Chapter 149: Confusing
Chen Nahai stunned Jin Luoyi with one palm, then took out a bag of pig blood from his arms and sprinkled it on the ground. His move was to sow suspicion and make people think that Jin Luoyi was dead.
In order to avoid people's eyes, he ordered Jin Luoyi's acupoint, found a large box, and put her in the box. After that, he took the waterway and then turned to the land route, and returned to Chukyo Prefecture.
Although Chen Hu was stubborn, her deep affection for Jin Luoyi saved her life. Originally, she wanted to kill Chen Hu and then end it herself.
But when she thought of her father, she couldn't make up her mind. What's more, Chen Hu was very affectionate to her, which made her already weak hesitate.
It's a pity that Jin Luoyi didn't know that Yu Zhong not only followed Zhongjing, but also saw some things that he shouldn't have seen in Taishi's Mansion.
Inevitably having a lot of dreams at night, Chen Hu wanted to marry Jin Luoyi as soon as possible, which was also what Chen Jing and Chen Nahai meant. Since you can't kill her, you can only make her your own.
Even if Jin Luoyi is reluctant in her heart, but under the roof, where can she be in charge. The reunion with Yu once ignited her hope for life, but Chen Nahai's appearance shattered her hope with his own hands.
She knew that with Chen Jing's power, even Yu Chong would not be able to reverse the current situation. Life is like a play, but the script is not necessarily set by yourself.
Looking at Chen Hu beside him, Jin Luoyi's feelings were very complicated. It was this man who ruined her innocence, but this man treated her affectionately like a jewel, and even disobeyed her father's orders to save her.
Even if he once hated Chen Hu, now he doesn't seem to hate it at all. She only hated herself for being a weak woman, in this powerful world, she could only go with the flow like a duckweed.
"Luo Yi, you should know my heart for you. Why can't you accept me? I know it's my fault to destroy your innocence. But since then, I haven't even touched your little finger. Even if he slept in the same bed, it was just to show his father. Can't you forgive me yet. Chen Hu said.
Jin Luoyi still lay with his back to him, silent.
"Our marriage was set by my father, and if not, I'm afraid I won't be able to save your life. I'll wait until the day when you accept me sincerely. Chen Hu said.
In a few days, it will be the wedding day of the two, whether it is a resolute rebellion against fate, or a numb resignation, there is not much time left for Jin Luoyi to consider.
Because of the matter of drinking flower wine, Guiming was confined for several days in a row, and he thought about it behind closed doors at home. Suddenly, someone came to spread the word, saying that it was the second prince Ji Lie who passed him into the palace to see him.
"Why did these two princes suddenly look for me, I don't have much to do with him on weekdays. Gui Ming said strangely.
"I heard that he has always been at odds with the crown prince, and has always coveted the position of the East Palace, this sudden search for you, I'm afraid it will be unprofitable, you have to be cautious. Yu Zhong said.
"Well, don't worry, Boss Yu, I've never been interested in palace politics, if he wants to win me over or something, I'll be perfunctory. "Guiming replied.
"The crown prince has been absent from Zhongjing recently, and the second prince has a lot of small actions, so you can take this opportunity to see what he wants. Yu Zhong said again.
"How do I hear this, Boss Yu, you are like a *** person, haha. Gui Ming quipped.
"Prince Ji Bing has a good character, a good temperament, and a virtuous subdued world. I'm just telling the truth, so be careful. Yu Zhong admonished.
Guiming entered the palace all the way and came to the palace of the second prince. He was taken directly to the study, and Ji Lie was the only one in it, and when he saw Guiming coming, he immediately retreated.
"Is it a surprise to be a deputy commander, why did I suddenly invite you? Ji Lie smiled but didn't look very sincere.
"The second highness is the king, and the junior general is the minister. If there is something to do with His Royal Highness, Weichen will naturally be there with the rumors. "Guiming replied.
"I'm looking for you today, not for anything else, let's talk about the two of us. Ji Lie said.
Wechen was not very afraid. Guiming said this in his mouth, but in fact, what he was thinking in his heart was that everyone was not familiar with each other, so what to talk about.
"In the big competition of the four guards of the forbidden army, I admired you quite a lot, and you lived up to expectations and won the first place. You can become the deputy commander of the Dragon Guard at a young age, which can be said to be unprecedented. In this palace, as long as you vote for the master, the future will definitely be promising. ”
Hearing Ji Lie's words, Guiming already understood in his heart that the two princes were really trying to win him over today. However, with the respect of his prince, he actually did it in person, but he had some sincerity.
"The minister is a minister of the Southern Han Dynasty, and he will naturally be loyal to His Royal Highness. Gui Ming ambiguously sloppied.
"Haha, the deputy commander still doesn't trust me, it's okay, I came to you today because I have something to explain to you. Ji Lie smiled.
"Your Highness, please do not hesitate to command. "Guiming replied.
"Recently, I heard that many people from the rivers and lakes have gathered in the capital, and I don't know if the deputy commander has heard of it. Ji Lie said.
Gui Ming's heart moved, and he replied: "Don't hide it from Your Highness, the minister has indeed heard of it." ”
"In the Gyeonggi region, there are so many people from the rivers and lakes, and it is necessary to guard against it. It's a pity that the affairs of the people in the rivers and lakes, Zhongjing Mansion Yin has a lot of scruples about doing things. Although I intend to investigate this matter, I am so bitter that someone as wise and courageous as the Deputy Commander can help. Ji Lie said with something in his words.
Listening to what Ji Lie meant, he intended to let Guiming deal with this matter, and it just so happened that he was also investigating this matter, so why not simply go to the palace in the name of the second prince. Thinking of this, Gui Ming said: "Your Highness cares about the community, and the ministers are willing to share your worries for Your Highness." ”
"That's really good, with the deputy commander taking action, this matter will definitely be investigated. ”
After Ji Lie finished speaking, he took out a gold medal and handed it to Guiming. This gold medal is exclusive to the prince, and in the Southern Han Dynasty, all officials must prohibit it when they see the gold medal. With this gold medal, it will be easier for Guiming to investigate the case.
Coming out of the palace, Gui Ming couldn't help but secretly wonder what was hidden behind these people in the rivers and lakes, which made the dignified second prince even full of interest.
He threw the gold medal into the air and fell back into his hand.
"Whatever, since you have the gold medal order arrow now, check it out first. When Gui Ming thought about it, he felt a lot better.
But before that, the thing he valued most was the appointment with Ran Xu'er for the fireworks festival.
In addition to the Spring Festival, the annual fireworks festival in Zhongjing City can be said to be the most lively time. Regardless of the variety of fireworks in the people, just a few major fireworks workshops will take out their best fireworks to compete, which is enough gimmick.
On this day, all the people crowd the streets to watch the fireworks display in the largest square in Chukyo. Every year at the fireworks festival, the royal family will come to have fun with the people, and if you are lucky enough, you may even see the emperor.
"Big brother, you wait for us. Sisi shouted.
Gui Ming and Ran Su'er walked all the way in front of them, chatting all the way, completely forgetting the existence of Yu Zhong and Sisi.
"Seeing the lust, hey, your eldest brother is such a person, I think it's better for the two of us to play our own. Yu Zhong said.
Gui Sisi's cheeks turned red, and he said, "This is what Brother Yu said, don't leave me behind." ”
"I'm going to lose you, your eldest brother won't fight with me. After speaking, Yu Chongyi grabbed Sisi's hand. He didn't notice that Sisi's face was now as red as a ripe apple.
At this time, Gui Ming and Ran Su'er also walked far away unconsciously.
"Ming Gongzi, is it okay to leave Ling Mei and Yu Gongzi alone. Ran Su'er said delicately.
Seeing the beauty like this, Guiming's heart was drunk, and he wished to live a two-person world with Ran Xu'er.
"Hey, don't you know that my little sister has admired Brother Yu for a long time, didn't I just create a chance for them to be alone. Gui Mingle said happily.
"In that case, Miss Sisi has to thank you. Ran Xu'er smiled.
While talking, the two walked to the square of the fireworks competition, which was already crowded with people, one after another. Everyone is waiting for the game to start.
At this time, the craftsmen of several major fireworks workshops were already in the field preparing to release the fireworks, but they seemed to be waiting for something.
Gui Ming found that there were many familiar figures in the crowd at this time, if he was not mistaken, they were all Long Xiangwei's people. How did they end up here?
"Miss Su'er, you wait here for a while, I met a few acquaintances, go and say hello. After Gui Ming finished speaking, he walked a few quick steps, walked behind a person, and patted him on the shoulder.
When the man turned around, he was also taken aback.
"Guiming, why are you here. The person who turned around turned out to be Gao Hun of Long Xiangwei.
"Haha, I thought I was wrong, it's really Captain Gaodu. Gui Ming said with a smile.
"Go, go, don't make trouble. Gao Hun said unceremoniously, he didn't fight when he saw Gui Mingqi.
"Hey, how can you talk to Shangxian, don't forget me, my current rank is higher than yours. Gui Ming was able to straighten his chest.
What he said was right, Gao Hun had no choice but to clasp his fists and salute helplessly: "I've seen the deputy commander." ”
"Haha, you haven't answered me yet, why are you here today? I look at a lot of your plainclothes around, it can't be some royal family who came out of the palace to watch the fireworks. Gui Ming asked.
Gao Hun was so frightened that he hurriedly shushed and said: "Be quiet, the emperor is going to come here tonight in person and pay a private visit to Weifu, so we arrived here first and served as a guard." ”
"What, the emperor is coming?" Gui Ming almost shouted in surprise.
However, since there is Long Xiangwei guarding here, he has not clarified anything, anyway, he has no good relationship with these people of Long Xiangwei.
"Ming Gongzi, is there something wrong?" asked Ran Xu'er.
"It's all right, friends, we'll see our own. "Guiming replied.
At this time, Ran Xu'er's expression seemed to be a little unnatural.
