Chapter 78
As soon as Yuan Zhao left, Mrs. Jiang and Coral who were following her hurried over. When they learned that their daughter had just left, they were furious. She clearly gave birth to a girl, but her father taught her that it was more of a headache than a boy.
House servant:
"Go, block all the doors, and be sure to bring her back to me!"
This bastard, I thought that she had suffered a lot outside for several years and that she should make some progress. Unexpectedly, when something happened at home, she couldn't hold it in any longer, and she actually wanted to send out the government troops.
Even the crown prince did not have this standard when he was a child, so one can imagine how naughty his daughter is.
"What's all this? Since Lord Marquis knew she was naughty, why didn't he give her a good beating?" Mrs. Jiang covered her heart in fear and said, "Under the stick comes a filial son. Even if she is unfilial, at least she can be at peace."
She was reluctant to fight, so she allowed her daughter to stay with Mr. Hou, but she didn't know that he was even more unreliable.
"Madam, what you said is wrong. The princess came back with injuries all over her body. I heard from Ji Wu that she often behaves like this outside. When did she show her timidity? This is just natural. I can't blame the Marquis." Coral said with a smile, and helped her into the main hall to rest.
"Oh, why didn't I know?" Mrs. Jiang was helpless.
She couldn't bear to beat her child, why couldn't she scold the father who took care of the child? When she thought of the child's father, she became restless, got up and wanted to go to the Marquis's bedroom, but she looked at the door worriedly, for fear of missing the news about her daughter.
"Madam, please rest in peace. My maid will go out to inquire about the princess. She will not be allowed to leave the Marquis' mansion." Coral said clearly, "If we can't stop her, I will send someone back to invite my wife."
."
"Okay, you go ahead." Ms. Jiang was reassured by her.
…
Let's talk about Yuan Zhao. He took Wu Xi out of his father's north courtyard and met Luo Yan at the gate of the courtyard.
"Princess, there are people guarding the entrances of our mansion both inside and outside." Luo Yan reported, "The defense in the mansion is tighter and more cautious than before, and there is nothing wrong with the rest."
It's just that the battle outside the house is a bit scary.
After all, we are friends who have hunted tigers and bears together, so there is still a tacit understanding.
Last night, she only knew that the bride had escaped from the marriage, and the rest of the matter was blocked by Manager Ji, who was not allowed to go out to inquire. She knew only half of it, and when she saw the princess sending someone back to look for her, she immediately realized that the matter was by no means as simple as she imagined.
As a bodyguard, I put my master's safety first, so I first checked around to see if there were any potential dangers.
When I saw it, I was shocked.
"Who is outside?" Yuan Zhao frowned.
"Outside are Deputy General Hong and others," Luo Yan said incredulously. "The palace is patrolled by the chief of guards, deputy chief of guards, etc. The subordinates were even detained and interrogated for a few words."
The captain of the guard, the future fifth uncle, looked at him with cold eyes and said earnestly:
"Guard Luo, you'd better remember what your responsibilities are. It's your top priority to stay with the princess and protect her safety, instead of asking around like a bastard who flatters the master."
Ah, he is such a loser! Luo Yan was very depressed.
"Oh?" Yuan Zhao was puzzled, "Who made the arrangements?"
"I heard from my servant that it was the order given by Madam." Luo Yan said.
"It's Mr. Hou." Wu Xi corrected, facing the doubtful looks of the two people, "The instructions Mr. Hou gave to his wife before he fainted last night seemed to be to prevent someone from taking advantage of the chaos to sneak into the Hou's mansion and attack her."
"Wuxi, are you still mine?" Yuan Zhao raised his eyebrows.
"My subordinate did not lie. This is what Madam and Manager Ji have declared to the outside world." Wu Xi said respectfully, "The Marquis said that even if I marry the Seventh Young Master in the future, I will always serve as an official under the Princess, and I dare not violate it."
The purpose of betrothal to the Seventh Young Master was to prevent outsiders from taking advantage of the situation and setting up spies in the Hou Mansion.
Her real master is always the princess, and she knows this very well. To be honest, the Seventh Young Master is gentle and simple, but a little boring. It is more suitable for her to be with the princess, even if her life is in danger.
"Okay," Yuan Zhao stopped rambling, stood there and pondered for a while, raised his hand, "climb the wall and walk."
Even You Changgeng came out to patrol, and at least 80% of the people in the house were his eyes and ears. As long as she raised her foot, people would know which direction she was going.
What's depressing is that I still don't know which kid told the secret, and I can't settle the score later.
Climbing a wall is different. Look, Yuan Zhao raised his small fist at a guard lurking in the corner of the roof, his eyes full of threats. The guard was so "scared" that he quickly covered his eyes with his hands, retracted his head, and stopped staring at her.
put.
Targeted intimidation is far more effective than searching for the informant afterwards. As everyone knows, as soon as she slipped away, the intimidated guard whispered to his companions:
"Quickly, inform the captain of the guard that the princess is in the direction of the south gate."
The princess is still young and does not have the power to take charge of affairs. Her settlement of accounts after the fall is trivial, but the military law treatment of the Marquis is terrible.
…
As for Yuan Zhao and the others, they moved quickly and lightly, crawling or jumping, and smoothly arrived at the small west corner gate. Yes, it was the west. She had just slipped in all four directions, and then turned around at will, arriving at the secluded west corner gate.
.
"This place is guarded by Lieutenant General Jiao." Luo Yan said as the three of them hid in a leafy tree, "The three corner gates are guarded by Lieutenant Generals, and they won't listen to you."
"Climb the wall." Yuan Zhao made a quick decision.
She had never thought about going out through the door.
However, each mountain is higher than the other. Whatever she can think of, her father has already thought of it in advance. It is easy for her to climb over the wall, but how to deal with the soldiers outside the wall is the difficult part.
When she climbed up the wall and was about to jump down, she was shocked by the neatly arranged soldiers in front of her.
"..."
"Princess, where are you going?" The hateful Lu Shenjun raised his head when he heard the commotion, and cupped his hands with a smile, "The Marquis has ordered that everyone in the mansion must hold the mistress's order to leave the mansion. Please, Princess
Don’t make things difficult for your subordinates.”
"Lu Shenjun?" Yuan Zhao was riding on the wall, laughing angrily, "Are you there too? Who else is there?"
"They are all here," Lu Canjun said with a smile without hiding anything. "Several deputy generals and Canjun are arranged at the corner gate and the surrounding walls respectively. The main gate is guarded by Feng Changshi and others."
It's easy to break into there, so go for it.
With such strict measures, who are you trying to guard against? Yuan Zhao would not ask such a stupid question and said calmly:
"What if I force my way into your place?"
"The Marquis ordered that if the guards are not strict, they will be dealt with according to military law." Lu Shenjun said solemnly, "I will protect the princess to the death! Please rest assured, princess."
Bah! Damn it! This is Chi Guoguo’s threat! Yuan Zhao was about to explode when a cool voice came from the wall:
"Where are you going, Princess?"
She looked back speechlessly, just in time to look into the cold and ruthless eyes of Captain You, oh, and Aunt Coral, who came in a hurry, with an anxious look on her face:
"Princess, come down quickly. Madam wants to see you for something, so come over quickly!"
Yuan Zhao: "..." Are you trying to catch her?
"Princess, Madam is weak," Luo Yan, who was sitting next to him, whispered, "We have a long way to go..."
This was the only way. When Yuan Zhao turned over and climbed down the wall, he turned his back to You Changgeng and others and whispered: "You two find an opportunity to gather a few old women and gangsters outside the house to listen to my orders."
"As commanded."
Yuan Zhao landed on the ground and walked past You Changgeng expressionlessly. Luo Yan and Wu Xi were just about to imitate the same example, when someone stretched out their hands to stop them, and heard You Changgeng's cold tone:
"You two failed to protect the Lord and will be punished with twenty military sticks. Go and receive your punishment."
With her wings broken, she couldn't use any of her tricks.
"Keep the accounts first, I'm short of people around me." How could Yuan Zhao be willing to fulfill his wish?
"Princess, if you keep too many accounts, people will die." You Changgeng kindly reminded you.
According to the princess's love for getting into trouble, she would be able to save a hundred military sticks in a few days, and their lives would be in danger.
"If the merits and demerits balance out, everything will be fine, right?" Looking down on others, Yuan Zhao looked at him with disdain and ignored him, "Let's go."
Seeing the frustrated captain You, Hualu and others snickered and left with the princess.
You Changgeng sighed with excitement and ordered his people to continue to strengthen the defense. The Marquis was still awake, and the little princess had no one to stop them, so they could only try their best to stop it.
