Chapter 27: The Assassination of the Son
Through the colorful light, the jade pendant in Zhenxiang's hand is like a silver sea and blue star, shining a little, bright and clear.
Mu Shizi's eyes were deep, but he was stunned by this jade pendant.
He was so surprised to see the jade pendant, presumably he knew the origin and secret of the jade pendant, although Hao Yu is now in the distant Xibang, but such a fragrant flower was shocked on the two foreign generals, and the girl wanted to explore the reason for this.
The jade pendant was placed in his hand.
He trembled, his body no longer obeyed, looking at the jade pendant, not knowing what to do.
After a long time, the prince finally spoke, and the girl was full of joy.
"I don't know!"
……
On Zhenxiang's head, two partridges flew by.
Zhenxiang's face is more ugly than a partridge.
"You say you don't know?"
The girl is not very gentle, Mu Shizi, a letter of your kind flew on the yamen of his house, leading the girl to the bank of the green river, wanting to expose the mystery of the jade pendant in the clear mountains and green waters, but now it is hidden in the heart and does not want to reveal, what is the intention.
Mu Shizi took the secret letter, glanced at it and handed it back elegantly, and thanked him with courtesy, this letter was not sent by this son, and this jade pendant himself had never seen it, the reason why he was surprised just now was because this jade pendant was of high quality, it was a rare treasure in Dongqiu and even the world, and he usually loved treasures, so he was quite emotional, and that's it.
Zhenxiang took the jade pendant and said no more, the girl's wisdom immediately had an epiphany, if this letter was not sent by Mu Shizi, then someone must have deliberately led him to the bank of the Qing River, let himself witness the assassination on the bamboo raft, and let him personally rescue Mu Shizi.
It's just that who is so bold and dares to assassinate the little prince of the Eastern Autumn Kingdom, and this assassin takes so much trouble to lure himself to the shore, but it is not just to let himself repel this assassin and save the son, what does the black hand behind this want, the girl is puzzled for a while.
The girl suddenly had a thought, in Dongqiu, she knew that this purple fragrant flower and jade pendant was only Rin Chen and Rin Fan in addition to herself, it was Rin Chen who led her to this river, and the assassin who assassinated Xiao Shizi was sent by Rin Chen.
She shook her head, not enough to pat her head with the palm of her hand, she didn't know what she was thinking, how could this cold dust assassinate Xiao Shizi, since she wanted to kill Shizi, why bother to report to herself and arrange this chance encounter with Shizi.
Zhenxiang looked at the injured Mu Shizi, who sent this letter is not clear for the time being, and now he must send Shizi back to the mansion safely, lest the assassin find a helper to come over and be unable to parry himself.
The bamboo rafts are getting farther away, leaving only a few partridges still on the clear river.
……
In a dense forest on the bank of the Qing River, Qiao Duwei twisted his soaked clothes and shivered all over his body, sneezing one after another.
Although the weather in the capital is still good, and the sun is warm at noon, it is still a warm spring after all, and it is still relatively cold to be immersed in the cold water of a river.
Not only was it cold, but Du Wei vomited pus and blood in his mouth, and the ribs in his chest were broken three times by Li Zhenxiang's kick just now.
"Done with the errand?"
A general stopped the dazed and shaky Captain Qiao, his eyes fierce like a tiger.
"Captain Yu, this errand has been completed, Mu Shizi has been injured, is Captain Yu ...... Are you considering giving us some broken silver medicine, but your chest is really clogged? ”
A silver ingot fell to the ground, Qiao Duwei lay on the ground and picked up the silver, and called Yu Chunji really a good general, who had the grace of reinvention to his subordinates, and promised that he would go to the soup and fire in this life and swear to serve Captain Yu to the death.
Du Wei looked up, but in front of him was a vast green tree, and Yu Chunji was gone.
Yu Chunji grinned, proud, this Dongqiu knew that in addition to Rin Chen and Rin Fan, there was also Yu Chunji alone, that day in the Xibang camp, Yu Chunji had found that this woman had a purple fragrance flower jade pendant when she sobered up Li Zhenxiang, but the matter of being framed later was not solved by Rinchen, and she was very strange.
Today, Yu Chunji didn't know how to lure Li Zhenxiang out of the mansion and deceived him to the bank of the Qing River, when suddenly a crow flew by, Yu Chunji had an idea, and he thought of using this jade pendant to lure Li Zhenxiang out.
……
In Mu Wangzun's house, Mu Shizi was helped back to the house by Zhenxiang, and the servants thanked Zhenxiang for saving her life, but Zhenxiang was concerned about the injury of the prince, and sat down in front of the bed again to give the prince a good pulse, and wanted to prescribe some prescriptions to reduce fire and reduce inflammation, and his prescription was always much better than the village doctor in the market.
Suddenly, the prince's hand wanted to capture Li Zhenxiang's palm alive, and a long love came towards Zhenxiang.
Zhenxiang immediately retreated for three points, the prince was seriously injured, and he still needed to rest, the girl prescribed a prescription at the table, and ordered the housekeeper to grab the medicine and boil it on time for the prince to take, and he could be cured in seven days.
In the end, the prince did not hold Zhenxiang's hand, but thanked him and gave him a gift.
A day later, all the guards of the entire Mu Shizi Mansion were dispatched to search for the best people and killers in the rivers and lakes all over the city, but Captain Qiao Duwei led the training in the Praetorian Guard, and no one would have thought that the assassin that day was actually in the Emperor's Praetorian Guard.
……
In the imperial city, Yu Shangshu knelt in front of Emperor Dongling and trembled, and a stack of pieces was thrown to the ground by Emperor Dongling, and several copies still fell on the official hat of Yu Shangshu inlaid with blue and purple jewels, almost smashing the official hat off.
"Presumptuous, it's really bold, the sister-in-law of my dignified third prince of Dongqiu was actually stabbed by an assassin at the foot of my imperial city, where are my royal guards, where is my royal dignity, will this assassin still pierce my Jinluan Hall and cut me down with you mediocre officials?"
Yu Shangshu still knelt and kowtowed, silent.
"A few days ago, the dignified criminal department secretary of my court actually colluded with foreign parties, and he concealed it from his superiors and subordinates, and he was suspected of seeking power and usurping the throne, and you were impeached in time, and made great contributions, and I promoted you to the secretary of the criminal department, but now you can't even catch a traitor who is so presumptuous in the capital, and the head of a scholar in this court is not enough, and you have to cut off your head and feed it to the dogs?"
Another fold slapped directly on Yu Shangshu's head.
This Yu Chunji's father didn't know what he had done in recent days, and he actually impeached his boss Lu Shangshu, the secretary of the criminal department, as a traitor, causing Emperor Dongling to destroy Lu Shangshu's family in a fit of rage.
It's just that Mu Shizi was stabbed today, this Mu Shizi is the favorite little nephew of Emperor Dongling, and he was so stabbed and injured at the foot of the imperial city, he vented all his anger on Yu Shangshu, the secretary of the criminal department.
Yu Shangshu is now in charge of criminal justice cases across the country in Dongqiu, and such an important case is naturally placed in the first place.
Yu Shangshu said in a daze that he would catch the assassin within five days and torture him, and if he asked who instructed him, he would definitely give an explanation to the saint.
Emperor Dongling waved his hand and signaled Yu Shangshu to do it immediately, and within five days, he must find out the matter.
"Your Majesty!" Suddenly, Yu Shangshu kowtowed, "Your Majesty, Weichen still has one more thing to report to the emperor!" ”
Emperor Dongling is allowed to play, Yu Shangshu is such an assassin, I am afraid that he will appear again one day if he kills him.
Mu Shizi is elegant by nature, never let the guards follow, often go out alone to play poems, read scriptures, say that only alone in the secluded forest can have a hidden mountain forest state of mind, the poems can be fresh and refined, even if it is not as good as the writers and writers of the past and present, it is by no means a vulgar word recited by the people of the market.
The prince of the world is so temperamental, if he wants to make the son safe, unless the prince himself has a peerless martial arts, he can protect himself in the crisis and have no worries about his life.
Emperor Dongling also agreed with Yu Shangshu's advice, but Mu Shizi was born to love to read poetry and literature, and he has always resisted the practice of martial arts, and he carefully selected several military attaches for Mu Shizi when he was a child.
Now that he has grown up, he resists martial arts, wandering in the green mountains and green waters all day long, Mu Wangye has complained to Emperor Dongling many times, and Emperor Dongling has no choice, the prince is arrogant, so he went with him, who called him Mu Shizi.
Hearing this, Yu Shangshu smiled slightly, and said that Mu Shizi gave the New Year to Emperor Shen of Shen Qing Palace a few days ago, but he already had the intention of practicing martial arts, and he was reluctant to practice martial arts a few years ago just because he did not have a favorite martial artist.
Emperor Dongling was stunned, who is the most suitable martial artist?
Yu Shangshu bowed again: "This is only known to Mu Shizi!" ”
……
In the study of Emperor Dongling, Mu Shizi bowed to the emperor's grandfather.
"Mu Linxiao, how about finding a martial artist for you to learn martial arts?"
Mu Shizi's eyes were stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed, and leaned over to the emperor's table and waved a folding fan: "The minister only wants Li Zhenxiang, the Marquis of Turin!" ”
