Chapter 177: I promised my brother that I had to do it
As soon as these words came out, Yu Xizhou suddenly raised her head, her face was red, but it was not shy, but angry, this assassin was so indifferent to her.
Yu Xizhou stopped talking, staring at that place, only to see a slender figure slowly walking out of the darkness.
That figure, Yu Xizhou will never forget in his life.
"Xizhou."
Yu Xizhou's lips moved slightly, "Shen Nanfeng ......"
The person who came was Shen Nanfeng, who was still wearing the clothes of a guard, no wonder no one stopped him when he just came in.
Shen Nanfeng walked to Yu Xizhou's side, Yu Xizhou's eyes were red, and he almost cried, "Why are you here?" You scared me to death, you know. ”
Looking at Yu Xizhou's appearance, Shen Nanfeng felt distressed for a while, and regretted that he had just frightened Yu Xizhou. He stretched out his hand to hug Yu Xizhou, Yu Xizhou did not refuse, she urgently needed to calm down, now that she was in the country, it was as if she was walking on the blade, and she really didn't dare to take a wrong step.
After a long time, Yu Xizhou asked, "Why are you here, isn't it, is something happened to Shen Huang?" ”
"Xizhou, don't worry, I'm here this time not for anything else, I just want to see you and the child." Shen Nanfeng said.
Speaking of his daughter, Yu Xizhou looked down at Nannan, I don't know when, the child who had been crying had fallen asleep.
Yu Xizhou was about to say something when a voice came from outside, "Catch the assassin."
The two people in the dark room looked at each other and hurriedly ran out.
When this was in danger, Yu Xizhou didn't dare to put the child alone in the bedroom, so he had to protect the child in his arms.
The servants of the General's Mansion had already gathered around, not knowing what they were looking at, Yu Xizhou put on a momentum and said, "What are you doing when you don't do anything, I just heard someone say that you are catching assassins?" ”
Seeing that Yu Xizhou was coming, a circle of servants hurriedly knelt down, and the housekeeper bowed his head and said, "Mrs. Hui's words, someone just found out that a guard died in the courtyard, I'm afraid it was the assassin who did it." ”
After the servants knelt down, the corpse in the middle was exposed, and sure enough, it was the corpse of a guard, Yu Xizhou glanced at Shen Nanfeng, and Shen Nanfeng shook his head gently.
Seeing this action, Yu Xizhou frowned, the assassin definitely didn't come in to kill just one guard, and he dared to kill so openly, he must have believed that he would not be discovered, and he would not leave until he killed the target.
In other words, now she and her children are in an extremely dangerous state.
Just when Yu Xizhou didn't know what to do, Shen Nanfeng seemed to see something, he walked among the servants, pointed to one of the subordinates and asked the butler, "Have you seen this person?" ”
However, there are too many people in the General's Mansion, even the housekeeper can't remember so many people, and the housekeeper hasn't said whether he has seen this person or not.
But this servant was pulled out and didn't see how he panicked, and Shen Nanfeng, who couldn't wait for an answer for a long time, lost his patience and slapped it directly.
The man dodged sideways, and actually dodged this palm.
Shen Nanfeng's eyes narrowed, he held the person's wrist with his backhand, and pulled it hard, the person's center of gravity was unstable, and he planted it forward, and Shen Nanfeng took the opportunity to restrain the person's neck.
"Tell me, who sent you!"
Seeing this assassin sneer, Shen Nanfeng secretly said in his heart that it was bad, and before he could stop it, black blood flowed from the corner of the assassin's mouth.
The butler next to him was so frightened that his eyes widened, and the kneeling servant lowered his head even more, not daring to raise it.
"Dead?" Yu Xizhou asked softly.
Shen Nanfeng nodded, and threw the assassin's body aside, "Poisoned." ”
With a little annoyance, he said, "Blame me for not paying attention." ”
Yu Xizhou shook his head and said, "It's okay, even if he doesn't take poison, I'm afraid we won't be able to ask anything." Thank you for protecting me. ”
Hearing Yu Xizhou's words, Shen Nanfeng didn't look very happy, "Protecting you was originally what I should do." It's good that I'm here, otherwise ......"
Seeing Shen Nanfeng's appearance, Yu Xizhou hurriedly said, "But you're here, aren't you." He also helped me catch the assassin, and now that the assassin is dead, you can rest assured. ”
"But now, just an assassin died, and I can't find the mastermind behind it for a day, then you and the child will not be safe for a day, let me, how can I rest assured." Shen Nanfeng gritted his teeth and said.
The eyes of the dead assassin on the ground were still open, and he looked at the night sky like this, as if there was a deep evil outpouring of it.
In front of a servant, the two of them had many things that were inconvenient to say.
So Yu Xizhou brought Shen Nanfeng into the room, and Shen Nanfeng's face was still not very good-looking.
After putting Nannan on the bed and making sure that Nannan would not fall off, Yu Xizhou sat at the table with Shen Nanfeng.
Shen Nanfeng has been knocking on the table with his bent hands, which is a manifestation of a person's irritability and thinking.
I'm afraid that if I don't say anything today, Shen Nanfeng probably won't be able to go back with peace of mind. I love
After thinking about it for a while, Yu Xizhou understood the twists and turns, and she sighed, "If you have to ask who is behind the scenes, I think this matter was done by the emperor." ”
"Think about it, is the timing of this assassin's coming too coincidental, it just so happens that the general and his wife went to the house of another minister as a guest, and He Chao is not by my side." Yu Xizhou analyzed.
When mentioning He Chao, Shen Nanfeng childishly held Yu Xizhou's hand, Yu Xizhou smiled, "I am afraid that the only person who can know that He Chao and the general are not there at the same time is the person who sits on the throne of the dynasty." ”
Hearing this conclusion, Shen Nanfeng's face became even more ugly, the hatred of the country and the family, the Liangzi between him and the emperor has become bigger, from now on, I am afraid that if one of them dies, this hatred and hatred will be endless.
After sitting for a while, Shen Nanfeng left. It's not convenient for him to stay here any longer.
When the general and his wife returned, they were shocked when they heard that there were assassins in the house, and after careful questioning, they learned that no one was injured except for the dead guard, especially after Yu Xizhou and the child were not injured, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
Ling Shi took Yu Xizhou's hand and looked at Yu Xizhou distressedly: "Xizhou, fortunately you didn't have an accident, otherwise, the general and I wouldn't know what to do." ”
After speaking, he blamed himself again: "It's all our fault, it's too careless." ”
Yu Xizhou shook his head: "Don't say such things, aren't my children and I okay now." ”
Speaking of the child, Ling looked at the girl who was sleeping soundly in the cradle next to him, and said, "It's bitter for this child...... By the way, who caught that assassin yesterday? ”
"Madam, you don't have to worry about this matter......"
The Ling family is also smart, and seeing Yu Xizhou's appearance, he knows that she doesn't want to say more. Ling was not embarrassed, but just asked Yu Xizhou to pay more attention to rest, and left.
At this moment, a white dove flew over in the sky, Yu Xizhou stretched out her hand, and the white dove landed on her hand.
When he opened the note, it was Shen Nanfeng who made an appointment to meet in Xizhou at the restaurant.
And the time is actually on this afternoon, so urgent, I'm afraid Shen Nanfeng has something important.
After burning the note sent by Shen Nanfeng, Yu Xizhou said hello to the general and his wife, and went to the restaurant where the two met.
When he was going upstairs, he saw the agreed place, where two people were sitting, and the back of another person besides Shen Nanfeng also made Yu Xizhou feel very familiar.
But it just made Yu Xizhou unable to remember who this person was.
When Yu Xizhou was thinking about who this person was, Shen Nanfeng, who had been looking here, had already seen her and beckoned.
It seemed that he saw Shen Nanfeng's movements, and the person who was originally facing away from Yu Xizhou slowly turned around, and a handsome face similar to Shen Nanfeng came into Yu Xizhou's eyes.
"King Shengqing...... Shen Yuwu? ”
When Yu Xizhou sat down, she whispered the name of the person.
Shen Yuwu nodded, obviously very happy that he was recognized.
Shen Nanfeng said helplessly: "Something happened to Shen Guo, this king has to go back, I'm afraid I don't even have time to eat with you today, but this king really can't rest assured that you and his daughter, so I invited Yu Wu to take care of you." ”
After speaking, he said to Shen Yuwu: "Then the king will leave first, you must protect Xizhou." ”
The three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Shen Nanfeng left.
Leaving Shen Yuwu and Yu Xizhou to look at each other, for a long time, Yu Xizhou said: "I'm tired of you, and I have to protect our mother and daughter." ”
Hearing this, Shen Yuwu shook his head: "This king is not here just to protect you. ”
"Oh? How do you say that? Yu Xizhou asked.
Shen Yu said: "This matter, there is a little trouble, Shen Guoguo, there is a conspiracy." ”
"Spies?" Yu Xizhou frowned slightly, "Did the emperor do it again?" ”
"There are no useful clues yet, but it is confirmed that there is indeed a spy in the country. He was very cunning, and the king did not find out much. Shen Yu looked helpless, "So I had to come to this country to see if there was any news." ”
Yu Xizhou thought for a while and said, "It's better to go into the palace like this and check it out." As long as it is done by people, it is impossible to erase a trace and leave no trace. ”
Indeed, entering the palace to find out the news is the most direct and effective method, but Shen Yuwu frowned and said: "But it is impossible for the emperor to open the palace door wide, let us go in, right?" ”
"Well, you don't have to worry about that." Yu Xizhou said with a smile, "I can use the general of the dynasty to cover for me, and it is not difficult to enter the palace." ”
After pondering for a while, Shen Yuwu didn't speak, and just when Yu Xizhou thought that Shen Yuwu agreed, Shen Yuwu said, "It's better not to act rashly for the time being." ”
"But Shen Guo is a spy ......" Yu Xizhou was interrupted before he finished speaking.
"Shen Guo's spies, this king will deal with it, if there is a need, he will definitely come to you, but you are now being watched too closely by the emperor, and if there is any big move, you will inevitably be caught." Shen Yu said, "Don't forget, this king is here to protect you, and this king's nephew, if you are injured because of this king's mission, this king will not be able to explain to Nanfeng." Now, all you have to do is protect yourself and your daughter. ”
Looking at Shen Yuwu's appearance, Yu Xizhou knew that it was probably impossible to help now, but fortunately, Shen Yuwu said that he would come to her if he needed help.
Yu Xizhou nodded and agreed.
