monopolize my master

Three days later.

Ling Xiao and Su Huang lived in the prefect of Jinping for several days on the grounds of recuperating their injuries.Su Huang's injury was not clear, Ling Xiaoyi took care of him for two full days before Su Huang fully woke up.Because there were bandits in the city who claimed to "replace the emperor", the prefect of Jinping ordered to mobilize more than half of the government's troops to surround Su Huang's residence.However, even so, while Su Huang was recovering from his injuries, several dead men risked their lives to assassinate him.Ling Xiao was worried, in addition to taking good care of him every day, he also had to go through his inspection of food and daily life, and he didn't dare to leave Su Huang for half a step.At night, he was really sleepy, so he lay down on the edge of Su Huang's bed to rest for a while, but he didn't sleep well, and every little wind and grass outside the window was enough to wake him up.

"Ling Xiao, it's going to be all right now. You can rest for a while." Su Huang looked at Ling Xiao's black eyes, and couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

"Okay, leave me alone, you can drink the medicinal porridge first." Ling Xiao gently blew the porridge in the silver spoon, and handed it to Su Huang's mouth, "I made this porridge myself, and I also took the silver spoon It has been inspected; the ingredients are also bought from trustworthy people, so there should be no problem."

"You are a little too nervous." Su Huang looked at Ling Xiao who was reporting seriously, and said with a wry smile, "Aren't those thieves caught? Kuang Jinping's mansion is heavily guarded by soldiers, so they shouldn't act rashly."

"No, it's because you underestimated those people that they have an opportunity." Ling Xiao frowned and looked at Su Huang worriedly, "In short, as long as you don't go back to the palace for a day, I will stay here forever." By your side, make sure you are safe and sound." Ling Xiao paused, "After all, it's all because of me and you..."

"Okay, don't say such things." Su Huang hurriedly interrupted him, "I didn't mean to blame you. What happened before... I don't want to ask, it's fine if you don't want to say the reason... By the way, how did the interrogation of those thieves go? Is there a confession?"

"They are very stubborn and refuse to do anything." Ling Xiao shook his head and said in a low voice, "Because the matter is of great importance, the prefect of Jinping ordered people to intensify the interrogation, and some of them were even harshly sentenced, but they never Leak a little news. I don't know if they are well-trained, or they have a clue in the hands of their leader...or..." Ling Xiao paused.

"what?"

"Maybe they really don't know. It's just that someone taught them to say that." Ling Xiao said to himself, "However, it is unreasonable to do so. It is said that such a major event as treason should be done quietly, so what Tell these insignificant people such a confidential matter?"

"Maybe... there is something we didn't expect..." Ling Xiao frowned, unable to think of anything for a while.

"Let's leave it to the prefect of Jinping. He will take care of everything." Su Huang comforted, "If you hold this spoon again, the porridge will be cold, and I will trouble you to reheat it and re-cook it for verification. Come on, it’s very troublesome.”

"That's right. I almost forgot the business." Ling Xiao fed the spoon into Su Huang's mouth, and said worriedly, "Jinping City is not peaceful after all. Just sent away the mission of the Wu Kingdom, and many assassins came again. Waiting for you It's better, let someone send you back to the palace quickly."

Su Huang was stunned, "What about you?"

"Of course I... naturally helped you find out the truth. Also... I came to Jinping this time, just passing by. I was in Donghui before, and there was no progress in Zhang Wenju's pending case... Master and I originally planned to investigate together... ...I don't want such a thing to happen," Ling Xiao turned his face away, "I also know His Highness's intentions... But after all, I swear in front of everyone, and leave the palace privately. There are still your father and emperor in the court. Elder brother, if... I go back so hastily, how can you stop all the talk by yourself?"

"Father and elder brother, I will explain it to you! You don't have to worry about this issue anymore." Su Huang hurriedly said, "I beg Father not to give you a sentence, and take all the wrong things on yourself...Father The emperor didn't make it difficult for me too much...so you won't have to worry about your life when you return to Beijing...and this time, you saved me in Jinping again...Father emperor has always been open-minded and kind, and will not make things difficult for you."

"Xiao Huang, this is not a reason. You only talked about the emperor, as for the concubines and ministers in the palace, and the people of Donghui City, how do you explain to them?" Ling Xiao interrupted Su Huang with a smile, "You It's the prince, such a back-and-forth thing is not good for your reputation."

"I..." Su Huang was speechless for a while, "...Ling Xiao, do you have to do this?"

"Take the medicine first." Ling Xiao fed the porridge to Su Huang's lips, "There will always be a solution, and there is no rush."

"It's so bitter." Su Huang frowned, and the brilliance in his eyes dimmed a little bit, "I don't want to eat, you can take it out. Also, go and help me call the prefect of Jinping, I have something to ask him."

"...Okay. Then you have a good rest. I'll see you later." Ling Xiao looked at the remaining half bowl of medicinal porridge, sighed, and finally retreated angrily.Looking at the guards outside the mansion who were concentrated in energy, Ling Xiao felt a burst of irritability that he couldn't describe.

Seeing that child because he has borne so much, how could his heart be calm?

Thinking of this, Ling Xiao became more and more irritable.He snatched a horse from a servant in a mansion, and quickly flew towards the prison.

At least, there is something I can do for him.

There was a dead silence in the dungeon.Perhaps it was because most of the guards were transferred to guard Su Huang, and there were very few soldiers guarding the prison gate.Probably because the prefect of Jinping was well-trained, he didn't stop Ling Xiao from coming in, and he still performed his duties quietly, standing guard and taking up his duties.

"Well, may I ask where are the traitors sent in a few days ago?" Ling Xiao grabbed a jailer and asked.

"My lord...are you talking about those mountain bandits?" the jailer replied.

"Exactly. I have something important to ask, take me there." Ling Xiao said.

"Yes."

"...Why is the prison so dark this day?" Ling Xiao was a little depressed by the atmosphere here, "Next time, let your magistrates light more torches in the prison. This place is already full of gloom, and if you make it so It's so dark, it's uncomfortably dark."

"Your Excellency said so." The jailer replied in a low voice.

"That's good." Ling Xiao squinted his eyes and continued to ask, "The gang of thieves came here a few days ago, the prison officer Mr. Liu reported to me today, saying that the gang of thieves had very weak bones and beat them a few times. They recruited. It's strange to say that they were originally merchants in Jinping. They were dissatisfied with the harsh taxation of the imperial court, so they prepared to rebel. But they slipped their mouths in front of His Highness, so they were killed. It's ridiculous. By the way, Master Liu is still in the interrogation room?"

"Should... not be here." The jailer said, "Master Liu hasn't come back since he reported to you."

"That's it, but why have we walked for so long and haven't arrived at the place? Maybe Mr. Liu changed the interrogation venue." Ling Xiao couldn't help asking, looking at the bottomless and unattended passage.

"Well... I did order it." The jailer suddenly became a little nervous, and answered intermittently.

"Really?" Ling Xiao still smiled and said, "That's not easy."

"What's wrong?"

Before the jailer could finish his sentence, Ling Xiao's Riyao sword quickly came out of its sheath and rested on the jailer's neck.

"Who are you?" Ling Xiao asked coldly.

"What are you doing, my lord?" The jailer seemed a little flustered, "...Did I do something disrespectful?"

"No, no, you performed very well." Ling Xiao sneered, "It's a pity that your master forgot to tell you that there is no prison officer Master Liu at all."

"I was confused at the next moment, and I remembered my last name wrong..."

"Huh? Still want to deny it?" Ling Xiaotaohua's eyes flashed with murderous intent, "Prison officer? What kind of position is a prison officer? There is no official position of prison officer in the county-level prison officials in this dynasty. You don't know that." do you know?"

"You..." the jailer said angrily, "You... when did you find out?"

"Don't worry about how I saw it." Ling Xiao sneered, "Be honest, what are you trying to do by pretending to be a guard here?"

"You don't need to worry about this." The jailer suddenly laughed, "So what if you see through it? The fish has already been hooked. If you don't do it now, when will it be!"

A large group of guards who looked like jailers poured out from nowhere, all holding long knives, and surrounded Ling Xiao tightly.

"Oh? This was also arranged by Prison Officer Liu?" Ling Xiao sneered, grabbing the guard by the collar, "What exactly do you want?"

"How courageous, you still have the heart to ask these questions when you are surrounded like this." The jailer sneered, "It seems that the leader said that there is a rather troublesome person in Jinping's mansion is not false, we underestimated you."

"Stop talking nonsense," Ling Xiao added a little more force, "Are you recruiting or not?"

"Hehe, to tell you the truth, we got rid of all the original jailers here." The man sneered, "We came here to take the lives of those fools who were arrested under the order of the leader. Our mission is completed, and we don't want you We came here by accident, in order not to cause a commotion, we had no choice but to kill you together."

"Stop fucking nonsense." Ling Xiao's eyes were aggressive, "Coincidence? It's easy to say. I also underestimated you. In such a situation, you can be loyal to your ridiculous leader without fear of death. I admire you. But you don't To be honest, I'm going to get serious."

The man gritted his teeth and said nothing.Ling Xiao frowned, and couldn't help but increase the strength of his sword.There was already traces of blood seeping from the thief's neck, but he still clenched his teeth and did not say a word.And the dead men who broke in around seemed to have been given some orders, but they just drew their swords and stood quietly aside.

"One stick of incense has passed." Suddenly, someone reminded.

"Do it!" The dead soldiers around launched a fierce offensive towards Ling Xiao.Ling Xiao didn't think much about it, he just cut off the dead man's tendon with his sword, and then started fighting with everyone.Tsing Yi flitted among the crowd, even though there were many killers, they couldn't hurt him at all.

A stick of incense?What kind of incense?

Could it be that they set up a game?Their goal is not themselves, but -----

Tune the tiger away from the mountain?Their target is Su Huang? ! ! !

No, no, no, there are so many guards in Jinping's mansion, no matter how many dead soldiers...should not be able to hurt Su Huang.

Even though he comforted himself in this way, Ling Xiao's heart was in a state of confusion.

Their intentions are not yet clear, but since they are from the same organization...there is no doubt that they want to rebel and take Su Huang's life.Besides, it's been about two sticks of incense since I left, how is Xiao Huang now...how?

The more Ling Xiao thought about it, the more upset he became, and he was stabbed twice in the arm again.Ling Xiao yelled sharply, and slashed at the two dead men.

"He's gone crazy."

The rest of the dead men discussed and backed away one after another, and the long swords sternly put on a lore-killing posture, and killed Ling Xiao one after another.
