Chapter 35 The Three Princesses

"ah--"

“Run…”

There were screams everywhere in the mountains, and the poisonous fog spread to the surrounding area with the autumn wind. When the soldiers and horses of the two battalions heard the noise, they ran towards this side without any preparation in advance and directly crashed into the poisonous fog.

The Dragon Locking Gu is extremely poisonous, eroding all limbs and bones is like jealous of thousands of ants. Even if Xu Buling has such an inhuman body, it is not easy to resist, let alone ordinary officers and soldiers in southern Xinjiang.

But in an instant, wailing sounds came from outside the prison, and the officers and soldiers stained with poisonous fog rolled around the ground and teared their clothes. Some even more, they used their nails to grab the flesh on their faces and became a bloody man in an instant.

The tragic scene made the officers and soldiers in the rear stop quickly, and there was no need to pay attention to whether someone was robbing the prison and rushed to escape in all directions.

The chaos lasted for a while, and the imperial guards in the capital arrived, and identified it as the Dragon Lock Gu, and sealed the scene.

The most common people in the Nanyue River are those who use poison. The court is very good at dealing with it. They evacuate the crowds in the wind and let the poison fog spread naturally. At the same time, various detoxification methods are used to treat the already crazy officers and soldiers.

It’s a pity that the Dragon Lock Gu is too domineering. Ordinary people are killed without death. The military doctors accompanying him are helpless. They can only watch more than a hundred officers and soldiers churning in pain on the ground until their bodies twisted and their seven orifices bleed and died. In just half an hour, the poisoned person died and the prison was covered with mess.

After Chen Ju got the news, he rushed over in the frame. Seeing the scene outside the prison, his already solemn face became a little gloomy.

As the grandson of Duke An Guo, Chen Ju's position in the court was supported by Zhou Qin. He naturally knew about Zhou Qin's hunting Xu Buling. He was upset these days and felt that this idea was too risky. If he made a mistake and failed to control Xu Buling, it would be equivalent to giving Da Yue a legitimate reason to start the war.

Moreover, Baimeng Valley is also a poisonous sect that everyone calls for fighting. As the successor of Nanyue, if he is related to the remnants of Baimeng Valley, the consequences will be unimaginable.

After Chen Ju got off the frame, he called the chief officer of the prison who was waiting at the intersection and asked coldly:

"Have you ever caught the gangster?"

The chief official was the confidant of An Guogong Zhou Qin. This time he was responsible for covering Sikongzhi and others. Naturally, he understood what Chen Ju meant. He took a step forward and said softly:

"The people in Baimeng Valley have all escaped. Several people died in the aisle and have been cleaned up. The other one is single-handed, with a strong martial arts skill and no fear of poison. He rushed out, but Bei Zhi couldn't stop him."

Chen Ju nodded slightly, looked at the densely packed guards around him, and ordered:

"The bodies are burned in a concentrated manner, and the news is tight. Don't let the people in the city know that Sikongzhi is coming to the capital."

The chief nodded quickly and went down to order the imperial guards.

Thousands of imperial guards surrounded the prison, and set up white tents near the open area of ​​the cliff, with hundreds of corpses placed inside, all of whom had already been killed by the Dragon Gu. The officials counted the list next to them, set up fires next to them, and prepared to burn them on the spot.

Chen Ju stood outside the prison and was watching. Before he had finished handling the scene, there was a little noise coming from behind:

"Your Highness, no..."

"If something big happened, I'll come over to see what's wrong? I heard that Sikongzhi came here, how could the extremely vicious bandit run to the vicinity of the capital? What do the spies in the court do for food?"

"Your Highness, the poisonous fog inside has not dissipated, so don't enter rashly..."

Chen Ju frowned and looked back, but saw a slender woman leading two strong women into the official road blocked by the Imperial Guards.

The woman is less than twenty years old and has no jewelry decorations on her body. She has a simple blue outer skirt and white lining. Her waist is tightly bound by a blue waist. She has a silver scimitar on it. She has snake patterns on the sheath. The hilt is a snake mouth with green beads at the end of the hilt. The shape is extremely exquisite.

The woman's black hair was scattered on her back like a waterfall. In order to facilitate riding a horse, the skirt under her body was split on both sides, showing cloud-patterned boots and close-fitting white trousers. Her thighs were tight and plump, not barbaric, but had a sense of power. The overall look was clean and elegant, and people felt like they were a very clean girl at a glance.

The setting sun in autumn shines on a woman's face, and it can be seen that her skin is very delicate. Under the willow-leaf eyebrows are a pair of peach blossom eyes, which is different from the sharpness of Xu Bu's peach blossom eyes. As a woman, she should be a little gentler; her eyes look like peach blossoms, her eyelashes are slender, her eyes are slightly upward, and her pupils are not clearly black and white, which makes her eyes look like drunk but not drunk, and she is hazy and a little bit dark. Even if she has no expression, looking at a man at will may make people feel distracted.

Although her eyes were very seductive, the woman's overall temperament was quite heroic. She held a long whip in her hand, and waved it from time to time, making a "pop" sound. She would make a move to hit anyone who dared to stop him. Although she didn't really hit him, the sound was really scary. The surrounding imperial guards were persuading him with bitter expressions, but they did not dare to stop him.

The second prince Chen Ju saw the woman coming in, the haze on his face curled a little, replaced by a three-point angrily, walked quickly to the periphery and said lightly:

"Sining, who told you to come here?"

Chen Sining, the third princess of Nanyue holding a long whip, heard the sound and put away the whip and hung it on her back, walked up to her and raised her hand and bowed:

"Brother Wang."

Although outsiders call Chen Ju the "Prince", the monarch of Nanyue did not openly proclaim himself emperor. Chen Ju's orthodox written title should be "Prince" and "Criminal", so Chen Sining called "Brother Wang" rather than "Brother Huang".

Chen Sining is Chen Ju's half-sister, her biological mother is the queen Song of Nanyue, and her grandfather is the younger brother of King Wei of Dayue.

Twenty years ago, it was the time when Dayue and Nanyue had the closest relationship. In order to get Dayue closer, Nanyue had just succeeded to the throne, Chen Jin, married the niece of the King of Wei as the queen, and gave birth to a son and a daughter, and the daughter was the third princess Chen Sining.

Chen Sining is the eldest princess born in Nanyue, and Chen Ju was born to a concubine, so she can only be considered a concubine's son. Strictly speaking, Chen Sining's clan status is higher than Chen Ju.

However, Chen Jin had 3,000 beauties in the harem, and he favored Concubine Zhou alone. Queen Song was born in Dayue and was too strong, and the couple had always been in a state of dissonance. When Queen Song was pregnant with Chen Sining, Concubine Zhou suddenly passed away. Chen Jin was in a slump and even named his newborn daughter "Sining" to commemorate Concubine Zhou. This move completely annoyed Queen Song, and the two of them stopped interacting.

Later, for some reason, Queen Song and the eldest son of the emperor passed away due to chronic diseases, leaving only Chen Sining, who was helpless and living in the palace. Chen Jin was drunk and confused all day long, and may have forgotten that he had such a daughter. The only one who could take care of Chen Sining was the only half-brother Chen Ju, the half-brother.

Now that Chen Ju is regent, it is almost a foregone conclusion that he inherits the throne. There is no difference between being born with a legitimate wife and being born with a illegitimate wife. Chen Sining is naturally very awe of this brother.

Chen Ju had a serious expression, looked at Chen Sining up and down, and taught a lesson:

"You know that the rebel Situ Zhi is in trouble here, but you are still here rashly. What if something goes wrong accidentally?"

The words are quite harsh, but they are obviously concerned.

Chen Sining lacked care and teachings from her parents since childhood. Although she was sensible and knew the general idea early, she was a little uncontrollable in private, which gave Chen's relatives a headache.

However, facing Chen Ju, Chen Sining was very upright and looked at the body blocked by the white curtain behind:

"I just hunted in the southern suburbs. When I heard something happened here, I came over to take a look. It was too presumptuous to kill nearly a hundred officers and soldiers around the capital. If Situ Zhi didn't catch him..."

Chen Ju moved his body to block Chen Sining's vision and said unhappily:

"Go back now, just have me here."

Chen Sining paused, hesitated for a while, and said again:

"Brother Wang, I'll help you with it. You are troubled by government affairs all day long, so you don't need to stare at such small things yourself..."

Chen Ju waved his hand: "Go back, don't make trouble."

Seeing that his brother was so firmly opposed, Chen Sining knew that the chance of going in was slim. However, when she ran over from afar, she couldn't return empty-handed. She thought about it and said frankly:

"Brother Wang, I heard that there were only two waves of evil men. In addition to Sikongzhi, there was also a gangster with great magical powers who flowed directly from the Dragon Lock Gu. The Dragon Lock Gu is everywhere and cannot be defended no matter how high the martial arts are, that person must have other secret techniques. If you let me go in and take a look, maybe I can figure it out. As long as you have the method of self-defense, the court will not need to die so many people in the future..."

Chen Ju shook his head secretly, knowing that his sister was jealous of evil and hated the evil people in Nanyue. He had good martial arts skills and had always tried every means to suppress bandits without authorization. These things are not bad, but they obviously are not what a princess should do. Even if Chen Ju didn't hide anything, he could not agree, let alone now.

Chen Ju shook his head and looked at the two strong women behind him: "Send His Highness the Princess back to the palace. Recently, there have been thieves in the capital. It is not peaceful outside. Don't leave the palace for a short time."

The strong woman behind her bowed to take the order and raised her hand to signal: "Your Highness, please go back to the palace."

Chen Sining obviously didn't want to leave, and looked at the movement inside and said with a smile:

"When I came here just now, I had already put the horse back. I'll be here with Brother Wang and I'll go back together later. Brother Wang has been busy with political affairs in recent days, and we haven't seen each other for a long time..."

Chen Ju shook his head and raised his hand to point at the frame in the distance: "Go back to my frame and say a little more. Tomorrow I will say hello to the clan mansion and find a prince consort for you and talk with you every day."

This is really effective.

Chen Sining choked and knew that her brother was right. She thought for a while, nodded slightly, turned around and walked towards the carriage.

The carriage was parked on the side of the road, and the two horses drove very wide. Chen Sining walked past the wheel, quietly raised his boots, ready to kick the wheel.

But before she could touch her, Chen Ju, who knew her very well, warned:

"If you don't go back to the city before dark, you won't have to leave the palace anymore. You can find a prince consort until you get married."

“…”

Chen Sining paused her toes, forced herself to take them back, turned around and smiled, jumped into the carriage with a little boring boredom, and left with her guard.

After watching his sister leave, Chen Ju shook his head and looked a little sad again. He waved to the commander of the Imperial Guards. After a few words, the poisoned corpses were concentrated and burned; the remaining troops scattered into the mountains and forests to search for traces of the robbers who fled...
