Gate of Heaven 1 - 2
Chapter XXVII
I pondered for a while and felt that there was really nothing to hide from Murong Ze, so I told him everything in detail. Murong Ze nodded after listening and said something that made me tremble with fear...
"Isn't Tang Fei Big Brother's man?"
When did Tang Fei become Big Brother's man?
"Fourth sister-in-law, do you really think Tang Fei is a traitor to Elysium? Did Tang Fei really think that Jianqiu would fall for such a clumsy scam? This could only be a play that he and Jianqiu had discussed. Fourth Brother must have known that they had acted like that because they wanted to ask you for the key to the Gate of Heaven. Unfortunately, Father didn't explain it clearly, so you didn't know either!”
Murong Ze's words struck my heart, causing my stomach to convulse…
" Ah Cang would never lie to me, he wouldn't-" My voice was shaking a little, probably because I was angry.
Murong Ze saw that my face was pale and glared at him angrily. He shook his head helplessly."Fourth sister-in-law, you're really innocent. Fourth brother naturally won't lie to you, but this matter concerns your safety. Do you think that your current situation is suitable for you to worry about every day?”
I have never doubted Murong Cang's sincerity towards me, never.
"I knew that Tang Fei was Big Brother's man. It's just that we didn't know that he was the Elysium's White Tiger.”
I suddenly thought of a question." You all know that Father is-"
He nodded." We all know, and only a few of us know. It was Eldest Brother who discovered it first. Besides, you also know that the men of the Murong family are not fools. Moreover, Imperial Father did not really intend to hide it from us.”
"Father has given me such an important responsibility, so I thought Big Brother would be more suitable.”Actually, I've always been complaining about this.
"Father wants to give you a chance. Don't you want to kill your enemy with your own hands?”
I smiled bitterly.”
Murong Ze smiled. There were too many things in his eyes that I couldn't understand. He didn't answer me, so I didn't ask him anymore…
Murong Cang was very happy about Murong Ze's arrival. I looked at the two people who were drinking happily and shook my head. It really felt like I had returned to that snowy New Year's Eve. I was so happy that day. Now, all of this could still be maintained because we were all here, all here…
After Murong Ze came to Nongchao Villa, it became much more lively. I told Murong Ze everything frankly. Ah Cang didn't say anything, but he didn't do anything personally every time. Instead, he sent Qing Feng to go with Murong Ze. For this, Murong Ze complained a lot. This guy thought that he came with me to wait for labor. Since he came, it would be a waste not to order him around, hehe!
With Murong Cang accompanying me every day, my days were much more comfortable. I would occasionally play the zither with him and sometimes listen to him talk about his matters in Xirong. It was just that every time this happened, Shu Lei would come out and cause trouble. This kid would always interrupt Murong Cang's words and say that what he said was wrong. Although I grew up there in name, everyone knows what's going on. So whenever Shu Lei casually said,'Sister, am I right?'I really had a headache!
"Ah Cang, how's the matter with Tang Fei going?”I casually asked because the 15th of December was coming soon. The martial world was currently talking about this joyous occasion. Everyone was talking about how beautiful the daughter of the City Lord of Sunset City, Miss Feng Ping, was, and Tang Fei was definitely a rare good man among the younger generation of experts. Although the Tang family had declined, the reputation of Swordforge Manor in the martial arts world was enough to smash people.
In short, this was definitely a match made in heaven. A talented scholar and a beautiful woman-ah, no, it should be said that a hero and a beautiful woman were a perfect match! It's just that I'm always wondering if this marriage will work out. Judging from the current situation, it's very difficult. Jianqiu will definitely destroy it, and I…will help destroy it, hehe!
"If it weren't for the fact that you can't move now, I would definitely bring you to watch the show. But now, no matter what you say, you can't!”How did this kid become a worm in my stomach? I haven't even said anything and he can already use words to stop me. Although I've never underestimated him, his current performance doesn't allow me to drink at all. I'm being eaten alive. Depressed!
"If we want to walk in the martial world now, what identity should we use? What is your identity?" I didn't care what he said about not letting me go out and just changed the topic.
"Mount Qiwu's Black and White Dual Swords is my teacher.”He pulled the blanket over me to prevent the cold wind from entering. I shrunk my neck and heard him complain again,"It's so cold, but you still insist on coming out. What if you catch a cold?”
" I like this open space. I like this cold and wet breeze. I like you to hug me with your stiff neck. I like…"
"I love it when you say you like me, Xi-er!”
He gently held my face. His hands were so warm and gentle. He planted a kiss on my icy cheek. I sighed softly and raised my neck. I giggled. My lips and tongue intertwined, and I was a little confused…
"Ah Cang, bring me to-"
"Alright-"
“YES！！！！”
I jumped down happily and threw the blanket on him. Ignoring his eyes that were about to pop out, I proudly shook my index finger."You promised, so don't go back on your word!”
"You're cheating, you heartless girl." He snorted coldly.”
I don't care about his anger. I won anyway. I don't care. He hugged me helplessly and said angrily,"I really want to throw you into the lake now!”
I immediately thought of the time at big brother's birthday banquet, when this kid teased me. Hmph, I haven't even settled the score yet, but you're right.
"It's not that I don't know that you're bored, but look at you now. It's so dangerous outside. It's better to stay at home. When the child is born, you can do whatever you want, okay?”
I pouted, feeling unhappy. What Murong Cang said made sense, but…
"I'll stay with you. Is that okay?”
"Eh, really?"
"Ze is here, so he should be of some use. Let Qingming and him cooperate with Jianqiu. You said that Tang Fei is Big Brother's man, so only Big Brother and Fifth Brother know about this. I've never seen Tang Fei before. I've always been stationed in the southern border and rarely return to the court. However, he could not rule out the possibility that Jianqiu would tell him everything, so it might be better to let A'ze take action. This kid had been traveling for many years, and there was quite a lot to talk about in the Jianghu about Young Master Leisure Cloud. His identity was more casual, and if he split up with Jianqiu, he would definitely succeed.”
"Are you trying to cheat me of the treasure key or are you trying to find something from Luori City?" I asked with a frown.”
Murong Cang rubbed my head with a smile." Don't just listen to Ah Ze. Jianqiu should still be trusted. As for Tang Fei, I think he just wants the truth and an explanation for what happened ten years ago." We know very little about the Elysium, so we still have to rely on Jianqiu and Qingfeng. As for the Four Great Guardians, according to the information provided by Qingfeng, Azure Dragon is a reserved and steady person, Vermilion Bird acts strangely, and Black Tortoise is considered the most honest and honest of the four, but also the best martial arts. They each occupy one side and will not appear unless summoned by the Sect Master. Speaking of which, the headquarters of the Elysium is in Jiangnan, but it is actually just a shell. To put it bluntly, Father's Elysium is an assassin group. This was not a secret in Jianghu, so it was impossible to say that there was really a fixed location. Who do you think is the most suspicious person in the sect, the one who betrayed Imperial Father and plotted to kill your family?”
I thought about it and asked,"Is there no one else?"”
"If it's a difficult case, Tang Fei and the others might do it themselves, but under normal circumstances, there will naturally be professional killers to deal with these. "But these people are definitely not enough to organize a bloodbath at my father-in-law's marshal's mansion in Xirong overnight. You think the same as me. If the Yun family murder case was done by the Heavenly Gates, then this person has a lot of weight in the Heavenly Gates. Besides the four guardians, these people can only be Cheng Jingyun, who has been with my father since I was young. He seems to be the Jiangnan Dao Imperial Envoy, but he is actually one of the Heavenly Gates 'Hall Masters." His position was not as high as a guardian, but his profession was a lucrative one. In the early years, Elysium's cases were all assassinations of his father's political enemies. However, his father still approached them as an outsider, mainly to hide his identity. The only people who knew his father's identity in Elysium were Qing Feng's father, the former shadow guard Qing Shan, and Jian Qiu's father Jian Jingfeng. At that time, Qing Shan was the only guard of his father. However, after Jian Jingfeng died, Jian Qiu did not take over his position as White Tiger, so his father arranged for Jian Qiu to be another guard. He did not disappoint his father. Of the two of them, Azurepeak and Jianqiu, one stayed by his father's side while the other stayed here to keep an eye on the Heaven's Gate headquarters. At present, they were still extremely trustworthy.”Murong Cang spoke tirelessly. It seemed that this kid had done his homework and must have had a long talk with Autumn Sword and Qingfeng.
"There must be someone in the assassin sect who specializes in business, right?”I pushed him and changed my position. It felt good to be nestled in his arms.
He was stunned by my question and asked in confusion,"What business discussion?"
I was also stunned. Sigh, he was spouting nonsense again. Then, I covered it up with a silly smile." What I mean is that Elysium must also take on other businesses, but since it's such a huge organization, there will naturally be people who will specially deal with it-this-" I thought for a long time but couldn't express it clearly. After thinking for a long time, Murong Cang burst out laughing and pinched my nose."There are times when you don't get what you mean? Are you talking about the person in charge of buying and selling?”
I nodded. Assassins should have agents, right?
" This person is the Deputy Sect Leader Ying Juechen who is currently staying behind at the Heaven's Gate headquarters. I heard that this person is also quite a character. He climbed from an ordinary assassin to the Deputy Sect Leader before he was twenty years old. After ten years, he is still heavily relied on by father. He is definitely not simple. Also…"
_____________________________________________________________________
That day, I fell asleep when Murong Cang was talking passionately. I was really a little sleepy and couldn't help but want to endure it. After I got pregnant, my taste became very strange and I got tired easily.
Today is the 10th day of the 12th month, and there are only five days left until the wedding banquet in Luori City. Murong Ze reluctantly walked out of the city with us, and Qing Styx followed along. His family was still the same as when they left Tian Du.
I didn't hire any extra servants either. Xiao Jing alone was enough to take care of my daily life. Some of the chores were done by Murong Cang's two guards. Shu Lei wasn't a pampered young master. Sometimes, he would go out with Qing Feng to hunt for wild animals. Our daily food problems were actually personally solved by Comrade Murong Cang. To be honest, his cooking skills were not bad. It's just that recently, because my stomach is getting bigger and bigger, and there are many things that Little Jing doesn't understand, Murong Cang invited an old maid in. We call her Chang Ma. This time, I felt much more relaxed. Don't say that Murong Cang was nervous, it was my first time giving birth. Moreover, if it was in the modern world, I would be a minor and wouldn't know anything.
Before Mother Chang came, I was either sitting or lying down every day. Murong Cang thought that it was good to rest more. Anyway, he didn't let me move around. Now that someone who knew the ropes came and said that it was good to walk occasionally, I regained my freedom. They often accompanied me to walk outside the manor. Ningzhou was located in the Jiangnan water village, and the manor was built in a relatively remote area. When we went out to move around, we didn't meet any outsiders. Every time we walked by the river outside the manor, we were still seven or eight meters away. How could they let me get close?
I haven't seen any living water since I came here. No matter whether it's in the palace or outside the palace, there's always a dead lake or a dead pool. As someone who has seen the surging ocean, it's really boring. Now that there's a living water for me to see, I can still make do with it.
"Madam, the sky is getting dark. You should go back. Young Master isn't at home today, so you should go back earlier!”
I nodded. Ah Cang wasn't at home, so Chang Ma cooked, but I liked my husband's cooking more.
I was about to turn around when I suddenly felt a little pain in my stomach. I hurriedly asked Xiao Jing to help me. Azurepeak saw that the situation was not right and picked me up."What happened to you?"
Xiao Jing wiped my sweat with a handkerchief and asked anxiously,"What's wrong? Are you going to give birth?"
I wanted to laugh, but the pain only made me pull my face with difficulty." Silly Little Jing, you don't have any common sense compared to me. It's still early. I was just kicked a few times by the little guy. Azurepeak," I looked up at him. The guy's face was as red as a tomato." Take me back quickly. It's a little cold."”
After I said that, they didn't dare to be negligent. Little Jing Qing Peak was a martial arts expert. Even though he was carrying two people (1 1), he was still as fast as flying.
When I returned to the villa, Murong Cang really hadn't come back yet. Chang Nanny came over to see me and said that it was nothing. At this time, it was normal for a child to stretch. She only asked me to lie down properly. In the future, when the wind blows, I shouldn't go out to get the wind. I also caught a cold.
I nodded. I still listened to the words of the experts. I was definitely not a willful person. I would not joke about my own body, let alone my child.
"When Young Master returns, don't mention what happened just now, lest he gets worried.”I moved my body and leaned back, signaling Xiao Jing to give me a book.
I asked Xiao Jing to help Chang Ma finish half of the dinner. When only Qingfeng and I were left, I asked him if he knew what Murong Cang had gone out to do today. Actually, Murong Cang would tell me every time he went out. When he came back, he would also talk about things outside. However, he left in a hurry today. He went out before I got up. According to reason, ever since Murong Ze came, he was basically very free. I don't know what was urgent, but he didn't even wait for me to wake up to say hello.
"I'm not too sure either. It's just that yesterday, an old friend of his highness sent a messenger to the residence. I don't know if he went to meet today.”
I was a little puzzled." This isn't a big deal. Why didn't you tell me? Or perhaps you invited him to the manor to continue his business. I'll meet him too." I frowned and glanced at Azurepeak. I noticed that this kid's eyes were flickering. When did Azurepeak have such an expression? Could it be that he's hiding something from me?
"Azurepeak, tell me, are you hiding something from me?”
There must be, why aren't you saying?
"Princess Consort, I really didn't know."
"He's a prince and a general who leads the army to guard a region. I don't believe that he would have as many connections in the pugilistic world as Prince Jin. As for the Black and White Dual Swords, it was also invited by the late emperor to teach the princes martial arts, right? He didn't know that he was only the master of his highness. Is that so?"
Azurepeak stared at me." How did you guess?”
"I've seen Prince Jin and the Emperor's martial arts. I'm from the same sect as your prince, so I have some insight. As for Jianqiu, I think he got to know him because he needed weapons in the army. It's said that besides the government, Swordsmithing Manor is the only family that has the right to forge a large number of weapons, right?”
Azurepeak's forehead started to sweat. I looked at him in amusement." Tell me, don't think about hiding anything from me. In the end, you should only be responsible for me. Who was the one who met with His Highness today?”
Azurepeak was a little helpless. He looked at me, the kind of helplessness I was used to.
"Wangfei, this is indeed not a big deal and it is not worth me hiding it. It is just that wangye thinks that it is better to avoid trouble, so he instructed me not to mention it to you. In fact, this time, His Highness wanted to meet the most famous singer in Jiangnan, Du Yunyan. If you want to know more, I'll call Yiwen over. He's His Highness's guard and has been with His Highness for more than ten years. He should know everything.”
Azurepeak actually had a faint smile in his eyes. Sometimes, I really don't understand this kid.
"Do you think I will ask?"
"Of course you won't ask. This matter is actually a small matter to you, but wangye is very nervous.”
"Don't go if you're nervous!"”
"But this Lady Du Yunyan is not an ordinary person. In the five provinces of Central South, if you want to inquire about something, you can go to Du Yunyan's House of Red Sleeves and get a satisfactory answer.”
I found it funny when I heard this. It's not that I look down on this fireworks girl, but there are actually many female heroes in the world of prostitution, good daughters who are not inferior to men. It's just that it's funny that Murong Cang wants to use them. It's definitely not what Qingfeng thinks. I naturally believed that Murong Cang would not have second thoughts about me, and Azurepeak naturally had his good intentions.
"Wangfei, you and wangye must be well!”
This sentence was very simple, but it touched me. Azurepeak's blessing was so sincere and simple. I nodded hard."Don't think that I'm such a petty person. I know these things. Don't worry.”
"Then when you asked me with a cold face just now, of course I thought you were angry.”He saw that I really didn't care and felt relieved. He poured me a glass of water." And why didn't you ask about His Highness 'departure this morning? Why did you only ask now?”
I took the teacup and gestured for him to sit down and talk. I can't always punish him to stand, and this isn't the palace. It's better to have fewer rules. They all know my temper.
"When I woke up in the morning, I was very sleepy. Moreover, it's not a big deal for wangye to go out. It's just that I didn't expect to be out for an entire day. Azurepeak, you were the one who leaked it. Because today, whenever I ask about wangye, you're very nervous, which makes me suspicious. I say, you're usually such a smart person. Why can't you hide your thoughts sometimes?”
Azurepeak thought for a moment and said,"I shouldn't hide my thoughts in front of you. If I can't let you see me clearly and trust me, how can I complete my mission of loyalty to you?"”
Azurepeak's words touched me once again, and I even felt my eyes get a little wet." Azurepeak, do you believe me too?”
He nodded his head. We master and servant have finally achieved our goal!
"You have to believe in wangye, just like you do to me, understand?”
He nodded solemnly again and promised,""I understand!"
"Actually, regarding this information collection, our Elysium also has our own system, doesn't it?”
" It's the Wind-Chasing Hall. The Hall Master is Cheng Jingyun. There are restaurants and tea houses run by the Wind-Chasing Hall in each of the twenty-one provinces of the Celestial Empire. These places are the best places to gather information. So, in this aspect, Miss Du Yunyan is not much better than us. It's just that I heard that some of these places are not doing very well, and the sect has to allocate a lot of money to subsidize them every year.”
"Is that so? I will solve this problem, but you have to find out the truth and see if someone is blackmailing the headquarters.”
"This has been confirmed because this hall was originally set up to collect information and did not put much effort into management. Moreover, the financial resources of the Heavenly Gates do not care about this.”
I rolled my eyes at him, a little discouraged." No one will complain about having too much money. I'll write a plan for you in a few days. You can order your subordinates to do it. I promise to change the losses of these industries and make them profitable within three months.”
As long as I put my heart into it, I don't believe that I'll suffer losses. I'll inject some modern management concepts into it, and I'll write down the details. It's not that I haven't read books on this, but I haven't had a stage to display my talents. Now that I have such a huge organization to display my talents, I'm naturally obliged. (Editor's note: Originally, only a portion of them were not well-managed. Don't make it so that they were completely wiped out later. The poor Wind Chasing Hall will become this guy's test subject just like that. Ouch ~~)
I still wanted to tell Azurepeak about my opinion of Elysium, but I heard Little Jing's miserable cry from afar-
" Madam, Madam, it's not good. Young Master, he…" As she said that, she fell to the ground. Azurepeak went over to help her up. When he saw her, his eyes were red.
My hand trembled and the tea and cup rolled to the ground. I asked in a trembling voice,"He-what's wrong?"
" Sob, sob, sob. Young Master is injured and is in the front hall. Why didn't you let me tell you…"
