Chapter 29: The Theater Turmoil
Today, Yu Chi Jincheng was invited by the third prince Yu Chi Fengxuan to come to Fengtui Xiaozhu to listen to the play, and brought Wendi over.
Wen Di lowered his head slightly and walked beside Yu Chi Jincheng. Looking at this water pavilion, the small building is transparent on all sides, by the mountains and rivers, it is really an elegant place, no wonder the children are willing to come here to watch the scenery and play, and chant poems against it.
In front of the stage is the stage, on the tall purple gold building platform, it is written "Fengtui Opera Garden" four gilded characters, and the red pillars are tall and magnificent. I heard the sound of gongs, drums and bamboos in the distance, and it must have been the beginning of the play.
"Old Seventeen!" After a greeting, a tall man walked quickly in front of him, it was Chi Fengxuan, the third prince.
"Third brother." Yu Chi Jincheng greeted lukewarmly, and then took Wendi's hand.
Yu Chi Fengxuan was slightly stunned when he saw this, and then laughed and said: "Old Seventeen, the third brother remembers that you never took a woman with you when you went out before, saying that it was inconvenient for you to be out of town." What's the matter, if you don't let go of this little beauty's hand today, is it a change of sex? ”
Yu Chi Jincheng's brows frowned slightly, and he said, "Third brother, this is the side concubine of the younger brother Xinna." ”
Wen Di stepped forward, and the court captain Chi Fengxuan blessed his body slightly, and said lightly: "The concubine asks the three princes to say goodbye, and the three princes are auspicious." ”
Seeing this, Yu Chi Fengxuan looked at her suspiciously: a pure and pure girl, she looks extremely young, and her voice is neither humble nor arrogant, but it seems very atmospheric, what means did she use to keep herself by Yu Chi Jincheng's side, or is she just a cover that Yu Chi Jincheng brought out to confuse people?
"Third brother, don't you want to watch a play? Isn't it time to go up? Seeing that he had been staring at Wen Di, Wei Chi Jincheng was unhappy and urged impatiently.
When Yu Chi Fengxuan heard this, he hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, seventeenth brother, let's go up." ”
When he came to the private room and sat down, Yu Chi Jincheng saw that there was no one else, so he turned his head to look at Yu Chi Fengxuan.
Yu Chi Fengxuan laughed: "How about it, in order to invite the seventeenth brother to watch the play, the third brother and I spent a lot of money, not only to package the big theater that the wind pushed Xiaozhu, but also invited the famous singer of the Qiufeng Building." It's a pity that the talented and beautiful Gu boss refused to come, otherwise, this scene must be more interesting! ”
Yu Chi Jincheng waved his hand lightly and said: "Third brother, the ancient boss has been very lonely since he was born, and he has never acted in the Autumn Wind Building, and he is willing to agree to the famous singers in the building to come to this Fengtui Theater to perform, which is enough to give the third brother enough face." ”
Yu Chi Fengxuan smiled, looked sideways at Wen Di, and saw her sitting there obediently, so he said: "Old Seventeen, I don't know if you like to watch dramas, I see that she just sits there obediently, if you pull someone to come, I'm afraid that you will have to be coaxed when you go back!" ”
Hearing this, he looked sideways at Yu Chi Fengxuan, and said softly: "Where did the third prince say, the concubines naturally like it, not to mention the person specially invited by the third prince from Qiufeng Tower?" ”
She deliberately accentuated the words "watching a play" and "deliberately", and Yu Chi Fengxuan was secretly frightened when she heard it: This little woman seems to have something to say, but she doesn't seem to have any other intentions, it's really not simple!
As he was talking, the gongs and drums sounded, and a play "Dingjun Mountain" was being staged.
It's just that Yu Chi Jincheng and Yu Chi Fengxuan are two people, and no one really puts their minds on this play.
"I heard that the third brother has a close personal relationship with a tea merchant surnamed Qiao?" Yu Chi Jincheng took a sip of tea, put it on the table casually, and frowned slightly, "If I can take over the tea business that this wind pushes Xiaozhu, maybe I can drink some decent tea, little brother." ”
When Yu Chi Fengxuan heard this, he was slightly stunned, then rolled his eyes and said: "Hey, the seventeenth brother is a tea lover, unlike the third brother and me, I am a rough person, I don't care if this tea is good or not." But if the seventeenth brother likes it, the third brother will ask him to send some another day and give you a try? ”
Yu Chi Jincheng smiled faintly, looked at him with a pair of phoenix eyes, and said lightly: "That's fine." It's just that I don't know that in the tea sent here, there is a bit of real tea and a little bit of poisonous weeds. ”
After hearing this, Wei Chi Fengxuan's eyes widened, and he exclaimed: "Why did the seventeenth brother say this, could it be said that someone would mix this poisonous weed as tea with shoddy quality?" ”
Yu Chi Jincheng stared at him, nodded and said, "Third brother doesn't know?" The younger brother drank the tea leaves in his Boss Qiao's tea house a few days ago, and almost lost his life! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a silver light flashed on the stage, and a spear shot sharply between the two.
Yu Chi Jincheng and Yu Chi Fengxuan's pupils constricted at the same time, and they all stepped back, Yu Chi Jincheng reached out to copy Wen Di, pushed her aside, and then raised his palm to shoot down the steel knife that flew over.
He Zi and Jiang Tao, who were accompanying them, had already made a move and attacked the servants who attacked Yu Chi Jincheng on the stage.
At this time, several black-clothed people appeared all over the place, and they rushed to Yu Chi Jincheng and Yu Chi Fengxuan, and the two were separated from each other and fought against the enemy separately.
"Hide there and don't move!" Yu Chi Jincheng shouted at Wen Di and slapped an assassin with his palm.
Behind him, another Assassin arrived with a sword and stabbed him in the ribs.
"Lord be careful!" Wen Di shrank in the corner, not afraid, just nervously looking at the field, those men in black didn't seem to regard her as a target, but just kept attacking Yu Chi Jincheng and Yu Chi Fengxuan.
"Bang Bang!" Three whips sounded, and the black-clothed man who wanted to attack Yu Chi Jincheng was swept away, and then the four dark guards descended from the sky and guarded him in four directions.
"Try to keep your mouth alive." After Yu Chi Jincheng coldly gave the order, the four dark guards slaughtered into the crowd like ghosts.
Li Yi's treasure knife continued to be sharp as before, like a human meat harvester, constantly burying the lives of the people in black.
Li San's whip whipped away all the black-clothed people who were close to Yu Chi Jincheng, leaving deep whip marks on their bodies, straight into the bone marrow.
Li Si held a pair of short blades in his hands, like a god of death, harvesting the lives of one man in black after another.
Only Li Er, who quickly slapped his palms and snapped his fingers, barely touching the assassins' bodies, killed them. Then he left the last two black-clothed men in place and brought them to Yu Chi Jincheng.
Yu Chi Jincheng had already retreated to Wen Di's side at this time, and looked at the field coldly. He didn't plan to help Wei Chi Fengxuan, with his martial arts, it was not so easy for these black-clothed people to hurt him, but he didn't bring a decent guard today, and he was injured in the arm, which really surprised him.
When Li Er came to Yu Chi Jincheng's side with the two assassins, Yu Chi Fengxuan's side also ended the battle. frowned and bandaged his injured arm briefly, and Yu Chi Fengxuan came to Yu Chi Jincheng.
"Seventeenth brother, you're not hurt, are you?" Yu Chi Fengxuan asked.
Yu Chi Jincheng shook his head, glanced at Yu Chi Fengxuan lightly, and said, "The third brother's injury is even worse?" ”
Yu Chi Fengxuan grinned slightly, and said with a wry smile: "Hey, the third brother seems to be old, how can these miscellaneous pieces be injured before?" ”
Wei Chi Jincheng pointed to the two people who were captured by Li Er and said, "The third brother might as well go back and rest first, these two people will be handed over to the younger brother for interrogation." ”
Yu Chi Fengxuan nodded and said, "It's okay, so there will be Seventeenth Brother Lao." ”
After saying that, he turned around and left with the people.
At this time, Jiang Tao and He Zi also killed the servants on the stage, He Zi said: "Master, these people are not the famous singers of Qiufeng Lou at all, they knocked the servants unconscious, tied them backstage, changed their clothes themselves, and came to assassinate!" ”
When Yu Chi Jincheng heard this, he looked at the two assassins who were subdued, and said, "Go down and have a look." ”
There was an assassination of the prince, and all the cast and crew of Fengtui Opera Court knelt on the ground, waiting for Yu Chi Jincheng to fall.
He led the men down, stood among them, his gaze swept over them, and finally rested on the corpses on the stage.
"Take them back and see if you can find any clues from the corpses." As soon as Yu Chi Jincheng's words fell, He Zi and Jiang Tao both made a move, each of them picked up a corpse, and left first.
Wen Di followed behind Yu Chi Jincheng, she saw the whole process most clearly, these men in black seemed to attack the two princes at the same time, but in fact, the main target was Yu Chi Jincheng. Who was trying to kill him?
"Aifei, you are frightened." Yu Chi Jincheng suddenly turned around, said lightly to Wen Di.
"Lord Wang, the concubine is fine, the prince is safe, it's better than anything else." Shaking his head, Wen Di reluctantly squeezed out a smile at him, "It's just that the concubine feels that this matter is not simple, so please ask the prince to leave this place quickly." ”
Yu Chi Jincheng nodded and was just about to turn around, when a group of musicians kneeling behind him suddenly raised their heads, plucked the mechanism in the instrument, and several hidden weapons shot towards Yu Chi Jincheng.
Yu Chi Jincheng's pupils tightened, his palms came out together, and a strong internal force was released, knocking down all the hidden weapons that came over.
Then the four dark guards took action one after another, avoided the hidden weapon, came behind the musician, and were about to capture them, but found that they had vomited black blood and committed suicide by taking poison. Looking up again, the two men in black who were captured had also been hit by the hidden weapons that were shot, and both of them died.
"Damn!" Yu Chi Jincheng's fists were clenched tightly, and he was just about to give the order to take down everyone here, when he heard the flute let out an exclamation.
"Seventeen masters!" The voice came from behind Wen Di, but it was a man dressed as a woman, he was dressed as a maid and knelt on the ground, taking advantage of everyone's efforts, taking Wen Di as a hostage and coercing him in his hands.
"There are many capable people around the seventeenth master, please forgive me for getting out of trouble in this way." The man put a knife against Wen Di's neck, and the whole person shrank behind her, and said sharply.
Seeing this, Wei Chi Jincheng's face did not change, and he replied coldly: "Who are you?" Think that using the king's side concubine as a bargaining chip can save him from death? ”
The man brought the knife in his hand closer to Wendi's neck, and shouted in a more sharp voice: "Lord Wang! Isn't this woman the person the prince cares about? If the prince doesn't want her to die, it's better to order your people to retreat and leave next! ”
The blade touched her snow muscles, leaving a shallow wound, and blood seeped out of the wound, making it glaring.
Wen Di didn't dare to move, just looked at Yu Chi Jincheng lightly, this man who had spoken to her many times at night, she wanted to know if he really cared about her.
However, Wei Chi Jincheng's eyes were not reluctant, not even hesitant, he sneered: "Joke! If you threaten this king with a woman, since you have the courage to assassinate him, don't you know how many women this king wants? ”
