Chapter 157: Back

It can be heard that Li Bin obviously suspected that they had so many guards here, whether they had other purposes, so he deliberately tested them, and only allowed San Lang to respond casually, but it was impossible to find fault with it.

Li Bin smiled and said, "This is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, the lower officials are all unaware, and they have forgotten that His Royal Highness the Prince of the World has a large number of them, and they don't care about the lower officials." ”

Xu Sanlang ignored Li Bin's explanation, and said, "Since Lord Li is here, these corpses will be handed over to Lord Li to deal with, if this kind of thing happens in the future, this prince can only personally send these corpses to Lord Li's mansion." ”

After speaking, Xu Sanlang turned around, no longer bothered Li Bin, and went upstairs.

Li Bin listened to Jiang Nan Shizi's threatening warning to himself, his eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the back of Jiang Nan Shizi's departure, and responded, "Your Royal Highness the Shizi can rest assured, the lower officials will do their best to investigate thoroughly." ”

After that, he beckoned the officers and soldiers and officials who came with him, and began to deal with the pile of bloody corpses of the black-clothed men in the hall.

Li Bin originally thought in his heart that there were only a few people in the Jiangnan family, and the people he was looking for were all powerful outlaws, and his plan would definitely succeed.

So after receiving the letter, in order to pretend, Li Bin brought a lot of people, and originally just planned to make a show, but he didn't expect to see such a picture, at this time Li Bin regretted it very much, regretted why he didn't decisively end this person at that time, but waited for your Lord Murong in the capital to give Xin'er, and finally delayed the best time to do it.

Once this assassination failed, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to carry out in the future.

Li Bin's eyes became more and more gloomy, and he impatiently beckoned his subordinates to clean up the corpse, and everyone only said that the governor was unhappy because someone was assassinating under his nose, and they didn't know that his displeasure came from the failure of the assassination.

It was too fast for people to clean up, and soon the hall of the inn was cleaned up, and Ah Yi took the guards on their side and kept guarding the hall until Li Bin cleaned up the body and left.

Cheng Xi saw Xu Sanlang coming in and asked suspiciously, "So fast?" ”

Xu Sanlang replied while passing over to Cheng Xi's side, "Leave the endgame to the yamen to clean up, let's go, go back and rest." ”

Seeing that Yu Zhaocai was still sitting here, Xu Sanlang continued, "Yu Gongzi also go back to rest, don't worry, I will arrange guards." ”

After speaking, Xu Saburo pulled Cheng Xi to stand up, intending to leave, lying on the soft couch Ge Shu, who was already unhappy, saw Xu Saburo come in and didn't even say hello to him, so he glared at him and said dissatisfiedly, "How can you be your brother, your brother was injured and assassinated, and you didn't say a word of concern." ”

Before Xu Saburo could answer, Cheng Xi turned his head to look at Ge Shu first, and then replied to him, "It's really naΓ―ve." ”

Ge Shu was so angry that Cheng Xi blew his beard and glared at him again, "And your little daughter-in-law, listen to what she says, it's just too hateful." ”

Xu Sanlang also turned his head and glanced at Ge Shu, the look in which Cheng Xi looked at him was exactly the same, and then replied to Ge Shu briefly, "She's right." ”

Ge Shu was almost planted from the soft couch by the two of them, and the two guards standing on the edge of the soft couch had a sympathetic look and a look of expression that you deserve, the eldest prince was right, their second son was really naΓ―ve, otherwise why would he always come up and find abuse.

Seeing that Xu Sanlang and Cheng Xi got up and were about to leave, Yu Zhaocai also stood up, glanced at Ge Shu with deep sympathy, but greeted Ge Shu politely, "Take care of your body." ”

After finishing speaking, Yu Zhaocai also followed to the door.

When he went out, Yu Zhaocai saw the guards at his door, and his heart was a lot more steady, so he greeted Xu Sanlang Cheng Xi and went back to the house.

Cheng Xi and Xu Sanlang also went back to their own room, Cheng Xi hadn't heard what was going on in the hall before, and he didn't dare to go out to peek, for fear of seeing any bloody pictures, so he asked curiously at this time, "What did Master Li say?" ”

Cheng Xi replied simply, "There is no fear, but don't worry, he doesn't dare to make any more moves for the time being." ”

Cheng Xi nodded, "That's good." ”

Xu Sanlang pulled Cheng Xi over to the bedside, "Sleep, it's still early before dawn." ”

Cheng Xi nodded, took off his clothes and lay down inside, there was still a smell of blood wafting in the air, Cheng Xi lay down and closed his eyes, he couldn't sleep for a while, he simply turned around and said to Xu Sanlang, who had just been lying down outside him, "What was the trap in the house before, and how was it triggered?" ”

Xu Saburo asked softly, "Curious about what these are for?" ”

Cheng Xi pouted in the darkness and responded, "Aren't I worried about my own safety and want to learn." ”

Xu Sanlang seemed to hear the small emotion in Cheng Xi's tone, stretched out his hand and gently patted Cheng Xi's back, and responded softly, "I'll give you a hidden weapon tomorrow, go to sleep quickly." ”

Cheng Xi, who was still a little sleepless, felt the light pat on his back, and fell asleep unconsciously.

The next day, Cheng Xi was awakened by a nightmare, she dreamed that she and Xu Sanlang were lying in a pool of blood, and the hundred-year-old was twisted by the collar of the back of a black-clothed man with a hideous face not far away, crying and shouting at them, and then the hideous black-clothed man's big knife slashed towards the neck of the hundred-year-old.

Just when the big knife was about to fall on the neck of the hundred-year-old, Cheng Xi suddenly sat up, feeling that he was shocked into a cold sweat.

It's rare that Xu Saburo hasn't gotten up yet, opened his eyes and looked at Cheng Xi who suddenly sat up, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

Cheng Xi reached out and touched his forehead, and responded, "It's a nightmare." ”

Xu Sanlang saw the frightened expression on Cheng Xi's face that had not had time to dissipate, and he also sat up, reached out and hugged Cheng Xi into his arms, gently patted Cheng Xi's back, and comforted him softly, "Don't be afraid, dreams are all fake, it may be that I saw something yesterday and was frightened to have a nightmare." ”

Cheng Xi took a deep breath and responded, "I'm fine." ”

Thinking about it, dreaming at night, Cheng Xi is not worried about the scene in the dream, probably because of yesterday's picture and worry, so he had such a dream.

Xu Sanlang felt that Cheng Xi in his arms had almost calmed down, so he let go of his hand, pulled Cheng Xi in his arms, looked down at her and said, "It's not early, are you hungry?" Let's get up and have breakfast. ”

Cheng Xi raised his head and looked at the light shining through the window, he was afraid that it was really not early, so he nodded.

While getting dressed, Cheng Xi looked at Xu Sanlang on the side and asked suspiciously, "Are you okay today?" "I actually slept with her.

Xu Saburo shook his head, "It's nothing to do these days, we can only stay in the inn." ”

Cheng Xi was already smart, and as soon as Xu Sanlang said it, Cheng Xi almost guessed, "That Lord Li sent someone to spy on us?" ”

Xu Sanlang nodded, "So if I want to wronged you these days, I can only stay in this inn, and I must not let them find out or inquire about the identity of you and Yu Gongzi, otherwise you will be in trouble in the future." ”

Cheng Xi nodded clearly, and then looked at Xu Sanlang again, "Is it true that your identity has always been in the dark?" ”

Xu Saburo nodded, "Sometimes it will take the place of Ge Shu's identity." ”

Cheng Xi pursed his lips, "Your father and mother are too much, they left you in this corner and ignored you before, and when you are useful, they threaten you to be your brother's stand-in, which is more excessive than your stepfather and stepmother." ”

Xu Sanlang's eyes pressed, and he responded, "The royal family is the most taboo twins, and it is better to throw one away than to send it to the heavens." ”

Cheng Xi's eyes widened when he heard this, how lucky it is to give birth to twins, how did it become a royal taboo, and what day do you want to get one to sacrifice? Sure enough, the feudal superstitions of this feudal society are simply terrible.

For these things, Xu Saburo didn't want to say much at all, so he only changed the topic and urged, "Aren't you hungry at this time?" Get dressed and get up and eat quickly. ”

It is only when facing Cheng Xi that Xu Sanlang will say so many words.

In the next few days, Xu Sanlang and them, including the guards, all stayed in the inn obediently, and basically rarely went out, Cheng Xi had Xu Sanlang accompany her, telling her about the places he has been going to in recent years, and the customs and customs of various places, or pulling Xu Sanlang to play chess with him, playing all kinds of small games to kill time, but he doesn't feel bored.

I was really bored, so I went to Ge Shu to fight, Ge Shu also found out, Cheng Xi talked to herself these days, the biggest pleasure was to blow his nose angrily and stare at him, and then she was happy, and gradually Ge Shu also began to adjust her mentality, try to stay calm, and not be angry with Cheng Xi.

Xu Sanlang has always kept Cheng Xi and Yu Zhaocai, mainly because he was worried that Li Bin and they would find out Yu Zhaocai Cheng Xi's identity, but in fact, Xu Sanlang thought too much, this Li Bin always thought that a few of them came from the capital with Ge Shu, and he didn't expect that some of them were actually from Anyang County, Yuncheng.

has been staying in the inn for four or five days, Ge Shu's injuries are basically healed, and Cheng Xi no longer deliberately stimulates Ge Shu to make Ge Shu angry, because Xu Sanlang told him that those trap traps and hidden weapons were all designed by Ge Shu, and it just so happened that Cheng Xi was very interested in his things, so he changed his previous attitude, and always pestered Ge Shu to let Ge Shu teach her, and Ge Shu was helpless to be entangled by her, so he had to pick some simple ones to teach her.

After staying in the inn for a few more days, a total of about eight or nine days, the housekeeper Wu came over and brought good news, but for Cheng Xi, it was not good news, because Xu Sanlang was leaving again, and she was going to go to the capital with Ge Shu, and she was going to be separated from Xu Saburo again.

Cheng Xi felt that she was really relying on Xu Sanlang more and more, when Xu Saburo left, she was not so sad, and she didn't understand why she relied more and more on Xu Saburo, only knowing that Xu Saburo seemed to have become the most important link in the world.

Sending Cheng Xi and Yu Zhaocai away, on the night when Steward Wu came, Cheng Xi didn't have a chance to say goodbye to Xu Sanlang, so the two guards assigned to her by Xu Sanlang were sent out of the city from a secret passage, and the secret passage exited, Xiong Daxiong Er had already driven Yu Zhaocai's carriage and waited there, and then the group rushed to Anyang County by night.

Along the way, Cheng Xi sat in the carriage, his mood was no longer anxious when he came, but it was heavier than when he came.
