Palace

"Your Majesty. Shang Ye saluted Emperor Zhaoning, "Now that everyone in the east has their own ghosts, they have left Kyoto, and all the princes have made moves. Include...... Beixuan was also uneasy. ”

"Hmm. Emperor Zhaoning's face was expressionless, "Let them have a good time, I'm afraid they will be stuffy in the capital every day." Let them do whatever they do, don't interfere, and don't report to me every day. If I wade through this troubled water, they won't have a lot of fun. ”

"Yes. Shang Ye said.

......

A small county inn near Tianshun City

The army settled outside the city, and Yefan went to the inn to open a room and called a military doctor to treat Yelan's injuries.

Yelan was very ruthless, and showed no mercy to himself, Yefan was in pain watching from the side, and he couldn't stand it, so he withdrew and waited outside the door.

The military doctor quickly bandaged Yelan's wound, and during the whole process, Yelan didn't even wrinkle her eyebrows. I remember when I was a child, my father drove the emperor to the expedition, and the princes stayed in the palace.

At that time, Yelan was six years old, Yeshu was in charge of the country, about twelve, and Yeshu was eight years old. In the back garden, Ye Shu and his companion pressed him to the ground, and whipped him on the legs with a leather whip, blood splattered everywhere, and the servants were so frightened that they hurriedly dodged, and the two legs were almost useless.

Later, Master Yinzhujun smeared it with medicine, and carefully cultivated it to make him healed, but he finally fell into a hidden disease. Ye Ji was also a participant in this matter, and when he came back, Emperor Zhaoning locked the two in confinement, severely punished the offender Ye Shu, and beat Ye Ji ten boards as understanding.

In fact, Yelan had the ability to resist at that time, and he could fight back, but he couldn't. The price of fighting back is very high, his father can't protect him, he endured this time, everything is fine, if he sues, his father will not do anything to Yeshu Yeji, but Yeshu Yeji will retaliate against him next time, he knows this very well. Knowing how to protect yourself, sometimes it's nothing to endure it.

I don't know why I thought of these again, Yelan closed her eyes, cleaned up the nonsense in her mind, and opened her eyes when the Lingtai was clear. Ye Fan saw Ye Lan bandaged and came in from outside the door, he glanced at Ye Lan and exhaled, "Fourth brother, your injuries all over your body really make my younger brother uncomfortable." ”

"Your ** illness is committed again, will you feel uncomfortable when you see blood?" Yelan raised her eyebrows easily and buttoned her clothes.

Yefan looked out the window, and it took a long time to wipe the red blood from his mind. "By the way, Fourth Brother, the troops led by Officer Wanren found a piece of fabric and a page of residual letters from the scene. Ye Fan took out a piece of cloth from his sleeve and opened it, wrapping it with cloth and remnants. He handed these to Yelan, who put the fabric aside and gently took the remaining letter with his hand.

On it are a few blurred handwriting soaked in water, and it is roughly written, "Take off the jade pendant and return to life." ”

Ye Fan saw that Ye Lan read it before he spoke, "The officers of the reserve force are mixed with Ye Shu and Ye Ji, so I didn't ask them for news. Fourth brother, as far as I know, Ye Shu's personal guards and the troops he led did not take down the jade pendant to restore his life, what can this line of handwriting say?"

Yelan pondered for a moment, "The shadow guards of Jiuchen, the troops, and the dark guards really don't have such a method. I will send someone to verify, you don't want to swim in the muddy waters this time, you may not be able to afford to provoke the people behind the scenes. ”

"Fourth brother, don't think about it seriously. Ye Fan said with a haha, "Maybe Ye Shu just wants to confirm his identity through the jade pendant on your body, fourth brother, which is also a possibility." We all think it's complicated, maybe not so much implicated. ”

Yelan glanced at the letter paper, and then at the cloth wrapped in cloth on the side.

Ye Fan has prejudices against Ye Shu, but in his opinion, this matter may not be Ye Shu's doing. ...... Or call "them" to check, and the matter will naturally come to light. No matter what, Bei Yao has nothing to do, at this time, he has already arrived at the junction of the battlefield, and he will arrive at Bei Xuan in a few days.

"We're going to go to the battlefield for a few days to recuperate, so you can go back and get ready and rest. Ye Lan said to Ye Fan.

"Fourth brother, if Princess Beixuan was kidnapped, if my father knew about it, the consequences would be unimaginable. Ye Fan suddenly thought of this, a little worried, more worried about Ye Lan. - Don't say what the father will do, just Ye Shu's side will definitely stumble Ye Lan because of this matter.

"It doesn't matter. Ye Lan didn't care, "Ye Shu has set his sights on me, so naturally he won't target you." ”

Ye Fan was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the fourth brother would think of himself at this time, but he was speechless for a while, and he didn't know what to say.

Seeing that Ye Fan was stunned, Ye Lan smiled, got up and patted him on the shoulder, "I am here for big things, don't be afraid." ”

"Fourth brother......" Ye Fan couldn't bear to face Ye Lan's gaze.

"Go and rest. Yelan said.

Yefan nodded, turned to leave, and closed the door with him.

After Ye Fan left, Ye Lan's eyes flashed with a strange light. He walked to the window, sent a signal into the sky, and waited for a moment before a black-clad figure flashed into his room through the window.

See the Lord. The man in black took off his mask. - It's Yelan's henchman, the Templar killer, and Shui Xuan. And Yelan also has a name, he is Long Yaotian.

Yelan said coldly, "How is the investigation?"

"No clues. Shui Xuan replied, in a low voice. Ye Lan didn't believe it for a moment, and turned her head to look at Shui Xuan in confusion.

Shui Xuan held back for a long time, and finally popped out a few words, "There are some speculations." ”

"Let's start with that. ”

The subordinates felt that King Gong had the greatest motive, so they checked King Gong's whereabouts. King Gong led his army to fight the rebels in the clouds on the front line, and it was impossible for him to plot today's affairs, but the spies reported that he had not seen King Gong's henchmen in the past few days, Nan Xuanji, who was King Gong's master. Shui Xuan said.

"South... Black... "The machine ......" Yelan read every word very slowly, as if she was recalling something in her mind. "Are you from the Xuan Palace?"

"The Lord is wise. Shui Xuan said.

Speaking of which, I have to introduce the Xuan Palace.

The Xuangong Palace used to be the second major sect of martial arts in the rivers and lakes, and the martial arts of the Xuangong Palace Lord Nan En were also first-class in the rivers and lakes, until he killed a dragon in the sky.

Long Aoming became famous in the martial arts conference, and with the birth of Long Aoming, the temple also rose and became the most mysterious and powerful first sect in the martial arts of the rivers and lakes. Nan En looked down on Long Aoming, a stinky child who had not dried up halfway, and picked quarrels and provoked trouble after the martial arts conference, insulted Long Aoming, and injured the disciples of the temple.

Long Aoming's personality is cold and domineering, of course he can't tolerate Nan En's naked provocation, he didn't have a seizure on the spot, but afterwards he led people to destroy the Xuangong Palace, leaving only Nan En's two sons, and he didn't completely kill them. All the major sects in the rivers and lakes know about this, but because of Long Aoming's prestige and power, coupled with Nan En's arrogance on weekdays, all the major sects don't like this person in their hearts, of course, they don't want to meddle in their affairs, and they turn a blind eye and pass over.

The two sons of Nanen, who escaped death, went to the capital to join their cousin, and their cousin was the father of Shu Guifei, the current emperor's harem, and Shu Tang, the grandfather of Ye Shu. Shu Tang took them in, and when they grew up, the two of them found positions in the palace and Prince Gong's mansion. These two are Nan En's eldest son Nan Xuanji and second son Nangong Ying - surnamed Nan Ming Gong Ying, Nan Xuanji became Ye Shu's master and taught Ye Shu martial arts, while Nangong Ying became the commander of Emperor Zhaoning's iron-blooded army.

"Over the years, the Nan brothers have secretly accumulated strength and have always wanted to take revenge on the temple. Subordinates suspect ...... They may have sensed the identity of the Lord, or they may have discovered something that would be detrimental to the Lord. Inferred from this, his subordinates suspected that this matter was done by Nan Xuanji. Shui Xuan's tone was affirmative, implying a hint of murderous intent. - Out of the killer's sensitivity and the killer's code of conduct, Shui Xuan's first thought was to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

Yelan knew very well what Shui Xuan was thinking, but he waved his hand and refused. "Nan Xuanji is not a fool, he has already taken precautions against us, and he acted rashly, but he was afraid that he would startle the snake. Staring at that side first, I won't move if the enemy doesn't move. ”

"Yes, Lord. Shui Xuan nodded, "The other five elders are already on their way back to Beijing, and according to your wishes, we have already let the news out." ”

"Good. Yelan bowed slightly, a weird smile was drawn at the corner of her mouth, and she subconsciously touched the ring on her hand.
