The memories were suddenly interrupted, and the consciousness gradually became clearer, and most of the cold poison on his body was gone. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Shangguan Yuntian walked out of Qingyun Pavilion, and the sound of beating people came from outside the mansion, and it was already four watches. He stood with his hands in his hands under the bright moonlight, and there was an indescribable loneliness in his heart.
At the beginning, he worked hard to send Jiang Wanluo into the General's Mansion to serve as a detailed work of the Jiuxuan Palace, and forcibly ordered her to marry Wen Changge as his wife, the original intention was not to use the military talisman to save her life with the help of the general's mansion, so he kept telling Wanluo that without his own orders, he should not look for the military talisman without authorization.
He didn't want Jiang Wanluo to be an obedient chess piece, he even hoped that she could really have feelings for Wen Changge, so that Jiang Wanluo could get rid of Jiuxuan Palace's control over him without any worries, marry like an ordinary daughter's family, go into the kitchen for three days, wash her hands and make soup. With the trust of the General's Mansion and Wen Changge's protection, even if Madame Jin wanted to kill her, it would not be easy.
But now, Mrs. Jin has realized that her love for Wanluo has never changed, and now only by finding the talisman in Wen Chongxiao's hand as soon as possible can she end everything in front of her as soon as possible.
Since the murder, the guard-taking of the General's Mansion has never been relaxed. The guards who patrolled the night changed one after another, and one by one they made their eyes bigger, and they had the posture of not even letting a fly fly in, but they were still successfully dodged by Shangguan Yuntian, who was very good at light skills.
Shangguan Yuntian was wearing a night robe and a face towel covering his face, and he sneaked into Wen Chongxiao's study without much effort, this was the third time he had visited the general's mansion at night.
The first two visits had yielded nothing, and this one should be no exception, but he still wanted to try his luck.
Behind the bookshelves, bookcases, couches, bedding, and calligraphy and paintings on the walls, I searched almost everywhere, but still found nothing.
"There are assassins, seal the study and arrest people!" Wen Chongxiao's voice suddenly came from outside the study.
Shangguan Yuntian raised his head, and the sudden fire light in the dark night pierced him a little unable to open his eyes.
Wen Chongxiao stood on one side of the study, the corners of his mouth showed a little smugness, and shouted inside: "Who are you, how many times have you come to the General's Mansion in the middle of the night to be a guest?" Did you kill a girl in my house? If you know each other, you will come out by yourself, otherwise the general's arrows will not grow eyes. ”
As soon as the words fell, the second young master Wen Changchu had already led dozens of archers towards the main entrance of the study.
Shangguan Yuntian saw that he had been ambushed, and now there was no other way than to break through, so he unsheathed his sword and broke out of the window.
Outside the study, arrows rained down, Shangguan Yuntian dodged while using the sword in his hand to block the arrows that kept flying towards him, but the cold poison on his body did not completely fade, and he couldn't use all his strength, and his right arm was still hit by Wen Changchu, who found the opportunity, with an arrow in the chaos.
Seeing that the assassin was hit by an arrow and his vitality was greatly damaged, Wen Chongxiao immediately flew up and struck a fatal palm head-on at Shangguan Yuntian.
Shangguan Yuntian saw that he couldn't dodge, but suddenly saw a flying knife flying towards Wen Chongxiao, if he hadn't dodged in time, he would definitely have been pierced through the throat.
When Wen Chongxiao came back to his senses, he was shocked to see that the assassin who had been hit by the arrow had been rescued by another man in black who had just used a flying knife on him.
"Dad, are you alright?" Wen Changchu saw that his father was almost killed, and he didn't care about chasing after the man in black, so he immediately stepped forward to check.
"I'm fine." Wen Chongxiao frowned, leaned over and picked up the flying knife left on the ground, looked at it carefully for a moment, and then handed it to Chang Chu and said, "Look at this." ”
"It's exactly the same as the throwing knife that killed Ruyi." Chang Chu's face also flashed a little surprised, "According to my father's opinion, will those two people be accomplices?" ”
Wen Chongxiao shook his head thoughtfully, "Yes and no." ”
The man in black helped Shangguan Yuntian all the way back to Qingyun Pavilion and asked him to sit down on a chair before taking off his veil.
Shangguan Yuntian took a breath of relief, pulled out the arrow that pierced his shoulder, threw it on the ground, and looked up at him: "Qing Yu, you took the liberty to save me, aren't you afraid of arousing the suspicion of the General's Mansion?" ”
Qing Yu took out a wooden box from the dark compartment, which contained various colorful small bottles, which were full of medicinal powder for sword wounds.
While treating Shangguan Yuntian's wounds, he said unhurriedly: "Wen Changchu has been suspicious of me for a long time, and he deliberately tested me, but I have successfully resolved it, and now in his eyes, I am just a scholar who can't do any effort, and tonight's incident will not suspect me." ”
Shangguan Yuntian didn't ask about the details, looked at the sky that had revealed the white belly of the fish, and said slowly: "Is she okay?" ”
Qing Yu's tone was a little impatient, and said, "She hurt the young master so badly, why can't the young master let her go?" I did such a thing as visiting the general's mansion overnight, but fortunately, my subordinates arrived in time, otherwise you would definitely be caught by Wen Chongxiao. ”
Shangguan Yuntian smiled faintly, "If one day, I betray the palace master, which side will you stand on." ”
Qing Yu's hand, which was bandaging him, paused slightly, and did not answer him directly, "Young master, you have no way out, now only by quickly finding that talisman will the problem in front of you be solved." ”
After bandaging the wound and carefully putting the wooden box back in its place, looking at Shangguan Yuntian's stunned appearance, Qing Yu still couldn't help but sigh and said: "Don't worry, she is very good, although she is pretending to be married, but I look at the third young master of the Wen family and she is quite attentive." ”
Shangguan Yuntian nodded, not knowing whether to be happy or sad, got up and said, "It's about to dawn, you go back, I should also enter the palace and go to court." ”

General's Mansion, Qingyun Pavilion.
Jiang Wanluo didn't know what happened in the house last night, and after getting up, Ding Yu waited for her to freshen up, and then went to the Changge room for breakfast.
Pushing open the door, he saw that there was only a table full of hot food in the room, but there was no figure of Changge, so he asked Ding Yudao: "You got up early, can you see the third young master?" ”
Ding Yu said with a smile: "The third young master took Xiao Ran out of the house early in the morning, saying that he was preparing for the opening of the porridge shop, and deliberately told the slave maid not to wake up my sister in a hurry and let you sleep for a while." ”
Jiang Wanluo pulled Ding Yuyi and sat down at the table, and said, "It's okay if he's not there, let's eat together." ”
Seeing this, Ding Yu hurriedly waved his hand: "How can this work, it is not in accordance with the rules, how can there be a reason for slaves and maids to eat together with their masters." ”
"What kind of master and slave, my sister didn't let you call it for nothing." Jiang Wanluo said, and pressed her on the stool with a smile, "In the future, in front of the old lady, we can just pretend, when there are only the two of us, there is no need to be formal." ”
Ding Yu sat on the stool a little helplessly, and said after a while: "Sister, Yu'er must have accumulated virtue from her ancestors when she met you and the third young master, and you are really good to me." ”
Jiang Wanluo handed her a pair of chopsticks and said with a smile: "It's not about accumulating virtue, it's fate." You just said Yu'er, this name sounds much closer, I'll call you Yu'er in the future. ”
Ding Yu nodded again and again, "My sister can call it whatever she says." ”
The two were talking, but they heard the little girl outside the door report: "Third young grandmother, Mrs. Lin is here." ”
