Chapter 40: Whose Game

Although Ye Huaiyu didn't want to admit it, he had to accept the fact that he had indeed become a stripped rooster.

The "1,000 elite soldiers" brought with them did not have a single hair left, and all of them were sacrificed to unknown cult organizations.

Luck is such a thing, it's just a crooked way that can watch you die, and can't bear to come to help you.

Fortunately, he still had money with him, Ye Huaiyu first found an inn to live in after arriving in Anqu County, bathed and changed clothes to get rid of the dusty smell of his body, and then put on the outfit that he had bought for him by bribing the shopkeeper to go out, and finally changed his appearance as if he had a person.

It would be even more perfect if the large bag of mosquito bites on the face could be eliminated.

Ye Huaiyu used his fingernails to draw a few crosses on the big bag, and after feeling a little better, he couldn't swallow the steaming dishes that had just been served on the table.

He didn't know where the bandit den was.

I don't know who the person who wants his life is, and where he is hiding in the dark at the moment.

Ye Huaiyu later realized that he only thought about the beginning during the day, it was impossible for his father to reveal his whereabouts, except for his mother and Cheng Jingxi, the people in the house didn't even know why he went out, even if there was a guess, they only felt that he was going to see off his father.

The rest is the emperor who has just been in power.

However, the leader of that gang claimed to ask the young master soldiers to hand him over, and the purpose seemed to be very simple, just to let him die in the grove. They only dare to shoot arrows from a distance, as if they are afraid that they will be exposed if they get close, and the leader even asks the person next to him to convey it on his behalf, what is he covering?

A group of people have poor archery accuracy and insufficient strength, and at first glance they are people who have not practiced much.

If you don't really have no fear, you are pretending to be a god and playing tricks.

They may be so cautious, perhaps either afraid that he will see it, or that he will recognize it.

Afraid he'll recognize him?

Ye Huaiyu's eyes narrowed, and he took the two truncated arrows from the side, the feathers at the tail end were not usually visible, but the arrows were hollowed out at both ends, giving birth to a groove, this kind of arrow has excellent stability after being shot, and in the hands of those who are good at riding and archery, this will be an excellent weapon.

The archery maker is a knowledgeable and very experienced man.

In this way, that person has just been in power for a short time, and there should be no such person available under his hands, not to mention that it is extremely unwise to ask for his life now, but as long as he thinks about problems with a trace of brain, he will never do such a thing.

But his so-called 1,000 elite soldiers......

The more Ye Huaiyu thought about it, the more chaotic his heart became, there seemed to be countless lines around him, but the threads were cleverly hidden, making people unable to figure out the direction.

The enemy is dark and I am clear, Ye Huaiyu let himself fall into such a passive situation for the first time in his life, but he couldn't think of a way to solve it for a while, so he could only put it down, put away the broken arrow again, and waited for them to come to the door again.

Cheng Jingxi finished dinner, Wuzi sat on the window frame in a daze with a notebook, Bi'er went to see her from time to time while cleaning up the room, it had been so long, if she hadn't kept her eyes open, she would have said that Her Royal Highness the princess might have fallen asleep.

The little maid couldn't help but sigh softly, it's been a whole day, and the princess has been in a state of mind since the young master went out.

But Cheng Jingxi was not missing Ye Huaiyu as Bi'er imagined, she was thinking, in the little story sent by the emperor's brother in the afternoon, in addition to the literal meaning, is there any other deep meaning?

He sarcastically said that she only knew pleasure in the Shuai Mansion, and completely forgot his younger brother in the widowed palace, forgot the long conversation between the two at night the night before the wedding, and forgot his ardent hopes and admonitions.

She went out of the palace wall, as if she was about to let herself go.

There is also a strategist next to the protagonist in the book.,It's that strategist who teaches him how to deal with the new master's inquiry.。

Counselors......

Cheng Jingxi silently broke and crumpled these two words in her heart, and then nodded slowly at a certain place in the void.

Oh, so the focus was on the strategists rather than the story.

I'm going to be an outcast. She thought seriously.

"Meowβ€”"

An abrupt and unfriendly cat meow suddenly interrupted the contemplation, and the cat's body jumped in front of Cheng Jingxi, two big eyes with green light stared at her eagerly, and their tongues kept licking the corners of their mouths on both sides, as if they were going to be hungry and hungry in the next moment, and devoured her directly into their stomachs.

Cheng Jingxi immediately howled out with a "whoop", the book in her hand fell into the newly grown grass under the window, she subconsciously dodged backwards, but she forgot that she was sitting on the window frame at the moment, and there was not even a cover behind her.

Bi'er packed up the dishes and chopsticks and sent them to the kitchen, she was the only one left in the house, Cheng Jingxi folded her head to the ground, and hit her waist firmly.

"Meowβ€”"

The green-eyed black cat jumped on the window frame and sat down on the spot, squatting like a mouse.

Cheng Jingxi scolded her mother in her heart, looking at the cat that only needs to become a murderer, she wanted to say two words, but when she thought about it, she couldn't understand it, and wasted her lips and tongue, so she had to sit on the ground and stare at it, and confront it strangely.

Bi'er Xu heard the very penetrating howl, panting and running back, as soon as she entered the door, she adhered to the principle of what kind of master has what kind of slave, and howled out like Cheng Jingxi, and grabbed the flower ** on the side very efficiently and smashed it.

The black cat ran away.

Bi'er's shouting did not stop, and Cheng Jingxi not only did not have the slightest sense of gratitude to the benefactor who saved her life, but also grinned at the benefactor unbearably: "Shut up!" ”

The little maid obediently closed her mouth, and ran over to help her up in a panic, "Where is the princess?" ”

Cheng Jingxi's painful face was distorted, and she walked to the bed halfway, "I'm afraid it's flashing." ”

The little maid was instantly frightened into a fool, "Then that, that, what should I do, princess?" ”

Cheng Jingxi lay straight on the couch, and replied to her angrily according to the irritability in her heart: "Look for it, find the doctor!" ”

Bi'er was about to cry, "Princess, you can't stand up and are still in the mood to joke!" ”

Cheng Jingxi waved at her as if she couldn't resist it, "Hurry up!" ”

"Yes!"

"Close the doors and windows for me!"

"Yes!"

The maid hurriedly ran out, and Cheng Jingxi's face gradually turned cold.

The cat is raised by the Yuan family, and she has never been seen to let the cat out in Su Ri, and only blindly feeds it in the room, especially after the last time she had a quarrel with Ru Niang, the cat was completely restricted.

Why did the black light slip out again?

Cheng Jingxi faintly had a bad feeling, and her heart was beating out of order, as if she was about to run out of her chest.

Ye Huaiyu......

Cheng Jing was taken aback, what do you want him to do at this time!

And at this moment, the courtyard to the west.

Yuan took the freshly mixed meat to the wing room for her cat to eat, but when she opened the door, she didn't see the little liver waiting for her at the door, Yuan's temples couldn't help but start jumping up suddenly, put down the cat bowl, and called softly, "Dabao? ”

She was met with silence.

Yuan Shi raised his volume again, "Dabao! ”

Not far away, there was a sudden burst of cat meows, and a sound was closer, Yuan Shi turned around happily, and saw that his big treasure came to her after a few dodge jumps, and kept rubbing back and forth at her feet.

The stone in Yuan's heart fell, and he couldn't bear to be harsh for a while, and softly stretched out his hand to it, "Come here." ”

The black cat Dabao immediately jumped on the small cabinet beside her and looked at her.

"Eat."

Dabao first lowered his head and sniffed, and then took a big gulp.

Yuan touched it gently, "Eat slowly, don't worry......"

After taking care of the cat, Yuan went back to the house, Ye Huaijin came out of the back room, and when he saw her, he asked, "What's wrong with Dabao?" ”

Yuan frowned slightly, "Dabao doesn't know when and where he got out, and he actually came back from outside just now." ”

Ye Huaijin's eyes flashed, "Isn't the door of the wing room closed well?" ”

"That's what I'm talking about!" Yuan bit his lip and frowned.

"Okay," Ye Huaijin stepped forward and hugged his wife's shoulders and said softly, "Isn't it okay to come back?" ”

Yuan leaned on her husband's arms and coquettishly, "I'm afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction with anyone when it goes out, and then I will use this as a rhetoric and won't let me raise a big treasure!" ”

"No, just close it later."

Three hundred miles away in Anqu County, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the ink-stained quiet night, Ye Huaiyu suddenly opened his eyes, swept away the previous tiredness in his eyes, got up quietly, and blew out the candles in the house.

There is a sound from the roof.

Looking up at the tiles above, Ye Huaiyu thought for a while, and stood behind the screen next to the bed with a knife.

A figure crept by the window outside his house, and instead of looking elsewhere, slowly pushed open his door.

Ye Huaiyu's eyebrows moved slightly, thinking in his heart that the current killer doesn't need to be assessed when he starts? I didn't even have the most basic consciousness to kill someone.

But then, he was a little impressed by the killer industry.

Then he came to the candlestick, and took out a candle from his pocket, and replaced the one that had been placed in it.

After doing this well, the task was actually completed, and he wanted to come and go quietly, but as soon as he turned around, he hit his head on the chest of a person.

The killer is the fastest to react, but no matter how fast he is, he is not as good as Ye Huaiyu, who was prepared, he only had time to show the dagger he was hiding with him, and he was suddenly grabbed by the neck and then twisted violently, and his eyeballs fell to the ground violently.

Ye Huaiyu dragged the person to the bed and put it away, and waited quietly for a while, after being sure that this person really came alone tonight, he breathed a sigh of relief, went back and took off the candle on the candlestick, tore off the corner of the lining and wrapped it carefully, and put it in one place with the broken arrow.

If he didn't know in advance, as long as he lit this candle, he would definitely die without any preparation for death.

Kill people quietly, and then take the candle away after he dies, leaving no trace.

makes people think that he can't think of suicide.

He led his troops to clear out the bandits, but unexpectedly, all his soldiers were intercepted halfway through, and he was the only one left. If you can't fight, how can you return to Beijing to recover your life?

If you add oil and vinegar to an insider afterwards, maybe even the person who cut off half of the beard can be deducted from his head and asked him to take the pot, anyway, everyone is dead, and he can't deny it.

This seems to be a scene full of loopholes, but it can make some people believe it.

Why did those men kill all the soldiers, but spare the lives of the leaders?

This alone can make him die without turning a blind eye, and he will never be able to turn over.

Thinking of this, Ye Huaiyu leaned over and touched the original candle from the man's pocket, lit the fire, and the candlelight moved to the man's face, which was a human face.

Unrelentingly, he reached out and touched him, and he really touched a piece of hard things, and when he turned it out and took it to the candle, it was a large piece of gold bar.

And it's a gold bar with the Jokhang seal!

Ye Huaiyu's heart and temples jumped suddenly.

After disposing of the corpse overnight, Ye Huaiyu left the room early the next morning, found an impartial place to sit down on the first floor, and asked for a bowl of noodles, a small plate of beef sauce, and a pot of tea.

After eating the noodles with beef, Ye Huaiyu drank tea and rinsed his mouth.

After that, I got up and checked out and left, without any further stops.

He had heard the message he wanted to hear.

When he was young, his father once told him that if he wanted to know something, he would go to a teahouse and a restaurant.

Cheng Jingxi's back hurt all night, and she hummed all night, and she couldn't stand up.

Last night, the imperial doctor tossed a handful of old bones over, Cheng Jingxi cried as if she saw her family, the old doctor was anxious and comforted a few words, and before leaving, she prescribed a few pairs of medicines, and gave a few sticks of plasters with a strong medicinal flavor, and taught the kneading technique to the maid Bi'er, and then staggered back.

Crying like that, Mrs. Ye naturally couldn't pretend not to hear, she got up and dressed in a hurry, and when she was on the road, she couldn't help but chant in her heart, and she didn't see any trouble when she was at home, and she started to be a demon as soon as she left!

But when she saw Cheng Jingxi's appearance of being paralyzed in bed for the rest of her life, she suddenly lost her temper, and the emperor's relatives said that they would take a break, and if she really found this reason, then the reputation of the Shuai Mansion would be ruined in the future!

Mrs. Ye couldn't bear to see Cheng Jingxi's appearance, so she had to grab Bi'er Xingshi on the side and ask, "What's the matter?" ”

Bi'er was born with sharp teeth, and she didn't know that she was afraid when she heard the words, so she opened her mouth with confidence: "Mrs. Hui, the princess used dinner to sit on the window frame to read a book, and the slave maid cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks from the side, but when the slave sent the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen, I don't know where a big green-eyed cat with black eyes jumped out, and she was about to bite the princess, and the princess accidentally fell from the window frame when she dodged, and her waist hit the ground first. ”

Cheng Jingxi hummed and chirped on the bed very cooperatively, making a painful appearance that she couldn't help it.

Mrs. Ye said in her heart that she ate a little girl inside and outside, but now her wings are really stiff, and lying is like the real thing, didn't she say that she went to the kitchen to deliver dishes and chopsticks? How can you still tell the truth about what you don't see? If you don't find a good place to read a book, what window frame do you sit? Did she marry a princess and come back, or was she reckless?

But she couldn't say any of these words, and if she did, it showed that she didn't believe it.

The facts are in front of her, if she disagrees with her again, it will be equivalent to moving "secretly disdainful of the princess" to the surface.

Mrs. Ye's eyes were full of distress, and she stepped forward and said, "What did the imperial doctor say?" ”

Cheng Jingxi had a hard time opening her mouth to speak, so she had to look at Bi'er who was clubbing on the side.

Bi'er hurriedly understood, her eyes immediately turned red, and she said sincerely: "The imperial doctor said that His Royal Highness may not be able to stand up this month, or he may not be able to stand up in the future!" ”

Mrs. Ye's eyebrows jumped, and she faintly felt that the bubbles that had disappeared for a long time had the posture of getting up again, "Huh? ”

Seeing that Mrs. Ye didn't say a word about the big black cat, Bi'er anxiously glanced at Cheng Jingxi, and when she saw the latter nodding, she turned her eyes red again, and said: "Madam, in order not to hurt the black cat, the princess would rather twist her waist herself, madam, what should I do, in case His Royal Highness really can't stand up again in the future, and the young master is not at home at the moment, what should I do......" As she spoke, tears fell down like money.

Mrs. Ye's ears on both sides were disturbed by her nasal voice, as if thousands of bees were buzzing in her ears, and her brain was blank for a moment before she could regain her clarity.

Black cat, black cat, let her dispose of the cat a long time ago, but she just didn't listen!

"Can you see clearly, it's a black cat?"

Bi'er sobbed and said, "Madam, slave, slave, how can you still distinguish and distinguish that it is the cat of the second young man and the young grandmother......

Cheng Jingxi was amused, and after listening to it, she wanted to laugh, but just as she was about to make a move, she was suffocated back by pain.

Mrs. Ye gritted her teeth, and thought of thousands of ways to make this little girl disappear, but her face was solemn with anger, and she said to the entourage outside: "Go and call the Yuan family to me!" After that, he changed his face again, and asked Cheng Jingxi softly, "How is the princess feeling now?" Really ...... in the future. Can't stand up? ”

Cheng Jingxi said intermittently: "Mother...... I ......"

Mrs. Ye felt that the fire bubble in her mouth was already full, and when she saw this, she hurriedly interrupted her, "Okay, Your Highness, don't worry, I'll have someone find all the doctors in the capital early tomorrow morning, and someone will definitely know what to do......"

Cheng Jingxi nodded at her firmly, looking very trusting, but it made Mrs. Ye feel even more worried.

After a while, the entourage came over with a pale face, she had already heard the entourage roughly explain what was going on from the road, and she was still lucky, but when she saw it here, she couldn't help but play mourning for her big treasure.

Needless to say, Yuan came in and knelt down, Xu foresaw the fate of her beloved pet, she cried a little really, "Mother, the daughter-in-law is wrong, the daughter-in-law is not optimistic about the cat, and the daughter-in-law is wrong......"

Cheng Jingxi: "......"

Mrs. Ye frowned and looked at her displeasurefully.

The second daughter-in-law is the most beautiful of the three of them, and even when she cries like this, I feel pity, so Mrs. Ye is mostly the most blind to her on weekdays.

Therefore, she can't open her mouth when dealing with the cat, so she can only wait for her to say it herself.

Yuan Shi saw that Mrs. Ye was indifferent for a long time, and seeing that Cheng Jingxi's living evidence over there was still there, he finally understood in his heart that it was useless to cry to death today. If she doesn't give a reasonable reason, she'll have to be unlucky with her cat!

Thinking of this, Yuan gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Mother, daughter-in-law...... The daughter-in-law will hand over the cat and let it be disposed of! ”

Mrs. Ye finally couldn't bear it, she first glanced at Cheng Jingxi, and then asked Yuan, "Why is it so good, the cat just ran out?" ”

Cheng Jingxi's eyes moved slightly.

Yuan said: "The daughter-in-law didn't know, the daughter-in-law originally prepared food for the cat to feed at night, but when she opened the door, she found that it was not inside, and the daughter-in-law shouted twice and saw that he had come back from outside." ”

"Is the door to the wing room not closed?"

Yuan recalled: "The daughter-in-law remembers that it is closed, that is, it is ......" She thought of something, and the unknown emotion flashed in her eyes, and she changed her words, "It is closed, and the daughter-in-law remembers it clearly,!" ”

Mrs. Ye took the opportunity to give an explanation, "In this case, maybe the cat broke open the window and ran away." ”

Yuan got off the donkey, nodding his head, tears rippling, "It must be so, mother!" ”

Mrs. Ye looked at Cheng Jingxi...... Seeing the hurried smile on the corner of Cheng Jingxi's mouth, his heart sank.

Cheng Jingxi's pain seemed to have been alleviated a little, and she was able to speak more easily, so she no longer needed Bi'er to help her, she said: "Cats are spiritual creatures, and they can't be killed......

Yuan's face was full of joy.

Mrs. Ye's hanging heart also slowly let go.

"I'm tired."

The fearful people breathed a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Ye had been waiting for her words since she came in, and she finally heard it, and hurriedly gave a few words of advice before leaving with someone.

After Cheng Jingxi asked Bi'er to close the door and go out, she slowly sat up.

Although my waist does hurt, I don't have to be able to stand up for the next month, but it's just a scaring rhetoric.

She just wondered why the cat had escaped.

It may have been a coincidence that she came here, but it wouldn't have been so coincidental.

Yuan's sudden panicked disguise changed his words, allowing Cheng Jingxi to confirm his judgment again.

Two days ago, she happened to walk to the courtyard wall, and unexpectedly found a footprint on the wall, and the messy grass that had been stepped on.

If the judgment is correct, the same is true for the wall and the outside.

If it is a person from the house, who will not leave the door, but come over the wall in one fell swoop?

Cheng Jingxi suppressed this matter and didn't say anything, thinking that she wouldn't find the other party's traces so soon, but who knew that not long after it had passed, the opportunity would come.

Yuan, Ye Huaijin.

They're already on the move.

Rebellious ministers and thieves, internal and external troubles.

Cheng Jingxi closed her eyes and remembered the story she had read in the afternoon, her imperial brother could never be the protagonist in it.

But how can this matter be without Ye Huaixin? Although the whole thing down, it seems that he does not exist.

And what role did he play in it?
