Chapter 989: Denial
Fang Wen had sworn to the Dragon King that he had no feeling for the queen, but when he walked towards the small courtyard, he still couldn't control his nervousness, and his mind was turning over and over again thinking about what kind of demeanor he would have to face the queen in the future, and he even imagined which foot would step in first.
The facts showed that his nervousness was completely superfluous, and the queen did not see him at all, and it was all Xu Yanwei who sent messages back and forth.
When the queen was writing a letter, Xu Yanwei stood in the small courtyard and looked at Fang Wens, "How did you do it?"
"Huh?" Fang Wen was just relieved, and a little disappointed, so he didn't understand what she meant.
Xu Yanwei circled around him, "Tsk, you are really a wine bag and rice bag, if you say fat, you will be fat, if you say thin, you will be thin, don't the people of Beiting eat meat every day? Why are you still so thin?"
Compared with Xu Yanwei's real surname, Fang Wen prefers that pitiful false face, thinking that at the beginning, he was moved by this face, so he lost his footing and regrets it to this day.
"Uh...... Hmm......" Fang Wen was just thinking about how to face the queen, completely ignoring Xu Yanwei, looking a little flustered, "I'm in a hurry to ......"
Xu Yan sneered slightly, approached Fang Wenshi, and whispered affectionately: "I'll let the kitchen cook something delicious tonight and send it to your room in person." ”
"Huh?" Fang Wen was caught off guard, his usual sharp teeth and scheming were all useless, and he couldn't think of an excuse to refuse for a long time.
The maid in the house said, "The queen's letter is ready." ”
Xu Yanwei entered the house to get the letter, came back and handed it to Fang Wensi, smiled ambiguously at him, and increased a few points**, "I prefer your thin appearance." ”
Fang Wen couldn't help but smile, and suddenly forgot the word rejection.
When he walked out of the courtyard with the letter in his hands, he regretted it again, this letter was written by Queen Ju and sealed by himself, as if she still had her body temperature and taste, just thinking about it, Fang Wen felt his hands trembling and sweating, and he felt ashamed of the Dragon King, and at the same time, Xu Yanwei also looked mediocre.
In the small cross courtyard, Xu Yanwei closed the door and began to regret it, thinking that he hadn't touched a man for too long, but the other party shook his head and rekindled the old feelings, there are so many big snow mountain swordsmen in the Protector's Mansion, which one is not better than him.
So the two people who went against each other, one decided to refuse that night, and the other decided not to go to the appointment.
Back in the study, the Dragon King had already written a letter to the lotus girl, Fang Wen put it away together, and went out of the house with Zhang Ji to Xiaoyue Hall.
Along the way, the two threw away their disguises, and no one cared about anyone, Fang Wen selected twelve guards, just two more than Zhang Ji, ** controlled the mount, and ensured that he exceeded the other party by one horse.
Zhang Ji seemed to have forgotten the Dragon King's military advisor cleanly, sitting on the saddle and shaking naturally, looking pensive and meditative.
Xiaoyuetang has set up a fixed base in the eastern part of Nancheng, next to a swordsman village, there are many rumors about crazy **, and the swordsmen would rather take a detour in and out of the village than get close to the house, so the street is extremely deserted.
The two male ** left by the wild horses guarded the door, staring at the guests coldly, neither going in to report or asking the reason.
Everyone dismounted, and Fang Wen stepped forward and said: "In the lower dragon king's military division, Fang Wen is, this is the Tianshan Sect Sect, and I want to see the imperial master if I have something, please report it." ”
"Nope. One of the gatekeepers spat out two words as if that were already a huge concession.
Fang Wen was stunned on the spot, turned his head to look at Zhang Ji, shook his head with a wry smile, took out the letter of the Dragon King, and said, "Can you send the letter of the Dragon King to the Imperial Master?" Let her decide whether to see or not. ”
The gatekeeper didn't read the letter, but just stared at Fang Wenshi, his eyes were full of vigilance, and it took a while for someone to reach out and take the letter, as if it was stained with poison, "Wait." "Say goodbye and go to the hospital.
Fang Wen glanced at Zhang Ji again, thinking that Xiaoyue Hall was really an evil sect, no wonder Zhang Ji had the cheekiness to ask the Dragon King for help, if not, he was afraid that he would only have to fight a big battle before entering the hospital.
There was a sudden slight twitch behind him, Fang Wen turned around to check, and found that the guards were all very nervous, pressing their weapons with their hands, and they were going to fight at any time.
A little farther away, more than a dozen Xiaoyuetang men and women** stood on both sides of the street, and there seemed to be people hiding on the roof, faintly surrounded by seekers.
Zhang Ji waved his hand, and the swordsman of the Tianshan Sect let go of the handle of the knife, but his expression was still vigilant.
Fang Wenshi also smiled and waved his hand, "Don't worry, Xiaoyue Hall and the Dragon King are not enemies. Having said that, he didn't know the bottom in his heart, but he didn't want to show his cowardice in front of Zhang Ji.
The Dutch girl's response was quick and direct, and she directly sent Shangguan Hong out.
Shangguan Hong's face was gloomy, standing on the steps, looking at Zhang Ji coldly and arrogantly, as if he wanted to kill this teacher with his gaze.
Zhang Ji let out a short sneer, "You've been messing around the rivers and lakes for so long, and you still can't hide even a little bit of your thoughts." ”
Shangguan Hong's face was slightly red, and he repeatedly forbeared, and turned to Fang Wensi, "What's the matter with me?"
Fang Wen blamed Zhang Ji for the other party's unkind tone, and took out another letter, which he was really reluctant to hand over, "The letter from the queen to you." ”
Shangguan Hong was stunned for a moment and did not answer the letter, "I am Xiaoyuetang**, I only recognize the imperial teachers, not the queen." ”
"Even if you don't admit it, it's okay to take a look. ”
Shangguan Hong hesitated for a while before taking the letter, read it after two or three eyes, and tore it into pieces casually, "If you have something to say, just say it, the imperial master ordered me to tell the truth, and I don't need other people's letters." ”
Seeing the paper fragments being blown away by the wind, Fang Wen was heartbroken and didn't dare to show it, so he had to cover it up with laughter, "That's great, Mr. Zhang, please ask first." ”
Xiaoyuetang didn't seem to invite guests in, and the questioning was carried out at the gate, Zhang Ji coughed, and said in his unique teaching tone: "Shangguan Hong, ...... the night before yesterday"
Shangguan Hong was anxious to dispel Zhang Ji's arrogance, and said hatefully: "I wanted to kill you the night before yesterday, but unfortunately I didn't seize the opportunity. ”
"There is a chance. Zhang Ji said lightly, "Are you just trying to kill me?"
Shangguan Hong stared at Zhang Ji stubbornly, as if he felt that now was an opportunity, but he didn't make a move after all, "There's no need to beat around the bush, I know what you want to ask, Fang Shuyi didn't kill him, his death has nothing to do with me, that's it." ”
Shangguan Hong turned around and was just about to leave, when Zhang Ji's question had already been spoken, "But you know who the assassin is." ”
"What do you know? What if you don't know?" Shangguan Hong couldn't hide his hatred for Zhang Ji, and Mr. Jiaoshu was the initiator of all his tragic experiences.
Fang Wen was very willing to see Zhang Ji embarrassed, but finding out the truth was a more important task, so he looked at it for a while and interjected: "The Dragon King doesn't think that this assassination is related to Xiaoyue Hall, I believe he made it very clear in his letter to the Imperial Master, Hong Gongzi was a witness that night, we just want to know a little clue." ”
Shangguan Hong lowered his head, looked at the remaining fragments on the ground, looked up and said, "I didn't see the assassination, but I know who did it." ”
"Who is it?" Fang Wen didn't expect the unsolved case to be solved so easily.
"Him. ”
"He, who is he?"
"On the night of the assassination of the Central Plains envoy, the person who attacked me and stabbed me with a sword. Shangguan Hong touched the scar, the sword almost killed him, "It must be him, the technique is exactly the same." I don't know anything else, whether it's a man or a woman, whether it's old or young, don't ask me. ”
Shangguan Hong turned to Zhang Ji again, "I swear to heaven that sooner or later I will kill you." ”
"Waiting for you at any time. Zhang Ji bowed slightly, "Killing the master is the tradition of the stone castle, and I am willing to follow the footsteps of my ancestors." ”
Shangguan Hong turned around and entered the courtyard, and the two gatekeepers did not give an inch.
The group got on their horses and left under the watchful eyes of the ** people of Xiaoyue Hall.
In the Protector's Mansion, Gu Shenwei's conversation with Chu Nanping was equally blunt.
Chu Nanping not only became ruthless, but also a little more arrogant, although he bowed to the dragon king as usual, he has been standing with his head held high since then, holding the scabbard in his left hand, and his right hand naturally drooping, as if since last night, he has not been freed from the state of preparation.
"You left the Protector's Mansion the night before. ”
"Hmm. ”
"You went to Golden Nest Lane. ”
"Hmm. Chu Nanping replied with some hesitation.
"What are you going to do?"
Chu Nanping** was tightly closed, and the demeanor of being ready to draw his sword at any time became more obvious, "That's my own business." ”
"The swordsman of the Tianshan Sect died in Jinwo Lane, and Zhang Ji thought that it was an ambush set up by you and Shangguan Hong. ”
Chu Nanping didn't even say a word to refute, just shook his head.
"I know it's not you who killed, and I know what you're doing in Jinwo Lane. ”
A heavy murderous aura swept across Chu Nanping's face, "You sent someone to follow me?"
"No need, even the Tianshan Sect has arranged spies in Jinwo Lane, let alone me? But for you, I only need to guess, and I don't need others to provide information. ”
Chu Nanping refused to speak again.
"You want to use other women to forget Tie Linglong. ”
Chu Nanping blushed, both ashamed and angry, and repeated: "That's my own business. ”
Gu Shenwei didn't think so, "You entered the three ** hospitals, and each time you stayed for a short time, so I guess you didn't do anything." ”
Chu Nanping's face turned even redder, he chose Jinwo Lane because he heard that it was relatively hidden, and there were many guests, **They never asked about the east and west, but he couldn't do it, every time**As soon as he caught up, he fled, his heart was full of disgust and contempt for himself, as if Tie Linglong was standing by his side and watching him.
"You have put too many constraints on yourself, and you can't even cut the simplest one, how can you be a profound swordsman?" Gu Shenwei said, and his heart was even more vigilant than Chu Nanping.
Chu Nanping's five fingers of his right hand moved, but he didn't draw his sword, but turned around and left without saying a word.
Gu Shenwei wondered if his stimulation was too urgent, Chu Nanping's heart was still as pure as when he was a teenager, and it was a very cruel act to force him to mature.
But this is an inevitable thing, and Chu Nanping, who is in a juvenile state, will never figure out what he wants.
Zhang Ji and Fang Wen are back, and both of them don't believe much in Shangguan Hong, but they unanimously come to the same conclusion: there is a top master hidden in Biyu City, who did not participate in the city lord competition, but wanted to destroy it.
