Sealing Knife

After Tang Zhiyang finished speaking the last word, Jing Wang Chuyan was furious, kicked over the sandalwood case in the study, and the ink, paper, and inkstones smashed the floor, and no one dared to speak in silence here.

“Chu Wanning, Chu Wanning, what a Chu Wanning!”

As soon as Princess Jing entered the room, a porcelain cup smashed at her feet. She lowered her eyes and saw that this was the tea set that she described in her early years. The prince always liked it, but now she abandoned it. , Or not thinking about it at all.

The fingers of the kerchief tightened, and Princess Jing felt relieved: Fortunately, A Yao had been taken away by his master.

Chu Yan’s anger persisted: “The princess is not in the Yaoguang Pavilion, is it what Chu Wanning said?”

“Looking at Princess Chen’s face alone, in the name of the princess, the prince should also call her elder sister, be careful to speak.” Princess Jing carefully avoided shattered pieces of porcelain and walked to him with a soft relief, quickly suppressing Chu Yan’s anger .

Jing Wang has a strong temperament, but only wears a gentle and stable shell. In contrast, the princess is too soft and too quiet. The tranquility is like the pool water of the rockery in the courtyard. Even if the eyebrows are motivated, it is like a spring breeze.

It’s no wonder that Jing Wang didn’t even accept the concubine even if she had only one son. She was wholeheartedly good to her, and she did not shy away from big things or small affections. Apart from her relationship with the Tang family, she also trusted the princess’s love.

Seeing Chu Yan depressed, the princess said: “The princess didn’t say much, only that the inheritance of blood is not easy, she and the horse are no longer Shaohua, and they are very cautious about their children, not to mention that his majesty is old and even more grandchildren. More value ‘. “

As soon as this remark came, Tang Ma’s face turned ugly in an instant.

Princess Jing glanced at him and said: “The plan of Datong Temple should be considered from the long side. For this matter, it hurts the heir and makes a big deal with the princess. It is not a good thing for the Tang family or Princess Chen.”

When she talked to the end, she put down the ginseng tea she had prepared by herself, and the maid quickly cleared up the mess, so she simply walked away without any delay.

After Chu Yan watched her leave, he signaled Tang Zhiyin to close the door. There were two people in the study besides them, a young man with tall heroes and a middle-aged man with white-faced whiskers.

Lin Xiaowei, the head guard of the Wang Mansion, and Zheng Qiu, the military assistant.

The Ming Army’s secret guards are all here, and it can be seen that Jing Wang has been unable to hold back.

Zheng Qiu had the highest rank among the four, so he sneered at Tang Zhiyang and said unkindly: “Princess is so majestic, you married a good wife, Zhiyang!”

Since Chu Xun asked for blessings early this morning, Chu Yan returned to his house to call for deployment. He intends to use this opportunity to move his hands and feet, even if he loses his life, he will be delaminated, regardless of disability or disfigurement, he will lose the opportunity to treasure. Try to splash dirty water on the other princes and kill two birds with one stone.

However, Princess Yuning petitioned before going to the Imperial Court, but this plan had to be shelved.

She is the only daughter of Princess Tang Chen and the wife of Tang Zhiyang, and she is still pregnant. If they have made a little mistake in their actions, it will be difficult to explain.

Even though Tang Chenfei said more than once that Princess Yuning had centrifuged her in the past, she still could not bear the only biological flesh. Besides, her existence was also a big bargaining chip for Tang Chenfei before the collapse of Emperor Chongzhao. Offended.

“She did this to give Chu Xun an amulet. For this reason, she threatened her uncle with her and her children. Tonight, when she was close to the king’s palace, she put us in front of her father and emperor. If something goes wrong, the king’s palace cannot escape.” Chu Yan looked cold, “So, not only can we not start this time, but also protect people.”

Zheng Qiu frowned: “How can Princess Yuning know that we are going to start?”

Chu Yan looked at Lin Xiaowei, his voice turned cold: “Gu Xiao, where did you go today?”

As the master of Chu Xun, and the least senior in Jing Wang Mansion, he is indeed the most doubtful person. At first, Chu Yan was willing to let him take Chu Xun, but it also meant to put it as an eyeliner next to Chu Xun, but the other party was not his own arrogant after all, and he should never be negligent.

“Looking back to the Lord, the subordinates don’t know.” Lin Xiaowei panicked and bowed his head. “He has great merit, and there are secret guards all over the city. The people of his subordinates dare not follow too closely, only knowing that he has not entered the palace today.”

Chu Yan said coldly: “I handed the Dark Guard forces into your hands seven years ago, but it took him only three years to make you blind.”

Lin Xiaowei gave birth to a chill. He was the first to kill Gu Lifang and leave Gu Xiao first, because compared to the experienced and fierce Gu Lifang, a junior who was just out of the rivers and lakes was obviously better at controlling the use. However, during the past three years, when Gu Xiao expanded the dark guards of the Jingwang Mansion more than twice, and spread the dark net under the eyes of the emperor, the former contempt had already turned into fear.

If the ancestral burial master who lives far away in the mountains is a ghost covered in human skin, Gu Xiao is a demon tree that grows longer than light but roots in darkness, and grows fast on flesh and blood, regardless of martial arts vision or mental means , To the present day, everyone in the house is not afraid.

They spent three years turning a wolf cub into a hungry wolf.

Lin Xiaowei wanted to cross the river more than once to dismantle the bridge, but all of his hands and feet had concerns, and if he didn’t pay attention, he would show his bottom. When the trouble was even worse, he could only hook Gu Fangfang’s things with such fear and enthusiasm.

Since he could not kill and seize power for the time being, he could only stabilize for the time being. Fortunately, at that time, there were few clues left, and Gu Xiao was seen under the eyes of Jing Wang, and it was difficult to obtain accurate and useful information on the matter.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: “My lord, although Gu Xiao and Chu Xun have the names of mentors and apprentices, but he has more mentorship with Shizi, not to mention the Datong Temple incident, we should not know in advance. , It is naturally too late to divulge intelligence. “

“If it wasn’t for him, how did the news leak?” During the speech, Zheng Qiu glanced at Tang Zhiyang, his unintended intentions were obvious.

Tang Zhiyang clenched his five fingers tightly: “Master Zheng thought it was the general thief who called to catch the thief?”

Before Zheng Qiu satirized, Chu Yan opened his mouth: “There is another possibility … Princess.”

As soon as the remark came out, the faces of the three people were shocked. Zheng Qiu muttered: “How can the princess …”

“After today, she sent someone to send a new perfume to the mother princess. The maidservant said that the princess was also present at the time. The incense is called” Tongning “, and the wooden box has a hand-painted” guard palace “pattern.” , Chu Yan picked up the ginseng tea, rubbing the smooth cup wall, “I didn’t think much about it until this tea …”

Lin Xiaowei horrifiedly said: “Is the tea poisonous?”

“The princess won’t be like this, but she is careful and careful not to remember that the king hates the taste the most.” Chu Yan threw the tea cup on the table and spilled half of the rice paper, blurring the unfinished letters on it. Back to Gan, after all, it is classified as a white water … she is warning the king, and she closes her hand. “

Zheng Qiu thought more: “Does this mean the princess herself, or the meaning of Master Tang?”

Tang Zhiyang shook his head: “Father and the prince have already allied with each other, is there any reason to turn against the water at this critical moment?”

“Women are always easy-hearted, especially if she has A Yao.” Chu Yan said lightly, “A Yao is eleven years old. If the king is fine, the life of glory and wealth is always stable. The princess does not expect him to have What a great achievement is enough. If the king fails, even this kind of life will never return. She is willing to live and die with the king, but she is reluctant to share the hardships with us. “

Tang Zhiyang, as a brother of Princess Jing, immediately said in a cold voice: “In the view of a woman, she will grow others’ ambition before extinction!”

“The princess’s worries are not unreasonable, this king does not blame her, but … this king hates losing most, and naturally will not lose.” Chu Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiao Xue Lin, “Three years, according to your opinion , Do you think Gu Xiao can still be trusted now? “

Lin Xiaowei said: “As long as he does not know the truth one day, he is credible.”

Chu Yan tapped his forehead lightly: “How can there be paper that can hold the fire under this sky?”

He is hesitant, but he is reluctant to benefit from the benefits brought by Gu Xiao. After all, as a prince, there are countless people looking at him in every move, and secretly planning is very important, which almost means decision making.

Lin Xiaowei had been in charge of the Dark Guard for seven years, and could only barely fight against other forces in court, until Gu Xiao came to reorganize some of the descendants of the past in three years, and then re-arranged the Dark Guard to arrange training. Now the sound of the entire Beijing Capital Was placed in front of Chu Yan, was placed between two palms by Gu Xiao.

Because of this, he was born with fear.

Gu Xiao can grow up like this, how long can Gu Lifang keep him away?

Do you want to delay and then deceive yourself?

Zheng Qiudao: “How many people are insiders besides us four?”

Lin Xiaowei said: “At that time, the deceased who had gone to the funeral palace with their subordinates had all become sealed dead. Afterwards, the subordinates also personally took people to burn the Feiyun Peak. The mountains and living creatures are desperate now. Knowing the truth is still alive, only Helen Palace Master remains, but … “

Chu Yao frowned: “But what?”

“The subordinates went to Mi Zu Ling to contact the Palace of Burial Souls, and the main owner of the Palace of Helian sent a man, saying that the prince might be useful.”

Tang Zhiyang asked: “Who?”

“One of his men is said to have ordered the caretaker of the Weeping Blood Cave three years ago and used Gu Xiao’s sentence.”

Chu Yan was startled, and then laughed: “Okay! Thank you for the king of the palace!”

Lin Xiaowei said: “The Lord Helian gave the people to his subordinates and asked the subordinates to bring a word to the prince.”

Chu Yan was at a time when he was in a good mood, and he said: “What did he say?”

After a moment of hesitation, Lin Xiaowei said, “Helian Palace Lord said that his old injuries recurred, and the heart of the burial soul palace was in desperate need of rectification, and that the missing mountain was far away from the high road of Tianjing Mountain. On the day the Lord got his wish, he will go to Tianjing to toast and congratulate you. “

The smile on Chu Yan’s face disappeared.

Zheng Qiu and Tang Zhiyang frowned together. The cooperation between Jingwang Mansion and Burial Soul Palace has always been secret and crucial. At this critical juncture, the Burial Soul Palace did not go backwards, which is not good news.

What exactly does Helian Yu mean?

For a while, Chu Yan asked unclearly: “The old injury of the palace recurred, what kind of injury? What is the problem now? You, but are you sure?”

Lin Xiaowei hesitated for a moment, and said, “The subordinates are now in the Zongling Mountains. They were invited to the main peak forbidden ground by an exception. He saw the Lord Helian Palace practicing luck in the cold spring. There were indeed three sword wounds on his body.

Tang Zhiyang stunned: “Sword injury?”

“The two are on the front chest and back, and the centrifugal mouth is very close, and the other is on the shoulder, and it can cut the neck and seal the throat by two points … With my eyes, I can confirm that this is an old wound, but The wound is difficult to heal, and it has cracked again recently. “

Chu Yan finally surprised his face: “Who can hurt him so far?”

Lin Xiaowei said: “A dead man.”

The other three in the house finally settled in. Since they were dead, no matter how terrible the other party was in life, they are not afraid now.

Chu Yan slowly sat down and tapped his finger on the table: “Since the palace master is not quitting, then that’s all. With his gift, the king can completely tie Gu Xiao to the warship, and the matter of the dark web can also be reassured for the time being. … Lin Chao, the guests from the north are coming, and you have to be prepared. “

He said obscurely, Lin Xiaowei immediately understood: “Yes!”

At this moment, a confidant’s announcement came from outside the door: “Lord, Gu Weiwei begs to see.”

When Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, the four people in the room looked at each other. Zheng Qiu left the secret road with special status. Lin Xiaowei quickly recovered the machine and Chu Yan said, “Let him come in.”

Gu Xiao stepped into the door with a wind and dust, did not see much, did not talk much, directly reached into his arms and presented a thin page of paper, saying: “Tonight belonged to the squat point of the Zuichun Building and saw the courtier of the Libe The prostitute who violated the rules asked some things by some means, and asked the lord to look around. “

There were only a few words on the paper, but Chu Yan’s gaze stayed on it for a long time before he transferred it to Zheng Qiu, staring closely at Gu Xiao: “Is this serious?”

“Your Majesty will be the emperor’s grandson in three days, and the edict has been prepared.” Gu Xiaodao said, “The purpose has not been formally issued yet, and Your Majesty has ordered the Ministry of Etiquette to make preparations, showing that the determination has been determined.”

Chu Yan sullenly faced, Tang Zhiyang said coldly: “Although taking the maid does not take the son, but this is not a son, is your majesty not afraid of incurring dissent?”

“He couldn’t believe us.” Chu Yan smiled coldly, “Although the Second Emperor’s brother is still, but his Yu Wei is still there, and he is backed by the Situ family, plus the resentment and resentment of the Qin Gong case, if the Father and Emperor chose him, I am afraid Even the closed eyes are not stable … As for the brothers of this king, except for the old five, they are all useless. Unfortunately, he is a born nine finger. How can he be the emperor?

Gu Xiaodao said: “Since this is the case, the prince should be expected by everyone.”

Chu Yan’s face was even more ugly. It was thick unwillingness and resentment, and it returned to normal in a flash.

Tang Zhiyang said in a timely manner: “Lord, we might as well try again.”

King Jing said: “What to try?”

“Try Baiguan’s opinion on this matter, and try your majesty’s attitude towards his children.” After a moment of pause, Tang Zhiyang said in a deep voice, “The tenth prince is straightforward, and if he learns of this matter, he will definitely not be silent … Success is difficult to defeat. If it is not successful, it will make it difficult for Duan Wang to be alone. The more muddy the water, the more beneficial it will be to the prince. “

Jing Wang was startled, and then laughed: “Okay!”

Gu Xiao said nothing, and became a silent stone statue together with Lin Xiaowei. It was the right way to be the oligarch of the Dark Guard. When he should not speak, he should not say more than one word.

Jing Jing saw him and suddenly said: “Lin Xiaowei, you have been to the southwest for more than a month, but you have found news of the Burial Soul Palace?”

After hearing the words, Lin Xiaowei immediately remembered the appropriate talents and summed up his long-cherished rhetoric: “Look back to Lord Ye, his subordinates were ordered to investigate who the royal family was colluding with the Burial Soul Palace. They ventured into the Lost Ridge and accidentally found the deputy Gu. A living mouth of the matter has been escorted back to Wangfu Mi … “

Lin Xiaowei didn’t finish it, because he looked at Gu Xiao, his voice stopped abruptly.

The young man who didn’t reach the weak crown looked faint and looked too calm. One hand fell on the handle of Jinghong, slowly rubbing, and his voice was colder than the cold wind of this autumn night: “Oh?”

He glanced at Gu Xiao’s eyes.

The blade broke cold light from the square inch box.
