Mr. Yin hurriedly pulled the curtain at his hand to stabilize his figure, his small eyes were stretched to the extreme in fright, and he turned his head to look at Wen Chi in a panic: "What's going on!"

Even though they said so, after all, they have experienced a lot. Even if they guess with their eyes closed, they can guess that someone might be coming—or someone with malicious intentions.

Wen Chi's expression was not very good either. He reached out to help Mr. Yin who almost fell to the ground, and comforted him: "Mr. Yin, please wait here for a while, I'll go out and have a look."

Master Yin said anxiously: "Wen Chi!"

Wen Chi patted him on the shoulder lightly, then stood up, supported the roof of the carriage and quickly got out of the carriage.

I don't know where the carriage went, but I saw that the surrounding area was covered with thick snow, a vast expanse of whiteness, which was quite dazzling. From this, the man in black standing in front of the carriage was particularly conspicuous.

The whole head of the man in black was wrapped in a black cloth, only a pair of eyes full of evil spirits were exposed. He held a dagger tightly in his right hand, and it just pierced into the chest of a guard.

The guard vomited blood, and his body convulsed continuously. Immediately afterwards, the guard tilted his head and fell silent.

The man in black drew out his dagger neatly, pushed away the guard who fell on him, then turned his head as if aware of it, and met Wen Chi's gaze.

Wen Chi was stunned, and was instantly stimulated by the strong smell of blood in the air, making his mind go blank for a moment.

He glanced at the carriage walking in front of them, and saw that the four guards who were originally sitting in that carriage had turned into corpses and lay in disorder on the snow, even the two coachmen were not spared.

Obviously, the man in black came for him and Mr. Yin.

However, Wen Chi's intuition told him that the man in black was probably only coming for him.

At this moment, the man in black suddenly used lightness kung fu to fly towards Wen Chi, and at the same time he raised his right hand violently, and the dagger in his hand struck Wen Chi through the air with lightning speed.

Wen Chi's breath was stagnant, and he turned around reflexively, watching the blood-stained dagger pass him by.

The strong wind swept by, and a strand of his black hair was cut by the sharp blade of the dagger, and drifted to the snow with the wind.

Before Wen Chi could take a look at the strand of hair, he suddenly raised his hand to block the man in black's attack.

The man in black was very fast, and he approached Wen Chi in the blink of an eye. Seeing that the first sneak attack was unsuccessful, he quickly launched a second attack. He took out a new dagger with his left hand out of nowhere, without saying a word He stabbed at Wen Chi's shoulder—compared to the deadly attack on the guard just now, he obviously wanted to capture Wen Chi alive.

Seeing this, Wen Chi instantly understood.

This person really came for him alone.

Wen Chi turned to dodge again.

Because the distance between him and the man in black was too close this time, he barely avoided the dagger in the man's hand. If the man in black moved a little further, it might hit his shoulder.

"Wait a minute!" Wen Chi was anxious, and opened his mouth to show weakness, "Brother, I surrender!"

The man in black didn't seem to have expected Wen Chi to beg for mercy so quickly, and there was a momentary hesitation in his movements.

But at this moment, Wen Chi suddenly raised his foot and kicked at the man in black.

This kick can be said to have used a lot of strength.

The next moment, the man in black let out a tragic wail, and his body trembled visibly to the naked eye.

Even though the man in black covered his face tightly with a black cloth, the sharp pain still flowed out from his eyes, and he stared at Wen Chi with a very cold look, as if he was going to swallow Wen Chi alive immediately.

Wen Chi is also a man, just imagining the pain of being kicked makes his skin crawl, but he is not in the mood to pity the man in black at the moment, he takes advantage of the man in black's pain covering his crotch, turns around and run.

In order for the man in black to catch up to him, he purposely only used [-]% to [-]% of his lightness kung fu.

After flying for a while, he looked back.

Sure enough, the man in black chased after him, but his eyes were bloodshot, and his vicious gaze was like sharp needles quenched with poison. It seemed that Wen Chi's kick had completely offended him just now.

Fortunately, after the man in black passed by that kick, his movement was blocked. Even though Wen Chi deliberately slowed down, he couldn't catch up with Wen Chi for the time being.

Wen Chi hung the man in black like this until he flew a long distance before he was ready to get rid of the man in black - he was good at lightness, but only good at lightness. If he started fighting with the man in black, he would Eighty-nine times out of ten, he couldn't beat the man in black, and if it wasn't for keeping Mrs. Yin in the carriage, he wouldn't have risked running so far.

Just as Wen Chi was about to speed up, a pale yellow figure suddenly descended from the sky and landed lightly in front of him.

Taking a closer look, it was Zuo Zhi.

The man in black chasing after Wen Chi seemed to know Zuo Zhi. When he saw Zuo Zhi, his eyes changed suddenly, and he turned to run.

Where would Zuo Zhi give him a chance to escape? With his toes on the spot, he flew up easily like a pale yellow butterfly, caught up with the man in black and hit the man in black with his inner strength. chest.

The man in black let out a muffled snort, unable to bear it all at once, and abruptly fell from mid-air, landing heavily on the snow.

Zuo Zhi landed in front of the man in black expressionlessly.

Wen Chi rushed over to greet him: "Zuo Zhi!"

Zuo Zhi looked up at Wen Chi, and a trace of warmth flashed across her cold eyes. She called out to Mr. Young Master, and when she lowered her eyes to look at the man in black, she suddenly realized that something was wrong. She frowned and said something bad, He reached out and pinched the man in black's chin to stop something.

Unfortunately it was too late.

The eyes of the man in black quickly became loose, his pupils gradually dilated, and he lost focus after a while.

Zuo Zhi's face was serious, and he pulled off the black cloth from the face of the man in black, and saw an ordinary face, with scarlet blood silently overflowing from both sides of his mouth.

Zuo Zhi put his hand under the nose of the man in black: "He's dead."

Wen Chi remembered that Zuo Zhi just slapped the man in black on the chest, that slap should not be enough to kill him... As a result, the man in black died so quickly, he was stunned: "How did he die? "

Zuo Zhi pinched the man in black's cheek, and exerted force with two fingers, forcing the man in black to open his mouth.

Blood gushed out from the mouth of the man in black immediately, and wet Zuo Zhi's fingertips. Without realizing it, Zuo Zhi took out a black pill that he hadn't swallowed from the mouth of the man in black.

Wen Chi looked at the pill, and immediately understood what was going on - when he ran with the crew to experience, he had seen the plot of the dead man committing suicide by taking poison after failing to attack the target in two or three costume crews. He didn't expect this The plot will actually happen in front of him.

Wen Chi's expression was indescribable, but Zuo Zhi stared at the pill and fell into deep thought.

After a long while, Zuo Zhi let out a chuckle, which brought back Wen Chi's thoughts.

Zuo Zhi sneered and said: "They plan carefully, and even the killers they send are specially looking for unfamiliar faces. It's a pity that such small details are exposed in the end."

Hearing this, Wen Chi looked at the pill again, but he didn't see any difference between that pill and ordinary pills.

Zuo Zhi seemed to see Wen Chi's doubts, she took out a handkerchief to wipe off the blood on the pills, and then spread her palms to Wen Chi, so that Wen Chi could check the pills in her palm: "My lord, look carefully, What's written on it."

Wen Chi took a closer look, and saw an even smaller word "flower" engraved on the small pill. In addition, the pill is black. If it weren't for the broad daylight, the words engraved on it might not be seen.

"flower?"

"Yes." Zuo Zhi nodded, looking at the corpse on the ground with cold eyes, "He is the killer sent by the Hua family."

Florist? !

Wen Chi couldn't hide his surprise, and stared blankly at Zuo Zhi.

Isn't the Hua family the mother's natal family of Shi Ye's mother?Not to mention the relationship between him and Shi Ye, just because he and the Hua family have never had any enmity, or even had no contact at all, why did the Hua family suddenly follow him?

Is it...

Could it be because of Shi Ye?

Wen Chi subconsciously thought that this was impossible. Shi Ye was more or less half of the Hua family, and as the crown prince, Shi Ye and the Hua family complemented each other. If the Hua family moved Shi Ye, it would be equivalent to killing one thousand enemies and self-defeating eight hundred... ...Why did the Hua family want to put their ideas on Shi Ye's head?

Soon, Wen Chi remembered what happened in the East Palace, the dead Yueshan, and the dead young man. Shi Ye once said that they were all sent by the Hua family.

At that time, Wen Chi didn't understand Shi Ye's meaning. To be precise, he didn't have any idea about the Hua family, but when he thought about it now, he felt a chill running down his back, and he couldn't help but I shivered.

Wen Chi was full of doubts, but now is not the time to talk about these things. He was escorted by Zuo Zhi back to the place where the incident happened not long ago. Mr. Yin in the carriage was no longer there, so the two returned to Zhou Mansion together. Tell Zhou Zhifu and others what happened before.

Zhou Zhifu was shocked, and hurriedly arranged for people to look for Mr. Yin and deal with other funeral affairs.

After searching for a while, the people of the Zhou Mansion finally found Mr. Yin back.

Mr. Yin seemed to be quite frightened, but fortunately he was safe and sound. Zhou Zhifu, with his heart hanging in his throat, was also relieved to see that Mr. Yin was still alive.

After this incident, everyone who originally planned to work overtime during the Chinese New Year had to take their annual leave in advance.

When Wen Chi returned to his residence, he saw Shi Ye sitting at the table in his bedroom as usual, reading a seemingly normal book in his hand.

Hearing Wen Chi's approaching footsteps, Shi Ye looked up.

Xu is used to staying here, Shi Ye took off the mask on his face a few days ago, although the burn marks on half of his face were still grim, but Wen Chi didn't feel anything after watching too much.

Wen Chi walked to Shi Ye's side in silence, pulled out the chair, and sat down.

Shi Ye glanced at the sky outside the window and said, "I came back very early today."

Wen Chi hesitated and said, "Something happened on the road."

Shi Ye let out a groan, put down the book, and said with a look of eagerness to listen: "Let's talk about it."

However, Wen Chi didn't speak, but stared vigilantly at Shi Ye's open book on the table.

Shi Ye caught Wen Chi's eyes, laughed suddenly, shook his head, pressed the pages of the book with his slender fingertips, moved to Wen Chi, and said innocently: "This is a book I bought myself, not your books. .”

Wen Chi noticed that Shi Ye referred to himself as Bengong and me in front of him at one time, and he was really Changing Sakura without his changing.

And that's not the point.

"What happened to my books? All I read are serious books." Wen Chi closed the book in embarrassment, then calmed down, took out a white veil from his cuff, opened the veil, and inside was the black pill, "Look at this."

Shi Ye, like Zuo Zhi, recognized the origin of the pill with just one glance, but he was much calmer than Zuo Zhi, his eyes and expression were shallow, like a lake that had not stirred up any waves, and the pill in front of him was just an ordinary pill. Just plain old pills.

But after a moment of silence, Shi Ye still asked, "Where did this thing come from?"

Wen Chi told Shi Ye everything that happened today.

Shi Ye listened quietly. Although his face didn't change at all, Wen Chi could feel that the breath permeating his body was gradually becoming colder. His eyelashes were very long, but they couldn't hide the puffiness in his eyes. the chill.

Wen Chi was frightened by Shi Ye's sudden change, shrunk his shoulders like a quail, and asked softly after a long time: "Why did the Hua family come to me?"

Shi Ye asked without answering, "Are you afraid of death?"

This question sounds funny, but Wen Chi still thought about it seriously for a while, and he answered truthfully: "Although I haven't encountered anything particularly interesting while I'm alive, I don't want to die yet."

Shi Ye raised his hand, paused in mid-air, and finally landed on Wen Chi's head. He stroked Wen Chi's soft hair, and his deep voice contained a rare softness: "I won't Let you die, you will live well."

Wen Chi raised his eyes, and met Shi Ye's dark eyes, which contained emotions he couldn't understand.

Then, he suddenly turned his head to avoid Shi Ye's hand on his head.

Shi Ye just froze for a moment, didn't say anything, and took his hand away calmly.

Wen Chi asked him, "Will I die?"

Shi Ye said: "Their target is me, and the reason they are following you is because they want to threaten me with you."

After receiving this answer, Wen Chi was a little speechless. He didn't know how the Hua family came to this conclusion, but this conclusion was a bit too funny. The Hua family overestimated his weight in Shi Ye's heart.

Thinking of this, Wen Chi couldn't help feeling a little sour in his heart, he had no choice but to suppress these emotions as much as possible.

"You said that their target is you..." Wen Chi finally asked out the doubts in his heart, "What do you mean? Isn't your mother the Hua family? Aren't you a family?"

This remark caused Shi Ye to chuckle disdainfully: "Who says I'm a family with them?"

Warm the pool.

Shi Ye said very easily: "They sent me back to the palace, intending to train me to be their puppet against the royal family. Unfortunately, not only did I not do what they wanted, but they suppressed them everywhere. Now they know they can't control me. He wanted to drag me down."

Wen Chi scratched his head: "But if something happens to you, the Hua family will suffer a lot."

Shi Ye shook his head lightly: "If I'm gone, the Hua family will be depressed for a while at most before they can make a comeback and train new puppets. If I'm still around, they will always be suppressed by me."

As he said that, Shi Ye seemed to think of something suddenly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more mocking, "Have you forgotten how the Hua family pushed Hua Yanrong to the back? As long as the Hua family's ability is still there, they will always There will be a comeback one day, and I'm just a chess piece that does more harm than good."

Wen Chi was too shocked to speak.

Even at this moment, a bold guess slowly emerged in his mind—is the person who overthrew Shi Ye's tyrannical rule in the original novel really Shi Jin?Could it be that the Hua family is still behind the scenes?

The plot shown in the original novel is just the plot that the author wants readers to see, and the characters in the original novel are just paper people fabricated by the author——Wen Chi always thought so before.

It wasn't until he came to this world that he realized that what he knew about the plot was just the tip of the iceberg. The paper man he thought was actually a living person with thoughts, emotions, and the ability to cry and laugh.

Shi Ye will not become violent for no reason, and Shi Jin will not suddenly change from a meek and unaggressive prince to a brave man who overthrows the emperor's tyrannical rule...

There are different reasons behind all of this, but it's a pity that Wen Chi, who has read the original novel, doesn't know about it.

Seeing that the end of the year was getting closer and closer, Wen Chi, who had taken an early vacation, was free, but Shi Ye was getting busier.

In the end, Eunuch Zhu was urging Shi Ye to return to Beijing as soon as possible with letters every day.

After Shi Ye left, Wen Chi's life didn't change at all... It seemed to have become a little bit boring.

But what Wen Chi didn't expect was that he and Shi Ye had separated for nearly two years, and he had also lived in Jinzhou for more than two years without knowing it.

There were a lot of gossip from the capital, but I don't know if it was because Zuo Zhi and Liu De deliberately blocked it, none of those gossips reached Wen Chi's ears.

Occasionally, Wen Chi would hear from Mr. Yin that the emperor's illness was getting worse, or that the prince was in a situation of embattled people after the emperor became seriously ill.

Whenever this happened, Wen Chi would remain silent, keeping his head down and silently doing what he was doing.

He thought, even if he is a book traveler who knows the plot, he really can't help Shi Ye.

Two years later.

Jinju has been snowed like goose feathers again, and the snow has covered the whole Jinzhou with a silver-white coat.

Even the prefect of Zhou was lamenting that he had never seen snow in Jinzhou for so many years. How could he know that since the country started to deal with the locust plague, it has snowed almost every year, which really added a lot of things to everyone.

Fortunately, the disaster situation has slowed down a lot. When they organized the common people to build protected areas, dig rivers, and plant forests, they recruited a lot of manpower from the people. their food and clothing problems.

Of course, the road to improving people's livelihood is particularly long, and it still requires the concerted efforts of Zhou Zhifu and several local officials.

As for Mr. Yin, Wen Chi and others, they can also hand over the matter at hand to the people below and return to Beijing together.

The road from Jinzhou to Beijing has been covered with thick snow. Although the road has not been closed, it is extremely difficult to walk. The original three-day journey was abruptly dragged to five or six days.

Lord Yin and the others were eager to return home, looking forward to it almost every day, counting the days on their fingers.

Among so many people, only Wen Chi stayed safely in the carriage. Facing everyone's nagging discussions, he didn't even lift his eyelids, closing his eyes like a wooden man to rest his mind.

When Mr. Yin saw this, he thought it was funny, but at the same time, he also felt that he, who had half of his body buried in the ground, was too unsteady, and it was really wrong for him to be anxious with those young boys.

On this day, taking advantage of those boys getting out of the carriage and wandering around, Mr. Yin glanced at Wen Chi who was sitting in a daze in the corner, coughed and said, "What are your plans after you go back?"

Wen Chi came back to his senses, and looked at Mr. Yin blankly.

Looking at Shang Wenchi's fair cheeks and wide-open almond eyes, Mr. Yin couldn't help but think of his own son. His second son was also Wen Chi's age, but he was drunk all day long. Run out to drink flower wine.

In the past two years, Mr. Yin has naturally seen Wen Chi's performance in his eyes. Even when he and Wen Chi were attacked on the carriage, and Wen Chi ran down to distract the killer to protect him, he always kept in mind. mind.

Mr. Yin thought for a moment, and finally said those words that had been hidden in his heart for a long time: "I didn't know whether to say these words, but for the sake of our acquaintance, I still have to tell you. The next time we return to Beijing, although our merits and virtues are not consummated, we have at least fulfilled the emperor's orders. If you are willing, I will make a request to the emperor for you, and ask the emperor to look at your hard work in the past two years. What you have missed, return your freedom."

As soon as these words came out, Wen Chi's blank eyes suddenly became clear, and his expression became joyful with the naked eye: "Is this possible?"

Originally, Mr. Yin was still a little hesitant, but he had seen many incidents where his meddling caused a lot of trouble. Besides, the relationship between Wen Chi and His Highness the Crown Prince was not the one he had seen before. However, Wen Chi's eyes sparkled The surprise that came out flooded him like a tide, and instantly washed away his little hesitation.

Master Yin narrowed his eyes and smiled, "As long as you want, you can do it."

Wen Chi sat upright, and bowed his hands to Lord Yin gratefully: "I will always keep in mind the Lord's repeated help, and if there is a chance in the future, I will return to Lord Yin."

He does want to leave.

At least stay away from the East Palace and Shi Ye.

The mighty people spent five and a half days on the road, and finally rushed back to the capital on the evening of the sixth day.

This time the journey was difficult and far away. Even Mr. Yin, who often traveled long distances on business trips, vomited several times. Wen Chi, who was used to taking airplanes and high-speed trains in modern times, couldn't stand it even more.

Fortunately, Ruofang came to help him in time.

After returning to Beijing, the first thing they have to do is to go home to rectify and rest, and gather outside the palace gate early the next morning to meet together.

Wen Chi was so tired that he went back to the bamboo flute house that Eunuch Zhu moved for him, took a simple bath, ate something, lay down on the bed, and soon fell asleep.

I don't know how long I slept.

Half asleep and half awake, Wen Chi vaguely felt that someone had come in, sitting beside his bed, and gently stroking his hair.

Wen Chi really wanted to open his eyes to see who was coming, but he was so exhausted that he lost all the strength to open his eyes.
