A single tree becomes a banyan
Chapter 27 Wrong
The room was in a mess, the three of them sat down to eat quietly, because it might be the last meal at Xishan, Su Rong ate very slowly, and because she was thinking about things, she ate even more slowly.
Why did the Zhong family send someone to assassinate him?Why did Zhong Li fake his own death?Murong Xing told Ru Yuan and Lu Nuo to protect him, and how did he learn that he was about to be assassinated?If he can win tonight, where will he escape tomorrow?Where can I escape?
Under the whole world, could it be the king's land...
After the meal, Lu Nuo reluctantly put down his chopsticks, his eyes touched the tea cup that Su Rong pushed in front of him, and his interest was attracted again.
"The mist disappears? The third lady will enjoy it." From the corner of her eyes, Lu Nuo caught a glimpse of Ru Yuan who was still lowering her head to eat, holding a teacup, "Yunwu tea is hard to come by, I don't know how to drink it now, and I don't deserve to drink it in the future."
"I drink." Ruyuan put down the bowl and chopsticks, and smiled disdainfully.
"There's wine in the cellar." Su Rong turned her head to signal Ru Yuan and Lu Nuo, "You help her bring it out together."
Ru Yuan and Lu Nuo didn't move, Su Rong looked up at the two of them, and asked in a daze, "What's wrong?"
Ru Yuan was puzzled: "Aren't you a non-drinker?"
Lu Nuo was curious: "Why are you not in a hurry?"
"Of course I don't want to drink it, but..." The two people on the opposite side looked at each other, Su Rong put down the teacup in his hand, propped himself up and smiled: "There is wine in the room, no one dares to die with me.
"Miss San, burning jade and stone together is not a good strategy... what?"
Su Rong raised her hand to interrupt Lu Nuo, just because she suddenly saw Ru Yuan lifting her skirt, Lu Nuo also noticed that she stopped talking, before the two could react, Ru Yuan knelt down and saluted.
Ruyuan once wanted to go her own way because of revenge, and she was dissatisfied with Queen Su, so she found a reason why Ruyuan couldn't grind, and drove her away from the palace. It is a blessing to have a life back.
"There are so many dramas when death is imminent." Lu Nuo muttered softly.
Su Rong didn't know what Ru Yuan was thinking, she got up in a hurry, and asked doubtfully, "Why for no reason?"
"After Ruyuan thanked Su, she killed Emperor Xin..." Ruyuan raised her head with a calm expression, "Avenge Ruyuan's parents."
"You don't hate me?"
Not being able to slay enemies with her hands would probably be Ru Yuan's lifelong regret.Ruyuan Ruyuan was wronged, frustrated, had nowhere to go and resented, but the facts proved that Su Rong was right.
"Ruyuan is impulsive and disregards the overall situation for her own selfishness. I know I am wrong."
Su Rong didn't expect Ruyuan to admit her affection, because she originally had her own selfishness in it.This kind of person who wants to become a hero just because of his solitary courage has failed too much, and she has seen too much, so she is not afraid.But today I found out that although Ruyuan is brave and foolhardy, she corrects her mistakes when she knows her mistakes, Su Rong is a little scared.
"Get up quickly."
As if the kite was so angry that she seemed to have something to say, she said to Su Rong: "It's a pity that the assassination failed, but it's enough to show filial piety. It's a pity that it's useless for me to convince myself. The Ji family wants to get rid of me. I live on the streets , accidentally discovered that there was a storyteller telling my story. The people onlookers admired my courage, once told ten, ten told a hundred, and in just a few days, the world called me the number one female assassin in the world, and even more looked forward to my once again To assassinate.
At that time, assassins were caught everywhere, and I was hiding all day long. Storytellers fabricated me into a stunning woman, but they didn't know that I could blend in the crowd with an ordinary face.It took more than half a month to escape like this, until I was captured by the Su family one night, and then I knew that your Su family was originally... Cough, guarding the blood of Emperor Gusu Murong.
Su Hu forced me to join the Murong Sect, and I reluctantly agreed to save my life.Later, Su Hu was promoted to the county king, and the second young lady of the Ji family returned to her natal family... I knew that apricot tree in your Xinting was her, and I thought it was a good person, so I even sneaked out to intercede with her..."
Hearing this, Su Rong was thoughtful, while Lu Nuo laughed loudly.
"Hahaha directly plead with the sect master..."
Ruyuan glared at Lu Nuo, and continued: "A few days ago, the master of the sect sent me to Xishan to protect you. I couldn't wish for it. Although there is nothing here in the barren mountains and wild mountains, and I can't eat every day, it is more comfortable than being in the Murong sect. .Yesterday I saw Lu Nuo sneaking around in the West Mountain, and I thought I could finally catch the job, but who knew that Lu Nuo claimed to be sent by the Zhong family, and I saw her poison you with my own eyes, so I immediately identified her as the Murong family The traitor of..."
"I'm a traitor?" Lu Nuo pointed at himself in surprise, and then pointed at Ru Yuan, who was already furious: "It's ridiculous, tell the sect master to see if she will believe your nonsense!"
"Of course you are not a traitor, so the sect master will definitely not believe the nonsense I wrote in the secret letter."
"What? What did you write? You wrote that I was a traitor in the secret letter?"
"Yes, I mentioned it briefly when I wrote the news of Su Rong's death."
"Where is the secret letter?!"
"It was sent out before Su Rong woke up."
"you you!"
Ru Yuan was calm, Lu Nuo was trembling with anger, if Su Rong hadn't repeatedly emphasized that the teacup was from an official kiln and was more expensive than gold, Lu Nuo would have put Ru Yuan's head on it long ago.
"Miss San!" Lu Nuo lifted her skirt and knelt down, said eagerly: "Miss San, Lu Nuo has no intention of betrayal, and I ask you to testify for Lu Nuo."
Seeing Lu Nuo knelt down side by side with her, Ruyuan silently moved to the left.Sensing the gap, Lu Nuo turned his head and said with a sneer, "I never thought that a little assassin would recognize me in Murong Sect."
"As the head of the eight elders of the Murong Sect, are you still afraid of the Sect Master?"
"You two get up quickly, the Zhong family is here to watch the joke."
Lu Nuo didn't take the Zhong family seriously, and said eagerly: "The sect master is suspicious..."
"My lords, please let me go." Su Rong saw that he could not support the two of them, and after sitting up from the imperial concubine bed, he also knelt down, "Now that Di Xin is dead, there is no such person as Su Rong in the world. Commoner, the two adults have begged the wrong person."
Seeing Su Rong kneeling down, Lu Nuo's face was as pale as a kite: No matter how magnanimous Murong Xing is, betrayal is a taboo.
Lu Nuo left the house in a blink of an eye, Ru Yuan reacted and chased after him, but Su Rong grabbed his sleeve just in time.
"Just when I was about to praise you for taking her into the army, you panicked again."
"Wouldn't my confidential letter be a fake when she went back? You know how ruthless Murong Xing is!"
"Then what are you going to do, am I not good?"
Ru Yuan's eyes lit up, and her expression eased.
"You believe me?"
"After tonight, all the truth will be covered up again. Do I believe it's that important?"
Ru Yuan was a little disappointed, Su Rong patted her on the shoulder, stood up and stretched her waist, turned her head and saw the door was half open, her smile grew stronger: "It's good to have some ventilation in the room, otherwise it will be suffocating."
Su Rong instructed Ru Yuan to clean up the leftover table after dinner, and hugged the stove alone on the imperial concubine's couch, just as Ru Yuan was chatting some gossip, a gust of cool wind blew in from outside the door.
Lu Nuo went back and forth, aggressively.
"Su Rong! It was also picked up by Murong Xing, why should you be nobler than us?"
Su Rong sniffed and ignored it.
"Look at how proud you are now, I dare to dig out Wang Teng's eyes, but don't I dare to dig yours?"
"Ruyuan, go!"
"Wait a minute, I have something to tell you."
Lu Nuo knew that he couldn't win like a kite, so he stomped his feet angrily in his heart: If Di Xin hadn't lost his conscience and slaughtered her whole family, how could she be reduced to being taught by an uneducated girl.
"Say."
Lu Nuo glanced at Ru Yuan, and Su Rong understood, "Ru Yuan, go wash the dishes."
Ruyuan didn't say a word, she walked out with the bowl in her hand, but it seemed that she was holding her own sword, and when she passed by Lu Nuo's side, her eyes flashed murderous looks.Lu Nuo didn't flinch, and met Ru Yuan's eyes at a glance, and there was a flash of lightning and fire.
Su Rong didn't seem to notice that the two were confronting each other, so she sneezed and reached out from her sleeve to pinch the tongs reluctantly.Before Lu Nuo could speak, Su Rong was about to add all the carbon in the brazier to the stove. The tongs quickly went back and forth, and the fire light flickered in an instant. There is no opening.
"The water is freezing!"
Ruyuan said loudly outside the room, when she entered the room she saw Su Rong frowning and glaring at her, she didn't understand why, so she said in a low voice: "There are people outside."
Su Rong's hypnosis was interrupted, and after Ruyuan brought the pot of boiling water out, she said helplessly, "You can say whatever you want, it's always your pleasure to add insult to injury."
Lu Nuo had just been woken up by Ruyuan's voice, and knew that he had almost fallen into Su Rong's trick, so he spoke mercilessly.
"You know how Ruyuan entered the Murong Sect. You should have died when Ruyuan failed to assassinate Di Xin, but you appreciated her and saved her life by passing on the title of the number one assassin, but in the end it was because of her help. Yours The child is under the family master's knee, and he can already babble at such a young age, but it's a pity that such a clever child was poisoned... She should be on duty like a kite, but she can't protect your child at all! You deserve it!"
"The child is fine! General Dan Xiao found out in time..."
Ru Yuan rushed into the room to defend herself, and when she saw Su Rong raised her hand to stop her approaching, she was startled, then turned her head to Lu Nuo and gritted her teeth, wishing she could cut off her tongue with her sword.Ru Yuan drew his sword and wanted to take action, Lu Nuo's five fingers turned black and was about to fight back, but suddenly a cold light flew past the two of them, and in the blink of an eye someone fell to the ground outside the door.
Su Rong's face was gloomy, and her tone was very dissatisfied: "Ruyuan, I'm not in good health now, and I can't bear too much murderous intent. At this moment, I have something to talk to Lu Nuo, and I'll trouble you to settle it."
Ruyuan stepped out of the room, turned her head to take a deep look at Su Rong, and closed the door.
As Lu Nuo moved around the room, he continued: "Dan Xiao turned the palace upside down. I was negligent for a while, but he found out the details of the Murong Sect. In desperation, the Sect Master ordered me to thoroughly investigate the poisoning. You Do you know who the murderer is? Zhong Li often goes to the East Palace to see the young master, but he never entered the palace two days before he was poisoned. ?”
Su Rong remained silent, her eyes fixed on the screen following Lu Nuo's movement.
"Zhong Li is no longer the Zhong Li you know. The big nanmu gold screen in her house was engraved not with your screen "Blue Bird Flying Fish", but "Carp Begging for a Child". She is jealous of you."
"continue."
"Relying on the Yuefu, Zhong Li's power penetrated inside and outside the court, but the position of female minister has not been able to fall on her. Last month, Zhong Hong suddenly died suddenly, and Zhong Li's mourning was silent for three days. Why? ? Naturally, they want to take advantage of Zhong Hong's prestige to compete with the sect master for power. The servants can't satisfy Zhong Li's ambitions, and you are still alive, which is an obstacle to Zhong Li's official career."
"The second batch of assassins sent by the Zhong family is to ensure that Xishan will never have any future troubles! There is no need for you to fake your death at all. You can only be saved if Zhong Li's poison/drug is replaced by me. You still don't believe me?"
"Can you convey for me that I have no interest in the position of a woman."
Seeing the glint of water in Su Rong's eyes, Lu Nuo was filled with righteous indignation: "Zhong Li knew the truth about Di Xin's death, I have pity on your sister's love, but she wants to kill you for a man. You just arrived in Xishan You should kill her to be buried with Di Xin, why are you so confused?"
Su Rong closed her eyes and shed tears, a familiar face appeared in her mind, but the clarity of that face made her heartbroken, and she couldn't help but choked up in pain: "You are wrong, Zhong Li is not like that. people."
Why did the Zhong family send someone to assassinate him?Why did Zhong Li fake his own death?Murong Xing told Ru Yuan and Lu Nuo to protect him, and how did he learn that he was about to be assassinated?If he can win tonight, where will he escape tomorrow?Where can I escape?
Under the whole world, could it be the king's land...
