Downing's outfit today is very different from what he saw that day. The long hair was combed into a graceful girl's bun, and the face was lightly powdered. There are two turquoise tassel pendants hanging from his ears, which are so decorated that the lines on his face are no longer so hard and indifferent, but much softer.

A delicately cut retro tunic is roughly green, soaked in blood, and its true color is no longer visible.

Her face was so pale that she couldn't cover it even with powder. Hold the quiver in one hand and press the back of the hand against your chest. The other hand clutched his stomach, and blood continued to spill between his fingers, staining the slightly pale hands red.

Mei Longxue's feet fell to the ground, a whirl, and she turned around and pounced again, but was restrained by Mu Dianke: "Stop." ”

At this moment, about two miles to the southwest, there was a burst of hounds barking.

After a while, footsteps sounded, hurried and neat, roughly estimated, no less than twenty or thirty people. The voices of the dogs barked, and they came quickly in this direction.

Mu Dianke looked at Tang Ning, only to see that her expression was calm, as if she was just welcoming a result that she had predicted a long time ago.

Needless to say, these people came for Tangning.

Mu Dianke asked, "Who have you offended?" ”

"Rong Yi."

Mu Dianke was slightly stunned, and Tang Ning continued: "The left prime minister of the Southern Dynasty, the head of the Jiankang Rong family, Rong Yi. ”

As soon as these words came out, Mu Dian knew that Tang Ning was going to die.

Rong Yi, the power of the government and the opposition, the head of the Rong family at the head of the four families of Jiankang, the master of the dynasty known as "Rong Family Zhou Lang", and the emperor's own uncle.

It is also the "Weiyuan General" who has made great achievements in war, and the "Marquis of Zhenguo" who is personally named by the royal pen.

Today, the heroes are divided and the court is weak. The Southern Imperial Court, which had declined for the second time, was held in power by the lords of the Jiankang family. The gate valves are tilting against each other, disputes are continuous, and they have been alternating for decades.

Now firmly entrenched in Jiankang, the most vocal family is Fang, Rong, Su, and Ning.

The men of the Fang family are good at fighting, the women are all beautiful, they hold heavy military power, and they have won the heart of the emperor, and they are the hottest family in the dynasty.

Fang Rong's two families have been married for generations, one is prosperous, one is lost, and in this generation, the two families are unprecedentedly united, holding together, and the person in charge is Rong Yi.

The Su family is a scholarly family, and the children concentrate on learning, far away from the court disputes, and are the noble families admired and respected by scholars all over the world.

The Ning family is good at scheming, when Emperor Taizu was still a courtier of the Sima clan in the previous dynasty, the Ning family served his subordinates, gave advice to him, and made great contributions.

After Emperor Taizu ascended to the throne, the Ning family ascended to heaven, and the marquis worshiped the prime minister, and Xuan He was prosperous for a while. Today's head of the Ning family, Ning Yuguan, worships the right prime minister and is a very popular minister. After his granddaughter Ning Kohua became the Son of Heaven, she ruled the Six Palaces and was the mother of the world.

On the surface, the Ning family occupies all the glory and flowers, but in fact, even the people in the countryside know that the Ning family is no longer the scenery of the past. Ning Yukong has the name of Xiangye, and every time he speaks above the court, there are only a few people who are in harmony.

And when today's Zisheng favors Fang Guifei, the six palaces are useless. As the queen, Ning Kohua issued an edict, which was not as important as Fang Qingyan's jokes. It can be seen that under the favor of the Son of Heaven, the dignity of the harem has become so chaotic.

And the people in this situation are the children of Fang Rong and the two surnames headed by Rong Yi.

More than ten years ago, because of an old case of hiding the princess of the former dynasty, the Fang Rong family was robbed and questioned. Although he was spared the punishment of exile through many activities, the mansion collapsed overnight, and he became a declining aristocrat in Jiankang City that everyone could trample on at will.

Two years later, Rong Yi, the ninth son of the Rong family, was still the youngest daughter of Huizong, Princess Mingshuo, and worshiped the official Zhonglang General.

In the spring of the following year, the war between the Southern Dynasty and Rouran broke out, and Rong Yi left his wife who was still in the newly married period, led the troops to the battle, and returned with a great defeat.

In the second year, he sent troops to the north and made another military exploit.

These two wars that are enough to go down in history won eight years of stability for the drunken emperors and magnates of the Southern Dynasty, and also won the support of the Manchu Dynasty soldiers and the admiration of thousands of people in the opposition for Rong Yi himself.

Rong Yi, who is well versed in the principle of high merit and shock, handed over power in time and abandoned the first and followed the text. started from a small Zhongshulang until the official worship of Zuo Cheng, who not only won the sacred heart, but also used the power of official selection to plant his own power in the court.

And the military power that was handed over by Rong Yi was firmly grasped by the Fang clan after several years of competition, which was equivalent to returning to Rong Yi's hands.

Even today, in front of this uncle who can fight on the horse, can govern on the horse, and has a great reputation, he has to be careful.

Mu Dian is not a chivalrous woman with a warm heart, and she will not offend the two hot families of the dynasty for the sake of a Tang Ning. said: "Then I can't help you." ”

Tang Ning didn't expect Mu Dian to help him, and said: "After I left the Tang Sect, I made a batch of extremely powerful poisons that can kill people, as well as hidden weapons that even no one in the Tang Sect has ever heard of, and buried them in a place where only I know. ”

Mu Dian frowned slightly: "Didn't you say that you don't make drugs anymore?" ”

"Lie to you."

Soldiers are not tired of cheating, this truth can be understood. But she was still a little unhappy. She is rarely willing to trust anyone, it is rare to trust one, and in the end it was a lie to her.

He raised his eyebrows and said, "You want to make a deal with me?" ”

Tang Ning said: "Yes, this matter is not difficult for Miss Four. As long as after I die, you can help me collect a corpse, buy a thin coffin, and bury me in a village called Qiulangbai in Wuliu County, Chuzhou. I have already chosen the burial site, next to the grave of a man named Chen Shu, if you dig up that piece of land, you will find the poison and hidden weapons that I buried in the ground. ”

Mu Dian Ke said: "Stealing the corpse from the hands of the prime minister of the dynasty is not difficult to say, and it is not easy to say. Aren't you afraid that I will only dig up the poison and not collect your body? ”

"I'm sure you won't." Tang Ning said: "I don't know why, I just believe." ”

"Then why should I believe you?"

Tang Ning said: "When a person is about to die, his words are also good." I promise I didn't lie to you this time. ”

Mu Dianke stared at Tang Ning for a while, and said, "Then do you know that I never use poison?" Even to kill the most obscene and lowly people, I only use anesthetics. It is better to wash your hands after killing people, but not to use poison. You know why? Because I really hate this stuff. ”

The Kim family died under the poison plot. The faces she once knew well, but finally became hideous and terrifying, she will never forget in her life.

The barking of dogs outside the woods was getting closer. Mu Dianke called Mei Longxue, got up and went in the direction of Liuxian Residence, glanced back at Tang Ning, and said, "I will collect your body for you, and I will also bury you with the person named Chen Shu, but not for your poison." ”
