Chapter 408: An Arrow
Of course, Chen Zhixian lives in the yamen of Zhixian County, otherwise where to go, but Caidie is so excited It is obviously not an ordinary sight, sure enough, and then Caidie quickly added: "Standing." ”
When they came to Lan County, they already knew that Chen Zhi County was seriously ill, and another official had immediately taken over the post of Lan County's county magistrate. But now Caidie said that people who should have been seriously ill could stand up.
Rong Ruo leaned back, freed herself from Caidie's hands, and said, "Sick?" "Chen Dagongzi said that Chen Zhixian has been sick for a long time, and he won't get better for a while.
"The spirit is good, and I can still teach Chen Ergongzi a few words." Caidie took an apple from the plate, took a bite in his mouth and said, "But Chen Ergongzi was a little unconvinced, and his father was almost angry, but he didn't look like he was seriously ill and was about to die." ”
"That's weird." Rong Ruo couldn't figure it out, walked over to Mu Beichen's side, and bumped him with his elbow, "Since Chen Zhixian has not reached the point where he can't get out of bed, why is all the affairs in the mansion handed over to Grand Prince Chen?" ”
The black hair behind Mu Beichen was stained with rain vapor, covering a layer of lustre, his cold-colored eyebrows raised slightly, and he said with a dull expression: "The Chen Zhixian you see is free?" ”
Butterfly chewed the apple and nodded, "Hmm...... However, there is a strange saying. There was no need for Mu Beichen to ask again, Caidie continued: "Chen Zhixian told Second Prince Chen to listen to Grand Master Chen's words, otherwise be careful of his life." ”
Rong Ruo poked his two fingers together, tilted his head and said, "What do you mean?" "When I saw it today, Rong Ruo really saw from the eyes of Second Prince Chen that he was not angry in his heart, but he didn't refute Grand Master Chen in public, it turned out that Chen Zhixian confessed behind his back?
"Moreover, when Chen Zhixian mentioned the eldest son of Chen, he always called the slave family feel weird......" The apple in Caidie's hand was against her chin, and her eyebrows frowned slightly, showing a trace of confusion: "It seems to be a little afraid." ”
Rong Ruowan smiled and raised his eyebrows at Mu Beichen: "Lao Tzu is afraid of his son, there are few in the world, do you say that this Chen Dagongzi is a genius who comes out once in hundreds of years?" I'm afraid it's not a fake county. ”
"If there is a fake ...... between the two of them" Mu Beichen's calm eyes slowly condensed a touch of coldness, and said to Caidie: "Keep an eye on Grand Prince Chen and check his previous affairs." ”
Caidie took a bite of the crunchy apple, turned to the window with the soles of her feet, and before jumping out, she turned around and blinked: "Master, the slave family is not by the side of the lady, but you have to bother the master to take good care of the lady." After that, he kissed Rong Ruo with the palm of his hand and jumped directly from the window.
Rong Ruoshen thought that among all the secret guards, I was afraid that only Caidie dared to 'tease' Mu Beichen so blatantly, "But the newly appointed magistrate is about to arrive, right?" "If Grand Prince Chen really wants to do something, wouldn't it be inconvenient for Xinzhi County to take office.
Mu Beichen threw the jade in his right hand to his left hand, rubbed his two fingers, his eyelids drooped slightly, his long eyelashes projected on his face, there was a faint shadow, and he opened his mouth and said in a cold voice: "Go outside the city and stare at it." ”
Rong Ruo looked out, there was not even a ghost shadow in the rain curtain, Mu Beichen looked like talking to herself, but she knew that there must be a secret guard waiting for Mu Beichen to send at any time, how could he really only take Caidie and Feng Wu when he went out.
"See what?" Mu Beichen turned around and saw Rong Ruo with his feet on his feet, his neck stretched out like a big white goose in a funny posture.
Rong Ruo rubbed his neck and pointed outside: "When did the dark guard come over?" On the way out of Beijing, Rong Ruo was sure that only Feng Wu followed, because Feng Wu also mentioned that if he left too far, it would not be safe for the prince.
Mu Beichen stretched out his hand, pulled away the face towel on Rong Ruo's face, lingered on the uneven skin, looked up at her eyes in a sitting position and said, "Yesterday." ”
Rong Ruo nodded, the time was just right, the skin on her face screamed violently with the wind of rain, she reached out and touched it, the surface of the skin had grown, but it was difficult to restore the previous smoothness, and there were countless interlaced red bloodshots, like ugly insects, crawling all over her face.
If she didn't look in the mirror, Rong Ruo rarely cared about what this face had become, on the contrary, she often noticed that Caidie and Feng Wu looked at her face from time to time, and there was a little regret in their eyes.
"The prince is not afraid that he will not be able to eat dinner later." Rong Ruo said jokingly, pulled up the face towel that he had ripped off, and hung it behind his ear again.
When Mu Beichen got up from the collapse, he smashed the jade that he had been playing with in his hand towards Rong Ruo, Rong Ruo was almost smashed on the forehead, but fortunately, he grabbed it quickly, and muttered: "A man's heart, a needle under the sea." "Unfathomable, unfathomable.
Mu Beichen went back to the study to be busy with his affairs, but Rong Ruo picked up the jade and threw it twice, suddenly stopped and held it in his hand to look at it carefully, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and suddenly rushed to Mu Beichen's desk.
Mu Beichen raised his head, looking at Rong Ruo's dark eyes, as if there was light injected, it was the stars falling into the sea, the sky was gorgeous, his thin lips pursed a slightly cool arc, and said: "Tianji Stone, what's so exciting." ”
"Oh my God, the Heavenly Pole Stone! The Tianji Stone, which is comparable to the ten different grasses, have you ever heard of the desert rain and snow, only the legend exists! Mu Beichen, where did you get it from? Rong Ruo's eyes were bright, and he circled in place excitedly, "I just saw it in the book, but I didn't expect it to really exist, a miracle, a miracle." "The Eighth Library
Mu Beichen lowered his head and took the brush to dip it in ink, and said in a tone that was not salty or light: "Yuan Che sent it." ”
Rong Ruo sighed, when the prince's family background is thick, Tianji Stone can be casually made a piece, she saw that Mu Beichen didn't know the value of Tianji Stone at all, so she leaned over and said seriously: "Do you know how much such a small piece is worth in the capital?" It's developed, ahahaha......"
In Rong Ruo's slightly high-pitched excited voice, Mu Beichen began to pour cold water again: "It's just a small piece." The piece in Mu Yuanche's hand was about the size of a fist, and now Rong Ruo was only one-fifth the size of that one.
The corners of Rong Ruo's mouth twitched, look at this fluttering tone, this man is laughing at her for not seeing the world?
"Why give it to me?" After Rong Ruo calmed down, he held a small piece of Tianji Stone and looked left and right, looking very cautious, which was in obvious contrast to Mu Beichen's casual tossing just now.
Mu Beichen dropped the first word, his head was lowered, his body sat straight, his fingers held the brush, slender and powerful, the shaped font was also elegant and handsome, and it was as cold and imposing as his temperament, and he said without raising his head: "The Tianji Stone can repair all wounds." ”
Rong Ruo was stunned, and somehow, he felt that the Tianji Stone in his hand was also a little hot, and he said, "You asked Yuan Che to send it?" ”
"Or else?" Mu Beichen's indifferent voice was very light by the windwiper, but it still penetrated into Rong Ruo's heart.
Rong Ruo bit her lower lip with her teeth, although the Tianji Stone is a holy product in medicine, but what she has in it is a bone erosion poison, not an ordinary external injury, she doesn't know what effect the Tianji Stone can have, and the words on her lips almost want to come out, but in the end she didn't say anything.
When he turned around, Rong Ruo hooked his lips and lowered his eyes: "Thank you, Mu Beichen." ”
Rong Ruo walked out for a long time before Mu Beichen put down the brush, looked up in the direction of the door, and then continued to bow his head to write the letter.
Outside Lan County, when the heavy rain fell, Chu Feng and the sugar pill returned to the carriage.
Chu Feng sat on the edge of the carriage and stretched out his hand, holding an arrow in his palm.
"You steal ......" As soon as the two words of Sugar Pill came out, Chu Feng covered her mouth and looked outward, Sugar Pill's eyes widened, "Hmm, hmm, hmm...... "Stinky bastard, old man, don't let her go."
Chu Feng signaled her a silent gesture, let go of her and said, "You be careful and scream again, and call the thin bamboo pole to point the acupoint later." ”
Sugar Pill pursed his lips, finally lowered his voice, and said, "Old man, what did you steal just now?" ”
Chu Feng pressed the thing with two fingers and put it in the window, and then in the sky outside, he could clearly see a little dark red blood on the arrow.
"yes, you're disgusting, isn't that the thing on a dead man?" Sugar Pill leaned over, looked at it for a long time, felt that it was not interesting, and continued to roll on the floor, the hateful thin bamboo pole actually dared to give her a threadworm, is it bullying her will not solve, hum!
The crescent moon found a dead man outside, and she shouldn't have made a fuss, after all, there were many bandits nearby, and it was not for nothing that she was unlucky enough to encounter robbers and murders, but to her surprise, that person had only met yesterday - the middle-aged man drinking tea in the pergola.
The crescent moon saw that the person was killed by an arrow, and she saw that it was an arrow from the Central Plains, so she asked Chu Feng to go down to identify and see if the murderer could be identified from the arrow, not that the crescent moon cared much about a person who met in Pingshui, but that she was afraid that they would encounter the same trouble.
Chu Feng looked at it at that time and said to the crescent moon: "Ordinary arrows are much the same, unless you can get his bow, because arrows are sent out, especially when killing people, if you want to make a mark, don't you wait for others to catch you?" For most bows, people have their favorite symbols to indicate their belongings. ”
The crescent moon checked around the neighborhood and found nothing, it was just about to rain, so I decided to get into the carriage and go to Lanxian first, after going out of Lanxian tomorrow, I will go south for two more days, and it will be the boundary of southern Xinjiang.
In the pouring rain, the carriage walked extremely slowly, Chu Feng changed his posture and sat with his legs bent, the dull arrow reflected a bloody light in his dark black eyes.
Of course, Chu Feng didn't tell the truth, although the arrows are similar, there are still essential differences, not only in terms of material, but also in shape. For example, the triangular arrows used in folk hunting and the prismatic barbs specially cast by the government are very different in terms of lethality against the enemy.
"Old man, it's just a broken arrow, you have been watching it for a long time, what is there to see." The sugar pills had already rolled several times, and Chu Feng was still staring at the arrow in a daze.
