Chapter 71: Abduction (1)
The middle-aged man got up and was about to leave, and just walked to the door, Helian Tao behind him suddenly said, "Uncle Hong!"
The middle-aged man turned around, looked at Helian Tao's age-inappropriate vicissitudes of worry on his face, and said: "I know the worries in the heart of the prince, but the Helian family, since then, there has been no way out, the old general is already half a life of horses, even if he unloads his glory, he still can't erase his great achievements." All ministers can support the lord's virtue, but the commander cannot speak outright. There are some things that you and I know well, and the old general and the king also know it, but no one will announce it. It is rare to be able to maintain the existing peace, and the Helian clan can't go back, not to mention that the rivers and lakes are long gone!"
Helian Tao was stunned for a long time, stood up, reached out and smoothed out the folded placket, and regained his composure in a moment. The middle-aged man watched with admiration Helian Tao from the unrelieved heaviness to the calm acceptance, and then to the calmness, this kind of bearing is beyond the reach of ordinary people, but he can only stay in Shangjing to be an unspeakable gentleman, to be a proton who must abandon his future.
In the palace, Shen Jiayi was wrapped in a silver fox with a golden moire pattern, only revealing a large pink peony embroidered on the corner of her skirt, blooming in the snow, she had been in the palace for more than half a year, she had more or less heard some rumors, she knew that her appearance was somewhat similar to Empress Shen, but so what? She would not lose to a dead man! Slowly walked out of the Jinhuan Palace, all the way to the imperial study, the face was not shocked, but the eyes were full of joy, I heard that Emperor Xuwen called her grandfather to come to the audience, she gently stroked her abdomen, just in time to say the news when her grandfather was there.
In the imperial study, Shen Shangshu was mentioned to the imperial front before Shen Shangshu could interrogate the two beasts in detail. The middle-aged man was right, Yan Yushi's excerpt didn't even wait for the dark, and he couldn't wait to fly into the front of Emperor Xuwen's imperial case. Yan Yushi simply used all the contempt accumulated all his life on this excerpt, and directly reprimanded Shen Shangshu's son and grandson for the absurd things they had done, and the dog was bloody!
Shen Shangshu knelt on the ground tremblingly, and old tears flowed: "Your Majesty, it is the old minister who is not strict in discipline, please punish the monarch!"
"Punishment?" Emperor Xuwen was tall, with a golden dragon coiled on the black dragon robe, and when he was young, he was also a handsome man with a dazzling appearance, but as an emperor, he couldn't help but have a strong majesty and intimidating momentum on his body, which made people involuntarily afraid, he sat there, with the fold in front of him, his eyes narrowed dangerously, and his fluttering words made Shen Shangshu sweat coldly: "You tell me, how can I punish you in order to relieve the hatred in my heart?"
Shen Shangshu had scolded those two things that didn't know life and death 10,000 times in his heart, if Shen Wenhe and Shen Hao stood in front of him, he would have to stab him twice, but at this time he only had a handful of snot and a tear and said: "Your Excellency, the old minister really doesn't know what happened, there must be a hidden secret in this matter, can you ask the old minister to give the old minister some time, the old minister will definitely find out......
"What is the water?" Emperor Xuwen sneered, picked up the blue-glazed flower and bird porcelain cup in his hand and smashed it towards Shen Hao, "Is there anything to be found out about this matter? Could it be that half of the people in Beijing are blind!
Shen Shangshu's forehead was smashed, and blood immediately appeared, but he ignored the pain, his head hung deeply on the ground, and tears fell, "The old minister has the emperor's grace ......"
There was an announcement outside the door, Shen Jiayi slowly stepped into the imperial study, and saw her grandfather kneeling on the hall with his head down, and Emperor Xuwen holding a fold with his hands behind his back, standing aside, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and said with a small meaning on his face: "Your Excellency, this is ......"
Before he finished speaking, Emperor Xuwen threw the fold he was carrying in his hand on Shen Jiayi's face! "Look at the good things your Shen family has done, it's really a big joke! The Shen Mansion has no face and no skin to such an extent? Even I will be embarrassed with you!"
Since Shen Jiayi entered the palace, not to mention the harem, she was also extremely pitiful to Emperor Wen, when did she suffer such grievances, the joy in her heart had long disappeared, and she was stunned on the spot. I only heard Emperor Xuwen say coldly: "Shen Hao, I give you three days, if you can't solve this matter, I think, you won't appear in front of me again in the future!"
Shen Shangshu gave Shen Jiayi, who was standing aside, a look, and said, "Minister, obey the order!"
It was not early, Li Shuci watched Xiang Jiu drive the carriage out of the city, and he was ready to go home, He Quan and Sun Xiaozi were driving outside, and Sun Xiaozi was still talking to He Quan about the great excitement of today's Wuwatch Lane.
Because He Quan wanted to escort Weng Xiaoyuan, he didn't know what was going on behind him, so he was dumbfounded: "It's actually ......"
"Be careful!" didn't finish a sentence, He Quan's words came to an abrupt end, He Quan's frightened shouts and the neighing of the horse came from outside, the car shook violently, the horse neighed in fear, raised its front hooves high, and rushed forward before it fell, Li Shuci was unstable and almost fell, Mu Yun held on, the two of them had not yet sat down, the carriage was a sharp bump, and Sun Xiaozi asked in horror outside: "Who are you!"
With a terrible cry of pain, Li Shuci grabbed the window frame and barely froze, hula lifted the curtain, just in time to see Sun Xiaozi rolling off the carriage with his hands on his chest, blood spurting. Several black-clad and masked men followed closely behind the carriage. Li Shuci looked at the scarlet blood, sighed in his heart, subconsciously raised his hand and grabbed his throat, and touched the string of jade beads on his neck, with a jade white whistle hanging on it, Li Shuci was stunned for a moment and tore it off, put it in his mouth and blew it hard.
The sharp and fluctuating whistle went straight to the eardrums, which her grandfather gave her, and the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion would definitely come to their rescue. Mu Yun pulled up the door curtain and pulled the reins hard with He Quan, trying to stabilize the galloping carriage, but the horse was stabbed by the man in black with a dagger on the buttocks, and he rushed forward in pain, the more he pulled, the more frightened he became, and the more he ran, the more painful it became. The Remnant Wind Inn is only more than 100 zhang away from the West City Gate, and the carriage has rushed to the city gate at this time, and the four or five guards at the West City Gate fall to the ground at this time, I don't know if they are unconscious or already dead.
Li Shuci's eyes turned sharply to look around, the outside of Xicheng was full of snow-covered mountains and wild paths, and the man in black seemed to deliberately drag the frightened horse to the remote mountain road, Li Shuci forced himself to suppress the horror in his heart, and said: "Mu Yun, if the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion don't arrive for a while, you and He Quan quickly escape, leave me alone!"
Mu Yun's eyes were red, and he was on the same side as He Quan, pulling the reins tightly, and the two of them said resolutely in unison: "No!"
Mu Yun's hands had been ground out of blood by the reins: "What stupid thing did the girl say! Mu Yun followed the girl, born as a girl's person, and died as a girl's ghost!"
As he was talking, there was a clanging sound of fighting behind him, and the horses neighed and shouted in chaos, Li Shuci looked at it and said in surprise: "It's the Xiangfu guard!"
"Girl, sit tight!" Mu Yun shouted loudly when he saw that the rescuers were coming, signaling He Quan to prepare to jump out of the car. Saying that, he neatly pulled out a soft sword from his waist, with a flick of his wrist, the long and thin sword body swirled around the horse's neck, the horse shivered in pain, the neighing sound suddenly turned into a whimper, blood spurted out in an instant, the horse body took advantage of the momentum to rush forward and fell to the ground with two steps, the carriage was pulled aside for a while and overturned, Mu Yun jumped up, pulled up Li Shuci and jumped out of the carriage, and the two rolled on the ground in embarrassment for several times before stopping.
He Quan didn't stretch out his hand as neatly as Mu Yun, jumped out of the carriage and avoided it, fell next to the dead horse, fainted, and the horse's neck was still bubbling with blood, staining He Quan's face.
Li Shuci was still in pain when he was held in Mu Yun's arms, and before he could get up, Mu Yun screamed, turned over and pressed Li Shuci under him, and the long sword in the hand of the man in black stabbed into Mu Yun's shoulder blade with a bang. Li Shuci reacted subconsciously, and put a foot on the man's knee, Li Shuci usually followed the blind gesture to Jiumuyun, and this time the force was not small, the man screamed in pain, and in this space, the Xiangfu guards came up and led the man in black aside.
The current situation is not objective, although there are many guards in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but the few black-clothed people are well-trained, with one to three, there are already four or five guards behind the carriage who have fallen to the ground, their throats have been cut by sharp weapons, and they are still convulsing violently, the heavy smell of blood is disgusting, Li Shuci forcibly endured the discomfort, put the cotton handkerchief on Mu Yun's wound, tore off the skirt and wrapped it, Mu Yun's lips were pale, and beads of sweat appeared on his head, obviously the injury was not light, looking at the guards who were gradually chaotic in the outer rules, and said urgently: "No, if it goes on like this, won't it be certain death!"
Li Shuci watched the Xiangfu guards being killed by the black-clothed people in waves, and his heart became heavier and heavier, "This is premeditated! This group of black-clothed people followed all the way and waited for Xiang Jiu to leave before moving. ”
As soon as Mu Yun gritted his teeth, he picked up the soft sword that fell to the side and rushed forward, Li Shuci saw that blood was oozing from Mu Yun's back shoulder blades, and tears almost burst out of his eyes, "Mu Yun!
A few more black-clothed people rushed out from the oblique stabbing and went straight to Li Shuci, Mu Yun wanted to rescue him too late, but these black-clothed people did not shoot to kill, but surrounded her. Mu Yun rushed a few steps, trying to pull Li Shuci to his side, a snowy knife light slashed in front of Mu Yun, and the strength of the blade fell to the side with Mu Yun, but the blood line flew high, and the scarlet bright red blood gradually rose to the side of Li Shuci's face.
She watched Mu Yun fall in the red and white snow blankly, feeling the heat on her cheeks, her heart was like a knife, could it be that she still couldn't change the fate of her body and soul when she came back for a lifetime!
A piercing scream was heard in the open woods......
Li Shuci leaned helplessly on the cold tree behind him, and the cold spread from his back to the bottom of his heart......
