When I returned to the "Lotus Garden", it was already late. As soon as I walked into the garden, I saw Ling Yun sitting in a pavilion by the lotus pond, as if drinking. When he saw me, he stood up at once, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything, and slowly sat down again.

I came across from him, sat down, and asked, "Are you waiting for me?" ”

Ling Yun smiled coldly and said, "It seems that you are in a good mood. ”

I pouted, touched my face, and said, "It's okay." ”

Ling Yun snorted lightly and said, "It's okay, it's not like before. ”

I raised my eyebrows and smiled, "What do you mean by Brother Ling?" ”

Ling Yun suddenly asked in a deep voice, "Miss, has you figured it out?" Do you want to be with Jiang Yunxiu? ”

I didn't think much about it, nodded and said, "I think clearly, I want to be with Jiang Yunxiu." ”

"You ......" Ling Yun was speechless for a moment, probably he didn't expect me to answer so directly.

"Do you know that Xiangye is coming?" He seemed to ponder for a long time before he spoke.

I snapped my eyes and asked, "What?" ”

"Xiangye is coming. One is to reward the three armies on the orders of the emperor, and the other is to take the young lady back to the house. "Ling Yun said it very well this time.

"I'm not going back." I stood up and shook my head, "I don't want to go back, I'm going to wait here for the third brother to come back." ”

Ling Yun looked unfathomable and said, "Do you want to wait for the Third Young Master to come back, or do you want to be with His Royal Highness the Nine?" ”

I replied nonchalantly, "Whatever you say, I won't go back anyway." Daddy can't come in person. ”

Ling Yun sighed and said, "Whatever." According to the time, Xiangye should arrive in three days. ”

I suddenly thought of something and asked, "Does Jiang Yunxiu know about this?" ”

Ling Yun thought for a while and replied, "The news I just received today, Jiang Yunxiu's side shouldn't be so fast, but in a few hours, I believe I will also receive the news." ”

I let out a "hmm", thinking about how I could get through Ding Xiang's pass, and slowly returned to the room.

But things didn't go the way I wanted them to.

At noon the next day, Ling Yun came to me in a hurry and told me the shocking news that Ding had been assassinated, and his life and death were unknown. Ling Yun wants to go to the place where Ding met and assassinated him immediately, I am very anxious, although Ding Xiang is not a real father and daughter, but after all, he has been raising me for many years, and he has actually been very protective of me. Ling Yun didn't want to take me because the road was really dangerous, but he couldn't resist me, so he had to give in.

We took Xiao Wu and a dozen other secret guards out of the city on horseback and headed south, day and night, and arrived at the accident site at noon the next day. It's a big mountain hundreds of miles away from Anseong, and I didn't feel anything when I passed it with Jiang Yunxiu last time, but this time, I felt that the mountain path covered by big branches was divided into mountains.

When we left the city, we didn't inform Jiang Yunxiu, but just asked Lan Ling to inform us after we left. Originally, I wanted to ask him for help, but in the end, Ding Xiang came to Qincha. But Lingyun just didn't allow it, and when he asked him the reason, he was also secretive, so he had to give up.

It was not difficult to find the location of the attack quickly, and there were many corpses of people dressed as guards. However, we searched around, but we couldn't find Ding Xiang. However, looking at Ling Yun's expression, it seemed to be a lot more relaxed, I think it should be that the bodies of the people who personally protected Ding Xiang were not found, so Ling Yun judged that Ding Xiang was still alive.

I wondered in my heart that if we hadn't met when we came, Ding Xiang would have been escorted back to Beijing. When he told Ling Yun about this idea, he didn't say anything about it. I always thought he already knew something, but he just wouldn't tell me, and I felt a little angry. It finally broke out when Ling Yun ordered to return to Anseong.

"Lingyun, I haven't found Ding Xiang yet, why do you want to go back to Ancheng? If you want to go, I won't go back. I shouted to Ling Yun, who was walking in front.

Ling Yun reined in his horse, turned around and frowned: "I've been looking for several hours and haven't found it, it's about to get dark, if you don't leave here, if the bandits haven't gone far, Miss will be very dangerous." ”

I gently pinched the horse's back, and my horse slowly walked forward, walking side by side with Ling Yun, I lowered my voice and said, "Unless you tell me the whereabouts of Xiangye." ”

Ling Yun also said softly: "Miss, my subordinates really don't know. Even if he knew, he wouldn't tell Miss. ”

I was even angrier and asked, "Why?" What do you mean by that?"

Ling Yun sneered and said, "Miss thinks that why Xiangye is in danger this time?" Who did it?"

I don't really understand what he meant, before that, I had always heard him say that it was a bandit and bandits, and now I heard him say this, could it be someone else?

I looked at him with some confusion, suddenly reacted, and said in a lost voice: "You mean His Royal Highness the Nine?"

Ling Yun snorted coldly: "Hmph, this time to reward the three armies, Xiangye didn't want to take this errand, but thinking that Miss was here, he wanted to take you back by the way." Last time, Ling Yun told the young lady that now Xiangye is a thorn in the emperor's eye and a thorn in the flesh, but because of the relationship between Xiangye and most officials in the court, he didn't dare to move him, and he didn't dare to set up the fourth highness as the prince, and he was openly an enemy of Xiangye. Now if Xiangye is assassinated, I am afraid that the happiest people are the emperor and the four highnesses...... Who doesn't know, His Highness the Ninth is the good brother of His Highness ......"

I understood the meaning of Ling Yun's words, which meant that the emperor did not dare to publicly clean up Ding Xiang, so he thought of a plan to let Ding Xiang leave the capital and be assassinated on the way. As long as Ding Xiang dies, those ministers who are good friends with him will naturally be leaderless, and it is a good time for the emperor to recentralize power.

Ling Yun's analysis is very reasonable, but I don't think Jiang Yunxiu should take on this matter, even for my sake, he shouldn't come to hurt Ding Xiang. But this speculation, after I saw him, was completely uncertain.

We met Kang Yoon-su on the way out of the mountain, but strangely, he didn't come from the direction of Anseong, but from the other side of the mountain. He saw me with an unnatural expression.

I started to beat the drum in my heart, but I still asked him, "Why is Brother Jiu here?" Did you come here after receiving a notice from Lan Ling that you knew I was here?"

He hesitated for a moment and replied, "Ah~ Yes, Lan Ling said that you came to look for Ding Xiang, so I came over to see if there was anything I could help." ”

Ling Yun rode up to the two of us and said, "Thank you for the general's concern, but we haven't found Xiangye either, and ask the general to send more people out to find it." ”

Jiang Yunxiu replied very cautiously: "Don't worry, Xiangye came to Ancheng this time to reward the three armies, and it is Qincha, I will definitely find Xiangye and protect him." Then he looked at me, nodded at me, and said, "Don't worry." ”RS
