Broken Iron Clothes

=====================

Only then did Jiang Shiqing shake off the pursuers a little, and then turned to hide in the left alley behind the Dudu's mansion.Just now he rushed out of the jailer with a sword in his hand, he ran all the way, his body was already weak, and now his whole body is even weaker.

There was no one in the left alley for the time being, Jiang Shiqing pulled off his face towel and gasped against the wall.But before he stayed for a while, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside the alley.

Jiang Shiqing slowed down a bit, trying to find a way out, but when he raised his eyes to look around, someone covered his mouth and pulled him away.

The man was so powerful that he couldn't resist for a while, so he was pressed straight to the corner of the wall, and it was at this time that he saw clearly that the man in front of him was Yuan Mucheng.

"Why are you hiding here, but I'm thinking too hard?" Yuan Mucheng stretched out his hand to untie Jiang Shiqing's bun, but the man squeezed his wrist tightly.

Jiang Shiqing didn't let go of his hands, and raised his foot against the person, pushing him farther away with force.

The two were in a stalemate like this, Yuan Mucheng didn't speak, his eyes moved down the top of the man's head.

In front of him, Jiang Shiqing's complexion was pale, cold sweat shone through the night, and his tear-filled eyes seemed to be filled with water, which made people look confused and fascinated.

But the voices outside the alley were getting closer and closer. Jiang Shiqing wanted to get away from him, but Yuan Mucheng clasped his wrist behind his back and pressed him hard against the wall.

"If you want to live, don't move."

With cold eyes, Yuan Mucheng picked out Jiang Shiqing's bun very quickly, and after brushing the man's long hair loose, he took off his coat to cover him up, and then pressed his body over.

Jiang Shiqing still raised his legs against the person, but Yuan Mucheng didn't care. He looked at the appearance of the normally solemn and cold person who wanted to resist but could only obey him, and felt refreshed in his heart.

"Zuoli Lane is a good place to flirt. It's next to the Governor's Mansion. It's exciting. But the next time you look for me, you'll have to go to Prince Jingping's Mansion. After finishing my errands, I won't come here often." Yuan Mucheng whispered.

At this time, Jiang Shiqing was still breathing, still not saying a word, just tilting his head to avoid the other party's gaze, like a frightened little beast, forced to submit to the beast that had the upper hand for a while, but still stubborn temper.

When the two of them were not talking, the Zuoli Lane was extremely quiet, and only the sound of soldiers' armors that kept getting louder still echoed in their ears.

Yuan Mucheng's stiff body was extremely hot in the chaotic and bleak night, and Jiang Shiqing's face was pressed against his shoulder, like a spear hitting a solid shield. When they refused to give in, they could only choose to confront each other.

The two were very close, and when surrounded by Yuan Mucheng, Jiang Shiqing's heaving chest could vaguely touch the person in front of him.The breathing of the two became heavier, and Jiang Shiqing smelled the smell of the scorching sun under the outer shirt that encased him, and suddenly remembered the iron clothes in the flying sand and the military flag blowing in the wind, but what appeared in front of him was not the bleeding floating in the dream. The image of the hill is the majestic golden iron horse on the vast land. Those bodies waiting to be burned will stand in the memory forever, never seeing the sun again.

Just as Jiang Shiqing was in a daze, the sound of soldiers approaching behind the two of them, Yuan Mucheng stretched his legs and pushed Jiang Shiqing's feet to the side, moving his body closer, but looking back vigilantly.

"Who is it!" Prison Shi Shi shouted from a distance.

Yuan Mucheng stretched his arms around Jiang Shiqing's waist, and pressed the head of the man who was still in a daze into his arms, as if he was afraid of being seen, he panickedly tightened the coat covering the man's body before turning his head.

The leading prison officer, Shi Shi, was startled, and hurriedly saluted: "See General Yun."

Yuan Mucheng looked disturbed, and his tone was full of dissatisfaction: "Why, what happened again?"

After everyone figured out the situation, they turned their heads away from each other, and the jailer's history also lowered his head in embarrassment to read again, and said: "Disturb General Yaxing, Cen Yu escaped and was captured, and now there are still his accomplices who have not been arrested. The army and the Ministry of Punishment are searching for people, I don't know..."

Yuan Mucheng said in a deep voice: "This land is so big, you should have seen it clearly by crawling around. Do I need to explain to you what I am doing?"

Everyone was ashamed because they broke Yuan Mucheng's good deeds. After hearing Yuan Mucheng's words, they didn't dare to say anything. They just poked their heads secretly to see the beauty's true face. The parachutist who is fighting is not yet married, he is a good person, when he can't restrain himself, he hugs people in the streets and alleys and indulges in passion, it is really unrestrained.

Seeing Yuan Mucheng's expression was unkind, while the beautiful woman in his arms shrunk his face in shame, Prison Shi felt that he couldn't offend the person in front of him, so he turned his face to signal the curious people behind him to stay calm.

"The subordinate dare not."

After finishing the Prison History, he turned his head and hurried the people out: "Let's go and check elsewhere!"

The sound of footsteps was submerged in the long night, and Yuan Mucheng let go of him, and lifted up the clothes covering his head. He didn't move, just raised his hands to support his drooping coat, and stared at Jiang Shiqing, who looked calm in front of him.

"You are really crazy to do this kind of thing."

Jiang Shiqing raised his eyes and said, "Why don't you do it after taking the money?"

"Business has become life-threatening, and the gain outweighs the loss." Yuan Mucheng picked up the shirt on top of Jiang Shiqing's head, withdrew his hand, and said, "I'm still waiting for your good wine."

Jiang Shiqing pulled off the clothes hanging above his head, threw it into Yuan Mucheng's arms, and said, "Didn't the general save my life?"

Yuan Mucheng shook the coat he received, put it on his body, and said, "Your brother Yuan is going to get the title of 'anxiety' for you today, how about it, is it worth the money?"

Jiang Shiqing walked aside, stretched out his hand and broke off a section of wooden branch from the branch protruding from the wall.

"Well, it's worth it," Jiang Shiqing gathered up his hair, tied it up in a bun, threaded it into a wooden branch to fix it, and said, "It's written in the account, the general still owes a sum."

After putting on the clothes, Yuan Mucheng lowered his head and straightened his collar: "Just remember, I'm afraid you will forget."

"The one who owes money cares more than the one who lends money. What's the idea?"

Yuan Mucheng raised his eyes and said, "Right now, the owner should not care more about himself, think about how to go back wearing this eye-catching clothes."

"Then don't bother the general."

Jiang Shiqing tied the black cloth, turned his head and disappeared into the deep night without looking back.

-

After lightly jumping down from the eaves, Jiang Shiqing walked into the dormitory while taking off his night clothes.

"I see that you and that parachutist are on good terms, aren't you?"

Jiang Shiqing paused, looked aside, and saw Gu Nanxing sitting on the corridor with a knife in his arms, with an expression of waiting for a good show.

"How long have you been with me?" Jiang Shiqing walked up to him and sat down, also raising his feet.

Gu Nanxing smiled: "Soon, I'll stop by to have a look."

"You didn't tell the gentlemen, did you?" As he spoke, he gathered up the clothes he had just untied.

"How dare you, Mr. Lin Meng alone can drown me with saliva," Gu Nanxing said, suddenly remembering that Zhong Dingshan's bedroom was not far from here, and quickly turned his head to look there. , then lowered his voice and continued, "If it weren't for the fear that the coagulated blood in the tan would be too poisonous, I would not be willing to stay up in the middle of the night and run around half of the city with you."

Jiang Shiqing smiled and said, "Thank you."

Gu Nanxing blew away the broken hair around his cheeks, and said, "Why don't you talk to your friend about this, they can protect you tightly enough."

Jiang Shiqing put his arm on the crossed leg and said, "Are you enjoying watching from the sidelines?"

Gu Nanxing leaned forward, and said softly: "I've grown up so much, I think I've seen the world, and it's not unusual to see this scene."

"Get out." Jiang Shiqing took the black mask in his hand and threw it over.Gu Nanxing caught the thrown black cloth and laughed triumphantly.

Jiang Shiqing took a deep breath, leaned his back against the pillar behind him, and said, "Yuan Mucheng has a lot of thoughts on his mind, and he also hopes that something will happen to Cen Yu, so that the prison secretary will not be peaceful. He helped me today because he felt that I It's still useful to him."

"How to say?" Gu Nanxing asked.

"There is still no explanation for the assassination of the emperor. The clues are broken in the mouths of two people. One does not admit it, and the other does not recruit. Everyone in the court is anxious. If the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Criminal Justice cannot give an explanation, they will be impeached by the Overwatch Council if they are not careful. But the matter of the Sand Snake is so important that it is not appropriate to put it on the table at this time. After Yuan Mucheng was attacked that night, he must have used methods to dispose of the body , so I don’t see any rumors from the court.”

Jiang Shiqing slowed down, and then said: "Even if Cen Yu is really convicted, to Yan, it is just a matter of throwing away a pawn. After all, Cen Yu himself proposed the gift, and Yan did not participate in it from the beginning to the end. Besides, the Empress Dowager is the emperor's biological mother, and most of the power in the court is now in the hands of the Yan family, what can others say. The best result at the moment is to settle the case as soon as possible, so that the forces of Sha Snake and King Yin can temporarily relax. Wang should have wanted to get rid of Lai Chang as soon as possible, but he was afraid that it would be too risky to make a move in front of the Governor's Mansion, so he was still waiting for the opportunity to make a move. If someone could start a storm at this time, wouldn't it be It's fueling the flames. How could Yuan Mucheng be unhappy when he reaped benefits without doing anything?"

"You are sober, but he doesn't know that we are on the same boat. This time we are still friendly, but there is no guarantee that we won't turn our backs and deny people next time." Gu Nanxing stretched out his foot and kicked Jiang Shiqing's boots lightly, saying, "You When are you going to tell him?"

Jiang Shiqing said: "Even later, I'm afraid he still won't believe me if I tell you now."

"Okay, anyway, I'm only in charge of doing things, I don't need to worry about these verbal things, let's go."

After finishing speaking, Gu Nanxing spread the face towel on Jiang Shiqing's knees, stretched his back and walked towards the corner of the corridor.

Jiang Shiqing was sitting alone, and in an instant, the sound stopped, the cold light receded, and the darkness just dipped into his face.

A gust of wind passed by his cold fingertips, carrying the heat of the touch to the boundless distance.

So it will stay tonight, not tomorrow.

-

Cen Yu's body was quickly cleaned up, and the statement was roughly unified as "fleeing and committing suicide in fear of crime after being captured".And that night, Song Bing rushed to the back wall of the Ministry of War one step ahead of the prisoner's history. In order to prevent the clues from being discovered later, he used the prepared phosphorous powder to ignite the corpse that had been placed here in advance. What he told others was that the two After a fight, the assassin was seriously injured. Seeing that the situation was not good, he sprinkled phosphorous powder, and then lit a fire to burn him with him.

Both bodies were there, and it was a fact witnessed by so many eyes that someone sneaked into the criminal prison to help Cen Yu escape from prison. The flying blade used by the assassin was the same as the murder weapon found in the forest after Yuan Mucheng was attacked. The case has not been settled for a long time, and the queen mother is in a hurry, and the government and the people all hope that Cen Yu will plead guilty and be executed as soon as possible.

Now the evidence is right in front of us, no matter how stupid the statement "Cen Yu is behind the scenes" is, it has become a fact. For the courtiers, it must be fixed in advance so as not to affect themselves. Anyway, the case is wrong If they can overturn the retrial, whether Cen Yu's reputation is good or not is none of their business.

At present, the only threat that the emperor can see around him is Lai Chang. No matter whether the governor's mansion can try him or not, as long as he guards him well before he is convicted, he can get away with it at worst.
