Chapter 4: Get on your knees

Whether he accepts it or not, no matter how he escapes, now, the answer is in front of him, Qiu Shuangliang took the envelope from Xuanxuan's hand, tore the seal, and took out the stationery inside.

……

After years of investigation, Uncle Shuangliang has finally found clues to the attack on you five years ago.

This object was sent to you in an envelope, and in a secret visit, I finally met a character, Han Mo, the captain of the third team of the Royal Forest Army.

Han Mo was ordered to leave the palace, and the time of the attack with the virtuous nephew was also exactly right, the virtuous nephew should know that the Imperial Forest Army is an army directly under the emperor, and the deep meaning of the uncle wants the virtuous nephew to know.

This is one thing, and the other is that in recent times, the people who are spying on your small courtyard have become more frequent and blatant than ever, and it seems that the royal family is ready to do something to you.

If you can, go to your brother Qiu Liangshuang, although you two brothers don't deal with each other, but they are brothers, there is a hiding place in the army, the emperor is mediocre in his old age, but he still needs Liangshuang to guard the north.

General Qiu's death in battle is suspicious, and his uncle suspects that the royal family did it, and they have already destroyed the Great Wall, and it is impossible for them to destroy the city wall again.

Now that the crown prince has not been established, the royal family is constantly fighting, but in the uncle's opinion, the eldest prince, the second prince, and the third prince all have means, and the emperor also intends to choose one of them to inherit the unification, and when the new emperor ascends the throne, he will definitely find out the truth.

……

Qiu Shuangliang took out a piece of jade pendant from the bottom of the envelope, the texture of the jade pendant is considered high-grade, and the workmanship is exquisite, and ordinary people can't make it.

Looking at the style, it was also newly made not long ago, and it came from the hands of the court, and it would never take more than ten years, so it should be rewarded.

Since it was a reward, it was easy to find out who it was for, but it was just a matter of making connections.

Qiu Shuangliang held the jade pendant, but his heart was always calm and upset.

The envelope dissipated in the candle flame, and Qiu Shuangliang knew that these things could not be known by others, and if the contents of the envelope were obtained, it might lead to the death of General Mao, and these things should disappear as well.

Looking at the burning of the envelope, the candle flame in the pupils of the autumn frost also danced.

"Childe, what is written in the letter?" Xuanxuan asked curiously, "This jade pendant is so beautiful, was it given to the son by the master?" ”

"Does Xuanxuan like it? If you like it, I'll give it to you. ”

Qiu Shuangliang handed over the jade pendant to Xuanxuan's hands, anyway, this jade pendant was just a proof for him, and had no other use.

"Give it to me? Xuanxuan didn't dare to ask for it, what if she lost it? Xuanxuan hurriedly excused herself.

"Then you should cherish it."

Autumn Frost responded naturally, but soon realized something.

This piece of jade pendant is extraordinary, it is just an ordinary thing for General Mao, but for an ordinary Imperial Forest Army, this kind of object is not ordinary, not to mention that this is a reward from others.

In this case, why do you have to carry such an important thing with you on the mission, if you say that it is because you value it very much, then if you lose it, you will definitely find it, and how can you give General Mao a chance to find this clue.

"It seems that this matter is not simple, but being able to mobilize the Royal Forest Army should be inseparable from the royal family."

Qiu Shuangliang said secretly in his heart, his eyes also dimmed, he knew that once this result was decided, it would mean that he and Xu Junyue were going to stand on opposite sides.

"Wow." There was a knock on the door.

"Who?" Qiu Shuangliang immediately became vigilant, although the envelope had been destroyed, he was still a little nervous in his heart.

"Childe, it's me, Lu Lin."

Hearing the response, Qiu Shuangliang's heart immediately stabilized, but he forgot that Lu Lin was taking care of him in the small courtyard.

Maybe in the eyes of others, Lu Lin is just a servant, but Qiu Shuangliang knows that Lu Lin is actually a student of General Mao.

In the army, Lu Lin is the vanguard of the general under the general's account, his skills are undoubted, who can make contributions on the battlefield, which is not a ruthless person?

It's just that General Mao unloaded his armor, and Lu Lin also resigned from his official position and followed willingly, along with a man named Zheng Qingfeng, who was also a student of General Mao, and was already a junior general when he resigned.

"What?"

"Childe, the ninth princess is here, and she is ...... outside the courtyard"

"Nope."

Qiu Shuangliang seemed to have made a big decision, every word was bitten out, and a punch hit the case, and the flames shook with it, as if they were about to jump out of the lamp, but after all, it was calm.

"Childe, it may not work if you don't see it, the ninth princess has a holy decree in her hand."

"It seems that I can't escape."

Qiu Shuangliang laughed at himself and pinned the jade pendant to his waist.

"Childe!" Xuanxuan shouted worriedly on the side.

"It's okay, it's a blessing or a curse, I can't escape it, I can't die now, it's just that black and white impermanence has taken me to the underworld, and I will crawl out of the grave."

The autumn frost cooled out of the courtyard, and the rain had stopped for a long time, but the wind had not stopped, and the clouds had dispersed, so it seemed that tomorrow should be a sunny day.

I can see that the dark clouds have also turned white, piled up in layers, which is good, the Qingming weather is too dull.

But this yellow kudzu tree, remember that it was also this season when it was planted, and now it is the season of its leaves, this tree is also leisurely, sitting in the courtyard and listening to the rain, the wind is fine, and no one goes to the white tower.

The ground of Kyoto's boundaries is paved and flat, and as soon as the rain passes and the wind blows, the ground dries up, and the castle is new, and everything is as calm as an oil painting.

The yellow kudzu tree stretched out of the courtyard, the fallen leaves went with the wind, the wind also had affection for the heart, under the big tree, a person was indifferent, looking at the sky, looking at the ground, looking at the red brocade opposite; The other person is full of resentment, deep love, strong hatred, and no words to express his feelings.

A leaf drifted between the two, breaking the silence, and a gust of wind broke the silence of the two.

"The grass people visit the ninth princess in the autumn frost, I don't know what instructions the ninth princess has when she comes to the cold house?" Autumn Frost bowed and saluted.

"Do you have to talk to me like that? Can't you call me Junyue the same way you used to? ”

I remember that in the past, the dress of the nine princesses did not seem to have any characteristics except for the luxury that a nobleman should have, but since five years ago, the dress of the nine princesses has all turned red.

I don't know how the heart of the ninth princess is cold, but he knows that they are two straight lines that intersect because of accidents, and the two met at a certain moment, but it was only a short moment, and from then on, the road of the two would go farther and farther.

All of this, Qiu Shuangliang can't tell Xu Junyue, just think that he has lost her, maybe only time can give her an answer.

"The princess forgives her sins." Autumn frost is still saluting.

"Princess, princess, since you call me princess, then you kneel down for me!"
