Chapter 147
Shen Liuzhen trotted all the way, just stepped through a door, when he passed Gong's room, he suddenly remembered something, and turned back again.

At the door of Gong's room stood a guard's saber.It was estimated that some guard was shitting inside, so he put the knife outside.

Shen Liuzhen looked around... The vicinity of the library itself is quiet, except for the patrolling guards, the guards who usually stand guard are guarding the fixed intersection and will not come over at all.

This time is not the time for the patrol to pass by.

Relieved, he walked over cautiously, picked up the knife, drew out the blade, looked at his own shadow reflected on the reflective forging surface, licked his lips nervously, and compared it to his own. neck...

Shen Liuzhen raised his neck and closed his eyes, compared the blade of the knife to his own neck with one hand, gritted his teeth to make up his mind, wanted to make a cut, but was timid, afraid that the knife would be too fast, and he would not be able to grasp the strength , and then really stabbed himself to death.

Just like this stalemate, the skin of the blade against the neck was chilly, and when he couldn't move for a long time, the sound of the bucket being closed came from Gong's room, and there was a "click".

Shen Liuzhen was startled, his hands trembled, he quickly put down the knife, quickly put it back into the scabbard, put it back in its original position, and ran away.

After passing through a door, he was relieved when he saw that no one was chasing him. He felt a little itchy on his neck, subconsciously raised his hand to touch it, and felt pain... Looking at his finger again, ah, it was bleeding.

Shen Liuzhen pursed her lips and snickered, revealing her dimples - isn't this just right, this is what I want!

So he quickly covered the wound on his neck and walked towards Zong Ai.

Taishi means... the emperor's teacher, so he is naturally qualified to be alone in a room in the palace.

What's more, Zong Ai used to be Shi Yu Foli's confidant, and the eunuchs and maids in the palace were basically his people, and he even set up a small yamen directly in the palace.

That's where Shen Liuzhen went.

In fact, there was no grand master in Wei before.The State of Wei was an imperial court established by the Xianbei people. In the power structure of the Hu people, martial arts have always been respected, and there is no need for the position of grand master.

But they established a foothold in the territory of the Han people in the north. When they had to switch from nomadism to farming and learn to govern, they had this series of official systems, and they generally followed the official system of the Han Dynasty.

Even so, the position of grand master has been vacant since the founding of Wei State because of its revered meaning, and no one has taken it up.

It can be regarded as the self-esteem of the Xianbei people when they faced the Han people. Even the teacher of the prince and prince, at most, is the prince and grand master, and there is no such position as a prince and grand master.

In order to fight for power, Zong Ai forged a will to show his respect for his status, and proclaimed himself a grand master.

On this point, it is rare for the Xianbei nobles to compromise like this.But it's very possible that they really didn't put Zong Ai in their eyes, so they just messed with him casually.

Shen Liuzhen entered the courtyard door, glanced back at the door, found enough panic atmosphere for himself, and then walked in silently.

At that time, Zong Ai was teaching a young eunuch a lesson, and the person who was reprimanding him was ashamed and pale.

Out of the corner of his eye, he could see Shen Liuzhen covering his neck with one hand, lowering his head slightly, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, his eyes flickering in panic, looking back from time to time, but he didn't say anything.

Zong Ai was attracted attention all of a sudden, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Shen Liuzhen covered his neck, looked at the little eunuch with his eyes, and said with a trembling voice, "I have something to say to Grand Master...in private."

Shen Liuzhen's appearance was originally very soft and waxy, with a pair of big eyes, coupled with small dimples that appeared from time to time, and a sweet smile, harmless to humans and animals.

If it wasn't for the natural advantage of his appearance, so many people wouldn't be fooled by him.

For example, when Zong Ai looked at him now, he felt that his panicked appearance was especially pitiful and distressing, and a desire to protect suddenly arose in his heart.

He raised his eyebrows, raised his sharp voice, and asked angrily:
"What's wrong? Did that He'an find someone to bully you again?"

Shen Liuzhen glanced back again, his wide sleeves swayed with his body, and said in a low voice: "No, it's something else."

Zong Ai finally felt that something was wrong, waved his hand to make everyone in the hall retreat, walked over and asked:

"What's the matter, after all... why are you always covering your neck?"

Shen Liuzhen's eyes followed the people who went out, and he never looked at Zong Ai, as if he was afraid of being heard by others. Seeing that everyone was empty, he said nervously:
"My lord, something serious happened. I was injured by two guards in the palace. Look..."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and let out a very thin gash of blood.

Zong Ai's eyes shrank, and when he was about to curse out loud, Shen Liuzhen stopped him by pressing his arm:

"Hush... Keep your voice down so that no one can hear you. I haven't said anything important yet..."

Seeing that Zong Ai was no longer speaking, Shen Liuzhen trembled and whispered:

"Today I was sorting out books in the library, and I heard two guards passing by outside. They spoke in Xianbei. I learned a little in private, and I understood a little..."

He said, and leaned closer to Zong Ai's ear again: "It seems that on the day when they were preparing for the autumn hunting, when the emperor was out of the palace, they wanted to assassinate you, Grand Master..."

When Zong Ai heard this, she looked at Shen Liuzhen in shock, stared at his eyeballs, gritted her teeth, and remained silent.

Shen Liuzhen glanced at him, with a bitter face, a pair of big eyes contradictory, looking like he was about to cry, and said anxiously:

"...Maybe I heard it wrong. After all, I'm not good at learning Xianbei... But after they found me, they put a knife on my neck and almost killed me. I was trying to get wise and pretended not to understand Xianbei. , Only then escaped a catastrophe... It can be seen that even if it is not aimed at you, Grand Master, it is by no means a good thing!"

Shen Liuzhen shook Zong Ai's hand in panic, and said, "My lord, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case, or you should hide."

Zong Ai looked at Shen Liuzhen, the expression of shock and doubt in his eyes gradually turned into panic.Knowing that she had lied to him, Shen Liuzhen finally let go of her anxiety.

Zong Ai withdrew his gaze, and paced back and forth in the hall, panicking.

After a while, he stood still, raised his head and looked outside, and said viciously: "In this case, our family can only act first..."

Shen Liuzhen was afraid that his secret joy would show on his expression, so he quickly took the opportunity to turn his head again, glanced outside uneasily, trembling all over.

He covered his neck, his big eyes glistened with water, and said pitifully, "Grand Master... I'm afraid they will come back to their senses and kill me... Then what should I do?"
