Eastward Flow

The voice from behind frightened Lin Mengdie. He turned around and saw the queen standing under the tree at a glance. He was startled, and immediately bowed to salute: "I have seen Your Majesty."

Xuan Jingchen nodded, "Where did you get the tune you played just now?"

Lin Mengdie listened, pondered for a moment, and said to Xuan Jingchen, "This is the song of Prince Zhaoming."

"Then where did you get it?"

When Lin Mengdie heard this, she knew in her heart that Xuan Jingchen had heard this song before.He pondered for a moment, and said to Xuan Jingchen: "This is the score that the young master of the Zhenbei Hou family lent me in the early spring. She used this score to thank me for the song "Sea God". This score was written by her in Lanzhou. At that time, I got it from a palace man who escaped from Yuanzhou, and it is the masterpiece of the late emperor."

Lin Mengdie didn't dare to hide anything, so she told all about it.After hearing this, Xuan Jingchen wondered why it had something to do with Le Zhengsu.It seems that everything related to His Highness can find its shadow in her.

"The original score, but is it still in Mr. Lezheng's hands?" Xuan Jingchen asked again, and Lin Mengdie agreed.Xuan Jingchen forced a smile, and said to him: "You come to play by the river today, but for the sake of the late emperor?"

"The talent of the late emperor is admirable, and I am playing today to worship the gods of the late emperor." Lin Mengdie agreed, and has been calm and generous since then.

Xuan Jingchen praised him, "Mr. Lin has a heart. The dew is heavy at night, Mr. should go home earlier." After she got the answer she wanted, she left these words and turned back to the palace.

The next day, Xuan Jingchen ordered someone to go to Yule Zhengsu to ask for the score, but learned that the score was not in her possession.After several investigations, Si Ming who went there learned the news that Le Zhengsu and Zhong Limu went to the shore on the day of the Ghost Festival.Moreover, he still went with Su He.

Zhong Limu is Zhong Lisuo's only younger brother, so it's not surprising that he would go to Yue Zhengsu to ask for the score.So a few days later, Xuan Jingchen summoned Zhong Limu into the palace.

"I heard that there is another song by the first emperor in Yuanzhou that has been circulated today. The music score was accidentally discovered by the young master of the Lezheng family. Miki, you should go to the young master Lezheng and ask for the original score." Sitting at the desk Xuan Jingchen, who was in front of him, looked at the suave and suave King of Yunzhong, and threw out his own question.

When Zhong Limu heard this, he thought that Sister's plan might be ahead of schedule.What they prepared was to make the queen doubtful and gradually discover the truth, which would be better than telling the truth, so Zhong Limu pondered for a while and said: "It is true. The queen did not leave a single thing in this world. I can't receive incense, so when I found out that Young Master Lezheng had this score in his hand, I begged for it."

"Le Zhengsu is a rare young man. When he heard that I was doing it for the imperial sister, he gave it to me without hesitation." Zhong Limu looked at Xuan Jingchen cautiously, and tentatively said, "Your Majesty ordered me to come here, but for the music score." ?”

"If Your Majesty wants it, then I'll go back and get it for Your Majesty." Zhong Limu gave it very straightforwardly, and agreed before Xuan Jingchen could speak.Xuan Jingchen read aloud and nodded, "Thank you Miki over there. If you give me the sheet music, I will do something for you. If you still need anything, I will reward you."

Zhong Limu shook his head, "Your Majesty is my sister-in-law's wife, so it's right to keep her relics. In this way, sister Huang is reunited with you."

On this day, Zhong Limu sent the score to the palace, and Xuan Jingchen, who finally held Zhong Lisuo's relic, carefully put it in the dark wooden box in front of the case.She looked at the music score in the box and the familiar handwriting, as if she had got Zhong Lisuo's constant companion.

Zhong Lisuo's original plan was canceled in an instant because of Xuan Jingchen's chance meeting on the shore of Liangshui.After Zhong Limu finished this task, he ran up to Zhong Lisuo excitedly and told her everything.

Zhong Lisuo was nervous and looking forward to it, and asked Zhong Limu anxiously, "Did you tell her about the paper quality?"

"Huh? Why did you say that?" Zhong Limu didn't understand, so he looked at a loss.

Zhong Lisuo sighed, and said, "I use newly made rice paper. The paper used in the Chu Kingdom period is very different from the paper used today. Few people will notice this. If you remind her... Sigh ..." It's all her fault, for forgetting to mention this matter to Zhong Limu.

After thinking about it, Zhong Lisuo had to blame himself, why didn't he make it more obvious when he cheated in the first place.

That's the first step she took.She had been hoping that Xuan Jingchen would find something in that sheet music. If the queen took a closer look, she might become suspicious.

But no, nothing.No stranger came to the mansion to question him, and no mysterious person came to investigate him, so Zhong Lisuo could only find another way.

Just like that, I went to Hongwen Hall to give the students a holiday, and when the Kyushu soldiers and horses entered Yuanzhou City, the emperor and ministers moved to the Xishan hunting ground and palace, where military exercises and noble families were held.

On this day, the sun was shining brightly, and the bright sunlight fell on the boundless grass in the West Mountain.The autumn wind blows over the flags of various colors in Kyushu, fluttering with the wind.Under the colorful flags, carefully selected soldiers from various states were lined up neatly in nine rows.Next to the nine columns of soldiers and horses stood tall noble boys in helmets and armor. Headed by Jingming Princess Xuan Jingning, they waited for the emperor to take the throne together with the soldiers beside him.

Zhong Lisuo was also among this group of noble boys, looking up at the stands not far away.Sitting on the stage are His Majesty, Privy Councilor Princess, and the left and right prime ministers.On both sides of the stand, there are sheds of various families. Not far behind the sheds is a heavily guarded camp. Behind the camp is an endless forest.

It is surrounded by mountains on all sides, leaving only the wide grassland in the middle.Only one road splits from the mountains and leads to the center of the mountains.They came from here this morning, and the majestic palace of the emperor is at the foot of the big mountain on the way here.

For every military exercise, the fourteen-year-old boys and girls from each family would join the army in the camp and join the battle.The form of the military exercise is the three-three-family, that is, the soldiers and horses selected from the three states will form a group and cooperate temporarily. After the tripartite confrontation decides the winner, the winning group will be divided into three groups to fight. To be rewarded by His Majesty.

Adding officials and becoming nobles, gold, silver and jewelry, everything you expect.

The Qing Kingdom's military exercise required the most elite soldiers from each prefecture, and the vast Western Mountains could accommodate nearly [-] soldiers and horses from Kyushu for the military exercise, but at this time the only soldiers standing on the field were the most qualified soldiers.

But this number has already amazed the North Traversing Envoy.Since Xuan Jingchen drove the Subei tribe into the northern part of Hanzhou, the strength of Subei troops has been greatly reduced, and it is no longer as good as before.Seeing this scene now, awe was born in my heart, and a bit of respect appeared on my face.

The sound of the drum was vibrating, hitting everyone's hearts hard.The time has come, and after the Commander-in-Chief prayed for blessings, Xuan Jingchen stood on the stage in a golden armor, with a knife as a stick, looked at the densely packed soldiers, and said, "You all celebrate for me!" The country's elite, this time in front of foreign envoys, need to do their best. Those who have outstanding performance will be rewarded."

The waiter next to him read out the emperor's rewards one by one. The richness of the rewards even moved the noble children.Xuan Jingchen waited for the waiter to finish reading, and shouted loudly: "All the generals obey the order, and the whole army marches out to the west mountain and camps. The state with the most military flags will be the winner."

In this way, the ten-day military exercise officially began.

After the whole army settled in Xishan, Xuan Jingchen also led the ministers into the depths of the secluded forest, and watched the performance of each army with the Northward Envoy.

Zhong lisuo, who participated in this kind of activity for the first time, found it very strange that she happened to be assigned to the same state team as Su He and Xu Renli.The three of them already had a deep relationship because of the companionship, but after being honed in the mountains and forests for the past few days, their relationship became even deeper.On the seventh day, when the joint army of the state where they were located won the victory, the three armies suddenly separated, and again presented a three-legged confrontation, and began to compete for the last winner.

The three who were celebrating with Su He and Xu Renli, before they had time to react, saw the originally peaceful situation and suddenly became chaotic.

The headless arrow feathers and gun shafts are painted with bright colors, as long as they are stained three times, they will be cleared out.Zhong Lisuo didn't have time to react, but Xu Renli picked up Su He and carried him to the horse. In the noisy crowd, he shouted at Zhong Lisuo: "Leave first, and then make a long-term plan!"

In the melee, the three armies quickly separated under the command of the generals, and retreated to their strongholds to fight again.They want to capture the flag, not the people.

Zhong lisuo quickly realized that he got on a horse and pulled the reins to drive the horse along with the large army.Su He was young and couldn't keep up with the soldiers and horses of the large army, so he fell behind a lot.Zhong Lisuo had no choice but to turn the horse's head and drive towards Su He.

The sound of the horse's hooves shook, and it galloped through the lush woods.She ran towards Su He, and approached him together with Xu Renli.But at this moment, a vision suddenly appeared, and an arrow feather pierced through the forest and shot straight at Su He.

"Your Majesty!" Xu Renli roared, "Get down!"

Hearing this, Su He got down in a panic.

The sound of the arrow feather piercing the air was heard, Xu Renli rode the horse, stretched out his hand and grabbed it suddenly, the palm of his hand fell, and the arrow feather pierced towards Su He without hindrance.

Youfeng flashed past Su He's back, and with a bang, it firmly pressed against the tree beside Su He.Su He was terrified, looking at the tree trunk that had been penetrated an inch and the arrow feathers that were still shaking, his trembling lips could not utter a word.

Xu Renli was covered in cold sweat, looking at the arrow feather with a head, his face was pale.

Zhong Lisuo rushed over, saw the arrow feather, and shouted, "Run, take your son with you!"

"It's an assassin!"

As she spoke, she looked at Su He's apparently limp body lying on the horse, reined in her own horse, dismounted and jumped behind Su He, hugged Su He's limp body in her arms, pulled the rein, and walked towards the army just now. The place to go said resolutely: "Go, go to a place with many people."

Xu Renli also reacted, pulling the reins and following Zhong Lisuo.But obviously, this was a premeditated killing, the hunters had already prepared their nets, how could they let the prey escape.

The sound of horseshoes came from the direction the army was leaving, forcing Zhong Lisuo to turn his horse's head and break into the depths of the dense forest step by step.
