Chapter 17 Each has his own mind

Many people have a variety of opinions in these chapters, but frankly speaking, this is all written by me, and it is also my own way of thinking, and there is no way to do it, I can't always say how insidious Jiang Zhe is, if you don't pave the way for the environment, how to write that bloody battle for succession, so everyone read it patiently, and it will soon enter the climax stage. But it's a pity that I still added more than half a week of classes this week, so the writing progress is not ideal, so I decided to change from now on, temporarily change to five chapters a week, and I won't post articles on weekends, after all, I have entered the peak period of work, but I believe that I didn't fill the number indiscriminately, no matter what article, it can't always be exciting, there must always be a buffer and foreshadowing.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

But it turned out that last night's Dongshi incident, all the martial law in Chang'an City, although Ye Tianxiu escaped by luck, but he was really unable to move, and finally chose a random house, thinking that even if he used force to restrain the owner of the house, only he could rest for one night, recuperate his injuries, and be able to escape reluctantly tomorrow. But there is such a coincidental thing in the world, and this house is Xia Jinyi's residence.

As soon as Ye Tianxiu entered the courtyard, he was heard clearly by Xia Jinyi, but he knew that he was inconvenient to deal with, so he went to wake up Chiji, and when Chiji passed, Ye Tianxiu was already unconscious, and after Chiji bandaged his injuries and took internal and external medicines, Ye Tianxiu woke up, and he asked Chiji to go to Yongwangfu for him for help, this is because he knew that he was so injured that it was absolutely impossible to give birth to Chang'an, and the only way to save his life was to get the help of Yongwangfu, His Royal Highness King Yong, because the crown prince and Fengyi Gate have become close to each other, for the sake of King Qing, he may save his life.

If it were elsewhere, Chi Ji would probably be embarrassed, but when this person mentioned Yongwang Mansion, Chi Ji's heart was half relieved, and when he sent the news to Yongwang Mansion, Xiao Shunzi was also stunned when he heard it, he knew that King Qing's guards were slaughtered in Beijing tonight, and he didn't expect Ye Tianxiu to have such a big fate, but Ye Tianxiu appeared in Xia Jinyi's hideout, how to deal with it, he couldn't make his own decisions.

I pondered for a moment, King Qing and Fengyimen are enemies, then they are allies on their side, and multiple friends are better than multiple enemies, Ye Tianxiu naturally wants to save, but Xia Jinyi can't live there, the current situation, if Xia Jinyi reveals his whereabouts, it's not a good thing, and after Ye Tianxiu leaves, I'm afraid someone will come to track down this place, so Xia Jinyi must be allowed to leave, but where to let him go, starting today, Chang'an must be rumored, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hide. After thinking about it, I said: "You go in person, let Xia Jinyi think of a way to change his appearance, and leave Chang'an for a while, I can't do anything about the current situation, he should be able to understand." ”

Xiao Shunzi said lightly: "Childe, it's always a disaster for this person to stay, it's better to kill people, right?" ”

I shook my head and said: "No, I have never done anything wrong, this person has helped me a lot, regardless of my life, if I do this, it will be cold, you can persuade him well, anyway, he has no effect in Chang'an, it is better to leave." ”

Xiao Shunzi nodded and said, "Then I'll go in person, I don't think Chiji will let Ye Tianxiu see anything that shouldn't be seen." ”

Li Shun took the carriage of Yongwangfu and drove towards the hiding place, Chang'an is really a depression today, and the streets are full of forbidden troops, but the sign of Yongwangfu is very sufficient, and no one dares to stop it. In the car, Li Shun secretly thought in his heart that if Xia Jinyi refused to agree, he would fight to blame his son, and he would kill him.

It didn't take long for the car to arrive at the house located in a remote alley, Li Shun ordered the servants accompanying him to wait outside, and went in alone and walked into the courtyard, Li Shun's eyes suddenly flashed with cold light, and his pupils narrowed a little because of the murderous aura, because he saw a somewhat familiar, but strange young man, the young man was handsome, fair and transparent, and what was more unique was the cold temperament, although he stood there, admiring the lotus flowers in the courtyard, but in his eyes, Li Shun could not see a trace of joy, nor could he see any sadness, as if he is a person without emotions. But where does that familiarity come from? He looked at the young man carefully, and finally flashed a trace of surprise and suddenness, this person turned out to be that Xia Jinyi, what was going on, why didn't Chi Ji tell himself that Xia Jinyi had such a change. Thinking of this, he glared fiercely at Chiji, who came out of the next room to greet him.

Chi Ji is a little inexplicable, although Xia Jinyi has changed greatly in the past few days, but Chi Ji is close to him every day, but he can't feel it, for the change in Xia Jinyi's temperament, Chi Ji only thinks that he is sad, so he didn't report it to Xiao Shunzi. Although he was strange in his heart, he didn't dare to ask more, and stepped forward and said, "This night master, you are the official master of Yongwang Mansion, Ye Gongzi is already waiting for you in the room." ”

Li Shun said lightly: "You go down first, I have something to say to Mr. Xia." ”

Chi Ji looked a little uneasy and retreated silently, but Xia Jinyi walked over affectionately as if he had just seen Xiao Shunzi, and said with a smile: "It turns out that you are here in person, how are you doing?" ”

Xiao Shunzi looked at Xia Jinyi silently, he could feel that this person was indeed really happy to see him, but it was weird, he could also deeply sigh that this person did not have a trace of mood swings at all. Suddenly, he struck Xia Jinyi with a palm, Xia Jinyi's expression seemed to be a little panicked, but he quickly raised his palms to greet him, his palms intersected, Xiao Shunzi only felt that Xia Jinyi's true qi was like feminine, and like masculine, very weird, after a loud noise, Xiao Shunzi did not move at all, but Xia Jinyi took two steps back, and a trace of blush flashed on his fair and handsome face.

Xiao Shunzi didn't continue to shoot, but Xia Jinyi didn't look panicked, and stood solemnly, but smiled slightly.

Xiao Shunzi said lightly: "What happened to you?" ”

Xia Jinyi's eyes flashed, and he smiled: "It's nothing, I just feel like a different person, and I don't care about the things in the past,"

Xiao Shunzi said coldly: "Gongzi ordered me to tell you, Chang'an City is very dangerous now, if you want, you can temporarily take refuge outside, if you want, I can be the master of Gongzi and let you leave freely." ”

Xia Jinyi's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said, "No, if you don't see Li Hanyou receiving punishment, Xia will never leave." ”

Xiao Shunzi frowned and said, "The matter of Fengyimen is not something that can be solved in a day or two, and it is inconvenient for you to stay in the capital." ”

Xia Jinyi was silent, and only said after a while: "Don't you also think that I have changed a lot, and now they will still recognize me?" ”

Xiao Shunzi thought for a while and said, "At first glance, it may not be, but you have been in the Prince's Mansion for a long time, and many people may recognize you." ”

Xia Jinyi said with a respectful expression: "Please Li Ye convey Xia's mind to the adult, Xia is willing to work for the adult, it is not difficult to change his appearance, Xia believes that he will not be recognized casually." ”

Xiao Shunzi's heart moved, Xia Jinyi didn't know what was going on, his martial arts have improved by leaps and bounds, this person is smart and clever, if he stays by his son's side, it is not bad, although the disguise technique cannot completely change a person's characteristics, but Xia Jinyi's temperament has changed a lot, as long as he lives in a simple place, he should be able to hide from the eyes of others. And if he messes around and refuses to leave, even if he kills him, it is not a matter of one or two moves, if he hears something for Ye Tianxiu, it will also be a trouble, it is better to take him back to Yongwang's Mansion, if the son says that he can keep it, he will leave him in the cold garden, if the son says no, he will kill him. Thinking of this, he said with a sigh of relief: "You go back to King Yong's Mansion with me to see Gongzi." ”

Xia Jinyi didn't understand the murderous intentions hidden in Xiao Shunzi's heart, but he also believed that he could get his long-cherished wish, so he said respectfully: "The grass people obey the official's order. ”

Xiao Shunzi smiled helplessly, and walked to Ye Tianxiu's side room where he was recuperating, on the sickbed, Ye Tianxiu's expression was pale, and most of his body was wrapped in a white cloth, seeing Xiao Shunzi, he reluctantly sat up, and said with a wry smile: "It turned out that Brother Li came in person, Tianxiu is grateful." ”

Xiao Shunzi said solemnly: "When I heard that Brother Ye was attacked last night, His Royal Highness and my son-in-law were very worried, I didn't expect that Brother Ye would turn evil into good fortune, and he would not die in a catastrophe, and there would be a blessing in the future, but I don't know if Brother Ye knew who shot last night?" ”

Ye Tianxiu smiled bitterly: "The person who came masked and made a move, the swordsmanship is strong, Ye is ashamed of himself, but he doesn't know the identity of that person." ”

Xiao Shunzi's eyes flashed, and he asked again: "Do you know whether that person is a man or a woman, and what kind of swordsmanship is used?" ”

Ye Tianxiu had already recalled the situation of that day thousands of times, and at this moment he said without hesitation: "That person is a man, although he has beautiful eyebrows, but Ye has been fighting with him for a long time, that person is definitely not a woman, otherwise I don't have to guess who did it, his swordsmanship is also outstanding, subtle and profound, some like Yue Nu's swordsmanship." ”

Li Shun's eyebrows moved, and he said, "Do you suspect Xiahou Yuanfeng, isn't he practicing the Yue Nu swordsmanship?" ”

Ye Tianxiu shook his head and said: "I also thought that it might be him, but I have seen Lord Xiahou's swordsmanship, and I feel that there is no such masked man as fierce and fierce, and although the Yue Nu swordsmanship is broad and profound, it is not a single line, there are many schools in the rivers and lakes, and I really can't confirm whether it is Lord Xiahou or not." ”

Li Shun didn't think much about it, there was always a time when the sun set in this matter, so why rush for a while, so he smiled and said: "Guard Ye, let's go to the palace first, your injuries also have to be dealt with again, let's talk about these things later." Ye Tianxiu nodded happily.

On this day, although the situation in Chang'an gradually calmed down, but in private there were turbulent dark waves, early in the morning, Li Hanyou entered the palace to meet Concubine Ji. The two sat opposite each other in Ji Guifei's residence and drank tea. Li Hanyou's obvious thoughts did not belong, but Concubine Ji Guifei looked indifferent. The two gossiped for a long time, and Li Hanyou finally couldn't help it, and asked: "Uncle Shi, it is understandable that the teacher came to take over the power this time, but last night Chang'an was in such a mess, but Han You didn't know anything, you say, is the master dissatisfied with Han You?" ”

Ji Guifei smiled faintly and said: "You have been worried, you have done very well over the years, if the master of the door thinks that you are wrong, he will never let you go lightly, but these things are not suitable for you to do, although you are a disciple of the inner hall, but now that you are married to Qin Qing, you have nominally become a disciple of the outer hall, these things are not suitable for you to do, for Fengyimen, it is far more important for you to maintain today's glorious status than you do those things." ”

Li Hanyou sighed and said: "That day, the master of the sect arranged for me to marry Qin Qing, to tell you the truth, I don't want to, uncle, I really want to be the heir to the mantle of the master, but ......"

She didn't say any more, but Concubine Ji knew very well what she was not done, the authority of the Fengyi Sect Master could not be resisted, and besides, wealth and glory were pressing, and a few people could refuse ruthlessly. The fan in her hand shook slightly, and Concubine Ji said gracefully: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much, although you can't be the next door master, but the meaning of the door master is very clear, the future Fengyi Gate is not the master of the door alone, Ziyan cultivation is the highest, and she is loyal to her senior sister, most of the force that Fengyi Gate has carefully cultivated over the years is in her hands, but the name of cruelty is too strong, so there is no hope of inheriting the position of the door master, your second senior sister Xiao Lan and fifth senior sister Qin Zheng are both married and have lost their inheritance qualifications, Although the third senior sister Feng Feifei has some fame in the rivers and lakes, she can't control the heroes, and she can only be in an auxiliary position, your fourth senior sister Liang Wan is now delirious, and your seventh senior sister is reckless, let alone take on big responsibilities, only your sixth senior sister Ling Yu and eighth senior sister Yan Wushuang are a clear and beautiful dust, a beautiful crown, and their martial arts are also good, which is most in line with the requirements of the door master, but you don't have to worry, according to the current situation, Ziyan's position of supervision cannot run, and those of us who are in the court are naturally a faction, yes or no, Yu'er, Xiaotong, and Wushuang are also a faction, no one wants to be arbitrary, as long as you have the ability to let Lan'er and Zheng'er obey you, are you afraid that you won't be able to fight with them. ”

The more Li Hanyou listened, the more happy he became, and said, "Thank you Uncle for your advice, and I hope Uncle Shi will mention more." ”

Ji Guifei said with a smile: "You are a smart person in Bingxue, what are you confused, as long as you don't show dissatisfaction, Senior Sister will not give up on you, this time the matter was not arranged by us, we can naturally speak confidently." ”

Li Hanyou said with some concern: "But the disciple heard that it was the senior sister who planned to assassinate Zheng Xuan, what if it spreads out?" ”

Ji Guifei sneered: "What are you afraid of, don't say that you didn't do it, even if you take action in person, don't be afraid, why did the master of the door agree with the people of Yuezong to slaughter King Qing's people this time, isn't it just to cover up our assassination of Zheng Xuan, if King Qing's people die, I'm afraid that everyone will doubt us, but it doesn't matter if we doubt it, who doesn't know the grievances between us and King Qing, as long as we don't kill King Qing directly, the emperor will not blame us, not to mention that there is no evidence, who would have thought that we were going to kill Zheng Xuan?" ”

Li Hanyou sighed and said, "The master of the sect is really hard to guess, and now the disciple doesn't understand why he killed Zheng Xuan." ”

Ji Guifei sighed and said: "Alas, senior sister is also a last resort, Zheng Xuan is a strict person, this time the emperor came back with the intention of letting the prince go, this Zheng Xuan must be like the last summons, bluntly criticized the prince for his immorality, but the emperor respected him very much, if he was allowed to admonish him a few more times in front of the emperor, I am afraid that the prince's position will not be kept, and for our purposes, we have to sacrifice Lord Zheng, but unfortunately it did not succeed, but he does not want to shake the prince's position this time." ”

Li Han smiled and said, "Only the Moon Sect is the stupidest and is used as a shield by us. ”

"Who's stupid isn't necessarily." Lu Jingzhong smiled and shook the folding fan lightly and said slowly. And Xiahou Yan, who was sitting opposite the Ministry of Rites, said: "Senior brother, don't be too underestimated by the enemy, the master of the Fengyi Sect has powerful methods, and you don't know that many people in our Sun and Moon Second Sect died in her hands back then." ”

Lu Jingzhong said with a solemn expression: "Senior brother, I know how powerful this woman is, but now it is impossible for her to eradicate us, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not shrewd, but he still knows about beware of Fengyimen, and the gap between him and Fengyimen is already very deep, I am confident that I can fight against the master of Fengyimen." ”

Xiahou Yan sighed slightly: "Senior brother, since our Yuezong met twenty years ago, we are now withered, and we can't afford to lose it. ”

Lu Jingzhong said coldly: "Senior brother is the elder of the Yuezong, so he naturally cherishes his feathers, but I, Lu Jingzhong, was taught by my teacher thirty years ago, although now I don't know what the identity of the teacher is in the Yuezong, but now everything is obtained by my own hands, and I will never allow it to be taken away." ”

Xiahou Yan smiled bitterly: "I don't know much about this matter, but listening to the first master, our Yuezong has been passed down for seventeen generations, and there have been many cases of the loss of classics in the middle, but there are always cigarettes, the first master once said that the Demon Sect must have another branch that is specifically responsible for inheritance, and even the first master suspects that those people are only known by name, but even we ourselves do not understand the details of the Star Sect disciples, the first master is very lucky, even passed on for several generations and continues to extinct it, some things he has also been deeply puzzled, but the first master has one thing that he said very clearly, The disciples of the Moon Sect in the past dynasties were mostly conspiracy and could not die well, so I tried my best to prevent Yuan Feng from getting involved in the affairs of the Demon Sect, but you always refused to let him go, and this time you asked him to kill King Qing's guards, do you really want to fight against me to the end? Speaking of which, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Xiahou Yan's eyes.

Lu Jingzhong said calmly: "Senior brother, you can hide in the court, but your nephew is young, so talented and talented, how can you bear to let him do nothing, besides, since ancient times, if you are a wise and brave person, there are few people who are comfortable and stealing, since I have such talent, there should be my status in this world, if it is not for ambition and arrogance, how can Yuezong continue to inherit, knowing that after each alliance, they will kill each other within twenty or thirty years, and in the end, only one or two can get rich and powerful, but no one has ever given up, Who doesn't want to assist the Ming Lord to dominate the world, draw shadows and smoke, and can also become the sect master of the Moon Sect, with the suzerain's order, you can get the guidance of the Star Sect, and get a glimpse of the true copy of the 'Yin Fu Sutra', but unfortunately in the past thousand years, only the thirteenth generation of patriarchs has been promoted to the sect master. ”

Xiahou Yan said with a deep smile: "And that sect master came back half a year after the mysterious disappearance, and passed away with a smile on his face, but unfortunately he refused to say what he saw after all." ”

Lu Jingzhong's eyes flashed with fanaticism, and he said: "If I can't get a glimpse of the Yin Runic Sutra in my life, I'd rather die." ”

Xiahou Yan said lightly: "Yes, I also used to think so, the ancestor was as deep as the sea back then, and only passed on what he learned from the seventh layer, and there is today's Yuezong, I am willing to pay all the costs and want to see the legacy of the ancestor master." It's a pity that now I'm disheartened and just want to spend my life in peace, so you still don't want to fight Yuan Feng's idea anymore. ”

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Lu Jingzhong's eyes, and said: "Senior brother, do you really think it's my idea, my nephew is very smart, and you once passed on what you learned to him, and he is also a vigorous young man, how can you bow down to others, senior brother, if you didn't teach him to read and learn swords, it's too late today." ”

Xiahou Yan's expression changed, and he said after a long time: "Yes, what you said is right, it is indeed late." ”
