Chapter 22: Finding the Truth (2)
"What the hell is going on?" Hongli earned his hands that were tied up, he was a phoenix chick, when did he receive such treatment. Is this how the people deal with the thieves when they catch them? He was really going to die unjustly, and he couldn't even see the color of Feng Niang's belly pocket.
Fu Hengli thought about it, and said with a look of remorse, "It was Weichen who was reckless and harmed the fourth elder brother." ”
"What do you mean?" He Hongli is not blind, and the people in the "three-inch medicine shop" are not simple, especially Feng Niang, who seems to be weak, but in fact she is deeply hidden.
Fu Heng told him the real purpose of coming here, and the more Hongli listened, the more wide-eyed he became, "Fu Heng, you are confused, knowing that this Feng Niang is powerful, you should send more people to investigate, how can you take risks alone?" ”
"What alone? He still has me", pouting with tears.
"It's bad to have you", Hongli took a deep breath, at this time, he didn't bother to argue with her, and said in a deep voice, "She can assassinate you halfway, she must know your itinerary well." But Fu Heng went out of Beijing to pick up Chen's mother and daughter, and even I didn't know, but I thought that the person who revealed the news was by Huang Ama's side. This matter involves the palace, and even the safety of Huang Ama, how can the two of you solve it? ”
Fu Heng nodded in agreement, but what made him even more worried was, "Listening to Feng Niang's tone, I'm afraid that the person they really want to deal with is you, Fourth Elder Brother." ”
"Me?" Hongli was taken aback.
"Feng Niang's original assassination target was me, and later, I met her many times in Beijing, but I didn't see her do it again. I thought she was going to hide her whereabouts and wouldn't reveal her identity, but I didn't expect her to see the fourth elder brother coming together today, so she couldn't help but make a move. I suspect that she chose to get rid of me first so that the fourth elder brother would have a less helper by his side, and it would be easier to deal with you", Fu Heng calmly analyzed.
Zero Tears couldn't help but beat faster when she heard this, it turned out that the group of people was brewing to assassinate the prince! Why? Is it because of the emperor's throne? Suddenly, she remembered Hongshi, the matter of fratricidal brothers, and their emperor Ama did not do less, and it is difficult to say about inheritance.
Hongli was in danger, pondered for a moment, and looked at Fu Heng for a long time, and the two nodded thoughtfully. Zero tears could see that there was something they didn't want her to know, so she snorted knowingly and leaned on the dry firewood, "Forget it, it's not killing me anyway, I'll sleep first." ”
"You're really a wolf-hearted," Hongli taunted her, "In that case, we won't wake you up when we run away later." ”
"What?" She immediately sat up, "Have you figured out a plan?" ”
Fu Heng shook his head amusedly and said, "Even if they want to start, they will definitely not be in Beijing." If Brother Gong is missing, the Praetorian Guards will turn the city of Beijing over, and it will be difficult for them to get out. So, they will definitely smuggle us out of the city before the news gets out. ”
"Yes", Zero Tears suddenly smiled, "Then we can act at the opportunity, well, Fu Heng is really smart." ”
Unexpectedly, she would praise herself, Fu Heng was stunned, and his heart trembled slightly.
Hongli looked at the expression on his face quite playfully, and sighed.
After a while, I heard Feng Niang's reprimanding voice from outside the firewood room, "Why are there only two of them?" ”
"Time is too tight, and there are only these two ready-made mouthfuls."
"That's all we have to do before dark."
A moment later, the door of the firewood room opened, and the three of them were set up, and at a glance they saw two black lacquered coffins parked in the courtyard.
"Wait, it's not going to put us in a coffin", it's too unlucky, she doesn't want it.
Feng Niang snorted and hid the wicked smile at the corner of her mouth, "Miss Chen, you can just do it." It's better to have a coffin than to throw it into a mass grave. He walked past her and looked at Fu Heng again, "His martial arts are not low, in case he is a ghost, let him take a bite." ”
"Yes", Fu Heng was lifted his head and feet and put into one of them, and the coffin lid was nailed with willow nails, leaving only a few air holes.
Zero tears have no blood on her face, she is not afraid of heaven and earth, only ...... Claustrophobia, "Let go of me, let go of me", she trembled in her voice, desperately struggling.
"It's noisy, plug her mouth", Feng Niang said in annoyance.
Zero Tears' mouth was mercilessly sealed with a coarse cloth, and then he was thrown into the coffin, and then, Hongli was also thrown in. The lid of the coffin closed slowly, and the tear-free eyes stared out in horror, and the light disappeared little by little, and all the sounds were still......
"Hurry up, lock her in a small dark room, lock her up for a few days, and she will be honest." A person who was charitable a moment ago has become as hideous as a devil at this moment.
"Let me out, I want Dad, I want Mommy, woo woo", the immature little hand banged on the door hard, she wanted to go home, she would never eat ice cream again.
"Zero tears, what's wrong with you?" A tear fell on Hongli's cheek, although he couldn't see her clearly, he felt her fear deeply, "Don't be afraid, we can leave this coffin when we get out of the city." ”
The hallucinations faded gradually, her pupils reflected his slightly bright eyes, "Hongli", a muffled voice came from the gagged mouth, she didn't want to endure the darkness again alone, she was afraid to go back to that night when she couldn't see her fingers, she curled up helplessly in the corner, crying until her voice was hoarse.
The coffin was lifted, and her body shook suddenly, and she slipped into his arms. She couldn't stop shaking, her breathing became more and more rapid, she would never forget, that nightmarish night, she was punched and kicked, beaten to the point that her head was bleeding, the organization would only choose those children who could survive it, she gritted her teeth and endured until she was dying......
"Zero tears, zero tears". Someone was calling her, and finally pulled back her wandering thoughts, she leaned into his arms, gasping hard, the nightmares she had once had shattered into countless shards in the depths of her heart, stinging her flesh and blood.
"I see, you must be gagged and can't breathe", he twisted his body, lowered his head and slowly approached her face, groping, his lips touched her cheek, he was stunned, and continued to move closer to her mouth until he bit the cloth with his mouth and pulled it out with little effort.
She took a deep breath and collapsed there.
"What's wrong with you? Are you crying? I finally discovered your weakness, it turns out that you are afraid of the dark", he laughed twice, and found that she still did not react, which was too abnormal, and hurriedly asked, "Are you hurt?" Did they hurt you just now? Why don't you speak, I...... I'm worried about your ......"
"Hongli", she blurted out softly, "It's good to have you here." ”
He froze, his throat clenching, not knowing what to say. He never thought that this very stubborn and willful Chen Lingxian would actually say such things to him. He couldn't help but put his cheek against her sideburns, and said pityingly, "Yes, with me with you, don't be afraid." ”
She closed her eyes tiredly and leaned against his chest, his heartbeat ringing in her ears, echoing in her groggy mind, shattering the dream even more.
The coffin was carried all the way smoothly, and the guards at the city gate were unlucky, and they did not open the coffin for inspection, and they left the capital very smoothly. When they arrived at the outskirts of the city, it was completely dark, and the two coffins were carried to the foot of a barren mountain, and Feng Niang was faintly heard shouting, "I brought people here."
Someone walked over slowly and patted the lid of the coffin containing Hongli and zero tears.
"Do you want to do it now?" Feng Niang asked.
Zero Tears, who was lying inside, heard this, his heart jumped, and he subconsciously leaned into Hongli's arms.
Hongli said in a soft tone, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger." We'll soon find out who's behind it. ”
As he spoke, he heard a scream of "ahhhhh In the midst of the fierce fight, the horse's hooves galloped away, as if someone had fled, and then the angry screams of the woman sounded, and the sword wind whistled and sonorously roared.
"Impossible", Feng Niang exclaimed, unwilling to believe it, "How did you run out?" ”
The sound of the sword groaned again, and after a few moves, Feng Niang's hard breath was accompanied by the anger of being deceived, "You have been acting, cough cough, Master Fu is really a master of Taoguang cultivation", and then spurted out a mouthful of blood.
The lid of the coffin was pushed open, and the moment Zero Tears saw Fu Heng, he unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, slowly got up and jumped out of the coffin, and Hongli then stepped out, and asked in the first sentence, "Did you catch it?" ”
Fu Heng shook his head, "He took advantage of the chaos to ride away on horseback." ”
Zero tears saw that Feng Niang was hit by a sword in the shoulder, her hand was covered by the injury, and the blood kept flowing through her fingers, while the other killers were lying on the ground, all out of breath. She looked at Fu Heng incredulously, "You killed all these people?" Oh my God, when did your martial arts become so powerful? ”
"He can be a first-class guard in front of the emperor, but he is not in vain", Hongli smiled at the corner of his mouth.
She also laughed, it turned out that the person who was really hidden was Fu Heng, but she couldn't figure it out, the coffin lid had been nailed with willow nails, how did he come out?
Fu Heng saw her doubts, raised his hand and pulled out a soft sword from the mezzanine of the green jade belt on his waist, Zero Tears was dumbfounded, the soft sword was faintly glowing even at night, obviously extremely sharp, sharpening iron like mud, not to mention wood. She clapped her hands in amazement, with such a person to protect, she felt safe.
Hongli looked at Feng Niang, frowned slightly, and said, "Look at her injury, Fu Heng, do you have any white medicine?" ”
Fu Heng took out the medicine bag from his arms, stepped forward and touched his chest curiously with zero tears, he awkwardly avoided her hand, "What are you doing here?" ”
"I'll see what you're hiding", she nodded, vaguely letting her touch something else, good fellow, he got out of a treasure chest.
Fu Heng hurriedly escaped from her clutches, tore open the medicine bag, and sprinkled the medicine powder on Feng Niang's wound to temporarily stop her bleeding.
"Who the hell are you?" Hongli stood in front of her with his hands in his hands, his face was solemn, and there seemed to be a sharp light in his eyes.
Feng Niang coughed dryly twice and scolded coldly, "The surname Aixin Jueluo is all insidious and cunning villains. ”
Hongli didn't laugh angrily, "You're right, saints don't eat fireworks in the world." And I love the Xinjueluo family, and I am in charge of the fireworks in the world, so I am naturally not a holy person. ”
Feng Niang was stunned for a moment and snorted, "You are so clever that I can't talk about you." ”
"If you can't say it, you should be honest," he chuckled, not at all recognising the torture of a criminal.
"I ......," she was silent for a moment and sighed, "People like you should know that if we betray our Lord and rebel, the end will be worse than death." If you force me again, I will bite my tongue and cut it off. ”
He was slightly stunned, but he could think of what kind of vicious person the master behind her was. God willing, I hope that person is not the person he is thinking about at the moment. "Feng Niang, you are a good woman, you should have taught your husband and children to honor your in-laws, but now that you have embarked on this road of no return, you must also have your hardships. But life has been in a hurry for decades, and if you don't live for yourself in this life, wouldn't it be in vain? He shook his head, he really felt sorry for her, the ruthless fight in the officialdom should not involve these innocent women, let alone treat them as chess pieces that can be abandoned at any time!
Feng Niang was silent when she heard this, and after a long time, she whispered, "Don't say it, I can't help myself, and I won't tell you anything." ”
Zero tears looked at the two of them not far away, pouting again and again, Ah Si really has a way of dealing with women, even a female man like Feng Niang is about to fall at his feet, no wonder later generations often say that he is "**", according to her, he is simply a "woman killer".
"Fu Heng, take her back to your mansion first. Let me think about it, how to deal with it", he really has to think about it, should this matter be stopped, or will it be turned upside down?
It's just that Zero Tears was a little displeased, "Hey, Fu Heng is obviously my guard, why are you always giving orders to him?" ”
Hongli Rongsheng smiled and said, "It turns out that you are jealous, okay, okay, when I return to the city, I will pay you back immediately." ”
Fu Heng's cheeks were slightly red, and he secretly glanced at her, and suddenly felt that this kind of belonging set off an unprecedented mess in his heart.
