Chapter 12: Messenger by Death
After Xu Tao's father and son left, Qi Zhen first walked to the old bustard behind him, handed her the money bag, and said with a smile: "This money is enough to pay for these tables, chairs and benches, and the rest should be regarded as the consolation money for being scared tonight." ”
The old bustard opened the money bag and smiled a flower on his face: "Fourth prince, you are too polite." ”
Qi Zhen walked in front of Shen Guofeng's father and son again, and waited for Qin Yan to give a salute and leave before saying: "Lord Shen, tonight must have made Gongzi frightened, and it is all to blame Ah Yu for making trouble regardless of the occasion, I will compensate you here." ”
Shen Guofeng hurriedly bent his waist lower: "Fourth prince, this is unacceptable, if it weren't for helping the dog, His Royal Highness King Jing would not have provoked the prime minister in vain, in the final analysis, it is our fault." ”
Qi Yu stepped aside and pulled Shen Feinan: "Brother Shen, I'm sorry, I've been hiding my identity from you for so long." ”
"Often... His Royal Highness King Jing, don't dare, don't dare. Shen Feinan hadn't recovered from the shock just now, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to move on the spot like a quail.
"Don't call me His Royal Highness King Jing, just keep calling me Brother Chang." Qi Yu patted Shen Feinan on the shoulder: "I'll tell you, don't be afraid of the prime minister to settle your account, I will protect you." ”
Shen Feinan looked at Qi Yu's heartless appearance, and he really didn't dare to imagine that this guy was actually the Ninth Prince, so he stretched out his fist and pestled Qi Yu's chest, Qi Yu leaned back and bounced back, and when he bounced back, he used his strength to pestle Shen Feinan again, and the two of them played back and forth.
Shen Feinan's sense of strangeness when he first knew Qi Yu's identity suddenly disappeared, so he lowered his voice and said, "Brother Chang, for the first time, I think you are handsome, really.
That Xu Huanyu is usually arrogant and domineering, no one cares about it, I really want to laugh when I see that he has been abolished today and his arm can't be brought back, it's so enjoyable! ”
"I've always been handsome and boundless in this king, I warn you, don't fall in love with me, falling in love with me is fruitless."
Qi Yu raised his eyebrows at him, which was called a smugness: "Just like him, what kind of man is he relying on his father to show off his martial arts, think that I Qi Yu has dared to say a heavy word to me since he was nine years old except for my master, he Xu Huanyu actually dared to insult me in public, I can't swallow this breath if I don't teach him a lesson." ”
"Yes, yes, you're amazing." Shen Feinan gave Qi Yu a thumbs up: "In the future, please ask the Ninth Prince to take care of it." ”
"Nature, nature." Qi Yu replied to him with a grin.
Qi Zhen and Shen Guofeng were not so big-hearted, Qi Zhen looked at Qi Yu and Shen Feinan grinning and playing hippie face to face, frowned and whispered to Shen Guofeng: "The plan can be advanced." ”
Shen Guofeng nodded: "Understood." ”
After a long time, Qi Zhen said goodbye to Lord Shen, walked up to Qi Yu, and pulled him out by the collar.
On the way back, Qi Yu walked next to Qi Zhen, looked at Qi Zhen's face as he walked, and spoke after a long time: "Fourth brother, are you angry?" ”
Qi Yu saw that Qi Zhen didn't speak, and said after a while: "I didn't mean to cause trouble, I did it because Xu Huanyu scolded me for being lowly." ”
"Fourth brother knows." Qi Zhen turned around and looked at Qi Yu and said, "But Xu Tao is not a good corner, and the fourth brother is afraid that you will suffer losses in the future." ”
"I'm afraid he'll do anything!"
"This is Shangjing, you can't show your identity as a general, in the final analysis, it is not as noble as your status as the ninth prince, now Xu Tao's power in this court is monstrous, and even the emperor is afraid of him, can we not provoke this kind of person?"
"This kind of villain can also be a scholar, there is really no one in the court!" Qi Yu scolded, looked at Qi Zhen who was frowning in front of him and said, "Okay, listen to the fourth brother." ”
Qi Zhen showed a smile and pulled Qi Yu's coat: "Let's go, let's go home." ”
Qi Yu followed behind Qi Zhen, and while walking, he kept complaining about "Xu Tao's villain", "It's really troublesome to go to Beijing", "I'll teach him a good lesson when the Taishi returns to the court" and the like, among which Qi Zhen was only mixed with a few slight words, and after a while, the two figures disappeared into the darkness......
Time flies, fleeting, and before you know it, another two months have passed.
In the past two months, Qi Yu has lived a colorful life.
Every morning I went to the morning court, and after the next court, I either went to the Four Princes' Mansion to eat and chat with Qi Zhen, or I went to the garden with Shen Feinan, and in the evening, I took the fourteenth to Qunfang Tower to drink some flower wine and have fun, and Xu Tao never troubled him again.
That night, Qi Yu and Fourteen had just come out of the Star Picking Tower and were about to return to the Nine Kings' Mansion, but when they pushed the door and were about to go in, they suddenly heard the sound of swords meeting each other from the alley next door, and the two of them looked at each other and instantly turned into the alley:
I saw four men in black holding long swords and forcing a young man into a corner, and several wounds appeared on the young man's body in the shadow of the sword, and blood continued to flow out.
Perhaps it was due to exhaustion of physical strength or excessive bleeding, the young man's sword was getting slower and slower, and as soon as he blocked the next sword, another long sword struck from the left and aimed straight at the neck.
Qi Yu picked up a stone and bounced the blade of the sword in the air, but the man in black couldn't strike again, and with the strength of the sword body, he turned around neatly, and the blade slashed through the young man's artery.
Fourteen leaps into the battlefield, taking advantage of their unpreparedness, they fixed all four men in black in place within a few moves.
Fourteen hurriedly squatted beside the young man and covered his neck, but blood continued to flow from his fingers.
Qi Yu walked next to the man in black, picked up a person and asked, "What a big dare to make trouble next to the Nine Kings' Mansion." Who is the master? Why kill? ”
The man in black didn't say a word, only heard an extremely faint sound, black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and the person was also lifeless, and the remaining three people also bit their mouths and poisoned themselves when they saw this.
"Dead? Interesting. ”
"Lord Wang, he's dying." Fourteen shouted at Qi Yu.
Qi Yu squatted down to check the young man's injuries: he was bleeding too much and had no skills.
After hearing the word prince, the young man grabbed Qi Yu's right hand, and asked with all his strength, "Nine, nine princes?" ”
"I am, who are you, and why are you being hunted down?" Qi Yu hurriedly asked.
"Jin, Ling, eight hundred disaster victims, ask the Nine Princes, help." The man rolled his eyes, looking like he was about to die.
Qi Yu and Fourteen were all stunned, in January, there were indeed 800 victims who moved to Jinling to avoid the floods in the south, but the imperial court had already allocated disaster relief funds, and the problem of the victims had already been solved, so why did they ask him to help him now.
Besides, the prefect of Jinling is Chang Du, who has never had a problem as an official for nearly 30 years, and is often known for loving the people like a son, being honest and honest, how can it be Jinling.
"Jinling? Are you sure it's Jinling? If the problem of the victims has not been solved, why not report it to the imperial court? ”
"Please, please, help..."The man's limbs twitched and then hung down instantly.
Fourteen put his finger under the man's nose: "Dead." ”
"Do you think his words are credible?" Qi Yu frowned.
"I don't know." Fourteen shook his head, "The message of death is indeed credible, but he is talking about Jinling, the jurisdiction of Lord Chang, I..."
"Whether it's true or not, check it." Qi Yu stood up and wiped the blood from the tiger's mouth, and looked at the south, Jinling......
