Chapter 588 There is a Road to the Underworld
Hyacinth held Qian Ying's hand and was running like a fleeing fox in the wheat field. The wind came out from all directions and cut through the waves like a small boat riding the wind and waves in the green wheat field.
The boy's short gray hair was flying in the wind.
Qian Ying pursed her lips tightly and let Hyacinth pull him away.
Before coming on this journey, of course Hyacinth knew that it might be the day when Tu Qiongdang would see him again, so he had made a lot of preparations, just to protect Qian Ying's safety with all his strength.
Because Qian Ying's importance lies not only in the fact that she is the crown prince's servant and a real high-ranking member of the court, but also in that she is the third generation descendant of the current Qian family. Her father is the heir to the previous head of the family, and she has been temporarily expelled from the family. Famous, but still qualified to come back and compete for family power.
You must know that the Qian family in Qing'an is the biggest supporter of Princess Yue. Once Qian Ying can really take over the Qian family, regain the family power, and make the Qian family completely turn to the prince, then the current power comparison between Princess Yue and the prince will happen. Earth-shaking changes.
After all, the aristocratic power in the imperial capital, apart from the royal family, the behemoth Osborne family has enough qualifications to choose not to take sides, and only chooses the final winner to assist. This is why the Osborne family has been able to dominate Qing'an for nearly a thousand years, with four generations and three prime ministers. the root cause.
But under the Osborne family, the four major families no longer have the power not to take sides. Except for the Li family who clearly supports His Royal Highness out of tradition, the Qian family, the Xue family and the Yang family are all biased towards the princess and have expressed their support to her. She has her own young children around her as a bridge of communication with Her Royal Highness the Princess. For example, Xue Xing, who is Jiao Yue’s personal medical officer, is the noble daughter of the Xue family, and Yang Mei, who served as a subordinate liaison officer in the Qianxing Trial, is She is the daughter of the Yang family.
Of course Qian Ying was also in this group, but who could have known that drastic changes had taken place within the Qian family and that she had become an outcast overnight.
And now is the time for Qian Ying to come back and demand justice.
But justice is never so easy to get.
The Qian family's ancestral home is not in Qing'an City, but in a private manor outside Qing'an City. Although the Qian family also has a considerable property in Qing'an City, the family's ancestral tombs, rankings, and the elders' female dependents are very important. Most of them live in the manor. Qian Ying goes back to visit her relatives. If she wants to avoid his sharp influence, then it is definitely enough to go back to Qing'an City temporarily. But now Xuanyi's intention is to force the palace, so she can only go far outside Qing'an City. Qian's Manor.
Leaving the protection of Qing'an City would naturally put oneself in danger. Compared with the weak force of one's own body, one should actually place more hope on them being able to prove His Royal Highness the life-saving gold medal.
In fact, it seems that the majesty of His Royal Highness has not been taken seriously.
After leaving Qing'an City and entering the official road, Qian Ying's convoy was quickly attacked by the first round. The first round was an attack similar to a roadside bomb. The explosion caused rubble, dust and smoke to cover a height of several meters, which was an omen. Seeing that this was a journey that was destined to be unsafe, Hyacinth used her abilities to block most of the incoming gravel, knowing in her heart that this was actually more of a warning.
Warning Qian Ying to return the same way was a sign of respect for the prince.
Hyacinthus specifically asked Qian Ying for her opinion, and received a calm reply from the clenched-jawed girl.
"Keep moving forward."
...
...
To keep moving forward is to keep facing danger.
Naturally, it is impossible for a convoy of prince's servants to travel along a small road in a light manner. This would increase other people's ambitions and destroy one's own prestige out of thin air.
So the team moved on.
But if you ignore the warnings, there will be more and more severe warnings.
After walking only a few hundred meters, a follower suddenly reported: "The horse is dead."
Out of the reserve of the ancient nobles, Qian Ying chose a carriage instead of a carriage with a magic machine as the engine, but since If it's a carriage, it needs horses to pull it.
And horses can be beaten to death.
Qian Ying's face was ashen, and Hyacinth got out of the car to check, only to find that the four white horses pulling the cart had been shot in the head almost simultaneously with a needle-like concealed weapon from a distance, killing them instantly.
It is certainly not difficult to kill four horses, but it is not something that ordinary people can do to kill them all without anyone noticing.
Without horses, the cart would have to be pulled by people to move.
And Hyacinth knew better that if he continued to move forward, someone might die.
The other party's intention was very clear, that is, he didn't want him to go any further.
The followers around him were also fighting with both sides. After all, how many people could put their own life and death at risk.
This time to send Qian Ying back to the Qian family for a visit, Hyacinth ordered twenty-four capable guards in the crown prince's womb, while Qian Ying brought twelve of her usual maids. Although these people were old ladies in the crown prince's womb, People, but it is precisely because of the old people that they are difficult to control. His Highness the Crown Prince does not have time to clean up and replace them all, so he can only let himself and Qian Ying restrain them temporarily. But at this time, this kind of restraint can no longer be used. It won't seem very useful.
Because even a political idiot like Hyacinth knows that sending Qian Ying home to visit the bride is a blatant challenge from the Crown Prince to Princess Yue. Trying to restore Qian Ying's influence over the Qian family is to put a wedge in Princess Yue's chest. A sharp knife.
It's not surprising that the Moon Princess had such a reaction.
But when gods fight, they are the ones who always suffer.
There are as many as twelve carriages for Qian Ying's marriage. Most of the guards are on horseback guarding the front and rear wings. The carriages carry gifts from the maids and the prince. At present, only the horse in the front carriage is dead. It is natural to go forward. Continue, but the opponent can kill four horses, so how can he not kill all the horses?
After the horse is killed, people may die.
"Master Guard." A guard said in front of Hyacinth: "We must report back to the Crown Prince, we can't go any further."
After all, we don't even know who the enemy is. Even if he is really killed here, it is just Just die in vain.
Hyacinth bit her lip slightly, turned around and walked onto the carriage, looking at Qian Ying who was sitting quietly in the carriage: "If we continue walking, we will all die." Qian Ying raised her head, the
girl's face was a little pale, of course she would be scared, Of course there is a fear of death.
She had just gained the power to seek justice, and she didn't want to throw it away in vain.
But when the girl spoke, the blond prince's attendant showed a somewhat pale smile: "His Royal Highness the prince's order is for me to return to Qian's family to visit my relatives." "If he doesn't let me come back, then I will continue on
. "
Hyacinth nodded silently.
The prince asked them to crawl over to the Qian family's manor, and even if they died, they would die on the way.
The white-haired boy nodded, stepped out of the carriage, and announced loudly: "Keep moving forward."
Before he finished speaking, all the white horses, including the mounts under the guards' crotches, let out a long cry and flipped over to death.
A sinister voice sounded coldly.
"There is a way to hell. If you are willing to go, then come."
