“Because there is no reason to stand by and watch.” Shen Miao said.
Xie Jing Xing was silent.
Shen Miao herself knew that this reason could not be justified, in the eyes of others, before working with Pei Lang, she and Pei Lang basically had no place to communicate, even if Guang Wen Tang used the name of a student and a teacher, they usually added it up. There are not many words in total. When you are not very familiar with a person, but you hand over these important things to him, and there is never a trace of doubt, in the eyes of others, it is naturally very strange.
Especially Xie Jing Xing was not a careless person, he was good at paying attention to all the overlooked details and had a timid acumen.
But many things are incomprehensible. She can't tell everything about her past life, not to mention whether others believe it or not, she herself can't convince herself.
Shen Miao thought that Xie Jing Xing would continue to ask questions, but he nodded and said, "Yes."
Shen Miao was stunned for a moment and then heaved a sigh of relief.
One of the most comforting things about dealing with Xie Jing Xing is that before he was not a friend, Xie Jing Xing would try his best to find out all the secrets of the other person, but after becoming a friend, he respected and would not force people to admit what he did not want to say .
Of course, maybe he can figure it out in his own way.
“However,” Xie Jing Xing pondered, “There are many guards in Prince Ding’s mansion, saving people under Fu Xiu Yi’s nose is not that simple.”
Shen Miao's heart moved: "You want to take action yourself?"
"Otherwise?" He couldn't tell the anger or anger in his tone, but he had some inexplicable meaning: "I don't dare to go wrong with the person you asked to save yourself."
Shen Miao looked at him hesitantly, the identity of Xie Jing Xing now is enough to be a headache because of Princess Rong Xin and Su Ming Feng, but these two people had a little bit of affection with Xie Jing Xing before, but Fu Xiu Yi let it go. If Fu Xiu Yi knew Xie Jing Xing's identity and did not take the opportunity to do something, Shen Miao would have known him for so many years in vain.
“You… be careful.” Shen Miao said, “I don’t want to become a widow after entering the door.”
Xie Jing Xing said, "How can you curse yourself like that?" He smiled ambiguously, "Don't worry, you won't become a widow."
Shen Miao: "..." Forget it, what this person said just now was definitely bluffing her again, Xie Jing Xing, who is so cautious, should not go out in person, she should have thought too much.
After talking for a while, the maid next to Luo Xueyan came over and urged her to eat. Shen Miao and Xie Jing walked out and had a very harmonious meal, Xie Jing Xing made even the impersonal Princess Rong Xin happy, let alone Luo Xue Yan who was hearty and smiling. He is knowledgeable and polite, and even Luo Ling couldn't help being attracted by some of his views.
A picky person like Shen Xin was speechless, but Shen Qiu was thinking about what Shen Xin told him at noon, asking him to learn martial arts with Prince Rui. One sentence: "I've eaten too much today, brother-in-law. I'll accompany my eldest brother to discuss and learn from each other later. It's not enough to sit in the house all day long. Our male family should still activate our muscles and bones."
Shen Miao stopped the chopsticks in her hand and Luo Xueyan scolded, "Shen Qiu, are you itchy? Do you want to learn from you for my mother?"
"Mother," Shen Qiu said aggrievedly, "Don't mix things up with our young people." Looking at Prince Rui again, he suddenly remembered something and said, "Yo, I almost forgot to ask, brother-in-law, do you know martial arts? "
“I understand a little.” Xie Jing Xing looked at him with a smile.
Shen Qiu said sternly: "That's good, after all, he is a member of the royal family, and the fist master who wants to come here is not bad. Don't worry, eldest brother will definitely let you. The group of soldiers gestured, and their subordinates were not serious, if they were not careful..." He cupped his hands: "I hope my brother-in-law will be considerate."
He shouted "big brother" and "brother-in-law" one by one, and his words seemed to be very guilty. However, looking at his face and tone, he was eager to try. I felt that if the meal hadn't been finished yet, I would immediately take Prince Rui to the school grounds to make some gestures.
Luo Tan and Luo Ling watched from the wall, Luo Tan was thinking, she was also very curious about the level of Prince Rui's kung fu. The world knows very little about the news of Prince Rui of Great Liang. In the past, they only knew the beauty of the royal family of Great Liang. This Prince Rui was no exception, but the rest was very mysterious. It shouldn't be outstanding.
However, Luo Tan trusted her own intuition. The last time she went to Prince Rui's mansion to ask Prince Rui for help, he felt that Prince Rui was clearly a very powerful person.
What was the situation when Shen Qiu confronted Prince Rui? Luo Tan has always been the master of watching the fun without taking it too seriously, so Quan should be watching.
Luo Xueyan was so angry that she wished she could beat Shen Qiu right now, but Prince He Rui had to maintain her mistress's good demeanor when he was here. She had to look at Shen Xin and threatened: "You don't care?"
Who would have known that Shen Xin, who had always been obedient to Luo Xueyan, didn't lift his eyelids, took a bite of the dish and swallowed it, and then said with a disregarded attitude: "What's the matter, the young people's business, let them solve it themselves."
Shen Miao saw it immediately. How could Shen Qiu have the courage to provoke Luo Xue Yan's patience over and over again, it was clear that Shen Xin was behind him. Shen Xin wanted to try Xie Jing Xing's martial arts
Shen Miao raised her eyes and glanced at Xie Jing Xing beside her and seemed to notice her gaze, Xie Jing Xing turned her head sideways and the corner of her lips twitched.
How could this person have such ability, even sending a wedding dress could make people turn their heads, Shen Miao really admired it very much.
With Shen Xin's approval, Luo Xueyan's obstruction this time makes her seem inhumane. So after eating, Shen Qiu couldn't wait to drag Xie Jing Xing to the open space in the courtyard of Shen's house.
Luo Xue Yan was afraid that something would happen, so she had to keep up, Shen Xin naturally wanted to see it, Luo Tan dragged Luo Ling to watch the fun too, Shen Miao had to go if she didn't want to. So there was a circle of people in the yard, as if they were watching the arena competition.
Luo Xueyan secretly warned Shen Qiu that nothing should happen, and to be gentle. Prince Rui was a scholar, and the royal children had never suffered hardships.
Shen Qiu put his left ear in and out of his right ear, and excitedly raised a row of weapons and asked, "Which one does my brother-in-law want, choose first!"
Said very generously.
Look at the weapons that were taken out, good fellow, spears, halberds, iron rods, machetes, nine-section whips, giant hammers, long swords… . There are even a couple of giant axes.
At first glance, it is an extremely cumbersome and difficult to swing weapon.
Luo Xueyan was so angry that she didn't want to read it anymore.
Prince Rui's eyes narrowed slightly.
Shen Qiu said proudly, "Brother-in-law, these weapons are all very good. If you like that one, just choose it, and it will be regarded as the big brother letting you."
Shen Miao: “…”
I don't know why, although the usual Shen Qiu was never a person with a lively mind, he was just above the sophistication of the world. But compared with Xie Jing Xing today, why did he appear so clumsy, he was almost like a child.
Shen Miao could almost guess how funny her elder brother was in Xie Jing Xing's eyes.
Xie Jing Xing glanced at those weapons and picked up a short dagger from inside.
“This?” Shen Qiu was stunned, but he didn’t expect Xie Jing Xing to choose a short dagger, so he said meaningfully: “Brother-in-law has a good eye, but every inch is short and every inch is dangerous, few people would dare to take such a dagger on weekdays. Because this is easy to choose, it is better to choose this long sword, although it is a little rusted, it is not heavy, you can move it."
“Thank you eldest brother,” Xie Jing Xing smiled, “I want this.”
Shen Qiu snorted coldly: "Then don't blame Big Brother for your ruthlessness in dealing with you, it's just that the weapon you chose was too clumsy."
Xie Jing Xing twitched the corners of his mouth.
Although he wears a mask, the smile on the corner of his lips always seems to be a bit careless and a bit mocking, which can easily irritate people. Shen Qiu immediately picked up a long spear and pointed it directly at Xie Jing Xing.
Luo Xueyan covered her face.
"Please, big brother." Xie Jing Xing was polite.
"I'm not ashamed to say it!" Shen Qiu took the lead and charged with a long spear.
Many years later, Major General Shen, who was a mighty and powerful general in the world, became a veteran General Shen. His outstanding military exploits in his life were envied by countless people, and he won countless battles. He clearly remembers this afternoon with warm sunshine, which will be his indelible memory... and shame for countless years to come.
No one could see what was going on. Shen Qiu charged with the gun, and the two of them mixed together, but soon they separated. Shen Qiu's gun fell to the ground, and Prince Rui held his two fingers between them. The dagger rested firmly on Shen Qiu's neck.
Everyone in the Shen family: "..."
Prince Rui let go of his hand and played with the dagger at his fingertips, before he looked at Shen Qiu with a half-smile, and said, "Thank you eldest brother for accepting it."
With six words, Shen Qiu's complexion suddenly turned purple.
Everyone in the Shen family looked at each other in dismay. They didn't understand what this meant. Luo Tan murmured, "Cousin Qiu... did you lose?"
Everyone was shocked.
Among the younger generations of Ming Qi, Shen Qiu's martial arts was said to be the second, and no one dared to call him the first. First, it was taught by Shen Qiu himself since he was a child. The Shen family has been in the military for generations, and there are many martial arts books hidden in the house. Second, when Shen Qiu was still young, he was brought by Shen Qiu to follow him to fight on the battlefield. With these two things in place, it can be said that Shen Qiu's martial arts are all full of punches, and there is nothing wrong with him.
But Shen Qiu's spear was actually picked off by Prince Rui, and Prince Rui's dagger was still on Shen Qiu's neck. What do you think, Shen Qiu didn't have any left.
Shen Qiu gritted his teeth and felt unwilling, but he had no choice but to say, "I am willing to admit defeat."
Luo Tan had already taken the lead in clapping her hands and shouting, "Brother-in-law is amazing! If you can beat my cousin Qiu, you are the best in Ming Qi!"
Luo Ling hurriedly covered Luo Tan's mouth, Luo Tan was Shen Qiu's cousin after all, but she encouraged outsiders, and Shen Qiu was more sad when she heard it. He glanced at Luo Xueyan with some anxiety, thinking about his son's loss to an outsider, Luo Xueyan must have felt uncomfortable, but who knew that when he looked back, he saw that Luo Xueyan had hurriedly walked over to Prince Rui who had returned, and said, "Jing Xing, you Is your martial arts so good?"
"I have practiced martial arts since I was a child, but it's all about flower boxing and embroidering my legs," Prince Rui said with a smile.
"Young people shouldn't be so humble all the time." Luo Xue Yan said, "If you have the ability to be proud, you should be proud. This is like a young man."
Shen Miao said silently in her heart, Xie Jing Xing is already the proudest person in the world, if you make him proud again, he will be able to ascend to the sky…
In conclusion, this meal was a meal for the guests and hosts, and Luo Xue Yan and Luo Tan asked Xie Jing Xing many martial arts questions. Xie Jing Xing's humility was just right, and he seemed to be able to do anything, which quickly surprised Luo Xue Yan. After Xie Jing Xing left, everyone dispersed, Luo Xue Yan still muttered, "Prince Rui looks good, not to mention his identity, just his courage, talent and character, he is a leader in the world."
"Who can see what he looks like when he wears a mask." Shen Qiu said, "Mother is too partial, what if he has scars on his face and looks ugly? Besides, how do you see his character? Yes? I don't see it well."
"What do you know?" Luo Xueyan said, "He has poetry and writing in his belly. Although I can't see this kid's face, he has a good temperament. Even if his face is not that good-looking, his temperament can make up for his face. Besides, I have traveled more bridges than you have traveled, and you can tell by looking at people's eyes what their character is, it is impossible to pretend."
Shen Qiu pouted, "It's just eccentric."
"Shen Qiu, you are enough for today." Luo Xueyan glanced at him, thinking of the previous incident, and suddenly became angry: "What's your intention to target other people everywhere? It's better to be jealous of others if you have this skill. Practice your martial arts well, the knife is on the neck in a few strokes in the hands of others, and you will be embarrassed if you say it out?"
Shen Qiu hurriedly said: "I know my mother, I will go to my father to practice martial arts now! Immediately! Immediately!" As he spoke, he ran away.
Luo Xue Yan looked at the wooden box on the table, which contained Shen Miao's wedding dress, thinking that such an expensive dress had to be locked before she was relieved. I picked up the box and planned to put it in the warehouse myself, but there seemed to be a mezzanine on the cover on the surface of the box.
She had doubts in her heart, opened the mezzanine, and a booklet wrapped in red cloth suddenly fell out from inside.
On the other end, Shen Qiu was talking to Shen Xin.
"Father, that Prince Rui has definitely practiced martial arts for more than a few years. Judging from this appearance, he should have been practicing martial arts since he was a child. Otherwise, it is impossible to decide the winner with me within a few strokes." Shen Qiu thought for a while, then said: "Besides, his moves are also very ruthless. They are even worse than those of the soldiers. It stands to reason that a child of the royal family does not have to be like this." After speaking, he said bitterly: "This time I took it lightly, let's go. The next time I come again, I will definitely beat him up!"
Shen Xin waved his hand and said, "Okay, you are not his opponent."
"Father!" Shen Qiu was shocked: "You won't look down on me just because of one mistake I made! I really took it lightly this time, who would have known that he, a handsome white-faced scholar, would actually look down on me. Hidden, I…”
"Why are these hidden?" Shen Xin interrupted his words, showing a trace of complexity on his face.
"Father?" Shen Qiu was puzzled: "What does this mean? Could it be that he has something else to hide from us? Is he a good person?"
"Okay, you can go out." Shen Xindao: "Don't think about anything, just practice your martial arts."
Shen Qiu: "..."
He just lost once, how could he seem to have become a scholar with no strength at all!
Shen Qiu left angrily. He planned to go to the school grounds every day to compete against others from today. However... When Shen Qiu was leaving, he couldn't help but glance at Shen Xin.
Why does my father look so sad
Shen Xin is indeed very sad, this sadness is gradually magnifying in his heart at this moment, and it has almost reached the point where he can't hide it. He really wanted to do something to divert his attention, but the more he did it, the stubbornly thought about it in his mind.
But he couldn't tell anyone. If he told others, he didn't know how much change it would cause.
He asked Shen Qiu to test Prince Rui's martial arts, his original intention was to see if Prince Rui was qualified to be the son-in-law of the Shen family. Before today, Prince Rui was just a name on Emperor Wenhui's imperial decree. The Shen family never expected what he was like. They regarded Prince Rui as an ambitious man with malice and Shen Miao's marriage was not equal.
But seeing Luo Xueyan and Prince Rui chatting happily today, Shen Xin knew his wife best, Luo Xueyan was very satisfied with Prince Rui.
If Prince Rui had already made Luo Xueyan satisfied, then for Prince Rui, he would not only be regarded as a name on the imperial edict. If he wanted to become the son-in-law of the Shen family, he would have to undergo various critical and demanding tests.
Martial arts is one thing, not requiring him to be unrivaled in martial arts, but also to be able to protect Shen Miao's safety. As a woman's husband, if your wife is in danger, at least you can protect her safety.
Shen Xin was thinking like this, but unexpectedly, in this competition, he found some ways.
Several juniors couldn't see clearly, but he and Luo Xueyan could see clearly, especially Shen Xin, who could even see the moves when the two faced off. The dagger in Prince Rui's hand locked the throat, Shen Xin had seen someone use it before.
Xie Ding.
The disagreement between the Shen family and Xie Jiazheng has been handed down for several generations. The Shen family pays attention to the rules and etiquette of marching and fighting, but the Xie family demands that they win by surprise and do not play cards according to common sense. The ancestors have been fighting for many years, and when it comes to Shen Xin's generation, they are almost used to it, but why they became two hostile families, I don't know.
It is true that the people who know you best are not friends, but enemies. Shen Xin has been secretly competing with Xie Ding since he was a teenager. The Shen family has a gun from the Shen family. Zhou Zheng, who dances with guns and guns, is murderous. The Xie family doesn't have a gun from the family. Xie Ding's dagger locks his throat, but others can't envy it. Best used to assassinate enemy generals. Think about it, when he was fighting Zhenglie with the enemy on horseback, suddenly a dagger pointed at his throat from the spear, how terrifying it was.
Relying on this move, Xie Ding has almost won many battles.
Xie Ding's hand was not passed on to anyone else, only to his only son Xie Jing Xing, not even his two concubines. Xie Jing Xing also used this trick when confronting people when he was young. At that time, Shen Xin happened to meet a scene by coincidence. He was surprised that Xie Jing Xing used this trick so well at such a young age, even in Xie Ding's original throat lock method. It has been slightly altered to make it more savory.
And today, when Prince Rui and Shen Qiu confronted each other, this was the trick they used.
In other words, it was a move that was changed by Xie Jing Xing, the angle was exactly the same, but I don’t know if it was intentional or what, it was a bit slower than the original, it was just deliberately to let Shen Xin see clearly.
Shen Xin couldn't hide the horror at the moment when he saw it, he didn't know what to think except to cover it up with silence.
Xie Jing Xing was already dead, on the Northern Xinjiang battlefield two years ago. But how could Prince Rui of Great Liang get Xie Jingxing's dagger to lock his throat, especially if it was the exact same movement.
Even if people are doing the same thing and the same trick, there will be a slight difference, but the figures of Prince Rui and Xie Jing Xing, in Shen Xin's eyes at that moment, actually overlapped, not at all. Difference.
Then a strange thought came up, could Prince Rui be Xie Jing Xing
Xie Jing Xing was already dead!
On the one hand, Shen Xin felt that this idea of his own was incredible and ridiculous, but on the other hand, he couldn't help thinking about it. He even felt that when Prince Rui was competing with Shen Qiu, he was so slow that he was deliberately trying to make him see clearly.
Does Prince Rui want him to recognize this fact
Shen Qiu was in shock in his heart, and it was difficult to tell others. I thought it was better to check it out first, and then look at it when things were a little clearer.
After all, he did not want to see Shen Miao get hurt. And if Prince Rui was Xie Jing Xing, then the various entanglements involved would not be so simple.
…
Days go by, and there are only a few days left until the New Year's Eve. For ordinary people, the days of the New Year's Eve are the happiest. Because the end of the year, they have to treat themselves better. Eat well, drink well, play well, and enjoy every day. The happy days are short, so I feel that it is a bit of a loss.
But for Pei Lang, the days were like a long time. Every day he was tossing and turning on him, torturing and grinding down a small piece of flesh, and the next day continued to come again. torture.
He had been imprisoned in the dungeon in Prince Ding's mansion for an inexplicable time. Apart from torturing his guards, not even Fu Xiu Yi came here. The day-to-day torture made him suffer. His legs were dripping with blood and sweat. It was heard that after today, his kneecap would be gouged out.
Having gouged out his kneecap, he could only kneel and treat others all his life. For someone as arrogant and arrogant as Pei Lang, it was undoubtedly a nightmare in his life. Fu Xiu Yi is indeed well aware of the weakness of human nature. A young man who is full of financial resources and has a bright future in his golden years, he will live on his knees from now on. Better to die.
It was very strange that even at this time, Pei Lang did not intend to betray Shen Miao.
Although his reason has been persuading himself, just say it. After saying it, everything will be freed. Even death is better than endless continuation like this. He and Shen Miao were not any kind of friends, but Shen Miao used Liu Ying to blackmail him and he did things for Shen Miao as a last resort. This person Shen Miao, even though she said fiercely every time, actually never took action against innocent people. Even if she really betrayed her, Shen Miao would never anger the innocent Liu Ying.
After all, this kind of torture is really painful.
Although he thought so rationally, every time he was about to let go, he closed his mouth at the last moment. It seemed that as long as he said it, he had committed some heinous crime. Pei Lang thought, could it be that he owed Shen Miao a huge debt in his previous life? To suffer so willingly for her.
It's just... It's been so long and no one has come to save him, and Pei Lang's heart is also a little disappointed.
Shen Miao probably forgot about him, or, in her game of chess, sacrificing an insignificant piece was not enough to take it to heart.
Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard boiling outside, I don't know what happened, it was noisy and noisy. Accompanied by the sound of "crackling" something breaking.
The heat wave was almost on his way.
Someone shouted: "It's on fire! It's on fire!"
On fire
Pei Lang was startled, this was Fu Xiu Yi's dungeon. Normally, only Fu Xiu Yi's cronies and guards would come to the dungeon, and no one else would come. Also because of the strict surveillance, no mistakes can be made on weekdays. But I didn't expect that a fire would start here, and it will probably be extinguished soon.
But Pei Lang guessed wrong this time. Not only was the fire not extinguished, but it was getting bigger and bigger. Some black smoke even drifted in. The sound of the cluttered footsteps outside was getting weaker and weaker, as if they were far away. farther and farther.
Pei Lang's cell was the one farthest away, the one closest to the inside. Others would not see him on weekdays, and he was almost isolated here by himself. When the fire came together, Pei Lang was caught in a seedling. It is separated from the inside into two parts. The deeper the inside, the more dangerous it is. Generally speaking, no one would dare to enter.
Pei Lang would not be able to, no one in this world would risk their lives desperately to save him just because he was a death row prisoner.
Seeing the heat wave coming, Pei Lang felt that the scene in front of him seemed familiar, he seemed to have seen it somewhere, but he felt a sense of relief in his heart.
That's it... It's good to end like this.
He closed his eyes and heard an unfamiliar voice in front of him, saying, "Hey, are you dead?"
Pei Lang opened his eyes in astonishment and saw a man in black standing in front of him. This man was covered with a black kerchief. He couldn't see his face clearly. Only a pair of eyes were exposed, shining brightly. In the fierce fire, he didn't even see him at all. panic. Seeing that Pei Lang didn't answer, he seemed impatient. He didn't know where to find the key and directly opened the prison door.
This man actually came to save him!
Pei Lang felt unbelievable in his heart, but this outfit, this look, couldn't have come to do anything else.
However, Pei Lang's heart moved, why was this person's eyes so familiar
