Volume 1: Cangyan Festival Chapter 47 and Separation
In the terrible silence of death, the long night finally fell.
Xie Wuyi walked through the ruins of Jiangnanzhuang for a while with a fire fold, stopping next to the sharp knife array that the designer of the organ compared to "Xiaomei Cong". She crouched down and found that most of the knives had not been deformed after being blown up by Jiangnanzhuang, except for the part that had been washed away by the water.
"It's a special forging method."
By the light of the fire, Xie Wuyi carefully examined a blade. The blade is as thin and tough as silk, and the blade is as smooth as a mirror.
Xiao Wei also gathered beside her. Unlike Xie Wuyi's observation of the knife itself, the first thing Xiao Wei saw was a very inconspicuous "dagger" mark engraved on the junction of the handle, one of which was extremely light, and the scratch could only be seen if it was very close.
This mark is familiar.
Xiao Wei half-narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly in his heart.
Scattered memories poured in and shattered into colorful pieces of glass.
Father, Father, do you really know how the crown prince you are most proud of died?
Xie Wuyi went around to check in the distance, Xiao Wei was thinking alone, and there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance.
"Lin Heng!" Zhu Langxing turned over and dismounted, and ran in front of Xiao Wei in two steps, "Is there anything wrong with me in such a hurry?" β
Xiao Wei couldn't see Xie Wuyi's figure in the rest of the light, and only hid the blade behind him with his backhand, with a long smile, "Don't look at it, is the old general in good health?" β
"My grandfather is tough," Zhu Langxing scratched his head suspiciously, "You called me here at night just to ask this?" β
A hint of chill flashed in Xiao Wei's eyes, he raised the knife and rotated it a few times between his index and middle fingers, and the dazzling silver light reflected the faces of the two of them.
"This is the mark of Zhu Jiajun, right?" Xiao Wei chuckled, "The Zhu family has been brave for generations, holding a gun as a chopstick, using iron as clothing, and Emperor Gaozu personally gave the 'dagger' as the symbol of the Zhu family." Yesterday, this king almost died under this knife, I don't know how Brother Shaoguan plans to explain it? β
Xiao Wei is in danger?
Zhu Langxing looked at his good brother who was very different from the past in a daze, and didn't know what to say for a while. He swallowed his saliva a few times, and Fang asked awkwardly:
"What do you suspect?"
Xiao Wei looked to the side silently, he should know what he doubted.
Zhu Langxing had a flash of inspiration, and co-author Xiao Wei suspected that Zhu Jia's furniture had built this broken Zhuangzi? Or do you suspect that the Zhu family has something to do with Xiao Yao's death? Don't look at Zhu Langxing's rough branches and leaves, he is slow in the things on the side, and he can only understand the affairs of the soldiers.
Two years ago, Xiao Wei was demoted to the imperial mausoleum because he pleaded for the family of the rebel, he fled privately with the help of Xiao Wu and Zhu Langxing, and lurked in the village of Broken Nose, Zhu Langxing had already guessed who he was guarding.
Since Xiao Wei returned to Beijing, the situation in Zeyang has been turned upside down, and Zhu Langxing, no matter how stupid he is, knows that Xiao Wei is secretly stirring up the storm. Xiao Yao is his heart knot, Zhu Bojun is Chu Yufeng's mentor, and he went to the Qiongchuan battlefield with Xiao Yao, Xiao Wei called himself at this juncture, what else can he do?
Zhu Langxing's blood suddenly surged, he grabbed Xiao Wei's collar, and said loudly: "It is impossible for my grandfather to instruct the old immortal surnamed Chu to harm Prince Jiahui, our Zhu family has never been proud of its merits, it is impossible to do such a thing!" β
"Brother Shaoguan's joy and anger are out of his chest, how can you know the thoughts of the old general?" Xiao Wei still didn't give up, "This king grew up with his eldest brother since he was a child, and his temperament is very familiar with this king. The eldest brother is resolute, and in the first battle of Qiongchuan, he let the Zhu family army be stationed in situ, responsible for logistics and supply, and he himself led the army to kill. If the old general deliberately delayed the military rations for a few days for the sake of military merits, it would not be impossible to kill the eldest brother's spirit. β
What the hell is he talking about?
Zhu Langxing's brain is buzzing. Xiao Wei's words are too informative, Zhu Langxing only has one point of conviction, Zhu Jiazhong is upright and upright, and it is impossible for Zhu Bojun to harm Prince Dayu for this little profit.
"You, you think of my grandfather like this?"
"It's the facts in front of him that make this king have to think like this." Xiao Wei waved his sleeves and knocked off Zhu Langxing's hand, "Zhu Shaoguan, this king is not afraid to tell you that this king was belittled by his father because he interceded for Qiao Chun's family, and this king is a dignified prince, and now it has fallen to the point where everyone can talk about it and everyone can kill it." If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to find out the real culprit behind the killing of his eldest brother as soon as possible and regain his foothold in the court, what did this king do so much and almost put his life into it? β
"Xiao Linheng, don't be unreasonable!" Zhu Langxing was angry, and gritted his teeth and yelled at Xiao Wei, who saw who was biting whom, "I don't care what you want to do, but our Zhu family is innocent, you can't splash dirty water on our family just because my grandfather is Chu Yufeng's teacher!" β
Xiao Wei didn't hear this, he raised his chin, and his voice was cold, "This king is in action step by step, collecting information from all over the world, using all the people around him, and finally getting to this day, but I found that none of the people around me are clean, and you are all lying to this king." Why, is it because this king is not worthy of a truth? β
It's all a mess.
Is he possessed by a youkai?
Zhu Langxing couldn't help but be stunned. In his impression, Xiao Wei has a good brain, is righteous, and generous, and is a very interesting person. On weekdays, except for joking, he never puts on a show, and he doesn't talk about "this king" one by one.
No, there must be something wrong.
But Zhu Langxing's brain had long been entwined into a dead knot, and he finally pulled out a thread from it.
Take advantage of the people around you......
Xiao Wei called him a brother and a brother, did he start to suspect Zhu Bojun a long time ago?
Zhu Langxing looked at the ruins behind Xiao Wei, and suddenly remembered the battle Xie Wuyi had in Pinglin Garden. He remembered that Xie Wuyi was good, if that was the case......
But how could it be, how could Xiao Wei use him and Xie Wuyi, they were clearly the closest people to him!
After a while, Zhu Lang Xingcai said, "You brought the princess here...... Is it also exploitation? β
Xiao Wei sneered in a low voice and stared at the night sky proudly, "If you don't find someone who is in the middle of the rivers and lakes to be born and die in front, can this king crack the mechanism and get the evidence?" His gaze moved to Zhu Langxing, and his tone was abrupt, "What's more, she is not the daughter of the Xie family at all, Qiao Chun's daughter, but a stepping stone for this king." β
After inspecting the ruins, Xie Wuyi couldn't help but pause after stepping on a low wall.
Stepping stone.
Use it and throw it away.
This was the first time she had heard Xiao Wei describe herself.
Xie Wuyi tightened his cloak, blending his body with the darkness, and listened silently to the conversation between the two.
"Xiao Linheng, what disease are you committing?"
Zhu Langxing held back for a long time before holding back a pale question, after all, he didn't know Xie Jiuniang, let alone Qiao Wei. He only knew that she was the princess personally chosen by Xiao Wei, Xiao Wei would shoot the assassin in front of people for her, would not close his eyes for several days in order to take care of her, and would not hesitate to go to the Hongmen banquet for her.
Therefore, let the whole Zeyang envy the plaice be deeply affectionate...... Are they all fake?
Xiao Wei broke the blade in his hand and replied without hesitation: "This king wants to prove to his father that this king is right, it is this king who has found out the real culprit who killed his eldest brother, what are the Qiao family and the Xie family?" β
The blade disappeared into the sleeve, and Xiao Wei snorted coldly, "The king has already obtained the evidence, I wish you Shaoguan should be happy, and you should be happy to wish the family, Jiangnan Village was destroyed by the king himself." Otherwise, this king will send Chu Yufeng to the guillotine tomorrow, and it will be the turn of the old general the day after tomorrow! β
"You-" Zhu Langxing's eyes widened, and he was about to punch this madman to cripple, but he held back stiffly, his eyes changed and changed.
Xiao Wei turned around along Zhu Langxing's line of sight and saw Xie Wuyi standing silently at a glance. The wind ruffled her cloak and long hair, darkening the night.
"Is it true? Gangnamzhuang's mechanism was triggered by you? Xie Wuyi raised his eyes and spoke, his tone calm and calm.
Xiao Wei stared at her steadily, there was no trace of warmth in his eyes, but the snow full of wax moon, fluttering and sprinkling, fell to the ground silently.
"Yes."
The snowflake fell straight into Xie Wuyi's heart, like a sharp piercing piercing his lungs, cooling all the temperatures.
He's been lying to her.
Yes, after all, she is the bereaved family of a rebel, why should he help her unconditionally?
In the case of military ration escort, everyone was sacrificed to the flag, and the only one who lived was he protecting.
He was obviously superb, but in the Guanyin Temple, he pretended to be powerless, luring her to save him, and defined all the subsequent deliberate approaches as "repaying gratitude".
When she was struggling with how to hide her true identity, he married her, frequently showed favor to her under the cover of her squirrel, guided her to collect evidence, and walked all the way from Chu's mansion to Jiangnanzhuang, and found the evidence that Chu Yufeng framed Qiao Chun.
Xie Wuyi, who has always prided himself on being quick-witted, didn't realize that it was Xiao Wei's plan from beginning to end.
Under the bleak moonlight, Xiao Wei's smile looked extremely cruel, "You and I are using each other, who is more noble than whom?" β
Xie Wuyi's brows twitched unconsciously.
She is indeed not qualified to talk to Xiao Wei about exploitation, the two of them have their own plans, but his plans are bigger.
Chu Yufeng fell, Xie Wuyi lost his use value, and the Xie family will also be charged with bullying the monarch, so that there will be vacant seats in the military department and the official department, and they can be replaced with new people.
Ridiculous! Why would she think that Xiao Wei could really break away from the court.
Even she knew that there was a gap to take advantage of when she moved, how could Xiao Wei, as a prince, not know.
He has been dormant in Luzhou Broken Nose Village for two years and is waiting for an opportunity, waiting for a chance to reshuffle the cards, an opportunity to both trip him up and lift him up again.
Xiao Wei's library contains all kinds of news about Zeyang, which is not what he should do as an idle prince. Everything has traces to follow, and he has already reminded Xie Wuyi openly and secretly that she believes in him too much.
Just because of the childhood side, because of his meticulous tolerance and care, she was willing to temporarily abandon her guard, cooperate with him, and be born and die together.
This gamble is about to be lost.
That's it, anyway, they are going to reconcile and separate.
Without the hole cards, Xie Wuyi had no choice but to leave. Now she only hopes that Xiao Wei will take care of the last love and let her live.
"I understand, thank you for your mercy."
Xie Wuyi crossed Xiao Wei and Zhu Langxing, a blue-purple glimmer flickering between her left fingers. She snatched two horses from Chunni's hands and said to Hua Feidu in a deep voice: "Hua Niang, let's go." β
"Princessβ"
Xie Wuyi didn't look back, letting Chunni's shouts die out in the boundless darkness.
She gripped the reins tightly in her hand, her nails nearly piercing the palm of her hand. After entering Zeyang City, Xie Wuyi habitually went to the direction of Yanwang's Mansion, and only turned his horse's head halfway before he turned his horse's head and flew back to Xie's Mansion with flowers.
Xie Zongyi and his wife didn't know what was going on, but when they saw Xie Wuyi's face as pale as frost, they were very frightened. Xie Wuyi paused and said lightly: "King Yan has to deal with business, so I will come back first if I am bored, don't worry." β
Xie Wuyi had already spoken, Xie Zongyi was already ashamed of her, so he didn't dare to ask more, and Xie Chun was not at home, so he could only let Xie Xuan go to investigate. But Xie Wuyi locked himself in the room, and Xie Xuan knocked on the door several times but couldn't get in.
The cold wind was blowing, everyone in the Xie Mansion was panicked, and Xie Wuyi also sat in front of the window for a night.
Although I was ready to leave, I didn't expect it to be in such a hurry.
As the sky grew brighter, Xie Wuyi took a piece of paper and wrote down three big characters-
and leaving the book.
An inexplicable hot current rushed to his eyes, and Xie Wuyi suddenly tilted his head and eased for a few breaths before continuing to write.
"The three generations are married, and they are husband and wife. Relying on the fate of the union, there is no example of words. The dry habitat and the moon are combined, and the water is full; The arbor is nine standing, and the vine is three. The two hearts are different, it is difficult to return to the same mind, and now they return to their own ways, and they are happy. I wish for the jade crown and purple ribbon, long live the autumn. Resolve grievances and release knots, and don't hate each other. β
Xie Wuyi blew dry the ink and neatly sealed the book. She pushed open the bedroom door and told Hua Feidu, who was guarding outside: "Hua Niang, please hand it over to King Yan in person, and there is no need to talk about the rest." β
Last night, Hua Feidu clearly heard the dispute between Xie Wuyi and Xiao Wei, and she couldn't understand why the two who were walking side by side a moment ago became like this in a blink of an eye. Looking at Xie Wuyi, who was dark and green at the moment, Hua Feidu's heart was sour. She thought about it, but still didn't say anything, took the letter and turned to go out.
Hua Feidu had just walked for less than a moment when Xie Wuyi heard Xie Xuan striding over and slamming the door loudly.
"Princess, He Yushi led troops to arrest you, and he is about to break into the mansion!"
