"Why do you want to stop the peace talks and cause war between the two countries?" Bai Yuxian asked.
Marquis Wen Yuan said easily: "Because I hate the Western Kingdom. My three sons died in the western battlefield. It is impossible for me to live in harmony with the Western Kingdom. I want to avenge my son, so I want to take over the Dongchen Kingdom."
strength!"
Wenhou Houfu was originally a famous family in the capital, but unfortunately three brothers died on the battlefield one after another, and the Houfu became increasingly depressed.
"Commander Wan, take him away." Bai Yuxian turned around, turned his back to Marquis Wenyuan, and ordered helplessly.
The commander of the imperial guards gave the order, but Marquis Wen Yuan suddenly knelt down and begged: "Your Majesty, this matter was done by me alone. My family members don't know about it. Please don't embarrass them."
Bai Yuxian was silent for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Okay, considering that Marquis Wen Yuan confessed on his own initiative and three more heroes came out of the house, I only wanted to question Marquis Wen Yuan."
After leaving Wenyuanhou's house, Ye Fuxun sighed: "Actually, Wenyuanhou is also a pitiful man. All three sons died on the battlefield, and now he is in prison. He has no children around him. It should be
How desolate.”
Bai Yuxian nodded in agreement: "Yes, he could have been happy until the end of his life, but it was a pity that he took the wrong path." Seeing that Ye Fuxun was still frowning, he asked: "What's the matter? Is there anything else that's bothering me?"
thing?"
"Do you think Marquis Wen Yuan confessed too quickly? He admitted everything even before you could interrogate him."
"Perhaps it's because we produced evidence and he knew that the fire could not be contained, so he stopped hiding it."
Ye Fuxun didn't take it seriously. He didn't know how to describe the feeling. He just felt that Marquis Wen Yuan's confession revealed a sense of urgency, as if he wanted to be blamed as soon as possible.
After thinking for a while, she shook her head and thought, maybe she was worrying too much.
Marquis Wenyuan revealed where the dead soldiers were gathered, and Bai Yuxian sent troops to encircle and suppress them, and the matter came to an end.
A few days later, the regent married Princess Yunxuan of the Western Kingdom. The whole country celebrated, and the capital was bustling with excitement from early in the morning. Yuyunxuan had been living in the post house, so the sedan chair also went there to pick up people.
Ye Fuxun went to the post house early in the morning, expressed his blessings to Yu Yunxuan, and sent her to the sedan chair as a member of her family.
Although this wedding was a little hastily prepared, it was not inferior to the scene when Bai Yuxian married Yu Siling.
The road from the post house to the Prince Regent's Palace was covered with red silk, and the roadside was lined with people watching the excitement. They all raised their necks to look at the procession, wanting to catch a glimpse of the princess's elegance. However, except for the big red sedan chair, there were no other people.
Nothing can be seen.
The procession was huge, like a red dragon, slowly walking around the city, which was very spectacular.
The escorting procession had to circle the city and then go to the Prince Regent's Palace. When they reached the wide market street, just as everyone was immersed in the festive atmosphere, a group of men in black appeared out of nowhere and jumped from the roof with long swords in hand.
The team surrounded him.
When the people saw this, they were all frightened and fled in all directions, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
"Protect the princess quickly!" Yu Xiunan, who personally escorted Yu Yunxuan, drew out his sword and ordered loudly.
Yu Yunxuan, who was in the sedan, heard the movement outside and quickly lifted the curtain to look outside, only to see that the guards outside were already fighting with the men in black.
There are many men in black, and all of them are highly skilled in martial arts and well-trained. They can almost kill a person with one sword, and their ferocity is frightening.
Yu Xiunan saw that more than half of the escort team was dead and wounded, but the men in black were still fighting in the direction of Yu Yunxuan. He secretly thought that something was wrong, so he quickly ordered his men: "Go to the Prince Regent's Palace to report the news, quickly!"
Yu Yunxuan knew that the man in black was coming for her, so her mind went blank for a moment and she couldn't even think. It wasn't until she heard the sound of swords getting closer that she reacted. She lifted the curtain and looked out, and there was a corpse lying there.
everywhere.
The smell of blood filled the air, and as the wind blew in, Yu Yunxuan almost vomited. But she had no time to feel uncomfortable, because the last layer of protection of the escort team had been breached.
A man in black opened the curtain and came in, put a sword to her neck, and said coldly: "Don't move, or I will kill you with one sword!"
Yu Yunxuan did not dare to resist, and allowed the man in black to drag her out of the sedan chair, and then jumped onto the roof.
"Second brother, help me!" Yu Yunxuan wanted to break free from the grasp of the man in black, but her strength was too weak, and her struggle had no effect at all.
"Put her down! What on earth do you want to do?" Yu Xiunan looked towards the roof and shouted angrily.
The man in black sneered, disdainfully answering Yu Xiunan, wrapped his iron arms around Yu Yunxuan's waist, turned around, jumped back, and disappeared under the blue sky.
Seeing that the mission was completed, the men in black stopped fighting and retreated as quickly as possible. The rest of the escort team hurried to catch up, but they soon lost track of them.
When Xiao Yunchen received the news and rushed over, the scene was already covered with blood. There were only less than fifty people left in the procession of several hundred people. Yu Xiunan sat dejectedly on the stone steps, wondering what he was thinking.
.
Seeing Xiao Yunchen coming, he immediately jumped up and grabbed his shirt angrily.
"Why are you here now? My sister has been captured by the men in black! Let me tell you, if there is anything wrong with Yunxuan, I will let the entire Dongchen Kingdom be buried with you!"
Xiao Yunchen broke away from his hand and said angrily: "I am more worried than you about this situation." But at this moment, he could not be confused. He had to calm down and think calmly to save Yu Yunxuan.
"In which direction did those men in black escape?"
A guard replied: "It's in the direction of the east city gate!"
"Commander Wan, call out 3,000 imperial guards and search carefully inside and outside the city. Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must find him."
"Yes!" Commander Wan paused, and then said: "Your Majesty, from the description of the guards, those men in black have crescent-shaped marks on their faces."
"Another crescent mark?" Xiao Yunchen was shocked. Haven't all the three thousand dead soldiers raised by Marquis Wenyuan been wiped out? Where did the man in black with the crescent mark appear again?
Xiao Yunchen then came to Tianlao and found Marquis Wen Yuan.
Marquis Wen Yuan opened his eyes and was shocked when he saw that Xiao Yunchen's visitor was actually Xiao Yunchen, dressed in happy clothes. "Your Majesty, what are you..."
Xiao Yunchen pointed his sword at him and asked sternly: "Tell me, where did you catch Princess Yunxuan!"
Marquis Wen Yuan asked with a confused look on his face: "What did the prince mean by this? What happened to Princess Yunxuan?" He remembered that today was the grand day for the regent to marry Princess Yunxuan. Why did the prince come to ask him for someone?
"Don't pretend to be stupid! Those three thousand dead soldiers of yours are just a small part, right? Today, hundreds of people were dispatched to kidnap the princess of the Western Kingdom on the street. How do you feel at ease? Where did you take them? Tell me!"
Marquis Wen Yuan was frightened. Could it be that the black-clad team was out again? Did they kidnap the Princess of the West on a day like today? What was the purpose of that person?
