Whoosh! ”

The cold arrows on both sides became denser.

The groom was so frightened that his face was bloodless and trembling, but the two guards were always calm, they had their own plans in their hearts, and they always stood by the carriage and never left the radius.

People come to fight people, arrows come to shoot arrows, and they never move like mountains.

At this moment, a messy sound of horses' hooves came from the direction of the end of Zhending Street in front of him.

The sound of horses' hooves rumbled, becoming clearer and clearer, and even the bluestone brick street seemed to vibrate slightly. Obviously, the people who came were coming for this side.

"The Five Cities Terracotta Division is here!"

I don't know who shouted on the side of the street.

On weekdays, these people were somewhat afraid of seeing the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, but at this moment, they were like being amnestied, as if they had seen a savior.

For the Assassins, the arrival of the Five Cities was like a talisman.

After the last arrow was staggered, there was no movement around.

No cold arrows, no assassins.

The two guards still didn't dare to be careless, and looked around vigilantly.

"Stepping on ......"

The rumbling hooves of horses came closer.

Seeing this, the triangular-eyed assassin with an injured wrist wanted to retreat in the direction of an alley, but unfortunately, Mo You and Mo Xu would not let him do so easily.

Mo You picked up a long knife on the ground with his right foot, and flew towards the triangular-eyed assassin, forcing the other party to hurriedly stop his steps and staggered back two steps.

"Phew—"

Twenty or thirty men from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses finally arrived, and the horses neighed and paced their hooves impatiently.

"Escort, take people!"

The commander of the Xicheng Soldiers and Horses Division led by him gave a sharp order, and his expression was cold.

The commander in his thirties was calm on the surface, but he was afraid for a while, and said secretly: Fortunately, the four girls of Duanmu are fine, otherwise in the territory of their Xicheng Terracotta Division, the future queen will have a case, and their Xicheng Terracotta Division will be unable to shirk its responsibility!

The men of the Five Cities Terracotta Division immediately moved, some of them took down the two Assassins who were wounded and one fainted, some stayed behind to protect the carriage, and some followed the information provided by the Secret Guard to pursue the other Assassins who had escaped.

As for the onlookers on the street, they were also dispersed by the Five Cities Terracotta Division, and Dahuai Street soon became orderly again, only the falling arrow reminded the passers-by of what had happened.

After that, the commander gave Duanmu a courtesy, and took the initiative to send the sisters back to the Muguo Mansion before leaving.

The attack on the sisters also caused a splash in the house, and Mama Zhang nervously asked people to make tea for the gods, and sent someone to inform Duanmuxian.

Duanmuxian came back sooner than expected, and in less than a stick of incense, he hurriedly returned from the household yamen, and at this time, the sisters had just packed themselves.

Duanmu Xian came so quickly, not only for the sake of the assassins, but also for the case that happened in Jingzhao Mansion.

As soon as they met, he worriedly threw out a series of questions to Duanmujun, asking about Jingzhao Mansion, asking Jingzhaoyin if he had embarrassed her, asking how the case was concluded, and telling the maid to boil some soothing tea, for fear that Duanmujun would be frightened in the court.

"Big girl, I know that you have a clear conscience, and you are not afraid of shadows, but we are not afraid of gentlemen, we are afraid of villains and hypocrites. You're porcelain, so there's no need to touch the rotten tiles. Duanmu Xian said.

He wanted to tell Duanmu Jun that if there was such a thing in the future, she should let people come to him!

Duanmu Jun smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Grandfather, I'm not afraid!" ”

Duanmu Xian stroked his beard appreciatively, and said in his heart: It is worthy of the blood of their Duanmu family, and they are bold enough!

However, immediately after, his face froze again, and he saw Duanmu Jun calmly saying, "If there is really something, Gongzi Cen will definitely come." ”

"But in today's court, he didn't show up, which means that this is a bureau."

"So, I'm not afraid."

Duanmujun was sure that if something really happened to him, Cen Yin would definitely appear.

Every time in the past, as long as she had an accident, Cen Yin would try to protect her, for her, she was not alone, there was always Cen Yin behind her.

Since Cen Yin didn't go to the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion, it means that Cen Yin is planning to use this matter to plan something.

Therefore, she is not afraid and does not panic.

Therefore, she instead guided those lifters to go to the princess's mansion to sue for the royal complaint.

And the result was just as she expected.

Duanmujun's beautiful willow leaf eyes are bright and energetic, and the corners of her lips are smiling, so determined, so open-minded, and so confident.

Duanmu Xian stared straight at Duanmu Xian, his expression extremely complicated. This girl believes in Cen Yin so wholeheartedly and with all her heart?!

Duanmu Jun also reassured Duanmu Xian in turn: "Grandfather, don't worry, I'll be fine." ”

With him, she'll be fine.

As he spoke, Duanmujun's pupils became brighter, radiant and radiant.

Duanmu nodded frequently on the side, and the corners of his lips curved, revealing a pair of shallow pear vortices. That's right, Gongzi Cen won't let his sister have trouble, just like Ah Yan won't let him have anything.

"......" Duanmu Xian still looked at Duanmu Jun.

From her radiant face, he couldn't see a little panic, he couldn't see a little uneasiness, as if there was absolute trust and tacit understanding between her and Cen Yin, and no one could insert between them.

"......" Duanmu Xian's lips moved, he wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

After today's experience, Duanmuxian realized that no matter what he said was useless, Duanmujun would not be shaken by this.

However, for Duanmu Xian, he still didn't want his good granddaughter to go down such a dead end.

His precious granddaughter could have a brighter, more stable and more secure future.

However, Duanmujun is as stubborn as his eldest son, knowing that it is a dead end, he still has to go on, and he is still so calm and persistent.

Duanmu Xian had a straight face, and his face sank like water.

He stiffly changed the topic and said in a commanding tone: "What the elders say is for your good, you just listen to it." If you want to drink calming tea, you can drink it, don't be verbose. ”

Duanmu Xian's words were quite a bit of a pun.

Duanmujun is a good granddaughter, and she will not make her grandfather angry, so she responded with a smile: "Well, grandfather, don't worry, I listen to my grandfather." You let me drink for a few days, and I will drink it for a few days. ”

Feel relieved?! Where can Duanmu Xian rest assured, he feels that his granddaughter is poking his heart and liver again.

Duanmu Fei looked at Duanmu Xian's expression was wrong, and went to make him tea intimately.

When Duanmu Xian served the tea made by his little granddaughter, his expression eased slightly.

He looked at Duanmu Fei and Duanmu Xuan, and inevitably thought of Duanmu Qi who died of incense and jade.

Duanmuqi is also his granddaughter, only eighteen years old, this is the best time in the mood for love, she is younger than the eldest granddaughter, and she is so gone......

Even if Duanmu Xian didn't like Duanmu Qi's granddaughter, he was still sad when he heard the news of her death.

Duanmu Xian let out a long sigh: "Your second uncle is stupid and has a small vision, so he was coaxed so easily and let people be used as gunmen!" ”

"If he was sold and paid for him, he was the one who said it."

"He's afraid he's in prison now, and he doesn't realize who killed him."

Duanmu Xian was almost certain that Duanmu Chao and Xiao He were still scolding Duanmu Jun at the moment, and felt that Duanmu Jun had harmed them.

is stupid like this, no wonder people are "worried"!

For Duanmu Chao's unfilial son, Duanmu Xian's mood is very complicated, on the one hand, he is angry, on the other hand, no matter how he is his own son, Duanmu Xian cannot hope that he will die.

In the hall, there was silence, and the atmosphere was slightly condensed.

In the matter of Duanmu Dynasty, Duanmu Jun and Duanmu Fei didn't know how to comfort Duanmu Xian, and the sisters glanced at each other helplessly.

"Grandfather, is it Yang Xuyao?" Duanmu Jun asked suddenly.

Duanmuxian was silent and slowly drank his tea.

It took a moment before he nodded.

Although Duanmujun guessed so, this was just a guess after all, because Yang Xuyao was the most likely candidate.

Seeing Duanmu Xian's affirmation at this moment, she couldn't help but be startled, and her pupils shrank.

Duanmu Jun took a deep breath, calmed down, and asked, "Grandfather, why?" ”

Duanmuxian took another sip of hot tea with the teacup, his expression was a little tangled, he actually didn't want to say that these filthy things had polluted the ears of his two granddaughters.

Duanmu Fei looked at Duanmu Xian eagerly, expecting him to go down.

Duanmuxian thought about it again, after the little granddaughter entered the palace, she would inevitably face these dirty things, and if the water was clear, there would be no fish, so she still had to know in her heart.

Moreover, even if he doesn't say it, "others" will say it, so it's better for him to say it.

Duanmuxian struggled with the words, and said euphemistically and vaguely: "Fu Yingxuan has already recruited, saying that the child she is pregnant with is Yang Xuyao's." ”

Duanmujun figured it out at once.

She remembered the words of Duanmu Qi of Qingjing Temple, the scolding of Duanmu Chao and his wife and the maid Xia Jin in the Jingzhao Mansion Public Hall, and Fu Yingxuan, at this moment, it was like those scattered beads were strung together by a thread.

Duanmujun's delicate willow eyebrows furrowed, and his face showed disgust.

It was Yang Xuyao who used Duanmu Qi, Xia Jin, Duanmu Chao and Xiao He, and Fu Yingxuan, in order to achieve his own "ambition".

He's greedy!

Duanmu Xian saw that Duanmu Jun understood, so he didn't say anything further.

He also sighed about Yang Xuyao's ambition in his heart.

Yang Xuyao had a good calculation, he wanted to arrange Fu Yingxuan, who was pregnant, into Mu Yan's harem and let her give birth to a child, so that the child was the eldest son of the emperor.

Then, if Mu Yan has a chance in the future, the child with the blood of the Yang family will be the natural "heir" of Dasheng Jiangshan.

Yang Xuyao is learning from Lu Buwei!

He wants to seek prosperity without blood!

Yang Xuyao's plan is interlocking, if the person he calculates is not his granddaughter, but someone else, nine times out of ten he has succeeded.

Duanmu Xian raised his eyes and looked at his little granddaughter, and his expression could not hide his pride. His granddaughter is smart!

Duanmufei, who was sitting by the window, was slowly peeling pine nuts and eating them.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, her eyes were darker and brighter, and she smiled lightly.

Duanmu saw that Duanmu Xian had been staring at him, so he gave him the peeled pine nuts with filial piety.

Duanmu Xian accepted his granddaughter's filial piety from kindness, and thought beautifully: The granddaughter is not only smart, but also filial!

To tell the truth, his little granddaughter always has a smiling face, and he doesn't know if this girl understands what he just said.

He didn't want to ask, so be it anyway.

Duanmu Xian thought to himself.

Duanmu watched his sister work hard to peel pine nuts for her grandfather, and also joined the team of peeling pine nuts.

On the one hand, Duanmuxian felt useful, but on the other hand, his heart began to be entangled again, remembering Duanmujun's words, his heart and liver were poked again.

Duanmujun put the peeled pine nuts into the plate in Duanmuxian's hand, and smiled slightly, bright and moving.

Looking at his eldest granddaughter, Duanmu Xian's heart was filled with extremely tangled emotions, and he was stuck in his throat in one breath, not up or down.

He took a few more sips of hot tea, and then continued the topic just now: "On the day when the people from the Ministry of Rites came to the mansion in February, your second uncle and second aunt suddenly came to make trouble, and Xu was also instigated by Yang Xuyao. ”

Duanmuxian didn't connect these things until he looked back today, which should be the first step of Yang Xuyao's plan.

Duanmujun also remembered the events of February 20.

Although Duanmuxian hadn't told her about that day before, Duanmujun was in charge of the house, and naturally he couldn't hide it from her if such a big thing happened.

However, Duanmu Jun considered Duanmu Xian's hard work, so he didn't ask about it.

Duanmu Xian let out a long sigh, his eyes changed brightly and secretly, and his voice was slightly astringent, "So, last time your second uncle and they came again, I never thought that your second sister really had an accident." ”

He only thought that Duanmu Chao and his wife were playing some tricks, but if he saw them that day, things would not have come to this point.

Obviously, Yang Xuyao should have calculated carefully, calculated Duanmu Chao and his wife, and his reaction at that time.

This kind of step-by-step calculation of people's hearts, Yang Xuyao has really achieved the extreme.

"Blame me for ......" Duanmuxian's voice grew softer and softer, and finally dissipated into the air.

Outside, the sunset had already set halfway, and the sky was dyed bright red by the sunset, like fire and blood, and there was a faint sadness in the air.

The spring breeze was blowing slowly, and the trees and flowers in the courtyard were rustling and swaying in the wind, and the rustling sound was like a sigh, gone with the wind......

Duanmujun and Duanmufei didn't know how to comfort Duanmuxian, so they didn't speak.

Duanmuxian just let out a sigh of emotion, he has lived for most of his life, experienced so many ups and downs, and has seen all the ups and downs of life, such as "If you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves", he also understands.

It's just that when things happen to himself and his relatives, it is him, and it is inevitable that he will imagine some "ifs".

Duanmuxian continued to drink tea, and when he finished drinking this cup of tea, he also collected his emotions.

"Big girl, four girls," Duanmuxian looked at the sisters while putting down the teacup, "Don't go out today." Tonight, I probably won't be back. ”

"Yes, grandfather." The sisters obediently complied.

"You two have an early rest tonight." Duanmu Xian said again, got up and stroked his robe, and planned to leave.

The sisters hurriedly got up and personally sent Duanmuxian out of the hall.

When Duanmu Xian stepped out of the hall with his robe, he suddenly stopped and stopped under the eaves. He turned his head to look at Duanmu and asked, "Big girl, have you really thought it through?" ”

Under the shadow of the eaves, Duanmuxian's body was half bright and half dark, his face was a little blurred, and his expression was solemn.

His question had no beginning or end, but Duanmujun naturally understood what he was asking.

"Yes." She smiled, her eyes flowing, filled with a kind of delicate beauty unique to a young girl.

Duanmu Fei looked at Duanmu for a while, and looked at Duanmu Xian for a while, his big eyes flickering.

"......" Duanmu Xian squinted at Duanmu Jun, who was only half a head shorter than himself, the corners of his lips pursed into a straight line, his eyes were dark, and he was not angry.

Time seemed to stand still for a moment at this moment, and the grandfather and grandson were both motionless, as if they were engaged in a silent contest.

Duanmujun is always smiling, and on his delicate face, his bright smile is bright and moving.

Duanmuxian's heart was even more blocked, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I won't agree." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Duanmu Xian walked down the steps and left in a hurry, with a bit of majesty in his back that rejected people thousands of miles away.

Duanmujun didn't seem to care, smiled and took Duanmufei's hand, and said, "Zhenzhen, let's go see Lan Zhou and Brother Ze'er." ”

"Sister, I bought another music box for Ze Ge'er yesterday, he will definitely like it."

"I see that Ze Ge'er likes to listen to music very much, and as soon as he listens to the music, he applauds and beats the beat."

“……”

Duanmu Xian, who was in front, also heard the conversation between the sisters, and his heart was congested for a while.

That's it. Duanmu Xian said to himself in his heart, don't think about it first, he's busy today.

Thinking about the official documents piled up on the desk, thinking about the Yang family, Duanmu Xian felt a headache and sped up his pace to leave.

He got into the carriage at the Yimen, and originally wanted the groom to go back to the Yamen of the Household Department directly, but when the words came to his lips, he changed his words again: "Take a detour to the Yang family and then go to the Household Department." ”

Although the horseman didn't know why, he would not question Duanmuxian's decision, and drove the carriage to the Yang Mansion.

The Yang family has been sealed by the forbidden army, and even the entire street of Fengxian Street, where the Yang family is located, is guarded by the forbidden army, and idlers are not allowed to enter.

Duanmuxian only glanced at Yang Mansion from a distance, and then asked the horseman to continue to rush to the household department.

The entire Fengxian Street was shrouded in layers of clouds, and the air was filled with an air of impending wind and rain, and the people of the other mansions on the street were also silent, and all the doors were closed.

Especially the Yang family, people are even more panicked.

This is the second time that the Yang family has been raided in just a few years, that is, in the Dasheng Dynasty, which is also an extremely rare thing.

In the Yang Mansion, both the master and the servant, all of them were driven into the two halls like livestock, and they were guarded by the forbidden army.

Those forbidden army soldiers searched the corners of the Yang Mansion, and they were eager to dig three feet into the ground.

It's only been an hour, and they have already checked the corners and corners of the Yang Mansion, and they have also checked all the people in the mansion......

A square-faced young man carried a long knife and hurried to the main hall of the outer courtyard.

The sun set even lower, and a large cloud of fire spread out in the western sky, brilliant in color.

In the main hall, two handsome young men sat by the window drinking tea through a wishful little square table, one in a purple robe and the other in a blue robe, and the two were talking with a smile.

Most of them were Mu Yan who said, and Cen Yin listened.

The square-faced young general walked forward without squinting, looking casual on the surface, but in fact, he was shocked: in this Dasheng Dynasty, probably only Cen Yin dared to sit with the emperor like this in disregard of humility.

The square-faced young general quickly walked up to the two, respectfully clasped his fists and saluted, and said to Mu Yanyu: "Your Majesty, the Yang family has been taken down from top to bottom, but I haven't seen Yang Xuyao." ”

Mu Yan smiled and fanned the peony flower folding fan in his hand, and said casually: "Then 'chase'." ”

Mu Yan smiled meaningfully, and deliberately increased the volume on the word "chasing".

Since Yang Xuyao loves to run, then they chase, chase him, and chase him.

Yang Xuyao played such a big game of chess, and he must have prepared a way out after defeat.

His destination is not difficult to guess, it must be Jinju.

The Yang family has hidden a lot of secrets, and they are hidden very deeply, rather than them checking them one by one, which is time-consuming and laborious, it is better to let Yang Xuyao take the initiative to dig it out by himself, and they only need to deliberately let him go and make it look like they are tracking.

The folding fan in Mu Yan's hand fanned again and again, and a sly light flashed in his phoenix eyes.

The square-faced young general's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood.

"Yes, Your Majesty." After the square-faced young general received the order, he retreated quickly, and his pace was vigorous.

Mu Yan casually put away the folding fan again, and said to Cen Yin: "This Yang family is quite big!" ”

"It took a lot of effort to dig Yang Xuyao out this time!"

Of course, it's also their own Zhen Zhen who is smart enough!

The corners of Mu Yan's lips were curved, and he felt a little complacent.

This time, they kind of followed the trend.

Over the years, there have been many things that they have not found the source, such as the fire guns in Jinjiazhai and the batch of fire guns found by the Xie family, such as the robbery of the third prince in Jinzhou, such as the spies in Nanhuai who were secretly rescued in the suburbs of Beijing......

For a long time, he and Cen Yin knew that there was a force lurking in the shadows, and it was hidden very deeply, but they had not been able to dig out this "tumor".

It wasn't until this morning that Duanmu went to the court of Jingzhao Mansion to reveal the clues.

The person behind the scenes can be regarded as scheming, inciting students, promoting evil, coupled with the serial schemes of the princess's mansion, such a big game is interlocking, and his ambition can be seen.

"This time, we should be able to uproot them." Cen Yin also smiled with his eyebrows, and his eyes flashed with sharp light.

The afterglow of the setting sun gilded him with a golden-red halo, which made his skin as delicate as jade, not like a real person.

Today in the public court, Duanmu Chao and Xiao He were aggressive.

At that time, they could also control the court and directly take down Duanmu Chao and Yang Xuyao, but this was only a symptom but not a cure, and they could not uproot the hidden forces of the Yang family, and there would be a hidden danger that would occur again at some point.

Instead of doing this, it is better to take this opportunity to spend a little more time to sweep away all the Yang family's dependences once and for all.

Moreover, at that time, those students and the people were instigated by the Duanmu Dynasty, and when they were filled with righteous indignation, it was not suitable to suppress them by iron-blooded means, which would only cause public indignation.

Since it is Shilin's matter, then Shilin will solve it, let these movers see themselves being used with their own eyes, and then they will go to the court to clarify Duanmujun, which can have the effect of not being bloody.

So, at that time, they chose to stand still.

Mu Yan toasted Cen Yin with tea instead of wine, and praised: "Big brother, sister is really clever. ”

In that unfavorable situation, Duanmu Jun also knew that he had asked these students to go to the princess's mansion, which just matched their plan.

Otherwise, if Wen Wuchen took the initiative to find these students, it would inevitably seem too deliberate, and it would not be as natural as today.

The smile on the corner of Cen Yin's lips became stronger, and his narrow eyes were full of light. She has always been intelligent and clever.

Mu Yan curiously leaned his face towards Cen Yin. Obviously there were no outsiders here, but he still deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Big brother, did you let someone and my sister deliver the news in advance and ask her to cooperate with us?" ”

Cen smiled faintly: "There are some things that don't need to be said very clearly. ”

He knew she would understand, he knew she believed in him, and she always believed in him.

Cen Yin's long, thick eyelashes were half-drooping, covering the ripples in his pupils.

"Big brother, you and your sister really have a good heart," Mu Yan smiled and moved his face towards Cen Yin by half an inch, "Isn't it?" Isn't it? Say it! ”

Cen Yin directly gave him a roll of the eyes, and Mu Yan was sure that if they were not in the Yang Mansion at the moment, but in the East Factory, the little scorpion would have already helped Cen Yin ask him to "get out".
