"What did you say?"

King Jin really changed his face this time, and after getting Tang Lao's affirmative answer, he sat there for a while and couldn't move. He knew very well that although there seemed to be a lot of Qingke staff around him, Zhenlou encountered a major event, but only Tang Lao, who had been with him since he got married and opened the mansion, was the real mastermind, and the others could only work together to make a small point. And Tang Lao is also worthy of his respect and reputation, and every time at those critical moments, he can always get some news that even he doesn't know.

"What does Tang Lao mean is that this strange movement outside now, maybe it is, maybe someone is plotting against his father?"

Speaking of this, Tang Lao refused to say more, and nodded slightly. Seeing that King Jin was restless, he simply stood up with a table in the end, and looked at him with blazing eyes, he couldn't help but light up his eyes, thinking that King Jin had made a decision. However, to his great surprise, King Jin suddenly took two steps back, and then slammed him to the ground.

"Your Highness...... Your Highness, what are you doing here! ”

Tang Lao hurriedly stepped forward and helped King Jin with both hands, but his heart inevitably sank. But King Jin didn't understand these at all, but held Tang Lao's hands, his face was full of sincerity and solemnity: "Tang Lao, you have helped me for many years and know my sexuality." Now my heart is already in turmoil, and I don't know if this news is true or false, at the moment of curfew, in case someone catches the handle, but it is not possible to blindly nest in the house...... I also asked Mr. Tang to help me get an idea, no matter what you say, I will follow it. ”

If it was the King of Jin who entrusted him so with such a golden heart on weekdays, Tang Lao would only be happy that his lord had the wisdom to know people, however, at this time, he had already made it clear to this part, but King Jin was unable to make a decision, and he also pushed this matter on his head, but he couldn't help but be disheartened for a while. However, seeing that look of trust that was the same as in normal days, he had no choice but to fold his spirit and say, "In this case, I will ask the chief of the commission to carefully select the elite twenty people of the palace to go out of the palace in four groups to investigate." ”

"Well, that's what you say!"

King Jin did not hesitate this time, and immediately summoned someone to order. When the little guy left, he had to ask Zheng Lao for warmth, and when he learned that the person had not fallen asleep at that time and was still sorting out the paperwork there, he said a lot of flattering words. He has always been good at dealing with literati and artists, even if Tang Lao was in a bad mood just now, he gradually smiled a little by him. However, just when the two of them were in high spirits during the candlelight night conversation, an abrupt voice came from outside.

"Your Highness, Mr. Tang, it's been half an hour, and none of the people sent out have come back."

King Jin couldn't maintain this gentle attitude anymore, Huo Di stood up and hurried out.

When he got outside, he saw the little guy who reported the news crying and mourning, and he immediately asked, "How can it be that no one has come back, and no one has gone out to inquire at the door?" Also, have you ever heard anything outside? ”

"Back to His Royal Highness, Chief Jin personally guarded the door, and later called two little guys to go out to investigate, but none of them came back, and he immediately ordered the door to be locked and no one was allowed to go out. As for the outside...... There seemed to be a sound of exclamation and screaming before, and there was a faint ...... There was also the ringing of the bowstring. ”

As soon as the words fell, the little guy saw that King Jin's face was pale, and he actually slammed his fist on the door, so frightened that he took a step back and lowered his head, and didn't dare to say anything again. After a while, he saw Tang Lao go out, and saw that the king of Jin made an angry gesture to him, and he immediately hurriedly retreated as if he had been amnestied. Only walked to the gate of the courtyard, but he had an extra heart, and stood there and probed his head for a long time, and when he was sure that he should not summon himself again, he suddenly heard a dispute in the house, and after a while, he saw Tang Lao coming out of the house angrily, and immediately stood there without moving. Faced with this scene, he was about to slip away, but unexpectedly, a loud shout suddenly came from inside.

"Someone!"

At the door of the house, Tang Lao, who was standing under the eaves, watched the little guy hurriedly come in again, bowed apologetically when he passed by him, and then entered the door.

"Your Highness, since those people have not returned, it is enough to see that the outside world is not going well now. If the emperor is in control of the overall situation, even if he feels that His Royal Highness and these people are not at the right time, he will either directly send the guards to guard the gates on all sides, or he will call someone back to inform him, and he will definitely not be so quiet. Now the plan is to gather all the royal palace guards and form a team to break through, whether it is to Shuntian Mansion, whether it is the North City Soldiers and Horses Division, the West City Soldiers and Horses Division, or even the Outer Imperial City to patrol the red shop, you can't sit still. ”

"Old Tang, the person who just went out has no news at all, and rashly sending someone out at this time is nothing more than sending someone to death! The top priority is to guard our house immediately, otherwise if something happens here, there will be no future! ”

Thinking of King Jin's tough tone at that moment, he walked to the feet of Tang Lao at the gate of the courtyard for a moment, then turned his head to look at the room over there, and then stretched out his hand and leaned on the door frame, naturally sighing deeply.

"Your Highness, this is not the time to be cautious!"

The originally dim and dark alley in front of the Mirror Garden was now tied with a pine resin torch every dozen steps. Each torch was deeply rooted in the ground, but there was no one to be seen beside the torches. It's just that behind the opposite wall, you can faintly hear some voices that know about Cuicui, and you can even see that there seems to be a figure on the high wall.

Because of this, lying on the door of the east and west corners and observing the small people outside through the small window, the news came in, coupled with the shouting of the few people who had just come in, although Qin Hu finally killed one person and captured two people, he still didn't dare to act rashly. On the battlefield, the combination of firearms and cavalry proved to be a sharp weapon against Meng Yuan, but in a place like Jingshi, if fire was used to attack, the consequences could be said to be unimaginable. So at this moment, he could only hold the handle of the knife with his hand.

"Tiger Master...... Madame came out. ”

"Damn it!"

Qin Hu scolded angrily, but when the family stared at him, he remembered that this was easy to cause misunderstanding, but he didn't have time to explain, so he directly ordered to look left and right, and then slowly retreated. When he saw Chen Lan, who was wearing a hat, walking out of the west side gate under the support of Changdi and red tassels, he immediately walked a few steps to meet him.

"Madam, it's all my past......"

"Don't say such frustrating words, who doesn't know that you, the Hercules, are the number one warrior under Shuquan?" Seeing that Qin Hu's face was red when he heard this, Chen Lan glanced at the people who were surrounded by people, and said, "The current situation is no wonder for you. You tell them to make a way, and then they all retreat to the west gate, and I will take the long dysprosium and the red tassel and speak. ”

"But Madame, in case these wicked people go mad......"

"If that's the case, it's naturally fate, but ......" Chen Lan paused slightly, then took a deep breath, and a confident smile appeared on his face, "I believe that if I want to compare my life, I won't lose to anyone!" ”

"It's ......, it's just that I'm guarding the west gate, if they dare to do anything, I can't spare them!"

After Qin Hu said this, he stepped forward to dispatch. Although many people were quite hesitant, they all heard and saw the clamor of these black-clothed people just now and the situation on the street outside, so they all chose to obey With the orderly exit of a group of people, only the corpse lying on the ground was left in the huge courtyard, and the remaining three black-clothed people didn't even care that before Qin Hu left, they carried away their two captives one by one.

Seeing that Chen Lan was only walking slowly with two handmaidens in military uniforms, the black-clothed man in the center made a gesture, and the other two bowed slightly and withdrew separately. Faced with this situation, Chen Lan couldn't help but pause, but immediately after that, a voice came from the opposite side that she couldn't forget.

"The county lord is not harmed?"

Almost instantly, Chen Lan gestured to make Changdi and Hongying stop for the time being, and then slowly stepped forward, but stopped three steps away from the person, his face was calm and he didn't say a word. Sure enough, she could hold back, but the person opposite clearly didn't have such good patience, and immediately lowered her voice again, and said slowly: "On that day, the poor nun once said that he would ask the county lord to take a look at the real work, but the county lord refused, but I don't know if you regret it now......"

As soon as the words fell, the master of Longquan Nunnery suddenly took a few steps forward, seeing that Chen Lan did not move at all, she smiled slightly, and flicked her wide sleeve slightly, and her right hand, which was originally shrunk in her sleeve, moved, and a bright blade was against Chen Lan's waist. Seeing that Changdi and Hongying on the other side seemed to sense something, and seemed to rush over at any time, she was still calm.

"County lord, the poor nun just wants to say a few words."

There was no need to look back, Chen Lan also knew that Chang Di and Red Tassel must have seen something, and Qin Hu, who was not far away, would not ignore his situation at this time, and immediately shouted in a deep voice: "Don't move!" Putting down these words, she looked at the owner of Longquan Nunnery who was close at hand, and said in a low voice, "What does the owner of the nunnery want, just say it." ”

"What do you want?" The owner of Longquan Nunnery put down the hood with his left hand disapprenosingly, revealing his bare head, and immediately looked at Chen Lan directly, "Before you came to Longquan Nunnery, I had heard of you. There are many wealthy families in the capital, not to mention that you are a weak daughter with no father and mother, and you are not as good as those daughters who are cared for by their fathers and brothers. But you're smart enough and cautious enough to never miss out when it's time to show your abilities, and you can seize opportunities when you encounter them, so you have the scenery you have today. It's just that in this world, these are not enough, you are not ruthless enough! ”

Seeing that Chen Lan was unmoved, she didn't think she was angry, but smiled: "Do you think I'm asking you to kill people and sell goods?" The so-called ruthlessness is just to say that there will be no mercy when it is time to be ruthless. When Lin Changhui fights the world, he can call all the generals brothers, and when he rules the world, he can also drink and talk with Brother Mu, but as time goes by, he can still make up his mind to cut off future troubles, which is the so-called Holy Lord Mingjun decisive killing. When he first conquered the world, Hu Chunhua could give his rations to the sergeants, and Yu Yigan's concubine was also kind and kind, but after arriving in the world of mothers, she was able to imprison her husband and force the imperial concubine and concubine to death, which is the so-called virtuous queen. As for the current emperor, he is very kind to you when he uses you, and he abandons you when he doesn't need you, Lu Yiyun's fate is a lesson from the past. ”

Although she had long been suspicious and wary of the master of Longquan Nunnery, but listening to him call the names of Taizu and Empress Gao without respect, and listening to his arbitrary accusations against the emperor, Chen Lan couldn't help but smile bitterly secretly If she was ruthless, shouldn't she have kept it secretive in order to prevent things from getting bigger, and she should have sent someone to uproot this Longquan Nunnery master a long time ago? As for the so-called king's favor, there are very few long-lasting examples, and even if she knew, she could only choose to cling to it for now, nothing more.

"The owner of the nunnery saw me with great fanfare, just to warn these things?"

"All the glory of your husband is given by the emperor, what if the emperor is not there one day? What if one day the emperor no longer trusts him? Or maybe one day, when your husband has a happy time? Just looking at the present and not blaming the future, you are not a wise man! ”

Speaking of this, a certain manic light gradually flashed in the eyes of the master of Longquan Nunnery, and he didn't notice Chen Lan's disapproval: "I thought that I was too stupid at the beginning. Brother Mu married the eldest princess of Ning Guo, and I became a monk in anger, but Lin Changhui gave me Longquan Nunnery, and I thought he was a lover. After Brother Mu committed suicide with medicine, the news came from the palace that the eldest princess of Ning Guo and her widow died one after another. I was full of anger, and I kept thinking about revenge in the stars until I received her deathbed, and the baby child, and I knew that I was inferior to her after all. She strangled a child when she killed herself, but she quietly gave me the real child...... I didn't expect that the person who believed in me in the end turned out to be my jealous and hated rival! ”

At this moment, Chen Lan only felt like a thunderbolt in his head, and even used great strength to stand up straight. Since she knew the turning point of history, she knew that she was not the only one in this world, so she was cautious in her words and deeds and did not dare to show any deeds, however, if it was really according to what the master of Longquan Nunnery said, it was a person more than a hundred years ago, but now she still looks like this, is there really immortality in this world? She clenched her fists all at once, but her breathing inevitably became heavy.

However, the master of Longquan Nunnery did not stop at all, as if to prevent her from running away, one hand actually grabbed her sleeve: "Does the county lord believe in gods and Buddhas?" ”

Without waiting for Chen Lan to answer, she said to herself: "I took refuge in Buddhism and recited the scriptures in front of the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha for ten years, but I didn't believe it at all. But Brother Mu is such an amazing person, but he believes in gods and Buddhas. He even made a devout donation of a Buddha statue when he visited Longquan Nunnery. During that stay, he told me in a trance that if there was no heavenly god or Buddha to give him a second life. He was in a third-rate university, although I didn't understand, but that night, he chanted a sweet water song, and soon after he returned, the stone carvings of the imperial court arrived, but only the first four sentences. ”

Listening to these words, Chen Lan gradually clenched his hands unconsciously. For her second life, she was also shocked and hesitated, but in the face of the pressure of survival, she chose to fight for survival wholeheartedly, and never even had time to think about what gods and Buddhas, what beliefs.

Therefore, the description of Mu Huan by the owner of Longquan Nunnery made her see a colleague who was far more real than she imagined. That person will also hesitate, and he will also be at a loss, and even believe in gods and Buddhas because of his own experience.

So, without waiting for Longquan Nunnery to say more, she took a deep breath and immediately said: "If the master of the nunnery said so, you have achieved immortality after more than a hundred years, and you should have seen everything a long time ago, if so, why fight in the world?" ”

"Immortality..."How can there be immortality in this world!" The master of Longquan Nunnery grabbed Chen Lan's clothes, and his voice was as low as coming from the Nine Hells, "A drink and a peck, it is not predetermined, I vomited blood and died in front of the stone carving, and when I woke up in this life, I was still in front of the stone carving, but I was replaced by another poor woman!" Do you know who she is? Her father was imprisoned to death today, and her brother said that he was imprisoned in Sinei, but they all died violently, and one of her married daughters was taken out of her husband's family and lived incognito in the nunnery...... But they have encountered such a tragedy in two lives, and you still let me see it? Do you think I'm just saying this to you in a moment of anger? When you hear all this, you think it's all in vain? ”

The more the master of Longquan Nunnery confided, the more fearful Chen Lan was in his heart. At this moment, seeing that the other party had not hesitated to reveal her dual identities, she cautiously glanced at the long dysprosium and red tassel behind her with the corner of her eye. Now Changdi's hand is always tightly clasped around her waist, and she is trying to balance her breathing, but her voice is still steady.

"There are many people in the world who have strange grievances, and the owner of the nunnery is certainly one of them, but are there still few people who are killed for their own selfishness? As the emperor, King Wu will choose to rebel, and then hang himself, there is always someone to instigate, right? Dongchang Hou's family is up and down six. "I don't think everyone in the family will die, right? Zhang Lao passed away mysteriously, he won't get rid of the word conspiracy, right? There are even King Huai, Mother Qian, and countless other innocent people......,... Master of the nunnery, you yourself have a great hatred and injustice, do everyone else deserve to die! This time, she did not lower her voice, but deliberately gradually raised her voice, and then there was a faint sound of gold and stone in the words. Seeing that the muscles on the face of the owner of Longquan Nunnery twitched more and more, and her eyes became extremely fierce, she did not give up at all, and said word by word: "I just pity the master of the nunnery, who is full of good scheming!" ”

As soon as Chen Lan said this, the master of Longquan Nunnery finally couldn't hold back anymore, and in a flash, he suddenly raised his hand, "The sword light in the palm of his finger is like that." And in an instant, Chen Lan, who had been waiting for the opportunity to get out of trouble, sank his waist and turned over, and the short sword that had been hidden deep in his sleeve was finally revealed, "Firmly and firmly stood up to the angry knife of the master of Longquan Nunnery." Although she had been gathering momentum for a long time, she was still stumbled by the force, but in a hurry, she squatted down slightly and swept her legs, and sure enough, the other party was caught off guard and was tripped by her. When it was too late, taking advantage of this rare opportunity, she suddenly grabbed one of the arms of the master of Longquan Nunnery with her left hand, and then raised her sword with her left hand, and actually knocked down her short knife with a split hand.

At this moment, although the red tassel and the long dysprosium were about to rush forward to help, the two black-clothed men who were just a few steps away also rushed over. Before the two of them could get close, they only heard a loud shout, and then they saw two black shadows in front of them. Despite their extreme reactions, one was hit in the head and the other in the shoulder. And at this moment, two short arrows followed, and the two of them were hit again in a flash.

Glimpsing that Qin Hu, who had just thrown two tiles and smashed people, had already rushed over, Changdi hurriedly stepped forward to face Chen Lan. After all, she is well-trained" and regardless of the crazy appearance of the owner of Longquan Nunnery, she directly flew up and hit her waist obliquely. Unexpectedly, this was supposed to be a blow that could make the strong man fall, but it only made the master of Longquan Nunnery stagger back, but it was Chang Di who held down his foot at once" and then jumped up, and suddenly held a short arrow against the throat of the master of Longquan Nunnery. Just when Chen Lan was blocked by the red tassel that rushed forward, she saw the master of Longquan Nunnery staring at her tightly, and suddenly laughed again.

"Good, good! Sure enough, it is worthy of being anxious, first came out in a big way, but still retained the power of self-preservation, I saw you wrong! I wanted to drag you, the person who knows the Sweet Water Song, to go with me, but in the end, you avoided it the next year. I might as well say one more thing to you later, after so many years, it has been bloody every time, and this time is no exception, without me, there are still others! I've already died once, so what's the point of dying a second time? ”

As soon as the words fell, she took the initiative to go up to the short arrow of Changdi. Although Changdi was startled and hurriedly withdrew her hand, it was too late, seeing that the other party's laughter turned into a painful whimper, she then retreated and collapsed to the ground, and after a while, she couldn't help but look at Chen Lan a little helplessly, and then her hand shook, and the blood-stained short arrow fell to the ground.

"Madame, I,"

Before she finished speaking, Qin Hu had already stepped forward and squatted down to try the snort of the master of Longquan Nunnery, then turned his head and said, "Madam, I'll take someone to take a look outside immediately!" ”

Chen Lan nodded stiffly, and when Qin Hu left in a hurry, Hongying also came over and held her arm, she felt that all the strength of her body had been exhausted, and even her feet gradually trembled, and she couldn't move at all. She didn't know how long it had been before she heard a call coming from beside her.

"County Lord, County Lord!" Eunuch Fang couldn't help but let out a long breath when he saw that Chen Lan's originally sluggish eyes had finally improved, and then said with a smile, "The little one just heard about this situation, he was really scared to death, if it weren't for the fact that he would have stopped him desperately after receiving the information, the seventh master would have come over almost immediately." What do you think now, if you want to say that you are really a heroine in the middle of the woman, although Eunuch Fang followed with a lot of flattery, Chen Lan only felt tired, and he could only take it slightly, even if he had answered. Only when she walked to the west gate with the support of the two maidservants, she couldn't help but glance back again at the cold corpse of the owner of Longquan Nunnery lying on her back, but her mood was still agitated and difficult to calm down.

The fire attack outside seemed to be a bluff now, and things should have subsided completely, but why didn't she notice any relief and pleasure?
