Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2741 The situation is urgent
Princess Changle was wearing a crimson palace attire, with a pink and white cloak over her shoulders. The clouds were towering, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and the maid held up a huge oil-paper umbrella to protect her as she walked out the door.

Standing at the door, Princess Changle frowned slightly.

In the original spacious courtyard, three steps, one post, five steps and one post were full of heavily armed imperial guards. Several servants were waiting at the door carrying a walking chariot.

Princess Changle frowned slightly, but she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Seeing the tight defense of the imperial guards as if they were facing an enemy, one could know that Fang Jun must not have been found by these people...

"Lieutenant Yuwen, I just went to the city to have fun, why do you feel like you are facing a big enemy?"

Her voice was clear, but there was dissatisfaction between her eyebrows.

Captain Yuwen took a step forward, his expression did not change due to Princess Changle's questioning, and respectfully said: "Last night, a thief mistakenly broke into the station of the soldiers of Suzhou County outside the village, causing Suzhou Sima Shen Wei to be injured. Your Highness's safety, I dare not be negligent, please forgive me."

Princess Changle nodded slowly, and said: "So that's the case, it's fortunate to be Captain Yuwen."

I thought to myself that there are three floors of guards in this manor and three floors outside. Fang Jun will soon be able to escape from the trap that the thief has planned for a long time, and he can even severely injure the leader of the thief at such a critical moment. rare.

Women are born to worship the strong, so they are inevitably a little proud...

Captain Yuwen said respectfully: "This is the duty of the last general, how can he deserve His Highness's praise?"

Princess Changle hummed, and without further words, she stepped out of the door. The maid beside her held up an oil-paper umbrella, and another person bent down to follow suit, and gently lifted the skirt to prevent it from being contaminated by the rain on the ground.

After boarding the chariot, several servants carried the chariot on their shoulders together, and walked steadily towards the gate. There was already a carriage waiting there.

There are more than ten imperial guards accompanying them to protect the safety.

Captain Yuwen was still standing at the door of the room, looking up at the gray sky. The dark clouds were as heavy and oppressive as lead pendants, and the rain fell from the sky in strands, weaving into a dense net, covering everything on the earth.

Weiwei turned his head and looked around, seeing all his confidantes, he patted the scabbard of the horizontal knife at his waist with his hand, and said lightly: "Go in, search for it."

"Here!"

Several guards got the order and rushed into the main entrance in twos and threes, causing the maids in the house to scream.

"What are you doing?"

"A thief sneaked into the manor last night, and we were ordered to search for it."

"Presumptuous! This is His Highness' boudoir, aren't you afraid of insulting His Highness?"

"We are here under orders, get out of the way quickly!"

……

There was a flutter of chickens and dogs jumping in the small building.

Lieutenant Yuwen stood in front of the door in the rain, raised his left hand and waved it. The guards behind him immediately trotted around and surrounded the whole small building. Even if a fly flew out, it couldn't escape their blockade. .

Captain Yuwen looked calm, but his heart was very anxious.

In the middle of the night, Shen Wei sent someone to inform that Fang Jun was injured and escaped, and asked him to cooperate with the search of the manor, lest Fang Jun hide in it from the eyes and ears of others, scaring him almost out of his wits.

Everything has been meticulously planned and has been brewing for a long time. Almost every step has been carefully calculated, and even Fang Jun's psychological activities are taken into account to ensure nothing goes wrong. After all, it is not only them who execute, even The bigwigs who are far away in Guanzhong cannot bear the consequences of failure.

It still failed...

In a panic, he mobilized his cronies to search the manor overnight, but there was still no clue that Fang Jun had sneaked into the manor.

He once thought that the so-called Fang Jun sneaking into the manor was just Shen Wei's excuse to shirk responsibility.

But Princess Changle wanted to go to the city early in the morning to see the eight gates of Gusu, which made him suddenly suspicious!
He is just a leader of the imperial guards, and it is impossible to prevent Princess Changle from going out, but the doubts in his heart are getting stronger and stronger, so he must search carefully for Princess Changle's residence. Once Fang Jun is found hidden in it, He can only be ruthless and single-minded.

Fang Jun was flanked by Suzhou County soldiers and imperial guards. He must have realized that some of the imperial guards had received secret orders from the Guanlong nobles, and they would definitely tell Princess Changle that no matter whether Fang Jun could be put to death, Changle would be happy afterwards. The princess will inevitably tell the ins and outs in front of His Majesty Li Er.

There will be countless people involved.

So as long as Fang Jun is found in Princess Changle's room, not only Fang Jun will die, but Princess Changle will also die!

But Fang Jun's death can still wash away his ties, and Princess Changle is dead, how can he survive as the leader of the guards?
So at the moment Captain Yuwen seems to be calm, but in reality he is worried about gains and losses and is in a mess.

I hope that Fang Jun can be searched out and killed with one knife, and I also hope that Fang Jun has never sneaked into this manor, let alone into Princess Changle's room. Princess Changle's outings are really just a whim...

After a long time, the confidant came out of the small building sweating profusely, ran to him and said in a low voice, "There is no trace."

Captain Yuwen heaved a sigh of relief. After all, the crime of killing the princess was too great. Once he did it, he would be dead...

Since Fang Jun had never been found hiding in Princess Changle's room, it meant that Princess Changle didn't know about it at this time, and naturally there was no need to chase after him and kill him. We must step up our efforts to search the hidden places in the villa, and we must not be afraid of anything. We cannot take chances. Otherwise, if Fang Jun escapes by hiding here, too many people will be implicated afterwards. It’s hard to protect yourself.”

The confidant looked serious, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Lieutenant, we know that the relationship is important, and we dare not be negligent or slack in the slightest!"

Captain Yuwen nodded slightly, and said: "Go ahead, keep your eyes wide open, and don't let go of any suspicious things, but you must also pay attention not to arouse the suspicion of others, especially Princess Gaoyang!"

"Here!"

Seeing the cronies rushing to various places in the village, Captain Yuwen walked slowly in the rain, and the doubts in his heart were hard to extinguish: where is Fang Jun hiding?
*****
The rain was flying, and the servant carrying the chariot walked very slowly.

Princess Changle on the chariot knew well that these people should have been bribed and they were deliberately delaying time.As soon as he left the small building, those people would definitely go in and search immediately. Once they found any clues about Fang Jun, they would catch up immediately.

Since they dared to assassinate a Duke, they would definitely not care about killing another princess.

Although she had carefully tidied up the room after Fang Jun left last night, making sure that no trace would be left, but being so close to the god of death still made her nervous, and she clenched her slender hands tightly, unknowingly. Cold sweat was already oozing from the palms of his hands.

No matter how slow you walk, as long as you don't stop, you will be able to get out of the manor sooner or later.

It was not until she reached the gate of the manor, where a gorgeously decorated carriage was waiting, that Princess Changle let out a long breath.

After boarding the carriage, she raised the curtain and looked at the guards who were still guarding tightly on both sides, feeling very complicated.

As the golden branches and jade leaves of the Tang Empire, the emperor's nobles, but life and death are still controlled by these powerful families, she believes that as long as any trace of Fang Jun is found in the small building, these guards should have pulled out their waistbands by now. It would take no more effort to kill yourself with a horizontal knife than to kill a chicken.

No wonder the father, the elder brother of the prince, and Fang Jun have been tirelessly suppressing the power of the clan, precisely because these clans have no law in their eyes, let alone loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.

They only care about their own interests.

Once their own interests are lost, they are eager to stop the loss, or they can seek greater benefits. They don't care about turning the Tang Dynasty into the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Great Sui Dynasty, as they have done before. Not worth mentioning at all.

The roads paved with blue stones are crushed by the carriage wheels, and the flowers, trees and green grass on both sides of the road are washed green in the rain. Although the winter in the south of the Yangtze River is damp and cold, it is by no means the withered and desolate vegetation like in Guanzhong. There is a poetic and picturesque feeling in the coldness.

When the soldiers of Suzhou County guarding the roadside saw the carriage passing by, they all stopped and gave military salutes.

Princess Changle in the car saw this scene, put down the car curtain in her hand, and hid her face behind the car curtain, but her clear eyes were icy cold.

After traveling for a while, the carriage stopped slowly.

A voice sounded from the front: "It's raining heavily today, even if Your Highness continues to enjoy the tour, you should still consider the inconveniences caused by the weather. I hope Your Highness can remember the suffering of our soldiers and guards, so cancel the trip."
