At night, Ye Sheng fried the medicine in the kitchen and brought it to Jiang Wan's room. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this moment, the General's Mansion is extremely quiet, perhaps because there is only one old Han Tou left, and there are no lights in the mansion. When I looked up, I saw a deep and dark place, like another pure land against the backdrop of eternal night.

Spring is about to begin, but the night breeze in Kyoto is still cold, and there is a slight cool and thin material blowing on the body.

Ye Sheng didn't knock on the door, and when he walked to the room, he stretched out his hand and pushed the door inside. Jiang Wan seemed to have just finished bathing, her cheeks were still a little bright, and she only had a splendid robe on her body, leaning on a soft pillow with a warm quilt. The charcoal stove not far from the couch had long since gone out, and it was as gray and black as crumbs.

She glanced at it and saw that she was holding a book and reading it carefully, and the book was still well preserved and as neat as new.

Knowing that Ye Sheng came in, Jiang Wan didn't raise her eyelids, her eyes moved to a sentence, and she slowly read out in her mouth: "'Falling off the cliff to defend it, the boulder is in danger, if it falls', I looked at this sentence, and I unconsciously remembered the cold cliff valley in my mind. She put down the book, raised her eyes and smiled faintly, "Ye Sheng, do you remember?" ”

Ye Sheng closed the door with his backhand, stepped forward and handed her the medicine bowl, and turned the charcoal stove with tongs on his low side. Mars immediately rekindled, and the warmth came to the face. This was the first time Jiang Wan took the initiative to talk to her about Liansi, but she didn't know what expression to put on to face her. I had to bow my head lightly and let out a "hmm".

Jiang Wan looked up at the decoction in her hand for a moment, hooked her lips, raised her head and drank it all, and continued casually: "You are so smart, you must have guessed why I rashly assassinated the Sect Master of the Lotus Division at that time. Her voice fell, and her sparkling apricot eyes stared on Ye Sheng's face, "Ye Sheng, I blame you a little." If it weren't for you, Guo Qi's stupid big man would not have been born with demons, and he didn't get out of the last illusion, but lost his life because of it. Although I know in my heart that this is not your fault at all, I am also an ordinary man, and it is always difficult to accept it for a while. I couldn't think about it the other day, and I didn't want to open my eyes even when I woke up, but now I figured it out. Today, I will speak to you without reservation, with the intention of bridging the barrier. If you are really angry at my careful eye for not measuring, you can blame me again! ”

Her smile dissipated gloom and sorrow, and in a trance she was still the same Jiang Wan who accompanied her in life and death in the lotus division, and was not afraid of heaven and earth, "I swear, I can't fight back, I don't scold back!" Seeing that Ye Sheng still didn't speak, she was a little anxious, threw the medicine bowl in her hand aside at will, dragged Ye Sheng's arm, and said very flatteringly: "Okay, Ah Sheng, I was wrong!" I shouldn't have acted rashly, I shouldn't have blamed you casually, and I shouldn't have ignored you for a few days! I know that you have the most kind heart, and you are protecting us every moment in the Netherworld, and you don't want anyone to die more than anyone else, but I still ......"

As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Ye Sheng with her afterglow, but saw a slight arc between the lips of the young man who should have been indifferent and cold, and immediately glared: "Okay, you, Ye Sheng!" You're not angry at all, are you! You...... Look at my jokes! In a fit of rage, she picked up the porcelain bowl in her hand and smashed it over.

Ye Sheng smiled, admired her smart demeanor, and said, "You and I have known each other for six years, and I have long regarded you as a sister, how can I not understand you?" I knew you could figure it out on your own, so I didn't open my mouth to persuade you. Guo Qi's incident is indeed an afterthought, if I had found out earlier, maybe he would not have died innocently, but I am to blame. I was angry that I was angry that you didn't care about your own life, but in the end we escaped from Renji. Misfortune lurks in the air, and it may not be a good thing to think about it carefully. Now we don't know if our traces have been discovered by Liansi, but fortunately, we are in the Imperial Capital General's Mansion, which is equivalent to stepping into half of the center of imperial power, and there is the big Buddha of Yun Shaohuang, even if they have great ability, they can't control us for a while. ”

Ye Sheng analyzed their situation at this time, and Jiang Wan also put away a playful look and nodded in agreement.

Suddenly thinking of the conversation between Ye Sheng and Yun Shaohuang on the wine table, he thought about it a few times, but he couldn't help but ask, "What did you find on the bank of the Qinshui River?" At that time, although she had an awkward relationship with Ye Sheng in her heart, her habits over the years caused her to observe Ye Sheng before speaking and doing things. If she is not mistaken, Ye Sheng's eyes changed slightly after the Spring Festival ceremony, which is very subtle, if she hadn't followed her all year round, she would never have found it! This made her a little curious, what was the thing that could surprise Ye Sheng?

"Today, Brother Pei's carriage was in the southwest near Qinshui, and the wind was blowing from the northeast, and it happened to be head-on." Ye Sheng sat on the edge of the couch, his fingers playing with the medicine bowl that was gradually getting cold, and his voice was low, "There are a few wisps of sulfur in the wind. At first, I didn't notice anything abnormal, just thought it was the dung of wild animals in the suburbs, but when the ceremony was over, everyone raised the mangshen and the spring cow to prepare for the return trip, and only then did they faintly feel that something was wrong. Now that the weather is still cold, birds and animals are extinct, where does the animal feces come from? ”

Jiang Wan's face turned cold, and she said, "Someone really wants to murder the emperor?" ”

"The high Son of Great Qin, the supreme and noble king of a country, how many people's eyes are staring at him? And how many people are working hard behind the scenes? Since he has sat on these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and has endured these splendid mountains and rivers, he also has to bear every inch of danger on his imperial land. The so-called high place is unbearable, and the more powerful the person, the more frightened he will live. Ye Sheng pursed his lips and stared, "I don't know how many people in the world want to call him a different place." Putting aside the eyes of the other two countries, look at the borders of the Great Qin. The battle between several princes for the succession was a bloody storm, and the civil and military officials were in their own camps, fighting each other and encroaching on each other. But in the end, who will go to the jade seal, and that is not up to the emperor to decide? Instead of going around like this, it is better to steam the bear-hearted leopard gall first, and then sharpen the sword and point to the sky. Anyway, the failure to seize the throne with his brother is a death, and the failure to rebel is also a death, so what is there to fear? If you are lucky, maybe you can coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes! ”

She paused, and then said: "In addition, in every dynasty, there will be people who contradict the opinions of the imperial power, it may be a certain force, it may be a certain faction, or it may be a certain gate lord, they are dissatisfied with the emperor's rule, and they have long been thinking of replacing them. It can be said that almost everyone in the world can take the emperor's life. Even the most insignificant people. If one day they form a rope, this force will surely destroy the withered and decaying boats above the water! ”

"According to you, what's so good about being an emperor? As soon as you sit in that position, you will be embattled and mourned! Jiang Wan had goosebumps all over her body when she heard this, and instantly spit on the most noble emperor in the world.

Ye Sheng withdrew his changing eyes and said with a smile: "I call it a mixed reputation. Although it is true that there are many disappointments in being the emperor, since so many people are thinking about the throne, it must have its benefits. For example, countless mountains of gold and silver, endless countries and cities, these two points alone are enough to make people all over the world salivate. ”

"What's more, being able to sit on the throne that everyone has seized is not a general incompetent. A wise person will turn the knife around him into a hidden arrow in his hand, or he will make trouble with the enemy, attack the flaws, or fight with the snipe and the clam to reap the benefits of the fisherman. But I don't know if the Great Qin Emperor, who was killed and taken in this dynasty, is he a smart person? ”

Jiang Wan nodded noncommittally, and asked again, "Then why didn't you tell Yun Shaohuang about the sulfur?" Even if they defend like an impregnable wall, they can't resist the power of gunpowder at all! ”

Ye Sheng shook his head: "I can't tell him that someone wants to use gunpowder to kill the emperor for two reasons. For one thing, the ability to use sulfur saltpeter to prepare gunpowder like this is not something that ordinary people can know. The person who acted in the Spring Festival ceremony was tantamount to doing something in front of the emperor, and this courage alone was not to be underestimated. If you think about it, the Spring Festival Ceremony is coordinated by the Ministry of Rites, assisted by Jingzhao Mansion, and supervised by order. At that time, the Holy Lord will also bring hundreds of civil and military officials to the scene in person, how dare the Ministry of Rites and Jingzhao Mansion slack off? The supervision work must be several times more rigorous than usual, but someone secretly released gunpowder without knowing anything. From this, it is enough to conclude that the Assassin was a man of great powers and a cautious man. ”

"If even the gunpowder that was not discovered by Jingzhao Mansion, which was responsible for supervising security, was discovered by Yun Shaohuang, and he went straight to heaven to hear and reported to the emperor unequivocally, wouldn't the emperor have to 'look at it differently' to this general Wei who had not been in the imperial capital for many years?"

She walked over to the table, poured a cup of tea, moistened her throat, and continued, "Well, I don't want him to be suspicious of me. ”

"Now the two of us live in his house as cousins, claiming to be his friends in Western Xinjiang. It has already attracted the attention of those unscrupulous forces who want to entrap this Wei general who has won the emperor's heart with military power. At this time, it is even more necessary to stabilize Yun Shaohuang, so that he cannot see the slightest flaw in our identity. ”

"When we first entered the Lotus Division, someone must have wiped our identities and origins clean, and now even if Yun Shaohuang wants to check, it is estimated that he will not be able to find anything. He can only trust us. But this belief is also based on the fact that we have no disagreement with Great Qin and the emperor! If I explain the matter of gunpowder today, it will make him suspicious, how can a young man who is powerless know something that even Jingzhao Mansion is not aware of? Our appearance was already strange, and now we prefer to catch up with the Spring Festival ceremony, and it is difficult to ensure that Yun Shaohuang will not connect us with the gunpowder matter. ”

"Moreover, with what I know about Yun Shaohuang these days, he is a good minister and a famous general who is extremely loyal and patriotic, so naturally he will not hide this matter from the emperor. When the emperor asked, he also expressed the doubts in his heart, and did not put our situation in a precarious position! After the words fell, she took another sip of tea, her voice was crisp, as if she had fallen into a delicate jade, "Two reasons, one is Yun Shaohuang, and the other is herself." Whether it is reasonable, public or private, I will not tell him the truth. ”

Jiang Wan was stunned when she heard this, staring at Ye Sheng's half-jade-like side face with her eyes, and she couldn't come to her senses for a while.

She, she, she...... How can you think so nuancedly? If you were an ordinary person, you would probably only be able to think of it: preventing the assassins from assassinating the emperor, this is a great achievement, and maybe you will be promoted to become rich! Then I went to the palace to receive the reward.

Of course, life or death aside.

I guess if she found out about this, she was so brainless.

Jiang Wan swallowed her saliva, suddenly looked at Ye Sheng with some admiration, and said with a smile: "Ye Sheng, you give me a little bit of your intelligence!" Obviously, we learned the art of scheming together, how can you be so good than me...... So much! God is so unfair! ”

Ye Sheng was amused by her, and quipped with crooked eyebrows: "I also want to divide you, but it's a pity that our two models don't match." I'm afraid I'll be separated from you, and I'll still be some garbage when I get to you! ”

Jiang Wan was so angry that she almost got out of bed to beat her. However, she is injured now, even if she fights, she can't beat her! After taking a few deep breaths, he lay down on the bed, covered the quilt, and said in a heavy tone: "Sleep!" ”

Ye Sheng covered his lips and smiled for a moment, extinguished the candle in the house, and went back to his room.

Today's worries about peeling off the cocoon made her feel a little weak and tired, as soon as she touched the pillow, a thick sleepiness immediately hit, and she breathed evenly into a dream after half an hour.
