Chapter Twenty-Three: Mountain Rain

"In this way, there are really a lot of people from Yuecheng, and we are all lonely." Yun Yanjin whispered half seriously, half self-deprecating.

In Yun Yanzheng's lowered eyes, a trace of doubt flashed faintly. She had suspected that person, but that person was sick in King Heng's Mansion at the moment, and he was injured, could it be that he also had a hidden power hidden in Yuecheng? How did they get in touch with her and Yun Yanjin's secret guards? Except for that night, the Assassins attacked and knocked down all the Secret Guards, but how did he know that the Assassins would attack that night, could he really not know the Prophet? Or is it that his power has already controlled and monitored the rest of the forces in Yuecheng, including the bright and the covert, she thought about it like this, and suddenly felt that her heart was beating wildly, and she felt that it was impossible for someone to be so calculating, and the net was dense.

"What do you see?" Yun Yanjin saw her contemplation for a long time, and couldn't help asking.

Yun Yanzheng shook his head, waved away the suspicion in his heart, and chuckled: "I can't see it yet, I just feel that the clouds are thick, and the mountain rain is coming." I just don't know that under this storm, the hundred-year-old city of Yuecheng may be able to support it? ”

Yun Yanjin sighed silently and said: "There is no time, place, and people, so I have to work hard to support it." ”

Yun Yan suddenly felt a trace of tragedy and excitement from his words, if they were royal people, if the country was ruined and their families were destroyed, they would only have the fate of going to the same home and returning with their family and country.

"Who went to the military department to get the secret letter?" Yun Yanjin asked again, and the chess pieces in his hand fell steadily between the vertical and horizontal.

"The Ministry of War has always had King Yi's people, and this time he is controlling this matter himself. But why he suddenly targeted the 'Daika Pavilion' makes me wonder. He also planted chess pieces in the 'Daixiang Pavilion', could it be that there are other people's eyes and ears among them? I don't know if he's cleaning the portal this time, or is he strangling each other? My brother is not an idle person who can be bullied, as long as he doesn't mess up the overall situation, let him toss in a small fight, and we can't control this much. Yun Yanzheng smiled slightly bitterly, her brothers are all smart people, but they are all people who can't bear to take care of the overall situation, otherwise how could they be provoked by others one by one to make trouble.

It's really a wave of unsettled waves, big troubles, small calculations, she can only learn to forbear, and try not to subvert the big ship of Wei Kingdom.

"Is there anything suspicious about the people he captured in the 'Daixiang Pavilion'?" Yun Yanjin's eyebrows became more and more frowned, and the chess pieces in her hands were a little careless.

Yun Yanzheng took a sip of tea, still patiently looked at the sticky chessboard, and said lightly: "Among them, there is a 'Mr. Qingwu', she is the head of the 'Daixiang Pavilion', and she is a rare long-sleeved person who is good at dancing and exquisite in Yuecheng. He has intimate contacts with the families of many officials in the court, but he has always been just planning for the 'Daixiang Pavilion' to gain a firm foothold in Yuecheng, and there is nothing out of the ordinary. It's just that a few days ago, there was a little guy in the 'Jade Man Fang' who went to a tea shop in the middle of the night, and then sneakily came out, but disappeared in the 'Jade Man Fang' in the past few days. ”

Yun Yanjin was suspicious when she heard this, and couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at her.

"I sent someone to secretly check, and the tea shop belonged to Brother Wei Ying, the head of the household department; The lease of the dilapidated winery on the outskirts of the city was also run by the household department; Wei Wenyi, the second son of the Hubu Shilang family, was also among you when the cruise ship had an accident that day, don't you think there is some inevitable connection between this? The corners of Yun Yanzheng's lips pursed slightly, his eyes were bright, and there was brilliance flowing in it, "As for the 'Jade Man Fang', it has nothing to do with the 'Daixiang Pavilion' on the surface, but before that little man disappeared, he had disguised himself to enter the 'Daixiang Pavilion'. And the 'Jade Workshop' is still a place where it joins forces with the underground silver village to sell dirt, I suspect that it is selling dirt for the 'Daixiang Pavilion', as for how many dirty things King Yi has done with the 'Daixiang Pavilion', only he knows himself. ”

"'Daixiang Pavilion' and Tobe are both King Yi's people? Is it because he wants to do something rebellious? This bloody case, the haunting in the palace, and the danger of you and me are all his handiwork? Yun Yanjin guessed so, but faintly felt that Yun Yanqi did not have the ability to lay out so carefully.

"You don't think he has the skills to do this, and he doesn't necessarily have to be his person doing it." Although the Daixiang Pavilion is his place, it may not be just his own place, I am afraid that there are other forces infiltrating it, otherwise he would not have cleaned the 'Daixiang Pavilion' today. Yun Yanzheng said firmly, pointed his finger on the chessboard, pushed the chess pieces, and was doing the game step by step.

Yun Yanjin's thick eyelashes flickered, revealing a sharp light inside, and asked, "Then guess who it is?" ”

Yun Yanzheng took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve pocket, handed them to him, and said, "This is a context map written by Gu Xi, you can look at it." ”

After Yun Yanjin read it carefully, his face became more and more solemn, and he felt that this time the matter had exceeded the original estimate. He looked at Yun Yanzheng, and there was also a solemn look written in her eyes. Yun Yanjin pondered for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Ming'er asked Chu Ruirong to come to King Heng's Mansion." This matter cannot be delayed any longer, and we can't go past the one in the palace to do things, so we can only hope that Gu Xi can really enter the game. ”

Is Gu Xi really credible? Yun Yanzheng hesitated in his heart and flashed a trace of doubt? An inexplicable hidden worry is not going to go after all.

Yun Yanjin suddenly smiled and asked, "Shezhi, what progress has you made between you and him?" ”

Yun Yanzheng glanced at him angrily when he heard this. Dare this third brother keep using her as bait to catch big fish?

Yun Yanjin leaned back on the chair unhurriedly, and said with a vague smile: "Don't laugh at the third brother who is not a gentleman, in a position like ours, he is really not qualified to be a gentleman." Whether it is the righteousness of a confidant; The grace of knowledge; Or a brotherhood; The love between men and women, not to mention that this is a means of some people, but this is really an important bridge that closely connects the two people. For the sake of social stability and the great plan of the family and country, you still have to sacrifice one or two! ”

Yun Yanzheng was accustomed to knowing that he liked to play around, and his temperament was not as dignified as on his face, so he smiled, but said with a straight face: "No, no, I don't want to do it." The emotions between people can only be closely interdepended on when the true feelings are revealed. I have received false affection in this palace for more than ten years, and I don't want to continue like this in the future, so I will be willful. The corners of her narrow phoenix eyes were slightly raised, with a shallow smile, her jade-white face looked bright, and the fluttering white clothes on her body were wide and casual, like a touch of free wind.

The prison of the Criminal Department.

The dark and damp cell was unbearably filthy and smelly.

An impatient figure, curled up in the corner, cursed, and said, "King Yi, what is he crazy about?" They locked us up here, and they don't want to think about how many pickled things have gone through our hands over the years, and how much money they have gained......"

"Shut up!" A cold rebuke came, and the prison fell silent again. A deserted woman sat in the shadow of the cell, her eyes calm and grim, and said softly: "We and King Yi have both suffered from other people's calculations this time. King Yi thought that we had betrayed him, and that we were pursuing him in the hunting grounds, and that we had joined forces with others to take his life. And we have already let people see through our identities, and we have been calculated without knowing it, and we are still sitting there waiting to die. Now you can't complain about anyone, and if you really want to complain, you can only resent your own stupidity. ”

Everyone else was shimpering, not daring to speak again.

The deserted woman was dressed in a blue floral gown, with black hair like clouds, a beautiful complexion, long eyebrows and sideburns, and a pair of eyes that were as cold as ice.

"Who calculated us?" Someone finally couldn't help asking.

"Now in Yuecheng, he is the only one who has such ability." Qingwu gritted his teeth coldly, they still underestimated his strength after all.

"Who?" Those people asked with some horror, they had been hiding in Yuecheng for so long, and they had hidden so deeply, that they couldn't escape this person's ears and eyes, and they couldn't escape this person's calculations?

"Gu Xi!" Qingwu sighed, only this person can become the opponent of the young master, and he is also the mortal enemy of this game. Although the game between the two of them was a lose-lose game back then, but now Gu Xi has appeared in Yuecheng to liquidate their stronghold, and the young master is still recuperating in a hidden place.

"Gu Xi? Wasn't he critically ill in an assassination? The woman next to her said suspiciously, "In the past few days, the building has also received the exact news of his blood-stained clothes." And in the spy reports sent by Che Shui, didn't they all say that King Heng and the eldest princess of Fengwu were whitewashing peace on the surface, but secretly they were worried and helpless? ”

"Now it seems that most of the news was false, and it was just a distraction for his enemies to let their guard and divert their attention. Perhaps he has been used by him to mislead us. Qingwu's eyebrows were like smoke, and there was a hint of sigh in her voice, "I'm afraid that we will have to live up to the expectations of the young master this time." ”

The people around him trembled slightly, and asked in horror, "Can't we escape from this prison?" ”

Qingwu shook his head and lowered his eyes: "We know too many secrets of King Yi, and now that he believes that we are betrayers, he will definitely not give us the opportunity to speak to others and confide in what he has done through the 'Daixiang Pavilion', what awaits us is not the interrogation of the Criminal Department, but his murder." We are just a few assassins with evil intentions, no one cares whether we live or die, and after death, we can be fooled by just one more crime. ”
