Ruan Zijin frowned slightly, took the note from Liu Leshan's hand, opened it and glanced at it, and his eyes instantly widened.

Jiu'er watched from the side, snatched the paper in Ruan Zijin's hand with doubts, glanced at it, and said incredulously: "What's going on?" ”

"Actually, I wonder that just now, when I was about to chase you, an arrow suddenly shot straight at me. I thought it was going to kill me, but I dodged it, and the arrow stuck in the ground. I looked down and saw the note tied to the end of the arrow. Liu Leshan roughly talked about the situation just now.

At that time, he was also taken aback when he saw this note, which clearly read: The old house of the Jian family has a gold medal for avoiding death.

"Is this true?" Jiu'er took the note and asked Liu Leshan seriously. It's not a trivial matter, and if it does, it would come in handy.

"I don't know about that! Master never said that. Liu Leshan lowered his head and said a little ashamedly.

"I don't know if it's true or not, what should I do? This is Kyoto, if you rush to Yangxin County day and night, it will take seven days to go back and forth at the earliest, and there are too many variables in these seven days. Ruan Zijin asked with a frown.

"I'd like to believe it's true. After all, Master had won the championship of the God of Food Contest four times during his lifetime, and no one knew what Master had asked the emperor for. So, even if there is a gold medal for avoiding death, it is not surprising. Liu Leshan pondered for a moment and said what he thought.

"I'm willing to believe it once, too." Jiu'er then said, "Now that I think about it, those black-clothed people just now seem to be trying to prevent us from breaking into the prison, maybe they gave this note." Even if we stay in Kyoto now, we won't be able to affect the situation, so there's really no need for them to let us leave. ”

Listening to Liu Leshan and Jiu'er's words, Ruan Zijin also fell into deep thought. She was thinking. If there is someone who helps them, who will this person be?

"Well, someone here in Kyoto has to stay. In order to keep abreast of the latest news from Ning'er. But someone must also go to Yangxin County, whether there is that gold medal for avoiding death or not. You have to go to find it before you are willing. Liu Leshan said to Ruan Zijin and Jiu'er strictly.

"Then I'll go to Yangxin County! You stay. Ruan Zijin said immediately when he heard this. At her pace, she should be able to go back and forth in seven days.

"I must go to Yangxin County, and there is no one here who knows Jian Zhai better than me. If you go, you may not really find it. Liu Leshan did not refuse Ruan Zijin's words, but he also had his own insistence.

Ruan Zijin originally wanted to refuse, because one person always comes faster than two. And Liu Leshan is an ordinary person, she has to take care of his body along the way, and the speed will be a lot slower.

But then I thought of what Liu Leshan said, and it was indeed not wrong. She had never been to Jane's old house so far. Really don't know anything about there. If there is a secret box or something, it may not be able to be found.

Liu Leshan saw that Ruan Zijin and Jiu'er did not object, and then said to Jiu'er: "Ninth girl, then please stay in Kyoto to find out the news." Please also keep Xi'er safe. ”

Jiu'er nodded seriously and said, "If there is any news, I will fly the pigeon to pass it on to you." ”

After the plan was made, Ruan Zijin and Liu Leshan went directly towards the gate of Kyoto, and they didn't even return to the inn.

On the other side, after Feng Yang retreated with the group of secret guards just now, he went directly back to the palace to report to Xiahou Yan.

"Master, the matter has been done. Liu Leshan and the woman named Ruan Zijin had already headed towards the city gate. The one from the Valley of Freedom returned to Huayuwu. Feng Yang knelt in front of Xiahou Yan and respectfully reported the current situation.

"What's the situation in Yangxin County?" Xiahou Yan asked lightly.

"This time, except for our people. The subordinates also found that there seemed to be people from Yuan Chu Prime Minister Ai Gaoyi, but they did not find anyone from the Yuan Chu Emperor. ”

"Ai Gaoyi? What did he go there for? Xia Houyan frowned, and there was silence in his eyes.

Ai Gaoyi is ambitious and vicious, Xiahou Yan doesn't think he will go for a gold medal to avoid death. If he wanted Jian Ning's life, there was a simpler and more direct way, and there was no need to go through such a big effort.

"Back to the master, in order to prevent their people from discovering us. The subordinates didn't investigate carefully, but they only knew that they appeared near the Jian Mansion and the Food Garden. It's not too clear what the specific purpose is, and I ask the master to forgive me. After speaking, Feng Yang lowered his head guiltily. seems to be waiting for Xiahou Yan to punish.

"Forget it, this time your mission is to find out the gold medal for avoiding death. As for the rest, let's not pursue it for now. Xiahou Yan waved his hand and said lightly.

Hearing this, Feng Yang respectfully bowed to Xiahou Yan and slowly stood up.

"Master, do your subordinates understand something?" There was a question that had been bothering him, and after much hesitation, he decided to ask.

"Huh?" Hearing this, Xiahou Yan looked at Feng Yang.

"Why didn't the master let his subordinates directly bring back the death-free gold medal to Liu Leshan, but let them waste time to go to Yangxin County to get it?" Along the way, Feng Yang was puzzled, since he had already found the death-free gold medal, why did the master just ask him to send someone to guard there? Wouldn't it be more straightforward to get it back!

"Hehe, do you really think that emperor of Yuan Chu doesn't know anything? If you go out this time, you may have been under his surveillance long ago. If you really have the gold medal with you, it may not be so easy to come back. Xiahou Yan said with a sneer.

He knew that Long Zeye had never been a simple person. With an old fox like Ai Gaoyi, he can still sit on the throne for so many years, how can he be a simple character.

Feng Yang was shocked when he heard Xiahou Yan's words, he was very careful and cautious along the way, and he didn't feel like he was being watched? If it is as the master said, then they are not in trouble. After all, the master, a prince of another country, cannot interfere in the affairs of Yuan Chu.

"Master, aren't we exposed?" Feng Yang asked with a worried and ashamed expression.

"It's okay, after all, this is Yuan Chu, and he will know sooner or later." Xiahou Yan said with a light smile. Since Long Zeye can let Feng Yang go back and forth to Yangxin County, he probably doesn't want that woman to die like that!

"Send this secret letter back." Xiahou Yan said and gave Feng Yang a secret letter covered with fire paint, and said with a sneer, "There are ten days left before the birthday banquet of the old woman of Yuan Chu, I am really looking forward to it!" ”

Feng Yang took the letter, a little inexplicable, the master was obviously very disgusted with participating in that kind of meaningless banquet, how could he look forward to it this time? I just wanted to go out, but I was stopped by Xiahou Yan.

"Has Ling'er made any moves in the past two days?" Xiahou Yan squinted his eyes and asked.

"No, the princess has stayed in her room and never went out. Except for the one time I went to the palace two days ago. Feng Yang didn't know why Xiahou Yan asked this, but reported truthfully.

Xiahou Yan was slightly surprised when she heard this, this is not like the style of Leling's girl! Le Ling looks weak on the outside, but she is not a person who is obedient. Even if her father has a life, if she doesn't want to, I'm afraid she will have to make some trouble.

Now that all these days have passed, there has been no movement, is it my own miscalculation this time?

"What else does the master command?" Feng Yang didn't dare to leave directly this time, waited for a while, and saw that Xiahou Yan hadn't spoken yet, so he lowered his head and asked.

Xiahou Yan waved his hand, signaling that Feng Yang could go out.

The Imperial Study

"Half clouds." Long Zeye's lazy voice floated faintly in the imperial study.

I only felt a gust of wind blowing, and there was immediately one more person in the imperial study room, which was originally only Long Zeye, and knelt in front of Long Zeye respectfully. There was a cold aura all over the body.

"The subordinates are here." Banyun's emotionless voice sounded. A head of silver hair poured down behind him, making people feel unusually charming.

"How's it going?" Long Zeye just glanced up slightly, and asked lightly.

"It's all in the master's expectation, but the people from Xiaoyao Valley also appeared in Kyoto today, and now they are in Huayuwu." Banyun didn't fluctuate in the slightest when he spoke, as if nothing could mention his feelings.

"What about her?" Long Zeye didn't have much of an accident, he knew before that woman was involved with the people of Xiaoyao Valley, and it didn't seem strange that there was such a situation now.

"Except for the weakness of the body, there is no problem." Even if Long Zeye didn't say who it was, Banyun knew that what the master was referring to should be the woman in prison.

"Hmm." Long Zeye just responded lightly, as if he was just responding, as if he heard it.

Banyun paused for a moment, and found that the master had no intention of speaking, so he stepped forward and said, "Back to the master, my subordinates have something to report." ”

"Say."

"A few days ago, I received a report from the secret guard of the Dongshang Kingdom that the Dongshang Emperor seemed to have plans to marry Yuan Chu. Recently, after investigation by his subordinates, it was confirmed that the matter was true, and the document of the Dongshang Emperor yesterday had been issued, and it would be delivered to the master in the near future. Banyun handed over a secret letter and said lightly.

Long Zeye took the secret letter, just glanced at it, and threw it into the brazier on the side. He also expected such a situation, after all, when an envoy of a country goes to another country, if he takes a princess, then the ** of ten is for marriage.

"But I have found out, does the Emperor of Dongshang want his princess to enter my harem, or to become the princess of Xiang?" Long Zeye tapped his fingers on the table one by one, and asked with a calm eye.

Princess Leling of Dongshang Kingdom is the queen's own child, and among the princesses of Dongshang Kingdom, her status is extremely noble. In Yuanchu, the only person who can marry her is herself and King Xiang.

"The subordinates are incompetent, and no definite information has been found." Half of the clouds and half knelt in front of Long Zeye to plead guilty. (To be continued) R861
