Chapter 54: The Knife Mark

Rain is the most precious gift from God to the earth, and it is not just used to irrigate the land and provide for life. www.biquge.info The reason why it is transparent is because it is not like a trace of dirt in this world, not only that, but it also washes away all the dirt in this heaven and earth, leaving the world with a clear world, a clean and happy land.

Yetian stretched his hand out of the window, felt the coldness of the raindrops falling into his palm, and said lightly: "Moyu, not everyone can be like you without eating fireworks, the reason why a person is a person is because he has affection, affection, and persistence has always been there." Even you can't let it go completely, can you? ”

In a word, she can't let go of it herself, how can she persuade others to let go. There was a whisper from the back room, "Niangniang, does your heart still hurt?" ”

Mo Yu turned around and walked into the back room, looking at the sleeping appearance on the bed, and shook her head helplessly. Cover her with the quilt again, and then say softly: "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt anymore." Xiangrong in the dream seemed to hear Moyu's words, and opened his mouth and laughed twice.

There was a worried voice from behind, "Does your heart hurt a lot?" ”

"When I woke up, it was painful, but now it's all better." Mo Yu covered the curtains, walked to the table, and poured a cup of tea.

Yetian then sat down, "There is one thing I don't understand, there must always be a motive for killing, but what is their motive for killing you?" ”

Slowly swallowed the tea in my mouth, I don't know why, it was just a glass of boiled water, and there was a bitter taste in my mouth. Mo Yu lowered his eyes and said lightly, "I don't know." Besides, how can you conclude that I am the one they are going to kill? Maybe it's just a mistake. ”

"That night, although the assassin was fatal to the emperor's sword, the key was in the last arrow, which was the key to human life. I carefully recalled that the position of that arrow happened to be the position of the emperor's heart, and when you blocked it, your body deliberately deviated a little, otherwise, that arrow would be enough to kill you on the spot. ”

Mo Yu leisurely drank the tea in the cup and said lightly, "What do you want to say?" ”

Ye Tian looked into her eyes steadily, not letting go of a trace of expression change on her face. "It's not like an assassination, it's like a bitter show."

That's right, it's a bitter show. Yetian is worthy of being the chief envoy of the Privy Council, and his ability to investigate and reason is naturally not a problem. Mo Yu put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Now that you know, I don't need to explain more. Once again, I would like to remind you that this trip is very deep, so it is better not to intervene. ”

"I'm already in the game, so how can I stay out of it."

"You want to stay out of it every night, it's easy. I didn't know anything about that night, and even if I did, I wouldn't say. That's how I stayed out of it. ”

The hard fist hit the cotton, and the night sky was really angry and didn't dare to sprinkle. All the evidence is complete, all the clues have been found, but he can't figure out the most critical point, and this point is the key point that connects the whole case, and he can't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time. Only Moyu knew this answer, but she didn't say it.

Yetian poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and said, "I really want to pinch you." ”

Mo Yu raised his head and smiled slightly, "I'm not wood, I'll let you pinch it obediently." In fact, you don't need to rush to know this problem, when the water is clear, the fish will appear, and when the time is ripe, you will naturally know. ”

Yetian pointed to his throat and complained: "Do you know what this is, if it is in your throat, you will die in a hurry." ”

"Don't worry, there is someone who is angry, it is Zhou Yu. I haven't heard of people dying in a hurry, and I haven't seen them. Hey, when are you going to go down the mountain? ”

The teacup was turned around in his hand, and he sighed, "I have to leave in a while, and I have to get down the mountain before dawn." ”

"What's so urgent, it's still raining!"

Yetian stopped what he was doing and said in a deep voice: "I have to rush to Luzhou." ”

Mo Yu was puzzled, "Go to Luzhou?" Do what? ”

"Don't you know? The army of the Northern Han Dynasty approached the northern border of our Zhou Kingdom. ”

This news was so surprising, Mo Yu frowned, why didn't she receive any news at all. No one in the palace said it, and no one in the Ji Mansion said it. "When did the Northern Han army press the border?"

"It was half a month ago. This time, in order to fight against Shu, the emperor levied half of the grain and grass in the local prefectures and counties. When Liu Hao, the emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty, got the news and thought that the Zhou State must now have no food and grass, and it was a good time to attack, so he waved his troops south. ”

The soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first. If the backup is insufficient, the Zhou soldiers will be defeated. Mo Yu thought for a while and asked, "Didn't the emperor ask merchants to go to various countries to buy grain and grass before?" Can you buy it? ”

Ye Tian pointed at Mo Yu and said with a smile: "I knew that this was your idea, and as soon as I heard it, I knew that this kind of trick must have been made by a woman, and there is no smart person in this palace except you." ”

Cut, "That's not necessarily, don't underestimate women, there are smart women in the palace, and some women's methods, even you may not be an opponent." ”

"I know this, but their tricks are all used against you women, not to help the emperor. This woman who worries about the country and the people, who else is there but you. ”

Mo Yu waved his hand and said, "Okay, I don't want to be poor with you, let me ask you, can you buy the vacant grain and grass?" ”

Yetian leisurely cocked Erlang's legs and said with a smile: "You want to know the answer?" Let's make a deal! ”

Cut, love to say it or not, Mo Yu patted the table and said, "Then forget it!" But if you're still in the mood to joke with me, you must have done it. ”

Yetian no longer beat around the bush and said, "I bought it, and I hid it." The emperor sent a secret letter to me, asking me to go to Luzhou, secretly transport the grain and grass I bought, and fight side by side with Zhao Kuangyin to drive Liu Hao back to Taiyuan. ”

Mo Yu was still worried, "Grain and grass alone is not enough, the Northern Han soldiers and horses are weak, if they ask for help from the Great Liao, with the iron cavalry of the Great Liao army, the Zhou army may not be able to get benefits." ”

"You can rest assured of this, Liu Hao is very conceited, thinking that his little strength is enough to defeat our hungry Zhou Guobing. So, he didn't ask his uncle for help. ”

"That's good news."

The wind outside the house suddenly turned in a different direction, originally blowing to the side of the window lattice, but now it was blowing in the opposite direction, and without the sound of the rain hitting the window lattice, all the noise outside the door became obvious.

Ye Tian and Mo Yu glanced at each other, and almost at the same time, Ye Tian's figure flew up suddenly, broke through the door, and the palm wind approached the black shadow that had been standing under the corridor for a long time. Mo Yu got up and ran to the door, the cold wind poured straight into the neckline, and the pain from her heart made her shake her body, but in order not to distract the person who was fighting, she hurriedly stabilized her body and regained her look.

The two people who were fighting had already reached the rain from the porch, and the man in black was knocked to the ground with a fierce slap in the night. Seeing that the situation was not good, the man in black immediately took out the small bamboo tube in his arms and pulled away one end of the bamboo tube. When Mo Yu saw it, he exclaimed, "Don't let him send a signal." But it was too late, and a thick cloud of white smoke was already rushing into the sky.

Ye Tian rushed to the man in black, stretched out his hand and directly twisted his arm, and with a "click", one arm had been dislocated. The man in black moved quickly, wanted to open his neckline, swallowed the poison hidden in his neckline, and after a while, he foamed at the mouth and died with his eyes staring.

"Mother, what's going on?" Xiang Rong's voice came from inside the house. At the same time, people also poured in from outside the hospital, "Niangniang, are you okay?" "Sister, what's wrong?"

Mo Yu stood under the porch, Ye Tian glanced back at her, nodded, and then jumped and disappeared at the end of the walled courtyard. Seeing everyone coming to her, she hurriedly smiled and said, "I'm fine, someone broke in just now." ”

Sikong Jun worried: "Is there any injury?" ”

"No, a stranger ran out to protect me, and I'm fine. By the way, Abbot, I would like you to help me carry the man in the courtyard. ”

After Mo Yu pointed at this, everyone found that there was still a person lying on the ground not far away, because it was dark and it was raining, so they didn't notice it for a while. The abbot instructed a few of his disciples to carry the man into the house. Mo Yu looked at the sky, the fireworks that exploded did not sound, and he understood when he looked at the droplets of water on the ground. This rain is really timely.

Entering the hall, Sikong had already taken off the mask of the man in black. Poisoned to death, his facial features were distorted, and he was miserable. Mo Yu raised her head and said to Xiang Rong, "Xiang Rong, you help Miss Zhao to go to the back room to rest." ”

Zhao Danxiu is a girl after all, and it is not good to see this scene. Xiang Rong muttered, "Why?" ”

"It's an order." The order could not be refused, so he had no choice but to pull Zhao Danxiu into the back room. Compared with Xiangrong, Zhao Danxiu was naturally a little smarter, and he knew Moyu's intentions.

After Xiangrong and Zhao Danxiu entered, Mo Yu instructed: "Grandpa Ma, search for it." ”

Ma Gonggong did so, searched the ground from top to bottom, and even took off his shoes, except for a small used bamboo tube, there was nothing. Mo Yu pointed to his clothes and said, "Take off his clothes." ”

Ma Gonggong was a little embarrassed, not that he was unwilling to take it off, but that this person was a man and Niangniang was a woman, which was a bit bad! Sikong also persuaded on the side: "Niangniang, I'm afraid this is not good!" ”

"It's just a dead man, I don't mind what you guys mind about, take it off!"

"Yes." Ma Gonggong took off his shirt, and his whole body was slick with nothing, except for a three-finger-wide knife-shaped mark on his arm.

Mo Yu's face changed, this knife-shaped mark was pierced, but what shocked her was not this, but this mark, which she had seen on the back of Concubine De's neck. That night, Concubine De Niangniang danced the phoenix dance for nine days, wearing a low and narrow dance dress, and when she waved her arms, the heel of her neck was exposed, as well as the knife-shaped mark on the back of her neck.

The mark here cannot be a birthmark, a birthmark cannot grow on two people, and it is exactly the same. What is the identity of this person? He's here to spy on her? Or is it the tail that the night sky brought up? What is the identity of Concubine De? She is by no means just the eldest lady of the Wang family, or is it that Concubine De is not the eldest lady of the Wang family at all, or is there something wrong with Prime Minister Wang's family?

Seeing that she was shocked and in a daze, Sikong Jun stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Mo Yu, and said, "What's wrong with Niangniang, is your heart hurting again?" ”

Mo Yu came back to his senses and said, "It's nothing, I'm just thinking, who have I offended recently, and I'm always thinking about my life." ”

Ma Gonggong really wants to cry! This Concubine Liniang can't have any mistakes! "Niangniang, you should let those four guards follow, look at this, how troublesome!"

Speaking of the four guards, Mo Yu felt that it was too much trouble for them. So when I got up in the morning, I added some fierce ingredients to their tea, so that they could sleep until night, and it was estimated that they should also wake up. "Oh, okay. It's a blessing or a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided. You don't have to worry too much, since they can't kill tonight, they also know that there are masters by my side, and they won't send anyone more. ”

Sikong worried: "The truth is this, what if they don't play their cards according to common sense?" ”

The old abbot bowed down and said, "Amitabha, the mother can rest in peace." After a while, the old man will send his disciples to the hospital to protect the courtyard, and he will never let the mother have any mistakes. Then he waved his hand and asked his apprentice to carry the people on the ground away.

Mo Yu waved his hand and said, "Don't be so troublesome......"

Without waiting for Moyu to finish speaking, Ma Gonggong bent down and thanked: "Then there is Abbot Lao, the abbot's great kindness, the old slave will definitely play the emperor another day." ”

"Amitabha, the four major monks are empty, and they don't want these false names. Please rest, the old man retired. ”

Ma Gonggong "haha" smiled and said: "Okay, then I'll send the abbot." Then he turned to Mo Yu and said, "Don't talk again, go in and rest." ”

Mo Yu was stunned for a moment, is she the master or is he the master! But come to think of it, he's also for her good. Sikong explained with a smile: "Gonggong Ma is also thinking about your safety. ”

"I know, the big night has alarmed you again, and I'm sorry not to go."

"Don't say that, I'd love to. It's late, you rest, I'll go first. ”

"Okay."

Watching Sikong walk away, Mo Yucai closed the door, walked into the inner room, looked at the two people sitting at the table, and said, "Okay, let's sleep together tonight!" The bed was big enough for three people. ”

Zhao Danxiu still had palpitations, "Sister, who sent that person just now?" ”

Mo Yu walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, spread his hands, and said innocently: "How do I know, he didn't tattoo his name on him." ”

"Sister, have you offended someone?"

"Living in the palace, it is not necessary that you will be killed if you offend. Sometimes you are silent, and others will treat you as a thorn in the flesh. For Zhao Danxiu, she can only explain it like this. Go to sleep! If you're not sleepy, I'm sleepy, I'm still sick! ”

Zhao Danxiu was still not at ease, and said worriedly: "Sister, will they still come?" ”

"Don't worry! If they come again, I'll stand in your way. Pointing to Xiang Rong, who was already drowsy, he said, "You should learn from her, the sky is falling, and it won't be our turn to top." Call her up! ”

Zhao Danxiu walked up to Xiang Rong, patted her on the shoulder, and suddenly shouted loudly, "The assassin is here." This roar not only woke up Xiang Rong, but also startled Mo Yu.

Xiang Rong stood up suddenly, looked around, and kept shouting: "Where is the assassin, where is the assassin, where is the mother?" ”

"I'm here!" Mo Yu looked at Zhao Danxiu helplessly.

Xiang Rong turned around and ran to Moyu's side, checked up and down, and said worriedly: "Niangniang, where are you injured?" ”

Mo Yu slapped Xiang Rong's hand away and said angrily: "You were just injured, I'm fine." ”

"Oh, that's good, what about the Assassin?"

"Where did you get so many assassins, Danxiu scared you."

Xiang Rong realized that he had been deceived, turned around and said slightly angrily: "Miss Zhao, you are with my mother, you have become bad, and you are still playing wolf with me." ”

Zhao Danxiu walked up to him and said with a smile: "I saw that you slept too soundly, and I was not happy, so I scared you." ”

"Miss Zhao, don't scare me in the future, I'm timid."

Just like her, she can still sleep even after her death, and she doesn't look like a timid person when she looks left and right. Mo Yu took the lead in getting into bed and said, "Come in and sleep!" ”

It may be really tired, or it may be due to the body, or it may be due to the effect of the medicine. This night, Moyu slept well. Even the thunder and rain crackling outside the window could not shock her good dreams.
