Chapter 137: Preparation
What I thought of was that he had gone out to look for something for his grandson just now, and at this time the grandson had been waiting in the house for a long time without seeing his grandfather come out by himself.
"Grandpa. Where are you, grandpa, grandpa! The immature child's voice spread through the wall to the outside, and the shadow guard heard the cry and instantly understood when he saw Steward Luo's face.
This child must be his grandson, if he threatens his grandson to tell him that this matter will not turn around.
As soon as he scooped him up, Steward Luo took him back to the yard, and this time he directly dropped him and picked up his grandson.
This kid looks like he is about seven or eight years old, and he has a small braid and a face of collagen, which is very cute.
"This is your grandson, right? If you don't say that it's not you, it's him! ”
Steward Luo's heart trembled, but he still pretended not to understand, his life was saved by the master, if it wasn't for the master, how could he have a grandson, and he couldn't do anything to be sorry for him when he died.
"Be merciful to the strong man, I really don't know what you are talking about, my lord never talks to us about office affairs on weekdays, I don't know what you want me to say."
Steward Luo deliberately raised his voice, wanting to take this opportunity to attract people, so that this person would run away in a hurry.
"Be quiet! You think I don't know what you're up to, and if you want to get someone, then you'll wait to collect your grandson's body. ”
The shadow guard deliberately tightened the knife in his hand, the blade was directly next to his grandson's flesh, and the slightest movement would bleed.
Steward Luo knelt on the ground and almost cried, how could his little grandson suffer such a crime on weekdays.
And the little man in Shadow Guard's arms didn't perceive his danger at all, and he saw that Shadow Guard's sword was quite good, and he giggled all the time.
"Uncle, what are you asking, maybe I know." The child's family thought he was asking his grandfather questions and wanted to give himself a chance to perform.
Ying Wei's mind moved, thinking that maybe he could get some news from the child's mouth, even if he didn't get the news, it didn't matter, anyway, there was this old man.
Steward Luo saw that his grandson was going to talk to him, and he was more anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and the child just saw something and said something, but fortunately he didn't know anything.
But this time, Steward Luo didn't calculate that his grandson really knew something, and this information alone was enough for Baili Mingyu to know something.
"Then tell your uncle who Master Nalan is often with."
"Of course it's Uncle Xia and Uncle Yuyi, they often come to find the master, and they are very good to me, every time they see me, they will bring me sugar gourds."
"And you know what they're talking about every time they get together?"
"Of course, it's a practice uniform, and a poem to be right, I want to be a person like the master when I grow up, although he doesn't know kung fu, but I look at them and listen to him, so powerful."
Steward Luo's grandson said that Nalan Lingyu was in awe, in his heart, the master was a god-level existence, and there was nothing he couldn't do.
Steward Luo listened to it very well below, he really didn't teach this grandson in vain, and he admired the master when he was a child.
"So what exactly did you hear them say? For example, Jiangnan and the like. The shadow guard continued to be kind and persuasive, hoping to get some useful words out of this child's innermost set, so that he could go back to the errand.
The child thought for a moment in his arms, frowned, and said, "No." ”
The shadow guard was a little disappointed, but he didn't want to give up, so he took out a small amount of silver from his chest, looked at him and said with a smile: "If you can say that it is useful to your uncle, then this silver will be sold to you sugar gourd, okay?" ”
The child's eyes lit up when he saw that it was certain silver. He thought for a while and replied, "Uncle, last time I heard the master tell those uncles that the capital is going to change, does it count?" At that time, I waited for a long time, but it didn't snow, and I don't think what the master said was accurate. ”
Steward Luo's face immediately changed when he heard this, and when he heard this, he immediately spoke out to stop it.
"Hugh is talking nonsense! How did Grandpa teach you. ”
As soon as the child heard his grandfather's words, he just shook his head no matter how he asked, and this action of Steward Luo completely angered him.
"Dead old man! You shut up Lao Tzu! Talking will kill you! His sudden change in face also frightened the child in his arms, and he cried out.
The shadow guard panicked when he saw this posture, where would he coax a child, so he could only keep a straight face and continue to scare him.
"Don't cry! If you're crying, I'll kill your grandfather! ”
As soon as the child heard this, he cried and fussed in his arms, and accidentally hit the blade of the knife, and the blood on his face began to flow down his cheeks, so that he cried even louder.
Steward Luo couldn't bear it when he saw that his grandson had suffered such a grievance, and he rushed up to take the child, where was the shadow guard willing to give it, and his perennial martial arts experience made him subconsciously give Steward Luo a sword.
Steward Luo rushed and was cut off his neck with a sword, he covered his neck with a look of disbelief, and slowly fell to the ground.
As soon as the child saw his grandfather fall to the ground, he pushed him, and the shadow guard didn't know whether he was red-eyed or disgusted with the child being too noisy, and the child also lost his breath with a sword in his hand.
At this time, the people outside heard the movement and all ran over, and when they saw the two people lying in a pool of blood next to the shadow guard, they began to shout.
"Someone! Kill someone, come on! "The shadow guard ran away as soon as he saw that Jia Ding was coming, and he ran away because the child had been writhing in his arms, and he twisted the jade pendant he was carrying.
When he flew up, Yu Pei slid down his clothes and fell to the ground, and he didn't dodge out without a fight.
Nalan Lingyu didn't expect such a thing to happen in broad daylight in his mansion, he stood there and frowned at Steward Luo and his little grandson.
"Master, just now a man in black killed Steward Luo and his little grandson, I saw it, he flew up the wall and disappeared."
Nalan Lingyu followed the direction they pointed out and walked to the corner, and just happened to see the jade pendant that the shadow guard had dropped when he was leaving, and when he picked it up, his face changed instantly.
It seems that Baili Mingyu is already suspicious of him, this time the shadow guard should have come to ask about the situation, it seems that the current form is very bad.
"Hurry up and clean up here, I still have something to do." Nalan Lingyu took the jade pendant and strode out the door.
After a while, a solemn voice sounded in the study of the Xia Mansion.
"Are you saying that the emperor has already suspected you, what are you going to do next?"
"Uncle, I think you should leave now, if you don't leave, maybe this matter will affect you, I need to take the tilt out in the dark, and then we will go together."
Letting Xia Zhan go was tantamount to making him rebel, and he couldn't accept it for a while.
"Let's go, I won't follow you, I think the emperor is also a person who can tell right from wrong, he won't kill me."
Nalan Lingyu persuaded him for a long time to no avail, so he could only sigh helplessly, and killed him with the heart of Baili Mingyu.
Maybe not, Baili Mingyu will use Xia Zhan as a bargaining chip to force them at that time, how should he deal with himself at that time?
"Well, you think about it, I'll go back first."
Nalan Lingyu didn't stay too long, he originally stayed here to control the overall situation, so that Baili Mingyu wouldn't guess it was him at all, and it was too late to say anything now.
After he returned, he dismissed all the subordinates in the palace and began to make the final plan.
"You're looking for me?" Dark One has already walked out of the haze of Dark Er, and he has not entered the palace recently because he is afraid of alarming Baili Mingyu, after all, although there are no guards on the bright side of Xia Tianxin now, there should be many secret guards.
"You're here, I need to trouble you with something, the current situation can't allow us to wait any longer, I need you to take Tanting out directly and send him directly to leave the country, just say that I, Nalan Lingyu, please ask him, and I'll go back to her when I'm done with things here."
"Isn't it a planned direct capture here, how could the strategy change so suddenly? Isn't there anything else? ”
Secretly puzzled, it turned out that he didn't say that he would kill him directly, and he didn't have to hide by himself at all.
"You guessed right, Baili Mingyu sent a secret guard to directly ask Steward Luo this morning, and killed him and his little grandson together, I guess he should have used his little grandson to threaten him, if nothing else, at the latest tomorrow morning, he will definitely send troops to arrest me."
Baili Mingyu is also an emperor anyway, he still has a certain strategy, presumably he will definitely think of some things when he digests all the things today, and now he must make all preparations.
"It's really despicable, even children are killed, it turns out that the master * our secret guards have emphasized that they are not allowed to kill the old and weak women and children, he can really do it, what kind of master he has become a dog!"
After hearing this, I despised this shadow guard incomparably, they were all people who came out of Xia Zhan's hand, how could there be such a big difference.
"You can take the tilt out now, and tell her not to worry about Yi'er, Baili Mingyu will not kill him."
"Okay, I'll go now, and you have to be careful."
"I will, take care of Tilt." Nalan Lingyu glanced at the dark one deeply, he still had to stay to deal with Xia Zhan's affairs, if Xia Zhan died, how should he let the tilt deal with himself.
It was Ye Nalan Lingyu who hid, and he had accumulated some contacts for so long, so there was no problem in escaping, but the most important thing now was to let Xia Zhan out of the city.
Although Xia Zhan was not ready to go out, he had already sent all his family out after receiving the news, and now he was the only one left in the mansion.
In his heart, this country of no joy was fought down by him and Baili Ting, and he promised him to protect his country, even if he sacrificed his two daughters in order to consolidate his country.
In his heart, he is a dignified and victorious general, and it is absolutely impossible for him to do such a treacherous thing, even if his own son will, he will not.
Besides, he still has certain expectations for this little emperor, he believes that he will not kill himself, after all, he has been serving the country for so many years, but some things are destined to be different.
