17, princess
Gongsun Ao and his men fought and retreated under the besiege of those unknown people, retreating all the way. It was not that they were incompetent, but that the number of those people was much greater than he had expected, and they were all ruthless. However, Gongsun Ao could understand that if they left this place, the whereabouts of these people would inevitably be exposed. They had certainly had some plans to hide here, as for what they planned? What else could they have been there except for the emperor who often came to Shanglinyuan who liked hunting? "Who are you?" Gongsun Ao stared at the middle-aged man opposite and asked sternly, "What is the intention to hide in Shanglinyuan?"
The middle-aged man sneered and said, "Go to the ground and ask again!"
Gongsun Ao's heart tightened. These people were almost three times as good as their own. If they were strong, they would probably have no chance of winning. Now... they were thinking about ways to escape, suddenly a short whistle came from the mountains and forests. Everyone present changed their colors, but half happy and half worried. They could naturally hear that this was a whistle commonly used in the army to convey messages.
At this time, this whistle came from the mountains and forests. It was obvious that someone was summoning troops to gather or looking for people. The soldiers who heard the whistle would naturally move closer to the direction where they heard the sound.
Is someone looking for these people?!
The man in black on the opposite side looked at Gongsun Ao and others with a gloomy eyes, with a hint of unwillingness on his face. But he didn't dare to delay. Once he was besieged by the Han army, they couldn't run away even if they wanted to.
"Retreat!" A group of men in black quickly retreated into the depths of the forest, and Gongsun Ao and others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Gongsun Ao gestured to the people behind him and said, "It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, go and meet first."
The two groups of people evacuated quickly in two directions.
When Gongsun Ao and his party found Wei Qing and Yun Luan, they were stunned, "Only...there are only you two?"
Wei Qing said helplessly: "Brother Gongsun hopes for anyone else?"
Gongsun Ao was speechless. He thought His Majesty had sent reinforcements. He waited until the two sides met and then went back to kill the men in black.
But that's true, this time doesn't seem to be enough to walk back and forth.
"What should I do now?" Gongsun Ao asked without even asking how the two met together. If they just left like this, the assassins would definitely run away. It would be difficult to catch them again. But if they didn't leave, they would probably not have enough hands.
Wei Qing said: "It's true that they can't just leave. Brother Gongsun, you take the man and Miss Yun back together."
"What do you do?" Gongsun Ao asked back.
Wei Qing said: "I will follow them."
Gongsun Ao said: "Mr. Yun came into the mountain with her wounds just to find you. Now we left you and left, what's the difference between not entering the mountain?" Wei Qing smiled and said: "Of course there is, you can separate your dry food and clean water. I lost my previous dry food, and I can't hunt and make fires with people. Besides... if you don't come, how can you send the news back?"
"No, I'll leave you back!" Gongsun Ao said.
Wei Qing smiled and didn't speak, obviously disagreed with Gongsun Ao's opinion.
Gongsun Ao turned his head to look at Yun Luan, "Master Yun, what do you say?"
Yun Luan said, "I know it's a burden. If Lord Wei and Lord Gongsun have no objection, Lord Gongsun might as well bring someone to help Lord Wei. Two people will accompany me back."
Wei Qing shook his head and said, "There are too many followers, but the traces are revealed."
"Then I will stay with you!" Gongsun Ao said, "The others sent Madam Yun back!"
Seeing Gongsun Ao staring at him with a look that you had to agree if you didn't agree, Wei Qing laughed helplessly, "Then I'll stay with you Brother Gongsun."
Yunluan was unwilling to be a burden to others, so she brought people back to Shanglinyuan. On the way, they also met reinforcements sent by the emperor, led by Gongsun He himself. When they saw that Yunluan was still holding their hearts, they completely let go. As soon as they returned to Shanglinyuan, someone came to tell Yunluan that Emperor Yunluan had just set off for the palace and asked Yunluan to go back immediately.
Yun Luan had no choice but to set off for Weiyang Palace again. By the time Yun Luan rushed back to Weiyang, it was already evening.
"Yun Shangyi." The Chang Hai, the middle attendant, saw Yun Luan coming and greeted her very kindly.
"Master Chang." Yun Luan also quickly returned the greeting, "I wonder if Your Majesty has free time at this time?"
Chang Hai said: "Princess Yang Xin and Princess Nangong are inside, but Your Majesty gave instructions. If Yun Shangyi comes back, he will go in directly."
"Thank you, Lord Chang." Yun Luan thanked him, and still asked Chang Hai to come in and report to him before entering the Xuanshi Hall.
Liu Che sat upright in the main hall in Xuanshi Hall. A gorgeously dressed lady sat on the left and right of his head. Seeing Yun Luan come in, the three people who were still joking stopped and looked at Yun Luan together. Yun Luan is not unfamiliar with these two. The emperor's eldest sister, Princess Yang Xin, was dressed in indigo brocade clothes, and the other in vermilion clothes, was the emperor's second sister, Princess Nangong. Yun Luan also met the two princesses several times when serving the Empress Dowager in Changle Palace, so naturally it is not unfamiliar with them.
"Yunluan bowed to Your Majesty and the two princesses." Yunluan walked into the hall and saluted respectfully.
Liu Che looked at Yun Luan for a while, and suddenly laughed and said, "Yun Luan is back, thank you for these two days."
"Your Majesty's words are serious, and it is all my servants' affairs." Yun Luan said.
Liu Che snorted lightly, "If it weren't for your visit to the mountain, maybe I would have been unable to find the whereabouts of those assassins. Of course, I should remember one thing, and Yunluan doesn't have to be too humble."
Yun Luan lowered her eyes and said, "It's all your Majesty's great blessings."
Liu Che chuckled and turned his head to Princess Yangxin next to him and said, "Sister, do you think so? I just said that the people around the emperor's grandmother can speak."
Princess Yangxin looked at Yun Luan and smiled and said, "The emperor's grandmother loves Your Majesty, don't scare Yun Shangyi."
Liu Che said: "How could I do such a boring thing? Yun Luan, tell me that you have entered the mountain these two days..."
"Report to Your Majesty." Before Liu Che could finish his words, Chang Hai appeared again outside the door and said respectfully: "The Empress Dowager Xuan Yun Shangyi came over to speak."
Hearing this, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became cold. Liu Che's eyes looked at Yun Luan and became cold. Yun Luan also felt that the other two gazes were betting on him, namely Princess Nangong and Princess Yangxin.
Facing the sight of the three nobles, Yun Luan could only cry in her heart but she could not help. It took me a long time to hear Liu Che sneer and said lazily: "Forget it, the emperor's grandmother has missed Yun Shangyi in just a few days. Yun Shangyi will go and talk to the emperor's grandmother, just treat it as a filial piety for me. Leave."
Yun Luan breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't care about what happened next. He respectfully bowed, "Yun Luan said he would leave."
