Chapter 254: Confession
She sighed, then looked at Chu Yunsheng and said, "How could I not believe you? If I don't believe you, I can go and verify it myself, and I can't ask you this again." ”
Speaking of this, He Yueying paused, she looked away, looked over Chu Yunsheng's shoulder and looked at the door, at that time, her voice sounded tired and tight: "I just didn't expect your identity to be so complicated, and I should also be the enemy's place for you, don't you hate me?"
The bits and pieces of getting along with Chu Yunsheng these days came to He Yueying's mind, and she clearly felt Chu Yunsheng's sincerity to her, so she didn't need Chu Yunsheng to explain, she also knew that Chu Yunsheng would not use her.
It's just that the more she knows Chu Yunsheng's identity, the more she knows who she is and what she has done to herself, the more uncomfortable He Yueying's heart becomes.
Chu Yunsheng saw what she was thinking at a glance, at this time the time was urgent, she had a lot of things she wanted to say to He Yueying, but she had to suppress them, and finally when it came to her mouth, she had to say in a few words: "You are you, He Rong is He Rong, I will not confuse you together, don't worry." ”
As he spoke, Chu Yunsheng was about to turn around and continue walking, when He Yueying suddenly said, "Thank you...... I ......"
He Yueying didn't say the next words, but she was stopped by Chu Yunsheng's eyes, she stepped forward, gently hugged He Yueying, and gently patted He Yueying's back with her hand, and then said: " I know that you are different, I also know your worries and concerns, you can rest assured, we don't say anything between us, you are my friend, sister, I will not force you to choose between us in the future, now we just do the deal we agreed before, wait until we escape from here safely, and then the sky is high and the clouds are high, I will definitely send you to a place of peace, away from these troubled times. ”
Hearing this, the last struggle in He Yueying's heart was gone, she bit her lip, and then nodded vigorously at Chu Yunsheng.
The two seemed to be making some kind of promise tacitly.
This time, He Yueying didn't stop Chu Yunsheng anymore, and let her and Su Yun go out.
******
At this time, in another courtyard in the palace of King Wei, the atmosphere was particularly strange.
He Rong lowered his eyes and looked at the black-clothed man kneeling in front of him lightly, at this time, although his demeanor was calm, there seemed to be a surge of anger in those eyes.
The man in black knelt in front of him, only feeling that he could be engulfed by the anger surging in He Rong's eyes in an instant, so he didn't dare to move.
"When did this happen?"
He Rong's voice was still faint, but there was a terrifying killing intent hidden in the faint voice.
The man in black was stunned, and he didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately said, "I ...... three days ago."
As soon as his voice fell, he suddenly felt a cold light shoot from above his head, even if he was also a person who crawled out of the death pile, but at this time he still felt fear when he felt this sharp gaze.
"The Lord ......"
"You mean you only got the news out three days ago?"
He Rong's voice was unprecedentedly cold, and the cold timbre seemed to be able to freeze people to death in place.
When the man in black heard this, he didn't even dare to raise his head, but only knelt there trembling.
Although he didn't answer, He Rong could already see it from his reaction.
"Get out!"
Just one word, it is already full of killing intent.
After hearing this word, the man in black immediately got up from the ground like an amnesty, and then disappeared in front of He Rong as fast as he could, for fear that He Rong would change his mind if it was too late.
After his figure completely disappeared, He Rong stood up from his position, he stood with his hands in his hands, and his right hand behind his back was still holding the fire paint secret letter sent by the man in black just now.
Although the outside of the secret letter was covered with blood, he had already read the contents clearly.
"He Xin. ”
After a long time, He Rong spit out these two words.
After the pronunciation of these two words fell, the young man who had been guarding outside appeared in front of He Rong in a flash.
"What does the Lord command?"
He Rong raised his hand and threw the secret letter in his hand to him.
He Xin hurriedly took it, and after he unfolded it and saw the contents inside, his face changed greatly, "Lord, is this news true?"
Although it is impossible to know the news of the Lord, the stakes of this secret letter are too great to believe.
He Rong didn't speak, only was silent, turned back to the chair, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
He Xin took a deep breath before he said, "There are 100,000 defenders in the border city of my Zhao State, how can I be so easily designed by that little boy of the Chu State......? This ......"
He Xin tightly squeezed the fire paint secret letter written in black and white with his hand, and he couldn't believe what was said above.
During the time when he and He Rong came to defend the country, Su Jingshuo of the Chu State had already taken advantage of the situation to break through the border of Zhao State with the Qin family's army in two ways, and at this time, he actually came to the capital of Zhao Wangdu!
And the seriousness of the matter does not stop there, the date on the letter was six days ago.
Six days.
What a concept.
Using the flying pigeon to pass the book and the fire paint to expedite the secret letter, under normal circumstances, the slowest time for such an urgent news to be sent to the king is two days, and now, six days have passed.
What happened in the middle of this will make this news delay for four days before it was delivered, and in the past six days, what happened to Zhao Wangdu's situation is still unknown.
Thinking of this, He Xin finally understood why He Rong's mood had become so bad since the man in black who delivered the letter just now.
I don't know if He Rong didn't want to talk to He Xin because he was angry, or because he was thinking about it.
In the face of He Xin's questioning, He Rong was still silent.
Such a look is terrible.
It was so terrifying that even He Xin, who had been with him since he was a child, felt terrifying.
In the face of such He Rong, he didn't dare to say more, just waiting for him to speak.
I don't know how long it has been, until He Xin felt that his legs were a little numb, and then He Rongdao, who listened: "The news can be blocked for so long, it can be seen that Su Jingshuo has already laid out a heavy defense line on the border of the country, and now you go back in person, pass on my order, and quickly transfer the 100,000 defenders in the south to copy the Chu army from behind." ”
"However, my lord, if the army is transferred from the south to outflank the Chu army, then King Zhao is very likely to fall into the hands of the Chu army...... The people in the city and the Manchu civil and military ...... Even...... The Queen's ......"
After thinking about it for a while, He Xin still opened his mouth to ask his doubts.
Hearing this, He Rong's eyebrows furrowed imperceptibly, he sighed, raised his hand and tightly clasped it on the handle of the chair carved by red pear blossom wood, and then said, "You send someone else to the city to meet them." ”
Hearing this, He Xin still had doubts on his face, but after facing He Rong's eyes, he didn't dare to say more, and finally only asked: "Lord, won't you go back with me?"
In this case, He Rong should rush back to preside over the overall situation, because if he is not careful, Zhao Guo will be doomed!
However, at this time, looking at He Rong's expression, he did not plan to go back with him all the way, could it be that even at this point, He Rong still put the matter of defending the country in the first place? He Xin was puzzled, so he asked like this: "Lord, since the dust has settled on the matter of defending the country, there is no need for us to stay here any longer, now that King Xiao He, who is cooperating with us, has already taken over the power, and the prince of Xiao Chuyan and others are all in the calculation of the lord, forgive them and they can't make any waves, why do you waste your energy here?"
Hearing this, the corners of He Rong's mouth raised slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile, and he said lightly: "What do you know, this good show of defending the country has just begun, and it is ......"
Speaking of this, He Rong paused, and he raised his head to look out the door.
The moon is bright and the stars are scarce outside.
It can be seen that tomorrow is another good weather.
He seemed to be looking at the moon in the sky, and he seemed to be looking farther through the moon, thinking of more places.
He Xin saw that he had no words and was about to receive the order, but suddenly heard him mutter: "The key to reversing the defeat of Zhao State is also here." ”
He said this sentence very lightly and lightly, but he also let He Xin hear it, however, even if he heard it, he still couldn't understand the meaning of He Rong's words, and was about to ask more, but saw that He Rong had already waved his hand and signaled him to retreat.
*******
The small episode that happened in He Rong's courtyard Chu Yunsheng naturally didn't know, at this time she was in the flowers under the city wall, waiting for the next round of guards in the imperial study to change guards.
With Su Yun's help, she managed to sneak out of the Furong Palace, however, tonight's Weiwang Palace was extremely heavily guarded, and she could encounter patrolling Praetorian Guards almost every ten steps, and from time to time Praetorian Guards who were searching around.
It took Chu Yunsheng nearly half an hour to find his way to the corner outside the imperial study.
However, turning the corner of the wall, there were many Praetorian Guards standing in front of the jade steps further forward, and these people stood unmoving, not giving Chu Yunsheng any chance at all.
So, she could only wait.
And the only possible opportunity is to switch defenses here.
However, her luck was too good, and it happened that before she groped her way, she had already been relieved here, so she squatted in the grass for nearly half a pillar of incense, but there was still no movement.
Just when Chu Yunsheng was about to lose his breath and wanted to look around from elsewhere to see if he could find any breakthrough, he saw two palace maids with trays coming over from the corner.
When he saw their figures, Chu Yunsheng, who was already squatting and his legs were numb, almost cried with joy.
At a glance, she could see the temperament of the two palace maids from the demeanor and figure of the two palace maids, so when they walked to the flower bush where Chu Yunsheng was hiding, Chu Yunsheng swept out of the flower bush without hesitation, and raised his left and right hands to seal the acupoints of the two palace maids respectively the moment he dodged out.
After the two of them were frozen, she carefully took the tray in the hand of the palace maid on the left and put it aside, and then she knocked the palace maid unconscious and hid it in the flower bush where she had just hidden.
After turning her body again, she returned to the remaining palace maid.
"Girl, I didn't mean to embarrass you, I just wanted to ask you to do me a favor. As she spoke, she took out a vermilion pill from her sleeve, raised her hand and pinched the palace maid's chin, pinched it hard, threw it, and fed the pill to the palace maid.
"This is my unique poison, this poison is colorless and tasteless, the poisoner will not have any discomfort, but after three days, the skin will begin to fester, and finally die of rotten stomachs......"
Speaking of this, Chu Yunsheng approached the palace maid for a while, and then lowered his voice and said: "I didn't mean to murder the girl, I just wanted to ask you to do me a favor, let me use the identity of the companion who was with you just now, and enter the imperial study with you, it's so simple, if you help me and take me out of the imperial study safely and smoothly, I will give you the antidote immediately, otherwise, you just have to wait for three days later, and you will die violently." ”
Chu Yunsheng's understatement attitude made her words more and more credible.
The palace maid who listened to the point was as pale as paper.
Chu Yunsheng saw that the effect had been achieved, and said: "So, do you want to call those Praetorian Guards loudly and let them arrest me, or do me a favor, the choice is yours, but, don't blame me for not reminding you in advance, this poison is my unique poison, in this world, only I have the antidote, even the imperial doctor in the palace, there is no way to take this poison, not to mention, the imperial doctor is for the nobles in the palace to see the disease, how can it be possible to give you an ordinary palace maid, don't you say?"
Hearing this, the palace maid's face turned a little pale, and at this time, although she was pointed at the acupoint, her eyes were already full of fear of Chu Yunsheng.
Chu Yunsheng saw that the effect had been achieved, so he didn't delay, and raised his hand to unlock her acupoint, but at the same time, she was also afraid that this palace maid was a hard bone, so her wrist also shook when she unlocked her acupoint, and slipped the dagger into the palm of her hand, as long as she had the slightest sign of shouting, Chu Yunsheng could make her blood splash on the spot.
Just said that in this way, it was a lot more troublesome for Chu Yunsheng, and she didn't want to increase the killing.
Fortunately, after being unlocked, although the palace maid's body was trembling, she gradually calmed down, she took a deep breath, and then said to Chu Yunsheng: "Okay, as long as you promise me to give me an antidote, I will listen to you." ”
Hearing this, Chu Yunsheng nodded with satisfaction, then she turned around and picked up the tray she had just put aside, the tray contained a food box, even if the lid was closed, Chu Yunsheng could already faintly smell the aroma of the vegetables inside.
"Let's go. ”
After dressing up, Chu Yunsheng walked on the left side of the palace maid and raised his chin at her.
Seeing this, the palace maid didn't twist, and immediately lowered her head, took Chu Yunsheng around the corner, and walked to the jade steps in front of the imperial study.
When she walked up to those Praetorian Guards, she flashed her waist card, and together with Chu Yunsheng, she opened the food box in front of them and asked them to check it, and then let them go.
