Chapter 39: The Ice Seal
Tianshun City in the evening is peaceful and quiet, like a sleeping baby. Merchants gather their stalls and go home as early as the sun sets, and the people here have no nightlife, and people here always go to bed early and get up early.
In the original Huai Mansion, two black figures crossed the wall from outside the mansion, and one fell steadily in front of the courtyard door where Liebei Yao lived. The two of them walked softly to the door, carefully judged the breath in the room with their internal strength, and after making sure that there was only one person, they gently knocked on the door twice with their hands.
The door opened, Lie Beiyao stared at the two of them, and motioned for the two to come in, and after the two came in, they habitually closed the door. Walking into the house, the two took off their veils and knelt down on one knee to salute, "See His Highness the Nine." ”
"Who are you?"
"We are the Red Flag Crusaders, subordinate to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and are His Highness's henchmen. The two introduced themselves. "His Royal Highness is very worried about His Highness's health, so he specially let us see His Highness and report His Highness's situation to him. ”
"I'm fine. You also put that letter on my desk?" Lie Beiyao seemed to ask.
Two weeks before the expedition, that is, the day after Yelan was appointed, a letter suddenly appeared on Lie Beiyao's desk, to the effect that Lie Beiyao wanted to find a way to accompany him on the expedition, and the end of the letter was a "feather" word, so Lie Beiyao guessed that it was arranged by his brother.
When she arrived in Tianshun City, she saw the figure of these two people in the restaurant on the day of the Xia Fengliu trouble, and Lie Beiyao guessed that her brother sent someone to protect her, but she didn't know why her brother suddenly asked these two people to come to her.
"Yes, Your Highness is wise. The man replied, "In the lower shadow Wei Shuying, he has been ordered to secretly protect His Highness. His Royal Highness sent a letter to His Royal Highness, originally hoping to take advantage of the civil strife in Jiuchen to take the opportunity to bring His Highness back to Beixuan, but His Royal Highness did not want His Highness to suffer. His Royal Highness was not in a hurry about this matter, and instructed me to wait for the opportunity to act and find an opportunity at the border to escort His Highness to Beixuan safely, but ...... Something has changed now. ”
"In Beixuan, His Royal Highness provoked the emperor to take advantage of the chaos to rob, and took this opportunity to send troops to Jiuchen to assist Yunzhonghe in the rebellion, and has privately signed an agreement with Yunzhonghe. Because this matter is profitable and the transaction is cost-effective, the emperor does not listen to the advice of His Royal Highness and insists on going his own way. The Fourth Highness took the opportunity to suggest that His Royal Highness should lead troops to assist the crane in the clouds. His Highness had no choice but to obey His Majesty's will. After receiving the will, His Royal Highness thought that His Royal Highness Nine was still in Jiuchen, and was worried that His Royal Highness would make a conspiracy to leak the news to Emperor Jiuchen, and Her Royal Highness the princess would be in danger, so he ordered me to rescue the princess immediately at all costs, and we must safely escort the princess at least Her Royal Highness. ”
"My brother led the army this time is the fourth prince proposed, Lie Wuxue will not be so kind. My brother's trip will definitely be dangerous, and he should find a way to get out of his errand!" Lie Beiyao couldn't help but listen to Shu Ying's long list of words, and couldn't help but worry about Lie Yu, her dearest brother.
"His Royal Highness originally had a way to withdraw the holy decree, but thinking of the princess's safety, His Royal Highness was really not at ease. If His Royal Highness personally leads the army, it can ensure the safety of the princess at the border, and it will be more convenient to receive you, so His Royal Highness agreed. Shu Ying explained.
"Brother doesn't have to ...... for me" Lie Beiyao clenched his fists, and there was a faint sadness and melancholy in his eyes.
"Subordinates can't stay here for a long time, lest they be discovered. Shu Ying said simply, "Your Highness, as long as you remember, in a few days, the army of the King of Light will be launched, and the subordinates will be arranged." On the way, disguised as an assassin to 'rob' His Highness away, this plan is foolproof and will not be detected by Jiuchen. Even if Emperor Jiuchen finds out and has no evidence, he will not be able to hold us accountable for Beixuan. ”
"But Wang Yelan won't be implicated because of this......" Lie Beiyao frowned, a little hesitant.
"Now there is no other way, Your Highness still thinks about yourself and doesn't have to worry about others. Shu Ying said.
"There are footsteps!" the other alarmed.
Shu Ying's expression changed, and he hurriedly hugged Lie Beiyao. "Your Highness the Ninth must remember what your subordinates just said, and your subordinates will retire first. ”
When he finished speaking, he disappeared.
"Knock knock!" there was a knock at the door.
"Who?" Lie Beiyao's voice was very soft, like wind and rain, and did not show any panic.
"Is it convenient?" said Yelan's voice outside.
Lie Beiyao breathed a sigh of relief, got up and opened the door. There were two people standing outside the door, one was Yelan, and the other was Zhao Tu, whose real name was Bai Tu.
Lie Beiyao glanced at Bai Tu with some surprise, Bai Tu smiled and nodded, and introduced himself, "In Xia Zhao Tu, I studied under my father, and my ancestor was a medical saint Zhao, and I was entrusted by His Royal Highness King Guang to diagnose His Royal Highness's pulse. ”
Lie Beiyao nodded, "Please come in." ”
The two followed Lie Beiyao into the house, and Yelan frowned, "Someone came just now?"
"Huh?" Lie Beiyao was very surprised, but pretended not to know on his face. "No one came in just now, and His Royal Highness King Guang is afraid that it was a mistake. ”
Bai Tu also nodded and patted Yelan on the shoulder, "Is Your Highness too vigilant?"
"Probably. Yelan smiled, turned to look at Lie Beiyao and explained, "Don't get me wrong, I don't have much heart. Just worried about the princess's safety. ”
Lie Beiyao smiled slightly, his face was calm, but in fact, he admired Yelan's superb internal strength and internal breath.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, please take a seat, I will take the pulse for Your Highness. Bai suddenly bowed.
Lie Beiyao sat down obediently and moved his sleeve slightly upward, revealing his wrist.
Bai Tu was just about to take the pulse, but Yelan said loudly, "Wait a minute." After finishing speaking, he took out a small box from his sleeve, took out a pill from it and handed it to Lie Beiyao, "This can regulate internal breathing." ”
Although Lie Beiyao was a little surprised, she didn't understand why Yelan suddenly took this out to her, but she still took the pill and took it to her, but in just three seconds, Lie Beiyao fell.
"Hey, what are you doing!" Bai Tu was at a loss for what to do.
Yelan gently walked over and helped Lie Beiyao's body up, "Let's take her pulse, two men are here at night, Beiyao is inevitably a little embarrassed." I let her fall asleep temporarily, which also avoided the girl's discomfort, but there was another reason. ”
"What?" Bai Tu asked.
"Just now, I used my internal breath to detect the residual manly aura around me, and I am afraid that someone has come. Yelan said.
"Senior brother's internal skills are getting more and more sophisticated. But what does Senior Brother want to say?"
"Prince Beixuan sent someone to secretly protect Bei Yao, I wasn't sure if it was Prince Lieyu's person before, but the observation of these few days can be determined that it is Lieyu, only Lieyu will care so much about this sister, and he also sent the elite of Beixuan's elite - the shadow guard of the Red Banner Crusader. ”
"Then what does Senior Brother suspect?" Bai Tu asked.
"Lie Yu's people suddenly came to contact Lie Beiyao, presumably something may have happened in Beixuan's country, or something very important, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen this time, so anxious......" Ye Lan pondered, "I won't investigate their affairs, but we need to make some preparations to deal with sudden changes." You go and contact your own people and let them protect them secretly. ”
"Okay, I know, senior brother, don't worry. Bai Tu nodded, "You've assigned me too many tasks lately......, right?" I am a little overwhelmed. ”
Yelan looked at Bai Tu disapprehantly, "This is too much, won't it be even busier to inherit the upper position in the future?"
Bai Tu was a little surprised, he touched his head and smiled. "Senior brother made fun of me, how could I inherit my senior brother's position? Besides, even if it's true, I don't think senior brother is very idle. ”
"Don't be poor, take the pulse quickly, look at it well, and don't make any mistakes. Yelan picked up the stand and ordered.
Bai Tu withdrew his smile and took the pulse of Lie Beiyao seriously. One minute passed, two minutes ...... Three-minute ...... Five minutes...... A stick of incense passed. Bai Tu's brows were tightly locked, and some small beads of sweat poured out of his forehead...... Finally, Bai suddenly broke open his eyes, and the whole body took a big breath, his eyebrows were locked, and he shook his head heavily at Yelan.
"How?" Yelan saw that Bai Tu's face was not good, so she poured him a glass of water and handed it to him.
Bai Tu drank all the water, and said slowly, "I'm afraid I still have to come to this matter." ”
"Huh?" Yelan frowned, puzzled.
Bai Tu poured another glass of water and explained to Yelan, "The princess's pulse is different from ordinary people, and she needs to rely on internal breath to investigate, I used internal breath to check, and found that the princess's pulse is very similar to yours, senior brother." This confirms your previous assumption that she is also the Chosen One. ”
Yelan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Bai Tu again, "You continue." ”
"But it's different. Bai Tu said, "When I used my internal breath to investigate, I found that there is a powerful cold qi in Her Royal Highness Princess's body that is hindering me, and the power of this cold qi is far greater than that in your body. I was entangled by this huge cold and couldn't get out, until I blocked it just now, and with a little trickery, I finally got out of the invasion of the cold. ”
"That's what I thought, that's why I'm calling you here to confirm my inference. Yelan's tone was serious and heavy, "I don't understand this. But I think this thing is ...... It is estimated that Prince Lieyu, who is closest to Bei Yao, should know a thing or two. ”
"So senior brother is different from the princess because she is the same chosen person as you, and then you have a love for men and women?" Bai Tu asked.
Yelan nodded silently.
"I'm afraid that if you want to detect the abnormality of the princess's pulse, you need such a deep internal force as Senior Brother to do it. Bai Tu said.
Yelan nodded, "I know." But...... Rashly using internal force to fight against the cold in her body, I am worried that it will cause harm to her body. ”
Bai Tu thought for a while and said, "In that case, let's put this matter aside for the time being." It's just ......"
Yelan followed Bai Tu's gaze, and Bai Tu's gaze looked at Lie Beiyao who was sleeping. He glanced at Yelan again, "What about her?"
Yelan didn't say a word, a princess picked her up, gently put her on the bed, took off her shoes and socks for her, covered the quilt, and intimately tucked the quilt for her, and after doing everything, she turned around and said lightly to Bai Tu who was standing there, "Let's go." ”
Bai Tu raised his eyebrows, was silent for a while, and said, "Okay." With that, he followed, closed the door gently, and left.
The moonlight is sprinkled, the beauty is on the side, and the beauty is picturesque......
