After the crisis was resolved, the officials of the Ministry of Rites and Wei Tianzi, who had said goodbye to Xiangwang Hongjing, returned to their respective tents.

At this time, Li Cheng revealed the reason why Zhao Hongrun immediately returned to the Qingyang tribe to Wei Tianzi, which made Wei Tianzi, who had always looked very strange after accepting the gifts of the two rabbits, look much better.

"You mean, Yuan Ling is injured?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. …… According to His Royal Highness King Su, the prince was shot by a horse thief's crossbow before he died, although it was only a skin wound, but because of excessive bleeding, he has not woken up. ”

『……』

Wei Tianzi frowned when he heard this.

After all, from the situation told by Zhao Hongrun, it can be known that his sixth brother Zhao Yuanyan is also fateful this time, and the crossbow arrow only hit the shoulder blade, not the vital point.

But according to the situation at the time, what if it was shot in the head?

If this is the case, it is believed that their Wei State will lose a member of the royal family in this land.

Thinking of this, Wei Tianzi was furious from his heart, clenched his fists and said with a sullen face: "Give me the wanted Huan Hu, whether you live or die!" ”

"Yes!" Li Cheng nodded in response.

"In addition, summon the Cheng Gao army to escort you."

"This ......" Li Cheng hesitated when he heard this: "Your Majesty, this move may attract criticism." …… If the Cheng Gao army is summoned to escort it, I am afraid that the people of the Qi people here will be suspicious of this, which is not conducive to the negotiation of the matter of "borrowing the way". ”

Hearing this, Wei Tianzi pondered for a moment, shook his head and sighed: "I don't know if the purpose of that Huan Hu is really to capture me, or if this is just an excuse, its real purpose is to sabotage the talks between my Great Wei and Yin Rong. …… He did it. I can be sure that tomorrow, the patriarch of the Nakajiao tribe, Bitatu. It will certainly be said about tonight's attack, and it is already difficult to negotiate the matter of "borrowing the way". ”

But speaking of this, Wei Tianzi hesitated for a moment, and added: "In this way, you ask the Chenggao army to send 1,500 infantry and 500 cavalry to escort it." ”

"That being said. But in your majesty's heart, it seems that you still hope that the negotiation can be settled......

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Cheng knew it in his heart when he heard this, and he hugged his fists to deal with the matter.

"What else does Your Majesty command? If not, the last general will retire first. ”

Wei Tianzi thought for a moment when he heard this, and suddenly said, "You go and send someone to convey this matter to Chenggaoguan first, and then ...... Then I went to the Qingyang tribe with me, and I also remembered Yuan Li's injuries. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

And at the same time. Zhao Yuanli in Wei Tianzi's mouth has woken up from a coma.

When he woke up, he found that there were two people left in the tent: one was a woman with excellent swordsmanship and his nephew Zhao Hongrun, who was suspected of being one of the candidates for Princess Su, and the other was his niece, Princess Yulong.

I have to say that Mi Jiang's intuition is quite keen, and Zhao Yuanyan only moved his body slightly. Sitting on her knees and closing her eyes, she immediately noticed it. He opened his eyes suddenly.

Seeing this, Zhao Yuanli hurriedly raised a finger and put it to his mouth, signaling not to make a noise, after all, at this time, Princess Yulong was sleeping soundly next to a pillar supporting the tent in the tent.

Seeing Zhao Yuanling's gesture, Mi Jiang nodded expressionlessly and continued to close his eyes and recuperate.

This made Zhao Yuanyan have a good impression of this woman.

"What a good woman......

Zhao Yuanli secretly praised in his heart. He was glad that his nephew Hongrun could find such a skilled and obedient woman as Mi Jiang, and then, his eyes involuntarily looked at the sleeping Princess Yulong.

"It's like ......

Zhao Yuanyan's gaze at Princess Yulong rarely revealed a bit of warmth.

You must know that this sixth uncle was very interested in Princess Yulong before. It's never pretentious.

And at this moment, Zhao Yuanling's sect guard chief Wang Qi walked into the tent with a wooden basin full of clear water, and saw that his prince had sat up, and said happily: "Lord, are you awake?" ”

"This guy!"

Zhao Yuanyan secretly said in his heart that it was not good.

Sure enough, after hearing Wang Qi's words, Princess Yulong also woke up leisurely, rubbed her eyes, and looked at Zhao Yuanyan, the sixth uncle who was not far away before the meeting, and called happily: "Sixth uncle, are you awake?" ”

“……”

At this time, Zhao Yuanling's eyes looked at her, and he had already returned to his previous indifference, where was there any warmth at all.

He asked indifferently, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Huh?"

Princess Yulong froze, and some couldn't turn around.

You know, the sixth uncle in front of him risked his life to save her, but why, his expression is still as cold as usual?

"I ......" Princess Yulong pursed her lips and said with some grievances: "Hongrun entrusted me to take care of the sixth uncle......

"Hongrun, ah......

Zhao Yuanyan sighed secretly, and had a premonition that Zhao Hongrun would ask some things afterwards.

But his face didn't show the slightest, and he said lightly: "Well, Uncle Wang is fine, you can go." ”

"......" Princess Yulong probably didn't expect that the sixth uncle in front of her would be so indifferent to her, which was a world of difference from treating Zhao Hongrun, and couldn't help but feel aggrieved, and whispered: "Sixth uncle, you saved me, I want to take care of you here......"

"No need." Zhao Yuanli indifferently rejected Princess Yulong's kindness, and said in an emphatic tone: "I saved you just because you are the princess and my descendant, that's all." …… In addition, I never said that you can call me 'Uncle Six', you can call me 'Uncle Yiwang'. ”

"Sixth Uncle" and "Uncle Yiwang", which is close and which is far away, you will know when you hear it.

And hearing Zhao Yuanyan's indifferent words that rejected people thousands of miles away, Princess Yulong couldn't bear it anymore, she was full of grievances, and ran out of the tent crying.

Seeing this, Zhao Yuanling sighed secretly, and when he looked up, he happened to see Mi Jiang looking at him suspiciously.

Zhao Yuanyan then said: "This king doesn't need protection anymore, you can go with her." ”

As soon as he heard this, Mi Jiang felt more and more strange in his heart, after all, this King Yi, even if he talked to her as an outsider, his tone was much more polite than that of his niece Princess Yulong.

However, Mi Jiang didn't ask, after all, this is a family matter, and she has no position to ask at present.

So, she nodded, picked up the saber beside her, and chased after her.

from the side. Zhao Yuanling's sect guard Wang Qi always watched silently, until Mi Jiang also left the tent, he sighed abruptly, and said to his own prince in a persuasive tone: "Lord, why do you bother? ”

Zhao Yuanyan's eyes flashed a little unbearable and guilty, shook his head and said, "Too close to her." It's not good for her. …… With the help of Hongrun, she finally obtained the freedom that the princesses of the past generations had been asking for, and I didn't want her to be implicated by me. ”

After that, he diverted the topic and asked, "Wang Qi, did you find out about the identity of the horse thief?" ”

Wang Qi shook his head when he heard this, frowned and said, "His Royal Highness King Su has searched the dead bodies of those horse thieves, but unfortunately he has not found anything that can prove his identity. I also searched once, but found nothing. But ......"

"But what?"

I saw a little memory in Wang Qi's eyes. Hesitantly said: "I have vaguely heard the dialect used by those horse thieves, it is not like the words of my Great Wei, but a bit like ...... Koreans. ”

"Koreans?"

Zhao Yuanyan frowned when he heard this, and the fox asked, "Why did the Koreans come to attack this place?" Speaking of this, his heart moved slightly, and he frowned and asked, "You mean, these horse thieves are masterminded?" Is it a Gentiles? ”

Wang Qi shook his head, lowered his voice and said, "Actually. The lowly suspicion is that we are Wei people. ”

"I'm from Wei?" Zhao Yuanyan's face showed incredulity: "You don't want to say that it's my Wei people who hired these horse thieves." Raiding this place? ”

"Actually, this isn't the first time, Lord Wang." Wang Qi leaned closer, lowered his voice and said, "According to a certain heard, last year in Yongqiu, Xiong Fen, the envoy of the Chu State, was also attacked. led to the state of Chu going to war against our Great Wei...... There is a suspicion that the mastermind behind last year's incident and today's incident may be the same people. ”

"......" Zhao Yuanli glanced at Wang Qi and was silent.

At this time in his mind. I couldn't help but recall the scene where the horse thief who was killed by Mi Jiang shot the crossbow arrow at Princess Yulong before he died, only to feel a tightening in his chest, and a feeling of fear as if he had palpitations, which once again permeated his heart.

"Almost, almost her daughter died......

It is incredibly that Zhao Hongrun, who has always been a smiling uncle of the sixth prince in his mind, showed a gloomy and cold side at this moment, and said in a low voice and gritted his teeth: "Wang Qi, go to this king to find out who is the mastermind of the horse thief who came to attack this time!" …… This king will crush these people to ashes! ”

At this time, Zhao Yuanyan was exactly the same as Wei Tianzi, who showed his true gloomy side in front of Zhao Hongrun.

However, Wang Qi was not surprised at all, because he knew that the masterminds behind the instigation of this group of horse thieves to attack had touched the untouchable scales in the heart of their prince.

"Don't worry, the prince will definitely find out the mastermind behind this matter." Wang Qi swore an oath.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the tent, and immediately, one of Zhao Yuanyan's guards lifted the tent and reminded him: "Lord Wang, King Su is here." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yuanyan took a deep breath, returned to his previous gentle appearance, and watched Zhao Hongrun walk in from outside the tent with a smile.

"Sixth uncle, are you awake?" Zhao Hongrun asked in surprise.

"Huh." Zhao Yuanli waved his hand to signal Wang Qi to retreat and do his own thing, and then turned his eyes to Zhao Hongrun, and said with a smile: "Your sixth uncle has never seen any big battles, just a few little thieves, can you kill your sixth uncle and me?" After that, he looked Zhao Hongrun up and down a few times, and asked with a smile: "Went to escort?" ”

was exposed by the sixth uncle, Zhao Hongrun felt a little embarrassed.

After all, although he kept saying that he was dissatisfied with his father, when his father was attacked, Zhao Hongrun inevitably felt very worried, maybe this is the so-called blood is thicker than water.

"Anyway, when I came back, I saw Imperial Sister Yulong crying and running back to her tent......

Zhao Hongrun looked at Zhao Yuanyan, the sixth uncle, intentionally or unintentionally, and said in a low voice: "Is it because of Xiao Shuyan?" In fact, the sixth uncle cared about Sister Yulong very much, but he pretended to be extremely disgusted with her......"

"Here ......

For Zhao Hongrun's temptation, Zhao Yuanli had already expected it, so he was not surprised.

I saw that after he was silent for a moment, he looked at Zhao Hongrun Zhengse and said: "The affairs of the elders, as a junior, you don't have to interfere." …… If you want to ask something from the mouth of the sixth uncle, give up. ”

"......" Zhao Hongrun was a little stunned in his heart.

Because, this is the first time that Uncle Liuwang has spoken to him in such a serious tone.

No refutation! (To be continued.) )
