Chapter 368 Aunt Gongsun is aware of it
September 15th, early morning.
Lu Xiaofeng left again, because he still had four ribbons to give away. According to him, at least one should be given to Mu Taoren. After all, he was a famous Wudang star, and he came here all the time.
Ma Xiuzhen stayed in Hefangzhai, while Su Shaoying and Zhang Yingfeng left together.
Zhang Yingfeng didn't have a ribbon and couldn't enter the palace, and he didn't know what he said to the honest monk yesterday. He told Su Shaoying that he wanted to go home and left alone.
So, Su Shaoying stood at the door of the old alley in the south of the city, becoming a loner again.
"What are we going to do now? Are we going to watch Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zhaixing fall in love and kill each other?" Su Shaoying thought for a while, then came to one of the most famous alleys in the west of the city and walked into a small building.
Yiqingyuan!
“Why didn’t you come here all day yesterday?”
Ouyang Qing asked while serving Su Shaoying four-color side dishes and snacks, and then handed him a cup of hot tea.
“There were a lot of things yesterday.” Su Shaoying took a sip of tea and sighed.
“What makes sense?” Ouyang Qing asked.
Su Shaoying probably told Ouyang Qing, then looked around and asked, "Where's my aunt? Didn't she come back with you?"
“She was old, and things were not going well for her, and her qi and blood were not flowing smoothly, which led to...”
"She went to the appointment. She said someone asked her for something." Ouyang Qing said.
Su Shaoying nodded when he heard this, "Yes, that makes sense."
"I watched a master's duel in the early morning. I was surrounded by Ouchi guards in the morning. I didn't even eat lunch. In the afternoon, I was assassinated by several lamas and swordsmen. Fortunately, the dinner was quite rich, otherwise I might not even be able to sleep. not good."
Ouyang Qing twisted her body and sat in Su Shaoying's arms. She couldn't help but laugh and said, "Auntie made a mistake once in her life, and she met you. Don't laugh at her. I think she will see you now." Just a headache.”
Aunt Gongsun snorted coldly, "I went to the appointment last night. Isn't it normal to come back this morning?"
Su Shaoying looked at Ouyang Qing, "Didn't she go to the appointment this morning?"
“I stayed with Guan Huihui in the mansion overnight the day before yesterday, and I probably left around noon yesterday morning,” Ouyang Qing said.
Ouyang Qing chuckled and glanced at Su Shaoying, "You have no one to keep your mouth shut, so you can say bad things behind your back and meet the real owner, right?"
Su Shaoying blinked and suddenly asked, "When did you leave Li Yanbei's mansion?"
Su Shaoying smacked her lips, "Don't let others plot against her again, right?"
Su Shaoying asked confusedly, "Didn't you go to the appointment? Why are you back so early?"
Su Shaoying smiled and said, "Does she have a headache?"
Ouyang Qing was very surprised and said, "What's going on?"
Ouyang Qing asked, "What's it if it's not a headache?"
Ouyang Qing smiled and said, "I didn't say she left this morning."
"Su! Young Master! Ying!" A figure ran into the room, and Madam Gongsun's furious voice sounded at the same time, "Do you believe I will strangle you to death with a ribbon?"
“The four assassins yesterday were not there to kill Li Yanbei, but to kill you.” Su Shaoying said, “But they found that you were not there and Li Yanbei was dead, so they conveniently killed Guan Huihui.”
"What? Are they here to kill me?" Ouyang Qing asked in surprise, "Why?"
"Of course you know something you shouldn't know." Su Shaoying said. Ouyang Qing said, "But I don't know anything?"
"Is there another assassin who wants to kill the fourth sister?" Gongsun asked, "Is it still the man in black who is leading the charge?"
“No, it’s two lamas and two Hainanese swordsmen.” Su Shaoying shook her head and told Aunt Gongsun what happened yesterday.
The assassination yesterday was not part of the original work, but Su Shaoying knew at that time that the four assassins were coming for Ouyang Qing, but he knew that Aunt Gongsun was beside Ouyang Qing, so he was not worried.
With Aunt Gongsun’s martial arts, unless Ye Gucheng takes action personally, there is nothing anyone else can do.
“Lamas from Daxueshan Temple? Swordsmen from Hainan School?” Gongsun asked, “Aren’t they from King Pingnan? Why do they want to kill Fourth Sister?”
Last time it was Du Tongxuan's bodyguard in black who wanted to target Ouyang Qing. According to Lu Xiaofeng's guess, he was not the same group as Ye Gucheng.
This time it was people from Daxueshan Temple and Hainan Sword Sect who went to Li Yanbei's homestead to kill Ouyang Qing. Those lamas were not sure, but Hainan Sword Sect and Ye Gucheng were both partners of Pingnan Palace.
Aunt Gongsun’s eyes narrowed, “Are you trying to force me to show up?”
Su Shaoying thought for a while and said to Ouyang Qing, "Just follow me today."
Ouyang Qing's eyes were filled with joy, but she snorted, "You look down on me? I can protect myself!"
Aunt Gongsun also said leisurely, "You are going to the palace at night. There is only one ribbon, how can you bring the fourth sister in?"
Su Shaoying smiled and said, "Can I carry her in?"
“You have a beautiful idea!” Ouyang Qing’s face turned red and she spat at Su Shaoying, but her expression was filled with joy.
Aunt Gongsun snorted coldly, took out a ribbon from her sleeve, handed it to Ouyang Qing, and said to Su Shaoying, "You have a beautiful idea!"
Ouyang Qing was a little surprised, "Madam, why do you also have satin? Lu Xiaofeng gave it to you?"
Aunt Gongsun shook her head and said, "Of course I have my own way."
Su Shaoying stared at the ribbon in Ouyang Qing's hand and naturally knew what was going on.
In the original work, Manager Wang of Ouchi took out a lot of ribbons from the royal treasury, some of which were given to the people who were about to be sent to the palace by King Pingnan, and some were given to Sikong Zhaixing and put into the Jianghu. middle.
But now, because Aunt Gongsun is not dead, she has more hands.
These ribbons must have been sent out through other ways and could not involve King Pingnan, otherwise Aunt Gongsun would have been wary.
Even so, compared to Sikong Zhaixing who stayed away from the incident in the original work, Aunt Gongsun, who was already involved in the incident, actually realized that something was wrong.
"Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue were going to have a duel at the top of the Forbidden City. Wei Ziyun and the others wanted to see the duel but did not want any accidents, so they used Lu Xiaofeng as their tool and gave him six ribbons." Aunt Gongsun said.
Ouyang Qing said, "Of course the ribbon you gave me does not belong to those four."
Aunt Gongsun nodded and took out another ribbon from her sleeve, "I got not one, but two."
"The number of people who will enter the palace will be eight." Ouyang Qing said.
"More than eight." Aunt Gongsun shook her head, "Besides me, there are others who also got ribbons."
Ouyang Qing couldn't help but ask, "Why did they do this?"
"I don't know." Aunt Gongsun shook her head, with a look of doubt in her eyes, "I only know that this conspiracy must involve the palace!"
