Chuan Shuzhi became the regent's favorite concubine

Chapter 115 Let him practice courage

But Pei Jinglin is a scholar after all, and has no martial arts in his body. Facing this menacing sword, he can only use the opportunity to avoid the sword that is aimed at his heart, but he still cannot escape the next move of the man in black. .

The sharp sword slid across his arm and pierced into the flesh, Pei Jinglin gritted his teeth to cover the bleeding wound and retreated repeatedly.

When the man was about to stab him, he didn't have the strength to dodge, thinking that he was going to die here today, Pei Jinglin resigned himself to his fate and closed his eyes.

In the end, I only heard the clear sound of the collision of swords and swords, which was extremely close to my ears.

Pei Jinglin opened his eyes suddenly, and saw a man also dressed in black holding a sword and fighting the man who wanted to assassinate him.

The person who came later was obviously superior, but with just a few moves, he subdued that person.

"Young Master Pei, I come to protect you in the name of the lord. The injury on my hand is due to my inability to do so. I will ask the lord to punish me." The man in black escorted him to Pei Jinglin and said.

Pei Jinglin's face was pale, and he covered the wound in his hand. From the voice, it could be heard that it was Qiu Longci's confidant, Beiying, who was about to speak, but saw the man under his escort pull out a dagger from his waist, and moved very quickly. wiped his throat.

A stream of blood spurted out, splashing all over the two of them.

"Hiss..." Pei Jinglin was so frightened by the sudden suicide of the man in black that he backed away again and again, his face turned even paler.

He had never seen such a bloody scene, even his clothes were dripping with blood.

"Dead." Bei Ying calmly stretched out his hand to touch the bloody neck of the man in black, and then said very calmly.

Pei Jinglin felt that his stomach was churning, which made him even feel less pain in his arm.

"Mr. Pei, the wound on your hand..." Beiying noticed the bloody wound on Pei Jinglin's hand and frowned.

"It's okay, you go back and report to the lord, I, I'll take a step first." Pei Jinglin was sweating all over, clutching his hands, turning around and leaving with a somewhat vain footstep.

It was only tonight that he really felt how terrifying this power struggle is, and the back is all made of flesh and blood. If Qiu Longci hadn't sent someone to protect him, he would really have died in Pei's mansion tonight.

And he had already encountered this kind of thing before he really stepped into the court. It is conceivable that there will be more dangers in the future.

Bei Ying looked at Pei Jinglin's ability to walk, and was a little impressed. The injury on his hand might have hurt his tendons, and he could still walk with support. Mr. Pei was more tolerable than he imagined.

But Beiying just couldn't find a man, so he was free to come here tonight, but unexpectedly, he ran into him. Looking at the dead man on the ground, Beiying picked him up and disappeared into the night again .

Inside the palace.In the yard outside the study, Bei Ying threw the man in black down.

Qiu Longci frowned and looked at the dead man on the ground, his expression worried, "It seems that the Prime Minister is not hiding the slightest bit, and sent someone directly to assassinate Pei Jinglin."

"It seems that this king has to hurry up." Qiu Longci pursed his lips.

"My lord, then this person..."

"Throw this person to the Prince's Mansion." Qiu Longci said without thinking.

Beiying was taken aback for a moment, her face cracked, "T-Prince's Mansion?"

His master is right?The spies from the prime minister's mansion were sent to the prince's mansion?

"Give the prince courage and insight." Qiu Longci's tone was ordinary, as if he was saying to send a dead mouse to Qiu Chenghong to make him more courageous.

"Hurry up?" Qiu Longci urged, looking at Bei Ying, who was petrified in place, frowning.

Beiying was taken aback, and quickly responded, watching the black-clothed man on the ground resign himself to his fate and picked him up again, and went to the Prince's Mansion overnight.

But when she was about to leave, Beiying stopped hesitantly, looked at Qiu Longci and asked, "My lord, can you tell the crown prince what happened to Pei's mansion tonight, and the identity of this person."

"...It's a good idea." Qiu Longci pondered for a while, thinking that the proposal was quite reasonable, "Just tell me briefly, there is no need to say anything else."

"Yes."

……

Inside the Prince's Mansion, Pei Jinglin was looking at the notice that would be posted on the imperial list tomorrow, and was lost in thought when he heard a few stones hit outside the study, making a sound similar to knocking on the door.

Frowning, he got up and walked out of the study.

As a result, a figure fell from the sky, and a corpse was thrown on the ground a few steps away in front of him.

There was still blood flowing out, and Chou Chenghong's complexion turned dark, but there was no sign of being frightened on his face.

On the side of the corpse, Beiying appeared with a mask, looking at the prince's face as black as charcoal, feeling a little helpless, and wanted to say that this was what his master meant, but he still didn't dare to do so.

He could only follow Qiu Longci's orders.

"His Royal Highness, this person was sent by the Prime Minister to assassinate Mr. Pei in the Pei Mansion, but I stopped him. I now inform the Crown Prince, and I will leave." Stop at once.

Qiu Chenghong frowned and listened to Beiying's words. He had rarely heard Beiying's voice, so he couldn't tell that it was Qiu Longci's person.

"Assassinate Mr. Pei? Is Mr. Pei injured?" Chou Chenghong took a few steps forward with a very nervous expression.

Bei Ying thought about it for a moment, and said truthfully: "The left arm was stabbed, the wound was deep enough to show the bone, and the tendons were injured. I don't know the rest, so I have nothing to say, so I will leave."

After Beiying finished speaking, she didn't miss it at all, and leaped up to the eaves lightly, and her figure disappeared into the night immediately.

Chou Chenghong stared blankly at the corpse on the ground, thinking about the words Beiying said, gradually clenched the hand hanging by his side.

"You hurt senior brother...you actually hurt senior brother..." Chou Chenghong's brows and eyes showed hostility, he was like a ghost in the night, and the eyes staring at the corpse were chilling.

But Xi Yuankui who was in the Prime Minister's Mansion didn't wait for someone to come back, his eyebrows twitched several times.

"Come on!" Xi Yuankui shouted outside.

Then a servant came running in.

"Bring a pen and paper to the truth." Xi Yuankui said solemnly.

"Yes, master." The servant hurriedly handed the pen and paper to him with a low eyebrow.

Xi Yuankui quickly wrote on the paper, and after a while, he folded the letter, "Old rules, send this letter out."

"Yes, master." The servant took the letter and walked out quickly.

No one knows what was written in that letter, but Xi Yuankui's complexion has obviously improved a lot, and he sneered with his lips curled up, "Chou Longci, the truth is to see how you can deal with the thousands of soldiers without a single soldier." Kazuma?"

In the early morning of the next day, just after dawn, a group of guards with swords and helmets walked towards the Imperial College with a list of emperors.

There was a sign in front of the Imperial College, and there were already many people around, and when they saw a group of guards approaching, they all voluntarily stepped out of the way.
