Before they even reached the entrance of the Han Mansion, roars like furious beasts came out, which was particularly creepy in the middle of the night.
Han Changmu was stunned for a moment, paused slightly in front of the door, and then quickly walked in.
Yao Yao and Leng Linjiang looked at each other in surprise.
Could it be that Meng Suigai was so frightened that he went crazy?
This sound doesn’t sound right!
It's so miserable that it's out of tune.
The two of them followed in uneasily.
After entering the study, I saw the miserable state of the room.
Meng Suige knelt in the dark shadow, his hair disheveled and trembling, like a frightened little animal.
His hands dug deeply into the gaps in the floor tiles, and all ten of his nails were broken off. His fingertips were bloody and bloody, and blood flowed far away along the gaps in the floor tiles.
He kept his head lowered, and could not see clearly what his face was like. He could only see that his whole body was shaking violently, and desperate and sad roars and hisses that alternated between high and low hovered in the room.
The candlelight in the corner kept flickering, and the dim light changed strangely on the plain white wall.
"It's so scary, I'm getting goosebumps." Leng Linjiang's face turned slightly blue, he rolled up his sleeves and let Yao Yao look at his arms.
Yao Yao also subconsciously touched her arm. She was not afraid. She had seen many more terrifying scenes than this. She just felt that Meng Sui's voice was too shrill and weird, and it was almost inhuman. Voice.
She was so shocked that she could barely close her mouth from ear to ear: "Well, what stimulation did he receive? How could he become like this?!"
Han Changmu squatted next to Meng Suige, suppressing the anger and heartache in his heart, and tried to use the gentlest voice: "Meng Suige, it's me, I am the prince, don't be afraid, nothing has happened, just calm down. ."
Meng Suige was shocked all over, and slowly raised his pale and withered face. Overnight, his eyes became thin and sunken, and suddenly they were filled with tears.
He opened his mouth, but before he could say a word, a large mouthful of blood spurted out.
Immediately, his eyes turned white and he fell to the ground. No matter how urgently Han Changmu and Jin Yu called, and pinched people and tigers, there was no response at all.
"Where's the doctor! Where's the doctor? Why hasn't he come yet!" Han Changmu shouted hoarsely, showing his usual calmness.
Jin Yu replied tremblingly: "My subordinate has already sent someone to call him. It should be soon."
Before he finished speaking, the doctor ran in sweating profusely, the medicine box on his back clattering as he ran.
He was trembling and was about to salute when he was stopped by Han Changmu.
"Okay, it's an emergency. Stop talking nonsense and check your pulse first." Han Changmu waved his hand with a worried look on his face.
Han Changmu was already cold and stern, but with such a straight face, he became even more frightening.
The doctor's cold sweat became worse, and he was almost shaking his hands while checking the pulse and drawing up the prescription, but he could still write neatly and clearly without any confusion.
Yao Yao sighed as he watched. This doctor's concentration was really good. If he was so frightened, it was just because his hands were shaking, not his brain. He couldn't have diagnosed the wrong pulse.
After a chaotic process of diagnosing pulses and making prescriptions, the doctor wiped cold sweat from his head and stood up holding on to the corner of the table. His tongue was tied in a panic: "Returning to the young master, Mr. Meng Qi is suffering from irritation and phlegm in his heart. He must get it." Rest.”
Han Changmu squinted his eyes and said calmly: "How long will it take to rest? How long will it take for him to wake up?"
The doctor's face was filled with embarrassment, and he spoke stumblingly: "It's hard for me to say, maybe three to five days, maybe ten days, I'm really not sure, Mr. Meng Qi has been so stimulated this time. It’s too big, too, too small, and I’m not sure.”
Han Changmu's face suddenly darkened, and he squinted his eyes with a cold and dangerous aura.
He didn't expect that the formation was indeed broken, but Meng Suigai still hadn't fully returned to normal. Could it be that an unconscious Meng Suigai had other uses to them?
Han Changmu's heart froze.
Meng Suige cannot be left lying like this. He must wake up as soon as possible. Only if he takes action can he know what other plans those people have.
Han Changmu stared at the doctor with a serious face: "Listen, no matter what method you use, Meng Sui must wake up within two days. Can you do it?"
Under the pressure, the doctor was sweating nervously, his calves were spinning, and his mouth was trembling with bitterness as he said: "You villain, villain, do your best."
"It's not about trying your best, it's about doing it!" Han Changmu said lightly.
The doctor trembled even more fiercely: "This, this, yes, yes, I will go and think about it again and make a prescription."
Han Changmu nodded: "Go."
The doctor of the government rushed out as if he had been granted amnesty. As soon as he went out, he took a breath and was dripping with sweat, as if he had just been fished out of the water.
Leng Linjiang raised his head and glanced at the doctor standing in the yard, panting heavily. He patted Han Changmu's shoulder helplessly, shook his head and sighed: "Jiuchao, look at how serious you are, it's almost killing me." I fainted from fright.”
Han Changmu pinched his eyebrows and said nothing.
No one spoke for a while, and the study became quiet. Yao Yao looked at the unconscious Meng Suigai with a complicated expression, and had some mixed feelings.
This unlucky child was so miserable. He was injured and almost died. He barely managed to save his life but his mind was damaged. Not to mention that he would be crazy when he finally woke up.
Han Changmu thought for a moment, walked out of the study, called Jin Yu, and said in a deep voice: "From now on, you must arrange for personnel to keep an eye on Meng Suigai twelve hours a day, regardless of whether he is awake or asleep. , no matter where he goes after waking up, someone must follow him."
Jin Yu was stunned for a moment, a little confused: "Are you following openly or covertly?"
Han Changmu said calmly and confidently: "One group of people followed openly, and another group of people followed secretly."
Yao Yao and Leng Linjiang also followed out, and just in time to hear Han Changmu's words, she turned her head calmly, glanced at Meng Suigei who was breathing weakly on the couch, and asked in a low voice: "Master, do you want to alert the enemy? "
Han Changmu glanced at Yao Yao, with admiration in his eyes, and nodded: "Yes, we just want to force them to show themselves."
At the moment, there was no other better way to deal with Meng Suijie's condition, besides letting the government doctors do their best to treat him. Han Changmu and the other three went to the side hall where the meeting was held.
The three of them had been working hard all night, non-stop, without a morsel of food or a sip of water. Now they suddenly relaxed and realized that they were already hungry.
Jin Yu had already expected that tonight would be a busy night, so she had prepared hot soup and rice on the stove early. When she brought it to the table, it was neither cold nor hot, and just right in her mouth.
Jin Yu did things properly and did not prepare too greasy dishes. A bowl of sweet and glutinous bird's nest porridge, paired with a few dishes of side dishes, was extremely refreshing and delicious.
Yao Yao took a sip of the sweet and smooth bird's nest soup, which was smooth and comfortable. She relaxed and leaned back on the chair comfortably, narrowing her eyes slightly and falling asleep.
In the dark night, there was a glimmer of light in the sky, making the surroundings even more invisible. Only the meeting hall was brightly lit, filled with reassuring silence and tranquility.
The night wind made the window paper rattle, adding an eerie and gloomy tone to the deep silence of the night.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
Leng Linjiang was very hungry and ate big mouthfuls, but he was so absent-minded that he couldn't taste any of the delicacies.
There were countless forbidden troops and internal guards all over Yuhua Mountain. The number of people was unimaginable. Leng Linjiang still found it hard to believe that such a heavily guarded place could hide hundreds of criminals. It is possible that gangsters sneaked in, but if there are thousands of gangsters hiding in the mountains, it cannot be justified in any case.
"Jiuzhao, how many of their people do you think there are in this mountain?" When he thought of so many young people hiding in the vast Yuhua Mountain, Leng Linjiang felt like a thorn in his back. He felt chills all over his body and every step he took. Terrified.
Han Changmu shook his head: "To be able to lay out such a big plan, we must use a lot of manpower. What's more, it's easy to hide from open guns and hard to prevent hidden arrows. We are in the open and they are in the dark, so we naturally have some advantage. For now The only plan is to shock them and let them reveal their flaws."
Yao Yao still closed his eyes slightly and said casually: "They think they have a perfect plan, but they will inevitably reveal flaws when they are caught off guard."
"That's true, but," Leng Linjiang punched the table in annoyance: "But the mountain is so big, how can we guess where they are hiding? If we are surprised and we are in the wrong place, we will be in vain. It’s a waste of time!”
"Their hiding place must be very secret. They are deep in the mountains and forests. Why bother guessing? But there is something wrong with the banquet today." Yao Yao paused for a moment, suddenly opened his eyes, and spoke slowly, with obvious differences in his words. There is a profound meaning: "There are two people who should have appeared most but did not show up. They are the two who are the most unwilling to be lonely, especially Daishan. After entering the capital, he jumped up and down very much. Such a big thing as a saint giving a banquet, overtly or covertly. There is so much excitement, but they are willing to be absent?"
"Yes, I'm also surprised. Both Daishan and Tuoba Fuyun reported illness, especially Daishan. He said that he couldn't get up because he couldn't adapt to the climate. Tuoba Fuying seemed to really know nothing. , but her hands were shaking a little when she was picking up the vegetables." Leng Linjiang also remembered the scene at the banquet just now, and couldn't help but sneered coldly.
Although he only stayed for a while and went to plan big things, he paid special attention to these troublemakers, and after a quick glance, he still noticed something was wrong.
Yao Yao clasped his fingers on the desk and sneered twice: "He has been here for several months, and he is just getting used to it now. Is he slow to react?"
Leng Linjiang didn't know what he thought of, and laughed out loud: "I'm afraid he is not only slow to react, but also stupid."
Yao Yao raised his eyebrows: "Master Shaoyin, how do you know that Daishan is really stupid and not just pretending to be stupid?"
Leng Linjiang laughed nonchalantly: "Those who can pretend to be stupid are those who claim to be smart. There will always be a day when the cleverness is misled by the cleverness. Daishan is as timid as a mouse. He gave me a fright and said Maybe it will show its flaws."
Yao Yao raised his eyebrows and laughed twice.
Haha, my Lord Shaoyin always speaks so profoundly.
"Hey, don't think I can't tell that you're laughing at me when you hehe!" Leng Linjiang rolled his eyes.
"No, no, Master Shaoyin has misunderstood. He is humble and not stupid, so how dare he laugh at you." Yao Yaohun curled his lips and smiled indifferently.
"..." Leng Linjiang was speechless and made a sound.
Han Changmu's expression was particularly indifferent: "It's hard for others to tell. Tuoba Fuyun is very scheming. Even if he has other plans, he won't be easily grasped. However, it is true that Daishan is timid, but it is difficult to handle. Yes," he looked at Yao Yao and paused slightly. He obviously agreed with Leng Linjiang's words. Since there is no way to start elsewhere for a while, it is better to pick up the soft persimmons and knock the mountains to shake the tigers. At this point, he tapped the desk with his finger and said coldly: "Who is the most suitable person to scare him? If you want to scare him to the point of showing his weakness, you can't really scare him out of harm's way. It's not a matter of choosing the right person." Easy thing.”
He didn't believe that Daishan was really sick and didn't show up at the banquet for no reason!
With this thought in mind, he raised his eyes and looked at Yao Yao.
And Leng Linjiang also looked over with understanding.
Yao Yao's eyebrows twitched and he ran away in fear: "Don't look at me, I can't do this job."
"Why can't I do it? You have a fierce face, which is perfect for scaring people." Leng Linjiang said with a smile.
Yao Yao raised his fist and his almond-shaped eyes widened in anger: "Say it again!"
"Twenty taels of gold." Han Changmu coughed lightly and spoke slowly, looking at Yao Yao with a cunning glimmer in his eyes.
Yao Yao immediately raised his almond-shaped eyes, his smile was clear and frank, without any worldly distractions: "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely live up to your trust in my humble position, and my humble position will definitely frighten him to the point where he can't tell anything except the truth." Can’t tell.”
Leng Linjiang chuckled: "Ah Yao, can your waist be any softer?"
Yao Yao snorted nonchalantly: "Even the ancient sages would have to bend down for five buckets of rice. What's wrong with me, a weak little girl who can't take care of herself?"
Leng Linjiang curled his lips and made a nauseating movement.
Han Changmu couldn't help but laugh. He stared at her with burning eyes from a place where Yao Yao couldn't see.
They all say that you should do what you like, and now he clearly knows what Yao Yao is good at.
Yellow and white things are her favorite.
The three of them discussed it, and when the sky was slightly bright, He Zhenfu rushed back. His clothes were wet and stuck to his body, and the thick smell of blood made it difficult to open his eyes.
He was frightened and saluted, "I have met you, sir."
Han Changmu stared at the deep and shallow mottled blood on He Zhenfu's clothes, and nodded slightly: "You're back, how are you?"
The look of fear on He Zhenfu's face had not completely dissipated, and his voice trembled slightly: "Sir, there were twelve assassinations in total. All of them were masters. Once they were defeated, they all bit their fangs and committed suicide. They acted ruthlessly and decisively." Suddenly he knelt on the ground and kowtowed deeply: "The humble position is useless, there is no one alive."
Yao Yao and Leng Linjiang looked at each other in fear and were speechless for a long time.
Twelve assassinations, all by masters, no one survived!
This is not here to kill, this is here to kill!
What a crazy person can do this!
Being ruthless not only doesn't give others a way to survive, it also doesn't give yourself a way to survive!
Han Changmu narrowed his eyes and flashed a cold light: "Is there not a single person left alive?"
"It's my humble duty. I know my crime is my humble duty. Please punish me, my lord." He Zhenfu buried his head deeply in his chest and muttered in shock and shock. He who had just stood up fell to his knees again.
The huge "pop" sound startled Yao Yao, and he gasped.
This sound makes my knees hurt just listening to it.
She looked at the frightened He Zhenfu and shook her head slightly.
If the apology is useful, the adults in the Punishment Department should go home and sell sweet potatoes.
"Punishment, is it useful to punish you?" Han Changmu's face was cold and solemn, as if covered with a layer of ice. He suddenly thought of something important and couldn't help asking urgently: "Is His Highness injured?"
"No! No." He Zhenfu swore so steadfastly that he could only stretch out his hand and swear: "His Highness has returned to the other courtyard. I guarantee that His Highness will not lose even a hair! Please rest assured, His Highness is safe and sound!"
Han Changmu snorted and squeezed He Zhenfu: "Not even a hair is missing? Have you counted it?"
"..." He Zhenfu choked for a moment and didn't know what to say.
If he is guilty, please let the law punish him. Why let the Lord Commander hurt him!
He Zhenfu raised his eyes to look at Yao Yao, hoping that she could come to his rescue.
Unexpectedly, Yao Yao was so happy watching the excitement that he completely ignored He Zhenfu's pitiful eyes.
He Zhenfu sighed quietly, and suddenly touched something heavy in his sleeve. He was startled, and quickly took it out, holding it in both hands and handing it to Han Changmu. He considered it and said: "My lord, I'm humble. I found this on one of them." ."
When Yao Yao and Leng Linjiang heard this, they both looked over.
A dark iron plate with an ancient Chinese character Qin engraved on it.
The sign looked like there were needles on it, which made Yao Yao's eyes hurt.
Yao Yao let out an ouch and jumped away like a snake. He couldn't hide the panic on his face: "Oh, I have to go back and think about it. How can I frighten the grandson of Daishan so much that he is on the verge of going crazy?" ."
With that said, before Han Changmu and Leng Linjiang could say anything, she fled in embarrassment.
He Zhenfu looked at Yao Yao's back with a confused look on his face, not knowing what happened.
Leng Linjiang looked away with a half-smile, fearing that Han Changmu would blame Yao Yao for not understanding the rules, and said in a teasing tone: "A Yao will be as timid as a mouse for a lifetime. He's even afraid of a brand. It's just too much." It’s useless, how can I point her to catch thieves in the future?”
Han Changmu laughed in his heart and lamented that Yao Yao was really clear-sighted. He had simply engraved the knowledge of time and affairs in his bones. He was even more impressed by Leng Linjiang's ability to protect his shortcomings. He couldn't help but give him a knowing look and asked He Zhenfu in a deep voice: "Except for Are there any other discoveries about this sign?”
He Zhenfu thought carefully for a moment, shook his head, and said firmly: "No, these people are all dead soldiers, and their bodies are very clean. Apart from this sign, the low-ranking people have not found anything else."
"Clean!" Han Changmu stared at the sign that was stained with blood but still had clear handwriting, showing a playful sneer: "If it is really clean, how could it leave such irrefutable evidence!"
Leng Linjiang took the waist badge and rubbed the surface of the badge carefully with his fingertips, showing a thoughtful expression.
Leng Linjiang's official position as the young Yin of Jingzhao Mansion is not a false position obtained by virtue of his status as a relative of the emperor, but a second-ranked position in Jingzhao Mansion that he has secured through his true talent and learning. Naturally, he is not as unlearned as he appears on the surface. Wushu, he is familiar with the forces in each mansion, both overt and covert. He also knows a little bit about the shady organizations scattered among the people, and is naturally no stranger to the tokens that represent the identities of these organizations.
He only touched it a few times and determined the origin of this waist plate. It was a token of the secret guard of Prince Qin's palace.
Everyone knows that King Xie Huiming of Qin has always been a model of being rigid, upright, and emphasizing rules and regulations.
But Leng Linjiang knew that Xie Huiming secretly admired the "Grass Saint" Zhang Zhi, but he used rigidity and uprightness to cover up his unruly and rebellious nature.
A few years ago, Leng Linjiang bumped into Xie Huiming's confidants searching for the scraps left by Zhang Zhi on Longyou Road.
The word "Qin" on the keepsake carried by the dead soldiers of the Qin Palace was copied from the calligraphy left by Zhang Zhi.
It is precisely because of this that even if some people have seen the secret guard's waistband and the word "Qin" on it, no one has associated this unruly, wild and exquisite wild grass with the head of the Qin Palace.
However, Leng Linjiang recognized him at a glance, and judging from Yao Yao's reaction just now, it was obvious that she also recognized him.
Leng Linjiang raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't know how this girl got a glimpse of the secrets of Prince Qin's palace.
He glanced at Han Changmu. Han Changmu must have recognized the origin of this object, so his expression suddenly changed.
Leng Linjiang's face was gloomy, shrouded in a gloomy cloud, but his eyes were extremely determined: "Jiuzhao, this is not right. King Qin will not do such a thing."
Han Changmu was noncommittal. He had little confidence in Xie Huiming. After all, it involved the struggle for the supreme position. Under greed, human nature is the least able to withstand the judgment and scrutiny of common sense.
But there is indeed something fishy about this matter. It is inconceivable that such a big flaw appeared on the secretive body of the secret guard, and this flaw was directed at the Prince of Qin's Palace. The intention was too obvious. It's so obvious that it makes people suspicious.
"It's not quite right. At least the appearance of this waist card is too unbelievable." Han Changmu nodded. It was useless to delve into these matters now. He turned to He Zhenfu and asked: "How is His Highness the King of Han now?"
Hearing this, He Zhenfu seemed to have thought of something funny, and burst out laughing. He looked up and saw Han Changmu's expression of concern. He quickly suppressed his smile and said seriously: "Your Highness is unscathed, but... "It's just," he hesitated, and stuttered: "That's right, I was so scared that I had to pee." He suddenly realized that the rest of his words were disrespectful, and one careless move was a serious crime, and he couldn't help but scream. He stopped abruptly, with an ugly expression on his face.
"What did you pee?" Han Changmu asked in a confused way, "Did you pee your pants?"
He Zhenfu's face turned red. He really didn't know how such insulting words came out of the mouth of a gentleman like Han Changmu. Aren't you afraid that His Highness the King of Han would find out and settle the score with Queen Qiu?
