86 Wu's death
The bluestone is about a few zhang high, the white texture hidden under the surface of the stone is clearly recognizable, in the middle is a graceful figure of a lady, the outline is lifelike, there is a curved line below like a long and rushing river, the lady behind the layers or round or square stretches into a piece of very much like a lotus leaf to the sky, such a dynamic Xizi Huansha picture, as if thousands of years ago, a certain Danqing master who inadvertently glanced at the sky, hid the moment of amazement on this stone.
"Ah Li, your dad is stupid, you know? He didn't know that it was not an ordinary Taihu stone, it was a superb jade exquisite. As long as you burn a pot of incense at the bottom of the stone, the incense will drill out of the holes in the stone, and after a while, you will find that the incense smoke is swirling, and the smoke is dense all around, as if you are in a fairyland. At this time, if you pour a pot of water from the top of the stone, you will be surprised to find that the hole spring flows, the smoke disappears, and the beauty under the stone that has been watered seems to come to life, as if it is really by the stream......
Yan Li stood in front of the Taihu Lake Stone that had been talked about countless times by his mother, the bright moonlight gently and softly sprinkled on him, and the shallow light reflected the black silver threads on his body, with a layer of blurred light, making him like the stone in front of him that his mother would never forget, full of mystery.
"Mother, is it really like you say? As long as you light a furnace of incense, the incense will escape from all the holes, making people feel like they are in a fairyland? Pour another pot of water, and the smoke will disappear, and you can enjoy the beauty under the moon......"
The corners of his lips curled up a shallow arc, and his deep eyes drooped slightly, falling on the cloisonnΓ© enamel beast ear stove of the red sandalwood seat under the stone. Taking out the fire fold on his body, he was about to light the incense, when suddenly a slight cat's step sounded in his ears. If it weren't for the fact that his hearing was different from ordinary people, he wouldn't have noticed. But just a moment, he still lit the incense burner under the stone
Soon, the incense in the incense burner overflowed from the holes in the stone cave, and in a moment, like the wet mist in the morning, he was wrapped in it, fluttering and looming, as if he was in the painting of the water and moon in the south of the Yangtze River.
He didn't have a pot of water ready, so he couldn't see the smoke disappear and the beauty came to life as if it were coming to life. But he doesn't regret it either. Just as he looked at the smoke and was about to turn away, a kitten-like exclamation suddenly sounded behind him.
"Ah...... Who are you? How did you end up here? β
The voice is panicked, but it is difficult to hide the sweetness, revealing a kind of coquettishness in the bones, but this kind of coquettishness is difficult to make people feel disgusted. On the contrary, it makes people feel the urge to look at people when they listen to the sound!
Yan Li couldn't help frowning, he obviously heard the sound of footsteps just now not coming towards him, how could it be that in the blink of an eye, people not only came to him, but they were only a few steps away from him!
It's just that before Yan Li could figure it out, the girl's voice sounded in surprise again.
"Hey, how do you know that this Taihu Lake stone is a rare jade exquisite?"
Yan Li's frowning eyebrows were stunned.
He remembered that his mother said that when this stone was presented by the local government, even his father did not know the beauty of this stone, only that it was very precious, and no one knew where it was precious! She also proudly told him, Li'er, your father always thought that the reason why the stone was precious was because of the beautiful picture! That's stupid, I won't sue him! Let him carry the pearl as a fish.
But the people behind him can explain in a word, this is a piece of jade!
Yan Li, who was originally going to turn around and leave, subconsciously turned around to look at the comer.
When he turned around, he couldn't help but be stunned.
On the other side, the girl was only thirteen or fourteen years old, her face was crystal clear, her skin was as bright as snow, there was a small dimple on her goose egg face, her eyes were full of water, and her expression was slightly shy.
At this moment, he was looking at it with slightly surprised eyes, and at first glance he faced Yan Li, a shallow flush bloomed on his white porcelain face, and a pair of watery eyes became more and more shy and timid, but he subconsciously pretended to be gentle and calm.
After a glance, Yan Li wanted to turn around and leave.
When the girl saw that he was leaving, she couldn't help but ask, "Are you leaving?" β
Yan took a pause and looked back at the girl.
"I, I'm ......" The girl didn't seem to expect Yan Li to stop and look at her, and under great joy, she hurriedly said: "My name is Linglong, and I am on an errand in Yiqiu Palace, what about you?" Who are you? β
Yan Li tugged at the corners of his mouth, he stopped, not to sue her, who is he!
Nodding faintly, Yan Li turned around and was about to leave, but at this moment, a burst of scolding suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Quick, go and see, it's smoking over there......"
Immediately after, there was the sound of neatly lined steps running towards this direction.
Yan Li frowned.
He is not afraid of alarming the guards in this palace, after all, there is no place in the inner courtyard of this palace that he is not familiar with! It's just that...... Yan Li's gaze fell on the pale girl.
"You said you were on an errand in Yiqiu Palace?"
Linglong was stunned at first, but after she came to her senses, she quickly nodded, "Yes, my master is Li Zhaoyi, the mother of King Duan." β
Duanwang?
Yan Li's deep eyes narrowed slightly, and a look of confusion flashed on Qingjun's face.
Compared to his familiarity with this palace, many people in this palace actually don't know that well.
Just like Linglong said about this Duan Wang, and Duan Wang's mother, Li Zhaoyi.
The sound of the guard's steps became clearer and clearer, the expression on Linglong's face became whiter and whiter, and she looked at Yan Li with pleading eyes, "Let's hide, if I let Niangniang know, I ran out secretly, she will punish me." β
Yan Li looked at Linglong, and then at the majestic and beautiful imperial garden behind him in the night.
He has a thousand ways to hide without being discovered, but ......
Seeing the guards getting closer and closer, Linglong's pair of eyes were already faintly glowing with water.
"You ......"
But just as she finished speaking, she suddenly felt that her body was light, and the next moment, the person flew up like a kite, and she bit her lip so that she didn't let out a panicked scream.
It was only until she hid in the tree with lush branches that had been beaten in the past that she and her sisters had come to make cakes and eat in the spring of this year, and she didn't understand how that person didn't even touch her and sent her up the tree!
It's just that when she saw the guards coming this way, she didn't dare to breathe, her eyes stared at the guards coming and going under the tree from time to time, and from time to time she looked up at Yan Li above.
The moonlight shines through the gap between the leaves and falls on Yan Li's body, as if shining on a layer of glazed old kiln porcelain, as smooth as jade, graceful and noble!
For a moment, Linglong felt as if her breathing had stopped.
"What's going on?"
A waiter in green clothes hurriedly walked over here.
"Father-in-law, someone is lighting incense under this stone." The guard said to the chamberlain.
The chamberlain stepped forward, examined it carefully, and shouted quite majestically: "Search carefully, in case someone is confusing the public, intended to be unfavorable to the saint, watch your heads!" β
"Yes, father-in-law."
The guards did not dare to be careless, and immediately dispersed and searched everywhere.
Someone carried a lantern to the bottom of the tree, held up the lantern to search, Linglong was so frightened that her body trembled, if it wasn't for a strong wind crashing on her, she almost fell off the tree.
The guards searched for more than half an hour, but when they saw no result, they dispersed.
Even so, I left a few of them and continued to search.
Linglong looked at the guards who had been left behind under the tree, and was so anxious that she almost cried.
She sneaked out, in case Zhaoyi Niangniang couldn't find her...... She trembled and looked at Yan Li above her head.
"Childe."
Yan Li lowered his eyes and looked at Linglong.
Linglong swallowed her dry throat and asked in a trembling voice, "Can you send me to a place where they can't find me, as you did just now?" β
Yan Li raised his eyebrows, and his eyes faintly glanced at the guards under the tree who were scattered around again.
"I, I ran out secretly, in case Zhaoyi Niangniang finds out, I will be punished." As he spoke, his eyes turned red.
Yan Li's eyes drooped slightly, falling on the delicate eyebrows and eyes that were faintly illuminated by a little moonlight. A sentence suddenly sounded in my mind: "Ah Li, you remember, don't trust beautiful women, the more beautiful women are, the more deceitful they are." β
He couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips and gave himself a three-point ridicule and a seven-point helpless smile.
Why did he suddenly remember this?
"You stay here and don't move." Yan Li said to Linglong, who looked at him.
Linglong looked puzzled.
Yan Li didn't explain to her, but quietly left the big tree where they were hiding like a leaf. The body flashed between the guards like a ghost, and Linglong saw that the guards froze in place as if they were frozen. Immediately afterward, she saw Yan Li make a gesture of descending the tree towards her.
Trees that are so tall...... Linglong's face turned white, she didn't dare to jump, if she jumped without losing her life, she would have to break her hands and feet! She looked up at Yan Li, and seeing that Yan Li didn't plan to come forward to help, she gritted her teeth, picked up the hem of her skirt and stuffed it into her mouth, holding the tree with both hands, and half-climbed and half-rolled down the tree.
When she got to the bottom of the tree, she didn't wait for her breath when she was horrified to find that the guards were moving again as if they had taken a nap. Linglong didn't care about the hot pain in her hands, and hurriedly walked towards the hand-copying verandah in the distance, as long as she was on the hand-copying verandah, she was not afraid.
"Who?"
A loud shout rang out behind him.
Linglong's body stiffened, and she didn't want to let go of her feet and ran forward.
"Stop!"
The guard's voice sounded in his ears like thunder, and in a few steps he caught up with Linglong, who was out of breath.
"Stop, if you run again, I'll let you shoot arrows!"
Linglong paused, trembling and looking back at the guards behind her.
The guard held the lantern and recognized that Linglong was a palace maid, and shouted unhappily.
"Which palace are you from? I don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing here? β
"I, I'm ......" Linglong looked at the fierce guard with a white face, as if she remembered something, and looked up behind the guard.
Under the majestic night, where is the shadow of Yanli!
Seeing that Linglong did not answer the question, but looked behind them, the guard suddenly became alert, glared at Linglong and asked, "You lit the incense burner under the stone?" β
"No...... It's me. β
"Is it you?" The guard shouted impatiently.
"Yes, it's me." Linglong's face turned white, and she said with trembling lips: "I heard the old man in the palace say that it is a precious Taihu stone, so I want to try it." β
"Try what!" When the guard heard this, his heart suddenly became angry, and he shouted: "Which palace are you from, didn't your master sue you?" This palace is not your garden, you can do whatever you want! β
Linglong hung her head, half a sound, gritted her teeth, took off a gold bracelet that had only been worn for a long time in her hand, and handed it over, "Brother Guard, I really didn't mean it, I am from Wujin, and my family was in the stone business before entering the palace, I, I am ......" said with tears in his eyes, and sobbed: "I just feel homesick, thinking, thinking, I don't know how I went there." β
The hero is sad to pass the beauty level. Not to mention just a few ordinary guards!
Seeing that Linglong's eyes were red, Chu Chu looked at a few people pitifully, and after a little hesitation, the guards said, "Okay, you go, don't do such a thing in the future." β
"Thank you, thank you, big brothers."
Linglong bent his knees and bowed, and thanked him one by one.
The guards dispersed, Linglong stood in place, tiptoed around, saw that the night was getting darker and darker, she pursed her lips, turned around and walked towards Yiqiu Palace three times in turn.
Like a pebble falling into a large lake, after a slight ripple, the night regained its previous calm.
The cornices are curled, and the figure on the golden and emerald green glazed tiles disappears with the gradual blur of the night after Linglong leaves.
Yiqiu Palace.
Linglong evaded the palace guards and tiptoed back to her room, before changing her clothes, and a warm voice sounded outside the door.
"Linglong, are you in the house?"
It was Tang Xiuzhu, the steward of Yiqiu Palace, Aunt Tang, Linglong didn't dare to be sloppy, and hurriedly put on her clothes and opened the door to welcome her out, "Auntie, you're here." β
Like most palace people, Tang Xiuzhu's delicate facial features have already engraved the vicissitudes of time in the inner courtyard of this deep palace, and there is a demeanor between her eyebrows and eyes that is not angry and self-assured.
Linglong stood to the side with her eyebrows lowered and lowered her eyes, thinking about whether to tell Aunt Tang what happened tonight, otherwise, she would blame Niangniang for going back, but she didn't even have someone to help her speak!
After hesitating, Tang Xiuzhu had already opened her mouth and asked: "Shicai Niangniang wanted to ask you for questions, and sent Ruyi to find you, but Ruyi said that you were not in the house, what is going on?" β
"Back to my aunt's words, the slave maid heard that there was a Taihu stone in the imperial garden, and she couldn't sleep at night, so she went to see the Taihu stone." Linglong said softly.
Tang Xiuzhu raised her eyebrows, her eyes widened, and she said lightly: "What's the matter, homesick?" β
Linglong pursed her lips, not admitting it, but she didn't deny it either.
"Hey, you're still too young." Tang Xiuzhu shook her head, sighed, and said softly: "For the sake of us all from Wujin, I'll tell Niangniang when I go back, let you go out of the palace." β
"Really?" When Linglong heard this, she immediately looked at Tang Xiuzhu with a look of surprise, "Auntie, will you really tell Zhaoyi Niangniang for me?" β
There was a faint smile between Tang Xiuzhu's solemn eyebrows, which softened her slightly sharp facial features a lot, "How does this girl speak?" Auntie, when did you lie to you? β
"Linglong thanked my aunt." Linglong didn't say a word, knelt on the ground with a "plop", and kowtowed to Tang Xiuzhu.
"Hey, quick, get the man up." Tang Xiuzhu instructed the little palace maid beside her, and when the little palace maid helped Linglong up, she glared at Linglong with disgust, "You kid, I brought you to Yiqiu Palace in the first place, I thought that with me, I could take care of you a little." But after all, it delayed your future! β
When Linglong heard this, a look of forgiveness suddenly bloomed on her face.
She was originally the daughter of a merchant, and her father did the Taihu Stone business in Wujin. But who knew that there were unforeseen circumstances, my father lost money in business, and his family went bankrupt overnight, and his family was ruined. She was still young at that time, and her uncle saw that she was good-looking, so he sent her to the palace.
Originally, I thought that after staying in the palace for a few years, people will grow up, and I can't say that one day I will get the eyes of nobles, but there is no one next to the inner courtyard of this deep palace, and the beauty does not know herself! And not only did she please because of her appearance, but she also suffered a lot because of her appearance. If it weren't for it, Aunt Tang Nian was also from Wujin County, took more care of her, and transferred her to Yiqiu Palace, she would have become the purple and red peony flower fertilizer in the imperial garden!
"Auntie, don't say that." Linglong looked at Tang Xiuzhu, and said with gratitude between her eyebrows: "All these years, if it weren't for you, where would I still be alive." Not to mention anything with a bad future! β
Tang Xiuzhu listened to her words, smiled, got up and patted her on the shoulder, and said softly: "Okay, it's not early, let's rest." The matter of leaving the palace, I will help you mention it in front of Zhaoyi Niangniang when I have the opportunity. β
"Thank you, auntie." Linglong thanked her again.
Tang Xiuzhu waved her hand and left with the little palace maid.
Linglong sent it to the door, and saw that Tang Xiuzhu had gone to the main hall, so she turned around and covered the door, and the person lay on the bed in a daze.
Are you finally going to leave the palace?
Can you finally see your mother's kiss?
I don't know if I'm okay all these years? Did my mother receive the silver she sent?
Thinking about it, another delicate and handsome face suddenly appeared in front of Linglong's eyes.
Who is he?
Is it someone in this house?
How would he know that the Taihu Lake stone was jade? And also...... I only sued him, called Linglong, but I didn't sue him, her surname is jade! Jade Linglong is her name!
I don't know, can I see him again? The next time you see him again, be sure to ask what his name is!
Linglong tossed and turned and fell asleep.
Yiqiu Palace, the main hall.
Li Zhaoyi, about thirty-six or seventeen years old, has a delicate complexion, and has a vague resemblance to Duanwang Li Huan between his eyebrows.
When Tang Xiuzhu came in, she had already asked the palace people to wait and change her clothes before she planned to sleep. Seeing Tang Xiuzhu coming in, she waved her hand to the palace maid beside her.
"Go down."
"Yes, sissy."
The palace people rushed out.
Tang Xiuzhu stepped forward and helped Li Zhaoyi remove the palace bun on her head, and said softly: "The slave maid has just gone to see it, it turned out that the girl was homesick, so she ran to see the Taihu stone." β
Li Zhaoyi in the mirror curled the corners of her mouth and said softly: "It's a smart person, how old a person is when she enters the palace, I still thought that when she grows up, I'm afraid that she will even forget her mother, I never thought about it, but she is a long-term girl." β
"Don't compliment her on her affection!" Tang Xiuzhu picked up the boxwood comb, helped Li Zhaoyi through her hair one by one, and said: "It's just a heartless person, I just tried to tell her, let her out of the palace, what are you happy about." Completely forgot about you! β
When Li Zhaoyi heard this, a light smile bloomed on her face, and she said softly: "There's nothing strange about it, I'm not her mother, she's a little girl like a flower, she has been detained in me for so many years, Wen Yuan, who entered the palace with her, doesn't look as good as her, she is already a talented person of the sixth grade, and she is just a little palace maid." I don't resent me in my heart, it's all because this girl has a good character, where can I ......" The words fell and shook his head, "Hey, it's a pity!" β
Tang Xiuzhu smiled and said softly: "Niangniang, don't feel sorry for her, this girl really doesn't have that thought, otherwise, in front of her head, Rui Wangye's lack of a fish farmer, the concubine Niangniang saw that she was clever and wanted her to go, why did she still come to ask Niangniang?" changed to someone else, but I was afraid that I would have followed the concubine Niangniang a long time ago. β
Li Zhaoyi listened to the smile on her face and deepened a little, and when Tang Xiuzhu put down the comb in her hand and helped her get up and walked towards the bed, she said softly: "In the spring of next year, I will let a group of people out, I will have the opportunity to mention it to the emperor when I turn around, if it works, let her out." β
"The little girl knows, I'm just afraid that Dele will cry." Tang Xiuzhu said.
Li Zhaoyi smiled and waved her hand to Tang Xiuzhu, who was waiting for her to go to bed, "You go down, I don't need anyone to wait here, and no one is allowed to come in and disturb me without my orders." β
"Yes, sissy."
Tang Xiuzhu retreated, and Gong retreated.
Who up and down the Yiqiu Palace doesn't know that his mother is a light person, but if there is a little sound, he will wake up. When the first emperor was still alive, there was no one to wait in her bedroom.
Tang Xiuzhu extinguished a few wall lamps, leaving only a melon lantern with a hazy light, and then retreated lightly.
On the bed, Li Zhaoyi listened to Tang Xiuzhu's distant steps and slowly opened her eyes.
In the darkness, there was a faint rhythmic beating sound of "tuk tuk".
β¦β¦
Outside the gate of Changxing Houfu.
Li Xi took the curtain of the car raised by Gu Yong, and said to Rong Jin, who was standing there and came to thank him: "You go, be careful when you go out in the future, speaking of which, you are the county lord of Yipin, and you should bring more talents with you when you travel." β
When the words fell, as if remembering something, he coughed, waved his hand, and without waiting for Rong Jin to speak, he motioned to Gu Yong to put down the curtain, and ordered the guards to open the way and go in the direction of the palace.
When the carriage traveled some distance, Gu Yong cautiously glanced at Li Xi, who was holding the scroll in his hand, but along the way, he hadn't turned a page for a long time, and asked tentatively: "Your Highness, what is the ...... of the county lord of Yongning?"
Li Xi looked up at Gu Yong, "What do you want to say?" β
Gu Yong carefully looked at Li Xi's expression, but even if Li Xi was raised by him since he was a child, in the face of His Royal Highness the Prince, who was gentle as jade at all times and had the style of a gentleman, Gu Yong only had a feeling of frustration. People say that the emperor's heart is difficult to understand, why, but he thinks that His Royal Highness the Prince's mind is even more unpredictable than that of the emperor's majesty?
"The slave wants to say, if His Royal Highness is interested in the Lord of Yongning, why not bring the queen forward." Gu Yong said softly: "The slave heard that Mrs. Changxinghou, who has not asked about the world for many years, has recently started to move again, not only giving all the properties under her name to the county lord of Yongning, but also beginning to advocate for the county of Yongning to raise the maid who is waiting for her, look at this formation, it seems to be preparing for the family affairs of the county lord of Yongning!" β
"Snort" Li Xi chuckled, his narrow eyes looked at Gu Yong, who was smiling at him, and his heart and lungs were trembling with laughter, and said lightly: "Do you think that this palace is taking a fancy to the county lord of Yongning?" β
The smile on Gu Yong's face couldn't help but stiffen.
If His Royal Highness didn't take a fancy to the Lord of Yongning, why did he use the spies buried in the Changxing Mansion? Why did he know that the county lord of Yongning was in danger, so he rushed there in a hurry? Could it be that this qiΔ is just because Your Highness, you've been so bored lately?
Seeing Gu Yong's puzzled look at himself, Li Xi curled the corners of his lips, and a faint sneer flashed under his dark eyes. He picked up the book he had thrown aside and looked at it with his eyes down.
Gu Yong's lips pursed, but when he met Li Xi, who looked indifferent, he didn't say anything.
For a long time, just when Gu Yong was searching his stomach and thinking about what he was wrong, Li Xi's voice sounded above his head.
"This palace remembers that you once said that the lord of Yongning had asked the queen mother for two favors before, didn't you?"
Gu Yong hurriedly put down his thoughts, like a wild horse, and replied, "Yes, the county lord of Yongning asked for the county lord's mansion and a pardon edict. β
"The queen mother didn't agree?"
"Back to His Royal Highness, Niangniang told the emperor what the county lord of Yongning meant, but the emperor did not give a clear statement." Gu Yong said.
Li Xi smiled, turned the page of the book in his hand, and said lightly: "Okay, this palace will let the county lord of Yongning owe this palace a favor again!" β
"Your Highness......" Gu Yong looked at Li Xi dumbfounded.
Li Xi waved his hand without raising his head, and Gu Yong hurriedly retreated to the side, looking at his nose and heart, and made a wooden figure. But in my heart, it is like turning over the river and the sea, and the waves are turbulent.
Your Highness, what exactly does he want to do?
Since he is not fond of the county lord of Yongning, why do you show favors to the county lord of Yongning again and again?
Let's say that after Rong Jinmu sent Li Xi and his party away, Linlang turned around and raised his hand to knock on the corner door.
After a while, the corner door was opened.
Rong Jin and his entourage got out of the carriage and walked inside.
Along the way, I don't know if it's because everyone has rested when the night is dark, or because Rong Jin's atrocities during the day have spread, which makes people treat her as a flood beast and avoid it. In short, along the way, I didn't meet a few people.
Linlang couldn't help but say: "Girl, what's wrong with the mansion today, why are the secret guards who usually float like ghost shadows from time to time gone?" β
Rong Jin smiled and said: "Linlang, the third watch is almost over, and the ghosts are going to sleep!" β
Linlang thought about it, so she didn't care, and the group walked towards Qingtan Courtyard.
It's just that when he got to the second gate, Rong Jin was also shocked that something was wrong, the second gate is the dividing line between the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard, because the inner courtyard is full of family members, headed by female dependents. It is said that the second gate is the most strict, but no matter how strict it is, it is not as strict as it is today!
Before he arrived, Rong Jin felt the heavy coercion, and the cramped feeling of the wind and the building that was about to come made people almost suffocated!
"Linlang......" Rong Jin paused and looked towards Linlang.
Linlang nodded, after the previous life-and-death crisis, she would not let go of any suspicious clues, and she would never let herself and the girl be in such a dangerous situation again.
"Girl, you find a place to hide first, and I'll go in and have a look." Linlang said.
Rong Jin thought about it, if there was really something, she was by her side, but it made Linlang shrink her hands and feet, so she nodded, pointed to a tree with dense branches and leaves in the courtyard, and said, "I'll go and hide it on the tree." β
She thought that the tree occupied a high point, the foliage was thick, and it was late at night, if there was really something, with the poison on her body, it would always be no problem to protect herself for the time being.
Linlang looked at the tree and nodded: "If things are not right, the girl will climb along the tree to the top of the roof, and the girl can escape to the house of Lord Lu who is sheltered by the roof, Lord Lu is a military general......"
Before Linlang's words were finished, a noise suddenly sounded in his ears.
A foot away, crying, noisy, noisy, like a noble house, just like the vegetable market in the west market!
Rong Jin's face turned pale and looked towards Linlang, "It's my grandmother's house." β
Linlang's face also changed, and at that moment, where did Rong Jin still care about what she was hiding, she pulled her feet and ran towards the Wu family's courtyard.
β¦β¦
An hour ago, Changxing Houfu Qingtan Courtyard.
"Lock the courtyard door, whoever dares to go out will be beaten to death immediately!" Rong Jingde's voice was not loud, but it had a heavy and solemn coldness.
Seeing that it was not good, Jade shouted to the tortoiseshell: "Go find Hou Ye quickly, let Hou Ye come and save the old lady!" β
The tortoiseshell turned around and was about to leave, but Rong Jingde had already walked over murderously, raised his foot and kicked it the tortoiseshell's chest, and the tortoiseshell fell to the ground holding his chest.
Rong Jingde waved his hand at this time, and the chief manager Rong Fang sighed and opened the corner door on one side, and everyone saw a soldier who came in from outside with a solemn expression, holding a bright steel knife in his hand.
The people in Qingtan Courtyard were either maids or mothers-in-law, who had seen such a formation, and for a while everyone shrank in the corner and didn't dare to say anything. Only the four fists and kicks prepared by the Wu family for Rong Jin turned pale, and each the guy and surrounded the Wu family in the middle, confronting Rong Jingde.
"Wu Yizhen, let me ask you again, do you really want to enter the palace?" Rong Jingde asked with a gloomy face.
Wu Shi looked at Rong Jingde's murderous gaze with a sad and indignant expression, "I will also ask you again, who is the person you went to see today?" My Jin'er, where is she now? β
"She's dead!" Rong Jingde said coldly: "Don't worry, I will find a feng shui treasure to bury her, so that she can have a good birth in the next life, and don't vote for a noble family like us again." β
Wu's body shook, gritted her teeth, swallowed the fishy sweetness in her throat, she glared at Rong Jingde, and said word by word: "Rong Jingde, today is either you die or I die." β
Without waiting for Rong Jingde to speak, Wu turned around and said: "Jade, take out all those rosins, burn the Qingtan Courtyard, and let our people sprinkle all those medicines in the well in the backyard, since you are going to die, then let's die!" β
"Yes, old lady."
Jade didn't hesitate at all between her eyebrows, and turned around to order.
Rong Jingde snorted coldly, and with a wave of his hand, the soldiers rushed over like a flood of beasts.
After all, there was a huge disparity between the enemy and me, and soon Nian Xia and a few people were taken down by the soldiers sent by Rong Jingde, Jade protected the Wu family and retreated in a corner, raised her head to meet Rong Jingde's blood-red gaze, and hissed: "Old Wait, the old lady is gone, have you ever thought about how to explain to Wait?" No matter what, old lady, she is always the biological mother of Hou Ye. Where are you waiting? β
"What does he know? I am his own father, can he still kill his father for a dead man? Rong Jingde sneered.
Emerald air knot.
Rong Jingde took out a ginger glazed amphora from his sleeve and threw it in front of Wu, "It's always a death, rather than me doing it, it's better for you to go faster!" β
Wu shook his head, "Why should I fulfill you?" β
Rong Jingde raised his eyebrows, Wu's reaction was expected by him.
That's right, if Wu committed suicide, it would be better for him than for him to do it himself!
"That being the case, I can't say it, I'm the only one who will fulfill you!" Rong Jingde waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him stepped forward.
The tortoiseshell struggled to get up, staggered into the house, and the soldier guarding the door raised his sword to stop him, and the tortoiseshell was so fierce that he threw himself forward. Both hands gripped the blade tightly, and immediately the hands were covered with blood.
"Get out of the way!" The tortoiseshell shouted angrily.
The soldier shrank at the tortoiseshell roar, and Rong Jingde in the room frowned and looked at Rong Fang on the side.
Rong Fang sighed helplessly, and glanced at the soldier, and the knife in the soldier's hand slashed at the tortoiseshell.
"Tortoiseshell ......" Jade watched the tortoiseshell fall in a pool of blood, she looked at Rong Jingde with tears in her eyes, and hissed: "I'm fighting with you!" β
Holding a temporary pair of silver scissors in his hand, he threw himself at Rong Jingde.
As soon as the soldier's long knife was sent by Rong Jingde's side, Jade spat blood from his mouth and collapsed to the ground.
The room was like hell on earth for a moment.
Wu's lips trembled, and tears fell like rain.
"That's what you want?" Rong Jingde raised his feet and walked towards the Wu family, his eyebrows full of disdain, "Everyone is dead, are you satisfied?" β
Wu raised his head, his eyes washed with tears, and stared at Rong Jingde deadly.
"I swear, I'm a ghost, and I won't let you go!"
"Then I will crush your bones and scatter ashes, so that you will never enter the path of reincarnation."
Rong Jingde said word by word, the words fell, took a step forward, raised his hand and clamped Wu's jaw, and aimed the ginger bottle in his hand at Wu's mouth that he had to open and poured all the potions in the bottle.
The door was slammed open.
Rong Jin saw this scene, the candlelight in the room was flickering, her grandmother's eyes were round, and a stream of black blood was flowing from the corner of her lips in an angry and helpless way, bidding farewell to this world and her.
"Grandmother!"
Rong Jin rushed forward.
Rong Jingde turned his head violently, as if he had seen a ghost, and said sharply: "You are really unjust, that won't kill you!" β
Rong Jin ignored Rong Jingde, she just stepped forward, hugged Wu, who was bleeding from her nose, ears, and even her eyes, and shouted to Linlang: "Linlang, save grandmother, save grandmother......"
Linlang wanted to step forward, but at this time, a large number of black-clothed people appeared inside and outside the door in an instant.
"Girl, we're in ambush!" Linlang hissed: "Girl, go, go!" β
"Don't even think about leaving!" Rong Jingde shouted coldly, waved his hand to the man in black behind him, and shouted: "Kill Rong Jin, fifty taels of gold!" β
There will be brave men under the great reward.
Not to mention that these people are already on a mission, kill someone, and get another fifty taels of gold, why not?!
Soon Linlang was surrounded in the middle, if it weren't for the magic of poison skills, I was afraid that he would have died under the knife, that is, Linlang was already showing fatigue.
No matter how powerful the master is, he can't stand the large number of opponents, so he starts a wheel war.
Seeing that Linlang was trapped, the man in black pulled out again and went to deal with Rong Jin.
Rong Jin only knows some hand-to-hand combat skills, but this kind of kung fu is completely out of the question for the black-clothed people who have weapons in their hands and have good skills, and within a few clicks, Rong Jin has already hung up on his body.
"Rong Jin, let's catch it!" Rong Jingde said coldly on the side: "I'll give you a whole corpse!" β
After Rong Jin used the last handful of medicine on her body, she looked at Rong Jingde and said coldly: "Rong Jingde, if I don't die, do you know what the result will be?" β
Hearing this, Rong Jingde couldn't help but snort coldly: "How can you not die?" β
As soon as the words fell, he was about to give the order to let the man in black kill, and suddenly a series of messy steps sounded outside.
"Hou Ye is here!"
Rong Jingde frowned, turned back to Rong Fang and said, "Stop Yizhou." β
Rong Fang was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, old waiter." β
The words fell.
But before Rong Fang could go far, a panicked shout sounded outside.
"Oh no, there's a fire, there's a fire in Rongxi Hall!"
Rongxi Hall fire?
Before Rong Jingde could react, another shout sounded.
"Oh no, Songheju is also on fire, and the horses in the porch have run away......"
The entire Houfu suddenly became a pot of porridge.
"Leave it out there, kill these two first." Rong Jingde said sharply.
The man in black was not from Changxing Houfu in the first place, and for them, it had nothing to do with them if the entire Changxing Houfu was burned to ashes, so everyone targeted Rong Jin and Linlang.
"Linlang, you go!" Rong Jin hissed and shouted to Linlang who tried to rush up to save her again: "You don't care about me, you can go one by one!" β
"No, let's die together, we want to go together!" Linlang shouted, and rushed towards Rong Jin regardless of a qiΔ.
After being poisoned again, the man in black was furious, they left Rong Jin, surrounded Linlang in the middle, gestured behind him, and soon a group of soldiers with bows and crossbows came in.
Rong Jin was horrified when she saw it, she turned around and shouted to Rong Jingde: "Let her go, I'll plant myself!" βββ
