Chapter 414, The Truth of Terrible Things
Situ Xichen saw that it was impossible to catch up with Liu Ziyi, so he had no choice but to give up, and hurriedly sat down to regulate his breath, with his recovery ability, it only took ten minutes for this injury on his body to recover as before, and when the injuries on his body were almost healed, he decided to return to the Ming Mansion first and then make plans.
After he went back, he learned that Liu Ziyi and the commotion caused by him did not know when it had subsided, and he didn't think about it so much. I think that the actions of those guards are still right, after all, there is a threat at home now, and the more important thing is to take precautions.
He first came to Ming Xi'er's residence, after all, the incident started here, in short, it must be right to take a look, as soon as he came to the door, he found that the security here had become much stricter, and the place where there were only one or two guards now became the number of a team.
"How's Miss Hill?"
Situ Xichen stepped forward to ask one of the guards, and when the latter saw him, he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, and said respectfully:
"Mr. Situ, Miss is very good, but I don't know why she hasn't been able to wake up from such a big movement......
Speaking of this, the guard's expression was obviously a little wrong, it stands to reason that the sound caused by Liu Ziyi when he broke the window was enough for a sleeping person to wake up, but Ming Xi'er could still sleep peacefully......
"It's okay, I just ordered the ban in order not to alarm Miss, and she will wake up tomorrow morning."
As soon as he mentioned this, Situ Xichen was obviously a little weak-hearted, he took the medicine in order to be able to restrict Liu Ziyi's actions, but he didn't expect that it was Ming Xi'er who really affected its effect in the end, but fortunately, the latter is also the strength of the gods, and the dosage of the medicine is not very much, as long as he sleeps peacefully, he will be fine, and he can't even use the antidote.
It is precisely because this hypnotic drug did not achieve the effect he expected on Liu Ziyi's body that he felt that his "prescription" should be updated, and the people he met in the past were not very strong people, and the effect of this medicine was not bad, but he didn't expect that the effect of the hypnotic drug on the attribute god of "No. 5" was so weak.
"Let Mr. Situ bother."
The guards said respectfully, as soon as they thought of what had just happened, they felt a palpitation, if Situ Xichen hadn't found out earlier, maybe the assassin would have succeeded, after all, the Ming Mansion was too detached for this country, causing them to be so stable that they had forgotten the truth of being prepared for danger in times of peace.
"Since I am employed by the Ming family, then I will naturally do my best."
Situ Xichen waved his hand and smiled, just about to leave, but as if he suddenly remembered something, he turned back to the guard and said:
"Tell me not to mention today's events to Miss Ciel, she's just a child."
"My subordinates understand."
The guard was stunned for a moment, and even if he understood Situ Xichen's intentions, Ming Xi'er was just a teenage girl no matter what she said, and tonight's events were really not suitable for her to know, if she knew that her life was being watched, I am afraid that this child's childhood would turn sour.
Situ Xichen returned to his residence, just before the spark he left behind was about to disappear, but now it seems that this thing is useless, those guards almost know that they have come out, and it is also self-deception to leave the proof that they are still in the room here.
"I didn't expect Liu Ziyi to show his fox tail so early......"
Originally, the rules of young people's lives were different from those of those old people, and Situ Xichen generally didn't sleep and practice at night, after such a battle, he didn't feel sleepy at all, but he was not in the mood to cultivate, so he simply sat on the bed and thought about today's things, but what made him feel relaxed was that it was fortunate that Liu Ziyi exposed his dissent so early, if it was later, even if his suspicion subsided a little, he was very likely to succeed.
"I believe he should have stayed away this time."
Situ Xichen secretly thought in his heart, Liu Ziyi is not an idiot, naturally he knows that it is absolutely impossible to stay in this Ming Mansion after his identity is exposed, Ming Gu is not as kind as he seems, just imagine how ruthless a person with ambition is enough to swallow the hearts of the entire country? If this kind of person knew that he was going to deal with his own daughter, hiss--it would be terrible to think about.
This night passed quickly, and the next morning, Situ Xichen originally thought that the Ming Mansion would arrange maids and the like, but he didn't expect that it was Zhang Yiming who asked him to get up, and after a simple freshening, Zhang Yiming took him to have breakfast with Ming Gu and Ming Xi'er, and the topics that the two talked about along the way were nothing more than last night.
"Thank you so much last night, if it weren't for you, the eldest lady would ...... I can't afford to lose my life. ”
Zhang Yiming thanked him from the bottom of his heart, and at the same time blamed himself a little, obviously an outsider could find out about it, but he didn't know about it, in the final analysis, it was all his dereliction of duty as the captain of the guard.
"Loyal people are just doing their best, Brother Zhang's achievements in the Ming family are vivid, why do you need to blame yourself like this."
Situ Xichen shook his head, all he said were polite words, what he said was meritorious, but he never said last night's dereliction of duty, precisely because he knew that Zhang Yiming didn't need anyone to forgive him anyway, at best, he just wanted to find a psychological comfort, and even if he wanted to find someone to forgive, he would definitely not be able to take his turn Situ Xichen.
But even with this kind of perfunctory line, Zhang Yiming was still very moved, not that he couldn't hear it, but Situ Xichen's words just gave him a reason to let himself go.
Because breakfast is not a serious time to eat, it is not as grand as last night, and the place to eat is also an ordinary main hall, and it is a busy time during the day, so there are not so many rules, generally whoever arrives first can start eating first, so when Situ Xichen came, Ming Gu was already dining.
"Xichen, are you here?"
Situ Xichen gave Ming Gu a slight salute, and then sat down, and the maid beside him served him a bowl of porridge.
"Thank you so much for last night's incident, if it weren't for you, the little girl wouldn't know what would have happened."
Ming Gu smiled at Situ Xichen, looking calm, as if it wasn't his daughter who was almost killed last night, which made Situ Xichen can't help but feel that a person who has seen the world is really different, and at the same time it also gives him a new understanding of the Ming family, obviously he experienced that kind of thing yesterday, but today he can still be so orderly, which is not unrelated to the operation of the person in front of him.
"It's all within the responsibility of the juniors, but it's a pity that I couldn't catch that villain."
Situ Xichen was a little disappointed, but he was still struggling with whether to tell Liu Ziyi that Liu Ziyi was the person who assassinated last night, and after thinking about it again, he still decided to say it, although this kind of family ugliness is not good for him to point out as an outsider, but it is better than hindsight, so he said solemnly:
"Uncle Ming, I ...... about the assassin last night."
Just as he was about to tell all that he had seen last night, a person suddenly came out from behind the screen of the main hall, still holding a stack of paper in his hand, and put it in front of Ming Gu, and said softly:
"Master, this is a breakdown of the army's expenses last month, please take a look at it and sign it."
"Well, let it go."
Ming Gu picked up the report with a flat face and looked at it a few times, and then signed his name.
This scene happened in a big family like the Ming family, which was not so strange, but Situ Xichen was speechless in shock after seeing it, if you want to ask why, the person who stepped forward to hand over the report was none other than Liu Ziyi!!
"Xichen, what happened to the person you just said about stabbing last night?"
Ming Gu put down the report in his hand and smiled at Situ Xichen.
Situ Xichen's eyes widened, and he almost didn't think about it, he shot the case directly, and pointed at Liu Ziyi with a big hand and shouted angrily:
"Uncle Mingu, it's him!"
"What!"
Ming Gu was shocked, looked at Liu Ziyi with a look of disbelief, and said coldly:
"Is it really you?!"
"Master, I, I'm ......"
Liu Ziyi's expression began to become flustered, and Ming Gu immediately understood the meaning, and said angrily:
"Someone! Grab this damn thing! ”
…………
Do you think this is a happy ending? How can it be!
Situ Xichen was completely stunned, but in his heart, he seemed to understand everything - why Ming Gu didn't know anything about himself and Ming Xi'er being followed, why Liu Ziyi had bad intentions but could work in the Ming Mansion for so many years, why did the guards seem to lose their effect last night and couldn't even look at an attribute god, why when he went out to chase Liu Ziyi, none of the strong men of the Ming family came out to help......
Now that these are all explained, he finally understands, why did he have so many whys in his heart?
Because Minggu and Liu Ziyi are in the same group!!
He couldn't believe that the person who wanted to harm his daughter was actually him, the guy who was a father!
"Xichen, did you just say that the person who assassinated last night? What happened to him? ”
Minggu put down the report in his hand and smiled slightly.
Situ Xichen's heart was turbulent at this time, but his face still maintained the previous expression, and he said helplessly:
"No, it's just a pity that I didn't see the thief."
What else can he say at this point? A word to pierce that Liu Ziyi's hypocritical face? Isn't that punctured along with Mingu! Now it is not only Liu Ziyi who is against him or the ethereal organization that destroys the world, but the entire Ming family that is close at hand! He has seen through it now, and he has figured it out, this mission is definitely not a good thing for him, but a catastrophe, no matter what, he can't stay in this house for a minute or a second, even if he escapes, he has to leave this place of right and wrong immediately!!
