Chapter 45

In an instant, Huayue's mind flashed a series of conditions, such as "take orders from me and monitor the general's mansion for me", "promise with me, and follow me to deviate from the classics" and "exchange the most precious thing on your body", etc. His eyes slowly widened, and finally he was almost stuck on the wooden fence of the partition, watching him warily.

As a result, Zhou Hemin said: "When you are free, tell me about your time before you became a slave in the General's Mansion."

Hua Yue blinked and couldn't believe it: "Just this?"

"That's it." He got up and walked out, waving his sleeves, "This is the most interesting thing."

The slender figure melted into the dazzling light outside, with two points of arbitrariness and unrestrainedness. Hua Yue stepped up to keep up with him, thinking that this is fifteen years old. She looks like a fifty-year-old foreigner. In his world, there are only interesting and boring, and he doesn't look at the pros and cons at all.

Li Jingyun walked so fast that he couldn't catch up with the car. Huayue led Zhou Hemin's horse, and without waiting for him to say more, he mounted the horse and chased forward.

In fact, after hearing about the Qifeng Tower, she understood that Li Jingyun was not a gentleman who could be manipulated by others. Even if he was in a dangerous situation, he should be able to cope with it. It was quite unnecessary for her to go, and it might be disgusting.

However, she thought so, but the whip in her hand swung very fast, she stepped on the stirrup, her eyes were fixed on the front, and she thought in her heart that nothing should happen.

On the main street of Jinghua, it is not allowed to ride a horse forward. Li Jingyun dismounted the horse as soon as he reached Luohua Street, brushed off his clothes and strode towards Qifeng Tower.

In the past, the vicinity of Luohua Street was very lively. Today, at a glance, there are dozens of people wandering back and forth in the whole street. After walking for a while, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

None of these people looked at him, but he glanced around and felt that countless pairs of eyes were falling on him.

A bamboo flute sounded out of nowhere from behind, and the quiet and serene sound spread in a few swirls all over the street. Li Jingyun paused, and glanced at the people on both sides of the street eating steamed buns, the corners of his mouth pursed, and he quietly wanted to step back.

The moment the sole of the boot fell backwards, the surrounding situation suddenly changed.

The members of the royal family have always loved the dead, and the Daliang royal family is no exception. These people have been selected into the official office since childhood. They look unremarkable, but they are extremely cruel. The knife may also sever a person's neck.

Li Jingyun turned his head to avoid a knife, and burst into laughter. Since he was caught by his father fighting in the street two years ago, he has never fought on Luohua Street again. Seeing this battle again, he still misses it for a while.

"Killing people without reporting to the family?" He grabbed a dagger, threw it in mid-air to catch it, and sternly slammed it in front of the dead man who rushed forward.

The man's pupils shrank, and he slashed at the back of his neck with a backhand. He flashed, and the rest of the dead immediately swarmed up. He didn't intend to fight his gentleman at all.

Li Jingyun had a headache, he shook his wrist holding the dagger, and looked at the sky with a sigh: "The people I met today are all unreasonable people."

The sky was full of white clouds and the sun was shining brightly.

The dead man was ambushed here early in the morning, the leader wearing a bronze mask, and the two slender eyes showed a look of thirst for blood.

Everyone knows that Young Master Li has some skills, and he is naturally ready. Dozens of people take turns to come forward. Even if a few people die in the front, he will be weak in the back. This is the art of ants fighting elephants.

But what he didn't expect was that the man in the crowd shot very quickly, seven or eight people were cut throats with a knife, blood was spilled out, and no one reacted.

Li Jingyun's attack was really ruthless. The white knife went in and the red knife came out. He didn't blink his eyes. Whenever he was a little tired, the people around him would continue to rush up, but he didn't, not only did he not, his eyes were getting brighter and brighter.

As soon as the blood splattered on his face was wiped away, he turned his head and beckoned to the hesitant person beside him: "Come and try, maybe you can do it?"

Dead man: "..."

Killing hearts.

A dead man is strong in his faith and fearlessness, but he took out such a little thing and put it under his feet and stepped on it, and he stepped on it to a pulp.

The leader watched silently, seeing fear on his subordinate's face for the first time. Dozens of people just surrounded him, no one dared to step forward.

"What are you panicking about." He couldn't help but said, "The prey is already at the end of the shot, so you will have some lip service and give it to me."

Several people looked at each other and hesitated.

Li Jingyun was still laughing, his back was against the wall of the shop on the street, he smiled casually, he put the soft sword rolled up in his hand into his cuff without a trace, raised his chin and said, "Come on."

Zhong Kui, who climbed up like Huang Quan, opened his hands to them kindly.

Who dares to come here?

The crowd stepped back half an inch silently and tacitly.

The leader knew that the group of people had lost their temper, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he drew his bow and pointed the arrow at him. One arrow left the string, forcing Li Jingyun to dodge to the side, swaying slightly. He was overjoyed, and drew away an arrow and shouted loudly: "He has no way to live, it's all bluff!"

Someone cheered up again, raised a sword and stabbed, and the long arrow in the lead shot straight at Li Jingyun's heart.

The arrow was not very accurate, and the strength was not enough, Li Jingyun looked at it with disgust, the sapphire blue sleeve was slightly lifted, and the koi above it was alive.

However, in the next instant, someone slammed into his arms like lightning, held up a broken wooden board that was found somewhere, and blocked the long arrow with a "snap". The arrow pierced the board and stopped just before the tip of her nose. She shuddered with fright, her face white.

Raising his eyebrows in astonishment, Li Jingyun looked down and saw the person he least wanted to see in the shadow of swords and swords.

"What are you doing here!"

As soon as Hua Yue moved the arrow away, she heard a terrifying roar behind her. She shivered, turned to look at him, angry and angry, and immediately shouted back at him: "What else can I do, come and save people! The servant told you earlier this morning to let you Bring more people out, if you don't listen, you really think you have beaten the invincibles of Jinghua all over the world, look, if the slaves came quickly, would you still have your life!"

Li Jingyun was even more angry: "What can you do? Give me one more life?"

"Who said that, you don't think this is a good rescue?" She gritted her teeth and held the plank, almost hitting him in the face.

He slapped the broken board away with a slap, panting heavily, his eyes slightly red: "Go away."

No matter how good-tempered she was, she couldn't resist scolding her mother in her heart. Hua Yue threw the wooden board and said coldly, "If you weren't the master of the General's Mansion, it would not be uncommon for slaves to come to rescue you."

She turned around and wanted to leave, but the dead men around her had already surrounded them, trapping the two of them together.

Raising his hand to squeeze her shoulder, Li Jingyun gritted his teeth and said in a hoarse voice to her ear: "If you die today, you will be stupid."

"Can you stop opening your mouth and shut your mouth and curse people to death?" She frowned again and again.

"In this scene, I see that you didn't want to live." He hummed, "Are you afraid of the curse?"

"Young master misunderstood." Hua Yue's eyes wandered, and she took two steps back and whispered to him, "Slaves have always cherished their lives."

As soon as she finished speaking, a group of dead men rushed up, and the man at the front raised his knife high and slashed down hard with a gust of wind. But at the same time, the sound of horse hooves broke through Luohua Street, Zhou Hemin whipped the horse, broke through the crowd, and threw the whip on the wrist of the person holding the knife.

The long knife flew out, and was caught by Li Jingyun's hand. With a flip of his wrist, the knife edge didn't enter the heart of the dead man in front of him with a "puchi".

Before Hua Yue could raise her eyes, she saw darkness in front of her.

The man behind her was covering her eyes, his broad palms covering her thin eyelids, hot and heavy. Something was sprayed on the ground ahead, and then there was the movement of people falling to the ground.

She struggled and wanted to take a look, but the man behind her held her down and made a "tsk" rather impatiently, preventing her from moving.

The guards and the dead were fighting together. Zhou Hemin looked up and saw that Li Jingyun was still leaning on the same spot. He held the knife in one hand and covered the eyes of the person in his arms with the other.

But after a while, he nodded towards him, as if to thank him.

Zhou Hemin smiled, shook the reins in his hand, rolled his eyes, and gave him a mouth shape: I'm not here to save you.

He pointed to the person in his arms, his brows were high, and he said one word at a time: "I'm here to help her~" Li Jingyun's face turned gloomy again with lightning speed.

Black clouds over the top, lightning and thunder.

Zhou Hemin burst out laughing, lying on the horse's back and laughing almost fell off, the jade bell on his head made a crisp jade sound following his trembling, he shook his brocade boots, his eyes full of interest.

The other end was fighting hard, and suddenly hearing such a wild laughter, the leading dead man seemed to have discovered a treasure, gave up fighting with the guards, turned his head and stabbed the fifth prince.

"Master, be careful!" Someone shouted, Zhou Hemin looked back, pulled the reins and knocked the man away with the horse's head.

"Your Highness!" exclaimed.

Hua Yue felt bad, she quickly took a look at Li Jingyun's hand, grabbed his hand and said, "Young Master, this one can't have an accident in front of our eyes."

Li Jingyun naturally understood this, and no matter how reluctant he was, he rolled his eyes and stepped forward to rescue Zhou Hemin.

The rest of the dead men had already been controlled by the guards. Seeing that the situation was not right, the leader turned around and ran away. Li Jingyun didn't want to let him go, he picked up the long sword on the ground with his toes and chased after him.

The more people chased him forward, the more pedestrians there were on Luohua Street, and the people who had just vanished seemed to be all coming back now. Amidst the crowds, Li Jingyun stared at the long gown the leader was wearing, and chased him in. an alley.

There were women talking and laughing in the alley, and he had a bad heart, so he caught up with the man in three or two steps, and wiped his neck with a sword. He moved neatly and made no noise, just trying to drag this man away without disturbing the people.

As a result, the girl in the alley let out a scream that went straight through the sky, attracting a bunch of people in an instant.

"Miss, what happened?"

Li Jingyun looked back helplessly, only to see Han Shuang standing behind him with someone, his eyes falling into his arms, and his lips were so shocked that there was no blood on his lips.

"..."

This is too coincidental.

Before the green marks on her neck had disappeared, Han Shuang held the handkerchief, her face full of fear, she looked at him and the person he had killed, and said tremblingly, "Brother Jing Yun, why did you kill him? ?"

It would be troublesome to explain, Li Jingyun shook his head, put the body down and said, "Let's talk about it another day."

Han Shuang was about to cry, looking at the people on the ground and said: "But he is the one who the eldest princess hurts the most, even if it's brother Jing Yun, it's not so good..."

The person that the princess hurts the most? Li Jingyun bowed his head inexplicably: "Isn't this a dead man—"

I don't know where the bronze mask on his face went, Long Rin lay at his feet, blood gushing out from his throat one after another. Before he could breathe, his eyes moved upwards, looking at him without blinking.

As if satisfied with the shock in his eyes, Long Rin smiled, swallowed his breath, and his whole face was fixed on this eerie expression.

Li Jingyun was stunned.

Han Shuang came to the official's house and the nursing home, and a large group of people looked at him like that. Someone reported to the official, and Jingzhao Yin Yamen also came after a while.

Amidst the noise, Li Jingyun suddenly understood.

Long Rin thought about it from the beginning, even if he failed to kill him, he would be charged with killing the face of the head. After throwing the bronze mask, he died in front of Han Shuang. No one could prove that he was a dead man just now, and no one knew that he was an assassin. What everyone could see was the blood-stained sword in his hand and the ice cold on the ground. corpse.

Smart, really smart.

Li Jingyun raised his head and looked at Han Shuang deeply.

She seemed to have no idea, and panicked to stop the yacha who came to catch him, her lips trembling slightly, and her expression worried. Aware of his gaze, she lowered her head and looked down, her eyes full of puzzlement and reproach: "Brother Jing Yun, please tell me quickly, is there any misunderstanding?"

From the dead man to her, they are all people of the eldest princess, what could be a misunderstanding?

He sneered, his eyes crossed the yacha and looked out from a distance.

Ya Chai looked inexplicable, and followed him to the other side of the street.

When the dead man was arrested, he chose to bite his tongue and commit suicide. The guards cleaned up the mess, and involuntarily invited Zhou Hemin back to the palace first. Zhou Hemin was very helpless, looked at Hua Yue who was sitting beside him, waved his hand and said, "I'll see you again in two days."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Hua Yue leaned against the wall and stood up to salute, watching him leave on horseback.

In the end, she is a noble prince. Today's incident is already ridiculous, and she can't let people stay behind to deal with the aftermath.

There was still a pool of blood on the ground, Hua Yue's legs were weak, and she was panting when Liu Chenghe brought Chao Feng over.

"Are you all right?" Chaofeng lifted her up, glanced around, and was speechless.

Hua Yue smiled and shook her head at her, then pointed to Liu Chenghe in the direction that Li Jingyun ran away, and the latter immediately took someone to look for it.

"I really didn't read the imperial calendar when I went out today." Chaofeng stomped her feet while helping her out of the place, "We were drinking wine in Qifeng Tower, but it was plain that a wine lunatic rushed over to ask for trouble, and Chenghe was also stubborn. , I had to fight someone. As a result, before the other end was finished, I heard that this end also started."

She wiped her face with her handkerchief, and asked in a low voice, "Have you won this fight?"

Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, Hua Yue said: "It should have been won, no one was hurt, but the scene was a bit bigger, and it was a bit infiltrating."

Chaofeng patted her hand to appease her, then raised her eyes and looked forward: "Why did he spend so much time looking for someone?"

Luohua Street is very long, and there are three intersections in the middle. When they passed the second archway, they saw that the front was crowded with people. Liu Chenghe's servants also didn't squeeze in outside, they just stood on tiptoe to watch.

"What's going on?" Chao Feng frowned.

When the servant heard her voice, he hurriedly turned around and said, "Young madam, the officials are arresting people ahead."

"What's the matter with us when officials arrest people? Haven't you seen the excitement?" She looked left and right, "Where's the young master?"

The house slave looked into the crowd in embarrassment.

The crowded people were separated by the official, and a path suddenly opened in the middle. Chao Feng was overjoyed, and he was about to borrow it. When he looked up, he saw a familiar person walking out.

"Hey." She pulled Huayue's sleeve in confusion, "Is that person a bit like our third master?"

Hua Yue looked at it with heavy eyes, and after a while, she replied in a low voice, "It's not like, that's it."

Ten yamen surrounded Li Jingyun, but they didn't shackle him, but everyone held their swords on their waists and looked very alert. Liu Chenghe followed Li Jingyun and whispered something to him. He nodded and glanced at the person on the right.

Hua Yue followed and looked over, and saw that Han Shuang followed his right side step by step, crying so much that it was raining.

"What's this?" Chaofeng frowned, "What about the eighteenth gift?"

Liu Chenghe withdrew before going too far, pulled Huayue towards Feng, and said very unhappily, "Why did you get involved with that little hoof again?"

"It's not a mix." Liu Chenghe said solemnly, "The third master accidentally killed the face of the eldest princess, Han Shuang is a witness."

"Mian Shou?" Hua Yue shook her head, "He was chasing the masked man who was stabbed in the street just now. How could he suddenly kill someone with a face."

Liu Chenghe looked at her, his eyes were complex and authentic: "wearing a mask is an assassin, taking off the mask is a face. The third master can kill an assassin wearing a mask, but he can't kill a face without a mask. The eldest princess insisted on finding He is troublesome, the life and death of the third master is in Han Shuang's hands."

Taking a breath, she frowned and rubbed her forehead.

She couldn't escape, but she couldn't escape. She was a powerless slave, how could she stop the powerful eldest princess, she thought it was enough to save her life from the dead man, but she didn't expect that there were still pits waiting for her.

In the recent abolition of the Court, the emperor was partial to the crown prince, and he caused the eldest princess to suffer a lot of grievances. In the end, it was his own life, and still felt ashamed. This time the accident happened, the emperor must stand on the eldest princess's side and count on him to take care of Li Jingyun. of.

As for the crown prince, he might be willing to help, but it's hard to say how much he can help.

Her mind was spinning fast, Hua Yue's face was tense, and she subconsciously gnawed on her nails.

Liu Chenghe looked at her for a while, and suddenly said: "Actually, little sister-in-law doesn't need to worry too much. That person Han Shuang... may not want the third master's life."

Slightly stunned, Hua Yue looked back at him, looked at his eyes with deep meaning, and slowly reacted.

The eldest princess is angry that Li Jingyun is not used by her, so there are two ways in front of him. First, if he continues to disobey the eldest princess, he will be charged with murder. Second, to satisfy Han Shuang, Han Shuang was naturally willing to clear his name.

It's so exciting, Hua Yue couldn't help but want to applaud, Li Jingyun didn't even have an official or half a post, it's really worth the attention of these high-ranking people.

"It's really shameless." Chao Fengliu raised her eyebrows, "Is there only one man in the world, the third master, or what? She can even think of such a sinister idea!"

Liu Chenghe sighed: "It may not be what she thought, but she can only do it."

After a pause, he glanced at Hua Yue and said in a low voice, "The third master will be in prison first. The little sister-in-law has to go back to the house to report the letter, and by the way, prepare to order wine and food, and visit him later."

Hua Yue seemed to be thinking about something, and after a while, she came back to her senses and replied softly, "Okay."

Chaofeng took her hand and said cheerfully, "I'll accompany you back. There's a change in the man at home, and women always panic. I'm here. If you miss something, I'll watch for you."

Liu Chenghe frowned, just as she was about to say that she was inappropriate, the end of her eyes swept over: "Husband has something to say?"

"...No." In his heart, he said that a gentleman does not care about women, and Liu Chenghe took his servant and left by himself.

Chaofeng turned his head and stroked Huayue's temples with distressed eyes: "It's a good girl, how come you have someone like the third master, it's not safe to be around him, but there is one thing you can rest assured, in the eyes of the third master I can't rub the sand, and Han Shuang calculated him like this, he will definitely not do what she wants."

Hua Yue pulled her onto the horse and returned to the General's Mansion without a word.

Looking at her thin back, Chaofeng felt even more pity in her heart. When her husband had an accident, the way to save him was to let her husband out—if this happened to her, she would be pissed off.

Huayue must also be very sad, look, walk all the way, without saying a word.

With words of comfort brewing in her heart, Chaofeng followed her into the door of the East Courtyard, intending to start with her daughter's life and let her understand that caring for herself is the most important thing.

As a result, as soon as he opened his mouth, he heard the man in front of him calmly instructing the slave: "Badou went to the main courtyard to report to the general, saying that the son was framed and detained in the prison, don't disturb the wife. If the wife asks, It is said that the prince was kept by the prince for dinner, and he may not come back at night."

"Have you fed the white deer in the backyard? After feeding, take the food box to the kitchen, ask the cook to make two appetizers, and make a pot of the flower carvings in the back kitchen, and you'll go out with me later."

As Huayue spoke, she stepped into the main house and found a clean and simple long gown, with pillows and quilts, neatly folded, and then wrapped in furoshiki. Taking a look at the desk, she picked up the paper and ink on the table, wrote a letter and handed it out.

After everything was packed, Hua Yue went out with her bag and brought a cup of tea to Chao Feng. Seeing that she was stunned, she said, "Drink some water."

Chaofeng opened his mouth subconsciously.

Huayue fed her tea, gave her a piece of almond cake, and then dragged her out with the burden in one hand and the other: "I don't know how long it will be delayed later, so you can put your stomach first."

The almond cake melted in his mouth and swallowed towards Feng, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

How can there be such a girl, weak and gentle, as delicate as a flower, but when the wind blows, she will not fall, but she is full of tenacity like a weed. She wanted to take care of her, but she took care of her properly.
