Chapter 13: What is the Truth?

Seeing that there were still two street corners to see the gate of the Dong family, Ye Jing saw a black figure stumbling towards her, she couldn't dodge and collided with the person all of a sudden, and turned around, but saw that it was a bamboo noise.

Ye Jing sat on the ground panting, his heart was pounding, and he was about to jump out. She struggled to her feet and leaned over to Zhu Huo's side, "Are you alright?" What about the group of Assassins? ”

Zhu Huo said intermittently: "No...... It's okay, I'm ...... I hid in a ditch...... Dump them. ”

He picked up Ye Jing and walked quickly towards the back door of the Dong Mansion, "Then hurry up and go back, if we chase after us again, we will die." ”

Although Zhu Huo was holding Ye Jing, he was trying to stay away from Ye Jing's body, and the stench brought by him from the gutter was really not good.

"Young Master, why are you ......?"

Ye Jing hurriedly interrupted the porter, glared at him and said, "I saw some blood in a fight with someone in the academy today, if I heard about it in my father's mouth, I wouldn't be able to spare you!" ”

The porter was frightened by Ye Jing's appearance that he was not a human or a ghost now, and he trembled and agreed: "The little one understands, the little one understands, the young master goes to the appointment and returns late, and the little one only knows this." ”

Ye Jing took out two coins of silver from his arms, and handed them to the porter with some pain, "If you know each other, it will be good." ”

Hiding in Tibet along the way, Ye Jing finally secretly returned to the room, because she was afraid that her identity would be exposed, she refused a big push maid arranged for her by Dong's mother, but now that she thinks about it, she is extremely wise.

The two of them sat down at the table, speechless for a while, Zhu moved his lips and said, "The little one sent someone to ask the young master for a doctor." ”

Ye Jing hurriedly stopped him, "No need, I'm not in the way, but my back hurts a little." She reached out and touched it, and she felt something stuck in her back.

She turned around and said, "You help me pull it out, I have some medicine in the house, just apply it, that's how I got it last time." ”

Zhu Huo frowned a little suspiciously, but still gently held the dart, and pulled it out with a sharp force. Ye Jing trembled all over, gasped in pain, and it took a while to recover.

She turned to look at Zhu Huo, and saw that he was covered in mud, but there were no darts on his body, and she breathed a sigh of relief, "Thanks to you not hitting the dart, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to escape." ”

Zhu Huo spread out his hand and handed her the dart, "I'm fine, the young master should bandage the wound first." ”

Ye Jing was a little silent for a while, rubbing the darts with her sleeve, but cold sweat broke out on her back, she refused to ask for a doctor because she was afraid that her identity would be exposed, what if Zhu Huo saw the clues?

Thinking about it, she was only twelve years old, so she shouldn't be wrong, thinking of this, she nodded, "The medicine is in the cabinet in my room, and there is a walnut box in it." She frowned, and then continued: "Take a bath first, you don't have to worry about me, clean up yourself." ”

Zhu Huo whispered.

Ye Jing lay on the bed, feeling that the ointment was cold and comfortable when applied to the wound, it was worthy of being produced by Dr. Zhu, and she thanked Zhu Qishen silently in her heart.

Zhu Huo stared at Ye Jing's back and was a little stunned, the wound was actually not very deep, and the blood had long since stopped.

Ye Jing padd his chin with one hand and played with the dart with the other, and said, "Zhu Huo, this dart is exquisitely made, and it is also engraved with lotus patterns, do you recognize it?" ”

Zhu Huo took the strip of cloth and was about to bandage Ye Jing, but Ye Jing interrupted: "Wrap it later, look at this dart." ”

"I haven't seen the small one, but King Liang ......"

Ye Jing suddenly interrupted, "King Xilian of Liang once built a lotus garden in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

Ye Jing got up and turned his head to look at Zhu Huo, "What does Fengjia have to do with you?" ”

Zhu Huo lowered his head and said in a low voice: "I don't know, little one." ”

"It is rumored that a year ago, Fengjia held a wedding for his youngest son during the national mourning period, and was beheaded by King Liang, and if the youngest son of Fengjia is still alive, he will be fourteen years old this year." Ye Jing raised Zhu Huo's chin and continued, "Why do you say someone wants to assassinate me? ”

Zhu Huo raised his eyebrows and bowed his head, "Xu is to take revenge on the old man's enemy." ”

"Enemies? There is also this possibility, but everyone in the world knows that I am my father's adopted son, but I have been in the capital for more than a month, and I am dead, not only will it not cause any impact, but I will be hated by my father. Ye Jing raised his eyebrows, not quite agreeing.

"I know you have a lot to hide from me, and I don't blame you, everyone has their own privacy." Ye Jing continued, "But now that it's come to this point, you should tell me what I think has an impact on me. ”

Zhu Huo still lowered his head and didn't say a word.

Ye Jing sighed and leaned back on the bedpost, "On the night of the second day of the ninth lunar month, what are you doing outside, don't quibble and make excuses." If you still have something to hide, you can go, I don't lack you a little servant. ”

Zhu Huo suddenly raised his head, his eyes reflected the firelight, he knelt on the ground, and paused for a long time before he spoke: "My surname is Feng, my father is a Hubu Langzhong, and a year ago, he was charged with disrespect for no reason, and he was beheaded all over the house. My father is clear and has not done anything disrespectful to the emperor! It's Lin Yuanzhi, the dog thief......" The expression on Zhu Huo's face became hideous, and he knelt on the ground trembling all over, panting and unable to speak.

Ye Jing wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know how to speak, and he didn't want to ask him about the second night of the ninth lunar month, so he had to say softly: "You go back to rest first, people can't be resurrected after death, mourn." ”

Zhu Huo got up as promised, and his figure with his back to Ye Jing seemed to be still trembling.

Ye Jing wrapped up the wound and rubbed the dart in his hand, his mind was chaotic.

No, there is something strange about this matter, if it is the assassination of King Liang, why did it leave such an obvious mark, why is there no poison on the dart? But who can it be if it's not King Liang? She thought about it for a while, and she really couldn't think of a second person who could kill her for a reason.

Ye Jing pursed his lips, if King Liang didn't kill people to kill him, did he want to capture him alive? From this point of view, his target should be Zhu Huo, and it is difficult for Zhu Huo to really have evidence of Lin Yuanzhi's disobedience in his hands. No, if Zhu Huo knew, he wouldn't have endured it so much, and Dong Jingshan should have known about it.

That night, it was difficult for Zhu Huo to go back to see Dong Jingshan, no wonder Dong Jingshan talked to her several times and knew her situation well. The more Ye Jing thought about it, the more he felt that this explanation was reliable.

Here, in the bamboo room, the masked man who was sitting in his room that night was drinking tea. The house was pitch black, and only his vague outline and a pair of sparkling eyes could be seen.

"Didn't I tell you, you just need to scare and scare him, the secret weapon was thrown at me, how did you hurt him?" Zhu Huo lowered his voice and paused, "If he dies, where will I go to find someone to divert the attention of that dog thief." ”

The masked man sneered and curled the corners of his mouth mockingly, "You care about him, what?" So faithful? If I don't hurt him, can he bite the thief? ”

"You!" Zhu Huo was speechless for a while, he clenched his fists and took a deep breath, "Xiaozhou, I know you have always blamed me, but next time we discuss something, can you not change it without authorization?" ”

"You're a coward! Indecisive, you're soft-hearted! The masked man stood up abruptly, "I'm for your good!" With that, he flew out of the room, bringing a cool breeze.

"Huh~ Coward? yes, I'm a coward. Bamboo laughed self-deprecatingly, threw himself on the couch and didn't move.

Ye Jing went to the academy to attend classes like a nobody on the second day, and she couldn't help but sigh again, Dr. Zhu's medicine is good, the next time I meet him, he must hug his thighs and ask him if he still lacks a granddaughter?

Zhu Huo was not interested today, his eyes were blue and black, and he obviously didn't sleep well, Ye Jing sighed, suddenly held his hand, and said softly: "I also have a broken family, and now you don't have any family, so I'll be your family?" ”

Ye Jing looked at Zhu Huo's eyes, there was a rare sincerity in his eyes, although Zhu Huo might report to the old fox that he had beaten her, but he treated her very well these days. Although he didn't talk much, he did things beautifully. It seems good to have such a family.

Besides, she remembered the young man who was trembling on his knees last night, and she still felt distressed.

"Okay." Zhu Huo spat out this sentence faintly and clenched her hand.

Ye Jing leaned on the wall of the car, feeling inexplicably happy, and squinted in a very good mood.

The first thing Ye Jing did after arriving at the academy was to meet Li Xiucai, and she wanted to quickly ask him to arrange for Zhu Huo to go to the audit.

"Mountain Chief, Mountain Chief!" Ye Jing shouted at Li Xiucai from afar.

Li Xiucai turned around and stood in place, and saw Ye Jingfeng rushing over in a rage, shouting: "Mountain Chief, I beg you something, can you let my scholar go to the audit, if I don't understand something, I can discuss it with him,"

"From today on, you will not only listen to "Spring and Autumn", but also add a section of "The Book of Rites". He looked at Ye Jing with disgust, and continued, "Just let your scholar learn the Book of Rites, I guess I know the rules better than you." ”

Ye Jing's face that collapsed when she heard the first half of the sentence suddenly lit up when she heard the second half of the sentence, and she smiled and said, "Thank you, Mountain Chief, I know." ”

After finishing speaking, he was about to turn around and go to Zhuhuo to go to class, but Li Xiucai suddenly stopped him: "Slow, I haven't finished talking yet." Your scholar has finished learning and relayed it to you, you stay with me today, and I have something to tell you. ”

"That bamboo is ......noisy," Ye Jing immediately continued.

"I will send to him, and you will come with me." Li Xiucai waved his hand and interrupted him.

Ye Jing followed behind Li Xiucai curiously, only to see him turn left and right, and take her to a rockery next to Xiaomei Mountain.

Li Xiucai opened the wisteria hanging on the rockery, revealing a stone door less than one person high, with a copper lock hanging on the door, and it seemed that someone often touched the color.

Sure enough, I saw Li Xiucai take out the key from his sleeve and skillfully unlock the door and enter the door.

It was pitch black in the cave, and Li Xiucai lit a candle and removed a heavy iron cabinet.

I saw a small window less than a foot long and wide revealing from the back of the cabinet, and the outside was crawling with wisteria, which only emitted a faint green light. This is for breathing.

Ye Jing looked at Li Xiucai's series of actions in a daze, and vaguely felt that today's things were not simple.
