She watched him sit casually across from him, somehow feeling a little uncomfortable.

It was as if she had recklessly broken into his house.

It's weird, it's obvious that he came uninvited.

Gu Yuan cleaned up the chess game on the desk, and said with a smile: "Your Highness just sit down, it's okay." ”

Shen Zhixi pouted: "You hypocrite, you say one thing, and do another." ”

Her ability to say cool things has never fallen behind, but Gu Yuan looks at her now, but she feels a little cute.

He smiled helplessly, "In that case, then I'll go." ”

Shen Zhixi glared at him, "You come back for me." ”

Gu Yuan smiled: "I didn't leave either." ”

"Is there any news from Jinyiwei?" Shen Zhixi sat opposite him, poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all.

"Just now I exchanged news with Lu Jing, and he found out that the two people were very suspicious, and I used Shi Du's whereabouts to make a deal with him in exchange for this news." Gu Yuan said slowly.

"Lu Jing is inevitably too cautious." Shen Zhixi commented.

Gu Yuan lowered his voice and said, "It's always good to be cautious, how many pairs of eyes are staring at us inside and outside the palace walls." Taking a step back, he didn't know me well at all, and he was only willing to make this deal with me for the sake of Shi Dusk's face. ”

"Who did Jinyiwei find?"

Gu Yuan casually picked up a chess piece from the chess box and rested on the chessboard with a "snap", "The first one is He Zhangyin's godson Fushou, who left for half an hour for no reason on the night of the palace banquet, and this morning the celebrant said that Fushou was missing." ”

"What about the other one?"

Gu Yuan smashed the second chess piece on the chessboard: "The second person, the deputy general of the Qingzhou Army under Shen Ying, King of Suning, Chen Yang." He secretly transferred Qingzhou Tieqi into the palace last night, and you and I know very well what he wants to do. ”

The two chess pieces clanged.

"When two tigers fight, one will be injured."

"But what if this wounded man dies?"

At the same time, Lu Fu.

Gu Nianqiu leaned over and dropped a kiss between Lu Ran's eyebrows, and whispered: "Lu Shidu, I like you." ”

"Just think it's for me, and don't risk your life in the future, okay?"

——

In the afternoon, Tanzhe Temple handed over the news, saying that the "Yao madman" wanted to see the eldest princess.

Shen Zhixi knew in her heart, since the assassination of the king and the killing of the driver caused a storm in the city, Yao Xi, who was known as the "half son of Shengtian", must also know.

When she came to Tanzhe Temple, Yao Xi took her to the dark room last time without saying a word.

Shen Zhixi saw a wine jug on the desk, so she poured a glass for herself and the old lady.

Yao Xi was also not polite, drank a glass of wine, and then said: "Shen Ying is already half a dead person, just add a few more firewood, and you can burn this Tianhuang noble alive." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Shen Zhixi took a sip of wine and put the wine cup aside.

"Do you know what it means for Qingzhou Iron to ride into Beijing?" Yao Xi asked rhetorically.

"The vassal king brought troops into Beijing without permission, which is a felony of rebellion. But Shen Ying is a member of the royal family, whether it is me or Ah Heng, we will think of the royal face. ”

Yao Xi took a ring ruler from the side and put it in his hand to play: "Then you say, is your family's face important, or your brother's life is important?" Don't forget, that day of the palace banquet, his good head was almost cut off by Beili spies. ”

Shen Zhixi subconsciously took a step back.

"Don't be afraid, your brother won't hear me say these rebellious things here. If you want to be more serious, I, Yao Chongnian, are still alive now, so it can be regarded as a big rebellion. Yao Xi smiled, "Your brother is suspicious, and now Shen Ying suddenly transferred troops into Beijing, what is he going to do?" Want to rebel? Or do you want to have a battle of martyrdom in my Jokhang? ”

Shen Zhixi was silent.

"Once the matter of his transfer of troops into Beijing is made into an iron case, it will be a crime of treason to assassinate the king, and the king of heaven will not be able to save him when he comes." Yao Xi's smile was a little cold, "You go back and count with Gu Yuan's kid, if you break it, you will break it, if you don't get rid of him now, you will have elbows and armpits in the future." ”

Shen Zhixi suddenly shook her head and said, "No." ”

Yao Xi frowned and said, "Why not?" If you don't kill him, he'll kill you! ”

Shen Zhixi stared at him and said, "Now is not the time, I need a reason, and it is best to hit with one blow." ”

The old man sighed: "I'm afraid that you will be forced to change your mind." For the Gu family, as long as Gu Huaixia is still the princess of Suning, the Gu family is Shen Ying's biggest backer. ”

Shen Zhixi bowed slightly, "I heard that Gu Huaixia was not doing well in the Suning Palace. ”

"But the Gu family is also a pawn you use to win over the courtiers." Yao Xi took a sip of the remaining wine, raised his sleeve to wipe the wine stains on his lips, and said slowly, "So you and Shen Ying can only survive one, either he dies or you die." As for Gu Huaixia's matter, as long as Shen Ying is brought down, her affairs will be easy to handle. ”

Shen Zhixi raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes were full of determination: "Taifu, I never thought of using the Gu family to achieve my goals, I got close to the Gu family just because I liked Gu Yuan, that's all." ”

"And Shen Ying's matter, I will consider it, but he is a member of the royal family, no matter how he deals with it, he must be cautious, if he makes a mistake, he will lose all the plates, and it will be too late to regret it."

When Shen Zhixi came out of Tanzhe Temple, it was already the time to hold the lamp, and Mrs. Yao had to pull her to drink, until the old man was drunk, and Shen Zhixi said goodbye and left.

I don't know whose jade flute flew secretly, scattered into the spring breeze all over Los Angeles.

On the way back to the city, Shen Zhixi kept listening to the man playing the flute under the moon.

Without warning, the whistle stopped.

In the next moment, several Xuanyi assassins with daggers in their hands swept towards Shen Zhixi at the same time!

Shen Zhixi immediately released the poisoning needle in her sleeve, took out a handcuff before the assassin could react, and pulled the trigger.

The explosion of gunpowder shook several people back, and by the time the smoke cleared, the woman had long since disappeared.

The leader immediately decided: "Chase! ”

In the depths of the Imperial Prison, Lu Ran put an embroidered spring knife against Chen Yang's throat and said coldly: "Do you know why I arrested you?" ”

Chen Yang was so frightened that he couldn't speak: "Lu, Lord Lu, I'm just selling some news to support my family, how, what, what's the ......"

"Why did you provoke the Jinyi Guard, didn't you?" Lu Ran's strength loosened slightly, but it was still against his neck, "Do you want to know?" ”

Chen Yang was worried at the moment, for fear that this King Lu Yan would be unhappy and wipe his neck.

"It's the people who paid for your news who paid for it." Lu Ran hooked his lips and smiled, "Can you tell me the truth now, General Chen?" ”

Chen Yang said cautiously: "Lord Lu, we have something to say, you put down the knife first......

Lu Ran had a smile on his face, but his voice was as cold as ice: "There is no deal for this, it's just that you can avoid death if you confess, it depends on how the general chooses." ”

Chen Yang swallowed his saliva and said, "I said." ”

A quarter of an hour later, Lu Ran took a confession and left the prison.

As soon as Gu Yuan came back from the military department, he bumped into Lu Ran, who was in a hurry: "What's wrong?" ”

"Something is wrong!" Lu Ran handed him the confession.

Gu Yuan took the confession, only glanced at it cursoly, and then left Lu Ran and hurriedly entered the palace.

Only Lu Ran was left messy in the wind: "Gu Yuan, you are in such a hurry, but give me a word!" Hey, give me back my confession! ”

Gu Yuan was worried that something would happen to Shen Zhixi, and when he saw Ming Qing confirm the situation, he realized that his worries were true.

He hurriedly let go of all his secret guards to find someone, and asked Shen Zhixi where he had been today, and almost didn't kill all the way to Tanzhe Temple.

The situation was urgent, and no one could say what Shen Ying was going to do, so Gu Yuan ordered someone to bring a message to Lu Ran and let Jinyiwei be on standby at any time.

Shen Ying had fallen into complete madness, and he told the assassins that if he didn't see Shen Zhixi's corpse tomorrow, he would have their heads headed.

The wind, frost, and sword are strictly pressing, even if they are allowed to assassinate the king and kill them, these outlaws will have nothing to say.

The situation on Shen Zhixi's side was already very bad, she was besieged on the roof by several assassins, and those assassins were all killers, making it clear that they wanted her to stay here.

She had already received an arrow wound on her body, and she gritted her teeth and pulled the arrow from her calf, throwing it at one of the Assassins approaching with all her might.

It just pierced the man's head, and after a scream, there was no more sound.

The corpse fell from the roof, and the flesh was blurred.

The rest of the people rushed towards her with a smirk, and Shen Zhixi searched all over her body, only to find that the hidden weapons she had brought with her were used to deal with the assassins.

But these assassins seemed to be unable to finish killing, one after another, and they were determined to kill her.

Shen Zhixi subconsciously took a step back, but accidentally stepped on the air and fell.

The expected pain didn't come as expected, and she fell into someone's arms.

"Why are you here?" Shen Zhixi asked softly.

Gu Yuan looked Shen Zhixi up and down, and when he saw her embarrassed appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed: "If I don't come, will I let you die?" ”

Over there, Yu An and the others had already solved the assassin, and Shen Zhixi hurriedly said: "I'm fine, but it's you, looking for me with great fanfare, don't you know that Shen Ying will kill you after killing me?" ”

Gu Yuan carried her into the carriage, took a blanket and let her lie down, and then said: "I have asked Lu Shidu's Jinyi guard to be on standby at any time, Shen Ying will always give your brother an explanation for the Qingzhou soldiers entering the city." ”

Shen Zhixi let out a soft "um" and closed her eyes again.

Gu Yuan lowered his eyes to look at the arrow wound on her calf, his brows furrowed.

But he still tried his best to control his emotions, and said softly: "Your Highness, promise me that next time you won't risk your life again, it's not worth it." ”

Shen Zhixi nodded, not knowing if she heard it or not.

Gu Yuan sighed, took out the medicine box and gave her medicine: "Does Your Highness know why Shen Ying killed you?" ”

Shen Zhixi said in a low voice: "Ming people don't say secret words, everyone knows that I still have his shortcomings in my hands...... You tap! ”

——

The dawn of Yandu seems to have been swallowed up by the dark night.

The lights of Suning Wangfu were bright, and a young man with a long body stood on several sides of the case without saying a word.

He knew that Shen Ying couldn't win.

The young man turned to face Shen Ying, and his tone was indifferent and full of regret: "I should go." ”

Shen Ying sent him out the back door and asked him, "Where is Mr. going?" ”

The young man smiled indifferently: "The world." ”

Shen Ying is not a master, as the last disciple of Yao Xi before he completely became a madman, of course he has to think about his own back path.

There are not many people in Beijing who can make Shen Ying call him "sir", and this person is counted as one.

Jinghe three years of new science and technology, the head of the Tang family in Jinchang, the Imperial Procuratorate supervised the imperial history Tang Xiujin.

Yao Xi once gave him an evaluation.

Tang Xiujin is not a loyal minister, nor will he be a traitor, he is a lonely minister.

Sending Tang Xiujin away, Shen Ying will finally have to face the road whose ending is already doomed.

He had heard a saying, "Today there is wine, and tomorrow there is drunk."

Is that all?

So be it.
