vs 133 Xu Shuxuan's stratagem
A few days ago, Han Ling gave Xu Moxuan a Gu bell, the meaning of this Gu bell is of course not only to appease him and prevent him from entering the palace with her, in fact, during this period of time, Han Ling has always had a bad premonition, that is, the life history of the fifth young master may soon be revealed, once the life experience of the fifth young master is revealed, then the case of the Jiang family associated with him will once again set off a bloody storm in the court and even the whole world.
And the fifth young master will become the emperor's heart thorn, facing the danger of being hunted down and assassinated anytime and anywhere, not only that, but the Xu family of the Duke of Wei will also be implicated because of this......
These were the things that Han Ling was most afraid of and didn't want to see, but the sound of the Gu bell reminded her that she had to think about it......
But if she went to save the fifth young master, what would happen to her mother? She has already laid everything out and is waiting to meet her mother and implement it according to the plan......
Seeing that Han Ling stopped, and his delicate eyebrows were filled with deep worry, Lu Yanzhao couldn't help but ask, "Ah Ling, what's wrong with you?" Why is the face so ugly? β
Han Ling raised his head and glanced at Lu Yanzhao, and couldn't help but have a selfish thought in his heart: Do you want to use him again? Use him against his father?
No, although she knew that Lu Yanzhao would definitely be Lu Bing's weakness, she couldn't use this method of letting their father and son kill each other, and it was extremely unfair to Lu Yanzhao, how could she use this man's feelings for her to hurt him?
But just when she was thinking like this, Lu Yanzhao seemed to see through her thoughts, and took the initiative to ask: "Do you want to save your mother and let her leave the palace forever and return to you, right?" β
Han Ling's heart shook slightly, her eyes were astringent, and she almost wanted to burst into tears, she didn't know that her sparkling clear eyes at the moment made Lu Yanzhao's heart even softer.
"Ah Ling, haven't you thought about it, maybe I can help you with this matter!"
He looked at her and smiled bitterly, "The biggest obstacle you face now is my father, isn't it?" If I helped you get away from my father, wouldn't you feel a little more relaxed? β
Han Ling's heart moved, and she was almost about to nod, however, after thinking for a moment, she shook her head resolutely, looked up at Lu Yan and recalled, "No, my matter must be solved by myself!" β
"Master Lu, if you really want to help me, don't meddle in this matter, act as if you don't know anything!"
After speaking, she actually plucked a green leaf from the branch on the side, put it between the moist lips, closed her eyes lightly, and urged slightly, and after a while, a clear music like a flute flowed from between her lips.
The shade of green filtered the sun, casting colorful shadows on her smooth forehead, and the breeze ruffled her hair, and blew a fallen leaf to her slender snowy neck, and she still closed her eyes and blew a very distant and beautiful song intently.
At this moment, she is wearing a dark blue skirt with the wind, which makes her skin as bright as snow, as if it is made of beautiful jade.
Lu Yanzhao had never seen such a beautiful scene, his eyes had been shining on Han Ling's slender and graceful figure, and his thoughts gradually drifted away with her blowing out of the song, but he didn't realize it at all, just when Han Ling was blowing this song, there was a strong wind around the forest gradually blowing in his face, but in the time of a pillar of incense, several figures rushed into this wood, and knelt down ten steps away from them.
"My subordinates see Miss, what do you have to tell Miss?" A woman in Tsing Yi at the head of the group knelt on the ground and asked.
When this group of people appeared, Lu Yanzhao suddenly opened his eyes and looked at them in surprise.
And Han Ling also put down the green leaves between her lips, and cast a cold gaze on this group of people, these people are also the dead soldiers she secretly adopted, and they were trained by Mama Yu for seven years, in the past seven years, in addition to letting these people find a few medicines for her to cure the illness of the eldest young master, she has never used them to do other things, one is to hide the identities of these people, and the other is to use them in the most critical place.
The song she played just now was her code to call on these dead soldiers, of course, because after the last time she was chased by the assassins, Mama Yu let these dead soldiers secretly follow her, so when the song sounded, these people would rush to her place so quickly.
Han Ling looked at this group of dead soldiers and ordered: "Now that my mother and Concubine Xiang are in the Guangning Bo Mansion, I will let all of you stay and do your best to protect the safety of the two of them, as for the previous plan, suspend all actions and wait for me to come back!" β
The woman in Tsing Yi at the head couldn't help but be surprised, looked at Han Ling with some hesitation and asked, "Miss, where are you going?" β
In fact, they were more worried about Han Ling's safety, which was also the task that Mama Yu repeatedly told and gave them, but they didn't dare to disobey Miss's order, so when they saw Han Ling's firm and cold gaze shining on them, they all bowed their heads and said yes.
And Han Ling didn't stop for a moment, he quickly rushed to the market, bought a horse, and whipped the fast horse and galloped away in the direction of Tongzhou.
Naturally, Lu Yanzhao went with her, although she didn't say anything to Lu Yanzhao, this man still insisted on staying by her side.
However, they didn't notice that just as they were galloping away from the market, a man in black came out of the tea shed and quickly reported their whereabouts to Lu Bing.
After Lu Bing heard the news that the man in black said that Han Ling had also adopted a dead soldier, his face couldn't help but change in an uproar, as if he was a little surprised, and he laughed very appreciatively.
"She is worthy of being the daughter-in-law of my Lu family, and she is so capable in acting!" After he said with a sneer, he lowered his face again, and ordered the man in black, "Send a group of people to continue to follow her and Childe, no matter where they go or who they see, as long as you see someone sending anything to that girl, bring me back with people and things!" β
From the day he forced Han Ling to marry Lu Yan, he sent people to keep an eye on Han Ling's whereabouts at all times, because he firmly believed that it would not be long before someone would hand over what he wanted to Han Ling, so he would not let go of a private opportunity!
The man in black replied decisively, looked at Lu Bing again, and asked in a low voice, "My lord, if Gongzi stops his subordinates from acting for the sake of the young lady, what should the subordinates do?" β
Lu Bing's face sank suddenly, and the eyes of his son in Yimei Yuan looking at him instantly flashed in his mind, and that look was so cold and disappointed with a hint of absoluteness.
He knew Lu Yanzhao's sentence, "If you want Ah Ling's life, I will never allow it!" What does it mean, although it is a sentence that is not light or serious, but it shows the heart of this son's determination, he is going to turn against his father for the sake of a girl!
Lu Bing sneered at himself, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly pressed his palm heavily on the table.
"I don't care what you do, you have to get that thing back for me, if necessary, even if you kill that girl, it doesn't matter, as for Childe, send more people, aren't you still his opponent alone?" He said.
The man in black looked tight, and immediately replied, "Yes, my subordinates understand!" β
*****
Today is the Duanyang Festival, many scholars in the capital have gathered together, or poetry and wine exchanges, or horseback hunting, the bustling streets are filled with a festive atmosphere, the moat is organized to race dragon boats and kite activities, the scale of this activity is very large, it is said that the eldest princess and Lu Jingfei jointly organized, many famous nobles in the young ladies who have not come out of the cabinet have followed the housewife to come here.
The ladies are naturally not here simply to join in the fun, in fact, before this event was launched, there was a topic among the girls, that is, in this event, Lu Jingfei's participation is likely to be for King Jing's selection of concubines, who doesn't know that King Jing is now seventeen years old but not married, and most of the royal heirs have already had wives at his age, especially King Yu now has his own son, if King Jing wants to take the heir with King Yu, the heirs are also a comparison, at this point, Concubine Lu Jing will inevitably be anxious for her son.
Therefore, the arrival of the girls is actually to seize the opportunity to show their style and talent, so as to attract the eyes of Concubine Lu Jing, looking forward to being selected to marry King Jing.
"If I can marry King Jing, let alone be a princess, or a side concubine, or even a concubine, I am willing!" Some girls even said this to their companions without shyness.
And King Jing, who is what the girls are eager to see, doesn't seem to show up by the moat, and among all the sons of the family on the dragon boat, there is no figure like a fairy.
What made the girls feel strange was that not only did King Jing never appear, but even Lu Yanzhao, who was famous in the capital, the prince of Wei, the fifth young master of Xu, and Lu Yanzhao, who was known as the king of Xiaoyan, did not participate in this dragon boat race.
It is understandable that the prince of Wei is seriously ill, but the fifth young master Xu did not even show up, it is not too bad to give face to the eldest princess, after all, the eldest princess is still the head of the Wei mansion.
When the girls were talking, the eldest princess was sitting in the pergola drinking tea and chatting with Concubine Lu Jing, but just when they were chatting energetically, Xu Mingyan suddenly hurried over and said a word in the eldest princess's ear, so the eldest princess's face changed greatly, Huo Ran got up, and after saying a word of apology to Concubine Lu Jing, she hurriedly left the pergola.
"What did you say, your eldest brother is gone?" The eldest princess asked in surprise.
Xu Mingyan was so anxious that tears oozed from his eyes, and he nodded again and again: "Yes, I can't find the eldest brother in the Yulou, and my daughter also went to the palace to inquire, he has never stayed in the palace since he went to the early court today, mother, do you say that something will happen to the eldest brother?" He couldn't walk, and where could he go if Nan Chu wasn't by his side to take care of him and protect him? β
The eldest princess was suspicious when she heard this, and couldn't help but sneer, Xu Shuxuan's feet were disabled and couldn't walk, this was just a cover to deceive her for many years, a good Duanyang Festival, if he didn't stay in the mansion well, where would he go? Or is he plotting something?
Suddenly a question came to mind, and the eldest princess asked, "How do you know that Nan Chu is not by his side?" β
Xu Mingyan replied casually: "He asked Nan Chu to go to Tongzhou with all the secret guards to protect the fifth brother, and now there is no secret guard by his side, mother, I am worried about his ......" Speaking of this, Xu Mingyan's voice paused slightly, and he looked at the eldest princess with some fear.
If the eldest brother didn't have a secret guard by his side, would his mother also take this opportunity to kill him?
Xu Mingyan suddenly regretted saying what he said just now, and hurriedly begged again: "Mother, at this time, the eldest brother can't have an accident, I beg you to find him no matter what, and ensure his safety!" β
The eldest princess asked, "Mingyan, are you hiding something from me?" What is your fifth brother doing in Tongzhou? Why did Shu Xuan send all the secret guards to protect him? β
Xu Mingyan's eyes darkened, and a trace of guilt suddenly rose in his heart, speaking of which, she is also to blame for this matter, it was she who betrayed all the words that the eldest brother said to the mysterious woman, and now the mysterious woman must also take a group of people to Tongzhou, could it be that the eldest brother had long expected that someone would snatch the book with the fifth brother, so he would have a secret guard to protect the safety of the fifth brother?
So, where did he go now?
*****
No one knew where he went, not even Nan Chu and Xu Moxuan.
When Han Ling and Lu Yanzhao rushed to the Tongzhou Grand Canal, there had already been a thrilling battle, corpses were all over the ground, and together with the wind and waves on the river, there was a thick bloody breath coming to the nose.
Xu Moxuan's blue clothes were stained with blood, and he seemed to be seriously injured, but he still stood upright in the wind, looking at the empty box on the ground, he couldn't help but laugh out loud!
Everyone looked at the empty box in a daze, and he was the only one who laughed very happily.
In fact, even he couldn't imagine that this was a bureau set up by the eldest brother, and this bureau not only deceived him, but even Nan Chu!
"On the Duanyang Festival on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, I want you to go to Tongzhou and help me get something back!"
"If we get something like this, we can make Lu Bing take the initiative to withdraw from Lu Yanzhao's relationship with Ah Ling!"
He finally got such a thing, but found that there was nothing in the box, in fact, there was nothing, but it was this empty box that attracted a group of Japanese to snatch it.
There was also an enemy he didn't expectβthat was the girl with a little cinnabar on her eyebrows that he met in King Jing's Mansion that day.
At this moment, this girl was also injured, and was looking at him with angry and unwilling eyes, and sneered: "Xu Moxuan, it seems that you are just a chess piece used by your eldest brother, using you as bait to lure us here, fighting and losing both, you can still laugh!" Is it so pleasant to be taken advantage of? β
Xu Moxuan gently wiped the blush on the corner of his lips, spit out a mouthful of blood, squinted and smiled: "Then let's see who is being used, or is it worth being used?" If you can catch a few fish as big as yours and still play around with you, of course, it's a cool feeling! β
The girl was even more annoyed when she heard this, and immediately pulled out a short knife in her hand, wanting to fight Xu Moxuan again, but at this moment, a sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, she looked up, and when she saw the two figures on horseback, a pair of seductive eyes couldn't help but shrink!
It's her! She actually came, it's okay, it's better to use her as a condition for exchanging with Xu Shuxuan, let him exchange the book, she doesn't believe that this talented man with unparalleled wisdom can play any tricks! (To be continued.) )
