Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Water of the Abyss

In the martial arts arena, everyone was dumbfounded, and they didn't know how to decide for a while.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan hurriedly stood up and shouted: "Lord Zhizhou is really both civil and military, and he won today." ”

When everyone heard this, they came back to their senses and cheered loudly.

Ling Tianwan smiled, reached out and patted the broken hair that fell on his shoulder: "But the son is better than I imagined... Much more interesting. ”

Ling Tian stepped forward to take back the wrench that belonged to him and rubbed it gently.

Yuan Huaisheng put the bow and arrows on the table, and tidied up the cloak for Mo Yanxi before saying, "Lord Zhizhou is also much more boring than I imagined. ”

The two were silent, and the atmosphere became tense again.

Master Meng coughed lightly and said with a smile: "Lord Zhizhou is the dragon and phoenix among people, and this son is also a thing of Yaochi, both of them are so young and promising, it can be seen that my Yuan Ling is a talent, and I will soon see that it will be time for a hundred flowers to bloom." Seeing that the hunt is almost over, it is better for everyone to sit down and wait. I also want to ask Lord Zhizhou to preside over the overall situation. ”

The spring snow gradually stopped, and at a glance, the ground was wet, but there was not a trace of white in sight. The snow melts when it enters the soil, and those who don't know think it's just a silent spring rain.

Mo Yanxi didn't say a word, and when he walked into his place, he asked in a low voice: "Ninth Master, did you do it on purpose?" ”

Mo Yanxi was in front of Yuan Huaisheng just now, and before shooting the last arrow, she obviously saw that Ling Tian's face on the opposite side was already a little pale, but Yuan Huaisheng was still relaxed and natural, his brows were not wrinkled, and his hands were not shaking. The aura emanating from the top and bottom of the body is gentle and restrained. It didn't come out with much strength at all.

"You're smart, I did give him this wrench on purpose, but I'm just here to see someone."

Mo Yanxi hugged Tang Pozi in her arms, her brows furrowed: "Could it be... Lu Caosi? ”

"That's right, although Ling Tian said that he was the governor of Lucheng, no matter how you look at it, these people don't seem to take him seriously at all. The moment I took out the wrench just now, Lu Caosi's expression froze, and his expression was panicked, I am afraid that he already knew how this wrench was lost. It seems that this official salt matter has nothing to do with him. ”

Yuan Huaisheng said, sighing, which happened to reach Mo Yanxi's ears. It's no wonder he is like this, this Lu Yuan heard that he is an upright official admired by all the people, and now he is close to the age of the sixtieth year, when the first emperor was there, he once issued an order to recruit Lu Yuan to Wenxi City, and later the new emperor ascended the throne, he also had this intention, but he was rejected by Lu Yuan. You must know that if you can be an official at the feet of the Son of Heaven, no matter how many officials can't ask for it.

"I heard that Lu Caosi rejected His Majesty's holy decree back then, in order to make the fortune of Lu Cheng safe and stable, and it is said that since he took office, Lu Cheng has indeed changed a lot."

When Yuan Huaisheng heard this, he stared at the copper coin hanging on the red rope opposite and swaying in the wind.

After a while, he said coldly: "People's hearts are not ancient, and it is difficult to distinguish between good and bad." Heaven and earth are eternal, and the heart is unpredictable. It's a long road, and who can always remember their heart. Especially in the ups and downs of the sea, it is the most difficult. ”

The weather is cold, and the tea that has just been poured will be cold after a while, and the taste of drinking lacks fragrance and is very bitter.

Mo Yanxi also sighed: "That's true, but I also found one thing, it stands to reason that the deer antler banquet is all people with heads and faces in Cilu City, but there are no people from the Xu family for such a grand event." The status of the Xu family in Cilu City is self-evident. Why are they nowhere to be seen? ”

"Therefore, this net in Cilu City involves a wide range of issues, and it is very likely to affect the whole body, we must take our time step by step, and we must not be too impatient. Let's wait until they get back. ”

Speaking of the few people who went out to hunt, Mo Yanxi was even more puzzled, Su Changfeng was impatient and liked to be lively. But Muraichi and Su Changqing are definitely not such people. Especially Muraichi, where is Yuan Huaisheng on weekdays, where is he allowed, he will not leave an inch, there are so many people today, how can he leave him and act on his own.

Just thinking about it, a crisp cracking sound came, Mo Yanxi and the others looked over, and it turned out that Lu Shaoling was drunk and awkward.

Lu Yuan looked fixedly, gritted his teeth, and his eyes were full of indisputable indignation.

He still remembered Lu Shaoling's well-behaved appearance when he was a child, but now that time flies, and then look, the person in front of him has become another arrogant and domineering kid who doesn't know the rules.

The more Lu Yuan thought about it, the more he felt that Lu Shaoling was not a weapon, and a large part of all this came from his overindulgence.

"Smack!"

There was a loud bang, and there was no sound in the arena in an instant.

Lu Shaoling raised her hand and touched half of her red face, her eyes full of disbelief.

"You... You hit me? You actually hit me? You've never hit me?! You hit me! ”

Lu Shaoling roared hoarsely, her eyes red.

"It's all because I was too pampered in the past, so that you became what you are today, if I don't care about you anymore, I don't know what you will do in the future! Come on, take the young lady back, from now on, you will stay honest with me and think about it behind closed doors! Don't go out until the wedding day! ”

The farce was soon covered by laughter, but from beginning to end, Ling Tian didn't even raise his head, all of which didn't seem to have anything to do with him.

The more Mo Yanxi thought about it, the more dramatic it was wrong, it stands to reason that the two of them had already made a marriage, but no matter just now or now, this Ling Tian didn't seem to have any intention of managing Shaoling at all. And Lu Shaoling also went her own way, not caring about Ling Tian's reputation at all.

Just as he was thinking, the hunt was over, and with a brass bell ringing, everyone returned with their prey.

Su Changqing and Mura Yi, the wind fanned back with their front and back feet, and their faces were not very good.

"Why don't you see Second Prince Su and Nanke?"

Mo Yanxi looked at the door, a little unclear.

"He's injured, and he's already going down the mountain to go back at this time, and as for Miss Nanke, he won't let go, so he went back with him."

Hearing this, Yuan Huaisheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it serious?" Who dares to make a mistake here. ”

Su Changqing shook his head: "When I passed, Changfeng was already unconscious, but fortunately, Miss Nanke had sucked out the poisonous blood in time, and the injury was not critical, and it was estimated that it would be enough to raise it for two days." ”

"Who?"

Yuan Huaisheng poured himself another glass of wine and asked in a low voice, and his words were domineering that could not be refused.

"I heard that it was the son of the Meng family."

"The Meng family? It's just a mere businessman, acting sneaky, so it can't be on the table. It's also a scourge to keep it, and it's an obstacle to the eyes. ”

Yuan Huaisheng said, with a hint of contempt and disgust in his eyes. Su Changqing didn't speak, with his understanding of Yuan Huaisheng, he should really be murderous at this moment, after all, Changfeng is young, and he is treated by Yuan Huaisheng as his younger brother.

"By the way, sir, we have searched the whole mountain, and we have not found any place to hide anything." Su Changqing said, his face showing a trace of exhaustion. At this moment, he is basically in Cao Ying, his heart is in Han, and he is worried about Su Changfeng's life and death.

Yuan Huaisheng naturally saw it in his eyes, asked two more questions, and hurriedly let Su Changqing leave.

The antler feast finally began, and the final winner was Meng Hui of the Meng family. Among the many deer that Meng Hui hunted back, everyone picked the fattest one and began to dissect and extract flesh.

"Do you suspect that Ling Tian is hiding the official salt here?"

Mo Yanxi asked in a low voice, his tone was flat, it was not so much an inquiry as a certainty.

Yuan Huaisheng shook his head: "It's just speculation, if this matter is done by Ling Tian alone, then this must be an excellent hiding place, but... If it's more than him, then this matter has to be thought about further. ”

Mo Yanxi nodded, if Guan Yan was really hiding here, then the moment he saw the wrench, Ling Tian should already know what the few of them were doing here, then he would definitely not sit idly by and let Su Changqing and the others do whatever they wanted. Judging from the final result, the matter of hiding official salt is definitely not that simple.

Just thinking about it, Mo Yanxi turned her head and looked at Yuan Huaisheng, in fact, she still had a doubt about Yuan Huaisheng, obviously he was in the martial arts, but he was so concerned about the affairs of the court, and what he said, including some specific matters, was regarded as a secret of the court, no matter how much he watched and listened, if he was not in the official family, how could he know.

The more Mo Yanxi thought about it, the more he felt that this person was dangerous. What she fears most is the danger lurking around her. And now, as she thought before, this west is made up of one big net after another, and the martial arts and chaebol magnates have lost their clear boundaries here, and they depend on each other to survive. If she stayed here, she would definitely not do anything.

"There are some things, the more you know, the more dangerous it is, don't be cranky, there are some things that you shouldn't know."

Hearing this, Mo Yanxi came back to his senses and met Yuan Huaisheng's warning eyes. Those eyes are so handsome, but what is conveyed in them always makes people's hearts tremble.

"I understand, don't worry, I'm not interested in anything about you, as long as we go our separate ways in the future, nothing to do with it. Then I have already burned incense and worshiped the Buddha. ”

Mo Yanxi smiled and closed his gaze.

Suddenly, there was a roar in the fighting arena, and everyone looked at the festival intently, of course, there were some cowardly, who closed their eyes and covered their ears the whole time.

At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed in at the door of the martial arts arena, lowered his head and quickly got onto the high platform, walked up to Ling Tian, and whispered a few words.

Ling Tian's face remained unchanged, his body was slightly slanted, and he laughed quietly: "You and I Cai's are right, they are really here to find something." ”

Lu Yuan sighed, his eyes full of helplessness and self-blame. Admonished:

"Coming to the door for this matter, their identity is definitely not a person from the rivers and lakes, so be more careful in the future."

Ling Tian nodded: "Don't worry, even if it turns the sky upside down, they won't be able to find where the things are." Even if it can be found, this matter is widely implicated, and there are many scapegoats, but not necessarily all of those who quit Lu Cheng are in Lu Cheng. ”
