Chapter 460: When I Wake Up
Last year, Yang Yu met Zhao Xuan'er, a seventeen-year-old pipa singer in a music workshop in Qizhou, who was sold to the music shop and became a pipa girl after her parents died at the age of ten.
Most of the pipa girls sell their art and body, Zhao Xuan'er's first customer is Yang Yu, this is not a coincidence, but a rule, the first time the pipa girl sells her body is very expensive, if the guest likes it, you can spend a lot of money to buy her.
This is also the case with Zhang Lei's concubine, who gave it to Zhang Lei for the first time and coaxed Zhang Lei to be happy, so Zhang Lei took out two thousand taels of silver to redeem her.
Yang Yu is also a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, he saw that Zhao Xuan'er had a beautiful face and a gentle personality, which was completely opposite to the ruthless Wang Jianying's personality, Yang Yu was moved, so he spent a sum of money to redeem Zhao Xuan'er.
Yang Yu didn't have the idea of marrying Zhao Xuan'er at first, but only planned to let her serve her for a few years before letting her marry someone who was good.
The turning point happened two months ago, Zhao Xuan'er was pregnant, and the fetus in her womb gave Yang Yu the idea of quitting the Hidden Sword Pavilion, in order to prevent Wang Jianying from finding out about it, he asked Sun Xiaozhen to secretly buy a house in Chunxing Lane and let Zhao Xuan'er move over.
But this house was still found by Wang Jianying, but the head of the household was Sun Xiaozhen, and Wang Jianying thought that this was the house bought by Sun Xiaozhen.
It was this difference in thought that allowed Sun Xiaozhen and Zhao Xuan'er to escape.
When Wang Jianying's men chased to Chunxing Lane, Sun Xiaozhen had already taken Zhao Xuan'er to the dock, Sun Xiaozhen was still dressed as a bartender, and there were only a few taels of silver on her body, but Zhao Xuan'er was carrying a bamboo box, which she packed up according to Yang Yu's instructions, and there were a few washed dresses and dozens of taels of gold, which could leave at any time.
Sun Xiaozhen ran over, and said with a worried face: "The boat has been found, but I only have a few taels of silver, not enough to rent a boat, I have to go back, Xiao Shiniang is waiting for me here." ”
Zhao Xuan'er whispered: "I have fifty taels of gold in my box, is it enough?" ”
Sun Xiaozhen was overjoyed, "Ten taels of gold is enough, let's hurry up and get on the boat." ”
He took Zhao Xuan'er on a thousand-stone passenger boat, and as soon as he sat down, he saw more than a dozen black-clothed knights galloping on horseback in the distance, Sun Xiaozhen was startled, and hurriedly lowered the curtain and said loudly: "Boat man, hurry up!" We were in a hurry. ”
"Great! Departure. ”
The boatman stretched to the shore, the boat swayed and left the dock, after leaving the dock for dozens of feet, I saw the man in black go to the dock and go on the boat to search, Sun Xiaozhen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, they were just a little bit, what a fluke!
Zhao Xuan'er took out a short sword from the box and handed it to Sun Xiaozhen, "I have a sword here, Xiaozhen bring it!" ”
Sun Xiaozhen was overjoyed, with this sword, he was suddenly full of courage and could protect his sister to go to Ganzhou.
.........
The assassination of Li Zhengji was an important mission for Yang Yu in Ziqing, and he had been preparing for many years, although Li Zhengji was well guarded, it was not difficult for Yang Yu to assassinate him.
The key is how to retreat with his whole body and get out of the control of the Hidden Sword Pavilion.
In the afternoon of the next day, a guard came to Yang's silk shop, found Yang Yu, and handed him a letter.
"Do you want to go now?" Yang Yu asked.
The guard nodded, "Childe is waiting for you!" ”
"Alright! I'll go now. ”
He instructed the two men to say a few words, left the store, rode to the north of the city, and after a while, came to Jiyuntian Restaurant, which is the largest restaurant in Qizhou, and the investor behind it is Li Zhengji's eldest son Li Jing.
Li Zhengji has two sons, Li Jing and Li Na, Li Jing is relatively mediocre, but Li Na is brave and good at fighting, and Li Zhengji is deeply loved, and he has always regarded his second son Li Na as his heir.
As for the eldest son Li Jing, Li Zhengji never took him to heart.
Yang Yu saw Li Jing on the third floor of Jiyuntian Restaurant, he stepped forward and knelt down on one knee and hugged his fists and said, "The villain sees the eldest prince!" ”
Li Jing is about forty years old, with a fat round face and a pair of slender little eyes that flicker with a cunning light, he is called the Three Beautiful Sons by the people of Qizhou, and for so many years, he has been wasting his life in food, wine and beauty.
Because he was addicted to wine, his father Li Zhengji was disgusted with him and handed over the inheritance to his second son, Li Na.
Having said that, Li Jing still has many supporters, and many people hate Li Na's cruelty and viciousness, so they turn to support the relatively lenient Li Jing, especially the state and county officials, who generally support Li Jing.
Li Jing waved his hand and smiled: "Yang Zhuangshi doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat!" ”
Li Jing didn't know Yang Yu's true identity, he had known Yang Yu for almost five years, and had always regarded him as a lone assassin, even the silk shop where Yang Yu concealed his identity was also opened by Li Jing for him, and Yang Yu had assassinated many thorns in his side for him in the past five years, and won Li Jing's trust.
Yang Yu knows very well that Li Jing is not the legendary Sanmei Gongzi in the outside world, he is just as ambitious, and he uses wine to hide his ambitions, and he actually secretly attracts many generals.
It was also Yang Yu's intelligence that Li Shi, the Son of Heaven, knew that Li Jing was a chess piece that could be used.
Just yesterday, the envoy from the imperial court met with Li Jing and handed him the handwritten edict of the Son of Heaven, asking him to seize this opportunity to support the army and stand on his own, and the imperial court will recognize him as the envoy of the Ziqing Festival and crown him as the king of Beihai County.
Li Jing thought about it repeatedly all night, and in the face of the huge temptation of power, he finally made up his mind to attack his father.
"You all go down!"
Li Jing withdrew all his subordinates, and only he and Yang Yu were left in the room.
"Brother Yang, I told you back then that one day I would ask you to do a big thing, do you remember?"
"The villain remembers!"
Li Jing lowered his voice and said: "Tomorrow at noon, the old prince is going to inspect the Beidaying, I will create an opportunity for you, and on the way, you will kill him for me!" ”
Yang Yu shuddered in his heart, it was his own father, who said it like slaughtering a sheep, in order to fight for power, he really wanted to kill his father and kill his brother?
However, Yang Yu is not surprised, five years of contact has made him already know Li Jing very well, on the surface he looks like a good man, but in fact he is ruthless, his brother Li Na is cruel, he is actually even more vicious.
"The villain must not disappoint the eldest son."
Li Jing smiled and said: "After the matter is completed, I will reward you with 1,000 taels of gold, and then you will fly away and spend the rest of your life comfortably." ”
"Thank you for your love!"
"Go ahead! If you come here at dawn tomorrow, I will arrange it for you, and when it is done, you will still come here to receive your reward. ”
"The villain understands!"
Yang Yu said goodbye and left, the smile on Li Jing's face disappeared, and two black-clothed people came out of the side room and bowed.
Li Jing narrowed his small eyes and said coldly: "Tomorrow he killed him when he came here to receive the reward, I want to see his head!" ”
"Obey!"
..........
Yang Yu returned to the silk shop, and a guy said, "Madam is here!" ”
This lady is naturally Wang Jianying, Yang Yu was still trying to find her, yesterday her men went one step late, Sun Xiaozhen escaped with Ah Xuan, Yang Yu wanted to know, she tossed all night, did she find anyone.
Yang Yu walked into the back house, only to see Wang Jianying standing in the courtyard with his hands in his hands, his face full of anger, Yang Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that she did not find Xiao Zhen and Ah Xuan.
"When are you going to carry out the mission?" Wang Jianying asked coldly.
Yang Yu stepped forward and sneered: "I think it's very interesting, on the one hand, they are chasing and killing my family, and on the other hand, they want me to carry out a mission, what is the Hidden Sword Pavilion?" ”
"Don't forget your identity, you are the master of Ziqing Hall, and it is your duty to carry out the task, but you have sworn it."
"I swear because when my aunt was here, she treated me as her own child and did everything possible to protect my safety, and now that Li Man is in power, she treats everyone like pigs and cows, and threatens me with the safety of her family."
Yang Yu took a deep breath and said: "And you, ten years ago you were still a very kind little lady, now you are no different from Li Man, ruthless, nominally we are husband and wife, but in fact you have never regarded yourself as a wife, nor have you ever regarded me as a husband, don't talk to me about sex, it has nothing to do with sex, at least your husband's food and clothing, headache and brain fever, have you ever cared?" I haven't seen your person all year round, and you show up when you have a task, this is a husband and wife? ”
Wang Jianying was unmoved, and still said coldly: "Since you have become a killer, don't think about living an ordinary life, this is your own choice, don't put the responsibility on my head." ”
Yang Yu nodded, "You're right!" It's my choice, okay! Don't talk nonsense with you, I'll finish what needs to be done, and we won't owe each other anything in the future. ”
Yang Yu suddenly figured it out, it was pointless to complain to her, after fulfilling his duties, the Hidden Sword Pavilion would have nothing to do with him in the future, as for this woman, leave it to her
"Li Jing came to me today and asked me to assassinate Li Zhengji for him, is it a coincidence?"
Wang Jianying shook his head, "This is not a coincidence, it should be that the imperial court sent someone to contact him, how does he want you to assassinate Li Zhengji?" ”
"Tomorrow at noon, Li Zhengji is going to Beidaying, and he will arrange for me to assassinate me halfway."
Wang Jianying pondered for a moment and said: "The trouble is Li Zhengji's three stand-ins, we can't tell the truth from the false, if you kill the wrong person, the matter will be exposed." ”
Yang Yu said lightly: "We can't tell the difference, but Li Jing knows very well that he has been planning this plan for many years, and Li Zhengji has long been planted with his henchmen next to him, he can assassinate Li Zhengji even without me, but he doesn't want to bear the reputation of killing his father, I suspect that he actually knows my identity, but he has been pretending to be stupid, and finally put the responsibility on Tian Yue or Li Xilie." ”
"This doesn't matter, as long as he can kill Li Zhengji, we can cooperate with him to shirk responsibility."
Wang Jianying barely squeezed out a smile on his face, "Then I wish you success tomorrow!" ”
Yang Yu also hoped that she could remind herself to beware of being killed by Li Jing, but she didn't mention it at all, which shows the ruthlessness of her heart, and Yang Yu's assassin dream was completely awakened.
