。 With a bang, it was like something heavy had been smashed. Looking at the expression on Yan Qi's face from anger to despair, I couldn't help but feel sad, although I didn't communicate with Ah Ping about this matter, but when I deduced that there was a spy around me that day, the only person I could think of was Yan Qi, only he had hatred, and only he had this motive.

Yan Qi lowered his head, and his speech became weak: "Then are you going to kill me now?" ”

Ah Ping was facing away from me, I couldn't see his expression, I could judge from his undulating body that he was very emotional at this time, I was afraid that he would really be angry and gave an order, and hurriedly called: "Ah Ping, you come first." ”

Ah Ping paused, turned to look at me, his eyes were gloomy, and I shook my head at him. If he really gave Yan Qi a killing order today, he would regret it one day. Even if Yan Qi really had the intention to provoke trouble to comfort the souls of his Hu family, it didn't happen after all, and I came back from the ghost gate.

I only heard Ah Ping say in a cold and low tone: "You go, don't let me see you again." ”

My heart was wide, he still couldn't bear Yan Qi in the end, and let him live. And Yan Qi laughed miserably after hearing this, his smile was more ugly than crying, he suddenly knelt down at Ah Ping's feet and kowtowed three times in a row, each head was extremely loud, and when he raised his head again, his forehead was already broken and bleeding, he looked at the front and said word by word: "Childe, this is the last three heads that Xiao Qi kowtowed to you, you take care of it from now on." ”

After saying that, he got up and opened the door without dragging his feet and left, without looking back once.

I stare at Ping's back, and I feel a little worried. Yan Qi was rescued by him, and he paid his sincerity in the process of settling down to becoming a confidant, but not only did he not get his sincerity in return, but he stabbed him in the back, and this pain must be something only he can understand. But I think letting Yan Qi go is actually the best choice, killing only brings pain, and Ah Ping will regret it.

Yan Qi's departure was like a windless catkins on the surface, but I knew that a deep mark had been stabbed in Ah Ping's heart. He became less talkative and no longer smiled, and I could not comfort him, but secretly worried about him.

And on the night of Yan Qi's departure, Changning came to ask me and asked him where Brother Qi went? I didn't want to lie to the children, I just said that Yan Qi went to a far away place and would not come back. Changning was very disappointed, he had been following Yan Qi since he came to me, and I was suddenly stunned when I watched him walk out dejectedly, if hatred really fascinated a person's mind, would he teach others to come out of hatred?

Changning, long-term tranquility......

In the dead of night, the slightest movement will be amplified, not to mention that Zhu Gaoxu's loud voice is so noisy that it wakes everyone up. Ah Ping first put on his coat and went out to inspect, as soon as the door opened, I heard the sound of fighting in the courtyard, I couldn't help but wonder who he was fighting with, or it was in the middle of the night.

When I got dressed and walked to the door, I saw that the person who was fighting with Zhu Gaoxu turned out to be one of the Jinyi guards, and the two of them had the same martial arts. There were people in all the surrounding houses who came out to watch, and they didn't know what was going on.

But when Zhu Di came out of the house, everyone was taken aback, and the obvious red blood stains on the white middle coat he was wearing were particularly dazzling. Immediately, someone ran up to the front and asked urgently: "Marshal, are you injured?" Zhu Di didn't respond, his eyes were fixed on the battle between the fields, his face was cold, I couldn't help but wonder inexplicably, what happened?

Suddenly, Zhu Di raised his voice and shouted: "Stop!" Zhu Gaoxu was playing hard, and was stunned when he heard this, "Father, are you sure you want me to stop?" The words were asking, but his hands still didn't stop, and the brocade guards didn't stop either.

"Mu Bing, stop." Ah Ping gave a soft command.

Immediately, there was a flash in front of him, Uncle Mu had already jumped into the center of the field, and he didn't see how he made a move, and he saw that the two were separated in an instant. Jin Yiwei did not belong to military control and was directly subordinate to Ah Ping's subordinates, so as soon as he opened his mouth, Uncle Mu had to order to stop the fight. Seeing that Zhu Gaoxu staggered back two steps, he was stunned for a while, as if he hadn't figured out how he was dismissed.

However, when he heard Zhu Di's deep call, he still ran over quickly, and asked anxiously: "Father, does your injury matter?" But listening to Zhu Di's frowning inquiry: "What's the matter with you?" ”

We were all a little confused, and the conversation between them was completely confusing. Then I heard Zhu Gaoxu say: "I ran out when I heard that something was happening on your side, he was arrested by me, and I wanted to take down the person first and then interrogate, but I didn't think that his martial arts were not weak." ”

I have some impressions of this brocade guard, he was one of the several brocade guards who were sent to Ginkgo Village. Although Zhu Gaoxu's words are clueless, you can roughly understand what is going on by contacting the injury on Zhu Di's chest.

The situation became stalemate for a while, and the generals of the Yan army showed anger on their faces, and even more impulsive people wanted to come forward to grab Mu Bing. Uncle Mu stood in the center of the field, kowtowed to Zhu Di with a solemn face and said, "Lord Wang, there must be a secret in this, can you please ask your subordinates to ask the ins and outs of the whole matter clearly before making a decision?" ”

Someone questioned Uncle Mu's identity: "

How old are you, let you talk here? ”

Uncle Mu replied without being humble or arrogant: "Jinyi Wei leads Mu Xiu." ”

The name of Jinyiwei must be known to everyone, and after Uncle Mu's words fell, the person who questioned it shut up. Ah Ping took a step forward and suggested to Zhu Di: "Uncle Wang, you might as well let the military doctor deal with the wound first." ”

This remark reminded everyone, and someone immediately called for Doctor Hu to come, and let Zhu Di sit down in the front hall. When Dr. Hu went to untie Zhu Di's clothes, Ah Ping subconsciously blocked my sight, and I didn't move, knowing that I should avoid suspicion at this time, but I didn't want to sit in the room and wait for the news to be delivered. When Ah Ping got out of the way again, Zhu Di had already put on his clothes back and sat in the chair with a slightly pale face, which should be caused by excessive blood loss.

There was no need to arrange, everyone on the field stood in two rows in an orderly manner, one row stood on the left side for the Yan army generals, and the other row was Jinyi Wei including Uncle Mu, while Ah Ping and I stood by the door.

"Ping'er." Zhu Di called Ah Ping, if this matter is not handled well, it will once again set off a storm between the Yan army and the imperial court soldiers, so it must be handled jointly by the two principals. In a sense, this move is also to enhance Ah Ping's authority.

However, Ah Ping stepped forward, but it was inconvenient for me to follow him, and when he took a few steps, I was left alone in the same position, which was very abrupt. I was about to move to the pile of Jinyiwei, but I felt that my arm was tight, and before I could react, I was dragged to the side, and when I turned my head, I saw Zhu Gaoxu showing a row of white teeth at me like a fool.

Needless to say, I was dragged by him to the Yan army generals, and I didn't care about other people's eyes, but when Ah Ping turned around to look for me, his eyes swept here, and he couldn't help but feel empty. Even though he moved away quickly, I just didn't feel like I knew the bottom of my heart.

The stagnant atmosphere was broken by Zhu Di: "Xu'er, now you come out and talk about the specific situation." ”

Zhu Gaoxu was named and walked to the center of the field, cleared his throat before saying: "Back to my father, the specific situation is roughly what I just said, I ran out when I heard a movement in your house, and then I caught him." ”

Chang Ah Ping ordered in a shallow voice: "Mu Bing, you come." ”

Mu Bing didn't shirk it, and stepped forward and replied respectfully: "My subordinates came back at night, and as soon as they passed by the gate of Lord Yan, they were attacked by General Xiao Zhu from behind. At that time, I didn't know what was going on, but I acquiesced when General Xiao Zhu intended to fight with me, but someone assassinated the prince before I realized that something was wrong. ”

"Then you say that you get up at night, who can testify?" Ah Ping asked again.

Mu Bing thought about it and shook his head, and replied honestly: "No one." ”

I think it should be, at this time, in the middle of the night, everyone should be asleep, who could not have slept? Suddenly there were whispers around me, I couldn't hear it clearly, but I could roughly guess that at least Zhu Di's subordinates questioned Mu Bing's words.

can understand, all words are unfounded, if Mu Bing can't find a reasonable evidence, just words are really not convincing. Zhu Di's injury is already a fact, how could it be so coincidental that Mu Bing passed by the door when he was assassinated?

But he heard a slightly rough voice speak: "I can testify." ”

Everyone was surprised, because the person who spoke was actually General Zhu Neng. He took a step forward and arched his hand towards Zhu Di and said, "Marshal, my old Zhu doesn't tell lies. Stomach trouble tonight is not very comfortable, I got up at night many times, just now I was squatting on the toilet, I heard that there was indeed a person next door. ”

Zhu Neng is straightforward, and he has no rank with the generals, so someone asked: "Then how can you be sure that he is the one who squats next to your toilet, Old Zhu?" Zhu Neng glared, "When my old Zhu has no eyes, he can see his feet." ”

Immediately, everyone's eyes fell on Mu Bing's feet, he was wearing a pair of black cloth boots, and the brocade guards in the column were wearing this kind of boots, including their clothing and equipment. But Mu Bing's shoes are very old, so old that they are already torn at the toes, and they may be able to be camouflaged, but this shoe can't be fitted.

So the person Zhu Neng saw in the toilet must be Mu Bing, there is no doubt about it.

Zhu Neng also said: "My old Zhu can only tell the facts he saw, and it is unknown whether he assassinated the marshal." ”

The reason is this, but in fact, Zhu Neng has already confirmed Mu Bing's innocence, because no one will go to the toilet before the assassination. Of course, some people will admit it and say: Maybe it happened to be urgent to urinate during the stabbing process?

This kind of argument can really be ignored, but the question at the moment is, since Mu Bing is not the murderer of the assassination, then who assassinated Zhu Di at night and even stabbed him? Zhu Di's kung fu is not very high, but ordinary people are not close, could it be that he was sleeping soundly at that time? But generally a person like him, who has been marching and fighting outside for a long time, should not sleep too hard at night, and will maintain a keen vigilance.

At this moment, Ah Ping suddenly said, "This person is still here." ”
