Before going to bed, Xiao Wushen mysteriously brought in a person, I was wondering who would make Xiao Wu bring someone to my bedroom so late, and when I got dressed and came out, I instinctively gasped and whispered: "General, it's so late, why are you here?" ”

The general in my mouth is actually Xiao Yuan, that is, my father, but I'm not used to being someone else's son, so I call him like that.

Xiao Yuan's face was gloomy, and after entering the door, he asked Xiao Wu and one of his guards to go out to guard, and I sat down after they left, Xiao Yuan looked at me, and the expression on his face was a little complicated.

"General, it's so late"

"Han'er." Xiao Yuan interrupted me.

The surrounding air instantly froze, Xu is the great general has been stationed on the frontier all the year round, and in addition to the military power in his hands, every word is related to the fate of the imperial court, so every word that comes out of his mouth weighs like a thousand catties, and even the people who listen to him feel that everything around him has become very depressed.

I poured a cup of tea and handed it over, "General, is there something embarrassing to you from the imperial court?" ”

As soon as my words came out, Xiao Yuan seemed to understand, and said: "You are right, just now Gonggong Min came to deliver the decree, announcing that you and my father and son will immediately go to Xuanming Hall to meet you." ”

I said "oh", my heart said that I just want to see the emperor, what is there to be nervous about, although I thought so, but I still pretended not to know, and asked: "The emperor summoned us late at night, could it be that there was an accident at the border pass again?" ”

Xiao Yuan patted me on the shoulder with one hand, and said earnestly: "Han'er, you have been smart and studious since you were a child, but unfortunately you are a concubine. It's not my Xiao family's son-in-law, that's because of this. I will carry you to Jinzhu when you turn one year old, and let you become a veritable second son in this general's mansion. You should also know what your Father has expected of you over the years. ”

I said in my heart that I know a ghost, but I can also guess that after being a general, the best way out is to follow my father in the army, and rely on his military exploits to lay a place for himself in the court, of course, in addition to family protection, I also have to rely on my own real ability. The so-called tree is a big move, not to mention a concubine, Xiao Yuan's careful cultivation will inevitably make some people hold grudges, so after I saw Xiao Yuan's extremely ugly expression, I could only smile bitterly in my heart, because this second son of the Xiao family may be in big trouble tonight.

Xiao Yuan saw that I kept my head down and didn't speak, so he asked, "Han'er, did you hear any wind?" ”

I pinched the teacup, my thumb and forefinger white. He whispered: "The child has not heard anything, can it be said that something is really wrong?" ”

Xiao Yuan didn't speak, just stood up silently. After thinking for a moment, he sat down and looked into my eyes, and there was a very terrible shock in his eyes. I've seen this kind of look once before, that is, on the Mengshan Mountain Road, Jiang Yuan shot and killed those guys who quit without permission.

"The marriage of the Murong family. And Murong Qing" Xiao Yuan didn't continue halfway through his words, but looked at me meaningfully.

A sense of foreboding surged into my heart. I don't know why my memory has these fragments, but I am sure that these things are not of my imagination, but they really exist in my subconscious.

I put down the teacup and thought of the Murong family that Xiao Yuan said, a terrible thought suddenly flashed in my mind, thinking in my heart, but I said, "Has Lord Murong arrived in Chang'an City?" ”

Xiao Yuan's expression was gloomy, he closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, I saw tears in the corners of his eyes, so he said, "If the general has something to say, you might as well say it directly." ”

As soon as I finished saying this, I heard a faint movement from outside the door, followed by a tragic collision of swords. In the shadow of the sword and sword, Xiao Wuyi rushed in with blood, and I immediately protected him and dragged him into the room, and at this time, there was already a mess outside.

Xiao Yuan was the head of the family in the end, and he was naturally angry when he saw this, he stood at the door and yelled to stop, and then knocked down the two black-clothed guards with his own hands, and at the moment when the two guards were in the end, Xiao Yuan's left hand grabbed the third one, but this person was not killed by Xiao Yuan, but was grabbed by him in the room.

There was silence outside the door, and I changed my clothes as quickly as I could, and I had a sword by my side, while Xiao Yuan was interrogating the man in black who he had caught.

I listened to a few words on the side and immediately knew that I was really in trouble, because the prince was dead.

It stands to reason that the prince lives in the north garden of the palace, where there are 30,000 forbidden troops guarding day and night, and there are royal guards to protect him.

It is precisely because of this that the person who killed the prince must be someone he is very familiar with, so familiar that the secret guards around him are exempt from inspection.

The man in black who was kneeling on the ground looked at me, suddenly broke free from Xiao Yuan's control, came to him in a flash, grabbed me and jumped out of the window to escape, however, he didn't really escape with me, but took me to a secret place, which was a torture room.

The three walls were covered with various torture instruments, and there was a large water tank in the corner next to it, and the water in it was on the edge of the tank, and the dark red liquid showed the chill of the forest.

In the middle of the room, on the seat was a young man about twenty years old, and next to him stood two people, one was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, and the other was a feminine and ruthless palace man.

"Get on your knees."

Sure enough, it's a sissy.

A hero doesn't suffer a loss in front of him, you let me kneel, okay, I kneel down, in the illusion, I want to save my life at any cost, and then find a way to defeat my own demons, crack the illusion of the entrance, and return to my world.

The young man on the seat looked at me, and the jade he was playing with in his hand instantly took off his hand and fell heavily in front of me, and the jade shattered into seven or eight pieces the moment he landed.

"General Xiao, we're meeting again."

That man seemed to have some relationship with the second son of the General's Mansion, and I became even more flustered when I thought of this, because my intuition told me that this origin was not a good thing.

Sure enough, I didn't say a word, and I was put on a stick, but fortunately, the guards who executed seemed to be very friendly to the second son, and they behaved very the surface, but in fact they were perfunctory.

But even if someone secretly helps, but the face has to be passable, so the first few strokes are real, and I only feel the pain in my hand joints.

He sat paralyzed on the ground without saying a word, and at this time, the young man who had been standing next to him suddenly said to the person in the seat: "Third brother, let's act in private like this, in case our father knows about it, it will be terrible." ”

It turned out to be Liu Yu, the third prince born to Concubine Shu.

Liu Yu smiled wickedly, "Eighth Emperor brother, don't worry, in half an hour, we will take him to see our father, when the time comes, don't say it's him, even Xiao Yuan, an old thing, will suffer." ”

Listening to the tone in his words, it seemed that he hated Xiao Yuan very much, and even, it was the entire Xiao family.

I laughed lightly and said, "His Royal Highness used his secret guards to break into the General's Mansion at night, kidnapped me here and lynched me, if this matter reaches the ears of the emperor, I am afraid that you will have to thoroughly investigate Your Third Highness before interrogating me." ”

Actually, anyone with a little IQ can hear it, what I said is obviously nonsense plus intimidation and intimidation, and the third highness above actually showed a little panic after hearing it, which surprised me a little.

The Eighth Prince asked the guards to untie me, and personally walked down and squatted beside me, saying: "We know that the death of the crown prince has nothing to do with you, but your jade pendant and military talisman were found at the scene, although my father was angry, but he did not arrest you immediately, but gave your father, General Xiao two hours to interrogate you personally, because he always felt that you would not be the one who assassinated the prince." ”

I listened and said, "Go on." ”

The Eighth Prince continued: "We have found that from the time you were injured to the present, we have seen a total of seventeen people, and among these seventeen people, two of them are suspicious, and one of them is the first time you have seen them. ”

I sneered, and said in my heart that these two stinky boys who had not dried up were still quite interesting, and they could actually grasp my information perfectly, but because of this, I felt that my heart was steady, because they were secretly monitoring me like this, and they must know that the death of the prince had nothing to do with me, (to be continued.) )
