Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 132 I Could Have (Part Two)
According to Gu Cuo's meaning, even Ning Xiuyuan would not be able to trust him.

Since the assassin was in ambush there, he got the news early in the morning that Ning Xiuyuan and the others would do this.Anyone who knows the arrangement of this trip is suspicious.

What's more, Ning Xiuyuan seems to be on good terms with Bai Xing on weekdays, but his position above the court is vague, and he is not in the Queen's camp.

Going deeper, he is a person who is used to fishing in troubled waters... For example, the previous marriage of the Yang family.

It is really possible to say that this assassin was arranged by him.

It's just that in Yanjing City, I really don't have the right to speak. I'm afraid it will take a lot of trouble if I want to keep the assassin for interrogation. It's not as effective as Ning Xiuyuan's words.

In this way, reluctantly, it is considered cooperation.When the person left, he began to make three chapters, "One thing to say, although I am grateful to Lord Ning for his help. If Lord Ning wants to interrogate, there is nothing wrong with it, but we must let us finish the trial first. At that time, I will personally deliver him to Lord Ning. how?"

"This is not a child's play." Ning Xiuyuan shook his head, disapproving, "If it is a professional assassin, it is extremely difficult to interrogate something. If it is really a person of Taoism, there must be something between the court behind it. The more you know, the worse it is for you."

The two people who were more or less at odds with each other at that time were sitting together in a friendly and strange harmony.

"Even if I don't interrogate, the matter will be exposed?"

"Ning Xiuyuan, you don't know that the assassin killed the wrong person. You were in there for a long time, but nothing happened. Why did the assassin come out as soon as this girl entered... Have you ever thought about it?" One possibility is that the person he received the order to kill was You Lingxi. It's just that he misidentified the person."

The hand on the stone table trembled slightly.In the crevices of the manicured and rounded nails, there were faint dark red bloodstains.

A sharp burning sensation.

On the way back, he kept thinking about this question. When Ji Wuyan first came to Yanjing City, even if he caused some troubles, they were small troubles that would not lead to death. This assassin was obviously targeting his own group of people. of.

It was a coincidence to meet by chance, and it was also a coincidence to go together, but the assassin passed himself and Bai Xing in the advanced courtyard, and only waited for Ji Wuyan to enter before making a move. Obviously, it could not be a coincidence.

This person was going to kill You Lingxi.

It's just that You Lingxi is a little girl from every family, so how can it be worth spending so much time to be targeted?
"Because of the You family."

The voice came from the door, very soft, panting, and weak.

The two turned their heads together, and the girl at the door was wearing a plain white dress, crookedly leaning against the door frame, her small face was as pale and bloodless as the white dress.

Ning Xiuyuan's fingertips trembled slightly, only feeling the burning pain in the blood-stained spot.

He sat without moving, his eyes darkened.

Gu Cuo got up and greeted him, "Why did you get out of bed, Chen Laoqian reminded me to give birth to a good child, you are not joking this time, you didn't see Chen Lao's eyes, don't you these days Disobey him. Let you lie down, don't get up, don't walk around."

"It's okay... it just hurts badly." She coquettishly and softly, with a bitter face, she still had the usual witty energy, and she was sickly.

As a result, Gucuo's heart seemed to have a hole, and the wind began to leak out.

Although this girl is usually tossing and worrying, how has she ever suffered such an injury?Even if I practiced martial arts before, it was mostly a matter of bumps and bumps. Occasionally, when I got bruised and purple, I would bluff and say it hurts.

She was very afraid of pain, a cut on her fingertip would make everyone in Zhuangzi know about it, so she raised her finger high to look for Mr. Chen, and when she found it, the wound was healed.

She was also afraid of scars, so she went to see Mr. Chen every day after falling on her knee, worrying about scars.Even repeated reassurances are useless, until the last trace is invisible, I can be regarded as relieved.

He remembered these things, and Mr. Chen also remembered them.

When he bandaged her just now, the old man's hands were trembling and his lips were trembling.Say distressed.

But this girl, after coming to Yanjing City, became rougher and rougher, rough and perfunctory with herself, and muddled along.There is some worrying anger in his temper.

It doesn't look strange, but if you look closely, there are strange things everywhere.

He felt distressed, and helped her to walk in. She hesitated to speak, obviously still struggling with the problem just now, so Gucuo had no choice but to call Ning Xiuyuan into the room to discuss.

In the room, the strong smell of medicine came to the nostrils, and Ning Xiuyuan's face turned pale again when he walked to the door, the degree of paleness was probably comparable to that of Ji Wuyan at the moment.

He is blaming himself.

He blamed himself for not being more careful and sensitive when he was in the yard, for not being aware of the existence of the assassin earlier.

I blamed myself for having to say those ambiguous words, which disturbed Ji Wuyan's mood at that time and made her perception of danger a little slower.

He blamed himself even more for putting Ji Feng on the ground and letting him run towards Ji Wuyan...

He blamed himself for these erroneous "I could have" and couldn't extricate himself, sat silently by the table, all eyes were the bright red blood on her water-colored clothes, and the fingertips resting on her knees were all Trembling, he didn't even have the courage to look directly at her.

But Ji Wuyan didn't know about his complicated mental activities. He just lay on the bed and looked at Ning Xiuyuan who was sitting far away, and said, "I think it should be the real Taoism. There were so many people in the city a while ago. Master You of Dali Temple is responsible for the murder case."

"Taoism and religion have already suffered indiscriminate disasters, and now they have been crowned with these wrongful cases... The so-called dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, and the rabbit bites people in a hurry, this religion..."

Having said that, she stopped to take a few breaths, and the ancient house suddenly heard the medicine ordered by Chen, "You lie down for a while, and I will fetch the medicine."

"I don't want to drink." She pursed her mouth, and complained with a pitiful look, "The prescriptions prescribed by Mr. Chen in the past two years have become more and more bitter, and I can't swallow them at all..."

"No, good medicine tastes bitter." Gu Cuo, who is very talkative, insisted on this matter, "It should be bitter, so that next time you act, you won't be so reckless."

Obviously... this injury shouldn't be suffered.

He went out to fetch medicine.

There were only two people left in the room, and one of them sat motionless at the table like a sculpture.

I didn’t feel it when I was talking, but once I stopped now, my attention returned to the wound, and the pain became more and more obvious. I don’t know if it was dragged again when I got out of bed just now, so I just found a topic Breaking the dullness, "Where's Ziqiu?"

"I was there to serve. Master Song came to talk about the case. She said that it was inconvenient for her to listen, so she went to Mr. Chen to help brew the medicine... Me, do you want me to call her?"
