Chapter 105: The Assassin Returns
Two jars of fine wine and four or five dishes of good dishes, Yu Yanke and Xue Dingping chose a position with a wide field of vision and sat down.
The storyteller in the center of the lobby was shaking his head and talking in a low voice, and the audience was constantly cheering and shouting, and the scene was very harmonious.
Xue Dingping listened to the storytelling, his brows gradually furrowed, and after a long time, he asked Yu Yanke: "Brother Yu, has this storyteller arranged the affairs of the adults in Kyoto with the permission of others?"
When Yu Yanke heard this, he was just stunned, and then said with a smile: "Don't people in the market like to listen to the private affairs of those people standing above the clouds? ”
"That being said, it's not a good idea to choreograph haphazardly in order to attract visitors. Xue Dingping's brows were still furrowed.
Yu Yanke smiled and said: "Brother Xue is too worried, where do those adults who are in charge of everything have the air to take care of these small things, whether he arranges them or not, there is no substantial harm to himself, besides, that storyteller is not the kind of guy who doesn't know how to measure, it's okay, don't worry." ”
"I heard that this storytelling was borrowed from Gou Chen, this phenomenon is really not suitable for spreading, you know, that Gou Chen Yiguo is because he is greedy for pleasure and plays too many tricks, so he is getting weaker and weaker........" Xue Dingping's tone became more and more serious, and he even wanted to stop the storyteller immediately.
Yu Yanke didn't expect this guy to have such a stereotypical side, and he was speechless for a while.
Fortunately, Xue Dingping is not that impulsive person, so he just talks with his mouth, but his body does not move.
"Good!"
The four listeners suddenly cheered in unison, Yu Yanke kept talking to Xue Dingping but didn't pay much attention to what the storyteller said, and now he heard the audience applaud, so he listened carefully.
As for Xue Dingping, he also sounded serious with a suspicious face.
"Smack!"
The storyteller slapped the startled wood hard, and the listeners, who were whispering and discussing fiercely, suddenly stopped their voices and focused their eyes on the storyteller.
"It is said that after Zhao Shangshu was angry and sent the wicked woman to the official mansion, it was very happy, and the people of the entire Shangshu Mansion secretly carnivaled for a long time........"
"Brother Yu, Zhao Shangshu is an important minister, how can he allow such an arrangement? It's just a matter of nothing, in order to cater to the tastes of these listeners, what kind of arrangement is this? Mrs. Shangshu is a famous virtuous woman, how can she become a wicked woman in the mouth of this storyteller?"
Not long after hearing this, Xue Dingping's expression was full of anger, and Yu Yanke was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "This is also choreographed?"
He had heard about Gou Chen's side before, and he always thought that this Yunlang Kyoto's storytelling should be almost the same as Gou Chen's side, but he didn't expect the deviation to be so big.
And Xue Dingping continued: "Mrs. Shangshu is everyone's best girl, she will never do such a vicious thing that harms people, let alone any slander that Zhao Shangshu likes to pick wild flowers, Zhao Shangshu and Mrs. Zhao are quite a model of affection, how dare this person talk nonsense?"
"I don't know about the rest, so I won't express my opinions, but about Zhao Shangshu, he doesn't know as much as I do!"
"Hmm..........." Yu Yanke thought for a while and asked curiously: "Before that, he said that you were a Tiansha Lone Star........
It's just that Yu Yanke stopped asking the question, he couldn't help but want to give himself a big mouth, he knew that his question like this was really a bit disgusting, and besides, didn't this add fuel to the fire?
He couldn't help but review his mouth in his heart.
It's just that if you say it and splash the water, it's too late for Yu Yanke to regret it.
Sure enough, when Xue Dingping heard this, his face became extremely bad.
He was silent for a long time before he said, "If I have to say that I am a Heavenly Evil Lone Star, then I have nothing to say. ”
Yu Yanke saw that his expression was wrong, so he asked tentatively, "Brother Xue, are you okay?"
Xue Dingping ignored him, and poured it up violently with the wine jar. Yu Yanke's unintentional words seemed to arouse his sadness. So much so that he didn't bother to care about the storyteller's random arrangement of the adults.
"Brother Xue, slow down, it's not good for your body to pour yourself like this. Yu Yanke reluctantly persuaded. But Xue Dingping didn't care about it, and drank up a jar after a while.
It's just that he drank heroically, but the amount of alcohol was not very good, and under this altar, the whole person was already red and dizzy.
Seeing that he was about to hold the next altar and pour himself, Yu Yanke immediately stopped his movements.
After thinking about it, he shook his head, and today he said that he would watch the sword dance and listen to the little song, it seems that it will not work.
Then he picked up Xue Dingping, who had turned into a mess of mud with the strength of the wine, and left a few copper plates to leave.
It's just that he was really a little unwilling, so he simply turned around and picked up the wine that had not been drunk much in the jar, and then turned to leave.
When he went out, Tang Xianmei, who was still standing outside, stopped him and asked curiously, "Young Master Yu, are you leaving so soon?"
Yu Yanke's eyes motioned for her to look at Xue Dingping, who was already a little unconscious on his shoulder, and smiled helplessly: "No way, this guy doesn't drink well, he just poured himself a big jar of wine, so he can only leave first." ”
Tang Xianmei smiled dumbly, and then said: "Why don't you take a rest at the slave family's residence, and when this son wakes up, it will be almost time for Ah Yu to play." ”
"Uh-huh........"
Yu Yanke thought about it seriously, he naturally wanted to see the sword dance, but it seemed that it was a little too casual to just stay in other people's girls' boudoirs.
Tang Xianmei doesn't care, he can't care less, you know, Tang Xianmei is not married yet, even if he does, then he is really not suitable for a big man to go to her boudoir.
Thinking of this, Yu Yanke politely rejected Tang Xian, and then he helped Xue Dingping, planning to send him to the General's Mansion and then turn back himself.
Tang Xianmei didn't insist on this, thinking that she also knew that this was not in line with etiquette.
She watched Yu Yanke leave, and her smile was very sweet.
...............
Through the streets and alleys, the General's Mansion is still a little far away.
Xue Dingping had already woken up slightly and was able to walk on his own, but he began to hug Yu Yanke and talk nonsense again, and his constant muttering made Yu Yanke embarrassed and inexplicable.
Ignoring this guy, he just walked.
The streets are full of people, and they are somewhat inconspicuous.
Suddenly, I don't know who roared, "There are masters in Dongfang who are facing each other on the eaves." "Suddenly a large circle of people on the street went to see the excitement.
Yu Yanke was stunned, there is still such a thing in Yunlang Kyoto? Are those two confrontational guys dead?
It stands to reason that this kind of thing is absolutely impossible, you know, this is not another place, this is the territory of Yunlang, it is Yunlang Kyoto.
The entire Yunlang territory was suppressed so that they couldn't raise their heads, let alone this Yunlang Kyoto.
There are quirks.
Yu Yanke thought, suddenly, his brows furrowed slightly.
And Xue Dingping, who had been muttering nonsense to himself, also stabilized his mind and stood up straight.
Martial Dao's instincts told them what might happen.
"Bang Bang Bang ........"
A series of crisp clapping sounds came from the dark alley on the side.
Yu Yanke's body tensed instantly, as long as there was a situation, he could react immediately.
"It is worthy of being a genius born in the empire for a hundred years, even if you are drunk, you can have such a terrifying instinctive reaction. "A man in black came out of the alley.
Wearing a white porcelain mask on his face, the whole person was shrouded in black robes.
"Is that you?" Yu Yanke frowned.
It's not the first time that the person who came has dealt with him, the last time Yu Yanke suffered a small loss when he was in the Land Temple, but this time he won't be in that kind of evil again.
Knowing this person's true combat strength, where would he have half a point of relaxation.
"What a coincidence. That person actually said hello to Yu Yanke, like an old friend who hadn't met for a long time.
Yu Yanke only felt a chill.
He frowned and reprimanded: "Last time you took advantage of my unpreparedness on a rainy night, this time you don't want to get any benefits from me!"
"Hey, that's manly. The man grinned and said, "But it's not you." ”
Before she finished speaking, Yu Yanke's face had changed greatly.
A black shadow struck at such speed that Yu Yanke couldn't even perceive the person's specific location.
At this moment, he finally knew that the assassin was two people! What he had been talking to him was nothing more than a trick, and while he was engrossed in guarding against the person in front of him, he ignored the person behind him.
Just when Yu Yanke knew that he couldn't avoid this attack, he was concentrating and planning to do his best to guard against it, he was stunned to find that he was not attacked at all.
On the contrary, Xue Dingping beside him snorted, and then flew out upside down.
In this way, Xue Dingping also woke up for most of the time, and finally stabilized his body, but he couldn't stop the chaos of the qi in his body, and blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth.
"Brother Xue!"
Yu Yanke was taken aback, and turned around to find the assassin's figure, but he couldn't find it at all. I saw only the man who had been standing there before.
"It's a bureau. Xue Dingping barely stabilized the surging aura in his body before he spoke: "The matter that the general government has not found for so long can now be contacted." ”
Yu Yanke was afraid that he would make a mistake, so he hurriedly came to him and supported him slightly, with a solemn expression.
"As early as a year ago, some people continued to attack the people in the general's mansion, and the methods were fierce, almost all of them were killed with one blow, and now I have been sure of something in this attack. Xue Dingping's expression became indifferent.
He said, "You assassins, you deserve to die. ”
Then, he encouraged Zhou Tian's breath and slowly walked towards the man in black.
"Little Overlord's analytical ability is really terrifying, since that's the case, just bye-bye. As he spoke, the assassin vanished, and his speed was rare in the world.
"I retreated after missing the blow, if I hadn't been on guard before, I'm afraid I would have been captured by these two people. Xue Dingping saw the assassin leave, but he didn't chase after him, because he knew that he would never be able to catch up, so he didn't bother to waste his efforts.
Yu Yanke said with a solemn expression: "I heard what Brother Xue meant, these two people have been active in Kyoto for some days, why can't they be caught?"
"These two assassins' ability to save their lives is stronger than the assassination method, and the comprehensive search of Yungou Yuan that scraped the ground did not find them, let alone the tracking method of the three-legged cat in the General's Mansion. Xue Dingping said helplessly.
"Such an assassin ............" Yu Yanke was also a little heavy when he heard this, the General's Mansion was targeted by such a villain, and life was not very easy.
"But it's okay, my father is already investigating this matter, and for this reason, he has specially returned to Beijing, believing that he will be able to find out those two little assassins who only dare to hide in the shadows in the near future. Xue Dingping remembered something and said confidently.
Yu Yanke nodded.
Then the two of them moved on. Yu Yanke sent him back to the general's mansion and left, although Xue Dingping looked sober, but in fact he was still a little dizzy.
After saying goodbye to him, Yu Yanke planned to go to the previous Land Temple to have a look.
He didn't know if that guy from Xue Dingbei was still there.
But he didn't let him go long, and he met the sneaky Xue Dingbei.
Yu Yanke saw him dangling in front of his house, and immediately felt a little funny, and asked him, "Haven't been home yet?"
Xue Dingbei saw that it was him, and just said with a wry smile: "It's good to take a look at the door of the house, I don't dare to show up now, although the eldest brother knows that I am back, he shouldn't say it." ”
Yu Yanke didn't know what he was all about, so he didn't express his opinions at will.
"Is there anything else to do besides watching it secretly like this?" Yu Yanke asked him.
"I've just come out of the palace, it's boring, is there anything to do? I'll go with you. ”
When Xue Dingbei heard this, he thought about it again and again, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "There's really nothing to do." ”
"Didn't you look for those three old servants before? Did you find them?" Yu Yanke remembered something and asked him.
When Xue Dingbei heard this, his expression darkened, he shook his head, and said, "I didn't find it, they estimated that there was more luck and less luck." ”
When Yu Yanke heard this, he was silent for a moment and said, "I met the assassin of that night again today. ”
"What?" Xue Dingbei's expression changed greatly, his voice became a little sharp, and he asked, "Brother Yu, have you seen it?"
"Yes, and they're trying to do it to your big brother this time. Yu Yanke said softly: "Your eldest brother seems to know something, but he didn't say much, and I don't want to ask much as an outsider, I only know that in order to deal with these two assassins, your father, the general Xue Pu, has come back." ”
"What, my father has returned to Beijing?" Xue Dingbei said in amazement.
"The situation must be very serious this time, otherwise my father would not have left the border alone. Xue Dingbei frowned and said.
"Listen to your eldest brother, many people have been assassinated. Maybe it had something to do with those two assassins. Yu Yanke said.
Xue Dingbei's expression changed for a while, and finally, as if he had made some decision, he walked straight towards the General's Mansion.
Yu Yanke was stunned and asked, "Why are you going?"
Xue Dingbei said in a deep voice: "I'm worried about something, I need to ask my father for clarification." Brother Yu, you should leave first, maybe those assassins are secretly staring at me at this time, and they can't affect you. ”
When Yu Yanke heard this, he laughed angrily at his words, and he said, "What are you worried about? How much can you do? Can you think about these things before you make a decision?"
"I know this, but I can't wait any longer, Brother Yu, you don't know something, that's why you can say that. Xue Dingbei stopped and was silent for a while, obviously he was also seriously thinking about Yu Yanke's words.
It's just that in the end, he decided to stick to his opinion.
With that, he strode away.
Yu Yanke didn't follow, he began to have some doubts, what happened to the general's mansion, how did he feel that Xue Dingbei and Xue Dingping were preoccupied, and also, the general Xue Pu abandoned state affairs for the sake of family affairs, is this really good?
It's not that Yu Yanke kidnapped anyone morally, it's just that he can't figure out what happened in the General's Mansion.
Especially in a place like Yunlang Kyoto, the General's Mansion has been attacked repeatedly, and the murderer is so fine, and he has been at large.
From Yu Yanke's point of view, this is clearly a problem.
However, he was not an outsider and could not say anything, so after thinking about it, he still went back to the palace.
Originally, he came out to breathe, and after breathing, he should go back, and he is now waiting for the autumn hunt.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Returning to the small place in the palace, Yu Yanke took a deep breath, and suddenly felt a kind of depression again.
What he didn't expect was that a palace maid was waiting outside, and when she saw him, she immediately took two steps forward, curts, and said, "Young Master Yu, Mr. Liang wants to see you." ”
When Yu Yanke heard this, he asked calmly, "Which Mr. Liang is it?"
The palace maid replied, "It's the master of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, Mr. Liang Nianpu." ”
It's him?
Yu Yanke was slightly surprised, he didn't know what this person was looking for him, he tried to remember the middle-aged man who looked like a Taoist priest in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but he only remembered his appearance, and he didn't even know what his voice was.
The middle-aged Taoist priest had never said anything, and it felt very unexistent.
But Yu Yanke didn't underestimate him because of this, he could be Yun Xi's master, and he couldn't teach an apprentice like Yun Xi without two brushes.
"Mr. Liang didn't say where to meet?" Yu Yanke asked softly after knowing who it was.
And the palace maid covered her mouth and chuckled: "Mr. Liang said that we will meet in the meditation pavilion outside the city.........."
"Oh, by the way, the Meditation Pavilion is ten miles outside the East Yanmen, the scenery is very good, Mr. Liang said that Yu Gongzi can go and see it when he is free, he has always been there. ”
After speaking, the palace maid added. Yu Yanke nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
"How dare you let Mr. Liang wait, I will go over as soon as possible tomorrow. ”
