Retreat, Retreat, Retreat! - Chapter 25

At this time, the streets were empty, everything was quiet, Xiaoxiaomuxue enveloped the quaint houses of the capital, and in a short while, a layer of white, like smoke and mist, was accumulated.

The bleak winter breeze stirred, and convolved with broken snow, and fell on Shen Xuan’s gilded black gauze official hat, as well as the shrinking pupils.

She opened her astonished eyes, the whole world was full of whiteness, and her eyes were full of Shen Xuan’s magnified but flawless face.

The touch on his lips was too real, hot and humid, mixed with his clean breath, and brought a numb and unfamiliar throbbing, his heart beating like a drum, almost breaking his chest. She passively endured his grabbing, breathing difficulties, her legs were soft, she could only cling to his broad and strong shoulders in vain, and whimpered from the lips.

Shen Xuan is usually cold and hard, and the kiss is unexpectedly long and passionate. He half-opened his eyes, his eyes under his eyelashes were deep and quiet, reflecting Xiao Changning Xue’s blushing blush and the pathetic appearance of passive acceptance…

Originally it was just a taste of the kiss, but now I can’t stop it. He squinted dangerously, his eyes seemed to be deeper, and he simply supported her boneless waist with one hand, squeezed her chin with the other, and his tongue drove straight into the churning, sending out sticky, shameful water. Voice.

Xiao Changning felt that something he had always adhered to suddenly collapsed at this time, breaking into dust. She is like a leaf reed, completely involved in the whirlpool called’Shenxuan’.

At this moment, the gust of wind rose suddenly, and countless sharp blades pierced the air in the flat ground.

Before Xiao Changning could react, she saw Shen Xuan suddenly open her cold eyes, withdraw her lips and tongue, and put her arm around Xiao Changning to avoid it. Almost at the same time, several feather arrows rubbed their bodies and nailed them in. In the stone wall on the side, the arrow entered the wall an inch, and the tail of the arrow still trembles and makes a buzzing sound. It can be seen that the visitor is not simple.

A few arrows were fired again, Shen Xuan did not panic, raised the black cloak vigorously, several arrows were all rolled into the cloak by him to reduce the strength, after a few clanging, menacing arrows came. Falling to the ground like scrap iron.

“There are assassins! Protect the factory superintendent!” The fans outside the alley heard the movement, like a wolf who smelled blood, and immediately gathered in a serious formation.

Lin Huan didn’t know where to jump out, and climbed up the roof like a jackdaw. The scimitar was out of its sheath during the run, and the sword fell all the way to kill him. He was not so fierce as that greedy and innocent boy.

Xiao Changning’s breathing was messy, his lips glowing suspiciously, and his red eyes hid behind Shen Xuan. She knows that this is the real face of the Dongchang **** who is ruthless and drinking blood-powerful, fierce, and invincible!

As the heart surged, another black shadow fell from the sky. She was shocked and looked intently, but it was Jiang She who came to support her.

On the ridge of the roof, Lin Huan led Fanzi to fight fiercely with the black-clothed assassin. Jiang She also bowed his bow without saying a word. The fleeing black assassin.

“Keep your mouth open.” Shen Xuan shielded Xiao Changning behind her, her thin lips opened slightly, and she ordered without any emotion.

Jiang shot nodded, let go, and the arrow pierced through the air, shot through the shoulder of one assassin, and nailed it into the leg of the second assassin. In the blink of an eye, the two assassins wailed, rolled down from the roof ridge, and fell to the ground with a dull sound of broken bones.

Xiao Changning panted, his exhaled heat instantly turned frosty white in the cold wind, and he was frightened to see it.

Jiang shot a feather arrow from the quiver behind his backhand, and opened a few arrows, without any false hair. Although he was outside, he cooperated perfectly with Lin Huan who was attacking at close range. He deserved to be called a sharpshooter.

In less than a cup of tea, the assassin gang hiding behind the roof was almost eliminated. Only one tall assassin dressed as a leader was extraordinary, agile and agile. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, he cut off the several fans who were blocking the way. Fleeing to the west.

The assassin’s movements were so fast that Lin Huan couldn’t catch up, so he took the blood-stained scimitar, stood on the ridge of the fierce wind and snow against the light, and shouted at Jiang She who was head down: “Brother Jiang, shoot him! “

Jiang She didn’t speak, only turned over the eaves, stood on the cocked eaves, pulled the bowstring to the extreme, his calm eyes locked on the assassin who had become a jumping black spot.

Xiao Changning’s heart was awkward.

The average person’s bow and arrow can shoot up to sixty feet away, and at this time the assassin is about to escape seventy feet away, no matter how you look at it, it seems like you are incapable of returning to the sky.

On the side, Shen Xuan stood calmly, and pointed in a deep voice: “Northwest wind, pay attention to the wind speed.”

Jiang shot nodded and slightly adjusted the direction of the arrow. At the moment when the assassin jumped up and was about to hide in the alley, Jiang shot loose the string, and the arrow pierced the air with the wind.

In the next instant, the assassin screamed and fell.

The assassination lasted less than a quarter of an hour before being wiped out by the East Factory. The strength of Shen Xuan’s subordinates, Xiao Changning can be regarded as thoroughly instructed today.

“Ending.” Shen Xuan gave an order, her deep eyes soaked in the broken snow, quite cold.

Seeing Xiao Changning’s silence, he turned around, gently held her cold fingertips, frowned and said, “It’s okay?”

Xiao Changning looked at his thin opened lips, recalling the situation in his mind that had just been sucked and disturbed by this lip. A stream of heat rushed from the limbs to the top of her head, causing her cheeks to be fast at a speed visible to the naked eye. He flushed, his legs softened unconsciously, and he almost had to support the wall to barely stand.

She leaned her back against the cold stone wall, hung her head and breathed deeply, not daring to look at Shen Xuan, her heart was like a frightened herd of deer, banging against her chest.

Shen Xuan stretched out her hand to support her waist, and asked, “What’s wrong with your Highness?”

He… how could he be so calm after doing that? !

She looks like an okay person, I really want to **** her off! It seemed that she was the only one who was stuck in it from beginning to end.

She was even so flustered by an **** who was stunned, and she couldn’t forgive herself!

Xiao Changning put the back of his hand on his hot cheek, trying to cool down, and then changed the subject: “You go and deal with those assassins.”

Shen Xuan didn’t move, she could only look at her fixedly, pondering for a moment, and then later realized what she was struggling with. He lifted his thumb subconsciously, and gently rubbed his lower lip, as if there was still her fascination there, which was endlessly memorable.

In the vast snow and fog, it was clearly the harsh winter season, but there seemed to be something hard between the two that slowly melted away, turning into tenderness.

Shen Xuan stretched out a hand, and the black wristband wrapped his powerful forearm, even the green veins on the back of the hand were just right and perfect. He seemed to want to stroke her reddish cheeks, but before his fingertips had been touched, Lin Huan trot over all the way behind him, interrupting the Ruoyouruuowu glamour in an uninteresting manner.

“Director of the factory, the assassin headed was caught and is still alive.” Lin Huan blinked unconsciously and asked, “Is he taken back to the dungeon for interrogation?”

Shen Xuan paused with her hand in the air, watched the snowflakes on the back of her hand melt into crystal drops of water, and suppressed the inconspicuous smile at the corner of her mouth, and said, “No, interrogation on the spot.”

Lin Huan said “Yes” and waved to the fans: “Bring you here!”

Shen Xuan brushed the broken snow on Xiao Changning’s shoulders, her eyes were not bottoming, “The next picture is not very beautiful, for fear of frightening Your Highness, please go to the carriage to avoid the wind and wait for a while.”

Xiao Changning was trying to find a place to hide her hopeless self, so she nodded obediently, and got into the carriage with her head hanging down and fleeing, and put down the curtain to cut off Shen Xuan’s hot sight.

Sitting in the carriage, Xiao Changning breathed a sigh of relief, but his heartbeat was still not calm. She shook her head in annoyance, just trying to get rid of all the messy and shameful images in her head.

She sat there blankly for a while before the heat of her body gradually subsided. Not long after, there was a mess of shouts and footsteps from outside the car, and it was about the assassin being interrogated.

She leaned her head against the car wall, stretched out a white jade finger to pick a corner of the driving curtain, and looked out from the gap, only to see the Dongchang fans pressing the assassin leader in the snow, loudly What geological inquiry.

The assassin’s hands and feet were injured, and a feather arrow pierced his thigh. The blood soaked his black clothes and dyed the white snow in the square inch. Despite this, he still maintained the demeanor of a dead man and said nothing.

Seeing the assassin’s unwillingness to confess what was behind the scenes, Shen Xuan stood with her knife, like a cold pine in the snow, and said cruelly: “Knock off his teeth one by one.”

Xiao Changning lowered the curtain and did not continue to look at it. Despite this, the screams outside the car were still clearly audible. She touched her lips subconsciously, where there was still a numb touch, and she could remember how his tongue was able to pry open his teeth strongly, raging in her soft territory…

Obviously he was such a terrible and hard man, but his lips were unexpectedly soft, and the hands that encircled her waist were so strong and gentle.

I don’t know how long it took, when the carriage sank, Shen Xuan lifted the curtain of the car, and walked in with the cold air all over and sat beside her.

He wiped off the snow from his shoulders calmly, and his murderous aura melted with the snow on his shoulders, returning to a dark peace.

“What is the princess thinking?” he asked.

Xiao Changning’s figure trembled, and he came back to his senses. He rubbed his hands overlapping on his knees and asked uncomfortably, “Did the assassins recruit?”

Shen Xu said: “It’s recruited.”

Xiao Changning asked absently: “Who instigated…” She was looking for a topic casually to conceal her inner throbbing. As soon as she said her words, she discovered that the secrets were involved, so she changed her words, “My palace asked casually, if it is inconvenient. Forget the answer.”

“What’s wrong with telling Your Highness?” Shen Xuan grinned, her eyes darkened, “Cai Feng, the servant of the Ministry of War, these days the Dongchang has been investigating his embezzlement of military silver and reselling military equipment. He jumped the wall in a hurry and wanted to kill someone .”

Xiao Changning blushed, his gaze drifted to one side unnaturally, and the urn said in an anguish: “Just now, why did you want to… do that?”

About to find it difficult to speak, her voice is as thin as a mosquito, and her trembling eyelashes are like a feather that runs through her heart, slightly itchy.

Shen Xuan’s gaze fell on her two ruddy lips unconsciously, teasing her knowingly, “Which one should I do?”

Xiao Changning choked and looked up at him.

It’s just that her eyes are beautiful and beautiful, and instead of being lethal at all, she looks like she’s acting like a baby.

Shen Xuan was in a good mood. She pulled out a piece of incense from the sachet next to the cushion and put it into the furnace to cover up the **** aura, and calmly said: “Didn’t you say it, in order to make them relax their guards by mistakenly thinking that the Governor Only by enticing the assassins to take action, can they grasp the location of their ambush and catch them all in one go.”

“No, you obviously have a better choice.” Xiao Changning was determined, with a look of’You must not lie to me’, and said unrelentingly, “You can walk alone into the open space, which is more convenient for them to do it. Or simply give an order to let the subordinates besieged and searched for them…”

“You are right, there are many ways.”

Shen Yun nodded and looked up at her. Under her slanting sword eyebrows, a pair of deep eyes gleamed with inexplicable light, she slowly spread out a light smile, and said, “But I just want to do that.”

Xiao Changning was startled, then his jade face blushed, and said dumbly: “What do you…what do you mean?”

She seemed to be looking forward to it, and at the same time she seemed to be anxious. After waiting for a long time, she did not wait for Shen Xuan’s answer. Xiao Changning’s agitated heart gradually calmed down, and said to a loss, “Admiral Shen can still be so calm after doing something like that, is he teasing this palace?”

“In a hurry, it’s not teasing.” Although he did kiss her selfishly, it was just uncontrollable, and he didn’t mean to humiliate her at all.

Besides…

Shen Xuan clenched and loosened her hands on her knees, thinking as if she laughed at herself: In the Governor’s heart, there is no peace at all.

“You…” Xiao Changning took a deep breath, and the doubts and grievances that had been pressed in his heart for a whole day finally broke through the shackles of reason, and blurted out, “Admiral Shen already has a pair of foods, and he also does these intimacy actions to this palace. I’m afraid it’s wrong?”

As soon as she said it, she regretted it.

What is wrong? Although he is his regular wife, she has no distinctions after all. Even if Shen Xuan is afflicted with the flowers, it is not her turn to make a comment?

These words couldn’t even convince him, let alone Shen Xuan.

Xiao Changning shrank his shoulders with some guilty conscience, and then straightened up abruptly, pretending to be convincing to cheer himself up: What are you afraid of! Even if it is wrong, the eldest princess’s momentum can’t be lost!

By her side, Shen Xuan was taken aback, and then she smiled clearly: “It turns out that the princess has been angry for most of the day, but she was actually angry with this.”

Xiao Changning, who was knocked out of his mind, was even more guilty. His breath trembled, but he still calmed himself: “This palace is not a stingy person, and this palace has never been angry. Who do you like the admiral, and if you have any food, talk to this palace. It doesn’t matter at all. My palace doesn’t care, doesn’t care at all…”

Her voice was getting smaller and smaller, coughing lightly, and muffled: “Really don’t care!” After finishing speaking, she nodded herself.

There is no silver three hundred taels here.

Rao is that Admiral Shen is so emotionally slow, and he should know that Princess Changning is jealous.

After understanding this, Shen Xuan became more happy, and laughed low. For some reason, she gave birth to an impulse to hold Xiao Changning into her arms to comfort her.

In the end, he restrained a strange desire in his heart, and said for a long time: “The governor has no right to eat.”

Xiao Changning suddenly raised his eyes, with a suspicious expression on his face.

Seeing that she didn’t believe it, Shen Xuan repeated it again: “The governor has never had a counterattack.”

“It’s obvious that someone has seen it with your own eyes. You used to talk to a court lady when you were in the prison guardian.” Xiao Changning said in amazement, “And today at the school, this palace clearly saw you talking with a court lady. Be intimate…”

“Oh?” Shen Xuan didn’t feel embarrassed about being exposed to the secret, and still asked without hesitation, “His Royal Highness saw her look?”

“Plum trees cover, I have never seen it.” Xiao Changning said angrily.

But after thinking about it carefully, the figure of the palace lady was very familiar, and it must be someone she had met.

“I don’t know from whom my Royal Highness heard these rumors, but the palace lady that His Royal Highness saw today is not my counterpart.” There is a sharp edge in Shen Xuan’s eyes, capturing the subtle changes in Xiao Changning’s expression. Slowly smiled, “She is the inspector’s spy. Because of the information handover, she met.”

Detective, spy? !

Shen Xuan didn’t seem to be joking. After understanding what he had misunderstood, Xiao Changning opened his eyes, and water gradually appeared in his eyes.

A huge sense of embarrassment swept in like a tide, and her grievance and anger were shocked to pieces. Xiao Changning suddenly lowered his head, buried his cheeks in his hands, and said ‘ah’ in embarrassment.

“Is it ugly to look like a mediocre person in this palace?” She said with an inexplicable crying cavity, her breathing trembling, and embarrassedly, “…so embarrassing.”

Shen Xuan smiled at the corner of her mouth, took out the pen and ink and impermanence book she carried with him, and wrote a line in the book: A certain year, month and day, the princess of Changning had a taste, and this supervisor was very happy to see…

Then he closed the book and said calmly: “His Royal Highness looks so beautiful, it’s not ugly in any way.”

You are the only one who believes in this palace!

Xiao Changning fell to the side feebly, embarrassed, and squatted: “No, I don’t know that the admiral also planted a spy in the maid of the palace. I have misunderstood you. This matter should be exposed. No, no more.”

Shen Xuan said sternly: “His Royal Highness got angry for no reason, and the Governor feels wronged in his heart, I’m afraid I can’t forget it.”

“This palace is wrong, this palace is not angry with you.” Xiao Changning lowered his jade-like palms, revealing a pair of watery eyes, softly begging, “This palace is getting angry. , I wanted to make a difference for a while, so that I uttered wild words…Anyway, anyway, you also did those frivolous actions to this palace, and the two things contradicted. I will not pursue it, and you should not mention it again.”

At this point, there was a suspicious blush on the tips of her bright white ears.

Shen Xuan looked at her eartips that looked like plumes in the snow, her eyes darkened, and she smiled: “Your Highness means that if your Highness does something wrong in the future, it can be offset by such a ‘flimsy’ move?”

Xiao Changning opened his mouth, just about to refute, but Shen Xuan nodded without doubt, and said, “Very well, this superintendent remembered.”

No, it’s not like that, Admiral Shen!

However, it was too late to refute, so she had to shut up in shock.

It seems that I will have to be more cautious in the future, and I will never be able to be as arrogant as I am today. Asking Shen Xuan to kiss once is already dizzy and weak. If you’re “light and thin” a few more times, it will be fine!

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but recall the long and hot kiss in the snow again, and she was flustered again. Fortunately, the carriage drove back home quickly, and the slight bumps shook her full of charm.

She didn’t dare to look at Shen Xuan, for fear that her gaze would stop for him unconsciously, she simply sat a little aside, buried half of her face in the rabbit fur collar, closed her eyes and slumbered.

Shen Xuan looked at her uneasy rolling eyeballs under her thin eyelids, and at her long and thick eyelashes, the corners of her mouth slowly conjured up a hunting smile.

The snow fell all day and night.

At night, Xiao Changning lay on the couch tossing and turning, and for the first time in his life, he suffered from insomnia all night.

“This palace is probably hit by the Gu named’Shenxuan’…” She hugged the bedding, looked sideways at the candlelight that burned to the end of the table, and muttered to herself.

She can’t sleep, as long as she closes her eyes, she will always have a deep face in her mind, the unexpected deep kiss under the first snow…

After listening to the sound of falling snow all night, she finally fell asleep in the midst of the creak of heavy snow breaking the branches in the early morning.

When she woke up, it was already white. She groggyly got up from the bedding, rang the bell and asked, “When is it?”

Xia Lu and Dong Sui came in and waited for her to dress and freshen up, and replied, “Your Highness, it’s time.”

When is it? She actually slept until now, and missed the hour of breakfast!

She had promised Shen Xuan before that she would eat with him and treat each other as a guest. He was absent from breakfast for no reason today. He wouldn’t be angry anymore?

Xia Lu seemed to see what she was thinking, and said with a smile: “Admiral Shen said, today it is cold and heavy snow, and your Highness can sleep longer, it’s okay.”

Xiao Changning said’Huh’, opened his arms, and let the maidservant put on her clothes, wondering: “Is Shen Xuan so generous now?”

“Yes, the servants are also surprised. Today Admiral Shen seems to be in a good mood.” Dong Sui rushed and said, “Admiral Shen not only learned to be considerate of His Royal Highness, but also ordered two large boxes of jewelry and silk to come to South Korea. Ge, everything is a delicate and unparalleled treasure.”

Xiao Changning was surprised and asked, “When did it happen?”

“I brought it in early this morning. The servants didn’t dare to move without authorization, so they piled it up outside and waited for the Highness to deal with it.” Dong Sui was mixed with joy and sorrow, and he muttered, “Your Highness, Admiral Shen suddenly showed okay, is this a good thing or a bad thing? ?”

Xiao Changning was not sure what Shen Xuan meant, could it be that he also had a sense of affection for himself?

But this idea just took a head, and was quickly denied by her: it’s impossible. Yesterday the two were chatting with each other. His expression was still calm, calm and chilling. He was obviously only performing a task, not like moving. The appearance of love.

It is said to be a cocoon for herself, she actually expects a **** to be emotional?

Thinking of this, the joy in her eyes turned into a faint worry, and she absently responded, “My palace knows.”

After freshening up, she didn’t care about eating two bites of porridge and fruit, so she hurried to the outside room.

Sure enough, three lipstick lacquered copper leather boxes were placed in the small house, piled up with the most beautiful silks and satin in the city. There were also a few rich jewellery boxes on the table. Xiao Changning opened the box. The golden jade hairpins, pearls and gems inside were shining brilliantly, and the jewels almost stung her eyes.

Such extravagance was only seen in the most glorious years of Xibi Palace.

These things were bought by Shen Xuan on Linlang Street when she was angry yesterday. Most of them were bought on an impulse and didn’t need them. They simply sent them all to her as a favor.

The more Xiao Changning thought about it, the more he felt that this explanation was reasonable, but there was still some uncontrollable excitement in his heart.

She has witnessed Shen Xuan’s force, strength and financial resources, no matter which side is not lost to the Queen Mother’s Jin Yiwei. He is like a dangerous knife. As long as he uses it well, he can help the Xiao family overcome obstacles and put an end to the mess of foreign relatives…

Yes, for public and private, she needs to sink in.

Xiao Changning slowly closed the jewelry box, his eyes firmer than ever before. She had been between the Queen Mother and the East Factory for so long, and it was time to make the final decision.

Thinking of this, Xiao Changning turned around and said: “Dong Sui, wait for the palace to change clothes and put on makeup. No merit will not be met. Since Admiral Shen treats me sincerely, I shall express my gratitude.”

And just as Xiao Changning made up his mind, the situation above the court was full of swords.

Behind the bright yellow veil, the Queen Mother watched Dongchang Fanzi drag a **** black assassin to the court. Seeing this **** figure, the Chaozhong Baiguan was shocked, wondering what Dongchang wanted to do.

After the curtain fell, the Queen Mother suddenly clenched her fingers and said angrily: “Shen Xuan, what do you mean?”

Shen Xuan’s eyes were gloomy, and she raised her hand to signal, Fang Wujing threw the assassin in the hall with his teeth pulled out and only one breath left. The officials retreated with Shen Xuan as the center, for fear that the blood would splash on him.

Cai Feng, the minister of war, shrank in the restless crowd, and his face was earthy in fright.

Shen Xu ignored the empress dowager’s condemnation. She just bowed her hand to the little emperor on the dragon chair, and her mouth fell like a stone hammer. The nine-thousand-year-old cruelty and domineering were undoubtedly revealed: “The minister does not insult the holy life, in the imperial city yesterday. Several assassins were arrested among them.”

“Ah!” Xiao Huan exclaimed, his eyes widened and said, “There is such a terrible thing under my nose!”

Before he finished speaking, Jin Yiwei commanded Huo Wei to take a step forward. The yin bird’s gaze collided with Shen Xuan and said in a deep voice: “If you seize the pirates, they should be handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. He brought it into the hall to scare your majesty!”

Shen Xuan slowly raised her eyes, under her temple’s long eyebrows, her cold eyes were as sharp as out-of-sheathing blades. He sneered: “This person is an hired warrior who died. In order to prevent him from biting his tongue and breaking the clues, he had to take a little measure, Wang Wang, Your Majesty Haihan. As for why the Governor should take this person with him. The main hall…”

Shen Xuan paused, scanning the officials with shady eyes, and finally fixed herself on Cai Feng, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and smiled coldly: “Naturally, his master behind the scenes is hiding among these hundred officials.”

As soon as these words were made, the officials were in an uproar, and Cai Feng was so horrified that his face was horrified, his bloated and old figure could not help shaking, and his back was dark in color, his clothes were soaked in cold sweat.

There was constant clamor in the court, and the queen mother was obviously scrupulous and tried to change the subject: “Shen Xuan, do you know what is the crime of framing courtiers?”

Fang Wujing cocked her orchid finger to play with a knife, and smiled softly: “The empress dowager did not listen to the confession and concluded that the factory supervisor was trapped. It was too biased. Or, what are you afraid of, the queen mother?”

Empress Dowager Liang shouted: “Bold! When will the Golden Luang Hall take the turn of you as a servant to speak!”

Fang Wujing rolled his eyes in his heart.

Huo Que stared at the half-dead assassin on the ground and said murderously: “The assassin that Admiral Shen caught yesterday, it is too strange to think about Laixing’s inquiries today. Because there is a day in between, even if there is a confession, it is not ruled out that he was passive. Or the possibility of succumbing to a trick, I hope your majesty will learn from it.”

Shen Xuan calmly said: “It’s not that the governor was doing his hands and feet, but the assassin’s mouth was very hard. The governor had to move his wife and young son to the Dongchang jail, which made him let go and confess. The real culprit behind the scenes. It took a whole night to come back and forth, so it was a little late.”

With a wife as a weak underbelly, it is no wonder that the assassin, who was invited at a high price, let go and confessed to the murderer.

Huo Que’s eyes were cold, his chewing muscles agitated, and he cursed in his heart: Cai Feng, this waste!

Fang Wujing raised his foot and stepped heavily on the back of the assassin’s hand. The assassin screamed, embarrassedly raised his blood-stained face, and made a dying sound with his toothless and leaky mouth, desperately toward Cai Feng. Yelled: “Master Cai…Master Cai save me!”

The assassin was bloody, and although his voice was faint, everyone in the room could hear it clearly. What’s more, he recognized Cai Feng from among the hundred officials. He was obviously an acquaintance. If he said that they had nothing to do with him, even a fool would not believe it.

Cai Feng was so scared that he knelt on the ground with a plop, and said with a trembling: “The minister has been wronged! The Queen Mother Mingjian, the Emperor Mingjian!”

You won’t cry if you don’t see the coffin.

Shen Xuan winked towards Fang Wujing. Fang Wujing understood, took out a **** crime from his arms and handed it to the **** who was standing in front of the temple.

The **** received the confession, but did not present it to the little emperor, but directly sent it to the queen mother.

After reading the guilt, the Queen Mother knew that Cai Feng couldn’t keep it, and she was silent immediately. Fortunately, Cai Feng was originally an embroidered pillow, even if it was broken, it would be nothing, as a gift to Shen Xuan for nothing.

“Since last month, there have been many masters of the rivers and lakes entering the capital, and they disappeared without a trace after entering the city. Obviously, someone was stealing them. After the inspection of the East Factory, it was discovered that these masters were all arranged in the west of the city. It’s in a secluded courtyard, and the owner of the courtyard is Master Cai of the Ministry of War.”

Fang Wujing smiled and said, “If the queen mother and Jin Yiwei don’t believe them, please send someone to investigate.”

The Chaotang faction was solemn, but Cai Feng was trembling and crawling to the ground, making a desperate sob.

The atmosphere was dignified. Xiao Huan couldn’t help but glanced at the queen mother behind the curtain, and asked without opinion: “From what the queen mother saw, how should we sentence the crime of buying murder and murdering important officials?”

The words of the little emperor can be regarded as a conviction for Cai Feng’s crime.

After the Queen Mother Liang said nothing, Huo Wei replied on her behalf: “When the court is fifty, he will be dismissed and exiled.”

Fang Wujing said unfairly, “This is too light!”

Shen Xuan stretched out her hand and motioned to Fang Wujing to silence. He didn’t change his face, and calmly said, “Then give a penalty.”

Shen Xuan’s expression was really too calm, so calm and abnormal. He didn’t hesitate to question him, so how could he end up happily? Empress Dowager Liang was faintly disturbed, always feeling that Shen Xuan still had a back hand, waiting for the opportunity to launch a fatal blow.

According to the ceremony, officials of Tingzhang need Jinyiwei to execute the sentence, and the admiral of Dongchang imprisonment.

Shen Xuan sat on the Grand Master’s chair outside the temple, holding his temple with her hand, her eyes gloomy as she watched Cai Feng being stripped of her official robes, and tied down on the bench like a pig and sheep to be slaughtered, revealing his fat back. .

The executioner Jin Yiwei stood with a stick, and when the stick fell, Cai Feng screamed like a pig.

The two sticks fell, and the crisp sound of the violent beating of flesh and skin echoed in the Jinluang Hall, and everyone’s hearts twitched as if the heavy stick had fallen on their own body.

With six sticks and seven sticks, Cai Feng’s back was high and swollen, bleeding faintly, and his screams turned from prosperous to decline.

At thirty sticks, Cai Feng was already weak and wailing, and his entire back, including his fat buttocks, was covered with flesh.

Forty rods, flesh and blood flying, Cai Feng hung his head and made no sound. His body twitched occasionally as the stick fell, and the air was filled with an unpleasant smell of **** and urine. He was actually incontinent, venting more and less air.

The executioner changed two strokes, and every stick of Jin Yiwei was merciless, using ten percent strength. With these fifty rods down, Cai Feng should be paralyzed for a lifetime, even if he survived.

Shen Xuan smiled coolly, her eyes reflected in the silver suits of the palace, and the chill was pressing. He knew that Huo Wei didn’t want Cai Feng to survive at all, but wanted to take the opportunity to kill him and kill him.

After the fifty clubs were beaten, Cai Feng made no sound at all, not knowing whether it was alive or dead, and was soon dragged down by a stool. Mottled blood was splashed in front of the steps, and the white snow on the eaves was shocking.

The little **** picked up a bucket of water and poured it in front of the steps, rushing away the blood and dirt with a scream, and the white marble stone steps were restored to their former smoothness.

After the sentence was over, Shen Xuan got up, and calmly stepped into the hall facing the fearful gaze of Baiguan.

“Those who deserve to be punished have also been punished. Is Admiral Shen satisfied?” The queen mother said coldly.

Shen Xuan glanced at the ministers, and slowly said: “The Queen Mother is not in a hurry, the minister has yet to report one thing to your majesty.”

Xiao Huan hurriedly said, “Shen Qing, please speak.”

“The assassins of the rivers and lakes that Cai Feng has bought are all very skilled, and the bids are naturally not cheap. Adding up to more than a dozen masters of all sizes, you can get a hundred taels of gold if you don’t mention them, plus the residences and expenses to house these assassins. , The cost is countless. Just ask Cai Feng, a minister of the Ministry of War, his salary is meager, why is there so much silver?”

Shen Xuan paused, and then said: “So, the minister checked Cha Caifeng’s income and expenditure details by the way, but found out that he had colluded with the Xuzhou governor to resell military equipment and swallow military silver in order to make huge profits.”

As soon as this remark came out, like cold water dripping into the boiling oil, there was an uproar in the hall.

“What?!” The little emperor stood up abruptly in shock, and looked at the Queen Mother Liang behind the curtain at a loss, “Mother, why, how could such a thing happen? It’s a rebellious thing!”

“What’s the emperor’s hurry!” The Queen Mother was short of breath, and said with a more serious tone, “Admiral Shen has evidence?”

Shen Xuan said: “Xuzhou governor has been taken down by the superintendent. As for the loopholes in the Ministry of War, if your majesty allows it, the minister will know by checking the account book.”

Xiao Huan immediately said: “I am ready to play!”

“The emperor!” The queen mother gritted her teeth, trying to stop it, but it was too late.

Xiao Huan was frightened, and hurriedly sat back on the dragon chair, and said aggrieved: “Mother, did I say something wrong?”

The emperor Jinkou Yuyan, once the edict came out, it was hard to get over the water.

Shen Xuan raised her cloak and bowed down on one knee, slowly raising her eyes and said: “Chen, take the decree.”

Swallowing military silver and reselling weapons are serious crimes of the Jiu Clan. The Ministry of War Shangshulian is the same crime, and it is necessary to dismiss them for investigation. Empress Dowager Liang leaned weakly on the phoenix chair, her fingers clenched into a fist, her sharp nails pierced into the flesh.

The Ministry of War of the Ai family is completely finished…

She was trembling with hate: What a **** you! Huo Jie just dropped two cold arrows at you, and you have returned to the Laijia even more vigorously! Let’s just wait and see, who can be overwhelmed by others!

Shen Xuan went back to the East Factory, and just dismounted, Wu Youfu, who was sweeping the snow outside the door, greeted him with a smile, and said, “My lord, the eldest princess has been waiting for you in the room for a long time.”

Xiao Changning?

Shouldn’t he be asking for a warrant to leave the house again?

A trace of doubt flashed in Shen Xuan’s mind, her face was calm, and she faintly said’um’, and handed the horse rein to Wu Youfu’s hand, and ordered: “Let Jiang She go to the Ministry of War with Fang Wujing. , Bring all the soldiers back to the East Factory for supervision, and none of them will fall.”

Wu Youfu took the order and left the arrangement.

Shen Xuan calmed down, stepped on the snow and walked straight to the backyard bedroom.

At this time, the sky is sunny, snow is hidden in the eaves, and there is a foggy white everywhere. Xiao Changning was wearing a haze-colored ceremonial gown, with a delicate and solemn hair bun and bright makeup.

Her bright beauty and the elegance of snow blend together, and she is as beautiful as a beautiful and elegant painting.

Shen Xuan couldn’t help but slowed down, lest her full body murder disturbed the beauty in the painting.

The branch above his head could not bear the weight of the snow, and it snapped with a click, and the snow fell, awakening Xiao Changning. After returning to her senses, she could not help but smile when she saw Shen Xuan standing in the snow in front of the court.

The smile was very shallow, but Shen Xuan still saw it. It’s been more than three months, this is the first time Shen Xuan has seen her such a bright and shy smile, so vivid.

He stood silently in the snow, and his gloomy mood dissipated with her pure smile. After a long time, he moved his long legs and walked towards the princess under the porch.

“Enter the house and say.” He took off his cloak and signaled Xiao Changning to enter the house.

This time, Xiao Changning did not hesitate at all, and calmly stepped into the house she had shunned.

“I have seen all the things you gave me.” Xiao Changning stood behind him and said quietly, “I don’t need to spend these silver coins in the future. The style in the palace is newer than the folk’s, and this palace does not lack these. “

Shen Xuan paused, put the cloak on the table, Fang sat down cross-legged, and smiled at her: “The princess is so cute today, what can I ask for?”

Xiao Changning bit his lip.

For a moment, she took two steps towards him with determination, her eyes, which were always shining with cowardly and agile light, were full of determination at this time, staring at him unblinkingly.

Then, in Shen Xuan’s slightly surprised gaze, she folded her hands in front of her forehead, and slowly bowed her knees to give the supreme gift.

“Shen Xu, let’s make an alliance.”
