"Good me, I respect your choice." Xiao Zhenjia agreed, and glanced at Wuming.

Nameless killed Cui Zhengliang like he did not hesitate to seal Xiao Kuang's throat with a sword.

After Xiao Jing's death, Xiao Zhen's family pointed to Xiao Jing's corpse and said to Nameless and the two masked men in Geyi: "Pile his corpse and other people's corpses together, burn them with fire, and sprinkle the remaining ashes into the plum forest near the peak to raise plum blossoms." ”

"Yes." Nameless and the two masked men in Geyi hurriedly did so.

Xiao Qiongzhi and Xiao Zhen's family took the red apricot and returned to the prince's mansion first.

In the main hall of the front yard of the Prince's Mansion, Xiao Zheng was really playing chess with Prince Xuan, and the table was surrounded by Prince Zhao, Prince Yi, and Prince Kun.

Xiao Jinjia, Zhou Dayong, Zhou Duoqin, Zhou Duoniu, and Zhou Shishan are nowhere to be seen.

Xiao Qiongzhi curiously asked the housekeeper who was busy pouring tea for Xiao Zhen's house: "Steward Xu, what about my brother and my friends from Chu State?" ”

Steward Xu said: "Miss, the eldest prince accompanied your friends from Chu to accompany the princess to the lake to fish in the backyard. ”

"Oh?" Xiao Qiongzhi was a little surprised.

Zhou Meixing was snatched away by the man in white from Wan Yanhao's people, it stands to reason that Zhou Dayong, Zhou Duoqin, Zhou Duoniu, and Zhou Shishan should be waiting obediently in the main hall, and when they come back, they will immediately go together to find it.

How can you still have the heart to go fishing in the backyard?

She hurriedly said to Xiao Zhen's family: "Grandpa, I want to go back to the backyard first and discuss things with my friends in Chu State." ”

"Okay, you can go over." Xiao Zhenjia readily agreed.

In the backyard, Chen Lingfeng was sitting in the pavilion by the lake, taking Xiao Jinjia, Zhou Dayong, Zhou Duoqin, Zhou Duoniu, and Zhou Shishan to fish together.

In the big bucket beside them, there were at least ten fat crucian carp weighing three or four pounds.

After Xiao Qiongzhi approached with Hongxing, he first took a closer look at the fish in the bucket before he approached Chen Lingfeng and asked with a smile: "Mother, how many of the thirteen crucian carp in the bucket were caught by you?" ”

"Just one. Zhi'er, your brother and your friends from Chu are all good at fishing, and they are much better at fishing than me. Chen Lingfeng said, stretching out his hand and smiling at Xiao Jinjia, Zhou Dayong, and Zhou Duoqin.

Xiao Jinjia, Zhou Dayong, and Zhou Duoqin were originally fishing with their backs to Xiao Qiongzhi.

At this time, they had all heard the conversation between Xiao Qiongzhi and Chen Lingfeng, and they all turned their heads to look.

Among them, Xiao Jinjia hurriedly said to Xiao Qiongzhi with an excited face: "Zhi'er, you came just in time, Meixing was put back by the man in white, she just went to your yard to find books to read, accompanied by the second aunt's maid, you just need to walk a few steps, you should be able to catch up with them." ”

Xiao Qiongzhi was overjoyed, and immediately took the red apricot, turned around and walked in the direction of his yard.

Sure enough, after a while, the figure of Yahuan-Biqing beside Meixing and Chen Lingfeng appeared in front.

Hongxing immediately shouted at them: "Meixing girl, Biqing, wait a minute." ”

Mei Xing and Bi Qing heard it, quickly stopped and turned to look.

When she saw Xiao Qiongzhi, Meixing was very happy.

She trotted to Xiao Qiongzhi with a smile and said, "Little master, you're finally back." I heard from your brother that you quietly went back to help the prince interrogate those assassins, and I thought you would have to come back after a while. ”

Xiao Qiongzhi said with a smile: "Fortunately, my grandfather has a high level of interrogation, and he doesn't need my help at all, and the remaining black-clothed masked people will soon explain everything that should be explained." ”

"What about you? Mei Xing, how did you get put back by the man in white? ”

Mei Xing said: "When I was snatched away by the man in white from Wan Yan Hao's people, Wan Yan Hao sent someone to chase me for a while, but Wan Yan Hao's people were far inferior to the people in white, and the people in white quickly got rid of them. ”

Then the man in white led me to the valley in the direction of the stone pool. He picked up two stones, one on the pillar on the left side of the valley mouth, and the other on the pillar on the right. ”

"The two stone pillars immediately turned around in place and opened a hole, and the man in white was going to take me to the cave, but when he was about to move, a woman came out of it, very beautiful, wearing a pink dress, wearing a very delicate and beautiful jewel hairpin ring on her head, and the corners of her forehead on both sides were also pasted with golden flowers."

"I know who she is. I saw this woman in the treasure cave, and I saw it when I asked you to guard outside the small stone gate, and I used the red apricot method to open the small stone gate and enter the whirlpool. Xiao Qiongzhi hurriedly said.

"So, little master, what happened when you entered the small stone gate and met this woman?" Mei Xing immediately asked curiously.

It's a long story, Xiao Qiongzhi didn't want to stand on the side of the road with Meixing all the time talking, so she simply took her to her yard and told her about her experience after entering Xiaoshimen.

After finishing speaking, he asked her again: "What happened to the man in white at the hole under the valley mouth, after seeing the beauty?" ”

Zhou Meiqiong said: "As soon as the beauty saw the man in white, she greeted him, called him 'Ruan Qing', and wanted to talk to him, the man in white was very vigilant, used gestures to stop the beauty from talking, and then stretched out my vertigo point." ”

"When I woke up from my vertigo, I found myself sitting under the wall of the mansion opposite the Prince's Mansion. I thought that Yan Hao had led people to surround His Royal Highness the Prince, and it was very critical, so I went into the mansion to report the matter to the prince. ”

"After hearing this, the prince said that he already knew about it, so let me stay in the house with peace of mind and wait for the news. I couldn't sit still, so I asked for the consent of the prince and came to the backyard to find the princess. ”

"The princess was fishing by the lake, and when she saw me going, she left me to fish together, and later, Uncle Dayong and my brother Duoqin came over and talked about you, and at the same time, they also let me tell me about being taken away by the man in white."

"The princess heard it next to us and told us that Taniguchi's couplet she had seen in a folk book called "Yue Xian" that she gave you before."

"I was curious, and immediately asked her if she could let me come to your yard and look for that folklore. She agreed, and I came over. ”

"'Heaven and earth are the only me, and the stars are two neighbors.'" I seem to have a little impression of this couplet when you say this, so I'll take you to my study to find it. Xiao Qiongzhi's eyes lit up and said solemnly.

When she was in Taniguchi before, when she saw this couplet, she didn't remember that she had seen it, mainly because she read folk books and monsters, all of which were quickly brought by ten lines at a glance, and only remembered the general plot in her mind, and did not pay much attention to the specific sentences in the text.

However, "Heaven and earth are the only me, and the stars are two neighbors." "This couplet is a bit wildly written.

Now, Chen Lingfeng pointed out that this couplet has been seen in the folk book "Yue Xian", so it is easy to find.

She flipped through the shelves in the right corner of the study for a while, where strange books were placed, and soon found "Yue Xian".
