Chapter 683 Jia Heng: Miss Xiao, you still say you don't know martial arts?

In the middle of the night, the night is quiet, and the moon outside the window is as bright as a horse and as bright as a rainbow. From time to time, there are a few dogs barking in the streets and alleys intertwined with the frogs in the courtyard, making the summer night more hot and quiet.

In the wing room, Chen Ling had just finished her bath, combed her hair, and changed into a dark blue dress. Under the reflection of the candles on the table, the tall figure of the girl was reflected on the window, lying on the bed made of bamboo mats , under the slender eyebrows of willow leaves, her bright eyes stared fixedly at the curtain above in a daze.

Today, Jia Heng has doubts, should she leave this place?But the truth is right in front of us, and the Jia Wang family has not been tortured yet, so it will be difficult for him to leave in the future.

With such mental ups and downs, it was late at night before he knew it. Chen Xiao's eyelids were heavy, and while he was half asleep and half awake, he slowly closed his bright eyes, and his consciousness gradually became chaotic.

But at this moment, there seemed to be light footsteps coming from outside the window, as if someone was approaching on tiptoe, Chen Xiao's eyes, which were closing, suddenly opened, and Ning Rong's two residences had already raised their vigilance to the highest level.

And the sound of the rear door bolt being pushed open little by little, accompanied by a non-stop sound of "squeaks", a masked man in black wearing night clothes, tiptoed into the room, holding a dagger in his hand.

Chen Ling, who was lying in the inner room, frowned her beautiful eyebrows, her heart froze, she quickly took out a dagger from under the quilt, and wanted to hide it behind her, when suddenly a light flashed in her heart, and she saw something in her eyes. Thinking, a sneer gradually formed on the corner of his mouth.

Lift half of the quilt, lie on the bed, sleep with clothes on, but make a defensive posture.

At this time, the man in black came closer, tiptoed to the bed, snorted coldly, approached with a dagger in his hand, and stabbed at the girl's beautiful face.

Chen Ling was talking in his sleep, and suddenly turned over, the dagger was suspended in the air, and stabbed on the pillow under the freeze.

The gaze under the black veil was a little deeper, looking at the girl lying on the bed, listening to the muttering while turning over, she was a little speechless.

It's all this time, are you still pretending?

There was a look of coldness in the eyes of the man in black, and he picked up the dagger and stabbed at the girl's neck again, but in fact, he held back a little force.

Because it was summer, the sweat on Chen Ling's back was like rain, almost soaking his little clothes, he dodged suddenly, and said coldly, "You... who are you?"

The man in black snorted coldly and stabbed at Chen Xiaoxue's slender neck without answering.

Seeing the sudden appearance of the cold light, Chen Xiaoyu's face changed slightly, her heart froze, no matter how difficult it is to hide her martial arts, she reached out her hand and fired electricity, grabbed a dagger, and slashed towards the black-clothed masked man's chest, trying to kill the black-clothed masked man forced back.

The figure of the masked man in black dodged aside, and at the same time slashed at the girl's hand with a dagger.

"clang……"

The swords collided, sparks splashed, the dagger was swept aside, the momentum of the girl who just got up from the bed was suppressed again, the fist wind howled, and went straight to the palm of the man in black, hitting the meridian acupoint, and the arm froze, The dagger immediately dropped to the side.

The man in black just froze for a moment, and then he reached out his hand like lightning, and grabbed Chen Ling's wrist at once. His five fingers were almost like pincers, tightly controlling the girl.

Chen Ling frowned, and curled up to the inside, bent into a bow, while the two slender legs under the skirt were like scissors, strangling towards the neck of the man in black with the momentum of howling wind and thunder.

It's not that Jia Heng sent someone to test her!But to kill her!

The man in black snorted coldly, dodged to dodge, and made another move, which was to hold down one of Chen Ling's legs. Immediately, he paused, jumped on the bed, and pressed the girl's legs all at once.

However, the girl's other arm bent like an elbow, and the blow was like the wind, hitting the ribs of the man in black fiercely. If she hit it, at least the ribs would be broken. People hold down tightly.

The man in black tightly pressed the girl's slender legs under the green skirt, and pressed the girl's arms firmly on his chest with both hands. Although the martial arts moves were not as exquisite as the girl's, but with great strength, the girl was crushed so tightly that she couldn't move.

"Miss Xiao, you still say you don't know martial arts?" At this moment, the black scarf moved lightly, and an indifferent voice came out.

Chen Xiao was taken aback for a moment, her clear and cold face was full of surprise, and immediately said in a low voice, "It's you!"

Just now, this man rushed to her vital point with a knife, looking like he wanted to put her to death. She thought it wasn't Jia Heng, but she didn't think it was really him!

Making this kind of night clothes in my own home, it's just... Is there something wrong with this person?

Jia Heng's cheeks covered with black scarf were also covered with sweat at the moment, and he tore off the girl's elbow, and immediately asked: "Miss Xiao, don't move around, tell me, what are you doing hiding in my house?"

Since he is the assassin of the White Lotus Sect, why did he come to the residence?For example, it is said that they are plotting to do something wrong, but it seems that they have not done anything during this time.

Shall I be arrested and tortured?

Jia Heng looked at the girl whose eyebrows, eyes and facial features resembled Xianning, and felt a little reluctance in her heart. Once she entered the prison of Jinyi Mansion, the torture this girl would have to endure was definitely beyond what he could say.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Chen Ling felt the young man pressing on her body. It was summer at this moment, and the clothes were already thin. She had just fought with fists and feet, and she was already covered in greasy powder and sweat. Body, quite sticky.

It's just that the girl's gaze was cold and she wasn't shy, thinking of a chance to escape.

Seeing that Jia Heng was absent-minded, his mind moved, he raised his knees, and was about to bump into Jia Heng with a knee, trying to get away, but Jia Heng changed his tactics and held down again.

Jia Heng said in a low voice: "Miss Xiao's moves are as exquisite as her cooking skills."

"Let me go." Chen Xiao said in a cold voice, restrained by her stature and anxious.

Jia Heng looked at the girl under him with cold eyes, and said: "Just now the guards of the Jinyi Mansion told me that they want to arrest you in the prison of the Jinyi Mansion and torture you, for example, why are you in the Daci'en Temple? Assassinate King Zhongshun? What do you have to do with the White Lotus Sect?"

Hearing this, Chen Xiao's cold and beautiful face suddenly changed, her pupils almost condensed to the size of a needle's eye, and said in a low voice: "What King Zhongshun? What White Lotus Sect? What are these? I don't know what you are talking about."

Jia Heng smiled lightly, and said: "Miss Xiao, this is meaningless. Miss Xiao's dishes are delicious, and I still like them. If not, I'll call the guard of Jinyi Mansion directly to fetch someone."

Chen Ling looked at the condescending young man with cold eyes, his mind moved slightly, and he pursed his lips in silence.

Even if the person in front of him is not the heir of the crown prince, he is also inseparable from the heir of the crown prince, and should he tell him about this in order to escape?

"Let go of my hand first." Chen Xiao turned his mind, made up his mind, and said in a cold voice.

Jia Heng narrowed his eyes, and the scent of the fresh bath floated between his nostrils. He frowned and asked, "Tell me first."

"You get up first and press on me, I can't breathe." Chen Xiaoxiu frowned slightly, and said in a low voice.

At this moment, the posture of the two of them is that Jia Heng is sitting on the girl's lap, almost leaning against each other.

Jia Heng frowned, and said in a deep voice: "It just makes you breathless, otherwise, what if you run away after you let go."

Chen Xiao said coldly: "I won't run, since I'm at your house, I didn't intend to run."

With her status, even if she falls into the hands of the one in the palace, at most she will end up being imprisoned and her life will not be in danger.

Jia Heng smiled and said: "Miss Xiao's martial arts are too exquisite, I dare not let go, let's just talk like this, but I can let go of your hand, but the legs still have to be pressed."

If it's just manual skill, although the girl's moves are exquisite, her strength is not as strong as his, and she can still subdue her.

Chen Xiao: "..."

Don't you think it's too hot to be so close to others?

After all, the young girl had a strong temperament and was not entangled. There was a moment of silence on her snow-clear face, and she said in a low voice: "I am indeed a member of the White Lotus Sect. I came to your residence just to investigate a court secret about the Longzhi Dynasty."

"What court secrets?" Jia Heng's heart moved slightly, and he faintly felt that he had touched the essence.

Chen Xiaoqing's beautiful face was as frosty as a cage, and said softly: "The whereabouts of the deposed prince's heir is in Jia's mansion. As the governor of Jinyi, you don't know what these words mean?"

Maybe you can try to win over Jia Heng.

Jia Heng frowned, his voice could not hear the slightest clue, and asked: "What are the people of the White Lotus Sect doing to investigate the heir of the abolished prince? Is it for the sake of becoming famous and facilitating rebellion?"

Chen Ling's eyes were fixed, and he was silent for a while.

Jia Heng stared at the girl on the opposite side, seeing the eyebrows, eyes and facial features that somewhat resembled Xianning, a thought came to his mind, and he asked tentatively, "Are you the daughter of the clan?"

When Chen Xiao heard this, her delicate body couldn't help trembling slightly. At this moment, the two of them were in similar shape, so Jia Heng noticed the abnormality of the girl's body.

Jia Heng's eyes were dim, but his heart was determined, his eyes lingered on the girl's slightly glamorous appearance, and said: "No wonder, so similar to Xianning?"

The girl in front of me is probably a descendant of Zhao Zhou or the deposed prince, so she has some similarities with Xianning's eyebrows and eyes, and the pair of slender legs kneeling on her knees, Xianning is almost the same.

It's just that compared to Xianning's cold appearance, which hides the fiery heat and mischievous chaos of the flames, the woman Fei in front of him is more like a real piece of ice jade. At this moment, being captured by him in such a posture, there is no shyness or coyness at all. It's not that there is no difference between men and women. It's just super smart.

The clear eyes under Chen Xiaoxiu's eyebrows were in a daze, and she asked, "Xianning? You mean sister Zhi'er?"

Many years ago, that brisk cousin called her sister behind her.

Jia Heng sized up the girl, his eyes lingered on the top of the snow for a while, and asked: "Judging from Xue...'s age, you should be Xianning's cousin, Zhao Wang, or Zhou Wang? Or the daughter of the abolished prince?"

After reading some confidential information of the Jinyi Mansion during this period, he probably knew a lot about the secret of the seizure of the heirloom during the Longzhi period, and some secrets were obviously destroyed.

Chen Xiao thought for a moment, and did not hide anything at all, and said in a clear voice: "My father is the king of Zhou. I grew up with her in Xianning. I only left the capital five years ago."

Hearing this, Jia Heng really thought, looked at the girl, and asked: "Then the question is, why did the daughter of the King of Zhou join the White Lotus Sect and plot to rebel?"

Generally speaking, no matter how fierce the battle between the royal families is, it would be a big deal if the males were involved, and the daughters would not be involved, because it was unnecessary.

In other words, even if he tied the person in front of him to Emperor Chongping, Emperor Chongping would not kill him. Instead, he would confine him and restrict him to death unless he committed the crime of murder committed by the royal family himself, such as murdering Chongping. Emperor Ping, such as assassinating Empress Song, can't keep it.

Chen Xiao was silent for a moment, then said two words coldly: "Revenge."

Jia Heng frowned and said, "Revenge for killing your father? But King Zhou died of illness, who do you take revenge on?"

In fact, even if the prince is abolished now, it is just a taboo between the government and the public. He was posthumously given to Prince Yizhong in the tenth year of Chongping. As for the transfer of artifacts between the Longzhi and Chongping dynasties, the real buffoon is officially set only by King Zhao.

This is an unfilial and rebellious son who wants to use soldiers and horses to coerce the deposed prince into the palace while Emperor Longzhi is seriously ill in the palace!

As for the deposed prince, after being posthumously gifted to Prince Yizhong, it can only be regarded as a taboo in the court, that is, everyone keeps secret and does not mention this matter.

As for what happened back then, fortunately, King Yong was wise and powerful, and King Zhou understood righteousness, and took down all the rebels of King Zhao.

Afterwards, the King of Zhou died in the winter of the third year of Chongping due to his long-term poor health.

As for whether it was the emperor secretly murdering him, the possibility is actually extremely low, because the king of Zhou has no heirs and his body is weak. Based on his understanding of the emperor, he may be wary, but it will not be so cruel that he will kill them all. Then it is... King Zhongshun?

This is indeed something that King Zhongshun can do.

Then it makes sense, why the daughter of King Zhou wanted to assassinate King Zhongshun in Da Ci'en Temple, this is the revenge of killing his father, and they cannot be sworn together.

The question is whether the emperor gave the order, or did the emperor acquiesce in acting in obedience to the king?

So, let Xianning's cousin vote for the White Lotus Sect in a rage, and start plotting against the thief?

Chen Ling's face without makeup, like a lotus in clear water, had a gloomy expression on it, with clear eyes twinkling under the thin eyebrows, quietly looking at the thoughtful young man on his face.

Jia Heng frowned, and said softly: "You are also a noble daughter of the clan, and the blood of the Chen Han royal family flows from your body. How can you be worthy of Chen Han's ancestors? Even if the King of Zhou was alive, he would not Let you do this nonsense."

Zhou Wang, the prince, should have taken care of the overall situation and helped Emperor Chongping win the throne.

"You are also of the blood of Chen Han's royal family." Chen Xiao looked at the condescending young man through the moonlight, and said every word with a gloomy gaze.

Up to now, the only way to do this is to deceive the person in front of you first, and then slowly check the candidates.

Jia Heng: "???"

"You are actually the heir of the deposed prince." Chen Xiao looked at the young man with shining eyes, and said in a low voice.

"Nonsense!" Jia Heng said coldly.

Impossible, absolutely impossible, if he was the son of the abolished prince, Jin Yang, who seems to know what happened back then, would never be so indifferent, and he would not stop Xianning at all.

But Jinyang doesn't seem to shy away from Xianning, so if he doesn't shy away again, it seems to make sense, anyway, they are both aunts and nephews.

Well, don't think of it that way, character evidence cannot be used as a basis for concluding a case.

Jia Heng looked deeply, guessing the truth, maybe Jin Yang didn't know before?But Jinyang seemed to know something in the past, at least he knew the whereabouts of the prince's heir.

Chen Xiao looked at the young man with an unbelievable expression, and said in a low voice: "Otherwise, I wouldn't hide my identity as a cook in Ningguo Mansion and approach you. Speaking of which, you should call me cousin."

Jia Heng: "..."

However, if you count from Xianning's side... Well, that's not enough to call a cousin, it's almost as good as a sister-in-law.

"This is just your one-sided speech." Jia Heng said in a low voice with no expression on his face.

"Then you can send me to the palace. I'm afraid that those in the palace will think you are the orphan of the prince. Now you are in charge of the brocade clothes inside and the Beijing camp outside. I don't know what you will think." Under the reflection, there was no trace of fear, but the young man's stern face was reflected in the clear eyes, and his tone was extremely calm.

Jia Heng looked gloomy, and said in a low voice: "You are courting death."

Chen Xiao looked at the young man opposite, his eyes as clear as water seemed to be like a spring, and said in a low voice: "You are afraid, you are afraid that the person in the palace will be suspicious of you, and you are afraid that your current position will not be guaranteed."

"I'm afraid that you, an unworthy daughter of the Chen Han royal family, will make the emperor and ministers suspicious and delay the overall situation of ZTE through sowing discord." Jia Heng stared at the girl intently, even a murderous intent flashed in his heart.

Chen Xiaoyu paused for a moment, at a loss for words.

Jia Heng said in a low voice: "In the early years, the crown prince's heirs were difficult, the crown princess had no children, and the crown prince had only one son who was born by Zhao Liangdi, who was one year younger than the king of Qi County. Besides, if you live to this day, even if you are not 26 years old, you will still be 27 years old."

Said, leaned down, leaned in front of the girl's face, looked at the melon-faced girl with willow eyebrows and starry eyes, and a straight nose, and said coldly: "Do you think I am so old?"

Chen Xiao: "..."

Feeling the sound of the boy's breathing close at hand, as well as the gaze hidden under the firm brow, for some reason, I wanted to laugh.

Jia Heng looked at the girl, but saw crystal beads of sweat dripping from the lush temples and cheeks, and fine beads of sweat were also covered on her beautiful neck, but the crystal eyes were still cold, and there was no trace of sweat on her icy muscular face. See gorgeous blush.

Is this treating yourself as a cousin?

"It's an illegitimate child. As the governor of Jinyi, you know that the deposed prince once had an illegitimate child with Concubine Jing, which was regarded as a scandal by the royal family?" Chen Xiao's face was indifferent, and her voice was clear and calm like melting ice and snow.

Jia Heng pretended not to know, leaned close to the girl's ear, and said in a low voice, "You really just open your mouth to tell such a lie."

Chen Xiao was whispered by the young man, and felt itchy earlobes, which made her heart flutter, and said coldly: "Even if you don't believe it, it won't change the fact that you have the blood of the Chen Han royal family on your body."

The young man stood up and looked down at the girl with cold eyes and slightly pursed lips. The sweat under the collarbone was soaked in the little clothes, and the silhouette was faintly visible, but the daughter of King Zhou showed no shyness at all.

Could it be that his reputation in the mansion for harming You's sister, Qiu, gave her the illusion?

Chen Xiao still stared at the young man opposite him coldly, and said: "Concubine Jing is the favorite concubine of the Supreme Emperor. She gave birth to a child with the deposed prince. At the beginning, there was a lot of trouble in the palace. This was a royal scandal. Jinyi Mansion It may not be in the secret file, and it’s normal if you don’t know, you can ask the elderly.”

Jia Heng said coldly: "Even if there is an illegitimate child, how can you be sure that it is me and not someone else? Or, how can you be sure that it is in Jia's family?"

He might need to ask Jinyang, he had doubted whether Keqing was the heir of the abolished prince, but the clue was cut off in the Yangshengtang.

Chen Xiaoxiu frowned lightly, between her pink lips parted, her cherry teeth gleamed white, and said in a low voice: "Don't lose, never forget, immortal life and prosperity, these two sentences were given to the deposed prince by the real Changchun, a close friend of the deposed prince. , meaning timeless, quite similar to the meaning of passing on the jade seal of the country to be ordered by heaven, which means longevity and prosperity, but now it is engraved on the stone in the West Mansion, this is someone pointing the clue to the Jia family."

"Then it can't be Baoyu?" Jia Heng asked deliberately, frowning.

Could it be that the Minister of Xiao Rongguo used a trick to steal the dragon and turn the phoenix into a phoenix?

"It's not Baoyu, he's too young to match." Chen Xiao glanced at the boy and said calmly.

In fact, the age of the person in front of her is still not the same, and she hasn't checked it clearly, but it doesn't prevent her from misleading him with words.

Jia Heng said coldly: "It can't be me either, I'm from a partial branch of the Jia family, my parents have records, and my background is clean."

He is by no means an orphan of the prince. The person in front of him, in the name of a so-called orphan of the prince, wants to alienate an important minister who holds military power and is in charge of the privy.

"Your mother was a female medical officer at the Ministry of Internal Medicine's Shangyao Bureau, and she served Concubine Jing back then. Since you are the governor of Jinyi, you have many spies under your command. You can secretly send someone to investigate your mother's status." Identity." Chen Xiao looked at the young man opposite, and said calmly.

This is also what made her quite suspicious, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence, perhaps she was entrusted by the medical officer.

Jia Heng's eyes were fixed. His mother did know a little bit of medical skills, but her face remained unchanged, and she said coldly: "You have woven a lie, which is nothing more than deceiving people and separating monarchs and ministers."

Chen Ling looked at the young man opposite, and said: "You don't believe me, just go and check it out. If you are the heir of the prince, you will get back everything that should belong to you. That chair was originally yours. , I don't need to separate, and he won't tolerate you."

Jia Heng said in a cold voice: "Demonic words confuse people and confuse people's hearts."

Now I really dare not send the daughter of the King of Zhou to the Son of Heaven, in case she fools the Son of Heaven by talking nonsense, and then suddenly becomes suspicious, which will be detrimental to the country's affairs.

"Don't worry, I won't tell others, I will help you get everything back." Chen Ling seemed to see the doubts of the young man opposite, and said softly.

If the person in front of him is really the son of the abolished prince, then use him to regain the throne and seek justice for his father. If not, it may not be impossible to deceive and win him over.

Jia Heng was speechless for a while, leaned close to the girl's ear, and said softly: "Believe it or not, I will kill you to silence you?"

Chen Xiao's face was pale, but she felt that her earlobe was almost close to the young man's soft lips, but her delicate body was already a little stiff, and said in a low voice, "I'll do as you please."

Jia Heng whispered to the girl's ear, "First... kill later?"

Regarding the identity of the girl in front of him and the words of abolishing the prince, Jin Yang must know, and he just needs to go to the eldest princess's mansion tomorrow.

"You... beast!" Chen Xiaoliu and Yexiu frowned slightly, and looked at the young man in shock with clear eyes, but for a moment, he was startled, but saw that the young man slowly let go of his hand, and he was no longer suppressing himself. He was wrinkled tightly, and his face showed no joy or anger.

Chen Xiaoyu's face was frosty, her eyes were condensed, her thoughts were complicated, this person is really...

Jia Heng asked, "By the way, what's your name? Chen Sanniang?"

Chen Xiao was stunned for a while, and said quietly, "Chen Xiao."

Thinking about it, this person already had some doubts about his own life experience.

"It's getting late, go to bed early, you're sweating a lot." Jia Heng whispered, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and took off the black cloth towel from his head.

Chen Xiao: "..."

I don't know why, but when I saw that one moment I was still shouting and shouting, and the next moment it was calm, I felt a little absurd.

While Jia Heng was talking, he got up and picked up the dagger and left. The daughter of the King of Zhou was a difficult one, and she couldn't be killed. Si's words can make him miserable.

Then stay by your side and get the news of the White Lotus Sect out of his mouth, so let's keep it for now.

Chen Ling looked at the back of the disappearing boy, pursed her pink lips, rubbed her wrists, straightened her clothes, and a slight blush appeared on her clear cheeks. It was obvious that the "boys go up and women go down" was not for nothing. There was a trace of strangeness in the bottom of my heart, but it was only a breath, her expression was still cold, and her eyes were dim.

He absolutely didn't dare to ask that person in the palace, so as long as he investigates, she can also use this to find out the truth and determine the heir of the abolished prince, so...let's stay for now.
