Chapter XVII
Li Xin'er said softly: "That's true. It was for this reason that I parted ways with Master three years ago. Master asked me not to get involved, but I had to go in order to avenge my parents, and when Master saw that he couldn't stop me, he broke off the master-apprentice relationship with me and asked me to vow not to meet her again. ”
Wang Yuan smacked his tongue and said, "I see, I see." This Li Heng is scheming and forbearing, and he is willing to operate for six years, just to make you his eyeliner. However, you did get your wish and enter Li Linfu's mansion? ”
"Yes, I was performing in Chang'an East City, and after my master disappeared, the sword dance in Chang'an City has been extinct. As soon as I appeared, it caused a sensation in the capital, and many luxurious and wealthy families invited me to perform and live permanently, including the old thief, so it was not difficult to enter the old thief's mansion. It's a pity that the old thief is cautious and has no chance to slaughter him personally, so I can only hide in it to find out the news, make eyeliner for the prince, and let the prince have a chance to deal with him. Li Xin'er gritted her silver teeth and said hatefully.
"And what happened the night before yesterday? Why were you wanted by Jin Wuwei? ”
"That's because, the night before yesterday, I visited the old thief's house at night, but I heard that the old thief was plotting to frame the officials of the prince's party, so as to implicate the prince's shocking conspiracy, but when I left, I was accidentally discovered and had to escape from the prime minister's mansion. The old thief must have been afraid that I had heard important news, so he did not hesitate to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the Nanya to arrest me. I was wounded by an arrow when I fled, and I escaped all the way from Chongyifang in Dongcheng, and was finally rescued by you here, and this is how it all happened. ”
Li Xin'er bit her lower lip and sighed, after saying all these things, it could be seen that she had also let go of the barriers in her heart.
Wang Yuan was a little chaotic in his mind, he believed that what Li Xin'er said was true, it was impossible to make up these things seamlessly, all the causes and consequences were closely controlled, if it could be made up so smoothly, Li Xin'er was a talent.
But the problem is that when this matter is presented in front of him, he realizes the seriousness of the problem, and what he saved is not an assassin, but an insider who knows that he is plotting to deal with the prince's secrets when Li Linfu mobilizes his troops and horses to arrest him. Can you imagine, once you know that you are hiding this person, what will happen to you? I'm afraid it's even more terrible than death.
Wang Yuan got up and paced slowly in the house, knowing so many amazing secrets, Wang Yuan had to face and think seriously. Saving Li Twelve Niang was already his own out-of-the-ordinary move, but now Li Twelve Niang's identity is so complex and important, which is beyond Wang Yuan's psychological capacity. It's not a simple act of righteousness and courage to save the beauty of the hero, but it has already provoked the fire.
"Twelve Niang, I have a particularly strong feeling after listening to the whole thing, with all due respect, it seems that the crown prince Li Heng is just using you as a tool to avenge your parents, but it is just a pretense. Nine years have passed, and Li Linfu is still in power, don't you doubt that Li Heng is impossible to help you get rid of Li Linfu and take revenge? ”
Li Xin'er bit her lower lip and thought about it, and said quietly for a while: "What Second Brother Wang said has already been thought about thousands of times, I don't want to participate in the battle between them, and I don't care about the victory or defeat between them, and I also understand that the prince may just be using me." However, I can't avenge my parents with my strength, I must find a backer to help me, at least the relationship between the prince Li Heng and the old thief is like fire, and there is always a chance to achieve my desire for revenge on the side of the prince. Besides, if I can enter the old thief's house and get close to the old thief, I will have the opportunity to kill him. Although this chance is extremely slim, without the help of the prince, I would not even have this slim chance; If it weren't for his shelter and shelter, I would have become a beggar on the streets or would have frozen to death and starved to death on the streets. ”
Wang Yuan nodded slightly and said, "So you are still grateful to the prince." ”
Li Xin'er nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Wang Yuan smiled and said, "Have you ever thought that the tragedy in your family actually started with the crown prince?" In a way, the tragic death of your parents was also caused by the crown prince? ”
Li Xin'er frowned and shook her head: "I don't want to think about this, and I can't think about it." My Father has his own reasons for doing things, and if I doubt whether my father is doing what is right, it is unfilial. ”
Wang Yuan hummed and said: "It's me who talks too much, but now that you have been exposed, there is no chance to get close to Li Linfu, what should you do?" ”
Li Xin'er said: "The prince must have arrangements, but first I must report the conspiracy of the old thief to the prince as soon as possible, it has been two days, and I can't delay it any longer." So the slave wants to ask you to help with this, the slave is incapacitated, please send this news for me. ”
Wang Yuan frowned and was silent, once he promised her to send this news for her, it would be equivalent to participating in this matter and never being able to take time out. But Wang Yuan thought about it, in fact, it was difficult for him to get out, and since the night he saved Li Xin'er, he fell into this quagmire.
Wang Yuan actually has some small plans in his heart, after coming to Datang, he has been worried about his future, he doesn't want to live as numb as Huang San and thousands of captive Datang Shunmin in front of this fangding. However, there is no good opportunity to change for a while, and the experience accumulated in the mind for more than a thousand years is actually useless in Datang, on the contrary, if you can do it, you may still have to worry about your life.
And now I suddenly know that all this has suddenly narrowed the distance between myself and the Tang Dynasty, this may be an opportunity for me to change my fate, if I do come to the real historical process, this prince Li Heng is the Tang Suzong who will inherit the throne of the Tang Dynasty in the future, that is to say, if nothing else, Li Linfu will not succeed if he wants to overthrow Li Heng's crown prince. If you can participate in it, you are actually hitchhiking, so why not.
Of course, Wang Yuan is not completely sure that the course of history will follow the known path, because in a sense, the Tang Empire he is in is not the real Tang Dynasty, and he should not have appeared here, but he really lives here, which is different.
Just like the originally calm lake, now a small pebble has accidentally fallen, and although the ripples are small, the lake is no longer the water of the lake. Who knows that this small ripple will not alarm a small fish in a lake, which will make a splash and finally make a huge wave in the calm waters of the lake?
But in any case, Wang Yuan decided to help Li Xin'er send this letter, whether it was for Li Xin'er's sake or out of the consideration of the immediate reality, Wang Yuan felt that he should participate in this adventure, he didn't want Li Xin'er to drag his sick body to deliver the letter, and then be captured by Jin Wuwei on the road, and he would definitely be difficult to escape.
"Okay, I'll send this news out for you, but I don't want to get into trouble, so I won't be involved in anything after I send the letter."
"Thank you Second Brother Wang, I will write a letter, early tomorrow morning, please take my letter to the East Market Calligraphy and Painting Street to find a shop called Mo Xiangzhai, in the morning the East Market is not open, you go to the back door and knock on the door knocker, three short and one long twice in a row, someone will come to open the door."
"The person who opened the door will take you to see the shopkeeper Pan of Moxiangzhai, and when you see the shopkeeper Pan, you will ask him, 'How much does that Baqiao smoke willow picture sell for a few dollars?' If he answers, 'The willows of the bridge are like smoke, priceless things, only given to fate.' If the shopkeeper answers, "Money is avoidable, please leave the ink treasure of the destined person." Then you will give him my letter."
Wang Yuan's scalp tingled when he heard this, this is a typical spy joint, he thought that what he said on TV and movies was nonsense, but he knew that as early as the Tang Dynasty, people had already done this.
Needless to say, this Mo Xiangzhai must be an intermediate station between Li Xin'er and the prince, if the prince does this, Li Linfu will do the same, and many other people will do the same. may look like an ordinary shop on the surface, but secretly it may be a spy stronghold; Maybe an ordinary servant may be someone else's eyeliner, it's terrible to think about. The Tang Dynasty is stable and prosperous in the world, and it seems that everything in the world is peaceful, but if you don't know these inside facts, how can you know the cruel facts of the undercurrents surging in the court and pouring against each other.
"Can you write it down? Remember these words, not a word more or less, otherwise you will have to worry about your life. In addition, if there are suspicious people around Moxiangzhai, you can't show up, you have to turn back immediately, and then think of other ways. Li Xin'er solemnly admonished.
Wang Yuan sighed, nodded and said, "Remember, I have a feeling of getting on a thief ship, I hope you won't harm me." You must know that I am your savior, and if you harm your savior, you will be condemned for the rest of your conscience. ”
Li Xin'er sneered and said, "Don't worry, how can I be so conscienceless, I will repay you well after I get better." ”
Wang Yuan squinted at her and teased: "How to repay?" ”
Li Xin'er said: "I have also accumulated a lot of money over the years, I can give you a lot of money, you have read, why don't you continue to read, you may become an official in the future." ”
Wang Yuan shook his head and said: "I can't be an official, it's not bad to give me a sum of money and I will ask for a daughter-in-law." ”
Li Xin'er took a sip and said, "I don't have big ambitions." ”
The two ate something, and Li Xin'er began to write letters. Wang Yuan rummaged through the boxes and cabinets in the house for a while, but did not find half a piece of paper; Li Xin'er was in a hurry and tore off a piece of her light-colored cloth to use as paper. Without pen and ink, he used half-burned fine wood as a pen, wrote with charcoal in front, and wrote a large piece of it full, and after folding, Li Xin'er took out a sachet she was carrying, stuffed the cloth letter inside, and re-sewed it densely.
