Chapter 92: Taking the Opportunity
Yu Xuan didn't expect Sun Yanling to be so articulate and react quickly. He originally thought that as long as Sun Yanling had the slightest hesitation, he would be able to plant the seeds of suspicion, and when he investigated later, there would be some more things, even if Kong Sizhen could get rid of the crime of murdering his father and son, it would also arouse the suspicion of these subordinates of the Dingfan, and wait for him to do the next thing, even if the teacher was famous, but he didn't expect Sun Yanling to say a few words, so he asked him speechless.
But he is also a person who can bend and stretch, and he apologized at the moment: "I'm really sorry, Sun Shenling, you also saw the situation tonight, there is chaos everywhere, and I am also worried about Gege's safety, so I have this question, plus the mask you wore before, it makes people misunderstand what you are deliberately hiding, so I will misunderstand it next!" Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, I hope that Counselor Sun will not care about my abruptness just now. ”
A smile appeared on the corner of Sun Yanling's lips, and he said unceremoniously: "As a general soldier, the third prince has some things that he hasn't figured out, so he shouldn't talk about it, but now that they have heard your words, they all look at me like an enemy, of course I care." As for the ins and outs of those people, the third prince had better follow the facts and find out clearly, so as not to draw any more ridiculous inferences......"
He paused, with some hints and emphasized: "After all, now in Guilin, you are more extensive than Gege, familiar with the land, although this matter is strange, but it is not without a trace, as long as the third prince is attentive, I believe that it will soon be able to come to light, but don't be like tonight, a wine banquet is a mess, safety protection does not work at all, this Dingnan Wangfu is like a leaky sieve, anyone can enter and exit, if I arrive two steps late, the safety of the capital will become a problem, spread out, Does it not make people suspect that you are not strict in governing the army? ”
He is more extensive and familiar with the land than Kong Sizhen, doesn't he say that these people were arranged by him to frame Kong Sizhen? Also, what is the security tonight has no effect at all, Dingnan Wangfu is like a leaky sieve, isn't this a joke for them to shout to catch thieves?
Seeing that Sun Yanling pushed the matter to his own head in a few words, Yuxuan secretly hated in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "Sun Shenling is right, because this palace has been empty, there is indeed a negligence in the security area, because it is necessary to deal with those people in Nanming, as well as the bandits in the territory, and many officials were injured tonight, our father and son are really powerless to be distracted from the palace, listen to Gege's tone, you should be an old acquaintance with her, Gege has been in Guilin these days, there is a reluctant request below, and I hope that Sun Shenling will not refuse." ”
Sun Yanling raised his eyebrows: "Do you want to ask me to be responsible for the security of the Dingnan Royal Mansion during this time?" ”
"It's really easy to talk to smart people, yes, that's what it means, and I hope that Sun Senling can agree, after all, we are all for the same purpose, to protect Gege." Lu Yuxuan smiled bitterly and looked at his arm, "This matter, my father originally explained it to me, but if you look at it now, I am afraid that I will not be able to protect Gege, but will drag her down, so I have to ask Sun Shenling for help." ”
"What about you, Gege, what are your plans? Do you want me to stay and protect you? Sun Yanling looked at Sizhen with burning eyes.
Sizhen avoided his gaze, and nodded in a businesslike tone: "Of course, it would be better to have Sun Shen lead you to stay and help." ”
Bai Yansong is injured now, although Qi Dongping's martial arts are good, Yu Chaotang or the military is a layman, and it is impossible for her to deal with personnel as freely as Sun Yanling, Sun Yanling can stay and help her, she can breathe a sigh of relief.
"Then I'll be respectful and obey my fate, right now, the most important thing is to pry open the mouth of that dancing girl, go, third son, I'll accompany you to take a look." As he spoke, Sun Yanling patted Yu Xuan's arm and motioned for him to take him to interrogate the dancing girl.
But when he slapped it, his hand was not small, and it happened to be slapped on Lu Yuxuan's injured arm, which hurt so much that Yu Xuan grinned and shouted lightly.
Sun Yanling hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I forgot for a moment that your arm was injured, and I want me to say that you should hang this arm with a bandage, so that it hangs to the side, and it is easy to be ignored." ”
Lu Yuxuan was worried that Sun Yanling would "forget" again after a while, so he hurriedly asked the doctor to come over and hang his arm around his neck with a bandage, and then said goodbye to Sun Yanling and Sizhen and walked out of the hall.
Seeing Sun Yanling behind him with his hands to give himself more "rest assured", Sizhen's heart was a little settled.
At this time, Lian Guoan had already settled the people, walked over and said ashamedly: "Tonight's incident is an improper arrangement by his subordinates, which has caused Gege and Lord Qincha to be frightened, and I am really ashamed, and I hope that Gege will give our father and son a chance to atone for their crimes, and wait for us to find out about tonight's affairs and give Gege an explanation." ”
"No one can imagine what happened tonight, and Shibo doesn't need to blame himself. It is very likely that this was arranged by the secret sentinel on Nanming's side, intending to sow discord between me and Shibo, we can't be fooled by them. This matter, I will take the trouble to investigate this matter, there is nothing else, I will go to see those injured ladies and young ladies, I am really sorry to be involved in them today! ”
Seeing that Sizhen did not blame his father and son in his words, he was relieved for a while. As Sizhen thought, he also suspected that this matter was done by Nanming's spies in Guilin, of course, whether the third son of the line took the opportunity to do something inside, he is a father, it is really hard to say.
Before, he had repeatedly warned the third prince of the line, saying that this feudal domain belonged to the Kong family, and asked the third prince not to have thoughts that he shouldn't have, but he didn't know if his son was instigated by those people with ulterior motives!
After comforting the injured female dependent, Sizhen went back to the house to rest.
I don't know anything about what happened at the night banquet, and the thrush and yellow warbler who had been tidying up in the house all night.
Seeing Sizhen come back, Thrush put down the clothes he was sorting out in the closet, turned around and smiled: "Huang Ying was still complaining just now, saying that such a qualified field does not take us, but takes the white guard chief, how inconvenient, now it seems that Gege is ......" Seeing Sizhen approaching, the candlelight shone, and the blood stains on his body were clearly revealed, and the thrush exclaimed, "Gege, what's wrong, why is it covered in blood?" ”
She shouted a little loudly, and even Huang Ying, who was tidying up in the wing room, heard it and ran over, and when she saw Sizhen's appearance, she shouted and screamed.
They all thought Sizhen was injured.
Sizhen sat on the chair a little tiredly: "It's okay, it's all other people's blood, thrush, you go and get a set of clothes and come out, I want to bathe and change clothes." ”
Before, it was because she was worried that something would happen at the dinner party, so Sizhen didn't bring thrush and Huang Ying, after all, their martial arts are better than ordinary people, and against real masters, I'm afraid she won't even be able to pass three moves, in case something really happens, her actions will be hindered.
Unexpectedly, as Bai Yansong guessed, she only returned to Guilin today, she was not familiar with anything, and the other party wanted to start, this time was the most appropriate...... Luckily, they didn't bring their thrushes.
Hearing that Sizhen was fine, the thrush patted his heart, Huang Ying simply worshiped the Bodhisattva in all directions, shouted Amitabha, and then went out to arrange for the little maids prepared by the third prince of the south palace to prepare hot water.
When bathing, Sizhen told them the whole reason for the matter, cleaned up, and waited for Sizhen to rest, the thrush still felt afraid, and insisted on being on duty with Huang Ying and the two at that time. Hearing Sizhen's breathing in the inner room gradually steady, as if she was asleep, she tiptoed back to the bed, ready to say a few words to Huang Ying, who was lying down first, but heard a slight snoring.
Huang Ying is a big-hearted person, and when she saw that Sizhen was fine, she was already sleepy and fell asleep.
The thrush lay on the bed, but he tossed and turned all night, and did not sleep soundly until dawn.
When she woke up the next day, it was dark, and Huang Ying was no longer in bed, thinking that she had gone to prepare breakfast.
Thrush hurriedly called the other two little maids in a panic and ordered, "Hurry up and prepare the washing water, and then go and call Gege." ”
But when she entered the house, she saw that the window was wide open, and the room was bright, but there was no shadow of Sizhen on the bed.
Could it be that last night he entered the thieves and kidnapped Gege?
Did you light the incense, so you didn't hear any movement at all?
Smelling the fragrance of osmanthus in the room, the thrush was frightened into a cold sweat, and stood in the middle of the room at a loss, only to feel that there was a burst of blackness in front of him, and he almost fainted.
"Sister Thrush, what's wrong with you?" Huang Ying's voice came in, and she came back to her senses.
The thrush turned back with a crying voice and said, "Huang Ying, Gege...... Gege she ......" she gestured to the bed.
She was so frightened that her legs were so weak that she almost didn't have the strength to raise her hands.
"It's okay, Gege is fine." Huang Ying felt a little strange, but still replied truthfully, "It's okay, Gege got up early in the morning to practice swords in the garden, and asked me not to wake you up." ”
"Huh?" The thrush didn't seem to understand, and looked at the yellow warbler.
"You forgot, Gege has to get up every day at the hour to practice swords and boxing." Huang Ying looked at her strangely, "Sister Thrush, what's wrong with you?" Are you worried about Gege......"
She suddenly understood why the thrush was like that, and he laughed, "It turns out that you are worried that Gege has been robbed?" You, you're really worried, you don't want to think about it, with Gege's martial arts, even if a thief can enter this Dingnan Mansion, how can he quietly kidnap her? ”
"What if someone lights a scent?" Thrush said unconvinced.
"Even if there is a misty incense, Gege will definitely wake up and try to make some noise." Huang Ying looked at the appearance of the thrush and screamed strangely: "Sister thrush, you don't think of the osmanthus fragrance in the house as a fascination, right?" You forget, every time the osmanthus blooms, Gege always likes to put two golden cinnamon in the house, and he doesn't even use incense. ”
"I don't care!" Seeing Huang Ying laughing at herself, the thrush took a bite of her, "Who is like you, don't worry about everything, what are you proud of?" - Don't go and arrange breakfast soon, Gege will definitely be hungry when he comes back from practice, and besides, yesterday Gege said that Sun Gongzi is also here, maybe he will come over for breakfast later, prepare more. ”
Huang Ying gestured with her fingers and shyly thrushed, and just then she responded, and went to get busy.
