At this time, the restaurant on the street was still open, and Xiang Xiao and Si Yiluo drank happily. There were about a dozen empty wine jars lying on the ground. Xiang Xiao drank quickly and urgently, and Si Yiluo accompanied him and also drank.
A lot.
People passing by outside the restaurant glanced inside and whistled into the darkness.
There was a sound of breaking through the air, and Si Yiluo grabbed the empty wine jar on the ground and threw it in front of Xiang Xiao, blocking an incoming dart for him.
She put one hand on the table, raised her foot and kicked the person who was attacking with the knife in the chest, and kicked him out of the restaurant door.
Xiang Xiao came to his senses, lifted a bench and threw it on the killer who was surrounding him, and he was sober in an instant.
"Who are these people?"
The restaurant manager was so frightened that he hid behind the counter and did not dare to say a word. When the other patrons saw that something was wrong, they hurried to the backyard and hid.
While talking, the other party took advantage of the large number of people and swarmed forward. Si Yiluo grabbed a weapon and threw it to him.
"Their target is you, maybe from Beiliao!"
Xiang Xiao raised his sword and cut down several people, then cursed loudly: "The imperial court just negotiated peace with Bei Liao, why did they kill me?"
Northern Liao was internally unstable, and only a few people knew about it. Xiang Xiao happened to know the news when he received a letter from the Marquis of Xiping.
"His uncle wants to sow discord between my father and the imperial court. It depends on whether he agrees or not!"
In the important place of the capital, if something happens to Prince Xipinghou in the market, the imperial court will inevitably be held responsible. If someone with good intentions then spreads the news that Xipinghou intends to rebel, Emperor Yao will definitely fall into the trap because of his suspicion.
There was constant friction between the Northern Liao Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Marquis of Xiping had been stationed at Liangzhou Guard for many years. Changing generals meant there was an opportunity to take advantage of them.
The people behind the scenes have ulterior motives.
The more people were killed, the more Xiang Xiao asked: "Si Yiluo, don't you Jin Yiwei have a contact signal?"
Si Yiluo thought more than he did. Although this place was not considered a busy city, it was not considered remote either. There was such a large-scale fight on the street, and no one from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division had reacted yet.
Whether it was a dereliction of duty or intentionality is very intriguing.
A wisp of purple fireworks shot up into the night sky outside the restaurant, and the nearby Jin Yiwei rushed in first.
The killers retreated while fighting. Si Yiluo's face was stained with blood. Without giving them a chance, the Jin Yiwei who received the signal and rushed over sealed the exit.
"Catch them alive!"
The killers had no way out, so they bit out the poison hidden in their mouths. Everyone knew that being in prison was worse than death. In the blink of an eye, there were only corpses left in the restaurant.
The people from the Wucheng Army and Horses Division arrived belatedly. The leader smelled of alcohol and was sluggish in his steps. He had obviously just come down from the wine table.
Si Yiluo's subordinates were counting the corpses, and she looked at the leader with eyes no different from those of a dead person.
"Drinking alcohol while on duty and neglecting one's duties. According to the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, one will be given fifty severe punishments and be demoted one level."
The man reacted for a long time, and before he woke up from the wine, he pointed at her nose and cursed: "Do you know who I am? I am Eunuch Sihai's biological brother! With Governor Wei on his back, who do you think Jin Yiwei is? Dare to touch him?
Lao Tzu?”
Si Yiluo glanced at him and recalled the identity of this person in his mind.
Si Haiben seems to have an older brother in his family, but he is not a biological brother, but a distant cousin.
By relying on Si Hai, he had a casual position in the Wucheng Military and Horse Department. He was the number one loser under Wei Heyan. He felt that he was valued when some nasty things were left to him.
He was claimed to be Si Hai's biological brother. Later, because he offended too many people, his head was covered and hung from a tree in a mass grave outside the city.
No matter what the real situation is, he has the label of Wei Heyan on him.
At this juncture, what was the reason for creating a conflict between her and Wei Heyan?
…
Where can Zhou Zhan and Shen Moran sleep after returning home?
The couple sat across from each other at the table. Tonight, Shen Moran took the opportunity to clarify the reason why he did not stay in the hospital on the wedding night, which somewhat restored his already tarnished reputation.
But we can also see Emperor Yao's attitude tonight.
Zhou Zhan rubbed his eyebrows and said in a low voice: "The princess is afraid that she will be in vain. What happened tonight...how does the princess feel?"
He didn't say it clearly, but his probing tone annoyed Shen Moran.
After all, the two of them were now considered a couple in need. They had just gone to hell, and even she felt something was wrong. She didn't believe that he didn't notice it!
Zhou Chang's temptation would not cause any substantial harm to them, but Wei Heyan was too scary. They couldn't figure out his temper or what he wanted.
"Your Highness has been drinking tonight, so you should go to bed early. I won't send you away."
Shen Moran felt blessed, stood up and walked to the dressing table, took off the beaded hairpin and stared at the person in the mirror.
She also has a temper, right?
"Your Highness, as a human being, you have to pay in order to be rewarded. Your Highness has taken all the advantages. Is Your Highness bullying a weak woman like me and can only marry chickens and dogs?"
Calling him a dog in disguise... Zhou Zhan covered his lips and chuckled.
The beauty's cold eyebrows reminded him of the time she protected him at the palace banquet tonight.
He stood up, walked over, and started to help her remove the hairpin.
"I dare not trouble Your Highness."
Shen Moran lowered his eyes, Zhou Zhan leaned over and held her in his arms, sighing: "Don't be angry, we are husband and wife. It's wrong of me to test you, but I also want to know whether my princess is smart enough, and whether she can Come with me to the end."
This was his purpose in testing her.
Men are easily emotional, but Zhou Zhan is not an emotional person. At first he just thought she was a little different, but later he found that she was quite interesting and couldn't help but want to tease her.
Shen Moran said angrily: "I thought you wanted to talk to me openly and honestly."
"Isn't all of this king's wealth in the hands of the princess... I have only shown my body to the princess. How else does the princess want to be honest..."
Shen Moran slapped his inappropriate hand away.
"If A Luo hadn't been here tonight, we don't know what kind of accident would have happened to our couple. Is Your Highness really incapable of dealing with it?"
The sense of oppression emanating from Wei Heyan tonight was like a nightmare, and the two of them still have lingering fears.
Zhou Zhan sighed: "I'm afraid the only person who can match Wei Heyan's level is Mr. Si."
I thought that the little girl in his arms would despise him for being incompetent, but unexpectedly she immediately answered: "I believe in A Luo, as long as she is here, nothing will happen to us."
Zhou Zhan pondered for a long time, he praised Si Yiluo, but from the tone of his princess's voice, why was it as if he was praising her?
Zhou Zhan pondered her words and asked, "The relationship between the princess and Master Si seems to be deeper than what outsiders see."
Shen Moran retorted: "It's not as good as the friendship between His Highness and A Luo."
The couple looked at each other and discussed the topic tacitly.
Regardless of whether she knew that Si Yiluo had taken refuge with him before tonight, or she only found out about it tonight, the matter was at this point, and there was no point in being more serious.
Zhou Zhan coughed lightly, covered his chest and said: "I was frightened today, my chest is a little tight, my legs are weak and I can't walk..."
He looked so weak that he had taken off his vest and started to act shamelessly!
Do you want to hang around and not leave?
Shen Moran didn't want him to get his wish, so he opened the door and called Hongying.
"Your prince is not feeling well, go and ask for the imperial doctor."
The person behind him raised his eyebrows. Shen Moran didn't care what he thought. She had cried in the palace tonight. How could she deserve her tears unless Zhou Chang's facts against them were confirmed!
Zhou Zhan lay back on the soft and comfortable bed, turned over, and touched several acupuncture points with his fingers. When Shen Moran came back after giving instructions, he was shocked to see that his face was as pale as paper, with more air coming out and less air coming in. .
"Your Highness, are you okay?"
She stepped forward and touched his forehead. The cold skin made her fingers tremble. After a moment of surprise, she put her fingers under his nose.
And the tone...
Isn't it really uncomfortable? Shen Moran said in a panic: "Come, come quickly! Your Highness, he is dying..."
Zhou Zhan blinked hard with his tightly closed eyes. How could he hear a hint of urgency in her tone...
Chapter completed!
