Chapter 41: Growing Brighter 5
The night was like ink, the streets of Xilincheng were quiet and empty, on the back hall of the government office, Shen Zhitang was walking around the back room, and as soon as the door rang, Li Jianqing walked in and whispered: "Teacher~ Ready!" ”
Shen Zhitang sat down: "Hmm~ Start transporting the corpse!" The living people let the doctor do his best to save them"
At this time, a black shadow in the east courtyard flashed by like lightning and flew towards Xia Huaixu's room, revealing a pair of eyes behind the rockery, it was Zhang Hui
At the same time, there was a black shadow wandering in the east courtyard, in the room, Su Yun was sitting at the table, a gust of wind blew, and the door opened a crack with a "flicker", Su Yun stood up vigilantly, pulled out a short knife, and slowly walked to the door, and saw the tattoo on the chest of the man in black in the crack, he quickly pulled him into the room and closed the door and said: "Eagle Guard? ”
The man in black knelt on one knee, held a black jade pendant in both hands and said, "The Sixth Prince~ Something happened to the Western Zhou Kingdom!" ”
Su Yun exclaimed, "What happened?" As he spoke, he lifted the man in black with both hands
The man in black said: "After the Prime Minister returned from the southern Xinjiang country, he began to suppress those corrupt officials and relatives, and the methods used were extremely cruel, two days ago, the second prince Su Cheng suddenly rebelled under pressure."
Su Yun hurriedly asked, "And then?" ”
The man in black said: "The second prince and his faction were wiped out" Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief, only to hear the man in black continue: "Prime Minister Situ Mo died in battle, the emperor was seriously injured, and now the palace is tightly controlled by the eldest prince, our people can't enter at all, so we can only follow Your Majesty's instructions in advance, take this half of the talisman to you, and turn the two into one, and the Eagle Guard will listen to your orders."
Su Yun was a little unstable in time, he had only been out for less than a month, how could it have become like this?
At that moment, there was a commotion outside the door, and the Eagle Guard disappeared into the room in a flash
The guards shouted, "Catch the assassins!" In the east courtyard, a blue-robed man was surrounded by all the guards in the center, his long sword stretched like lightning, and several guards fell to the ground with their swords
Zhang Hui roared, pounced with a big knife in his hand, the sword was bright, and the figure shuttled, accompanied by a rapid sound of gold and iron fighting, and the two fought in one place
Shen Zhitang and Li Jianqing came to the front of the courtyard, Zhang Hui and the people in Tsing Yi fought fiercely, the two leaped vertically and horizontally, and their swords intersected
Li Jianqing took out his long sword and stepped forward, and Shen Zhitang said, "Catch it alive!" ”
Suddenly, the man in Tsing Yi screamed, spit black blood in his mouth, and his whole body began to slowly swell
Zhang Hui was stunned: "Why did you die?" ”
Shen Zhitang and Li Jianqing walked over quickly, Li Jianqing tore off the black cloth on the face of the man in Tsing Yi with a sword, and under the black cloth was a face that was red and purple and swollen, and black blood flowed from his nostrils, mouth and ears, and his face was no longer visible
Shen Zhitang stood in front of the door, looked quietly, and suddenly raised his head and exclaimed, "Not good!" Go to the back hall" said and rushed into the back hall, only to see Xia Huaixu lying in the house, exactly the same as the man in Tsing Yi
Li Jianqing quickly inspected the room, walked to Shen Zhitang and shook his head: "Teacher~ I didn't find it"
Shen Zhitang raised his eyes and looked at Li Jianqing: "Hmm", his expression was complicated, he had obviously changed Xia Huaixu's room, how did those people know?
In the West Courtyard, Li Zhilian lay quietly on the couch, holding the quilt, thinking about the possible connections between Mr. Wang and Xilin City, and in the end, except for the person in Yunshan Academy who was hidden in the dark, she couldn't find anything related to Mr. Wang and Xilin City
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and a black shadow jumped in, and under the illumination of the moonlight, Li Zhi sat up suddenly, and she saw the humanity clearly: "Su Yun! What are you doing? ”
Su Yun walked quickly to the tea table, sat down with his back to Li Zhilian and said, "Little mercy ~ I'm going back to the Western Zhou"
Li Zhilian got up and put on a yellow cloak, lit a candlelight, and sat in front of Su Yun, the candlelight shone on Su Yun's sad face, his young and ignorant clear smiling face, at this time, there was a faint pain, the extremely clear and clean side outline, gradually revealing elegance and elegance
Su Yun hung his head and said in a low voice: "The second emperor brother rebelled, Situ Mo died in battle, his father was seriously injured, and the eldest emperor controlled the entire palace......" With a slight nasal voice in his voice, Li Zhilian got up and hugged Su Yun's neck, she was petite, and her legs were level with Su Yun who was sitting with only a slight curve
Smelling the unique medicinal fragrance on Li Zhilian's body, his anxiety and resentment slowly calmed down at this moment, wiped the tears on his face and smiled: "When you grow up, if you can't get married, you will come to Xizhou to find me" said and took out the short knife: "This knife is regarded as a token of love, you must always keep him with you, just like I lent it to you last time, and return it to me when we meet"
Li Zhilian took the short knife and said with a smile: "When did you make the scabbard, this pattern is weird and ugly!" ”
Su Yun got up and rubbed Li Zhilian's hair and said, "I'm leaving~ You have to rest well, otherwise you won't grow tall, and it will be even more difficult to get married" pointed to the short knife in her hand: "Remember to carry it with you, you can't lose it"
Li Zhilian nodded tearfully and said, "Do you want to leave now?" ”
Su Yun looked at Li Zhilian's beautiful immature face, and was very reluctant in his heart, but he still smiled: "Of course not, I still have to go to Shen Zhitang to get back what belongs to me!" ”
In the dark night, the long wind whistling by, cold enough to invade the bone marrow, Li Zhilian looked at Su Yun's distant back in the dark night, his hand tightly clutched the short knife, and the silent scenes of the past emerged
She sat in front of the mansion gate, leaned her face on her bent knees, sat quietly, I don't know how long she sitted, the moonlight was dim, and a faint dark blue appeared on the horizon, the autumn frost was heavy, staining her clothes, she was staring into the distance and was in a daze, and there was a sound of footsteps behind her, getting closer and closer
Shen Zhitang stood in front of her and looked down at her, and when he saw that she didn't speak, he turned his head to look at the city gate in the distance and said, "Su Yun is leaving at this time, maybe it's a good thing."
Li Zhilian whispered: "I often persuaded him to leave when he was there, but I didn't expect him to really leave."
Shen Zhitang sat next to her with the light: "Of the two boxes of treasures, he left one box for you, saying that it was a dowry for you, and I arranged a guard for him, and he didn't want it."
Li Zhilian raised his head and looked at the full moon in the sky: "Teacher~ Will he be in danger along the way?" ”
Shen Zhitang nodded: "There will be~"
Li Zhilian couldn't help but glance sideways at him: "I thought the teacher would comfort me and say no"
Shen Zhitang said: "On September 6, Situ Mo, the prime minister of the Western Zhou Kingdom, took the sixth prince Su Yun to our country, arrived in Lining City on the 92th, returned to the Western Zhou State on September 23rd, and at the beginning of October, Su Cheng, the second prince of the Western Zhou Kingdom, rebelled, do you think this is a coincidence?" ”
Li Zhilian shook his head and looked at him in the flickering light, his face, which had always been gentle and calm, showed a little uneasiness at this time, and he said: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid, this poisonous insect in Xilin City and the civil war in the Western Zhou Kingdom are just part of his plan."
Shen Zhitang's gaze fell on Li Zhilian and said softly, "Then are you willing to return to Zhongluan City now?" ”
Li Zhilian met his gaze and said, "I will go to the Western Zhou with Su Yun."
Shen Zhitang shook his head helplessly: "That's it~ Go back and rest!" ”
