Chapter 131: True and False Xiao Wenxuan
***
The notice looking for Su Muling was posted for two days, and many people saw it, but few people knew about it. Some people who tried their luck went to the government office and talked nonsense, but in the end it was made up, and they couldn't stand the interrogation, and after a few words, they were found to be defrauding the thousand taels of silver, and they were driven out of the yamen.
Su Muling had no news, and Xiao Wenchen also disappeared as if out of thin air, and the real Xiao Wenxuan, who had been looking around for their whereabouts, couldn't sit still. He ordered Fang Ping to go to the yamen, raised the bounty from 1,000 taels to 5,000 taels, and ordered the portrait of Su Muling drawn by sleepless people for several nights to be extended and posted.
Fang Ping sent the portrait to the yamen, and just after returning to the gate of King Ping's mansion, a little boy in ragged clothes got out of the stone lion in front of the door, ran to him and stuffed a letter into his arms, and ran away without waiting for Fang Ping to speak.
"Wait......"
The child had blended into the crowd.
Fang Ping spread out the envelope, and it read: King Ningjun is open!
Fang Ping didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly sent the letter in.
After reading the letter, Xiao Wenxuan's brows furrowed. Behind his hands, he stood in front of the window and didn't know where he was looking.
"Lord Wang?" Fang Ping didn't dare to ask.
Xiao Wenxuan turned around after a while: "Xiao Wenchen asked me to meet in the western suburbs." ”
"Lord beware."
"He is now the target of everyone, it is too late to hide, and there is no reason to kill himself."
"I'll go to the yamen to get people."
Fang Ping just wanted to leave, but was called back by Xiao Wenxuan: "Wait, the princess is in his hands, I need to think about it carefully." ”
Fang Ping was stunned for a moment and didn't move again.
……
At the foot of the mountain in the western suburbs of Qizhou, in a remote courtyard, after dinner, Su Muling was planning to use a book to plan her time, and the only girl in the courtyard walked in with a small basket.
"Princess, the prince said that the weather is good today, ask the slave maid to accompany you to take a walk on the grass outside."
"Get out? What did the prince say? ”
Su Muling couldn't believe it, but Xiao Wenxuan kept emphasizing the danger outside and restricting her from going out.
The girl nodded: "Yes, the prince said it." ”
"But outside...... Don't go out, lest you run into bad guys. ”
Su Muling put his eyes back on the book in his hand, and he had no interest in going out.
"Don't worry, princess, the prince said that you can go out, which means that it is safe outside. The slave and maid prepared baskets, didn't the princess like flowers? Let's go outside and pick some flowers to decorate the house. The girl persuaded.
Su Muling looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and finally got up.
She told the girl to wait outside the door, and changed her clothes. Accompanied by a girl, I walked out of this small courtyard for the first time.
The house is located at the foot of the hill, by the mountains and the water. This is Xiao Wenchen's secret residence, a place that even King Ping doesn't know.
The master and servant walked one after the other to the green grass in front of the house.
Behind them, a few paces away, followed the old, mute janitor.
As the sun set, Su Muling was in a good mood and picked wildflowers on the side of the road while walking. The girl followed her and put the flowers she had cut out in the basket she carried in the crook of her arm. The janitor was a few paces away from them, vigilantly checking the surroundings for movement.
At the end of the day, a long figure appeared on time on the rocky beach by the river.
Xiao Wenchen, who had been hiding in the shadows, saw it from a distance, observed it for a long time, and saw that Xiao Wenxuan was indeed coming alone, so he appeared in front of Xiao Wenxuan.
There is a rocky beach by the river, and the two Xiao Wenxuan, one true and one false, face each other.
Xiao Wenxuan sneered: "I didn't expect the prince to meet me with such a face." ”
Xiao Wenchen raised his hand and stroked his face, and sneered meaningfully: "I am very useful to this face of the second brother, and I want to use it forever, eldest brother." ”
"You want to replace me?"
Xiao Wenxuan's eyes casually glanced around, and his gaze was fixed on Su Muling, who was concentrating on picking flowers on the hillside.
"Why not?" Xiao Wenchen's hand touched his waist.
"How did you convince her that you were mine? Just with a fake face? Xiao Wenxuan still didn't move.
Su Muling is not a fool, and getting along with him is not a day or two, Xiao Wenchen's face can be fake and real, but his behavior cannot escape Su Muling's eyes.
"Of course not, don't forget that I'm the prince of the Ping Palace, what is there in the world that I can't get? I can drugged her into a blank sheet of paper and ink on her as I like. Whatever I want her to become, she will become. And you, in her eyes at the moment, are trying to pretend to be me and trying to kidnap Xiao Wenchen who escaped from Qizhou. Xiao Wenchen took out the sword at his waist and pointed at Xiao Wenxuan.
Xiao Wenxuan didn't move: "Are you sure you can kill me?" ”
"If you are poisoned, even if you are fortunate enough to be cured, you will not be cured in three or two months. Even if you meet a master and be healed, you will not care about Su Muling's life or death. I think you can see it, where she is, if something happens to me, she will definitely die. Therefore, I advise you to die obediently. Xiao Wenchen's voice had not fallen, and it had already popped up quickly.
Xiao Wenxuan didn't have any weapons in his hand, so he could only dodge around the rocks, but Xiao Wenchen's sword moves pointed to his vital point, and without a cup of tea, Xiao Wenxuan saw a few injuries on his body.
"Xiao Wenxuan, do you dare to resist? You're not afraid I'll kill her? Xiao Wenchen had already used a lot of strength, but he only hurt his skin, and he was very annoyed.
"I can die for her, but I'm not sure you'll treat her well after I die, and I want you to promise me a few conditions."
"When death is coming, what qualifications do you have to negotiate with me." The long sword in Xiao Wenchen's hand wrapped around Xiao Wenxuan like a snake.
……
In the grass ten zhang away, Su Muling held a large handful of flowers and slowly moved towards the Xiao family brothers who were fighting viciously at the foot of the mountain.
The janitor who followed her vigilantly blocked her way.
Su Muling glared at him coldly: "You dare to stop me?" With that, he continued to walk down.
The gatekeeper stretched out his hand to block again, and his eyes were no longer the humility that his subordinates should have, but with heavy warnings.
Su Muling ignored his warning, pushed away the arm that was blocking him, and ran quickly down the mountain.
The janitor frowned, and stretched out his long arm to grab Su Muling's heart......
Su Muling only felt an arm around her waist, and then she soared into the air, and before the scream could be released, the person had already landed ten meters away.
"Don't be afraid, princess, it's me!"
It turned out to be Fang Ping, who had been ambushed here for a long time.
Without waiting for Su Muling to react, Fang Ping rushed out like a leopard and attacked the janitor chasing after Su Muling......
Xiao Wenxuan didn't dare to attack here because he was worried about Su Muling's safety, so he could only protect himself, although he was a step higher than Xiao Wenchen, but he was injured when he dodged Xiao Wenchen's attacks again and again with his bare hands.
A quarter of an hour passed, and Xiao Wenchen finally got the opportunity to point a sword at the other party's throat.
"I'll give you a chance to say what you want." Xiao Wenchen squinted his eyes proudly, and the rampant that was bound to appear was imminent.
"Let us go, I'll give you my identity, as long as you keep to yourself, I promise you that you will never return to Daming!"
Xiao Wenxuan regarded the identity of King Ningjun as dung, as long as Su Muling was there, he could hide it anywhere except Daming, and he believed that Su Muling was the same.
"Hahaha! Let me let go of such a rare beauty? No way. But I can promise you, no matter how many women there are in my backyard, she will always be the most honorable one......"
Xiao Wenchen suddenly stopped talking, because he sensed something strange in Xiao Wenxuan's eyes.
He turned around suddenly, and Su Muling was just a few steps away from them, looking at them in amazement.
Xiao Wenchen was so focused on subduing Xiao Wenxuan just now that he didn't notice when Su Muling was standing there. His eyes swept over the mountain, and the janitor had already fallen into disadvantage by Fang Ping's step-by-step press.
"You guys?" Su Muling's hand fell to the ground with flowers and covered his mouth in surprise.
"Ling'er, he is the prince of King Ping. He killed your girl and two guards, and locked you up in an attempt to coerce me into submission. Now he pretends to be me, and wants to repeat his old tricks, Ling'er, I will avenge you and your subordinates now. Xiao Wenchen took the lead.
"Ling'er ......" Xiao Wenxuan wanted to speak and stopped.
"He's the son?"
Su Muling flashed a pair of big eyes, and after carefully looking at the faces of the two for a long time, he said to Xiao Wenchen: "Otherwise, the prince will take off his face and let me see his true face." ”
Xiao Wenchen was stunned, he thought of a hundred ways to deal with her, but he didn't expect her to let him expose Xiao Wenxuan's face.
Peel it off, people's faces are original, and nothing can be removed. If you don't go, you can't confirm that the other party is fake and you are real.
"Ling'er, King Ping's son is scheming, don't get too close to him."
Hearing this, Su Muling quickly took a step back, and looked at the two of them with some embarrassment.
"Can't get close? …… In this way, the prince accompanied me to dinner last night, whoever can tell what he ate is is true. You speak first. ”
Su Muling pointed at Xiao Wenxuan.
Xiao Wenxuan bit his lip and stared at her silently. He had a sword on his throat, and Su Muling didn't remember what had happened before, he really couldn't prove that he was really himself. Xiao Wenxuan didn't speak, just looked at Su Muling painfully and was silent.
Su Muling dodged his gaze and leaned towards Xiao Wenchen's side. Raising her pretty little face, she asked, "Then what did we eat yesterday?" ”
Xiao Wenchen naturally sensed Su Muling's closeness to him and Xiao Wenxuan's estrangement, the tension just now disappeared in an instant, he smiled at Su Muling, and said proudly and loudly: "Last night, we had chicken pith shoots, flowery lotus root, steamed mutton and braised whitebait. ”
Su Muling listened to Xiao Wenchen report the name of the dish, and a happy smile suddenly bloomed on his face.
"That's right, I also sandwiched mutton for the prince at that time." Su Muling happily took his sword-holding arm and looked at him affectionately.
"Yes, I also got you a whitebait." Xiao Wenchen was also infected by Su Muling, and his smile brought some sincerity.
"Whitebait? Ling'er, did you eat fish? Xiao Wenxuan was shocked.
"What? Can't I eat it? Su Muling asked disdainfully.
"Of course not, Ling'er, you can't eat fish, not only fish but also shrimp and crabs and everything in the sea. After eating these, you will faint from breathlessness. Ling'er, no matter who you choose in the end, I hope you can protect yourself and don't trust anyone easily. ”
Xiao Wenxuan smiled with tears when he said this, and a pair of soul-stunning peach blossom eyes made people feel so distressed that they couldn't bear to look at it directly.
