Xiaoxiao glanced back at him and smiled: "Are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine...... phew! I'm sorry, but I didn't target you, I had snow in my mouth, and I just spit it out. Hehe" He was not injured because of the soft snow, but his head and mouth were full of snow, and he quickly spit it out, and he was afraid that Xiaoxiao would misunderstand, so he quickly explained a few words. "Why are you here?" he asked. ”

"I came out to enjoy the snow, and I happened to meet you racehorses, and I saw these two men wearing white cloaks as cover, and sneakily burying stumbling horses in the snow in the direction of your racehorses. I guess they have some conspiracy, and sure enough, they let go of the Tibetan woman, but they tripped you up, and they really have a conspiracy against you. I'll restrain them for you, and I'll ask them what the hell is going on. Why deal with you ......"

As soon as he finished speaking, the assassin not far away with a broken blade suddenly slashed his neck, and the blood on his neck gushed out like a spring, and soon stained a large area of snow under his body. The other Assassin with a severed hand fired a Hidden Arrow into his throat, causing both of them to fall to the ground, convulsing twice and not moving.

Because the two kept retreating before, Xiaoxiao was not worried about them escaping, so she didn't catch up, but she didn't expect that they would commit suicide, and there was no warning, and the speed was very fast, and it was already far away when she started, Xiaoxiao didn't have time to stop it, not only shouted "Oops!" He leaped over and found that the two of them had lost their breath.

Lu Jinping struggled to move over the snow-covered ground, and found that the two were dead, and Xiaoxiao was searching. However, no clues were found on the two assassins.

At this time, Yunzi, who ran to the front, turned around and found that something was wrong here, and immediately turned the horse's head and rushed back. And Ye Qingqing and others, who were slowly following behind, also found out. Horses rode over, and came closer.

They were shocked to find two corpses on the ground with blades, a fan-shaped blood mark, and Xiaoxiao. After listening to what Lu Jinping said, he was even more afraid. Especially Ye Qingqing, who asked Lu Jinping if he was injured. and blamed himself for not protecting the lord well.

Lu Jinping beckoned Xiaoxiao to the side and whispered to himself.

After the two walked aside, Lu Jinping said in a low voice: "Do you remember something?" About your background and what you want to ask me about. ”

Xiaoxiao's willow eyebrows frowned slightly. Shaking his head with a wry smile, he said, "No, I still haven't remembered anything." ”

Lu Jinping was very disappointed, but he was still relieved: "Don't worry, take your time." He asked in a low voice. You wouldn't be so lucky to meet them to disadvantage me, would you? If it's a coincidence, why not greet us? You can see that you are secretly stalking me and protecting me, right? ”

Xiao Xiaowan smiled and said, "You are smart." Then he frowned and said, "But, why am I secretly tracking and protecting you, I don't know, it seems that who made me do this, but I can't remember who it is......"

Lu Jinping saw that she was racking her brains and reminiscing, and wanted to say that it would be forgotten. can remember that he was attacked by the assassin just now, it was really dangerous, and it seems that his speculation is right. You are in great danger and you must find out as soon as possible who is not doing anything to you. So you can't let her be lazy.

Lu Jinping had such a plan, but Xiaoxiao did not continue to think about it as he wished. Obviously, this matter has been bothering her for a long time in the past few days, and she thinks about it again and again, and she doesn't want to worry about it anymore. Xiaoxiao raised her hands. He breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "It's actually good that I can't remember it, it's carefree." I'm very happy now, but if I really know what mission I have shouldered, I'm afraid I won't be so happy. ”

"That's right, it's just that since you have a mission, the person who gave you the mission shouldn't let you go away for too long, maybe they will come to you soon, maybe you can find your background by following this line. By the way, will you still secretly protect me in the future? ”

Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "That's not for sure, everything is fate, because I can't think of why I want to protect you, so I have no reason to protect you all the time, you still have to be careful yourself, don't expect me, I can't be by your side all the time, this time it's a coincidence, really." Okay, I'm leaving. Take care of yourself! ”

With that, Xiaoxiao whistled, and behind the hill in the distance turned a silver-white horse, the hornet galloped very fast, and in a blink of an eye it was close to the front.

Xiaoxiao was about to turn over and get on the horse, Lu Jinping said, "By the way, there is something I want to ask you for a favor." ”

Xiaoxiao turned around and looked at him suspiciously, Lu Jinping took out a piece of paper from his arms, stepped forward and handed it to him, and said: "This is a murder weapon involved in a case I am solving, the shape is very strange, you are well-informed, can you help me see what kind of weapon this is, where it is made, is it possible to find its owner?" ”

Xiaoxiao took the piece of paper, took a closer look at the dagger with jagged teeth on its back, pondered for a moment, shook her head and said, "This dagger is really strange, I haven't seen it, I can't help you, I'm sorry." ”

Lu Jinbin was a little disappointed, took the drawing from his hand, and said, "It's okay, your memory has not been restored, beware of others knowing and calculating you." ”

"Don't worry, if I were so stupid, I wouldn't have come out to walk the rivers and lakes."

"That's what I said, I'm too worried, so take care."

Xiaoxiao turned over on the horse, smiled at him and said, "There will be a period later." "Whip up the horse and whip it and gallop away towards the snowfield. Soon it was gone.

"She's gone, what are you looking at stupidly?" There was a muttering voice in the ears of Yunzi who was full of unhappiness.

Lu Jinping looked back at her and saw that she was smiling at herself. He smiled and said, "I was thinking that I was lucky that she showed up in time to save my life, and I was grateful, but unfortunately she still didn't remember who she was?" ”

Speaking of this, Yunzi also felt lucky. Because she proposed to come hunting, but she met an assassin, if Lu Jinping really had something to lose, he was a seven-rank official of the Yamen and a lord, then Yunzi couldn't get out of it, and he couldn't help but be afraid for a while. He smiled reluctantly and said, "I don't know why these two assassins want to assassinate you." ”

Lu Jinping suspects that it has something to do with his background. But of course he wouldn't say it, so he said, "I'm also strange, I haven't offended anyone." How could you poison me? ”

Yunzi looked at him and said, "The dagger you just asked the woman in white to ask her to help identify it, she can't help you, maybe I can help you." ”

Lu Jinping was overjoyed and said, "Do you know this dagger? ”

Yunzi stretched out his hand and said, "You show me that picture again, I only saw a rough picture just now, and it looks familiar." ”

Lu Jinping hurriedly handed over the portrait. Yunzi took it and looked at it for a moment, nodded and said, "That's right." I know where this dagger came from, and I can help you. ”

"Great, so whose do you say this dagger belongs to?"

"I don't dare to say whose it is, but. I can tell you where to find its owner. ”

"Great, tell me."

Yunzi grinned proudly and said, "Then I can't tell you in vain, if I tell you and help you solve the case, how will you repay me?" ”

Lu Jinping almost blurted out a joke like "promise by body", but the words stopped abruptly. This is not a modern society, this is the Tang Dynasty, even if the other party is a woman from Tubo with a straightforward personality, if you say so casually. Maybe we're going to get into some kind of trouble. Hurriedly laughed and said, "It's no problem if you want me to repay you." ”

"Alright, then I'll tell you what I want in return." Yunzi put his hands behind his back and walked up to him. Turning his head to look at Ye Qingqing, he saw that she had a straight face, her face was very ugly, and she showed a smug smile on her face, and deliberately pasted it, almost touching her cheek to Lu Jinping's face. Then he whispered in his ear and said, "Find a time, I'll go out with you alone." If you don't take your little girl, just the two of us, okay? ”

Lu Jinping said: "Why not? That's not a reward. ”

"I think so!" Yun Zi raised his eyebrows, "Let's just say it?" ”

Lu Jinping nodded: "Once the word is spoken, the horse is difficult to chase!" ”

"Great, then let me tell you, this dagger is a special weapon used by our Tubo Luowo people, Luowo is located in the south of Tubo, there are many primeval forests, ancient trees are towering, thorns and vines are thick, the local people go into the mountains to hunt, because the trees are too dense, it is inconvenient to use a long knife, so this short knife is generally used, and this blade is too short and too light after all, and it is not powerful to cut branches, so it is added to the back with a sawtooth, which can be directly used to saw branches, build a shack or something."

Lu Jinping suddenly realized, nodded frequently and said: "I see, it is indeed inconvenient to use a long knife in the jungle, and it is ingenious and practical to use this short-bladed band-sawtooth, so where should I find the owner of this dagger?" Are there any other Tibetans in the same state besides you? ”

"There are very few Tubo people in Tongzhou, mainly concentrated in the capital, but I know that a few people came to Tongzhou a few days ago, and they happened to be Luowo people from Tubo. It's the people who use this kind of knife. I met with them the other day, and they were going to see if there were any suitable local businessmen in the same state to do business together. Because they don't understand the words of Datang. They were in a house in the southern city, there were about seven or eight people, a total of two families. I can take you to them. Since this dagger is involved in a murder case and involves us in Tibet, I can't stand idly by, so I'll take you there. ”

Lu Jinping was greatly moved when he heard this, and he clenched his fists and said, "Thank you girl for not showing favoritism, and she will not be short." ”

Yunzi snorted and said, "They killed people and set fires and still want me to protect them?" I can't wait to arrest these people and behead them! And how can they be maintained? Of course, I also hope that the lord must find out, and only with real evidence can he conclude that it was we Tubo people who did it. ”

"Please rest assured that I will definitely find sufficient evidence, but from the current point of view, the owner of this knife is not necessarily the murderer, because it is possible that someone else used his knife, so it cannot be concluded that the owner of the knife is the murderer until other evidence is obtained."

Yun Zi said: "I think so too, so I remind you to find out, don't wronged them, after all, Luowo is also a part of our Tubo." ”

As soon as he said this, he heard a whining cry. Lu Jinping looked up, but it was Ye Qingqing.

Lu Jinping hurriedly walked in front of her and looked down at her: "You little girl, why are you crying?" ”

"It's all my fault, I should have been with you just now, but I, I ......, anyway, no matter what time in the future, I will follow you! Don't leave a single step! ”

As soon as I heard this. Lu Jinping remembered the agreement with Yunzi just now, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at her. happened to meet Yunzi's gaze, and he seemed to be smiling. As if waiting for his answer.

Lu Jinping raised his voice and said to Ye Qingqing: "Are you crying about this?" Really, you are my maid and not my shadow, if you must follow me all the time, you don't bother me and I feel tired. ”

"What about these two men who were going to murder you? You don't know martial arts, I'm not by your side, so what if there is a mistake? ”

"Don't worry. They didn't mean to kill me, if I'm right. They must have tried to capture me alive. ”

"Oh, how so."

"Quite simply, they were in ambush on our way to the race, and it was just me and Yunzi. Yunzi ran away again, I was actually left alone, both of them are very good at martial arts, if they want to kill me, they don't need to trip me with a tripping rope at all, they can kill me with a sword. They tripped me over me with a tripwire, trying to catch me alive, of course. ”

Ye Qingqing felt that it made sense, nodded and said, "Although this is the case, it is also dangerously tight. It's all my fault that I shouldn't have been so far away from you. "Speaking of which. He whined and cried again.

Lu Jinping knew that he had to distract her attention at this time so that he wouldn't think about it anymore, so he lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "I don't know where these two assassins came from?" They must have been ordered to arrest me. Who wants to see me? What do you want to ask me? Unfortunately, both men committed suicide and died. ”

As soon as he heard Lu Qingping mention this, Ye Qingqing also helped to think about it, and then forgot what happened just now. Ye Qingqing said: "Sir, do you want to find a yamen painter to draw the portraits of these two people, and then visit everywhere." See if anyone can recognize who they really are. ”

Lu Jinping said: "You can't find anything like that." Assassins come on such a mission, and surely not many people will know their identity. This kind of visit has no effect, but will startle the snake. ”

Ye Qingqing blushed when she heard this, and said, "Then what should I do?" ”

"I'm going to extract something that I can test so I can confirm their identity in the future, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I can figure out who it is."

Lu Jinping said to Yunzi again: "Please send a few warriors to dig a pit and bury the body." I always feel that this is not done by ordinary people, so it is better not to let others know about it at the moment. ”

Yunzi nodded in agreement and instructed the samurai to begin sweeping away the snow and digging a pit to bury the body.

Lu Jinping took mucosal swabs from the mouths of the two corpses and smeared their blood on their palms, extracting their palm prints and fingerprints.

The Tibetan warriors dug up the hard earth and dug a pit and buried the two bodies on the spot.

Lu Jinping had already gotten important clues, and of course he didn't want to delay any longer, so the group immediately turned around and went back.

After returning to Tongzhou, Lu Jinping followed Yunzi to the place where the Tubo Luowo people lived in Nancheng.

He didn't call Xiong Zhutou and others to come, because, there is no further evidence to lock the other party as the murderer, and it involves the Tubo people, and the two sides are turning the conflict into jade silk, so it is better to be more cautious at this time, or to find out. Besides, if it is really the Tubo people who committed a crime, Chang'an and Tubo are thousands of miles away, if they abscond in fear of crime, there are countless passes in Tubo, and it is still easy to arrest them.

Yun Vulture already knew that Lu Jinping was coming here to investigate the case, so he took the initiative to step forward and knock on the door.

The door soon opened, and the people inside probed out, and saw that it was the two Yunzi brothers and sisters, who were overjoyed, nodding their heads busily, and at the same time chattering in Tubo dialect, judging from their divine beasts, they were very respectful to Yunzi and the two.

Yunzi also spoke in Tubo dialect, and then said to Lu Jinping: "Sir, please come in, let's go inside and ask them in detail." Rest assured, with me, the lord is absolutely safe. ”

Lu Jinping smiled, walked in, and came to the flower hall. Yunzi had already told the other party about Lu Jinping's intention, so soon seven or eight people in the courtyard of the house gathered in the flower hall, including men, women and children, and they were two families. Looking at Lu Jinping, he looked a little nervous and overwhelmed.

Lu Jinping took out the portrait of the dagger and said, "Have you ever seen the dagger on this?" ”

These people obviously didn't know much Chinese, so they looked at Lu Jinping in confusion.

After Yunzi translated, the three men all pulled out the daggers they were carrying, held them in both hands, turned the handle upside down and handed it to Lu Jinping. Lu Jinping took it and looked at it, and there were indeed serrations on the back, and the shape was the same as the one above, but the length did not match the width of the blade.

Yunzi was right, this kind of dagger was only worn by the Luowo people in Tibet.

Lu Jinping noticed that there were a total of four adult men on the other side, three of them took out daggers, and the remaining man did not take out his saber, so he looked at him and said, "Where is your knife?" ”

Yunzi made a translation from it. The man spread his hands and said, "Lost." ”

"Lost? Where did you leave it? ”

"I don't know, if I do, I'll get it back."

Lu Jinping said: "You have a good recall, when did you lose your dagger?" Where to throw it? Who might take it? This is very important, please help us. ”

Yun Zi translated a lot of traffic for the merchant. She translated much more than what Lu Jinping said. Obviously, Yunzi is teaching the other party a lesson, asking the other party to provide truthful information and help the master of the Tang Yamen to investigate and handle the case.

When Yunzi finished speaking, the merchant thought for a moment and said, "I guess it was taken by a woman, but I have no evidence. And this dagger is not very valuable, so I didn't report it to the official. ”

"Woman, that's gone? What kind of woman. ”

"I don't know."

Lu Jinping said: "You tell me what happened in detail. (To be continued)
