Chapter 1: An Unexpected Encounter

Last night, I suddenly found that the situation of the new book monthly ticket list was critical, I couldn't sleep, and I got up and coded again, and I gave you a surprise today, and everyone can also give Lao Gao a surprise!

．．．．．．．．

In the outer room of Yang Zhao's ward, Yang Yuanqing sat with several "guard" leaders, waiting for the doctor to check them out.

On the small table in front of them, there was a copper plate, and two poisoned arrows were placed in the plate, and the feathers of the arrows were made of the finest wild duck "feathers", very neatly trimmed, and under the light, the tips of the arrows flashed with a brilliant green light.

Yang Yuanqing stared at the poisoned arrow, but the figure of the "female" assassin appeared in his mind, that feeling was really familiar, Yang Yuanqing couldn't believe it, and he didn't want to think too much, he closed his eyes and shook his head, shaking off the figure of the "female" assassin in his mind.

He 'touched' the cold 'jade' bow that Aratu gave him from his arms, and touched the tip of the arrow, and the 'jade' bow that was originally crystal white and 'colored' also became the same boiling as the tip of the arrow, which was indeed highly poisonous.

"Brother Yu, do you think this could be done by King Qi?" Xue Wanche, one of the Xue brothers, asked.

Yu Qingsi shook his head, "It's possible, but I can't tell, what does Yuan Qing think?" ”

Yu Qingsi glanced at Yang Yuanqing, and he found that Yang Yuanqing was a little distracted.

"King Qi has a thirty-percent chance!"

Yang Yuanqing has recovered from his distraction, and his thoughts have returned to this assassination, although King Qi is the biggest suspect, judging from King Qi's performance today, Yang Yuanqing thinks that it is unlikely that he is "sexual".

But it cannot be ruled out that today's performance of King Qi is a deliberate disguise, in order to get rid of suspicion, if King Qi has a master under him, he may use this strategy, but from King Qi's recent performance, he should not have this kind of strategy master, rather than assassinating and seizing the heir, it is better to fight for the throne politically, so he thinks that the possibility of King Qi is only 30%.

"It may also be a scheming person who instigated the infighting between the two princes."

Yu Qingsi nodded, in fact, he also thought that the possibility of being the King of Qi was not very "sexual", he followed the King of Jin every day, he knew that the King of Qi had many opportunities to kill the King of Jin, compared to this kind of assassination last night, the King of Qi actually had a better chance.

"It's just that His Highness doesn't allow us to publicize this matter, how can we 'hand' over to the Holy Lord?"

This is what Yu Qingsi is most worried about, the king of Jin was assassinated and did not report it, and he Yu Qingsi was guilty of bullying the king.

At this time, the doctor came out of the room, the doctor's surname was Zhao, he was the imperial doctor in the palace, and he was in charge of the body of King Jin, and everyone hurriedly surrounded him, "How is Your Highness?" ”

Although King Jin escaped assassination, his face was still scratched a little skin, and he later fainted, which was a poisoned arrow, which made everyone very worried.

Imperial Doctor Zhao smiled and said, "I have already checked, His Highness is not poisoned, the injury on his face is scratched by the edge of the table, and there is a little sawdust." ”

"But he fainted."

"Alas! He fainted because he was too fat, and he would faint if he was too nervous, and now he is better. ”

Imperial Doctor Zhao sighed, and said to Yang Yuanqing again: "Your Highness, please come in!" ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Yang Yuanqing nodded to the others, and walked into the inner room quickly.

The room was filled with a strong smell of "medicine", Yang Zhao, the king of Jin, was lying on a large "bed" couch, his "complexion" had completely returned to normal, he was not wearing clothes, only covered with a thin quilt of "bed", and his wife Princess Liu sat next to him.

Seeing Yang Yuanqing come in, Princess Liu hurriedly got up and gave a deep salute, "Thank you General Yang for saving King Jin's life!" ”

Yang Yuanqing hurriedly returned the salute, "Don't dare to be humble!" ”

Yang Zhao smiled and waved his hand, "Don't thank him, princess, if the arrow shoots him, I will also push him." ”

Princess Liu turned her head and glared at her husband, how could she speak to her benefactor like this, but Yang Zhao didn't mind and smiled, "I'm a little hungry, you 'get' a bowl of bird's nest for me, put less sugar, and add three red dates." ”

Yang Yuanqing couldn't help laughing, he found that Yang Zhao's prince was pretending, but in fact, he was a "very" easy and interesting person in his bones.

Princess Liu knew that her husband was taking her own way, so she turned around and went down, and as soon as his wife left, Yang Zhao immediately said: "This assassination is definitely not done by King Qi." ”

"But Your Highness, whether it was done by King Qi or not, this is an opportunity." Yang Yuanqing reminded him.

Yang Zhao was silent for a long time and shook his head, "He is my brother, if it wasn't for him, I can't wronged him, I don't want him to repeat the mistakes of a few uncles." ”

"What if King Qi's subordinates did it without permission?" Yang Yuanqing said unhurriedly.

Yang Zhao still shook his head, "Although this is possible, what happened tonight has made him hopeless of winning the East Palace, and that's enough, I don't want him to be imprisoned by his father for life because of the assassination." ”

Yang Yuanqing sighed secretly, how could this King of Jin drop the chain at a critical time, he still wanted to persuade again, but King Jin had already yawned tiredly, and Yang Yuanqing's heart became tired, and he suddenly felt very disappointed in King Jin.

Since King Jin resolutely refused to admit that it was his brother who wanted to assassinate him, Yang Yuanqing didn't want to say anything, in fact, he didn't want to care about the fight between their brothers, if it wasn't for King Qi's repeated harm to him, he wouldn't have dealt with King Qi, and at this time Yang Yuanqing didn't want to do anything more.

He asked again, "Then how does Your Highness plan to deal with the aftermath?" ”

"I don't want to alarm my father about this."

Yang Yuanqing nodded, "Okay then!" We have strengthened our escort forces. ”

"The strength of the guard is not a big problem, but I lack a counselor's staff, can you recommend a few competent people for me?"

Yang Yuanqing groaned and said, "I recommend a person to His Highness, named Li Mi, does His Highness know about this person?" ”

"Pushan County Prince, I know that he was originally a 'guard' in the palace, but now he is studying behind closed doors."

Yang Yuanqing actually wanted to recommend Li Jing, but Li Jing is now his grandfather's staff, and his grandfather may not be willing to let him go, and more importantly, King Jin disappointed him, and he didn't want to recommend Li Jing to him, so he recommended Li Mi instead.

"Your Highness might as well talk to him, and use him if you think it's good."

"Alright! I'll give it a try. ”

．．．．．．．．．．

Early the next morning, Yang Yuanqing returned to Yang's mansion, and his carry-on horse bag was left in Yang's mansion, which contained gifts for his aunt and Niuniu.

He did not go through the main "gate" into the Yang Mansion, at this time, except for the Yang Mansion officials of the previous dynasty, the rest of the Yang Mansion family members were basically concentrated in the front yard and the middle courtyard, Yang Yuanqing entered the Yang Mansion from the west "gate", he did not alarm anyone, took the horse bag directly from his room, and left the Yang Mansion from the west "gate".

The West Outer Courtyard is where he has lived for seven years, and it is also the first time Yang Yuanqing came here after he came back, the West Outer Courtyard is very quiet, most of the people's "doors" are closed, and now it is the day of harvesting and settling accounts after the autumn, Yang Su has more than 100 hectares of fertile land in the Guanzhong area, and most of the clansmen go to the manor to help.

Yang Yuanqing walked through the small courtyard where he lived, the collapsed kitchen had been renovated, and the two main houses had also been renovated, but it seemed that no one lived in it, and the items piled up in the yard were the same as seven years ago, the stove used by the aunt, the wooden barrel for washing clothes, and the big dustpan for Niuniu to practice swords, all piled up in the corner of the wall, covered with dust.

The apricot trees in the yard have grown beyond the roof, but the traces on the trunk are still there, which were left by the knife marks left by him when he practiced a knife technique when he was a child.

These things tugged at Yang Yuanqing's heartstrings, making his heart full of memories of the past, Yang Yuanqing sighed, and was about to leave, suddenly, out of his aunt's room came out of a young "girl" in a red dress, and the red "colored" striped dress was extremely dazzling in the sun.

She combed her double-ringed moon-looking bun, her skin was as white as 'jade', and that incomparably familiar feeling made Yang Yuanqing stunned like a lightning strike.

"Brother Yuanqing!" The young girl also saw him and cried out in surprise.

"Niuniu, is that you?" Yang Yuanqing seemed to be in a dream, he couldn't believe what he saw, the young "girl" in the courtyard was the sister he thought about day and night, and his niuniu was back!

Niuniu threw away the basin in her hand, rushed out of the small courtyard like a gust of wind, and threw herself into his arms, like a deer who had worked so hard to find her relatives.

The tears in Yang Yuanqing's eyes couldn't help but flow out, he stroked Niuniu's braids, and the ecstasy, "agitation" and an indescribable emotion in his heart filled his heart.

He slowly held Niuniu's shoulders and looked down at her, her Niuniu grew up and grew into a beautiful young girl, slender and tall, only half a head shorter than him, with autumn water in her eyes, clear eyes, the bridge of her nose like "jade", and the tip of her nose slightly upturned, with the mischievous well-behaved way she was when she was a child.

Niuniu was embarrassed by him, so she raised her hand and punched him on the shoulder, and her starry eyes said with slight disgust: "Dead bull head, you forgot me and my mother!" ”

"Nope!"

Yang Yuanqing wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, shook his head and smiled: "When did I forget you, I looked for you as soon as I came back, but you disappeared, so I went to He Ruo's house to settle accounts." ”

Niuniu smiled and glanced at him, "I heard about He Ruo's family on the road, and I thought to myself, could it be that Brother Yuanqing came back to avenge us, sure enough, um!" You've got a bit of a conscience. ”

Niuniu is still wearing a double-ring moon-looking bun, which is a sign that the young "girl" is not married, and Yang Yuanqing is even more happy in his heart, "Let's go to the courtyard to talk!" ”

He took Niuniu's hand and walked into the yard, Niuniu's face suddenly turned red, and she secretly "pulled" her "jade" hand from his hand, she pointed to the hut where Yang Yuanqing lived, "I want to go in and have a look, but the 'door' is locked, do you have the key?" ”

"Nope!"

Yang Yuanqing suddenly remembered something important, and hurriedly asked, "Niuniu, what about Auntie, are you back with you?" ”

Niuniu shook her head, "My mother is very busy now, she can't leave, I came back with my aunt and grandmother, and I only arrived in the capital yesterday morning." ”

"What is Auntie busy with now? And who is your aunt and grandmother? ”

Niuniu pulled him to sit down on the stone mill, she sighed lowly, "A lot of things have happened over the years, I will tell you slowly in the future, my mother is now in Hengshan Nanhua Palace, where many orphans have been adopted, there are hundreds of people, the palace people can't take care of them, my mother is to help, the owner of Nanhua Palace is my aunt and grandmother, my mother's little aunt, and our only relative in our hometown, she is not an ordinary person, she used to be the queen mother of the Chen Dynasty." ”

"What kind of place is Nanhua Palace?"

Yang Yuanqing frowned, he felt like an orphanage, but it didn't seem to be, and his aunt was actually in Hengshan, how could he find it?

"Nanhua Palace was originally called Hengfu Palace, it was a palace used by the emperor of the Chen Dynasty to repair in Hengshan for summer vacation, after the fall of the Chen Dynasty, it became a place for my aunt and grandmother to cultivate Buddhism and retreat, my aunt and grandmother had compassion and adopted a lot of orphans of the ministers and generals of the Chen Dynasty, in the past four years, I have been studying art there, my master is called "flower" lotus monk, and it used to be my aunt's grandmother's "servant" and "daughter".

"And then?" Yang Yuanqing was quite interested in this.

"I'll tell you later, let's say something glad, um! Brother Yuanqing, did you bring any gifts? ”

"Of course there are gifts!"

Yang Yuanqing took the horse bag from his feet and said with a smile: "Look at what good things I brought you?" ”

"Okay! Let me see. ”

Niuniu clapped her hands with joy, she snatched the horse bag from Yang Yuanqing's hand, turned around and put it on the grinding plate, Yang Yuanqing found that there was a white "jade" whisk behind her, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, "Niuniu, what are you doing with the dust?" ”

"This is my master's dust, her beloved thing, I begged from her old man with a dead face."

Niuniu grinned, and winked at Yuan Qing again, a sly smile flashed in her eyes, "Didn't you give me the nickname 'Red Whisk 'Girl' in the past?" I just remembered. ”
