Chapter 24: Horseback riding
"Nothing is right."
Xie Lingxu's face was cold, and his expression was particularly unapproachable when he was thinking too deeply:
"To say that this is a single case, there is nothing wrong with closing the case like this, but the point is that this is the nineteenth homicide, but the relationship between the last two cases and other homicides, I haven't seen it at all until now, and it is too simple for the serial murder case to be closed like this."
"Do you suspect that Boss Li is not a murderer?"
Xie Lingxu's mind suddenly appeared in the way the proprietress was crying and crying, and what she had said. Shook his head
"I don't know, I only know that people like Boss Li can't kill nineteen people."
Xiao Qixin: "Could it be that I really want to think like the boss lady said, the murderer has someone else, killed someone and then blamed Boss Li?" β
Xie Lingxu's heart sank: Could it be that we have been in the trap set by the murderer all the time and led by the nose?
"No, things are strange, and we can't make up our minds so early. Xiao Qixin, tomorrow we will investigate the previous case of Boss Tong. β
The emperor suddenly pulled down Xie Lingxu's right hand holding his left arm, and dragged her to a stumbling moment, Xie Lingxu stared at the emperor with an inexplicable expression, thinking about what kind of madness this person had.
The Emperor: "You can't go tomorrow." β
Xie Lingxu pulled out his hand: "Why?" β
"Because, we're going to the horse race tomorrow!"
"What?"
"Didn't you say okay a few days ago, go to the Wind Singing Forest with me."
Xie Lingxu was very speechless about the emperor's indifferent style of acting: "Nineteen people have died, where did they come from to go to horse racing, we are still investigating the case!" β
"Didn't I find out nothing after checking this for a long time! You might even have an idea when you go out on horseback riding. β
"But the Emperorβ"
"Anyway, I said, if you don't go, you're resisting!"
Groove ......
The morning light was faint, and the withered blades of grass fell with a little dew and swayed in the breeze, and they looked like they had no strength.
Shen Su kicked open the door of Xie Lingxu's bedroom with a "bang", and said in his calm voice:
"Don't hurry up, the emperor is waiting for you to go to the horse race!"
Xie Lingxu's last nerve last night was thinking about the meaning of Chu Xiu's insinuations in his words, but as long as one nerve was online, he couldn't sleep peacefully, he was mentally active for most of the night last night, and finally fell asleep in a trance, but the emperor was going to ride a horse early in the morning, and Xie Lingxu secretly his eight ancestors.
Xie Lingxu, who was so sleepy that no one was a ghost or a ghost, just packed himself up, stepped out of the door, and saw that the emperor was already waiting at the door, thinking to himself Why didn't you see you so active when he was about to go to the court, and he was more energetic than anyone else when he didn't do his job.
The emperor waved his hand at Xie Lingxu: "Ling, hurry up, the carriages are waiting outside." β
"Didn't you race horses in the afternoon?"
"In the morning, you have to try it first, and you have to prepare for the activities."
Groove ...... It's quite professional.
"Feng Minglin is quite far from the palace, and it takes an hour to drive!"
Xie Lingxu thought to himself that the big families really burned money to eliminate disasters, and they just led a horse around the imperial city in the palace to sneak around, and they had to go to great lengths to run so far, and then thought about it, in fact, the emperor was idle, and if he didn't practice kung fu and didn't watch the twists and turns, he had to find nothing to do all day long.
Turning to the main intersection, Xie Lingxu was immediately shocked by the mighty marching team in front of him. About a hundred or so guards raised their heads, all of them were pale, straightened their backs and rode neatly on their horses, Xiao Qixin and Chu Xiu and others drove their horses around the gorgeous and delicate carriage motionless like statues, Xie Lingxu felt that this posture was hard core or not, it was so golden.
The emperor raised his head: "It's not comfortable to ride a horse for so long, so you can ride in the carriage with me." β
Xie Lingxu's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Your Majesty." β
Thinking that the emperor is still very good, I can't help but feel that he looks exceptionally good today, and the ends of his hair are a little playful.
followed the emperor into the carriage, Xie Lingxu raised his eyes and couldn't help but smack:...... Why is the king there?
King You's hand holding the teacup staggered, looking at Xie Lingxu's expression, he knew what she was thinking, and said in his heart My carriage I'm not here. Then he took an unhurried sip of tea and leaned against the carriage with a blank face.
The emperor approached King You's side and almost sat down on the side of his clothes, but King You moved to the side with a disgusted expression, looking to the side, thinking that out of sight is pure.
Xie Lingxu sat opposite the two of them, only to feel that as soon as he got on the stool and leaned against the carriage, sleepiness hit him like a tide, and his eyelids were heavy before he knew it.
"Brother Mo Heng, look, the morning glow on the horizon is so beautiful!" The emperor was turning around at this moment, lifting the curtain and poking his head out to look at the morning sun in the distance.
"The sky in the north is more magnificent than what you see in the imperial city." King You ignored the emperor, thinking that a person like him would never be able to see a truly beautiful scenery in his eternal life.
Xie Lingxu buried his head and muttered silently: Labor and management don't want to sleep, and they are not sleepy at all......
Helplessly, his body softened a little bit very honestly, and the bumps and shaking on the carriage made people feel even more sleepy, Xie Lingxu thought that he was defeated by the Sandman, and simply closed his eyes honestly.
King You raised his head inadvertently, but Xie Lingxu, who was in front of him, leaned on the carriage with his head buried, his broken hair covered half of his face, his closed eyes converged on the usual sharpness, the curved slender arc looked quiet and beautiful, the lines between the eyebrows were very smooth, and the eye sockets were more deep, and the corners of the lips were slightly curled, faintly revealing the rebelliousness in the latter's bones.
The wheels in front of him were crushed with gravel, and the body shook violently, Xie Lingxu woke up from his sleep, and when he opened his eyes, he looked at King Shangyou with an unknown look at his gaze, Xie Lingxu didn't pay attention, and looked at him lightly for a few seconds, then closed his eyes and fell asleep. King You's heart palpitated, and he inexplicably felt that his body was a little hot, so he took a few sips of tea on the side and let out a deep sigh.
After sleeping for nearly two hours, Xie Lingxu had countless dreams, in the dream, he returned to modern times for a while, and then went back to ancient times, the pictures were intertwined and overlapped, the meaning was difficult to understand, Xie Lingxu carefully wrote down every detail, but when he woke up, all the memories were fleeting, and only the pain of brain swelling remained.
When he opened his eyes, Xie Lingxu deeply realized the devastating damage to the back of his neck due to his improper sleeping position, and it took a long time to straighten his neck while holding the back of his neck, and when he raised his eyes, the emperor was tilting his head to look at himself before he raised his eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. The look of King You on the side was complicated, and Xie Lingxu thought to himself that when he fell asleep, he must have been tossed by the emperor.
"Spirit, you finally woke up, and I thought you had passed out."
Xie Lingxu moved his neck: "I slept too late yesterday." β
The Emperor: "However, the way you are asleep is quite pleasing to the eye." β
King You's skin was like a little reddened on the ground, and Xie Lingxu secretly scolded him, thinking to himself, Your Majesty, you can't be ashamed, and King You can't listen to it.
When he arrived at Fengming Forest, Xie Lingxu saw that this was a private racecourse, in addition to the wide racecourse, there were hotels, restaurants, and tea shops around a series of places for the rich to enjoy.
As soon as the emperor and the others got out of the carriage, they saw a person dressed as a retinue sticking over and said in a low voice; "Your Majesty, King You, Wanfu Jin'an, King Shang is already waiting in the Leisurely Pavilion, the little one will take you there."
Shang Wang ...... Xie Lingxu faintly felt that this Shang King was not a simple character, and asked Chu Xiu quietly: "This Shang King, who is it?" β
"The emperor's brother, Luo Shang."
"Ah......" Xie Lingxu faintly smelled the smell of money and power.
"Then this Shang King, do you want to seize power?"
Chu Xiu was stunned for a moment: "Huo, you really dare to say anything!" However, these people are too deep in the city, how do we who are supposed to protect our families and defend the country know what they think in their hearts. β
Xie Lingxu knew that when Chu Xiu said that, he was not just referring to Luo Shang, but to all the ambitious officials in the palace. I thought that the emperor's stupid white sweet is simply the tender meat in the mouths of this group of jackals, tigers and leopards, and there is no scum left that will be bitten by others if he is not careful, so he can't grow snacks, don't send it to other people's bloody mouths, if his ability is really not enough, just rely on Shen Su, and he can still save a small life.
Although the season has reached late autumn, the leisurely pavilion is still surrounded by green trees and birds singing, which shows that this homestead is indeed carefully cared for and carefully maintained.
Xie Lingxu saw three rows of guards sitting inside and outside the pavilion from afar, and through the gap between people, he saw a young man in his early twenties dressed in purple clothes, leaning leisurely on a wooden chair with soft cushions, this person must be Luo Shang, Luo Shang leisurely took a small bite of pastries on the table to get a little corner, Xie Lingxu thought to himself whether he was biting or licking, and felt that this person must be making a fuss.
After walking in, Xie Lingxu finally saw Luo Shang's appearance clearly, and felt that he did not have much resemblance to the emperor, except that the curvature of the eyebrow bone was the same as that of the emperor, and other places were completely long in different directions, it seems that the genes of the emperor were not very strong. The emperor is handsome, but from some angles, he is full of anger; But this Luo Shang, with a sharp chin and fox eyes, looks like a wave out of the sky, Xie Lingxu hates this kind of appearance the most, and only feels that he will vomit it when Luo Shang looks at him more.
Seeing that the emperor came to him, the king of Shang stood up unhurriedly, and said in a strange voice of yin and yang:
"Minister, see the emperor, how is the emperor in the near future?"
Xie Lingxu saw that he was about to twist three times when he got up, and he couldn't wait to step forward and give him a big mouth.
"I'm okay, aren't I going to race with King You today!"
King Shang turned his head and saw King You standing behind the emperor, and laughed so hard that people's hearts tightened
"King You, I haven't seen you for a long time, the military has been a little busy lately, right?"
King You's expression was cold: "Don't bother the king of labor." β
"Hehe, the king is still so unsmiling. Yo...... There's a little girl here. β
Exercise......
King Shang's fox eyes were too slender to laugh, which made Xie Lingxu feel quite uncomfortable.
"Let's go, King Shang, let's get on the horse and run away first, and see if there is any regression in horse skills." The emperor held on to the sleeve of the king of Shang and said.
"Your Majesty, then please!"
