- "Yongshi - The Biography of Princess Jiaping"

Just when Lu Yun stared at the smile of the young man in yellow, the three horses had already passed by, and at this moment, the young man in black suddenly let out a "huh", and suddenly reined in the reins of the horse, and the black black cone horse neighed with its head up, and actually stopped its pace at that time, it can be seen that the horse is a good horse, and the riding skills of the young man in black are also very exquisite. The two riders next to them grabbed a few zhang before stopping their mounts, which shows that their riding skills are much inferior. However, the four guards who followed closely behind almost silently stopped their horses, and those people all pressed the hilt of their knives with their hands, faintly protecting the three teenagers in front.

The black-clothed young man Gao Zhi immediately pointed at Lu Yun with a horsewhip and asked, "Who are you?" Where did it come from? What to do in Chang'an? ”

Lu Yun was shocked in his heart, and he didn't know what flaws he had exposed, but after all, he was a general, and his courage was extraordinary, and he said without humility or arrogance at the moment: "Xiao Ke's surname is Yun, his name is Yunlu, he is from Southern Chu, and this time he followed the caravan to Chang'an to find relatives." ”

At this time, the two young men also rode over, Lu Yun took the opportunity to look at the three of them carefully, the three of them were all riding horses, the distance was quite far, but they didn't look carefully, now they are not more than a foot apart, Lu Yun can already clearly see the appearance and posture of the three people.

The yellow-clothed young man has not yet grown up, his face is beautiful, his snow skin is beautiful, and he should only be eleven or twelve years old if he looks closely, this is still Lu Yun's judgment based on his riding skills, after all, if a child under the age of ten has such riding skills, it is inevitably a little shocking, because this young man's skin is as delicate as clotted fat, and his demeanor is delicate and moving, that is, he is only nine or ten years old, and some people will believe it. At this moment, the young man in yellow played with the delicate whip in his hand, looking at Lu Yun for a while, and looking at the young man in black for a while, his dark eyes revealed a strong sense of curiosity.

And in front of him, he looked at the black-clothed young man with suspicious eyes, although he was aggressive, his tone was old-fashioned, and he looked like he could be the master of the house, but Lu Yun looked carefully, this young man looked quite immature, and he should be the same age as the young man in yellow, at least not older than himself, but there was a thick evil cloud between his eyebrows, which made him look a little vicissitudes, plus he was quite tall, so he looked older.

And the young man in riding a horse standing behind him was the most vigilant to Lu Yun, the young man looked sixteen or seventeen years old, his appearance was ordinary, his temperament was elegant and elegant, although the horse under the seat was precious, but the clothes on his body and the horsewhip in his hand were ordinary things, no matter how he looked at it, this young man was just an ordinary teenager, but he rode side by side with these two young men who were from extraordinary backgrounds at first sight, and his demeanor was calm, without a trace of cowardice and anxiety. Lu Yun remembered that his father once warned himself that such people were the most dangerous and they must be careful.

The black-clothed young man didn't seem to care about Lu Yun's answer, paused, and then pointed at the bow and arrow on Lu Yun's back with a horsewhip and said: "You are a good iron-tired bow, you should have the power of three stones, if you can use such a strong bow, even an eight-foot man can also participate in the military, can you really use this bow and arrow?" ”

Lu Yun's heart was wide, but it turned out that his bow and arrow attracted the attention of this young man, and he said in a deep voice: "Xiao Ke has been good at martial arts since he was a child, and his strength is quite passable, he can barely use this iron bow, and he was originally quite proud, but Xiao Ke has gone all the way, and he has seen that there are many young warriors practicing bows and arrows in the school field all over Dayong, and many people can also use such a strong bow. ”

The black-clothed young man heard Lu Yun's slightly mocking tone, suggesting that he didn't have to make a fuss, he said in his heart, since this Nanchu boy dared to carry a three-stone strong bow to defend himself, it can be seen that he must be very confident in his own strength and archery, although the young man Dayong is good at martial arts, but a warrior of this age, it is okay to use a three-stone strong bow in the school field, and it is really used for combat self-defense, but it is generally only possible to use a two-stone bow and arrow, if the Nanchu boy is congenital physique, he is not as strong as the northerners, but this young man can easily use the three-stone strong bow, It can be seen that the identity must be unusual. Thinking of this, he said coldly: "I see that your identity is unknown, it is very likely that you are a spy of Nanchu, you can go back to the house with me for interrogation, if you are really innocent, I will let you go, if you have a ghost, don't blame me for disposing of you." ”

Lu Yun was secretly frightened, but he was also an arrogant person, and said coldly: "This son is inevitably strong, although Xiao Ke is from a reckless background, he also knows what the law is, the son is young, he must not be a person in the government, why should he detain Xiao Ke, besides, Xiao Ke comes and goes to understand, Gongzi is indiscriminately charged, isn't this how Dayong treats people from other countries?" ”

The black-clothed young man raised his eyebrows and said: "You can be eloquent, but unfortunately you have found the wrong object, I am Li Lin, the king of Jiajun, why can't I ask you, do you go with me by yourself or I will let you take you back to the palace, if you dare to disobey the order and escape, this prince will send an order for the forbidden army to chase you, and then he will not be so polite to you." ”

Lu Yun was furious, and couldn't help clenching his fists, no matter what his identity was, but this black-clothed young man was going to take him back to the house without any evidence, wouldn't it be a bully, after thinking about it, he remembered that this young man's self-reported identity turned out to be a county king, although he didn't understand what his identity was, but he was undoubtedly a clan, although he was suspicious of himself, he was not sure, if he got his trust, he might have the opportunity to get close to Hou Jiangzhe of Chu County.

At this time, seeing that he was angry, but dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, the young man in yellow softened in his heart and said: "Brother Lin, forget it, he is not much older than us, how can he be a spy, don't you see the strength of the strong bow used by others, and you want to force him to stay by your side as a guard, right?" If you do anything wrong, I will go to complain to Uncle Qi Wang, even if your uncle doesn't care about you, your aunt will not let you go. ”

Lu Yun's heart moved, and when he looked up, he saw a suspicious red cloud flashing on the face of the young man in black, and he turned his face away and said, "Father and mother won't blame me, anyway, his identity is really suspicious." ”

At this time, the young man in yellow was furious, and said with one hand on his waist: "Li Lin, if you are so disobedient again, I will go to find Brother Jun and let him punish you heavily, if I didn't beg Brother Jun to let you out, you should accompany Brother Jun to study now." ”

The young man's voice was clear, although he was scolding angrily, but that kind of coquettish and touching demeanor made Lu Yun feel that his heart was fluttering, and he was so dizzy that he couldn't move his eyes anymore. At this time, Li Lin, who had been a little discouraged after listening to the young man's scolding, saw Lu Yun's obsessive look at a glance, and a ball of anger ignited in his heart, and he whipped at Lu Yun fiercely, Lu Yun was in a state of confusion, and he was completely defenseless, the whip was slammed on his shoulder, and in an instant, his clothes were torn and blood was splashed, Lu Yun screamed in pain, stretched out his hand to hold the bow arm, and glared at the young man in black. At this time, the guards stepped forward at the same time, looking at Lu Yun with a tiger's eye, Lu Yun felt a pang in his heart, and said angrily: "No matter what kind of prince and prince you are, it is too insulting. ”

Li Lin saw that his expression was angry, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy, and he couldn't help but feel that he was a little excessive, after all, his companions' appearance and temperament were all the best choices, this Nanchu young man just looked at it a few more times, why should he be angry, but Fang Cai himself didn't know how to be angry, but no matter how sorry he was, after all, his background and temperament couldn't let him easily bow his head and apologize. At this moment, when the young man in yellow saw the blood stains on Lu Yun's body, he screamed earth-shatteringly, and said, "Li Lin, you are too much, I want Uncle Qi to ban your feet." Then the young man jumped off his mount, walked to Lu Yun's side, took out a handkerchief from his arms, and said to Lu Yun: "Don't care, my brother Lin has such a temper, he has no malicious intentions." With that, he took out a bottle of wound medicine from the bag on his waist and wrapped up Lu Yun's wound.

Lu Yun was originally hesitant in his heart, and he couldn't bear to refuse, but a guard approached and said, "County Lord, let's let my subordinates help this little brother wrap up his injuries." Lu Yun's heart trembled, this young man turned out to be a little girl, no wonder she looked so delicate and delicate, and then remembered that the guard called this little girl the county lord, she must also be a member of the Dayong royal family, her heart was in chaos, I don't know whether it was panic or disappointment, Lu Yun pushed the girl in yellow away violently, and scolded: "You don't have to cry a mouse." The girl was pushed and stumbled, almost fell, she has been pampered since she was a child, how could she have been so wronged, if she didn't want to apologize for the stubborn "brother", how could she wrap up this strange boy, I didn't think that this boy was so rude, and I couldn't help but burst into tears for a while. Li Lin originally stood aside with a cold face, thinking about how to curry favor and redeem himself, but when he saw Lu Yun being so rude, he was even more angry, and pointed his whip and said, "This little thief dares to offend the county lord of Zhaohua, tie him up for me, and take him back to the mansion to punish the crime." ”

Lu Yun was also guilty that he shouldn't treat that kind-hearted girl like this, but when he heard what Li Lin said, he only felt like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, Lord Zhaohua, he knew this name. In order to assassinate Jiang Zhe, he secretly read the documents in his father's study before leaving, and knew that Jiang Zhe, the Marquis of Chu County, had a righteous daughter, named Jiang Roulan, who was very favored by the royal family and was given the title of Zhaohua County Lord, and the girl in front of him turned out to be Jiang Zhe's daughter. That is, his father's little junior sister, even if he doesn't care about the name of the teacher, this girl's father is a traitor to Nanchu, and he is the enemy he wants to assassinate, somehow, his heart is empty, and even the two guards who came to tie him up forgot to resist.

At this time, Li Lin yelled at Rou Lan again: "Look, you are so soft-hearted, this little thief is clearly a spy of Nanchu, and these people who are traveling with him are also sent to Jing Zhaoyin for me to interrogate and see if they have any problems?" ”

At this time, Song Jian and the others, who had already complained in their hearts, had no choice but to step forward and beg: "Lord Jun, we are all law-abiding businessmen, and this little brother is really not a spy, and I beg the Lord of the County for mercy and forgiveness." ”

Li Lin ignored them with a cold face, several guards looked at each other, shook their heads helplessly, and one of them took out a horn, ready to send a warning signal to summon the forbidden army patrolling nearby.

At this time, Roulan, who was originally scolded by Li Lin with tears rippling in her eyes, said loudly: "Li Lin, are you finished, if you are so nonsense again, I will no longer pay attention to you, it is obvious that you provoked others first and provoked him to be rude to me, why are you now more insulting people." ”

Li Lin was also furious, pointing at Roulan and said: "I'm angry for you, but you don't appreciate it, who are they, if you want to bother like this, it's just because they are from Southern Chu, you are so merciful, but don't forget, my brother-in-law is from Southern Chu, you are not, you are from Dayong." ”

Roulan hid her face and cried when she heard this, and said while crying: "You, you are talking nonsense, it is clear that you are unreasonable, you like to put on a shelf for the king of the county, I don't want you to do nonsense, but you scold me, woo, I will ignore you in the future." Li Lin panicked, rode the horse to block the way, opened his mouth and wanted to apologize, but everyone was watching and couldn't speak, only sweating like rain.

At this time, the young man who had been watching coldly from the side said lightly: "Don't make noise, it's not a big deal, it's not a big deal to make a child's temper here, it's not a joke." Lan'er, King Jiajun also wants to be angry with you, isn't it angry with you, don't you know the temperament of the county king, as long as there is no problem with the identity of this little brother, he will not be embarrassed by him casually, at most he will be wronged for a few days, if you don't have much to do, the county king will not be so angry. Roulan listened in a daze, and finally bowed her head and was speechless, and the anger on her face gradually faded.

The young man said to Li Lin again: "King Jiajun, Lan'er has a kind temperament, and she doesn't like to see you bully others, which is why she is a sibling, so many powerful children in Chang'an, when have you ever seen Roulan so troubled and meditated on other people's affairs." ”

After Li Lin heard this, his expression gradually softened, and he said in a low voice: "Brother Huo, it's me who is wrong, I shouldn't see Hunter Xinxi, and I am embarrassed by this person." With a wave of his hand, he let the guards release Lu Yun.

Lu Yun lightly rubbed the traces of the rope on his wrist, as if he was in a dream, at this time, the young man surnamed Huo immediately stepped forward and said: "This little brother, although it is a bit too much to be the king of Jiajun, but you are too arrogant, although it is said that people cannot be spineless, but you are alone, how can you be willful, and besides, my family Lan'er has always treated you politely, and you should not be angry with her." Here are twenty taels of silver, to give you to recuperate and suppress the shock, don't refuse, this is a courtesy, but also a favor, since you came to Chang'an to find relatives, there must be some difficulties, if there is any inconvenience, you can go to the palace of Princess Changle of Ningguo to find me, my name is Huo Cong, I am afraid that you will not be able to enter the imperial city, as long as you tell the message to the guards of the Suzaku Gate. ”

Lu Yun's mood has calmed down, although he doesn't know what kind of identity this young man is, he is so close to the county lord of Zhaohua, but he is also known to Li Lin as the king of the county, and Li Lin is also called his eldest brother, his identity is becoming more and more confusing, but since he lives in Jiang Zhe's mansion, he must have a deep relationship with the Jiang family, and he calmed down the dispute and quarrel between Li Lin and Jiang Roulan in a few words, and he is also polite and courteous to his words, if he does not have bad intentions, he will definitely be angry, as his father said, such a person is really very terrible.

He bowed down and said: "Thank you Brother Tai for his teachings, it is also Xiao Ke who does not know the world, and has offended the county prince and the county lord, and asks the three to forgive the sins, Yun will be in Chang'an for many days, if the county prince and the county lord have consulted, although it is summoned Xiao Ke, if there is a sending, Xiao Ke will be killed." ”

A ray of light flashed in the eyes of the young man surnamed Huo, and he smiled: "This is the best." At this time, Li Lin had already ridden away impatiently, Roulan followed closely, and still smiled at Lu Yun before leaving, she still had tears on her face, but this smile bloomed like a spring flower, and she could no longer see Fang Cai's unhappiness. The young man surnamed Nahuo and several guards also chased after him.

Those merchants who escaped either complained or persuaded each other, but Lu Yun didn't take it to heart, and at this moment he was thinking about how to take advantage of today's chance encounter. These people must have a close relationship with Jiang Zhe, Li Lin, the king of Najia County, is a decisive and vicious person at first sight, if he notices that he has something abnormal, I am afraid that he will imprison himself and torture him to extract a confession without waiting for the real evidence, and that Huo Cong is probably also a scheming person, not to mention the guards around Jiang Zhe, but these two teenagers have made him very vigilant, but Jiang Roulan, the lord of Zhaohua County, she is the pampered daughter of the sky, and she is so kind and innocent, she will definitely not become an obstacle to herself, Maybe it can be a help for yourself and let yourself find a good opportunity to get close to Jiang Zhe. Thinking like this in his heart, Lu Yun suddenly hated himself, when did he become such an insidious person, and he actually wanted to use that girl to assassinate her father.

Regardless of Lu Yun's self-condemnation in his heart, the three young girls quickly returned to the imperial city, Li Lin only sent Roulan to the door of the house and fled without looking back, he didn't want to see Roulan sue in front of him, just thinking of his brother-in-law's strange gaze with a smile made him feel a chill from the bottom of his heart. Speaking of which, his brother-in-law's temperament is really strange, obviously the emperor's uncle is so loving, but he would rather live in seclusion in the cold garden all the year round, and often force the emperor's uncle and father to seek him for advice, that's all, after all, it is a military matter, and he doesn't bother to pay attention to it, anyway, he doesn't need to worry about it in the future. The only thing that makes Li Lin uncomfortable is that this brother-in-law's biggest hobby is to bully his own children, Jiang Roulan and Jiang Shen, and he has enjoyed it for so many years. Now that Lan'er relies on the queen and the prince to support her, she is no longer so troubled, Jiang Shen, at a young age, she knows that she hides in Fuyun Temple and does not go home, if she always runs to her own house when she goes home, especially after her sister Li Ning is born, this kid is even more reluctant to go home. It's hateful that my brother-in-law can't bully his children, and somehow he targets himself again, every time he goes to him, he will find an excuse to tease him, this time he cried Roulan angrily, he will definitely not let go of the opportunity. Thinking of this, Li Lin wished that he had never seen this brother-in-law, and wondered how he thought that his brother-in-law was amiable in the first place, it must be because of his youth and ignorance.
