Chapter 190: Showdown

On this day, an uninvited guest came to the Rui Wang's mansion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The person who came was wearing a long knife, mighty and majestic, and at a glance he knew that he was a person who was crawling and rolling on the battlefield, with resolute eyebrows and frost, and stood straight to the door of the Rui Wang's Mansion, but there was a bit of a bad sense of coming.

The guard guarding the door stopped the big man, but the man said, "Take me to see King Rui." ”

This person has a big breath, but the people in Rui Wang's Mansion are used to it, and even the subordinates are a little arrogant. didn't eat this person's set at all, but said respectfully: "There is no post, Your Highness does not see outsiders." ”

The big man was about to get angry, but he saw a startled voice from inside: "General Shen?" When he walked in, he glared at the guard fiercely, and said respectfully: "General Shen, the subordinates are not sensible, and they still look at Haihan." Your subordinates will take you to meet Your Highness. ”

The guard's eyes widened, probably because Fang wanted to understand who "General Shen" was, and then looked at the other party suspiciously, as if he didn't expect the other party to come at this time.

Shen Xin held his breath, he tossed and turned these days, and every time he remembered his suspicion a few days ago, he couldn't sleep well. I thought that with the passage of time, this matter would gradually fade away, but I didn't expect that the longer it passed, the more difficult it became in my heart.

Shen Xin is a person who doesn't like to mix, once he has any doubts and sleepiness, he must find out clearly, not to mention that this is still a lifelong event related to Shen Miao, so he finally decided to come to Rui Wangfu in person, no matter what the outcome is, he must always find out.

Who knew that when he first arrived, he met a guard who was not long-eyed, which made his already somewhat uneasy heart even more unhappy.

Fortunately, Tie Yi is a sensible and interesting person, and when he saw that Shen Xin seemed to be a little displeased, he changed his way to make him happy, only saying that recently, the whole of King Rui's mansion has been busy with the matter of getting married, in order to let Shen Miao marry in a beautiful scenery and not lose face in Mingqi.

Shen Xin walked all the way with Tie Yi, and sure enough, as Tie Yi said, Rui Wang's Mansion was lit up and down, inside and out, looking very festive, no matter what, the people of Rui Wang's Mansion took this family matter very seriously in their hearts, it was always a comfortable thing, and Shen Xin's heart was much more comfortable.

When he arrived at the door of a house, Tie Yi stopped and said, "Subordinates can't enter His Highness's study, someone has already informed him before, and General Shen can go in directly." ”

Shen Xin thought that what he said to King Rui would be very private later, and it would certainly not be heard by outsiders. If people can't go into the study, it's much more convenient. At the same time, there were some doubts in my heart, King Rui did not allow anyone to enter, but let him go alone, aren't you afraid that you will attack him?

Even though he thought a lot in his heart, Shen Xin's face was still calm, and he raised his feet and walked towards the door after answering the sound, but saw a fluffy white thing suddenly burst out of the door, and when he looked at it, it was a white tiger with hanging eyes, but now his body was still small, and he was about to grow up, and he screamed at him with a milky voice.

Shen Xin almost subconsciously swung his knife and slashed down.

Still Tie Yi immediately stepped forward to take the white tiger away, Shen Xincai took a deep breath, pushed the door and walked in.

In the room, King Rui was sitting on a chair reading a book, his sitting posture was not very upright, he was lazy and lazy, and he flipped through the book even more casually, as if he was just looking at it casually, and he didn't look at it seriously.

Shen Xin frowned: "King Rui?"

Unlike Luo Xueyan, although King Rui kindly asked everyone in the Shen family to call him "Jing Xing", Luo Xueyan did do so, but Shen Xin couldn't get over this hurdle. Men are different from women, women can rely on their own intuition to judge whether a person is friendly or malicious, but men can't rely on intuition, especially Shen Xin, who prefers to do things based on evidence.

King Rui raised his eyes and put the book on the table, Shen Xin saw that it was a military book, or a very obscure military book. Only ordinary veterans can see it, King Rui is only twenty-two years old now, and reading such a book, either he is pretending, or this person is deeply hidden.

Before King Rui came to the door, in Shen Xin's eyes, King Rui was just an idle prince who acted casually and arrogantly because of the name of Emperor Yongle's younger brother, but after competing with Shen Qiu on that day, looking at King Rui again, Shen Xin always felt that this person was not so simple.

Maybe that's what men intuition.

"General Shen will accompany me to play a game of chess. He didn't call him "Master Shen" or other affectionate titles, and he always felt that there were a few different meanings.

Shen Xin said: "I don't know how to play chess. ”

"War chess. King Rui raised his hand to take the chessboard from the other side, put it on the table, gave Shen Xin a jar of white seeds, and kept a jar of black seeds for himself. Said: "General Shen and I take the board as the country, the chess road as the boundary, and the son as the soldier, how about a game?"

As soon as Shen Xin heard about the military affairs, he came to the heart, and then saw that the other party was only young, and for a while he had the displeasure of being despised by others, so he said: "Come on!"

The two of them set up their chess pieces and began to play chess.

Different from Rui Wang's appearance, Rui Wang's chess style surprised Shen Xin, and the other party had an old and ruthless style that was not commensurate with his age. Originally, it is very easy to worry about war chess, and every step must be seriously considered, and the whole body will be affected by one move. But King Rui played chess, but he didn't seem to have any extra time to think, but he played wherever he wanted, very casually. And the seemingly inadvertent fall, take a serious look, but find that the other party is very clever.

Shen Xin's war chess is used to playing well, but compared with Rui Wang, he has frequently fallen behind, Shen Xin even has an illusion, as if he has already played chess with Rui Wang, otherwise, how can Rui Wang seem to know in advance where he will land his next chess piece?

At the end of the game, the ending was naturally not unexpected, it was Shen Xin who lost.

King Rui said: "You lost. ”

Shen Xin waved his hand and said, "Come again!"

"Again, it's the same. Rui Wang said.

"What do you mean?" Shen Xin frowned.

"You lose. He said.

Shen Xin has lived so much, Emperor Wen Hui has to give him enough face on his face, except for Luo Xueyan, no one dares to speak to him like this, and his face immediately turned angry, and he was about to get angry, but he saw King Rui and said lightly: "General Shen came to King Rui's Mansion today, I'm afraid he didn't come to play chess." He pursed his lips and asked, "What's the matter?"

Shen Xin's angry words were blocked in his throat.

King Rui always seems to have a skill, and after provoking people's anger, he will divert the conversation without revealing a trace, as if he didn't say anything just now. This kind of ability is really like a person, that is Lin'an Hou Xie Ding when he was young, whenever Xie Ding and Shen Xin argued, he was always cynical. Shen Xin's personality is honest, and he is always easy to be more serious, but he is turned around by Xie Ding, a bastard.

Suddenly, when he thought of Xie Ding, he thought of the purpose of his coming to King Rui's Mansion today, and when Shen Xin thought of this, he didn't have the heart to be angry with King Rui. He looked squarely into King Rui's eyes, did not let go of the change in the smile on King Rui's expression, and asked slowly: "When you were competing with Shen Qiu in Shen Mansion before, where did you learn the trick of holding the dagger against Shen Qiu's neck?"

Hearing this, King Rui smiled: "General Shen is saying that the dagger locks the throat? I made it so slow, I thought that General Shen could see it clearly, why, do you need me to show General Shen again?"

Shen Xin was stunned for a moment, and his heart suddenly fluttered, King Rui really did it on purpose!

He said that the dagger lock throat that day seemed to be deliberately used slowly, as if he was deliberately letting him see what kind of move it was. Hearing King Rui's admission at this moment, Shen Xin couldn't tell what it was like, but he was more suspicious, and he asked: "You know that it's called a dagger to lock the throat, how did you learn it?"

"It was a long time ago. King Rui said lazily: "Haven't you seen General Shen before?"

Hasn't General Shen seen it before?

Shen Xin's brain "clanged", as if thunder exploded violently in his heart, and every inch of his whole body couldn't help but tremble.

Many years ago, on the streets of Mingqi, he had inadvertently seen the prince of Lin'an Houfu, Xie Ding's son had used this trick on people, and he still thought that Xie Jingxing's trick was much more powerful than his old son.

Now King Rui said, "Hasn't General Shen seen it before?"

King Rui had never been to Ming Qi before! Shen Xin had never seen anyone else do this before!

Shen Xin's heart set off turbulent waves, at this time, he was at a loss for a moment, he didn't know whether he should show surprise or horror, but the other end of his heart was calm, the tossing and turning that he couldn't sleep at night these days was confirmed at this moment, and his suspicion was right.

He asked, "Are you Xie Jingxing?"

King Rui directly took off the mask.

Shen Xin gasped.

The relationship between the Shen family and the Lin'an Hou Mansion has never been good, but because of this, Shen Xin also knows the Lin'an Hou Mansion best. Xie Ding gave birth to a son who seemed to be born to Ke him, Shen Xin also expressed great pleasure, but he secretly admired Xie Jingxing in his heart, and felt that although this young man was a little stubborn, he had a kind of frankness and freedom that the noble son of Dingjing Gaomen did not have.

Therefore, Xie Jingxing's appearance, Shen Xin remembers it clearly.

Now the appearance of the person in front of him is more mature and handsome, but there is still a shadow of the past between his eyebrows and eyes, and Shen Xin understood it in that instant. Some of the things that had been bothering me before seemed to finally have an answer.

He said, "What's going on? Should you explain?"

The tone was like an elder disciplining a junior, and even Shen Xin had a ridiculous illusion at this time, like this, as if he was helping Xie Ding discipline his son?

Xie Jingxing smiled slightly, poured a cup of tea for Shen Xin, and said, "Father-in-law drinks tea and listens slowly." ”

In the next half an hour, Shen Xin heard a shocking secret from Xie Jingxing's mouth that he had never thought of.

Shen Xin never expected that Xie Jingxing would be the prince of Da Liang, with such a bizarre and bumpy life experience, and he didn't expect Xie Jingxing to be so bold and become the wise king of Da Liang, and he would dare to come to Mingqi with such a swagger, he was not afraid of what kind of trouble he would bring to himself once his identity was revealed?

After listening to Xie Jingxing's words, Shen Xin was angry, angry, remorseful, hesitant, and all kinds of complex emotions were intertwined, but he still understood what decision he should make at this time as quickly as possible. He said: "Since you are in this capacity, Jiaojiao can't marry you!"

"Why?" Xie Jingxing asked.

"Your purpose is not just to come to Ming Qi to pay tribute," Shen Xin's words were ruthlessly dissected with the sharpness of everything, and he said: "Da Liang's ambition will not stop here, one day, Da Liang will attack Ming Qi, and at that time, you and we will always meet each other." If Jiaojiao marries you, how will you let her deal with herself? Is it difficult for her to choose between you and Mingqi? Even if I resist the decree or think of other ways, I will not let Jiaojiao be so embarrassed!"

"My father-in-law was too worried. Xie Jingxing smiled indifferently: "She knows my identity, and she understands the situation she is facing better than you." Perhaps, you should think about the relationship between the Shen family and Ming Qi. ”

Shen Xin listened to what he said, frowned, and asked, "What do you mean?"

Xie Jingxing snapped his fingers, his eyes fell on the chess game that had just been played, the remaining chess pieces on the chess game, Shen Xin's white pieces had almost been devoured, but Xie Jingxing's black seeds were still full of plates. Shen Xin lost badly enough, and this chess game didn't look too intense. Xie Jingxing said: "The game of chess I played with my father-in-law just now was played by me and my father-in-law as the royal family of Mingqi. Didn't my father-in-law find anything?"

Shen Xin raised his head sharply and said angrily: "Nonsense!"

"Whether it's nonsense or not, you and I both know it. Xie Jingxing suddenly withdrew the smile on his face, and his lazy expression was suddenly put away, but instead it was a little almost mean sharpness: "What is Ming Qi's attitude towards the Shen family, I don't believe that my father-in-law didn't see it before, in fact, if it weren't for Shen Miao's secret maneuvering, the Shen family would not be able to protect themselves as clearly as they are now." I'm not a bodhisattva-hearted person, but I don't want to see Shen Miao protecting your Shen family alone, but you don't know anything, she is a bad person, just a little girl, I am reluctant. ”

The beard on Shen Xinqi's lips straightened, but he still grasped the key to Xie Jingxing's words and asked, "What's wrong with Jiaojiao? What did you mean by what you just said, tell me clearly!"

"My father-in-law and mother-in-law are stationed in the northwest all day long, and they have the world in mind, so naturally they can't be busy, and they can't take care of Shen Jiaojiao, but I know by luck. Do you think the second and third rooms of the Shen family are a good thing, when you hooked up with Prince Yu and wanted to send Shen Miao to Prince Yu's bed, and give Shen Miao incense in Wolong Temple. How did Shen Yuan die? How did Ren Wanyun go crazy? How did Shen Gui and Shen Wan have an accident? Jing Chuchu and Jing Guansheng ....... The Shen family calculated, and Shen Miao forgot it. The Ming Qi royal family has never cared about your head. ”

"Do you think that when you retreated to Xiaochun City, who was circling in it, Su Yu of the Su family suddenly came forward and beat the emperor to open the net?

He looked at Shen Xin's stiff expression and said sarcastically: "Two years ago, my father-in-law's class teacher returned to the dynasty, coinciding with the birthday of Old Lady Shen, and the Shen family ancestral hall was on fire, but Shen Miao personally burned it? In order to let you recognize the ambition of the Shen family? She used her life to admonish and comfort, General Shen, do you dare to say that you can still protect her from safety?"

Shen Xinru was struck by lightning.

These things, since he and Luo Xueyan returned to Dingjing one by one, he also suspected that something was wrong, but every time he found out the back, he couldn't find out why, and then there were many matters in the military department, and he didn't have much time to dwell on them, so he left them behind.

Shen Miao didn't mention it, so Shen Xin ignored it, and now from Xie Jingxing's mouth, Shen Xin couldn't tell whether he was shocked or angry in his heart, and he was speechless.

"The second and third rooms of the Shen family have come to this point, all of them are Shen Miao's plans, and General Shen doesn't blame her for being ruthless, if she weren't like this, I'm afraid that the grave grass will be more than a foot high. Xie Jingxing said sarcastic words in his mouth, but the sharper his eyes became, almost breathless, he said: "My father-in-law may be a good general for the people of the world, but I think it is not the case for Shen Miao." I don't know why she is responsible for these things alone, just like she owes the Shen family. However, in my opinion, General Shen is not a good father, but the Shen family is very lucky to raise Shen Miao's daughter. ”

"She's in charge of you, trying in every possible way to keep the Shen family, Ming Qi's royal family is also the person she has to deal with in the future, General Shen is now saying that Shen Miao will be embarrassed by this, I don't understand," he said coldly, mockingly: "Do you really know Shen Miao?"

Shen Xin sat on the chair, but at this moment, he suddenly felt shameless.

"On the contrary, although my friendship with Shen Jiaojiao is not very deep, we have shared weal and woe together. I have heard the good nights together, and we have made suggestions at night. I saved her life and saved her from danger. Xie Jingxing said: "Why can't I marry her?"

Shen Xin's heart suddenly gave birth to infinite exhaustion. The Shen Miao in Xie Jingxing's mouth was unfamiliar and unfamiliar to him. Together with the things that Shen Miao experienced, he was completely unaware. As Xie Jingxing said, he thinks he loves his daughter, but he can't even do the initial understanding. So what has he done over the years?

He looked at the remaining chess games on the table for a long time, and looked at it for a long time, until his eyes began to sour, and then he said softly: "Tell me everything." ”

"You know, tell me everything about Jiaojiao. ”

......

When Pei Lang woke up, he was in a strange place. There were many well-dressed maids around him who served him with medicine. Pei Lang's memory of before he fell unconscious only stayed in the dungeon of Dingwang's Mansion, and a black-clothed masked man rescued him from the fire. Maybe it saved him, because he's still alive now.

He didn't know who the man who saved him was, or why he wanted to save him. asked the maids around him who came to serve him to drink medicine, only to know that this was the Rui Wang's Mansion.

Pei Lang faintly sensed that there might be some friendship between Shen Miao and King Rui, but he didn't know where the two had gone. He thought that King Rui would naturally not take him in for no reason, and if he did, it must be because of Shen Miao. Shen Miao didn't give up on herself, and when she thought of this, Pei Lang's heart moved slightly.

It seems that everything that insists on is worth it at this moment, although Pei Lang doesn't understand where his inexplicable idea comes from.

As he was thinking, the door of the room was opened, and a young man walked in from outside, carrying a medicine box on his back, and sat down in front of him, as if to take his pulse.

Pei Lang didn't look at it seriously at first, thinking that this was the doctor invited by the Rui Wangfu, but when he saw the doctor's appearance clearly, he was slightly stunned at first, and then shouted: "Imperial Doctor Gao!"

His movements were too big, involving the wounds on his body, and he couldn't help but gasp with a "hiss". Gao Yang hurriedly pressed his wound and said, "Don't be so surprised, be careful of pulling the wound." ”

Pei Lang looked at Gao Yang, and many thoughts were churning in his heart. Gao Yang is the youngest doctor in Tai Hospital, and no one can say that he is a skilled doctor. However, the royal family loves this young imperial doctor very much, probably because he is very good at talking, and often makes Emperor Wenhui feel very happy, plus he is handsome and handsome, in the eyes of the concubines, he is much more pleasing to the eyes than those bad old men in the imperial hospital.

Since he is the imperial doctor in the palace, he will not treat people outside the palace for no reason, not to mention that this is still the Rui Wang's Mansion. Pei Lang's first thought was that King Mo Feirui borrowed Gao Yang from Emperor Wen Hui for him, but this idea was quickly denied by Pei Lang. Although Dingjing's doctor with excellent medical skills cherishes it, Gao Yang is not the only one, and King Rui does not need to find Gao Yang to alarm the royal family.

Then the second possibility is that Gao Yang and Rui Wang have some friendship in private.

This may be really shocking, he raised his eyes to look at Gao Yang, his eyes were a little suspicious, but there was a gentle smile on his face and said, "Why is Imperial Doctor Gao here?"

Gao Yang took Pei Lang's pulse and said, "King Rui summoned me to come over to see you, and I came over." He finished checking the pulse and said, "It's almost stabilized." However, King Ding tortured your legs before, and your legs hurt your muscles and bones, and I have to give you needles, otherwise your legs will be useless in a short time. ”

Pei Lang was stunned, Fu Xiuyi was extremely cruel to him, and seemed to hate the person who betrayed him very much, although he didn't want his life, he probably didn't want to keep him. So he didn't care much about the mutilation, in fact, if someone hadn't rescued him in that fire, according to Fu Xiuyi's words, his kneecaps would have been dug out in the next few days.

Hearing Gao Yang speak at this moment, Rao is Pei Lang has always been calm, and he can't help but feel the feeling of the rest of his life after the catastrophe in his heart.

"Fu Xiuyi is really ruthless," Gao Yang took out a row of golden needles from the medical box, asked Gao Yang to do it, pulled up his trouser legs, and began to slowly administer needles to him, while saying: "I can't see that he is so ruthless from the outside." ”

Pei Lang's heart moved, whether Gao Yang was a courtier of Ming Qi or a doctor who treated the royal family, but he actually called King Ding's name, not only that, but when he talked about Fu Xiuyi, there was no trace of respect in his tone, as if he was commenting on someone who didn't matter. Yu Gaoyang's identity is not only not cautious, but ...... It's kind of weird.

Gao Yang didn't raise his head, he concentrated on applying needles to Pei Lang, and suddenly said, "Do you want to ask, what kind of friendship do I have with King Rui?"

Pei Lang paused, and then smiled: "Imperial Doctor Gao is willing to tell you?"

"I'll tell you the truth, I'm the one of King Rui. "Gao Yang Road.

This time, Pei Lang didn't say anything, he was surprised by Gao Yang's identity, but what surprised him the most was that Gao Yang told him the secret so unabashedly. What is Gao Yang now, the spy sent to Ming Qi by Da Liang? What is the purpose of lurking in the Ming Qi royal family, poisoning Emperor Wen Hui?

Or was he simply bought by King Rui and rebelled?

"Are you surprised, why should I tell you such a big secret?" Gao Yang continued as if he could guess what Pei Lang was thinking.

"Not bad. Pei Lang said frankly: "I really don't understand. ”

"What's so difficult about this?" Gao Yang smiled: "There is a fire in the Dingwang Mansion, after the fire is extinguished, Fu Xiuyi will send someone to look for the bones, and if you can't find your bones, Fu Xiuyi is not a fool, he will know that someone saved you." The man who saved you also set fire to his dungeon. This account Fu Xiuyi naturally wants to be counted on your head. provoked the Dingwang Mansion, only the Rui Wangfu in Ming Qi can protect you, whether you want to or not, you are tied to the Rui Wangfu, since this is the case, they are all their own people, what secrets can't be said?" Gao Yang raised his head, smiled at Pei Lang and said, "We are all grasshoppers on the same boat?"

Pei Lang didn't know what happened and was forcibly tied together, and what did he say about "grasshoppers on a boat", he was not depressed in his heart, nor was he depressed. However, he quickly grasped the key to Gao Yang's words, and said, "You set the fire in the Dingwang Mansion?"

Gao Yang: "Of course. ”

Pei Lang gasped, the dungeon can be regarded as the most important place in the entire Dingwang Mansion, and the people who are locked up are also very useful to Fu Xiuyi, and they are burned clean by a fire, Pei Lang can guess the raging anger in Fu Xiuyi's heart. There are still people in the world who dare to do this, Gao Yang is right, in the entire Dingjing City, the only thing that can make Fu Xiuyi jealous is the Rui Wangfu, and only the Rui Wangfu can protect him.

Pei Lang hesitated, but still asked the question he wanted to ask the most: "Did King Rui save me?"

"Otherwise, who has such a great ability to save you out. Gao Yang said: "No one dares to take this risk." ”

"But why did he save me?" Pei Lang asked tentatively, "Is it because someone else asked him to do this?" He didn't know if Gao Yang knew about Shen Miao, so he didn't dare to say Shen Miao's name, for fear of causing trouble to Shen Miao.

Gao Yang glanced at him meaningfully, a golden needle pierced his knee, Pei Lang frowned slightly, and only heard Gao Yang say: "Yes, because of our princess." ”

"Princess?" Pei Lang was stunned: "Princess Rui?" He had never heard of any princess of King Rui, and he didn't know what kind of friendship Princess Rui had with him, so he asked: "Why does Princess Rui ......?"

"It's probably because I had a teacher-student friendship with you. Gao Yang smiled thoughtfully: "After all, Princess Rui was your student." ”

Pei Lang: "She is ......"

"Shen Miao. ”
