Chapter 313: Falling Into a Trap

In order to control the little prince, the queen mother must not make any mistakes. Her people are out in full force. Now there is no one to use. Fortunately, Cao Guangyi listens to her orders.

I fell into a trap last night and suffered heavy losses.

The incident in the Gu Mansion last night was afraid that Tingyuan would use it to criticize me.

The people of the Gu family disappeared out of thin air, and all the things buried in the house disappeared. The queen mother believed that it was the Lin'an County Lord and Su Wan who joined forces. After all, this plan was the idea of ​​Lin'an County Lord. Unless she had this motive, the dead soldiers would not betray her.

She did not believe that Su Wan could kill all the dead soldiers by herself. The queen mother suspected that Tingyuan or Zhao Wei had done it.

The queen mother ordered Cao Guangyi to arrange people to keep an eye on the Zhaoguogong Mansion and the Regent Prince Mansion.

Cao Guangyi was the governor before, in charge of local military, political and financial power. He was transferred back to Beijing because he had ulterior motives, which was to deprive him of his power. How could Cao Guangyi give up his power easily? He has been in a stalemate with the court, and no suitable position has been arranged for him.

Now he still has military power in his hands. Last night, he was asked to besiege Gu Mansion. If things went smoothly according to their plan, they would be able to turn the tables. Unfortunately, they failed, which was even more disadvantageous to Cao Guangyi.

Therefore, Cao Guangyi attached great importance to it and sent several elite troops to guard the gates of the Regent's Mansion and the Duke of Zhao's Mansion, and even the Grand Princess's Mansion.

Tingyuan took Gu Jingyun out of the Regent's Mansion, got on a carriage, and slowly drove towards the palace.

The people who were ambushing in the dark stared at Gu Jingyun, and shuddered. Is this the little prince that Lord Cao is looking for?

Several people exchanged glances, not knowing what to do. After all, the person in front of them was a young cabinet elder. What if they rashly snatched people and their deeds were exposed?

Finally, it was decided to let one person go to Lord Cao for a decision. Who knew that Meng Yushi reported Lord Cao and the Queen Mother, and Lord Cao was summoned to the palace.

"What should we do? Stop him or not?"

"Lord Cao said that the little prince is related to his future. If he is not in his hands, he will be dealt with by the court at will. In his hands, he can make a beautiful comeback."

"But, but that is the young cabinet minister. If we offend him..."

"So we can only succeed. The little prince is taken back. What about the young cabinet minister? We can accuse him of holding the prince hostage at will!"

Several people discussed and made a decision to find a chance to take back the little prince.

They followed the carriage to the bustling streets. The wide streets were crowded with people and traffic.

"After walking a little further, we will reach the Wucheng Bingmasi official office. If we go out, we will be captured by the Wucheng Bingmasi people directly, which is equivalent to handing the handle to someone else. Not far from the Wucheng Bingmasi is the palace gate, so we can't do it." Lin Yuan asked Gao Song beside him: "We can only seize the opportunity in front of us."

Gao Song did not respond for a long time. It was too difficult to find an opportunity.

Fortunately, the young cabinet minister did not bring many people, only a coachman and two followers.

There were eight of them.

Just as they were about to set out, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly rang out on the street, making it particularly festive.

A long wedding procession came from afar, and was about to block the carriage of the Regent's Palace.

A few people looked at each other and saw a message in each other's eyes: the opportunity has come!

They took out smoke bombs from their pockets and threw them out when the wedding procession came over to create chaos so that they could rush into the carriage to grab people.

Maybe they could get the little prince without spending a single soldier.

"Bang——"

With an explosion, thick smoke filled the air, emitting a choking smell.

Pedestrians screamed in fear and ran around everywhere.

The wedding procession dispersed, and the sedan bearers were afraid of missing the auspicious time, so they didn't dare to wait for the smoke to dissipate before leaving. Moreover, the smoke was too suffocating, and tears fell uncontrollably. They stumbled and carried the sedan chair and quickly brushed past the carriage to escape.

This elite group covered half of their faces and rushed out, intercepting the carriage. Mo Li and the driver who were accompanying them fought.

In the chaos, the horses were frightened, neighed, and ran away.

"Stop the horses!" Gao Song said urgently, stopping Mo Li and Mo Han.

The other people entangled the driver.

Lin Yuan rushed away and stabbed with a sword.

The horses fell to the ground with a bang, and the carriage fell over.

Lin Yuan coldly used a long sword to pick up the curtain, his pupils suddenly shrank, and the carriage was empty.

Tingyuan and Gu Jingyun disappeared.

"Impossible!"

They followed all the way here, and they didn't see the carriage stop at all. How could this person disappear out of thin air?

Lin Yuan looked around blankly, and several carriages passed by him and left.

Suddenly, Lin Yuan remembered something. When the smoke bomb was used as a sleight of hand, it was to take people away smoothly without exposing their identities.

Would Tingyuan also take this opportunity to escape and blend into the crowd?

No——

The target is too obvious. If you blend into the crowd, you will definitely be discovered!

Mo Li and Mo Han did not get entangled. They feinted and left.

Gao Song's target was not these two people, and he did not chase them. Instead, he saw that something was wrong with Lin Yuan: "What's wrong?" He saw that the carriage was empty, where was the figure of the little prince, and his face was livid: "The sedan chair?"

"Chase!" Gao Song saw that Mo Han and Mo Li were going in the opposite direction, and it was obvious that the sedan chair was very suspicious.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? Meeting a wedding at this critical moment?

The wedding procession did not go far, and they were soon caught up by them.

"Ah——Murder! Murder! Help!"

The matchmaker was terrified when she saw the ferocious group of people, and she shouted and hid.

The sedan bearers abandoned the sedan and fled.

Gao Song, with a stern face, opened the curtain of the sedan and saw a bride in wedding clothes sitting inside, her slender body trembling.

He pulled off the red veil, revealing the bride's face, which was pale, with tears in her eyes. She stared at them in fear, her lips trembling as she tried to speak, but she lost her voice and trembled even more.

Gao Song clenched the red veil and threw it to the ground.

"What should we do? Should we continue to chase them?" Lin Yuan's face was also very ugly. "Let's take a shortcut and quickly block the road in front of the Wucheng Bingma Division. Search every passing carriage?"

"Do you want to die?!" Gao Song looked behind Lin Yuan, his pupils shrank, "Run!"

The people of the Wucheng Bingma Division rode their horses and rushed over, shouting: "There is trouble in the imperial city, do you still have the law in your eyes? Surrender and avoid physical pain!"

Two-legged people naturally cannot outrun four-legged horses. Lin Yuan and Gao Song escaped. The people of the Wucheng Bingma Division caught four people and took them back for interrogation.

Mo Han and Mo Li walked out from the dark. It was a pity that four people ran away. They couldn't come forward to help catch people together, but four people were enough to convict Cao Guangyi.

Mo Yuan led two horses over and handed them to the two people.

They took the horses and rushed to the palace. When they were at the gate of the palace, they just caught up with Ting Yuan and Gu Jingyun, who just got off the carriage.

Mo Li breathed a sigh of relief. The master guessed that someone would stop him, so he specially arranged a wedding procession to provide an opportunity for those who were hiding in the dark. If those people did not show up, the master would release smoke bombs himself to create a scene of assassination and lure the snake out of the hole. Those people must not miss such a good opportunity.

However, before the master directed and acted out the assassination, Cao Guangyi's people could not wait to take action.

The master took the little prince to sit in the sedan chair and left, and then changed to a carriage to enter the palace. Then he sent someone to the Wucheng Bingma Division to inform the news and arrested the person.

The commander of the Wucheng Bingma Division was the regent's man.

"Master, it's done." Mo Li whispered.

Tingyuan nodded slightly, looked at the increasingly silent Gu Jingyun, touched his head, and took him to Weiyang Palace.
