Returning the Pearls (2)
Without worrying about Huo Yunsheng's side, Xue Ling relaxed a lot. While packing his luggage to go to Xianbei, he took a moment to go to Su Kai's place, wanting to wait for Li Aniu to get off duty. She put a roll of silk thread on her body, thinking that if it was convenient, she could take Lu Wen'an's sword and wrap it around. Last time, Su Yan and Xue Ling broke up unhappily, and it was inevitable that they would be a little embarrassed when they met. Unexpectedly, Xue Ling came for Li Aniu, he didn't know what kind of friendship there was between the two, so he asked a lot: "What is the matter with Brother Aniu?" ”
Xue Ling casually made up a reason, saying that it was the sword book that Li Aniu dragged her to find last time, and found a few new ones and sent them over.
Su Yan remembered that Li Aniu's sword was given by Xue Ling, but he didn't suspect it. It's just that Li Aniu doesn't live here anymore. He joined the royal guard on duty, bent on breaking into a famous hall, and finally caught a few thieves, but everyone was not convinced that he was stained with the light of the champion. As soon as the two were combined, they separated. Now that Xue Ling came to the door, Su Yan proposed to leave the sword spectrum, and when he went to court tomorrow, he could bring it to Li Aniu.
Xue Ling didn't have any sword pedigree on his body, so he had to make up a lie and said that he wanted to see how Li Aniu's sword practice was, so he flickered and got the address, looked for the general, and found that it was more broken than where Lao Li Tou lived, and Li Aniu hadn't come back yet.
The lock on the door is rotten, the hand touches, the rust on the hand, this thing is hanging or not hanging at all, and it is embarrassing that it can still be dangled on it. Xue Ling pushed the door and walked in, looking at the miasma inside, it seemed that there was more than one person. The man's clothes and pants were everywhere, and she slipped out of her peace and picked one up to look at in the wind.
Then he shouted: "What people." ”
It wasn't Li Aniu's voice, Xue Ling raised the rags on the sword, turned around and stabbed it, the tip of the sword hit a hard object, and there was a crisp sound of "clanging", which should be a collision of the same kind of thing. The one who came also drew his sword. The thought flowed in her mind, but she didn't immediately look up to see who it was, her position just now was pierced to the waist, and she was blocked and picked up, and her lower body did not forget to jump up, preventing the opposite side from slashing over, the width of the sword was always only two or three inches, and the person who came was horizontal, should be wide open in the chest.
The eyes followed the sword, facing a bearded and scummy face. She had no intention of killing, and she didn't pierce her skin with her intentions, but only tore her clothes. But it doesn't matter if you stab it, the person who came reacted very quickly, the knife didn't have time to be put away, the scabbard of the left hand was immediately blocked above, it seemed that if Xue Ling didn't take it, his arm would be directly hit, as long as the force was strong enough, when he could let Pingyi get out of his hand, it wouldn't cause much damage.
Xue Ling turned over and landed, took Pingyi behind his back, and looked at the person who came coldly, he should have lived with Li Aniu, and his skills were gone.
Guo Chi looked at the finger-long break on his chest a little incredulous, just now he knew that it was a little girl, he was looking for someone, but he was used to talking loudly, but he didn't expect to run into hard stubble as soon as he asked. It's not like I've never seen a female snitch, but this is a kennel, so there's nothing to steal. Fortunately, he has a knife on his body, and he is used to patrolling the streets, and he can pull it out easily, and if he slows down, he can poke a hole in his abdomen.
"I'm looking for Li Aniu." Xue Ling made a preemptive strike and didn't have time to talk nonsense with this person.
Guo Chi tore the torn place, he didn't have a few complete clothes, and he was really distressed. I heard that he came to find Li Aniu, and he was not too embarrassed, so he could only say: "Then you have to wait for a good meeting, he is on duty during the day, and it is still early." ”
Xue Ling raised his eyebrows and said, "Who are you?" ”
"Whoever can be on an errand together, build a place to live, and who are you?" Guo Chi muttered to himself, isn't it a young lady from a family who chased this place?
Xue Ling didn't answer anymore, picked up a clean place and sat down. Guo Chi scratched his head, he was on duty at night, and he should pick up something to eat. The city gate pawn didn't have much money a month, and the food was naturally rough, a few cold steamed buns with some pickles, he took a bowl and served three or four, and squatted away from Xue Ling to nibble on it himself.
The food eaten by the people below is not fine, and the noodles are also yellowish. I don't know if it's too hot, I bought it in the morning, it's just evening, and some of the ground has mold. Guo Chi was reluctant to throw it all away, so he cut off the bad part and continued to eat. Xue Ling didn't pay attention at first, but when he saw it, he couldn't take his eyes off it. She hadn't seen this kind of moldy steamed bun for a long time, and she endured it again and again, but she still stood in front of Guo Chi.
Guo Chigang raised his head suspiciously, and the bowl in his hand was kicked over, and the remaining two steamed buns rolled to the ground. He would have known that Xue Ling was not threatening, so he took off the knife and put it in the house. Looking at it again at this time, Xue Ling's eyes were full of lust.
Proudly said: "You like to eat this steamed bun so much?" ”
That night, she sat under the tree and stuffed a bag of steamed buns that the beggar had been putting for several days into her mouth, and her throat was blocked.
Guo Chi was inexplicably taken aback, he caught a lot of small ones, and it was inevitable that he would encounter a few of them in his dying struggle, but he had never seen such an evil appearance. The most terrifying thing is not that the tiger eats people, because everyone knows that it is dangerous. The most terrifying thing is that the white rabbit opens its bloody mouth, revealing its green fangs, and the weirdness alone makes you feel cold, just like the girl in front of you.
"Eat....that's the only thing to eat." He subconsciously replied stunned. He and Li Aniu are both masters who eat and drink as soon as they are paid, and in the second half of the month, they are stretched.
Xue Ling looked at the person in front of him stunned, and calmed down again. No, it wasn't the dog at the gate that night, and no one was chasing him at this time. She took a few deep breaths and looked away from the steamed buns on the ground. took out a silver ticket from his arms and stuffed it to Guo Chi and said, "Wherever you go to eat, hurry up." ”
Guo Chi reacted and wanted to get the knife, pinching the silver ticket, he felt that it was better to ask first, he and Li Aniu were like-minded, and they were friends for eight worships. In case it is a brother or something, he will be embarrassed in the future if he offends. How much more is it for nothing...... And when he looked at the silver ticket, it was worth two or three years. Afraid that Xue Ling would regret it, he didn't ask anymore, pinched the silver ticket and took the knife, and disappeared.
When Li Aniu came back, he saw Xue Ling sitting on the steps, holding half a steamed bun in his hand, and he didn't know what he was thinking. But his face was not very good-looking, and he shouted tentatively: "Miss Qi San..... ”
Xue Ling didn't answer, and didn't come back to her senses until Li Aniu walked in front of her, looked at Li Aniu, and smiled reluctantly: "Brother Aniu." ”
Li Aniu was very happy and said, "It's really you, Ah Yan said that Lord Qi moved his family away, I thought you were also gone." It would already be hazy at night, and he hadn't seen Xue Ling a few times, and he didn't dare to recognize it if he didn't see it just now. Seeing that Xue Ling was still holding half a steamed bun in his hand, he smiled awkwardly and said, "When did you come, Brother Guo can't let you eat this." ”
Xue Ling also smiled, threw the steamed bun on the ground and clapped his hands, "No, I'm coming to see you, have you eaten?" ”
"You're coming to see me"? Li Aniu asked in disbelief, grabbed the shuriken a few points and said, "Not yet, I eat casually with Brother Guo, I invite you..." ”
"No need, let's go, I'll invite you. You call that person, Brother Guo? ”
"Then I will send the moon silver and then invite you back, Brother Guo and I are on duty in the same place, how many years older than me, we both worshipped and lived here together, he didn't embarrass you, right?"
Xue Ling took out the silk thread and pinched it in his hand, walked in front and said, "No, I just want to see how your sword practice is, and it's not much to see when it's late." You are Su Kai's eldest brother, and naturally my eldest brother, what's wrong with inviting you to dinner." This place is really broken, and the smell is very strong. However, Li Aniu moved away from Su Kai, and she was very happy. Although Su Kai's actions are difficult to suspect, he is a merchant on one side and a royal forest guard on the other. It is inevitable that Wei Long doesn't have much thought. Li Aniu's life is also a person who can't stand up to investigation. Now, although the relationship with Su Kai can't be completely washed away, it's not so eye-catching.
Li Aniu was also very happy when he followed behind, and said, "I will be on duty at night next month, you come over again, and I will show you." He is interested in martial arts, the heavy sword is handy, and the sword spectrum given by Xue Ling is basically exquisite, plus he eats by the sword every day, and he studies hard and practices hard, so he naturally has a small achievement. Among the errands, it can be regarded as outstanding. After speaking, he felt that he had overstepped Xue Ling over a bit, and said: "I don't know where the third lady lives, I should have come to visit, but I don't know where it is inconvenient." ”
Xue Ling suddenly felt a little strange when he heard him, and the place where he lived was not convenient for walking around with people. In case Li Aniu is put in front of Wei Long this time, it is better not to tell him for the time being, so he lied: "I live in Chen Wangfu with my eldest sister, waiting for a family affair with Jiang Mansion, it is really inconvenient for Brother Aniu to come." ”
There was no sound for a long time, and Li Aniu forgot that Miss Qi San was married to the Jiang family, but fortunately, he had never thought about anything wrong. Rengui knows that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and even if the Qi Mansion moves away, the two are still far apart. It's just that there is a faint loneliness in my heart, and most men and women want to avoid suspicion, and when they become relatives, I am afraid that they will not be able to see each other.
Xue Ling didn't hear Li Aniu's answer, and thought that he had heard that he was a fool, so he talked nonsense again, saying that he would come over when he was free. Li Aniu has nothing else to say except to praise him.
The two followed the sound of people, Xue Ling went straight to Linjiang Immortal, but Li Aniu followed her, not paying attention to the road at all. When I found out that it was a dignitary in Beijing, I was led to a private room on the second floor, which was inevitably a little cramped. Xue Ling didn't find out. As Jiang Hong said, her love and hate are too strong, and her shame is also very deep, and she tries her best to control herself in front of Li Aniu, but it is still difficult to be calm.
When the wine and food came up, the two of them told some interesting stories and drank a few glasses of thin wine, and the situation was slightly better. The topic went from Su Yan to catching thieves, and finally was smoothly led to the matter of practicing martial arts. Xue Ling said: "I saw the basic sword book in the shop again, I wanted to buy it with Brother A Niu, but unfortunately I don't know what you have practiced, I'm afraid it will be useless to buy it, when Brother A Niu is free, I will take you to see it in person, pick up the one you like and buy it." Maybe we'll see if there's anything else to look for."
Li Aniu became interested as soon as he heard it, and said, "Seriously, it's okay now", and said with a sad face, and said: "It's that I don't have any money on me, can you help me pay it first." Ming'er, I'll ask Ah Ya to borrow some money to pay you back. ”
Xue Ling said: "What do you say about the money, it's just that this shop has already closed, and I can't see it when I go, I'm afraid it will have to wait until you take the night shift." ”
"Well, that's really going to have to wait, but it's a pity, I've roughly flipped through what you gave me, just to find something new."
Xue Ling said unhurriedly: "Then how is Brother Niu learning?" ”
"Hehe, it should be okay, a few brothers who patrol the streets are not my opponents, and I also owe your uncle's sword, which is easier than the official sword, when will you take me to see your uncle, I can also say thank you in person."
Xue Ling pinched the silk thread and quietly stuffed it back into his sleeve. Li Aniu is not Uncle Lu after all, since the things have been given, why bother thinking about it. said: "Uncle has long been out of Beijing, you can use it well, it can be regarded as a wish of mine." She put a chopstick sprout in her mouth, and pretended to talk casually about tomorrow's events: "Suddenly remembered that next month, I'm afraid I'm not in Beijing, or I'll accompany you to take a look at the sword book of that family tomorrow?" ”
"I want to go, but Ming'er is on duty."
"Brother Niu is really honest, you are patrolling the streets, aren't you just walking around the street, you are looking there, when I am almost there, you will patrol around the shop, and it won't take long to go in and take a look."
Li Aniu patted his head and said, "You're right, which shop is it, we patrol the streets and have territory, and it's not good if it's too far away." ”
"Yinghua Street, Tao Kee."
"This is the most lively street in Beijing, then it's okay, we are here every day, we go several times a day, when do you come over."
"It's about a moment in time, go out too early to cause gossip, Brother Niu has to wait for me."
"No problem, we're all about to take turns at that point, and we won't blame you for going there."
"The food is cold, let's eat it." Xue Ling pinched his wrist and persuaded with a smile.
declined Li Aniu's kindness to send him home, looked at the street lights, and returned to Xue's house, the silk thread had been pinched and somewhat deformed. Xue Ling took it out and threw it on the table, seeing that the road map given by Huo Yunwan was not there. Pick it up and move it over the candle flame. She did what she had to do. As for what the result will look like, it is useless to think too much.
The gum brocade red tent, the willow listens to the dragon, and the flower sucks the phoenix. After the clouds and rain, Wei Long lay down and slept lightly, only to feel that the people around him got up lightly, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that he was taking a hairpin to pick up candles. Turning around, his face was like a peach, with spring in his eyes, and he seemed to be startled by his open eyes, and that little panic was even more tempting. The night was still very long, and he patted half of the bed.
Xue Se lowered her head and walked to the side of the bed, knelt on the bed on her knees first, and then slowly fell down, and Ren Qingsi slid down to cover her eyebrows.
Wei Long said deliberately: "That's it, I Ming'er still has to go to court early." ”
Xue Xue snorted slightly, and couldn't wait to pull the silk with his hand, and as soon as he saw Wei Long's expression, he immediately blushed and buried himself in the quilt without speaking.
Wei Long has been spoiled for as long as the snow has been colored. I like it, it's just such a little bit of what you can pick. I was about to reach in. The person inside suddenly lifted the quilt and hesitated: "The concubine has something I want to ask Your Majesty forbid." Wei Long suddenly lost interest.
It's just that the cheerfulness of these days is enough for him to ask "what's the matter". After asking, people who feel stupid make people feel interesting when they ask for it, and it is estimated that no woman is so uninteresting to come to bed to ask for something.
Xue Se leaned her head into Wei Long's arms and said, "Ming'er is the Summer Solstice Festival, and in the folk, it is also a small day, I want to burn some paper money for my mother." ”
Wei Long's interest suddenly came a little more, he didn't pay too much attention to the identity of the person in his arms, he only knew that it was someone who was sold into the palace, and when he heard it today, the co-author was probably the head of the family who died. The harem is not allowed to burn paper money, and it is considered to understand the rules if you come to beg yourself. People are so strange, she asks for it, but you don't want to give it. She doesn't want it, you think you can reward some.
Although the favor is very much, Wei Long did not give Xue Se a high position, which would have thought that she was going to complain to herself, begging for wealth or something, but she didn't expect to burn some paper money. The color word was the head, and after a few more words, I realized that the mother who depended on each other had died not long ago. Just show mercy and let him burn in front of the grave. Concubines are not allowed to leave the palace in private, but who knows if the emperor sends someone out? Just pick a little bit for the evening and send someone to follow.
The innkeeper opposite Tao Ji bloomed early in the morning, and a group of merchants from nowhere wrapped up the entire store, a package was ten days, and the counter where the silver smashed was banging.
Xue Ling hadn't worn men's clothes so carefully for a long time, and he didn't forget to spend effort in his shoes in order to make his body look tougher. When the hair crown appeared in the Jiang Mansion, Jiang Yufeng was also startled. No wonder no one knew the secrets of the Xue family for so many years, he had been wondering if it was too dark at night back then, and when he looked at it today, there was no flaw at all. Don't say that the body shape and movements, even the expression and accent are all different, and the image is not enough to summarize, it is simply that.
Xue Ling felt that she was unfamiliar, such a thing as falsetto, if you don't use it for a day, it is easy to expose her stuffing, not to mention that she has been useless for so long, so she can only try to scratch her throat and speak, so that her voice is hoarse. At noon, the people who followed the Jiang family turned into business travelers and mixed into the upper floor of the inn, and seeing that the time was almost reached, the group put on black clothes, and the person who seemed to be the leader handed over a pill.
Xue Ling didn't know what he meant, and looked suspiciously at it. The younger one next to him glanced around, and said to Xue Ling with a smile: "Little brother, this is the first time to work?" Eat it, it's good for you. ”
After Xue Ling experienced Qi Shiyan's bowl of white fungus soup, he subconsciously resisted these and said, "What's the benefit?" ”
The man who took the medicine quickly reached out and pinched her mouth, forced it in, and threw down a sentence: "What did the master tell you to do?" ”
When he stretched out his hand, Xue Ling had time to react. It's just that I'm used to slipping smoothly to block, and I didn't slip out after slipping it today, so I remembered that there was nothing in my sleeve. To kill, of course, it is good with a long sword, but I just changed my clothes and put it aside. After a delay, the medicine went into the stomach.
The young one saw her deflated, and laughed mischievously: "Good things, ordinary people can't afford to pay for them." ”
After eating everything, Xue Ling could only give in and ask, "What is it?" ”。 If there was something wrong, she swallowed the life-saving elixir given by Tao Hongzhi first.
"Okay, okay, don't ask, people are guessing it's coming. It's really the first time you've done this kind of thing, isn't it just a free death, and there will be more opportunities to eat it in the future. ”
Xue Ling had never heard of this thing, and the name didn't seem to be a good thing, so he asked, "What is a carefree death." ”
The leader seemed to think she was noisy, and said to the young man, "Don't pay attention to him, it's not ours." ”
"I think he's good, maybe in the future." The young man stood beside Xue Ling and said, "It's poison, but it takes two hours after the poison attack, and before that, it can speed up your heart and lungs, and it's even more powerful." ”
Xue Ling pinched the pill given by Tao Hongzhi and said, "What about two hours later?" ”
"If things go well, I will be back in two hours, and there will naturally be an antidote. If things don't go well, you'll be tortured for two hours at most, you say, is it a free death? The young man asked with a smile.
Xue Ling removed his hand from the pill and stood by the window staring at the street downstairs. She didn't even know the Assassins were doing this. It is indeed well thought out, if someone is caught, death is a relief. Two hours is enough, and today is just a pretense, this group of people should only live freely.
The scene on the street is not much different from usual, but on the summer solstice, there are shops burning some incense and candles in the corner of the wall to pray for the end of the year. Tao Ji is also lively today, Tao Hongzhi should have just come back, and it is rare to stand in the lobby.
Xue Ling had already seen Li Aniu walking back and forth around Tao Ji with four or five people, and he thought it was funny. The man who came in whispered, "The Lord is coming." The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.
Xue Ling also took his heart and looked at the street, a carriage came slowly, not very conspicuous. Three or four followers are also ordinary, but the two tassels on the car door are ingenious and made into snowflakes, exactly the same as Huo Yunwan agreed.
What is strange is that Huo Yunsheng followed behind, not far or close, Xue Ling didn't know how Huo Yunwan arranged it. But seeing that Huo Yunsheng was cautious, he seemed to be quite afraid of the carriage, and he couldn't help but feel more worried, in case Huo Yunsheng would pretend not to see it, it would be over, and he would have known that it would be safer to deceive himself.
Xue Ling grabbed the long sword in his hand and waited with the others for the carriage to go downstairs. She didn't have to participate in the hands-on, but Huo Yunwan said more that day, "It's not good to coax Wei Long out, do your best, I don't know." ”
She asked several times who it was who left the palace, but Huo Yunwan avoided answering. The more mysterious and curious, in case it is really Wei Long in it. The result of the discussion in Jiangfu was that the fake drama was really done, and Huo Yunsheng simply killed him if he didn't save people. In this case, there is such a thing as opportunity, once there is one more, why waste it.
The snowflake spikes on the carriage could already see the fine lines, and the four of them flew down. Several guards following the carriage reacted instantly, and immediately made a mess. The pedestrians around screamed and scattered, and Li Aniu and a few people were dozens of steps away, first stunned, and immediately shouted, "What kind of person, dare to be a street murderer"! Trotting closer this way.
The Lone Star secret road is not good, and the people in the carriage are taboo when they go out of the palace. This place is in the middle of the city, if you leak your identity, you can't explain it when you go back, but there are a lot of assassins, and there is nothing to be done about being entangled all of a sudden, I just hope that the lord inside has some brains.
The smile on Xue Ling's face was fleeting, and he pulled the cloth up to cover his mouth and nose, and went straight to the carriage, and the long sword split the carriage in two. The two masters and servants who were huddled together inside were exposed to broad daylight, shouting desperately, and a side face was enough to turn everyone upside down. Xue Ling was just stunned for a moment, the blade of the sword did not change, and he went straight to the throat of the delicate lady.
Li Aniu had already arrived, and he was just in time to open Xue Ling's sword. Pulling the colorless snow behind him, he pointed at Xue Ling and said, "Where is the villain." The patrol of the city had already followed, and several people were firmly surrounded.
The little maid seemed to have confidence and shouted: "My wife is the snow lady in the palace, these people are assassinating the royal family, you should take it quickly." ”
Xue Ling didn't know how Xue'er in Mei Niang's house turned into a car and sat in this carriage. It's just that Huo Yunsheng didn't appear. A few pawns are not worth mentioning, but Li Aniu has really learned something.
The little maid seemed to be afraid that others would not know, so she desperately shouted "coming". It's a pity that Lone Star is entangled and can't be separated, otherwise he would have cut this girl first.
After Xue Ling's temptation, the movements in his hands suddenly became anxious. Li Aniu is only a few months old, how can he compare to Xue Ling's more than ten years of skills. In the blink of an eye, he was forced to retreat, and he did enough to do the show, Xue Ling's heart was ruthless, the long sword passed through his chest, and Li Aniu's blood poured to the ground like a spring.
Xue Ling had already thought of Huo Yunwan's purpose. If Huo Yunsheng came out, he would send him back to make Wei Long suspicious, and if Huo Yunsheng didn't come, he would let Xue Se die on the spot, completely ending the Huo family's idea of going back. The maid shouted so loudly just now, probably someone arranged by Huo Yunwan.
The whole street knew that there was a lady in the carriage, Huo Yunsheng was close at hand but he didn't save him, even if he didn't die, it would be impossible to get back the position of the commander of the Imperial Forest Guard. With Huo Yunsheng's character, when he appeared on the street, he probably wouldn't bet that others wouldn't find him nearby.
Xue Ling stepped on Li Aniu, who couldn't die from this injury. Either kill Xue Se, or Huo Yunsheng will come out immediately and she will leave. Make it.
The maid was still shouting, "This is the palace lady, you are going to be connected to the nine clans." Xue Ling still has blood on his sword, and the fate of one side is just the edge of one side. She closed her eyes for a moment, hoping she didn't see too much.
The sword didn't cut the flesh and blood, Huo Yunsheng still stopped in front of him, but fortunately, Xue Ling opened his eyes quickly. Otherwise, she would inevitably get hurt, she didn't want to fight Huo Yunsheng here, and she retreated quickly. In addition, a large number of royal guards have begun to surround them, and it is normal to run away, and as soon as they whistle, they will tell a few people to go.
Just as Xue Ling thought, Huo Yunsheng watched for a moment and decided to come out. He didn't expect that his father's news was wrong, that is, Yun Wan's news was wrong.
It was definitely impossible for him to follow the carriage that came out of the palace for no reason, but early in the morning, his father received a letter saying that the emperor seemed to be secretly going out of the palace to see someone, and he specially found a concubine as a cover, and there were not many people with him. As far as the Huo family is concerned, what Wei Long is doing now is worth watching, and in the end, it was decided that Huo Yunsheng would come and see it for himself.
Mainly thinking that since Wei Long is inconvenient to make a big show, even if he is discovered, he will not be too embarrassed, after all, there is always a way to come and go in Beijing, and the emperor has no reason to investigate deeply, so he even deliberately wore civilian clothes. This way is very normal, and the situation is the same as what the letter says, simple clothes, three or four entourages, all the way to the suburbs, which can't help but make him more curious, where is the emperor going.
Unexpectedly, there was an assassin on the way, and he was still thinking about whether to appear, and he found that the car was not the emperor, but a concubine. The concubine went out of the palace alone, which was really muddy waters. Let's not say what went wrong, but it is inconvenient for me to participate, there has been a gap between the Huo family and the emperor recently, and my father advocates a tougher attitude, he is afraid of making a fuss about this matter, and Long Yan is even more angry.
I wanted to take a look and make plans again, but I didn't expect that only one of the few entourages had good skills, and the few who patrolled the streets didn't need to be mentioned, seeing that the so-called mother was going to die on the spot. After thinking about it again and again, I had to stand up. There are many people on the street, and if someone recognizes them, they can't be washed away. The two powers are equally harmful, as long as you catch an assassin and torture the mastermind behind it.
He saw that Xue Ling and the others were leaving, and said, "Just leave one." ”
Lone Star knew Huo Yunsheng, and he didn't shy away from it, and said, "Listen to Young Master Huo." Anyway, the maid shouted so loudly that it was pointless to cover it up.
Xue Ling rolled into Tao Ji with the momentum, and the frightened guys scattered and fled. She hoped that Huo Yunsheng would chase her, but this time she couldn't do so. Huo Yunsheng protected the snow, and the lone star entangled a person, and several guards rushed up, regardless of the others who fled.
After waiting for a while, Xue Ling saw that there was still no one behind him, so he could only leave first.
When Huo Yunsheng cleaned up the mess, Li Aniu was really angry, and the few who patrolled the streets with him had already stopped the bleeding for him. Lone Star took out a bag of silver and threw it down, "Take it back and take a look." ”
After this incident, naturally there was no way to go out of the city, and the carriage broke down, so Lone Star sent someone to buy it, and helped the snow-colored master and servant to the inn next to it, which was already surrounded by the royal guards. The maid pulled Huo Yunsheng and didn't let go, and said with a frightened face: "Young Master Huo, you must escort my mother back to the palace." ”
Lone Star stood aside and watched the guards grab the innkeeper and ask questions, and the group of merchants were naturally all driven downstairs. I couldn't ask anything for a while. Fortunately, there is still a job to deal with. The Secret Guard always does everything, including showing women to the Emperor. He glanced at the snow, not knowing whether it was good luck or bad luck. If it's good, you can't touch it, if it's bad, at least you won't lose your life here, and you probably won't be able to lose it when you go back. The emperor is a good-looking person, and if he allows his woman to leave the palace, he will find a way to cover it up. It's that little girl, stupid and unaware.
Xue Ling found a secluded place to take off his coat, and wanted to go back to Xue's house sooner, but his tongue was feverish, and he remembered that he still had a loose death in his stomach, so he could only go to Jiang's house first.
Jiang Yufeng was already waiting, but he didn't see those people. Xue Ling didn't know if they were all gone, so he asked after taking the medicine. Jiang Yufeng pointed to the box on the table and said, "There is one more." ”
Xue Ling looked at it, just like the antidote she had just taken, and was speechless for a while. She doesn't care about human life at all, let alone taking people's money, but just like facing the snow, there is always a moment of stagnation in her mind to overcome.
I still don't know why this habit is, obviously, she doesn't care.
"Find a set of maid dresses in your house." Xue Ling reached out to remove the hair crown, no one in Beijing knew him, but his daughter's identity was always safer. It's better to change it in Jiangfu and go back.
Jiang Yufeng also knew this very well, and went out to give two orders to his subordinates. came back and said, "What do you think Wei Long will do with this matter?" ”
Xue Ling also picked off the fake Adam's apple stuck to his throat, threw it on the table and said, "I guess Wei Long's dog wants to kill him in his heart, but on the surface, he wants to confess Huo Yunsheng." ”
"Are you going to Xianbei next?"
"Yes". Xue Ling untied his belt, felt that his breathing was easier, looked at Jiang Yufeng and said, "But don't worry, I always have to wait for the result and see the effect today, so that Huo Zhun can get closer to Tuoba Mill first, so as not to be suspicious in the future." ”
What Jiang Yufeng sent to bring was not a subordinate clothes, but a set of daughter's dresses with exquisite workmanship, and I don't know where it came from, but it didn't match her size, it was slightly smaller. Xue Ling tossed in the back room for a while, feeling that he couldn't breathe when he was wrapped in his body, so he didn't have time to stay in Jiangfu to eat, and naturally he didn't run into Xue Li. But when she walked out of the gate of Jiangfu, she suddenly thought of Huo Yunwan's matter, and she panicked very much.
Whether the queen's position is good or not, I'm afraid that most people say it's good, but Huo Yunwan just thinks it's not good, not only does she feel bad, but she also hates to regret it quickly. Today, I thought I was helping Li Aniu wholeheartedly, but I didn't ask him if he wanted it. What if he didn't want to trade that sword for Pingbu. The more Xue Ling thought about it, the more anxious he became, regardless of the ill-fitting clothes on his body, he made a detour to Li Aniu's residence. There was no one inside, and there was no Brother Guo. She thought that she should not be fatal to do it herself, but she was not sure in a hurry. No matter where the injury is, excessive bleeding will also kill people, did those people come to save Li Aniu? Is it a little heavier to step on the back of your head?
She suddenly felt that she had returned to the fishing village of Ming County, looking at the red sky burning from the fire, but she couldn't do anything.
Huo Yunsheng had already arrived in the palace with the carriage, and he didn't want to follow, but the little maid kept asking that he was just a courtier, and the concubine's order could not be disobeyed. In addition, the guard was also pleading, saying that he couldn't afford to wait for another problem on the road. He hadn't seen this guard, and he didn't know which palace it belonged to, but it was the emperor's person, and it wouldn't end well if he offended. I had no choice but to go to the palace gate.
The little maid is naturally Huo Yunwan's person, and she is not stupid at all, some people know that they want to die, and they are happy to die. It's been so long, but he hasn't turned a corner today.
And Lone Star dragged Huo Yunsheng, naturally hoping to take more responsibility, it was not a fault to be assassinated, it was a fault to expose his identity. Dora alone, her own fault is smaller. What's more, this matter is clear, who spent a lot of effort to assassinate a harem concubine, or an inconsequential lady.
As soon as King Chen died, Wei Long and Huo Yunsheng hadn't seen each other for a long time, and this would take care of each other, and the two of them didn't mention it in their hearts, and their faces were still warm. Wei Long said: "Yunsheng, don't come unharmed."
Huo Yunsheng replied: "Your Majesty, long life is boundless. ”
Wei Long pretended to say: "I have been a faint gentleman, and I will laugh when I see it."
Huo Yunsheng begged to retire, saying, "Your Majesty's family affairs, the courtiers don't dare to discuss it." I'm afraid that the person who came didn't mean to be a mother, but fortunately, there is a living mouth, and after the trial, the water will be implemented. ”
Wei Long was a little surprised, but he didn't expect to have a living mouth. When the person who had just come down reported the time, he was thinking about things after only a few words, probably because he missed it.
Xue Se is the palace maid in Huo Yunwan's palace, although she has paid attention to it recently, there seems to be nothing to do with the two. However, there are always places in this house that are beyond the reach of the eyes and ears. It was so coincidental that the person sent by the queen was going to leave the palace, so coincidentally, someone assassinated, so coincidentally, the queen's brother happened to be present. The whole world who shouted knew that the young master of the Huo family had saved a mother. So many coincidences have allowed the Huo family to catch up. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it's true.
But having a living mouth is another way of saying it, and after tasting the seventy-two torture instruments in the prison, you can always ask something. Could it be that coincidental?
Let Huo Yunsheng retreat, buckle the table twice, and Lone Star stood up in a cold sweat. As soon as he came back, he naturally came to report to his master, but Huo Yunsheng came quickly, and he didn't have time to report them one by one. Anyway, today's incident was very thorough, and my life and death were unpredictable.
Wei Long asked first: "Is there a living mouth?" ”
Lone Star said: "Yes, Huo Yunsheng's order, don't chase others, just catch the mouth, the martial arts of the people who come are not weak, and it is difficult to deal with one of them.... ”
He was about to continue, but Wei Long interrupted him and said, "You pushed it fast, how did you expose your identity." ”
"The assassin killed someone next to the mother, and the little maid thought she was frightened."
"Dead?"
"It should not be dead, the little one is still angry when he leaves, but it is difficult to say that there is too much bleeding."
"There happened to be someone patrolling the streets, and Huo Yunsheng happened to be there."
"The younger one has commanded someone to investigate. The living mouth was also interrogated. I'm afraid that there will be people who think that you are in the carriage. ”
"That's it, I'm careless, go check that little maid too, you can do it." Wei Long rarely admits his mistakes, firstly, the living confession did not come out, and secondly, if someone is calculating, it is normal for his subordinates to not guard against it.
Lone Star let out a sigh of relief, just missing the maid, and now that he thinks about it, he shouted a little deliberately. Fortunately, the master did not embarrass himself. Just as he was about to do it, a little eunuch hurriedly ran in, and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, it's not good, all the people in Xue Niang's womb were killed by the concubine, and the lady also..."
"Concubine?" Wei Long hurried to the Yaoguang Palace, the snow color was low, so naturally he couldn't divide the palace. At the beginning, he guarded against the queen Huo Yunwan, so he randomly chose a concubine to live in the palace. Just now I was guessing if Huo Yunwan was doing a game for Huo Yunsheng and Huo Zhun to do it, but I don't know what kind of excitement his good mother was making. He intuitively felt that there was something wrong with the little maid, and the people in the palace would not know the sin of the concubine leaving the palace without permission, and they were still shouting on the street, I was afraid that it was not so simple. This will say that he is going to die, saying that no one wants to kill his mouth, and a three-year-old child probably won't believe it. But this hands-on person shouldn't be a concubine.
Wei Long was still a step too late, and the corpses of several subordinates in the Snow Palace had all been bruised and purple, and the seven orifices had bled to death, and the corpses had not been disposed of. Xue Se knelt on the ground and trembled, and when she saw Wei Long coming, she only glanced at it with pleading eyes, and didn't even dare to shout. Concubine Shu sat in the center of the hall, holding a bowl of tea, and did not squint. Wei Long bowed down and asked for peace for a long time, and then shouted lazily, "No courtesy, if the mourning family is really safe, I won't come here to see these pickled things this big night." ”
Wei Long looked at the snow color kneeling on the side, regardless of whether she colluded with others or not, but this meeting could not be handed over to others, and when it came out, where was the majesty of the emperor? said: "It was my son's fault, and it has nothing to do with the color of the snow." ”
Concubine Shu had an angry face, and said: "You feel sorry for her, the emperor accepts a concubine, marries virtue and idleness, but the heirs of the harem are withering, and you like it, and the mourning family will not stop it, it is good today, run to the street, and let all the people see the royal jokes." Ming'er is in the court, and I don't know how the ministers criticize the law, what face do I have to incense the first emperor. ”
"What the mother taught me is that my son is confused."
"Confused? How could the emperor be confused, it wasn't the troubles caused by these harem women, those non-stop words, the mourning family cleaned up for the emperor, the emperor's own people, the mourning family kept it for the emperor to deal with by himself. Whether it is poison or Aya, the emperor chooses one. It ended earlier, Ming'er mourned the family and lost face, and admitted the crime of ineffective management of the harem, so as not to say that the emperor was absurd and unreasonable. ”
Wei Long knew that because of the Huang family's affairs this year, there were many discords between mother and son, but he would not be so aggressive tonight. What's more, the matter is related to the assassination, and it should be investigated clearly, but the mother concubine just wants the person concerned to die, and even kills all the people below before she comes, just for the word "reputation", it is really difficult to make sense.
He still had to save the person first, and said: "Mother, the snow color is also a piece of filial piety, and the son can't bear it." ”
"A piece of filial piety? She has a piece of filial piety, the emperor has it, there is this incident in the harem, the mourning family is still there, I am afraid that no one will say that the queen's rule is not strict, but that the mourning family is immoral, how can the emperor call the mourning family to deal with themselves? Concubine Shu placed the tea bowl on the table beside her.
At this time, there are subordinates on the side, even if it is his biological mother, he must be called an emperor. Concubine Shu was openly angry, and Wei Long's tone was also a little more responsive, and said: "Mother, someone dares to assassinate the royal family, and the son has to make a conclusion after careful investigation." Xuese was allowed to leave the palace by me, and the blame was not on her, and I asked the queen mother to let her son for a few days, and she would definitely give an explanation to the concubine. It's getting late, so please go back first. ”
Concubine Shu paused and said: "Okay, the emperor is older, and the mourning family can't be closed, so tomorrow I will give the queen all the affairs of the harem, find a Buddhist room to stay, and it will be clean." With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.
Wei Long's mouth moved, and the sentence "Congratulations to the mother concubine" was not fully pronounced, and his body stood even straighter.
When Concubine Shu walked away, Xue Shi trembled and shouted "Emperor".
Wei Long instructed the eunuchs who followed him to clean up the ground, let the snow get up and go to the house together, changed his soft smile from the past, and said with a cold face: "Who knows about your leaving the palace." ”
Xue Se fell to her knees again and didn't dare to raise her head, trembling: "No... Nobody knows. ”
Wei Long accentuated his tone: "Are you sure?" The people in the palace."
"The emperor promised it last night, and the concubines were happy in their hearts, and they wanted to give more to their mothers... Mother's preparation... I have never been out of the Yaoguang Hall today, and I have never seen anyone. I have never told my subordinates about it, and I went out with a green .....". Xue Se couldn't help crying, Fang Qing had just been the first to die, and she didn't dare to stop it, and she couldn't stop it. "Fang Qing....I don't know... Where to go. ”
This kind of thing will be known as soon as it is checked, and it is not like lying to see Xueshi, Wei Long thought for a moment, could it be that Xuese mentioned it before, so that people with a heart noticed it, he asked, "What about before?" Can you talk to someone about this? ”
"Also... Nor never. Sisters and sisters in the palace are... I don't like concubines. ”
Xue's identity is too low, and he has been spoiled a lot recently, and Wei Long also knows a thing or two about the harem situation, and he can't find any suspicions, only Huo Yunwan is left
"What about the Queen? Have you been to her lately, what did you say? ”
"I've been there many times, it's the queen who has rewarded things, and the concubine was her slave and maid, and she thanked her in the past, and there is no more."
"You think about it first, what is missing Ming'er and then talk to me." Wei Long couldn't ask anything when he looked at the snow, this stupid was sometimes fatal.
He was about to leave, but Xue Se crawled over and grabbed the corner of his clothes and said, "Your Majesty, I don't dare to stay here." As he spoke, he looked out the door in panic.
The corpses outside had actually been moved, and there was nothing left. But it was the first time Xue Se had seen so many dead people, and this Yaoguang Hall was empty, and the only thing he could count on was the emperor in front of him, lest he would leave himself here.
Wei Long was bored in his heart, his liking for beauty was true, and it would be too serious to say that he was sinking. If this matter was not Xue Se colluding with others, he would have treated her as stupid and endured it. If it is found out, I am afraid that it will be happier for the Queen Mother to die. But no matter what, he wasn't in the mood to coax a fool here tonight, no matter how beautiful it was. didn't even give a word, and left the Yaoguang Hall directly.
The lights in the Yongchun Palace were not extinguished, Huo Yunwan fiddled with a delicate box, took out a handful of golden melon seeds and slowly sprinkled them back, listening to the crackling sound was particularly pleasant. It is on the tuyere, and it will take some time before it can be sprinkled into the hands of the person who should be sprinkled.
Dead people can't speak, but they can bite, you have to find a high Taoist to seal, the highest in this palace, only Concubine Shu. However, fortunately, she has not yet been immortalized, so she sent such a dead man to make a pill and eat it, and it was complete.
The news that Xue Ling wanted came quickly, although Huo Yunsheng was not officially reinstated, but he only had one more sub-word, and the current commander of the Imperial Forest Guard was also a member of the Huo family, so there was nothing wrong.
And the lady who made a lot of noise, instead of entering the cold palace, became a model for the people. Without him, only filial piety.
When Wei Long returned from the snow, the people below came to report that he had died of poison, and coincidentally, Young Master Huo was also present. Since then, the human and physical evidence has been clean. The owner of the inn outside the palace and the caravan had no problem, and they could only be released after being closed for a few days.
No matter how you look at it, there is something wrong with the Huo family, but the concubine is involved. What's more, on the second day of the court, Wei Long thought that the people of the Huo family were the most violent, probably forcing himself to return the power of the Imperial Forest Army to Huo Yunsheng. This would also explain the reason for this.
Unexpectedly, it was the Huang family, and everyone said that the snow was immoral, and the harem was in trouble, and it could not be stayed. In fact, it just implies that he is obsessed with beauty and corrupts the superb. At present, Wei Long has to distinguish a few words of self-determination, and filial piety comes first. An orphan girl disregards her reputation and hangs her filial piety for her mother, and I am also a son of man, so I deeply feel her heart, and I have not thought about it for a while, so that people with hearts can make a hindrance from it, and I will be famous for the ages. And only this explanation can stop the mouths of the people.
After all, that group of people walks the way of Confucius and Mencius, and worships etiquette, benevolence and filial piety.
Sure enough, they looked at each other, and no one spoke out to say no, and it was inevitable that they would all say people's common feelings, and it was inevitable that they would finally propose that it would be better to be open and honest, so as not to spread false rumors among the people. Wei Long thought so.
If no one says that the position of the Queen Mother has been vacant for more than three years.
Now that the former queen has gone, she should be regarded as the queen mother of the current emperor and enjoy the blessings of the world. Since the emperor has the intention to promote filial piety, it is better to lead by example.
"Yes, let the Ministry of Rites draw up a title, and then choose a good day and an auspicious day, and ask Concubine Shu to be the queen mother. Gudjesugung Palace. ”
The eunuch shouted: "Nothing to retreat~".
The people below knelt down, and Wei Long could only see the top of the hat above, and the people of the Huang family should be one-fifth.
It's not that simple. No wonder the subordinates who were in a hurry to give death to the first palace of Yaoguang Palace that night were waiting here? Now that she is forced to take the position of the queen mother, does Ming'er have to think of a trick to listen to the government?
The ceremony had to be prepared for some time, but the Ministry of Rites acted quickly, and in the afternoon, several titles were sent to Concubine Shu to choose. are all auspicious and rich words, and finally set the holy mercy Zhaoshu. On the morning of the second day, when the harem concubines came to ask for peace, they had already changed their words.
The Empress Dowager Shengci Zhaoshu stretched out her hand above and said: "Get up, you don't have to do it, the matter of the Six Palaces is watched by the queen in the end, mourning the family, and enjoying a blessing." ”
Xue Ling received a box, a very precious red gold immersion wood, with its own fragrance, and it could be stained with a big smell when you put it on your fingers, and it would last for a long time. The top owes beautiful jade and gemstones, all of which are worth a lot of money. When I opened it, it was empty, only a piece of the cheapest piece of straw paper, with the word "return the pearl" written on it.
Buying and returning the pearls?
