I was Idle and Cool Chapter 213: The finale (middle)

Lu Jinxi didn't know whether Xiao Tingzhi fell asleep that night. Anyway, she returned to her room. After washing, she lay down on the bed and fell asleep with the pillow on her head.

It was noon the next morning.

The streets all over the capital are strangely absent from the previous noises, and even the sound of stone throwing outside the city gate has disappeared.

She always felt that this situation was really unusual, so she only sent someone to climb up the courtyard wall quietly to see what was going on outside. But there was only chaos on the street, blood was occasionally seen, and even a soldier could not be seen.

The old housekeeper Wan Bao often stayed in the mansion.

Since Gu Chengqian left, he also looks more and more old-fashioned. For him, the Grand Master's Mansion was his home, and as he got older, his life and death would be taken lightly, and he didn't care about what happened in the city.

He didn't sleep last night either.

When the guards in the mansion went to investigate and report back, he listened by the side and interjected: "Last night there was a lot of noise outside, one after another, it seems that there were three waves of people heading towards the palace. The direction went. It was not until the early morning of this morning that it was quiet."

Have a headache after a hangover.

Lu Jinxi held the wind chimes in her hands and cooked the hot soup. When she heard this, she only looked up at Wan Baochang: "Three waves of people?"

In this city, Xue Kuang and Gu Juefei are two groups of people. Where did the three waves come from?

She shuddered in horror, almost knocking over the soup bowl in her hand.

I don't know what direction to guess for a while: Is it an ordinary mobilization of troops, calculating each other, or is there really a third wave of people involved?

Today's sky is groggy.

Look, it seems like it's going to rain again.

Lu Jinxi suddenly felt sick to her stomach. The hot soup she had just drank seemed to have turned into greasy grease in the sudden tension and anxiety, which made her have the urge to vomit.

She just forcibly suppressed the urge.

At this time, even though she is already the hostess of the mansion, she doesn't want others to worry about her own risk.

At the moment, his face was slightly cold, and he only instructed: "Tell the people below, I'm afraid it will only be a matter of a day or two. Be sure to cheer up and continue to pay attention to the news outside."

"Yes!"

The guards took their orders and retreated.

The wind chimes saw that Lu Jinxi's complexion was a little pale, but she was a little worried: "You haven't slept well these days. Last night, you drank wine and the wind was blowing, so you should go back to the room and sleep for a while."

"No, I can't sleep."

Not only can't sleep, but I can't even read a page or a word.

Lu Jinxi waved his hand, indicating that the wind chimes should not be concerned about himself, but got up and stood under the porch outside, looking at the gloomy sky.

Wait, it's another afternoon.

After nightfall, Lu Jinxi thought she couldn't fall asleep, but she still fell asleep, the kind that fell asleep peacefully with her head on the pillow.

Until a shocking explosion woke her up in the middle of the night.

With a bang, it came from the direction of the Southeast Palace!

Not only Lu Jinxi, but inside and outside the Grand Master's mansion, all those who were asleep or who were not asleep were disturbed, and their figures flickered for a while.

Lu Jinxi got up and stood in the courtyard to take a look——

In this dark and miserable night, the sky in the southeast actually revealed a dark red light, as if it was dizzy by the dumped dye, and it burned into a thrilling color.

She heard someone shouting: "It's burning, it's burning at the palace!"

My heart was suddenly in a turmoil, and as soon as I lifted my footsteps, I almost subconsciously walked towards the door of the mansion.

The servants and guards in the mansion gathered here when they heard the news. Seeing her like this, they hurriedly called someone to stop her.

The wind chimes made me cry.

She grabbed Lu Jinxi's sleeves tightly with both hands and shouted tremblingly: "Madam, you can't go. Both adults and Mr. Meng have explained it, unless the outcome is known, we will never go. Open the house door. Calm down, you'll be fine, adults, they'll be fine."

Even though Lu Jinxi wanted to rush out to see what was going on now, there were so many people who were holding her on guard, and she couldn't get out.

She stood still for a while, before finally giving up.

Without saying a word, he stopped and was swarmed back into the room to sit.

But in the middle of the night, I couldn't sleep anyway.

Everyone in the Grand Master's Mansion was worried.

At this time, the difference between the master and the servant also disappeared in the apprehension and fear of the final result. Everyone was standing or sitting, waiting inside and outside.

Xiao Tingzhi also came in at some point, but only sat down in the corner and did not speak.

Lu Jinxi glanced at him, then looked away.

Everyone just waited for the middle of the night.

At the beginning of Yin Shi, a voice suddenly came from outside, and then a guard who had been quietly watching the situation outside hurriedly reported: "There is a group of people here!"

"Did you see who it was?"

Lu Jinxi stood up and asked.

The guard shook his head: "It's too dark to see clearly. But looking at it, it doesn't seem to be the Janissary..."

"What..."

Everyone in the room turned pale.

Even Lu Jinxi made a "hum" in his head, dizzy for a while, and almost couldn't stand up: "Look again, be more careful!"

So the guard went again.

There are timid maids in the room who are crying lowly at this moment.

Lu Jinxi felt a little irritable when she heard this, but she didn't stop drinking. She just stared at the door in the yard for people to come in and out, with no expression on her face.

Soon, the guard returned.

This time, he ran back quickly, his face was filled with ecstasy that was only worried, and shouted while running: "It's the one sent back by Mr. Meng, the one sent back by Mr. Meng!"

At this moment, Lu Jinxi's heart sank back.

She weakened and fell back into the chair.

Immediately following the guard, there was indeed a group of soldiers dressed differently from the imperial guards. The leader was not someone else, but Yin Liuer, who had been recommended by Lu Jinxi to go to Liu Jin's Falcon Camp in the past.

It's time to call Lu Yin.

Wearing a suit of armor, he bowed and bowed to Lu Jinxi, clasped his fists and said, "I saw my wife at the end of the day, and just now I got Mr. Meng's order to invite you and His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince to enter the palace. The matter has been settled. , please don't worry about you and everyone in the Taishi Mansion. It's just that there are still some remnants outside, so it's better not to wander outside for the time being."

"Win?"

Lu Jinxi was still in a trance.

The smile on Yin Liu'er's face became more obvious, and he grinned and replied: "I won."

The room suddenly burst into cheers.

Lu Jinxi sat in the seat for a while, then suddenly laughed, her eyes were covered with a layer of moist light, and she didn't realize that her hands were shaking a little until she got up.

"How is your lord, do you know?"

"This..." Yin Liu'er was stunned for a moment, rubbed his head, feeling a little embarrassed, "I was in a hurry when I left, I didn't have time to see it, I was only sent by Mr. Meng and came here, I don't know the specifics. situation.”

"Immediately enter the palace."

Did not get the news he wanted from Yin Liu'er, Lu Jinxi's body was a little cold, and he gritted his teeth slightly, and went outside without saying a word.

Yin Liu'er was taken aback by her posture, and hurriedly greeted people to follow.

Only halfway through, I remembered that the Seventh Prince was coming, so I stopped again, and after a look in the crowd, I saw Xiao Tingzhi, so he came up again and said, "Please enter the palace, His Royal Highness."

Xiao Tingzhi recognized Yin Liuer.

Because he remembered that this person was in Xue Kuang's army some time ago, and he was one of the people who rebelled with Xue Kuang along with the crowd.

Now it appears in the Taishifu...

Only at this moment, he roughly guessed where Xue Kuang lost, and for Gu Juefei's accurate and old-fashioned calculation, he suddenly had a kind of shocking fear.

He is very suspicious of the other party's intention to invite him into the palace.

I just thought about it, I really want to kill him, why would it take so much trouble?

So Xiao Tingzhi only glanced at Yin Liu'er and walked out.

He rides a horse, and Lu Jinxi rides a carriage.

The two of them were escorted by this team of soldiers and passed through the chaotic street. All they saw were scattered lights, and the rest was a deep darkness.

There is a thick smell of blood in the air.

And the smell of gunpowder.

The red-burning sky in the direction of the imperial palace in the distance also darkened, and it was raining lightly.

When I arrived at the Taiji Gate, it was three quarters of a night.

Lu Jinxi got off the carriage and was going to go directly to the palace gate, but only after walking two steps, he stopped and looked at the figure sitting casually at the palace gate.

Today and yesterday, they overlapped together.

A person who dares to sit at the Taiji Gate like this, the civil and military people of the whole dynasty can't find a second person - except for Fang Shaoxing, who is wicked and unrestrained and never looks at people righteously, who else?

Heavy armor has been removed and thrown on the ground.

Fang Shaoxing, who was only wearing a blood-stained white robe, sat on the armor rather shyly, with a slit in his waist and abdomen, which had already been wrapped and bandaged, but the blood was still flowing from that layer. Snow white comes out.

The silver gun also stood bloody, leaning beside it.

He also carried a small jar of wine in his hand. The mud seal had already been opened, and he only took it with his left hand and poured it towards his right arm with a knife edge.

"Crash..."

The spirits washed away the wound, washing out a patch of blood, staining the front of his clothes, causing him to bark in pain.

Looking like this, where is the demeanor of a mighty general?

Lu Jinxi just stopped and watched for a while, then stepped inside again.

She has no intention of speaking to Fang Shaoxing.

But Fang Shaoxing saw her and was not surprised at all, he just raised his eyebrows and looked at her recklessly. When she came over, he raised his hand and held the silver pistol next to her at her. He stopped in front of him and said with a smile, "Who allowed you to pass here?"

This attitude, this look...

It's the same as it used to be.

When he was demoted as Jin Wuwei to guard the gate of the palace, he also stopped her in this way, with the appearance of "I opened this mountain, and I planted this tree".

Fang Shaoxing really doesn't look like a famous general who was comparable to Xue Kuang six or seven years ago...

Lu Jinxi glanced at him, his eyes fell on the wound that had cracked due to the force he grabbed the gun again, and he persuaded coolly: "General Fang should save some energy and don't toss himself, lest he make a lot of money. , but died to enjoy it.”

Fang Shaoxing raised his eyebrows again.

But in the end, I didn't want to embarrass her, but after two days of fierce battles, I was very tired and panicked. When I saw her passing by here, I remembered the beginning.

Hearing what she said, he just smiled and pulled the gun back.

Lu Jinxi walked over.

It's just that everyone didn't expect that after she took a few steps forward, she suddenly stopped for some reason. Then he turned around directly, walked back to Fang Shaoxing quickly, grabbed the small jar of wine from his left hand, and took a few sips.

Fang Shaoxing was stunned.

Lu Jinxi only handed the wine jar back to him, took a breath, and thanked him, and then strode in with the smell of wine and heat that suddenly boiled over.

Soon, I saw what was inside.

On top of the collapsed ruins, there is a short table with broken corners, a pot of wine and two glasses on the table, Xue Kuang is sitting on one side, and Gu Juefei is sitting on the other.
