Chapter 122 So You Hate Him?
Chapter 122 So You Hate Him?
The man knelt on the ground, covered his face with a black scarf, closed his eyes tightly, and was stabbed in the heart.
Blood pooled under his feet, and soon became a thick scarlet pool of blood.
Numerous soldiers surrounded him with weapons in their hands, watching him warily.
Qin Shen was standing beside him, dressed in a blue shirt like bamboo, with dark patterns of bamboo branches tattooed on the sleeve corners, tall and tall, with orchid and jade tree.
Huo Chen was sitting on the main seat in the hall, with his chin tilted, his black robe was dark and majestic, and his expression was cruel.
Ning Zhe stopped, glanced at the man, and then looked up at Huo Chen who was sitting in the main seat.
Huo Chen saw that he was barefoot at a glance, and immediately frowned his long eyebrows, got up and walked towards him.
"Why don't you wear shoes?" Huo Chen picked him up neatly, and touched his two white feet with his big warm hands.
Ning Zhe glanced back, and saw that the soldiers who were chasing him were all standing at the door, their eyes widened and their jaws dropped.
He glanced at Huo Chen.
Huo Chen didn't care at all, shook off the black cloak he was wearing, and wrapped him in his arms.
Now it's the beginning of spring, the branches are still covered with ice and snow, and the weather is still cold, Ning Zhe's whole body is frozen stiff, and his nose is red.
Huo Chen kissed the tip of his nose, warmed his internal energy with his palm, slowly massaged his feet to dredge the meridians, and asked warmly, "Is it cold?"
Ning Zhe shook his head, and nodded to the man on the ground, his eyes were black and quiet.
If it was someone else, I'm afraid I don't know what he means.
Huo Chen understood it, and explained lightly: "This person attacked me just now when I was not relaxed, but his skills were not as good as others, and he was seriously injured by Yan Pei."
Ning Zhe followed his gaze and saw a baby-faced young man pull out a sword from the man, walked up to Huo Chen and knelt down, respectfully said: "The general is frightened."
Ning Zhe's eyes fell on his blood-stained long sword, he paused for a moment and then raised his head, looking at the figure kneeling in a pool of blood with his head bowed from a distance.
Huo Chen noticed his abnormality, "Why, do you know him?"
The man's face was covered, and his long hair was tied down, making it impossible to see his face clearly.
Ning Zhe recognized it immediately.
The sword mark across half of his face was his own punishment.
The man on the ground noticed his gaze, opened his eyelids slightly, turned his head and glanced at him, there was something dark hidden in his eyes.
"do not know."
Ning Zhe uttered three words against his gaze, and slowly leaned his head on Huo Chen's shoulder, without saying anything else.
Dark Guard Seventeen closed his eyes, spat out a mouthful of blood, lost consciousness, and fell into a pool of blood.
Huo Chen ordered Yan Pei to drag him down, then looked at Qin Shen who had been standing aside, "The guards in the general's mansion are not strict, let the prime minister see a joke."
Qin Shen didn't care, reached out to wipe off the blood stains on the green shirt, nodded slightly and said: "This matter happened because of me, don't blame the general, the general can act now."
Huo Chen pursed his lips, "I suddenly lost interest, so I just let go of the palm agreement. The prime minister is lucky today."
"That's hard to say." Qin Shen's long and narrow eyes were slightly bent down, and there was a light and distant smile from the corner of his lips, which carried the cold taste of early spring.
Ning Zhe's hand holding Huo Chen's neck tightened suddenly, and shrank into his arms.
He still remembers Qin Shen's shattering pain from witchcraft, which made his life worse than death. Even thinking about it now, his body still trembles subconsciously.
Qin Shen seemed to be aware of it, raised his eyes slightly, and glanced at Ning Zhe.
The eyes are as clear as mountain springs, not stained with the slightest trace of red dust.
Ning Zhe thought he was going to say something.
But Qin Shen didn't say anything, he bowed his hands to Huo Chen and left quietly.
Ning Zhe was startled, his hair stood on end all over his body, and his pupils shrank into a straight line.
Huo Chen saw that he was strange, "What's wrong?"
Ning Zhe clenched his fists and pursed his lips, his eyes were extremely dark.
Just now when Qin Shen passed by his side, he clearly felt the palpitations from his soul again, the pain was deeply chilling.
He firmly grabbed Huo Chen's lapel and asked him, "What is the Prime Minister here for?"
Huo Chen didn't hide it from him, "Looking for you."
Ning Zhe pursed his lips even tighter.
"I told Lin Li to keep an eye on the emperor and not let the emperor mess around. What about others?"
Ning Zhe raised his head and glanced at him, "He can't beat me."
After saying that, he jumped out of his embrace, barefooted, rushed out in a few steps, and disappeared at the door, his figure was like a fish with extreme flexibility.
Huo Chen glanced at his empty hand, and after a while, he showed a helpless and doting smile.
Lin Li, who stood at the door and watched from beginning to end, silently raised Ning Zhe's danger level to another level.
He must follow what Yang Yan said, find out the identity of this person, and not let the general be deceived by this person's appearance!
Lin Li thought to himself, and led a group of soldiers to Huo Chen's side.
Huo Chen glanced at him, said "according to military regulations" and left.
There is a saying in the military regulations that anyone who fails to obey the order will be punished fifty times with a stick.
The men who come out of the military camp are not afraid of hitting the board, but they are afraid of taking off their pants and hitting the board in public.
Lin Li's body froze, he sighed inwardly, and answered yes in a low voice.
Huo Chen ignored him and went to the dark prison.
Yan Pei is interrogating the man in black who was assassinated earlier.
He used to be Huo Chen's capable general, from official to lieutenant general, with top-notch torture and investigation methods.
Earlier, Huo Chen was relegated, Yan Pei was implicated, and all the way down to a thousand households, he became an inconspicuous little officer.
But this does not hinder his status in the army.
Yan Pei and Lin Li, a smiling King of Hades, who smiles at you, turns around and stabs your heart with a sword, and a cold-faced killing god, who can kill you with just his eyes.
Anyone in the army who saw him would salute and say hello tremblingly, for fear of offending.
When Yan Pei saw Huo Chen push the door open, a smile appeared on the baby's face, diluting the murderous aura on him.
"Have you found out who it is?"
Yan Pei shook his head, "Tight mouth."
"However," he paused, took out a dirty black face towel, and pointed to the gold silk embroidery case in the corner, "it is embroidered with the family emblem of the Dai Viet royal family."
Huo Chen glanced at it, his dark eyes flickered slightly, "So it was him."
Yan Pei was a little surprised, "The general knows him?"
Huo Chen raised his lips, "This thing is exclusively for the royal family, and it cannot be imitated anywhere else. I have seen the exact same black scarf at the emperor's place. Coincidentally, it was given to his personal guard by the emperor."
Yan Pei heard the words and looked at the disheveled man who was dropped on the torture rack, "This is a person from the dark pavilion?!"
The Dark Pavilion only respects His Majesty's order. Since this man is a member of the Dark Pavilion, it means... His Majesty wants to kill the general!
The smile on Yan Pei's face disappeared, replaced by frost.
When His Majesty was still the King of Pingnan, he once came to ask the general to help him seize the throne, but the general refused.
Yan Pei felt bad at that time. Ning Zhi has always been narrow-minded, so he will definitely hold a grudge against this matter.
Sure enough, now that he has gained power, he will get rid of the general.
But he didn't even look at it, how could this dilapidated and decaying Da Yue be able to withstand Tian Qi's blow if he left the general! ?
Yan Pei was so angry that he drew out his sword and pointed it at the man.
Huo Chen raised his hand to stop him from moving.
"General?"
This person is just a lowly hidden guard, in normal times, even he wouldn't take a second look, let alone a general?
And since you already know the identity of the assassin, it's useless to keep it.
Why didn't the general let him do it?
Huo Chen didn't explain, and slowly walked up to the man.
"Secret Guard Seventeen?"
The man who had been quiet for a while suddenly moved his fingers.
"Ning Zhi should have asked you to kill the emperor."
Shi Qi's blood-stained eyelashes trembled suddenly, he lifted one eyelid with difficulty, and looked at him weakly.
Huo Chen raised the corners of his lips, "But you want to kill me, why?"
Seventeen breathed heavily.
"You want to take the emperor away." Huo Chen pierced his mind, his eyes were so sharp that he could almost see the bottom of people's hearts at a glance.
Shi Qi gave him a cold look and said nothing.
In terms of taciturnity, he is exactly the same as the little emperor.
After all, he was picked up by the little emperor himself, and he was inseparable from the little emperor for three years.
Thinking of this incident, Huo Chen's dark eyes sank, looking at the distressed appearance of the dark guard Seventeen, he said lightly: "He recognized you."
Shi Qi's body was slightly stiff, and his pupils shrank slightly.
Huo Chen continued to say casually, "But he didn't say anything."
Huo Chen looked down at him, with an unclear tone: "Tell me, what does this mean?"
The veins in Seventeen's wrist jumped up one by one, and suddenly attacked Huo Chen.
Huo Chen didn't even avoid it.
Every finger of the dark guard Seventeen has been cut off by Yan Pei with iron pliers, not to mention that he is tied up now, even if he is loosened, he will not pose a threat to Huo Chen.
Huo Chen quietly watched him struggle without moving, but Yan Pei's expression turned cold, dissatisfied with his resistance, and the sword in his hand became restless.
"Take a breath, I'm still useful."
Huo Chen gave Yan Pei an order, didn't look at the seventeenth guard again, and walked away.
Yan Pei bared his teeth and let out a mouthful of white teeth in a grin, with a soft smile on the fair baby's face, "De Ling!"
Shi Qi glanced at him, closed his eyes silently, and prepared to endure torture.
These pains are already commonplace for him.
There are no useless people in the palace, and men with unknown origins, apart from being eunuchs, the only way to go is the secret guard.
After the little emperor picked him up, he was taken over by the dark cabinet.
He was brought in by the little emperor, and the dark pavilion happened to be Ning Zhi's force.
Everyone was targeting him, and the torture he suffered in the past three years was beyond anyone's imagination.
Moreover, the various training and punishment methods in the dark pavilion are far superior to those of Yan Pei.
There was not a single day when the dark guard Seventeen was not wounded.
It's just that every time he saw the little emperor, he would cover himself tightly so that no trace of festered skin would be exposed.
Therefore, the little emperor never knew what he experienced in the dark pavilion.
"So you hate him?"
A voice suddenly sounded in the empty cell, low and hoarse.
Dark Guard Seventeen suddenly raised his head.
