Canglan Chapter 26 First encounter, from the unknown hole card
The hooves of the horses are bursting, stepping on the dense forest that has not been visited for many years, and from time to time they startle pieces of birds.
Along the faint gurgling stream, Xuanyuan Che gently brushed aside the shrubs in front of him that blocked his vision, and the clear horseshoe prints on the ground were almost hidden here, only what he saw was a bunch of... Rabbit killing scene...
"Chirp~"
Suddenly, a loud eagle hiss came from piercing the sky, which frightened the woods everywhere, and hundreds of birds flew in shock.
Shui Kong looked up and saw a small black dot hovering overhead. "Master..." just called, but was interrupted by a gesture from Xuanyuan Che. I saw that he was very cautious with one hand supporting the branches and leaves of the bushes, not daring to make a sound, and he could vaguely see the opposite scene.
It's a lake...
Looking at the ordinary, sparkling clear lake...
Only the figure bathed in the sun in the center shows its uniqueness...
He was inexplicably nervous and excited, I don't know if it was because he found this girl who was suspected to be a blood phoenix, or... Just because of her. The eagle's cry in the sky made the girl raise her head vigilantly, and the water droplets slid down the soft long hair, forcing the waterfall-like black hair to cling to the porcelain white skin, and the delicate face was like heaven, coated with a layer of sacredness by the sun, I don't know if it was Xuanyuan Che's illusion, or if I really felt that the girl looked at the grass here, and there was a faint smile on the corner of her lips...
"Chirp~" was another long eagle's cry, the girl in the middle of the lake slowly walked to the shore, Xuanyuan Che hurriedly let go of his hand to cover the branches and leaves, turned his head expressionlessly, turned the embarrassment of that moment into coldness, and vented it on his two subordinates who were still in a state of confusion.
"Master... I..."Yunsu is a literati, he can't stand this kind of oppression, until he finally couldn't help but ask for that inexplicable sin, Xuanyuan Che found out that he was abnormal, just wanted to open his mouth to appease a few words, but heard a long whistle from the lake behind him, the strong wind swept down the fallen leaves from the air, the black shadow from far and near, the eagle eagle actually slowly slipped down, obediently landed next to the girl.
That's a sea east green, it's the king of eagles...
Xuanyuan Che took the two of them and led the horse and was just about to leave quietly, when suddenly a clear female voice echoed: "Stranger, the Longkong Forest is complicated and has no way, you are afraid that you have inadvertently strayed into this forest..." "Well..."The girl was only eleven or twelve years old, but it made Xuanyuan Che feel the inexplicable vicissitudes of life.
The group of three silently followed the girl who led the way not far in front, and there was silence.
"Hey, Yunsu, do you think she will be..."Shui Kong, who looked expectant, pulled the horse's head close to Yunsu and asked softly. No, the blood phoenix loves bright red, flamboyant and arrogant, not like this woman, everyone looks beautiful. Yun Su smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Ah... That... Where are we looking... Looking for her? ”……
Yunsu didn't know how to answer, who knew where the lone Blood Phoenix would travel...
"If you have a chance, you will see her..."
Suddenly, the Cangxue King, who had been silent, sighed, and his right hand habitually stroked the cold snake whip coiled around his waist...
After walking for a long time, the girl in front stopped, and looked further ahead at the majestic West Gate of Fox Heart City. "Let's go, don't be reckless in the future." With that, she drove her horse back into the forest. Xuanyuan Che looked at the back that was gradually disappearing, and his heart was complicated.
"Let's go... Back to Canglan..."
When he turned the horse's head, he involuntarily looked back...
------
The eagle neighed in the sky of Foxheart City, chasing a team of people and horses that were driving back to the city, sometimes swooping down and landing on the shoulders of the leading woman, and whispered a few times...
"Your Highness!"
As the blue figure broke into the princess's mansion, Zuo Xi and the others breathed a sigh of relief as if they had a backbone. "Your Highness, an urgent letter from the imperial capital." Ling Huxian rudely opened the letter sealed by fire paint, glanced at it roughly, and sat down on the main seat as if he had suddenly been drained of strength, his brows furrowed.
The imperial capital, the Xia clan is still clamoring, now the emperor has left the imperial capital to inspect the south, the prince ordered the fox tower to supervise the country, and now the secret guards in the capital have found that the Xia family has 20,000 private soldiers in the suburbs of the city, and they are all strong warriors. In recent days, the ministers who stayed in Beijing to assist Linghulou were either assassinated or disappeared, and the people in the capital were panicked and left messages. And the royal driver who went south also went through two assassinations...
Ling Huxian's hand holding the letter paper hung down weakly, and her other hand supported her head. Zuo Xi and the others were puzzled but did not dare to make a move. "Hua Zhuo, now that the emperor is patrolling south, you personally bring someone to pick it up, and come to Fox Heart City by waterway, and in addition, ask your cousin Hua Ling to lead all the way to pretend to be a royal driver and walk the official road." "Subordinates obey!" Hua Zhuo put away the appearance of hanging a child on weekdays, folded the fan, and listened to the order to retreat. "Tang Ao, you allocate troops to reinforce Jinjiang Pass and Yinguan, and all those who enter the county will be strictly investigated!" Ling Huxian unconsciously drew a map of Longxian County with her fingers in a state of thought, "Obey the order!" Tang Ao received his doubts about this order, and quietly left to the barracks to transfer troops.
"Feng Ju, you are in charge of the military and political affairs of Longxu City for the time being, and all the training of the four secret cavalry has been handed over to you..." Feng Ju also took the order to retreat, leaving Zuo Xi under great pressure from Ling Huxian and a strange atmosphere.
The hourglass passed silently, and neither of them was speechless. "Your Highness..."Finally, Zuo Xi couldn't help but ask for his life, but was blocked back by Ling Huxian. How many people are there in the rudder of the imperial capital? Zuo Xi was slightly stunned, "About thirty years old..."...... There was silence again...... "There are too few people...", and she sighed for a while. "Although it cannot be ruled out that the imperial capital has entered the spies, but in such a short period of time, the ministers have either died or disappeared, so it seems that the private soldiers of the Xia family are by no means good." It's the secret guard raised by the family, and even... Dead man.
"Your Highness remembers... Poison in you? To be precise, it's the poison in the queen's mother..."Zuo Xi cautiously put forward his own conjecture. "Hmph, Xia Yuji thinks she is doing it seamlessly, but she doesn't know that my aunt is a coward...... She didn't expect that the poison of the first red flame in the mainland would not be able to kill me and my imperial brother..."As she spoke, she seemed to remember something...
… The poison of the red flame...
Originally, it was an extremely strong poison produced in the exotic land of the Western Barbarians, and I heard that it was collected by the Dragon Killer Lord, who was extremely poisonous in the degree of freedom, and then... Lost...
"The degree of freedom..."
If it weren't for the hole cards, with the Xia family's family history of less than a hundred years, he would definitely not dare to be so arrogant, and even covet the imperial power.
"How much freedom has infiltrated the dynasty..."Unconsciously, her hands clenched tightly, and a panic that was not within her control hit her heart. Arrange for the families of loyal ministers in the imperial capital to leave Beijing, and everyone who divides the rudder will go to thoroughly investigate the spies in the capital. The whole dynasty pursued and killed the side branches of the Xia clan..."
"The subordinates have orders!" Zuo Xi narrowed his eyes, and a hint of coldness flashed...
