Chapter Seventy-Seven: Pretending to Invite
The second master was helped up, and when he turned around, he saw Yun Jingyao, he walked over in three steps and two steps, and said dejectedly: "Lord Wang, how can you have spare time to come here?" β
Hearing this, Yun Jingyao said, "What's going on here? β
Such a big fire is definitely more than one person or two people arson.
The subordinate next to him grabbed the conversation and sighed: "Back to the prince's words, a group of masked black-clothed people came just now, and as soon as those people came up, they didn't care to let go of the burning martial arts gate, and our people went to stop them, but they were all injured." β
"Do you know who those people are?"
The person who asked was Su Mujin. The second master glanced at her, and his expression was a little solemn. Although the Seventh Prince sent someone to invite her, just to find a way to use her to let the regent prevent this disaster for him, what he never expected was that she did not come, and the prince also acted in advance.
Thinking of this, the second master shook his head, "The matter of our martial arts sect, presumably the prince already knows about it, right?" β
On the day of the competition, the emperor came, and as soon as the emperor came on the front foot, the martial arts door on the back foot was copied to the sky. It is said that the reason why the emperor came that day was because he invited him. If he hadn't known about this beforehand, I am afraid that it would not have caused today's tragedy.
The more he thought about it, the more angry he felt, and the second master clenched his fists tightly and forcibly held back his desire to have a seizure.
Yun Jingyao said: "What if you know, what if you don't know?" The matter has come to this, with the character of the prince, I am afraid that he will not let go of Wulinmen. Now that the vitality of the martial arts gate is greatly damaged, it is very likely that it will be given up by the seven princes, and without the seven princes behind their backs, the martial arts gate may not be able to hold out for a few days. β
"What do you want to say?"
"Give the martial arts gate to this king."
Dare him go to such great lengths to suppress the Wulin Gate, in order to take the Wulin Gate for his own use? The more I thought about it, the more angry I felt, and the second master snorted coldly, "The prince's family has a big business, and our Wulinmen Temple is small, I'm afraid we can't accommodate your big Buddha." β
While talking, many officers and soldiers suddenly came on both sides of the street, and as soon as these people came, the second leader closed his mouth.
Yun Jingyao said: "You think about it." β
As soon as he finished speaking, Lord Fu Yin quickly ran over, looking at the fire in front of the martial arts gate, he gave an order, and all his subordinates immediately rushed up to put out the fire.
Lord Yin Bai saw Su Mujin from the crowd at a glance, and he subconsciously wanted to retreat, but after retreating, he coughed unnaturally, then stepped forward again, hugged his fists at Yun Jingyao and said, "Lord Wang." After that, he asked, "Why are you here?" β
Yun Jingyao glanced at Fu Yin and found that he still looked a little good-looking, because of this, when he thought that this person was once Su Mujin's childhood sweetheart's fiancΓ©, he felt a little unhappy in his heart.
Therefore, when Lord Bai asked him, he only replied lightly: "If you want to come, you will come." β
Want to come? Lord Bai was choked by his inexplicable words, and was a little speechless for a while. He nodded with a pretending to be aware and said, "Presumably the prince was passing by, so he came." β
Pass by? Yun Jingyao snorted.
"I just don't know who this arsonist is." After speaking, he looked at the second master who was standing silently on the side, and said, "This son, but the head of the martial arts sect?" β
The second master nodded reluctantly and asked, "What do you want to ask me?" β
"Do you know who set the fire?"
It's this question again, the same question, and the second master doesn't want to answer it a second time, especially if he knows who did it, he can't say it.
Because the emperor's martial arts gate is under the prince's door, if he sues the prince, the fire is so big, sooner or later it will reach the emperor's ears. In case the emperor suspects that the prince is burning the Wulin Gate, he specially sends someone to investigate, and then involves the seven princes, but it is difficult to say.
Therefore, this time, even if he was unwilling, he could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. Thinking like this, he said: "Just now there were fireworks in the house, I don't know whose Kongming lantern fell into the yard, and the fireworks were detonated, and the fire accidentally caught fire, causing you trouble, I'm really sorry." β
If it was just fireworks, how could it be possible to cause such a large fire? And when he came, he saw a wounded man coming out of it, and the wound was still a knife wound.
However, Wulinmen has suffered such a big loss, but it is still unwilling to confess people, I am afraid that the people behind it are extraordinary. It's not something he can afford.
After being an official in the capital for many years, Lord Bai has long learned to turn a blind eye, he nodded and said with a smile: "It's just an accident, it's okay if people are fine." β
The fire came and went as fast as it came, and the fire was already nearing its end, but after a while, the fire was brought under control.
Seeing that the fire was under control, Yun Jingyao turned around and said, "Since it's okay, let's go back." β
Su Mujin's eyes narrowed slightly, she nodded, and did not speak. Today, the Seventh Prince said that she had something to ask her to talk about, and she didn't have time to tell Yun Jingyao that now that the Wulin Gate had been destroyed by the fire, she was a little unsure whether the Seven Princes' words would be counted.
"Mrs. Su, wait a minute." The one who speaks is the second in charge.
Yun Jingyao turned around, looked at the second master, and asked, "What are you waiting for?" β
The second master clasped his fists with both hands, and said respectfully: "Back to the prince, the grass people have a few separate words that they want to say to Mrs. Su, I wonder if the prince can make it convenient?" β
Hearing this, Yun Jingyao frowned, and suddenly felt a little unhappy in his heart. What is there for a man not to say to his wife in his face?
He just wanted to refuse, but Su Mujin pulled his sleeve and shook his head at him, "Wait for me here." β
After speaking, Su Mujin walked to the second master and followed him to a remote place. The second master walked to a secluded and uninhabited place and said, "Mrs. Su, the master sent someone to look for you today, why didn't you come?" β
Was it for this?
Su Mujin said: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, because there is a holiday, and besides, your master didn't tell me what he was looking for me, so ...... I didn't come. β
They came as soon as they called her, and what did they take her for?
"I see."
The second master arched his hand and said: "Our master is looking for you for a very important matter, and the master said that the matter is related to the question of whether to stay in the martial arts gate." To go or not to go, no matter when, is counted. β
Stay on the martial arts gate? Didn't the Seventh Prince want to rely on her hand to keep the Wulin Sect alive? Her only strength, I'm afraid it's only Luoyun Villa, could it be...... Did the Seven Princes know her identity?
But the question is, she is Yun Jingyao's person, isn't telling her the same as telling Yun Jingyao? In that case, why did he go to such great lengths to tell Yun Jingyao directly?
