Chapter 80: Chop
"No one is catching up." Lu Zhiyao glanced at the expression on Yudie's face, whispered, and then sat on the ground. Wiping the blood stains on the dagger, Lu Zhiyao looked at the blood marks on his hand that had been dried up again, and frowned.
Yudie stood stiffly aside, and after a long while, after no one really chased after her, she relaxed a little. Looking at Lu Zhiyao intently, Yudie didn't know if she really killed someone, and if so, who would kill her?
"Miss, let's go back quickly."
"Not gasping?" Lu Zhiyao raised his head and looked at Yudie with a smile. Seeing that Yudie nodded, Lu Zhiyao slowly stood up, inserted the dagger into her waist, and said to Yudie in a low voice: "It's not too early, I'll take you away." ”
The experience when she came out made Yudie reflexively hug Lu Zhiyao's arm after hearing Lu Zhiyao's words. The body moved rapidly, and Yu Die did not have the same fear as before, on the contrary, there was a novelty in her heart. I never knew that it turned out that people who could work lightly and could fly on the wall felt this way, Yudie thought nonsense all the way, until Lu Zhiyao took her back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
As soon as Wanyue saw the two of them enter the house, she immediately jumped up from the stool and rushed to the two of them. His eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of Lu Zhiyao's bloodstained hand, and Wanyue opened her mouth and cleverly went to fetch water. After Lu Zhiyao washed his hands, Wan Yue asked in a low voice, "Miss, can you take me with you next time you go out?" ”
Wanyue's expectant eyes made Lu Zhiyao laugh. "You're much bolder than Yudie, okay, if there's still a chance, I'll take you there."
Yudie listened to Lu Zhiyao's words, pursed her lips embarrassedly, and lowered her head. Lu Zhiyao took off his new clothes, threw them into Yudie's hand, and ordered: "Burn it, don't let people see it." ”
Yudie nodded again and again and did what Lu Zhiyao ordered. Wanyue stayed in the house, staying by Lu Zhiyao's side, thinking for a long time, she still couldn't help asking, "Miss, are you going to kill the bad guys?" ”
"Yes, bad guys." Lu Zhiyao nodded firmly and replied: "Heinous bad guys." Wanyue, I'm going to rest, and the rain butterfly will come back in a while, and you guys will be early. ”
Lu Zhiyao smiled at Wanyue and entered the back room. Although Wanyue was full of questions, she didn't seem to want to say anything more when she saw that the young lady looked like this, so she honestly shut up.
Lu Zhiyao was lying on the bed tossing and turning, thinking that he would be happier if he killed one. But a similar feeling of joy did not arise at all. Perhaps, it wasn't them who I wanted to kill the most, so that's why they did this? Lu Zhiyao muttered to himself and asked himself in his heart.
The killing of the prisoner, just as Lu Zhiyao thought before, did not cause any waves. And Nangong Lingfeng's return made the entire capital tremble.
The emperor specially held a banquet for Nangong Lingfeng, and Lu Yuanzheng seemed to be very busy, usually going out in the morning and not coming back for a whole day. Lu Yuanzheng is not in the house, and Lu Zhiyao is not like before, there are Lu Zhiqing and Ye Lianrong to find trouble, so her life is extraordinarily comfortable.
On this day, Lu Zhiyao had nothing to do, so he took the maid for a walk in the house. A few family members slowly came from a distance, and they kept chatting about something. Lu Zhiyao listened carefully, and occasionally heard the word "dead", so when they walked up to her and stopped, Lu Zhiyao asked straight to the point, "What were you talking about just now?" ”
"Miss, we just came back from outside, and there seems to be a vendor on the other side of the street who was beaten to death by the government."
"People from the government?" Lu Zhiyao raised his eyebrows, and he didn't think there was anything unusual. Even if the poor people are innocent and killed, there are a few who can get an explanation. "You saw it with your own eyes?"
"No, the man was dead when we arrived, and I heard that it seems that he was killed by a soldier who came back from abroad."
Isn't that Nangong Lingfeng's person? Lu Zhiyao smiled silently, waved his hand and let the family go. It is very common for dogs to fight people. However, this Nangong General has just come back, and this kind of thing happened. Whether it was intentional or unintentional, Lu Zhiyao felt that it was difficult to say.
Nangong Lingfeng's feast, many people were present. However, Lin Yinan, one of the invitees, did not show up. Under the pretext of being unwell, Lin Yinan lay comfortably on the rocking chair, basking in the sun, thinking about what Lu Zhiyao said before.
The feast began in the afternoon and ended late at night. Nangong Lingfeng knelt on one knee on the ground, and the phrase "Weichen sees the queen" came out of his mouth, making Nangong Liuxi, who was sitting in the chair, smile softly.
"There are no outsiders, brother, hurry up!"
Nangong Liuxi hurriedly spoke, and after Nangong Lingfeng sat down, Nangong Liuxi asked in a low voice, "Brother will come back this time, how long will you stay?" ”
"It's almost a month, and my father wants me to discuss something with the emperor."
It is not appropriate for women to participate in national affairs, and Nangong Liuxi, who is the queen, naturally knows this, so she didn't ask what it was. "It's good to be back, it's been a long time since I've seen you, and I don't know when I'll see my father again. I heard the emperor say that it seems that he has prepared a reward for you, and I estimate that you will be sent to the palace tomorrow. ”
"The emperor is like this to me, not only because my father and I are stationed on the frontier, I think it is more because of the queen." Nangong Ling Feng smiled slightly, he was not interested in the reward that Nangong Liu Xi said. "If the emperor really wants to reward our Nangong family, it is better to hand over all the military power of the Xia family to our family."
"Brother, you can't talk nonsense." Nangong Liuxi's eyes flashed, and he paused when he picked up the teacup.
The corners of Nangong Lingfeng's mouth kept rising slightly, Nangong Liuxi didn't want to say this, so he wouldn't say it. "Okay, don't say it. Then the gifts I gave to the queen and the crown prince, I wonder if you can receive them? ”
"Gifts?" Nangong Liuxi looked surprised, and then shook his head in confusion. "What did my brother bring back to us? I didn't receive it. ”
"Those two people, two lives, is the queen ...... Don't know what to do? ”
As soon as Nangong Lingfeng's words fell, the teacup in Nangong Liuxi's hand instantly fell to the ground. Nangong Liuxi's eyes widened, looking at Nangong Lingfeng, she was stunned for a long time before she reflected. "Brother is saying, Captain...... Did you send someone to kill you? ”
"Yes, that's right." Nangong Lingfeng nodded happily, "I thought the queen would guess." ”
"How can I guess! I even thought of Mu Wangye, but I didn't think of you. Nangong Liuxi sighed heavily, "I said brother, this matter is big enough, and the emperor even sent someone to investigate." Why didn't you give me a message in advance? ”
"Did the emperor find any clues? It's not nothing, so the queen and the crown prince should not know anything. Nangong Ling Feng looked at Nangong Liu Xi meaningfully, "I just want to give the Eighth Prince a warning first, if he wants to grab something from the Crown Prince, then the people around him will definitely leave him one by one." ”
"That being said, my brother must be careful. I always feel that Lin Yinan is not much different from before during this time. ”
"Oh? What's the difference? Nangong Lingfeng asked curiously, and after listening to Nangong Liuxi's words, Nangong Lingfeng sneered and smiled. I think it's the queen who is too careful, I will pay close attention to him this month, if it is really as the queen said, if he has this thought, then it is better to settle it directly, anyway, he will not live long. ”
"We'll talk about that later. My brother is tired from running all the way, so let's go back today. ”
Nangong Liuxi sent Nangong Lingfeng away, recalling that Nangong Lingfeng said that he sent someone to kill He Gusong, and Nangong Liuxi was a little uneasy. If this is discovered, it will be difficult......
If Lu Zhiyao hadn't seen it with her own eyes, if she just relied on her imagination, I am afraid that she would never have been able to imagine how arrogant and domineering the people under Nangong Ling Feng were led by him.
The overturned stalls, the fruits scattered all over the ground and the vendors who were kicked to the ground, Lu Zhi stood far away, watching intently, except for a wry smile, she couldn't say anything.
"Do you see how scared he pees his pants?"
"Ha Lu Ha, I saw it, I saw it! We haven't been back for a while, and the people in this capital are a lot less courageous! ”
"Don't look at who this capital was guarded before. With those people in the Xia family soft bones, what do you want to do here? ”
Five or six people dressed in military uniforms slowly passed in front of Lu Zhiyao. Lu Zhiyao had never seen them before, and he didn't want to get himself into trouble without incident. However, when she heard them talk about the Xia family and said that Xia Zhenkun was innocent of death, Lu Zhiyao couldn't calm down.
Lu Zhiyao ignored the obstruction of Xuanyue and Yudie, and took two steps forward and stretched out his hand to stop a few people.
"What are you doing?" The person in the middle glanced up and down at Lu Zhiyao and asked sharply.
"What did you just say? Say it again. Lu Zhiyao's eyes were cold, and the anger in his heart was constantly churning.
Several people looked at each other, and they didn't know which words they said that attracted this woman. "What did I say? Even if I say it, what's your business? Get out, get out! The man didn't say a word, he reached out to push Lu Zhiyao, thinking that she was in the way.
Lu Zhiyao didn't dodge or dodge, when the man's hand reached over, he pulled it, and then with a little force, he broke his wrist.
"Xia Zhenkun's three words, I can't make you miscellaneous people talk about it and make fun of it!" Lu Zhiyao endured, trying to control his emotions. "Apologize, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind to you!"
