Chapter 200: A Maddening Secret Letter
Before Lu Xuan could react, he took a delicate little whistle from Gu Huanli's hand.
"It's ......," she wondered.
"This is a horse whistle, you just have to take it to the east, blow the horse whistle when you pass through the woods, and naturally a fast horse will come out to meet you, and the horse has been prepared for you on the horse's back, so you don't need to worry." Gu Huanli explained.
"But I haven't had time to explain it to my family, so it's not good to leave so suddenly." Lu Xuan still hesitated, not understanding why Gu Huanli was so anxious.
But Gu Huanli's performance was far more urgent than she imagined, and she saw that he pushed Lu Xuan out without saying a word: "Don't worry, the king of your family will naturally send someone to say hello." ”
Urged by Gu Huanli like this, Lu Xuan didn't have time to think about it for a while, so he had to follow his words and walk towards the east.
On the way, he wanted to open the letter to see the contents inside, but looking at Gu Huanli's mysterious appearance, what was written in it must be a big secret, so Lu Xuan had no choice but to suppress his curiosity and hurry as soon as possible.
Shocked by Gu Huanli's sneaky appearance, Lu Xuan was also afraid that the slightest mistake would expose his ulterior secret, so he had to try his best to avoid crowded places and keep his head down as much as possible not to be recognized by others.
Xu was so anxious that he forgot to look at the road, and suddenly collided with the person on the opposite side who was also anxious to dodge.
"Ouch!" The two were knocked out a few steps away by each other.
Before Lu Xuan could speak, he heard a woman's voice on the opposite side yelling at him impatiently: "Don't you look at the road when you walk?" ”
Lu Xuan was about to open his mouth to apologize, but he found that the voice seemed a little familiar, and then raised his eyes to look at the other party.
"County Lord? How are you? Lu Xuan was surprised to find that there was really an acquaintance in front of him.
was asked by Lu Xuan, and Shen Xixu on the other side finally recognized her, and the anger on her face instantly dissipated.
"Lu Xuan? Why are you here? And what are you going to do in such a hurry? Shen Xixu asked rhetorically towards Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan didn't say much about Gu Huanli, but simply explained to her: "I'm going to the eastern suburbs to deal with an urgent case." ”
It's okay if Lu Xuan didn't say it, as soon as he said this, Shen Xixu's eyes instantly lit up: "Handle the case?" Can you take me with you? ”
"This ......" Lu Xuan hesitated, she hadn't read the contents of the letter given to her by Gu Huanli, and it was unknown whether the case was dangerous and whether it needed to be kept secret from everyone.
If she rashly agrees to Shen Xixu's request to take her with her, whether it is her or the case, I am afraid that Lu Xuan will not be able to afford it.
Seeing that Lu Xuan didn't answer for a long time, Shen Xixu simply took out his old skills and begged her:
"Ah Xuan, I beg you, I escaped from the house, if they catch me back, I will definitely not escape the reprimand of my mother."
But as soon as she said this, Lu Xuan didn't dare to hide Shen Xixu even more, if she was discovered by the eldest princess in the future, wouldn't she be unable to eat and walk around?
Lu Xuan hurriedly shook his head and refused, and then comforted Shen Xixu in a tone that he didn't have a backache when he stood and spoke:
"After all, the eldest princess is your mother, and she won't really embarrass you if she thinks about it, so you just go back and admit your mistake to him, and she will forgive you."
Shen Xixu denied impatiently when he heard this: "No, that's because you don't know my mother, she always thinks I'm still young, she doesn't allow me to do anything I want, and always imprisons me by her side, I escaped this time just to prove myself, so that she can take care of me in the future." ”
After explaining in this way, Shen Xixu begged Lu Xuan again: "Ah Xuan, I beg you, if I can help you find out the case this time, it will be considered my credit, and I will have an explanation in front of my mother." ”
Since she met Shen Xixu, she has indeed helped Lu Xuan a lot, not to mention that Lu Xuan has regarded her as a friend from the heart, even if it is just to repay her kindness, I am afraid there is no reason to refuse her at this time.
Coupled with Gu Huanli's urging in every possible way, I am afraid that this case cannot be delayed for a moment.
Lu Xuan also knew that he would definitely not be able to defeat Shen Xixu, so it was better to agree to her earlier, so as not to be entangled here in vain.
Lu Xuan nodded: "Okay, then you can go with me immediately." ”
Shen Xixu was overjoyed when he heard this: "I knew that Ah Xuan was the best for me." Then he hurriedly followed behind Lu Xuan.
The two followed Gu Huanli's instructions all the way to the east woods, and Lu Xuan tentatively blew the horse whistle he gave him.
Sure enough, a horse with luggage galloped towards him.
Before Lu Xuan stepped forward, Shen Xixu's eyes lit up, and then he walked towards the horse, and seemed to have a "flying shadow" in his mouth.
Lu Xuan was surprised, and always felt that Shen Xixu's "flying shadow" seemed to be the name of the horse.
But before she could ask, Shen Xixu looked back at her first: "Ah Xuan, are you going to help Uncle Huang handle the case?" ”
Lu Xuan nodded blankly, and asked "How do you know?" by the way.
I saw Shen Xixu stroking the horse's mane with a happy face, and then responded to Lu Xuan cordially: "Because I know that this is Uncle Huang's horse." ”
After responding to Lu Xuan, Shen Xixu seemed to realize that something was wrong, and then turned his head to look at her in surprise:
"But Feiying is Uncle Huang's favorite horse, I wanted to touch it when I was young, he didn't let me touch it, and now I can easily give it to you to ride, Uncle Huang is really partial."
Shen Xixu blamed Gu Huaili for being partial, but in his heart he was like a mirror, after all, Gu Huanli's friendship with Lu Xuan had been clear to her early on, what was it to give her a horse?
When Shen Xixu said this, Lu Xuan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and he didn't know how to understand this matter.
In her opinion, what Gu Huanli has done has always been elusive.
Lu Xuan explained perfunctorily to Shen Xixu at this time: "Maybe His Highness was worried that this horse would hurt the county lord, so he didn't let the county lord get close." ”
Shen Xixu didn't bother to listen to Lu Xuan's high-sounding words, in short, there were some things that she knew in her heart.
She then looked back at Lu Xuan: "Aren't you in a hurry to go to the eastern suburbs?" Let's go. ”
Lu Xuan reacted and hurriedly got on the horse, Shen Xixu was not good at equestrianism, so he could only sit behind her.
The two of them hurried all the way, arrived in the eastern suburbs before evening, and casually found an inn to stay, so Lu Xuan could not take care of opening the letter paper handed over to him by Gu Huanli.
originally thought that there would be a lot of important and confidential things written in it, and Lu Xuan was even worried about whether he would be able to understand his intentions smoothly.
didn't expect to open it, but there were only five words inside - "Answer Luo Mingrang".
Seeing this monotonous sentence, Lu Xuan simply felt that Gu Huanli was deliberately playing tricks on herself, just such a simple thing, she was urged to come to this point, this kind of boring thing is really only done by him.
No wonder Fang didn't let Lu Xuan open the letter in person, if she knew that this was the content on the letter at that time, she wouldn't be in a hurry to say anything.
Shen Xixu was also confused when he saw the content of the letter: "So my uncle didn't ask you to come here to investigate any case at all, just to answer this Luo Mingrang?" ”
It's okay not to say it, the more Lu Xuan talks about it, the more annoyed he becomes, but Shen Xixu is Gu Huanli's niece after all, and it may be inappropriate to say that he is not in front of her.
Lu Xuan forcibly suppressed his anger at this time, and nodded at Shen Xixu pretending to be calm.
Shen Xixu was even more surprised: "No, who is this Luo Mingrang?" Why do you have to answer it yourself? ”
Lu Xuan explained indifferently: "He is the envoy of Fusi in Dongchang North Town, and I only have one side relationship with him." ”
Hearing this, Shen Xixu couldn't help but laugh contemptuously: "It turned out to be a mere pacification envoy, what kind of big man should I be, the shelf is not small." ”
Originally, it was really nothing to just let Lu Xuan come over to answer, but now that Shen Xixu, the dignified Pingchuan County Lord, has been brought in, it really seems that Luo Mingrang's shelf is a little bigger.
But the matter has come to this point, everything has come, Lu Xuan is not the kind of person who will give up halfway because of a little resentment, he always has to find out.
She made up her mind by herself, and then sighed towards Shen Xi: "Your Highness has arranged it like this, I think there must be a reason for him, if the county lord thinks it is inappropriate, why don't I contact His Highness and send someone to pick you up." ”
When she came, Shen Xixu said that she was accumulating political achievements so that the eldest princess would be impressed, but now she thinks that there is no such opportunity, and staying here is probably a waste of her time.
Hearing Lu Xuan's decision to send himself back, Shen Xixu resolutely vetoed: "I finally came out for a trip, so I don't want to go back like this." ”
Looking at her dodgy look, Lu Xuan understood, and then leaned closer to her and asked with a mocking expression:
"So you're just trying to get out and play, right? What else do you say, I just believed your nonsense. ”
was ruthlessly exposed by Lu Xuan's careful thoughts, and Shen Xixu was a little embarrassed for a while.
Although the facts are already very obvious, Shen Xixu still tried his best to deny it: "No, didn't I see that you were poor to stay here alone and be kind enough to accompany you?" ”
Lu Xuan knew that Shen Xixu had always had a good face, she said so, and she didn't want to stop giving her the stairs, so she nodded with a clear pretense of confusion:
"Oh~ I see, His Royal Highness the county lord is really understanding!"
Seeing Lu Xuan's ridicule of himself, Shen Xixu was ashamed and annoyed for a while, and then gently punched her: "Ah Xuan, why are you like this." ”
Lu Xuan shrugged casually: "Huh? How am I? Am I trying my best to cooperate with you? ”
Only then did Shen Xixu realize that Lu Xuan was deliberately teasing himself.
