The shadow guard laughs at me with a broken sleeve

I didn't feel much at the end, I just told the Northern Yan army who came with me to return immediately, and must stabilize the king city.

Half a month later, the group stood at the feet of the Son of Heaven again. The people of Lingyang lined the streets to greet each other, and the alleys were empty, which was not at all consistent with the desolate scene last year. Someone shouted from the shops beside the street that as long as King Li came, no money would be charged. The rumors circulating in the former city that "King Li is a spy of Chu State" were all defeated after the first battle.

Xue Lang had already removed his armor, and was wearing a brocade robe with dark patterns in cherry red and an ivory white silk sash around his waist. His face was like a jade crown, his lips were red and his teeth were white, and he had long eyebrows and phoenix eyes.

He just smiled, didn't say much, dodged left and right by the thrown flowers and plants, careful not to be touched, walked out of the long street, he looked back and blinked at Yan Li, as if asking for credit, Yan Li hid in the mask Behind, eyebrows and eyes are curved.

After being enthusiastically introduced to the palace by the palace people, Yan Li left on his own. Xue Lang never let him get involved in the messy affairs of the court.

The ministers were all there, at least they all pretended to be very respectful. When they saw him, they all bowed to congratulate him, but he smiled and said nothing. When he walked to the Highness, he did not kneel down, but just clasped his fists and said, "See Father."

Emperor Qing's face was full of spring breeze, and he asked him to be free, and asked earnestly: "My son, tell me and the family of all the nobles, how did you take down Chu State?"

Xue Lang looked around and said slowly: "My minister is unparalleled in wisdom and bravery. Of course Chu State is at hand."

Needles could be heard in the hall, and some unembarrassed and unembarrassed faces looked at each other, speechless, until someone insisted that "King Li is worthy of being the God of War in our country", and there were scattered praises, and Emperor Qing also boasted along the steps After a while, he was sent back home to rest, and the reward will be delivered in a while.

Walking out of the main hall, the palace servants came to welcome him, saying that it was the order of the concubine Rong Rong, asking Li Wang to sit in the Jinxiu Palace, but Xue Lang waved his hand and refused to go.

It is he who is in full swing, who dares to disobey him?

On the way out of the palace, Yan Li appeared out of nowhere with a gray fluff lying on his head, Xue Lang laughed at him: "Going to dig out the bird's nest again?"

He flattened his mouth helplessly, and said, "There is a nest of young birds that accidentally fell down there. I was going to put them back on the tree, but an eagle suddenly swooped down and insisted on catching me... "

Xue Lang couldn't help but burst out laughing before he finished voicing his bitterness. Yan Li muttered stubbornly and looked at him resentfully.

"Let me see, poof," Xue Lang's cheeks bulged, he suppressed his laughter abruptly, supported Yan Li's chin, and said, "Are you injured? It's fine if you don't."

"Don't laugh. This is a family letter from the Great General of Plagiarism, let us hand it over to Mrs. Rong." Yan Li took out a paper bag from his arms.

"When did it arrive?"

"Just now, Wang Lin hurried back. Also, I'm afraid the old general is really dying."

Xue Lang took the envelope, the yellow paper was clean, and there were four large characters written on it - Letter with his old wife.

The envelope was very thin, and it contained no more than two sheets of paper. Suddenly, Xue Lang's heart was blocked, his brows were furrowed, and he didn't show his face for a long time.

When we arrived at the Rong Mansion, the gates were sparse, and the two stone lions at the gate silently sent away generations. The surrounding families were quiet, blending in with the silent and solemn atmosphere here.

A thin servant came out with a broom, saw that it was Xue Lang, and froze in place. After distinguishing for a while, he heard Xue Lang ask impatiently, "Is Mrs. Rong in the mansion?"

"Yes, yes." The servant Nuonuo replied, "My lord, please come in."

The servant brought him into Rong's mansion, and a servant girl passed by and blessed Xue Lang in front of her. The moment she turned around, Xue Lang stopped and tilted his head to look at her.

"stop."

The servant girl paused, then walked back with her head buried: "Does the lord have any orders?"

Xue Lang took out a dagger from Yan Li's body and pressed it against her chin to force her to raise her head again.

The boy felt that the girl was a bit unfamiliar, but when Xue Lang asked him if he knew her, he shook his head.

Without any explanation, Xue Lang said to the boy, "Tie it up."

Hearing this, the servant girl lowered her head and took a few steps back, as if she was afraid that Xue Lang would do something to her.The servant didn't understand what he meant, but after all, he was the master, so how could he not listen.

He walked over, sighed subtly and said, "Don't struggle, suffer less."

Unexpectedly, the servant girl slipped and ran away quickly. "Stop! Don't run!" The boy chased after him.

"Is there something wrong?" Yan Li asked him in a low voice.

He nodded, his face was not good-looking, and then he immediately led people to Mrs. Rong's room.

There was no movement in the room, the former boy went to catch the maid, and the remaining one with a fair face went up and knocked on the door, but no one answered, Xue Lang bluntly said: "Break the door open."

"But..." the boy said in embarrassment, "The old lady blames..."

"Smash it open, or this king will smash your head."

The young servant dared not refuse, took a wooden stick from the side, and smashed open the door several times.

As soon as the door opened, a pungent smell of medicine came over my face. Mrs. Rong was in poor health, and it made sense that she had been taking medicine all year round.The room was bright, but she was nowhere to be seen. The servant didn't even respond to his shouts, scratching the back of his head and muttering: "Strange, the old lady was still talking inside just now."

Xue Lang quickly scanned the furnishings in the room, found the location of the bed, and walked over without stopping, followed closely by Yan Li.

A small bed carved out of yellow wood was hung with some red silk curtains. There was a thin man lying on the bed with his back to them, with silver hair all over his head.

The servant yelled a few more times before he realized something was wrong. Xue Lang had already lifted the cover and turned the person on the bed over to take a look. His eyes were closed, his lips were dark, and his pulse was weak.

Yan Li saw it and snapped his fingers, a man in black jumped off the beam, it was He Shaotang who had been guarding him since they entered Beijing.

He Shaotang bowed his head and waited for orders, Yan Li said: "Go and find Ling Xiao, as soon as possible."

"Yes."

A series of things shocked the boy, and when he suddenly saw Mrs. Rong's frightening face, he yelled in fright: "Old lady!"

"Shut up! Go and call the doctor, it's useless." Xue Lang frowned and scolded.

The little servant woke up like a dream, and immediately ran to find the doctor in the mansion, and the little thin man who caught the maid came back dejectedly.

"My lord...the man ran away."

That servant girl was not an ordinary person at all, she seemed to be armed with martial arts, he was sure that there was no such person in the mansion, and when he realized the seriousness of the matter and called the servant, the girl had already disappeared.

Fortunately, Xue Lang didn't count on him - King Li has a huge intelligence system, as long as he is still in this world, he can find it no matter if he is dead or alive.

The most important thing right now is to save the old lady Rong. Xue Lang stabilized her heart, and when the doctor arrived, he stood by with a fierce face. The doctor was so frightened that he would be tossed by King Li like this if he spoke to the end of his life.

"What did the old lady eat?"

"Today's medicine." The boy pointed out the empty medicine bowl on the table to him.

The doctor picked it up and sniffed it, and quickly concluded that it contained untreated tripterygium wilfordii. The only way to do it was to induce vomiting as soon as possible, but it was difficult for a comatose person to do so.

At this time He Shaotang also came with Ling Xiao, who was still holding a knife and medicine tongs in both hands, his face was red and white, obviously he was dragged away during the torture.

Seeing Xue Lang, Ling Xiao was overjoyed: "Master! You didn't tell your subordinates when you came back."

Xue Lang said, "Stop talking nonsense, come and have a look."

"okay."

Ling Xiao went up and came to the same conclusion as the doctor. While the doctor was still thinking about how not to hurt the old lady, Ling Xiao had already moved the knife, slapped it deftly, and after a few breaths he shouted: "Here comes the basin!"

Old Madam Rong spat into the spittoon with a wow sound, and was helped to lie flat again before she slowly opened her eyes and asked in a hoarse voice, "What's wrong with me?"

The little thin man stood at the end of the bed and explained to her: "Madam, someone wanted to harm you and poisoned you, thanks to the prince who came in time."

It was only now that Madam Rong saw Xue Lang behind her. She was stunned for a moment, but then she asked everyone else to go down and talk to him alone.

Yan Li wanted to retreat knowing the current affairs, but was grabbed by Xue Lang, not hiding anything, Madam Rong naturally saw it too, she opened her mouth: "You..."

"That's what you see."

Hearing his blunt words, Mrs. Rong smiled wryly. She didn't say anything. Like her wife, she was not close to this grandson. The reason was that Concubine Rong didn't want to take the child back home, thinking that they would take the child away. Teach indecisively.

The two couples had only one daughter in their life. Rong Yi was a distinguished life and never took a concubine. His wife fell ill when she gave birth to Concubine Rong and could not give birth to another son and daughter for him. Concubine Rong was pampered since childhood, so she was born He will develop such a temperament that he wants to be the first in everything. Rong Yi originally wanted a son to inherit his battlefield, but he did not expect that the one who helped him fulfill his lifelong wish was actually his grandson whom he had always ignored.

Mrs. Rong followed her husband, and didn't care too much about this grandson. She was an old man who lived a very transparent life, and she knew that she was not qualified to comment on the current Xue Lang, so she didn't open her mouth.

In the silence, Xue Lang handed Rong Yi's letter to her, and then closed the door and left. When he left, he said, "I will find out what happened today."

Someone poisoned a helpless old man, and at this turbulent juncture, it is hard not to say that they came for him. The purpose was nothing more than to kill the old man, blame Xue Lang, anger Rong Yi, and let Xue Lang in The court is isolated and helpless.

The people in the dark had thousands of calculations, and Rong Yi would not be able to come back. Besides, Xue Lang never borrowed the help of others for what he wanted to do.

The old lady's poisoning was not deep, and she found it in time, and it didn't endanger her life. Before she opened Rong Yi's last letter, she was mentally prepared
