Chapter 12 Mysterious Man

Jiang Sijun returned to the banquet in a daze. After a while, Lin Zi came back and whispered to him, "My lord, Situ's mansion is very heavily guarded today. There are many secret whistles around Situ Nan's room, so it's not easy to get it." Jiang Sijun Si Jun replied with a pale face: "It seems that they have been prepared for a long time. There are so many secret whistles, which shows that there is something shady in Situ's mansion. Let's not act rashly, so as not to startle the snake." Lin Zi replied: "Young master, I'll keep an eye out and see if I can find a way to find an opportunity to get in."

"Everything is careful."

At the banquet, Lin Zixian was a great hero in everyone's hearts. There were many people who admired him, and they rushed to toast him. Although he had a bit of capacity for alcohol, there were too many people who came to toast, and it was difficult to refuse the kindness of those who came to toast. , One cup after another, after a while, he couldn't stand still, as if he had drunk too much, so he was helped and sent to the guest room to rest.

When Jiang Sijun heard that Lin Zixian was drunk, he felt uneasy, so he came to the guest room to visit him. Lin Zixian was lying motionless on the bed, falling asleep. Seeing that he was asleep, Jiang Sijun was about to leave when suddenly A pair of hands grabbed his skirt, Jiang Sijun was stunned for a moment, looked back, and quickly closed the door. After confirming that no one was eavesdropping outside the door, he came back quietly, came to him, and stood in front of him. He whispered in his ear: "Brother Zixian, are you okay!"

Lin Zixian got up suddenly and sat up, with a dignified expression, and whispered, "Brother Si Jun, I'm fine, just now I accidentally saw a young man, looks like a person?"

"Who?"

"An assassin!"

"How do you know, did he attack you?"

"No, he has a scar on his left hand. I recognize him. He is the assassin who assassinated me on my way to Mingzhou three years ago. He appeared here today. I don't know what it means. Did he come to assassinate me again? What did he do? Will appear here, could it be that he originally came from Situ Mansion."

Jiang Sijun said with some unease: "Then you have to take more precautions and be careful. I'll send someone outside the room to protect your safety!" Lin Zixian said with a look of disdain: "I've been chasing this person for a long time, and I've been tracking him down for a long time. I don’t have any clues. I didn’t expect to find it here today. This is a good opportunity given by God. How could I let it go? Don’t worry, most people can’t hurt me. If there are too many people, he will be suspicious. I’ll test it out tonight, let’s see him Will he come to kill me?" Jiang Sijun said anxiously, "Be careful, don't be careless, people in the Jianghu are full of tricks."

Jiang Sijun still pretended to be calm and relaxed, pushed the door and went out. There was no change in his face, but he still couldn't let it go, but he couldn't stay in the room for too long, so as not to irritate others. Suspect.

There were quite a lot of people here today, he looked around carefully, but he didn't find the boy Lin Zixian was talking about, nor did he find anything suspicious.

Lin Zixian continued to pretend to be asleep in the house, but after waiting for a long time, no one stepped in. It seemed that the assassin would not attack today, but seeing him here, I don't know if it was a coincidence.

The night was getting darker, the banquet was over, everyone went back to their homes, but Lin Zixian inevitably returned home a little bit disappointed, he didn't find the assassin, and he didn't have any news about him, which made him feel relaxed. stand up.

On the second day, after leaving court, Jiang Sijun had already made an appointment with Lin Zixian to meet at Qixuan Pavilion. Lin Zixian didn't have any errands, so he was naturally very leisurely. There was no war, so he cultivated at home. He had been fighting for the past few years , there will inevitably be injuries on the body, just take this opportunity to recuperate.It's rare to have a few days of leisure like now.

Jiang Sijun also arrived as promised. Lin Zixian had been waiting for a long time, and it was rare to get together in the past few years. When Lin Zixian saw Jiang Sijun, he quickly got up and said, "Brother Sijun, come quickly, I've been waiting for you for a long time. You finally came."

Jiang Sijun knew that he must have asked him to come here because of yesterday's incident, so he said straight to the point: "I'm sorry, there are some things in the court that have been delayed, and brother Zixian has been waiting for a long time. I have ordered Lin Zi to investigate secretly. That boy He just came a few days ago, after the banquet yesterday, no one has seen him again, and no trace of him can be found, this person is not from Situ Mansion, I don't know who put his eyeliner there."

Lin Zixian heaved a long sigh, and said: "In the past few years, I have always felt that someone was watching secretly, because I was always on the stand, and I didn't have time to think about it. Now I finally have time, and I must find out who is behind this scene. People, why do you want to assassinate me several times?"

Jiang Sijun comforted: "Don't worry, I'm still involved in this matter. I will definitely help you find this person and find out the truth behind the incident."

Lin Zixian is very happy that he still has such a friend.

Jiang Sijun took the liberty to ask: "Are you willing to marry the princess?" This is something he really wants to know, because he stayed up all night because of this matter yesterday, he wanted to know Lin Zixian's thoughts, and he wanted to tell him If you say "he doesn't want to marry her", you will have a chance.

Lin Zixian replied with some embarrassment: "The princess is really beautiful, but she is a bit quiet, I like lively and cute ones." Hearing this, Jiang Sijun was overjoyed.

Lin Zixian said again: "However, it's okay to marry her. Although she is not my ideal wife, she is indeed good looking and has some talents. I will just let it go so as not to embarrass everyone." He said this as if he was very reluctant, but the joy in his heart was clearly revealed on his face, and he couldn't hide it, just like he had a baby and couldn't help but want to show it off in front of others.He was fascinated by the princess when he saw her for the first time yesterday. Her beautiful face, noble temperament, and elegant conversation made people fascinated. So many advantages fell on one person, which shows how much God is. of eccentricity.

But Jiang Sijun's mood was not so good, his fantasy was shattered just like that.Lin Zixian didn't notice this at all.Still a proud look.Of course, he doesn't know what his good brother thinks, and it is absolutely impossible for him to think that he likes Princess Kangping, but he just thinks that he is worried about his own marriage.

At this moment, a handsome young man came to them and sat down. Lin Zixian hurriedly asked, "Brother, did you sit in the wrong seat?"

I saw the young man replied unhurriedly: "Under Liu Shiyue, I met the two sons." Both of them were stunned at the same time, Jiang Sijun suddenly said: "You are Liu Shiyue", Lin Zixian He looked at Jiang Sijun's face with a question mark in surprise, and felt it was incredible, so he asked: "Brother Si Jun, haven't you met Miss Liu? Isn't she your unmarried wife? How could you not?" know her."

Liu Shiyue did not answer Lin Zixian's question, but continued: "Young Master Jiang, thank you for what you have done for our Jiang family. Your great kindness and virtue will always be in my heart, and I will definitely repay you in the future."

Jiang Sijun politely replied: "Miss Liu, I'm ashamed, Brother Ling is a decent person, even if it were someone else, I would investigate and find out the truth, and give him justice. Don't thank me."

After hearing this, Liu Shiyue was very moved, so she stood up and made a big salute.Said: "Thank you Mr. Jiang, I believe in my brother's character, I will definitely find the real culprit behind the scenes for him, and restore my brother's innocence."

A few days ago, Liu Shiyue heard that there was a change in her family, so she hurried home. The whole family was worried about her elder brother, trying to find a way, but at this juncture, who could help? Looking at her elderly parents, she was not sensible She suddenly felt that she should shoulder the burden of the family and could no longer be that wayward young lady. Jiangnan and his party had made her taste the injustice in this matter. She wanted to be a responsible person, although she was Women also want to uphold justice in this world.

She heard that when Jiang Sijun was in trouble with the Liu family, he did not rush to get rid of the relationship to protect himself, but stepped forward, and was very moved. She also felt that she had misjudged him before, and did not cherish this fate. The marriage may also be cancelled, which is a bit regrettable.

I came here today to thank him specially, and at the same time, I also hope that he can help me to wash away my brother's grievances.

After seeing the real Liu Shiyue, Jiang Sijun finally realized how sloppy he was before, and he would admit the wrong person. Now the truth is already there, and his last remaining illusions are completely closed.

Now everyone misunderstood that he was in love with Liu Shiyue and had a deep affection for her, which also dispelled the rumors that he was not close to women and hated women.

Because of this reason, many famous ladies want to marry him, and they also hope that he will dissolve the engagement as soon as possible and become a free person, so that he can send someone to his home to talk about marriage. It is not good to have no engagement. up.

No matter what their relationship is now, Jiang Sijun is willing to help her.After Liu Shiyue left, Lin Zixian stared straight at Jiang Sijun, seeing that Jiang Sijun was uncomfortable, and suddenly asked with a smile: "You haven't met Liu Shiyue, so it's impossible to fall in love with her, I think There may be other reasons. It seems that you are still the brother Si Jun I know, a cold and noble son, not close to women.

Jiang Sijun said with a displeased face: "I'm not in the mood to mess around with you. I'm talking about business. I sent someone to keep an eye on Situ's mansion. That person hasn't appeared again. It seems that the clue has been broken again." Said: "It was so easy, I would have found him a long time ago, this person is not easy, I will find him no matter where the world ends."

Speaking of this matter, we have to go back to three years ago. At that time, Lin Zixian was still a teenager. He left the capital for the first time to follow his father to practice in the army.

As soon as he arrived at the border, he was assigned to his father's old subordinate, General Huo, to guard Shaocheng. Because he was young and had no experience in marching and fighting, he just studied the art of war at home, learned a lot of theoretical knowledge, and had no actual combat experience. No important position was assigned to him. He trained like the soldiers during the day, read books and studied various tactics at night, and lived a fairly fulfilling life.
