Ten years of life and death

21

In the Meridian Gate Execution Ground, a lot of ordinary people had gathered. In the execution ground, there were kneeling national teachers, the five great protectors, and twenty or thirty members of the Yuxian Gang. It was almost noon, and Liu Changying, who was sitting in the execution ground, was watching from time to time. time.

My lord, it is three quarters past noon.

OK, chop!Liu Changying threw the chopping card.

The executioner who got the order threw away the tag on the prisoner, raised his big knife, and started chopping. From time to time, people in the crowd applauded, and when the chopping was about to be finished, more than a dozen men in black appeared from the crowd. The smoke bombs were in the crowd, taking advantage of the chaos to take away the five guardians who had not yet been executed.

The smoking crowd suddenly became a mess, Liu Changying didn't care about the smoke in the crowd, drew his sword and rushed to the middle of the execution ground, who dared to rob the execution ground.

While speaking, the ropes on the five guardians were untied, and five or six men in black surrounded Liu Changying. When Liu Changying got up again, the man in black and the five guardians had disappeared.

My lord, the criminals have been robbed and many brothers have been killed or injured.

I saw it, and immediately issued an order to set up checkpoints at the gates of each city, and within five days, only entry was allowed, and no exit was allowed.

The officer knows, what about your lord's injury?

This little injury doesn't matter, you immediately lead people to search from house to house, and I will immediately go to the palace to meet the saint.

Yes, I will do it now, sir.

In the imperial study room, there were several ministers kneeling, all trembling. The emperor hadn't spoken for almost half an hour, just closed his eyes and meditated. After the imperial doctor came out after seeing Liu Changying's injury, the emperor finally opened his mouth. Long win, talk about it.

Your Majesty, according to Yichen, those men in black are not like the natives of China. Their kung fu and weapons seem to belong to the Dongying area.

Japan?Zhang Shaomin, when did the Dongying people come to the capital?Why haven't I heard from you.

If you go back to the emperor, I really don't know when the Dongying people came to the capital. It is my dereliction of duty, and I am willing to be punished.

Forget it, Liu Chang wins you and rests well, I will let other people do this.

Your Majesty, there were five major protectors who stabbed the princess' mansion at night, I think the security of the princess' mansion also needs to be strengthened, Zhang Shaomin said.

The son-in-law has gone to Yumen Pass yesterday, and it is not safe to leave the princess alone in the mansion. The emperor thought about it and called for someone. Come and go to the princess mansion immediately to pass the princess into the palace.

Report to the emperor that the princess went to Yumen Pass with her son-in-law yesterday, and left a letter on the case for the servant to tell.

What nonsense!Zhang Shaomin was rushed to Yumen Pass for [-] miles, and told his son-in-law about the robbery of the five guardians, and asked him to do everything possible to protect the princess.

Yes, the minister will do it now.

In the West Wing of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhang Xin changed Liu Changying's medicine and told him to go to bed early, but he was not sleepy. Since returning to the mansion in the afternoon, he had been thinking about the execution ground. Zhang Xin was a little worried. Win, you are injured, don't overwork yourself, if you fall ill, what can I do?

Xin'er, this little injury is nothing, I have my own measure, Liu Changying touched the injury on his shoulder to comfort Zhang Xin.

You see, you haven't rested since you came back in the afternoon until the evening. Is this called being measured?

Your lady is right, I promise you, after Brother Li and I discuss some things, I will rest in peace, okay?

Brother Liu, just as Liu Changying was coaxing Zhang Xin, Li Zhaoting and Liu Qian had already walked to the door. How are you hurt?

It's just a small injury, it's okay.

I heard about this in the palace, was it really done by the Dongying people?

this?Qian'er, stay here with Xin'er, brother Li and I will go to the study to talk about something.

Well, here I am, you go.

Brother Liu, do you need to be so cautious?They are your and my pillow people, Li Zhaoting doesn't know what Liu Changying's move is.

Liu Changying smiled, Brother Li, you misunderstood, I just don't want them both to worry too much, after all, the less people know about some things, the better.

Oh, are you talking about the robbery of the five great protectors today?

It's just that the Dongying people have only appeared in the coastal areas in recent years. I have seen them occasionally when I was in the south of the Yangtze River. Although the kung fu and weapons of the people who robbed the practice field today are very similar to those of the Dongying people, they are not real Dongying people. people.

You mean that someone pretended to be from Dongying and robbed the five guardians?

Before I took over as admiral of the Nine Gates, Zhang Shaomin was in charge of all the security of the capital. According to his rigor, how could he not even know that there were people from Dongying.

Then what is the purpose of these people pretending to be Japanese people to rob the execution ground?Could it be that someone deliberately provoked discord between the two countries, so as to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

I'm just guessing now, and there's one more thing I don't know, the five men in black obviously had a chance to kill me, but they just stabbed me, and they seem to be very familiar with the environment around the execution ground, it only took a while , They robbed people and disappeared. The entire capital city was searched except for the palace, and other places were searched, but there were no people, not even a clue.

Could it be that they hid in the palace?

Alas, brother Li, you can't talk nonsense, Liu Changying carefully reminded Li Zhaoting.

That's natural, hey, fortunately Brother Feng and the princess went to Yumen Pass, otherwise the five guardians would have killed Brother Feng to vent their hatred.

Brother Li, don’t you know how to tell divinations, and where can these five guardians hide?

Hearing that Liu Changying wanted to do the divination by himself, Li Zhaoting waved his hands and shook his head, Brother Liu, I'm not sure, I can't be trusted, I can't be trusted.

Brother Li, don't be modest, go outside to have a look, maybe you can figure it out, Liu Changying pushed Li Zhaoting outside the house, Li Zhaoting looked at the starry night sky, turned around slowly, and finally stopped his sight If it is above the north of the house, it is not good and there is a bad omen.

As soon as he heard that there was a bad omen, Liu Changying immediately looked in the direction Li Zhaoting was looking at. Brother Li, what is the bad omen?

Someone will die, and the dynasty will change.

Change of dynasty?Then according to what you said, the battle with the Izumo country is imperative.

It seems that it is not true, within two months, this world will be the new emperor's again.

It seems that this is a good time for Brother Feng to make contributions.

hope so.

On a small hillside, Tianxiang leaned on Feng Shaomin's shoulder to rest her mind. The two of them did not speak, each thinking about their own thoughts. Chen Zhong and Wang Xiao hesitated for a long time behind the two, not knowing whether they should stay here or not. Excuse the two of them for a while, maybe the sound of their footsteps moving back and forth startled Tianxiang, Tianxiang turned her head and looked at the two of them and shouted, hey, I said you two are walking back and forth, what are you going to do?

Seeing that Tianxiang found out, the two of them simply walked forward and handed a letter to Tianxiang, the princess, and the son-in-law, this is the urgent [-]-mile package received today, please have a look.

Hmph, what a shame, the five mutton dogs were rescued, Tianxiang handed the letter to Feng Shaomin who was also frowning.

The execution ground of the Beheading Yuxian Gang is heavily guarded, how could they be rescued so easily?

Son-in-law, according to the person in charge of delivering the letter, the robbery of the Dharma Field may have been done by people from Dongying.

Dongying people have always only appeared in the southeast coastal area. When did they come to the capital again?He also got involved with the Yuxian Gang. It seems that this matter is not that simple. How about it, I will write a letter in a while, and I will send it to Mr. Zhang Shaomin in the capital immediately tomorrow morning.

Alright, just ask the son-in-law and the princess to rest in the tent now, it's too unsafe outside.

Ok.

In the tent, Feng Shaomin wrote a good letter and wanted to give it to Chen and Wang, but was stopped by Tianxiang, hey, you have not stopped since just now, if something happens in the capital, someone will deal with it, you don't need to be separated like this Far from worrying about the country and the people.

Feng Shaomin shook his head and chuckled when he heard Tianxiang's resentment, "Princess, it would be great if everyone in this world had no distractions like you.

So, you have to learn from this princess, don't frown all the time, or you will grow old very quickly.

Hehehe, you, facing Tianxiang's naughtiness, Feng Shaomin could only helplessly shake his head and smile.

What were you thinking when you were outside just now?

Secret, Feng Shaomin thought for a while, and answered Tianxiang's words.

Tianxiang was obviously not satisfied with Feng Shaomin's answer, so she muttered and walked away, so don't say anything, hum.

Seeing Tianxiang play a small temper, it is very cute, Feng Shaomin can't help but find it funny, princess, why do you get angry so easily?

You, you are bullying again, I ignore you, I went to sleep, Feng Shaomin's behavior really angered Tianxiang again, so he took off the hairpin and headdress and threw them on the table and lay down on the bed.

Seeing that the hairpin was about to roll off the table and fall to the ground, Feng Shaomin quickly grabbed it in his hand, princess, how can you throw the hairpin that the emperor gave you carelessly.

Seeing that there was no movement on the bed, Feng Shaomin stopped talking and put the hairpin away. Perhaps out of curiosity, or because he had nothing to do, Feng Shaomin took Tianxiang's hairpin and looked at it. It was really a good hairpin. Not only is the jade top-notch, but even the half peony carved on the jade body is so lifelike, half a peony?Seeing this, Feng Shaomin couldn't help but think of the hanging jade that the young man in yellow shirt gave her, on which was also carved a half peony.

Thinking of this, Feng Shaomin hurriedly got up and went to look for the hanging jade in the bag. When he put the hanging jade and the hairpin on the table, Feng Shaomin felt a little unbelievable that the two and a half peonies on it were exactly the same. what's going on?Could it be that the young man in the yellow shirt is a member of the royal family?or it could be?

Feng Shaomin didn't dare to think any further, took the Diaoyu and sat by the bed and called Tianxiang, Tianxiang, let me show you something, have you seen this?

Tian Xiang didn't want to talk to Feng Shaomin anymore, so she took the hanging jade with her back to Feng Shaomin and looked at it, but only took one look, and then jumped up from the bed, this is the hanging jade of the imperial brother, why is it here with you?

Tianxiang's words shook Feng Shaomin's eardrums like thunder, could it be that Mr. Huang Shirt is the prince?No, based on her understanding of the prince, it is impossible for such a weak and incompetent prince to have such high martial arts, and it is impossible to know her identity, is this?what's going on?

Seeing Feng Shaomin staring at that piece of jade in a daze, Tianxiang was a little inconceivable, how could the imperial brother's hanging jade be in Feng Shaomin's hands, alas, the surname is Feng, how could the imperial brother give this to you?

Tianxiang, look carefully, is this really the prince's thing?Feng Shaomin still didn't quite believe it, so he asked Tianxiang to read it again.

Just as Feng Shaomin thought, Tianxiang didn't really believe how the prince gave this thing to Feng Shaomin, but after she looked at it again, she had to admit that this hanging jade belonged to the prince. Give you this hanging jade.

This hanging jade was not given to me by the crown prince.

Uh, I don't quite get it.

Tianxiang, do you still remember that masked man?This hanging jade was given to me by him, Feng Shaomin told the truth.

Is that the masked man who wants to take you away?Tianxiang remembered the appearance of that masked man, how could he have something from Brother Huang?Is that person the emperor's brother?Impossible, that person speaks in ventriloquism, which shows that he has high martial arts skills, and Brother Huang's strong body doesn't look like it no matter how you look at it.

I also don't think that person is the prince, but how could the prince's things be in his hands, and why did he give them to me? Turning Feng Shaomin's face to him, he said don't frown, look at you frown again, if you become an old woman, no one will like you.

old woman?Hehehe, people will grow old one day, otherwise they will become monsters. Tianxiang's words can always make the frowning Feng Shaomin laugh easily.

Seeing that Feng Shaomin would laugh and tell jokes, Tianxiang felt relieved a lot. Regarding the issue of the jade hanging, just go and ask Brother Huang when you return to Beijing. Don't think about anything now, just get a good night's sleep. I have to go on my way tomorrow.

Well, what you said is also reasonable, Feng Shaomin thought it was the only way to go, so he put things on the table and got ready to sleep.

Feng, just tell me what you were thinking when you were outside, okay?Seeing Feng Shaomin fall asleep, Tianxiang couldn't help asking again.

secret.

I order you as a princess, do you want to say it?

That being the case, the princess will kill me.

you!Why didn't Ben Gong realize that you were a scoundrel before, hmph.

scoundrel?Feng Shaomin was dumbfounded when he heard these two words, is she a rascal?Compared with the style of the person in front of her, she is nothing compared to the big witch.

Seeing Feng Shaomin staring at her dumbfounded, Tianxiang's displeasure came to her head, she stretched out her hand and pushed Feng Shaomin's face away to the curtain over there, what am I doing?Turn your face away.

Princess, are you angry?Feng Shaomin didn't dare to turn his face back, so he could only ask weakly, but there was no reply from the people around him, so Feng Shaomin slowly turned his face back, Princess, are you really angry?Seeing that there was still no response from the people next to him, Feng Shaomin began to blame himself, princess, I was wrong, don’t be angry, I was just joking with you, please forgive me, princess, can you say something, princess ,Princess.
