Xu Han said that he was going to pull out the arrow, turned around again, tore off a large piece of the white cotton underwear, tore it into strips with his teeth, and put it aside for later use.

Over there, Bai Zhuo was leading people to fight against the enemy, and he was originally going to come over, but when he saw Xu Han helping Xiao Zheng treat his wounds, somehow, he actually dispelled the idea of coming over, and just concentrated on fighting the enemy with other guards.

From time to time, cold arrows were shot down on the mountain, and Xu Han sat on the edge of the cliff without being disturbed at all.

The white cloth was spread on the ground, and she was afraid that the hole would burn out when she burned her hair, so she grabbed her hair with her hands, quickly burned it into a ball, and waited until the last bit of spark was extinguished before carefully putting it on the white cloth.

She knelt beside Xiao Zheng, leaned over and cut through her blood-stained clothes with a knife, not wanting Xiao Zheng's fingers to put on her hand, her eyes drooped, looking at her lying on her body.

"It's finally come true, you're finally lying on me." His face was pale and hoarse from excessive blood loss, but he was teasing.

In Jin Wuwei, in Qixinglou, Xu Han was ashamed to say that he wanted him to sing backyard flowers, and he was a little depressed in his heart.

After so many temptations, he knew that although Xu Han was slender, she had an Adam's apple, and he didn't have the Huo Han he was looking for.

They shouldn't be the same person, but Xu Han has a lot of things that make him suspect, she is Huo Shiniang.

Sometimes when he thinks about it, he feels whimsical.

When he went to the place where Huo Shiniang lived, there was a lot of blood on the bed, and the house was in a mess, as if he had fled and had no time to take anything away, and he even saw a jade pendant with a missing corner on the side of the bed.

He remembered that the jade pendant was carved by the seventh master of the Huo family, and Shi Niang was hanging on his waist at that time, and he had seen it.

It was a cold day.

There was so much blood on the ground, much more than he shed today, and I don't know how Eleven Niang could stand it.

He saw the blood on the ground, the leader Sen Sen, holding the jade pendant and leaving in despair, but when he returned home, he found that the jade pendant was gone.

Later, he was ill for more than half a month, and after he recovered, he went to Shi Niang's small courtyard, which had become a ruin, and the Huo family's originally forbidden old mansion was raided.

He felt that everything was like a dream, as if it had never happened, and the Huo family had become the object of everyone's forbidden talk.

Xu Han was checking the wound, but fortunately the arrow was just an ordinary arrow, and there was no barb, otherwise, she really didn't dare to pull it out.

was thinking about how to keep him from hurting, so he might as well come to such a sentence, he wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh, just pulled the corners of his mouth, and saw that he looked in a trance, so he gritted his teeth and pulled out the arrow.

Xiao Zheng snorted in pain.

After the arrow was pulled out, blood kept spilling from the wound, and Xu Han couldn't think of anything else at all.

"It's nothing, just stop the bleeding."

Xu Han didn't know if she was saying it to Xiao Zheng or herself, but in her heart, there was panic, trembling, and even some distress.

She folded the white cloth that had been torn off and not dismantled into strips of cloth over the wound, cleaned up the blood a little, and sprinkled the powdered hair ash on it, and at the same time sprinkled the rest of the wound medicine on it.

Xiao Zheng was able to endure it at first, and his breath became heavier and heavier.

After Xu Han sprinkled the wound medicine, she wrapped the wound with a strip of cloth, she took Xiao Zheng into her arms, and untied the other half of his clothes, and actually felt a short knife inside, she put it on the side casually, and began to tighten the bandage vigorously.

She didn't pay attention to Xiao Zheng's pain, she felt his smooth skin layer by layer around the bandage, and finally the bandage no longer oozes blood, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

If there is no blood oozing, that is, the bleeding has stopped, and if there is no blood collapse, there is no danger to life.

Only then did she go to see Xiao Zheng, he clenched his teeth, his facial muscles bulged, his eyebrows were frowning, his neck was stiff, his muscles were straight, his face was pale, and he was enduring the pain and not letting himself make a sound.

The ghost sent the gods, Xu Han raised his hand and stroked his eyebrows, "It hurts!"

Xiao Zheng's body tensed, looking at Xu Han, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, suppressing the pain in his body, and trying to adjust his breathing.

"Eleven Niang, I found you."

Xu Han was stunned for a moment, and recovered after a while, "I don't understand the words of the prince. ”

Xiao Zheng's body was still throbbing, and he was leaning on Xu Han's thigh at the moment, he moved his hand and looked at Xu Han leisurely,

"It's okay if you don't understand, there are a lot of things I don't understand. But I don't care. ”

Xu Han, "......" She took a deep breath and spit it out gently, "Shizi, what do you mean?" ”

She grabbed the small dagger that she took out of his chest on the side, and the hilt of the sword was engraved with intricate patterns, "A prince who is known as the biggest gentleman in the capital, has mediocre martial arts, and has nothing to do all day, and actually hides a short dagger on his chest. ”

"If this matter is known to someone with a heart, I don't know what conjecture will be made."

For example, the third prince and the fifth prince brothers who have been eyeing Xiao Zheng all the time.

Xu Han looked at Xiao Zheng with a smile and a cunning look in his eyes.

Xiao Zheng stared at Xu Han deadly, she wanted to use such a rhetorical question to change the topic and dream.

He held back the irritability in his heart, and the pain in his body, and asked, "Don't you know what I mean?" ”

"You're always good at acting in front of me, do you think I'm still as easy to deceive as I used to?"

Xu Han saw that she couldn't dodge, so she simply faced it, she rudely removed Xiao Zheng from her thigh, put it on the ground, looked down at Xiao Zheng, looked at him, and mocked,

"I really don't know what Shizi means, I don't know who you're looking for, or if Shizi has always regarded me as the person you're looking for."

Xiao Zheng said lightly, "Xu Han, don't pretend to me, why is Wangcai so affectionate to you, and why do you know about Eleven Niang?"

Did you really meet Eleven Niang, and then she told you? ”

"Eleven Niang is not such a reckless person, even if she dies, she will retain a little sobriety, and she will never tell you those things."

"Also, you are just an outsider, why do you pay so much attention to the affairs of the Huo family? How many people seem to be poisonous in the Huo family, avoiding it, but you are facing the difficulties. ”

"You are Huo Shi Niang."

Xiao Zheng's questioning made Xu Han's heart turn back and forth, and his face was indifferent.

What do you mean? Huo Shiniang told me what was strange, we had met before. ”

"She's going to die, what's so strange about entrusting my niece to me?"

"Isn't it too arbitrary for the prince to conclude that I am her based on these things?"

Xiao Zheng looked at Xu Han steadily, "Heh, even if I will admit my mistake, Wangcai will never admit his first master!" ”

Xu Han turned his gaze to the fierce grappling over there, but it was just a short distance, as if it was two worlds.

It's just that the two worlds are tense, she smiled, disappreciating,

"Shizi, you keep saying that I am the person you are looking for, what you are looking for is Huo Shiniang, then I only ask you one thing, how old was you when you first met me, and how old I was back then."

Without waiting for Xiao Zheng to answer, she continued,

"I'm eighteen this year, Huo Shiniang should be in her twenties this year, right?"

"How could I be the one you're looking for?"

She pointed to her neck, "Huo Shiniang is a woman, but I am a man, but I have an Adam's apple like Shizi, and there are other places, about the same." ”

Her eyes swept over his lower body.

Her expression was too frank, which made Xiao Zheng pause, but soon, he said calmly,

"What if it's a man or a woman? Anyway, as long as you live, I don't care. ”

Xu Han blinked, she meant that her age and gender did not match Xiao Zheng's Huo Shiyi Niang, what did Xiao Zheng mean when he replied that the bull's head was not the horse's mouth?

Xiao Zheng looked at Xu Han with a smile in his eyes that was three points serious and seven points ridiculous.

"Anyway, I've been waiting for this world all these years, and there is no difference between men and women for me."

Xu Han couldn't help blushing when he reacted, and glared at Xiao Zheng angrily,

"Xiao Shizi, don't think that you can be so shameless and indecent if you sacrificed your life to save me today."

Xiao Zheng raised his eyebrows, "This Shizi just said that there is no difference between men and women for me, in fact, this Shizi has never despised women, or do you think that women are inferior to men, little prince?" Should he be a vassal of a man? Can't be good brothers with men? ”

Xu Han's eyes narrowed slightly, then he smiled coldly, his hand rose and fell, and pressed it Xiao Zheng's wound, making him take a breath of cold air.

She smiled fakely, "I'm sorry, my hand is a little heavier, and your wound is bleeding again, probably because you have something bad in your head." ”

Xiao Zheng waited for the pain to subside, and his voice was extremely soft, "Do you know what the emperor means by knowing that there is a problem with the letter and making a decree to let you take over as the king of Zhenbei?" ”

He reminded again, "Also, why did you let you be the commander of Jin Wuwei?" ”

Xu Han suppressed the doubts in his heart, and said funny, "Shizi, what is the problem, it is clearly my father's excerpt, you should have heard that day, he was unwell, so he stepped down from the position of the prince." ”

"As for Jin Wuwei's promotion, didn't the prince make a push and let me go up?"

She tilted her head and looked at Xiao Zheng with disgust.

Xiao Zheng thought for a moment before he said,

"Since I can ask, I must know the inside story, don't worry, except for me, no one knows that the twist is from Princess Xu."

"These two things are actually one thing, the Zhenbei Wangfu is the same as the Huo family back then, and the merit is high."

"It's just that the emperor can't do anything, if he wants to be a Ming Jun, he can't punish the Xu family, so he can only divide from within you."

"It just so happens that your father prefers your brother Xu Zhao, and since you were crowned the son of the world, the emperor has begun to lay out."

"Let you be the son of the world, provoke the anger of your father and Xu Zhao against you, let you enter the Jinwuwei, and finally, not long ago, find an opportunity for you to be promoted.

In the drowsiness, you handed another pillow to your house, and your mother asked you to be crowned the prince in the name of your father. ”

"These are all in the emperor's arms, and they will be done with a boat."

"In other mansions, if the family wants to change, even if it is an excerpt, the emperor will call the person concerned to ask him in person."

"Then why don't you have one?"

Xu Han didn't listen to what he said, and his words of high merit entered her ears, as if it was thunder, and her eyes were black.

Behind the affairs of the Huo family, is there also the emperor's handiwork?

Just because the Huo family is a master!

If so, then how innocent are the people of the Huo family?

Since she can remember, the ancestral teachings of the Huo family have been lingering in her ears, and it can be said that everyone in the Huo family, regardless of men and women, is loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and protects the safety of the people as their own responsibility.

Zhenbei Wangfu also has such a family motto, not to do things that endanger the Eastern Yuan Dynasty.

Regardless of the Huo family, the Xu family thought that they thought so, and others must have done the same, and the royal family was even more.

Not to mention the Huo family, the name engraved on the ancestral hall tablet of the Xu family, how many people died in the northern Xinjiang, and how many died in peace and old age.

In this way, the emperor did so many things behind his back in order to divide the Xu family.

On the other hand, the Huo family's prestige in the army and its reputation in the hearts of the people will only be higher than that of the Xu family, and in the emperor's heart, doesn't he want to get rid of it faster?

Xu Han's nails were deeply pinched into her palms, but she didn't feel any pain, she just felt a little dazed.

After the Huo family was destroyed, she still thought simply that it was probably the political enemies of the Huo family, or the black hands of those enemy countries who were beaten by the Huo family.

The direction she checked had always been like this, and she never thought that the high emperor might also be involved in it.

"What else do you know?" Xu Han interrupted Xiao Zheng indifferently, her voice tinged with vigilance and hostility that she had not even noticed.

Xiao Zheng was silent for a moment, and his eyes fell on the masked assassins who had retreated in the distance.

"Today's interception, if I hadn't come, then you would definitely not have survived."

"What will happen to your house once you die? Your mother's concubine was born in the Xu Wangfu of Shudi, and she doesn't need me to say that you should know. ”

"Will she watch your father and brother take over the throne in peace? And Xu Wangfu, will you not support your mother? ”

"Once you're dead, there's going to be a bloody showdown in the Zhenbei Palace."

Xu Han heard Xiao Zheng's meaning, and suddenly raised his head, "You mean that today's interception is the emperor's handiwork?" ”

Xiao Zheng muttered, "This is just speculation, and there is no evidence. The reason why I am telling you this is because I know that you have some connections with the Huo family. ”

"I just asked you if you went out of the city, who in your house knows."

Xu Han couldn't help frowning when she heard this, she initially guessed that it was the order of the king of Zhenbei, because everything was so coincidental that she had to be suspicious, so when Xiao Zheng asked, she was a little displeased.

Anyway, in the family affairs of Zhenbei Wangfu, she didn't want outsiders to come in.

She lowered her eyes, no matter what happened today, whether it was the hands of the people in the palace or the hands of the royal family.

Even if she hits a stone with an egg, she will make those people pay for their blood.

She hid the indifferent killing intent in her eyes.

Xiao Zheng had been watching Xu Han all the time, so he noticed Xu Han's change in mood as soon as he could, he was very smart and didn't ask a word.

At this time, two figures rushed over there, it was Xu Mian and Wei Ting, the two of them supported each other, and their faces and clothes were soaked with blood.

They didn't care about Xiao Zheng lying on the ground, but asked Xu Han nervously, "Lord Wang, are you okay?" ”

Xu Han moved his arm, and then he remembered that he was also an injured person, and he paid too much attention to Xiao Zheng just now, and he didn't feel any pain.

"I'm fine." She took care of the two of them, "Why are you ......?"

She looked at Xiao Zheng's guards, and the assassin was the last one left, and she shouted, "Keep your mouth alive." ”

But it was too late, and before the Xiao family's guards could be killed, the assassin had already fallen, and it seemed that he was a dead soldier, and when he saw that he had no hope of escaping, he committed suicide.

Bai Zhuo glanced back at Xu Han, then at Xiao Zheng on the ground, called two guards who were less injured, pointed to the hillside, motioned for them to go up and have a look, and then rushed to Xiao Zheng's side.

"Damn it!"

Bai Zhuo and several people rushed over, knelt in front of Xiao Zheng and pleaded guilty, their faces were ashamed, and they hated to commit suicide immediately to apologize.

Xu Han didn't care what Xiao Zheng did, but took Xu Mian and Wei Ting to the corpses of those assassins, and asked them what was going on over there while checking them.

After Xu Han was frightened and left, Xu Mian and Wei Ting wanted to chase after them, but they were surrounded by several masked people.

They didn't kill the two of them, they only stopped but didn't attack, they were probably delaying time.

Xu Mian's kung fu was not very high, Wei Ting not only wanted to fight his way, but also had to protect Xu Mian, so he was stuck there for a while.

Can they come over, or will the other party evacuate first.

Xu Han checked the corpses, and everyone was clean, there were no markers, and there were no objects on their bodies that could identify them.

Even the weapons are just the kind that can be seen at any time in the blacksmith.

Xu Han was not discouraged and did not let go of any detail.

She wrote down all the places where she might have been found, even the cloth on the corpses, and cut a piece and brought it back to be investigated.

What if there is a clue?

After they checked, the people sent by Bai Zhuo to check on the situation on the mountain also returned.

"It's getting dark, and there's not a trace of anything left on the mountain. Shizi, do you want your subordinates to come back tomorrow to check? ”

Xiao Zheng glanced at Xu Han and shook his head, "No, after a night's time, there will definitely be nothing, so you don't need to work hard." ”

"You find a way to bring these corpses back, and ...... another"

He looked at Xu Han and smiled,

"Little prince, our horses have been frightened away, and your carriage has overturned and cannot be used.

I don't know if the little prince can carry me back to the city? ”

Xu Mian took a step forward and said respectfully, "Shizi, the prince of our family is also injured in his hand, why don't you carry you for the prince of my family, can you?" ”

Wei Ting was bandaging the wound on his arm, and when Xu Han saw this, he stepped forward to help.

Xiao Zheng squinted his eyes, and when Bai Zhuo, his guard on the side, saw this, and replaced Xu Han without a trace, helped Wei Ting bandage it, and said in his mouth,

"Brother Ah Mian, my prince was injured for the sake of your prince, and he is also a lifesaver."

"Besides, the prince of our family, not everyone can touch it."

The implication is that Xu Mian wants to carry Xiao Zheng, which is not qualified.

Xu Han was amused, stepped forward and motioned for Xiao Zheng's guards to help him up, squatted down slightly, and motioned for Xiao Zheng to come up.

Xiao Zheng was tall, carrying him on his back, his legs were still dragging on the ground, and he took two steps, Xu Han said,

"Are you sure you want to go all the way back to the city like this?"

A low chuckle rang in her ears, his breath exhaled and blew on her neck, he moved his hands, hugged her tightly with his hands, and his voice was hoarse,

"Xu Han, this son doesn't dislike it, you dare to put me down and try it!"

Xu Han didn't think about it at all, how could this person still look very sober and willful.

He pressed it to her back, didn't the wound hurt?

She grabbed his thigh, and really wanted to pinch it hard, just like last time, ruining the happiness of his wife for the rest of her life.

……

The newly appointed prince of the dynasty, as well as the most favored prince of the Guogong Mansion, were attacked outside the city, and the capital shook the mountains.

The emperor was furious and ordered Jin Wuwei and the Soldiers and Horses Division to strictly investigate who dared to commit murder outside the capital.

Is this worth it?

If you dare to commit murder outside the city today, you will dare to enter the city tomorrow to kill people, and the day after tomorrow, will you go to the Jinluan Palace in the imperial city?

How can the emperor not be afraid? How can you bear it?

For a time, everyone in the capital was in danger and accepted the strict investigation of Jin Wuwei and the Soldiers and Horses.

In the Cheng'en Mansion, the window is only open a crack, the pearl is hanging high, and the candlestick is shining brightly, as bright as day.

On the huge bed behind the screen, the curtain was half hung, and Xiao Zheng sat with his long hair and shawl, leaning on a soft cushion.

He was only loyal and resolute, and his pale face was bloodless.

The imperial doctor was helping him change the dressing, "Fortunately, this wound was treated in time, and there will be no aftermath in the future. ”

Xiao Zheng lowered his eyes, let him move, and remained motionless.

On one side sat an old woman in her sixties, dressed in a Moran robe, with a simple hairpin ring on her head, and a wipe around her forehead, and a ruby shining on her head.

"You kid, you said you went hunting, why did you come back like this, you heard the sound of fighting, won't you hide far away?"

"You have to have three long and two short, so what will grandmother do? How do you go to meet your parents? ”

In the eyes of outsiders, the eldest princess Shuyang, who supports today's top position and has a resolute personality, is an old lady who cares about her grandchildren at this moment.

The handkerchief in her hand was wrinkled by her grasp, her lips were pursed, and her face was sad.

In an instant, she said again, "What kind of person dares to hurt my grandson, and if he is not found, even the Nine Clans can't vent the anger in my heart." ”

Duchess Chengen, who was standing behind the eldest princess of Shuyang, covered the smile on her lips with a handkerchief, she was really happy!

The only pity is why those thieves didn't kill Xiao Zheng!

Thinking of her son Xiao Fengzhen, who was still lying on the bed, Duchess Chengen felt that Xiao Zheng's injury was too light, too light.

Obviously, her husband is the grandfather of the country, but her mother-in-law is eccentric, and she wants to give the position of the son to Xiao Zheng, a wild seed!

She didn't understand why her mother-in-law, who had always had a resolute personality and couldn't tolerate sand in her eyes, would tolerate Xiao Zheng's wild seed.

Or is it that they are royals anyway, and they don't care about the green hat on their heads.

She pretended to press the corner of her eyes and echoed the eldest princess's words, "Speaking of which, these thieves are really bold, I heard that the little prince of Zhenbei was also injured, and I heard that thanks to her, Ah Zheng can save his life?" ”

"Ah Zheng, you must not be willful in the future, just at home, go out or bring more talents, today almost something happened."

Hearing that it was thanks to Xu Han, the eldest princess of Shuyang had a gloomy face, glanced at Duchess Chengen, turned her head and instructed the princess to go to the princess,

"Go, you go to the Zhenbei Wangfu to have a look, let people see if the little prince of Zhenbei can still stand, let her come over."

After speaking, she said to Duchess Cheng'en, "You go out, Ah Zheng must be clean here, what are you doing here, how can you rest?" ”

Duchess Cheng'en almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, if she didn't come today, tomorrow this mother-in-law would be able to call her over and reprimand, saying that she didn't care about her nephew!

She saluted the eldest princess and retreated with the people.

When everyone retreated, the eldest princess of Shuyang sat on the edge of the bed, hugged Xiao Zheng, and tears fell down her eyes.

"You stupid boy, how many people seek medical treatment everywhere in order to live, and how many people even live is a luxury."

"Grandmother is indulging you like this, why do you say you want to block that arrow!"

"How can you be so stupid? Grandmother is old, you don't care if I can stand it or not? I've sent back the white-haired man, do you want me to send it again? ”

"That Huo Shi Niang, what's so good! If she's dead, is she going to take you away? ”

"Ah Zheng, grandmother pulled you up, not for you to live or die for a woman."

Xiao Zheng Ren eldest princess hugged herself, let her beat herself lightly, for a long time, before she said 'um',

"I was born with nowhere and nowhere to go, and it's so boring."
