Chapter 340: Angry and Corrupt
The old man's voice was like ripples, echoing in the woods, even if the people present were all martial arts masters, they couldn't tell the clue for a long time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info But Li Shuci is an exception, she keeps seducing the other party to speak, that is, she is subdividing the position of the opposite. I'm afraid that the other party is also afraid of what happens, so he has been very hesitant and easily reluctant to speak.
Helian Tao and Li Shuci glanced at each other, and the two smiled heartily, and that tacit understanding didn't need to be explained. He said, "Do you want to exchange the news for your life, or do you want to exchange the news for a chance to escape?"
The old man must not really be in exchange, and he doesn't know what medicine is sold in the gourd. Hearing this, he immediately said angrily: "Hmph! The kid is rampant!"
Before the man could say more, Li Shuci silently raised his hand and pointed to the dense forest behind him, and Helian Tao rushed out with an arrow in his sleeve. With a muffled snort, a person suddenly fell from the big tree more than a dozen feet away and rolled on the ground a few times. The guards swept like the wind and carried the man before the people.
Li Shuci and Helian Tao couldn't help but be surprised when they saw this person, this person who called himself an 'old man' was just a child about ten years old, if it weren't for his old appearance, Li Shuci would still think that he had caught the wrong person.
Helian Tao crouched forward to see if the man was dead, but the man suddenly opened his eyes, showed an extremely cruel look, and slashed at his neck with the dagger in his hand. Helian Tao's eyes were coldly lit, and there was no superfluous movement in his hand, and the soft arrow rolled up the man's wrist as if it had eyes.
A small and old hand flew into the air with blood light, the man didn't seem to expect Helian Tao's movements to be so sharp, his expression stopped for a moment, and then he screamed, covered his wrist with his other hand and rolled in pain, the blood on his face became darker and darker, presumably the poison on the sleeve arrow finally attacked, and he stopped screaming in pain in a moment.
"The people under Jin Sheng are really strange. Helian Tao frowned, watching Bai Liyou and Zhao Feiran busy among the guards, bandaging their wounds, and couldn't help but worry: "As always, it's hidden!"
Li Shuci took his hand and clasped his fingers. said: "Speaking of deep concealment, my husband is also a master. We can't figure him out, and he can't figure out us either. It is not clear who will win and who will lose. ”
Helian Tao heard Li Shuci call him 'husband', and praised him for hiding it deeply, so he suddenly laughed, pulled her into his arms, turned his back to everyone, and pecked her lightly on the forehead. Li Shuci was so embarrassed by his action that his face turned red, and he quickly broke free and stepped on his feet. Helian Tao said 'ah' and looked at everyone in embarrassment, but not only did everyone not look at him, but they also turned their faces to the sky and pretended not to see anything, and they all 'passed by' from the sight of the two of them, and went down the mountain with their respective weapons.
Li Shuci smiled and stabbed Helian Tao in the ribs with his elbow: "These people under you are really 'acquaintances'!" Helian Tao pulled her up and followed everyone down the mountain: "Just now, the people from Hongdu Mansion have already sent back news." ”
"Oh, what do you say, the Zhao family is now in power with Zhao Feiran's two elder brothers?"
Helian Tao shook his head: "Things are more complicated than we thought. He frowned slightly and glanced at Zhao Feiran in front of him. He added: "After seeing the news sent back, I was a little suspicious, and kept asking my subordinates to pay attention to his every move, but I didn't expect that he saved your life." ”
"What happened? Could it be that something happened to the Zhao family?"
"The third master of the Zhao family, the king of medicine, has returned to the Zhao family before and after we left Beijing, and has controlled the Zhao family up and down with extremely neat means. Zhao Feiran's two eldest brothers also bowed down to him, who do you think this person will be?"
Li Shuci was taken aback: "Could it be ...... Is this a bit too much of a coincidence?"
"I think so too, that's why I doubt this Zhao Feiran next to us. I made a few conjectures and came up with a result. Helian Tao wrapped his arms around Li Shuci's waist and helped her jump over a pothole that was difficult to walk, and said: "Zheng Ting's matter was controlled by Jin Sheng, and he made preparations with both hands, one to separate you and me, if it doesn't work, he will force you out of Beijing, and he will take advantage of the situation to loot." ”
The latter words Helian Tao didn't say so clearly, but Li Shuci made it clear, no matter whether Jin Sheng was not giving up on her, or just using her, as long as Jin Sheng had her in hand, several larger forces would be contained. If these forces all give up on her, then it is even more logical for him Jin Sheng to have Li Shuci.
Helian Tao continued: "Whatever he wants to do, there must be a premise. That's a safe place to hide. It's still the old saying, the most dangerous place is the safest place, and it is indeed a very clever choice to hide in the Zhao family, the king of medicine, as the son of the world. Moreover, this person entered the Zhao family at the same time as we left Beijing, judging from the time and way of doing things, this Zhao Sanye must be Jin Sheng. Also, don't forget, the Zhao family also happened to have a concubine who married your uncle. ”
Li Shuci nodded and said, "You're right...... There is indeed no other possibility for this kind of coincidence. Since he replaced Zhao Feiran, but he didn't kill Zhao Feiran, I don't think he knew that Zheng Ting's husband who was picked up was the missing Zhao Sanye of the Zhao family. ”
Helian Tao added: "In addition, I also thought of a reason why Jin Sheng chose the Zhao family. ”
Li Shuci looked at him suspiciously: "What else?"
"Don't you think the Zhao family's family motto is very strange?" Seeing that he was about to reach the foot of the mountain, he pulled Li Shuci to stop, watched the guards reassemble, and said in a low voice: "There are only two situations for escaping the world, one is that he is tired of the hustle and bustle of the world, and he doesn't want to fight anymore. However, this point is completely inapplicable to the Zhao family. I think there is only one other situation, and that is to avoid trouble!"
"Avoiding trouble?" Li Shuci thought along his train of thought, and couldn't help but suddenly understand: "Jin Sheng has always regarded himself as the blood of the ancient clan, and most of the loyal forces around him are also the old tribe of the ancient clan. Could it be that the Zhao family is a retreat left for him in advance?"
Helian Tao shook his head: "This point cannot be confirmed yet. It's just that if the Zhao family is the old tribe of the ancient clan, their behavior of suppressing their descendants can be explained clearly. ”
It is also possible that the Zhao family did not want to participate in the royal struggle at all, and deliberately concealed the identity of the old tribe of the ancient clan, but the Confucian King found them through clues. ”
"I hope so. Seeing Zhao Feiran looking over, Helian Tao couldn't help but say: "If the Zhao family is not willing, things will be much easier." ”
Shangjing Li Mansion.
Pang Zi was crooked on the couch, holding a small bronze mirror in his hand, and after looking at it for a long time, he suddenly threw the bronze mirror to the ground in a bit of anger.
Jiao Rong came in and saw it, and complained: "Auntie, what are you doing? She is not young, can she still expect to make a living by relying on her beauty and appearance? Besides, this disease is not a day or two, and when can it be delayed, I always say that I will go back when it is better, and I have urged it several times, and my aunt has given a happy word." ”
As soon as Pang Zi heard this, his eyebrows suddenly rose upside down, and he glanced at her obliquely: "How can you move? It's your turn to take care of my business as a girl? Aren't you afraid that the old lady will tear your mouth?"
As soon as Jiao Rong heard her words, she stood at the door and lifted the curtain to see that there was no one outside, so she threw the curtain down and said, "Hmph, I don't know, can my aunt be able to make her own decisions now?"
Pang Zi jumped up from the couch angrily, pointed at Jiao Rong and scolded: "You! How long have you grown bear heart and leopard guts, and you dare to curse me like this?"
"Hmph. Jiao Rong sneered: "The slave maid is not thinking about the aunt, you still think that you are a teenage girl? Eating the bowl and looking at the pot, thinking that she is young and immortal, while thinking about getting back the heart of the second master, she still wants to pull her cousin and hold on, there is such a good thing in the world? Auntie doesn't want to think about it, when you were young, did you ever get the heart of the second master? Now your cousin is willing to give you a few dollars in your hand, are you still not satisfied?"
Pang Zi's anger was burning, and she slapped it over, but she had been ill for a long time, so Jiao Rong easily dodged it: "Auntie, don't be in a hurry to do it, if this matter is noisy, there will be a chance to do it!" At this time, the slave maid also advised the aunt, since she has taken the medicine that the sixth girl begged for, she has already improved a lot, so she should hurry up and think of a way to deal with the matter of her cousin. ”
"I think of a way, what can I do!"
Jiao Rong looked at Pang Zi glaring at her fiercely, and she was not afraid, anyway, she had already said it, so she simply said happily: "When my aunt couldn't hold back and wanted to have a good fight with my cousin, I didn't say this, but now that my cousin has this incident, you have to leave it alone? It's just a matter that can be solved with a few dollars, and it doesn't want your aunt's life!"
"How much money?" Ponzi's mouth was crooked: "Why don't you go and raise money for him! Don't think I don't know, your little hoof has already rolled with him to the top of the bed, and followed him to eat and drink mine! Now you have become a grasshopper on a thread, and you will tear me off together? Do you think I really treat you as a thing? It's just a fun thing in my spare time! If I really annoy the old lady and me! I will immediately sell you to the kiln with your feet, don't believe you to try?"
Jiao Rong was also anxious at this time, her eyes were red, and she cried: "Auntie has no conscience in what she said! I said it a long time ago, the slave and maid were to be promised to my cousin, but my aunt gave silver and pasted it upside down, coaxing my cousin to make a good deal with you, but sandwiching the slave and maid between the two of you, and it didn't make people disgusting! In the end, something happened, one of you urged, the other hidden, did you still become a slave?"
Seeing that she had shaken out all this matter, Pang Zi couldn't help but tremble angrily, and was about to say something more, but Jiao Rui reported outside: "Auntie, the eldest lady is here." ”
