The merman brother bit me again

Chapter 167 I'll leave after I recover from my injury for a while. (plus 16 more)

He raised his eyelashes again, stared at the undulating lake surface for a while, and said expressionlessly, "Get up."

After a while, the people in the lake finally slowly surfaced.

The cloak cap slipped off his head, a head of wet silver hair poured onto the water, and the shattered light of the bright moon fell on his side, forming clusters of elongated rays of light, swaying in the water.

And his shoulder was stained with blood, obviously severely injured.

He emerged from the water, and the water droplets from the upper and lower eyelashes merged little by little, melting into the scallop scales that wet the ends of the eyes with water vapor.

But because he was wearing a mask, there was no way to see his expression clearly.

Fusu looked at Lin Weixu who was looking down at him indifferently from the shore, his lips moved slightly, and his voice sounded darker and hoarse than usual, "I'll leave after recovering from my injury for a while."

To this, Lin Weixu's answer was still two cold words: "Go ashore."

Fusu looked at her, then lowered his head and pressed the wound on his shoulder. Just as he was about to endure the pain and go ashore, at this moment, there was a strange movement outside the mansion.

Lin Weixu glanced over at Xunsheng, and when he turned his head back, Fusu had dived into the water again.

Soon Xu Bai led someone in to report: "My lord, the commander of the imperial guards led troops to surround the National Teacher's Mansion, saying that he wanted to arrest the assassin."

Lin Weixu's expression was flat, and he said calmly, "Let them in."

Xu Bai didn't ask any more questions, so he decided to send a message.

And Lin Weixu looked at the Qinghu Lake which had regained its tranquility, fell silent, lowered his head and wiped away the few drops of blood splashed on the grass with his boots.

She folded her hands and walked out of Mu Garden.

As soon as he walked to the courtyard, the commander of the Imperial Guard led his troops into the National Teacher's Mansion, and the hidden guards in the mansion stood in front of Lin Weixu, and the two sides just formed a confrontation in the huge courtyard.

The commander of the Imperial Guard looked intently at the national teacher standing under the eaves of the corridor opposite the courtyard. After all, there was a difference in dignity. The commander of the Imperial Guard took two steps forward and bowed to the national teacher. Master's Office, it is really offensive, please forgive me, Master National Teacher."

Lin Weixu slightly curled his lower lip, and leaned lazily on the stone chair railing in the corridor beside him, his tone was leisurely but dignified: "Tell me what happened first, and then talk about whether I will forgive you or not." this problem."

The Commander of the Imperial Guard knew that the Master of the Imperial Guard was sorry, but the difference this time was that he was ordered by His Majesty to investigate the matter strictly, and no matter what, His Majesty the Emperor was behind him, so this time the Commander of the Imperial Guard He gained a lot of confidence, and then said: "An assassin appeared in the palace tonight, I chased him all the way, and found that the assassin escaped to the National Teacher's Mansion, please cooperate with the search, Master National Teacher."

Lin Weixu casually put his hands on the side of the guardrail, tapped with his fingertips, and asked casually, "What are you searching for?"

"assassin."

Xu Bai, who was standing beside Lin Weixu, finally couldn't help shouting angrily, "Bold, this is the National Teacher's Mansion! How dare you wait so presumptuously!"

The commander of the imperial guards still said: "In order to arrest the assassin, please cooperate with the master!"

At this time, behind the imperial guards, there was a high-pitched voice—"Your Majesty is here!"

The imperial guards who surrounded the National Teacher's Mansion moved out of the way, and the emperor in a robe came.

"National Teacher, there are indeed assassins who took advantage of the Ghost Festival to commit crimes in the palace today. In order to catch the assassins earlier, you should ask the commander-in-chief to search for one or two. If the assassins really did not hide in the National Teacher's Mansion, you can let the commander-in-chief continue to go to other places." local search."

As soon as the words fell, Lin Weixu stood up slowly from the stone chair, bowed his head slightly to the emperor, and said without thinking, "Then search."

With this permission, the commander of the Imperial Guard immediately ordered his troops to search the inside and outside of the National Teacher's Mansion separately.

During the entire search process, Lin Weixu looked up at the fireworks that were still blooming in the night sky quite leisurely.

After about a quarter of an hour, the imperial guards who searched separately came back one after another. The answers were all the same, and no one could be found.

In the end, the commander of the imperial guards came out from Mu Garden and reported to the emperor that the assassin was not found.

The emperor's face was cold, and he didn't show any abnormality, he just said: "Since there is no one, let's go to other places to search."

The commander of the imperial guards said yes and was about to lead the troops to leave.

At this time, Lin Weixu looked back lazily after watching the fireworks, and stopped him, "Wait a minute."

Lin Weixu strolled down the steps in the court, and continued, "The assassin didn't show up at the National Teacher's Mansion, but the commander-in-chief insisted that he saw the assassin running towards me, in an attempt to frame and slander the current National Teacher. Your Majesty, may I ask?" What should the commander do for this matter?"

The emperor squinted his eyes and asked: "My lord...how do you think we should deal with it?"

Hearing this, the commander of the Imperial Guard was startled and looked at the emperor.

Lin Weixu went on to say: "The presence of assassins in the palace is due to the negligence of the commander of the imperial guards, which allowed the assassins to take advantage of them. Now that I can't catch the assassins, they still come to my house to disturb me and slander me." For my reputation, Your Majesty also asks the commander to be demoted and meditate behind closed doors."

Lin Weixu's speech was done in one go, calm and composed, without a moment's pause at all.

After finishing speaking, he looked at the commander of the Imperial Guard from top to bottom, and stood still.

This made the commander of the imperial guards standing behind the emperor turn pale as he heard it, and at the same time confirmed one thing——

Even after recuperating for half a year, this Great Qin Imperial Master still has the nature of vengeance...

The commander of the Janissaries immediately knelt down before the emperor to affirm his innocence.

What he thought was, after all, the national teacher had been in seclusion for half a year, and the power in Beijing must have weakened a lot. It is no longer like half a year ago, covering the sky with one hand. It is impossible for His Majesty to really punish him because of the national teacher's remark.

However, the fact is that right after he finished his statement, the emperor settled down and didn't look at him, but said to Lin Weixu, "The national teacher is right, so let's do what the national teacher said."

After all, the emperor no longer stayed here, turned around and left.

Eunuch Gao observed his words and expressions, and immediately raised his voice, "Drive! Go back to the palace!~"

Lin Weixu sent it outside the residence with a cold face, "Send off Your Majesty respectfully."

Just when she was about to turn around and go back to the house, she caught a glimpse of Lin Qingyou who was hiding behind the stone statue from the corner of her eye, and Lin Weixu walked up to her slowly.

As soon as Karen Lin looked up, she saw her.

"What are you here for?"

Being watched by her, Karen Lin became nervous subconsciously: "I... I heard that the assassin ran away to the National Teacher's Mansion, I'm worried..."

Lin Weixu remained expressionless: "What are you worried about?"

"I..." Karen Lin was forced to look at her. After a long while, she didn't dare to say the original words. She faltered and turned into another sentence, "I'm worried... I didn't catch the assassin."

"Oh, I didn't catch it."

Lin Qingyou patted her chest, "That's good..."

Lin Weixu looked at her: "..."

He raised his eyebrows slightly, thoughtfully.

But Lin Qingyou didn't know how stupid she was. Knowing that Lin Weixu was not in any danger, she forced herself to calmly walk out from the corner of the stone statue, "Then I'll go back first, and see you, National Teacher."

After all, he was afraid that Lin Weixu would find fault with her, so he ran away in a panic.

After returning to Muyuan, dismissing all the servants, Lin Weixu lazily lowered his gloomy eyes, returned to the edge of Qinghu Lake, and quietly looked at the water surface.

This time, without Lin Weixu opening his mouth, Fusu in the water quickly emerged by himself, looked up at her, and jumped onto the surface of the water.

He was drenched all over, stood in front of Lin Weixu, stared at Lin Weixu for a long time, and said slowly: "Thank you, Master——"
