Chapter 48: Assassination IV
When Xia Ziyan heard this, he turned his head and glanced at the scarred man deeply, and then said, "Cheng, do you think she will become my weakness and take precautions?"
"She is still young, and she already has such a look, if she grows up, she must be stunning, even if it is a small possibility, her subordinates are not willing to take this risk. ”
"No wonder you didn't like her from the beginning", although she didn't rest well last night, after all, she was still young, Xia Ziyan didn't have a trace of tiredness on the smile on his sunny face, he said: "The country is mostly because of the beauty, and the people are all because of the affection." ”
"There's nothing wrong with that, it's been true throughout the ages. ”
"History is only a record, and it can only be used for reference, not conclusions. ”
The man with the scar lowered his eyes and did not speak, but silence does not mean acceptance, sometimes it is just because the other party is thinking and waiting to fight back.
Xia Ziyan didn't give him a chance to fight back, and said, "Cheng, for people who don't have the ability, what he cares about and loves will become a weakness. A capable person will not be afraid that he will not be able to protect what he wants to protect. Even if you think that everything is still in case, but in this world, if you are strong, you are strong, which is the most basic thing, if you can't meet the strong, you are strong, what is the difference between you and the weak. ”
"But ......"
"No, but, I have already abandoned her once, if I abandon her again and put her in danger, what am I worth, how can I deal with myself in front of Fuluan?"
"The young master clearly made an oath and said that he would abandon the past, did the young master forget?"
"I haven't forgotten, I said that I must do it. Cheng, believe me, what I want to abandon in the past is the self who will protect myself, I can't protect the people I care about, I can't protect the weak self of my subordinates, I want to abandon such a self, but I can't abandon my conscience, otherwise, am I still the young master you want to follow?
His words drifted into the ears of the scar man, and the scar man finally fell silent and slowly retracted the hand holding the reins, but he still insisted, "This matter started because of his subordinates, please let his subordinates take this trip for the young master." ”
"No need, if something happens, if you go, it won't help, it will only cause a stalemate scene, what if I come out once? After all, she is from Tianshan, and if something happens, she has to take care of Tianshan's face. ”
Xia Ziyan said, whipping his horse away. The thick clouds in the east are gilded with a layer of sunlight, and the thin clouds are wrapped in sunlight, as if they have caused a fire and burned. The galloping horse galloped eastward, farther and farther, and finally the young figure on the horse was swept into a brilliant golden light, as if facing the flames.
******
In the early morning, the palace was so quiet that it seemed to be shrouded in a dream, and it had not been awakened. The sun did not completely sprinkle the whole earth, where there was light, it was hot, and where there was no light, it was all shadows, and every time the wind blew, it was sad and cold.
Wu Yan's figure appeared on the palace road, the tower was in the northwest direction, she went east in the sun, the tower was remote, and there was no one along the way, so she ran up, and suddenly she turned her head to look behind her, and her steps still did not slow down, but unfortunately, there was not the slightest movement behind her, like an illusion.
So she turned around and continued to run forward, but she still couldn't figure it out in her heart: where did Sister Ying go so early in the morning, at such a critical time, why was there no one on the road, and it was really as calm as the calm before the storm.
The palace road is vertical and horizontal, Wu Yan thought about it, suddenly turned under his feet, and his body had turned to another palace road, but he did not continue to run forward, but stood close to the wall, counted down five seconds in his heart, and suddenly stretched out his head to look out of the corner, and was looking at a person who was looking from the side of the palace road.
The man was wearing a silver helmet, which was the decoration of the guards, and the most important thing was the face, a face that Wu Yan could never forget,—— the owner of this face had stopped him in the streets in the middle of the night, when he wore his long hair and said disgusting and frightening things in the most frivolous voice.
By the way, no wonder I always feel that the gloomy voice I heard in front of Dongshanghua Gate is somewhat familiar, it turns out that it is not my own delusion, it is indeed an old man. Presumably he also recognized himself at that time, so he was not fooled by the other two little eunuchs, and secretly followed him from the east to Huamen to Suta, and then chased from Suta to here, what did he want to do?
Wu Yan thought in his heart, with a cold expression on his face, he glanced at the other party, and said word by word, "Good dogs don't get in the way." ”
This person is Feiying, he saw that he had been discovered by Wu Yan, so he simply stopped hiding, walked to the middle of the avenue, squinted at Wu Yan, and grinned to form an arc of laughter, but obviously he didn't laugh, "If I'm a dog, then what are you?"
Wu Yan didn't think about it, and replied when he opened his mouth, "I'm a dog meat eater." ”
Seeing that the face of the man opposite was not good-looking, Wu Yan was relieved and grinned, "In the past, his subordinates were defeated, but today I saw the winner, I don't want to be a person anymore, do you want to be a dog?"
At the same time, she put her hands behind her back, raised her chin and looked at each other with disdain, but in fact she secretly wrapped the whip around her waist around her left wrist.
They confronted each other across the palace road, and suddenly two female voices interjected, and soon they saw two palace maids in pink palace clothes walking out of a palace road, I don't know what else was in their hands, their steps were hurried, and their words were hurried, and Feiying, who was originally standing opposite Wu Yan, suddenly retracted his posture at this time, glanced at Wu Yan, and then turned his head to look at the palace road behind him, turned around and disappeared in front of Wu Yan.
Wu Yan felt strange, but her attention was attracted by the two little palace maids, and naturally she didn't notice that there were a few more small stones on the square bricks on the ground, rolling down on the position where Feiying had just stood, and a black figure flashed on the glazed tiles of the red palace wall, and that direction was also the direction in which Feiying disappeared and left.
- The little palace maid on the left is saying, "I heard that this is specially made by the queen mother to find a craftsman outside the palace, I don't know what it looks like, you slow down, let's secretly open it and take a look, feast your eyes." ”
"Look at you as a gluttonous ghost without luck, Niang Niang sent this to Miss Lu Kui, how much meaning can it have, I'm afraid it is...... If it's going to be done, you won't be able to see it in the future?"
The voice in front of the palace maid walking on the right was very low, and the back simply leaned on the other party's ear and whispered, but he didn't know what he was talking about, which caused the other party to sigh again and again, and repeatedly asked, "Really?"
The palace maid on the right was a little impatient, glanced at no one left and right, and did not continue to press down, "It doesn't matter if he is really fake, this Miss Lu Kui is different from others, I see, in the eyes of Niangniang, even if she can't be a daughter-in-law, she will be recognized as a goddaughter in the future." ”
"That's right, the eldest prince is too attentive to Miss Lu Kui, and the Lu family is also a good match, so it's not surprising that she really became an imperial concubine. I don't know what will happen to Liuyun, I want to fly on the branches as a phoenix, it's difficult. ”
Wu Yan didn't care whether what they said was true or false, she followed them from a distance, pretending to be nothing, but in fact it was just because she was going to find the queen mother.
Because the guard who appeared in the tower said with his last breath before losing his mind was-"Please go and report to the queen, the emperor has been assassinated......"
