He remembered that Xiao Mo liked peach blossoms. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The light of the light illuminated the two of them, Xiao Mo looked at Ling Hao, a smile slowly bloomed on his lips, and he reached out to take the lantern: "Thank you." ”
When he raised his hand, Xiao Mo saw the red rope covered by the sleeve through the gap in the sleeve, and then looked at the lamp in her hand, she thought, maybe this is just an exchange of courtesy.
On the night of Qixi Festival, how many women are looking forward to finding a wishful husband today.
Xiao Mo carried the lamp and glanced left and right all the way, Ling Hao was only followed by two men, and the eyes of the beauties were cast unscrupulously, and His Royal Highness King Jing still had no one in his eyes, Xiao Mo's heart was a little uneasy.
As the night gets deeper, the street is bustling with people.
Suddenly, Xiao Mo swept a dazzling light, and when he looked at it again, it was a dagger, rushing out of the crowd and stabbing Ling Hao.
"Be careful!" Xiao Mo was stunned, lost the lamp in his hand, pulled Ling Hao, and dodged the dagger.
The dagger-wielding assassin slashed Xiao Mo's sleeve with a backhand, almost injuring Xiao Mo.
Suddenly, several assassins disguised as civilians burst out of the crowd and approached the two of them.
"The Lord has commanded that the masked man should not be harmed."
Although the voice was small, Xiao Mo could hear it clearly, and he was faintly stunned, and he had already guessed something in his heart.
Hidden Wind and Hidden Fog rolled over and jumped down, and opened up with the assassins, but the killers were so numerous that the two of them could not cope for a while.
The people fled in all directions, and the scene was chaotic.
Taking advantage of the hidden wind and hidden fog to drag the assassin, Ling Hao grabbed Xiao Mo's wrist instead: "This way." He took Xiao Mo and retreated to the side alley.
"Who dares to assassinate the master?"
Ling Hao didn't answer, and continued to walk towards the remote place with her.
"Yes...... Your Majesty? ”
This sentence, Xiao Mo asked extremely difficult, she had already guessed what the assassin said before, there was only one person who would not hurt her, and that was Ling Tianxu.
Ling Hao was still silent......
"Is it really him?"
"Don't blame Xu'er."
With this indifferent sentence, Xiao Mo was stunned, what she was most worried about still happened.
Ling Hao said again: "There is one more person with a bad heart around Xu'er. ”
Xiao Mo thought for a moment, his brows furrowed: "Jiang Li? He was still running for his life at the moment, and he was already being pulled all the way by Ling Hao.
Since he had long known about Ling Tianxu's courtiers, why was he indifferent?
"Since the master knows that Jiang Li's heart is not right, why don't you stop Your Majesty."
"It's counterproductive."
Ling Hao only said these four words, Xiao Mo only understood that if Ling Hao stopped him, it would make Ling Tianxu feel that Ling Hao was jealous of Jiang Li and obeyed him, so the more Ling Hao stopped it, the more Ling Tianxu would trust Jiang Li and entrust him with important tasks.
Along the way, there were no more assassins, and later it was learned that this assassination was not precisely planned, Ling Hao's itinerary to reply to the capital was beyond the expectations of the assassins, not to Jinshan but to bypass Yuguan, early in the morning to Yuguan still in Yuguan, staying in the day to the evening before leaving the inn, such an unusual arrangement disrupted the assassin's overall plan, had to hastily assassinate on the street.
Xiao Mo looked at Ling Hao, it turned out that he had long known the danger of this trip, and he couldn't help but admire his shrewdness, which could drive the assassin into a corner.
When he arrived at the city wall, it was safe for the time being, and Ling Hao let go.
Running all the way to escape, tired and out of breath, Xiao Mo leaned against the city wall and gasped, looked up at the sky, the night of Qixi Festival, the day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl met, it was a beautiful day, but she experienced a thrilling experience.
Xiao Mo turned his eyes to look at Ling Hao, there were still beads of sweat on his forehead, and he couldn't help but chuckle, His Royal Highness King Jing also had a time when he was hiding in Tibet?
Ling Hao heard the laughter, looked at Xiao Mo, and said lightly, "What are you laughing at." ”
"At a critical juncture, the master does not forget to preach and receive a job."
Seeing that Ling Hao was inexplicable, Xiao Mo looked at the sky and smiled and said, "Teach me to go on the thirty-sixth." ”
Xiao Mo blinked his eyes, and by the moonlight, he saw the corners of his lips slightly raised, and he was stunned, this is ...... Laughed?
Even if it is only for a moment, it is really rare, Xiao Mo is slightly relieved, this night is unforgettable.
After waiting for a while, Hidden Wind and the others came over.
"Your Majesty, the Assassin has cleaned it up and found it on the Assassin."
Hidden Wind presented a waist card.
It was dark and I couldn't see what was written on the waist card, Ling Hao took it, rubbed it with his fingertips, and knew it in his heart.
Handu City, again, the situation in this city is no longer the same.
Does Ling Tianxu start to attack Ling Hao mean that in the few months that she and Ling Hao left Handu, Ling Tianxu and Jiang Li had already planned everything, but Xiao Mo didn't know what they were going to do.
As soon as he returned to the palace, Li De came to report: "Welcome to the prince, Your Majesty sent someone to invite the prince into the palace, saying that he wanted to wash the dust for the prince in the palace." ”
Xiao Mo was uneasy, he thought that Ling Hao would refuse, but he didn't expect him to nod and answer.
"Master."
Ling Hao looked back at Xiao Mo and said indifferently: "I was not afraid that Xu'er would come to the palace before, but now I am afraid that I will enter the palace?" ”
"Because ......," Xiao Mo paused.
"Don't worry." Ling Hao said nothing, turned around and entered the mansion.
In the past, Ling Tianxu was uninvited, this is to go, which one is premeditated, is it not clear? How could she not be worried.
In the evening, the palace gate opened, and Xiao Mo followed Ling Hao towards the Imperial Palace.
Ling Tianxu and Jiang Li and other ministers waited on the Danbi in front of the Imperial Palace.
"Your Majesty, see Your Majesty."
Ling Tianxu's gaze glanced at Xiao Mo first, and when he saw her come back safely, he looked pleased.
When Xiao Mo followed Ling Hao to salute, he also looked up at Ling Tianxu, but his gaze was full of ...... Chill.
Ling Tianxu's face suddenly darkened, he turned to look at Ling Hao, and said in a calm voice, "Uncle Huang is exempt." ”
This sound of Uncle Huang made Xiao Mo even more worried, what the hell was Ling Tianxu going to do!
"Uncle Huang personally went to the border to supervise the war, and I went to work hard, I am here today to welcome Uncle Huang back and wash the dust for Uncle Huang." Ling Tianxu instructed again, "Come on, serve wine." ”
Wine!
Xiao Mo was shocked for a moment, no one better understood what a hateful drink could become!
The inner supervisor walked over to Ling Tianxu with two glasses of wine.
Ling Tianxu picked up one of the cups first, and then said to Ling Hao, "Uncle Huang, please." ”
At this time, it is too late to take a drug test!
Seeing that Ling Hao wanted to raise his hand, Xiao Mo didn't think much about it, he took a step ahead of him and picked up the wine on the plate, and said to Ling Tianxu: "Your Majesty, the prince was injured before, and he can't drink, this glass of wine, I will be the master Xie Your Majesty Longen." ”
"Xiao Mo!"
As soon as Ling Tianxu shouted, Xiao Mo had already drunk the glass of wine, and raised his lips and smiled: "Your Majesty." ”
Jiang Li accused: "Bold, you dare to ...... in front of Your Majesty and the prince"
"Xiao Mo is rude, it is the teaching of this king, who is a master, who is wrong."
Ling Hao's tepid words, no one dared to say anything more.
A night banquet, the atmosphere in the hall is almost condensed.
Ling Tianxu's eyes kept looking at Xiao Mo who was sitting behind Ling Hao, but Xiao Mo never paid attention to him from the moment he entered this hall, Ling Tianxu's face became more and more gloomy, and he left unhappily before the banquet was halfway through.
When Ling Hao left, he left the waist card on the banquet table.
On the way back, in the dead of night, Xiao Mo sat in the carriage with a depressed expression.
"If that glass of wine is really poisonous, do you know ......?"
"Master." Xiao Mo interrupted him, his eyes calm, "Even if that wine is poisonous, I should drink it, he won't let me die, but he won't let the master go." ”
The wine is not poisonous, she is fine, Xiao Mo knows that in this way, I am afraid that it will be a stiffness, but she does not regret it at all, even if she starts again, she still has no hesitation.
Ling Hao looked at Xiao Mo, his soft gaze becoming deeper and deeper......
The autumn sun sprinkled the morning light, the courtyard was silent, and Ling Hao sat in front of the desk by the clear pond of the Tianfang Pavilion, holding a pen and tracing quietly on the paper.
"Lord Wang, Liuyun is back." Listen to the rumors on the side.
"See the prince." Liuyun came to salute.
Ling Hao's hand holding the pen paused, looked sideways slightly, and asked, "What did you hear?" ”
"Back to the prince, there is indeed a big family surnamed Xiao in Shuiyun County, and the head of the family is a wealthy businessman, known as Xiao Yuanwai."
"Go on."
"None of Xiao Yuanwai's five sons is named Xiao Mo, but ...... However, the Xiao family has a daughter named Xiao Mo who has been missing for a year. ”
