Chapter 77: Each has a mind

Views:

But it turned out that the Dongshi Incident last night, and the entire city of Chang'an was under martial law. Although Ye Tianxiu was lucky to escape, but he was really unable to move. In the end, he chose a random house, thinking that even if he used force to restrain the owner of the house, only he could. Take a night's rest, take care of the injury, and you should be able to escape tomorrow. But there is such a coincidence in the world that this house is where Xia Jinyi lives.

As soon as Ye Tianxiu entered the yard, Xia Jinyi heard him clearly, but he knew that he was inconvenient to deal with, so he went to wake up Chi Ji, and when Chi Ji passed by, Ye Tianxiu was already unconscious, waiting for Chi Ji to bandage him Ye Tianxiu woke up after taking medicine inside and outside. He asked Chi Ji to go to the Yongwang Mansion for help. This is because he knew that he was so injured that it was absolutely impossible to give birth to Chang'an, and the only way to save his life was to With the help of Prince Yong's Mansion, His Royal Highness Prince Yong might save his life in the eyes of Prince Qing because the prince is already in conflict with Fengyi's gate.

If it were elsewhere, Chi Ji would probably be in trouble, but when this person mentioned the Yongwang Mansion, Chiji's heart was half relieved. When he sent the news to Yongwang Mansion, Xiao Shunzi was also stunned when he heard it, but he knew that King Qing tonight Ye Tianxiu had such a big fate when the guards were slaughtered in Beijing, but Ye Tianxiu appeared in Xia Jinyi's hideout, so he couldn't make his own decisions about how to deal with it.

I pondered for a while. King Qing and Fengyimen are enemies, so they are allies on my side, and multiple friends are better than multiple enemies. Naturally, Ye Tianxiu wants to save, but Xia Jinyi can't live there anymore. The current situation , If Xia Jinyi reveals his whereabouts, it will not be a good thing. After Ye Tianxiu leaves, I am afraid that someone will come to track down this place, so Xia Jinyi must be left, but where should he go? From today, Chang'an must be in trouble, I am afraid it will be difficult to hide. . After thinking about it, I said: "You go there in person, let Xia Jinyi think of a way to change his face, and leave Chang'an for a while. There is nothing I can do about the current situation. He should be able to understand."

Xiao Shunzi said lightly, "Young Master, keeping this person is always a disaster, why don't you just kill him?"

I shook my head and said, "No, I've never done anything wrong, this person has helped me a lot, regardless of my life, if I do this, it will be disgusting, you persuade him well, he has no role in Chang'an anyway. Better to leave."

Xiao Shunzi nodded and said, "Then I'll go there in person. I don't think Chi Ji will let Ye Tianxiu see anything he shouldn't see."

Li Shun took the carriage of Prince Yong's Mansion and drove to the hiding place. Today, Chang'an is indeed a depression. The streets are full of forbidden troops, but the sign of Prince Yong's Mansion is sufficient, and no one dares to stop it. In the car, Li Shun thought to himself, if Xia Jinyi refused to agree, he would kill him even if he blamed the young master.

It didn't take long for the car to arrive at the house located in the remote people's alley. Li Shun ordered the accompanying servants to wait outside. He went in alone and walked into the courtyard. Li Shun's eyes suddenly flashed a cold light, and his pupils shrank a little because of murderous intent. When he arrived at a young man who was somewhat familiar but unfamiliar, the young man had a handsome appearance, fair and transparent complexion, and what was even more unique was his indifferent temperament. Although he stood there admiring the lotus pond in the courtyard, in his eyes, However, Li Shun could not see a trace of joy, nor did he see any sadness, as if he had no emotions. But where does that familiarity come from? He looked at the young man carefully, and finally there was a flash of surprise and surprise, this person was actually that Xia Jinyi, what was going on, why Chi Ji didn't tell himself that Xia Jinyi had such a change. Thinking of this, he glared fiercely at Chi Ji who came out from the next room to greet him.

Chiji is a bit baffled. Although Xia Jinyi has changed a lot these days, Chiji is getting closer to him every day, but he can't feel it. As for the change in Xia Jinyi's temperament, Chiji only thinks it's because of his sadness, so he doesn't report it. Let Xiao Shunzi know. Although he was strange in his heart, he didn't dare to ask any more questions, he stepped forward and said, "This Ye Ye, you are the official of Prince Yong's Mansion. Young Master Ye is already waiting for you in the room."

Li Shun said lightly: "You go down first, I have something to say to Xia Gongzi."

Chi Ji looked a little uneasy and backed away silently, but Xia Jinyi walked over affectionately as if he had just seen Xiao Shunzi, and said with a smile, "So you came in person, how have you been?"

Xiao Shunzi looked at Xia Jinyi silently, he could feel that this person was really happy to see him, but strangely, he could also deeply sigh at this person, and there was no mood swing at all. Suddenly, he slapped Xia Jinyi with a palm. Xia Jinyi seemed to be a little panicked, but he quickly raised his palms to meet them, and the palms intersected. Xiao Shunzi only felt that Xia Jinyi's true energy was feminine and masculine. After the sound, Xiao Shunzi didn't move, but Xia Jinyi took two steps back, a blush flashed across his fair and handsome face.

Xiao Shunzi didn't continue to shoot, but Xia Jinyi didn't look panicked either.

Xiao Shunzi said lightly, "What happened to you?"

Xia Jinyi's eyes flashed and he said with a smile, "It's nothing, I just feel like I'm a different person, and I don't care about the past."

Xiao Shunzi said coldly, "Young Master ordered me to tell you that Chang'an City is very dangerous now. If you want, you can go outside for a while. If you want, I can act on your behalf and let you go freely."

Xia Jinyi's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and said, "No, Xia will never leave unless he sees Li Hanyou being punished."

Xiao Shunzi frowned and said, "The matter of Fengyi Sect cannot be resolved in a day or two. It is not convenient for you to stay in the capital."

Xia Jinyi was silent, and after a while, he said, "Don't you think that I have changed a lot, do they still recognize me now?"

Xiao Shunzi thought for a while and said, "It might not look like it at first glance, but you have stayed in the Prince's Mansion for a long time, and many people may recognize you."

Xia Jinyi said respectfully: "Master Li please convey Xia's wishes to the adults. Xia is willing to serve the adults. It is not difficult to change his appearance. Xia believes that he will not be recognized casually."

Xiao Shunzi's heart moved, Xia Jinyi didn't know what was going on, his martial arts advanced by leaps and bounds, this person is smart and smart, if he stayed by the son's side, it would not be bad. Although the Yi Rong technique can't completely change a person's characteristics, but Xia Jinyi's temperament has happened. Great changes, as long as you live in a secluded place, you should be able to hide from the eyes of others. And if he starts making troubles and refuses to leave, even if he kills him, it is not a matter of one trick or two. If he hears something about Ye Tianxiu, it will be a trouble later. It is better to take him back to Prince Yong's Mansion. , just leave him in the cold garden, if the son says no, he will kill him himself. Thinking of this, he said with a broad heart: "You can go back to Prince Yong's mansion with me to see your son."

It's not that Xia Jinyi doesn't understand the murderous intention hidden in Xiao Shunzi's heart, but he also believes that he can fulfill his long-cherished wish, so he respectfully said: "The grass people will obey the orders of the official."

Xiao Shunzi smiled helplessly and walked to the wing where Ye Tianxiu was recuperating. On the sickbed, Ye Tianxiu looked pale, and most of her body was wrapped in white cloth. Seeing Xiao Shunzi, he reluctantly sat up and said with a wry smile, "It was Brother Li is here in person, and Tianxiu is very grateful."

Xiao Shunzi said solemnly: "Last night when I heard that Brother Ye was attacked, His Highness and my son were very worried. I never imagined that if Brother Ye was attacked, it would turn out to be a blessing. Is it?"

Ye Tianxiu said with a wry smile: "The person who came to shoot with a mask, and his swordsmanship is strong, Ye Mou is ashamed, but he doesn't know the identity of that person."

Xiao Shunzi's eyes flashed, and he asked again, "Do you know whether that person is a man or a woman, and what kind of swordsmanship is he using?"

Ye Tianxiu had already recalled that day thousands of times, and at this moment he said without hesitation: "That man is a man, although he has beautiful features, but Ye has fought hard with him for a long time, that person is definitely not a woman, otherwise I don't have to guess. Who did it, his swordsmanship is also outstanding, subtle and profound, somewhat like the swordsmanship of the Yue female."

Li Shun raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you suspecting Xiahou Yuanfeng? Isn't he practicing the swordsmanship of Yue Nv?"

Ye Tianxiu shook his head and said, "I also thought it might be him, but I have seen Lord Xiahou's swordsmanship before, and I don't think this masked man is fierce and fierce, and Yuenu's swordsmanship is broad and profound, but it is not a single lineage. There are many genres, and based on this, it is really impossible to confirm whether it is Lord Xiahou."

Li Shun didn't think too much about it. There is always a time when the water will fall and the sun will rise, so why rush for a while, he smiled and said: "Ye Servant, let's go to the palace first, your injury should be re-treated, and these things will be discussed later. Right." Ye Tianxiu nodded happily.

Although the situation in Chang'an gradually calmed down on this day, there were dark waves in private. Early in the morning, Li Hanyou went into the palace to visit Concubine Ji. The two sat and sipped tea at Concubine Ji's residence. Li Hanyou's obvious thoughts were not part of it, but Concubine Ji Gui's expression was indifferent. The two wentssip for a long time, Li Hanyou finally couldn't help it, and asked: "Uncle, it is understandable that the teacher came to take over the power this time, but last night Chang'an was in such a mess, but Hanyou didn't know anything, you Say, is Master dissatisfied with Han You?"

Concubine Ji smiled lightly and said: "You are overthinking, you have done a good job these years, if the sect master thinks you are wrong, he will never let you go lightly, but these things are not suitable for you to do, although you are You were born as an inner court disciple, but now you are married to Qin Qing, and nominally become an outer court disciple. These things are not suitable for you to do. For Fengyi Sect, maintaining your current status of honor is far better than what you do. Things are more important."

Li Hanyou sighed and said, "The sect master arranged for me to marry Qin Qing that day. To tell the truth, I don't want to. Uncle, I really want to be the successor of Master's mantle, but..."

She didn't say any more, but Concubine Ji was very clear about her unfinished intentions. The authority of Fengyi's sect master could not be resisted. Moreover, the wealth, honor and splendor were forcing people to come, and there were a few people who could ruthlessly refuse. Shaking the fan in her hand gently, Concubine Ji said gracefully, "Actually, you don't have to worry too much, although you can't be the next door owner, but the door owner's meaning is very clear, the future Fengyi Sect is not the door owner alone, Ziyan She has the highest cultivation base and is loyal to her senior sister. Most of the martial power that Fengyi Clan has carefully cultivated over the years is under her control, but the reputation of brutality is too high, so there is no hope of inheriting the position of the head of the clan. Your second senior sister Xiao Lan He and the fifth senior sister Qin Zheng have both been married and have lost their inheritance qualifications. Although the third senior sister Feng Feifei has some fame in the arena, she cannot control the heroes and can only be in an auxiliary position. Your fourth senior sister Liang Wan is now a Confused, your seventh sister is reckless, and can't take on big responsibilities. Only you, the sixth sister Ling Yu and the eighth sister Yan Wushuang, are beautiful and beautiful, and the martial arts are also good. They are the most suitable for the requirements of the master, but You don't have to worry. According to the current situation, Ziyan cannot escape from the position of supervision. We disciples in the imperial court are naturally a faction, Feifei, Yuer, Xiaotong, Wushuang are also a faction, don't think about anyone Do whatever you want, as long as you are capable enough to let Laner and Zhenger obey you, are you afraid that you won't be able to stand up to them in court?"

The more Li Hanyou listened, the happier he said, "Thank you for your advice, Uncle, and I hope that Uncle will give you more advice."

Concubine Ji smiled and said, "You are a smart person with Bingxue, why are you still confused? As long as you don't show dissatisfaction, Senior Sister will not give up on you. This time, we didn't arrange this, so we can speak confidently."

Li Hanyou said with some worry: "But the disciple heard that it was Senior Sister who planned to assassinate Zheng Xia. What if it spreads out?"

Concubine Ji sneered and said: "What are you afraid of, don't say it wasn't you who did it, you don't have to be afraid even if you did it yourself, why did the sect master agree to Yuezong's people to slaughter King Qing's people this time, isn't it just to cover up our assassination of Zheng What are you doing? If King Qing's people die, I'm afraid everyone will doubt us, but it doesn't matter if you doubt, who doesn't know the grievances between us and King Qing, as long as we don't kill King Qing directly, the emperor You won't blame us, and without any evidence, who would have thought that it was Zheng Xia that we were going to kill?"

Li Hanyou sighed and said, "The sect master is really hard to figure out, and now the disciple doesn't understand why he killed Zheng Xia."

Concubine Ji Gui sighed: "Sigh, senior sister is also a last resort, Zheng Xia is a strict person, this time the emperor came back because he was willing to let the prince go, this Zheng Xia must be like the last time he was summoned, and he bluntly criticized the prince for his immorality, but the emperor treated him again. Very respectful, if we let him remonstrate a few more times in front of the emperor, I'm afraid that the crown prince's position will not be preserved. For our purpose, we have to sacrifice Lord Zheng, but unfortunately it didn't succeed, but this time he didn't want to be shaken. Prince's status."

Li Hanyou said with a smile: "Only Yuezong is the stupidest and we use it as a shield."

"It's not necessarily who is stupid." Lu Jingzhong said slowly, shaking the folding fan with a smile. Xia Houlan, the Minister of Rites sitting opposite, said, "Junior brother, don't underestimate the enemy. The master of Fengyi's sect is very powerful. It's not that you don't know that many people from our Sun and Moon Sect died at her hands."

Lu Jingzhong said solemnly: "Senior brother, I know that this woman is powerful, but now she can't get rid of us. Although His Royal Highness is not shrewd, he still knows to beware of Fengyi's door, and he and Fengyi The rift in the sect's heart is already deep, and I am confident that I can stand up to Fengyi's sect master."

Xia Houlan sighed slightly: "Junior Brother, since our Moon Sect joined the alliance 20 years ago, our talents have been withered now, but we can't stand the damage."

Lu Jingzhong said coldly, "Senior brother is the Moon Sect veteran, so he naturally cherishes feathers, but I, Lu Jingzhong, were taught by my mentor thirty years ago. Although I don't know who my mentor is in Yue Sect, but now I got everything with my own hands, and I will never allow it to be taken away from me."

Xia Houlan smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know much about this, but I heard from my predecessor that our Yuezong has been passed down for seventeen generations, and there have been many cases of books being lost in the middle, but there are always cigarettes, the master once said. , Mozong must have another branch dedicated to inheritance, and even the ancestors suspected that those people were just the disciples of Xingzong who only knew their names, but even we ourselves did not understand the details. This branch of the ancestors was very lucky. There are some things that he has been deeply puzzled by, but there is one thing that the master said very clearly. The disciples of the Moon Sect in all dynasties were mostly conspiracy and could not end well, so I tried my best to prevent Yuan Feng from getting involved in the affairs of the Demon Sect, but You always refuse to let him go, and this time let him kill King Qing's guards, do you really want to fight against me to the end?" After speaking, a murderous intent flashed in Xia Houlan's eyes.

Lu Jingzhong said calmly: "Senior brother, you can hide in the court, but your nephew is young and talented, how can you bear to let him do nothing? Besides, since ancient times, if you are a wise and brave person, you will rarely live comfortably. Brother, since I have such talent, I should have my status in this world. If it weren’t for ambition and arrogance, how could the Moon Sect continue to inherit it? I knew that after each meeting, they would kill each other within 20 to 30 years. But one or two can get wealth and power, but some people have given up. Who doesn't want to help the lord of Ming rule the world, paint shadows and smoke, and can also become the suzerain of the moon sect. With the talisman of the suzerain, you can get the star sect. Looking back at the true version of the 'Yin Fu Jing', it is a pity that only a patriarch of the thirteenth generation has been promoted to the suzerain in the past thousand years."

Xia Houlan said fascinatedly: "And the suzerain came back half a year after disappearing mysteriously, and passed away with a satisfied smile, but unfortunately he refused to say what he saw."

Lu Jingzhong's eyes flashed with enthusiasm, and said, "If I can't get a glimpse of the Yin Talisman Sutra, I'd rather die."

Xia Houlan said lightly: "Yes, I also thought so, the ancestors were as deep as the sea, and only passed down what they learned from the seventh floor, and there is today's Yuezong. I wish I was willing to pay all the price, and I want to see it. Look at the posthumous works of the ancestors. Unfortunately, now I am disheartened, and I just want to spend my life in peace, so you should stop making Yuanfeng's ideas. "

A trace of sarcasm flashed in Lu Jingzhong's eyes, and he said, "Do you really think my brother thought it was my idea? My nephew is very smart, and you have taught him what you have learned. He is also a flamboyant young man, how can he bow his head to others? "Senior brother, if you didn't teach him to read and learn swordsmanship, it's fine, it's too late today."

Xia Houlan's expression changed, and it took a long time before he said, "Yes, you are right, it's really late."
