Chapter 413 (1/2)
Emperor capital, Xie mansion.
Xie Heng stood in front of the court with a sword and wiped the sword with a handkerchief,
Among the heavy snow, there were dead bodies everywhere, all in black.
The green guards were busy clearing out these bodies, and the flying snow kept falling, covering the red blood.
Dusk was everywhere, and the courtyard was quiet. The red plum on the branches was blown down by the cold wind and brushed across the corner of the young man's clothes.
”What's the number?” Xie Wanjin hid behind the arch, leaned out his head and looked around. He saw that no man in black was still alive.
He was relieved and went to Xie Heng. ”Elder brother, have you killed almost now?”
Xie Heng gave a ”hum” and threw his handkerchief to him, ”what are you doing in court? Go back and avoid.”
”I'm not a wine.” Xie Wanjin pulled slightly from the corners of his eyes and threw the handkerchief stained with the blood of many people on the ground, ”These people in black dare to rush to our Xie family to kill in the daytime. It must be changing. Zhao Feng is the prince. He can succeed to the throne only after the old emperor returns to heaven. He shouldn't do such a stupid thing. Zhao Zhi, King Rui, is different. He is probably forced to jump over the wall by the third brother and do it directly...”
The fourth childe is used to laughing and joking on weekdays. It's rare to be so serious.
Xie Heng raised his eyes to look at him and couldn't help picking his eyebrows.
Xie Wanjin said, ”just stay with some green guards who were placed in the house before. On weekdays, I also raised some good martial arts. Although I can't help my eldest brother, it's OK to protect my family.”
Xie Heng took his sword back to its scabbard, left his right hand and patted the boy on the shoulder.
The fourth childe frowned and hurriedly stepped back.
The young man was photographed with an internal injury by him, covered his shoulder and said, ”go, elder brother. Ah Jiu is still in Lingyun mountain and his third brother... His mouth has offended Zhao Zhi to death. If Zhao Zhi succeeds, I'm afraid the first unlucky is the third brother!”
Xie Heng picked slightly from the corner of his eye, ”then I'll go.”
Xie Wanjin suddenly stopped, stood upright and said, ”I'm guarding at home, elder brother, don't worry.”
Xie Heng answered ”good”, turned and brushed the snow away.
The fourth childe stood by the plum blossom tree, looked up at the shadow coming and going on the eaves, and smiled slowly: ”Rong Sheng, the fourth brother is very busy recently. He doesn't have time to entertain you. Sell his brother a face. Don't come to Xie's house to stir up the muddy water at this time.”
The figure on the eaves stagnated slightly in the twilight, and then disappeared quietly in the twinkling of an eye.
Xie Wanjin breathed a sigh of relief.
Behind him, the rich and noble who followed quietly asked, ”fourth childe, who are you talking to?”
Xie Wanjin turned around and asked, ”did you just speak?”
The rich and powerful were speechless: ”
The fourth childe didn't give them the chance to ask more. He said, ”it's very dangerous here. Go back to the backyard. Don't let small six and seven run out.”
The two little maids nodded together and trotted back.
Xie Wanjin broke a plum blossom, walked slowly to the pavilion and sat down. He said to himself, ”when is the snow going to fall?”
……
Lingyun mountain, sacrifice to the roof.
The blessing ceremony began in the early morning. It was already late at night. King Rui suddenly came out. They couldn't eat a meal all day. Everyone was hungry.
Wenjiu sat next to the old emperor. The eldest princess had said she should hide away, but after a circle, they stayed together again.
Moreover, Zhao Yu and the crown prince are not close to her and Zhao Yi. Everyone looks at her differently than before.
