The Regent Princess has run away again

At this time, Zhao Zhanpeng was nestling in the arms of his concubine, looking very comfortable.

The butler's voice came from outside the door.

"Master, the imperial concubine sent someone to deliver a letter."

"Oh, I see."

After Zhao Zhanpeng finished speaking, the concubine who was serving him at the side tactfully picked up his underwear and put it on for him.

"Master, will you come back to my place tonight?" That charming voice made people's body go limp instantly.

"No need, you should rest well tonight," Zhao Zhanpeng didn't even look at his concubine. After putting on his clothes, he walked straight out of the bedroom.

In the study, the butler handed over the envelope in his hand and said in a low voice: "The Regent has probably noticed us. We have to put our plan aside for now and not alert the enemy."

"Let Lao Liu and the others find a place to hide."

"Yes, then I will go down first."

Zhao Zhanpeng waved his hand, with a sinister look between his brows. He held the corner of the table with a little force, and veins bulged on the back of his hand, showing how irritable he was at the moment.

You are so good, Nangong Ye, why do you have to go against him? You rely on the fact that you are a close minister of the emperor and ignore him.

He is just a dog beside the emperor, but he takes himself so seriously.

The butler sneaked out from the corner door, looked around, and then walked towards an alley next to the mansion.

He didn't notice that there were two pairs of eyes staring at him in the tree.

The moment Nangong Ye saw the butler coming out, there was no expression on his face. His eyes were slightly narrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

"Follow."

You tied the black scarf on his face tighter again, followed Nangong Ye's steps and followed behind the butler not too far away.

The alley was silent. Apart from the occasional barking of dogs, there was no other human voice. The people on both sides of the alley had gone to bed early.

Even so, the butler was still worried and kept looking back. Perhaps he was afraid that the Regent would discover him, so he just started to jog.

After turning left and right, I arrived in front of a house. I saw that the wooden door outside the yard was so dilapidated that it seemed like it would fall down if pushed. There was a low wall outside the yard. If you raised your feet a little, you could clearly see what was going on in the yard.

The butler looked around, carefully pushed open the wooden door, and then closed it again.

At the entrance of the yard, facing the main house, there is a tall and mighty man wearing a coarse cloth shorts and a pair of straw sandals. He looks very rough and it is obvious that he is not someone who is easy to mess with.

"Sixth Brother, you guys quickly find a place to hide, the capital will probably be in chaos soon."

The butler handed over his purse as he spoke. Although they had entered the yard, he was still worried that someone might eavesdrop on him, so he spoke in a low voice.

Lao Liu was not polite. He took it and weighed it in his hand. He estimated that there was about one hundred taels of silver. Seeing the steward's look, he couldn't help but sneered and said, "He's just a brat. What's there to be afraid of? No matter how powerful he is, he's still the dog around the emperor. Is there any need to be so wary of him?"

The housekeeper was very contemptuous of him. This Old Six only had martial arts skills but his brain was as stupid as a pig. It was really ridiculous.

"You don't know that he is not an ordinary dog. I received news that the cooperation between the master and that adult has been discovered by the regent's people. In order to prevent any accidents, the master asked you to go out and hide quickly. Don't come back to the capital recently."

After hearing what he said, Lao Liu's originally disapproving smile froze and he secretly clenched his back teeth, knowing that if he didn't leave and the Regent's men found this place, it would be difficult for him to leave.

"Okay, I'll go out and hide."

"As soon as the city gates open tomorrow, you must leave immediately. I also need to return home quickly."

Lao Liu nodded and said nothing more.

Seeing this, the housekeeper didn't want to stay any longer to avoid trouble.

But after taking a few steps, he saw a sharp sword pointing at his throat. He was only a few centimeters away from reporting to the King of Hell. He had to stop, his face turning pale and blue.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Lao Liu picked up the wooden stick beside him and shouted at the man in black: "Who are you? How dare you touch my people?!"

You ignored him, but instead looked at the two of them with interest, and then said to the housekeeper: "Master Zhao is so capable that he actually teamed up with people from the underworld. Is he planning a rebellion?"

The housekeeper was already in a state of confusion, and when he heard him mention the word "rebellion", his whole body couldn't stop shaking.

No matter which era, once someone is accused of rebelling, the fate will be extremely miserable, and even nine generations of the clan may be implicated.

But if he refuted that he had no intention of rebelling, he would be admitting that he was a member of the Zhao family, which would be inappropriate no matter how you look at it.

Lao Liu behind him was a little wary of the man in black in front of him. When he walked into the yard without making a sound, he knew that the other party's martial arts should not be underestimated.

"What is your intention in coming to my yard in the middle of the night?"

Only then did You turn his head slightly to look at Lao Liu. This guy was really noisy. If his master hadn't ordered him to be captured alive, he would have killed him first.

"What does it have to do with you?"

"you!!!"

Lao Liu was speechless after being confronted by him. He stared at him intently, as if he wanted to eat him alive. The veins on his forehead bulged, and he grasped the wooden stick and swung it at him without hesitation.

You sighed, reached out and pressed a few acupoints on the butler's body, bent down and swept his leg over.

Lao Liu was not stupid either. He jumped onto the eaves of the main house behind him and looked down at You with a sinister look on his face.

"I admire your courage to appear here alone, but I don't know if you can walk out of here alive!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several people appeared from nowhere and came into the yard nimbly. There were about ten of them, all wearing the same coarse cloth shorts as Zhang Laoliu, and holding big swords in their hands.

The blade shone a terrifying silver light under the reflection of the moonlight, and each person's sword handle had three iron rings on it.

When You saw that there were suddenly ten more people behind him, he was not surprised at all. Instead, he expected it. A bloodthirsty smile appeared at the corners of his mouth under the black scarf. This group of people was just right for him to practice.

He rubbed his wrists and moved his neck, but his eyes were fixed on the person closest to him.

He rushed over at lightning speed and quickly snatched the opponent's sword. He shook the sword away, his eyes full of disgust.

This big sword only looks impressive, but it is actually completely useless. Lord Zhao is a bit stingy. He is not even willing to give a good sword to his subordinates.

He seemed to be blood-thirsty, and human life seemed just like weeds in his eyes. In less than an incense stick of time, less than half of the people were left.

The air was gradually filled with a strong smell of blood. The butler standing aside was unable to move because of the acupuncture points he had received. He was forced to smell the bloody smell, and his stomach felt churning. In the end, he could not bear it any longer and vomited all over himself.

Nangong Ye in the dark couldn't help but frown. Seeing this, his subordinates beside him glanced at You who was still killing people, and lowered their voices and said, "Do you need someone to stop him?"

"Keep an eye on Zhang Laoliu. Remember to capture him alive."

"Yes."

After the man finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Zhang Laoliu's face became more and more ugly. He looked at the people lying on the ground. It seemed that it was not suitable to stay here for long. He was no match for that madman.

Thinking of this, Jianyou didn't pay attention to him. Just as he was about to leave, he felt a sharp pain in his ankle, his feet slipped, and he fell off the roof.

He was lying on the ground in an awkward posture. He saw a pair of black boots and thought it was that madman. He was so scared that he subconsciously took a few steps back.

The man stepped on his back with such force that it seemed as if he was going to nail him to the ground. He heard Zhang Laoliu screaming like a pig being slaughtered, and then he chopped the back of his neck with a knife.

Zhang Laoliu's eyes rolled back and he fainted completely.

The remaining people over there were also dealt with by You. The big knife in his hand, which was covered with silver light, was now very enchantingly red. Blood was dripping from the tip of the knife from time to time, blooming strange blood flowers on the yellow mud and stone ground.

You dragged the big knife towards Zhang Laoliu, or to be more precise, towards the man next to him.

"Why are you here?"

"It's all because of your carelessness. If the master hadn't asked me to keep an eye on Zhang Laoliu, he would have already escaped by the time you came to your senses."

You rubbed his nose, his eyes a little vague. Anyway, he felt that Zhang Laoliu was so weak that even if he ran away, he would definitely chase him back. However, it would be a shame for the master.

The man saw what You was thinking at a glance and rolled his eyes in annoyance: "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. Although Zhang Laoliu is weak, you must not forget the person behind him. Don't be careless."

"understood."

The man nodded, then looked at the ignored butler. When he saw that he was covered in filth, the disgust in his eyes was self-evident.

You picked up the housekeeper and threw him into the water tank in the yard.

Because his hands and feet could not move, the butler choked on a large mouthful of water when he was thrown into the water tank. The feeling of suffocation quickly came over him. Just when he thought he was going to drown, You picked him up and threw him to the ground.

The butler's face was as pale as a dead person. He coughed out the water in his chest and breathed in deep gulps.

After a long while, people gradually got rid of the suffocating feeling.

But, it can only be said that today was really his unlucky day. Just when he had recovered from his shock, he was knocked unconscious again and put directly into a sack.

The man also put Zhang Laoliu into a sack, and the two of them walked out of the yard with a sack in each hand. The bodies in the yard were cleaned up by other people who were hiding, and the yard was cleaned again.

Nangong Ye glanced at the two sacks, and there was not much emotion in his peach blossom eyes. He withdrew his gaze indifferently and said, "Take the people back and question them carefully."

"Yes."

......

In the study of the Zhao Mansion, Zhao Zhanpeng paced back and forth, feeling inexplicably irritated.

"Father, are you worried about Butler Wang?"

Zhao Huanfeng waved a fan in his hand and spoke slowly.

"How can I not be worried? He knows too many secrets. I am worried that if he lets something slip, our family will be finished. I asked you to come here to see if there is any solution."

"Only the dead can keep secrets forever. If he is really captured by the Regent's men, we can use their own tactics against him..."

After listening to this, the expression on Zhao Zhanpeng's face turned from cloudy to sunny, and he admired the son in front of him even more.

"That's right, then let's use your method. Feng'er really won't let me down. He is even better than the princes."

Zhao Huanfeng smiled but said nothing. He put away his fan, regained his serious look and said, "Father, I want to marry Princess Kangle."

Zhao Zhanpeng was stunned, obviously not expecting him to say this. Although he knew that his son was very opinionated, from what he said, it seemed that he was just informing him, not making a request.

"Why are you doing this?"

"Father, although Princess Kangle is a concubine's daughter, she is still the daughter of Prime Minister Xue, and she was named a saint this year. She is not only an excellent doctor, but also good at business. If you marry her into your family, maybe Prime Minister Xue will take this relationship into consideration and get closer to you."

Zhao Zhanpeng didn't rush to talk, but thought for a while. It sounded like this would be beneficial to him, but Xue Xiang was not a good person and was very cunning.

He once showed his willingness to make friends, but Xue Xiang, the old fox, avoided him with a few words. It was impossible to find fault with his words, so he was really difficult to deal with.

"Let me think about it again. We shouldn't rush this matter."

"Father said so."

......

“Cough…cough cough cough!”

Butler Wang slowly opened his eyes from his coma, looked at the unfamiliar environment around him, and suddenly became much more awake. Everything that happened tonight flooded into his mind like a passing show.

He forced himself to suppress the fear in his heart and looked at the surrounding arrangements.

There were two torches on each side of the wall, illuminating the entire room. There was only a wooden bed and a set of tables and chairs.

He quickly got up, walked to the door and tried to push it, but found that it was locked and even the only window was nailed shut.

"Oh, you look pretty energetic."

You walked in while speaking, and then stood aside.

Nangong Ye also walked in and glanced at the frightened butler Wang.

"Go ahead, tell me everything you know. I don't have the patience."

Steward Wang quickly collected his thoughts, bowed his head and said, "What do you mean by this, Regent? I don't quite understand, I hope Your Highness can give me some advice."

Behind his wide sleeves, his eyes kept moving. Although he looked calm and unhurried, beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead.

When Nangong Ye saw that Butler Wang was still going around in circles with him, a hint of coldness quickly appeared in his calm eyes.

"is it?"

Although it was just two short words, Butler Wang felt a powerful internal force sweeping over him, pressing him so hard that he could hardly breathe. His legs went limp and he fell to his knees with a thud.

"I heard that you and your wife have been separated for a long time. How about I do a good deed right now and bring them here to meet you?"

When Butler Wang heard this, he was shocked, but he still pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.

"Let someone watch carefully. If anything unexpected happens, you will be held responsible!"

Nangong Ye waved his sleeves, turned around and walked out of the room. You looked at the distraught butler Wang deeply, and followed him.

The door closed again, and the internal force that was suppressing him dissipated.

"What should I do..."
