Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Old Grace Is Unforgettable
"I didn't expect your injuries to recover so quickly? Why did you come to this Wangwu Mountain Spiritual Capital Temple? Lai Xing'er vaguely guessed that Na Yu was anxious to get along with him alone, mostly for the sake of the scholar lying outside the courtyard gate. He didn't want to talk about the scholar too soon when he didn't know what Na Yu was holding, so as soon as he entered the door, he preemptively asked Na Yu what he wanted to know most.
Na Yu felt relieved when she heard Xing'er repeatedly ask about her injuries and whereabouts, but her face did not show it, but her face tightened, and she replied sarcastically: "That's not what you have given you?" I knew that you were protecting that old gelding, and that I shouldn't have taken you out when I was in some cities. Now, the little eunuch has become a general with soldiers, is it that the favor that the old gelding dog specially sold before he died has played a role? ”
Lai Xing'er has been thinking about the cause of Li Jinzhong's death repeatedly these days, and has come to the conclusion that Li Jinzhong's death has a great relationship with the emperor, and now listening to Nayu's words, he also has this meaning, and he can't help but ask directly: "The events of that night, I still can't regret it, I regret that I shouldn't have hurt you by mistake...... However, listening to what you mean, is the death of the Duke of Jin ......? ”
Na Yu waved his hand again and again: "I didn't say anything, you guess." It's just that I'm a little wondering, why the two sergeants who were guarding outside the Yulin Guard prison the day before the incident were so easily knocked down by me? In the study of the Jin State Mansion, the last person to appear and take the head of the old gelding dog was a palace man who came to deliver the decree that day? When you think about it like this, the ins and outs of the matter are naturally much clearer. ”
As soon as Na Yu helped him solve the confusion in his heart, Lai Xing'er realized why Li Jinzhong must have said that he killed him before he died, and why did the emperor avoid talking about Li Jinzhong's death when he summoned him in Yanying Palace, but instead gave himself a marriage and a reward, it turned out that the emperor personally sent someone to ask for Li Jinzhong's life!
Although he had vaguely guessed the truth of this matter for many days, once what he and Na Yu said were mutually confirmed, Lai Xing'er couldn't help but be shocked that a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"That night, was the masked assassin who took you away from the Jin Mansion?" Lai Xing'er recalled that the three assassins who appeared in the Jin State Mansion that night most likely just happened to run into one place, and couldn't help but guess and asked.
Nayu didn't want to waste effort on this topic, nodded silently, and then pulled the words back to his eyes.
"Is the man lying outside the door your captive? What are you going to do with him? ”
"He was in Songtai Village at the foot of the mountain when we accidentally bumped into a villager's house, and when he saw that we were going to arrest him, he was so frightened that he fell ill. In order to save his life, we had to carry him up the mountain and ask the fairy aunt to treat him......" Lai Xing'er saw that Nayu was asking urgently, so he replied half-truthfully.
Na Yu's face was full of disbelief, and blurted out a question: "Just a few of you, can you scare him?" As soon as the words came out, he immediately realized that he had missed his mouth, and suddenly stopped, looking at Lai Xing'er uneasily.
"Did you just tell him who he was outside the courtyard gate? Now there are only you and me in the room, why don't you directly explain that he is Li Shu, the king of Ying? A smile appeared on Lai Xing'er's face, and she stared at Nayu and asked.
Na Yu instantly regained her composure, she heard that Xing'er had broken the matter, and she no longer intended to avoid covering it up, so she opened her mouth and said, "Yes, he is the prince of my family." If I begged you to let him live, would you say yes? ”
Lai Xing'er had expected that Na Yu would sympathize with King Ying, but she didn't expect her to let him go by herself, and she couldn't make up her mind for a while, so she hesitated and replied: "Didn't we say okay that night, since Li Shu has defected to the rebels, you will no longer defect to him, why do you want to regret it now?" ”
"Are you afraid that if you release the court privately, you will lose your head? Or do you expect to escort His Royal Highness to Chang'an, so that he can be rewarded for his merits and be promoted to the rank of knight? Na Yu didn't show any affection for Lai Xing'er, and stabbed fiercely, "If it were you, the whole family had been greatly favored, and now when you see the benefactor's son in trouble, will you stand by and watch and not save you when you die?" ”
"You, you know I'm not that kind of person." In an instant, Lai Xing'er felt that he was in a hole today, first he was sneered at by his sergeants, and then he was ridiculed by Nayu, and he couldn't argue in his eagerness. After all, Li Shu, the king of Ying, is one of the best leaders of the rebels after his death, and it is not easy to catch him, if he is caught and released, he really doesn't dare to predict what the consequences will be.
"That's good. I don't embarrass you, as long as you are willing to promise to let my prince live, what to do after a while, I have my own measure, and I will never cause you trouble. Seeing that Lai Xing'er did not refuse his request, Na Yu hurriedly persuaded while the iron was hot.
"But, it's hard to say if he can survive now!" Lai Xing'er remembered that he was still holding the bottle of Suhe Xiang Pill handed to him by the fairy aunt in his hand, so he wanted to find an excuse to go out so that he could calm down, and think about what to do about this matter, "It's time to feed him medicine again, you see?" ”
"Is there anyone outside the house?" Na Yu seemed to see through Lai Xing'er's mind at a glance, and since she had already told Lai Xing'er that it was Li Shu, the king of Ying, who was lying outside the door, she refused to let him go, and raised her voice and shouted.
The girl walked in.
Na Yu snatched the bottle of Suhexiang Pill from Lai Xing'er's hand, handed it to the female Taoist boy, and pleaded with a smile: "Is it okay for my sister to do my sister another favor?" You take this bottle of medicine, go to the hospital gate and stand by the patient's side, every ......" said, and look at Lai Xing'er.
"Half an hour, half an hour to feed him a pill, and to probe his breath from time to time." Lai Xing'er had no choice but to tell the female Taoist boy as the fairy aunt ordered.
"Don't worry. This sister of mine can be regarded as half of the beginner disciple of Sister Tengkong, and with her by her side, she is always ten times stronger than you. Nayu smiled and pushed the female Taoist out of the dormitory.
"Sister Vacate? You mean that the name of the fairy girl who hangs the pot to help the world is called Tengkong, what a special name. Lai Xing'er used his housekeeping skills again, deliberately pulling things around and delaying time.
Na Yu had seen King Ying lying on the ground unconscious before, and heard Xing'er say that even if the fairy Gu made a move, it might not be able to save his life. (To be continued.) )
