Su Ting took a few deep breaths before suppressing the restlessness in his heart.
"It's not that I'm unyielding, but the fact that Prime Minister Zhang was assassinated is not a trivial matter. His Majesty ordered me to investigate the matter thoroughly. I also ask the prince to be considerate and allow me to go inside and search, so as to put an end to the prince's intrusion into the city gate at night."
King Jin sneered: "Since you are following the order, I can't stop you. Just search."
Having said that, he took a step sideways to make way.
Su Ting waved his hand and let a dozen forbidden troops enter to search. However, he soon discovered the reason why King Jin was so willing to let people go in and search.
The villa is deep and wide, with countless places to hide people. After the dozen or so people entered, they disappeared like mud cows into the sea.
He complained to the King of Jin and ordered the others to stay where they were and not to move. He personally led ten more people in to search.
While they were still searching the front yard, Song Huiyue and Yin Xiao had already arrived in the backyard.
Song Huiyue was very familiar with this place. She walked along a remote path under the moonlight and walked all the way to the back garden. She found the dog hole where the small dogs used to come and go, and got out.
The two of them came out of the dog cave and went straight up the mountain without stopping.
The mountains are full of old trees, with entangled roots and scattered thick branches. Under the moonlight, the shadows of the trees are scattered, like monsters with teeth and claws. There was a road when you first went up the mountain, but then there was no path. The ground was covered with moss.
The green moss and tangled grass have reached half a person's height.
Yinxiao cut through the thorns and inhaled gently from the tip of her nose. What came in was not the scent of powder, nor the scent of Song Huiyue's body, but the scent of vegetation all over the mountains and plains.
A big black bird hid in the canopy of the tree, making a hoarse and taunting cry, which made his soul return to its place, and he saw Song Huiyue who had been beside him.
"Madam..." A low and vague voice came out of her throat. Because she hadn't spoken for a long time, her tongue and mouth were not coordinated, so the voice couldn't reach Song Huiyue's ears and only swirled in her mouth.
Although Song Huiyue didn't hear the sound, she turned to look at him. Because she was much thinner, her eyes looked big and black and bright: "Yinxiao."
Yin Xiao worked hard with her mouth, tongue and throat again, and this time she finally uttered the correct and hoarse voice: "Lady!"
His eyes also became very bright, because after returning from hell to the human world, he felt the cold moon and high wind.
The nightmare is over, and the world is not only dark, but also colorful and gorgeous.
Song Huiyue felt particularly calm. She turned her head and glanced behind her, thinking: "Zhang Xutang, please don't die. We still have to settle the accounts."
Immediately afterwards, she continued walking with Yin Xiao on the rugged mountain road.
The ice wheel reflected thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. Just when the two of them were in a panic, Su Ting left Jinwang Villa with gritted teeth.
He made a big show of it, but in the end he didn't even see the assassin's hair. He was so disappointed that he cursed and rode back to the city to continue the search.
Huang Ting and the palace guards hurried over and passed by Su Ting to clean up the mess in the village. Huang Ting heard King Jin's hungry stomach growl and quickly set up a table.
King Jin sat down at the table, looked at the table full of wine and food, picked up his chopsticks, and picked up a few mouthfuls of food to eat. The surroundings were so quiet that he felt that the sound of his own chewing was too harsh.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. He thought Song Huiyue would come to the palace to see Song Qinghui, so he dressed up early and looked forward to Song Huiyue coming to celebrate the festival.
First, Liu Qin came with a box of shortbread cookies and cautiously said a few polite words to him. Then Xie Chuan led Xie Zhou, and Xie Zhou came with his beautiful son.
Xiao Xie was young, but he already knew a lot about people. He mumbled about what he wanted, and sometimes he wanted to get off the ground and walk on his own, sometimes he wanted to climb on Xie Zhou, and finally he peed a lot in the study.
Xie Zhou immediately said that this was a boy's urine, which would prolong life, and said that the King of Jin was dressed up in a colorful way today, which made him want to smile. Seeing that his son was about to make nonsense, Xie Chuan hurriedly left, holding the happy little Xie in one hand and pushing him with the other.
Seeing Xie Zhou who still had unfinished thoughts, the three father and son left with different words and deeds, taking away the excitement in the palace with them.
King Jin waited and waited. Because he was wearing thin clothes, he sneezed several times. He waited until he was about to enter the palace, but could not see Song Huiyue.
The Xie family said that Song Huiyue would not go to the Xie family for the holidays.
At that time, neither he nor the Xie family knew that this year's Mid-Autumn Festival would be so lively and long.
At this hour, King Jin was really hungry, but he couldn't eat. He managed to eat some food, got up and went back to the house, where he sneezed again.
After sneezing three times, he felt that his nose was severely stuffed, and tears flowed down involuntarily. The flow was endless. He rubbed his nose vigorously, and the tears became more and more violent.
Huang Ting secretly said something bad, and ordered his servants to take the palace sign and go into the city to ask for the imperial doctor. He also asked someone to bring hot water in. At the same time, he walked in calmly and asked King Jin to take a bath and change clothes.
King Jin seemed to have a fire in his heart and was in urgent need of water to put it out, so he nodded and went to take a bath and change clothes. After washing, he put on his clothes casually and returned to the house to sit down.
He was always well-dressed, but now he was wearing purple clothes and green trousers, which looked a bit like spring. If Xie Zhou saw it, he would immediately suspect that King Jin had allowed Song Huiyue to take him away.
Huang Ting didn't have the courage of Xie Zhou, so he kept his mouth shut and said nothing. King Jin didn't notice anything inappropriate about his clothes, and only stared at a basket filled with pomegranates in the corner.
This was compiled by Song Huiyue. It was originally placed in the palace. Later, he went out to the city to hunt. He thought of loading some wild fruits on the mountains for Song Huiyue, so he took them outside the city. Unfortunately, there were a lot of game on the mountains, but no wild fruits - near here.
Many villagers went up the mountain at odd hours, and all the jujube trees in the mountain were barren.
Later, Huang Ting used it to store some purchased fruits and put them in the house.
Looking at the grate, King Jin suddenly stepped forward, lifted it up, poured out the pomegranates inside, and the pomegranates rolled all over the floor. He didn't even look at it, but tore off his coat and hugged the grate.
Got into bed.
Smelling the fragrance of bamboo strips in his nose, he took a deep breath and thought that Song Huiyue would definitely come back. If she came back, could she give him another chance?
But what if she doesn't come back?
It doesn't matter if she doesn't come back, there is still Zhang Xutang in the Zhang family, and Zhang Xutang does things by any means. If she comes back, I'm afraid there will be a fierce battle.
It’s okay if you don’t come back.
At this time, Zhang Xutang stood in Prince Yan's palace with a calm expression, looking in the direction of Zhouqiao.
The fire had been extinguished and the Zhang family was almost reduced to the ground. The dead and injured had not yet been counted. Zhang Rui's body had nowhere to put it and was finally placed in the Daxiangguo Temple.
After seeing Zhang Rui's death, King Yan was even more panicked than Zhang Xutang, thinking that he would drown in the officialdom within three days.
As a drowning man, he was in a panic and grabbed Zhang Xutang's life-saving straw.
He brought Zhang Xutang back to Prince Yan's Mansion, and sent people to pick up the surviving Zhang family members. He thought that Zhang Er loved to set fires, but he did not expect that one day the fire would burn his own home.
Zhang Xutang ignored the chaotic thoughts of King Yan. He looked at Zhouqiao, his thoughts intermittently. After the chaos just now, the shadow of Zhang Rui's death had begun to appear.
