Chapter 487: The Plan Failed
Shen Caiyi was skeptical, although Peony's plan would get a certain effect every time, she was still very worried.
After all, now Nalan Jin is followed by an inseparable Xue Sanniang, what kind of person is she, when Shen Caiyi was in the Western Regions, he heard of her ruthlessness.
Killing people without blinking an eye is a gentle and humane way to deal with sin.
Reserved that Xue Sanniang can come up with three hundred methods of torturing people without repeating them.
Even if she wasn't discovered by Xue Sanniang, her fists and feet alone were enough for a person to spend the rest of their lives in bed.
"That's what you say, but do you know what kind of person Xue Sanniang is? She is rampant in the Western Regions, and many well-known people, many male horse thieves, all retreat when they see her. ”
Shen Caiyi turned around in front of Peony worriedly, and told Peony everything he knew about Xue Sanniang, these statements were only omitted, and there was no exaggeration.
"Don't be angry with others and destroy your own prestige. Xue Sanniang is ruthless, but it is only bright and bright, and the so-called open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to defend. There is a mystery in Peony's words, as if he is warning Shen Caiyi.
"I hope your plan succeeds, or I'll die with no place to bury." Shen Caiyi looked at Peony worriedly, "When the time comes, you can get out of the way, but I'm in Nalan Mansion, I'm afraid that there will be nowhere to stay." ”
Shen Caiyi's worries are not without a certain reason, Peony has Zhao Wenlu as a backer behind him, and he is a relative of the emperor.
To put it bluntly, Shen Caiyi is in Nalan Mansion, and her name is not right at all, she is not even as good as a maid with status, once something happens, she will lose her pawn and protect the car, and people like them are the easiest to be thrown out.
"Don't worry." Peony smiled and comforted Shen Caiyi, "We have always been grasshoppers on a rope, one is prosperous, and the other is lost." ”
"That's good, I'm the only one I can rely on now."
Shen Caiyi pinned all her reliance on Peony's body as her only life-saving straw.
But Peony regards her as a stepping stone on the road to revenge, and once she achieves her goal, she will be discarded at any time, whether she lives or dies.
When Dongfang Yi was in charge of his business, he took a month off with the old emperor and stayed at home, but the interface made everyone suspicious.
The excuse he made was that Nalan Zhen's tomb was to be repaired, but everyone knew that it was not the rainy season, there was no landslide, and it was impossible to move the grave for no reason.
At first, the old emperor also felt that Dongfang Yi's excuse was a bit absurd, and the minister's objection was rejected by the old emperor.
But Dongfang Yi handed the fold to the old emperor, he just glanced at it, and immediately agreed to Dongfang Yi to take a month off.
After that, no matter how the ministers objected, the old emperor always insisted on his holy will and made up for any reasons at all.
This made Zhao Wenlu and others, who were already puzzled, even more puzzled.
Zhao Wenlu asked people close to Dongfang Yi to listen to the tone, and then, even they didn't know what Dongfang Yi had said to the old emperor when he suddenly took leave.
"This is strange, Dongfang Yi took a good leave of absence for a month, there must be something wrong here." Zhao Wenlu pondered.
"Since the master is suspicious, wouldn't it be clear if he sent someone to investigate?" The housekeeper showed off his own careful thinking to Zhao Wenlu.
"Do you think this king doesn't know? The king you can think of has already done it, but he can't find any news, and Cai feels that Dongfang Yi's appearance is suspicious. Zhao Wenlu loudly accused the housekeeper of being clever.
"Maybe, I'm also worried about the prince." The housekeeper had no choice but to comfort Zhao Wenlu.
"A group of useless waste, it seems that we should still find peonies, and such a group of men can't compete with a woman. This king sometimes really doubts that your heads can hold anything but food. ”
Often at this time, Zhao Wenlu's first thought is peony.
The two of them hadn't seen each other for a long time. Suddenly appearing in the other party's sight is inevitably a little embarrassing.
So, Zhao Wenlu found some things rewarded by the old emperor to visit the peony.
Dongfang Yi explained the discovery of the business to Xue Sanniang, and took Nalan Jin out for a walk.
"Is this how you Central Plains people do your landlord's friendship? You're really not kind to me at all. Xue Sanniang looked at Nalan Jin and his wife with a dark face.
"It's okay, it's just the basics, besides, isn't the reconciliation between us what you've always wanted." Dongfang Yi secretly gave Xue Sanniang a look.
Xue Sanniang had no choice but to knock out her teeth and swallow it in her stomach. Bear all the consequences and help Nalan Jin take care of the business.
"Dongfang, take me with you. You never took me out for a walk, you always say that I don't get along with Sister Jin'er, how can you get along well if you don't give us a chance to get to know each other, okay with me? ”
Shen Caiyi is flattering and coquettish. Dongfang Yi looked at Nalan Jin, she didn't react, so she had to reluctantly agree to take it.
Along the way, Shen Caiyi was very well-behaved, walking with the carriage, Nalan Jin asked her to rest in the car, but she refused.
"Sister Jin'er, I'm not tired, you just sit with Dongfang, I'll go to the front and have a look." Shen Caiyi said and ran to the front of the carriage.
Nalan Jin looked at Dongfang Yi suspiciously, "Did you pour her some ecstasy soup, or did she give you a drug." How the two of you are a little inexplicable is hard to figure out. ”
"It has nothing to do with me, and I'm wondering."
Dongfang Yi said that he was also the one who was kept in the dark. The two discussed in the car for a long time and did not find a reasonable explanation.
Shen Caiyi ran to the front, and all kinds of coughs reminded him, but no one came out. Confused, she thought she had heard the wrong news.
A few people wandered in the mountains, there are a lot of unknown wild fruits here, Dongfang Yi tasted it, it was very sweet, and he took Nalan Jin to pick it.
Shen Caiyi also followed behind him inch by inch, but his attention was not on those fruits at all.
"Sister Jin'er, don't go east."
Shen Caiyi suddenly shouted, at first glance, it sounded like she was kindly reminding Nalan Jin, but in fact, she was intentionally or unintentionally exposing Nalan Jin's direction.
"Okay." Nalan Jin felt a little surprised.
Suddenly, several burly black-clad masked figures burst out of the dense forest. Their goal is very clear, that is, Nalan Jin and his wife.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, the man in black disguises himself as a bandit.
"I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if you want to pick the fruit, leave it to buy the road wealth." The man in black opened his mouth to identify himself.
"We don't know that Mount Tai has accidentally entered the precious land, and we are careful not to pay respect. We'll be sure to thank you another day. Dongfang Yi protected Nalan Jin behind him and threw the few taels of silver he had on his body to the man in black.
Obviously, the purpose of these men in black is not silver at all, "Since there is none, I see that these girls around you are good-looking, and they should be able to sell for a good price." ”
"You can take my life if you want, but you can't touch Jin'er." Dongfang Yi covered his chest, willing to exchange his life for a life, which made Nalan Jin very moved when he heard it.
"Orient, don't talk nonsense." Nalan Jin reminded in a low voice.
"If that's the case, then leave your life alone."
Saying that it was too late, the man in black rushed directly in front of Dongfang Yi with a knife, and his gaze turned to Nalan Jin behind him, and he didn't have time to dodge.
Seeing that his body was about to be pierced, Shen Caiyi rushed to Dongfang Yide and used his flesh and blood to block the knife for him.
Dongfang Yi looked at Shen Caiyi in front of him and was stunned for a moment, and pushed her away at the moment, but he didn't expect his arm to be pierced by the man in black.
Shhh
"East!" Shen Caiyi shouted.
"Dongfang, are you alright?" Nalan Jin looked worriedly at Dongfang Yi's bleeding arm.
"I'm fine, Jin'er run."
Dongfang Yi didn't care about the pain, and ran away at the bottom of the mountain with Nalan Jin, and the man in black chased after them.
Shen Caiyi sat stupidly in place, at the critical moment, Dongfang Yi still chose Nalan Jin, even if she blocked the knife for him, he still didn't take it to heart.
She couldn't let the planned bitter meat plan be stillborn, so she chased the man in black down the mountain.
Peony waited anxiously for news in the house.
She discussed with Zhao Wenlu in advance and let him ambush at the foot of the mountain, and when Nalan Jin and his wife were forced to the foot of the mountain by the man in black, he happened to be in danger and stretched out.
The blood on Dongfang Yi's arm dripped all the way, and he was chased by the man in black all the way with the blood on the ground.
"Jin'er, you don't have to worry about me, run away. I'm going to lure them away. If nothing else, you can safely return to the house. Dongfang Yi found himself revealed.
"And what do you do?" Nalan Jin looked up.
"Don't worry, you won't drag me down, you can deal with them, and you're looking for someone to save me when the time comes." Dongfang Yi pushed Nalan Jin away.
"If you don't leave, I won't leave, don't want to leave me alone." Nalan Jin glanced at it, and it seemed that the enemy was not far away, "Come, I'll help you go quickly." ”
Nalan Jin finally escaped to the main road and found that there were officers and soldiers in front of him. Desperate, they were overjoyed and hurried over.
"Help! Someone is going to kill us. Nalan Jin shouted out of breath.
"Jin'er, Dongfang, what happened? How could you be so embarrassed? Zhao Wenlu looked surprised.
"Three Princes!" Nalan Jin was a little shocked.
"I've seen ......" Dongfang Yi didn't want to be caught, so he saluted Zhao Wenlu.
"Don't be polite, how do you hurt your arm, go to the car first and find someone to treat you." Zhao Wenlu pointed casually.
"Thank you."
Although Nalan Jin was puzzled, but looking at Dongfang Yi's appearance, there was no blood on his face, so he didn't have extra time to think, so he took Dongfang Yi to bandage his wound first.
Zhao Wenlu twitched the corners of his mouth proudly.
