Chapter 167: Xianggong? I'm here!
There was a frightened scream from the crowd, but Yuezhao ignored this, quickly clamped the man's throat, and dragged the person directly into the alley. In an instant, a good deed came in to check, the alley was empty, there was nothing, and neither of them was nowhere to be found.
When the leader of Luo Zhu arrived with the people, there was no trace.
"It's here, a woman, very fierce, dragged people directly in." Passerby described.
Luo Zhu's head was stuck in his waist, "What kind of woman?" ”
This stumped people, but it was just a blink of an eye, who remembers what the moon looks like? They all shook their heads, unable to say why.
"What do you think?" Luo Zhutou asked.
An Kangsheng was suspicious, "Kyoto City is heavily guarded, and those who can haunt the city at will are either strong in martial arts or have special status, and ordinary people can't have such great ability to disappear so cleanly." ”
"Who do you think it will be?" Luo Zhutou frowned.
An Kangsheng twisted the cheap flower head on the burden, "The material is very rough, there should be no money, it can't be a fortune." People who walk the streets and alleys, this burden is extremely old, and it should have been picked for many years. ”
"The person has found it, but ......" Luo Zhutou hesitated a little, "The place where this person lives is not far from the Fu family." Do you want to, let's go and have a look, maybe you can meet Jin Zhutou and beg for a bowl of water to drink. ”
An Kangsheng sneered, "The prefect's yamen is thirsty for you?" No water to drink? ”
Luo Zhutou followed, "The princess brings tea and water, and the treatment is different." ”
Hearing this, An Kangsheng smiled gently, "I'm not afraid of losing my head." ”
Luo Zhutou is not afraid, Jin Yue's girl disdains to care about this kind of thing, but there is one less Jin Yue in the yamen, and it has been a lot more deserted recently, and she can still take advantage of peanuts in the past, but now she ...... There was only a bunch of stinky men left, sweating together to talk about the girls in the flower building.
Honest and boring.
The man who had the accident was called Du Huai, who moved to Kyoto City two years ago, and at first he lived outside the city, but I heard that he had recently lived here, and began to do a business of walking the streets and alleys. According to the people around him, when Du Huai made money, he went to change wine and drink, and then went out to do business when he had no money.
"Living alone, what stranger comes to the door?" Luo Zhutou turned around and asked the neighbor.
"I've never seen it."
"Where is the place where he goes to drink every once in a while?" An Kangsheng came from the house.
The house where the single man lived was dirty and messy, and there were no valuable clues to be found for a while, but it was indeed certain that this Du Huaiwei was really inhabited by one person, and there was no trace of the existence of the second person in it.
"The tavern just around the corner in front." Neighbors said.
Luo Zhutou nodded, looking thoughtfully at the corner in front of him, "I said, do you suspect anything?" ”
"Everything has a cause before it has an effect, don't you think?" An Kangsheng walked forward, "Luo Zhutou, I found something very strange in the room, do you want to take a look?" ”
Luo Zhutou sneered, "I don't like you people the most, just bite the text and chew the words, you have to pretend to be a ghost, it's better to be happy than Jin Zhutou!" Hurry up and take it out, what did you find? ”
An Kangsheng felt something from his sleeve, "Do you see it clearly?" ”
"This ......" Luo Zhutou was taken aback, and quickly gathered his mind, "It can be seen that this is indeed not an ordinary burden-bearer." ”
The things were turned out under the pillow, a small box of dark darts, there were few, but each one was carefully wiped, clean, and neatly placed in the box.
If it's an ordinary burden-bearer, if you want to use something to defend yourself, people's instinctive reaction is a dagger or something, you can hold it to scare people, but darts are a thing, people who don't know how to do kung fu really can't use it.
What's more, this kind of road, people who are used to the rivers and lakes will be able to use it, ordinary people selling goods, where can they use this!
Closing the box, An Kangsheng put the things in his sleeve and put them away, "If it is seeking revenge in the rivers and lakes, then we don't need to participate, but if it involves others, it will take a lot of effort to investigate." ”
Luo Zhutou nodded, "That's true." ”
There is only one person in the tavern, the place is small, and he is both the shopkeeper and the man. The handkerchief was on his shoulder, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the people in the public gate coming to ask questions, trembling, not like pretending.
An Kangsheng looked around, and Luo Zhutou went to question.
"Don't be nervous, just ask casually, do you know Du Huai?" Luo Zhutou asked.
The shopkeeper nodded, and reached out to wipe the sweat from the corner of his forehead, "He often comes to buy wine to drink, and occasionally he drinks too much, and I will help send it back, after all, he lives nearby, and they are all neighbors......"
"Do you know who he has a grudge against?" Luo Zhutou asked.
The shopkeeper shook his head, "I haven't heard of it, he has always been alone, and he comes here to eat and drink, and he won't say much about it." ”
When he said this, the shopkeeper's eyes stayed on An Kangsheng's body.
Ankang Shengquan didn't know, he would touch this for a while, and he would touch that for a while, and he didn't care about it, as if it was really a routine matter, and he didn't really care. When it came, he just asked, "How long has this tavern been open?" ”
"Since my grandfather's generation, if you don't believe it, you can go to the neighborhood and ask." The shopkeeper spoke without hesitation.
An Kangsheng nodded, and glanced at Luo Zhutou, "Let's go!" ”
"Good!" Luo Zhutou followed.
It wasn't until he walked far away that Luo Zhutou made sure that no one was following behind him, and Fang asked, "Did you find anything?" ”
"Rhetoric." An Kangsheng smiled, "Didn't you hear that?" ”
"It's a little wrong." Luo Zhutou didn't think too much, "Do you suspect that the shopkeeper of this tavern has a grudge against Du Huai?" ”
"He blatantly took people away like this, do you want to open the door to do business in the future?" An Kangsheng asked.
Luo Zhutou's eyebrows frowned slightly, "Are you scaring the snake?" ”
"It's called luring the snake out of the hole." An Kangsheng frowned thoughtfully, "The shopkeeper of this tavern must have a different relationship with Du Huai, and he will contact him every once in a while, and now that Du Huai is missing, I am afraid that this tavern will not be able to open!" ”
Luo Zhutou crossed his hands on his hips, "That's right, let him help us dig out the people behind us." ”
"I still have some matter, you go back to the government first and report this matter to the prefect." An Kangsheng didn't plan to go back with him, and walked in the other direction.
Luo Zhutou frowned, "Hey, where are you going?" ”
"It's a bit of a personal matter!"
Personal?
Luo Zhutou thought about it carefully, since he met this kid, he really didn't hear An Kangsheng mention any private matters, could it be that he found the other half of his life? Oops, this kid is hiding it pretty tightly!
However, this case of robbery on the street has to be solved as soon as possible, and now the Beilan Mission is in Kyoto City, in case of a big trouble, the prefect Yamen is afraid that he will be blamed.
An Kangsheng knew the severity, but now, he was more worried about Jin Yue. Jin Fengnian said that the process of detoxification was extremely painful, and An Kangsheng could not put his mind at ease, but it was not good to enter the Fu family to see, so he could only stand outside the wall.
Blocked by a high courtyard wall, he couldn't see anything, but so what? His sister was suffering inside, he couldn't help him, she didn't need to know his concerns, he just needed to stand quietly, stand here...... The closest place to her.
waited until it was dark, and a dark shadow stood quietly beside him, "Young master? Don't you go in? ”
"What are you going to do in there? Seeing me, she would be even more uncomfortable. If I were her, I wouldn't want anyone to see such an embarrassed and painful appearance, this girl always likes to think about others, for fear of making us uncomfortable, so she hides and detoxifies herself. An Kangsheng sighed, "How?" ”
"It's the hands of the women's army." The Shadow replied.
An Kangsheng was obviously stunned, "Why is this?" ”
How did a picker get involved with the Women's Army?
"The Women's Army is now hiding in the helm of the Soul Leaving Pavilion, and we can't get into that place, so we ......," the shadow whispered, "I don't know why." ”
An Kangsheng pondered for a long time, "That's it, I'll solve this matter myself, don't alarm the women's army, about the shopkeeper of that tavern, keep an eye on it, don't let him make any trouble, it will be difficult to clean up when the time comes!" ”
"Yes!" The shadows quickly fade into the night.
An Kangsheng narrowed his eyes, don't look at the Fu family is the home of a businessman, the defense in the courtyard is not comparable to ordinary courtyards, especially Shangyi Courtyard, last time Luo Zhutou quietly reminded him not to walk around in Shangyi Courtyard.
Taking a deep breath, An Kangsheng strode away, he had to think of a way to suppress the matter of the women's army, and it would not be too late to deal with it after Jin Yue improved. An Kangsheng didn't want to meddle in the affairs of the women's army, his sister, the woman of the Murong family, should be hard bones, and should have the ability and means to be independent.
He believed her.
Dead.
Some people are wailing, and some people are gritting their teeth.
When the door was pushed open, Frost Branch thought it was Mingzhu who had come in, and opened in a choked voice, "What should I do?" The young lady has been unable to eat, and she could drink two sips of water before, but now she will vomit out in pain even if she drinks the water, Mingzhu ......"
As soon as he looked up, Frost Branch straightened in shock.
"Get out!"
"Yes!" Frost Branch hurried out the door, and when she closed the door, she felt that her heart had finally fallen back into her stomach.
Mingzhu stood outside, "What are you crying for?" ”
Shuangzhi wiped away his tears, "It's uncomfortable, and I'm happy, why is Childe back now?" He's not ......"
"I can hide from the first day of junior high school, but I can't hide from the fifteenth, the people of Beilan are pestering the young lady, and the son is not at ease, worried that the young lady will be calculated, and I am afraid that the young lady will have an accident." Jun Shan stood under the eaves, "Since the end is inevitable, why make the young lady so sad?" ”
The dim yellow light, dappled by the wind, shows the cold and lonely color of the winter night.
Husband and wife, naturally, must be in unison.
Jin Yue was delirious in pain, and because he didn't eat or drink, he couldn't use any strength all over his body. Closed her eyes weakly, and for a moment, she wondered, would it be so painful to die?
But she couldn't let go of too many things, so she closed her eyes like this, she was unwilling and reluctant.
The warm embrace firmly encircled her, and in a trance, she seemed to smell the breath of a man, which belonged to Fu Jiuqing...... Familiar breath!
She opened her eyes weakly, and in the dim and faint candlelight, she seemed to really see the face that was like a celestial, with condensed eyebrows and a peerless face.
She smiled suddenly, closed her eyebrows and arched into his arms, her voice was weak, "It turns out that it hurts to the extreme, but it is also beneficial, I can see you when I open my eyes and close my eyes, but it is worth it!" ”
Lips are warm and soft to the touch.
In his ears, it was Fu Jiuqing who gave him an irresistible tenderness, "Now, do you still think it's a dream?" ”
The eyebrows beat suddenly, and the heart also missed half a beat.
Jin Yue grabbed the corner of his clothes with all her strength, trying to open her eyes, but the pain hit, she was so painful that she could no longer see the person in front of her clearly, and could only see a vague overview.
I was in a hurry, and my eyes instantly turned completely red.
As if all weakness had found an excuse for catharsis, she suddenly burst into tears, although she had no strength, although she only whimpered lowly, tears were like beads with broken threads, gushing out of her beautiful eyes, like meteors falling in the night sky.
The pain was so painful that his internal organs were twisted, and he quickly hugged her tightly in his arms, "Cry out when it hurts, and accompany you for your husband." ”
"Xianggong......" she shouted over and over again.
In his throat, there is only a broken moan.
"I'm here!"
She shouted, and he answered, tirelessly.
When she was tired of crying, it hurt so much that she would faint.
The first day passes, the second day passes again, and on the third day it will be much better, and on the fourth day and the fifth day, and then ...... She will have a long life, and even the golden needle that seals the acupoint in her body can be taken out.
At that point, she will be able to protect herself.
For a moment, Fu Jiuqing was worried, if she no longer needed his protection, then she would ...... Will you still be attached to him like this? Can't bear him?
The chin was pressed against her cold forehead, rubbing it repeatedly, gently, gently, so reluctantly, I hated to crush her and merge with myself.
I hope that you will give birth to wings and protect yourself.
I am afraid that you will give birth to wings, and the mountains and rivers will be far away.
The night was dark, there were no stars or moons, only the cold snow wind blew through the roofs, blew over the walls, rolled up the rotten dead leaves on the ground, and fell silently.
In the middle of the night, the wind was blowing.
In the second half of the night, there was a rustling sound on the roof tiles, which was the sound of goose feathers and heavy snow falling on the roof tiles, Jin Yue also woke up at this time, although the pain continued, but she was not afraid of anything now.
Sometimes, having a soft underbelly isn't necessarily a bad thing.
It's a weakness, but it's also armor.
"Xianggong?"
"I'm here!"
She closed her eyes in reassurance, trembling in pain.
Tomorrow, the entire city of Kyoto will be covered in snow, and the beauty will be enchanting.
Tuoba Xi stood under the eaves, wrapped the fox fur on his body, spread out his palms, and watched the snowflakes fall in his palms. The coughing sound not far away continued, and she knew that her father's old illness had recurred.
However, she had no intention of going over.
Dad has been strong for a lifetime, and he doesn't want anyone to see him weak, but the military doctor said it...... He was afraid that he would not be able to hold on for long. Riddled with chronic diseases, avoiding illness and avoiding medical treatment, it is a fatal thing!
"Master?" Yi Nian came out wrapped in his coat, "It's cold outside, you better go back and rest, don't think too much about some things." ”
It's useless to think about it, what should be yours is yours, and what shouldn't be yours...... I can't ask for it!
"Did he sleep?" Tuoba Xi asked slightly.
"Yes!" Yi Nian knew who she was asking.
Sighing, Tuoba Xi walked down the stairs slightly, stood in the wind and snow, looked up at the snow falling from the sky, and smashed it on his face like a blade scraping, painful ...... She is the hope of the Tuoba family, so she will never give up this last chance.
"Actually......" Yi Nian hesitated, "You don't have to work so hard, the Eighth Prince is also very good to you, you ......"
The Eighth Prince?
Tuoba Xi shook his head slightly, "The Eighth Emperor is kind-hearted, but his temperament is too soft, the Nine Emperors are too young, and the lord of the country is unwilling to choose among the young sons, and he is the only one who can save Beilan and compete with Beilan at the moment!" ”
"But what if it doesn't work out as you want?" Yi Nian asked, "Not to mention whether he marries a wife and has children, if he is also a person of mediocre qualifications, do you still want to put all the bets on him?" ”
Tuoba Xi smiled, and looked back at her in the wind and snow, "I haven't seen a gentleman, how can I be sure?" I'll talk about it when I see him. ”
"Then how can you be sure that he is the husband of Princess Yuanhe?" Yi Nian was puzzled, "Is it just that tassel?" Although this technique was taught to you by your wife, what if it happens? There are so many coincidences that it's hard to say. ”
"Yi Nian, what are you worried about?" Tuoba Xi asked slightly.
Yi Nian lowered his eyes, "The slave is afraid of you...... The bamboo basket is empty. ”
"Then I'll admit it!" Tuoba Xi walked slightly towards the room.
Then the next moment, she suddenly lifted the fox fur, and went straight to Tuobaya's room, saying that it was too late and that it was fast, the cold light suddenly appeared, and the scimitar was suddenly pinched in her hand, and the knife fell in her hand, taking the life of the black shadow.
Tuoba Xi kicked out slightly, and the man was thrown out like a sandbag, blood covering the stone steps outside.
"Daddy!" Tuoba Xi was slightly stunned.
Tuoba Ye had a dark face, "Peace is imminent, and there can be no suspicion." ”
"If there is a suspicion, there must be danger." Tuoba Xi gritted his teeth slightly.
If there are assassins in the line, it will inevitably affect the agreement that the two countries are about to sign, and when the time comes, it will anger Da Zhou, and if the two sides turn against each other, then the person they are looking for will definitely be more dangerous.
There are some things that cannot be missed.
"Will ...... Army? Young master? The sergeant rushed quickly.
Tuoba Xi slightly scimitar in his hand, his eyes were ruthless, "No one is left!" ”
"Yes!"
Extinguishing the mouth is the best means of smoothing.
Wipe away all traces as quickly as possible, as if nothing had happened. When the snow floods Kyoto City tomorrow, nothing will exist, just like these Assassins who don't know where to go!
Killings, all around.
Tuoba Xi is agile, she is taught by Tuoba Ye, she has a true inheritance, she is ruthless, and the knife is deadly.
The Assassins did not come long and were quickly exterminated.
"Master, the prime minister is outside." Yi Nian was stunned.
Tuoba Xi sneered slightly, "I see, it's him who is making trouble!" ”
Looking around at the blood marks around him, Tuoba Ye coughed in a low voice, calmly gathered the coat on his body, brushed his sleeves and turned back to the room, "Let the prime minister go back and rest well, it snows so hard, and he is not afraid of freezing sickness?" ”
"Huh!" Tuoba Xi sneered slightly.
How could Uzen be so easy to pass and break into the door, who knows...... As far as the eye can see, everything is peaceful. The guards were still loyal to their duties, standing in the corridor and guarding the courtyard, making people feel in a trance that the movement of Fang Cai was not transmitted from here at all.
in the room.
Tuoba father and daughter were playing chess with candles, each with a cup of tea at hand, as if nothing had happened.
"Will ......"
Before Wu Cen could speak, Yi Nian had already made a silent movement, "Shhhhh The prime minister doesn't know something, and he will ...... Jun is now very interested in Da Zhou's chess, but he can't win Miss, so he will be worried! Just ...... Jun also said that whoever disturbed him, he would scold! ”
Uzen frowned, "Didn't anything happen?" ”
Yi Nian blinked and looked at him in surprise, "Is something supposed to happen?" ”
In a word, Wu Cen was speechless for a long time.
"Dad, you've lost again!" Tuoba Xi smiled and put away the eaten sunspots, "You better go back and practice more, this stinky chess basket still has to fight with me, it's really boring!" ”
Tuoba Ye blew his beard and glared, "I'm your father, can't you let me take a few steps?" Take it back, that step just now, it doesn't count! ”
"Dad, I have no regrets." Tuoba Xi clenched the chess pieces in his hand slightly, "You have played tricks many times!" ”
Tuoba Ye didn't do it, "Take it back, I'll think about which step to take." ”
"Will ...... Army? Utsuen stepped forward, "Fangcai! ”
Tuoba Ye's eyebrows were swaying, and his eyes were fierce, "Can't you wait for me to finish playing chess?" ”
This roar frightened Utzen.
The little girl on the side blinked aggrievedly, asking you not to speak, you don't believe it, now you know it's wrong, right?
Taking a deep breath, Utzen left with a dark face.
Yi Nian followed up and made sure that Wu Cen had left the courtyard, so he ordered someone to quickly close the courtyard door and turn back into the house, "The prime minister is gone!" ”
Tuoba Ye sneered twice, "I want to provoke a dispute between the two countries, heh...... By him? Delusion! ”
"Dad, be careful in the future." Tuoba Xi sighed slightly, and slowly stood up, "Dad, I'll go back first!" Tuoba Ye looked at his daughter, and finally felt a little worried in his heart, "Xi'er? ”
"Daddy is still in trouble?" Tuoba Xi turned his head slightly.
Tuoba Ye stood in the candlelight, the old man who had reached the twilight of his life, his face was full of vicissitudes and wrinkles, and even his voice was a little weak, "Dad is old, and he has seen through many things, but Xi'er, you are still young." Dad knows that you are dedicated to Beilan, but people have to do what they can, and the truth that things must be reversed, you don't need Dad to explain to you anymore, right? ”
"Daddy?" Tuoba Xi frowned slightly.
Tuoba Ye sighed, "That's it! I know you can't listen, but you are persistent and persistent, and you can't do anything that damages the reputation of Tuoba! ”
"Dad, don't worry." Tuoba Xi walked slightly.
Tuoba Ye shook his head, his daughter has had her own ideas since she was a child, and no one can persuade her, if she is a man, how good would it be? This stubbornness, as well as this good martial arts, is even more ......
"Alas!" Tuoba Ye sighed softly again.
"Are the bodies all disposed of?" Tuoba Xi stood with his hands in his hands.
The lieutenant saluted, "Yes!" ”
Want to assassinate her father, and take this opportunity to provoke Beilan's subjects and sabotage the peace between Da Zhou and Beilan? The purpose was not because Utzen couldn't find that person, so in desperation, he simply let the two countries go to war.
In the event of a battle, if there is a sign of it, that person will surely die.
"Think beautifully!" Tuoba Xi gritted his teeth slightly.
Yi Nian saluted, "Master, this is something sent by the Fu family!" ”
A long box, in which there is a scroll of paintings, Tuoba Xi opened it casually, only to see that the man in the painting is like a celestial man, the so-called gentleman, such as Gui Ruyu, such as pondering, it is really ......
The Fu family said that this is the portrait of the fifth son, which was specially painted by the best painter, but it was only painted with seven points of essence. The person who came also said that the fifth prince has a peerless appearance, and if Pan An is reincarnated, he will be more handsome than Lanling Changgong. Yi Nian didn't believe it.
It has been a long time since she came to Da Zhou, and she has also seen a lot of Da Zhou men along the way, if you say that you are handsome and unparalleled, the little prince of Yan Wangfu is really good, and the emperor is also handsome, but it is so exaggerated...... Not very credible.
Tuoba Xi stared at the person in the painting slightly, and didn't look away for a long time, "Fu ...... Jiuqing? Fu Jiuqing! ”
"Master, the slave and maid feel that it is not credible, everyone will put gold on their faces, although the appearance of the fifth prince may be really good, but such an exaggeration, it must not be worthy of the name, your expectations are not too high!" Yi Nian is afraid of his master, the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment.
Putting away the picture scroll, Tuoba Xi's cheeks were slightly red, and he couldn't help but raise his lips and smile, "Is this the case, you will know if you see it!" ”
"Master ......"
Before Yi Nian could speak, the door was closed.
Sui Han stood in the cloister and shook his head, "Woman...... Sure enough, it was also interesting. ”
"Little master, why haven't you slept yet?" Dress and salute.
Sui Han pouted, "It's no wonder that I can sleep with such a big movement!" Is Utzen doing something wrong? ”
Yi Nian dared to say more, "The slave doesn't know." ”
"That's it, I won't bother with you!" Sui Han returned to the house with his hands in his hands, but at a young age, he walked out of a swaggering posture, which was really a bit funny.
Closing the door, Sui Han scratched the tip of his nose, got dressed and climbed out of the back window.
Outside, the wind and snow are in full swing, and the small figure is shuttling in the wind and snow.
The night is sinking, and you are sleeping.
But tonight, Mingzhu couldn't sleep, so she sat quietly in the corridor, her eyebrows and eyes were solemn, there were tears and hatred in her eyes, and she was still holding the note sent by Sister Yuezhao not long ago.
"Mingzhu, what's wrong with you?" Frost Branch put a thick coat over her shoulders, "The wind and snow are so heavy, if you don't go back to the house and stay, what if you catch a cold?" The young lady is guarded by her son, she will definitely get better, don't worry too much. ”
When Mingzhu turned her head to look at her, tears fell with a click.
"Pearl?" Frost Branches were shocked.
She really rarely sees Mingzhu crying, could it be that she said the wrong thing? Or maybe Mingzhu remembered something sad?
Frost Branch was a little flustered, "Did I say the wrong thing?" Pearl, I'm sorry, I don't know ......"
"It's none of your business!" Mingzhu wiped away her tears and handed her the note in her hand, "Take a look!" ”
Frost Branch took it nervously, only glanced at it, and her eyes widened, "What does this mean?" ”
Mingzhu trembled violently, tears rained down in an instant, and hatred burned in his eyes, "Caught it!" ”
