Chapter 108: Now it's Thirteen Niang
It was Fu Cheng who put forward the suggestion of going to Xiahou Mansion again, Fu Cheng is a very lazy person, as long as there are people around him who use their brains, he is too lazy to use his brains, before he just had to follow Zhou Xuanyi's train of thought, because he believed in Zhou Xuanyi's accurate judgment. But not now, Zhou Xuanyi is obviously not in a state, and Fucheng will naturally take on some responsibilities.
It's been two months, and even if there is any evidence left in Xiahou's Mansion, it should be destroyed by the murderer or Jinyiwei, but as long as something happens, some clues can be left.
Just like the first suggestion made by Zhou Xuanyi after waking up, whether he can enter Xiahou Mansion or not, only by returning to the source of the initial development of things can he get closer and closer to the truth.
After Fu Cheng and Zhou Xuanyi came out of Liu Qingqing's Yizhuang, they rushed towards Xiahou Mansion, and Zhou Xuanyi was absent-minded along the way, not knowing what he was thinking.
Zhou Xuanyi felt a huge uneasiness, Zhou Xuanyi accepted too many things at once, he could only maintain his calmness on the surface, his heart was restless, his heart collided for no reason, and he vaguely felt that something was going to happen.
Humans and animals have a wonderful ability to predict, and when they encounter danger, they will be afraid and can't help but shrink back. Although Zhou Xuanyi was walking towards Xiahou Mansion, his truest instinct was resisting all this, he almost wanted to escape, to hell with the truth and his life experience.
Just as he was thinking this, his hand was suddenly grasped. I have always disliked touching Rao Fucheng, so I gently took his hand at this time. It is estimated that Zhou Xuanyi forcibly pulled Fucheng in front of Lu Chuanbai just now, and Fucheng was detained all the way by Zhou Xuanyi, and now I don't feel ashamed to hold hands.
Zhou Xuanyi felt the temperature of Fucheng, and Fucheng's palm was ironed against his palm, warm and reassuring.
Zhou Xuanyi turned his head to look at Fu Cheng, Fu Cheng did not look at him, but looked ahead, Zhou Xuanyi just happened to see his side face, his eyes unconsciously fell on the bridge of Fu Cheng's beautiful nose, looking at the slightly raised hump, which was plated with a layer of fine golden light.
Fu Cheng didn't have words, but he firmly conveyed a message, I am here.
It stands to reason that he shouldn't think about the love of his children now, but at this time, Fucheng can bring him safety and blessing Zhou Xuanyi took it back, and the two of them seemed to be sharing a strength, and they could resist together no matter what happened in the future.
Zhou Xuanyi attached to Fu Cheng's ear and smiled softly: "You obviously like me, why don't you admit it?"
"Who likes you?" Fu Cheng then choked out, like these two words mean a lot to Fu Cheng, and he can't just say it before thinking clearly.
Zhou Xuanyi likes to see Fu Cheng's appearance of being guessed, like a cat with a tail stepped on, Zhou Xuanyi raised his hand and said, "Then what is this?"
Fu Cheng looked at the hands of the two of them, a little weak-hearted, and said, "Look at your aggrieved look, comfort and comfort you." ”
Zhou Xuanyi raised his eyebrows and said, "You also comfort Song Chuan like this?"
Fu Cheng frowned, thought about this scene carefully, and wanted Fu Cheng to hold it with Song Chuan like this, Fu Cheng had goosebumps. Fu Cheng saw Zhou Xuanyi's pale face just now, and subconsciously held Zhou Xuanyi's empty hand, he didn't feel anything at first, but now he feels a little weird, two big men are holding hands, or in front of so many faces, a little embarrassed.
Zhou Xuanyi saw that Fu Cheng wanted to run, so he clenched his grip and said, "What are you doing?"
"Don't run. Fu Cheng and Zhou Xuanyi walked to a crowded place, Fu Cheng was a little thin-skinned, and said: "There are a lot of people, you have to take it back." ”
"Don't let go. Zhou Xuanyi's temper came up, and he held Fu Cheng's hand, with a posture that would never let go.
Fu Cheng sighed and could only follow him.
At this time, the crowd in front of him suddenly stirred, and someone covered his nose and measured his body, saying, "Stinky to death, stay away from me." ”
Then someone was shouting, "Blood!
Someone else was concerned: "Is the girl injured?"
Even more exaggerated, they shouted: "Kill! kill!"
Farther away, however, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard, as if someone was chasing and someone was running. Through the head, Zhou Xuanyi and Fu Cheng couldn't see what was happening in front of them.
Wherever a woman passed, people on both sides of the road dispersed, consciously leaving a passage wide for the woman, and no one wanted to be exposed to such mildew.
The woman felt ridiculous, and when she walked into Willow Shade Lane, everyone consciously made way for her, and everyone had ill intentions towards her. However, the person is still the same person, but the treatment is very different. The woman thought to herself, her qi was really exhausted.
Thirteen Niang has nothing to do with the elegance of the peerless generation when they first met, and at this moment Thirteen Niang is covered in blood, like an exiled beggar. She was still dressed in the same way that she sneaked into Xiahou Mansion at that time, wearing the clothes of the maid of Xiahou Mansion, her hair had been completely scattered, and the two months she had been locked in the dungeon had exhausted all her vitality, and her original black hair was knotted. The skin that was originally as delicate as snow was covered with blood, and the festering wounds on the body had suppurated, and even a few white wriggling worms had emerged.
Thirteen Niang's escape time was very short, so short that it was too late to change into a new dress, and the blood shadow Thirteen Niang, who was like a beggar, was too eye-catching, like a moving live target.
Thirteen Niang went to the broken temple once, and at that time, Jin Ling didn't recognize who she was at all, and didn't associate her with the blood shadow Thirteen Niang who made Jin Ling stunned. Jin Ling estimated that she looked pitiful, and she was not embarrassed by her, and truthfully gave the information she knew, but Fu Cheng had already gone out, and she didn't know where she went. Jin Ling wanted to keep her for a drink, but the Blood Shadow Thirteen Niang thanked her and left in a hurry.
For the first time, Thirteen Niang felt that the remote Bailu City was so big, she could only go to Xiahou Mansion, an hour was about to pass, and she had to finish her own things in a limited time.
Thirteen Niang's physical strength gradually exhausted, her limbs were as heavy as lead, and the more she walked, the more she felt that her speed was getting slower and slower, just like ordinary people. Thirteen Niang stumbled and ran, just like the prince, "Run, go find your master." "Thirteen Niang is like an animal, behind it is a pack of wolves that may catch up at any time, Thirteen Niang can only move forward, there is no other way but to move forward. What supports her to go down is the belief in her heart, and the Blood Shadow Thirteen Niang silently recited in her heart while running forward, bless, bless.
People are inevitably superstitious in the face of extreme gambling adversity, and when she reads these words, the words are bloody, bless, bless.
Perhaps it was Shang's pity for her as a loyal servant, and at the last moment of her life, she finally met her master Zhou Heng.
Some people are born to change their luck, such as Zhou Heng. And the Blood Shadow Thirteen Niang is just an insignificant figure, and the prince won't even look down on her.
The Blood Shadow Thirteen Niang lived for such a belief, and this was the last thing Empress Chen told her. Keep Zhou Heng and send him to the throne.
Blood Shadow Thirteen Niang saw Zhou Heng from afar, there was a man beside him, the two of them were outlined by the sinking sunset with their ten fingers clasped, Blood Shadow Thirteen Niang was stunned, and the next moment she laughed, she saw them looking at Pets with eyes, as if the other party was the only pillar in this world.
How wonderful. Blood Shadow Thirteen Niang thought to herself, can she see such a master before she dies, is it worthy of Queen Chen's entrustment?
The commotion was getting bigger and bigger, and Zhou Xuanyi and Fu Cheng did not disperse like others, so the woman was able to rush to the two of them smoothly. However, when he completely saw the face of Nurao, no one recognized that it was the Blood Shadow Thirteen Niang.
Thirteen Niang stopped ten steps away from Zhou Xuanyi, and only then did she realize how depressed and unruly she looked now.
Thirteen Niang looked at Zhou Xuanyi and Fu Cheng in such a daze, and the first to recognize it was Fu Cheng, Fu Cheng had a deep impression of the Blood Shadow Thirteen Niang, just because it was too deep, this time the contrast between the appearance of Thirteen Niang was too great, and Fu Cheng never thought that there was a Blood Shadow Thirteen Niang who had been looking for so long to rush to him, so he looked at the other party and was stunned for a while before reacting.
Fu Cheng wasn't sure what he was thinking, and hesitated: "Is that the Blood Shadow Thirteen Niang?"
Zhou Xuanyi was stunned, his pupils shrank instantly, and when he saw Thirteen Niang, he seemed to have seen something extremely terrifying, and the next moment his pupils were filled with the appearance of Thirteen Niang of Blood Shadow.
Even if Thirteen Niang has fallen to the extreme, she can't be called good-looking at all, but the way she laughs is so seductive, she shouted: "Master." ”
Zhou Xuanyi intuitively felt that his heart was choked, and he recognized that it was the big palace maid beside Queen Chen, who grew up taking care of Zhou Xuanyi. Thirteen Niang and Queen Chen are commensurate with each other, and Zhou Xuanyi always calls her Thirteen Aunt Thirteen sweetly and "unruly".
How could the thirteenth aunt appear here? How could it become like this? Zhou Xuanyi saw the people close to him, and after the initial stunned, he was happy. He couldn't stop laughing when he looked at Aunt Thirteen, and stepped forward, ready to catch Aunt Thirteen's crumbling body.
When Zhou Xuanyi walked five steps away from Aunt Thirteen, the next moment, an accident happened.
Poof.
A spear carrying a piercing cold light stabbed towards Thirteen Niang, and the red tassel spear passed through Thirteen Niang's thin body. When the deadline of an hour came, the "Kun" came. The sneak attackers have outstanding martial arts and deep internal strength. The tip of the spear accurately stabbed Thirteen Niang in the abdomen and then stuck obliquely on the bluestone slab, Thirteen Niang was like a piece of rotten meat that had been pierced, and her body hung in the air but did not fall.
Thirteen Niang used all her strength, held the red tassel gun on her chest, and covered her wound with one hand, but the blood flowed out, and Thirteen Niang was already dying.
Zhou Xuanyi was stunned in place, as if he couldn't believe what was happening, and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, and someone next to him shouted in a hurry: "Kill, kill, kill!"
Thirteen Niang smiled, she laughed extremely miserably, she had already predicted her fate in advance, and she didn't feel so panicked. She looked at Zhou Xuanyi's frightened face, but what she thought in her heart was that she had scared her master.
Thirteen Niang held the handle of the spear in her hand, slowly raised her head, a simple action now seemed to weigh a thousand catties, her mouth opened and closed, her voice was very low, and she had no extra strength. At the last moment, she contributed her last value and told Zhou Xuanyi the whereabouts of the Blood Buddha.
Zhou Xuanyi obviously heard it, but he felt that he hadn't heard anything, and he only had his thirteenth aunt in his mind.
After a while, Thirteen Niang completely choked her breath, she maintained the posture before she died, her eyes slowly closed, one hand covered her chest, and she was nailed to the street like a pious martyr.
The blood of the thirteenth aunt flowed down the red tassel spear, and every drop of blood was like a stab in Zhou Xuanyi's heart. The blood gathered into Tan, as if it had grown feet, and slowly flowed to Zhou Xuanyi's feet, wetting the tips of Zhou Xuanyi's boots, and slowly climbing up Zhou Xuanyi's instep, as if to drown his whole person.
Zhou Xuanyi remembered, he finally remembered everything.
Zhou Xuanyi wanted to go up and touch Thirteen Niang's face, but was dragged by Fu Cheng, he looked at Fu Cheng in confusion, and Fu Cheng shook his head lightly at him.
Fu Cheng saw what Zhou Xuanyi couldn't see now, and behind Thirteen Niang, a team of people rushed over without hurrying. A man riding at the front of the horse, with a gloomy face, the red tassel spear just now was thrown by him, and he could accurately hit Thirteen Niang in the crowd with so many people, this person is by no means a good stubble.
The man, armed with a knife, drank, "Arrest the female assassin." ”
The people around him talked about it, and Fu Cheng knew that this man was a member of the Zhenbei Army, a general with a heavy army, named Li Xingkong, who was on an errand under the big county lord Li Xiaojiao. This time, the fugitive was arrested on the street because of the crime of "Thirteen Niang's attempted assassination of the prince".
Li Xingkong frowned and asked, "What do you two have to do with her?"
"It doesn't matter, passing by. Fu Cheng hurriedly replied, pulling Zhou Xuanyi to stand on both sides of the road and blending in with the flow of people.
Zhou Xuanyi was like a puppet who had lost his soul at this time, and was gently dragged away by Fu Cheng.
Zhou Xuanyi's eyes were red, and he looked at Li Xingkong with his fists clenched, there was always a thousand stalks about him
At this time, another sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a snow-white horse walked leisurely, carrying the prince on it. The prince patted his chest exaggeratedly and panickedly, and said to Li Xingkong: "Fortunately, General Li is here, otherwise I would have been cut by this vicious assassin with a thousand knives." ”
Li Xingkong was supposed to fight in the frontier, but unfortunately he had to accompany the prince to play a game of cat and mouse, which was not pleasant in itself. ”
The prince glanced at Thirteen Niang, sighed, and then raised his sleeves to cover the corpse, I can't see this kind of bloody thing. ”
Things, Zhou Xuanyi gritted his teeth, in the eyes of the prince, the thirteenth aunt is just a dirty thing.
The prince finally saw Zhou Xuanyi in the crowd, and when he saw his hand with Fu Cheng, the prince felt a little unhappy. But he immediately put on that fake smile again, his peach blossom eyes were crooked, he looked directly at Zhou Xuanyi, and thought: I'm here, there will always be a person who will come to me on your knees. The prince yawned, as if he was tired of watching this scene, and said, "General Li, I will definitely say a few kind words to you with my eldest sister." ”
Li Xingkong slowly climbed from the bottom soldier to the position of general, and the most disdainful thing was a gentleman like the prince. Li Xingkong didn't care much about the prince's words, thinking that as long as you don't make a moth, it's better than anything.
The prince didn't look at Zhou Xuanyi, his eyes slowly glanced at the crowd where Zhou Xuanyi was, and then urged the white horse, and the horse's hooves "got it" to move forward. At this time, he was happy in his heart, singing some incomprehensible operas in his mouth, Zhou Xuanyi listened to it for a while, and then heard that it was "Dream in the Garden".
The prince sat crookedly on the back of the horse, as if he was drunk but not drunk, like a boneless mud. He sat on horseback and sang affectionately: "I don't know where love starts, I always have deep love." ”
Li Jianqing's words just conveyed a very obvious message: No matter what you do, you will not escape my surveillance.
All of Zhou Xuanyi's self-made smart decisions and even his daily actions took place under the watchful eye of the prince.
Li Xingkong watched the back of the prince slowly walk away, and then scolded in a low voice.
Li Xingkong glanced at the Blood Shadow Thirteen Niang absentmindedly, and then waved his hand and asked the entourage of the Zhenbei Army to collect the corpse.
The crowd gathered on the side discussed with relish for a while, Thirteen Niang will be their talk after dinner today, and they can boast of seeing the story of the prince after drinking, and people will disperse after watching it for a while, after all, the corpse is not an auspicious thing.
From beginning to end, only Fu Cheng and Zhou Xuanyi were still in place, Zhou Xuanyi pinched Fu Cheng's palm tightly, and Fu Cheng felt that his hand was almost crushed by him.
The Zhenbei army was very handy in dealing with the corpse, they found a straw mat and collected the body of Thirteen Niang casually, and the attitude towards Thirteen Niang was not as good as the red tassel gun, after all, this silver gun was General Li's sharp weapon, but he didn't dare to slack off, and wiped it carefully before wrapping it in white silk cloth.
The entourage of the Zhenbei Army washed the blood stains on the bluestone slabs and bricks with water, and did not shy away from Zhou Xuanyi when they splashed water outside, and said: "Get out of the way, don't get in the way." ”
Zhou Xuanyi didn't move, the blood diluted by the water flowed into the sewer, and the other part was splashed on his upper. He felt that the soles of his shoes were sticky, as if he was stepping on the corpse and rotten flesh of the Bloody Shadow Thirteen Niang.
After a while, even the entourage of the Zhenbei Army also left, and the people on the street began to flow again, Zhou Xuanyi looked at the brown liquid that could not be washed away on the bluestone slab bricks, which was the last evidence that the thirteenth aunt left in this world.
Zhou Xuanyi felt a great sorrow, the thirteenth aunt died because of him, because of his useless master.
The strange thing is that Zhou Xuanyi felt very calm, the death of the thirteenth aunt seemed to wake him up, he recovered all his memories and found his long-lost strength. He can no longer shrink into the protective circle of Fucheng, he must shoulder the responsibility he should bear.
Zhou Xuanyi let go of the hand that was holding Fu Cheng, and said in a dumb voice: "Please do one thing for you." ”
Fu Cheng listened quietly, but looked at Zhou Xuanyi with concern, no one can remain calm in the face of all this. The more normal it is, the more abnormal it is.
Zhou Xuanyi looked at Fu Cheng and said, "Find the Blood Buddha." Zhou Xuanyi's eyes were very serious, he entrusted his life and death to Fucheng, and it was the first time he had such an unreserved instruction to a person, and said: "With the dragon talisman in hand, Lu Chuanbai doesn't dare to stop you, enter the Xiahou Mansion to find the Blood Buddha, and then destroy it." ”
Fu Cheng felt that Zhou Xuanyi had something to say, and asked, "What about you?"
Zhou Xuanyi took a deep breath and said, "I'll go to meet the prince." Zhou Xuanyi sneered when he talked about the prince, what Li Jianqing wanted was himself, so he would send it to the door by himself.
Fu Cheng opened his mouth, there was no room for him to interfere in this matter, but Fu Cheng didn't want Zhou Xuanyi and Li Jianqing to meet at all, Li Jianqing was so deep that the city was terrifying, even if he didn't know martial arts, it was also terrifying.
Zhou Xuanyi said: "I'll go and bring back the body of Aunt Thirteen." ”
Fu Cheng was relieved when he heard this, Zhou Xuanyi was still the same Zhou Xuanyi, he was neither crazy nor stupid, he took whatever he wanted, and pursued the target closely. What's not reassuring about Zhou Xuanyi like this?
Fu Cheng knew in his heart and said, "Heart." ”
Zhou Xuanyi was relieved not to go down to the city, the internal chaos of Xiahou Mansion, I don't know how dangerous things were waiting for him, and said, "You too." After Zhou Xuanyi finished this sentence, he seemed to feel that it was not enough, and added: "I want to come back alive." ”
I'm going to come back alive, Fucheng, I'm the only one left with you.
Fu Cheng smiled at Zhou Xuanyi, revealing the dimples on his cheeks, and said, "Don't worry, you can't die." ”
Zhou Xuanyi walked towards the east of the city, he knew that the prince was waiting for him in Deyue Xuan. The prince's mind is too easy to guess, the baht must be compared, where to lose face, where to get back, at that time Zhou Xuanyi avoided the prince, Li Jianqing was heartbroken.
As soon as Zhou Xuanyi entered Deyue Xuan, Boss Zhu greeted him, and the prince had been waiting in the private room upstairs for a long time.
Zhou Xuanyi swept over the guests present lightly, his gaze swept over the person at the northernmost table, the last time he came to Deyuexuan, Fu Cheng had pointed out that this table was wrong, this time he came again, he looked ordinary, ordered a table of dishes, but did not touch the food.
Under the training of Fucheng, Zhou Xuanyi began to look around his environment purposefully, there was more than one such person in this inn, and there were seven tables of people within Zhou Xuanyi's reach.
Zhou Xuanyi sneered, the prince was seriously suspicious and afraid of death, but he still couldn't change it.
Before Boss Zhu could introduce him, Zhou Xuanyi walked upstairs with a familiar car, and kicked open a private room upstairs with a bang under Boss Zhu's surprised gaze. Boss Zhu was stunned, thinking that this guest was really grumpy.
Zhou Xuanyi kicked open the private room where he had a secret conversation with Xia Shilin last time, and sure enough, Li Jianqing was sitting in the middle of him, with a person standing on each side, and on the left was Li Wenxiu, who was seven or eight points similar to Zhou Xuanyi, Li Wenxiu saw Zhou Xuanyi's eyes shrink, and then he lowered his head uncontrollably, he saw that Zhou Xuanyi was always afraid. Su Meiniang standing on the right, Su Meiniang smiled when she saw Zhou Xuanyi, she smiled brightly and movingly, and her silky eyes seemed to be holding a pool of spring water.
There are countless masters standing behind the prince, and there are four people hiding in the dark in this room alone, Zhou Xuanyi knows that this is Li Jianqing's lackey, in this room, Zhou Xuanyi has no chance of winning if he dares to make a move.
Li Jianqing is making tea, his gestures are extraordinary, Zhou Xuanyi used to like to watch him make tea in the past, and it is always pleasing to the eye to do this kind of thing with his well-defined hands, but Zhou Xuanyi felt that he was extremely pretentious at this time.
Li Jianqing glanced at Zhou Xuanyi lightly, and said with a smile: "Ah Heng is here?"
Zhou Xuanyi felt disgusted when he heard these two at this time, and he clenched his fists before suppressing his anger.
Zhou Xuanyi didn't answer him, he walked up to Li Jianqing by himself and sat down on the chair opposite him.
"Remembered?" when the prince spoke, it seemed to be an invitation, and the subtext seemed to be there, and he didn't thank me yet, if it weren't for me, you might have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to recover your memory.
Zhou Xuanyi snorted, he hated this kind of every move under the control of the other party, and even his emotions had to be controlled by the other party to the point of being accurate to the slightest.
Li Jianqing pushed a cup of tea in front of Zhou Xuanyi and said, "It's not poisonous." ”
Zhou Xuanyi glanced down, and there was a bird's tongue in the teacup, and the bird's tongue sank vertically at the bottom of the cup like a wheat tip. Zhou Xuanyi suddenly remembered that when the prince was in the palace, he liked to drink the tongue of the bird, and when asked why, Li Jianqing said because the tongue was good-looking.
When Li Jianqing was a proton in Kyoto, the thirteenth aunt also loved him, but Li Jianqing easily let the thirteenth aunt die in such a dignified posture, Zhou Xuanyi ignored the prince's face, pushed away the teacup, calmly came out of his own intentions, and said: "Give me the body of the thirteenth aunt." ”
Zhou Xuanyi's refusal to drink tea really annoyed Li Jianqing, Li Jianqing doesn't like people who are not controlled, and he can't see others disobeying him.
Li Jianqing said stubbornly: "Drink tea." ”
Zhou Xuanyi didn't move, feeling that Li Jianqing was like a madman.
Li Jianqing saw Zhou Xuanyi's contemptuous gaze, put down the teacup, sneered, and said, "It's just a lackey, as for it?"
Zhou Xuanyi's tight strings finally broke at this time, he exerted force in the palm of his hand, and the tea cup broke in his hand, bringing out a stream of blood, and the next moment, the broken porcelain piece of the tea cup was against Li Jianqing's neck, Zhou Xuanyi gritted his teeth and said: "You do it again!"
At the same time, Li Wenxiu and Su Meiniang shot at the same time, and the two sharp blades were pressed against Zhou Xuanyi's neck, and Zhou Xuanyi also felt a chill behind him, and he pressed a hand on his shoulder, as long as Zhou Xuanyi dared to act rashly, these three people would be able to splash their blood on the spot in the next moment.
Li Jianqing raised his hand and asked Su Meiniang to leave them alone, he looked at Zhou Xuanyi without fear, and repeated: "I, aren't you just a dog?"
Li Jianqing was deliberately provoking him.
The broken porcelain piece went a little deeper, and the blood flowed down Li Jianqing's snow-white neck, and Su Meiniang hurriedly said: "Lord Wang!"
Zhou Xuanyi's voice was cold, and he said, "Do you know that I can die with you?" As long as Zhou Xuanyi takes a step forward, he can be pierced into a hedgehog in his back, but at the same time, the prince will not survive.
