A faint figure appeared in the Liu Mansion at No. 3 Pingkangfang. At this time, the huge Liu Mansion had already fallen into a deep sleep.
In addition to the samurai guarding the courtyard, they occasionally come out to patrol.
There was almost no sound in the whole house.
There is a small courtyard in the southwest corner, which is the residence of Liu Ming, the chief instructor of the Liu Mansion's nursing home. It can be said that it is too rare for him, a second-grade martial sect, to condescend to be the chief nursing instructor of a fifth-grade official in the capital.
Unless you give too much.
In fact, Liu Ming was Ding Xian. Ding Xian himself was an official, the deputy envoy of Yangzhou Tuanlian, and a seventh-rank official. If Yangzhou had not been defeated, he would not have fled back to Luojing like a bereaved dog.
He is different from other officers. He is the deputy commander of the regiment and a military attache. He has the responsibility to defend the territory. He must be held accountable for escaping from battle.
Therefore, he no longer dared to use his identity as Ding Xian, so he could only become the chief instructor of the nursing home, and had to work for the Shen family from now on.
What can I do if I don’t give in?
Without the Shen family, he would not have had the chance to serve in Yangzhou. Even if he was a second-grade martial sect, it would be difficult for him to climb to a high position in the officialdom without a backing.
After boarding the Shen family's ship, unless the ship sank together, it would be impossible to get off.
Although the disguise has changed his appearance, Ding Xian is still afraid of being recognized and seldom goes out. After all, he was once a student of Zhenwu Academy. He has lived in Luojing for many years and knows many people, including many people in Zhenwu Academy now.
They are all familiar with him, and it would be troublesome if they recognized him.
What he hopes now is that the Shen family will move him out of Luojing and leave this place where acquaintances gather.
He was ordered to destroy the Sheng Ji Man Clan, and he also knew how powerful the Xirong Puppet Shadow Hall was. Therefore, these days, he never slacked off and kept his energy to the highest level, fearing that he would be found.
Fortunately, after so many days, the investigation of this case outside seemed to have died down, and no abnormality was found around the Liu Mansion, so his anxious heart gradually relaxed.
Probably no one thought that he would be in Luojing, let alone that he had changed his identity. The Shen family had absolutely no reason to betray themselves.
They instigated themselves to do this, and the Shen family was the mastermind.
Ding Xian!
who?
Where is the sound?
Ding Xian was so frightened that he got up from the bed and looked around with a wary expression. However, after looking around, he found nothing unusual. Could it be that he was hallucinating?
A black light invisible to the naked eye came toward his chest, silent and unstoppable.
Ding Xian just watched the black light penetrate into his heart, feeling his heart numb, and then he collapsed.
A dignified second-grade martial arts sect and an outstanding student from the Government Affairs Academy couldn't resist.
"Youhong!"
Before he died, he saw the black light flying out of the window and landing in the hands of a woman whose whole body was wrapped in black gauze.
Everything came to nothing.
…
When he woke up early in the morning, Luo Xing had already ground soy milk and made breakfast. Breakfast was soy milk with fried dough sticks, and a small piece of salted fermented bean curd.
"Qingyi, drinking this soy milk is great for women." Luo Xing explained while serving the soy milk, "You can make it sweet or salty, it's up to you."
Qingyi didn't cook at home in the past. Basically, she ate three meals a day either in Nanya or outside.
Especially when working on a case, eating is even more difficult to do on time.
At home, women cook and serve men, but why did it happen to her? The sudden happiness made her feel a little uneasy, fearing that it was all fake and unreal.
Rubbing his eyes to make sure he was not dreaming, he sat down nervously: "Xiao Qi, why have you started making breakfast? This is not Chunyu Tower..."
Luo Xing also filled a bowl for himself, and just as he was about to reply, there was a sudden knock on the door. Who is visiting the door so early in the morning?
"Who is it? Qingyi, wait a minute, I'll open the door... It's so early in the morning, oh, Your Highness, why are you here?" Luo Xing put down the bowl and ran out to open the door, and found that it was Ye Ye standing outside the door.
Liuli and Nanny Su quickly came in.
Seeing Luo Xing and Qingyi having breakfast in the restaurant, Ye Liuli didn't say polite, sat down directly, filled a bowl of soy milk, added some sugar and drank it.
"What is this? It's delicious. Which store made it? I'll buy some later and try it." Ye Liuli took a sip and immediately praised it.
"Haha, this subordinate grinds this by himself, soy milk. His Highness likes to drink it. I will bring some for you when I have time to make it later."
"No, I'll just come over and eat later." Ye Liuli didn't care at all. He picked up a fried dough stick and took a bite. It was crispy!
"It's delicious. What's this called?"
"Double dough sticks, eaten with soy milk." Luo Xing and Qingyi looked at each other and smiled.
Very early in the morning.
Ye Liuli didn't come here to check whether he and Qingyi were doing well. Something must have happened.
"Aunt Su, sit down and eat together. I've done a lot." Luo Xing quickly called out to Aunt Su. She was a first-class grand master and a protector trained by Princess Ye Liuli outside.
"Ding Xian is dead, Youhong."
"So fast?"
"This time it was Youmei who took action, silently. How many people in the world can block her 'Youhong' attack." Ye Liuli explained.
"Did the Liu family report the crime?"
"Liu Ming is Ding Xian. If the Liu family reports the case, wouldn't Ding Xian's identity be exposed? However, since we already know that Ding Xian is hiding in the Liu family, we will naturally arrange for people to keep an eye on him. He is the Liu family's nursing instructor, isn't it?
He is an insignificant person, so when someone dies, the Liu family immediately goes to the Shen Mansion to report the news."
Luo Xing and Qingyi were both major participants in this matter, but when he left the Xirong Envoy Court, he was delayed by the events of the Su family.
None of them have the energy to pay attention to the Liu family.
"My plan was to wait for the Puppet Shadow Hall to take action against Ding Xian, and then we would attack the Puppet Shadow Hall, killing two birds with one stone."
"Your Highness is planning to let the mantis stalk the cicada, with the oriole behind!" When Luo Xing heard this, he understood what Ye Liuli wanted to do. She was using herself to pass the news about "Ding Xian" to Xirong, and then waited for Xirong.
She took action, and she took action again to end the Xirong Puppet Shadow Hall's power in Luojing.
This move was cruel enough, and it was clear that it was to provoke a dispute between Dazhou and Xirong, but from a legal perspective, there was nothing wrong with her doing so.
It would be okay for anyone in Nanya to do this, but for Ye Liuli to do it, his motives are questionable.
She just wanted to destroy her marriage with the Wolf Lord of Xirong.
This shows that she does not want to get married at all, but is forced by her status and political pressure to get married conditionally.
However, Luo Xing never mentioned any topic of "marriage" in front of Ye Liuli. He knew that this topic was quite sensitive to Ye Liuli. Unless she took the initiative to talk about it, he would not bring it up. He didn't want to
Cause trouble for yourself.
"What I'm doing is also to help you cut off the relationship there." Ye Liuli said.
Luo Xing was speechless. Ye Liuli was right. If this plan came to fruition and Xirong Puppet Shadow Hall's strength in Luojing was severely damaged, he would be the biggest accomplice.
Then it would be untenable for anyone to suspect that he had colluded with Xirong.
But the plan couldn't keep up with the change. Hongying came to Luojing as a master. Once he came, he killed "Ding Xian" without caring about anything.
This doesn't give them any chance.
The idea of using "Ding Xian" as bait to lure out Xirong Puppet Shadow Hall's power in Luojing failed. You can imagine Ye Liuli's depressed mood.
What Luo Xing was thinking about was that if Ding Xian died, his mission would be over. Next, how should he get Liuzhai No. 3, Pingkangfang, into his own hands?
"Your Highness, Ding Xian is dead. The Liu family did not dare to report the case, but they tipped off the Shen family. The body should still be in the Liu Mansion at this time, right?" Luo Xing asked.
"You want to use the corpse to make a fuss?"
"The Liu family and the Shen family are related by marriage. Ding Xian is hiding in the Liu house, so he must have something to do with Duke Cheng. So far, we only know that the death of Fourth Master Shen is related to Qixing Pavilion, but who gave it to Lord Qixing?"
We were entrusted, but we didn’t know that in order to take revenge on the Puppet Hall, Cheng Guogong asked Ding Xian to destroy the Shengjia leather goods store. Now the Puppet Hall has taken action and killed Ding Xian. The person you should be worried about now should be Cheng Guo
Justice is the one." Luo Xing sorted out the cause and effect of the matter.
"You mean, the Puppet Shadow Hall will attack Cheng Guogong Shen Zhuang next?"
"No, if I were the ghost from the Shadow Hall, the matter should end here and should not be expanded. Once it expands, I'm afraid she won't be able to end it. But what if the matter expands?" Luo Xing
He said to Ye Liuli seductively.
"You mean...hehe." Ye Liuli's eyes lit up, and he seemed to have a sense of connection.
"No!" But as soon as Luo Xing thought about what he said, he regretted it a little. He patted the table lightly with his hand and shouted.
"What's wrong?" Ye Liuli and Qingyi were both stunned, "Okay, what's wrong with you?"
"Your Highness, Qingyi, if you were Duke Cheng and Ding Xian was killed, would you go back in revenge?" Luo Xing asked back.
"Ding Xian suffered a misfortune because he was doing things for Duke Cheng. If he ignored it, people similar to Ding Xian would naturally be disappointed. Therefore, he will definitely take revenge." Qingyi said.
"But if Ding Xian's matter is kept secret and not many people know about it, then there is no need to take revenge immediately." Ye Liuli gave a different answer.
Luo Xing nodded, the princess is indeed a princess, her mind works very fast.
"Are you torn between helping the Shen family conceal this matter, or making it public and forcing the Shen family to take revenge, and the person who will bear the brunt of it is most likely your little beauty in the Xirong Mission, Miss Hongying
Right." Ye Liuli saw through Luo Xing's thoughts at a glance.
"Your Highness, why embarrass other people if you don't tell them when you see through it." Luo Xing took a sip of soy milk to cover up his embarrassment.
"You already have Qingyi as your companion, why are you still thinking about other women?" Ye Liuli said angrily, "This really shouldn't be the case."
"Walking around in the world, no one has a friend of the opposite sex. Is it possible that as long as they are of the opposite sex, they have to have that kind of relationship? Your Highness, your mentality is too dark!"
"You are engaged to Qingyi, so you can't have another woman in your heart!"
"Then my subordinate and His Highness can be considered friends. If I care about His Highness, does that mean I have another woman in my heart?"
"Am I different from other women?"
"What's the difference? Your Highness can be friends with me, but others can't?"
"You are using strong words!"
"Your Majesty, this is nonsense."
"puff……"
Aunt Su lowered her head. She could guarantee that Luo Xing was the first man who dared to talk to Princess Ye Liuli like this in the past ten years.
You might say that he doesn't understand the rules of officialdom, and that he respects superiors and subordinates, but he has an excellent sense of propriety in this regard, and his etiquette in public places is hard to find fault with.
But once he talks in private, he doesn't treat you as an outsider at all. He will be rude when you should be quarrelsome. He won't be merciful just because you are a princess.
"If you dare to offend Qingyi, I will castrate you myself, believe it or not!"
"Then you're sorry for Qingyi!"
"I, you are talking nonsense, how can I feel sorry for Qingyi..." Ye Liuli is naturally unparalleled in eloquence and is a master at quarreling with others. At this moment, Luo Xing's words stopped him.
"Xiao Qi, don't be rude to His Highness." Qingyi finally intervened and said hurriedly.
"I'm telling the truth. If I became an eunuch, I wouldn't be a pain to you, Qingyi. Is your Highness sorry for you by doing this?"
Only then did Ye Liuli realize what he was doing, and he immediately turned red in the face.
"That's enough. I want to see if the Shen family will take action after Ding Xian's death is exposed." Ye Liuli decided to change the topic. The Shen family is not a good person. If it can provoke a fight between the Shen family and the Xirong Puppet Hall,
It is of great benefit to yourself without any harm.
As for that little girl named Hong Ying, who can say that what hasn’t happened will definitely happen?
Gee, a woman's face changes as quickly as turning the page in a book.
