Chapter 159: Hidden 2
The five people who went up the tree together, the first person on top, walked to the branch next to him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The man behind info stepped forward and walked to the side, and when the first one disappeared into the thick branches, the last of the five people happened to come up.
The first man walked into the luxuriant foliage, and just as he stood still, he looked up and saw a pair of eyes as black as a pool of water within a stone's throw away, and his head hanging upside down on the branches above, looking at him quietly. The man's pupils dilated instantly, his mouth opened wide, his neck suddenly became hot, and the whole person softened. The cry disappeared into his throat.
In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, when he started Cai Zhuoyijia, he hated it, and he wiped his neck so deep that half of his head hung down and only one backbone was still connected to his head and body. Looking at the limp body below, Zhuo Yijia stretched out his hand and pulled out the man's hair, pulling the entire body that was about to fall. The blood gushing out of his neck spilled Zhuo Yijia's face.
Zhuo Yijia was still hanging upside down on the treetops, pulling the crumbling body below, and the painting had flashed to it like a ghost.
"It's all done. Zhihua stood on the trunk of the tree and held the shaking body, and then gently bent down and placed his body on the trunk. After making sure that he couldn't fall, he looked up at Zhuo Yijia, who had already turned back and sat down, wiping the blood on his face: "This smell of blood will disperse later, and it may arouse the suspicion of a few trees next to it." As he spoke, he glanced at the corpse leaning between the trees. In order to not see blood, she directly twisted her neck off.
Zhuo Yijia followed and looked at the corpse lying on the trunk of the tree, and the blood was still gushing out of the mouth of the bowl on his neck. You can't use corpse water on it, and the trunk will be eaten by corpse water.
Zhuo Yijia stroked the branches, walked to the main trunk, and glanced at the empty surroundings, as well as the laurel trees that looked nothing unusual from the outside.
"Where's the Shadow Guard?" Zhuo Yijia said very softly. As soon as the voice fell, a voice crept out of the branch like the wind.
"Back to the master, the shadow guard is here. ”
Bei Liang gave her thirty carefully selected shadow guards to guard closely. I have never seen or felt their breath on weekdays. But Zhuo Yijia knew that they were always by her side, and even one of her own breaths could be captured by them.
"On each tree, there are two shadow guards. Zhuo Yijia said and pointed to the laurel tree next to him: "Hidden in the branches and leaves, solve the five archers on the tree, you can't be detected, and you can't see blood." "The blood of fifty people is enough to make the people around you who have been practicing martial arts all year round smell danger.
"Also," Zhuo Yijia added, "The remaining ten, listen to my orders and sneak into the Xia family with me." ”
"Yes. As soon as the words fell, the figure disappeared among the leaves.
The night slowly darkened, and rows of lanterns had been lit on the eaves of the Xia family. The wick of the candle flame in the hall was hidden in the relaxed conversation of the guests because of the 'crackling' sound of burning.
Behind each guest stood a serving maid. The little guys shuttling in the hall are running errands diligently. None of the nobles in the right wing room and Xia Hanpei are very close, and they are naturally much quieter than in the hall, except for occasional conversations. There are obviously fewer maids standing in the right wing room than in the hall, and there are no small maids.
Xia Chengwen sat in the center of the hall, looking at the guests talking below, looking at them one by one, and every time he looked at them, he felt that this person had been alienated from his own festival. After reading it, I looked at the sky again. After dusk, the sky gets dark quickly, and the lanterns are already getting brighter and brighter in the faint night.
"Come on, come on, today is the birthday of the little girl sixteen, first of all, thank you to all the guests who came to appreciate the face, I will do it first. Saying that, Xia Chengwen raised the cup, filled the maid next to him, and raised his head.
"Come on, it's full!" Xia Chengwen put the cup on the table next to him and said boldly to the people below.
Hearing this, everyone below echoed it, raised their glasses with a smile, and everyone followed a Xia family maid who served to the side, and poured it full when they picked it up, Zhao Fengyao sat by the door, followed everyone to pick up the wine glass, and unintentionally glanced at the tiger's mouth of the maid who poured wine for herself, and her eyes were slightly deep.
When they said this, they stood up and drank it all after them. Zhao Fengyao also stood up, glanced around, lifted the cup, held it with everyone, put it to his mouth, and paused again. Then sit down and set the cup aside.
Seeing this, the maid behind her took two steps forward, bowed next to Zhao Fengyao, and asked respectfully, "Why doesn't the prince drink?"
Zhao Fengyao turned his head and glanced at the maid coldly, "What's the matter, does this son have the qualifications to ask if you drink or not?"
The maid was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect this King Huairong to ask like this. frowned, "The prince is too worried, the slave is just afraid that the prince will not like these drinks." If you don't like it, the slave will go and change the wine for you. ”
"Change the wine?" Zhao Fengyao touched the teacup in his hand, turned his head to look at the maid who spoke, and unconsciously showed anger between his eyebrows: "When can there be a maid in charge of the affairs of the Xia family?"
The maid looked at Zhao Fengyao, her cold eyes made her heart tremble, and she turned her head to look at the little guy standing next to her, who shook her head. The maid turned back to Zhao Fengyao and smiled far-fetchedly: "It's the slave who trespassed." ”
Zhao Fengyao's gaze swept coldly over the maid and the little maid, and finally looked at the good fish standing behind him. The only little guy he brought.
Looking at the staggered banquet, Zhao Fengyao lowered his eyes and felt the murderous aura outside the courtyard. He came today because Emperor Ming Xian personally told him that he would attend the banquet on the birthday of Miss Xia instead of him.
Although he didn't know why Emperor Ming Xian went to the banquet for the birthday of the waiter, he didn't know why he would let him replace him, not Zhao Guyi. Even he could think of danger, and according to the officials and noblewomen who were present this time, he thought of many things. But you just can't say no. The emperor's order cannot be violated. His father was not a rebel, and neither could he be a rebel.
Zhao Fengyao stared at the wine glasses on the table, the wine in which reflected the fiery red lanterns, and the landscape pictures hanging on the walls. The moon-like beauty in the water looms in the cup. Zhao Fengyao pinched the wine glass and closed his eyes slightly, Huairong Wangfu was decisive in killing, resisting the barbarians outside, and being a minister in the interior, from his father to him, for the people and the common people, why can't they be let go?
Since the death of the first emperor, King Huairong has lived tremblingly, and there is only a sense of security, all from when he killed the enemy on the battlefield. Now that I think about it, fortunately, fortunately, I didn't confess those things to Emperor Ming Xian back then. Otherwise, if you take the talisman of the Huairong Palace, judging from the current situation, Emperor Ming Xian must have destroyed their whole family without any scruples.
Zhao Fengyao opened his eyes and looked around, his eyes swept over the maids. He came today with only one good fish. The number of people dormant outside the house, he was able to get out, but, what about these adults in front of him? Most of these people are virtuous ministers. He just couldn't ignore it.
"Lord Shizi, do you want to go out for a walk?" said Liangyu in Zhao Fengyao's ear and suppressed his voice. After many years of following, Liangyu looked at his master, and probably knew what he was thinking.
Liangyu grew up with Zhao Fengyao since he was a child, and followed him to practice martial arts and swordsmanship, and his skills were naturally not bad. But Zhao Fengyao still shook his head. He had felt the unique pace of archers and the sound of climbing trees behind the Xia family's compound fifty meters away, about forty or fifty, he didn't have any worries about the archers alone, but now what made him uneasy was that the forty or fifty archers disappeared silently. Almost instantaneously, it all disappeared, replaced by a feeling of emptiness.
At this time, a figure of about thirty or forty years old walked towards Xia Chengwen, arched his hand at Xia Chengwen, and said politely: "Brother Xia, it's not early, and there are still some things in my family, so I will leave first." ”
As soon as the words fell, one or two people who were close to him began to echo. They didn't have a good relationship with Xia Chengwen in the first place, and they didn't have anything to stay in.
Xia Chengwen didn't expect someone to leave the table so early, put down the cup in his hand, looked at the person who came and said with a smile: "Brother Song is going back to the house so early?
"It's too late, and there is still a mother at home who is worried and doesn't dare to return late. Lord Song waved his hand, "The coming day will be long, you and I will have more spare time in the future." ”
"In this case, Brother Song will do a little bit, and you should not follow along to make trouble, all wait. I still have a big jar of aged daughters who haven't been on it. Wait, I'll go out and get it. Saying that, Xia Chengwen patted Lord Song on the shoulder and walked out of the courtyard with a smile.
Seeing this, Lord Song didn't say much, looked at Xia Chengwen, who walked straight out, sighed, and returned to his seat.
"Keep up with him. Zhao Fengyao used his internal force to transmit the inaudible words to the ears of Liangyu. Liangyu nodded, and walked to the side room under the pretext of going to the toilet, and disappeared out of the window without paying attention.
Xia Chengwen walked out of the courtyard, and after quickly bypassing the courtyard, he looked at the big laurel tree standing outside the courtyard wall in the distance, "Are you ready?"
"Back to the words of the adults. The general received the code, and the archers were all squatted. Butler Xia, who followed Xia Chengwen, replied.
Xia Chengwen nodded, turned his head to look at Steward Xia: "Go and take Pei'er out, and then inform them to do it." ”
"Yes. Steward Xia responded, turned around and walked towards the pick-up compound.
brought out Xia Hanpei, the nobles inside were still eating unconsciously, only Lin Yuqi stood up with a frown and followed Xia Hanpei out.
"Miss Lin, can't you go out for the time being?" The person guarding the gate of the side courtyard stopped Lin Yuqi.
"Ah, why?" Lin Yuqi asked in surprise as she turned her head to look at the little servant-like person.
The sound here attracted Xia Hanpei and his party, who had just walked a short distance, and several people turned their heads to look at Lin Yuqi who was pulling with the gatekeeper behind them. The gatekeeper also noticed that the person behind him stopped, turned his head to look, and saw Steward Xia, who was standing next to Xia Hanpei, shook his head, and then turned around and left directly.
Anyway, they are all dying people, so there is no need to toss.
The man also seemed to understand Steward Xia's voice, and turned his head to look at Lin Yuqi, his voice with unquestionable firmness: "Miss Lin, go back, no one can step out of this courtyard today." ”
"Ah, why?" Lin Yuqi stared at the man, and her voice was incredulous: "Is the Xia family holding a banquet or a prisoner, just kidding." Lin Yuqi only felt that Xia Hanpei's birthday today was greasy, but she never thought that this cat was so greasy that it would kill her as a third-grade official's daughter.
At this time, I felt a sense of captivity, and natural fire came from one place.
The man didn't answer, looking at Lin Yuqi's firm face, her body blocking the road and her outstretched hands motionless, all showing the intention of intercepting her.
Lin Yuqi looked at the man, then at Xia Hanpei, who had already walked away, and turned around hatefully.
Entering the right wing, Lin Yuqi looked at the daughters who were still eating and smiling as usual, as well as the maids of the Xia family who were standing and serving next to them. Why didn't she notice just now that these maids were serving so many more guests than usual? Lin Yuqi suddenly panicked.
Between the right wing room and the hall, there are only two large foldable screens, and there are gaps at both ends of the screens that allow people to enter and exit.
