Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty

Li Mingda said goodbye to Li Shimin immediately.

Seeing her leaving in a hurry, Li Shimin hurriedly ordered again: "Be careful when you go out at night."

Li Mingda agreed, waved to Li Shimin and left.

Li Shimin picked up the pen, but after thinking about it, he was still worried. After putting down the pen, he ordered Zhou Changhuai, the third-rank guard who had been by his side all the time, to take someone to protect the princess himself.

Li Mingda and Cheng Chubi rode out of the palace, and then saw Zhou Changhuai followed with a group of people.

Zhou Changhuai was about to dismount with his subordinates to salute and explain the situation, when suddenly he heard the princess say "no need, let's go quickly".Zhou Changhuai didn't say anything, and led his subordinates to follow the princess.

When the group arrived at Qujiang Village, they saw many people lined up at the entrance of the village carrying lanterns, and a person was kneeling in the middle of the road, his arms were bound and he couldn't move at all.The man lowered his head and said nothing.

Fang Yi was wearing a black robe, and stood not far in front of him with his hands behind his back, Xiao Shuxuan raised his hands, as if he wanted to blend into the night.Seeing Li Mingda and others arriving, he slowly stepped forward and saluted gently.

Li Mingda jumped off the horse, looked at Fang Yizhi with a smile, said that he had worked hard, and then looked at the kneeling man in the middle of the road.

"Is he a water ghost?"

As soon as Li Mingda finished speaking, Yuchi Baoqi came over on a horse.

Li Mingda had heard the sound of horseshoes a long time ago, so he was not surprised that he came, and continued to look at the water ghost.

Fang Yizhi also directly ignored Yuchi Baoqi, and replied to Li Mingda as usual: "It should be."

After Fang Yi said it straight, he motioned for the people around him to present it.

Li Mingda turned his head to look, and saw a mask with hair on his head and two horns on top of his head.

Look at the thing that the man is wearing, like a cloak, a large piece of shiny black hair, it looks like a bear skin stitched together.

If this person wears a mask like that, and then wears this kind of long-haired cloak, walking on the street in the middle of the night, it will be a little scary.

Li Mingda made the 'water ghost' look up.

"He painted his eyes red." Fang Yizhi whispered to Li Mingda in advance.

Yuchi Baoqi also walked over with a smile at this time, and after looking at the bear skin and the hood, he laughed: "It turns out that this water ghost is really a person in disguise."

"Ah——" Yuchi Baoqi was startled by the sudden raised head of the 'water ghost' before the smile on the corner of Yuchi Baoqi's mouth could be restrained.With blood-red eyes and a black mouth, it really looks like a devil coming out of the underworld.

Yuchi Baoqi hugged her chest for a moment, and confirmed again and again that the 'water ghost' had a shadow, and it was indeed a human being. Then her complexion improved a little, she coughed, and turned her head to look elsewhere.

Li Mingda and Fang Yizhi looked away from Yuchi Baoqi, and then looked at the water ghost again.

'Water Ghost' opened his eyes and looked at Li Mingda. After looking up and down, he stared at Li Mingda's chest.

Seeing this, Tian Hanxi was so angry that he waved his hands and slapped the 'water ghost' twice.

The water ghost was laughed at, with a wide grin, showing a bright red tongue, and his darkened lips, it looked really scary.

The 'Water Ghost' looked at Li Mingda happily, his eyes glowing, like a wolf that was very hungry and excited when it finally saw its prey, "It's a princess, it's a princess, you really are a princess..."

Li Mingda looked at Fang Yizhi.

"After being arrested, I felt that something was wrong with what he said, but I didn't know whether he was really pretending to be stupid or pretending to be stupid. What does the princess think?" Fang Yi asked directly.

Li Mingda looked at the expression of this 'water ghost', his eyes were distracted, the corners of his mouth sometimes twitched and sometimes pulled down, there was nothing to hide in his eyes.

"Like a fool."

Li Mingda was a little disappointed, and then she asked Fang Yizhi if he could block Qujiang Village and Qujiang Pond after catching the water ghost.

Fang Yi nodded straight, "It is expected that he will have accomplices. As soon as the water ghost appeared, he immediately sent a message to everyone to block all the exits near Qujiang Pond."

Yuchi Baoqi suddenly remembered something, and interjected, "Didn't you say that the murderer who killed the two Taoist priests was probably a woman? How could this be a man, and he was also a fool."

"I just said that there are accomplices. I think you are really scared out of your head by the 'ghost'." Li Mingda joked.

Yuchi Baoqi laughed embarrassingly, and he also felt that he was really a little scared.

"What's your name?" Li Mingda asked the 'water ghost'.

'Water Ghost' laughed again with bright eyes, twisted his bound body, and headed towards Li Mingda. "Princess, you are a princess...A Niu is really amazing, I saw the princess."

Li Mingda felt that although this 'water ghost' called Aniu was stupid, he was still a bit sane. At least when he saw him, he could tell that it was the princess. Someone must have said something to him earlier.

"How do you know that I must be a princess?" Li Mingda tentatively asked him, his voice soft.

"My sister said that I meet a lot of people at night. When there is a big fight, if there is a woman in it, then it must be the princess. Hello princess, the princess is pure and clean, no one has touched her before, she is high above you," A Niu said. He stared at Li Mingda and drooled.

Seeing this, Tian Hanxi couldn't help but wanted to kick him again, but was stopped by Li Mingda.

"So your name is A Niu, so what's your sister's name?" Li Mingda continued to ask.

"A Niu's sister, Ah Niu's sister is called..." A Niu raised his head and blinked his eyes, and laughed, drooling even more, "Sister A Niu won't let A Niu tell anyone casually."

"I'm not someone else. Didn't you recognize me just now? I'm a princess, how can the princess be someone else." Li Mingda smiled and said to A Niu.

A Niu looked at Li Mingda in a daze, with his mouth half-opened, a little bewildered.His eyes were blank, and he didn't blink for a long time.

Just when everyone was wondering if this fool had made some mistake, Ah Niu laughed.

"Sweet, sweet..." A Niu was still staring at Li Mingda's face, more precisely, he was staring at Li Mingda's mouth, and kept calling Tian.

"What does this mean?" Yuchi Baoqi asked puzzled.

Fang Yi looked at that Niu coldly, and his voice became even colder, "He must be saying that the princess's smile is very sweet."

"That's right, I didn't expect this idiot to be quite discerning." Yuchi Baoqi looked at the idiot puzzledly, "Hmph, but who cares about his appreciation."

"Instinct." Even a fool can see the beauty of the princess, which just shows that she is really good.

Li Mingda winked at Tian Hanshan and asked him to bring some of the snacks he brought to A Niu.

Wearing a bearskin and wearing a hood in the middle of the night, he must be hungry.

Sure enough, Ah Niu went crazy when he saw these exquisite palace dim sum, shaking his body, bared his teeth and opened his mouth to eat.

"This idiot has brute force." Fang Yizhi immediately asked his subordinates to feed him, and he must not let this idiot loose.

A Niu ate eight yuan in a row, his cheeks were swollen, he couldn't get down, and finally fell into the water and finally got down.

After eating and drinking enough, the idiot laughed even harder, and his eyes on Li Mingda shone even brighter.But compared to the wretched smile before, he smiled a little more sincerely this time.

"Can you tell me who your elder sister is now?" Li Mingda asked.

A Niu thought for a while, then nodded, "A Niu can tell the princess, but not them, hehe, hehe..."

"Okay." Li Mingda stretched out his hand, motioning everyone to back off.

A Niu stretched his neck with a smile, and said to Li Mingda: "A Niu's elder sister is called A Hua, and she is as beautiful as a flower. Hand in hand, he also said that as long as A Niu listens to her, he will have delicious food and drink, and he can also do shameful things with her. Princess, you are good to A Niu, and you also give A Niu food. After that, A Niu Listen to your words, will you do embarrassing things with Ah Niu?"

"What nonsense are you talking, how dare you offend the princess like this. Come here, Guard Cheng, kill him! Cut him to pieces!" Although everyone retreated a little, Tian Hanshan was different, he was the princess's close attendant, stayed relatively close.Hearing that Ah Niu said such obscene and shameless words to the princess, his face was flushed with anger, and the veins in his neck burst out.

Cheng Chubi immediately rushed up with the knife in his hand, his face full of murderous intent.

Ah Niu had never seen such a vicious and angry person, Ah Niu was so frightened that he shook his body and screamed loudly. "I won't play with you guys anymore, let me go, let me go, I won't play anymore!"

Cheng Chubi saw that he was going mad and shaking, worried that he would accidentally hurt the princess who was not far away from him, so he hurriedly ordered two subordinates to control him.

Instead, Li Mingda took a few steps closer, approaching A Niu, and asked him if there was anything else he wanted to tell him.But because A Niu was frightened, he didn't care about it in panic, and just struggled and screamed.

"My lord, be careful." Yuchi Baoqi yelled worriedly, and rushed over with one stride.

Fang Yizhi didn't move, he glanced at Yuchi Baoqi who was leaving in a panic, and then looked at Li Mingda inside.Sure enough, as he expected, the princess reached out her hand to stop Yuchi Baoqi.Seeing that the princess deliberately approached Ah Niu with a serious expression, she must have found some clues on Ah Niu.

Fang Yi watched Li Mingda distance himself from A Niu before he walked forward and asked the princess what he had found in a low voice.

"He has long hair like a woman's, and it smells very light of powder," Li Mingda recalled carefully. "I've smelled this powder before. It has a little scent of sweet-scented osmanthus, but it's not commonly used by women in Chang'an City."

"Slow down, the more anxious you are, the harder it will be to figure it out." Fang Yi advised directly.

Li Mingda nodded, then looked at the crazy A Niu over there, and sighed: "It seems that there is nothing to ask."

Fang Yizhi immediately ordered his subordinates to temporarily escort A Niu to the Heshen Temple for guarding, and then escort him to Dali Temple when everyone retreats together.

"Go to the riverside and have a look." Since the whole water ghost incident happened around Qujiang Pond, it is very necessary to check the situation by the riverside, maybe there may be some clues.

Cheng Chubi took the lead to lead a group of people forward, and when the princess and others arrived, there were already guards carrying lanterns by the river, and they would pick one every two or three feet away.

Li Mingda rode his horse and kept slowing down, running along the river. After running on the other side of the river, Li Mingda crossed the bridge and went to the other side. , Suddenly someone shouted: "There are water marks here!"

Li Mingda, Fang Yizhi and others rode over immediately, and sure enough, they saw some wet watermarks on the stone road by the bank.Looking towards the bank along these watermarks, it can be seen that the soil on the river bank is also wet, but the traces are messed up by the messy shoe prints.Look at the stones on the river bank again, some moss-covered stones have been trampled over again.

This river beach is not like the gazebo of the river temple. There is no grass on the bank, only tall and thick weeping willows, and some stones. It should be because tourists who used to come here to enjoy the scenery often walked here.

Li Mingda looked at the trunk of the willow tree closest to this place, and it seemed to have scratches.When I walked in and looked carefully, it was confirmed that there was something like a rope tied to the tree to cause the scratch.

Fang Yizhi, Yuchi Baoqi and the others came over to look at it at this time, and after careful identification, they found the scratches.

Fang Yi reminded Li Mingda: "If I remember correctly, those two Taoist priests set up the incense table over there, and it is only twenty or thirty feet away from here."

Li Mingda turned around and picked up a lantern to shine on the river, "The water here is so deep that it doesn't seem to bottom out."

"It's very deep. I remember hearing people say that there are a few places by the river that are big deep pits. People have fallen into such places before. Because the water is too deep to rescue them, they will disappear in sight." Yuchi Baoqi said.

Li Mingda silently looked at the river and thought for a while, then ordered: "Get two bamboo poles."

The guard complied and immediately rode away.

Everyone is waiting on the shore for the time being.

The autumn evening wind was a bit chilly, Tian Hanshan hurriedly fetched a fox-collared cloak and put it on for the princess.

Someone else made hot tea and brought it over, and prepared hot goat's milk for everyone to drink.Both Li Mingda and Fang Yizhi chose to drink green tea.Yuchi Baoqi felt that it was fresh, so she asked for a cup to taste it, but found that it was not sencha, nor did it have any flavoring like ginger candy.But the amazing thing is that after taking a few sips, I feel that my lips and teeth are fragrant, and there is a special faint fragrance.

Yuchi Baoqi couldn't help liking it, poured a second cup and continued drinking.

"If you just drink this, don't drink too much, or you won't be able to sleep well at night." Fang Yizhi reminded Yuchi Baoqi friendly.

Yuchi Baoqi smiled and said: "The tea that your lord rewarded is worth it even if you drink it for three years without sleeping."

After Yuchi Baoqi finished speaking, he drank the tea in the cup in one gulp.After drinking, he closed his mouth tightly, with a painful look on his face.

Fang Yizhi and Li Mingda both looked at him.

Yuchi Baoqi was still holding back, but couldn't help it anymore, turned around as if pretending to watch the scenery with his hands behind his back, then opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue, taking a sneaky breath.

Hot, almost burned him to death!

Li Mingda naturally heard Yuchi Baoqi's cold breathing, and couldn't help pursing his lips and laughing.Fang Yi knew that the tea would be hot when he saw him eagerly drinking the tea, so he laughed too.

Only Yuchi Baoqi was carrying the two of them behind her back, and she still felt that she had endured it very well, fortunately she was not ashamed, fortunately she was not discovered.

Yuchi Baoqi immediately turned around, unfolded her fan, smiled warmly, and looked calm and calm.

Li Mingda glanced at him and deliberately asked him how his day was.

"It's okay, it's okay, thank you princess for your concern." Yuchi Baoqi felt a little embarrassed when she heard that the princess cared about him.

Li Mingda beckoned and told Yuchi Baoqi to come closer, and then signaled the guards to back off,

Yuchi Baoqi felt that the princess must have something very important to say to him, and while his heart was beating violently, many thoughts and possibilities popped up at the same time.Of course Yuchi Baoqi hoped that things would follow the possibility he most hoped for, so his face became a little hot as he walked.Looking at the princess who is getting closer and closer to him, Yuchi Baoqi feels more and more the beauty of the princess, her face is as gorgeous as she is, her appearance is quiet and her body is leisurely. There should be no woman in this world who can compare to him, at least in his eyes , it must be so.

When Yuchi Baoqi walked in front of Li Mingda, her heart was already in her throat.

Fang Yi was not far away, looking sideways at them, his eyes sank slightly, and immediately there was some displeasure spreading undisguisedly.

Luo Ge followed Zai Dalang, suddenly felt a little chilly, and turned to look at Dalang, his black eyes leaked out the hostility that seemed to swallow the entire night.

What's wrong with Da Lang? He was envied and calculated by his peers before, and he has never seen Da Lang like this before.Today, he was enjoying the shade by the river at night, and Da Lang was smiling nicely just a moment ago, why is he so angry at this moment?

Luo Ge moved his mind, followed Da Lang's gaze towards the princess and Yuchi Baoqi, and was startled.

Li Mingda immediately called Chang Huaiyuan over, and said to Yuchi Baoqi in a low voice, "From tonight onwards, he will be responsible for your safety. Guard Chang is the most trusted expert around the saint, and he will choose the best subordinates." secretly protect you."

Yuchi Baoqi was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that the princess asked him to come here mysteriously, in order to explain the follow-up of the case of the death of the princess of the country of Wa.

Li Mingda immediately told Chang Huaiyuan, "Be sure not to make any noise and be discovered."

Chang Huaiyuan took orders immediately.

Li Mingda turned to look at Yuchi Baoqi staring ahead dully, thinking that Yuchi Baoqi was worried about his safety as a "bait", waved his hand, and sent the idlers away, so he whispered to him to rest assured, there is a palace The master guards in the middle guarded him secretly, so nothing major would happen.

Yuchi Baoqi was startled, actually...he wasn't worried about this, his father, Yuchi Gong, was also a general galloping on the battlefield, and now he was just being a bait, so why not be afraid.Even if he was asked to serve the country and fight against the enemy, he was doomed to die, and he, Yuchi Baoqi, would never say anything else.

"My lord, actually I..."

"Huh?" Li Mingda turned to look at him.

Yuchi Baoqi looked at the people present, and felt that it was unnecessary for him to entangle with the princess at such a time. After all, the princess made such an order because she was worried about him.He should happily receive the princess's kindness, so he smiled and shook his head and said it was all right.

At this time, the guard rode a horse and grabbed some bamboo poles.Li Mingda asked people to tie two bamboo poles together, and then he personally grabbed the bamboo poles and explored into the river.

Then it can be seen that most of the bamboo poles have not entered the water.

When the bamboo pole reached the bottom of the river, Li Mingda poked back and forth in the same place a few times, then changed places and continued poking, with his ears facing the direction of the river, listening to the sound.After repeating this a few times, Li Mingda moved forward a little bit, continued like this, and then tried going backwards, and then handed the bamboo pole to Tian Hanshan who was beside him.

Tian Hanshan was also curious, so he poked along, only to feel that he just hit the bottom of the river, nothing special.

"There is something in the river, it's too late today, wait until dawn before sending someone to salvage it, be careful." Li Mingda gave Fang Yi straight instructions, and then got on the horse, "It should be like this tonight, the water ghost must be there Friends. Niu is a fool, it is impossible to accomplish anything. He must be a chess piece that is pushed out to attract attention and can be discarded at any time. These people sent Niu to be a "water ghost", which is a good way to make a difference. On the one hand, it can drive away The idlers on the street at night, on the one hand, spread the theory of water ghosts, which can scare the common people, and they will not dare to go out at night, which makes it easier for them to move around."

"The undried water marks on the road should be proof that they failed in their operation just now. If there is no accident, I guess these people who just acted have been hiding nearby before they could escape. There are more than [-] people in Qujiang Village. They are most likely hiding in it. Continue to block all exits, and starting tomorrow, Dali Temple will cooperate with Jingzhao government officials to investigate the situation of every household in Qujiang Village." Li Mingda continued to order.

Everyone is busy taking orders.

Li Mingda turned around and said to Fang Yizhi, Yuchi Baoqi and others: "That's the end of those few days, we will meet here tomorrow morning."

Fang Yi directly bowed to Li Mingda, saying that he would leave later, and he would take the people from Dali Temple to inspect the blocked intersections to see if there were any mistakes.

Yuchi Baoqi hurriedly said: "Then I will escort the princess back to the palace."

Fang Yi looked straight at him and nodded.

Li Mingda: "That's not necessary, I already have many guards around me."

Yuchi Baoqi hurriedly cupped his hands and said that this is what he should do as a courtier.Besides, he wanted to take away some of the guards brought by the princess, and if he troubled these people to protect him, then the number of escorting the princess back to the palace would inevitably decrease.In the middle of the night, Yuchi Baoqi was very worried, so she insisted on sending it off.

Seeing Yuchi Baoqi looking at Chang Huaiyuan, Li Mingda hesitated to speak, and probably guessed what Yuchi Baoqi meant.He probably felt uneasy because he felt that he was going to take away some of the guards around her.

"Forget it, I won't stop your loyalty."

Yuchi Baoqi was happy, got on the horse immediately, followed closely behind the princess with his entourage, and waved goodbye to Fang Yizhi specially before leaving.

Fang Yizhi nodded his head slightly, Mo Ruheiye's eyes unexpectedly showed a very strong intention of probing.

Fang Yi folded his hands behind his back, watching the princess and Yuchi Baoqi go away, then turned around and asked the people around him to go.

Once the group of people entered Chang'an City, they felt more and more the silence around them.

Chang'an City has always implemented a curfew, ordinary people are not allowed to travel at night and appear on the street without permission.If someone is disobedient and dares to wander the streets at night, it is because of this that the guards patrolling the city will find him and kill him with a knife, so there is no reason to say anything.The rules are like this, and the law is like this. There is no reason to say this, and it must be followed.Therefore, people who can walk on Chang'an Avenue at night must be special people with permission orders.

Now the street is so quiet that only the sound of horseshoes can be heard.The speed of the group of horses was not very fast. Yuchi Baoqi felt that if they didn't say anything, the atmosphere seemed a little awkward. He was thinking about what topic to start with. When chatting with the princess, the princess actually talked to him first.

Yuchi Baoqi's heart beat violently again.

"Don't be afraid of ghosts." Li Mingda tilted his head and persuaded Yuchi Baoqi, "There are really no ghosts in this world, so I won't lie to you."

Yuchi Baoqi was startled, then blinked and looked at the princess.Originally, he had prepared many words of response in his stomach. No matter what the princess said, he was confident that he would be able to answer without any mistakes.

But... when it comes to ghosts...

Yuchi Baoqi's head went blank for a moment, not knowing what to answer, and finally she blushed and said "hmm" in embarrassment.

"You do not believe?"

"Believe, from now on, as long as the princess believes in something, Baoqi will believe it, firmly believe it." Yuchi Baoqi said firmly.

Li Mingda felt that Yuchi Baoqi would say such "Cheng Chubi"-like words, which was a bit interesting, so he couldn't help laughing.In a blink of an eye, he looked at Cheng Chubi behind him, but he had a straight face, expressionless as usual.

Yuchi Baoqi also laughed and nodded slightly, a little embarrassed.

After that, he was silent all the way, and he was almost at Chengtianmen in a blink of an eye.

It's not that Yuchi Baoqi doesn't want to talk, he has a lot of things he wants to say.But I don't know why, in the past, his casual words could make those girls laugh, and those Yingying and Yanyan liked to talk to him very much, and they wanted to stick to him.But now when he was facing the princess, he couldn't say anything, he could only look at the back of the princess, and he was so anxious that his palms were sweating.

Yuchi Baoqi lowered her head in frustration, it was rare for her to reflect on herself, and realized that she was a bit useless.

In front of Chengtianmen, the princess's horse stopped.

Yuchi Baoqi hastily followed suit and grabbed the rein.Yuchi Baoqi thought for a while, and hurriedly told the princess that he planned to leave tomorrow.The water ghost case felt that he hadn't done much help, so since he can contribute to the case of the Japanese princess, he must finish it as soon as possible.

Li Mingda smiled and nodded, admiring Yuchi Baoqi for being like his father.

Yuchi Baoqi immediately got off the horse, clasped her hands together, and watched the princess go to Chengtian Gate.But seeing the figure of the princess about to pass the Chengtian Gate, Yuchi Baoqi couldn't control herself for some reason, and shouted: "My lord!"

This shout was a bit loud and clear, which attracted everyone's attention.Even the city guards guarding the gate of Chengtianmen, who were used to loading wood all the year round, all moved their eyeballs and looked at Yuchi Baoqi with concern.

Yuchi Baoqi blushed, and then scolded herself eight hundred times in her heart.What happened to him just now, how could he yell out, and he yelled so loudly...

Li Mingda walked over again and asked Yuchi Baoqi if there was anything he forgot to mention.

The princess was very easy-going, with a smile on her face, because she didn't feel offended by what she just yelled.

The princess is really a good person, her smile is so beautiful, it amazes everything in the world.Like a peony flower that is blooming, it opens little by little from the tip of his heart, and every petal that blooms affects his heart.

"Baoqi..." Yuchi Baoqi hesitated in his words, he raised his eyes and saw that they collided with the princess's clear eyes, shining like stars.Yuchi Baoqi frowned, his mouth was dry, and he clenched his fists.

"Do you have anything to say?" Li Mingda asked.

Yuchi Baoqi pursed her lips, lowered her head, and immediately knelt down.

Li Mingda looked at him in surprise, "Yuchi Baoqi, what's wrong with you?"

Yuchi Baoqi cupped his hands, lowered his head deeply, "My lord, Baoqi..."

Yuchi Baoqi's heart skipped a beat, and she said the second half of the sentence with trembling lips, "To you... I wish you a good night's sleep."

"Okay, you too, but you don't have to be so serious in the future." Li Mingda laughed, then waved his hand, telling Yuchi Baoqi to leave quickly.

Yuchi Baoqi agreed, but he still knelt, seeing the princess entered the Chengtian Gate, his whole tense body finally relaxed, and he let out a big sigh of relief.Then his whole body went limp, and he simply sat down on the ground and took a rest.

The guards of Chengtianmen moved their eyeballs for this, and looked at Yuchi Baoqi with strange eyes.

Duofu then went to help his husband get up.

Yuchi Baoqi shook his legs, leaned on Duofu's shoulder, and finally stood up straight. After reaching out, he led the horse and walked back in a somewhat distraught state.

Duo Fu leaned over to his own Erlang, "Erlang, you suddenly said that you broke up with those little ladies, maybe it was because of the golden branch and jade leaf in the palace."

"I want you, Hu Qin."

Duofu: "Erlang is not bad in terms of family background, talent and learning, and he has such a cute and handsome appearance. You are really worthy of the princess, so why bother to panic like just now? This is not what Erlang used to be. look."

"I am worthy of a princess like this, but I may not be worthy of this princess." Yuchi Baoqi frowned, looked up at the stars in the sky and sighed, and then sighed, "I used to think that as long as I have a sky full of stars It’s enough, there are many tricks, and I am at ease. Only now do I know that I am dedicated to the beauty of the bright moon.”

"But I also lost my freedom." Duofu said.

Yuchi Baoqi glared at him, "You shouldn't be called Duofu, you should be called Duozui."

Duo Fu pursed his lips, and then looked helplessly at Yuchi Baoqi, "It's really not that I want to talk too much, but Erlang's performance just now was really not good, the princess is so popular, if Erlang can't express himself well, how can the princess turn her attention away from Fang Shizi?" Move it over to you, Erlang."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Fang Shizi, he doesn't like princesses." Yuchi Baoqi resolutely affirmed, and then told Duofu what he confirmed that day, "It just so happened that you didn't realize that you had a stomachache that day."

"It's so, I really don't like it? But what do I see—" Duofu smacked his lips, "That may be Nudo's overthinking."

"Sigh." Yuchi Baoqi didn't want to talk to Duofu, but was worried, she was nervous when facing the princess like this, when would she be able to express her affection smoothly.

It's too uncomfortable to hold back like this all the time.

"Erlang, don't worry, it's better to think about it carefully and find the most appropriate time to say it." Duo Fu paused, and then suggested, "But Erlang can't just say it casually like just now, there must be a reason , It’s unclear, but it’s kind of interesting, well, get ready.”

"Since when did you know so much?" Yuchi Baoqi asked in surprise.

Duofu chuckled, "Erlang taught them all. I usually see how Erlang treats those ladies. Duofu can learn something."

"Heh, it's ironic to learn from me and now teach me instead." Yuchi Baoqi curled her lips, got on her horse and ran home, not wanting to see Fang Yizhi at the gate of the house.

With his hands behind his back, he was standing in front of the main gate of Yuchi's Mansion, accompanied by the guards very politely. The gate of Yuchi's Mansion was open, and the people in his mansion should have invited him, but he didn't Enter.

Yuchi Baoqi looked at Fang Yizhi's back standing with his hands behind his back, under the night, there was an inexplicable feeling of loneliness and coldness.

Yuchi Baoqi blinked, and rode fast forward, then jumped off the horse, and asked Fang Yizhi with a smile why he was looking for him, why he didn't go into the mansion and so on.

"If you have a few words, just say it and leave." Fang Yi said straight.

"What?" Yuchi Baoqi asked.

"Stop worrying about Princess Shang Jinyang." Fang Yi said nonchalantly a word that made Yuchi Baoqi suddenly feel thunderous.

Yuchi Baoqi was puzzled and embarrassed for a long time, and then asked Fang Yizhi in amazement why.

Fang Yizhi didn't answer Yuchi Baoqi immediately, but stared at Yuchi Baoqi for a long time with his dark eyes like midnight.

The night sinks like water, and the hatchback confronts each other.

"You didn't deny it, it means that you really like Princess Jinyang." After a long time, Fang Yizhi said such a sentence.

Yuchi Baoqi was stunned for a moment, and said in a panic, "Actually... I..."

Fang Yi listened to his nervous words, and stared at the past again with dark eyes.

After Yuchi Baoqi's complexion changed countless times, she finally made a resignation, "I like her."

"How much do you like it? How long have you liked it?"

Yuchi Baoqi thought about it, but didn't know how to describe the depth, she just said that it was just a few days ago when she made up her mind to say goodbye to those confidantes.

"If you insist, I won't stop it. But I must make it clear to you that she is not suitable for you." Fang Yizhi immediately got on the horse and said to Yuchi Baoqi, "I don't want you to do this either. And hurt."

Yuchi Baoqi looked at Fang Yi in a daze, unable to digest his words.Fang Yizhi's speech has always been gentle and his tone is indifferent, but this does not affect the restrained momentum behind his words.

When Yuchi Baoqi realized and wanted to ask why, there was a sound of horseshoes, and Fang Yi had already gone.Soon his figure disappeared, disappearing into the night.

"Why do you say that?" Yuchi Baoqi looked at the direction where Fang Yi had disappeared, and asked a belated question.

Duofu: "Fang Shizi is a little strange today, but compared to Erlang's strangeness, he is more normal. Thinking carefully about what he said to Erlang, there is some truth to it. I also think that Erlang may not be suitable to be with her."

"Why?" Yuchi Baoqi asked puzzled.

"Because since Erlang liked her, Erlang is no longer Erlang, and even slaves almost don't know you." Duofu honestly expressed his worries.

"But I like myself like this. As I said, my heart is for the beauty of the bright moon, which is unrivaled." Yuchi Baoqi looked at the direction where Fang Yizhi disappeared, and said firmly, "No one can stop me in this matter. It will definitely go all the way to the dark."

"Erlang is imposing!" Duofu praised, and then said boldly that he would redouble his efforts in the future to facilitate the good things between Erlang and the princess.

"Your face changed quite quickly. Just a moment ago, you said that I was not suitable for her."

"I think Fang Shizi's words make sense, but I know better that I have all the reasons and Erlang here, Erlang will do whatever he says." Duo Fubiao said determinedly.

Yuchi Baoqi was overjoyed, rubbed his hands together, and then excitedly discussed with Duofu how to express his affection to the princess.Should I write a letter, or speak in person...

"It's more sincere to say it in person." Duofu thought for a while, and then said, "Erlang can take advantage of some parting opportunities to say something from the bottom of his heart, and then express his affection to the princess by the way. For example, 'I'm leaving, I don't know what When the time comes back, something has to be said 'this kind.'

"Where did you learn this?" Yuchi Baoqi asked in surprise.

Duofu: "Erlang forgot again, this is what you said to Fengyuelou Miao Feifei when you left Chang'an City a few months ago. The sensationalist at that time, I was so moved that I burst into tears."

"No, those jokes back then are not worthy of being used on your lord."

"Erlang really can't be too serious about this, otherwise he will be as embarrassed as he was in front of Chengtian Gate just now."

"Right."

Yuchi Baoqi thought about it for a while, and decided to go back and type up a draft and think it over.As Duo Fu said, tomorrow is just a good time. Before he leaves tomorrow as a bait, he can talk to the princess from the bottom of his heart. The princess might be really moved.

The next day, it was daylight.

Li Mingda rode horses with Li Tai to the edge of Qujiang Pond.At this time, Fang Yizhi had already found twenty officials who were well versed in water, tied with ropes, and went down the river to salvage.

Not long after, someone came up underwater and told them that they found something under the water, but it was too heavy, and it took some effort to lift it up, and they might not be able to swim up.

Fang Yi remembered that Li Mingda said last night that the willow tree had been rubbed by the rope.Immediately, people prepared ropes and asked them to tie things in the water, and then asked the people on the shore to pull them out.

This method took effect immediately, and the two boxes were pulled up without a stick of incense.

The front, rear, left, and right sides of the box are all locked.

Li Tai was sitting leisurely by the river watching the excitement, when he saw something really came out, he immediately got up to look at it, and then praised Li Mingda with admiring eyes.

"Fourth brother lost, there is really something in this water." Li Mingda sighed, "Then you lost to me in the Guanjing Bieyuan in Qujiang Village."

"If you lose, you lose, here you are." Li Tai smiled and agreed, and then asked someone to break open the box quickly, so he wanted to see what was inside.

The lock was immediately cut off by the guards with axes, and when the lid was lifted, the golden box full of boxes caught everyone's eyes.

gold.

Not to mention gold, even silver is a rare item at present, and can only be used to charge the national treasury, and it is forbidden to circulate among the people.Compared with it, gold is naturally more powerful.

The entire Tang Dynasty was a place where copper coins and silk were used to buy and sell transactions.
