"Did you see who it was from?"
Lu Jinxi stood up immediately and asked.
The guard shook his head: "The sky is too dark to see clearly. But looking at it, it doesn't seem to be the Janissary..."
"what……"
Everyone in the room turned pale.
Even Lu Jinxi's head was buzzing, and she was dizzy for a while, and she almost couldn't stand up: "Go and have a look, be more careful!"
So the guard went again.
The cowardly maids in the room were crying lowly at this moment.
Lu Jinxi felt a little irritable when she heard this, but she didn't stop drinking. She just stared at the door in the yard for people to come in and out, with no expression on her face.
Soon, the guard came back.
This time, he ran back quickly, with the ecstasy on his face that he was worried about. As he ran, he shouted, "The one sent back by Mr. Meng, the one sent back by Mr. Meng!"
At this moment, Lu Jinxi's heart fell back.
She went limp and fell back into the chair.
Immediately following the guard, it turned out to be a group of soldiers dressed differently from the imperial guards. The leader was not someone else, but Yin Liu'er, who had been recommended by Lu Jinxi to go to Liu Jin's Falcon Camp in the past.
Now it's time to call Lu Yin.
Wearing a suit of armor, he bowed down and bowed to Lu Jinxi, clasped his fists and said, "I saw Mrs. Meng at the end of the day, and I received an order from Mr. Meng, asking you to enter the palace with His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince. The matter has been settled, please also ask. You and everyone in the Grand Master's Mansion don't have to worry. It's just that there are still some remnants outside, so it's better not to wander outside for the time being."
"Won?"
Lu Jinxi was still in a trance.
The smile on Yin Liu'er's face became more obvious, and he grinned and replied, "We won."
Suddenly there was cheers in the house.
Lu Jinxi sat in the seat for a while before suddenly laughing, her eyes were covered with a moist glow, and she didn't realize that her hands were shaking a little until she got up.
"How is your lord, do you know?"
"This..." Yin Liu'er was stunned for a moment, rubbed his head, a little embarrassed, "I was in a hurry when I left, but I didn't have time to see it. I was only sent by Mr. Meng and came here, and I don't know the specific situation."
"Enter the palace immediately."
Lu Jinxi's body was a little chilled without getting the news she wanted from Yin Liu'er. She gritted her teeth slightly, and walked outside without saying a word.
Yin Liu'er was taken aback by her posture, and hurriedly called someone to follow.
It was only halfway through, and when I remembered that the seventh prince was coming, I stopped again, and after a look in the crowd, I saw Xiao Tingzhi, so he came up again and said, "Please enter the palace."
Xiao Tingzhi recognized Yin Liuer.
Because he remembered that this person was in Xue Kuang's army some time ago, and he was one of the people who followed Xue Kuang to rebel against the crowd.
Now it appears in the Grand Master's Mansion...
Only at this moment, he roughly guessed where Xue Kuang lost, and for Gu Juefei's precise and savory calculation, he suddenly gave birth to a kind of fear.
He was very suspicious of the other party's intention to invite him into the palace.
I just thought about it, if really want to kill him, why would need such a lot of trouble?
So Xiao Tingzhi only glanced at Yin Liu'er, and then walked out directly.
He rode a horse, and Lu Jinxi rode a carriage.
The two of them were escorted by this team of soldiers and passed through the chaotic street. All they saw were scattered lights, and the rest was a deep darkness.
There was a thick smell of blood in the air.
And the smell of gunpowder.
The red-burning sky in the direction of the imperial palace in the distance also darkened, and it was raining lightly.
It was three quarters of Yin Shi when he arrived at Tai Chi Gate.
Lu Jinxi got off the carriage and was going to go directly to the palace gate, but after only two steps, he stopped and looked at the figure sitting casually at the palace gate.
Today and yesterday, they overlapped together.
For those who dare to sit at the Taiji gate like this, the civil and military of the whole dynasty could not find a second person—except for Fang Shaoxing, who was wicked and arrogant and never looked at people righteously, who else could he be?
The heavy armor has been removed and thrown on the ground.
Fang Shaoxing, who was only wearing a blood-stained white robe, sat on the armor rather shyly, tore a slit in his waist and abdomen, and wrapped it up, but the blood still seeped through that layer of snow. come out.
The silver gun was also standing with blood, leaning beside it.
He also carried a small jar of wine in his hand, and the mud seal had already been opened, and he only took it with his left hand and poured it towards the right arm with a knife edge.
"Crash..."
The spirits washed away the wound, washed out a patch of blood, stained the front of his clothes, and made him grin in pain.
Looking at it like this, where is the demeanor of a mighty general?
Lu Jinxi just stopped and watched for a while, then stepped inside again.
She had no intention of talking to Fang Shaoxing.
But Fang Shaoxing saw her, and was not surprised at all, he just raised his eyebrows and looked at her recklessly. When she came over, he raised his hand and held the silver gun next to her to stop her. , smiled: "Who allowed you to pass through here?"
This attitude, this look...
It's the same as it used to be.
When he was demoted as Jin Wuwei to guard the gate of the palace, he also stopped her in this way, with the appearance of the king of the mountain, "I opened this mountain, and I planted this tree".
Fang Shaoxing really doesn't look like a famous general who was on a par with Xue Kuang six or seven years ago... Lu Jinxi glanced at him, and his eyes fell on the wound that cracked because he grabbed the gun again. Coolly persuaded: "General Fang should save some energy and don't toss himself, lest he has earned a lot of glory and wealth, but has no life to enjoy it."
Fang Shaoxing raised his eyebrows again.
But in the end, didn't want to embarrass her, but after two days of fierce battles, was exhausted and panicked. When saw her passing by here, remembered the beginning.
Hearing what she said, he just smiled and withdrew the gun.
Lu Jinxi walked over.
It's just that everyone didn't expect that after she took a few steps forward, she suddenly stopped for some reason. Then he turned around and walked quickly back to Fang Shaoxing's side, grabbed the small jar of wine from his left hand, and took a few sips.
Fang Shaoxing was stunned.
Lu Jinxi only handed the wine jar back to him, took a breath, thanked him, and then strode inside with the smell of wine and heat that suddenly boiled over.
Soon, saw what was inside.
On top of a collapsed ruin, there was a short table with broken corners, a pot of wine and two glasses on the table, with Xue Kuang sitting on one side and Gu Juefei sitting on the other.
Chapter 214 Finale (2)
Before walking in, Lu Jinxi imagined many, many situations in his mind. Maybe Xue Kuang was already dead, or Gu Juefei was also seriously injured and dying.
But she never thought-
It would be such a seemingly peaceful scene.
Half of the Taiji Hall collapsed, and the scattered sparks were also doused by the rain. The short piece of the half of the ruins did not look like a few cases, but more like a section of the imperial case in the past.
The two sat opposite each other without speaking.
Gu Juefei was wearing the azure robe he was used to wearing, with ink-colored bamboo embroidery all over his sleeves, and there were knife wounds and arrow wounds on his back and shoulders, but the blood had stopped flowing.
Xue Kuang was still wearing that heavy armor, and with one hand he slammed the long sword with the rolled-up blade on the ground. It's just different from Gu Juefei's understatement, he is like a killing god who came out of blood, his body is soaked with blood, and together with the rain, he drips into the cracks of the ruins under him.
