auspicious time has come

Chapter 209 Didn't offend anyone

There was silence everywhere, only the sound of insects and the breathing of the two of them.

When he fell, he turned half sideways in an emergency, and Wang Jingyong, who was supported by his hands, seemed to hear the sound of his own heartbeat at this moment, which was better than the sound of war drums.

He froze for a moment, then raised his head slightly and looked at the person below him.

The four eyes met, and the two immediately came back to their senses, one raised his hand and pushed the other away, and the other stood up sideways.

"Why did you jump in all of a sudden!" Gu Tingnan sat on the ground half propped up, his face wrinkled in pain.

Standing aside, Wang Jingyong also frowned: "You...how are you, don't you sleep in the middle of the night? What are you doing standing under the tree?"

"What's wrong with me watching the moonlight in my own courtyard?"

Moonlight?

Wang Jingyong looked up at the hairy-eyed moon, and muttered, "What moonlight is there to admire..."

"Vice General Wang hit someone, but didn't even say sorry?"

Only then did Wang Jingyong say: "Oh, I'm sorry."

Gu Tingnan stretched out his hand towards him.

Deputy General Wang was on guard immediately: "...what are you doing?"

Gu Tingnan smiled unbearably and said, "How long do you want me to sit on the ground?"

The phrase "Can't you get up by yourself?" came to his lips, but seeing her gasping for air in pain, Vice General Wang chose to be a human being, and stretched out his hand to pull her up.

The woman's hands are slightly cold.

But holding it in his hand at this moment seemed extremely hot to him.

Also burning was the side face that she... bumped into just now.

After pulling him up, Wang Jingyong immediately withdrew his hand and asked dryly, "Are you all right?"

"Nearly being crushed to death by you, you said it's all right?"

"The wall isn't too high, and I avoided it on purpose just now, so I won't kill anyone—" He had an air of "Don't try to blackmail me".

Gu Tingnan just thought it was funny, and stared at his serious face for a moment.

"Hi—" It took her a while to make a sound.

"What?" Wang Jingyong turned to look at her.

"You didn't lose your mind just because you hit me just now, did you?"

Wang Jingyong's eyes widened in shock: "Create something out of nothing!"

Gu Tingnan supported his painful lower back with one hand, and asked him with a smile: "Then why are you standing here motionless without making a sound?"

"?" Vice-General Wang was stopped by the question, and subconsciously looked around, somewhat at a loss.

yes?

Why is he standing here?
What is he doing here!
Seeing that he was in a hurry, Gu Tingnan kindly reminded him: "Send a message?"

"...Yes!" Wang Jingyong nodded hastily.

The next moment, meeting her eyes that were holding back a smile, Vice General Wang couldn't help but feel his whole body split open: "!"

Not what she thought!
He is not the kind of useless person who will be blinded by beauty and be ineffective in doing things!
"It's the general who asked me to bring a message!" He didn't want to linger for a moment in this weird atmosphere: "I'm afraid you may fall asleep and fail to read the letter in time, so you will have to climb over the wall and come in... I apologize for any offense."

Gu Tingnan said leisurely: "Of course you offended me, but it's not because of this, right?"

Wang Jingyong's expression was messed up, and he hesitated for a long time before saying, "It's purely an accident... what do you think?"

It can't be... So let's do the act of removing the father and keeping the son for him!
Thinking of this, Vice General Wang's eyes showed fear.

"What do I think..." Gu Tingnan pretended to think about it seriously, and said, "I still can't think of it for a while, and I'll tell you when I think about it."

Hearing this, Wang Jingyong felt that life would be worse than death.

He is very good at interrogation, how can he not know that beheading is only a moment in the execution ground, and the suffering before beheading is often the most terrifying!

This woman's intentions can be called vicious!

Gu Tingnan no longer teased him: "You haven't said anything yet, what are you going to say? If it's about the day, Ah Heng already knows it."

Only then did Wang Jingyong open his mouth to explain his purpose.

A quarter of an hour later, Heng Yu was awakened softly by Cui Huai from her sleep: "Girl, girl..."

Heng Yu opened her eyes in a half-dream and half-awake state: "What's wrong?"

"Wake up, Lord Xiaohou is here..."

Hearing this, Heng Yu sat up abruptly: "He's here? Where is he?"

Subconsciously, he used his fingers to comb the messy hair in a hurry.

Cuihuai wanted to laugh: "Don't panic, Lord Xiaohou is waiting for you outside the mansion."

Heng Yu immediately got off the bed with bare feet, and said joyfully, "Dress and comb my hair quickly, the simpler the better, the sooner the better."

Cuihuai replied "yes" with a smile.

Not long after, Heng Yu quickly walked out of the house, and saw Gu Tingnan when he got out of the yard: "Sister Gu——"

Gu Tingnan waved at her, and when Heng Yu approached, he saw a black figure standing behind her: "Deputy General Wang?"

Wang Jingyong bowed his hands to her, and said in a low voice, "Painter Ji, please follow me."

Hengyu nodded.

Wang Jingyong led the way, but stopped after walking a few steps, and said later: "...Sorry, I just realized that I came in over the wall, and I don't know the way to your residence."

Heng Yu has long been accustomed to his unusual sensitivity, so he hurriedly asked, "Where is he?"

"Go out from the back door of your mansion, and you will see the general."

Heng Yu quickly walked in the front.

Vice-General Wang who followed couldn't help torturing himself in the depths of his heart—so, the effect of coming here with Gu Tingnan is...?
The answer was that it didn't work.

Vice General Wang fell into unspeakable self-doubt.

Hengyu walked briskly all the way, Cuihuai held the lamp and had to trot to catch up.

The back door of Ji's house was opened, and several people walked out. Wang Jingyong pointed to a pavilion not far away: "The general is here."

Heng Yu ran over.

"What are you doing?" Gu Tingnan grabbed Wang Jingyong who was about to go forward.

Cuihuai also smiled knowingly and stopped, waiting aside.

The moonlight is not bright, and the vision is dim and hazy.

But this didn't stop Hengyu from running into the pavilion, joyfully pounced on the figure, and hugged him tightly.

Xiao Mu let out a muffled hum with a low smile after being bumped by her.

"Injured?" Heng Yu came back to his senses, immediately let go of him, supported his arm with both hands, and asked, "Did they torture you?"

"It's just a flesh injury." Xiao Mu instead pulled her into his arms, hugged her, and said in a warm voice, "Ah Heng, I made you worry about me."

Hengyu pushed him away in a puzzled way, and pulled him to sit down on the bamboo stool in the pavilion: "Since you have an injury on your body, why not sit and talk—is it really just a flesh injury? I will ask later Doctor Yan, if you know you are lying, you should know the consequences."

Hearing that she threatened him, Xiao Mu showed a smile, looked at her and said, "You don't believe me, or I will take off my clothes and let you check it yourself?"

Heng Yu looked at him without showing any weakness: "You are not afraid of the cold, just take it off?"

Anyway, she didn't suffer from seeing it.

Just watch it early and watch it late.

Xiao Mu made a gesture and put his hand on the collar of his robe. After a while, he finally lost the battle: "It's not appropriate to be in public. I'll let you check it out when I find the right time—"

"You should say that it's windy here, and it's easy to suffer from wind and cold when you take off your clothes." Hengyu continued: "Since you have come, why don't you go home, what kind of wind is blowing here?"

"Entering the mansion late at night, breaking into the boudoir privately, is not what a gentleman would do."

Heng Yu looked at him suspiciously: "But didn't you let Vice General Wang go?"

"That was him, not me." Xiao Mu said earnestly, "If your grandmother or elder brother finds out about it later, you can use him as a scapegoat to slightly preserve my image."

Hengyu: "?"

Vice General Wang did not offend anyone.

"Xiao Jingshi, were you so treacherous when you were young?" She asked politely.

The man was calm and confident: "It's just a matter of adapting to the situation and adapting to the situation. In the end, I will ask to marry the wife of Ji's family, not him."

Heng Yu couldn't help being infected by his brazenness: "It's fine, when we get married in the future, remember to let Vice General Wang sit at the table."

She seems to have never known what shyness and avoidance are. He said that in the future he asked to marry a lady from the Ji family, and she involved the arrangements for marriage——

The two sat next to each other, he pulled her towards him, and she leaned on his shoulder.

The moonlight is dim and few, but the mood of the people under the moon is bright and peaceful.

After leaning like this for a long time, no one was in a hurry to break the silence. They just let the moonlight fall quietly, the night wind blow gently, and time flow slowly.

"You have just returned to the mansion, why are you in such a hurry to come here in the middle of the night, and people from Dali Temple are watching." Heng Yu said softly.

"I'm afraid that if you miss it in your heart, you won't be able to sleep."

"I slept soundly, it was Cui Huai who woke me up."

Xiao Mu let out an "oh" and said, "It's a pity that I made this trip to disturb your rest?"

"Why, I've been terrified for you for so long, and today I learned that you're out of danger, why don't you let me have a good sleep?"

Xiao Mu laughed: "How dare you not allow it."

"Since you entered the Dali Temple, I have had many nightmares. Last night I dreamed that Jiang Zhengfu went to the dark room of the Dali Temple to find you and wanted to kill you..."

Xiao Mu said: "You don't seem to be dreaming, but you seem to have placed eyes on me—"

Heng Yu was startled when he heard that, and turned around to look at him: "He really went looking for you?"

"Yes, just last night." Xiao Mu said, "But it wasn't to kill me."

Heng Yu was puzzled: "Then he..."

"He asked me three questions." Xiao Mu couldn't hide it from her: "The first question is whether King Hedong was killed by me, if it wasn't for me, who knows who framed me—"

Heng Yu frowned in thought.

"Of course I answered that I wasn't the one who killed me." Xiao Mu repeated his answer: "As for the person who framed me, I don't know who it is, but from the current point of view, it's not Linggong—"

Heng Yu nodded slightly: "That's right, if it is really his design, according to his temperament, there is no reason to ask more... Just take it step by step, and you will be convicted in today's hall."

Therefore, the suspicion of Jiang Zhengfu can be roughly ruled out now.

"What about the second question?" Heng Yu asked.

Xiao Mu recalled the meeting in the dark room last night, Jiang Zhengfu asked him in a steady voice—"If the charges are settled, do you have any other way out? Even though you seem to cooperate everywhere in Dali Temple, the old man also I don’t believe you will be the one waiting to die.”

He replied: "Ling Gong doesn't believe it, if I say no, it seems meaningless."

After that, they stared at each other for a long time in the dark.

Then, the other party asked him the last question: "Back then... was there any truth to the death of my son Yun Chao?"

He was silent for a moment before answering.

"It is true that there is another truth. Young Master Ling was poisoned to death in a strange way in the Jin army camp back then. However, Xiao is still secretly investigating who is the real culprit, so there is no conclusion yet."

What responded to him at that time was a longer and more depressing silence.

Hengyu was a little surprised: "He noticed that the cause of Jiang Langjun's death is different?"

"It was Rong Ji who mentioned—" Xiao Mu said in words.

"Then...he knows the identity of Doctor Yan's original family servant?"

"Yes. But Rong Ji was astute and did not expose my affairs." Xiao Mu said: "It is said that the condition of the Jiang family girl is not very optimistic. Although he lost his identity, he didn't hurt him at all for the time being."

Heng Yu nodded clearly.

"On the one hand, he wanted to borrow the help of Doctor Yan to try to save Sister Jiang's life. On the other hand, since he had doubts about Mr. Jiang's death, he would not be willing to deceive himself and others. He must investigate to the end, and you know the inside story right now. The person with the most... Even, if it is really found out that the murderer is someone else, then his hatred for Xiao Mu will not be established."

Heng Yu analyzed and looked at Xiao Mu: "Did you talk to him about other things?"

Xiao Mu nodded: "Of course this game is aimed at me, but the other party intends to sow dissension and kill people with swords, and the saint and him are both swords in the eyes of others——Jiang's family is a century-old noble family, his background and talent are very comparable, and he is very talented. Pride is high, and I am not willing to be used by others."

"Even if he doesn't believe all of your words, as long as he believes three points, he won't be willing to misplace the real behind-the-scenes person." Heng Yu said: "That's why he will fight against all opinions today and allow you to return The Dingbeihou Mansion... is for the people behind the scenes to see."

"That's right. The people behind the scenes will see that the plan has failed, and they must do something—"

"So, you have reached a consensus with Jiang Zhengfu this time, and you made a scene together to attract the person behind the scenes?" Heng Yu was inexplicably emotional.

Xiao Mu looked at the night outside the pavilion: "It's okay to get what we need from each other."

"Looking at this point, the real murderer of your family's affair with my grandfather may not be him..." Heng Yu thought for a while, but then stopped: "There is no need to make a conclusion right now, just be more prepared." Some, no harm."

Xiao Mu let out a "hmm", and pulled himself back from the short memories of the past.

"Are you really not seriously injured?" After talking about business, Heng Yu confirmed again.

"Really." Xiao Mu smiled: "I wish I could receive some decent punishment, so that I can show you misery and gain your concern. But the young minister of Dali Temple who was in charge of interrogating me never let anyone do anything to me from the beginning to the end. With heavy punishment."

"Young Minister of Dali Temple..." Heng Yu pondered for a moment, then suddenly understood, and lowered his voice: "He is from His Highness the Crown Prince."

Xiao Mu looked at her with a smile: "My Ah Heng is very familiar with the relationship between North Korea and China."

Heng Yu is also not modest: "That's natural. I have done my homework seriously in the secret investigation of A Weng's affairs all these years."

She said, looking at the person beside her with belated awareness: "So, while you have reached a consensus with Jiang Zhengfu, at the same time, you have been secretly taken care of by His Highness the Crown Prince's people. It can be seen that His Highness the Crown Prince protects you. There's no way something really happened, right?"

"More than that." Xiao Mu looked at her and said with a smile in his eyes: "There is one more important thing——"
