Chapter 221: Gains and Losses (1)
If that's really the case, then what should they do!
Ah Shuo, Mr. Su, Binary, Dumb, Chunxiao...... They're all still in Linlang Mountain!
He Rong was only such a threat before, but after all, he himself was still on the mountain and did not evacuate, just this less than a cup of tea, Chu Yunsheng believed that even He Rong would not have such a fast speed to leave Linlang Mountain even if he had wings, so she didn't think of this at all when she was taken down from the hanging basket by Hua Wu.

I didn't expect that Hua Wu would betray Su Jingxuan, and this mysterious man in black would join forces with Chu Yunting and Chu Yunyi......
All of this looked like traps that had been prepared for a long time, just waiting for them to jump in.
The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind.
So, whose person is that yellow finch?
Chu Yunsheng's mind was spinning rapidly, but the reality didn't give her so much time to think, because after being drugged by the man in black, her head had begun to swell, her eyes had begun to blur, and the surrounding scene was gradually blurred, and the only clear perception was the deafening explosion sound in the distance.
I don't know how many fire and thunder He Rong and Chu Yunting have buried, they have such power, Chu Yunsheng was held hostage by those black-clothed people to the boat, and he had obviously floated out a long way along the current, but he could still feel the waves on the river driven by the sudden landslide and cracking, and the boat they were in was also crumbling by the sudden rise of the river waves.
At this time, Chu Yunsheng was full of only Ah Shuo's safety, but even though she was anxious, she still couldn't resist the effect of the drug that was poured down...... Soon, the roar in her ears gradually faded, and her eyes began to darken, and as the last tears fell from the corners of her eyes, she also fell into boundless darkness......
*********
A country house somewhere outside the city of the King of Chu.
There was just a spring rain, and everywhere was still wet, because it was deserted all year round, and a thick layer of moss grew on the bluestone slabs in this courtyard, and it was very slippery to step on it because of the rain.
A woman in a pink dress carried a food box and carefully stepped on the bluestone slab step by step to the side room behind the courtyard, even so, her skirt and pearl embroidered shoes were already stained with large water stains, she only looked down, and a touch of pity instantly rose in her eyes: "Hey, how could my father hide my brother in such a desolate place, the humidity here is so heavy, and it is not good for my brother's health." ”
"What Miss said is very true, but the capital is not very peaceful, plus the eldest prince has offended His Royal Highness the Imperial Prince before, before the matter comes to an end, the general can only hide the eldest prince first according to His Royal Highness the Prince's instructions to avoid the limelight, if it is seen by His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson, it will not be good. ”
She was followed by a thirteen or fourteen-year-old maid, who looked very clever.
This woman is none other than Shen Xiaoxiao, the daughter of the general of the Chu State.
"Miss, let the slave maid mention it. The little maid behind her looked at Shen Xiaoxiao and wanted to take the food box in her hand.
However, she was stopped by Shen Xiaoxiao shaking her head, and she said with a smile: "Since I am looking at my brother, I naturally have to bring it myself to represent my heart." ”
"The relationship between the young lady and the eldest prince is really good. Seeing that she mentioned Shen Zimiao's smile like a flower, the little maid also laughed.
"My mother left early, and my father didn't continue the strings, so there were only me and my brother under our knees, so the relationship between the two of us was naturally much better than that of others. Shen Xiaoxiao turned her eyes to look at the maid and smiled, then turned around and continued to walk into the courtyard with the food box.
Only after turning the flower wall and passing through the corridor, I saw that there were dozens of guards outside to protect the room, and when they saw Shen Xiaoxiao coming from a distance, they immediately got up and bowed down and got out of the way.
Shen Xiaoxiao left the little maid outside, opened the door and walked in with the food box.
As soon as she pushed the door open, she was greeted by a musty and turbid breath, she couldn't help frowning, but she still walked in with the food box and walked in, and called sweetly to Shen Zimao, who was lazily leaning on the recliner: "Brother"
Seeing that she was coming, Shen Zimiao raised her eyelids and returned to her listless appearance.
"Look what I've brought you. Shen Xiaoxiao was about to step forward with the food box, but the steps under her feet were just a step out, and she opened her eyes wide and looked at Shen Zimiao and said: "The humidity in this room is so heavy, how can my brother always stay in it to take care of his body, he should go out and walk around more." ”
"Do you think it's because I want to stay here all day? It's not because I've been scolded by my dad and thought about it behind closed doors. Shen Zimiao didn't even raise his eyelids this time, and he was noncommittal to Shen Xiaoxiao's words.
However, Shen Xiaoxiao didn't care about his cold attitude at all, raised her eyes and said with a smile: "The sun is just right outside, it just so happens that I brought my brother's favorite wine and food, just now when I passed by the front yard, I found that the apricot blossoms in the yard are blooming just right, why don't my brother follow me to the apricot blossom tree to sit down," said her smart eyes, glanced at the guards outside and said: "Father just said that he let his brother think about it behind closed doors, but he didn't say that he didn't let his brother eat, and he also ordered me to bring wine and food to my brother, do you want to stop it?"
Hearing this, the guards looked at each other, and finally had to get out of the way.
Seeing this, Shen Zimiao's complexion eased a lot, he sighed helplessly, and stood up to tidy up the clothes on his body a little, and then followed Shen Xiaoxiao out of the room.
Shen Xiaoxiao walked in front with a food box in one hand and a skirt in the other, walking easily, completely innocent, Shen Zimiao looked at her back, and felt a little ashamed in her heart.
Last time, when he was lurking on the boat to chase and kill the imperial grandson Su Jingxuan, his words were not wrong, he did use his sister to deliberately reveal King Ling's intentions to her, and now looking at her appearance, I don't know if I don't know it, or I didn't take it to heart.
In short, no matter which one it is, it can make the trace of guilt in Shen Zimiao's heart take root and sprout, and his steps under his feet accelerated, and he followed Shen Xiaoxiao's steps in three or two steps, and took the food box from her hand.
Seeing this, Shen Xiaoxiao raised her eyes and smiled at him, those eyes were clear and innocent, which deepened the guilt in Shen Zixiao's heart a little, he must compensate her well in the future, and was secretly thinking in his heart, Shen Xiaoxiao had already stood at the door of the courtyard in front of him, and said to the few people who followed behind him: "Our brothers and sisters talk, you can just serve outside, I will give orders if there is something." ”
As she spoke, she beckoned and smiled: "Brother, what are you doing in a daze, hurry up, the food is cold." ”
Shen Yingqi picked up his steps and hurriedly followed.
This courtyard is really as Shen Xiaoxiao said, although the courtyard is a little deserted and overgrown with weeds, but there is a big apricot tree in the courtyard, and the huge branches cover half of the yard.
The branches and leaves on the apricot tree have not yet unfolded, only clusters of pink apricot blossoms have bloomed, from a distance, it seems to be draped in a brocade woven by clouds, the difference is that under the blowing of the spring breeze, there are petals falling on this brocade from time to time, flying like rain, and becoming a painting alone.
Shen Xiaoxiao took out a handkerchief and wiped the rain-stained petals off the stone table, wiped the two stone benches clean, sat down and smiled sweetly at Shen Zimiao: "Hurry up, brother." ”
Shen Zimiao hurriedly stepped forward and put down the food box, opened it and saw that there were a few side dishes he usually liked to eat, as well as a pot of good Huadiao, his eyes lit up, he sat down and opened Huadiao first and poured himself a cup to satisfy his hunger, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, Xiaoxiao still understands me." ”
Shen Xiaoxiao raised her hand and laid out a few side dishes one by one, and then looked at Shen Zimiao with her cheeks and said, "Brother, I heard my father's conversation with you." ”
"Huh?" Hearing this, Shen Zimiao was stunned for a moment, drank the sip of wine, restrained the smile on his face and raised his eyebrows: "What did you hear?"
The elder brother, who was gentle just now, immediately raised 100% vigilance just because of Shen Xiaoxiao's question, and his tone suddenly became cold.
Shen Xiaoxiao held her cheeks, looked over his shoulder, looked at the petals swirling in the air, and muttered, "Is it really His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who ordered you to do this?"
"What's the matter!" Shen Zimiao breathed a long sigh of relief, poured another glass of wine, drank it all in one gulp, and smashed his mouth at the end before he said: "Otherwise, who else will be, no matter how indulgent and bold your brother is, but he will not dare to do anything to rebel against the emperor's heir." ”
Speaking of this, his face froze, and his eyes looked directly at Shen Xiaoxiao and said: "This matter, since you have heard it, I will not hide it from you, but if you hear it here, you will forget it, if you go elsewhere to say it, when the time comes, don't blame my brother and father for not being able to protect you." ”
"But...... Brother Jing is the biological son of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince do this......" Shen Xiaoxiao retracted her eyes and looked at Shen Zimiao with disbelief.
"Since ancient times, for that position, have there been fewer things about cannibalism in all dynasties?" Shen Zimiao put down the cup, pulled his neckline, and only drank two sips of wine, he felt that his body was a little hot, and he really had been imprisoned for too long, he sighed, thinking of the days after being imprisoned by Su Jingshuo since that boat, there was a trace of ruthlessness in his eyes, and when he looked at him on the opposite side, the ruthlessness in his eyes disappeared in an instant, and he only said coldly: " Also, don't blame me for being my brother for not reminding you, or break your thoughts about His Royal Highness the Emperor as soon as possible, the son of a family with many civil and military families in the Manchu Dynasty is waiting to step into the threshold of my Shen family, as long as you like it, my brother and father will definitely make decisions for you, but he can't do it alone. ”
"Why?!" Shen Xiaoxiao's face changed, a bubble of tears instantly appeared in her eyes, and she looked at Shen Zimiao with some grievances and said: "I don't want the son of a family, I just want Brother Jing, whether he is the grandson of the emperor, whether he is a flat-headed commoner, whether he inherits the unification in the future, whether he is stripped of power and loses favor, I just want to marry him, and my brother can't agree?"
"This ......"
Seeing that Shen Xiaoxiao was so obsessed, Shen Zimiao was a little speechless for a while, he sighed and said: "Things are not as simple as you think, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not let him go, and this time he ......"
Speaking of this, Shen Zimiao realized that he had said too much, and immediately shut up, only to return to a cold face and look at Shen Xiaoxiao, and said warningly: "In short, it is absolutely impossible for you and him." ”
However, Shen Xiaoxiao's attention was already on the second half of his sentence, and she suddenly looked at Shen Zimiao with wide eyes and said, "Brother said that he this time, what's wrong with this time?" Brother, you are talking!"
"It doesn't hurt to tell you, your brother Jing won't come back alive. Shen Zimiao was urged by Shen Xiaoxiao to have no choice, his eyes turned cold, he drank another glass of wine, and said fiercely: "Otherwise, do you think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will rescue me from his subordinates so blatantly?"
Syllable!
The sound of the wine cup breaking at the moment of landing sounded crisply, which made Shen Xiaoxiao wake up from her trance, her eyes lit up, changing her usual innocence and harmlessness, and said, "No, Brother Jing will be fine." ”
"Then we'll see. Shen Zimiao shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said with a smile: "Even if he comes back, this King of Chu is waiting for him in the net, where do you think he can escape?"
"So, is this the reason why my father secretly mobilized his cronies to return to Beijing?" Shen Xiaoxiao raised her eyes, looked at Shen Zimiao and said: "Brother, Brother Jing has the talent of the world, can't you and your father think that if you support him to ascend the throne, it will be far more reliable than the crown prince?" Moreover, if Brother Jing becomes the emperor, then I am the queen, for our Shen family, it is not a wealth that is pouring into the sky, when the time comes, what kind of power and wealth that my brother wants to get will be less than what he gets from the prince?" Brother, it's too late to turn back, we ......"
"Enough!" Before Shen Xiaoxiao could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Shen Zimiao raising his hand and throwing a cup.
The green jade cup fell into the weeds and was not broken, but most of the Huadiao wine inside was spilled.
Shen Zimiao only looked at Shen Xiaoxiao and said: "Don't forget what your identity is, I said it, my father and I will only stand on the side of the prince, and I can't allow you to be a lobbyist here, I thought you really came to visit my brother, but it turned out to be for your sweetheart to intercede, then I tell you, impossible, the general trend has been decided, your brother Jing may be dead in the wilderness now, and you, since you are so stubborn, I will also persuade my father to set a family affair for you as soon as possible and marry you off." ”
After saying this, Shen Zimiao felt that a hot fire suddenly rose in his heart, and the flower carving he had just drunk had already made him a little drunk, coupled with her anger, this fire in his heart suddenly became hot.
He looked at Shen Xiaoxiao coldly, and in addition to the look of disappointment, there was anger in his eyes.
However, at this time, Shen Xiaoxiao got up happily, looked at him lightly, and said in a cold tone that had never been before: "Is this my brother's choice?"
