Watch the sea

Wanzhou is located in the south of Zhongzhou and north of Yunzhou, and the Lanjiang River, the largest river in Kyushu, passes through it from west to east. It is a good place with rich products and unique advantages.

Lianyan City is built along the Lanjiang River, with rich resources and outstanding people. The Jiang family has been operating here for many years, and finally cast Lianyan City into the brightest pearl among all the cities in Wanzhou.

Ye Xinghui Su Lang and his party left Anfan City, crossed more than half of Wanzhou, and finally arrived at the edge of this pearl five days later.

Luoxia finally sheds the last ray of afterglow, only fifty miles away from Lianyan City, Su Lang suddenly ordered the team to stop, leaned against the door of the carriage leisurely, picked up the silk and began to slowly wipe the clouds and tides, as if waiting wearing something.

He rubbed very slowly and carefully, and stroked the entire sword lightly. After a cup of tea, he stopped. He opened his mouth: "I have followed all the way, come out and have a look?"

As night fell, the woods on both sides of the official road seemed to be blown by the wind, and a few leaves were startled by the westerly wind, and slowly floated down. The moment the green leaves fell to the ground, a dozen men in black suddenly fell silent like ghosts. Appeared around the carriage without interest.

The leader said to Su Lang: "Hand over the jade pendant in your hand."

Su Lang compared the sword tassels he bought on the road with Yun Qichao Sheng, and replied casually: "I have a lot of jade pendants, it depends on whether you have the ability to take them."

"Toast, don't eat fine wine." The man in black's eyes were cold, and he gave an order while holding a pair of knives, and the surrounding warriors in black immediately attacked.

With a point on his toes, Su Lang flew down and swung his sword horizontally. For a moment, the sword energy was powerful, the sound of the sword, the sound of the sword, and the neighing of the horse mingled together, startling thousands of birds in the forest, and the murderous and bloody aura spread across the entire road The quiet and empty official road.

Ye Xinghui sat in the car with his legs outstretched, glanced outside, saw Su Lang's elegant figure, as if startling a dragon, with ease, he swept several black-clothed warriors under his sword with flying clothes, and the clouds rose On the tide, the cold light shines obliquely, and the blood does not stain.

He looked itchy in his heart, picked up the space in his hand and wanted to go out, but before he could stand up, he sat down on the car again - his leg was numb, and it had been numb for a long time.

After Su Lang cleaned up the black-clothed assassin and returned to the carriage, seeing Xinghui was still sitting in the same posture, he gave him a funny look: "Are you ready?"

Xinghui shook his head aggrievedly: "It's still numb."

"Then let me knead for you?"

He intentionally said the word "kneading" in a gentle and tender way, but the expression on his brows and eyes was as usual, and there seemed to be a little affection in the few words, which made people hear and see but couldn't catch it.

Xinghui's face was suddenly stained with red, and he turned his face away unnaturally, and quickly changed the topic: "No, no, do you know who it is?"

Su Lang chuckled lightly, and stretched out his hand to help him pinch his leg: "It should be the Jia Zixiang Pavilion that I bid for in Bibo Tianse that day. When I arrive in Brilliant City, I will send a letter back for Su Junai to check."

Xinghui was thoughtful: "It seems that he really knows the goods. It seems that he came here specially for the jade pendant, and he still refuses to give up until now. The name of the person behind it in Bibo Tianse must not be true."

"Well, let's look it up first." Su Lang lowered his eyelids, "I've followed us all the way, but I'm not really an expert. Let's go to Bingyan City and have a look."

The group drove for another half an hour, and finally saw the thousands of lights of the Lanjiang Pearl when the sky was half-falling and the night was falling.

Wanzhou Lianyan City has arrived.

This time he didn't go to the post house, Su Lang directly took them to the private house that the Su family bought in Lianyan City, and told Xinghui to rest early, and tomorrow they will go to Qinghe Princess Mansion.

The Jiang family has been operating in Lianyan City for many years, and there are eyeliners everywhere in the city. Naturally, Su Lang Ye Xinghui and his party can't hide it from Jiang's eyes and ears when they enter the city at night.

"My son, the emperor is here."

Jiang Chengan glanced at the guard kneeling on the ground, and said nonchalantly, "Come on then, the princess and I are married by the queen mother, who can say anything? Besides, this is the city of Lianyan, what are you afraid of? Is that what they all said? It's the princess who is unlucky, so I can't blame me."

Jiang Chengping on the side asked, "Who is the leader?"

"Yingguo Duke's Mansion, Su Lang."

The son-in-law Jiang Chengan paused for a moment, "Su Lang?"

The guard said yes respectfully, Jiang Chengan frowned slightly upon hearing this, realizing that things seemed a little tricky.

After all, she is a princess who has been married for many years, and she is not the emperor and his mother's sister. He thought that the emperor would at most send a middle-rank official to announce the decree and make a show, and then it was over. It's a little troublesome for a close minister and a son of a family.

"Where is Su Lang now?" Jiang Chengping glanced at his elder brother, feeling ominous.

"In Su's house in Brilliant City."

"Not at the posthouse?" Jiang Chengping stood up straight away, turned to Jiang Chengan and said, "Brother, I'll go tell my father that we'll go to the princess's place tomorrow morning, so we have to put on a show. Su Lang was sent to Lianyan on a business trip." Cheng did not go to the post house, he has made his attitude clear, I am afraid that the visitor is not kind."

Jiang Chengan nodded, then waved to the guard to let him go down, and said to Jiang Chengping in a low voice: "I'll make arrangements with Jingyi, I'm afraid the emperor will attack their mother and child."

Jiang Chengping looked at the back of his elder brother going away, feeling uneasy for some reason.

The moon was setting and the sun was rising, the morning light was twilight, and the east was gradually turning white. Ling Qi silently glanced at Ye Xinghui who was going out in the dark, his eyes were dark for a moment, and after a while, he called a shadow guard to report to Su Lang, and followed him.

Xing Hui didn't seem to notice it. After standing at the end of the alley in front of Su's house for a while, someone came straight towards him. After talking for a while, Xing Hui followed that person away.

Ling Qiyin was in the dark, seeing Xing Huan being generous and not covering up, his heart skipped a beat, and he wasn't sure what Li Shan meant.

When they came to Lianyan City this time, apart from taking the princess back to the imperial capital, they also had two important tasks. One was to find out the current situation of Jiang Jincheng and King Jing's movements, and the other was to find out what Lishan had done with regard to the princess.

On the way they came, they encountered a hidden guard pretending to be a bandit. Jiang Jincheng should have noticed it. King Jing is not so easy to fool. The first thing is difficult to do carefully.Now this second matter must be investigated no matter what.

He discussed with Su Lang yesterday, and sent someone to investigate the situation of the princess in Bianyan City in recent years, intending to find out whether the people in Lishan had contact with the Princess Mansion or even Jiang Jincheng in recent years.But he didn't want to, this morning Ye Xinghui actually didn't avoid it, and told them clearly that he went to see the people in Lishan in Lianyan City, and he was not allowed to enter or retreat for a while.

Xinghui followed the Lishan warriors who came to meet him, walked all the way through the streets and alleys of Lianyan City, stepping on the broken gold sprinkled by the cold early morning sun, and finally stopped in front of an unattractive teahouse, leading the way The person turned sideways and respectfully said: "Young master, this is here, please."

Xinghui nodded, raised his foot and walked in.

As soon as he entered the door, a middle-aged man in Tsing Yi greeted him, nodded and said: "The young master is here, what can the young master teach us?" Saying this, he led Xinghui to the backyard.

Xinghui bowed slightly and returned a salute, followed immediately, and said modestly: "Master Feng is too polite, I don't dare to give advice."

This shopkeeper Feng is a descendant of the previous generation of Lishan Mountain. In terms of seniority, he can be regarded as Xinghui's uncle. He has been guarding Lianyan City in recent years. Respect is naturally insufficient.

Shopkeeper Feng sat at the stone table in the backyard of the tea house, quietly waiting for the mountain spring water to boil, from the quietness of the tea to the water like the eyes of a crab, to the boiling like the eyes of a fish, neither of them opened their mouths.

As soon as the water boiled, fine mist and smoke curled up. Shopkeeper Feng put the tea into the pot, and brought two white jade porcelain bowls, and poured a cup for Xinghui. The heat of the tea swirled leisurely around the porcelain bowls. Then it rose up, turned into a cloud and drifted away, and the fragrance of tea instantly smudged the entire backyard.

"Try it, Yulu Yunwu."

Xinghui took the porcelain bowl as white as jade with both hands, and sipped lightly.

While the fragrance of tea was wafting, a quarter of an hour passed quietly. Shopkeeper Feng opened his mouth first: "The young master came to Wanzhou this time to follow the emperor's order?"

"Yes", Xinghui nodded: "I was ordered to take Princess Qing and the eldest princess back to Beijing to visit relatives and sacrifice their mother." He did not dodge or avoid, his eyes looked directly into Shopkeeper Feng's eyes.

The two stalemate for a while, then shopkeeper Feng suddenly laughed, and poured another cup of tea for Xinghui: "Then the young master came to me, what's the matter? Just tell me."

The water vapor from the hot tea curled up like smoke and mist. Xinghui lowered his eyelids. Under the cover of misty water vapor, shopkeeper Feng couldn't see his expression clearly for a while. He only heard the young man's clear and clear voice, and said lightly: "I want to Uncle Master sent someone to investigate a matter, Jiang Jincheng's recent situation in recent years, what King Jing has done since the rebellion of King Qi four years ago, and which families he has contacts with."

The fragrance of tea lingered on both sides of the stone table, and there was no wind in the whole backyard. Shopkeeper Feng suddenly changed his name to "Xinghui", with no fluctuations in his tone, as usual: "You are still young, and it takes a long time to learn how to make tea. Shan likes to drink weak tea."

"Strong tea and light tea are both good tea. If you drink too much weak tea, it's okay to drink some strong tea once in a while, what does my uncle say?" the young man's voice was firm.

Shopkeeper Feng was noncommittal: "In Lishan, what kind of tea does the tea maker cook, and what kind of tea does the tea drinker taste. I said strong tea and weak tea are not counted."

The corner of Xinghui's lips curled into a slight smile: "Uncle Master may have misunderstood, I'm still young, I don't do much, and I don't want to make tea right now."

Shopkeeper Feng frowned slightly: "Since that's the case, why do you want me to investigate Jiang Jincheng?"

"Master, Xinghui came here today not to ask for your help. In fact, I did not mean to investigate this matter alone." Xinghui looked straight into Shopkeeper Feng's eyes, and gently placed the jade token in his hand on him. in front of.

"Dong Junling?" Shopkeeper Feng was startled and stood up straight away.

"In the case of Jiang Jincheng in Wanzhou, Dong Jun also wanted to make a pot of strong tea."

When Su Lang saw Xinghui came back, his face was still gentle as usual, he waved at Xinghui, seemingly unintentionally said: "Where are you going, come over to eat."

Xinghui sat at the table with clean hands, smiled at him, and answered directly: "Eh? Don't you know, I'm going to meet the people in Lishan."

Su Lang paused slightly with the hand holding the chopsticks.

Xinghui didn't seem to notice it, his face was normal, and he was holding a small crystal dumpling with a smile, but his black eyes seemed to have sunk into an endless abyss, and there was no trace of a smile in his eyes.
