Chapter 110: The Assassin
"Oh?"
Wang's eyes flashed, remembering that he had a contest with his mother-in-law and sister-in-law for the death of his mother-in-law before, and finally sent the three rough maids and his mother to Guangsheng, who was expecting to be out of sight and out of mind, but I didn't expect them to not only come back with them, but also became Guangsheng's henchmen, and really cared about him!
"They followed the second young master out of the house, but they know a lot."
Seeing her groaning, Jiao Liu hurriedly stepped forward to report, but this was exactly what Wang's mind wanted, and she ordered: "Call someone to me, and let Yao's mother ask for clarification." β
Jiaoliu was about to do it, but she was stopped by Wang's family, a ghostly light flashed in her eyes, and she said in a low voice: "Don't be alarmed now, wait until night." β
Jiaoliu suddenly understood: under the nose of the old lady during the day, if she catches any handle again, I am afraid that she will have to make extraneous branches, and close the courtyard door at night, just a few little maids, not holding them in their palms, if you want to knead and pinch flat, just a word!
*****
In the early morning, Xiao Gu still went to deliver food to Guangsheng.
The top layer is a shortbread dipped in sesame seeds, this thing tastes good, but the color is obviously reheated overnight, Guangsheng glanced at it and didn't eat it, just lazily drank a few mouthfuls of porridge with dried radish and pagoda.
Xiao Gu took out a paper bag from under the suitcase, shook it in front of his eyes, Guangsheng smiled and snatched it, and when he opened it, it was a crystal red date cake cut into a diamond shape.
Put it in your mouth, just one bite at a time, and the sweet and glutinous taste suddenly ejected in your mouth, and the whole person was refreshed.
"Whose craft is this?"
"Me."
Xiao Gu replied confidently and decisively, and when he saw him looking at him with a smile, he added, "Mother Qin and I." β
"It's troublesome for you to secretly cook us food these days."
Guangsheng sighed lightly, but he didn't become happy because of the food, and the solemn worry between his eyebrows did not diminish at all.
He paced to the window, and watched as the clouds were dyed golden by the morning sun, as if the smooth satin of the green water and clouds had been embroidered with a piping. The red plum blossoms under the window are in full bloom for a season, and at this time they are already a little withered, and the frost on the branches in the middle of the night is exposed to the sun, and suddenly turns into crystal droplets.
"It's the third day."
He said suddenly, but his eyes were looking at the unknown end in the distance to the southeastβthat was the direction of the palace.
Guangsheng has been waiting for news from Jinyiwei's side, but it has been three days since he returned to Jinling City, but there has been no news, as if everyone has forgotten about him.
Even if his heart was calm as usual, doubts and worries could not help but arise at this time.
The light of the rising sun shone on his face, and the little cut in the center of his eyebrows. But it made Xiao Gu on the side also feel that his mood was wrong today.
She couldn't help but step forward and silently handed over a plate full of crystal red date cakes.
"I've heard people say that when you're troubled and uncomfortable, eat more sweet and honeyy food, so that your mood will improve."
She smiled at him, heartlessly, revealing her snow-white teeth.
"Really?"
Guangsheng took the porcelain plate in her hand and put several in his mouth in a row, so that his cheeks bulged.
"It tastes so good!"
He muttered his praise. didn't realize that Xiao Gu, who was standing next to him, was looking at him, and gradually frowned.
This sentiment is very wrong!
Obviously a few days ago, wasn't he still full of confidence? Is something wrong?
Xiao Gu thought about the cause and effect. Suddenly, a thought arose in my heart: Could it be that the bastards of Jinyiwei robbed the credit, right?
She didn't know all the inside information of Lu Dao, but based on the words leaked by Guangsheng and what she knew, she pieced together such a conclusion, and the more she thought about it, the more reasonable she felt!
A sudden anger rose in my heart: this group of eagle dogs is too much!
How hard Rising works. How much she wanted to make some achievements, she saw it in her eyes, but she didn't expect that Wang Shuxuan's arrogant attitude would be the first to stir up. Now he came to pick peaches again to rob him of his credit-especially the evidence in this credit was specially given to him by her, do you want to cheapen this group of brocade guards for nothing?
It's really unbearable!
Her face also darkened suddenly, and she secretly decided to give this group of Jinyi Guard's eagle dogs a color next time!
The two of them silently finished the breakfast, and although Xiao Gu was worried about his emotions, he had to leave with the food box.
After she left, Guangsheng pondered for a moment and decided to venture out to investigate, but before he could decide whether to climb over the wall or sneak out in disguise, he heard someone knocking on the door outside.
Very hard, very unceremonious knocking.
"Who is it?"
He frowned impatiently.
With a squeak, the door was opened, not his little servant, but five strange men, all dressed as deans, very young but powerful.
"The master asked Young Master Guangsheng to go to the study in the outer courtyard to talk."
The attitude of the man at the head can be described as rebellious.
Guangsheng smiled coldly, didn't say anything, just packed a burden in his hand, and followed them out of the door.
The leader glanced at the burden, and Guangsheng raised it to show him, and he didn't know what the black pieces were.
"It's Ejiao, I brought it back to make up for my father."
The man at the head couldn't help but show a sneering look: Ejiao is a woman's body-replenishment, what kind of mess is it for men? This kid can't even be courteous, no wonder he's so bad.
A few people walked out of the door between words, and there were two people under the porch, with blue noses and swollen eyes and low moans - it was the two little guys that Guangsheng was carrying, and two other personal soldiers brought back from the army rushed forward to save people, but they were blocked by this group of people, and the narrow corridor was suddenly crowded together.
"Rest easy, all of you, and wait for me to come back."
Guangsheng commanded in a deep voice, "If I don't come back by noon, you will go to that Li Ye." β
Li Sheng of Jinyiwei and him were originally under the jurisdiction of a small banner, and they had a special deed, and if there was anything wrong this time, they could only find Ji Gang through him.
The first one walked in the first step to lead the way, and the remaining four men sandwiched him in the middle, seemingly following, but in fact an invisible prison, the six of them walked all the way through the verandah, the courtyard and the newspaper building of the three entrances, and then walked through the rockery and pond in the atrium, all the way to the direction of the front yard.
"Let's go faster. My father is waiting for me in the study, so I'm in a hurry, right? β
Guangsheng suddenly had nothing to say, and the person who started it smiled and said meaningfully: "It's been a long time, don't worry." β
"It's true, what he likes to drink is Lao Junmei, and the tea tastes after three cups - that Master Liu is also there, right? He became my father's shadow, and he was soaked in the study. β
"Master Liu is deeply valued by the old man, and what we discussed together must be a big deal."
The man didn't know why Guangsheng was so chattering, and thought he was going to listen to something. Just followed his words perfunctorily.
"Oh?"
Guangsheng raised his eyebrows, his charming eyes flashed with cold killing intent, and in the next moment, his hands turned into fists and suddenly slammed out!
Before the two people on either side of him could react, one of them screamed and was pushed into the pool, and the other figure flickered, took out a snowy short knife from his sleeve, and slammed it towards Guangsheng.
The man in front of him also turned around suddenly, and three small arrows suddenly shot out of his sleeve. It's all black and shiny; The two people in the rear also drew their short knives and attacked from behind
Guangsheng let out a low snort, jumped up lightly, and dodged two small arrows. The third rubbed his shoulder, but fortunately he was still wearing a jacket in the early spring, and the clothes were torn wide, and his white and lean shoulders were exposed.
His steps were screed. But he couldn't move and dodge, and after dodging the short knives of the two people with a false blow, he simply jumped to the height of the rockery. With the force under his feet, a stone was suddenly kicked up and fell towards the two men.
Since the last rockery collapse, all the rockeries and ponds in the house have been cleaned and repaired properly, and the bonding between the rockeries has been very tight.
One of the two men was hit by a stone, and his head was broken and he fell into the pond with blood flowing, but the man's sleeve crossbow shot at him again, and the iron arrow glittered in the sunlight, and Guangsheng shrank his body and jumped into the belly of the rockery.
The house of Jining Houfu is built after entering Nanjing, covers an area of most of the streets, the most proud landscape is these rockeries, the mountains and stones of different colors are distributed into four because of the topography, respectively, the meaning of "spring", "summer", "autumn" and "winter", it is full of chess, full of strange interest, if the child runs into the rockery, I am afraid that I can not find the exit for a quarter of an hour.
The four of them hurried into the hinterland of the rockery, the faint light, the cramped space, and the twists and turns of the sheep's intestine path...... Everyone squinted, but they didn't watch out for the upper end of the "glimmer of sky", and suddenly there were scattered sand and soil falling, so that people couldn't open their eyes!
"Be careful!"
As soon as the leader shouted, the entire rockery fell down with a bang!
The sand was filled, the stones were flying, and the people who were pressed below were suddenly seriously injured by bleeding viscera - fortunately, the rockery of the Hou Mansion is Jiangnan after all, and they pay attention to the word "show", and these four people are also Huijiazi, not as weak as the Guangren and Guangyu brothers, so they did not endanger their lives. The man at the head struggled to crawl out from under the rubble, but he injured his leg and fell to the ground covered in blood. β
Guangsheng smiled coldly, put down the fire fold in his hand, looked into his eyes, and said, "When you came to invite me, you were too hasty to salute. β
"My father is the most particular about the word 'courtesy', and even if he disagrees with me in his heart, he will be polite and thoughtful in his face, and you don't even bend down when you salute, which is simply a shame on my father's face - therefore, I conclude that you are taking his name."
The man coughed loudly, and the blood flowed freely, only to feel that his mouth was full of bitterness: they had managed to sneak into the outer courtyard, steal the right cards and costumes, and even speak in a tone that was ten percent similar, but they did not expect to be planted on this inconsequential point.
"Also, my father's master is not surnamed Liu, but Cai, if I try it, you will show your feet."
Guangsheng's words made the man even more frustrated, and the pungent smell of sulfur filled the air, which suddenly reminded him of the collapse of the rockery just now, and he was shocked to understand, "What you brought is not Ejiao, but black powder!" β
He was shocked and angry, he never thought that Guangsheng would not play his cards according to the rules, and he would be so bold as to dare to detonate gunpowder in his yard - this man is simply crazy!
Guangsheng leisurely put the fire fold into his purse, and smiled as handsome and calm as a golden boy in the sky, "I carry gunpowder, maybe to prevent you, or it may be to guard against my father - in short, whoever wants to be unfavorable to me, let's taste the explosion first."
