Chapter 203: Assassination
On the ninth day of the first month of March, when the spring is full of uprightness, Wuchang City has a little warmth, and many beautiful ladies and girls are walking together in spring, walking and walking on the street is really a unique scenery. Many talented literati naturally came out, and the voices of the brothers and sisters in the streets and alleys were endless.
The prosperity of Wuchang is not quite the same as that of Kyoto, but it is like the middle of the night when all ethnic groups return to the city, there are more outsiders than locals walking on the street, and they can't help but admire the people from all over the country.
Fengyue Lou is located in the most prosperous street in Wuchang, as a time-honored brand in Wuchang, the main business is still a restaurant, which is divided into three buildings connected into a large courtyard, the higher the specifications in the back, and the reception of people is also different. The front building is mixed with three sects and nine dragons and snakes, which can be said to be the second home of the men in the barracks and the perennial merchant merchants.
Zhao Xian and Side sneaked to Fengyue Tower, and almost made trouble when they entered the door. The figure of Side Fat Dundun is extremely huge, and in the words of the little maid of Ziyue, it is definitely not an exaggeration to describe 'it is sitting on a mountain from a distance, and it is a wall from a distance. And Zhao Xian's physique does not need to be introduced, the only difference between the two is that one is muscle and the other is fat, and the difference in volume is not far away.
These two big men suddenly got into Fengyue Tower, and the people thought they were looking for trouble, so they found thugs to drive people away without saying a word. Side was so angry that he fell down one by one. He shouted angrily at the turtle male inside: "Do you want to die or don't want to live?" Do you know who this is? The eldest son and grandson of the Duke of Daliang Town, the loyal and brave uncle of the general of the Northern Expedition who was enshrined by the Holy Lord, was invited to prostitute himself......"
'Smack!' Zhao Xian raised his hand and knocked on the back of his head, and smiled angrily: "Day, you still reported your family when you fought in the Qinglou, you want to make me famous, right?" β
Side laughed a few times, shook his head and said: "This group of people who are not long-eyed, they don't know how to serve kindly when they come to the big money, they are really disappointed, why don't we go home?" That Yue Ji Heng sees and doesn't see the same. β
Zhao Xian looked at the thugs who were lying on the ground and wailing. Shaking his head, he said, "I'm an easy-going person. I don't mind this little thing, I don't care about them, I'm still hungry. β
"Yes!" Side nodded hurriedly, and glared at the trembling turtle a few times viciously. And he went inside. On the road. Zhao Xian suddenly remembered the beauty of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Turning his head, he asked, "Side, where did you follow the woman you followed yesterday?" β
"Thisβ" Side scratched his head. Embarrassed to say: "Young master, those two women are not simple, I wanted to capture them and send them to the house to warm up, but halfway with them, they entered the bathhouse where the women bathed, and I was a big man who couldn't go in and harm innocent women, so I wanted to wait outside, but I didn't see them come out at night, and finally Miss Su came over and cleaned me up, so I had to give up and come back." β
"Lost?" Zhao Xian frowned, the two women had obviously noticed the four virtues, after all, his size really couldn't be ignored, it would be difficult to let them run away, I still want to see what the identity of that Xingya is. Count her lucky, hey! Missing such a perfect man as me, I don't know if she regrets it...
The two of them walked inside while talking and laughing, not paying any attention to the two of them walking on the street outside. The woman at the head was dressed in a long black and white dress, with a veil covering her face, if she looked at it from a distance, she was still a woman of different races, but her black eyes were seductive, and she had already turned her head without taking off her veil.
The people behind followed nervously, pulled the masked beauty's sleeve and said: "Miss, let's go back to Northern Qi immediately, when we came here, we were already targeted, if they have bad intentions, they will punish the slaves and maids of the nine clans, and they can't explain it." β
Wearing a long skirt, Xing Ya, who is light and moving, looks at the street with beautiful eyebrows, sometimes curious and sometimes surprised, no matter what kind of look she looks like, she is delicate and moving. Hearing the words of the housekeeper, there was a hesitation in her eyes, and she said softly: "Don't worry, the person who has been thrown away, no one is following us now." The Great Liang army is weak, but the folk customs are quite unique, and the Northern Qi Dynasty is very different, and I have only seen it in books. Now that I have secretly come to Daliang, I will go around more before the troubled teachers don't find out, and it's not too late to go back tomorrow. β
The housekeeper didn't dare to disobey Xingya's intentions, so she could only nod and look around cautiously.
Xingya chuckled, strolling and waiting to move forward, when she suddenly heard the sound of poetry and books coming from the restaurant next to her, her beautiful eyes were colorful, and she murmured: "I often ask Daliang that his literary style is very heavy, and he can ask about Douwen and Dou Shi everywhere, if it really lives up to its name, let's go in and have a look." β
Saying that, Miss Xingya, who was not deeply involved in the world, wanted to go in. The housekeeper looked up and saw the place where the ribbons were fluttering and the men were all smiling with a few disgusting smiles, and most of her soul was frightened at that time, and she hurriedly grabbed Xingya and said, "Miss, this... This is not a place for women, you can't go in. β
"Huh?!" Xingya looked back and asked suspiciously, "There is clearly a woman's laughter on it, why did you lie to me that I couldn't go in?" β
"This..."The housekeeper explained embarrassedly, and she couldn't lose her head if she had broken Xingya's teaching, so she could only say: "Miss, listen to the advice of the slave maid, this place is full of dangers, and you can't rush in." β
"It's okay, I know martial arts, and a few guards can't beat me." Xingya's eyelashes curled to reveal a beautiful smile like a crescent moon: "Besides, I just stepped forward to take a look, and the people of Daliang are not all the same guy from yesterday, and they won't trouble us for no reason." With that, he turned around and walked in.
That's the guards don't dare to fight you really hard! The housekeeper was so anxious that she was about to cry, she had never entered this place herself, who knew what scene was inside, if it was really as it was said, men and women prostituted themselves during the day... The housekeeper suddenly panicked, her heart was pounding, and she was anxious to forcibly pull Miss Xingya back, but she found that it was too late.
The turtle father, who had just been beaten by Zhao Xian, was rubbing his face in the hall and sighing that he was unlucky, and the old bustard, who came to ask a few times, was crossing his waist and loudly reprimanding these guards who had no vision. The light at the door was dim, and the old bustard's anger stopped. He turned back with a humble and lovely smile, but saw two women walking in.
The old bustard's fancy makeup was stunned for a moment, and she looked casually but was attracted by the woman in front of her. These eyes, this figure, when the country is really beautiful, if you can sing a little song, the entire Wuchang men are afraid to go crazy.
The old bustard suddenly saw a cash cow, and her smile suddenly returned to her face, but she is not a fool for many years, this beautiful woman is extravagant, and she is by no means idle. She was on the safe side. Then he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Yo! This girl. Are you looking for a living, or are you looking for someone? β
Xingya looked upstairs and said politely, "I want to go up and have a look, is it okay?" β
"Yo! It turned out to be looking for a son-in-law. The small one has eyes and does not know Mount Tai. Palm mouth. "The old bustard didn't even accompany him. Xingya, who arrived at the alley, was inexplicable, shook her head and said, "I just want to go up and have a look, I don't know Gongzi Yue." β
"Huh?!" The old bustard's face froze. This restaurant was chartered by the son-in-law to feast on Uncle Zhao, and there are not a few Wuchang talents invited, this beautiful girl, isn't she here to arrest her husband?
The status of the Liang woman is not low, and there are not a few things that come to Qinglou to bring the Xianggong back, and the old bustard is not unseen, so she became embarrassed at the moment, and said with a smile: "This... This ......"
"Don't be embarrassed, I'll come down right away." Xingya bowed slightly, then turned around and went upstairs. The thugs who were screaming because of their graceful posture forgot about it, and they probed their brains curiously, wanting to see which prime minister had reached the big bad luck again.
Zhao Xian held a wine glass in his hand, stood shoulder to shoulder with Yue Jiheng at the window on the third floor, looked at the Wuchang city wall at the first line of heaven and earth, and sighed lightly: "Brother Ji Heng, in just three months, you and I will meet again, it's really a narrow road... Hey! This adjective doesn't seem like the right one. β
Yue Ji Hengpi didn't smile, glanced at the side with disdain, and snorted lightly: "Hey! My family has seen you since then, and I don't think about it, and even my son is estranged, which makes people feel distressed to think about it. β
"Uh... Ah Man is..."Zhao Xian thought about it for a while, and suddenly remembered that the person was Yue Jiheng's personal guard, and the relationship between the two was really weird.
Zhao Xian shuddered, no wonder Yue Jiheng looked like a woman, couldn't it be that both men and women were killed? He unconsciously walked away from Yue Jiheng for a while, and said with a dry smile: "Yes, I'm really flattered." What, what I just told you, can you still do it? β
Yue Jiheng shook his fan, glanced at him as if he didn't have anything, and snorted softly: "You are also a wood...... Forget it, I'll try it at night. Speaking of this, he frowned again and asked, "Brother Zhao, you just mentioned that the thief leader of the Northern Qi Dynasty passed through Xiangyang on his way to inspect the world, is the news accurate?" β
Zhao Xian nodded lightly, and said solemnly: "You report this matter to General Yue on your behalf, and ask him to repair a letter and report it to the imperial court, as long as you send an elite army to travel between the mountains on the river bank and silently sneak into the barren ridge between Suizhou and Xiangyang, there will be no problem, and then this war that lasts for a hundred years can be solved." β
"This..."Yue Jiheng's face stiffened slightly, and he said with a dry smile: "Brother Zhao, this lone army is going deep, it is tantamount to death, who are you going to let go?" β
"Of course it's me." Zhao Xian patted him on the shoulder, and hurriedly withdrew his hand and said with a big grin: "The news that the secret agent of the An family finally got it, how can such a great credit be allowed to be claimed by others." Of course, if Brother Ji Heng is willing, he can also accompany me to go together, and the credit will be shared equally between the two of them at that time..."
"No, no, how dare Ji Heng compete with Brother Zhao." Yue Jiheng waved his hand again and again, he didn't dare to do such a dead thing, and wanted to reach out and touch Zhao Xian's forehead to see if he had burned out his brain.
At this moment, the noise of the talented people and singers who were singing poems against each other in the rear suddenly stopped, Zhao Xian was puzzled, and when he looked back, his eyes lit up violently.
At the turn of the stairs, a beautiful woman slowly rises, with pink skin and jade skin, green silk like ink, and beautiful eyes like two pools of spring water, which is unforgettable. The white sand mask, before it is taken off, is so moving, if you don't know what kind of style it is.
The eyes of the talented scholars present were instantly blazing, and the pervert who was still touching his sister around him turned on the sage mode in an instant, pushed the sister in his arms to the side, and shook the big sleeves lightly with the folding fan, and the polite touch was like an innocent little virgin.
"Nasty!" The sisters swept the perverts a few times with their handkerchiefs in displeasure, and turned their eyes to the staircase, showing jealousy in their eyes.
Xingya strolled up to the third floor, and when she looked up, she saw that the room full of people were staring at her. Knowing that she had disturbed everyone, she stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry, please forgive me for disturbing you, I'm just coming up to take a look." You go ahead ......"
As she spoke, she suddenly saw a figure out of the corner of her eye, her face suddenly turned white, and there was a rare flash of panic in her beautiful eyes, so she could turn around and go downstairs, but she almost collided with the housekeeper who ran up in a hurry.
Hearing a loud 'bang', the sturdy figure jumped directly onto the stairs to block the way of the two, and said with a soft smile: "Miss Xingya, you're here, what are you running." β
Zhao Xian propped up the wall with his hand. The already narrow wooden staircase is tightly blocked. Suddenly I saw this beauty again. He had a feeling in his heart that God was helping me.
The housekeeper's face was bloodless for a moment, and it was over, if it fell into the hands of this bad person, then... She shuddered. The consequences are unimaginable.
"Mr. Zhao Xian. It's a pleasure to meet you......" Xingya's shining eyes also flashed with surprise. Stretched out his right hand and made a handshake gesture.
Zhao Xian was slightly stunned, he hadn't experienced this etiquette for many years, and he almost forgot it. He hurriedly stretched out his right hand to shake it with Xingya Beauty. But I saw that Xingya's beautiful eyes flashed with a cunning color, and a cold light poked out of the water sleeve.
After looking closely, I saw that it was a dagger, about the same size as a fruit knife, and two golden dragons coiled to form a handle, and the dragon eye was inlaid with diamonds at the beginning, which looked extremely beautiful and sharp and should not be underestimated.
Before Zhao Xian could react, Xingya exploded, turned her hand and pounced on the blade in her hand against Zhao Xian's neck. Her beautiful eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire, and she said angrily: "Why are you secretly following us if you don't talk about it?" Are the officials of Daliang all such scum? β
"Hey, hey, hey!" Zhao Xian's martial arts were originally half-, and he could play hard battles on horseback with his strength, and this hand-to-hand kung fu really can't be seen. Under the miscalculation, this seemingly harmless beauty stopped, he raised his hands very spinelessly, and said helplessly: "Miss Xingya, you'd better let go of me, I have a lot of bodyguards, and they won't show mercy to your subordinates." β
Yue Jiheng's face changed abruptly, and he hurriedly called the guards at the window. Side was also shocked, ran to the staircase with fat steps, and said anxiously: "Miss Xingya, don't mess around, although the young master asked me to follow you, but I have no bad intentions, it is my personal idea to take you to the Guild Mansion to warm the bed for the young master, of course, the young master did not refuse......"
"Whoa! Can you die if you don't talk much? "Zhao Xian, this bastard thinks I'm not dying fast enough, right?
"Oh~" The talents in the audience had an epiphany in an instant, no wonder this beauty suddenly became angry, it turned out that Zhao Xian's family was powerful and wanted to kidnap others. Such a beautiful beauty, the important thing was ravaged by the high horse Zhao Xian for a few days, I don't know how miserable it will be, I heard that in Kyoto Zhao Xian this guy kidnapped the daughter of the imperial doctor, and he didn't change his life when he came to Wuchang......
This bad guy really didn't have a good heart, Xingya was angry and angry when she heard it, and asked with a red face: "I didn't mess with you, why did you secretly follow me and have bad intentions towards me?" β
Zhao Xian was tall, and Xingya could only stand at the height of the stairs and grab Zhao Xian's collar and hold a dagger against his neck. But in this way, her whole body was attached to Zhao Xian's back, Zhao Xian felt that the two soft lumps behind her were soft and greasy against her back, and the silk and silk fragrance rushed in to avoid it, and the feeling was simply wonderful.
As long as this girl doesn't kill me, it's actually nothing to threaten her. Zhao Xian chuckled and said: "You came all the way from Northern Qi, I am afraid that you will be in danger before I send someone to follow, don't be suspicious." β
The housekeeper saw that Xingya's posture was very disadvantaged, and let this bad guy take advantage of it, and opened her mouth to reprimand angrily: "This Wuchang is the most dangerous for you, if it weren't for you, we would have fallen into such a situation, let us leave, otherwise your General Zhao will die." β
Yue Jiheng listened to a few words, and thought that he also understood the cause and effect, so he stepped forward to dissuade him: "This young lady, Xiaosheng Yue Jiheng, my father is Yue Pingyang, and he guards several cities around Wuchang. The edict of the first emperor will definitely not be embarrassed by the common people, I guarantee in the honor of my father, as long as the young lady releases Brother Zhao, I will immediately send someone to escort the girl to the family. β
"Wait." Zhao Xian stopped Yue Jiheng's words and said, "Miss Xingya, since you know me, you should know my identity. I am the heir of the Da Liang family, as long as you stab the dagger down, the strongest shield of the Da Liang can collapse, this is tantamount to pie in the sky for Northern Qi, are you willing to give up such a good opportunity? β
Everyone was stunned for a while, and Yue Jiheng suspected even more that Zhao Xian had lost his mind and gone crazy, in case this beauty really thought of this stubble and assassinated the only heir of Zhenguo Gong, it would be tantamount to a slap in the face for Da Liang. When the time comes, the An family will fall apart, and my father may become the new general of Zhenguo, and I will become the son of the new Zhenguo Gong......
Yue Jiheng's body twitched slightly, he was frightened enough by his thoughts, and lowered his head again and again and said secretly: Bah, the Duke of Zhenguo is in danger without the beam, what is the use of having a position when the country is gone?
No matter how beautiful Xingya is, she is just an ordinary woman, she stabbed to death the future general of Daliang Zhenguo in exchange for her life, no matter how you look at it, Northern Qi has made a lot of money. As long as this woman has a little courage and the heart to serve the country, this knife will be stabbed, and everyone's hearts can't help but raise their throats.
Xing Ya's beautiful eyes turned, and through the hazy veil, she could also feel the confusion on her face, and she couldn't guess why Zhao Xian died like this. The dagger in her hand tightened, there was no meaning of consideration in her eyes, she poked her head out to see Zhao Xian's expression, and could only look at his sharp side face, with a few hints of good-looking smiles. (To be continued......)
