Chapter Seventy-Seven: Snatching the Flute
Capturing this short flute sound, Xie Ning subconsciously moved forward, looking at Qin Xi in front of him with vigilance, but he was a step too late after all.
Not far away, there was a high neighing, and the white horse, with its hooves raised, suddenly galloped towards the courtyard wall.
"Your Highness, be careful!" Gu Qingyun screamed, which made everyone panic even more.
At the critical moment, a gray shadow came from outside the wall, tiptoe to the ground, a few flashes, and had caught up with the man and the horse.
"No trace," Qin Xi cursed in a low voice, his eyes suddenly became a little gloomy, and he reached out to touch his waist, but he didn't want to.
When he raised his head, he saw Xie Ning holding the jade flute that should have been hanging on his waist, chasing towards the traceless figure, and couldn't help but be furious. The anger was not alleviated until the sight of the figure struggling on horseback.
said that after Shainin caught up, he was a little stunned by the situation in front of him. Qin Feng crouched on the horse's back, letting the manic horse move, but his subordinates firmly grasped the reins, and the gentle and slow technique was definitely not something that a beginner could master. And then jumped on the horse's back without a trace, but did not make a move, but it was able to block everyone's sight.
The jade flute that had lured the horse to madness had already fallen into Xie Ning's hand, and the snow shadow's mania only lasted for a while before it regained its calm under Qin Feng's comfort.
Everyone walked towards them one after another, and Traceless, who was the first to dismount, helped Qin Feng to stand aside. Xie Ning lowered his head to hide the miscellaneous flavors in his heart, and tied the reins of the snow shadow to the tree on the side, but Gu Qingyun's concerned greetings came from his ears.
"Is Your Highness frightened?"
"No, cough," a light cough overflowed from Qin Feng's throat, and he didn't know if it was the root of the disease caused by the horse. Xie Ning turned around and stood beside Traceless, but his eyes looked at Qin Feng, concerned but not self-aware.
For his cough, Gu Qingyun was no longer surprised, frowned slightly, and sighed with laughter: "This snow shadow's temperament is inevitably too undocile, fortunately Wuxian came in time, otherwise His Highness would definitely be injured." ”
At the time of the incident, Gu Qingyun was not near Qin Xi, so naturally she couldn't hear that extremely subtle whisper, how could she find that Xue Ying's mania was manipulated, not a simple accident. Xie Ning touched the jade flute hidden in her arms, thoughtfully.
This snow shadow was given by the six princes, but it could be manipulated by this small jade flute, Qin Xi had set up this game early, if Qin Feng didn't know how to ride and shoot, wouldn't he and Qin Ze be injured at the same time?
I can't imagine that this rich and noble family has so many calculations hidden behind it. Xie Ning looked at Qin Hou and Qin Xi who stepped forward to greet Qin Feng, only to feel cold teeth.
After being frightened by this, everyone's interest was reduced by half, and after a simple meal, Xiao Yan took the lead in getting up and said goodbye: "The three highnesses are going to enter the palace for a banquet, so I won't bother and go home." Tomorrow we will see you off at the city gate. ”
Qin Hou helped on the side, and the banquet dispersed. Xie Ning was about to leave with Qin Feng and the others, but was stopped by Qin Xi: "Miss Xie, please stay." ”
Xie Ning turned around, secretly woke up his mind, and said in response: "If the prince has something to say, you might as well say it directly." ”
Qin Xi took a step forward, and his unusually handsome face moved a few inches closer, but Xie Ning on the opposite side didn't seem to be aware of it, still in an unmoved posture, staring coldly at his open and closed lips.
"Did Miss Xie take something from this king by mistake?" Qin Xi squinted his eyes slightly, showing a bit of gloom for no reason.
Seeing Gu Qingyun's figure standing nearby, Xie Ning suddenly smiled, raised his voice, and pretended to be stupid: "What His Highness said, why didn't I hear it clearly?" ”
Qin Xi glanced at her coldly, but still said in a low voice: "What I am talking about, you know it in your heart." ”
What about clear? Seeing that he was reluctant to make a noise, Xie Ning raised his eyebrows, and became more and more confident in his heart.
"Don't think that with such a broken flute, you can endure me!"
Qin Xi's whispered warning came from his ears, but Xie Ning only smiled lightly, "What the prince said is extremely true. It's just a broken flute, so why should you care? ”
As soon as the words fell, she opened up the distance between her and Qin Xi, and before turning around to leave, she was in a very good mood and did not forget to greet Gu Qingyun who was not far away, "Miss Gu is going back to the house?" ”
Gu Qingyun shook her head and said, "I still have something to talk about with His Royal Highness King Xuan, so I won't go with you, and I also ask Miss Xie to help inform His Royal Highness." ”
"Okay," the two didn't have a deep relationship, Xie Ning wouldn't rashly ask what she was going to do here, and after bowing slightly, he left.
Out of the Wangxian Tower, Xie Ning saw Qin Feng's plain-looking carriage with sharp eyes. There was no one outside the car, Xie Ning lifted the curtain and entered, only to find Qin Feng and Xiao Yan.
The atmosphere in the car was a little too dull, and Xie Ning intuitively looked around the faces of the two, feeling more and more strange. Qin Feng's behavior today is abnormal, but how can Xiao Yan, who has always liked gags, be so serious?
Looking at the corners of the two of them's tight lips, Xie Ning couldn't help but have a headache, and seeing that the two of them didn't speak, he said to Qin Feng: "Miss Gu asked me to tell you, she and His Royal Highness King Xuan still have something to discuss, so she won't go with us." ”
Qin Feng nodded lightly, lifted the curtain outside the window and took a look, and then ordered: "Send Xiao Gongzi back to Shangshu Mansion first, and then go back to the palace." ”
The carriage went on, and after about two alleys, it stopped. After Xiao Yan nodded to them and said goodbye, he got out of the carriage in silence.
Xie Ning has always been a rough character, and it was only when he heard Qin Feng talk about it today that he learned the identity of Xiao Yan's son, so he couldn't help but look out curiously. But seeing that the Zhumen of this Shangshu Mansion is tall, on the blue and white stone bricks, there are two majestic lions, and the height of the door is not inferior to the Jingyang Hou Mansion.
This is still Xie Ning's loneliness, if she knows that these two lions are carved from fine white marble, I am afraid that she will know a little more about the strength of this Xiao Mansion.
After Xiao Yan left, only she and Qin Feng were left in the car. Although Xie Ning felt that he was extremely alienated today, he still took out the jade flute in his arms and said to him: "Brother Ziyue, the snow shadow suddenly went crazy, and it was because of this flute. ”
Qin Feng took the flute, put it in his hand and looked at it, and said thoughtfully: "I remember that this is what Qin Xi admired today, and you snatched it from him?" ”
"That's right," Xie Ning touched his nose and admitted rather embarrassedly, "I was very close to him at the time, and I heard it very clearly. He just touched the flute lightly, and the snow shadow heard it. I'm in a hurry. ”
"I see," Qin Feng bowed slightly, looking at Xie Ning, "No wonder he stopped you before parting." ”
Seeing that Qin Feng had no intention of pursuing her move of 'snatching' the jade flute, Xie Ning's heart was relieved, and he quickly said what he thought in his heart, "His Royal Highness King Xuan is summoned, how dare I not go." Fortunately, I was clever, and I bet that he didn't dare to pursue it in front of Miss Gu, so I brought this jade flute back. ”
