The man in black on the ground snorted in pain, but he lay on the ground and did not answer. Ah Xiu saw more than a dozen sergeants standing in the courtyard, holding torches with pine oil in their hands, and the crackling sound illuminated the middle of the courtyard, and the man in black seemed to be seriously injured, and there were a lot of blood stains on the ground. Ah Xiu saw that there were many people, so he didn't go in and continued to eavesdrop. Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly: "No matter what your intentions are, take advantage of the early moves, so as not to suffer from the flesh and skin, don't think that if you grit your teeth, this king will have no way to take you!" ”

The man in black slowly supported himself with his forearms and elbows with great difficulty, slowly raised his face from the ground, and sneered: "The prince who is the winner is the loser, the prince will kill if he wants to kill, why bother to say more?!" Mu Ying was angry when she heard this, and stepped on the man's waist again and said, "Do you think you don't dare to kill you or are you reluctant to kill you?" Tomorrow I will go to the picture and graph, and I'm afraid I won't be able to find your intention?! I advise you not to make a mistake! ”

The speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, Ah Xiu sensitively heard this person's voice as if he had heard it somewhere, and after thinking about it, he remembered who it was, but he was so shocked that he covered his mouth and almost shouted: It is the personal soldier guarding the water gate in Hongdu! Rubbing his eyes, he looked carefully and looked at it, and it was really true that the person was not fake. Could it be that Zhu Wenzheng is really the opposite? How good is that? Is it really predestined by history? After thinking about it carefully, I felt that it didn't seem right: if you want to really rebel, Wen Zheng won't know the terrain of the house, why send someone to investigate, wouldn't it be good to do it directly?

Thinking about it, it's better to suppress things first and see if there can be a turnaround. Thinking of this, Ah Xiu deliberately pressed his steps and walked out. Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw Ah Xiu frowning deeply, and got up directly to help, his tone was very distressed: "Didn't you tell you to rest first?" I'm hurt and frightened, why do you still come to the front? Here! This is one of the thieves. Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the people on the ground, "Does Madame want to judge him?" ”

Ah Xiu was afraid that he would be suspicious, so he hurriedly said: "I don't want it tonight, my heart is fluttering." Besides, it's late at night, so let's be tomorrow. Just let Mu Ying take him down to take care of him. Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Ah Xiu's face was not good, so he agreed, and asked Mu Ying to continue to ask, and he wanted to take Ah Xiu back to the backyard. Ah Xiu persuaded again: "It's late at night, I can't see you interrogating people, it's almost dawn, just send someone to patrol the night a few more times tonight, this person will let Mu Ying go to the yamen first, and it will be good to try it again tomorrow." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, nodded, and asked Mu Ying to do it. Ah Xiu pretended to be unwell and let Zhu Yuanzhang help him back to the room. Entering the inner room, approaching the bedside, Zhu Yuanzhang helped Ah Xiu sit down, slowly pulled out Ah Xiu's hairpin, took the crown of the head, and carefully helped her comb the scattered hair with his fingers instead of hair, gently bunched it with his own handkerchief, and then helped her take off her outer clothes, changed into a soft gauze bedshirt embroidered with small magnolia buds embroidered with gold thread on a pink background, and helped her to lie down inside. Ah Xiu moved his body to lie down comfortably, patted the pillow, and asked Zhu Yuanzhang to lie down as well.

After Zhu Yuanzhang changed his clothes and lay down on the bed, Ah Xiu rubbed his head over, snuggled on Zhu Yuanzhang's shoulder, found a good position, and said in a low voice: "It's still like this." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled comfortably, and gently rubbed her shoulder with his hand: "You, you still like to be coquettish as much as you did at the beginning." Ah Xiu bent her mouth and said with a smile: "I haven't been coquettish, but this pillow is really a headache!" Besides, I hurt my head today, and I can't touch that hard thing! ”

"That's it! You wait! Zhu Yuanzhang asked Ah Xiu to raise his head, pulled away, got up and lit the lamp, went to the cabinet and took out two thick and soft wool hand warmers, wrapped them in his own bedrobe, and handed them to Ah Xiu: "This one is softer, but I don't know if you are used to it." Ah Xiu borrowed it, put it under his head, and praised it again and again: "Wonderful!" Wonderful! It's so comfortable! Habit tight! ”

Ah Xiu snickered in his heart: Just kidding! In the future, we will all have soft pillows, where can anyone get some porcelain wood to play with their heads! These hard and cold things have only one suitable function, and that is to collect and sell for money! It is said that the ancients did not live long, and if they pillow such a hard thing, where can the quality of sleep be good? If you don't sleep well, you will be sub-healthy, and sub-health is not far from getting sick!

I thought of Zhu Wenzheng's personal soldier again: No! Tomorrow, I have to think of ways to figure it out, if it is really a rebellion, there is no way, I can't watch my husband die. If not, who would have summoned him to the house if he had not rebelled? Ah Xiu was puzzled, but when she heard Zhu Yuanzhang snoring, her heart moved: I seem to be tired these days, and I always sleep so fast!

Then he remembered the assassin again, and thought about it, but he didn't pay attention to it, until the window paper gradually turned silver, and Ah Xiu fell asleep in a daze.

I don't know how long I slept, Ah Xiu came to a white swaying clearing, and saw a man in black lying in the distance. Seeing himself, the man was miserable and miserable, crawled to Ah Xiu's feet and said, "The princess save me!" As he spoke, he wiped a large pool of blood on Ah Xiu's shoes, which frightened Ah Xiu: "Go away, you can make it clear!" Who let you come?! ”

The man cried miserably: "There is no head, how can the princess say that she has no head, how can she say it!" As he spoke, he twisted his head down, and blood splashed in Ah Xiu's eyes, staining his vision red. The sergeant's body did not fall, and his head dripped, dripping with blood, was carried in his hands, but his mouth was still shouting: "My head, my head, give it to me!" Ah Xiu was so frightened that he said, "Don't come here!" You youkai! The man's head still shouted, "The head is gone!" Gone! After speaking, he fell to the ground, but he still said these two words. Ah Xiu closed his eyes and shouted in fright: "Ah!! ”

"Ah Xiu! Ah Xiu! Wake up! Wake up! Zhu Yuanzhang's voice came into Ah Xiu's ears, Ah Xiu slowly opened his eyes, and in front of him was Zhu Yuanzhang's face wearing a white deer skin with cat's eyes. Did you have a nightmare? I had just changed my clothes and was about to go out, and you were so frightened that you screamed and scared me! Are you feeling better now? Would you like to drink some water? Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a soft and concerned tone.

Ah Xiu nodded, Zhu Yuanzhang stepped over to the table and poured a glass of water, handed it to Ah Xiu, watched Ah Xiu drink water, pulled up the handkerchief to wipe the sweat on her neck, and when she finished drinking, she took the cup and handed her the handkerchief: "Or?" Ah Xiu shook his head, wiped his sweat, sat up straight, and looked out: "What time is it?" Zhu Yuanzhang was a little relieved, and the anxiety on his face also retreated a little: "Mao is correct." ”

Ah Xiu's face turned slightly bloody, and he asked, "Where are you going?" In the army or in the yamen? Ah Xiu went together. Yuan Zhang sat on the edge of the bed, put his arm around Ah Xiu, and patted her on the shoulder: "When I went to the army, the military reported that Zhang Shicheng seemed to have moved, and I am afraid that yesterday's assassin was sent by him." Originally, Xu Da was going to ask for orders to attack Luzhou recently, but I agreed, didn't Ah Xiu remember? Now it's time to go out and take the lead to collect Luzhou. After a pause and thinking about something, Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "I won't personally interrogate yesterday's assassin, let Mu Ying's kid also try and practice, and ask for me." ”

"The concubine wants to listen to it together, originally today Biao'er was going to follow Mu Ying to the army, since the prince wants him to interrogate people, why don't the prince take Biao'er with him, and wait for Mu Ying to finish the assassin's case and then ask Mu Ying to take Biao'er, okay?" Ah Xiu hurriedly said. As if he was afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would regret it, he laughed: "Well, just Mrs. Yi!" After speaking, he called his family to call Zhu Biao and went out together.

Ah Xiu also changed into a camellia red butterfly embroidered gown, and a pleated gauze skirt with azure lotus leaf pattern. Pushed open the window, sat in front of the dressing table, cleaned his face, let Ying'er comb himself into a bun, took the boy inlaid with pearls sent by Su Xin to hold the lotus golden hairpin, inserted it left and right, pressed a phoenix peony flower in the middle of the hairpin, and brought a pair of gold pendants with big beads in the ears. Standing up and looking at the sky, he didn't wear a coat anymore, he was just about to go out, he thought about it, and then he took the fan box and picked out the silk fan sent by Su Xin, and then he came out.

Mu Ying listened to Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions and was already waiting outside the door, Ah Xiu came out with him, walked outside the house, got into the prepared car, lowered the curtain, and arrived at the yamen. Walking to the hall, the old man of the mansion was busy saluting. Ah Xiu nodded and accepted the salute, saying that the prince ordered Mu Ying to interrogate yesterday's prisoner, and the old man of Nafutai nodded again and again, bowed his head and retired. Ah Xiu asked Mu Ying to sit in the right seat, and he asked someone to move a chair and sit aside to listen to the trial.

Mu Ying took the order and sent someone to bring someone to the prisoner, Ah Xiu deliberately fanned the fan, looking at the person, Mu Ying interrogated as usual, the person still didn't say anything, didn't raise his head, just knelt there, a little more energetic than yesterday, but he didn't look good. Mu Ying asked a few questions in a row, but the man still didn't say a word, so angry that Mu Ying slapped the dragon-shaped startling wood of the sandalwood and shouted, "Bah! Culprits! When I asked you yesterday, you pretended to be dead and kept quiet, what is the reason? Do you force the official to be punished!! ”

Ah Xiu pretended to miss it, the fan fell to the ground with a snap, the prisoner looked over here, saw the fan, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly covered up and lowered his head, Ah Xiu saw that he recognized the fan, and knew that he recognized it correctly, it was the sergeant, so he was even more worried, got up and walked to Mu Ying's case and looked down at the prisoner, pretending to be angry and said: "Raise your head!" When the man reluctantly looked up, Ah Xiu gave him a look, "Who sent you?" Whether you are here to assassinate the prince or a bandit to explore the way, if you explain it carefully, you will not be wronged! If you don't keep quiet, then you will be cut off from this felony?! ”

The man saw the eyes, was stunned, and soon seemed to understand Ah Xiu's deep meaning, and insisted that it was the people of the nearby government, and they were very hungry, so they did the work of bandits.
