In the moment when people are unprepared, they have no thoughts in their minds. There is no more weighing, no more right or wrong, people suddenly return to their most instinctive state, and they do not even know the reason for their actions.
Zhu Gaoxu turned his head when he heard the voice, and before his eyes flashed the pale skin as white as snow, which matched the eyes like the abyss very well. Then came the glowing sword blade!
"Hiss..." A tiny sound of the sword blade trembling slightly was heard in the air.
Just like a situation: that is, the sword blade does not seem to be too fast, but when you see it, it is already in front of you.
Zhu Gaoxu's muscles all over his body tensed instantly, he leaned over and stood up, and accurately grasped the sword blade with the thumb, index and middle fingers of his left hand! The sword blade slid forward, slowing down the attack, and Zhu Gaoxu's lower palm and tiger's mouth immediately felt stinging pain.<
“We’ve caught him!”A voice came from outside the door, and Zhu Gaoxu and others looked sideways. Trial Hundred Household Wang Yu walked quickly into the guardhouse, knelt on one knee, and said, "Commander Wang ordered me to hurry back to report to His Majesty that the brothers have arrested four people in Liuba Village!"Zhu Gaoxu asked, "Who are they?"Wang Yu said, "In reply to Your Majesty, in addition to that woman, there is also a man from Liuba Village and his wife and two children. Commander Wang is searching for evidence while sending people to send all the criminals back to the palace."It seems that the female assassin has not been caught? Zhu Gaoxu said, "Detain them separately.""Understood!" said Wang Yu.When the prisoners arrived at the palace, they were temporarily detained in a house on the east side of Duanli Gate. Zhu Gaoxu wanted to know who they were and he was a little impatient.Zhu Gaoxu quickly arrived at the
Last year, Lian Ying went to assassinate Yongle Emperor Zhu Di. He rode straight at Zhu Di with a sharp weapon and was cut into pieces in a matter of seconds. Zhu Di definitely didn't feel threatened. He was only angry about Lian Ying's attitude of not supporting him.But today, when Zhu Gaoxu was assassinated, the target was not him, but he really felt threatened!Therefore, in addition to being interested in Duan Yang's inside story, Zhu Gaoxu also kept the assassin in mind.He then said, "I am still confused, and I hope Mrs. Duan can clear it up. Since Mrs. Duan has a deep hatred for the Mu family, why did she rush to send an assassin to assassinate Mu Xiaoniang? Mu Xiaoniang is a teenage girl, What's the use of killing her?"Duan Yang frowned and said, "Then Mu Xiaoniang's name is Mu Zhen, Xuhen wants to kill her? This is not my intention.""Xuehen... Duan Xuehen?" Zhu Gaoxu read it again.Duan Yang said, "There is one thing I must tell
Duan Yang's words confirmed many of Zhu Gaoxu's speculations and judgments. He stopped the conversation and didn't want to ask any more questions.After walking out of the room, Zhu Gaoxu took a deep breath, lowered his head and thought, and walked towards the study next to Chengyun Hall. After a whole afternoon of hard work, it was almost the evening hour.Zhu Gaoxu thought about it again in his mind and thought that Duan Yang's explanation of the cause and effect of the Liyuan assassination was more credible. At least it was the most reasonable explanation that could be imagined at present.Zhu Gaoxu stopped on the wide brick floor outside the front hall and turned to the guards beside him and said, "While the various offices are still on duty, you should hurry to the guard office and inform Wang Bin or Hou Hai. Ask him to order the brothers at the Rongshu Street stronghold to clear the stronghold and evacuate immediately."The sergeant clasped his f
Night has completely fallen outside the study door, and the light of the lanterns on all sides has gradually pierced the night.Inside the room, Mrs. Shen Xu lay weakly on her side on the cold wooden floor, crying bitterly with tears flowing all over the floor, and the makeup on her face was stained. As soon as she was let go, while crying, she quickly stretched out her arms and pulled up her skirt. Then he pulled up his shirt to cover his shoulders. He grabbed the collar tightly with both hands and pulled it toward the middle, completely covering his body.For some reason, the pain only came slowly now, causing her body to tremble and her mind to be in a mess. The chaos in her heart was not only the indignation of having her innocence tarnished, but also the hidden worry and humiliation.She was worried, because women were not like men who could just do it easily. The moment she was raped, she thought about the possibility of getting pregnant. Not every wom
The night is getting darker, and the scene in the palace is even more gorgeous under the lights.Zhu Gaoxu did not go back to his palace, but went straight to Du Qianrui's place, because even if Du Qianrui noticed something, she would not tell it.Among the corridors on both sides of the palace, one of the courtyards is Du Qianrui's residence. Zhu Gaoxu sat down at the table and waited for her to prepare some food and wine for the table; he hadn't had dinner yet.At this time, Zhu Gaoxu raised his sleeves and brought it to his nose to smell it a few times. There was still a faint smell of Shen Xu's body.Sure enough, Du Qianrui didn't ask anything. She brought up the jug, poured the wine for Zhu Gaoxu with her own hands, and said softly, "After I have eaten, I will drink two glasses of wine with the prince.""You sit down too." Zhu Gaoxu said nicely."Thank you, Your Majesty." Du Qianrui took her seat and asked cautiously, "Does Your Majest
Green rice fields formed a vast expanse of rolling fields, dotted with peach, plum and cherry trees. In the depths of the landscape stood a house with white walls and green tiles, surrounded by a wall. This was the Geng family's manor."Father, why don't you invite our family to your aunt's birthday?"The question Geng Hao asked seemed extremely difficult to answer. His father Geng Qi pondered for a long time and could not answer it.There were bloodshot eyes in Geng Hao's eyes, as if there were two balls of fire burning in his eyeballs. He was not just so angry today. Ever since he came back from the opera garden last time, Geng Hao felt like he had thorns all over his body, and no one dared to provoke him!The man who paid twenty strings of cash for Geng Hao and rescued Mu Zhen in the Pear Garden was actually the King of Han, Zhu Gaoxu.Geng Hao knew a lot and didn't dare to say anything bad about Zhu Gaoxu in front of outsiders, because that m
The Mu Mansion was very noisy inside and outside. I don't know how many people gathered here. In addition to the guests, there were also the guests' grooms, servants, and even their families. The servants of the Mu Mansion were also busy.Many guests went through the south gate, but there were also many people at the east gate. The birthday banquet was in need of some things, and a servant had just purchased them and was delivering them to the gate; the opera troupe from the Pear Garden was also moving things, and the servants of the Mu Mansion came to help.Duan Xuehen wore a servant's clothes, took a drum from a carriage, and walked straight into the west gate.She put some dark powder on her face, and her complexion looked as dark as many slaves, but she was still a little nervous when she walked to the door. The sunlight was glaring, and she was a little unaccustomed to it as she rarely saw the sun.Finally she stepped through the threshold, and sh
Zhu Gaoxu still remembers vividly the scene of Geng Bingwen, Marquis of Changxing, dying on the battlefield.Before his death, Geng Bingwen said that he would rather die in battle than suffer humiliation in old age, and asked Gao Xu to help him achieve his goal. The old general grabbed Zhu Gaoxu's knife and ended his life.Zhu Gaoxu thought about the past again and still had no regrets, because he felt that even if Geng Bingwen had not died on the battlefield, he might not have survived; in that case, it would be better for a general who had spent his whole life in military service to die on the battlefield.Today, Zhu Gaoxu saw Geng Bingwen's sister at the birthday banquet, and wanted to tell her that he killed the Marquis of Changxing because he respected him from the bottom of his heart. But Zhu Gaoxu didn't say it in the end, after all, it was inappropriate to bring up the sad things of the Geng family at the birthday banquet.Mrs. Mu's birthday ba
