Chapter 126: Childhood Companions
Slowly pushed open the door, only to see Yuan Yun hanging his hands and sitting aside. Yuan Yun saw Kou Shu push the door in, and quickly stood up and saluted Kou Shu.
Kou Shu waved her hand lightly, signaling that Yuan Yun didn't need to be polite: "Isn't Yuan Ming awake yet?" β
Shaking his head, Yuan Yun's voice was a little hoarse: "My brother has been talking mushly, and now he has just fallen asleep." It should be asleep by now. β
"Uh-huh......" A familiar whisper suddenly came from the bed, and a trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of Kou Shu and Yuan Yun, and then turned their heads and walked towards Yuan Ming's bed.
"Water, water, I want to drink water...... Yuan Ming's throat seemed to be stuffed with a ball of cotton, and his voice was soft and hoarse, without a trace of strength.
Yuan Yun hurriedly poured a glass of water for Yuan Ming.
After being convinced, Yuan Ming's eyes were a lot clearer, but his voice was still a little hoarse, and he saluted Kou Shu and said, "Niangniang, Yuan Ming has caused you trouble again." β
Kou Shu unusually didn't say anything to comfort Yuan Ming, glanced at Yuan Ming lightly, and then said: "Yuan Yun, you go out first, I have something to say to Yuan Ming." β
Yuan Yun pushed the door out, and in the huge room, only Kou Shu and Yuan Ming were left looking at each other. Kou Shu's eyes slowly drooped, and those who were familiar with Kou Shu knew that this was a precursor to what she had something to say.
"Yuan Ming, since you and Yuan Yun followed me, you ask yourself, how do I treat you?" Kou Shu groaned.
Yuan Ming was stunned for a moment, and said honestly: "Niangniang takes good care of me and my sister, like relatives. β
"Well," Kou Shu nodded, "then do you remember why I said I was going to keep you, I was going to need you?" β
Yuan Ming was stunned for a moment, as if he had noticed something, there was a hint of dodging in his eyes, and he continued: "The master died unjustly, and the death is unknown, Niangniang wants to find out the death of the master and Zhaoxue for the master." β
"That's rightβ" A chill appeared in Kou Shu's voice, "Then you know the clues, why didn't you tell me?" Outside the Tibetan Scroll Pavilion of Dali Temple that day, who fought with you, and who injured you? β
Yuan Ming lowered his head and was silent.
Kou Shu raised her eyebrows: "Yuan Ming, you should know, now that my father has died unjustly, the Kou family has become a rat crossing the street, and the people have belittled my father from a famous general to a treacherous and shameless traitor, on the gate of my Kou family, there is still red paint splashed by others, don't you know these things?" Are you indifferent to all this? β
"Niangniang-" Yuan Ming's voice was hoarse, but he spoke slowly: "Yuan Ming understands." β
"Yuan Ming, you know that I don't want this sentence," It's already the height of spring now, and the weather is already very warm, but Kou Shu's voice is like the ice of the thirty-nine days.
After being silent for a long time, Yuan Mingcai hoarsely swallowed his throat and spoke word by word: "His name is Kou Yan, and he is the person who has the best relationship with me in Kou Mangzhong, except for his sister." β
"Kou Yan?" Kou Shu raised his eyebrows: "Is it you who he hurt?" β
Yuan Ming shook his head: "There were three of them in their group that day. Kou Yan was just one of them, and it was another man who fought with me. Seeing my hand, Kou Yan also intervened to stop it. β
Kou Shu sneered: "Since you are already on the opposite side of you, what difference does it make if you block it or not?" How did your injuries come about, isn't it because of their group? β
Yuan Ming was silent, and said a little stunned: "Kou Yan may have a last resort. β
"Do you know where he is now?" Kou Shu didn't answer Yuan Ming's words, and the style of painting changed, and he turned around.
Yuan Ming was stunned for a moment, as if he was still hesitating about something. But he heard Yuan Yun push the door suddenly, broke in, and hurriedly said, "Brother, what are you thinking?" When the mother asks you, don't you say it quickly? β
When Yuan Ming heard Yuan Yun's words, he seemed to be still thinking, and after a while, his eyes darkened, don't turn his head, and he didn't seem to want to say more.
Kou Shu's eyes were as cold as ice, without a trace of emotion, but said lightly: "Since you don't want to say it, you don't have to follow me in the future." Half of the poison on your body has been cleared, and you can leave tomorrow when the Qingcheng Gate Master finishes cleaning the other half of the poison for you. β
Hearing the three words Qingchengmen, a hint of strange color flashed in Yuan Ming's eyes.
Yuan Yun felt Yuan Ming's eyes even more, and hurriedly spoke: "Do you know that in order to cure your body, Niangniang and I have been running for many days, going to Qingcheng Gate, and Niangniang personally went to ask the master of Qingcheng Gate to come to detoxify you." Why are you still so unenlightened, and what are you going to do to protect him? From the moment he betrayed his master, he should have known his consequences. β
Yuan Ming sighed heavily, closed his eyes as if he had made up his mind, and said, "Kou Yan grew up with me since he was a child, and he and I were separated from each other two years ago to carry out different tasks, and since then, I have rarely seen him. I almost didn't recognize him outside the Tibetan Scroll Pavilion that day. β
"Why is he there?" Kou Shu raised an eyebrow.
Yuan Ming shook his head: "I only heard the people over there call him Young Master Yan," after a pause, Yuan Ming shook his head again, and said: "He didn't make a move that day, the man who originally fought with me wanted to kill me, but it was he who stopped me, and I was able to save my life." β
"Kou Yan," Kou Shu was stunned for a moment, and said, "Do you have a way to find him?" β
Yuan Ming was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said: "Originally, when Kou Yan and I grew up together in Dadu, I liked to practice swords in the mountains and forests behind Kou Mansion, but now Kou Yan's martial arts are far above me, and I don't know if he will go there." β
Kou Shu nodded, and then glanced at Yuan Ming deeply: "Yuan Ming, what my temper is, you know very well. I can tolerate your presumptuousness and mistakes, but I can tolerate your betrayal and cover-up. If this happens againβ"
"Yuan Ming knows that he is wrong-" lowered his head and exhaled deeply.
Pushing the door out, Kou Shu's voice sounded: "Is the emperor satisfied?" β
Song Jinyan stood with his back to him, and said lightly: "I have already asked people to go to the mountains and forests behind the Kou family to ambush, if that person appears, he will definitely not be able to escape." β
"Your Majesty," Kou Shu's voice had a hint of confusion: "Does the emperor really believe that Daddy is wronged?" β
"How?" Song Jinyan raised his eyebrows: "Does the queen think that General Kou deserves it?" β
Kou Shu shook her head and said, "The injury on Concubine Lan's body was injured by Daddy's Tianyun Palm, if Daddy didn't do anything, I'm afraid I can't believe it." β
Song Jinyan nodded: "Who is right and who is wrong, we can only judge when everything is clear, before that, what we have to do is to find the truth of the matter." Kou Yunwu's, Kou's family's, Lan Guifei's, Yanzhou's, the whole truth. Song Jinyan's eyes were slightly raised, looking into the distance, with a resolute and calm look in his eyes.
Kou Shu looked at Song Jinyan in a daze, and was stunned for a moment.
