Chapter Thirty-Five: The Killing Comes Again
The smile on Murong Shan's lips had completely disappeared, she looked at the vitality of Peng Bo in the garden, her eyes shook and looked into the distance, that direction was the place where the third aunt was under house arrest, and snorted coldly, "Letter? How can it be! Let's wait and see what happens! She looked at the maid again and asked, "Where has Xiu'er gone?" ”
"Isn't Miss going to thank General Shen? Sister Xiu'er went to invite the little general! The maid replied with low eyes.
"I almost forgot!" Murong Shan cut her sideburns and said, "Let's go back to the room and freshen up first!" ”
The maid let out a smile, "Miss, but you're tempted by General Shen?" Also, the little general is also tall and mighty, and his martial arts are also superb, and he is infatuated with the young lady, if it weren't for the marriage between the young lady and the king of Qin, the little general would be a good husband! ”
A hint of blush appeared on Murong Shan's cheeks, and she looked at the little maid angrily, "If you dare to talk nonsense, see if I don't tear your mouth!" ”
"Hero, why did we go to the government?" Li Erhu asked a little puzzled, in his opinion, officials protect each other, how can they help us.
Xia Shuang smiled faintly, "Killers are coming one after another, if we are escorted to Chang'an by the people of the government, no one will dare to come again, after all, the government represents the imperial court, and no killer organization wants to go against the imperial court!" ”
When he arrived at the palace, Xia Shuang said to the officials: "Go and call the prefect out!" ”
The official looked Xia Shuang up and down at Li Erhu, who was already behind her, and sneered coldly, "The prefect didn't meet you when you saw him!" Go, go, go! ”
Xia Shuang's reddened eyes narrowed, revealing a few traces of murderous intent, untied the waist card on his waist, and handed it to the front of the officer, "Give me a closer look!" ”
Looking at the dark black jade token in front of him, the officer's face turned white in an instant, "Wait a minute, the villain will report it!" ”
After that, the official ran into the palace in a panic.
Li Erhu looked at Xia Shuang with wide eyes, followed Xia Shuang all the way in the past two days, and found that this guy who was neither male nor female had no other use except for being strong in martial arts, he didn't know the way, and he didn't bring silver when he went out, which caused the poor copper in his wallet not only to bear himself, but also to support her, so that his sense of worship for her plummeted. But I didn't expect that this guy was still a big official!
Suddenly, Li Erhu's eyes glowed with admiration again.
After a while, the prefect came out in a panic to greet him, and from afar, he hugged his fists and said: "Lord Xia came here to inspect, and the lower officials have missed the welcome, please forgive Lord Xia!" Although Xia Shuang's official position is not very high, but it is a secret organization of the royal family, secretly investigating officials for the emperor, if she offends her, she catches a little handle, and she will die!
Xia Shuang said lightly: "You don't have to be polite, Xia Shuang hopes that Da Neng can do a favor!" ”
The prefect looked up at Xia Shuang, "Lord Xia, please speak!" ”
"Give me a team of men and horses to escort us back to Beijing!"
The prefect frowned and glanced at Xia Shuang, and then looked at Li Erhu behind her, "But about the fake drug case in Shanxi?" ”
Xia Shuang looked at the prefect quietly and nodded.
The prefect said: "Xia Guan will immediately arrange people for the adults, but you see, it is getting late today, why don't you rest for one night in the cold house, how about setting off tomorrow?" ”
Xia Shuang moved her shoulders, "I've been traveling for a few days, and I'm tired, so it's going to be troublesome!" ”
The prefect warmly entertained Xia Shuang and Li Erhu and prepared a sumptuous banquet. Li Erhu was originally from the countryside, and he experienced a great drought and no harvest, so he was happy to eat this delicacy.
Xia Shuang picked up the wine glass, sniffed the tip of her nose, paused slightly, and quietly glanced at the prefect who was accompanying her, a sneer condensed on her lips, and she raised her head and drank the contents of the cup.
I saw that the prefect seemed to be relieved.
After eating, the prefect arranged a room for the two to rest.
The night was as dark as ink, the moon was hazy in the sky, and the stars were sparse.
In the darkness, Xia Shuang's eyes suddenly opened, and her reddened eyes became more and more bewitching and ghostly in the night. There was a trace of cold coldness in her eyes, she straightened up and muttered: "Your Majesty's worries are right, the influence of the four major families is too great, and even the remote towns have to worry about a little bit of the Shangguan family's face!" ”
"It's out of the water! Walk the water! ”
"Hurry up and put out the fire, hurry up and put out the fire!"
There were bursts of shouting outside, Xia Shuang walked to the window, pushed open the window, and the fire in the sky seemed to swallow everything like a ghost, reflecting half of the sky.
Almost burned most of the county government, in order to please the Shangguan family, the prefect has made a lot of money, Xia Shuang's eyes are as cold as ice, with the murderous aura of hunting!
"My lord, the people in the house are brought by Lord Xia, but the fire at this time is too big, we can't rush in!" A government official stood in front of the fire and reported to the prefect.
The prefect looked worried, "How is this good, Lord Xia is drunk again at the moment, and he can't wake up!" ”
"This is not bothering, the adults are worried!" Xia Shuang appeared behind the prefect like a ghost, and the prefect stiffened, turned around and looked at Xia Shuang in horror, "Lord Xia is not drunk!" ”
Xia Shuang snorted coldly, ignoring the pale prefect, his body scurried, and he had already rushed into the sea of fire, and after a while, he saw Xia Shuang carrying Li Erhu, who was still sleeping like a dead pig under such a fire, came out.
Throwing Li Erhu on the ground casually, Xia Shuang elegantly patted the dust on her body, pretended to be surprised and glanced at the prefect, and said, "Why is the adult's face whiter than mine?" ”
The prefect wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and smiled stiffly, "The lower official even feels cold, and his body is a little unwell!" ”
Xia Shuang sneered: "Then adults have to take care of their bodies!" The firelight in the sky made her face red, and her pale face seemed to be added with a trace of blood, "My lord has to put out the fire well!" ”
Xia Shuang bent down and lifted Li Erhu on the ground, "Xia Shuang said goodbye first!" ”
After leaving the county office, Xia Shuang lifted Li Erhu to the horse and rode quickly. Out of the county seat, it is a wilderness, full of strange rocks.
"Phew!" Xia Shuang stopped the horse, her eyes were as sharp as a knife, and she shouted: "Since you're here, don't you get out of here!" ”
With a few "bangs", several black shadows flashed from the night.
Xia Shuang looked at a few people coldly, and sneered on her lips, "It's hard work for a few people to follow all the way!" ”
Several black shadows attacked in unison with their swords, and the summer frost silver whip flashed, connecting several people with a few moves, "You have grown up!" ”
The sword light and sword shadow flickered, Xia Shuang wanted to protect Li Erhu on the one hand, and on the other hand, he had to face the battle, and the martial arts of these black-clothed people were outstanding, but it was a little difficult. And there have been killer sneak attacks every day in the past few days, she has barely closed her eyes, her physical strength is seriously exhausted, and she has been carelessly injured several times, and now, the situation is also critical.
I saw a big knife wave, Xia Shuang bent down to dodge, and when he got up, he saw a sleeve arrow rushing towards him.
Xia Shuang's eyebrows and eyes froze, she turned on one side slightly, and the arrow happened to shoot into her arm, she was slightly in pain, and with Li Erhu in one hand, she turned over and went under the horse, and took a few steps back, Xia Shuang threw Li Erhu to the ground, looked at the exposed arrow and the black blood dripping from her arm, frowned, damnable, it was actually poisonous! If they are lucky at this time, they are afraid that it will accelerate the onset of severe poison, and if they do not use it, it will be difficult for them to escape.
At this critical moment, I saw several silver arrows piercing the sky, and they all shot into the body of the man in black, and several people in black fell to the ground together, and a white silver arrow was inserted in the heart of the chest.
Xia Shuang's face remained unchanged, he exhaled slightly, and kicked Li Erhu on the ground, "Are you dead?" ”
Li Erhu snorted twice and continued to sleep.
Then a few horses' hooves sounded from far and near, and a white horse gradually appeared in front of Xia Shuang's eyes. I saw a young man in a white robe riding on the horse, with red lips and white teeth, handsome eyebrows, a silver bow in his hand, and several silver arrows on his back.
The young man jumped off the horse, crossed the corpse of the man in black, and came to Xia Shuang with a smile, with a smug look in his eyebrows, "Oh, there are still people who can hurt Sister Xia Shuang like this!" ”
Xia Shuang smiled faintly and beckoned to the young man, "Little Marquis, come here!" ”
The young man walked over, "What does Sister Xia Shuang have to say?" ”
Xia Shuang said with a smile: "Little Hou Ye's swordsmanship is becoming more and more superb, I'm afraid even Sun Jing is not your opponent!" She patted the young man's shoulder, smiled more and more brightly, moved her fingers up, pulled the young man's ear and reprimanded: "I haven't seen you for a few days, but your kid will kick his nose in the face!" Do you want me to peel you off! ”
The young man bared his teeth and cried with tears in his eyes: "Sister Xia Shuang will take revenge, I just saved my sister's life, and I knew that my sister was killed by these people!" ”
"What did you say?" Xia Shuang's men are getting harder and harder.
The young man laughed again: "Laughing, laughing!" ”
Xia Shuang suddenly felt soft all over, and fainted as soon as it was dark in front of her.
And the rumors in the Prime Minister's Mansion about the relationship between King Qin and Murong Xun did not fade away, but became more and more boiling because of King Qin's visit.
On this day, Zhao Ling was dressed in a dark brocade robe, his black hair was fixed by a simple white hosta, revealing a fair and handsome face, with a dragon and phoenix jade pendant hanging from his waist, and his long body was jade, becoming more and more chic and upright.
He first met Prime Minister Murong Hua, and the two talked in the living room for a while, and it was time for lunch. Murong Hua left Zhao Ling to eat in the mansion, and Zhao Ling did not refuse, so he naturally stayed.
Even if King Qin was a guest in the mansion, it was naturally a banquet prepared by the eldest lady herself, so Murong Shan was also summoned to accompany him during the banquet.
Murong Shan was wearing a pink openwork blank butterfly long skirt, with green silk coiled behind her head, and only a green hairpin was held, which looked more and more beautiful and lovely, and she forgot to see it.
During the banquet, Zhao Ling and Murong Hua talked happily, and Murong Shan smiled skillfully, like a happy scene of a family. It's just that only the people in the banquet know that although King Qin is laughing, the smile does not reach the bottom of his eyes, although he is praising Murong Shan's beauty, but he has not really opened his eyes to look at her.
Between the words, Zhao Ling looked at the eldest lady and said casually: "A few days ago, the lady had a misunderstanding with the Jade Emperor Sister on the way to the White Horse Temple, and this royal sister and the lady have made amends!" ”
The eldest lady hurriedly said: "Where is the King of Qin, but I haven't thanked the King of Qin for saving the lives of a cadre in our house, and it is the concubine who should be grateful to the prince!" ”
Murong Shan glanced at Zhao Ling's face sideways, his eyes turned slightly, he got up and raised his glass and said, "The prince saved the life of the fifth sister, Shan'er thanked the prince with a glass of thin wine!" ”
The corners of Zhao Ling's mouth raised slightly, and there was a little starlight chill in his eyes, but the cup was held in his hand but he didn't drink it all, but showed a little suspicion, "For all the rumors in the market recently, this king also feels a headache!" I just think it's strange, who spread this rumor? ”
