Chapter Ninety-Six: The Identity of the Man in Black
After reading the letter sent by Ah Jin, Liang Qi'an looked depressed.
"It's time to come, it's still coming."
Dai Yue stood beside him, reached for the thin letterhead, glanced at it, and folded it carefully. "How are you going to respond?"
"Since the deceased is in the royal capital, I should go over to meet for a while."
When Dai Yue heard this, she didn't dare to agree, "You have been there before, and everyone's attention was not on Tongtian Pavilion at that time, so you can retreat with your whole body." Now if you go again, if that person knows, he will definitely suspect the Heavenly Pavilion. ”
"If I don't go, he won't suspect me, won't he?" Liang Qi'an raised his head and glanced at Dai Yue, and when he saw her sad face, he sighed softly. Liang Qi'an slowly stood up and reached out to caress Dai Yue's delicate face, "Don't worry, I'll be fine." I went this time to arrange for Ah Yin and the first time I saw them come back, the battle above the court has entered the white heat, and if I let those children stay in the royal capital, I am afraid that there will be complications. ”
Mentioning these later lives, Dai Yue's heart also rose, "What about Ah Jin?" You're going to bring her back too? ”
Speaking of his adopted daughter, who was raised single-handedly, Liang Qi'an had a headache, he subconsciously held his forehead, and said after a while: "I will act when the opportunity comes." ”
Dai Yue pursed her lips and didn't make a sound. But she was very sure in her heart, Liang Qi'an wanted to move Ah Jin to leave that Song Wenyu in a few words, and there was little hope. What's more, he went to the royal capital this time, and there were more important things to do.
At this moment, Liuli suddenly pushed the door and came in, "Master, Pavilion Master", as soon as she entered the door, she knelt down.
Dai Yue always knew the thoughts of her big apprentice, and she didn't help her, but Liang Qi'an didn't know anything, and when she saw Liuli suddenly kneeling in front of her, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "What are you doing, hurry up." ”
"Pavilion master, master. Ask the two to allow the apprentice to go to the royal capital with the pavilion master. Liuli was ruthless this time, so that even Liang Qi'an came to persuade her, but she couldn't get her to stand up and speak.
Dai Yue looked at her indifferently, and she seemed to be angry, "If I don't promise you, you won't get up?" ”
"If the apprentice kneels here, he can get the master's consent, and the apprentice is willing to kneel until the master agrees." Liuli looked at Dai Yue stubbornly and said.
"Then you kneel, you will always kneel without my order."
With that, Dai Yue went out angrily. Liang Qi'an was sandwiched in the middle, and some of the left and right were not people. He glanced at Liuli in embarrassment, and hurriedly chased him out, "Why do you bother, you really broke the child's knees, and you turned around and felt distressed......"
"Can't let her go back to the royal capital, she gave the Gu to others easily, she has already ignored it for that man. This incident is related to the life and death of Tongtian Pavilion, and there can be no mistakes, I am worried that she will finally faint, be taken advantage of, and lose her wife and soldiers. ”
"The apprentices you taught, I believe that there will be proportions in their hearts," Liang Qi'an looked at Dai Yue and tried to reassure: "Besides, Liuli's kung fu has always been above all the apprentices, and now Ah Yin and Ah Jin, who can suppress her, are not in the pavilion, now if we don't allow her to follow me out, what if she sneaks out when she turns around?" ”
"She dares! If she dares to do this, she will turn her back on Babelkaku! Dai Yue's face turned pale with anger, and her usually calm tone became urgent.
Liang Qi'an looked at Dai Yue and suddenly fell silent. After a while, he said: "Young people are always impulsive, who hasn't been young and frivolous?" I was sure that none of the children raised in the pavilion would do that...... But ......"
Dai Yue listened to Liang Qi'an's words, and there was a dull pain in her heart. She knew that he was talking about Ah Jiu.
"I see...... Dai Yue lowered her eyes and glanced to the side, "She's already an adult, what she wants to do, just do it." ”
With that, she turned and walked down the hallway. Liang Qi'an shook his head, entered the room, and saw that Liuli was still kneeling there, so he said, "You heard what your master said, get up." Pack up and set off with me tomorrow. ”
When Liuli heard this, she couldn't help but cry, and she silently kowtowed three times to the house, although the room was empty, but doing so could ease the guilt in her heart a little.
"Master, I'm sorry...... Ruri whispered, then stood up and left the room she had been to countless times. When she came to the door, she deliberately looked back at the scenes and objects in the room.
For some reason, she had a hunch that this would probably be the last time she would enter this room. Although this is not a sign of Geely, she does not hesitate.
……
After Ah Jin sent the letter, he went to see Ah Yin again. She briefly explained the matter, and then said to Ah Yin: "It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, I guess after my father-in-law receives my letter, he should come to the royal capital, and then you can go back with him." Or, do you want to go back now? I can arrange it. ”
Ah Yin lowered his head and said nothing, and only after a while did he raise his head and say, "Why is it so sudden." But it had something to do with the man in black who fought me. ”
Speaking of this, Ah Jin suddenly remembered something, "Do you still have any impression of the man in black who fought with you?" ”
"It was a man, more than five feet tall, and his voice was very hoarse, as if it were ...... It feels like it's smoked to make that sound. When he fought me, he first used a sword, and then he used a folding plum hand. For the rest, nothing out of the ordinary. ”
"The man in black who I fought in front of King Qing's Mansion that day used the Qingfeng Sword Technique," Ah Jin lowered his head and began to think, "I always feel that they are not the same person, but they are a group." ”
"Why?" Ah Yin looked at his sister, after all, the people in black did different kung fu in different places, which could not be a strong evidence to prove that these were two people.
"Look," Ah Jin closed her eyes and thought for a while, and suddenly her heart trembled slightly, although she didn't want to admit it, but the look that person looked at him before leaving, and then appeared in her dreams countless times, "That look...... I've seen ...... before."
This realization had a big impact on Ah Jin, although she had always thought that the person would not die so easily. But suddenly, he turned into the initiator of the bloody storm in the inner city, which made Ah Jin a little unacceptable.
"You've seen it?" Ah Yin was confused by Ah Jin's half-cut words.
"Yes," Ah Jin raised her head, in front of Ah Yin, she had never hidden any of her thoughts, "Before King Run fell off the cliff, he used to look at me with those eyes...... That look is really similar, it's like...... It's the same person. ”
Seeing that Ah Jin was a little ungodly, Ah Yin suddenly stood up and said, "If that's the case, I can't leave." ”
"No, if that's the case, you have to go. Ah Yin, if this is the case, he has only one purpose for doing so many things, the throne. You...... You can't stay here, it's too dangerous for you. ”
Thinking of this, Ah Jin couldn't wait to send Ah Yin back to Tongtian Pavilion right now and carefully protect it. Ah Yin has never intended for the throne, she knows it. However, she didn't know what step Xiao Zhan would do for this position.
At the beginning, he saved his life, and took him to the unruly mountain to heal his wounds. In any case, Tongtian Pavilion is a lifesaver for Xiao Zhan. Now that he is for the sake of his royal hegemony, he can throw Tongtian Pavilion out and become the target of public criticism, so Ah Yin's life experience will definitely become a bargaining chip for him.
"If I leave, the queen will be unfavorable to Madame," Ah Yin looked at Ah Jin expressionlessly, "Recently, the people of the Zhu family have begun to be restless again. Not only that, but there are also many people in the rivers and lakes who will try to explore the surroundings. I guess the sudden appearance of these people must also have something to do with the current queen. Sister, you don't have to worry too much about me. My identity, even if they knew, since I left the palace with my mother, we have nothing to do with that place at all...... However, my father-in-law told me that if my wife hadn't saved me and my mother from desperately, I wouldn't be where I am today. I can't leave him alone at this time. ”
Ah Jin was stunned for a moment and said, "You have never told me, my father-in-law once told you this." ”
Ah Yin bowed his head and did not speak. In fact, he already vaguely knew something about it long before Liang Qi'an sent him here, but when he heard that past, he felt like he was listening to someone else's story and couldn't empathize. It wasn't until I came to the Great Compassion Temple and got along with Ren day and night that some dusty memories suddenly revived again.
Seeing that he was silent, Ah Jin didn't think much about it and said, "There are some things you remember when you were a child. ”
"Hmm. If it weren't for me and my mother, the concubine would not have been separated from Xiao Wusheng, and Xiao Zhan would not have ......" Ah Yin didn't continue, and Ah Jin didn't force him to finish his words.
At this point, there is no need to say more. Ah Jin sighed, looked up at the sky in August, and suddenly said: "Autumn is coming in a blink of an eye, why do I think that this year's summer will pass very quickly." ”
Ah Yin glanced up at her for some reason, and followed her example, looking up at the cloudless blue sky.
Overnight, all the forces in the royal capital suddenly focused their attention on the Tongtian Pavilion. Ah Jin knows that this is not a good sign. It was also at this time that Luo Teng also came to his senses.
Song Wenyu knew the news for the first time, and early the next morning, he hurried to Luofu. Originally, Ah Jin wanted to go with him, but Song Wenyu didn't let him, and before leaving home, he repeatedly told Ah Jin not to act rashly, so he left with Huairen.
Of course, Ah Jin understood what he meant by not acting rashly, not only to remind her not to go to see Luo Teng without permission, but also to remind her not to contact the people of Tongtian Pavilion at this time.
When Song Wenyu took Huairen to Luo Teng's room, Luo Teng was still a little surprised, "You didn't go to the court?" ”
"I heard last night that you woke up, so I took leave with the saint and went straight to you," Song Wenyu said here, paused before saying, "The saint's oracle is to hear you talk about the situation that night. ”
Luo Teng listened to Song Wenyu's words, and immediately understood, "Are you here to confess to me?" ”
"No, I just want to hear what you want to say before the saints."
"Does it make a difference?" Luo Teng sneered, he didn't know if he was angry or because his injuries had not healed, his face was very pale, and even his lips were not bloody.
Song Wenyu didn't speak, the two were in a stalemate for a while, and finally Song Wenyu opened his mouth first, "I don't want you to hide it or let you distort the facts." I just think that before we figure things out, we should not act rashly, so as not to fall into the trap of others. ”
"Are you trying to say that someone deliberately made us think that it was the people of the Tongtian Pavilion who were making trouble in the inner city that day," Luo Teng sighed and said, "How could I not have considered this possibility. Let's not talk about this for now, but let me ask you who was the person who saved you that day. Why can she fight the man in black on an equal footing, and she can also distinguish the nine-string technique in the first place. You tell me who he is, and I'll think about what you just said. ”
When Song Wenyu heard this, he subconsciously clenched his fists slightly, and let go again, "This person's identity has nothing to do with this matter." ”
"Really? Brother Wen Yu, since you can't be honest with me, why do you force me to listen to your opinion, you better go back. ”
“…… You don't have to think about whether that person is dangerous or not, and I can tell you very clearly that she is not a threat to us, but a help to us. Although Luo Teng gave him an eviction order, Song Wenyu had no intention of leaving.
Luo Teng suddenly raised his head and looked at Song Wenyu, "You must know this person, and you are defending him." ”
The expression on Song Wenyu's face was not abnormal, but he chuckled in his heart. He closed his eyes, suddenly opened them and looked at Luo Teng and said, "That's right, I not only messed with her, but also planned to protect her with my life." Not only that, but I can also use my own reputation as a guarantee that she will not pose any threat to us or to the court. Ah Teng, I've said this, why do you have to get to the bottom of her identity? ”
Luo Teng looked at Song Wenyu and said that there was no shock in his heart, it was fake, he looked at Song Wenyu with a complicated expression for a long time, and finally softened his tone, "You talk about it first, what you think." ”
Song Wenyu was overjoyed, he didn't expect Luo Teng to compromise so quickly, seeing that the other party's attitude had loosened, Song Wenyu hurriedly revealed his thoughts and thoughts.
After the two discussed, Luo Teng did not immediately relax, but said to Song Wenyu: "I will think about this matter, you don't have to come to me again, when you meet the saint in the court tomorrow, you will know." ”
"Okay, you have a good rest," Song Wenyu nodded, seeing that it was almost noon, thinking of Ah Jin, who was waiting for him to go back to eat at home, he was even more heartfelt.
He didn't take two steps forward, and suddenly turned to look at Luo Teng and said, "Ateng, you have changed." ”
Luo Teng was stunned for a moment and didn't make a sound, until he saw that Song Wenyu's figure had become a little sporadic at the end of the corridor, and then he said to himself: "Yes, I think too." ”
With that, he slowly moved back to the bed with the support of his entourage.
"Ah Xuan, how did you find out about the matter over there in Yuehua Building." As soon as Luo Teng lay down on the bed, he asked his entourage Ah Xuan.
Ah Xuan scratched his head and said, "The girl in purple said goodbye without saying goodbye, which made Yuehualou's mother Xing angry." After hearing that, many people in the rivers and lakes were secretly searching for the traces of the girl in purple, but she seemed to have evaporated from the world...... Master, are we going to continue looking for her? ”
Luo Teng slowly closed his eyes, wanting to think of Ziyi's smile, but his mind was full of her departing figure. He opened his eyes with a resolute expression, "Look, you must find her." ”
"Oh," Ah Xuan ordered, and didn't say anything else. He didn't understand why the young master suddenly became so interested in that woman, when that person was there before, the young master was always like leaving, but now that the people are leaving, the young master is digging deep to find it, Ah Xuan is not sure if this is because of the love between men and women, because Luo Teng has never revealed half of the look of missing the woman. If there is any other emotion, it seems that there are many unwilling emotions.
Yes, I guess I'm not reconciled. After a moment of Spring Festival, it was a woman who left in a chic manner, and any man who has always been arrogant would be unwilling.
Ah Xuan thought so, and secretly glanced at Luo Teng, only to feel that his eldest young master was really childish.
……
Liuli didn't know that Luo Teng was digging holes in the mountains to find her, she only knew that the rivers and lakes were now looking for a woman who didn't exist at all. Liuli looked at the vividly painted portrait, hooked her red lips, and threw it aside with contempt.
"Master, let's drink saliva," At this moment, she and Liang Qi'an were on their way to the royal capital, commensurate with master and servant. Liang Qi'an is a gray-haired old man who is drooping and old, and she is an ordinary-looking and capable maid.
On the official road to the royal capital, there are many such combinations, which will not arouse the suspicion of others.
Liang Qi'an took a sip of water, looked up at Liuli and said, "Have you seen your own bounty portrait?" ”
Liuli smiled slightly, scalded the dishes and chopsticks in the boiling water before handing them to Liang Qi'an and said, "The painting is very similar, but it's a pity that it's not me." ”
Liang Qi'an took the chopsticks and put some kitchen knives and bowls in them, "It seems that your sudden departure caught the master of Yuehua Mansion off guard." ”
Liuli thought to herself, not to mention being caught off guard, it should not be an exaggeration to describe the current state of Yuehualou with chickens flying and dogs jumping.
Liang Qi'an saw that she didn't speak, picked up the bowl and took a few bites of rice, "What are you thinking?" ”
"The slave is wondering how long it will take for us to get to the royal capital."
"Don't worry, the scenery is very good along the way, we can walk slowly and see slowly." Liang Qi'an replied slowly, his old and hoarse voice could hardly be associated with a middle-aged man in the wind in the jade tree.
Liuli glanced at Liang Qi'an, nodded, and never spoke again.
……
The next day upwards, the words are sharp.
It was clear that Luo Teng was an injured person, but for some reason, in the end, he looked like a criminal being interrogated. Fortunately, Luo Teng had discussed with Song Wenyu about the situation that he might encounter today, so his answer was seamless.
Xiao Wusheng sat behind the bead curtain, looking at the scene in front of him gloomily, and a sneering smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"According to what Aiqing meant, this matter was not done by the Nine Emperor Princes who had died a long time ago, or by the Four Princes who had just found the body a few days ago?"
Xiao Wusheng's voice suddenly sounded, and there was a loud sound. The officials who had spoken generously in the court before suddenly fell silent. They know very well that this question cannot be answered randomly, because the two people mentioned by Xiao Wusheng, no matter which one they are, have now grown into a thorn in Xiao Wusheng's heart, and it hurts when they touch it.
Luo Teng glanced at the ministers standing in the main hall, and then looked at Xiao Wusheng and said, "Holy Lord, Weichen feels that there must be another reason for this matter, and it should be investigated carefully." ”
"Why?"
Xiao Wusheng's voice was cold, without any emotion, which made all the officials present break out in a cold sweat.
The three previous deceased were all neutrals, or even anti-princes, and the last three deceased seemed to be close associates of the prince, but in fact they were all related to the Huainan County corruption case. I thought that this must be someone who wants to tarnish the reputation of today's saint and prince, so he will play such a game of chess step by step. If we want to solve it, we should re-investigate the corruption case in Huainan County. ”
Luo Teng said a lot of things, logical and impeccable, such a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, so that the knees of many officials with ghosts in their hearts have begun to tremble slightly.
Some good deeds will subconsciously observe the prince's expression, but they see that the other party's eyes are cold, as if they are going to devour Luo Teng alive.
"I'm right." Xiao Wusheng was silent for a while, and suddenly said. After that, he stood up while coughing, and left the Qinzheng Hall with the support of the king's attendants.
As soon as he left with his front foot, Xiao Shuo also stood up, and glanced at the civil and military officials with extremely cold eyes, "Go down." ”
"Long live the emperor, long live the prince." In the salute of the civil and military officials, Xiao Shuo slowly walked down the steps with his hands behind his back.
After going down, Song Wenyu caught up with Luo Teng, thanked him without a trace, and left quickly.
He looked at the back of Song Wenyu leaving, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head. Actually, Song Wenyu doesn't have to thank him, the reason why he made the same choice as Song Wenyu today is also a little selfish.
Thinking so, Lotten took out a portrait from his bosom after getting into his carriage. The picture on it is a young woman who can be called a role, and the woman's appearance of looking forward to life and laughing is refreshing.
"Purple-clothed ......" Luo Teng stroked the portrait with his fingers, as if he was touching the skin of the woman in the painting. After a while, he suddenly stopped his meaningless movements.
Rotten closed his eyes, embarrassed. In this contradictory and shameful mood, he carefully folded the portrait and put it in his arms.
He has always been sensible, and he has never forgotten the original intention of looking for purple clothes. I just don't know when it started, and this aimless search seems to have changed its flavor.
