Chapter 18: Waiting for Me!

This year's winter in Dijing is particularly bleak, dense clouds and no rain, haze and no snow, and the bottom of the pot lid like pale gray is heavily buckled on the top of people's heads, and they feel depressed at a glance. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Early in the morning, a ride through the city gate, galloping through the imperial city in the middle of the Jiuyi Avenue, straight to the palace city, the comer patted the horse like a frightened wind, a line of yellow dust rolled straight away, showing the rare exquisite riding skills of ordinary people, the people on both sides of the road looked up only to feel that the wind was like a sharp blade cutting face, and the corner of the eye could only sweep the golden lion mark on the knight's belt, but strangely, the belt was white.

Looking at the direction in which the man galloped, it was the location of the Ministry of Rites on the west side of the imperial city.

At the same time, there was also a horse riding from another city gate, galloping towards the Wei Bachelor's Mansion.

Scholar Wei was in the court, and the comer went straight into the palace and handed over a secret letter to Zong Chen.

As soon as Zong Chen opened it, his face changed drastically, and Huo Ran stood up.

"It's ...... It's true? ”

The comer bowed his head.

Zong Chen was stunned for a while, this usually gentle person looked very ugly for a moment, and sat down almost out of shape.

He closed his eyes and sighed.

"Heaven forbid, lose my hero!"

When he opened his eyes again, his expression had regained his calm, and he said quickly: "Three things. ”

Under the Blood Floating Slaughter stationed in the grassland, he immediately bowed down and listened carefully.

"First, immediately find out the truth about the attack on Mayu Pass, the king of Helian, who leaked the news, and who is chasing and killing him along the way."

"Yes!"

"Second, immediately cut off all connections from that grassland to Xiliang's secret trading path, and inform Xiliang to get ready."

"Yes!"

"Third," Zong Chen paused suddenly, and then said decisively, "From today onwards, all the people distributed throughout the country will immediately enter the alert and combat readiness, use business as a disguise, take stock of the transfer of shops, and those who are disguised by gangs will break away from the gangs, and everyone must remain free and be on call at any time!" ”

"......" subordinates finally raised their heads in shock, "Lord Commander, it's not that the time has not come......"

"God sometimes can't allow you to wait for the right time." Zong Chen smiled bitterly, "If this happens, no one knows what the girl's reaction will be, we must gather all the forces that can be mobilized, and make all preparations for dealing with it first." ”

"But ......"

Zong Chen waved his hand to stop his words, slowly walked to the window, looked at the floating clouds in the sky with his hands, and remembered the man with colorful gem eyes.

He is the king of the grassland, but he is more open-minded than the grassland, he went to the majestic snow-capped mountains at the end of the sky, and since then the girl has been left to face the endless sorrow of this earthly world.

"You don't know the girl'......" he said after a long time, "she is not a good person, but she attaches great importance to her relatives and friends, Helian Zheng is in her heart, she is an inseparable confidant, I can't imagine what she will be like when she knows about it......"

He stopped, his eyes cast on the gloomy sky, as if he saw above the clouds, the golden lion king smiled and turned back, his colorful eyes covered the sky, and behind him the stratus clouds rolled angrily, blood and fire burned the plains.

When Zong Chen gave three orders in the palace for the first time, someone in a palace room in the palace was slowly turning around.

"What?" On weekdays, the hoarse ****'s voice became sharp because it was too surprised, "All dead? ”

A palace man dressed as a grandmother replied in a low voice, and carefully stepped aside.

Concubine Qing stood in the hall, her head full of pearls and emerald without wind, and the bottom of the wide robe sleeves faintly clenched out of vertical and horizontal folds, her expression was full of disbelief.

The best elites in hundreds of organizations, chasing and killing for thousands of miles, doing everything they can, and in the end they didn't leave Helian Zheng, who was not guarded by an army at all? Or the whole army is destroyed?

How can it be?

"Smack."

Unable to suppress the anger in her heart anymore, she slapped her palm on the window lattice, the window lattice turned into powder silently, and the smoke and dust drifted away, and everyone endured it, not daring to cough.

"Master......" the grandmother cried, "Actually, it's a good ......."

"You know what!" Concubine Qing Huo Ran turned around and scolded angrily, "This is called a success? It's a failure! Helian Zheng's death must involve Wei Zhi to be useful! Now that he is dead in the grassland, and all my people are dead, where can I still move Wei Zhi! ”

No one dared to speak, and they all stepped back silently.

"When patrolling the grassland border, he was betrayed by his personal guards and plotted to die?" Concubine Qing grabbed the secret report on the case, and blue tendons burst out on her forehead, "Okay!" Good reason! Good for you, Helian Zheng! Death is also a dripping death! , I underestimated you! ”

"It's the ......fault of the subordinates," the mother said, "I want to keep Helian Zheng's life alive and better treat Wei Zhi's crimes in the future, if he is killed at the beginning, he may not be able to run back to the grassland......"

Concubine Qing was stunned for a long time, waved her hand weakly, and motioned for everyone to go down except for the grandmother, and the room was quiet before she spoke again, her tone had faded, "...... Forget it, I gave this order, you are just carrying it out, it's just a pity that all the best elites of my 'meat futon' training for ten years are just a pity...... I ...... when I think about it."

She suddenly turned around mournfully, grabbed the grandmother's hand, and said, "Mother Huang...... If you want revenge, why is it so difficult......"

"Miss......" The grandmother hesitated for a moment, and finally slowly raised her hand to stroke her hair as before, but it was a touch of it, and said softly, "Actually, you don't have to be too bitter yourself, the master may not be ......."

"Here you go again." Concubine Qing Huo Ran raised her head, pushed her away, raised her eyebrows and said, "Daddy is foolish, he is willing to die, but I am unwilling!" I'm unwilling! ”

She stood up on the ground, opened her arms angrily, and walked quickly around the room, "Blood Floating Massacre! Bloody Slaughter! He was proud of his life, dedicated to it, and died for the blood of the slaughter! Took away my father, killed my mother, and ruined my life's bloody slaughter! ”

Mama pounced a little frightened, and shrunk and said, "Miss, don't, don't, you tap, tap, tap......"

Concubine Qing turned her face, her eyes were bloodshot, Su Ri's gloomy and calm, all changed the decadence and madness after the major failure at this moment, and the resentment that had been accumulated in her heart for more than ten years rushed overwhelmingly, and she wanted to drown everything in an instant.

"Don't, don't ......," she laughed fiercely, her fingers clutching the curtain beside her, "I've been listening to this word for years, don't!" ”

"Don't bother your dad, he has a mission!"

"Don't look for your daddy, he's busy!"

"Don't ask your father for money, he lent it to his brother!"

"Don't scold your father, it's normal for him to marry a second room, I only gave birth to one daughter of yours, and your father wants a son......"

"Look." Concubine Qing pouted and smiled, "My mother is such a woman who swallows her anger, she is proud of my father's identity as a royal guard, but this secret guard only gives everything to the Blood Floating Slaughter, he values his brothers more than our mother and daughter, and values those ghost tasks more than the family and everything, and in the end, he finally killed himself, and gave his life to the last royal descendant of the ghost dynasty, and after his death, the body was taken by his good brother to blow people up - what a good brother!" It's really worthy of his blood slaughter! ”

"The old man is a loyal man...... the grandmother muttered.

"Loyalty!" Concubine Qing snorted, "What do you get back for loyalty?" My father died, the blood was scattered, but my mother was suddenly pregnant at that time, she was sad and happy, and she was determined to give birth to this posthumous child, and the result? The result? She had a difficult birth, but we had no money or medicine, so I delivered her by myself, one corpse and two lives! ”

Mama began to sob, and said, "Miss, don't talk about it......"

"That day, I knelt in front of her bed, my hands were full of blood, my brother came out halfway, and he was suffocated to death...... Concubine Qing's voice lowered, and she said blankly, "That blood is so hot, that blood is so cold, at that moment I thought, the blood is also stained with the blood of my family of three!" ”

Mama covered her face and stepped back, Concubine Qing squinted at her, "You also remember, don't you, the house we borrowed at the time, my mother and brother died there, and people were unlucky to drive us away, at that time, the Tiansheng Army was chasing Dacheng Yu everywhere, we didn't dare to stay, begging all the way, and secretly went to Xiliang, two women, I couldn't live in other countries, if I hadn't been favored by Xiliang's first song and dance company, and chose to be a dancer, I and you would have died on the streets of Xiliang a long time ago!" ”

"Miss......" said in a trembling voice, "...... The old slave knows that you are suffering, but ......"

"I'm not trying to avenge my father, he doesn't deserve my revenge." Concubine Qing said coldly, "I just hate, I hate Dacheng, I hate the blood slaughter, I hate the so-called imperial heir, how can he be virtuous, let my father be born and die for him, and the body is incomplete?" Let me lose all my relatives because of him and be exiled in a foreign country? She gritted her fine teeth, pointed to the clouds outside the palace, and said sharply: "Blood Floating Massacre, right?" Then I'll build a meat futon! Dacheng's heir needs to be continued, right? Then I won't let you live well! ”

"Miss, are you sure it's really that ......"

Concubine Qing sneered.

"I'd rather be a bastard shameless thing! Formed an alliance with me, promised to help me find the heir of Emperor Dacheng, and deceived me into working for him, and in the end the heir of Emperor Dacheng was in his eyes, and he actually wanted to fool me to the end! Lie to me! Lie to me! All lie to me! ”

"Since you know who it is, why don't you just tell Your Majesty?" Mama asked cautiously.

"Do you know what is the most severe punishment in the world?" Concubine Qing did not answer the rhetorical question.

Mama shook her head blankly, and said tentatively for a while, "Kill him?" ”

"Wrong." Concubine Qing shook her fingers, "Killing people is just a painful knife, ending the pain in an instant, what's the point?" If you want to send a person to hell, you should let him lose everything he cares about, destroy all his dreams of working hard for it, tear all his heart-to-heart bonds, and then at the moment when he thinks he is close to success and victory, give him a slap in the face and push him **** into hell. Her eyes fluttered, and she smiled beautifully, "That's called happiness." ”

Mama shuddered and kept silent.

"I like to take revenge with my own hands, it's more interesting, but Helian Zheng's incident is still unexpected to me...... If you can't punish like that, you have to just order it. Concubine Qing sighed leisurely and said, "The time has not yet come...... Wait a minute......" She slowly stretched out her five fingers and made a hard grasp gesture in the air.

"You wait for the handle, in my palm, and don't be too complacent, wait for me!"

At the moment when Concubine Qing's five fingers cracked the imaginary enemy, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites in the palace took a person and was asking to see the king of Chu outside Haoyun Xuan.

Hao Yunxuan was in a meeting to discuss state affairs, Ning Yi was in the middle of the upper seat facing the door, and the bachelors were sitting on both sides.

At a glance, he saw two people coming in the distance, and he didn't care, but then the walking posture of a person behind him caught his attention.

Then his gaze fell on the other party's waist, and his eyes immediately froze again.

It happened to be Feng Zhiwei talking at the bottom, asking him about the drought relief and famine relief in the north this winter, and suddenly saw Ning Yi's eyes all the time, she rarely saw him with such a look, and immediately turned her head vigilantly to look out, but Ning Yi had already stood up and walked out.

He stood in front of the stairs, saw the man's outfit behind the Ministry of Rites, saw the messenger's white belt clearly, and took a deep breath.

"Your Highness." Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites stepped forward and said in a low voice, "This is the messenger of the Huzhuo Ministry who came to report the funeral, Shunyi ......."

Ning Yi interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and the messenger stepped forward and kowtowed, and was about to speak sadly, when Ning Yi stretched out his hand to hold him, and said in a harmonious voice: "This king already knows that the envoy has worked hard from afar, Lord Wang, please arrange for the envoy to go to the post house to rest." I will report this matter to Your Majesty, and I should be posthumously praised, and then I will have my own will. ”

He couldn't help but say, so he took the funeral paperwork, and sent the inexplicable two out with one hand, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu looked at him strangely, and didn't understand why His Royal Highness the King of Chu stopped the conversation, so he had to take the messenger and hurriedly go out.

Ning Yi took the paperwork and walked back slowly, all the scholars in the hall noticed the scene outside, it was not a big deal, it was impossible for the Ministry of Rites to come to see him at this time, and they all looked at him with burning eyes.

Feng Zhiwei also looked at it just now, but the messenger was blocked by Ning Yi, and he didn't see what was going on, Ning Yi and the two of them stood outside the door and whispered, they couldn't hear what they said, but the thin and low voice was in their ears, dull and blurry, and their hearts were pounding for no reason, as if a nightmare suddenly came, and they were pressed in their hearts, and they couldn't break it, they wanted to break it, they wanted to break it, and they were afraid that they would break it and meet the bloody result.

A scholar beside him suddenly leaned over and asked, "What's wrong with you, Scholar Wei?" ”

Feng Zhiwei realized that somehow his hands were a little trembling, so he quickly smiled and said, "It's cold, it's a little cold." He took the teacup and took his hand.

At this time, Ning Yi had already walked back, facing the questioning eyes of the important ministers in the hall, he nodded very calmly, and while unfolding the paperwork in his hand, he walked in the direction of Feng Zhiwei, his body blocked in front of her, and said: "Inform your lords, what I received just now was a funeral news from the Huzhuo Ministry......

"Whew-"

The teacup in Feng Zhiwei's hand suddenly fell, and the lid of the teacup tilted slightly in mid-air to pounce hot tea.

Ning Yi had long been prepared for her public gaffe, and as soon as the clerk covered her palm, she had already caught the teacup, flicked her fingers, reset the lid of the cup, and then quietly put the teacup on the table.

His series of movements were as fast as lightning, and he kept leaning on the small table next to Feng Zhiwei to block everyone's sight, and no one saw the scene of Feng Zhiwei dropping tea.

Feng Zhiwei didn't know what he had done.

She just raised her head and looked at the funeral documents with black on a white background in Ning Yi's hand.

In an instant, his face was snow-white, and his eyes were endlessly black!
