Chapter 2: The Return of Green Qi to the South (4)
Volume 14 Chapter 2 (4)
Just as he was about to make a promise, a cold and cruel voice sounded behind him: "You are rude, but since Your Highness doesn't care, this seat will not embarrass you." If Miss Lu Qi was really robbed, His Royal Highness would do his best, but this seat has a little doubt, Lin Zhiheng and He Yunxiu were attacked behind their backs, and they didn't see the appearance of the enemy, you are next to Miss Lu Qi, and you exclaimed, didn't you see the appearance of the enemy?"
Only heard its voice, did not see its person, Zhongbo was already cold in his heart, looked up, only to see that the door was pushed in was a thirty-five or sixteen-year-old man in black robes, the appearance is upright and gentle, but the eyes are cold and cold, through the infinite murderous intention, people feel shudder at a glance, the last time Ximen Rin to Wan Songxuan when Zhongbo had a glimpse of Ximen Rin from a distance, not seen for a while, only to feel that this person is becoming more and more cold and solemn, he subconsciously turned his head to look at Luo Chengyu, but saw that his eyebrows were locked, silent, the dignified His Royal Highness the Prince is like this, Zhongbo did not dare to look at the anger in his heart, hesitated, and said bluntly"After the young lady learned the information of the second young lady and the son of Zijing, she ignored the doctor's advice and forcibly got up to stroke the piano, and as soon as the song was played, the young lady tore off all the strings, perhaps because she was exhausted, and then fainted next to the piano platform. Although the old slave has not read poetry books, he has also heard the young lady say that 'all the strings are overwhelming, and the people die together', lest the young lady move the idea of suicide, so he exclaimed, just wanted to step forward to help, but was hit by someone in the vest acupoint, and even the shadow of the enemy did not see the coma, if not, the old slave is only one breath left, and will never let the thief take away the eldest lady. The old slave was ordered by the general. Take care of the two young ladies, only hate themselves for being incompetent, let the two young ladies suffer from displacement, and now the second young lady is poisonous, and her life is on the verge of death, the old slave has long been shameless to see the general and his wife underground, if the eldest lady has any three long and two short, what is the meaning of the old slave is living in the world?"
Hearing his words so sad, not only Luo Chengyu. is an assassin, and he can't bear to practice without a trace in his heart, but Ximen Rin was unmoved, and said coldly: "Although you are conclusive. This seat is not a person who can be easily deceived, this seat now suspects that your master and servant are conspiring, Miss Lu Qi's clear voice, so that the two stupid boys standing in the snow outside the door are intoxicated. Then you snap the strings and let out an exclamation, while your young lady goes out through the back window and goes around to the front to attack the two of them. Afterwards they will stun you and give the illusion that someone is looting, so that your Highness will not be angry. Herald the north bank of the Yellow River. Blocked Miss Midori's trip. I don't know if what I said is right or not? Don't use the excuse that Miss Lu Qi is seriously ill and has not recovered, is Miss Lu Qi's illness so serious on the surface. Only your master and servant know, in the past five or six days, hasn't Miss Lu Qi even refused the doctor's invitation? Do you want to say that there are no footprints on the snow? Not to mention that the light skills of Dongting Shuangjie are outstanding, even if Miss Lu Qi does not have the ability to step on the snow without a trace, this seat also knows that there are seven or eight ways to remove the traces on the snow, and there are no flaws, even if Miss Lu Qi does not know so much, three or four are still land, right? Yin Zhong, you were the confidant and personal guard of the bloody hand mad Jiao in the past, and you are still loyal to this day, but it is rare, have you never thought that if the opportunity is revealed, one of your lives will be buried in Youji?"
As soon as these words came out, Luo Chengyu's face changed slightly, and he looked at Zhongbo without blinking for a moment, his eyes revealed a little doubt, Zhongbo's complexion changed drastically, but there was no fear, only endless anger, Lian Wuxian sighed lightly in his heart, but with a few words, the situation was reversed to this point, the commander of Yanshan Wei is worthy of his name, but Ximen Rin is so strong and domineering, isn't he afraid that the rift between the monarch and the minister will be deeper?
Luo Chengyu is not an ordinary person after all, although he was shaken by Ximen's words, he didn't believe it immediately, his eyes swept over the furnishings in the room, and finally fell on the Yaoqin, only to see that the strings were broken, the fractures were uneven, and there were faint traces of blood on it. Commander Ximen doesn't have to speculate, Miss Lu Qi is noble and noble, how can she give up other people's lives to fulfill herself, not to mention that she loves the piano like her life, if she is not extremely sad, how can she tear off the strings with her own hands, someone must have sneaked into Wan Songxuan, taking advantage of Miss Lu Qi's pain and coma, and the person who came can restrain the indoor and outdoor three people between the fingers, obviously the martial arts are unfathomable, I am afraid that no trace is not an opponent, and please ask the commander of Ximen to carefully inspect the inside and outside of Wan Songxuan, hoping to find some clues. Come on, please go down and rest, no trace, you give me an order, Miss Lu Qi has the Hetian jade pendant of this son, all the subordinates of Youji, if you see the jade talisman, if you see the face of this son, if Miss Lu Qi is not coerced, but there is an order, you can obey, if someone coerces Miss Lu Qi, you will do your best to rescue. β
Hearing this, Lian Wuxian hurriedly pulled the angry Zhongbo out, and ordered the two guards to take Zhongbo down to rest, after that, he did not go out immediately to give orders, but leaned close to the window and listened carefully to the movements in Wan Songxuan, and after a long time, he began to hear the sound of Luo Chengyu and Ximen Rin talking, although the atmosphere was a little stiff, but there didn't seem to be any conflict, so he felt a little calmer, and turned to Fengtai Pavilion to convey Luo Chengyu's order.
There were only two people left in the room, Luo Chengyu and Ximen Rin, Luo Chengyu was silent for a long time, and then said lightly: "Does Commander Ximen know why I want to inlay a glass screen on the wall of the study that can give you a clear view of the interior of the study?"
Simon Rin
, I didn't expect Luo Chengyu to ask this irrelevant question, and said slightly: "The study is the important place for His Royal Highness to deal with official business, although the glass screen can enjoy the scenery, but it is also easy to be watched, Mr. Wu and the ministers have been admonished that day, but His Royal Highness did not adopt it, and then the county lord passed the book and agreed to this matter, but why His Royal Highness wants to install this glass screen, the minister still can't figure it out for many years." β
Luo Chengyu said lightly: "Although I am the prince of Yanwang, I have never forgotten my true identity, I am actually not much more noble than those guard generals who were born in Yanwutang, but it is because of the care of my mother-in-law that I have today's glory and status, this glass screen can allow me to see the scenery outside at any time, and I can let people see my every move, so that I can always be vigilant and will not behave inconsistent with my identity." Speaking of this, Luo Chengyu's expression couldn't help but be a little gloomy.
Ximen Rin was slightly stunned, he never thought that Luo Chengyu's thoughts were like this, he wanted to comfort, but he had nothing to say, fortunately, Luo Chengyu's gloomy sadness was only for a moment, and he quickly cheered up and continued: "Although the idea of the day was naΓ―ve, but after a long time, I found that this glass screen has another benefit, just like the commander of Ximen, who clearly knows the terrain and defense around the study, and knows that the forests on the shore of the snow lake are not the best hiding place, and still chose to watch the whole process of this son summoning He Yunxiu. β
Although Luo Chengyu exposed similar rebellious behavior, Ximen Rin did not have a trace of anger, just smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Your Highness is wise, this glass screen is indeed the best bait, presumably the enemy secret spies who have been identified by His Highness over the years, as well as the spies sent by the king, are all defeated on this glass screen nine times out of ten, but the minister is also just a minister, Zhiheng's child didn't see anything, read his gratitude and righteousness, Your Highness should not blame him." β
Luo Chengyu sighed and said: "Zhiheng, this kid is both civil and military, and it is rare to be strong and decisive, I left him by my side, I was originally a little selfish, I wanted to see me and Zijing, in his heart, which is more important, I didn't expect that in just a few days, Zijing's influence on him has been so profound, if my stepmother was willing to teach Zijing with all her might, he would be a more suitable son than me!"
Ximen Rin said with a straight face: "Why did Your Highness say this, the battle for the throne is the first to be orthodox, if Your Highness still has doubts in his heart, how should we vassals deal with ourselves?" Since the county lord has decided to inherit the throne by His Royal Highness, there are naturally considerations of the county lord, although Zijing Gongzi has the legacy of the county lord, but his temperament is too arrogant and extreme, this is nature, not manpower can be corrected, if Zijing Gongzi is the king, or you can let Youji dominate the northern frontier, the foundation is solid, but His Royal Highness is the king, but he can leap the Yellow River and dominate the world, His Royal Highness is not here to feel sorry for himself, it is better to think about what will happen to our courtiers who are loyal to the county lord and His Royal Highness. β
Luo Chengyu smiled bitterly: "How can I not know this, the struggle for power is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, it's just the success or failure of a family and a country, the most important thing is to work together, in this case, you and I should be more open and honest between you, let me ask again, is Miss Luqi really not in your hands?"
Ximen Rin raised his eyebrows, like a sword out of the sheath, and said coldly: "If Your Highness doesn't believe it, the minister is helpless, when the minister is outside, or there will be a time when he is not subject to the king's order, now since he is in Xindu, he will definitely not act without the permission of His Highness, if the minister is rebellious to this point, I am afraid that he will be eradicated by Mr. Wu before he has waited until today." β
Luo Chengyu was silent, a pair of phoenix eyes stared at Ximen Rin's eyes for a long time, and then smiled: "This prince also believes that with the wisdom of the commander, there will be a more appropriate strategy to solve this matter, instead of disobeying the yang and the yin and making claims, so in the opinion of the Ximen commander, who in the world can come and go freely in the well-defended county lord's mansion?"
An indescribable light flashed in Ximen Rin's eyes, and then he shook his head and said: "If the minister knows who this person is, he will definitely not let him succeed easily, the world is so big, there are indeed people who can come and go freely in the county lord's mansion, the four great grandmasters have this ability, and Mr. Wu and the minister can also barely do it, but whether it is the four great grandmasters or the two of us, why do we need to hijack a weak woman like Miss Luqi?" However, the minister advised His Royal Highness not to order Dasuo, firstly, so as not to be ashamed of the truth, and secondly, the minister still had the previous opinion, and it may not be a good thing for Miss Luqi to return to the south. β
Luo Chengyu's eyes turned cold when he heard this, he lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and then said: "Commander Ximen is right, I am too strong to make it difficult, it is indeed not appropriate to order Dasuo, since this is the case, this matter will be handed over to Commander Ximen to you to investigate personally, and you must find out, if someone can easily infiltrate the mansion, this son is only afraid that he will not be able to sleep well." If you really find Miss Lu Qi, you can arrange for her to return to the south, break the string and swear, my mind has been decided, and it will be useless for me to force her to stay, but you have to take good care of Miss Lu Qi along the way, and you must send her to Zijing safely. β
Ximen Rin's eyes flashed with joy, and he bowed down and said: "Your Highness, rest assured, if you can find Miss Luqi, the minister will definitely obey the order and dare not violate it in the slightest." β
