Chen Zhibao said with a blank face: "The generals in the army, the one I despise the most is Chu Lushan. I said earlier that one day I will light this man's sky lantern."

"If you really want to kill him, I can do it for you. The problem is..."

Speaking of this, Chen Zhibao paused, with a playful look on his face, and continued: "Do you really want to kill?"

The faint smile on Xu Fengnian's face gradually disappeared, and he stared at Chen Zhibao fixedly without speaking.

Seeing this, Chen Zhibao raised his hand and threw the bloody cloth bag at Xu Fengnian's feet.

His action was full of provocation, and the atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly became extremely calm.

Xu Fengnian sat upright, looked at the cloth bag on the ground, frowned and said, "What is it?"

Chen Zhibao said without changing his expression: "Ren Tou, this is the person who passed your portrait out and arranged for the assassins to enter the Zijin Building."

Xu Fengnian's cheeks twitched, and he asked in a deep voice, "Who is this person?"

Chen Zhibao said: "Lieutenant Colonel, you don't know him."

Xu Fengnian's face became colder, he looked at Chen Zhibao and said, "Is it just a captain who handles such a big matter?"

Chen Zhibao didn't answer his words, but turned to look at Chu Lushan on the ground beside him, with an inexplicable smile on his face, and said, "It's interesting to think about it..."

"All the generals in Beiliang, only this son is the most cruel and absurd, but it is such a devil who is the most loyal to you."

Xu Fengnian's expression changed slightly, and his eyes sank completely.

Only Chen Zhibao continued: "I guess this whip is for the 35 Beiliang soldiers."

"In this way, if someone really wants to harm you, the first one who wants to win over is the resentful Chu Lushan."

"And you are also waiting. The one who is willing to save him at this time may be the real culprit who plotted to kill you behind the scenes."

Chu Lushan, who seemed to have passed out on the ground, with his eyes closed, opened them suddenly.

Xu Fengnian stared at Chen Zhibao, and said in a concentrated voice: "It's such a coincidence, you're here."

Chen Zhibao ignored him, still looked at Chu Lushan, and said to himself, "It's hard for him to suffer for you if you beat him hard enough."

Chu Lushan clenched his fists tightly, and his heart was full of unwillingness. He didn't expect that Chen Zhibao would see through all his plans. His beating was nothing.

None of the people present were fools, and the captain whose head was beheaded by Chen Zhibao must not be the real culprit.

Chen Zhibao didn't come to rescue Chu Lushan today, nor did he come to provoke Xu Fengnian, but to calm down the matter.

Because allowing Xu Fengnian and Chu Lushan's plan to go ahead would very likely cause civil strife in Beiliang, which he would never allow.

After Chen Zhibao explained everything, he looked at the ugly Xu Fengnian again, and said, "Let's talk alone."

The situation set up by Xu Fengnian and Chu Lushan was wiped out by Chen Zhibao's head, there is no need to continue, otherwise it would just be a joke.

Xu Fengnian got up without saying a word, looked at the blue bird and pointed to Chu Lushan.

Qingniao nodded to express understanding, and Li Fei also came over on his own initiative.

Xu Fengnian and Chen Zhibao went to a secluded place, while Li Fei squatted beside Chu Lushan and helped him up.

Chu Lushan said with a bit of anger in his dejection: "This plan is for nothing, damn Chen Zhibao, you still want to light my sky lantern, you wait for me, hiss..."

As soon as he became ruthless, he immediately touched the wound on his back, causing him to gasp in pain, and the fat on his face trembled uncontrollably.

Li Fei helped him go to the wing room, while Qingniao went back to get the wound medicine.

After listening to his words, Li Fei comforted: "It's not in vain, after all, it played some role."

Chu Lushan asked in puzzlement, "What effect?"

Li Fei shook his head and said, "I can't say a few words clearly, you just wait and see what happens, don't think too much, and heal your injury first."

After helping Chu Lushan to the wing room next to his residence, Li Fei went back to his room to fetch the guqin.

Chu Lushan took off his clothes and lay on the bed, revealing his bloody back. Qingniao was standing by the bed holding a tray of medicine, and a maid was giving Chu Lushan medicine.

He was gritting his teeth and enduring the severe pain like a burning fire, when he saw Li Fei coming with the guqin in his arms, he grinned and said, "Alright, listening to the guqin can divert your attention, it doesn't hurt so much, brother has a heart."

Li Fei smiled and said, "The piano I play can not only divert attention."

"Oh?"

Li Fei put the guqin on the table, sat down on his knees, and put his hands on the strings.

Outside the courtyard, sweet potatoes who had just returned and Nangong Pushe who had not moved, could only hear the soft sound of the piano in the wing room.

The qin music that Li Fei played at this time was so soft, it was like a person sighing softly, or like the morning dew moistening the petals, and the morning breeze gently blowing the willow twigs.

Those who heard the sound of the piano felt that their minds were cleared, and all kinds of distracting thoughts gradually faded away, and their minds became ethereal and clear.

Both Nangong Pushe and Sweet Potato couldn't help closing their eyes, listening to the wonderful sound of the piano quietly, and the blue bird in the wing room did the same.

However, Chu Lushan felt that there was a clear spring flowing slowly over his body, and the burning pain on his back subsided a lot, allowing him to breathe out a long sigh of relief.

Only then did he understand that Li Fei didn't want to play the piano for him to divert his attention, but that the sound of the piano had the effect of relieving pain and healing, and he couldn't help being surprised and grateful.

He could clearly feel that the clear spring flowed through his whole body, and then slowly poured into his limbs.

For a moment, Chu Lushan only felt that his whole body was light and light, and there was no place to focus on. His whole body seemed to be floating on the clouds, and he was extremely comfortable on top of the cotton-like white clouds.

Chu Lushan relaxed completely, and fell asleep after a while.

The maid who applied the medicine to him listened to the sound of the piano, her spirit became more focused and her movements became more skillful. After applying the medicine, she bandaged him with cotton cloth, which was fast and good.

After about a quarter of an hour, the sound of the piano became lower and lower, and finally became inaudible.

Nangong Pushe, Sweet Potato, and Blue Bird opened their eyes one after another, and there was a flash of joy in their eyes.

In just a few moments of listening to the piano, they had a lot of insights into their own martial arts, and some of the previously obscure things suddenly became clear.

In this short period of time, their martial arts attainments have all improved.

Nangong Pushe murmured in a daze: "Is this the Qingxin Pushan song? It is really wonderful, if I can listen to it a few more times..."

Sweet potato's eyes flashed when he heard the words, and he went to the wing room thoughtfully.

Nangong Pushe looked at her back, a look of fear flashed in his eyes.

Just now when Sweet Potato closed her eyes and felt comprehension, she inadvertently performed the exercises, which made her aware of it.

The maids in Wutong Garden are not simple!

[263.Chapter 12 See through but not tell through]

To the west of Wutong Garden, in a secluded place near the courtyard wall, Xu Fengnian walked slowly side by side with Chen Zhibao with his hands behind his back.

"Everyone says that you, Chen Zhibao, should inherit Beiliang. In contrast, many people in my family take it as a joke. What do you think?"

When Xu Fengnian opened his mouth, he was full of heart-breaking words, even with Chen Zhibao's spirit, he did not dare to take it rashly.

After a few breaths, no response from Chen Zhibao, a smirk appeared on Xu Fengnian's face.

He stopped in his tracks, turned around and looked at Chen Zhibao, teasingly said: "Didn't you want to talk to me alone? Why are you speechless?"

Chen Zhibao also stopped in his tracks, but without looking at him, he skipped the subject and said, "Did the oiran ask?"

Xu Fengnian said: "I was raised in the mansion with good food and drink since I was a child, and I practice sword dancing every day, just to stab me with that sword."

"As for who is raising her, she doesn't know herself, so she sent it here."

Chen Zhibao said calmly: "Kill it!"

Xu Fengnian jokingly said: "Don't, she's quite beautiful, if you don't believe me, go and have a look, maybe you'll like it."

Hearing this, Chen Zhibao finally turned his head to look at him, and said calmly: "Assassination outside the city, Zijinlou sword dance, just to make you suspect that there are enemies hidden in the army."

"You have fallen into a trap by using Chu Lushan to investigate the traitor. If you become suspicious, the morale of the army will be disturbed."

"Kill the oiran, add the captain's head, and the matter will be settled."

"It's over?" As soon as he mentioned the captain whose head was beheaded by Chen Zhibao, Xu Fengnian felt faintly angry, "So we don't want to investigate?"

Chen Zhibao said in a deep voice: "We need to investigate, but on the surface it has been counted."

Xu Fengnian said with an ugly face: "So the captain wasn't the culprit, but you chopped off his head just to make it look good?"

Chen Zhibao said: "He violated the military law, and it has long been a capital crime."

Xu Fengnian said: "It's been a capital crime for a long time, and you just died now, just for a settlement, how many such 'conclusions' have you hidden?"

Chen Zhibao turned his head away again, and said slowly: "Internal and external troubles, the three states of Beiliang... can't be chaotic."

Xu Fengnian sneered, "So you, Chen Zhibao, are Beiliang's Dinghaishenzhen."

Another heartbreaking remark, but this time Chen Zhibao didn't retreat, but said in a concentrated voice: "That's right, I am."

Xu Fengnian froze, watching his eyes flicker, a gloom rose from his heart.

After pondering for a while, he suddenly spread his hands, looked at Chen Zhibao with a provocative face, and said: "I just said, this oiran is beautiful, I don't want to kill him, what should I do?"

This is Xu Fengnian's trump card. If he can't say it, he's going to be a rascal. Anyway, his character is a dude, and he can be an asshole.

Now he turned into Chen Zhibao with a depressed heart, his chest rose and fell rapidly, and his eyes gradually became sharper looking at Xu Fengnian.

"click"

At this moment, a crisp sound suddenly sounded from the corner beside it, as if a dry branch was accidentally trampled off.

Xu Fengnian squinted his eyes and glanced around the corner.

The sharpness in Chen Zhibao's eyes quickly subsided, and the stagnant atmosphere in the field eased.

He looked at Xu Fengnian without squinting and said, "I know it's not easy for you to hide your edge, but I still look down on you."

Xu Fengnian said without changing his face: "I know."

Chen Zhibao said: "Even if thousands of mountains and seas are overturned, I will go there alone. If I don't have such courage, how can I catch Beiliang?"

Xu Fengnian said disdainfully: "Who said I'm going to pick up Beiliang?"

Hearing this, Chen Zhibao's cheeks moved slightly, as if he gritted his teeth.

What he cherished was so dismissed by others, he really wanted to punch that hateful face hard.

Chen Zhibao took a deep look at him, then turned around and left without saying another word, he was afraid that he couldn't help but make a move.

Xu Fengnian looked at his back, and said another heartbreaking sentence: "If one day Xu Xiao is not here, Beiliang will be in chaos, do you think about replacing him?"

Chen Zhi said decisively without turning her head, "I'm here, so Beiliang won't be in chaos."

Xu Fengnian's breathing was stagnant, damn it, he pretended it.

After Chen Zhibao's figure disappeared at the end, Xu Fengnian turned around and looked around the corner, saying, "Come out!"

At the corner, Jiang Ni, who was probing his head, came out, with a happy smile on his face, raised his head in the direction where Chen Zhibao left, and teased: "Look, I don't like you."

"Thank you." Xu Fengnian ignored her arrogance and thanked her instead.

Jiang Ni closed her smile, frowned slightly, and said, "What do you mean?"

Xu Fengnian said: "In the atmosphere just now, you were afraid that he would make a move, so you made some noise on purpose? Don't worry, he won't make a move."

A flash of panic flashed in Jiang Ni's eyes, and she said with a gesticulating mouth: "You are talking nonsense, I was not careful, he...he should do it! I can still make you up."

Xu Fengnian rolled his eyes, Shi Shiran said: "I heard that the books are being posted today? Where are the books?"

Jiang Ni's expression changed, she turned around and ran away.

Xu Fengnian looked at her back with a gentle smile on his face.

Jiang Ni has been looking for opportunities to assassinate Xu Fengnian since she was a child, but she never succeeded.

Xu Fengnian made a rule that every time the assassination failed, she would be fined a sum of money, and if she couldn't pay, she would have to pay with her flesh.

So she started to save money desperately, as if she loved money like her life, even if it was three melons and two dates, she would not let it go.

If Xu Fengnian wants her to do something she doesn't want to do, all he needs to do is give her a few pennies and five pennies, and he can control her to death.

But Xu Fengnian actually knew everything. Jiang Ni's continuous assassination of him was actually to train his vigilance, make him used to being assassinated, and develop a temperament to be vigilant at all times.

In this way, when the real assassination came, he would have a better chance of surviving.

Jiang Ni was the subjugated princess of the Chu State. Xu Xiao led the army to destroy the Chu State, killed his father and king in front of her, and forced her mother and all the harem concubines to commit suicide. She should have been at odds with the Xu family.

But she couldn't hate Xu Xiao at all.

Because Xu Xiao's destruction of Chu was a national war, even if she wanted to hate, she should hate the Liyang royal family, not Xu Xiao who was following orders.

When all the armies from Liyang attacked Chu, Xu Xiao was the first to break into the city, and then he directly closed the city gate.
