Thirteenth Niang looked back at Wan Xin and conveyed her eyes:
"Didn't I ask you to come back later?"
To win your heart, you blink your eyelids and look a little naughty: you have to come over anyway."
"..."
Thirteenth Niang's chest was filled with depression and she was speechless.
Zhu Zhanji shook the folding fan in his hand, full of ridicule:
"Famous is not as good as meeting. The girl who saved my heart is really stunning. No wonder Li Kui wants to come here alone. I understand now!"
'You know what a devil.'
Li Kui on the side complained helplessly.
He glanced at Li Kui heart-warmingly and said with a smile, "Young Master is overly praised."
At this time, Thirteenth Niang looked at Li Kui, thought about it, and plucked up the courage to test: "Just in time to save my heart, the daughter of the people dared to ask Deputy Li Qianhu, Qu Bu's case seems to have been closed, I don't know why there is something wrong here.
Does it involve our family’s heartbreak?”
She is quite knowledgeable and knows that Qu Bu's case has been closed.
On the surface, this is indeed the case.
However, before Li Kui could speak, Zhu Zhanji stood up and smiled slightly: "In this case, Thirteenth Sister, you can book another room and serve all the good wine and food here. I think Deputy Li Qianhu has something to say and wants to be alone."
Tell the sweetheart girl."
After saying that, he threw a money bag to Thirteenth Niang.
"this……"
Thirteenth Niang stretched out her hand to take it, and met Zhu Zhanji's eyes. The latter's eyes were full of refusal, and he slightly opened his red lips and was about to speak.
"Thirteenth Mother, you go and do your work first."
Wan Xin stepped forward and gave Thirteen Niang a reassuring look. The latter's cheeks couldn't help but tighten. Even though she felt helpless, she could only nod in agreement.
"This young master, Mr. Yuan Qi, please come over here."
As the door closed, only Wan Xin and Li Kui were left in the room.
The relationship between the two is quite familiar now, and they talk much more easily and comfortably.
"Li Kui, I didn't expect to meet again so soon."
With a smile as bright as a flower, she picked up the wine bottle on the wooden tray, kept it warm, and poured a cup for Li Kui: "Try this cup of sweet-scented osmanthus wine. It is our signature cup of Chunyue Tower. It is best when the wine is warm and cool.
The taste will be worse if it’s gone.”
"good."
Li Kui took the wine glass and took a sip. His taste buds were filled with sweetness, and after entering his stomach, there was a spiciness. He nodded unconsciously:
“It’s really a good wine, and it tastes great.”
"Hehe, right?"
The corners of Wan Xin's lips rose, and then she asked curiously:
"I just heard that you came here this time because of Master Qubu's case, but I told you all the news I know last time."
Li Kui shook his head:
"It's not Qu Bu, but it's the same case, the drunk guy in the alley last time."
'Drunk guy in the alley?!'
Wan Xin Liu frowned slightly: "What happened to him?!"
What a coincidence, she just mentioned this when chatting with Thirteen Niang this morning.
"he died."
Hearing this, Huan Xin was startled, and couldn't help but smile: "This situation and this situation seem to have been familiar before."
She suddenly realized that the drunkard's death might be inextricably linked to her, so she asked directly: "How did he die?"
Li Kui said:
"You want to know?"
"Um."
"Suicide, he took a pair of scissors and cut out his heart."
Wan Xin slightly lowered his eyes and opened and closed his palms slightly.
Li Kui naturally noticed this. Once Wan Xin was nervous or uneasy, her palms would subconsciously open and close, and she said warmly:
"Wuanxin, take out the Taoist talisman I gave you."
"At this."
Wan Xin took off the sachet from his waist, took out the Taoist talisman and handed it to Li Kui. There was still a faint fragrance left on the light yellow talisman paper.
Li Kui used his magic power to add a new layer to the original talisman, leaving behind a hidden hand, and then returned it to the talisman.
"Thanks."
Seeing Li Kui's actions, Wan Xin didn't understand the purpose of his trip, so he smiled again, very sweetly, and said with a smile: "I just learned a new piece of music in the past two days, let me play it for you."
Li Kui looked at her and nodded silently.
He stood up and came to the small high platform, put his hands on the strings, and his fingertips were flying.
High mountains and flowing water, the sweet sound of the piano like a clear spring echoes in the ears.
Li Kui sat at the head of the desk, raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp, his eyes lost in thought.
What Lin Dongdong and Qu Bu have in common is betrayal of faith, which to a certain extent is indeed an evil, and they die in the same way; Liu Hao, who does not honor his parents or even bullies them, is the person who deserves the worst death.
Died from gouging out the heart.
So, are all the people selected who are burdened with sin?
Immediately afterwards.
Li Kui raised his eyes and looked at Wan Xin.
A heart-warming frown and a smile, showing tenderness.
What about her?
Is there any guilt on her part?
Half an hour later.
Li Kui and the others left Chunyue Tower.
…
…
night.
Han Dynasty Palace.
In the deep secret passage, Zhu Gaosui and Zhu Gaoxi walked side by side.
"Brother, when are you going to take action?"
"Three days later."
Zhu Gaoxi turned his face slightly, and the alternation of light and shadow showed murderous intent.
In the past few days, he has sent his capable troops into Beiping City. Thousands of people are sharpening their swords, and they only need the east wind.
"good."
Zhu Gaosui curled his lips and said softly: "My little brother will arrange everything and make sure nothing goes wrong."
"Second brother still can't trust you."
Zhu Gaoxi reached out and patted Zhu Gaosui on the shoulder, "Be careful when you go back."
"I know, second brother."
After a while, the stone door of the secret passage opened, and Zhu Gaosui's figure disappeared from sight. Zhu Gaoxi narrowed his eyes slightly and left in a hurry.
After a while.
But I saw a tiny paper figure emerging from the rock wall. A dim light flashed, and in an instant it was disguised again.
God doesn’t know, ghost doesn’t know!
…
the other side.
In the slowly moving carriage, Zhu Gaosui leaned back on the cushions and rested with his eyes closed.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a breeze blowing, and a figure appeared in the car. It was the white-haired old eunuch. He held a thick envelope in his hand and said: "Your Highness, all the personnel under the King of Han are deployed.
here."
"Mr. Yang is really fast."
Zhu Gaosui opened his eyes, the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, and he could tell that he was in a good mood.
"I dare not neglect what His Highness has ordered."
The white-haired old eunuch said respectfully.
"Hahaha."
Zhu Gaosui laughed heartily.
At the end of New Year's Day, envoys from various countries left the Ming Dynasty one after another. If he hadn't deliberately found an excuse to delay, Zhu Gaoxi would have been unable to hold back and take action. After all, this kind of thing will change later, and naturally the sooner the better.
"When does Your Highness plan to inform His Majesty of this matter?"
The white-haired old eunuch asked.
"Second brother plans to take action in three days."
Zhu Gaosui took the envelope and smiled sinisterly: "It won't be too late for me to go there when my eldest brother and my good nephew both return to the West."
Yes.
Zhu Gaosui had no intention of cooperating with Zhu Gaoxi from the beginning.
What is sharing the world, what is one person having half of it? What he wants is the whole world!
Zhu Gaosui's plan is very simple. It can be summed up in four words: kill with a borrowed knife!
With the troop deployment plan in hand, half of the people can be replaced by Zhu Gaosui's own dead soldiers. When Zhu Gaoxi kills Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji, he can start to kill the donkey.
At that time, as the only remaining son of Zhu Di, it will be a matter of course for Zhu Gaosui to ascend the throne. There will be no surprises. The most important thing is that he is justified!
In addition, the old man's body has been drugged by him, and he will soon be gone.
And he,
Zhu Gaosui will be in charge of the entire Ming Empire!
