Shengjing Conspiracy

Chapter 57, First come, first served

At noon, Jing Yun, dressed in a tiger-striped scarlet robe, stood outside the East Palace with cold eyes.

Originally, it was strange that the emperor suddenly summoned him. After he entered the palace, Jingyun was taken to the East Palace before he even saw the emperor.

What really wanted to see him was not the emperor at all.

Jing Yun, who was at the foot of the emperor in the East Palace, was not stupid enough to commit a crime here, so Jing Yun, who had waited for an hour but failed to open the door for him, was not angry either.

It's just that the angry prince is trying to show him off.

After another half an hour, the door of the East Palace finally opened, and the soft-faced eunuch held the floating dust in his hand, "General, the prince is here to invite you." There was no embarrassment at all of making people wait for an hour and a half.

Jing Yun was not angry with him either, and still had that indifferent expression, he walked in with his hands behind his back, and when he passed by the eunuch, he didn't even give the eunuch a look.

Entering the main hall, Prince Shang Lanqing was sitting there with a cup of tea in his hand.

"Let the general wait. It's just that there are too many things to come in, and this palace is a little too busy." Shang Lanqing said it calmly, as if it was really the case.

Jing Yun was not interested in going around in circles with him, and he was more worried about Wen Youqing outside the palace than Shang Lanqing who was looking for him for no reason. As far as he knew Yan Yan, the other party would definitely not listen to him obediently.

It has to be said that Jing Yun still knows Wen Youqing very well.

Shang Lanqing also didn't want to go around in circles. He put down the cup in his hand and said directly: "The general will return to Beijing to report on his duties this time. He should return to the border city after a while."

Jing Yun didn't answer, Shang Lanqing continued: "Recently, I heard that the general and Tanya are very close. The general is a sensible person. You should know that your closeness is harmful to Tanya."

Shang Lanqing's words are short of directly saying that the two of you will definitely not have a good ending together.

Because of the decentralization of power by Emperor Anping in recent years, the crown prince has more than half of his supporters in the court, and most people have already treated the crown prince as an emperor.

At this time, if someone with a weaker mind had said these words, he might have already retreated, but fortunately, Jing Yun is a firm-minded person.

"Actually, I'm curious, how did the prince have the courage to say this to me?" Jing Yun said after being quiet for a long time.

Shang Lan paused for a moment, his face straightened, "What does the general mean?"

"My relationship with Yan Yan is our private matter. What do outsiders think about us? Even if outsiders' thoughts are important, how can they be harmful and not beneficial? The biggest beneficiary is the crown prince." Jing Yunqing Smiling, there was no smile in his emerald wolf-like eyes, he looked at Shang Lanqing with the corner of his mouth pulled, "The royal family has been afraid of the border town for a long time, I should live longer if I like men than I like women."

The cunning rabbit is cooked by the dog, and the bird is hidden by the bow.

The frontier city army is the sharpest knife in the emperor's hand when fighting is needed, and the frontier city army is the thorn in the emperor's eyes when it is not needed.

No matter how enlightened the emperor was, he would never let go of his confidant generals after the great cause was accomplished. It was also because of this reason that the old An Guogong retired bravely, but even so, he did not end well in the end.

And what Jing Yun said is actually the same reasoning. Compared with the general who protects the country all his life, the frontier general who is good-mannered and has a bad reputation will obviously not get the support of the court officials and the people, and the threat to the royal family will be greatly reduced.

Shang Lanqing is not a fool, he naturally understood the meaning, he slowly clenched his hand hidden in his sleeve, his nails penetrated deep into his palm, the tingling pain kept him calm, he said again: "Even so , and what about Tanya, he shouldn't have sunk like this with you."

Jing Yun just shook his head with a smile, and looked at him with a little pity, "It seems that the crown prince doesn't know much about Yan Yan."

"I knew him when I was young, so the general came later."

"When someone has known each other for several years, it is just an acquaintance who nods. When someone meets someone, you know that they are close friends. There is never a first-come, first-served approach in this kind of thing." Jing Yun picked up the teacup on the table, and gently stroked the tea leaves with the lid of the cup, but nothing came. Drink, "What Yan Yan always wanted was to prove herself, a very small wish."

As for the words of those extreme officials, Yan Yan said them to cheer him up.

No one knew how much Yan Yan had been bullied during the years spent in the back house of Duke Anguo's mansion, but the sincerity in his heart never changed.

Shang Lanqing was at the end of his poems, and Jing Yun said again: "Besides, in this matter, I was the only one who was tempted from the beginning to the end. Even if the guilt was asked, I was the one who was guilty. What does it have to do with Yan Yan?"

"If you want to commit a crime, there is no excuse." Shang Lanqing said in a deep voice.

"I'm just a martial artist, and I can't play with those twists and turns. I won't attack if people don't attack me. If people attack me—" Jing Yun grinned, showing a bloody smile, "I will kill him."

Threat.

This man was threatening him, Shang Lanqing clearly realized.

Shang Lanqing also knew that Jing Yun was not talking big, with his ability, it could become a reality.

Both of them stopped talking, and no one dared to speak until Jing Yun left the East Palace.

Shang Lanqing stood up supporting the table with his hands, and suddenly laughed silently. The more he laughed, the harder he laughed, until he bent down and didn't make a sound.

The eunuch and maid carefully huddled in the corner without daring to breathe, for fear that she would lose her head if she was not careful.

Shang Lanqing's hand touched the cup on the table, the smile on his face stopped abruptly, a sternness flashed in his eyes, the cup was slammed to the ground and smashed to pieces, in his eyes, this cup is the scene Head on cloud item.

"Come here, go to the Palace of Picking Stars to send a message, and say that I have something to ask to see the Master of the State Teacher."

The personal attendant ran out of the East Palace in a hurry, and Shang Lanqing looked at the gate of the East Palace with dim eyes.

Taohuazhuang in the suburbs.

Jiangnan Xing was sitting on the steps in distress, with his hands on his face, his cheeks were propped up into a small meaty bun, which fell in Li Suwen's eyes, how cute he looked.

Maybe this is what the Central Plains people say about beauty is in the eye of the beholder, Li Suwen thought about it truthfully.

"Are you worried?" Li Su asked and sat down beside Jiang Nanxing, clinging to him.

Being so close to someone suddenly, Jiang Nan Xing would definitely avoid it normally, but during this time he has long been used to Li Suwen's closeness, and he has no intention of avoiding this meeting.

Even if this person is sitting on the steps, he is still sitting upright, with a very clear posture.

Looking at Shang Li Suwen's face, Jiang Nan's face became hot, and he thought that this person is really good-looking in every aspect he likes.

"Isn't it just the matter of this broken village, it's airtight, except for the trick that day, I didn't get anything else." Jiang Nanxing felt frustrated, he thought too well before entering Taohuazhuang, who knows It will be like this now.

Li Suwen patted his head, the soft touch made him smile, "Don't worry, why don't you find a way to go back to Dali Temple, maybe there are new clues over there?"

If Li Suwen knew at this moment that his subordinate had already told Wen Youqing everything, he would definitely not say that.

Waiting is not an option, Jiangnan Xingxin thought that Li Suwen's proposal made some sense, and immediately made up his mind to go back tonight, because it is a bit difficult to go out during the day with his lightness skills, but it is much easier at night.

But he left by himself, Li Su asked someone here...

"Come with me." Jiang Nanxing said seriously, Li Suwen didn't know martial arts, and here is a bottomless pool of muddy water, so it's hard to guarantee that he won't encounter any danger.

"I'm leaving, who will cover you, one of us has to stay here, I am the most suitable." Li Su asked equally seriously.

Li Suwen saw that this person was still concerned about her own safety, and did not refuse her hand touching his head, and she felt better.

How can this person be so good.

Jiang Nanxing thought that Li Suwen entered this place to help him, and now he was willing to accept the danger for him, even so, he did not ask for anything in return.

Thinking of this, Jiang Nanxing felt that he was no different from those hypocrites who deceived infatuated women and were full of benevolence and morality.

"Take care of yourself, I'll be back soon, and I will definitely protect you." Jiang Nanxing put away his joking expression, and his eyes were more serious than ever.

Li Suwen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'll wait for you to come back and protect me when you come back."

He was going to catch this man, the only one who said "I protect you" to him.

As for the rest, let everything end tonight, he has no patience with this Peach Blossom Manor.

……

At night, Jiangnan Xing changed into night clothes and left Taohuazhuang. He had to hurry as soon as the road was not close.

After Jiangnan Xing left, Li Suwen, who watched him leave, put away the tenderness on his face, and walked slowly to another part of Taohuazhuang.

Using lightness kung fu, he rushed all the way to Jiangnan Xing and rushed back to Dali Temple. Fortunately, Wen Youqing was still there at this time.

Seeing Jiangnan Xingwen Youqing who had changed his appearance, he was stunned for a moment, and then he was surprised: "Could this be the legendary bone shrinking skill?!"

Jiangnan Xing, who was full of desire to rush back to protect Li Suwen, had no time to explain the bone shrinking technique, so he said directly: "Did you investigate any clues these days?"

Seeing his serious expression, Wen Youqing didn't joke anymore, and roughly talked about the events of the past few days. When he talked about the Qin Pavilion, he clearly saw that Jiangnan Xing's body froze.

"Our goal is the same as that of the Xuanchi Sect, so it can be regarded as cooperation... Nan Xing, you look a little ugly, are you okay?" Wen Youqing's voice became softer as he spoke, carefully looking at Jiang Nanxing.

Jiang Nanxing shook his head, he pursed his lips, "You mean, Li Suwen is the leader of Xuanchi Sect, and I was—" He took a deep breath, "I was used by Li Suwen, right?"

"No, they didn't get anything, otherwise they wouldn't cooperate with us, they must have had to." Wen Youqing saw that Jiangnan Xing's complexion was as pale as paper, and Li Su asked in his heart what he did to Jiangnan Xing, how could he do it? So angry!

"Heh...you don't need to explain, I was foolish enough to be deceived and didn't know it." Jiang Nanxing stood up, his body flickered, and Wen Youqing quickly supported him.

"You stay, don't go back."

Jiang Nanxing pushed his hand away, "I have to go back, he is a liar, I am not."

Moreover, Jiangnan Xing, who knew the truth, felt that Li Suwen's proposal to come back to him was not just good intentions, there must be other reasons.

Looking into Jiangnan Xing's absent-minded eyes, Wen Youqing was extremely disgusted by Li Suwen, whom he had never met.

Knowing that he couldn't stop him, Wen Youqing found Jing Yun and led his men to chase after him.

He always had a bad premonition, he was worried that Jiangnan Xing would be in danger.

……

Rushing back to Peach Blossom Village at the same speed, Jiangnan Xing was almost unable to stand, his heart was beating fast, a fishy sweetness surged up along with the sharp pain in his chest, he pressed down hard, climbed over the wall and entered Peach Blossom Village , Back to that courtyard, sure enough Li Suwen was not there.

Not only did Li Su ask if he was there, but the entire Peach Blossom Village was dead silent.

At this time, there was a scream from a distance, and Jiang Nanxing searched for the sound, and walked to the main courtyard, which was usually heavily guarded.

Pushing open the gate of the main courtyard, Jiang Nanxing frowned at the bloody smell coming towards his face. At the same time, he also saw the people standing in the middle of the courtyard.

Dressed in a plain white gown, with a slender figure, a handsome face, and cold eyes, the hand that usually touches the strings is now holding a long sword, and the cold edge of the sword flashes a cold light under the moonlight.

And beside his feet were countless corpses, blood stained the ground. In this situation, Li Suwen standing among them was like a Rakshasa returning from hell, cold and heartless.
