After being forced to attack four old enemies

The moon is hollow.

Under the quiet moonlight, the white snow reflects the moonlight, exuding fine golden light, which seems to be dotted with gold powder, which is really beautiful.

The whole city was quiet, the lively restaurants during the day had long been closed, and only a few romantic fireworks places were still lit.

The warm fragrance floats in the Moon Lai Pavilion. Under the urging of the warm breath, the fragrances of various colors are intertwined and penetrate into people's noses, making people's hearts hot and itchy.

A man with a thin body, smeared on his face, and a pair of sharp eyes walked into Yuelai Pavilion.

The steward of Yuelai Pavilion looked at him calmly. Although the clothes this guest was wearing were simple in style, they were all made of high-quality satin. He was wearing boxy black boat shoes on his feet, and a high-quality dress hanging from his waist. suet jade pendant.

This attire is not ordinary.It's just that this guest doesn't look like he came back to the brothel.Since entering Yuelai Pavilion, this guest turned a blind eye to the sensual atmosphere inside, and saw him as the person in charge at a glance.

Look at this man with a pale face and thin bones, he is clearly an eunuch who was castrated in the palace since he was a child!

The young eunuch with sharp hanging eyes looked at him: "Arrange an elegant room for Qiu Hua to serve."

It's really strange that eunuchs come to serve women in brothels!

The person in charge was amused in his heart, but he showed a look of embarrassment on his face: "Master, Qiu Hua is not feeling well today, how about a younger one?"

It wasn't that he made things difficult on purpose, but that Qiu Hua was being locked up in the confinement room and was still being punished.

This autumn painting is the person who went to the gate of Hu Xinghe's mansion to cry and make trouble during the day.The person in charge could see this clearly, it was obvious that someone had poured dirty water on Hu Xinghe.

He doesn't care about Hu Xinghe's grievances with others, but Hu Xinghe is a guest of Yuelai Pavilion after all.Regardless of Yuelai Pavilion's reputation, Qiu Hua went to the door of the guests to cry and make noise, which has seriously violated the regulations of Yuelai Pavilion.If these brothel women all ran to make a fuss, who would dare to come to Yuelai Pavilion to sit in the future?

He didn't let Qiu Hua be whipped to death, and he had already taken advantage of this little hoof.

The eunuch didn't speak, and took out a shiny and white jade bead from the hidden pocket in his sleeve robe, and handed it to the person in charge of Yuelai Pavilion.

The steward's eyes of Yuelai Pavilion were straightened.He took the white jade bead and carefully held it in his palm.The jade beads are warm and moist at first glance, and they are rare treasures at first glance.

It's profitable, who cares about the dispute between Qiu Hua and the people in the palace, as long as there is no trouble.

Immediately a servant led the eunuch upstairs.Not long after, Qiu Hua was also brought up.

Qiu Hua's body softened to the ground, and she regretted not falling.She was almost beaten to death in the confinement room, and she was on a hunger strike for another day. She was a delicate brothel girl, how could she stand such torture.

As soon as Qiu Hua entered the room, she cried: "It's tortured me to death. If I knew it, I would never covet that pearl hairpin. I promised you to do such a thing!"

The sly-eyed eunuch looked at Qiu Hua coldly, and waited until Qiu Hua had cried enough before saying: "You will leave the city early tomorrow morning."

Qiu Hua even forgot to cry when she heard the words: "What are you doing out of the city?"

The eunuch sneered and said: "Save your life! Do you think that Hu Xinghe is easy to provoke? Fu Zier and Bai Xingzhi beside him, one is the son of Lord Sikou and the other is the son of Lord Situ, and they want to punish you The crime of the little brothel girl is as easy as pie."

The eunuch said: "Wait until tomorrow, someone will arrest you and put you in prison in a short time. Do you think you will still be alive at that time?"

Qiu Hua trembled all over: "Then what should I do? You didn't tell me this at the beginning, you..."

The more Qiu Hua talked, the more frightened she became. Tears and cold sweat kept flowing. She immediately knelt down in front of the eunuch, "What should I do? My lord, save me!"

The eunuch didn't expect Qiu Hua to be so easy to fool, a flash of contempt flashed in his eyes, he said: "If you do what I say, your life will be saved, and you will have endless glory and wealth in your next life."

"When you leave the city tomorrow, you go straight to the north. There will naturally be someone to meet you, settle your residence, and give you a large amount of property. As long as you don't show up in the king's city in the future, you will be fine. Remember, don't bring anything .”

After the eunuch finished his explanation, he went downstairs to find the steward of Yuelai Pavilion, and brought out a few more jade beads to redeem Qiu Hua's body. He warned the steward of Yuelai Pavilion not to stop Qiu Hua from leaving tomorrow.

The steward only had the precious and extraordinary Nuan Yuzhu in his eyes, and immediately nodded with a smile, expressing that Qiu Hua can leave whenever he wants, and he will never stop her.

He respectfully sent this strange guest away. When he left the gate, a sign fell off the guest. He quickly bent down to pick it up and put it in his cuff.The steward's sharp eyes saw the word "Fox" written on the sign.

The figure of the eunuch disappeared in the wind and snow.

However, a horrible thing happened. The steward saw with his own eyes a few more footprints on the snow behind the eunuch, as if someone had been following him.

The steward rubbed his eyes and realized that it was not his hallucination, so he shivered and closed the door heavily.

And the eunuch obviously didn't notice this, he could only hear the whistling wind and snow in his ears, and couldn't hear other sounds at all.

It's just that he did have a strange feeling along the way, as if he was being watched all the time.However, he has carefully probed this way, and there is no one else but him.Therefore, he attributed the strange feeling in his heart to his guilty conscience of doing bad things.

This is the last thing he needs to do. After finishing this thing, he will leave the city and leave the royal city tomorrow to avoid being traced afterwards.

The eunuch is a palace servant who came out of the palace and was arranged in Hu Xinghe's mansion.He kept a low profile in Fox Xinghe's mansion, but later acquaintances in the palace contacted him and asked him to do things for the one in the palace.

In the beginning, he was only asked to monitor Fox Xinghe's movements. After Hu Xinghe went to a brothel, the people behind him planned this matter.Let him encourage that brothel girl to make trouble, and then use her identity as a member of the Hu Xinghe family to redeem her body.

In this way, once something happens to the brothel woman, it will naturally be found on Fox Xinghe through his identity.

In order not to attract Hu Xinghe's vigilance and attention, he said a few days earlier that he had contracted a cold and worried about infecting others, so he moved out of Hu Xinghe's mansion.

And after the matter was completed, even if he was found, he had already left the royal city and planned his retreat.In the second half of his life, he didn't have to see the current person again, and went to become an adult by himself with the money that he would never use up in the rest of his life.

Thinking of the matter of going out of the city tomorrow, the eunuch let out a sigh and smiled rarely.

He finally walked to his temporary home and pushed open the dilapidated wooden door, thinking longingly what the door would look like in the future. There must be enough charcoal fire in the house so that he would no longer suffer from the cold.

Hu Xinghe quietly watched the eunuch walk into the house, the wooden door blocked his sight, so he didn't follow in.

Been out for quite a while today.Although he used invisibility to sneak out, he still had to be careful so that no one would find out that he was not in the house.

He noticed the eunuch from the very beginning.

Because of the lessons learned from the past, he was not at ease with the people who came out of the palace around him, and there might be some of them who were Wei Zhenzhen's spies.

The first time he went to the brothel, besides making people think that he had completely let go of Ji Yu, he deliberately sold a loophole to Wei Zhenzhen to see if Wei Zhenzhen would make a fuss about it.

In those few days, he had more than 20 of his guards closely monitor the movements of people coming and going at each gate.These more than 20 guards were all brought by him from Yan Kingdom, and they are only loyal to him.

He selected several suspicious people from these palace people, and this eunuch was among the suspicious people he selected.

On the second day, the eunuch said that he had contracted a cold and wanted to leave the mansion temporarily, Hu Xinghe immediately confirmed the identity of the eunuch as a spy.Under his indulgence, the eunuch left the mansion and was able to start his own actions.But he didn't know that all his actions were caught by Hu Xinghe.

By tomorrow, the eunuch and the brothel girl will leave the city, but what awaits them is probably not the easy-to-get wealth, but the mountain robbers arranged by Wei Zhenzhen.

Hu Xinghe sighed, turned and left.

A string of footprints were left out of thin air on the snow, but strangely, no one could be seen.Before long, these footprints will be covered with new snowflakes and disappear.

……

The next day.

Qiu Hua didn't sleep all night, her heart was frightened and restless, she couldn't fall asleep at all, her originally pretty face looked extremely haggard at this moment.

She stared out of the window with a pair of eyes, waiting for a ray of skylight to appear, and the sound of cock crowing came from outside.Qiu Hua only felt that she had finally come to an end and could leave this place where she was tortured so much.

Keeping the eunuch's words in mind, she quietly left the city without carrying any salutes.

Qiu Hua scrubbed her cheeks with water, rinsed her mouth with ice-cold tea, and didn't even take care of her makeup, so she wanted to flee in a hurry.Just one step away from the door, the woman suddenly turned her head and frantically took out a small object wrapped in silk from under the clothes box.

She stuffed the little object into her bosom, and then hurriedly went downstairs, as if there was a deadly ghost chasing after her.

At this time, there were not many people in Yuelai Pavilion, and they were all servants who needed to get up early to do chores.Seeing Qiu Hua's flustered look, they were just curious but didn't stop them.

They got the order that Qiu Hua was redeemed last night and was completely free, so they can leave whenever they want.

These people couldn't help being envious of Qiu Hua's good life, and felt that Qiu Hua's luck was due to such an unlucky person as Hu Xinghe.

Just looking at Qiu Hua's face, there is no joy at all, she looks haggard, she doesn't even take care of her makeup, she doesn't comb her hair in a bun, it's like running for her life!

Regardless of everyone's strange eyes, Qiu Hua pushed away the wind and ran out against the cold wind.

When Qiu Hua ran to the gate of the city out of breath, her heart was clenched, and it kept beating "bang bang".She was afraid that Hu Xinghe and his party would send someone to guard the door to prevent her from leaving.It is even possible that as soon as she appears, guards will appear and take her away.

When the city gate opened, Qiu Hua lowered her head and walked out of the city.Her hands were tugging at her clothes, and her palms were wet with cold sweat.

"stop!"

A scold.

Qiu Hua shivered, her heart almost jumped out.She saw a guard in armor walking towards her, and her heart felt as if she had fallen to the bottom of the valley.

"What are you doing, leaving the city so early!"

The guard questioned.

Qiu Hua's lips trembled, and she couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time. She faltered and said: "My parents are... outside the city, and there is no one to take care of them when they are seriously ill..."

Seeing that Qiu Hua was a weak woman and she was going out of the city to take care of her parents, the guard didn't make things difficult for her, and quickly let her pass through the city gate.

When Qiu Hua walked out of the city gate, her entire back was wet with cold sweat, and her footsteps were so frightened that she was weak.When she walked too far to see the city gate, Qiu Hua couldn't help but sit and rest for a while.

She started on the road again, heading in the direction the eunuch said.

After walking half a stick of incense time away, she saw a person in front of her in the distance.The man waved to her, as if he was the one who had agreed with her.

Qiu Hua quickened her pace and trotted forward.But she stopped abruptly, and she saw a scar on the face of the person standing in front of her.At this moment, the man's eyes were sizing up her body and face with incomparable obscenity.

Qiu Hua wanted to run, but it was too late.

Two more robbers appeared behind her, blocking her retreat.Qiu Hua screamed and fell into despair.

……

Wang Qing didn't sleep all night last night.

Wang Qing is the spy working for Wei Zhenzhen in Hu Xinghe's mansion, that eunuch with a stern eye.

He voluntarily castrated and entered the palace in order to have enough food since he was a child.He was lucky enough to be selected, and many others were castrated but not selected.

However, although such a person cannot enter the royal city, many nobles outside also need eunuchs, so they will not be castrated in vain.

He originally thought that he could live a good life after entering the royal city, after all, how many people yearn to enter the palace.

Unexpectedly, after entering the palace, he could only be the lowest eunuch.In addition to doing their own errands every day, they also have to serve those eunuchs who entered the palace earlier than them.

Those old eunuchs joked that this was a tradition in the palace, and it was only natural for them to help them wash their old clothes and massage their legs.Even some old eunuchs who are mentally distorted due to disabilities will find some handsome young eunuchs to serve them in order to vent their desires.

Wang Qing was unlucky and became one of those handsome little eunuchs.

For so many years, he has been humiliated and gritted his teeth with tears in his eyes just to be able to stand out and get rich. For this reason, he is not afraid no matter how hard he suffers.

His status gradually improved, and he thought that he would soon get the wealthy life he dreamed of, but he never thought that he would be sent out of the palace and become an unknown servant in Hu Xinghe's mansion.

Wang Qing, who thought the wealth at his fingertips, suddenly went away, Wang Qing felt unwilling, but he had no choice but to tell him that he was just an insignificant servant.

It was precisely because of resentment that when acquaintances in the palace approached him, he did not hesitate to agree to the request to help the nobleman in the palace.Everyone knew that that noble person would become the Queen of Jing Kingdom in the near future, and if he could become the servant of the future queen, it would be tens of thousands of times better than being the servant of Hu Xinghe.

He monitored Hu Xinghe's every move, and reported to the people in the palace every day under the guise of going out on business.

Later, after Hu Xinghe went to the brothel, he became the most powerful pawn in the hands of that nobleman in the palace.Helping her instigate the brothel girl to slander Hu Xinghe, and even intentionally let the brothel girl go out of the city to be silenced, so as to frame Hu Xinghe.

In this way, although he can no longer stay in the royal city, the nobles in the palace have given him enough wealth to spend several lifetimes.He can go to other cities to be a wealthy and idle adult, and spend the rest of his life comfortably.

The life he longs for will soon come true, if only the city is left.

He hid his belongings in a remote place outside the city, where no one but he could find them.He was afraid that he would be killed and silenced like the girl in the brothel, so he took precautions from the beginning.

The death of the brothel girl can only be blamed on her own stupidity and greed, not him.

Wang Qing came to the city gate.

In order to make himself inconspicuous, he deliberately chose the time when there were many people at noon.As he walked behind the crowd, his heart couldn't help beating faster, and he was somewhat nervous.

Fortunately, he was smart and chose a time when there were many people.The guards didn't question each of them at all, and many of them just glanced at them and let them leave the city.

When it was Wang Qing's turn, the guard looked at Wang Qing twice, which made Wang Qing nervous.When he heard the guards say "go there", he let go of the boulder in his heart and walked out of the city quickly.

Wang Qing, who was bowing his head, didn't notice that two people outside the city saw Wang Qing's figure, they immediately looked at each other, and quietly followed behind Wang Qing.

Wang Qing walked and found something was wrong.

He turned his head and found that two strong men had been following him.The two men were strong, with a reckless aura, and a strong murderous aura.Therefore, Wang Qing confirmed the identities of the two of them at once.

Thief.

With a clever mind, he immediately understood who wrote it, and his face turned pale in an instant.

"Kill people to kill people, kill people to kill people, I'm the one who wants to kill people!"

Wang Qing didn't miss the last chance to struggle, and ran towards the snow-covered mountains.

However, how could his physical strength rival these thieves who made a living by robbing and killing people.Seeing that Wang Qing was about to be caught up soon, a group of guards in armor suddenly came after the two thieves.

Several of the guards opened their bows and arrows, and shot arrows directly from behind, directly penetrating the bodies of the two thieves.

Wang Qing was extremely terrified, he was afraid that the guards in the city would chase him out, so he kept running.

"call out!"

An arrow pierced through the air from behind, and pierced Wang Qing's knee with incomparable precision, causing half of his leg to bend and kneel on the ground. His whole body rolled on the ground like a huge snowball. The circle stopped.

Wang Qing complained endlessly.

A group of guards behind him caught up and lifted him up.Wang Qing thought that he would be taken into the city by this team of guards, but unexpectedly he was taken to a courtyard outside the city.

The courtyard was heavily guarded, with guards guarding the gate.

Wang Qing was thrown into the snow by someone fighting against the courtyard.He soon saw a person in the courtyard who never expected to appear here.

Qiu Hua, the brothel woman who was supposed to die outside the city, was kneeling on the ground at this moment, looking like she had just recovered from shock.

When Qiu Hua saw Wang Qing's face, she came back to her senses, and strong emotions finally appeared in her empty eyes.She rushed forward, biting Wang Qing's skin exposed outside the clothes.

The woman was out of control like a wild beast at the moment: "Damn it! I was deceived by you so badly! So miserable!"

If these guards hadn't appeared, Qiu Hua couldn't imagine what would happen to her.

Wang Qing let out a hoarse scream.When the woman was pulled away, Wang Qing's ear was dripping with blood, and was actually bitten off by the woman.

Qiu Hua spit out the ear in her mouth, raised her head and laughed loudly: "You deserve it, you deserve it!"

The guard in the courtyard scolded: "Quiet."

Soon the two swords were compared on the necks of the two, and the two dared not make a sound, so they could only kneel down towards the door of a room as the guard said.

With a creak, the door was pushed open from the inside, and a figure walked out from the door.

This person was wearing a snow-white coat and a red dress that was as bright as a begonia. The two extreme colors of red and white contrasted with each other. They looked bright and eye-catching, firmly attracting people's eyes.

Hu Xinghe walked out from the gate.

The bright clothes set off his snow-white face, with small and exquisite features, and a radiant complexion, giving him a free and easy feeling of "fresh clothes angering a horse".

Seeing Hu Xinghe, Wang Qing and Qiu Hua said in unison: "Fox Xinghe?"

At this time, no matter how stupid Wang Qing was, he realized that Hu Xinghe was not the stupid person that others said.The really stupid people are him and the nobles in the palace, who have been calculated clearly by others from the beginning.

Hu Xinghe glanced at the two of them, and sat on the pouf.

Hu Xinghe said to Wang Qing and Qiu Hua at the same time: "I can save the two of you with my life."

Qiu Hua's eyes lit up immediately, but thinking of the previous experience of being deceived and ending up like that, she became vigilant: "Why should I trust you?"

Hu Xinghe said: "It's because I saved you. Just because you believe in me, there is still a way to survive. If you don't believe me, you will die in vain."

Hu Xinghe's tone was determined and confident, and at this moment, it seemed that there was a kind of wisdom that no one could ignore.

Wang Qing lowered his head and was still thinking.Hu Xinghe glanced at Wang Qing: "You should know that I'm telling the truth, I won't kill you. But Wei Zhenzhen couldn't hide the fact that the thieves sent to kill both of you died. Do you think she After knowing this, will you soften your heart and let you go?"

Wang Qing smiled wryly: "No. If I were Wei Zhenzhen, I would only send more people to completely wipe out these two survivors, and never let the matter be exposed."

Wang Qing is still a smart person, he can always figure out some things quickly, but he was blinded by huge interests, so he did such a risky thing.

Hu Xinghe looked straight at Wei Qing, his eyes were convincing: "So, trust me."

"You testify against me, and I promise to keep your lives alive."

……

Wei Zhenzhen has been restless.

Ever since she contacted people outside the city to rob and kill the brothel woman and the eyeliner who had been planted beside Hu Xinghe yesterday, she has not received a reply from outside the palace.

I don't know how things are going?

Wei Zhenzhen frowned and thought, biting his fingers, upset.

Her personal maid entered the palace, also frowning tightly.Wei Zhenzhen looked at her immediately, and asked, "How is it? Is there no news from outside?"

The maid shook her head.

Wei Zhen was really annoyed and puzzled: "Why is this happening? It's just a woman from a brothel and a servant who has no power to restrain a chicken. Why hasn't there been any news back to the palace for so long? It shouldn't be..."

She thought hard about whether there was a loophole in her plan, but after thinking about it, she always felt that there was not much omission in the plan.

She was startled, and a thought suddenly popped up in her mind, could it be that what did Hu Xinghe do?

At this time, the lips of the maid beside her moved, and finally couldn't help but say the news that just came.

"Miss, Hu Xinghe sued you in court. It says you... that you colluded with the robbers outside the city and committed the crime of murder in two villages at the same time. This matter has been spread throughout the city..."

Wei Zhenzhen only felt that the blood flowed backwards, which made her almost faint.

The author has something to say: I forgot to update regularly, I just sent it out now, I was wrong

Saturday is the next day
