Chapter 20: A Few Episodes of Wind and Snow (2)
Everyone in the tent gasped, and there was a chaotic noise outside the tent, and the sound of footsteps mixed with the sound of whirling wind and snow struck the heartstrings from time to time.
Ning Yan threw up her long sleeves and walked out of the big tent quickly, thinking quickly. Ask the messenger: "What is the situation, carefully talk about it with this palace!" ”
"Back to the princess, the emperor and General Meng went to inspect the barracks together. The emperor also shook hands with his brothers and asked them about their food and warmth, and everyone was very happy. Later, a person suddenly appeared in the team, drew a knife and stabbed the emperor. The emperor was close and defenseless, and was stabbed in the arm. General Meng immediately captured the assassin who was about to escape...... Only to find out that the assassin was actually a woman! ”
Ning Yan stopped suddenly, her delicate cheeks as cold as ice. Sideways asked him, word by word, "Female assassin?" ”
The man hurriedly knelt down: "Go back...... Back to the eldest princess...... Yes...... It's a woman. ”
With a sneer, her cheeks turned paler and paler, and she raised her leg out of the big tent. Behind him, Qingluan hurriedly took the hand stove and followed.
Dressed in black armor, Meng Jue walked over from the training ground with steady steps. With a stern expression on his handsome face like a knife, he bowed to Ning Yan. He said in a deep voice: "Please rest assured, the eldest princess, the emperor is fine, and he is now bandaged at the military doctor." ”
"Where's the assassin?"
"I have been imprisoned in a prison camp, waiting for the eldest princess and the emperor to leave."
Ning Yan nodded: "Take the palace to the emperor." ”
The snow was so deep that it barely reached the calf, making it harder to walk. Ning Yan wanted to fall to the ground several times, but was vigorously supported by Meng Jue behind her. After repeating it a few times, Meng Jue suddenly stepped forward and hugged Ning Yan horizontally, and then strode forward.
Ning Yan was stunned for a moment, and when she reacted, she was already in a warm and calm embrace.
She was a little embarrassed, and after struggling for a while, she said slowly: "Xin...... Thank you for your hard work, General Meng. ”
Meng Jue's low, soft voice came from overhead. "It's the last general who has transgressed, and the last general is willing to be punished!" He breathed evenly and vigorously, holding Ning Yan as lightly as if holding a piece of feather.
And she couldn't help but think of Gu Mingxuan, his light skills are superb, and it is estimated that no one in the world can match him. Even if you hold her, you can easily jump up the mountains and deep valleys, as free and light as the wind. How could she think of him, it was really not a good time, she tried hard to suppress the sudden inexplicable feelings.
"Let me go!"
Meng Jue slowly put her down, then took a step back and followed behind Ning Yan in silence.
When the curtain was lifted, the tent was already small, and it was even more crowded at the moment. As soon as Duan Ye saw Ning Yan's figure, he hurriedly knelt down.
"Long ...... Eldest Princess...... Old Slave ...... Damn the old slave! Didn't protect the emperor well. ”
As soon as Duan Ye knelt, the rest of the people knelt down, and the people who knelt down in a tent were suppressed. In addition to Zheng Yu, who was lying down, there was also a rather dazzling purple shadow sitting leisurely on the side, looking at her idlely, fiddling with her long black hair.
She glanced at Yun Xiu coldly, and didn't say anything to let Duan Ye and the others get up. He only smiled and walked up to Zheng Yu and asked, "How is the injury?" Is it strict? ”
The young man's face was a little pale, but his lips were more vivid as blood. He slowly hooked a smile, took Ning Yan's hand and said, "Let the imperial sister worry, Yu'er is fine." ”
Ning Yan grabbed his arm and looked at it carefully before reassuringly said, "It's okay, it's okay." Then he turned to look at the person who was kneeling in the room and rebuked coldly: "Everyone will be fined for one month!" Duan Ye, after returning to the palace, he will go to the inner court to receive twenty rods! ”
Duan Ye hurriedly buckled his head and thanked him: "The old slave knocks on the eldest princess!" Thank you, Your Majesty! ”
"Meng Jue, since the emperor was injured in your army, this matter will be left to you to investigate, and you must give an explanation to the palace within three days."
"The last general commands!"
"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess seems to be inappropriate in this move." Yun Xiu got up slowly, with a faint smile in his purple eyes, "In broad daylight, if an assassin dares to assassinate the emperor, he must have been instigated by a traitor. Such a matter that does not take me Donghe in his eyes should naturally be handed over to Dali Temple for a thorough investigation and find out the mastermind behind the scenes. General Meng is a martial artist, I'm afraid I won't be able to wade into this troubled water......"
"How to deal with this palace has its own decision, and there is no need for Lord Yun Xiu to worry about it!"
"Or ...... The eldest princess knows this assassin ......"
Before he finished speaking, he only heard the sound of a sharp blade coming out of the sheath. Meng Jue held the sword in one hand and scolded Yun Xiu coldly: "Don't be rude to the eldest princess!" ”
Yun Xiu laughed helplessly, paced slowly in a few steps, stretched out his slender fingers and flicked them lightly on the sword. There was a "buzz", but the long sword was shaken, and it was almost blown away.
Meng Jue looked at Yun Xiu in horror, and although the sword in his hand was firmly held, he still couldn't stop trembling. What a strong internal force this is, but it seems to contain a thousand powers when touched lightly.
Yun Xiu patted him on the shoulder casually and said with a smile: "As for the sword, everyone can take it." But whether it was a kill or a suicide is unknown. ”
Meng Jue's face turned pale, and he put away his sword in silence and took a step back.
Ning Yan sneered: "Lord Yun is so good as a teacher, it's a pity not to be a master." ”
"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is really good, and Weichen is also considering it." Yun Xiu actually thought about it very seriously and replied with a smile.
"Everyone is ready to go back to the palace! Mengjue, you send someone to take the Assassin to the prison for trial in the future. She turned her head and smiled at Zheng Yu again, and said softly: "After returning to the palace, I will rest for a long time, let the imperial doctor go and take a look." So saying, a man strode out of the tent and threw down a tent with all his thoughts.
Qingluan was about to go out with her, but heard her unwavering sentence "Don't follow".
The night was over, and the wind and snow were much heavier than when they came. The sky was like a huge hand, enveloping it endlessly, and cold, piercing, and inexplicable suffocation gushed out in such a silent night.
The cold wind poured in frantically from the neckline and cuffs, grabbing the last trace of warmth on the body. She walked aimlessly, even though the snow was knee-high by this time, and every step was as difficult as the rest of the world. The snow seeped into her shoes and socks, and it was bitterly cold, but she didn't seem to feel it at all, and her hands and feet were numb from the cold.
I don't know how long I walked, but I felt like I had come to the lake. The dark surface of the lake was blown by the night wind, and all that was left on the shore was the withered yellow reeds pressed in the thick deep snow.
At this moment, a melodious sound of the piano came from the distant lake. The sound of the piano is loud, rising to the sky, open and spacious. One string and one tone are like ice and snow in the Tianshan Mountains, cleansing the heart and making people feel refreshed.
Ning Yan squinted her eyes and saw a flat boat on the lake against the wind and snow, slowly walking towards this place.
