Chapter 347 Night Banquet in Qianjiao Garden (12)

Fu Guan responded to his gaze calmly: "I am not as ambitious as you. I have learned from your mistakes. I just want to abide by my duty as a minister."

Hearing this, Xiang Feng snorted indifferently: "Heh, just keep pretending. I want to see how long you keep pretending."

After saying these harsh words, he was immediately escorted away.

Shangguan Jie walked closer to Fu Guan, glanced at the direction Xiang Feng left, and curled his lips silently. Then, he said to Fu Guan:
"So far, the 'Qianjiaoyuan Night Banquet' has come to an end - this time it is really thanks to the princess and you, the prince, that you cooperated internally and externally, and cooperated tacitly. We were able to successfully obtain the evidence and expose the prince's crime to the Lord. .

"Otherwise, based on our one-sided words, I'm afraid the Holy One will not agree so easily to order the capture of the prince."

Fu Guan's expression was indifferent: "Actually, Your Majesty knew that the prince had turned against you, but he couldn't find a chance to express his feelings before. Now that there are all the witnesses and physical evidence, the prince has no way to deny others, so the Holy One will naturally not tolerate it anymore."

Shangguan sighed and said, "I just hope that this time, Your Majesty will not care about the relationship between father and son. If His Majesty is soft-hearted and lets the prince go, then all our efforts will be in vain."

If it really comes to that point, it will not only be a vain effort, but also deepen the hatred between the prince and the prince. In the end, it's a matter of life and death.

"How to deal with the prince is a matter of free judgment in His Majesty's heart. This is not something we can decide." Fu Guan stood aside and watched the guests in the garden being taken away one by one by the guards. At this time, there was a sudden sound coming from somewhere in the courtyard. There was a commotion.

"Hey, people over there, stop, don't run! -"

"Someone is running away, chase him quickly!"

……

Fu Guan immediately asked: "What happened?"

A guard ran over to report: "Replying to the prince, my subordinates were just ordered to capture the guests present, but without paying attention, someone slipped out in the chaos. We have already sent people to chase them. I think they will be captured soon." ”

Fu glanced around, thought for a moment, called General Gao and said, "General Gao, you can take care of this place for now. I'll chase after you and have a look."

Shangguan said in confusion: "It's just a prisoner who escaped. Why do you need me to arrest him personally? Why don't you send a few more people to save some effort?"

Fu Guan said, "You can just keep an eye on me here. I'll take a look everywhere." After saying that, he followed the guards and quickly chased after him.

Shangguan Jie saw that he was walking in a hurry and couldn't help but smile and sigh: "Your Majesty is really meticulous and takes everything into consideration. General Gao, don't you think so?"

General Gao also smiled and replied: "Your Majesty has always been like this. It is really a blessing to be able to work with your Majesty."

……

Fu Guan followed the fugitive's trail and stopped in front of the east courtyard gate.

The guard said: "The man is gone!"

"Just now, my subordinates saw him passing through the bushes over there. Why, how come he was nowhere to be found in the blink of an eye?!"

"Quick, look around!——"

Fu Guandao: "You guys will search separately. If you find any clues, send out a signal immediately."

"Yes!"

Everyone dispersed according to the instructions and searched individually. Fu Guanze stood there for a moment, then passed through the east side door and left Qianjiao Garden.

The grass outside the garden is still wet from the rainwater from the previous day, and the land is still wet and muddy. Fu Guan stooped slightly and took a look, seeing the tiny footprints left on the ground.

He followed the footprints and didn't stop until he entered the woods - the footprints were gone.

Suddenly, there was a strong wind blowing from the side in the forest!
Fu Guan's eyes flashed, and he immediately turned around and dodged away. He shifted his gaze slightly, and in his gaze, he saw a folding fan swiping across his face quickly and harshly like a sharp sword.

The force of this blow was so strong that wherever the strong wind passed by, the leaves on one side were cut off and fell to the ground.

Fu Guan quickly deflected the opponent's wrist, and at the same time stretched out his hand to block the oncoming fan bone. He said:
"Your Excellency is very skilled. But since you have such skills, you can show up and fight me face to face. Why do you need to do what a villain does-a sneak attack?"

The person hiding in the dark chuckled and said: "If it weren't for a sneak attack, who could hurt King Xuanping who is hiding his edge?"

As soon as the words fell, the man broke free from Fu Guan's shackles and struck with all his strength!
Between the lightning and flint, a "buzzing" sound was heard in mid-air, and the next moment, a long sword glowing with cold light appeared.

Fu Guan tilted his head slightly, and the sword edge pierced the folding fan in front of him from the side of his ear.

At the same time, the person holding the fan turned the fan, and the fan bone jammed the long sword, preventing him from going any further.

Fu Guan reacted very quickly. He held the hilt of the sword with his backhand and used the sword move, but in the blink of an eye, the folding fan that had been filled with murderous intent was shattered in the air like a broken mirror.

Then, after the two of them went back and forth to test a few moves, the person in the darkness took the lead to stop. The other party's voice was filled with a smile: "I said it's two points, right? Two against one, isn't that fair?"

After saying that, a dark red shadow flashed in the night, and Lou Xiyue came to Fu Guan's side: "There is no need to be fair when dealing with a young person."

"What the princess said is really heartbreaking." As he spoke, the man stepped forward and said:

"Anyway, we have met several times in Jiangnan, and we have a mutual support for each other. Moreover, at that time, Jiangnan was hit by floods and epidemics, and I also contributed a lot. It would be better for the empress to give me some face. ah."

The visitor showed his true body and kept a close distance from Lou Xiyue and Fu Guan.

Taking a closer look at his clothes and vaguely identifiable face, isn't it Qi Lian himself who took advantage of the chaos to escape from the banquet!

"Contribution?" Lou Xiyue said: "Master Qi donated doctors and medicines in Jiangnan, whether it was out of kindness or for other purposes, you and I both know it. At this moment, there is no need to pretend anymore."

"As expected of the princess, she speaks directly." Qi Lian said with a smile:
"Yes, I did some manipulations with the medicinal materials used to relieve the victims. But you can rest assured that at that time I was just to test the efficacy of the new medicine, so the dosage was not large and would not have any actual effect on the people's bodies. of damage.

"So, you don't have to pursue me so hard. How about you let me go today and I'll be merciful when we meet again tomorrow?"

Fu Guan: "Oh? Why do Mr. Qi think that I will allow those who harm the people of Daxuan to escape? It was you who introduced the Lost Soul Grass into the territory of Daxuan.

"At first, you disguised yourself as ordinary businessmen and smuggled across the border, but your deeds were exposed and you were discovered by Ying Zhaohuan. To achieve your goal, you joined forces with Daxuan officials to kill Ying Zhaohuan.

"Subsequently, you even formed a party with the deposed prince, colluded with Linlang Pavilion, wantonly abused the Lost Soul Grass, trained dead soldiers, and intended to disrupt the imperial court.

"Not only that, you also colluded with the Jianghu sect 'Chongwei Wenmei' in order to make the Lost Soul Grass spread among various martial arts sects.

"All these things... If my guess is correct, you are a spy sent by Rongguo, and what you are plotting is the territory of Xuanguo. Am I right?"
