Chapter 138: Protecting Friends
"Since you already knew that Xiao Guard was the emperor's confidant, what crime did he have, and when would it be the turn of the harem concubines to intervene? Li Changsheng, you are also an old man in the palace, and now that you say this, this palace will think that you are exculpating yourself. Yin Huan's fists were hidden in his sleeves and trembling, just like that, the two of them decided Xiao Jian's life and death?
"The slave knows that the death penalty cannot be escaped."
"This palace asks you, how did those people connect with Dazan Ziyan? Ziyan has no relatives and no reason here, so it is impossible to know the organizations and sects in the rivers and lakes at all, these people, are you in charge of matchmaking? ”
Yin Huan's eyes were fierce, cold as frost, Li Changsheng was so frightened that his body trembled, "It's not a minion, Niang Niang Ming checked, someone automatically entered the palace to find Dazan Ziyan and reached an agreement with her, and at that time they didn't allow the slave to serve on the side, as for what their transaction was, the slave really didn't know." ”
The corners of Yin Huan's lips hooked, "Then according to what you say, in this matter, you are only responsible for running errands at most, from Xiao Jian being killed to now Dazan Ziyan's disappearance, you don't know anything about it?" ”
Li Changsheng bit his lower lip and pondered for a long time, "The slave doesn't know much, Niangniang, in fact, Xiu'er's identity, in addition to you, Dazan Ziyan also knows." After she fled, the minion had been worried that she would be bad for Xiu'er, but she didn't dare to publicize it. I beg Niangniang to promise the slave and keep the only bloodline of my Li family for the slave. ”
Ander scolded angrily, "What qualifications do you have to negotiate with your mother now?" ”
"The slave knows that he is guilty of a great sin, and he will not escape death this time. However, Xiu'er is innocent, this child has a hard life, he was born without a father, and his mother is gone before term, he is lonely, if he is even a slave...... The slave told him about it, and Dazan Ziyan would definitely not let Xiu'er go. ”
"Okay, this palace promises you, as long as there is this palace for a day, I will ensure that your Xiu'er is safe and sound, and you will live a long life." Yin Huan looked at Li Changsheng quietly, the fatherly meaning in his eyes was undoubted, fortunately, he was not considered to have lost his conscience.
"Thank you, minion." Li Changsheng kowtowed three times. "Those people often enter the palace every three days, and when they come, the emperor will definitely not appear in the East Palace, as if they know everything in the palace. The slave still remembers that it was the slave who went to summon the Xiao guard, and when Dazan Ziyan saw the Xiao guard, he said that Niangniang was in trouble outside the palace, and asked him to go to the rescue immediately. Xiao Guard's mind is thoughtful, thinking that since Niangniang is protected by the night hero, it will not be so easy to have trouble, but if she cares, she will always show a hint of clues. Dazan Ziyan took advantage of the situation to take out your jade and handed it to Xiao Guard.
When Xiao Guards saw this, they believed that it was indeed Niangniang who was asking him for help, and when he encountered danger, he knew countless people, and knew that although Xiao Guards still had doubts in his eyes, he had also strengthened his determination to go out of the palace to find you. He went back to the house and then left the palace. At that time, Dazan Ziyan said that if Xiao Jian is removed, people's hearts will be in turmoil, and when the time comes, you will make a big mess and anger Long Yan. ”
Yin Huan's voice was already a little trembling, although what Li Changsheng said was almost the same as what she thought that day, but now, listening to what Dazan Ziyan said at that time, she could still imagine the expression with which she spoke, like a snake and scorpion, Xiao Jian was famous, and he actually died at the hands of such a woman, how could she swallow this breath?
"Who the hell are those? They have entered the palace many times and have been deployed for a long time, don't tell the palace, you have no clues! ”
"Yes." Li Changsheng's words made the eyes of all the people present tighten, and he said softly: "Niangniang, you also said that the slave is the old man in this palace, and many conspiracies and tricks have been experienced. This thing was placed under the minion's bed, in a crack in a brick. ”
Yin Huan glanced at Ande, Ande immediately retreated, and Yin Huan sneered: "You are careful, why did you make such a big mistake?" ”
Li Changsheng burst into tears, and didn't say anything more except for a strong kowtow.
After half a cup of tea, Ande ran in, holding a delicate box in his hand, "Niangniang, the slave has opened it and seen it, it is the Hellfire Order of the Netherworld." ”
Wan Cheng's expression changed slightly, and he stepped forward to open it and take a closer look, "Sure enough, it is the Hellfire Order, but I didn't expect that the people of the Netherworld Palace were really determined to kill the killer this time, and they actually sent out the Hellfire Gate." He looked at Yin Huan and said lightly: "There are three sects in the Netherworld, Ghost Snake, Ghost Fire, and Ghost Spirit, and there are countless branches under them. Ye Xinghuan is the master of the ghost gate, and the news we heard is that Ye Xinghuan decided to leave the Netherworld Palace after performing a mission, and the Netherworld Palace Master did not dig deeper, because Yexinghuan had promised to do three things for him, and all of them have been completed.
And the Hellfire Gate is a very secret sect in the Netherworld, they are elusive, but they have not missed a single mission they have experienced, and they will never leave any clues. After speaking, he frowned and looked at the token in his hand, "This token is so important, how could they accidentally fall in the palace without knowing it, and be picked up by a minion?" ”
"But this palace now has evidence that the Netherworld Palace colluded with the concubines in the palace to murder the court, if this palace doesn't go to them to ask for the crime now, when should I stay?" Yin Huan didn't lose her usual calm, but she knew that Ye Xinghuan was waiting for her to be rescued, and she couldn't wait a moment.
"Yin Huan." Wancheng, who was in a hurry, stretched out his hand to pull Yin Huan, she glanced sideways and glanced coldly, he quickly let go of his hand, and said in a somewhat hurried tone: "Don't be in a hurry At this time, how can ordinary people be in the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance?" Since the alliance leader is willing to fight this battle, he has a certain certainty, so why don't you listen to me tell me a story first, and then decide what to do! ”
Wancheng sighed lightly, Ande frowned slightly, this person and Niangniang's relationship is not very familiar, but he keeps calling the master's name, and the master doesn't seem to have much objection, plus he mentioned his childhood many times, it should belong to an old friend. The master was still wary of him, and he could not let his guard down.
"Five years ago, there was a big corrupt official in the DPRK, named Fan Yong, who sold his official position at a high price, forcibly seized it, dominated people's fields, kidnapped people's wives and daughters, and did all kinds of evil. At that time, the emperor had already ordered a thorough investigation of this person, but he paid a lot of money to invite people from the Netherworld, and the palace master of the Netherworld Palace at that time sent the Netherfire Gate. There are as many as 1,000 disciples in the Hellfire Gate, and Fan Yong asked the Hellfire Gate to protect him at a high price of 30,000 taels of gold per month, but even the emperor was helpless.
Later, the emperor was wise and deliberately relaxed the strict investigation of Fan Yong, and Fan Yong felt that spending so much gold to support a group of idlers was indeed a bit of a loss, so he used the excuse that his innocence had been cleared, and the emperor would no longer pursue his fault, so he paid 100,000 taels of gold to the Netherworld Palace to settle the case. Three days after the people in the Hellfire Palace left, Fan Yong was beheaded by the emperor for public display. The most surprising thing is that in the three years that Fan Yong has been protected in the Hellfire Palace, no one has seen their true faces.
Based on that alone, I feel that the token falling here is indeed suspicious, and I am afraid, or this is another conspiracy, you must be careful. ”
Yin Huan was slightly slight, and Ande immediately said softly: "Master, there was indeed this incident back then, and the slave still remembers that because of Fan Yong's lawlessness, there were many complaints, and the people were not happy, but the emperor had no way to take him, and none of the people sent out to find clues survived." ”
"You found out that this case is related to the Netherworld, but are you sure?"
"The alliance leader is not a righteous person, let alone a-for-tat against the Netherworld. Although we try to avoid direct contact with the Netherworld, we are not afraid of them, with the status of the alliance leader, why is it difficult to find out someone? Wan Cheng smiled faintly.
Yin Huan closed his eyes slightly, then opened them again, looking at the starry sky already shining in the sky, and took a deep breath, "I think, I probably know their purpose." She turned her head to look at Wan Cheng, "From beginning to end, me and Ye Xinghuan are their targets." It's just that I, a cheap queen, have such a high value in their hearts, which is really a bit beyond my expectations. ”
Wan Cheng looked at Yin Huan with some doubts, with the way the Netherworld Palace has done things for many years, this is not like their style.
"Wancheng, since you keep claiming that it is a matter in the rivers and lakes, then, please trouble you to go on this trip for the palace, you tell them that if you want me Xia Yinhuan, you must release Ye Xinghuan first. In three days' time, I will go to the Netherworld, and I will do what I say. Besides, with their strength, I believe that even if I want to hide from them, they can turn Daqing over and find me, right? ”
The corners of Yin Huan's mouth lifted a hint of mockery, and An De knelt on the ground violently, "Niangniang, if the truth is really as Niangniang thinks, the Netherworld Palace will make so much effort to find you, there will be no good thing, they kill people without blinking, if Niangniang rushes forward, the road ahead is unimaginable, please think twice." ”
"Ander, if they try to kill me, how difficult is it? Since he could quietly break into the heavily guarded palace and rob Ziyan, if he wanted to kill the palace, he would have already succeeded in it. The purpose of being able to make this palace think about them is to lure me to appear, and it is also because this palace knows that the chips in Ziyan's hand are only this palace. Hongu was curious to know what they wanted to do after doing so many things. Rest assured, they are not worthy of my life. Remember, no one is allowed to divulge half a sentence about today's events. After speaking, he swept coldly towards Mo Li, and Mo Li quickly knelt down and said yes.
"Yin Huan ......" Wancheng said in a deep voice: "The alliance leader will never pay attention to anyone's personal grievances, you are not a person in the rivers and lakes, and the alliance leader is willing to help, so you must take care of your affairs to the end, your status is noble, why take such a risk?" ”
"His life was saved by this palace with great difficulty, and if you want to send it out easily, you have to get the consent of this palace first. This palace has made up its mind, it is for the sake of childhood friendship, and I will entrust you with this important matter, if you postpone it again and again, this palace will never blame you, but it can't change the mind of this palace. ”
Yin Huan's eyes are firm, cold as frost, there are too many strange things in the past six months, she is trapped in a predicament and can't get out, in this case, why not just let her solve this situation?
Wan Cheng pursed his lips and said softly: "I oath when I was a child, Wan Cheng has not forgotten it so far, as long as you decide, I should obey it." With that, he turned around and walked out.
