Zizhu City in November is as warm as the Central Plains in July and August, even hot. The passers-by who were hurrying up and down the street seemed to be infected by the strange weather, and they didn't realize that it was time to get ready to go home.

However, there was no such hot atmosphere in the Quang Nam Palace, and most of the subordinate sergeants did not make a sound when they acted. In the back garden of the palace, next to Chenghai, the king of Guangnan is fishing.

This Chenghai, whose name is Hai, is actually a lake that draws the water of the Chen River and creates it. But the fish in it, both in terms of type and number, are a very scary number, so it's not completely sorry for the word sea.

Every time the king of Quang Nam took the bait, someone would immediately bite the hook. The king of Guangnan squinted and did not raise the rod, but someone guarded the Chenghai Sea, plucked the fish for him, sent it to the fishing basket on the shore, and hung a new bait for him. It's a weird fishing, but no one dares to say anything that isn't.

Today, the sun is scorching, and the king of Quang Nam is surrounded by a circle of maids, each of whom is draped with willow branches, shielding the king of Quang Nam from the sun with a slender shadow. These maids all had good faces and tall figures, but at the moment their faces were red from the sun, and they were sweating, and they still stood there and did not dare to move. They are "beauty willows", which are specially shaded for the prince. They were afraid that if they moved, they would disturb the good interest of the king of Guangnan and be thrown into the Chenghai Sea to feed the fish.

King Guangnan sat on the chair, his eyes closed, holding the fishing rod with his right hand, his index finger constantly tapping the fishing rod gently, and the slight tremor was transmitted to Chenghai through the fishing line, causing faint ripples.

A soldier hurried from the path outside the garden, his armor was heavy, his forehead was already covered with beads of sweat as he stood guard, and his clothes in the armor were already wet with sweat, as if he was wearing two pieces of bamboo horn armor.

He hurried to the garden door and explained his intention to the soldiers guarding the door.

The soldier nodded, walked to the king of Guangnan in a few steps, and said, "Lord Wang, Mr. Song asks to see you." ”

"Well, let him in."

When the soldier heard this, he hurried back, and the soldier who was guarding the door ran out along the path of the garden.

After a while, there was a sound of swift footsteps. Song Qingshu soon appeared at the gate of the garden, and the soldier did not stop him, he walked straight to the king of Guangnan, knelt down and saluted, and said, "Qingshu knocks on the prince." ”

The edges of Chenghai are covered with green mountain jade brought from the northern frontier, which absorbs the heat from the sun to the maximum extent and releases it at night. In this way, sometimes when the king of Quang Nam comes to fish during the day, he will not be uncomfortable with the heat.

Of course, this Qingshan jade itself is not without its shortcomings. It can absorb heat, so its own temperature is very high, and if you look closely, you will find that a layer of purple bamboo mat is laid at the feet of the King of Guangnan and even at the feet of the "beauty willow" around him. Song Qingshu knelt down and saluted, but he knelt directly on the green mountain jade, and his knees were uncomfortably burned by the high temperature.

"Get up, it's hot on the ground." The king of Quang Nam did not open his eyes, but commanded directly.

Song Qingshu hurriedly got up and thanked him as if he had been pardoned.

"Say, what's the matter, you're in such a hurry, you haven't even breathed."

Looking carefully, the beads of sweat on Song Qingshu's forehead were hanging, his sideburns were scattered, and his clothes were stained with dust everywhere. This is very different from his usual image of a humble gentleman.

"Lord Wang," Song Qingshu took a breath, came over, and said, "The letter, the letter sent to the capital, was stopped." ”

"Well, I probably guessed that Cheng Ranxuan didn't die."

"Said to be dead, Ziwei Sword and letter were sent to the capital. However, the crape myrtle sword is a broken sword, and the letter is only half left. ”

"Who sent it to the capital?"

"Admiral of the South Lake Water Division, Chu Yihai."

"Tsk, old fellow." The king of Guangnan said, opened his eyes, and said, "How did he find out about this?" ”

"There is a report of the wind stabbing, a soldier named Zu Kang broke out of the encirclement, fled all the way to the Nanhu camp, and was discovered by the soldiers who set up a card patrol, and there were still some flat-headed people present at that time. However, when the wind pierced and went to ask some people, these people and the soldiers got on a boat and set off from the Nanhu ferry to the north, and when they were in the middle of the Nanhu Lake, the boat sank. ”

"Chu Yihai has not been in vain in the past few decades. It's just that his courage hasn't changed for decades, and he's still as timid as a mouse. ”

King Guangnan's eyes were blank, staring at the sky, and said, "Since Xinhe Sword has arrived in Tianjing City, I want to know what Xian'er has done." ”

"The prince cried in court, dressed in linen and filial piety, welcomed the crape myrtle sword back to the house, and according to the requirements of your letter, he was confined to the house, did not go out, and all the guests would never be seen."

"Is that all?"

"Now the news, His Royal Highness the Prince has only done this."

"Rubbish!" King Guangnan's sudden roar startled the people around him, especially a few "beauty willows", and their bodies trembled a little. The little face was originally sunburned, but now it has become pale.

"The prince is angry."

"How to calm anger, such a good opportunity, will only stay at home and pretend to be filial piety. Then Xu De doesn't dare to offend like this? The conditions are good, Cheng Ranxuan is also dead, why don't you dare to bite Xu De! ”

"Lord Wang, the prince should still abide by the rules you set and seek stability."

King Guangnan's left hand reached out to the thigh of a "beauty willow" and twisted it fiercely. The "beauty willow" didn't dare to make a sound, the moisture in his eyes couldn't be hidden, but fortunately, there was still some sweat that could cover the moisture.

Of course, Song Qingshu also noticed King Guangnan's movements, but he didn't speak, but remained silent.

"Who did it, can you find out? Is it outside or inside? King Quang Nam let go of his left hand, closed his eyes again, and lay down on the chair. In this way, he is like a harmless and peaceful old man.

Song Qingshu heard what King Guangnan said outside, and the hairs on his body stood up, and said, "I haven't been able to find this yet." However, I have already sent more than a dozen Wind Thorns to the north. ”

"More than ten is definitely not enough, if Xian'er does it, there are forty or fifty wind thorns in his hands."

Hearing this, Song Qingshu was shocked, could it be that the prince really suspected that it was His Royal Highness the Prince? Hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, what do you mean ......?"

"Zizhu City is very peaceful, it's useless for the wind thorn to stay here, besides, I, Zizhu City, the 120,000 Guangnan army is vegetarian, what Xiaoxiao can threaten this king? Send another hundred winds to the north. must investigate this matter thoroughly, and hang the mastermind's head on Zizhu City. ”

"Yes." Song Qingshu should be down.

"What did my emperor's nephew do? This king wants him to be sensible. ”

"The emperor's edict was given to General Cheng as an official and a knight, and all the glory that could be given was given, but this matter of tracking down the murderer went around and around and handed it over to us."

"Okay, he's still sensible."

"Lord, about the prince, do you need to write a letter to remind you?"

Hearing this, King Guangnan's eyes opened, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he asked leisurely, "Why do I feel that you care so much about Xian'er?" ”

Song Qingshu was still calm at the moment, and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince is the heir of the Guangnan Royal Mansion after all. ”

"The moment my letter arrives in Tianjing City, he is no longer the son of the world."

"After all, the eldest prince is the person who speaks of the Guangnan Palace."

King Guangnan didn't ask any more, but sighed and said, "Cheng Ranxuan is very good at drinking, I don't know if he has anything to drink over there." As he spoke, his finger hooked at Song Qingshu and said, "Qingshu, you go and prepare a hundred jars of drunken jade brew, and then repair a grave bag for Cheng Ranxuan, and put all of them in, which can be regarded as his clothed tomb." Otherwise, others should say that I am the dignified king of Guangnan and don't miss the old love. ”

"The prince is benevolent."

"Go down, I'm tired."

"Yes." Song Qingshu responded, ready to retreat.

When he reached the door, he was stopped by the king of Quang Nam, who turned around and said, "What else does the prince have to command?" ”

"This king will not die for a day, and Liu Xian is just a son after all."

Hearing this, Song Qingshu hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed incessantly, and said, "The prince is angry, Qingshu has nothing to think about!" ”

"You go, there are some things that the king doesn't say."

When Song Qingshu heard this, he kowtowed three times in a row, stiffened his head, and hurried away regardless of the bloodshot hanging from his forehead.

The soldiers guarding outside the imperial garden saw the bloodshot on Song Qingshu's forehead, and stepped forward and said, "Mr. Song, why is it hurt?" ”

When Song Qingshu saw them, he just smiled and went towards his residence.

Song Qingshu followed the path back to his residence. He also lived in the palace of the king of Guangnan, when the king of Guangnan conquered the 36 caves of the southern barbarians, he came up with a lot of vicious schemes, and those barbarians hidden in the mountains and forests offered a large reward for his head. Living in any place will never be safer than this Quang Nam Palace.

Song Qingshu entered the house, the clothes on his body were already soaked with sweat, and they were a little heavy, he took off his clothes and changed into new dry clothes.

When Song Qingshu finished changing his clothes, he sat down in the room, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it slowly. Today's trip is extremely dangerous.

Suddenly, a man walked out of the cubicle, dressed in a cyan robe. , He walked up to Song Qingshu and sat down, took a cup, put it in front of him, and asked, "How?" ”

"As expected." Song Qingshu only said four words, but there was a chill in the room. He picked up the teapot and poured the man a cup of tea.

"If the wind thorns are all out, there is no need for you, the commander, to stay in Zizhu City."

"I can't, I'm afraid of pain, and I'm afraid of death." The man took a sip from his teacup.

"No one will embarrass you, I understand what the prince means." Song Qingshu's assassin was no longer as restrained as he was in front of the king of Guangnan: "The prince has already guessed something, but I don't know how much he guessed, so we have to speed up." ”

"You're going to start working over there?" The man in black didn't say it explicitly, but it was obvious that Song Qingshu knew what he was talking about.

"Let's do it, move slowly, don't disturb the small fish and shrimp." The two spoke cryptically, not knowing what they were plotting.
