Su Muzhe

The assassin screamed and fell to the ground. Su Jin took the opportunity to put the sword on his neck.After the other two heard this scream, they all started to take down all the intruders tonight.

The three of them dragged the captured assassin out of the door, and suddenly found that a fish slipped through the net from the eunuch's room that was accompanying him. Seeing that his companions had been captured, the man shot with hidden weapons, intending to kill his companions, Su Heng and the others together.

Su Heng pre-empted the strike and stuck a short knife in the man's neck.The bright red blood spewed out, and Su Jin shook his hands after seeing the red color, and thought, he really is not suitable for fighting.

Ye Xuanli came out of the room and looked at the three people and the assassin in the corridor, not being hindered by the smoke at all.For a moment, Su Jin felt like she was being tricked. This assassination was probably not a one-off.A farce that has long been seen through by the people in front of them.

"Kill it." Ye Xuanli said.

Su Heng and Ye Lingmo raised their swords, but Su Jin's hands were shaking. The assassin on the ground saw that Su Jin was too late to make a move, and tried to grab his sword to resist.

The other three people saw this scene, and Su Heng looked at Ye Xuanli worriedly. Sure enough, Ye Xuanli looked at Su Jin with dangerous eyes.So he hurried to Su Jin's side and killed the assassin with one blow.

"I also ask the emperor to spare Jin'er, Jin'er has never killed anyone before." Su Heng knelt on the ground to plead for Su Jin, Su Jin was already speechless on the ground.

Seeing this, Ye Lingmo also said something for Su Jin: "Father, Su Jin is Su Heng's book boy, if Su Heng can practice on his behalf, he can serve the court better in the future."

"Let's all go down, leave early tomorrow morning, go to Huaixi."

After Ye Xuanli finished speaking, he went back to his room, without unnecessary actions or words, as if the matter had nothing to do with him?After Ye Lingmo closed the door behind him, he came out and looked at the two people who were still kneeling on the ground and said, "All previous efforts are wasted."

Su Heng didn't know what he was talking about, but Su Jin understood that all the hard work he had done over the past few days, because what happened tonight was all in vain.It would be better for the emperor not to doubt, but if he doubted, it would be even worse for his wife and soldiers.

"Jin'er, get up, it's okay." Su Heng helped him up, then turned to Ye Lingmo and said, "Don't think that just a plea will make me forget that you poached my people behind my back. I won't thank you." After speaking, he dragged Su Jin back to the room.

Ye Lingmo shrugged his shoulders, saying that it doesn't matter, the person he wants is Su Jin, not you, Su Heng, so what's the use of asking for your gratitude.He turned around and went to the eunuch's room to take a look. As expected, the eunuch was wiped on the neck by the assassin and killed with a knife.

After returning to the room, Su Heng wiped the sweat from Su Jin's forehead and said, "Jin'er, don't worry, it's fine."

"Let the young master bother you, Jin'er is fine." Even though he said this, Su Jin was still afraid for a while.

"I'll go and talk to the emperor for you, so don't worry, have a good rest."

Su Jin shook his head and said: "My lord, don't bother. As expected, the accompanying eunuch is dead. Neither King Cheng nor you are traitors, and the eunuch is also dead, and the emperor didn't ask anything about the assassin. What I thought was probably wrong. This trip was not to find out the traitor. Since there is no traitor, the emperor naturally has no reason to doubt me. But what is the purpose of the emperor's trip, I can't figure it out. The so-called king's heart is difficult Guess, that’s probably it.”

"Tonight's incident is really a bit strange. If it is as you said, this trip is not to find out the traitor, then there is only one possibility. It was reported earlier that Nanliang State intends to commit another crime. Could it be that the emperor wants to take this opportunity? Get rid of the Nanliang Kingdom's secret forces in Ye Xi one by one."

Su Jin sighed, and continued: "Your Majesty is a chariot and cavalry general, but the emperor didn't let you lead a single soldier on this trip. The hidden guards brought by King Cheng before are probably just the tip of the iceberg, and the large team is probably hidden in the dark. To secretly eradicate the forces of Nanliang. What the emperor has to do is to become that bait. In addition, maybe our route was also deliberately revealed."

Su Heng saw that the person in front of him was depressed, so he comforted him: "From this point of view, it's not like King Cheng said that all previous efforts have been wasted, and everything Jin'er has done is useful."

"My lord." Su Jin said: "Since you understand that I am dedicated to becoming an official, you have repeatedly used you to get close to the emperor, why do you still treat me like this. Su Jin is not worthy of your doing this. What is your reason for doing this?"

Su Heng was at a loss for words for a while, before he smiled and said, "Because you are my book boy, you and Yi Nan are the people I cherish the most."

"Yeah, I'm just a school boy, and I don't even have the qualifications to take part in the examination." Su Jin bowed her head and became even more depressed.

In Ye Xiguo, only the sons of officials and eunuchs can participate in the examination, and someone with an identity like a book boy is not qualified to participate in the examination, and it is even possible that he will never have a bright future in his entire life.If you want to become an official, there is only one way to be appointed by the emperor.

"Don't worry about this Jin'er, I have already discussed it with my father, and I will let you recognize him as a foster father and take part in the examination with Yi Nan."

Hearing Su Heng's words, Su Jin suddenly raised his head, looked at him in disbelief, and burst into tears in panic.

"Young master, what you said...is it true?"

Su Heng wiped away the tears on his face, and said seriously: "It's true. You are not suitable for the battlefield, so you should be a civil servant. Then you will go to court with me. You and I will support each other. If my words and deeds are wrong , you will bother to make a circle for me. I will charge in the front, and you will keep the Su family safe in the rear. That's good."

In a daze, Su Jin froze in place, and the unwillingness and ambition that had accumulated for more than ten years were smashed to pieces by something called warmth in an instant.It turned out that I was too selfish and blinded by fame and fortune. For more than ten years, the Su family had clearly seen their kindness towards me, but they never really took it to heart. Looking back at this moment, I realized that I was completely wrong.

"My son, thank you."

Suddenly hugged by Su Jin, Su Heng was at a loss, stopped his hands in the air, and hugged the crying man in his arms after a while.The unexpected hug made Su Heng even more reluctant to let go, so he hugged him tighter and tighter.

After a while, Su Jin said with difficulty: "My lord, I can't breathe."

Su Heng quickly let go of him: "Yes... I'm sorry."

Su Heng stuttered once in a while, the two looked at each other and suddenly laughed.

In the following month, Ye Xuanli set off from Huai'an accompanied by several people, and visited the entire counties and counties in the southeast of Yexi Kingdom.The route changes frequently, and there are many variables, but a few people gradually understand Ye Xuanli's intentions.It is to completely unplug Nanliang's forces before the war, so that when the war really starts, there will be no worries.

A few people returned to Beijing after January. Su Heng, who thought he could have a relaxing life with Su Jin, was entangled by Ye Yiran, the second princess of Ye Xi Kingdom, who he called a crazy girl.
