Chapter 75: Birthday (Part II)
At that time, the night shrouded the Prime Minister's Mansion, the moonlight was hazy, the shadows of the trees were swaying, and the wind gently blew the stars.
Out of the reception courtyard Jingxi under the guidance of the Xiangfu maid, crossed the bluestone road, and arrived at a room, the Xiangfu was brightly lit, and the soft light was intertwined with the hazy night, which was extremely peaceful.
"County Lord, there is Gongfang ahead." The maid in the yellow cedar spoke softly.
"Well, you go back, I'll just go back by myself." Jing Xi waved away the maid and walked to the room.
"Yes, County Lord." As he spoke, the maid bowed and saluted, then turned around and left here, perhaps returning to the reception house to be on duty.
……
After solving the problem, Jing Xi saw the wonderful moonlight, and he was interested for a while, so he walked leisurely in this prime minister's mansion.
Just as Jing Xi passed by the rockery with heavy rocks, he suddenly heard someone hiding in a nearby corner and plotting.
Jing Xi restrained his breath, used the hidden corner of the rockery to hide his figure, and listened carefully to the secret conversation of those people.
"Chief, when are we going to do it?" Jing Xi looked at the masked black-clothed people vaguely through the gap in the rockery, only to see one of them bowing down in front of the other black-clothed man and asking respectfully.
"Wait another quarter of an hour, and when the Dark Three successfully infiltrate the courtyard, they will do it." The leader of the black-clad voice whispered.
"Remember, that person only has one subordinate today, and he will directly kill him, only succeed, not fail!" The man continued.
"Yes." Hearing this, Jing Xi suddenly flashed a person in his mind, isn't Xiao Yichen just taking Xiao Feng with him today? Could it be that their target is Brother Chen? Thinking of this, Jing Xi turned around and carefully avoided those people and others, and came to the octagonal pavilion in the courtyard.
Call! Sure enough, someone in this courtyard sneaked in, and more than a dozen breaths were carefully hidden. Jing Xi just walked all the way here, and he noticed the breath of the people lurking around, their ability to collect breath is good, if they change others, they may not be able to detect it, thinking like this, Jing Xi is a little worried, and I don't know how many people they have sneaked into the Prime Minister's Mansion. It seems that it is a dead soldier specially raised by someone, and it must be a big deal to be able to dispatch so many dead soldiers to assassinate at once.
Jing Xi, who was worried about how to pass on this discovery, suddenly saw a figure walking towards her, only to see a person dressed in white, coming by the moonlight, through this hazy night, towards the Octagonal Pavilion, the person was graceful, with a warm smile on his handsome face, and when he saw Jing Xi, the person approached.
It turned out to be Su Ruizhou, and he was worried, so the master of the Prime Minister's Mansion sent it to him.
In a blink of an eye, Jing Xi greeted the visitor directly: "Su Ruizhou? Why did you come out too?" Asking, Jing Xi approached him.
He's so tall that he's only in the chest, and he really has a toothache.
"Lord Zhaoning, is this admiring the moon?" When the people came to see Jing Xi talking to him, they were not polite, and after bowing, they came to the pavilion, and their eyes flashed with surprise for her approach, but they were curious. Yes, let the county lord of Zhaoning lean to his side, it was the first time that Su Ruizhou was so close to a woman, his body was stiff, but deep down he did not reject it
This kind of behavior.
This made him curious, on weekdays, for those boudoir women, Su Ruizhou has always been respectful and insensitive, and he has never even talked, so how can he ever get close?
When Su Ruizhou lowered his head and was about to take a step back to distance themselves from each other, the little girl in front of him grabbed his sleeve and pulled him hard, as if she had something to say.
Su Ruizhou was stunned in his heart, but he did not reject it, and directly ignored his intimate behavior with the county lord in his heart, and lowered his head according to her wishes.
There are no others in this courtyard, Jing Xi naturally didn't think about any prevention of men and women, the top priority is to inform Fang Cai of the discovery as soon as possible, not to mention that her father and younger brothers are still in the reception courtyard, she doesn't want her family to be injured by mistake, so it is better to solve this matter.
Yes, Jing Xi approached Su Ruizhou, pulled him down, seeing him so cooperative, Jing Xi leaned into his ear and whispered: "Listen, there are dead men who have infiltrated the Prime Minister's Mansion, and now there are no less than two hands around, just now I happened to bump into them plotting to assassinate the prince, now, you go, don't attract attention, strengthen the defense on the guest seat." ”
Saying that, Jing Xi was afraid that he wouldn't believe it, after all, he was a pampered person in the boudoir, Jing Xi said vaguely: "There are two dead soldiers hidden in the tree in front of them, but their breathing skills are too good, you can investigate carefully, you will know that what I said is true." ”
As soon as Jing Xi's words fell, Su Ruizhou was stunned, as if he believed her words, his face became serious, and he carefully perceived the leafy tree on one side, and there were really two hidden breaths, if it wasn't for what the county lord said, I was afraid that I wouldn't have noticed it.
Seeing this, Su Ruizhou's mind blinked in a moment, and he instantly understood that this matter was afraid that it was a conspiracy, and it was better to solve it quickly.
"Hurry back and protect the people on the table, I'm afraid there are dead people sneaking in." After Jing Xi finished speaking, he let go of the sleeve he was pulling.
Things are in a hurry, where do you pay so much attention, and now that the information has been told to Su Ruizhou, Jing Xi took a step back and distanced himself.
Seeing this, Su Ruizhou was not at ease, the Prime Minister's defense work today was too poor, if it weren't for the county lord to say, I am afraid that he would not know that there was such a big danger hidden, and it involved the prince, so he had to go back quickly, once this matter was not handled well, the Prime Minister was only afraid of causing a commotion.
Thinking about it like this, Su Ruizhou said: "In this case, why don't the county lords go back to the house together?" It would be much safer to at least stay by the prince's side when he went back, completely ignoring that if the county lord was really a weak woman, how could he find out about the dead man he didn't even notice before him?
"Me?" Jing Xi was about to say that he would not go back, Jing Xi was a little hesitant, he stayed because he wanted to solve the people in this courtyard first, so after thinking about it, Jing Xi still said: "It's okay, since I can find the dead soldiers, you should know that I have the power to protect myself, but there are many guests in the courtyard, in case of riots, I am afraid of unnecessary accidents, you better go back first." ”
Jing Xi shook his head, there is no time to delay at the moment, it is better to solve the dead here first and then go to investigate carefully.
Su Ruizhou saw Jing Xi say this, but what he thought in his heart was that if there was chaos at the banquet, he would get up
It's much safer to stay here than at a feast.
Thinking like this, Su Ruizhou hurriedly said goodbye to Jingxi and hurried back to the courtyard.
As soon as he arrived at the reception house, Su Ruizhou summoned the guards to protect the place, and at the same time quickly came to his father's side, leaned over and whispered a few words beside him.
Today's Prime Minister Su Cheng, wearing a brown robe, wearing a jade crown, with tough and distinct facial features, and an unconcealed momentum, listened to Zhou'er's words, his pupils flashed quickly, and he was very good at concealing his skills, and soon he covered up the strange appearance just now, and it was better to keep it secret for now, so as not to cause panic, and then vaguely called the housekeeper to whisper.
Then he smiled and looked at the guests as if nothing had happened.
And people with a heart put this strangeness into their eyes, King Rong glanced at Prime Minister Su Cheng, and a trace of contemplation crossed his heart, he has been an official in the same dynasty as Su Lie for many years, and only then did Su Lie's eyes King Rong see clearly, thinking that something bad had happened, but it was inconvenient to say it clearly.
Thinking of this, King Rong Gu Liangchuan signaled Gu Yang, whispered two rounds, and said: "Gu Yang, something must have happened, this king is in trouble, if something happens later, be sure to stay next to Ah Heng and Ah Yan and protect them thoroughly." ”
King Rong is worthy of being a strategizing army killer, just after Su Xiang's behavior, he noticed that something was wrong, and he was faintly worried in his heart, and sure enough, it didn't take long for his worries to come true.
And the crown prince Xiao Yichen, who did not sit on the throne, also noticed the scene of Su Xiangfang at the same time, and saw what Uncle Wang and Gu Yang next to him ordered, he had always been keen, and he also noticed that something was wrong, his eyes looked at the door, and he still did not find the little girl's figure, the little girl had not come back yet, and he was a little worried. Suddenly, he noticed a glimmer of gaze on him, vague and mixed with a hint of danger.
At this time, Jing Xi in the octagonal pavilion outside the courtyard, seeing that after Su Ruizhou left, he was also walking in the courtyard, silently approaching the big tree, and really saw that the breath of the people on the tree was stunned for a moment, saying that it was too late and that it was fast, Jing Xi quickly shot out and waved out two flying knives, and the two dead soldiers who were hiding underestimated the enemy for a while, and noticed the sound of breaking the air in the air, but unfortunately, the speed of Jing Xi's flying knives was as fast as lightning.
Belch! Belch!
Two voices of disbelief sounded, and suddenly, the two people on the tree were quickly penetrated through their necks by Jing Xi's flying knife, and blood rushed out, both of them were slow to react and cover their necks, their eyes widened, and their vitality was rapidly lost, and the two of them couldn't believe that they had died on a seemingly powerless county lord.
Boom!
The two corpses fell from the tree, Jing Xi retreated after a hit, and seeing the falling corpses, the two of them were hidden in black clothes, only the blood stains that kept flowing from their necks showed something.
The rest of the hidden men in black didn't expect that the two brothers would kill the county lord with only one face, they thought that the county lord just inadvertently passed under the tree, but they didn't expect that the county lord already knew about the dark five and dark six hidden in the tree.
Immediately, he watched the two of them turn into corpses, and they didn't blink to death.
The dead who have experienced life and death have long been numb, but
Seeing the two brothers who got along day and night die like this, their breathing was unsteady in an instant, and before they could do anything, they saw the county lord approaching them with light skills.
Everyone knew that it had already been exposed, and immediately, the leader of the man in black said, "Up! Then, Jing Xi saw a dozen or so black-clothed mermaids who were hiding just now rushing out and flying towards her.
In an instant, everyone attacked Jingxi in a situation of encirclement, and under the hazy night, the sword light and sword shadow were about to explode.
Seeing this, Jing Xi was not in a hurry, avoiding the long sword that swung at her, Jing Xi carried the ancient martial arts, his body was as light as a swallow, and he suddenly came out of the encirclement of the dead soldiers in black, fighting with them with his bare hands, if he changed the others, he would definitely not believe what he saw in front of him.
I saw Jing Xi flash quickly, and his body weirdly circled behind a man in black and flew out.
