Chapter 163: Sacrifice of Life

When she walked over calmly, the palace guards were clamping Guan Yong's arms and dragging her down the steps.

Calmly shouted to the guards.

The guards let Guan Yong go and returned the salute, but the soldiers who had just been patrolling found a black-clad masked man in the courtyard, suspecting that it was an assassin, so the leader ordered to search all the houses to find the assassin.

Calmly hearing this, he nodded, walked into the house, came out for a while, waved his hand to the guards to search the house, and said with a smile: "There are some things that are not easy for you to see, go in first and collect them, won't you blame the palace for affecting your official business?" ”

The guard shook his head in a hurry, hurried in to take a look, then withdrew, and searched elsewhere.

Standing calmly on the steps and looking at Guan Yong, who looked flustered and panting, shook his head slightly, walked down with his clothes, and patted her shoulder: "Look at you bluffing like this, really, in the capital, what kind of posture has I never seen, I haven't seen you like this, I haven't come out to see people when I go into the house to clean up and come out to meet people, I went over first, and I can talk to that Fang Ting quite well, it's nothing to do, and I'll talk to her for a while." ”

After that, he didn't care about Yong's reaction, and walked straight to the front.

When she walked to the front, the banquet had already dispersed, and everyone was not there, only Nan You hurriedly walked towards her with a few palace maids, and when she saw her, she exhaled, and her serious face relaxed, and she clapped her hands and said:

"Ah, Niangniang, it's not good, I heard that there was an assassin, even if he turned his face, scolded a few words here, and roared to go back to Hangzhou City to live in the official post immediately, and not live here."

"What's the matter, I don't know if it's an assassin, what is he panicking, but he lost his momentum first, making people see jokes, and he didn't take responsibility." calmly pursed his mouth and sneered: "Where is he now?" Take me to him. ”

"I lost my temper just now, and I walked to the back, maybe I came to find my master." Nan Youdao, before the words fell, I saw Zhang step into the door, saw calm, first looked up and down, but then said:

"It's okay if you're okay, I'm really scared, let's go, don't live here, in the countryside, whether it's safe or not, blame me for being too careless, trying to make you happy, but ignoring the safety issue."

The land here is vast and the forests are lush, so it must be convenient for the gangsters to hide, and it is not easy to live for a long time, so it is better to leave as soon as possible. Zhang took her hand and wanted to come outside.

Calmly shook his hand and sneered: "Your Majesty, do you want to be a deserter?" ”

"Deserters? What do you mean by that? I'm just worried about your safety, what kind of deserter is this. Zhang smiled bitterly.

"Isn't it just a deserter, just an assassin, so that the emperor panicked, to flee back to Hangzhou City, why not a deserter, this battle has not started, the emperor has already lost the momentum, don't let that little thief see all the jokes? What is the emperor's face? Where does the majesty of my Great Xia state exist? Calm and cold.

Zhang turned white, coughed embarrassedly, cleared his throat, and hesitated: "I, I'm not afraid, I'm afraid, I'm worried that you will be afraid." ”

"The concubine is not afraid, not to mention a little thief who does not dare to show his body, he is to face the army of thousands of tigers and wolves in the enemy country, at this time, the concubine is not afraid, winning or losing is still unknown, but the majesty of my Great Xia must not be lost, it is a big deal to die." Calm down.

Cold sweat broke out on Zhang's forehead, and he raised his sleeves to wipe it, and he was speechless for a while.

Liao Zhanyu, who followed Zhang, couldn't help but be impressed by calmness.

This cold concubine is really not a mortal, she is really a heroine among women, a talent from heaven, but unfortunately it is not a man, otherwise she must be a pillar of the country and a great fortune for the society.

"The emperor was worried about the safety of his mother, no wonder he was in a hurry to leave, so that's the case, hahahaha。。。。。。 Thanks to Niangniang, she understands the righteousness and understands the emperor's heart, and she says some righteous and awe-inspiring words, which is full of the emperor's favor and the emperor's majestic name, hahahaha。。。。。。 Liao Zhanyu stepped forward, laughed loudly, and made a round to ease the awkward atmosphere between the imperial concubines.

Calm and understanding, he gave a deep salute, and showed a shy smile: "The emperor's love for his concubines, the concubines are inexhaustible, and they just spoke recklessly, and I ask the emperor to forgive me." ”

"What do you say, how can I blame you." Zhang saved face and said with a wry smile.

"In that case, then it should be a small episode in the banquet, let's still sit down and eat and drink." Smiled calmly.

"It's okay, don't say it, the game in the mountain village here really has a unique flavor, and I really like to eat it." Zhang smiled and walked towards the main hall.

Liao Zhanyu lagged behind, took a few steps, but turned back again, and made a long note towards Calm, with a grateful look on his face.

Calmly waved at him, watching them disappear into the porch of the antechamber before turning his head and walking back.

The banquet reopened, everyone sat back, and Guan Yong was the last to sit down, his face was still pale, his expression was in a trance, and his speech seemed to be not as sharp as before.

Seeing this, he calmly ate about a lamp, and then said that he was a little dizzy, went back to rest, and withdrew first.

As soon as she withdrew, Guan Yong was about to leave, and after a while, everyone dispersed.

As soon as he returned to the house, before he finished removing the hairpin ring, he found Guan Yong walking in from the mirror, with a sad look on his face.

"Who is that? Important to you? Would you rather die than keep him? He asked calmly and lightly.

Guan Yong stopped, stunned, and nodded heavily.

"Does he have an enmity with the emperor or with me? Who exactly do you want to kill? Calmly asked again.

Guan Yong shook his head.

"Your mouth is sticky? Why don't you speak? He calmly turned his head to look at her.

Guan Yong sat down on the chair and said hoarsely: "You came in first, didn't you see him?" He hid in this room. ”

"I didn't see it, when I came in, he just hid in the closet, only a little bit of his clothes were exposed, I went over to clean up for him, and walked out." Calm and honest answer.

Guan Yong's face twitched slightly, and he said thank you in a low voice.

"Don't thank me first, it's not you who I saved, it's him, if you want to thank me, you have to thank me in person, right?" A teasing smile appeared on his calm face.

Guan Yong swallowed: "Calm down, it's not what you think." ”

"That's it? Isn't this man your lover? Then why did you lay down your life to protect him? He smiled calmly.

Guan Yong sighed heavily, and said with a reluctant smile: "Calm down, you are really getting more and more calm, and you are becoming more and more temperamental of a noblewoman." ”

Seeing that she refused to speak, it was inconvenient to ask any more, so she had to laugh lazily: "You even say kind things to me, do you have something to ask me?" ”

"It's not a kind word, it's a sincere word." Guan Yong said seriously.

Calm down and laugh.

The two chatted a few more words, and Guan Yong said that he had something to deal with, and said that he would come to see her later, so he said goodbye and left.

Calm wanted to lie down and sleep for a while, but when his head was on the pillow, it was very clear that he didn't feel sleepy at all.

Guan Yong has always been calm and wise in her mind, but today's performance is really substandard, not at all like her usual style, which shows how important this assassin is to her.

She doesn't have a brother, so this person is most likely her lover, and if she is her lover, she has nothing to hide and be calm.

The more I think about it, the more strange I feel, people are idle and have a lot of things, and calm is very idle now, and if I have nothing to do, I want to find something.

So she called Nanyou in and asked her, "Have you seen where Guan Yong went?" ”

Nan You straightened his eyes for a while and shook his head: "Just now the slave maid was standing at the door, and I saw her walking along the porch for a while, turning to the back, I don't know where she went, so the slave maid went out to inquire?" ”

"Don't ask, you're busy with yours, pack up your luggage first, I can't get used to their bunk, lying a little panicked, you help you change the cover, I'll go out for a walk, if the emperor looks for me, tell him that Guan Yong and I are just walking in the courtyard, followed by the inner guards, it will be fine, let him not worry, wait for me to come back."

Calmly got up, gave Nan You a few words, and walked outside.

The patrolling soldier was passing by the doorway, and calmly stood on the steps for a while, and as he had just said, he walked along the porch, came to the end, and turned towards the back of the house.

Behind the main house where she lived, there were several houses in a row, and the houses were locked because no one lived in them, and there were palace guards on both sides of the road.

Calmly walked through these houses, and walked towards the back, but it was a large garden.

Pavilions and pavilions, rockery and flowing water, all of them, the flowers and vines that are embellished are all over the rockery of strange rocks, it is very good-looking, but a narrow path in it is covered tightly, dense and impermeable.

If you don't calmly walk to a puddle and wash your hands, you won't find that there is a trail in this rockery.

The entrance to the trail is blocked by the flower vines hanging down along the rockery, and the dense vines are gently shaking.

But now, there is not a single wind blowing.

There's no wind, and someone has just stirred these rattans!

Calmly looking around, probably because there are no houses here, and you can see the edge at a glance, all surrounded by towering blue brick walls, but there is no other exit, so there are not many guards, only four at the door, and at the angle of the door, you can't see this secret path at all.

Calmly bowed his head, he burrowed into the flower vines and walked towards the path.

The trail is covered with moss, slippery and difficult to walk, but there are clear deep and shallow footprints.

Calmly held his breath and walked forward, the more he walked in, the more damp and difficult it was to walk, and the darker it became that he couldn't see clearly, and the light from the sky was almost completely obscured by rattan.

Calmly holding on to the rockery on the side, he closed his eyes for a long time, opened them, and only then did he get used to the darkness and continue to walk forward.

The sound of gurgling water in my ears was heard.

Calmly looking up, there was a tall protruding rock in front of him, still surrounded by overlapping vines.

The vines were adorned with nameless flowers, and the light was too dim to discern the color of those flowers, but you could smell their rich fragrance.

Calmly stop and sniff, this aroma is clearly mixed with a trace of blood!

She walked silently, looking for the bloody place by the faint light.

Suddenly, there was a faint moan from the flower vine beside him, followed by a woman's mournful sobs: "How are you? Does it matter? It's better to ask the doctor to take a look, this arrow is poisonous. ”

Calmly pressed the violently beating heart, gently ripped open the dense rattan, and looked inside.

If she could turn back time, she would rather never walk here, she just wants to be reborn now, even if it is reborn back to before she walked into this path, may God take away the pain and despair she brought because of this sight.
