Intrauterine

A man dressed in black covered his face with a hat on his clothes, walked briskly through the palace, and was stopped by Ouchi's guards when he reached the main hall.

"Stop!" take off your hat and raise your head!" a large internal guard stretched out his hand to stop the man in black and asked him with a haughty gesture.

The man in black didn't even look at the guard, took out a token from his waist and threw it at the guard's hand.

The guard glanced at the man inexplicably, and then moved his gaze to the token, and the whole person was instantly frightened, and the token in his hand almost came out of his hand. - The token belongs to the Iron Blood, and can only be owned by a general or a person of the rank of commander or above, and the holder of this token can directly meet the saint.

"Big ...... My lord, the villain has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, I was offended just now, and I ask my lord to forgive me. ”

The man didn't look at the trembling guard who was kneeling on the ground, took the token directly from the guard's hand, pushed the door open and walked in.

After the man in black left, the guard got up from the ground, looked back in fear, and soothed his frightened little heart with his hand, before asking his companion in a trembling tone, "Who was that adult just now? ”

The companion shook his head blankly, and the two looked at each other and frowned in confusion.

......

"See Your Majesty. The man in black knelt down on one knee and saluted, Emperor Zhaoning had his back to him, and when he heard him salute, he turned around leisurely, "Flat." ”

The man in black got up and slowly lifted his hat, revealing his original face. - It turns out that he is the second-in-command of the Iron and Blood Army, a shadow buried in the shadows of Emperor Zhaoning, and also the henchman of Emperor Zhaoning - the commander of the second division of the Iron and Blood Army, Nangong Ying.

"Your Majesty, the officials have come up to report it. ”

Say. ”

King Guang presented the result - he said that King Yi insisted that King Gong had framed him, and he didn't say much else. ”

"Interesting. Emperor Zhaoning smiled slightly, "Yelan has returned home?"

"Yes. ”

"Anything else?"

"Shangshu Mansion has just been destroyed. Shangshu ordered Liu Ji and his son Liu Ping to serve in the Criminal Department, and Liu Zhe in the Hubu Langzhong were all killed, and none of the more than 30 members of the Shangshu Mansion family were spared. In addition, Liu Ji's nephew, a member of the military department, and the family of Wailang Liu Che were not spared, except for Liu Che's three-year-old daughter, who was the only one alive. ”

"What about the little girl?"

"I don't know where to go. ”

"Who did it?"

"It's supposed to be a temple. ”

"How do you know?"

When he arrived, there was a note on the table with a cross drawn on it, which was the symbol of the temple. Nangong Ying paused and added, "The little girl should have been taken away by the temple, as for whether she is dead or alive, I don't know." ”

Emperor Zhaoning slowly walked down the steps, his tone was a little heavy, "Long Yaotian's move surprised me, what does he want to do?"

"The temple has never intervened in temple disputes, and this is a bit odd. ”

"Nangong Ying, check this Long Yaotian for me, it's best to make an appointment with him in my name. ”

"Your Majesty, this is a bit difficult. Nangong Ying hesitated for a moment, this was the first time he had said this to Emperor Zhaoning. "Your Majesty, the minister is now only a counselor at the outer gate of the temple, and he is not qualified to meet the temple boss, and he can't even enter the assembly of the temple leaders. ”

"I've been lurking for eight years, but I'm just an outer counselor. There was a hint of doubt and frustration in Emperor Zhaoning's tone, but more helplessness and sighing.

"The high-level members of the temple are all personally selected by Long Aoming, there is no standard, it all depends on Long Aoming's intuition and trust. It turns out that Long Ao's vision is very accurate, and all the people he selected to enter the top of the temple are loyal to him, and there are no people with two hearts, and no one who is installed by any force can enter the top of the temple - all of them are outer disciples like me. ”

"People's hearts are the most untrustworthy, and the widow doesn't believe that Long Aoming really has this skill to reach the sky. Even so, people's hearts are fickle, and how do you know that after a long time, no one among them will have two hearts. Emperor Zhaoning's voice was low, and he glanced at Nangong Ying coldly, "You go down." ”

"The minister will try his best, please wait for the news of the minister. The man in black made a gesture, put on his hat to cover his face, and turned a few steps away from the main hall.

Inside the dark passage of the Kyoto Restaurant

"Have you done everything the Lord has explained?" Qingzhu said coldly to the downright Yuyu.

"My people are very clean. As the Lord commanded, a symbol was left behind, and the royal people knew that we had done it. Yu replied to him coldly.

"What about the little girl?" asked Aotake.

"Throw it to Liye, and the Lord asked Liye to take her as a closed disciple. Yu Yu replied.

"I don't understand, why does the Lord leave a living mouth?" Maple Dust interjected. "Isn't this a hidden danger for yourself?"

"The Lord's meaning, the concubine is not guilty. Qingzhu said lightly, "This action is for personal gain, but Liu Ji and others privately looted the people's fat and ointment, and they have done all the bad things of forming a party for personal gain, and it is not a pity to die." It's just that Liu Che's daughter is not guilty. A three-year-old child, born to a concubine, doesn't care about Liu Che, it doesn't matter much if you know about this matter or not. Liye is his master, if there is a dissenting heart, get rid of it. ”

"It's more than that. Li Ye suddenly interjected, "His daughter was born and her mother died, and she was left unattended. Liu Che stayed in the place of fireworks every day and ignored his daughter. Don't you think it's the same as ...... Are the experiences similar?"

"You mean that the Lord has compassion. Maple Dust suddenly realized.

"Poor man. Yu Yu said coldly.

"That's the end of it, there's no need to talk about it again. Qingzhu said coldly to the other three, "Does the Lord have any other orders?"

"Shui Xuan has no news. Yu Yu replied coldly.

"That's good. Qingzhu glanced at the three of them, "Kyoto has withdrawn first, and each of them will go back to the states, and there is something to make a secret contact." ”

"Aren't there any people left in Kyoto?" asked Kaede.

"The Predators have found out. It is enough to have a water swirl in Kyoto. Qingzhu said coldly, "Nothing is gone." ”

......

Prince Gong's Mansion

"Your Highness, there is news from the prison of the Criminal Department. One of the guards bowed to Yeshu.

Ye Shu raised his hand and motioned for him. The guard nodded, "King Guang has left, and there is a decree in the palace to release King Yi." ”

"What happened to Yelan?" asked Yeshu with a frown.

"The palace said, His Royal Highness the King of Light presented a confession, and said...... said that King Yi insisted that you were framed. ”

"Joke!" Ye Shu said angrily, "This king was assassinated, but he said that this king framed him." Could it be that the king himself wants to kill himself?"

"But...... But His Majesty listened and released King Yi. The guard said cautiously.

"What did my father say?"

"Your Majesty only said that King Yi was released, and did not mention His Highness in the slightest. The guard's hands trembled slightly.

"Let's go down. Ye Shu flicked his sleeves and said.

The guard didn't move, hesitated for a moment, and had the courage to finish speaking, "Your Highness, there is one more matter. The family of Liu Ji of Shangshu Mansion and the family of Wailang Liu Che, a member of the military department, were killed. ”

"What!" Ye Shu was stunned, "the news is true?"

"It's from the palace, it's very reliable. ”

"Go down. Ye Shu's face had not yet eased up, obviously shocked by the news from the guards.

"Master, do you think that Ye Ji will be released and Liu Ji will be destroyed...... These two things confuse me. Ye Shu didn't know how to organize his words, and he felt confused about the two inexplicable things that had happened suddenly.

Nan Xuanji looked at him silently for a long time before he spoke: "Since there is chaos in your mind, it is better to wait and see what happens." ”

"What does Master mean?" Ye Shu looked at Nan Xuanji in confusion.

"My junior brother, Nangong Ying, the commander of the Second Division of the Iron and Blood Army, has returned. He has no news for me, proving that His Highness is fine for the time being, so there is no need to worry. Nan Xuanji comforted him.

"Master. Ye Shu's expression was a little melancholy, and he seemed to hesitate for a long time before he spoke, "Actually, Ye Xiaodao is not my person, and the assassination case is indeed planned by me, but I didn't let people assassinate Yao'er, what I really planned was to assassinate myself myself." Although the final outcome is the same, it ...... This is not in line with the original plan. And ......"

Before Ye Shu finished speaking, Nan Xuanji interrupted him and said, "Ye Xiaodao is not your person. ”

"He was looking for Fei Wei, but Fei Wei didn't know his details. It's just a random killer from the countryside, gave him gold and land, and told him to commit suicide in prison after being caught, and I will settle my family. I have kept the evidence, if he commits suicide, then the evidence will be even more conclusive, and the night will be certain. But he didn't commit suicide, but confessed that Ye Ji was the killer, and if you think about it, I'm afraid things are not so simple. ”

"You already have some doubts about this, but you don't dare to say it, right?" Nan Xuanji saw through Ye Shu's meaning, "Then don't say it." Is... Intentionally, don't wade into this troubled water, just pretend not to know, so as not to get into trouble. ”

"Master's meaning, Ye Shu understood. Ye Shu bowed and saluted. "It's not too early, I'm afraid nothing will happen today. ”

"You will stay in the house in peace, and everything will be as usual. Nan Xuanji said to Ye Shu.
