"Have you heard that the person who committed the murder in Bei City that day and the mastermind behind it was probably Zhao Xiang Guo Kai!"
"how do you know?"
"Why don't I know? I also heard that Guo Kai and Zhao Jia had a falling out over the grain incident. The person who was assassinated in Bei City that day was Zhao Jia's guest. The eight people who died were all He is Zhao Jia’s retinue.”
"ah!"
In the teahouses and restaurants in Handan City, I don’t know when, rumors began to spread about the murder in Beishi, and the mastermind behind it was Zhao Xiang Guo Kai.
Originally, in this drought year, it was normal for a few people to die, but outside Handan City, there was no day when no one died.
But unlike those civilians, in the North City murder case, the eight followers who died were all Zhao Jia's people, and the people sitting in the carriage were also Zhao Jia's guests.
Who is Zhao Jia!
The pure-blood Zhao royal family, the son of King Zhao Daoxiang, and the brother of the current Zhao Wangqian.
For such a person, the news that his guests and subordinates were assassinated in Beishi was really surprising.
Everyone was curious about who had the courage. This was Handan City.
It is not common to kill people from the Zhao royal family in Handan City.
the other side.
Under the scorching sun, in Handan City, in Bai Yan's mansion.
Feng Nian, who had returned from Yingchuan, reported the situation in the city to Bai Yan.
Hearing this, Bai Yan nodded.
When he was pretending to be unconscious that day, he heard what Hui Gong and other Wei family members said, so he waited and spread the news.
In this way, Guo Kai will definitely think that Gongzi Jia is slandering him, and Gongzi Jia will think that it is those Wei nobles who are spreading the news behind his back.
After all, who would dare to imagine that a person who was assassinated and about to be poisoned would still have the mind to control public opinion behind his back.
"Let's go! It's time to leave Handan!"
Bai Yan stood up.
He has already settled down with the woman sent by Gongzi Jia, as well as Yan and others.
Master Xu obediently stepped forward to help Bai Yan.
Outside the mansion.
The servants had already brought the carriage and parked it outside the mansion. When Bai Yan, with the support of Master Xu, was about to leave the mansion, he met Wu Yun who had just arrived at the mansion.
Wu Yun, who was dressed in Hanbok, pretended to be very sophisticated today, wearing a silk hairpin and a jade pendant.
Under the escort of the maid, Wu Yun came to Bai Yan.
"Can you wait for two more days? Princess Zhao Qiu is already looking for the murderer!"
Wu Yun looked at the pale Bai Yan and said softly.
At this moment, the look in Wu Yun's beautiful eyes was full of reluctance, because once the person in front of her left, even if the murderer was found in the future and the antidote was found, it would probably be too late to deliver it to the Xu family.
"No! Fallen leaves have returned to the earth. I want to return to the Xu family as soon as possible. If Princess Zhao Qiu finds the murderer, let her order the antidote to be sent to the courtyard in Yangcheng, Yingchuan."
Bai Yan looked at Wu Yun and said with a smile.
It was at this time.
Another carriage was driving in the distance.
Before the carriage stopped, Gongzi Jia was seen hurriedly getting off the carriage. Because the carriage was still moving slowly, Gongzi Jia almost lost his balance.
"Why did Zixiao leave without saying goodbye?"
Gongzi Jia came to Bai Yan anxiously and looked at Bai Yan.
"This may be the last time we meet. If it is the last time, it is better not to meet. Meeting is fate. Zi Xiao wants to leave calmly, just like when he first came to Zhao!"
Bai Yan said with a smile, supported by Master Xu.
Upon hearing this, Gongzijia saluted Bai Yan with red eyes.
However, the speaker was unintentional, but it sounded intentional. On the other side, Wu Yun looked at Bai Yan blankly.
Leave calmly, just like when you came to Zhao!
This sentence reminded Wu Yun of the time in that village where she was wrapped in clothes and sitting in a small house with her husband, her brother, and another friend of her husband.
When she heard the sound of the carriage, she instinctively turned her head to look. That was the first time she saw the young man slowly stepping down from the carriage.
When I saw him for the first time, my first impression was that he was young, dressed in luxurious silk clothes, and had an expensive jade pendant around his waist.
She felt that the young man had an extraordinary origin.
Then the young man left inexplicably. Before leaving, he said something and looked at her.
Back in the room, she recalled that she felt something was wrong just now.
Then when she and her brother rushed out of the village, her first reaction was to catch up with the young man.
The next scene.
I saw the faint light of fire in the forest and met again beside the carriage.
Then take off your clothes and apply medicine.
With the help of the young man, he evaded the search, crossed the city, and finally came to Handan.
And that day, in the dark night, I said the words, "Give me the sword." '
Thinking of the figure who held her hand and shielded her from all dangers in the dark night.
Think about this.
Looking at the poisoned young man in front of her, he no longer looked as calm as before. Wu Yun's nose was sore and her eyes were filled with mist.
The young man said just now that fallen leaves return to the earth, and he wanted to return to the Xu family as soon as possible.
This means that before I die, I want to go back to the place where I grew up and see my hometown.
"There will definitely be an antidote for your poison!"
Wu Yun said softly.
Bai Yan looked at Wu Yun, said nothing, smiled, and slowly walked towards the carriage with Xu's support.
Wu Yun stood there, looking at Bai Yan's trembling back, her delicate body trembling.
finally.
Wu Yun still couldn't hold it back.
"How can I find you in the future!"
Wu Yun looked at Bai Yan's back, her tone trembled slightly, and asked about this matter that had been on her mind.
When Gongzi Jia on the side saw this scene, he looked at the young woman Wu Yun.
At this time, he also noticed that Wu Yun seemed to have a hidden affection for Zi Xiao.
Master Xu supported Bai Yan.
Seeing Bai Yan stop, Master Xu also stopped quickly. Watching Bai Yan turn around, Master Xu carefully supported the weak Bai Yan.
"There is no Xu family in the world!"
Bai Yan's words made Wu Yun's red eyes, filled with tears, suddenly dim.
Too.
A widow myself.
How could you have such thoughts, Ms. Xu?
"If I don't die, I will look for you in the future!"
Wu Yun, who was looking down, suddenly heard these words when she was lost in thought. She immediately raised her pretty face and looked at Xu Zixiao.
Seeing the pale Xu Zixiao looking at her with a slight smile, Wu Yun cried with joy.
"good!"
Wu Yun's delicate and charming face was filled with tears, and the corners of her mouth were raised.
If you want to protect the Xu family, I am willing to wait for you in the Wu family.
If you never come to find me again in your lifetime, I will definitely kill and hurt all your people!
Under Wu Yun's gaze.
Bai Yan took the carriage and left slowly.
On the carriage.
Master Xu timidly knelt down next to Bai Yan, looking at Bai Yan who was actually not in danger, and recalled the stunning woman named Wu Yun just now.
Master Xu couldn't help but look at Bai Yan secretly.
Do not know why.
She cares a little.
But as a maid, Master Xu also knew that she shouldn't have such petty thoughts.
Inside the carriage, Master Xu quietly took out a box from a box behind the carriage, with a pot inside.
This is because she prepared the antidote in advance.
"General, this is the antidote."
Master Xu held a small copper pot and said to Bai Yan.
Bai Yan was a little surprised when he saw this. Looking at Master Xu who looked worried, he took the small copper pot handed over by Master Xu and slowly drank the antidote.
Now in Handan City.
All the things needed for the separation have been completed, and the rest is just waiting for Yao Jia to come.
"Sir, Princess Zhao Qiu ordered someone to send news that Cai Sui, the Cai family, quietly left behind her followers before leaving. Now those people are preparing to ambush Mr. Xu."
At the Xu family's residence.
Gongzi Jia and Wu Yun, who had not yet left, suddenly saw a man on horseback approaching in a hurry, and then told the news about Zhao Qiu.
Hear the words.
Gongzijia's face changed, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
"Cai Sui!"
Gongzijia thought about this period of time, and he did not treat Cai Sui badly at all, and treated him with courtesy in every aspect.
As a result, Cai Sui actually wanted to kill Xu Zixiao in front of him.
Fortunately, Zhao Qiu had already guessed that the Wei nobles would not settle down and was always monitoring them.
Young Master Jia's angry eyes narrowed.
"Zhang, take people with you and leave no one behind!"
Gongzijia watched Wu Yun leave without saying a word, slowly turned his head and told his followers.
Regardless of whether Xu Zixiao was assassinated by Wei Jia or not, it is no longer important at the moment. Cai Sui and the Wei nobles are really trying to kill Xu Zixiao to please Wei Jia.
