〖Suiyun's injury was not healed, so the King of Qi went to visit him personally. At that time, the prince and King Yong had a clear distinction between Jing and Wei, and many people were puzzled at that time. Later, he knew that King Qi was good at protecting himself.
— "The History of Chu in the Southern Dynasties: The Biography of Jiang Suiyun"〗
The next morning, I was half asleep and half awake, and I vaguely felt that someone was covering me with the quilt. The movements were very strange. I woke up suddenly. To be honest, after this nine-death life, I don’t care about the things around me like before. , I opened my eyes a little, and then I saw King Qi Li Xian sitting beside me with a dazed expression, and Xiao Shunzi looked at him with a stern look. I was moved, and I heard King Yong say that when I was struggling at the juncture of life and death, King Qi knew that I needed bear bile to survive, and despite the suspicion, he sent a suit of bear bile that he had on hand. It was something that I didn't expect, and I was even more surprised by King Qi. This would offend the prince. Why did he do this? But I didn't open my eyes, what can I say, I have made a choice long ago, that is, not to follow King Yong, will I still follow King Qi? Since it is destined that there will be no distinction between monarchs and ministers, why should there be more cause a trace of concern.
King Qi sighed, turned around and walked out, stopped at the door, Xiao Shunzi closed the door and followed out, I pricked up my ears and heard King Qi say lightly: "I know you are not an ordinary person, remember to tell your master, Since he is a person with little fame and fortune, why bother here? Fengyi Sect is so easy to provoke, that is, they don't make a move, isn't there a master around the prince, Suiyun, a weak scholar, this time he was lucky enough to save a life, next Next time, persuade him not to stay in Chang'an anymore."
I heard Xiao Shunzi's indifferent voice say, "What the lord taught me is that the servant will tell the son of his own accord."
After a while, Xiao Shunzi pushed open the door and walked in. His expression was full of cold murderous aura. I asked strangely, "What's wrong? Do you hate King Qi?"
Xiao Shunzi said angrily: "Who asked him to come and cry, does he think we don't know what role he played yet?"
I raised my eyebrows to express my doubts, Xiao Shunzi calmed down and said, "Your Highness Prince Yong and I have been busy with your son's affairs these days. General Sima is in charge of the investigation in the palace, and General Sima found that the bow and arrow dropped by the assassin were It is used in the military, but it is easier said than done to bring in bows and arrows. On the 16th, when His Royal Highness banquets guests, the inspection of guests is very strict. No one can bring in bows and arrows on that day. If there are traitors in the government, then the bows and arrows may be It was hidden in advance, but after investigation by General Sima, nothing was found. Later, we remembered that Princess Qi had come to visit Princess Qi on the 15th. We must not carefully check Princess Qi's car, so General Sima suspected that the bows and arrows belonged to Princess Qi. It was brought in and used by assassins."
I said indifferently: "There is no way to confirm this matter, the only solution for now is to re-plan the defense of the palace. Although His Highness has suffered many dangers in the past, at that time, Fengyimen hadn't officially supported His Royal Highness, so Prince Yong's Palace The defense is still ok, but now it is naturally a little insufficient for a killer of the level of Shang Fengyi Sect."
Xiao Shunzi said coldly, "Young Master, is it already certain that Fengyimen was the one who assassinated him?"
I looked at the fire in his eyes, I was afraid that after I said "yes", he would go out to kill, but I could only shake my head and said: "I only said that the level of the killer should be no worse than that of Fengyimen, but I didn't say yes. The people from Fengyi Sect did it. I saw the assassin that day, and if I see it again, I should be able to recognize it, but I am sure that it was not Qin Qing who did it."
Xiao Shunzi frowned and said, "Other than that, there are only Xiahou Yuanfeng and Li Hanyou. General Pei is beside the son. With such a status as Duke Wei, he shouldn't be him."
I said indifferently: "Xiahou Yuanfeng said that it was convenient for him to go out, and Li Hanyou said that he didn't like the noise in front, so after congratulations, he went to the back to see the princess, both of them are possible, but we can't rule out that there are other people mixing in. Maybe, we all know that the person who has the ability to go directly to the cold garden to assassinate must be the guest of the day or the traitor in the palace, but this cannot be used as evidence, so although the two of them are seriously suspected, the prince cannot arrest them." It cannot be said that it is Li Hanyou, after all, I have never even seen her face, so guessing without evidence is better not to say.
Xiao Shunzi said coldly, "I can do what the lord can't do. As long as the son allows me, I will kill them."
I smiled and said: "Nonsense, how can we not be reasonable, if they do, they will still embarrass us in the future, are you afraid that there will be no chance to deal with them, well, let's go after the evil hands, anyway, always You can't let him go in vain and leave troubles behind."
Xiao Shunzi said lightly, "Young master, don't worry, I have already rearranged Hanyuan's defense. I used to dislike them being too close to each other. This time I can't let my son's wishes."
I embarrassedly said: "This, I just don't chase them away."
When Xiao Shunzi saw me like this, he said, "When I come back, do whatever you want. If I'm not here, there must be no one around you."
I nodded again and again, this time I was assassinated, Xiao Shunzi felt very guilty and always felt that he did not protect me, but he is not a person who complains and feels sorry for himself, so from now on he will never let me mess around. Although I like freedom, But thinking about it, life is still the most important thing. They didn’t know my importance in the past. I’ve almost died. I’m afraid that my side will be even more dangerous in the future. How can I dare to do it at will? I just don't see them anymore.
Xiao Shunzi left in a hurry. I knew that he was going to hunt down Poison Hand Xie Xin. It is said that Poison Hand Xie Xin had escaped a few times. And if he couldn't kill the assassin who participated in the assassination that day, Xiao Shunzi couldn't forgive himself no matter what.
I lay down comfortably. Now my most important task is to take care of my body. Thinking of Mr. Sang's warning, I don't want to live only ten years. I have to re-practice the health qigong that has been abandoned for a long time. Life is so colorful. It would not be a pity if I died early. This time I escaped from the dead, but I feel that many things have been overlooked. Even thinking of the fragrance, I no longer feel the pain in my heart, but only remember her beauty and the past. Happy.
Leaving King Yong's Mansion, King Qi Li Xian returned to his mansion indifferently. He just walked to the gate of Jingu Garden, where only he could enter, when he saw Qin Zheng and a few maids waiting there. Jingu Garden was Li Xian's own residence. , Without permission, no one is allowed to enter, even Wang Fei Qin Zheng can't enter, so she waited at the door.
Seeing Qin Zheng, Li Xian showed a sarcastic smile and said, "Aiya, the princess is pregnant, how can I stand here, this king can't afford it, I don't know what the princess has to teach."
Qin Zheng shook his body and said, "Your Highness, I don't understand why Your Highness treats my concubine so kindly, you and the prince are on the same boat, but you were sending medicine and inquiring a few days ago. It makes the prince unhappy, and now I go to visit again, isn't it that I don't take the prince in my eyes, my concubine is for the sake of His Highness, why is His Highness—"
"Shut up." Li Xian's expression became cold and unfeeling, he said coldly: "Princess, what did you do, do you want me to tell me, why did Fengyimen suddenly remembered to assassinate Jiang Zhe, and how did the bow and arrow come in? , Are you a fool to be this king, Jiang Zhe once saved my life for this king, although this king does not have that blessing, I can use him for my use, but who asked you to go out and kill him."
Qin Zheng looked flustered, although Li Xian used to be moody, but he had never been so angry as today, she couldn't help defending: "It's not what the concubine meant, the concubine just said that both His Highness and King Yong value Jiang Zhe, and the order is the inner hall. The handed down, the concubine is also under orders." After saying this, Qin Zheng's face turned pale, and she realized that just now, she admitted the fact that she was monitoring Li Xian, and also admitted that she participated in the assassination of Tian Ce. The fact of the handsome man Sima.
Li Xian gave Qin Zheng a cold look and said lightly: "If you were not my wife, why would I have to work hard for you to make amends, Zheng'er, you are so stupid, I don't know who is so kind to you, that's all, go ahead , take a good rest, don't go out and walk around during this time, and take good care of your baby at home."
After saying that, Li Xian turned around and walked into Jingu Garden, looking at his cold and arrogant back, Qin Zheng wanted to follow, but the black door was closed, Qin Zheng only felt that his heart was getting colder and colder, and for some reason he only felt Dizzy, he fell softly into the maid's arms.
The moon is dark, the stars are faint, standing on the bank of the river, a poisonous hand in a black robe looks at the reed bushes in the misty moonlight on the opposite bank, and his heart bursts with joy. This is located in the suburb of Guangji County, located in Hetianjia Town, Yongning County, Qizhou Prefecture. Although this small ferry is unknown, it is the place he is most familiar with. It is located on the remote edge of the three counties. The rolling Yangtze River flows on both sides of this place. The ferry most often used by spies, he looked at the four big characters "Chujiang Lock and Key" on the cliff on the river bank, but he didn't relax in the slightest. Although this place was only known to the night walkers as the best place to smuggle, but now he was hunting his own. Either a secret agent in the army or a master of the Dayong Wulin, this must be where they set up an ambush, although as long as they cross the Yangtze River, which is only a strip of water, they can be safe, but this is easier said than done.
Along the way, he was walking on thin ice everywhere. The orders of King Yong spread throughout the various checkpoints in Dayong. Although he pretended to be hidden, he still showed his traces several times. , only got away with it. The most hateful thing is that those people in the rivers and lakes in Dayong who are not bound by the government also aimed at him. One reason is because of the lofty status of King Yong in their minds, and the other reason is because He laughed and laughed. The reason why Dayong No. 1 young master Xiahou Yuanfeng was recognized was because he defeated Pei Yun, the commander of the forbidden army in martial arts, but many people thought that if they continued to fight, the two of them were still undecided. After knowing that he and Pei Yun were "losing both sides", all the young masters thought that if they beat him, they would be qualified to challenge Xiahou Yuanfeng, so these young masters with a lot of connections began to entangle them. The young man felt that he had lost face, and it was rumored that if the evil hand and evil heart returned to Nanchu alive, then the master of the Great Yong Jianghu would be disgraced. In this way, he was really embarrassed on all sides. Although he was lucky to be here, I am afraid that there are people in front of him. Wait for yourself. He smiled slightly, bundled up his clothes, and walked proudly towards the river.
Less than a hundred paces from the riverside, he could only hear the bowstring, a silver arrow swept across his cheek like lightning, and disappeared into the night, the evil hand and evil heart stood on their feet and slowly turned back, only to see a young man in white under the night. Holding a silver bow, he looked at himself proudly, while a woman in red beside him smiled sweetly. Poison Hand Evil Heart's expression changed, and he said lightly: "Okay, it turned out to be Duanmuqiu, the prodigal son of Yingong, and Qiao Yan'er of Fire Rakshasa. If you hadn't assassinated that day, how could the prince be injured, and if I could kill you today, I would not be in vain at Xia Dayong. one line."
At this time, someone behind him chuckled and said, "Oh, Duanmu, your great achievements are still remembered. It's a pity, it would be better if you succeeded that day."
Along with the clear laughter, a small boat floated across the heart of the river. On it stood a thin-looking young Taoist priest. His arms were slightly longer than ordinary people. With his strange appearance, he looked a bit immortal. , but a pair of eyes are lively and lively, which shows that he is a cheerful person.
When Duanmuqiu heard his words, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Bitter Bamboo, you can't always spit out ivory from your dog's mouth."
At this time, several people came out from the left and right sides. On the left were two beautiful girls, one as elegant as a fairy, the other was innocent, and on the right were three young people who looked exactly the same. With a long sword on his waist, the three youths were one with a knife, one with a spear, and the other with a soft whip wrapped around his hand.
Poison Hand Xie Xin smiled and said: "As expected, you are the only ones who have caught up. It is strange to say that the people of Prince Yong's Mansion are not in a hurry, but the Crown Prince, Prince Qi and Fengyimen are very anxious."
These words penetrated people's hearts like a sharp sword. Except for the young man on the boat, everyone present changed their faces, and the evil hand took off the leather bag at the waist, and slowly took a sip of the wine in the bag, saying: "Damn Yong everything is good, but the wine here is not as good as the fine wine of Nanchu. Alas, I can only bear it. After crossing the river, I will go to the wine shop to taste the beautiful bar. Today, whoever came first is the silver bow under the command of King Qi. Rakshasa is still Zhongzhou Sanyi in the Prince’s Mansion, or the third and seventh girls of Fengyi Sect, so it’s possible that you still have to take the lead in your affairs.”
The three youths stepped forward, and the youth who made the sword said coldly: "Poison hands and evil hearts, you're just running rampant in Yongwang's mansion, but you have caused the prince to be suspected by others. Your Highness has an order to send you to Yongwang's mansion to be punished. It’s fine if you are ready to capture it, if not, don’t blame our men for being ruthless.”
Poison Hand Xiexin smiled lightly and said, "Alright, let me teach the three of them to join forces first. I heard that the three compatriots with one mother are in the same mind. They fought in a hurry the day before yesterday, and I didn't have time to learn. I have time today. Please invite the three."
The three young men stepped forward. Although they stepped at the same time, the steps were slightly different. The young man with the sword took the lead, while the other two were half a step behind him. It made people feel depressed for no reason. After walking a few steps, the three people flickered, and they had already surrounded the evil heart. The sword shadow and knife light, combined with the long whip like a dragon, surrounded the evil heart. It was flawless, and the evil hands and evil hearts had already learned how powerful they were. In order to deal with these three people, he had already thought of a way. Just when the battle of these three people was about to come together, he had already rushed towards the whip with all his strength. Young man, he knew that the boy who used the whip among the three was always smart, and smart people tended to be cowardly. Sure enough, the young man involuntarily took a half step back. They took advantage of the opportunity to attack, but now there is a gap between the two of them. This gap is the difference between life and death. When the figure of the evil hand and evil heart passed by the young man who used the whip, his throat flashed with blood, but it was just a poisonous hand. Xie Xin was not feeling well either. A knife and a sword slashed across his back, and the blood flashed, but the two of them did not chase. Looking at the body of their own brother, they were suddenly stunned. At this time, the two women stopped the evil hands and evil hearts, but they were the seven girls from Huo Rakshasa and Fengyi Sect. Although Huo Rakshasa was a woman, she was heroic and valiant, but the seven girls had a childish face and a sweet appearance. This girl is a ruthless generation with two long swords, one is ruthless and the other is gorgeous, but the murderous aura in the swordsmanship is only more powerful. Duanmu Qiu opened his bow and arrow, and a silver light shot at the evil hand Xie Xin. Although he flashed sideways, Qiao Yan'er took the opportunity to force him into even more danger with a few swords. The more they fought, the more brave they were. At this time, the remaining two of Zhongzhou Sanyi had already rushed from behind, and the four of them surrounded Poison Hand Evil Heart, and Poison Hand Evil Heart's situation became more and more difficult.
Fairy Suya, who was holding her sword silently on the side, looked a little disturbed by the three girls from Fengyi Sect. She said loudly, "Be careful, Seventh Sister, this person has many tricks, so you can prevent him from cheating."
The four young men and women were vigilant at the same time. They knew that Poison Hand Xie Xin was not only strong in martial arts, but also very cunning. Otherwise, how could they have escaped here, but at this moment, Poison Hand Xie Xin suddenly laughed and said, "It's too late, haha." Feeling dizzy, he fell to the ground.
The three girls wondered when she was planning a plot, and suddenly felt Jiang Feng slowly, and then looked at Kuzhuzi, she sighed: "I never thought that Kuzhuzi, who is famous in the north and south of the Yangtze River, is actually a secret spy of Southern Chu. It's really unexpected."
Bitter Bamboo smiled slightly, put away a silver tube in his hand, used his arms hard, and stopped to the shore a few times. He smiled and said, "The "Dark Fragrance Floating" in Tianji Pavilion is really a good thing. It spreads in the middle, but the medicinal power is not diminished. Unfortunately, this tube of incense can only be used once, and a thousand taels of gold are really expensive."
Poison Hand Xie Xin smiled and said: "If I hadn't asked His Royal Highness to buy a bottle, do you want to use it yet, you know that Kuzhuzi is a descendant of my famous Southern Chu family. Although he became a monk since childhood, he still never forgets to finally Nanchu, better than Don't blame him for those who forget their righteousness when they see profit." After speaking, he walked up to the two brothers in Zhongzhou Sanyi, picked up the long sword, made a gesture, and was about to stab it.
At this time, a cold and soft voice came from the wind: "If you kill them, it would be a pity that no one will watch the next good show."
Poison Hand Xie Xin froze in his heart, looked up, and saw a young man in green standing not far away, but he was weak and handsome, but he had a bit of femininity. .
