Chapter Seventy-Four: The Cruel Truth

"Where do you want to go?"

Ji Yao only ran two steps, and was pulled back into his arms, Ji Yao just glanced up at his gaze and quickly turned his gaze, and as soon as his gaze turned, he saw Xie Yue, who was quietly watching him not far away. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Liu Xun obviously also noticed Xie Yue, and slowly let go, only to see Xie Yue walking up to the two of them with a nervous face, and said with a pair of eyes blinking: "Ah Xun, I have something to tell you, can you ......?"

"Tell me, I'll go first. Ji Yao hurriedly dropped a sentence and disappeared from Liu Xun as if he were fleeing.

"Aunt said......"

Before fleeing in a hurry, these three words pierced Ji Yao's ears like needles, and before Chang Ji Yang came out, she rushed out of the palace alone in a hurry.

Avoiding Zhu Rang who was napping in the carriage, Ji Yao went all the way to the west, and unconsciously came to the front of Hongfei Building, she stood in front of the building and hesitated for a long time, she didn't know where Zhu Shang settled, this Hongfei Building was the only connection between the two.

Ji Yao was stunned for a while in the deserted lobby before shaking his head slightly and preparing to turn around and leave, when a soft voice suddenly floated down above his head: "Come on." ”

Ji Yao raised her eyes and saw the Wenxiu face, smiled indifferently at him, raised her feet and entered Hongfei Tower, in the process of going upstairs, she was always cautious and vigilant, worried that there were still spies today.

"Come here. Zhu Shang opened the bamboo curtain, with a smile on his face, and waited for Ji Yao to enter the grid room before he was relieved, "Don't worry, there are no spies today." ”

"Why are you so sure?" Ji Yao asked casually with a smile when he saw his calm and relaxed appearance.

"Because they're dead. ”

Zhu Shang's suddenly solemn expression, with a voice without the slightest warmth, made Ji Yao's heart tremble suddenly, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't open his mouth.

Zhu Shang, like the princess, is a person who never has too many expressions in her eyes, she looked at the person in front of her with a murderous aura that she had never seen before, and for the first time she experienced the taste of creepy.

"Then why are you here today? Did you expect that I would come to you?" After a pause for a long time, Ji Yao asked such a question.

Zhu Shang nodded, reached out and took out a piece of scrap cloth from his cuff: "This is what you gave me yesterday, and I have already found out where this cloth came from, but you have to tell me first all the things that happened to you in the palace today." ”

Zhu Shang asked this question very strangely, obviously he told himself that what he wanted was in the palace, why did this come out of his mouth, as if he was just using errands to help him obtain the secrets of the palace?

Ji Yao's face was full of surprise that he couldn't hide fell into Zhu Shang's eyes, he relaxed slightly, sighed and said, "I'm afraid that if you learn the truth about this scrap cloth, you won't have the heart to say anything else." ”

"But I can't tell me everything, you might as well tell me what you want to ask. Ji Yao pretended not to care while reaching for the teacup.

The person in front of her was silent for a while, as if she was hesitating about something, Ji Yao lowered her head to drink tea, but she sighed in her heart, she didn't expect that the two people who were sincere to each other yesterday were actually on guard at this moment.

After a while, Zhu Shangcai said: "Just tell me what unusual things you have encountered, and what strange people you have met." ”

"I haven't met any strange people, at most the princess is a little strange......"

Ji Yao's words were only half spit out, and Zhu Shang interrupted her excitedly and asked, "What's strange, what did she say and do?"

Ji Yao looked at him stunned, although he was very disappointed in his heart, he told him the ins and outs of the agreement with the princess, and after that, he saw a deep frustration and nervousness on the faces of the people in front of him.

"Brother Zhu. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Shang suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Ji Yao with a tense face, a wry smile suddenly crossed the corner of Ji Yao's mouth, and he said coldly: "In vain, I treat you as a true friend, you deceive me like this? ”

"I didn't lie to you!" Zhu Shang looked at Ji Yao strangely, and smiled innocently, "What you want is in Biqing's hands, Biqing is my little junior sister, and she is the steward in the princess's courtyard." A few days ago, I asked her to help steal the records in the princess's courtyard, but there is no news so far, and I am worried that she will ask you to help find out the news. ”

Ji Yao's face burned, she felt ashamed of blaming Zhu Shang for her mistake, and was about to say something to apologize, but after thinking about it, she questioned again: "What is that record, and what does it have to do with my family affairs?"

"Naturally, there is a relationship, the palace will record the private shops, dead soldiers and strategists every year in the actual record, but this thing is too important, King Ding naturally does not dare to put it indiscriminately, so he has always put it with the princess. Zhu Shang said and took a sip of tea, and glanced at Ji Yao, "Don't think that the princess is weak, so you despise her, she is a rare fairy among Jinling women, and King Ding's current achievements are indispensable for her to help behind her back." ”

Ji Yao agreed with Zhu Shang's statement from the bottom of his heart, and just talked with the princess in the palace, and had been conquered by her unique courage, Ji Yao just didn't dare to imagine that a woman could have such great ability.

"Well, she's a little inferior to you before. ”

Zhu Shang coldly spit out this sentence, Ji Yao's whole body was shocked, and he looked up at him incredulously, Zhu Shang put down the teacup and explained: "I'm not saying how bad you are now, it's just that compared with before, you are indeed less decisive and decision-making, and even often confused." ”

Ji Yao was surprised that she was even more powerful than the princess in the past, but she didn't think that she was more annoyed than the princess than Zhu Shangcheng, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "In your eyes, I used to be ......."

"Okay, the matter of the palace is almost over, let's talk about this scrap now. Zhu Shang tapped his fingers on the scraps on the table, and said, "But let's say it, you can't be impulsive, don't dare to say anything in the future, and listen to my opinion, but you must also take my suggestions as the standard, and you can't deviate too much, otherwise you will inevitably fail." ”

Ji Yao's eyes fell on the rags completely, and she couldn't wait to nod her head, she really wanted to know who was going to kill her.

"The material of this cloth is simple but special, it is a rare iron sand cotton, as far as I know, the clothes made of this iron sand cotton are only worn by the disciples of the Cold Sword Sect in the whole world. Moreover, the higher the rank of the disciple, the darker the color used, and this color was probably used by the head of the Cold Sword Sect, the elders, and the Dharma protectors. ”

Zhu Shang said very carefully, but Ji Yao was impatient, and said anxiously: "Brother Zhu, why don't you tell me that person's name directly." ”

"Don't worry, listen to me, the head of the Cold Sword Sect is highly respected and has outstanding martial arts, and it is impossible for you to get this scrap cloth. Besides, the three elders of the Cold Sword Sect are all old men, and it is absolutely impossible for them to go down the mountain if they stay on the mountain all the year round, so only the left and right protectors can be suspected. When Zhu Shang said this, he looked at Ji Yao with meaningful eyes, and said in a deep tone, "The left protector Leng Chan died many years ago under the hands of the master, and the right protector ......."

Ji Yao's heart tightened, his body stiffened, and he only listened to him say word by word: "And the right protector Zhu Sanjian has become the secret guard of Liu Xun of King Kang's Mansion." ”
