Chapter 29: Layout Leads the Way
"That's it! OK! ”
Li Yuanxiao hid his excitement and spoke out to stop the competition between Shen Ning and the guards.
The two of them accepted the recruitment, Shen Ning arched his hand, and the guard bowed admiringly and retreated, convinced.
Shen Ning handed the spear to the people of the Li Mansion, peeked at Li Yuanxiao, saw the excitement in his eyes, and knew that the other party had taken the bait, and then it was up to the other party to ask questions.
When everyone returned to the hall, Yu Meiqian became more and more satisfied with Shen Ning, and she couldn't wait to marry her daughter to him now.
And Li Yuanxiao saw the opportunity, and then asked: "Liu Shu, your marksmanship looks very clever, who did you learn it from?" ”
Shen Ning smiled: "My martial arts were learned from a ranger, and so did my marksmanship. ”
"Oh? Is it? The other party has such a good marksmanship, and he is definitely not a nobody, do you know the name of the other party? Li Yuanxiao asked.
Shen Ning began to show his acting skills, he shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "I'm ashamed to say it, I got along with him for more than half a year, and practiced martial arts with him every day, but I only knew his surname Xu, and I didn't know his name." He went to Qingzhou to find someone, and asked me to help find a teenager about my age. Qingzhou is so big, and he doesn't have specific clues, so the search is fruitless. Later, he left Qingzhou, saying that he had come to Xuzhou. When I came to Xuzhou this time, I wondered if I could meet him. ”
Li Yuanxiao hurriedly asked, "Surname Xu?" Are you sure? ”
Shen Ning nodded and said, "Yes, I overheard him claiming to be there." By the way, he seems to have a deep blood feud, so he doesn't want to reveal his name, for fear of affecting me. I remember when I followed him to practice martial arts, it was in mid-April, I can't remember which day, he was worshipping a person, crying very sadly, saying that men don't flick when they have tears, but they haven't reached the sad place. ”
April 18 was the day when Shen Ning's father, Shen Lie, died in battle.
Hearing Shen Ning's description, Li Yuanxiao's body stiffened, and the wine cup in his hand was directly crushed.
His eyes suddenly turned red, but he quickly recovered with his strong self-control, and said, "It seems that there is also a person with a story, and I don't know if the person he is looking for has been found?" ”
Shen Ning shook his head, saying that he didn't know, and didn't continue to design, because he was afraid of startling the grass and snakes, which would arouse Li Yuanxiao's suspicions.
And now is enough, let Li Yuanxiao take the initiative to guess that his master is Xu Qixing, and at the same time let him understand that Shen Lie's son is likely to be in Xuzhou. Coupled with the pictures hidden in his study before, I believe that Li Yuanxiao will mistakenly think that it was the picture sent to him by Xu Qixing.
This is just the beginning, Shen Ning has other plans, and only after they are interlocked can he find out whether Li Yuanxiao is good or bad. Only by making sure that there is no problem, Shen Ning can reveal his identity.
Don't blame Shen Ning for being too careful, after all, he is the son of a traitor, and Shen Ning doesn't want to be wanted by the world.
Li Qingkong on the side looked at his father, and he was able to crush the wine cup, which already explained the problem. Her gaze moved over Shen Ning and her father, and there was a hint of doubt on her calm face.
This family banquet went on very late, and Shen Ning also drank a lot of wine, so he couldn't shirk Yu Meiqian's good intentions, so he stayed in the Li Mansion, anyway, the Li Mansion was big and there were many empty rooms.
After washing, Shen Ning was about to rest, but there was a sudden knock on the door.
After opening it, it turned out to be Yu Xuefei.
"Why is Miss Yu here, please come in." Shen Ning stretched out his hand to invite.
Yu Xuefei snorted: "Lonely man and widow, how can I enter your room!" I can't beat you, in case you don't have a good heart. ”
Shen Ning sighed, clutched his chest and said, "Xue Fei, we both have skin to skin, your words make me so sad." ”
"Ah, shut up!" Yu Xuefei roared angrily and threatened: "I came to you to warn you that you are not allowed to tell anyone what happened in the carriage that day, if anyone else knows, I will, I will... Won't let you go anyway. ”
"Hey, you reminded me in time, I'll go to my aunt now and explain our affairs clearly." Shen Ning finished speaking and left.
Yu Xuefei felt that she was about to be driven crazy, this guy didn't play cards according to common sense at all, so she begged: "I'm wrong, don't mess around, if you say it, it's not good for you." ”
"Then you should be honest in the future, don't target me if you have nothing to do, otherwise don't blame me for being quick-mouthed." Shen Ning said with a smile.
Yu Xuefei bit her lip and nodded, she knew that this was the result, and she shouldn't have come now.
"It's not early, don't send it slowly, or come in?" Shen Ning said with a smile.
Yu Xuefei threw a porcelain vase to Shen Ning, and then fled.
Shen Ning picked up the porcelain bottle, opened it and smelled it, it turned out to be the best gold sore medicine.
"This little girl's skin, knife mouth tofu heart."
"In addition, the rumors have spread, if they are not stopped, they will definitely become more and more divided, and the head of Pengcheng should also come forward."
Shen Ning clenched the porcelain vase and waited for the next good show to be staged.
......
As Shen Ning expected.
In the early morning of the next day, Shen Ning was practicing marksmanship, and Li Yuanxiao took the initiative to come and personally guide Shen Ning, which benefited Shen Ning a lot, and many awkward places were corrected.
There are famous teachers on the side to guide, and the progress is really fast.
After practicing marksmanship, Li Yuanxiao said: "Liushu, after breakfast, you go out with me and go to the Southeast Palace." ”
"Southeast Palace? Uncle Li, what are you doing there? Shen Ning pretended to be surprised.
Li Yuanxiao said with a smile: "Last time you and Xue Fei were assassinated, and Xue Fei was a distinguished guest from Yangzhou, the assassin has not been caught until now, so the prince personally interrogated." When you get there, just tell me the truth, I'm here, don't worry. ”
"Nephew understands." Shen Ning nodded.
After eating, Shen Ning left the mansion with Li Yuanxiao and went to the southeast palace.
The residence of Sima Yue, the king of the southeast, was located in the center of the south of the city, and was a large garden and heavily guarded. As the king of Xuzhou, Sima Yue is the emperor of the soil, but I heard that he is not in good health.
Because of following Li Yunxiao, Shen Ning entered the palace unimpeded, but the flying knives and daggers on his body were taken away, making Shen Ning's heart empty.
When I came to a reception tea room, I didn't expect that there were already people using tea inside, and one of them was an acquaintance, who was the head of the Xuanji Dao.
Seeing the Xuanji Daoist, Li Yuanxiao's face turned cold, his eyes moved away from him, fell on another middle-aged man, and arched his hand: "Meet Lord Wang." ”
The man smiled: "General Li is polite. ”
Shen Ning immediately knew that the middle-aged man was Wang Beixuan's father and the state pastor of Xuzhou.
Although Xuanjizi is a person of the Heavenly Master's Dao, he has no official position, so he took the initiative to get up and visit: "Poor Dao Xuanjizi meets General Li!" After many years of not seeing, General Li is still brave and mighty. ”
Li Yuanxiao sneered and said, "It turned out to be you, I really didn't recognize it just now." You don't shrink in the imperial capital, what are you doing in Pengcheng? Could it be that I have messed up your Heavenly Dao and come to kill me? ”
"How dare you be poor, General Li guards the military affairs of a state, loves soldiers like a son, is a model military general, and a good general of the Great Jin Dynasty. Someone dared to offend General Li, and Poor Dao disagreed for the first time. "Xuanjizi didn't dare to hold it up in front of Li Yuanxiao.
Li Yuanxiao looked at his face in his eyes, stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling person, and did not continue to say anything.
The four of them made a moment for a while, and the steward of the palace came to invite, and the four of them moved to the study to meet Sima Yue, the king of the southeast.
The four of them entered an elegant and spacious study, and Sima Yue, the king of the southeast, stayed in the screen, coughing incessantly, and sure enough, as rumored, he was sick.
Sima Yue did not come out, but directly ordered through the screen: "This king summoned you here today for two things. First, the assassins in the city assassinated Miss Yujia, and the assassins have not found it until now, so how can this king explain to the predecessors of the Yu family? It happened that Yuan Xiao brought the boy who repelled the assassins that day, and it was up to him to talk about the situation at that time, which was also convenient for pursuit. The second thing is about the rumors in the city. ”
Sima Yue's tone was slightly weak, lacking in qi, but the majesty in his words was unquestionable.
