Dragon Fate of Shan Hai Ji

But Tantai Rongyue suddenly said: "Wait a minute. We'd better go back to the Xijun Prince's Mansion and inform the princess about this matter."

Huang Ling bowed slightly: "My maidservant knows that Miss has a golden orchid friendship with the Princess, I cannot bear to doubt it. But the West County is dangerous, there is no doubt about it, for safety's sake, Miss must leave as soon as possible."

Tantai Rongyue said calmly: "Huang Ling's persuasion is reasonable. But, first of all, I don't believe that Xijun will assassinate me. The princess and I are like sisters. Why would she want to kill me? If she really wanted to kill me, wouldn't she attack me while she was in the county prince's mansion?" Wouldn’t it be more convenient? If you want to get rid of the relationship, you can send assassins after we leave the border of Jiuyi.”

Le Yue suddenly remembered that in the middle of the night before yesterday, Huang Ling had said that someone was going to harm Tantai Rongyue, but she had discovered it.

Tantai Rongyue continued: "...Secondly, after all, we were attacked outside Jiuyi City. According to common sense, we should also report this matter to the local government. If we go straight back to the capital, wouldn't the government and the county prince's residence be in vain? The last charge of poor governance?"

The guards looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Lin Jing interjected: "Leave one or two people to go back to Jiuyi City to report the matter, and the others will escort Miss Tantai back to the capital right away?"

Tantai Rongyue lowered her eyes: "I think it would be better for me to explain this matter to Princess Chu Ling in person."

Lin Jing couldn't help rolling her eyes at him, even Le Yue was a little speechless.

So dangerous, Tantai Rongyue is still thinking about the feelings of her best friend. Is this too kind, too stupid, or too much to show generosity?But Tantai Rongyue insisted that Huang Ling was only a maidservant in name, so she couldn't contradict her too much, and said: "Since Miss Tantai insists, the slaveservant can't disobey, if we continue to pester, maybe another group of assassins will come." Then he turned around. Instructed the leader of the guards, "Mr. Deng, please take two people back to Jiuyi City to report. After Eunuch Liu wakes up, we will escort Miss Tantai back to the city. If you find that something is wrong, please use fireworks to communicate."

The leader of the guards nodded in agreement, ordered two guards, and hurried back to Jiuyi on foot.

Le Yue scratched the back of his head, and said to the guards: "You guys are here to protect Miss Tantai, and go down to find out where the boulder was thrown just now." It is learned from Zhang Liang's method of assassinating Qin Shihuang in ancient times.Back then, Zhang Liang found a strongman and used organs to help him throw stones. I don't know what method these assassins used.From the direction from which the boulder flew, it could be inferred that the place where the stone was thrown was high on the hillside. When they came down just now, they didn't realize that there was someone ambushing there.

Le Yue and Lin Jing Zhaoyuan ran towards the hillside, Sun Ben also followed behind them, Fei Xianfeng made a face at Tantai Rongyue, blew out a handful of dandelions, and turned somersaults before dancing and dancing to follow Sun ran away.

A little maid couldn't help laughing and said, "This monkey with wings is really cute."

A guard shouted behind them: "Wait a minute, I haven't asked the names of a few people yet."

Sun Ben was the first to turn around and cup his fists: "I'm next, Sun Ben."

Le Yue then also gave his surname: "I am Le Yue."

The maids discussed in a low voice: "These people are so weird, could they be the legendary righteous men?"

Huang Ling stared at their backs expressionlessly: "These people are the consorts of Princess Xi."

A maid exclaimed: "Could it be that the husband of Princess Xi is such a strange person?"

Another maid whispered: "If it's such a husband, maybe it's very good." As soon as she said the words, she was immediately gouged out by the older maid next to her. She bowed her head in shame, but fortunately Tantai Rongyue was looking in the direction where Le Yue and Sun Ben were leaving and was distracted, so she didn't pay attention to her words.

Huang Ling furrowed her brows tightly, staring at their receding backs with a frosty face, gritted her teeth in her heart with resentment—that unworthy thing Ah Huang actually ran away with the dragon!When you return to the capital, let's see how Feng Jun and Brother Feng Tong punish you!

At this time, the little yellow bird was leaning on Zhao Yuan, pecking its cheek with its beak.

The stronghold where the boulder was thrown was quickly found, and as Le Yue expected, the scene had been cleaned up, leaving only a pile of iron and wood blocks, and even the footprints on the ground were carefully swept away.

Sun Ben picked up one of the iron shafts, looked at it, and said, "Sure enough, they smashed the boulder from the rock over there, and then used this machine to shoot the boulder at the carriage."

But how can they be sure that the big stone can just hit Tantai Rongyue's carriage?Le Yue searched in the pile of iron and wood blocks, and found that the disassembled wheel mechanism may be similar to the wooden cow and horse used by Zhuge Liang in the legend of the Three Kingdoms, and the wheel is used to push and adjust the position at any time.They must have done pre-rehearsals before, and they can roughly grasp the position where the stone hits.

Lin Jing said: "If you push such a big cart over, someone will definitely find it."

Sun Ben pointed to the side: "Wrong. They only brought iron materials and craftsmen, and now they have made the mechanism here." The place he pointed to clearly had wooden piles left by the bibliography. "According to these dismantled According to the waste materials, the assassins have been here for at least two days from machine building including quarrying to layout, and they probably knew that Tantai Rongyue would leave Jiuyi City today."

Le Yue frowned in thought.From Tantai Rongyue's arrival in Jiuyi to his departure coincided with the time Sun Ben said, that is to say, at least when Tantai Rongyue first arrived in Jiuyi, these assassins began to plan and arrange.

Sun Ben crossed his arms: "What do you think of Le Shaoxia?"

Le Yue pondered for a moment and then said: "I guess, either, these people already knew about Miss Tantai's whereabouts, and planned to target them from the beginning, or there were traitors in Jiuyi City or the county palace, intending to harm Miss Tantai."

Sun Benyang raised his eyebrows: "So Le Shaoxia doesn't think it was the work of the Xijun Palace."

Le Yue sighed: "The plan is so detailed, how can an assassin with a mark on his body do it?"

Sun Ben showed that meaningful smile again.

Zhao Yuan couldn't get in the conversation, and just watched from the sidelines. He faintly felt that the matter was indescribably complicated, and that there were unexpected plots and hidden secrets hidden in it.Unfortunately, it doesn't even know where to guess, and it faintly admires the clever Lin Jing and Shang Jing who seems to know that both eyebrows can see through.

Moreover, there is one more thing that makes it a headache now.Huang Nu's little yellow bird was fixed on its shoulder, like a sticky dog ​​skin plaster, it couldn't be driven away no matter what.Zhaoyuan was worried that Huangnv would kill her later, because she kidnapped the chicks to settle accounts with her.

So it raised its claws and suggested: "Or, let's go back to the city first?"

Le Yue nodded: "I can't see anything else here for the time being, let's go back to the city first."

Sun Ben yawned: "Go back to the city, and I will continue to practice with those ten people."

Lin Jing glanced at him: "Aren't you very interested in watching the excitement? Why are you not active in the excitement of the future princess returning to the Xijun Palace?"

Sun Ben lazily said: "I'm very active and really want to see it, but when I went back to the Xijun Prince's Mansion and closed the door, no matter how lively it was, no one would let us see it."

Le Yue said: "Yeah, Brother Sun is right. I guess we don't have anything to do today. When I go back to the city to buy some food and drink, I will continue to practice."

Sun Ben waved his hand: "Then let's take a step first, and I wish Shaoxia Le a smooth rehearsal."

Le Yue chuckled and said, "To each other."

Sun Ben called Shangfei Pioneer and strode away.

Lin Jing stared at his back and said in a low voice: "It's weird and suspicious!"

Le Yue chuckled, and put his arms around his chest: "I think, if you suspect Brother Sun, Miss Tantai might also suspect us, it's ridiculous to suspect each other like this, in fact, this matter is obviously very simple. "

Lin Jing opened her eyes wide: "You know?"

Le Yue pretended to be mysterious and smiled.

Lin Jing wrinkled her nose: "When will you learn Du Shubo's tricks of playing tricks on ghosts and mysteries? Is there a clue to the assassination of Tantai Rongyue in your recent investigation with Silly Dragon?" She smashed Le Yue with her fist shoulder, "Hey, let's talk."

Seeing that Le Yue didn't respond, he grabbed Zhao Yuan again: "Then, tell me."

ah?Zhao Yuan scratched his head in a daze, it didn't know anything at all...

Le Yue reached out in time to rescue Lin Jing's clutches, and sighed: "Okay, let me tell you—this incident is probably because Beijun intentionally framed the Xijun Palace. Linjing pulled Zhaoyuan into the air and carefully Floating to the Prince's Mansion of the West County. Ying Ze followed behind them slowly, and Shang Jing was still lying on Lin Jing's shoulders. In a house in the Prince's Mansion of the West County, a fierce voice was being heard. Lin Jing hooked her fingers and whispered Said: "It should be there. "

Relying on their invisibility techniques, they walked through the door swaggeringly.Sure enough, here is a rather wide hall, Tantai Rongyue, Huangnu, Eunuch Liu, all the guards, the corpse, Princess Chu Ling, even Mrs. Luluo, the chief manager of Dingxi Palace and several guards are all in the hall .

Princess Chu Ling stood in the middle of the hall, with a terrified expression: "...I have tried my best to murder Rong Yue, what good is it for me? You probably have heard of what happened in Dingxi Palace recently. My father, mother and concubine were killed People are poisoned, there is no place to redress grievances, my younger brother is young, and no one in the palace can take charge of the overall situation. I had no choice but to host a banquet to invite relatives, and I was threatened the day before yesterday. Dingxi Palace is now in danger. If I murder Rongyue, I will send someone with a seal Assassins go to murder, they will definitely be exposed. May I ask Her Royal Highness, the Master of the State, Prince Anshun, Prime Minister Tantai, and others from the court to the government, which one will let me go? Apart from being convicted, what else can I gain? ?”

The hall was silent.Princess Chuling walked up to Eunuch Liu slowly: "Eunuch Liu, what I said just now may seem sophistical to you or others. How about this, the princess immediately stops recruiting relatives, and will be punished for the crime. Let's all go to the capital together and ask the Ministry of Criminal Justice to investigate, okay?"

Eunuch Liu was sitting in the grand teacher's chair, and Princess Chu Ling was standing. Although he bowed his head to show respect, he was condescending.Eunuch Liu raised his sleeve and wiped his sweat: "Your Highness, the princess, is serious. This old slave can't afford it. The princess is the daughter of the prince, and this old slave is just a servant in the palace who serves the emperor and queen mother. How dare you offend me so easily. This time, Miss Tantai Assassinated, the incident happened suddenly, so I returned to the Xijun Prince's Mansion, it is definitely not the intention of doubting the princess..."

Huang Ling interjected: "That's right, Miss Tantai said from the very beginning that this matter will never have anything to do with the princess. It may be that someone planted a frame, but I don't know what the origin of these assassins is. The real purpose of this assassination is What."

Zhao Yuan, Le Yue, Lin Jing and Shang Jing watched with relish.Ying Ze shook his head and said, "It's such a simple way of framing people to blame, but it's such a quarrel. The minds of ordinary people are really low."

Zhao Yuan scratched the back of his head: "I think this matter is very complicated, who will do it?"

Ying Ze said slowly: "It's either someone who has a grudge against the future princess, or someone who has a grudge against the Xijun Palace. What's so complicated?"

Zhao Yuan said in his heart, it's just complicated because he can't guess which one it is.

Lin Jing curled her lips: "Your Highness Ying Ze, it's the same as if you didn't say anything."

Ying Ze said proudly: "I just don't bother to delve into the little tricks of mortals."

The corners of Lin Jing's mouth twitched, obviously you couldn't guess it.

Zhao Yuan humbly asked Shang Jing: "Who is the real mastermind behind the scenes?"

Shang Jing lowered his eyelids halfway: "There is a lie in the truth, and there is a truth in the lie." This answer is more erratic than Ying Ze's.

Zhao Yuan continued to struggle.The yellow-haired chick still clung to its shoulders and refused to go back to Huangnv's side. It seemed to know that Zhao Yuan was confused, so it rubbed its little furry head against its neck.

But Ying Ze finds it very unpleasant, because his younger generation has been bullied, and now he doesn't want to see any bird tribe.He glanced at the yellow-haired chick coldly, and said coldly: "I suddenly want to eat fried sparrow."

Zhao Yuan shivered, but it was a pity that the chick obviously didn't know what the fried sparrow was. It flapped its wings towards Ying Ze, chirped affectionately twice, and jumped from Zhao Yuan's shoulder to Ying Ze's shoulder It means to try.Zhao Yuan quickly held it down with his hands.Fortunately, the young bird quickly gave up that idea, and continued to tilt its head and try hard to peck Zhao Yuan's neckline, without even noticing Ying Ze's gloomy and cold gaze.

Lin Jing pressed her temples, feeling that being the only normal one in the group was really hard work.

Everyone in the hall held different opinions on the truth of the assassination incident, and they had different opinions. They guessed and guessed, but to no avail. In the end, it turned out that the monarch and Tantai Rongyue confide in each other about their sisterhood.

Even Zhao Yuan felt very bored, and it was boring to watch it any longer. Lin Jing took the chick off her shoulders for it again, put it on the vase by the door of the hall, and waved happily to Huang Ling.They were watching the fun outside the door so grandiosely, Huang Ling saw it in her eyes, but she couldn't move rashly, her face turned greener and greener, and her silver teeth were almost shattered.

Seeing Zhao Yuan abandoning it, the chick cried out mournfully, its watery eyes filled with grievances.

Lin Jing tapped Zhao Yuan's shoulder, and said with a smile, "I don't know if it is a male or a female. If it is female, maybe it will want to marry you as a wife when it grows up."

Daughter-in-law... Zhao Yuan shivered, and subconsciously blurted out: "I, I don't want it."

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the chicks behind me seem to be crying more sadly.

Ying Ze snorted, "That's right, our Dragon Clan will never marry the Yu Clan, no matter how much they stick to each other, we can't be shaken."

In the evening, when Le Yue came back from military training, before the stools were warmed up and the water hadn't had time to drink, someone knocked lightly on the door.

A servant stood in front of the door and bowed reverently: "The villain was ordered by the military to send a message. Today, Mr. Le Yue and his followers fought back the assassins and rescued Miss Tantai. Tonight, a special banquet will be held in the palace to thank you, Mr. Le Yue and others." , I hope you will be rewarded."

Le Yue readily agreed, washed his face, changed into clean clothes, and invited everyone to go together.

Du Ruyuan shook the folded fan: "No meritorious deeds will not be rewarded. This banquet is to thank the heroes who bravely saved the future crown princess. I was not present at the time. Besides, I am from the Dingnan Palace, and in the past it may have attracted some unnecessary people. restraint."

Luo Lingzhi also declined, saying that Miss Tantai's assassination this time might be due to spies mixed up in the palace and the county horse candidates, and he wanted to investigate further at night.

Ying Ze was rarely interested in eating, so he yawned and said, "I'm very impatient to see those stupid mortals arguing in the palace at noon, and I have to rest at night, so you can do whatever you want." However, his old man proposed Asked, when he came back from the palace, stop by the street to give him a little supper.

In the end, it was Le Yue, Zhao Yuan, and Lin Jing who went together.

The banquet was held in the Yage Pavilion in the back garden of the Wangfu, facing a pool of water, the doors and windows on all sides of the Yage Pavilion were opened, which looked like a gazebo.There is a simple and elegant glazed lamp hanging inside, which is as bright as day, and the incense is refreshing, the night wind is soft, the moonlight is quiet, the lotus is just holding new leaves, and the leaves are covered with a pool of silver stars.

When Le Yue and the others first entered the Accord, they saw Fei Xianfeng squatting on a chair, shaking a piece of silk to make a magic show, shaking out flowers one after another from the silk.

Princess Chu Ling and Eunuch Liu smiled happily, and the servants and maids on the side also applauded and laughed non-stop.Sun Ben sat down with a smile on his face.

The servant who led Le Yue and the others bent down to announce that Princess Chuling, Eunuch Liu, Chief Guard Deng and Sun Ben all stood up from their seats.

Le Yue hurriedly clasped his fists in salute, and was led to his seat by the maidservant.

After taking their seats, Eunuch Liu praised them for their rescue today: "...If you hadn't happened to pass by and helped, maybe even our family would have become souls under the stone."

It's just that the words "just passing by" can be heard by even Zhao Yuan, there is something in the words, and there is no point.

Sure enough, the leader of the guards, Mr. Deng, immediately interjected: "Yes, I heard that Le Shaoxia and Sun Shaoxia are two county horses who are the princesses, and they have been practicing martial arts outside the city for the past few days. Help."

Director Deng must have checked, Le Yue and Sun Ben's rehearsal location today is not near the location of the assassination incident, that's why he just said so.

Le Yue suddenly felt uncomfortable sitting on the chair under his buttocks.He said truthfully: "No, the training site of Caomin is not near there."

Director Deng said in surprise, "Oh? So did Shaoxia Le pass by because of something else?"

Before Le Yue's words, Sun Ben said: "Not only Le Shaoxia, but the rehearsal location I set is also far away from the starting point. In fact, Le Shaoxia and I just happened to pass there. There is some unspeakable reason."

Le Yue didn't know what medicine Sun Ben wanted to sell in the gourd, so he chose not to speak.

Director Deng looked at the two of them, smiled and said: "Join me and ask why, the two young heroes won't think I'm abrupt."

Zhaoyuan looked at them questioning them pretending to praise, and wanted to push away the plate and leave immediately. Lin Jing noticed that its expression gradually became unhappy, so she patted his arm secretly, and said with magic spell: "Ordinary people are like this, often He will harm others in the name of saving others, so he often has doubts about the person who saved him, and this kind of thing will happen more in the future. Don't be ashamed, you will cause trouble for Le Yue."

Zhao Yuan gave a muffled hum, trying to make himself look calm.It also used magic sound transmission to say to Lin Jing: "I don't understand why they do this."

Lin Jing said: "This is a mortal. A mortal has many minds, and it is difficult to deal with. You lie to me, I lie to you, you plan on me and I plan on you, so it is a hard job for us Maid Protector."
