50 Listening to the drama assassination

Xiao Yu's peach blossom eyes have seven points of chic and three points of grace, so clear that they are not like mortal things, and Tang Ai saw the stars and the moon from the eyes of this pair.

It's terrible, this guy's eyes will be magical, see who is pregnant! Tang Ai's little heart was pounding, and his body involuntarily leaned down.

"Ahh She poked a small hole in Xiao Yu's face.

"Is that the end of it? I don't care at all. Xiao Yu smiled like a spring breeze, but rubbed Tang Ai's face vigorously, and gently gnawed Tang Ai's lips with his teeth.

"Childe, Childe and Tang Ai kissed!"

"Help, I'm going to die!"

Under the old trees on the mountain, there is not much blood spurting.

When Tang Ai went down the mountain, it was not yet sunset, Xiao Yu watched her back disappear, and coughed lightly twice in the direction of the old tree: "You two little rabbit cubs have seen enough, and they haven't come out yet." ”

As he said this, his voice seemed to become devoid again.

The little head poked out from behind the tree, pushed the wheelchair and ran over, carefully helping Xiao Yu to sit up.

"Childe, you and Tang Ai...... You-"

"Well, our relationship now is similar to what you two thought." Xiao Yu smiled peacefully and slowly closed his eyes.

"Childe-" I didn't want to say anything.

"Shhhhh Not a little hurriedly twisted the small fleshy arm, "When Childe wants to tell Tang Ai to the two of us, he will naturally say it." ”

With Tang Ai's footsteps, it won't take too long to return from Xishan to the city gate tower of Sijiu City. Now when I rush back to the city, I still have time to buy a fast horse, and then wear the stars and the moon to catch up with the road, then it will be no problem to enter Hebei.

Tang Ai had a good plan in his heart, and when he entered the city, he went straight to the mule and horse market, picked up a horse that he thought was good, and bought a copy of the "Dynasty Times" with his hands. This is the latest issue that has just been released today, and although she doesn't have the time to read it at the moment, she just rolled the newspaper into her baggage, but when she arrives at the station, she can still take it out and glance at it before going to bed.

Since the implementation of the new law on carriages and horses in the capital, sentry posts have been set up on the main traffic routes, and no one dares to gallop on the streets anymore. Tang Ai is a law enforcer himself, and he can lead by example, although he is anxious, he can only lead the horse on foot.

She was so focused on heading for the gates of the outer city, that she had no idea that there was an appointment waiting for her tonight. But it doesn't matter, because if she wants to go out of Nancheng, she will definitely pass through Xuanwumen Street, as long as she passes through Xuanwumen Street, she will definitely be able to see Xu Zhan waiting stupidly at the door of Xiao/Xiangguan.

The two tickets in Xu Zhan's hand were almost clutched into paper paste again. Tonight is the stage of the Hui Tune Famous Class and the Spring Class, and there is an endless stream of people who come to Xiao/Xiangguan to listen to the play. Xu Zhan is majestic and majestic, a head taller than everyone else, and has an awe-inspiring righteousness, he also belongs to the type that has to be noticed wherever he goes, and it is absolutely blind if he can't see him.

Tang Ai's eyes were so good, he casually glanced at the crowd and saw Xu Zhan standing out from the crowd, and Xu Zhan's eyes also happened to meet Tang Ai at this time. In the next moment, he had already pushed away the crowd and clucked in front of Tang Ai.

It wasn't until this moment that Tang Ai finally remembered that he seemed to have inherited something from Xu Zhan. A gentleman can't be dishonest with others, there is no way, just listen to the play, it seems that God will not let her Tang Ai out of the city today. She leaned the horse and her burden, entered the theater with Xu Zhan along the crowd, and explained to Xu Zhan that she was planning to go out alone, so she would prepare today and leave early in the morning.

Xu Zhan nodded as he listened, but his steps were not very natural, as if he was a little melancholy.

Xiao/Xiangguan is the first theater in Beijing, and every time a famous class takes the stage, it must be full. Many of the dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital have yuppies who listen to the opera, and the luxurious box on the second floor is for these masters, and the ticket price is of course expensive. Xu Zhan led Tang Ai straight up to the second floor and into one of the boxes. Even if he didn't say it, Tang Ai knew that he must have invested heavily in buying a ticket.

Ding Dong rumbled, gongs and drums sounded, and the show was staged immediately. The famous class is worthy of being a famous class, and there are only three or five people on the stage, but they show the momentum of thousands of troops.

Dao Ma Dan's figure was flying, and he played with a flower gun on the stage, and the flower gun was thrown out by him and picked it up, and then he made a dozen or two turns in his hand, which attracted a lot of applause from the audience. The sword and horse did not stop in his hand, and with a shake of his hand, the spear flew up again.

However, this time, the spear did not fall back into the hands of Dao Ma Dan, but flew out of the stage with a whizz, and went according to the box in the center of the stage on the second floor!

The audience was immersed in the play, and when everyone reacted, several people playing minions on the stage had already drawn their big knives with their teeth and claws, and flew straight to the box.

The great change came too suddenly, and the audience immediately panicked and ran away, and after a while, they all ran away.

The box that was attacked was next to the box of Tang Ai and Xu Zhan, and the sound of clanging swords immediately stopped, which was terrifying, and at the same time, someone in the box shouted "protect the prince".

Tang Ai and Xu Zhan were suddenly startled, glanced at each other, and leaped out together.

In the box here, a young man of twenty-six or seventeen years old was standing in the corner under the protection of two attendants, and his other two attendants were fighting with the play with their faces.

Seeing this situation, Tang Ai and Xu Zhan immediately joined the battle, tacitly attacking one person and assisting the other, and fighting with the play. It didn't take a cup of tea to make these big knife faces were subdued by Tang Ai and Xu Zhan one by one.

The young man walked out from the attendant, and several of the attendants said in unison, "The prince is frightened!" He clenched his fists and stood aside.

Tang Ai looked at the appearance and age of the young man, and then listened to these people shouting "Wang Ye" one by one, and quickly guessed the identity of the young man.

This person should be the third prince of the Great/Celestial Dynasty, King Gong Xiao Chengli.

Xiao Chengli was born rich and handsome, his clothes were secretly respectful in a low-key manner, his gestures were humble and polite, and his instruments were extraordinary, and he was a handsome boy who would make people feel good at just one glance.

He didn't look at the subdued actors, but stepped forward and thanked Xu Zhan and Tang Ai respectfully. Xu Zhan knew Xiao Chengli, but Xiao Chengli didn't know Tang Ai, so he asked Xu Zhan who this chivalrous man was.

Tang Ai hurriedly returned the salute to Xiao Chengli and reported his official subordinates in the six doors.

"It turns out that Your Excellency is Lord Xiao Tang of the Six Doors, and he has admired his name for a long time." Xiao Chengli sincerely bowed to Tang Ai again.

Later, he told Tang Ai and Xu Zhan that he was going to return to Lingnan in the near future, and when he heard that he and the spring class came to Beijing and appeared on the stage of Xiao/Xiangguan, he wanted to take advantage of the fact that he had not left Beijing. With that, he turned his face to look at a few of the assassins dressed as actors.

The attendants asked in unison, "Lord Wang, what should we do with these people?" ”

Xiao Chengli rolled his eyes, looked at Tang Ai and Xu Zhan earnestly, and said meticulously: "Lord Xu, Lord Tang, I don't know who wants to harm me, and I don't have the authority to interrogate criminals, I don't know if these assassins can be transferred to the two of them, and the pro-military Governor's Mansion or the Six Doors will decide the case?" ”

The prince was assassinated, the assassin was arrested, and investigating the ins and outs of the whole thing to find out the real culprit behind the scenes, Tang Ai and Xu Zhan can be said to be duty-bound.

Xu Zhan solemnly said that he would find out the truth, Tang Ai couldn't say that he was on vacation in front of so many people, so he had to nod along with Xu Zhan.

The Xiao/Xiang Pavilion was not far from the Pro-Army Governor's Mansion, and Xu Zhan soon led his men back, completely sealed off the Xiao/Xiang Pavilion, and sent several of his subordinates to escort Xiao Chengli back to the Pavilion.

Xiao Chengli walked out without two steps, but turned around and said to Xu Zhan and Tang Ai: "I entered Beijing this time, and I have discussed political affairs with my father and emperor many times, and it is very likely that I inadvertently left the will of other people, if someone wants to harm me because of this, it will be really unsmart." I have been sealed away by my father, and I will never be allowed to return to Beijing without being summoned, so what have I done with what I said? ”

He paused, and then said: "The investigation is not in a hurry, the two adults are defending me against the assassins today, I really don't know how to repay the grace of saving my life, the two of you at least want to give a face to my hotel, I am willing to drink with the two of you and chat with them to show respect." ”

His Royal Highness King Gong was full of fists, and Tang Ai and Xu Zhan were not easy to refuse, so they had to go to the hotel in the east of the city with him.

Xiao Chengli's restaurant is simple and simple, without any luxury, and there are not even a few servants. And Xiao Chengli himself is polite and approachable, smiling at the only few servants, compared with his second emperor brother Xiao Chengyi, his style of acting is simply one heaven and one earth.

The wine and food are on the table, they are all light dishes, and there are no delicacies from the mountains and seas. Xiao Chengli smiled and said that he had always advocated simplicity, which was the case when he was in Lingnan, and asked Tang Ai and Xu Zhan to forgive him, and Tang Ai admired His Royal Highness King Gong even more in his heart.

Tang Ai followed the prince and Xu Zhan together, and the topic they talked about was the family, the country, the world, and the people. From the border situation between Goryeo, Jurchen, Mongolia and other countries and the Heaven/Dynasties, they talked about the newly implemented various domestic laws in one breath, and Xiao Chengli praised the reformed chariot and horse laws. When he learned that Tang Ai had contributed to the implementation of this law, he was even more admired, and insisted on giving Tang Ai three cups.

Tang Ai's wine strength is neither bad nor good, and after drinking a few more glasses, his head is already a little dizzy. Xiao Chengli happened to be back in Mongolia at this time, and Xinning was mentioned in his words. Listening to the meaning of his words, Xiao Qing, the son of heaven, still did not agree to send Xin Ning to marry, and Xin Ning seemed to have a strange disease in the past few days, and there was no other problem with her body, but her face was full of red sores, and she couldn't see anyone. It is said that the imperial doctor has thought of many ways, but he can't get rid of these red sores, so Xinning has been nesting in the dormitory for several days, and the door is not out of the door.

Tang Ai couldn't help but sigh when he thought of Xinning's delicate little face, looking even more sorry than His Royal Highness King Gong. She couldn't help but secretly ponder again, not knowing how Xiao Yu would feel when she heard the news.

After eating this meal, the night was already very deep, and Xiao Chengli wanted to leave Xu Zhan and Tang Ai to rest in the hotel.

Tang Ai couldn't get out of the city, and he had nowhere to go, so he thought that it was not impossible to stay and spend the night. Xu Zhan seemed to refuse politely at first, but after taking a look at Tang Ai, he also responded to Xiao Chengli's kindness and was arranged in two passenger compartments side by side with Tang Ai.

Tang Ai was drunk, but not very sleepy, so he wanted to turn out the "Dynasty Times" and read it. But as soon as she touched the baggage, the roll of newspaper was gone, thinking that it had slipped out of the baggage during the Xiao/Xiangguan fight.

Tang Ai couldn't read the newspaper, but he didn't want to sleep, so he simply got up and sobered up. She looked at the moonlight, pushed the door open, and walked out of the courtyard of the passenger compartment.

There are also two bunches of figures on the other side of the hotel, one is Xiao Chengli, and the other is Tang Ai has never seen it. She looked over from a distance, and saw that the person next to Xiao Chengli seemed to be an old man with strange bones, gray hair and gray beard, and his back was like a fairy wind and bones.

As soon as Xiao Chengli turned around, he saw Tang Ai, asked, "Why didn't Lord Xiao Tang sleep", and walked over with the old man.

The old man has a face like an eagle and a lonely look, which is an unforgettable appearance. He called himself "Xuan Mingzi", and he was Xiao Chengli's doorman, and he left after saying hello to Tang Ai.

Tang Ai didn't think too much about it, and went back to the cabin after saying goodbye to Xiao Chengli. Lying on the bed, she unconsciously thought of the old man's face, and for some reason, she felt that the old man's eyes were faintly ruthless.

In the early morning of the next day, Tang Ai and Xu Zhan bid farewell to Xiao Chengli. Xu Zhan hurried back to interrogate the assassin of the previous night, and Tang Ai was about to leave the city, so the two parted ways outside the Xuanwu Gate.

Tang Ai returned to his heart like an arrow, walked all the way to the southwest, and entered Shanxi after more than ten days. According to her plan, in another month or so, she will be able to reach the junction of Sichuan and Shaanxi.

Ten days is enough time for many people to do a lot of things. Within ten days of Tang Ai's departure from the capital, Xu Zhan made the group of assassins who were disguised as actors confess.

It's not that he didn't torture these people, but it's not capital punishment either, all in all, these people's mouths are not as strict as they imagined.

The truth that came out of the mouths of these people is probably that they learned that Xiao Chengli would go to Xiao/Xiangguan to listen to the play, so they quietly infiltrated the Hechun class, kidnapped the famous characters of the Hechun class before the stage, and then unknowingly put on the drama makeup and sang on stage, waiting for the opportunity to assassinate Xiao Chengli.

But when these people confessed to the masterminds behind the scenes, the entire pro-army Governor's Mansion was shocked - they said that the person who instructed them to assassinate King Gong Xiao Chengli was the crown prince Xiao Chengren!

In order to keep his mouth alive, Xu Zhan asked his subordinates to watch over these people day and night, ensuring that these people would not commit suicide by playing coldly, while he himself went to Xishan to find Xiao Yu for this case.

The weather is getting colder and colder day by day, and the sun finally comes out this day, and the corners of the elegant courtyard are finally covered with sunshine.

Xiao Yu changed into a heavier fur coat, although he was still in a wheelchair, his spirit was a little better than he looked a while ago. When Xu Zhan arrived at the courtyard, he was sitting on the edge of the stone platform playing chess with himself, while Lan Ya was decocting medicine in the house.

"Are you doing well?" Xu Zhan only asked this sentence.

"Well, I've been doing nothing all day, and grass has grown on my head." Xiao Yu smiled helplessly, "You came to me, you definitely didn't just want to show your concern, right?" ”

Xu Zhan coughed embarrassedly, and didn't talk about anything else, and made a brief statement of the case to Xiao Yu sternly, and then asked, "You say, is the person who sent someone to assassinate King Gong really the prince?" ”

Xiao Yu blinked, his eyes were meaningful: "Why is the prince so sad, he can be shot while lying down." ”
