Chapter Twenty-Four: The Hall of Killers
After sending Fengzhao and Yaoling back to the Ningjun Palace, Yueming returned to his prince's mansion, and as soon as he entered the mansion, the head of the mansion sent a letter, the letter was sent by someone from the imperial capital, Yueming fell into contemplation after reading the letter, and after a long time, he instructed the housekeeper to prepare the car and went to the Ningjun Mansion of Fengzhao.
Entering the county king's mansion, Yueming went straight to Fengzhao's residence, at this time Fengzhao was washing, Yaoling went back to her small courtyard to rest, and saw Yueming who went and returned, Fengzhao was a little puzzled: "Why did you come back again?" Yueming didn't speak, took out the letter from his sleeve with a deep face, handed it to Fengzhao, Fengzhao's cold eyes swept Yueming's face and took the letter, and his slender fingers slowly took out the letter inside, and looked at it. With the content, his face became more and more excited, the hand holding the letter paper trembled slightly, and a pair of sword eyebrows were screwed together with all his might, and there was a bright and extinguished light in his eyes. The full text of the letter sent by the secret agent arranged by Yueming in the imperial capital is as follows: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, his subordinates and others have investigated the whereabouts of the princess and princess of the Emperor and the Emperor of the Imperial Palace, only the whereabouts of the personal maid of the princess Xuan, Emperor Jianning Yuan married He Changli, the sister of He Changli, the new champion of the Dalong Dynasty, as the imperial concubine one month after ascending the throne, and the maid Yu Pei beside him was named the Ning nobleman half a month later. The subordinates and others found out that Princess Xuan's personal maid was also named Yu Pei, and the subordinates had secretly investigated He Chang's ancestral home and had no sisters. Ning Guiren died of premature birth when he gave birth in the year he was entitled, and the palace where He Changli lived was called Qingli Palace. Looking at the letter with a few words, Feng Zhao's heart trembled: Jade pendant! Is the jade pendant the lively and clever jade pendant? Is it the jade pendant that plays with him? Is this Ning Guiren the jade pendant beside his mother? He Changli, He Changli, if not He Changli's sister, then who is she? It can make Feng Qing dare to risk the disapproval of the world to marry the emperor's grandfather a month after his death, and the mourning period has not even passed. He hung down weakly the hand holding the letter, and the other hand held the edge of the table for a long time without speaking, if there is no if, no, his heart is very disturbed, a letter is only a few words but contains too much information. At this time, the sun has turned west, through the doors and windows of the pillar of light light and dark sprinkled on Fengzhao's body, Yueming stood quietly behind him, after a long time softly said: "My spy has never seen my aunt's appearance, you can send someone to the Imperial Palace to investigate again" A sentence reminded the dreamer, Fengzhao suddenly turned his head to look at Yueming, the two looked at each other for a long time and nodded silently, Yueming turned around and went out of the door of the small courtyard. Feng Zhao put away his troubled heart, and wrote a letter to Limeng, asking him to go to the palace of the Great Dragon Dynasty to explore the appearance of the concubines living in the Qingli Palace. Calling the pigeon, his Ruyu hand trembled slightly and tied the letter in the cowhide ring of the pigeon's leg, and watched the white pigeon flying north in the sunset, and his heart could not be calm for a long time.
After more than a month, there is still no letter from Limeng, and the wind is a little anxious, presumably the palace is not easy to survey. On this day, someone from the palace Xuan Fengzhao entered the palace to discuss matters, and entered the Hezheng Palace, Fengzhao saw several ministers standing in the palace, and Yueming was also among them, and he was busy making a great gift to Chang Ruojin. Looking at the ministers and bureaucrats in one place, the modest and introverted Chang Ruojin said lightly: "Today's gathering of all the people is for the prince's wedding, and seeing that the summer solstice is coming, the Ji Kingdom has also sent envoys to urge." All the ministers will weigh it up and see who is appropriate. The ministers below looked at each other, and finally Master Wen, who was still in charge of etiquette, said: "According to the rules of etiquette, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cannot go to greet him in person, but there must be a member of the royal family to represent my royal family of Yanlong." There is also a person who understands the etiquette of the ancestral system, so as not to lose my face as a dragon. The ministers next to him nodded when they heard this, Fengzhao was a little anxious, and announced that he entered the palace for this matter, and it seemed that this family member was none other than himself, and they were all pretending to discuss here, looking at the moon next to him, I saw that he still had that indifferent expression, as if the things discussed by the people in the room had nothing to do with him. Feng Zhao sighed helplessly in his heart. Sure enough, I heard Chang Ruojin say: "The representative of the royal family can go by King Ningjun, as for the person who understands the etiquette of the ancestral system, it is not Lord Wen, so I will order the two of you to lead the team to welcome relatives and set off to Jiguo tomorrow, all the way Lord Wen can listen to the arrangement of King Ningjun, and in terms of etiquette, Ning'er You have to listen to Lord Wen's arrangement." The two nodded yes. Seeing that there was no objection, Chang Ruojin motioned for everyone to retreat.
Out of the palace gate, Yueming told his coachman to go back, and then got on the carriage of Fengzhao, Fengzhao squinted at Yueming and knew that this kid must have something to say, sure enough, Yueming said to Yan Di: "Go to the northern suburbs," the carriage went to the north, there is an extremely empty field in the northern suburbs, it is May day at this time, when the grass is green and the wild flowers are fragrant, standing in the field Yueming summoned Yan Di's bright and deep eyes to look at Yan Di for a long time and said: "Do you like the sixth princess?" I never thought about the six princesses. Yueming changed her indifference and coldness in the past, and said softly and deeply: "If I hand over the sixth princess to you, you will have the courage to marry her, and you will be willing to protect her for the rest of your life." Yan Di's body was slightly stunned, raised his head and looked directly at Yueming's bottomless eyes, and then looked at Fengzhao next to him, Fengzhao's face at this moment was not much shocked, his sword eyebrows were slanted, and his cold and hard eyes on weekdays had become rare and gentle at this time, and he nodded to Yan Di silently, Yan Di saw Fengzhao and nodded again, and looked at Yueming fearlessly, and said softly but very firmly: "I will protect the princess for the rest of her life and never live up to her." Yueming smiled, a faint smile like the spring wind. He turned to Fengzhao and whispered, "Your dead soldiers are so courageous. Feng Zhao gave him a cold look and said, "What plan" Yueming handed a bag to Feng Zhao and said that you just do it according to it. Feng Zhao looked at the bag in his hand and then looked at Yueming and said, "I gave you back a favor." ”
I heard that Fengzhao was going to Jiguo to welcome her relatives, the lively Yaoling couldn't sit still, and she had to take Fengzhao with her, originally Fengzhao was going to take Yaoling, since the last assassination, he was staring at Yaoling all the time, afraid that she would go out alone again, everyone knows the rules of the killer hall, and they don't stop until they reach their goal, and they will not let go of Yaoling last time, and they will not let go of Yaoling anyway. Looking at Yao Ling, who was going in and out behind him, he was secretly proud in his heart, and only with Yao Ling, his heart was relaxed, he pinched the tip of Yao Ling's nose and said, "What are you doing with the front and back, don't go back and pack your things." Hearing this, Yao Ling flew back to her courtyard like a bird.
On the second day, Fengzhao came to the gate of the palace with Yaoling, the procession to welcome the relatives was ready, got off his carriage and transferred to the royal carriage to welcome the relatives, but the person who drove the carriage was the coachman of Yueming, he did not take Yan Di to go, Yaoling was dressed by him as a personal maid and sat in the same carriage with him. Yueming, dressed in white, stood outside the palace gate to see off the convoy of relatives. Seeing that the corner of Yaoling's mouth beside Fengzhao was slightly oblique, he didn't say anything. At dawn, the procession of welcoming relatives meandered all the way to the east, and Yao Ling, who was sitting in the car, looked through the curtains at the moonlight standing at the gate of the palace
couldn't help sighing: "The Moon Prince is really pitiful, he wants to marry two queens." The wind on the side looked at Yaoling, who pretended to be a young man, and then teased Yaoling: "How good the two queens are, you can watch them fight if you have nothing to do." Yao Ling rolled her eyes, "Marry two wives for you, see if you are still in the mood to watch them fight." Hearing this, Feng Zhao's smiling eyes suddenly became deep and dark, Yao Ling saw that Feng Zhao's face changed, and knew that she was really saying the wrong thing, so she hurriedly sat down next to Feng Zhao and gently tugged Feng Zhao's sleeve and said in a low voice: "Xiao Feng, I made a mistake, I won't say such things in the future." Feng Zhao looked at Yaoling's eyes like a deep valley, and after a long time, he gently pinched Yaoling's chin and brought his face close to hers, looked at her beautiful and clear eyes, and said in a low voice, "I don't allow you to say such things." You remember, it's enough for me to marry only one person. I don't know why, Yaoling's heart fluttered, and her face turned red. She looked at the beautiful face in front of her in a daze, and wanted to flee to the side, but her chin was pinched by his hand and ran away. After a moment, Fengzhao let go of the hand holding Yaoling's chin and sat aside to close his eyes and pretend to sleep, Yaoling couldn't help rubbing his chest and let out a sigh, "I didn't eat you again, how can I scare you like this." Hearing this, Yaoling somehow had a mist in the corner of her eyes, she shook her face and sat on the soft chair opposite, turned her back and ignored Fengzhao. Looking at Yao Ling with his back to him, Feng Zhao's heart hurt slightly, he knew that he had hurt her just now, and he scared her, but he couldn't forgive what she said, his heart was all in her, but she didn't know it at all. He really wanted to tell her that he would only marry her in this life, but he didn't want to say it, he wanted to wait for her heart to understand his heart.
At this moment, there is a deep mansion compound in a nameless cliff in the country of thistle, and the overlapping eaves in the distance show the wealth and power of the master. In a large hall in the middle of the compound, a tall and burly man in a black and red brocade robe with wide sleeves stood with his back to the door of the main hall, and in front of him was a large table, and behind him stood three people in a separate row, all dressed in black clothes and black cloaks and scarves. The large hall is dark and cold, and the smoke wafts out from the incense burner next to it, adding to the depth and mystery of the hall. One of the three lowered his head and said, "Hall Master, my subordinates have found out that all the ten killers are dead. Hearing this, the burly man who was called the hall master turned around slightly and asked coldly, "Have you found out?" "The subordinates found out clearly, that day they fought with that witch in the world, and finally were strangled by the witch in the southern suburbs of Yanlong. The other two men in black couldn't help but gasp, ten first-class killers, the killers of the Killer Hall were all trained from seven or eight-year-old children, hard-hearted and ruthless, no matter how bad they were, they should be able to survive one or two people, how could they be all strangled. After a long silence, the person known as the hall master said slowly: "It is worthy of being Mrs. Jinling's apprentice, haha. He suddenly smiled and said, "Where is the witch now?" "When the subordinates investigated, she was still in Yanlong's Ningjun Palace. The man in black who stood in the middle of the hand replied. "Ningjun Palace, have you explored the relationship between that witch and Ningjun Palace?" Sen Ran's voice sounded again. The man in black standing in the middle bent down and said, "My subordinates are incompetent and can't probe the Ningjun Palace. "Oh, why?" asked the hall master in a muffled voice of confusion. "The Ningjun Wangfu is unfathomable, and the subordinates have tried to go in, but they have not been discovered a hundred meters away from the mansion, although the other party has not made any moves, but the subordinates have been difficult to enter. The black-clad man explained again. Silent for a long time, the hall master waved his hand and motioned for a personal message. At this time, the man in black standing on the left began to speak, "Tell the hall master, I recently found that someone is following my killer of the Killer Hall. And those people are even more powerful, and there have been a few direct encounters with us, but they are not opponents. And not only in one place, Jiang Lixi, Wu Dalong Dynasty, as long as there are people such as us, those people will definitely be dispatched. Hearing this, the Killer Hall Master slowly paced back and forth in the main hall, and only then did he see that he was wearing a secluded iron mask on his face, and his exposed eyes flashed with a cruel and cunning and strange light. He motioned for the next person to continue. The black-clothed killer standing on the right immediately clenched his fists and said, "Tell the hall master, those corrupt officials who were robbed by that witch have increased the killing silver to 10 million taels. The hall master stopped moving his feet. When he looked up at the killer, he had a greedy glow like a hungry wolf in his eyes. "Ten million taels, that's good. He smiled again. After a moment, he ordered, "Stop the activities of the other places, and send all the people back to hunt down the witch." Try to avoid the Ningjun Palace. "Yes," the three men replied in unison.
