Chapter 56: Human Affection

The north backyard is the accommodation arranged by Bo Yao for Fanlou, and occasionally the discussion is too late, and it is inconvenient to go back to the house, so he will rest here.

"The old man has come to capture an assassin." With Wu Zixu's words, Gongsun Li was about to break in, but was stopped by Fanlou, "This is my residence, Brother Gongsun just went in like this, I'm afraid it's not good." ”

Gongsun said with a gloomy face: "You want to shield the assassins? ”

"You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. I've been in the house, and I haven't seen anyone enter, let alone an Assassin. As soon as Fanlou's voice fell, Gongsun Li took advantage of the situation and said: "Since there is none, why are you afraid that I will go in and have a look." ”

"I don't like to let people into the house, especially those who carry knives and guns, and ......" Fanlou said coldly: "You broke in like this, Dazai-sama knows?" ”

"Over there, the old man will talk to him and go in and search." After Wu Zixu's words, Gongsun Li perked up and said to Fanlou: "Get out of the way immediately, otherwise you won't blame me for being polite!" ”

Fanlou wrinkled his eyebrows and said nothing, he was not afraid of leaving his grandson, but Wu Zixu ...... Far from what he can fight against, how can he be good?

Just when Wu Zixu and the others were impatient, the footsteps came in a hurry, it was Bo Yao, who didn't see the anger of being trespassed into the mansion at all, and greeted him with a smile on his face, "Isn't this Lord Xiangguo, why do you have time to come to my mansion today?" ”

Among the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, Wu Zixu was the most reluctant to see Bo Yao, and immediately said without pretense: "The old man came to arrest an assassin." ”

"Come to my house to catch the Assassins?" Bo Yao said with a surprised face: "Lord Xiangguo, isn't he joking with me?" ”

Gongsun Li arched his hand and said, "The last general chased the assassin all the way, and saw him flee into the Dazaifu with his own eyes. ”

Yan Ji also said: "Father, the assassin is fierce, if you don't arrest him as soon as possible, I am afraid that my father will be injured." ”

Bo Yao glanced around and said, "Look at so many of you gathered here, and the assassin is here?" ”

"Yes." Yan Ji hurriedly said: "Brother Gongsun watched her flee here with his own eyes, but Fanlou kept blocking and didn't let them go in to search, obviously because there was a ghost in his heart." ”

Bo Yao glanced at him sideways and said coldly, "Did I ask you?" ”

Yan Ji lowered his head in disdain, Bo Yao snorted coldly, and turned his gaze to Fanlou, who had never spoken much, "Is there an assassin?" ”

Fanlou said respectfully: "If you go back to your lordship, I have never seen it." ”

Bo Yao nodded slightly, and said to Wu Zixu: "My subordinate, I have never told lies, it must be a misunderstanding, Lord Xiangguo, please go back." ”

Wu Zixu ignored him, and only said to Gongsun Li: "Go and search, you must find the assassin." ”

Seeing that Wu Zixu didn't even look at himself, Bo Yao was annoyed in his heart, and said coldly: "Wu Zixu, I have kind words for you, don't go too far, otherwise you won't have good fruit to eat in front of the king." ”

This time, Wu Zixu looked at him squarely, but his eyes were full of sarcasm, "If the king is really to blame, the old man will bear it with all his might, and you won't bother." As he spoke, he said again: "Search! ”

"Yes." Gongsun Li agreed loudly, one forcibly broke in, the other refused, and immediately fought, both of them were experienced in a hundred battles, and it was difficult to distinguish for a while.

Yan Ji said in a low voice: "Father, let them go in and search, anyway, if something happens, it's Fanlou's fault, and it has nothing to do with us." ”

"Shut your mouth!" Bo Yao scolded angrily, they are all tiger fathers and no dogs, but this son is not like him at all, he only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, far less than Fanlou; If it weren't for the similarity of the faces, I would almost think that I had hugged the wrong one.

Fanlou took the opportunity of a false move, took a step back, and said, "It seems that I won't give up if I don't let you go in and search." After a short pause, he added, "I can let you go in and search, but what if you can't find it?" ”

Gongsun Li didn't dare to answer, and turned his head to look at Wu Zixu, who was the one who could call the shots, and the latter groaned slightly, and said, "If you can't find it, the old man won't step into Dazai's mansion again." ”

"Good!" Fanlou nodded, and then bowed his hand to Bo Ya and said, "I am willing to let them in to search, I wonder if Dazai will agree?" ”

Bo Yao glanced at him deeply, "This is your residence, you are in charge." ”

"Thank you, sir." With these words, Fanlou stepped aside and let Gongsun Li lead people in to search, until a pillar of incense passed, Gongsun Li came out with an ugly face, walked to Wu Zixu's side, and said in a low voice: "Lord Qiqi, I didn't find it." ”

Wu Zixu's eyes were cold, and Gongsun Li's face hurt, "Have you searched carefully?" ”

"All the corners and corners have been searched, but there really isn't." Gongsun Li said helplessly, he searched it three times, and even searched the places where he couldn't hide people, but he couldn't find it.

"Something that doesn't exist!" Wu Zixu scolded fiercely, and when he caught a glimpse of Bo Yao watching the play next to him, he felt that his face was gloomy. Gongsun was also interested, slapped himself hard, and said bitterly: "It's all because of the carelessness of the lowly position, and he told the Lord Xiangguo before he figured it out, so that the two adults had a big misunderstanding, and the lowly duty is really a crime that deserves death!"

Wu Zixu didn't make a sound with a cold face, he didn't speak, Gongsun Li didn't dare to stop, slapped palm after palm, half didn't dare to keep his hand, a few palms down, his cheeks were already red and swollen.

Contrary to Wu Zixu, Bo Yao was in a good mood at this time, he had been fighting with Wu Zixu for more than ten years, and he had always been at a disadvantage, but this time he took advantage of the assassin's matter to ruthlessly generalize Wu Zixu's army, which was really happy!

After Gongsun Li slapped the corners of his mouth and bleed, Bo Yao said slowly: "Since it was a misunderstanding, forget it, don't do it again in the future." ”

Hearing this, Gongsun Li stopped his hand and said respectfully, "Thank you Dazai-sama for your magnanimity, and the last general will definitely act carefully in the future." Every time he said a word, Gongsun Li felt that his cheeks were throbbing, and this time he really suffered a big loss.

Bo Yao smiled and saluted Wu Zixu: "The night is dark, Lord Xiangguo should be careful on the road." ”

"Farewell." Wu Zixu strode away, he didn't want to stay here for a moment, he had lived most of his life, and he had never been so embarrassed as he was now, and he was really embarrassed.

Yan Ji stared at Fanlou suspiciously, "You really don't have an assassin in secret?" ”

Before Fanlou could speak, Bo Yao had already glanced at him fiercely, "Isn't it embarrassing enough?" ”

Yan Ji said with a face full of grievances: "Isn't my son afraid that he will hide assassins and affect his father." ”

"If there were really assassins, Gongsun Li would have searched for them a long time ago, and would he leave like this?" Bo Yao scolded, still puzzled, and said angrily: "Everyone else is talking to their own house, you are good, your elbow turned out, why did I give birth to such a foolish thing as you, if you are half capable of Fanlou, I will be content." ”

Yan Ji was scolded by him and his face was flushed, and his hatred for Fanlou was a little more, but he didn't dare to attack in front of Bo Yao, so he had to say: "My son knows his mistake." ”

"Get out!" Under Bo Yao's reprimand, Yan Ji bowed his head and left, looking at his departing figure, Bo Yao shook his head again and again, "I will be angry with him sooner or later." ”

Fanlou persuaded: "The prince is also afraid that if he really makes a mistake and takes in the assassin, it will affect the adult, although he is not thoughtful enough, his filial piety is commendable." ”

Bo Yao sneered: "If something really happens, even if I hand you over, it's useless, Wu Zixu's fox will definitely take advantage of the topic and bite me." As he spoke, he said, "You really didn't see the Assassin?" ”

Fanlou shook his head and said, "I heard a noise outside, but I didn't see anyone after I came out. ”

Bo Yao nodded, "There have been a lot of things happening recently, you should be careful, if you find anything strange, come immediately." ”

"Yes." After seeing Bo Yao leave, Fanlou glanced around vigilantly, listened with bated breath for a while, and after making sure that there was no one around, he walked to a dense flower and tree in the courtyard and said softly: "Come out." ”

With his words, a figure walked out of the flowers and trees, it was Dong Yun, she was the assassin, Gongsun Li never dreamed that the assassin he couldn't find was under his nose.

Dongyun looked at Fanlou with a complicated expression, "Why are you helping me?" ”

She was chased by Gongsun Li all the way, and there was really nowhere to escape, so she fled into the nearby Dazaifu to hide, but she didn't expect to be discovered by Fanlou as soon as she landed, she thought that this time she was in a catastrophe, but she didn't expect Fanlou to help her.

In the evening, she received a message from Yiguang from the palace, asking her to pay attention to Wu Zixu's side, and sure enough, at night, she found that Wu Zixu sent someone to knock Niu Si out and take him to Xiangguo Mansion.

She relied on her martial arts to avoid the eyes and ears of the guards and quietly hide outside the house, when she heard that Niu Si couldn't resist the temptation and was about to tell the secret of the Guanwa Palace, she immediately killed Niu Si, but also exposed her whereabouts, attracting Gongsun Li's pursuit.

After Fanlou found her, he did not let her hide in the house, but ordered her to hide behind the flowers and trees in the courtyard, tonight the stars and moon were covered by dark clouds, the light was dim, and the flowers and trees were luxuriant, if you didn't look closely, it was difficult to find.

When it comes to hiding, people in the world have a fixed mindset, thinking that people must be hiding in the house, thus ignoring the outside of the house, Fanlou is using this to confuse Gongsun Li's sight, and he has done everything possible to obstruct and not be allowed to search inside, which makes Gongsun Li convinced that the assassin is hiding in the house.

"I have my reasons." Saying this, Fanlou asked, "Why is Gongsun Li chasing after you?" ”

Dongyun hesitated for a moment and said, "I killed someone." ”

"Arran?" Faced with Fanlou's speculation, Dong Yun shook his head and said, "No, it's another." ”

A trace of surprise flashed in Fanlou's eyes, and then he said: "So you have killed Wu Xiang and the two of you, is Wu Xiang's face so ugly." ”

"How do you know we killed Yayu?"

A smile appeared on Fanlou's face, which was more beautiful than a woman, "Didn't you just say it yourself?" ”

"You ......" Dong Yun realized that Fanlou was playing his own words, but it was too late, the latter's thoughts were deep beyond her reach.

"Who the hell are you?" Facing Dongyun's inquiry, Fanlou looked at the dark and dreary sky, and his clear voice sounded slowly in the cold autumn night, "When you should know, you will naturally know, now...... It's not time yet. ”

A strange thought arose in Dong Yun's heart, and he tentatively asked, "Could it be that you are ......?"

"Shh Fanlou made a silent gesture, "Don't guess, it's easy to get into trouble." ”

Seeing that his tone was tight, Dong Yun didn't say anything more, but said: "I have written down your favor, and I will definitely repay you if I have the opportunity another day." ”

"Where are you going?"

"Get out of here." Facing Dong Yun's answer, Fanlou shook his head and said, "If I were you, I would definitely not do this." ”

Dong Yunqi said: "Why? ”

"Although they are gone, the assassins have not found it, and the place they suspect the most is still Dazaifu; If I'm not mistaken, the people who are outside must not have been evacuated, and as soon as you go out, they will find out, and I really won't be able to protect you by then. Seeing that Dongyun was suspicious, Fanlou picked up a fist-sized stone from the ground and threw it out of the high wall.
