Chapter Eighty-Four: Re-entry into Yeon-yeong
Lai Xing'er was held hostage by Xin Twelve Niang and came to the Great Ci'en Temple in the south of the city, and never thought that he would see Wu Bi in the wing room of the Sanzang Master Academy. At the same time, Wu Bi also recognized Lai Xing'er, he didn't say a word to Lai Xing'er, turned around and retreated outside the wing, and told his subordinates guarding the door to take good care of the kid in the room, and no one was allowed to approach him without his own order.
Lai Xing'er was once again locked in a prison cell, although it had been nearly three watches, but he was not sleepy at all. What happened in the small study across the courtyard of the Jin State Mansion not long ago strongly stimulated his brain: how could Na Yu suddenly sneak into Li Jinzhong's mansion and assassinate him? Could it be that the tall woman who kidnapped herself here was instructed by Wu Bi to assassinate Li Jinzhong, looking at her skills, it seems that she is far beyond Na Yu's ability, what kind of identity will she be? That mysterious masked man is obviously not the same as Nayu and the tall woman, who is he? He was obviously saving him, but why did Li Jinzhong rely on his murderer alone before he died?
What especially made Lai Xing'er feel remorse and great concern was that in order to save Li Jinzhong, she accidentally bumped into Nayu, and I don't know what happened to her at the moment? If she has three longs and two shorts because of this, how can she bear to live alone in this world?
As soon as she thought of Nayu, Lai Xing'er couldn't suppress the impulse in her heart anymore, jumped up and rushed to the door, slammed the door with her fist, and shouted out of the door: "I want to go out, I want to see General Wu." ”
The person in charge of guarding him outside the door had scolded him twice before, until he was annoyed by his incessant shouting, so he simply hid in a distant place and ignored Lai Xing'er.
In this way, I don't know how many days have passed, these days, although Lai Xing'er took advantage of the opportunity of someone to bring him food, he tried to break out more than once, so as to leave this ghost place as soon as possible to find Nayu and treat her injuries, but every time he was ruthlessly blocked back. The guards seem to have been ordered: they are not allowed to treat Lai Xing'er badly. Although Lai Xing'er tried to break out of the house again and again, they only silently blocked Lai Xing'er's way, and they did not speak ill of Lai Xing'er, nor did they fight each other. Only in this way, after many unsuccessful attempts, Lai Xing'er was completely desperate: he didn't know how long he would be locked up here by Wu Bi, and he couldn't predict what he would face.
However, things in the world are often like this, when you are stuck in the quagmire of despair and unable to extricate yourself, opportunities and hopes will suddenly one day come unexpectedly, opening a window to another world for you.
Lai Xing'er himself couldn't count how many evenings this was the first time he had been detained by Wu Bi again, and two black-clothed men suddenly broke into the door, broke into the room, and couldn't help but say, quickly put a skin bag with a strong smell on his head, and walked out one by one.
Lai Xing'er was unprepared, his head was tightly covered by the skin, and the fishy smell of the thick animal fur in the skin bag choked him almost out of breath, and when he tried to break free from the other party's support, he felt powerless, so he had to be at their mercy.
After a long time, when the stinky skin bag that was buckled on Lai Xing'er's head was removed, he rubbed his sore and swollen eyes, and looked intently at everything around him: Isn't this the Yanying Hall that he is all too familiar with? Those two black-clothed men actually brought themselves into the Daming Palace?
"Now that the calamity in the palace is gone, I mean that my uncle no longer needs to camp in this Yanying Courtyard and stay in the tent, all the sergeants will withdraw from the Yanying Palace tomorrow, but the camp tents built will not be demolished for the time being, I want to use these dozen tents to set up an inner privy council, in charge of secrets, Wang Bao'er, the first privy envoy will be filled by you for the time being, according to the example of Yanying's book, eat seven products."
Lai Xing'er followed the sound and looked into the hall, only to see the emperor sitting in the middle, Wu Bi and Shang Jing sitting on the left and right under the stairs, Wang Bao'er bowed and stood beside the emperor, except for this, there was no one else in the hall.
Seeing that Shang Jing had escaped from Luo and returned to Chang'an, Lai Xing'er was both surprised and happy, and repeatedly signaled to Shang Jing with his eyes, hoping to greet him in this way, but Shang Jing was full of thoughts on the emperor, and he didn't notice that Lai Xing'er had come to Yanying Palace.
When he returned to work and stand, he saw Lai Xing'er standing at the entrance of the hall, so he reminded the emperor in a low voice: "Master, Lai Xing'er is here." ”
Wu Bi also found Lai Xing'er, and ordered in a deep voice: "Don't you hurry up and enter the palace to knock and see long live!" ”
Lai Xing'er thought that after his identity as a fake eunuch was exposed, he would never enter the Daming Palace again, let alone see the emperor, but he expected that after being re-imprisoned by Wu Bi for many days, he would be able to re-enter the Daming Palace to meet the emperor. He complied with the order and rushed forward, knelt down in front of the steps, and kowtowed to the emperor three times and said, "The soldiers come to Xing'er to knock on the saint." ”
"Hmm, come to Xing'er, are you guilty?"
The emperor heard Wu Bi say that Xing'er would be imprisoned in the Great Ci'en Temple in the south of the city in the future, obviously he didn't expect him to come so quickly, so he put aside other words and gave Lai Xing'er a dismount first.
Lai Xing'er crawled in front of the steps, heard this, mistakenly thought that the emperor was referring to the death of Li Jinzhong, raised his head and was about to distinguish the two sentences, so he heard Wu Bi, who was sitting next to him, follow the emperor's words and asked himself: "After so many years, I have been lucky to let you wander in the palace, and the emperor is kind-hearted, so it is just a matter of not investigating your charges of deceitful to the king." Don't you know that you were originally a guilty body? ”
The day after Li Jinzhong was killed, Wu Bi relayed Xin Shiniang's words to the emperor: Li Jinzhong died at the hands of Lai Xing'er.
He knew that the emperor had taken Lai Xing'er very seriously, if it weren't for Lai Xing'er's bizarre disappearance on the day he returned to Chang'an from Luo, and then immediately after exposing the identity of the imposter eunuch, which completely angered the emperor, so that he caused a big disaster for himself, he was very likely to replace the current Wang Bao'er and become the first eunuch promoted by the emperor after ascending to the pole.
And Wu Bi himself has always had a good impression of Lai Xing'er, especially this time he sent Xing'er to Li Jinzhong's side by mistake, but Lai Xing'er eventually became a strange soldier who took Li Jinzhong's life, and helped Wu Bi a lot, out of gratitude in his heart, Wu Bi intended to try his best to speak for Lai Xing'er in front of the emperor, and wanted to take this opportunity to completely clear the charge of deception for Lai Xing'er, hoping that the emperor could give him a good future.
"The guilt of the little one cannot be argued. However, the emperor had pardoned the little immortal more than a month ago, and Xu Xiao joined the forbidden army and became a soldier. If the emperor still wants to give the little one a death today, the little one begs the emperor, please allow me to die on the battlefield, and it is not in vain that the little one comes to this world as a five-foot man. ”
Lai Xing'er was detained for many days for no reason, and his heart was already full of grievances, and as soon as he entered the hall, he was questioned by the emperor and Wu Bi one after another, and he was even more resentful, so he replied angrily. (To be continued.) )
