After the autumn, according to the emperor's plan before leaving, two prisoners were proposed from the Xingbu prison, one was Wang Youqi and the other was Yan Ben. There is another www.biquge.info that is, at the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother, the three of them were pressed to the entrance of the vegetable market and executed the beheading. For a time, the people cheered and applauded.

At the end of the cells of the penal department, there were several cells, which were dark, there were not even windows, and there were special places for felons. And in the felony cell, one person is unkempt, bearded, sloppy, and squatting weakly in the corner. Because he had not touched the water for a long time, the weather was hot, and there was a foul smell on his body, and even the jailers who passed by had to cover their noses and walk quickly in disgust.

That night, in the cell of the penal department where felons were held, a figure wearing a cloak walked in. Because the cloak was so wide that it covered all of her face, no one could see it. The man, led by the jailer, came to the door of the cell, and when he was sure that it was the person she was looking for, he took out a large bag of gold from his cuff and handed it to the jailer. The jailer took it, swiped it in his hand, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and secretly thought that it seemed to be a lot of weight, so he said with a smile: "There can only be time for half a stick of incense." ”

After the jailer left, the man took off the hat on his head, revealing a beautiful face, and shouted in a dumb voice: "Brother Tong......"

When the people in the cell heard this, they were shocked and sat up in disbelief, and when they saw the people outside the cell, they were sure that they were not hallucinating, because the owner of the longing voice was really standing in front of them. He hurriedly stood up and ran over and grabbed her hand. "Shizuchi?"

Jing choked up, this place actually tortured him like this. "Brother Tong, you have suffered."

"To see you, no matter how much you suffer, it's worth it." Liu Tong looked behind her and said worriedly: "It's too dangerous for you to come over like this, go back quickly!" ”

She shook her head, "Don't worry! No one will know, those jailers only know money, they don't meddle with things. ”

Liu Tong nodded, then shook his head again, and said, "Where is the Queen Mother?" ”

"The Queen Mother went to Daxiangguo Temple to worship the Buddha in the past two days, and I came here while she was away. Sorry to keep you waiting so long. ”

Liu Tong shook his head, "Soon, I'm willing to wait as long as I want." By the way, how do you know I'm locked up here? ”

Jing Yi brushed away the messy hair on his forehead and burst into tears. "It was the Lord who sent me to tell me that you are already in a quagmire, and I only found out two days ago. The emperor didn't even spread the news. ”

Speaking of being arrested, Liu Tong sat weakly on the ground. He's a smart man, and he doesn't know why he's been caught. "Emperor Zhou is a cautious person. What about the other brothers? ”

Jing Yi squatted down, bowed his head and said, "Except for some key people, everyone else ...... By the way, why did you get caught? ”

"I have been betrayed, or rather, abandoned by the Lord?"

"Lord, what does it have to do with Lord?"

Liu Tong looked up at the beams of the roof and said sarcastically: "Who we are are just a chess piece on the chessboard of the master, a bait used to tempt others to be fooled." The decision is in his hands, and he says to give it up. ”

"I don't understand."

In fact, it's good not to understand, but it's even more uncomfortable to understand it. "I think that the emperor of Zhou must solve us before he goes on the expedition, otherwise his backyard will be unstable, and how can he go to the front line with peace of mind."

Only then did Jing Yi understand, "So the lord will plan and throw you and some brothers out, so that the emperor thinks that there are no more spies in the city of Tokyo." But the Lord preserves the elite strength in order to strike a fatal blow at the right time. I wondered, how did we be exposed when we have been invisible for so long and have deep roots? ”

Liu Tong didn't speak, and acquiesced to her statement. Otherwise, how could Yetian defect, even if he was caught, the lord did not kill him halfway, probably to keep him to confuse Emperor Zhou!

Jingyi also sat on the ground, looking at the darkness above his head, and said helplessly: "We people, working desperately on the cusp of the knife, for what, is it just like a tool that has no meaning to exist?" ”

"What's the use of talking about that now. By the way, Emperor Zhou mobilized half of the grain and grass from various states and counties to be transported to the front. ”

Jing Yi was puzzled, and half of the grain and grass were transported, so what did the people eat in autumn and winter? "It can't be, right? Does the Lord know about this? ”

Liu Tong sighed and said, "This matter is true, and it should be told to me hidden in the Zhou Dynasty." I think the Lord must know that, too! ”

"If Emperor Zhou transfers half of the grain and grass, will the lord wave his troops south and take the opportunity to attack Zhou?"

Liu Tong sneered: "With the character of the Lord, how could he let it go when he learned of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I'm afraid I'm borrowing troops from Da Liao now, discussing how to fight the fastest and most cost-effective! ”

Jing nodded a little and said, "By the way, you just talked about Neiying?" Who should this be? ”

Liu Tong wanted to say who he was, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed hard. Yetian already knew that she was a spy of the Northern Han Dynasty, but she didn't find out in person, I'm afraid she left a face. If you tell her at this moment, with her character, she will definitely confront Yetian, and Yetian will probably not keep her at that time. Then he said: "Jingyi, this person, you still don't want to know. ”

"Why?"

"To keep you safe. Jingyi, I can only tell you that he is in a high position, and he is a very high martial arts person, smart and ruthless. Sometimes I wonder why the Lord would ask for the cooperation of people like him, who is not a man to control. ”

Jing Yi wondered, and when it came to it, he didn't say who this inner should be. "How can the Lord's mind be so easy to guess, what is the point if he is looking for everyone who is as easy to control as we are?"

They were originally children with families and parents, but they were taken away when they went out and taken by the Lord to a secret place, where they trained, studied, practiced martial arts, killed people, and collected information day and night. The first person they killed was their own companion. There, they can't have feelings, they can't speak, and they can't be soft-hearted. No one dared to flee, because if they did, their families would be wiped out.

More than ten or twenty years have passed, in fact, their impression of their family has long been blurred, and they don't know whether they are alive or dead, but they still have some illusions in their hearts. They fantasize that as long as they listen to the Lord and do good things for Him, their parents will be able to live. Jingyi suddenly thought of something, so he said: "Brother Tong, there is something that I think is very strange, the day before the emperor set out on the expedition, that is, on the night of the queen mother's birthday banquet, a group of assassins came. ”

"Assassins? Are we people? ”

Jingyi shook his head and said, "No, there are about twenty people, and their goal is very clear, to assassinate the emperor." But there was always something strange about the Assassin that he couldn't explain. ”

"Strange?"

"yes, that's weird." Jing Yi thought for a while, and then said: "Generally, assassins kill whoever they see, but those assassins only block others except for the emperor, and do not kill them, will there be such a killer in the world?" ”

Liu Tong thought for a while and said, "Maybe other countries sent killers over, but it seems that they missed." ”

"That's right, Emperor Zhou didn't die. But by mistake, Concubine Li was hurt. Shizuichi recounted the assassination process from beginning to end, including the assassin's demilition.

After hearing this, Liu Tong raised his eyebrows and said, "In this way, there must be someone in the palace who is answering them." Otherwise, more than 20 people are not a small number, and they appear in the palace in a grand manner without being discovered. Didn't you notice anything out of the ordinary either? ”

Jingyi shook his head and said: "This is my strange place, usually I will know that there is a disturbance in the palace, but this time, I really can't see any signs at all, and I can't find it." Hey, there is no peace outside the palace, and there is no peace inside the palace. Now there is an unidentified assassin hiding in the palace, which is really terrifying. ”

Liu Tong suddenly said in a deep voice: "Jingyi, you escape!" ”

These words did not cause Jing Yi to be shocked, such an idea, everyone in that secret place had it, but no one dared to take action, and said with a smile: "Hehe, under the whole world, it is not the king's land, where can I escape to?" Even if you escape from the palace, you can't escape from the palm of the Lord, it's not that no one has escaped before, but what is the fate of those people, either scraped alive or put in the oil pot, I'm afraid that even if you die, you can't be reincarnated. What's more, he won't let go of our loved ones"

Liu Tong turned his head and said solemnly: "No, Jingyi, you can do it." There is a pharmacy called Li Ji in the south of the city, you go to the doctor there, and he will find a way to let you leave. From now on, change your face and be a new person. ”

Jing Yi turned his head to look at him and said with a smile: "Brother Tong, you are here, I will not go anywhere." ”

"Jingyi, listen to me, you have to go. Emperor Zhou will find out about you sooner or later, and your situation is very dangerous. ”

"It's been so many years, and if you want to find it, you have already discovered it. Besides, even if you find out, it's a big deal to die, but you will be liberated. ”

"No, you ......"

The two were arguing when a jailer came in and reminded, "Alas, the time is up. ”

Shizuichi hurriedly put his hat on and turned around so that the jailer would not see his face. stood up and said coldly: "Got it, let's go." Wait for me at the door, and I'll say two more words, just two more. ”

Although the jailer was impatient, for the sake of the amount of silver just now, he had to give in, "Hurry up, don't make it difficult for us." With that, he turned around, stepped back a few meters, and waited at the door.

Liu Tong grabbed her hand and said earnestly: "Jingyi, you listen to me, you must go." ”

"Brother Tong, let's talk about this later!" Jing said as he took out a small porcelain vase from his cuff, put it in Liu Tong's hand, and said in a low voice: "Brother Tong, I'm sorry, that's all I can help you." ”

Liu Tong looked at the small sky-blue porcelain vase in his hand, and his eyes couldn't help but darken. This is their rule, once arrested, they can only choose such an ending, so as not to suffer some flesh and skin. "Jingyi, if there is an afterlife......"

Shizuichi interrupted him, "If there really is an afterlife, I don't want to be a human anymore, I'd rather be a butterfly, flying freely in the bushes." With that, he turned around and disappeared from his sight.

It's better to be a butterfly than to be a human. If Jingyi is a butterfly in the next life, then he will turn into a blooming white lotus, waiting for her to stay for an instant. In their lives, they have killed too many people, and their hands and feet have long been unclean, and God will definitely punish them. Is it fortunate or unfortunate to die at the hands of someone you love?

As soon as Shizuchi walked out of the prison, the night breeze blew on her face, bringing bursts of pain. Reaching out and wiping his face, he realized that he had burst into tears at some point. They have loved each other and had good memories, but those good memories are also the most painful memories. Now that he is free, she should be happy, she should laugh.

In the distance, a man who was also wearing a cloak walked up to Jingyi with a palace lamp, looking at her tearful and smiling at the same time. worried: "Niangniang, you are crying." ”

Shizuichi put down his hand, gathered the cloak on his body, took a deep breath, slowly put away the smile on his face, and said as he walked down the steps, "Yes, I haven't tasted tears for a long time." Ah Xiang, I'm so tired! ”

"If Niangniang is tired, go back and rest, accompanied by Ah Xiang."

A helpless smile appeared at the corner of Jingyi's mouth, "I still have you with me, but who does he have with him?" "Huangquan Road is slow, and the lonely shadow is alone. But on the side of the bridge, was he willing to drink the bowl of Meng Po soup and forget her?

Ah Xiang walked down the steps with his hand on his hand, and said softly: "The master is accompanied by me, and he is accompanied by the little son." The master went back and rested well, and it will be fine after tonight. ”

Jing Yi looked at the waning moon in the sky, Ah Xiang didn't say anything, she had almost forgotten that there was such a person. That child, if he is still alive, is now at the age of marriage! "Rest at night, but tomorrow at dawn, I have to intrigue again, such a day, when is the end!"

Ah Xiang was speechless, she didn't know when it would be a head.

"Ah Xiang, you go to the backup ceremony, and send it to the Jade Immortal Palace tomorrow!"

"Niangniang, Concubine Liniang has been awake for so long, why don't you go and see it? There is a rumor in the palace that it ......"

Shizuichi stopped, turned his head and asked, "What did you say?" ”

"Niangniang, you are jealous of Concubine Li's favor, and the emperor is not in the palace, so you will show Concubine Li. Also said...... He also said that those assassins might have been sent by you. ”

Shizuichi sneered and continued walking. If she had such a great ability to organize such an assassination, then she would have the ability to fly away. "It doesn't matter what others say, but Concubine Li would never think so. She is so smart, if she knew that the murderer was me, she would have visited my Shuyue Palace a long time ago, how could she have not moved at all until now. ”

"It stands to reason that Concubine Li suffered such a big loss and lost half of her life. But you see that she is still staying in her own palace, not noisy or noisy, and only asking about the murderer, as if nothing had happened. ”

Jing Yi thought that Ah Xiang made sense, if it was someone else, the palace would have been noisy for a long time, and she wanted to let everyone in the world know that she blocked an arrow for the emperor, but Concubine Li did nothing. Or is there something in her mind? "Forget it, since nothing has happened, so should nothing have happened. You let the people in the palace do things smarter, do more things and talk less, and don't pay attention to what others say. Rumors, the more you explain, the more you can't explain them. ”

"Yes."

The master and servant hurriedly walked in the direction of the palace gate with a dim palace lamp.

And shortly after they left, a man came from the prison, looking thoughtfully in the direction they had left. After hesitating for a while, he finally walked in the direction of spring flowers and autumn moons.
