Chapter 116: Tug-of-war
When Du Xin arrived at the main courtyard, Zhu was still standing on the steps with the sword in his hand. Seeing Du Xin, she closed her eyes suddenly, and slowly opened them again after a long time.
She is blind, blindfolded, and has deceived herself for so many years, but she still came to this point.
Du Xin knelt down in front of Zhu, choked up and said:
"Mother, if there is anything wrong with your son, just say that you want your son's life, and your son will not say a word.
But you must not hurt yourself, otherwise how will your son live? ”
Du Zhe, who was standing behind Zhu, was so angry by Du Xin's performance that he almost fainted.
Shen Qingyang glared at him, and he couldn't hold back and didn't scold.
Zhu Shi behaved very mildly and said to Du Xin:
"I didn't know what was going on, and it was worth shouting and killing for your men.
You asked me to feed the prince medicine for you, but the prince has been unconscious, and until now, the medicine is still hot on the stove.
But these people suddenly rushed in, saying that Lord Shen and Miss Mei had murdered the prince and wanted to arrest them and punish them.
But Xin'er, I just watched Miss Mei wake up the prince, but Miss Mei said that the prince should not take medicine directly if he has been on an empty stomach for too long, and he should drink some porridge first, and wait for a while before taking medicine.
Xin'er, what the hell is going on? Did someone deliberately lie to you? ”
At this moment, Du Xincai was really a little panicked.
He actually didn't believe Zhu's words, but if the old prince really didn't die, then he was really asking for his own death.
Du Zhe was amazed, he really didn't expect that he, an aunt who had been stereotyped for most of her life, would have such profound acting skills.
In fact, the most nervous at this time were Zheng Long and his subordinates, and the news they got from Du Xin was:
In order to weaken the power of the Yan Palace, the imperial court sent Shen Qingyang and Mei Xue to murder the old prince in the name of curing the disease. As for the second son, Du Zhe, in order to snatch the position of the prince, he colluded with Shen Qingyang and Mei Xue.
But now, the eldest lady actually said that the old prince is still alive, and he can drink porridge.
So what are they doing?
Isn't it just looking for death?
Zheng Long was so nervous that he kept looking at Du Xin and Zhu's faces, trying to tell who was lying.
But his subordinates were not so calm, and as soon as Zhu's words fell, more than half of them were so frightened that they threw away the weapons in their hands directly.
Du Xin glanced back, and his heart became more and more anxious.
He had been planning for many years, so he naturally knew the deterrent power of the old Yan King in the northern army.
As long as the old prince is not dead, even if he is already lying down and will not move, no one dares to have a different heart.
After struggling in his heart for a moment, Du Xin still did the battle of the trapped beast, and kowtowed again and again and said:
"Mother, you must have been coerced by them, that's why you say that. Don't be afraid, I'll ...... now."
Before Du Xin's words were finished, Shen Qingyang threw the sword in his hand on the ground, and Liu Qi also threw away his double knife.
Zhu Shi turned around, and the swords in his hands slid lightly over the chests of Du Zhe, Shen Qingyang, and Liu Qi one by one, and then looked back at Du Xin and said:
"Look, Xin'er, do I look like I've been held hostage?"
Zheng Long was already so nervous that he was sweating, and couldn't help but walk up to Du Xin and ask:
"Shizi, what the hell is going on? Who of me and my brethren does not have a family behind to support? You can't joke with our lives. ”
As soon as Zheng Long's words fell, the remaining hesitant soldiers also put down their weapons one after another.
Du Xin was anxious, and stood up after yelling at Zheng Long, "Shut up", he didn't have the heart to pretend anymore, and said to Zhu with a cruel smile:
"Mother, since you said that grandpa is okay and can eat, then ask grandpa to come out and meet the soldiers, so as to prove that you were not coerced by these people to tell a lie."
Du Zhe couldn't help it, and took two steps forward with a limp, pointing at Du Xin and scolding:
"You dog, grandpa is so sick that you can't get up, and you still have the face to ask his old man to come out to see you? Why don't you go in and see Grandpa? ”
Du Xin sneered, and suddenly took out a piece of black iron tiger talisman from his sleeve and held it high and said:
"Do you think I'm stupid? Not to mention going into the bedroom to see grandpa, I'm afraid that as soon as I walk up the steps, you will kill me, right? ”
After speaking, he no longer paid attention to Zhu and Du Xin and the others, and turned to Zheng Long and the others with a tiger talisman and said:
"This is the military talisman of the Northern Army, and seeing this talisman is like seeing grandpa himself.
On the day Shen Qingyang first came, my grandfather handed me the talisman and ordered me to exercise all the rights of King Yan after his accident, do you understand?
If Grandpa is really what they say, then why is it that after several hours have passed, he has not even made a sound? ”
Zheng Long and the others naturally knew the meaning of this talisman, and there was indeed no sound from the old Yan King in the main room, so after listening to Du Xin's words, these people hesitated again.
Someone had already begun to bend down to pick up the weapons on the ground, Du Xin sneered silently with a gloomy face, and ordered the archers to immediately mount the arrows and bow them.
Shen Qingyang and Liu Qi didn't dare to be careless, and they were busy picking up their weapons from the ground and preparing to meet the enemy.
After this entanglement, more than an hour has passed.
Winter days are short, especially in the Northlands. It was the end of the day, and it was already getting dark.
The door of the main room was suddenly opened from the inside, and a girl in Tsing Yi walked out calmly.
Du Zhe was worried about Mei Xue's safety, he knew that Mei Xue was completely incapable of kung fu, so he hurriedly said:
"Miss Mei, come into the house quickly, we will be here."
Mei Xue shook her head, raised her hand to signal Du Zhe not to speak again, and then glanced around Du Xin, Zheng Long and the others with an indifferent expression and said:
"Du Xin, the prince has already eaten, but you can't take the medicine you gave because it contains highly poisonous.
As for why, I think you know best. ”
As she spoke, she looked at Zheng Long and the soldiers again and said:
"Since you can't tell the truth from the fake, I have a suggestion for you to choose from.
There is still about an hour before dark, and if the prince cannot come out to see you at that time, I will confess everything that the prince has said, and I will kill or kill you.
If the prince can come out to see you at that time, you don't have to be afraid, I can promise you now, as long as you can not do it within an hour, I will plead with the prince to intercede with you at that time.
I guarantee you this with my life, and you also know in your hearts whether the old prince is a person who knows right from wrong. ”
After listening to Mei Xue's words, knowing that the old prince would definitely not worry about his life, Zhu, who had been nervous, breathed a sigh of relief, her body shook, and she fell to the ground uncontrollably.
Du Zhe hurriedly knelt on the ground and helped Zhu Shiban up.
Du Xin was anxious, and loudly ordered Zheng Long and the others to say:
"Don't listen to this witch's nonsense, she's just dragging her feet. Shen Qingyang has close friends in the army, and they must be waiting for helpers. ”
Mei Xue smiled, looked at Du Xin after folding her cloak and said:
"The talismans are all in your hands, whose soldiers and horses do you think Lord Shen can mobilize into Yanzhou City?"
Zheng Long and the others were already hesitant, and Mei Xue's words were equivalent to giving them the best reassurance.
Therefore, no matter how Du Xin shouted next, they only lowered their heads and listened.
But man will not move.
Babies, because my daughter's holiday schedule has changed irrevocably, I need to spend more time with her, so from today I can only change every day, I'm very sorry, if possible, I will strive to double change every day.
