Chapter 65: Farewell Bell

Zhu Yuanzhang commanded with a gloomy face: "You wait for the two of you to quickly bring the maid Cui'er in the house, and the public of your country has something to ask." ”

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang's voice fell, which the two guards listened to, they quickly responded yes, but before the voice was finished, he had already lost his trace.

There is no trace of stepping on the snow, and the gods and ghosts do not know, which is really terrifying.

Chu Liuyan unconsciously admired the light skills of the two guards, Chu Liuyan usually regarded himself very highly, although he knew that although his martial arts were not in the realm of a first-class master, he was quite self-satisfied with the light skills under his feet, and often thought that he was already alone in the world, and he was unparalleled in the past.

But seeing the two guards in such a ghostly way today, Chu Liuyan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

I am so proud of myself, but I am just a frog's opinion. As everyone knows, there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world.

The martial arts of the two guards under Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, were already beyond Chu Liuyan's expectations. Now I only saw the two guards sitting down with Zhu Yuanzhang, and the other guards did not show their skills, maybe there were other people with outstanding martial arts.

As soon as Chu Liuyan thought of this, he suddenly felt that martial arts were a good idea, and he was only a glimpse of the doorway, and he was far from being able to enter the hall. I couldn't tell the frustration in my heart, and I had my intuition that I had practiced martial arts since I was a child, and I had worked hard for a long time, and it seemed that it was quite difficult for martial arts to enter the realm and go further.

Could it be that his talent can only be like this, but from now on, he can't grow in the slightest. Chu Liuyan suddenly felt in his heart that martial arts seemed to be difficult for him to achieve.

Li Ningluo was even more shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that Zhu Yuanzhang of Wu Guogong would casually call out two Wu Guogong such terrible characters, and he didn't feel a little afraid in his heart.

Fortunately, General Zhang was thoughtful, and sent someone to the mansion to secretly help himself to do things. These people are doing things very secretively these days, and they should not be easy for people to notice.

Even if the spy sent by General Zhang to the mansion of Wu Guogong is discovered, he will not be implicated, and he can rest assured.

Li Ningluo's heart was relieved, and he felt that there would be no flaws in his actions these days, even if Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, was suspicious, he couldn't trace himself.

And Cui'er didn't have to worry, just now Li Ningluo followed, and had already used a very special technique to strangle Cui'er, and then threw herself into the well. The technique is unique, so it does not leave any marks on the epidermis. Even if someone finds Cui'er's body, they will only think that Cui'er saw that the housewife drank the tea she brought and was poisoned, and she couldn't defend herself for a while, so she committed suicide by throwing herself into a well.

Regarding Zhu Yuanzhang's sending people to search for Cui'er, Li Ningluo was not worried at all in his heart. It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, suddenly summoned two highly skilled guards, which was a big deal, and it hit Li Ningluo's heart heavily.

According to the information collected by General Zhang Dingbian, there was no mention that there were such skilled guards in the mansion of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, which was really a bit negligent.

Li Ningluo secretly complained in his heart that General Zhang Dingbian and those people under him were spying on the news, but after thinking about it, since these guards were protecting Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, it was obvious that they must be Zhu Yuanzhang's personal guards, and such forces would not be easily known. The most important thing at the moment is to inquire about how many of these guards there are, what their status is, and whether they can buy a few people as internal responses.

Otherwise, with these highly skilled guards around Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, if he wanted to send assassins to the mansion of Duke Wu to assassinate Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, would be a net of his own and no chance of winning.

Li Ningluo stared at Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu who had a gloomy face, not angry but mighty, and suddenly felt that this man was by no means easy to match, so hidden and powerful protection arranged by his side, if there was no today's incident, it would definitely not be able to make this kind of hidden force around Zhu Yuanzhang of Wu Guogong say it for himself.

Fortunately, there is this coincidence today, and I can get a glimpse of this matter, and I must be cautious in doing things in the future, and I must not let these guards find out.

Li Ningluo stopped thinking in his heart, and then said to Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, "Wu Guogong, Sister Ma has suffered such a catastrophe this time, I am afraid that someone will be framed secretly, so I must not let this person go." ”

Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, waved his hand at Li Ningluo and said: "Your sister Ma has always been generous to others, although she governs the family very strictly, but the maids and maids in the house are very fond of her, and I don't want someone to be so vicious and want to harm her." It's a lot to think about. ”

Li Ningluo smiled and said: "In my opinion, my sister is very strict in governing the family, and she must have offended a narrow-minded maid in the house, and took the opportunity to take revenge, so she poisoned the teapot." As long as you find Cui'er's maid and ask her who she met when she went to the kitchen to make tea today and when she came back from making tea, you can get a clue from it, and Cui'er's suspicion is not small. ”

"It makes sense, this matter still has to fall on Cui'er's maid." Zhu Yuanzhang twisted his beard, closed his eyes slightly and said.

Chu Liuyan had some objections in his heart, so he opened his mouth to Li Ningluo and retorted: "Although Cui'er and Mrs. Ma are the master and servant, they are actually sisters, Liuyan really can't imagine that Cui'er would do such a thing to Mrs. Ma." ”

Li Ningluo laughed coldly, and then said to Chu Liuyan with a sneer: "Miss Chu has a kind heart, so she naturally doesn't know the sinister feelings of people. However, as the saying goes, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and the thoughts of others are only clear in the hearts of others, and others are not roundworms, and they don't know what is in their hearts anyway. Although Cui'er is Mrs. Ma's servant, she may not necessarily have the intention of harming Mrs. Ma. ”

Chu Liuyan thought of the situation where Pingsu got along with Cui'er and Ma Xiuying, and really couldn't accept Li Ningluo's assertion, so he defended Cui'er and said: "Cui'er is not such a girl who murdered the master's mother, I think someone must have done something in the meantime, and Cui'er didn't notice it for a while before she fell into the trap." When Mrs. Ma was poisoned, wasn't Cui'er so frightened that she couldn't even keep the teapot in her hand and fell to the ground. ”

Li Ningluo smiled and said: "Even if the dark room is deceitful, in front of people, maybe it still looks like a spring breeze and a proud one." Although it is true that Cui'er has such a move, if this son has intentionally done it in his heart, Miss Chu has any flaws that can be seen. also knew that it was Cui'er who was in a panic for a while, and broke the teapot by mistake. ”

Chu Liuyan's Li Ningluo's words were sarcastic, and naturally he refused to show weakness, so he said-for-tat: "Sister Li's words are not right, although my sister is a few years older than my sister, although she may not be older than the accident, but if Cui'er is hypocritical, it is different inside and outside, and my sister can still see it." At that time, Cui'er's situation was clearly that she was shocked to see that Mrs. Ma's situation was wrong, she was flustered, and she was at a loss for a while, so she broke the teapot in her hand. My sister doesn't want to be a villain and spend the belly of a gentleman. ”

As soon as he heard Chu Liuyan denounce himself so bluntly, and vaguely sarcastically mocked that he was a young person, he was naturally unhappy. However, Li Ningluo also knew that in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, he should not behave too much about Chu Liuyan, and after thinking about it slightly, he pretended to be crying, and moved the lotus step lightly, Chu Chu pitifully walked by the side of Zhu Yuanzhang, Wu Guogong, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang with tears in his eyes: "Wu Guogong, Miss Chu didn't listen to my opinion at all, but instead taught Ning Luo a lesson, falsely accusing Ning Luo of being a villain, Wu Guogong, you have to call the shots for Ning Luo." ”

As he spoke, he made a move to wipe away his tears, but peeked at Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction between the palms of his hands.

Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect that the two women in front of him would actually make such a fuss, and his wife Ma Xiuying was still lying on the bed on the side, and he couldn't help but be upset for a while, and his chest seemed to be stuffed into a ball of pigs. The hairy general is extremely uncomfortable.

Li Ningluo saw Zhu Yuanzhang's poor expression, and thought that his actions had made Zhu Yuanzhang angry at Chu Liuyan's words, so he intensified his instigation: "Wu Guogong, I am your concubine, Chu Liuyan is just a small military advisor in your army, Chu Liuyan humiliated me so much, it is an offense to Wu Guogong, Wu Guogong, you can't sit idly by, you must get justice for Ningluo." Wu Guogong, you can't spare this slut who has committed the following crimes. ”

It's good not to say this, but I didn't expect that as soon as the word slut came out, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, and threw a big mouth on Li Ningluo's face with his backhand.

There was a "snap", crisp and loud, and the defenseless Li Ningluo was beaten to the ground, unable to say a word in a daze.

"Slut is also what you called, Chu Junshi is a strategist in our army, the people in the army and the people of Yingtian are respectful to her, and they dare not make any mistakes between words, but today you dare to call her a slut, such filthy words actually come from your mouth, it is really disappointing to me, I don't want to see you now, you immediately go back to your house." Wait until the national government has finished taking care of the affairs in the house, and I will teach you a good lesson in the evening. Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be very angry, and he didn't leave any room for Li Ningluo, and scolded Li Ningluo and commanded.

Li Ningluo didn't expect that Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu Guo, who was usually obedient to him, would be so abnormal, and he was shocked in his heart. However, Li Ningluo is also very discerning, knowing that Zhu Yuanzhang is so angry at the moment, if he speaks against him, it will not be beneficial to himself at all, the only thing he can do at the moment is to obey Zhu Yuanzhang's orders, go back to the room first, and wait until Zhu Yuanzhang's anger subsides, and try his best to show it in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, which can naturally save the situation.

With such a thought in his heart, Li Ningluo was not annoyed, so he said to Zhu Yuanzhang slightly: "Wu Guogong, Ningluo will retire first, please Wu Guogong don't be angry, Ningluo is also impulsive, not intentionally wanting to offend Miss Chu." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, and didn't even glance at Li Ningluo.

Li Ningluo understood that Zhu Yuanzhang still had a grudge against him at the moment, and he ignored what he had just said, and knew that if he continued to plead in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, I am afraid it would not be much better.

Therefore, Li Ningluo said to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yuanzhang: "If Wu Guogong doesn't believe in Ningluo, Ningluo can accompany Sister Chu here." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, heard Li Ningluo say this, and only then did he turn around and say to Li Ningluo: "If you really have this intention in your heart, the Chu military division is in front of you, you might as well go over and match the Chu military division now, but you must be the same in your heart, and you can't pretend to be hypocritical." Your duke is here, and you can't be delusional and want to deceive your duke's eyes. As long as you respectfully kowtow to Master Chu and accompany him, the Duke will no longer hold you accountable for today's mistakes in the future. Otherwise, no matter what you do in the future, your father will still make you like dung, and you will not want to be close. ”

Li Ningluo listened to the words of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu Guo, and couldn't help but secretly hate Zhu Yuanzhang in his heart, how to say that he was the concubine of Wu Guogong, and he was also half the master of Wu Guogong's mansion, and he actually let his wife and concubine bow to outsiders, wouldn't it damage his reputation.

Li Ningluo couldn't help but think of the situation when he designed to frame Xu Biyi that day, and General Zhang Dingbian tried to cooperate with himself in the mansion of Wu Guogong, and finally made Zhu Yuanzhang fall into the trap. Zhu Yuanzhang heard about the hookup between men and women in the house, and suspected that Xu Biyi, who was pregnant with Liujia, and Ye Wenqing, the actor, had hooked up with each other. Naturally, he was also suspicious of the child in Xu Biyi's belly, thinking that it was born of an affair between the actor Ye Wenqing and Xu Biyi, who did not abide by women's morals, so he beat Xu Biyi in a fit of anger. If Zhu Yuanzhang insisted on leaving Chu Liuyan and Xu Biyi, even if Chu Liuyan's martial arts skills were clever, Zhu Yuanzhang only had to let the guards who were always protecting him take action, even if Chu Liuyan's martial arts were doubled, there would be no chance to take Xu Biyi away from Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang.

It seems that Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu Guo, let Chu Liuyan take Xu Biyi away from him that day, but there was still something else hidden in the meantime.

However, this matter is quite difficult to think about, no matter what Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was at that time, Chu Liuyan suddenly appeared, and then rescued Xu Biyi, which is a fact that cannot be changed, and Zhu Yuanzhang did not say a word, and did not stop Chu Liuyan to take away the seriously injured Xu Biyi, which is also an irrefutable fact.

The facts are all there, obviously Zhu Yuanzhang still has another affection for Chu Liuyan, if it weren't for this, how could he let Chu Liuyan take Xu Biyi away from his eyes.

Thinking of this, Li Ningluo suddenly felt that he hadn't figured out this matter yet, so he easily mixed it in.

Now that he has become such a disgraced appearance, he is to blame, and he is no wonder to others. Li Ningluo secretly cursed Chu Liuyan in his heart, if it weren't for Chu Liuyan's-for-tat confrontation with him today, he couldn't help but want to teach her a lesson for a while, why was he slapped mercilessly by Wu Guogong, and he couldn't raise his head in front of Chu Liuyan at all.

I didn't expect Zhu Yuanzhang to really let himself go to Chu Liuyan and bow his head to Chu Liuyan to admit his mistakes, could it be that in the mind of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu Guo, he couldn't compare with Chu Liuyan at all.

If this is the case, these days, Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang has been very obedient to himself, how will he explain his extraordinary affection.

Li Ningluo suddenly felt a sense of confusion in his heart, not knowing whether he had played tricks on Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang these days, or Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang had made a good show in front of him, and he actually mistakenly thought that he had easily seized Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang and occupied the lonely heart of Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang.

Could it be that everything he did was wrong, could it be that Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu Guo, didn't pay attention to himself at all. Could it be that compared with this Chu Liuyan, who is not as young as himself and who is not moving himself, is he really just a pile of dung in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart that no one cares about.

is so unfortunate, Li Ningluo is unwilling, no matter how inferior he is, does he really have no status in the heart of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu.

She is a mole in people's hearts, and I, what do I have, a pile of dung, worthless, worthless, and not even worth letting Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang look back.

Li Ningluo looked at the back of Zhu Yuanzhang's head with some sadness, and found that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't look at her at all, but had already turned his head and accompanied Chu Liuyan for himself.

"Chu Junshi, the concubine doesn't understand the rules, and she has no manners at all, so she speaks ill of Chu Junshi, which is really the fault of the country's public discipline, and please don't blame Chu Junshi." Zhu Yuanzhang bowed his eyebrows to Chu Liuyan with some trepidation.

Chu Liuyan didn't care at all, but replied lightly: "Wu Guogong doesn't have to be so polite, in fact, what Sister Li said is not unreasonable, Chu Liuyan is just a strategist in the army, and he can't lead the troops to fight, so he can only retreat behind the scenes and come up with an idea for Wu Guogong, sometimes the idea is not very clever, and even just a chaotic idea, and it is not an indispensable person." Wu Guogong doesn't have to care, even if Chu Liuyan is not in the army to support Wu Guogong, there will be no problems at all. Sister Li just thought that Chu Liuyan was just an insignificant little person, and she was really not wrong. It can be regarded as an irrefutable fact. ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, heard Chu Liuyan's words, he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't be like this, Chu Junshi, the big plan in the army, still needs the support of Chu Junshi, the army is indispensable for a day, what the concubine just said is just a momentary annoyance, how can Chu Junshi take it seriously." You don't have to dwell on these words and laugh them off. ”

Saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang turned his face back, stretched his face and drank to Li Ningluo: "There are a lot of Master Chu Junshi, don't miss the old evil, you come and accompany Chu Junshi." ”

When Li Ningluo heard this, he was annoyed. However, the situation was forbidden, limited to Wu Guogong's orders, and he had to bow his head to Chu Liuyan and admit his mistake.
