Chapter 33 Assassination

In the early morning of the next day, the man who had agreed to visit Wangdu together was now indoors. A dark-patterned belt in black clothes outlined the man's stature in a heroic and upright manner. Wu Chou's face was full of gloom and coldness at the moment.

As if intimidated by the master's sternness, the subordinate who came to deliver the letter lowered his head and his forehead was dripping with sweat.

"The envoy of Zhongwei is stationed in Jiangbei under the order of the emperor..." I didn't read the rest of the words, and Fu Chengci's face cooled down inch by inch in the corner of his eyes.

The reply letter soon dried out on the paper, stuffed into an envelope and handed over to the subordinate who sent the letter.

Wei Ye at the side was grinding for Fu Cheng's resignation, seeing this, he couldn't help asking: "But what happened to the second young master?"

Fu Chengci didn't look up when he heard the sound, but threw him the letter paper that just came from above the table.

Wei Ye flustered Zhan Xin, his eyes changed from surprise to disbelief, then to anger, and finally let out a disdainful sneer, full of contempt.

It is understandable that all the dynasties sent officials from the court to garrison in various places.But since the old prince expelled the Xiongnu from the country, the imperial court has never sent officials to garrison. The land of Jiangbei has always been under the control of the Jiangbei king, just like the previous Ji family in Kanto.

Everyone knows that the king of Jiangbei is no longer in Jiangbei at this time, but now, Emperor Chengde not only sent officials there, but also dispatched a thousand guards to accompany him. The people in Jiangbei couldn't move, and they didn't dare to move.

When it was quiet, there was the sound of a black pigeon 'fluttering' outside the house. Wei Ye stepped forward and stretched out two fingers, and naturally caught the carrier pigeon in his hand, took off a small roll of letter box, and brought the news into the house.

Wei Ye presented the things with both hands, "It's news from Pei Shuo."

The crown prince was poisoned earlier, Pei Shuo was ordered to fetch the medicine, it was time for news.Fu Chengci pointed on the armrest of the chair with his long legs crossed on the table, with a tired expression, and his thin lips parted lightly: "Read."

Xiaozhuan's writing was a bit messy, obviously the environment for sending letters was not good, Wei Ye read the words for a while before saying: "The road is blocked by heavy snow, I'm afraid there will be delays."

Hearing the sound, Fu Chengci's eyes changed several times, his expression flickered, and he said coldly: "Anyway, the prince is fine, if this road is difficult, then call them back."

Wei Ye was slightly stunned, "...do you want that thing?"

Lou He gave Lu Yu the medicine to save Lu Yu. He originally planned to wait for Pei Shuo to find Jiangbei's things before supplying Lu Yu. Since this road is difficult, let's forget it.

Fu Chengci lifted his eyelids slightly, and glanced at Wei Ye, who talked too much, with a cold expression on his face, and his voice was like a cold pool of nine seclusion: "Anyway, I can't die for a while, so what's the point of not finding it, and why bother to hurt others? Life?"

After finishing the words, I thought that although his pulse was weak last night, it didn't hurt the root.You can't die if you take good care of it, so the original care in my heart disappeared in an instant.

Wei Ye was startled by his indifferent words, but after thinking about the relationship between King Su and his master, it seemed that it really wasn't enough to cost a few lives.

But thinking of my master resting in other people's room last night, getting up in the middle of the night to make him boil water and prepare clothes, it really makes people dream about it.

There was news from the servants that Lu Qi had woken up.

Fu Chengci almost blurted out a dismissive sentence, but it might be because of his intention to cover up, so he changed the subject: "Prepare some food, I'll go there right away."

He told Wei Ye to send a letter to Pei Shuo, and then he went to Lu Yong's room.

The building of the post station is quite satisfactory, without the nine winding corridors like the big family, the curved pool reflects the moon, and after passing through an arched door, you will arrive at Lu Qi's room.

The man had already changed his clothes, and was a little surprised when he saw him coming. Fu Chengci walked over and said with a smile, "I'm not welcome?"

His lips moved, but he didn't ask what he wanted to ask, and finally turned into a shallow smile, "No."

The portions of Jiangnan dishes are relatively small, and most of them are exquisite. Neither of them is a good food person. After a meal, the joy of sharing food is missing. The two have no intention of discussing family and country affairs or disaster relief. The concubine by the river bank is not as easy as touching each other's sensitive points.

After eating, Fu Cheng resigned and went back to his room.

The remaining anger dissipated immediately. It has been two days, and there is no news of the antidote. Lu Qi glanced sideways at Ruan Dao and joked: "If I can't get over this poison, you can go back quickly." Go to Dazhou, Zhou Tangyin is a bad person, anyway, you don’t like to talk and follow him is a way out, it’s better than you wandering around the world.”

It's unlucky to arrange the funeral as if he was about to die.Ruan Dao frowned when he heard the words, "Lou He seems to have come to the south of the Yangtze River, and I will tie someone here for you when the time comes."

"No." Speaking of Lou He, Lu Yong sat up straight, "This man is acquainted with Fu Chengci, it's better not to provoke him."

Lou He knew Fu Chengci, and Ruan Dao was slightly surprised like Lu Qi before.

The two did not continue the conversation.

Cracking fingers and waiting for the antidote in the yard, the time passed by every minute.

The carrier pigeon followed the sachet to deliver the letter. If it hadn't been found several times before, Lu Qi would have thought that the sachet was fake.After all, the mountains are high and the rivers are long and people are far away. If the national teacher doesn't want him for a while and cuts off the antidote, Lu Qi will either die in Dachu, or he will die on the way to Dazhou.

He has even cleared his calculations, and he doesn't mind bringing more people to the funeral anyway.

On the indifferent face, there was a sinister smile, and there was even a faint look of madness in the eyes, even the rare warm sun could not wipe away the coldness.

Ruan Dao met his gaze, and his heart shuddered. He thought of the sentence he saw in the past: the poison of impotence is breathtaking.

It was almost in the evening, and the fire cloud dyed half of the sky red. The group hurried back to the post station, and a large group of soldiers and horses were sent to escort them along the way.

Disturbed by the movement, Lu Yong searched for the source, and saw Zhang Zhengqing sent a team of soldiers to surround the post station tightly to prevent anyone from intruding, and Fu Chengci's face was ashen, An unstoppable worry filled his eyes.

The door was opened, and everyone greeted the doctor who came out, looking forward to it.

Doctor: "Life is safe. Fortunately, the two wounds are not deep, and the knife is not poisoned. When you wake up, don't touch the water and remember to change the dressing on time. Don't let the wound open."

After the doctor explained, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, especially Zhang Zhengqing, who was so frightened that he almost vomited his lunch. He would never have thought that he would be assassinated by refugees when he took the prince out.They did not bring many guards along the way in a low-key manner, and they let the thieves take advantage of the loopholes.

If something happened to the crown prince, I'm afraid the ten heads of the Zhang family would not be enough to cut off!

Fu Chengci asked the accompanying people coldly, "Where is the murderer?"

"Closed in the woodshed."

After getting the position, Fu Chengci walked there very quickly, without even looking aside, Lu Qi's raised hand could barely touch half of his clothes, and when he turned around, he had already gone far away.

The hands that were frozen in the air couldn't help shrinking, and the corners of the mouth that had been hanging down sank little by little, and finally turned into indifference.

The people who were injured and taken care of by the prince almost had no place to stay. Lu Qi didn't go in but let someone go in and let him know before he left.

After returning to the room, the sky was completely dark, Lu Qi couldn't help covering his heart, feeling that a piece of chest was forcibly gouged out, and even his breathing was icy cold.

All was well, but unexpectedly, after an hour, figures gathered in the courtyard, holding torches, and the flames were soaring into the sky. At this moment, the accompanying guards looked like iron and blood. Against the backdrop of the flames, their faces were cold.

The wound was not deep, and Lu Yu could already get out of bed and walk around.He was wearing a black cloak and his face was pale. Fu Chengci was a little taller than him, standing behind him on the right, as if he was holding the person in front of him into his arms.

What lay on the ground was a dead thing. The white-feathered carrier pigeon gradually became immobile from the struggle of flapping its wings.

"Who's it?" Lu Yu's voice was much lower and hoarse, perhaps because of illness.

The people in the hospital were unable to answer.

Lu Yu threw the teacup on the ground, and said angrily, "Such a beast came to the station on the night when I was assassinated today. If it's a coincidence, you can believe it!"

The people present are all guards carefully selected by the royal family to accompany them, and each of them is a one-to-ten opponent, so there is no need to say much about their loyalty.

Sending letters to others in private is either judging the master or having a ghost in his heart. Who would dare to take the blame?

Everyone lowered their heads, holding their breath, and the courtyard was eerily quiet.

An inappropriate voice suddenly sounded: "Hey, what happened, such a big fight."

Lu Yong walked out of the long corridor, and when his eyes touched the cold and dead things on the ground, there was a trace of subtlety in his eyes, and he quickly returned to impermanence.

Lu Yu bowed to Lu Yu, Lu Yu still hadn't forgotten how he had lost face in the other party's mouth last night, his pale face was stained with a red light of anger, and instead he regained a bit of popularity.

Lu Yu didn't make a sound, so others naturally didn't dare to talk to him. Lu Yong saluted and froze in the air. In the dark, he smiled coldly, and then straightened up regardless of Lu Yu's feelings.

The homing pigeon was pierced by a sword and was still lying on the floor at the moment. Lu Qi looked at it with a dark expression and said: "Dead things are bad luck, throw it out."

"Wait a minute," Lu Yu got up, walked to the carrier pigeon, and said, "I was assassinated by the carrier pigeon, and this carrier pigeon appeared here. I'm afraid it was looking for someone, but I don't know what the master behind it has to do with the assassination of the carrier pigeon." It doesn't matter."

Lu Qi glanced at him blankly, Lu Yu was determined to attribute the appearance of the carrier pigeon to his assassination, no matter how the prince was targeted by the emperor, he was still the crown prince.Assassinating the crown prince is an enemy of the royal family, who would dare to admit to this crime.

He was infatuated, and no one knew about it except for a few people. If he wanted this dead thing, he had to find another reason.

Lu Qi said lightly: "Then what should the prince do?"

Lu Yu sneered and said, "Come here, find out what letters are hidden on this pigeon."

"Yes."

There was no letter box attached to his feet, and Lu Qi couldn't help but follow the movements of his hands with his eyes. He searched layer by layer and quickly found a wrapped pill. Lu Yu took the thing and took it Look, frowning, "That's it?"

The man nodded and stepped back quickly.

Lu Yu asked: "Your brother, do you know what this is?"

Lu Qi: "..."

That is my antidote!
