The banquet had just begun, Chu Shenxia left the palace in a hurry, Liu Yan had a very bad meal, originally just wanted to accompany his mother to have a good meal, but a few ministers who were not long-eyed somehow had to talk about state affairs. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, these words were still aimed at Liu Yan, and the atmosphere at the banquet suddenly fell to the extreme, as if someone did not want Concubine Gao Xian to spend her birthday happily.

The emperor expected that if he was not there, the minister would not continue, and immediately deduced that he had a headache and left, but what he did not expect was that after he left, the scene became more and more intense.

Many ministers drank a few more cups, and their minds were a little confused, and they scolded and said things that they didn't know how thick the sky was, which provoked Liu Yan to almost flip the table away, but fortunately he was stopped by Concubine Gao Xian.

This banquet, in the end, ended early, Liu Yan left the palace with a sigh of anger, and when he left, he thought of Chu Shenxia again, and when he didn't see anyone else at this time, he sent someone to look for it, and he didn't find him after looking for most of the palace.

The anger that he was holding back just now couldn't hold back anymore at this time, Liu Yan blushed his neck and said angrily: "Don't look for it, such a big person, you won't lose it, go back to the East Palace!" ”

Lu Zhi saw that Liu Yan's footsteps were a little unsteady, so he hurriedly reached out to help him, recalled the wine he drank, there was a big altar, and hurriedly persuaded him to go back to the dormitory to rest.

"Your Highness drank too much?"

Lu Zhi followed the voice and looked up, and saw that it was Chu Shenxia, and hurriedly said, "Come here and help, how did you get out without a token?" If you go out, you won't tell Your Highness, so we have been looking for you in the palace for a long time. ”

Liu Yan's face was already red, although he didn't know the height of his feet, the whole person was supported by the power of Lu Zhi, but his speech was methodical, and at first glance, he didn't look like a drunken person.

"You spend all day drinking with the silver from the treasury, fighting when you say you say, and destroying when you say you will destroy it, have you ever thought that sooner or later the Southern Song Dynasty will one day be exhausted and the people will have no livelihood?"

Chu Shenxia saw that he was really drunk. was about to help him, but he pushed him away, raised his chin and said, "You think I'm drunk?" I am very conscious now, and I now see the ministers dangling in front of my eyes. I feel disgusted, thinking that they have done so many unconscionable things behind their backs, and they are all fighting to be some kind of clean officials and virtuous ministers in the face of their fathers. ”

"Especially that ...... guard"

Chu Shenxia strode forward and slashed at his neck with a palm. said to the stunned Lu Zhi: "Don't be stunned, if you don't stun him, how can Your Highness be willing to go back to the palace?" ”

Lu Zhi was still a little apprehensive, took Liu Yan from Chu Shenxia's hand like a puppet, and helped Liu Yan to the dormitory nervously.

While Liu Yan was still asleep in the dormitory, Chu Shenxia began to investigate the people around him, the first one was naturally Lu Zhi, and Lu Zhi was solely responsible for everything big and small around Liu Yan.

If it is not a particularly important thing, Lu Zhi is generally ordered to do it for the people below, and he has a relatively trusted subordinate. This person's name is all erect, he grew up in the Shunwang Mansion since he was a child, he is thoughtful, and he has never disappointed Lu Zhi in doing things.

This person, Chu Shenxia has been photographed a few times, Quan Shun is short and concise, and his eyebrows and eyes are also very docile, at first glance, he is the kind of person who is honest and responsible, but the more honest the person, the easier it is to confuse his eyes.

Chu Shenxia looked down along the whole vertical and found that he was very fond of drinking. I have some friendship with the shopkeeper of the Star Drunken Restaurant, and the Star Drunken Restaurant is the largest tavern in Jiankang, and many rich people, important ministers, and princes will go there. Not only that, but there is also a dancing girl named Xuan'e in the wine shop. The dancing is amazing, which is the cash cow for the wine shop to attract dignitaries.

At this moment, there was still a quarter of an hour before sunset, and Chu Shenxia estimated that by the time he arrived at the wine shop, it should already be dark, so he changed into a night coat and went out.

When jumping from under the fence. Chu Shenxia's heart twitched suddenly, and then his eyebrows tightened, he always had a bad premonition, but when his eyes moved to the figure reflected by the candlelight on the first floor not far away, he couldn't help but move his feet and walked towards the front hall.

Chu Shenxia quietly moved to the door, only to see a graceful woman fiddling behind the screen, the woman was surrounded by screens, and those dignitaries and nobles saw the dance through the screen.

The person who stroked the piano evoked the last note, and the person in the screen suddenly paused, and the candlelight in the screen also dimmed, and no one could see the graceful shadow now.

Someone was not happy and said: "This song is too fast, can you ask Miss Xuan'e to dance again?" ”

Immediately, someone replied with a smile: "Lord Wu, Miss Xuan'e still has something to do, I'm afraid I don't have time to dance for you anymore, so tomorrow, tomorrow, Miss Xuan'e will definitely wait here for all the officials as promised." ”

"In that case, then ask Miss Xuan'e to come out, let us meet and have a glimpse of the beauty, a few of us are really drunk and have no regrets in the pomegranate skirt, haha." Another person in the room spoke.

"Miss Xuan'e's rule of not seeing people is not just set today, Lord Xu, don't be embarrassed about the small ones, how can the small ones speak?"

The person known as Lord Wu immediately became popular, and the volume increased by I don't know how many times, "Don't you think I don't know, Miss Xuan'e is going to see Qi Bi, isn't it just that Qi Bi is the secretary of the military department?" If you want me to say, he is almost sixty years old, so he shouldn't get close to this woman, lest he be called old and disrespectful. ”

"Ahem, you speak louder, just let everyone hear it, okay, okay, just complain here, he wants the people he wants, do you have the courage to ask for it?" Lord Xu hurriedly scolded.

Chu Shenxia leaned against the door and eavesdropped on it, seeing the footsteps hurriedly coming this way, he was about to fly out of the window of the corridor, but his hand was gently grabbed, and when he looked back, the long sleeves in the man's hand had already brushed his face, and then quietly pulled him into the screen.

Chu Shenxia was obscured by the long sleeves flying in front of him, and he couldn't see the environment inside the screen clearly, but his nose was fine, there was a strong smell of blood in the screen, which rushed straight through the fragrance of the person in front of him and rushed to his nose.

With a pang in his heart, he hurriedly grabbed the person, but somehow, the internal force seemed to be locked in his body, and he couldn't use it at all, Chu Shenxia only grabbed a piece of clothing belt, and fell down as soon as his feet were soft.

This fall, the strong smell of blood drilled into the mouth and nose unscrupulously, Chu Shenxia stretched out his hand to probe, and the corpse in front of him really had no breath.

It's just that there is no candlelight in the screen, and he can't determine who it is, only that it is a woman, and at the same time, the noise of several officials outside the screen is getting closer and closer.

"You let me see, just take a look, it's fine. Miss Xuan'e won't blame me, and she won't blame you. ”

Before he could finish speaking, he put one hand on the screen, intending to remove it. The light outside the screen suddenly squeezed in through the gap, and Chu Shenxia took this opportunity to see clearly that it was a dancing girl lying on the ground, and there was an extremely deep wound on her neck, which was killed by a knife.

With the sound of heavy footsteps. The light in front of him suddenly disappeared, and then several people panicked, "Lord Shangshu, you...... You're coming. ”

"What do you want to do?" Qi Bi's voice was very majestic, and people couldn't help but feel afraid when they heard it.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing, it's just a strange sound inside the screen, we're worried about Miss Xuan'e, so ......"

Chu Shenxia tried to move, but found that the strength in his body seemed to have been taken away, and he couldn't stand up at all. Seeing that the people outside were silent, leaving only a pair of footsteps, the sweat on Chu Shenxia's forehead continued to drip down.

Once the screen is removed, he can't tell if he has a mouth, not to mention that this time he came, someone must have deliberately lured him over, since this is the case, then he must have prepared a perfect strategy, just afraid that depending on the situation, then Qi Bi will never let himself go easily.

"Peng!" Ground thud. A vase placed on the window behind him suddenly fell to the ground without wind, and everyone was tense at the moment, and when they heard the sound, they naturally reflexively looked back.

Qi Bi was the first to react. As soon as I pushed the screen open, I saw the scene in the screen, and the whole person was stunned, and Miss Xuan'e fell in a pool of blood, her round eyes glared angrily, and she died a miserable death.

A few people on the side also tilted their heads to watch. But when they really saw it, they cried out in horror and ran out of the room as if they were fleeing.

Qi Bi's bloodless mouth suddenly trembled violently, and the whole person looked a little crazy because of his emotion, and with a "bang", he knelt beside her, and closed her eyes with trembling hands.

"Xuan'er." After rolling out her name from the roar, Qi couldn't contain his emotions after all, and cried uncontrollably.

On the opposite eaves, Chu Shenxia took in his reaction, and naturally felt strange, but what was even more strange was that at the critical juncture, Jing Min suddenly appeared and saved him, everything happened so strangely today.

"You don't know, this dancer is the illegitimate daughter of Qi Bi, and his wife died early, but she never renewed the strings after that. This daughter was found by him recently, and he was happy, but because she was a dancer, he couldn't make up his mind to take her back to recognize her ancestors. It's good today, the father and daughter are separated by yin and yang, and he is completely cut off from his children and grandchildren this time. Jing Min said in a bland tone.

Chu Shenxia saw that he knew the roots, so he thought of today's events, grabbed his clothes, and asked, "Did you arrange these things too?" ”

"Who?!" Hearing the movement on the eaves, Qi Bi stood up suddenly, drew his sword, and hurried to the window to look.

A bright moon shone high, but the eaves opposite were as silent as stagnant water, Qi Bi felt that he had thought too much, and returned to the corpse again.

"Why are you so excited?" Jing Min carefully closed the door of the firewood room, and then walked in front of him and said, "I was indeed instructed by King Qing to do things today, but before the matter was done, I ran into such a good show." ”

"You really didn't do it?" Chu Shenxia was still a little unconvinced, and asked, "Then let me ask you, what order are you serving?" ”

Jing Min put his hand on his lifeline and said in a long tone: "King Qing, let me pull him to King Qing's door according to the preferences of Qi Bi, the master of the military department." You also know that Qi Bi, an old immortal, is really soft and hard, and it is no wonder that the emperor will rest assured that the military department will be handed over to him for so many years. I finally found out the gap between him and his daughter, and finally thought of a way to win over Qi Bi, and now ...... I can't help it. ”

"What do you think of?" Although Chu Shenxia still had a trace of doubt in his heart, he couldn't find the slightest loophole in his statement.

"Beautiful men." Jing Yan smiled slyly, then let go of the finger on his lifeline, and said, "You are poisoned." ”
