51. Assassin(1/2)
Shu Lang led the convoy to finally arrive at the princess's mansion. Chen Guangming looked curiously and found that it was very quiet and the road was clean and spacious. He could see at a glance that this place was a place where wealthy families lived, and he couldn't help but feel excited.
After the princess got off the car, Shu Lang carried her into the red painted gate with the lantern with the word "wood". The group each carried their luggage and objects and walked in one after another. In addition to Shen Guangming, the rest of the people were familiar with this place. He was extremely curious and pitiful. No one communicated with him. Along the way, he could only watch the dead leaves hanging on the branches and passed by in silence.
After everyone packed up, they stood in the corridor. Chen Guangming didn't know what they were waiting for, and also stood straight at the end of the line. After standing for a while, Shu Lang walked out and saw it, frowned.
"What are you doing standing there? Come and take care of your mother." He rushed to Chen Guangming, "Do you still want to go back?"
Chen Guangming ran to him and said strangely: "Go back?"
Shu Lang led him to walk in a twists and turns, and told him how to resettle these people.
Since these Di people didn't understand Chinese, they were not easy to stay in Lingyong City, so after sending Mindal here, they would return to the grassland every year. This mansion was the home before Mindal got married, and now there are no relatives left, and only one cousin lives here to help with the care. There were originally servants in the mansion, so no one needed to serve them.
"I understand what my mother's meaning is. When she misses home, she naturally thinks you miss home." Shu Lang took a few steps and looked back at Chen Guangming, "Or do you want to go back to the grassland?"
"Don't go back, don't go back." Chen Guangming said quickly.
Shu Lang smiled with a snorted: "Yes, I bought you as a slave. Of course, you hate me, why are you willing to go back?"
Chen Guangming shook his head and said, "How could the little one hate the prince? It's all because the prince is not on the grassland, and the desert is desolate and the winter grass is withered. The little one can't follow the prince when he goes back. What's the point?"
He looked at Shu Lang intently, holding back his bright eyes and dared not blink to show his sincerity.
Shu Lang: "..."
He was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and coughed, and then shouted fiercely: "Get in! Serve your mother! Don't use your tongue to deceive people!"
Chen Guangming bent down and bowed repeatedly, and rolled in with a smile.
The princess and cousin who lives in the mansion is a scholar, sitting in a wooden wheelchair. He came in calmly, said a few words and went out again.
When Mindal returned to the city, her complexion suddenly improved a lot and she could barely get up. Seeing that Chen Guangming was curious about the wheelchair under the man, she explained to him.
The scholar's name was Xu Zichuan. He failed many exams. Later, he returned to Lingyong City because his parents died of illness. He has been teaching Shu Lang to study and never left. His legs were not like this. More than ten years ago, he did not return for several days. His family thought he was willing to get promoted and make money, so he went to take the exam again, but he didn't look for it carefully. As a result, a few days later, he was discovered by the people guarding the city outside the city, and the bones below his knees were broken and he could never stand up again.
"He really couldn't leave, so Lang'er kept learning from him. My cousin didn't like Mule, and I didn't know the reason, but fortunately he loved Lang'er quite." Mindal recalled, "He didn't know who beat him like this, he just said that he was blinded for those days and didn't know anything."
Chen Guangming asked, "A living person is gone, and the family doesn't even look for it carefully? Are his writing and ink and the materials for taking the exam still there?"
Mindal looked at him deeply: "It's all there. His clothes are there, his shoes, socks, and silver are not taken away."
Chen Guangming: "...that's not right. This means that people must not leave by themselves."
"Okay... In fact, he had a passionate fight with a lady in the city at that time. After his cousin disappeared, the woman disappeared, so everyone thought the two of them had eloped." Mindal's tone suddenly changed into gossip, "The woman was very beautiful, and she was the best beauty in Lingyong City back then."
Chen Guangming flattered at the right time: "It's impossible that you are more beautiful than you, Princess, right?"
He said casually and laughed. Mindal and the maid beside her laughed when they saw that he was saying this flattery so unbearable. But although they knew that this was flattering themselves, Chen Guangming was smart and handsome. He flattered him, just like he was joking with others openly, without any shyness or embarrassment, but instead made people feel open and interesting.
Mindal smiled and continued, "I'm already married, that's incomparable. Strangely, my cousin did not leave with the girl. He said he was taken away outside the house. He didn't know what the girl left because of. The girl hasn't found it yet."
Chen Guangming listened with relish. He had developed the habit of listening to stories since he was a child with Fang Dazao. Now what Mindal said casually was all gossip he had never heard of in Lingyong City, so he became even more excited.
The maid in the mansion did not have as many rules as the one on the side of King Dongyuan. Seeing that the princess was talking and laughing with this little slave with ordinary clothes, she gradually interrupted, and added details that Mindal didn't know to Chen Guangming with words and words.
Among these old stories, Xu Zichuan became a rare Wenqu star in Lingyong City and even the whole world. He spoke beautiful articles and wrote magnificent wind and rain. When he was fifteen years old, he sang a poem on the wall of Lingyong City, which immediately won the favor of the courtesans and attracted the jealousy of all the talents in Lingyong City. The poem is still engraved on the wall, and it is not known how much it has been damaged by wind and rain.
I also heard that Xu Zichuan had completed the thirteen volumes of "Selected Poems of Golden and Jade" by himself, and judged all the poems written by poets in the world. The verdict was not polite, which inspired literary masters from the age of 80 to ten-year-old prodigy, and came to ask for an explanation. Xu Zichuan met one after another, and collected ten cents of people and discussed and discussed with him carefully for half a day. Over time, Xu Zichuan actually saved up money for a house.
"So the things in this mansion were repaired by my cousin. Don't be careful that he can't walk, he really knows astronomy and geography. I admire them very much." Mindal praised Xu Zichuan in every way.
They said Xu Zichuan so violently that when Chen Guangming saw him wandering around in the mansion at night, he couldn't help but stand up straight and said "Mr. Xu" respectfully.
Xu Zichuan was very noble, his eyes quickly circled Shen Guangming's face, nodded casually, and left quackly with the wheel. The black cat sleeping on his legs curled up into a roundness. Shen Guangming looked at the cat's hair, and then at the thick mink fur around Xu Zichuan's neck, and suddenly felt chills.
While walking to the servant's room, he silently recalled whether Shu Lang had said he wanted to send winter clothes to the slaves.
Turning around the corner, Shen Guangming suddenly stopped.
Although he was busy and chaotic during these days, he practiced the Dalu Gong every morning and evening, and did not dare to give up at all. It was not because he was afraid of pain, but because he wanted to become more powerful as soon as possible. He also brought Lin Che's spiritual card. As long as he thought about the things in the blazing fire, he could immediately concentrate and stop thinking about other things.
Therefore, his internal strength has indeed entered the country.
Shen Guangming stood motionless against the wall.
Although there are guards with high martial arts skills in the mansion, this is the servant room. The guards and Shu Lang are on the other side of Mindar, so the defense here is much looser.
He listened intently and then, and was sure that there was another person's breathing on the roof tiles above his head.
The visitor is also a master, his steps are light and almost silent. If it weren't for the strange sound of his breathing, Shen Guangming would not have noticed it.
The man seemed to realize that someone was lying on the roof without moving.
Chen Guangming wanted to call someone, but was afraid that the assassin would get rid of himself after a few pokes his fingers, so he had to look around and see if there was anything to borrow.
While thinking, a light sound suddenly came from the roof - the man stood up and ran towards Mindal!
Chen Guangming quickly chased after him. His internal strength had improved, and he worked day by day to work, but his speed was not slow. He was still afraid of death and did not dare to scream. He just looked at the man on the roof and ran with him on the ground.
The man walked past two rooms and seemed to feel that Shen Guangming was very troublesome. Although he kept walking, he grabbed his hand in his arms and took out several pieces of things that were shining with cold light.
Chen Guangmingxin said badly: This person has a hidden weapon!
He happened to run to the middle of a garden, without any cover everywhere, and could not be avoided.
The black-clothed assassin turned around and several thin hidden weapons flew towards Chen Guangming. Chen Guangming happened to be standing under a lantern, and the candlelight reflected his entire face clearly.
As soon as the hidden weapon arrived, the assassin actually launched first and then arrived, landed in front of Shen Guangming, and reached out to grab the flying thin piece into his hand.
Chen Guangming was surprised. The assassin grabbed his collar and dragged him behind the rockery: "Chen Guangming? Why are you here?"
Chen Guangming: "...Who are you?"
The assassin pulled off the mask on his face, revealing a handsome but bad-looking face.
"Oh!" Chen Guangming almost shouted with joy, "Chi head!"
Chi Yebai nodded: "It's me..."
"You haven't seen each other for many days, you are still so beautiful." Chen Guangming looked at him happily.
Chi Yebai was silent for a moment and put on his mask again: "Stop talking nonsense, the people from Shaoyi League are looking for you."
He recalled the scene when he saw Chen Guangming that day. He remembered that the young man stood behind Lin Shaoyi with Tang Ou. Tang Ou was Lin Shaoyi's close friend, so the young man should be Lin Shaoyi's follower. Chi Yebai thought of Lin Shaoyi drawing a portrait and made a special trip to Yingbeishe to ask for help, so he naturally believed that Chen Guangming must be a member of Shaoyi Alliance.
Tang Daxia was helping his best friend find someone. He confirmed another thing.
"The Shaoyi Alliance is looking for you very well. Someone has come to Lingyong City." Chi Yebai whispered, "Why are you here?"
Chen Guangming finished speaking in a few words, his eyes full of excitement: He was extremely sure that he could finally leave.
"Chi Dean, why are you here?" he asked.
"The doctor who came to see the doctor who treated the Princess Dongyuan, the so-called holy hand slaughtering Gan." Chi Yebai said cheerfully, "Where is he?"
"I haven't seen him yet." Chen Guangming asked casually, "Is anyone in your family sick?"
Chi Yebai: "It's not my family, it's Bailiji."
Chen Guangming was shocked: "?!"
There were many things that Chen Guangming was unclear about that fire, so Chi Yebai briefly told him about Bailiji's fate. When Bailiji killed Liu Shushu and Fang Dazao, he was surprised to see Chen Guangming bit his lower lip tightly, and tears were everywhere in his wide eyes.
"What's wrong with you?" Chi Yebai didn't know the origin of Chen Guangming and Fang Dazao and others, so he asked stammeringly. He had always spoken indifferently, and his tone was as gentle as possible at this time.
Chen Guangming lowered his head, covered his face with his sleeves, and said in a muffled voice that it was okay.
He said it was okay, but he couldn't put his sleeves down. He finally took them back, but the next moment he quickly raised his hand to cover his eyes.
Chi Yebai knew that he was crying, but he didn't know why. He raised his hand stiffly and patted Shen Guangming on his shoulder a few times, just as comforting him.
"Then the two are familiar with you?" he asked.
Chen Guangming still didn't dare to look up and paused his head to answer.
"Bailiji was not much better. He fell into the Yulan River and was washed away by the river for dozens of miles. When the Sima family fished him up, they only had half a breath." Chi Yebai said solemnly, "But he is an important witness in this matter, and he can't die like this."
Sima Feng and Chi Yebai came with their own people that night, but they came a little late. When everyone crossed the river, they accidentally found Bailiji, which looked like a floating corpse. He was covered in blood and fell into a coma. Sima Feng immediately sent him to the nearest Sima family property to settle. A doctor used medicine to vent Bailiji's life, but Bailiji was unconscious and had little use. Sima Feng immediately suggested to Chi Yebai that Chi Yebai would use his intelligence network to find the legendary holy hand Tu Gan. Tu Gan is said to have a magical medical book that can bring about a life. If he could save Bailiji, he would naturally ask many things from Bailiji.
After Chi Yebai communicated with Lin Shaoyi, Lin Shaoyi also agreed to the proposal. If Baili Ji could survive, he could tell what Xinjiabao and Xin Muyun were planning. Xin Muyun never showed up from beginning to end, and Shaoyi Alliance has not yet experienced or time to find trouble for Xinjiabao.
"When you ask what Shaoyi Alliance wants to know, it's not too late to let him die." Chi Yebai said seriously, "You may not know that the Sima family is a Xingming family, and Sima Feng knows too many torture things."
Chen Guangming nodded. Chi Yebai was about to tell him the tricks of Sima Feng, but suddenly remembered the important matters he had made. He immediately turned to look at Mindar and said, "Have the princess slept?"
After he said this, Chen Guangming didn't care about the sadness and hurriedly pulled him: "Don't catch the princess, I can help you pay attention to the news about the holy hand slaughtering Gan. The princess is very good, and now she is sick again. I'll help you with the boss."
Chi Yebai thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, then I won't go. Remember to pay attention tomorrow. I'll come again tomorrow night and discuss with you how to save you."
He wiped the wet marks on Chen Guangming's face, handed him the few hidden weapons just now to defend himself, turned around and jumped onto the wall and turned over. Unexpectedly, his belt was suddenly grabbed by Chen Guangming.
Chi Yebai: "...Let go, I hate others touching my belt."
"I'll ask two things." Chen Guangming sniffed, "Do you know how my sister Chen Qing is doing now?"
"I haven't heard of this name before." Chi Yebai shook his hand away.
Chen Guangming: "Are there anyone else looking for me except the Shaoyi Alliance?"
Chi Yebai thought about it and Tang Ou was also helping Lin Shaoyi come to him, and he should be included in the Shaoyi Alliance. He shook his head: "No."
Chen Guangming was a little disappointed, wiped his nose and waved to Chi Yebai: "Okay. Chi, please be careful, see you tomorrow."
Chi Yebai, who jumped onto the wall, paused, turned around and said awkwardly: "Don't be sad. Good people will have a good place to go, and those evil people will definitely be retribution. You practice martial arts well, and you can avenge those two people and comfort them in the future."
