Chapter Ninety-Three: The Assassin

Zhao Chengyan has three courtyards, and Zhao Ying is the one who can enjoy it the most, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he picked the Tangquan courtyard on the mountainside on the outskirts of Beijing.

It was built for the emperor when he was still alive.

It is said that Zhao Chengyan was weak when he was young, and it was not enough to practice martial arts all year round to exercise, and the first emperor was afraid that something would go wrong with this second son, so he ordered people to build a Tangquan courtyard in Miaofa Mountain on the outskirts of Beijing as early as possible, and prepared it for Zhao Chengyan.

There are 13 large and small hot springs in the courtyard, all of which are live hot spring water, which flows continuously throughout the year, and is the most nourishing and pleasant.

Zhao Chengyan was stingy, and he didn't ask people to come to his Tangquan Courtyard, and for more than 20 years, only when he was sixteen years old when he opened his teeth and built a mansion, the first emperor and the queen mother indulged him and accompanied him to the Tangquan Courtyard for two days.

Later, only Emperor Zhaoning and Empress Feng came once, three years ago, His Royal Highness the King of Jin fell on a horse and injured his leg, and he also came to him to soak in the hot springs for two days, and the rest was gone.

Zhao Ying: They left for the city early in the morning.

Zhao Chengyan's carriage was at the front, she and Song Leyi sat in the carriage at the back, and Song Huaiyong sat in front of her head with her head high.

Song Leyi couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart, but also was a little afraid of Zhao Chengyan, moving left and right, and since she left the city, she didn't know how many times she asked Zhao Ying: "Is His Royal Highness King Yan really not unhappy?" No one has ever been to his Tangquan Palace. ”

Zhao Ying couldn't help rubbing her ears: "Cousin, just spare me, I listened to you all the way, and my ears were going to grind out calluses." ”

Song Leyi stuck out her tongue and made a grimace: "In the end, our Yuan Yuan has a big face, His Royal Highness King Yan is so spoiled by you now, even the Tangquan Courtyard is willing to take you there, and I agree that you will take me." ”

"It's so boring to go to the hot spring alone, if I don't pull you, I won't go."

That's not a pride to say.

Song Leyi reached out to pull her: "Can we stay in His Highness's courtyard for a few more days?" ”

She is also a playful person, she has seen and played in the capital since she was a child, and there is nothing new for a long time.

She hasn't had the opportunity to go outside for a walk over the years, and Zhao Chengyan's Tangquan Villa is already a very novel place for Song Leyi.

However, Zhao Ying seemed to have thought that she would have this question, and took the trouble to fold her fingers and calculate: "I only have three days off every month, although I am lazy and don't go to court, and no one dares to say anything, but I am a new official, so it is not good."

Is Chen Shide's case concluded? How many days can I hide? Today is my day off.

If your cousin likes it, let your cousin stay with you for two more days? I'm just afraid I won't be able to. ”

Song Leyi was amused by her serious appearance? endured and endured, but then I really couldn't hold back? simply laughed out loud, and also laughed and bent over: "I don't dare if you let me live longer?" I'm still afraid that His Royal Highness King Yan will beat me out? I didn't dare to delay the order of the lord to do errands, and if I missed a serious errand, wouldn't it be a crime that deserved death? ”

"Bang-"

"Bang-"

The joke just fell to the ground, and the delicate and rising tail note hadn't had time to be completely contained? Zhao Ying didn't have time to hold people? Song Leyi's body was unstable, and the whole person crashed into the carriage on the right.

She slammed her left shoulder into it with a muffled thud and a gasp and sob.

That hit hard, and a layer of cold sweat immediately stole from her sideburns? Even the tip of the nose leached a thin layer.

Zhao Ying stabilized her figure before hurriedly going to see her, only to see her covering her left shoulder? His face was full of pain.

Zhao Chengyan traveled, was he escorted by the soldiers of the Yan Palace? But strangely, the sound of swords did not rise.

Zhao Ying was relieved, but she was a little angry.

Liu Rong sent a letter to the palace? Say there will be action in these two days? But I didn't say when.

Even if he wants to do it? I should have let me know in advance!

Today was originally a good day, and their group happily went out of the city to go to Zhao Chengyan's other courtyard to relax, but Liu Rong, a bastard, jumped out and stirred up, and now he hurt Song Leyi!

Zhao Ying gritted her teeth, and subconsciously wanted to call Xu Yan.

When the words came to his lips, he took them back first.

Liu Rong came alone, so there was no need for the soldiers of the Yan Wangfu to go to get people, and he might not be Liu Rong's opponent.

This is why there is no sound of swords, guns and halberds colliding outside the car.

That Xu Yan Bacheng has already handed over to Liu Rong.

Sure enough, not long after, Song Huaiyong came on a horse and called Yuan Yuan in a deep voice.

Zhao Ying held Song Leyi with one hand, moved half a minute to the car window, and opened the corner of the curtain with the other hand: "Are you okay?" ”

Song Huaiyong's face was gloomy and ugly, and when he saw that she was fine, he asked Song Leyi again.

Zhao Ying pursed her lips: "The carriage stopped suddenly, and my cousin crashed into the carriage, probably hurting her shoulder." ”

His face was even more ugly.

But now outside the city, Xu Yan has captured people alive, and there are more important things to do in the future.

Zhao Ying's plans to let Liu Rong go back that day were all told to Song Huaiyong, and he understood it in his heart.

But he was blocked by Liu Rong like this, and he also injured his sister, and he couldn't be happy.

Zhao Ying looked at him, afraid that he would be depressed, so he wanted to persuade him: "When he returns to the palace, his cousin can beat him." ”

Song Huaiyong glanced at her angrily: "Since he took someone in broad daylight, he can't be escorted back to the palace for private trial, His Royal Highness means to return to the city immediately, and the other courtyard will not go, let Xu Yan escort someone to accompany you back to Dali Temple, he will enter the palace to face the saint, face the matter, and the rest of the matter will be done according to plan." ”

Of course, she knew that Zhao Chengyan would take care of everything for her, looked at him, and looked back at Song Leyi: "Let's send my cousin home first." ”

Song Leyi pressed her shoulders and shook her head: "This matter of yours is more important, don't take care of me, send you back to Dali Temple first, and I'll borrow your carriage and horse to go home." ”

·

The carriage of the Yan Wangfu and the driving of Princess Yongjia went out of the city early in the morning, and they returned to the city by the same way after half an hour.

But there are good things, and those who like to join in the fun, have found the difference.

In the queue of accompanying guards, there was an extra man in Xuanyi, with a handsome face and a cold expression, and there was a man behind him......

There are even those sharp-eyed, or the little ladies who sought after him when Xu Yan's fame was at its peak in the past recognized that face.

The crowd didn't know who was the first to exclaim.

"Isn't that Xu Yan of the Xu Commander's family!"

"It's really him, it's really him—Xu Yan! Xu Xiaogongzi! ”

"Xu Yan-Xu Yan-"

"Didn't Xu Yan betray the Xu family a long time ago? He's a deviant traitor. ”

"You know what, people have the ability!"

The corners of Xu Yan's mouth twitched, and he endured it for a while.

The most impatient thing for him is to deal with such a scene, which is extremely boring.

Song Leyi's most painful time has also passed, although his left shoulder still hurts faintly at this time, but it has improved a lot: "I remember that Xu Yan was admitted to the martial arts champion back then, and when he went out, he was also in the posture of throwing fruit and winning cars, I really didn't expect that all these years have passed, and now when he appears in front of people, he still has such a posture." ”

Zhao Ying sighed twice: "His face was born to recruit people." ”

Whoever made him give birth to a favorite face of the little girl's family nowadays, and he was born in a famous family and has extraordinary skills, even if he is just a concubine, it will not affect anything.

It's like Shen Mingren.

Everyone in the capital knew that Shen Dianchen didn't value him in the past, and he might not even want to see him, otherwise why did his son-in-law stay in his hometown for so many years?

But now that he has changed, isn't he still the number one noble son in the capital, and even the names of Xue Xianting and Song Yunjia have been suppressed?

It's because he was born well, and it's because he can act, pretending to be a beautiful son, and no one can compare to him.

It is not surprising that Xu Yan is sought after.

There is always a rebellious and unruly in him, and it is difficult to make him smile, but he can't stand someone who eats this set.

However, Zhao Ying couldn't understand Xu Yan.

If he is unwilling, in fact, such a thing as arresting Liu Rong does not have to fall on him.

But he walked in the midst of the accompanying guards with dignity, and he would not have imagined the scene at present.

At least he was willing to stand in the sun, at this moment.

So what was the awkward thing before?

It is said that a woman's heart is a needle, and in her opinion, Xu Yan is almost the same.

is out of the effort, Dali Temple government arrived.

Song Huaiyong came over on a horse, got Zhao Ying out of the carriage, and gave her a few more instructions before borrowing her car and taking Song Leyi back to the house.

Zhao Ying leaned over to Zhao Chengyan's carriage: "Uncle Huang will enter the palace now?" ”

Zhao Chengyan didn't show his face, sat in the carriage, and hummed sullenly: "It seems that Xu Yan is planning to consider you." ”

Zhao Ying's eyelids lifted, and the corner of his eyes was just able to sweep to the place where Xu Yan was standing: "I already knew that he was willing to follow me, but the dead duck has a hard mouth." ”

She said complacently, and hurriedly said again: "Uncle Huang just cares about Liu Rong's affairs, as for Xu Yan, don't speak for me in front of your father." ”

Zhao Chengyan was about to lift the curtain and tell her a few words, when she heard that her outstretched hand stiffened in mid-air, and she simply took it back: "I know, you go." ”

After he finished speaking, he knocked on the carriage, and Changting understood, so he drove away.

Zhao Ying looked at the direction in which the carriage was leaving, and always felt that Zhao Chengyan's tone was unpleasant for a moment.

What is he upset about?

Sure enough, it's still the most difficult to serve, cloudy, moody, hum!

Zhou Yan and Li Chongzhi brought people with them when they heard the news, and the two of them were taken aback when they saw Xu Yan standing beside Zhao Ying in such a grand manner.

Zhao Ying rubbed her eyebrows, and casually pointed at Liu Rong, who was thrown on the ground by Xu Yan: "Take him down first, detain him alone, no one is allowed to approach him without my orders." ”

Li Chongzhi was in charge of the edict, but the interrogation was still in Zhou Yan's hands, so he didn't move, but poked Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan understood, and took two steps forward: "Do you need to send more people to guard you?" ”

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ying shook her head and said that there was no need: "Just take it to prison as usual, and there is no need to send more people." ”

The two looked at each other, and since she had ordered it, they just did it.

followed Zhao Ying for a while, and her temper and behavior were indeed almost the same.

She is a person who does not like to be questioned, and even less like to be disobeyed.

What is assigned, even if you have doubts in your heart, you can just do it, if you really can't get over the hurdle in your heart, it doesn't matter if you ask, but don't have to brush her mind and do it against her.

Zhao Ying still had something to ask Xu Yan, so he sent the two of them to take Liu Rong down first.

Zhou and Li's eyes were cast in the direction where Xu Yan was standing, and they tacitly instructed someone to mention Liu Rong to Dali Temple, and they didn't ask any extra words.

Zhao Ying's name was Xu Yan, and when they stepped into the mansion and their figures were getting farther away, they took a step and went up the steps.

Xu Yan followed behind her, not in a hurry: "Your Highness wants to ask me, why did you suddenly figure it out today?" ”

Zhao Ying paused slightly, glanced back at him, and then continued to walk forward: "The scene when you entered the city, did you think of it?" ”

The person behind him was silent.

Zhao Ying didn't rush him.

When he walked out to the land where there was a stone's throw away, Xu Yan snorted: "I often think these days, His Royal Highness King Yan and His Royal Highness, are you for your own selfishness?" ”

Zhao Ying still didn't speak, and Xu Yan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief behind her: "I don't think so." Whether it is His Royal Highness King Yan or His Royal Highness, they are all thinking about Xu Yan's future.

Although I used to hate people saying 'for your own good', Your Highness knows that after all, my own hard-earned future has been ruined by these four words.

But I can't really be a bad guy. ”

In his heart, he still rejects the road that others have arranged for him.

Zhao Ying didn't know how he came over when he was young, maybe he had been living on the path that Xu Zhao had planned for him since he was a child, until one day he wanted to "rebel" from Xu Zhao and took the martial arts championship, but he still couldn't escape Xu Zhao's control.

The rebellion in his heart and his disgust with others dictating his life are all rooted in Xu Zhao and the Xu family.

Thankfully, Xu Yan is an understanding person.

Zhao Ying took a deep breath: "Don't worry, the appointment in March, there is still a lot of time, Uncle Huang is not Xu Zhao, I am not, you are willing to follow Uncle Huang, don't you just recognize that Uncle Huang has the talent of the world, so many years have just been Taoguang and obscure, do you think you are very similar?"

After really staying by Uncle Huang's side, day after day, he found that he and Xu Zhao were by no means the same people on the road, so he was more willing to go to Daoshan Mountain for Uncle Huang to brave the sea of fire.

As for me, the March Covenant is like a shackle to you.

I know everything about what you think in your heart, you don't say it, but in your heart you feel that I am the same as Xu Zhao, and even worse, I am even worse than Xu Zhao, because I am persecuting you by virtue of my status as a princess. ”

"Your Highness, I didn't ......"

He was anxious to deny it, but Zhao Ying walked ahead, but suddenly raised a hand and interrupted his words: "Do you think like this, you know best in your heart, I said, let's come to the future, Xu Yan, what's the hurry?" ”

So he was silent.

Pinching people's hearts, Zhao Ying asked herself if she had always done an excellent job.

She turned her head slowly, easily caught a trace of remorse from Xu Yan's eyes, and then pressed down the corners of her slightly raised lips silently: "You go and ask Zhou Yan to see me in the second hall, since you can't soak in the hot spring, you can only do something serious." ”
