Chapter 290: Traces Leaked

Xiao Wenxuan fell off his horse with an arrow in his heart and fell into the turbulent river. Li Feng and Fang Ping jumped into the water to look around.

Seeing that it was dark, but Xiao Wenxuan was nowhere to be seen, Li Feng climbed ashore. Sitting on the shore wept silently.

The dark arrow came too fast and urgently, even people like him and Fang Ping who had been through a hundred battles couldn't react at the first time.

They are protecting their masters, and when their masters die, they are safe and sound, and he blames himself, and he chases himself.

At this time, Fang Ping also ran out of strength in the water and climbed up. Sitting on the shore, grief-stricken.

"Lord Wang...... Lord, you're gone like this...... What do you let us do? ……”

"Lord Wang...... We couldn't protect you, I didn't go back, how can I have the face to see the princess......"

"If you want to have a face to see the princess, just ...... Just pull me up......"

Fang Ping, who was crying bitterly, seemed to hear the sound of heaven, and he and Li Feng instantly bounced.

In the darkness, on the reef not far away, a dark shadow was trying to climb up.

The two rushed over, pulled the person up, wiped the messy hair on their faces, and Li Feng laughed madly:

"Lord Wang? Rajah? After speaking, he hugged Xiao Wenxuan in his arms, and cried with joy: "Lord, I thought I would never see you again......"

"Oops......"

Xiao Wenxuan's painful oops reminded Li Feng of the arrow on his body.

Let go of Xiao Wenxuan, the two want to see Xiao Wenxuan's wounds.

"It's okay, I'm wearing soft armor."

Soft armor? Li Feng patted his head.

Why did he forget that Xiao Wenxuan went out with soft armor. It's just that he doesn't wear it often, so Li Feng almost forgot about the soft armor.

"Lord Wang, why are you still ...... when you wear soft armor" and ended up so embarrassed? Fang Ping scratched his head.

Xiao Wenxuan grabbed the sharp arrow with his backhand and pulled it out hard. Throwing the arrow on the ground, he let out a big sigh and touched his head in frustration: "Mistake!" ”

It turned out that when the sharp arrow came towards Xiao Wenxuan, with Xiao Wenxuan's skills, he should have a chance to dodge. But he did not hide, but spread the reins and planted the water on the side of the water when the arrow struck the back of the heart. And after landing, it rolls on the spot and rolls directly into the water.

But the moment he didn't expect to enter the water, his head hit a protruding rock on the shore, and he was knocked unconscious.

When he woke up, the person was already in the water, drank a few sips of water, struggled to hold on to a reef beside him, and heard the voices of Li Feng and Fang Ping......

"Lord Wang, what should we do now?" Fang Ping helped him up and asked.

"Find a place to stay for one night."

Li Feng looked around and pointed to a family not far away: "There are people there, we can spend the night." ”

Xiao Wenxuan had a terrible headache at this time, and was supported by the two of them, and walked towards the house with the smoke floating.

I gave the family a few taels of silver and bought a few old clothes from the owner. Li Feng changed Xiao Wenxuan's wet clothes and checked the wound on his heart.

Although Xiao Wenxuan wore soft armor in the back of his heart, this arrow was fierce and powerful. It penetrated the soft armor into the flesh by more than an inch.

Thanks to the fact that eighty or ninety percent of the force had been removed when he passed through the soft armor, Xiao Wenxuan only suffered skin injuries.

The wound was bandaged, and the owner brought food.

A few of them were eating in the room, whispering about their next steps.

……

"Lord Wang, why are you pretending to be dead?" Fang Ping was puzzled.

"The emperor is not dead to me, and it also causes the five princes to be dissatisfied with me. In front of the emperor, I didn't say that the assassination of Kuwu Island was done by the five princes, I just didn't want him to treat me as his enemy. ”

"The five princes attacked me one after another, and I can't hide from this time. Instead of guarding all day long and making people worry, it is better to fake death to make the emperor and the people who guard against me die. Xiao Wenxuan took a bite of the mixed noodles steamed bun and chewed hard.

"And what about after that?" Fang Ping ate, his mouth non-stop.

"When we go back, we will pick up the princess, and we will leave Daming incognito."

This is the beautiful scenery that he and Su Muling sketched many years ago. More than four years have passed, and he and Su Muling have not escaped the emperor's control.

"Leaving Daming? Where to go? Fang Ping was excited.

"Luolai country, Anji country, and Di country can all be."

"Great, Wuying has married a family, and I will find a foreign woman to be my wife. What about you? Which country do you want to marry? Fang Ping didn't eat anymore, and pulled Li Feng to ask curiously.

"What do you think?" Li Feng slapped him on the head and woke him up.

Fang Ping rubbed his head with a smile, picked up the mixed noodles steamed buns, put them in his mouth, and chewed hard.

…………

Another half a month passed, and the fifty guards who followed Xiao Wenxuan returned to Beijing to resume their lives: "...... Not only did Prince Ning's body not be found, but even the two people under him were also missing. The subordinates searched by the river for a few days, but there was no result, and then they came back to ask the emperor for their guilt. ”

"What about the murderer?" The emperor asked sharply.

"The subordinates led people to search, but no trace of the murderer was found." The captain was sweating on his head.

The emperor asked them to follow the prince, because he watched the prince and protected the prince. Now that the prince can't live and die, he knows that this crime of dereliction of duty is inevitable.

The emperor walked back and forth on the ground with his hands behind his back a few times, and when he stopped, he asked, "Have you seen the prince being shot by an arrow?" ”

The captain of the guard replied: "Back to the emperor, we were some distance from the prince at that time, but the sharp arrow attacked, the prince fell off the horse, and the small one could still be seen clearly." ”

The emperor's heart tugged and closed his eyes.

It seems that this time it is more auspicious and less auspicious. The emperor secretly blamed himself, if he had been forced to come to Beijing, if he hadn't forced Su Muling to come to Beijing, Su Muling and Jing Ye would not have been kidnapped, and Xiao Wenxuan would not have been in a hurry to get so caught up and taken his life!

"You wait for the guard Prince Ning to be unfavorable, cut off the official position, fight fifty each, and drive out of the capital." The emperor shouted angrily.

……

In mid-autumn and September, Kuwu Island has begun to prepare for winter. Prince Ning's mansion, which has never heard from the princess, is also closed and refuses to allow any outsiders to visit.

But the arrival of one person broke the tranquility of Prince Ning's mansion. This person is Wei Huai'an, the son of the mighty Hou Shishi.

When Su Haoran saw Wei Huai'an appear, he happily pulled him into his room. "Do you have any connection with Youan? Where is he now? ”

"What about Ling'er? Is there any news from Ling'er? ”

Wei Huai'an heard that Su Muling was missing, and heard the news that Xiao Wenxuan was attacked, so he rushed all the way here with his family on his back.

At this moment, of course, I am most concerned about Su Muling's news.

Su Haoran hesitated for a moment, and finally told him Su Muling's whereabouts: "...... Ling'er is now in Terling Town, with Wuying and Chen Sheng guarding her, you can rest assured. ”

Wei Huai'an had a fateful friendship with Su Muling, and Su Haoran believed that he would rather die than betray Su Muling.

Su Haoran's words were completely beyond Wei Huai'an's imagination, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "This Ling'er...... It's really smart. ”

These days have been full of bad news, and there is finally good news for the person he cares about the most.

That night, Wei Huai'an and Su Han sneaked into Telin Town overnight and knocked on the door of Su Muling's house in Tingfeng Lane.

When Su Muling saw the disguised Wei Huai'an appear, he was really surprised, and he pulled people into the house and began to inquire about the situation in the capital without even going to tea.

Wei Huai'an stared at Su Muling, who he hadn't seen for a long time, full of worry. But when she opened her mouth, she could only tell her the truth about the news he knew:

“…… When my cousin heard that you were missing, he resigned from the emperor and ran here, but he ...... on the way."

Wei Huai'an raised his eyes and looked at Su Muling, his expression melancholy.

Su Muling's heart was beating wildly at the moment, and she knew that the next thing would be bad news.

"What was the result?"

Su Muling's voice trembled a little. Both hands grasped the handkerchief in their hands and twisted it tightly.

"As a result, he was plotted, and he fell into the river with an arrow in his heart, and his whereabouts are unknown."

Arrows in the back of the heart? Su Muling's eyes darkened, and he fell backwards......

Wei Huai'an sprang out with an arrow and took her in his arms.

"Ling'er? Ling'er? Wei Huai'an called her nervously.

"Miss? Miss? Xichun and Pomegranate also followed.

After a while, Su Muling woke up slowly, and saw Wei Huai'an in front of him in a haze, his heart hurt, and tears flowed down: "I'm going to find him, I'm going to find him......"

As he spoke, he struggled to get up and was about to run out, but was pulled by Wei Huai'an.

"Ling'er, the emperor sent people to search along the river for seven days, but there are no clues, where are you looking?"

"So what do you want me to do? Let me wait here for news of his death? No wonder the secret letter came out that he didn't reply, it turned out to be ...... Huai'an, what should I do, he can't die, he can't die......"

Su Muling threw herself into Wei Huai'an's arms and cried bitterly.

Wei Huai'an stroked her head, and his heart was like a knife.

Wuying on the side was also red-eyed, and he regretted that he didn't insist on returning to Beijing with Xiao Wenxuan. If he is here, with his ability, he may be able to save Xiao Wenxuan's life.

……

At the mouth of the alley, a man got into a carriage and disappeared into the darkness.

Two quarters of an hour later, the carriage entered an alley and stopped in front of a house.

Then, a man got out of the car, looked around sneakily, and then entered the door.

“…… Sir, two more people have just entered the house. I don't look like the people here at my age. ”

A man in his thirties is reporting to a man who is writing on a desk with his head down.

The man raised his head, it was Li Jin, the former prefect who whimsically sent his daughter to the palace.

After listening to Li Jin, he stroked his beard and looked sinister: "The accent of the capital, the generous shot, the dress is good, and there are children's cries in the yard...... Laifu, I can now be sure that Prince Ning and Princess Ning were not robbed, but hid in Terling Town. ”

Li Jin stood up and walked back and forth on the ground excitedly.

"Master, why?" I don't go to the capital to enjoy happiness, but I try my best to hide here. Rifle couldn't figure it out.

"Of course you don't understand, I heard that Prince Ning and Princess Ning are jealous. In the capital before, because the emperor gave Prince Ning two side concubines, Prince Ning was angry and broke off the marriage contract with Prince Ning and set fire to the house where she lived. ”

"This time, the emperor announced that she would enter the palace, and the former hatred and hatred of the emperor inevitably gave her a hard time. I guess she wants to hide and wait for the turmoil to come back to her. ”

"Master Yingming, what do we do now?" Rifle finished patting the sycophant and asked again.

Li Jin stopped, his eyes flashing: "Let's go to the official and sue her for disobeying the order and deceiving her superiors and subordinates." ”

"She made my daughter unable to marry, and I made her feel bad. Laifu, you can follow me to the prefect now. ”

"Yes."
