Chapter 46: Conspiracy
The sharp feeling on his neck was obvious, Ye Lingyi stared at the person opposite with wide eyes, and only felt that his eyes were extremely good, and when he looked at people, there was always something as elusive as a fox, as if he had seen it somewhere. Look at 1 gross 2 lines 3 Chinese net
The light in the man's eyes moved, and he took the initiative to bend down to stare into her eyes, and his voice had a mocking smile: "Have you seen me?" Why do you look obsessed with me? ”
"Less nonsense!" Ye Lingyi moved her arm in annoyance.
The man seemed to be afraid that he would really hurt her, so he immediately said: "The sword has no eyes, if you don't want to be in a different place, it's better not to move nonsense!" ”
At this moment, she suddenly felt that this voice sounded familiar, like someone......
"You're Helian Che?"
The tentative question was not answered in exchange, and Ye Lingyi was even more sure of his conjecture.
"You're Helian Che!"
She unconsciously raised her voice.
The smile in the man's eyes deepened, and the short blade was withdrawn after a few obedient turns between his fingers, sighing: "It seems that the little minion is not stupid to the extreme!" ”
As soon as the knuckled hand returned the short blade to the scabbard, he was kicked in the calf.
The big man of 188 immediately bent down in pain and asked angrily: "How dare the dog slave commit a crime?" ”
"What did you say?" Ye Lingyi narrowed her eyes and slowly approached him: "Now you and I are both thieves who trespass on people's houses, where do you come from and where do you come from?" ”
The man was in pain, so his expression was crumpled.
The girl smiled proudly, put the long sword on his neck, and said unhurriedly: "Say, where is the old man?" ”
"Who are you talking about?"
"Don't pretend to be confused for me, didn't you collude with the old man in advance to set up an ambush here today?"
"Green kite!" Helian Che suddenly retracted the expression on her face and became serious, regardless of the fact that her sword was still on her neck, "With me tonight, you will definitely not be able to kill that person." ”
Ye Lingyi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Why?" ”
"Because I won't let you kill him! You don't even understand why the Queen Mother sent you to kill this old man, and you don't even know the identity of Liu Shilang, how dare you do it easily? Do you know that I am waiting here to kill the people sent by the Queen Mother, if I hadn't recognized you just now, I'm afraid you will be killed by me the moment the brocade tent is opened! ”
"You say...... Squire? Ye Lingyi didn't care about Helian Che's other words, but focused on the word squire.
So the portrait of the old man is an official?
Helian Che frowned: "You really didn't know anything and came here." ”
She was just doing what she was told, what should she know?
Ye Lingyi still looked confused, she had already guessed in her heart that Empress Liang's sudden order to kill someone would be related to Li Yuanlin's assassination, after all, the two events happened too closely, but she really didn't think that Empress Liang would let her assassinate the official.
As the saying goes, barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes, but she is different, she has died once and knows the fear of death, so she is afraid of death and cherishes her life more. Look at 1 gross 2 lines 3 Chinese net
"Liu Shilang is a member of the Ministry of War, and the Queen Mother sent you to perhaps realize that the identity of the assassin last time was related to him. Because Liu Shilang is Huoda's cousin, he has long advocated that the emperor be in power, and the queen mother has a grudge against him, and this matter is in the middle of the queen mother's arms. Just by taking advantage of this relationship with Huoda, Liu Shilang was given the hat of committing suicide after assassinating the emperor and plotting rebellion, if you really helped Liu Shilang to torture and kill Liu Shilang, and the crime of treason was confirmed, I am afraid that it will not only be Liu Shilang who will die at that time, but the entire Liu family. ”
Helian Che patiently explained that Ye Lingyi's anger was greater than shock.
Although she always knew that Empress Liang was treacherous and vicious, she never thought that the degree of evil, she thought that it was nothing to kill a wicked person in order to save her life, but Empress Liang actually asked her to do the evil thing of destroying the whole family.
"Damn! I can't bear it! She couldn't help but sigh!
At that time, there was a slight movement outside the door.
The man tilted his ears and pulled Ye Lingyi, who was gritting his teeth and angry, to his side and hid it.
Then I saw that the door of the dim room was pushed open, and the figure of the man walked in vigilantly, and the knife in his hand was reflected in the snow outside the house.
Ye Lingyi took a closer look, only to find that the person who came was Tang Luo.
How did he get in? Didn't you say that you would come in to help her if you had to sound the arrows?
Did she send out the arrows?
Ye Lingyi frowned and recalled, when she was sure that the arrow was in her hand, she didn't even make a loud sound, and she was strangled by Helian Che in her hand.
"Stop!"
At this time, Helian Che, who could have been undiscovered, deliberately spoke out to attract Tang Luo's attention.
At this moment, Ye Lingyi finally learned to be clever, and immediately stuffed the sword into Helian Che's hand, while he grabbed his hand tightly and turned around, his neck perfectly attached to the sword body to make a situation of being held hostage.
"Tang Luo!" Ye Lingyi saw the "savior" panic and shouted.
Helian Che was slightly surprised by the girl's performance, but he also stopped Tang Luo, who was about to swing his knife: "Stop!" You'd better not be smart, if you want this woman to live, get me out now! ”
Ye Lingyi was very cooperative, and said in fear: "Tang Luo, he was the assassin who assassinated the emperor that day!" I don't want to die, you snap his words to do! Otherwise he would have killed me! The old man was injured by him just now, and I don't know if he is dead or not! ”
Helian's clear eyes trembled, his eyes were full of incredulity, and he said in his heart: She actually guessed that he would use his identity as an assassin to create the illusion that Liu Shilang was assassinated?
This is the first time that the two have a heart-to-heart match.
Tang Xiao didn't know, his gaze was like an icy ridge, and his voice was as heavy as a thousand-year-old ice: "If you dare to hurt her, I guarantee that you won't be able to get out today!" ”
"You can try! See if I die first or if she dies first! ”
Helian Che "viciously" pressed his sword close to Ye Lingyi's neck.
The reason why these two acted so arbitrarily was because they both clearly knew that Ye Lingyi was still useful to Empress Liang, and even if the people around Empress Liang didn't care about Ye Lingyi, they had to think about how to deal with Empress Liang afterwards.
Sure enough, Tang hesitated slightly.
Seeing this, Ye Lingyi simply "cried" with rain, and in order to make the play enough, he took the opportunity to add a fierce firewood, took the initiative to stick to the sword body, and deliberately let the sharp tip of the sharp blade scratch the skin on his neck.
The skin on the neck was already fragile, and when it was slightly broken, warm blood immediately overflowed from the wound and dripped down the blade.
Helian Che's hand shook uncontrollably, and the shock in his eyes was so great that he was almost exposed.
Fortunately, Ye Lingyi grabbed his hand and secretly tightened it, as if silently telling him that he was fine.
Helian Che naturally couldn't live up to her good intentions, so he immediately said with cold eyes: "Didn't you hear my words clearly?" Need I say it again? If you don't get out, I'll kill this woman right away! ”
The two joined forces to act, although Tang Luo also vaguely felt that something was wrong, but in order to protect Ye Lingyi, he obediently put down the weapon in his hand and retreated.
The masked Helian Che "hijacked" Ye Lingyi and walked out.
"You can let her go now, right?" Tang Luo didn't dare to slack off, staring at the masked Helian Che and the sword in his hand that was stained with Ye Lingyi's blood.
Helian Che narrowed his eyes slightly and ordered, "Just in case, you raise your hand first and turn around!" ”
"Don't go too far!"
Tang Luo came out of the poor mountains and bad waters after nine deaths and a lifetime, he was a person with a very bad temper, and his willingness to put down his weapon just now was already a big concession, and now Helian Che's request almost touched the bottom line of his forbearance.
Helian Che seemed to be deliberately provocative, his jaw was slightly raised, and even his gaze became irresistible, as if as long as Tang was slightly disobedient, he would immediately do something that he would regret for the rest of his life.
For the sake of Ye Lingyi's safety, Tang Luo still chose to endure and turned around according to his words.
The sword in Helian Che's hand was immediately withdrawn, frowning and carefully checking Ye Lingyi's injury, confirming that it was only a minor injury, he reprimanded in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "It's just nonsense!" Luckily, it's just a scratch! ”
Ye Lingyi covered her neck and said with a smile: "I'm fine, you can go quickly!" I know how to cope! ”
Helian Che looked at Tang Luo's back with cold eyebrows: "I have already arranged it, and Liu Shilang will bring someone from the military department over in a while!" It's this person, he is a henchman of Queen Liang, it's hard to deal with, you have to be careful! ”
"Got it, got it, let's go! I'm afraid he's going to be suspicious after a long time! Ye Lingyi kept urging.
Helian Che glanced at Ye Lingyi deeply, and only then did he take three steps and two steps to jump onto the wall, and disappeared in the Shilang Mansion like a gust of wind.
Ye Lingyi pondered for a while, and immediately made a "painful" expression, and sat on the ground with weak legs.
Tang Luo turned around when he heard the movement, and saw Ye Lingyi's appearance and hurriedly stepped forward: "You are injured!" ”
Ye Lingyi didn't speak, just bit her lip and frowned, her pale little face was very pitiful. Seeing that the big man on the other side felt a faint pain in his heart.
After a while, there were neat footsteps outside the wall, accompanied by the moving firelight.
"Not good!" Tang Luo tightened his brows, their identities are special and cannot be discovered, in case the Queen Mother is implicated, not only will they not be able to protect themselves, maybe the Queen Mother will kill innocents indiscriminately in order to block the mouths of the people!
Thinking of this, Tang Luo helped Ye Lingyi up from the ground: "Can you go?" ”
At this moment, the man's concerned look was not hypocritical, and Ye Lingyi nodded. Reluctantly jumped onto the courtyard wall and left.
Farther away, the snow-covered rooftops of the night alternate between light and dark.
The young squire stood on the rooftop, greeting his master from near and far.
The man's footsteps slowly stopped.
The young attendant immediately went up: "The master is back, how is it?" ”
The man knew that what he was referring to was Liu Shilang.
The face towel was taken off to reveal a handsome face, and the man's face had a sad expression: "I was going to kill the person sent by Empress Liang to assassinate tonight, and then create the incident that Liu Shilang was injured by an assassin, but unfortunately it was not an ordinary assassin who came tonight." ”
"What does the master mean is that the plan failed?"
"No," the man looked into the distance, the moving light of the fire like a beating star in his eyes, "there was an episode, but the result was much the same. Liu Shilang is an old minister of the two dynasties, and his prestige in the court is quite high, as long as he stands still, the queen of the Liang is just around the corner! ”
Inside the Saint-Nin Palace.
"What did you say?" Liang Hou's face is still charming, and it is extremely gloomy.
Tang lowered his head slightly and replied reverently: "When the green kite entered Liu Shilang's house, he happened to encounter an assassin who assassinated Liu Shilang. It's a pity that he didn't have time to kill him and was broken by the green kite, in a hurry, the assassin used the green kite to coerce the subordinate to exit the house, and when the subordinate came back to his senses, the assassin had already gone away, and the green kite was seriously injured, at that time Liu Shilang's subordinates arrived, and the subordinate had to take the green kite to leave first! ”
"That's what the wolf cub told you?"
Liang Hou's eyes were shrewd.
Tang slightly frowned and did not speak.
Liang Hou asked again: "Can you find out why Liu Shilang was assassinated?" Who did it? ”
"As expected, it should be a group of assassins in the hunting ground, and it is said that it was because Liu Shilang was secretly investigating the assassination of the emperor's hunting ground, and the assassins found him."
"Oh? How did the Assassins learn about Liu Shilang's assassination in the Emperor's hunting ground, something that even the mourners didn't know? After a moment, Liang Hou raised his scalp and smiled and curled the corners of his mouth: "This thing is very interesting, there are still people in my Western Dynasty who can have this ability to walk under the nose of the mourning family." How is Liu Shilang's injury? ”
"It's very heavy, three ribs were broken, the knife entered the spleen and almost died, the Shilang Mansion went to the doctor one after another, and it never stopped for a day, even the silver imperial doctor sent by the emperor did not dare to guarantee that Liu Shilang's life was worry-free, especially the emperor, who personally went to the Shilang Mansion today."
"So......" Empress Liang didn't care very much, took two steps forward, Yun Yi fluttered a pair of beautiful feet and stepped on the lotus step to move to a large vat in the hall, and his delicate fingers picked up the bamboo stick and teased the koi fish in the water tank and said: "The eyes of all the courtiers at this juncture must be on Liu Shilang, I'm afraid I won't be able to move him in the short term!" Let's see how things play out! ”
"Yes!" After waiting for a while, Liang didn't mean to speak again, so Tang Luo said: "The subordinate retires!" ”
Just as he was about to withdraw, Liang Hou suddenly spoke again: "Oh, that girl! ”
Tang Luo knew that the girl in Liang Hou's mouth was referring to Ye Lingyi, so he stopped.
Liang Hou continued: "You go and spread the word, let that girl keep an eye on the emperor for me, many things the mourning family doesn't like to say a second time, if the mourning family finds out that there is a little perfunctory or self-clever, the mourning family will definitely take her life!" ”
