Chapter 195: Waiting for the Dead (3)
Tomorrow, the court of Qi will definitely be in turmoil!
Tonight, even if I know that the person who fought with Wuxian at the Xiuming Palace is Chen Wei, I can't expose him, because without evidence, there is no charge. Ah Su has been caught just now, why can she still laugh? What did she mean by the last words? If, according to what Qi Hou said, Kan Zhi can lead three thousand tigers to capture Chen's Mansion tomorrow, then what tricks will Chen Heng use to deal with it? In Linzi City, how will the rest of the Chen clan react?
Uh, I'm so tired, I don't think about it.
I let out a long sigh and put the small saucer in my hand on the ground, and the whole person was lying on the ground.
Qi Hou, Kan Zhi, Chen Heng, and now the Gao family, the Guo family, and the Zhao family, the six forces are entangled, where will the situation lead in the end?
My brain is so dizzy, I can't figure it out. With Hongyun'er here, let him think about it, it will be fine
I lay on the mat, smelled the angelica in the room, and closed my eyes. I don't know how long it took, in a daze, in the chaos, I seemed to hear a woman's cry outside the window. I got up, and with the cry drifted out of the Xiuming Palace, all the way west, past the Dianjiangtai, over the four black pavilions, and into a dark and rancid death row.
Where is this?
The squeaking rats in the corners of the cells and the cockroaches crawling around on the zenith reminded me of the death row in Linzi City, but a voice in my heart told me that this was the dungeon of Qi Palace.
Looking for the woman's sobs, I walked into a small cell.
In the left corner of the cell sat a woman with a disheveled head, her face buried in the palm of her hand, her plain white bedgown stained with blood.
"Asu," I called tentatively.
Ah Su raised her head slowly, blood was dripping from the corners of her eyes, and three pieces of skin and flesh were torn off from the place where the "Qi Jiang Wings" had been pasted before. The terrible wound rolled up to reveal the bloody minced flesh inside, like three blood-dripping "cinnabar wings" attached to the tail of the eye. Tears kept rolling out of her eyes, but the corners of her mouth still had the same smile as before.
"Why did you let her into the palace in the first place? Now she has introduced Zhao Wuxian into the palace! Suddenly, from the other corner of the cell, there was a cold voice from the temple man.
"Didn't you come up with the idea? You said you'd watch her for me! Ah Su didn't seem to be able to see me, and her resentful gaze passed through me and finally landed on the temple's snow-white face.
"Don't argue, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have listened to that woman's nonsense. After she made the poisonous incense, I should follow Xiangye's order and kill her with a sword. "This is Chen Wei's voice, but I walked around the cell and couldn't find his person.
"It's okay, as long as tomorrow passes, my father-in-law will definitely have a way to kill her and Zhao Wuxian" Ah Su looked up at the ceiling of the cell and smiled deliciously.
"What will Chen Heng do tomorrow? What exactly did you arrange? I reached for Aso's shoulders, but my hand went over her shoulders and pressed against the wet wall.
At this time, Ah Su's face suddenly changed to Chen Wei. His face was hideous, and a pair of blood-red eyes stared straight at me: "No, I don't want to wait until tomorrow!" She's here now, I'm going to kill her now! Chen Yi didn't know when there was another blood-stained sword in his hand. I jerked back, and he roared and rushed forward, a sword stabbing him in the chest.
Frightened, I fell backwards, only to fall into the bottomless void.
I sat up clutching my chest, drenched in sweat.
It turned out to be a dream
I looked up at the window, where the torches had been extinguished, and blue-purple sky light poured into the room through the diamond-shaped lattice. In the center of the room, the kneeling figurines flickered with the faint candlelight of the tree-shaped lamp, and the shirtless and senior officials were still buried in front of the sand table, quietly deducing something.
Where was Ah Su taken last night? Will Qi Hou kill her? Will everything in the dream be real?
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, turning my head to look at the shirtless in the center of the room.
As if sensing my gaze, he turned his head and winked at me, then gave me a gentle smile. The senior official also turned his gaze, and finally smiled and patted the shirtless shoulder, stretched long and opened the door and walked out.
"Did you sleep well?" Wuxian put down the vermilion lacquer bamboo stick in his hand and walked to me, lowered his head and brushed the plate on the table and sat down, "Why did you sweat so much?" Is it too hot? As he spoke, he ripped off his robe that covered me, "I saw you sleeping deep last night, and I didn't dare to open the window because I was afraid that the night breeze was too cold. ”
"I just had a nightmare." There was a dull pain in my chest, as if the sword in Chen Yi's dream had really stabbed me.
"What nightmares did you have?" Shirtless brushed my sweaty hair from my cheeks.
"It's nothing, I woke up and forgot about it. By the way, did you come up with something? I forgot to tell you last night that I had already met the Marquis of Qi, and he promised that within three years, the State of Qi would never interfere in the matter of defending the country. ”
"Well, rejoice! We're halfway there. The Marquis of Qi would announce to the courtiers this morning that Chen Heng had plotted to assassinate the monarch, and then capture him and put him in prison. The right prime minister Kan Zhi will lead 3,000 Linzi City defenders and the Gao clan to join forces to control all the Chen clansmen in the city before sunset today. ”
"Announcing Chen Heng's assassination? Have you caught the Assassins? ”
"The person who assassinated Qi Hou yesterday should have been Chen Yi, but we couldn't find him, and we couldn't find any evidence, so we arrested another person from the Chen family as an assassin."
"Is that okay?"
"As long as Qi Hou thinks it's him, who dares to say it's not!"
"So what are we going to do today?"
"I want to protect Qi Hou's safety with me, and all you have to do is go to Dianjiangtai and wait for me."
"Why did you go to Dianshodai?" I asked, holding the shirtless hand.
"Just in case."
"I'm not going! I'm going to pretend to be a temple man and go to court with you! ”
"Are you really sleepy? What are you going to do? Later, if you start to use force in the court, I will give up Qi Hou in order to protect you. When the time comes, your plan to surrender without a fight has failed, and don't blame me. ”
"You scoundrel!" I looked at the pair of fox-like smiling eyes in front of me, and only spit out two words for a long time.
"I'm a scoundrel, you just found out today?" Wuxian twisted my cheek and said with a smile, "There is still half an hour before Qi Hou goes to court, you sleep for a while, and I will send someone to send you to Dianjiangtai later." ”
"What about you?"
"I'll sleep with you for a while!" Wuxian got up and sat down against the wall with his robe, "Come on, I'll make a pillow for you." He smiled and patted his leg.
I found a comfortable position on his lap and lay down, closed my eyes and muttered, "If you really use force in the court later, don't be too reckless." No matter how good a person's kung fu is, he can't stop a group of people. If you really can't do it, just leave Qi Hou behind and run by yourself! ”
"Leave Qi Hou behind and run by yourself? Hahahaha" Shirtless touched my head and looked up and laughed, as if I had told the funniest joke in the world, "Okay, okay, go to sleep!" I have taken down the wise instructions of the Son of God. He stroked my hair and closed his eyes with a smile. Soon, the sound of his even breathing could be heard overhead.
I secretly opened my eyes, and the shirtless at the moment was still dressed as a fishmaster. The long forehead hair was tied to the top of the head by a brocade band, revealing a white and full forehead. The dark jade-like cunning eyes were tightly closed, and the pale cyan shadow under the eyelashes made people feel distressed to look at.
He hasn't slept well since the day I was robbed!
After finding me in the Qi Palace six days earlier, he sent Zhang Mengtan to the northern kingdom's fiefdoms, contacted the Gongsun Dynasty of the Chu State himself, and united with his fellow senior brothers, Gao Zhi, to inquire about Kan Zhi's movements, and also planned a meeting with the Marquis of Qi. What others can't do well for a month or two, he can do it in a few days. Of course, there is a capable relationship in this, but hard work cannot be avoided. The day before yesterday, he didn't sleep all night on the night to explore the generals, and after a battle with Chen Yi on the roof last night, he discussed the sand table exercise with the senior officials all night. On a day like today, it is indispensable to work hard. If it goes on like this, no matter how good your body is, there will always be times when you can't bear it!
I looked at the man in front of me intently, and suddenly remembered that when I felt bored last night, I actually wanted to get rid of everything and let him worry about it, and I suddenly felt a sense of self-blame.
About two quarters of an hour later, the voice of the senior official came from outside the door.
Shirtless woke up almost immediately, and I hurriedly closed my eyes and pretended to sleep.
He gently propped my head and put it behind me as if he had made a pillow out of his robe, and then carefully pulled himself out and laid me on the mat.
"Let's go! Have you arranged all the guards in the main hall? Wuxian pulled the senior official out of the door and whispered.
"Ready, just wait for the order from the king, and you can take down Chen Heng."
"When are you going to be out of town? What about the right phase? Today's events" Their voices grew farther and farther away, and at last they could no longer hear them clearly.
I opened my eyes and sat up. Today, above the court, Qi Hou wants to capture Chen Heng alive. Under the court, Kan Zhi wanted to lead the Linzi defenders to conquer the Chen Mansion and detain the Chen clansmen. This is a perilous and long day that has just begun, but I wish it was over now.
I had not been sitting in the room for a long time, when two swordsman-like men came to lead me to the platform. The two of them, one tall and one low, wore a crown on their heads and wore leather armor, and they seemed to look familiar, but they couldn't remember where they had seen them.
On the way from Xiu Ming Hall to Dianjiangtai, I passed through the terrace, and I made a trip back to my room. Toppled screens, scattered clothes, and jugs of water scattered across the mud marks on the cattail mats. It was dark last night, and I only knew that the guards had smashed a lot of things on me when they searched for people, and now I saw clearly in the morning light that the whole room had been changed beyond recognition.
