September is full of flowers

Ning Xiangye did not take a sedan chair when he went out today, but rode a bay red horse.The crimson official uniform and the white crane patch on the lapel seem to remind others that he is the prime minister of the Dafeng Dynasty.

There were only two young servants beside him, thin and weak, trotting along with the horses all the way.They would never know why Ning Xiang rode a horse instead of a sedan chair today, and brought their two sweeping servants instead of guards.

Yesterday the imperial concubine sent someone to report, saying that the assailant in the capital was after her, and she didn't mention the Taige at all in her words, but Ning Xiang and others have long clarified in their hearts that this kind of unforeseen thing is only in the Taige. That man can do it.

As expected of a scheming fox, Ning Xiang deliberately relaxed the guards around him in order to lure the snake out of its hole.The death of Shang Shuling made him lose a lot of power in the court, and he wanted to see for himself who dared to murder the imperial court official!

The buildings on the side of the official road are all owned by officials and eunuchs, and the stone lions at the gates of each mansion are lined up. Ordinary people will not come here for no reason to break the taboo, so at this moment, there is only the sound of Ning Xiang's horse's hooves passing by on the street.

But in a building facing the street across the street, two figures stood.

A handsome man, wearing a mask.The other one is a beautiful girl with delicate features.

Shen Man was brought here early in the morning by someone sent by Tang Jiuyue. When he saw his grandfather walking out of the mansion, Shen Man couldn't help asking, "Yesterday, the supervisor of the gate warned my grandfather, why does he still dress so lightly? I remember that Shang Shuling It was also like this when he died, didn't my grandfather receive the news?"

Tang Jiuyue looked down and said calmly, "Master Ning has two intentions for this move. One is that he knows that I will pay attention to the development of this matter, and deliberately shows it to me; the other is that he wants to lure the snake out of the hole and let the murderer fall into the net."

"If the murderer really came out, wouldn't my grandfather be imprisoned?" Shen Man frowned, staring down worriedly.

"Look at the roof across the street, and then look at the old man sweeping the corner of the street." Tang Jiuyue turned and sat down, the fox fur on her shoulders softly stroking her lotus-like face, "These are masters recruited by Ning Xiang, don't just look at these Individuals are actually enough to deal with the strength of a battalion."

Shen Man felt a little relieved, "So, the murderer has nowhere to go."

Tang Jiuyue said, "Not necessarily."

Seeing Shen Man in the fog, Tang Jiuyue continued, "Actually, what I said about Ning Xiang's face is really false. Ning Xiangye has been tricked. I don't know if the murderer who is familiar with yin and yang will be tricked."

"What?!" Shen Man was surprised at first, and then figured out the joints. He also took a seat facing Tang Jiuyue, and asked tentatively, "The gate supervisor said that grandfather was in trouble in front of the imperial concubine, and he wanted to lure the real murderer to appear?"

"Yeah." Tang Jiuyue raised her eyes, looked at Shen Man, and motioned her to tell her guess.

Encouraged by her eyes, Shen Man continued, "If I were a murderer, it would be strange if I suddenly told him that I would kill someone without planning to kill him. So, I will go to the scene to see who is pretending to be a murderer." I murder people."

Tang Jiuyue nodded, her eyes sparkled and she said, "You're right, he should be silently observing Ning Xiang in a corner we don't know right now."

"Where will he be..." Shen Man was still thinking about his grandfather.

"Compared to this, haven't you ever wondered why the murderer knew that someone would attack Ning Xiangye?" Tang Jiuyue was persuasive.

"Yes," Shen Man thought for a while, and said, "Could it be that this person is hiding beside us?"

"I had this idea from the very beginning," Tang Jiuyue seemed quite satisfied with Shen Man, "and I am more and more sure that he is by our side."

Shen Man fell silent.

Whether it is Ning Chun, Shang Shuling, or the maid Xiaochun, they are indeed by her side.But apart from Ning Chun, the other two have no intersection with him.Although Ning Chun was in a coma, he was not dead after all, while the other two were dead.

Why did these three people fall into the "dream" at the same time, and why did the murderer kill them?

"When you are thinking about these three people, you have to exclude Ning Chun." Tang Jiuyue's voice rang in her ears.

Shen Man must have looked at Tang Jiuyue in a daze.

Tang Jiuyue continued, "Because Ning Chun is probably pretending, she just wants to use this thing to avoid another thing."

"She wants to escape into the palace, but she is already in the palace. She is from Ning Xiangfu. Concubine Ning is ill. No matter whether she is willing or not, she will be sent to the palace to replace Concubine Ning." Gradually tightening his hands, he turned his head to look at the back of the man on the horse, and said helplessly and angrily, "Before I came to Kyoto to see my grandfather, I never thought he was such a person. Because my mother once told me that my grandfather He is a kind old man. From what I hear now, it is just an illusion my mother created for me, and in this illusion hides my mother’s guilt towards my grandfather and grandmother.”

Tang Jiuyue looked at Shen Man's profile, even though she knew there were some things she shouldn't say, she still said them.

"It might have been a good thing when your mother left. If she stayed..."

Shen Man knew the meaning of Tang Jiuyue's words, if his mother stayed in the first place, she would definitely be sent to the harem.What a beauty Shen Man's mother was back then, with her intelligence, she would definitely be able to seek greater benefits for Ning Xiangfu.Presumably, the grandfather had the same thoughts when he saw the mother who was growing more and more beautiful and juicy.

Tang Jiuyue sighed softly, and said to herself in a voice inaudible to others, "If you stay here, I'm afraid you won't be here anymore."

"Since Ning Chun is pretending to be dreaming, she must know some inside information. Why didn't we expose her and ask her for inquiries, instead of letting grandfather take risks?" Shen Man asked after returning to his senses.

"If she is willing to say it, we don't have to bother." Tang Jiuyue looked at the oranges on the low table, hesitating whether to eat them or not.The oranges are yellow and round, and they look really cute.Tang Jiuyue is very fond of round things. Sometimes she wanted to make all the things in the Taige round. Fortunately, Lime blocked her, otherwise she would not have known that a circle suddenly appeared on the majestic and solemn jade steps. What a riot the ball building would cause.

"But one thing is for sure, after we stimulate her, she will lose her composure." Tang Jiuyue felt a sour taste in her mouth, and looked away from the orange.

"Here we come!" Shen Man whispered.Suddenly, a shadow rushed out of the street, moving very fast, and went directly towards Ning Xiang, holding a knife blade gleaming with cold light in his hand, looking extremely menacing.

Tang Jiuyue turned her head and watched from afar.

"Isn't it true that my grandfather had robbery? Why is there really an assassin?!"

"How cunning is the murderer, if you don't put a bait, how can you stimulate him to show up?"

Shen Man rubbed his brows and said, "It turns out that the gate guard put two baits, one is my grandfather, and the other is the assassin who just showed up. But what I don't understand is, why did you choose my grandfather as the bait?"

Tang Jiuyue stretched out three fingers, waved them in front of Shen Man, and said, "First, Prime Minister Ning had a high reputation in the previous court, and Concubine Ning Guifei was also a barrier in the first court. Although the characteristics of the murderer's choice of targets are not sure yet, he He successively approached the officials of the former court and the maid of honor, which shows that he is very sensitive to these two identities. I chose Ning Xiangye, in fact, I was trying my luck, and now it really is."

Shen Man nodded.

Tang Jiuyue retracted one finger and continued, "Second, Mr. Ning's brothers and feet are enough to protect himself. If I choose someone else, I'm afraid I won't have such protection measures."

Shen Man nodded again, staring at Tang Jiuyue's shaking two fingers, wondering when she would take them back, did she forget after counting the points?

"Thirdly, this is also the most important point." Tang Jiuyue said, "President Ning has been at odds with the supervisor in the court recently..."

"..."

"Xiao Man," Tang Jiuyue glanced at her fingers, frowned and said, "Is there a silk cloth? My supervisor just got dirty on his hands."

"..."

"Look at the gate supervisor, there is a figure on the opposite eaves, is it this person?" Shen Man asked hastily, pointing in one direction.

Tang Jiuyue held her back and said in a low voice, "Calm down, you are careful to expose yourself by pointing at him! Don't worry, someone will follow him on my side, and he will not escape this time!"

Shen Man looked down at her hand pressing his arm, and for some reason, his mood became more disturbed. After taking a few deep breaths, he murmured, "Under this situation, how can I calm down..."

On the other side of Guandao Street, the people sent by Tang Jiuyue cut off the tail of Ning Xiang's hair with a single knife, and with another knife, they were about to cut off Ning Xiang's head.At this time, another flash of cold light was seen, followed by a "clang" sound, and the flames splashed all over the place. The crooked old man who was sweeping on the other side suddenly straightened his waist, and blocked this fierce strike with a mighty force.

The masters fought with each other, and the difference was a thousand miles away. The two concentrated their minds on the battle and threw Ning Xiang aside.

Shen Man suddenly felt that there seemed to be a murderous aura in the northeast direction, and his hairs stood on end. When he looked closely, the figure in the building had disappeared.When I saw it again, the figure had already run to a stone lion near Ning Xiang.

Danger!

Shen Man couldn't help getting up and lying on the side of the railing, staring wide-eyed.

Tang Jiuyue raised her lips slightly and said, "Don't worry, I have more than one person."

As soon as the words fell, the shadow was about to strike. At this time, a person who looked like a child rushed out from nowhere, and threw a handful of dust at the person's face.The man seemed surprised, covering his mouth and nose and looking around.Tang Jiuyue walked out, waving at the man as if greeting an old friend.

The man widened his eyes and fled along a hidden road, but the children sent by Tang Jiuyue didn't even catch up.

"Why did people run away?" Shen Man asked anxiously.

Tang Jiuyue said lightly, "Don't worry, I can't run away."
