Chapter 57: The Overseer's Twin Brother
Hiss –
In the small pavilion with little space, the bloody aura suddenly spread.
Yu Xuanji's five fingers just grabbed Lu Qiange's shirt, his face turned extremely painful, and his five fingers trembled and bent his back.
"How are you?"
Leng Qingtang's face was worried, and he had to get out of bed when he spoke.
Lu Qiange hugged Yu Xuanji with his backhand, and there was no blame on his face:
"Believe me, I never knew that he was such a ruthless person, I only heard that the master and Concubine Xiao were old acquaintances, and he would teach the South China Xin martial arts to the old man when he remembered the love of the past, and taught him to pretend to be stupid in front of others, just to live a good life in the deep palace, and not to be easily calculated to die."
Yu Xuanji sat on the edge of the bed, his face was sallow, the sweat droplets of beans were dripping down, and he sneered in a heavy snort:
"Hmph, Taoguang is really wonderful. He has lived a good life, but now he is a tiger and his wings are stiff, but he calculates our lives! ”
Leng Qingtang gently uncovered the man's fiery lotus fairy clothes, and saw that blood seeped out from the back of the middle coat, and his eyes darkened, and he said kind words to comfort:
"Stop making a fuss, carefully open the wound."
Yu Xuanji's head hung down heavily, and his teeth clenched his pale lips, so painful that he no longer spoke.
Lu Qiange took out a small oval porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a small red ball, and handed it to Yu Xuanji's hand:
"Here, the red jade pill can help you stop the bleeding."
Yu Xuanji looked up at him with difficulty, silently took the pill, and swallowed it in one gulp.
South China Ji Yan stood aside with her hands folded, staring at the once messy scene, and her memories were filled with piles of past events.
The girl frowned sadly, her eyes were full of water, she looked at Yu Xuanji and Leng Qingtang, and the corners of her mouth were pressed resentfully:
"The two of you have a tacit understanding, a fake eunuch, a beautiful Taoist, what are you trying to do when you see Tian'er guarding my father's side in the past? Now that my plan has failed, I hate my imperial brother for coming, but in my eyes, there is no difference between you two and him! ”
"What did you say—"
Yu Xuanji was furious when she heard this, and her cold gaze swept towards the girl.
If it weren't for the pain in his back, he would have flown up and grabbed her slender neck, breaking it in an instant.
Leng Qingtang was stunned for a moment, and was speechless.
Lu Qiange walked towards her in a few steps, and scolded with a white face:
"What are you messing with, don't follow me if you talk nonsense, go wherever you like!"
South China Ji Yan was immediately even more aggrieved, her eyes were misty with tears, and she trembled and sobbed:
"I'm homeless, where can I go without you? I'm not wrong, the two of them are also coveting my father's country. But I just want to say, no matter how you fight and how you fight, Lord Leng, you are always the royal family of Dayi, and like my father and brother, you are all surnamed 'South China'! ”
Heartbroken, the girl cried and pushed the door and ran out of the pavilion.
Lu Qiange sighed in annoyance, slammed the door shut, and slowly walked to the bed:
"Ji Yan, she is not a ...... with a heart"
The expression of ice and snow stagnant slowly melted away from Leng Qingtang's white and emaciated face, and he smiled bitterly:
"I understand what she means, what she said is not wrong, my dispute with her father and her brother is nothing more than the pursuit of imperial power in the eyes of others, and it is destined to be shameful."
"Brother He......"
Seeing the man bow his head gloomily, Yu Xuanji put one hand on his shoulder and comforted him carefully:
"Now that the arrow is ready to be fired, even if you and I want to get out of the way, what about the brothers in Dongchang, Huai'an, and the informants in the palace? We can't leave them alone. ”
Leng Qingtang nodded silently, his eyes locked on the gorgeous Persian carpet under his feet, and fell into a moment of deep thought.
Suddenly looking up, he looked at Lu Qiange and instructed:
"You should go and coax Ji Yan, she is a good girl. In the past, you were used to wandering the rivers and lakes, and suddenly there were many people around you, how to get along with each other was a matter of knowledge. ”
"Forehead ......"
Lu Qiange's face turned red, showing some crampedness, turned his head to look at the door, and said:
"Then you can talk about things, I'll go over and take a look, and I'll arrange someone to change the medicine for the national teacher later."
The door closed, the footsteps sounded far away, and the small pavilion fell into a silence that had never been heard of before.
“… The clouds and tides are small and ......"
Leng Qingtang looked at the handsome man with empty eyes in surprise:
"You already know? … Xuanji, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you on purpose, I just want to protect her well before the big thing happens, so that her identity can't be leaked out in any way......"
The cold-looking man waved his hand to interrupt Leng Qingtang, and looked at him in pairs, his facial features twitched as if he was enduring the great pain of his body and mind:
"I'm not a good brother, and in the end I can't live with her. That year, you were poisoned by Minglan's treachery, and I couldn't bear to see you suffer, so I instigated Yunxi to go to Mingfu to change the antidote......"
Tears rolled down, and the man's weak heart could no longer withstand the pressure of bone-eroding grief, so he threw himself on Leng Qingtang's chest, crying and repenting:
"I didn't know that she was Xiao Ruo, she was my sister who I had been looking for for many years, and I was troubled several times when she changed her appearance and entered the palace. Brother He, scold me and beat me, so that my heart will feel better. I really deserve to die, I don't deserve to be a descendant of the Zheng family, and I'm even more sorry Pei Erniang......"
Leng Qingtang's heart was like a knife for a while, his phoenix eyes and nose gradually became wet and red, and he only whispered to the sad figure of the man in the misty vision:
"I don't blame you, I don't blame you, I should be responsible for that incident, I was too selfish, and I took advantage of your brothers and sisters. Xuanji... Ah Xiu, we are almost in Weihai, and we are about to meet Xiao Ruo. In the future, everything will be fine, it will all be fine. ”
——
The red sun sank into the horizon, the afterglow of the sparkling gold on the vast water was fading away, the sky was purple, and the stars were brilliant.
The man in the black robe stood on the bow of the boat with his hands in his hands, facing the sea and listening to the report of his subordinates, and his handsome facial features became tighter and tighter.
"Is the message accurate?" He asked.
Behind him, a man dressed as a fan guard knelt on one knee and held his head firm:
"Our people are on the ship of the eunuch who announced the decree, and they witnessed the shipwreck of Leng Qingtang's fleet."
The dark eyes of the man in the black robe condensed into points, and he slowly spoke:
"Sure enough, as this king expected, Hua Nanxin really couldn't wait for a moment. At present, according to the calculation of time and day, then Eunuch Liu should have arrived in Weihai, so the next person that Huananxin wants to deal with must be Min Rui! ”
Fanwei continued:
"Please rest assured, the subordinates have made proper arrangements, and they will definitely let Cheng Wanli and others save the lives of Min Guogong."
The black hair of the man in the black robe was melodious in the wind, and a pair of deep phoenix eyes looked at the wide sea, watching thousands of dark blue and silver-white light lines intertwined, and the layers of undercurrents continued, and his expression escaped into a solemn expression:
"It's okay to leave Min Rui's life for the time being for the sake of Dongqingshui Division, but it's just a pity that the ninth brother of this king pretends to be a eunuch and endures humiliation, and he has been in the power field for more than ten years but ends up buried at the bottom of the sea...... That's it, I'll finish your unfinished business for you......"
Closing his eyes, the man silently recited in his heart:
If you can't let go, I'll protect you......
A large hand flipped into the open coat.
At the stern of the boat, Gu Yunxi was hiding behind the mast that several people were hugging, listening intently to the conversation of the people at the bow of the boat.
Just now, Qing'er's strange behavior finally made Gu Yunxi suspicious. She escaped from the bedchamber and looked down from the third floor, where she saw the Overseer leading the men on deck.
Gu Yunxi came downstairs lightly and went around to the stern, wanting to eavesdrop on what they were saying.
It's a pity that the distance is a little far, and I can't hear any other sounds except the whistling sea breeze in my ears.
The girl was anxious, and her burning eyes peeked into the bow of the ship, and she saw her overseer draw a flute from her overcoat.
As if he was struck by a thunderbolt all over his body, Gu Yunxi was stunned on the spot for a moment, his apricot eyes flickered with shock, and he looked at the seven-foot Wujin flute in disbelief across the air, quietly mottled with purple and black demonic light under the starry sky.
It turned out to be him! How is this possible -
The girl was so frightened that her whole body trembled, her hair stood on end, and she stumbled backwards, accidentally tripped over a bundle of hemp rope on the ground.
The unusual muffled noise made the people at the bow of the ship aware of it, and they gathered around the place where the incident occurred.
Gu Yunxi sat on the ground in horror, his face was pale and pale, and his delicate body was as thin as paper and he was already unable to get up.
Tears overflowed her eyes little by little, she stared at the handsome man walking at the front of the crowd in amazement, staring at his facial features, her neck was like being strangled by an invisible big hand, and the sound of vomiting was completely stuck in her throat, dumb and deformed:
"You, how will you ......"
"How can you have a face exactly like him, that's what you're asking?"
Five steps away, the man stopped calmly, his long eyelashes drooped slightly, and the bottom of his deep eyes clearly reflected the girl's pale and frightened face:
"It's been a long time since the battle in Yangfangkou in the capital, didn't he ever tell you that he still has a twin brother?"
