Chapter 6: The True Face of the Siren

In a certain attic in the Bei'an Wangfu of Lingyang City, the handkerchief girl that Luo Xiaotian had been thinking about was sitting in front of the mirror platform. I saw her lips open slightly, sipping the red lipstick in her hand, and then put it down casually. This series of gestures made people who saw this scene feel like a spring breeze.

After the handkerchief girl finished dressing up, she walked to the windowsill and glanced in the direction of the Wenhui Temple where she had visited yesterday. Thinking in his heart, he smiled.

"Miss, miss, something happened to the young master." A panicked maidservant trotted in through the door.

"Doesn't he get into trouble every day? What's all the fuss. "The handkerchief girl has become accustomed to her brother's stubbornness.

"Miss, this time is different. The prince wants to let the young master be put on the board, thirty boards, and the dungeon will be closed, and he will hand it over to the emperor for delivery. The young master will definitely not be able to recruit him. ”

"What? Take me to see it. As soon as she heard that it was thirty boards, and that she was locked up in the dungeon, the handkerchief girl felt pity for her brother, and eagerly asked the maidservant to lead her to someone.

The maidservant just brought her to the door of the main hall, and was so frightened that she hurriedly retreated. The handkerchief girl went into the main hall alone, looked inside, and looked for her brother. On both sides of the main hall stood several majestic internal guards, and the king of Bei'an was sitting in the hall, with angry eyebrows, and there was a local resident official of the imperial court beside him.

"Daddy, Su Su is here for you."

The handkerchief girl is the daughter of the king of Bei'an, the eldest daughter of the palace, named Zhao Susu. Zhao Kangyi, the king of Bei'an, married a total of two rooms that year. The wife gave birth to a daughter Zhao Susu and a son Zhao Yuanxi, but Zhao Susu died soon after Zhao Susu became an adult. The concubine has been childless for many years, and after Zhao Susu's mother left, the sisters and brothers called her an aunt.

"Are you here to intercede with the rebel? You're just like your mother, you like to protect him. He's so stubborn and hard to discipline now, isn't that your mother's favorite? If you let it go any longer, I don't know what trouble it will cause in the future. ”

"Daddy. If it weren't for Yuan Xi's serious illness since he was a child, which caused him to be mentally incomplete now, he wouldn't have caused trouble everywhere. Besides, Yuan Xi didn't do anything hurtful, he was kind by nature, but he was a little stubborn. My father was so severe, he would have scolded and punished him, but why did he have to fight thirty boards now and be sent to the dungeon. I am also responsible as a sister, I didn't discipline my younger brother well, and I asked my father to pull him to play the board together. If my mother has a spirit in the sky, I don't know how sad she should be when she sees today's events. I also asked my father to be gracious and take back the family's life, otherwise my daughter would not be able to kneel for a long time. ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Susu knelt in front of the main hall.

"Even you're going to be angry with me! Do you know what he did yesterday? He actually mobilized the soldiers of my Nanyu court to hunt down two thieves who broke into Wenhui Temple on the street, and the magistrate would dispatch a patrol to arrest the township Yong to deal with this kind of matter. Those soldiers are directly under the control of the imperial court, which is your turn to command. This king unloaded his military power back then, and he couldn't transfer the imperial army for a long time, but he had a great ability to dare to send the soldiers of Wenhui Temple to run out of the city. "When King Bei'an talked about this, he was so angry that he panted, and he hated his son because iron was not steel, and he would not stop if he didn't give him some color today." The king has already asked the king to deal with this matter, and he will handle it impartially and report it to the court. You get up for me! ”

"Daddy, and Lord Wang. My brother was just young and stubborn, and he didn't know it was serious. Thinking that he is ignorant, I hope that Lord Wang can open up the net. Zhao Susu was still kneeling on the ground and begging for her father. She knew that if she couldn't save her brother today, it would be even more difficult for him to be imprisoned, so she had to fight to get her father to change his mind. "If you insist on condemning my brother. As an older sister, I won't sit idly by. I will tell the Queen Mother to know, and let her old man help me ask for an explanation, I don't believe that she will ignore her own grandson. ”

"Lord Wang, this matter is not a big deal. Do you call the old minister to decide, or as Fang just said, the prince will use the family law to punish him. If you have to be convicted, it will really be a shame for the old minister. ”

Lord Wang next to him watched Zhao Kangyi's father and daughter arguing, and they were very embarrassed to be caught in the middle. Twice and three times, I wanted to say it again and again, and in order to avoid the situation getting more and more serious, I couldn't help but say the truth this time.

"Lord Wang, the world belongs to the emperor. It is a felony for the dog to dispatch the imperial army without permission, how can the family law deal with the matter. If it reaches the ears of the emperor, then the king is a great rebellion and violates the grace of God. ”

"The prince doesn't have to worry about it. I will order someone to record this military Chinese book. The commander of the guard had the right to send soldiers out of the city to arrest them. The prince loved his son to protect the temple, so he went out of the city with the team. ”

This Lord Wang knows how to meet left and right, and he also sees the mind of King Bei'an. In fact, the whole thing is not just because his son has dispatched troops, but mainly because he is afraid that someone will use this incident to create right and wrong in front of the emperor. In the Nanyu army, after all, the king of Bei'an still has many old troops in important positions, although he no longer has military power, but his influence is still there. And for the prince to interfere in the army, the emperor was intolerable.

In fact, the king of Bei'an wants to capture the old man. specially invited Lord Wang to enforce the law impartially in the name of the imperial court, and even more selflessly supported Lord Wang. These are all in order to take the initiative so as not to give people the truth. In this matter, both of them are like mirrors in their hearts.

"Lord Wang, although it is an order from the commander, the dog has no position in the army, and he is not allowed to participate in military affairs. If Lord Wang feels that the laws of this dynasty cannot cure his crimes, then this king will not let him go. "King Bei'an knows that this Lord Wang has given himself enough face, so he naturally wants to give him a decent face, and by the way, he also punishes and punishes his son and gives him a long memory." Susu, get up, thank you Lord Wang. As for your brother, hit ten boards to make him have a long memory. ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang, for your impartial ruling." Zhao Susu finally let go of the worries in her heart. After getting up, he gave a blessing to Lord Wang, and then said to King Bei'an: "Daddy, Su Su has retired, and he won't disturb his father's business." ”

Zhao Susu saw his father nodding and exited the main hall. She trotted down the hallway, her heart running eagerly to the place where her brother had been punished.

I only heard dozens of shouts of "wow" in the courtyard, and Zhao Yuanxi lay on the stone bench and howled wolf. When Zhao Susu arrived, the board was already half-shot. When Zhao Yuanxi saw his sister coming, he immediately cried with tears in his eyes.

"Sister, my father is too ruthless, I'm his own son, I don't feel my ass!"

"Little cub, can't you stand it after only ten boards? See if you will still be obedient in the future, how many times your father has explained, don't have dealings with military personnel. Why don't you listen? If you are not sent to prison and handed over to the imperial court, you can burn incense and worship the Buddha. Do you know Daddy's good intentions? Zhao Susu was afraid that his younger brother would not understand the intentions of King Bei'an, and wanted to enlighten him.

Seeing that Zhao Yuanxi was still lying on his stomach and moaning in pain, Zhao Susu's heart softened, and he couldn't bear to scold him anymore, so he ordered someone to help him into the bedroom to take medicine and recuperate.

Zhao Susu stayed outside the door of his brother's bedroom, and did not leave until the moaning gradually died of moaning inside, and got up to return to his room.

Suddenly, a dark shadow landed in a remote corner of the palace courtyard. Seeing this, Zhao Susu wanted to ask the palace guards to chase him, but when he saw the black shadow entering his father's study, he hurriedly followed.

Zhao Susu followed the black shadow to his father's study, and was about to push the door to investigate the situation in the house, only to hear his father's voice from inside.

"If we're sure they're still in the city, and we've seen their movements, why haven't we found out what they're planning?"

"Lord, they now live in an inn in the city, and it is difficult for them to listen to information. Only on the outskirts of the city, I heard that they would do something tomorrow. ”

"Send a few more men to keep an eye on their whereabouts, and report them at any time if there is any change. I still have something to do in the house, and if the matter is urgent, send a signal to wait for the king in the old place. ”

"Yes——!"

Zhao Susu outside the door was puzzled, what did his father do, so mysterious, he had never known that there was such a group of black-clothed people in the mansion for so many years. It's just that what her father does is not something she needs to care about, seeing that her father is not in danger, it was just a false alarm, and she turned around and went back to the room.

On the coast on the outskirts of Lingyang, white waves roll, and a few seabirds fly against the wind in search of food.

Luo Xiaotian drove the carriage and took Chen An'an to the seaside where the giant boat was found yesterday. Stop the car and search several times before determining the approximate location of the secret passage in the stone chamber. Then unload the supplies from the wagon, take out the rope, choose a suitable position, and fix the rope to a large tree.

"An An, wait for me to go down, you just wait on it." Luo Xiaotian found a safe cliff and lowered the rope to the bottom of the cliff.

"Are you afraid I'm unlucky? Why don't you let me go down. Yesterday's events seem like I'm your god of luck. Chen Anan didn't want Luo Xiaotian to underestimate himself, so he wanted to go with him.

"Just listen to me, and I'll come up soon. I said yes last night, come as planned. ”

Without waiting for Chen Anan to say anything, he followed the rope and began to climb down.

It didn't take long for Luo Xiaotian to descend to the bottom of the cliff. shook the rope three times to give Chen Anan a hint, indicating that he landed safely. Then he walked to the beach and waved at Chen An'an. Chen An'an quickly understood what he meant, and laboriously threw down several bundles of fishing nets that had been placed on the edge of the cliff to the bottom of the cliff.

Luo Xiaotian dragged a bundle of fishing nets weighing 100 catties and threw the fishing nets back and forth on the giant boat at the bottom of the sea several times. Next, the thick rope used to climb on the cliff is pulled close to the sea edge and thrown into the bottom of the sea.

Luo Xiaotian took out the water-containing beads, which glowed with rainbow-colored light in the sun, crystal clear like a crystal ball. It should contain some kind of substance that will form a barrier when it encounters water. Luo Xiaotian jumped into the bottom of the sea where the giant boat was hidden with the water beads, and the sea surface instantly sunken down, forming a spherical surface that automatically opened the seawater. As Luo Xiaotian sank, the sea water covered it again.

The giant boat was not deep from the sea, and Luo Xiaotian landed on its tail with a bead of water. Then the nets were opened one by one, wrapped around the spiral blades at the tail of the giant boat, and the other end of all the nets was tied to the tail of the giant boat with a thick rope to prevent them from falling. He wrapped the extra thick rope around and around until he wrapped the blades tightly.

After a long time, Chen Anan saw that Luo Xiaotian still did not surface, his brows were tightened, and his heart became more and more worried. She looked at the surface of the sea and the rope beneath her feet. I thought to myself, if I couldn't see Luo Xiaotian again, I would climb down.

Finally, the huge waves rolled on the surface of the sea, Luo Xiaotian surfaced, he stepped on the seawater, and walked towards the shore step by step. Chen An'an was full of joy, jumping up and down, waving his hand at Luo Xiaotian and shouting, "Brother Xiaotian......"

I saw Luo Xiaotian, who had climbed up safely. Chen Anan hurriedly pounced on him and gave him a big hug.

"Alright, alright...... Don't get too excited, I'm almost exhausted. ”

Luo Xiaotian patted her on the shoulder and told her to stop, looked at the sea, and smiled slyly.

"This is called overcoming rigidity with softness, and I'll wait to see a good show tomorrow. Let's go, we still have something to do. I don't know what's going on with my brother. ”
