Chapter 38: Confrontation

Xia Shuanghan's words silenced everyone in the room. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ouyang Han: Xia Shuanghan, didn't you say that Lone's appreciation of you makes you feel guilty? Then you still have such a lion's mouth open, and you want such a big reward for opening your mouth?

Lin Xiran: Miss Xia, is it really good that you are so blatantly slapping your wishful thinking on the head of His Royal Highness the Prince? "A certain date in the future", which does not have a specific deadline, also indicates that you can actually wait until His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne before speaking. In that case, the reward you ask for is equivalent to the promise of the Son of Heaven! Miss Xia, you have such a big appetite, aren't you afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will turn against you?

Xia Shuanghan: Why should I refuse to take advantage of the advantages that I have taken advantage of? I'm not stupid! Besides, in my previous life, I knew that when today's son and the prince are both tolerant people, if you make a request, you will be punished for your words? If the belly is so small, how can you achieve a furrow in your chest and a good fortune in your heart?

"Good! As you say, I promise you this promise. After thinking for a moment, Ouyang Han generously agreed to Xia Shuanghan's request. After all, if Xia Shuanghan can help Da Xia eliminate the scourge of "Red and White Pills", what harm does it matter if she agrees to a small request?

"The people's daughter bows to His Royal Highness the Prince." Xia Shuanghan, who was about to get up and salute, was about to get up and salute, but was stopped by Ouyang Han again.

"No need to be polite." Ouyang Han said and turned to Lu Shaoyun and said, "It's not early, I'm going back to the palace." Tingxuan, Miss Xia will be handed over to you, and you will personally escort her back to Beijing tomorrow. Lin Zhutou-"

"Humble duty." Lin Xiran responded and walked in front of Ouyang Han to wait for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to show him.

"You will stay in this post station today, and return to Beijing tomorrow! Lonely let Lord Yao give you a day off. ”

"Thank you to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Okay, okay, I'm a little tired after a day of loneliness." Ouyang Han stood up as he spoke, motioned for his personal guards to follow, and then explained, "If Miss Xia has any other questions, let Tingxuan and Lin Zhu answer them for you", and then, Ouyang Han walked out of the room with the guards and rode back to the palace.

Jin Wuxi fell, and the hectic day finally ushered in the fall of night.

In the red glow, although Xia Shuanghan did have a lot of things to figure out, she decided to fill her hungry stomach first. Ten days ago, she made an appointment with Lin Xiran in the Zhenqu Pavilion, because the gate of the capital would be closed at the end of the day, and it took too long to travel to and from the waterfall in the depths of the vast mountain, so in order to have enough time to complete a painting that both buyers and sellers were satisfied with, on the night of March 25, Xia Shuanghan and Lin Xiran were going to stay in this post station five miles outside the village of Xiaotaohua Village.

At the beginning of the establishment of the post station in the territory of Great Xia, it was a place for the personnel who delivered the palace report and the war report to eat and lodging and change horses, and later because of the national Tai Min'an and Haiqing River Yan in the Great Xia territory, there were few war reports to be transmitted, so in order to maximize the role of the post station, fifty years after the establishment of the Great Xia Dynasty, all the post stations in the territory were open to officials at all levels and their accompanying families (of course, it was a paid opening). Therefore, as long as he follows Lin Xiran, who is of good quality and class, Xia Shuanghan can stay in a post station where the environment is safer and cleaner than that of ordinary inns. Of course, with the same high-grade Lu Shaoyun now, Xia Shuanghan lives more confidently.

"Tell me, what's going on today?" After dinner, Xia Shuanghan, who was gathered in Lu Shaoyun's house with Lin Xiran, was the first to speak, "Don't omit details or anything, finding out the ins and outs of things can at least make me feel better." ”

"I came up with all the ideas alone." As the mastermind of all today's incidents, Lu Shaoyun opened his mouth frankly and honestly: "Miss Xia, you know, the red and white pills have been sold in my Great Xia territory for a long time and have caused countless harms, and they have always been a stinger in the hearts of today's saints and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that they want to pull out but are difficult to remove. Since I returned from the border at the end of last year and assumed the post of deputy commander of Jin Wuwei, it has become my duty to investigate and destroy the red and white pills sold in the black market in Beijing. So, not long ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince assigned me the task of infiltrating Naming Village, and I originally planned to infiltrate the Rong caravan from Naming Village in the form of a merchant disguised as a merchant to complete the hidden mission. But then, I thought of Miss Xia's lineage and the advantage of close contact with the Rong caravan, so I made a proposal to the prince, hoping that Miss Xia could help us. ”

"I understand, after Gongzi Lu made a statement to His Royal Highness the Prince, in order to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince confirm whether I have the ability to complete this task, he planned these temptations today. But I have a question," Xia Shuanghan said and turned to Lin Xiran and said, "Lin Gongzi, shouldn't you explain it next, why is the matter of 'testing me' handed over to you, the arrester of Jingzhao Yin Yamen?" ”

"Because I also have a part in the task of infiltrating Naming Village, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince needs me to use the disguise technique I have mastered to help Tingxuan disguise." Lin Xiran naturally picked up the conversation and explained: "Of course, there is another reason in addition to this. At that time, Ting Xuan and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince both meant that since they wanted to test Miss Xia, it would be most appropriate for you to arrange an environment and case that was both true and false. The case of the robbery of the remains of the marriage in the vast mountains is real, but the case was solved more than half a month ago. The whole process of solving the case is exactly like what Miss Xia showed today, except that the person who solves the mystery and investigates the case has changed from Miss Xia to me. ”

"I planned to go into the depths of the vast mountains with my friends to watch the waterfall, and then have lunch in the forest guard's hut, and then noticed that there was something strange in the cemetery and confronted Uncle Shoulin, and finally determined the truth and escorted the gang of three to the yamen. When the case was solved, all the processes were the same as today, except that today's forest guards and their accomplices were disguised by our people, and the ambush on the way down the mountain was also set up by Ting Xuan with his idea. ”

"There's a question, did you prepare the ambush on the way down the mountain because you expected that I would detect everything suspicious in the graveyard and find the culprit?"

"It's not." Lu Shaoyun took the initiative of the topic back into his hands. "In fact, all of Miss Xia's performances today have greatly exceeded our expectations. According to our original setup, the task of solving the case is still handed over to Xiran to complete, and Miss Xia only needs to perform after Xiran is paralyzed. Of course, in order to ensure that our plan does not have loopholes in time, at that time, it was requested that Xiran finalize the specific time of your trip today in the True Fun Pavilion. After all, if you don't have a good time to get to the cabin at the foot of the vast mountain at noon, you won't be able to start your lunch and many other plans. ”

"That is to say, after Lin Gongzi was paralyzed, you are actually all appreciating me if I start to save myself?" Having said that, Xia Shuanghan began to feel angry again.

"There's absolutely no mentality to watch a good show." Lu Shaoyun and Lin Xiran hurriedly argued: "We just want to see that Miss Xia's ability to adapt to changes is not enough to deal with the needs of the hidden mission." It's just that Uncle Li's windward fall and dagger, the windy mountain road corner, the grassy slope without big stones and trees, and the waterhole with reeds are all carefully selected and arranged by us. ”

"In other words, after Lin Gongzi was paralyzed, the information I got from Uncle Li and his party, such as 'there is no fourth accomplice' and 'the two accomplices are villagers of Xiaopeach Blossom Village', were also deliberately revealed by you to test me? And I asked Lin Gongzi to pretend to be weak-legged and use an unclever discord to shake Uncle Li and his party, and the three of you deliberately pretended not to know and cooperated with me when you had clearly seen through my intentions? What was stunned by the wind, and what was deceived by the strip of cloth I hung on the bushes, all of them were played for me? ”

"Yes......" Lu Shaoyun and Lin Xiran responded weakly.

"Smack!" Xia Shuanghan clapped her hands on the wooden table angrily, she was careless, Lu Shaoyun told her in her previous life that in order to complete the hidden mission, there was also a person who was proficient in the art of disguise in the fake caravan he arranged. Although he didn't tell her who the disguiser was out of secrecy about the mission, she should have guessed! When Lin Xiran was patrolling in Jiangnan, he once caught a thief who was proficient in disguise, and his disguise technique must have been learned from that thief! How could she have forgotten such an important matter?

"You two are so good, you guys have worked together to deceive me so badly, do you know how many places I bumped and bumped into purple today? It's like being trampled by a cow! ”

"Poof." Lin Xiran smiled very unkindly, "Why has Miss Xia been trampled by a cow before?" ”
