Chapter 13
Seeing him holding the sword in his arms, Ling Zhi felt happy, and felt happy. He touched his forehead, and the fever subsided, but the imperial doctor was not lying.
"Do you remember what you did just now?"
"Huh? Just now?"
Xie Ran really burned the film, until now he thought that he had slept all the time, and accidentally got up late.
"Well, let me tell you a story. I know a man who is usually serious, and he is a high official. Who knew that he would act like a child after he was sick, and he would not say anything, but hug him. Holding other people's arms without letting go, acting like a baby while drinking medicine, tsk tsk tsk."
Xie Ran "???"
"Guess who it is?"
Xie Ran was shocked, and stared at him silently, and at the same time, the roots of his ears started to turn red.
"Tsk, you're still shy."
Ling Zhi decided not to tell him that the imperial doctor and all the maids and guards had already seen what he did just now, lest he become angry and silence others.
"Okay, okay, I won't laugh at you, are you hungry, go eat." Ling Zhi patted Xie Ran on the shoulder.
Xie Ran is not as lazy as Ling Zhi, he can put on his clothes and put them on neatly.
When Xiaodie brought the food, she backed out winkingly, not to be a light bulb, so as not to be stared at by her family's book adults.
"Drink some water first." Ling Zhi poured him a glass of warm water.
Xie vinegar jar took the water, and suddenly remembered the private meeting between Ling Zhi and the girl, and asked, "Where did you go just now? Did you meet anyone?"
"Didn't I tell you, I went shopping in the market, why do you think I met someone?" Ling Zhi decided not to talk about Sheng Qianyu, he couldn't judge whether Xie Ran would treat the orphan of the Sheng family. There is hostility, Sheng Qianyu is his friend and innocent at the same time, he is afraid that Xie Ran will kill the grass and roots.
Xie Ran couldn't admit that he sent a secret guard to follow Ling Zhi, but he was also upset that he met an unknown girl without telling him, so he said in a bad manner, "I smell you smell of makeup."
Seeing his inexplicable expression, Ling Zhi also became unhappy, and his aggressive nature couldn't hide it, "There are so many girls on the street, so I accidentally rubbed against them. Besides, what do you care about? You are so lenient."
Xie Ran's jealousy was overturned immediately, and he was even more annoyed when he said it, Ling Zhi secretly went to meet a beautiful girl, and it was fine, and he kept it from him!Actually hide it from him!Also said that he managed wide?Isn't he just asking!
Xie Ran's stomach hurts when he gets angry, and at this moment his stomach started to have cramps again.
"Don't eat, take it all away." Xie Ran put down his chopsticks and called a maid to come over.
"Wait, how many bites have you eaten? Eat some more."
"Don't eat!"
"If you don't eat it, then don't eat it. What kind of bad temper is this?" Ling Zhi gave him a white look.
Xie Ran hadn't lost his temper enough, and was about to speak, when suddenly there was a suffocation-like pain in his chest—it was poisoned again.
Even if he takes the antidote, the poison will often attack suddenly without warning, and this is the case now.
Explosive pain, Xie Ran's eyes turned black from the pain, he covered his mouth, coughed uncontrollably, every time he coughed, his chest throbbed, but he couldn't stop coughing.
"Thank you!" Ling Zhi hurried forward to pat him on the back.Seeing the blood overflowing from between the fingers covering his mouth, he was in so much pain that he couldn't speak, his face became paler and paler, Ling Zhi said, "This won't work, just bear with me and I'll call the imperial doctor for you!" He quickly ran out to call the imperial doctor.
As soon as Ling Zhi walked away, the window frame of the back foot suddenly "clicked". Before Xie Ran could react, the entire window had been completely cracked, and a figure flashed in quickly, holding a long sword in his hand, and aimed straight at Xie Ran. throat.
If it was normal, those assassins would certainly not be his opponents, but Xie Ran was venomous, his eyes turned black, he dodged the fatal blow instinctively, and at the same time suppressed the poison with his internal force.
Fortunately, he has been holding the sword that Ling Zhi gave him just now, and now he only has a weapon in his hand, so he won't catch the sword empty-handed.
Xie Ran drew his sword, blocked the man's fierce moves, and when he fixed his eyes, it turned out to be a female assassin.She didn't cover her face, probably because she also knew that Xie Ran didn't know her either.
If Ling Zhi was present, he must have recognized Sheng Qianyu who had just met.
This should be the sentence, no coincidence is not a book.Sheng Qianyu heard that Xie Ran was passing through Jing'an City, so he decided to assassinate him on a temporary basis, and ran into Ling Zhi again when he was preparing to buy a sword.
If Sheng Qianyu hadn't seen the intimacy of the inscription on the sword, Ling Zhi might have known about her assassination plan.But the word "Ran" was really suspicious, Sheng Qianyu had a good intuition and guessed Xie Ran.
Xie Ran kicked up the table and smashed it at Sheng Qianyu.Sheng Qianyu was forced to take a few steps back, and the table fell to the ground with a loud noise.Hearing the noise, the guards immediately ran towards this side, Ling Zhi went downstairs more than halfway, and hurriedly ran upstairs to Xie Ran's room in three steps at a time.
Far water can't quench the near thirst, and the ultimate move is close at hand, Xie Ran can't wait for others, and can only rely on himself.However, all of his internal energy is used to suppress the toxicity, so it is difficult to separate a trace of internal energy to fight against the enemy at this time.Fortunately, Sheng Qianyu's martial arts is not high, even if Xie Ran lost her internal strength, she still couldn't gain the upper hand.
Just when Xie Ran found her weak spot and stabbed her heart with a sword, Sheng Qianyu did not dodge, but went forward instead, preferring to take this fatal blow to kill Xie Ran.If a person is not afraid of death and fights with his life, it will be completely different if he insists on a life-and-death situation.
Xie Ran immediately used his poisonous hair to dodge with his inner strength, the tip of the sword was still pointing towards Sheng Qianyu's vitals, but the person had already moved out of her reach.
When Ling Zhi rushed in, seeing that Sheng Qianyu was about to be pierced by Xie Ran's sword, he hurriedly shouted, "Stop!"
Xie Ran paused, knowing that she was an enemy but not a friend, but still listened to Ling Zhi's words, and forcibly withdrew the sword, the sword barely touched Sheng Qianyu's left arm and retracted.
Sheng Qianyu didn't stop, instead, taking advantage of this accident, he stabbed down with his sword, the force was so great that the whole sword went into Xie Ran's abdomen, and directly stabbed him through.
Everything was so sudden that not only Ling Zhi, but also Xie Ran was stunned.Sheng Qianyu took advantage of this opportunity to spin the hilt of the sword in his hand. Only then did Xie Ran feel the severe pain and kicked Sheng Qianyu to the ground.She was still holding the sword in her hand, and when she was kicked out, the sword was pulled out abruptly, and Xie Ran's wound immediately bled profusely.
Then the guards rushed forward and quickly subdued Sheng Qianyu.
Xie Ran covered his abdomen with one hand, and stood up straight while leaning on the wall with the other.
"My lord, how to deal with this assassin?"
"Kill it."
"Wait!" Ling Zhi ran over to support Xie Ran, "Xie Ran, can you spare her life?"
Xie Ran looked at him deeply, and said after a while, "The person you met today is probably her."
"She is the youngest daughter of the Sheng family. Both her father and brother died at your hands. Just let her go."
"Let her go? Do I look magnanimous?" Xie Ran remembered that the two met without telling him, and his anger immediately ignited.
"But you were at fault for this matter. After all, her father and brother were charged with unwarranted charges because of you, and they were all executed, so it's understandable that she wanted to kill you."
Ling Zhi has always been opposed to Xie Ranwang's practice of killing innocent people, and in a moment of urgency, he even said everything that should be said and should not be said. By the time he realized that these words might anger Xie Ran, it was already too late.
"Okay, it's so pitiful," Xie Ran laughed back angrily, "I don't make sense to say so—let her go."
Sheng Qianyu accepted it as soon as he saw it, and left immediately without looking back.Seeing that Xie Zhongshu was burning with anger, the guards quickly saluted and left the room.
For a moment, there were only the two of them left in the room, and the atmosphere was frighteningly frozen.
"Xie Ran, that's not what I meant." Ling Zhi knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, he knew that Xie Ran only looked gentle, but his temper was not small at all.
"No, you're right, and it's not just her father and brother who died at my hands. With so many people, I only have one life, and I don't know if it's enough to pay for it."
"Stop talking, your wound is still bleeding, let me take care of it for you first, okay?" Ling Zhi said as he was about to step forward, but Xie Ran pushed him away.
"After all, I am a courtier who disturbs the country, and I am so ruthless and merciless." Xie Ran's body swayed, and he was a little unsteady on his feet. "Do you think I can be as tolerant to all those who want to kill me as I am to you?" ?!"
"Do you know why I tolerate you alone?"
"Because I like you! I'm interested in you!" Xie Ran sneered, "So whatever you say is what you say. If you think that I deserve my life and deserve it, then I'll do it to you. How about you give me another sword to relieve my anger? "
Ling Zhi was stunned for a moment.
Happy?Is it the kind he understands, the kind of joy between husband and wife?
Xie Ran had already reached the end of his strong bow, and finally couldn't hold it any longer. He trembled all over, and then spit out a mouthful of blood. He fell backwards and fell unconscious.
"Just now the imperial doctor said that your lord, coupled with the onset of toxicity in the body, and a sudden burst of anger, suddenly vomited blood and passed out." Xiaodie called Ling Zhi out of the room.
"Toxic attack?"
"My lord won't let me say some things, but even if he wakes up and punishes me, I still have to say it," Xiaodie said seriously, "I hinted at you earlier, he treats you better than you imagined."
"Do you know why you can stand here alive, and still have a chance to stun him? Who do you think gave you the secret letter that tipped off the Ling Mansion before the disaster?"
Ling Zhi was shocked, "Could it be Xie Ran?"
"Of course! Besides him, who else do you think would dare to risk their lives for you? Who would dare to say a word for the Ling family, regardless of whether they are treacherous or loyal? He is the only one!"
Ling Zhi half opened his mouth, unable to speak a word.
"Your Excellency firmly opposes the emperor's punishment of the nine clans of the Ling family, so he offended the emperor. He was punished to kneel for a day and a night without eating a grain of rice. After passing out, he was woken up by a bucket of ice water and continued to kneel. It was winter."
"Afterwards, the secret letter couldn't be hidden from the emperor. You were almost caught by officers and soldiers several times, but it was the adults who helped you secretly. The emperor was furious, and he couldn't bear to kill him just like that, so he gave him a glass of poisoned wine to control him. The adult fell into a coma for half a month because of the high fever, and after that he was often tortured by the poison, and when the poison broke out, the pain was so painful that life would be worse than death."
"My lord is doing this to keep you alive, but you have become the killer who cherishes life the least. You came to assassinate him for money."
"I, I don't know, I thought..."
"I persuaded the adults to tell you this, but he refused. He would rather you scold him and make him angry at him every day than tell you. He said that he didn't want to make you feel indebted to him and force you to stay. Come down to repay your kindness. I dare not let you go, I am afraid that if you are so reckless again, you will accidentally lose your life. To be honest, sometimes I think adults are too stubborn and stupid."
"I'm not telling you this to repay you, and I don't want you to feel indebted. But I just ask you not to be angry with him. You know that he is not in good health, and he cares about your words and you. Attitude."
"Yes, I made a slip of the tongue, but he really shouldn't kill innocent people. Besides Sheng Qianyu, there are countless people like her who suddenly lost their homes."
"Miss Sheng's father and brother are dead, but she still has a chance to live. Look at Taifu Yang, if your lord killed him at that time, would his whole family be killed by the enraged emperor with an excuse? Your lord just hopes that more people will live." Just go down."
"To put it bluntly, even without your lord, the emperor can find someone else to do this for him. It's not your lord's fault, and the result will not change."
Ling Zhi's mind turned quickly, and he immediately figured it out, "So the dog emperor announced him to enter the palace, and he vomited blood and fell into a coma when he came back. Was it because of Taifu Yang that he was warned?"
"Yes, after entering the palace, the emperor gave poisoned wine."
"Did you know this was going to happen?"
"My lord already knew about it, but because you begged him, he did so knowingly. If your lord refuses to say it, then I will say it for him. Some requests will actually make him very difficult."
"And did you know that the night your lord entered the palace, he was poisoned again, and he was so delirious with pain that he almost bit his tongue and committed suicide. Fortunately, the dark guard stopped him. How painful do you think it was?"
Ling Zhi was shocked, his eyes were moist, and he remained silent for a long time.
"I know you have your morals, but I don't care who should die and who should be saved, who is a traitor and who is a good general, I just want to make you suffer less. The lives of Mr. Yang and those loyal ministers are human lives, and so are our lord's lives." human life."
Xie Ran was woken up by the system's notification sound, his favorability suddenly rose rapidly, and a series of notification sounds sounded.His trump card was finally played by Xiaodie.
In fact, he did not deceive Lingzhi or Xiaodie. Most of these things, he or the original owner really did, and he let Xiaodie know from the side.
Since he had made a silent contribution, it was time to let Ling Zhi know about it at this opportune time.
