Tuoba Ze actually sat down opposite Mei Xiyuan in the past, and said quietly: "Because I know that Princess Qin, like Miss Lu, wants to disappear forever and needs help from below."

Hearing this, although his expression was still disdainful, the slightest sorrow in his heart slowly floated up and betrayed himself. I couldn't help but pick up the teacup and take a sip.

Seeing this, Tuoba Ze finally gasped, and then said to him with a calm face: "The matter has come to this, we might as well open the skylight and say something!" I can help the two of you go to Taohuadian Village to solve the woman with your own hands, and the chips I want are... In addition to the gold 10,000 taels, there is also a portrait of the guardian of Western Qin, I heard that it has been sent to the Qin Palace. Princess Qin is the only pillow person next to King Qin, I believe that this is for Princess Qin... It's not that hard! ”

Hearing this, Mei Xiyuan sneered and said, "You are really a lion with a big mouth!" He also said that he was not a profiteer! ”

"Of course, Princess Qin can also invite Gao Ming, go out of this door, and think that nothing has ever happened here today, and she has never seen Princess Qin." After Tuoba Zewu finished saying this, he poured himself a glass of wine.

Mei Xiyuan hesitated for a moment, spat out a turbid breath and said briskly: "Okay, your conditions, this princess agrees, and this princess will pay for this bargaining chip!" However, this princess has one condition, I can double the gold, but you must take that woman alive and come back to me. This princess must personally verify that you are behind before you can do anything to her, otherwise this princess will not pay you a penny. ”

"Okay, then it's decided, and it's really happy to talk about the deal with Princess Qin. However, there is no basis for words, so let's make a note! Come on, prepare pen, ink, paper, inkstone. ”

Tuoba Ze was in a happy mood for a moment, and after writing the contract in duplicate, he printed the handprints of the two of them.

Tuoba Ze respectfully handed one of them to Mei Xiyuan and said, "Come, this is your princess, I wish us a happy cooperation!"

Mama Zhao immediately stepped forward to collect it for her, but it was a coincidence, it happened that Tuoba Ze recognized the clothes on the cloud, otherwise Mei Xiyuan and Lu Tianjiao were really afraid that he had found the wrong person! The portrait of the woman on the missing person notice was covered with a veil, and who could recognize it if it were not someone who had known her before?

If there was no other way, Mei Xiyuan would disdain to cooperate with the profiteers of such a barbarian land. refused Tuobaze's invitation, and a person was personally sent out of the gate of the tea house and into the carriage.

On the way back to the palace, Lu Tianjiao accompanied Mei Xiyuan to share a car, Lu Tianjiao bit his lip tightly, wanted to speak and stopped, wanted to speak and stopped, and finally lowered his head and said nothing after several times.

As soon as Mei Xiyuan got in the car, she closed her eyes, as if she was closing her eyes to recuperate, but in fact, she was trying her best to suppress her already angry and complicated feelings.

Right now, the 20,000 taels of gold alone have almost exhausted half of her dowry. Fortunately, the queen mother was thoughtful at the beginning, and she was afraid that she would encounter many difficulties in Xiqin alone, so she made very rich preparations. Otherwise, I'm afraid that this time in that barbarian profiteer

will inevitably be humiliated in front of him.

And that Tuobazei, who is he? There are such means, and he dares to challenge the god of war in the spiritual sky, King Xuanyuan Han of Qin. Is he really so simple, just a merchant of the Northern Flame Kingdom? And Lu Tianjiao obviously didn't know as much about Tuoba Ze as she did, and at this moment, Mei Xiyuan's heart was extremely puzzled.

It turned out that the portrait of the guardian of Western Qin had already arrived in the palace, how could she find it? My father wanted that portrait too, so what kind of mystery was it?

Because both of them were preoccupied, before they knew it, the carriage had stopped in front of the solemn gate of the Qin Palace.

After getting out of the carriage, I don't know if it was because of the weakness of my heart or because I had been sitting in the carriage for too long, Lu Tian stared at the front with no focus, and his face was infinitely miserable as he walked while pondering, and he felt as if these legs were no longer his own.

Mama Zhao helped Mei Xiyuan to walk in front, she silently followed closely behind, and walked into the Shaohua Pavilion, as soon as Mei Xiyuan sat down, she suddenly came back to her senses and stepped forward to explain to Mei Xiyuan with an apologetic face: "Sister, I ......"

Unexpectedly, Mei Xiyuan showed a tired look and supported her forehead with one hand on the desk beside her, slowly stretched out her other hand and waved it weakly at her, and said in a deep voice: "Another day, you go down first."

Helpless, Lu Tianjiao had no choice but to lose his mind and silently returned to Yanqi Pavilion alone.

As soon as I entered the house, a guard knocked on the door with a scroll in his hand and said, "Miss Lu, this is a painting that General Cheng specially handed over to your subordinates before leaving, saying that your father gave it to you."

"My father, he has been to the palace?" Lu Tianjiao asked in surprise.

"On the night Dean Lu came, Miss Lu was not in the house, because the palace sent him over to deliver something to the prince. Therefore, he left only this painting and hurriedly returned to the palace to resume his life. The guard told the truth.

"I see, I see, thank you."

Hearing this, the guards were about to turn around and leave, but Lu Tianjiao suddenly asked again: "By the way, when will His Royal Highness King Qin return to the house?"

"His Highness's whereabouts have always been known only to General Cheng, and his subordinates don't know."

When the guards left, Lu Tianjiao walked to the side of the bookcase, slowly opened the scroll in his hand, and looked at every familiar line that fell on it affectionately.

From childhood to adulthood, every year during the Chinese New Year, my father would help her draw a portrait of herself with his memory, and it has never been interrupted for more than ten years. Thinking of all this, she couldn't help but quietly wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Looking at it, he suddenly seemed to have noticed a little abnormality in this painting, frowned and muttered to himself in a low voice: "Why don't the eyebrows and eyes on this year's portrait look like me at all, what's wrong with my father?"

Time passed little by little, and the light shining into the bookcase in the room through the window lattice gradually tilted, and Lu Tianjiao's heart seemed to slowly sink with the sunset.

At this time, on the mountain behind the Snapdragon Club, there are peaks and mountains, and the forests are combined, lush and green, just like a green barrier guarding its position is covered with a golden light veil, which looks very warm.

The scenery of mountains, mountains, water, forests, springs, waterfalls, gorges, flowers and so on are readily available, and there are pavilions floating on the top of the mountains and cypresses.

Right now, it's the peak season when the birds and flowers are singing and the cherry blossoms are blooming all over the mountains. The spring breeze blows in the mountains, one by one, row by row, white as frost and snow, bright as clouds, and the flowers fly lightly like clouds, which makes people look so comfortable!

At this time, Lan Xiang and Yan'er were walking on the way back from the mountain with bamboo baskets, and Yan'er said in surprise as she walked: "Sister Lan Xiang, I didn't expect that Snapdragon would have more than 100 kinds of camellia tweed in this small back mountain, it's really surprising!"

Since there are people firmly guarding the foot of the entire back mountain, and there are hidden guards in the mountain, there is no need to send someone to follow them all the time.

Ran Lanxiang didn't seem to listen to what she said at all, and she held a piece of grass in her mouth, looking thoughtful.

Yan'er was a little puzzled when she saw it, and she pouted, and said with interest again: "The stone dragon cave on Fangcai Mountain is as wide as one zhang in length and width, and the body of the stone dragon carved in the cave is not a dragon horn, but it seems that the body is particularly vigorous, looking at the sky, the front two claws climb up to the top of the rock, and the back paws grab the ground, and the momentum is volleying." The carved knife is rough and the lines are vigorous. The layout and composition are exquisite, and the carving techniques are either bas-relief, deep relief, or hollow, which is wonderful. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he glanced at the expression on Lan Xiang's face again, but Lan Xiang was still indifferent.

This time Yan'er was really angry, she immediately crossed her hands on her waist angrily, stopped and stopped, but Lanxiang continued to move alone, and walked far away, without realizing that Yan'er had already fallen behind.

So, Yan'er stomped her feet helplessly and frantically behind her, and said angrily: "Sister Lanxiang, what have you been thinking about these days, can you just hold it in your heart and say it, don't let Yan'er always act like a fool and not know what you are planning all day, okay?"

At this time, Lan Xiang suddenly came back to her senses and found that Yan'er had not followed, so she suddenly turned back and searched for it. Then he walked back to Yan'er's side with an apologetic face, stared at her with a smile for a long time, slowly took her hand, and said as he continued walking: "Yan'er, I told you that this is my own business. I don't want to drag you down, and I don't want you to worry about me, so I won't tell you. I'm so grateful to have you by my side. ”

Ran Yan'er was still unhappy, dragging Lan Xiang's hand without wanting to leave, and said distressedly: "But you don't think about tea and food all day long, you are restless, and your soul is unbearable, Yan'er looks uncomfortable, Yan'er is afraid that if you continue like this, you will definitely get sick!"

"Good Yan'er, don't be afraid, I won't die so easily if I have no revenge in this life!" Lan Xiang took Yan'er's arm and walked while swearing to her.

Hearing this, for some reason, Yan'er suddenly stopped again, and was stunned in place motionless with a sad face, and Lan Xiang hurriedly asked her, "What's wrong with you?"

Yan'er said gloomily in an instant: "Once, my young lady also called me 'good Yan'er' like you, but now she... Miss ......"

So it was, Lan Xiang also felt a tingling pain in her heart in an instant, bit her lip, gently leaned Yan'er's head on her shoulder, and comforted Yan'er who was already crying while caressing her: "Yan'er, don't cry, your young lady will definitely come back, she will definitely be."

As soon as the words fell, a sudden noise faintly came into the ears of the two of them from nearby.

So, Yan'er sniffed, straightened up and asked Lan Xiang, who was also puzzled, "Sister Lan Xiang, listen, what is the ......voice?"
