Startled Meng

Chapter 28 Palace Banquet 4

Yan Cijing left the main hall and walked towards the imperial dining room.

In order to deceive others, he leaned against a thick tree.

The roughness of the tree trunk made the newly bandaged wound ache behind him.

The burning beam fell down, and he didn't vomit blood, but he was not lucky. He took a look at the wound behind him in front of the mirror, and the edge of the wound seemed to be crawling with an ugly centipede end to end, very horrifying.

He reached out and touched the upper part of the left waist.

The burnt skin had already covered the machete wound from childhood, and there was only a very shallow mark near the left waist.

When the big knife was chopped off, he only thought, how could Meng Jingyuan's delicate skin and tender flesh stand it with such sharpness?When the severe pain came, he went to wipe the tears on Meng Jingyuan's face first.

"What are men crying, crying for?"

"Brother Jingping, I don't want you to die..."

"Finally—are you willing to call me brother?"

Yan Cijing, or Yan Jingping, was five years older than Meng Jingyuan, and it was only once in his life that he heard Meng Jingyuan call him brother.The porcelain jade-like face was covered with mud and tears rolled down, which made Yan Jingping feel extremely distressed.

To this day, Yan Cijing still worries when he thinks about it.How could he accept Meng Jingyuan's death in front of him even if he was not willing to get hurt?But it happened, it happened, hot blood splashed all over his face, more than that, blood flowed into the whole Meng family!

The seeds of revenge took root and germinated on the night when the Meng family fell. He thought that the fire of hatred in his heart had tempered him enough to calm down. Not at all. He couldn't get close to Wei Cheng, and even showed his flaws because he was too impatient, which made Wei Cheng suspicious. , but farther and farther away from Wei Cheng.

Yan Cijing sighed, and said in his heart, Yan Jingping's ability is limited, and he may not be able to reverse the case of the Meng family collaborating with the enemy. All he can do is to know the culprit with his own hands, Jing Yuan, will you blame me?Mrs. Meng, Mrs. Meng, do you think I am useless?

He tightened his grip on the medicine bag in his sleeve, secretly blaming himself for being ashamed of Xia Changying's teachings, and regretting that he didn't arrange the future path of the Juniper brothers, but he had no way out.

The blood-stained banner in the northern border made Meng Xiaoqing's reputation dusty, and the Changjun incident caused Meng Jingyuan to suffer catastrophe. Yan Jing's heart was twisted like a knife, and he couldn't see the culprit sitting indifferently.

"Elder-in-law!" Yan Cijing tried his best to suppress the tremor in his voice when speaking.

The eunuch who was carrying the dishes said respectfully, and stood in front of Yan Cijing with his head bowed.

Yan Cijing said: "My father-in-law's clothes are wet, I will bring in the food later, be careful that Mr. Wei will get angry, I won't reward the money I prepared."

The eunuch's eyes lit up: "Is there a reward for serving the dishes?"

Yan Cijing nodded: "Of course, there are people who pour wine, why don't there be people who serve food? It's just your robe..."

The eunuch panicked immediately, he was at a loss with the dishes, and said sternly: "Go and clean it soon, I will carry the dishes for you, if you don't hurry up, others will grab Master Wei's dishes!"

The eunuch quickly thanked him, put the tray into Yan Cijing's hands, and ran into the house with the hem of his robe, halfway through he shouted, "Why did Master Yan help me?"

"I remember you. I was injured and went to the Taiyuan Hospital and almost collapsed. It was you who helped me!"

The internal officer wondered, when did this happen?How can he not remember?But listening to Mr. Yan's words in a decent way, I guess there is such a thing. It's just that he recognized the wrong person, but it doesn't matter. He will get the reward from Mr. Wei for the father-in-law who helped him!

Yan Cijing squatted on the tray, staring at the three dishes with cold eyes.

He thought about letting Wei Cheng be executed, beheaded or split, but he didn't expect to be poisoned in the end.

Yan Cijing squeezed out a pack of medicine from his sleeve, unfolded the paper pack and tilted it, and the yellowish powder was slowly being poured into the warm fish soup along the creases.

It was just a small move, but he actually broke out in a cold sweat.

"Snapped--"

Yan Cijing's wrist bone was grabbed by one hand, the powder was scattered, and half of it fell to the ground. Yan Cijing couldn't move, but he didn't raise his head. He secretly wrestled with the wrist, shaking off the remaining powder.

"You are crazy!"

Yan Cijing admitted: "Yes."

"It's easy to kill him, but the innocent people who died wronged because of him will never have a chance to avenge themselves!"

Yan Cijing's eyes moved slightly.

"I have a solution! You are not fighting alone!"

Yan Cijing was riding a tiger, unable to tell whether it was because the other party was stronger than him, or because the other party's words were too deceptive, the strength on his wrist was loosened, and he turned to his palm.

The whole medicine bag fell into the opponent's hand, and he raised his head along that hand. Although he had recognized the voice long ago, he was still slightly surprised when he saw Yu Fangzhi's calm and stern face.

Yu Fangzhi was even more surprised, this day's harvest is really not small: "You are going to kill Wei Cheng."

Yan Cijing smiled weakly, his eyes were full of tired scarlet: "You want to accept the reward from me?"

"I want to save you." Yu Fangzhi heard the powder in the medicine bag, and sure enough, it was mother-of-pearl powder, the mother-of-pearl powder that Du Yan ground that day.

"Save me?" Yan Ci mirrored the big joke, "I want you to save me? So what if you catch me? Fritillaria is non-toxic and can be used as medicine, so Wei Xiang can't mend it?"

Yu Fang knew that he couldn't get used to his ironic and desperate expression, and pinched his chin, twisting his handsome face, forcing him to lift his face, revealing the astonishment in his eyes.

Yu Fangzhi said in a deep voice: "The little eunuch who serves the dishes will definitely confess to you. Chuanwu is applied externally and Fritillaria is imported. Even if no one really finds out about your little trick, you will not feel better. It's good that Wei Cheng is dead. If he is not dead, how do you think he will treat you who personally repaired him?"

Yan Cijing's back was already wet with sweat, but he was still trying to hold himself back. After the astonishment, he sneered like a poisoned Bana flower: "gouge out my eyes, cut off a pair of ears, pull out my tongue, and cut off both of my eyes." hand?"

"Aren't you afraid?" Yu Fangzhi wiped the fine sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, "You are afraid, you are so scared to death." The Bana flower is fragile, and Yan Cijing held on for a while, his eyes trembling.

Yu Fang knew that the hand clamping his jaw had loosened, leaving two red marks on his fingers: "You don't believe me, but let me tell you, I want Wei Cheng to die more than anyone else."

"For me, it's too easy for him to die, and for him, it's too easy. I want him to pay off all the blood debts before entering Avichi Hell."

Yan Cijing didn't feel much more relaxed without the force wrapped around his jaw.

The distance between the two is very close, so close that he can clearly see the burning hatred in Yu Fangzhi's eyes. What surprised him was that this hatred was no less than his.

Yu Fang knew that he was a little farther away, he picked up the dish on the leg of Yan Ci's mirror with one hand, and pulled up Yan Ci's mirror with the other, dragging him, leading him step by step towards the magnificent and magnificent palace.

"If you insist on wanting Wei Cheng to die now, I will definitely do my best to stop you."

"Now, the only way you can go is to join hands with me."

After finishing talking, halfway up the stone steps, laughter and joy came from the hall, Yu Fangzhi let go of Yan Cijing, and continued to lift his legs up the steps.

There was no sound behind.

Yu Fangzhi was bending over with the vegetables, pretending to be an emissary, he didn't look back, he walked up the steps quickly, and finally heard the sound of footsteps behind him after walking up the stairs.

Step by step, extremely slow, hesitant and heavy, but finally followed.

Yu Fangzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

Entering the palace, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Yu Fangzhi had no choice but to accept the young master's disposition, hide his richness and arrogance, and pretend to be a trembling internal official, bowing down and placing the dishes on the long table in front of Wei Cheng superior.

The enemy was close at hand, Yu Fangzhi persuaded himself not to act rashly, and spared his dog's life for the time being, and quickly turned and left grabbing the tray.

"Hold on."

Yu Fangzhi was startled, turned around and bowed his head, his hat covered his sharp eyes, at this moment he was just a shivering internal officer: "My lord."

"The fish soup is so cold that it's very fishy, ​​take it away."

"Yes."

Yu Fang knew Duan took the fish soup, turned around, and threw a small cloth bag in his arms.

Yu Fangzhi held it in his hand and looked at it. He was so angry that he almost dumped the fish soup on Wei Cheng's head. When has he ever been insulted like this in his life? !

If you endure it any longer, you will become a Buddha!When Yu Fang knew that he was out of the palace gate, he threw the fish soup under the tree, walked around and returned to the palace, and stood quietly behind Yan Cijing.

Outside the hall, he was forced to rein in the precipice, Yan Cijing almost made a big mistake in a single thought, all the way back to the hall, his footsteps were vain, and now he sat down on his seat, he gradually had a sense of reality of being alive, and knew that what was guarding behind him was It is known from the language that he actually gave birth to a kind of strange stability.

Whether Yu Fang knew what Yan Cijing was thinking, he slipped out the cloth bag from his sleeve, like a hot potato, he couldn't keep it for a moment, and threw it into Yan Cijing's arms.

Yan Cijing was startled, he hesitated to pick up the cloth bag, opened it to see, there were some pieces of silver in it, he caught a glimpse of Yu Fangzhi's stinky face from the corner of his eye, and knew that he had been humiliated by Wei Cheng, it was rare to see him deflated, Yan Cijing Ci Jing found it interesting, tied the small rope and put the cloth bag into his sleeve.

The banquet was coming to an end, the emperor gave wine, and all the courtiers blushed from drinking, forgetting the etiquette and palace rules in the smell of wine, making a loud noise, and the hall was very noisy.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Yu Fangzhi boldly went to Yan Cijing's side to grab pastries and eat them.

The sweet-scented osmanthus cake with lotus root powder is sweet and refreshing, but Yu Fangzhi said: "It's so sweet, it's unpalatable."

The milk cake was white and smooth, and Yu Fangzhi took a small bite: "It stinks to death!"

The Furong Cake is fragrant and soft, and the words are difficult to eat: "Is there a choke in the palace? This shortbread can be used as a torture tool."

Yu Fang knew that all the unfinished cakes were thrown into Yan Cijing's bowl, Yan Cijing looked down at the tooth marks on the cakes, couldn't say a word, looked up and saw that he was about to hiccup, poured him a bowl of tea and sent it away Kindness, I still have to choke on my mouth:

"Sneaking into the palace secretly is so daring, should I also let you sit in my position?"

"Master Yan is really kind, how do you know that I am tired from standing?" Yu Fangzhi wanted to sit down after speaking, and Yan Cijing pushed away, completely arrogant!For the time being, the truce is not to allow him to show power over himself!

Yu Fangzhi was close, Yan Cijing smelled the faint fragrance of peach blossoms on his body, and knew that the disobedient official who supported him on the long street and ran away quickly after being questioned was Yu Fangzhi.

He asked in a low voice, "You followed me all the way after entering the palace?"

"Yes!" Yu Fangzhi smiled, "I saw you tampering with the jade dragon, tricking that idiot into offering Wei Cheng a treasure, causing Wei Cheng to cut off his hand, and now the gauze stained with Chuanwu is wrapped around his hand. Right? If I hadn't stopped you from putting Fritillaria powder into the fish soup, Chuanwu turned Fritillary, Wei Cheng would have convulsed and fell to the ground at this moment, what a pity!"

Yu Fangzhi sighed aloud, Yan Cijing thought to himself, saying how to join forces is a problem, Yan Cijing doesn't fully trust him, and Yu Fangzhi can't completely let go of his guard, what should be hidden must be hidden, fortunately he He didn't see himself entering the East Palace, so Xia Changying must not be dragged out.

Yu Fangzhi was still eating snacks behind Yan Cijing, and the crumbs fell on Yan Cijing's shoulders. Yan Cijing thought it was funny, and kept eating it when he said it was bad, but he suddenly stuffed half a piece of hibiscus puff pastry Put it into the mouth, clap your hands, take two steps back, lower your head to cover your face, pretending to be a good internal officer.

Yan Cijing felt strange, and when he turned around, he saw a square-faced eunuch bowing and saying, "Master Yan, Zheng Shangshu invites you to the side hall to have a talk."

"cough--"

The eunuch and Yan Cijing turned their heads at the same time, and saw an internal officer behind him with his hands stuck around his neck, his face blushing, and he looked like he was about to choke to death.

Yan Cijing stood up to block the chaotic words, handed back a cup of tea, and nodded to his father-in-law at the same time.

"Your Majesty, let's go."

The author says:

More!The two meet, and there will be a lot of joy in the future! (I've been busy recently, and the update is not stable, and it will be restored after a while!)
