Chapter 96: back to Beijing

Chapter 96: back to Beijing

    Master Yin hurriedly pulled the curtain at his hand to stabilize his figure, his small eyes were stretched to the extreme by the fright, and he turned his head to look at Wen Chi in a panic: "What's going on!"

    Wen Chi's face was also not very good-looking. He stretched out his hand to help Mr. Yin, who almost fell to the ground, and comforted: "Master Yin, you wait here for a while, I'll go out and have a look."

    Master Yin said anxiously: "Wenchi!"

    Wen Chi patted his shoulder lightly, then stood up, supported the roof of the carriage and quickly got off the carriage.

      The men in black are especially conspicuous.

    The entire head of the man in black was wrapped in black cloth, only revealing a pair of eyes full of evil spirits, and he held a dagger tightly in his right hand, which happened to pierce the chest of a guard.

    The man in black neatly pulled out the dagger, pushed away the guard who fell on top of him, then turned his head consciously, just to meet Wenchi's gaze.

    Wen Chi was stunned, and his mind went blank for a moment, stimulated by the strong **** smell in the air.

    He glanced at the carriage walking in front of them, and saw that the four guards who were sitting in the carriage had become corpses and were lying on the snow, even the two coachmen Not spared.

    Obviously, the man in black came for him and Lord Yin.

    However, Wen Chi's intuition told him that the man in black most likely came only for him.

    At this moment, the man in black suddenly flew towards Wenchi by performing light work, and at the same time, his right hand was suddenly raised, and the dagger he held in his hand smashed into the air with lightning speed. Warm pool.

    The strong wind swept through, and a strand of his black hair was cut by the sharp blade of the dagger, and fluttered to the snow with the wind.

    Wen Chi didn't have time to take a look at the strand of hair, and suddenly raised his hand to block the attack of the man in black.

    The man in black was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he was approaching Wen Chi. Seeing that the first sneak attack could not be successful, he quickly launched the second attack. He stabbed the new dagger into Wen Chi's shoulder without saying a word - he obviously wanted to capture Wen Chi alive, compared to just killing the guard.

    Seeing this, Wen Chi immediately understood.

    This person really came for him alone.

    Wen Chi turned to dodge again.

    Because the distance between him and the man in black is too close this time, he can only avoid the dagger in the hand of the man in black. If the direction of the man in black moves further, I am afraid Just hit his shoulder.

    "Wait a minute!" Wen Chi was anxious, opened his mouth and said weakly, "Brother, I surrender!"

    The man in black didn't seem to expect Wen Chi to beg for mercy so quickly, and there was a momentary hesitation in his actions.

    But at this moment, Wen Chi suddenly raised his foot and kicked the man in black.

    This kick is a lot of effort.

    The next moment, the man in black let out a tragic wailing, and his body trembled with the naked eye.

    Even though the man in black covered his face with a black cloth, the sharp pain still came out of his eyes, and he stared at Wen Chi very coldly, as if immediately It's like swallowing Wenchi alive.

    Wen Chi is also a man, just imagining the pain of being kicked makes goose bumps all over, but he is not in the mood to pity the man in black at the moment, he takes advantage of the man in black Painfully covering his crotch, he turned and ran.

    In order to let the man in black catch up with him, he deliberately only used 60-70% of the light work.

    After flying for a while, he looked back.

      .

    Fortunately, after the man in black passed that kick, his movement was blocked. Even though Wen Chi deliberately slowed down, he could not catch up with Wen Chi for the time being.

    Wen Chi hangs the man in black like this, until he flew a long distance, he is not ready to get rid of the man in black - he is not bad in Qinggong, but also in Qinggong. When people started to move, he probably couldn't beat the man in black. If it wasn't to protect Lord Yin in the carriage, he wouldn't have run so far at risk.

    Wen Chi was about to speed up when suddenly a pale yellow figure descended from the sky and landed lightly in front of him.

    Taking a closer look, it is Zuozhi.

    The man in black who was chasing behind Wen Chi seemed to know Zuo Zhi. When he saw Zuo Zhi, his eyes suddenly changed and he turned to run.

    Where will Zuozhi give him a chance to escape? A little bit on the toes, the whole person is like a yellow butterfly, flying easily, catching up with the man in black and using inner strength A palm hit the chest of the man in black.

    The man in black groaned, unable to bear it all at once, and fell abruptly from the air, landing heavily on the snow.

    Zuo Zhi fell in front of the man in black with a blank expression.

    Wen Chi hurriedly greeted him: "Zuozhi!"

      , said something badly, and stretched out his hand to squeeze the chin of the man in black, trying to stop something.

    Too late.

    I saw that the eyes of the man in black quickly became distracted, the pupils gradually enlarged, and soon they lost focus.

    Zuo Zhi reached out and probed under the nose of the man in black: "He is dead."

    Wen Chi remembered that Zuo Zhi just slapped the man in black on the chest, and that slap should not be enough to kill... As a result, the man in black died so quickly, he was stunned for a moment : "How did he die?"

    Zuo Zhi squeezed the cheek of the man in black, and forced the man in black to open his mouth.

    The blood immediately poured out of the mouth of the man in black, and it wet Zuozhi's fingertips. Zuozhi didn't realize it, and took out an unswallowed black pill from the mouth in black.

    Wen Chi looked at the pill and immediately understood what was going on - when he was running with the crew before, he had seen the dead man in two or three costume crews fail to attack the target and take poison The plot of suicide, I didn't expect this plot to actually happen in front of him.

    Wen Chi's expression was indescribable, but Zuo Zhi stared at the pill and fell into deep thought.

    After a while, Zuo Zhi let out a smirk, which also pulled back Wen Chi's thoughts.

    Only Zuo Zhi sneered: "They plan carefully, and even the killers they send are specially looking for unfamiliar faces. It's a pity that they were exposed in such small details in the end."

     Wen Chi heard the words and looked at the pill again, but he did not see any difference between the pill and the ordinary pill.

    Zuo Zhi seemed to see Wen Chi's doubts, she took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood off the pills, then opened her palms to Wen Chi so that Wen Chi could check the pills in her palm: "Master, look carefully, what's written on it."

    Wen Chi took a closer look, and saw a smaller "flower" engraved on the small pill, and the pill was black. word.

    "Flowers?"

    "Yes." Zuo Zhi nodded, looking at the corpse on the ground coldly, "He is a killer sent by the Hua family."

    Flowers? !

    Wen Chi couldn't hide his surprise, and stared at Zuo Zhi blankly.

    Isn't the Hua family the family of Shi Ye's mother? Not to mention the relationship between him and Shi Ye, just because he and the Hua family have never had any grievances or hatreds, and even have no contact at all, why did the Hua family suddenly stare at him?

    Is it…

    Is it because of Shi Ye?

    Wen Chi subconsciously thinks this is impossible, Shi Ye is more or less half of the Hua family, and Shi Ye, as the prince, complements the Hua family, if the Hua family moves Shi Ye, it is equivalent to killing The enemy loses one thousand and eight hundred... Why did the Hua family put their ideas on Shi Ye's head?

    Soon, Wen Chi remembered what happened in the East Palace, the dead Yueshan, and the dead young man, Shi Ye once said that they were all sent by the Hua family.

    Wen Chi didn't understand what Shi Ye meant at that time. To be precise, he had no concept of the Hua family, but now that I think about it, I just feel the chills behind my back, and that coolness goes along The back climbed up, causing him to shiver uncontrollably.

    Wen Chi was full of doubts, but now is not the time to talk about it. He was escorted by Zuozhi and returned to the place where the incident happened not long ago. Lord Yin in the carriage was no longer there, so the two The people returned to Zhou Mansion together, and hurriedly told Zhou Zhi Mansion and others what had happened before.

    Zhou Zhifu was shocked, and hurriedly arranged for someone to find Lord Yin and deal with other funeral matters.

    After a frantic search, the people from the Zhou family finally found Lord Yin back.

    Mr. Yin seemed to be quite frightened. Fortunately, he was safe and sound. Zhou Zhifu, whose heart was hanging in his throat, was relieved to see that Lord Yin was still alive.

    After this incident, everyone who originally planned to work overtime during the Chinese New Year had to take their annual leave in advance.

    Wen Chi returned to his residence and saw Shi Ye sitting at the table in his bedroom as usual, with a seemingly normal book in his hand.

    Hearing Wen Chi's approaching footsteps, Shi Ye looked up.

    Xu is used to staying here, Shi Ye took off the mask on his face a few days ago, although the burn marks on half of his face are still hideous, but Wen Chi sees too much and nothing feel it.

    Wen Chi walked to Shi Ye silently, pulled out the chair, and sat down.

    Shi Ye glanced at the sky outside the window and said, "I came back very early today."

    Wen Chi hesitated: "Something happened on the road."

    Shi Ye snorted, put down the book, and listened attentively: "Tell me."

    However, Wen Chi did not speak, but stared at the book that Shi Ye had spread out on the table rather vigilantly.

    Shi Ye caught Wen Chi's eyes, laughed, shook his head, pressed the page with his slender fingertips, moved it to Wen Chi, and said innocently, "I bought this myself. books, not yours."

    Wen Chi noticed that in front of him, Shi Ye called himself Ben Gong, and then called himself me.

    And that's not the point.

    "What happened to my books? All I read are serious books." Wen Chi closed the book embarrassedly, and then calmed his face, took out a white handkerchief from his cuff, opened the handkerchief, Inside was the black pill, "Look at this."

    Similar to Zuozhi, Shi Ye recognized the origin of the pills with just a glance, but he was much calmer than Zuozhi, his eyes and expression were light and light, like a lake without any waves, and It seems that the pill in front of me is just an ordinary pill.

    But after a moment of silence, Shi Ye asked, "Where does this thing come from?"

    Wen Chi told Shi Ye what happened today.

    Shi Ye listened quietly. Although there was no change in his face, Wen Chi could feel that the breath that permeated his body was gradually becoming colder, and his eyelashes were very long. , but couldn't hide the coldness in his eyes.

    Wen Chi was frightened by Shi Ye's sudden change, shrank his shoulders like a quail, and asked in a low voice for a long time, "Why did the Hua family find me?"

    Shi Ye didn't answer and asked, "Are you afraid of death?"

    This question sounds funny, but Wen Chi thought about it for a while, and answered truthfully: "Although I haven't encountered anything particularly interesting in my life, I don't want to die yet. "

    Shi Ye raised his hand, paused in mid-air, and finally landed on Wen Chi's head. He touched Wen Chi's soft hair, and there was a slight hint in his deep voice Rare softness: "I won't let you die, you will live well."

    Wen Chi raised his eyes and met Shi Ye's dark eyes, which contained emotions he couldn't understand.

    Then, he tilted his head suddenly, avoiding Shi Ye's hand on his head.

    Shi Ye was just stunned for a moment, didn't say anything, and took his hand away calmly.

    Wen Chi asked him: "Am I going to die?"

    Shi Ye said: "Their target is me, the reason why they are eyeing you is just to threaten me with you."

    Wen Chi was a little speechless when he got this answer. He didn't know how the Hua family came to this conclusion, but this conclusion was too funny. The Hua family overestimated his weight in Shi Ye's heart. .

    Thinking of this, Wen Chi couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart, and he had no other choice but to suppress these emotions as much as possible.

    "You said their target is you..." Wen Chi finally asked the doubts in his heart, "What do you mean by this? Isn't your mother a flower family? Are you not a family?"

    These words caused Shi Ye to chuckle disdainfully: "Who said I was family with them?"

     Warm up.

    Shi Ye said very easily: "They once sent me back to the palace, intending to train me to be their puppet to deal with the royal family, but unfortunately I not only did not do what they wanted, but suppressed them everywhere. Now they know they can't control me, and they want to drag me down."

    Wen Chi scratched his head: "But if you have an accident, the Hua's family will be severely damaged."

    Shi Ye shook his head gently: "If I am gone, the Hua family will be depressed for a while before they can come back and cultivate new puppets. If I am still there, they will always be suppressed by me. ."

    Speaking, Shi Ye seemed to think of something suddenly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more mocking, "Have you forgotten how the Hua family pushed Hua Yanrong to the back? As long as the Hua family If this ability is still there, there will always be a comeback, and I'm just a **** that does more harm than good."

    Wen Chi was speechless in shock.

    Even at this moment, a bold conjecture slowly emerged in his heart - is the person who overthrew Shiye's tyrannical rule in the original novel really Shijin? Will there be Huajia behind the scenes?

    The plot shown in the original novel is just the plot that the author wants readers to see, and the characters in the original novel are just paper people made up by the author-Wen Chi always thought so.

    It was not until he came to this world that he realized that the plot he knew was just the tip of the iceberg.

    Shi Ye will not become violent for no reason, and Shi Jin will not suddenly change from a gentle prince who does not fight to fight to a hero who overthrows the tyrannical rule of the emperor...

    There are different reasons behind all of this, but unfortunately Wen Chi, who has read the original novel, doesn't know about it.

    Seeing that the new year is getting closer and closer, Wen Chi, who had taken an early vacation, is idle, but Shi Ye is getting busier and busier.

    To the back, Eunuch Zhu was urging Shi Ye to return to Beijing quickly, just one letter a day.

    After Shi Ye left, Wen Chi's life didn't change...it seemed to be a little boring.

    But what Wen Chi didn't expect was that he and Shi Ye had been separated for nearly two years, and unknowingly he had also lived in Jinzhou for more than two years.

    There are a lot of gossips in the capital, but I don't know if it was because Zuo Zhi and Liu De deliberately blocked them. None of those gossips reached Wen Chi's ears.

    Occasionally, Wen Chi would hear from Master Yin that the emperor's illness was getting worse or that the prince was in an embarrassed situation after the emperor became seriously ill.

    Whenever this happens, Wen Chi will be silent, bowing his head and silently doing what he is doing.

    He thought, even if he knew the plot, he really couldn't help Shi Ye.

    Two years later.

    Jinju snow fell like goose feathers again, and the snow covered the whole Jinju with a silver coat.

    Even Zhou Zhifu is sighing that it has never seen snow in Jinzhou for so many years, who knows that since the country began to deal with the locust plague, it has snowed almost every year, which really adds to everyone's experience less things.

    Fortunately, the disaster situation has eased a lot now. They organized the people to build protected areas, dig river channels, and afforestation, and requisitioned a lot of manpower from the people, although the money allocated by the imperial court was a lot of money Going out, but at least temporarily solved the problem of food and clothing for the people.

    Of course, the road to improving people's livelihood is particularly long and requires the concerted efforts of Zhou Zhifu and several local officials.

    As for Lord Yin, Wen Chi and others, they can also hand over their affairs to the people below and return to Beijing together.

    The road from Jinzhou to the capital has been covered with thick snow. Although the road has not been closed, it is extremely difficult to walk. The original three-day journey was dragged to five or six days.

    Master Yin and others are eager to return to their hometown, and they are looking forward to it almost every day, counting the days with their fingers.

    Among so many people, only Wen Chi stayed in the carriage safely. Facing everyone's rambled discussions, he didn't even lift his eyelids and closed his eyes like a wooden man. .

     When Mr. Yin saw this, he felt amused, but at the same time, he also felt that he was too unstable, and he was still anxious with those few hairy boys. Should.

    On this day, while those hairy boys got off the carriage and swayed around, Master Yin glanced at Wen Chi, who was sitting in a daze in the corner, and coughed: "What are your plans after you go back? "

    Wen Chi returned to his senses and looked at Sir Yin blankly.

    Master Yin looked at Wen Chi's white cheeks and round almond eyes, and couldn't help thinking of his own son. His second son was also Wen Chi's age, but he was drunk and dreaming all day. When I was studying, I knew that I would go out to drink flower wine with the group of friends.

    In the past two years, Mr. Yin has naturally taken Wen Chi's performance in his eyes. Together with that time he and Wen Chi were attacked on the carriage, Wen Chi ran down to protect him and distracted the killer things, he always kept in mind.

    Master Yin considered for a moment, and finally said the words that had been hidden in his heart for a long time: "I don't know whether to say these words or not, but for the sake of our acquaintance, I I still have to tell you, this time back to Beijing, although we are not perfect in merit, we have fulfilled the emperor’s orders. If you are willing, I will make a request to the emperor for you, asking the emperor to see your credit and hard work in the past two years. Come on, open the Internet, don't remember your past mistakes, and give you back your freedom."

    As soon as these words came out, Wen Chi's blank eyes suddenly became clear, and his expression became visibly happy: "Is this possible?"

    At first, Lord Yin was still a little hesitant. He had seen a lot of things that caused him to be meddled in his own business. Besides, the relationship between Wen Chi and His Royal Highness was not the one he had seen before. However, the surprise in Wen Chi's eyes rushed to him like a tide, and instantly washed away his few hesitations.

    Master Yin squinted and smiled: "As long as you want, you can do it."

    Wen Chi sat upright and bowed his hands to Lord Yin gratefully: "I will keep in mind the three times of your help, and I will repay you again if there is a chance in the future."

    He does want to leave.

    At least stay away from the East Palace and Shi Ye.

    The mighty people spent five and a half days on the road, and finally returned to the capital on the evening of the sixth day.

    This time the journey was arduous and long, and even Mr. Yin, who often travels long distances, vomited several times. In Wenchi, who is used to flying high-speed trains in modern times, he couldn't stand it. When he got off the carriage , the footsteps are vain and wobbly.

    Fortunately, Ruofang came to support him in time.

    After returning to Beijing, the first thing they have to do is to go home to rectify and rest, and gather outside the palace gate the next morning for an audience.

    Wen Chi was too tired, so he returned to the newly relocated Bamboo Flute Curie by Eunuch Zhu, briefly took a bath, ate something, lay on the bed, and soon fell asleep .

    I don't know how long I slept.

    During half-dreaming, Wen Chi vaguely felt that someone was coming in, sat beside his bed, and gently stroked his hair.

    Wen Chi wanted to open his eyes to see who was coming, but he was so tired that he lost the strength to open his eyes.
