"Your Royal Highness the Prince, in order to prove my sincerity, you might as well look at one thing first." The maid took something out of her sleeve.

Wei Jin did not leave anyone in the temple.

He personally stepped forward and took the so-called "sincerity" from the hands of the palace maid, and after he saw it clearly, he immediately tightened his jaw.

"Wei Minghua, what do you mean by this?!"

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, don't get excited." The corners of Wei Minghua's lips curled up.

There was a hint of malice in her eyes, like a cat teasing a mouse under its paws.

"Since I have chosen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to cooperate, of course I have to be open and honest. Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want me to hide something? ”

"Is it open and honest, or is it threatening Lonely!" Wei Jin's forehead was covered with green muscles.

Wei Minghua chuckled: "It depends on what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks." ”

Wei Jin clenched his back molars, his face was cloudy, his fingers clenched into fists, and then they kept loosening, and then clenched into fists, and kept repeating.

"Okay, Lone agrees to cooperate with you." Although Wei Jin was unwilling, his current situation was difficult to ride a tiger, and he couldn't allow him to say no.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really didn't disappoint me." Wei Minghua took a deep look at the man standing behind the bookcase, and the sarcasm in his eyes flashed.

It's really unimaginable that someone like Wei Zhao would give birth to such a stupid son like a pig, or is the Chen family's bloodline so strong?!

Wei Minghua returned to his residence, and the people in the house couldn't wait for a long time.

"County Lord, are things going well?" A gruff-sounding voice asked.

"It went even better than expected." Wei Minghua sat down at the table.

The room she lived in was unusually rudimentary.

In addition to a plank bed, there was only an old wooden table with a broken teapot and an inferior teacup.

The dignified county lord is now reduced to living in the lower room, especially when he saw Wei Minghua drinking the teacup, the people in the house almost cried.

"County Lord, I have wronged you."

Wei Minghua wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and said with a light smile: "It's good to have a life to live, what grievances are there to talk about." ”

"Did the prince say when to act?" The man in the room asked.

"What's the hurry!" Wei Minghua pursed his lips and said lightly: "Always give him a little time to think about it." I've been waiting for so many years, and it's not too late. ”

"The subordinates miscalculated, and there is no county lord who can calm down." The man who spoke said embarrassedly.

"The big deal is that the fish die and the net is broken." Wei Minghua listened to the man's compliment, and he didn't have any smugness.

Compared with these shadows of his father, Wei Minghua is much calmer and more pessimistic.

After all, after staying in the deep palace for so long, she knew better than anyone how terrible the emperor on the throne was.

"By the way, is there any news from the southwest?" Wei Minghua put away his thoughts and looked sideways at the people in the room.

The man was dressed in black, with a face towel covering his head, revealing only two thick, black eyebrows, which were drawn with charcoal at first glance, and even the man's voice was deliberately disguised.

"County Lord, until now, neither our nor the King of Funan have found Xie Han's body, according to the opinions of his subordinates, the chance of Xie Han escaping is five out of five."

The indifferent look on Wei Minghua's face was gone, her expression was extremely complicated, and after a while, she said, "This person must not stay!" ”

"Yes, County Lord."

After the people in the room left, Wei Minghua still maintained the posture of sitting at the table, and the whole person seemed to be immobilized by a spell, stiff like a puppet.

After a long time, she slowly covered her face and let the crystal tears fall from her fingers. Since the death of her father, she has not shed a single tear, but at this moment, she wants to let go of her weakness.

Wei Minghua is the youngest daughter of the crown prince, and there is only a four-year difference between him and Xie Han. Since she was sensible, she secretly promised this amazing cousin.

Obviously, her aunt and grandmother, Princess Ping'an, had agreed to the marriage, but Xie Yu and his wife did not agree.

In the past, Wei Minghua couldn't understand that as the daughter of the prince, she was favored by her father, and when her father ascended the throne, she would be a princess, whether it was in terms of identity or appearance, she was worthy of Xie Han's cousin

It wasn't until the death of his father that King Yong, his uncle, entered the capital, and he was like a lost dog, constantly avoiding the investigation of the court, that Wei Minghua knew the reason.

Wei Minghua felt that she was very ridiculous, she actually fell in love with the son of the enemy.

And Xie Yu's death, of course, was the result of the conspiracy between Xie Jin and Wei Jian, but it also had her own handiwork, she and Xie Han had a grudge against her father, but now, when she gave the order to "kill Xie Han", why did she feel sad and breathless.

Although she has lived in the deep palace for a long time, the rumors about the abnormal love between Marquis Jingping and his wife can still reach her ears through various channels.

In Xie Han's life, she was just an inconsequential cousin. But in Wei Minghua's girlhood, Xie Han occupied everything she had, and her dreams, her sweetness, and her sorrow were all related to this cousin.

To this day, she still can't forget it.

……

Xie Han, who was thinking about Wei Minghua, didn't notice anything. He was lying on his back in the forest, his face was pale, his lips were cracked because of the long-term lack of water, and if he accidentally got his saliva, it was a hot pain.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of medicinal herbs in the jungle, Xie Han's ability to heal is very strong, and the injury on his arm has long been healed.

After resting enough, he got up from the ground with difficulty, cut the grass stalks with the wood knife in his hand, put them in his mouth and chewed them, and then spit them out.

I have to say that the juice of the grass is bitter and astringent, and after swallowing it, not only did I not feel thirsty, but my throat was hot and painful.

Xie Han held on to the trunk of the tree and limped forward in the forest.

Suddenly, there was a squirming movement in my ears. It is not surprising that tigers appear in such a dense forest.

If it was normal, Xie Han didn't feel afraid.

Xie Han fought with a tiger when he was fourteen years old, although he received a claw on the shoulder, and it took half a month to get better. But the fierce king of the jungle had his throat cut by Xie Han.

Xie Han smiled bitterly, but now he is so weak, once a fierce beast appears, he will only become its meal.

Did you just accept your fate?! Xie Han was not reconciled. He pinned the firewood knife in his hand to his body, and although his body was weak, Xie Han still used his hands and feet at the same time, and chose a relatively thick tree to climb up.

Halfway through the climb, Xie Han's hand loosened and almost fell. Fortunately, Xie Han's reaction was not slow, and his legs clamped the trunk of the tree, like a gecko, firmly attached to the tree.

Looking at the ground that was not too far away, Xie Han bit the tip of his tongue fiercely and continued to climb up......

Just then, a beast's roar came from the bushes.

The blades of grass under the trees shook.

Xie Han lowered his head and met the gaze of a spotted tiger with a white forehead.

"Roar ......" The tiger's throat let out a roar that shocked the mountains and forests, and even the trees that Xie Han was holding seemed to tremble.

The spotted tiger looked at Xie Han hanging from the tree, the fierce light in the beast's eyes was revealed, it showed its sharp fangs and scarlet tongue, and then it roared, jumped up on the ground, and pounced towards Xie Han on the trunk.

Seeing that the spotted tiger was about to grab Xie Han's leg......

At the last moment, Xie Han climbed the nearest branch with both hands, and his body jumped into the air......

It has to be said that once a person is cornered, his potential is unlimited. Xie Han was clearly at the end of his crossbow, but this leap allowed him to successfully jump onto the branches.

The white-fronted spotted tiger under the tree let out an angry roar, raised its front paws, and continued to leap upwards, and after realizing how it could not reach its prey in the tree, the fierce beast with a certain amount of intelligence raised its front paws and slapped the trunk desperately......

The big tree shook for a while, and even the branches with Xie Han hiding made a rustling sound, as if they were overwhelmed.

Xie Han's eyes were dark, and his face was as heavy as water. The beast probably felt provoked, and refused to give up until he swallowed himself.

And the branch that Xie Han accommodated couldn't last long at all.

This is really a tiger falling in Pingyang and a dragon trapped in the shallows! Xie Han smiled bitterly.

But Xie Han has never been a person who sits still, even if he is mortal, he has to struggle for a glimmer of life!

Xie Han pulled out the firewood knife on his body and clenched it silently, a pair of bleak peach blossom eyes burst out with a strong look, like a pine and cypress born to the sun, with unshakable perseverance.

Just as the white-fronted spotted tiger was pacing restlessly beside the tree.

Xie Han clenched his back molars tightly and jumped down from the trunk, aiming the firewood knife in his hand at the tiger's neck.

It may be that the fierce beast is out of the perception of danger, and the white-fronted spotted tiger suddenly turned its head, and the green light of the beast's pupils reflected the figure of Xie Han holding the firewood knife and falling from the sky......

The tiger roared and pounced towards Xie Han......

The knife cut through the tiger's flesh and plunged deep into the bones......

The ferocious beast let out a roar of pain, slapped its two claws on Xie Han's shoulder, and twisted to fight back......

Xie Han gripped the handle of the firewood knife hard and let out a low roar, but the hard blow he had just done had exhausted the last trace of strength, and now there was only a futile struggle......

The fishy smell spread on Xie Han's face, and the white-fronted spotted tiger bared its sharp fangs and bit at Xie Han's throat......

Xie Han's pupils dilated suddenly, and the furry face of the beast appeared in his eyes.

Xie Han closed his eyes dejectedly, and the warm pictures of the past days kept flashing in his mind, his wife grinding ink for himself, the longevity noodles that his sister cooked for herself on her birthday, the sensible eldest son and second son, and the youngest daughter who was always in trouble......

"Whoosh-" The sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air exploded in Xie Han's ears, and warm blood sprayed on Xie Han's face, making his eyelids tremble.

Three arrows were fired in succession, and the tiger that pressed on Xie Han's body almost didn't struggle, and it had already collapsed......

Xie Han opened his eyes.

The man in front of him was dressed as a woodcutter, but his upright posture, masculine and handsome face, calm and resolute eyes, all showed that the woodcutter's dress was just his disguise.

At this moment, the man held a longbow drawn into a full moon in his hand, and he still maintained a posture of guard. Xie Han's gaze fell on the three feathered arrows stuck in the tiger's body.

The sharp arrows look like they are made of dark iron, and they have barbs on their shoulders, which are clearly only available in the army.

Xie Han didn't have time to rejoice in the rest of his life, and in the face of the man in front of him who looked very dangerous, his mind once again tightened into a string.

Li Mu put down the longbow in his hand, and after seeing the peach blossom eyes on the man's face that were very similar to the former Yonghe County Lord, Li Mu was already very sure that he had finally lived up to the queen's trust and found her brother.

"In Xia Li Mu, dare to ask Your Excellency if you are the Marquis of Jingping?" Li Mu clasped his hands into fists and said very respectfully.

Li Mu! Even though he didn't know who the man in front of him was, Xie Han immediately knew the identity of this person after hearing the man report his name.

This person should be far away in Liaodong, or the capital, but suddenly appeared in a deep forest in Funan, Xie Han had to think about it.

According to the grudges between this person and the Xie family, I am afraid that they are friends and enemies.

But since he has been called out of his identity, if he denies it, he will appear to be cowardly.

Xie Han's eyes were dark, and he said lightly: "It's exactly below." ”

After confirming it again, Li Mu's tense heartstrings finally relaxed.

After perceiving the vigilance of the Marquis of Jingping, Li Muliang held the token in his hand.

The man's pupils on the opposite side instantly constricted, and the muscles of his whole body tensed, like a fierce beast ready to attack.

"Marquis Jingping, this token was given to me by Mrs. Hou." After Li Mu saw Xie Han's constantly bleeding shoulder, he immediately guessed that Xie Han's action just now had pulled the wound on his shoulder, and hurriedly explained.

"Benhou's wife gave it to you?" Xie Han raised the corners of his lips, as if Li Mu had said something very funny.

"If Ben Hou is not mistaken, you and your sister have even exchanged Geng posts, and the wedding date has been set, but there are complications in the marriage. How can you not hate in your heart! Why does Benhou's wife believe in you? ”

Although Xie Han didn't know how Li Mu got this token, he didn't believe a word about Li Mu's words!

"Master Hou, Mrs. Hou and I really have no intersection. I am ...... Entrusted by the queen's mother, she came to Funan to find the Hou Ye. ”

Li Mu subconsciously paused when he mentioned Xie Yanhe.

Although it was only for a short moment, it was captured by Xie Han. He was stunned at first, and then a trace of realization arose in his heart, and his eyes looked at Li Mu, full of incredible light.

Is it what I guessed! This Li Mu, for the sake of his sister, even threw away his net worth and his life, just because of his sister's request?! Is there still such a fool in the world? Oh no, infatuated lover!

"Do you have proof?"

Xie Han knows how good his sister is, otherwise he would not have let His Majesty risk the world's disapproval and make her queen.

If my sister hadn't made a marriage contract with the prince, I'm afraid that the threshold of the Xie family would have been stepped on by the matchmaker who came to the door!

Although Xie Han questioned it, he already believed most of it in his heart.

Li Mu let out a sigh and endured the embarrassment in his heart and said, "Brother, do you remember the peach wine we buried under the peach blossom tree?" This year is the twelfth year, right? ”

The expression on Xie Han's face flickered.

At that time, my parents were still there. During the Chinese New Year, I accompanied my father and mother to drink, my sister was still young, although she was hungry for alcohol, but her mother did not allow her sister to drink, afraid that her sister would drink a good one.

The younger sister was unwilling, knocked on the door of her wing room in the middle of the night, and asked herself to accompany her to the wine cellar to steal wine, and to bury the peach wine under the peach blossom tree, and wait until she grew up to drink it.

Xie Han had already forgotten about it, the days before his parents were too good, and after his parents left, Xie Han deliberately let himself not think about it, so that he could have the courage to go forward.

Father and mother are both dragons and phoenixes, and his sister is still young and a girl, he has to bear the burden of the Xie family, and he can't insult his parents' reputation.

But now, through Li Mu's mention, those long-ago memories rushed into his mind, and Xie Han's face turned slightly pale.

He bit the root so that he didn't let himself show a strange expression.

"My sister asked you to come to Funan to find me?" Xie Han didn't understand why his sister trusted Li Mu so much, but at present, Li Mu did not live up to his sister's trust.

"Master Hou, drink some water to moisten your throat first."

There are too many legends of Xie Han in the capital.

"Mo Shangren is like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world", these two poems are about the former Jingping Marquis, and now the Jingping Marquis, until now, there is no more brilliant character than Jingping Hou in the capital!

But the man in front of him had a scruffy beard, his clothes were in tatters, his long hair was all knotted, his hoarse voice was like a tattered bellows, his face was pale, and his lips were chapped. In addition to those star-like eyes, where can you see even half a point of the rumored noble son's demeanor!

Li Mu didn't know why, he actually felt a little funny in his heart. I don't know if those women in the capital will have their dreams shattered when they see the Marquis of Jingping in front of them.

Just as Li Mu was in reverie, Xie Han unceremoniously took the water bladder in Li Mu's hand and poured most of the pot down.

The throat, which had not been flooded for two days, was like a "long drought and a rain", and it was moisturized like never before, Xie Han wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and then he felt that the whole person was alive.

"Thank you." Xie Han closed the lid and threw the water bladder to Li Mu.

Li Mu caught it, took out spirits, gauze, gold sore medicine and other things from his body, compared the wound on Xie Han's shoulder, and asked politely: "Master Hou, can I help you bandage the wound?" ”

Although the atmosphere between the two of them was a little tense and weird, Xie Han was not pretentious, hugged his fists towards Li Mu, and said sincerely: "Thank you." ”

After helping Jingpinghou with the medicine, Li Mu found dry food, handed a steamed bun to Xie Han, and said with a smile: "The people here feed on rice, and I asked your subordinates to help make this steamed bun." ”

Xie Han took the steamed bun, although he was very hungry, but he hadn't eaten for a long time, he didn't dare to gobble it up, and after chewing it carefully, he swallowed it in small bites......

It wasn't until he finished eating a steamed bun that Xie Han spoke: "Have you contacted Yun San and them?" ”

"After Miss Yunsan learned that you were missing, she sent a message to Jingzhong while looking for your whereabouts. Later, after discovering that there were no clues, Miss Yunsan took people to explore the Funan Wangfu at night......"

Before Li Mu could finish speaking, he was rudely interrupted by Xie Han: "Stupid! She's hitting a stone with an egg. ”

Li Mu thought of the woman who called herself "Yun Sanye", who had suffered a serious knife wound on her arm, but she was still able to talk to herself without changing her face, and even arranged her next actions in an orderly manner.

Li Mu couldn't help but say a good word to Yun Sanye: "Master Hou, Yun San girl is also concerned about chaos. As the dead soldiers of the Xie family, for them, the life of the master is the most important. ”

Xie Han took a deep breath, and knew that his anger was unreasonable.

However, the accumulation of several generations of the Xie family, after this battle, if you still want to enjoy wealth and prosperity, then you can only reveal the hole cards to Your Majesty without reservation.

Before Xie Han came to Funan, he had already imagined the worst-case scenario. But since ancient times, it has been a quest for wealth and danger, in order for his sister to be a little more confident, Xie Han knew that Gu Jiuheng was joining forces with His Majesty to pit himself, and he still agreed to go on this trip in person.

Come to think of it, this is what Your Majesty wants.

While uprooting the Duan clan from Funan, he pulled out the remnants of the rebel king in the court, and at the same time cut off the minions of the Xie family. Three birds with one stone, this is the emperor's mental technique!

"Fang Cai made me lose my temper, which made Brother Li smile." Xie Han reined in his thoughts, and apologized to Li Mu in a light tone.

"Master Hou, can you still go? Do I need to carry you on my back underneath? Li Mu didn't take Jingpinghou's attitude to heart.

Because of the marriage with the Xie family, in the heart of Marquis Jingping, he is probably a despicable villain who takes advantage of people's danger, which is also undeniable for Li Mu.

Because what he did was indeed against the way of a gentleman!

"Just hold me." Although Xie Han let go of his prejudices against Li Mu, it was a matter of a man's dignity, no matter how seriously he was injured, it was impossible for Li Mu to carry him, not to mention that he was not injured in his leg.

"Yun San, what about them? Do you pick up outside? ”

Xie Han was supported by Li Mu, and asked breathlessly while carefully paying attention to his feet.

"Today, Qinglongwei arranged an assassination, and it was on Jilong Mountain, which is the mountain where we are staying now." Li Mu said.

"Assassination?" Li Mu's words brought a lot of impact to Xie Han, in the realm of Funan, the only person who could use Qinglongwei to assassinate was Duan Yi, the king of Funan.

"No, there are other forces behind Duan Yi, wouldn't it be a surprise to do this!"

Xie Han's bent back suddenly straightened, and this time he pulled the wound on his shoulder again, and the red blood oozed out of the snow-white gauze.

"Master Hou, be careful." Li Mu hurriedly persuaded.

Xie Han took a deep breath, his face was terrible, his tone was anxious, and he pushed Li Mu with his hand: "You don't have to worry about me, find a way to inform Qinglongwei." ”

"Master Hou, don't worry about it yet." Li Mu thought of the news that the Zhao brothers had secretly revealed.

Although he knew that there was no one in the forest, Li Mu still lowered his voice and said, "The person who led the team this time is said to be the leader of the dark guard of the Qinglong Guard. ”
