The reborn poisonous woman is hard to abandon

Chapter 336 Zhao Yan's Head
"Selling cooking cakes, one copper plate and two cooking cakes, delicious and not expensive! Come and buy them!"

"Selling candied haws! It's sweet and sour, and if it's not good, you don't need money!"

……

All kinds of peddlers gathered at the gate of Mengcheng City. The hawkers shouted one after another, and the crowd was bustling, which is enough to see the prosperity of this city.

"My lord, this is the territory of General Jin Wu, King of Xia County. He and the emperor are brothers. Will we be caught by him when we come here?"

Looking at the tall and majestic city gate, Zhao Yan and his party felt emotional. Huo Yuan couldn't help leaning closer to Zhao Yan's ear and asked in a low voice.

For more than ten days, they ran all the way from the capital, not daring to stay for a moment, and went straight to Mengcheng.

Along the way, they escaped countless inspections and raids, and finally came to the land in the clouds in the southern part of Dajin. However, when they arrived at the gate of the city, they felt a sense of apprehension.

"Since the queen mother dares to let the king come here, there will be no problem, we just go in and talk about it."

Zhao Yan looked at the bustling scene in front of him, and the scene when he escaped from the palace in embarrassment that day appeared in his mind.

That was while he was controlling the emperor, he was thinking about where he should flee in his mind.

How to escape from the palace, and how to escape from the capital after escaping?Where should he go to set up camp in Anzhai and make a comeback.

The prince's soldiers and horses have completely blocked the palace, and there is no way to break out of the siege.

The queen knew that she could not leave together, so she took the initiative to hijack the emperor and cover him into a secret passage in the palace to escape in a hurry.

When the two parted, the queen was close to his ear, telling him softly that after leaving the palace, he should immediately go to the land in the clouds, as long as he could enter Mengcheng, someone would help him.

Zhao Yan didn't know why the queen was so sure, but now that he was at the end of his rope, he could only take the queen's words as the last straw and come here to try his luck.

He didn't know much about Duke Xia, he only knew that he used to be General Jin Wu with great military exploits and was arranged by the late emperor to garrison here.As for whether the other party is willing to help him, he is not at all sure.

Looking back at the carriage behind him, Zhao Yan took a deep breath and was about to lead people into the city gate, but the crowd at the gate suddenly became agitated.

"My lord, we..."

Huo Yuan saw a pair of armored soldiers running out from the city gate, and his heart sank. He was about to persuade Zhao Yan to leave quickly, but he rushed over at an extremely fast speed and surrounded them directly.

The strong horseshoes swayed back and forth around them, Zhao Yan tried his best to keep himself calm, but his hand was already on the saber at his waist.

"Excuse me, are you His Highness Duke Huai?"

When I was in doubt, another middle-aged man on a horse ran over quickly.

The other party was about forty years old, tall and strong, and his face was indeed very handsome.He was wearing silver-gray armor, but his face was as sharp as a knife.

The man's horse suddenly stopped a foot in front of Zhao Yan, and the breath from the horse's nose sprayed on Xiao Ruan's face, but Zhao Yan didn't seem to feel any fear at all, and the exclamation was still peaceful standing in place.

"Hahaha! Sure enough, he is someone who dares to lead troops to force the palace, this king likes it!"

Seeing that Zhao Yan didn't show any fear at all, the man laughed loudly, turned over and jumped off the horse, and looked at Zhao Yan with admiration: "I am the King Xia who is stationed in the land in the cloud, welcome Yan'er arrival!"

King Xia's tone was very kind, and without waiting for everyone's reaction, he stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around his shoulders, just like a pair of close friends.

Zhao Yan was puzzled, but he quickly adapted and followed the other party into the city gate.

"Yan'er is here for the first time. In the past few days, I will arrange someone to take you to have a good tour here. I will take care of other matters. You can just stay at ease."

Zhao Yan did not expect the other party to be so enthusiastic, and without asking anything, he happily took him in as a criminal who was wanted by the emperor all over the country.

"The emperor is willing to treat me like this, Zhao Yan is very grateful, and when I come out, I will repay the prince twice!"

"It's easy to say, Yan'er, your matter is naturally the matter of this king, and the future will be long. We can plan these things well."

King Xia Jun nodded again and again, and the kind smile on his face made Zhao Yan inexplicably kind.

Before he could figure out what was going on, he suddenly saw Prince Xia pointing to a carriage behind him with a puzzled expression: "Yan'er, who is sitting in this carriage of yours?"

King Xia Jun asked someone to lift the curtain of the car as he spoke.

When he saw a woman with bound hands and feet inside, Duke Xia's face suddenly showed surprise.

"Don't worry, Uncle Huang. This is my wife. Because she is extremely unstable now, I ordered someone to tie her hands and feet to prevent myself from hurting myself."

Zhao Yan calmly explained to King Xia, but fortunately, the person in the car seemed to be still asleep at this time, and hadn't noticed the situation outside, so naturally no one refuted it.

However, King Xia looked carefully through the propaganda inside Che Lian's house, and immediately shook his head.

"Yan'er, it's not that you are not allowed to find a woman, but don't lie to me about this woman. She is Huo Xun's wife in the court. Now the court has sent eight hundred miles of urgent orders from officials from all over the Jin Dynasty, and there are everywhere Your arrest warrant, and news about this woman."

Zhao Yan never imagined that the news of their pursuit had spread to the land in the cloud far away from the capital, and the matter of Xiao Ruan was exposed by King Xia in one fell swoop, and he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

"If the emperor's uncle sincerely helps, the emperor's nephew will naturally be very grateful. If you are worried about being dragged down by the emperor's nephew, I will leave and I will not hurt the emperor's uncle."

"You...you child..."

Hearing this, King Xia Jun couldn't help being taken aback, and casually showed a wry smile: "Forget it, I don't care about you. Your mother entrusted you to me, so I will naturally fulfill the responsibility of guardianship. Stay here."

After saying that, King Xia immediately arranged for guards to open the city gate wide, and arranged for Zhao Yan to enter the city gate.

King Xia seemed to have known about Zhao Yan's return to this place a long time ago, so he had chosen a place for Zhao Yan to live early on.After everything was arranged properly, he arranged a banquet for him, and he was extremely enthusiastic.

"My lord, is this Prince Xia's attitude towards us too good? Is there any conspiracy behind him?"

It was night, and Huo Yuan sneaked into Zhao Yan's room, with deep suspicion and worry in his mouth.

Zhao Yan was also uncertain about King Xia's thoughts.

This person cared too much for him and indulged him so much that Zhao Yan always had the illusion that he was like a fish on the chopping board, ignorant of the kitchen knife he was about to face.

"Have you discovered anything?"

Zhao Yan pondered for a moment, then asked the question to Huo Yuan.

It can be seen that Huo Yuan has indeed become his confidant now.Zhao Yan didn't have anyone available around him now, so he didn't hide it, and told him to come to King Xia before the queen left.

"The empress trusts Prince Xia so much, does it mean that the two of them have some agreement?"

Huo Yuan secretly guessed a possibility in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out loud, and what a smart person Zhao Yan was, his face sank when he heard what he meant.

"You go on, I will definitely try to find out about this matter, but before that, you must not pass a word of this kind of word to me!"

Suddenly receiving Zhao Yan's warning, Huo Yuan hurriedly lowered his head and dared not speak, while the metal mask on his face reflected Zhao Yan's thoughtful face.

In the court hall ten days later, the emperor frowned and looked at Duke Xia in the main hall, with a gloomy look on his face.

Xia Junwang clapped his hands, and immediately someone walked in, holding a one-foot-square wooden box in his hand.

Noticing the curious eyes of the people around him, Prince Xia raised his eyebrows and curled his lips and said, "This is the gift I brought to the emperor when I returned to Beijing this time. You just need to open it, I believe you will be very happy."

King Xia Jun's face was full of affirmation, the emperor's eyes flickered slightly, and finally asked the wooden box to be opened.

"what!"

The eunuch who was in charge of opening the wooden box just opened a gap in the wooden box, as if seeing something terrible, he let out a scream from his mouth, shook his hands and feet, and dropped the whole wooden box to the ground.

The wooden box was broken in half, and the objects inside also fell out. The people in the hall saw the objects that rolled out, and there was a gasp immediately.

The thing that fell on the ground turned out to be a human head, and through the messy hair, one could vaguely see that it was Zhao Yan's head!
Seeming to be very satisfied with everything in front of him, King Xia proudly stepped forward, picked up the objects that had fallen on the ground again, and said very naturally: "Your Majesty, I know that you have been looking for Zhao Yan all this time. Some people actually found his whereabouts in the cloud, and they have arranged for people to take down his people in one fell swoop. This head is the evidence that my younger brother wiped out the rebels."

King Xiajun obviously held a head in his hand, but he didn't realize it at all. He walked up and down the hall as if he was holding a memorial, as if he wanted all the officials to look at the head in his hand.

"Your brother's move is really extraordinary. This time, I will definitely reward you for your great achievements. I wonder what you want, my brother?"

The emperor looked at the man's head for a moment, his eyes flickered, but at this moment, Huo Xun who was on the side suddenly stood up: "My lord, when you caught Duke Huai, did you notice that he was following him?" A pregnant woman?"

King Xia Jun seemed to have already thought about what reward he wanted to ask the emperor for, when he suddenly heard Huo Xun's voice and unconsciously handed over the head to his subordinates to take it away, he turned to look at Huo Xun.

"The pregnant woman mentioned by General Huo should be your wife, right?"

King Xia's voice paused, and when he saw that his face might be full of hope, he suddenly became more sincere: "General Huo, I'm really sorry, I really didn't find any woman."
