Server SkyVids Link 960 Version 267

"There are assassins!"

Where did Mr. Feng ever see such a scene, he exclaimed: "Come on! Come on, there are assassins!"

Feng Guanshi felt a chill in his heart, he didn't understand martial arts at all. Concubine Shizi was accompanied by two maids and Ren Zinan, who was missing an arm. I'm afraid this time is not good...

The four masked men lowered their bodies and accelerated sharply, approaching Nangong Yue like black panthers.

Lily stepped forward and said, "Cousin, you protect the imperial concubine." As she said that, she whipped out another whip, like a snake coming out of a hole, wrapped around a masked man, and then waved her big arm to take advantage of the situation. thrown out.

At the same time, the ghostly Xiao An also appeared in the chaos at some point. Before he could swing his sword, he had already kicked over a masked man.

The masked man at the head shrank his pupils, raised the long sword in his hand, and ordered: "Give it to me! Whoever kills the prince will be rewarded!"

It really came for me! Nangong Yue's expression froze, and she thought to herself: Who would send these people? There should be just a few people she has offended recently...

"Yes, boss!" The other three masked men shouted in unison.

Two of the masked men attacked Xiao An, while the other grabbed the gap and charged towards Nangong Yue, silver swords like poisonous snakes spitting letters.

"With you?!" Lily sneered disdainfully, and swung out another whip, accurately wrapping the opponent's neck. She exerted a slight force and tightened it suddenly.

"Whoosh!" A cold arrow suddenly shot from a tree, as fast as a shooting star, and the target was Lily.

When Baihui saw it, she cried out: "Lily, be careful!"

Lily hurried to dodge, but her opponent suddenly grabbed her whip and made her movements stop for a moment... When fighting, just that short moment is the key to deciding the outcome and life... …

Baihui's face turned pale with fright. Seeing that the cold arrow was about to be stabbed, a gray figure suddenly strode forward and grabbed Lily's arm and turned around. It was only this inch away that the cold arrow was on Lily's body. It was dangerously brushed by, and Lily was so shocked that it was inevitable that she would break out in a cold sweat.

Feeling that she had lost face this time, she angrily slashed a knife on the back of the masked man's neck, knocking him unconscious.

Following only a loud "dong" sound, a black figure fell from the tree just now and fell heavily on the ground. Then Xiao Ying lightly jumped down from the tree, clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "Lily, no thanks."

Lily glared at him angrily, thinking: Who wants to thank you!

At the same time, Xiao An also dealt with the other two masked men, and there is only the masked man headed here.

It turns out that there are secret guards beside the princess! Steward Feng, who was uneasy on the side, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his face softened a little.

Seeing that several of his subordinates were subdued, the masked man's pupils shrank sharply, and his face under the black mask was as pale as paper. He instinctively turned around and was about to run away, but Xiao Ying would allow it, his figure flashed, and he had already appeared. in front of him.

"Say, who sent you?" Xiao Ying looked at him with a smile, as if he was an old friend, but in the eyes of the masked man, he seemed to be aiming at his prey. Vulture general.

The masked man took two steps back in reflex, but heard a snort of disdain from behind, Xiao An did not know when he appeared behind him.

The masked man wanted to hide in another direction, but Xiao An had already knocked him out with a neat slap.

Xiao Ying complained angrily: "Xiao An, why did you knock him out, he hasn't made a move yet..."

His words were quickly swallowed in Xiao An's cold eyes, and they had been together for more than ten years. Even if Xiao An did not say anything, Xiao Ying understood what he meant: the duty of the dark guard is to protect the safety of the concubine, and to interrogate the imperial concubine. Whatever, leave it to Concubine Shizi and Zhu Xing.

Xiao Ying reluctantly leaned over and tore off the face towel on the faces of the masked people one by one, pointed to the faces that were so ordinary that they could not be remembered when they were mixed in the crowd and asked, "Prince Concubine, are you okay with these people? Recognize?" Xiao Ying just asked casually, just in case, in fact, even if Nangong Yue recognized the mastermind behind the scenes, it was unlikely that he would know these killers.

After Nangong Yue swept around quickly, she shook her head, "I don't know."

Following Xiao An's hand, he asked for instructions: "Concubine Shi, three of the five killers died and two were in a coma. What do you want to do with Concubine Shi?"

Nangong Yue pondered for a while, and then ordered Manager Feng to take the three corpses to Jingzhao Yamen, explain what happened, and then pointed to the two unconscious men in black and said, "Take these two back to Liuhezhuang first."

Xiao Yi's identity is somewhat embarrassing. Although it is harmless to deal with these people in private, if there is an inevitable situation in the future, it will be better to follow the clear path.

After this absolutely unpleasant episode, Nangong Yue was naturally in no mood to see the wasteland in the back mountain, and everyone went home together.

Nangong Yue's identity is really too conspicuous, and after a while, the assassination of the prince's concubine spread all over Liuhezhuang like wildfire.

As soon as Nangong Yue and the others returned to Liuhezhuang, Zhu Xing and Fu Yunyan heard the news. Fu Yunyan rushed in front of Zhu Xing and rushed to Nangong Yue, holding her hand and looking up and down: "Ayue, are you alright? ?" She said reproachfully, "I should have been with you."

Seeing that Nangong Yue was safe and sound, Zhu Xing finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Concubine Shi, fortunately you are all right." If the Concubine Shi had an accident, he would really be to blame for his death, and he couldn't explain it to the prince who was far away in the southern border. !

"I'm fine, but..."

Nangongyue's words made everyone's heart tighten, and she looked at Ren Zinan and said, "Baihui, take some medicine for golden sore and give it to Ah Lan."

Gold sore medicine? Lily was stunned for a while, and then took a closer look, only to find that there was a faint bloodstain on Ren Zinan's left arm, and his eyes narrowed slightly. he is injured? Is it that time...

She couldn't help thinking that if Ren Zinan had not pulled her away in time, she would have been seriously injured this time. However, she didn't even realize that the other party was injured.

Lily lowered her eyes a little embarrassedly, well, this time, she owes him once! There will be opportunities in the future.

Baihui asked someone to fetch scissors, skillfully cut Ren Zinan's sleeves open, and applied medicine and bandages for him... At this moment, there was a loud noise and messy footsteps from a distance outside the hall, getting closer and closer. After a while, David Chu and a group of veterans hurriedly walked into the hall, unable to hide their anxiety, especially David Chu.

It wasn't until he saw Ren Zinan sitting on the armchair unharmed that David Chu breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down, and said, "Alan, I heard you were injured? Are you okay?" It's a bit complicated. I never thought that on the first day that Ren Zinan served as a guard for Nangong Yue, Nangong Yue was assassinated...

"Father, I'm fine." Ren Zinan touched the wound that was just bandaged and said nonchalantly, "It's just a scratch."

While Chu David was relieved, he couldn't help but glanced at Lao Min beside him. This injury made Chu David a little worried that he was self-defeating. Maybe not only did he not ease his companions' fear of the prince, but instead...

Sure enough, Lao Min's face was so gloomy that it seemed that water could drip, and David Chu couldn't help but feel heavier, he hesitated to speak.

But soon, he realized that there was something wrong with Lao Min's expression, and Lao Min's gaze was that of one of the black-clothed men in a coma on the ground.

David Chu asked tentatively, "Old Min, is there something wrong?"

"I know him...I know him..." Lao Min murmured, his body trembled slightly with excitement, and suddenly, his scorching eyes suddenly turned to David Chu, pointing at the man with a short beard on the ground. The man in black said, "Old Chu, have you forgotten him?"

Lao Min's words immediately caught everyone's attention. Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows slightly and followed Lao Min's gaze. This man in black looked to be in his early 40s, with dark skin and a hooked nose. He has short whiskers in the middle and lower jaw, and his stature is very strong.

If Lao Min knew him, then he should be...

Nangong Yue narrowed her eyes thoughtfully, and ordered, "Xiao Ying, wake him up."

"Yes, Concubine Shi." Xiao Ying was feeling bored at first, when Nangong Yue gave an order, her eyes lit up and she became more energetic.

It's the twelfth lunar month, so you won't be able to get "cold" water.

"Crash!"

Biting cold water poured on the head of the short-bearded black-clothed man, he shivered violently, and suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were a little confused, as if he hadn't figured out where he was, but soon his pupils shrank suddenly, and he was about to jump up, but Xiao Ying stepped on his chest with a smile and deliberately pushed down.

The man in black had his face contorted in pain, and shouted loudly: "Young Master, spare your life! Your son, spare your life! Small is just taking people's money and dispelling disasters with others!"

"Really?" Nangong Yue said lightly, "But someone here seems to recognize you."

The man in black felt a "squeak" in his heart. There shouldn't be many people who have seen him here... The next moment, an old wrinkled face came into his eyes, and the other party's turbid eyes stared at him. The hatred in his eyes was so thick that it almost overflowed!

How could it be this old thing! The man in black secretly said that it was not good, his face was ashen. I'm afraid I can't escape this time...

As if he wanted to eat him, Lao Min said fiercely, "I know you, and you came to see Mr. Niu twice in the past year!"

The three words "Niu Guanshi" are like a drop of water falling into a hot oil pan. The emotions of dozens of veterans in and outside the hall exploded instantly, and several more veterans said:

"I remember! He did come to see Mr. Niu!"

"It seems to be in the back mountain..."

"Now he has come to assassinate the princess again..."

"..."

The more the veterans talked, the more excited they became. They finally understood and were convinced that Guanshi Niu really had nothing to do with Shi Ziye, and Shi Ziye really had the intention to give them old age!

At this moment, the mood of the veterans is extremely complicated, they really wronged the prince!

Nangong Yue also felt a little emotional in her heart. This was really "unintentionally inserting willows and willows". I didn't expect that the cow steward wanted to get rid of her, but instead gave her an unexpected harvest.

"Did Niu Guanshi send you to kill the imperial concubine?" Zhu Xing was so angry that he was so angry that he thought: "You are so bold, you are so bold. With the backing of Xiao Fang, these people are simply lawless. !

Zhu Xing couldn't help remembering the time when they and Qian Moyang and his party were hunted down by Xiao Fang for thousands of miles. If they were not lucky, they would have died at the hands of Xiao Fang, and their companions who were also entrusted by the old prince. Several of them have died.

Thinking of his dead companions, Zhu Xing's heart burned with hatred.

The man in black snorted, ignoring Zhu Xing, and just said, "Since you have been caught, you can kill or slash as you please!" He knew very well that if he recruited the manager, let alone the manager. , I am afraid it is impossible for Wang Fei Xiao Fang to bypass him!

Seeing him being so hard-hearted, Xiao Ying applauded heavily: "I admire, I admire, it's really a man!" Then he looked at Zhu Xing with a smile, "Butler Zhu, I heard that there are many in your army who made prisoners confess. The means, why don't you teach me, so that I can gain insight?"

Zhu Xing immediately understood his intentions, and said with a cold hook: "Speaking of torture, the most severe torture in our Dayu Army is nothing more than five-horse corpses or half-cuts, which is indeed inferior to Nanman. I heard that there is a kind of torture in Nanman, called live skinning. When the silver goes down, the mercury keeps falling down, and it will pull the flesh and the skin of the person alive... It is said that the person buried in the soil will be in pain worse than death at that time, but he can't break free, and finally the body will be removed from the top of the head. Crawled out 'barely', leaving only a piece of skin left in the soil. I haven't tried it, why don't I try it today?"

The man in black has heard that there is no trace of blood on his face, and he can't stop shaking...

"Sure enough, he is an unyielding man." Xiao Ying said, grabbing one of his legs, but the next moment he smelled a stench of urine, the man in black was so frightened that he lost his control and panicked. He said: "I recruited! I recruited, it was Niu Guanshi who was unwilling to be occupied by the princess... No, he took back Liuhezhuang, and Zuo trampled his nephew, so he ordered the younger ones to come and assassinate the prince's concubine... The prince's concubine spare your life. !"

Everyone in the hall couldn't help covering their noses, and although Zhu Xing had already guessed the reason, he still felt a surge of anger going straight to the top of his head when he heard him say so himself. Zhu Xing took a deep breath, tried to calm his emotions, looked at Nangong Yue, saw Nangong Yue waved his hand, and said to Xiao Ying and Xiao secretly: "Take care of these two people first, and then take them back to the palace for detention."

"Yes, Concubine Shizi!"

When the two men in black were taken away by Xiao Ying and Xiao An, only Nangong Yue and the group of veterans were left in the hall.

The veterans looked at each other, and suddenly, they knelt on the ground together and kowtowed heavily to Nangong Yue.

"What are you doing? Get up quickly." Nangong Yue said quickly, "I can't stand you like this!"

Lao Min knelt on the ground and clasped his fists and said, "Concubine Shizi, we are ignorant. We were blinded by Concubine Ji, almost misunderstood Shizi, and ruined Shizi's reputation!"

Lao Min's expression is extremely complicated. Over the years, Xiao Fang's superficial skills have been well done, so that these veterans are really grateful to her, and even listen to her one-sided words, always thinking that the prince is useless and useless The remedy... Even if they were brought to the capital, it was because of Xiao Fang's pity that the prince had no choice but to do it. That's why he did this to them after they arrived in the capital.

Lao Min took a deep breath, still unable to calm down.

Thinking of the old prince's expectations for the prince when he was alive, a strange light flashed in Lao Min's eyes.

Nangong Yue stood up and said cautiously, "Is there something wrong with the prince? He picked you up with kindness but didn't settle you well. It's his fault. Fortunately, it's not too late. Everyone, get up. ."

The veterans looked at each other in dismay, and finally all stood up from the ground.

Nangong Yue asked them about their current situation in detail, and talked to them one by one... It wasn't until half an hour later that these veterans gradually dispersed, leaving only Chu David and Lao Min.

Nangong Yue smiled and said to David Chu: "Uncle Chu, thanks to your family Alan today, otherwise my maid Lily would have to lie on the bed for a while."

Lily looked embarrassed, and her head was so low that she almost touched her shoes. Hey, who made her too careless!

David Chu laughed so hard that he patted Ren Zinan on the shoulder and said, "Just if he can help."

"Alan's skills are really good." Nangong Yue praised without hesitation, "Especially... I feel that his ears seem to be very powerful!"

"Prince Prince, your vision is really good." David Chu showed a proud smile, "Alan used to be a scout, and his ability to listen to the wind is very good..." He said, showing a bit of regret , If it wasn't for Alan's broken arm, he wouldn't be in the current situation.

However, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is fortunate that Alan can save his life.

When David Chu thought of something, he settled down and said: "Prince Shizi, this subordinate heard that Shiziye defeated Nanman in the southern border recently, and he has regained half of the city. It's really heartwarming. Shiziye deserves to be brought by the old prince himself. Big, it really has a bit of the style of the old prince!" Said, not only did David Chu show a look of reverence and nostalgia, but also the old Min beside him, with a little more expression in his turbid eyes, as if he remembered The heroic appearance of the old town Nan Wang galloping on the battlefield.

"It's a pity that I didn't have the chance to see my grandfather in person." Nangong Yue also sighed with emotion.

A person can leave such a strong color in his subordinates and his soldiers, presumably this person is definitely a generation of heroes, peerless generals, such as the deceased Nan Wang of the old town, or General Guan Ruyan...

"Uncle Chu, why don't you go to the palace with me to live with Alan?" Nangong Yue suggested.

When Nangong Yue mentioned this, Ren Zinan's eyes suddenly showed a look of anticipation, but Chu David was a little hesitant. Wouldn't he be causing trouble to his adopted son if he followed the old and cripple?

Unexpectedly, Lao Min suddenly persuaded: "Lao Chu, you can go with Alan. Alan has already said that he will retire for you. If you stay here, he will not be relieved."

David Chu hesitated, but finally nodded.

At this time, Steward Feng walked into the hall and reported, "Concubine Shizi, the three corpses have already been sent to the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion. I wonder if the Concubine Shizi has any other orders?"

Nangong Yue pondered for a while, and said to Lao Min and Chu David, "I wonder if you two would like to accompany me to the wasteland in the back mountain?"

Hearing this, Lao Min and Chu David couldn't hide their surprise, but before they said anything, Feng Guanshi couldn't help but persuade: "Prince Prince, you have just been stabbed..."

Nangong Yue raised her hand to signal him to keep silent, and smiled disinterestedly: "If it's like a bird frightened because of this trivial matter, wouldn't I have to stay home and sleep at night in the future? That would let those villains succeed. !"

"Ayue, you said it well!" Fu Yunyan patted her hands and praised, "You can't let the villain get his wish. I'll accompany you and see which one who doesn't have eyes dares to harm you!"

"Liu Niang, then I'll depend entirely on you." Nangong Yue's brows and eyes curled, and she smiled freely.

It seems that the previous assassination did not leave a shadow in her heart. Lao Min and Chu David couldn't help but look at each other. I heard that this prince concubine is the direct daughter of the Nangong family, and a girl from a family of civil servants is such a woman who does not allow men. Tolerance and momentum, no matter what the character and temperament of the prince, it is indeed a blessing for the prince to have such a good wife!

In this way, everyone went to the back mountain wasteland again, but this time the team was different from before, and became a bit mighty. Not only Zhu Xing and the guards of the palace followed, but even the guards in Zhuangzi were also arrested. Steward Feng, who was as frightened as a bird, called and followed him, lest another accident happen.

The half-reclaimed wasteland is just behind the village, because the villagers always kept saying "back mountain wasteland", Nangong Yue thought it was a terraced field, but she didn't want it to be a large flat land next to the back mountain. Looking at it, I saw that the land was covered with a thin layer of white snow, and the white patch was so bright that people's eyes were a little dazzled.

But it shouldn't have snowed recently, right? Nangong Yue blinked and suddenly thought of something, looked back at the village, and said in surprise, "This is brine land?" The so-called brine land, also known as saline-alkali land, is land with high salt content, and the surface of the land is as white as snow. Crystals are the salt particles that precipitate out of the soil.

"That's right, it's the saline-alkali land." Feng Guanshi said, "Shi Zifei really knows a lot!"

"I've only seen it in books," Nangongyue squatted down in surprise, and raised a little soil mixed with white crystals across a handkerchief, "Historical Records: Hequ Book" says: "The people of Linjin are willing to wear Luoyang To irrigate more than 10,000 hectares of land east of Chongquan. If you get water, you can make ten stones per mu." It seems that this Niu Guanshi does have some insight, but his eccentricity is not correct.

David Chu explained aloud: "That Niu Guanshi originally planned to wait until the spring of the next year to build a channel to divert the river water in front of it to irrigate the brine and turn it into fertile land."

After pondering for a moment, Nangong Yue said to Feng Guanshi: "If the wasteland can be turned into fertile land, it will be beneficial to the people, so this matter can continue. Now that the farming is slack, you might as well hire the green tenants in the village to continue to cultivate this wasteland. Come on. It’s hard work to open up wasteland, and the wages for them should be 30% higher than the market price, and two meals will be included.”

"Yes. Concubine Shi." Steward Feng responded quickly. With such favorable conditions, he believed that the tenants would definitely flock to him.

Lao Min, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly opened his mouth and said: "Prince Concubine, can you also hire us veterans?"

Not only Nangong Yue, but Steward Feng and others were also surprised. I didn't expect Lao Min to make such a request, but Chu David understood Lao Min's mood instead. Lao Min continued: "Actually, we veterans still have some strength, and we are too busy in this farm every day. Why don't we find something to do, and there is still some fun in life."

They are not people who like to do nothing but work hard. If the cattle managers just let them open up wasteland, but they are not even better than animals, how can people not hate them.

"If you are willing, I will naturally welcome you and not be too late." Nangong Yue said with a smile, and hoped that these veterans could find a life suitable for them in this Liuhezhuang.

The most fearful thing in life is that there is no hope and expectation, it will only become a pool of stagnant water...

The day was busy and fulfilling, and when the sun gradually moved westward, Nangong Yue and his group finally prepared to go home.

When they came, they traveled lightly, but when they returned, they were full of mighty people. Not only were there a few more people, but there were also two more carriages. Steward Feng and the tenants in Zhuangzi gave Nangong Yue a lot of property. And game or something, full of two carriages.

The veterans all came to see them off. After Nangong Yue said goodbye to them, just as he was about to get into the carriage, Lao Min suddenly said, "Prince Prince, can I have a word with you alone?"

Baihui frowned slightly, thinking that this old Min had always been full of hostility towards Nangong Yue before, and felt a little inappropriate.

Nangong Yue was a little surprised, but still nodded, "Of course you can." The two walked side by side, while Baihui and Lily behind them kept staring at Lao Min's every move.

Of course, Lao Min also felt the vigilant gaze of the two little girls, but he didn't care. He was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Concubine Shizi, this old man only met him a few times when he was a child, and after that, everything about Shizi was heard by outsiders... Concubine Shizi, you can talk to the old man about Shizi. What kind of person is Grandpa?"

Nangong Yue felt even more surprised, she never expected that Lao Min called her just to ask Xiao Yi.

What kind of person is Xiao Yi?

Nangong Yue thought about it for a while, and she just started talking about the first time she met Xiao Yi when she was nine years old... She talked about how she was assassinated by Uncle Cheng, whom he regarded as a family member, and about what King Zhennan left on his face Wee marks; talking about him being left in the capital as a proton; talking about Cheng Yu, Zhu Xing and the others being chased by the killers sent by the Xiaofang clan; talking about the emperor's fear of him and the Zhennan palace...

Although it was only four and a half years ago, there were so many things that happened. The scenes that happened in the past flashed in front of Nangong Yue's eyes quickly, although her tone was still calm as if she was talking about outsiders. But her heart was turbulent, and her eyes were even more sour.

Ayi, how are you in the southern border?

I miss you!

Nangong Yue raised her chin slightly, looked up at the reddish sky in the west, and struggled to hold back her tears.

After a while, she calmed down, took a deep breath, and turned to Lao Min and said, "It's getting late, I should go, otherwise..."

She didn't say any more, only to see Lao Min took out an envelope from her arms. This envelope should be several years old. Not to mention the yellowing of the paper, even the creases on it are a little worn. It seems that it has been repeatedly held in the hand for many years. Looked at it, rubbed it.

Lao Min's expression was very solemn. He placed the trust in his hands extremely cautiously, bowed his head and sent it to Nangong Yue and said, "Prince Concubine, this is the suicide note from the old prince to the prince!"

Even Nangong Yue was shocked by this sentence for a while, but she couldn't regain her composure, and she almost suspected that she had hallucinated.

She tried hard to calm her emotions, took the letter, did not open it, just looked at the big characters on the envelope: Sun Yi personally opened.

Lao Min raised his eyes to look at Nangong Yue, and said slowly: "In those days, the old town Nan Wang felt that he had few days, but Shi Ziye was still young at that time, Xiao Fang seemed to be good to Shi Ziye, but he I don't know what will happen to her own son in the future... The old prince was really worried, so he made a lot of preparations. The old man, and instructed the old man, if the prince cannot help him when he grows up, this suicide note will never be sent out, and the money left by the old prince will be enough for him to be rich for a lifetime..."

Over the years, due to the misunderstanding of Xiao Yi, this letter has been hidden in Lao Min's arms.

Nangong Yue suddenly understood that although Lao Min had always shown hostility and resentment towards Xiao Yi before, in fact he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart and tried to believe Xiao Yi, otherwise, this letter would probably already be gone!
