Chapter 420: The Way Home (12)
Li Xun found his aunt Li Yi and said what he thought.
"This jade pendant, you bring it to the shepherd."
Li Yi took out a jade pendant from his arms, which was engraved with the word Jing.
Li Xun was puzzled: "Auntie, is this necessary?" ”
Li Xun understood what Li Yi meant, and was afraid that the shepherd would not go out of the mountain.
Li Yi said lightly: "Don't be smart, after the shepherd was expelled from the palace, it wasn't that no one wanted him to return, but he also did some things, not that the shepherd couldn't come back, but that he didn't want to." ”
Li Xun was silent, took the jade pendant, and went to the imperial tomb.
Sure enough, as Li Yi said, Li Xun persuaded him several times, but Mu Gong just refused, until he took out the jade pendant, Mu Gong was silent, took the jade pendant, and was silent for a long time.
“我老矣。 ”
Mu Gong sighed and said, "You go back and tell Concubine Li that I will repay you for your kindness back then." ”
Li Xun didn't say much, bowed deeply, and left.
In the evening, Zhao Zhi set up a banquet to entertain everyone, and after the banquet was dismissed, Li Xun asked to see him, told him about the visit to the shepherd, and pleaded for him.
Zhao Zhi was silent until Li Yi said beside him: "The old shepherd." ”
Zhao Zhi's expression changed at this time, and he sighed: "We are all old. ”
On the same day, Li Xun went to the imperial mausoleum again and brought the Mu Gong back.
"Li Xun, what have you been doing these days, I haven't seen your figure."
Li Xun had just brought the shepherd back, and in the main hall, the master and servant had been separated for many days, and they were reminiscing.
Li Xun looked at Zhang Jin and said with a smile: "Aren't you guarding outside, why did you come here." ”
Sun Wuyang, the chief general of Yulin Wei, was responsible for Zhao Zhi's travel safety, and Zhang Jin, as the general of Yulin Weizuo, naturally came along.
Zhang Jin stepped forward, put his arm around Li Xun's shoulders, and said with a smile: "My father-in-law asked me to come here, to be closer to the emperor, maybe if there is something to order, I can also get close." ”
Li Xun laughed, Zhang Jin is really interesting, they all say that this person is sleek, but he is at least quite sincere to himself.
Li Xun also hugged Zhang Jin and said in a low voice: "The emperor is catching up with the past, I'm afraid it won't be over for a while, you better go back and rest early." ”
Zhang Jin's expression moved: "Brother Dog, wasn't the shepherd sent to the imperial mausoleum?" How did he come back suddenly. ”
Li Xun smiled: "Naturally, I picked it up." ”
Zhang Jin looked at Li Xun and said in a low voice: "The shepherd is back, and your kid is much more relaxed." ”
Zhang Jin Shicheng, Li Xun didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "You don't know my situation, there is no one around the emperor to speak, so I'm in trouble." ”
"Okay, you stay here, I'll go back and rest."
Unexpectedly, Li Xun was so sincere, Zhang Jin raised his head and laughed, patted Li Xun on the shoulder, and then walked away.
stayed until midnight, the shepherd did not come out, but his aunt Li Yi came out first.
"Go back and rest."
Li Xun smiled and said, "The two of them have something to say. ”
Li Yi smiled, the two chatted a few words, and then left.
Walking on the road, I met Gu Benchao.
Li Xun was surprised: "What are you coming from?" ”
Gu Benchao said with a smile: "Mother has been unwell recently, and I didn't plan to come, but today I am in better spirits, so I came to relax." ”
Several figures flashed from the side, Li Xun's eyes flashed, he smiled, and hugged Gu Benchao: "Let's go, it's okay now, you and my brother find a place to have two drinks." ”
Gu Benchao laughed: "I'm just here to ask you for a drink." ”
Li Xun and Gu Benchao hugged their shoulders and walked forward with a smile.
A cold light pierced the night.
"Be careful."
Li Xun didn't react, but Gu Benchao reacted immediately and pushed Li Xun away.
But it was still a little late.
Yes!
Li Xun screamed, and a deep wound was cut on his shoulder.
"Bold thief, the Son of Heaven dares to commit murder in the near future?"
Gu Benchao was frightened, roared angrily, fortunately brought a weapon, pulled out a sharp sword, and greeted him.
The two assassins were entangled with Gu Benchao.
Li Xun was left alone, and was about to leave, when another cold light flickered, an arrow feather pierced the night, and Li Xun, who was running, burst out with blood, screamed, was hit in the chest, and collapsed to the ground.
"You are looking for death."
Seeing Li Xun fall to the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, Gu Benchao's eyes were torn, he roared angrily, and the attack became more violent.
