Chapter Seventy-Eight: Strange Paths
"Are you sure it's a daughter?"
"The slave inquired, the Xiao family is the only one daughter, Miss Xiao is the pearl of Xiao Yuanwai's palm, but she can't speak since she was a child, so she named her Xiao Mo, I heard that she was cured later, and the person disappeared, and she was sixteen years old when she disappeared.

Liuyun then presented a picture scroll, and said: "The slave didn't dare to determine whether Xiao Gongzi was Miss Xiao Family, so the slave asked the people of the Xiao family to draw a portrait, but the slave still couldn't see it." ”
Ling Hao took the scroll and slowly unfolded it.
The woman on the painting has dignified eyebrows and eyes, this face is very familiar, Liuyun can't recognize it, but Ling Hao can tell it at a glance.
While Ling Hao was looking at the painting, Liuyun said again: "It is rumored that Miss Xiao was taken away by a foreign man, so ...... She has a bad reputation in Shuiyun County, and some people say that she recognizes money but not relatives. ”
Ling Hao turned a deaf ear, looked at the portrait, and whispered to himself: "Miss Xiao." ”
No one noticed the slight upward curvature of the corners of the lips.
Ling Hao then re-rolled the painting and put it aside, picked up the pen and continued to paint, and said: "This matter must not be spread outside." ”
Hearing Ling Hao's order, Liuyun guessed that the woman was Xiao Mo, and said hurriedly: "Xiao Mo, as a woman, dared to deceive the prince into the palace. ”
"Xiao Mo was brought back to the house by this king, how can he deceive and get involved." Ling Hao put down his pen and glanced at the finished painting, "Order someone to make an identical lamp according to this painting." With that, he picked up the portrait and got up to leave.
In the garden outside the frost and snow residence, Xiao Mo practiced archery day after day, if ordinary people's archery skills were as perfect as her, most of them would be slack off because they were satisfied with the status quo, but Xiao Mo never slackened.
Countless times hit the bull's-eye, countless times to pull out the arrow and come again, Frost Snow House did not call the minions, Xiao Mo took the arrow and pulled the arrow alone, and in the early morning of not going to the Regency Palace, the figure came and went in front of the arrow target and the door of Frost Snow House all morning.
Xiao Mo pulled out the arrow, turned around and looked at the figure standing in front of the arch.
"Master."
Ling Hao approached and looked at the arrow target, the bull's-eye was already full of holes, and it could be seen that the arrow was not missing.
"Why is the master here?" Xiao Mo was puzzled, he should have watched the recital in Tianfang Pavilion at this time in the past.
Ling Hao looked around and asked Xiao Mo, "Are you still used to living in this place?" ”
Xiao Mo smiled: "Why did you think of asking this?" Looking left and right, it's been so long, and I'm not used to it, not to mention that she just doesn't like the name very much.
"If you can't get used to it, you can choose any place in the palace."
In the past, Ling Hao asked Li De to arrange everything for Xiao Mo in the mansion, and Xiao Mo was always the person next to Ling Tianxu in Li De's eyes, so he didn't care about it, and settled Xiao Mo in this small frost and snow residence, if it was a man, it didn't hurt to live casually, but now Ling Hao looked at this place as if it was a little inappropriate.
"There's nothing wrong here, since the master is here, why don't you see if my archery skills have improved?"
Xiao Mo said, took an arrow and opened the bow to lead the string, and the arrow hit the bull's-eye, without deviation.
"How can this be seen?"
All the arrows hit that position, and they were able to hit the bull's-eye when Xiao Mo competed with the palace guards.
"That'...... So how do you know if it's working? ”
Ling Hao walked to Xiao Mo's side, took the bow in her hand, took three other arrows, and placed them on the string at the same time, pulled the bow in an instant, and the three arrows fired together, all of them hit.
"Try it." Ling Hao said lightly and gave the bow to Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo was a little embarrassed, and frowned: "This ...... It's also too ...... It's too hard. ”
If it's one arrow, just settle on one arrow, if it's three...... How can she concentrate her energy, she can't do it......
"Surrender?"
"Not convinced!"
Xiao Mo took the bow and said to himself, "Isn't it just three arrows." ”
She never knew what it was to bow to the wind, and everything had to be won or lost.
I had some confidence, but as soon as this arrow was put up, I was suddenly a little at a loss, Xiao Mo's eyes swept up and down, which arrow should I pay attention to?
Xiao Mo looked at Ling Hao, he still looked indifferent, standing there as if he didn't care about himself, except for governing the country and dispatching troops, shouldn't the master teach archery?
Helpless, I had to try first, as soon as the hook string's hand was loosened, the three arrows shot straight at the target, but gradually dispersed, and finally only two fell on the target, and there was still some distance in the bull's-eye......
Lose ...... Thorough......
Xiao Mo lowered his hand, sighed lightly, and looked at Ling Hao with a bitter face: "Master, can you give me advice?" ”
"Try to think of three arrows as one arrow."
Xiao Mo did so, but if he really did three arrows in one, it would not be a day's work.
But since Ling Hao can, Xiao Mo believes that she will definitely be able to do it!
An autumn breeze is bleak, the courtyard is deep, and the fallen leaves are like rain.
Xiao Mo tried again and again, and let the three arrows be on the target, which is also an improvement, isn't it?
Xiao Mo was pleased, put down his bow and looked at Ling Hao, and slowly approached him, standing in front of him.
Ling Hao looked at the person in front of him silently, still expressionless.
Xiao Mo slowly stretched out his hand and pulled off the dead leaf on his head.
Ling Hao turned around and wanted to go, and left another sentence, "Practice hard, the prince of Qi has already set off to send a letter to the capital." ”
Xiao Mo threw the leaf in his hand, looked at Ling Hao's departing figure, and couldn't help laughing, what do you mean? Have you practiced shooting Qin He's three arrows this time?
After a while, he smiled again, Qin He came to Handu, she was helpless, she couldn't take revenge on the battlefield, not to mention that he came to negotiate peace, he was injured in Handu, then this sin will undoubtedly fall on the head of the entire Yan Kingdom.
Xiao Mo hadn't entered the palace for many days, and as soon as he came out of the regent's palace, he saw the figure he didn't want to see for the time being.
Even if he knew that Ling Tianxu had set up a banquet just to test whether Ling Hao was provoked by the assassin and had no intention of harming him, but with an assassination that day, the knot in Xiao Mo's heart was easy to knot and difficult to unravel.
Even if it is standing head-on, it is like a stranger, who would have thought that it would become such a situation now.
The world is impermanent, and providence makes people.
Xiao Mo stopped in front of the hall gate, and Ling Tianxu walked quickly in front of her.
"Xiao Mo, I ......"
Before he finished speaking, the figure that came out of the hall made Ling Tianxu have to pause.
Xiao Mo kept his eyes calm and didn't say a word, Ling Hao stood behind Xiao Mo, and he didn't mean to leave.
Ling Tianxu looked at it and said coldly, "Uncle Huang, can you allow me to say a few words to Xiao Mo." ”
"Your Majesty should ask Xiao Mo if he agrees."
"Xiao Mo ......"
"I'm ......" Xiao Mo paused, it shouldn't be like this between them, the gap between him and Ling Hao also needs to be resolved as soon as possible, and Jiang Li can't believe it anymore......
In this case, she is the only one who can put her beak.
"Master." Xiao Mo looked back at Ling Hao.
Ling Hao understood, nodded his head, and took the first step.
Xiao Mo and Ling Tianxu entered the Regent Hall and closed the door of the palace.
"Say whatever you want."
"Things are not what you think, those assassins I have ordered them not to harm you before......" The assassins sent out did not come back for a long time to report, until they saw the big inner waist card left by Ling Hao that day, Ling Tianxu knew that the assassination failed, and the assassins were all killed, and Xiao Mo probably also experienced that assassination, she probably misunderstood to be so cold to him.
Xiao Mo squinted at Ling Tianxu and raised his lips: "Why don't you let them kill me together?" (To be continued.) )
