Chapter 660: The True Murderer (3)

"Really don't go back with your uncle?" Outside the barracks, Gongsun Wude, who was on the horse and preparing to return, turned his head to Gongsun Helan again, and said: "Now that Chang'an is in turmoil and the fighters are rising, it is a good time for my generation of warriors to stain the battlefield with blood and make contributions, are you really willing to miss it like this?" ”

"Nephew, I only wish, uncle, when you return to Chang'an, this war has not yet been extinguished, otherwise wouldn't you let your uncle run for nothing?" Gongsun Helan shook her head disappreciatively, obviously not optimistic about Gongsun Wude's return escort.

Rushing from the northwest border to Chang'an City, there is no thirty or fifty days, that is not to think about it, and these thirty or fifty days, although it does not seem to be long, but if during this period, the emperor and his old man have a heart, Li You's rebellion game is afraid that it will end soon.

Li You and the emperor are simply fingers and thighs, not at the same level at all, Gongsun Helan doesn't think that Li Shimin will let Li You's kid hold on until thirty or fifty days later, especially after knowing the news that his eldest brother Liu Yi returned to Chang'an, Gongsun Helan confirmed it in his heart.

"Okay, okay, it's this set of rhetoric again." Gongsun Wude waved his hand impatiently and interrupted, saying: "Everyone has their own ambitions, you don't want to go back, and your uncle is not reluctant, but when the New Year is closed this year, you must go back to Sanyuan to visit relatives and ancestors, and meet your father and mother. ”

"Even if the uncle doesn't say it, I'm going to go back at the end of the year," Gongsun Helan replied, leaving home for the first time, to be honest, this kid is also a little homesick.

After speaking, Gongsun Helan stretched out his hand and brought forward the 'Liu Wuxian' behind him, and said to Gongsun Helan: "I heard that Brother Liu has appeared in Chang'an now, and I think that the matter has been resolved, and I will no longer be as silent as before. ”

"Well, I know, if the Liu boy is really in Chang'an, this old donkey man will definitely send it to him." Gongsun Wude grinned lightly, if he remembered well, the reason why their Xiao Lan'er became so powerful was mostly due to Liu Yi's guidance and teaching, if he could ask Xiao Lan'er's weaknesses from the mouth of the Liu family's boy, if he did it with Xiao Lan'er next time, he would not be as embarrassed as before.

"Also, Brother Yang knows that the uncle loves horses, and there are few good riders when he stepped down, so he specially picked a good horse for the uncle to give away." Seeing that Gongsun Wude should respond, Gongsun Helan took the reins from the retinue behind him, and once again pulled out a young horse, and said: "This is the last thousand-mile horse of 'Yantian Ranch', although it is still young, but the muscles and bones have taken shape, and the uncle brought it back to the house, and it was carefully raised for three or five months, so he didn't have to worry about not being able to ride this thousand-mile horse." ”

"Oh? Hahaha, since it was given by the boy of the Yang family, it was considered a filial piety, but the old man was disrespectful and accepted it. Even the guests were not polite, the old man snatched the reins, and happily looked up and down the foal in his hand, looking at the gods, shapes, and bones, all of which were of the highest quality, and the old man was so happy that his saliva was about to drip to the ground.

The last time Wang Zhihong brought back the thousand-mile horse, the old man was very greedy, but it was a pity that it was a tribute horse given to the emperor, and the emperor is also a horse lover, there is no intention to give it to his subordinates, and the old man can only look at it. I never thought that so soon, this kind of good thing would fall on my head again.

"Oh? Went back? Hasn't he just arrived for a day, why is he in such a hurry to go back again? In the guest room, Qu Baobao listened quietly to the reply of the escort Ah Da, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and he asked Ah Da suspiciously.

"Miss doesn't know," Ah Da replied: "There is news from Chang'an, saying that it is Li You, the fifth son of the Tang Emperor, who rebelled a while ago, and Chang'an City was in chaos, and Gongsun Wude was in a hurry to return this time, which should be related to this matter." ”

"Well, that's reasonable." Qu Baobao nodded her little head slowly, and said: "Gongsun Wude, as the left prison general, has the duty of guarding the emperor, and now that the Tang Emperor has something, it is not surprising that the old man is in a hurry to turn around." However, what about Gongsun Helan, didn't she go back with Gongsun Wude? ”

"Well, not really." Carefully looking up at their young lady, Ah Da hesitated and said to their young lady: "However, Gongsun Helan gave that Gongsun Wude two divine horses. One is the hundred-mile donkey that Miss has a crush on, and the other is a thousand-mile horse cub. ”

"What?!" The little girl jumped up from the chair with a touch of the ground, her face looked a little gloomy, and her little face couldn't help but tense up.

Okay, you grandson Helan, that hundred-mile donkey, this girl begged you to buy it in a kind voice, you don't sell it, but now let you give it away?

And the owner of the farm surnamed Ji, didn't he say that there were no more Maxima in the ranch? What should be the explanation for the cub that was sent by Gongsun Helan?

A kind of humiliation of being tricked and deceived hit her mind, the little girl was so angry that her face was red, her teeth were clucking, and she couldn't wait to soak the flesh and skin of Gongsun Helan and Ji He now.

"Ah Da Ah Er, since Datang's Qin Cha has left, we have nothing to scruple about, you go and clean up, and let's go to 'Yantian Ranch' in a while." Qu Baobao's little fists clenched, since you don't want this girl to stay in the ranch, this girl is not as good as you mean, this 'Yantian Ranch', this girl is stunned! Hum!

"Miss, a ranch is just a young general of the Tang Dynasty, it's not worth it for Miss to be so angry." There was no response, Ah Da carefully persuaded and asked: "Moreover, Miss has been out for so long, should we go back, the lord and wife of the family, I'm afraid they are already a little anxious." ”

"Daddy's side, just go to the ward with just someone," glancing at Ah Da unhappily, Qu Baobao said softly: "'Yantian Ranch' is not an ordinary ranch, the place where Ilima can be bred is not a place, in addition to the miser in Wusun Kingdom, can you find a third one?" Tell my dad about the situation, and he won't blame it. Do as I tell you. ”

"Yes, Miss, the villain will give the order." Seeing their young lady and showing dislike, Ah Da was reluctant, but he didn't dare to disobey more, and after answering softly, he slowly retreated.

"Your Majesty, although official business is important, you can't ignore your body," In the study, Concubine Yin once again picked up the porridge bowl on the table, handed it to Li Shimin, looked at Li Shimin earnestly, and said: "The porridge is a little cold, the emperor should eat some of it." ”

"Oh, hehe, if Concubine Ai didn't mention it, I would almost forget it," Li Shimin smiled and stretched out his hand to take the porridge bowl, looked up at Concubine Yin with pity, and said softly: "How can I miss the porridge water that Concubine Ai warmed herself?" ”

Li Shimin picked up the spoon in the bowl, scooped a spoonful full, and was about to stretch it out to his mouth to deliver, when he heard Xiao Dezi's voice singing outside: "The queen has arrived!" ”

At the next moment, without waiting for the courtesy of the waiter outside the door, the eldest grandson queen hurriedly walked in from the outside, and saw that the concubine Yin was on the side, and the emperor was eating the porridge and water in the bowl, her face couldn't help but change, and she stepped forward to salute Li Shimin, and said: "The concubine has seen the emperor!" ”

"Sister Queen!" Concubine Yin got up from Li Shimin's side and bowed to the eldest grandson queen.

"Sister Yin Concubine is also there." Empress Eldest Sun nodded lightly, as if she had seen her.

"Concubine Yin knows that I am a little weak these days, so I specially cooked a bowl of bird's nest porridge and sent it." Raising his hand to put down the porridge bowl, Li Shimin stood up lightly, explained to Concubine Yin in a low voice, glanced at Empress Changsun, and said, "It's the queen, didn't you go to the Duke of Qi, why did you come back so quickly?" Qi Guogong has woken up now? ”

"Thanks to the emperor's blessings, the eldest grandson is now fine, and when the concubine comes back, the eldest grandson has been able to stay and walk, and his expression is no different from usual." Bending slightly and replying, Empress Changsun's eyes looked at the bird's nest porridge on the table, and said softly to Concubine Yin: "Sister Concubine Yin has a heart, but Sister Concubine Yin may not know, this morning, the Imperial Physician Department ordered Ren Chenggang to probe the pulse of the emperor, saying that the emperor has been weak and weak in the past few days, and needs to be warmed and replenished, such as bird's nest ginseng, which is not easy to eat, otherwise it will not be replenished, and it is very easy to hurt the body." ”

"Huh? Is it, Your Majesty, why didn't you remind your concubines just now? Concubine Yin's complexion changed slightly, and she said softly: "If the emperor really drinks a good thing, how can the concubine bear it?" ”

Saying that, Concubine Yin was about to step forward to ask for the porridge bowl back, but was stopped by Li Shimin, Li Shimin glanced at the eldest grandson queen, and then whispered to Concubine Yin: "Concubine Ai is worried, haven't I drunk it yet?" Besides, how can this also be a piece of the concubine's heart, how can I categorically refuse? ”

"Your Majesty!" Hearing Li Shimin's words, she called Li Shimin softly, and Concubine Yin burst into tears with excitement again.

"Seeing that Sister Yin Fei's complexion is pale, and her body is much thinner than before, why don't you eat this bowl of bird's nest and make up for it, otherwise it will be a pity to waste it?" Empress Eldest Sun also looked at Concubine Yin with pity, and kindly proposed.

"Well, the queen is right, so Concubine Ai will eat this bowl of porridge, and it will lose its taste when it gets cold for a while." Li Shimin nodded in agreement, and pushed the porridge bowl towards Concubine Yin, signaling Concubine Yin to eat it.

"In this way, the concubine will be rude!" Seeing that she couldn't avoid it, Concubine Yin's complexion changed slightly, but she still slowly reached out and took the porridge bowl.

"Smack!"

Before the spoon was put into his mouth, a hand was stretched out from the diagonal side to knock it down, and the spoon fell to the ground, and the porridge was sprinkled and the porridge water splashed all over the ground.

"Miss, since they have all seen through, why are you doing this?" A shrill voice sounded from behind him, but it was Yin Chun, the chief attendant of Yonghe Palace, who stepped forward from behind, gently held the arm of their young lady, and said softly.

"Having come to this point, do you think there is still a way out for this palace?" Behind Yin Chun, Concubine Yin smiled sadly, with infinite bitterness on her face: "To drink or not to drink, in fact, it is all a result, since I came tonight, this palace has never thought that I can get out alive." ”

"You really did this?" Seeing this situation, Li Shimin looked at Concubine Yin coldly, glanced at Yin Chun with slanted eyes, and said: "Duke Qi and Song Guogong are unconscious, it is Yin Chun's doing, and Mr. Liu was assassinated before, and it was Yin Chun who shot him, right?" ”

"Since the emperor has already guessed it, why should he ask more?" Looking up at Li Shimin, Concubine Yin said softly: "The concubine knows that when the incident first started, the emperor was suspicious of the concubine. After all, You'er is the biological son of the concubine, and the concubine is the descendant of the Yin Shishi. ”

"The concubine only hates, that Liu Yi appeared unexpectedly and broke the good thing of the concubine's body, otherwise, this hundred days of sleeping incense can definitely kill those old guys." As she spoke, a look of hatred flowed from Concubine Yin's face.

"Why? For the sake of a rebel, you murdered the ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, not to mention, in the end, you even wanted my life, but I don't treat you well on weekdays? Seeing Yin Chun's right hand reaching into his waist, Li Shimin's heart tightened, and he asked Concubine Yin softly.

"No, the emperor's treatment of the concubines can be said to be as kind as a mountain, and the concubines originally planned to follow after the emperor went, and the concubines would follow with porridge." Raising her hand to stop Yin Chun's movements, Concubine Yin shook her head and said softly: "There is nothing to blame, only blame, You'er, this kid is too uncompetitive, what is not good to do, but to do this rebellious deed, isn't this to push yourself on the road to desperation?" ”

"You'er can't fight the emperor, if there is no accident, it won't take five days, the emperor can let You'er die under the chaotic blade, there is no father and son in the court, just like Li Tai, the king of Wei," turned her head and glanced at the eldest grandson queen, and Concubine Yin said softly: "If you commit rebellion, you are the emperor's biological son, and there is only one way to die." The concubines knew that the emperor had this ruthlessness. ”

"The concubine did this, just because she didn't want You'er to die too miserably, and she just wanted to find a way for him to live." Concubine Yin continued: "The emperor is dead, and the court is in chaos, so You'er will have such a chance." The concubine didn't want him to be able to ascend to the throne and become the king of a country, as long as he could live in the rest of the situation, the concubine would be content. ”

"The kindness of a woman!" Hearing Concubine Yin talk about herself, Empress Changsun couldn't help but reprimand: "For the sake of an unscrupulous rebel, do you want to kill the monarch and conspire with the ministers, disturb the chaos of the dynasty, and put my Tang Dynasty in a place of no return?" ”

Although she is a woman, in such a major event, Empress Changsun is not ambiguous at all.

"A woman's kindness? Oh, the eldest grandson sister said it so easily, but the younger sister can't be like her sister, who can ruthlessly give up her own flesh and blood and let her fend for herself. Speaking of which, my sister is just a little woman who doesn't want to watch her child die early. With a self-deprecating chuckle, Concubine Yin glanced at Yin Chun, and then said to Empress Changsun: "However, since Sister Changsun is here today, let's go with the emperor, and on the Huangquan Road, we can also accompany each other." ”

"Your Majesty, the queen mother, offended!" Screamed and saluted Li Shimin and the others, Yin Chun put his hand into his waist, and slowly pulled out a soft sword from his waist.

"I always felt something was wrong." On the carriage to the house, Liu Yiyi whispered to Li Ran, the chief chamberlain on the side: "If the person who caused this incident is really Concubine Yin, now that the matter is revealed, will Concubine Yin Niangniang come to a dead end and want to murder the emperor?" The chamberlain who came to assassinate him was very good, but if he was allowed to get close to the emperor, it would not be good. ”

"Otherwise, Manager Li should go back to the palace first." Liu Yiyi said: "After the failure of the first assassination, there will be no second time in a short period of time, and now the emperor's safety is more important." ”

"Hehe, Mr. Liu has a heart." After listening to Liu Yiyi's words, Li Ran did not rush back to the palace in a hurry, but chuckled at Liu Yiyi and said sharply: "However, Mr. Liu may not know what kind of place the palace is, who is the emperor and his old man, how can there be only one villain and one guard by the emperor's side?" ”

"That chamberlain doesn't move," Li Ran said with a smile on his face: "If he dares to offend the emperor without dying, no matter how high his martial arts are, there is only one dead word that can fall in the end." ”

"Therefore, Mr. still put his heart in his stomach and went to diagnose Master Fang with good health," Li Ran said: "There are villains by Mr.'s side, and Mr. is safe and worry-free." ”

"Oh? In this case, Liu will be relieved. Hearing this, Liu Yiyi couldn't help but sigh, he didn't care much if Li Ran was not by his side, but Li Shimin couldn't have an accident now, that was the patron saint of his Liu clan, if this Ming Jun suddenly hung up, he Liu Yiyi, as well as his Liu family, it is estimated that it will be dangerous.

"Speaking of which, the emperor has been worrying about this matter for a while," Li Ran took over the conversation, glanced at Liu Yiyi, and said, "Thanks to Mr. Liu's good fortune, if that assassin really goes tonight, he will be in a big trouble." The matter of Pingqi will not drag on like this anymore. ”

"It's just that the emperor shouldn't be shocked." Liu Yiyi chimed in, thinking that the assassin might sneak into the palace, he couldn't help but worry about Chu Chu and Bao'er, who were still in the palace, and prayed that nothing would happen to them.

"Mr. said with a smile," Li Ran continued: "The emperor is a person who has seen a big battle, nothing has happened, and a mere assassin can't scare the emperor and his old man." ”

"Manager Li is right, it is Liu who is anxious and lost his words......"

Inside the car, Liu Yiyi and Li Ran chatted without a word, outside the car, the rain was still falling without a ride, the sky occasionally rose, and there would be a burst of lightning and thunder to help the fun, the night was confused, and the night of the autumn rainy day seemed extraordinarily cold.
