Concubine Gaomen (76)

Afraid?

Hearing these words in Kou Zhun's ears, he wanted to laugh but couldn't. Only now did he realize that he didn't understand this princess at all from the beginning. Although she frequently entered the palace, he served as a guard.

The deputy commander of the army always had the opportunity to meet her. But no one knew that she would hide so deeply. However, now that I thought about it carefully, I felt that although I had not thought of it, the prince probably knew it. Otherwise, it would not be possible.

She would go into such a big fight and call so many people to deal with a female prostitute. But even so, she still failed in the end. Feng Yuan led the people to chase them all the way, which proved that she saw through herself at that time. She was prepared. But this

During the whole process, I accompanied her all the way, and I still can’t figure out how she passed the news to Feng Yuan.

Thinking like this, he pursed his lips and said with emotion: "Your Highness, you are so hard to see through."

Lin Yutong saw that his hand holding the knife did not relax at all, and smiled. She never dared to look down on anyone, and said meaningfully: "Is General Kou's family okay in Zuojiazhuang?"

Kou Zhun's hand holding the knife tightened suddenly, and he raised the knife slightly. She pried open the soldier's mouth, and even Zuojiazhuang knew it. How long did it take? What could she do?

At this point, you can see how good his methods are. This makes his heart become unstable. He can die no matter how he wants, but his mother, his wife, his children. They have not done a single evil thing. If it is because of

It is really unjust to die for one's own sake.

Lin Yutong saw fear in the other party's eyes, and her voice became calmer, "You have always been His Majesty's confidant. This makes me a little strange. When did you, who had a bright future, start to follow Prince Duan?

Close? Even though you turned out to be Prince Duan's man, you hid it so well that no one noticed it. Shouldn't you be more aware of the current situation and not show your face? Why did you jump out instead? This is beyond my comprehension. Maybe

There is another possibility, that is, you have never been a member of Prince Duan, but you have recently joined the Prince's family."

"Your Highness... what are you talking about?" Kou Zhun looked behind him, but Jiang Zhong was not catching up. "Are you... stalling for time?"

"Do I need to delay?" Lin Yutong held a gun in his hand and drove his horse further in. "I think you should worry about your family now. If you keep hanging out with the prince like this, maybe nothing will happen to the prince.

, but what about you and your family?”

"Your Highness wants to persuade me to surrender?" Kou Zhun's tone was a bit sarcastic, "As long as I kill the princess here today, no one will know where my family is. As long as no one knows, it will be safe."

Lin Yutong shook his head: "You are really stubborn. I don't know what benefits the prince has given you. But in my opinion, if the minister chooses to take sides, he should choose a wise person. The prince is simply at a loss now and is making a fool of himself.

Repeatedly. Since you are the deputy commander of the imperial guards, you should know the talents of Lord Lin as your boss. He is a mediocre person. I think it is not difficult for you to avoid his sight and arrange for the prince to enter the palace. With you

With such a person guarding the palace, as long as the prince returns to the palace safely, as long as all the important officials and nobles of the court are called into the palace, everyone will know about the prince's return to the palace. He has stood his ground. No one dares

How about the prince who was easily canonized by the late emperor? Even His Majesty has to weigh it. He has a legitimate status, but if he doesn't take advantage of such good innate conditions, he must risk his life and join the rebels. This is not seeking death.

What is it? He's simply lost his mind and gone crazy. He is confused, and the funny thing is that people like you who follow him are also confused. If you could just give him some advice, you wouldn't have seen the prince get to where he is now."

The cold wind in the winter night made people shiver all over. But Lin Yutong's words made him feel chilly in his heart.

Yes! Things can be done this way. But why didn't you follow this path? Did the prince not think of it? No! It was the prince who was afraid of the palace, your majesty, and even Concubine Chen from the bottom of his heart. He didn't

Courage and courage were directly opposite to His Majesty. After thinking about this, he closed his eyes, and the image of him that was like a god in his heart suddenly collapsed.

He couldn't help thinking that if Princess Yunyin and the prince were to change places, Princess Yunyin's choice would be completely different from that of the prince.

At this point, looking at Kou Zhun's reaction, even Lin Yutong couldn't help but sigh. It is said that character determines destiny. This saying is also very applicable here. Is the prince stupid? Not stupid! Not only is he not stupid, he often does things well.

It was extremely appropriate. But there was cowardice and cowardice in his character, so the path he chose was completely different.

"Put down your knife!" Lin Yutong looked into Kou Zhun's eyes, "Put down your knife. I don't have any special hobby for killing people. I can forget about this matter..."

But Kou Zhun suddenly opened his eyes and raised the knife horizontally. Lin Yutong just dodged back cautiously, only to see him put the knife under his own neck: "Your Highness! Maybe what you said is right!" He closed his eyes again.

He closed his eyes, and then slowly shook his head, "But... I can't do anything for the sake of glory! I am not a person of Prince Duan. The reason why I took refuge in the prince is because the prince is kind and has saved my mother's life.

.Today, Your Highness has been extremely kind to me. But please forgive me for not knowing how to praise me. I cannot do anything that betrays the Lord. But it is not my intention to kill my relatives. I am willing to sacrifice my own life in exchange for my family not to be implicated.

..." As he said that, he looked at Lin Yutong with a pleading look, and then, the knife cut across his neck, and blood came out.

Lin Yutong closed his eyes tightly until he heard the sound of falling to the ground, then slowly opened his eyes.

"What are you doing?" Lin Yutong looked at the man who fell on the ground and was still twitching, and sighed softly.

Jiang Zhong was as tired as a dog and ran after him. From a distance, he saw a man falling off his horse. He was startled. The man who fell off his horse couldn't be Kou Zhun. If this guy didn't have the ability, he wouldn't be able to do it.

He couldn't take the position of deputy commander of the Imperial Guard. Thinking of the face that made people unable to take their eyes away, he suddenly shouted: "Kou Zhun, I CAO are your eighteenth generation ancestors." As he shouted, he felt violently.

Bring up the enthusiasm.

He ran forward like crazy, only to see that it was Princess Yunyin who was sitting on the horse and looking at him with a frown, and it was Kou Zhun who fell to the ground. His neck was bleeding and his whole body was twitching. Jiang Zhong was stunned for a moment, and then

Possessed, he almost said in surprise: "Is this suicide?" The wound was obvious. Before Lin Yutong could speak, Kou Zhun said in a voice not much louder than a mosquito: "...it's not...princess...it's...

substitute……"

Lin Yutong suddenly understood in his heart. Kou Zhun knew his own strength, and he also knew that he wanted to hide his strength. So, he used his last strength to cover up for himself so that he could show mercy to his family. She looked at Kou

Yes, he nodded slightly to accept his kindness.

Kou Zhun then took a deep breath and slowly breathed out.

Jiang Zhong stood up suddenly and burst into laughter. Lin Yutong wanted to whip him again. He is dead, so you are just laughing.

Turning around, Jiang Zhong's eyes sparkled like those of a hungry wolf.

"Haha...it turns out that you are not the princess, but a substitute!" Jiang Zhong wished he could dance with joy, "I said, what kind of person is a princess, how can she be such a fierce bitch like you? It's also me, old Jiang, who is here to turn things around. You

Don’t worry, I’ll beg the princess later. Our old Jiang is also a fourth-grade general, so it’s okay to beg the princess to give you to me as my wife. I guarantee that the matchmaker is getting married, and eighteen large sedans will welcome you..."

Lin Yutong raised her foot and kicked him on the chest, "You'd better shut up."

Jiang Zhong was kicked and sat on the ground, but he still stood up happily. Lin Yutong did not give him a chance to speak anymore and ordered: "You wait here for Feng Yuan. There is no need to keep these people alive today. These

Can you handle the matter well?"

"Is this still a big deal?" Jiang Zhong patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, I will do it to satisfy the princess. Only when the princess is satisfied will I have the opportunity to say to the princess that I want you."

Lin Yutong held the horse's belly and turned its head, "Then I'll leave the aftermath to you. I want to return to the capital first."

With that said, he rode away. Jiang Zhong could still be heard shouting from behind: "Do you want me to see you off? Do you know the road alone?"

Lin Yutong ignored this fool at all and just galloped away on horseback.

When Feng Yuan came over, he saw Lieutenant General Jiang Kou Zhun's body being moved to the horse. He asked anxiously: "Where is the princess?"

Jiang Zhong curled his lips: "Where do I know where I'm going? Why do you think this royal family is so careless? They even bring a stand-in with them when they go out. I'm so confused now that I don't know when the princess I met is.

When is it true and when is it false?”

"What do you mean?" Feng Yuan was a little confused by Jiang Zhong's words.

Jiang Zhong bared his teeth and said: "I don't even know what the hell it means. Anyway, Kou Zhun said that the princess is not a princess, but a substitute!"

Feng Yuan frowned: "This substitute looks a bit similar. Where can I find someone who looks exactly the same? The princess we saw in the military camp must be real! But where did this substitute... change?"

Jiang Zhongcai remembered that just now she only saw the princess in her clothes and her voice, but she really didn't see the princess's face. The enthusiasm in his heart was suddenly extinguished, and he scratched his head irritably, "If this is the case, in the middle of the night

The person who ambushed Kou Zhun's men on the road was the princess's stand-in. Later, when I went back to find you, the princess was the only one left. It must have been at that time that the princess hid, and it was this stand-in who came out."

In other words, the front and back are connected.

Feng Yuan nodded: "The affairs of the Tianjia and the people of the Tianjia cannot be speculated according to common sense. But if this is the case, it seems that all this is reasonable. Otherwise, His Highness led two horses to someone else's trap, but

Isn't it unreasonable to send you back to lead the way? The lives of us people are precious or cheap. We are born and die for the Tian family. It makes no sense for the princess to take risks alone in order to protect your boy's life.

.”

Jiang Zhong smiled bitterly, and that was right. It was more like he didn't want to let himself know her secret, so he dismissed himself so that he could take her place. He sighed, his throat was smoking after running all night, and turned around.

He grabbed a handful of clean snow and stuffed it into his mouth, "Let's go! You have to finish what you have to do!"

He said this, but he still had doubts in his heart. There were too many things that distracted him before and he didn't think about it carefully. Now that he thinks about it carefully, it seems that there is something wrong. They say you can recognize a woman by her scent. He has never met this girl since then.

Both princesses smelled the same fragrance. He had never smelled this kind of fragrance on another woman. Even if he was a substitute, he would not be so meticulous. Even the smell on his body was the same.

He kept this matter in his heart, got up and got on his yellow gelding. Then he looked in the direction Lin Yutong left, then turned back and followed Feng Yuan to clean up the battlefield just now. He still had to think about how to follow him back home.

The old man said.

But it was said that Lin Yutong rode all night and arrived outside the city gate before dawn. The city gate had not yet opened.

You can't enter the capital at this time without a token.

She got off the horse, looked up, but still did not rush to call the city gate. There was no special token in her hand. Not far away, there was a small tea seller who had already gotten up to light a fire.

, getting ready for a day of trading. Lin Yutong led the horse over and sat on the stall that had just been set up.

An old man in his fifties looked at Lin Yutong and said, "Sir, the stove has just been turned up and the water is not hot yet. How about I give you some pastries first? This is something I eat at home. I have been heating it by the stove last night."

Wear it. If you don't mind being vulgar..." He said, carefully looking at Lin Yutong, and saw that this girl was not an ordinary girl. The clothes on her body, plus the horse tied to one side, including the saddle, were all...

It was only for wealthy families. Even though this girl was still stained with blood, she could sit here so calmly, and he didn't dare to serve her carelessly.

Lin Yutong naturally knew what she looked like. She didn't change her clothes, but waited for the city gate to open before entering the city. Wasn't it to show others what she looked like now? Seeing the old man's cautious look, she stuffed her clothes with her clothes.

After passing the two silver coins, he said, "Bring over anything to eat." She was really hungry.

The snacks that were served were very soft when I took a bite. They were made from sweet potatoes and had a bit of sweetness unique to sweet potatoes. After a short while, a pot of hot tea was served and I drank it. It was chrysanthemum tea.

. She finished a plate of snacks and a pot of tea by herself, and heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance.

Originally, she was going to be in a hurry, so she didn't pay much attention to it, but the store owner straightened up his face and murmured: "I'm afraid something is going to happen. This is an emergency report from 800 miles away!"

Lin Yutong squinted and looked into the distance, and saw that the man on the horse was carrying a small apricot flag. Isn't it the urgent report from eight hundred miles away?

She quickly got up, walked out of the tea house in a few steps, took the horse, turned over and jumped up. She couldn't help but wonder, maybe the news from the border had arrived.
