Chapter 31: Fall
I saw Hua Qian standing in front of him, heroically lifted his dress, flipped it over, picked out the inner layer of white cloth, and with a loud sound, he tore off a long piece neatly.
Xue Jinian is rarely surprised, he likes layout, everything is people's hearts, and his personality is eccentric, don't look at him always a gentle appearance, people who are familiar with him know that eating people is the most spitting out bones.
In his previous life, the only thing he failed was to stand on the wrong team and choose the wrong person, and the loser was the villain, and he was not surprised at all that they finally pushed him out to take the blame.
But now, he was surprised.
Xue Jinian stared at the white strip of cloth in Hua Qian's hand with a cautious expression: "What are you going to do?" ”
"Bandage." Hua Qianyang raised the underwear fragment in his hand and replied innocently. There's no way she's going to strangle him with this, is she?
"Use this?" Thinking of the original body of this strip of cloth, Xue Jinian frowned.
Hua Qian was full of apologies and said, "I'm sorry for the Duke, I can't find medicine in this wild place." Use this bag to cover the wound first, and then we will go to the doctor together. I promise, I change my underwear every day, it's clean. ”
Xue Jinian: "......"
After a long time, Hua Qian heard him reply in a muffled voice, "No need! ”
She doesn't understand, isn't it just a wound, what is he arrogant? If it weren't for the fact that this injury was inflicted on her, when she was willing to tear her own clothes? Silver isn't cheap, is it?
The clothes couldn't be torn in vain, and she felt that she should work harder, so she persuaded in a good voice: "Really not packed? It's going to die. ”
"Don't bother!"
That's a bit of a gnashing of teeth.
"The wound is long." Hua Qian still didn't give up, she stretched out two fingers and compared in front of him: "It's so long." ”
Xue Jinian: "......"
"Don't be afraid, my master's medical skills are very good, although I haven't learned much, but the bandaging skills are very good."
She really has the face to say, but the point that Xue Jinian grasped was: "Do you have a master?" ”
"That's right."
"Who is he? Where is he? ”
"An idle old road on the Fog Hidden Mountain. I don't know where it is, I guess I'm traveling. ”
Xue Jinian: "......"
Foggy Hidden Mountain? The name is unknown, but now it seems that it may be time to look it up.
Taking advantage of Xue Jinian's trance, Hua Qian, who was not afraid of death, leaned in front of him again, and persuaded from the heart: "The people who chased and killed us didn't see our bodies, and they could be found at any time." If you don't treat it now, the wound will never heal. When the time comes, maybe I'll just throw you out and run away by myself. ”
Xue Jinian sneered: "Ben Du is not dead yet, the princess said this, aren't you afraid that Ben Du will hold a grudge?" ”
He began to call her princess again.
Hua Qian pursed his lips disdainfully, and gestured at him with a strip of cloth: "Even if you hold a grudge, you have to live." Who can worry about who is dead? ”
Xue Jinian looked at her coldly, she was wrong, as long as it was a hatred that he remembered in his heart, even if he died, he would come to get it back if he turned into a ghost!
Even though he lived a healthy life in this life, Xue Jinian never denied that there was an evil ghost living in his heart, a demon who would eventually tear all the people who failed him in his previous life into slag.
And now, he is moving towards this goal step by step.
Thinking of the true purpose of his trip, he relaxed his knot and said, "In this way, it will trouble the princess." ”
Tsk, people are really afraid of death, especially those who are high.
Hua Qian was disdainful in his heart and walked around behind him. Carefully pulled his collar down, wrapping the strips of cloth in his hand around his back.
For the muscles that immediately stiffened under the hands, Hua Asa said that he understood very well.
Undressed in front of the unfamiliar opposite sex, she also had to stiffen her muscles when she changed her.
So she bandaged him while talking about what had happened after he had fallen unconscious, in order to distract him.
"The two sides are fighting, and no one is beating. Duke, do you say those men in black will come again? ”
Didn't you swear that people would chase after him when you persuaded him just now, and you still wanted to use him as a meat shield?
Regarding Hua Qian's obviously inconsistent words, Xue Jinian didn't care. His body went from stiffness at the beginning to slowly relaxing, and said, "No." ”
Hua Qian was surprised, if he was so blindly confident, he could also say it?
Then she turned her mind again in her heart, the person who said this kind of thing, either too arrogant, or had already arranged it, or, what did he know?
"How does the Governor know that?"
As far as she knows, hasn't hiring a murderer always been about seeing people in life and seeing corpses in death?
Although they are a little embarrassed now, at least they are still alive.
The pursuers just gave up? And is there a work ethic?!
"It's long overdue, it's not going to wait until now."
Hua Qian was right to think about it, now they don't have any guards around them, if there were another group of people in black at this time, they would have died thoroughly.
Those men in black chased and killed them all the way, and even knew about their change of route, so they specially lay under the water and waited for them to come to the door, and they were caught off guard.
It can also be seen from this that there must be a traitor in this team of the East Factory.
After thinking about this, it is not difficult to understand the certainty in Xue Jinian's words.
It's good now, whether it's the pursuer or the betrayer, or their own people, no one knows where they live now, so naturally they can't find them for a while.
That said, they're safer without a guard around.
She sighed, and while continuing the movements of her hands, she joked: "Look, I just said that you know people and faces, and your subordinates may not all be loyal to you." Sure enough, there was a mouse poop hidden. ”
Seeing that Xue Jinian's face was not very good, Hua Qian hurriedly raised his hand and swore: "But don't worry, Dugong, even if everyone in the world betrays you, it will definitely not include me." I swear here, life is your person, death is your ghost, even if it is buried in your ancestral grave, I will never abandon the oath and die without regret! ”
As long as Xue Jinian doesn't die, she and he are destined to be two grasshoppers tied to the same boat, and they can't escape, so Hua Qian always remembers the great cause of patting sycophants, and must make a generational sound.
Xue Jinian: "......"
@@@
Jingyang, Huaiwangfu
"You mean, you saw with your own eyes that Xue Jinnian and Jinyiwei were at odds?"
"Back to the prince, that's true." The person kneeling on the ground raised his head, and it was the Dongchang fan who killed the pair of ancestors and grandchildren in Bafengdu.
Huai Wang Yin Gu sat on the top seat, his face sinking like water.
"Ziwen, what do you think?"
Yin Ziwen, the prince of Huaiwangfu, sat in the lower left position of him, got up when he heard the words, and said, "Father, the son feels that something is wrong. With Xue Jinian's ability, how could he let himself fall into such a dangerous situation. ”
King Huai raised his hand: "Go on." ”
Yin Ziwen glanced at Yin Zishang opposite him with some smugness, and said: "Over the years, Xue Jinian has turned his hands into clouds and rain in Beijing, which can be described as a smash hit. Why did he suddenly leave Shangjing? Although it is important to welcome Princess Changning, it is by no means necessary for him to go to Beijing, so why is it necessary to go out of Beijing in person? Dongchang is full of doglegs, and it is easy to find a few useful people. ”
King Huai snorted, and said, "Zishang, what do you think of this matter?" ”
Yin Zishang, the second son of Huaiwangfu, stepped forward and said, "Back to my father, my son feels that there is nothing wrong with this matter. ”
King Huai stroked his beard for a moment, and his face suddenly became suspicious: "Do you think that the discord between the Zhenfu Division and Dongchang is for us to see?" ”
After all, both the Zhenfu Division and the Dongchang are subordinate to the departments directly under the direct jurisdiction of His Majesty the Emperor, and both of them can be called right-hand men, and they are both indispensable, and the emperor should not let them really have irresolvable contradictions.
"Definitely. Erchen has long understood that although Dongchang and Zhenfu Division are both His Majesty's personal guards, they have different positions, and in recent years, almost everyone knows about the intrigue between the two. ”
"Then why don't you think Your Majesty will deal with it?"
Yin Zishang said in a deep voice: "The way of the emperor, balance is the first place. ”
King Huai nodded, he also understood this, as a superior, no one wanted his subordinates to huddle together to keep warm, so if he was not careful, the master's position would be vacated.
Only by checking each other can power be centralized. Jiuzhou Chinese
Yin Ziwen was a little unconvinced, and sneered: "Then you say, why did Xue Jinian want to go out of Beijing?" Is he well fed? ”
Yin Zishang glanced at him, bowed his head and said: "The imperial concubine is the biggest backer of Dongchang, and Princess Changning is from Empress Wen of the main palace. But now that he is out of Beijing, it can only show one problem. ”
"What's the problem?"
"There must be some kind of rift between him and the golden lord and imperial concubine behind him."
In other words, he had to choose another financier.
The emperor's harem has always been the focus of the world, and what the harem does is the direction of the previous dynasty. As a member of the royal family, everyone knows it by heart.
Today, the queen and the imperial concubine have been at odds for a long time, Xue Jinian did this, as long as the imperial concubine was not blind, she would definitely see the problem.
Yin Ziwen snorted: "Hearing you say this, I think the imperial concubine is really blind and pitiful, and she can't even see such obvious signs of rebellion." ”
Yin Zishang glanced at him: "Since the imperial concubine sits firmly in the harem, she is in the limelight, even Empress Wen has to avoid her edge, and the blind will not live long." ”
Yin Ziwen was a little annoyed: "You say both the right and the back, isn't there a problem between the two of them?" ”
"That's true, but this matter is complicated, Xue Jinian must have a reason to leave Beijing, and this reason makes the imperial concubine unable to stop or even suspicious."
"What reason?"
Yin Zishang lowered his eyelashes and said, "This, I don't know yet." ”
Yin Ziwen snorted again, his expression was full of disdain, he yawned, got up and bowed to King Huai and said, "Father, this is the middle of the night, if there is nothing else, the minister will retire." ”
The good night is short, there is a beauty waiting in his bed, who is willing to lust on a few men, why does a eunuch go to pick up the princess?
It's all about the!
King Huai nodded, and Yin Ziwen withdrew from the main hall.
Yin Zishang was noncommittal, turned around and asked the spy who was still kneeling at his feet: "Is there any other abnormality along the way?" ”
The man hesitated for a moment and replied, "Back to the second son, there is one thing that my subordinates don't know whether to talk about or not." ”
"Speak."
"Yes."
So, he told Hua Qian's obstruction one by one.
"You mean, that day, this princess of Changning robbed the road halfway?" Yin Zishang was a little incredible.
"Exactly. However, later, because his subordinates were ordered to stay at the foot of the mountain, it is not clear what happened in Tiankanji Temple at that time. And on the way back to Beijing, there has been a lot of noise, and his subordinates have never found a suitable opportunity to listen. ”
Yin Zishang frowned: "You mean, there was a girl who followed Princess Changning at that time, and when he arrived at the Sifang Inn, Xue Jinian called that girl a princess?" ”
"Not bad."
Yin Zishang lowered his head and pondered: "Father, what do you think about this matter?" ”
King Huai stroked his beard and smiled coldly: "This eunuch dares to mess with my royal bloodline, and his heart can be punished." ”
"What does Father want?"
"Xue Jinian, this person, is a treacherous and slippery, and sooner or later he is a big trouble for my Huaiwang Mansion. If I can rely on this matter and get rid of this person, it will be a blessing for me in Jingyang. ”
"Father wants to go to the court?"
Wang Ye waved his hand: "The vassal king is not allowed to enter Beijing without an edict, and this king naturally cannot make an exception." ”
"That father wants to provoke the attention of the people in the capital to Xue Jinian in the form of a secret letter and guide them to find out the truth."
"Yes, the more chaotic Kyoto is, the more beneficial it will be to my Jingyang."
Yin Zishang didn't say anything.
Seeing that Yin Zishang seemed to have some concerns, King Huai's deep eyes looked fixed: "What doubts does Zishang have?" ”
Yin Zishang gave his hand: "Erchen thinks that this matter needs to be discussed." ”
"Why?"
"Big Brother Fang Cai is right. Xue Jinian is in charge of the East Factory, and he has good means, and it is impossible not to calculate the difficulties and obstacles on the road back to Beijing. And the princess's daughter's body is the task of his trip, and there must be no mistakes. ”
"What do you mean?"
"Leaving Gyeonggi is full of dangers, if you want to save the princess's life safely, secretly crossing Chencang is the best way."
"You mean, he deliberately used a fake princess to attract the attention of people in the shadows?"
That's exactly what Erchen thinks.
Then he asked the spy, "What is his attitude towards this Princess Changning after that?" ”
The spies remembered that when there was an accident at the Sifang Inn, Xue Jinian's maintenance of Hua Qian everywhere, and when he was killed on the ship, he desperately blocked him.
At that time, he was nearby after he fell into the water, and he could see clearly.
So they all returned truthfully.
Things couldn't be clearer, if Hua Qian was not a princess, how could she be worthy of Xue Jinian, who was the admiral, to protect her life?
Everyone knows that if the princess makes a mistake, Xue Jinian will bear the first responsibility, no matter how much he spares his life, the situation at that time does not allow him to have other ideas.
Yin Zishang nodded: "So my father, my son's ministers think ......"
Before he finished speaking, an announcement came from outside the door.
"See the prince, son."
"What?"
"Someone outside asks to see him, claiming to be Xue Qi, the head of the East Factory, and he is in a hurry to see the prince."
King Huai's father and son glanced at each other, and immediately understood Xue Qi's intention.
"It seems that the disappearance of Xue Jinian in my Jingyang has been reported back to Kyoto."
The kneeling spy was a little unclear: "Xue Qi has always been with his subordinates, before the accident, due to the inconvenience of the boat, Xue Jinian ordered him to take people to meet by land." Subordinates guessed that Xue Jinian's disappearance should not be reported back to Shangjing, right? ”
He said it tactfully. But as long as Xue Qi's mind is normal, it is impossible to do this.
Once Xue Jinian falls, now the people in Dongchang will have bad luck, especially Xue Qi, who is a tiger and may be chopped up.
Xue Qi shouldn't be so brainless.
The two people on the throne are his masters, but they have lived in Jingyang for a long time, and they should not be as familiar with the situation in Kyoto as he is, so he feels that he needs to remind them.
Yin Zishang glanced at him coldly: "It's none of your business here, go down." ”
Receiving Yin Zishang's cold gaze, the spy realized that he had exceeded the rules.
"Yes!" He quickly leaned over and kowtowed, and bowed respectfully.
When the spy couldn't see the figure, Yin Zishang clapped his hands, and a man dressed in black walked out of the shadows.
"Follow him, Ben Gongzi doesn't want to see that face again."
The man in black nodded, and then disappeared from the room.
Regarding Yin Zishang's actions, King Huai didn't say anything, but just reminded him lightly: "This king thinks that he is not wrong." ”
"Ke Erchen thinks that if he doesn't have full confidence, how dare Xue Qi set foot on the door of my Huai Wangfu."
He must have sent the news to the capital, at least their current golden lord and imperial concubine would definitely know.
King Huai wrinkled the old bark's face and hummed, and said, "Then in your opinion, do we see this Xue Qi or not?" ”
"See you."
Saying that, Yin Zishang arched his hand and said, "It's so late, my father should rest early, and his son will meet him." ”
"Go ahead."
