Su Yu felt strange in his heart, and snorted and said, "Pretend to be a ghost." "Let's send someone around to see if there are any suspicious people.

After some investigation, he returned: "Lord Hui, there is nothing unusual, I think the person has left." ”

Su Yu poked his head out and saw a long arrow stuck in the carriage, and at the end of the arrow was a small pipe tied to it, so that he could not notice it until he looked closely. Su Yu took out his handkerchief and pulled out the arrow vigorously, entered the carriage and said, "I'll see whose handwriting this is." ”

Knowing that this arrow was not to kill people, but to deliver a message, Su Yu was not worried, and said to the outside of the car: "I think the thief has left, then let's continue to set off, it will be safer when we get to the palace." ”

And they were commanded to say yes, and they were back on the road. Su Yu took a closer look and found that this arrow did not look like it was owned by the Central Plains, and in confusion, Su Yu carefully removed the bamboo tube at the micro end of the arrow, and took out the note inside, which read: "King Jing, die!" ”

Seeing this, although Su Yu didn't know who it was, since they all wanted to pay homage to the king's death, and they were friends and not enemies, they didn't worry anymore, and I believed that people would find opportunities to find them.

So Su Yu put aside the worries in his heart, sat in the carriage casually, and waited to arrive at the palace.

Outside the carriage, the leader of the forbidden army saw Su Yu put the arrow into the car, walked to the front of the carriage and asked, "My lord, have you found any clues?" When Su Yu heard the question, he put the long arrow behind him, and said in a loud voice: "No, I thought it was a mountain thief who wanted to rob money, but later saw that we were too strong to stand cheap, so I retreated." ”

Although the leader knew that there was a difference, he couldn't rashly ask the Protector to take out the long arrow, so he could only leave in a huff. Su Yu knew that this long arrow could not be discovered, so he wanted to hide it, but it was not easy to hide, so he could only find a way to discard it.

Seeing that he was about to walk out of the forest, Su Yu shouted, "Stop!" The chief hurried to the carriage and asked, "What do you command?" Su Yu got up directly, put the long arrow in his sleeve, jumped out of the carriage, and said, "I want to change my clothes, and you will wait here." The leader of the forbidden army was relieved: "My lord, this place is not safe, I hope that my lord will bear with me for a while, we can already see the palace." ”

"It's not that I don't want to be patient, it's just that people are old and can't bear some things. I think everyone is gone, I'm just going to go over and be relieved, and I'll be back soon. Su Yu said impatiently.

"Then I'll send someone over to protect you."

"You send someone to follow, how can I understand it, the old man's protector is not called in vain, you must know that when the old man came on the field to kill the enemy, you still don't know where it is. Don't worry, I'll be back soon. ”

After the words fell, Su Yu walked directly towards the dense forest. The leader of the forbidden army was in a dilemma. shouted: "Lord Su, Lord Su, this ......" What was left for him was Su Yu's casual wave of his hand.

Su Yu walked into the dense forest, thinking about walking to a place with lush vegetation, checking the situation around him as he walked, he was not worried about his safety, after all, the meaning of the person who came had been clearly expressed, and there were still his own people in the dark to protect him.

As long as the forbidden army can't find this long arrow, they will naturally not find any evidence. Think of these. Su Yu found a place with dense vegetation and took out the long arrow, but fortunately he stretched out his arms all the way and did not show any flaws.

He took out the arrow and broke it with force, and the arrow broke into two parts, and then broke the arrow feather at the end of the arrow, tore it off, and let it aside, and then broke the arrow again, walked to the nearest tree, and thrust it hard, and did not enter the tree. With all this done, he patted his clothes and turned back to the group.

Seeing that Su Yu had come back safely, everyone was relieved, and then arranged for Su Yu to enter the carriage and set off again. So Su Yu didn't notice that after he left, a man in white flashed out from behind the tree on the side and quietly walked to the location where Su Yu was just now. After some searching, I found the broken arrow that Su Yu threw away, and found the arrow feather not far away, but I found that this arrow feather was not the same as the usual arrow feather, not like the thing of Qiguo.

But he didn't find the arrow, and he searched around to no avail, and he remembered that Su Yu had stopped in front of a tree just now, and he thought he was going for convenience, but he didn't think it was. So, according to his previous memory, he walked in front of the tree. But nothing was found.

He circled around the tree twice and finally found a black dot hidden in the tree.

took out the dagger stuck in his boots, and after some digging and prying, the black arrows were held in the man's slender hands, and he looked at them carefully, and he was even more sure that this was not Qiguo's thing. And the person who came just now didn't want to take Su Yu's life, but had other plans, although he didn't know what the other party wanted, but it was certain that the person who came was a friend and not an enemy for Su Yu, otherwise he wouldn't have to dig out his mind to destroy the evidence.

With this in mind, he wrapped up the items he found and put them in his bag, intending to give them to those who needed them at a later opportunity.

Then he left, followed Su Yu's team, hid in the shadows, and followed these people all the way to the palace. At this time, if Fu Qinglian was here, he would find that this person was the white-clothed knight who helped on the way back to his home on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival Night Banquet, but he didn't know what his purpose was for following Su Yu all the way.

If it was an assassination, it didn't seem to be, because he didn't do anything along the way; If it's protection, it doesn't seem to be, otherwise he wouldn't have bothered to pick up the things that the dormitory bothered to discard. In Fu Qinglian's heart, he is a friend rather than an enemy, so it can't be a friend for Su Yu, but now Su Yu doesn't know that he is being followed by a master with such skills.

This person followed him more like a surveillance, as if to figure out why he was able to come to the palace calmly. Seeing that the palace is close at hand, this trip is not for nothing. And he was not familiar with the palace, and there were many masters in the palace, so he could only turn around and disappear without a trace. And Su Yu and his entourage were relieved when they saw that the palace was close in front of them, thinking that they had finally arrived at the palace without danger all the way.

Su Yu was even more so, thinking that he would have to rest well when he entered the palace and wait for someone to visit.

Chapter 253: Homesickness

In the middle of the night, when Su Yu and his entourage arrived at the palace, it was almost noon, and after some rectification, someone came to inform them that lunch had been prepared and invited Master Su to go to the front hall for dinner. Su Yu nodded in understanding. When Su Yu arrived in the front hall, he found that the leader of the forbidden army and others were already waiting in the front hall, and when he saw Su Yu coming, he stepped forward and saluted and said: "Lord Su, since you have arrived safely, the last general will leave first, and you still need to return to Beijing to resume your life, so that the emperor can rest assured." ”

Su Yu heard that he was about to leave at this time, so he said, "This is lunch time, so your lord and the soldiers should have lunch before leaving." ”

"The last general has already eaten just now, Lord Xie is kind, I think the emperor has been worried about the safety of the adult, and the last general is inconvenient to stay for a long time, so he will leave for Beijing to resume his life."

"That is it, take care all the way, my lord. I also hope that the lord will tell the emperor that the old minister is grateful for the emperor's grace, and thank the saint for his compassion for the old minister, and the old minister will definitely recuperate well, return to Beijing as soon as possible, and share the worries of the lord. ”

Su Yu said meaningfully. The leader of the forbidden army arched his hand: "Your Excellency's heart of fist, the emperor must understand, my lord's rest assured, I will definitely bring this." ”

After that, everyone left, walked to the gate of the palace, turned over their horses directly, and galloped away. And Su Yu sat at the table casually, looking at these exquisite and delicious delicacies on the table, thinking in his heart, sure enough, unlike the mansion, the things in this palace are really more exquisite and mouth-watering.

After a good meal, Su Yu returned to his room, and lay down in his clothes, ready to rest for a while. Before lying down, he said to the people who came to serve, "I'll go and take a nap, and later you will take the old man to enjoy the scenery of the palace." Then he told the visitor to stand down and lie down on the bed by himself, and closed his eyes to rest.

At this time, Fu Qinglian and the others had already left the capital all the way south, heading in the direction of Huayuan Valley. And Hua Shenyue left the capital, and a smile appeared on his face. Feeling the wind blowing on her face and listening to the joyful singing of the birds, she couldn't help but feel happy, and said with a smile: "Ah Qing, I seem to have felt the breath of Huayuan Valley." Hearing this, Fu Qinglian's heart ached, he knew that because he had given up a lot of flowers, he had given up his freedom to follow him and bear these days of fear and fear.

Now looking at the joy and yearning flashing in her eyes, he began to regret a little, whether it was too selfish for him to go to Huayuan Valley to marry Ah Yue rashly. Now that the Empress Dowager Liu has not solved it, the queen's secret is still understood, and Su Yu is watching from the sidelines, although the Southern Turks have surrendered and bowed down to their vassals, but who can guarantee that they will not invade again.

And he couldn't let go of everything in the palace, he couldn't let go of the imperial brother, so he took Ah Yue to travel around. Thinking of this, Fu Qinglian felt guilty in his heart, forced a smile, and said: "Ah Yue, you are homesick, Huayuan Valley is still far away, how can there be the breath of Huayuan Valley here." ”

Hearing the reluctance in Fu Qinglian's tone, Hua Shenyue couldn't help but look back at Fu Qinglian, and found that he had no time to hide the guilt in his eyes, Hua Shenyue covered Fu Qinglian's hands and said: "Ah Qing, although I miss Huayuan Valley a little, but I want to be with you more, I yearn for freedom, or I yearn for you more." ”

"If it weren't for you, even if I returned to Huayuan Valley, I would feel suffocated when I returned to that excessive freedom." As soon as the words fell, Hua Shenyue's face was red and dripping blood. And Fu Qinglian looked at the shy person in his arms, his heart was full of blood, unspeakable, just hugged the person in his arms tightly.

He knew that Hua Shenyue was an introverted and shy girl, and it had exhausted all her courage when she said this, thinking of this, his eyes were even hotter, and he couldn't hold back the sourness at the end of his nose, and he said to Hua Shenyue lightly and solemnly: "My Fu Qinglian will definitely live up to you in this life, Ah Yue." ”

Hearing this, Hua Shenyue shrank in Fu Qinglian's arms and nodded. Trying to suppress the heat in her ears, Hua Shenyue whispered: "I have already contacted my father, told him that we are going to return to Huayuan Valley, and told him that you have something to visit, let him return to the valley as soon as possible." ”

"Where is the valley lord now, and when will he reach the valley?" Fu Qinglian couldn't help but ask. "Father, tell me that he is also near the capital, but he is not in the same direction as us, he is looking for someone."

Hearing this, Yuan Yinyue couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Who is the old valley master looking for, but he needs our help?" Hua Shenyue shook her head: "My father only said that he was the son of the old man, but he didn't explain it, saying that there were already traces, and he thought he would be able to return to the valley soon." ”
