Chapter 114: Assassination
"Yue Mubai, one of the four famous young people in the capital, who doesn't know it!" The shopkeeper raised his thumb angrily, "That's Yushu Linfeng, handsome and chic, leading 800,000 forbidden troops......"
Ahem.
Yue Mubai's head was sweating, but the master's head was raised and he listened excitedly, but he didn't dare to interrupt the drum in his heart.
"It's really majestic, and it's famous in the capital." Xiao Er continued to gush, "I heard that I haven't gotten married yet, and the famous ladies in the capital are looking forward to it, and the matchmaker has broken the threshold several times, but Yue Shao was stunned and didn't agree." ”
Dou Lianyi really couldn't hold back and wanted to laugh, but in front of the public, he didn't dare to lose his temper too much, and he couldn't bear it.
"Oh, why didn't he say yes."
Xuan Lonely asked casually while sipping fragrant tea.
"I tell you, you can't spread the word." Xiao Er mysteriously lowered his voice.
He earnestly promised: "Never spread the word." ”
"I heard there was something wrong with him." The shopkeeper smiled obscenely.
Xuan Xiaoli glanced at the person with a hairy face and a clenched fist, and listened with a gossip on his face: "What's wrong?" ”
"That's it, Childe understands." The shopkeeper squeezed his eyebrows, probably because of the presence of the female dependent, and he was embarrassed to say it.
"Which? I don't think you know, so don't ask. ”
Xuan Lonely broke the gauze pot and asked in the end, and took out the excitement.
"It's the habit of breaking sleeves." The shopkeeper blushed in a hurry and blurted out.
Before the last word fell, the neckline was grabbed, and a heart-warming fist roared, "Xiaobai." But at this sound, the fist stopped in mid-air.
"Guest officer, you have something to say, why are you beating people, I didn't say you, it's hard to be your relative, I'm sorry, the small one has a lot of mouths, the small ones have a lot of mouths." The shopkeeper's brain turned so fast, and he symbolically fanned himself while apologizing.
Dou Lianyi couldn't hold back any longer, leaned forward and closed back with a smile, and finally lay on the table, holding his stomach and shouting "sigh".
"Guest, please order." The shopkeeper almost got punched inexplicably, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, so he remembered what was going on.
Xuan Lili couldn't help but laugh, and while helping her to calm her breath, he rushed to the person who was so aggrieved not far away: "Yue Shao's relatives, come and go." ”
The shopkeeper turned around, and he didn't dare to get too close for fear of being beaten, so he nodded vigorously, and Yue Mubai stepped forward and grabbed the menu: "One dragon and phoenix Chengxiang, one sinking fish and geese, one white strip in the waves, one gold and silver soup......"
After ordering more than a dozen in one go, the shopkeeper went out with a "gotta bang", Dou Lianyi finally stopped laughing, and saw Yue Mubai standing aside, nauseated, angry and embarrassed, and couldn't help but sympathize with him: "Young master, you must have bullied Xiaobai a lot before." "Think about it, the years that Yue Mubai read to him must be his side dishes, he will make a mess if he wants to, and he will make a whole cup if he wants to.
"What, you're going to stand up for him?" The ink eyes were slightly dyed, and the thin lips were faintly raised.
She smiled lightly: "Young Grandma Ben wants to be a matchmaker for him, is it feasible?" ”
"Then you'll have to ask him to go." The glance that was thrown obliquely over was like a charm, even if he was a man, he was afraid that he would hook his soul.
Dou Lianyi really got up and walked in front of the young man who was called Xiaobai, with a handsome appearance, a slender and well-proportioned figure, a young hero, if he could marry his sister to her, it would really be a beautiful thing.
"What kind of girl do you like?" She looked up and asked earnestly.
Yue Mubai's brows were almost invisible, and he was very reluctant in his heart, and he had to answer respectfully: "Return...... Young grandmother, subordinates don't know. ”
"How can you not know that the women of the world are beautiful, or charming, or enchanting...... There's always a type you like. ”
Xuan Lonely said with a smile: "He doesn't like what you said." ”
"And what do you like?" Dou Lianyi looked at the heroic young man inquiringly, and when he saw the glance he glanced at his man, his heart moved, could it be ......
Obediently, it turned out that the rumors of Yue Da Shao's habit of breaking his sleeves were not groundless, and she couldn't help but look at him with some sympathy, "You like someone you shouldn't like, why bother!" ”
"Li...... Thank you for your concern, Yue's marriage will not worry about Grandma. The slightly angry tone further confirmed that he had a ghost in his heart.
Xuan Lili glanced at him lightly, pulled her back and sat down: "Don't bother with him." ”
This person is really cold-blooded, people have never married him, he is like no one, and he bullies people from time to time, alas, this is called a willingness to fight and a willingness to suffer.
"Why hasn't the food come up yet, I'm hungry."
She was shouting that she was hungry, and a long voice at the door sang: "The dish is coming-" Seeing that the second child was stopped by the four guards, she ordered without thinking about it: "Let him come in quickly." ”
The guards immediately let go, the black lacquer tray was held at shoulder level, Xiao Er walked in steadily, Dou Lianyi stared at the dishes in the tray, subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and the cold light flashed, and at this time, a cold air attacked the door.
"Escort."
With this sound, a figure blocked in front of her, and it was Xuan Silence who took a step forward, and Yue Mubai shouted and pounced on the assassin.
The four guards then arrived.
The assassin pretending to be Xiao Er ignored the five sharp blades behind him, and insisted on taking the target directly, Dou Lianyi saw the sharp dagger stabbing down on the head, and closed his eyes in fright, but he heard the sound of the wind whirring in his ears and the sonorous sound of sharp weapons connecting with each other, and finally fell silent.
"Your Majesty."
She screamed worriedly, and the first second she opened her eyes was to look for the beautiful blue of the eye, and the man clenched her hand to show that she was saving.
Oh, I'm so scared, but he never let go of his hand to protect himself.
The bayonet was lying on the ground covered in blood, twitching from time to time, and he was not supposed to be dead.
"The emperor is frightened, and the escort of the micro-minister is late, so please ask the emperor to surrender."
Leaning slightly, the Admiral of the Nine Gates, An Qi, rushed over, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists with both hands, and performed the salute of a soldier.
Dou Lianyi found that the hall on the first floor was surrounded by soldiers, and the diners who didn't have time to run were being interrogated.
"I'll leave it to you, and I'll give a confession within three days." Xuan Lili made a faint order, hugged her, went downstairs under the stars and moon, came out and got into the carriage, and drove back to the palace.
Three days later, the results of the interrogation in the Admiralty's Mansion came out, and according to the Assassin's confession, he was sent by the Great Chu of the Linguo Kingdom to assassinate the Emperor of Xuanyue.
"Do you believe it?"
The lights in the Yixin Hall were bright, and Xuan Lonely left his wrist to practice calligraphy, and asked the person standing under the imperial case lightly.
"Not really." Yue Mubai shook his head.
Behind the Qingyu desk, the man wrapped in the dragon robe let out a soft "oh", and the pen kept asking, "Why?" ”
"The assassin's blade has always been around Concubine Li's mother, it is obvious that the target of his assassination is not the emperor, and the so-called Linguo sent to assassinate the emperor is difficult to establish." Yue Mubai was one of the few people present that day, and he could see it clearly.
Xuan Lili glanced at him appreciatively, put down the wolf pen in his hand, tilted his head to admire his masterpiece, "You go, bring the assassin and hand it to the old ghost." ”
"Yes."
Yue Mubai gave up.
Although it was broad daylight, the cell of the palace punishment department was still gloomy, and there was no daylight.
The old ghost slowly walked through the iron fences, more than ten years have passed, and there has been no change here, but the smell of blood in the air has become stronger, he took a deep breath, and said secretly: It's been a long time.
"Master, please!" Next to him, Lao Cui, the head of the palace punishment department, respectfully pointed to a fence gate and invited him in.
The old ghost did not rush in, but stood at the door and observed, the person inside was already dying of knife wounds and torture wounds, and he would not live for a few days.
"If a person wants to live for a long time, the fewer secrets he knows, the better, especially the secrets of the heavenly family, if he doesn't know, try not to know." He sighed, he really didn't want to take this errand, "You go down." ”
Lao Cui didn't dare to disobey: "Then please slow the trial." With that, he withdrew.
The old ghost walked in slowly, paced in front of the prisoner and squatted down, and it was evident that this man had made up his mind to die, and his body was on the verge of death, and any punishment had no effect on him.
"Yan Wuya, who was once ranked third on the killer list, washed his hands five years ago, what is there for him to come back to the rivers and lakes, money? Apparently not; The rest is love. The old ghost simply sat next to him and talked eloquently.
The man closed his eyes and didn't lift his eyelids.
"There are several kinds of love, love, friendship, and family affection." He found that when he talked about family affection, the eyelids of the dead person were slightly raised, although they were almost invisible, but they still did not escape the eyes of a veteran interrogator.
He continued to tell the story: "Heh, it turned out to be for family affection. As far as I know, Yan Daxia met the woman he liked five years ago, and it was for her to retire to the rivers and lakes, and he had two sons and a daughter in five years, which made the old ghost, a lonely man, envious. ”
The people on the ground opened their eyes in an uproar, and the eyes of the people who had been severely punished and were about to die still showed a murderous aura: "If you want to kill, you will kill, why talk nonsense." ”
It seems that he has hit the sore spot, and the old ghost thinks confidently that he will be able to get the answer he wants right away, so that he can go on a business trip.
"You don't want to take this order, but someone is threatening your family, you are forced to do it out of desperation, who is the buyer?" The old ghost goes straight to the point.
The prisoner snorted disdainfully and closed his eyes.
"I know you've settled your family and think you're gone. Well, guess where you sent them, old ghost. The old ghost paused, but his dark voice was very soft gossip: "The Qi country in the west? The state of Chu in the east? The Kingdom of Shu in the south? Oh, it turned out to be Xiliang in the north. ”
When the name of the last country was announced, the eyelids of the people on the earth were not jumping, and he forcibly stabilized them, but his mouth involuntarily exhaled.
