Chapter Seventy-Six: Counter-Killing
"Are you alright?" Pei Ze looked at Shangguan Shenxue's right hand holding his left arm, and saw that his wound was still bleeding, so he took out the jade bottle from his arms and handed it to her, and said softly: "Jin Chuangyao, it can stop the bleeding." ”
"Pei Ze, I was injured to save you, and you still let me bandage myself, do you have a conscience?"
"Men and women don't kiss."
"I'm going to die of blood loss, and you still want to tell me the truth" Shangguan Shenxue glared at him, pretending to be a scoundrel and said: "I have no strength, I don't know if that dark arrow is poisonous?" But don't bother Master Pei, just let me die in this wilderness, and then you can help me collect the body. ”
Seeing her long string of breathless and ungasping face as if complaining bitterly, Pei Ze couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, why didn't he find out that she was such an unreasonable person before? Thinking of this, he could only resign himself to tearing the strip of cloth and bandaging it gently, "It's not poisonous, you can't die." ”
"Oh" Shangguan Shenxue smiled as if the plan had succeeded, and then said, "What now?" Our whereabouts have been exposed, so presumably the shopkeeper Liao will be on guard. ”
"Hmm..."After pondering for a while, Pei Ze took out something from his sleeve and said in a low voice: "Look what this is." ”
"Cloud Shadow Dart Bureau?" Shangguan Shenxue looked at the sign engraved on the arrow in his hand, and said suspiciously: "But what does this represent?" ”
"Do you know Master Nilian of Lingyin Mountain?" After that, seeing the puzzled look on his face, he knew that she must have never heard of this person, so he explained to him softly: "Master Nilian's original name is Yun Mengying, and she is the abbot of Lingyin Mountain and the adoptive mother of Yao Xuetang. ”
"Yao Xuetang?"
"Not bad" Pei Ze nodded lightly, as if he had thought of something, and said in a deep voice: "I was negligent when I was in the capital, this Liao shopkeeper can still have a relationship with Yao Mansion, no wonder I can leak information several times and three times, it turns out that I have found the wrong direction from the beginning!" ”
"Wait" Shangguan Shenxue interrupted his speculation with a loud voice, frowned lightly and asked, "How did you learn about these things?" Could it be that everything is just your conjecture, after all, there is no evidence, is it? ”
"This sign is evidence" After a pause, Pei Ze picked up the arrow in front of him and observed it carefully, and affirmed: "There will be no mistake, many people in Beijing don't know, in fact, the behind-the-scenes shopkeeper of the Cloud Shadow Dart Bureau is Master Nilian, and now that she has passed away, the inheritance left behind is naturally owned by her adopted daughter, it is Yao Xuetang!" ”
"Are you sure?"
"What" Pei Ze glanced at Shangguan Shenxue, who had been suspicious, and said curiously: "Do you dare not believe these things, or do you think I am talking nonsense?" ”
"I just think that you were influenced by Song Wan and became irrational in your judgment of that Yao Xuetang."
"What are you doing with Song Wan" Pei Ze looked at Shangguan Shenxue with a disapproving expression, and responded: "Besides, as an official of Dali Temple, wouldn't I be clear about this point of public and private?" Besides, this incident was also said by Yao Xuetang himself when he cooperated with King Qi at that time, and I just overheard it secretly. ”
"Hmph, you'd better really distinguish between public and private" Shangguan Shenxue glanced at him with hatred, and said softly: "If it is according to what you say, then what is their purpose?" It won't be to let Yao Xuetang enter Xiaofu smoothly, what is the benefit of this for Huayilou? ”
"I don't know, but now at least the Eighth Prince can be temporarily excluded, as for Yao Xuetang.... I think her purpose is not only to enter the Xiao Mansion, but more likely" After saying that, as if he suddenly thought of something, Pei Ze stood up abruptly and walked out.
"Pei Ze, where are you going?"
"Back to Beijing, Song Wan is in danger"....
In the Xiao Mansion, Song Wan was pacing back and forth in Shuxiang, as if she was waiting..."Imperial Princess"
"How?"
"Well, everything is ready."
Hearing this, Song Wan breathed a long sigh of relief, since she talked to Xiao Beichen, she had a plan in her heart, it stands to reason that since everything starts with the Lantern Festival, the scene is the most likely place to find clues, and this Yao Xuetang... Although she has no evidence yet, she always feels that this person and the Lantern Festival seem to have nothing to do with it! "Ziyu, over there in Huayi Building, have you come back?"
"Back to the imperial concubine, Dali Temple has been released today, I believe he is already in Huayi Building."
"Okay, bring the secret guard, let's go to Huayi Lou to meet the celebrity next to the shopkeeper Liao!"
"Yes".....
Huayi Building, as soon as Song Wan and Ziyu stepped into the lobby, the second child in the store greeted them and said respectfully: "The imperial concubine is here, but is there anything important?" ”
"Xiao Er, is your shopkeeper Liao?"
"Imperial Concubine Qiyu, Shopkeeper Liao has returned to his hometown, and he is not in the capital recently."
"Is it" Song Wan looked up and looked around, and saw that although it was dinner time, the lobby was unusually quiet at this time, and although the only few tables of guests were also eating, they were obviously absent-minded, and this scene was like..."Yulan sees the imperial concubine"
Her thoughts were interrupted, Song Wan looked up, and found that the person she was looking for was coming down from the second floor at this time, waiting to walk in front of her, Song Wan said softly: "Yulan, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Long time no see? Ziyu was secretly shocked when she heard this, but the imperial concubine is an old acquaintance with this one? But how could it be, she hadn't heard the man say it, could it....
"The imperial concubine came today, but it's still the same?"
"Hmm" After saying that, Song Wan waved her hand and signaled Ziyu to wait in place, and just wanted to turn around and go to the guest room on the second floor, but she was lightly stopped, "Imperial Princess, let the slave and maid accompany you, if there is any danger, the slave and maid can protect the imperial concubine as soon as possible." ”
"Hehe, this girl is interesting to talk about" Yulan shook her head lightly and said noncommittally: "Why, is it possible that our Huayilou still wants to assassinate the imperial concubine in front of everyone?" ”
"You"
"Ziyu" Song Wan interrupted the conversation between the two sides in time, and said in a low voice: "Ziyu, you wait for me here, I'll come when I go, don't worry, it's okay." ”
"But"
"Ziyu" Song Wan frowned lightly, and said coldly: "Don't you even listen to my orders?" ”
"Yes, Imperial Princess.....
"This girl is quite capable of pretending" stayed in the guest room on the second floor, and Yulan said to Song Wan: "If you hadn't said it, I really wouldn't have seen that this girl still has a different heart?" ”
"It's just puppets" Song Wan turned around and sat on the main seat, looked at Yulan's gentlemanly appearance in white, smiled lightly, and said: "You are becoming more and more skilled in cross-dressing now, and you have been lurking here for so long, and no one has discovered your daughter's body, which I admire." ”
"Aren't you talking nonsense" After Yulan sat down beside Song Wan with a big grin, she glanced at her as if speechless, and then said: "Have you forgotten who my master is, although he is in Yangzhou, if he knows that I dare to smash his signboard in the capital, he won't come over and kill me immediately?" ”
"Hehe, too, no wonder you are so strictly guarded" After saying that, Song Wan took out an object and placed it in front of her, and said in a low voice: "This is the place where Shopkeeper Liao is hiding, I suspect that they are involved with the Eighth Prince and even the Yao Mansion, you have to be careful." ”
"Jinan?" Yulan glanced up at her and said suspiciously: "This is not the hometown of Shopkeeper Liao, are you sure that the source of information is accurate?" ”
"Sure, this is Pei Ze who came back to the capital from Jinan Flying Pigeon, there will be no mistake."
Hearing this, Yulan raised his eyebrows unintentionally, and suddenly said: "It turned out to be Master Pei, then it's no wonder, after all, how could he be willing to give you fake news."
"What?" Seeing that she was only talking to herself, Song Wan was afraid that she had missed something, so she stepped forward and asked again: "What did you just say?" ”
"It's okay", this guy can be emotionally slow, if it weren't for Brother Su's sake, she really wouldn't have been so concerned about her affairs! "Now that the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, are you sure you will act today?"
"Well, I can't delay it any longer, although I am not completely sure yet, but the closer I get to the day when Yao Xuetang enters the door, I am always very uneasy in my heart, I am afraid that the matter will not be cut off at the beginning, and when it ferments, it will be too late."
"Just one Yao Xuetang, can you be afraid of being like this?"
"No" Song Wan frowned, and said in a solemn tone: "What I'm afraid of is not her, but the conspiracy behind her, this person's heart is like a poisonous scorpion, it's not as simple as it seems on the surface!" ”
"Yes, but I've been lurking in Huayi Building for so long, and I've never seen Shopkeeper Liao have any contact with her" After a pause, Yulan secretly recalled, and said in a deep voice: "The matter of the Lantern Festival is indeed as you said before, someone used drugs to control the people in black and let them unconsciously commit murder in the downtown area. But the person behind it never showed up, and the person who came to pass the word was an old man named Mr. Lan, who I also secretly checked, and he was a trader, and he didn't have much value. ”
"Yulan" Song Wan listened carefully to the movement outside the door, and said in a low voice: "Is the person saved?" ”
Well? Why did the topic change so quickly? If she hadn't known Song Wan for a long time, she really couldn't react just now. "At the temple in the suburbs, when I arrived, the person was already delirious, so he forced his breath and his face was disfigured."
"What about the murderer?"
"I'm sorry, I was a step late, I didn't catch it, but I have placed someone in a family in Xiangyun Village, it is ours, don't worry."
"Well, Yulan" Song Wan pulled out the soft sword in her waist and cut off the flying arrows neatly, and said in a low voice: "As soon as today is over, you will go back to Yangzhou, my cousin is still waiting for you in the house, don't risk it here" The words fell, and before she could say anything, Song Wan raised the jade sword in her hand and quickly joined the battle.... Seeing this, Yulan could only follow closely behind and protect, joking, if something happened to Brother Su's baby cousin, would she be able to enter the gate of Su Mansion smoothly?
"Imperial Princess, there is an ambush here, and the slave and maid will cover you to go first"
Hearing this, Song Wan glanced at Yulan who was following closely behind, then turned around and followed Ziyu to the other direction...
"Imperial Princess, I have sent someone to inform the Lord, you bear with it a little longer, and no one will be able to catch up after you run through here."
"Purple Jade"
"What's the matter, Imperial Princess" Seeing that she stopped and looked at herself indifferently, Ziyu was suddenly shocked, could she have found out? "Imperial Princess, if you don't leave, the assassins will soon be chasing you."
"Assassins? Oh, are you talking about yourself? ”
"Emperor, princess, don't joke with the slave, the slave doesn't understand what you're saying."
"Ziyu, no" Song Wan took a step forward, looked coldly at the person with a fake skin in front of her, and said awe-inspiringly: "Should I call you, Lu Lian?" ”
