Late at night, go to the capital.

The city gate had been lifted, and there were still many people coming and going in the streets, most of whom were walking very fast because they were looking forward to going home, but Jiang Rong was very drunk, and came out of a liquor store, and staggered down the street alone.

These days, he lives in the palace of the state prince, which is freer than living in the palace, and no one cares where he goes, how much wine he drinks, and how much sorrow he dissipates.

"Ask about the world...... "Jiang Rong just read it, raised his hand and slapped himself lightly, and said to himself, "Didn't you say that you don't want to?" ”

He said yes, he said yes to himself three days ago, and he made it clear to his uncle that he decided to fulfill her happiness.

He wants to be a good person, a good person, a person who makes her always happy and never sad. He can't take it by force, let alone let her child lose his father, then she will hate him for the rest of her life.

Jiang Rong drank all the wine in the pot, and his heart was inexplicably happy. Obsession with this kind of thing is to lock the shackles in the heart, which is heavy and heavy, and letting go is a kind of relief.

He passed by a shop that had closed, pointed to the pillar outside the door and said, "Gu Chuyu, you listen to me, you have to be good to her for the rest of your life, otherwise this king will not be able to spare you!" He closed his eyes and sighed, and he smiled again, "Villain, I can't give in vain, I want to be your son's godfather." ”

Jiang Rong raised the wine jug and poured it into his mouth, but the wine in the jug had already bottomed out.

He put down his hand and was about to walk forward, when he suddenly saw a lot of people standing in front of him, and he couldn't see how many they were, anyway, there was a wave of people in black, all with knives in their hands......

Half an hour later, the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Mei Xiaoren and Gu Chuyu sat opposite each other by the window, both of them were disturbed by the "sword light and sword shadow" on the chessboard.

Mei Xiaoren asked while playing chess: "I heard that an envoy of a subject country has left Beijing ahead of schedule, or was he angry?" ”

"The envoys of Wuzhu said that they were treated coldly in Shangjing, and the rewards they received were not as many as those of other countries, accusing Daning of looking down on them, and they had left Beijing yesterday in a bad mood."

Mei Xiaoren was curious: "If there is such a thing, what does the Ministry of Rites say?" ”

"The Ministry of Rites gave an excerpt to explain this, and only used four words to describe the envoy's practice."

"What?"

"It's okay to find something."

Mei Xiaoren couldn't help laughing, "It's all a subject country, and Daning doesn't expect them to do anything for Daning, there is no reason to favor one over the other." ”

The window was open, and a cool breeze swept in, dispelling the stuffiness of the summer night, and after a while, Xingyun's voice came from outside: "Master, the slave has something important to report." ”

"Come in."

Xingyun pushed the door in, stood behind the screen and said, "Master, half an hour ago, His Royal Highness King Yu encountered an assassin on the street, and I heard that His Highness was seriously injured. ”

Mei Xiaoren just picked up a chess piece, his heart clenched, his hand also paused, and he frowned and asked, "How can there be assassins?" ”

Gu Chuyu asked, "Where are the others?" ”

"It has been sent to the Duke of Wei nearby, and the imperial doctor is treating it, I heard that Ye Zhi passed by and saved King Yu's life, but Ye Zhi himself was also seriously injured."

Mei Xiaoren's hand inadvertently let go, and the chess pieces slipped from her fingertips, and they flicked a few times on the chessboard, with a crisp sound.

Gu Chuyu's gaze swept over her fingertips, he picked up the chess piece and took a step for her, and asked, "Where is the assassin?" ”

"Escaped, the forbidden army is searching all over the city."

"Passing Moon."

When the bright moon was in the sky, Li Qingqing was still sitting on the high wall with Liuyue.

Liuyue was drinking, she looked at the stars, and she found that this person was not drunk like a thousand cups, even if she talked to him now, he could answer very soberly.

"Governor, are you here every day?"

"It's not every day, it's always one or two days a month."

"The rest of the time?"

Liuyue glanced at her and said, "Is there always a day or two here, and you treat me as if I am idle?" ”

Li Qingqing leaned on the stack, sat with his knees crossed, and asked: "Then what if I'm bored on weekdays, you are all wooden people here who don't speak, I don't know anyone except you, who can chat with me?" ”

Liuyue thought about Li Qingqing's words as a problem, and said to her seriously: "I really have someone you know here, I'll give you a waist card when you go back, if you feel bored, go to the prison to find him to talk to you." ”

"Who?" Li Qingdian held his chin with his hand, full of interest.

"Gao Jingshu."

She immediately frowned, "How is he!" ”

"You hate him?" Liuyue laughed a few times, "It's easier to hate that, you can do something else, such as slashing him a few times, or sprinkling salt on him, in short, how to be happy, how to relieve anger, how to come." ”

Li Qingqing shook his head and said angrily: "I don't want to see him, that person is so disgusting!" ”

"The Grand Governor." A Xuanyi guard ran to him with a token and said, "Governor, His Royal Highness King Yu was assassinated by an assassin, and the master has an order to order the Governor to enter the city immediately to arrest the assassin." ”

Liuyue took the token in one hand, picked up the sword in the other, and responded with a "obey the order", saying that he would leave.

"Governor, be careful." Li Qingqing shouted behind him.

Liuyue stopped and looked back at Li Qingqing.

He has no relatives or friends, no one has ever told him this before, even if he wants to go to the sea of swords and fires, and his life is hanging by a thread. He raised his hand and waved it twice, saying goodbye and reassuring her.

Liuyue led the men and horses to the outside of the capital and saw that the city gate was tightly closed.

In the past, the city tower was the territory of the forbidden army, and the city gate was guarded by the officials of the Shangjing Government Bureau.

No city gate in Daning can close the people of the hidden platform, and the same is true today. Liuyue held the token of the Prime Minister's Mansion, even if the forbidden army saw it, he had to obediently open the city gate.

They entered the city to inspect and found that only the forbidden army was patrolling around the city, and there was not a single official in sight.

The subordinates were puzzled: "Governor Dadu, why don't you see the people from the Shangjing Government Bureau, even if Your Majesty allows the forbidden army to enter the city, it should be to assist the yamen in the search, why did they isolate the main master?" ”

Liuyue sneered: "Lord? Let them take a good look at who is the right one! ”

The wind and grass in the capital have never been able to hide the eyes and ears of the hidden platform, and the moon does not need to investigate in person, less than half an hour after entering the city, there are subordinates who come to report the details and clues.

The gates of the city would be keyed at night, and the group of Assassins was still in the city, and there were as many as ten of them, some of whom were wounded, and no matter how much they hid, they were still turtles in the urn.

Liuyue led the men and horses through the night and went straight to the west of the city.

To the south-west of the city is a place of slum settlement, which is very different from the prosperity of other places.

The place was densely packed with shacks, and was so crowded that there was only one alley leading to it, which was so narrow that it could not be crossed by horses.

Liuyue led the people into the house on foot, and searched the depths of the alley along the blood stains on the ground.
