Chapter 189: Leaving the City
In the study, Helian Che, who was sitting in front of the bookcase, looked thoughtfully at a neatly folded bright red Xipa on the table.
Wu Yuanzhou paced back and forth in front of the bookcase, chattering endlessly, and suddenly saw Helian Che's absent-minded appearance, he was extremely dissatisfied and stopped his steps, and patted the bookcase: "Ah Che, can you hear me talking to you?" ”
Helian Che came back to his senses and looked up at Wu Yuanzhou.
"What do you think of this?"
Wu Yuanzhou asked, but Helian Che didn't listen to his words, and asked blankly, "What's the matter?" ”
Wu Yuanzhou was speechless, and rolled his eyes widely, like a little daughter-in-law holding back her anger: "After talking to me for so long, you didn't listen to anything?" ”
Helian Che didn't answer, with an expression that he liked to talk about, he reached out and carefully took the Xipa on the table into his arms.
Wu Yuanzhou suddenly felt that talking so much to this person with a weak temperament was boring, so he touched his nose and softened his tone: "I'm asking you, what do you think of the emperor's intention to let you succeed Cheng Ji?" ”
Helian Che glanced up at him, but still didn't speak.
I got up and walked to the lattice shelf, flipped through the bamboo slips, and read them.
Wu Yuanzhou followed closely behind him and said anxiously: "Haven't you always wanted your son to inherit his father's business?" So what are you waiting for? Now as long as you nod, you can inherit the legacy of General Lao Pingyuan, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Are you willing to give up in vain? ”
Helian Che himself was not in a hurry, but he choked Wu Yuanzhou so much that he lived like an old mother who hated iron but not steel, with her hands on her hips, blowing her beard and glaring.
"When did I say I was going to give up? There will always be a day when the closure will come to fruition. Helian Che closed the bamboo slip, glanced at the angry Wu Yuanzhou, and said with a smile: "It's you, why are you more anxious than me?" ”
"Can I not be in a hurry? You're my best buddy, can I watch such a great opportunity fall to someone else? ”
Wu Yuanzhou said with righteous indignation.
Helian Che looked at him, smiled helplessly, and shook his head.
At this time, Qingfeng pushed the door and came in.
"Master!" Qingfeng shook Helian Che, his face solemn.
"What?"
Qingfeng glanced at Wu Yuanzhou on the side again, paused, and said, "Something happened to the prison, someone broke into the prison, and burned Cheng Ji's father and son alive with a fire." ”
"What?" Wu Yuanzhou was taken aback, and looked at Helian Che with a cold face, "The heavenly prison is heavily guarded, who can break into the prison to kill people?" ”
Qing Feng didn't answer for the time being, turned his head and called out the door: "Come in!" ”
As soon as the words fell, a soldier with his neck covered walked in, knelt in front of Helian Che, trembling and not daring to speak.
Qingfeng: "Say, tell me everything you see!" ”
The soldier looked at Helian Che and saw that the face of the powerful man in front of him was the same, so he boldly said: "Back to Lord Helian, I will find an assassin in the prison, and she broke into the prison and killed Cheng Ji's father and son. ”
"What about people?" Helian Che looked at him condescendingly.
The soldier wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Run...... Run! ”
"Ran away?" Wu Yuanzhou was the first to speak, and raised his tail in surprise, "The Heavenly Prison was originally under the jurisdiction of Cheng Ji, and there were seventy or eighty people just by sending troops, don't tell me that this assassin is an immortal and can escape from the siege of seventy or eighty people!" Or is it ...... You declared a personal vendetta, first set fire to Cheng Ji, and then faked that it was an assassin? ”
When the soldier heard Wu Yuanzhou say this, he hurriedly defended: "My lord, you just give your subordinates a hundred dares, and your subordinates don't dare to do this!" We didn't kill people, they were really assassins! ”
Fang Cai also tried his best to defend himself, and suddenly his tone weakened again: "It's just that we went out for a while, which gave the assassins a chance, killed more than a dozen of our brothers, and went to the prison and burned Cheng Ji's father and son." ”
"Out for a while?" Wu Yuanzhou always likes to focus on the key points so much, and asked: "You are on duty, where have you been?" ”
When the soldier saw that he couldn't hold back on the matter, he hurriedly kowtowed to Helian Che: "Lord Helian, your subordinates should be damned!" Spare your subordinates! ”
Qingfeng on the side was anxious, and reprimanded: "Don't tell all the important things quickly!" ”
"Anything else?" Wu Yuanzhou was puzzled.
The soldier was shocked and hurriedly said, "Yes! Lord Helian, his subordinates fought the woman when they intercepted the Assassins! Unfortunately, she was hit in the neck with a knife, and then her subordinates and brothers smelled a burst of fireworks, and they only felt dizzy and couldn't stand, and finally they suddenly fainted for some reason, and when we woke up again, the female assassin was gone. ”
"Wait, you say woman?" In an instant, a smart woman's face appeared in Wu Yuanzhou's mind, and he looked at Helian Che suddenly: "Could it be a green kite?" ”
Helian Che held a heart and asked, "Can you see her appearance clearly?" ”
Asked about this, the soldier nodded: "Look, it's the woman on the portrait wanted in the city!" ”
The moment he got the answer, Helian Che's hand holding the bamboo slip suddenly tightened, and then loosened it again, his expression tense.
"It's a green kite!" Wu Yuanzhou's face was overjoyed, and then he was worried: "Trespassing into the heavenly prison and killing the court felon, this is a capital crime of killing the head!" If the green kite doesn't want to die, I'm afraid it can only stay away from Tokyo City and the Western Dynasty! ”
Away from the Western Dynasty......
Helian Che's heart sank suddenly.
couldn't stay any longer, so he walked out of the door, and instructed Qingfeng, who was in a hurry, to say, "Detain all these people who have left their posts without permission!" Waiting for the Minister of Military Aircraft to personally send it down! ”
Turning his head, his eyes swept over the guards waiting outside the door, and said in a deep voice: "Others, follow me!" ”
The rolling wheels of horse-drawn carriages raced through the bustling streets of Tokyo.
Inside the carriage, the four of them looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a little heavy.
recalled that just now, Ye Lingyi went down to the bottom of the cliff, and suddenly said to Le Ya and Ye Cheng that he would take them out of Tokyo City together.
Le Ya cried with a sad face, looked at the large bags of luggage piled up around her, and shook Ye Lingyi's arm: "Qing Kite, do we really want to leave?" ”
"You don't want to go? Why don't you let Ah Dong stop, and you go down and stay here by yourself? Ye Cheng interjected, not forgetting to roll his eyes.
"No, if you want to go, I'm sure I'm going to be with you too, but ...... Didn't I think it was too sudden? Le Ya sneered.
Ye Lingyi looked at her and asked, "Have you brought all the things?" ”
"You can rest assured of this! Phantom and your personal belongings are all here! ”
Ye Lingyi nodded, looked at Le Ya quietly, and raised the corners of her lips slightly: "Thank you!" ”
Leya scratched her head in embarrassment.
Ye Lingyi turned to Wan Yan Naqi again: "By the way, I haven't asked you yet!" Didn't you stay at an inn? Why did you hear Ah Dong say that you had already started sleeping near the barren mountains before you went to the prison with me? ”
Wan Yan Naqi smiled, recalling the night when Helian Che led his troops into the inn.
At that time, Ah Dong was guarding the roof, and saw a group of Western Dynasty soldiers with knives from a distance, knowing that the comer was not good, so he notified the others as quickly as possible, and those Western Dynasty soldiers left the inn one step earlier.
"It's nothing, we have a special identity, just to avoid suspicion!"
As soon as he said this, Ye Lingyi immediately knew that they were being targeted.
After a short silence, Wan Yan said, "Are you really willing to go back to Blackwater with me like this?" ”
"Third Prince, I'm all in your car, does it look like I'm joking? Could it be that the third prince doesn't believe me at all? Ye Lingyi seemed to be smiling.
Wanyan Naqi coughed dryly, a little unnatural: "You still call me Wanyan Naqi!" ”
After a pause, he said: "When I was outside the prison, Ah Dong and I saw that you were in prison, so we went back to the neighborhood and took a mandala, which has been lit, and the wind direction is right, those Western Dynasty soldiers are destined to have nothing to do with you, why do you still take the initiative to provoke them and not kill the person who attacked you?" If I'm not mistaken, you're doing this to make that Western Dynasty soldier see your appearance clearly, so that Helian Che can come here! ”
Faced with this speculation, Ye Lingyi did not deny it, nor did she make a sound, just looked at him.
After a long time, a few smiles flowed in those big black and white eyes: "You are really smart!" ”
Hearing her generously admit it, Wan Yan Naqi didn't show much surprise, just looked at her incomprehensibly.
"Then let me guess," Ye Lingyi raised her chin slightly, looked at Wan Yan Naqi, and smiled sweetly: "You are now doubting what my purpose is for agreeing to go to Heishui with you, and you also suspect that I brought Helian Che here to arrest you!" ”
"Isn't it?" Wan Yan's incomprehensible eyes finally turned into suspicion without concealment.
Ye Lingyi didn't speak, raised his hand to open the curtain of the carriage, and happened to pass by the city gate at this time.
The guard is talking to Adong.
Ah Dong changed his old appearance, and approached the guard with a stammering face: "Official, we are from Jinyulou, and today we went out of the city to buy it, and the cars are all rough men from our building." ”
As he spoke, he diligently stuffed a bag of silver into the guard's hand.
The guard general lowered his eyebrows and looked at the bulging money bag in his hand, checked it, and then looked back at the other guards, and smiled: "It turned out to be Hu Ren!" Recently, the lockdown order has been lifted, but the wanted is not yet removed, you can go out of the city, as long as there is no wanted criminal in the car! ”
Ah Dong smiled, bent down slightly, made a standard appearance of "nodding and bowing", and flattered: "The official is serious, we will definitely cooperate with your errand!" ”
With that, the guard approached, stretched out his saber, lifted the curtain of the carriage with his scabbard and looked inside.
Le Ya was nervous, twisting her fingers for fear of being recognized.
Ye Lingyi, who was sitting sideways with her, was surprisingly calm, but the hand hidden behind her had already touched the short knife silently.
Fortunately, the general accepted the money and did not make it carefully, but only lowered the curtain after a cursory glance.
Ye Lingyi's hand that clenched the knife let go.
"Official, can we go?"
The guard had some suspicion on his face and asked, "The man in the car is also a rough guy in your building?" ”
Ah Dong's eyes were slightly sparkling, his smile remained unchanged, and he immediately replied like a stream: "I really don't hide it from the official, that's the young owner in our building!" The old owner is old, and he plans to hand over the Jinyulou to the young owner to manage, but he is afraid that he will not be competent, so he wants to use this time to go out of the city to buy and let him try his luck! ”
"I see." The guard suddenly, "I say, how can a rough servant be so brightly dressed?" It turned out to be the young owner of Jinyulou. ”
Ah Dong continued to smile.
After a moment, the guard waved his hand to signal for release: "Let's go!" ”
"Thank you, Lord!" Ah Dong was overjoyed, and he didn't want to stay here for a moment, so he immediately jumped into the carriage and whipped the horse.
After the carriage drove out of the city gate smoothly, Le Ya excitedly said to Adong, who was driving the horse: "I really didn't expect you to have such a bad mouth, you won't spare anyone, and you can act so well at critical moments!" ”
When Ah Dong heard this, he was complimented by himself, and said with a smile: "What is this!" I only hope that the three people from the south and northwest who rode out of the city in the back will not use the excuse of Jinyulou anymore, otherwise they will have to wear a gang! ”
"Leya, where's my stuff?" Ye Lingyi suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two.
Le Ya was puzzled, not understanding why she suddenly asked this question, and pointed to her seat: "Phantom is here!" ”
He pointed to Ye Lingyi's seat again: "The other things are there!" ”
Ye Lingyi didn't say a word, lifted the curtain of the carriage window, and looked outside, until the tower of Tokyo City finally shouted at Adong, who was rushing to the car, after only a thumb-sized microcosm was left in the city tower of Tokyo City: "Stop!" ”
When the carriage and horse slowly stopped, he looked at Wan Yan Naqi again: "Aren't you curious why I want to bring Helian Che here?" Then you see! ”
With that, he leaned over and took out a package from under his seat, grabbed the short blade, and took out a rabbit cage from under Leya's seat, lifted the carriage curtain, and jumped down neatly.
