Chapter 114: The Dou Family Falls
Updated: 2014-03-24
Mad woman, mad woman...... These three words kept echoing in Jing Concubine's mind, she had done so much for him, but ......
Jing Concubine's silver teeth slanted slightly, and an inexplicable determination suddenly flashed in her eyes, this kind of determination Qin Yunuan is very familiar with, this is the resolute decision of the person who seeks death after letting go of everything in his heart.
"Stop her, she's going to kill herself." Qin Yunuan suddenly shouted, she rushed in the direction of Jing Concubine, trying hard to pull open Jing Concubine's tightly closed teeth, but it was too late, the poison hidden in the gums had already entered her abdomen, and she quickly reacted, her limbs began to twitch, and the corners of her mouth continued to ooze blood, along her perfectly contoured chin all the way down, dripping into a strange pool of blood.
Her hands kept scratching her face, as if it was extremely painful, and the human skin mask that had been tightly fitting her skin was gradually scratched by Jing Concubine, revealing the ugly scars on her skin, and she didn't know how painful she should have been when this face was forcibly destroyed.
"She won't live." Qin Yunuan said to Leng Changxi, Concubine Jing is the concubine of the third grade of the harem, and now she is quite favored by the emperor, and now she died in Xiangguo Temple for no reason, not only herself, but even Leng Changxi could not give the emperor a satisfactory explanation, plus Tong'er, who was lying next to Concubine Jing and had been dealt with by Dou Xianghuai.
Qin Yunuan frowned, but heard Leng Changxi touch his nose very calmly and said, "Queen Chen didn't want her to live in the first place, and you can't save her." After that, he looked at Dou Xianghuai, who had been watching Concubine Jing suffer and die with cold words next to him, his face was completely unconcerned, only the slightly curled fingertips exposed his inner torment.
"Your concubine is dead." Leng Changxi raised his eyes to look at Dou Xianghuai, his eyes were indifferent as if he was detached from this vast earthly world.
"Concubine?" Dou Xianghuai replied indifferently, "She's just a tool I've used, and it doesn't matter to me at all." ”
Qin Yunuan took over with a smile and said: "If it is really just a tool, then why did Gongzi Dou come to this Xiangguo Temple in the middle of the night just to see Concubine Jing Niangniang, and did not hesitate to risk killing a person who might threaten Concubine Jing Niangniang?" ”
"Third Miss Qin, if I remember correctly, it was your maid who died, or a maid you once punished, and everyone would only think that she was killed by your cane, who would have thought that I did it? As for this woman," Dou Xianghuai glanced down at Concubine Jing's corpse, "It was Empress Chen who killed her, what does it have to do with Zaixia?" ”
Leng Changxi raised his head arrogantly: "Listening to Dou Gongzi's tone, Dou Gongzi seems to think that he can get out of the way, it's really ridiculous." ”
Dou Xianghuai smiled slyly: "Cunning rabbit three caves, Leng Changxi, although I haven't fought with you, I also know your methods, knowing myself and knowing that the other side will win all battles, I am naturally prepared." Dou Xianghuai suddenly stretched out his index finger and put it to his mouth, and whistled loudly, according to his arrangement, in addition to bringing more than 20 guards and a few personal masters, he had already planted nails in Xiangguo Temple, so that the golden cicada could come out of its shell in an emergency.
But immediately, followed by a series of footsteps, it was not Dou Xianghuai's subordinates who pretended to be monks who were planted in Xiangguo Temple, but four columns of archers with twenty people in a row, and after a while, they surrounded this small courtyard.
And the people that Dou Xianghuai worked hard to arrange in Xiangguo Temple were then pushed in by the five flowers, and the person who led the people with these nails was none other than Shang Xianhua, who agreed to belong to the Leng family army today.
Shang Xianhua bowed his hand respectfully towards Leng Changxi and said, "General Leng, the Dou family has a total of nine nails in Xiangguo Temple, of which seven are trainee monks and two monks have been captured. ”
Leng Changxi waved his hand to let Shang Xianhua go down, this time he was able to catch the people buried in the Xiangguo Temple of the Dou family so easily and quickly, it was inseparable from Shang Xianhua's old eyes and accurate experience, it seemed that it was worth Leng Changxi's efforts to invite Shang Xianhua to join.
Looking at Dou Xianghuai's stunned appearance, Leng Changxi obviously enjoyed it very much: "By the way, what did Young Master Dou just say, knowing himself and knowing that he will win all battles?" Oh, it seems that Young Master Dou still doesn't know me well enough. ”
Dou Xianghuai's body trembled, and then shouted: "You don't dare to touch me, most of these local officials and many important ministers in the court are members of our Dou family, and you will move your whole body, if you dare to move the Dou family, you are moving the foundation of Daqi and the lifeblood of Daqi." ”
Leng Changxi looked up to the sky and laughed, how ridiculous Dou Xianghuai's ignorance and self-righteousness were at this time, but Dou Xianghuai was still proud.
"Do you think," Leng Changxi's eyes were cold, "If it weren't for the emperor's intention and participation, how could this plan be so seamless?" Lu Jinghua, who once delivered the news for you, the core guard of the Dou family and the most skilled master, and you, the sister-in-law of the Dou family, let the three of you appear in the same place at the same time, it is really not easy. ”
Therefore, the emperor's recent favor and preference for Lu Jinghua are actually for others to see, firstly, to eliminate the vigilance in Concubine Jing's heart, and secondly, to pave the way for Concubine Jing's promotion to the throne and then to pray for the Queen Mother.
Qin Yunuan suddenly understood, this bureau was arranged in advance from beginning to end, but what about herself? What is your role in this bureau?
Leng Changxi seemed to sense Qin Yunuan's strange emotions, almost at the moment when Qin Yunuan's body trembled, he reached back, held Qin Yunuan's little hand tightly, and held the weak and boneless little paw in the palm of his hand, his ten fingers were clasped tightly, and he used a slight force, domineeringly not allowing her to go away.
On the other side, Leng Changxi raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Dou Xianghuai, whose face was blue and purple, and his tone was already a cold ultimatum that could not be resisted: "Young Master Dou, you have no way out." ”
Dou Xianghuai still wanted to hold on: "This time Xiangguo Temple prayed for the blessing of the Queen Mother's illness, does General Leng really want to make such a fuss that can't end?" ”
"The Queen Mother's illness?" Leng Changxi smiled contemptuously, "Young Master Dou, do you know that the Dou family's failure to get rid of it is the biggest disease in the hearts of the emperor and the queen mother, Young Master Dou, admit it, you have already lost." ”
Yes, he has already lost, from the time he decided to set off from Hangzhou to the capital, from the time when he couldn't hold back his thoughts and thought that he could renew the relationship with the girl of the Lu family who he loved so much, from the time when he risked his life to break into Xiangguo Temple, in fact, he had lost very completely, no, or he had never won.
At first, he just thought that Lu Jinghua was beautiful and could make good use of it, but he didn't expect to pay sincerely, but in the end, he gave up his favorite woman for the benefit of the family and married a lady who was beneficial to the family, and later, when he finally had the ability to control his feelings and destiny, the person on the tip of his heart was no longer what he was at the beginning.
When he was in the wing, he tried to kiss her, just like the light kiss that the two of them secretly tasted the forbidden fruit when the sycamore flowers fell, but her resistance was true, and her dislike was also true, his heart was cold all of a sudden, it seems that his tip is right, her heart has long been given to a person named Leng Changxi, and she no longer belongs to him.
The dead concubine lay quietly on the ground, surrounded by servants and maidservants who had stepped forward to dispose of the corpse, her hair spread out, and her lips were still cherry red, as if she had just fallen asleep.
"yes, I lost." Dou Xianghuai muttered, but his eyes still lingered on Concubine Jing on the ground, and in his heart, he was reluctant after all, "The worst thing I lost was not in your hands Leng Changxi, but in my own hands." ”
Leng Changxi: "You overestimate yourself too much. ”
Dou Xianghuai suddenly smiled coldly, glanced around at the soldiers surrounding him, and suddenly took out a short dagger from his arms and inserted it directly into his heart, ruthlessly, deeply, this kind of courage that dared to penetrate his body did not know where it came from, with a kind of mortal determination, Dou Xianghuai even pulled out the dagger, stabbed it down, pulled it out, stabbed it down, repeated again and again, and splashed out with blood, the scene was extremely cruel.
Qin Yunuan frowned slightly, Fang felt disgusted, and felt a pair of big hands covering his eyes, warm, with a rough texture and a thin cocoon accumulated from years of marching and fighting, this was his hand, warm and full of security.
Leng Changxi turned around and only ordered Shang Xianhua: "Deal with it." ”
"Yes."
Immediately afterwards, Leng Changxi pulled Qin Yunuan out of the courtyard, and walked to a secluded and deep courtyard, it was hard to think that Xiangguo Temple, which has always been known for its grandeur and majesty, would have such a quiet courtyard, which seemed to be specially built for a retired master, the courtyard was empty and with the fragrance of bluegrass, and there was a plum blossom pile for practicing martial arts in the east.
Leng Changxi dragged Qin Yunuan to the plum blossom stake until Qin Yunuan twisted Leng Changxi's wrist away.
Before Qin Yunuan could speak, Leng Changxi first said in a reproachful tone: "Didn't I say it, don't get too close to Concubine Jing." ”
"How did I know that General Leng had such an arrangement, I thought it was ......." Qin Yunuan said the first half of the sentence with confidence, but the second half of the sentence came to an abrupt end. Just because Leng Changxi suddenly approached, he paced slowly, and directly forced Qin Yunuan to a one-person-high plum blossom pile, the cold wooden stake stimulated Qin Yunuan's senses, and the fiery heat in Leng Changxi's eyes that he saw in front of him formed a stark contrast.
"Why?"
"I thought it was ......." Qin Yunuan dragged out his tone, but then, he was ruthlessly covered by Leng Changxi's fiery lips, with a kind of domineering recourse, Leng Changxi pressed Qin Yunuan on the plum blossom pile, licking it repeatedly, and while poking his hand into Qin Yunuan's clothes.
