205.Spies (4)
At this moment, Ah Ping suddenly said, "This person is still here." β
Zhu Di then raised his voice and ordered: "Pass the order, everyone present is not allowed to leave without permission, and if there is a violator, they will be punished and killed." β
Although everyone was shocked, this order was immediately carried out, and soon everything was strictly guarded from inside and outside the door, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
It only took a moment of thought to understand the meaning of Ah Ping's words. Zhu Di was assassinated, and Mu Bing happened to bump into it when he came back at night, but he didn't find any trace of the assassin, the only possibility is that this person hid in a certain room.
I subconsciously went around and asked, who among these people would be assassinating Zhu Di in the middle of the night? Before, the city guard poisoned me because of the order of the Northern Yuan spies, and Qing'an was just a gun target, and it was later judged to be Yan Qi, but now that he is gone, who is this person who did it? Or, in fact, Yan Qi is not a spy at all, but someone else?
As I was meditating, I heard Zhu Di speak: "When I noticed something unusual around me, I only had time to avoid the vital parts, judging from the outline, I should be thin and medium-sized." β
As soon as the words fell, several burly men suddenly softened, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and several of them were excluded.
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Di said: "What stabbed me was a short blade, and the hand holding the handle of the knife was not big. β
Everyone subconsciously looked down at their hands, but instead of looking down, I looked around again and noticed that some people became relaxed when they saw their big palms. And only a few of them did not bow their heads, Uncle Mu was one of them, Mu Bing did not, and the green lotus standing in the back row, his expression was ignorant, and he probably didn't react to what happened.
Turning his eyes to Ah Ping's gaze, he found that he, like me, was secretly observing everyone's reactions, and his eyes met for a moment before he retracted and asked Zhu Di, "Uncle Wang, do you remember that assassin has other characteristics?" β
Zhu Di thought for a while and said, "The assassin punched me in the right shoulder, and if nothing else, it should have been injured." β
Ah Ping glanced at Uncle Mu when he heard this, and Uncle Mu immediately understood and ordered: "All the brocade guards should remove their shirts and expose their right shoulders." The Jinyi guards were very obedient to Uncle Mu's words, and they started to undress without saying a word. Zhu Gaoxu was standing in the middle of the field, but suddenly nervously ran back and stretched out his hand to blindfold me, but I avoided it and opened it. Ah Ping is there, so it's no wonder that this move doesn't cause him to be vinegared.
I turned my back slightly, avoiding the embarrassing undressing scene.
And here Zhu Neng also shouted at the generals to tear off their clothes and expose their shoulders to check, I had to avoid turning to the other side again, but I heard someone behind me asking: "Why didn't he take off his clothes and check?" β
Fortunately, Zhu Gaoxu immediately blocked back: "You take off yours, what do you do with such a wide range?" β
The other party's voice became quieter, but he was still muttering: "Didn't you take off your coat?" Zhu Gaoxu deliberately drove away impatiently: "Go and go, just take care of yourself, what do you do with so many others." He pushed all the men close to me away before poking his elbow and whispering, "Eh, this is not good for you." β
And he said, "I have eyes to see and ears to hear." Annoyed by Ah Ping and Zhu Di, why did they check the assassin and find out that they wanted everyone to take off their clothes? However, with Zhu Gaoxu by his side, no one finally came to squeeze me again, and I don't know if anyone with an injury to his right shoulder was detected. While he was meditating, he suddenly heard a voice asking, "Why doesn't he take off his clothes?" β
My heart jumped, thinking that I was talking about it, and I was waiting for Zhu Gaoxu to block the words for me again, because the person who listened to the voice of the questioner seemed to be Zhu Neng, and they had a good relationship, so they might be able to cope with the past. But after waiting for a while, I found that the atmosphere was not right, the space was quiet and a little weird, and when I turned my head slowly, my eyes swept around and there were shirtless men, which was already inevitable.
Obviously, the question was not directed at me, because everyone's eyes, including Ah Ping, did not fall on me, but at a certain place directly opposite me. It was the only green lotus present who didn't tear off his clothes and show his shoulders as I normally would, and I knew why, but most of the people present didn't know. All eyes were shot at the green lotus, not to mention her, even if it was me, I would feel uncomfortable, and she was also a wooden person, and at this time, the obvious panic in her eyes was on the surface.
I have a hunch in my heart that I may not be able to hide the identity of a woman in this case, including me, I am not worried that someone will force me to take off my clothes in public and be tested, let alone Ah Ping, even Zhu Di will not agree, as long as they don't approve, no one will dare.
I'm worried that once my identity as a woman with Green Lotus is revealed, it will have an impact on Ah Ping's reputation. The military camp is a man's world, and women are not allowed to set foot in this field, even if Ah Ping is the emperor's grandson, even if he is the deputy marshal of the whole army, he will be secretly said to go out to march and fight with women, and regard war as child's play, then the prestige established over this time will be swept away, and everything that has been worked hard will be in vain.
Thinking of this, I no longer hesitated, took a deep breath and raised my voice and said, "I'll check on her." He didn't look at the others, but stared at the two people sitting in the top position, and earnestly asked, "Can I go to the side room to check on her?" β
Zhu Di's eyes flashed, this was the first time he looked at me since he was injured, and after a moment's pause, he nodded: "Yes." "Needless to say, even on this occasion, he would not refuse my request.
So I walked over to the green lotus, grabbed her arm and walked to the side door, it was impossible to ignore it, but I could only let the eyes that were on us burn behind my back. This is no way, others will have doubts, but Zhu Di and Ah Ping both agreed that we would go to the side house for inspection, so no one dared to object.
As soon as I entered the door, I closed the door first, and the green lotus called me nervously: "Master." I patted her on the shoulder soothingly, "It's okay, you just have to give me a look except for my coat......" My words fell suddenly, because I saw the pain that flashed on the face of the green lotus and tried to hide it.
His eyes fell on his hand, and the shoulder of the green lotus that he had just patted was the right shoulder.
Something flashed through my mind, and my eyes narrowed a little and whispered, "Green Lotus." She didn't answer me as usual, and even the look of ignorance faded from her face, and her expressionless eyes were cold, and for a moment I felt a chill.
Instinctively, he took a step back, reacted and immediately turned around to run, and at the same time opened his mouth to shout, but a pain in his neck quickly spread from one point, his voice was stuck in his throat, and his body was gradually losing consciousness......
The last reaction I could make was to look away and see a silver needle between the fingers of a not-fair-skinned and not delicate enough skin, and the tip of the needle pierced into my neck.
I thought that the moment I closed my eyes, my consciousness would be annihilated, but I found that there was still a little bit of consciousness left, and I could feel my body hanging down and being supported by the green lotus instead of falling directly to the ground. At this time, I will no longer be naΓ―ve to think that she is afraid that I will fall in pain, but the sound of falling on the ground will attract attention from the outside, and others may not be able to hear it, but there are a lot of Jinyi guards and masters like Uncle Mu, and the sensitivity is extraordinary.
After only a moment of silence, the green lotus slowed down and took me in a certain direction, and said that there was no window in this side room, and she couldn't take me away, at most she hid me somewhere. There are no cabinets in this side room, and there are no extra furnishings except for tables and chairs. First of all, Ah Ping couldn't have left me alone in the house.
But after a while, I felt like I was being pushed into a certain space, and what was even stranger was that she also got in, and even though my sense of direction disappeared at this time, I could still find myself being dragged a few beats slower, and I was shocked, there is another passage in this room?!
Originally, I was still a little determined, thinking that Green Lotus would not be able to escape from this city guard mansion that had obviously laid a net of heaven and earth no matter what, at most I was in danger again, who would have thought that people in ancient times had the habit of digging secret passages at home. And I can only be full of despair and powerless to let myself be taken away, if Ah Ping knows that I am getting farther and farther away at this time, will it hurt my heart?
"Xu Lan, don't blame me." Green Lotus suddenly leaned into my ear and spoke, she said: "I know that you can hear it, and the silver needle used on you is just an anesthetic, so that you will not lose your mind completely, I have no choice but to make this decision." Taking you away today is believed to be bound to cause some turmoil, and Zhu Di was also seriously injured, so it can be used as a cache for our country. β
She actually knew that I was still conscious, and that she was explaining this to me? She is not from the Ming Dynasty? Could it be that Green Lotus is the real spy of the Northern Yuan?
As soon as Nian turned here, he felt that the figure of the green lotus was stunned, and the movement of dragging me away also stopped. I didn't know what was going on, but I could clearly feel the muscles of Midori Lotus' whole body tense, even more nervous than when he had carefully dragged me away just now.
Suddenly I understood why Green Lotus was like this, because I heard a sigh in the space, not from me or her, from a third person. Who did she meet? The point is how not to speak? After being stunned for a while, I heard Lu He ask word by word: "Why are you here?" β
"Where do you think I'll be?" Even I was shocked when I was in a numb and drowsy voice......
