Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 181 The Tragic Death of the Nine Princesses

At night, the clouds rolled in, as if it was going to snow.

On the tower of Zhenbeiguan, the soldiers guarding the city are changing shifts.

Suddenly someone shouted: "What is that?"

A dark shadow was squirming in the distance, and it was really hard to see clearly in the dim night.

A guard lit a torch and threw it over there vigorously. With the flash of the fire, they could barely see clearly.

"It seems to be a person!"

Several guards held torches and went out of the city gate. When they got closer, they found that it was a woman, still wearing a scarlet palace dress, with two arrows stuck in her back, and she was struggling to crawl forward, dragging blood all over the ground behind her. .

Seeing them, the goddess of the palace yelled in fear: "Hurry up, save the ninth princess!"

In the posthouse, Liu Yunxiang was about to fall asleep when he heard hurried footsteps outside.Yan Mu, who was sleeping in the room opposite her, hurried out wearing a cloak, and Liu Yunxiang hurriedly chased after her.

"What happened?"

Yan Mu's face was ugly, and he only said: "Go to bed first."

Yan Mu left after finishing speaking, Liu Yunxiang was even more uneasy.

"I am with you."

Yan Mu took a fixed look at Liu Yunxiang, "Go and put on the cloak."

It is especially cold in the north at night, and the wind is like a knife that can cut a person's flesh and blood into pieces.

Liu Yunxiang put on his cloak and followed Yan Mu out of the post house, but saw a group of people waiting outside.She didn't know why, so Yan Mu carried her onto the horse, and then galloped out.

At this time there was a sudden muffled thunder in the sky, Liu Yunxiang was tightly wrapped by Yan Mu, at this moment he glanced outside, only to find that they had already left the customs and were walking in the desert.

The Zhenbei soldiers behind him all had serious expressions, making it impossible to guess.

After a long time, the group stopped.

Liu Yunxiang was carried off the horse by Yan Mu again. After she stood firmly on her feet, she first looked up at Yan Mu, and saw that his face was a little pale.And the soldiers behind him seemed to be frozen, looking at the front in pain.

The wind blew past, bringing with it a smell of blood.

Liu Yunxiang turned around bluntly, this place was Yunjing Lake, and there were several corpses floating on the drowsy lake.A flash of lightning flashed across the lake, instantly illuminating the surface of the lake. With this glance, Liu Yunxiang saw the corpses clearly, and couldn't help but soften his feet.

They are all female corpses, all of them are disheveled, and the one in the middle is still wearing a bright red wedding robe.

Liu Yunxiang leaned into Yan Mu's arms, only then did he realize that his body was tense and his chest was throbbing.

"No, no..."

She is the Ninth Princess of Great Rong, how dare they treat her like this!
It must not be her!

Before Yan Mu gave an order, the soldiers had already entered the water and quickly dragged several corpses up.

These are dowry maids, all of them are bloody and bloody, and most of their faces have been ruined, making it impossible to see their features clearly.Then there was the one in the scarlet gown, even though Liu Yunxiang had been thinking in his heart that it wasn't her or Qin Feiyu, after he picked it up, even though there were a few cuts on his face, he could still recognize her at a glance.

It is the nine princesses!
The wedding gown on her body was torn, and traces of being abused could be seen. There was a fatal wound on her neck, a deep knife.

Liu Yunxiang couldn't hold back, whimpered, and quickly covered it with his hands.

She is talented, a lively, lovely and kind-hearted little girl. For the sake of the so-called righteousness of her family and country, she bravely left her homeland. Although she was afraid in her heart, she was still resolute.

But after only one day, she turned into a cold corpse.

There are also these court ladies, most of them are also at this age, and they muster up their courage to accompany the princess to get married, but God does not take pity on them.

The soldiers bowed their heads one by one, looking sad and even crying.

They are so heartbroken, let alone Yan Mu.

Liu Yunxiang looked at Yan Mu, but at this moment, there was no expression on his face, but his face was even paler.

He took off his cloak and covered Princess Nine, then bent down to hug her.The other soldiers also picked up the corpses of the palace maids one after another, and the group returned to Zhenbei Pass in great pain.

In the post house, Liu Yunxiang changed clothes for the ninth princess. The injuries on her body were really shocking. Liu Yunxiang's hands were shaking all the time, and he broke out in cold sweat.I dare not think about how scared and desperate this little girl must have been.

After the body was sorted out, Liu Yunxiang asked two soldiers to help put the ninth princess into the coffin.Glancing at the girl again, Liu Yunxiang sighed and asked them to close the coffin lid.

When he came to the meeting room in the front yard, Liu Yunxiang was hearing the envoy anxiously saying, "Yan Shuai, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive. This matter is Beijin's fault. We should report it to the imperial court immediately. Let's weigh it. Beijin is wronged, and he will definitely give us an explanation, and the nine princesses will not die in vain."

Liu Yunxiang walked into the hall, poured a cup of hot tea for each of them, and then stood behind Yan Mu.

He was leaning on the grand teacher's chair, his face was still expressionless, as if he was not listening to what the sending envoy said at all.

Seeing that Yan Mu didn't respond, the sending envoy hurriedly looked at Shen Yunzhou who was sitting beside him, "Master Shen, please persuade Yan Shuai to focus on the overall situation!"

Shen Yunzhou lowered his eyes for a moment and asked, "If the imperial court takes a tough attitude, how will Bei Jin calm down this matter?"

The sending envoy hesitated for a moment, "The murderer pays with his life."

But that was Bei Jin's third prince, and Bei Jin had always been arrogant, at most he would just find a scapegoat and push today's calamity onto him, as an explanation.

Major issues to minor ones out.

Thinking of this, the send-off envoy couldn't help but sigh.

Shen Yunzhou snorted coldly, "I'm thinking, why does the Third Prince dare to treat our Princess of Great Rong like this, maybe in the eyes of their Beijin people, our life of Great Rong is very cheap."

"Master Shen, you..."

Shen Yunzhou hurriedly chattered: "I also sighed with emotion, this matter has to be decided by Yan Shuai."

At this time Wei Tian came in, saluted Yan Mu and said, "Commander, the three armies are ready."

"What are you ready for?" the messenger asked hurriedly.

Wei Tianli ignored him and only looked at Yan Mu.

"Yan Shuai, it is absolutely impossible!" The sender was so anxious that he was about to cry, "In this battle, the peace treaty signed between the two countries will be invalidated, and the imperial court will definitely punish you. Beheading is even a minor crime! "

Yan Mu stood up and glanced at the escort, "You write a letter to the court, and there is only one sentence in the letter, I don't want them to pay for their lives, I want their dead bodies to be scattered everywhere!"

Seeing off the relatives made his face turn pale and his legs go weak.

"The three armies listened to the order and left the customs immediately, directly suppressing the camp of the Beijin army, killing them without leaving any traces, but the third prince, this commander will personally wring his head off!"

Wei Tian excitedly said: "All the officers and men are holding back a mouthful of uselessness, and they have long wanted to kill them quickly!"

The sky turned white, the Zhenbei Pass was wide open, and the soldiers marched in unison wearing armor.

Liu Yunxiang caught up with Yan Mu, "On the battlefield, you must take care."

Yan Mu turned around and hugged her, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, "Anxin Go back to Yangui City and wait for me to come back."
