Chapter 31: Which Assassin?
Sima Bai's father was Sima Guang, the prime minister of the dynasty, who had been removed from his official position, but because the Empress Dowager Gao appreciated him, he was reused and worshiped as the prime minister. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info So Sima Bai is not good at interfering in the contradictions between the emperor and the empress dowager, and silently maintains neutrality on one side.
After a long time, Zhao Xu said: "Ximenqing should be fine, he has not stolen any secrets from the palace several times, if he is a spy and you fight that time, knowing that you are a high-ranking official of the forbidden army, he will definitely try to kill you." ”
This sentence left Sima Bai speechless. That's right! If he had come to the palace to plot evil and harbor evil intentions, why would he have to save himself when he was in danger just now? If he was killed by a strong man in black, and he did not have any suspicion, wouldn't he kill two birds with one stone?
"Hahaha!" At this time, Ximenqing came out of the side hall, and just heard Zhao Xu's words of trust in him, so he didn't feel like he laughed out loud, and touched the sore spot in his chest again, and then said: "Thank you for trusting the grass people! Unlike someone, who spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." The villain naturally refers to Sima Bai, from the first acquaintance two months ago to the present, the two have always been on the wrong path.
"Who do you say is the villain!" Sima Bai immediately stood up, he was Zhao Xu's master in private, and Zhao Xu was very tired of that set of red tape, so when there were no outsiders, he did not restrain his anger, and he was furious at Ximen Qing on the spot.
Zhao Xu became a peacemaker with a headache and mediated the war between the two, otherwise he would not have to stop at night, and he still had important things to ask Ximenqing.
I only heard Zhao Xu say, "Brother Simon, are you better injured?"
Ximenqing hurriedly got up and said, "Thank you for the emperor's love, a little injury is fine." ”
"Can you speak well? I remember that you didn't speak so plainly before!" Zhao Xu was a little unhappy, and his tone returned to the kind of uninhibited when several people drank two months ago.
"Whew!" Ximen Qing also exhaled, pulled the wound, grinned his teeth, and said, "I said it earlier, I don't feel comfortable with a straight face." After that, he also crossed Erlang's legs.
Zhao Xu knew Ximenqing's profligate nature, and when he saw him so unrestrained, he laughed out loud, completely lacking the seriousness and majesty that an emperor should have. And Sima Bai next to him twitched the corners of his mouth, these two people, the king is not like the king, and the minister is not like the minister!
At this time, Ximenqing had the head and waist card, and he could be regarded as a great Song courtier.
The two laughed at each other, Zhao Xu was in a good mood, swept away his previous depressed mood, and got back to business, "Brother Simon, what do you think of these assassins?"
When Ximenqing heard that he had resumed the title of brother and brother when the two of them were drinking, he was secretly proud in his heart: I admire myself, and I can call the emperor a brother and brother! But when I saw Sima Bai's disdainful eyes, I was shocked: "Horse! No! Sima Bai is the master of Emperor Zhao Xu, am I not a generation shorter than him?"
His mood suddenly turned from sunny to cloudy, but he was still reluctantly happy, and said: "Brother Zhao's question is just to the point, and I can clearly tell Brother Zhao that these assassins are not sent by Western Xia." The 'Sorrowful Crisp Breeze' in my hand was obtained from Western Xia, and Brother Zhao and Brother Sima should have seen its power. If these horses were sent by Western Xia, why didn't they use the 'Sorrowful Breeze' when they were surrounded by the forbidden army to weaken our combat strength so that they could take the opportunity to escape?"
Ximenqing swallowed and foamed, and now felt dry due to internal injuries. He finally came to the conclusion: "So, theoretically speaking, it will not be the work of Western Xia." ”
"Who will send it?" Sima Bai also agreed with Ximenqing's statement, Zhao Xu had already analyzed it just now, and Ximenqing saved himself, there was no need to lie about this matter.
"Aren't the enemies of the Great Song Dynasty now the Western Xia and the Great Liao?" asked Ximen Qing rhetorically.
"So, it wasn't the Western Xia who did it, these assassins must have been sent by the Great Liao!" Sima Bai suddenly realized and said: "The Great General of the Western Xia Expedition to the East, Helian Enke, has sent an envoy to our country, and the Great Liao will definitely not be happy to see us form an alliance, so he made this decision to stir up the agreement we have reached or will reach!"
......
Lying on the bed, covered with a gentle and gorgeous quilt, feeling the smooth and delicate gold silk satin, as well as the warmth and softness of the fine cotton wool, smelling the good fragrance of the sun, as if holding a girl in your arms~
Ximenqing smiled bitterly at himself for having this illusion, he thought about spring!
From being reborn in Yanggu County to the present, Ximen Qing has been busy and busy, he is at the age of blood and strength, how can there be no need for this?
He now misses his wives and concubines a little. I knew that it was good to leave Wu Yueniang, the stepfamily, and she was the last to leave Ximen Mansion, which shows that she still has some feelings for the previous Ximen Qing. But she finally left, and Ximenqing warned herself in her heart that it was not her own forcible request!
Now that the body is injured and the internal organs are damaged, doing that spring night is not beneficial to recuperating from the injury, so I can't think about it anymore. Ximen Qingsui silently thought in his heart: It is important to recuperate from injuries!
Ximenqing hurriedly cleaned up his mood and thought about several important matters to be solved at present: first, he reminded Emperor Zhao Xu and beware of the envoy team of Helenenko in Xixia.
The second is to practice martial arts diligently and understand the essence of 'Lingbo Weibu', but pay attention to its use, because every time you walk this footwork, the internal force will imperceptibly run in accordance with the cultivation method of the Northern Shengong, which is what Ximenqing does not want to see. In addition, seeing Sima Bai and the strong man in black face each other, his internal strength was fully opened, and his majestic momentum left a deep impression on Ximenqing. Ximen Qing therefore made up his mind to improve his martial arts cultivation, and also gave up his plan to fight Sima Bai again, he was not his opponent at all!
The third is to find a good day and act a few more times at night. I don't have much money on my body, of course, I have to ask those corrupt officials for some flowers. And there is no shortage of such officials and wealthy businessmen in Bianliang City.
Thinking about this, when the sky was bright, Ximenqing finally entered the dreamland.
The sun rose high, and it was not until the west in the afternoon that Ximenqing woke up in a daze, and was awakened by hunger, and at this time Ximenqing's stomach was 'gurgling' in protest.
Stroking the lower belly, only stomach acid was left in it, Ximenqing smiled bitterly and got up to dress. The palace maid outside the room waited, and when she saw him get up, she hurriedly fetched water and prepared food for him, and looked at his handsome face from time to time. Whenever Ximenqing noticed their gaze, they ran away with red cheeks and shyness.
However, it was Ximen Qing's deeds of defeating the assassins last night, forcibly killing Hei Er, and helping Sima Bai to fight against the strong man in black, which spread to every corner of the palace. Now the palace maids and eunuchs in every corridor and attic, and even the forbidden soldiers guarding it, are talking about this matter.
These palace maids were sent to serve Ximenqing to live and eat, they were in their twenty-eighth years, their curiosity was the heaviest, and of course they were also full of admiration for Ximenqing.
