Chapter 209: Borrowing Strength
"What?"
All of a sudden, everyone in the room looked at him.
Xie Li was stunned for a moment, and after coming back to his senses, he hurriedly asked, "Brother Shen, what evidence have you found?" ”
When Song Huixin heard this, his expression was in a trance for a moment, and his eyes were clenched on Shen Ji.
Shen Ji nodded, looking sideways at the man on the side.
Seeing this, the man immediately understood, got up and walked out, leaving the place for the three of them.
Seeing the man leaving, Shen Ji calmed down, put the cloth bag offered by the man on the table, and tore open the slipknot to reveal the broken arrow inside.
"This was taken from General Song." Shen Ji pinched the second half of the arrow and said slowly, "There is a line of words engraved on the end of this arrow, which is a small Buddhist scripture. ”
Xie Li's eyes moved slightly, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, "Based on this alone, you can determine who is behind the scenes?" ”
Shen Ji pinched the tail of the arrow, and his tone was indifferent, "I once heard the fourth prince say that there is some knowledge in making arrows in the palace, and the saint believes in his life, and he does not want to bear a blood debt, so he ordered someone to engrave a Buddhist scripture on the tail of the arrow." ”
"This Buddhist scripture is carefully chosen, not to think about the dead, but to let the dead fly away and never enter reincarnation." Shen Ji sneered, his eyes full of sarcasm, "He is worried that he has created too many evils, for fear that the dead will enter reincarnation with his memories and come to kill him again." ”
"What do you mean......" Xie Li's eyes widened in disbelief, and the doubts in his heart suddenly dispersed, "The person who attacked my father-in-law...... It's the emperor. ”
Xie Li's eyes were like torches, and his tone was affirmative.
"Looks like you've figured it out yourself." Shen Ji put down the tail of the arrow and looked compassionate, "This matter was learned by the fourth prince by chance, and no one knows about it except for him and the emperor's henchmen. ”
"So ......" Song Huixin slowed down for a long time before he regained his voice, the corners of his mouth hooked up a wry smile, and his tone couldn't help trembling, "My father...... Did he die at the hands of his most loyal king? ”
When the words fell, Song Huixin was deeply shocked, crying and laughing, looking a little crazy.
Xie Li couldn't bear to see her, so he pressed her little head into his arms, and looked at Shen Ji opposite, his gaze was tenacious, "Brother Shen, please help me!" ”
"How do you want me to help?" Shen Ji frowned, feeling sorry for Seinfeld's death in his heart, and asked in a deep voice, "If I can do my part, I will naturally not shirk it." ”
Xie Li's face turned a little pale, and he pondered the method in his mind, holding Song Huixin's fingertips until he turned white.
"Leverage your strength."
A familiar voice sounded outside the door, and in the next moment, the door was pushed open again, and Fang Xu's beautiful face broke into everyone's sight.
"Mother?" Xie Li looked surprised, "Why are you here?" ”
"When such a big thing happens, you still want to hide it from me!" Fang Xu's face was pale, and he raised his voice and scolded.
When the words fell, the sharp eyes swept over everyone, and finally landed on Shen Ji's face.
Shen Ji met her gaze, his body was shocked, he lowered his head stupidly, and he didn't dare to say half a word.
"Mother......" Song Huixin couldn't help crying, looked at Fang Xu with teary eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "Mother, I don't have a family anymore......
Fang Xu looked at her like this, his eyes were filled with distress, he walked quickly to her side, raised his hand to help the weak Song Huixin up, led her to the chair, and coaxed softly, "Silly girl, aren't we your family?" ”
"Your father is gone, we are still here, you are not a child without a home." Fang Xu raised his hand to wipe away the tears on her face, and said softly, "General Song died tragically, you have to cheer up even more, if you fall, who will avenge him?" ”
Fang Xu came, Song Huixin's cry gradually weakened, and he also grasped a little hope in his heart.
Mother is right, only she is ...... in order to avenge his father and eldest brother!
"General Song died tragically, and Yongcheng Houfu must not be left alone." Fang Xu raised his eyes to look at the men in the room, and said in a low voice, "No matter what, let him pay for his blood debts." ”
Xie Li stood up, looked at Fang Xu fixedly, and said in a low voice, "What does Mother just say about borrowing strength, what is the intention? ”
Fang Xu stared at him, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you have the ability to pull the Son of Heaven off the horse?" ”
Xie Li looked stunned, and couldn't answer for a while.
"Madame, if you have any opinions, you might as well say it directly." Shen Ji spoke indifferently, looking humbly seeking advice.
Fang Xu secretly poked and glared at him, and patiently explained, "When the opponent's grade is several times higher than yours, it is a fool to shoot blindly." ”
"Now, there is only one way to go." Fang Xu sank his face and said calmly, "If you can't do one, it doesn't mean that thousands of you can't do it." ”
Hearing her words, Shen Ji and Xie Li both fell silent.
Fang Xu pinched the bridge of his nose, as if he thought the two of them were too sincere, and went straight to the point.
"Hou Ye had a subordinate named Fu Rong before his death, he was honest and extremely loyal, and now he is a blacksmith, I sent someone to find him and ask him to make the exact same arrow feathers."
"You send someone to take these arrows and feathers and assassinate the four princes."
"Four...... The Four Princes? ”
Xie Li was stunned, and couldn't understand what kind of medicine his mother was selling in this gourd for a while.
Shen Ji's mind moved, and after Fang Xu's click, he suddenly brightened, and his eyes that looked at her brightened a little.
"That's right, it's the Fourth Prince." Fang Xu hugged Song Huixin, his palm gently patted on her shoulder, she was originally a loving mother, but the words she said made people fall into an ice cellar, "The only one who can kill Lao Tzu is his child." ”
"You don't have to really kill him, just let him discover the mystery of this arrow's tail." A trace of murderous aura flashed in Fang Xu's eyes, and his tone was calm.
"Once he thinks that his father is going to kill him, he will definitely inform the queen and you henchmen, and at that time, the Zhu family will join forces with you, and the chances of winning will naturally be greater, not to mention ...... We still have more than half of the Ironclad Army. ”
"What's the use of just guarding my brother all day? It's better to cut through the mess quickly and take down that person directly. Fang Xu coldly hooked the corners of his lips, "Rebellion is much faster than succession." ”
The light in Xie Li's eyes became worse and worse, and a trace of excitement surged in his heart, "What Mother said is very true. ”
"It's better to give each prince a few arrows and turn him upside down." Shen Ji smiled with his eyebrows, his expression was calm and natural, "It just so happens that the eldest prince has not left Beijing yet, but he has already intended to rebel...... Why don't we take advantage of it? ”
Fang Xu looked at him with a smile and raised his eyebrows and asked, "You will draw inferences." ”
The corners of Shen Ji's lips twitched slightly, and his smile was much gentler, "It was taught by Madame well." ”
"This matter is so decided, I will ask someone to invite Fu Rong." Fang Xu waved his hand, looked down at Song Huixin, and his tone softened a little, "Huixin, do you want to go back to the house to rest for a while?" ”
Song Huixin shook his head, his expression was already numb, like an empty shell, "Mother, I want to go back to the General's Mansion, there are still a lot of ironclad soldiers waiting for me." (End of chapter)
