Chapter 66: Her Retreat

Su Mu looked at the chess pieces on the chessboard fixedly, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

The room was suddenly quiet, so quiet that it seemed as if only each other's heartbeats and breathing, and the occasional explosion of charcoal in the stove, beep.

Shen Dongzhan was still a little stunned for a while, and he didn't understand why she quieted down.

The sudden silence is the most worrying.

There was a loud noise outside, as if something had been split, and as if something had been pushed in, Shen Dongzhan got up, "I'll take a look, don't tear down your yard at that time, and you have to find trouble with my Jinyi Guard." ”

Shen Dongzhan went out, and Su Mu drank tea slowly and methodically.

In my mind, it was the day before the accident at home.

Two cups of tea, one pair of chess.

Coming back to her senses, Su Mu slowly stood up with her support for the table, the injury on her back made her dare not make a big move, and she even walked in the same step, no longer with a straight back as before.

Hunched slightly, she took a picture case from the bookshelf and walked slowly towards the door.

Shen Dongzhan stood under the eaves, looking at the empty courtyard, Nian Xiu and Zhou Nan were fighting.

These two people are like enemies in the world, once they fight, no one will give in, they both do their best, fight hard, and focus on the fastest and most ruthless defeat each other.

But it's a pity that the two of them have about the same kung fu, and they won't be able to distinguish between them at this point.

"Take it!" Su Mu threw the painting box to Shen Dongzhan.

Shen Dongzhan took it casually, his movements were neat and steady, "What is this?" ”

"Maybe when it's critical, I can save your life!" Su Mu said, "The weakness of the old thief is still far away, but ...... It can only be used once. ”

The second time, it didn't work.

Shen Dongzhan didn't know why, looked at the painting box in his hand, and frowned slightly, "If I die, the Jinyi Wei group of dragons will have no leader, and Dongchang will be able to cover the sky with one hand." ”

"Commander Shen was able to recognize this and explained that he was very clear about his position." Su Mu turned his face to look at him.

In the faint light, her pale complexion, if the jade was clear, her thin lips were lightly hooked, and she said cold words, "There will be a next time, you and me...... It's life and death! ”

Either you die or I die.

Shen Dongzhan clenched the painting box in his hand, "So now, can I suspect that you are setting me up?" ”

"I'm not a benevolent church." Su Mu said, "You can try your best to think of me in the worst way, after all, I never do good deeds, and wherever you need to do evil, there is me!" ”

Shen Dongzhan nodded in agreement.

Su Mu is not a good person.

"Year Repair!" Su Mu shouted.

Nian Xiu's heart was shocked, and he suddenly jumped up and landed steadily in front of Su Mu, "Master! ”

"Don't let people think that we are stingy, we are guests when we pass the door, be polite!" Su Mu glanced at him.

Nian Xiu was a little unbearable, "...... master"

"Zhou Nan can fight like this, I'm afraid one is not enough." Su Mu hooked his lips, and his eyes were full of clarity, "I don't know how many more to call, and serve them well?" ”

Nian Xiu grinned at the moment, "What the master said is extremely true, it is the slave who is not well entertained and has lost his manners." ”

"Remember, in the future, when the guests of Jinyiwei enter the door, don't be too rigid and serve them well." Su Mu glanced sideways at Shen Dongzhan's master and servant, "It doesn't matter if you are injured or disabled, Dongchang does not lack these two mouthfuls of food, and you can afford to raise them!" ”

"Yes! ”

Shen Dongzhan tightened the painting box in his hand, looked at Su Mu, who turned his face faster than a book, and a mocking sneer appeared on the corner of his lips, "It's really a long insight!" ”

"Anything else?" Su Mu asked.

Shen Dongzhan turned around and left, without looking back.

"Master?" Zhou Nan hurried to catch up, "Those beauties ......"

"I sent it, don't you know how to send it back?" Shen Dongzhan had a calm face, "Do you need me to say more about this?" ”

Zhou Nan nodded, "I understand." ”

Walking out for a while, Shen Dongzhan looked at the painting box in his hand and hesitated slightly for a while.

"Master, what is this?" Zhou Nan asked.

Shen Dongzhan paused, stood in the alley and was stunned, thought about it, and immediately opened the painting box, it was indeed a painting inside, look at the material of this painting shaft is excellent, and there is a faint fragrance under the light smell, like a small leaf red sandalwood?

"The pearls at these two ends are quite valuable to look at." Zhou Nan stretched out his hand and touched it, "Master, what is the painting here?" ”

Shen Dongzhan's eyebrows condensed slightly, there was no one around, so it didn't hurt to open it and take a look.

Inside, it is the most ordinary picture of a lady.

At first glance, Shen Dong Zhan suddenly felt a surge of blood rush to his head.

Brilliant Pen Scholar?!

"Brilliant Writer?" Zhou Nan was carrying a sword, if he hadn't been able to defeat Su Mu, he would definitely have to go back to seek justice this time, "What does this mean?" Take the painting of a wonderful pen scholar to humiliate us? ”

Shen Dongzhan wrapped his back molars, raised his hand coldly, and made a gesture to throw the painting out of his hand, but at the moment when the painting was about to take off his hand, he restrained his movements again.

Zhou Nan: "......"

Is this a loss?

Or don't lose it?

"Master, this scroll is quite valuable." Zhou Nan thought, otherwise, let's go down the stairs, "Even if you don't want it, let's take it to the pawnshop, I'm afraid it's worth a lot of money, isn't it good to take this money to Hualou to drink?" What a pity to lose. ”

Speaking of Hualou......

Shen Dongzhan turned his head and stared at him suspiciously.

"When you go back to Hualou, can you take your humble post with you?" Zhou Nan hurriedly explained, "The humble duty protects you, in case you get drunk and let those girls take advantage, wouldn't it be a loss?" ”

Shen Dongzhan's face was as black as ink, and he didn't know what he threw out of his sleeves and entered the garbage basket on the side.

Zhou Nan was stunned, "Master? ”

"Go back!" Shen Dongzhan threw the scroll to Zhou Nan and walked back with a cold face.

After a while, someone quietly picked up the things and sent them to Nian Xiu's hands.

Standing in the backyard, Nian Xiu scratched his head in confusion, "Are you sure he lost this?" ”

"Yes!" The people below nodded again and again, "That basket is full of tattered vegetable leaves, it is impossible for Commander Shen to go out with rotten vegetable leaves, although the slave did not see it with his own eyes, but when he heard the movement, it was definitely porcelain." In that basket, there is such a complete porcelain! ”

So, you can't be wrong.

"This seems to be ......" Nian Xiu sniffed lightly at the mouth of the bottle, his brows furrowed tightly, "Golden sore medicine?" ”

Jinyiwei and Dongchang are sworn enemies.

Shen Dongzhan, is he so kind?

"You give this to Dr. Li to see if there is any poison in it." Nian Xiu handed over the porcelain vase, "Don't alarm the thousand households for the time being." ”

Ye still has injuries on his body, so there is no need to alarm her for such a trivial matter.

The people below received the order and immediately left with the porcelain vase.

In the distance, Shu Yun stood with a cane.

I have long heard that Dongchang and Jinyiwei are not harmonious, but I didn't expect it to be true, the situation of Fang Cai can be explained clearly by the word "discord", it is clearly incompatible, and there is a big fight in the yard, which can be seen in the place where others can't see, and the contradiction is even worse.

Su Mu is suspicious by nature, and employing people is also exclusive.

Li Zhong has served Su Mu for many years, and he is the most trustworthy.

"As soon as possible!" The man below whispered.

Li Zhong nodded, took the porcelain bottle and went back to his own medicine house, there is no need to detect any poison, just prove that it is poisonous, it is not difficult, and it is not too difficult.

Innocuity.

No matter how he tests it, it is non-toxic.

Nian Xiu came over at night and entered the medicine house, and before his ass was hot, he heard the result.

"Non-toxic, actually non-toxic?" Nian Xiu was a little unconvinced, "I don't believe that the people of Jinyiwei have such good intentions." Li Zhong nodded, "It should be guarded, but this time, I see that Jinyiwei should have no malice, and it may not be necessary to worry too much, this trip is Dingyuanzhou, and it is a life and death together, in the end, it is a bit of affection." ”

"Affection?" Nian Xiu seemed to hear a big joke, "Look at us and Jinyiwei, water and fire are incompatible, as if they can give birth to love?" I'm worried, he saw the ability of our family's thousands of households, and he was jealous, and he was afraid that the master's ability would be too high, and then Jinyiwei would be defeated in our hands everywhere, so he didn't do anything and poisoned the master. ”

Not to mention, it's really possible.

Li Zhong was stunned for a moment, and when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them raw, "You mean ......?"

"I have to guard against it!" Nian Xiu has a matter, and it is called a convincing rhetoric, "No matter what, you can't let the people of Jinyiwei succeed." ”

Li Zhong nodded, "That's nature, that's nature." ”

"You don't need to tell Senho-sama about this, understand?" Nian Xiu advised.

Li Zhong shook his head, "I don't understand!" This is an adult's business, so why can't you let the adults know? The matter of Dongchang, unless ordered by the overseer, dare not hide it from the Lord of the Thousand Households! ”

"You know what?" Nian Xiu had his own concerns, "If the master knows what Shen Dongzhan has done, and he will be soft-hearted when he fights in the future, wouldn't he have to take the life of an adult?" ”

Li Zhong was shocked, "This ......"

"People like us are soft-hearted...... It's going to be deadly! This is where the worry of the year is concerned.

Others only say that Su Mu, the second-in-command of Dongchang, is ruthless, and kills people without blinking, but they don't know that this devil has a little warmth in his heart, he is always a human being, where can he really be hard-hearted.

"Yes!" Li Zhong understood, "I won't say much, you just have to rest assured." ”

Coming out of the medicine house, Nian Xiu pretended to be fine.

When I went back, my aunt had already helped Su Mu change the medicine again, and Su Mu was sitting on the soft couch drinking the medicine.

"Master!" Annual Ritual Ceremony.

Su Mu put aside the empty medicine bowl, twisted the handkerchief to wipe his lips, and asked indifferently, "How is Zhao Cai's matter?" ”

"If you go back to your master, there are three Zhao Cai on the roster of the palace, but one is old and out of the palace, one has just entered the palace, and the other is dead, so ......" Nian Xiu lowered his eyes and didn't dare to raise his head, "There is no result yet." ”

Su Mu froze, and casually threw the handkerchief on him, "Keep checking!" ”

"Yes!" Year of the jaw repair.

It's not just Zhao Cai, but also that Aunt Song. Why are the two of them so similar in death, but their identities are very different, what is it that connects these two people?

"The person the master said, pay close attention." This range is too wide, and Su Mu himself is not confident that he can find someone.

There is no purpose, there is no goal, and it can only be said that it is attentive.

"Minions understand!" Annual Ritual Ceremony.

…………

Rui King Li Jue was two days later, rushed back to Yindu, the first thing he did when he came back was to enter the palace to face the saint, everyone knew that after Li Jue left the imperial study, the army should go to Dingyuanzhou.

In this regard, the imperial court has long been prepared.

Shen Dongzhan, too, left Yindu on the day it rained.

"Master!" Nian Xiu hurriedly ran in, "King Rui led the army to leave Yindu. ”

Su Mu moved his arm, the wound on his back had already scabbed, and he still couldn't move sharply even by pulling the flesh and skin, so as not to pull the scab and ooze blood again.

"It's impossible to come back without ten days and a half months." Su Mu hooked his lips and sneered, "Shen Dongzhan's departure, life and death are unpredictable, and when the time comes, Jinyiwei may not fall into anyone's hands." ”

Nian Xiu nodded again and again, "Without him, the prince of Qihou, the others of Jinyiwei can't make waves." ”

As soon as Shen Dongzhan left, Su Mu felt a lot more relaxed, after all, staring at the tiger in Dongchang was gone, which could make people breathe a sigh of relief, and even with lunch, she ate half a bowl more.

Sure enough, people are in good spirits at happy events.

However, in the afternoon, Luan Sheng's order came.

Su Mu's brows furrowed, and he propped himself up and went to the Admiral's Mansion.

The spring rain continued, and the carriage stopped in front of the Admiral's Palace.

Nian Xiu held an umbrella and covered Su Mu's head obliquely, "Master, you carefully take care of your feet and the injuries on your body." ”

"Don't worry!" The cold wind poured in, and she couldn't stop coughing twice.

When I entered the house, it was still cold.

Su Mu tugged at the big coat on his body, and pulled the corners of his lips with a little mockery, when people were weak, they really didn't wear anything warm, but they didn't dare to stay, and walked forward quickly behind the little eunuch.

The stove in the warm pavilion had already been warmed up, and the moment Su Mu entered, his eyebrows furrowed fiercely.

"Father-in-law!" Su curtain saluted.

Luan Sheng pointed to the position beside him, "Here, sit!" ”

"Yes!" Su Mu sat down slowly.

Looking at her gentle movements, Luan Sheng's eyes were slightly sick, "How is the injury?" ”

"Get used to it!" Su Mu said it in a word.

Indeed, get used to it.

From childhood to adulthood, I haven't suffered any major injuries or small injuries, and what is this whiplash now?

"If it weren't for this whip, the mission would have failed, and the emperor would have been to blame." Luan Sheng sighed and moved the brewed tea in front of her, "Don't blame your father-in-law for being ruthless, your father-in-law is also for your life." ”

Su Mu nodded, "You don't have to explain, Su Mu knows it in his heart." ”

"Su Mu." Luan Sheng said again, "How did this mission fail?" Are you really, losing to Shen Dongzhan? ”

Su Mu raised his head and looked at Luan Sheng calmly, "Does the father-in-law suspect that Su Mu did something and deliberately let Jinyiwei take advantage?" ”

"It's not, Zuo but someone has seen it recently, Shen Dongzhan has entered your Su Mansion, what do you explain?" Luan Sheng picked up the cup and took a sip.

The mist was thick, and Su Mu couldn't see the change in his complexion clearly.

Luan Sheng has been immersed in the palace for many years, no one has seen him, and he can't guess what he thinks, if he wants to deal with him, he will have to think a lot, and he can't show any horses' feet.

Su Mu knelt on the ground, "Su Mu has no two hearts to Dongchang and his father-in-law, please know your father-in-law!" ”

"I didn't say that you colluded with Shen Dongzhan, I just asked casually, I can't take it seriously, what kind of person you are, my father-in-law still knows, after all, you were raised by me." Having said that, it was just talking, and Luan Sheng didn't seem to have any intention of letting her get up.

Yes, Su Mu could only continue to kneel.

"I was hit hard by Shang Yuan, and I had no choice but to rely on Shen Dongzhan's strength and return to Yindu, but Su Mu did not hand over the real account book, but deliberately made a fake account, who knows that Shen Dongzhan ......" Su Mu hung his head, "It is Su Mu's disadvantage, but Su Mu can make up for it." ”

Luan Sheng squeezed the cup of his hand and paused slightly, "What did you say?" ”

"I didn't get the ledger, but ...... Found the treasures that were hidden by the second prince. Su Mu raised his head, "A large amount of wealth and silk are now in my hands." ”

Luan Sheng put down the cup, bent down and picked up Su Mu, "Get up, don't kneel!" ”

"Yes!" Su Mu's forehead was oozing with thin sweat, and the stinging pain on his back was painful.

As early as when he promised Shen Dongzhan to hand over the account book, Su Mu had already planned a way out for himself.

There are lists in the ledger, and there are hidden treasures!

It's a pity that the back half of the press was torn by Su Mu, so it was ......
