Chapter 23: Pursuit (I)
returned to the Hou Mansion and stepped into the gate, and the righteous steward greeted him: "Young lady, second young master, you are back!" ”
"Hmm." I answered lightly, and saw that he seemed to have something to say, "What's the matter?" ”
"Prince Ulei, the envoy of the Yaoyue Kingdom, sent someone to send a gift to the young lady." The righteous steward whispered, "I'll send it to the young lady's room." ”
"Rites?" I frowned, and sighed in my heart, this Urey, it seems that he is about to launch his pursuit offensive, "Got it." ”
Turning my head and glancing at An Yuanxi, I lowered my eyelashes and said, "Thank you uncle for your help last night, uncle was tired all night, go back to the room early to rest." ”
He looked at me quietly for a moment before he said, "If there is anything I can help, my sister-in-law will tell me." ”
I looked up at him, speechless for a moment. Back then, in Cangdu, I would discuss everything with him, no matter what novel ideas I came up with, the person who finally put them into practice was him, now I think about it, in fact, it was not I who gave An Yuanxi a job, but I relied on him for everything, at that time, I may have looked down on his pedantry that did not like him, but I was always relieved to do the things entrusted to him, because I actually trusted him in my heart. And now, does that trust between us still exist? From the moment he left me inexplicably, he had his own secrets, and he never wanted the secrets I knew, and I myself had too many unspeakable secrets that were not enough for outsiders, two people with their own secrets, they got along carefully, what kind of trust do we talk about? An Yuanxi, what do you want? You know that even if we are a family now, it is impossible to return to the closeness and trust we used to have, and we are actually just strangers living under the same roof.
He seemed to understand something from my eyes, lowered his eyelids, hid the unpredictable look in his eyes, and whispered, "I'll go back to the room first, sister-in-law......"
"Uncle go slowly." I owed, he turned around and left expressionlessly, I sighed, and said to the iron guard behind me: "Yun Qian, you come with me." ”
When I walked to the study, I saw Yun Yu standing outside the door, and I bowed slightly: "Young lady! ”
"Come in and talk about it." I stepped into the study first, could it be that Shen Shen and Secarmen had changed there? I asked Yun Rou to arrange for someone to keep an eye on the two of them, and Yun Rou was here at this time, there must be something wrong with them.
Leaving Yun Qian in the house, I retreated the others, and when I sat down, Yun Qian said to me: "Young lady, yesterday the emperor asked people to invite Mrs. Lin into the palace. ”
"Yesterday? What time was yesterday? "I frowned, the emperor released the news that General Lin was seriously injured, and it was reasonable to send someone to invite Sai Carmen into the palace. It's just that why did the emperor release the news that General Lin was injured? At such a time, when this kind of news is released, there must be more speculation in the court, and if it falls into the ears of political enemies, wouldn't it be bad? Or, the emperor deliberately released such news, and the fact that General Lin was seriously injured was false?
"Yesterday evening, Mrs. Lin hired a carriage alone and wanted to go out of the city, but she was intercepted by the emperor's people and invited into the palace." Yun Yi said.
"She wants to get out of town? Where does she want to go? I said lightly, having no doubt that Yun Rou would be able to give me an answer.
"Mrs. Lonely said that she wanted to go to Guanyin Temple to offer incense." Yun Yi said.
"What about Yi Shen Xuan?" I lowered my eyelids and whispered.
"Yi Gongzi left the city early yesterday morning, went to the Shili Pavilion on the outskirts of the city, sat until dawn, and only went home this morning." Yun Yi replied in detail. I raised my eyes to look at him: "Yi Gongzi can bring luggage?" ”
"Yes." Yun Yan nodded, "Young Master Yi brought a burden with him, which was the Ten Mile Pavilion on horseback. ”
I nodded: "Got it, you continue to let people stare at them, let's go out first." ”
Secamen went out of the city to meet Shen Chen, right? Is it to say goodbye? Or do you want to leave together? I'm afraid that the latter may be the majority, if it is just to say goodbye, why did Shen Shen come back this morning after he had decided to leave? It must be because he didn't wait for Sejamen yesterday and knew that things had changed, so he came back, right?
Secamun had to be hypnotized by his side to achieve the goal of controlling Silent Cloud silently, her task was not completed, why was she in a hurry to leave? Is it really reluctant to indulge? She spent so much effort and lost her innocence to be able to get close to Silent Shock, how could she ruin her deployment for so long for the sake of her children's personal affairs? Could it be that what has changed? That's why Secarmen wants to go?
Yun Qian exited the room, I looked at Yun Qian, and said, "You tell me, what is wrong with that wound." ”
I saw his expression when he performed the autopsy yesterday, and I knew that Wei Tongfeng's injuries were not so simple. Yun Qian said: "The knife wound on the body of the Ouchi guard yesterday has obvious traces of frostbite on the wound, there is only one knife on the rivers and lakes, and it will cause such a wound after injuring people." ”
"What kind of knife?" In fact, I already have a faint premonition in my heart, when Yun Qian said yesterday that almost no one in the rivers and lakes who used knives was better than General Shan, I had a little doubt, but I didn't dare to speculate, if what I suspected was true, then this matter was too complicated and terrible. Could it be that this is what Secarmen knows will change?
"It's General Lone's Ice Sword." Yun Qian's words confirmed my hunch, I closed my eyes, and sure enough, it was...... I was not mistaken.
"You mean, the wound on the Ouchi guard yesterday was caused by General Shan? Could it be that someone else has a similar weapon? I asked, but I was already sure in my heart. Yun Qian shook his head and said: "General Lonely's Ice Spirit Knife is a wonder soldier in the world, and it is difficult for other weapons to imitate the wounds it makes, and the Ice Spirit Knife is known as the 'Soul Suppression Knife', which refers to the ancestors of the Lonely family who used the Ice Spirit Knife to fight on the battlefield, killed countless enemies, and made countless achievements. ”
So no one else will take his knife to kill at all, is it true that my eldest brother was killed by General Shan? Why? What's the secret? What should I do if my eldest brother was really killed by General Shan? Can I still swear to avenge him?
I'm glad that Azure Snow is gone now, and if her soul still lives in this body with me, I'm afraid it will be more difficult for me to choose. I rubbed my forehead tiredly: "Yun Qian, you go out, I want to be quiet." ”
Remembering that the emperor asked me to take Duan Zhiyi into the palace today, I stopped rubbing my forehead. It seems that only one person can answer my doubts, if Brother Wei's death is really related to General Shan, he will always give me an explanation.
I called Xiaohong in, helped me back to the room to bathe and change clothes, and asked Duan Zhiyi to inform him to dress neatly and prepare to enter the palace with me. After taking a shower, I sat in front of the dressing table and asked Ning'er to help me comb my hair, and I accidentally caught a glimpse of the gift box on the table next to me: "That's something from Prince Ulei?" ”——
I recommend two books from my friends, which I think are very good:
Zeng Yue's "Really Stupid":
The four generals of the demon family "Song of the Cave Immortals":
