26th Episode: Frost on the Snow (4)
Shen Jiannan rested alone in the room for a whole day, recuperated his spirits, stayed until midnight, while everyone was asleep, he went out of the village alone, and went straight to Dongchang with resentment towards Cao Jixiang.
Came to the East Factory, Shen Jiannan hid under the wall, where the light was the darkest, and if he didn't come to see it, he couldn't see anyone, and the guards who passed by several times didn't find him, and when these guards walked over, Shen Jiannan jumped into the wall, and went straight to Cao Jixiang's bedroom, and once again performed light skills, came to the roof, took off a tile, and looked down along the gap, only to see Cao Jixiang walking back and forth in the house, as if thinking about something.
Shen Jiannan looked at the surroundings and no one around, it was a good opportunity to kill him, and then kicked through the roof tiles, jumped down, did not speak, snapped two palms straight to Cao Jixiang's heart and the two key points of the door, Cao Jixiang saw an assassin on the room, hurriedly dodged, this dodge escaped the attack of Shen Jiannan's first palm, but Cao Jixiang does not know martial arts, this second palm came, Cao Jixiang only flashed half, although it was crooked, but his shoulder had been hit, only to hear the sound of 'Gaba', the shoulder bone has been shattered, and the pain is endless.
Cao Jixiang was horrified, and was about to call someone to save him, but when he looked at it, it was Shen Jiannan, and he hesitated even more in his heart, he couldn't believe it, and asked, "Shen Jiannan?" You really want to kill me, Xue Yuhu, I'm trying to find it, but the time you gave me is too short. ”
Shen Jiannan shouted indignantly: "You don't pretend to be garlic, you know that I didn't kill you for this." ”
"What? If it's not because of this, then there are other reasons, what did I do that caused you to kill me? Cao Jixiang was shocked into a cold sweat.
"Zhao Xiancheng died, he died at the hands of the three elders of the Western Regions and the twin heroes of heaven and earth, do you know?" Shen Jiannan raised his eyebrows and glared angrily.
"What? Is it Zhao Xiancheng, one of the ten brothers? Cao Jixiang asked.
"You don't want to say you don't know." Shen Jiannan's expression was cold, like a torrent, about to explode.
"How would I know?" Cao Jixiang looked confused.
"Here you go, take a look at this." Shen Jiannan said and handed the letter he received that day to Cao Jixiang.
Cao Jixiang opened it and looked at it, and immediately exclaimed, "Who did this, I also received your letter, and we all fell for it." As he spoke, he took the letter he had received.
Shen Jiannan looked at it carefully, the handwriting was obviously written by a person, and he immediately panicked, and sighed: "It seems that the man in black did it again, damn the man in black, who is it." ”
"No, it's possible that you wrote this letter, and you deliberately set up a situation to deceive me." Shen Jiannan's eyes suddenly widened, and he stared at him viciously.
Cao Jixiang was stunned when he was asked, and then he was stunned, and sighed helplessly: "You really wronged me, even if I have the courage, I don't dare to murder His Royal Highness." ”
Shen Jiannan didn't believe what he said at all, and said coldly: "You are very treacherous, very good at acting, I have been deceived by you several times, yesterday in the abandoned garden, the three elders of the Western Regions obviously talked to you, how do you explain?" ”
Cao Jixiang seemed to be at a loss for words, sighed helplessly, and said: "I was obviously deceived by this letter, I don't know what you said about the three elders of the Western Regions, this must be their ghost, pretending to know me, making you think that the main messenger is me, can't you see such an obvious flaw?" ”
"Then why did you leave when the three of us couldn't resist?" Shen Jiannan questioned.
"When I came, I thought it was really you who asked me, so I didn't bring anyone here, and when I arrived and saw them attack you, I went back to call someone." Cao Jixiang said bitterly.
"Then why didn't I see you come back?" Shen Jiannan threw the pit and asked the bottom, it seemed that he couldn't stop until he figured things out.
Cao Jixiang wanted to laugh helplessly, he really asked himself too lazy to answer, and said lazily at the moment: "It's so far away from Dongchang, when I bring the soldiers and come back, you are all gone, it seems that you don't believe what I say, then you just kill me, I can only prove it by death." As he spoke, he took two steps forward and made a posture of waiting for death.
At this moment, Shen Jiannan began to hesitate, hesitating in his heart, he couldn't make up his mind, seeing that Cao Jixiang was willing to die, it seemed that what he said was not fake, it seemed that this traitor was someone else, and sighed helplessly: "Okay, I'll believe you again, but let me ask you, Xue Yuhu, how are you looking?" ”
Cao Jixiang also pinched a cold sweat for himself, in fact, he also gambled, and when he heard Shen Jiannan's words, he smiled secretly in his heart, it seemed that he had won, and this head was saved. Hurriedly said: "Dare to ask Your Highness, are you really sure that he is in the palace?" ”
Shen Jiannan hesitated and said: "I'm not sure, but I heard that the place described by Miss Liu is very similar to the palace, did you go to find it carefully?" ”
Cao Jixiang looked melancholy and said: "Yes, all the brocade guards have been dispatched, as long as they can hide people, they have found it, but there is not even a figure." ”
"I always believe that Xue Yuhu is in the palace, maybe you missed somewhere." Shen Jiannan said hesitantly.
"Ouch!" Cao Jixiang began to have severe pain in his shoulder, his body was already crooked, his expression was ugly, and he said bitterly: "Your Highness, your hand is really too heavy, I'm afraid the old slave's arm will be wasted." ”
Shen Jiannan said lightly: "It's not that serious, it's just a dislocation, I'll help you pick it up." As he spoke, he stepped forward, reached out and grabbed his arm, grabbed his wrist with the other hand, and pulled hard, Cao Jixiang screamed, and his arm was connected.
Cao Jixiang tentatively moved twice, his face showed joy, and said with a smile: "Hey, I can really move, Your Highness is really good at kung fu." ”
Shen Jiannan said: "I still have something to do, so I'll leave." ”
"Your Highness, don't worry, the old slave has already prepared the wine and food, it's better to finish eating before leaving." Cao Jixiang is sincere and strongly demands.
Shen Jiannan sneered: "I don't have anything to say to you, and I can't drink much wine, what's the point." ”
Cao Jixiang repeatedly persuaded him to stay, and said: "Your Highness, it should be regarded as me to make amends for your sins, if you don't drink it, it is difficult to look down on the old anger." ”
Shen Jiannan smiled coldly and said, "I still have something to do, tomorrow is the day of my ninth brother's funeral, and I can't stay here." ”
Cao Jixiang smiled and said: "That's not in a hurry, as long as you rush back tomorrow morning, the old slave promises, send someone to send you back, and it will definitely not delay your business." ”
Shen Jiannan was helpless, he really didn't want to drink his wine, but Cao Jixiang seemed to be gracious, and finally agreed.
Cao Jixiang immediately clapped his hands once or twice, and three or four people came one after another with wine and food, set the table, and the banquet was already made in an instant, and the two sat opposite each other.
Cao Jixiang poured wine for Shen Jiannan and said, "Your Highness, this glass of wine is the old slave respecting you, and when you return to the palace in the future, the old slave still needs your mention." ”
Shen Jiannan picked up the cup, paused for a moment, and said lightly: "Is what Gonggong Cao said too far, I don't have any intention of coming back at all, in addition, Gonggong Cao is really going to woo me, I haven't become a prince yet, are you ready to pull me over to your side?" ”
Cao Jixiang was frightened, put down the wine glass, and said: "Your Highness, don't misunderstand, the old slave has no other meaning, I also know that you don't want to be a prince, and besides, the emperor is now in his prime, and it seems that he still has to be the emperor for a few years, and the old slave I am in my last years, and I don't have a few years to live, how dare I win over anyone, just don't offend anyone in my lifetime."
Shen Jiannan ignored his words completely, raised his wine glass, drank it all, put it down heavily, sighed, remembered many unhappy things in his heart, and then poured another glass.
"Your Highness, this wine is very strong, drink it slowly, drink it slowly!" Cao Jixiang happily reminded.
"It's nothing" Shen Jiannan drank this cup again.
Cao Jixiang saw that he had something on his mind and asked, "Your Highness, do you have something on your mind?" ”
"What can I have on my mind, it's because you think too much." Shen Jiannan said lazily.
"It's good if you don't have it, let's drink." Cao Jixiang smiled faintly, changed the topic, raised his wine glass, and the two drank a few glasses.
Shen Jiannan suddenly felt that his head was a little confused, it should be that the wine was up, he shook his head hard, and said to himself: "Blame me for being greedy again." After a few words, he fell asleep on the table.
Cao Jixiang hesitated, shouted twice, didn't move, smiled knowingly, and then walked in two maids, helped Shen Jiannan up, carried him to the bed, took off his clothes again, covered him with a quilt, and let him sleep well.
"Papapa" Cao Jixiang clapped his hands three times. I saw He Tianshu and Chen Heng walking in from outside, Cao Jixiang casually took Shen Jiannan's clothes and handed them to He Tianshu, with a solemn tone, and said, "You put this on, and then go and prepare." ”
He Tianshu took Shen Jiannan's clothes and put them on his body, Cao Jixiang looked at them carefully, and said with a smile: "Well, it fits very well, it is a little interesting." ”
He Tianshu said: "Then the subordinates will go and prepare." After saying that, he turned around and quit.
Chen Heng said: "Father-in-law, please command." ”
Cao Jixiang hesitated for a while and said, "You go to Yunling Village and do what I say." Then he whispered in Chen Heng's ear for a long time.
Chen Heng smiled knowingly and said, "Please rest assured, my subordinates will do it well." ”
"By the way, you go to Jingxian County, Henan Province to bring me Xu Youdao, the county master, this matter is indispensable to him."
The sky is gradually brightening, and everyone in the villa has gotten up early, because today is the day of Zhao Xiancheng's burial, and everyone has gathered in the compound and began to prepare for the work before the burial, but Shen Jiannan did not come out for a long time, everyone wondered, Zhang Chaofan said angrily: "What's the matter with the fourth brother, he is not active at all, and he has not come out yet." ”
"Did you stay up all night and oversleep?" Hao Changfeng said hesitantly.
"Li Rugui, you go and call it." Ma Yuntian commanded, his tone a little impatient.
Li Ru returned for a long time, turned back in a panic, out of breath, seemed to be running all the way, and said, "The fourth brother is not in the room." ”
The crowd was amazed.
Feng Wanshan hesitated: "Where will he go?" ”
