Chapter 94: A miserable night

Views:

Regarding Xie Yu's answer, Princess Liyang's expression was a bit complicated, like a bit of disappointment, but also like a sigh of relief. Or even herself, she was confused and didn't know what to do.

Xie Yu stroked her hair gently, turned around and walked out of the rockery first, walking steadily towards King Yu, his eyes passed over the Zhuo family in the middle, but he didn't make any stop: "His Royal Highness wants to invite someone to be a guest, although Take it away. At this time, the night is dark and windy, and His Highness is uninvited, so Xie Yu has a place where he is not well entertained, and if you want to come, His Highness will not be surprised."

His attitude regained his composure, which made King Yu's heart tremble. Mei Changsu reminded in a low voice: "The guest house where the Zhuo family lives is also on fire. Your Highness must act fast."

Yu Wang's eyes froze, and he immediately called a subordinate to come over, and quietly ordered him to hold the king's talisman and rush to Fenzuo to close Tianquan Villa overnight, and no one should be allowed to approach. After that, he only snorted to Xie Yu, said "farewell", and signaled his subordinates to protect the Zhuo family and go out. After all, Mrs. Zhuo was concerned about Xiao Jingrui, and she turned to look at him, as if she wanted to say two more words. Just at this moment, the eldest princess also came over, leaned on her son's arm with a tired face, and softly asked him to accompany her to the princess' residence for a few days. Xiao Jingrui bowed his head in response, knelt down on the spot, and kowtowed three times to the Zhuo couple. Without saying a word, Mrs. Zhuo burst into tears and almost choked.

Zhuo Dingfeng grabbed his wife's shoulder, helped her to turn around and walked a few steps, the pain in his heart became more and more painful, he finally stopped, turned his head, and said in a solemn tone: "Jing Rui, come here, I will tell you again. In a word…”

Xiao Jingrui stood stiffly for a moment, then Fang walked over slowly. He was clearly in front of his father who had loved him for more than 20 years, but it was difficult to look him in the eyes at this moment, so he had to put his eyes flutteringly behind his shoulders.

"Jing Rui," Zhuo Dingfeng put a hand on Xiao Jingrui's shoulder, "I know your temper can be tolerated, but you can't tolerate what you should vent. Your mother and I... are not unreasonable. People, what happened back then can't be blamed on you, don't be too hard on yourself..."

Before the word "Ji" was spoken, Xiao Jingrui's pupils suddenly closed, and he grabbed Zhuo Dingfeng's hand on his shoulder with his backhand, and pushed him aside. Amidst the exclamations of the crowd, one of Yuwang's subordinates who surrounded the Zhuo family's family burst out. The sharp blade of the knife hit Zhuo Dingfeng's vest. Although Xiao Jingrui pushed it in time, the blade still ripped through his back, showing the assassin. Quick start. But after Xiao Jingrui pushed Zhuo Dingfeng away, he no longer had time to react or dodge, and the cold blade quickly sank into his belly.

All of this happened in a flash of lightning, and several masters could not be rescued in time. If Xiao Jingrui deliberately avoided Zhuo Dingfeng's kind eyes because he was uncomfortable at the time, he turned his eyes away inadvertently, I'm afraid he couldn't be so fast. Push the adoptive father out of danger. The assassin hit the wrong hand, knowing that there was no chance, he returned his hand to the neck, and the man was dead before he fell to the ground. The nearest Xia Dong rushed over to check, but could only frown and shake his head.

"Jing Rui! Jing Rui!" Zhuo Dingfeng tightly hugged the limp body in his arms, using his fingers like the wind, he sealed several large acupoints on his body, slowing the gushing blood from the wound. At this time, the eldest princess, Mrs. Zhuo, etc. all rushed over to look at it crying. Yan Yujin was scrambling around in his arms, trying to find out the bottle of Heart Protecting Pill that was in his arms in the hall just now. Instead, I touched it for a long time and didn't touch it. Mei Changsu also came over quickly, leaned over to take a closer look at Xiao Jingrui's injury, and saw that although he was seriously injured, he was lucky to avoid the key point. Worrying, he calmed down a little bit of his heart that was being pulled up, and took the Jinchuang medicine and asked Mrs. Zhuo to wrap his wounds.

At this time, Yan Yujin finally found the medicine bottle, and hurriedly poured one out to give to a friend, but Mei Changsu shook his head and stopped: "Keep it, this life-saving holy medicine is not the way you use it. Today is one pill. enough."

King Yu, who was stunned by this close-range bloodbath, finally came to his senses, turned his head and glared at Xie Yu, but the latter shrugged coldly and said, "Everyone can see clearly, this The assassin is yours, what do you see me doing?"

King Yu was stalked by him, his anger swelled in his chest, and angrily called to his confidants, roaring: "Take this body back and let this king check how it got in, make sure to check it out!"

Mei Changsu glanced at him, but did not speak. All kinds of well-planned plans eventually have dead ends that are difficult to completely control. The unexpected scene just now really shocked him, but fortunately, there were no surprises, and it was lucky. As for how Prince Yu should manage his soldiers, Mei Changsu had no suggestion at all.

After the initial treatment of Xiao Jingrui's wound, the bleeding finally stopped completely, but he was already drowsy and his face was pale. Obviously, Ning Guofu could not stay any longer. The eldest princess had already ordered a car and was going to take him back to the princess residence for further treatment. Yu Wennian asked her to take Xiao Jingrui to the Yi Palace to recuperate in a low voice beside her, but it was conceivable that no one paid any attention to her bizarre idea, only Yue Xiuze looked like her apprentice was about to cry. He came over and pulled her aside, and said solemnly, "This is Jinling, you have to be patient."

"Why isn't Brother Xuan here?" Yu Wennian asked in a weeping voice, looking around helplessly.

"He probably didn't get in and waited outside. We are aliens after all..."

"Master, what should we do?" Yu Wennian twitched his hands, "The eldest princess is so powerful, and my brother doesn't want to ignore me... Master Chen has not done divination, and April is a great auspicious day. If we come here at this time, we will definitely be able to Brought back my brother’s…”

The people of Chu believed in the technique of divination and devouring the stars. A certain Chu emperor once abdicated because of Ziwei's invasion of the emperor's star icon, so that the prince could be enthroned early, so Yue Xiuze immediately comforted: "Master Chen has already made predictions, you are still worried. What? Although he is young and his status is not high, the divinations he has given to His Royal Highness recently are accurate time and time again, you have to be sincere."

The teacher and apprentice were whispering to the side, and others didn't pay attention, only Mei Changsu occasionally glanced over. King Yu has reassigned the most trusted people to protect Zhuo's family, and the rattan bed for transporting the injured has also been carried. Princess Liyang ordered several attendants to pick up Xie Bi and Xie Qi, and finally looked back at her husband who was left alone, holding back tears and leaving the house with everyone.

Yu Wenxuan was waiting outside the mansion gate, staying with the officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion who were the most unknown tonight. He was always being watched by suspicious eyes, but he seemed very calm and content. He was not interested in what happened in the mansion. When he saw his cousin came out safely, a smile appeared on his face. He greeted him and said softly, "Niannian, how are you?"

"He hasn't spoken to me yet..." Yu Wennian threw himself into his arms and said aggrievedly.

"It's okay, he's too shocked tonight, so he doesn't care about you. You fight side by side with him, and he will remember you as a girl." Yu Wenxuan put his arms around his sister's shoulder and comforted her softly, "You think, We chose such a public occasion to expose the matter, which has completely cut off all his retreats. The effect of this is incomparable with the private recognition. His identity and situation have changed so much at once, even if he doesn't feel it now, But it won't take long for him to find out that although the eldest princess is protecting him, the Great Liang Jinling is no longer a suitable place for him to stay. When we persuade him again, he will definitely go with us. People, always I want to meet my biological father…”

Yu Wennian nodded, his eyes kept chasing after Xiao Jingrui was carried onto the carriage, and he rumbled away, unable to hold back another burst of tears. Yan Yujin, who was about to go home with her father, saw Lianxiang Xiyu's illness was about to flare up, and after hesitating for a while, she came over and said to her: "Miss Yuwen, Jing Rui's injury is safe, don't worry about it. The eldest princess is a A person who is gracious and generous, please come and ask more, and she will let you meet Jing Rui."

Knowing that he was kind, Yuwen quickly wiped away his tears, squatted down as a salute, and whispered, "Yes, thank you, Young Master Yan."

Yan Yujin nodded in return, and looked at Yu Wenxuan again, because he didn't like this King of Chu Ling who always smirked, so he didn't speak any more and turned away.

Before Xia Donglin left, he deliberately walked around to Mei Changsu and whispered in his ear, "Young talent, you are really good at chess, but someone said that you are not good at chess, what a joke."

Mei Changsu said with a smile: "I really don't play well, Master Xia will know if you try it. But Master Xia is only interested in the case he is taking, and most likely he doesn't care about other people's chess games, right?"

"That's right," Xia Dong smiled coquettishly and exhaled softly, "I only care that my case can be solved, and I have always pretended to be blind and deaf in front of superfluous business affairs. You tell His Royal Highness Prince Yu, don't look for me, so as not to waste his money. energy."

"I never spread the word," Mei Changsu tickled her ear, and smiled to avoid it, "Besides, His Royal Highness Prince Yu is a smart person, when did you bother Lord Xia?"

Xia Dong smiled up at the sky, turned around and pulled Xia Chun, and went away like this.

At this moment, King Yu has arranged various matters to escort Zhuo's family. He has always been a kind and gentle master, and Zhuo Dingfeng is also a straightforward Jianghu person. Although his guard has not been removed, it seems that his perception of King Yu has also improved somewhat. Mei Changsu knew that he should go back to hiding now and let King Yu go to close the curtain, so he always stood far away. Anyway, the Zhuo family is now temporarily out of the danger of life and death, so they can finally breathe a sigh of relief. After all, Zhuo Dingfeng has been conspiring with Xie Yu for many years. He knows the details of many things. The lethality of a single confession is very large. As long as a little bit of physical evidence is kept in Tianquan Villa, it is possible for Xie Yu to turn over. basically disappeared. And all of this, Yu Wang will definitely do very well.

"This king will send some people to take Mr. Su back to the house?" King Yu came over, looking at Mei Changsu more and more like he was looking at a baby, "Sir fell into the water, his body is all wet, and he still suffers from the cold. Come on, this king will send the imperial doctor to take a look when I go back, okay?"

"Thank you, Your Highness." Mei Changsu smiled, "The next thing is very important, Your Highness should deal with it overnight, and don't worry about me. Commander Meng was involved in this matter for no reason, and seeing his appearance, he also reflected that he was suffering. We are a little unhappy about our use. He is still deeply favored by the emperor, and he has a high position and a high position.

King Yu was stunned for a moment, turned to look at Meng Zhi's slightly dark face, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Lao is so helpful. Commander Meng is loyal and honest, you have to be careful when you explain, we must not make him an enemy at this moment. "

Mei Changsu nodded in agreement. King Yu turned around and deliberately came to Meng Zhi and said politely, and then Fang took Zhuo's family and left in a carriage. Mei Changsu walked over after him and greeted with a smile, "Commander Meng has worked hard."

Meng Zhi saw that the left and right should be almost walking, so he relaxed the expression on his face and said, "You are still hanging out, aren't you cold?"

"It's a bit cold now... It's a curfew so late. I'm a commoner who is afraid of being arrested at night. Will the commander give me a ride?"

Meng Zhi didn't understand for a while whether he was telling the truth or joking. It wasn't until a carriage approached that he regained his senses and sat in with Mei Changsu.

"What about Fei Liu?"

"Anyway, it's nearby." After the curtain was lowered, Mei Changsu relaxed a little, took off his wet and heavy coat, and grabbed the blanket inside the carriage to wrap it. Meng Zhi hurriedly held back his vest and gave him good luck and blood.

"To be honest, tonight is really..." After the luck was completed, Meng Zhi was relieved when he saw Mei Changsu's face was normal, thinking of the various bosses who had just passed, he couldn't help but sigh, "Although you said something in advance, I still feel thrilled. "

Mei Changsu sighed: "You bystanders are still like this, and the people they are in are tantamount to suffering..."

"By the way, the secret affairs of the eldest princess are secret after all. Did King Yu ask you how you found out?"

"I didn't find it." Mei Changsu wrapped the blanket tightly around him and said lightly, "King Yu found it out and told me."

"Ah?" Meng Zhi suddenly heard such a sentence, and was immediately confused, "What, what did you say?!"

Mei Changsu tilted his head under the furry blanket and said slowly, "The whole thing started a few years ago. First, find a businessman who trafficked in furs and told him in the red sleeves that the old prince of Chu and Mr. Xiao The appearances are similar, and an old palace person is arranged to accidentally remind the queen of the old story of Princess Liyang... These two together are enough for some people to connect them. Yu Wang Manshen has too many hearts and minds, Qin Banruo He is also a person who wants to investigate if he has a secret. They don't need to push too much into the flames. They move on their own. There is one thing you probably don't know.

"what?!"

"Of course the assassination was unsuccessful, and he was hunted down with some injuries. He didn't have time to escape to Miaoyinfang, but just in time to escape into the red sleeves and was rescued by Qin Banruo..." Mei Changsu's eyes flowed coldly, "That's how King Yu knew about Xie Xie. Jade's secret to killing infants back then."

"I understand!" Meng Zhi slapped his thigh, "King Yu has discovered so many things, and he will definitely come over to discuss with you how to use it, so you planned to expose everything at the birthday banquet for him. It's wonderful! But Yu Wenxuan them… "

"Yu Wenxuan came to Jinling, because King Yu was in charge of the reception, and naturally he had the opportunity to meet Yu Wennian. As long as you see this girl Yuwen's face, what else can't you understand? The little girl's mind can be seen by looking at it. With King Yu's tongue, it's not difficult to persuade them to come over tonight."

"That's right, that's right. It's a bit more ruthless, but it's a rare opportunity." Meng Zhi sighed with emotion, "but they really came at the right time."

"At first, when King Yu came to discuss with me, I only planned for him to let Gong Yu perform at the birthday party, and look for opportunities to attack Xie Yu in front of Zhuo's family. But that was just an empty talk, and the effect was unpredictable. So The marriage embassy from the Great Chu came to Beijing. After King Yu discovered Yu Wennian, he was so overjoyed that he came to me and kept saying, 'God helps me too'," Mei Changsu sneered, "Let him think this is the case. It's because he is lucky, and it is indeed God who is helping him. Without King Yu, it would be really difficult for me to move Xie Yu."

"Fortunately, everything was as you expected, there were some minor accidents, but it didn't affect the overall situation." Meng Zhi wiped the beard on his lips and sighed, "The poor Zhuo family, who have been abused over the years, as well as Jing Rui This young man, I don't know what will happen in the future... He probably guessed your role in the whole thing, right? You are friends after all, will he blame you for being cruel?"

"It's just weird." Mei Changsu's tone didn't seem to care, but his drooping eyes were inevitably a little gloomy, and he muttered, "If you don't be cruel, how do you get the connection between him and Xie Yu? Children... eventually have to face these... "
