Dinghai Fusheng Records
Chapter 22 Execution ┃ Execution of Assassin Feng Jun
In the garden of a family's mansion in Chang'an, Xiang Shu coughed a few times.
Chen Xing was still in shock, glanced at Xiang Shu, Xiang Shu's breathing gradually became low, and he looked towards the sky outside the high wall.Chen Xing let go of the puppy in his hand. The dog still had Princess Qinghe's dagger stuck in its chest, and its body was completely cold.
Chen Xing was sad for a while, so he could only caress its eyes and put it behind the rockery.Xiang Shu was so tired that he leaned against the corner of the wall, his eyes slightly closed.
In the early morning light, bells sounded from a distance, and it was already daytime in Chang'an City. The two of them ran into this family by mistake, climbed over the high wall, and broke into this family's house. Clean the yard.
"Come in quickly," Chen Xing said in a low voice, "you will be seen."
Xiang Shu's foot was exposed outside the rockery, but he didn't answer. Chen Xing moved him in forcefully, touched his shoulder with one hand, and felt wet and greasy. Looking at his hand again, he was shocked.
"Why is there so much blood?!" Chen Xing said.
"Shut up..." Xiang Shu finally replied.
Chen Xing quickly turned over Xiang Shu's shoulder, and saw that when Xiang Shu escaped from the palace, he was protecting his back and was hit by several arrows.
At that time, Chen Xing heard the sound of the woodshed in the backyard again, and the young man came out with the firewood. When there was no one there, he hurriedly brought Xiang Shu into the woodshed, closed the door, and took shelter temporarily, and took out the arrowhead for him with a dagger. .
The old wound was not healed, and a new wound was added, Chen Xing's hands were covered with blood, he looked out through the crack in the door, hurried out to wash his hands, and brought back some water for Xiang Shu to drink.
"How to do?"
After the two of them regained their composure, Chen Xing said: "This is too bad, let's kill Princess Qinghe in front of Fu Jian."
Xiang Shu didn't speak, Chen Xing sat cross-legged and said to Xiang Shu, "The last sword..."
For a moment, Xiang Shu strangled Chen Xing's neck.
Chen Xing: "..."
Xiang Shu pushed Chen Xing aside, suppressing anger in his voice: "You were held hostage at that time, if I hadn't hit hard, you would still be alive now?!"
Xiang Shu was extremely angry. Chen Xing had no idea that Princess Qinghe was in the same group as those mysterious people. Judging from the black fire, maybe even she was attacked by resentment. useless.
"Be sober!" Chen Xing said angrily, "Can you blame me for this?"
Xiang Shu roared almost recklessly: "If it weren't for you! She wouldn't have died!"
Chen Xing: "Then you kill me to avenge her! Come on!"
The two were silent for a moment, and Chen Xing naturally knew that Xiang Shu was regretting that he had shot too hard and misjudged his opponent's strength, and he was just venting his anger temporarily.But judging from the last scene, it was obvious that Princess Qinghe was riddled with resentment, and even colluded with the mysterious man secretly.Once Xiang Shu is caught, he will kill himself mercilessly in the next step.
Chen Xing regained his composure and said, "Feng Qianyi, Princess Qinghe, who else is next?"
Xiang Shu finally calmed down and closed his eyes.
Chen Xing said again: "Now we jump into the Yellow River and we won't be able to clean up. Fu Jian must be searching for us all over the city. I don't know who else is behind Princess Qinghe, and the Yin-Yang Jian is still in the palace. I'm afraid they will kill us." Kill Brother Feng..."
"She wants to avenge the Murong family," Xiang Shu finally said slowly, "Since the day Dayan was destroyed by Fu Jian, she has never given up. I just don't know how she got in touch with the Feng family."
Chen Xing suddenly remembered the words Princess Qinghe said intermittently before she died.
Xiang Shu closed his eyes again, and murmured: "It's a pity that she was born as a daughter. Riding a horse with red makeup, riding and archery is not enough for a man, and I will never go back to the grassland..."
Chen Xing recalled Princess Qinghe's words and smiles, judging from the past few days, the friendship with Xiang Shu should be very deep.
"Xian Shu?" Chen Xing said.
The statement did not answer.
"I'm sorry." Chen Xing said.
"None of your business." Xiang Shu said coldly, never opening his eyes.
It was quiet again, Chen Xing said in a low voice, "I'll go out and check the situation."
"Don't go anywhere," Xiang Shu said in a cold voice, "Stay here. The lonely king sleeps for a while, he's too tired..."
Chen Xing was also quite tired. Feng Qianjun's life and death were unknown, and he would probably face Fu Jian's wrath directly. Tortures were inevitable, and he had to find a way to save him as soon as possible.The more serious problem is still in the Feng family, and it is too late to warn the Feng family now.
How many people have to die? !Chen Xing was fidgeting, but Xiang Shu was fine and fell asleep.He wanted to go out to find out the situation by himself, but without the statement, he probably couldn't even go out to the main street, so he had to give up.
Touching the bamboo slips in his arms again, the bamboo slips also disappeared. Chen Xing was very sure that the bamboo slips would not have been dropped while fleeing. Thinking about it this way, the only possibility was that it was something from the world in the mirror, which could not be brought to the present world.
Chen Xing was exhausted, holding a dead dog in his arms, leaning against the pile of firewood, and fell asleep after thinking about it. Before he knew it, his head slipped and fell into Xiang Shu's arms.Xiang Shu held the sword in one hand, and when he was sleeping soundly, he shivered, opened his eyes, and when he saw that there was no enemy, he raised his right hand and placed it on Chen Xing's shoulder.
This day was destined to be the most turbulent day after Fu Jian killed his elder brother Fu Sheng.The news that Princess Qinghe died under the sword of Da Shanyu was strictly blocked, but it still spread like wildfire.In less than an hour, when the Chang'an morning market opened, everyone in the streets and alleys knew the news.
Since Fu Jian destroyed the Yan Kingdom, it was the first day in Chang'an that such a major event shocked the government and the public. For Qin, the Murong family was a force that should not be underestimated.The subjugated ministers, Jing Zhaoyin Murongchui who surrendered to Fu Jian, Fan Yang prefect Murong Ping and Shangshu Murong Wei who came to Beijing to report on their duties, went to court to see Fu Jian at dawn.The descendants of the Murong clan in Xianbei, members of the Tuoba clan who were married to each other, Gou Chang from the Qiang who had a close relationship with the Murong family, etc., all knelt and waited outside the hall.
The Daqin court immediately exploded, because Princess Qinghe in a sense symbolized the connection between the Murong clan and Fu Jian, who was in power. As the elder, Fu Jian even refused to accept concubines because of Qinghe and Murong Chong's siblings.People are so ignorant, and died under the sword of Da Shan Yu Shulukong, Fu Jian must give an explanation to the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty no matter what.
The whole Murong clan was completely shocked when they heard the news, but under the turbulent undercurrent, when they questioned Fu Jian, they seemed to be more vigilant.
Fu Jian had seen that look more than once, and it was so familiar that he couldn't be more familiar.
"I'm chasing the Great Chanyu." Fu Jian's eyes were red and exhausted, as if he had aged ten years overnight, and he said slowly, "Last night's changes, there are many clues, one or two before the period. The Great Chanyu has fled in fear of crime." , only he can tell us the answer."
There are many children of the lowly nobles in Manchu and North Korea, and they are silent, except for the Yuwen family, who has a long-standing feud with the Murong family, with a bit of gloating.
"Your Majesty," Shang Shu Murong Wei said, "where were you when the tragedy happened?"
A few months ago, Murong Chui had his side face burned by the flames in the battle of Xiangyang City, he was still wearing an iron mask, and he was gloomy and silent.
"What do you mean by that?! Do you suspect that I am also an accomplice?!" Fu Jian was furious.
The people standing under the ranks obviously had a look of distrust. Shulukong Da Shanyu arrived in Chang'an, and the city was full of ups and downs on the first day. Fu Jian's fear of Shulukong had already spread throughout the court.The containment of Fu Jian by the Chile Ancient League and the closeness of the two parties have made all the ethnic groups in Chang'an feel uneasy. They are afraid that the next step will be more northern nomadic tribes entering the pass and carve up them at the price of subjugation. In exchange for hard-won benefits.
Murong Chui finally said slowly: "Your Majesty, I heard that apart from Shulu Kong, there are two other Han Chinese among the assassins. One of them escaped from Weiyang Palace with the chief conspirator, and the other was arrested by the palace. Little son, is it true?!"
"Why did Da Shanyu collude with a group of Han people?" Murong Wei asked in disbelief.
Fu Jian answered the wrong question: "Tuobayan has led the forbidden army and surrounded Songshan. The Feng family really fled in fear of crime. The whole family left the city overnight."
"Where is the man?" Finally someone couldn't hold back anymore, "Hand him over!"
"Bold!" Wang Ziye said, scolding for Fu Jian.
Fu Jian replied: "People cannot be handed over to you. I am interrogating you. Within three days, I will definitely give you an explanation. Compared with you and others, I feel more grief in my heart. Go back and think about it carefully, calm down, retreat."
Fu Jian lost his lover, so he no longer cared about the Murong family's rudeness, but at noon that day, the military forces in Chang'an City had already started to mobilize. Alone, all the troops of the Chile Ancient League are outside the Great Wall, even if he raises his arms and shouts, the world will respond, punish the faint king to fix Guanzhong, and do good deeds. The Qing Dynasty bandit helped the Jin Dynasty, and it would take ten days to reach Chang'an by marching hurriedly. Fu Jian Who is taking precautions like this?
Only Murong.
Chen Xing opened the door of the firewood room a crack and looked outside.
This family was unusually quiet, which made him vaguely worried. Could it be that the palace has kept the news?
Xiang Shu didn't lose much blood, so he quickly recovered his complexion, stood up and carried his sword.
"What should we do next?" Chen Xing walked through the corridor, in the huge mansion, the back mansion was empty, and arrived at the kitchen, where there was a ready-made breakfast.
"We have to see the strong side," Xiang Shu said, "confirm his safety, and then try to rescue Feng Qianjun. Since Princess Qinghe has a heart of revenge, it must not be a day. I don't know how many accomplices this group has. The dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, don't talk about revenge, your own life is in danger, you have to make preparations as soon as possible."
Chen Xing knew that once Xiang Shu hid in the dark, with his level of martial arts, no one could touch him.
Chen Xing said: "I..."
Item statement: "?"
Chen Xing said to Xiang Xiang, "I still won't hold you back."
Chen Xing was worried, if Xiang Shu hadn't been protecting himself last night, he wouldn't have been hit by the arrow.
Xiang Shu: "Are you waiting here?"
Chen Xing said, "I'll think of a way to go."
Xiang Shu was silent and seriously considered Chen Xing's proposal, but Chen Xing suddenly changed his mind and said, "But what if Fu Jian doesn't believe you? Do you have to find the Yin-Yang Jian and let him see it with his own eyes... ..."
"He has to believe, he will believe everything I say," said Xiang Shu, expressing the essence of the matter, "If he doesn't believe it, he won't believe anything I show him."
Chen Xing thought it was true, Xiang Shu pushed the woodshed away and went out, the sun was shining brightly, making Chen Xing's eyes hard to open, Xiang Shu looked around and said, "You have to find another safe place to hide."
Chen Xing stopped suddenly, and saw a carriage parked in the backyard, and immediately looked at Xiang Shu, both of them recognized that it was Tuoba Yan's car, and escaped into Tuoba Yan's house by accident last night !No wonder there was no movement throughout the morning. No matter how much the imperial guards searched, they would never search their own general's mansion.
It just so happened that a voice came from outside, it seemed that Tuoba Yan had returned.
"I'll go see him." Chen Xing said.
"Don't court death." Xiang Shu said, "Leave now!"
Chen Xing waved his hand and walked quickly through the corridor.
Tuoba Yan suffered such a severe blow last night, after one night, his whole body was on the verge of collapse.Fortunately, Fu Jian still didn't understand the reason under his anger, and he didn't drag him to prison for punishment. He only informed the whole army, and immediately arrested Xiang Shu and Chen Xing regardless of the cost.
Otherwise, if Princess Qinghe dies, Tuoba Yan will be the first one to be arrested and beheaded. Regardless of his heavy responsibility, Qinghe treats him like a brother. Ba Yan.
Tuoba Yan took a deep breath, covered his forehead with one hand, buried his eyebrows in his palm, sat alone in the hall, gasping for breath, the city is currently under martial law, and the Imperial Army is conducting a large-scale search. Ba Yan committed the crime of dereliction of duty.Seeing that Tuoba Yan was furious, his subordinates were afraid that this young man who was under [-] would do something irreparable on impulse, so they escorted him back to rest for a while, and reported to him as soon as he had any information.
"Tuobayan, I have something to tell you." Chen Xing's voice suddenly sounded.
Tuoba Yan suddenly raised his head and looked at Chen Xing in disbelief.
Chen Xing did not know when he appeared in the hall, Tuoba Yan immediately reacted and stood up, but Chen Xing said: "Tuoba Yan!"
Tuoba Yan gasped and stared at Chen Xing, and said, "You...you..."
Chen Xing raised his hand and said, "If you want to listen, you can listen. If you don't want to listen, tie me up and go to see Fu Jian now." He stretched out his sleeves, indicating that he was not carrying a weapon, looked around, and was alone.
Tuoba Yan didn't call anyone, Chen Xing knew there was still hope.
Tuoba Yan's eyes were red, and he said in grief: "What's going on? Why did Da Shanyu kill her! This is unreasonable! You must give me an explanation!"
Chen Xing took a deep breath, and told him the whole story. Tuobayan felt more and more absurd, but he didn't interrupt Chen Xing, and his brows furrowed tightly.
"This..." Tuoba Yan said, "Impossible! Why would she..."
Chen Xing explained: "She must have been confused and manipulated, Tuobayan, think about it carefully, is there anything wrong with her usual behavior?"
Tuoba Yan got up, walked a few steps in the hall, and suddenly looked at Chen Xing.
"What about the mirror?" Chen Xing said, "As long as I have the mirror in hand, I can prove it to you."
Tuoba Yan regained his composure and said, "I don't know, the situation at that time was too chaotic, you...how is this possible? She is practicing black magic?"
Chen Xing said: "There is another way. Find Feng Qianyi and ask me to confront him."
Tuoba Yan: "The Feng family was empty in the middle of last night."
Chen Xing: "!!!"
Chen Xing approached Tuoba Yan, and Tuoba Yan sat down again, muttering: "Now the Murong family has quarreled, let His Majesty hand over the murderer... Where did Da Shanyu go? He... Even if he cultivated How can you deal with sorcery so hard?"
Sitting side by side with him, Chen Xing recalled Princess Qinghe's special marriage proposal for Tuoba Yan. He could guess that the two of them were siblings and had a deep relationship. Moreover, the assailant witnessed by everyone that night was Xiang Shu. Chen Xing was not regarded as an accomplice, and he couldn't help feeling sad.
Chen Xing thought for a while, then stretched out his hand, which emitted a warm white light, passed under Tuoba Yan's arm, and gently pressed it on his chest.
Tuoba Yan breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was much better, Chen Xing said: "Xiang Shu went to find a way to negotiate with Fu Jian."
It is useless to persuade anyone now, Fu Jian is the one who decides everything, and only by avoiding the sharp edge and explaining the matter clearly can the misunderstanding be resolved.
Tuoba Yan got up and said, "I'm going to give the order to hunt down the Feng family."
Chen Xing didn't have much hope, and asked Tuoba Yan to protect him, covering up the crime of harboring criminals, which was tantamount to conspiracy.And the most important thing to show up in front of Tuobayan is: he agrees with Xiang Shu's point of view, and must ensure that Yin-Yang Jian will not fall into the hands of Feng Qianyi or other accomplices again.
In exchange, he was even willing to go to see Fu Jian directly, and let Tuoba Yan protect Yin-Yang Jian.
Tuobayan glanced at Chen Xing, and said anxiously: "You can't enter the palace now, once you are imprisoned, Murong will try every means to kill you and pay for your cousin's life." He frowned tightly as he spoke, as if he was considering a difficult decision, and then Said: "Or take you as a hostage and force the big Shanyu to show up."
"Stay at my house," Tuoba Yan thought about it, and finally said, "This is the safest place right now."
Chen Xing was very surprised and said, "No! You are harboring criminals..."
But Tuoba Yan waved his hand, went out, called his subordinates to order, but refused to let anyone enter the hall.Chen Xing stood on the side of the screen, and after listening carefully, he learned that he first sent people into the palace to retrieve the mirror from last night, and then led a group of people out of Chang'an to track down the whereabouts of Feng Qianyi's family.
"The Feng family must not have escaped far." After Tuoba Yan came back, he motioned for Chen Xing to take a nap by the couch.
"Are you tired?" Tuoba Yan asked again, "Sleep for a while, I'll get someone to make something to eat."
Chen Xing was inexplicably moved, and was about to speak, but Tuoba Yan explained: "Do you think I protect you because I like you?"
Chen Xing was suddenly very embarrassed, his face flushed, thinking that this barbarian had just made his words so clear, so he quickly waved his hands to signal not to continue.Unexpectedly, Tuobayan said again: "No, brother Tianchi. The most important thing at the moment is not the cause of my cousin's death. Once the hundreds of thousands of '魃' in your mouth are released, the consequences will be serious. You are the only one who can solve the hidden dangers." People, we must never send you into the palace."
Chen Xing breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't expect Tuoba Yan's words to be so transparent, so he served as the commander of the imperial army, which shows that Fu Jian's evaluation of him is not in vain.
Xiang Shu, who was hiding behind the screen, heard this and knew that Tuoba Yan had basically believed Chen Xing's words, so he turned out the back window of the hall and left quietly.
"Thank you," Chen Xing sincerely said with relief, "Thank you, Brother Tuoba."
Tuobayan took out a map and spread it on the table. Out of the corner of his eye, Chen Xing caught a glimpse of the layout of the city defense. Tuobayan sighed again and said, "If my cousin dies, I'm afraid the Murong family won't let it go. Now is the most dangerous moment. We can only hope that the Great Chanyu can untie this knot as soon as possible."
Chen Xing didn't dare to look any further, and was secretly startled. What happened last night might only intensify the conflict between the Xianbei people and Fu Jian. Supporting behind the scenes, if this is really the case, using the help of resentment to create Ba, and the party using the mirror world is actually the Murong family, the trouble will only be bigger.
Fu Jian will face Murong's early rebellion, and Tuoba Yan's situation is also quite dangerous.
After thinking about it, Chen Xing didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only say: "Get the mirror back, I guarantee that it will be absolutely fine."
Tuoba Yan nodded solemnly, and began to re-plan the deployment of troops in Chang'an City.
An hour later, Chen Xing was still thinking vigorously, but Tuoba Yan first fell asleep on the desk.Chen Xing walked over to take a look, and on one side of the table was spread out the "Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing, which he had written for Tuoba Yan not long ago.
At this time, there was a noise outside the hall, Chen Xing hurriedly pushed Tuoba Yan to wake him up, and hid behind the screen.
Tuoba Yan regained consciousness a little, and shouted: "How?"
"I've searched all over Changfeng Palace," the subordinate replied, "I can't find the round mirror that the general mentioned. I asked His Majesty, but His Majesty doesn't remember it either."
Chen Xing's heart skipped a beat, Tuoba Yan didn't say anything, but the subordinate said, "Before I came back, I told the servants to send it to the house as soon as they found it."
Tuoba Yan asked: "What else did Your Majesty say?"
"Your Majesty is discussing matters with Lord Wang Ziye." The subordinate replied.
Tuoba Yan had no choice but to wave his hand to signal them to leave. The more Chen Xing thought about it, the more he felt that there was something wrong. Last night, there were only five people present, Xiang Shu, Feng Qianjun, Fu Jian and Tuoba Yan. Then, in the chaos, who was it to flee in a hurry? took it?
"It's dangerous," Chen Xing said, "Tuobayan, you'd better call back all the troops and defend the inner city."
Before Tuobayan opened his mouth, another subordinate shouted outside: "Report—report to the general! After the Feng family left the city, there was no trace of them anywhere, and their whereabouts have never been traced. The Sixteenth Road official road has sent people to hunt them down along the way."
"It's strange," Tuoba Yan said with a frown, "Feng Qianyi is still a cripple, so it stands to reason that he can't run very far."
Chen Xing said: "The only possibility, there is only one, they hid in the mirror, so here comes the question... Who is holding the Yin-Yang Mirror?"
The imperial guards are the royal guards, and they are very familiar with the land of Gongye. Let alone a mirror, even a needle, they will definitely be able to find it. Now that the yin and yang mirror has disappeared, there must be someone behind it.
"Report—" A third group of people came suddenly, and said loudly, "Your Majesty has ordered that at the Xijiekou Execution Ground, Feng Qianjun, the assassin in the palace last night, be executed at the third quarter of the unitary hour."
Chen Xing: "!!!"
Chen Xing was still in shock, glanced at Xiang Shu, Xiang Shu's breathing gradually became low, and he looked towards the sky outside the high wall.Chen Xing let go of the puppy in his hand. The dog still had Princess Qinghe's dagger stuck in its chest, and its body was completely cold.
Chen Xing was sad for a while, so he could only caress its eyes and put it behind the rockery.Xiang Shu was so tired that he leaned against the corner of the wall, his eyes slightly closed.
In the early morning light, bells sounded from a distance, and it was already daytime in Chang'an City. The two of them ran into this family by mistake, climbed over the high wall, and broke into this family's house. Clean the yard.
"Come in quickly," Chen Xing said in a low voice, "you will be seen."
Xiang Shu's foot was exposed outside the rockery, but he didn't answer. Chen Xing moved him in forcefully, touched his shoulder with one hand, and felt wet and greasy. Looking at his hand again, he was shocked.
"Why is there so much blood?!" Chen Xing said.
"Shut up..." Xiang Shu finally replied.
Chen Xing quickly turned over Xiang Shu's shoulder, and saw that when Xiang Shu escaped from the palace, he was protecting his back and was hit by several arrows.
At that time, Chen Xing heard the sound of the woodshed in the backyard again, and the young man came out with the firewood. When there was no one there, he hurriedly brought Xiang Shu into the woodshed, closed the door, and took shelter temporarily, and took out the arrowhead for him with a dagger. .
The old wound was not healed, and a new wound was added, Chen Xing's hands were covered with blood, he looked out through the crack in the door, hurried out to wash his hands, and brought back some water for Xiang Shu to drink.
"How to do?"
After the two of them regained their composure, Chen Xing said: "This is too bad, let's kill Princess Qinghe in front of Fu Jian."
Xiang Shu didn't speak, Chen Xing sat cross-legged and said to Xiang Shu, "The last sword..."
For a moment, Xiang Shu strangled Chen Xing's neck.
Chen Xing: "..."
Xiang Shu pushed Chen Xing aside, suppressing anger in his voice: "You were held hostage at that time, if I hadn't hit hard, you would still be alive now?!"
Xiang Shu was extremely angry. Chen Xing had no idea that Princess Qinghe was in the same group as those mysterious people. Judging from the black fire, maybe even she was attacked by resentment. useless.
"Be sober!" Chen Xing said angrily, "Can you blame me for this?"
Xiang Shu roared almost recklessly: "If it weren't for you! She wouldn't have died!"
Chen Xing: "Then you kill me to avenge her! Come on!"
The two were silent for a moment, and Chen Xing naturally knew that Xiang Shu was regretting that he had shot too hard and misjudged his opponent's strength, and he was just venting his anger temporarily.But judging from the last scene, it was obvious that Princess Qinghe was riddled with resentment, and even colluded with the mysterious man secretly.Once Xiang Shu is caught, he will kill himself mercilessly in the next step.
Chen Xing regained his composure and said, "Feng Qianyi, Princess Qinghe, who else is next?"
Xiang Shu finally calmed down and closed his eyes.
Chen Xing said again: "Now we jump into the Yellow River and we won't be able to clean up. Fu Jian must be searching for us all over the city. I don't know who else is behind Princess Qinghe, and the Yin-Yang Jian is still in the palace. I'm afraid they will kill us." Kill Brother Feng..."
"She wants to avenge the Murong family," Xiang Shu finally said slowly, "Since the day Dayan was destroyed by Fu Jian, she has never given up. I just don't know how she got in touch with the Feng family."
Chen Xing suddenly remembered the words Princess Qinghe said intermittently before she died.
Xiang Shu closed his eyes again, and murmured: "It's a pity that she was born as a daughter. Riding a horse with red makeup, riding and archery is not enough for a man, and I will never go back to the grassland..."
Chen Xing recalled Princess Qinghe's words and smiles, judging from the past few days, the friendship with Xiang Shu should be very deep.
"Xian Shu?" Chen Xing said.
The statement did not answer.
"I'm sorry." Chen Xing said.
"None of your business." Xiang Shu said coldly, never opening his eyes.
It was quiet again, Chen Xing said in a low voice, "I'll go out and check the situation."
"Don't go anywhere," Xiang Shu said in a cold voice, "Stay here. The lonely king sleeps for a while, he's too tired..."
Chen Xing was also quite tired. Feng Qianjun's life and death were unknown, and he would probably face Fu Jian's wrath directly. Tortures were inevitable, and he had to find a way to save him as soon as possible.The more serious problem is still in the Feng family, and it is too late to warn the Feng family now.

Thinking about it this way, the only possibility was that it was something from the world in the mirror, which could not be brought to the present world.

The Qing Dynasty bandit helped the Jin Dynasty, and it would take ten days to reach Chang'an by marching hurriedly. Fu Jian Who is taking precautions like this?
Only Murong.
Chen Xing opened the door of the firewood room a crack and looked outside.
This family was unusually quiet, which made him vaguely worried. Could it be that the palace has kept the news?
Xiang Shu didn't lose much blood, so he quickly recovered his complexion, stood up and carried his sword.
"What should we do next?" Chen Xing walked through the corridor, in the huge mansion, the back mansion was empty, and arrived at the kitchen, where there was a ready-made breakfast.
"We have to see the strong side," Xiang Shu said, "confirm his safety, and then try to rescue Feng Qianjun. Since Princess Qinghe has a heart of revenge, it must not be a day. I don't know how many accomplices this group has. The dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, don't talk about revenge, your own life is in danger, you have to make preparations as soon as possible."
Chen Xing knew that once Xiang Shu hid in the dark, with his level of martial arts, no one could touch him.
Chen Xing said: "I..."
Item statement: "?"
Chen Xing said to Xiang Xiang, "I still won't hold you back."
Chen Xing was worried, if Xiang Shu hadn't been protecting himself last night, he wouldn't have been hit by the arrow.
Xiang Shu: "Are you waiting here?"
Chen Xing said, "I'll think of a way to go."
Xiang Shu was silent and seriously considered Chen Xing's proposal, but Chen Xing suddenly changed his mind and said, "But what if Fu Jian doesn't believe you? Do you have to find the Yin-Yang Jian and let him see it with his own eyes... ..."
"He has to believe, he will believe everything I say," said Xiang Shu, expressing the essence of the matter, "If he doesn't believe it, he won't believe anything I show him."
Chen Xing thought it was true, Xiang Shu pushed the woodshed away and went out, the sun was shining brightly, making Chen Xing's eyes hard to open, Xiang Shu looked around and said, "You have to find another safe place to hide."
Chen Xing stopped suddenly, and saw a carriage parked in the backyard, and immediately looked at Xiang Shu, both of them recognized that it was Tuoba Yan's car, and escaped into Tuoba Yan's house by accident last night !No wonder there was no movement throughout the morning. No matter how much the imperial guards searched, they would never search their own general's mansion.
It just so happened that a voice came from outside, it seemed that Tuoba Yan had returned.
"I'll go see him." Chen Xing said.
"Don't court death." Xiang Shu said, "Leave now!"
Chen Xing waved his hand and walked quickly through the corridor.
Tuoba Yan suffered such a severe blow last night, after one night, his whole body was on the verge of collapse.Fortunately, Fu Jian still didn't understand the reason under his anger, and he didn't drag him to prison for punishment. He only informed the whole army, and immediately arrested Xiang Shu and Chen Xing regardless of the cost.
Otherwise, if Princess Qinghe dies, Tuoba Yan will be the first one to be arrested and beheaded. Regardless of his heavy responsibility, Qinghe treats him like a brother. Ba Yan.
Tuoba Yan took a deep breath, covered his forehead with one hand, buried his eyebrows in his palm, sat alone in the hall, gasping for breath, the city is currently under martial law, and the Imperial Army is conducting a large-scale search. Ba Yan committed the crime of dereliction of duty.Seeing that Tuoba Yan was furious, his subordinates were afraid that this young man who was under [-] would do something irreparable on impulse, so they escorted him back to rest for a while, and reported to him as soon as he had any information.
"Tuobayan, I have something to tell you." Chen Xing's voice suddenly sounded.
Tuoba Yan suddenly raised his head and looked at Chen Xing in disbelief.
Chen Xing did not know when he appeared in the hall, Tuoba Yan immediately reacted and stood up, but Chen Xing said: "Tuoba Yan!"
Tuoba Yan gasped and stared at Chen Xing, and said, "You...you..."
Chen Xing raised his hand and said, "If you want to listen, you can listen. If you don't want to listen, tie me up and go to see Fu Jian now." He stretched out his sleeves, indicating that he was not carrying a weapon, looked around, and was alone.
Tuoba Yan didn't call anyone, Chen Xing knew there was still hope.
Tuoba Yan's eyes were red, and he said in grief: "What's going on? Why did Da Shanyu kill her! This is unreasonable! You must give me an explanation!"
Chen Xing took a deep breath, and told him the whole story. Tuobayan felt more and more absurd, but he didn't interrupt Chen Xing, and his brows furrowed tightly.
"This..." Tuoba Yan said, "Impossible! Why would she..."
Chen Xing explained: "She must have been confused and manipulated, Tuobayan, think about it carefully, is there anything wrong with her usual behavior?"
Tuoba Yan got up, walked a few steps in the hall, and suddenly looked at Chen Xing.
"What about the mirror?" Chen Xing said, "As long as I have the mirror in hand, I can prove it to you."
Tuoba Yan regained his composure and said, "I don't know, the situation at that time was too chaotic, you...how is this possible? She is practicing black magic?"
Chen Xing said: "There is another way. Find Feng Qianyi and ask me to confront him."
Tuoba Yan: "The Feng family was empty in the middle of last night."
Chen Xing: "!!!"
Chen Xing approached Tuoba Yan, and Tuoba Yan sat down again, muttering: "Now the Murong family has quarreled, let His Majesty hand over the murderer... Where did Da Shanyu go? He... Even if he cultivated How can you deal with sorcery so hard?"
Sitting side by side with him, Chen Xing recalled Princess Qinghe's special marriage proposal for Tuoba Yan. He could guess that the two of them were siblings and had a deep relationship. Moreover, the assailant witnessed by everyone that night was Xiang Shu. Chen Xing was not regarded as an accomplice, and he couldn't help feeling sad.
Chen Xing thought for a while, then stretched out his hand, which emitted a warm white light, passed under Tuoba Yan's arm, and gently pressed it on his chest.
Tuoba Yan breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was much better, Chen Xing said: "Xiang Shu went to find a way to negotiate with Fu Jian."
It is useless to persuade anyone now, Fu Jian is the one who decides everything, and only by avoiding the sharp edge and explaining the matter clearly can the misunderstanding be resolved.
Tuoba Yan got up and said, "I'm going to give the order to hunt down the Feng family."
Chen Xing didn't have much hope, and asked Tuoba Yan to protect him, covering up the crime of harboring criminals, which was tantamount to conspiracy.And the most important thing to show up in front of Tuobayan is: he agrees with Xiang Shu's point of view, and must ensure that Yin-Yang Jian will not fall into the hands of Feng Qianyi or other accomplices again.
In exchange, he was even willing to go to see Fu Jian directly, and let Tuoba Yan protect Yin-Yang Jian.
Tuobayan glanced at Chen Xing, and said anxiously: "You can't enter the palace now, once you are imprisoned, Murong will try every means to kill you and pay for your cousin's life." He frowned tightly as he spoke, as if he was considering a difficult decision, and then Said: "Or take you as a hostage and force the big Shanyu to show up."
"Stay at my house," Tuoba Yan thought about it, and finally said, "This is the safest place right now."
Chen Xing was very surprised and said, "No! You are harboring criminals..."
But Tuoba Yan waved his hand, went out, called his subordinates to order, but refused to let anyone enter the hall.Chen Xing stood on the side of the screen, and after listening carefully, he learned that he first sent people into the palace to retrieve the mirror from last night, and then led a group of people out of Chang'an to track down the whereabouts of Feng Qianyi's family.
"The Feng family must not have escaped far." After Tuoba Yan came back, he motioned for Chen Xing to take a nap by the couch.
"Are you tired?" Tuoba Yan asked again, "Sleep for a while, I'll get someone to make something to eat."
Chen Xing was inexplicably moved, and was about to speak, but Tuoba Yan explained: "Do you think I protect you because I like you?"
Chen Xing was suddenly very embarrassed, his face flushed, thinking that this barbarian had just made his words so clear, so he quickly waved his hands to signal not to continue.Unexpectedly, Tuobayan said again: "No, brother Tianchi. The most important thing at the moment is not the cause of my cousin's death. Once the hundreds of thousands of '魃' in your mouth are released, the consequences will be serious. You are the only one who can solve the hidden dangers." People, we must never send you into the palace."
Chen Xing breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't expect Tuoba Yan's words to be so transparent, so he served as the commander of the imperial army, which shows that Fu Jian's evaluation of him is not in vain.
Xiang Shu, who was hiding behind the screen, heard this and knew that Tuoba Yan had basically believed Chen Xing's words, so he turned out the back window of the hall and left quietly.
"Thank you," Chen Xing sincerely said with relief, "Thank you, Brother Tuoba."
Tuobayan took out a map and spread it on the table. Out of the corner of his eye, Chen Xing caught a glimpse of the layout of the city defense. Tuobayan sighed again and said, "If my cousin dies, I'm afraid the Murong family won't let it go. Now is the most dangerous moment. We can only hope that the Great Chanyu can untie this knot as soon as possible."
Chen Xing didn't dare to look any further, and was secretly startled. What happened last night might only intensify the conflict between the Xianbei people and Fu Jian. Supporting behind the scenes, if this is really the case, using the help of resentment to create Ba, and the party using the mirror world is actually the Murong family, the trouble will only be bigger.
Fu Jian will face Murong's early rebellion, and Tuoba Yan's situation is also quite dangerous.
After thinking about it, Chen Xing didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only say: "Get the mirror back, I guarantee that it will be absolutely fine."
Tuoba Yan nodded solemnly, and began to re-plan the deployment of troops in Chang'an City.
An hour later, Chen Xing was still thinking vigorously, but Tuoba Yan first fell asleep on the desk.Chen Xing walked over to take a look, and on one side of the table was spread out the "Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing, which he had written for Tuoba Yan not long ago.
At this time, there was a noise outside the hall, Chen Xing hurriedly pushed Tuoba Yan to wake him up, and hid behind the screen.
Tuoba Yan regained consciousness a little, and shouted: "How?"
"I've searched all over Changfeng Palace," the subordinate replied, "I can't find the round mirror that the general mentioned. I asked His Majesty, but His Majesty doesn't remember it either."
Chen Xing's heart skipped a beat, Tuoba Yan didn't say anything, but the subordinate said, "Before I came back, I told the servants to send it to the house as soon as they found it."
Tuoba Yan asked: "What else did Your Majesty say?"
"Your Majesty is discussing matters with Lord Wang Ziye." The subordinate replied.
Tuoba Yan had no choice but to wave his hand to signal them to leave. The more Chen Xing thought about it, the more he felt that there was something wrong. Last night, there were only five people present, Xiang Shu, Feng Qianjun, Fu Jian and Tuoba Yan. Then, in the chaos, who was it to flee in a hurry? took it?
"It's dangerous," Chen Xing said, "Tuobayan, you'd better call back all the troops and defend the inner city."
Before Tuobayan opened his mouth, another subordinate shouted outside: "Report—report to the general! After the Feng family left the city, there was no trace of them anywhere, and their whereabouts have never been traced. The Sixteenth Road official road has sent people to hunt them down along the way."
"It's strange," Tuoba Yan said with a frown, "Feng Qianyi is still a cripple, so it stands to reason that he can't run very far."
Chen Xing said: "The only possibility, there is only one, they hid in the mirror, so here comes the question... Who is holding the Yin-Yang Mirror?"
The imperial guards are the royal guards, and they are very familiar with the land of Gongye. Let alone a mirror, even a needle, they will definitely be able to find it. Now that the yin and yang mirror has disappeared, there must be someone behind it.
"Report—" A third group of people came suddenly, and said loudly, "Your Majesty has ordered that at the Xijiekou Execution Ground, Feng Qianjun, the assassin in the palace last night, be executed at the third quarter of the unitary hour."
Chen Xing: "!!!"
