Chapter 4: The Patriarch Comes to Find Fault
Just then, a group of guards walked in with a black-clad masked man strapped.
The leader was a baby-faced young guard, Jiang Cailing had seen him before, and he was one of Gu Jiming's cronies, Jiu Ge.
Jiu Ge walked in front of Gu Jiming and bowed his hand, "My lord, just now my subordinates were ambushed outside the Holy Lord's dormitory at your command, and sure enough, they saw a suspicious person. ”
Gu Jiming's analysis is not wrong, these people want to use this trick to create evil spirits to create chaos in the palace, and take advantage of the chaos to assassinate the saint.
Gu Jiming took off the black cloth of the masked man, revealing an evil and handsome face, Jiang Cailing looked familiar, as if he had seen it before.
"Say, By whom thou art commanded?" Jiu Ge said sharply.
The man cynically snorted, his eyebrows and eyes full of evil, "You call grandpa, I think about whether to say it." ”
"You!" Jiu Ge was obviously enraged, and raised his sword to the man's throat.
"You're good-looking, you're my type of person." The moon broke through the dark clouds and poured silver light all over the courtyard, and the blade reflected the cold light, and the man raised his lips and smiled, an indescribable evil spirit.
Jiu Ge's face didn't know whether he was angry or ashamed, and the tip of the sword was a little closer. Just when everyone didn't react, the man approached the sword and slammed straight into Jiu Ge's blade, blood splattered three feet, and he died on the spot.
The man who fell to the ground took off his evil aura, the moonlight shone on the man's face, and Jiang Cailing almost blurted out a name.
Sleepless!
couldn't bear to close her eyes, this reaction was normal for a girl who had not yet come out of the pavilion to see a bloody scene for the first time, so no one would notice that Jiang Cailing's hand clenched into a fist trembled slightly, and even if she found out, she would think she was afraid.
The masked man was none other than the sleepless man who had followed her with Jiang Que in the first place.
Sleepless is the godbrother of the river finch, and his family died when the flood was blowing. He was only eight or nine years old at the time, and on the way out of the palace to purchase, he met Jiang Que, and when he saw that he was pitiful, he secretly sent Jiang Cailing's snacks out of the palace to Weisleep.
Later, Jiang Cailing found out that she was surprised to see the child's bones, so she sent him to Kunlun Mountain to learn martial arts. Sleepless appeared once when the old emperor died, and the little child had grown into a young man, and she returned to Kunlun Mountain after protecting her to become the queen mother.
It was only three years since then, and Sleepless reappeared, but in this way.
couldn't help but look at Jiang Que, and found that there was no sad expression on the latter's face, and the unwillingness and helplessness that flashed in her eyes were captured by Jiang Cailing, which couldn't help but make her even more confused.
Although Jiang Que and Sleepless are not sisters and brothers, they are closer than sisters and brothers, why is Sleepless dying now, but there is no sadness in her eyes?
After seeing Sleepless, she was even more sure that today's evil spirit was inseparable from Jiang Finch, because she had helped her make this kind of prop. Jiang Finch's hands are very skillful, when the New Year festival is to paste window flowers, Jiang Que will easily cut a small statue for her, lifelike, just now Gu Jiming lifted from the box The small portrait of the side face is very similar to her charm, and others will never do it so realistically.
"Damn, you actually committed suicide, you throw this man into a mass grave!" Jiu Ge withdrew his sword, the annoyance and blush on his face had not completely subsided, and beckoned the other companions to drag Weimian away.
After carefully looking at the sleepless corpse, Gu Ji looked away, and said aloud to everyone, "I'm sorry, because this matter is related to the safety of the saint, so I left you in the palace, and now that the real culprit has been identified, you can leave." ”
Things are not so simple, Gu Jiming thinks so in his heart, and Jiang Cailing doesn't know it.
After returning to the house, she even claimed to be sleepy, and after everyone fell asleep, she changed into dark clothes and went to the mass grave.
The sky was scarlet, the moon was faint, and the stars were gone.
The night wind at the beginning of autumn was very cold, and the mass grave was on the outskirts of the city.
Many corpses were scattered in a mess, piled up into a small mountain, some without heads, some with holes in their bodies, and the smell of blood and the stench of decay rushed towards them, which attracted nearby wild dogs and hungry wolves, and many of the corpses could be seen to be bitten by sharp teeth. However, today there should have been animal repellent medicine sprinkled here in advance, and no wild wolves and wild dogs came to share the food.
Walking on the corpse, Jiang Cailing did not have any discomfort, but explored business opportunities, and felt that her corpse water should be promoted, so that even if she died, she would not rot and grow maggots, and when the wolf dog shared the food, she would compete for decency when she was alive, and she would never be disrespectful after death.
The reason why she came here was because she suspected that Sleepless was not dead at all. She had previously developed a class of fake death pills that could cause death, but the deep wounds would heal immediately, while the superficial wounds would continue to flow blood, accompanied by the loss of pulse and the phenomenon of respiratory arrest, causing the illusion of death.
She remembered that in Jiang Que's dowry, she put a lot of Qimen medicine in a small box, and there was this fake death pill inside.
"Sleepless!" A familiar voice came, it was the voice of a river finch.
Sleepless patted the clothes on his body with disgust, and the phoenix eyes on the top were unwilling, "If it weren't for An He's accidental death, our plan would have succeeded!" ”
Looking at the sleepless dragon and fire tiger, Jiang Cailing sank, and sure enough, this was the case.
"You didn't kill Anhe?"
"Of course not, An and that old woman want to make love to me when she sees that I am good-looking, I guess I am regarded as a male pet, although I eat both men and women, but I only like good-looking people, An He can be my mother at her age. At that time, there was no one around, I never hit a woman, I couldn't do it, I had to hide, and then I jumped into the water and left, and I don't know what happened next. ”
It turned out that this was the case, Jiang Cailing didn't expect An He to be because of the beauty that coveted the sleepless beauty, and she was fascinated for a while, and when she saw the beauty jumping into the water, she also jumped into the water, and she didn't know water, and there were no eunuchs and palace maids by her side, so she naturally struggled and struggled to die.
"Originally, I wanted to kill the little emperor, but I didn't expect to encounter An He's accident, this time I didn't succeed, Gu Jiming will definitely strengthen the security in the palace, and then it will be difficult for us to kill the little emperor, but you, the dignified Kunlun lord, can't defeat those guards."
Sleepless lowered his head and muttered something in his mouth, Jiang Cailing didn't hear it clearly, only heard Sleepless behind her say loudly, "Sister, don't worry, the little emperor has harmed the Queen Mother, I will definitely avenge the Queen Mother!" ”
Jiang Cailing suddenly understood that they thought Guo Ang had killed her and wanted to kill Guo Ang to avenge her.
She was fortunate to be reborn, and she wanted to live a normal life simply, without wanting revenge, nor wanting others to avenge her. She does have a grudge against her personal feelings, but she and Gu Jiming are people who stand on two positions, and they can only sigh that their skills are inferior to others, and they are difficult to defeat beauty, resulting in a loss of the whole game.
Sleepless has outstanding martial arts and has become the lord of Kunlun, but his personality is pure and good, and his mind and strategy are far inferior to Gu Jiming; Jiang Que is thoughtful, but his heart is soft, and his wrists are not vicious enough.
Gu Jiming is as meticulous as dust, meticulous and calm, the most important thing is that he is clever and ruthless, and the two of them are definitely not Gu Jiming's opponents when they join forces, but will put their own lives into it.
This is the last thing she wants.
Thinking of this, Jiang Cailing held her breath and turned to hide in the bushes, put her hand to her mouth to create an ethereal feeling, and said faintly in the voice of her previous life, "Finch, sleepless, is it you!" ”
"Mother?" Jiang Que immediately heard Jiang Cailing's voice, at first thought that there was an auditory hallucination, but after Gu Jiming looked at each other to make sure that they had heard Jiang Cailing's voice, excitement flashed in their eyes.
But when he thought about it, Jiang Que's eyes were stained with suspicion, "Who is pretending to be a ghost, and he hasn't shown up quickly!" ”
The sleepless hand was on the hilt of the sword, as if the next moment it would sharpen the scabbard.
"Finch, do you remember what the mourning family said at first glance when they saw you again? Ten years on, you are still shrewd and meticulous, although the mourning family did not make you rich and rich, but also did not let you die without a place to be buried. ”
- You girl is clever and meticulous, do you think that following me may be prosperous and rich all my life, and I will die without a place to be buried?
This was the first thing Jiang Cailing said to Qi'er, and there was no one else at that time.
Hearing this, Jiang Que's eyes burst out with shining brilliance, and there were tears of disbelief in his eyes, "Niangniang, is it really you?" ”
"I heard that you want to avenge the mourning family, but the mourning family is not at ease, so I turned back from Huangquan Road, just to tell you not to avenge the mourning family, just live your own life."
"But Niangniang, Guo Ang killed you!"
"No, it's not him, anyway, you are not allowed to avenge the mourning family again, understand?"
"Understood...... Jiang Que replied, but obviously unwilling.
Jiang Cailing thought for a while and continued to speak, "The mourning family knows your goodness, the daughter of the He family, He Ling'er, is very close to the mourning family, if the He family is in trouble, you can help it, and it can be regarded as helping the mourning family, remember?" ”
Although the two didn't know how He Ling'er could have a relationship with the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother said that fate is fate, so she replied respectfully: "Que'er, Sleepless understands." ”
This time, Jiang Cailing's "manifestation" made Jiang Que completely let go of the obsession of revenge, and was very relieved to learn that Jiang Cailing had no resentment after her death, and felt comforted in her heart, and had a few curious feelings about He Ling'er that the Queen Mother said.
After pretending to be a ghost in the mass grave, Jiang Cailing had nothing to do for a few days, and routined Bai Lotus in the room, so that she unconsciously told her what she wanted to know.
Although He Mingshan is the most promising branch of the He family, but it is a concubine, the patriarch is old-fashioned, pays attention to the concubine, and prefers the He family's grandson branch very much, but the He family's grandson branch is a dou who can't be supported, the head of the He family's branch is He Mingshan's cousin He Minghai, this He Minghai has a main room with three concubines and six rooms, and gave birth to a son and two daughters, except for the youngest daughter He Xiangxiang is a lovely child, one is more absurd than the other:
The eldest son He Zongyao robbed the people's daughter and almost killed him, and the eldest daughter He Xiaoxiao lost her virginity before marriage, in short, this family is in chaos, and the patriarch will always use the words of the common prosperity of the He family to let He Mingshan find a way to solve it, as the saying goes, it is to wipe the buttocks.
Now, the patriarch is here again, for He Zongyao, and he specially called Jiang Cailing. Jiang Cailing always felt that this incident was related to her, so she simply freshened up, and went to the front hall wearing an apricot-colored Luo skirt.
