Chapter 9 The King of Qin doubts
Thief Li glanced at Murong Xun. His black eyes were unclear. With a sound, he just licked his lips and asked in a hoarse voice, "Do you hate me?"
Murong Xun said, "You have the right to choose, and I have no right to interfere with your choice. But from the moment you make a choice, shouldn't you know the end? Stealing Li, why don't we take it easy? Isn't it good that the two don't owe each other?" When she spoke, her eyebrows were indifferent, and her tone of voice did not change like ripples.
Thief Li was shocked and closed his eyes desperately. "That's what your personality is. I shouldn't hold the hope that you can give me another chance from the beginning, right?"
The knock on the door sounded, and Murong Xun turned around, and there was no thief. She sighed softly and owed each other. It's not easy to talk about it! When he opened the door, he saw that there were already several bodyguards standing in front of the door. Murong Xun's eyes showed a trace of panic and asked, "Excuse me, gentlemen, what's the matter?"
At this time, the bodyguard made a way and saw Zhao Ling in a white brocade robe slowly approaching. He smiled gently at Murong Xun and said, "Girl, don't be afraid. There was a murder on the street below last night. I don't know if the girl heard any suspicious noise at night?"
Murong Xun thought for a moment, shook his head again and said, "I slept too deeply last night and didn't hear it!"
"Real?" Zhao Lingyang raised his eyebrows slightly, and a few unpredictable meanings appeared in his deep eyes like Gu Tan. He squeezed his lips and raised a smile. "Girl, do you want to think about it carefully?"
Murong Xun looked away and looked behind Zhao Ling. On the long walkway, there were other bodyguards knocking on the door to ask about the other guests last night. She lowered her head and frowned as if she was thinking seriously. "In the middle of the night, I seemed to hear some noises. I was half awake and half asleep at that time, and I thought it was a dream!" I didn't expect it to be true, but I really should get up and have a look, so as to help the military master solve the case!"
Zhao Ling said, "It's right that you didn't get up. A girl's family is single, and she always pays attention to something, especially a girl as beautiful as a girl." He smiled faintly, "I'm sorry to bother the girl!"
After saying that, he retreated and went out, and the bodyguard closed the door.
"Can you find out the identity of the people in the inn?" Zhao Ling asked as he walked.
He was followed by a seventeen or seventeen or eight-year-old teenager with a respectful expression and replied, "It has been checked!"
"Who is that girl just now? Why do I always feel that she looks like an old friend of mine?" Zhao Ling frowned his sword eyebrows slanting into his temples, and his eyes were full of doubts and puzzles.
"That girl came out of the left prime minister's mansion. It is said that she was the missing daughter of Prime Minister Murong and then was exposed. But strangely, this was a serious crime, but Prime Minister Murong did not investigate, but was simply sent out!" Zhao Hui replied, paused and said, "I just reported from the detective that the bodies of several prime minister's guards were found around the inn, but the wound was the same person as the bodyguard of the swallow proton killed last night!"
"Oh?" Zhao Ling gently squeezed the corners of his mouth, and two fingers stroked a trace of ink on his shoulder. "Since it was sent out, why did the bodyguards of the prime minister's office follow him? Do you want to kill her or protect her? If you want to kill her, it's okay to be in the prime minister's mansion. Why is there such trouble? If you want to protect her, why do you protect a person who pretends to be his own daughter? It's a little interesting!"
"Why are you being targeted by the people of the King of Qin?" The first thing Murong Yao said when he entered the inn was to ask Murong Xun with a smile. When he spoke, the corners of his mouth gently hooked up, and his eyes narrowed slightly, like a fox.
Murong Xun looked at Murong Yao with high eyelids. His expression made her feel uneasy and a faint chill, which made her dislike. She retreated to the edge of the window and looked down at the street from the window, which was as prosperous as before. Those familiar sounds and scenes do not seem to have changed because of eight years of departure. And that's the truth. The world won't really stop his pace because of anyone.
She remembered that the biggest mistake in the past was to look at herself too high, so that when she fell down, she was miserable and scattered into mud. Looking to the east, it is the tall and solemn Zijin Palace. It is firmly located in the central position of the empire, staged those ambition and power, killing and merit, and living belongs to its legend.
"The hawker on the street below, the pedestrians, the residents in the opposite room, on its roof, and ten people under the detectives of the King of Qin around!" Murong Xun leaned against the window and said faintly.
Murong Yao was obviously stunned for a moment. He looked at Murong Xun's in-depth look, but he didn't want to continue this topic. He looked at the room of the inn, looked at a pair of ink landscape map on the wall, and said with a faint smile, "This place is good, but I'm still a little worried. Zixuan is a friend I can trust. If you don't live with him!"
Murong Xun took his eyes back from the street and glanced at Murong Yao obliquely. He did not answer his words. Instead, he took out a jade card with good texture and exquisite carving from his sleeve. The jade card was engraved with the word "Murong". Seeing the surprise flashing in Murong Yao's eyes, he said faintly, "Last night When I was sent out, Uncle Mu quietly gave it to me!"
Murong Yao stroked his palm and smiled and said, "Father loves you. Do you know that with this jade card, the money in our Murong family in Daxiang's shop, silver building and Qianzhuang can be withdrawn by you. You don't ask the reason, and you don't need anyone's consent!" His smile is even more, but his smile has not really reached the bottom of his eyes, such as There was also a faint and cold light in the night-like eyes.
Murong Xun took the jade card back into his sleeve and said lightly, "Aren't you going to Shangguan?"
The two retreated from the room and got into a carriage that Murong Yao had already prepared, and went to Shangguan Zixuan's residence on East Street. On the carriage, Murong Yao played with a piece of jade pendant around his waist, looked at Murong Xun's indifferent face, and asked, "Chang'an City may not be too calm in recent days!"
After a pause, he looked at Murong Xun and just glanced at him faintly and did not ask what he imagined, "What happened?" He continued to say, "Last night, the swallow proton was assassinated, and the assassin escaped. However, several guards who went to chase the assassin were killed and died in the street under the inn where you lived. And when I went out this morning, I heard that several guards of our left prime minister's house died last night..."
"You are very well-informed!" Through the curtain of the car, Murong Xun swept through the bustling market and carefully observed the look of every passer-by. "You are like a deep pool. No one knows how deep you are hiding!" Perhaps, getting rid of the eldest lady is as easy as a palm for you, but your forbearance, your ambition is far more than that!" She turned around and looked at Murong Yao deeply, but his eyes were still dark, and he couldn't see any emotions. Everything was in vain. She gave up, lowered her eyes, and embroidered shoes under her feet. The roses are in full bloom.
"We are each other!" It took a long time for Murong Yao to speak meaningfully.
Before delving into the meaning of Murong Yao's words, the carriage has stopped. Murong Xun was about to pick up the curtain and get out of the car. Murong Yao grabbed her arm and pulled it into the car.
Murong Xun hit the wall of the car fiercely, and there was a feather arrow next to her sideburns, and the whole body of the arrow was still trembling slightly. Looking through the cracks in the curtain, a dark shadow flashed on the upper right roof. Murong Yao couldn't hear the emotional voice in his ear, "Listen, you are my sister. I won't hurt you, and I won't let anyone hurt you. Remember, only when we are strong enough can we protect ourselves, protect everything we want to protect, and those who want to give us harm, raise the sword of revenge!"
"Thank you!" Murong Xun pushed Murong Yao away and got out of the car. A warm palm held her wrist and looked into a pair of amber eyes, conveying the owner's sincere care. "Are you okay?"
Murong Xun shook his head, and the carriage behind him went away. In the sun, the dust raised was unusually clear, one by one, one by one. The humbleness of being trampled on, there is no choice, suspended in mid-air, involuntarily.
Shangguan Zixuan is wearing a beige long shirt today, with a jade belt tied around his waist. The whole jade tree is in the wind, and the golden sun shines on his body, fading out a circle of warm halo. A few traces of green silk draped over his shoulders, his eyebrows frowned, and there was indescribable sadness in his eyes. He looked at the yard behind him. He turned around and said to Murong Xun, "Do you know the consequences of walking into this yard today?"
Murong Xun glanced at the direction of the carriage, and his eyes were like a stream turned into winter snow. The corners of his mouth raised a touch of irony, "I know!" She looked at Shangguan Zixuan and suddenly smiled, "Brother, he seems to want to push me to you!"
Shangguan Zixuan also laughed, but there was a strong sadness in his smile, which made people feel sad. "Unfortunately, I'm not the girl's good man!" His voice was so light that he would think that all this was an illusion.
The place where Shangguan Zixuan lives is an independent courtyard that has been split out. Compared with the Shangguan Mansion, which occupies more than half of the East Street, this place is also shabby.
At the beginning, you can see several begonias blooming beautifully, and several houses are located in all directions.
There are all kinds of herbs in the yard, and you can smell the fragrance of medicine from afar. At this time, a servant greeted him and made a gesture to him. After Shangguan Zixuan made a few gestures, the servant smiled at Murong Xun, and then walked into a room.
"Although Anu can't speak, he is very enthusiastic. If you have anything in the future, you can tell him!"
"Then you can teach me sign language!"
While the two were talking, they saw thick smoke in a house, as if it was on fire. Murong Xun smiled apologetically, "I really didn't expect to cause you trouble since then!"
Shangguan Zixuan looked at the rolling smoke without any surprised expression on his face, but he was a little helpless. "This time it's really none of your business. I have to go through this kind of thing several times a month, and I'm used to it!"
Murong Xun was about to speak when he heard someone shouting, " Shangguan Zixuan, get out of here!"
