Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Scene
After everyone was gone, the sky was already dark, the wind came into the room and came to the bedside, sat down slowly, looked at the pale Yaoling, he gently stretched out his hand to brush the hair on her forehead behind her ear, his fingers lightly swiped her pale little face and trembled slightly, and then he held her little hand, and sat down like this until dawn.
The first rays of the sun shone into the house, the wind shone and called Lan Yan to bring washing water, and he carefully and slowly scrubbed his face and hands for Yaoling, who was still unconscious, and came to the meeting hall in the front yard. At this moment, he was already waiting in the hall: "Is it okay for the county king's mansion after I leave?" Feng Zhao asked a little tiredly. Xiao Xiao hurriedly replied, "As soon as you are fine, you are from the guards who came back half a month ago." Feng Zhao was slightly stunned and asked, "What about the others?" "I left the guard and returned to the valley, and I sent someone to inform him that he had returned this morning." Xiao Xiao said. After Feng Zhao signaled to go down, he stood quietly for half a pillar of incense, it has been four or five years since he left Yanlong to go to the imperial capital, and in the previous month, he sent a message to him to order him to go to the imperial palace to check who the master of the Qingli Palace was, and he never replied, if it was not for the urgent matter, he would not come back to report in person, Feng Zhao's heart trembled slightly.
At this time, Chang Ruojin sat on a high dragon chair, and the following was full of civil and military ministers, Yueming and Ji Rujin were there, because the six princesses escaped from the Ningjun King and the attack on the Manchu Dynasty civil and military affairs have all known, Chang Ruojin on the dragon chair changed the past to be gentle and introverted, at this time he had a strict face, after listening to Lord Wen's account of the attack on Fengzhao and the six princesses escaping in a carriage, he did not speak for a long time, and finally called Yueming and Fengzhao, Ji Rujin, Lord Wen, and Lord Shoufu Ji to the Hezheng Palace.
In the Hezheng Palace, Chang Ruojin sat in front of several cases, ordered someone to move a chair for Ji Rujin, and the rest of the people stood aside. Because Yanlong Kingdom is a vassal country of Ji Kingdom, although Ji Rujin is the prince of Chang Ruojin, he must also be treated with courtesy. At this moment, Chang Ruojin's eyes swept over Fengzhao and Yueming's faces one by one, and turned his head for a moment to Ji Rujin, who was sitting on the side, and said politely: "The third prince was frightened by sending his relatives this time. Ji Rujin said indifferently: "It's okay." But he didn't mention the escape of the sixth princess, and then Chang Ruojin said to Yueming: "Can you send someone to find the princess?" Yue Ming said slightly: "I have sent someone to pursue it." "Well, send more people to find it," Chang Ruojin said, looking at Yueming's eyes a little deep. "Yes," Yueming replied indifferently. Chang Ruojin once again focused her eyes on Ji Rujin's body, and said modestly and gently: "This marriage between the two countries unexpectedly happened like this, what do the three princes think about this matter?" Ji Rujin pondered for a while and said: "The imperial sister has married into Yanlong, and she is the person of Yanlong, please take care of the monarch more, and I will explain this matter to my father on the side of Ji Kingdom." "What a little fox" Chang Ruojin scolded secretly in her heart, but on the surface, she was still humble and polite: "Then you will bother the third prince." Then he said to Lord Ji, the first assistant who was standing on the side: "Lord Ji, you go to repair a book to inform the people of Yanlong Kingdom that the prince's wedding ceremony has been temporarily canceled, and it is only said that the celestial phenomena are not in harmony at this time, and it is not appropriate to hold a wedding ceremony at this time." After speaking, his eyes seemed to unintentionally cross Yueming's face. "The Minister's Decree" has entered the year of the sixtieth year, Lord Ji responded with a salute. There was a trace of indescribable things quietly passing under Ji Rujin's eyes. After Chang Ruojin finished speaking, he turned to Ji Rujin and said, "Emperor Ji, then I will also repair the book and send someone to explain this matter." This matter is about the face of the two countries, and it is necessary to find a way to get the best of both worlds. Ji Rujin nodded and replied: "What the monarch said is very true. In his heart, he secretly scolded Chang Ruojin: The sixth princess as the princess of the Ji Kingdom represents the Ji Kingdom, and marrying into Yanlong is the future queen, but she escaped like this, even if the Yanlong Kingdom finds the six princesses in the future, she will definitely not let her become the future queen of Yanlong, and it is impossible for the Ji Kingdom to send another princess to marry Chang Yueming, since then there is no place in the Ji Country in Yanlong, and the Ji Kingdom cannot be harsh with Yanlong. Thinking that the last time the six princesses sneaked away to Yanlong, I was afraid that it had something to do with this Chang Yueming, and the person sent by Yanlong Guo to propose marriage specified that the crown prince Chang Yueming was devoted to the six princesses, and the six princesses uncharacteristically happily agreed to this marriage, it seems that this escape from the marriage must be premeditated, thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Yueming for a while, and then unintentionally swept the wind and light, and couldn't help sighing in his heart: These two people are not things in the pool, it seems that some of them have a fight.
Waiting for the matter of the sixth princess to be explained, Ji Rujin was sent away, and Master Shoufu Ji and Master Wen were sent away, Chang Ruojin looked at the somewhat tired Fengzhao and asked softly: "That woman" paused for a moment, and then continued: "How is the situation?" "It's no big deal" Feng Zhao replied in response. After a long time, Ruojin looked at the moon and the wind with a little depth: "Can you find out the origin of those people?" "Not yet." Yueming replied. After thinking for a moment, Chang Ruojin said again: "This matter must be investigated, who is the main purpose of those people." He looked at the wind with deep eyes. When sending the two away, Chang Ruojin called Yueming again, staring at Yueming's eyes, and he slowly whispered: "Since the wedding has been canceled, let that sixth princess never appear in Yanlong." Yueming's heart moved slightly, and he bowed his head in response: "Erchen knows." ”
Out of the palace gate, Yueming and Fengzhao sat in the same carriage, and Fengzhao looked at Yueming in the car and said coldly: "You finally got rid of a queen." It turned out that Yueming's plan on the bag given by Fengzhao before welcoming her was to find an opportunity for the sixth princess to escape after the wedding car entered Yanlong, and let Yan Di greet her halfway. But I didn't expect those men in black to appear at that time. Yueming was indifferent, and after a while, Yueming said softly: "Tomorrow, I will go to Baoxiang Temple, and I am afraid that only the Zen master knows the origin of that feather arrow." Fengzhao's eyes lit up. After a while, Yueming asked again, "Who do you think those people are coming for?" The wind shone deep into the eyes of the cold pool, and a cold light shot out for a long time, and said softly: "Killing Hall" "Killing Hall." Yueming followed in a low voice, and then looked at Feng Zhao's eyes with a little question: "The Killing Hall is an assassination organization in the rivers and lakes, how can they all use bows and arrows?" It was like a light shooting into Fengzhao's mind, yes, the people on the rivers and lakes mostly use swords, sticks, whips, and hand-to-hand weapons, and then there are flying swords, daggers, thistles, marbles and other distant hidden weapons, and the distance of the bow and arrow is really different from these hidden weapons. Moreover, bows and arrows are mostly used in the army, and those people yesterday were more like well-trained soldiers, strategizing, especially the coordination of the three arrows, which was seamless, and it seemed that the main purpose was to shoot and kill the wind and light, but the actual purpose was Yaoling. The two looked at each other for a long time. Finally, Feng Zhao said to Yueming: "Tomorrow, when you go to Baoxiang Temple, be sure to inquire about the origin of this arrow, and I will go to the place where it was attacked yesterday and investigate again." Yueming nodded, and then Fengzhao sent Yueming back to the Prince's Mansion. When he returned to his mansion, he entered the door and looked at Yaoling, who was still unconscious, and asked Lan Yan to take care of him, and ordered him to send someone from the valley to call some dead soldiers to the palace to receive orders, and instructed Limeng and Yan Di to return to the palace as soon as possible to wait for him. After giving an explanation, he ordered someone to take out a brown BMW horse from the stable, turn over and go straight to the canyon where he was attacked yesterday.
In less than two hours, he came to the pipeline that was attacked yesterday, and at this time the boulders on the official road had been cleared, and after yesterday's incident, the Yanlong State Government had sent heavy troops to guard this place. These soldiers were originally stationed on the border between Yanlong and Jiguo slightly ahead, but in yesterday's battle, Chang Ruojin discovered the importance of this place, so he allocated a part of the soldiers in front to be stationed at this pass for a long time. The leader of the garrison saw the waist card shown by Fengzhao and immediately ordered to go down and not allow anyone to interfere with Fengzhao's movements.
Walking slowly on the grass under the cliffs on both sides of the official road, the wind and the wind searched carefully, broken arrows and gravel could be seen everywhere, but everywhere he searched, he couldn't find the two dark and heavy black iron arrows that shot at him. He couldn't help but furrow two beautiful sword eyebrows. I thought about it for a moment. Look up at the cliff overhead. As soon as he flew up like an eagle, the soldiers below were dumbfounded. In mid-air, he flew up to the top of the cliff where those people were ambushed, and there were dozens of corpses of people in black on the top of the cliff, some of them were bleeding from seven holes, and it seemed that they were killed by the sound of Yueming's flute, and some of them had black hands and faces, obviously killed by Yaoling's poisonous bell. He pulled up the hands of those people one by one and looked at them carefully, and found that everyone's left palm was calloused, and the first three fingers of his right hand were full of thick calluses, and he closed his eyes and imagined himself holding a bow and arrow. Yes, these people are all archers, and they are people who have been immersed in this for many years, they hold a bow in their left hand and an arrow in their right hand, and they are not from the rivers and lakes. He thought about the origin of the three feather arrows, the direction of the two black black iron feather arrows passing through his air shield, and the location of the feather arrow that was finally shot at Yao Ling, he quickly locked the direction of the person who shot the arrow, which was behind a protruding rock on the cliff on the left, where the person was hiding, Feng Zhao couldn't help but regret in his heart that if he didn't fly to the right at that time and clear all the enemies on the cliff on the left at the same time as Yao Ling, he was confident that that person would not have a chance to shoot those three arrows. He searched all the places, except for the two black feathered arrows that were shot at him. He thought silently, then turned on his horse and ran back to the palace. When he arrived at the palace, it was dark, and when he entered the council hall, Yan Di and Limeng were already waiting for him.
