Chapter 36: Uncle Dumb
"Miss Protection!" Dozens of guards quickly surrounded Shen Qiwu and Huan'er, and they drew their swords with their swords, their expressions serious and indifferent. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Only from the assassination of the prince at the poetry meeting in the capital, Shen Fuguo was concerned about Shen Qiwu's safety, although the goal of the Jin people has always been the prince Zhao Mu, but they also have to guard against it.
Shen Qiwu will become the crown princess, and even in the future, if nothing else, she will become the master of the harem.
No one knows if the people of the Jin Kingdom will be mad, and if the assassination of the prince fails, they will instead focus on Shen Qiwu.
These dozen or so guards were rewarded to Shen Fuguo by the emperor back then, all of them were masters of the Great Internal and had good martial arts, and now they were arranged by Shen Fuguo to protect Shen Qiwu, which shows the worry in Shen Fuguo's heart.
The Assassins of the Kingdom of Jin are still alive, and no one knows where they are hiding.
Anyone who appeared in this mountain and appeared in front of Shen Qiwu would be treated by these guards.
This is an ordinary old man dressed in black, he is standing not far away and looking at this side, holding a few dry with one hand, the cold rain falls on his shoulders, he doesn't notice it at all, and his white temples are a little dazzling.
"Who are you?" Shen Qiwu always felt that someone was watching her, and the feeling in her heart told her that it was this strange old man.
The old man moved, and he walked towards this side with a blank face. The old man only had a glowing look in his eyes to tell others that he was still a living man and not a walking corpse.
He walked slowly, with heavy steps, but with each step he took was as light as stepping on cotton.
The guards became nervous, and the hand holding the saber involuntarily raised, which was a signal to warn the old man not to come any closer.
They are all from the Imperial Palace, and they are martial arts masters carefully selected by His Majesty the Emperor, who have followed the emperor on the battlefield, and they are even more contaminated with a strong murderous aura.
But at this moment, the old man did not stop, even if the momentum exuded by these guards made Chunyu tilt towards it.
The guards were a little nervous, for they all saw that the old man was extraordinary, and every step the old man took was like a pinch in their hearts, and they wanted to suffocate.
"If we don't stop, we're going to make a move!" This time, the guard who led the escort Shen Qiwu was named Gu Feng, who was the emperor's personal guard in his early years and was responsible for the security of the Inner Palace. Although he has left the palace now, his martial arts have not been pulled down, and he has even gone further than he is in the palace.
But he still didn't have confidence, he felt a huge pressure like a mountain on the old man, he held the cold blade of the sword, and his hand shook unconsciously.
"You are Miss's daughter Shen Qiwu?" The old man finally stopped, perhaps not wanting to get close to the cold sword, and the old man was only a few steps away from them.
Shen Qiwu was stunned for a moment, feeling a little strange, she looked at the old man and asked, "Do you know my mother?" ”
The old man's hair was gradually drenched by the rain, and he gently wiped the blur from the corners of his eyes, perhaps to see more clearly.
"If your mother is Wang Ying, then I do know you."
The old man's words shocked Shen Qiwu's heart, thinking that he really didn't guess wrong, this old man really came to the mountain to worship his mother Wang Ying, and the old man had been following them since they went up the mountain.
"You're here to worship your mother, too?" Shen Qiwu motioned for the guards to put down their swords, she felt that the old man was not malicious, and then asked in a relaxed tone.
The old man glanced at her, then moved his gaze to the lonely tomb, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, and he whispered softly, "I'm here to bring wine to Miss." ”
There was a wine jug and a short sword pinned to him, he took off the wine jug and walked slowly to Wang Ying's tomb.
At this time, the guards still did not dare to let their guard down, even if the old man passed by them without any evil intentions, and their hand holding the sword did not let go.
Shen Qiwu was not afraid, she was also standing in front of her mother's grave, very close to the old man. It's not because she's bold, it's that she does feel a taste of closeness in the old man.
He called Shen Qiwu's mother Wang Ying as a young lady, so naturally she was her mother's family before her death. It's just strange that Shen Qiwu is also the first time to see this mysterious old man.
Huan'er hid behind Shen Qiwu, holding an umbrella in one hand and pulling the corner of Shen Qiwu's clothes with the other, signaling her to stay away from the old man.
"Mother, do you like to drink?" Shen Qiwu and the old man stood side by side, and she couldn't help but want to know what kind of woman her mother was from the old man's mouth.
The old man glanced at her, he raised his hand and raised the wine jug in his hand, his wrinkled face showed a smile, he smiled and said, "Miss, she is a heroine among women, naturally she is not happy without wine, and she can't live without wine for a day." ”
The old man's tone was full of bitterness, and although he said it with a smile, it made people involuntarily fall into his memories of the past.
He paused and continued, "I am a slave saved by Miss, you can call me Uncle Dumb. ”
Dumb uncle? It's not that the dumb person is called a dumb uncle, Shen Qiwu didn't understand.
Shen Qiwu then thought for a while and said, "Why am I seeing Uncle Dumb for the first time?" ”
It was the question on her mind, and the answer she wanted to know. Since he was an old man beside his mother, why didn't he stay in the Shen Mansion, and why did he only appear in front of Shen Qiwu today?
This dumb uncle seems to have a lot of secrets on his body.
"Because I've been chasing someone." Uncle Mute spoke quietly, and he opened the flask and took a sip.
"Hunt whom?" Shen Qiwu felt as if he had touched something, the tip of the iceberg.
Uncle Dumb frowned, his eyes narrowed, but despite this, Shen Qiwu could still see the killing intent hidden in his eyes, which made people feel cold.
"Miyane!" Almost gritted teeth and squeezed out.
"Why should you hunt him down?" Shen Qiwu was as problematic as a curious baby, she didn't know if the dumb uncle would tell her the truth, but she still had to ask.
Because it seems to have a lot to do with her mother, and she is very curious about her mother's affairs.
Uncle Dumb did not answer the question immediately, he took the flask and put the spit down, and sprinkled a lot of wine, which dripped on the stone tablet and soaked into the earth with the rain, and he spoke, "Because the young lady has a very important item that he has snatched." ”
"I swore to Miss that I would get it back." The dumb uncle said the reason, but it made Shen Qiwu smile bitterly.
What is it that is important that makes my mother so obsessed? Shen Qiwu frowned, she waited for the dumb uncle to continue answering.
"Miss also died at the hands of Gong Ni."
"What?" Shen Qiwu's pupils shrank imperceptibly.
