Chapter 43: The Surge

In the first month of the year, the capital is still lively on the roads, with families walking the streets and alleys with gifts, and large families taking horse-drawn carriages to visit relatives and friends.

When Xia Xun came back, it was late at night on the fourth day of the first lunar month, and after he returned to the capital, he did not go back to Zidexuan, where the second prince lived, but stayed in an inn, which was the one where Su Meng stayed - Xiangkeju.

And the group of thugs were sneaked back to the sect by him, and there were some things they didn't need to know.

Under the flickering candlelight, he spread out the pen and ink, and when the ink was polished, he stopped thinking that this letter was to be written to the prince, but how could the prince believe it?

The wax torch turned to ashes, and he who has always been smart has a difficult day to write.

"Hey!" Putting down the pen, Xia Xun sighed, opened the window and looked outside, the sky was dark, only a few stars occasionally twinkled to show their existence.

The quieter he was, the more he found that his heart was not at peace, and he always thought of the girl with a sweet smile, but then he remembered her sad gaze, and he suddenly sobered up.

Clenched his fist rushed to the wall, the wooden window next to the wall almost shattered, the cold wind howled, he closed the window and looked at the pen and paper under the candlelight, and had to return to his seat to pick up the pen again.

The inside and outside of the leisurely residence were brightly lit, the atmosphere was tense, and the faces of each guard were very heavy.

"Prince, Sister Ling is now in Lingyun Sect." The crown prince Su Yuan, who was woken up by the assassin, held a note in his hand and whispered with a solemn expression.

Just now, a man in a black shirt came to the prince's mansion and was spotted by the guards guarding the door, and there was a confrontation, and the assassin finally escaped, leaving a letter behind.

This is obviously a letter delivery, otherwise why was it so easy to find out without even entering the mansion gate? If so, the Assassin would have failed too much.

"Your Highness, this letter ......" The chamberlain who was waiting for Su Yuan looked at the words on the paper and couldn't help but be worried.

"Whether this letter is true or not, check it first! As for the rumors, they must also be verified. Su Yuan clutched the note tightly and threw it into the furnace, which was instantly swallowed by the tongue of fire.

Rumors are always the fastest spreading, and people in the capital naturally know about the Lingyun Sect's treasures, and more of them are strange about the actions of the second prince.

As for the rumors of the princess, there are many less, after all, it is related to the royal reputation, and most of the Jianghu guests are silent.

"Yes!" The chamberlain quietly retreated and conveyed the prince's orders, while Su Yuan stared at the stove and didn't know what he was thinking.

The lights in the bedroom of the second prince of Zidexuan have not been turned off, Su Ze has not slept all night, Xia Xun has naturally been told when he returns to Beijing, but he has not returned! This made Su Ze, who had always been stubborn and self-serving, very angry in his heart, so he sent someone to watch carefully.

Although he knew Xia Xun's actions well, he had not yet guessed Xia Xun's purpose, so he only let them monitor him and did not forcibly bring him back.

"Your Highness, the crown prince has sent someone to Lingyun Sect!" A young man in a green shirt walked in and said.

This person's name is Gu Shaobai, he is the son-in-law of the Gu family, because he is unwilling to hide in the world, so he came to the capital to display his talents, and inadvertently met Su Ze, so he conspired with him.

Now he is the same age as Su Ze, both are eighteen years old, young and intelligent, with a clean appearance, and he is a dragon and phoenix among people. Unlike Su Ze's group of wives and concubines, Gu Shaobai did not marry a wife and take a concubine, in his words, the big thing was not accomplished, and he vowed not to marry a wife.

Su Ze squinted, pinched the blood jade in his hand, and snorted coldly: "He reacted quite quickly. ”

"Your Highness, this thousand-year-old snow lotus was found by you with great difficulty, so you let the prince ask for it so easily?" Gu Shaobai sat opposite Su Ze and asked.

"He's not going to leave that thing!" Su Ze's eyes were as fierce as a falcon, "What I fancied, he would never want to take away!" ”

Gu Shaobai was silent, and he didn't know what the master was going to do, but now that the prince had already made a move, he was sitting firmly in his own place.

The thousand-year-old snow lotus has the effect of prolonging life, and no one can resist this temptation.

"But after all, he is the crown prince, if the people of the Lingyun Sect don't know how to lift, what will happen when the time comes?" Gu Shaobai thought for a while before he asked, and now he felt more and more that this master was secretive.

"That thousand-year-old snow lotus is a longevity for ordinary people, and it is a panacea for those who practice martial arts! Although I don't know why Lingyun Sect has never used it in all these years, how can Lingyun Sect give up such a good thing at will? The corners of Su Ze's mouth curled slightly, and he smiled.

Gu Shaobai nodded approvingly, whoever it is, these things will not be handed over to others.

"Your Highness, what do we need to do next?"

"It's okay, continue to monitor the prince's leisurely residence, and if he makes any moves, notify me immediately." Su Ze instructed.

Gu Shaobai ordered to go down, leaving Su Ze staring at the candle flame and not knowing what he was thinking.

The early morning of the fifth day of the new year was extremely cold, Su Meng hid in the quilt and refused to come out, and the snowball jumped up and down on the step, and she was on fire for a while.

"Snowball, don't blame me for burning your hair with that candle flame!" Su Meng threatened viciously.

Snowball's body jumping in mid-air paused, fell to the ground with a snap, and then exploded and glared at Su Meng with big, round eyes.

Su Meng smiled, clumped her body together, and hummed comfortably twice in the quilt.

Ziyan entered the door and saw this scene, she couldn't help but laugh, she was angry with a cat, and threatened a cat.

The third princess of Jingguo, the first disciple of the sect master of Lingyun Sect, actually threatened a beast in order to sleep a little longer, I am afraid that there is no one else in this world except Su Meng!

When Snowball saw someone coming in, she could only burrow back into its cat nest and roll up her tail to protect her head, but through the hair of her tail, she could still see what was going on outside the cat bed.

"Huh? Snowball? There was no movement for a long time, Su Meng was very puzzled, Xueqiu usually likes to play with herself the most, and she will never give up if she doesn't wake herself up, why is it so quiet today?

Revealing a small head, her hair was messy like a bird's nest, and when she saw Ziyan sitting on the edge of her bed with a smile, Su Meng's face instantly turned pink.

"Teacher, senior sister, why are you here?" Su Meng pulled the quilt and protected her nose and mouth, leaving only the brain door and a pair of dripping eyes outside.

"It's three poles in the day, you lazy cat can't get up yet!" Ziyan crossed her arms and looked at the sky outside casually.

Before Su Meng could make a sound, the snowball in the cat's nest meowed, and Su Meng almost laughed when she heard it. It turned out that Ziyan scolded Su Meng for being a lazy cat with a smile, Xueqiu didn't do it, why did he say cat, and he had to add a lazy word!

Ziyan saw that Su Meng's eyes were crooked, and she knew that she was laughing, but she didn't understand what she was laughing at.

"How?" Ziyan asked.

Su Meng shook her head and said, "It's nothing!" ”

"Senior sister, isn't it the fifth day of the new year! And don't let you move, why are you here? ”
