Chapter 392: Assassination
What surprised Eleven Niang was not only for the visual impact, but also for He Ye's straightforward inquiry: "What, the king of Ruyang's subordinate has already lost his sword?" ”
Although Jiang Yuan had emphasized earlier that He Ye regarded Hu Niang as a confidant, Eleven Niang just thought that Hu Niang's purpose was only to cover up for He Ye, but he Ye actually gave Hu Niang such an important secret as assassination to Hu Niang for execution.
In the past few years, through He Zhan's close attention to Pei Zijian and the wealthy businessman Chen Xuanchi, although it has never been confirmed, many clues have been enough to confirm that both are actually the secret arms of the King of Jin, which is of course also because He Ye has not fortified Jingzhaoliu under the premise that there is a faint connection, according to Eleven Niang's guess, Chen Xuanchi should have a close relationship with Jiang Yuan, and was another important confidant of Xiao Cuihou, and her third brother Pei was obviously allied by Chen Xuanchi behind Pei Zheng's annihilation clan, with the current wealth of the two, Although it can't affect the political situation, it is inevitable that the king of Jin will use the secret servants of the dead soldiers, and the king of Jin wants to clean up a staff, so why do you need to use Hu Niang, but she can be reused, that is, he really trusts her.
He Ye has been in danger since he was a child, so he will never be gullible, and on the earlier question between the two just now, Eleven Niang noticed that he seemed to be quite defensive about himself, but Hu Niang was able to gain his trust within a year, and it seems that being deeply favored is not completely blind, Eleven Niang still regards the "shortcut" of Princess Jin as the first choice, although he will not regard Hu Niang as a threatening rival in love, and it is beneficial and harmless to pay attention to it in the future.
But she paid attention to it in such detail next, but she also found that Hu Niang's trembling and conscientious attitude was not at all as if she should be favored, and she couldn't help but become more and more puzzled.
Wouldn't the little girl have never even heard of the art of disguise, so she felt so surprised? His Royal Highness the "naïve and naïve" King Jin never expected that Eleven Niang's not very pure thoughts, and thought that she was shocked by Hu Niang's appearance of the two, so when Hu Niang replied, "Fortunately, not dishonoring the mission", but he bowed his head approvingly, and even gave an explanation that made Eleven Niang more and more confused.
"Right now, in my Jin Palace, there are some servants allocated for the Queen Mother, those people must be guarded against, but some of them are openly buying servants for Jiang Yuan, compared to such a servant in the courtyard, I can probably rest assured, there is a concubine with blue spots on the left cheek, although the Hu family can't say that the eyebrows are exactly the same after the disguise, but the characteristics of the left cheek are obvious, and the two are very similar, ordinary people don't pay attention to the careful debate, and it is difficult to detect the clues."
Eleven Niang didn't understand why He Ye wanted to explain these subtleties to her, Hu Niang was even more shocked by the master's trust in Liu Xiaoniang, even though she was prostrate, she still couldn't help but secretly peek at the girl sitting in front of her, compared to a year ago, at this time, her eyebrows were more like a spring rui, and she could vaguely see the beautiful appearance after three or five years, and that day she had a dignified and noble demeanor, not to mention that a person from such a humble background as herself could follow suit, Hu Niang inexplicably had a trace of envy in her heart, He quickly realized that this was an undeserved emotion, and while ridiculing himself for not deserving of Long Wangshu, he turned his eyes uncontrollably to look at the luxurious gold embroidery on the corner of the black robe under the low table of the upper seat, lightly covering his knees.
Some people and things can never be imagined, she was originally a person who had nothing, and now she can get a place to live without being humiliated and humiliated, which is already the blessing of God and Buddha for three lives.
But when I heard the master's low and deep question—
"When I saw you enter earlier, it seems that you have an ankle injury, but is it serious?"
A feeling of joy arose, and the viscera was covered in an instant, so that when he replied, his voice couldn't help but tremble lightly: "I accidentally sprained during the ambush, and there was no big problem." ”
"In that case, let's step back for now."
He Ye didn't notice Hu Niang's reluctant and happy appearance, waved his hand to send away him, the legendary extremely infatuated concubine, and looked at Eleven Niang: "You haven't come back to your senses yet?" It's just a disguise technique, how many jugglers can use it freely, it is worth being so surprised by Liu Dacai? ”
Only then did Eleven Niang understand He Ye's misunderstanding, and she suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, and subconsciously told the truth: "Eleven didn't expect that Hu's swordsmanship could really take people's lives, and I didn't expect the king to trust it so much." ”
"I've seen the Hu family dance sword a few times, not as flashy as those flower fist embroidered legs in the palace, sure enough, it is a teacher of the Gongsun family, and although the Gongsun aunt is a maiko, the swordsmanship is from the Yue Nu Sword School, although the dance can also entertain the public, but it is also enough to resist the enemy, the staff of the Ruyang palace is just scheming, but the skills are ordinary, which is the opponent of the Hu family? Besides, I designed to lure him to the suburbs this time to ambush the Hu family, but in fact, there are also people secretly cooperating with the Hu family to prevent extraneous branches. ”
He Ye still didn't realize that Eleven Niang had not been very "pure" earlier, and then he amused with interest: "As for why I believe in the Hu family so much...... It's not because of your Liu Shiyi's entrustment, please let me shelter its stability, according to me, although the Hu family is from a humble background, but very backbone, and does not want to eat for nothing and live in vain and is more willing to support himself, this king has been thinking about it for a long time, before he thought of this way, so that he would not be upset, and even thought that this king was also like the old pervert of the British duke, coveting her beauty and panic...... Liu Shiyi, you owe a lot of favors, and it's not easy to repay. ”
Eleven Niang: ......
After He Ye said this, his thoughts returned to the unfinished homework, and he was impatient to chat with the "little girl" again, picked up the pen with his right hand, and waved his left hand lightly: "Go, since you have to return home on leave, I think you should have the opportunity to tell Xue Xuanzhi that the nail in the Ruyang Mansion has been pulled out by me." ”
It was only at this time that Eleven Niang thought that it was not clear why the unlucky staff member was assassinated by He Ye, but since the other party had already issued an eviction order, it was naturally inconvenient for her to continue to pester, but fortunately, after listening to the meaning of the words, He Ye had clearly discussed and discussed with Lu Li in advance, and since Lu Li knew the cause, of course he would relieve her doubts.
The next day is the Shangsi Festival, Liufu will inevitably prepare for the spring picnic banquet, and because Mrs. Tai has heard the news of the death of the concubine, in order to make the Queen Mother convinced that she has been angry with Eleven Niang, although she did not completely snub this granddaughter on the surface, but found an excuse for getting older, and instructed Eleven Niang to move to Fucuiwu to live, and since then lost the honor of living with her grandmother at home, but the Queen Mother followed the order to live in the forbidden place for a long time, in fact, Eleven Niang rarely has the opportunity to live with her sisters in the family, and she has to return home on leave during the New Year's Festival, but she still has to abide by the etiquette law. Excuse me from greetings.
There is no idle on the side, of course Mrs. Tai will not face each other coldly, let Eleven Niang sit beside her, the grandparents and grandchildren kissed and gossiped for a while, it is inevitable to ask for warmth, and Mrs. Tai is also very concerned about the forbidden things, she listened to Eleven Niang's eloquent words, and understood that after this year, her granddaughter has further won the weight of the Queen Mother, which shows how Eleven Niang is careful and cautious step by step, looking at the girl who is more and more beautiful and lovely, Mrs. Tai is not full of pity in her heart: "You have been smart and clever since you were a child, but it is precisely because of this, Compared with the rest of the carefree sisters, they have to shoulder heavy burdens early on, and they have to go through hardships and dangers at a young age......"
This is really a cliché, Mrs. Tai knew that Eleven Niang would be comforted when she saw her guilty, so she sighed and did not say any more self-blame, only took her granddaughter's hand, and looked loving: "At present, there is Ruyang Wang Party against everywhere, and the Queen Mother is more and more kind to the family, trying to gain more support, so this year, not only your two fathers, but even you Aya in the secretary province are quite important, my Jing Zhaoliu is undoubtedly like cooking oil on fire, flowers in the eyes of the world, but we must be sober in our hearts, these are all superficial, the Queen Mother's desire for power is extremely heavy." , Once she gets the opportunity to eradicate the King of Ruyang, followed by the inevitable suppression of dissidents, you Aya needless to say, I am afraid that even your father will not be able to really dispel the Queen Mother's defense, so in addition to helping King Jin ascend the throne, it is expected to overturn the trial of Pei Zheng's injustice case and truly get rid of the threat of the Queen Mother. ”
This road has been full of thorns from the beginning, Mrs. Wei naturally knows it in her heart, but every time she thinks of her only daughter dying tragically in the deep palace, she is inevitably sad and angry: "Fortunately, the king of Ruyang took the lead in making trouble, the king of Jin is finally safe for the time being, we still have hope, and my Yun'er is not dying in vain...... Yiyi, your aunt has a stubborn temperament, this desperate road is her own choice, I know that you feel guilty and blame yourself, but this is indeed not your fault, I just hope that you don't learn from your aunt, no matter how many hardships and dangers in the future, how much humiliation and pain you suffer, as long as you have a glimmer of life, don't choose a dead end. ”
Because of the pain of the death of the concubine, Mrs. Tai's temples have been dyed white in a year, as if she was suddenly old and haggard, but Eleven Niang knew that this resolute and wise woman was not destroyed by grief, and at this time she did not persuade too much, only talked about today's question with He Ye, and Mrs. Tai really felt quite comforted after hearing it: "In fact, a few years ago, seeing that the King of Jin was arrogant and arrogant because of the arrogance of the first emperor, and his upbringing was violent and arrogant, I had no hope for him, but fortunately, when I learned that he secretly helped Yun'er in the palace, I realized that the King of Jin was also acting so violently in order to survive, At a young age, it's not easy, listen to you today, it seems that the King of Jin is also secretly working on the history and military politics, which shows that he already has a plan in his heart, at present, we are cautious, we can't have too much contact with the King of Jin, and only through you and Xuanzhi, can still secretly contact him, if the King of Jin is in need, Jing Zhaoliu will definitely do his best to pay, this, Yi Yi is also the current generation to convey loyalty. ”
Suddenly mentioned the eldest grandson Liu Yan: "Your father is very important now, and San Lang is finally looking forward to the opportunity, although the selection of the forbidden guard has always been the way for the children of Shixun to be promoted, but in fact, he can't really get much experience, yes, I think with your father, it is better to let San Lang transfer to the forbidden army." ”
Eleven Niang said: "At present, the new Turk and the Great Zhou are joining forces, and the war is going very well, but the new Turk is very ambitious, and he actually sent envoys to ask for more troops. ”
Mrs. Tai bowed: "I just hope that San Lang is really going to the battlefield to train, he is a son, and he is the eldest grandson of the sect, and he should have a heavier responsibility on his shoulders." ”
If Liu Yan has been staying in the palace guard step by step, he may be able to get the post of a general in three or five years, but now the palace guards are all controlled by Dou Fu'an, and he wants to grasp the real power is undoubtedly a fool's dream, and he is transferred to the forbidden army, although it is very likely that he will go to the battlefield in person, but the promotion by virtue of military merits is the right way for a general, and it is indeed more beneficial than staying in Kyoto to spend time.
After finishing the business, Mrs. Tai suddenly mentioned Ting: "Take advantage of the Shangsi Festival, get close to your sister Ting for a day, her grandfather's family came, saying that the queen mother was sick, and I heard that Ting's relatives were frustrated, and she was very worried, so she specially sent someone to invite, hoping that Ting and could return to Huoyi to see, and Ting and this time, maybe she will not return to Chang'an." ”
Eleven Niang was very surprised by this unexpected news: "Is it to let Sister Ting return to her hometown?" ”
Mrs. Tai bowed: "Ting's grandfather's family is a merchant, although he doesn't worry about money, he can't teach Qian'er his homework, so he is worried about delaying Qian'er's future, and he doesn't plan to take him back to Huoyi." ”
"The eldest mother said that Sister Ting will not return to Chang'an this time, is it difficult to ...... It was the sixth sister's maternal grandfather's family who had a favorite family affair. ”
"Back then, in order to get rid of Lu Rui's entanglement, she was willing to take the name of overcoming evil, and now it is indeed difficult to find a suitable marriage for her in Kyoto, she seems weak, but she is also resolute in her bones, and she still does not forget the old love, and is not in a hurry to marry, but our elders have to worry about her, I am thinking, since Ting's grandmother pities her granddaughter and intends to find a good family for her in Huoyi, it is indeed more beneficial to the future, as a woman, you can't die alone."
But Shi Niang was faintly worried in her heart: "I'm afraid that Sister Ting's grandfather's family is limited by the family......"
"You kid, why are you worried that the merchant will insult Tinger." Mrs. Tai shook her head and smiled: "I didn't expect that in those years, Ting's sister and brother were bullied by the clansmen, but her grandfather's family ignored it, but she saw that she had a reliance at this time, but she was worried that Tingting came, and she came to pick it up, which is afraid that it is a little strange, but Ting is also a filial child, when she heard that the queen mother was sick, how could she refuse to return to her hometown, and I was inconvenient to prevent her from fulfilling her filial piety, her uncle was a shrewd person, tactfully explained that the old mother was very worried about Ting's marriage, and saw that no one in Kyoto knew Ting's troubles, so she had the mind to marry in Huoyi, He also said that there was Huo Yiliu as a hindrance back then, and their merchants were not qualified to interfere in the family affairs at all, and there was much helplessness, not that they were hard-hearted and disregarded for family affection, but there was some truth. ”
Mrs. Tai was still not very relieved when she saw Eleven Niang, and her smile was even softer: "You child is kind-hearted, and she regards Ting as a sister-in-law, and it is not in vain that although she has rarely seen you over the years, she has always thought about it, Ji Ji will personally tailor and embroider shoes for you, you can rest assured, our family has an industry in Huoyi, and there is a steward stationed for a long time, if Ting and the foreign family really plan for her, get a good marriage, and also consider Ting to return in the future, if her uncle is making a bad idea, how can I agree?" Ting is the daughter of the Liu family, and without my Jing Zhaoliu nodding right now, even Huo Yiliu can't force marriage. ”
