Chapter Eighty-Four: The Grass Layman
"I've never seen so many hydrangeas." Zhao Shu took two more steps towards the Moon Gate, but Ran Zhen Qizhong quietly blocked the way.
Zhao Shu chuckled and looked him straight in the eyes, "Can't you see it?" ”
"This is my mother's retreat, and she doesn't want to see you." Without concealing this, the temper in Zhao Shu's heart was forcefully suppressed.
She walked a few more steps, and it wasn't until Zhen Qizhong's face slowly turned cold that she smiled and said, "It's okay if you don't see me, so Uncle Shi sues me, how can I leave?" ”
"Look, I look like I can help you?" He spread his hands and said helplessly.
"It's true that the heart is more than enough, but the strength is insufficient."
While speaking, a woman had already walked out of the snow house, and she also held a teapot and teacup in her hand, "Distinguished guests come to the door, there is nothing to entertain, these are a few kinds of tea used in the countryside, I hope you don't dislike it." ”
Her appearance is actually very ordinary, not as much as Su Qiu, let alone Zhao Shu, when everyone is very good-looking, she was highlighted, it is too ordinary.
"Sister house, sister-in-law." A brief introduction to the seven folds.
Zhao Shu looked at the lady scrutinically, only to see her put the tray on the stone table, and then began to pour tea, although her appearance was extremely ordinary, but she had a pair of beautiful hands, if there were no calluses on her hands, it would be perfect.
Glancing at Wei Tingsi, Zhao Shu saluted politely, "Uncle Shi." ”
"No, I'm just a child picked up by my mother, and I can't compare to the county lord's mother." The words were extremely sincere, but Zhao Shu heard sarcasm.
The words were inappropriate, Zhen Qizhong was busy playing the round, "You don't care, Auntie is like this, she can't speak, but she actually has a very good heart." ”
Zhao Shu smiled and didn't answer, but her eyes kept looking at the tea, which was a tea she had never seen, and she could vaguely see that there were petals.
Sister's attention didn't seem to be on Zhao Shu's body, and she scolded Su Qiu coldly: "Why are you still here? ”
Su Qiu was scolded by her, her face turned pale, and she looked at Zhao Shu, Zhao Shu happened to look at her as well, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.
"Sister, it's some people from outside, Su Qiu can't leave." Zhen Qizhong was a little helpless, and it could be seen that such a reprimand was not once or twice.
Su Qiu cast a grateful gaze at Zhen Qizhong, and there was a strong emotion in his eyes, but he was suffocated by the cold snort of his sister.
Suddenly, several arrows broke through the air, Wei Tingsi dodged Zhao Shu extremely quickly, just like Fang Cai, Xiao Tong saved Zhen Qizhong, Xiao Guozi took Su Qiu a hand, but no one paid attention to it.
No one paid attention to it, she was hit by an arrow in the arm, and after being hit by the arrow, she glanced at Zhen Qizhong angrily, and turned back to Xueju.
But as soon as she walked to the door of the snow house, several arrows seemed to have eyes, and went straight to her heart, Zhao Shu wanted to remind her, but she stood straight as if she was deliberately looking for death, and let the arrows penetrate her body.
The tragedy came too suddenly, and it was too weird, and everyone was stunned for a moment, except for Zhen Qiju who fainted as if she was extremely sad.
Su Qiu's face turned pale with fright, and he clutched Xiao Guozi's sleeve tightly, not daring to leave an inch.
"Childe, Childe." The little boy pinched the sevenfold middleman, fortunately he woke up slowly, and when the little boy saw him wake up, he cried with joy, and rushed into the snow house with him in his arms.
"This ......" Xiao Guozi felt that the situation was very weird, how could this be like a special game to kill Na Er, and that Ji Er knew about it, but she didn't want to live.
However, this weirdness was quickly broken, Zhao Shu has been paying attention to the entrance of the Snow House, and after Zhen Qizhong entered, it didn't take long for Zhao Bi to come out of it.
Zhao Bi kicked the still dead Auntie on the ground, his eyebrows flashed, and his disgust was overflowing, Sister's opened her eyes and looked at him, laughed at herself, didn't say anything, and closed her eyes again, just a relieved look on her face, which made Wei Tingsi squint.
Seeing Zhao Bi, Zhao Shu didn't feel weird, she sneered, "The Four Emperor Brothers are really good at it, the emperor has clearly issued a holy decree, and the Four Emperor Brothers can chase Jiangnan and come so fast." ”
Zhao Bi put his hands behind his back, dressed in a green robe, "Sister Ajun, Brother Huang really doesn't want to kill you, General Hewei." ”
"Brother Four Emperors' self-confidence seems to be a little inexplicable, I don't know what you are going to do to kill me and him?" Zhao Shu faced Zhao Bi face to face for the first time, and now that she has met her, she doesn't want to hide it, and she has a real knife and a real gun to fight in the open.
Zhao Bi didn't answer, but looked at Zhao Shu and Wei Tingsi playfully, "I have no grievances with Sister Ajun, I don't know why Sister Ajun wants to send someone to spy on me?" Against me at every turn. ”
"Now is the time when there is no injustice and no hatred, I'm afraid it's too late, I'm just trying to save my life, the four emperor brothers ask themselves, if you ascend the throne, will you treat the Yongwang Mansion well? Give me and my father a good end, when it comes to this, the fourth emperor brother doesn't have to lie to me. ”
Zhao Bi smiled, looked at Zhao Shu and shook his head, "You, you, what are you good about, fortunately you are not a man, otherwise brother, I don't know how much work it will take to deal with you." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, what does the Fourth Emperor Brother want to do with me?" Zhao Shu was not timid at all, and looked at Zhao Bi without fear.
"It's a little early, when Uncle Nineteen and your friend Sun Yun are brought over, you, with the prince, Uncle Nineteen, Sun Yun, and then go on the road together, Sister Ajun doesn't say that the elder brother is not emotional, every year during Qingming, the elder brother will send someone to burn paper for you." He remembered that Zhao Shu sent people to spy on him, sabotaged him to marry Sun Yun, ruined the Sun family, abolished the Wang family and King Duan, and killed Uncle Hao Guo's father and son, and his heart burned with anger.
There is also this Wei Tingsi, originally he was just an outsider and didn't have to participate in the seizure of the heir, but this guy didn't spare his life and had to be involved, so don't blame him for being ruthless!
It just so happened that he didn't have any soldiers in his hands, so if he killed him and took over the military power, why worry about not getting the throne?
Zhao Shu's expression remained unchanged, still extremely calm, "The four emperor brothers don't know that King Jing and King Shu are rebelling now?" You killed General Wei, who helped the emperor rehabilitate? ”
"A few imperial uncles don't have to worry about Sister Ajun, Sister Ajun still has to worry about herself." As he spoke, this small courtyard was surrounded by people in black, "General Wei, as long as you agree to be His Royal Highness's right-hand man, His Royal Highness will not treat you lightly. ”
He said that his eyes fell on Zhao Shu, "Sister Ajun, if you want, His Royal Highness can promise to let her go, leave it to you, play as you like, don't care about her royal bloodline identity, Your Highness will not blame you, and even frowns." ”
Wei Tingsi's face was as cold as winter snow in an instant when he heard this, and the murderous aura on his body seemed to turn into substance, and the sword was just rubbed on the stone table at will, and the stone table turned into powder in an instant.
Sudden force, Zhao Bi was startled, Zhao Shu hurriedly stopped Wei Tingsi, but he couldn't stop it, he lowered his head and said distressedly: "If anyone insults you and bullies you, I will arrest him and let you return it a thousand times, I don't know how to treat you well, the only thing I can do is to have a lot of strength, don't stop me, others bully you and insult you, I feel distressed." ”
"Tsk, that's touching." Zhao Bi said mockingly on the other side, and clapped his hands cracklingly, "Since you want to die so much, Your Highness is not welcome." ”
He raised his hand, and the black-clothed people around him instantly filled the bowstring, but a man walked out of the moon gate, it was none other than Zhen Qizhong, who was so weak that the wind was about to fall.
He was holding a sword in his hand, the sword was very thin, Zhao Shu couldn't recognize the sword, but Wei Tingsi recognized it, it was a soft sword.
"I just let you go, you have to go." He seems to be making excuses for killing, just like eating braised rabbit meat that day in Xia Guang, and saying to the rabbit before eating, 'Let you be a rabbit, let me meet, if you are not a rabbit, if you are not met by me, I will not kill.'" ’
Zhao Shu sneered, today she has become a turtle caught in the urn, but who will kill the deer, it is not certain.
Wei Tingsi didn't talk much, he never found a messy reason before killing, as soon as he threw the long sword in his hand, the scabbard was thrown out, and he went straight to the door of the opposite Zhen Sevenfold, "Too much nonsense." ”
Zhen Qizhong's face sank, his eyes rubbed with murderous intent, and he stepped on the steps that Zhao Shu and Zhao Bi didn't understand, and greeted Wei Tingsi.
It's hard to imagine that a sick and weak boy can dance his sword dazzlingly, he is so fast that outsiders can't tell how many moves he has made with the naked eye.
Wei Tingsi's speed is also very fast, and his moves are much simpler, and his moves are deadly, not even half fancy.
The two fought no less than a hundred moves, and the hydrangea in the courtyard was slashed off by the sword qi and flew away, making this killing game inexplicably beautiful.
Suddenly, Zhen Qizhong screamed, poofed, and was kicked to the ground by Wei Tingsi, his thin body, like a piece of residual lotus, fell to the ground, blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and the soft sword in his hand broke inch by inch.
"Little Seven!" Zhao Bi's face changed greatly, he couldn't care too much, he hurriedly helped Zhen Qizhong personally, and his hand touched the blood on his body, "Xiao Qi......" He looked at his hand tremblingly, "Xiao Qi, you hold on, Xiao Qi, you must hold on, I won't let you die, I won't let you die." ”
He said incoherently, the worry on his face Zhao Shu had never seen before, at this moment, it seemed that the air was infected by him, and he was worried to the extreme.
Zhen Qizhong lay in his arms, holding his arm with difficulty, "Your Highness......" A mouthful of blood spurted out, he paused, and slowed down for a while before he could speak again, "Your Highness, don't ...... Tube...... I...... Let's go......"
"No, Xiao Qi, I won't leave you, never! You hold on to me, don't die, I don't let you die, don't you hear! ”
From Zhao Shu's point of view, he saw that Zhao Bi was crying, just now he was still in high spirits, threatening to kill Wei Tingsi, kill her, his father and Sun Yun, he was so confident, but he was crying at this time.
In his memory, whether it was in his previous life or in this life, Zhao Bi had never lost his temper, even if he occasionally needed to lose his temper, he just pretended to be and acted for others.
However, at this time, he was crying, although there was only a tear, but he was really crying!
"Your Highness, I've always wanted to ...... Think...... Do something, I ...... I can also ride in the sand...... field. He said in fits and starts, blood from the corners of his mouth and chin, but a satisfied smile on his face.
Slowly, he slowly closed his eyes, as if he was extremely sleepy, "Xiao Qi!" Little Seven! Zhao Bi looked loudly, wanting to shake the person in his arms awake, but he didn't dare to shake it, for fear of shaking him who was as thin as a porcelain doll.
A man in black walked over and stretched out his hand to probe Zhen's sevenfold snort, "Your Highness, Gongzi is still alive, please allow your subordinates to take him to heal." ”
Wei Tingsi withdrew his sword, and as soon as he walked to Zhao Shu's side, Zhao Bi raised his head, he didn't pay attention to the man in black, but said with red eyes: "Kill me!" ”
With his order, the bowstring in the hand of the man in black was full again, and with a bang, countless arrow feathers broke through the air, and the screams came one after another, Zhao Shu looked back and found that Su Xiu and others had arrived, including Xia Guang with a team of archers, and Zhao Bi's people were removed in an instant.
The change came too quickly, Zhao Bi was stunned for a moment, he slowly stood up, sneered, and before he could speak, Zhao Shu took the lead, "Fourth Emperor Brother, my 'uncle' is really good, you can make so many moves under Chang'an, you are actually not ashamed to lose." ”
As early as when she saw the Hydrangea, Zhao Shu raised her vigilance, she went to the south of the Yangtze River, the main purpose was just to solve the matter of the mother concubine, to understand the matter of Empress Yide, so that she could deal with Hao Guifei, Emperor Mingde protected Hao Shumei, she could not reach out to deal with her uncle's woman.
The queen was helpless, Emperor Mingde clearly loved Empress Yide more, and even indulged Hao Shumei, and Empress Yide had an inexplicable relationship with Zhao Bi.
The cutting of the feudal domain will begin, and the world will usher in a period of chaos, she will never believe that Zhao Bi will obediently wait for the end of the cutting of the feudal domain before competing for the throne, to put it bluntly, Emperor Mingde will not be tough for a few years.
And the troubled times are the best time to make contributions, and those who let the opportunity slip away are stupid, but Zhao Bi is not.
Therefore, after arriving in Jiangnan, she did not come to see Yukusa for the first time, but chose to visit Emperor Mingde before leaving after Emperor Mingde ordered to lead troops into Beijing.
Just outside the door, she was already alert to the fact that something was wrong, but the monk didn't see her, and she had no choice but to do it.
Unexpectedly, she really met Zhao Bi, over the years, although she and Zhao Bi have secretly fought each other, there is no direct conflict, and she does not have a deep understanding of his strength.
How can it be so simple to kick off the princes and princes and ascend to the throne?
However, she is not afraid.
There is nothing happier in this world than sweeping, Hao Shumei has something to rely on, she once swore that she must snatch it, and Zhao Bi, a prince who wants to be the emperor, he must have a lot of silver and weapons, these are not dispensable.
"Huh, lose? Sister Ajun, don't you think you're going to win? Zhao Bi looked at Zhao Shu mockingly, the only remaining man in black wanted to pick up Zhen Qizhong, but he stopped him, personally picked up Zhen Qizhong, and looked back coldly, "Don't you want to see the layman, Sister Ajun, I hope you don't regret seeing it." ”
"The Fourth Emperor Brother regrets it." Zhao Bi's words really made her angry, and when she found an opportunity at this time, she naturally wouldn't be polite, but before she could finish the unfinished words in her mouth, an old woman appeared at the moon gate.
The old woman was walking with a bamboo cane, although she was old, she was not hunchbacked, or sloppy, but an extremely spiritual old lady, and she came out with a young man of about thirty.
The young man's face was seven or eight points similar to Ouyang Ping, and he also wanted to take the Zhen Qizhong from Zhao Bi's hands, but Zhao Bi was still unwilling, and entered the Moon Gate with Zhen Qizhong, the young man glanced at Zhao Shu coldly, followed behind Zhao Bi, and disappeared into the Moon Gate after a while.
Seeing this young man, Zhao Shu understood everything.
"I didn't expect you to dare to come." The old woman said that it was obvious that she was a grass layman, but she did not give Zhao Shu's ancestor warmth, but a strange coldness.
"The flowers are blooming well." Zhao Shu said, "Are you waiting for me to ask, or do you take the initiative to sue me." "If others don't give a good face, she naturally doesn't have the big heart to smile and greet people.
"Bastard, who taught you to talk to your elders so rudely!" The knotted grass monk scolded her angrily, and the coldness in his eyes made Zhao Shu feel cold and biting.
People outside said that Yukusa was a very learned person, a teacher of her mother's concubine, and she thought that this must be an extremely kind old man.
Just now Zhao Bi said, 'Don't regret seeing it. At this time, Zhao Shu didn't know whether to regret it, or laugh at herself, or be angry.
"I used honorifics." Zhao Shu's eyes fell on her feet, at this time her sister-in-law had lost her breath and her soul returned to the underworld, and the knotted grass monk who was said to be her adoptive mother did not feel a trace of sadness, and some were just silent and ignored.
Yukusa's eyes ached, and her feelings were well hidden, no one noticed it except herself, and the cane in her hand stomped on the ground, "You are the same as her, just as lawless!" ”
Zhao Shu recalled, what did she do? Why did this old man speak ill of each other as soon as they met, as the teacher of the concubine, she really didn't expect her to treat herself as a granddaughter, she didn't expect her to treat herself as a granddaughter, but she didn't expect it to be so cold.
"I am also a student, I am afraid that you prefer Empress Yide to my mother, even so, I have to wonder if you have done anything with the death of your mother."
"You don't want to spew blood." The monk struck the ground with his cane again, as if he were extremely angry.
Zhao Shu had a cold face, in her life, in her father's life, all the misfortunes started from the death of her mother's concubine, maybe there was also the reason why her father wanted to participate in the change, and Jiang Yue was jealous, but if the Yucao monk who was a teacher held the trump card of Empress Yide in his hand, let Emperor Mingde keep his mother, he would not be able to keep it! A fresh life, a life that should have been wanton, and a happy ending, died early.
Of course, Zhao Shu was not selfish enough to blame anyone for this, she just wanted to know who was behind it.
She won't let go of any of these people!
"If my mother didn't die, my father wouldn't be ridiculous, and I still have my own brothers, and in the past few years, I wouldn't be ignorant and let others bully." will not die tragically later, and be a stepping stone for others stupidly.
In fact, many things, when you are still young, when your values have not yet been established, someone will guide and teach you, and things will be much better.
"Do I have blood spewing people, you sue me, you are my mother's teacher, please don't lie to me, it's very contemptible." (To be continued.) )
