Chapter 137
Peony has left the best position upstairs, which is private and will not be disturbed, and the view is extremely wide, and everything downstairs is in full view. I was the first to sit down, which made Peony confused. Didn't you say that it was the male pet of the son? Why is the pomp so big, before the master has taken a seat, he sat down first. What's more, there is also a prince here, so he is too rude? Could it be that this lord's status is extremely unusual?
It's not a day or two for peonies to be in such a place, but they still can't notice one or two. At least this person with a calm momentum and a cold face will definitely not be below the Ten Kings. In this court, in addition to the current emperor, in this Luoyang City, there is only one who has a higher status than the ten kings, and appears with the ten kings. That is the famous Nine Kings Zhongwu period.
It is rumored that the Nine Kings are not close to women, but they are as good as Longyang, so it seems to be true. However, the heroic Nine Kings have become the male pets of others. This is really an eye-opener, and sure enough, people can't look good.
Fortunately, Peony has seen a lot of wind and waves, although he was surprised, he didn't show it at all. She smiled and said, "The three of you, please take a seat first, I have prepared tea and snacks, and I will deliver them in a while." Peony is about to start singing, and he has to go down to prepare first, so he won't accompany him here. ”
The ten kings lifted their robes and sat down, waved their hands and said, "Go down, this king will be rewarded for singing well." ”
Peony pursed her lips and smiled: "I will not disappoint the prince." ”
As soon as the peony went down, a small servant came up with tea. Ying Ning sat next to Wu Qi and didn't dare to move, he kept a gloomy face, and he didn't speak, the atmosphere was awkward for a while, and the Ten Kings couldn't stand it, so he said: "Brother Jiu, I'm here to have fun, you cry and mourn your face, so I don't feel good." ”
Wu Qi glanced at him coldly, and said lightly: "If you're not in the mood, get out of here!" ”
The Ten Kings were choked, and it took a long time before they said: "I brought the little beauty in, just to let her listen to the music and open her eyes." You won't do anything bad, why do you want to be like this? ”
I looked at the Yingge Yan Dance downstairs, and the women were all dressed in tulle, with open breasts and breasts, with obscene expressions. Where is this where a girl's family should be? He was even more angry, and said in a cold tone: "That's it this time, and next time, see if I don't break your legs." ”
The Ten Kings finally surrendered, and said helplessly: "I know, I will definitely not bring the little beauty to this kind of place again in the future." lest her heart be pure, and defiled. ”
Wu Qi snorted, turned his head to Ying Ning and said, "Did you hear everything?" ”
Ying Ning nodded hurriedly: "Well, I heard it, I only came this time, and I won't come again in the future." ”
Finally satisfied, I picked up the tea on the table and drank it gently.
The music was changed downstairs, and it turned out to be Peony on the stage. She changed into a white dress, put on a fresh and elegant lotus makeup, lowered her eyebrows and smiled, like a white elf, with a clean and pure taste, and a lot less wind and dust.
The peony is fairy and beautiful, no wonder the ten kings will never forget. The people under the stage screamed as if they were coaxing, and Peony seemed to be used to seeing such a scene, and the expression on his face did not change at all. He sat next to the guqin, and his fingers plucked the strings a few times, and the music sounded as beautiful as mountains and rivers.
The peony really has a good voice, ethereal and tactful, like Kunshan jade crushed, like hibiscus crying dew.
In the past, I went back, and the willows followed.
Now I think about it, the rain and snow are falling.
The way is slow, thirsty and hungry.
My heart is sad, and I don't know how I mourn......
After the song was finished, the ten kings clapped their hands and said: "This song should only exist in the sky, how many times can I hear it in the world." The music of the peony is getting better and better, which is intoxicating. ”
Ying Ning also felt good, and was about to clap her hands to applaud, but my face was faint, and she didn't seem to feel happy. Ying Ning's raised hand was gently lowered again.
Wu Qi slowly got up, tidied up his robe, looked at Ying Ning and said, "I've finished listening to the song, go back to the house with this king." ”
Ying Ning frowned, this is a rare return, how can you go back after listening to a song, it is too cost-effective. It's just my cold expression, she really doesn't dare to resist. Yingning had no choice but to ask the Ten Kings for help, and the Ten Kings quickly accepted it, got up and pulled me and said, "Brother Jiu, there is still a show to be finished." Peony is not only good at singing, but also good at dancing. You look at her slender figure, she dances, and she simply fascinates all beings. ”
I brushed his hand away and said coldly: "I only said that I wanted to listen to the music, but I didn't say that I wanted to watch the dance." ”
"Brother Jiu, when did you become so rigid, the little beauty wants to see it, let her see it......" Before he finished speaking, a knife shot from his eyes, and he was silenced. After all, this ninth brother of his, if he turned his face, he might really be beaten.
The Ten Kings had no choice but to say: "Okay, okay, Brother Jiu is clean and clean, and he will not be in the same stream as me, and you will go." ”
I sneered and said in a deep voice, "You go back with you." ”
"No, if you want to go back, go back, take me with you. I still have a lot to talk about with Peony. The Ten Kings glared and said angrily.
"Believe it or not, I demolished the Drunken Spring Building." My period is half-true and half-false, and the ten kings were stunned for a while, and it didn't look like they were joking. His ninth brother has never been the same, and he can do anything. He stomped his foot and roared, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll admit defeat." ”
They were about to go downstairs when they saw the door slamming shut. Before everyone could react, dozens of masked men jumped in from all directions, on rooftops, and from windows. With machetes in their hands, they rushed at them with a clear target. Everyone was so frightened that they scattered and fled, and the drunken spring building of Nuoda was still crowded with people just now, singing and dancing, and after a while, there were only a few of them left. If they want to get out of the way at the moment, I'm afraid it's not so easy.
Mo Yan stood in front of me, and I protected Yingning behind him. Zhong Zirong on the side shouted: "What's going on? You protect me, I can't beat them. ”
Wu Qi glanced at Zhong Zirong and said coldly: "I usually know that I spend all my time drinking, and if I don't practice well, I won't even be useful at critical moments." There are a lot of them, I may not be able to take care of you, you should be clever yourself. After speaking, he turned back to Yingning and said, "Find a hidden place to hide, I won't tell you not to come out." ”
Before Ying Ning could agree, he rushed into the crowd. Zhong Zirong pulled Ying Ning and shouted in a panic: "Let's hide together." ”
Ying Ning didn't move, frowned, and said, "Aren't you going to help them?" ”
Zhong Zirong said with a panicked face: "My kung fu is not enough to make trouble for them." Don't worry, with Brother Jiu's kung fu, these people are not opponents at all, let's hide, Brother Nine can concentrate on killing the enemy, right? ”
Yingning was dragged by Zhong Zirong to hide behind a big pillar, only to hear the sound of soldiers meeting downstairs, and a few screams from time to time. Ying Ning wanted to rush out several times, but was dragged back by Zhong Zirong. He glared and whispered, "You're not afraid of death, why are you so brave and fearless?" Stay here, didn't Brother Jiu say it, he didn't tell you not to go out. ”
Ying Ning was almost about to roll her eyes, although she couldn't abuse her spiritual power in the mortal world, she still had some kung fu. Zhong Zirong, a coward, looks like a prince.
I was in the middle of the battle, and out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly saw a few people quietly touching the second floor, as if they were coming for the two of them. However, although these people also covered their faces, they were not dressed like those downstairs, and their momentum was not enough, and the knives in their hands were much inferior.
I said to Mo Yan not far away: "Downstairs, you resist for a while, Yingning and Zirong are in danger." ”
A few people surrounded Mo Yan, and he didn't care about answering, he only hummed quickly, and I looked for a gap and jumped upstairs with my strength.
Ying Ning was still melancholy, only to hear a sound of caution, and was picked up by the waist. Ying Ning spun around, and I blocked the slash. The knife cut my arm, Zhong Zirong on the side got up and kicked the man in the chest, the railing on the second floor broke in response, and the man rolled down, and after a while, a scream came.
The rest of the people seemed to be startled, looked at each other for a while, and turned around and ran.
Ying Ning grabbed Wu Qi's arm and said anxiously, "You are injured and have lost a lot of blood. ”
Wu Qi touched her head and said softly, "It's okay, it's just a skin injury." ”
At this time, the door downstairs was suddenly kicked open from the outside, and a group of officers and soldiers rushed in. The officers and soldiers at the head shouted: "Whoever is presumptuous here, take down all of them to this officer." ”
When the masked men saw that they had arrived, and that they could not get any benefit today, they fled one after another.
I went downstairs, and the officer and soldier seemed to recognize him, and hurriedly said, "It turns out that the Ninth Prince is here, I don't know what happened?" ”
Mo Yan seemed to have caught a live mouth, pulled down his face scarf, and looked like a barbarian. I was about to interrogate him a few words, when the man suddenly tilted his head and spat out a mouthful of blood. Mo Yan hurriedly pinched his chin, glanced at it, and sighed, "I committed suicide by taking poison." ”
Wu Qi snorted coldly and said to the officer and soldier: "Someone wants to assassinate this king, it should be a Huns." Immediately search the whole city, arrest all the Huns who are in doubt, and the king will personally interrogate them. ”
The man received the order and immediately went out with the officers and soldiers.
Ying Ning rushed down from the stairs, grabbed his still bleeding arm, and was about to use his spiritual power to help him stop the bleeding, but suddenly remembered that he was not good at revealing his identity. She raised her finger and quietly put it down, only turned her head to Mo Yan and said, "The prince is injured, send the prince back to the house quickly." ”
Mo Yan put away the sword and came to help me, but he waved his hand and said, "It's just a small injury, this king can go by himself." ”
When they returned to the house, there was already an imperial doctor waiting. Although the wound was not shallow, it did not hurt the muscles and bones. The imperial physician applied the medicine and bandaged it carefully. Finally, he handed over the remaining medicine powder to Yingning, and instructed him to change the medicine once a day to avoid seeing water and be careful of infection.
I probably lost a lot of blood and felt very tired, so Yingning waited for him to sleep. When he fell asleep, she closed the door and came out, and Mo Yan stood at the door.
She asked in a low voice, "Do you know why those Huns wanted to assassinate the prince?" ”
Mo Yan said: "The Xiongnu have repeatedly violated the border of our dynasty in recent years, but they have been defeated by the prince every time. They probably thought that as long as the prince died, they would be able to succeed. So he took a risk and came to assassinate the prince. I've encountered it before, so don't worry about it. ”
Ying Ning said indifferently: "The prince is deeply blessed, and he will be fine." It's just that these Huns are too rampant, and they have failed to assassinate them several times, so they will definitely not give up. The prince is now injured, and the palace must send more manpower to protect the prince's safety. In addition, it is necessary to speed up the capture of the Xiongnu, so that they can not have another chance to get close to the prince. ”
Mo Yan bowed his head and said: "Yes, I have transferred hundreds of elite soldiers, and there are secret guards in the palace, if those Huns dare to come, let them have no return." ”
Ying Ning nodded, and suddenly remembered something, the few small people upstairs didn't seem to be Huns. Looking more like some family servants, she said softly: "There is one more thing, I need you to help me check it." Who was the man who was kicked down from the building by the Ten Kings and fell to his death? But the subordinate of which mansion in the city. ”
"The one who hurt the prince? He's not a Huns? Mo Yan asked suspiciously, he had always thought it was a gang.
Ying Ning recalled it seriously, shook his head and said: "The clothes are not like this, and the skills are extremely weak, which is completely different from those Huns who are ruthless and fatal. ”
"The girl means that there is still a group of people who want to harm the prince?" Mo Yan frowned, looking like a great enemy. It's just that the Huns are okay, at least they know the roots. But if there is someone else who wants to harm the prince, there is no clue.
Ying Ning smiled softly: "No, I'm afraid this wave is coming at me." ”
