Wen Yantong watched a thrilling assassination at close range, and the ups and downs in her heart cannot be described in words, especially when she saw the killer's sharp blade almost piercing Mu Yang's neck, her whole heart was pulled together .
Sometimes this is the case. I am used to watching the death of the main character in the TV in the book, and people will always think that the death is vigorous, but in fact, human life is extremely fragile.
If it hadn't been for Fu Zixian's kick just now, the killer's sharp blade could have easily pierced Mu Yang's neck, and Mu Yang's life would have been lost.
Wen Yantong didn't even have time to react, the matter was over, and when she wanted to move, she realized that her whole body was tense, her legs were cramped, and she couldn't stand when she moved.
After Chi Jingxi came, she reached out and grabbed his arm subconsciously, "Young Lord, are you not injured?"
He shook his head, "Which foot is cramp
"I don't know, I just feel that my legs are weak and I can't stand." Wen Yantong said.
Chi Jingxi sighed softly, squatted down suddenly, stretched out his hand to pinch her foot, pressed it to her ankle through the boot, and pinched it hard.
"Oh—" Wen Yantong couldn't help shouting.
Chi Jingxi said, "Try stomping."
Wen Yantong stomped her feet as she said. Unexpectedly, Chi Jingxi was fine if he didn't pinch, but Wen Yantong's feet hurt immediately when he pinched, and he bent his knees and fell down.
Chi Jingxi hurriedly went to meet him, and took the person into his arms. Wen Yantong subconsciously raised his head, and the tip of his nose almost hit Chi Jingxi's lips. He lowered his head, and his handsome eyebrows were clearly imprinted in his eyes.
Wen Yantong's heart throbbed violently, and she was caught off guard. Her ears seemed to be burning, but she instinctively refused to push it away, so she murmured in his arms, "Little Marquis, are you jealous of me?" My legs and feet are too agile?"
Chi Jingxi slowly helped him up, "I'm jealous of a lame man with quick legs?"
"I'm not lame anymore!" Wen Yantong said angrily.
Chi Jingxi looked at her with a smile, "I'll carry you out."
Wen Yantong was stunned, and his heart was moved immediately, but considering the crowds here, he still shook his head, "Forget it, I don't want to trouble the young master."
The key is that the legs and feet can be slowed down for a while, and it is not so pretentious that it makes people forget. She moved her feet and felt that she could almost go, so she left the theater together with Chi Jingxi.
The banquet was completely messed up, more than a dozen corpses were carried out, and the daughters and young masters of each family fled home in a carriage.
The news spread quickly, and the assassination caused an uproar when it spread throughout Chaoge. The emperor ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, and strictly guarded all entrances of Chaoge, and those who entered and exited had to go through strict investigations.
Wen Yantong also asked Chi Jingxi before, isn't this usually a case of keeping alive? Otherwise, how to interrogate the news.
Chi Jingxi replied with cool eyes, "This kind of person can't get any valuable information out of his mouth, and the corpse can tell us more."
Wen Yantong didn't understand this either, he only knew that after the assassination, Chi Jingxi stayed in the palace for three full days before leaving the palace, and that afternoon, he came to Wen Yantong's mansion.
It's just that Chi Jingxi forgot that Wen Yantong had the habit of taking a nap, and waited for a while after arriving.
After he rectified last time, all the servants in the house trembled and waited on him carefully after seeing him this time.
When Wen Yantong woke up, he immediately rushed to report.
Wen Yantong put on her clothes, yawned and went to the main hall. As soon as she entered the door, she asked loudly, "Young Master, are you done with your work?"
Chi Jingxi turned to look at her, with a smile in his calm eyes, "I'm done with work, and I'll come to you as soon as I have free time."
Wen Yantong sat down next to him, thinking that Chi Jingxi must have come because he still had questions to ask about what he said a few days ago, so he waited for him to speak first.
She didn't go out these few days, and she vaguely heard that it was very lively outside. Once the assassination happened, the guilty and innocent were punished step by step from above, and many people were punished.
Chi Jingxi must have been dizzy with this matter, but what she cared most about was whether she could find the murderer who wanted to kill Cheng Yanchuan from among those people.
While thinking about it, Chi Jingxi's voice came slowly, "Your piece of paper..."
Wen Yantong's nerves tensed immediately.
Which piece of paper was he talking about? It can't be that piece of paper.
Chi Jingxi said, "It's the piece of paper you were thinking about, and where did you get the content on it?"
His tone was calm, not like the previous few times, he was a little bit forced to ask questions. But Wen Yantong still couldn't help being nervous, and said, "I picked it up."
I didn't expect that Chi Jingxi would notice her when she moved so fast.
"Picked it up?" Chi Jingxi raised his eyebrows slightly.
Wen Yantong nodded, "When I went shopping that day, I went out through the side door of the theater building, and I picked up this piece of paper there. I didn't understand the meaning of it, so I wanted to give it to you. You are so smart, you must know that it is what for."
This is an obvious lie at first glance, but there is really no basis to overthrow it.
After all, the handwriting on it was not Wen Yantong's, nor was her name on it, so no matter how suspicious Chi Jingxi was, he couldn't recognize this piece of paper by pressing her head.
Chi Jingxi was silent for a while, and sure enough, she no longer pursued the matter, but said, "Do you want to go home?"
Wen Yantong immediately understood that he was going back to Chang'an, so he nodded and said, "Of course I wanted to."
He bent his lips and smiled, and there was tenderness in his smiling eyes, "Then pack up and go back to Chang'an."
From Chaoge to Chang'an, there are thousands of mountains and rivers and countless roads.
Wen Yantong brought a lot of clothes, and the trouble is secondary, she doesn't know how far the journey is, so she must bring enough clothes.
The maid only took Moli with her, while Heying stayed behind to guard the house.
Chi Jingxi also specially sent a group of people into the Wenzhai, and appointed an older man as the housekeeper to help her manage the Wenzhai.
After taking care of everything, Wen Yantong took the luggage and the rented carriage and waited for Chi Jingxi to come early in the morning.
Wen's house was originally located in the suburbs, and Chi Jingxi happened to pass by when he was going out of the city.
When Chi Jingxi came, he also brought Mu Yang.
Mu Yang looked like a child who hadn't grown up, his eyes were red as soon as he got out of the car, he looked at Wen Yantong and said nothing.
Wen Yantong couldn't help laughing, "What's wrong with you?"
Mu Yang choked with sobs, "It's the time of the year that I hate the most. I won't see Brother Xi for quite a while..."
Wen Yantong said, "Isn't it just two or three months?"
Mu Yang said, "Isn't two or three months long?"
"If you're so reluctant, then get on the carriage and go to Chang'an together." Wen Yantong laughed at him, "How old are you and still cry, are you ashamed?"
Mu Yang was used to her jokes, so he automatically ignored it, and said, "No, my father will beat me up."
"Then you just stay in Chaoge." Wen Yantong patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "I'll go to Chang'an with your Brother Xi."
Mu Yang's eyes turned redder, probably because he envied Wen Yantong very much.
At this time, even Chi Jingxi didn't allow Wen Yan Tongpi, and patted her on the head, "Speak less."
Wen Yantong looked at Mu Yang's appearance a little pitifully, so he said to him, "Don't be sad, the time will pass soon, besides, even if there is no young master, wouldn't Fu Zixian still be in Chaoge? Are you idle?" Isn’t it fun to call him out to practice archery together?”
Perhaps it was because this proposal was quite Mu Yang's intention, and his depressed mood suddenly became much better.
After loading all the things into the carriage, Mu Yang lingered for a while, then said goodbye and left Chaoge.
Wen Yantong's carriage followed Chi Jingxi's carriage, and then saluted, and the accompanying guards dragged their long tails.
Chi Jingxi took the official road back to Chang'an. The road was wide and smooth, and the carriage could barely feel the bumps. Wen Yantong fell asleep as soon as he got into the carriage, but this rented carriage was no better than a bed at home, even if it was covered with cushions, he still felt shoulder pain after sleeping.
When I woke up and asked the time, it was almost noon. Chaoge is a big city, and there are many small towns around it, so after dinner time, they randomly entered a small town, and the team stopped outside the city.
Wen Yantong felt uncomfortable in sleep, and when he got off the car, his expression was weary. Chi Jingxi noticed something was wrong and asked, "What's the matter? Are you not happy to go home?"
"I'm not unhappy, it's just that my shoulder hurts." Wen Yantong rubbed it, "The couch on this carriage is too hard, making it uncomfortable to sleep on."
Chi Jingxi said, "Then add two layers of cushions."
"I didn't bring that much." Wen Yantong said.
When going out, it is natural to keep everything simple, and basically bring things that can be used. I thought that two cushions would be enough.
Chi Jingxi didn't speak anymore, but took her to a two-story restaurant for dinner.
When Wen Yantong thought of that hard couch, he felt very uncomfortable. Halfway through eating, he said to Chi Jingxi, "Master, can I sleep with you?"
Chi Jingxi froze for a moment, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"It's not like they haven't slept together before." Wen Yantong muttered dissatisfiedly, "And there's more than one couch in your carriage, right?"
Chi Jingxi said, "At that time, I didn't know you were a girl."
Wen Yantong snorted softly, "Pedantic thinking, why don't you just continue to think of me as a man."
Chi Jingxi said, "Eat quickly, don't talk nonsense."
Wen Yantong was upset, and after eating in a low mood, Chi Jingxi ordered someone to buy two layers of cushions for her to cover.
Chi Jingxi saw her appearance, but couldn't say anything.
When he was about to get into the carriage, he took the initiative to say a few words to Wen Yantong, but Wen Yantong was also perfunctory, as if he didn't want to talk to him.
But even so, Chi Jingxi didn't let go, and watched her get into the carriage.
Continue to drive in the afternoon, Chi Jingxi sits in the carriage and reads a book, about half an hour later he feels sleepy, and tells the guards to take a rest after driving for an hour, people need to rest, and horses also need to rest.
Then he lay down on the soft bed and went to sleep with an idea in his mind before going to sleep.
His bed was really soft.
However, he didn't sleep for a long time when he was woken up by the knock on the door, "Master."
"What's the matter?" Chi Jingxi's voice was full of laziness.
"Young Master Wen is asking to see you."
"Let her in." Chi Jingxi sighed helplessly, knowing that she couldn't stay idle.
Wen Yantong was let in, opened the curtain and peeked in with a smiling face, opening his mouth in an excited tone, "Young Lord, I punctured the tire of my carriage."
Chi Jingxi was stunned for a moment.
Wen Yantong added, "Poke a hole with a broken piece of porcelain, and all the air will leak out."
