When Xiang Ying returned home in the afternoon, Man Yao was pacing back and forth in the house.

Now that the manpower is available, Xiao Ke's poison can also be cured, but it is still difficult to quell the assassination.

The death order issued by the imperial brother to Xiao Xu must kill Ning Qianyi, if this mission fails, even if she can save them this time, but the future is unpredictable. How can he make the imperial brother feel that Xiao Sha has done his best, and the assassination failure is not his fault?

Emperor Lin ordered Fu Chip to investigate the case, and to collect evidence, presumably there were doubts about this matter, how to prevent Fu Chip from grasping Xiao Xu's handle, and not to make Fu Chip fall into the culpability of ineffective work, "At the same time, we must also ensure Ning Qianyi's safety!" She twisted her tangled eyebrows, unable to stretch.

"Master. Xiang Ying came in and called, handed Mo Yu over his shoulders and hands, and said, "The owner of the Wuyin Building asked his subordinates to reply to the master, and the entire people of the Wuyin Building will do their best to obey the master's dispatch." ”

Manxiao returned to his senses and took the fan, held it in his hand, and the thoughts in his heart were surging. Once the prince of the Lintian Kingdom tried all his best to spend a lot of money but couldn't invite the most ordinary killer in Wuyinlou, and she relied on this fan, she could control the entire Wuyinlou at will, should she say that Zongzheng Wuwu believed in her too much or believed in himself too much?

Man Yao took a deep breath, carefully put away his shoulders, and then asked: How is Xiao Ke there? Xiang Ying replied: "Miss Xiao is very happy, saying that the poison on her body can finally be cured, let me thank the master on her behalf."

Man Yao nodded, "Arrange for someone to pick her up in advance on the day of the operation." Let you check the terrain, how did you check? Xiang Ying said: Back to the master, the border from the capital to the Dust Wind Country needs to pass through twenty small cities, and the most suitable place to set up an ambush on this road is Fuyunpo, which is two hundred and thirty miles away from the capital. It is said to be a slope, but it is actually a dangerous valley, where it is surrounded by high mountains on all sides, and there are only two narrow exits on opposite sides, and once someone is ambushed there, it is difficult to stand out and be trapped. The subordinates inquired that someone had already gone there to survey the terrain. ”

"That's probably it." Have there been any bandits in the neighborhood? "Xiang Ying said: 'There is a Lianyun Village near Fuyunpo, where there is a group of robbers, about a few thousand people, all of whom are good at martial arts, robbing wealthy pedestrians and caravans in the past, never caring about the identity of the other party, it is very rampant

"Oh? Then why didn't the imperial court care? "More than 200 miles, not too far from the capital, the imperial court has no reason to ignore it. Xiang Yingdao: In the past few years, the imperial court sent people to suppress it several times, but they were all in vain. The gang was very thieves, and as soon as they heard the movement, they hid in the cottage and did not come out. The terrain of the cottage is very good, easy to defend and difficult to attack, there is a row of strange hidden weapons at the door of the cottage, as long as someone approaches, it will automatically produce poisonous silver needles, and every time you go to encircle and suppress, many people will be killed and injured, and it will become a heart disease of the imperial court. In the following two years, they became cautious, and occasionally came out to commit crimes, but they were all small people in the village, and none of the five masters in the village showed up

Man Yao sat down, leaned slightly, propped her elbows on the armrests of the chair, and put her hands half-clenched into fists against her lips, she lowered her eyes and pondered, and asked, "Do those five masters usually sneak into Beijing?" Is there a fixed place to enter or exit? Or do you have a special preference"" Xiang Ying thought for a while and said: I heard that the four masters are easy to block, and occasionally appear in the city and the peaceful gambling house of Huan, and after gambling money, he will go to the Huihui Teahouse. Hobbies, in addition to robbing gold and silver treasures and beautiful women, there are rumors that the five masters are good men. ”

Man Yao frowned, thought slightly, and said, "Go and check, he will appear in the next few days."

"Yes."

On summer nights, the capital and Huanjie are always lively. There are the largest gambling houses, brothels, restaurants, and teahouses in the capital, and all the entrances are crowded, and dragons and snakes are mixed.

The Convergence Tea House, which is next to the Sample and Gambling House, has long been overcrowded, and people are chatting while drinking tea.

A man with a broadsword and an axe with a long scar on his face cursed. While swaggering in, he shouted loudly: Xiao Er, find a good position by the window for my uncle. ”

Xiao Er was obviously familiar with him, and when he saw him, he stepped forward with a smile and said, "Fourth Master, you are here!" Ouch, it's really not a coincidence today, it's full of people, you see, or the villain will find you a different seat""

"Go, go, Uncle Ben is going to be by the window, you tell them to get out!" The scar man raised the big knife in his hand, the little two were scared, and when he didn't know what to do, the people at the two tables by the window on the left side walked one table, and the shopkeeper was busy leading the scar man over.

At this time, a companion who was discussing at another table next to him instantly caught his attention.

One said, "Have you heard?" The prince of Dustwind will return to Dustwind Kingdom in five days, and His Majesty the Emperor has rewarded him with a lot of rare treasures, if he can also share them with us, we will not have to be foolish for a few lifetimes. ”

Another person said: "What is the treasure, I heard that the real reason why he did not choose a concubine at that flower-viewing banquet was because when he was playing among the people, he fell in love with a very beautiful man, and I heard that the man was more beautiful than a woman!" ”

Another said: "Really? I haven't seen a man who is more beautiful than a woman, so why don't we brothers rob it? Rare treasures, stunning beauties" Let's just take a look, this life is worth it! ”

A person who provoked the conversation slapped him on the shoulder with one hand and said very unceremoniously: Are you crazy? He is the prince of a country, and you dare to make up your mind? Not only does the prince of the dust wind have a lot of guards, but His Majesty the Emperor will definitely send someone to protect him, if you go to rob him, isn't that looking for death? Besides, he has to pass through Fuyunpo on the way back to Chenfeng Country, and Fuyunpo is the territory of Lianyunzhai, you can't rob people with Lianyunzhai, right? Even if it's Lianyunzhai, he has to go out to get sure of success, you, just die of this heart! ”

When the scarred man next to him heard this, a hunter-like excited look appeared in his eyes. This person is the fourth master of Lianyunzhai. It's been a long time since they've done a big job, and this time it's finally enjoyable again. What's wrong with the prince, even the emperor Lao Tzu didn't withdraw from them, what are they afraid of? Rare treasures, stunning beauties, how can they let go easily? But is this news reliable?

At the moment when the man with the scar was hesitating, three people walked down the corridor on the second floor, which instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the entire teahouse. Two men and one woman. One of the men, with an extraordinary atmosphere, looks like an extremely bold masculine man. And the woman next to him looks like a beauty, the scar man was a little stunned, they have robbed a lot of beauties in the past few years, but compared with this woman, it is simply the difference between heaven and earth, cloud and mud. He swallowed another mouthful of saliva, and then looked at the other man among them, and his eyes were straight, obediently, this man was actually better looking than that woman! Don't think about it, this one that makes the scar man look straight is the man who is dressed as a man, and the other two are Ning Qianyi and Shen Yu. The three of them laughed and went down the stairs, and suddenly they didn't step on one foot steadily, and with an exclamation, their whole bodies went downstairs. attracted everyone downstairs to cheer for it.

Ning Qianyi's eyes were quick, he grabbed her hand, and his body went down two steps in a dashing step, and his hand was lifted to her waist, and the man was in his arms. The people downstairs were dumbfounded. Stay, I can't imagine that two men are so good-looking together, I really envy others!

Man Yao was helped by him to stand up straight, and there seemed to be a little fluctuating shyness and embarrassment between his low eyebrows, but he lowered his voice slightly, and said clearly: "Thank you Prince Yi for coming to the rescue!" ”

The scarred man's eyes lit up, and the news was really true!

Ning Qianyi smiled and said, "Where do you and I still need to say a word of thanks!" With that, he squeezed her hand, and anyone could see the meaning in that look.

Man Yao glanced at the scarred man out of the corner of his eye, only to see that his eyes were radiating a greedy light, and he was almost drooling. Man Yao hooked his lips slightly, the goal had been achieved, and he went out of the Convergence Teahouse with Ning Qianyi and Shen Yu.

"Liyue, you've told people that there are many guards who will protect the Prince, and you're saying that the consequences are so serious, are you sure those people would dare to take the risk?" After they came to the Moon Tea Garden, Shen Yu asked first.

Manyao said: Yes, they have not encountered challenges for too long, they have been cautious for a few years, the people in the village can not live as happily as before, over time, there will be many complaints, and the court has not made great efforts to eradicate the encirclement and suppression in the past two years, so they have no external pressure, the head of the house is only cautious for prevention, the people in the village will feel that their boss has become less courageous, and some people will not be convinced, and then there will be incidents. And the big boss must be waiting for an opportunity to reassert his prestige, so he will definitely not let go of this opportunity. "It's a kind of psychology, and it's also a natural law.

Ning Qianyi nodded appreciatively, "Liyue is really delicate!" I also think that they will definitely come.

Man Yao frowned, and said worriedly, "The strength of Lianyunzhai should not be underestimated, although we have a careful layout, you still have a certain danger. ”

Shen Yu said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, there are people in the hidden building in front, and the people of General Wei are behind, even if the people in Yunzhai are out of the nest, they will hit the stone with eggs." ”

Man Yao smiled lightly, hopefully.

Out of the tea garden, before she broke up with Ning Qianyi, Ning Qianyi gave her a piece of purple jade and said to her, "If you need me in the future, let someone take this piece of purple jade to the Dust Wind Country to find me." Again, whatever I need to do, just say it.

Manyao was moved in his heart and said: Thank you, Qianyi. ”

Ning Qianyi sighed, his hearty smile was stained with bitterness, and he said: I don't need your thanks, I just hope that "you can remember me." It's enough that you'll still remember who I am when I raise my glass to the moon and miss you many years later. ”

looked at Ning Qianyi's dashing back, and said silently in his heart: I will remember you. Although she didn't know how long such an unreciprocated love would last in the heart of a king in the future, whether the toast to the moon that he said would really exist after many years, none of this mattered to her, the important thing was that Ning Qianyi's feelings were a single wonton love that she had harvested! It warmed her heart. He knows not to fight for his own wishful thinking, he will take into account her wishes.

Five days later, Ning Qianyi left the capital under the farewell of the prince and his ministers, and it was not suitable to send him far away as a man, so she asked Shen Yu to dress up as she was that day, and waited for Ning Qianyi outside the city to implement her plan.

On that day, the air was extremely hot and stuffy, and the sky was overcast, as if it was going to rain, but it never fell, which made people feel extremely depressed and bored.

On that day, Fuyunpo, ambush in all directions, wind and clouds surged.

Manyao is in the General's Mansion, but his heart is always concerned about everything in Fuyunpo. She knew that Xiao Sha would be ambushed there, because although it was dangerous, it was the last place where she could carry out her mission. Even if he expected that Fu Chip would have someone there waiting for him, he still had to go. What she has to do is to stop Xiao Sha's actions and not let the royal brother borrow. Deal with Xiao Sha, because he did his best. Xiang Ying and the people from Wuyinlou will pretend to be the black-clothed people in Qingliang Lake that day, and lead Fu Chip to appear, so that Xiao Xiao can see that there is a huge difference in strength, and there is no hope of assassination, so he will naturally retreat. And as long as Fu Chip takes this opportunity to annihilate Lianyunzhai and the gang and remove a piece of the imperial court's heart, Emperor Lin will not only not blame him, but will also give a reward.

That's her plan. As the saying goes, there is always a mistake in Baimi, and she doesn't know if this plan can be a complete success.

Walking back and forth in the house, the more uneasy and irritable her heart became, she walked out of the yard, and there was no Ling'er, so she went to the hut where Ling'er lived. In this plan, she didn't let Ling'er participate, but she didn't deliberately hide it from Ling'er.

In the simply furnished room, Ling'er stood in front of the window, holding a pigeon in one hand and a piece of paper tea in the other, she had maintained this posture for a long time.

I was struggling and didn't know what to do. Once shaken, should she pass on these news to the emperor? She hesitated again and again, and slowly tied the note in her hand to the pigeon's feet, and her heart was very heavy. Letting go of her hand, the pigeon flapped its wings and flew up, and her eyes suddenly flashed in front of her master's desolate eyes, as well as the words that had been said to her: "Even you can't believe it, I really don't know, in this world, who else is worthy of my trust?" Her heart tightened, and she instinctively reached out and grabbed the white dove's tail, bit her lip to untie the paper, and then tore it quickly. She looked at the white fragments floating out of the window, tears appeared in her eyes, and she murmured in a low voice: I'm sorry, Emperor. I'm not sure if everything you're talking about is really good for the master? ”

'Thank you, Ling'er. Slowly entered the house, watched her hesitate and struggle, watched her let go of the white dove and pulled it back.

Ling'er turned around in shock, and saw Manyao looking at her with a smile behind her, and the tears in her eyes suddenly rolled down. She knelt straight down in place, and after more than a year of ventilating the news, she always thought that it was the master's good, but after the incident of Qinglianghu, she began to think a little more, and began to waver a little. Then she realized that her actions might be unigod's unfaithfulness. So, she began to feel uneasy and uneasy.

Manyao walked over to her, smiled faintly and reached out to pull her up, "Silly Ling'er, what are you crying about?" Get up.

Ling'er's tears fell even more fiercely, hugged her legs, and cried. She said, 'Master, I'm afraid, I'm really afraid.' ”

Man Yao also followed her movements, only gently stroked her head with his hand, and asked softly: , What are you afraid of? ”

"I'm afraid that what the emperor said to me before is false, I'm afraid that I think it's good for the master, but it's actually harming the master, I'm really afraid" Ling'er cried helplessly, like a child.

Manyao's heart softened, "Silly girl, I don't blame you. "She suddenly didn't want anything to ask of them, she couldn't give them anything. This Xiao Sha incident has made her understand that they are originally the emperor's brother's people, and it is natural for them to do things for the emperor's brother, and it is good to be able to take care of her while carrying out the task. The reason why Xiao Ke was poisoned to control Xiao Sha was because Xiao Sha was no longer controlled by the imperial brother, so there was such a hopeless assassination, the imperial brother, he wanted Xiao Sha to die! If she can't protect them, then why should she demand their loyalty? If the price of her loyalty was their lives, then she would rather not be loyal to them! That's all, that's it.

Helping Ling'er up, she shook her head at Ling'er, and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, even if there is something wrong with him, he is still my imperial brother."

The sky was getting darker, and the sky seemed to be splashed with a thick layer of ink.

Man Yao and Xiang Ying didn't wait, and finally waited back for Fu Chip. His dark cyan robe was clean, without a trace of blood, and his head was neat, not a little messy, not as if he had returned from the fighting arena, but more like he had just returned from a tour of the fighting arena. She was slightly stunned, a little unsure in her heart.

Fu Chip's gentle expression was mixed with a touch of complexity, and after entering the room, he sat down on the stool in front of her, poured a glass of water casually, and took a sip. He looked up at her deeply and said, 'Your plan is good. All aspects were "very well taken care of. ”

Stunned, Fu Chip laughed at himself again: "Thank you for taking care of me in the plan and giving me a Lianyun Village, so that I can communicate with Your Majesty." Lianyunzhai harbored the spies of the Beiyi Kingdom, attempted to assassinate the prince of the Dusty Wind, and provoked a war between the two countries in order to regain the territory of the Beiyi Kingdom", this reason seems to be very good! Rong Le, you are really my virtuous helper.

Manyao's face turned pale, and he turned his face away from him.

Fu Chip kept looking at her eyes, looking at the unknown emotions she hid under her thick eyelashes, and after half a sound, he sighed lightly and said again: The killers of Wuyinlou are really skilled, and they are all one against ten. But Rong Le, why would you rather accept Zongzheng's help than open this with me? I am your husband! I want to keep Xiao Sha, but I'm just waiting for your words! I don't believe you don't know! In order not to owe me a favor, you would rather spend so much money. But have you ever known that Fuyunpo is ambushed for ten miles", Xiao Sha, even if he doesn't show up, can he escape? ”

Man Yao raised his eyes to him in shock, ten miles of ambush? It turned out that he had already planned to take this opportunity to exterminate Lianyunzhai. She didn't expect it, she pursed her lips and asked hesitantly, "That..."

"Since I'm sure it's your person, I naturally won't touch him." Fu Chip's expression returned to his usual gentleness, he drank tea elegantly, raised his eyelids, looked at Manyao, and said, "However, only this time." If there is a next time, I can't guarantee it. I have my position and position, and it is one thing for me to have an alliance with Emperor Qiyun, but if he wants to provoke a war between us and the Dust Wind Country without authorization, I will not allow it. Rong Le, I hope you understand! ”

"I understand," Man Yao nodded, sat down slowly across from him, and thanked him with a sincere smile: Thank you, Ah Chip. "Call his name once, those years of getting along day and night can always leave something, in addition to utilization, in addition to love, she can give him back, she can only do her best.

Fu Chip's hand trembled, and a few drops of water overflowed from the cup, but it was just a salutation, but he couldn't help but think wildly as if he had waited for several lifetimes, and his heart fluctuated like a tide. He looked at him in surprise, and after a while, he put down the water glass and went to shake her hand, all the tenderness was in the palm of his hand, and he smiled softly: In the future, just call me that, I like to hear it.

Man Yao nodded and smiled lightly: "Okay."

I saw Xiao Sha on the evening of the second day. Man Yao was really taken aback at the time, he hadn't seen him for many days, and he was haggard like that.

"Xiao is ashamed of his master! If you don't have the face to stay by your master's side, please ask your master Rong Xiaoxu to do one thing first, and then apologize with death! Xiao Xiao knelt in the center of the room and bowed respectfully.

Man Yao sighed, "Get up." Shi Liwu called out, "Ke'er, you can come out." As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Ke hurriedly ran out of the house and happily called out to her brother.

Xiao was taken aback, "Ke'er, why are you here?" ”

"Sister Princess asked me to pick me up, and Sister Princess said that I would never have to go back to that place in the future. Ah, and there's more..., brother, the poison in my body has been cured, and it was the princess's sister who helped me find the 'Seven Absolute Grasses,'. Xiao Ke laughed very happily, and jumped to Manyao's side as he spoke, holding Manyao's arm with both hands, which looked very intimate.

Xiao Xiao looked at Manyao in shock, speechless for a long time. He thought that the master would blame him, but he didn't expect that she had been secretly helping him. At this moment, the shock and gratitude in his heart are beyond words, and it is not his style for a big man's mother-in-law, Xiao Xu once again kowtowed to her respectfully. The master's great kindness, Xiao Sha can't be repaid! ”

Man Yao smiled faintly: "Ke'er, go and help your brother up." Seeing that he has lost weight like that, you can prescribe a prescription to help him recuperate. Xiao Sha, your life is mine in the future, take care of yourself. ”

"Yes. Master. ”

"Go down, all of you." Manyao exhaled heavily, this matter has finally come to an end, can she be quiet for a few days?

"Master, master," she was just about to rest for a while, when Ling'er in the garden trotted all the way

Manyao had a bad premonition, frowned and asked what was the matter? ”

Ling Er unfolded the letter she received in her hand, "The emperor is coming to see you!" It is said that he came to participate in the autumn hunt at the invitation of the Emperor. ”

Manyao's brain boomed, she wanted to be quiet and quiet, why was it so difficult?

There are thousands of red faces and white pains
