Chapter 8: The Night Solstice
At night, the bright moon hangs in the sky, and a few sparse clouds are like white silk, wrapping the full moon. The day of the dock city is always lively, the night of the dock city is always silent, there is a curfew here, every night, this bustling commercial capital, the capital of the state of the city will also unload the colorful powder, back to the rustic and quiet town.
Su Yuhua and Zhao Yuanxi drank and chatted very happily, Su Yuhua was already drunk and slept on the ground.
Zhao Yuanxi shouted: "Come on, carry Yuhuajun to the side hall and fall asleep." ”
Zhao Yuanxi was a little drunk, but he couldn't drink him with two jars of drunken flowers, and he had always loved wine, and he had already practiced the ability to drink. Born into a royal family, he is in danger of dying at any time, which also makes him always sober and vigilant, even in a drunken state, he can maintain a calm judgment.
A guard and two maids came in and carried Su Yuhua out.
Zhao Yuanxi ate peanuts and admonished: "The door is closed, and you are not allowed to enter without my communication." ”
"Yes." The maid withdrew.
As soon as the door closed, Alain jumped in through the window, very light.
Alan knelt down and saluted, "The minister greets the third prince." ”
Alain's voice was cold, and there was almost no emotion in her tone, like a clean blade, without mud or emotion.
Zhao Yuanxi looked at Alan and said, "You are injured." ”
Alain had a visible cut on his right arm, his sleeve was cut by a sharp blade, and his flesh was blurred, and blood flowed down his arm to his hand, dripping on the ground.
In the face of Alain's injury, Zhao Yuanxi showed unusual calmness, which did not match his character, if he was replaced by Su Yuhua, I am afraid that he would have called seven or eight doctors who were already worried.
Of course, Alan is a person who has experienced a hundred battles, and there are too many people who want to assassinate Zhao Yuanxi for so many years, and Alan is the one who secretly protects Zhao Yuanxi, so this kind of injury does not need to be particularly worried, maybe it is already used to it.
Alan replied: "The minister is not doing well, and he has stained the carpet of the three princes, and the minister is guilty." ”
Alain stared at the man in front of her, the only person she trusted in the world, her benefactor. But I don't know when the third prince became indifferent, especially to herself, she actually had a trace of sadness, mixed with expectations, hoping that he would care about herself.
This is wrong, and killers shouldn't have that emotion. Alain introspected.
Zhao Yuanxi opened the delicate cabinet and took out a mahogany box containing all kinds of medicines.
"And then." Zhao Yuanxi took out a bottle of medicinal powder and threw it to Alan who was kneeling on the ground.
"In the future, you will take this medicine, it is a miracle medicine for treating external injuries. The reward I got from the last hunt is a total of three bottles, and you can come back to me to get it when you run out. ”
Alain opened the bottle and sniffed it, and a smell of medicine came to his face, the smell was so familiar.
"This is the crane returning to the sky, and the minister does not dare to accept it!" Alan had seen it once when he was practicing martial arts in the Northern Regions, and it was a rare treasure that the master took out and used only when he was seriously injured.
Crane Huitiansan, a healing elixir produced in the Southern Regions, the main ingredients are Crane Grass, Golden Snake Gall, and the mysterious formula that is not spread in the Southern Regions. It is said that this medicine can be cured even if the broken arm is applied, and ordinary trauma can be applied to stop bleeding immediately, and it is guaranteed to heal in one day. This year, the country got a hundred bottles, and in the last hunting competition, the three princes got three bottles, and this crane returns to the sky to disperse can be said to be a rare treasure that money can't buy.
Zhao Yuanxi explained: "I don't fight either, it's useless to keep it." And you keep it in case you need it. Besides, I have two more bottles. ”
Alain's heart was warm, and he blamed himself for the thoughts that suddenly came to him just now, the third prince has not changed, he is still the kind third prince, but now he has just experienced more things and grown. replied: "Third Prince Xie." ”
Zhao Yuanxi sat back in his place, continued to taste the wine, and said, "Let's talk about your harvest today." ”。
Alan replied: "The minister has found out, fourteen maids and eight guards died in the East Palace. The minister examined the corpses and found that they were all killed by twisting their necks, which was a kind of profound martial art that killed people without weapons. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also died tragically in the palace, and there were traces of a fight in the palace, and according to the situation in the palace, there should have been three or more assassins. ”
