The night was as cool as water. At this moment, the inn where Zong Zheng Xiaoting was staying was silent and as quiet as death.
The wind blew gently, and the people who had already fallen down climbed up in pieces everywhere.
And Zong Zheng Xiaoting, at the call of Chen Xianzhi, slowly opened his eyes and rubbed his temples with his slender fingers.
Qingqing hurriedly helped Zongzheng Xiaoting up, "Princess, are you okay?"
"It's okay, I just took some medicine and I feel a little dizzy." Zong Zheng Xiaoting grinned and comforted Qingqing.
"The princess has a weak constitution. If she wasn't worried about harming her body from the smoke, she really shouldn't take this medicine." Chen the Seer bowed his head.
Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, Doctor Chen did this just to be on the safe side. Besides, it's just a slight dizziness, there's no damage."
"By the way, how's the situation with General Wei?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting took off her gorgeous palace dress and now dressed like a commoner, looking like a beautiful girl from a small family.
"According to the time, it's about time." Prophet Chen looked at the faintly glowing fire in the distance, with a hint of worry in his eyes.
At this moment, Wei Zixin also came with his secret guards, wearing night clothes.
"Greetings, Princess!" When Wei Zixin looked at Zong Zheng Xiaoting, his eyes fixed, as if he was looking through Zong Zheng Xiaoting at other people, and then he came to his senses and hurriedly bowed and paid his respects.
"General Wei, there is no need to be so polite. Now is not the time to salute." Zong Zheng Xiaoting raised his hand slightly and gave Wei Zixin a smile.
"Thank you, Princess." Wei Zixin stood up and said, "Princess, there is no time to waste. Please follow the original plan. I will arrange the fire."
"Okay!" Zong Zheng Xiaoting nodded, "General Lao Wei has already taken care of everything I asked him to do."
"yes!"
"Everyone, be careful." Zong Zheng Xiaoting once again instructed everyone, and then nodded to Wei Zixin and Doctor Chen, "If anything happens, wait at the agreed place."
"Don't worry, Princess." Chen Xianzhi and Wei Zixin nodded at the same time.
"Doctor Chen, Qingqing, let's go." Zong Zheng Xiaoting didn't delay any longer. He turned around and left through the back door quickly.
As soon as the princess left, Wei Zixin ordered a fire to be lit. In an instant, the guards scattered and fires began to burn in every corner of the inn.
When the flames had already burned the sky above the inn red, Wei Zixin opened the cloth bag that Chen the Prophet had given him in advance. All of a sudden, countless birds flew in all directions. Under the cover of night, powder from the flapping wings and a small bag of powder leaking from the birds' mouths were scattering everywhere as the birds flew away.
Wei Zixin looked at the fire and ordered the guards, "Everyone follow the plan!"
"Yes!" With this order, the only six guards left by Wei Zixin's side also dispersed one after another. Wei Zixin then glanced at Ningshuang who had fainted beside him, stretched out his tiger arm, carried Ningshuang on his shoulder, and with a light jump, disappeared into the night.
only……
At this moment, not far from the inn, a group of people were slowly approaching from the direction of the border of Yunguang Kingdom.
"Prince, look!" Zhou Miao shouted hurriedly while riding a horse and looking at the flames rising into the sky in the distance.
"Not good!" Nighthawk cried out as he followed the direction Zhou Miao pointed.
Situ Xunxiao suddenly tightened the reins, stopped moving forward, and asked coldly, "What's the matter?"
"Your Highness, that direction should be where our secret guards are!" Nighthawk rode closer to Situ Xunxiao and answered respectfully: "The red light in the distance looks like a fire somewhere."
on fire?
"Let's go!" Situ Xunxiao whipped his horse without hesitation and galloped away.
"Drive..." Nighthawk and the others hurriedly followed, but looking at the figure of their master, Nighthawk felt vaguely worried in his heart.
Although the master did not show anything at the moment, if it was any other time, he would definitely not have such a strange expression. Just based on this time, the marriage of Princess Xiaoting of Luozha Kingdom has already violated the original intention. Thinking back to the beginning, the master's heart was to reject the marriage, and that was why the regent brought the prince of Tianxi Kingdom with him. However, after that night visit to Cuiyun Palace, everything was different.
Since that night, the master not only took the initiative to propose marriage, but also seemed to be interested in the palace maid named Qingqing. Although the master did not show it, she could clearly understand that even if the master was not moved, she had a different emotion and ripples.
If not, why would he come here to train his troops for no apparent reason? Although the master had come here to train his troops unexpectedly more than once, he had never done so like this, leaving the border of Yunguang Country in the middle of the night.
If excluding the guards' protection is to prevent the emperor from taking advantage of the situation, then the master's night trip at this moment cannot be explained.
Besides, if the master had the right personality, he wouldn't have ridden away without telling them. I'm afraid... Nighthawk pursed his lips. I'm afraid the master is worried that the inn will catch fire. Even if he doesn't love her, he can't deny that he has a crush on her.
But……
Nighthawk sighed silently in his heart. That palace maiden loved money like her life. Such a snobbish person must be greedy. If it was really a fire, he hoped that the fire would burn out cleanly.
As they approached the woods where the secret guards were hiding, Situ Xunxiao saw several unconscious secret guards, "Nighthawk, hurry!"
"Yes!" After receiving the order, Nighthawk hurriedly took the guards to check the pulse of the unconscious secret guard.
Not poisoned?
Nighthawk hurriedly took out a specially prepared potion to wake up the dark guard and smeared it on his nose.
The secret guard woke up slowly and opened his eyes.
"Your Highness!" The secret guards saluted hastily, and at this moment, the secret guards closer to the front had woken up. The awakened secret guards split into two, one part hurriedly went outside to report the news, and the other part also hurriedly joined the firefighting team.
"Prince, why are you here?" The Phantom, who had just awakened, was about to go outside to ask for help, but saw his master standing aside and cried out in surprise.
"What's going on?" Nighthawk asked hurriedly when he saw that his master didn't speak.
"My subordinates have all been drugged. It is said that the inn ahead has also collapsed and is now on fire. I was just about to ask for help. However..." Phantom looked at the secret guards around him and said, "It seems that none of us will be spared."
"Inn?" Situ Xunxiao's heart suddenly tightened, but he immediately calmed down and said, "Come with me to take a look."
Just as Situ Xunxiao was about to take a step forward, a bird flew by with its wings flapped, and Situ Xunxiao's eyes narrowed slightly.
