The letter did not directly name Zhao Xingwen, which was a fact that Zhao Jiajun did not want to admit but acquiesced to.
Because of the war between Liang and Xiao, this news was not delivered to Xiao Mubai until today. It must have spread in the capital.
Xiao Mubai and Zhao Xingwen were not close friends, but they were quite familiar with each other. At this moment, when they received the bad news, they felt a lot of suffocation clogging their chests, unable to face it and vent it out.
If he is like this, General Zhao and his family members must be so heartbroken.
What's more, in Chang'an, Kyoto, there is also Huo Wenshu, who is waiting for his safe return, and who has traveled all the way to marry her in a red dress and a sedan chair.
The sky is pouring down and the sky is shattered.
Xiao Mubai looked at the stars in the night, not daring to spread the uneasiness and hurt in his heart.
Although Zhao Xingwen died, the war between Xiao and Meng has not stopped. It is very likely that Shi Fuqiu's rebels have also arrived with their troops.
What he can do, what he should do, is to end everything in Liang Guo as soon as possible and go over to help.
Xiao Mubai was in the Qinxue Pavilion of Tinglan Water Tower and opened the window overlooking the entire Tianlu Capital.
Under the starry sky and in the dark night, he leaned against the window, reflecting his tall and tall figure.
"Xianli has been in Nian Mansion for some time, right?" He faced the window and asked Aunt Yao behind him.
"Yes, it's been a while since I went in." Aunt Yao couldn't see his face, but she could clearly hear that his voice was colder than before.
"It's time to end, let's set off some fireworks." Xiao Mubai's eyes blended into the night, and the stars filled his eyes, flashing with a trace of indescribable sadness.
"Yes." Aunt Yao agreed softly, said no more, and immediately withdrew to prepare.
Not long after, Ting Lan Shui Tower set off a grand fireworks tonight. To others, it looked brilliant and brilliant, but to Xiao Mubai's subordinates, it was an order to take action.
The Nian Mansion that Xiao Mubai mentioned just now is the Nian Heng Mansion where the Yin of Tianlu Mansion resides.
Nian Heng was Gu Younian's right-hand man. Over the years, anyone who disagreed with Gu Younian's political views had been dealt with by Nian Heng without leaving a trace.
Xian Li's father, Li Yuanchi, was one of those who was framed. Li Yuanchi, as the salt transportation envoy to the capital, not only had political disagreements with Gu Younian, but also had evidence of corruption and bribery that he had ordered his subordinates to sell private salt. evidence of.
Gu Younian failed to win over him, and was criticized by Li Yuanchi with righteous words.
Naturally, he became angry and faced Nian Heng, calling for Li Yuanchi to die completely and be ruined.
As a foreign official, Li Yuanchi wanted to go to Beijing to report Gu Younian, but he had to spend some time on the way. While he was out of the city, Nian Heng bribed He Miaoqing, a maid in Li Mansion.
He Miaoqing was originally a poor girl who was rescued by Li Yuanchi on his mission a few years ago and was robbed by bandits in both wealth and sex.
Because she was helpless, she was taken back to Loei Mansion for proper placement.
As a result, He Miaoqing'en took revenge and Li Daitao lost a series of evidence that Li Yuanchi had planned to report against Gu Younian.
In the end, the forged evidence was secretly hidden in the Li Mansion, which led to the massacre of the Li family.
Over the years, Xian Li had killed He Miaoqing countless times in his nightmares.
However, Xiao Mubai always stopped her from inserting the knife in the dream into He Miaoqing's body.
Xiao Mubai told her that it was not a pity to die for He Miaoqing, but if he killed her now, it would definitely arouse Nian Heng's vigilance.
Nian Heng personally tried Li Yuanchi's case that year. After this incident, He Miaoqing was accepted as the ninth concubine.
If He Miaoqing died tragically, it would serve no purpose in her true revenge except to remind Nian Hengli that descendants of her family were still alive.
This is why Xiao Mubai repeatedly ordered Aunt Yao to keep Xianli away from the Nian family.
Xian Li stayed in Nian's Mansion as a dancer for some time. Every day she felt helpless under Nian Heng's squinting eyes, and suppressed her murderous intention when He Miaoqing twisted her waist to compete for her favor.
Until tonight, Xianli danced the last song under the moonlight of the waterside pavilion.
The sound of water gurgling all around and the endless falling flowers.
The little petals made countless ripples on the water. Before one circle dispersed, another circle spread out, and the arcs were round and round, unable to stop.
At this moment, fireworks suddenly lit up in the starry sky that dazzled her. The stream of light swirled and finally turned into dots of white light.
When the last brilliance dissipated, her face, which had always been cold and beautiful, suddenly burst into a faint smile, like a bright pearl, glowing with an extremely moving and moving brilliance. Zhijiu Nian Heng couldn't take his eyes away, and couldn't help but smile. Walk towards her.
He Miaoqing next to Nian Heng was very dissatisfied and pulled her away coquettishly. Nian Heng waved her away in disgust, and she followed Nian Heng by his clothes.
Xianli stood there and watched him carrying her, just like the beautiful flowers falling silently in the bloody wind.
"My great beauty, Xiao Li'er." Nian Hengchun stretched out his hand with heartfelt emotions.
For the first time, Xian Li did not dodge or evade. Instead, he followed his outstretched hand and slid his fingertips along his arm to his neck.
"Xiao Li'er, are you planning to follow me in gold and silver and enjoy the glory?" Nian Heng felt numbness all over his body.
The feeling of ecstasy had just risen in him, Xian Li pressed down his palm, and a dagger appeared out of thin air from his sleeve, with a cold light lying across Nian Heng's neck.
It wasn't until the tip of the knife scraped a slight line on his neck, with traces of blood oozing out, that he felt a sting.
He Miaoqing beside him shook his head and screamed, and Nian Heng finally saw clearly the shimmering blade of the sword against Xian Li's beautiful face.
Before he could speak, Xian Li's free hand had been thrown neatly on the face of He Miaoqing, who was shouting.
There was still a smile on her lips, and she said softly to He Miaoqing: "Shut up."
Nian Heng calmed down a little in his heart. He Miaoqing's voice just now was enough to arouse the vigilance of the people in Nian's house, and they would rush into the back courtyard in a short while.
Although He Miaoqing didn't dare to scream anymore, she turned around and spread her legs to run away. The silk originally wrapped around Xian Li's arm rushed away and wrapped around He Miaoqing's neck three or two times.
Nian Heng was shocked and took this opportunity to take two steps back silently to avoid the dagger placed on his neck.
Xian Li turned to look at him, her smile getting colder, the dagger came closer, and she raised her eyebrows at him to indicate that he should follow her.
"What's wrong with Xiao Li'er? This kind of interest is too intense..." Nian Heng raised his hands, fearing that she would be impulsive, but before he could finish his words, he saw Xian Li holding a knife against him and letting him go. The piece of silk was pulling He Miaoqing hard.
He Miaoqing struggled to pull the silk with both hands to prevent herself from being strangled.
But because of this, a long drag mark appeared on the ground...
