Chapter 95 Scared Li Hong's Soul

Chapter 103 Scared Li Hong's Soul
Xiao Shisanlang breathed a sigh of relief, and stared deeply at Zhang Xuan, "As the so-called princes and generals, would you rather have kindness? My brother really has a lot of ambition... In this case, I will risk my life for my brother in this life. Give your brother a helping hand."

Zhang Xuan's divine light was bright, and when he met Xiao Shisanlang's eyes, he smiled lightly after a long time, "Brother, you and I are brothers and sisters, and we will never hide our brother's words. But these, after all, are just between you and me." It's just chatting... As far as I'm concerned, I still need to help Prince Li Heng secure the position of crown prince first, and then we'll talk after passing this hurdle."

"Brother, the overall situation is settled now... I can't help you with the matter above the court, and you need to be careful. Remember what you said as a brother, the emperor's family doesn't care about affection. We still have to beware of the result of the bird's exhaustion, the rabbit's death and the dog's cooking."

Hearing Xiao Shisanlang's words, Zhang Xuan smiled slightly, "Brother, it's not the time for all the birds to hide their bows yet. And Prince Li Heng, it's not yet ready to kill the donkey. From the beginning, I expected that, This Rong Wang Li Wan will never sit still and wait for death, if my prediction is correct, he will definitely take the risk... The chaos in Chang'an City has only just begun."

"I came back from the dead suddenly—a stone that further disturbed this muddy water."

A trace of coldness flashed in Zhang Xuan's eyes.He actually only said half of what he said next. Recently, he secretly pushed to help Li Heng stabilize the situation. In fact, on the other hand, he was trying to lure the snake out of the hole, laying a deep trap, and luring King Rong to jump into it step by step.

Zhang Xuan is not a sage and gentleman. All his plans for traveling through life are based on the premise of protecting himself and his family. King Rong and Li Wan have murdered him. After this, the conflict is irreconcilable. For Xuan and the Zhang family, sooner or later it will be a huge hidden danger.

That being the case, Zhang Xuan made a decisive decision—for Li Wan's counterattack, if he didn't move, he would be killed, and if he moved, he would be killed with one move, so that Li Wan would not have any chance to fight back or regain his breath.

Xiao Shisanlang was startled, but did not continue to ask.

In fact, Xiao Shisanlang didn't care about these imperial power struggles, all he cared about was the safety of his brother Zhang Xuan.As for what Zhang Xuan did, he didn't want to know, and he didn't think it was necessary to ask too much.

Not long after, Li Susu walked into the living room with some wine and dishes, and then came out to greet the two people who were still standing in the courtyard and talking in the cold wind, "Thirteen Lang, brother Xuan, come in and have a glass of wine to warm up. It's over." , it's time for us to accompany brother back home."

……

……

Zhang House.

In the past two days, the crowd of condolences has gradually thinned out.But there are still people coming one after another. Scholars from all over the world who will come to Beijing to participate in the Spring Festival next year, and those who have heard of Zhang Xuan's reputation will still come to worship.

Cui Ying and Ruyan Ruyu basically stayed in the coffin shed day and night.It's freezing cold, and the temperature in Chang'an City this winter is quite low. Liu Shi, Zhang Huan, Zhang Ning and others were worried that Cui Ying's body would not be able to hold on, so they tried to persuade her to go back to her room to rest, but Cui Ying was stubborn and refused to leave. go.

Mrs. Liu had no choice but to endure her grief and order her servants to set up several braziers in the coffin to keep warm for Cui Ying and the three daughters.

Because Cui Ying is obsessed with guarding the spirit, the two elder brothers Zhang Huan and Zhang Ning can only stay with each other during the day, and it is inconvenient to stay at night.

Three quarters in the afternoon.

Zhang Ning walked into the coffin shed slowly, and saw Cui Ying kneeling there with a pale face without a trace of blood, knowing that she had been staying here for two days and nights without sleep, even crying became hoarse, and her body was on the verge of collapse.

Can't help but walked over worriedly, leaned over and said softly, "Sister and sister, listen to second brother's persuasion, go back to the room to rest for a while, can you come again? Brother and sister don't love themselves so much, third brother will not feel at ease under the nine springs."

The corners of Cui Ying's mouth twitched, her dry and pale lips trembled, but she didn't reply.

Zhang Ning couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

When Zhang Xuan was alive, Zhang Ning's attitude towards Zhang Xuan was not very friendly, but Zhang Xuan suddenly disappeared. Zhang Ning felt empty these days, and reflected on himself day by day under grief. If you are too harsh, your heart will become more and more depressed, sad and regretful.

Suddenly, Zhang Li hurried in to report: "Second son, third wife, His Royal Highness Li Hong, the king of Siyang County, and Xiao Fu, son of Xiao Consort, came to pay homage to the third son."

Zhang Ning was startled, and was about to inform his elder brothers Zhang Huan and Liu Shi, when he saw that Li Hong and Xiao Fu had already floated into the coffin.

"His Royal Highness, Mr. Xiao." Zhang Ning went up to meet him.

Xiao Fu's expression was a little complicated.Although he was jealous of Zhang Xuan's talent and learning over his own body and won Cui Ying's heart, he was a literati after all. Dao dies young, and the heart is also sad.

Xiao Fu glanced over and saw Cui Ying kneeling on the widow's place with a haggard appearance and a sad expression, he couldn't help feeling heartbroken and sad.

He walked over directly, bowed deeply to Zhang Xuan's spiritual seat, then bowed his hands to Cui Ying, and said softly, "Miss Cui—the third wife, Zi Zhanying passed away young, please express your condolences and take care of yourself! "

"Thank you." Cui Ying leaned over and returned the salute.

Xiao Fu let out a long sigh, couldn't bear to see Cui Ying's sad and hopeless appearance any longer, and immediately turned around and went back the way he came.

Li Hong and Zhang Ning hurriedly greeted each other, then walked up to Zhang Xuan's coffin, hastily cupped their hands in condolences, and then leaned over to Cui Ying and sighed, "Miss Cui, since Zhang Xuan has passed away Why do you want to spoil yourself so much, Miss? It's freezing cold, Miss still needs to take care of her health."

Cui Ying glanced at Li Hong in disgust, but now she is exhausted both mentally and physically, and she is almost at the point of exhaustion, she said weakly, "Cui Ying has married into the Zhang family, and is no longer a The daughter of the Cui family is gone, she is the widow of the deceased husband, the third wife of the Zhang family. Please change your title, Your Highness."

"Miss Cui is pure and innocent, she is just young, so why bother..." Li Honggang wanted to continue persuading, but Cui Ying suddenly said hoarsely, "Your Highness, please respect yourself!"

"If His Highness the Prince of the County came to mourn the deceased husband, Cui Ying would be grateful on behalf of the late husband. If not, please leave quickly!"

Cui Ying's voice was cold and high-pitched, Xiao Fu stopped and frowned secretly.

I thought to myself, Li Hong, you are really not interested, no matter how much you covet Cui Ying, you have to see if the occasion is right.This is Zhang Xuan's mourning hall. If you desecrate the family members of the deceased in the mourning hall, aren't you just asking for trouble?
Li Hong was also a young man at heart, and felt that he was showing kindness and sympathy, but was "choked" by Cui Ying, and immediately got up a little annoyed, and was about to leave in a huff.

Cui Ying and Zhang Xuan fall in love with each other, and Li Hongben has given up.Princess Yuzhen, the emperor and the imperial concubine were in charge of the marriage of these two people. This marriage was no longer something that he, a not-so-popular emperor's grandson, could break up.

But news of Zhang Xuan's death suddenly came out.This made Li Hong's mind active again. Although Cui Ying married into Zhang's family, she showed her attitude of life and death, shocked the whole Chang'an, and was passed down as a good story; If everyone agrees, maybe they will marry Cui Ying.

At any rate, I am also a noble person, the grandson of His Majesty the current emperor, His Highness the majesty of the county - Cui Ying married herself as a princess, how could it not be as good as being a widow in the Zhang family?

He admitted that Zhang Xuan was a wit, but no matter how great a wit is, he is now a dead ghost. With his grand grandson, can he not be compared to a dead ghost?
So Li Hong came.Obviously it was condolences, but in fact it was to visit Cui Ying.On the way, I met Xiao Fu and came together.

……

……

"His Royal Highness, please go ahead." Zhang Ning suppressed the anger in his chest. Li Hong dared to blaspheme Cui Ying in the coffin, which was disrespectful and greatly lost the dignity of the royal family.

If it wasn't for the consideration of Li Hong's status as a direct descendant of the royal family, and also because he was unwilling to cause trouble in front of the third brother's spiritual seat and disturb the third brother's rest, Zhang Ning's temper would definitely explode.

Seeing that Zhang Ning wanted to expel him, Li Hong was ashamed and angry. He looked at Zhang Ning coldly and sneered, "My king came to mourn Zhang Xuan. What kind of attitude is this? It's unreasonable!"

"Your Highness, please respect yourself." Zhang Ning gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

Li Hong snorted, and was about to reprimand when he heard a gloomy and cold voice from outside the coffin shed: "Son Li Hong, you are the emperor's grandson, but you are so ignorant and shameless, you really shame the royal family! You bastard, get out quickly! If you don't get out, a certain family will kick you out!"

Li Hong was shocked suddenly, and his face suddenly turned pale.Li Hong looked around subconsciously, seeing that the coffin shed was filled with cloudy air and the cold wind was blowing, and there was no one there, and a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead immediately.

Xiao Fu's shoulders trembled in shock when he heard the words, the voice was so clearly recognizable...it was clearly...it was clearly that Zhang Xuan's voice!Could it be that seeing Li Hong's rudeness and ghostly spirit, he—couldn't come here to take revenge?

"You bastard, get out!" There was another cold reprimand, as if from Jiuyou.

Li Hong was terrified all of a sudden, his legs trembled, and he wanted to run away, but he couldn't move, and collapsed on the spot.

Zhang Ning couldn't believe his ears, trembling in his heart, he turned around suddenly and looked at the door of the coffin shed.

"Zizhan, is it really you? You have a spirit in the spring, just wait for Yinger a moment!" Cui Ying was trembling all over, crying with tears streaming down her face.

"My lord!" Cui Ying wailed, and the two girls Ruyan and Ruyu also fell to the ground crying.

"Hey..." There was another faint long sigh in the coffin shed.

"Damn—don't do my business, I have good intentions, don't do my business, I really don't want to be my business..." Li Hong's face was ashen, and he collapsed on the ground with cold sweat, his legs twitched suddenly, and he was so frightened that he immediately Passed out.

And the crotch was wet, as if he peed in his pants in fear.
