Chapter 84: Tracking
"You kid, what do you say you're okay and running around? Aren't you afraid of being eaten by wolves? If you do this again in the future, I will serve you with my punishment! Xiao Chongguang smiled and slapped Yan Lingfeng's shoulder.
"Okay, I promise not to make an example." Yan Lingfeng raised his head and raised his three fingers and swore an oath.
"Come on! In the morning, I will say that you are not an example, you are not doing it right. I don't believe your oath! Sogo laughed.
Zhu Wuyi struggled to recline under the big tree, gritted his teeth, and pulled out a serpentine dart from his ribs - Yan Lingfeng used this to sneak attack him just now.
Seeing that Xiao Chongguang and the two were chatting, he was very energetic, obviously relaxed his vigilance, and did not stare at himself, and secretly said in his heart: "Good opportunity!" ”
So he used his true qi, used his internal strength, and swirled violently on the ground, and the whole person walked close to the ground in a prostrate state, and at the same time reached out and quickly retrieved the Netherworld Sword.
"Not good!"
Xiao Chongguang was so shocked that he was about to stop him, but it was too late, Zhu Wuyi had already risen in the air and jumped on the tree a few feet away from him.
"Whoosh!"
Yan Lingfeng aimed directly at Insatiable, flicked his sleeves and fired a string of black swallowtail darts, only to see Zhu Innocent snort, swinging the Nether Sword, shooting down all those darts and splitting them in half. He said coldly to Yan Lingfeng: "The kid who released the darkener, I remember you!" ”
After that, Zhu Wuyi was tired of his feet, flew back, and said in his mouth: "Xiao Weichang, today's hatred, Zhu will repay him several times in the future!" Also, I have also written down your trick 'Stars and Moons', I believe that there are many masters under the Venerable Lord, and someone will definitely know the place where you are told! ”
After saying the last sentence, Zhu Wuyi disappeared into the vast night.
Leaving Xiao Chongguang, who was pale, and Yan Lingfeng, who gritted his teeth, was left.
"Brother Xiao, aren't we chasing?" Ling Feng asked with some eagerness.
Sogo shook his head: "Although this person is seriously injured, he is scheming, and if he rushes forward, he will be plotted." What's more, he ran out for a few feet, and he re-held the Netherworld Sword, and his combat power rose again, what good was it to chase it? Then he sighed, "Alas, it's all my fault for being careless, and letting this thief escape." ”
Ling Feng said, "Brother Xiao, what should we do next?" ”
Xiao Chongguang said: "Go to Zhongzhou Mansion first, you must be fast!" ”
"Understood!"
The Imperial City of the Eastern Capital, the Imperial Mountain, the end of Youmo
The cold and biting wind swept overwhelmingly from north to south, blowing the woods in the back mountain to "rustle", and there were not a few yellow leaves left on some withered trees.
At this time, there are three figures shuttling through the dense forest of the back mountain, among them, two people on the left and right carrying shovels in their left hands and lanterns in their right hands, illuminating the way ahead for the smaller person in the middle.
Through the faint light, it can be seen that the people holding the lanterns on the left and right sides are wearing beast swallowing helmets, wearing silver and white armor, red robes as the bottom, wearing dark brown cloaks, belts and swords, this dress, at first glance, is the personal guard of a certain prince, and the middle one, wearing a cyan brocade robe, wearing a dark yellow coat of fox fur, wearing a jade crown, a fair face, with a little immature air, judging by his age, but sixteen or seventeen years old - this person is Song Qi, the king of Huai.
"Little prince, are you really sure it's in this area?" The young guard standing on the left frowned and asked softly, "We've all turned around here several times, and we haven't found the mark you said, Little Prince." ”
"Shut up! It was buried by the little prince himself, how could it be wrong? The older guard on the right reprimanded, "Just spin around." ”
"Why are you so loud? Surprise me! ”
Song Qi patted his chest and scolded, the "shut up" just now really scared him when he was seriously groping for a mark.
"Subordinates should die, please forgive the little prince!" The right guard hurriedly knelt down on one knee and confessed.
"Why are you kneeling, you can't see clearly, forgive your innocence, get up!" Song Qi kicked the guard and said.
"Thank you, Lord Wang!"
The right guard's submissive appearance made the left guard gloat and laugh non-stop, but he didn't dare to show it, so he could only purse his lips and snicker vigorously.
It turned out that Song Qi learned the news of Song Miao's successful courtship this afternoon, and he was very happy for his fifth brother, thinking that although this matter offended the emperor's eldest brother, he still had to go to Jingming Palace to celebrate Song Miao, but he had been entangled in what to send.
Fortunately, when I returned to the palace from the martial arts training ground today, I happened to pass by the imperial kitchen, and suddenly remembered that two years ago, I had received three altars of wine from Tan Xiong, the general of the sweeping north, and he hid it on the back mountain, and used his short knife to carve three python patterns on the trunk of a tree closest to the wine storage place, as a souvenir, so that it can be taken out in the future. Now it's time to take out an altar as a congratulatory gift.
Of course, Tan Xiong's wine is not a bribe, but because when Song Qi was thirteen years old, he went to Youzhou with Emperor Chu to comfort the soldiers who had just fought with Rong Di and won, Song Qi was good at riding a bow horse, and at a young age he could accurately shoot two arrows on the target red heart, and in the Youzhou military camp, he showed his skills, and won Tan Xiong's admiration, both of them are people who love martial arts, and they also learned from each other, and then became friends, Song Qi even Xu Tan Xiong can call his name when he sees him. Therefore, these three jars of wine are just gifts from friends.
"Found it!"
Song Qi was pleased to find that the trunk of a big tree in front of him had his own carved python pattern, but it was slightly higher than the position three years ago, and the python pattern was obviously longer.
Song Qi said secretly: "No wonder I didn't find it just now, it turns out that this tree has grown a lot taller." With that, he pointed to the left and right guards, pointed to the bottom of the tree and said, "It's here, dig!" ”
"Whoa!"
The two of them were ordered, and immediately put down the lantern and excavated with a shovel.
Song Qi wandered around boredly, waiting for them to dig out the wine.
At this moment, Song Qi suddenly found that not far in front of him, faintly, there seemed to be a fire shuttling through the woods.
Song Qi was shocked in his heart: "It can't be that someone is coming over!" ”
It turned out that the palace had a rule that royal people were not allowed to enter and leave the back mountain at will without an order after night.
The promulgation of this regulation is mainly on the other side of the back mountain, where the Tiger Ben Army is stationed, because they are afraid that some people from the royal family will fornicate with the army and raise troops to rebel. This back mountain and the Tiger Ben army are the only barriers behind the palace, and if this place is broken through by unscrupulous people, the palace will be in danger.
Song Qi turned around and shouted to the two guards: "It seems that someone is coming, you use your cloak to cover the light of the lantern, and you must not be discovered by others!" ”
"Yes!"
The guards hurriedly untied their cloaks and covered up the lanterns around them, the side of the lantern that would emit light.
Song Qi said: "You keep digging, I'll go and see." ”
After that, he flew towards the firelight like a gust of wind, he jumped and landed on a tree smoothly, he was like this, with the tree as a support point, jumping quickly, slowly approaching, and after it crossed more than ten trees, the flickering fire was finally obvious, however, this time Song Qi could not fly as hard as before, but used light skills, like a bird, his footsteps stood gently on the branch of the tree just a few steps away from the firelight, fortunately, the leaves of the tree did not all fall off, and he could take advantage of this to hide himself.
He held his breath, looked at the firelight carefully, and was surprised when he saw it clearly, it turned out to be none other than Song Lin, the king of letters, wearing a black cloak and holding a torch, shuttling through the mountains and forests, looking at his panicked expression, and looking around, as if he was going to see someone.
However, what kind of person will be set in the back mountain and meet privately with a powerful prince?
"I want to see, what the third brother is going to do!"
Song Qi thought to himself, he was already dissatisfied with this brother who had always been him, and this time he saw that he was suspicious, and there seemed to be something obscure, how could he not follow him.
Song Lin, the king of letters, has actually been withdrawn and unsociable since he was a child, and the princes in the palace are not only the Huaiwang Song Qi and the crown prince Song Yu, but the other princes are also unwilling to be with him.
After that, I don't know what happened between him and Liang Xiang, the prime minister's party began to support this king of letters, helping him how to deal with official affairs, share his father's worries, how to get the grace of the Sacred Heart, and finally have the power to fight against the prince's party, which is not easy.
After Song Lin gained power, the action became more and more frequent, in addition to entering the heart hall, in addition to giving advice to the Chu Emperor's approval, he also often went to the border to visit the soldiers who defended the country there, and the Chu Emperor also granted Song Lin the post of governor many times, and the name of "Hunting on behalf of the saint" was found all over Kyushu, so prestige has far surpassed that of today's prince. Song Qi also heard some ministers say that in the current court, there have been calls for the prince to make Xian. makes Song Yu frightened every day, which is also the reason why he has been going too far lately.
Song Qi also wanted to obtain Song Lin's secret to ease the relationship between him and Song Yu, after all, he was biased towards Song Mo on the issue of proposing to Miss Zhao.
Song Qi's steps were fast, his body was as light as a swallow, and he was able to jump without shaking the branches, and Song Lin felt that there was something important in his heart, but he was just in a hurry, and he didn't have time to pay attention to the surroundings at all, so Song Qi could also follow him safely.
"Your Highness, it's early today."
Suddenly, in the woods in front of Song Lin, there was a leisurely voice that seemed to be a woman's.
Song Qi's heart froze, stopped his steps, and half-squatted on the branch, wanting to see who Song Lin was meeting privately.
I only heard Song Lin say: "This is the royal back mountain, and it is taboo to break into this place at night, so I have to come early and go back early to avoid suspicion." ”
"I like Your Highness's cautiousness."
The voice rang out again, and with a smile.
Not long after, a woman dressed in a thick light red robe slowly walked out of the dark woods in front of her, this woman has a pair of seductive peach blossom eyes, cherry lips, although there is no heavy makeup, only a touch of powder, it does not affect her heart-stopping beauty in the slightest.
But when Song Qi saw it, he felt a chill in his heart.
This woman he had seen.
It was on the post-nativity that the woman who performed "Fairy Falling from the Sky"!
