The early morning sun is projected on the lotus pond, and the green lotus leaves on the pond surface are more and more verdant under the sunlight.

Pink lotus flowers are dotted in the greenery, and with the wind blowing, they gently sway in the lotus pond, and small ripples appear around the gently swaying stalks.

A frog squatted on the lotus leaf, agitated its mouth, and was stunned for a while, before kicking its hind legs violently, jumping into the lotus pond, making a "poof" sound of water, stirring up a small wave, and then kicking its two thick hind legs, swimming towards another lotus leaf.

Standing on the edge of the pond, Liu Wei's eyes were cast on the lotus pond with deep greenery, with a look of unfazed water on his face, no matter who looked at his expression, he couldn't guess what he was thinking in his heart at this time.

Guan Qing stood behind Liu Bian, her hand pressed on the hilt of the sword, but her beautiful eyes were not just looking at the lotus pond like Liu Bian, her eyes were wandering around, observing the sentry of the Jizhou army near the small courtyard.

"Don't look at it!" Looking at the lotus leaves that were spread out in the pond like a futon, Liu Wei didn't reply, and said to Guan Qing behind him in a voice that almost only Guan Qing and himself could hear: "This king has already observed, and all I can see is a clear whistle......

"Your Royal Highness......" Hearing Liu Wei say this, Guan Qing's heart was cold, and he was still looking forward to escaping from Yuyang's thoughts, and was completely extinguished by Liu Bian's head with a basin of cold water.

"All I'm thinking about now is why did the Assassin kill you?" Looking at the pond, the corners of Liu Wei's eyes twitched slightly, and he said to Guan Qing: "Maybe someone thinks you are too in the way and wants to get rid of you first......

At this point, Liu Wei stopped talking and didn't say what he was going to say later.

And Guan Qing, who was standing behind him, seemed to understand something, lowered his head, and sighed softly, and that sigh was full of helplessness and loss.

At the same time, Yuyang was in prison.

Gongsun Chan received a report early in the morning that the prison had been attacked, and that all the guards and prisoners guarding the prison had been killed. In addition, there were more than a dozen corpses of people in black left in the prison, but Dong Niang, who was sent to the prison the day before, was missing.

The corpses were placed in three rows on the floor of the cell, and Gongsun Chan first led the people around the courtyard and cells of the prison before coming to the corpses placed in the courtyard.

"In my father's opinion, who did this?" Standing behind Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Xu whispered to Gongsun Zhan: "Why did someone want to rob the criminal?" ”

"It's complicated!" Looking at the corpses of the officers and soldiers on the ground, Gongsun Chan whispered to Gongsun Xu: "The officers and soldiers who were killed were all killed by sharp blades whose throats were cut open, and I think they were killed by the first person who lurked into the prison. ”

Then he pointed to the corpses of the row of prisoners, and said to Gongsun Xu: "The corpses of the prisoners were first twisted off their necks, and then stabbed into the throat with a long sword. ”

After listening to Gongsun Zhan's analysis, Gongsun couldn't help nodding his head, and said peacefully: "Father is discerning, the child is dull, and he really can't see so clearly." ”

In fact, what Gongsun Chan said, Gongsun Xu had already seen that echoing Gongsun Chan was just to curry favor.

Standing in front of Gongsun Xu, Gongsun Chan first nodded, then stroked the beard on his chin with one hand, twisted his brows slightly, and said as if talking to himself: "But these people in black ...... The wounds on their bodies are not all on the neck, but they are all fatal with a single sword, and the people who kill them are so superb in swordsmanship......"

Gongsun Zhan didn't recognize this group of people in black, but Gongsun Xu did. The female corpse that was placed in the corpse of the man in black was the Gui girl who had spoken to Gongsun Xu the night before.

However, Gongsun Xu did not immediately inform Gongsun Chan of this situation, but whispered to him: "The prisoner has been rescued, and my father probably has to act as soon as possible, otherwise this matter will reach the ears of King Hongnong......"

At the mention of Liu Wei, Gongsun Zhan's body was shocked, and he hurriedly said to Gongsun Xu: "The construction of the altar must be stepped up, and it must be supported by King Hongnong to ascend the throne first." In addition, the Guan Qing next to King Hongnong ......"

"The child understands!" Without waiting for Gongsun Chan to finish speaking, Gongsun Xu responded with a fist clenched, turned around and left the prison.

The backyard of the former General's Palace.

Since he got up, Liu Wei has been standing by the lotus pond, as if this lotus pond has endless beauty, which makes him linger and can't bear to leave.

Not far away, the clear spring flowing out of the crack in the stone made a "whooshing" sound of water, and kept pouring the spring water into the lotus pond.

Listening to the sound of the clear spring and looking at the calm lotus pond on the water, Liu Wei's eyes suddenly opened, turned his head to look at Guan Qing, and asked Guan Qing: "Miss Guan can swim?" ”

"I've learned a little bit about water, but I'm not very proficient in it." Liu Wei suddenly asked if she could swim in the water, Guan Qing was stunned for a moment, first answered, and then asked Liu Wei: "Why did Your Highness ask so much?" ”

"It's a hot summer, and this king feels very hot!" Knowing that Guan Qing could swim, Liu Wei smiled slightly and said to Guan Qing: "This king wants to swim in this lotus pond, if Guan girl also swims in the water, just go down to the lotus pond with this king." ”

As he spoke, he had already untied his clothes, and in an instant, he had taken off his cleanliness.

People in the late Han Dynasty wore clothes, not like people would wear underwear two thousand years later. Removing the small clothes inside, the body is completely exposed.

Liu Wei suddenly stripped off all his clothes, standing naked in front of Guan Qing, Guan Qing, who had never had a man in such a situation in front of her, suddenly blushed with shame, hurriedly raised his hand to cover his eyes, and said to Liu Wei with a red face: "Your Highness, why is it like this, quickly put on your clothes......

As soon as her words fell, the sound of "poof" splashing water had already reached her ears, and when she let go of her hands and looked at the lotus pond, where was Liu Wei's figure, and on the water surface of the lotus pond, there were only ripples that were rippling.

Liu Wei suddenly jumped into the water, and the Jizhou army, who was monitoring him and Guan Qing nearby, was so frightened that they couldn't hide their figures, and they all ran out and rushed to the lotus pond.

"Miss Guan, why is that?" An officer of the Jizhou Army first glanced at the pond where Liu Wei disappeared, and then pointed to the pond that was still rippling and asked Guan Qing, "Why did Your Highness jump into the pond......

"The weather is hot and dry, and this king swims in this pond, so why don't you have to ask?" Before Guan Qing, who was also confused, could answer the officer's words, Liu Wei, who had jumped into the pond, came out of the water and shouted at the group of Jizhou soldiers on the shore.

Hearing Liu Wei's shouts from the pond, a group of Jizhou soldiers relaxed their hearts, and the leading officer clasped his fists with both hands and said loudly to Liu Wei floating on the water in the distance: "We are waiting for the safety of His Royal Highness......

"Don't say more!" Liu Wei, who was swimming in the water, waved his arm and waved his hand at the Jizhou army on the shore, and shouted at them: "You wait and go to your own business, don't delay this king to play in the water!" ”

A group of Jizhou soldiers glanced at each other, and the officer waved his hand at everyone, and everyone dispersed.

Turning his head to look at the scattered Jizhou army, Guan Qing's delicate little brows tightened. Liu Wei just jumped into the pond, and more than 100 soldiers of the Jizhou army jumped out from everywhere to surround the pond.

These are just the Jizhou troops that ran out, and they didn't run out of the ambush in the shadows, and I don't know how many there were. At this time, Guan Qing had some understanding of Liu Wei coming to the former general's mansion, but he never refused to take the risk of escaping.

When all the Jizhou troops surrounding the pond withdrew, Liu Wei, who had already swam far away, plunged into the water.

Guan Qing on the shore only saw ripples on the water in the distance, where could he still see Liu Wei's figure.

Ripples rippled on the surface of the pond in circles, one wave weaker than the other, and gradually the water surface returned to calm.

Standing by the pond, looking at the direction where the ripples disappeared, Guan Qing clenched his fists tightly. From the time Liu Wei dived into the water continuously, she seemed to feel something faintly, but she couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was.

Just as she was looking at the place where Liu Wei had just disappeared and was waiting nervously, Liu Wei suddenly came out of the water on the other side, waved at Guan Qing, and shouted loudly: "Miss Guan, the water is so refreshing, do you want to come down and swim?" ”

Hearing Liu Bian's shout, thinking that he had taken off all his clothes before going into the water, and entered the water naked, his face was suddenly red with shame, and he glanced at Liu Bian, who was showing his head on the water in the distance, and did not respond to his shout.

shouted, and without waiting for Guan Qing to respond, Liu Wei plunged into the water again.

Standing on the shore, seeing Liu Bian piercing several fierce sons in a row, Guan Qing suddenly thought that this was a lotus pond, and the bottom of the water must be a lotus root stem, and when Liu Bian emerged from the water again, she put her hands to her mouth, expanded into a trumpet shape, and shouted to Liu Bian: "Your Highness, there are many lotus roots in the pond, be careful when swimming!" ”

Liu Wei on the water raised an arm, waved it at her from a distance, and then got into the water again.

The Jizhou soldiers who were hiding in the dark and monitoring Liu Wei opened their eyes one by one, looking at Liu Bi who was swimming in the pond, and they all thought that Liu Bi was just going to the water to cool off because the weather was too hot.

After more than a dozen rounds of churning in the pond, Liu Wei finally swam back towards the shore where Guan Qing was.

When he reached the shore, when his body gradually emerged from the pool, Guan Qing clearly saw that on his chest and arms, there were marks of broken lotus roots.

Tiny blood stains covered his chest and arms, which looked very dazzling, but Liu Wei seemed to be unaware of it, and left the pond and walked to the shore.

When Liu Wei's lower body gradually left the water and appeared in front of Guan Qing's eyes, Guan Qing hurriedly turned around, covered his eyes with both hands, and didn't dare to look at him more.

"It's so refreshing in the water!" On the shore, Liu Wei said to Guan Qing a little casually while wearing his clothes: "If Miss Guan is inconvenient to enter the water during the day, it is the same if she comes to swim at night. ”
