Return to Capital (VIII) (Part II)

The two men who were sneaking around had been watching the people in the room, and the man with the white chain in his hand glanced at his companion, and the steel spike nodded at him. The white chain slowly moved forward, and the steel spikes were two steps behind, constantly looking behind and around them.

Just as the white chain was still half a foot away from the window, the steel spikes were surprised to see a magnolia tree behind them move. The magnolia tree is not high, the branches are very dense, he just wanted to greet the white chain, but he was even more shocked to find that a row of flower pots under the original window was advancing towards the white chain, and in front of each flower pot there was a barbed steel plate slowly rising, in front of the white chain, the steel plate was already more than one person high, blocking the back window tightly. The white chain was also shocked, and the flute did not move in place.

"There's a mechanism." Steel Thorn exclaimed. Ordinary people feel that Tang Xinjie's martial arts are strong, and it is difficult to have opponents on the rivers and lakes, no one dares to provoke, and he doesn't need things like agency news to protect himself. The two of them originally thought that the two of them had just entered Beijing, Tang Xinjie may feel that he is famous, and there will not be too many precautions at home, so he wanted to come to his house to pick up leaks after taking the task, where did he think that there would be such a sharp mechanism. They didn't know that this was the yard built by Bai Baihua back then, and after Tang Xiaoxiao married Bai Baihua, Aunt Bai was a person with strong self-esteem, and she did not live in any of Tang Xiaoxiao's properties as a dowry, but wanted to build a yard of her own for his wife. Bai Baihua is also a talent, in addition to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, martial arts and medical skills are good, and the skills of this organ are also very clever. When he first built this yard, he told Tang Xiaoxiao that he wanted to build a yard to protect his wife and children. Although Tang Xiaoxiao is also strong in martial arts, there are always times when a woman's family is weak, and if she has a child, she needs to be protected. Therefore, the flowers and trees in this yard, and the rockery bonsai all have special places.

At this time, Bai Lian just wanted to turn around and retreat, only to see the magnolia tree in front of the steel thorn suddenly turn, and some of the thicker branches shimmered, like a rolling blade. The two of them were startled, instinctively retreated, and the white chain first let out a miserable scream, because when he retreated, the steel thorn on the steel plate behind him stabbed him, and the conditioned reflex rushed forward in pain, and hit the steel thorn again, and at this time, the steel thorn had been dazzled in the face by the magnolia tree thorn, cut the clothes on his body, and was pushed by the white chain, and hit the magnolia tree again, and a magnolia branch stabbed him in the abdomen.

Xinjie chuckled, reached out to stop the mechanism, and the magnolia tree and the flower pot quickly returned to their original places. The white-chained steel thorns were squatting and sitting on the ground because of the pain.

"Tang Xinjie, you are a person from the rivers and lakes, and you actually use organs to calculate us, it's so shameless!" Although the white chain hurt, he still yelled unconvinced.

"Although Tang is a Jianghu person, Tang's woman is a defenseless and weak woman. Isn't it shameless for you to take the smoke and weapons of the rooster and the dog thief to prepare to bully her? Or do you two think that we are ordinary people, so we should wash our necks and wait for you killers to sneak up and hurt? ”

The cold stab ice chain was speechless for a moment.

"The robbers don't make sense, do they?" Xinjie said coldly: "Say, what did you want to do today?" Cold Thorn Ice Chain, even if you have a reputation in the rivers and lakes, it is not ordinary people who can instruct you. Who commanded you? ”

"You are from the rivers and lakes, so you naturally know the rules of our industry."

"Rules, hehe, in this garden, what I say is the rules. If you want to try the consequences of not saying anything, I won't stop you. Xinjie said very calmly, but the two of them felt a chill on their bodies. In the past few days, in order to find an opportunity to start, they have followed Xinjie for a few days to find the law that he is not at home, this always appears in the capital with the image of a beautiful son, so that they all forget that Tang Sangongzi will be frightened in the rivers and lakes, and quickly calculate in their hearts whether to say it or not.

The guards guarding the courtyard had already appeared, and Xinjie didn't bother to wait for them, so he raised his feet to find Lian'er.

When there was movement outside, she had already retreated to a safe position in the study, and when she heard the mechanism outside, she had already held a sword in her hand, and was relieved to see him come in.

"It's always scared." He said apologetically.

She smiled and shook her head, knowing that there were these things since she had decided to follow him. She is not a little girl who has nothing to do, even if she has the protection of the Queen Mother in the palace back then, she is still in crisis.

"Know who it is?" Attacking her must be to threaten him, and he will have clues.

"I'm not sure, let Langcheng deal with it." Langcheng is an orphan in the army taken in by the Tang family, he grew up in Wabaozhai since he was a child, Tang Xiaoxiao and Bai Baihua valued him very much, and when he entered Beijing with them at the age of fifteen, Tang Xiaoxiao handed over some affairs in Beijing to him. Later, Xinjie handed over the defense of this Guifang Xiaozhu and the Jingwei of the Aoki Society in the capital to him to manage. Lian'er didn't know him well, but after staying here, Xinjie specially asked Lang Cheng to meet the housewife. Protecting the master mother and gaining insight into the unfavorable movements of the master in Beijing is his important task.

Lian'er nodded, although Lang Cheng looked ordinary, but she believed that Xinjie had a human eye.

"If I'm not mistaken, there are people who are unhappy about marriage. Jing Chen's marriage from afar really made some people unwilling, some people annoyed, and even made Yiqing and Concubine Chen hate me. ”

"That's her own choice, Yiqing should reflect on why her own sisters would rather abandon him and marry other countries and relatives."

"If he could reflect, he wouldn't be Yiqing."

"Concubine Chen still doesn't know the inside story, are you sure that Jing Chen didn't tell Concubine Chen before leaving?"

Jing Chen is a smart person, and she knows that the most important thing in Concubine Chen's heart is Yiqing. And Yiqing is a person who has an idea a day. Although Concubine Chen is smarter, but if she really encounters Yiqing's need, Concubine Chen will still pay attention to Yiqing, and she may be thrown out as a bargaining chip at any time, or she will sell her affairs in South Vietnam. From the perspective of her own life and family affection, I believe that she will choose her own life. ”

"Of course, this is the case, but I don't know if Jing Chen can figure it out."

"I reminded her that she shouldn't be that stupid. If today's matter is related to Concubine Chen or Yiqing, we will be more certain. And she is now surrounded by our people. Since the transaction, she has been watching inch by inch, and she shouldn't have had the opportunity to send a private message to Concubine Chen before she leaves. We have dozens of people with us, in case something goes wrong, Jing Chen is a trivial matter, and our brothers' lives are at stake, so everyone will not be careless. ”

"I hope so."

Even if Concubine Chen knew, she wouldn't be able to move in the short term. Protecting her is part of our deal with Jing Chen, which naturally includes not letting her go astray and do the wrong thing. Even if you say it, you are not afraid, the people we sent out to Jing Chen's side are not decorations. And as long as Ruan Qianye sits firmly on the throne, he will naturally help us block the news. Jing Chen only has six antidotes in his hand, he is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he will not joke with his life. You see that he was high-sounding and righteous Ling Ran at the beginning, and he seemed to want to fight for his sister, but now for himself, isn't he honest? ”

"Will Zhou Yunsong wronged him, after all, having an extra wife may be troublesome for their husband and wife."

"That's because you don't know Yun Song, in his eyes, no one is as important as Xiaoyu. The Zhou family also wanted to give him a few concubines, but he was kicked out. After Uncle Zhou rescued Xiaoyu back then, he wasted a lot of effort to protect her. The old lady of the Zhou family has always loved Yunsong, so she also loves Xiaoyu. Yun Song doesn't want a title, he has no heirs, and the happiest person is none other than their young lady. Even if Yun Song and Xiaoyu didn't do anything, someone would not let Ruan Qianhua go to their couple to get involved. ”

"Lord Yifang? I remember that Yifang used to be a little girl with a lively personality and a very sweet mouth. ”

"Yes, but Yifang has become more and more mean since she married Zhou Yunhai. The old lady of the Zhou family was born in the army with the old marquis, and her personality was upright, and her likes and dislikes were written on her face. It is normal for her to like the light rain that has been around since she was a child. But the big family is like that, some people are liked, and some people are not. If you don't like it, you'll find trouble. Maybe Yifang is used to being a golden bottle and jade in her mother's princess's mansion, marrying a wife, and waiting for the elders is not very customary. is also a daughter-in-law, Xiaoyu is obviously close to the Zhou family, and she is naturally not happy if she is liked by the Zhou family. And now that she has a child, she wants the emperor to decree that her child will be the grandson earlier, but she doesn't know what happened to the emperor and hasn't let go. The old lady of the Zhou family also likes to take care of things, although she loves Xiaoyu, but her grandson has no queen, she just doesn't worry, some time ago, for the sake of the heir, she gave Yun Song a concubine, but Yun Song and Xiaoyu didn't do anything, but they were moved by Yifang. This time, Ruan Qianhua has the dignity of a princess of the South Vietnamese royal family, and Yi Fang is only afraid that she is more worried about her son's title. ”

"Young master," Lang Cheng's voice said, he recognized Bai Hua and Tang Xiaoxiao as his master, and Xinjie was their only heir, naturally the young master.

"Come in."

Lang Cheng came in, glanced at the room, and quickly lowered his head, not daring to look around: "Recruited, they said that it was an order placed by Yubaolou on behalf of the employer." ”

"The Leopard Tower didn't notify you in advance?" The Leopard Tower is a powerful presence in the gray area of the capital. Doing some special services in this circle. Valet orders are one of the ways to solve troubles. And the customers are all powerful people in Beijing. In this way, even if the person who does the work is caught, it can only be the Leopard Tower. And because the Leopard Tower serves many powerful people, and the magnates need such an existence, so for many years, no one dared to come to the door to trouble the Leopard Tower.

"No, it may be that Mr. Qian has traveled recently, and the people who stayed behind don't know our relationship with Mr. Qian, so they just place orders according to the normal procedures."

"No way. Although Qian Lao was not there, he was also supervised by someone when he went out. Unless it's someone who is in charge of it. Find Qian Lao as soon as possible, I'm afraid something will happen to him. ”
