Chapter 1760: Making a sound in the east and attacking in the west
Qin Xiao looked stern, he knew that Fan Zhong was indeed a tough guy. Fan Zhong actually knew a lot, and the most important thing was that Fan Zhong knew who the real prince of the Tang Dynasty was.
But Li Chengqing obviously failed to pry this truth out of Fan Zhong's mouth. In fact, after Qin Xiao knew that he was the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he thought about a question, that is, what would be the attitude of King Qing Li Chengqing if he knew the truth?
?
He thought about it again and again, and finally came to the conclusion. With Li Chengqing's personality and ambition, he must have regarded himself as a stumbling block, and he would definitely remove it quickly.
Because he understood that Li Chengqing's ambition was never really to revive Li Tang, but to become the emperor himself.
Since he wants to be emperor, Xiahou must be eliminated, and the Tang prince who is more qualified to ascend the throne is of course a stumbling block that he must eliminate.
Judging from Li Chengqing's attitude today, he even wanted to recruit himself to serve him. This shows that Fan Zhong did not confess the truth that Qin Xiao was the prince of the Tang Dynasty.
"You are not a fool. Of course you can't dare to come and question me just because of the corpse of the eldest grandson Yuanxin." Li Chengqing stared at Qin Xiao and sighed: "Where did you get the courage?" Qin Xiao said lightly:
"The righteous are invincible!"
"What is a righteous person?" Li Chengqing said with a smile: "What you rely on is nothing more than the belief that the families of the generals in the audience are in your hands, so that you can control them." A sly smile appeared at the corner of his mouth,
"Fan Zhong took refuge in you, and those family members were in the hands of the pawnshop, so you felt that they were controlled by you. Now that Fan Zhong is dead, do you still feel that way?" Qin Xiao said: "I understand what you mean, you just want to
He said, I am too smart to fly."
"You are in the Great Heaven Realm." Li Chengqing said: "If you insist on leaving, these people may not be able to stop you. But they say that you are affectionate and righteous. If you bring this group of people here today, you will naturally not let them go."
Leave it behind." Qin Xiao frowned.
"As long as you kneel in front of me and swear allegiance to me in front of the soldiers, I will naturally let them go." Li Chengqing said: "All the generals in the Northeast are loyal to me. You have such a position.
, will attract more people to serve me." Qin Xiao lowered his head and remained silent.
At this time, he saw the governor Ye Chaoxuan coming back with an unusually solemn expression. When he got behind Li Chengqing, Li Chengqing looked back and saw that Ye Chaoxuan looked wrong and asked, "What's the matter?"
"It's nothing!" Ye Chaoxuan couldn't hide the anxiety on his brows, but he could only say: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, it's nothing serious." Qin Xiao had already raised his head, looked at Ye Chaoxuan and said, "Master Ye, why don't you report it directly?"
"What did you say?" Ye Chaoxuan frowned.
"The disappearance of your lady is such a big deal. How can Master Ye remain so calm here? Do you really not worry about her life or death?" Qin Xiao asked.
Ye Chaoxuan changed his face in shock, seemed to understand something, and said sternly: "Qin Xiao, what have you done?"
"Why ask knowingly?" A sneer flashed across the corner of Qin Xiao's mouth. Ye Chaoxuan was already anxious at this time and said bitterly: "Qin Xiao, what did you do to her? I didn't expect that you would take a hostage and use such despicable methods. She
Where is it?" Li Chengqing already understood what was happening and looked at Qin Xiaodao: "I didn't expect you to resort to such methods. But you held Mrs. Ye hostage, do you think you can blackmail Mr. Ye?"
"Blackmail?" Qin Xiao said with a smile: "Prince Qing misunderstood. The governor's wife will definitely be safe and sound. She was just doing what she should do." He looked up at the sun in the sky and saw that it was already past noon.
, then he looked at Ye Chaoxuan and sighed: "Master Ye, it has been some time since the princess came to Xuzhou. I heard that your lady has not gone to visit her yet. Isn't this too rude?" Ye Chaoxuan was startled.
"My wife did not go to see the princess, but after the princess came to Xuzhou, Lord Ye seemed to take good care of her, so the princess must be thinking about my wife." Qin Xiao said: "If the princess summons your wife to pay an audience, in the future
I wonder if I should express my condolences?" As soon as he said these words, not only did Ye Chaoxuan change his face in shock, Li Chengqing also frowned, with a cold and stern look in his eyes.
Ye Chao
, and then left quickly with dozens of sergeants.
Others were surprised when they saw it and didn't understand what was going on. Ye Chaoxuan then returned to Li Chengqing, stared at Qin Xiao, and sneered: "Qin Xiao, do you think you can use my wife as a hostage?"
After a pause, he lowered his voice and said: "Can we rescue She Yue? It's simply a wishful thinking. The place is heavily guarded. Without the prince's order, She Yue can't take even half a step." Qin Xiao said with a smile: "Look at how panicked you are.
It seems that you are really afraid of the princess coming out." Staring at Prince Qing, he said calmly: "Li Chengqing, do you think I don't know that you are going to set a trap for me here today? Do you think I know that this is
It's a trap, but you can still jump in without any preparation?" Li Chengqing stared at Qin Xiao coldly and said nothing.
"The princess is under house arrest by you, and her residence is guarded by heavy troops on three levels inside and three outside." Qin Xiao sighed: "So you can predict that as long as there is no princess, I will not be able to reverse the situation anyway, and I can only throw myself into a trap."
At this moment, Li Chengqing suddenly heard the sound of horse hoofbeats. He raised his head to follow the sound and saw a carriage appearing in the street opposite. Before Qiao Ji and the group of people reached the entrance of the alley, the carriage was already speeding up.
Drive over.
The horse pulling the carriage ran very fast, trampling on the bluestone road, making a crisp sound of horse hooves. Ye Chaoxuan looked down from a high position, his pupils shrank, and he murmured: "Then that is the carriage in my house!" The carriage passed through the crowd, Qiao
Ji obviously recognized the carriage from the Governor's Mansion and didn't know whether to stop it. He saw that the carriage showed no sign of stopping and rushed straight towards him. He couldn't help but duck to the side. The sergeants behind him also dodged, but the carriage was already there.
He quickly passed through and rushed over.
Li Chengqing stared at the carriage, his eyes twitching slightly. The carriage reached under the altar, and then slowly slowed down. The coachman was wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat, covering his whole body tightly. Not only could he not see his appearance clearly, but he also
The figure is also difficult to see.
Soon, I saw the coachman getting up, turning around and opening the curtain. First, a maid walked out of the carriage. Then she stretched out a hand from the carriage. The maid held the arm. A person walked out of the carriage and stood there.
At the head of the carriage, she was dressed as a lady, wearing a bamboo hat on her head, but there was a gauze hanging from the edge. A gust of wind blew by, and a face as white as jade could be vaguely seen under the gauze.
Ye Chaoxuan stared at the person dressed as a lady and opened his mouth. He naturally recognized that the clothes belonged to his wife, but there was something obviously wrong with the body shape.
But he saw the noble lady raising her arms and taking off the bamboo hat on her head, revealing a beautiful face that could confuse all living beings.
"It's Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Someone among the officials already lost his voice: "The Princess is here!" There was a commotion everywhere.
Ye Chao
He is not stupid. He only saw She Yue's clothes and already understood what happened. There is no doubt that Qin Xiao used the trick of making a fuss in the east and attacking in the west this time.
Qin Xiao brought the coffin of his eldest son Yuanxin to the sacrifice site, attracting everyone's attention. Whether it was Ye Chaoxuan or Li Chengqing, and even everyone here focused entirely on Qin Xiao and completely ignored him.
The situation over at Musk Moon.
In fact, it is not completely ignored. After all, She Yue's residence is heavily guarded. Even if Qin Xiao goes to rescue him personally, it will be difficult to rescue She Yue under the tight security situation.
What's more, with Qin Xiao here, there was no way anything could go wrong on She Yue's side. But Qin Xiao came up with an unexpected solution.
The governor's wife meeting the princess would not cause any doubt either emotionally or rationally. After all, it is not unusual for a princess to summon an official's family.
Of course, Qin Xiao had someone kidnap the governor's wife, and then took her to see She Yue. The governor's wife was a female, and after being held hostage, naturally she would do whatever she was told to do for the sake of her life.
Moreover, since she entered the residence to meet Qin Xiao as the governor's wife, no one would dare to stop her.
And this is the opportunity for the Musk Moon Golden Cicada to escape from its shell. As long as she puts on the attire of the governor's wife and covers her face with a bamboo hat, it will not be difficult to come out from inside.
After all, the people guarding She Yue were all sergeants from the Xuzhou Battalion. Those soldiers who belonged to Ye Chaoxuan's direct lineage, who dared to block the path of the governor's wife?
Qin Xiao deliberately attracted attention at the altar and delayed time, but the real purpose was to send people to rescue She Yue. Now that She Yue has arrived at the sacrifice site, Qin Xiao's plan of attacking in the east and west has been successfully completed.
Not far away, Hu Haibiao, the commander of the Yanzhou Battalion, saw She Yue appearing. He did not hesitate and took the lead to kneel down towards She Yue and said loudly: "The general will see Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Then hundreds of soldiers of the Yanzhou Battalion knelt on the ground.
Come down.
The soldiers of the Jiangnan Army did not hesitate even more. Jiang Ke, who was temporarily serving as the grand prize winner of the Jiangnan Army, had not yet knelt down. When the soldiers under his command saw the soldiers of the Yanzhou Battalion kneeling, they immediately knelt down to pay homage. Dong Cheng of the Yuzhou Battalion did not hesitate either.
, leading his sergeants to kneel to the ground.
When the officials in Xuzhou saw this, some had already knelt down, while others looked at Li Chengqing and Ye Chaoxuan, still hesitating. The sergeants in the Xuzhou camp also looked at Ye Chaoxuan and did not immediately kneel down to pay homage.
