50. Sabre-rattling
Zhu Shouqian's pupils shrank suddenly, and he looked fixedly at the eight thorns he bought.
The prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty showed a mocking smile, "What's so strange about this? Our Golden Family has also been the owner of this land for decades. The world is big, it is not the king's land, the shore of the land, it is not the king's ministers, this prosperous place in Jinling, has long arranged our dark pile. That's right, there are indeed people like Zhang Yu who betrayed our Northern Yuan, but brave and loyal people also abound. ”
Zhu Shouqian was silent for a moment, and then smiled, "You think you are the heir of the Golden Family, but how many people in the Northern Yuan Dynasty want you to die in Jinling now?" Never going back? ”
The eight thorns he bought said: "I am the only son of my father and the emperor, and I am also the son-in-law. ”
Zhu Shouqian said: "Your so-called father is in the prime of life, and he will have many sons in the future." And you—I'm afraid that all over the world, only your mother, Empress Quan, really wants you to go back. I advise you, don't play some small tricks, come out with some moths, and feel at ease here as your proton, there may be a way out in the future. ”
Chess meets opponents, and this time it's the turn to buy the eight stabs.
Zhu Shouqian said: "You are not qualified to make a deal with me, let's stabilize those so-called hidden stakes first-they may still be loyal to the Golden Family, but given that you may be an outcast at any time, they will pay a price for you." ”
The eight thorns that I bought were disgraced by what Zhu Shouqian said, but he still maintained a light smile, "Only the shaman gods know about the future." These days, in the main hall of the imperial palace of your country, I listened to Master Song Lian talk about history, and the king of Qinzhuang was also a hostage in Handan, Zhao State, and later returned to China to inherit the throne with the help of Lü Buwei. The so-called will, there is a way, you should not be so pessimistic about my future. ”
Zhu Shouqian said coldly: "Whether you will live or die in the future, whether you are an abandoned son or the emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, what does it have to do with me?" I don't have the time to predict your future. ”
"Of course it's about you!" The eight thorns who bought it said in a low voice: "You are also surnamed Zhu, are you really only willing to be a county king?" ”
Zhu Shouqian said coldly: "Don't think that no matter what you do, my uncle will not kill you." ”
The eight thorns he bought seemed to see through Zhu Shouqian's heart, and said in a low voice: "Yes, as long as you encounter betrayal, whether it is true or not, your uncle will be ruthless and merciless, just like his grandfather Xie Zaixing and your biological parents who used to deal with you." ”
As soon as he heard this, although Zhu Shouqian knew that he was sowing discord, the hidden pain in his heart gradually swelled up, and he couldn't suppress it anymore.
The point is so far, it's too much. The eight thorns that I bought finally shut up, thinking that if that Yao girl was really Xu Feng, maybe she could also use it, after all, they were all Xie Zaixing's grandsons, and her mother also died strangely......
Yao Miaoyi didn't know that she was being targeted by the prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and she was bent on carrying out the plan she had made with her father-in-law and brother last night.
The so-called Jiming Mountain Palace, in fact, is the former Jinling big family in the Jiming Mountain of the courtyard, after the family broke down and died, the house was owned by the royal family, according to the establishment of the system to renovate and expand, became the royal palace.
Outside the palace is a royal safari paddock, when passing through this place, Yao Miaoyi threw through the carriage window, and actually saw that the leader of the Captain's Mansion was guarding here, it was the Ming Sect traitor Guo Yangtian!
"Brother-in-law." Yao Miaoyi alluded to Guo Yangtian's direction, "That's him." ”
Yao Jitong nodded, secretly noted down the person's appearance, and asked in a low voice: "Song Xiu'er and Ah Fu have been sent back to Baihetang for treatment, when Xiu'er wakes up, do you want her to come to the palace to accompany you?" ”
Yao Miaoyi shook her head, "Xiu'er is babbling, the palace shape is too complicated, don't make a mess." After the righteous brother went back, he told his father-in-law about the situation, and the plan must be changed, maybe it will be easier for us to take advantage of the chaos. ”
Yao Jitong sighed: "It's all this time, and you're still thinking about Mingjiao, what should you do about your own safety?" Those Assassins won't let you go. ”
"It doesn't matter." Yao Miaoyi pointed to the carriage in front of her, "Duke Wei and they are all here to protect me, and it is not so easy for assassins to succeed." ”
Along the way, Mao Xiang used various means to interrogate the assassins, and by the time he arrived at the palace, the assassins were already dying, and he almost confessed to what he knew.
The five assassins were all lone killers, who only knew money and nothing else. Three days ago, the Chinese who specialized in dirty business found the five of them, gave half of the deposit, and designated the target to be Dr. Yao of Baihetang.
These five people have been looking for opportunities, and it is difficult for people to come and go in Baihetang Pharmacy. Today, they have been following Yao Miaoyi and the three of them to the City God Temple, and they disguised themselves as Taoist priests of the City God Temple, thinking that these three people were just old and weak women and children, and they were in an inaccessible place like the Human Skin Temple, so they took decisive action and sent poisoned arrows to get rid of the three of them together, so as to avoid future troubles.
It's a pity that although Ah Fu is old, he is not weak; Yao Miaoyi is not an unrestrained person, and what she didn't expect was that Mao Xiao in the Human Skin Hall and the eight thorns in the house were both people with extraordinary identities, and they pulled out their swords to help, and on the other hand, they surrounded and killed.
The clue led to the person who specializes in human life business, this person is also the owner of an underground gambling house, this person is very cunning, and when he heard the news of the defeat at this moment, he should have packed up his money and prepared to escape!
Mao Xiang, Zhu Di and others immediately turned their horses' heads and returned to the city to search for the Chinese. Wei Guogong wrote a secret letter, stamped a private seal, and the flying pigeon passed the book, and the thirteen gates of Jinling City began to be under martial law, and the people who entered and left the city were searched.
Yao Miaoyi heard Zhu Shouqian relay the assassin's confession, her mind spun quickly, and she said, "I don't think things should be so simple, right?" When Mrs. Xu was assassinated ten years ago, there were soldiers guarding her side, and they all let them succeed in one blow and escape, leaving no clues at all. And how did the assassins who assassinated me today have frequent loopholes, and quickly found the mastermind behind them? ”
Yao Miaoyi's words are very reasonable, compared with the first meticulousness, this second assassination seems to be much hasti and simple, as if it is not the same person's handiwork.
Yao Jitong suddenly stood up and said, "Oops! Could it be that we are mistaken? Could it be that the target of the assassins was Song Xiu'er, the daughter of Song Xiaowei, who escorted Madame Xu back then? Could it be that Song Xiuer knew something back then? The real culprit behind the scenes may be someone else. ”
It's really possible! Yao Miaoyi hurriedly got up and bowed to Zhu Shouqian, "Ask King Jingjiang to bring Song Xiu'er to the palace as well, she may be in danger." ”
Zhu Shouqian was indifferent on his face, but in fact, he was also very anxious about the safety of this cousin in his heart, and wanted to protect her in the palace all the time, as for the life and death of that Song Xiu'er, he didn't care about it.
The eight thorns who bought it on the side volunteered to pat his chest and said, "Miss Yao, don't worry, this matter is on me, I will personally pick up Miss Song." This self-familiar look, as if he and Yao Miaoyi have not known each other for an hour, but for a year!
After that, without waiting for others to react, the eight thorns he bought rushed to Baihetang.
Who dares to let this prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty get off the list? All kinds of guards and soldiers rode up one after another, and the eight thorns they bought were surrounded in the middle, and the ground began to shake, and the horses' hooves shook dust and snow, and the sound was huge.
Song Xiu'er is escorted by this person, and she must be safe.
"This is ——?" Yao Jitong looked at Yao Miaoyi, and Yao Miaoyi explained the identity of the prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty in a few words. Yao Jitong was stunned.
At this moment, a pair of men and women walked in, both of them were brocade clothes and ermine furs, the man was tall and handsome, the woman was delicate, and her spirit was flying.
Zhu Shouqian stood up, "Second uncle, Miss Deng." ”
It is Zhu Zhang, the second prince who has just been crowned King of Qin, as for this Miss Deng, it should be Deng Ming, the pearl of Deng Yu, the Duke of Weiguo. Deng Yu is also one of the top ten heroes of the founding of the country, and he was awarded the title of first-class duke, and he is as famous as Xu Da, Duke of Wei, and Li Wenzhong, Duke of Jingguo.
The daughter of a military general, Deng Ming, like Chang Jin, was Yao Miaoyi's best friend when she was a child. Deng Ming and the second prince Zhu Fan have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and they are very close to each other, if it weren't for their mother's filial piety, it is estimated that they would have already been married.
Zhu Hu nodded towards everyone, "Miss Deng and I came to the palace to hunt, and I saw your group coming from afar, so I came to take a look." ”
"Zhu Shouqian, she looks quite like you." Deng Ming looked at Yao Miaoyi curiously and asked, "I heard Princess Huaiqing say that you forgot about your childhood, is this really the case?" When I was a child, I competed with you in archery, and you lost a gold collar, and you lay on the ground and refused to give it, do you remember this? ”
"I don't remember it." Yao Miaoyi secretly said in her heart, nonsense, that time it was obviously you who lost and cheated, how did it become that I didn't admit it? Ten years have passed, and Miss Deng is still this fierce temper that refuses to admit defeat.
Zhu Shouqian didn't admit Yao Miaoyi himself, but he didn't allow others to bully and slander, so he said: "Miss Deng, I remember that it was you who didn't admit it." ”
The second prince, Qin Wang Zhu Rong, looked at Deng Ming's gaze, gentle and able to melt ice and snow, where is he willing to let his new sweetheart suffer a little grievance? said: "Shouqian, don't be rude to Miss Deng." ”
was exposed to his childhood troubles in person, Deng Ming said sarcastically: "Zhu Shouqian, you are the same as when you were a child, you are not allowed to bully your baby cousin." Now that this Yao girl is true or false, you will protect it? So what are you waiting for? Let's get acquainted. ”
Prince Zhu Fan was centered on Deng Ming's likes and dislikes, and when he saw that his sweetheart had pulled back a game verbally, he was also happy to watch the excitement on the sidelines, and said: "That's right, we'll be a witness for you." ”
On weekdays in the palace, although the second prince Zhu Fan did not dare to treat the "son of a traitor" Zhu Shouqian on the surface, he secretly sneered, and bullying and squeezing were commonplace.
Zhu Shouqian is not easy to mess with, and often touches him with some soft nails. Seeing that Zhu Fan was rude in front of him, he snorted coldly and said, "You saw the car from a distance, don't you know that the eight thorns you bought are also here?" Second uncle, is the whip wound on your body healed? ”
Zhu Fan was chased and whipped by his father, Emperor Hongwu, because he was rude to the eight thorns bought by the prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and he couldn't get out of bed for three days. Zhu Shouqian's words poked Zhu Zhang's scar that had not yet healed, and he was about to teach this eldest nephew a lesson, Deng Ming saw that his sweetheart was teased by his nephew, and his anger became even more fierce, so he simply waved the horsewhip in his hand and whipped it in the direction of Zhu Shouqian!
This change came too quickly, Zhu Shouqian didn't have time to dodge, seeing that a hibiscus noodle was about to be torn into a beauty face, a Huanghuali chair flew from the left side and stopped in front of him, blocking the horsewhip.
This chair was thrown out by Yao Miaoyi, Deng Ming's whip was slightly wrapped around the leg of the chair, and he simply abandoned the horsewhip and sneered: "Okay, brother and sister work together, and its benefits are gold." Ten years have passed, and your cousins are the same as before. This Yao girl is pretending to have amnesia, otherwise she would not have this reaction. What's wrong? If you don't do it, you have to be a market doctor, what are you hiding? ”
Yao Miaoyi secretly regretted that she was impulsive, but the moment she saw Zhu Shouqian being bullied just now, she really couldn't stand by and watch.
