522. Assassin status
It was getting late, and Emperor Taichu directly dismissed everyone at the gate of the palace and went home. Naturally, someone will investigate the matter of the assassins www.biquge.info Pen, Fun, and Pavilion, but they can't afford to let a few princes and princes stay up all night to do these things. If you have to do everything yourself, what do you want those courtiers to do? Looking up at the somewhat dim moonlight in the sky, the two walked side by side on the street and strolled in the direction of the Chu Palace. The two hands were clasped with each other, and while walking back, Nangong Mo looked sideways at Wei Junmo's air pressure, which was obviously a little lower than usual, and raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong?" Still thinking about the Assassins? Wei Junmo glanced at her sideways and shook his head slightly. Nangong Mo was curious, "Why is that?" Wei Junmo looked her up and down and said, "Flawless dancing, it's very beautiful." ”
Nangong Mo suddenly realized, she seems, probably, once promised someone to only jump to show him alone?
"Are you angry?" Nangong Mo glanced at him, and there was no emotion on his handsome face without the slightest flaw. After being silent for a while, Wei Junmo said, "No." ”
"Not like that." Nangong Mo tilted his head to meet his eyes, blinked and smiled: "Okay, it's not right for me to lose faith in you, it's okay for you to be angry." ”
Wei Junmo sighed lightly, his purple eyes gentle, "No, I'm just not happy to let so many people see the flawless dancing." Nangong Mo approached his arms and laughed, "Don't think I'm amazing, most people are looking at Princess Lingxiang, people are really dancing well, we can be regarded as indiscriminate." Only you are regarded as a treasure, His Royal Highness the King of Chu, your vision is not very good? ”
Wei Junmo hugged her, "It is recognized by everyone in the whole world that even if His Royal Highness the King of Chu is not good, his vision is the best." ”
Nangong Mo couldn't help laughing, blinked and said, "Okay, even if you don't have a good eye, I won't dislike you." After all, disliking your vision is the same as disliking myself. I'm a proud man. A faint smile flashed in Wei Junmo's deep purple eyes, and Nangong Mo turned around and withdrew from his arms and hugged his neck from behind. If ordinary people dare to do such a dangerous action, even if they don't break their souls, they will lose half their lives on the spot. But Wei Junmo naturally supported her body with his backhand and let her hang on himself.
"I've been a little busy today, I'm so tired." Nangong Mo sighed.
"Then don't move, carry you back." Wei Junmo said lightly, holding Nangong Mo behind him with both hands, and walked unhurriedly in the direction of the Chu Palace. Behind him, the wide, empty street left only two faint silhouettes.
In the dark, the guards looked at the two men on the empty street, each glancing at each other. If you have the ambition to forget that there is such a thing as a carriage, the Hengzhu Chu Mansion is not very far from the palace, so don't move the people like this.
The relationship between the prince and the princess is really good.
The next morning, when Nangong Mo opened his eyes, it was still dark outside. Wei Junmo had already gotten up and was freshening up, and the few girls waiting beside him were standing respectfully with warm towels and other things, but they didn't mean to wait like ordinary powerful families. After waiting by the side of the prince and princess for many days, they have long understood that if they go up to offer their hospitality at this time, not only will it be impossible to get a reward and the blue eyes of the master, but they will probably be driven out directly. The palace of the king of Chu, especially the prince's side, does not need to be considerate and considerate of the maid with red sleeves and fragrance, but only needs the girl who is responsible.
What's more, what are their hues that can be called beautiful in the eyes of ordinary people, but what are they in front of the beautiful and vulgar princess? Even the Qu steward next to the princess and the sisters who served the princess in the past are not as good. It's better for An An to do what he should do, the Chu Wangfu is still very generous to his subordinates.
Nangong Mo sat up and yawned slightly. Wei Junmo walked back to the edge of the bed and sat down after freshening up, and reached out to pull up the quilt that had slipped off her shoulders for her, "But I'm still tired, let's sleep a little longer." ”
Nangong Mo rolled his eyes at him: Who is she for?
Behind him, the girl came over to pull Wei Junmo's hair. Nangong Mo leaned on the bed and watched, and asked a little lazily: "It's so early today, do you want to go to court?" ”
Wei Junmo shook his head, "I haven't been in court for the past two days, but my father must ask about the assassin last night." Tomorrow is Halloween, so these two days are going to be a bit busy. ”
Nangong Mo snorted lightly, "When are you not busy?" ”
Wei Junmo was silent, he has indeed been very busy since his father ascended the throne. Nangong Mo actually just complained casually, they are still young and don't do much, do they want the two of them to stay together every day? Even if Wei Junmo can stand it, she is afraid that she will not be able to bear it.
"By the way, I left the third sibling and Yan'er over there last night, are they okay?" Nangong Mo thought about it and felt a little guilty.
Wei Junmo didn't care, "If there is something, someone will already come to tell you." "There's no news yet, apparently I'm going back safely. Nangong Mo nodded, "That's right, Princess Lingxiang and Princess Dongzhu are still a little stretched out, and nothing will happen if you think about it." Wei Junmo asked, "That Shao Fang last night?" Is it the son of the current Keshi? ”
Nangong Mo nodded, and suddenly became a little more energetic, "Shao Fang is a popular person in today's department, a famous talent in Quzhou, I have tested him a few times, but his temperament is good, and he is very suitable for being an official." But what the ability is will depend on. "At least just looking at the heart, this person is several times stronger than that Lingzhou genius Jiang Zhicheng.
Wei Junmo nodded, indicating that he had written it down.
Nangong Mo said: "However, this person seems to have some grievances with the Zhao family. ”
"The Zhao family?" There are many people surnamed Zhao in Jinling, and there is also a place for the Zhao family among the top ten families in Jinling, so Wei Junmo doesn't know which Zhao family she is talking about.
Nangong Mo waved his hand, "It has nothing to do with the Zhao family, Qianwei's newly married side concubine Fengzheng Doctor Zhao's family." ”
Wei Junmo thought for a while, "I'll ask someone to check it when I go back." "Nangong Mo was ordered to check the matter of this year's move, and he also knew about it, since this Shao Fang made her praise so much, he was obviously a talent. Now that the imperial court continues to replenish new blood, the most important thing is that the newcomers who have not defected to a certain faction and are completely loyal to His Majesty naturally have to check the bottom of Shao Fang first.
Nangong Mo said: "Don't be busy, I'll send someone." ”
Wei Junmo didn't care, nodded and said, "It's okay." ”
Waving his hand to let the girl who was arranging her crown stand down, Wei Junmo stood up and said, "I'm in the palace first, you can rest for a while." ”
Nangong Mo nodded with a smile, and hooked his finger towards him with a bright smile. Wei Junmo's purple eyes dimmed slightly, and he bent down to her, "What else do you want to say?" ”
Nangong Mo stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around his neck, looked up and gave him a kiss by the way, and said with a smile: "Don't be too tired." ”
Wei Junmo squinted, "Flawless ......" Nangong Mo smiled, he had already let go of him and rolled into the bed with the quilt, waved his hand at him and smiled sweetly, "Let's go, don't let my father wait for a while." Wei Gongzi was silent for a long time, and finally stood up and walked out.
The interaction between the two masters here naturally did not hide the eyes of a few girls in the house, and everyone hurriedly lowered their heads and did not dare to look at it again. When Wei Junmo left, Nangong Mo lay on the bed alone and enjoyed himself for a while before getting up slowly.
"Princess, it's still early, do you want to sleep for a while?" The girl stepped forward and said respectfully.
Nangong Mo shook his head and said, "Forget it, just wake up when you wake up." There's a lot going on today. ”
"Yes, Princess."
Sure enough, he was waited by the girl and got up, and just after he finished breakfast, someone came to say, "Steward Qu, the commander of Xingwei and Lord Qin of the Tianfu, and the general of the five cities and horses Si Nangong ask to see you." Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, "How did they all get together, let them all go to the study." ”
When I entered the study, everyone was already sitting and drinking tea and waiting. Seeing Nangong Mo coming in, he hurriedly got up and saluted.
"Excuse me, no need to be polite." Nangong Mo looked at Nangong Xu with a smile and said, "Big brother, why did you come here so early?" "Nangong Xu is in charge of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and now there are many people coming and going in Jinling, and there are many things to prepare for the marriage date, except for meeting yesterday, I didn't even have time to speak, Nangong Mo hasn't seen Nangong Xu for some days.
"And Lord Qin, you are Ying Tianfu Yin, and you are also running to me? Jun Mo has entered the palace. Nangong Mo said.
Qin Zixu smiled kindly, "The princess doesn't know about the assassins... His Majesty ordered Ying Tianfu and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to handle it, uh... His Royal Highness the King of Chu and several princes have been very busy in the past two days, so His Majesty said that this matter will still bother the princess. ”
Nangong Mo was speechless, she was obviously a daughter-in-law and not a son. Does His Majesty the Emperor still remember the decree issued by the first emperor himself that the harem should not interfere in politics? Of course, she's not a harem, but it's a backyard, right?
"I ......" Nangong Mo thought about what kind of wording to use to refuse, more tactfully, to refuse the envoy of His Majesty the Emperor who did not pay him.
Qin Zixu smiled very happily: "Your Majesty said that the princess has worked hard in the past few days, and after Enke is over, he will give His Royal Highness the King of Chu a holiday, as well as the treasures paid tribute by various countries, and the princess has time to go to the treasure house in the palace to choose ten pieces to play with." ”
"......" father really knows how to use people. Nangong Mo also knows how to accept it when she sees it, and the idea of filial piety is greater than the sky, even if His Majesty the Emperor doesn't give a dime to send his daughter-in-law, she still has to do it obediently. Nodding slightly, Princess Chu was as humble as ever, "It is an honor for me to trust my father, and I will naturally do my best." ”
After the idle talk, it is time to get to the point.
Nangong Mo asked, "What clues did you have about last night?" ”
Nangong Xu frowned slightly, and said, "Most of the assassins who were captured last night committed suicide, and the few people left behind failed to ask for any useful news. ”
"Central Plains?"
Nangong Xu shook his head slightly, "No, Beiyuan people." ”
Beiyuan people? Nangong Mo's heart jumped, so many Northern Yuan people silently mixed into the Jinling Imperial City? In this way, the dark line that Gong Yuchen left in the court at the beginning is still not clear and clean? Or is there someone else who is connected to the Beiyuan people? No matter what kind of Nangong Mo is, no matter what era or form of government, there has never been a shortage of people who eat inside and outside since ancient times. She thinks the latter is more likely. Even if Gong Yuchen still has a dark line, he shouldn't have time to take care of Jinling now.
"What about Ying Tianfu?" Nangong Mo asked.
Qin Zixu said: "The servants of Ying Tianfu found out the location of the two other parties' footholds in Jinling City last night, but the building has already been emptied. At present, I am still checking the people in the vicinity to see if I can ask anyone who has interacted with these people in the past few days. Nangong Mo nodded, that is, there was no clue either.
It's easy to catch the Assassins, but it's hard to find out who is behind them.
Nangong Mo looked sideways at Xingwei and asked, "Xingwei, where are these people coming from?" Does it have anything to do with Gong Yuchen? ”
Xing Wei shook his head and said: "These people are very good at archery, some of the assassins are from the Central Plains, but their martial arts are messy, and it is difficult to compare with the well-trained killer organization, it should have nothing to do with the Water Pavilion, but whether it has anything to do with Gong Yuchen...... Qu Lianxing said: "It should have little to do with Gong Yuchen, this morning there was news from Zi Yan's side, and now Gong Yuchen is busy fighting with the King of the Northern Yuan, I am afraid that there is not much effort to touch the Central Plains." Moreover, if it is Gong Yuchen, the plan should be more thorough. ”
Nangong Mo nodded and said, "What else is there from Zi Yan?" ”
Qu Lianxing said: "Zi Yan said that many people in the rivers and lakes have entered Jinling recently, and she has secretly sent people to pay attention. But now people from all walks of life are rushing to Jinling, and there is a shortage of manpower, and she can't find out what these people want to do for a while. Most of the people in the rivers and lakes are also afraid of the prestige of the prince, and they don't seem to plan to do anything. But I don't know if there will be any unborn masters sneaking into Jinling secretly. ”
Nangong Mo frowned, keenly feeling a hint of strangeness at this news. After thinking for a while, he said: "Tell Zi Yan that you must try to find out the intentions of these people in the rivers and lakes." If there is no malice, it is the best, otherwise it will ...... "Then the Central Plains rivers and lakes are afraid that they will inevitably wither for dozens or hundreds of years."
Qu Lianxing nodded yes.
Qin Zixu frowned, "People in the rivers and lakes? "Qin Zixu is from a family, although he also knows characters like Xian Ge Gongzi who are considered people in the rivers and lakes, but whether it is his own background or the position of onlookers, he doesn't like people in the rivers and lakes. Isn't there a saying, chivalry is forbidden by martial arts, and few officials will like those high-ranking chivalrous knights.
Nangong Xu also followed with his eyebrows, looked at Nangong Mo and asked, "Can you strengthen the checkpoint of the imperial city?" "Keep these people out of the city.
Nangong Mo shook his head, "Big brother, you don't know the people in the rivers and lakes, most of these people are paranoid and uninhibited, if you deliberately make it difficult, maybe those who are not hostile will also have to do it against you." There are many people who can mix in the rivers and lakes and are not afraid of death. Other than that... The real master is not something that you can defend with a few checkpoints, and those who should come in will still come in. Halloween is supposed to be celebrated all over the world, but if it is murderous, it is also boring. I'm afraid that it will make the Gentiles see the joke. ”
Qin Zixu had a headache, "But what if something happens on the Halloween Day......"
Nangong Mo was also helpless, "Therefore, the defense of the Longevity Festival is the top priority, big brother, this matter still needs to be communicated with the commander of Ouchi." As for our side, it would be best if we could catch the main messenger behind the scenes before Halloween. ”
"Is it possible?" Qin Zixu was a little suspicious, tomorrow night is Hallolive.
Nangong Mo smiled, if you can't, you can't do it.
