Chapter 14 Retreat as Advance

When Xie Yang woke up, it was already late at night, he was lying in the courtyard of the Shu Palace, his whole body was extremely sore, and his right rib was even more painful. Xie Yang looked around, a long candle was lit on the table in the room, and Song Wenyuan was sitting at the table drinking.

Xie Yang felt dry and hungry, and said in a weak voice, "Big brother." ”

Song Wenyuan said, "You woke up quickly, the knife wounded two inches, I thought you would wake up at the earliest, an hour faster than I expected, haha, I'll ask someone to get you something to eat." ”

Xie Yang simply ate some porridge, and Song Wenyuan said, "Tell me about your attack! With your skills, there are not many people who can hurt you in Chengdu, and even I am not sure." ”

Xie Yang told the story of the attack. Song Wenyuan was really taken aback, and said, "What you are looking at is a child, in fact, an adult, the person who came should be from Guizhou Tongzimen, Tongzimen is short in stature, good at assassination, and it is very easy to disguise himself as a child, which catches people off guard, my brother is on their way this time, who will kill you!"

Xie Yang slowly recalled the entire assassination process, and it was expected that he was very precise about his walking route, and it was impossible for someone to follow him without being noticed by him.

Song Wenyuan said, "No matter what, brother, you have suffered a serious knife wound, fortunately it did not hurt your lungs, but I am afraid that you will have to lie in bed for a few days, from today on, the eldest brother will send several masters in the clan to protect you, and you can't make any mistakes before you recover."

The news of Xie Yang's attack quickly spread all over Chengdu, and on the occasion of the great day of the Song Dynasty, who would be so faceless and have to make an accident.

The next day, Xie Yang slept for a long time, mainly because of excessive blood loss and too snooze, and just when he got up, Song Kui, the king of Shu, arrived.

Xie Yang hurriedly got up and saluted, and Song Kui said, "The kid is injured, so there is no need to be polite! Tell me, I was injured in this attack, do you know who did it!"

Xie Yang shook his head and said that he didn't know, Song Kui said, "It doesn't matter who it is, the important thing is to recover as soon as possible, when Wenyuan's major event is completed, the old man will definitely avenge you, I have brought the best healing medicine, and now I will order someone to change the medicine for you." ”

Xie Yang did not refuse, after all, the medicine that King Shu took out must be different. After Song Kui left, the doorman came to report that Miss Hong Shan had arrived.

At first hearing that Hong Shan was coming, Xie Yang suddenly felt a lot more comfortable in his heart, Hong Shan stepped back, and Shi Shiran sat in front of the bed.

Xie Yang said, "You came to see me so blatantly, aren't you afraid that others will know and gossip?"

Hong Shan said, "Now the whole city is spreading about your attack, and it is very terrifying, saying that you have been disemboweled, and your intestines are left in the ground, Shan'er must see you, and there is so much to worry about."

Xie Yang's hand gently caressed her face, her heart was full of happiness, and she said, "Aren't I alive and well? Shan'er don't worry." ”

Hong Shan said, "Let me see your wounds", without waiting for Xie Yang to refuse, he slowly untied his clothes, revealing Xie Yang's broad chest, and a trace of blush touched her cheeks, Hong Shan continued to untie down, and the right rib wrapped in a white cloth appeared, the wound was not very large, but the area of the package was huge, and the blood stains penetrated the white cloth, and Hong Shan cried in fright.

Xie Yang wiped away Hong Shan's tears and said, "Aren't I good? To be honest, it doesn't hurt at all."

Hong Shan said, "Shan'er is not worried about you, who is so ruthless that he has to put you to death, is it Sima Jinyu?"

This is the third time he asked him who the attacker was after he was injured, for Song Kui, although he is the king of Shu and is sanctimonious, but he always gives him a sense of conspiracy, and he can't know everything, for Song Wenyuan, he is a brother who is kind-hearted, he can spare his life for him, but he can't reveal everything to him, after all, he is the son of the king of Shu. What he trusts most is the beauty in front of him, he believes in her and loves her, and he also believes that Hong Shan will not betray him.

Xie Yang shook his head and said, "I'm sure it's not him, at first I thought it was a member of an evil organization, because I ruined their good deeds one after another, they must vent their anger on me, but I immediately denied it, integrity and eventfulness, they have to transport treasures and sneak around, how can they expose their power to deal with me." ”

Hong Shan opened her beautiful eyes wide and listened quietly to her lover's analysis.

Xie Yang said again, "The enemy assassinated me and knew the route I was walking well, which he would not do. According to Brother Wen Yuan, the person who attacked me was the Tongzimen of Guizhou, all killers the size of children, if most of the strangers entered Chengdu, they would arouse vigilance, such a group of people with very obvious characteristics entered Chengdu, would the King of Shu not even know about it? When I left the courtyard yesterday, only Li Yanda, the little boy who led the horse, knew where I was going, and in this way, the answer was about to come out, as I expected, Li Yanda must have been poisoned.

Hong Shan's eyes widened in fear, she couldn't believe that such a great person, a person who ruled Sichuan and Shu, would be so ruthless. She didn't even bother to ask Xie Yang why he killed him, and immediately said, "I will immediately go to see Grandpa Tian and ask him to escort you out of Chengdu and go straight to Chang'an."

Xie Yang smiled bitterly and said, "Shan'er doesn't have to be nervous, he failed to assassinate, he won't do it for the second time, if I die in the Shu Palace, where will his face go, he won't kill me this time, he won't do it before Brother Wenyuan's big day, six days later, it will be August 15, when I am almost recovered, I will leave after drinking Brother Wenyuan's happy wine." ”

Hong Shan stomped her feet and said, "You are so disobedient, Shan'er is angry! This place is so dangerous, why don't you move to the Yonghe Hall to live! I will take care of you there, it is relatively safe." ”

Xie Yang thought of Yonghe Palace, and suddenly smiled lewdly, "Are you going to Shan'er's boudoir to recuperate?"

Hong Shan's eyes widened, and he replied ruthlessly, "When is it, you are still talking nonsense, when you are injured, see if I don't clean you up," and then couldn't help laughing. "You are Shan'er's true destiny, Shan'er doesn't want you to have any mistakes, Brother Song's wedding is important, but is it worth it for you to do this? Why did Song Kui kill you. ”

Xie Yang heard such affectionate words coming out of the mouth of the intended person, and suddenly felt extremely useful, and said, "I'm afraid that Song Kui will see that I won't join the Song family! Hey, I didn't expect that this person is in a high position and power, and his mind is indeed so narrow-minded, he can't accommodate things, don't worry, Shan'er, don't forget, I'm your true destiny, how can it be so easy to have an accident, go back! Don't let people misunderstand."

Hong Shan reluctantly left the courtyard.

Xie Yang watched Hong Shan leave the courtyard and fell asleep again. When he woke up, the sky was dark, he secretly recalled what had happened in the past few days, for Song Kui's painful killer, he had a new understanding of Song Kui, that is, he could not be used by him, he would not leave any troubles. Although he will not do anything to him in the short term, but after August 15, if he rejects him and leaves rashly, he will definitely not allow himself to stay in the world anymore, and there will be a more dangerous crisis waiting for him. He immediately called the guards and said, "Go and help me call Li Yanda!"

He was sure that Li Yanda had been poisoned, because Song Kui would definitely kill people and leave no handle. The guard said lightly, "Reply to Xie Ye, Li Wu drank too much last night, stumbled and fell into the well, and drowned."

Xie Yang secretly said as expected, if you don't want Song Kui to suspect that he knows about the conspiracy, you must retreat and pretend to see through part of the conspiracy in order to deceive him, it is best to let Song Wenyuan say it, and then said, "Please ask Song Dagongzi to come, saying that I have something urgent to find him."

After a while, Song Wenyuan came in a hurry and asked, "What is my brother looking for me?"

Xie Yang couldn't bear to deceive this good brother, but in order to protect himself, he said helplessly, "I have thought of some clues of the attack."

Song Wenyuan said, "Don't be muddy, say it quickly."

Xie Yang said, "The assassin can accurately grasp my whereabouts, and it is obvious that there is a traitor."

Song Wenyuan said, "Can my brother be sure, if it is true, I will inform my father and thoroughly investigate all the personnel in the palace of the king of Shu." ”

Xie Yang said: "When I left yesterday, Li Yanda asked me where I was, and he was the only one in the whole house who knew. ”

Song Wenyuan suddenly took possession, and said in surprise, "What? ”

Xie Yang saw Song Wen's back far away, and his heart couldn't bear it for a while, and immediately, the troubled thoughts came to his heart again, after leaving Shu, where did he go! The first thing he thought of was Chang'an, the western capital, Chang'an is the capital, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, it is a good place to show off his skills and ambitions, and it is Hong Shan's hometown, everything looks so good, but then he shook his head, Chang'an is too complicated, there are many scholars and valves, and he has no chance to go at all. Luoyang is similar to Chang'an, and it is also impossible to go. Joke, now that there are all rebel armies over there, and Huang Chao's power is particularly huge, is it possible to take refuge in him? Let's not talk about Huang Chao's situation, just point out that he allows the evil organization to burn, kill and loot, he is not a person worthy of refuge, if he wants to break through and realize his dreams, he must have a fair place, and the military is a very good choice.

At this time, there were three knocks outside the door, and an unfamiliar voice said, "Thank you, dinner has arrived."

A small guy walked in slowly with a square plate, looked around, and walked towards Xie Yang.

Xie Yang was indeed hungry, he looked at the servant with a smile, thinking about what to eat, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, the way the little guy walked was so awkward, and the posture of holding the square plate was not so standard, Xie Yang suddenly became suspicious, such an unprofessional subordinate was doing chores in the Shu Palace, and he was kicked out early, Xie Yang's eyes were locked on this person, and the subordinate put the square plate on the head of the bed, Xie Yang suddenly felt bad, and his heart was shocked, his intuition told him that this person was here to kill him, and he had not recovered from the knife wound now, and it was inconvenient to move, but he couldn't sit still。

Xie Yang was busy mentioning Huang Tian's innocence. The little guy put down the square plate and said, "I don't know how Xie Ye's injury is healing", before the words fell, he raised his palm and slapped it on the top of Xie Yang's head.

If it weren't for Xie Yang's preparation, secretly mentioning his true qi, and dying with a whimper, Xie Yang raised his right hand and slapped the comer, Xie Yang suddenly felt that the blood in his whole body was flowing backwards, the wound must have collapsed, and a mouthful of blood rushed to his throat, and he held it back.

The assassin was shocked a few steps after his palm, and his eyes flashed with unconcealable horror, "You're not injured!"

Xie Yang laughed and said, "If you don't pretend to be injured, how can you know who the organizer behind the scenes is?"

After that, he used the last trace of true qi to throw the porcelain bowl in the square plate out, and the porcelain bowl flew towards the assassin fiercely, and the assassin dodged the porcelain bowl, saying, "Huangtian Dafa is really domineering, I will not accompany him", and said through the window.

Xie Yang persisted for a long time, and after confirming that the killer had gone away, he finally spit out a mouthful of blood, and suddenly felt dizzy, he pretended not to be injured just now, and forcibly raised his true anger, but he deceived the killer, at this moment it is the end of the crossbow, if the killer rushes back, it will be nine deaths, Xie Yang couldn't help it, and fainted again.
