Chapter 39 (9)
When Lord Xia Zhuang saw her dressing, she must be a concubine of high rank in the palace, and she didn't want to have a head-on conflict with her. patiently stepped forward, bowed his hand, and said: "Say hello to the mother, the mother is auspicious." I wonder why you're blocking your courtier's way for no reason?"
That beauty is Shen Shiyun. Hearing this, he smiled faintly, like flowers blooming in the mountains, overflowing with fragrant fragrance, and said, "Mr. is polite." I just saw you walk by, and it was like a genius from heaven, and his bearing was extraordinary, and he must be a person with a great background. This palace has always liked to make friends with heroes and heroes, and it is a special visit to visit. I would like to ask for your forgiveness. β
She spoke softly and politely, and her voice was as soft as the spring water of the mountains and forests, even the owner of Xia Zhuang was fascinated by it, and her smile added a few different looks, and she smiled: "Niangniang has won the award." Xia Xingxia, with the help of family power, has a little reputation in the martial arts, and it is not worth it, so he will not laugh in front of his mother. Recently, the villa was flooded, and I had to go to the palace to rest for a few days. If you are disturbed, please forgive me. β
The two of them come and go, and they all talk about the scene very smoothly. In fact, they hide their identities, but they prefer to reveal them a little, so that the other party can speculate on their own. Regardless of whether you guess it or not, you can always earn a lot of face.
Shen Shiyun thought for a while, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the Xia Zhuang master who sat in the second position of the four major families, and the palace has admired the name for a long time. I heard that the four owners of the village have outstanding achievements in martial arts. It is rumored that Mr. Xia is over fifty years old, but when he looks at it in the palace, he is only a year old, and his complexion is much better than that of others. It seems that if you have a unique set of skills, it must be the art of rejuvenation. β
The ancestors of the Yuan and Xia families had a marriage, which was the chivalrous couple of Yuan Jie, the young lord of the original city, and Xia Yuanyuan, the second lady of Xia Cheng, when the four cities were at their peak many years ago. After the two families got married, they helped each other and supported each other, and they all had the image of prosperity.
The original family is recognized as the first of the four cities, and as for the following Ping and Xia families, the ranking is inconsistent, and there is no conclusion. Therefore, there is no real "second place in the four major families", Shen Shiyun said so, and he had the intention to cheer for it.
The face of the owner of Xia Zhuang became more and more happy, and he smiled: "Hey, my generation is a drop in the ocean, a nobody in the martial arts, how can Niangniang know? Don't dare to ask Niangniang for the title?" Traditionally, the name of a woman can only be known to the closest people such as parents and brothers, so the owner of Xia Zhuang only dares to ask for a title.
Shen Shiyun smiled faintly and said, "My surname is Shen, as one of the victims of the Seven Evil Treasures, have you heard of the Shadowless Villa?"
Back then, the three Shen Aotian brothers built the Shadowless Villa, which was mainly based on the outside of the square and secluded from the world, so they were not famous in the rivers and lakes. But the orphan of Shadowless Villa is outstanding, calling for wind and rain in the palace, and even using the power in his hands to create a great momentum in the martial arts, which is really known to everyone.
The owner of Xia Zhuang has had a lot of contact with people from both sides, and he has heard of this name. patted his head and said, "It turns out that you are the most favored concubine Yun Guifei in today's saints? Famous people, I will be lucky!"
Shen Shiyun said with a smile: "It's not a big name, at most it's just a vain name." Xia Zhuang said: "You're polite, you're polite." β
The two humbly said a few words to each other, and the owner of Xia Zhuang said: "After talking about it for a long time, I still don't know why Niangniang is looking for me?" This sentence already revealed a little impatience. Shen Shiyun said: "Oh, I just talked to Mr. about it, and I inadvertently forgot about it." Then he lowered his voice and said, "Please take a step to speak." β
Although the owner of Xia Zhuang himself is also very good at pretending to be a ghost, he is not used to seeing others playing tricks. I followed her to a secluded place angrily, and saw a sedan chair at the end of the alley, covered by a thick curtain. I couldn't help but ask again: "What do you have to tell Niangniang?" If this king can serve ......?"
Shen Shiyun said coldly: "Change someone with you." Without waiting for him to answer, he went to open the curtain, helped out a pale, bowed head, sullen woman, turned around and introduced: "Her name is Nangong Xue, and she is the sweetheart of Li Mengzhu. This palace used her to exchange with Miss Ping, what does the gentleman think?"
The owner of Xia Zhuang was really dazed by this strange transaction for a while, and said strangely: "What does this mean? Does Niang Niang know where to go next? That's not child's play, I'm just about toββ"
Shen Shiyun continued: "Sacrifice to the Seven Evil Saints. The tone was still calm, but in the heart of the owner of Xia Zhuang, it was tantamount to throwing a boulder. Listening to her words, this time I finally didn't dare to slack off, and couldn't help but look at her again. narrowed his eyes and said, "How does Niangniang know?...... Who are you?"
Shen Shiyun said lightly: "Since Mr. has heard of the name of this palace, he should know that no matter how big or small the world is, it can't be hidden from my ears and eyes." As for the Seven Evil Saints, I had a detailed discussion with him just now. That Miss Ping Ruoyu Ping, well, it seems that she is still your niece? In order to please him, you are really ruthless to kill your relatives. It's just a pity - it's not righteous. β
Xia Zhuang said: "In the face of righteousness, we should learn to make trade-offs. What's more, Ruoyu is not my niece, but a descendant of my ancestors' sworn brothers. In my generation, it doesn't matter if I say it nicely, call her a niece, and say it badly. β
Shen Shiyun nodded and sneered: "Mr. is really clear. But if this palace tells you now that you give Miss Ping to him as a sacrifice, he will never accept it, but will lose his temper and accuse you of being incompetent? Nangong Xue is not only his enemy's friend, but also the woman he hates the most in his life, and he has repeatedly killed her, if you can sacrifice this person to him, you will really make a great contribution. β
Lord Xia Zhuang said coldly: "How can I believe you? What is wrong with Ruoyu that makes him so disgusted? Fucking stinky boy is arrogant and immortal, and he dares to pick and choose when he gives him sacrifices!" Shen Shiyun smiled and said: "Your niece is very good, not only that, but she also has a great background, the Seven Evil Saints do not dislike her, but dare not touch her." Who made her the wife of the prince now?"
The owner of Xia Zhuang frowned and said: "Yes, it was she who stalked and finally married the prince of the dynasty as she wished, and I have heard a little about this." But I think he is openly an enemy of the world, and he shouldn't be a wretch who succumbs to the imperial power, right?
Shen Shiyun said: "Prince Cheng is Shangguan Yaohua, not a thing, but he is the most talkative person in front of your master in the world today." At the banquet in the palace, it was precisely for him that he agreed to let Miss Ping go. If you insist on not listening, it will only be thankless. Prince Cheng doesn't love his wife, but he takes his face very seriously, and he won't allow anyone to bully her, otherwise he wouldn't have to stand up and speak for her. If you offend the prince, your master will not care whether you are useful or not...... Anyway, someone has to do this sacrifice, right? If you don't believe in this palace, we can just wait and see, but at that point, don't blame me for not warning you beforehand. β
The owner of Xia Zhuang frowned, this matter would rather be believed than not believed, not to mention that he would not have lost anything by exchanging a sacrifice. But his temperament has always been that everything must be investigated, so he said: "You are so enthusiastic about helping me, but I don't know why? Although I don't want to take advantage of others, I don't want to take advantage of others." The implication was obvious, if she couldn't come up with a good reason, she would rather not accept the honor.
Shen Shiyun thought that he was so suspicious, and smiled. It is precisely because of this that it is convenient to prescribe conditions. smiled: "Sir is really refreshing." You and I both know very well that there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and if you want to repay anything, you have to pay for it first. The condition of this palace is that you want to cooperate with me. With the armor and ammunition in your hands, it will not be a problem to take down the entire capital. Wait for the coup d'Γ©tat, first clear the army in the palace for me, and then bring troops to the Qianqing Palace to help me. If the emperor did not agree to abdicate, he would force him to keep his mouth shut and obey his orders. β
The three people on the other side were still waiting in place, but no one moved to take advantage of the chaos to sneak away, so even people like Ping Ruoyu who used to slip their heads only silently played with their fingers, leaning against the palace wall, and were silent. After waiting for a long time, I didn't know that the owner of Xia Zhuang had negotiated a few terms with each other, only to see him holding Nangong Xue in one hand, Shi Shi came over, and said in the first sentence: "The deal has been established." Yu'er, you can go. β
Ping Ruoyu was surprised and surprised, and said: "What does this mean? You have spent so much effort on me, and now you want to send me away without saying a word? How can it be so easy?" Xia Zhuang said lightly: "It is also a chess piece, so naturally you have to choose a higher use value." I don't need you anymore, and your task will be handed over to this Nangong girl. What, are you going or not leaving?"
The astonishment on Ping Ruoyu's face had been completely replaced by anger, and she trembled with anger, and said: "Uncle Xia, in your eyes, I am such an insignificant person? No matter which dog hole the mouse comes out of, you can replace it at will? What task do you have? That woman can do it, who said I can't do it? Just say come and hear it!"
It's not just that she feels that she has been underestimated, but if she were a different woman, maybe she wouldn't be so angry that she would even have a seizure in public. Just because the object is Nangong Xue, it is not only Li Yijie's bargaining chip that has to marry her, but also the person who her husband always remembers in his heart. For her, she doesn't even have the qualifications to be her replacement, but how can she not be annoyed.
squinted his eyes, and saw that Nangong Xue was always standing quietly aside, without powder, but with a dazzling and brilliant style, refreshing and clean. Although it is not as glamorous and beautiful as Shen Shiyun's stunning beauty, the impression left by people is more like a trickle, which makes people feel peaceful. Wearing an off-white gown, it looks inconspicuous at a glance, but it is even more white and simple, showing her beautiful and dusty, and a slight hint of melancholy temperament is just right in a light gray.
Her long hair hung softly over her shoulders, loosely draped, but it didn't look messy or artificial, and everything about her gave people a sense of "as it should be", as if she was an indisputable being.
She didn't care about how many people were arguing around, and she didn't care about what was waiting in front of her, it was the fate of a conspiracy. It is as if immersed in her unique artistic conception, the chaos of the outside world cannot disturb her heart, and there is always a quiet smile on her face. This unearthly beauty has highlighted her proud demeanor, as for the crown of heaven and man's brilliance.
Under such courage, Ping Ruoyu's provocative eyes thrown away viciously were like mud cows entering the sea. I feel that ignoring her like this is the highest contempt for myself, and fighting with her is in vain to humiliate herself. And purely based on the theory of martial arts, it is enough to conclude that she is a few steps lower than herself, so she is even more indignant.
Pointing at Nangong Xue, her arms trembled with anger, and said, "Isn't this cheap woman yet? She should have died a long time ago! Okay, then I'll kill your available materials first! When you have no way out, I don't mind picking up the rest of the waste for you! Nangong Xue, if you want to pretend to be a saint, you just pretend to be the end! If you have the ability to act like an ancestor cutting meat to feed the eagle, I want to stab you with a sword, don't hide it!"
As he spoke, he jumped up, and a sword slashed down on top of Nangong Xue's head. Halfway through, a dexterous turn, landed steadily, and the long sword circled in mid-air, stabbing her in the chest.
