Chapter 204 Returning the Pearl ([-])

Xue Ling relaxed a lot since he didn't have to worry about Huo Yunsheng.While packing the luggage for Xianbei, he took some time to go to Su Yan's place, hoping to wait for Li A Niu to come on duty.She put a roll of silk thread around her body, thinking that if it was convenient, she could wrap Lu Wen'an's sword around it.The last time Su Yan and Xue Ling parted ways, it was inevitable that they would be a little embarrassed when they met again.Unexpectedly, Xue Ling came here for Li A Niu. He didn't know the friendship between the two of them, so he asked a lot: "What are you looking for, Brother A Niu?"

Xue Ling made up a random excuse, saying that Li Aniu dragged her to look for the sword manual last time, and found a few new ones and sent them here specially.

Su Yan remembered that Li Aniu's sword was given by Xue Ling, so he didn't suspect it.It's just that Li Aniu doesn't live here anymore.Since he joined the guard of the imperial guard, he was determined to make a name for himself, and managed to catch a few thieves, but everyone refused to accept that he was honored by the number one scholar.As soon as the two came together, they separated.Now that Xue Ling came to the door, Su Yan proposed to keep the sword manual, and he could just bring it to Li Aniu when he went to court tomorrow.

There was no sword manual on Xue Ling, so he had to make up a lie and said that he wanted to see how Li Aniu's sword practice was. He got the address in a flick, and when he looked for it, he found that it was even worse than the place where Old Li Tou lived. , and Li Aniu hasn't come back yet.

The lock on the door is rotten, if you touch it with your hand, the rust on your hand will make no difference whether the thing is hung or not, it's hard to dangle on it.Xue Ling opened the door and walked in, seeing that the inside was also full of smog, as if there was more than one person living there.Men's clothes and pants were everywhere, she slid her mind out, picked one up and held it up in the wind to look at.

Then he shouted loudly: "Who is it?"

It wasn't Li Aniu's voice, Xue Ling raised the rag on the sword, turned around and stabbed at it, the tip of the sword hit a hard object, and there was a crisp "jingle", which should be caused by the collision of similar objects.The person who came also drew his weapon.Thoughts were circulating in her mind, but she didn't immediately look up to see who it was. The position where she just stabbed was at the waist, and she lifted it up when she was blocked, and her lower body did not forget to jump up, so as to prevent the opponent from slashing at her. Three inches, since the person who comes is horizontal, the chest should be wide open.

His eyes followed the sword, and he met a bearded face.She didn't intend to kill people, and she didn't pierce the skin on purpose, only tore through the skirt of her clothes.But it doesn't matter if you stab it in. The person who came reacted very quickly. Before the knife could be retracted, the scabbard in his left hand immediately blocked it. It seemed that if Xue Ling didn't retract it, his arm would be hit directly. If you let go, it won't cause too much damage.

Xue Ling turned over and landed, put Pingyi behind his back, and looked at the person coldly, he should be living with Li A Niu, and his skills are passable.

Guo Chi looked at the finger-length cut in his chest in disbelief. He knew from the back that it was a little girl. He thought he was looking for someone, but he was used to talking loudly.It's not like I haven't seen a female snitch before, but this is just a kennel, so there's nothing to steal.Fortunately, he was carrying a knife, and he was used to patrolling the streets, so he could pull it out easily. If he slowed down, a hole would be poked out of his abdomen.

"I'm here to find Li Aniu."Xue Ling preemptively strikes, and has no time to talk nonsense with this person.

Guo Chi tore the torn place, and he didn't have a few complete clothes, so he felt really distressed.Hearing that he came to look for Li Aniu, he was not too embarrassed, so he could only say awkwardly: "Then you have to wait a while, he is on duty during the day, it's still early."

Xue Ling raised his eyebrows and said, "Who are you?"

"Who can be, they all work together, set up a place to live, who are you." Guo Chi muttered to himself, it must be a lady from some family who came here.

Xue Ling stopped answering, picked a clean place and sat down.Guo Chi scratched his head, he was on duty at night, so he should get something to eat.The pawn of the city gate didn't have much money for a month, so the food he ate was naturally rough, a few cold steamed buns with some pickles, he filled three or four of them in a bowl, and squatted far away from Xue Ling to eat by himself.

The food eaten by the people below is not refined, and the noodles are also earthy yellow.I don't know if it's too hot, but I bought it in the morning, and it's only evening, and mold has grown in some places.Guo Chi couldn't bear to throw it all away, so he picked out the bad parts and continued to eat.Xue Ling didn't pay attention at first, but when he saw it, he couldn't move his eyes away.She hadn't seen this kind of moldy steamed bun for a long time, and she endured it, but she still stood in front of Guo Chi.

Just as Guo Chi raised his head suspiciously, the bowl in his hand was kicked over, and the remaining two steamed buns rolled on the floor.Then he knew that Xue Ling hadn't threatened, so he untied the knife and put it in the room.Looking at it now, Xue Ling's eyes were full of cruelty.

He proudly looked down: "You like eating this steamed bun so much?"

That night she sat under the tree and stuffed a bag of steamed buns that a beggar had left for several days into her mouth out of ten, until her throat was blocked.

Guo Chi was inexplicably taken aback, he had caught quite a few Xiaoxiaos, and it was inevitable that he would meet a few who were dying, but he had never seen such a vicious one.The most frightening thing is not the tiger eating people, because everyone knows that it is dangerous.The most frightening thing is that the white rabbit opened its bloody mouth wide, revealing its blue-faced fangs. Just that weirdness makes you feel cold all over, just like the girl in front of you.

"Eat... only this to eat."He subconsciously answered in a daze.He and Li A Niu are both masters who eat and drink as soon as they are paid, and it will not be the second half of the month, and they will be stretched.

Xue Ling looked at the people in front of him dumbfounded, and calmed down again.No, it wasn't the dog at the city gate that night, and no one was chasing him at this time.She took a few deep breaths and looked away from the steamed buns on the ground.He took out a silver ticket from his pocket and stuffed it to Guo Chi, saying, "Eat wherever you want, hurry up."

Guo Chi realized that he was going to get the knife, holding the bank note, he thought it was better to ask first, he and Li Aniu were like-minded, and they were friends of eight obeisances.In case it is a brother or something, I will be embarrassed in the future if I offend him.What's more, it's free... He looked at the bank note, which was equivalent to his salary for two or three years.Fearing that Xue Ling would go back on his word, he didn't ask any more questions. He grabbed the silver ticket, took the knife and disappeared.

When Li A Niu came back, he saw Xue Ling sitting on the steps, holding half a steamed bun in his hand, lost in thought, wondering what he was thinking.But his face was not very good-looking, and he called out tentatively: "Miss Qi San...?"

Xue Ling didn't answer, and didn't come back until Li Aniu walked in front of her. Looking at Li Aniu, he forced a smile and said, "Brother Aniu."

Li A Niu was very happy, and said: "It's really you, Ah Yi said that Mr. Qi moved away with his family, I thought you left too."It was already dark at night, and he hadn't seen Xue Ling a few times, so he didn't dare to recognize him until now.Seeing that Xue Ling was still holding half a steamed bun, he smiled awkwardly and said, "When did you come here, Brother Guo can't let you eat this, right?"

Xue Ling also smiled, threw the steamed bun on the ground, clapped his hands and said, "No, I'll come and see you, can you finish your meal?"

"You come to see me"?Li Aniu asked in disbelief, grasped the shuriken a little bit and said: "Not yet, Brother Guo and I can eat as we please, I invite you..." He remembered that he had no money, so he could only say: " I invite you to have dinner there."

"No, let's go and I invite you. Are you calling that man Brother Guo?"

"Then I will send you the moon silver and then I will invite you back. Brother Guo is on duty at the same place as me. How much older than I am. We have made a promise to live here together. He didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

Xue Ling took out the roll of silk thread and held it in his hand, walked ahead and said, "No, I just want to see how your sword practice is, and there is nothing to see at night. You are Su Yan's eldest brother, and naturally you are also my eldest brother." , What's wrong with having a meal?"This place is really broken, and the smell is very strong.But Li A Niu moved away from Su Yan's place, she was very happy.Although it is difficult for Su Fu to act suspiciously, there is Shang on one side and Yulin Wei on the other.It was inevitable that Wei Lang didn't have much thought.Li Aniu's life experience is also difficult to withstand investigation.Although the relationship with Su Yan cannot be completely washed away now, at least it is not so eye-catching.

Li A Niu was also very happy to follow, saying: "Next month I will be on duty at night, come over again, I will show you."He is interested in martial arts, he is good at epee, and the sword manuals Xue Ling gave are basically exquisite. In addition, he eats by the sword every day, studies hard and practice hard, so he naturally has some achievements.Among all the errands, he is considered outstanding.After speaking, I felt that it was a little overstepping for Xue Ling to come over, and said: "I don't know where the third lady lives. I should have come to visit, but I don't know where it is convenient."

Xue Ling felt weird when he heard his sudden politeness, and the place where he lived was not convenient for people to walk around.In case Li Aniu is put in front of Wei Lang this time, you should be more careful in future dealings, it is better not to tell him for now, so he lied: "I live with my eldest sister in Chen Wang's mansion, and I am waiting to have a relationship with Jiang's mansion." It’s really inconvenient for Brother A Niu to come over because of his marriage.”

There was no sound for a long time, Li Aniu forgot that Miss Qi San was engaged to Jiang's family, fortunately he never had any extravagant thoughts.People know that a lean camel is bigger than a horse, even if the Qi mansion moves away, the difference between the two is still a bit far.It's just that there is a faint feeling of loneliness in my heart. Most of the men and women want to avoid suspicion. When they get married, they may not be able to see each other even more.

Xue Ling didn't hear Li Aniu's answer, and thought he had heard that he was lying, and made some more nonsense, saying that he would come over when he was free.Li Aniu had nothing else to say except praise.

The two followed the voice of the people, Xue Ling went straight to Linjiangxian, but Li Aniu followed her, not paying attention to the road at all.When they arrived at the place where they found out that only the dignitaries in Beijing entered, they were led to the private room on the second floor, which inevitably felt a little cramped.Xue Ling didn't notice it.Just as Jiang Hong said, she loves and hates too much, and she is deeply ashamed. She tried her best to control herself in front of Li Aniu, but it was still difficult to calm down.

When the food and wine were served, the two talked about some interesting things and drank a few more glasses of beer, and the situation got a little better.The topic changed from Su Yan to catching thieves, and finally was smoothly brought up to the matter of martial arts.Xue Ling said: "I saw the basic sword manual in the shop today. I wanted to buy it from Brother A Niu. Unfortunately, I don't know what you have practiced. I'm afraid it won't be beneficial to buy it. When Brother A Niu is free, I will take you there in person. Take a look, pick up what you like and buy it. Maybe you can see if there are other things that are handy.”

Li A Niu became interested as soon as he heard it, and said: "Really, I can do it now", and then said with a look of embarrassment, and said: "It's just that I don't have any money with me, can you help me pay for it first. Tomorrow I'll go ask Ah Yi to lend you some money back."

Xue Ling said: "What do you say is money or not? It's just that the shop is closed now, and I can't see it when I go there. I'm afraid I have to wait until you are on duty at night."

"That's it, I really have to wait. It's a pity. I roughly looked through all the ones you gave me. I just wanted to find something new."

Xue Ling said calmly, "How did Brother A Niu learn?"

"Hehe, it should be okay. The brothers patrolling the street are not my opponents. Thanks to your uncle's sword, it is easier than the official sword. When will you take me to see your uncle, I can tell you in person. thanks."

Xue Ling squeezed the roll of silk thread, and stuffed it back into the sleeve calmly.Li Aniu is not Uncle Ru after all, since the things have been given out, why bother to obsess over them.Said: "Uncle is not in Beijing for a long time, if you can make good use of it, it can be regarded as fulfilling my wish."She put a chopstick of sprouts into her mouth, and pretended to talk about tomorrow's affairs casually: "Suddenly remembered that next month, I'm afraid I won't be in Beijing, or I will accompany you to see the sword of that family tomorrow." Spectrum?"

"I want to go, but I'll be on duty tomorrow."

"Brother A Niu is really honest, you are patrolling the streets, don't you just walk around the streets, just search there, and when I'm almost there, you can patrol around the shop, go in and have a look, and it won't take long .”

Li A Niu slapped his head and said: "You are right, which shop is it? We patrol the streets and have a place, and it doesn't matter if it's too far away."

"Yinghua Street, Tao Ji."

"This is the busiest street in central Beijing, so it's fine. We go here for handovers every day. We go several times a day. When will you come over?"

"It's about a quarter of the next year. Going out too early will cause people to gossip. Brother A Niu will wait for me."

"No problem, we are almost on duty at that point, and the higher-ups won't blame you if you go there."

"The dish is cold, eat it quickly."Xue Ling pinched his wrist and persuaded with a smile.

Declining Li A Niu's kindness to send him back home, looking at the lights on the street, when he returned to Xue's house, the coil of silk thread was pinched and deformed.Xue Ling took it out and threw it on the table, seeing that the road map given by Huo Yunwan was not there yet.Pick it up and move it over the candlelight.She did what she had to do.As for what the result will look like, it is useless to think too much.

Brocade brocade red tents on the gums, frowning willows listen to the dragon driving, and the phoenix sheng is sucked across the flowers.After the cloud and rain, Wei Lang lay in a light sleep, only to feel that the people around him got up lightly, and opened their eyes to see that they were picking up candles with hairpins.Turning around, his face was like a peach, his eyes were full of spring, it seemed that he was startled by opening his eyes, and the slightest panic was even more attractive.The night was still very long, he patted half of the bed.

Xuese walked to the bed with her head down, knelt on the bed first, and then fell down slowly, letting Qingsi slide down to cover her eyebrows and eyes.

Wei Lang deliberately said: "Forget it, I have to go to court early tomorrow."

Snowy snorted inaudibly, and couldn't wait to brush the hair with her hand, just seeing Wei Lang's expression, she blushed immediately, buried herself in the quilt and didn't speak.

As long as Wei Lang admired Xue Se, he pampered her for as long.What I like, happens to be the meaning of letting you pick and choose.Just about to reach in.The people inside suddenly lifted the quilt and said hesitantly: "The concubine has something to ask His Majesty for permission."Wei Lang suddenly lost interest.

Just the joy of these days is enough for him to ask "what's the matter".For those who feel stupid after asking, even asking for something is interesting. I don't think there is any woman who is so uninterested in asking for things on the bed.

Xue Se leaned her head into Wei Lang's arms, and said: "Tomorrow is the Summer Solstice Festival, and it is considered a small day among the people, I think, burn some paper money for mother."

The interest that Wei Lang had just let go suddenly came back a bit, he didn't pay too much attention to the identity of the person in his arms, he only knew that it was someone who was sold into the palace.It is not allowed to burn paper money in the harem, and it is considered to understand the rules to ask yourself.People are so strange, what she wants, you don't want to give.She doesn't want it anymore, so you think you can reward her a bit.

Although the favor was great, Wei Lang didn't give Xuese a high status. He thought she was going to complain to himself, begging for wealth or something, but she didn't expect to burn some paper money.With the word on the head, and a few more words of love, I realized that the mother who depended on each other died not long ago.Simply show mercy and let him burn in front of the grave.Concubines are not allowed to leave the palace in private, but who knows if the emperor sends someone out?Just pick a time in the evening and send someone to follow.

The owner of the inn opposite Tao Ji was in full bloom early in the morning. A group of merchants who came from nowhere packed up the entire store. One package lasted for ten days, and the counter where the money was smashed was banging.

It has been a long time since Xue Ling put on men's clothes so carefully, with her Adam's apple tied, and she didn't forget to put effort into her shoes in order to look tougher.When the tiara appeared in Jiang's mansion, Jiang Yufeng was also taken aback.No wonder no one has known the Xue family's secrets for so many years. He has been wondering if it was too dark at night back then. Looking at it today, there is no flaw at all.Not to mention the body shape and movement, even the look and accent are the same, the likeness is not enough to generalize, it is nothing at all.

However, Xue Ling felt that she was rusty. If something like false voice was not used for a day, it would be easy to reveal her secrets. What's more, she hadn't used it for so long, so she could only try to scrape her throat to make her voice hoarse.At noon, people from the Jiang family turned into business travelers and sneaked into the upstairs of the inn. Seeing that the budget was approaching, a group of people put on black clothes, and a person who seemed to be the leader handed over a pill.

Xue Ling didn't know what he meant, but looked suspiciously and didn't answer.The younger one next to him glanced around, smiled and said to Xue Ling: "Little brother, this is the first time to work? Eat, it will be good for you."

After Xue Ling experienced Qi Shiyan's bowl of white fungus soup, he subconsciously resisted, saying, "What's the benefit?"

The person who took the medicine quickly stretched out his hand to pinch her mouth open, forced it in, and said, "What did the master ask you to do?"

When he stretched out his hand, Xue Ling had time to react.It's just that I'm used to sliding flat to block it, and today I slid it and didn't get it out, so I remembered that there was nothing in the sleeve.To kill people, of course a long sword is better, but just changed clothes and put it aside.After a delay, the medicine went into the stomach.

Seeing her deflated, the young one smiled mischievously and said, "Good thing, most people still can't afford it."

After eating everything, Xue Ling could only give in and asked, "What exactly is it?".If there is anything wrong, she will swallow the life-saving medicine given by Tao Hongzhi first.

"Okay, okay, don't ask, people think it's coming soon. It's really the first time you do this kind of thing, isn't it just a happy death, and there will be more chances to eat it in the future."

Xue Ling had never heard of this thing, and the name didn't seem to be a funny thing, so he asked, "What is Happy Death."

The leader seemed to think she was noisy, and said to the young man, "Don't pay attention to him, he's not one of us."

"I think he is very good, maybe in the future."The young man stood beside Xue Ling and said, "It's poison, but it takes two hours for the poison to take effect. Before that, it can speed up your heart and lungs, which is even more powerful."

Xue Ling squeezed the pill Tao Hongzhi gave, and said, "What about in two hours?"

"If things go well, you'll be back two hours earlier. Naturally, there will be an antidote. If things don't go well, you'll be tortured for two hours at most. Tell me, are you going to die happily?" the young man asked with a smile .

Xue Ling moved his hand away from the pill, stood by the window and stared at the street downstairs.It's really a happy death, she didn't know that the assassins did things like this before.It is indeed a good idea, if someone captures him, death is a kind of relief.Two hours is enough, and today is just a cover, this group of people should only live happily.

The scene on the street is not much different from usual, except that during the summer solstice, there are shopkeepers burning incense candles in the corners to pray for a good harvest and disaster relief.Tao Ji was also busy today, Tao Hongzhi should have just come back, so it was rare to be standing in the lobby.

Xue Ling had already seen Li Aniu walking around Tao Ji with four or five people, and thought it was funny.A person came in and whispered: "The Lord is here."The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.

Xue Ling also calmed down and looked towards the street. A carriage was approaching slowly, not very conspicuous.The three or four servants who followed were also ordinary, but the two tassels on the car door were ingenious and made into snowflakes, exactly as Huo Yunwan had agreed.

The strange thing is that Huo Yunsheng followed behind, neither far nor near, Xue Ling didn't know how Huo Yunwan arranged it.But seeing Huo Yunsheng being cautious, he seemed to be quite afraid of being in the carriage, so he couldn't help but be more careful. If Huo Yunsheng would just pretend he didn't see it and it would be over, it would be safer to lie to him himself if he knew it earlier.

Xue Ling held the long sword in his hand, and waited for the carriage with the others to go downstairs.Originally, she didn't need to participate in the action, but Huo Yunwan said something extra that day, "It's not easy to coax Wei Lang out, let's do our best, I don't know."

She asked several times who it was who left the palace, but Huo Yunwan avoided answering.The more mysterious the more curious, in case Wei Lang is really inside.The result of the discussion in Jiangfu was that the fake show was real, and Huo Yunsheng simply killed him if he didn't save him.That being the case, for such a thing as an opportunity, once, there is one more time, so why waste it in vain.

The snowflake tassels on the carriage could already see the fine lines, and the four flew down.The guards who followed the carriage reacted in an instant, and immediately fought together.Pedestrians scattered around screaming, Li Aniu and the others were tens of steps away, they were stunned for a moment, and immediately shouted, "Who dares to commit murder in the street!"Trot and approach here.

It's not good for Gu Xing to think secretly, it's taboo for people in the carriage to leave the palace.This place is in a busy city, if you leak your identity, you will not be able to explain clearly when you go back, but there are many assassins coming, and there is nothing you can do if you get entangled all at once, I just hope that the master inside has some brains.

The smile on Xue Ling's face was fleeting, he pulled the cloth up to cover his mouth and nose, took the carriage straight, and split the carriage in two with his long sword.The two master and servant hugged inside were exposed to the broad daylight, shouting desperately, and a profile face was enough to turn all living beings upside down.Xue Ling was just stunned for a moment, the sword did not change, and went straight to the throat of that charming lady.

Li A Niu has already arrived, just in time to block Xue Ling's sword.He pulled the pale Xue Se behind him, pointed at Xue Ling and said, "Where is the villain?"The patrolmen had already followed up and surrounded several people tightly.

The little maid seemed to have gained confidence, and shouted: "My wife is the Queen Xue in the palace. These people are assassinating the royal family. Hurry up and take them down."

Xue Ling didn't know how Xue'er in Mei Niang's room changed and sat in the carriage.However, Huo Yunsheng didn't appear.A few pawns are not worth mentioning, but Li A Niu really learned something.

The little maid seemed to be afraid that others would not know, so she desperately shouted "Come on".It's a pity that Gu Xing was so entangled that he couldn't leave him, otherwise he would have chopped off the maid first.

After Xue Ling finished probing, his movements suddenly became anxious.Li A Niu is only a few months away, how can he compare with Xue Ling's more than ten years of skill.In a blink of an eye, he was forced to retreat step by step, and he did enough to act, Xue Ling's heart was hardened, the long sword pierced through his chest, and Li A Niu fell to the ground with blood gushing like a spring.

Xue Ling had already thought of Huo Yunwan's purpose.If Huo Yunsheng comes out, send him back to make Wei Lang suspicious, if Huo Yunsheng doesn't come, let Xue Se die on the spot, completely eliminating the Huo family's desire to go back.The maid who yelled so loudly just now was probably arranged by Huo Yunwan.

The whole street knew that there was an empress in the carriage, and Huo Yunsheng was close at hand but did not save him. Even if he survived, it would be impossible for him to regain the post of commander of the Imperial Forest Guard.With Huo Yunsheng's character, if he appeared on the street, he probably wouldn't bet that others wouldn't find him nearby.

Xue Ling stepped on Li A Niu, this injury will not kill him.Either kill Xuese, or Huo Yunsheng will come out immediately and she will leave.in time.

The maid was still shouting, "This is the empress in the palace, you will be imprisoned by the nine clans."There is still blood on Xue Ling's sword, and a one-sided relationship is just a one-sided relationship.She closed her eyes for a moment, hoping she didn't see too much.

The sword didn't cut flesh and blood, Huo Yunsheng still stopped in front of him, but fortunately Xue Ling opened his eyes quickly.Otherwise, she would inevitably be injured. She didn't want to fight Huo Yunsheng here, so she retreated quickly.In addition, a large number of imperial guards had begun to surround them, and their running was normal. When they blew their whistle, they were told to leave.

Just as Xue Ling thought, Huo Yunsheng waited and watched for a while, but decided to come out.He didn't expect that father's news was wrong, that is to say, Yun Wan's news was wrong.

For no reason, he definitely couldn't follow the carriage coming out of the palace, but early in the morning, my father received a letter saying that the emperor seemed to be sneaking out of the palace to meet someone, and he specially found a concubine as a cover, and there were not many people with him.As far as the Huo family is concerned, what Wei Lang is doing now is something to be wary of, and finally Huo Yunsheng decided to come and see for himself.

The main reason is that since it is inconvenient for Wei Lang to make a big show, it will not be too embarrassing even if he is discovered. After all, there are always encounters between Beijing and China, and the emperor has no reason to pursue it. He even wore casual clothes on purpose.This journey was very normal, and the situation was the same as what was stated in the letter. Simple clothes, three or four entourages, all the way to the suburbs, he couldn't help but make him more curious, where the emperor was going.

Unexpectedly, there would be an assassin on the way. He was still considering whether to show up, but suddenly found that the car was not the emperor, but a concubine.It is really muddy water for the concubine to leave the palace alone.Let's not talk about what went wrong, but it's not convenient for me to join in. Recently, there has been a rift between the Huo family and the emperor, and my father advocates a tougher attitude. He is afraid that he will use this matter to make a fuss, and Longyan will be even more angry.

I wanted to take another look before making plans, but I didn't expect that among the followers, only one was good at it, not to mention the ones patrolling the streets, the so-called empress was about to die on the spot.After thinking about it again and again, I had to stand up.There are so many people on the street, if someone recognizes me, it will be impossible to wash it away.The harm of the two powers is equal, as long as one assassin is caught and the mastermind behind the scenes is tortured.

Seeing that Xue Ling and the others were about to leave, he said, "Just keep one."

Gu Xing knew Huo Yunsheng well, and he didn't shy away from it, saying: "Listen to Master Huo".Anyway, the maid shouted so loudly, it was pointless to cover it up.

Xue Ling took advantage of the situation and rolled into Tao Ji, scaring the men to flee in all directions.She hoped that Huo Yunsheng would come after her, but this time she failed.Huo Yunsheng was protecting Xue Se, and the lone star entangled a person, and several guards rushed forward, regardless of the others who escaped.

After waiting for a while, Xue Ling saw that there was still no one behind him, so he could only leave first.

When Huo Yunsheng cleaned up the mess, Li Aniu was still angry, and those who patrolled the street with him had already stopped the bleeding.Gu Xing took out a bag of silver and threw it down, "Take it back and have a look."

After this incident, naturally he couldn't go out of the city anymore, the carriage was also broken, Gu Xing sent someone to buy it, and helped the master and servant of Xuese to the inn that was already surrounded by the imperial guards.The servant girl held Huo Yunsheng tightly and said with horror on her face, "Master Huo, you must escort my mother back to the palace."

Gu Xing stood aside and watched Yulinwei grab the innkeeper and question him, and the group of businessmen were naturally driven downstairs.It will be a short while, but I can't ask anything.Fortunately, there is still a job to do.The hidden guards were always doing everything, including watching women for the emperor.He glanced at Xue Se, not knowing whether it was good luck or bad luck.If it's good, it won't happen, if it's bad, at least I didn't lose my life here, and I probably won't lose my life when I go back.The emperor is a face-saving person. If he allows his own woman to leave the palace, he will find a way to cover it up.It was that little maid who was stupid and didn't know it.

Xue Ling took off his coat in a secluded place, and wanted to go back to Xue's house quickly, but his tongue was hot all the way, remembering that he still had a happy death in his stomach, so he could only go to Jiang's house first.

Jiang Yufeng was already waiting, but he didn't see those people.Xue Ling didn't know if they were all gone, so he asked after taking the medicine.Jiang Yufeng pointed to the box on the table and said, "There is one more."

Xue Ling saw that it was exactly the same as the antidote she had just taken, and was speechless for a moment.She doesn't cherish human life at all, let alone taking people's money, but just like facing Xue Se, there is always a momentary stagnation in her mind to overcome.

I still don't know why this habit is, obviously, she doesn't care.

"Find a set of dresses for the maids in your house."Xue Ling reached out to remove the hair crown. No one in Beijing knew him, but it was always safer to be a daughter.It's better to change in Jiangfu and then go back.

Jiang Yufeng also knew it well, and went out to give some instructions to his servants.He came back and said, "How do you think Wei Lang will handle this matter?"

Xue Ling also pulled off the fake Adam's apple stuck to his throat, threw it on the table and said, "I guess that dog in Wei Lang wants to kill him quickly, but on the surface he wants to confess to Huo Yunsheng."

"Are you going to Xianbei next?"

"Yes".Xue Ling untied his belt, feeling that his breathing became easier, looked at Jiang Yufeng and said, "But don't worry, I have to wait for the results and see today's results, so that Huo Zhun can get closer to Tuoba Mian first, To avoid suspicion in the future."

What Jiang Yufeng sent someone to bring was not the servant's clothes, but a set of exquisitely crafted daughter's dress, I don't know where it came from, but it didn't fit her figure, it was a little too small.Xue Ling tossed about in the back room for a while, feeling that he couldn't breathe under his body, so he didn't have time to stay in Jiangfu for dinner, so naturally he didn't meet Xue Li.But when she walked out of the gate of Jiangfu, she suddenly thought of Huo Yunwan's matter, and she panicked.

Whether the queen's position is good or not, I'm afraid most people agree, but Huo Yunwan just feels bad, not only thinks it's bad, but also wishes to regret it later.Today I thought I was helping Li A Niu wholeheartedly, but I never asked him if he wanted it or not.What if he doesn't want to use that sword in exchange for a smooth career.The more Xue Ling thought about it, the more anxious he was, and regardless of the fact that his clothes didn't fit him, he made a detour to Li Aniu's residence.But there was no one inside, and the big brother Guo was nowhere to be seen.She thought that her own attack should not be fatal, but in a hurry, she couldn't be sure.No matter where the injury is, excessive bleeding will kill people, did those people come in time to save Li Aniu?Is it a little hard to step on that foot behind me?

She suddenly felt that she had returned to the fishing village of Ming County, watching the sky burnt red, but there was nothing she could do.

Huo Yunsheng had already arrived in the palace with the carriage, he didn't really want to follow, but the little maid kept asking, he was only a courtier, and he could not disobey the order of a concubine.The other guard was also pleading, saying that he couldn't take it if there was another problem on the road.He had never seen this guard before, and he didn't know which palace it belonged to. After all, he belonged to the emperor, and there would be no good end if offended.Reluctantly, he bit the bullet and walked into the palace gate.

The little maid is naturally Huo Yunwan's person, and she is not stupid at all. Some people know that they are going to die, and they are happy to die.Thanks to Gu Xing who has been on business for so long, he didn't turn the corner today.

As Lone Star dragged Huo Yunsheng, he naturally hoped that more than one person would be responsible. Being assassinated was not a fault, but revealing his identity was a fault.If Dora is alone, his own faults will be smaller.What's more, this matter is clearly strange, whoever spends a lot of effort to assassinate a harem concubine is still an insignificant lady.

After Chen Wang died, Wei Lang and Huo Yunsheng hadn't seen each other for a long time, and when they met each other, they didn't mention their feelings, and their faces were still full of warmth.Wei Lang said: "Yunsheng will come here all right."

Huo Yunsheng replied, "Your Majesty, live forever."

Wei Lang pretended to say: "I was a fool once, and I laughed at it."

Huo Yunsheng begged to resign, and said, "Your Majesty's family affairs, the ministers dare not speak rashly. I'm afraid that the person who came here didn't mean to be with the empress. Fortunately, there is a living, and it will be clarified after the trial."

Wei Lang was a little surprised, but he didn't expect to be alive.When the person who came down just announced the time, he only listened to a few words before thinking about something, and he probably missed it.

Xue Se is a maid in Huo Yunwan's palace, although she noticed it recently, there seems to be no relationship between the two of them.However, there are always places in this palace beyond the reach of eyes and ears.What a coincidence, the person sent by the empress was going out of the palace, what a coincidence, someone was assassinated, what a coincidence, the empress' brother happened to be present.He also yelled that the whole world knew that the Huo family's young master saved a lady.So many coincidences made the Huo family catch up.No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem real.

But having a living is another way of saying it. After trying all 72 instruments of torture in the prison, you can always ask for something.Could it be such a coincidence?
Telling Huo Yunsheng to retreat, knocking the table twice, Gu Xing stood up dripping with cold sweat.As soon as he came back, he naturally returned to his master, but Huo Yunsheng came too fast, and he hadn't had time to report them one by one.No matter what, today's incident was a complete mess, and his life and death were unpredictable.

Wei Lang asked first: "Is there a living?"

Gu Xing said: "Yes, Huo Yunsheng's order, don't chase other people, just catch them alive. The martial arts of the comers are not weak, and it is already difficult for a small one to deal with one of them..."

He wanted to continue talking, but Wei Lang interrupted him: "You push it quickly, how did you reveal your identity?"

"The assassin killed someone beside the empress, and the little maid thought she was frightened."

"Dead?"

"It's probably not dead. The little one was still alive before he left, but it's hard to tell if he's bleeding too much."

"There just happened to be a street patroller, and Huo Yunsheng happened to be there."

"The little one has ordered someone to investigate. The survivors are also being interrogated. I'm afraid that someone with a heart may think that the master is in the carriage."

"Forget it, I was careless, go and check that little maid too, you can do it."It is rare for Wei Lang to admit his mistakes. Firstly, a living confession has not come out, and secondly, if someone is scheming, it is normal for his subordinates to not guard against it.

Gu Xing heaved a sigh of relief, he had missed the maid just now, but in retrospect, he shouted a little deliberately.Fortunately, the master didn't embarrass himself.Just about to do it, a little eunuch hurried in and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, it's not good, all the people in Xueniang's womb were bestowed to death by the concubine, and the lady..."

"Toffee?" Wei Lang hurried to Yaoguang Hall, Xue Se was low in status, so naturally he couldn't be divided into palaces.Back then, he was wary of Queen Huo Yunwan, so he randomly chose a concubine to live in the palace.Just now I was wondering if it was Huo Yunwan's game for Huo Yunsheng and Huo Zhun, but I don't know what kind of fun his good mother is joining in this meeting.He had an intuition that there was something wrong with that little maid. People in the palace would not know the crime of the concubine leaving the palace without permission, and they were still yelling in the street. I'm afraid it's not that simple.This time he said that he was going to die, and if someone wanted to silence him, a three-year-old would probably not believe it.But the person who did it shouldn't be the concubine.

Wei Lang was still one step too late, the servants in the Xuese Palace had all turned into bruises, bleeding to death from their seven orifices, and the corpses had not been disposed of yet.Xue Se knelt on the ground and shivered, seeing Wei Lang approaching, she only looked at him with pleading eyes, and didn't even dare to shout.Concubine Shu was sitting in the center of the hall, holding a bowl of tea, without looking sideways.Wei Lang bowed respectfully for a long time, and then lazily shouted, "Excuse me, if Ai's family is really safe, I won't come here to see these pickled things at night."

Wei Lang looked at Xue Se who was kneeling beside him, regardless of whether she was in collusion or not, but this meeting cannot be left to others to deal with. Speaking of it, what is the majesty of the emperor?Said: "It was my son's fault, it has nothing to do with Xue Se."

Concubine Shu had an angry look on her face, and said: "You feel sorry for her. The emperor accepts his concubine, marrying virtue and leisure, but the heirs of the harem are withered, and you like it, and Ai's family will not stop you. It's better today, run to the street and call Wanmin watched the royal jokes. When I go to court tomorrow, I don’t know why the ministers criticized the law. What face do I have to offer incense to the late emperor.”

"What the concubine taught me is that the son is confused."

"Confused? How can the emperor be confused? It's not the disaster caused by these women in the harem. Those who kept talking, the Ai family cleaned up for the emperor. The emperor's own people, the Ai family kept them for the emperor to deal with. It's poison." It’s Ling, the emperor chooses one. It’s over earlier, tomorrow’s Aijia will lose face and admit the crime of ineffective governance of the harem, so that the history books will not say that the emperor is licentious.”

Wei Lang knew very well that there had been a lot of discord between mother and son this year because of the Huang family's affairs, but he didn't want to be so aggressive tonight.What's more, it's about an assassination, it should be investigated clearly, but the concubine mother only wants the person to die, and even kills all the people under her before she comes. Just because of the word "fame", it really doesn't make sense .

He still had to save the person first, and said: "Mother and concubine, Xue Se is also a filial piety, my son can't bear it."

"A piece of filial piety? She has a piece of filial piety. The emperor has it. After this incident happened in the harem, Ai's family is still there. I'm afraid no one will say that the queen's rule is not strict, but that Ai's family is unethical. How can the emperor tell Ai's family to be free?" where?" Dowager Shu placed the tea bowl heavily on the table beside her.

At this time, there are servants by my side, even if it is my biological mother, I still want to be called the emperor.Concubine Shu was openly angry, and Wei Lang responded a bit, saying: "Concubine Mother, someone dares to assassinate a member of the royal family, my son has to investigate carefully before making a conclusion. Xue Se was allowed to leave the palace, it is not her fault , I also ask the queen mother to let her son stay for a few days, and I will definitely give the mother an explanation. It is getting late, so I ask the mother to go back first."

Concubine Shu paused, and said: "Okay, the emperor is old, and the Ai family can't be closed anymore. Tomorrow, I will hand over all the affairs of the harem to the queen, and find a Buddhist room to stay in, and it will be clean."After saying that, he walked away.

Wei Lang's mouth moved, he couldn't pronounce the sentence "respectfully send off mother and concubine", and his body stood up straight.

When Concubine Shu walked away, Xue Se called out "Your Majesty" tremblingly.

Wei Lang ordered the eunuchs who followed him to clean up the ground, let the snow look brighter and they went inside the house, with a different smile from the past, and said with a cold face: "Who knows about your leaving the palace."

Xue Se knelt down on the ground again, not daring to look up, tremblingly said: "No...no one knows."

Wei Lang emphasized his tone: "Are you sure? Where are the servants in the palace?"

"Last night, the emperor made a promise, and the concubines were very happy. They wanted to prepare more for mother...mother... I have never been out of Yaoguang Palace today, and I have never seen anyone. I have never mentioned it to my servants. Fang who went out together green…..".Xuese couldn't restrain herself from crying, Fang Qing was the first one to die just now, she neither dared nor could stop her. "Fangqing... don't even know... where to go."

This kind of thing can be known as soon as you check it, and it doesn't look like Xuese is lying. Wei Lang thought for a moment, could it be that Xuese mentioned it before, and someone noticed it, and he asked: "Before this? Can you tell someone?" Said about it?"

"Nor...never. The sisters and sisters in the palace...don't like courtiers and concubines."

Xuese's status is too low, and he has been petting a lot lately, Wei Lang knows a thing or two about the harem situation, and can't find any doubts, only Huo Yunwan is left
"Where's the queen? Have you been to her recently? What did you say?"

"I've been there several times. The queen gave me something, and the concubine was her servant. I went to thank you, but there is no more."

"Think about it first, if there's anything you missed, I'll talk to you tomorrow." Seeing Xue Se, Wei Lang couldn't ask anything, this is stupid, and sometimes it can kill you.

He was about to leave, but Xue Se crawled over and grabbed the hem of his clothes and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not stay here."He said and looked out the door in panic.

The corpses outside had actually been moved away, and there was nothing left.But it was the first time Xuese saw so many dead people, and the Yaoguang Palace was empty, the only thing she could count on was the emperor in front of her, lest he would leave herself here.

Wei Lang was annoyed, he really likes beauty, so to say he is obsessed, it would be too serious.If this matter was not caused by Xue Se's collusion with others, he would treat her as stupid and just bear with it.If it is found out, I'm afraid it will be easier for the Queen Mother to kill him.But no matter what, he is not in the mood to coax a fool here tonight, no matter how beautiful it is.Without even saying a word, he left Yaoguang Palace directly.

The lights in Yongchun Palace were still on, Huo Yunwan was fiddling with an exquisite box, took out a handful of golden melon seeds and slowly sprinkled them back, listening to the crackling sound was particularly pleasant.It is just on the air, and it will take some time before it can be sprinkled into the hands of those who should sprinkle it.

The dead can't speak, but they can bite. You have to find someone with a higher level of morality to seal it. The tallest person in this palace is only Concubine Shu.However, fortunately, she has not lived forever, and she is just short of such a dead man making meatballs to eat, and she will be consummated.

The news Xue Ling wanted came quickly. Although Huo Yunsheng had not been reinstated, he only had an extra adverb. The current commander of the Imperial Guard is also from the Huo family, so there is no difference.

And the empress who made a lot of noise, not only did not enter the cold palace, but became a role model for the common people.Without him, only filial piety.

When Wei Lang returned from Xue Se's place, the servants came to report that he had died of poisonous hair. Coincidentally, Master Huo was also there.Since then, the witnesses and witnesses have died cleanly.There is nothing wrong with the owner of the inn outside the palace and the caravan, and they can only be released after being locked up for a few days.

No matter how you look at it, there is something wrong with the Huo family, but the concubine joined in.What's more, when he went to court on the second day, Wei Lang thought that the people belonging to the Huo family were the most troublesome, probably forcing him to hand over the power of the Imperial Forest Army to Huo Yunsheng.This can also explain the reason for this matter.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the Huang family, and everyone said that the snowy color was immoral, causing trouble in the harem, and should not stay.In fact, it just implies that he is obsessed with beauty and corrupts Chaogang.In the current world, Wei Lang has to say a few words to himself, all goodness and filial piety come first.An orphan girl disregarded her reputation and paid filial piety to her mother. As a son of man, I deeply felt her heart. I didn't consider it thoroughly for a while, and people who cared about it got in the way, and my reputation through the ages was ruined.This is the only explanation that can stop Youyou from talking.

After all, that group of people practiced the way of Confucius and Mencius, and respected etiquette, benevolence and filial piety.

Sure enough, they looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one said no. They all said that it was normal, but it was inevitable. In the end, they suggested that it would be better to be open and honest, so as not to spread rumors among the people.Wei Lang thinks so.

If no one said that the post of empress dowager had been vacant for more than three years.

Now that the previous empress has gone, it is time to enshrine the birth mother of the current emperor as empress dowager and enjoy the blessings of the world.Since the emperor has the heart to promote filial piety, it is better to lead by example.

"Certainly, let the Ministry of Rites draw up a title, and then choose an auspicious day, and ask Concubine Shu to be the queen mother. Stay in Deshou Palace."

The eunuch shouted: "Retire without incident~".

The people at the bottom knelt together, and Wei Lang could only see the top of his hat from above. There should be one-fifth of the Huang family.

This matter is not that simple.No wonder the servants of the first palace of Yaoguang Palace were anxious to die that night, and they were waiting here together?Today, he was forced to take the position of queen mother, but tomorrow, should he think of a way to listen to the government behind the curtain?
It took some time to prepare for the ceremony, but the Ministry of Rituals acted quickly and sent several titles to Concubine Shu in the afternoon.They are all good words for auspiciousness and wealth, and in the end it was decided to be holy, compassionate and noble.When the harem concubines came to pay their respects the next morning, they had already changed their words.

The Empress Dowager Shengci Zhaoshu stretched out her hand above and said: "Get up, don't have to talk about it all. After all, the matter of the Sixth Palace is watched by the Empress. I mourn my family and enjoy a peaceful life."

Xue Ling received a box, an extremely precious red gold sinking wood, with its own fragrance, and when you put your fingers on it, there is a lot of smell, which lasts for a long time.The higher-ups owed beautiful jade and precious stones, all of which were of great value.When I opened it, it was empty inside, only a piece of cheap straw paper with the words "returning the pearl" written on it.

Buy a box and return the pearl?
