I'm a bully in troubled times

Qi Ranming frowned suddenly, raised his hand and wanted to give Jiang Yu a slap, but remembered that he was injured, so he had to withdraw his hand, turned his face away and said: "Suiyang Lord, please respect yourself."

Although Qi Ranming's expression didn't change much, and his tone was not intense, Jiang Yu just felt that he was angry. He didn't take it ashamed, but found it interesting to provoke Qi Ranming, and continued with a light smile:

"Tell me, if you hadn't been interested in me, why would you look like an abandoned woman, as if I had forgotten the vows between us, and still sacrificed your life to save me... This is really a touching truth."

"Abandoned woman's face?" Qi Ranming unconsciously opened his eyes wide as if he heard something unbelievable. When he saw the playful smile in Jiang Yu's eyes, he slapped Jiang Yu's chest angrily. Just pushed him away, not too hard.

"Jiang Yu!" Qi Ranming became angry, and unconsciously raised his voice.

This was the first time Qi Ranming called Jiang Yu by his name directly.

"Hiss!" Jiang Yu gasped exaggeratedly in pain, "Ma'am, don't be so rough."

With a sound of "Keng", Qi Ranming pulled out his sword by an inch, and stared at Jiang Yu coldly: "You try again."

Jiang Yu: "Madam..."

The sword in Qi Ranming's hand tightened tightly, and his eyes staring at Jiang Yu were almost on fire, but he didn't really draw the sword no matter what.

Jiang Yu put it away as soon as he saw it, and said repeatedly: "Don't be so serious, you are a wounded man, what kind of sword do you draw, it's so dangerous, put it away quickly."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand to push Qi Ranming's sword back on his own initiative, and pressed his palm against Qi Ranming's slightly cold back.

Qi Ranming retracted his eyes bitterly, let go of the hand holding the sword, and snorted coldly: "Don't you have something to tell me? Tell me quickly."

Jiang Yu casually said: "Tomorrow morning, I plan to enter the palace to meet the Marquis Jin. Since you have personally experienced this assassination, you will pretend to be my guard and go to the palace with me, how about it?"

Qi Ranming refused without even thinking about it: "No."

Jiang Yu's complete refusal without thinking was beyond Jiang Yu's expectation. Jiang Yu's heart moved, and he asked, "Why don't you go?"

Qi Ranming: "This has nothing to do with you, Lord Suiyang."

Jiang Yu knew that he had gained popularity just now, and said with a smile, "You can call me Jiang Yu, you don't have to always call Sui Yang Jun so unfamiliar."

Qi Ranming was about to draw his sword again, but Jiang Yu pushed it back: "All right...you won't go if you don't go, and you won't go on the day of Marquis Jin's birthday?"

Qi Ranming: "No."

Jiang Yu was amazed: "Then why are you following me to the Kingdom of Jin?"

Qi Ranming didn't change his face and said: "Didn't I owe you ten taels of silver?"

Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the words, and quietly looked at Qi Ranming who opened his eyes and said nonsense, a smile gradually spread from his lips, after a while, he let go of his hand, and laughed softly: "Who said ten Two, isn’t it 60 taels?”

Qi Ranming almost forgot that there is still 50 taels for the carriage: "Oh, then 60 taels."

Jiang Yu: "But you promised me before that after you come to Quwo, you will follow me and you are not allowed to run around. If you don't follow me to the palace, how will I know if you have run around? Those servants can't stand you. Let you go." I don’t feel at ease if I move freely by myself.”

Qi Ranming frowned tightly, thinking that Lord Suiyang was too suspicious, looked at Jiang Yu and said, "How are you doing?"

Jiang Yu: "Naturally follow me and go together."

Qi Ranming stroked the hilt of the sword in his hand, as if he was in deep thought. Jiang Yu thought he would not agree, but after a long while, Qi Ranming still nodded: "Yes."

Jiang Yu put Qi Ranming on Qi Ranming's shoulder with a smile: "Then, see you tomorrow."

After Qi Ranming left, Jiang Yu stared at his palm for a while, feeling that Qi Ranming was inexplicably cute tonight, he smiled and shook his head, turned off the light, and fell asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Yu and Liu Shou went to the palace together to meet Jinhou Ji Mengming. Qi Ranming and Gongsun Ke both went with Jiang Yu as Jiang Yu's entourage.

The news of Jiang Yu's assassination last night had already spread among the Jin princes and nobles at dawn, and for a while there was an undercurrent in Quwo.It is unbelievable that such a thing could happen in the dignified state capital of Jin.

As for who is the mastermind behind the assassin, there are various speculations from all parties, but there is no clue.

Being able to avoid Quwo's ​​imperial guards, understand the layout of the post house, and know Jiang Yu's room, this places a lot of restrictions on the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes, and it is by no means something outsiders can do.But it doesn't make sense to say that it was done by people inside Jin.

After all, Jiang Yu was assassinated in Quwo, what good did it do for Jin?

Regardless of whether the murderer is from Jin or not, the relationship between Yan and Jin will deteriorate again.

When I wake up in the morning, the rain last night has stopped, the ground is wet, and the air is filled with cool and soft water vapor, which is entangled among the lush willow leaves, and with the morning wind blowing on the face, the wind is mixed with With the elegant fragrance of peach blossom and pear blossom.All of this is different from the cold north wind in Yan Kingdom. No wonder Beidi wants to rule the Central Plains.

When entering the palace, because Lord Suiyang was frightened and injured last night, Ji Mengming allowed Jiang Yu to enter the palace without getting out of the carriage.

Liu Shou sat in the carriage with Jiang Yu, and Qi Ranming and others followed the carriage.

"Jun Suiyang, I don't think you look very well, is your injury serious?" Liu Shou asked with concern.Jiang Yu's complexion was indeed paler than yesterday's daytime, and his eyes were still black and blue. I think he didn't sleep well in the middle of the night last night.

Jiang Yu shook his head with a wry smile, and sighed: "When the assassins came last night, I was fast asleep. If it wasn't for my fate, I would have been chopped off by them. If the guards came in time, I was stabbed twice, but It was a disgrace in front of the hall, the wounds have already been medicated and bandaged. Fortunately, His Highness Marquis Jin is kind, otherwise Jiang would not be able to walk to the front of the hall with his wounds."

The courtyard was pitch-black last night, and Liu Shou couldn't see exactly how many injuries Jiang Yu had suffered.

Jiang Yu said again: "Last night, thanks to Mr. Liu's help, otherwise Jiang would be in danger."

Liu Shoudao: "I've always been sleepy, and I would be woken up by the slightest movement at night. Last night I heard the sound of fighting in Suiyang Lord's courtyard, so I immediately called a few guards to come. Fortunately, they caught up, and the thieves were not allowed to succeed."

To be honest, the envoys from other small countries didn't move at all last night, only Liu Shou came. This may be related to the fact that the small country is weak and dare not get involved in the struggle between big countries, but Liu Shou's strange arrival cannot completely clear up the suspicion.

When they arrived at the hall, Ji Mengming spared Jiang Yu from kneeling and gave him a seat.

"I got up this morning and heard that there were thieves who assassinated Lord Suiyang last night. I was so scared that I was absent-minded in the morning. Now that I see Lord Suiyang standing alive in front of me, I feel at ease. Otherwise, I really don't know how to say goodbye to the old man Confessed."

Ji Mengming wore a red sandalwood court dress today, which made his fair complexion even better, and there was a worried look on his handsome face.

Besides Ji Mengming, Zhao Di and Shi Xiang were also there.

Jiang Yu raised his sleeve to cover his lips, coughed twice, and said in a low voice: "Thanks to His Highness's concern, Yu was lucky enough to save his life, but if this kind of thing happens again, I don't know if Yu will have such luck."

Liu Shou was the first witness to the assassination last night. He saw the vicious appearance of those assassins with his own eyes, and said indignantly: "Your Highness, when I rushed over last night, Lord Suiyang's clothes were already stained with blood. If it weren't for his two guards Fighting to protect each other, even if I rush over, it will be too late! If Your Highness does not severely punish the perpetrator, what will your reputation be in the future?!"

Ji Mengming glanced at the two guards behind Jiang Yu, paused for a moment on Qi Ranming, and praised nonchalantly: "You are sincerely protecting the lord, Lord Suiyang has you two to protect him, I feel relieved."

"My lords, please rest assured that at the very early morning of this morning, I ordered Mr. Shi to thoroughly investigate the matter. We must find out the real culprit and bring justice to justice on the spot. We will never let Lord Suiyang suffer this grievance in vain. Of course, we will never let it happen in the future It will happen again.”

Shi Xiangdao: "Earlier in the morning, the monarch announced that the ministers would enter the palace to discuss this matter, and the ministers have already ordered them to investigate the suspicious people around the posthouse last night."

"I heard that Lord Suiyang captured several assassins last night, please also ask Lord Suiyang to hand them over to us so that we can investigate the case."

While Shi Xiang was speaking, he raised his eyelids to look at Jiang Yu, and after a pause for a few seconds, he retracted his gaze meaningfully.But to say that he was looking at Jiang Yu, strictly speaking, it was more like looking at Qi Ranming behind Jiang Yu.

Qi Ranming bowed his head and stood there. He didn't know his identity, and he attracted many people's attention for no reason.

Jiang Yu said: "Naturally. But the assassin committed suicide last night."

Zhao Di interjected, "Lord Shi, is it too cumbersome to investigate like this, and be careful of doing nothing." When Zhao Di spoke, his voice was slightly nasal, and the mole on his nose moved as he spoke.

Shi Xiang glanced at him: "This matter is my own concern, since the monarch has handed it over to the minister, the minister will handle it well, so don't bother Mr. Zhao to worry about it."

Zhao Di: "Mr. Suiyang is a distinguished guest. If this matter is not handled properly, who will dare to come to our Quwo in the future? Master Shi, you have a heavy responsibility, and you must not take it lightly."

Shi Xiang twitched his mustache: "Master Zhao, is this the choice of distrusting the monarch?"

Jiang Yu thought in his heart: These two people will not be happy if they don't say a word to each other.

"Mr. Suiyang came from a long way, so he probably didn't bring any medicinal materials with him. I have some good wound medicine here, and Mr. Suiyang should use it." Ji Mengming interrupted the two people's talk, and said, "There is still one in the palace. The old medical officer who has served here for many years is quite experienced in treating trauma, with him, Lord Suiyang doesn't have to worry about his injuries."

Zhao Di said: "Your Highness, let the veterans handle these matters."

Ji Mengming glanced at him sideways, raised his lips and said, "Zhao Qing, Lord Suiyang is not an idler. Of course, this Marquis should personally take care of the affairs of Lord Suiyang. When you need to use Zhao Qing, this Marquis has his own orders. You Just do what you have to do.”

Jiang Yu thought in his heart: Okay, the emperor is tearing up with the ministers again.

Jiang Yu glanced back at Qi Ranming, and found that this man lowered his eyes and lowered his head, with a low-key look that he didn't want others to see, but there was also a mocking smile on his lips.

After saying this, Ji Mengming didn't seem to want to see the two ministers tearing each other apart in front of the foreign ministers, so he waved them off and said to Jiang Yu, "Mr. Suiyang, come with me."
