Chapter 108 Xie Mansion Tower

Xianzhi was tilting his head to dodge, subconsciously turned his hand and raised his arm, wanting to use this to block the attack, the other hand secretly gathered strength, Xianzhi's eyes gradually became sharper, and after he thought about it, he raised his hand when he caught his palm. Push your hand.

Most of these critical reactions came from that Lord Shen, or Shen Changxie.Xie Wuling handed him and Lu Qi to Shen Changxie, and asked Shen Changxie to teach them how to practice martial arts. Shen Changxie seemed to be a bit harsh on him because of Shen Changyu's influence, especially in the martial arts arena. Love brought him here alone, and guided him one by one. I can't tell whether it is love that is deeply responsible, or that is full of hatred. Although Xianzhi is often tortured to bruises and bruises, it is good anyway. It is one, Lu Qi saw that he was hurt, and even came to comfort him with tears in his eyes, those childhood memories are the second.

Xian Zhi waited for a palm to fall, but before the palm fell, someone intercepted it.In the blink of an eye, Zhaoxing and Chongque Zengbu, who had been protecting each other by his side, appeared in an instant, and a man in black with pigtails quickly grabbed the man's wrist, grabbed the wrist and pushed back, holding his palm The wind turned to the left, and another monk in a black cassock appeared behind the man, resting a short dagger on the man's back with one hand, holding a string of rosary beads in the other hand, and said "goodness" in his mouth.

Xianzhi withdrew his hand and dissipated the anger gathered in his palm before straightening out his clothes. He was about to nod at the black-clothed braid, but the man who wanted to sneak up on him suddenly got angry, turned around, and pulled his hand away. , wanting to break free from his grasped wrist, but the person holding the dagger behind him was not afraid of killing him. As soon as he moved, the short dagger followed his back and drew a line down. The attacker frowned. Frowning, the movement stopped suddenly.In the current situation of pushing forward and backward, it should not be easy for him to get away.

Xianzhi looked at this person in his spare time, and this person seemed to feel Xianzhi's gaze. After he looked around, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes were like a peregrine falcon, and he stared closely at him with a hint of threat. Envy it.

Seeing this, Xianzhi pursed his lips and smiled lightly, dispelling the sharpness in his eyes, making the harshness look extremely insincere, not even close to the pair of romantic eyes.

The man withdrew his gaze, and abruptly took half a step back to meet the dagger that was on his back, the monk holding the dagger didn't expect him to make such a move, and wanted to withdraw his hand, the little braid in black also saw this, and reminded: "Be careful! "

Taking advantage of this haste, the man slipped his other hand to his waist, took a small crescent-shaped blade, and cut it straight at the hand of the person who grabbed his wrist. When you unload the force, pull your hand out.

However, he seems to have underestimated the hidden guard, at least the person in front of him, and his sensitivity to pain is not like ordinary people. Instead of letting go, the person who grabbed his wrist tightly clenched his hand and pushed him back He took advantage of the situation to catch him, and while he was struggling for the last time, the monk holding the dagger stepped forward and kicked him in the hollow of his knee. Because he didn't defend against the blow, he immediately knelt down.

Xian Zhi looked at this person seriously, his eyes lingered on the top of that person's head for a while, and then went down, just as he was watching that person hate the two guards beside him, he heard Xian Zhi After saying "Huren", he turned his gaze back to Xianzhi.

Envious eyes lingered on his sleeves, but he still couldn't see the clues, and he always felt that there was something different: "Look at what he helped under the sleeves?"

The dark guard with the pigtails in black immediately pinched his wrist and squeezed his wrist bone hard, causing him pain, and the thing hidden in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Xianzhi frowned, walked forward, and saw the crescent-shaped blade that fell from his sleeve, the blade was still stained with blood, presumably the blood on it was stained on his sleeve just now, That's why Xianzhi always feels that there is something different.

Xian Zhi hurriedly looked away, curled his lips, kicked the crescent-shaped blade away, glanced at the blade in the corner with a little disgust, and then asked: "You are a barbarian, what should you do with Sang Luo?" know."

"I don't know." The man said in a cold voice, but Fufeng's words were spoken in a correct manner. If it wasn't for the braid hidden in the high bun and his crescent sleeve knife, he would definitely not be envious. Recognize him as a barbarian.

"Sang Luo, it's your master." It was supposed to be a question, but Xianzhi said affirmative tone, followed by the man's sudden movement stagnation, raising his head with doubtful eyes, although the doubt was only for a moment, after that The look in the eyes became cold, but enough, the heart of envy has already understood.

He bypassed this person, walked in, and said as he walked, "Your master will not come back." Pushing open the door of the tower, he ordered, "Bring him up."

The dark guard got the order, and while he was still reminiscing about the words "Master will not come back", he tapped his acupoints to prevent him from struggling, and then pushed him upstairs.

The furnishings on the upper floor are as old as before, even exactly the same as when Xianzhi came here in the old days, almost exactly the same.If he didn't know that Sang Luo is inseparable from this tower, he would probably think that Xie Wuling still lives here.

The burnt candles are still clinging to the candlesticks, and the table is not stained with dust, which should be because it is often cleaned.A few pieces of black gold paper asked the paperweight to hold it down. When the wind came, it only lifted the edges of the black gold paper under the paperweight. Next to the paperweight was a porcelain pen rest. It was Lu Qi's first gift to Xie Wuling when he was young. Xie Wuling couldn't bear it. , put this pen on the tower, and it was really put on the shelf.

Looking at the surroundings, Xianzhi felt emotional for a moment. He took the old lake brush and couldn't help looking at it. He saw that the vermilion-dyed crack was still there in the jade at the tip of the lake brush, and he looked at it again. The corners of his mouth hooked.

He used to come up to the tower with Lu Qi to write a copybook. Lu Qi got angry with him and was ruthless. He grabbed the lake pen in his hand and threw it. The jade on the tip of the pen knocked on the ground. The crack was knocked out at that time. of.Later, the two of them thought together that they were afraid that Xie Wuling would be angry, so they let Lu Qi dip the tip of a pen in cinnabar, ran down the pagoda, and told Xie Wuling that it was a bad omen from heaven, and that the pen was bleeding.

At that time, Xie Wuling thought that he knew the ghosts of the two of them, so he was angry and funny, and said that he was punished to go to the clean place in Changle, so that he could be clean. When Lu Qi heard that he was going to leave home, his face turned pale immediately. This frightened Xie Wuling, he had a heart of compassion for a lifetime, and this matter was exposed.

Xianzhi took the lake pen, quietly put it under his sleeve, and walked away.He looked up again at the person who was brought up by the dark guard.

"What did your master leave behind?"

"The little guy doesn't know."

"I don't know?" Xianzhi took two steps, looked at the bookshelf behind the case, looked aimlessly, and said calmly, "That means I want to ask my good brother. ?”

While talking, Xian Zhi ran across the books on the shelf one by one, and paused on a blue book.He drew the blue book from the shelf.It is not considered a new book, but the paper has no signs of yellowing because it has been placed for many years and no one cares about it. On the contrary, it looks like it has been flipped frequently.

Most of the books on the tower are for display, not commonly used, and some of them were packaged directly from Duke Qin's mansion.But in this pile of new books, such a book was suddenly placed, which was naturally eye-catching. He held the book in his hand, and saw that the pages of the book were looser than other books, so he flipped through it very carefully.

He flipped through half of the book two or three times, and seeing that the book was full of Hu Wen, he couldn't find anything unusual, so he turned around and faced the kneeling Hu man.

"what's your name?"

After hearing his question, the barbarian gave him a contemptuous look, then bit his lips tightly, and didn't say a word.

Xianzhi remembered the name of a barbarian Xie Wuling once mentioned, so he called out like a blind cat: "A Lu Gu?"

The Hu man suddenly opened his eyes wide, and looked at Xianzhi. Seeing his movements, Xianzhi thought that his blind cat had really bumped into a dead mouse, so he raised his eyebrows unconcealedly, and moved the wooden tree in front of him. Pulling back the chair, sitting in front of the case, taking advantage of the chance of a break in the conversation, he asked immediately.

"Was it you who delivered the letter to Mr. Han yesterday?" Xianzhi looked at his expression carefully, saw that he lowered his head, looked away, and did not speak, then asked again: "Sang Luo arranged it in advance? "

Sang Luo wanted to keep Guanzhi, no matter he, Zhao Zuo and his master reached a consensus, but now Han Chao is required to plead guilty, which will undoubtedly send Guanzhi to prison faster. It's a final decision, how can Sang Luo protect Guanzhi, this is something Xie Lingjie can't figure out, the only possibility is what Sang Luo left for Guanzhi, as Xie Ling said, it must be that Something that makes the viewer confident.

"You can just keep silent and see who is the last drag. What happened yesterday is related to Zhao Guanzhi, and in the final analysis it is related to the face of the royal family. Naturally, the third division of the interrogation will not dare to neglect, you said Guanzhi can do it." How long will you stay in the prison?" Xian Zhi clicked his tongue, thought for a while, and said, "If you are alone, if you want to turn the tide from the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, it should be impossible to rescue Guan Zhi. If you pay Take your life..."

The man looked up at Xianzhi, as if he had been hit by Xianzhi's words, he took a few breaths, but heard Xianzhi's denial: "But it's probably impossible to lose your life, but it's a waste of money." Mr. Luo's thoughts, Ah Lugu, tell me, am I right?"

"wrong."

Xianzhi raised his eyebrows, leaned back, casually flipped through the pages of the book, and asked disapprovingly, "What's wrong?"

"Neither is right."

"Huh?" Xianzhi turned the pages of the book back, "He already knew that he would not come back, and he had already arranged the rest of the matter, so... isn't that right?"

Hearing this, the man gritted his teeth and remained silent for a while.At this moment, Xianzhi had finished flipping through the blue booklet, he raised his eyes to look at the kneeling person on the ground, and then looked away after a while, as if he had figured something out, his eyes lit up.

He stood up, calmed down the pages of the book, and said sternly: "Please, Mr. Alu Gulang, sit down on the back mountain of Juheng, and then bring him a jar of wine from the forest."

"This..." The monk stood behind the man, and when he heard Xianzhi's order, he couldn't help frowning and hesitated.

"He won't leave." The little pigtail in black was sure of Xianzhi's seriousness, and the doubts in his heart didn't disappear at all, but in front of this barbarian, both of them could only swallow the doubts in their hearts up.

After the monk turned around and asked him to be sent away, he exchanged a glance with the black-clothed braid beside him. The two exchanged eye contact for a long time, and finally Xianzhi spoke first, and he beckoned them to leave. Lo and behold.

"A Lu Gu is not his name, it should be Sang Luo's. He has such a big reaction to 'A Lu Gu', then..."

"But you let him see Mr. Sang Luo who is dead in the back mountain, in case he..."

Xianzhi opened the title page of the book and handed it out. On the title page were written a few lines:

To my friend Alugu

If you don't get drunk, the doctor's mulberry will fall into the wine, and you will be helpless in parting love

"This is Mr.'s handwriting."

"That's right. The barbarian also took a look at this book. He should have heard something from Sang Luo. Sang Luo didn't have any malice towards Master, and maybe... Anyway, it's a gamble, if he still doesn't Ken said, "Xianzhi paused, "Please ask Master to see him again." After finishing speaking, he curled his lips and ordered to the monk, "Take this booklet back and show it to Master. If you want to hide in it, Only the master should understand."

"Yes."

The monk clasped his hands together and made a salute, put the blue book into his sleeves, and walked out.

Xian Zhicai looked at the pigtail in black, and ordered in a low voice: "Let people watch Liang Cheng at any time. We can't hide our actions today from him. He probably knows that Guan Zhi can't protect him anymore. It's my turn."

The pigtail in black had just received the order to leave, but was stopped by Xianzhi: "Especially about Lu Qi, you must tell me."

Xiao Zhuang paused, looked back at Xian Zhi, nodded slowly, looked away, stood for a while, and then went down to the tower to give orders.

Under the order of the little pigtail in black, another hidden guard guarding the tower quietly crossed half of the city and headed for the Liang Mansion. At the gate of the Liang Mansion, a child had just walked into the deep alley. The dark guard hesitated for a while, or Letting him go, he found a high point by himself, inquired about the situation in Cheng Liang's mansion, and thought about how to sneak in.

On the side of Juheng Garden, the monk caught up with the barbarian and took him along the official road outside the city, and walked to the place where the coffin was parked from the trail leading into the garden from the back mountain.And Xianzhi patted his robe, entered the garden from the main entrance, and by the way asked the boy guarding the gate to go to the mother-in-law who sold tea to buy a bowl.

After giving the order, he entered the garden, but as soon as he stepped in, a little boy hurried forward.

"Master, Yushi Zhongcheng has been waiting for you for a while. Seeing that he is old, I really can't bear it, so I invite him to wait for you in Yunqi first."

"Yeah. Smart." Xianzhi praised him, and the boy immediately grinned.

Xianzhi also frowned: "Let's ask the housekeeper for more money."

After finishing speaking, the little boy's smile froze, Xianzhi patted his shoulder with his hand, and then walked towards Yunqi.

But the braid in black stopped and comforted the little boy: "There are many smart people in this garden, but the ones who can stay are those who know their duty. The master doesn't like those who are too smart."

Xianzhi walked through the corridor and went straight to the main hall of Yunqi. The moment he entered the door, the smile disappeared from the corner of his mouth.

"My lord." Xian Zhi leaned over and said.

"Lord Xinling." Seeing this, Yushi Zhongcheng came forward to help him again and again, and said, "If you can't do it, how can the old minister stand it?"

Xianzhi pursed his lips, and then turned his hand to support Yu Shi Zhongcheng's arm, leading him to sit down, and said, "So, it is envy's fault to keep your lord waiting for a long time." Yu Shi Zhongcheng breathed a sigh of relief, and listened again Xianzhi asked, "I wonder if my lord came to Juheng personally for..."

"The old minister just wants to confirm with Lord Xinling about one thing."

"Tell me." Xian Zhi poured tea for Zhong Cheng.

"I don't know how much the Master of Xinling knew about the princess of Qi country back then?"

Xian Zhi paused for a moment before he asked, "What do you mean, my lord?"

"At the beginning, Mr. Xie... Xiao's plan could be realized on Princess Qi. In the final analysis, it was Emperor Hui who wanted to suppress the Lu family. The impressive mother family is also your mother family. Now you are repeating the old drama..."

"The Liang family?" Xianzhi handed over the teacup, took out an embroidered handkerchief beside him, wiped his hands, and looked at the person in front of him. He grabbed the robe on his lap.

Seeing his small gesture, Xianzhi slowly opened his mouth and said, "Your Excellency is worried too much. Isn't it fair for the three divisions to interrogate?"

"you……"

"Does your lord know all about Princess Qi's case?" Xianzhi cast a sideways glance.

Seeing Xianzhi's eyes, Zhong Cheng hesitated for a long time before gritting his teeth and said softly: "The Lord of Xinling doesn't know something, entrusted by Emperor Zuo, the third division took over the living notes of the first emperor and studied them. "

Xianzhi heard the words and nodded understandingly: "So that's it, I mean why did your lord suddenly visit Juheng Garden. If that's the case, then I think my opinion, your lord should understand by now. Back then, what the master meant wasn't necessarily what the father meant. The emperor's intention, but today's action must be the father's intention, if there is any mistake, Xianzhi will go to Changming first to accept the crime."

Yu Shi Zhongcheng also heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words.Xianzhi also handed the teacup in his hand, and patted the backs of the hands of the two court veterans meaningfully: "Then I have to ask some adults to explain to Fufeng about the observation."

Yu Shi Zhongcheng nodded in agreement, and chatted with Xianzhi for a few more words before he raised his intention to leave.

Xianzhi smiled, got up and sent him outside the garden.

Standing by the side of the carriage, Zhong Cheng said a few extra words: "Lord Xinling, those daily life notes are not simple, if you have time..."

"Living notes are not simple in themselves." Xianzhi should have come, otherwise Xie Wuling wouldn't have taught Lu Qi how to look at living notes when he was still young.

But several daily notes are still several daily notes.Xianzhi waved his hand at the frame that was going away, and sighed helplessly: "The few words written in the daily life, how can it contain everything about a person, isn't it all one-sided?"
