Princess, please respect yourself
Work related
Ah, when you took off your clothes just now, I lowered my head, don't look at evil~"
"..." Long Gui frowned slightly, "Okay, be careful not to fall asleep in the bathtub, I'm leaving."
After speaking, she turned and left, and turned around suddenly when she reached the door, and Ziluan, who was frightened, untied the belt of her clothes and quickly covered her clothes again.
"Remember to add hot water in time, don't catch cold." Long Gui reminded again, seeing Ziluan nodding repeatedly, he opened the door and went out.
Long Gui walked back to his bedroom with a sullen face, asked the maids to light all the candles, then waved away all the maids, undressed and stood in front of the full-length bronze mirror.
The newly polished copper mirror is shining brightly, clearly reflecting a young body with many scars, one next to the other, protruding and twisting like reptiles, the whole person looks like a puppet spliced together in small steps .
Long Gui turned around halfway to look at the recent scar on his right shoulder blade, where the new scab had not fallen off, it was as big as a teacup, and was uneven.
"It's really ugly..." Long Gui sighed, feeling sorry for his body for the first time.
There was a light knocking sound on the window, Long Gui's expression turned serious, he reached out to pick up his clothes, put them on, walked to the window, and opened the window.
The man in black outside the window caught a glimpse of Long Gui's disheveled clothes. He quickly knelt down, lowered his head, and held up an unsigned envelope in his hand.
Long Gui generously took the envelope, opened the wax, took a quick look at the letter inside, sneered, lit it, threw it into the brazier, wrote a few lines with a pen, sealed it and handed it to the kneeling outside Man in black.
The man in black left quietly without disturbing anyone else.
Long Gui wrote in the letter: Although the pulse condition cannot be seen, is it true that Concubine Ning is not pregnant with a mortal fetus?Let her rest in bed for a few days. "
☆, question
The next day, Long Gui finished dealing with all the big and small things, walked to Ziluan's residence, reached out to push the door, but found that the door was tied.
Long Gui stood at the door suspiciously, then heard the sound of splashing water coming from the room, hesitated for a moment, turned and left.
On the evening of the third day, Long Gui came back from the palace and kept checking the time. Seeing that it was time for dinner, he simply put aside all the things at hand and got up to leave, but was stopped by Qian Da at the door.
"Princess, please stay! I have a very urgent matter to report!"
Long Gui looked at him coldly, and saw that he had the aura of killing him if he didn't tell him, so he turned around and went back to sit down, "Speak."
Qian Da reported: "Yesterday, Li Xian's Prime Minister's Mansion sent a buying group to Hengcheng to buy furs with several large boxes of gold and silver. They were afraid of being robbed on the way, so they accompanied a lot of expert guards to escort them."
Long Gui stood up, approached Qian Da, and asked, "Are you sure they are going to buy fur?"
"I think it's very suspicious! But the size of the box is indeed a silver box. There is also a famous tailor accompanying him. However, because of the strict guards, he sent people to test him several times, but he couldn't get close."
Long Gui walked back and forth a few times, then walked quickly to the desk, pulled out a map of the Dragon Kingdom and spread it out, and slid his finger along the official road from the capital to Hengcheng. The lines are criss-crossed, and every inch and inch is soaked with blood and tears.
Long Gui quietly put away the map, took out a piece of letter paper, brushed it with a brush, and wrote several pages of letters, corrected and corrected, and finally copied it carefully. After writing, he carefully dried it, folded it, put it in the Envelope, hesitating for a moment, walked to the door under Qian Da's expectant eyes, handed the letter to the maid waiting at the door, and ordered: "Send the letter to Mr. Yan, just say that I will be busy for a while, these few days Don't go with her anymore."
The maid responded, took the envelope and left.
Long Gui turned around and saw Qian Da drooping his head in frustration, stood up and wanted to leave, and wondered, "You want to leave?"
"Isn't there nothing wrong?" Qian Da muttered.
"Why are you all right? I'm going to assign you a job that others can't do: go to check on Che Fei's body, make sure to check it out, pry the coffin if you have one, and dig the grave if you have one. Do you remember what Che Fei looks like?" Does it look like it?"
Qian Da replied: "Che Fei is seven feet one inch tall, the skin on his face was damaged, his right wrist was dislocated, and his arm bone was broken, so he should have suffered serious injuries."
Long Gui nodded, and added: "And his ears are pierced. When you check, don't be negligent."
Qian was taken aback: "Why does he have pierced ears? Could it be that he is a woman disguised as a man?"
Long Gui stared at Qian Da and said nothing, until Qian Da lowered his head guiltyly, and said: "Men in the Mohe royal family also wear gold earrings since childhood."
Qian Da blushed with shame, Long Gui patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him: "Although you don't know much about the customs of the Mohe clan, you are meticulous and cautious, and you were present when Che Fei died, so this mission belongs to you." !"
Qian Da puffed out his chest, raised his head high, nodded vigorously, and replied: "This subordinate will never give up!"
After finishing speaking, he happily went to dig three feet to find Che Fei's body.
Long Gui clapped his hands hard twice, a servant ran in, knelt down and waited for orders.
"Go and invite the prince to come over for a small gathering, and say that the house is full of plum blossoms."
The boy took the order and went, while Long Gui was busy making arrangements—there were too many things to do.
After the prince arrived, he was led directly to the study room, met Long Gui and asked, "Sister Huang, why are the plum blossoms in your house blooming before it snows?"
Long Gui replied innocently: "There, I said there are no flowers blooming."
The prince couldn't stop laughing, and said with a smile: "Sister Huang just likes to joke, I thought you were going to invite me to enjoy exotic flowers at night."
"That's the mood, sometimes I really envy those who are unresponsive..." Long Gui said helplessly.
"Is there something on your mind?" The prince asked with concern.
"I'm fine, but I heard that General Feng is not in good health, do you want to visit him?"
"You mean that mighty general? He has been confiscated in the military for three or four years, and now he is waiting at home every day to die. What's so interesting about him?"
"Prince...brother." Long Guiyu said earnestly: "Don't say that, he was reactivated the other day? It doesn't take much effort for you to go and see him now, and you can please him again. If you go again when you are in power, I'm afraid people won't have time to talk to you."
The prince frowned and said, "I'm very busy..."
Long Gui rolled his eyes at him, and said seemingly unintentionally: "I also heard that his granddaughter looks different, and it's unforgettable for anyone who sees her."
"Why haven't I heard of it?" the prince wondered.
"An unmarried daughter is a treasure raised in a deep boudoir, so can you tell it casually and let others know?"
The prince's eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "The old general Fengtongling has guarded the frontier for the country for decades, and now he is enjoying his life. It is really a blessing for the country. I will visit him tomorrow morning!"
"Bring a treasured sword. It is said that his granddaughter likes it the most, but you have to say that it was given to the old general. Don't be rude."
"Look at what Sister Huang said, I didn't go there for his granddaughter! It's this precious sword..."
"Here." Long Gui took a knife from the wall and handed it over, "It happens that I have this one. It has been hanging for a long time, and it looks boring. You can give it to someone."
"You are really my dear imperial sister!" The prince hugged Longgui vigorously, put away the knife, and asked casually: "I heard that the imperial sister has recently adopted a new male favorite, why don't you ask me to come out to meet you?"
"What nonsense?" Long Gui said seriously, "Am I the kind of person who is immoral? She doesn't have that. She is usually ashamed to see people, and only hangs out in the back house."
The crown prince gave Long Gui a thumbs up, and praised: "My sister can still play."
Long Gui gave him a knowing smile.
(づ ̄3 ̄)づ
A few nights later, Long Gui was woken up in his sleep and went to meet Qian Da in the living room. Qian Da told her disappointedly: "Although the injuries look similar, I'm sure that the one buried in the grave is not Che Fei's." corpse, but where did Che Fei's real corpse go, I can't find it anyway."
Long Gui looked at Qian Da who was covered in dust, his fingernails were full of mud, and he still smelled of rotten meat, and asked, "You just came back from the cemetery, didn't you?"
"Of course!" Qian Da said seriously: "Such an urgent matter, of course, should be reported to the princess as soon as possible."
Long Gui nodded in satisfaction, walked quietly to the ventilated place by the window, and said to Qian Da: "You can't find Che Fei's body, because the body is no longer in the capital."
"Could it be a corpse change!" Che Fei turned pale with shock, "Do I need my subordinates to find a Taoist priest?"
"Yes." Long Gui said coldly, "You have to go to Mount Shu."
"Okay! This subordinate will never hesitate to die." Qian Da agreed, turned around and left, turned back when he reached the door, and asked, "Princess, please show me where is Shushan?"
"It's in your head." Long Gui said seriously, "Open your head and you'll see it."
"Uh..." Qian Da was speechless for a while, looking down at his toes silently.
"Are you afraid?" Long Gui sneered.
"I'm not afraid of death!" Qian Da said in a low voice: "I'm afraid that if I die, no one will tell the princess what is urgent."
Long Gui shook his head helplessly—loyalty and wisdom are always difficult to have at the same time.
"I suspect that Che Fei's body was smuggled to Gucheng in Li Xian's fur-buying convoy."
"Impossible, the box is so small, it can't fit in it at all!" Qian Da shook his head, expressing his incomprehension, and gestured with his hands about the size of the box—it was only one arm square.
"Chop it up and put it in." Long Gui said coldly.
"This... this is disrespectful." Qian Da was dumbfounded in surprise.
"This is disrespectful to the people of the Dragon Kingdom, but not necessarily to the Mohe tribe. Besides, isn't there a tailor? Just transport it and sew it up again. The detail of the sewing is not obvious at all. When your loved ones see the corpse, they must be heartbroken and busy collecting it, so why not take a closer look?" Long Gui sneered, "Even if you see it, you can push it to the murderer."
Qian Da opened his mouth in a daze for a moment before recovering his voice: "Who the hell is Che Fei? It's worth the prime minister's painstaking efforts."
"We will find out soon." Long Gui looked out of the window, passing through the tall hibiscus trees in the courtyard, passing through the capital city with numerous pavilions, towers and pavilions, passing through the prosperous rivers and mountains of Longguo, and arrived at In a desolate and cold land, there are ferocious Mohe people, who have endless blood feuds with every Dragon Kingdom person.
After Qian Da left, Long Gui returned to the bedroom and didn't feel like sleeping, thinking that he hadn't seen Ziluan for a few days, so he simply got up quietly, climbed over the low wall between the yards, and groped into Ziluan's bedroom.
☆, charm
Long Gui stood in front of the door and tried to push it with his hands. It was fastened well. After thinking for a while, he moved to the window, took out the knife in his boot, opened the fastening on the window little by little, and took out the knife from the treasure bag. The small oil tank poured some oil on the window shaft, and opened the window silently.
Under the cold moonlight, the interior layout could be seen faintly. I lit a special small fire book to check, and found that the letters I wrote were placed on the big desk near the window, neatly stacked together, and there were some papers beside it, Long Gui Reaching out to pick it up and take a closer look, each of them is a letter written by himself to Ziluan, but the ink is very new, it seems that he just wrote it.
After reading it a few times, Long Gui was full of joy, and put his hand on his cheek, thinking: Ziluan must have read the letter and felt my sincerity, so she couldn't help but copy it over and over again, it's so cute~
Looking up, there is a small pile on the bed far away, and the jet-black long hair is scattered on the pillow like a waterfall. It seems that Ziluan was very tired during the day and slept soundly.
Long Gui lay down in front of the window and looked at it for a while, worried whether Ziluan had lost weight or got hurt in the past few days, so he decided to take a closer look.After turning off the fire, he put his hands on the window sill and climbed onto the big desk in front of the window. Just about to jump to the ground, he suddenly found that the room was covered with thin wires in a criss-cross pattern under the hazy moonlight.
This can not trouble me!Long Gui was secretly proud - after all, the master who taught how to set traps also taught her.
I saw Long Gui raised his legs high and landed lightly, bridged the iron plate for a while, hopped on one foot for a while, and approached the bed without any danger.
Long Gui first took a deep breath to feel the smell of Ziluan: there was a faint pastoral taste, fresh, natural and unpretentious just like Ziluan's people.Then Long Gui held his breath, and slowly reached out to lift Ziluan's quilt. His fingers could barely touch Ziluan, and Ziluan turned over in his sleep, revealing a picture that is unforgettable to anyone who sees it—black eyebrows, mouth, etc. face-shaped head.
Long Guiman thought that he would see a sweet and peerless face in his sleep, but he didn't expect to see a briquette turning into a spirit, he took a step back in fright, and shouted: "Where is the evildoer!"
He took out a piece of paper from his pocket and pasted it on Ziluan's forehead.
A word awakened Zi Luan, and Zi Luan was quite surprised when she saw Long Gui. She tore off the note, picked up the pillow and threw it at Long Gui, shouting loudly: "Ghost~"
Panicked, Ziluan didn't have much strength and speed, but Long Gui didn't know what kind of weapon was thrown over him, so he didn't dare to reach out to catch it, so he had to dodge, so the porcelain pillow swept across the thin lines in the room, Finally, it fell to the ground with a bang.
Long Gui didn't panic, thinking that these wires were just connected with some bells for warning, but the voice of "Ball King" was very familiar.
However, Long Gui, who has experienced many battles, miscalculated this time. After those threads were pulled, there was no bell ringing. A whole body of white powder.
Long Gui hurriedly covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve, and asked in pain, "What have you done?"
Zi Luan, who was randomly searching for weapons on the bed, stopped when she heard the voice, and asked cautiously, "Sister Long?"
Sure enough, it was Ziluan. Long Gui looked at her with a sullen face, and suddenly covered his throat and bent down in pain, "I...I must be dying..."
After finishing speaking, Long Gui slowly collapsed on the ground, before he completely fell to the ground, he struggled to crawl to the bed, grabbed the edge of the bed, stretched out his right hand to Ziluan, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Did you lie to me?" What poison?"
Ziluan was stunned by Long Gui's appearance that he was about to die, and quickly realized that she bent down on the bed and hugged Long Gui and cried, "Sister Long, what's wrong with you? I didn't poison you. , it’s just ordinary flour, don’t scare me like this, okay?”
Long Gui was held tightly in Ziluan's arms, and he let out a long and comfortable sigh, pretending to be stiff all over, but in fact put all his weight on Ziluan's shoulders.
The maid who was watching the night outside heard the loud noise in Ziluan's bedroom, and called the guards to rush into Ziluan's small courtyard. A maid knocked on the door and asked, "Mr. Yan, what's wrong? ?”
Before Ziluan could speak, Long Guizao quickly covered her mouth with his hands and said coldly: "It's okay, it's a nightmare, let's go away."
The maid was familiar with Long Gui's voice, so she led the crowd away knowingly.
After everyone left, Long Gui reluctantly let go, and Zi Luan asked sullenly, "Sister Long, aren't you poisoned?"
"Oh!" Long Gui yelled in a low voice, turned over and rolled onto Ziluan's bed, "I was really poisoned, I was poisoned by you, and I can't move."
Zi Luan angrily ignored her, and lit the oil lamp by the bed, saw the window was open, and said strangely: "Why is the window open, I closed it before going to bed?"
"No, it was on when I came here. I was worried that you would catch a cold, so I kindly came in to cover you with the quilt, but you pretended to be a ghost to scare me."
Ziluan touched her face, and then realized what was going on, and said apologetically: "I have been practicing horseback riding and archery for the past few days, and my face was hurt by the sun, so my mother gave me some rose water for my face. Sister, do you want to try it too, the effect is very good."
"Hahaha!" Long Gui laughed loudly, "How dare I use that! If I were dressed in black and had a pretty face, I would be the first to be hacked to death no matter how many people I was with."
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested, Ziluan got up silently, washed her face, changed the water, soaked a towel, and handed it to Long Gui.
"Why?" Long Gui was puzzled.
"Is there ink rubbed on your face? You are dressed in white, and there are thick and thin ink marks on your face. I really thought I saw a ghost just now."
"Oh..." Long Gui hurriedly got up from the bed, took the towel and wiped his face clean, "I just came back from the study and I was writing paperwork."
Ziluan had been startled again and again, and she had lost sleep for a long time. She sat casually by the bed and waited for Long Gui to wash her face. She accidentally saw a piece of paper on the bed full of symbols—it was just that Long Gui had posted it in a hurry. on her head.
Ziluan picked up the piece of paper, looked at it carefully with the oil lamp, and slowly frowned.
After Long Gui wiped his face, he saw Ziluan staring at the paper non-stop, and asked suspiciously: "It's just a ghost drawing talisman, why are you looking so carefully? Could it be that you still recognize it?"
Ziluan didn't answer, but instead asked Long Gui: "Where did you get this piece of paper?"
Seeing that Ziluan became serious, Long Gui couldn't help but become serious as well, and replied: "The subordinate found it by accident. What's the matter? Is there any problem?"
That piece of paper was given to Long Gui by Qian Da just now, saying that it was dug out from the fake Che Fei's clothes. Considering that the clothes might belong to the real Che Fei, he handed them to Long Gui in an "urgent manner". Long Gui looked at it like a spell, and then thought that the corpse was fake, so he thought it was something like a ghost, and put it in his arms.
Ziluan looked at Long Gui's eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "These are written by the Mohe clan."
"Haha!" Long Gui couldn't help laughing, "It's just that group of barbarians who don't even have a piece of paper, and even words?"
Laughing a few times, seeing Ziluan's face was sombre and silent, she had to cough a few times and asked, "Then, what's written on it?"
"I don't know some characters, so I can only guess." Ziluan pointed to the "talents" on the paper and explained one by one: "The first word means 'king'..."
"Don't! Just tell me what you mean, and I can't remember it even if you tell me."
Ziluan pondered for a while, then said slowly: "It says: I have united with someone here, and I am waiting to cooperate with Wang Liying. Now I have found someone's trace, and I will definitely kill him..."
Long Guiteng sat up, stared at Ziluan, and asked, "Did you write about joining someone?"
Ziluan shook her head, "It's the name of the Mohe tribe, and I don't know it either. In fact, I guess some of them, and I can't be sure."
Long Gui rolled his eyes back and forth a few times and asked, "Then who else can understand this character?"
"The royal family of the Mohe clan."
"..." Long Gui squinted at Zi Luan, "Then how do you know each other?"
"My father has fought against the Mohe tribe for more than ten years, and raided their lair. Unfortunately, the people of the Mohe tribe ran too fast, and the Dragon Kingdom... In short, I got a few of their scriptures one after another. , and correspondence, I even guessed and knew a few words, and I have always been proud of it, but unfortunately I couldn’t tell others, so I had to teach me when I was in Surabaya City.”
☆, weather
"Your father is such a genius!" Long Gui praised: "If your father was here, there would be no need for Feng Tongling to go out to meet the enemy, after all he is so old."
Ziluan lowered her head and remained silent.
Long Gui continued: "It's a pity that the Dragon Kingdom has suppressed martial arts and promoted culture for so many years, and now there is no one available for a war. It's really a crime."
"Do we have to fight?" Ziluan felt lost.
"Who cares about him? Are you prepared for any danger? Those soldiers are also supported. Why don't you take them out to practice, don't just wait for nothing."
"But..." Ziluan said hesitantly, "If there is a war, many people will die."
"Hahaha~" Long Gui started laughing again, and after laughing for a long time, he put his arms around Ziluan's shoulder and said, "I just like your innocent appearance - it's not up to us to decide whether to fight or not."
Zi Luan blushed secretly, pondered for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "Then, who do you think is the person who is united?"
"Hmph!" Long Gui snorted coldly, "That's whoever is sad, it's just a few people, I'll kill them all if I get in a hurry, I'd rather miss it than let it go!"
Zi Luan turned her head to look at Long Gui in surprise, she looked very strange at this moment.
Fortunately, Long Gui quickly returned to his previous unruly appearance, yawned a lot, and lay down on Zi Luan's bed, muttering: "I'm so sleepy, I'm lazy, I'm here with you today sleep well."
Ziluan couldn't help but also yawned, looked at the porcelain pillow that had been sacrificed in the center of the ground, and said helplessly: "But, there are no pillows left."
"It's okay." Long Gui said indifferently, "It's not uncommon for me to not have a pillow to use."
"But I..."
"I'll lend you my arm." After speaking, Long Gui stretched out his hand and pulled Ziluan, letting her rest on his uninjured arm. "
Before Zi Luan could refuse, Long Gui had already extinguished the oil lamp with a flick of a finger.
For a moment, the surroundings were plunged into darkness, Ziluan felt very frightened by the sudden blindness, and she had never slept with anyone before, so her whole body was stiff for a moment, she dared not move, and almost held her breath.
Long Gui chuckled a few times, in order to let her relax, he chatted casually: "Hey, I had to practice court etiquette all day a few days ago, and I knelt and knelt, and my knees were blistered."
"Oh, it's been so hard!" Zi Luan turned over to sit up, but was held down by Long Gui's shoulders, and asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"
"Let me see how your knee is hurting."
"It's not me kneeling!"
"..." Ziluan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and asked, "Didn't you say you were practicing?"
"Yes!" Long Gui said confidently, "I don't know what is the standard, so I have to ask them to demonstrate to me non-stop!"
Zi Luan couldn't stop laughing, Long Gui patted her arm and persuaded: "Go to sleep, I plan to entertain the court officials at the mansion tomorrow, please be obedient and don't run around in the backyard."
"En." Ziluan agreed, closing her eyes and not moving.Because the eyes can't see, other senses are more sensitive. Hearing the constant buzzing of insects outside the window, Zi Luan didn't feel sleepy. He opened his eyes and turned his head to look over. He saw the moonlight shining obliquely on the ground from the unclosed window, and the ground was covered with snow-white .
Zi Luan heard Long Gui's breathing gradually getting deeper beside him, thinking that he was already fast asleep.He also felt that the arm under his head was hard and thick, so he involuntarily raised his own arm to take a closer look—the thin one was not enough to grasp.
"Is learning martial arts the right direction for me to become stronger?" Ziluan thought over and over, and finally fell asleep in deep self-doubt. When she woke up in the morning, Long Gui had already left.
Zi Luan arrived at the martial arts training ground after getting ready, but found that the teacher who must have arrived early on weekdays had not yet arrived.
Seeing Ziluan, the young servant waiting in the teaching ground stepped forward and told: "Master Yan, the princess specially asked me to send a message: Today the princess is going to have a banquet with important officials of the court, so all the masters are transferred to the front to guard, and please invite Mr. Yan himself Practice hard and don't let up."
Ziluan smiled slightly, and after a promise, she began to practice by herself.According to the usual procedure, I ride horses in the morning, practice various equestrian skills, and practice archery in the afternoon.
The teaching martial arts field is quiet and orderly, and there is no noise in the front yard at all, and it is afternoon in a blink of an eye.
After shooting the target with the bow, Zi Luan looked down at her hands, the blood blisters on her hands had already turned into thin calluses—although it was very slow, she was getting stronger after all.
Ziluan drew another arrow and put it on the bow, and steadily drew the bow to aim at the target.The iron bow was slowly opened, the iron strings made a slight creaking sound, and the iron arrowhead refracted the sun's rays, making it very dazzling.Ziluan silently recalled the main points taught by the teacher, let her mind go, and listened attentively to the subtle movements of the plants and trees around her.
Maybe it was because the front yard was too busy. At this time, there was not a single servant in the teaching martial arts field, and it was extremely empty, so the sound of footsteps quietly approaching behind Ziluan was particularly abrupt.
Suddenly, Ziluan turned around quickly, pointing the arrow point directly between the eyebrows of the visitor.
The man was so frightened that his legs softened and he sat on the ground. He touched his head to the ground and shouted: "Princess, please forgive me. I have admired you for a long time, so I took the liberty to come here to have a glimpse of the sky."
"It's you?" Ziluan moved the tip of the arrow down to the foot of the visitor.
When the visitor heard that the other party recognized him, he boldly raised his head slowly, and it turned out to be Chen Xiaotong.
"It's you!" Chen Xiaotong said in surprise, then looked around and asked, "Where did the princess go?"
With bitterness in her heart, Ziluan replied indifferently: "I don't know, but this is the inner courtyard, it is not suitable for you to be here, please leave quickly."
"Oh, the princess is not here, then the prime minister must have made a mistake." Chen Xiaotong stood up as if nothing had happened, flicked the ashes on his trousers with his fingers, and complained in his mouth: "Really, it took so much trouble. Zhou Zhang turned out to be an oolong."
Chen Xiaotong shook his head again and said: "It's really time, luck, and fate!"
Ziluan never imagined that there would be such a cheeky person in this world, who would act so nonchalantly after betraying his friend, raised the tip of the arrow again angrily, and cursed: "Bastard! If you don't leave, I'll shoot you to death!"
"Don't, don't, don't!" Chen Xiaotong waved his hands at Ziluan again and again, his face turned pale with fright, he didn't even dare to turn around, and walked backwards, when he was almost at the door, he couldn't help asking: "What are you doing?" What about practicing bows and arrows? The skin on your hands is rough, and it will feel much worse to the touch."
"Dang~" Ziluan nailed the corner of Chen Xiaotong's robe to the ground with an arrow, and he was so frightened that he backed away, unable to break free for a while, so he fell to the ground again, seeing that Ziluan didn't shoot himself with an arrow, Chen Xiaotong Xiao Tong became more courageous, sat on the ground and continued to complain.
"Hey!" Chen Xiaotong said dissatisfiedly: "Although the princess favors you now, you can't let go of the old love like this? If I hadn't told the princess about your whereabouts at that time, how would you be today? By the emperor Send someone to kill it!"
"The emperor wants to kill me?" Zi Luan asked coldly.
"Of course, everyone knows that the emperor is dissatisfied with you." Chen Xiaotong said sternly, "You must pay attention to the marriage, let alone the royal family? How can the emperor marry the princess to a poor boy with no background at all? ? It's still so... special."
Seeing that Ziluan was silent, Chen Xiaotong continued to sit on the ground and said: "You and I have a deep friendship. If you help me marry the princess, then we should cooperate internally and externally. I am not afraid that the princess will run out of our palms!"
"Shut up!" Ziluan became angrier the more she listened, and scolded: "The princess is a fairy-like figure, how could you be the one who deserves it?"
"Aren't I better than you? I'm not worthy, so are you worthy?" Chen Xiaotong also became angry and shouted loudly.
Ziluan was furious, and with his backhand he drew another arrow and put it on the bow, pulling the string and shooting the arrow without saying a word.
The arrow whizzed towards Chen Xiaotong's head, closing Chen Xiaotong's eyes in fright, and shouted: "Mother~"
☆, escape
The arrow flew past Chen Xiaotong's scalp with a whizzing sound, and firmly nailed the jade crown on his head to the door.Chen Xiaotong was so frightened that he couldn't pull out the arrow with his backhand, so he untied his hair crown and crawled out with his hair loose.
Ziluan stared at the back of Chen Xiaotong fleeing in embarrassment, holding the iron bow tightly in her hand, her chest heaved violently. Just now, she really wanted to kill someone, but in the end she moved the tip of the arrow up so much because of her old love. One inch, after all, there are only a few people in this world who treat themselves well and are still alive.
Ziluan was sulking for a while, then after thinking about it, she felt vaguely uneasy, and quickly left the martial arts field to find her adoptive father and adoptive mother.
Mei Gu was sitting in the room sewing a small piece of clothing, Yan Qixia stood aside and fanned her.Seeing Zi Luan rushing in, Mei Gu asked in surprise: "My child, what happened?"
"Mother, father, just now when Chen Xiaotong broke into the teaching martial arts field and saw me, I feel that it is inappropriate to continue to stay here, or should we leave and avoid it?"
Mei Gu threw the things in her hand on the table and said, "Hurry up, I'm tired of staying here, being watched all day, I'm so bored."
Yan Qixia hesitated and said: "But Tian Canzi said that we should not travel far recently, it is best not to go out..."
"Listen to that magic stick farting! He also said that we have no children in our lives. Isn't our child standing in front of us?"
One sentence hit Yan Qixia's sore spot, so he had no choice but to give in, standing in the room and looking around, muttering reluctantly: "Oh, if you want to leave, you can't take these bigger things, so which one should you take?"
"Look at how stingy you are!" Aunt Mei disdainfully said, "If you want to leave, just go, baby, let's go first and ignore him!"
"This..." Ziluan hurriedly shook her hands, "I also want to tell the princess, I have been taken care of by her for many days, if I want to leave, at least leave a note to explain."
"Hey, look at your mother-in-law and mother, it's not straightforward at all!" Meigu gave Yan Qixia a dissatisfied look, Yan Qixia pretended not to see, and repeatedly rubbed Yu Ruyi with her hand, reluctant to let it go.
"Forget it, I'll go to the door to watch first, and if something goes wrong, I'll send you a signal, and we'll split up, and we'll meet later." Mei Gu said helplessly.
So the three of them split up.Ziluan first went to the martial arts field to pick out the weapons at hand. Although the iron bow was good, it was hard to get arrows, so she had to give up.In the end, Ziluan chose a pair of mandarin duck swords, but felt that the two swords were too heavy, so she had to discard the male sword and only took the female sword, wrapping it in a rag and carrying it on her back.
Back in the bedroom, Ziluan wrote a short message on the desk, stating that she would leave without saying goodbye.After thinking about it, I wrote another letter and took it with me just in case.
Ziluan tied her breasts, changed into ordinary men's clothing, packed up and went to find Yan Qixia, Yan Qixia had packed a big package, but she was still lingering in front of Baibaoge to choose.
Ziluan was taken aback when she saw the huge package, and said, "Father, it's not good for you to take it without telling me..."
"Tch!" Yan Qixia glanced at Ziluan contemptuously, "Why didn't you say it was bad when you spent my money before? Do you think my money is blown by the wind?"
Ziluan stopped talking for a while, Yan Qixia saw her expression was unacceptable, so she had to put back the golden Buddha in her hand, and said: "Okay, okay, I just hold it for admiration, the things in the bag are all given by the princess these days." Give it to me, she doesn't lack such little gadgets!"
After finishing speaking, Yan Qixia carried the big bag on her back, walked out with her head upright, and Ziluan had no choice but to follow behind.
But they walked around the backyard, but they didn't see Meigu, so Yan Qixia had to lead Ziluan to wait in front of the moon gate between the front and back yards, but they couldn't see anyone.
"Where did everyone go? Not even a garbage collector." Yan Qixia was inexplicably irritable, and kicked a greased paper bag on the ground.
The oiled paper package rolled out for a long distance, and the rolled paper package loosened, revealing a section of the stuff inside.
Yan Qixia glanced at it casually, and suddenly pounced on it, picking up the piece with trembling hands—it was a little finger, the blood was still wet on the section, obviously it had just been cut off.
Yan Qixia clenched the amputated finger tightly, looked around in a panic, and Ziluan hurried forward and asked, "Father, what's wrong with you?"
"Quick!" Yan Qixia was incoherent in a hurry, "Look for it!"
"What are you looking for?" Ziluan didn't see clearly what was in the paper bag.
Yan Qixia hurriedly spun around on the spot, but couldn't speak. In the end, Ziluan guessed what he meant, and pointed to the wall far away, "There is a similar oil paper bag over there."
Yan Qixia put the severed finger into her bosom, ran to the corner, picked up the greased paper bag and opened it, there was indeed a severed finger inside.
Yan Qixia didn't say any more, she got up and jumped up, intending to jump over the wall, but in panic, with a heavy bag on her back, she didn't jump over, and fell heavily under the wall.
Yan Qixia quickly unloaded the burden on her back, threw it on the ground, and jumped up again with concentration.
Ziluan didn't know what happened, but she had an intuition that there was something terrible inside the oiled paper bag, so she followed Yan Qixia and jumped out of the wall.
Outside the wall is another courtyard of the Princess Mansion, which is empty and unoccupied. Soon, Yan Qixia found another oiled paper package under the corner of a wall. This time, Ziluan saw the severed finger inside the paper package. Qixia put away her severed finger and was about to jump over the wall, she quickly grabbed his arm and persuaded: "Father! You must think twice, don't catch yourself!"
"..." Long Gui frowned slightly, "Okay, be careful not to fall asleep in the bathtub, I'm leaving."
After speaking, she turned and left, and turned around suddenly when she reached the door, and Ziluan, who was frightened, untied the belt of her clothes and quickly covered her clothes again.
"Remember to add hot water in time, don't catch cold." Long Gui reminded again, seeing Ziluan nodding repeatedly, he opened the door and went out.
Long Gui walked back to his bedroom with a sullen face, asked the maids to light all the candles, then waved away all the maids, undressed and stood in front of the full-length bronze mirror.
The newly polished copper mirror is shining brightly, clearly reflecting a young body with many scars, one next to the other, protruding and twisting like reptiles, the whole person looks like a puppet spliced together in small steps .
Long Gui turned around halfway to look at the recent scar on his right shoulder blade, where the new scab had not fallen off, it was as big as a teacup, and was uneven.
"It's really ugly..." Long Gui sighed, feeling sorry for his body for the first time.
There was a light knocking sound on the window, Long Gui's expression turned serious, he reached out to pick up his clothes, put them on, walked to the window, and opened the window.
The man in black outside the window caught a glimpse of Long Gui's disheveled clothes. He quickly knelt down, lowered his head, and held up an unsigned envelope in his hand.
Long Gui generously took the envelope, opened the wax, took a quick look at the letter inside, sneered, lit it, threw it into the brazier, wrote a few lines with a pen, sealed it and handed it to the kneeling outside Man in black.
The man in black left quietly without disturbing anyone else.
Long Gui wrote in the letter: Although the pulse condition cannot be seen, is it true that Concubine Ning is not pregnant with a mortal fetus?Let her rest in bed for a few days. "
☆, question
The next day, Long Gui finished dealing with all the big and small things, walked to Ziluan's residence, reached out to push the door, but found that the door was tied.
Long Gui stood at the door suspiciously, then heard the sound of splashing water coming from the room, hesitated for a moment, turned and left.
On the evening of the third day, Long Gui came back from the palace and kept checking the time. Seeing that it was time for dinner, he simply put aside all the things at hand and got up to leave, but was stopped by Qian Da at the door.
"Princess, please stay! I have a very urgent matter to report!"
Long Gui looked at him coldly, and saw that he had the aura of killing him if he didn't tell him, so he turned around and went back to sit down, "Speak."
Qian Da reported: "Yesterday, Li Xian's Prime Minister's Mansion sent a buying group to Hengcheng to buy furs with several large boxes of gold and silver. They were afraid of being robbed on the way, so they accompanied a lot of expert guards to escort them."
Long Gui stood up, approached Qian Da, and asked, "Are you sure they are going to buy fur?"
"I think it's very suspicious! But the size of the box is indeed a silver box. There is also a famous tailor accompanying him. However, because of the strict guards, he sent people to test him several times, but he couldn't get close."
Long Gui walked back and forth a few times, then walked quickly to the desk, pulled out a map of the Dragon Kingdom and spread it out, and slid his finger along the official road from the capital to Hengcheng. The lines are criss-crossed, and every inch and inch is soaked with blood and tears.
Long Gui quietly put away the map, took out a piece of letter paper, brushed it with a brush, and wrote several pages of letters, corrected and corrected, and finally copied it carefully. After writing, he carefully dried it, folded it, put it in the Envelope, hesitating for a moment, walked to the door under Qian Da's expectant eyes, handed the letter to the maid waiting at the door, and ordered: "Send the letter to Mr. Yan, just say that I will be busy for a while, these few days Don't go with her anymore."
The maid responded, took the envelope and left.
Long Gui turned around and saw Qian Da drooping his head in frustration, stood up and wanted to leave, and wondered, "You want to leave?"
"Isn't there nothing wrong?" Qian Da muttered.
"Why are you all right? I'm going to assign you a job that others can't do: go to check on Che Fei's body, make sure to check it out, pry the coffin if you have one, and dig the grave if you have one. Do you remember what Che Fei looks like?" Does it look like it?"
Qian Da replied: "Che Fei is seven feet one inch tall, the skin on his face was damaged, his right wrist was dislocated, and his arm bone was broken, so he should have suffered serious injuries."
Long Gui nodded, and added: "And his ears are pierced. When you check, don't be negligent."
Qian was taken aback: "Why does he have pierced ears? Could it be that he is a woman disguised as a man?"
Long Gui stared at Qian Da and said nothing, until Qian Da lowered his head guiltyly, and said: "Men in the Mohe royal family also wear gold earrings since childhood."
Qian Da blushed with shame, Long Gui patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him: "Although you don't know much about the customs of the Mohe clan, you are meticulous and cautious, and you were present when Che Fei died, so this mission belongs to you." !"
Qian Da puffed out his chest, raised his head high, nodded vigorously, and replied: "This subordinate will never give up!"
After finishing speaking, he happily went to dig three feet to find Che Fei's body.
Long Gui clapped his hands hard twice, a servant ran in, knelt down and waited for orders.
"Go and invite the prince to come over for a small gathering, and say that the house is full of plum blossoms."
The boy took the order and went, while Long Gui was busy making arrangements—there were too many things to do.
After the prince arrived, he was led directly to the study room, met Long Gui and asked, "Sister Huang, why are the plum blossoms in your house blooming before it snows?"
Long Gui replied innocently: "There, I said there are no flowers blooming."
The prince couldn't stop laughing, and said with a smile: "Sister Huang just likes to joke, I thought you were going to invite me to enjoy exotic flowers at night."
"That's the mood, sometimes I really envy those who are unresponsive..." Long Gui said helplessly.
"Is there something on your mind?" The prince asked with concern.
"I'm fine, but I heard that General Feng is not in good health, do you want to visit him?"
"You mean that mighty general? He has been confiscated in the military for three or four years, and now he is waiting at home every day to die. What's so interesting about him?"
"Prince...brother." Long Guiyu said earnestly: "Don't say that, he was reactivated the other day? It doesn't take much effort for you to go and see him now, and you can please him again. If you go again when you are in power, I'm afraid people won't have time to talk to you."
The prince frowned and said, "I'm very busy..."
Long Gui rolled his eyes at him, and said seemingly unintentionally: "I also heard that his granddaughter looks different, and it's unforgettable for anyone who sees her."
"Why haven't I heard of it?" the prince wondered.
"An unmarried daughter is a treasure raised in a deep boudoir, so can you tell it casually and let others know?"
The prince's eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "The old general Fengtongling has guarded the frontier for the country for decades, and now he is enjoying his life. It is really a blessing for the country. I will visit him tomorrow morning!"
"Bring a treasured sword. It is said that his granddaughter likes it the most, but you have to say that it was given to the old general. Don't be rude."
"Look at what Sister Huang said, I didn't go there for his granddaughter! It's this precious sword..."
"Here." Long Gui took a knife from the wall and handed it over, "It happens that I have this one. It has been hanging for a long time, and it looks boring. You can give it to someone."
"You are really my dear imperial sister!" The prince hugged Longgui vigorously, put away the knife, and asked casually: "I heard that the imperial sister has recently adopted a new male favorite, why don't you ask me to come out to meet you?"
"What nonsense?" Long Gui said seriously, "Am I the kind of person who is immoral? She doesn't have that. She is usually ashamed to see people, and only hangs out in the back house."
The crown prince gave Long Gui a thumbs up, and praised: "My sister can still play."
Long Gui gave him a knowing smile.
(づ ̄3 ̄)づ
A few nights later, Long Gui was woken up in his sleep and went to meet Qian Da in the living room. Qian Da told her disappointedly: "Although the injuries look similar, I'm sure that the one buried in the grave is not Che Fei's." corpse, but where did Che Fei's real corpse go, I can't find it anyway."
Long Gui looked at Qian Da who was covered in dust, his fingernails were full of mud, and he still smelled of rotten meat, and asked, "You just came back from the cemetery, didn't you?"
"Of course!" Qian Da said seriously: "Such an urgent matter, of course, should be reported to the princess as soon as possible."
Long Gui nodded in satisfaction, walked quietly to the ventilated place by the window, and said to Qian Da: "You can't find Che Fei's body, because the body is no longer in the capital."
"Could it be a corpse change!" Che Fei turned pale with shock, "Do I need my subordinates to find a Taoist priest?"
"Yes." Long Gui said coldly, "You have to go to Mount Shu."
"Okay! This subordinate will never hesitate to die." Qian Da agreed, turned around and left, turned back when he reached the door, and asked, "Princess, please show me where is Shushan?"
"It's in your head." Long Gui said seriously, "Open your head and you'll see it."
"Uh..." Qian Da was speechless for a while, looking down at his toes silently.
"Are you afraid?" Long Gui sneered.
"I'm not afraid of death!" Qian Da said in a low voice: "I'm afraid that if I die, no one will tell the princess what is urgent."
Long Gui shook his head helplessly—loyalty and wisdom are always difficult to have at the same time.
"I suspect that Che Fei's body was smuggled to Gucheng in Li Xian's fur-buying convoy."
"Impossible, the box is so small, it can't fit in it at all!" Qian Da shook his head, expressing his incomprehension, and gestured with his hands about the size of the box—it was only one arm square.
"Chop it up and put it in." Long Gui said coldly.
"This... this is disrespectful." Qian Da was dumbfounded in surprise.
"This is disrespectful to the people of the Dragon Kingdom, but not necessarily to the Mohe tribe. Besides, isn't there a tailor? Just transport it and sew it up again. The detail of the sewing is not obvious at all. When your loved ones see the corpse, they must be heartbroken and busy collecting it, so why not take a closer look?" Long Gui sneered, "Even if you see it, you can push it to the murderer."
Qian Da opened his mouth in a daze for a moment before recovering his voice: "Who the hell is Che Fei? It's worth the prime minister's painstaking efforts."
"We will find out soon." Long Gui looked out of the window, passing through the tall hibiscus trees in the courtyard, passing through the capital city with numerous pavilions, towers and pavilions, passing through the prosperous rivers and mountains of Longguo, and arrived at In a desolate and cold land, there are ferocious Mohe people, who have endless blood feuds with every Dragon Kingdom person.
After Qian Da left, Long Gui returned to the bedroom and didn't feel like sleeping, thinking that he hadn't seen Ziluan for a few days, so he simply got up quietly, climbed over the low wall between the yards, and groped into Ziluan's bedroom.
☆, charm
Long Gui stood in front of the door and tried to push it with his hands. It was fastened well. After thinking for a while, he moved to the window, took out the knife in his boot, opened the fastening on the window little by little, and took out the knife from the treasure bag. The small oil tank poured some oil on the window shaft, and opened the window silently.
Under the cold moonlight, the interior layout could be seen faintly. I lit a special small fire book to check, and found that the letters I wrote were placed on the big desk near the window, neatly stacked together, and there were some papers beside it, Long Gui Reaching out to pick it up and take a closer look, each of them is a letter written by himself to Ziluan, but the ink is very new, it seems that he just wrote it.
After reading it a few times, Long Gui was full of joy, and put his hand on his cheek, thinking: Ziluan must have read the letter and felt my sincerity, so she couldn't help but copy it over and over again, it's so cute~
Looking up, there is a small pile on the bed far away, and the jet-black long hair is scattered on the pillow like a waterfall. It seems that Ziluan was very tired during the day and slept soundly.
Long Gui lay down in front of the window and looked at it for a while, worried whether Ziluan had lost weight or got hurt in the past few days, so he decided to take a closer look.After turning off the fire, he put his hands on the window sill and climbed onto the big desk in front of the window. Just about to jump to the ground, he suddenly found that the room was covered with thin wires in a criss-cross pattern under the hazy moonlight.
This can not trouble me!Long Gui was secretly proud - after all, the master who taught how to set traps also taught her.
I saw Long Gui raised his legs high and landed lightly, bridged the iron plate for a while, hopped on one foot for a while, and approached the bed without any danger.
Long Gui first took a deep breath to feel the smell of Ziluan: there was a faint pastoral taste, fresh, natural and unpretentious just like Ziluan's people.Then Long Gui held his breath, and slowly reached out to lift Ziluan's quilt. His fingers could barely touch Ziluan, and Ziluan turned over in his sleep, revealing a picture that is unforgettable to anyone who sees it—black eyebrows, mouth, etc. face-shaped head.
Long Guiman thought that he would see a sweet and peerless face in his sleep, but he didn't expect to see a briquette turning into a spirit, he took a step back in fright, and shouted: "Where is the evildoer!"
He took out a piece of paper from his pocket and pasted it on Ziluan's forehead.
A word awakened Zi Luan, and Zi Luan was quite surprised when she saw Long Gui. She tore off the note, picked up the pillow and threw it at Long Gui, shouting loudly: "Ghost~"
Panicked, Ziluan didn't have much strength and speed, but Long Gui didn't know what kind of weapon was thrown over him, so he didn't dare to reach out to catch it, so he had to dodge, so the porcelain pillow swept across the thin lines in the room, Finally, it fell to the ground with a bang.
Long Gui didn't panic, thinking that these wires were just connected with some bells for warning, but the voice of "Ball King" was very familiar.
However, Long Gui, who has experienced many battles, miscalculated this time. After those threads were pulled, there was no bell ringing. A whole body of white powder.
Long Gui hurriedly covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve, and asked in pain, "What have you done?"
Zi Luan, who was randomly searching for weapons on the bed, stopped when she heard the voice, and asked cautiously, "Sister Long?"
Sure enough, it was Ziluan. Long Gui looked at her with a sullen face, and suddenly covered his throat and bent down in pain, "I...I must be dying..."
After finishing speaking, Long Gui slowly collapsed on the ground, before he completely fell to the ground, he struggled to crawl to the bed, grabbed the edge of the bed, stretched out his right hand to Ziluan, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Did you lie to me?" What poison?"
Ziluan was stunned by Long Gui's appearance that he was about to die, and quickly realized that she bent down on the bed and hugged Long Gui and cried, "Sister Long, what's wrong with you? I didn't poison you. , it’s just ordinary flour, don’t scare me like this, okay?”
Long Gui was held tightly in Ziluan's arms, and he let out a long and comfortable sigh, pretending to be stiff all over, but in fact put all his weight on Ziluan's shoulders.
The maid who was watching the night outside heard the loud noise in Ziluan's bedroom, and called the guards to rush into Ziluan's small courtyard. A maid knocked on the door and asked, "Mr. Yan, what's wrong? ?”
Before Ziluan could speak, Long Guizao quickly covered her mouth with his hands and said coldly: "It's okay, it's a nightmare, let's go away."
The maid was familiar with Long Gui's voice, so she led the crowd away knowingly.
After everyone left, Long Gui reluctantly let go, and Zi Luan asked sullenly, "Sister Long, aren't you poisoned?"
"Oh!" Long Gui yelled in a low voice, turned over and rolled onto Ziluan's bed, "I was really poisoned, I was poisoned by you, and I can't move."
Zi Luan angrily ignored her, and lit the oil lamp by the bed, saw the window was open, and said strangely: "Why is the window open, I closed it before going to bed?"
"No, it was on when I came here. I was worried that you would catch a cold, so I kindly came in to cover you with the quilt, but you pretended to be a ghost to scare me."
Ziluan touched her face, and then realized what was going on, and said apologetically: "I have been practicing horseback riding and archery for the past few days, and my face was hurt by the sun, so my mother gave me some rose water for my face. Sister, do you want to try it too, the effect is very good."
"Hahaha!" Long Gui laughed loudly, "How dare I use that! If I were dressed in black and had a pretty face, I would be the first to be hacked to death no matter how many people I was with."
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested, Ziluan got up silently, washed her face, changed the water, soaked a towel, and handed it to Long Gui.
"Why?" Long Gui was puzzled.
"Is there ink rubbed on your face? You are dressed in white, and there are thick and thin ink marks on your face. I really thought I saw a ghost just now."
"Oh..." Long Gui hurriedly got up from the bed, took the towel and wiped his face clean, "I just came back from the study and I was writing paperwork."
Ziluan had been startled again and again, and she had lost sleep for a long time. She sat casually by the bed and waited for Long Gui to wash her face. She accidentally saw a piece of paper on the bed full of symbols—it was just that Long Gui had posted it in a hurry. on her head.
Ziluan picked up the piece of paper, looked at it carefully with the oil lamp, and slowly frowned.
After Long Gui wiped his face, he saw Ziluan staring at the paper non-stop, and asked suspiciously: "It's just a ghost drawing talisman, why are you looking so carefully? Could it be that you still recognize it?"
Ziluan didn't answer, but instead asked Long Gui: "Where did you get this piece of paper?"
Seeing that Ziluan became serious, Long Gui couldn't help but become serious as well, and replied: "The subordinate found it by accident. What's the matter? Is there any problem?"
That piece of paper was given to Long Gui by Qian Da just now, saying that it was dug out from the fake Che Fei's clothes. Considering that the clothes might belong to the real Che Fei, he handed them to Long Gui in an "urgent manner". Long Gui looked at it like a spell, and then thought that the corpse was fake, so he thought it was something like a ghost, and put it in his arms.
Ziluan looked at Long Gui's eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "These are written by the Mohe clan."
"Haha!" Long Gui couldn't help laughing, "It's just that group of barbarians who don't even have a piece of paper, and even words?"
Laughing a few times, seeing Ziluan's face was sombre and silent, she had to cough a few times and asked, "Then, what's written on it?"
"I don't know some characters, so I can only guess." Ziluan pointed to the "talents" on the paper and explained one by one: "The first word means 'king'..."
"Don't! Just tell me what you mean, and I can't remember it even if you tell me."
Ziluan pondered for a while, then said slowly: "It says: I have united with someone here, and I am waiting to cooperate with Wang Liying. Now I have found someone's trace, and I will definitely kill him..."
Long Guiteng sat up, stared at Ziluan, and asked, "Did you write about joining someone?"
Ziluan shook her head, "It's the name of the Mohe tribe, and I don't know it either. In fact, I guess some of them, and I can't be sure."
Long Gui rolled his eyes back and forth a few times and asked, "Then who else can understand this character?"
"The royal family of the Mohe clan."
"..." Long Gui squinted at Zi Luan, "Then how do you know each other?"
"My father has fought against the Mohe tribe for more than ten years, and raided their lair. Unfortunately, the people of the Mohe tribe ran too fast, and the Dragon Kingdom... In short, I got a few of their scriptures one after another. , and correspondence, I even guessed and knew a few words, and I have always been proud of it, but unfortunately I couldn’t tell others, so I had to teach me when I was in Surabaya City.”
☆, weather
"Your father is such a genius!" Long Gui praised: "If your father was here, there would be no need for Feng Tongling to go out to meet the enemy, after all he is so old."
Ziluan lowered her head and remained silent.
Long Gui continued: "It's a pity that the Dragon Kingdom has suppressed martial arts and promoted culture for so many years, and now there is no one available for a war. It's really a crime."
"Do we have to fight?" Ziluan felt lost.
"Who cares about him? Are you prepared for any danger? Those soldiers are also supported. Why don't you take them out to practice, don't just wait for nothing."
"But..." Ziluan said hesitantly, "If there is a war, many people will die."
"Hahaha~" Long Gui started laughing again, and after laughing for a long time, he put his arms around Ziluan's shoulder and said, "I just like your innocent appearance - it's not up to us to decide whether to fight or not."
Zi Luan blushed secretly, pondered for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "Then, who do you think is the person who is united?"
"Hmph!" Long Gui snorted coldly, "That's whoever is sad, it's just a few people, I'll kill them all if I get in a hurry, I'd rather miss it than let it go!"
Zi Luan turned her head to look at Long Gui in surprise, she looked very strange at this moment.
Fortunately, Long Gui quickly returned to his previous unruly appearance, yawned a lot, and lay down on Zi Luan's bed, muttering: "I'm so sleepy, I'm lazy, I'm here with you today sleep well."
Ziluan couldn't help but also yawned, looked at the porcelain pillow that had been sacrificed in the center of the ground, and said helplessly: "But, there are no pillows left."
"It's okay." Long Gui said indifferently, "It's not uncommon for me to not have a pillow to use."
"But I..."
"I'll lend you my arm." After speaking, Long Gui stretched out his hand and pulled Ziluan, letting her rest on his uninjured arm. "
Before Zi Luan could refuse, Long Gui had already extinguished the oil lamp with a flick of a finger.
For a moment, the surroundings were plunged into darkness, Ziluan felt very frightened by the sudden blindness, and she had never slept with anyone before, so her whole body was stiff for a moment, she dared not move, and almost held her breath.
Long Gui chuckled a few times, in order to let her relax, he chatted casually: "Hey, I had to practice court etiquette all day a few days ago, and I knelt and knelt, and my knees were blistered."
"Oh, it's been so hard!" Zi Luan turned over to sit up, but was held down by Long Gui's shoulders, and asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"
"Let me see how your knee is hurting."
"It's not me kneeling!"
"..." Ziluan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and asked, "Didn't you say you were practicing?"
"Yes!" Long Gui said confidently, "I don't know what is the standard, so I have to ask them to demonstrate to me non-stop!"
Zi Luan couldn't stop laughing, Long Gui patted her arm and persuaded: "Go to sleep, I plan to entertain the court officials at the mansion tomorrow, please be obedient and don't run around in the backyard."
"En." Ziluan agreed, closing her eyes and not moving.Because the eyes can't see, other senses are more sensitive. Hearing the constant buzzing of insects outside the window, Zi Luan didn't feel sleepy. He opened his eyes and turned his head to look over. He saw the moonlight shining obliquely on the ground from the unclosed window, and the ground was covered with snow-white .
Zi Luan heard Long Gui's breathing gradually getting deeper beside him, thinking that he was already fast asleep.He also felt that the arm under his head was hard and thick, so he involuntarily raised his own arm to take a closer look—the thin one was not enough to grasp.
"Is learning martial arts the right direction for me to become stronger?" Ziluan thought over and over, and finally fell asleep in deep self-doubt. When she woke up in the morning, Long Gui had already left.
Zi Luan arrived at the martial arts training ground after getting ready, but found that the teacher who must have arrived early on weekdays had not yet arrived.
Seeing Ziluan, the young servant waiting in the teaching ground stepped forward and told: "Master Yan, the princess specially asked me to send a message: Today the princess is going to have a banquet with important officials of the court, so all the masters are transferred to the front to guard, and please invite Mr. Yan himself Practice hard and don't let up."
Ziluan smiled slightly, and after a promise, she began to practice by herself.According to the usual procedure, I ride horses in the morning, practice various equestrian skills, and practice archery in the afternoon.
The teaching martial arts field is quiet and orderly, and there is no noise in the front yard at all, and it is afternoon in a blink of an eye.
After shooting the target with the bow, Zi Luan looked down at her hands, the blood blisters on her hands had already turned into thin calluses—although it was very slow, she was getting stronger after all.
Ziluan drew another arrow and put it on the bow, and steadily drew the bow to aim at the target.The iron bow was slowly opened, the iron strings made a slight creaking sound, and the iron arrowhead refracted the sun's rays, making it very dazzling.Ziluan silently recalled the main points taught by the teacher, let her mind go, and listened attentively to the subtle movements of the plants and trees around her.
Maybe it was because the front yard was too busy. At this time, there was not a single servant in the teaching martial arts field, and it was extremely empty, so the sound of footsteps quietly approaching behind Ziluan was particularly abrupt.
Suddenly, Ziluan turned around quickly, pointing the arrow point directly between the eyebrows of the visitor.
The man was so frightened that his legs softened and he sat on the ground. He touched his head to the ground and shouted: "Princess, please forgive me. I have admired you for a long time, so I took the liberty to come here to have a glimpse of the sky."
"It's you?" Ziluan moved the tip of the arrow down to the foot of the visitor.
When the visitor heard that the other party recognized him, he boldly raised his head slowly, and it turned out to be Chen Xiaotong.
"It's you!" Chen Xiaotong said in surprise, then looked around and asked, "Where did the princess go?"
With bitterness in her heart, Ziluan replied indifferently: "I don't know, but this is the inner courtyard, it is not suitable for you to be here, please leave quickly."
"Oh, the princess is not here, then the prime minister must have made a mistake." Chen Xiaotong stood up as if nothing had happened, flicked the ashes on his trousers with his fingers, and complained in his mouth: "Really, it took so much trouble. Zhou Zhang turned out to be an oolong."
Chen Xiaotong shook his head again and said: "It's really time, luck, and fate!"
Ziluan never imagined that there would be such a cheeky person in this world, who would act so nonchalantly after betraying his friend, raised the tip of the arrow again angrily, and cursed: "Bastard! If you don't leave, I'll shoot you to death!"
"Don't, don't, don't!" Chen Xiaotong waved his hands at Ziluan again and again, his face turned pale with fright, he didn't even dare to turn around, and walked backwards, when he was almost at the door, he couldn't help asking: "What are you doing?" What about practicing bows and arrows? The skin on your hands is rough, and it will feel much worse to the touch."
"Dang~" Ziluan nailed the corner of Chen Xiaotong's robe to the ground with an arrow, and he was so frightened that he backed away, unable to break free for a while, so he fell to the ground again, seeing that Ziluan didn't shoot himself with an arrow, Chen Xiaotong Xiao Tong became more courageous, sat on the ground and continued to complain.
"Hey!" Chen Xiaotong said dissatisfiedly: "Although the princess favors you now, you can't let go of the old love like this? If I hadn't told the princess about your whereabouts at that time, how would you be today? By the emperor Send someone to kill it!"
"The emperor wants to kill me?" Zi Luan asked coldly.
"Of course, everyone knows that the emperor is dissatisfied with you." Chen Xiaotong said sternly, "You must pay attention to the marriage, let alone the royal family? How can the emperor marry the princess to a poor boy with no background at all? ? It's still so... special."
Seeing that Ziluan was silent, Chen Xiaotong continued to sit on the ground and said: "You and I have a deep friendship. If you help me marry the princess, then we should cooperate internally and externally. I am not afraid that the princess will run out of our palms!"
"Shut up!" Ziluan became angrier the more she listened, and scolded: "The princess is a fairy-like figure, how could you be the one who deserves it?"
"Aren't I better than you? I'm not worthy, so are you worthy?" Chen Xiaotong also became angry and shouted loudly.
Ziluan was furious, and with his backhand he drew another arrow and put it on the bow, pulling the string and shooting the arrow without saying a word.
The arrow whizzed towards Chen Xiaotong's head, closing Chen Xiaotong's eyes in fright, and shouted: "Mother~"
☆, escape
The arrow flew past Chen Xiaotong's scalp with a whizzing sound, and firmly nailed the jade crown on his head to the door.Chen Xiaotong was so frightened that he couldn't pull out the arrow with his backhand, so he untied his hair crown and crawled out with his hair loose.
Ziluan stared at the back of Chen Xiaotong fleeing in embarrassment, holding the iron bow tightly in her hand, her chest heaved violently. Just now, she really wanted to kill someone, but in the end she moved the tip of the arrow up so much because of her old love. One inch, after all, there are only a few people in this world who treat themselves well and are still alive.
Ziluan was sulking for a while, then after thinking about it, she felt vaguely uneasy, and quickly left the martial arts field to find her adoptive father and adoptive mother.
Mei Gu was sitting in the room sewing a small piece of clothing, Yan Qixia stood aside and fanned her.Seeing Zi Luan rushing in, Mei Gu asked in surprise: "My child, what happened?"
"Mother, father, just now when Chen Xiaotong broke into the teaching martial arts field and saw me, I feel that it is inappropriate to continue to stay here, or should we leave and avoid it?"
Mei Gu threw the things in her hand on the table and said, "Hurry up, I'm tired of staying here, being watched all day, I'm so bored."
Yan Qixia hesitated and said: "But Tian Canzi said that we should not travel far recently, it is best not to go out..."
"Listen to that magic stick farting! He also said that we have no children in our lives. Isn't our child standing in front of us?"
One sentence hit Yan Qixia's sore spot, so he had no choice but to give in, standing in the room and looking around, muttering reluctantly: "Oh, if you want to leave, you can't take these bigger things, so which one should you take?"
"Look at how stingy you are!" Aunt Mei disdainfully said, "If you want to leave, just go, baby, let's go first and ignore him!"
"This..." Ziluan hurriedly shook her hands, "I also want to tell the princess, I have been taken care of by her for many days, if I want to leave, at least leave a note to explain."
"Hey, look at your mother-in-law and mother, it's not straightforward at all!" Meigu gave Yan Qixia a dissatisfied look, Yan Qixia pretended not to see, and repeatedly rubbed Yu Ruyi with her hand, reluctant to let it go.
"Forget it, I'll go to the door to watch first, and if something goes wrong, I'll send you a signal, and we'll split up, and we'll meet later." Mei Gu said helplessly.
So the three of them split up.Ziluan first went to the martial arts field to pick out the weapons at hand. Although the iron bow was good, it was hard to get arrows, so she had to give up.In the end, Ziluan chose a pair of mandarin duck swords, but felt that the two swords were too heavy, so she had to discard the male sword and only took the female sword, wrapping it in a rag and carrying it on her back.
Back in the bedroom, Ziluan wrote a short message on the desk, stating that she would leave without saying goodbye.After thinking about it, I wrote another letter and took it with me just in case.
Ziluan tied her breasts, changed into ordinary men's clothing, packed up and went to find Yan Qixia, Yan Qixia had packed a big package, but she was still lingering in front of Baibaoge to choose.
Ziluan was taken aback when she saw the huge package, and said, "Father, it's not good for you to take it without telling me..."
"Tch!" Yan Qixia glanced at Ziluan contemptuously, "Why didn't you say it was bad when you spent my money before? Do you think my money is blown by the wind?"
Ziluan stopped talking for a while, Yan Qixia saw her expression was unacceptable, so she had to put back the golden Buddha in her hand, and said: "Okay, okay, I just hold it for admiration, the things in the bag are all given by the princess these days." Give it to me, she doesn't lack such little gadgets!"
After finishing speaking, Yan Qixia carried the big bag on her back, walked out with her head upright, and Ziluan had no choice but to follow behind.
But they walked around the backyard, but they didn't see Meigu, so Yan Qixia had to lead Ziluan to wait in front of the moon gate between the front and back yards, but they couldn't see anyone.
"Where did everyone go? Not even a garbage collector." Yan Qixia was inexplicably irritable, and kicked a greased paper bag on the ground.
The oiled paper package rolled out for a long distance, and the rolled paper package loosened, revealing a section of the stuff inside.
Yan Qixia glanced at it casually, and suddenly pounced on it, picking up the piece with trembling hands—it was a little finger, the blood was still wet on the section, obviously it had just been cut off.
Yan Qixia clenched the amputated finger tightly, looked around in a panic, and Ziluan hurried forward and asked, "Father, what's wrong with you?"
"Quick!" Yan Qixia was incoherent in a hurry, "Look for it!"
"What are you looking for?" Ziluan didn't see clearly what was in the paper bag.
Yan Qixia hurriedly spun around on the spot, but couldn't speak. In the end, Ziluan guessed what he meant, and pointed to the wall far away, "There is a similar oil paper bag over there."
Yan Qixia put the severed finger into her bosom, ran to the corner, picked up the greased paper bag and opened it, there was indeed a severed finger inside.
Yan Qixia didn't say any more, she got up and jumped up, intending to jump over the wall, but in panic, with a heavy bag on her back, she didn't jump over, and fell heavily under the wall.
Yan Qixia quickly unloaded the burden on her back, threw it on the ground, and jumped up again with concentration.
Ziluan didn't know what happened, but she had an intuition that there was something terrible inside the oiled paper bag, so she followed Yan Qixia and jumped out of the wall.
Outside the wall is another courtyard of the Princess Mansion, which is empty and unoccupied. Soon, Yan Qixia found another oiled paper package under the corner of a wall. This time, Ziluan saw the severed finger inside the paper package. Qixia put away her severed finger and was about to jump over the wall, she quickly grabbed his arm and persuaded: "Father! You must think twice, don't catch yourself!"
