Chapter Thirty-Eight: Falling into a Conspiracy
Chapter Thirty-Eight: Falling into a Conspiracy
That familiar figure has a close connection with his beloved girl, he is Zhao Susu's younger brother - Zhao Yuanxi.
Luo Xiaotian felt strange: some time ago, their family had already left Kyoto, why did Zhao Yuanxi appear on the streets of the city at this moment, and he was accompanied by a group of skilled guards.
In order to find out, Luo Xiaotian took Yun Jian and followed closely all the way.
The two teenagers, one big and one young, walked in the same step and walked cautiously, like a thief with a weak heart.
About half an hour later, Zhao Yuanxi walked straight into the prince's mansion without any hesitation.
Luo Xiaotian, who was not far behind him, thought for a while, patted Xiao Yunjian beside him, and asked solemnly, "This young man, can you see the appearance clearly?" ”
Seeing the confidence in his eyes, Xiao Yun nodded vigorously: "Hmm!" ”
"Okay, Yunjian, you remember, help me keep an eye on this rich boy. If there is a situation, go back to the house to find me, and you must not act without permission, and you must not show your trace, can you do it? Luo Xiaotian was a little uneasy, and explained again and again.
Without a moment of hesitation, Xiao Yunjian's eyes were as confident as usual, and he nodded vigorously: "Hmm!" ”
Seeing his eyes so firm, Luo Xiaotian stopped admonishing. Xiao Yunjian specializes in stealth and concealment, so there is no need to worry too much. But as soon as he thought of the situation in the underground palace, he was afraid, however, in the face of the embarrassment that no one was available at the moment, he could only entrust him with a heavy responsibility. Even if he is given a small test, he still has to go on his own in the future.
And he seemed to enjoy the job. Luo Xiaotian empathized with him, and would not interfere too much with Xiao Yunjian like the master controlled himself.
Perhaps, at this moment, the master, who is far away at the Apocalypse Peak, is sneezing and flying with white beards. As soon as he thought of this, Luo Xiaotian couldn't help laughing.
Yun Jian, who was staring at the prince's mansion, turned his head and looked at Luo Xiaotian, who was smirking, with disdain, and gave him a roll of his eyes by the way.
Luo Xiaotian coughed to relieve the embarrassment and turned to leave.
……
Entering the prince's mansion, the servants in the palace took Zhao Yuanxi to the courtyard of the side hall, and the prince and Lin Pingrui were already waiting inside.
As soon as he entered the door, Lin Pingrui looked very enthusiastic, and immediately got up to greet him and treated him politely.
"Pingrui has seen the little prince, and the prince has been waiting for a long time. It's a great honor for you to be able to appreciate your face. ”
As soon as this kind of flattery entered his ears, Zhao Yuanxi was very useful. Standing upright, the arrogance of the aristocracy arises spontaneously, as if pretending to be the majesty of a little prince, and his childish face, but it looks nondescript.
Seeing him enter the play, Lin Pingrui pretended to be humble, the cunning in his eyes disappeared as soon as he saw it, nodded his head, and made a gesture of please: "The little prince is also invited to take a seat." ”
Zhao Yuanxi squinted at him, looked back, and said to the prince: "Yuanxi has seen the prince's brother!" ”
"Brother Yuanxi, don't be polite, just sit down." The prince said with a smile on his face.
"Your Highness!"
Zhao Yuanxi took a seat, and the servant hurriedly poured a cup of tea.
The prince held the teacup, smelled the tea, and asked kindly: "I don't know how my uncle is doing, I was busy with the Queen Mother's birthday banquet last time, and I haven't visited it in person." ”
Zhao Yuanxi was overjoyed, and replied: "Thank you Your Highness for your concern, my father has experienced a hundred battles, and his body is quite tough." ”
The prince laughed heartily: "Oh? That's good. But speaking of which, my uncle didn't get a job for you when he went to Beijing this time, but it made my family Yuan Xi condescend! ”
The smile on Zhao Yuanxi's face gradually melted, he sighed, and said with a sad face: "My father is too cautious, pity me for having empty ambitions." Fortunately, the prince's brother let me stay, and in the future, I will definitely make a name for myself in this Kyoto City, and I won't show my father jokes. ”
"The little prince is really ambitious, he is really a tiger father without a dog." Lin Pingrui echoed.
The prince remembered that he hadn't introduced Lin Pingrui yet, so he immediately smiled and said: "Yuan Xi, I forgot to introduce you, the person in front of me is Lin Pingrui, the son of Lin Pingrui of Dali Temple, and he also recommended you." ”
Hearing the prince's words, Zhao Yuanxi's attitude immediately changed, he attached importance to Lin Pingrui, and said to him with a pleasant face: "It turned out to be Lin Gongzi, disrespectful!" It's just that we don't know each other......"
"Little Prince, you don't know anything, Your Highness cherishes your talents, and is willing to recruit all the proud guests in the world, relieve the emperor's worries, and do your best for the court. After the little prince was a tiger general, the little minister only recommended His Highness slightly, and it was all because of the prince's wisdom that he immediately agreed. ”
This Lin Pingrui is clever and flattering, flattering on both sides, and no one can be offended.
After a polite greeting, Zhao Yuanxi was a little selfless and intoxicated: "Thank you for the prince's love, thank you Brother Pingrui, there is no wine here, I will use tea instead of wine to express my gratitude." ”
"How can there be no wine in my house, my brother stays tonight and drinks a few glasses." The prince said.
"Then follow the prince's brother's wishes, Yuan Xi is better to obey his fate than to be respectful, haha......"
The two princes also laughed in response and said yes in unison.
……
As night falls, the city of Kyoto is lit up with peace and quiet.
The undercurrent of the river that runs through the city is turbulent, lapping against the riverbank, breaking through the silence of the night.
At this time, a light boat floated in and docked at the ferry.
Several mysterious people in night clothes stopped at the pier and whispered a few words to each other. Then, they quickly scattered towards the city, like a night demon melting into the night.
In Kyoto tonight, there are many shadows hidden under the dark curtain.
On the rooftops under the tall city walls, a few wild cats howled hoarsely. Like a baby's cry, echoing in the vast sky of the night, it is terrifying to hear.
Soon after, one of the men in black appeared in the Bei'an Palace, which was still lit by candles.
Beyond the high walls of the palace, he hurried towards the bright chambers, his steps light, even when he landed on the stone pavement.
Suddenly, the man in black had already walked to the door, half-pushed the door, and dodged in.
On the edge of the door, two figures were projected by candlelight, standing opposite each other.
Then, the sound of two figures talking could be heard inside.
"Master, everything has been done according to your arrangement."
"Kyoto is no better than Lingyang City, and your whereabouts must be kept secret and not exposed."
"Please rest assured, the subordinates have already explained, if there is an accident, even if it is to death, they will keep their mouths shut."
"What is the current situation with Luo Xiaotian?"
"He's extremely cautious and it's hard to track. In addition to us, there are people who have been secretly following him. To the bewilderment of his subordinates, the news of his finding evidence is now spreading all over the city. ”
"Hmph, this kid is the one who wants to take the bait."
The man in black paused, as if he had something to say, hesitated for a while, and had to blurt out: "Master...... A few days ago, there were people who were hidden...... Missing. ”
The owner was a little panicked: "Why did you come to report at this time?" How's it going? ”
"When the master returned to Lingyang City, it was inconvenient for his subordinates to show up. Someone must be trying to use him to find out the master behind it. However, rest assured, even if he dies, he will not betray you. ”
The master sighed, paused, and said, "As a last resort, you must rescue, and you must not abandon your companions, this is the first principle of the hidden." ”
"Yes! Obey the Master's admonition. ”
The master paced back and forth, thinking for a moment: "Keep an eye on Luo Xiaotian, don't let him have an accident, save the situation, you can only rely on him!" ”
"Yes!"
When the conversation ended, the man in black exited the chamber, closed the door, jumped a few steps, and escaped into the night.
……
Late at night, Luo Xiaotian, who returned to the Hou Mansion, sat in front of Chen An'an's bed, holding a bowl of soup and feeding spoonfuls to her closed lips.
Chen An'an's complexion turned significantly, and his lips were slightly red. The candlelight fluttered in the wind, reflecting on her face, as if there was a faint glow. Where the glow dissolves, the clavicle is clearly defined, rising and falling with breathing.
The cold and beautiful color wants to capture people's souls.
After feeding the soup, Luo Xiaotian put down the soup bowl.
Walked to the breezy windowsill, took out the champa in his arms, clenched his palms, and saw that he was divine. A name that fascinated him jumped into his mind - Susu.
At this time, Zhao Susu, in the dark, his eyes were open bright, not stained with vulgar dust, like stars. The stars twinkled, and each one turned into a wisp of thought, all of which were Luo Xiaotian's figure.
Unconsciously, his eyes drooped, his lips opened lightly, and he couldn't help whispering: "Xiaotian......"
The love is deep for a long time, and the gathering and dispersion are impermanent, if it is not for the love obsession, how can he be separated.
