happy day

Three days later, it was Pingxi King Jiang Xun's birthday.Wu Luan arrived as promised and found Yunjue's residence in Liuli Hutong.Today he was wearing a silver-blue brocade robe, a gold crown on his head, and a Pisces jade pendant on his waist.

Yun Jue lived in a neat and elegant small house, with a main room, two wing rooms, and a yard at the front and back. There were two locust trees in the yard, and a fish tank was placed under the tree, and some flowers and plants were planted.There is also a deaf-mute old man who helps to clean the yard and do some sundries.But from Wu Luan's point of view, Yun Jue was still wronged, he frowned and looked around, seeing that everything was not pleasing to the eye.

Zhuge Ri, who is proficient in disguise, also came with him, and brought his box containing his things.Wu Luan was afraid that someone at the birthday banquet would know Yun Jue, and because Yun Jue's face was too eye-catching, so Zhuge Ri asked Yun Jue to change his face, painted Yun Jue's complexion sallow, with flat eyebrows and drooping eyes as usual, and threw him on the ground. Can't find it in the crowd.

Wu Luan asked Yun Jue to change into the dark blue robes of the guards of the Hou Mansion and pretend to be his personal bodyguard, "I have wronged you. The Pingxi Palace has been heavily guarded since Jiang Xun was assassinated last time, and no one else is allowed to enter the mansion. You just need to dress up as me." Only my personal bodyguard can follow me."

Yun Jue naturally wished for it, and being with Wu Luan, the uncle of the country, meant being able to get as close as possible to Jiang Xun.So he respectfully said: "Uncle Guo is worrying too much, Yun Jue is very satisfied to have the opportunity to be by your side."

But Wu Luan heard something different.In fact, Yun Jue said similar things before to confuse Wu Luan, but Wu Luan was not emotional at that time, so he just listened to it and didn't take it seriously.But now it is different, Yun Jue's simple words made Wu Luan both sad and sweet.

The Pingxi Palace was full of guests, and most of the dignitaries in the capital came to celebrate Jiang Xun's birthday.Of course, there are some who don't buy Jiang Xun's account, such as Wu Luan's quasi-father-in-law Liu Yushi, who claims to be a clean and upright man.Because he couldn't understand Jiang Xun's way of being the emperor of the Northwest, he repeatedly wrote to revoke Jiang Xun's title of king with a different surname.Now that it's Jiang Xun's birthday, the Liu family will naturally not show up.

Wu Luan has a noble status and was let to the main hall.Jiang Xun went out to greet him personally, "Your Majesty's arrival really makes this king's palace flourish!"

"Where is there, I should have come to visit you a long time ago, but I was afraid of disturbing your Qingxiu. Today is the prince's fiftieth birthday. Even if there is no post from you, this Marquis would still come to ask for a glass of wine to reap your luck."

"I heard that the Holy Majesty asked Lord Hou to supervise the birthday banquet of this king. These days, this king is in a state of fear and fear, and has trouble sleeping and eating. What is Jiang's virtue and ability? I dare to trouble you."

"My lord, don't say that. In fact, I didn't do anything. It's not worth mentioning to find a few theater troupes and buy some fireworks to add to the fun. This Marquis has always admired you. It is Wu who has the opportunity to do my best. an honor."

"That's the way to say it. Anyway, old brother, I only want to thank you, brother, and I will have a few drinks with brother in a while to express my gratitude."

"Brother's birthday, my younger brother deserves it for his best efforts. You have to drink wine, and you must never take it as a thank you. Aren't you Zhesha brother..."

Jiang Xun no longer called Wu Luan a "little bastard" as he did in private, and Wu Luan no longer called Jiang Xun an "old bastard".The two walked arm in arm, chatted happily, and at the end they called each other brothers, exchanged polite greetings in a hypocritical manner, and then sat down.

Yun Jue saw that Wu Luan also had a decent manner when he talked about the scene, and in his deliberate sophistication, there was an innocence that was difficult for others to detect, as if a wayward child restrained his temper and pretended to be a good baby.It gets more and more interesting to watch.

At this moment, Yun stood behind Wu Luan without revealing the mountains and water, and secretly rejoiced after looking around.Today, the palace is especially heavily guarded, not only the palace's own guards, but also to ensure the safety of King Pingxi, the Holy Majesty even sent a team of imperial guards stationed in the capital to assist.Not to mention the hidden guards who were dressed in the clothes of ordinary guests and mixed in the crowd.Fortunately, he came with Wu Luan, otherwise even if he sneaked into the palace, he would not be within a hundred steps of Jiang Xun.

The birthday banquet began, and the delicious wine and dishes were served like water.The window in front of the main hall was opened, and "Eight Immortals Happy Birthday" was babbling outside, very lively.

Wu Luan drank until her cheeks were flushed, she hooked her shoulders with Jiang Xun, her eyes became a little blurred, she still didn't forget to take a crystal meat bun from the plate and slip it into Yun Jue's hand secretly.The childish behavior made Yun Jue dumbfounded.

While the wine was hot, it was already dark outside.The crowd surrounded Jiang Xun to an open space in the courtyard.

Wu Luan tugged Yunjue's sleeves and asked him to stand behind her, the best place to watch the fireworks.Yun Jue looked at Jiang Xun, who was only two feet away from him diagonally, with confidence.

The servants brought out boxes of fireworks and placed them in five rows on the ground.Jiang Xun laughed and patted Wu Luan on the shoulder, "Let my brother bother you."

With a "sudden" sound, a group of dazzling rays of light climbed upwards, and then "popped" a colorful, dazzling flower bloomed in the dark blue night, splitting into shining flowers amidst the exclamations of everyone. Spots of light, like jewels sliding down in the air.

Countless fireworks are blooming in the sky, and the sky is full of splendor and beauty.Among them, the tallest and brightest are Huoshuyinhua and Jinyumantang. One is like a waterfall of stars, and the other is like a stream of fire, illuminating the entire night sky.

Everyone was looking up at the radiant fireworks, only Wu Luan turned his head to look at Yun Jue's side face, which was flickering bright and dark in the reflection of the fireworks. Looking more and more happy.

Another Fire Tree Silver Flower flew into the sky, followed by a Golden Jade Mantang flying to the side of the Fire Tree Silver Flower. The two fireworks bloomed almost at the same time, and then turned into countless broken stars and fell.

Everyone clapped their hands and applauded. They were watching lively when they suddenly heard someone yelling, "It's not good, it's flooded!"

It turned out that the unburned sparks fell on the roof and treetops, and burned when they encountered wood.A few dozen steps away, a seven-storey pagoda built entirely of wood burst into flames instantly, but the wind was strong this night, and the fire spread to other houses with lightning speed.

All of a sudden, the crowd was in chaos, running and dodging.Hundreds of people pushed and crowded each other, and the scene was extremely chaotic. Some guards shouted: "Protect the prince!"

Although Yun Jue's eyes were on the fireworks, in fact he never left Jiang Xun from the corner of his eye.Just as the guard was shouting, he suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Jiang Xun.

When the guards pushed away the crowd and rushed to Jiang Xun, they saw Jiang Xun lying on his back on the ground with his eyes wide open, and died of exhaustion.An ebony chopstick inlaid with ivory used in the birthday banquet has been inserted deeply from the center of his eyebrows, only the inch-long tail of the chopsticks is exposed outside, as if a horn has grown from the center of the eyebrows, terrifying and weird.

Yun Jue retreated into the crowd, only to realize that Wu Luan was gone, and looked around in shock.By the light of the fire, I saw a silver-blue figure more than ten meters away, struggling to squeeze against the flow of people towards the direction of the fire.

Yun Jue pushed the crowd towards Wu Luan, but only five steps away from Wu Luan, he saw him being pushed down and disappeared under the crowd in an instant.Yun Jue didn't care about exposing himself, he used his internal force to shake away the people around him, rushed over and stretched out his long arms, and picked Wu Luan up from the ground.

Wu Luan was covered with shoe prints, her hair crown fell off, her hair fell loose, and her cheek was scratched, looking very embarrassed.

Yun Jue scolded angrily: "Are you crazy? Why run back?"

Wu Luan was trampled to the ground, looked up and saw Yun Jue, and hugged him, "I didn't see you when I ran there, only came back again."

Yun Jue's heart trembled, and a soreness spread from his chest to his whole body.He stretched out his arms to hug Wu Luan back, protecting him in his arms.But Wu Luan was dishonest and insisted on wrapping his arm around Yun Jue's shoulder and protecting his head with the other.The two hugged each other and squeezed out of the crowd in this strange posture that seemed to be wrestling together, and hid behind the rockery in the yard.

Relying on the large number of guards and the help of the imperial guards, although the fire was huge, it was quickly extinguished.King Pingxi was assassinated and died at his birthday banquet, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice had to block the residence of Prince Pingxi to interrogate the guests.

Wu Luan firmly insisted that Yun Jue was her personal bodyguard and was always by her side.It was Qin Zheng who interrogated Wu Luan, so he naturally turned to him, and Wu Luan was the only brother-in-law of the Holy One, so the Ministry of Criminal Justice let them go without talking nonsense.

That night, Yun Jue returned to the small courtyard he rented, took out a piece of wood from the gap in the bed, and scratched it with a dagger.

No.90 is six.Since his debut three years ago, he has killed 96 people.The initial tasks were very simple, and it was easy for Yun Jue.In the past year, the tasks have become more and more difficult and time-consuming.For example, if he hadn't had Wu Luan's relationship with Jiang Xun in the assassination of Pingxi King, Yun Jue would not have been able to succeed in the assassination.

The red line on the right arm has faded.Now that he has completed the assassination mission, the poison is temporarily dormant, waiting for the next mission call.Yun Jue heaved a sigh of relief, even though he was not afraid of death, he was unwilling to try the onset of Gu poison, so he might as well kill himself one day.

He stretched out his hand and looked at his white and clean palm, as if seeing blood dripping from his hand, he was so disgusted that he wanted to chop off his hand.But he didn't retreat.

According to the rules of Drizzle Pavilion, one can be promoted to hall master after completing one hundred missions, that is, killing a hundred people.The hall master can lead a party and has the right to choose his subordinates.In that way, he can bring his younger sister, Ru Ru, under his command to take care of him.

He is running out of time, and Ruo Ru will debut in less than half a year.He has to complete a hundred missions before Yao Ru leaves the mountain, and he will never let his sister fall into the same situation as him.If he can further help Yaoru escape from Xiaoyu Pavilion, even if he is allowed to die, he is willing to do so.
