Chapter 1

"It hurts!"

Ding Wei frowned fiercely, feeling a little annoyed in her heart, it's okay to be scolded by her father during the day, why should it be so hard to dream at night.

She subconsciously stretched out her hand to push away the heavy object on her body. The warmth of her hand made her mutter a few words in doubt, and then fell into a deep sleep again.

Naturally, she opened her eyes without seeing the "heavy object" that was overturned by her, but she also fell into a dark and sweet dream within a few moments.

The dim candlelight, through the blue curtain, reflected on the faces of a man and a woman on the bed. One was masculine and handsome, the other was bright and feminine. They were sleeping opposite each other. No matter how you looked at them, there was an unspeakable tranquility and harmony.

Outside the window, a well-built old butler in silk and satin clothes listened intently to the silence in the house, so he tentatively asked in a low voice, "Master, do you need an old servant to come in and serve you?"

But after waiting for a long time, no one in the room responded.The old housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief, and finally a look of joy flashed in his eyes, and he quickly turned around and waved to the shadow of the eaves.A young woman with an ordinary appearance and very neat clothes followed him into the room lightly.

The old housekeeper lifted the curtain slightly, glanced at the two men in disheveled clothes, then quickly let go, and whispered to the young woman, "Yun Ying, I will entrust this woman to you from now on. Protect her no matter what." Be safe, I'll be there as soon as possible."

The woman named Yunying knelt down on one knee, bowed her head respectfully, and replied solemnly, "Father, don't worry, Yunying will definitely complete the task to the death."

The old housekeeper sighed, and said in a low voice, "It's hard for you to have a adoptive father like me."

The young woman shook her head, and didn't say much at the end, she got up and tore off the brocade quilt and rolled up the sleeping woman in the bed, bent down to carry her and went out, quickly disappearing into the night.

The old butler looked at the man lying alone on the bed with a guilty expression, and carefully tidied his clothes while muttering, "Master, the three generations of the Gongzhi family are single heirs, and now you have been plotted against, this old slave really can't bear that you can't even keep a blood My servant. That’s why I came up with such a bad plan. If the general finds out about it in the future, he can punish the old slave in any way. I only hope that the fathers and rulers will bless you, and the daughter must be conceived.”

As he spoke like this, he quickly tidied up the man neatly, checked for a long while that there was nothing wrong with it, and then brought a bowl of herbal tea and poured it down for the man.

Perhaps the coolness in his throat was too irritating, and the man quickly opened his eyes.The coldness and vigilance that shot out from the eyes instantly swept across the room like two sharp knives. The old housekeeper hurriedly said, "Master, are you feeling unwell?"

Hearing the familiar voice, the man frowned subconsciously, and then asked in a deep voice, "How long have I been asleep?"

The old butler felt a little guilty, half-explained and half-covered, "Perhaps the formula of the petrochemical powder was wrong, and you fell asleep for half an hour."

The man hooked his feet subconsciously, and the dull and numb touch immediately filled his eyes with anger, and his hands hanging by his sides were tightly clenched into fists, but he said lightly, "Let's start. "

Hearing this, the old butler took two small porcelain bottles out of his pocket, opened one wine jug that poured a red pill and threw it on the table, and then poured a black pill from the other porcelain bottle, holding it in his hands. sent to the man.

The man picked up the pill and was about to put it in his mouth, but the old housekeeper knelt down on the ground and pleaded, "Master, let's send someone to report to the old prince, if the old prince knows that His Royal Highness is so cruel, I will definitely decide for the young master."

The man didn't know what he thought of, his face was flickering, extremely complicated, but finally he shook his head and said, "No need! After I escape this catastrophe, I will take his life!"

After all, he threw the pill into his mouth without hesitation, chewed it slowly as if tasting a peerless delicacy, and then ordered, "If there is any accident, half of the money saved in the mansion will be distributed to the shadow guards, and half will be reserved for you for retirement!"

Hearing such "last words", the old housekeeper couldn't bear it any longer, and wept tears, "Master, you must persevere. The four groups of Fenghuolanlin have all gone out to find the magic doctor. This fake death pill can delay for half a month. The day the young master wakes up must be the time for recovery."

But the man didn't speak any more, his burly body was leaning against the bed, gradually losing his breath.

The old housekeeper slammed his head on the ground, finally got up, grabbed the jug on the table and sprinkled some wine on the man's skirt and mouth, and then screamed loudly, "Come on, help! Young master, young master, you What's the matter? Quickly ask the doctor, help me!"

The old housekeeper's shrill shout cut through the silent night sky like a sharp knife, and there was movement in the other yards immediately, and countless figures flocked to him. Seeing the man lying on the bed with a gray face, they were so shocked that they didn't know what to do. good.

After all, a middle-aged man with the appearance of a counselor was quite calm, and he loudly ordered the many guards who rushed to the yard, "Go and invite the best doctors in the city. In addition, immediately seal off all the houses, check all the idlers, etc., and find Anyone with suspicious or missing sources should report immediately!"

"Yes, my lord!" A group of guards responded loudly, and immediately split up to act.Soon, five or six doctors in disheveled clothes were caught by the guards on their horses. Just as their feet fell to the ground, they were dragged into the room again before retching.As a result, the few people only glanced at the young man on the bed before tremblingly reporting, "This nobleman... I am afraid he has passed away."

"What?" Although everyone was prepared in their hearts, they still couldn't accept it.A very rough-looking lieutenant reached out and grabbed the doctor's collar and was about to shake his fist, "You old man is lying, the general drank with me during the day, why did he die suddenly? You must be refusing to rescue him! "

"My lord, spare me, spare my life!" The old doctor was so frightened that he couldn't care less, "This noble man has been poisoned by the Thousand Pearl Grass, it's definitely not the villain's business!"

It was the old housekeeper who was crying bitterly while hugging the general's body, and immediately picked up the flagon jug that had fallen by the bed and shouted, "Could it be that this wine is poisonous?"

The middle-aged counselor rushed forward to pick up the jug, sniffed it carefully for a while, and poured another drop to taste it. A look of understanding flashed in his eyes, but his face was still sad, and he sighed, "This wine It's really mixed with thousand pearl grass juice."

"Who, who killed the general?" The officer threw off the old doctor and pulled out the long knife at his side, his eyes were bloodshot, and everyone took two steps back in fright.When he was about to persuade him, another guard came to report, "I just inspected the people in the courtyard, and the handyman in charge of drinks in the kitchen disappeared, and a grimace totem was found under the bedding in his room."

"Could it be the remnants of Tie Le people?" Everyone screamed in surprise, and the old housekeeper burst into tears, "General, you just stepped down on Tie Le, but you didn't expect to be in Xijing soon, and you were killed by these bastards again. Why can't this old slave die in your place, wait a minute, general, this old slave is coming!"

The old butler was talking, he let go of the general's body and was about to hit the corner of the cabinet, he was naturally pulled away by the crowd, after all they persuaded him to discuss the general's funeral first, and reluctantly let him give up the idea of ​​burial.The middle-aged scholar took the lieutenant general and told him to lead troops throughout the city to search for the remnants of Tie Le. Finally, seeing the old housekeeper tremblingly changing his clothes, shoes and socks for the general, he found an excuse to leave the yard and returned to his temporary residence.

Sure enough, the people waiting there were running around in a hurry, and when they saw him coming back, they immediately stepped forward and asked, "What's going on?"

The middle-aged counselor bowed his head deeply, and when he looked up, his face was full of joy, "Congratulations, Your Highness, congratulations to Your Highness, now the serious trouble in my heart is gone, and from now on, the sea and the sky will be brighter, and great things can be expected."

Hearing this, the man suddenly showed ecstasy on his face, and his hands in his sleeves were trembling too much. He tried to lower his voice and asked, "Is he really dead?"

"Dead, the subordinate personally tested the breath and the wine. The remnants of the Tie Le people mixed the juice of Qianzhu grass in it. The general died without a sound, and there is no chance of survival."

"Haha, that's great, that's great." The man couldn't hold back anymore, raised his head and laughed, and finally sighed in a fake way, "Poor brother Yanjun, I just wanted to feel sorry for him after years of fighting, and wanted to give He ate some petrochemical powder and let him rest in bed for the rest of his life. Who would have thought that he would be so unlucky. It is said that there is a grievance and a debtor. He killed hundreds of thousands of Tiele people, and now he died of Tiele The hand of a person is also a debt repayment."

The middle-aged counselor lowered his head halfway, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help curling up in a contemptuous arc.It's not a hero's heart to get cheap, but Feng Liang's words are so smooth, but now that Xihao's country has been settled, if there is no accident, once the old prince passes away, this person will be the king of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.If he wanted to show what he had learned in half his life, he could only hug this man's thigh tightly.

Thinking like this, he lowered his head even lower, and persuaded, "At this time, the Lord should not stay here any longer, and go back to Xijing immediately. There are subordinates here to take care of us, so we will definitely not leave any clues."

"Okay, I don't worry about your business." The man reached out and patted the middle-aged counselor's shoulder, then put on the black face scarf again, opened the door and left.The middle-aged counselor was left standing at the door, listening to the cries in the courtyard not far away, his heart gradually filled with guilt.After a long time, he shook his head abruptly, and said in a harsh voice, "People don't kill themselves, General, don't blame your subordinates, let's go all the way."

The night wind blowing from nowhere, rolled up a few dead leaves to play in the corner of the yard. Hearing him talking to himself, he gave a contemptuous howl and ran away.The half-curved crescent moon in the sky also quickly disappeared into the clouds, unwilling to witness the tragedy of betrayal in this world. . .

"Wei'er, mother's Wei'er is getting up soon, there is something to do at home today, why are you so lazy?"

Ding Wei slept very soundly this time, and dimly heard someone whispering in her ear, so she stretched out her hand and pulled the quilt irritably and muttered, "I didn't sleep enough, I can't afford it!"

It's a pity that the man refused to compromise, he still patted her face with a smile, and coaxed her, "Good Wei'er, get up quickly. I'm going to your grandma's house today, you are a big girl, if you are lazy on the kang It's a joke to delay the journey. You also know that your aunt has a bad mouth, and if she says something nasty at that time, let's see how you can find a good husband's family in the future."
