Ke’s attitude. But he also knew this was a fact, Rong Lang kept silent, after a while, he said decisively, “Sister, I will grow up quickly.”

“Okay.” Rong Ke smiled, “I’ll wait.”

Rong Ke suddenly thought of what Hejing said last night. He Jing said that Rong Ke would live in calculation and betrayal all her life, and the piercing and sharp voice still seemed to be ringing in her ears. Rong Ke thought ironically that she was born in such a family and had been dealing with intrigues since she was a child. Even her grandfather said that she was born to play tricks and tricks. How about calculating in a lifetime, no one can count her anyway.

In the second year of Qianyuan, a name spread quietly and quickly in the empire with the death of King Jiang An.

It was a group of mysterious teams dressed in black with silver faces and only obeying the orders of Princess Ganning. For many years after that, their names were always associated with Princess Ganning. What’s more, these mysterious people with masks became symbols of the Qianning era.

None of them ever mentioned or admitted, but miraculously, their names were quickly known to Kyushu.

The war owl in the dark night, the silver owl guard.
