Chapter 73 Untitled
It's late at night.
It started raining in Chang'an.
It was already midnight when Pei Xingjian came out of Wang Jingzhi's house.
The rain is very heavy.
Thunder roared from the horizon, as if indicating that a more violent rainstorm was about to arrive.
Outside the gate of the royal palace, a servant opened the umbrella.
Pei Xingjian pushed it away and walked in the long alley in the rain.
Tonight's meeting was not a pleasant experience for him.
It was all good at first, but as Mingkong grasped the right to speak, Pei Xingjian felt that he had lost the initiative and almost kept following Mingkong's rhythm.
What kind of woman is this?
Her words are not strong, but they can easily lead people into her rhythm.
Pei Xingjian felt that she was controlled. She was completely following Mingkong's ideas and could not resist at all.
This is a smart woman and a very strong woman! However, her strength is not revealed outside, but a very restrained strength, a strength that comes from the bones that Pei Xingjian cannot resist.
He was very disgusted.
But it is impossible to deny that such a woman is very attractive.
No wonder Huaiying was willing to die and save her. Pei Xingjian didn’t know whether he could resist this attraction if he was replaced by Di Renjie’s seat?
This woman is poisonous!
"Mr., why don't you hold an umbrella?"
Wang Sheng ran out of the inn, holding an umbrella in his hand.
Pei Xingjian glanced at him and said, "It's nothing, I just eat too much wine, get wet in the rain, sober up.
Are the rooms ready?”
"It's ready, and people have prepared hot water for bathing."
This Wang Sheng is really considerate.
Pei Xingjian even thought, did he blame Wang Sheng wrongly? Will it be too much to alienate him just because of a little bit of unproof suspicion?
But when you think about it again, it seems nothing.
Wang Sheng should not have noticed his alienation, and some things are indeed not suitable for Wang Sheng to know.
"Well, then take a break soon."
Pei Xingjian, led by Wang Sheng, entered the guest room.
The guest rooms are large, divided into two rooms inside and outside.
There is also a large wooden basin in the outer room, with water vapor swaying.
Pei Xingjian asked Wang Sheng and the others to rest, took off their clothes in the guest room alone, and then jumped into the basin.
The hot water suddenly dispels the chill brought by the rain.
Pei Xingjian was also much more awake, and scenes of Wang Jingzhi's home appeared in his mind from time to time.
Now, there are a few things that are certain!
Ming Zhen is very suspicious; King Ke of Wu is also involved; Ming Zhen seems to be offering a strange head, but he is currently unknown; King Ke of Wu manipulated the Yu Pillow Case before because Ming Zhen needs it; the reason why King Ke of Wu wanted to execute Ming Kong was because Ming Zhen.
So the question is, whether it is Mingzhen or Wu Wangke, what is their purpose?
Pei Xingjian had a bad premonition in his heart.
Also, Jiang Long was caught by Chen Min and others before, and it is said that he was attracted by a lot of money.
Who brought them to you? What was the purpose of attracting them? Will those thieves have something to do with Mingzhen or King Ke of Wu?
When the clues gradually became clear and gathered together, Pei Xingjian found that there was still no answer.
The more this happens, the more serious the situation is.
They must figure out their true purpose, otherwise even if there are many clues, they will still be like a blind man touching an elephant.
Perhaps, I should interrogate Jiang Long again?
Although Jiang Long had already explained it clearly, Pei Xingjian still felt that he could continue to dig deeper.
Because, Ming Zhen was missing, and King Ke of Wu was not able to investigate casually, so it was like breaking a line. See if Jiang Long could use that line. If Jiang Long and Ming Zhen were related, they could not be able to follow the clues and follow the clues.
Even if Jiang Long has nothing to do with Ming Zhen, it doesn’t matter.
It is not normal for so many thieves to gather in Chang'an.
If they have something to do... Well, there are still ten days before His Majesty goes to Chongsheng Temple to worship the late emperor, and it is also a good thing to clear these monsters and monsters. We can't let them come out to cause trouble on the day of worshiping the late emperor.
Slow down!
A sudden light of inspiration flashed through Pei Xingjian's mind.
But the inspiration comes and goes quickly, which is very vague.
Will Jiang Long and the others have something to do with tribute to the late emperor?
In an instant, Pei Xingjian shivered in the basin. Although he was soaked in hot water, his body was filled with cold...
Anren County, Dongli, the royal palace behind.
“It’s raining!”
Di Renjie looked at the rain flowing down the eaves and said softly.
Mingkong ignored him and stared at the black cat curled up on the table.
Wang Jingzhi's hand was placed on the black cat.
After a while, he took his hand away, turned his head to look at Mingkong, and shook his head gently at her.
"Huaiyuan, Xiaoyu, is it really beyond salvation?"
"The spirit cat spits out beads, and its vitality is gone.
Even if there is another strange person who is willing to give it the spirit bead, it cannot save its life. It is rare for this little guy to survive until now. Master, I am so embarrassed that I am really powerless. I guess it will not be able to live tonight."
Wang Jingzhi learned Zhu Youshu in Lingnan, but he was not an alien.
Di Renjie remained silent and only looked at Mingkong.
Mingkong walked to the black cat and gently stroked its soft hair.
Well, a bit rough!
Xiaoyu's hair was very soft before, and it felt like silk when touched. The black cat slowly opened his eyes and screamed at Mingkong. It seemed to be comforting Mingkong. But this sound made Mingkong's tears suddenly surge out.
How long has it been since I cried?
It’s really hard to remember it clearly.
Even if Emperor Taizong died, she was sent to Lingbao Temple to give her hair, but she did not shed tears.
But now...
Di Renjie's heart was also sour.
He walked forward and whispered: "Master, don't be sad, Xiaoyu must not want to see you like this."
"It's all me, it's all because of me."
Mingkong's tears flowed unstoppably and fell on the black cat.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a thunder roar outside the house, and the pale light illuminated the courtyard outside the house.
The black cat suddenly struggled to stand up.
Mingkong was stunned and hurriedly reached out and hugged it in his arms.
But the black cat raised his claws and scratched her hand, leaving a few blood marks.
Mingkong let out a soft cry in pain, and subconsciously let go of the black cat. The black cat fell to the ground all at once. Mingkong reacted and quickly bent down to pick up the black cat, but he kept muttering: "Xiaoyu, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was accidentally."
However, the black cat avoided Mingkong's hand.
It staggered out of the house, looking staggering, but it was fast and ran out of the room.
"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu!"
Seeing this, Mingkong was shocked and hurriedly chased him out.
Di Renjie and Wang Jingzhi looked at each other, and both showed confusion. They followed Mingkong and walked out of the room.
The black cat rushed into the heavy rain.
Its figure no longer has the elegance it was before, but it is very fast.
"Xiaoyu, don't run away, come back soon."
Mingkong also rushed into the heavy rain and wanted to chase the black cat back.
However, the black cat was very agile. He reached the wall in just a few seconds and jumped onto the wall.
The rain wet the black cat's hair. It squatted on the wall and looked back at Mingkong. The green eyes seemed to be reluctant to leave.
"Xiaoyu, come down quickly."
Mingkong rushed under the wall and shouted loudly.
The black cat screamed and jumped outside the wall.
"Xiaoyu ran away, hurry up and chase it back, Huaiying, I beg you."
Mingkong's whole body was soaked at this moment.
She shouted at Di Renjie for help, but Di Renjie walked to her with an umbrella and said softly: "I heard that a cat will leave his master before he dies because it does not want his master to see his death. I don't know if the weirdness is like this, but Xiaoyu obviously has this idea. It is weird, so how can it show weakness in front of people?"
"But……"
Mingkong could no longer hold it back and cried out loud.
She threw herself into Di Renjie's arms, but made Di Renjie's body stiffen suddenly.
He didn't know how to comfort him, so he just opened his arms, which seemed very embarrassing.
Under the eaves, Wang Jingzhi saw this scene and shook his head with a wry smile.
He didn't say anything, turned around and left along the corridor.
I have seen a lot of life and death, and it seems that I have been numb.
I originally thought I would die in Lingnan, but I didn't expect that I would return to Chang'an alive.
But I’m back, things have changed!
He felt a little moved and suddenly hummed a minor tune from Lingnan.
Although Chang'an is good, it is not what he expected. Originally, he was still concerned about Princess Nanping, but now the princess has disappeared. What's the point of living in this huge Chang'an City? He remembered his hometown and missed his leisure in Lingnan.
The water in Chang'an is too deep!
He is a weak scholar and is really not suitable for living here.
After a few days, I will submit a letter to leave. Whether it is back to Taiyuan or Lingnan, it is better than the chaotic prosperity of Chang'an.
Bright and calm down.
With Di Renjie's support, she entered the room.
Sitting in the room in a daze, she was a little confused.
She is still alive!
But Xiaoyu left.
Ami's whereabouts are unknown now, and Di Renjie's future is ruined. He is afraid that he will not be able to continue his studies in the Imperial College.
Mingkong looked up and looked at Di Renjie and said, "Huaiying, we have done everything we should do and can do, what should we do next?"
Never felt so weak that Mingkong felt overwhelmed.
Di Renjie handed her a hand towel and whispered: "We can only wait now."
"But, when will we wait?"
"I have no idea!"
Di Renjie looked at Mingkong and said, "I believe it won't be too long.
If I was not mistaken, Pei Jun should have thought of it. He is a smart person and knows how to deal with this situation. Duke Zhao has always been afraid of the King of Wu, and believes that as long as Pei Jun finds him, the truth will be revealed."
King Wu is really too noble!
However, Di Renjie and Ming Kong are too humble to fight against at all.
If you want to find out the truth, you must find someone stronger than King Wu.
Mingkong recommended Zhao Duke Changsun Wuji, who was definitely the most suitable candidate.
You should know that the King of Wu almost endangered his nephew, the throne of the current emperor Li Zhi. Changsun Wuji could not do anything to the King of Wu before, but he would definitely not feel comfortable. As long as there was a chance, he would not let it go.
Whether Di Renjie and Mingkong can turn defeat into victory depends on whether Changsun Wuji will take action!
The rain is getting heavier and heavier.
The black cat jumped out of the wall and walked along the alley aimlessly.
It walked slowly and slowly, and finally could not walk under the walls of Xuanyang Fangfang. Its limbs became weak and it lay in the mud.
Those green eyes gradually disappeared.
The rain hit it, as if it was unaware of it.
Rumbled, and another thunder exploded.
The black cat's body suddenly moved, and then, the moment the rain fell on it, it suddenly turned into fog and sank into the black cat's body. The fog became thicker and thicker, and the rainwater under the black cat's body disappeared. Its body was shrouded in water mist. From a distance, it looked like a ball of cotton. The rain could no longer fall on it.
A black dog appeared on the wall.
Its eyes widened and looked around, and its eyes fell on the mist.
Wang!
The black dog barked, then jumped off the wall and slowly approached the mist.
It screamed again and slowly lay on the ground.
A pair of gloomy eyes seemed to penetrate the mist, and saw clearly the black cat wrapped in the mist.
In this way, a cat and a dog remained motionless.
The rain gradually became lighter and finally stopped at the third day.
The mist wrapped around the black cat's body gradually dissipated, revealing its body.
The black cat curled up, still motionless.
Chapter completed!
