"The five princes have a clear heart, and they have no intention of government, which is definitely not what you think, go and meet him. The house is so big, you will always run into it, and it is better to be honest than this.

Besides, over the years, he has always been in love with his sister, and he has not married this affection, I see it in my eyes, he is trustworthy. Even if it's for my sister's sake, I won't do anything to hurt you. Zhong Limu's voice was soft, with a serious face, looking at Ling Xiao and nodding his head firmly, he knew Ling Xiao's concerns.

Ling Xiao lowered his eyebrows and looked at the steamed bun between his fingers, although he heard Zhong Limu's words, he did not pull back his thoughts from the shallow distraction, and pondered for a long time before he said softly: "Let me think about this matter." The third brother should not be in a hurry to inform him first. ”

"It's nature." Zhongli Mu replied crisply, and then continued to eat.

After breakfast, the finch went out and called two housekeepers, and with them they put away all the dishes on the table, and then put the tea set on the table, and then there were only some sparks left in the tea stove that were half hidden in the soot, and the tea was not cold, but the heat was swirling.

Ling Xiao personally added a cup of tea to Zhong Limu, and suddenly frowned at him, with a puzzled expression: "By the way, how did you meet Lu Ci?" ”

"At that time, when I was about to enter the border of Guilin County, I was assassinated by a group of masked killers, and at that time, I and the five princes were in danger, but we were finally rescued by Lu Shaoxia and several other knights in the Lu Mansion. At that time, the injury was too serious and delirious, so Lu Shaoxia took us on the road to Lufu. Zhong Limu stated calmly, his eyes shining with gratitude.

Speaking of which, Zhong Limu felt lucky, thanks to Lu Ci this time, if Lu Ci hadn't saved them and brought them to the Lu Mansion on his own initiative, how could he have reunited with his sister so quickly?

Ling Xiao's expression tightened, his brows tightened, and his words were a little more eager: "Third brother's injury is better?" Who did it? Her first thought was of the man who had kidnapped him that day.

Lu Jingxing put the hand holding the tea cup to his lips, and when he heard Zhong Limu mention this time again, he learned the inside story that he didn't know yesterday, his face was solemn, and he felt that his conjecture yesterday was wrong.

Yesterday, Lu Jingxing just guessed that someone was pretending to be flying through the cliff in order to lure Zhong Limu and them out, so as to completely eradicate them. And after learning Zhong Limu's identity today, the purpose of this is not the same thing at all.

Ling Xiao was indeed captured by the thief on the Feitou Cliff, and sending the token to Jun should have been done by Feitou Cliff. Ling Xiao also told him that the thief kidnapped her because of Yanling Zhan, so the purpose of Fei Che Ya is very clear, most likely to target Yanling Zhan. And those people just want to take the opportunity to get rid of some stumbling blocks.

As for the enmity between Yanling Zhan and Feiche Cliff, Lu Jingxing didn't care.

Lu Jingxing thinks about it now, Zhong Limu's assassination was not a plan by those people in advance. Of course, there is another possibility, after those people learned of Ling Xiao's whereabouts, in order to keep the future trouble, or to prevent Zhong Limu from finding Ling Xiao, they would send assassins to assassinate them, and most of them had nothing to do with the people who framed Ling Xiao in the first place.

However, no matter how much he guessed now, it was just speculation after all, and maybe none of these were the real goals of those people.

What he can do now is to improve his precautions and protect Ling Xiao, so as not to be found by someone with a heart, and then he is afraid that Ling Xiao will be in danger.

Zhong Limu took a sip of the teacup, shook his head at Ling Xiao, stared at the teacup between his fingers and lost his mind slightly, his expression was worried, but the worry quickly disappeared, and he said lightly: "Don't worry, after more than ten days, my injury is no longer in the way." It's just that I don't know who is behind it, so I think it must have something to do with the person who murdered you in the first place. ”

After a pause, Zhong Limu's eyes suddenly had a hint of coldness, and the knuckles holding the cup tightened: "Those people don't want you to go back safely, so that they want to never suffer in the future." When I find out, I won't be able to spare them. ”

"Third brother, I'm afraid this matter is not that simple." Ling Xiao had been thinking about it for a long time, and after careful analysis, she saw some suspicions, and now she was not so suspicious that this matter was the so-called of the Zuoqiu family, but it could not be ruled out.

Zhongli Mu's eyes lit up, and there was a faint doubt between his eyebrows, and he looked at Ling Xiao: "How do you say this?" ”

Ling Xiao's expression was faint, he glanced at Zhong Limu, and said slowly: "I suspect that there is someone else." If it was true that the person who plotted against me in the first place wanted to target me again, then he would not be in such a hurry, and he would have waited until my whereabouts were clear and my person was found before doing so. Assassinated both of us in one sitting. Now, after knowing that I was not successfully sent to the Japanese country, I think some people should be in a hurry, and they must be unwilling to spare my life. ”

"Xiao Xiao is right, I guess that most of the targets of these killers are you or the Fifth Prince. They obviously knew your whereabouts for a long time, but they didn't do it sooner or later, and chose to assassinate you on the border of Guilin County, that is, at the junction of the Central Plains and the Nanzhuan Kingdom. Lu Jingxing agreed with Ling Xiao's point of view, and at the same time expressed his own opinion. Now that he is involved in it, he can no longer sit idly by, so he doesn't want to hide his thoughts like he did yesterday.

He always looked at the void, thoughtfully, paused and then added: "At the junction of the two countries, even if something happens, it is a public case, and no one in the two countries can say clearly, so the responsibility borne by the two countries will be minimized." This shows that the mastermind of a certain queen had concerns and did not want to make enemies with Nanzhuan because of the assassination of the prince, which affected the relationship between the two countries, so he did not wait for Guilin County to make a move. However, these people don't want this to happen directly in the territory of the Central Plains, so they may not be able to completely get rid of suspicion. ”

"The third brother has ever had a bad relationship with someone in Jundu?" Ling Xiao's words were tempting, just because she couldn't be sure. With her third brother's temperament, she should not be in conflict with others.

When Zhong Limu heard Ling Xiao's question, he also began to think about it carefully, and only after a long time did he say lightly: "No." In the past, I used to go out to do things in the capital, and I have never encountered anything like this. However, on that day, I beat Yanlingzhan. ”

"What? Third brother, you ......" was as calm as Ling Xiao, and his face was also full of astonishment at the moment, staring at Zhong Limu's clear-eyed face in disbelief for a long time, and he didn't know what to say.

Such a thing was said by Zhong Limu so plainly, and Lu Jingxing's heart was not small, but he didn't say anything.

Zhong Limu looked calm and waved his hand: "It can't be him." His mind had never been so small, and there was a reason for what happened that day. Most importantly, he knows that I came out to find you, and that's what he's been sending people to do. ”

"That is, someone took the initiative to make trouble, and the third brother should pay more attention in the future. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that it was caused by me. or by ordinary people, or even flying through the cliff. If you really want to analyze it in detail, it is indeed too complicated. Ling Xiao sighed lightly, picked up the half of the tea on the desk and shook it lightly, his face was full of worry.

Lu Jingxing looked at the bright sunlight outside the house that had moved to the bottom of the stairs, and after a long time, he slowly withdrew his gaze from the outside, his calm face was with a faint solemnity, and he said: "In this matter, I will secretly send someone to investigate on the rivers and lakes first, presumably those people have not completely retreated, and are waiting for the opportunity to do it again." ”

"Then there will be the Lord of the Laolu Mansion." Zhong Limu did not refuse, and gladly accepted Lu Jingxing's help. But soon his eyes flashed with a hint of affirmation, "Now the situation in the court is becoming more and more severe and complicated, no matter what, seeing that those killers are well-trained and orderly, this assassination incident should be caused by the rights and wrongs of the court, and it is definitely not an ordinary bandit on the rivers and lakes." This has ruled out another possibility, and the scope has narrowed down considerably. ”

After saying this, the three of them quieted down and tasted tea relatively silently for a while.

After a long time, Ling Xiao's eyes turned slightly, and it seemed that he was quite something, but his voice was indeed light and calm, and his face was not shocked: "By the way, third brother, I was able to escape from Feitou Cliff this time, thanks to Yanling Chu." He seemed to have known my whereabouts a long time ago, and had the Elder Yuanqu come to find me. Gave me two things. ”

"Is there such a thing? He is the half-brother of Yanlingzhan, which is a little strange that he did not reveal your news. Zhong Limu looked quite surprised, and a cup of tea paused in mid-air, just looking at Ling Xiao's flat face fixedly.

Ling Xiao nodded slightly: "I also feel strange, but I also know that he has no ill will towards me. However, Daoist Yuanqu also said that Yanling Chu would not care about our mundane affairs. I think this is a kind of state of cultivation. I wondered why he was helping me, and I didn't seem to have much in touch with him. When I have the opportunity in the future, I would like to ask in person. ”

"When you say this, it is true, when he entered the Tao at the age of fifteen, you were not yet born, and in terms of friendship, the number of times you have met each other is only a handful." Zhong Limu looked puzzled and pondered.

As a result, I haven't thought about the result for a long time, so I just don't want to, as long as I don't have any ill will towards his sister. However, he remembered another thing and sighed: "If he hadn't been obsessed with Taoism, he might have become the prince of the dynasty a long time ago." I heard my father say that on the day he was born, the emperor was overjoyed and personally gave him a name, and now the saint has been canonized as the crown prince. It's just that he has no intention of politics since he was a child, and later he insisted on entering the Tao. ”

"Auspicious from the sky?" The corners of Ling Xiao's mouth hooked up a playful smile, obviously not believing it very much. That's just a vanity made by the people who wrote history in the past in order to flatter the monarch and show their extraordinary, and she has seen a lot in the history books.
