Zhang Yuan's head was cut off, and blood gushed out like a fountain. Xiao Huai was closest to him, and blood spattered his face.

But Xiao Huai didn't care, he glanced at Zhang Yuan's head, which was rolling a few meters away, and said: "Hang his body and head at the gate of the city tomorrow, and say to the outside world that there is a small party to assassinate his own father, and his own father will hang the assassin at the head of the city to show deterrence."

"Yes." Yu Yongzhi and Xiang Rong hurriedly said. They knew that their coach was really angry this time

At this time, I heard Xiao Huai say again: "Follow me out of the city." ”

As he spoke, he walked out, and Xiang Rong and Yu Yongzhi hurriedly followed. Xiang Rong also handed him a handkerchief, Xiao Huai took it and wiped the blood on his face and said, "Let someone tell Madame that I have something to do and go out of the city, let her rest in peace." ”

"Yes."

Yu Yongzhi hurriedly ordered a soldier to go to the backyard to report to Tang Shuyi, and he trotted to keep up with Xiao Huai. When they arrived at the gate of the house, the three of them mounted their horses and galloped towards the city gate.

When they arrived at the city gate, the guards guarding the gate wanted to step forward to stop them, but before they could start moving, they heard a voice: "Dingguo Gong chases the assassin, open the city gate quickly." ”

The city gate guard fixed his eyes and saw that it was indeed Dingguo Gong, and hurriedly opened the city gate, watching the three horses roar past, and then closed the city gate again.

……

After Tang Shuyi left, he went to the clean room to wash briefly. After coming back, he saw that Xiao Huai had not come back yet, so he was a little worried. At this time, Cuizhu came over to report: "There are soldiers in the front yard who have come to say, Grandpa Guo is out of the city, let you rest in peace." ”

"What about the Assassins?" Tang Shuyi asked.

Cuizhu: "The assassin has been taken down by Grandpa Guo. ”

Tang Shuyi breathed a sigh of relief, and then went to bed again, but couldn't sleep. She simply didn't sleep anymore, leaned against the head of the bed and read by the light, until it was almost dawn before she felt a little sleepy.

She lay down again, this time falling asleep a few moments later. But in a daze, she felt that someone was holding her in her arms. When I opened my eyes, I saw Xiao Huai's enlarged face.

"Coming back?" She asked.

Xiao Huai buried her face in her neck socket, "Sleep a little longer." ”

Tang Shuyi was really sleepy, found a comfortable position in his arms, closed his eyes and fell asleep again. Xiao Huai stroked the corner of her forehead, lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, and closed his eyes.

Chinese New Year's Eve is the most important holiday of the year. It was early in the morning that everyone in the capital opened their doors early, set off firecrackers, and pasted Spring Festival couplets.

The city gate was even more lively, and many people who entered and exited the city gate were shocked at first when they saw the corpses and heads hanging next to the city gate, and then gathered together and began to discuss.

Those who knew how to read and write went to the city gate to read the notice above, and after they read it out to the people, they understood that last night there was a small party sent someone to assassinate Dingguo Gong, this person was the assassin of Dingguo Gong, and was taken down by Dingguo Gong, and today it is hung at the city gate to show deterrence.

When the people heard the contents of the notice, many pointed to the corpse and cursed. Scold this assassin and the people behind the assassin. In the hearts of the people, Xiao Huai is a hero who no one can shake.

Tang Shuyi and Xiao Huai got up a little late today. When the two woke up, it was already daylight. Today's Chinese New Year's Eve, there are still many things to do, and the two hurriedly got up.

"What were you doing out of town last night?" Tang Shuyi asked Xiao Huai while getting dressed.

Xiao Huai said casually: "Led people to smash Li Chengyi's courtyard outside the city."

Tang Shuyi: "......." Is this going to war?

Xiao Huai turned his head to see her in shock, smiled and said, "He doesn't want to have a good New Year, I still want to." When I smashed his courtyard, I also covered my face, Li Chengyi would definitely think that it was me, but he couldn't grasp the evidence. ”

Tang Shuyi breathed a sigh of relief, she was either afraid, or felt that things were too sudden. Getting off the bed, she asked again: "Is it the courtyard that the emperor built in Ziyun Mountain a few years ago?"

Xiao Huai nodded, Tang Shuyi looked at him and said, "He is estimated to be angry to death." ”

It is said that the emperor took a lot of effort to build it, and he liked it very much, and he would go there every summer to escape the heat.

Xiao Huai snorted coldly, "He asked for it." ”

Tang Shuyi took a set of clothes from the cabinet and gave it to him, helped him put it on his mouth and said, "I don't know if he will do something else in a fit of anger, we have to be careful." ”

"You don't have to worry," Xiao Huai looked down at her to tie her belt, and said, "I've already arranged it, if he still has a move, it's a big deal to do it in advance." I don't think he will, though. Li Chengyi, he doesn't have that courage. ”

Tang Shuyi knew that he was a safe person, and he didn't worry too much, so he helped him comb his hair, and watched him go to the clean room before letting people come in and serve her to dress and freshen up.

Palace

The emperor didn't sleep all night last night, and if Zhang Yuan didn't come back last night, he knew that there was a lot of luck. In fact, he already regretted it a little, it didn't take long for Xiao Huaigang's class to return to the dynasty, he shouldn't have been in such a hurry to make a move.

But the thing has been done, and it is useless for him to regret it now.

He hadn't slept all night, and he felt very confused. But today is Chinese New Year's Eve, there is still a lot to do, and he must get up. If you think about it carefully, he has hardly had a day off since he became this emperor.

The first emperor was dissatisfied with him and wanted to make King Xiaoyao the emperor. He had a breath in his heart, he wanted the former emperor to know that he could do a good job of this emperor.

With a long exhale, he sat up and shouted outside, "Someone." ”

The door was pushed open, Jiao Kangsheng walked in quickly, and saluted: "Your Majesty." ”

The Emperor snorted, "Let's change your clothes." ”

"Yes." Jiao Kangsheng carefully dressed him, and the expression on his face was very solemn. The two have been masters and servants for many years, and the emperor still knows him very well, so he asked, "What happened?" ”

Jiao Kangsheng looked at him and stopped talking, and the emperor suddenly felt a headache when he saw this, and he said, "Say!" ”

Jiao Kangsheng hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Duke Dingguo cut off Zhang Yuan's head, and hung his body and head at the city gate, saying... Say..."

"Say what?" The Emperor asked angrily.

Jiao Kangsheng stubbornly said: "Say... It is said that a small man sent someone to assassinate him, and he hung the assassin at the gate of the city as a sign... to demonstrate deterrence. ”

The emperor only felt a surge of qi and blood rushing to his head, making his whole head hurt, he didn't stand still and sat on the bed, but his mouth still kept saying: "Xiao Huai should die, Xiao Huai should die..."

Jiao Kangsheng knelt in front of him, looking like he still had something to say. The emperor suppressed the pain in his head and exhaled a long breath, "If there is anything else, tell me." ”

"Last night... Someone smashed the Ziyun Mountain Courtyard. ”

"Xiao Huai!"

The Emperor let out a loud shout, and then collapsed on the bed. Seeing this, Jiao Kangsheng hurriedly shouted to the outside world: "Imperial Doctor, please Imperial Doctor!" ”
