What comes to mind is that just now he went out to find something for his grandson. At this time, his grandson had been waiting in the house for a long time and did not see his grandpa come out on his own.
"Grandpa. Where are you, Grandpa, Grandpa!" The tender voice of a child spread through the wall to the outside. When the shadow guard heard the cry and looked at Butler Luo's face, he immediately understood.
This child must be his grandson. If he blackmails his grandson and asks him to tell him, will this matter turn around?
He picked up Butler Luo and took him back to the yard. This time he dropped him directly and picked up his grandson.
This kid looks to be about seven or eight years old. He has a little pigtail and collagen on his face. He is really cute.
"Is this your grandson? If you don't tell me, it will be you who will die, and it will be him!"
Butler Luo's heart trembled, but he still pretended not to understand. His life was saved by the master. If it weren't for the master, how could he have grandchildren? Even if he died, he wouldn't be able to do anything wrong to him.
"A strong man should show mercy. I really don't know what you are talking about, old man. My master never talks to us when doing business. I don't know what you want me to say."
Butler Luo deliberately raised his voice, hoping to take this opportunity to attract people, so that the person would run away in a hurry.
"Keep your voice down! Do you think I don't know what your plans are? If you want to attract people, just wait until you collect the body of your grandson."
The shadow guard deliberately tightened the knife in his hand. The blade was directly next to his grandson's flesh, and it would bleed if he moved it even slightly.
Butler Luo knelt on the ground and almost burst into tears. How could his little grandson suffer such a crime on weekdays?
The little man in Shadow Guard's arms didn't realize that he was in danger at all. He saw that Shadow Guard's sword was quite good, and he kept laughing.
"Uncle, what are you asking about? Maybe I know." The kid thought he was asking his grandfather and wanted to give himself a chance to perform.
The shadow guard thought about it, thinking that he might be able to get some news from the child. Even if he couldn't get any news, it didn't matter. There was still this old man anyway.
When Butler Luo saw that his grandson wanted to talk to him, he was more anxious than an ant on a hot pot. The child just said what he saw, but luckily he didn't know anything.
But this time, Butler Luo never calculated that his grandson really knew something. This little information was enough for Baili Mingyu to know something.
"Then tell your uncle who Mr. Nalan often hangs out with."
"Of course it's Uncle Xia and Uncle Yuyi. They often come to see me, and they are very nice to me. They bring me candied haws every time they see me."
"Then do you know what they say every time they get together?"
"Of course I wear kung fu uniforms and recite poems. When I grow up, I want to be like the master. Although he doesn't know kung fu, I see them all listening to him. He looks so awesome."
Butler Luo's grandson spoke of Nalan Lingyu with admiration. In his heart, the master was a god-like existence, and there was nothing he couldn't do.
Butler Luo was very useful to listen to below. He really did not teach his grandson in vain. He has respected the master since he was a child.
"Then what exactly did you hear them say? For example, Jiangnan and so on." The shadow guard continued to persuade, hoping to get some useful words out of this child, so that he could go back to work.
The child thought for a moment in his arms, frowned and said, "No."
The shadow guard was a little disappointed, but he didn't want to give up. He took out a small amount of silver from his chest and looked at him with a smile and said: "If you can say something useful to uncle, then I can use this silver to sell you candied haws, okay?"
The child's eyes must have lit up when he saw it. He thought for a while and replied: "Uncle, last time I heard the master telling those uncles that the capital was going to change, does that count? I had been waiting for a long time at that time,
It didn’t snow in the end, so I don’t think what the master said is accurate.”
Butler Luo's expression changed immediately when he heard this. When he heard this, he immediately stopped him.
"Don't talk nonsense! What did grandpa teach you?"
The child shut up as soon as he heard his grandfather's words. No matter how he asked, he just shook his head. Butler Luo's move completely angered him.
"Old man! Shut up! I'll kill you if you talk!" His sudden change of expression frightened the little child in his arms, who cried out.
The shadow guard panicked when he saw this posture. How could he coax a child? He could only keep a straight face and continue to scare him.
"Don't cry! If you cry, I will kill your grandfather!"
As soon as the child refused, he cried and fussed in his arms. He accidentally bumped into the blade, and the blood on his face began to flow down his cheek, which made him cry louder.
When Butler Luo saw that his grandson was being wronged like this, he couldn't bear it any longer. He rushed forward to snatch the child away, but the shadow guard would not give it to him. Years of martial arts experience made him subconsciously give Butler Luo a sword blow.
Butler Luo rushed forward and cut his neck with another sharp sword. He covered his neck with a look of disbelief on his face and slowly fell to the ground.
As soon as the child saw his grandfather lying on the ground, he pushed him. The shadow guard didn't know whether he was jealous or because he disliked the child for being too noisy. He killed the child with a casual sword.
At this time, people outside heard the noise and ran over. When they saw the two people lying in a pool of blood next to the shadow guard, they started calling for people.
"Come here! Someone is going to kill someone, come here!" As soon as the shadow guard saw many servants coming, he jumped up and ran away. Just now, because the child kept twisting in his arms, he gave away the jade pendant he was carrying.
.
When he flew up, the jade pendant slipped along his clothes and fell to the ground. No longer Lianzhan, he was gone in a flash.
Nalan Lingyu didn't expect that such a thing would happen in broad daylight in his mansion. He stood there and frowned, looking at Butler Luo and his little grandson.
"Sir, a man in black killed Butler Luo and his grandson just now. I saw them all. He flew up the wall and disappeared."
Nalan Lingyu followed the direction they pointed and walked to the corner of the wall. He happened to see the jade pendant that the shadow guard had dropped when he left. He picked it up and his expression changed instantly.
It seems that Baili Mingyu is already suspicious of him. This time the shadow guard came here to ask about the situation. It seems that the current situation is not good.
"You guys clean up here quickly, I have something to do now." Nalan Lingyu took the jade pendant and strode out the door.
After a while, a solemn voice sounded from Xia Mansion's study.
"You are saying that the emperor has already suspected you, what are you going to do next?"
"Uncle, I think you should leave now. If you don't leave, this matter may affect you. I need to bring Qingqing out secretly, and then we can leave together."
Letting Xia Zhan leave was tantamount to asking him to rebel, and he couldn't accept it for a while.
"You go, I won't follow you. I think the emperor is a man who knows right from wrong. He won't kill me."
Nalan Lingyu tried to persuade him for a long time to no avail, so he could only sigh helplessly, thinking that Baili Mingyu had decided to kill him.
Or maybe not. Baili Mingyu will use Xia Zhan as a bargaining chip to force them. How should Qingqing handle herself at that time?
"That's all, think about it carefully, I'll go back first."
Nalan Lingyu no longer stayed too much. He originally stayed here to control the overall situation, so that Baili Mingyu would not guess that it was him. Now it is too late to say anything.
After he returned, he dismissed all the servants in the house and began to make final plans.
"Are you looking for me?" An Yi has already come out of the haze of An Er. Recently, he has not entered the palace because he is afraid of disturbing Baili Mingyu. After all, although Xia Qingxin has no overt guards, there are secret guards.
There should be many.
"You are here. I need to trouble you with something. The current situation can no longer tolerate us waiting any longer. I need you to take Qingqing out directly and send it to Liguo. I, Nalan Lingyu, ask him to
, I will go back to find her after I finish my work here."
"Weren't we planning to capture this place directly? Why did we change our strategy so suddenly? Is there something else?"
An Yi was confused, it turned out that he didn't just kill him as promised, and he didn't have to hide at all.
"You guessed it right. Baili Mingyu sent secret guards over this morning to directly interrogate Butler Luo and killed him and his grandson together. I guess he used his grandson to threaten him. If he didn't come out,
If something unexpected happens, he will definitely send troops to capture me by tomorrow morning at the latest."
After all, Baili Mingyu is an emperor, and he still has a certain strategy. Presumably he will think of something after digesting all the things today. Now he must make complete preparations.
"It's really despicable. He even kills children. It turns out that the master* and our secret guards have emphasized on three occasions that we are not allowed to kill the old, weak, women and children, but he really does it. It's true that whatever master you follow, you become what you are.
dog!"
After An Yi heard this, he despised this shadow guard extremely. They were all created by Xia Zhan. How could there be such a big difference?
"You should take Qingqing out now and tell her not to worry about Yi'er, Baili Mingyu won't kill him."
"Okay, I'll go right away, but you also have to be careful."
"I will, take good care of Qingqing." Nalan Lingyu glanced deeply at An Yi. He still wanted to stay to deal with Xia Zhan's affairs. If Xia Zhan died, how would Qingqing deal with it?
Nalan Lingyu hid that night. After so long, he had accumulated some connections. There was no problem in escaping, but the most important thing now was to get Xia Zhan out of the city.
Although Xia Zhan was not planning to go out, he had sent all his family members out after receiving the news, and now he was the only one left in the house.
In his heart, he and Bai Liting conquered this happy country together, and he promised that he would protect his country, even if he sacrificed his two daughters to consolidate his empire.
In his heart, it is absolutely impossible for him, a victorious general, to do such a treacherous thing, not even if his own son could do it.
Besides, he still has certain expectations for this little emperor. He believes that he will not kill him. After all, he has been serving the country for so many years, but something is destined to be different. (To be continued)
