Chapter 235

I said, "Why did General Fan say this? I heard a little bit about what happened last night. Wasn't it Concubine Ning who asked someone to deliver a letter from the Feng family? How come Liao Chen was arrested as an assassin?"

"That's right, General Fan, don't rely on our eldest lady! Last night you went to the old palace with our eldest lady. I was worried, so I secretly went up to the roof to wait for my eldest lady. While I was waiting, I heard someone below. Shouting 'Catch the assassin! Catch the assassin!' I looked down, oh! Liao Chen was running in front, with several guards chasing after him, and the arrows were shooting 'swish, swish'! I thought, he can't He's going to be caught. What's the point of revealing what happened to me and the eldest lady? And I think he can't be an assassin. Didn't he follow Mr. Jiang to attend the imperial banquet? ?So I stepped in to help him."

When Xing'er spoke, Fan Li remained unmoved, as if turning a deaf ear, and kept staring at me.

His eyes were calm and sharp, without any trace of gentleness. When Xing'er finished speaking, he remained silent.

Xing'er glanced at me nervously, and was about to speak again when Fan Li suddenly said in a deep voice: "A letter from home? Others don't know who Concubine Ning is, but I know that she is not the real Jiang Ning. What kind of letter from home should I send?" "

I took a deep breath and squinted my eyes at the slowly moving clouds on the horizon.

The wind blew a strand of my hair back and forth on my face, making me feel itchy and annoyed.

I was too lazy to dial, and secretly thought about how to deal with General Fan.

Fan Li continued: "Although Liao Chen ran away, he caught a sneaky eunuch at the scene of the incident. At first, I thought it was Concubine Ning who wanted to deliver some news to Jiang Chujie, but when the banquet ended, It is said that Jiang Chujie didn’t know that something happened to his entourage, so he searched for him for a long time, and finally left in a hurry when he couldn’t find him.”

"Later, according to the eunuch who secretly communicated with him, it was Concubine Ning who asked him to give the letter to Liao Chen. Unexpectedly, as soon as they met, someone shouted to arrest the assassin. Liao Chen took the letter and was about to leave, but He was chased by patrolmen as an assassin, and then Xing'er came out to help him escape."

"If he hadn't escaped and had made it clear on the spot, it would have been nothing. But if he ran away, he would be suspected. Last night, the emperor ordered me to send a message to Jiang Chujie to come back for questioning. I led people to stop his carriage. When he heard that it was Liao Chen who made the noise, he immediately coughed hard. While coughing, he wanted to ask me about the situation at that time, but he couldn't even say a single word. He came out and spit out a mouthful of blood. I looked at his The reaction doesn’t seem to be fake. He really didn’t know what Liao Chen was doing.”

Fan Li frowned and asked me: "Miss Lin, please tell me, since this matter was not done by Jiang Chujie, was it a private communication between Liao Chen and Concubine Ning? Or is there another secret?"

I asked, "What did the Emperor say?"

"The emperor listened to everyone's accounts and said that Mr. Jiang's men have good skills but are really timid, which is why they had these misunderstandings. He asked Mr. Jiang to find the person and get the family letter back. If it is an ordinary family letter, the person Let Mr. Jiang handle it by himself."

"Have you found the letter home?"

"Recovered. It is indeed an ordinary family letter, and the handwriting is also written by Concubine Ning. Although the emperor did not pursue it further, in my opinion, Liao Chen's suspicious behavior has somewhat damaged Concubine Ning's reputation. Jiang Chujie tried his best The scheming sent her to the palace in the hope that she would stand out. If something like this happened, the emperor would inevitably have doubts in his heart. If Jiang Chujie is not happy with this situation, then who will be happy? "

I turned my face and looked at him calmly.

His eyes froze slightly, he paused, and then said word by word: "What did you do when you saw Sun Cairen? The person who called for the assassin at that time was not a patrol guard. Who could it be?"

He glanced at Xing'er and said coldly: "I think Xing'er shouted in a decent way just now."

Xing'er hurriedly said: "I learned how to shout! I learned it!"

Fan Li snorted coldly, ignored him, drove his horse towards me, reached out and grabbed my horse's rein, and said:
"Lin Juanyun, are you doing something? Are you more afraid of your sister being exposed in the palace than your own whereabouts?"

He softened his voice and continued: "In the past, I only thought that she had entered the palace and could not think of any way to break this situation. But what happened last night made Jiang Chujie confused. We want to understand. In fact, if you want to avoid being threatened by Jiang Chujie, you only need to make your sister unfavored. Although she is both talented and beautiful, and somewhat similar to you, it is easy to be favored, but it is also easy for a harem woman to fall out of favor. A How can there be any threat if chess is useless? Don’t you think so?” I asked, “General Fan also likes the art of chess?”

He frowned deeply. Seeing that I was not ready to be honest, he suddenly exerted force on his hand. My horse immediately lowered its head, and my body also leaned forward.

Xing'er immediately stretched out his arm to protect me, and grabbed the reins with his other hand, saying:

"If you have anything to say, General Fan, please let go!"

Fan Li turned his hand and avoided Xing'er's hand. The two exchanged hands several times, the reins were twisted together, and the three horses were crowded together and spinning around.

During this period, Fan Li still said in a deep voice: "Who was that old man who attacked you last time on the grassland outside the pass? He wanted to harm you, why did you protect him? Even the two pickpocketing guys Xiaoliu and Jiawang said nothing to this general. Not to mention, looking at their hesitant looks, I knew it was definitely not a good thing..."

He and Xing'er had jumped off their horses and were fighting.

I rode on the horse and said loudly: "Xiao Liu and Jia Wang are eating my food and getting my wages. If they say anything about me to you casually, that is cheating! General Fan, don't forget, What did you say when you promised to send me two soldiers? Didn’t the great general keep his word?"

Fan Li choked at me and didn't say anything for a while, then punched harder.

It's a pity that he practices hard kung fu, but it is difficult to compare with someone like Xing'er who has great kung fu. No matter how he attacks, Xing'er easily resolves all his moves.

Fan Li was furious and suddenly said: "Last time you were taken away by the Wala people. The Wala people said you left early the next morning. I thought it was the Wala people who were lying first, but you were still there on the fourth day. On the grassland.”

"If I hadn't met you that day, I would have been kept in the dark by you just like Jiang Chujie. You must be lying to me when you say you got lost in a snowy day. You don't live on the grassland. It's been two days, even if you get lost, even if you encounter wind and snow, how can your face be frostbitten? Also, Lin Juanyun, where did you get the roast duck from the capital?..."

The three horses had already calmed down and were grazing with their heads down. I turned over and dismounted and said, "Okay! Xing'er, stop it."

The two stopped, and Fan Li's forehead was glistening with beads of sweat.

I walked over, handed him a handkerchief, and said, "Why does General Fan like to settle old scores?"

Fan Li glanced at the handkerchief and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He raised his hand and gently took it, wiping his forehead unnaturally and said, "I'm worried about you doing something dangerous? Even if you want to do something, at least tell me Me, I will help you."

"You've already helped me."

"I...I'm going to go for a walk somewhere else."

Xing'er raised his hands and moved back, the expression on his face was very meaningful.
