Chapter 9 The King of Qin is suspicious

Thief Li glanced at Murong Xun, his black eyes were meaningless, and he licked his lips in a hoarse voice, "Do you hate me?" ”

Murong Xun said: "You have the right to make your own choice, and I don't have any right to interfere with your choice." But from the moment you make your choice, shouldn't you know the end? Thief, why don't we take a look at some! Wouldn't it be nice if the two didn't owe each other? When she spoke, her eyebrows were indifferent, and there was no ripple-like change in her tone of voice.

The thief was shocked and closed his eyes in despair, "Your character is like this, I shouldn't have hoped that you would give me another chance in the first place, right?" ”

The knock on the door sounded, and Murong Xun turned around, and there was no longer a thief. She sighed softly, the two don't owe each other, it's not easy to talk about! When he opened the door, he saw that there were already a few guards standing in front of the door, Murong Xun's eyes showed a little horror, and asked, "May I ask a few officials, is there something wrong?" ”

At this time, the guards made a way to get out of the way, and when he saw Zhao Ling in a white brocade robe slowly approaching, he smiled gently at Murong Xun, and said, "Girl, don't be afraid, there was a murder on the street below last night, I don't know if the girl heard any suspicious noises at night?" ”

Murong Xun thought for a while, shook his head again, and said, "I slept too deeply last night, I didn't hear it!" ”

"Really?" Zhao Lingyang raised his eyebrows slightly, a few traces of unpredictability appeared in his eyes as deep as Gu Tan, pursed his lips, and hooked up a smile, "Girl, do you want to think about it carefully?" ”

Murong Xun looked away and looked behind Zhao Ling, there were other guards knocking on the door on the long aisle to ask about the other guests last night. She lowered her head and frowned as if she was thinking seriously, "In the second half of the night, I seemed to hear some noises, and I was half awake and half asleep, and I thought it was a dream!" I didn't expect it, but it's true, but I really should get up and take a look, so as to help the military master solve the case! ”

Zhao Ling said: "It's right that you didn't get up to see it, a girl is single outside, and she always has to pay attention to something, especially a girl as beautiful as a girl." He smiled faintly, "Excuse me!" ”

When he had finished speaking, he retreated and went out, and the guards closed the gate.

"Can you find out the identities of the people in the inn?" Zhao Ling asked as he walked.

He was followed by a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy with a deferential expression and replied, "It's been checked!" ”

"Who was that girl just now, and why do I always think she looks like an old friend of mine?" Zhao Ling furrowed his sword eyebrows, his eyes full of doubts and puzzles.

"That girl came out of Prime Minister Zuo's mansion, and it was said that she was pretending to be Prime Minister Murong's missing daughter and then it was exposed, but the strange thing is that this was a big crime, but Prime Minister Murong did not pursue it, but was simply sent out!" Zhao Hui replied, paused and said: "According to the report from the spies just now, several bodies of the Xiangfu guards were found around the inn, but the wound is the same person as the guard of Yan Proton who was killed last night!" ”

"Oh?" The corners of Zhao Ling's mouth twitched slightly, and two fingers brushed a trace of ink hair on his shoulder, "Since it was sent out, why are there still guards from the Prime Minister's Mansion to follow?" Do you want to kill her or protect her? If you want to kill her, you can do it in the Prime Minister's Mansion, why bother so much, if you want to protect her, why protect a person who pretends to be his daughter? It's a bit of fun! ”

"How did you get targeted by King Qin's people?" When Murong Yao entered the inn, the first thing he said was to ask Murong Xun with a smile, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked upwards when he spoke, and his eyes were slightly squinted, like a fox.

Murong Xun glanced at Murong Yao with too high eyelids, and his expression made her feel a kind of uneasiness and a faint chill, which made her dislike it very much. She retreated to the window, and looked out of the window at the street below, bustling as before. Those familiar sounds and scenes don't seem to have changed in any way because of the eight years of absence. And that's exactly what happened, the world didn't really stop his pace because of anyone.

She remembered that the biggest mistake in the past was to think too highly of herself, so that when she fell, she would be miserable and fall into the mud. Looking to the east, there is the majestic and solemn Purple Palace, which sits firmly in the center of the empire, staging those ambitions and desires for power, killing and exploits, and living its legends.

"The hawkers on the street below, the pedestrians, the guests in the opposite room, the roof of it, and the spies of the King of Qin around here are ten people!" Murong Xun leaned against the window and said with a light expression.

Murong Yao was obviously stunned for a moment, looking at Murong Xun's eyes with a little more in-depth, but he didn't want to continue the topic, so he looked at the room of this inn, his eyes fell on a pair of ink landscape drawings on the wall, and said with a light smile: "This place is not bad, but I am still a little worried." Zixuan is my trusted friend, why don't you live with him! ”

Murong Xun withdrew his gaze from the street, glanced at Murong Yao obliquely, and did not answer his words, but took out a jade plate with good texture and exquisite carving from his sleeve, the jade plate was engraved with the word "Murong", and seeing the surprise that flashed in Murong Yao's eyes, he said lightly: "When I was sent out last night, Uncle Mu quietly gave it to me!" ”

Murong Yao stroked his palm and smiled: "Father loves you, do you know that with this jade plate, the money in our Murong family's shop, silver building, and money village in Daxiang can be withdrawn by you, regardless of the reason, and without anyone's consent!" His smile was even bigger, but the smile never really reached the bottom of his eyes, and his eyes like night were also shining with a faint cold light.

Murong Xun took the jade plate back into his sleeve and said lightly: "Aren't you going to Shangguan?" ”

After the two of them retreated, they got into a carriage that Murong Yao had already prepared, and headed towards Shangguan Zixuan's residence on East Street. On the carriage, Murong Yao played with a piece of jade pendant on his waist, looked at Murong Xun's indifferent face, and asked, "Chang'an City may not be too calm in the next few days!" ”

After a pause, looking at Murong Xun, he just glanced at him faintly, and didn't ask what he imagined, "What happened?" He continued: "Last night Yan Proton was assassinated, and the assassin fled. Several of the guards who went after the Assassin were killed, and died in the street below the inn where you were staying. And when I went out this morning, I heard that several of our guards from the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion died last night......

"You're well-informed!" Through the curtain of the car, Murong Xun swept through the crowded street market, carefully observing the expressions of every passerby, "You are like a deep pool, no one knows how deep you are hiding!" Perhaps, getting rid of the eldest lady is easy for you, but your forbearance and your ambition are far more than that! She turned her head and looked at Murong Yao deeply, but his eyes were still dark, and she couldn't see any emotion, everything was in vain, she gave up, lowered her gaze, and embroidered a large rose in full bloom on the embroidered shoes under her feet.

"We, each other!" After a long time, Murong Yao said meaningfully.

Before he could delve into the meaning of Murong Yao's words, the carriage had already stopped. Murong Xun was about to pick up the curtain and get out of the car, but Murong Yao grabbed her arm and pulled her into the car.

Murong Xun slammed into the wall of the car, and next to her sideburns was a feather arrow, the whole arrow body was still trembling slightly, and from the gap in the car curtain, a black shadow flashed above the roof on the upper right. Murong Yao's voice sounded in his ears, "Listen, you are my sister, I will not hurt you, and I will not let anyone hurt you." Remember, we can only defend ourselves if we are strong enough, protect everything we want to protect, and want those who have done us harm to raise the sword of vengeance! ”

"Thank you!" Murong Xun pushed Murong Yao away, got out of the car, held her wrist with a warm palm, and put on a pair of amber eyes, conveying the owner's sincere concern, "Are you okay?" ”

Murong Xun shook his head, and the carriage behind him drove away, and under the sun, the dust raised was unusually clear, one by one, one by one. The trampled humility, with no choice, suspended in mid-air, involuntarily.

Shangguan Zixuan was wearing a beige robe today, with a jade belt tied around his waist, and the whole person was facing the wind, and the golden sunlight sprinkled on his body, fading out of a warm halo. A few strands of green silk were draped over his shoulders, his brows were furrowed, there was indescribable sorrow in his eyes, he glanced at the courtyard behind him, he turned back to Murong Xun and said, "Do you know the consequences of you walking into this courtyard today?" ”

Murong Xun glanced at the direction of the carriage, his eyes were slight, like a stream turned into winter snow, and the corners of his mouth provoked a touch of sarcasm, "I know!" She looked at Shangguan Zixuan, and suddenly smiled, "Brother, he seems to want to push me to you!" ”

Shangguan Zixuan also laughed, but there was a deep sadness in the smile, which made people feel distressed, "It's a pity, I'm not the girl's lover!" His voice was so soft and so light that you would think it was all an illusion.

The place where Shangguan Zixuan lives is an independent courtyard that has been split, and compared to the Shangguan Mansion, which occupies most of the East Street, it can be regarded as shabby.

At the entrance, you can see a few begonias blooming, and several houses are located in all directions.

There are various herbs planted in the courtyard, and you can smell the fragrance of the medicine from a distance. At this time, a servant greeted him and made a gesture to him, and after Shangguan Zixuan also made a few gestures, the servant smiled at Murong Xun, and then walked towards a room.

"Although Anu can't speak, he is very enthusiastic, if you have anything in the future, you can just tell him!"

"Then you can teach me sign language!"

While the two were talking, they saw smoke rising from a house, as if it was on fire, Murong Xun smiled apologetically, "I really didn't expect me to cause you trouble since then!" ”

Shangguan Zixuan looked at the billowing smoke, without any surprised expression on his face, just a little helpless, "This time it's really none of your business." I've had to go through this a few times a month, and I'm used to it! ”

Murong Xun was about to speak, when he heard someone shouting: "Shangguan Zixuan, you get out of here!" ”
