144 obedient
"Tama." Garu called softly, and Tama, who had wanted to say more, withdrew.
Jia Lou smiled at Gu Nanjin, his eyes were light and light, like a boundless sea, deep and vast, as if he knew all the secrets.
Gu Nanjin breathed a sigh of relief and promised again: "Gu will definitely send more people to find out as soon as possible." ”
Garu only smiled silently.
The other party's attitude made Gu Nanjin a little unpredictable, and he felt in his heart that this prince of Nanhao was really leaky in his words and actions, looking warm as jade, and his heart was as solid as a rock, which made people really dare not take it lightly.
Jia Lou's gaze slowly moved to the court in front of him and asked, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, can this game continue?" ”
Gu Nanjin: "......"
If it were normal, encountering such an assassination, it would be a great loss of interest, and no one would have the heart to continue any polo game, but the situation is special at this moment.
If the polo match ends here, then he can only choose another opportunity to visit the Uhajia Tower at the post house, which is too formal and cautious, and if it is not negotiated, there will be no room for this marriage to advance or retreat.
Gu Nan calmed down, his smile became warm again, and said, "Naturally, we want to continue, how can we let that little wait spoil our interest!" ”
Gu Nanjin gave an order, and the guards and palace people of the Yulin Guard took action.
They were trained to remove the two bodies on the ground, and quickly swept away the bloodstains, and the stands were neat and clean again.
If it weren't for the faint smell of blood in the air, one would almost suspect that Fang Cai's scene was just a nightmare.
However, everyone knew that it had actually happened.
Those timid and weak nobles were all uneasy, and they all wanted to leave, but the crown prince and the princess didn't say anything, and everyone could only sit back obediently.
A drum sounded again in the stadium, and the polo game resumed.
However, these participating sons and girls were only seventeen or eighteen years old at most, and they hadn't experienced anything yet, and the assassination just now was too shocking for them.
Many people were still shocked, so the next ball game was a little powerless, everyone played very scattered, the soul was not giving up, and there were repeated mistakes when cooperating with the attack.
After a stick of incense, the first half ended casually, and the blue team temporarily led by two goals.
When the gong sounded at the end of the first half, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Yunyi rode his horse in the direction of Chu Qianchen, and he couldn't hide the worry on his face.
Chu Qianchen's arrow was deeply engraved in Chu Yunyi's mind.
He knew that Chu Qianchen's archery skills were good, he pierced through Yang in 100 steps, and hit 100 shots, but after all, it was shooting targets and dead objects, he didn't expect Chu Qianchen to be so bold that he dared to shoot people with arrows.
Chu Yunyi imagined that if he was in Chu Qianchen's position and happened to have a bow and arrow at hand, would he dare to shoot?
Dare.
However, he is afraid that he will be a little soft, and he should not choose to aim at the center of his eyebrows.
Chu Qianchen should be like this.
She happened to hit the man in the middle of the eyebrow with an arrow, killing someone, and now she must be terrified.
He had to comfort her, for an assassin like this who had infiltrated the royal gardens would be dead in any case.
No, maybe he should have told her that he had shot the arrow......
Chu Yunyi thought in confusion.
Everyone got off the field one after another, but Chu Qianhuang remained in the field, letting the horse pacing slowly, and the pace was extremely slow.
After Fang Cai's incense kung fu, she had calmed down, put aside Chu Qianchen, and thought about Fang Cai's assassination.
Although she had just been far away from the scene, she had not heard what the assassin had said, nor had she heard the conversation between Gu Nanjin and Jialou, but she could be sure that the assassination was directed at Jialou.
Did this assassination happen in your dreams?
Chu Qianhuang was actually not sure.
However, she is sure of one thing, that is, the change in Nanhao Palace is imminent, and there will be a bloody storm soon.
If she was Uhagaru's uncle, Uhadura, she would definitely try to get rid of Uhagaru.
Therefore, nine times out of ten, this assassination was planned by Uhadura, and he also intended to blame Daqi......
A cold glow flashed in Chu Qianhuang's eyes, with a kind of detachment that everyone was drunk and I was awake.
It's a pity that no matter how hard Uhadura takes pains, he can't get rid of Jialu, everything he does will only make Jialu stronger, like the phoenix bathed in fire, nirvana and rebirth.
Just like her.
She will also be reborn.
Chu Qianhuang told himself in his heart that he grabbed the horse's belly, sped up and got off the field, and ran in a different direction with Chu Yunyi.
When Chu Yunyi came to the stands, he was about to call Chu Qianchen's name, but he saw a grandmother in a rust-colored gown walking up to Chu Qianchen's side, and said with a smile: "Second Miss Chu, the crown princess, please come over and talk." ”
Chu Yunyi frowned, stood up directly from the horse, and climbed up to the high stands with quick movements, dumbing down a group of noble girls.
"Mama Lao told the crown princess," Chu Yunyi said before Chu Qianchen, "My sister is scared, let's go over and say hello later, so as not to lose my rudeness in the crown princess." ”
Chu Yunyi felt that this crown princess was too blind, didn't he see his sister's frightened face like a blank paper?
Chu Yunyi stood proudly, his young and handsome face had the consolence and spirit unique to young people, as if he was saying that if they wanted to bully Chu Qianchen, it would depend on whether he agreed or not.
Amber was still a little frightened, patted his chest, looked at his own girl, and then looked at Chu Yunyi, feeling that the eldest young master's understanding of the girl was too shallow. Girl, I'm afraid I don't know how to write the words "scared" and "afraid".
The grandmother looked at Chu Qianchen carefully, indeed, her face was a little white, at least three points whiter than Lan Ruo next to her.
But she can't go home empty-handed.
Mama quietly glanced at Lan Ruo, asking her to quickly persuade Chu Qianchen.
"So be it." Chu Qianchen spoke softly and gently, "Aunt Lan Ruo, you go back to the crown princess first, and after I drink the soothing tea, I'll go over later." ”
Chu Qianchen spoke, where did Lan Ruo dare not.
Lan Ruo was blessed, and said with a blank expression: "Girl, the slave will go back as soon as she goes." ”
Lan Ruo's Mu Ran became a kind of arrogance in the eyes of this grandmother, and she felt that she had really completely subdued Chu Qianchen.
followed, Lan Ruo followed the grandmother to the princess's side.
As soon as they left, Chu Yunyi couldn't wait to ask, "Second sister, are you okay?" ”
"Second sister, how do you feel, do you want to give me your hand?" Chu Yunmu also came over, he often helped his mother pinch his shoulder, and his skills were very good.
Gu Zhiyan silently took a cup of tea and handed it to Chu Qianchen, looking at her with big eyes.
"Thank you, Qi Niang." Chu Qianchen took the cup of tea and rubbed the top of Gu Zhiyan's hair.
Several younger siblings surrounded her and asked for warmth, treating her like a fragile enamel doll.
This scene also fell into the eyes of the crown princess.
At this time, Mama also led Lan Ruo to the crown princess and truthfully retold what Chu Qianchen had said.
The crown princess's eyes were still looking at Chu Qianchen, and she asked a little absentmindedly: "Second Miss Chu can ride and shoot?" ”
It was so messy, the crown princess actually didn't see Chu Qianchen shoot an arrow, at first she thought it was Yu Linwei who shot it, but the prince sent someone to tell her, so that Chu Qianchen could talk to her.
"Back to the crown princess, the second girl of Chu accompanies the fourth prince of Chu to practice archery every day." Lan Ruo replied.
The crown princess was not surprised.
In the homes of so many noble clans in Beijing, there are many girls who can play polo, and there are also many girls who can ride and shoot.
She had heard it when she was in the boudoir that even Concubine Chu had a good hand at riding and shooting.
The crown princess asked again: "Where did this bow come from?" ”
Lan Ruo replied truthfully: "It was given to the fourth prince of Chu by the entourage of the great prince of Wuhe." ”
When Tama gave the bow before, so many people looked at it, and the crown princess actually knew it, just casually confirmed it.
Between the questions and answers, they saw Chu Yunmu on the other end picking up the big bow with great interest, looking eager to try it, but he was too small to pull the bow at all.
Chu Yunmu tried twice without giving up, and looked at Chu Qianchen expectantly, wanting her to demonstrate it to herself.
His beautiful phoenix eyes were shining, as if to say, second sister, you are really amazing!
Before his words could be spoken, his hand was empty, and the rhino horn bow was taken away by Chu Yunyi.
"What to play!" Chu Yunyi glanced at Chu Yunmu, thinking that this kid was simply heartless, didn't he see that his sister was scared?
Chu Yunyi hid the rhino horn bow behind him, lest Chu Qianchen think of the dead man again, and then said awkwardly: "Don't do it yourself next time, don't you see that everyone else is hiding?" The assassins aren't here for you, it's your business, you can just hide yourself......"
Chu Yunyi muttered like a little old man, Chu Qianchen smiled slightly, feeling that this kid's temperament was too awkward, and he didn't know who he looked like.
At this time, Gu Zhiyan brought another plate of osmanthus mung bean cake to Chu Qianchen to eat, and Chu Qianchen simply took a piece and blocked Chu Yunyi's mouth.
At this time, Chu Yunmu was no longer obedient, glaring at Chu Qianchen, as if to say, how can you favor one over the other!
As a result, Chu Qianchen could only "reward" a few small ones one by one with a piece of mung bean cake.
The crown princess retracted her gaze boringly, and already knew in her heart: she was also a mother, knowing that this little child was greedy for play and freshness, Chu Yunmu had just got a new bow and couldn't help but want to play with it, nine times out of ten, he happened to let Chu Qianchen pull the bow for him, and instigated her to release the arrow, but Chu Qianchen accidentally shot someone.
Look, she doesn't even dare to touch the bow now, I'm afraid she's scared.
The crown princess was a little interested, and asked a few more casually, she asked, and Lan Ruo replied, respectfully.
After half a cup of tea, the crown princess sent Lan Ruo.
Lan Ruo returned to Chu Qianchen's side alone, and replied dryly: "Girl, the crown princess let you rest well, you don't have to go over." ”
Lan Ruo's face was still cold, and when he spoke, his tone didn't even change at all, in fact, his heart was beating wildly, and he almost jumped to his throat.
Most of the people present today actually hadn't seen Chu Qianchen's arrow with their own eyes, and when they realized it, the person was already dead.
However, Lan Ruo watched Chu Qianchen shoot that arrow with her own eyes, watching how she held the bow, how she set up the arrow, how she aimed, and how she put the string......
The series of movements is not only as smooth as flowing water, but also extremely fast, completing this series of movements in just one breath.
Until this moment, Lan Ruo could clearly see the thrill of the arrow when it was released.
As the feathered arrow shot in front of her, it brought a strong gust of wind that made her cheeks ache so fast that she couldn't catch up.
When she turned her head to look, the arrow had pierced the Assassin's head.
The other party's unbelievable eyes were deeply reflected in Lan Ruo's memory, and they left an indelible mark.
Lan Ruo only felt chills all over his body, from his skin to his bone marrow.
Just thinking of that scene, her heart swelled.
Where is this Chu Qianchen What kind of little white rabbit, the emperor, empress, and princess were all played by her, she is simply a leopard in the jungle.
A little girl, who will only turn fourteen next month, actually took the life of a person while talking and laughing, and she was unmoved and unconcerned, as if it was not the first time she had killed someone like this.
Yes, this Chu Qianchen reminded her of those brocade guards, which made her shudder.
Chu Qianchen waved his hand and motioned for Lan Ruo to retreat.
Lan Ruo's body trembled, and she stepped aside in an orderly manner, hoping that Chu Qianchen would completely forget about her.
Hey, she can only take one step at a time now, and she has no other way to go than to be obedient to such a murderous demon king of the mixed world.
Compared to the other party, she is just an ant, and can be easily trampled to death.
Chu Qianchen was eating mung bean cake deliciously.
In the end, she is very satisfied with this Aunt Lan Ruo, and thinks that it is really useful to keep such a person, and look, she doesn't have to bother to explain anything to the crown princess.
Chu Qianchen eats snacks and drinks sherbets, which is very pleasant.
Chu Yunmu and Gu Zhiyan were also infected by her, eating, drinking, talking and laughing.
In contrast, the others around were surprisingly quiet.
Normally at halftime, the stands are usually very lively, discussing the first half of the game, or chatting, or discussing the strategy of the second half, but at the moment everyone is interested in staying in their seats, as if they have not recovered from the shock of the stabbing game.
The surroundings were a little eerily quiet, and even the air seemed to be covered with a faint shadow.
After a break of incense, the second half of the game began.
Another deafening drum sounded, and the white ball flew high again, and a group of young men and girls rode their horses in pursuit.
After the halftime break, most of the people have recovered and become energetic and full of fighting spirit one by one, especially the red team that fell behind by a few goals in the first half.
The third prince, Gu Nanzhen, galloped by like a meteor and took the lead in grabbing the ball.
He smiled smugly, but the next moment his smile froze, and the prince of Shun rode out of his horse and snatched the ball from under him.
The prince of Shun Wang didn't fall in love, shouted "Yunyi", and hit Chu Yunyi in the back.
Chu Yunyi was a little absent-minded, stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses, and hurriedly went to catch the ball, and his cane caught the ball with Peng Zhongshen, the second son of Jing'an Hou.
Peng Zhongshen, who was dressed in red, was still going to grab the ball, and waved his cane trickily......
Seeing this scene, Chu Yunmu was extremely excited, stood up from his seat, raised his hand and pointed at Chu Yunyi and shouted in his voice: "Second sister, look, the eldest brother is being targeted!" ”
"Second sister, don't worry, I will be better than the eldest brother in the future, and I will give you a long face!"
Chu Yunmu had long forgotten all the words he had sworn to be as powerful as his big brother.
What with what! Chu Yunyi's face darkened.
He's still here, it's not Chu Yunmu's turn to be a five-year-old kid to be Chu Qianchen's backer!
Chu Yunyi seemed to have taken some kind of panacea, his spirit was lifted, he waved his arm, and his bow stick hit the white ball heavily, and with a move of "100 steps through Yang", he directly hit the ball into the narrow goal from a few hundred steps away.
That goal stretched the blue team's lead to three goals.
There was a burst of applause and applause all around, and the spectators in the stands applauded again and again, like waves of the sea, blowing away the previous haze.
Next, Chu Yunyi devoted himself to the game, and the older he and Shun Wang Shizi and others were, the more comfortable they became, and they cooperated like a fish in water.
At noon, a whimpering horn sounded, and almost at the same time, Chu Yunyi waved his arms and hit the goal again, ending the game.
Chu Yunyi's blue team led by a total of four goals in the end and won by an undoubted advantage.
The stands erupted in applause again, like a thunderous tide, and the prince of Shun triumphantly rode his horse around the field for half a lap, cheering happily: "Win!" We won! ”
Chu Yunyi looked much more low-key than the prince of Shun, the corners of his lips were only slightly curved, and his eyes subconsciously looked at Chu Qianchen in the stands.
Chu Yunmu happily waved his arm at Chu Yunyi, and Chu Yunyi also waved his cane at him lazily, thinking that Chu Qianchen wouldn't be bad for what he promised to give him a bow, right?
He decided to remind Chu Qianchen, but was dragged away by Prince Shun and others.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, we won this game today, what reward do you want to give us?"
The prince of Shun is the cousin of the crown prince, and he is not seen at all when he asks for a reward.
Gu Nan was preoccupied, Fang Cai actually didn't pay attention to the second half of the game at all, but he didn't watch it, and he also had his own Du Guild to remind him.
He looked at the prince of Shun Wang, Chu Yunyi and the others with a smile on his face, and praised: "Very good, the young man is a hero, today I will reward each of you with a BMW and a green dragon sword." ”
The prince's reward is not in its value, but in its significance, and the young men of the blue team are all happy, radiant, and grateful.
Gu Nanjin turned his head to Jialou and said, "I heard that the Great Prince of Wuhe is also a master in each of them, but what can you guide them?" ”
Gu Nanjin's tone was a little tentative, and his index finger gently rubbed the jade wrench on his thumb, and his heart was like numbness.
After the start of the second half, he tried to talk a few more times, but Uhagaru refused to answer him. He also knew that he would definitely not be able to talk about marriage today.
This assassination happened in front of everyone, and it was necessary to give an explanation to Uhajialou, otherwise, the other party would be afraid that it would be difficult to let go of Daqi.
Just thinking about it, Gu Nanjin felt a faint pain in his temples.
There were two assassins lurking among Yu Linwei and the palace people, two or three, and maybe more, deeply rooted in the court like nails......
Even if there is no Uhagaru, he must pull out those nails, otherwise, the person who will be assassinated in the next moment may be his father and himself.
Jia Lou calmly looked at Gu Nanjin, "Don't dare to give advice." ”
As he spoke, his eyes looked at Chu Yunyi and asked, "Young Master Chu, the horse you are riding is not your usual horse, is it?" ”
He smiled lightly, and his calm expression was the same as before the assassination.
Obviously, the thrilling assassination did not leave any trace in his mind, and the ship crossed the water without a trace.
Chu Yunyi was slightly stunned, and almost asked how did you know.
The horse he usually rode was seventeen years old, an old horse, and he rarely rode it out of the house.
Chu Yunyi's stunned expression gave everyone the answer.
Uhajialou really has eyes like a torch, and nothing can hide from his eyes. Gu Nanjin's jealousy of him deepened, and an indescribable feeling appeared in his heart: Nanhao has such a future monarch, which is really a blessing and a curse for Daqi.
Garu said, "I will give you a Dawan horse." ”
Dawan Horse?!
Everyone was in an uproar for a while, and looked at Chu Yunyi with envy.
Dawan Ma is a bloody BMW, a famous BMW, which is even better than the West Pole Horse.
Even Gu Nanjin couldn't hide his surprise, and his eyes became darker.
Seeing Chu Yunyi looking at him inquisitively, Gu Nan smiled casually: "Chu Yunyi, since this is a piece of kindness from the Great Prince of Wuhe, you can accept it." ”
He thought in his heart: Maybe it was the arrow that Jia Lou wanted to repay Chu Qianchen by giving Chu Yunyi a horse, so could he be regarded as repaying his kindness, or was it to not owe anything?
In any case, Chu Yunyi must be the biggest beneficiary of today's polo match, and was instigated by Shun Wang Shizi and others to go to Yunting Pavilion for dinner.
In the midst of the bustle, everyone dispersed.
Gu Nanjin personally sent Jialou and his party away, but he was not in a hurry to leave.
The sun was still shining, but Gu Nanjin's surroundings were suddenly like clouds.
The steward eunuch of Furong Garden and the commander of Yu Linwei knelt directly on the ground that was baked by the sun and almost fried eggs, both of them were dripping with cold sweat and their faces were as white as paper.
There is such a big mistake today, of course, they are duty-bound, and the demotion is light.
Gu Nanjin had already sat in the prince's golden carriage, he picked up the corner of the curtain with his hand, and asked coldly with a straight face, "How is the investigation?" ”
The steward eunuch replied first: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the dead chamberlain is named Wang Yuhe, he entered the palace at the age of nine, when Yuzhou was flooded, he fled to the capital with the refugees, and he has been behaving in a good manner all these years......
The steward eunuch was also wronged in his heart, this has been in the palace for almost ten years, and he has always been very peaceful, how could he have thought that this was an assassin.
The conductor and the same acquaintance followed back to Rong Tao's life experience. He is one year older than Wang Yuhe, and he is also a refugee during the flood in Yuzhou that year. In Yu Linwei, there are too many such people.
Gu Nanjin's expression became even colder, and he asked again: "What about the one who killed people?" ”
He asked the mustachioed guard.
The commander replied again: "His name is Zhao Yanzhang, his ancestors have been from Jizhou for three generations, and he has been staying in the camp of the Fifth Army for fifteen years, and he was just promoted to Yulinwei last year. ”
For the time being, Zhao Yanzhang and these two assassins have very different origins, and they should not be accomplices.
Gu Nanjin narrowed his eyes.
He didn't speak, Du's father-in-law knew what he meant, and asked Zhao Yanzhang to come up.
Zhao Yanzhang came soon, knelt down, and saluted Gu Nan in the chariot: "See His Royal Highness the Prince." His face was also pale and cramped.
Gu Nanjin asked straight to the point: "Why did you kill Rong Tao?" ”
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, at that time, the last general saw Rong Tao's right hand moving, thinking that he was going to shoot a dark weapon again, so he ......" Zhao Yanzhang's head fell lower, and his body trembled visibly.
The commander Tongzhi added: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Rong Tao's body has been examined, and there is a flying knife hidden in each of his boots, but he lost too much blood at that time......
At that time, Tama cut off Rong Tao's left hand, he lost too much blood, and it stands to reason that he was already very weak, and it is really hard to say whether he can still touch the flying knife.
Gu Nanjin stared at Zhao Yanzhang for a moment, and finally only gave one word: "Check." ”
Uhajialou was assassinated in the royal garden of Daqi, and the assassin was still the guard and chamberlain of Daqi, even if he was safe and sound, he could not prevaricate in a word.
Thinking about it, Gu Nanjin began to have a headache again, and he didn't know how many times he was glad that Jialou was not dead.
"Drive back to the palace."
With Gu Nanjin's order, the group went on the road in a majestic manner.
Gu Nanjin lowered the curtain, looked at the crown princess sitting beside him, and asked in a deep voice, "Crown princess, what do you think of Second Miss Chu?" ”
