Tang Ling's tent looks the same as Qi Xiao's in appearance, and the space inside is much larger than Qi Xiao thought, but it doesn't look cramped.

When Qi Xiao entered the tent, Qing Lan was laying out the vegetables. She was overjoyed at first when she saw Tang Ling come back, but in the blink of an eye she saw Qi Xiao who was following beside her, and her expression instantly turned ugly.

"Young Master...His Royal Highness King Chu."

Qing Lan has been reprimanded by Tang Ling several times, and she dare not act presumptuously in front of Qi Xiao, especially now that they are in Yuanjing City, it doesn't matter if he gets into trouble, if he gets into trouble with his son and the Great Zhou Mission, then Qing Lan will die Forgive me.

Tang Ling gave Qing Lan an order: "Make tea."

"……Oh."

"Prepare another pair of bowls and chopsticks."

"...Yes, my lord."

Qi Xiao wanted to laugh when he saw Qing Lan's displeased face, even if his young master was sitting in the prison car, he looked calm and dignified, how come Qing Lan couldn't even learn a thing or two? ?However, Qing Lan is very sincere in protecting her master, so Qi Xiao has no intention of being harsh.

Qing Lan served two cups of tea, and first offered a cup to Qi Xiao respectfully: "His Royal Highness, please use it."

Qi Xiao raised his eyes and glanced at Qing Lan, and said with a smile: "Qing Lan, I haven't thanked you for the sugar pill before.

Is there any reward you want? "

Qing Lan froze for a moment, then turned her head to look at Tang Ling, the disbelief in her eyes seemed to ask, did Qi Xiao take the wrong medicine?Suddenly become a good person?Which doctor is so capable, he should see him!

Tang Ling smiled: "Your Highness is too polite, you have saved me many times before, a bag of sugar pills is nothing.

It's just a doctor's job, and Qing Lan didn't dare to ask for any reward. "

Qi Xiao laughed: "It's my duty to be a doctor, but I'm the one to be presumptuous."

In a few words, Qi Xiao's reward became a joke, Qing Lan didn't know if she should cry, it seemed that she lost a lot of benefits for nothing, and she felt a little wronged.

Tang Ling gave Qing Lan a wink and asked him to prepare the dishes.

Qi Xiao picked up the teacup, and the aroma of the tea was very familiar: "The green tea from Qinxin Tea House?"

Tang Ling nodded.

"The tribute tea in the palace is not good?"

"It's not bad, it's great.

I just think that the carefully selected and flawless tea lacks some natural flavor, so why not leave some regrets. "

"There seems to be a deep meaning in these words."

"That's all."

Qing Lan added a pair of bowls and chopsticks for Qi Xiao, stood silently behind Tang Ling, glanced at Qi Xiao from time to time, was on guard, and still held great hostility towards Qi Xiao.

Qi Xiao didn't take it seriously, so he raised his chopsticks and started eating. He was really hungry, and he didn't intend to be polite to Tang Ling.

"Qing Lan, report a letter to Zong Sheng, saying that the prince is with me."

Tang Ling ordered softly, sent Qing Lan away, and then said to Qi Xiao, "Qing Lan is young and not very sensible."

Qi Xiao took a sip of the soup, slightly raised his eyebrows, nodded and said: "You are young.

It's okay, I'm not so stingy. "

Qing Lan should be about the same age as him, so Tang Ling is saying that he is young.

Tang Ling knows best what Qinglan looks like. From Yongcheng to Yuanjing, if Qi Xiao was a narrow-minded person, Qinglan's head would have moved long ago. Tang Ling's maintenance came too late, and it was completely unnecessary, which made Qi Xiao a little inexplicable. Not very happy.

Tang Ling smiled and pressed the corners of her mouth slightly. He gradually got a clear understanding of Qi Xiao's temperament, and also understood what Qi Xiao meant when he smiled and raised his eyebrows.

The current Qi Xiao is no longer the Qi Xiao who was in Yongcheng that day. He regards Tang Ling as a piece of meat and a meal on his plate. He is no longer vigilant, and he no longer intentionally provokes or manipulates Tang Ling.

As if they were already friends.

Qi Xiao was looked at by Tang Ling with a smile, a little embarrassed, and asked, "Why did you come to hunt?"

"Your Majesty's invitation, I can't refuse."

"Whether you can be civilized or not, the world knows, His Majesty will not embarrass you."

Tang Ling laughed, "I've heard about hunting at Baiyan Mountain since I first entered Beijing. If I miss out on such excitement, I may not have another chance, so I want to come and have a look."

"You lost, Zhou Guo didn't look good.

Why bother. "

"I heard that there is a lottery every year when hunting in Baiyan Mountain. The winner of the lottery wins. In other words, there is only one winner every year, so it doesn't matter if I lose."

Qi Xiao opened his mouth, holding back what he wanted to say, Tang Ling has already come, and now it is useless to persuade him that the autumn hunting is dangerous, those words of persuasion are probably out of mouth by Qing Lan, since Tang Ling has decided, she must have a purpose , but he doesn't need to worry about it.

"Come to spy on my big Chen army?"

Tang Ling laughed: "I do have this idea.

I heard that the imperial army, the five capitals, and the five city guards all have capable people to participate in the hunting, and many of them are generals. If the peace talks fail, I, Da Zhou, should make preparations early, right? "

Tang Ling followed Qi Xiao's words without any shyness, and choked Qi Xiao.

The emperor can invite Tang Ling to participate in the hunting of Baiyan Mountain, is he really afraid that he will spy on the military situation?These generals were used to establish their prestige in front of Tang Ling.

Tang Ling raised her eyes and looked straight at Qi Xiao, and said slowly: "I heard that one of the five city guards, Lu Xiulin, the head of the guard, once followed the late Huiyun General Bai Liu, and was quite favored by His Majesty. The popular candidate."

Qi Xiao was holding the vegetables, and after hearing Tang Ling's words, the movements of his hands paused, and then he retracted his hands and put down the chopsticks.

"Lu Xiulin?" Qi Xiao didn't know this Lu Xiulin, but he heard Bai Xiqiao mention it a few times. Lu Xiulin followed Bai Liu back to Yuanjing City, and when Bai Liu had an accident, Lu Xiulin wrote a letter back to Fenglin Mountain, but he was later arrested. Staying in Yuanjing, the connection with Baixi Bridge was broken.

Bai Xiqiao once wrote a letter to Lu Xiulin but got no reply, he seemed to avoid it on purpose.

Qi Xiao has no contacts in Yuanjing, he really doesn't know that Lu Xiulin is not only still in Yuanjing, but even working in Wuchengwei.

Qi Xiao met Tang Ling with a smile on his face, he would not mention Lu Xiulin for no reason.

Tang Ling didn't say a word about Lu Xiulin or Bai Liu, instead she stood up and said, "General Lu once won a siege, so this time he's just accompanying him and won't participate in it himself, otherwise I'd be very curious , who will win, General Lu or you? It should be exciting."

"What else do you know?"

"What?" Tang Ling pretended not to understand Qi Xiao's question.

Qi Xiao stared at Tang Ling with a serious expression, and no longer meant to be joking. Tang Ling smiled slightly and replied, "When General Bai Liu passed away due to illness, he was by his side. If you have anything you want to know, you will definitely Wanting to find him, I paid more attention.

The Dingyuan Army was abolished back then, and the cronies around General Bai Liu are now scattered, only this Lu Xiulin is still in the Yuan capital.

We were lucky. "

we?

Tang Ling wouldn't help him for no reason, just like Qi Xiao didn't save Tang Ling for no reason.

They may be friends, but they still stand opposite each other, far from being close enough to say "we".

Qi Xiao looked at Tang Ling coldly: "This matter has nothing to do with you, so there is no need to investigate further."

Qi Xiao gave Tang Ling two names at that time, Bai Liu and Cao Weishan. Tang Ling checked both of them, but put his mind on Bai Liu. He intuitively judged that Cao Weishan might be useful to Qi Xiao, but it didn't matter that much. Xiao asked him to investigate a dead person related to Fenglin Mountain. It must not be a temporary idea, but rather important.

Judging by Qi Xiao's reaction at this moment, Tang Ling guessed right.

Bai Liu's death must have been as simple as it appeared.

When Bai Liu died, Qi Xiao was still a child, and when he first arrived in Yongcheng, he shouldn't have had any contact with Bai Liu, but since Qi Xiao has excellent martial arts and knows Lu Fang very well, it is not impossible to know Bai Liu.

Tang Ling was very curious about the story he was hiding.

Tang Ling's face remained the same, she was still smiling: "It's a little effort."

Qi Xiao was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled in relief, and continued to eat, no emotional ups and downs could be seen on his face, as if he had suddenly changed his face and person.

Finding Lu Xiulin was a great help from Tang Ling, but Qi Xiao didn't want Tang Ling or Xing Luowei to be involved in Bai Liu's matter. After all, Bai Liu was involved in Da Chen's military affairs. It is not difficult to figure it out if Tang Ling investigates it further. Among the joints, Qi Xiao couldn't guess what Tang Ling would do with Bai Liu.

Bai Liu is dead, but Bai Xiqiao is still alive, Qi Xiao will not allow any mistakes or accidents in this matter.

Qi Xiao had conflicts and struggles in his heart. He wanted to use Xing Luowei, but he was afraid that Tang Ling would be too difficult to control.

He needed something else to restrain Tang Ling.

***

The matter of Lu Xiulin seemed to be just a small episode, after that Tang Ling and Qi Xiao still enjoyed their meal happily, talking and laughing.

Until Qi Xiao lifted the curtain and returned to his tent, his face darkened instantly.

Zong Sheng and Bai Xiqiao had been waiting, seeing Qi Xiao coming back, Zong Sheng immediately greeted him: "Master."

"Why did you run away, where did Tang Ling go?"

"I lost my way, and if you don't come to find me, you will be abducted."

Qi Xiao smiled wryly.

"What's wrong with you?" Bai Xiqiao keenly sensed that something was wrong with Qi Xiao.

Qi Xiao took a deep breath: "We found Lu Xiulin.

Tang Ling found it. "

"What... what... where is the person?"

"right here."

"Is he still in Yuanjing?"

Qi Xiao looked at Baixi Bridge: "Here."

Zong Sheng reacted first: "Baiyan Mountain?"

"He's in Wuchengwei now."

"I'll go look for him tonight!" Bai Xiqiao wished he could go now, but he knew that his status was inconvenient now. Lu Xiulin had been hiding from him for so many years, so he might not be willing to see him, so he might as well visit at night.

Qi Xiao shook his head: "Don't be in a hurry, and look for opportunities when hunting."

"why?"

Qi Xiao said nothing with a sullen face, and poured himself a glass of water.

Bai Xiqiao thought for a while, but still asked in puzzlement, "I shouldn't be discovered when I go out at night, why wait?"

"The camp is heavily guarded, and it's not easy to cause trouble. It's more convenient when hunting."

There are many people in the camp, not only the forbidden army, but also the fifth and seventh, Qi Xiao can't take any risks, not to mention that Tang Ling told him the news about Lu Xiulin, just to see how he would react, maybe Xing Luowei Now Lu Xiulin has his eyes on him.

Qi Xiao believed in Bai Xiqiao's skills, but he didn't believe in Lu Xiulin. If there was any emergency, it would be fine to use his hands during the hunt.

Baixiqiao couldn't refute, so he could only respond.
