Chapter 55: Laughing (6)

Bai Yi violently dissected his heart, staring at Chu Zhixia with burning eyes, as if he wanted to burn two holes in her: "Don't you have anything to say?" ”

Chu Zhixia said helplessly: "Your Highness can just say whatever you want to say, and the ministers will listen to it." ”

"I know you have a grudge against Bai Yu."

"It's not a grudge, the third highness is a child, and there are many stubbornnesses, and the courtiers should be tolerant." Chu Zhixia is generous, and he looks very clear about right and wrong.

Every time the third prince provokes trouble, his means are not clever, and he is the one who suffers. Chu Zhixia felt that he was not a person who had to make inches, he had the right to be a monkey playing tricks and just watching the fun, what was so difficult to tolerate?

"You entered the imperial capital as a hostage, and all the schemes came from the Chen family in the final analysis. If you take a step back and let the assassin die silently in the prison of Dali Temple, I promise to let you return to the clouds one day. Bai Yi said.

"The coming day is long, and the future is too far to say now." Chu Zhixia sighed, smiled and shook his head.

Bai Yi saw that she didn't eat oil and salt, so the Bodhisattva mask she had just put on was torn off again, and she said coldly: "Do you also think that the prince is kind and benevolent, and he will be the master in the future?" ”

"The matter of the East Palace, how dare the minister speak in vain."

Chu Zhixia said lightly, "Actually, if His Highness's plan is successful, the minister may really waver, do you want to stand on His Highness's side." It's a pity that His Royal Highness's skills are not as good as others, and the ministers are also weak. ”

Bai Yi secretly hated her for stirring up the situation, and sneered even more when he heard this: "If it weren't for you, today would be a national funeral, and the prince would be the target of everyone, and he would be infamous for killing his father and seizing the throne for thousands of years, and then roll down from that position in a gloomy manner." ”

Chu Zhixia was indispensable, and his eyes swept over the children in the courtyard who were enjoying the shade.

"Your Highness is using these children to convince Master Qingxuan and those dead soldiers, are you a master worthy of service?"

"I know what you're thinking, but taking these children in wasn't a ploy." Bai Yi snorted, "Since my legs were disabled, I have been quite cold, and I am more sympathetic to these children who have been abandoned due to their own disabilities. ”

"I see, but I live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." Chu Zhixia's voice changed, and his smile did not decrease, "Have the second highnesses ever taken pity on the fourth highness who is helpless and attacked and slandered by the courtiers?" ”

Bai Yi's face changed.

Originally, Chu Zhixia thought that Bai Ziche was blamed for no reason at the court meeting, and the regent couldn't hold his breath.

Now it seems that it is just Bai Yigou jumping over the wall in a hurry, busy planting blame.

"Or is it further afield, after the second highness had the third prince's legs mutilated, did he ever have half of pity for the fourth prince who was bullied by his brother and struggled to survive, and even condescended to condescend and sympathize with him?"

"If the time is too far to remember," Chu Zhixia chuckled and nodded his temples, "When His Highness ordered the extermination of that craftsman, did he ever regret in his heart that he wanted to carry out this plan of nine deaths and a lifetime, and then take countless lives?" ”

"Chu Zhixia, you are presumptuous." Bai Yi gritted his teeth and reprimanded.

"I don't dare. But whether His Highness has ulterior motives for taking in these orphans or not, His Highness knows in his heart. Chu Shixia took a step back and said coldly, "The gentleman doesn't care about his deeds, no matter what, these children have a way to live because of His Highness after all." ”

"But playing a living Buddha in front of the minister is too much."

Bai Yi knew that this was a collapse of the conversation, so he quietly threw down his hand beads and motioned for the guards around him to lean over.

"Are you determined to go against me?"

Chu Zhixia was surprised by his resolute methods and incompatible innocence, "Does His Highness still want to kill me?" ”

"The eldest lady of the Chu family died at the hands of the assassins, the political enemies of the Chu family, what does it have to do with me?" Bai Yi smiled lightly and put the bracelet back on his wrist, "The people offended by the King of Zhenbei are no less than the Chen family. ”

Chu Zhixia shook his head and said with a smile: "I want to say that Your Highness really doesn't have a long memory, and he forgot how that assassin fell into my hands so quickly." ”

"I know you have a secret guard with you, but my Assassins have all gone to intercept him. Even if he has the courage to be ten of them, he will not be able to save your life. "Tonight, you will die here with this secret." ”

The tower-like swordsman beside Bai Yi suddenly attacked, and slashed over, with the potential of splitting mountains and seas.

Chu Zhixia was bare-handed, so he had to dodge sideways, grabbed in front of him with his right hand, and focused his two fingers on the dovetail acupoint. The feeling of sourness and numbness ran from the dovetail point like lightning all over the body, and the tip of Chu Zhixia's elbow swept up to his jaw, and forcefully twisted his cervical vertebrae.

The swordsman was thrown out by her like a sandbag, and the heavy big knife fell into Chu Zhixia's hands.

Bai Yi was shocked, and the guards around him surrounded him like an iron bucket.

The backyard of Jishan Hall suddenly burst into flames, and the door panel of the backyard was slammed open.

Cheng Yuan, who was covered in bruises, was shocked by the mess in front of him, and when he saw Chu Zhixia, his shock turned to fear and worry.

"Miss, go quickly, the second prince is plotting to rebel!"

"Not a single one will be left alive." Bai Yi pushed the guard's arm away, and said with a blushing face.

Chu Zhixia raised his hand and threw the knife out, and the knife pierced through the people chasing behind Cheng Yuan. Cheng Yuan didn't seem to be lightly injured, and staggered over to protect Chu Zhixia.

At the last moment, the door to the front yard was kicked open.

The copper umbrella wrapped in bloody wind and rain bore the brunt of the attack, and smashed it at Bai Yi and his party. The guard slashed it vertically with his knife, but his wrist was numb from the shock, and the blade cracked a gap, and he was firmly smashed into the chest by the umbrella.

The eagle-like shadow followed closely on the umbrella, slicing the guard's throat with a single sword.

Shen Zhou Wolf looked at Eagle Gu, and wiped the blood on his cheek, leaving only a faint red mark. Just looking at his face is enough to make people lose their souls.

But behind him was the body of the female assassin with the umbrella.

Chu Zhixia rushed over and picked up Cheng Yuan, whistled on his mouth, and took Cheng Yuan over the courtyard wall and fled.

Shen Zhou held his sword and flew the knife in the guard's hand, and the tip of the knife stabbed into the ground two inches in front of Bai Yi's body, trembling. Shen Zhou glanced at him without warmth, obviously an understatement, but it made people shudder.

The corners of Bai Yi's eyes twitched slightly.

Shen Zhou stepped on the whistle and retreated quickly, and one jumped up the eaves and disappeared.

"Your Highness, what now?"

"What should I do?" Bai Yi stared at the knife in front of him, his expression was so fierce that his facial features were distorted, "If we don't do it now, when it is dawn, will our heads still be on our necks?" Mobilize troops, go to Qiandemen one way, and go to the East Palace on the other. ”

"The Chu family?"

"Chu Zhixia only has a hundred guards around him, what is it for?" The second prince slapped on the armrest with a snap and said, "After tonight, you are all ministers of the dragon!" ”

——

Cheng Yuan was held on his shoulders by Chu Zhixia, vomiting blood while running.

"I just finished writing the list, and I was called by His Royal Highness II. They drugged me in the water, put me down, tortured me to extract a confession, and tortured me about what the Assassin had said. Cheng Yuan said vaguely, "On that list, there are indeed children of the Li family in Longxi." ”

So they found out the news of the craftsmen and their party, and leaked it.

"Alright, don't say it." Chu Zhixia was a little irritable.

"His Royal Highness has two preparations, if the eldest lady obeys him and kills the assassin, someone in the palace will frame the four princes to take the blame for him." Cheng Yuan said with difficulty, "If the eldest lady refuses, he will follow the example of Emperor Taizong of the previous dynasty and raise an army to rebel." ”

Chu Shixia suddenly remembered, "Today's general on duty in Miyagi is ......"

"The surname is Li, Li Dezheng of the Li side branch of Longxi."

Cheng Yuan broke several ribs, and his breath was heartbreaking when he was panting.

"Miss, go quickly, leave me alone." Cheng Yuan gasped heavily, trying to relieve the pain in his chest, "If the second prince succeeds, you will be the first to suffer." ”

"Shut up," Chu Zhixia said a little fiercely, "spit out my blood." ”

"It's still too late to ......"

"It's too late." Chu Shixia said coldly, "Since the second prince wants to rebel, he must have made thorough preparations. Who opens the palace gate, who captures and kills the prince, and who leads the troops to force the palace, are interlocking and responding. ”

"And I only have a hundred guards in my hands."

Cheng Yuan was stunned, and the naked desperate situation shook his eyes black for a while.

A fresh breeze is blowing.

Cheng Yuan's consciousness was dazed, and he was handed over by Chu Zhixia to the hands of Shen Zhou, who rushed to meet.

Shen Zhou glanced at her to make sure she was safe and sound, and then his hanging heart fell back to his chest. Shen Zhou carried Cheng Yuan on his shoulder, and with his other hand, he pulled out the drinking stream snow from behind his back and handed it to Chu Zhixia.

"I got it back." Shen Zhou said.

"You take Cheng Yuan back to the Autumn Leaf Mountain Residence, mobilize all the manpower to close the door, and I'll borrow troops." Chu Zhixia immediately decided.

Shen Zhou's eyebrows jumped for no reason, and the words "borrowing soldiers" and "asking for help" were like thorns buried in his heart, once they were moved, they provoked the pain buried deep in his limbs, "Who are you going to borrow troops from?" ”

"Regent."

As soon as these three words came out, even the dying Cheng Yuan fluttered.

"No way!" Shen Zhou didn't think about it, blurted out, and his clenched teeth trembled.

"Miss, don't be crazy." Cheng Yuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva vigorously, "Even if you let Shen Zhou assassinate the second prince, it is better than borrowing troops from the regent." ”

As soon as Shen Zhou heard this, he immediately threw Cheng Yuan back into Chu Zhixia's arms with a cold face, "You go back to the Autumn Leaves Mountain Residence, and I will kill him." ”

Chu Zhixia's head was bigger than two, and he couldn't resist pressing the hilt of his sword on Shen Zhou's shoulder, and his tone was cold and hard, "Listen to me, I'm sure to convince the regent." If the crown prince dies, the next East Palace may be the third prince-"

The third prince, Bai Yu, who has a harmless baby face and does not hesitate to do bad things and does not consider himself vicious, is the most dangerous person in the imperial capital.

The regent should talk about the gains and losses of interests, and take care of the honor and disgrace of the family; The first assistant must preserve his own powerful position and take into account the reputation of the official; The crown prince asked the emperor to favor him and win the courtiers to follow.

Where people have needs, they have weaknesses.

And the three princes don't want anything, they are not afraid of anything, they do whatever they want and have no scruples. If such a person ascends to the position of the East Palace, it will not only be a disaster for the Chu family, but also a disaster for all the people in the world.

"The second prince can die, but he must not die at your hands." Chu Zhixia said to Shen Zhou, "Otherwise, in the future, this is the reason for my death." ”

Shen Zhou frowned fiercely.
