Jiang Chengyi waited on the ox cart for a long time, almost falling asleep, before waiting for the waiter to lure Mu Yun out of the queen's Changqiu Palace.

As soon as she entered the carriage, she saw Jiang Chengyi lying on the low couch in the middle of the car with his head drooping, wrapped in a thick blanket, frowning deeply.

Seeing that the curtain of the car was lifted, he moved, raised his head and glanced at Mu Yun who had entered, and said weakly: "Ayi... You're here. ”

Mu Yun saw him so sick and thin, so he said angrily: "Look at you... Although today is New Year's Day, His Majesty has already issued an order to allow you to recuperate at home, and you don't need to enter the palace to participate in the Zhengdan ceremony, but you have to be strong! ”

Jiang Chengyi covered his ears and said helplessly: "Ayi... You've said this many times, and now I've come out of the palace to attend the celebration... Don't say any more. ”

Mu Yun felt angry, but looking at his pitiful appearance, he couldn't bear it anymore.

After she sat down, Xue Qing drove the ox cart to Jiangfu.

Jiang Chengyi lay motionless on the couch in the car.

Mu Yun carefully lifted his robe and examined his injuries. As soon as she saw the bloody wounds on his back, she couldn't help but wet her eyes, choked up and said, "Jiang Mengzhi... Why are you doing that? Obviously, you can avoid this board. But I had to go up and join in the fun. ”

Jiang Chengyi pillowed on her lap and smiled weakly: "At that time, the situation was not something I could shirk. ”

Mu Yun was silent, and took the gold sore medicine that Xue Qing had prepared in the car to wipe his wound for him.

The carriage suddenly quieted down, Jiang Chengyi was a little unaccustomed, and wanted to say a few more words to Mu Yun, but seeing that she didn't say a word, he couldn't help but look up at her. At this look, he found that Mu Yun was staring at his wound with tears in his eyes.

Jiang Chengyi panicked, his two white and dry lips moved, but he didn't know how to say comfort, and only said after a while: "Ayi, I'm worried about you." I promise that I will never put myself in danger in the future. ”

Mu Yun endured the sadness that welled up in his heart, nodded with a whimper, and responded with a trembling voice, "Hmm." Jiang Mengzhi, you'd better talk and count. If I see you hurt again, I won't care about you. ”

She called him by his full name and said hatefully.

Jiang Chengyi dragged his body, moved forward again, leaned on her body completely, and said greedily: "Okay, I promise you." ”

He closed his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and rested contentedly.

Mu Yun was reluctant to disturb him, but the matter was too urgent, she had to say, so she whispered in his ear: "There is something I need to tell you." ”

Jiang Chengyi opened one eye and looked at her, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "What's the matter?" ”

Mu Yun said: "In the past few days, didn't you ask Li Ying to bring a message to Fourth Uncle Fang and Yan Ji, telling them to keep an eye on the movements of the Deng Mansion?" Yesterday on Chinese New Year's Eve, in the middle of the day, he came to the mansion to look for you, but you were seriously injured, and I did not allow him to see you. ”

Jiang Chengyi hummed in a low voice and didn't react too much.

Mu Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and then raised his heart again, and said carefully: "Li Ying brought news yesterday... said that in the past few days, although the Dongfu Division has made a lot of trouble because of Wang He's surrender, Deng Guozhong has not given up investigating the truth because of the situation, and it is one thing for him to push Wang He out to take the blame, but he has always felt that he is unwilling to bear the responsibility for the crime like this. He had already noticed Qin Ye's frequent entry into Deng Yuan's mansion last month..."

Jiang Chengyi finally moved, his eyes narrowed into a line, and asked, "After that?" ”

Mu Yun continued: "Although Qin Ye said goodbye to His Majesty with the reason of returning to his hometown to treat the clansmen, he left the palace. But Deng Guozhong didn't believe it, the day before yesterday, when you entered the palace for training, Deng Guozhong had already sent someone to check the ship that Qin Ye was on. According to the report from Yan Ji's spies who were planted in the Taiwei Mansion, Deng Guozhong had sent his henchman Zhou Mu to hurry to the meeting to inquire about Qin Ye's whereabouts. ”

Jiang Chengyi froze and said lightly: "Say so... What hasn't he found out yet? ”

Mu Yun nodded and replied: "Indeed, the Thousand Machines Division and Yan Ji's Fengyue Mansion cooperated with each other, plus the caravan arranged by Fourth Uncle Fang to cover Shang Wuxing's brothers to escort Qin Ye away, and they did it quietly along the way. Deng Guozhong wants to check, but I'm afraid there is nowhere to check. ”

Jiang Chengyi raised his eyebrows, and said with a hanging heart: "That's it, let's sit in the capital with peace of mind, these things will be handled by Fourth Uncle Fang and Yan Ji." ”

Mu Yun questioned and worried: "But... Deng Guozhong's henchman Zhou Mu is not a good stubble. This person has always been ruthless, and he was also born as a guard of the Eastern Mansion Division in the past. I'm just afraid... He'll find out what's going on. ”

Jiang Chengyi turned slightly sideways, looked up, looked at her, read the deep worry in her eyes, and felt sorry in his heart: "Ayi..."

He called.

Mu Yun was thinking about it, and subconsciously responded, but his mind was not here.

Jiang Chengyi took her hand and said guiltily: "So far... None of the promises I have made to you have been fulfilled, but you have suffered so much with me, that you may be anxious and anxious about my affairs. ”

Mu Yun was stunned, lowered his head to look at him, and said gently: "I don't blame you." Since you and I are husband and wife, we should share weal and woe. Your business is also the business of the world. My mother used to be the co-lord of heaven and earth, and since I am the daughter of the former co-lord of heaven and earth, this world is also my business. In this way, I am worried about the affairs of the world, and you don't need to feel ashamed of me. I believe that we will have a lot of good times in the future, and what you promised me will always be fulfilled. ”

She said these words slowly, and her gentle voice was sweet to Jiang Chengyi's heart.

He hooked his lips, hugged her waist tightly, buried his face in her lower abdomen, and said softly, "Thank you, Ayi." ”

The clear and beautiful voice is like a spring, and the restless mood is inexplicably soothed.

Mu Yun hugged him, and the originally sad face was full of smiles.

Just for a moment, she remembered Deng Guozhong's investigation of Qin Ye again, so she asked again: "Mengzhi, are we really just letting Lin Mu go to the Huiji to investigate Qin Ye's whereabouts and ignore it?" ”

Jiang Chengyi was full of confidence and didn't care: "You don't need to pay too much attention to this matter." In a few days, when Song Zong's case is unfolded, I'm afraid that our Lord Taiwei will not have the time to investigate Qin Ye's whereabouts again. ”

Mu Yun was stunned and said, "What does this mean?" ”

Jiang Chengyi smiled mysteriously and said, "If it is... Ning Nanwei, who is far away in Linhe, is willing to let the Deng family spend this New Year's festival well... At this moment, I will not lie so comfortably in your arms. ”

Mu Yunning was puzzled, it could be seen that he was confident, as if he was holding the victory, and the uneasiness in his heart was also settled.

Since he said so, he thought he had made all the preparations.

"Now, we only need to do one thing." Jiang Chengyi slowly put down the smile on the corner of his mouth and became serious.

Mu Yun asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Jiang Chengyi said: "In the Laba explosion case, the person who finally set fire to the private prison in Deng Yuan's mansion was not Qin Ye. It is Fu Zhongwen's henchman - Yin Ye, who is known as the son of Hengye in the rivers and lakes. ”

Mu Yun was surprised: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Jiang Chengyi sighed: "Qin Ye... Maybe he also wanted to give himself a chance, so when he laid out the dungeon, he didn't make this game without a way out. He did not let the guards of the private prison of the Deng Mansion drink the tea and soup containing the five color dispersions, and specially sprinkled the powder of sulfur and charcoal into the prison in the early morning when the sun rose and there was light in the private prison. If the guards hadn't drunk the five dispersions, they would have been able to smell the rich sulfur breath in the dungeon, and they would have had time to clean up the powder. ”

Mu Yun listened, turned his eyes and thought for a moment, and immediately understood the key sheath: "That is to say... It was the prince of Hengye who ordered people to buy a large number of five color dispersion and quietly went into the tea of the guards of the Deng Mansion, causing them to temporarily lose their sense of smell, which caused them to fail to detect the abnormality of the private prison in time? ”

Jiang Chengyi responded: "That's not all. When Xue Qing and I went to visit the alley east of Deng's mansion, I heard someone flying on the wall of the alley, holding a bow and crossbow with a flaming feather arrow, and shooting arrows in the direction of Deng's mansion. ”

"Why did Fu Zhongwen kill Hengye Gongzi... Detonate Deng Yuan's private mansion? Is it because of Shi An? Mu Yun said suspiciously.

Jiang Chengyi hummed and said, "Not bad." But... The mastermind behind this who ordered Hengye Gongzi to act may not be Fu Zhongwen, but Fu Bo. ”

Mu Yun was confused: "It's just... Why? As far as I know, Fu Bo and Shi An don't seem to be related? Why did he put Shi to death? ”

Jiang Chengyi supported the logs on both sides of the couch with both hands, and slowly got up, this movement was full of sweat, he bit his lip, endured the sharp pain on his back, and said in a trembling voice: "At the end of the third year of Yongning, Dou Sanlang Dou Xunen... Died at the hands of bandits in the suburbs of Beijing. Have you ever heard of this? ”

Mu Yun muttered and repeated: "At the end of the third year of Yongning? Dou Xunen? Bandits? ”

Her eyes were calm, searching for memories of the incident.

"I remember." She remembered something and affirmed, "This matter was mentioned to me in a letter. Half a year ago, when Anping Hou Dou Xunfen secretly wanted to attack Ning Nan, didn't you still be entrusted by A Luo to let Fourth Uncle Fang quietly lead a caravan to investigate the case in the eastern suburbs? But later, Tangyetai and Qianji visited to no avail, and the matter was put down. This case is full of suspicions, and the murderer has not been arrested so far... It was once rumored in the capital that Dou Xunen had offended someone before he was killed by bandits on the outskirts of Beijing. ”

Jiang Chengyi said: "Those rumors back then were not groundless. Half a year ago, the inquiry between the Thousand Machines Department and Tangyetai was fruitless, and I was busy with the affairs of the East Mansion, so I didn't take this matter to heart. But after I rescued Shi An, I learned that Ning Zheng, the king of Huai, who was only a small king of the vassal kingdom at that time, had teamed up with the Fu family, the Deng family and the Dou family to send a large number of dead soldiers on the outskirts of the capital to pretend to be mountain bandits and thieves, and killed Dou Xunen and his party, who were rushing to Luoyang City to meet Emperor Ming, near the mountain dwellings along the mountains in the suburbs. ”
