Chapter 119: The Prime Minister's Mansion
In the house, Yu Zhi put Li Wantong's hand back into the quilt, and then stuffed the quilt tightly, just looking at Li Wantong, all he thought about was the happy time the two of them got along.
After a moment, Yu Zhi walked out of the room. He understood what Yu Zhuyue meant, whether Li Wantong woke up and when he woke up was unknown.
But Yu Zhi didn't want to wait. It's like a spring breeze that doesn't wait until all the ice melts before it comes.
The same goes for revenge.
Lao Huang sat on the threshold in front of the small courtyard, leaning against the broken wooden door behind him.
Grunting, a sip of rice wine in his stomach, but the old yellow eyes are getting clearer and clearer. He looked at the alley in front of the courtyard, and his eyes were full of scenes of the girl dying that night.
Immediately afterwards, Li Wantong was poisoned and fell into a coma.
In just a few days, it all happened so suddenly.
"Xiangye, you are really so ruthless." In the past few days, Lao Huang has not known how to repeat this sentence thousands of times.
This assassination proves that the last assassination was not groundless. Yu Zhi's reminder is not unreasonable.
"Xiangye, what are you thinking? Why do you want to kill the young lady? Miss has obviously come to Beiliang Mansion, as long as she can heal her legs, she will not insult the lintel of the Prime Minister's Mansion, why do you want to kill Miss! ”
Lao Huang's expression was complicated, and there was only one thing he couldn't figure out in his heart, but it was difficult to figure out one thing alone.
After all, when the prime minister of the dynasty, Li Xiuyuan's thoughts, who can guess it?
Yu Zhi walked to Lao Huang and sat down, just wiped his face with cold water, so that he could be more sober.
One old and one young, just sat on the threshold, the same lonely look.
"Give me a drink." Yu Zhi said. He didn't need to borrow wine to kill his sorrows, but suddenly he wanted to taste the taste of wine.
Lao Huang looked at Yu Zhi and handed the wine gourd to Yu Zhi. These days, Yu Zhi has been staying by Li Wantong's side, and what he has done has made Lao Huang recognize it in his heart.
The people in that prime minister's mansion had never cared so much about Li Wantong.
"Ahem!" Yu Zhi coughed a few times, Lao Huang's wine was very strong, he could drink it like drinking water, but Yu Zhi couldn't. Take a sip and spit out half a mouthful.
Lao Huang took the wine gourd, laughed hehehe, looked at Yu Zhi's appearance, and remembered the appearance of his first drink...... It's also so embarrassing.
"Boy, the wine in Beiliangfu is stronger than that in Kyoto, so brew some. You... I can't get used to drinking. Lao Huang said.
Yu Zhi nodded and said, "Kyoto... I've traveled to countless places in Dachu since I was a child, but I don't like Kyoto the most. ”
Lao Huang was puzzled, not knowing what Yu meant by this.
Yu Zhi looked up at the sky and stretched out his hand towards the clouds in the distance, as if he wanted to hold the clouds.
"Kyoto....... It is a city that countless people yearn for, and countless people want to be in a certain official position at the feet of the Son of Heaven, or to rise to the top. However, that place made me feel depressed. ”
"There are too many officials, too many princes, and those so-called His Royal Highnesses, these people have no plans to eat in Baiwei Ju."
Yu Zhi recalled those days in Kyoto, and it was indeed not as comfortable as asking the academy.
Lao Huang took a sip of wine and said, "It seems that you are also a popular figure in Kyoto." ”
Yu Zhi glanced at Lao Huang, then nodded, and said, "If you say so, it's okay." When it is as famous as Qinghuan. However, there are always people who want to harm me. The two white jade brothers of the Hubu Shangshu Mansion, Xiang Jinghao of the Chu Prince's Mansion, there should be some people in the secret. ”
Lao Huang smiled again: "These people you are talking about are not ordinary people. ”
Yu Zhi spread his hands, quite helpless. "yes. These guys keep messing with me, and I can't hide from them. However, I am also very grateful to them in my heart, and perhaps it was because of some of them that I was able to meet Wantong. ”
Lao Huang looked at Yu Zhi again, but the young man's face was full of sincere smiles. On the trip to the north, Lao Huang has been secretly observing Yu Zhi and observing Yu Zhi's words and deeds. Most of the time, Yu Zhi likes to mix with girls and be funny with Li Wantong, mostly cynical.
The conversation after the post assassination was the first time that Lao Huang had a deeper understanding of Yu Zhi.
The young man is as careful as a hair, and he is quite scheming, and the "shame of asking the question" is his cover-up, which makes everyone despise him. With such thoughts, he is not a good match for young ladies.
Now, Lao Huang looked at the young man's calm and sincere smile, and understood a little in his heart.
"After meeting Wantong, I feel that the world is complete." Yu Zhi withdrew his hand and put it on his knee, and the smile on his face gradually receded. "On my trip north, I thought about everything. Someone wants to kill me. It's just a killer under the armor-piercing six grades, whether it's Qinghuan or me, I can deal with it. I thought that if I was careful, I would be able to heal my legs and return to Kyoto safely. ”
"I left the sword qi that the elders gave to the Grandmaster, thinking that in this way she would be safe. But ......"
Lao Huang was shocked in his heart and said, "That Grandmaster sword qi was given by you?" ”
After that night, Lao Huang couldn't guess where this Grandmaster's sword qi came from and who saved Miss. The key point is that this is the Grandmaster Sword Qi, not the Grandmaster Sword Qi that everyone can have.
Yu Zhi nodded and continued, "It was given by my elders. It's a pity that he only gave such a sword. ”
It seems that there are many secrets of this kid...... Lao Huang thought to himself.
"By the way, my elder is called Li Haomiao!" Yu Zhi said casually.
Lao Huang was shocked again, Li Haomiao, is it Li Haomiao of the Ten Rank Grandmaster of the Easy Swordsman? It can't be the same name, right?
Lao Huang has many question marks in his heart.
But the only ten-rank kendo masters who have been revealed in the world are the tower keepers of Nanzhou Mansion and Li Haomiao, who is at large. Compared to the tower guard, it is more likely that that sword qi came from Li Haomiao.
Gollum!
Lao Huang's bitter wine entered his throat, and after a long time, he said, "Why are you telling me this? ”
Yu Zhi looked at Lao Huang and said in a firm voice: "What I want to say is that I have many enemies, and there are also those sinister people who don't see the sun and want to kill me. However, I am confident enough to deal with these dangers. Because, behind me stood a Ten-Rank Grandmaster. ”
"I want you to tell me about Wantong's background so that I can keep her safe." Yu Zhi paused for a moment and continued, "And find those people for revenge." ”
Lao Huang was stunned, and then looked hesitant, he didn't know whether to say it or not, and how to say it.
Maybe if you say it, Li Wantong will be more dangerous?
can be assassinated again and again, and each time it is more dangerous than the other. This time the girl died, so what about next time?
Lao Huang picked up the wine gourd and poured it, leaving only a drop of wine hanging on the mouth of the gourd. Simply, Lao Huang put away the wine gourd, glanced at Yu Zhi with complicated eyes, and stopped talking.
Yu Zhi was not in a hurry, in fact, he had a guess a long time ago.
"If you don't say it, I also know that Wantong should be a member of the Prime Minister's Mansion in Kyoto."
The calm voice was like a spring breeze, but it set off a huge wave in Lao Huang's heart. Lao Huang's shocked expression had already verified Yu Zhi's guess.
"You investigated us?" Lao Huang said.
Yu Zhi shook his head and said, "The three of you master and servant live in seclusion in the deep mountains outside Kyoto. This is not unusual. I became curious about Wantong's identity, after the post assassination. The killer on top of the monument. ”
"In order to kill a powerless girl, the killer on the monument was dispatched, and these six black-clothed guards were well-trained and cooperated. This is no ordinary killer. ”
"The cultivators above the opening monument already belong to the top industry, and no matter how bad they are, they can still be in the official position of a certain third-grade military general in Dachu. To be able to summon such a master, the other party should not be an ordinary person. ”
"Li Wantong, hehe, it just so happens that there is also a big man surnamed Li in Kyoto. It just so happened that I was also a little 'familiar' with this big man. I remember that Li Xiangye had a granddaughter named Li Chuchen. ”
"So Wantong, she is the person from the Li Xiang Mansion. Is it? ”
Lao Huang was silent for a long time, as if he had forgotten that there was no wine in the wine gourd, and poured a few sips into his mouth, before he reacted and plugged the gourd stopper.
After a long time, Lao Huang said: "Sometimes, even an old man like me thinks you are a little scary. If you are wise and foolish, I am afraid that those sons and sons in Kyoto have been deceived by you. ”
Yu Zhi held his face in his hands and smiled, "I didn't lie to them. Those people are just self-righteous. ”
Immediately, Lao Huang sighed, "Once, Miss asked me to investigate you. After knowing that you had a conflict with Xiangye, the young lady let us move out of the bamboo forest. ”
"Fate is fate. I never thought that in the small town, the young lady would see you again. ”
Yu Zhi also echoed: "Yes, fate." My fate with Wantong seems to have been cut. This life is destined to be together. ”
Lao Huang glanced at the narcissistic Yu Zhi, "Miss is indeed from the Prime Minister's Mansion, she is the granddaughter of Xiangye, and she is also Miss Chuchen's sister." The two are twins and indeed have different destinies. ”
"Is it because of Wantong's legs?" Yu Zhi asked.
Lao Huang nodded, "Not bad." Xiang Ye was worried that Miss's disability would attract ridicule from outsiders and insult the lintel of the Prime Minister's Mansion. I remember it was a snowy night thirteen years ago. The young lady is five years old and still in a wheelchair. In the first five years, Xiangye asked the young lady to search for famous doctors, but he still failed to cure the young lady's legs. ”
"When Miss was five years old, Xiangye also lost patience, hid her identity, and asked me to take Miss to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests outside Kyoto. This stay is thirteen years, a full thirteen years, there is only one young lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and there is only one granddaughter in Xiangye, that is Miss Chuchen. ”
"And Miss Wantong is just a dispensable prime minister.... No, preferably an existence that never existed. ”
Yu Zhi's eyes suddenly became extremely cold, "So, these black-clothed killers are also from that Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”
