Chapter 153: Soldiers Coming to the City and Diamonds Full 2400 Plus More
In the middle of the night, someone came on a horse, splashing the water on the ground, and the pedestrians couldn't dodge, but they didn't dare to make a sound, looking at the person in military uniform riding a horse galloping past, and finally shook his head, sighing that the sky would change greatly.
The hurried knock on the door woke Chu Xi up, she hurriedly put on a robe and got up, and then saw Xiao Fu'er and Aunt Fu coming over with lanterns, their faces were anxious, and their eyes were a little wet.
"What's wrong?" Chu Xi asked.
Xiao Fu'er looked at Chu Xi worriedly, and said, "Miss, the slave maid said that you must not be sad, Mrs. Yang."
Before she finished speaking, Chu Xi understood what she meant.
"Go and ask Lin Fu to prepare the carriage, let's go over now." Now that she has recognized the Yang family, she wants to pass no matter what.
"But now it's night, and it's still too dangerous outside." Aunt Fu also followed.
Chu Xi thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, I have my own way." With that, he hurriedly went back to his room to change his clothes.
Not long after, a carriage came out of the Hou Mansion and went straight to the Yang Mansion, and the people who had been waiting for a long time saw her go out, and they looked like they had known this for a long time, and directly asked people to follow.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and the horses kept snorting, and the wind outside penetrated into the carriage, and people shivered with cold.
The carriage turned around again, and it was Yang's mansion, but he heard a sound of breaking the air, and a sharp arrow pierced the running horse, and the people in the carriage also rolled down, fell to the ground, and frowned in pain.
"Which one is unlucky." The woman rubbed her elbows, and the assassins who came over glanced at her, but she was not Chu Xi, and she looked like she was just an ordinary maid in the Hou Mansion.
The leader only sneered: "It's this trick again, but the master has an order, no matter who it is, kill it!" Then he took up his sword and killed him.
A carriage also came out of the back door of the Hou Mansion and headed for the Yang Mansion.
The people in the shadows followed again, but they had only been walking for a short time, and they couldn't bear to see another carriage at the main gate of the Hou Mansion, and then one after another, and only stopped after a dozen carriages, each of which was half a pillar of incense away.
Zhao Xunyan originally thought that this was just Chu Xi's golden cicada shelling insect carving technique, but he didn't think that none of the carriages that appeared one after another were Chu Xi, but none of the waves of people he sent out could come back.
"Master, what should I do?" Someone came over.
Zhao Xunyan's face was gloomy. Let the cold wind pour into his body, staring straight at the Hou Mansion in front of him and running out of the carriage one by one, making him want to rush in directly to catch talent.
"You don't have to."
"What if"
"We don't have many people now, and we can't get in from outside the city, and if we are all booby-trapped by them, we will have no way to retreat." Zhao Xunyan's words seemed to be squeezed out of between their teeth, and everyone listened to it, nodding hurriedly and retreating to the side and not daring to say more.
Zhao Xunyan stared at the distant carriages, and laughed as if doting: "That's it, let her be free for a few more days, after all, she will follow me, and then I will slowly torture her." ”
Chu Ji didn't know that Zhao Xunyan was fighting this idea, but he killed a lot of his people tonight, which also proved that he was indeed staring at the Hou Mansion and staring at himself, like an unbroken ghost.
When she arrived at the Yang Mansion, Xiao Fu'er got out of the carriage first, held an umbrella and helped Chu Xi to come down carefully, and nagged as she walked: "You also tighten your cloak, you can't catch a cold, it's not good for your stomach, and it's just a matter of reprimanding the slave and maid when you turn around, what if you fall ill."
Chu Ji didn't care about Xiao Fu'er, hurriedly walked to the hall, and saw Yang Ci who came to hear the news.
Yang Ci's eyes were full of bloodshots, and when he saw her coming, he was surprised: "Why are you here now, your body" asked people to pass the news, the original intention was to tell her.
"Maternal grandmother has been"
"It's gone." Yang Ci's tone was slightly choked, and he was worried: "Your body is not well yet, don't catch a cold, go to the wing room to rest first, and then come over when the people are reined in." ”
Chu Xi looked at the corner not far behind him, and there was a light purple figure hiding, as if he wanted to follow, but he didn't dare to come.
Chu Xi sighed lightly and didn't say anything more.
Yang Ci looked at her back and left, his palms tightened slightly, and he turned around and met Yang Ying's tearful eyes that followed, and only said lightly: "I will follow my grandmother's instructions, and when the first seven days are over, I will marry you immediately." ”
Yang Ying blinked, tears slipped down, she looked at Yang Ci and didn't know what it felt, she didn't know whether it was love, inferiority, or hate, all kinds of tastes, so that even if she heard Yang Ci say that she would marry her soon, she became indifferent.
"Brother quit, can you send me back to my room?" Yang Ying suddenly made a decision in her heart.
Yang Ci didn't know what she wanted to do, and frowned slightly: "Are you uncomfortable?" ”
"Well, there's something else I want to give you." Yang Ying said again.
Seeing that her face was indeed pale, Yang Ci did not refuse, and followed her to the room, but he didn't have time to speak. Yang Ying sprinkled a handful of medicinal powder that had been prepared long ago on him, Yang Ci's eyes widened, but his body began to soften: "Ying'er, what do you want to do!" ”
Yang Ying burst into tears, slowly took off her clothes, and approached him: "I want to give me to you, and then, let you go"
With that, the cold wind outside blew out the faint candle flames, leaving only the faint moaning sound mixed with the sound of the thunderstorm.
Early the next morning, when Chu Xi saw Yang Ci, he was angry, and when he saw that he was a little embarrassed, he opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, so he simply turned around and ran away without saying a word.
"Miss, what's wrong with him?" Xiao Fu'er was puzzled.
Chu Xi walked into the mourning hall, looked at Yang Ying, who was kneeling in front of the coffin and was numb, and shook her head slightly.
Old General Yang sat aside, his eyes were slightly swollen, his face was serious and cold, the wind from the outer hall blew in, making the silver filaments scattered on his headphones flutter with him, even when Chu Xi came over, he didn't seem to notice it, just staring at the brazier burning paper money in front of him.
Yang Qianxiu's face was as white as paper, but he was the most stable among these people, even if he was in a wheelchair, he meticulously arranged for his subordinates to greet and send off guests. Seeing Chu Ji coming, he beckoned to her.
Chu Xi knelt down and bowed before he sat down beside him.
When Yang Qianxiu saw Chu Xi, he laughed, with tears in his eyes: "Before my mother died, I told my father, an old stubborn, that after the marriage of Ci'er and Ying'er, he would go into hiding, giving up his great ambition to protect his family and defend the country. He seemed to explain why General Yang was now sitting on the side with a serious face.
"What does the third uncle think?" Chu Ji looked at him.
Yang Qianxiu just sighed: "I am disabled, like Ci'er's father, I have long been tired of fighting and killing here, if it weren't for Ci'er's young age and no one in the Yang family, I might have been a monk long ago away from these rights and wrongs." ”
Chu Ji's face tightened slightly, he didn't persuade him anything, he had experienced so much, he should have understood life a long time ago.
"When did Yang Ying and Yang Ci get married?" Chu Xi looked at Yang Ying in front of her and felt that something was wrong with her appearance.
"After the mother's first seventh, this is set by herself, she hopes that when they get married, they will live a good life, and stop fighting and killing all day long, and intriguing." Yang Qian cultivated and raised his eyes to look at Yang Ying: "After the last incident, Ying'er has changed a lot. ”
"If they can let go of their knots, they will live a peaceful life in the future."
When Yang Qianxiu heard this, he laughed: "But Ci'er, it seems that he is also like his grandfather, he wants to glorify his ancestors and protect the people of the world, and he also has great ambitions. His smile was more like a sigh, there was not the slightest smile in his eyes, only indifference after being tortured by fate.
Chu Xi didn't know what to say, Yang Ci's path had to be chosen by himself, and he could only follow his ideas as he wanted to live.
Hou Ye and his wife also came over in the morning, the Chu family has no one, and the Yang family is also considered in-laws, so they should come over.
Lin Qingyu didn't come, and the prince didn't let him out of the palace at all, as if he was under house arrest in the palace.
Chu Xi was still taken back to the Hou Mansion, her body couldn't stand it, and the imperial doctor once said that if she didn't pay attention again, she would fall into the root of the disease, and she might not be able to conceive a child in the future.
In the afternoon, Li Xiao and Mrs. Li both came, in the name of condolences.
Today's Li Xiao is very majestic, with a first-class official robe, brocade boots on his feet, and his hair is a first-class jade, he is really a noble son, but compared with before, he is a little less gentle and modest, and more sharp and arrogant. When he came to Chu Xi, he still intended to restrain himself.
Chu Xi wore a plain long skirt, and when she saw them, she was also crooked on the soft couch, Xiao Fu'er was holding an embroidered bandage and embroidering flowers on the side, wanting to embroider a few sachets for Chu Xi, she always couldn't sleep peacefully at night.
Li Xiao was a little distressed when she saw that Chu Xi had lost a lot of weight again, and then she became angry, and her tone became a little cold: "The prince of the world promised to love you at the beginning, but now not only is he not at home all day, but he has also caused you to suffer so much."
"Xiao'er." Seeing that Li Xiao's words were inappropriate, Mrs. Li hurriedly stopped him, if this word spread, wouldn't it affect his official reputation?
Li Xiao's words paused, looking at Chu Xi's slightly lowered eyes, looking at her thick eyelashes curled like butterfly wings, and then looking at her eyes with bright water and autumn pupils under her eyelashes, her heart moved slightly, and the hand she put aside also tightened. If the eldest sister followed her, she wouldn't have suffered so much if she said anything.
"I don't blame the world for this matter, it's the wicked who are too evil." Chu Xi said lightly, looked at Mrs. Li in a gorgeous dress, and said with a smile: "What do you have to say when my aunt comes?" ”
"Don't you dare to take orders." Mrs. Li still remembered the last time she tore her face, so she smiled and said: "We are here to pick up the green shoots back, and the little lady of the Dongjun Wangfu family is about to marry into our family, and I don't have enough people around me, so I want her to go back and help me." ”
"Really?" Chu Ji smiled lightly: "There are many grandmothers in the Hou Mansion who are good at this, my aunt will go back this time, so I will take ten people back, and I still want to stay with me for a few days." ”
"Your grandmother didn't pass away, and you don't have time now" Mrs. Li was in a hurry and didn't choose to speak, she just wanted to take the green sprouts away now, and she didn't want to keep the child in the belly of the girl in the green sprouts.
Li Xiao hurriedly stopped her: "Mother, what are you talking about, the princess and concubine have just passed away, and it is a sad time." Li Xiao was a little angry, Mrs. Li saw him like this, she was busy silencing, Li Xiao used to listen to her mother for everything, but now that she is a big official, she will often get angry.
Chu Xi asked Xiao Fu'er to help her up, looked at the sky outside, and said, "It's not early, I'm going to rest, if you two have nothing else to do, please go back." ”
"But"
Li Xiao glanced at Mrs. Li, but he was inexplicably happy in his heart, in this way, he could come to see Chu Xi often in the future by looking at the name of Green Shoots.
Seeing Chu Xi slowly walking towards the room, Li Xiao remembered something, hesitated for a moment, and said: "The crown prince plans to take you into the palace to live for a while, I heard that the little county lord Yao'er misses you very much, and Su Guifei will be martyred for the first emperor at that time, so this will be the end of the day." ”
Chu Xi's figure really froze, Li Xiao knew that she shouldn't have told her in advance, but now that Lin Qingyu was not there, she was weak again, and she helped by herself, even if she was not grateful, she would not be disgusted.
Chu Xi glanced back at him: "Did the emperor say that?" ”
"Hmm."
Chu Xi's palms tightened slightly, and she nodded indifferently, and when Li Xiao left, she was so dizzy that she almost didn't stand firm.
Xiao Fu'er hurriedly helped her to sit down, anxious: "Miss, how is this good?" ”
"Tell Mrs. Hou about this first." Zhao Xuanyi is not worried about the Hou Mansion, he is not worried about Lin Qingyu, he will remove the Hou Ye, Lin Qingyu is not enough to be under house arrest in the palace, do you want to capture yourself too!
"Yes!" Xiao Fu'er hurriedly went down to return, but Xu Gui, who hadn't seen him for a long time, came with news.
Chu Xi saw him in the gatehouse of the back corner door, he was dressed in blue-gray linen clothes, with a cloth towel wrapped around his head and a cloak on his body.
"What's wrong?" Chu Ji came over and asked. It stands to reason that Xu Gui is staring at the capital, and there should be no movement.
Xu Gui looked at her and hurriedly said, "Originally, you had already sent someone to keep an eye on it in the capital, but the little one found something that you didn't observe." ”
"You say." Looking at his serious face, Chu Xi's heart also lifted slightly.
Xu Gui looked left and right, and Chu Ji sent everyone away. He lowered his voice and whispered, "Do you remember the green sandalwood that followed you?" ”
"Didn't she go to join the southern Xinjiang mission, I heard Qingyu say that she encountered a lot of obstacles on the way, and she hasn't entered Beijing so far, what's wrong with her?" Chu Xi was puzzled.
Xu Gui hurriedly said: "I found that she had quietly entered the capital, followed by a man, I didn't seem to like her very much, but after they entered the city, they didn't go to see the emperor, and they didn't come to look for you, I thought it was strange, let the brother of the beggar gang help keep an eye on it for two days, who knew that she actually went to see the Aunt Hong who helped you give porridge and food to the victims, I saw that something was wrong, so I hurried to report." ”
When Chu Xi heard this, she remembered that Aunt Hong came and found out her identity, she was just the top brand of Qianqinglou, and she was neat, and she was convinced that she knew Lu Tan by chance, but now it seems that it is indeed suspicious.
"People, you continue to star, and don't startle the snake!" Qingyu said that they were blocked on the way and were not allowed to come, but Lu Tan appeared in the capital with a mysterious man, and it was such a critical time now, what did they want to do?
Chu Ji looked at Xu Gui and remembered his injury: "The injury on your body is better?" ”
Xu Gui saw that Chu Ji actually asked about his injury, and said with a smile: "It's much better, thanks to the medicine you sent, that medicine is really a miracle medicine, and after taking it, it's half better." Xu Gui was still grateful when he thought of this.
Chu Ji bowed her head, turned her head and picked up the box she had just brought and handed it to him: "A few ginseng, there are too many things in the Hou Mansion, so you can take it back and stew the soup." ”
Xu Gui was moved in his heart, even his mother had never been so kind to him, of course, when he was still young and couldn't remember, his mother was gone.
"The little one swears, even if he dies, he will never betray Miss!" Xu Gui was moved to bow his hand to Chu Ji.
Seeing him like this, Chu Xi shook his head with a smile: "Let's not talk about this first, you help me keep an eye on people, and try not to die yourself, otherwise it will be rare for me to cultivate another one." ”
"Yes!" Xu Gui said, hugged the ginseng and went out, as if he was still wiping his tears as he walked.
Xiao Fu'er rushed over when she heard the news, and just happened to see Xu Gui leaving, came in and shook the water beads on her body, and said, "Miss, why is Xu Gui still crying, have you trained him?" ”
Chu Xi raised her eyebrows slightly: "What did Mrs. Hou say?" ”
Xiao Fu'er remembered what happened to Fang Cai, and hurriedly said: "Hou Ye said, you must not go, he will enter the palace to discuss this matter with the prince on the same day." ”
"Hmm." Chu Ji bowed his head, and wanted to tell Lin Qingyu about the green sandalwood, but thinking that he was already entangled in affairs, he endured it.
Seeing that it was not early, Chu Xi's heart also began to hang, and the ceremony of the emperor's burial tomorrow, Zhao Xunyan was afraid that he would not be able to help but do it.
At night, a woman in tattered clothes stood in front of the city gate and sobbed miserably: "I want to see my mother"
The two men who were about to close the city gate looked at the pitiful, thinking that there should be no danger to a little girl left and right, so they let her in without a pair of wanted portraits.
As soon as she entered the city, she walked a few steps, then dodged into the alley, entered a secret passage with a familiar way, and easily avoided the people who were investigated, and arrived at the dilapidated house not far from the Hou Mansion.
Hearing the sound, Zhao Xunyan's closed eyes immediately opened, looking at the person who appeared in front of him, his eyes narrowed dangerously: "What about Lang Yueqiu?" ”
"I'll do it." Chu Dai'er looked at Zhao Xunyan, who was sitting on an old stool and kept on guard at all times, and sneered: "What, the former King of Freedom is already as timid as a mouse?" ”
"My people have gone and never returned, do you think you can still leave if you come over?" After Zhao Xunyan finished speaking, the guards on the side had already drawn their swords.
Chu Dai'er looked at him without changing her face, and only said, "If I go and don't come back, then your plan for tomorrow will be ruined." ”
Zhao Xunyan looked at her suspiciously: "How could Lang Yueqiu let you come over to discuss with me." ”
"Because my mother thinks that I am enough, your ability is long gone, and now the people who helped you in the capital were either killed by you, or took refuge in Zhao Xuanyi, what, do you still plan to kill me?" Chu Dai'er took a few steps forward, looked at the sword in front of her, and walked forward calmly: "If you want to cut yourself off, I won't stop you, my mother and I just continue to find people to cooperate, as for the others, Zhao Xuanyi sits on his thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, glory and wealth, and Chu Ji and Lin Qingyu live and fly."
"Alright." Zhao Xunyan interrupted her, flicked his sleeve robe and stood up, stood in front of the door with his hands in his hands, looked at the Hou Mansion that seemed to have returned to peace through the shabby, and said, "Say, what do you plan to do." ”
When Chu Dai'er saw him like this, she spoke: "Tomorrow, when the old emperor is buried, take the opportunity to start an incident." ”
"This is my plan."
"I'm not done yet." The corners of Chu Dai'er's mouth raised: "Zhao Xuanyi's biggest help is Lin Qingyu, but the person Lin Qingyu cares about the most is Chu Xuanyu, you said that if we arrest Chu Xuan again to threaten Lin Qingyu, even if he doesn't betray Zhao Xuanyi, he will definitely not go against us." Your dead soldiers are attacking the city, and my mother and I will help you catch Chu Xi, how about it? ”
Zhao Xunyan looked back at her fiercely; "Don't think I don't know what you're up to"
"I won't kill Chu Ji, she is our talisman, how can I kill her?" Chu Dai'er laughed, and the whole person was shrouded in darkness, making it impossible to see the look on her face.
Zhao Xunyan looked at her and slowly approached: "How can I trust you?" His hand slowly lifted her chin, and there was a vicious light flashing in one eye: "I know that you hate Chu Xi and want to marry Lin Qingyu, why don't you become my woman."
"Don't you think about it!" Chu Dai'er opened her hand, Zhao Xunyan looked at her angry appearance, and laughed: "Chu Dai'er, I really didn't guess wrong, you are really in love with Lin Qingyu, you stupid woman!" ”
"You don't have to worry about my business!" After Chu Dai'er finished speaking, she was about to leave, but Zhao Xunyan glanced left and right, and immediately grabbed her: "Do you think I don't dare to touch you?" Don't forget, you are the daughter of the old emperor, or his woman, and I hate him to the core, and so do you. ”
Chu Dai'er stubbornly raised her chin and stared at him coldly: "What, do you want to kill me now?" ”
Zhao Xunyan stared at her eyes, and said: "You can arrest Chu Xi, but if you want to torture her, I can only do it, if you dare to kill her, I will gouge out your beautiful eyes!" ”
Seeing that he didn't want to kill him, Chu Dai'er pushed the guards on both sides away and sneered: "Don't worry, for the sake of our great cause, I will be merciful!" With that, he turned and disappeared into the darkness.
"Follow her!" She just left, and Zhao Xunyan said.
The man in black immediately followed, but only took a few steps before retreating: "She sealed the road. ”
When Zhao Xunyan heard this, he always felt that something was wrong. Chu Dai'er is very weird, if she has any tricks
Zhao Xunyan still felt uneasy, and went through tomorrow's plan again, and there was no problem, so he said: "Order, as soon as Zhao Xuanyi leaves the city tomorrow, we will do it!" Remember, be sure to see Zhao Xuan escape out of the city with your own eyes! ”
"Yes!"
After a night, when Chu Ji woke up, Lin Qingyu was actually by his side, he looked extremely tired, even if he was asleep, his brows were still slightly furrowed.
Chu Xi didn't dare to move, so he looked at him stupidly, he must have been working very hard these days, otherwise he wouldn't be so haggard, so tired, and the original vigilance was gone.
Chu Xi listened to the sound of the rain outside, listened to the sound of people getting up and starting to clean the yard, listened to the sound of very light footsteps coming and going, and then looked at the people next to the pillow, her heart was slightly warm.
It wasn't until dawn that there was a knock on the door outside the house, Lin Qing opened his eyes suddenly, and when he saw the people around him, he let out a long breath, grabbed her like a coquette, and whispered in her ear: "Xi'er, I miss you so much"
Chu Xiwaner: "It's only been a few days"
"I haven't seen each other for a day, like every three autumns, and we've been separated for several years." Lin Qingyu sniffed the faint medicinal fragrance on her body, and put her big hand on her lower abdomen: "Does it still hurt?" ”
Chu Xi thought of this child and looked at him comfortingly: "It doesn't hurt anymore." ”
"You've suffered." Lin Qingyu saw that she didn't want to let herself worry about digesting her grief alone, and hugged her into his arms: "I heard that Old Madam Yang has passed away. ”
"Hmm." Chu Xi responded lightly, Mrs. Yang was already terminally ill, and now that she has died, she is not too surprised, but her heart is empty, and she has one less relative in this world.
"I promised, no matter what happens in the past two days, don't go out, okay?" Lin Qingyu said, Chu Ji also guessed that Zhao Xunyan would definitely do it today, and he and Chu Dai'er might also attack him.
"Okay." Chu Ji bowed her head, Lin Qingyu laughed at this time, pinched her little face, and said distressedly: "I have lost a lot of weight, I have to eat more in the future, I can't be hungry, I like your plump appearance." ”
Chu Xi looked at his clear and upright eyes. The eyebrows were slightly raised, and there was a knock on the door outside: "Shizi, the time is almost up." ”
Lin Qingyu reluctantly got up, covered the thin quilt for her, and said with a smile: "You lie down for a while, I have already said it to my father, you don't have to go over to say hello, just be lazy at home." ”
Chu Xiwan'er watched him get dressed and go out, and then sat up.
When he left, he lifted the curtain, and the cool wind outside blew in, dissipating all the stuffiness in the room, and making Chu Xi's depressed mood much better.
As soon as Lin Qingyu left, Xiao Fu'er ran in conveniently: "Miss, there's news!" "Xiao Fu'er seems to be doing spy work for the first time, and she is very excited.
Chu Ji smiled: "What's the news?" ”
Xiao Fu'er hurriedly said: "Zheng Yun, the general of Zheng Yun, said it in person, according to the information you provided, he found Lu Tan, and he also knew the people who followed him, it was the great prince and envoy sent by Southern Xinjiang to sue for peace this time, and the two of them came alone, they didn't do anything, they didn't arrange anything, and they didn't know what to do." ”
Chu Xi thought while getting dressed, since they didn't make a move when they came over this time, what did they have to wait for. Now that this juncture has come to an eye, does it depend on the situation? If Zhao Xunyan wins, they will invade, and if Zhao Xuanyi wins, and there is no impact, they will not move?
Chu Xi couldn't figure out what they were going to do, so she just said, "That's it, just let him keep an eye on it first." ”
"Hmm." Xiao Fu'er bowed his head, and Yan Yi also rushed over in a hurry.
"Princess Shizi, there is movement outside the city!" He stood outside the beaded curtain and said.
"What's going on?" Xiao Fu'er asked hurriedly, she is addicted now.
Yan Yi glanced at Xiao Fu'er lightly, and directly ignored her, and Chu Yi said, "Say it." ”
"There's an army approaching!"
"The army?" Chu Ji's hand that was about to take the hairpin and put it into the bun paused slightly: "What army?" How many people and who leads? ”
"I haven't checked it yet, but these people seem to have come out of nowhere, approaching the capital, the emperor is afraid that he has also received the news, but the coffin of the first emperor is about to be carried out of the capital and buried in the imperial mausoleum, if the emperor goes out this time, only the regent guards the city, and if he wins or loses, the regent will have an accident, but if the prince does not go out of the city, he will be caught by someone and say that he is not filial"
"Can I tell the prince about this?" Chu Ji said busily.
Yan Yi bowed his head: "Don't worry, I will send the news to the past immediately, but I only saw the army outside the city, and there was no shadow of the dead soldiers." ”
"The dead are mixed in with that group of soldiers, and if they only plan to deal with this group of people in ordinary ways, it will definitely not work." Chu Xi remembered the person she had caught in Wuji Pavilion that day, and she stood up and was about to go out, but Xiao Fu'er hurriedly opened her hand to stop her: "You can't go out!" ”
Chu Xi tapped Xiao Fu'er's elm head: "I won't leave the house, I'll go see Master Hou." ”
"Then the slave maid will go for you, it's too dangerous outside, in case you have three long and two short" Xiao Fu'er didn't finish speaking, Yan Yi stepped forward and lifted her lightly, even if she danced and stared at herself, she was indifferent, and only let her say on the side: "Princess, please!" ”
"Well, you come with me." Chu Xi said that, and hurriedly went to find the Hou Ye, she remembered that in the Wuji Pavilion, there was also a pianist who held the qin and controlled the dead.
Lin Zhuyin seemed to have expected Chu Xi to come back, and as soon as she came over, she served a plate of breakfast first: "I'll take you over after eating first." ”
Mrs. Hou also nodded hurriedly, and beckoned someone to come over with seven or eight plates of things: "Nothing matters as your body, Qingyu has already explained, if you lose weight under our noses, we won't have the face to see our son." ”
Chu Xi had no choice but to sit down.
Lin Zhuyin sat aside and laughed: "You want to ask the violinist, right?" ”
"Daddy knows?"
"I know, your people have also passed the news to me, and I know that the dead man is mixed with the soldiers, so I have already asked people to interrogate the violinist, if there is a score, we can make someone play it ourselves."
Lin Fu shook his head on the side, he had heard the sound of the piano: "There are other things in the sound of the piano, not just the piano score." If the luthier only gives us scores, then he must be lying to us. ”
After a short time, the next person came over and presented only a sheet of music.
Lin Zhuyin took a look, his face was slightly gloomy, and he handed over the piano score to Chu Xi, and he went to the dungeon first.
Chu Xi also wanted to follow, but Mrs. Hou stared at it herself, but she couldn't, so she had to obediently finish breakfast, and then she passed, and when it arrived, the pianist was already dying, and he only shouted and begged for mercy.
Chu Xi glanced at the slowly burning oil lamp under the soles of his feet.
"This control of the dead is carried out by a special person, and it must be in a windy place, releasing something called 'corpse powder', they say it is controlled by the sound of the piano, but in fact it is controlled by this corpse powder."
"What else?" Lin Zhuyin continued, it is not difficult to make corpse powder, and the people of southern Xinjiang who are locked up in the prison of Dali Temple can make it.
The violinist gritted his teeth: "This is an ancestral secret"
"Can't you pass on men or women?" Lin Zhuyin was slightly annoyed: "Don't say anything more, add two more oil lamps"
"I say I say!" Where could he stand this torment, and hurriedly said: "The piano chosen must be soaked in human blood, only the taste of human blood can make them obey, and it must be virgin blood."
When Chu Xi heard this, he knew that it was impossible for Hou Ye to let a few more people play, and it was no wonder that this person was still holding his piano when he was caught.
"Dad, is his piano still there?"
"It's still there." Lin Zhuyin looked at Chu Ji: "Ji'er, should it be you?"
"I promised to be foolish and not leave the house." Chu Xi has a heart, and she will not do anything to distract Lin Qingyu.
When Lin Zhuyin heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll ask the rest, you go out first, this place is too dark and damp, don't get cold." ”
"Yes." Chu Xi looked at the violinist and stepped out. Soaking the body of the piano with the blood of the virgin, how many women have they harmed to get such a piano.
Before Chu Ji left, Lin Zhuyin's face sank: "Kill me." ”
"You promised me not to kill me, the gentleman is hard to chase after me."
Lin Zhuyin raised his eyebrows lightly, his wife had already said that a gentleman's words, it had to be said to the gentleman to be effective, such a villain, forget it.
The qin also quickly sent to Lin Qingyu, in the afternoon of the same day, the first emperor went out of the funeral, the city was full of vegetarian, the whole city was a sad appearance, even the ordinary people also tied a white scarf on their heads, and when the emperor's coffin passed, they all knelt on the side of the road and sobbed in a low voice.
Zhao Xuanyi personally supported the coffin for the first emperor, and a group of palace ladies followed him, and went out of the city in plain clothes.
The paper money sprinkled all over the sky was like a life-urging charm, making the already gloomy weather begin to linger with a trace of murderous aura. Su Guifei was a martyr, carried by a white palanquin without a curtain on all sides, and sat on it in brocade clothes and followed behind the coffin. She sat extremely upright, and the edict of the first emperor said that she was a 'wife', so why didn't she maintain the last decent scenery, even if she died.
The hundred officials followed behind, but the regent Lin Qingyu was not seen, and the people in the inn on one side stared at all this, and the corners of their mouths were coldly raised.
"Are you sure you can catch Chu Xi?" Zhao Xunyan asked in a cold voice.
Chu Dai'er stood by the window, swept every face in the crowd, never saw Lin Qingyu, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Don't worry." ”
"But now that she is closed, do you plan to forcibly break into the Hou Mansion?" Zhao Xunyan sneered: "Today's Hou Mansion is as heavily guarded as a copper wall, if you want to enter, I am afraid that it will be more difficult than entering the palace." ”
"Who said I'm going in, why don't you let her out?" Chu Dai'er laughed.
"What can you do?"
Chu Dai'er's eyes became more and more gloomy: "Can make Chu Ji rush out desperately, except for the Yang family's current lone seedling, who else do you think?" ”
"Yang Ci?" Zhao Xunyan was even more sarcastic, and the killing intent on his body was heavier: "He's not a fool. ”
"But someone is. Like Chu Xi, he has a problem, that is, he attaches too much importance to feelings, and for the sake of this illusory relationship, he can even lose his life and want to use them. It's so easy. "Chu Xi again and again for the people around her, even if she is as humble as a girl, she does not hesitate to risk her life and anger people who are stronger than herself, such a person has too many weaknesses, she can kill them if she pinched one place casually!
Looking at Chu Dai'er's sworn appearance, Zhao Xunyan snorted coldly, and then looked at the darkening sky outside: "Then you have to hurry up, there is not much time left for you, if it is before acting tonight"
"Don't worry, I'm going." With that, he turned around and left.
Zhao Xunyan looked at her, her small body, but even her hair seemed to be quenched with poison, and if she was slightly contaminated, she could kill if she was not careful.
"Master, the outside of the city is ready."
"The soldiers are divided into two ways, one group of people show me those ministers, kill Zhao Xuanyi, and the other part, listen to my orders!"
"Yes!"
The summer weather is getting hotter and hotter, the sky is getting more and more dark clouds, and the stuffiness makes people start to get irritable, and the endless chirping of Zhizhi hidden in various trees makes people more and more upset.
In Yang's mansion, Yang Ci never knew how to face Yang Ying, and Yang Ying acted as if nothing had happened, but she no longer pestered Yang Ci, stopped talking to him, and even ate alone.
When she went to the ear room, Yang Ci came to find it: "Ying'er"
Yang Ying's hand that was about to pour tea paused slightly, and the servants in the room all retreated.
Yang Ying continued to pour tea for herself, and she didn't stop until the teacup was full, lowered her head and sobbed quietly, refusing to look back at him.
Yang Ci was a little at a loss, he was used to Yang Ying's brutal and scoundrel appearance, but she was like this now, standing there alone and trying to suppress her crying, but it made him feel distressed.
"Ying'er, you said that night"
Yang Ying saw that he was really still thinking about leaving, wiped away his tears, exhaled, and said: "I also figured it out, for so many years, I have been ignorant, messing with you, annoying you, and now I deserve it, what I said that night, I will do it, let you go, no matter who you like and who you want to marry, I won't care anymore." ”
Yang Ci gritted his teeth slightly, he didn't mean to say this, but looking at her heartbroken appearance, he only said: "Let's talk about it in the past two days, grandmother's death has nothing to do with you, don't blame yourself too much." After he finished speaking, he saw that Yang Ying still refused to look back, lowered his head, sighed lightly, and turned around and went out.
Yang Ying stood still for a long time before turning around and saying: "Brother Ci, I" turned around, Yang Ci was gone, Yang Ying was stunned, in the end, she smiled bitterly, and wiped her tears while laughing: "You can't cry, Brother Ci doesn't like to see me cry." The more she comforted herself, the more lonely she felt, she had no one to talk to since she was a child, and she couldn't even find anyone to talk about the sudden death of her parents.
Finally couldn't help it, covered her mouth and ran out of the yard, ran back to the room, threw herself on the bed and cried, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances in her heart, but she didn't notice the figure standing behind her.
Chu Dai'er looked at her crying and her shoulders trembled slightly, and shook her head: "How can all women in the world be so stupid." "Just to take revenge on the thin lover back then, my mother ruined her own life and ruined her own life, and now this Yang Ying is the same.
Hearing a sound behind her, Yang Ying hurriedly turned around, but felt a poisonous insect crawling on her neck, biting her neck fiercely, and then passed out.
It was getting late, the wind was loud, the streets of the capital were empty, and occasionally children sneaked out greedily, and they were hurriedly hugged back by their parents who covered their mouths in fear.
The city gate in the city has been closed, only one north city gate is open, the direction of the north city gate is the direction where Zhao Xuanyi went out with the body of the first emperor, and there are soldiers covered in blood who hurriedly returned to the capital, shouting: "Zhao Xunyan has rebelled!" Zhao Xunyan rebelled! ”
General Yang walked to the city gate and looked at the generals protecting the city: "The whole city is on guard!" ”
"Yes!"
In the palace, Lin Qingyu was dressed in military uniform, and the assassin with the knife in front of him had fallen to the ground.
Tonight, Zhao Xunyan doxxed all the dark lines that had been ambushed in the palace before, and the palace instantly began to fight, and the blood flowed like a river.
The Praetorian Guards came over: "Regent, the emperor and the ministers are in danger outside the city!" ”
"Someone has gone to the rescue." Lin Qingyu said as he walked towards the queen's palace, Zhao Xunyan wanted to kill people in the palace, and the first thing to kill was the queen! The queen can't leave the palace today, she seems to be smart, but in fact, she can't escape death, because as long as she is dead, Zhao Xuanyi will send her biological mother to be buried. When I turned back, my mother-in-law died in vain, and the charge of unfilial piety could not be washed away for the rest of my life. Zhao Xunyan is not successful this time, and he will not make Zhao Xuanyi feel better.
At this time, the queen, looking at the palace maid who had killed several of her maids with a knife, her face was slightly pale, and she kept retreating: "You can't do it, don't kneel down for this palace!" ”
The palace maid at the head sneered, raised her hand and stabbed her heart, but after so many years, the queen still has a few people around her who treat her sincerely.
"Mother, run, go find the regent!" Mama blocked the knife for her, clutching the blade and shouting.
The queen ran out in a panic, but unfortunately the palace robe was too long, and she fell to the ground as soon as she stepped on it, and the red hairpin on her head was also scattered on the ground, and her hair bun was scattered, making her embarrassed.
She looked at the people who had chased after her, and kept shrinking back: "You are bold, you are a rebel, and you want to punish the nine clans" The queen shouted tremblingly, but the palace maid didn't care about it, and stabbed her again.
Just when the queen thought that she would definitely die this time, she saw the palace maid pause, and a long arrow pierced her throat, and blood spurted out and fell on her palace robe, like a smudged red plum.
A few sharp arrows broke through the air, and all the palace maids who rushed up behind were shot by arrows and fell, and as soon as the queen turned around, she saw Lin Qingyu coming.
"Protect the Queen!"
After Lin Qingyu finished shouting, the Praetorian Guards quickly protected the queen, and she breathed a sigh of relief, but then she heard Lin Qingyu say: "Do you know what secret way Niangniang can go directly outside the city?" ”
The queen's face turned pale, and her grateful look quickly dissipated, and she asked, "What do you mean, are you worried about the palace and people outside the palace?" ”
Lin Qingyu raised his eyebrows slightly, and knew that there was indeed such a secret passage. All the secret passages left by Zhen Niang were destroyed by Zhao Xuanyi, and now if you want to get out of the city, you can only use the queen.
Seeing that he was always staring at herself, the queen's face turned cold: "This palace said, if there is no, there is no"
"That's the case" Lin Qingyu turned his head lightly, and the queen began to notice that it was not good, so she listened to him: "Everyone, follow this king to find the secret way"
"You" The queen saw that the group of people was really about to disperse, so she hurriedly chased after her: "You are gone, who will protect the palace!" ”
"The minister just thinks that the emperor's safety is more important."
"You!" The queen was about to be killed by Lin Qing's foolishness, as soon as he left, he would definitely not be safe, so he had to say: "This palace does know that a passage that has been abandoned for a long time was left by the emperor back then, and this palace has never used it for so many years."
"Where?"
The queen gritted her teeth slightly, and in the end she still led him all the way inside.
The army outside the city approached, and the flames of war were ignited, and the sleepless people were so frightened that they could not sleep. There are also people who have their own plans.
Yang Ci changed his clothes and was about to go out to help General Yang, but then he realized that he hadn't seen Yang Ying since he had been in the ear room before, and he couldn't help but say coldly: "What about Ying'er?" ”
"The young lady went back to the room crying in the afternoon, and she has not come out until now." Humane.
Yang Ci was taken aback: "Why didn't you say it earlier!" After that, he hurried to Yang Ying's room, but when he opened the door, he searched inside and out, but he found no trace of Yang Ying, only a letter signed for him to open in person.
Zhao Xunyan was also wearing armor, and stood in an inn near the north city gate with his few remaining people, looking at the battle outside that was already in full swing, and smiled with satisfaction: "Chu Dai'er has no news yet?" ”
Others were a little timid: "Since I left, there has been no news." ”
Zhao Xunyan frowned: "I don't have time to care about her for the time being, when she appears, I will definitely be arrested!" ”
"Yes!"
Zhao Xunyan looked at the city gate and seemed to have signs of breaching, so he went downstairs with his sword, and appeared on the empty street with his own people and hundreds of elites who had asked Qin Hao, the prince of Dingguo, before, and raised the long sword in his hand: "Prince Zhao Xuanyi, indiscriminately killed the people, killed loyal ministers, killed the first emperor with poisonous schemes, and forced his biological mother to death, everyone will be punished for this son!" Although this king was misunderstood by the previous emperor, he is still willing to kill this traitor for the people of the world, kill! ”
"Kill!"
Hundreds of elites rushed towards the city gate, shouting to the sky, and the people outside the city also had to echo, and began to attack the city gate more violently.
For a time, the blood flowed like a river.
Zhao Xunyan echoed with people in the city, and a deputy general came over: "Old general, let's mobilize soldiers from several other city gates." ”
"No, just in case there is fraud." The old general was experienced, looked at Zhao Xunyan under his eyes, and said coldly: "Take my knife!" ”
"Old General, your body bones"
"Go, get my knife!" The old general said coldly, others had no choice but to get the knife, but the knife was not taken, Lin Qingyu came over.
Old General Yang was stunned when he saw him: "Regent, why are you here." ”
"I'm afraid there's danger at the gates." After Lin Qingyu finished speaking, a person walked out behind him, holding a strangely colored piano in his arms.
"But you're here, what about the palace?" Old General Yang asked hurriedly.
Lin Qingyu said: "Don't worry, Zhao Xunyan is here, I'm still afraid that he won't be able to attack the palace!" ”
Lin Qing's foolish words fell, and the sound of the piano sounded, not like an ordinary and glamorous sound, but an unusually cold sound, which made people tremble.
Zhao Xunyan raised his head suddenly, looked at the people standing on the city tower, gritted his teeth, but sneered: "Lin Qingyu! ”
The corners of Lin Qingyu's mouth hooked. raised his hand and pulled the bow and aimed at Zhao Xunyan's eyebrows.
Zhao Xunyan said, as soon as he gave an order, dozens of soldiers blocked in front of him, and as soon as he slapped his horse, he went directly towards the east city gate.
"Could it be that the East City Gate is his main position?" General Yang was busy, but after thinking about it, there is no shelter in front of the east city gate, if his people are close, it is impossible for us not to notice, then there are only the west city gate near the mountain and the south city gate near the water
Lin Qingyu smiled: "Fortunately, the old general didn't transfer the people from the two city gates back. ”
"But what now?" The old general said busily.
"There's no hurry." Lin Qingyu walked to the other side, seeing that many people below had been controlled, knowing that there were a lot of dead soldiers mixed here, Lin Qingyu took the piano from the woman's hand, sat cross-legged, raised his hand, and there was a burst of murderous energy, and the dead soldiers below actually began to raise their hands and slash indiscriminately!
General Yang was speechless in shock, and hurriedly led his men and soldiers to the south gate and the north city gate in two ways, but what Lin Qingyu didn't tell him was that Zhao Xunyan would never go to these city gates, he would enter the palace, seize the jade seal, and change the edict!
's own trap, if you want to come to Zhao Xunyan, you must not be able to escape, unless
The smile on the corner of Lin Qingyu's mouth became colder and colder, there was no one left and right, and the wind that was rolling under the dark sky seemed to be about to break the branches. But he only raised his ink threads, and the roots were like sharp blades!
Zhao Xunyan came up with a plan to attack the east and west, and went straight to the palace gate, and when he arrived, there was no one in front of the palace gate.
"Master, I'm afraid it's a fraud!" Busy and humane.
Zhao Xunyan strangled the reins, held a sword in one hand, and narrowed his narrow eyes: "Even if there is a trap, you have to go in!" After that, as soon as his legs clamped the horse's belly, he rushed directly into the palace, but along the way, he could see a lot of corpses and blood, but still no living person was seen.
He rode to the front of the main hall, where all the defending Janissaries were absent, and the palace was as quiet as a dead city.
Zhao Xunyan looked at the hundreds of people behind him, looked at their constant frightened looks, and shouted: "Rush with me!" ”
Suddenly, the cries of killing suddenly rose, and they rushed all the way into the supreme hall, but there was still no one inside, not even the palace maids and eunuchs.
Zhao Xunyan looked at the dragon chair, looked at the jade seal, and looked at the plaque of 'Zhengda Guangming', he walked up by ghost, stood in front of the dragon chair, and looked at the hundreds of elites standing below, as if raising his hand. can shout the sound of 'all love Qing Ping', and you can reign over the world and become the king of these thousands of rivers and mountains!
"Master"
"It's called the Emperor!" Zhao Xunyan scolded violently, he seemed to have fallen into some kind of illusion, in his previous life, he was dressed in a yellow robe, hundreds of officials congratulated, and all the subjects of the world cheered for having such a new monarch, he seemed to have returned to that time, he was already the rightful son of heaven, the most noble king in the world!
"The King of Joy seems to be enjoying it." A voice that was almost forgotten by him came out, Zhao Xunyan woke up from his hallucination, and looked again, the hall was already surrounded by black horsemen in armor!
"I didn't expect it to be you, I haven't seen you for a long time, Lao Qi, I'm afraid that Zhao Xuanyi only thinks that you are a waste of love for the landscape." Zhao Xunyan looked at the Seven Princes below, he didn't expect it to be him no matter what.
With a smile on his face, the Seventh Prince only said: "Now I still only love landscapes, but now I have no choice but to come out and catch a traitor for the emperor." ”
Zhao Xunyan grabbed the jade seal placed on the shore and sneered: "Then let's see how you are doing!" ”
After that, the two sides quickly fought, and Zhao Xunyan also worked hard, if he didn't win the throne today, he would also stain this hall with blood, so that the world would always remember him Zhao Xunyan!
