Chapter 132 You dare to be the first year of the first year
evening.
In the Zhongguo Duke's Mansion, Marquis Zhongcheng and Shen Ao were eating at the table, with delicacies and wine in front of them.
"Ao'er, you must have heard the rumors outside. Haha, some people are really afraid that the world will not be in chaos." After Zhongcheng Hou took a big sip of wine, he showed a look of contempt on his face.
The news that Shen Ao looked down on the prince and said some inappropriate words had already spread all over the streets. Marquis Zhongcheng did not believe that these words came from Shen Ao. Over the past year, he had seen Shen Ao's changes. In my eyes, I am happy in my heart. Although my nephew is only sixteen years old, he is very mature in mind. Many times when talking to him, people can't help but feel like they are of the same age. How can such a mature person do this? Show off such bravery of words?
Shen Ao would never do such a thing that has no benefit at all. This must be a rumor deliberately spread by someone, just to hurt the prince's face. And those people, Marquis Zhongcheng, could guess it without investigating. They were headed by King Xiang and King Qing.
Marquis Zhongcheng could see clearly, so how could Shen Ao not understand? He admired the other party's reaction. Not long after the incident happened, the truth was misinterpreted and spread throughout the city. It seems that there are many other things in Guochanglong's general store. Human eyeliner.
What is true cannot be false, and what is false cannot be true. The eldest princess, herself, and the more than a hundred people present at the time are all very clear about the truth of the matter. In the end, the truth will be restored. As for the prince, it is certain that he will lose face. , but as long as he is not impulsive, he will not fall into the opponent's trap.
"Uncle, there is nothing to fear from my nephew. Guo Changlong can be touched by anyone who wants to. Xianweiju has also arranged some guards there, so there will be no problem. But uncle, you still have to be careful in the court. Some." Shen Ao said with a caring tone.
"It's okay, it's not that easy to deal with my uncle. If the emperor doesn't nod, nothing will happen." Shen Yunyi said nonchalantly and confidently.
Although Shen Ao didn't know what kind of confidence his uncle had, he knew from the time he smashed Prince Xiang's car and was only fined a salary that there was a reason for daring to say this. As for what it was, Shen Yunyi didn't say. , Shen Ao wouldn't ask, the reason why a secret is a secret is because you don't know it. Once you know it, it won't be a secret anymore!
"There is no need to worry about my nephew and uncle. This time, it is the eldest princess who really refutes the prince's reputation. My nephew just happened to meet him at the right time." Shen Ao didn't care anymore. Now the security forces around him have been strengthened. Quite a few, even if some people are arranged to go to Xianweiju, there are still 60 people in the Zhongguo Duke's mansion. Some of them have not had a chance to show themselves, and are still slaves. They are thinking of making meritorious deeds. If anyone is here to cause trouble for themselves, It will definitely make it unable to eat and carry it around.
Neither uncle nor nephew were afraid, and they started to talk more and more in common. Under Shen Ao's deliberate flattery, Shen Yunyi also talked about many things about leading troops to fight, but only about Shen Ao's father, Shen Yuntian, didn't have much to do. He talked a lot and drank a lot of wine. In the end, he even started to feel tipsy.
It is difficult to ride a horse when you are drunk. King Qing was injured immediately after falling, and the eldest princess's horse was also killed immediately. This seems to be a high-risk profession. How could Shen Ao let his uncle take risks? At the moment, he is generally not very useful. The soft sedan was carried out and asked to take the uncle back home.
After Shen Yunyi left, Shen Ao also returned to his bedroom, washed himself and prepared to fall asleep. After all, in this year and age, apart from going to some romantic places to spend money, there are no other entertainment items. It became a habit to go to bed early.
Shen Ao was just about to take off his coat when the sound of hurried footsteps came over, "Master, things have gone bad. Marquis Zhongcheng has been robbed and killed."
Shen Ao, who had already taken off one sleeve, was startled when he heard this, and the door was quickly opened from the outside, "What did you say?"
Shen Ao, with wide eyes, appeared in front of the guard captain Shi Lei, like a tiger about to be released from the cage, his whole body was filled with evil aura.
"Someone just came to report that in the alley two streets away, our sedan chair of the Zhongguo Palace was attacked. The people who happened to be passing by saw it and ran over to tell us." When Shi Lei said this, he also Some are excited, but more are angry. No matter who is sitting in the car, just attacking the soft sedan with the lantern of the Duke of Zhongguo is enough to make him, the captain of the guard, angry.
Shen Ao pays great attention to neighborhood relations. Don't the old people often say that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors? From time to time, if there is something delicious here, Shen Ao will arrange for his guards to give some to the neighbors. Over time, everyone knows that Duke Zhongguo is a good person. Good people, now that they see that the sedan chair of the Zhongguo Palace has been attacked, they naturally run over to report it as soon as possible.
"Gather the people together, let's go take a look." Shen Ao wanted to ask how his uncle was doing, but considering that Shi Lei came over to report as soon as he heard the news, he must not have known about it, so he decided to go to the scene to take a look together.
Of the sixty guards in the mansion, ten were left to take charge of daily defense. The other fifty followed Shen Ao and rushed out of the Zhongguo Duke's mansion, heading straight for the location of the incident.
It was already dark, and it was already less than a quarter of an hour before the curfew. You should not go out during this time. But Shen Ao, who was concerned about his uncle's safety, would not care about this. He rushed out of the house with a large team of people, only the spirit The monkey was still on his shoulder, but even the bullock cart was far behind.
There was a distance of two streets, and everyone arrived quickly as they ran. Still far away, there was already a smell of blood rushing towards his face. This was the first time Shen Ao smelled such a smell, and he couldn't help but frown, feeling in his heart Although he felt uncomfortable, considering his uncle's safety, he didn't care so much and didn't slow down at all.
On the street, eight figures were swaying in all directions. When he ran closer and saw this scene, Shen Ao felt a bang in his head and said anxiously in his heart, "Uncle, don't let anything happen to you." , don’t get into trouble.”
On the other hand, Shi Lei and others who were following him were relatively calm. They first arranged some guards to guard the left and right sides to prevent unpredictable things from happening in the dark. The others quickly pounced on the corpse to see who had fallen. Is there anyone alive?
A total of eight people fell. Four of them were bearers of the Zhongguo Duke's mansion and were recognized at a glance. Two more were soldiers of the Marquis of Zhongcheng and were also recognized. The remaining two were a stranger. Among the middle-aged men, there was also Marquis Zhongcheng. Fortunately, the other seven were already dead. Only Marquis Zhongcheng was still alive and even opened his eyes after being found by the guards. , when he saw his nephew Shen Ao rushing toward him, he forced a smile.
"Uncle, how are you? Do you feel uncomfortable? Come on, go find a doctor, quickly!" Shen Ao, who ran up to him and knelt down on the ground, asked eagerly.
Having never enjoyed father's love since he was a child, Shen Yunyi took care of Shen Ao like a father and grew up with him. It is no exaggeration to say that in Shen Ao's heart, Shen Yunyi has long been regarded as a father. Now. If something happened to him, how could he not be anxious?
"It's okay. My uncle is fine. He's not dead yet. By the way, the murderer is King Jin's dead soldier. I'm afraid he should be targeting Ao'er. You must be careful in the future and take more people with you when you go out. Don't...don't be impulsive." He took a breath and had a forced smile on his face. After saying this, Marquis Zhongcheng fainted.
Shi Lei and Feng Xun, who were supporting Shen Yunyi, noticed that the place where they started was already a little sticky. Looking through the lantern, they saw that it was full of blood. Then they discovered that there was a wound as long as an arm on Hou Zhongcheng's back, which was almost as long as his forearm. It penetrates the entire body. Although it is not fatal, if there is excessive bleeding, it will inevitably be life-threatening.
"Master, seek treatment immediately, don't hesitate." Feng Xun looked at it and said in a worried tone.
"Carry it back as smoothly as possible, and at the same time ask for the best doctor to treat injuries. Nothing will happen to your uncle." There was a sense of loneliness in Shen Ao's voice. He had just passed the period of voice change, and his voice was still a little hoarse. Because of this, hearing these words gives people a creepy feeling.
He had brought a single frame with him when he came. This was done when Shen Ao had nothing to do. He was afraid that he would use it when he was injured. Now it came in handy. Feng Xun immediately helped Marquis Zhongcheng to him. On the single stand, the whole person is lying down to avoid squeezing the wound, which may cause secondary injuries.
Shen Ao did not go back with him. He believed that Feng Xun, a calm man, would definitely arrange everything and rescue his uncle. And what he wants to do now is revenge.
People say that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
Shen Ao never claimed to be a gentleman, so naturally he could not wait ten years or even one night for revenge.
Shen Yunyi has already said that the murderer was a dead soldier of the King of Jin, and the attacker was the soft sedan chair of the Zhongguo Palace. He was afraid that they might not have understood the situation and thought that the person in the sedan was him, so these people should be targeting him. .
During the day, the prince had just lost face, but at night he was assassinated. The person who came was the dead man of the prince's backer, King Jin. It was already clear who did this. It was the prince who wanted to kill him, so he did it in the first year of junior high school. Then others must be allowed to be fifteen. What happened to the prince? In Shen Ao's eyes, he never thought that he should be superior.
"Drive the carriage over and go to the East Palace."
Shen Ao is determined to ask for an explanation. If the result does not satisfy him, Shen Ao doesn't mind giving a big one to let some people know the consequences of provoking him. Let some people know that if he is angered, he will The identity of the prince does not matter.
"Young Master, let's go back and see Marquis Zhongcheng first." Shi Lei suggested to the side. He knew what the master was going to do, but that was the East Palace, and the person living in it was the prince, the prince of a country, how could he just say that he could see him in person? of?
