Chapter 48 Reaching the First Line

In the early morning sunlight, against the light, a simple and elegant carriage was slowly brought in. The wheels made a 'clack' sound on the road paved with bluestone slabs. Down.

The gate tower is tall and solemn, with guards holding tasseled guns standing beside the gate, and the two stone lions in front of the gate are even more mighty. This is the Duanwang Mansion.

After the carriage stopped, a woman in white clothes came out from the inside. Her face was wrapped in a light veil, and she held a thin sword in her hand. She got off the carriage and looked up at the plaque hanging on the tall and solemn gate. .

I held my breath and watched for a long time before slowly exhaling. Now that I have taken this step, I can only continue walking.

She looked at the building inside the gate, started to approach the door, took out a greeting card from her body, and said to the guard at the gate: "Please go in and announce that it is the daughter of the Mu family from Zuoxiang's mansion." ask to see!"

The person who came was Niangui. After she went back that day, she thought carefully about Yingqi's proposal. She had to admit that this was the fastest and most effective way for her to get revenge, so she thought about it for a long time. Finally, came to Duanwangfu.

The guard took a look at the greeting card, and immediately respectfully asked her to wait for a while, then hurried in to report, and after a while, he saw him leading a man in guard uniform with a long knife on his waist.

The man came to her and bowed with both hands clasped, "I am Xia Jian, the personal guard of the palace, please come with me, girl!" After speaking, he led his arms towards the mansion, and walked in front to lead her the way.

After Niangui nodded lightly, she followed him into the mansion, seeing that the person who came to pick her up was Prince Duan's personal guard, she knew that it was Prince Duan that she was going to meet now, so she just followed silently.

She had only met Xia Zhi once, and was almost slashed by his palm. Apart from the impression of his extraordinary demeanor and ruthless strikes, she didn't know much about him. , she is willing to trust him and cooperate with him!

Xia Jian led her outside Bowenzhai, and made a gesture of inviting her in: "Miss, please! My prince has been waiting for a long time!"

Niangui said a word of thanks in a low voice and entered the room, he saw Xia Zhizheng sitting in front of the desk in a python robe, it seemed that he had just returned from court and had to change into casual clothes in a hurry.

Seeing Nian Gui come in to salute, he said in a deep voice: "Excuse me! Sit down and talk!" Then he said to Zhang Xiu who was waiting on the side: "Zhang Xiu is serving tea for Miss Mu!"

After hearing this, Zhang Xiu immediately said that he had stepped forward to pour a cup of tea for Nian Gui.

Nian Guiyiyan sat down, put the Liucai sword on the table, lifted the veil from her face, took the tea that Zhang Xiu brought her, thanked her in a low voice, and took a shallow sip.

I heard Xia Zhi say: "Since you have come to this king, you have made a decision in your heart, and you are willing to be loyal to this king and do things for this king!"

After hearing this, she squeezed her palms, then stood up and made obeisance with both hands, and said determinedly: "As long as the prince is dealing with the Duke Protector's Mansion, let me go and deal with it, and kill the enemy with my hands! After Mu Niangui, he will be sent!" This is her only condition!This requirement is also reasonable.

So Xia Zhi said, "What's so difficult about this!"

Nian Gui felt relieved after hearing this, and said gratefully: "If you read it like this, I will thank the lord first!"

This is how they reached a consensus!
"You also know the previous situation. Your father was murdered and silenced by them because he knew a secret about the Duke Protector's Mansion. How much do you know about your father's past!" Xia Zhi asked.

He had a premonition that this secret that the Protector's Palace tried its best to cover up would be a breakthrough against the Wan Family!
Niangui recalled carefully, but she was too young to remember the difference between her father at that time.

After a long time, she still shook her head and said: "I can't think of it! It's been too long, I just remember that before we left Ningzhou, our family of three went to the Duke Huguo's Mansion once. At that time, our two families often walked around. You should also Clearly, the wife in the second room of Duke Protector's Mansion is my aunt!"

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth with hatred. At the beginning, she came to the capital alone, and she was unfamiliar with the place. She wanted to go to the Duke Hu's mansion to see her aunt, whom she hadn't seen for many years. Treat enemies like family members!
Before leaving, I have been to the Palace of the Protector of the Country!It seems that it was at this time that he heard or saw something that he shouldn't know that caused the murder!
Xia Zhi thought so, so he asked: "Did your father say anything strange before he died, or who did he mention?"

Nian Gui still frowned, shook his head and said, "That's not true! Everything was too sudden at that time. I messed up my father's calligraphy and painting. I was afraid of being blamed by my father, so I hid it in the cabinet. I didn't know that a group of people would come in later." When I entered the mansion, I couldn’t help but kill everyone I saw. I hurriedly wanted to come out, but my mother locked me back after seeing everyone. After they killed everyone, they reported to the leader and told Mr. Guo that we all It’s done, remember to pay the other half of the money! Then I led the people away, and the leader followed behind, and I just slipped through the net!”

She clenched her fists fiercely, as if concentrating all her strength in her hands, only in this way could she forcefully suppress the hostility in her heart.

Now thinking of the scene at that time, I just feel that it is happening again in front of my eyes, with blood in my eyes, if she can't take revenge, she will simply have trouble sleeping and eating!
Xia Zhi frowned slightly, and the clue was broken again. It's like a hungry person looking for something to eat and seeing a table of sumptuous dishes in front of him. You want to eat but suffer from lack of tableware.

This is more reconciled than nothing, he thought for a while and said: "Now I have a plan, but this is too risky for the girl!"

"It doesn't matter! As long as I can get revenge, I can do anything!" Nian Gui replied immediately.

Xia Zhi stared at her, and said seriously: "Now we know that your father didn't leave any evidence, but! They don't know!"

After finishing speaking, he picked up the teacup, lowered his head and took a sip, waiting for Niangui to figure it out. If an orphan of the Mu family suddenly appeared, I don't know how they would react. exposed.

Niangui lowered his head and pondered for a moment, a flash of light flashed in his heart, his eyes were burning, he looked up at him and said: "What does the prince mean!"

Xia Zhi nodded with a faint smile, agreeing with her idea!Nian Gui smiled and said: "This plan is very clever! I will act according to the plan after I go back!"

"Be careful yourself! Just in case of accidents! This is the badge of the palace. If you have anything to do, you can come to the palace to find me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Xiu took out a square card from his body and handed it to her.Niangui took the square card and thanked him, then he heard Xia Zhi say: "It's getting late! Go to the back house to see Jiuyuan!"

He stopped here, then continued with a serious tone: "You should know! What to say and what not to say!"

Niangui immediately said: "Niangui understands!"

"Okay! You go!" Xia Zhi waved her to let her go down.After Niangui saluted, he withdrew.
