Chapter 225 I bet on Princess Huaishun to win
The next day.
Shen Chaoyan changed into men's clothes and went out for a stroll, pretending to meet this imaginary "good brother". When she returned to the inn, she took out the map of Huaishun Palace from her body.
After Sikong Yan read the map in her hand, his handsome eyes suddenly showed a look of joy, "This map not only marks every room in Huaishun Palace in detail, but also clearly writes the time for the guards to change shifts! With Xuan Cang's skills, taking this map to Huaishun Palace will definitely not alarm anyone."
So, that night, after Xuan Cang memorized the map, he changed into a nightgown and went to Huaishun to steal the tiger talisman!
This was probably the easiest task Xuan Cang had ever done.
With the topographic map drawn by Shen Chaoyan, he easily avoided the guards, entered Rong Aotian's study, and stole the tiger talisman.
From the time he left the inn to the time he returned safely with the tiger talisman, it took less than an hour in total.
"Your Majesty, I have fulfilled your order and retrieved the tiger talisman."
As he spoke, he raised his hands above his head and presented the tiger talisman to Sikong Yan.
In the candlelight, Sikong Yan could see the shining bronze tiger lying quietly in his palm.
The bronze tiger was engraved with inlaid gold inscriptions, with a raised relief on the front and a groove on the back.
Even though the light in the room was dim, the tiger talisman reflected the candlelight, and there was an indescribable sacredness and solemnity.
The tiger talisman represents military power, and seeing the talisman means seeing the emperor.
With it in hand, Qifeng and Wa will no longer have to worry about the 100,000-strong army of Prince Huaishun.
Sikong Yan slowly reached out and took the heavy tiger talisman.
His slender fingers gently stroked the inscription on the tiger talisman, and he said thoughtfully, "Remember to spread the news that the tiger talisman was lost in Prince Huaishun's mansion tomorrow."
"Yes!"
Xuan Cang is an absolute man of action.
After dawn, no matter it is a teahouse, restaurant, or a market, as long as there are people gathered, everyone can't help but talk about it.
In the most famous teahouse in Lingnan, tea drinkers are talking about what happened in Prince Huaishun's mansion today.
"Have you heard? Prince Huaishun lost the tiger talisman!"
"I know this very well! My second uncle's nephew's husband's brother-in-law works in Prince Huaishun's palace. He saw with his own eyes last night that Prince Huaishun gave his tiger talisman to his pregnant concubine to play with in order to make her happy. As a result, the concubine accidentally lost the tiger talisman!"
"Oh my God! This is impossible, right? How important is the tiger talisman? How could Prince Huaishun give the tiger talisman to his concubine to play with?"
"It must be fake! Who among us Lingnan people doesn't know how devoted Prince Huaishun is to Princess Huaishun? How could he have a concubine?"
"Don't you still don't believe me? The brother-in-law of my third uncle's nephew's wife is also in charge of Prince Huaishun's mansion. He said that after Princess Huaishun heard the news that Prince had a concubine early this morning, she took a group of servants to the house that Prince had secretly bought for her!"
"Since it was a house that Prince had secretly bought, how did the princess know the address of the house?"
"It is said that one of the concubines wanted the baby in her belly to be the prince after she got pregnant, so she sent someone to provoke the princess! Everyone in Lingnan knows how bad-tempered the princess is. This concubine dared to provoke Princess Huaishun and even threatened that the princess should give up her position. This time she has hit a wall!"
"Do you know where the house the prince bought is? I want to see how Princess Huaishun deals with these concubines!"
"I want to see, too! I heard that Princess Huaishun is a martial arts master. She could defeat a hundred enemies alone on the battlefield. Even the prince was no match for her!"
Shen Chaoyan and Sikong Yan were sitting in the most inconspicuous position in the corner.
After listening to the discussions of these tea drinkers, Shen Chaoyan raised her eyes and looked at Sikong Yan, "My husband, I heard that when the tiger talisman was stolen last night, Prince Huaishun was not in the mansion at all. He used the excuse that he had official business and did not return to the palace all night. In fact, he went to the private residence to accompany his concubine. Now that Princess Huaishun has been killed, how do you think Prince Huaishun and Princess Huaishun will deal with each other?" Who will win?"
Sikong Yan held the teacup with his fingers and brought it to his lips, drank the tea in the cup, and then replied slowly, "I bet on Princess Huaishun to win."
Shen Chaoyan tilted her head and smiled, "Me too."
At this moment, the Princess Huaishun they were talking about went to the house that Rong Aotian bought for his concubines with a golden knife in her hand.
Rong Aotian, the person in question, used the excuse of handling government affairs last night to stay here all night, accompanied by a dozen of his lovely concubines.
Although Qian Feng was a woman, she had carried a knife on the battlefield, killed bandits, and had a strong fighting ability.
Rong Aotian had been living a life of luxury for many years, and had become fat. He would be out of breath if he walked a few steps.
He was still unaware of the approaching danger, and was enjoying the romance with two beautiful concubines.
When Qian Feng broke into the room, he saw this debauched scene.
Rong Aotian was holding two women in his arms, and two concubines were kneeling at his feet to massage his feet. Several other concubines were pouring wine, and one was feeding him wine mouth to mouth.
These women all looked young and beautiful, and each of them was definitely no older than 20 years old!
Qian Feng was furious just by looking at these disheveled women.
Bang!
She swung the golden knife in her hand and split the table in front of them in half. "Today I just want to teach Rong Aotian, the playboy who has killed thousands of people, a lesson. People who have nothing to do with it, get out of here immediately!"
"Ah!"
The concubines looked at the cold knife and were frightened.
In Luocheng, who doesn't know the bravery of Princess Huaishun?
At this critical moment, how could they care about Rong Aotian?
One by one, they stumbled out of the room, fearing that they would become the dead souls under the golden knife if they were late.
Soon, Rong Aotian was the only one left in the room.
Qian Feng looked coldly at Rong Aotian who was fumbling on the couch, and sneered, "When we got married, I told you that if you dare to betray me in this life, what will happen!"
Rong Aotian looked at the knife in her hand, his legs went soft, and he fell directly from the couch to the ground, "Madam, I was wrong! Please forgive me! Forgive me this time! I promise I will never do it again in the future!"
Qian Feng glanced at Rong Aotian's horrified look, her eyes were not moved at all, "My father said that there are no peaceful men in this world, only father-in-laws who stop fighting! If you want me to forgive you, there is only one way, you castrate yourself with a knife!"
As she spoke, she moved her wrist, and the golden knife slipped out of her hand, and stuck directly into the crack in the ground in front of Rong Aotian.
Rong Aotian looked at the golden knife so close, and the cold light reflected by the blade almost blinded his eyes.
He swallowed, "Madam, I swear, I will never do it again! Please forgive me for this time! I beg you!"
Qian Feng was unmoved, "I've given you the chance, since you are unwilling to solve it yourself, then I will do it myself!"
Rong Aotian saw that she did not give him a chance to reform, and a sinister light flashed in his eyes when he looked at the golden knife.
The next moment, he was one step faster than Qian Feng, and pulled out the golden knife first, and swung it towards Jin Feng fiercely!
"Bitch! Go to hell!"
