ambush(1/2)
When I walked out of the palace gate, it was already late. The spring wind blew on my face, and the spring flowers were already blooming in the south of the Yangtze River, and the orioles were singing and dancing.
Meng Yuanjing went straight back to the Shangshu Mansion. When Meng's mother saw him, she immediately said happily: "Yuan Jing, today, I have personally seen Lord Wang's daughter. She looks so good..."
Meng Yuanjing had no time to listen carefully, and said, "Mom, I have something to do. You can just make the decision on these things yourself."
Seeing his son in a hurry and knew that he was busy with business, Meng's mother said, "Okay, I will make the decision. My parents should make the decision in marriage."
Meng Yuanjing sat in the study for a while, and suddenly reported that Wang Jun was visiting.
He was a little surprised and immediately invited Wang Jun into the study.
The two sat down and exchanged greetings. Wang Jun said, "Yuan Jing, we are old friends, and we don't turn around. There is one thing that I have wanted to ask you for a long time, but I have been hiding it in my heart and it's hard to speak..."
"What's the matter?"
"Is Junyu a man or a woman?"
Meng Yuanjing did not speak. Although he had already known Jun Yu's identity, Jun Yu had never personally admitted his identity. How could he admit it to outsiders on her behalf before she personally admitted it?
He neither said yes nor said no, but said, "Could Brother Wang have some doubts?"
Wang Jun said: "To be honest, the person I admire most in my life is Jun Yu. I have never doubted him. However, the emperor's suspicion of Jun Yu is getting deeper and deeper..."
Meng Yuanjing nodded. Now the emperor is going to execute Tuosang halfway, which is naturally based on political considerations. However, if Jun Yu gets the news, he will never stand by. Once she comes forward, the emperor will know the truth of the matter. By that time, Tuosang will naturally be deprived of death, but I am afraid that Jun Yu will be in great danger.
"Where is Junyu?"
Meng Yuanjing smiled bitterly and said, "I haven't heard from her for a long time."
He thought secretly that Jun Yu had never returned to Phoenix Village and had not appeared in the Holy Palace. Where would he go? The escort of Tuosang into Beijing was the first-class secret matter, and I am afraid that she would not get the news for a while. Now, he had no choice but to pray that she would never know about this matter and never fall into such a dangerous situation.

Zhu Yu rode his horse all the way and ran for more than a hundred miles before stopping. There were special marks left by Zhang Yaoxing along the way, but the marks were interrupted at this point. It seemed that there was an obvious change in the middle and the group did not arrive at Yuzhou Prefecture.
There was a fork in front of him. He carefully looked at the messy marks and some blood marks around him, and immediately turned his horse's head and chased him in another direction.
He chased after more than a hundred miles, and there was indeed a mark left by Zhang Yaoxing along the way. At this time, it was ten days late. He followed the mark to a long-deserted temple in the suburbs.
As soon as he arrived at the temple gate, he felt a vigilant atmosphere and slapped it three times. This was a special communication method commonly used by Qianjimen. He also learned it by leading Qianjimen to the Holy Palace to capture Tuosang. Immediately, Zhang Yaoxing opened the temple gate and whispered: "Mr. Zhu, we have been targeted..."
Zhang Yaoxing was injured in one arm, and more than half of the dozen people accompanying Qianjimen had lost their money, leaving only five. The personal monk was no longer there.
"Which force is it?"
"It seems that the Holy Palace wants to force the catastrophe back to 'Bokedo'..."
Xia Ao dragged the iron rod and strode over: "You guys are talking nonsense again. That thief is not a member of the Holy Palace at all. It was you who conspired to do everything possible to harm me, Bokedo, and pretended to be..."
He was very tall, with a large amount of blood on his robe. The dilapidated temple was gloomy and almost reached the roof. In anger, he dragged the iron rod and immediately waved it to Zhang Yaoxing, shaking the dust on the roof falling down.
Sitting in the weeds next to him, Takusan whispered, "Stop!"
Xia Ao glared at Zhang Yaoxing and Zhu Yu fiercely, dragged the iron rod and retreated.
Zhu Yu waved his hand: "The two went out to find something to eat, act carefully, and the others retreated outside and were on guard."
Xia Ao looked at Tuosan, Tuosan nodded, and he walked out with everyone.
Takusang was still sitting there, closing his eyes and reciting scriptures, without moving.
Zhu Yu stared at him for a while and smiled, "Tuosang, you are worthy of being Bokedo. You can never frown when your beloved woman dies."
Tuosan slowly opened his eyes, his eyes shining brightly: "You can harm her?"
"You underestimate Zhu too much."
"I will not underestimate you, but believe in Junyu. Although you are vicious, your skills are not as good as hers, and she will never be confused by your sweet words!"
Zhu Yu laughed: "How could the person Zhu hates to allow her to live in this world? Now, Jun Yu is dead, your life and death are nothing to do with me..."
Tuosang slowly raised his hands with shackles. He knew that Zhu Yu rushed to Shuzhong with resentment, and had also seen Zhu Yu's way of executing Yangjin. He said he didn't believe it, but Zhu Yu's laughter pierced into his heart like a spike. Just listening to the words "Jun Yu is dead" made him almost crazy.
Zhu Yu saw Tuosang almost crazy for the first time, and laughed smugly. His internal injuries had not yet healed, and he ran for half a day. With this smile, his blood and blood surged, and he couldn't help but spew a mouthful of blood.
Seeing that he looked pale and was seriously injured, Tuosan was obviously after a fight and couldn't help but feel even more frightened. Suddenly, when he saw that all the smiles in his eyes were gone, there was a completely unscrupulous and profound sadness.
Tuosan had already made great achievements in practicing the mind-calculating technique. He immediately realized that a person who had just done a great evil thing would not have such a look no matter what. He sighed, sat back, closed his eyes.
Zhu Yu was furious: "Tuosang, what do you mean?"
Takusan still closed his eyes and said nothing.
"Jun Yu is really blind and will like you, a bald donkey who doesn't even care about her life and death!"
Takusan ignored his roar at all, and after a while, he said, "I just finally figured out one thing! How could a person who is willing to jump with her in the moment of avalanche?!"
Zhu Yu seemed to have been stabbed in the heart, lowered his head and leaned against the wall of the dilapidated temple, closing his eyes like Tuosang, and couldn't speak for a while.
The sky was completely dark. Xia Ao Lama, Zhang Yaoxing and others rested in the outside of the dilapidated temple.
Zhu Yu stood up straight, walked over, untied Tuosang's handshakes.
Originally, according to etiquette, even the deposed Bokedo should have given him a gift from the capital. At that time, Zhu Yu hated Tuosang very much and forced himself to take the initiative to bring him handshakes. Naturally, it was not because he was afraid that he would run away but because he was trying to humiliate him. This was one of the reasons why the Holy Palace was even more dissatisfied.
Zhu Yu had just untied his shackles, but suddenly he was caught by Tuo Sang. The palm he slapped his chest was already very injured, and when he ran around and laughed wildly, he was even more shocked. Now that Tuo Sang was caught, how could he move?
He said angrily: "Taosan, what do you want to do?"
Tuosan ignored him and put his palm on his vest. Zhu Yu felt a heater rise in the vest, and his limbs were immediately relaxed. He understood Tuosan's intentions and became even more furious and struggled violently: "Damn bald donkey, let go..."
After Tuosang practiced the mind-calming technique, his skills were more diligent than before. Even if Zhu Yu was intact, he was far from his opponent. How could he struggle at the moment when he was injured?
Seeing that he was struggling hard, Tuosan simply sealed his acupoints and stuffed a pill into his mouth. It took half an hour to slap his acupoints.
Zhu Yu stood up. He hated Tuo Sang to the core and would rather die than receive his favor. However, in this situation, Tuo Sang forced his skills to heal his wounds. He was both hated and angry in his heart, and attacked Tuo Sang with one palm: "Damn bald donkey, why are you like this?"
Tuosan avoided the palm and stared at him: "You are despicable by any means and you are not worthy of saving yourself..."
Zhu Yu also stared at him and sneered: "Tuosang, do you think I will be guilty and frame you? No, I don't feel guilty at all. You are in Buddhism but your six senses are not pure. You violate the rules and precepts first. You deserve it."
Tuosang nodded. His first heartbeat had already violated the laws of heaven: "I deserve it and should have been punished by the Buddha long ago. In this matter, except for the innocent Yangjin and Zhu Yu, you did nothing wrong. However, you are still not worthy of saving. I am not a saint. The reason for this is that it is because 'she' owe you a lot of affection, so I will give it back to you!"
Zhu Yu sneered: "Tuosang, you don't have to pretend. She didn't owe me any kindness. Even if she owe me any kindness, it's not your turn to repay it..."
"The love she owes is the love I owed! You will jump with her in the avalanche. This love is too strong, so I forgive you for your past actions. From now on, we have to face each other, and the two have nothing to do..."
"The love she owes is the love I owed!" Zhu Yu heard this, his mind buzzed, remembering the laughter of flowers when Jun Yu and him ran out of the secret passage in the secret room. It was the tender charm she had never felt when facing herself or anyone else. For a moment, Zhu Yu felt his chest blocked, and he could not refute it in half a sentence. The internal injury that had just been stabilized seemed to be tearing apart in his heart again.
He looked at Takusan. Although Takusan's identity was deposed and he became a prisoner, when he said "The love she owes is the love I owed", his expression was so happy and natural.
Even more heartbroken, Zhu Yu said, "Tuosang, your hypocritical saint looks really annoying. It makes me feel disgusted if you look at it more..." He laughed proudly again, "Fortunately, you will never see her again in this life! When I think of this, I feel very happy, you bald donkey..."
He suddenly remembered that he had also scolded Jun Yu, "You look like a saint, makes me very annoyed." His heart aches and could no longer say anything. He turned around and looked at the night outside.
Tuosang shook his head, closed his eyes, and sat on the ground motionlessly, unable to even recite the scriptures. He talked a lot of nonsense with Zhu Yu, only this sentence is true, "You will never see her again in this life!"
"She must be fine now! I hope she will never know about this and will never fall into any danger again!" He sighed in his heart, and the night outside the window had completely enveloped the dilapidated temple.

At the agreed location, as soon as Meng Yuanjing entered, Shi Hongni immediately closed the door himself, and behind her was her sister Shi Lanni.
The three of them sat down and Shi Lanni said, "Brother, there are rumors in the palace now. Everyone says that Mr. Jun is a woman in a suit for men. Although the emperor ordered no one to talk about it, rumors in private cannot be resisted. They say that Mr. Jun is afraid of his identity being exposed, so he resigned and retired, fearing that he would never return to the court after a year of vacation. Brother, you and Mr. Jun are childhood sweethearts. Do you know his true identity?"
Meng Yuanjing did not answer, but asked, "Lanni, is there someone making things difficult for you sisters again?"
Shi Hongni hurriedly said, "These days, Concubine Mei has been pregnant with a dragon fetus, and now the queen is jealous of her. There is news that her father is active, but she is afraid that Mr. Jun will not come back, and he will take over the post of Marshal of the Army. At that time, I am afraid..." She thought about it and said, "Mr. Jun saved his sister twice. If he is in the court, he will definitely help our sisters."
Concubine Mei comes from a noble family of Shixun. Her father holds heavy troops. If she gives birth to a son and a queen, under such double attacks, even though Shi Lanni's sisters are full of beauty and the holy favor Shanglong will be in danger.
Now, the two sisters are very concerned about it, hoping that Jun Yu and cousin will be in the court, and that the two have great military power, which is a great deterrent to other concubines.
Shi Lanni said: "Brother, do you think Jun Gongzi will return to the court after the holiday ends?"
Meng Yuanjing shook his head: "I'm afraid she won't come back."
Shi Lanni's flowery face was gloomy: "Brother, is Mr. Jun really a woman?"
"Lanni, don't worry. Even if Jun Yu is not here, and if I and Wang Jun are here, no one dares to bully you."
Seeing that his cousin did not answer directly, the two sisters could not ask anything, so they had to give up.
After talking to her cousin, Meng Yuanjing felt depressed and returned home with a sunny end.
In the garden of Shangshu Mansion, flowers bloomed in full bloom and the fragrance of clothes was filled with fragrance. The female family members coming and going embellished this garden even more in a magnificent and beautiful way.
This is a flower party that Meng Mu has planned for a long time. It has invited many famous daughters in the capital, especially the "key objects" she is optimistic about when the matchmaker gave the picture, and there is no missing any of them.
Over the past few days, she has been busy working for her son's marriage. Although there are many candidates she likes, her son is unwilling to take a look at any of them.
Although her son asked her to make the decision, she thought that her younger brother had been depressed for more than 20 years because of the unsatisfactory marriage and finally died of illness in his prime. Because of this, she really hoped that her son would have a happy marriage.
What she likes most was Wang Hanlin's daughter, and she also mentioned it to her son many times, but her son was absent-minded every time. Therefore, she specially held this flower party, in the name of appreciating flowers, and asked her son to personally meet the daughters of each family, hoping that he could choose one he liked.
Today, her sister-in-law Fang Gege is here to serve as a counselor for her.
Although Fang Ge only showed his face in the garden, he immediately shocked the audience. The beauties in the capital were originally fat and thin, and they all considered themselves as beautiful as immortals. However, when they saw this middle-aged woman appearing, they were more or less ashamed of themselves.
However, she only showed her side and immediately entered the inner room.
Meng's mother smiled and said, "Prince, if you come here a few more times, those daughters will not dare to enter the gate of the Shangshu Mansion."
But Fang Gege was unintentionally joking and said, "Sister, I came here today because I have something to ask you. Now, it is rumored in the palace that Yuan Jing's childhood sweetheart Jun Yu is a female companion in men's clothing. Do you know this?"
