"No one is catching up." Lu Zhiyao looked at the expression on Yudie's face, said softly, and then sat on the floor. Wiping the blood on the dagger, Lu Zhiyao looked at his hand again, it had been dried.
There were blood marks on his face and he frowned.
Yudie stood stiffly aside. After a while, after no one really chased her, she relaxed a little. Looking at Lu Zhiyao intently, Yudie didn't know if she really killed someone. If so,
If so, who will be killed?
"Little miss, let's go back quickly."
"You're not breathing anymore?" Lu Zhiyao raised his head and looked at Yudie with a half-smile. Seeing Yudie nodding, Lu Zhiyao slowly stood up, inserted the dagger into her waist, and whispered to Yudie
Die said: "It's getting late, I'll take you away."
The experience when she came out made Yudie reflexively hug Lu Zhiyao's arm after hearing Lu Zhiyao's words. She moved quickly, and Yudie was not as worried as before. On the contrary, she felt more at ease.
It was a novelty. I had never known that someone who could fly over walls and fly over walls would feel like this. Yudie thought about it all the way until Lu Zhiyao took her back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
As soon as Wan Yue saw the two people entering the room, she immediately jumped up from the stool and rushed in front of them. Her eyes inadvertently caught sight of Lu Zhiyao's bloody hand. Wan Yue opened her mouth and cleverly went to get some water.
Come on. After Lu Zhiyao washed his hands, Wan Yue asked in a low voice: "Miss, can you take me with you next time you go out?"
Wan Yue's expectant eyes made Lu Zhiyao laugh. "You are much bolder than Yu Die. Well, if there is still a chance, I will take you there."
After hearing Lu Zhiyao's words, Yudie pursed her lips in embarrassment and lowered her head. Lu Zhiyao took off his new clothes, threw them into Yudie's hands, and ordered: "Burn it, don't let anyone else
see."
Yudie nodded repeatedly and went to do what Lu Zhiyao ordered. Wan Yue stayed in the house and stayed by Lu Zhiyao's side. After thinking for a long time, she couldn't help but ask: "Miss, you are here to kill bad guys."
?"
"Yes, bad guy." Lu Zhiyao nodded with a firm look and replied: "Heinous bad guy. Wan Yue, I'm going to rest. Yudie will be back soon, and you guys will be early too."
Lu Zhiyao smiled at Wan Yue and then entered the back room. Although Wan Yue was full of questions, looking at the young lady's appearance, she didn't seem to want to say anything more, so she kept her mouth shut.
Lu Zhiyao was lying on the bed tossing and turning. He thought that killing one of them would make him feel happier. But nothing similar to joy occurred. Maybe it was not them who he wanted to kill the most, so that was why he was like this? Lu Zhiyao
Zhiyuan murmured to himself and asked himself.
The murder of the prisoner, just as Lu Zhiyao had thought before, did not cause any disturbance. But the return of Nangong Lingfeng made the entire capital tremble.
The emperor specially held a banquet for Nangong Lingfeng. Lu Yuanzheng seemed to be very busy. He usually went out in the morning and would not come back for the whole day. Lu Yuanzheng was not at the house, and Lu Zhiyao was not like before, with Lu Zhiqing
Ye Lianrong also came to cause trouble, so her life was extremely comfortable.
On this day, Lu Zhiyao had nothing to do, so he took his maid for a walk in the house. Several servants slowly came from a distance, and they kept chatting about something. Lu Zhiyao listened carefully.
, occasionally heard the words "dead", so when they walked in front of her and stopped, Lu Zhiyao asked straight to the point: "What were you talking about just now?"
"Miss, we just came back from outside. It seems that a vendor on the street was beaten to death by the government officials."
"People from the government?" Lu Zhiyao raised his brows, not finding anything strange. People are poor and their lives are low. Even if the poor people are innocently beaten to death, how many of them can get an explanation. "You saw it with your own eyes.
of?"
"No, that man was already dead when we arrived. I heard he was beaten to death by soldiers who came back from overseas."
Isn't that Nangong Lingfeng's person? Lu Zhiyao smiled silently and waved his hand to let the servant go. It's very common for dogs to compete with others. But General Nangong just came back and he caused such a thing. Was it intentional or unintentional?
, Lu Zhiyao felt that it was difficult to say.
Many people were present at Nangong Lingfeng's banquet. However, Lin Yinan, one of the invitees, did not show up. Using the excuse of feeling unwell, Lin Yinan lay comfortably on the rocking chair, basking in the sun, thinking about landing in the future.
What Yao said before.
The banquet started in the afternoon and ended late at night. Nangong Lingfeng knelt on the ground and said the words "The humble minister meets the queen" from his mouth, which made Nangong Liu Xi, who was sitting on the chair, chuckle softly.
"There are no outsiders, brother, get up quickly!"
Nangong Liu Xi spoke quickly. After Nangong Lingfeng sat firmly, Nangong Liu Xi asked in a low voice: "How long will my brother stay when he comes back this time?"
"It will take about a month. My father wants me to discuss something with the emperor."
Women should not participate in national affairs. As the queen, Nangong Liuxi naturally knew this, so she did not ask what the matter was. "It's good to come back. I haven't seen you for a long time, and I don't know when I can see you again."
Father, I heard from the emperor before that he seems to have prepared a reward for you, and I estimate that you will be admitted to the palace tomorrow."
"The emperor treats me like this, not only because my father and I are stationed at the border, I think it's more because of the queen." Nangong Lingfeng smiled slightly. He was not interested in the reward Nangong Liu Xi said. "If the emperor
If you really want to reward our Nangong family, why not hand over all the military power of the Xia family to our family."
"Brother, don't say this nonsense." Nangong Liuxi's eyes flashed, and he paused in picking up the tea cup.
The corners of Nangong Lingfeng's mouth kept rising slightly. Nangong Liu Xi didn't want to say this, so he didn't say it. "Okay, don't say it. Then I wonder if you can receive the gift I gave to the queen and the prince?"
"A gift?" Nangong Liuxi looked surprised, then shook his head in confusion. "What did brother bring back to us? I didn't receive it."
"Those two people, two lives, doesn't the queen... know?"
As soon as Nangong Lingfeng finished speaking, the tea cup in Nangong Liu Xi's hand instantly fell to the ground. Nangong Liu Xi opened her eyes wide and looked at Nangong Lingfeng. She was stunned for a long time before she realized what she was saying. "Brother means, Taiwei."
…Did you send someone to kill him?”
"Yes, that's right." Nangong Lingfeng nodded happily, "I thought the queen would guess it."
"How can I guess this! I even thought of Prince Mu, but I didn't think of you." Nangong Liuxi sighed heavily, "Brother, this matter is so big that the emperor even
We specially sent someone to investigate. Why didn’t you give me the news in advance?”
"Then, has the emperor found any clues? It's not that there haven't been any, so the queen and the prince should just pretend that they don't know anything." Nangong Lingfeng looked at Nangong Liu Xi meaningfully, "I just want to give the eighth prince a chance first.
It's just a warning. If he wants to steal something from the prince, then everyone around him will definitely leave him one by one."
"That being said, brother must be careful. I always feel that Lin Yinan is not the same as before during this period."
"Oh? What's the difference?" Nangong Lingfeng asked curiously. After listening to Nangong Liu Xi's words, Nangong Lingfeng sneered. "I think the queen is too worried. I will pay close attention to him this month.
, if he really has this intention as the Queen said, then it would be better to settle the matter directly, since he won’t live long anyway.”
"We'll talk about this later. My brother is tired from traveling all the way, so let's go back today."
Nangong Liu Xi sent Nangong Lingfeng away. Recalling that Nangong Lingfeng said that he sent people to kill He Gusong, Nangong Liu Xi felt a little uneasy. If this matter was discovered, it would be difficult to handle.
…
If Lu Zhiyao hadn't seen it with her own eyes, and if she had relied solely on her imagination, she might never have been able to imagine how arrogant and domineering Nangong Lingfeng's people were under his leadership.
Lu Zhiyuan stood far away at the overturned stalls, fruits scattered on the ground, and the vendors who were kicked to the ground. She couldn't say anything except a wry smile.
"Did you see him peeing his pants in fear?"
"Haha, I saw it, I saw it! We haven't been back for a while, and the people in this capital have become a lot less courageous!"
"Don't even look at who guarded this capital in the past. With those people from the Xia family still here, what do you think this place will become like?"
Five or six people dressed in military uniforms walked slowly past Lu Zhiyao. Lu Zhiyao had never seen them before, and she didn't want to cause trouble for herself. However, when she heard them talking about the Xia family, she said
When Xia Zhenkun was found guilty of death, Lu Zhiyao could not remain calm.
Ignoring Wan Yue and Yu Die's obstruction, Lu Zhiyao took two steps forward and reached out to stop a few people.
"What are you doing?" The person in the middle looked at Lu Zhiyao up and down and asked sharply.
"What did you just say? Say it again." Lu Zhiyao's eyes were cold, and the anger in his heart was constantly boiling.
Several people looked at each other, not knowing what they said that attracted the woman. "What did I say? What does it have to do with you even if I said it? Get out of here, get out of here!" The man didn't say a word.
He stretched out his hand to push Lu Zhiyao, thinking she was in the way.
Lu Zhiyao did not dodge or dodge. When the man stretched out his hand, he pulled it and then with a little force, he broke his wrist.
"The words Xia Zhenkun are not for you idiots to talk about and make fun of!" Lu Zhiyao endured and tried to control his emotions. "Apologise, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you!"
