Chapter 42 Fulfilling the Mission

Dongfang Yunrui originally intended to punish Murong Qingyi heavily, but Murong Bai and Jiang Tianxing begged bitterly, considering that Qingxue still had to live in the General's Mansion, so he asked Murong Bai to confine her for a month, eat fasting and recite Buddha, in order to purify her heart. After all, if you want to cure her, you can do it at any time, and now it's just a favor to them.

Murong Bai was overjoyed and thanked again and again. But since then, he has begun to be a little disgusted with his eldest daughter, and the pearl of the past is now abandoned. Whoever made her self-righteous offended the most unoffended Prince Rui of Xiling Kingdom, and could only sigh.

Dongfang Yunrui did not break his promise, and arranged for Ling Ran to track down the assassin with all his might. Ling Ran was really brave and strategic, and when he started to check in the Nanwang Mansion, he really found clues. He chased after him for a day, and finally found something strange from the whereabouts of Sword Rain, followed the vine, found a cave, and found a sword in the cave. The tip of the sword was blackened, apparently fed with poison. Ling Ran didn't move the sword, but tore off a piece of cloth from his clothes, dipped it in some poison, didn't startle the snake, and sneaked back to the Rui Wang's Mansion.

Ling Pingyang carefully examined the poison on this cloth, and frowned: "Sure enough, it is the poison of Lan Ji's flower stem, you kid, how did you find it?" Ling Ran told him how to go to the Nanwang Mansion to investigate, and how to follow Jian Yu, Ling Pingyang listened to it and said, "In this way, the assassin of that day was near the cave. Since it is related to the rain of swords, it must also be a person from Dongfang Haonan. ”

Ling Ran also thought so, but the matter had not been confirmed, and he was not ready to report to Dongfang Yunrui. With Dongfang Yunrui, as long as the result is enough.

Ling Pingyang decided to go to the cave with Ling Ran to investigate, and that night, the two of them wore black night clothes and found the cave.

Looking through the secluded hole, there was only a bean light, faintly lit. A pale young man was wiping the poisoned sword with the poison. The light reflected his pale face, adding a touch of coldness, or desolation.

The boy coughed, a strand of hair on his forehead covered his face, adding to the mystery, and the breeze blew into the cave, and also brushed the hair that covered his forehead, but his face was delicate, but the sickly paleness made him look very detached.

"Who?" the boy shouted vigilantly, sensing a movement outside the cave.

Ling Ran glanced at Ling Pingyang, and the two flew in with their swords. The young man was startled, but there was no superfluous expression on his face, and he quickly grabbed the sword on the ground and jumped into the air, avoiding the attack of the two.

"Who are you, how did you find here?" the young man asked sharply, but he still couldn't help coughing, it seemed that Dongfang Yunrui's palm hurt him a lot.

"Who am I? I should ask you who you are. Why are you going to assassinate the emperor, are you the person of the Southern Prince?" Ling Ran got straight to the point, with his character, he was really not suitable for beating around the bush.

The young man's expression changed suddenly, and it seemed that he had a heart on his mind.

"You, are you from the palace?" the young man asked, and then he rejected his own speculation, after all, with those wine bags and rice bags in the palace, how could he possibly find himself.

"Okay, let's trade fairly, you say who you are first. Ling Ran said.

The young man didn't have much interest in this, and there was no expression on his face: "I'm not interested in who you are, anyway, I'm a failure, how brave is the defeated army, but even Prince Rui can't catch me, and I'm in danger of being poisoned, just rely on you, I don't believe it." The flat tone couldn't hide the mockery, and coughed a few more times.

Ling Pingyang laughed, laughing at his ignorance. This laughter made the boy feel a little frightened: "What are you laughing at? Am I not right?"

"Of course not, you're wrong in two places. First, it is not that Dongfang can't catch you, but that his purpose is to save people, not to catch you. If you hadn't taken advantage of his attention elsewhere, how could you hurt him, if you were to fight alone, needless to say, it would be difficult to find someone in the entire Xiling Kingdom who could hurt him; second, you said that he was in danger, wouldn't it be a big joke. Are you underestimating me too much in front of me, or are you overestimating you?"

The young man was surprised, he admitted the first point that Ling Pingyang said, but the second point, he has always been very confident in Lan Ji's flower poison and has never missed, but the handsome and evil young man in front of him said so, could it be that he actually detoxified himself?

Suddenly, his face changed: "You, you are the son of the God of Medicine, Ling Pingyang?"

Ling Pingyang nodded, it seemed that his name had not been buried by the rivers and lakes, which made his recently battered heart show signs of rebirth.

And so it was. The young man looked at Ling Ran with an indifferent face, a unique cold demeanor, and sighed faintly: "Needless to say, you must be Ling Ran, Prince Rui's personal guard." ”

"Now that you know who we are, you can introduce yourself. Ling Ran said coldly. In fact, no matter whether he says it or not, the pale young man in front of him will definitely not be able to escape.

"Well, since you can follow here, it means that you also know my details. My name is Dao Lin, Jian Yu's junior brother. This time, he was ordered by the prince of Nan to assassinate the emperor. Dao Lin said slowly, coughing as he spoke.

"Why did Prince Nan assassinate the emperor, if he wanted to kill his father, it would be too fast, after all, if the emperor died, he might not be able to ascend the throne. Ling Pingyang asked.

Dao Lin shook his head: "That's not the case, Prince Nan didn't want to assassinate the emperor, you know, if you choose to attack when Prince Rui is there, how can the emperor be in danger." On the other hand, with Murong Bai's skills, how could he stop me, then the emperor would definitely blame him for his negligence. And to catch me, he must move closer to the prince of the south. Murong Bai's martial arts are not very good, but he has a lot of power, you understand. ”

Sure enough, it was killing two birds with one stone, and the two of them felt a chill in their hearts. However, if they knew that what Dao Lin said was the same as Murong Qingxue had guessed, they didn't know how they would admire her. Murong Qingxue is not very scheming, it's just that she suffered a loss in her previous life, how can she not understand Dongfang Haonan.

"In vain, you worked hard for Dongfang Haonan, you were seriously injured and you could only heal by yourself, except for Jian Yu who came to see you occasionally, there was nothing else. There was some mockery in Ling Pingyang's tone.

"As a killer, I don't have the luxury of being warm in the world. I had this ending, I expected it a long time ago. ”

"You tell us this, aren't you afraid that Dongfang Haonan will find out and deal with you?" Ling Ran understood Dongfang Haonan's ruthlessness, and he was very puzzled by Dao Lin. Since you can follow Dongfang Haonan, you must understand his temperament.

Dao Lin smiled lightly: "I have been injured, and my life is not long." What's more, even if I don't get hurt, I can't fight any of you, let alone the two of you. You know, only the dead can be so fearless. ”

By the time Ling Ran and Ling Pingyang reacted, Dao Lin had already committed suicide. Looking at this pale young man, the two couldn't help but sigh.

Dongfang Yunrui learned about the whole thing and sighed.

"Lord Wang, are we going to report this matter to the emperor?" Ling Ran asked.

Ling Pingyang said with a smile: "Ling Ran, Ling Ran, although Dao Lin said so, but there is no proof of death, how can the emperor believe that this matter was done by Dongfang Haonan? According to what I see, we can only combine tonight's incident with the false and the true, and help Murong Bai get rid of his crimes." If you want to come to Dongfang Haonan, you won't say much, after all, talking too much will always reveal flaws, and with his mind, he won't do this kind of thing.

Dongfang Yunrui nodded, what Ling Pingyang said was exactly what he was thinking.

The next day, after Jian Yu sneaked into the cave, he saw Dao Lin dying there peacefully, and his pale face still had a bitter smile before death, and he couldn't help but be gloomy, and after staying for a while, he went back to the Nanwang Mansion to report.

Sure enough, the emperor exempted Murong Bai from the crime, and only fined him for one month to set an example.

Murong Bai was grateful to Dongfang Yunrui, and sent people to send a lot of gifts to Rui Wangfu, but they were returned untouched. There was no shortage of rare treasures in the Rui Wang's Mansion, how could these things get into his eyes. What's more, this time I helped out, not to let the General's Mansion have anything in return, for what, everyone knows it.

Murong Qingxue has recently changed her normal behavior and has not come out. It's not to learn from the ladies to focus on knitting women's red, but to organize their outfits and prepare to go far away.

"Miss, is there enough for so many things?" Xinyun checked on the side, coiling, changing clothes, sabers, etc., and had some of each, which should be enough.

Murong Qingxue looked at the things in her bag and wondered if there was anything missing, but she couldn't remember it, so she said, "Then that's it, it won't be wrong to bring more silver taels." ”

After Xinyun was tidied up, she sat on the stool with her ass and stared at Murong Qingxue with her chin propped up: "Miss, how long will it take for us to leave?"

This time I went out to investigate the mystery of my life experience and help my mother clear her name. Murong Qingxue calculated, at least a few days, at most half a month, should be able to find out. I heard my mother say that she had a marriage contract with the son of the Li family in Lincheng before, but because of the unpredictable changes in the world, the son of the Li family married someone else, and she also met Murong Bai, and since then Siluoto Arbor. It's just that on the eve of getting married, she met in the woods at the invitation of the son of the Li family, and the two were very surprised when they met, and they both said that they did not make an appointment to meet each other. But since I saw it, I talked about it, but I was bumped into by Murong Bai and the Jiang family, and from then on, the knot in my heart was buried, even if there was Murong Qingxue later, it was difficult to redeem my husband's heart, and it made the mother and daughter suffer for more than ten years.

However, her mother swore to the sky that she was innocent with the son of the Li family. Therefore, Murong Qingxue decided to say goodbye and personally verify the facts, which made Xinyun quickly pack up.

It's just that when I went to Lincheng, the road was far away, and the two girls' families were still a little worried when they went on the road alone. Moreover, after 17 years of separation, what is the current situation of the Li family's son, is he alive or dead? Or, does he still remember his mother?

A qiē is unknown, and this past year should be a good day and a good time. Even though there are thousands of customs, thousands of entanglements, and thousands of heartaches, who can you talk to?
