Chapter 38 (30)
Li Yijie hung his head and was silent, and his mind was just circling the scenes after entering the palace. was repeatedly rejected by the ministers, only Shunzhi treated him like a sibling, and it was precisely because of this appreciation that his life in the palace would not be too sad. There is nothing saddest in life than being betrayed by someone close to your loved ones. But it was planned by Shen Shiyun, it was his beloved concubine who had been pampered for many years, first injured him to the point of exhaustion, and then made up for this knife himself, can he still be regarded as a human being?
Shen Shiyun saw him hesitating, and said, "You might as well change your mind." Today's saint never likes to chase fame and fortune, but is pressed by power, and he is deeply distressed, and you have heard him talk about it himself. If you can help him get out of the whirlpool of power and live in peace, or go to a beautiful place to enjoy the mountains and rivers according to his wishes, which is exactly what he wants, why do you need to pretend to be a savior and stir up trouble? Do you think he will thank you?
Li Yijie listened to what Shen Shiyun said and had the heart to refute it, but if he thought about it carefully, it was not unreasonable. Everyone has different interests, the throne is heavy, and it is indeed not everyone's favor, Shunzhi has long wanted to get rid of the shackles of the outside, so he can't help with good intentions. raised his head and looked directly at Shen Shiyun, and said, "Okay, if Concubine Yun can keep her promise, I can spare no effort to help you." But you also have to promise me that after the deed is completed, no matter whether it is successful or not, you will not touch a single hair of Cher. That's my condition. ”
Shen Shiyun was noncommittal, and said lightly: "This palace can promise you that the abolished emperor can enjoy the blessings of Qingfu." As for the other thing, wait until you win the bet. Li Yijie's heart was half cold, and when he heard Shen Shiyun's tone, he didn't take his plea seriously.
Shangguan Yaohua's arm pressed on the table trembled slightly, and he sneered: "Master Li is a benevolent gentleman, why do you have to force him......?" Ping Ruoyu stood up, leaned close to him, and said in a volume that only the two of them could hear: "Have you said enough? From the moment the woman entered the room, your eyes were fixed on where it was, don't think I don't know. I didn't say it explicitly, but it was just to give you face. ”
Shangguan Yaohua glanced at Ping Ruoyu, but still threw out the second half of the sentence, and said coldly: "I will take this bet on behalf of Li Mengzhu." When the time comes, I will personally present the emperor's head, will I be considered the greatest merit? Then I will ...... I want all the demons and demons to be sentenced to death! Hey, if you are willing to gamble, you will have to admit defeat, even if you are still full of combat strength, since you have a word first, you have to restrain me, do you dare to agree?"
This sentence is also resounding. If Jiang Yanchen should not, then the matter of dealing with Nangong Xue that he mentioned earlier will also be dismissed. But if he agrees, this matter is not purely a contest of martial arts, which side has more merit will be decided by Shen Shiyun.
She had a blood feud with herself, and with her heart, she would not stop there. Besides, this woman is not a model of impartial law enforcement, when she is in control, she can kill a person with mediocre martial arts at any time, but the Demon Sect is her confidant, can take this opportunity to deceive the Demon Sect to defeat without a fight, and is willing to kill, isn't it really satisfying for her?
Li Yijie listened to Shangguan Yaohua's words, although he was a little excited, but he was more afraid of his claim to kill the king, and hurriedly said: "Yaohua, this is ...... You...... Don't ......"
Shangguan Yaohua said disdainfully: "Do you think I'm here to save you? Wrong, if the demon sect doesn't get rid of the thieves for a day, I can't even sleep and dream! They have harmed more than ten members of my family, and this account must be settled." You Li Yijie, even your own ...... My own 'wife' is not well protected, and what qualifications do you have to be pretentious, to uphold justice and do chivalrous justice outside? You don't deserve to interfere with me at all. ”
Li Yijie was stunned when he heard this, and Shangguan Yaohua had already turned to Jiang Yanchen again, and said, "Answer a word, what are you doing so slowly? The Demon Sect Leader is so cowardly, he doesn't even have the courage to gamble with me?"
Jiang Yanchen didn't know whether to provoke him with a word, or if he had other plans in his heart, he was silent for a long time, and before he could answer, an old man with gray hair next to him suddenly shouted: "Who is it?" A "seven-step heart-breaking dart" in his hand was suddenly thrown outward. Most of the people paid attention to the gambling dispute at the table, and they were all taken aback when they heard the change. In surprise, I saw that the door curtain was shot out, and a black shadow flashed outside at the same time.
This moment is too short, no matter how high the cultivation is, there is only a flower in front of him, and he just recognized that it was a figure, but he didn't even see his physiognomy, men, women and children.
These people were not slow to react, and shot out the hidden weapons one after another. Either they hit the wall or fell to the ground, but none of them could hit the other person, and in the blink of an eye, the man was gone. The speed was extremely fast, and the curtain nailed a few steel needles to the wall, and the lower end swayed itself, but it seemed that the scene was not true, and it was nothing more than dazzling everyone.
Everyone in the room stood up together, and Shen Shiyun shouted: "I don't care whether he is a passer-by or a spy sent by his opponent, if he is stabbed out of his words, and another political enemy instigates the emperor to take the first step, none of us in this group of people will have good fruit to eat! Why don't you send someone to the palace to chase him, and kill him as soon as possible, so as to avoid future trouble?"
Li Yijie looked at her figure in a daze, only to feel that his Yun'er had long been missing, and what was wrapped under this golden suit was just a cruel and vicious femme fatale whose name was unknown. Seeing her running and commanding, her face was gloomy, and except for a little panic on her face that she pretended to deceive everyone, she only took it for granted. Or she has done a lot of murderous things, and she has long seen human life as thin as paper.
Dolgon has been in a high position for many years, and although he was inevitably shocked at first, he calmed down much earlier than others, and said in a deep voice: "Slow, the Forbidden City is so big, I have to send people to find a thief in every corner, but I am afraid that I will not be able to find it even if it is dark." At that time, he had enough time to escape, and the matter was not good. Shen Shiyun saw that he was not in a hurry, obviously he had already made a bamboo in his chest, but he deliberately delayed not to say anything, although he was annoyed, he had to follow his wishes, and said politely: "But I don't know what to do according to the prince's opinion?"
Dolgon said: "As far as this king knows, this Yinxue Palace was originally an idle palace in the imperial city, and it is far away from the main palace. The thief had just left this place, but in an instant, even if he wanted to run, he would not be able to escape far. There is no avoidability nearby, we can send a few soldiers to search the palace on the left side one by one. to the master...... Assassins have slipped into the palace, and we are searching for them on the orders of the emperor. At that time, even if the little emperor heard about it, he couldn't be suspicious. As long as they are interrogated in detail, it is natural to know at a glance whether they are thieves and harbor fugitives. ”
This time, there was another dispute, and people with strong martial arts preferred to be alone and refused to cooperate with others. And all the princes were reluctant to stay with the other party's soldiers, lest they give him an opportunity to take advantage of it, which would be detrimental to themselves. And if you want one person to lead your own army, others can't rest assured.
Shen Shiyun said: "The words are good, but I am afraid that the thief dares to be presumptuous in the palace, and his martial arts are not weak." Looking for a few low-level pawns, you can't deal with him. How about simply dividing the soldiers into several routes, mixing forces, and supporting each other?"
The proposal seemed to be safe, but the meaning was very clear, she could not believe the princes at the table, and suspected that one of them had provoked the matter, and led everyone in the room to tell the conspiracy, and outside the door there was another person who wanted to use the conversation as the highest information, and sell it to the emperor and give herself a way. If any of his officials heard about it, they would have made it easier for him.
Everyone thought of this possibility, but no one dared to question it out loud, and the timing was not right at this moment, and it was inevitable that people would be regarded as being a thief. In the end, it was determined to be arbitrarily organized, and it did not follow the order of the army. As a result, the soldiers and generals are not familiar with each other, lack tacit understanding, and their combat strength has weakened a lot out of thin air. Fortunately, there is no need to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy at the moment, but to hunt down a thief who can escape faster than a rabbit, and there is no need for the army to be strong.
Li Yijie pulled Nangong Xue, and before he could turn around, Shen Shiyun suddenly said: "Master Li, this palace is also with you." Your martial arts are strong, and you can get your personal protection, so you can rest assured. ”
Li Yijie smiled bitterly to himself, he was no longer the foolish ghost who obeyed Shen Shiyun back then. Knowing that it was impossible for Shen Shiyun to trust him, it was precisely because he was most suspicious of him that he had to monitor him personally.
If this happened a few years ago, it might have been able to make him remember it for a long time, but now that the situation has changed, his love for Shen Shiyun has long turned into alienation. But in his heart, I am afraid that there is also a little hope that the man will be killed. The mouth of the living is always uncontrollable, and he has always regarded Shunzhi as a brother, letting him know that even he betrayed him, and fell into the well when he lost power, and he didn't know how sad he was.
He has always attached the most importance to the opinions of others, but even if he was viciously scolded, he was only a little scared in his heart. But the deep despair in the other party's eyes after being betrayed by his most trusted friend, the coldness that signaled the severance of Eun, was the deepest fear that made him bear the most. Even if this scene will happen sooner or later, I hope that it will come back later.
Shangguan Yaohua received the order, and rushed out almost on the spot, throwing off the accompanying soldiers. Ping Ruoyu followed closely all the way and persevered.
Shangguan Yaohua chose a small path to walk, one moment around the mud pool, and the other through the rugged dirt slope. Every time he turned his head slightly, he could always see Ping Ruoyu following him, and the more well-behaved the expression on his face, it could only make him more annoyed, as if he could not get rid of this burden if he fled to the heavens and the earth. And Ping Ruoyu borrowed the name of his wife, and was even more fearless, seeing him stop, he also said that he was considerate of himself, and he was even more pleased.
At this time, Shangguan Yaohua didn't know where to look, so he acquiesced to this disturbing sparrow by his side for the time being. The pavilions and pavilions in the palace, such a rambling rampage, did not take long to walk dizzily, and could not tell the way. Ping Ruoyu suddenly exclaimed and pulled him to run a few steps. Because of a heavy rain a few days ago, and several cloudy days in a row, a puddle of water accumulated on the ground, and it has not dried up yet.
Shangguan Yaohua shook her away, and said impatiently: "What are you fussing about? What's so good about here?" Following Ping Ruoyu's guidance, he saw that the surface of the pool, which was originally as horizontal as a mirror, was now shaking slightly, and two drops of water splashed on the side, leaving a wet mark on the land.
Shangguan Yaohua was quite unimpressed, and snorted coldly: "Women have long hair and short knowledge, and they will only be interested in some children's things. If you're not enough, then keep watching alone, or we won't have time to delay. ”
Ping Ruoyu said with a smile: "Husband, we are so lucky, eighty percent of us have found the right one." I heard that no matter how high the martial arts people are, they are just floating on the water and stepping on the snow without a trace. But no one can cross the water, and it does not stir up the slightest ripple. Judging from the shaking of the water, it is obvious that the man has not been gone for a long time, and the few drops of water next to him are just for him to step on and splash out. As she spoke, she stared straight at him, anxious to hear his affirmation.
