Chapter 40: Karma and Resentment (2)
Nanzhu, who had just entered the house with hot porridge, was suddenly frightened, standing in a daze at the door frame and unable to advance or retreat, but the two people who were about to get married in a mess in the house were facing each other with red ears and red ears and angry eyes. It was rare for her to see her own young lady angry before, not to mention that the object of her anger would be Zhang Shaoqing, although she didn't know what happened, she still subconsciously protected Yin Suwen.
"Zhang, Zhang Gongzi, it's good to have slaves and maids to serve here."
Nanzhu is quite clever, and after thinking about it, he finally said this. When Zhang Shaoqing finally brushed his sleeves away, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to take care of Yin Suwen, who still couldn't get up.
"Miss, it was not easy to come back safely from the dead, why did the two of them still lose their temper?"
Seeing that Yin Suwen's originally pale face was abnormally flushed, Nanzhu knew that she must have really moved, and she didn't dare to say more, so she quickly found a cooling water bladder to apply it to her.
"Zhu'er, do you know what happened to Master Xinche and the monks in the Yunju Temple, Shaoqing refused to tell me the truth."
After calming down his breath a little, Yin Suwen was anxious to learn about the situation that day from Nanzhu's mouth. If Xin Che was really killed or injured in that chaotic arrow, how could so many monks from Yunju Temple present give up, and once the scene really stiffened, what would Zhang Shaoqing do, Yin Suwen couldn't imagine it.
"Miss was worried about this. You can rest assured that Maruko and his brothers are fine and unharmed. Especially his uncle, who is really a master, not only took the initiative to save the young lady out of compassion, but also achieved martial arts. ”
It turned out that the situation at that time had been expected by Xin Che, when Yin Suwen fell to the ground and Zhang Shaoqing ordered ten thousand arrows to be fired, Xin Che did not hesitate to turn back or be surprised, but ran towards the nearest bronze giant tripod as soon as possible. He was so good at martial arts that he had already calculated in his heart, and he directly and secretly exerted his strength according to the established route, and he had already leaped out of the danger area after turning over from a long distance.
The assassin on the opposite side was also good, taking advantage of the buffer of Xinche, and in a few steps, he escaped the blockade on the periphery of the square and fled outward, although he was hit by a few arrows, but he looked at his movements with extraordinary agility, and should not have died yet. Zhang Shaoqing's team then continued to track down, but it was still in vain.
Nanzhu is an honest and careful girl and can be regarded as Yin Suwen's confidant, the extremely chaotic scene at that time did not scare her, so she saw the whole process of the incident clearly, and now what she said is more trustworthy than anyone else. Yin Suwen, who learned the truth from her mouth, finally put her mind at ease, but fortunately, Xinche was not injured.
"Since the masters in the temple are all very good, and no one in the square is injured because of Miss, then, shouldn't Miss be so angry?"
Nanzhu also seemed to vaguely feel who Yin Suwen was really worried about, so she focused on telling the details of Xinche's smooth escape, and pretended to look at her cutely, hoping that she would not be angry with Zhang Shaoqing again.
"Okay, don't be angry. However, after all, there has been no big wedding ceremony yet, and this mansion is not a place to stay for a long time, so it is better for you and me to return to the house quickly. ”
It was already dark, and the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the moon was not visible. The lights were bright everywhere in Zhang's mansion, but Zhang Shaoqing's bedroom was pitch black, and he didn't order anyone to take charge of the lamp, only leaving half a candle with candles as bright as beans.
The half-open door seemed to be passing by by with a slight sound, and Zhang Shaoqing knew that it should be Liu Feng coming back.
"Young Master, Miss Yin and the maid have returned home safely, and there is nothing abnormal on the way. Yin Yuan has not been in the mansion for the past few days, so the two of them returned to the mansion from the path at the south gate without attracting the attention of the superfluous people, and everything went well. ”
Liu Feng has always been down-to-earth, meticulous and thoughtful, and can always think about Zhang Shaoqing's thoughts everywhere, which is why only one of the original ten secret guards was left as a personal shadow guard.
"Good. What was the result of what you were asked to investigate? ”
"The young master is talking about the matter of the East Emperor Cliff?"
"Hmm."
The flame of the half-cut candle in the corner of the table trembled slightly, and there was a sound of the candle bursting, and the light in the room became darker and darker. Zhang Shaoqing, who was sitting in the dark, made it impossible to see the look on his face clearly, but Liu Feng knew that he was in a very bad mood at the moment, so his attitude of answering became more and more respectful.
"Back to the young master, the matter of the East Emperor Cliff has been basically ascertained, and Miss Yin was indeed rescued by the Xinche monk of Yunju Temple when she was unconscious on the top of the cliff that day. The two of them had lived in a secluded cave in the middle of the mountain for a few days, and when their subordinates went to investigate there, they found that the monk had medicated the young lady's injuries and had also made some ordinary food. However, judging from other traces of life in the cave, the two of them are separated by a certain distance from each other every day. ”
"Heart-to-heart? Heh, it's really that monk, no wonder Su Su will fight with me so much for him. ”
"Does the young master need his subordinates to dispose of this person directly?"
Liu Feng was actually present on the day of the robbery of Yin Suwen Square, but at that time, he was hiding in the dark to protect Zhang Shaoqing's safety at any time, and he did not see Zhang Shaoqing's instructions, so he also saw the hostage exchange process between Yin Suwen and Xinche, but did not come to the rescue. At the moment, Zhang Shaoqing deliberately asked him to find out about the matter of Donghuang Cliff, presumably he should be hostile to the monk called "Xin Che".
Liu Feng's world is very simple, there is no right or wrong, everything is in the interests of Zhang Shaoqing, since this monk has a lot to do with the future young master's wife, and now it is because of him that Zhang Shaoqing is so unhappy, then he is the damned one.
"Hmph, there's no hurry. Su Su saw him as important, and did not hesitate to protect him desperately, wouldn't it be too much of a pity to let him die so easily. Don't be in a hurry first, I have my own arrangements. ”
"Yes, my subordinates obey."
"From now on, you don't need to watch Su Su's actions anymore, the wedding date is approaching, and there will be no major problems in the future. However, Yin Yuan's behavior has been quite strange recently, an old minister who is about to return to his hometown still has something important to do every day, and he can't even return to the mansion by himself, so you go and follow him secretly to investigate, lest he refuse to give up and make any mistakes. ”
Saying "yes", Liu Feng, who received the order, got up and left, and quietly closed half of the door before leaving.
Zhang Shaoqing sat alone in silence in the dark for a long time before he got up again, lit the lamp, made tea, and took out the remaining official documents to read them one by one. picked up the pen and wrote it, but there was an unexpected name on the paper - "Xinche".
