Chapter Ninety-Six: Layers of Deep Reflection and Exploration of the Heart
The thick twilight gradually fell down, and the raging fire slowly burned out of the ruins, leaving only waves of black smoke and a disgusting smell of charcoal.
"Let's go." Seeing that the officers and soldiers did not move again, Hua Thirteen retracted his gaze and pulled Yin Chenglian.
"What am I here for? Yes? Xiaobai? Can you tell me why this is happening? Yin Chenglian's gaze suppressed a little collapse in confusion, he had never seen so many innocent deaths with his own eyes, especially two innocent and poor children who died in front of him without warning and without reason. Suddenly, Yin Chenglian clenched his fists and shouted at Zhang Yueheng, "General Zhang obeys orders, His Royal Highness orders you to gather all the troops in the palace here!" I, Yin Chenglian, want to give an explanation to these innocent people who died in vain! This is simply a conspiracy by Ying Chengzhao! ”
"Yes! Subordinates obey! Zhang Yueheng had to take the lead in obeying, but then he came to Yin Chenglian's side and whispered in embarrassment, "Your Highness, since I came back from the south, only half of my three hundred troops are left. The 3,000 troops assigned by the Ministry of War have been recovered. ”
"What about half! I don't believe that my father will let him make waves here! I don't believe I can't do anything about him! Yin Chenglian was sad and angry, and stomped his feet hatefully.
"It's useless." Hua 13 slowly patted Yin Chenglian's shoulder, signaling him to calm down, and then said with a gloomy look in his eyes, "Ying Chengzhao sent troops to guard the place where the meteorite landed, and burned the bodies of all the refugees here, which is reasonable and leaves no traces." If His Royal Highness rashly sends troops to him, it is still the strength of his own army, which is not only unknown, but also a provocation to the emperor. Even if the emperor trusts you, how can you block the mouth of the Manchu civil officials? After all, right now, Ying Chengzhao's words and deeds are the emperor's will in the eyes of everyone. ”
"What do you mean by that? Am I just putting up with it? Yin Chenglian sighed helplessly and angrily, "I can't bear it or not, but how can I sit idly by and ignore his life like this?" Don't say I'm a prince, I shouldn't be so insensitive! Xiaobai, you gave me a reasoned way before and taught me to protect my life, but look at this group of children and look at these wrecks in the sea of fire. I practiced Yin Cheng, and if I couldn't do it, I just shook my hands and left! ”
Guan Tianyu, who had been silent, was stunned when she heard this, and after Yin Chenglian made a generous statement full of righteous indignation, she suddenly spoke: "Since we have seen and experienced this matter with our own eyes, how can we not stop it? I agree with His Highness's opinion, whether you ask for the Holy One or for yourself, there must always be an explanation. Over the years, I have followed the emperor, and the emperor's favor for Ying Chengzhao is indeed too much, and what Ying Chengzhao did behind his back should not be blindly quelled. ”
Yin Chenglian's anger was suddenly put aside, his eyes widened like a deaf man hearing dumb words, and he slowly looked back at Guan Tianyu, and Hua Thirteen, Jingmo and the others were also very surprised to look at Guan Tianyu who suddenly said so many words to make a stand. However, Guan Tianyu pursed his lips unhurriedly, continued to lower his eyebrows and remained silent, recovering his face as cold as ice.
"Tianyu, Your Highness, you don't understand what you mean, Thirteen must not want you to ignore it. Right? Jingmo patiently explained, and his gentle and knowing gaze fell on the eyes of Hua Thirteen.
Painting Thirteen Xiang Jingmo smiled reassuringly, and nodded lightly: "Fang Cai, the words left by that officer and soldier are: step by step, point to point." Your Highness has figured out what this means? ”
"I don't care what he means." The more Yin Chenglian thought about it, the more angry he became.
Hua Thirteen sighed secretly, glanced at Guan Tianyu, who also looked stubborn, and continued: "Judging from the fact that he specially chose to make these moves today, I gradually figured out the point that Fang was puzzled about, he may have done it for His Highness." ”
"What?" Yin Chenglian was taken aback, revealing a very ridiculous meaning from head to toe.
"Since arriving here, the long plane has stopped the masked man's fatal knife for His Highness, the roof collapsed and His Highness was fine, the fire broke out and His Highness was safe, and the two children died innocently and His Highness was unharmed." Hua Thirteen's voice became deeper and deeper, and his face became more and more solemn.
Yin Chenglian also faintly felt a chill down his spine when he heard this, and asked inexplicably: "It seems that this is the case." But, but he let me see, what can it be? Why didn't he just go after me? ”
"He doesn't want to kill you at all." Drawing Thirteen swallowed his throat, "He wants to provoke you." ”
"What's the use of provoking me?" Yin Chenglian was even more confused, "Besides, if he provokes me, I'll go and tell my father, wouldn't it be a very dangerous thing for him?" ”
"His layout today is destined that you actually have nothing to say to the emperor, not to mention, with the emperor's trust in him and his understanding of the emperor, he is not worried about what you will tell the emperor when you enter the palace." Painting Thirteen explained calmly and calmly.
"So, what exactly does Ying Chengzhao want?" Yin Chenglian was so anxious that he didn't have a trace of patience, and he was in no mood to guess at all.
"He's trying to lead you to him." Hua Thirteen's eyes were deep and uncertain, and he said word by word, "Of course, this is just the result of my guess." ”
"He sees me? Why did he see me? Yin Chenglian became more and more confused, faintly a little uneasy.
"Perhaps, for the sake of a request. Perhaps, for the sake of trading. Perhaps, it is for the sake of threats. Hua Thirteen pursed his lips and looked at Yin Chenglian with his eyebrows.
"I'm just a prince who has just been released from house arrest, a rich man with military power, he has what I have, and even more, he has what I don't have. Why should he see me? Yin Chenglian settled down a little, and after thinking about it, he was still puzzled.
"Perhaps, it's because of the people around His Highness and the past." Thirteen muttered, but then regretted it.
"What?" Yin Chenglian didn't hear it clearly, and asked casually.
"Nothing." Painting Thirteen took a faint breath, "That's all I can guess." The rest depends on your royal highness. ”
Yin Chenglian hesitated for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at the ruins that were instantly reduced to ashes, and replied angrily with a solemn and firm expression: "Okay." I'll go see him. His Royal Highness wants to see what this ruthless old fox is up to. I must give these people an explanation. ”
"Your Highness, no matter what happens, I only have one thing to remind you." Hua Thirteen swallowed his throat and paused, "Remember, you are not just the eldest prince of Da Yin. ”
The rest of the unspoken words, how much Yin Chenglian can understand, painting thirteen is unknown, and even painting thirteen is not sure, whether it is meaningful and necessary for him to remind, after all, the past, it is difficult to say that it is really in the past, and the future, everything is still unknown. Everyone was silent, and no one asked what the meaning of the half-sentence of Painting Thirteen was.
"Okay." Yin Chenglian's expression was resolute with a bit of ignorance and fearlessness, "I'll go now." Go home first. Since he didn't hurt my life here, he won't touch me at his mansion. ”
Seeing that Yin Chenglian had finally regained his composure and sanity, Hua Thirteen nodded knowingly, and then stared at Guan Tianyu and Zhang Yueheng and the others: "You guys should go back first." I'm going to Zhoufu again. ”
"Thirteenth Prince, what are you doing there? It's very unlucky, what's more, since Zhou Rong's death, Lord Qiu has sealed it up, and no one is allowed to enter. Zhang Yueheng reminded.
Hua 13 glanced into the ruins: "Steward Luo has been with Zhou Rong for many years, and now he appears here as the heir of the Lu family, and before he died, he mentioned the banyan tree in the Zhou Mansion. I'm going to have to find out. Go back in peace. ”
"I'll go with you." Jingmo took a step closer to the painting thirteen, gentle and sure, "Anyway, it's not the first time we've been there together." ”
"Okay." Hua Thirteen nodded with a faint smile, he felt Jing Mo's cold hand catch his pulse, and he couldn't help but withdraw his hand stupidly. He could feel the dull heart-rending pain in his internal organs, so painful that he was almost numb and unconscious, and he could even hear the faint heartbeat in his own body.
Jing Mo's eyes suddenly flushed slightly, but he endured it again, and said to Guan Tianyu with a smile: "Tianyu, you should also go back to the palace as soon as possible, you must still have a lot of things to do." ”
"Okay." Guan Tianyu saw Jingmo winking at her secretly, she knew that Jingmo was reminding her about the Library, and she should go back.
"Old ghost Zhang, bring these children back to the house." Yin Chenglian glanced at the group of bereaved and displaced children with anxiety.
"Huh?" Zhang Yueheng glanced at this group of grizzled and lowly children in embarrassment, "Your Highness, this is not appropriate." Although our house is a little shabby, after all, it is still a prince's mansion, not a refugee cave. ”
"I said take it back, take it back, what so much nonsense?" Yin Chenglian glanced at Zhang Yueheng angrily, "Anyway, the mansion is so big." If they are not taken in today, I am afraid that these children will not survive even tonight, and it will not be too late to find a place to resettle them in the future. ”
Zhang Yueheng had to obediently accept the order, nodded helplessly, and took the children back to the house. After Yin Chenglian finished speaking, she turned her head suddenly, and happened to bump into Guan Tianyu's gaze impartially, her eyes were not deep or cold, but a kind of demure and soft, which seemed to make people see the spring longing of the ice and snow melting.
"Go back to the palace obediently, take care of the injuries on your hands, and then report the good news to you after I settle the old fox Ying Chengzhao." Yin Chenglian smiled slyly with a hippie face, raised his eyebrows obliquely, and winked at Guan Tianyu with an ambiguous smile. Guan Tianyu pursed his lips, this time he didn't ignore it with a cold face, but glanced at Yin Chenglian helplessly and disgustedly. This glance is bold for Guan Tianyu, and for Yin Chenglian, it is an expectation that is gradually blooming. And the thirteenth painting understands that this glance is a judgment and a relief.
