Zhu Qiming walked out of the tent and looked up at the shadow of the sun, expecting that the hour had reached the beginning of the day.

Ma Shun stepped on the horse's back and rushed to this side to give a fist salute, and behind him, the lieutenants were packing their bags and preparing to leave the camp.

Calculate the time, it's time for the horse to come back to deliver the decree! Ma Shun has a mission, and seeing that everything will fall into place, he looks around excitedly from time to time, looking full of ambition.

"Report!"

As soon as he rode a fast horse at a gallop, the corner of his mouth was grinned, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

Zhu Qiming waved his hand calmly and beckoned Ma Li, "After Jinyiwei leaves, you take someone to change your outfit and make a detour back to Beijing." ”

Marley nodded in agreement.

The fast horse was already approaching, "Commander, the emperor ordered the Long Xiang Guard to be stationed in the area of Zhuolu Mountain to strictly prevent war and chaos here; Jin Yiwei returned to Beijing as soon as possible, and he could not ······ Nothing to provoke! ”

Ma Shun was shocked, his smile suddenly froze on his face, and his blank gaze swept over Zhu Qiming and Ma Li. After a moment, he realized his abruptness and waved his men to mount.

"Your Excellency, Ma took his leave. Drive! ”

There was a cry in the field. Seeing thousands of brocade guards walking farther and farther, Zhu Qiming stepped onto the white horse, and Ma Li immediately led 90 Zhuang guests to bow down and stand on the side of the road to say goodbye.

"Drive!"

Zhu Qiming led the horse to the north, looking at the mountains and forests in the distance, and several flags of Long Xiangwei could be faintly seen. He turned into the south side of the mountain road, galloped all the way onto a barren high slope, looked up, and only after making sure that no one was following him around him, did he ride back down the slope and gallop towards the hidden "paradise".

When he came to the entrance, he heard a soft sound nearby, and needless to say, it must be the person guarding the entrance who wanted to step forward to stop him, but he secretly recognized his appearance, so he hurriedly hid down, so he made some movement.

The crisp sound of hooves sounded all the way, attracting only a hurried glance from the ten guards at the col, and everywhere else, he seemed to gallop through the deserted mountains, and never a single figure was seen again.

The pigeon's whistle swept through the ears, and the pigeons reflected in the sun, revealing a peaceful atmosphere. The stone wall had already entered the field of vision, and a low roar sounded, and the stone wall slowly opened.

He took off his mask, lowered his horse's speed, and slowly galloped into the gate, where he saw Yanluo and Pang Zhe waiting there, and there was no third person around except for the two.

He turned over and dismounted, unsheathed his sword, removed his armor, and threw it on the road.

"Why did Your Highness spend the night in the mountains?" Yan Luo approached and saluted, and said worriedly: "Could it be that the situation is different?" ”

Zhu Qiming turned his head to look at Pang Zhe, "The person who came is not the stand-in of King Yu, but the King of Yu himself, Xiao Wang can only persuade King Yu to sneak back to Beijing secretly, after King Yu hides, this king wants to perfunctory Jinyi Wei, it is inconvenient to let the stand-in after him show his true face, so he returns late." However, since it's a game, it doesn't hurt to play as much as you want. ”

Pang Zhe shook his head again and again, "King Yu was anxious to see His Highness, and he did not hesitate to risk his life, and almost made a big mistake!" It seems that His Highness has taken care of this matter thoroughly, but fortunately, His Highness is thoughtful, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

Zhu Qiming smiled indifferently, "Whether it is intentional or unintentional, it is really a smart move for King Yu to come to Zhuolu Mountain in person." Just imagine, how can a stand-in easily hide the eyes and ears of Dongchang and Jinyiwei? After all, the fake show has to be real! ”

Pang Zhe was stunned, and then nodded frequently, "It's also a hundred secrets down there, and I forgot about this layer." His face was pale, "Don't hide it from Your Highness, there are people secretly answering from all over the capital, and it is not difficult for King Yu to quietly return to the palace, but if the eyes and ears who are staring at the palace see the clues, they will eventually leave trouble." ”

Zhu Qiming pondered for a moment, "This matter is not so worrying. After King Yu left Beijing, those ears and eyes will be slack, and they will no longer be interested in the movements of King Yu's mansion, besides, many people in Beijing are waiting to see a good show, if there is a strange feeling, I am afraid that the news will have already reached the ears of the Son of Heaven, how can those people hide anything for King Yu? Now the emperor ordered Jinyiwei to return to Beijing as soon as possible, saying that he must not stir up trouble without incident, which shows that the whereabouts of King Yu when he returned to his house were not seen. ”

Yan Luo's face widened, and she waved her hand to summon two servants, ordering them to take away the white horse and take away the armor and long sword by the way.

"There is His Royal Highness King Laoyue. The slaves and maids set up a banquet at noon to receive the wind and wash the dust for His Royal Highness. ”

Zhu Qiming waved his hand, "No need, this king will go back to Hangweiju for dinner." After he is done with the affairs of the king, it is time to be busy with the king's own affairs. ”

"Your Highness wants to find Miss Lu's whereabouts?" Yanluo moved to Zhu Qiming's side, "How many people does Your Highness want to bring?" The slave and maid immediately ordered to go down, there is no shortage of manpower here. ”

"It's not very convenient to bring people, thousands of soldiers of Long Xiangwei are stationed in Zhuolu Mountain, let them get a glimpse of the clues here, I'm afraid it will stir up a shocking turmoil! This king walks alone, compared to the thieves in the mountains have already escaped, if in danger, this king can ask Long Xiangwei for help at any time, they must have obeyed the emperor's secret order, and will never ignore the strange feelings of Zhuolu Mountain! ”

Dropping these words, Zhu Qiming turned around and walked towards the trail.

"Long Xiangwei arrived at Zhuolu Mountain? It seems that the emperor is worried about chaos here, so he has this order! Pang Zhe sighed lightly, stroked his beard and stared at him.

Yan Luo chased a few steps, and then stopped, "Eh, Your Highness, the slave maid thinks that the white horse, armor, mask, and long sword are still useful to Your Highness, and Your Highness can't show your true face until the last resort!" ”

The emperor knows in his heart, and it is purely superfluous to hide people's eyes and ears! Zhu Qiming sighed disappreciatively, and said lightly: "This king will take it after lunch." ”

Returning to the door of Hang Weiju along the path, the two grandmothers heard the footsteps, came out and poked their heads, bowed to Zhu Qiming from afar, and then went into the kitchen to get busy.

Push the door to enter the hospital, the courtyard is full of flowers and fragrant. Zhu Qiming roamed along the stone path, after experiencing yesterday's rush, he felt comfortable and inexplicably sad at the moment.

Inadvertently turned his head to look east, and saw a butterfly-shaped kite floating in the air, and the wings of the "butterfly" swayed up and down in the wind, which made him suddenly think of a scene from the past.

The figure flickered, and I saw Shuang'er smiling and coming to the low wall, "Childe is back?" Eh, what about Childe's armor? ”

"Take it off."

"It turns out that the son is a distinguished guest of Mrs. Ru!" Shuang'er held the low wall with his hand, and his smile revealed a deep meaning, "Eh, Childe, my young lady is skillful, or else, the slave maid will go to tell the young lady, lie that it is the slave maid who wants it, and beg her to embroider a sachet, and the slave and maid will give it to the childe, so that the son can see her embroidery art." ”

Zhu Qiming was silent, and slowly took out the jade pendant under his neck, which was covered with a delicate vein, which was embroidered by Lu Xiyao when he was in the palace courtyard.

"Can she embroider such a vein?"

Shuang'er's eyes widened in surprise, "This line is from the hand of Gongzi's mother?" ”

Zhu Qiming shook his head.

"That's the embroidery of the maid and grandmother next to the son!"

Zhu Qiming shook his head again.

"Could it be that the son has a favorite woman······"

Shuang'er stopped talking, looked at Zhu Qiming in surprise, a trace of anger gradually appeared on his face, and after a while, he turned around and left, glanced back, and two words flashed in his complaining eyes: liar!

Shuang'er walked away, and Zhu Qiming chose a stone bench to sit down. The kite in the air began to slope, and it was clear that the flyer was quickly reeling in the line.

The breeze sent a wisp of floral fragrance, faint, only for a short moment, if there is nothing when it comes, it disappears when it is gone.
