Chapter 113: Intrigues
I heard that General Xue's body has been transported back, and there is an endless stream of people coming to mourn in the prime minister's mansion, and those who can enter the mansion are some princes and nobles, gentry and wealthy families.
Outside the mansion, countless beggars came to hear the news, all wanting to win a little charity from this gentleman with a lot of money, but none of them were not kicked to the ground by the guards.
The poor and the rich have been incompatible since ancient times.
The depressing mourning hall was solemnly arranged, and Xue Pingzhi's slightly stinky corpse had been changed into shrouds by the maids and put into a coffin inlaid with gold silk sandalwood. In order to get rid of the smell of the rotting corpse, there were unusually many incense burns in front of the hall, and the green smoke was bursting and swirling in the air.
Xue Mu's old spicy eyes kept looking at Mu Yici's face. Mu Yici sat dignified and elegant on the soft silk round stool, with a smile and a smile that was rare in everyone's ladies, not to mention her beautiful face like ginkgo, with this natural noble aura on her body, it was incomparable to the other five young ladies. Xue Mu has read countless people over the years, and at this moment she can't see through the amazing woman in front of her, her whole body is like being wrapped in a layer of incomparably attractive light, which makes people unprovoked joy and addiction.
This kind of appearance, if it weren't for Mother Xue knowing that she had an ordinary background and was somewhat a bit of a mustard, I am afraid that she would have accepted it in her heart - she was really a beautiful woman.
After observing for a long time, Xue Mu found that this woman was generous, graceful, demure and dignified, with this Qiongzi flower appearance, charming and pretty face, it was really likable.
"You will tell the story of Pingzhi's killing one by one, and you must not hide anything from it. ”
Xue Mu finally opened her mouth expressionlessly, breaking the rather silent situation.
Mu Yici's face was sad, as if he was holding back tears, and mourned: "This matter has to start with Huang Yanchao Huang Gongshi, who was denied the status of the champion of the current department. He was dissatisfied with his identity and was bribed by Ping Zhi to the chief examiner of Hanlin and angry with Yi Ci, and openly intercepted our family affairs, and in a fit of rage, he ordered the second elder of Guiyun to go and kill Huang Gongshi. I originally thought that everything was going well, and I didn't want the two friends made by Huang Gongshi to come to seek revenge, but those two people were very strong, not only killed all the people of my Mu family, but also slaughtered all the 100,000 townside generals in Pingzhi...... Not one out of ten. They are the devil, and they kill without blinking......"
Mu Yici said as he spoke, with a look of fear on his face, and he couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Xue Mu stared at the expression on Mu Yici's face motionlessly, and couldn't help but be angry, and said sharply: "Just two people, how can you slaughter a hundred thousand troops, Mu Yici, you still don't recruit from the truth." ”
"Old lady, what the sixth young lady said is right! Look at my arm, it was cut off by those two. Brother Ziyun, in order to save the old man, also died under their swords. ”
Wei Bugui raised the empty sleeve of his left hand, and his face was also full of hatred.
"Two people, just leave a piece of armor for the 100,000 army?"
Mother Xue was stunned, and the five ladies beside her also felt incredible. How could two people fight against Xue Pingzhi's 100,000 elite soldiers?
"Exactly. Old lady, the two of them are still young, but their strength is not bad. The old man suspected that their identities were by no means ordinary, and they should be disciples of the Hidden World Sect. ”
Wei Bugui only felt a sullen breath in his chest, unable to vent it.
Li Wangchen and Luo Yu had already left an indelible shadow and fear in his heart.
But Wei Ziyun's revenge, he had to revenge, even if he offended those powerful sects, he did not hesitate to do so.
Xue Mu was taken aback by Wei Bugui's words, and stood up angrily: "What...... Isn't it impossible to avenge my son's revenge?"
Of course, she knew that there were many hidden sects in the world, and it was definitely not something that her Xue family could afford to provoke.
Seeing this, Wei Bugui stood up and saluted: "Don't be afraid, old lady, those sects have already disregarded ordinary things and concentrated on cultivating immortals, but I am afraid that they will not be able to take care of the two of them." ”
"What do you mean by that?" asked Xue Mu.
The old man believes that this revenge will be avenged. There are a few high-ranking people around the Prime Minister, and no matter how tall they are, they are probably not their opponents...... Assassinate secretly, and then blame others, you are not afraid of being targeted by those sects. ”
Wei Bugui gestured with his hand, exuding a cold aura all over his body.
"Blame others, blame whom?" Xue Mu glanced at Wei Bugui in surprise, and always felt that Wei Bugui today was a little different from the past, and he became a lot wiser.
Wei Bugui said mysteriously: "Who the old lady wants to blame depends on what strength this person has, looking at the entire Chen Kingdom, there is only one person!"
Xue Mu's eyes shrank suddenly, how she didn't know the meaning of Wei Bugui's words.
Mu Yici on the side was calm and calm, not affected by it at all. What Wei Bugui said, how could she not know, I'm afraid that Xue Mu would never guess that this strategy was something she came up with, and all of this was part of her plan.
Xue Mu thought about it solemnly, hesitated slightly, and said loudly: "Dao Chief, please talk inside." ”
Wei Bugui replied and followed Xue Mu to the inner room.
For a moment, in the palatial hall, only six women sat together, and the air suddenly became depressed.
The other five all glanced at each other, their minds were in the same place, and at the same time they turned their heads to look at Mu Yici.
Zheng Feiyan raised her hand and fanned the wind, her face was full of disgust, and she said sourly: "What a big smell of foxes has floated to me." ”
"Oh, eldest sister, I also smelled it, and I don't know where the little beast came from, killed her husband, and has the face to come to our Xue family to be embarrassed, it's really shameless. ”
The second sister erected an orchid finger, grabbed the red handkerchief, and gently covered her nose, disgusted tightly.
The third sister, the fourth sister, and the fifth sister also raised their heads high, disdainful of Mu Yici, who was sitting on the side.
Mu Yici didn't seem to notice the smell of gunpowder in the air, stood up alone and gently lifted the jade pot, poured himself a cup of tea, and raised his slender hand to the cherry lips.
The lip gap is opened, and the teeth inside are like scallops, smooth and jade.
Zheng Feiyan saw the opportunity, snatched the jade cup from Mu Yici's hand, and exclaimed: "Sixth sister, you have just come to Xue Mansion, and your body has not been washed, don't stain this jade cup." ”
A trace of anger rose in Mu Yici's heart, but he was invisible, and said with an indifferent smile: "Eldest sister, at the funeral of Pingzhi, the rouge gouache on your face is only afraid that it will be stained with the spirit coffin, why don't you take it off, or are you afraid that your own person is old and yellow, and you don't have the face to see Yici?"
"Bold!"
Zheng Feiyan was pointed at the sore spot, she was angry, her eyebrows were angry, she looked at Mu Yici, who was calm and calm, and said bitterly: "Don't forget your humble identity, it is already a great blessing for your mother to let you stay in the Xue family for three years, and in front of this daughter, you can't be presumptuous." ”
The third sister also looked at Mu Yici condescendingly, and said teasingly: "Yes, sixth sister, although you have entered the Xue Mansion, what is the difference between your identity and the subordinate standing outside the door." If you are Xiaoli, why don't you quickly kneel down and ask for forgiveness from your eldest sister?"
Several other people also nodded again and again, arrogant, and stared at Mu Yici with mocking expressions.
This cheap woman from afar, how can she get her wish if she doesn't treat her well.
Faced with the difficulties of the five sisters, Mu Yici poured himself another cup of tea unhurriedly, without glancing at a few people from beginning to end, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, he took off the tea, wiped his mouth and said: "It turns out that the five waves of killers along the way were sent by you." My good eldest sister, second sister, third sister, fourth sister and fifth sister, the way you welcome Yi Ci this time is too unique!"
"What?
Zheng Feiyan's pupils shrunk, and she turned her head to look at the other four younger sisters with a hateful face.
She originally thought that only she would send someone to assassinate Mu Yici, but she didn't expect that the four of them would also send someone to assassinate Mu Yici.
But because they didn't guess the existence of Wei Bugui, their assassinations were all in vain.
"Unexpectedly, several sisters are also intriguing, you unanimously target Yi Ci this time, Yi Ci is not very honored. But with the help of the Elder of the Path of No Return, your people are all too dead to die anymore. By the way, eldest sister, you definitely didn't expect that the four sisters would also make a move on Yi Ci. I guess they want you to die, too, so that they can take your place in the main room. Yi Ci is not dangerous, it is you who are dangerous. ”
Mu Yici smiled faintly, like an incomparably delicate thorny red rose in full bloom.
The words made the faces of the four people except Zheng Feiyan panic, and they immediately denied it: "Nonsense, you are provoking the relationship between our sisters!"
Mu Yici still has a breezy appearance, on the way to Liang Jing early, she has guessed everything, these five people want to jointly suppress her, what is she afraid of.
eyes, glanced at Zheng Feiyan gently, and said slowly: "I think right and wrong, the eldest sister can tell clearly." ”
Zheng Feiyan's face was gloomy, Mu Yici was pregnant with Xue Pingzhi's only child, which was what she was most worried about, and as for the other four, she didn't take it to heart. So I didn't guess that they would send someone to assassinate Mu Yici, it seems that none of their sisters are honest.
But she didn't show the unhappiness in her heart, she looked at Mu Yici with a smile, and said in a straight voice: "I don't know, a few sisters, I must not like you to kill your husband, so I made a move on you this time." Don't say that the four sisters don't like you, even if it's me, I can't wait to kill you. Our sisterhood is as deep as the sea and as solid as a rock, and you can't provoke our relationship. But you, in the Xue Mansion in the future, it is best to obey the words of the few of us, otherwise, I promise, you will not stay long in the Xue Mansion. ”
Zheng Feiyan can be Xue Pingzhi's main room, not only has a noble status, but she is also very smart, she knows that Mu Yici is the most dangerous person, and now is not the time to tear her face with the other four.
Sure enough, as soon as Zheng Feiyan finished speaking, the four of them breathed a sigh of relief, they were silent on the surface, but they all understood in their hearts that I am afraid that every step they take in the future will have to be cautious.
The struggle between women is not as simple as it seems on the surface.
Mu Yici obviously guessed that Zheng Feiyan would say this, so he gently put down the jade cup and said with a smile: "Sisters have deep feelings, but Yi Ci is superficial. ”
"Hehe, Mu Yici, since you provoked the relationship between our sisters, you should be punished. Come on, hold Mu Yici down, and hit ten boards with a cane on the spot. ”
Since Zheng Feiyan has caught the evidence that Mu Yici deliberately instigated their sisterhood, she naturally wants to teach this lowly woman who doesn't know the height of the sky and the earth a good lesson.
As if he had been prepared, four family members approached outside the door, two of whom were armed with killing sticks. The other two couldn't help but pick up Mu Yici and press it to the ground.
They actually wanted to teach Mu Yici a lesson in court.
Mu Yici was very cooperative, obediently prostrate on the ground, there was no panic on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Eldest sister, I have a child in my arms, if you beat me with a rod, what happens, I'm afraid you can't afford to bear this responsibility." ”
Zheng Feiyan's face froze, Mu Yici was right, if she had fetal gas, then how could she, the main room, explain to Mother Xue?
Seeing that Zheng Feiyan hesitated, the second sister stood up and instigated: "Don't be afraid, eldest sister, let the subordinates fight a little lower, at most, she won't be able to get out of bed, and she won't hurt the child." ”
"Then you can demonstrate!"
Zheng Feiyan snatched the killing stick in the hand of the family and handed it to the second sister. How could she not know the intentions of the second sister, if Mu Yici really moved the child in her womb, it would be her who was unlucky after all.
"Then how can I do it, my sister will listen to the eldest sister's arrangement. ”
The second sister's face changed, and she hurriedly stepped back.
I'm afraid that the cane will not work, Zheng Feiyan looked down at Mu Yici, a trace of unwillingness appeared on her face, she thought twice, waved her hand to let these family members go down, and then instructed the maid: "Take her to the firewood room and chop all the firewood, don't give her food if she can't finish chopping." ”
Mu Yici lay on the ground, his eyes were fierce, he grabbed his hair with his hand, forced a trace of sweat to overflow his forehead, rolled on the ground with his stomach, and wailed loudly.
The two maids were stupid, and Zheng Feiyan and the others were also stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but feel strange.
Zheng Feiyan immediately understood that Mu Yici was pretending, so she grabbed her clothes, dragged her whole person up, and said viciously: "What are you pretending to me!"
At this time, Xue Mu and Wei Bugui, who were in the back room, were talking happily, and suddenly heard a painful howl from the hall. Xue Mu's face changed, she thought of something, and she couldn't care about Wei Bugui, so she hurried out, and saw Zheng Feiyan holding Mu Yici with both hands. The other four women also stood aside with a strong appearance.
"Stop!"
Mother Xue was furious. Unexpectedly, just after she left for a while, Mu Yici was bullied by several people, and it was nothing to bully Mu Yici, but she was still pregnant with her unborn grandson, which made her feel distressed.
This is the last lone seedling of their Xue family, and there is no room for mistakes.
When Zheng Feiyan heard Xue Mu's voice, she was so frightened that her hands loosened, and Mu Yici fell to the ground, her hair was messy, her face was pale, she was panting in her mouth, and she couldn't get up for a long time.
"Zheng Feiyan, as soon as the old body left, you couldn't hold back your shot. If something happens to my grandson, I'll ask you!"
Mother Xue was so angry that her eyes were red, and she was so anxious that she helped Mu Yici and let her sit on the stool to rest.
"What's wrong?"
Wei Bugui followed him out of the back room.
Mother Xue was anxious, looking at Mu Yici's pale face and weak appearance, and hurriedly said: "Don't return to the Daoist, you quickly show Yi Ci if the child is okay!"
Wei Bugui pulled Mu Yici's hand to call the pulse, his face immediately gloomy, and asked Zheng Feiyan and the others who were at a loss: "A few young ladies, the sixth young lady has a fetal gas, what have you done to her." ”
Zheng Feiyan and the others were silent, standing in front of the hall with anxiety, staring at Mu Yici who was acting on the scene in a panic, only to feel a shudder behind them.
A wave of Haoran's true qi passed from Wei Bugui's palm into Mu Yici's body to recuperate, and slowly, Mu Yici's face recovered some blood, and he opened his mouth and whispered: "I'm fine, it's none of my sisters' business, it's Yi Ci who accidentally fell." ”
"Old lady, fortunately, it came in time, and you will have to take good care of the sixth young lady in the future. If the fetal gas is activated again, it will be difficult to save the child in the womb!"
Wei Bugui withdrew his hand and said to Xue Mu in a serious voice.
Xue Mu was frightened into a cold sweat by the scene just now, and when she heard Wei Bugui's words, she let out a long breath and gently held Mu Yici's hands. raised his head and glanced coldly at Zheng Feiyan and the five of them, a touch of displeasure appeared on his angry face, and he said coldly: "Remember, if the five of you have any intentions against Yi Ci in the future, don't blame the old man for turning his face and not recognizing people." ”
"Yes, Mother!"
Zheng Feiyan and the others were so frightened that they were at a loss, and nodded like pounding garlic.
They finally understood that Mu Yici's humble background was not just because of her appearance.
This is an incomparably scheming woman, I'm afraid she has been planning for a long time.
