Chapter 22: The Secret of the Wolf Card
The maids looked at the happy going out to play just now, but now they were as cold as ice, and Hu Lingye, who was sitting in the chair, didn't understand very much.
What kind of person is this who doesn't open his eyes, provokes her, and after coming back, he sits like this until almost bedtime, without eating or drinking, only occasionally kicking the corner of the table to relieve his anger.
"You all go out, I'm a little tired and want to rest."
"But girl, you haven't had dinner yet, and you can only eat the decoction after dinner, do you want the slave to get some food?"
"I said let you out, couldn't you hear?" Hu Lingye slammed his fist on the table, startling the maids, and retreated without saying a word, and went straight to Su Zhixi's camp.
"The fourth prince, go and take a look, I don't know who offended Miss Hu, it's good to go out in the morning, and when I come back, I'll be angry, no food or medicine."
"It's not that you don't know her temper, and she made it clear that I can't go against the wind without me going over. Go back and rest, and let her vent her own fire. ”
At the time of curfew, the entire barracks were quiet, only Hu Lingye's tent was brightly lit, Su Zhixi walked into the tent with food and hot medicine, Hu Lingye was talking to herself in anger, and did not notice Su Zhixi's arrival.
"Say that I want to eat swan meat as a toad, and don't look at who I am Hu Lingye, I'm not rare, what's so great about you as a stinky prince, don't think that being nice to me can get something out of my mouth, I'm not so stupid."
"Since you're not so stupid, why don't you be kind to yourself and take the medicine?"
Awakened by a sudden voice, he turned around to find Su Zhixi with a smile on his face.
"Why do you dare to come?"
"I'm here to curry favor with you, and then ask for news from you, why are you afraid?"
"I... What am I afraid of? ”
"I'm afraid that I will poison my food and medicine, don't worry, your life is so expensive, I won't do anything to you."
"You... Don't deceive people too much, be careful of me..."
"Be careful of you what? Be careful that you go back and find some guards to hunt us down, princess. ”
Su Zhixi's tone was very tough, and it didn't seem like a joke.
"When did you know my identity?"
"Yo, the princess is refreshing, so admit it?"
"My woman from the Western Regions is already frank, unlike you people from the Central Plains who pretend to flatter."
"It's a bit early to say this, you didn't break into the barracks at night that day for the rabbit, but for this."
Hu Lingye looked at the wolf card in Su Zhixi's hand, and for a while in her heart, she turned a few steps and pounced.
Su Zhixi dodged as soon as he dodged, and used his other hand to hold her firmly in his arms.
"What do you want to do?" Hu Lingye was powerless to resist, and her cheeks turned crimson with shame.
"It's still a princess with good martial arts, I guess you deliberately hit my arrow that day, trying to delay time and take the opportunity to find out about the situation in the military camp."
"You know all about it and ask me what to do, give me back the wolf card."
"Wolves? Are you saying that this is a military talisman that can command all the soldiers and horses of the tribes in the Western Regions? ”
Taking advantage of Su Zhixi's swaying, Hu Lingye took the opportunity to escape from his control.
"That's right, I'm here for this military talisman this time, and the four princes don't want to keep it for themselves."
"It's not that this possibility is impossible, it depends on whether the girl is willing to say the meaning of this rune, and I will naturally return it to you when I am happy."
"Okay, I can write you a translation of the rune, but you have to promise to let me leave here with the military rune."
"You don't joke."
Holding the translation, Su Zhixi kept admiring in his heart that the women of the Western Regions were really different from the women of the Central Plains, and it was rare that they could write so beautifully in this situation.
"Alright, now you can give me back the talisman and let me go."
"I can give it back to you, but it's getting late, let's set off tomorrow."
Su Zhixi threw the talisman into Hu Lingye's hand, left a sentence of "remember to drink medicine" and left the camp.
In the early morning of the second day, before the horn of the military camp sounded, Su Zhixi took Hu Lingye to the sentry post.
"This is dry food on the road, be careful not to be robbed by hungry wolves."
The corners of Hu Lingye's mouth moved slightly, as if she had something to explain, but in the end, she squeezed out a sentence "There will be no time in the future." ”
Without too much twisting, he turned around in a chic manner, leaving only Su Zhixi with a back.
"They're all right, but there's a little bit wrong, and I'm really moved by you."
After Hu Lingye left, Su Zhixi handed over the translation to Gui Longqin and Su Zhijing, and Hu Lingye did not appear in the following days, and the military camp returned to its usual calm, and this matter was gradually forgotten by everyone.
"Hey, what do you want?" Ink dye woke up Gui Longqin in deep thought.
"I remember what this rune meant." Gui Longqin relied on the memory in his mind to say the meaning of the rune, but he didn't expect that the secret passage was opened at this moment.
Looking at the dim glow of the torches on the wall, there was a winding path that went all the way.
The two woke up Xue Duyuan and discussed whether to go down to find out.
"I don't think there's a problem, since there are torches, it proves that there are people here." Gui Long Qin Road.
"No, what if there is an organ here, don't forget, what is our purpose, if there is a plot, how can you go to see your prince." The attitude of the ink dye also seems to be resolute.
"Big brother, you are well-informed, let's have an idea." The two looked at Xue Duyuan.
"What you said is very reasonable, but I think what the fourth sister said is more reasonable, this is in a remote place, this secret passage is obviously to prevent people who may attack them, but if it is a person in the rivers and lakes who is very strong in martial arts, it doesn't make sense for them to set up some organs here, even if there is a case, the second brother plus my kung fu is enough to deal with all this, I think there is nothing wrong with going down and taking a look."
After arguing like this, the three of them finally went down to the secret passage with torches.
This secret passage looked small and long from above, but when they actually walked on the road, they found that the road was large enough to accommodate two people side by side, and each step was neatly manicured, and there was no overgrown appearance, and it seemed that there were real people living here.
"Big brother, look at the mural on this wall, why have I never seen it."
"These paintings are all from the Western Regions, and when I was a child, I had a master from the Western Regions at home, and he was good at painting this style."
"The Western Regions? Isn't that where the barbarians are, I think we should not go down, if we do, we will really have no way back. ”
"Second brother, are you afraid? I didn't expect you to be so daring. Gui Longqin quipped.
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm a bachelor afraid of something, I'm not worried about you."
At this moment, several hidden arrows suddenly shot out of the wall, but fortunately, Xue Duyuan was quick and stopped in time.
"Beware of Someone"
