Chapter 39: Han Jing (Ichiriku)
After the emperor of Chang'an City received reports from all over the country, Rao is emperor was also furious, not because of the officials who died one after another, but until now he didn't know who the murderer was and what he looked like.
"My official of the Tang Dynasty has been provoked one after another, where is the dignity of my Tang court!"
The emperor was furious, the civil and military officials were silent, and the cicadas were forbidden.
King Ning Lin Xuanye and King Yi Lin Xuanji knelt on the ground, but although the movements of the two people were the same, their moods were very different.
Compared with Lin Xuanji's calmness, Lin Xuanye's heart was full of anger, and the people who died were all the forces he cultivated in various places, and most of them were officials with real power.
Such a massacre weakened his power.
However, even if the emperor is interested in himself, the most taboo thing for the emperor is to form a party for personal gain, at this time, even if Lin Xuanye is angry, he can only endure it and cannot show it.
"King Yi, I will hand over this matter to you, and I must arrest the murderer!"
In the end, the case was handed over to Lin Xuanji, Lin Xuanye suffered a dull loss and at the same time was dumb and ate coptis, this matter must be inseparable from King Yi, and his father handed over this matter to him again, it is strange that the murderer can be found in this case!
Just one person prevaricated in the past, even if the murderer was arrested, it was one person, and he lost more than a dozen people.
Lin Xuanye was angry, but if he came forward to oppose it at this time, it would ruin his maintenance of his younger brother in the eyes of his father.
Until he left the palace gate, King Yi was always behind Lin Xuanye, Lin Xuanye smiled and said goodbye to the officials, and just turned around to say something to King Yi, but the person was gone.
What about people?
Lin Xuanye took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and looked at the direction where King Yi left, as if he was about to erupt into fire.

Hangseong City, Pyeongju Province
The sun is shining overhead, and the further south you go, the more humid and muggy it becomes.
Every morning when I get up, I am already sweating, Lu Xiunian is a native of Jizhou, Jizhou is located in the north, and I have adapted to this weather for a long time but still feel very comfortable.
When they got up in the morning, Lu Xiunian and Chen Yan'er began to hurry, and since they got up early, they had to have breakfast.
Lu Xiunian didn't eat on time, and there were times when he couldn't eat before, every time Shen Luoqiu would appear, and then take himself to eat a full meal, when he was hungry and cold in those years, only Shen Luoqiu regarded him Lu Xiunian as a person.
So even if the young man didn't want to stain his hands with blood, the moment he picked up the sword from Jizhou Mansion, he was already doomed to not escape.
A bowl of egg drop soup, a plate of pickles, and five or six steamed buns are breakfast for two people.
Lu Xiunian's account is not how atmospheric he is, but the ticket store in Chen Yan'er's hand can't be found.
For this reason, Lu Xiunian wondered if Chen Yan'er deliberately went on the road without change.
Of course, this is just a momentary thought, after paying the bill, the two of them continued to hurry, I don't know what day it is, there are a lot of people in Han Jing, people come and go on the street, and the two of them haven't walked out of the street for half a day.
"What's going on, why are there so many people?" asked Chen Yan'er as she frowned and squeezed outside.
Lu Xiunian is okay, Chen Yan'er is a woman after all, and sometimes she will inevitably run into it when she squeezes around.
"Maybe it's some kind of activity. Lu Xiunian looked at her, although it was impossible to walk behind this woman to block the crowd, but it would not embarrass her at this time.
"Let's take a shelter in the shop next door. ”
Lu Xiunian said and walked towards the dim sum shop next to him, Chen Yan'er followed closely, and he didn't know whether he wanted it or not, the road Lu Xiunian walked was much wider than just now.
Lu Xiunian gasped when he arrived at the door of the dim sum shop, is this a dim sum shop?
There are many people outside, and there are not many people inside.
Lu Xiunian suddenly had a headache.
Chen Yan'er followed closely and saw this kind of scene in the store, and was a little unhappy for a while.
But he frowned, "Let's go, I'm okay." ”
Lu Xiunian glanced at her and didn't say anything more, but when he walked, he would pick a place with few people, and even so, he still walked hard in the vast sea of people.
Finally, Lu Xiunian discovered the culprit who caused this situation.
The daughter of the lord of Hanjing City chooses a husband, so the talents on this street today will be overflowing and crowded.
Lu Xiunian was not interested, but just a glance just now it was easy to see the woman sitting on the sedan chair, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, but the look under the veil was unknown, but looking at the crowd of people, the result was already self-evident.
It was not a hydrangea that was thrown, but an arrow shot by the daughter of the city lord, and of course the tip of the sword was already processed, and it would not hurt people.
Lu Xiunian was going to go around, but suddenly found that the crowd of people passing by the woman's sedan chair would disperse, most of them were scattered by some men who felt that they had no hope, and the other part was left behind by men who still wanted to see the woman's appearance in the city.
Money and beauty, power, every normal man can't escape such a temptation, Lu Xiunian is not interested in power, but he is a little interested in money and beauty.
And it is really not easy to see this kind of beauty in such a place far away from Chang'an.
But it was only a fleeting thought, and he continued to move forward, slowly waiting for the princess's sedan chariot to pass by.
Chen Yan'er followed behind, and seemed to be aware of Lu Xiunian's emotions, pouting, muttering something in his mouth.
Lu Xiunian suddenly stopped, and the people around him suddenly looked over, surprised, dumbfounded, envious, and jealous.
Chen Yan'er didn't know why, until someone picked up the arrow that fell to the ground, Chen Yan'er suddenly realized.
"You...... You ......"
Rao is Chen Yan'er was also so angry that she couldn't speak.
She thought of a way to change Lu Xiunian's face, although it was a disguise technique, but it didn't ruin his appearance too much, a handsome face that couldn't be clearer and more handsome, and an ordinary face couldn't be more ordinary, I never thought that this could also be chosen, what kind of vision is this woman!
Chen Yan'er was angry, Lu Xiunian in front of him just paused, and then prepared to leave, but where would the people in Hanjing City agree.
surrounded Lu Xiunian, and soon someone from the City Lord's Mansion came over, and Chen Yan'er raised her eyes and saw the woman sitting on the sedan chair throwing a flattering look in the direction of Lu Xiunian.
Chen Yan'er: "......"
Chen Yan'er took a deep breath, her beautiful eyes were angry, her cheeks were slightly powdered, and she looked at the woman on the sedan chair and suddenly remembered what her mother said when she was there.
The women in this world have a seven-pronged heart, but some people don't bother to do something, while some people can play with those men in applause.
The woman in front of her, Chen Yan'er judged by a woman's intuition, this is not a simple person.
As for Lu Xiunian, he listened to a lot of things from the City Lord's Mansion, and finally nodded and said something, "Of course you can." ”
Chen Yan'er was annoyed, and immediately grabbed Lu Xiunian and said, "This is my fiancé, even if your eldest lady wants to choose a husband, can't you rob others?"
Lu Xiunian was stunned, looked at Chen Yan'er and blinked, not knowing where this fiancé came from.
He doesn't remember what he said to this woman.
She is his fiancée, so it may really be like the old drunkard said that there will be no peace.
The old drunkard said that he would marry a wife and marry a virtuous woman, but he really didn't see where this princess was virtuous.
"Uh. The people in the City Lord's Mansion were clearly stunned for a moment, looking at Lu Xiunian as if he was asking, and he was a little angry, obviously Lu Xiunian nodded, and the latter's answer was a positive nod.
"Yes, this is my fiancée. Lu Xiunian said.
The middle-aged man said angrily, "Since the son already has a marriage contract, why did he agree to what I said? This is disrespectful to my master!"
Lu Xiunian pursed the corners of his lips, Chen Yan'er was already in front of him, and argued with the people of the City Lord's Mansion, "Disrespectful to your master? I want to ask, this Hanjing City is not your family's fault? If you want to recruit a husband, why don't you listen to your parents' arrangements in the boudoir, even if you want to choose your own son-in-law, then you have to inform in advance, if not, do you think that everyone passing by on the street is interested in your master?"
Lu Xiunian was stunned, he really couldn't combine the person in front of him with the princess, he was too down-to-earth, just like a mother-in-law who was bargaining with people on the street to buy vegetables, but the difference was that even if she quarreled, the princess still didn't have a dirty word in her mouth.
Where did the people from the City Lord's Mansion receive such treatment in Han Jing, they were immediately furious, and without saying a word, they instructed people to lock up Lu Xiunian and Chen Yan'er.
In broad daylight, Lu Xiunian and Chen Yan'er tacitly did not show their skills, otherwise they would be even a fool and could see that the identities of the two people were not simple, and they would have to investigate.
Lu Xiunian and Chen Yan'er were imprisoned in the city lord's mansion, and were separated and locked in two places in the mansion, Lu Xiunian smiled bitterly, and could only hope to escape when it was dark.
Where did he think that the woman who was on the sedan chair just now actually appeared in front of him, and waved away those who were guarding him, Lu Xiunian looked at the woman in front of him, she was only fourteen or fifteen years old, but her behavior was not like this age.
Even Chen Yan'er is a little stubborn like a child.
"Don't you ask me to let me let go of your fiancée?" the woman asked, a little playful, a little charming, coupled with her stunning face, it is not an exaggeration to make Han Jingcheng look like this. Ordinary women with beauty will also become the focus of everyone's attention, let alone this woman who already has a net worth.
Lu Xiunian smiled, as if he was also attracted to the woman, "Didn't the girl see that she was not my fiancée, so she appeared in front of me?"
The woman's eyes are flowing, and the charm is rampant, there is a kind of person's charm that is born, and some people's charm is learned, and the person in front of her, Lu Xiunian, pondered that it should belong to the first type, because in her body, Lu Xiunian can only think of the four words of charm and nature.
"Will you marry me?" asked the woman.
The corners of Lu Xiunian's lips twitched slightly, are the women really open now? One came up and said that it was his fiancée, and the other asked if he was willing to marry her, Lu Xiunian sighed, what kind of peach blossom luck did he go?
"Why?" Lu Xiunian asked.
The woman wondered, "What why?"
"The first time you saw me, you know I'm a good guy and a bad guy, what if it's not good for you, what if it's for your family's property?"
"No, it won't. The woman said confidently.
Where did this self-confidence come from? Lu Xiunian wondered, and suddenly Lu Xiunian thought of it.
This self-confidence comes from self-confidence in personal resources and in the family power behind the individual.
Lu Xiunian raised his eyebrows, how could General Jizhou have more power than the lord of this city, but he was born in front of the imperial power and became a worthless existence.
Even Shen Luoqiu is not a person who can do whatever he wants in King Yi's mansion.
"I'm just a poor boy, poor and white, why don't you find someone with the same status as you?"
Lu Xiunian continued.
The woman smiled and said, "My father is not interested in power, if some wealth and things do not belong to him and have to fight for them, the final result can only be harm to others and himself." ”
Lu Xiunian was a little tongue-in-cheek, this woman really understood it.
A person like Chen Yan'er who can do anything to achieve her goals is not as terrible as such a woman, because she knows too well what she wants and what she wants, and she will not take risks for those thrilling things.
So......
"How do you know I'm willing?" Lu Xiunian asked.
The woman curled her lips, "I'm not asking you, if you don't want to, I'll let you go." ”
Lu Xiunian didn't expect it to be such a result, the woman's words didn't look like they were cheating, at least Lu Xiunian saw her sincerity.
Maybe it's really like she said, you will never be demanding about things that don't belong to you.
But with such calmness and self-control, what is the meaning of life?
Lu Xiunian shook his head, "I don't want to." ”
The woman raised her eyebrows, not too surprised, and just said, "I'll let you go, but I want to know what kind of person you like." ”
Lu Xiunian frowned, "You ......"
"What am I? It's not that I'm boasting, if a man like you doesn't have a heart for a woman like me, then there is only one possibility, and that is to already have a sweetheart. ”
The woman said, looking at Lu Xiunian's stunned expression and a little proud, but she still added, "This is what my mother said." ”
Lu Xiunian: "......"
"Okay, since I don't want to, I won't force it, although it's a pity, but the twisted melon is not sweet, and someone will take you away in a while. ”
Saying that the woman was about to leave, Lu Xiunian hurriedly asked, "Where is that woman?"
The woman turned to look at him and smiled slyly, "You are different from her, she offended my father, naturally there will be no good fruit to eat, don't beg me, I can't help her, who made her talk like that in front of those people." ”
The woman spread her hands and said that she couldn't help it.
Lu Xiunian could only watch the woman leave while messy in the wind.
