Chapter 292:-for-tat
Under the corridor, Cao Yu only wore a thin robe, and lowered his voice in dismay: "You say, someone posted a post?" 10,000 taels?! β
Sixi also lowered his voice: "But isn't it, I just saw it in the bazaar, I didn't dare to say much, and I came back with a disgraced face, if I let people see that I am the master's long-term follower, if I don't catch it, I will beat it violently, and I don't know which hero will kill me." β
"If you say more, I'll kill you."
Cao Yu was already frowning.
Sixi was frightened outside, and if he didn't dare to talk to Cao Yu like this on weekdays, he shook his body when he heard his soft but angry words, and hurriedly laughed: "Cao Gongzi is angry, don't be like a villain, just now he was really frightened, so he will talk nonsense." Someone outside criticizes the Hou Ye, and I feel that injustice in my heart! We can all remember the benefits of Hou Ye to the people, and he is not such an ungrateful person. β
Cao Yu looked at the back room out of the corner of his eyes, and saw that there was no movement, so he brushed his sleeves and said, "You go." Without my instructions, don't talk nonsense for the time being. β
"Yes! But Cao Gongzi, there is no need to say much about this, in a few days, I am afraid that those people from the rivers and lakes will come to the door, it is okay to come one or two, if there are more people, even if Cao Gongzi has great ability, a good tiger can't stand a group of wolves, you can pay more attention! β
Sixi followed Huo Nineteen, he has always been loyal, and rarely complained, even if he occasionally complained today, it was really due to the situation, and the real concern made Cao Yu laugh, "Go quickly, little monkey cub." β
Seeing that this powerful person with a jade face and a black heart showed a smile, and didn't mean to kill him, Sixi went out happily.
And Cao Yu stood under the porch. I didn't know what to do for a while.
This thing. Huo Nineteen will know sooner or later. It is better for him to see the situation clearly, and not to make him think that the situation is still as optimistic as before.
But just now, the little emperor had already gone to act in such a play, and at this time, even the trumped-up charges were pressed up at once, and he was afraid that Huo Shijiu, who was injured, would not be able to bear it.
Huo Shijiu in the room vaguely heard someone talking outside, he didn't know what he was talking about, and he wrote on the paper in advance, but Jiang Yu heard these words clearly, and clutched the mattress with both hands. Almost tore the splendid official green brocade.
Ok, good, good! This is called a loyal and patriotic person! Willing to give up 10,000 taels of silver, not to build an army for the emperor, to build an iron wall to strengthen the army and the people, is to buy Huo 191 lives. His life is a priceless treasure in her eyes, even more important than her life, and she doesn't want it to be so valuable in the eyes of outsiders.
Those who can take 10,000 taels of silver to buy murder, how can they be the poor sours of Qingliu? Such a large-scale effort to create a rumor that the country and the people will be harmed is only beneficial to the British public to remove a stumbling block.
The matter has come to this point, and it is useless to be angry, but Jiang Wei's reason is no match for feelings this time, and she is unhappy for Huo Nineteen. Wronged for him. I think that for so many years, such a noble person has been burdened with infamy. Throw away the decency you care about the most and be a street rat, for the sake of the one above, but that one doesn't trust him.
The long slender eyelashes could barely hide the shattering stars in her eyes.
Huo Jiujiu took her hand and shook it again, her tongue didn't dare to move, for fear of affecting the wound, and a slightly hoarse voice came out of her throat, which meant to ask.
Jiang Yu came back to her senses and looked at him with raised eyes: "I'm sorry, I'm distracted." β
As a husband and wife, how could he not see Jiang Yan's love? In Huo Dazhuo's words, Jiang Wei is a real "man", and she may not be willing to shed a tear when she cuts meat with a steel knife, but this time she will have a pair of bright apricot eyes full of water, and it is this kind of appearance that she can't bear to cry, which makes people more and more pitiful.
Huo Jiu pulled her and hugged her in his arms, kissed her forehead, and gently patted her back. Although it is inconvenient to speak, why should I express my deep concern and distress?
Seeing them like this, Tingyu and Bingsong hurriedly went to carry the seven catties to the nurse and took them down.
The light footsteps in the courtyard gradually moved away, and Jiang Yu knew that Cao Yu had left silently, and she did not plan to tell Huo Nineteen about it......
The soldiers are coming, and he still makes him sad, so it's better to leave it like this.
It's just that to deal with that old fox, you have to speed up.
Jiang Yu handed the pen to Huo Shijiu and discussed the plan with him in a low voice. Unexpectedly, before she could speak, a little girl outside replied anxiously: "Back to the Hou Ye, the British Duke has brought someone here." β
Huo Shijiu raised his eyebrows and slowly put down the purple pen.
Jiang Yu smiled calmly after being surprised: "He dares to come this time, and he is not afraid of losing his life." β
Huo Shijiu patted Jiang Wei on the shoulder, meaning to let her stay here.
Where can Jiang Yu rest assured that he will go to see the British Duke alone? Even if Huo Shijiu's charge of giving the little emperor five stone scatters is not evidenced enough, and that old thing will not do things that are unfavorable to Huo Shijiu as directly and plainly, she is still not at ease.
Wearing a big coat, he chased after him quickly, wrapped his lotus arm around his arm, and interlocked his domineering fingers: "I'll accompany you." β
Her gentle attachment under the domineering heart made him unable to refuse, so he had no choice but to tap her index finger between her eyebrows, and then put on the hood on her big hat for her.
He injured his tongue and couldn't speak, except for writing, as long as he communicated with her the rest of the time, he would focus on her eyes, and let her see the rare love in his eyes that were originally deep and cold like ancient wells.
At this time, she will feel that he only sees her and they only see each other.
Jiang Fei's head leaned on his shoulder without hesitation. She doesn't care about other people's opinions, she can be attached to him, as long as her heart is satisfied, why be afraid of people's words?
When he came to the front hall, Cao Yu had already ordered someone to serve tea.
The British prince sat in the first place, and the ruby gold ring on his finger shone with a luxurious brilliance, dimming the luster of the lid cup that had rained over the sky, as if he were a superior person, and today his noble feet stepped on the ground, and the arrogance in his eyebrows was undisguised.
"The British Duke personally visited, and he really shined brightly." Jiang Yu and Huo Nineteen saluted together.
The British Duke slowly put down the tea bowl, smoothed his beard casually, and asked worriedly: "Only now did the old man know that Jinninghou was in danger on Chinese New Year's Eve, and Jinninghou is fine, right?" β
Jiang Yan stood beside Huo Shijiu and said with a smile: "Grandpa Lao Guo is worried, A-Ying hurt her tongue and is inconvenient to speak, and the concubine is here to thank Grandpa Guo for his concern." It's just that this matter has not been reported by the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, and we have not reported to the official, how can Grandpa Guo know? β
"The saint loves the Marquis of Jinning, which is known to the people of the government and the opposition." I don't answer positively.
In fact, the people present were all like mirrors, the killer was a British duke, and Dai Lin, the commander of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, was also a protΓ©gΓ© of the British duke, and it was also the British duke's order to delay rushing to the scene of the weapon fight that day. As for mentioning the emperor, I don't know what the little emperor did, or his eyeliner is everywhere in the demonstration palace.
Huo Shijiu was still as calm as water, and his slender fingers brushed the armrest of the circle chair.
Jiang Yu replied on her behalf: "Grandpa Guo is honest. If you talk about the love of heaven, who can go abroad in the future? β
"The old man talks about identity and qualifications. It should be like this, Jin Ninghou is young but has made such progress, which is indeed commendable. By the way, when I first came, I saw that there was a nameless post in the city, and there were rumors that the emperor took Wushi San? β
Looking at the old face of the British duke pretending to be innocent and very kind, Jiang Yu hated to stab him to death immediately. But just as the British Duke could not blatantly rob and hurt Huo Shijiu, Jiang Yu was also unable to act directly.
"Grandpa Guo also said, it is a rumor, it is called a rumor, and it can be imagined that it can be believed, if a fool will believe it, how can Grandpa Guo believe it if he is such a heroic man who has been in the government and the opposition for most of his life?"
The British Duke stroked his beard for a moment, and almost ripped off the fake beard attached to it, and sneered with his eyes like a knife: "Mrs. Jinninghou is really not an ordinary woman, but the old man mistook you in the past." β
"Grandpa Guo has an overreputation." The attitude is neither humble nor arrogant.
The British Duke stood up slowly, flicked his sleeves freely, and his once low voice turned hoarse and sharp: "In any case, although the rumors are not credible, they are not groundless, and the old man will definitely find out and give Jinninghou a fair one." β
"The concubine has treated the Hou Ye and thanked the grandfather of the country." Jiang Yu bent her knees.
The British Duke sneered and walked a few steps to the door, stopped abruptly, and smiled when he turned around: "Xiao Shizi is very good now, right?" It's time to speak, right? β
The hairs on Jiang Yan's back stood on end for a moment, hid her guard, and said gratefully: "Thank you Grandpa Guo for your concern, the dog is fine." β
"Oh, that's good, that's good!" As if relieved, the British Duke laughed and went out.
Looking at the back of him leading people away, Jiang Yu felt that her legs were weak in a panic.
What is he going to do! Could it be that the seven catties are the bloodline of the little emperor and want to be unfavorable to him? The British prince is sometimes arrogant, but he also has the ability to be arrogant, and when he is full of self-confidence, he applauds his fond of playing with his enemies, like a cat catching a mouse, and is not in a hurry to bite them to death.
What did he mean by that?
The slender shoulders were covered by the warm palms, and Jiang Wei turned her head and bumped into Huo Shijiu's gentle eyes. Obviously, he was the one who was cut to the blade, but he was so quiet and indifferent, and he didn't panic and faced the impending situation, so that she couldn't help but feel at ease when she saw him.
Maybe this is also the reason why Huo Jiujiu was able to make people like Cao Yu follow.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Huo Jiujiu took Jiang Yan's hand and went up the steps, and turned around and motioned for Cao Yu to come along. Standing in front of the Huanghuali black lacquer square table, Huo Shijiu dipped his index finger in tea and wrote on the table, "Plan to continue".
Jiang Yu grinned, "That's what I mean." Just find the right time. β
Pointing to the wound on her shoulder, Huo Jiu blinked.
Jiang Yu immediately understood: "I will act after I recover from the injury, you can rest assured that this period is just right for us to arrange the arrangements." β
Huo Shijiu nodded reassuringly. (To be continued......)
