Chapter 14: Throwing yourself into the net
……
Early the next morning.
The divine light is magnificent, and the spring light is shining.
Xiao Jing sat in front of the desk, jade and ice, and his eyes were like paint.
The slender fingers like jade are caressing a small statue, from the black hair like silk, the red eyebrows, the red jade, and finally to the slender waist of Suyue.
Grinding hard, back and forth.
His thin lips were dripping, and they were gradually turning the pale pink of the plain day.
"Miss Shen, Young Master Shen, Your Highness is in the fasting room." Outside, there were the respectful voices of Ye Yi and Ye Er.
Shen Yi and Shen Ce bowed their heads and walked into the room.
Yeichi and Yeji looked at each other behind their backs and smiled.
His Highness had only recuperated for a day and a night, and his injuries were so serious that he was much better.
When Miss Shen is by His Royal Highness's side, she is a "good medicine" that can cure all diseases.
Xiao Jing put his big hand together and hid the small statue in the wide sleeves of his coat.
He stood up, a golden beam of light depicting his somber figure.
Shen Yi looked at Xiao Jing, her eyebrows were as gentle as the moon, and she asked softly, "Ah Jing, how are the injuries on your body?" ”
Xiao Jingdan's phoenix eyes were adorned with scorching starlight, and his voice was slightly hoarse with a low texture: "It's already good." ”
He lifted his sword, as if he wanted to dance in front of Shen Yi.
Unexpectedly, the sword in his hand fell to the ground.
Shen Yi's eyelashes trembled, and she walked over to pick up Xiao Jing's long sword.
She frowned and said, "Ah Jing, don't be reckless."
"I'll keep this sword for you until you're healed."
Xiao Jing narrowed his eyes and pursed his thin lips.
He said in a loud voice, "Got it."
Shen Ce watched Xiao Jing's flawless movements coldly from the side.
He snorted expressionlessly, the prince was younger than him and Yi Niang, and he had a lot of eyes.
If it weren't for the fact that the prince had saved Yi Niang twice, he would have exposed his face.
Shen Yi looked at Xiao Jing's inexplicably aggrieved handsome face, wondering if she was too harsh.
Her voice softened: "Ah Jing, you interrogated General Xiahou and the others today, and I have my eldest brother to go with you, okay?"
Xiao Jing raised his eyes, and Danfeng's eyes were wrapped in deep erosion fireworks.
He nodded obediently.
Shen Yi smiled lightly, and the thoughts in his heart drifted away.
Yesterday, Ah Jing inadvertently said that Taifu had not taught him the most basic way of the prince, and faintly wanted to raise him.
Ah Jing's position as the crown prince, too many people are eyeing him. The Luncheng flood case involves too much, which is far more complicated than imagined, and even if it is further investigated, it will lead to death.
But since she got involved for Ah Jing, there was no reason to retreat.
After a cup of tea.
Dungeon.
Squeak.
Yeyi pushed open the iron gate, and a strong smell of blood rushed towards him.
The yellow torches flickered, flickering and flickering.
The three prisoners tied to the wooden frame were mottled with bloodstains, and their heads hung down in gloomy expressions.
Hearing the movement, General Xiahou raised his head, and he saw Shen Yi in plain clothes at first glance.
At the palace night banquet that year, Miss Shen played a song of flat sand and falling geese, which shocked the audience and won everyone's applause.
He disdainfully drank all the sake in the golden bottle, and sneered, a delicate noblewoman like Shen Yi who was raised in the deep boudoir could only dance and make tea, and if it was in the midst of war, it would inevitably become a trophy.
But it was Shen Yi, who he looked down on the most, who defeated their plan!
General Xiahou's eyes fell on Xiao Jing again, and he smiled arrogantly: "Xiao Jing, Xiao Jing, the prince of a dignified country, actually asked a female stream to come to the rescue, it is really a big joke."
Xiao Jing looked at General Xiahou indifferently, and Danfeng's eyes revealed a strange and treacherous coldness.
Shen Yi's eyes were clear, and he said in a calm tone: "General Xiahou must feel a great shame when he was planted under the hands of a woman in my district."
General Xiahou's smile stopped abruptly, and there was an angry ruthlessness on his face: "Shen Yi, you just took advantage of our unpreparedness and won a game by luck, and next, you are bound to lose completely, not only losing your life, but also affecting Shenhou Mansion!" ”
Shen Yi's eyes were rippling, and his tone was calm: "Then let's see if the people behind you are clever, or if we are superior."
She changed her words and said regretfully: "But it's a pity that General Xiahou didn't have the number of lives to see."
One sentence completely smashed the rampant pretending of General Xiahou, and he was angry: "You!"
Peijun Commander, who had been silent, suddenly said: "We were tortured for two days and two nights, and there was no news from us."
"Miss Shen acted decisively, why don't you kill me and the other three to vent your hatred?"
Shen Yi looked at this young Peijun commander, his eyebrow bones were extremely high, and there was a hint of fierceness in his expression.
She was calm and elegant: "We will neither kill you, nor will we torture you again."
"Just spread the news that you have confessed to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and then pretend to guard the battle, and the master behind you will not be able to bear it."
A trace of disappointment flashed in Peijun Commander's eyes, he thought that Miss Shen was a smart person, but he didn't expect it to be so.
His tone was almost sarcastic: "Miss Shen wants to catch turtles in the urn?" Such a shallow scheme can be seen at a glance. ”
Suddenly, the corners of Shen Yi's lips hooked, and the embroidered face Hibiscus smiled.
Her voice was indifferent, but it was a pearl of words: "The county ordered you to be wrong, this game is a mental battle."
"Even if the master behind you sees through the situation, this matter is very important and endangers the lives of many people. He ordered someone to probe and report again, and when he dreamed back at midnight, would his heart hesitate, whether he would be panicked. ”
"We have chips in our hands and can wait, but does the master behind you dare? Presumably, he didn't dare. This is a game we will win. ”
The entire dungeon was silent, and everyone's hearts were shocked.
They looked at Shen Yi who was smiling in a daze, and soon their eyes flashed with appreciation, and they were almost stunned.
Miss Shen hit their hearts word by word, yes, once the seeds of doubt are buried in their hearts, even if they pretend to be calm, even if they know that it is impossible,
This kind of seed will eventually take root and sprout out of the ground.
Xiao Jingdan's phoenix eyes swept towards everyone's look of amazement, and the bottom of his eyes was gradually infected with scarlet shadows.
His eyelids drooped, and his slender black eyelashes hid his surging emotions.
Jealousy is in the heart, and selfish desires are at work.
……
Another piece of news came from Luncheng, which sounded like thunder in Chang'an City, and dispersed heavily.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally interrogated several treacherous people who wanted to destroy Luncheng, and under torture, they finally confessed to the mastermind behind the scenes.
It is reported that the mastermind behind this scene is far-sighted, and the peach and plum are all over the world.
After the Janissaries of the Shenji Battalion and the guards of the Shenhou Mansion did their post-disaster work in Luncheng, they brought a few witnesses back to Chang'an City to report to the emperor and punish the mastermind behind the scenes.
The hairpin nobles of Chang'an City were uneasy in their hearts, and they faintly felt that the wind and rain were coming, as if a pair of hands were disturbing the balance between the gate valve of the scholar clan and the royal family, setting off stormy waves.
A mansion in Chang'an City.
The man in black looked anxious: "Lord, do you think the rumors in Chang'an City are true, or is it the prince's conspiracy?"
The mastermind behind the scenes is scheming, and the peach and plum are all over the world, which is clearly directed at the lord.
The old man's cloudy eyes were full of murderous intent, and he stroked his white beard: "The old man is sure that the prince does not have such a deep scheming, it should be Shen Zishan's daughter who is setting up a game to lead the old man to show his feet." ”
He sneered: "The old man has been in the court for decades, and I haven't seen any storms or calculations." This matter is nothing more than a smoke screen, and there is no need to take it seriously. ”
After hearing this, the man in black calmed down.
That's true, the lord has been an official for more than 30 years, and he is far-sighted, Miss Shen is just a girl who has not yet reached the end of the year, where is the opponent of the lord?
He respectfully said, "Yes, my lord."
After a while, the old man hesitated, and his voice was deep: "Send someone to explore the situation in Lun City."
The man in black's heart lifted up again, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
His voice was obscure: "Subordinates obey."
Time flies by like a white horse, fleeting.
For several days, the Praetorian Guards of the Shenji Battalion and the guards of the Shenhou Mansion were still in Luncheng to methodically clean the horse roads and repair the destroyed houses.
The common people saw it in their eyes and remembered it in their hearts, and firmly remembered the kindness between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Shenhou Mansion.
Without them, the people of Luncheng would inevitably have no fixed place to live, and hunger and cold would be staggered, what a miserable situation of life and extinction.
And the number of Praetorian guards guarding the dungeon is increasing day by day, and it is heavily guarded, and not even a bird can fly in.
On the eve of His Royal Highness the Prince's return to Chang'an City.
Three watches.
The night is like black ink that is so thick that it can't be dissolved, and you can't see your fingers.
A line of Praetorian Guards stood guard in front of the dungeon door, their eyes like torches, and their swords at their waists.
Taking advantage of the night, more than a dozen people in black quietly lurked, and they approached the dungeon step by step.
The Praetorian Guards were deaf and clear-sighted, and they found the man in black, and his voice was awe-inspiring: "Who is here?"
More than a dozen masked men in black disappeared into the night.
A group of Praetorian Guards immediately chased after them.
After half a cup of tea, the second wave of masked black-clad men came to the dungeon again, and were about to enter.
Suddenly, there was a sound of a murmur in the dark sky, and arrows stabbed at them.
The second wave of masked black-clad men were unexpected, killed by arrows, and fell in response.
The remaining masked men in black fled in terror, and the Praetorian Guards gave chase.
The night is deeper.
The vast land is silent.
A third wave of masked men in black arrives at the door of the dungeon.
The masked black-clothed man led by him stepped on the corpse of his companion who fell to the ground and died, and he sneered disdainfully: "Miss Shen, Miss Shen, you can predict the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, but you never expected that the lord would have a way to throw two stones and ask for directions."
"In the end, the lord is better."
With that, he led his men towards the dungeon.
The dungeon smells of blood, mixed with the smell of rust.
The masked black-clothed man led by him looked around the dungeon and finally found the figures of General Xiahou and the three of them.
The trio's prison clothes were covered with dried or fresh blood, and there was not a single intact flesh on their bodies.
Really. When the lord heard this rumor, he hesitated again and again, and finally relented and sent them to kill him.
They must have confessed to the lord and betrayed the lord, and there is only one end, death.
His eyes were cold, and he picked up his knife to split the iron door.
General Xiahou and the three looked confused, and faintly saw that someone had come to save them.
They were angry: "Save me, save me......"
A strange smile appeared on the corner of the masked black-clothed man's mouth, and his tone was gloomy: "General Xiahou, several of you have betrayed the lord, and you still want the lord to send someone to save you, it's just a fool's dream."
"Today is the time of your death."
"General Xiahou" brushed away the hair that was hiding his face and smiled at them: "Master, I have been waiting for you here for a long time!" ”
The masked black-clothed man at the head looked in disbelief, and his face was gloomy like water.
They got it.
In this game, the lord was defeated in the hands of Miss Shen!
