Gu Changming took Brother Xiaomin out, and the two were speechless all the way. Brother Xiaomin couldn't help it after all, and asked in a low voice, "Will you kill me?" ”
"You just said that whether it is success or failure, you and your mother will not leave trouble for the princess, regret it?" Gu Changming stopped and didn't turn his head to look at him.
"To say that you are willing to die without any hesitation is not self-deception." Brother Xiaomin's voice trembled, he was not a bold person, but because of his mother's wishes, he acted in danger for the third princess.
"The third princess is kind to your family." Gu Changming looked directly into his eyes, "The matter has come to this, what's the use of asking for someone else's life?" ”
"My father was seriously ill seven years ago, and the day was not safe, but the third princess took out her private savings and handed them over to her mother to take home, and asked the best doctor to treat them, so that she turned the corner. So far, his body is strong, and it is no problem to say that he can live for another ten or twenty years. Brother Xiaomin smiled bitterly, "The third princess lied to you just now, I am not the only son in the family, and there are two older brothers above." My mother usually treats me best, how can I bear to refuse her old man's request. ”
"The post station officials are also inseparable, you'd better not try to escape, and we'll talk about the rest later." Gu Changming took the people to the firewood room behind the post station, but the chain did not fall, and he turned around and went back.
The third princess over there still refused to speak, and sat with Pei Yonglun staring wide-eyed. Pei Yonglun knew that the force of the hand just now was too great, and he saw blood, and he was afraid that this princess was scared.
And what the third princess thought was that she was such a barbarian, there was no room for negotiation, so she had to wait for Gu Changming to come back.
The more Pei Yonglun thought about it, the more embarrassed he became, and saw Liu Zhuxue walking out on one side, as if he had seen a life-saving straw, and just wanted to say hello and let him go out to see how Gu Changming had walked for a while and didn't come back.
As soon as his mouth opened, a sharp wind pierced straight from the back of his head, Liu Zhuxue didn't even have time to say the word careful, and subconsciously threw the third princess to the ground, and the short arrow grazed Pei Yonglun's ear and pierced into the wall behind, the force was too great, and the tail feathers left outside were only more than an inch, still trembling.
Pei Yonglun was afraid that the opponent would miss the blow and have a back move, so he signaled Liu Zhuxue not to get up first. He followed the direction of the short arrow to the window, and the window paper was shot through a small hole. His hands pressed against the two windows, and he took a deep breath before daring to push them open. If a second short arrow sneaks up again, he will be a live target, and he will not be able to escape.
And outside the window, it was so open that there was not even a single figure. Pei Yonglun didn't care about safety, so he stuck his head out, wanting to see if there was a commanding height on the other side that could be shot, but he still didn't find anything.
"What's wrong?" Gu Changming pushed the door in, his eyes were solemn, and the first thing he looked at was the short arrow, "The third princess is fine." ”
Liu Zhuxue heard his voice and was slightly relieved: "The third princess is not injured. When she turned around and looked over, she saw a bloody mark from Pei Yonglun's ear to her neck, "Master Pei is injured." ”
Gu Changming hurriedly walked over, first checked whether the wound was poisoned, and only when he saw the blood was beautiful did he let him wipe the blood first. Pei Yonglun pointed out the window blankly and asked, "There's nothing outside, where did the short arrow come from?" ”
"There are many ways to do this." Gu Changming pulled him over first, "There is only one move, no matter if you hit or not, you won't make another move." ”
Pei Yonglun listened to what he meant, and obviously knew the mechanism: "You should tell me quickly, what is going on!" ”
"The safety of the third princess is the most important thing." Gu Changming hated him no matter how important it was, "Have you talked to the third princess, she is ready to continue to go north, or still wants to escape?" ”
"We didn't say anything." Pei Yonglun spread his hands helplessly, it was not that he was passive, the third princess had no intention of communicating with him at all, but she couldn't stick it with her cheekiness.
"I'm fine, so many people are afraid of me dying, I don't want to die." The third princess puffed up, she was not stupid, and the short arrow was obviously to kill her. Originally, I thought that someone was going to destroy the harmony in order to deter her, but now I really believe it. If it hadn't been for the maid sent by her father just now who knocked her down in time, she would have been seriously injured if she didn't die at this time.
Although it is a post station, it is still remote, and if you are seriously injured, you can only wait for death. The third princess's temperament is soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, which can be seen from the way she planned her escape. She was equally curious about how this ownerless short arrow was shot.
"Master Changming, tell me how the person who wants to kill me managed to shoot a short arrow into the house?" The third princess looked at the window intentionally or unintentionally, and her heart palpitated.
"The bow and crossbow are tied to the edge of the window with a thin thread, and the string is drawn, and when the time is right, the thin thread is cut, and a short arrow is shot, and the bow and crossbow falls to the bottom of the tower and is picked up by the waiting man, which is equivalent to no trace." Gu Changming saw that Pei Yonglun still didn't believe it, so he pulled the person back to the window, pressed his head and pushed it out, "Raise your head and take a good look, there will be marks on the window frame." ”
The third princess didn't like Pei Yonglun's personality, and when she saw that he was reprimanded by Gu Changming, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "What Changming Gongzi said is very good, I believe it." It's just that I don't understand, how can outsiders shoot short arrows at me accurately when they can't see what is going on in the house? ”
Gu Changming didn't answer immediately, showing an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. Suddenly, there was a figure beside the third princess, wanting to rush out of the door under everyone's noses.
said that it was too late, Gu Changming was still talking in front of the third princess a moment ago, and in a blink of an eye, he had already arrived at the door, just intercepting the person, and the little fox's tail was really fast.
"Hongyin, it's you!" When the third princess looked at this scene, what else did she understand, "I have always been kind to you, you want to take my life?" ”
Hongyin panicked, not knowing whether to deny it or cry first. She regretted that she shouldn't have been unable to hold her breath, and listened to what Gu Changming said, and she was in a mess. If she doesn't run, who will doubt her?
However, she was weak in being a thief, she first saw that the third princess was missing, and she was still secretly happy, and she didn't have to take action in person, she was also able to complete the task. Unexpectedly, the third princess was quickly found, and it seemed that her mind was shaken and she wanted to insist on going north and making peace.
Someone happened to be in contact with her, indicating that the action should be advanced, and the envoys of the Liao State were already suspicious, at this time, if the third princess died in the post station on the border of the Great Song Dynasty for no reason, the family team could not escape, and it could also cause the anger of the Great Liao Emperor.
Hongyin trembled and waited for the signal from the other party, always paying attention to the actions of the third princess. If the third princess always stayed in the inner room, the mechanism of the window was useless, and finally waited for the third princess to take the initiative to come out, and Hongyin secretly cut the thin rope used by the mechanism, thinking that she could come without knowing it.
The third princess is fine at all, Gu Changming saw through the mechanism as soon as she came, and the people in this upper room were suspicious, maybe she had a chance to escape first.
Gu Changming pressed step by step, telling the key points of the organ in front of everyone, waiting for someone to be seen through, and he couldn't hold his breath and show his feet.
"You also discovered the disappearance of the third princess first, but the time when you came to Ming was more than two hours later than when you first found out." Gu Changming looked at him, you don't have to ask me how I know, "I originally thought it was the master-servant relationship, you are the same as the son of the nurse, and you secretly want to help the third princess and let her escape smoothly." The purpose seems to be the same, but in fact, you think that the farther the third princess escapes, the better it will be for your plan. ”
"Who asked you to kill me, which one in the palace is it!" The third princess Su Ri took a fancy to Hongyin the most in addition to the nursing mother, and her father sent a maid over, although she was conscientious, she still turned a blind eye.
didn't take it seriously and saved her life, but those who seemed to be relatives wanted her to die!
Hongyin's face became more and more pale, and she snorted: "Princess, how good you should be if you run far away, and how good it should be if you don't come back." ”
"Don't worry, princess, she doesn't want to say, we have dozens of ways to get her to speak." Pei Yonglun had previously done something to Brother Xiaomin, which made the third princess extremely dissatisfied. Now that a traitor is dealt with, the third princess should approve of it.
"No, princess, I don't go with them. They have killed the nurse's son, and they will kill me. They are the bad guys, and they want to kill everyone around the princess. Hongyin was so nervous that she began to babble nonsense, "There is no one around the princess, so she can only let them rub and pinch her." ”
The third princess looked at Hongyin expressionlessly: "So, I would be stupid enough to leave you to take my life." Do you think so? ”
"Princess, it's okay for you to run away, I don't really want to kill." Hongyin wanted to pull the corner of the third princess's skirt, but she directly avoided it, as if her hands were highly poisonous, and she would die if she was contaminated.
Seeing that the third princess had no objections, Pei Yonglun came over and grabbed Hongyin's shoulder: "Don't mention that little brother Min, he is alive and well." You are a felony, what are his deeds? ”
As soon as the third princess heard this, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, Brother Xiaomin was fine, they didn't do anything to Brother Xiaomin. As long as he is alive, she will definitely find a way to save his birth.
Hongyin's face was desperate, Pei Yonglun's hands were very strong, and it was not something she could break free at all. She closed her eyes and licked her tongue into a small piece of silver foil wrapped behind her teeth.
Even Pei Yonglun didn't react, Gu Changming's five fingers clasped Hongyin's jaw, and twisted slightly, dislocating his jaw, making him lose his strength: "If she wants to take poison and commit suicide, you'd better find a capable cronie to watch her out." ”
Pei Yonglun was so angry that he finally caught the traitor, and he actually wanted to die. However, his subordinates are the same as him, it is okay to fight, it is okay to bleed, and if you really have to play with your brains, I am afraid that you can't compare with these people who have been in the palace all year round.
So, he looked at Gu Changming with an embarrassed expression: "The girl who is with you, I think she is very good at talking, can you borrow one?" ”
Gu Changming immediately realized that Pei Yonglun wanted to borrow the little phoenix: "Master Pei can't handle it, where does she get the courage and ability of a young woman." ”
"Don't you have what it takes to be by your side?" Pei Yonglun completely lowered his attitude, and almost made a negotiated request, "If you ask the person behind the scenes, all the credit will be yours." If anything goes wrong, it's all mine! After saying that, he slapped his chest with a thump.
The third princess smiled from the side and said, "In that case, what else do you want Master Pei to do?" ”
"Thoroughly investigate the entire family send-off team, and we can't let go of a suspicious person. A maid can't make so many twists and turns, and the party must still be around, and I think I'm better at doing these things. Pei Yonglun naturally didn't want to be looked down upon by the third princess, "The third princess can rest assured, if you catch all the traitors, the past of the third princess can be written off." ”
This sentence is the key to what the third princess wants to hear, and sure enough, her spirit is up: "Is this true?" ”
"Absolutely." Pei Yonglun watched Gu Changming take Hongyin away again, leaned over to the third princess and whispered, "When the time comes, no matter who asks, I only say that the period of time when the third princess disappeared was deliberately set up, and in order to ensure the safety of the third princess in the future, I will not hesitate to make a show." ”
