Shengshichun

Chapter 249 The love brain is quite clever sometimes!

Xu Yin's eyes stopped on the butler's face. After a moment, he looked around: "Where is the assassin?"

"Replying to the Master, one of the two assassins ran away, and the other one was hit, but before he could be caught, he also ran away. Fortunately, our general was not harmed, otherwise I would be afraid now -"

When the housekeeper said this, he let out a long sigh and slapped his thigh.

Xu Yin's eyebrows twitched: "Who hit him?"

"Youngster doesn't know either!" the housekeeper raised his head and said, "When the incident happened, I was still taking care of external affairs. Suddenly I heard a noise coming from our general's room. I ran over quickly and found that someone was trying to attack someone. Our general took action! The young man and the servants in the mansion were so frightened that their hands and feet were weak, how could they care about anything else? When they came to their senses, they were all gone!"

"The person who shot the assassin is also missing?" Xu Yin raised his eyebrows.

"Exactly!" The butler frowned, "Who was that person? The kids didn't even see clearly, so they all left!"

Xu Yin looked at the servants of the Chu family who looked humble in front of him. After a long time, he looked away and stepped into the door.

The room was still a little messy, and two maids were cleaning up the broken porcelain on the floor in front of the bed.

The skinny Chu Yu lay flat on the bed, opening his eyes and looking at them as they came in.

"Is General Chu okay?" Xu Yin walked to the bed and after looking around the room, his eyes returned to his face.

Chu Yu said: "It's so late, why are you still here, Sir?"

Xu Yin sat down on the chair moved to him by the butler: "I've always wanted to come over and see your injury. Unfortunately, as you know, I couldn't get away from the Crown Prince's crowning ceremony a while ago, and I didn't have any free time until tonight."

Chu Yu said: "It's difficult for the Lord Minister to remember this."

Xu Yin raised his lips: "Why do you need to be so out of touch? You and I are all relatives, and we should always come and go."

At this point, he stretched out his hand to uncover Chu Yu's quilt: "Let me see how your injury is doing?"

Chu Yu subconsciously wanted to stop it, but it was just a stretch of skin and flesh. How could the arm above the wound move?

Xu Yin stared at his red and festering wound for a moment, then covered him with the quilt and said, "Do you know how you got hurt this time?"

"My mind is so confused that I can't even remember what happened that day."

"Then how did the imperial doctor describe your wounds?"

"He said someone shot him with a sharp weapon."

Xu Yin paused and looked around again: "Did you offend someone, so you attracted someone to assassinate him?"

Chu Yu shook his head: "I have been cautious all my life, how could I offend anyone? This time an innocent person suffered this disaster. If my injury still gets better, I must report it to my aunt to find out the truth, and ask the murderer what I have to do with him. There is no room for resentment!”

Xu Yin held his breath for a moment and said, "I heard that you were assassinated again just now. How could it be such a coincidence that someone else fought off the assassin for you?"

Chu Yu looked at him: "Since Mr. Minister is here to visit me, I thought you should be concerned about my injury. I didn't expect that you would be concerned about the assassin."

"You're worrying too much. I'm just curious. Your yard looks peaceful. It doesn't look like there's been an assassination attempt."

Chu Yu called out: "I am from a small family and don't have many people. They don't know what the situation is."

Xu Yin stood up when he heard this: "In that case, I will help you patrol and inspect to avoid any dangers hidden somewhere."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the door.

Chu Yu kept staring at his back until he couldn't see him anymore, then he looked back.

Xu Yin walked out of the courtyard and immediately winked with the guards who followed him. The guards immediately shouted to each other: "Go around and take a look! Check for General Chu to see if there is any danger!"

The eight guards immediately scattered and ran in all directions of the courtyard.

Xu Yin stood in the courtyard, the night wind passing by his ears. The slight wind sound was amplified in the extremely quiet environment, and it sounded like thunder in a trance.

Chu Yu's current position is not strictly a general, but a mid-level general. His house is quite spacious for one person to live in, but it is nothing if placed among the official residences in the capital. As the owner, if he is not There is another layer of identity related to Princess Rong, and the few servants around her may all be gone.

Under such circumstances, it is not a strange thing to break into a few interested people. If Xu Yin's guards can get in, other masters can naturally get in as well.

The guard who returned said that his injured companion had been detained, but the servants of the Chu family said that both the person who hit him and the injured guard had left.

Is what the servants of the Chu family said true?

If it is true, then the identity of the person who secretly acted is very important.

If it's fake, then there's something wrong with the Chu family!

"Master! I've checked all around and found nothing unusual."

Several people who went to inspect gradually arrived, and the person who responded had a deep look in his eyes, obviously telling him that the Chu family had not found any injured comrades who had fallen behind.

There are only a few rooms. If the people are still there, where else can they hide?

Xu Yin looked around again, and finally stopped at Chu Yu's room for a moment, turned around and said, "Let's go."

The housekeeper sent them all to the street, turned around, closed the door, and went straight to Chu Yu's room.

"master……"

"Lights out. I'm tired."

Chu Yu did not wait for him to finish speaking before he weakly and quickly gave the order.

The housekeeper paused, nodded, stepped forward and turned off the light, and then walked out. The room was dark.

Except for the breathing of the person on the bed, there was no movement.

But soon a figure fell on the window. He clung to the window door. It was not until half a cup of tea that he stepped back and disappeared outside quietly.

Crickets chirped suddenly on the wall, one after another, long and short, until the sound gradually stopped, and the lights in the room turned on again.

Fu Zhen walked out of the back room and sat down on the previous chair again: "General Chu's thoughtfulness is impressive."

Xu Yin brought a total of eight guards, but only seven left with him just now. Fu Zhen had already understood the complexity of his thoughts, but he didn't expect that Chu Yu, who was lying on the bed, also noticed it.

Chu Yu said: "I have been living under someone else's roof since I was a child. How could I survive until now if I didn't have some discernment?"

Fu Zhen raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

It’s not like she doesn’t know the virtues of Princess Rong. When she brought Chu Yu to the palace, Chun Chun raised him as a tool. Naturally, she couldn’t give him much sincere love. It’s true that Chu Yu can live wholeheartedly until now. It requires some tact.

"Have they all left?"

Fu Zhen nodded: "After the people outside the window noticed nothing unusual, everyone brought by Xu Yin has already left."

"What about the assassin you caught? Didn't he find any traces?"

Fu Zhen crossed his arms: "Of course it's impossible for him to find traces. They had already taken people out of Chu's house long before I entered your house.

"So the butler's reply just now is not a lie, because the person who did it and the injured person are indeed not here anymore.

"Moreover, the few people Xu Yin brought will definitely find signs of fighting and escaping during the inspection."

Chu Yu looked at her deeply: "You are so experienced in dealing with things. Who are you? I have seen almost all the ladies from all the generals in the court, but I have never seen you."

"When you get better, you will be able to see me soon and know who I am." Fu Zhen raised his lips.

"Get better?" Chu Yu smiled bitterly, "Can I still have a good day?"

"Why not?"

Fu Zhen turned his head and called "Doctor Lu", and Lu Chongyang immediately came in with the medicine box, held the lamp and looked closely at Cu Yu's face, then took out the silver needle and burned it on the lamp.

Chu Yu's face was full of confusion: "Who is this? What did you ask him to do?"

Fu Zhen said: "This is a military doctor who has been with the army in the northwest for many years. His family has been practicing medicine for generations, and he is especially good at treating injuries caused by wounds. I haven't shown up for the past half month just to wait for Doctor Lu to come to Beijing.

"Doctor Lu, come and tell him, can he get better?"

Lu Chongyang snorted coldly, took back the hot silver needle, walked to the bed and said: "As long as you are not sincere in seeking death, you will not die!"

After speaking, he carefully identified several acupuncture points on his head and neck, and then inserted three needles into them.

Chu Yu had been ill in bed for a long time and had long lost the ability to resist. Or maybe he didn't want to resist at this moment.

He stared blankly as Lu Chongyang applied acupuncture on himself repeatedly, with unconcealable nervousness in his expression.

But just as Fu Zhen sat aside and drank a cup of tea, he felt that his breathing became much smoother.

Fu Zhen said: "How do you feel now?"

Chu Yu took a deep breath. He couldn't ignore the obvious changes in his body. Maybe this change was only temporary, or maybe it was deceptive. It didn't mean that he was really coming to life, but it still made him feel sad in his heart. A glimmer of hope arose.

He is still so young, who else would want to die?

Even if there is only such a glimmer of hope, it makes many things possible again.

He tried his best to adjust his breathing until it was completely calmed down, then he looked at Fu Zhen and said, "Please, tell me everything you know! Including the Xu family and everything that has happened to the Xu family recently!"

……

Xu Yin returned to the house and hurried to the front door: "How was it?!"

Xu Yin's eyebrows were as tight as an iron lock: "The person is missing!"

"Gone?!"

Lian Ruan was stunned.

Xu Yin looked at him: "The people from the Chu family said that our man was indeed hit, but he escaped again. And the person who hit him also left."

"How could it be such a coincidence? No clues left at all?" Lian Rong also frowned, "Could the Chu family be committing fraud?"

After saying this, he also felt that this was a bit rash. With Chu Yu's current appearance, it was hard for people to believe that he could still cheat.

Xu Yin stared at the night sky with eyebrows and didn't speak for a long time. Finally, he said slowly: "It seems that I have to go to Prince Rong's Mansion tomorrow to have a look."
