thunderbolt!
The dog days of summer are like the face of a child. With a roar of thunder, the originally clear night suddenly ushered in strong winds and rain.
In Shushan College, on the path paved with bluestone bricks, a figure trotted quickly, splashing water all around.
"His Royal Highness King Yun, Tianshi Guo was assassinated tonight while preaching in Zixiao Palace..."
Prince Yun Zhao Kai was preparing to sleep when he suddenly heard someone reporting outside the door.
He suddenly lost all sleep. He stood up and opened the door. He saw a man in armor and stomach walking in. He hurriedly worshiped: "The deputy envoy sent a villain to report. When Guo Tianshi was assassinated, the officials were also present. Although He was not harmed, but he was quite frightened. The city of Tokyo is currently sealed, and the Imperial City Department is trying its best to pursue the assassin."
The Imperial City Secretary was only loyal to the emperor, and contact with the prince was a taboo, so after describing the situation, the man disappeared immediately.
Zhao Kai paced back and forth in the room. After a while, an old man with gray hair and wearing purple official uniform opened the door and walked in.
Seeing this person, Zhao Kai was stunned for a moment, then immediately stepped forward to greet him and said respectfully: "Sir, you came here on a rainy night. I don't know why?"
Wang Fu walked into the house. There were still two water-soaked footprints on the wooden floor. He took a look and said, "Your Highness must already know about the Zixiao Palace, right?"
Zhao Kai did not hide anything and nodded: "Yes, Xiao Wang just found out about it. I don't know if it was because of that incident. I was just thinking of visiting my father to find out what he said..."
"No! This is why I came here..."
Wang Fu interrupted him quickly and said: "The official family did not publicize this matter. Only the disciples of Zixiao Palace and the people of the Imperial City knew about it. If His Highness goes at this time, wouldn't he be explaining his relationship with Zixiao Palace and the Imperial City? Is there any contact with the Imperial City Division?"
On the porch outside the door, two servants stood by the sedan in the rain. Zhao Kai was still frightened. If Wang Fu hadn't arrived in time, he might have gone to the palace in the sedan.
Wang Fu has been an official for thirty years, from a small county magistrate to the current right minister. He did not want to make a mistake in this last step and lead to catastrophe, so he was extra careful and said: "If something happens to that matter, Guo Tianshi I will definitely inform His Highness as soon as possible, and the fact that I have not come now means that there is nothing serious, so Your Highness does not need to worry..."
Zhao Kai still believed in Wang Fu's words and felt much more at ease after hearing the words.
Wang Fu continued to ask: "Director Zhou's birthday will be in ten days. I wonder if Your Highness is ready?"
"Don't worry, sir, the gift has been prepared for a long time. It is the fairy jade that Tianshi Guo mentioned."
The Demon Suppression Department was established during the reign of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. The immortal masters there were different from other positions in the court. They were not selected by the emperor, but could only enter after passing a specific assessment.
The chaos caused by demons and ghosts in the Song Dynasty basically relied on the Demon Suppression Department. Therefore, although the director of the Demon Suppression Department had no real power, no one dared to despise him. Even if Zhao Ji saw him, he would respectfully call him an immortal master.
"Well, in this way...it will be foolproof!"
The heavy rain came and went in a hurry. When dawn crossed the sky, the first ray of sunshine in the morning shone on the city of Tokyo...
Jiang Mu felt the coldness on his neck and sighed helplessly: "Say girl, I saved your life, is this how you repay your savior?"
All of this started when he felt full of energy and had no intention of sleeping after practicing. When he learned from Changfu that the famous prostitute Li Shishi was actually a fox demon in this world, he couldn't help but be curious. , went to Chunyin Pavilion overnight.
As a result, the fox demon version of Master Li was nowhere to be seen, and his life was even threatened!
There was very little furniture in the room, only a table, two chairs, and a small bed. At this time, Jiang Mu was lying on the outside of the bed, and inside the bed, the woman was holding a dagger emitting cold light against his throat. Above, a pair of beautiful eyes, full of murderous intent.
What she was wearing was no longer the original white gauze skirt, but a turquoise skirt.
"You! What did you do to me!" She gritted her teeth almost every word.
Jiang Mu pursed his lips towards the table where several large packages of Chinese medicine were placed: "Nuo, you were seriously injured last night and lost a lot of blood. I took you to the medical clinic and prescribed the medicine for you."
"Oh, by the way, I also spent money to buy some clothes for you. Alas, don't get me wrong. It wasn't me who changed them, it was Li Jinyun. Dr. Li Jinyun, you know, right? If you think someone looked at your body, Responsible, then go find her, I can lead the way for you!" Jiang Mu hurriedly raised his hands and said.
Hearing this, the murderous intent in the woman's beautiful eyes was much lessened, but she still asked suspiciously: "Are you serious about what you said?"
"Take it seriously, absolutely take it seriously. I, Jiang Mu, can swear that if what I said is true, I will be struck by lightning that day!"
Only then did the woman believe it, and silently took back the dagger, "Sorry!"
Jiang Mu touched his neck. In less than ten hours, someone stabbed his neck with a dagger twice. This world is really dangerous.
The two of them were lying on the bed, staring at each other.
Suddenly, the woman frowned and sat up from the bed, enduring the pain. When Jiang Mu saw this, he quickly asked, "What are you going to do?"
The woman said nothing and continued to want to get out of bed. Jiang Mu thought for a moment and suddenly understood, reaching out to hold her down: "Okay, don't go down, I'll go down!"
Although it is another world, the word "chastity" is equally important to women. With two people lying on such a small bed, there will inevitably be physical contact.
Seeing that the other party's eyes were wrong, Jiang Mu hurriedly took back his hand, "What about that? Doctor Li said you can't use Qi within a month. You can rest here and recuperate. The smoke stove and medicine jars are ready. I still have some things to do." I have to deal with it, so I'll take my leave first." After saying that, he turned and left.
When she walked to the door, the woman suddenly said: "Lingbao Shanyu Xuanji, thank you very much!"
Jiang Mu paused, leaving behind his real name "Jiang Mu", then closed the door and left the room.
The heavy rain last night did not affect people. The sky was bright and there were many vendors and pedestrians on the streets. The fresh air was mixed with the smell of fireworks, which made people feel good.
When Jiang Mu entered the mansion, he did not go through the main entrance, but entered through the wall just like last night. He jumped up the two-meter-high wall of the palace with just one leap. He had to say that the self-cultivation technique was magical.
I thought that if I came back early, no one would notice me, but I didn't expect that just as I was about to enter the study, the door of the study was pushed open from the inside.
"Da...langjun!"
Zhu Lian's face was haggard, and the corners of her beige skirt were still stained with some mud. When she saw Jiang Mu, she was surprised at first, and then turned aggrieved. Lian Bu moved closer and said, "Where has Lang Jun gone? The housekeeper is nowhere to be seen." , I sent people to search for me all night, which made me very worried..."
"It's my husband's fault that I make you worried." Jiang Mu felt distressed and took her into his arms, but he was secretly cursing Changfu for staying in Chunyin Pavilion all night.
"Princess, princess, the head butler is back!"
While thinking about this, Zhu Lian's personal maid, Xiao Shu, trotted in from the corner of the corridor. Seeing her princess hugging the prince, she was stunned, "Hey! Prince? Why are you back? Didn't the chief steward say you were gone?" Academy..." Xiao Shu saluted.
Zhu Lian blushed and broke away from Jiang Mu's arms. Jiang Mu coughed lightly and said, "Well, we're back again. The king and the princess have something to discuss, so you can go down first!"
"Please let me go and change my clothes. I think your husband is hungry, so I will go and prepare some food for you."
Jiang Mu wanted to say that he wasn't hungry, but when he saw Zhu Lian's resentful eyes, he immediately suppressed his words and changed his words: "Thank you, madam..."
Changfu came back. When he saw Jiang Mu, he knelt down on the ground and said with a look of shame on his face: "My lord, this old slave is useless. This old slave learned a skill in vain, but the prince was frightened. This old slave..."
"okay!"
Jiang Mu waved his hand to interrupt him, fearing that someone would hear it and reach Zhu Lian's ears, which would make Zhu Lian worried and he hurried to the backyard. A school ground is still being built here, under the guidance of Old Man Zhang. After all, he was once the instructor of the Imperial Army.
When he came to a deserted place, Changfu said: "My lord, not long after you left, the people from the Imperial City Division also left. And there is a rumor that the assassin captured by the Imperial City Division was actually from the Demon Suppression Division... "
Jiang Mu took the letter from Chang Fu. There was a conversation on it. One of the speakers was named Cai You. The content was roughly the same as what Chang Fu said.
Cai You was the eldest son of Cai Jing, the Grand Master and Prime Minister of the dynasty. He actually knew the identity of the assassin, but knowing why he told it in a place like Chunyin Pavilion, wouldn't he be afraid that walls have ears?
Jiang Mu felt that there must be something fishy here, so he put away the paper and warned: "What happened last night must be kept secret and cannot be mentioned to anyone."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, no third person will know about this matter!"
Suddenly thinking of Li Lin, Jiang Mu felt the need to talk to him again...
Not long after returning to the study, Zhu Lian pushed open the door and entered.
The clothes of the Song Dynasty in this world were relatively conservative, and normal women would not wear clothes that tightened their breasts or exposed their collarbones. However, Zhu Lian is wearing a brocade gauze skirt and light makeup, just like the fairy who walked out of the painting. She is noble, elegant, beautiful and refined. She has such a temperament at the age of fourteen. If she gets older in the future, she will not Dare to imagine how beautiful it would be.
"Mr. Lang, why do you think so highly of me?"
Seeing Jiang Mu's crazy look on his face, the girl couldn't help but blush. She brought a bowl of porridge and two plates of side dishes in front of him and said, "My husband has worked hard all night. Eat it while it's hot. If it's not enough for me, I'll give it to you." Shu Sheng..."
The words were full of jealousy, and sounded a little bit resentful.
Jiang Mu felt guilty and said, "Madam, are you still blaming me for your husband? Why don't you make amends with me here..." After saying this, he stood up and was about to perform the hand salute.
But this move startled Zhu Lian, who hurriedly held Jiang Mu's hand and said anxiously: "Why do you want to salute my concubine? Isn't he trying to offend me..."
There was mist in his eyes as he spoke: "My husband is obviously full of the aura of a woman, but he insists on saying that he went to the academy. Even if he dislikes my concubine Pu Liu's appearance and doesn't want to sleep together as husband and wife, he should not deceive me." Concubine, call me concubine...what should I do..."
The more he talked, the more he felt aggrieved. At the end, Zhu Lian couldn't help crying.
