Chapter 173: The Carriage Crisis
Yi Jingxiao looked at her suspiciously, with a slight hesitation between his eyebrows, and finally said slowly: "You say, I'll listen." ”
"Chen Bingkun's old fox doesn't seem to be involved in party fighting, but he is biased towards the king of the industry. I listened to him and his son talk about what they wanted to do to the king, but I didn't know what they were helping. Chen Bingkun can sit firmly in this position, he is trusted by the emperor and respected by hundreds of officials, and it is absolutely impossible to be bought by small profits, so I was a little puzzled when I heard the benefits that the king of karma wanted to give, and I didn't understand what benefits the king promised him. ”
Chan Jin looked at Yi Jingxiao, and Yi Jingxiao looked at the booklet in his hand, paused and took it to her, and said, "It's good to take a look, this list was copied by Chan Jin, it's not easy." ”
Gu Xiangyi smiled gratefully at Chan Jin, but Chan Jin turned his head very unnaturally.
The names on it are dense, from the big ones to the local officials, almost across the entire imperial court, and there are countless names in it that have not been heard, and even Gu Xiangyi saw the name of Jiang Yishan on it.
Feeling that her good uncle has already taken refuge in Chen Bingkun, and taking refuge in Chen Bingkun is equivalent to taking refuge in the king of industry, thinking of this, it is not surprising why he threw his son out of the door and ignored it.
He is trying to sell his loyalty in front of the king, thinking that if he throws away his own son, the king will definitely trust him.
And why Jiang Bingchi wanted to protect Meng Fanlin, Gu Xiangyi also understood a little.
Although Meng Fanlin is the emperor's person, he has a good relationship with Chen Bingkun, after all, both of them are lustful ghosts, but one color is in the light and the other is in the dark.
It is likely that Meng Fanlin also took refuge in King Ye, thinking that King Ye would be able to rise to the next level if he sat on the throne in the future. But with Meng Shaoyuan being killed, he was shocked and scared in his heart, worried that someone had taken revenge on his head, even if he pretended to be not afraid of the sky and the earth on the surface, he was also panicked in his heart.
So Jiang Bingchi was ordered to come to Meng's house to protect Meng Fanlin and fight with Gu Xiangyi, if it wasn't for Yi Jingxiao's timely appearance, I'm afraid Gu Xiangyi would have died.
There was a storm in her heart for a while, but before she could finish reading the list, Yi Jingxiao reached out and took back the booklet, kicked it in Lihuai and said, "Just take a look." We found out that King Ye has been sending people to the outside world to look for medicinal materials in the past two years, and there are several rooms in the dark in the palace of King Ye, and the people inside are making a kind of medicine bowl, and after inquiring carefully, they know that it is the elixir of life. ”
These four words often appear in the stories of the picture book, but now that they are said by Yi Jingxiao himself, Gu Xiangyi has a face full of disbelief.
"Where in this world is there a way to live forever? It is better to cultivate into a goblin. ”
Yi Jingxiao said: "At the same time, I also found out that Chen Bingkun's people began to study the recipe for immortality many years ago, so there is probably a connection between this. ”
Gu Xiangyi's eyes lit up: "Do you think that Chen Bingkun's old thing was deceived by the king of industry? The king of industry used the method of immortality to favor Chen Bing to help him become the emperor?"
"Chen Bingkun is not a stupid person, and he will not easily believe that what he has not succeeded for many years has been easily completed by the king of karma, so it is likely that the king of karma has created something that can strengthen the body and make Chen Bingkun taste the sweetness, so Chen Bingkun plans to help him. ”
"These two beasts are really a raccoon dog. Gu Xiangyi sneered.
Yi Jingxiao didn't know what grudge Gu Xiangyi still had with Chen Bingkun, so he asked: "I know that you are related to the Ning family, and I also know that you are related to Jiang Yan, you hate King Ye, but I don't know that you are also related to Chen Bingkun." As a deep girl who has never been out of the house a few times in the Zhongyi Mansion, how did you make a feud with these people?"
He had been skeptical about this question for too long.
Gu Xiangyi didn't know how to answer, she just raised her head to look at him, her mouth opened slightly as if she wanted to say something, but she finally closed her mouth.
Her slightly curled eyelashes remained motionless, like a still-moving winged butterfly, with a smile on her beautiful face.
Knowing that he couldn't ask anything, Yi Jingxiao didn't ask anymore.
Suddenly, the subordinate who was knocked unconscious by Gu Xiangyi in the courtyard was found, which suddenly made Chen Bingkun feel shocked, thinking that someone had come in the courtyard, and hurried to the place where the list was hidden.
Chen Bingkun was furious, and immediately ordered the family to search all over the garden, and even chased them out, Zen Jin's ears were very strong, and when he heard the noise in the courtyard, he immediately whipped the horse with a short whip, and the carriage ran slowly.
But the movement was still a step slower, and the two subordinates with torches behind them saw the back of the departing carriage and shouted loudly, which immediately attracted six masters on horseback.
The carriage ran in front, and six horses chased behind.
In this case, Gu Xiangyi will not be able to go back to Zhongyibo's Mansion, because once the carriage stops near Zhongyibo's Mansion, Gu Xiangyi will be easily discovered, and it will not be good to affect the Gu family at that time. And the carriage must not return to the Jingde Mansion, so after a brief thought, Yi Jingxiao said quietly: "Run to the lake by the city." ”
Zen was fated, pulled the reins, and the horse suddenly neighed, turned west, and went straight to the lake.
Gu Xiangyi lifted the curtain and glanced back, only to see that the six horses were getting closer and closer, and sure enough, the horses were running faster than the horses.
One of the big red horses, the horse's hair was supple and flickered by the moonlight like a cold knife, and the man riding him held a long sword and cut off the reins of the horse, and suddenly the left side of the horse was loosened, and it was directly out of Zen Jin's hand, and ran forward as if returning to freedom, if it wasn't for the halter, I was afraid that the carriage would immediately roll over to the ground.
The speed was greatly reduced, not shaking wildly, the car fell east for a while, and turned west for a while, Gu Xiangyi, who hit it, was dizzy, and fell into a person's arms the moment he closed his eyes.
Yi Jingxiao subconsciously hugged her slender waist, turned over and protected her on his body, his back fell the seat, and he gasped in pain. And Gu Xiangyi opened his eyes with a red face, and put his hand on Yi Jingxiao's hand holding his waist, wanting him to let go.
But the carriage bumped again, and the distance between the two was a little more ambiguous, Gu Xiangyi hugged the arm in front of him, and he didn't have time to look at the person behind him who was a meat cushion for himself, and only thought about the most important thing about life.
Every time I saw her, she was calm, as if nothing could make her afraid and panicked, but this time Yi Jingxiao saw her fragile side firmly. That kind of expression seemed to be on the verge of death, he closed his eyes tightly and didn't dare to open them, his hands became more and more forceful, almost tearing his arms, his breathing was thick and rapid, and even his feet hooked him hard, his whole body was tense but trembling.
