Chapter 308: Leave early
"Ouch, it's not me who said, it's a little ugly, Shopkeeper Shen is also a temperamental person, this business, peace is precious, even if Lord Zhao has a weird temper, he also clearly refused."
Tut-tut, Shopkeeper Cui admired it in his tone.
"Shopkeeper Shen is not the kind of person who compromises, so he is ready to cooperate with others, although he ...... That position is not very good, but it can barely be settled, so even if Lord Zhao regrets it now and wants to cooperate again, Shopkeeper Shen has to reconsider the conditions of cooperation. β
"Before, Shopkeeper Shen was sincere, and he might have thought of giving Lord Zhao an extra point, but now he is ...... with another head Oh, don't talk about it, anyway, if Lord Zhao repents, I'm afraid that the current conditions are not as good as before, why do you say this? β
The shopkeeper Cui said as he walked to the side of the bed and lay down, Dong listened in a fog, but she also knew that Cui Wang Bastard didn't say the key point, so she hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
"Don't sleep, tell me what's wrong with the other end?"
It's a pity that no matter how Dong asked, the shopkeeper Cui was lying on the bed, like a dead pig, and there was no response.
When Dong couldn't help but want to pull the ears of the shopkeeper Cui, what responded to her was a burst of snoring, and the angry Dong slapped the shopkeeper Cui on the shoulder.
"Damn! Sleep, sleep, sleep, drink to death! β
complained, Dong knew that it was useless to be anxious, and although he didn't hear the key points, just hearing this, it should be enough to go back and tell the eldest brother.
So he glared at the shopkeeper Cui hatefully, but he still couldn't bear to let people hang out, so he moved the person back to bed with difficulty to sleep, took off his boots again, and then tore off the quilt and covered him.
didn't hold back, and pinched the ear of the shopkeeper Cui: "I really owe you!" β
After saying that, he went out of the house.
When the door closed, the shopkeeper Cui who was lying on the bed opened his eyes, although his face was full of alcohol, his eyes were quite clear, and he rubbed his ears that were pinched by Dong and smiled.
"Hard mouth and soft heart, my lady still loves me a lot, it's a pity, I really can't be the master of this matter, my eldest brother should learn a lesson......"
After speaking, he turned around directly, and now he really fell asleep with his eyes closed, perhaps because he pinched Master Dong in turn, and when the shopkeeper Cui slew, the corners of his mouth were bent.
β¦β¦
The candle flame flickered.
It may be that there is still water in the oil lamp, and from time to time there is a crackling sound that makes the room quiet.
Yue Lingjun glanced out the window, grabbed the waist of Shen Yingniang, who had taken off her coat and went to bed, and held the person in her arms, her eyes were full of reluctance, but she still said in an apologetic tone.
"Lady, I'll ...... tomorrow It's time to leave for the trip, and you have to do it a day in advance. β
Shen Yingniang's eyes really changed, and she asked angrily and annoyed.
"Why? Didn't you say that there were three days? It's only the next day, so why a day earlier? You don't want to see me so much? β
Shen Yingniang said angrily, pushed Yue Lingjun away, and hatefully left a back for the other party.
Seeing this, Yue Lingjun sighed, but he didn't forcibly bring the person back again, just explained.
"Lady, I know it's me who is wrong, I can't bear you, I really can't bear it, but today's thing ......"
"Is it because of the shadow guards?" Shen Yingniang turned around and stared at Yue Lingjun with a straight gaze and asked.
Yue Lingjun didn't deny it, after all, the matter was in front of him, it was useless to deny it, and his mother was so smart, there was no need to lie to her about this kind of thing.
And after today's incident, Yue Lingjun was also very worried about Shen Yingniang, Liang Zi was settled, and he had to let the lady know some information, so Yue Lingjun nodded.
"That's right, it's because of them, but more importantly, because of what you said today, although it sounds like venting your anger, but if you think about it carefully, it makes sense, I think the royal shadow guard is afraid that something is really wrong."
When he said this, Yue Lingjun's eyes were full of solemnity, which showed that what he said was not a trivial matter.
Yue Lingjun's expression was serious, Shen Yingniang was not good at playing a little temper anymore, she also knew that what Yue Lingjun was going to leave could not be changed, and it was pointless to advance or postpone it a day, the main thing was that she was reluctant to let Yue Lingjun leave......
But now because of the intervention of those assassins, to be honest, Shen Yingniang is also afraid that Yue Lingjun will have safety problems, and if she returns to the capital early, maybe those people can be more restrained, otherwise the longer the time drags on, the more dangers on the road will be.
You have to let Yue Lingjun leave the road quickly, and he can change his route at any time, even if it takes more time to return to Beijing by taking the trail, it is better than having all the assassins on the road.
Before, Yue Lingjun talked about the affairs of the capital, including the things he was targeted, in a flat tone, and Shen Yingniang only thought at most that Yue Lingjun's existence might have violated the interests of some people, so she would collectively squeeze Yue Lingjun out of the capital.
Now it seems that he is still too naΓ―ve to think about it, where is Yue Lingjun's experience just so simple as squeezing out? Look, I'm just about to go back to the capital, and there will be assassins coming to chase and kill me soon, and I don't know how dangerous it will be after returning to the capital.
Shen Yingniang's mood was a little heavier, and she couldn't help but pull Yue Lingjun's arm.
"What's wrong?"
Finding that something was wrong with Shen Yingniang, Yue Lingjun came back to his senses and glanced at the lady, and Shen Yingniang pinched Yue Lingjun's arm.
"What's wrong with you, when you talked about the capital before, you always understated it, I thought you were just having a holiday with those people, and Lu Xuanqing too, and I didn't make it clear, I knew that the capital was so dangerous, I wouldn't agree to let you go!"
Yue Lingjun's heart was warm, but he had to go back, so he could only take Shen Yingniang in his arms and comfort him.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine, since the emperor has to let me go to the frontier to resist foreign enemies, then he will clear the way for me, and these assassins today are exceptions."
"On the way back, I will definitely be careful, as long as it is not a hundred or thousands of people, I can run, not to mention, you have also seen the skills of those shadow guards, it is still good."
Shen Yingniang snorted coldly, pushed Yue Lingjun away, and sat up straight again.
"Don't mention those shadow guards to me, the royal shadow guards, they sound like they are famous, but they are not working for you, if I hadn't shouted today, I would have directly picked up the matter and put it on the table."
"Hmph, I guess it's impossible for them to make a move, either I'll die or you'll be injured, anyway, I don't like them, and I don't like that emperor......"
"Lady!"
Yue Lingjun stretched out his hand to cover Shen Yingniang's mouth, if it was usual, Yue Lingjun would not do this, the lady could say whatever she wanted, and the lady was not such a disproportionate person.
But now the situation is different, Yue Lingjun can only guarantee that Lu Xuanqing will not say it when he hears it, but those shadow guards ...... But the emperor's henchman.
Niangzi's words, if they reach the ears of the emperor, Yue Lingjun himself is not afraid, he is afraid that the emperor will attack Shen Yingniang.
Shen Yingniang also realized that she had said the wrong thing and pursed her lips.
"Okay, I won't say it, I just don't like them anyway, I tell you, although they are ordered to protect you, but after this assassination, I still see through it, you can only trust yourself."
"I can't follow you back to the capital, you have to be careful, but you just said that there was a problem with the royal shadow guard, why is your expression so strange? Is this problem serious? β
Shen Yingniang changed the topic and asked about Fang Cai.
Yue Lingjun originally thought that if he didn't mention it, Shen Yingniang wouldn't ask, after all, this matter was indeed a bit inconvenient for more people to know.
But the lady asked, and the lady also knew about the existence of the royal shadow guard, and the most important thing was that there was a conflict with the shadow guard, so it was better to remind her.
So Yue Lingjun's eyes were dark, staring at Shen Yingniang's face, and said seriously.
"Lady, you did something impulsive today, but it has happened, and it's too late for me to say anything, but you have to be careful after that, I will definitely protect you well."
"But I'm not by your side, I'm still not at ease, if there is any stranger around you in the future, you don't know it, whether it's a child or an old man, a weak person in the eyes of others, you have to be careful, even if it's Lu Xuanqing."
When he said this, Yue Lingjun glanced at the door, then turned his head to stare at Shen Yingniang and said seriously.
"Even if it's Lu Xuanqing, don't fully believe it in the future, at the critical moment, you must believe in yourself, and you must put your own interests first."
Shen Yingniang's heart was uneasy, she always felt that Yue Lingjun said these words like an explanation of her last words, she didn't like to hear them!
Angrily pushed the other party: "I know, I'm a businessman, can I use you to teach me this?" Of course I know that interests take precedence, but is it that serious? Even Lu Xuanqing can't believe it? β
Yue Lingjun smiled bitterly: "I can only tell you that although I have the same opinion as Lu Xuanqing on some things, it does not mean that the two of us can advance and retreat together, Lu Xuanqing is my friend, not yours." β
Shen Yingniang understood, and the smile on her face was a little more alienated.
"Got it, okay, you haven't answered my question yet, you just said, what's the matter with the Royal Shadow Guard? Don't shy away from my question, say it! β
Yue Lingjun saw that Shen Yingniang was persistent, but did not escape again, but said seriously.
"The royal shadow guard has always been loyal only to the emperor, not to the emperor himself, but to the person who sits on that throne, that is to say, whoever is the emperor, they will be loyal to the person who was the emperor at that time, they can live for the emperor, and they can die for the emperor."
"Since the establishment of the Royal Shadow Guard, this rule has never been violated, so even if the imperial power changes, after the new emperor ascends the throne, the court is turbulent, and the different parties are eliminated, the Royal Shadow Guard will not be affected and liquidated in any way, but will be rewarded for his important responsibilities because the new emperor has only ascended the throne and needs to stabilize his position."
Shen Yingniang frowned: "But what do you say have to do with the assassin's actions today?" β
As she spoke, Shen Yingniang's face changed slightly, and she lowered her voice and asked, "You don't mean to say that these shadow guards betrayed the emperor, right?" β
Shen Yingniang has this conjecture, and it is not random, Yue Lingjun said it, including Lu Xuanqing also affirmed it, the emperor definitely hopes that Yue Lingjun will return to the capital safely.
After all, the frontier still needs him, and at such a critical moment, it is impossible for the shadow guard to give Yue Lingjun a horse, which is not a good thing for the emperor.
If this side of the frontier is broken, the chair under the emperor's ass will be unstable, so if the shadow guard's actions today are not out of the emperor's order, then they can only make their own decisions.
And those who can be selected to become the emperor's shadow guard are definitely not stupid...... It's scary to think about!
Although that Mo Er showed a reckless and impulsive look in front of Shen Yingniang, it was just a performance, who knows what the other party has in his heart?
