Chapter 16 (19)

Zhen Ying stepped forward and further persuaded: "You can trust me, because we have the same purpose, and we don't want to see Shen Shiyun's power grow." Everyone is a fellow traveler, so we should work together. Duoduo glanced at her, his eyes full of contempt, as if he were just a pile of garbage, and sneered, "Fellow travelers? You are nothing more than eating her jealousy, obsessed with the pediatric tricks of competition and jealousy among women, how can you compare with the great plan and hegemony that this king has planned for many years?"

Zhenying hopes to win favor and obtain a higher title, but more is eager to be attached to the emperor and pursue the luxury of life, and the opponents in her eyes are only the concubines of the harem, and the scope is narrow. If she is allowed to be the empress or the supreme of martial arts, in charge of power, everyone in the world will be afraid to obey, but from then on, she will not be willing to take on the burden. If the behavior is the same but the purpose is different, it can also be regarded as "different ways do not conspire with each other". But she still didn't give up, thinking of Chu Menglin's occasional delicate little daughter, and her attitude was even more deferential when talking to Duoduo, thinking that women should resonate with each other, maybe it would be more convenient to pry her mouth open. went around to Chu Menglin's side and praised: "This girl...... No, this heroine must be the great hero who broke into the Yinxue Palace alone and assassinated Shen Shiyun? I have heard of your feat, and I have always longed to see you in person and express my admiration. Sure enough, it's better to hear than to see, I can't imagine that the woman is so young and beautiful......"

Chu Menglin shook her head and sighed: "It's good that you praise me, but this kind of insincere compliment doesn't sound very interesting, so it's better to avoid it as soon as possible." I am wearing a veil, and you can't look at me, how can you know if I am old or young, beautiful or ugly?"

Zhen Ying said in her heart: "Bad luck, the first sentence of the sycophant was slapped on the horse's feet, and I have to think of a way to make it 'round'." said: "The old and the young, the beautiful and the ugly, are all external conditions, and they are not accurate, what I really admire is the righteous deeds of the heroine." You disregard your personal safety and are in danger, and you are intent on eliminating harm for the people, which is really applauding, but it's a pity that I don't know martial arts, otherwise I must be like you, and I will do a lot. I can think of pretending to be a guard, I am really smart, the heroine is brave, wise and brave, and strong in martial arts......"

Chu Menglin didn't feel good when she heard it, and said angrily: "You might as well say that I am bold, brave and unscrupulous, and my martial arts are low, why bother with such hypocrisy, and talk back and be sarcastic? Pretending to be a guard is really a stupid method, stupid to the point of being home." Isn't it ridiculous to assassinate Shen Shiyun, but she didn't have anything to do, but instead caused herself to be seriously injured? As for the reason for the assassination, it is not as noble as you said, she loves to be authoritarian, so she will go with her, even if she becomes the second Wu Zetian in the future, what does it have to do with me? I am just not convinced, why are all men lost their souls as soon as they see her, and they are fighting and rushing to stand up for her, what good is she about?"

Zhen Ying was overjoyed, grabbed Chu Menglin's hands, her eyes lit up, and she said continuously: "Exactly, you are so right, it is simply a roundworm in my stomach...... No, I mean, you can tell all the thoughts in my heart, I can't get used to it for a long time, she seduced that Li He Alliance Leader, and dared to deceive the emperor, it's really shameless, it's just a stinky vixen. The Heroine is a Shadow Worship...... The master of the Shadow God Sect, your sect made the first contribution when the Qing army entered the customs, if it weren't for you, I don't think Tongguan would have been able to take it down at all, and the thieves would not be able to calm down so smoothly, even more remarkable than Wu Sangui, the chief soldier of the Shanhaiguan. But he later gave the king of Pingxi and guarded Yunnan, but the Guijiao gang was framed as a chaotic party and wanted by the world, which was all a good thing that Shen Shiyun had a personal vendetta for. Who has ever seen such an ungrateful and despicable villain who will tear down the bridge and kill the donkey after unloading the mill after crossing the river? Moreover, she also decreed that no bridges should be built on this river, and no donkeys should be used for transporting mills, which is really unreasonable! I am upset for you, and even ...... It's better for us to make a deal, I'll be the employer, and pay a lot of money to ask you to kill Shen Shiyun, and I'll be ashamed. At the same time, the humiliation that your religion has suffered can also be recovered with interest. ”

She was emotional, her voice was raised several times, thinking that Chu Menglin would not hesitate to risk her life, and her hatred for Shen Shiyun would not be less than herself, and now she was given this justifiable reason, and it was expected that she would be grateful and promise immediately. But seeing Chu Menglin lowered her head, without saying a word, her hand also slipped out of her palm, hanging down to her side, tightening her clothes, and using force to make her bones and joints protrude inch by inch. Zhen Ying didn't know that Chu Menglin had become a traitor, and she was burdened with a heavy burden because of this, whenever she heard someone mention the Shadow Sacrifice Sect, it was like a sharp knife cutting through her heart, how could she be able to fight her spirit?

Duoduo had been watching from the sidelines, wanting to see how many outrageous words these two women could say when they were like each other. Hearing Zhen Ying praise Chu Menglin, what she said, "If it weren't for you, Tongguan wouldn't have been able to be captured at all", he was the commander of the army at that time, and led the crowd to attack the city and capture the ground, and now after she said it, it seems that he can win, all with the help of the Shadow Sect, and he has no credit for it, and his heart is on fire. dragged Chu Menglin and said coldly: "Concubine Zhen, you have money and nowhere to spend, do you feel that it is in the way of staying by your side?" she will not kill for you, and the Shadow Sacrifice Sect is not a killer organization, please be smart if you are annoying." We still have big things to do, so we don't have to accompany them. Let's go!"

The last word was a strict order to Chu Menglin, and after speaking, regardless of her low mood, he pulled her and left. Zhen Ying asked, "What big things to do?" Seeing that the two of them were indifferent, they thought that it was useless to ask, so it was better to sell their favors, and shouted: "Don't worry, I won't say anything to anyone about you here!" As long as you can hear the word "thank you" from his mouth, it will not be in vain.

Duoduo stood still, looked sideways slightly, and said, "It doesn't matter, I advise you to keep quiet for your own good, don't put on a show of favor." Then he suddenly thought of an interesting idea, hooked the corners of his mouth, took out a folded square, palm-sized piece of paper from his sleeve, and said, "If you are really curious, you can go and study this wordless book first." With two fingers and a horizontal finger, the piece of paper flew towards Zhen Yingpingping.

Zhen Ying hurriedly stretched out her hand to catch it, and carefully unfolded it layer by layer, the paper tentacles were extremely thin, pinched heavily for fear of breaking, and pinched lightly for fear of being blown away by the wind. Finally, I took it steadily, and looked at the top of the paper full of messy dots, and the lower end was some crooked lines, and the traces were faint, just like the handwriting engraved on the mountain stone, which had been beaten by the wind and rain for many years, and gradually faded. There were several white streaks of varying lengths, similar to those left behind by the tape removed from the pages. Regardless of how these effects can be produced on the paper, the dots and lines visible in the eyes alone can already see the head swelling in a circle, and I don't understand the meaning at all. Xin said: "The prince who dares to love me is to entertain me." ”

I just wanted to crumple the paper into a ball, but then I thought again: "The prince has a cold mouth and a cold face, how can he be idle to draw this kind of picture to trick me? It is 'there must be a deep meaning', of course, it is not something that ordinary people can understand, otherwise what kind of secret will it be?" If she wants to find out, she has to listen to my investigation, and then I will make some flashy suggestions on the sidelines, but in fact, it is up to her to analyze independently. If she solves the riddle, doesn't it mean that I have solved the riddle?" But in this way, it is equivalent to admitting that Shen Shiyun Huigen is unique and better than herself, but it is absolutely intolerable, and I found an idea and secretly relieved: "What is written on the paper is all animal script, and humans can't understand it, so I have to ask the animal to interpret it." ”

So he returned to the Yinxue Palace, first probed his brain in the hall, confirmed that Fu Lin was no longer in the hall, and then tiptoed close to the inner room, and was about to lift the curtain to enter, when he heard someone in the room whispering, the voice was high-pitched, it was the voice of the little eunuch, and it sounded more than one person. This time, it was rare that there was no crankiness, and his hand was raised in the air, so he put it on the door frame and listened attentively.

The first person said: "Concubine Yun is like a god, and the servants waited for many days, and finally waited until the prince couldn't hold his breath and left the palace, but there was no one around him to follow." Another person said: "You are not right, the prince is acting in an orderly manner in the palace, and it is by no means a sign of being unable to hold his breath, but he is waiting for the most meaningful agenda, so he can act." Do you know what special days there are in the near months?"

Shen Shiyun said coldly: "On the same day, different people have their own unique and deep meanings, what is the use of random guessing if they are not based on the truth?" Another said: "It is a God-given opportunity for the prince to go out, and the slaves want to grasp it firmly, everyone takes the opportunity to sneak into the mansion, look for clues separately, and if you are lucky, you can find out the assassin." But the princess stopped me, saying that the mother only ordered us to keep an eye on the prince's tip, and did not allow us to make assertions, in case the guards held it, it would be a failure, and our identities would be exposed. ”

Shen Shiyun said: "You know how to be improvised, flexible enough, the prince is safe, and it is always good to be thoughtful." What happened?"

The man said angrily: "The slave said, 'Niang Niang treats us like a mountain, and is ordered to do things, and I Zhang will never give up.' Princess, you are greedy for life and afraid of death, even if you stay outside the palace, I will not stop you. But with the credit, don't ask me to share it with you. The prince said, 'No, everyone is a grasshopper on a thread, and everyone loses everything.' If you are caught alone, it will inevitably affect everyone, and we don't want to accompany you to be punished. The slave insisted on going, but the prince resolutely refused to allow it. The servant was furious, and pushed him, shouting, 'Get out of the way', and he also pushed me, shouting: 'Don't let me', no one will obey anyone, and just like that, he started to move......"

Even Zhen Ying was angry and funny when she heard it, and said in her heart: "Although Shen Shiyun is smart, he has raised a group of stupid minions, but he is really stupid. Imagining Shen Shiyun's crooked eyebrows, he listened to her again: "You are all loyal, this palace will take care of itself." But I didn't send you to the palace to fight, and I don't need to report in detail what moves you used when you started and what the victory or defeat was. You only focus on competing for superiority, and in the end you get nothing?" came a few low mutters, presumably the two eunuchs were ashamed.

Suddenly, a woman's voice laughed: "These guys are stupid minions who have not achieved enough things and have more than enough failures, and at the critical moment, only this girl can be reliable." Shen Shiyun said: "Yes, Luo Jin, in the end, this palace is still the most at ease with you." Listening to your tone, I think I have discovered something?"

Luo Jin said triumphantly: "That's natural, I follow your instructions, first persuade the emperor to go to the imperial garden to visit, and then think that some people have been ambushed outside Prince Yu's mansion for many days, and go to see the excitement on a whim." As soon as I arrived nearby, I saw the two fathers-in-law fighting, and asked what happened, I think the middleman can't do it, it's not good, it's not a person inside and out, and it's better to try your luck while they're fighting. After searching around the palace, I finally slipped into the study and saw a stack of white paper on the table, but the paper was empty. After looking around the room for a long time, I finally noticed something unusual and found that the prince's bookshelf was full of books......"

The father-in-law said sourly: "The little girl who has never seen the world is making a fuss." The prince is erudite and talented, what's wrong with the study full of books? If you don't learn and don't know how to learn, doesn't the prince also read? If there are no books on the shelves, then it's really a bit strange. ”

Shen Shiyun hurriedly said: "Don't pay attention to the two wastes, go on." ”
