Qingchuan History

Chapter 535 Returning the Plum
In the dark night, the sound of weapons and people approaching and far away, the entire high wall of the post house was full of gunpowder smoke inside and outside, which made the corner of the second floor even more quiet.

Ruan Xueyin held something in her hand.

Gu Xinglang didn't pay attention to when it appeared there, but now that he saw it, he raised his eyebrows and focused his attention.It is dark, with a dark luster, shaped like a plum blossom cut in half, with half a crimson stamen on the edge.

"Is this a Meifu?"

When he asked, he felt it was ridiculous, no matter how much Ruan Zhong wanted to please her, he wouldn't send a soldier talisman.

"Fake." Ruan Xueyin replied, "I used it to save Jingtingge that time. I can't repeat the same trick today."

If it is just a private soldier of the clan, not bound by the plum talisman, and he is determined to intercept people, he will not buy it; if it is Ruan Zhong's trick, then he knows that he has a forged left half of the plum talisman, and he will tell him in advance, and neither will those soldiers who sneaked into Chencang. fooled.

"But you can try." Gu Xinglang said coldly, "Private soldiers are not ordered by the plum symbol, but the officers and soldiers see the left half of the plum talisman as if they were seeing the emperor. You stand on the second floor and tell the officers and soldiers to stop. Listen, at least pause, if no one listens—"

It proves that they are sure that the plum talisman in Ruan Xueyin's hand is fake, that Ruan Zhong ordered it, and that [-]% of the culprits tonight are him.

Is it necessary?She looks at him.

no need.At this point, it is important to take the clan members away alive as much as possible, whether it is Ruan Zhongqiu or not, it will not be too late.

But Gu Xinglang seemed to be fascinated. "You don't want to try. You don't want to be him."

Ruan Xueyin stood up, "I'll ask if it's him. Right now we—"

"Ask yourself." Gu Xinglang repeated this sentence, and stood up, "Yeah, no one can ask, you can ask. After all, you treat him differently. He has been thinking about you for many years and raised an army to win the throne for you. The whole Yuju is full of fragrant flowers, and now the whole Qingchuan knows that he wants you. It's very beautiful. Did he still say that he wants to wait for you, that I have Wan Ling by my side and I will have trouble sooner or later?"

How could Gu Xinglang lose control and say such things at this moment?Ruan Xueyin really wanted to pull him back to his wisdom, but she said in a strange way:

"Isn't it? Isn't Mrs. Yu always there? She is also your wife and you have been in friendship for nearly 20 years. What do you plan to do for such a long life? Keeping a distance like today but caring for each other. I don't know what is the name of the imperial concubine. Is it possible to become an imperial concubine in one day?"

At any time, she will take Ji Wanling's safety into consideration, this is the principle of life.But at such a moment just now, she had to arrange for her to go to Jing Tingge no matter what before she left with peace of mind, because of Gu Xinglang.Because Gu Xinglang did not allow Ji Wanling to take risks, and because Ji Wanling had an accident, he would be sad and heartbroken, so she had to make this kind of perfect arrangement.

It's so unwise.She blurted out these words, and immediately regretted it; seeing that Shen Ji was busy with the situation and had already retreated to the end of the corridor to check because of the etiquette of the courtiers, she forcibly returned to the topic:

"I just said that I would ask him in person. It was because he had promised in the Yingchen Hall that night when Ruan Bi took the Zen seat. The goal was the same, to protect the Ruan family and protect the Yin country. Now that the Ruan family is out and the Yin country is still safe, it is forced by the situation. Best outcome. He shouldn't be killing them all."

Gu Xinglang also recovered from his momentary gaffe, and said quietly:

"You want to use the fake plum talisman to win a first-line chance when necessary. If those Yin soldiers who have secret orders to destroy the Ruan family tonight will give you a moment, at least you will save the lives of Ruan Bi and Mrs. Shu."

"Yes. Leaving aside accidental injuries, neither the real private soldiers nor the Qi soldiers will kill the Ruan family. If someone does something, it will be the official soldiers of the Yin state who have been protecting us all the way, and the local troops who may be mixed in with the private soldiers. I want to try .”

Some of the family members have died.Shen Ji strode back to report.

Gu Xinglang glanced at Ruan Xueyin.

Ruan Xueyin turned and went downstairs.

She knew exactly which room Ruan Bi was in.Shen Ji said that he has not seen him being brought out or coming out by himself.

The lights were bright, and when the door was opened, Ruan Moxi and Mrs. Shu were both there.

The family of three is still harmonious as we saw when we were young.Ruan Xueyin vaguely remembered being envious, and they were all reduced to dust.

"Thought you were gone." Ruan Moxi said coldly.

"Why didn't you leave?" Ruan Xueyin asked Ruan Bi directly, "Didn't those people come to pick you up?"

"Someone came in to pick them up and left. If you go out rashly, the sword has no eyes, and you don't know how you died." The white-haired Ruan Bi and Mrs. Shu were sitting together a whole generation apart.

"Some relatives have already been killed."

Ruan Moxi changed color, "A mistake?"

"Hard to say."

Ruan Bi narrowed his wrinkled and distorted eyes. "What did Gu Xinglang say?"

"He thinks it's Ruan Zhong."

Ruan Bi snorted, and laughed deeply, "Good reaction. So what should he do, just let us die?" He said like this, hum again,

"No. If the Ruan clan wipes out the family tonight, it will be his responsibility. He will try his best to protect us. But how to protect us, the troops are far outnumbered."

"Loss of troops is a death problem, and it cannot be guaranteed. The clansmen don't know the possibility of traps, and they may not believe it if they know it. Most of them will still choose to go with the so-called rescuers. If the outside killing at this moment is not a mistake, they are doomed; you and Madam Shu, we can only rely on the two of us to stop it." Ruan Xueyin glanced at Ruan Moxi.

Ruan Moxi was stunned, and smiled bitterly, "What's the use of me, he has already left me and left. You are lucky, I just came here and saw His Majesty Qi Jun sitting on the second floor."

Murong Xun would not be so ruthless as to leave directly, he must have asked her, but she would not leave by herself.

"You all know that when you come back, how can I abandon my parents?" Ruan Moxi got up and walked to Ruan Xueyin, her chin slightly raised as if she had been arrogant for many years.

Ruan Xueyin didn't think she did it on purpose until now.Just get used to it.Jingui's daughter, who is spoiled by heaven, knows no modesty.

"If you don't go out, you won't be killed by mistake." Ruan Xueyin said quietly, "We will wait in the room until the end, or someone comes in."

The two soldiers broke in after a cup of tea. Seeing that Ruan Xueyin and Ruan Moxi were also in a daze, they quickly asked Ruan Bi to leave with them.

Ruan Qi didn't move for a while.

"There are so many officers and soldiers, we are almost outnumbered, please leave quickly!"

It's a gamble.

They may really be private soldiers, follow along, it is really possible to escape from birth and escape from the hostage.

It is also possible to go out to a place where there is no one and be beheaded.

Ruan Bi stood up, and Mrs. Shu stood up accordingly.

Ruan Moxi was about to open his mouth, unable to make up his mind, and looked at Ruan Xueyin in panic.

Ruan Xueyin suddenly raised her hand and threw out the dark talisman.

The talisman falls to the ground, half a plum blossom.The two brown-armored soldiers stared blankly at each other.

Private soldiers don't react this way.Ruan Xueyin opened her mouth:

"This plum talisman is a fake, I think you all know it. Tonight's overall situation has been determined that the Ruan family will be damaged. As for errands, I can hand them over. But Shengjun and Mrs. Shu, I must protect my palace and Queen Wei, and the troops stationed on the border of the Three Kingdoms, Think it through."

The second soldier's expression changed from dazed to earnest, and he clasped his fists, feeling very anxious, "I was ordered to come to rescue Shengjun, please ask Shengjun to—"

"Take this fake talisman back." Ruan Xueyin interrupted, "The two responsible for killing the Holy Lord must occupy important positions, at least they are also warriors that His Majesty Yin values. So take this talisman back, and your majesty will naturally understand after reading it. , You can handle the job between Shengjun and Mrs. Shu."

[Ruan Zhong carefully read the fake plum symbol, 470 spider webs, you will recognize them when you meet again]
