Chapter 140: Counting is Counting

Jun Mowen returned to the palace and hid the holy decree and list in a secret compartment. continued to bow his head and deal with the paperwork until Shi Cheng came back to report that he had sent Li Qiusheng back to Meige and handed him over to Zhang Shaoqing to take care of.

Jun Mo asked before he stood up and moved his muscles and bones, picked up the rice bowl and called out habitually, "Shuang'er, it's time to eat." As soon as the words came out, I remembered that she had left, and I couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and when I looked up, a bright moon hung high, and I remembered the Mid-Autumn Festival just yesterday. I couldn't help but feel bored, and after a few quick bites, I put down the dishes and chopsticks. Lying on the bed tossing and turning, I couldn't help but feel sad when I saw that my side was empty. Said to himself, "Shuang'er, why can't you stay by my side and let me watch you and hold you every day." Can't you be like other women, be selfish, and have to think about me everywhere. ”

Jun Mowen simply got out of bed with his clothes on, picked up a brush on the white canvas, sprinkled it, wiped it a little bit, and it only took an hour to paint Zhong Lichun's lifelike appearance, Jun Mowen looked at it, nodded, hung her on the wall, thought about it, and drew a picture of the scene when the two met for the first time.

Jun Mowen looked at the corners of the person's mouth slightly open, his eyebrows raised, his eyes and teeth, and his angry face, and unconsciously recalled the scene when they first met. He gently stroked the little face of the person in the painting, involuntarily smiled, took off the portrait and held it in his arms, and gradually fell asleep with sweet memories.

As soon as I opened my eyes on the second day, I immediately opened the portrait in my arms and checked it, and found that it was not damaged, so I was relieved and carefully hung the portrait on the wall. Then he commanded his subordinates to come in and serve. I washed up in a hurry and had breakfast. wrote a list and instructed Shi Cheng to go down and find out the details of these people. Whether it is reliable and whether it can be used in an emergency.

Shi Cheng turned around and looked up, and saw two portraits of young ladies hanging lifelike on the wall. I was stunned in my heart, the young lady had just left, and the young master missed the young lady last night, so he didn't sleep, and painted two paintings in one night. How many pictures will I have to draw after this? Shi Cheng sighed secretly.

Jun Mowen sat down to deal with the paperwork again, and after a few days of staying at home, Jun Mowen finally finished processing the mountain of paperwork. He swept the empty table, stretched, and took a look at the moonlight. He spread out a scroll of canvas and drew a picture of a woman practicing swords. In this way, Jun Mowen paints a portrait every night, all of which records the bits and pieces of acquaintance with Zhong Lichun in the past three years. To comfort yourself with the pain of lovesickness. Jun Mowen couldn't imagine that he would use the picture scroll to comfort the pain of lovesickness, and he actually helped a lot in the future.

Jun Mowen stayed in the palace for more than a month, and suddenly received an invitation, which turned out to be the third prince who invited him to go to the suburban courtyard to enjoy chrysanthemums three days later.

Jun Mo asked Shi Cheng after speaking, and smiled coldly, "Is this preparing for a Hongmen banquet?" Can't you wait for that? He turned to Shi Cheng and said, "Tell him to arrive on time in three days." ”

So at the same time, Xiang Tiancheng also received the same invitation. The corners of his mouth hooked, the opportunity has come, since this is the case, why not borrow a knife to kill and put all the blame on the third brother.

Three days later, Jun Mowen got up early in the morning, washed up, and had breakfast. He asked Shi Cheng, "Have you prepared the things you were asked to prepare yesterday?" ”

Shi Cheng nodded and said, "Don't worry, young master, everything is ready, do you want to kill him when the time comes." ”

"You don't have to take his life, just maim him and knock him unconscious, and let him hear you." Jun Mo asked.

"The subordinates understand, and the subordinates personally bring people to do it? It's just that you have to be less careful, young master. Shi Cheng said uneasily.

Jun Mo asked and shook his head, "Don't worry!" If one group of people wants my life, then it will be difficult for me to get out, and two groups of people want my life, and it will be much easier for me. You just have to do your own thing. ”

Shi Cheng nodded helplessly, "My subordinates will definitely do a good job." Please rest assured. ”

Jun Mowen waved his hand to get busy first, he flicked his clothes and got into the carriage slowly. There were ten guards by the carriage, and they swaggered out of the city to the meeting. ”

The carriage drove slowly all the way, out of the capital, and when it reached a secluded place on the outskirts of the city, a group of black-clothed people suddenly jumped out and slashed with a knife.

Jun Mowen's ten personal guards were quickly hacked and killed, and Jun Mowen pretended not to know martial arts, running around, scurrying around, and being embarrassed. In the stalling of time.

Jun Mo asked the time in his heart, why the other group of people didn't show up. Could it be that I guessed wrong, if so, it would be troublesome. Just as Jun Mo was hesitating, another team of masked men in black rushed over and surrounded and killed the earlier group of men in black. The first group of killers saw that things were not going well and desperately resisted.

Jun Mowen was escorted by a few guards and sat leisurely on the carriage, watching the two groups of people fight. Just when the first batch of masked killers was about to be unstoppable, Shi Cheng led a few masked people into the wolf pack like tigers and slashed at the second group of masked people.

The leader of the first batch of killers said to Shi Cheng: "Thank you, brother for saving me, could it be that the prince sent you over to support again?" ”

Shi Cheng turned around and scolded, "Stupid, you can't do such a little thing." After saying that, he ignored him. Gu committed suicide and soon killed the first two groups of people in black. Said to the first batch: "Handle the rest of the things yourself?" After speaking, Shi Cheng whistled, and several people scattered and fled into the mountains without a trace.

The first batch of killers were stunned, "What a quick skill." When he came back to his senses, he chased and killed Jun Mo again.

Shi Cheng pulled off his scarf, changed his clothes outside, and arrived with the palace guards Pegasus. I just saw Jun Mowen being slashed in the arm by him. Covered in scars. couldn't help but smile slightly, the young master's bitter meat plan was good. So he shouted: "Bold fanatic, you actually dare to assassinate His Highness, and take them all for me." After speaking, he rushed to Jun Mowen's side and protected him.

The first batch of killers saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly turned around and ran. I happened to meet the third prince with the palace guards Pegasus arrived, and when he saw this situation, he couldn't help but be shocked, his eyes shrank, how could he still be alive, how could things have become like this? If you don't do anything, you just kill people and kill people. So he waved his hand, "shouted: "Bold gangster, dare to assassinate Brother Wang, come on!" None of them were left, and all of them were killed.

Jun Mo asked a hook at the corner of his mouth, and it was done, so he pretended to be seriously injured and said weakly: "Go back to recuperate for my brother first, and then go to the other courtyard to enjoy chrysanthemums another day." After speaking, he took the guards back to the palace to recuperate from his injuries.

The third prince, Xiang Tianyi, looked at the back in the distance and gritted his teeth with hatred. How did he escape again? Looking at the corpses all over the ground, I just wanted to order someone to deal with it.

I saw the regent galloping with a pair of men and horses, and shouted at him: "Xiang Tianyi lost his conscience and killed his brother, causing the eldest prince Xiang Tianlai and the second prince Xiang Tiancheng to be seriously injured. Come on, take it for me! ”

Xiang Tianyi was shocked, "I was wronged, I didn't kill the second brother." ”

The regent sneered, "Wronged or not, tomorrow the court will distinguish him, tie him up first, and put him in prison." ”

Xiang Tianyi was willing to be restrained again, and while ordering the guards to resist, he wanted to slip away quietly.

The regent would let him escape, he snorted, bent down to take off his bow and arrows, and swished at him with his bow and arrows on his horse, shooting an arrow, and the arrow flew towards Xiang Tianyi's back like a meteor.

Xiang Tianyi screamed and fell off his horse. He was swarmed by the regent's men, tied up strongly, and thrown into a cell.

Because Xiang Tiancheng and his subordinates testified and claimed to have heard the killer's conversation with their own ears, Xiang Tianyi sent two groups of people to hunt down and kill the second prince Xiang Tiancheng and the eldest prince Xiang Tianlai.

Although Xiang Tianyi repeatedly claimed that he had been wronged, he repeatedly claimed that he did not send someone to assassinate Xiang Tiancheng. But the human and physical evidence left behind at the scene made him speechless. For this reason, Chu Emperor Xiang Chengyi was furious, pointed at him and scolded him, and issued an order to cut off his princely title, demote him to the unrighteous marquis, drive him out of the capital, and not enter the capital without a will.

Xiang Tianyi had no choice but to pack up his salute and leave the city for the fiefdom the next day. Jun Mowen waited in the Ten Mile Long Pavilion. Seeing him go out of the city with his entourage Pegasus, he smiled slightly and bowed his hand to Xiang Tianyi: "Third brother is going, the road is far away, you must be cautious, act cautiously, and prevent others from plotting." ”

Xiang Tianyi sneered, "Don't worry about the eldest brother, it is important for the eldest brother to protect his life first, I didn't expect that the eldest brother would hide it deeply, and the younger brother would not be wronged at all." I also hope that Brother Wang will do it himself and ascend to the throne as soon as possible. ”

Jun Mowen picked up the wine glass and poured a glass of wine and handed it to him, "You are in a hurry, the praying mantis catches cicadas, but you don't know that there is no yellow finch behind." It's better to leave the land of right and wrong early, at least you can ensure peace and prosperity for a lifetime. ”

Xiang Tianyi sneered, took the wine glass and drank it all, and said: I wish the eldest brother the king all his wishes come true, ascend to the throne as soon as possible, and the younger brother will leave first. After saying that, he whipped his horse and walked away.

Jun Mowen shook his head, it is you who are too anxious, you will be defeated, if the two of them jointly move down the regent first, then maybe I will let you be, but unfortunately, your desire for power is too heavy, after all, you did not hold back. will be exploited by others, and they can't complain about others. Seeing them go away, after returning to the palace, they closed the door and thanked the guests, staying at home.

Although the regent wanted to attack him, he hid in the palace and did not come out, making the regent glare, but there was nothing he could do. Seeing that Emperor Chu's death was approaching, he became more and more anxious.

Jun Mo asked Shi Cheng to report that his father was about to reach the end of his life. It was decided to sneak into the palace in the middle of the night to visit. In the middle of the night, he changed into night clothes, took Shi Cheng and the two quietly jumped out of the palace, and rushed all the way to the palace.

Qian Yi had already received the tip, waited at the door early, and as soon as he saw him, he immediately saluted, "Slave Qian Yi see His Highness." ”

Jun Mo asked and shook his hand, "No need to be polite, how is my father?" ”

Qian Yi's expression darkened, "The emperor's health is not good, and the situation is not optimistic. Your Highness, please come in with me. After speaking, he led him to the dormitory of the Qinzheng Palace. Let Jun Mowen wait outside the door, go in to report by himself, and then hurriedly come out after a while, and after leading Jun Mowen in, he quietly retreated and waited at the door.

Jun Mo asked looking at the skinny Xiang Chengyi on the dragon couch, and couldn't help but have a sour nose, "Father, the child is not filial, and he can't serve in front of the bed." ”

Xiang Chengyi opened his slightly closed eyes and smiled at him reluctantly, "God, you shouldn't enter the palace, you know that the palace is their eyes and ears, and it's dangerous for you to come in like this." Father is fine, he can last a few days, you can go back quickly! Don't go into the palace without my call. ”
