Four in the same order

Yifeng County, Jizhou is located in the northwest of Qingyang Kingdom. It takes about one day to go there by golden eagle, and it will take time to investigate the details.Unable to receive new news immediately, Ran Heng settled down and dealt with government affairs and daily life in an orderly manner.

Fortunately, during the waiting period, something happened that comforted Ranheng—Xue Dai learned to act independently after going to the Vientiane Building.

Ranheng didn't know what books Xuedai borrowed from the Vientiane Building with her badge of casual clothes, and Xuedai didn't take the initiative to tell her.It would not be too outrageous to be accompanied by Qu Zhaoye anyway, and she didn't want to show how much she cared about Xue Dai, so she didn't ask each one. She only knew that Xue Dai couldn't put it down for the book she borrowed, and she would rather leave Mei alone. When you go to bed in bed, you have to stay up late to read.

The gatekeeper grass ordered to be prepared was useless, and Ranheng was at ease. Seeing that Xuedai was so diligent and studious, she asked her attendants to reorganize the viewing greenhouse Huaqianshu on the second floor of Kuronglu, and arranged it into an elegant The study room is for Xuedai to read and study, and to take a rest while watching the scenery.

Usually there is no king meeting, so the four kings will meet with their important ministers in the main halls of their respective palaces. On the fifth day, Ranheng listened to the report as usual, made arrangements, and announced his withdrawal from the court. He left the Shaojie Hall and prepared to return. The backyard had breakfast with Xuedai, but when she stepped onto the promenade leading to the backyard, her ring suddenly rang.

"My lord, I have found the news." It was sent by Song Yuan.

Ran Heng's heart skipped a beat, and he waved his hand to make the attendant avoid him: "Report quickly."

"The head of Yifeng County the day before yesterday told Wei Chen that there was a suspected disappearance in Manhua County. After receiving the order from the Lord, Wei Chen rushed to Manhua County overnight with five golden eagle generals to investigate. After learning that a ten-year-old girl surnamed Zheng went to Manhua Mountain alone to pick flowers in the early morning of the [-]rd and lost the news, fearing that the girl would be killed, Weichen ordered the governor of Yifeng County to quickly send people to support him, and then went to the county together with the people of Manhua County A search was carried out on Manhua Mountain."

"Perhaps it was too loud and leaked the news. The officials searched all night and did not make any progress. It wasn't until this morning that I asked the county residents who had worked hard all night to go down the mountain to rest, and to investigate one by one with the rest of the generals. I got a glimpse of the true face of the suspect who came out to look for food..."

When the word "suspect" was mentioned, Song Yuanji, who had been narrating calmly, started to tremble. Ran Heng heard something strange, and quickly asked, "Did the girl be killed? What does the suspect look like?"

"The girl is fine. She led the suspect to the top of the mountain to look for food, because there is only one fruit tree growing on the top of the mountain... and the suspect... the suspect is not like a human..." It seems that he was greatly shocked when he saw the suspect. , Song Yuanji no longer concealed his inner panic.

Ranheng smelled a sense of uneasiness, calmed down, and asked, "Is it a vicious beast... or a ferocious beast?"

Evil beasts, ferocious beasts, strange beasts, and rare beasts are just names decided by the world for the convenience of distinguishing. They are all birds and beasts with intelligence in essence. The only difference lies in whether they are common and the degree of benefit or harm. high and low.

And if it was an evil beast with insufficient lethality, why did Song Yuanji, the commander of the Indigo Dragon Guard, panic so much? The answer is already self-evident.

"...It's a ferocious beast."

Finally heard the answer that she didn't want to hear, Ran Heng took a deep breath, closed her eyes and said calmly: "... What kind of beast?"

"Red head... rat eyes... wolf body... dolphin sound..."

"--Is this really true?!"

However, Song Yuan sent his stuttering description, which still caused Ran Heng to open his eyes in shock.

Because of this ferocious beast, Ranheng had heard about it a long time ago: Is this Xixi? !

But wasn’t Xixi burned to death ten years ago? !

Xuedai had a very fulfilling life in the past two days. The eaves hall on the top floor of the Vientiane Building helped her open a door to a new world. There were so many precious books in the hall. Beads, treasure hunting in Wenshan, benefited a lot.

Although she has been staying in Kurong Lu for the past two days and repeatedly studied "Taiyi Fierce Beast Record", trying to feel Ranheng's mood, but having memorized all the contents of the Fierce Beast Record, she has decided that after today, she will soak in the sea of ​​books in Vientiane Building During the process, learn more necessary knowledge, so that Ranheng can impress her as soon as possible.

In order to prevent Ranheng from finding out what book she was reading, Xuedai had been hiding from Ranheng for two consecutive days. Seeing that she was about to be liberated, and returned to Lanqizhu to sleep with Ranheng, she was so excited that she stayed up all night. Even earlier, he sat by the window of Huaqianshu, watching Ranheng return from the court.

After staring at him for half an hour, he finally saw Ran Heng's figure, but today Ran Heng was followed by a group of guards, and they were not wearing the official uniform she had put on when she left, which was extremely unusual.

Isn't that what sister Qu is wearing?

Feeling that the clothes that Ran Heng changed were quite familiar, Xue Dai looked at them again and found something strange, and the guards behind Ran Heng were not someone else, but they changed into their own casual clothes and escorted Ran Heng's official uniform back to Kurong Lu's song shines at night.

What happened?

Ranheng was still wearing a green phoenix cloak on his back. Xuedai recalled that when she asked Qu Zhaoye about the attire of Commander Qu Zhaoye, she heard Qu Zhaoye's words, "short skirt for patrol, cloak for expedition". Uneasy, she immediately lifted the hem of her skirt, ran out of Hua Qianshu, and ran downstairs.

"Ranheng... you... where are you going?"

Today Xuedai changed into a floral white veil dress, but because she was flustered, when she ran in front of Ran Heng, the plain white dress she was wearing was already stained with bumps and stains.

When Ran Heng saw Xue Dai running towards her, she told the guards behind her to speed up, and hurried to the exit of the bamboo forest, but when she saw Xue Dai bending over and panting in front of her in a state of embarrassment, she couldn't help but frowned. Mei: "Run so fast, what if I fall?"

What Xuedai hates the most is Ran Heng who doesn't want to answer her questions directly, but after hearing this, she grabs the cold wrist armor that Ran Heng is wearing, looks up and shouts: "...answer my question first!"

Ran Heng and the group of Jifeng guards who had just caught up to Ran Heng's footsteps were stunned by Xue Dai's roar.Ranheng was the first to come back to her senses. She looked at Xuedai's bright eyes full of stubbornness, sighed secretly, and then said in a soft tone: "I have something to go out for a few days, and I will accompany you these days and nights."

"I don't want her to accompany me!"

Although I am very sorry for Qu Zhaoye, Xue Dai, who was expecting to sleep with Ranheng tomorrow night, became angry when she heard that Ranheng was going to leave alone for several days: it seemed that she was the only one who cared about their time together Same!

"Ma'am, the lord is out on a tour, not for pleasure, I hope Madam will understand."

Qu Zhaoye, who was behind Ran Heng, was shot for no reason, but had to speak out to save the siege for his country's lord.

Xue Dai turned her face and refused to recognize anyone, and asked in a cold voice: "Why do you wear your armor when you go out on a tour?"

She knew that Qu Zhaoye had a good status, but she could guess from the address that Ranheng was the most powerful person. If Ranheng was going out to visit normally, why would she change into an outfit that was inferior to her? Ranheng was visiting in private, let alone Qu Zhaoye's phoenix-patterned bamboo armor.

"—Howling!"

Qu Zhaoye wanted to help Ranheng out of the siege but was stopped by Xuedai. When he was nervously trying to make amends, he heard the chirping of eagles from the sky. Looking up, he saw dozens of armored golden eagles walking from the sky. Flying from the southern sky, I was secretly happy: the savior is here!

The armored golden eagles are Indigo Dragon Guard beasts. At this time, apart from the leading golden eagle, each golden eagle carries two soldiers. One is the Indigo Dragon Guard male general who indicates the golden eagle's flight route and charges into battle, and the other is the Indigo Dragon Guard. The female general of Jifengwei who carried the deed animal ear mouse to investigate and treat.

And at the forefront of the dozens of golden eagles, serving as the pass to Qingyang Palace, is Ranheng's Royal Beast Queen Sparrow.

Time to go.Ran Heng's eyes narrowed.

She returned to Kuronglu to take away the soldier talisman, but seeing Xuedai's agitation, and remembering that Xixi would lose her breath when there were many people, she changed her decision temporarily, pointing at the emperor's bird, and coaxed Xuedai: "If you If you don’t like Zhao Ye’s company, how about I let Que’er accompany you?”

Ranheng has experienced it personally, and naturally understands that the first few days before the transformation were the most turbulent period in her heart. Once she leaves, there will be no familiar people around Xuedai, but if the imperial daughter who loves to play with Xuedai is left behind, maybe It can relieve the anxiety in Xue Dai's heart.

Seeing a large group of people flying from the sky in great force, Xue Dai had to admit that the situation would not change no matter how unwilling she was, and Ranheng had to leave no matter what.The gentler Ranheng's attitude was, the more Xuedai felt that she was making trouble for no reason. She felt ashamed, and her anger subsided. After a soft 'hmm', she withdrew her slender hand that was attached to Ranheng's wrist armor. Drooping his head out of the way.

Seeing Xuedai's depressed look like being reprimanded by her parents, Ranheng's heart softened, and she stretched out her hand to rub Xuedai's drooping head, then smiled lightly: "Good boy, I will bring you a gift when I come back .”

"I just want you to come back earlier..." Xuedai replied with her head buried in a muffled voice.

"I will." If the trap goes well.

The leading golden eagle had already descended into the air with the emperor's bird. Ranheng took the colorful plume helmet and Jifeng bow from Qu Zhaoye, put her on after wearing it, and put her on the dragon's chant in Zhuyizhai. Suo Huan came and hung it next to the quiver at his waist, then turned his head and emphasized: "Zhao Ye, take care of Madam. If you have any doubts, you should first consult Bi Jin, who has been handling the government affairs for me these days. Use the ring with caution to contact me."

If you want to catch a fierce beast, you must be surprised. If the plan is broken by an inadvertent commandment, everything will fall short.Qu Zhaoye nodded in agreement, and then paid attention to see Ran Heng off.

After finishing all the instructions, Ranheng didn't delay any longer, stretched his muscles and bones, then flew up the bamboo leaf ladder made of zhenqi, and ran towards the emperor bird in mid-air.

He ran to the emperor's bird, and whispered a few words to the emperor's bird, then stepped beside the god's bird with only a leading golden eagle carrying a golden general, and soared into the sky.

It wasn't until the emperor's bird landed on her shoulders that Xuedai accepted the reality, raised her head high, and watched the golden eagle on which Ran Heng was riding led dozens of armored golden eagles flying towards the east.

After the golden eagle disappeared, Xuedai walked sideways to Qu Zhaoye again, and asked with a smile: "Commander Qu, can you follow me to the Muchun Hall?"

Xuedai's smile was still pleasant, but Qu Zhaoye felt a chill down her spine for no reason, she hurriedly excused herself by Ran Heng's instructions: "During the time the lord is out on a tour, I must not be alone with my wife."

Xue Dai's smile grew stronger when she heard this, she turned her head to look at the imperial daughter Que on her right shoulder, and asked softly, "Where do you put Que'er?"

Seeing the emperor's sparrow blowing hair instantly and neighing around him, Qu Zhaoye cried out in pain.

The Lord's savior has come, but her savior is gone.
