Chapter 10 Chapter 9 What you need to know about the past and the present, the outcome of the chessboard is overturned

Originally, it was only around nine o'clock in the morning, but because of the birthday banquet, the inside and outside of Tao's residence was already extremely lively.Outside the gate, a Russian band was invited to play the welcome song, and the third lady was naturally the chief receptionist, and an officer in charge of the Governor's Mansion was appointed outside to raise the tune.At ten o'clock, a long row of cars had already parked on a street outside the gate of Tao's Mansion. The peddlers selling sesame seed cakes and fruits were sandwiched between the cars, specializing in the business of drivers, and the only sound of horns could be heard on half the street. , talking and laughing, the sound of firecrackers, that kind of liveliness made passers-by stop and watch.The steward led the Tao Mansion's guards to arrange parking, welcome guests, and entertainment... Only when he was busy on his own feet did he maintain order on the impenetrable road.

Jing Wan changed her clothes and came out to greet the guests.The female relatives of Chengjun have already arrived one after another. Mrs. Chang saw Jing Wan and boasted: "Miss Yin is really full of spring today, ouch, this necklace..." Just tut-tsk admiration, those wives, young mistresses and young ladies love this the most Jing Wan was surrounded by stars like the moon. The necklace was originally wound into three turns, and each turn was inlaid with swiftlet diamonds and gemstones the size of fingernails. Although there was no lamp, it was Reflected on the neck, it shines brilliantly.Mrs. Xu said: "Miss Yin is so beautiful, and only such a necklace is the icing on the cake." Jing Wan asked with a smile: "Why haven't I seen Xu Tongzhi? I invited Lu Yushuang, Boss Lu, to sing today. Xu Tongzhi loves it so much." Listen to the play, don’t miss it.” Mrs. Xu replied: “It is said that the Sixth Young Master asked them to go to a meeting today.” Jing Wan just remembered, and said: “Exactly, the Sixth Young Master told me this morning. Say, I'm afraid I'll come later at noon." Mrs. Xu couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled at Miss Murong San when she heard her casual words, which meant that the two had such a good relationship, so they had met each other early in the morning.

After eleven o'clock, nine out of ten guests had already arrived. Although Jing Wan was circling among the guests, listening to the loud laughter, her heart was beating like in hot water.Miss San didn't know it, so she came over and said to her: "There is still twenty minutes before the banquet, if the sixth young master can't make it, just wait a little longer." Jing Wan heard that it was only twenty minutes before twelve o'clock , and the hall was full of people, chattering and laughing all around, and the music of the band in the front hall was so noisy, let her calm down, she couldn't help but say: "I'll go make up the powder, It's too hot here." Miss San took a closer look for her, and said, "Go quickly, I need to add a little more rouge, it's a good day like today."

Then Jing Wan went back to the small building where she lived. In front of the building, countless colorful flags and streamers were also drawn, and arches were built with evergreens. The hairpins were covered with colorful silk flowers, which were very gorgeous and beautiful. Everyone went to the front to entertain the guests, but it was quiet here.When she came in, there was only Lan Qin following her, and she was about to go upstairs when she suddenly heard someone call: "Miss Yin." Jing Wan recognized He Xu'an, one of Murong Feng's confidantes, and hurriedly asked: "Sixth Young Master is back?"

He Xu'an whispered: "Miss Yin, please talk here." Jing Wan told Lan Qin: "Go upstairs for me, take down my makeup box, and find out my pink handkerchief ” I followed He Xu’an, walked through the corridor, and went to a small reception room at the back.The curtains in the reception room were all drawn down, the room was dark, and the lights were not turned on. There were two people standing there, but in the dim light, the figure of one of them was very familiar, and there was a buzzing in her mind. , Tears were about to come out, but she rushed forward instinctively, and the man hugged her: "Jing Wan." She smiled and raised her face with tears in her eyes: "Jianzhang, I really can't believe it's you." Xu Jianzhang Hugging her tightly: "I'm also dreaming...Jing Wan, it's really you."

He Xu'an coughed lightly, and said: "Miss Yin, Liu Shao ordered that if he didn't call before half past eleven, he would release Mr. Xu and send him to Miss Yin." He handed over another ticket , it was the same train as her ticket.Jing Wan's heart was shocked, although the ticket was just a piece of light and flimsy piece of paper, but it was as heavy as a thousand weights in her hand.He remembered that he was in this room in the morning, saying goodbye to himself.His own reflection was reflected in his eyes, and his love was as deep as the sea, and when he swore that day, when he drank the wine on his back, fleeting pain flashed in his eyes, as if the wine was piercing the intestines and eroding the bones. Poison in general.But he has already planned everything for himself, even the last thing has been arranged.Her heart was in a mess, her thoughts fluctuated, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Xu Jianzhang saw that her heart was absent-minded, and he was full of doubts, so he had to ask: "Jing Wan, why did they release me? Who did you follow? It's such a shame." Where?" She couldn't explain a single word of his question, let alone explain it, and only answered briefly: "I'll tell you the details after we leave here." Turning to ask He Xu'an: "Where are the Sixth Young Masters still alive?" Shuaifu?" He Xu'an shook his head, and said: "I'm only responsible for this matter, and I don't know anything else." Jian Zhang couldn't help interjecting and asked Jing Wan: "Liu Shao? Murong Liu Shao? What do you ask Liu Shao to do?" Jing Wan Said: "I owe Liu Shao a favor." The ins and outs of this process cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences. Jianzhang groaned, as if he understood a little, and said: "It turned out to be him." He was in prison, I once heard the jailer say: "You are so lucky, there are people above who will take care of you like this." When she was released suddenly today, she was naturally full of doubts, seeing Jing Wan hesitating, even more suspicious.Just at this time, the big clock in the room, which was tall by the man, rang.When Jing Wan heard that voice, she seemed to be taken aback, she turned her face away, and saw that the hour and minute hands of the clock were all pressed together, but she was just in a daze.

Xu Jianzhang called "Jing Wan", but she didn't seem to hear it. After a while, she said to herself: "It's twelve o'clock." Xu Jianzhang took the train ticket in her hand, looked at it, and was surprised. : "This is the train in half an hour, we have to leave quickly." Jing Wan hummed, just listening to the faint music and people in front of her, and after a while, she heard someone's footsteps coming this way Now, getting closer and closer, she just felt like a heart was about to jump out of her chest, but the footsteps were light and not the sound of leather shoes.That person kept walking into the reception room, and she recognized Zhou Ma, who was in the upper room of Tao's house. Zhou Ma said, "Our wife sent me to tell Miss Yin that it's time for the banquet, but Liu Shao hasn't come yet." , the meeting must be late, so I want to postpone the meeting by a quarter of an hour."

Jing Wan felt guilty for a while, unable to say anything, only nodded.Seeing Zhou's mother looking at Xu Jianzhang, she hurriedly said: "This is my cousin, tell the wife, I'll go out right away." Xu Jianzhang was even more puzzled when he heard that she called him cousin, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he finally restrained himself.As soon as Zhou Ma left, she asked again: "What is this place, and what are you doing here?" Jing Wan said, "This is Tao Mansion, and I'm staying here temporarily for your sake." Xu Jianzhang said: "Since I'm fine, go and tell the master, let's say goodbye, and disturb others like this." Jing Wan gritted her teeth lightly, and said, "You go first, I'll take the next train."

Xu Jianzhang never expected her to say such a sentence, and asked: "Why?" Jing Wan said: "I can't say it now, but you will understand tomorrow. Sixth Young Master let you out, I owe him a favor, I have to Thank him face to face." Xu Jianzhang finally couldn't help it: "Liu Shao is long, Liu Shao is short, how did you know Liu Shao, and how could he let me out?" Jing Wan felt suspicious of himself in his words , the anger in my heart was unspeakable, and I asked back: "Don't you believe me?" Xu Jianzhang said: "Of course I believe you, but you have to explain it clearly to me." Jing Wan said angrily: "Now how do you ask me to explain, he let you out, you not only don't appreciate it, but question it like this. "He Xu'an persuaded in a low voice at the side: "Miss Yin, let's talk while walking. The Sixth Young Master specifically told me to send Miss Yin to the car." Jing Wan raised her face and said: "Since the Sixth Young Master treats me like this , I can walk away safely? Please Mr. He take Jianzhang to the train station, and I will take the next bus."

Although Xu Jianzhang had a good temper, he couldn't care less at this moment, and said coldly: "If you don't go, I won't go either." Jing Wan stomped her foot and said, "It's fine if you don't believe me." She said to He Xu'an: "Please take me to see Sixth Young Master." He Xu'an was shocked, Xu Jianzhang asked: "What are you going to see him for?" Jing Wan said indifferently: "He saved your life, I have to thank him." Xu Jianzhang again I couldn't bear it anymore: "Why are people willing to save me? Why don't you tell me clearly?" Jing Wan stared straight at him, and after a long while, she smiled sweetly: "Yes, why is he willing to save you? You already have suspicions in your heart, why didn't you express it clearly?" Xu Jianzhang felt regretful, but seeing He Xu'an When he went to the prison to release himself, the warden treated him so respectfully, obviously he was a person of very high status.But this Mr. He is also extremely respectful in front of Jing Wan.Jing Wan is a girl, so it is surprising that people like Cheng Junzhong are submissive, but when they talk, they always mention Murong Feng, which shows that the relationship between her and Murong Feng is extraordinary.The suspicion in his mind was getting bigger and bigger, surging, as if his whole body was about to explode.She was extremely sad in her heart, but Jing Wan's expression showed no concern for herself, instead she said to He Xu'an: "I want to see Sixth Young Master." He Xu'an hesitated and said: "Miss Yin, it can't be done." Jing Wan's heart was also in a mess with thousands of threads, and she didn't know where to clean it up.But Yizhi thinks that he has the meaning of sworn brotherhood with him, and since the friendship, he has always treated each other with courtesy, and under the urgent situation, he still makes such a thoughtful plan for himself.His safety is in danger now, and he must not just walk away.She made a decision in an instant, and said to He Xu'an: "The matter has come to this point, Jing Wan has made up her mind, please Mr. He fulfill it." He Xu'an usually sees her delicate and timid, but now when he heard her words, he secretly applauded in his heart, feeling that this woman values ​​love and righteousness, and puts life and death aside.Said: "Liu Shao has an order, I can't disobey it. But if Miss Yin doesn't want to go to the station, I can't force it." Jing Wan smiled slightly, and said to Jian Zhang: "You wait for me here, I will go Come back." Xu Jianzhang said: "I'll go with you." Jing Wan knew that the situation was unclear and her future was uncertain, but looking at the clock, it was already twelve twenty, and the third lady hadn't sent someone to invite her to the table, so then Murong Feng definitely hasn't come back yet.She couldn't explain clearly to Xu Jianzhang for a while, and she didn't want to delay any longer, so she just said: "You can't go, I'll be right back." Xu Jianzhang still wanted to talk, but Jing Wan had already said: "Mr. He, please stay here Accompany Mr. Xu." He Xu'an agreed, and Xu Jianzhang was so angry that he grabbed her arm: "Jing Wan, why?" Jing Wan said: "I have not betrayed you. If you believe in me, you know that I will not betray you." She looked at him with intense eyes: "Jianzhang, I will definitely not betray you." It's just like two clusters of small flames, burning with such persistence, knowing in her heart that she is like this, she will never change her mind.And in his heart, he didn't want to think about such unbearable things, he just convinced himself that there must be a reason for Jing Wan to be like this.He finally let go of his hand slowly and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you here." When Jing Wan walked out, the third lady was in a hurry, and said to her in a low voice: "Sixth Young Master said that he will definitely come, why haven't you come here yet?" Jing Wan said: "I want to go to the commander's mansion and invite him personally. Sixth Young Master." Miss San smiled and said, "That's fine." She arranged for a car to take her to the commander's mansion.Sitting in the car, Jing Wan felt as if a hundred drums were beating wildly in her heart, between Tao's Mansion and Shuai's Mansion, it only took a few minutes to arrive.She saw from a distance that the security in front of the commander's mansion was as usual, her heart was agitated, and she forced herself to be calm. She got out of the car in front, and the person at the door naturally knew her well, and said with a smile, "Miss Yin is here? Sixth Young Master is still having a meeting at the back." She didn't know what was going on, so she agreed, and walked along the corridor to the building. Go to the blue brick building.It happened that Shen Jiaping came out from the building, and when he saw her, he couldn't help revealing a trace of joy, and said calmly: "Hello, Miss Yin." Jing Wan agreed, and asked, "Where is the sixth young master?" Shen Jiaping said: "Just started After the meeting, Teacher Chang is holding Sixth Young Master to complain, and Xu Tongzhi, the three of them have been talking until now." While talking, she winked at Jing Wan, Jing Wan's heart was beating wildly, and she walked across the hall, Going to the flower hall at the back, the servant opened the door for her, she smiled as she walked in, "Liu Shao, you don't care about what you promised him." Murong Feng is being held back by Chang Degui, if he wants to tell the truth and walk away, Xu Zhiping is very delicate, I'm afraid he will be suspicious.Hearing her voice suddenly at this time, I couldn't tell whether it was surprise or joy, and I was even more worried.Seeing her come in, he said with a straight face, "What are you doing here? I have serious business here." Jing Wan said with a smile: "The dishes are all on the table, the play is singing to its fullest, and all the guests are here. The Sixth Young Master promised to celebrate my birthday, but I'm still here." She smiled at Chang Degui again. "Mr. Chang, accompany me to have a good drink with Liu Shao at noon today. Liu Shao always praises the master's drinking capacity every time." Bo An was slightly angry, his eyes were watery, and he glanced at Murong Feng: "Let's go, if you don't go, I'm really going to be annoyed." Without any explanation, he grabbed Murong Feng's arm and walked outside.Turning around, he smiled at Xu Zhiping again, and said, "Xu Tongzhi is coming soon too, the banquet is waiting over there." Seeing the helplessness on Murongfeng's face, Xu Zhiping had already been dragged to the door by her, and his mind suddenly moved, and he shouted: "Sixth Young Master, I have something to say!" Jing Wan was anxious, and rushed to say: "Control to the banquet Come on, how many words can’t be said? Hurry up and take a seat.” Xu Zhiping was puzzled, but seeing her timid look, he thought that if there was any fraud in it, it would not be a weak woman who would do it. Seeing that Chang Degui had already strode outside.Xu Zhiping hesitated for a moment, then walked out. As soon as Murongfeng walked out of the flower hall, he took out the cigarette case from his arms, flicked it open, and said, "Come here, light a cigarette." The people who were ambushing in the corridors on both sides rushed out when they heard these words, and turned towards Xu , Chang two rushed forward.Chang Degui still hadn't come to his senses, he was already pinned to the ground, Xu Zhiping saw that something was wrong, yelled, pulled out a pistol from his back, and rushed towards Murongfeng.Shen Jiaping had already jumped up and hugged him tightly, the two of them rolled on the ground, all the guards rushed up in a hurry. It has always been a rule that the generals of Chengjun are not allowed to wear guns when they enter the commander's mansion. Xu Chang and the two of them also took off their guns at the door, and Xu Zhiping actually hid a pistol on his body.Seeing the chaotic situation, Murong Feng was still very calm. He protected Jing Wan and retreated quickly. He saw that three or four people had already held Xu Zhiping down and took his gun away. He was slightly relieved when he suddenly heard Chang De With a loud shout, Gui threw those servants away. He was originally a famous general in the Cheng army. With this jump, how could those servants hold him back?It was too late to say it, and when he raised his hand, it turned out that he was also hiding a gun, only to hear "bang bang bang" three times in a row, as if it was too fast to cover his ears, an attendant flew over to block it, Murongfeng only Feeling a violent shock in her body, Jing Wan let out a cry, hot blood had already dripped on her hands, those attendants had already held Chang Degui down again, and bound his hands and legs with tendons.Chang Degui was still cursing on the ground: "Murongfeng, you bastard! I have worked so hard to lay down half of the country for you, but you bastard actually schemed against me. You dare to fight me alone! I didn't beat you to death today! , I will die with peace..." With two hemp walnuts stuffed into his mouth, he could no longer swear. The two of them were tied up like zongzi, Shen Jiaping was scared out of his wits early on, so he just snatched up to see the blood on Murong Feng's hand: "Sixth Young Master, where is the injury?" Murong Feng grabbed his lapel, "Go call the doctor, Hurry up and call the doctor!" Only then did Shen Jiaping see that Jing Wan in his arms was as pale as paper, with blood gushing out from the skirt of his clothes, and she was seriously injured.A servant had already rushed to make a phone call, but Murong Feng hugged Jing Wan tightly, like a trapped animal in a trap, the whole person seemed to be crazy, a frightening light flashed in his eyes, he Snatching the gun from Shen Jiaping's hand, Shen Jiaping only had time to call out: "Sixth Young Master!" He was already pointing at Chang Degui's head, Shen Jiaping was shocked, only heard two loud bangs, Chang Degui's head Blooming like a bloody mess.Murong Feng turned the gun around, Xu Zhiping twisted his body, he couldn't move a little bit, Murong Feng had already pulled the trigger, one shot after another, until all the bullets were gone, before he threw the gun to the ground, As if waking up from a dream, he picked up Jing Wan and picked her up. Seeing that she was dying, her breathing was so weak that he staggered a step, stumbling and holding her like a madman, and ran back. There are many people asking, so here is the answer: 1. Why Xu Jianzhang can only be released after dealing with Xu and Chang.As mentioned earlier, Xu Zhiping's nephew was also executed for smuggling drugs, and Xu's nephew must have smuggled a very large amount, which made Murongfeng very angry, and even executed him at all costs. The senior general knocked the mountain and shook the tiger.Under such circumstances, Xu forced Murongfeng to make a promise. Xu was the real representative of the conservative forces, and Murongfeng was actually quite afraid of him.If Xu Zhiping is taken down and the conservative forces are severely damaged, Murong Feng can truly achieve dictatorship. Even if he says the moon is square, no one will dare to say it is round.Murongfeng could easily find a reason to release Xu Jianzhang. It can be said that he was framed, or that he carried very little cargo, so he was given a lighter sentence and fined a little.And if Xu Zhiping was still in power, he would never tolerate Murongfeng playing tricks like this. 2. Why Jingwan's cooperation is needed.In fact, Jing Wan and Murong Feng have a tacit understanding. It has been a year since Murong Feng took over the power, and his tolerance for the conservative forces has almost reached its limit.Everyone can recall Master Chang's tone of voice when he went to see him. It was like "like teaching a nephew". Murong Feng was young and vigorous, and he was always restrained for a year, so he naturally wanted to get rid of the oppression of the conservative forces.He had planned it for a long time, and it wasn't just a sudden idea after seeing Jing Wan.Chang once said about his romantic deeds, such as buying laughs with a lot of money, holding an actor, etc. He showed such a sensual side, but also paralyzed the old school, and then made a plan, and succeeded in one blow. The details of his plan were better refined. 3. Why is there a big birthday feast for Jing Wan.This is also a paralyzing effect. Xu Zhiping is more or less wary of Murongfeng, and on such a day, Murongfeng called a meeting, and the middle and senior generals of Chengjun came to Chengzhou City. After the meeting, most of them will go to the banquet, which is quite beneficial to Murong Feng. At least they are all in Chengzhou City, not in their respective garrisons. Even if the old guard wants to fight back and launch a mutiny, the military power In essence, it has been emptied.And as long as he controls the Tao Mansion, he controls all the important female relatives of Chengjun. 4. Why did you kill Xu and Chang.Some people say that the veterans will be disappointed, yes, it is inevitable to be disappointed, and the "Chang Yang incident" in history is also mixed, and there are different opinions.Anyway, I'm just being superficial, so I'm going too far.As for why Xu and Chang were killed, please allow me to quote Mumu’s reply—“I’m talking about the death of Xu and Chang. It seems that most of the younger sisters blame it on Xiaoliu’s ‘becoming a confidante in anger’ '. Laugh, how can there be such blood. Of course, Murong's anger and impulsiveness at that time were real. However, if he said that the shooting was only for Jing Wan's sake, he underestimated Murong's scheming. It should be said that no matter what But whether Xu and Chang are captured alive, they are destined to die. The big reason is that they privately mobilized trusted troops, not to force the palace to rebel. What is it? To put it mildly, they hid guns privately when they met the commander-in-chief, not with the intention of assassination What is it? Whether it is assassination or treason, it is a capital crime. Furthermore, if two people are captured alive, how to deal with them will become a difficult problem. If you cut the weeds and don’t get rid of the roots, there will be endless troubles. But in the current situation, a person who “intends to assassinate and was shot dead by random guns”. Hehe, guys, guns don’t have eyes. What’s more, the situation was critical at that time. At most, the guards panicked. For the problem of inappropriateness, who would dare to say that Liu Shao killed him with his own hands? It was a good death, a wonderful death, and this death saved a lot of things in the future.”—I personally think that Mu Mu’s understanding is very good. To be exact, if Murong Feng didn't kill Xu Chang and the two of them, Xu and Chang would kill him. When Xu and Chang went to see him, they both had concealed guns.Xu Zhiping mobilized heavy troops without authorization, with the intention of forcing the palace. This Murong Feng mentioned to Jing Wan a little bit, saying that "things have changed", and Xu Zhiping's control along the railway line is under Xu Zhiping's control, and Xu privately stationed heavy troops in Changyong. It became a choking trend, if he didn't do it again, Xu Zhiping would do it. 5. Thinking about it today, many sisters mistakenly thought that Jing Wan blocked the gun for Murong, no, no, it was just that she was shot by random guns.Jing Wan will not block the gun for Murong Feng at this time.
