Chapter 388: Murderous Intent
But while these people were in custody, he didn't intend to go too far into solving or investigating the origin of these people.
Because Long Yuanxiu knew that if he solved one, in the blink of an eye, Long Zhengning and the queen's faction would definitely send two to continue to guard the palace.
If he solves the two, the other party will definitely send double, or even many times the number of people, to guard them.
Instead of wasting the manpower in the palace to do this kind of useless work, it is better to directly indulge the guards of these people, at least let Long Zhengning and the queen think that they are still watching his every move of Long Yuanxiu.
And he is in this, so that these people can see that Long Zhengning and the queen hope that he will be in progress, and it is okay.
Taking advantage of the current night, Long Zhengning was dressed in a black night suit, like an eagle that lived and roamed at night.
With those cold and bright eyes, he looked at the people who were still around the palace at night, and then avoided the guards of these people, stepped lightly on the void under his feet, and with a few places where he could borrow strength, he did not make any movement, and avoided those ears and eyes and left the palace.
As Long Yuanxiu left the imperial city, he crossed the closed city gate, and stepped into the woods outside the city through the night patrol at the city entrance, listening to the sound of insects that had not been disturbed in any way, and was still extremely crisp but not tiresome.
"Mingyue, is the full moon you see now the same as what I see?" Long Yuanxiu, who was half-squatting on the trunk of the tree, raised his eyes slightly to look at the full moon that had already come out of the night clouds and muttered to himself.
Long Yuanxiu didn't know what he was thinking about when he was looking at the full moon, and when he was going to see it, but he stayed until the night was a little deeper, and the dew and moisture around his side became a little heavier, and then he covered his raised eyes again.
"Mingyue, wait for me."
At this moment, a light night breeze blew, blowing his own weak words directly with the wind.
After he was sure that no one had come to follow him this time, he slowly got up from the trunk of the tree, and in a few flashes, he had already left the same place, leaving only a half-old green leaf that slowly fell from the tree and fell to the ground silently.
This extremely silent scene is as if the "eagle" that has just landed on the trunk of the tree has never existed.
Under Long Yuanxiu's careful arrangement to avoid his ears and eyes, he stayed in the East Palace, thinking that he had given Long Yuanxiu to Long Zhengning, who was guarding him to death, and listened to the report of the person in front of him.
His eyes were full of gloom, and he squeezed the teacup in his hand tightly, and then threw it on the head of the dead man kneeling on the ground, and his eyes were scarlet and he reprimanded: "Waste! A bunch of rubbish! So many people can't even look at Long Yuanxiu?! What's the use of this palace raising you bunch of waste?! ”
Accompanied by Long Zhengning's roar, there was also the dull sound of the teacup hitting the object and the crisp sound when it fell to the ground.
The dead man who was directly hit on the forehead by the teacup immediately left blood marks on his forehead, which fell straight down his eyebrows and eyes to his chin, and then dripped onto the already broken teacup, splashing scarlet blood flowers.
And the dead man who was hit didn't seem to feel the slightest pain, and the blood marks on his eyelids didn't seem to disturb him at all.
I saw that he still looked like he was confessing his guilt, "My subordinates should die, let the master punish him!" ”
Looking at the dead man's lifeless appearance, if it weren't for the fact that he was still breathing, he would still be able to flow bright red blood, but I was afraid that Long Zhengning would really doubt whether this person was alive or not.
"It's not been long since that guy Long Yuanxiu was sick, and he hasn't been away for long, so he should still be on the road now." Long Zhengning, whose eyes were full of gloom, provoked a cruel smile on his lips, "Since someone led the way to find the bright moon in this palace, it was naturally the best!" ”
Although the dead man completely obeyed his master's orders, he did not know how to think at all, but guessed the true meaning of Long Zhengning when he said it very accurately and quickly.
"The subordinates will send people to follow, and they will definitely arrest the two of them!"
Long Zhengning, who threw out the teacup in his hand, raised his eyes slightly and looked at the dead man in front of him, and suddenly remembered something, so he didn't respond directly, but chuckled, and then grabbed the graphite on the side again, pinched it in his hand and played with it.
It was as if the graphite was Long Yuanxiu, "No, since he Long Yuanxiu made a stand-in for himself, then simply let this stand-in become the real Second Highness of the Tiansheng Dynasty, and the person who went out of the capital without permission is just a dead man, understandable?" ”
Even though there was too much blood on the hands of the dead man, when he listened to Long Zhengning's low words, he still couldn't help but feel a little faint fear of him from the bottom of his heart.
Since he followed behind Long Zhengning, the blood stained in his hands has been much bigger than ever, and there are many famous families and the blood of people born nobles.
"Yes! Subordinates obey! The dead man who lowered his head in response immediately wanted to leave the action, but was stopped by Long Zhengning at the moment when he just pushed the door open.
"This palace wants Zhuang Mingyue to appear alive in front of this palace, if you resist, no matter what method you use, you must not hurt her life."
The dead man who heard this, his eyes that had always been calm and unfazed, also crossed a fleeting surprise, "Yes! ”
After the dead man left, the study, which was already extremely quiet, became extremely quiet again.
After a long time, an extremely light sentence floated out of the mouth of Long Zhengning, who had a cold face, "Long Yuanxiu, this time it is thanks to you that you have prepared a coffin for yourself, if this palace is not as good as you wish, how can you be worthy of the future princess of this palace." ”
The dead man who turned around and left here followed the direction of Long Yuanxiu as quickly as he could, leading the other dead soldiers to follow the direction in which they found Long Yuanxiu.
The edge of the woods.
As the traces left by Long Yuanxiu gradually became clearer, the expressions of the dead soldiers also became significantly more full of killing intent.
"One, since we have caught up with Long Yuanxiu, instead of letting him merge with Zhuang Mingyue, why don't we directly divide our troops into two ways, I will lead someone to solve Zhuang Mingyue!"
The man who spoke, stepping on the half shoe print that Long Yuanxiu had accidentally left in the dirt due to the rain, said with a determined expression.
However, the dead man who was called One only glanced at him extremely indifferently, and then repeated Long Zhengning's previous words about how to deal with Zhuang Mingyue.
"His Royal Highness wants to live, so you must not do anything to Zhuang Mingyue, you can be injured but you must not be killed." The dead soldier who said this stared closely at the dead soldier in front of him, who obviously looked extremely dissatisfied and incomprehensible.
"Why can't you touch her?! This person has always been against the master, relying on the master's love for her, so he is unscrupulous! If it weren't for ......"
However, the dissatisfied dead soldier four, before he finished his annoyed words, he was directly interrupted by the dead soldier, "Four! Your Highness tells us to do as we are told, and the superfluous things should never be controlled by you and me. ”
The dead soldier who was suddenly cut off from his voice stared at the dead soldier in front of him with a cold expression but full of warning.
Even though he was still extremely dissatisfied with the words that the dead man said at the moment, he had to grit his teeth and hang his eyelids, nodded and replied, "I know." ”
All the actions of the dead soldier four were completely given to the dead soldier one who saw it in his eyes, and he knew in his heart that he was still a little unconvinced by this order, "The four led a team to continue to follow Long Yuanxiu until they caught up with him and strangled him, and the rest of the people went with me to find Zhuang Mingyue......"
"No!" Hearing the arrangement of the dead soldier, the dead soldier directly retorted without the slightest hesitation, and then said with an extremely serious expression: "A few people around Zhuang Mingyue, we can deal with martial arts, but Long Yuanxiu's kung fu is currently only one you can confront you, and we may not be able to successfully strangle him." ”
Hearing this, the dead man couldn't help frowning slightly, he arranged it like this, because he was afraid that the dead soldier would take the initiative to strangle Zhuang Mingyue in place because of the dissatisfaction in his heart, and then the situation would become troublesome because of this.
But what he said now is indeed irrefutable.
I saw him mit for a moment, "Remember what I said, we only need to complete the things that His Highness has explained, and don't make any claims." ”
"Got it." After agreeing, the fourth dead soldier nodded directly to the group of dead soldiers behind him, "Let's go!" ”
With the order of the fourth dead soldier, the other dead soldiers who were arranged to go with him to arrest Zhuang Mingyue turned around and left one after another.
It wasn't until he saw them all leave with his own eyes that the dead soldier who was standing beside him asked out loud: "Is this matter really okay with the fourth?" ”
"He should not have been so stupid as to act against His Highness's orders." After saying this, the dead soldier didn't say anything more, and also led the other dead soldiers who followed behind him, and continued to follow the direction that Long Yuanxiu was heading to.
At this moment, whether it is the dead soldier or the other dead soldiers who are following, they are all happy and do not know that the dead soldier four went this time not only to kill Zhuang Mingyue, but also to completely strangle Zhuang Mingyue.
even took his own life because of this.
The dead soldier who followed the traces of Long Yuanxiu was chasing the dead soldier, seeing that the news he got ahead was getting clearer and clearer, and he also knew in his heart that the person they wanted to strangle was imminent.
I saw that he quietly raised his hand slightly at a few people on his side, and a few dead soldiers who got a hint of it, and then stepped lightly from the group in several different directions.
