Chapter 113: Rely on not leaving (we are AMD fans to reward and change)
Cao Miao only knew Xiahou Xuan and Xiahou Hui, but didn't know that they also had a younger sister Xiahou Yan, a cute little Lori.
Xiahou Xuan is very handsome and sunny. Little Lori isn't beautiful, but she's cute. Especially when she wants to show the calmness that everyone should have, she can't hide it, often revealing the innocence that should be at this age, and the uncle who is sinister at heart, and Cao Miao, who looks like a sunny boy on the outside, but wants to pretend to be cute and tender...... It's a good match.
Maybe it's psychological compensation, or maybe I don't want little Lori to follow in the footsteps of her sister Xiahou Hui, Cao Miao and Xiahou Yan have a natural closeness. Although Cao Miao can't remember Xiahou Yan at all, she doesn't know her later history. Considering Xiahou Xuan's fate, it is estimated that Xiahou Yan is not much better.
So, Cao Miao performed a little talent for her. As an actor who often appears in public, he often has to meet fans, he can't do spells, but he can do a little magic, which is more than enough to amuse children.
Seeing that the beloved earrings appeared in Cao Miao's hands for a while and disappeared for a while, Xiahou Yan clapped his hands red, and let out a heartfelt exclamation, with a look of adoration in his eyes. "Wow, cousin, you really know how to do immortal arts."
Xiahou Xuan walked in, and when he saw this scene, his eyes were even more melancholy.
"Taichu, have you eaten?" Princess Deyang said with a smile.
"I'm done." Xiahou Xuan bowed and saluted, and then saluted Cao Miao, making a look. Cao Miao understood, got out of the hall with Xiahou Xuan, and came to the courtyard. "Yunliang, how are you?"
"I'm fine." Cao Miao said: "I bothered last night, thank you Taichu." β
"Don't say that, we're relatives after all. Besides, this is also what Your Majesty meant, I am just acting on orders. β
"Really? Then please thank Your Majesty on my behalf. β
Xiahou Xuan nodded, and said: "Zhijin Wu Zangba sent someone to send a message and want to invite me to go, there may be some circumstances." Do you want to go with you? β
Cao Miao wanted to go, but he couldn't. He has returned to "normal", and when he goes out, it is not good to come back. But according to his and Cao Zhi's plan, he would have to stay here for a few more days.
"I'm not going." Cao Miao's eyes showed fear, and her body trembled slightly. "In case ......"
Seeing that Cao Miao looked like he was about to get sick again, Xiahou Xuan didn't dare to say anything more. He thought for a while, then nodded and said, "That's fine, you can live in peace, I happen to have something I want to ask you for advice." It's just that...... Yunliang, after all, you are an adult, there is a difference between men and women, and it is not appropriate to come to the back house often. β
"Questions?" Cao Miao was surprised. He stared at Xiahou Xuan for a while, and suddenly suddenly, pointed at Xiahou Xuan, and said with disdain: "Taichu, I didn't expect you to be such a person, it disappoints me so much." β
Xiahou Xuan's face flushed, and he wanted to refute Cao Miao, but he couldn't say it, so he had to talk about him left and right, and walked away.
Cao Miao shouted at his back, "Taichu, you want to be pureβ"
Xiahou Xuan's feet were weak and he almost hit the wall. He leaned against the wall, calmed down, and hurried away.
Princess Deyang didn't hear what Xiahou Xuan and Cao Miao said, but she heard Cao Miao's last sentence and was very curious. When Cao Miao returned to the hall, she asked, Cao Miao sighed, and sat on her seat a little dazedly, with her head bowed and her expression depressed.
"I'll leave right away. As soon as I came yesterday, I disturbed the house, and if I stayed any longer, I might affect the princess, Taichu, and Ayan. I'm a wreck anyway, and it doesn't matter if I live or die. If it affects you, how can you get happy? In case I am slandered by rumors again and the princess clears her name, I ......"
When Princess Deyang heard this, she thought that Xiahou Xuan was going to drive Cao Miao away, and immediately sank her face. "Where are you going? Those people even dare to break into my mansion, where is there any safety in Yongqiu Mansion. You live in peace, and you are not allowed to go anywhere until you find out about this matter. You don't have to worry about Taichu, I'm still in charge of this house. β
Xiahou Yan was in the middle of the favor and echoed in a loud voice.
ββ
Xiahou Xuan went out and was just about to get into the car, when he suddenly felt a little hot in his ears. He thought about it, ordered someone to put the prepared carriage back, went to the stable to lend Cao Miao's mount, and then turned back to the house, changing into a strong suit that was easy to ride.
Stepping on the stirrup, getting on the Liaodong horse, and putting his feet in the stirrups, Xiahou Xuan's mood was a little complicated.
Such a simple thing brings an unprecedented sense of security. He has seen Cao Miao riding many times, but he is not as sensitive as the Son of Heaven who only sees the schematic diagram, and he has always turned a blind eye.
Xiahou Xuan turned around and instructed Xiong Meng to arrange for someone to build some of these stirrups, and the mounts of the knights in the palace were all matched.
Xiong Meng agreed, turned around and ordered someone to do it.
Under the escort of Xiong Meng and ten knights, Xiahou Xuan came to the Zhijinwu Temple. Hearing the report, Zang Ba, the ruling Jinwu, personally greeted Xiahou Xuan, welcomed Xiahou Xuan to normal, and ordered his son Zang Ai to report the situation.
Overall, the situation was very bad, and the cavalry and halberd were busy all night, but they didn't find any clues.
Zang Ba was ashamed, but Xiahou Xuan waved his hand, signaling that Zang Ba didn't have to be like this. He was not idle at night, and ordered someone to conduct a thorough investigation of the mansion, especially the location where the assassin had appeared. By all indications, the Assassin was a master and experienced, leaving no trace that could be traced.
Zang Ba glanced at Zang Ai. Zang Ai understood and stepped forward to salute.
"Squire, there is a sentence, I don't know whether to ask."
Xiahou Xuan glanced at Zang Ai and bowed slightly. "Zang Jun, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"Did the assassin enter the princess's mansion at night for Prince Yongqiu, or did he have another purpose?"
"At the moment, there is not enough evidence to assert." Xiahou Xuan's face was calm, and he said lightly: "No matter who you are here for, you must not be negligent. The Humble House is adjacent to the Arsenal, the Great General's Mansion, and the Hussar General's Mansion, and if you can enter the Humble House today, do you know that he will not disturb others in the future? β
Zang Ba was uneasy. Now it is not as good as it was back then, he has no soldiers in his hands, but the current situation is very embarrassing, and he can't be cautious, lest he lose his time. Although Xiahou Xuan is young, he is a close minister of the Son of Heaven and a relative of the country, and he is not at all able to provoke him.
Zang Ba bowed and said: "What the squire said is very true, it is a child's ignorance, and his words do not reach his meaning. Here's the thing, last night I received a warning from your mansion, and the Jinwu Temple did not dare to slack off, and all the staff went out, but found some clues related to Prince Yongqiu. β
Xiahou Xuan stood up. Zang Ba is not Zang Ai, he is a veteran minister, and the superficial respect is still there. "Please ask Gong Zang for advice."
"According to Sima of Jianyangmen, yesterday evening, some people wandered inside and outside the gate and waited until after dark. Looking at their situation, it looks like they're waiting for someone, and they don't have good intentions. I sent someone to check overnight and received a little news that those people might be related to Wang Ji. β
"Wang Ji?" Xiahou Xuan was both surprised and delighted. The surprise is that this matter involves Wang Ji, and the joy is that this matter has nothing to do with Sima Shi, which can prove that Cao Miao's conjecture is chasing after the wind.
Zang Ba smiled. "Yes, I have sent someone to inform Yang Yishan (Yang Fu), the captain of the city gate, overnight, that Wang Ji is strictly forbidden to go out of the city. However, where Wang Ji lives is not something I have the right to trace. Squire, look ......."
Xiahou Xuan stood up and arched his hand. "Thank you Gong Zang, I will enter the palace to ask for an edict."
