Chapter 8: Cinnabar Moles (5)

Most of the people in Qin Tianjian are very idle, and the most idle representative is probably Su Xian, and now there is a peer Gu Peiqing, he surrounds Gu Peiqing all day long, giving him science popularization and various gossip rumors, Gu Peiqing feels that Su Xian is really condescending to stay in Qin Tianjian, if he goes out to be a storyteller, he will probably become an artist who has been passed down through the ages.

"In three days, the saint is going to hunt, then the autumn mountain hunting ground will be particularly lively, last year the four princes on the hunting ground in the limelight, hunting a bear, it is said that he also saw the white deer, just an arrow shot over the white deer ran, but everyone thinks that seeing the white deer is an auspicious omen, it is better not to shoot. It is said that the white deer has an elegant body, there is no variegated color on the whole body, and it exudes a faint light, and it may even be the mount of the gods, I don't know if I can see such a rui beast this year. Pei Qing, what do you say? ”

Gu Peiqing's words to him were left ear in and right ear out, Su Xian didn't care that Gu Peiqing didn't respond to him, he continued to chatter: "Last year, the saint made a bet with the prince of Chuan, which prince can hit the most prey, the saint gambled on the second prince, the prince of Sichuan gambled on the fourth prince, and the bet was the singer of Wanru country, but the prince of Sichuan took the singer back to the house, the princess of Sichuan was noisy and noisy, and she couldn't wait to eat the prince of Sichuan alive, and within a few months, the singer died, everyone said that it was done by the princess of Sichuan, poor singer, I've heard her sing. ”

"The prince of Sichuan is forty, and the princess of Sichuan has been married to him for more than 20 years, has the princess of Sichuan been this character for so many years?" Su Xian was very excited about Gu Peiqing's response, and he said even more energetically: "Princess Sichuan has always been this kind of pungent, Prince Sichuan has actually taken four or five concubines, but Princess Sichuan has always been like this, it has not changed, I heard that Princess Sichuan wants to divorce his wife, but Princess Chuan's mother's family is the Zhang family, she is still the sister of the general Zhang Huai, so Prince Sichuan does not dare to divorce his wife." However, it has recently been rumored in the city that the red silk girl in the Red Leaf Building is going to marry the prince of Sichuan, but there has been no movement on the side of the Sichuan Palace, but I am afraid that the prince of Sichuan who is a tigress and makes trouble will not dare to make any small moves. I also heard that the big boss of this Red Leaf Building, is Boss Su, who has a surname with me but has nothing to do with our family, he originally wanted to open his mouth, saying that if the Red Silk Girl marries into the Sichuan Prince's Mansion, she must have 10,000 taels of gold, and the Sichuan Princess's hand is dragging here, and his other businesses are a little unable to turn over, so let the Boss Qi, who is in charge here, let out the rumors, and five thousand taels of gold can be redeemed for the Red Silk Girl. ”

"I've heard about that, too." Gu Peiqing suddenly thought of the jade pendant in his arms, the two small fish next to each other. Sitting together that day, her open smile seemed to have no worries about the future, but he was more anxious than her.

"Five thousand taels of gold is still a bit much, there are so few people who have seen the Red Silk Girl, when the time comes, which rich and noble family in the city will spend money to marry home and find that the Red Silk Girl is not so beautiful at all?"

Gu Peiqing suddenly wanted to laugh a little, and said, "I don't know who would be so unlucky." ”

"Do you want to go on the day of the hunt? It's fun. Su Xian suddenly changed the subject.

"How can I be qualified to go, that is only for the children of royal and high-ranking officials, Young Master Su, don't forget that I have no relatives in the city, and I am only an eight-rank petty official."

"Who said you can't go, is there a way that I Su Xian can't think of?"

"Forget it, I don't know how to hunt, what can I do?"

"Even the county lord who took poison half a month ago can go, and you're afraid that you won't have anything to do?"

Gu Peiqing was stunned for a moment and said, "Doesn't Lord Qi still have to recuperate in bed, so that he can go to the hunting ground?" ”

"That girl is very difficult, she must go, and the saint dotes on her, so she agreed, just let the fourth prince accompany her more to ensure her safety. Pei Qing, aren't you investigating the matter of the county lord, then you can follow and maybe there will be new clues. ”

Su Xian really did what he said, and I don't know what method he used, Gu Peiqing's name appeared among the accompanying hunters. In fact, royal hunting is generally in autumn, and this time in spring it is said that hunting is more to enjoy a good spring, and the emperor also said that this spring hunt should not hunt too much prey.

Gu Peiqing and Su Xian lived in the same tent, 108,000 miles away from the royal family, not to mention seeing the Lord of Qi, on the first day, Gu Peiqing rode around a short circle and went back to the tent to read. Su Xian chatted with him when he came back at night, "How boring you are reading here, go out with me more often, and you can meet a lot of new friends." This hunt Lord Rui came, and after Prince Rui married Shen Feiqing, the two of them went out to travel, and now they have become the central characters when they come back. The happiest is Lord Qi, Shen Feiqing is her idol in her heart, today she is buzzing around Shen Feiqing like that bee, Shen Feiqing's sister Shen Feiming is also here, she is also sitting in the tent like you and can't come out. But the boy who invited her to go out with her lined up to fill the hunting ground. ”

"How do you know? You're the guard in front of her tent, huh? ”

"Pei Qing, you don't know, she is now the most sought-after woman in the city, needless to say his father Shen Duzhi, now that her sister is married to Lord Rui, whoever marries her can bring a lot of benefits to the family."

"It sounds a little pitiful, isn't it her status and family that everyone is looking at? If none of these are the case, who would want to marry her? ”

"What you said also makes sense, Shen Feiming's appearance is not as good as one-fifth of her sister's, she is not proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the female workers are also very average, but her personality is still very good, I grew up with her, and I found that she is good at debunking other people's lies, which is quite boring."

"No one is interesting, in your heart, it is estimated that Feng Xinyue is the most interesting." Gu Peiqing quipped.

Su Xian patted Gu Peiqing's arm heavily and said, "What are you talking nonsense, but Xinyue has been very strange recently, taking care of the county lord every day, and she doesn't like to dress up and hang sachets on weekdays, but recently she has started to apply things to her face and hang sachets." ”

"What's strange, Miss Feng may be enlightened before Master Su."

"What's the matter with you, don't make fun of me." Su Xian had a smile on his face, and he wanted to punch Gu Peiqing again, seeing his routine clearly, Gu Peiqing gently dodged away.

As soon as Gu Peiqing opened his eyes, Su Xian had already gone out, and he didn't know where to go. When he had washed up, he was going to ride out for a little more walk, and then he went back to the tent to read. As soon as he got on the white horse, he felt a figure running towards him, which was of course an illusion, and the figure roared past him.

"Red Silk Girl?" He called behind her, the chestnut horse looked like Pei Pei no matter how she looked, and Gu Pei Qing had a big head when she thought of such a name.

The horse stopped, and immediately the girl looked back at him, and sure enough, it was red silk. "Why are you here?" She asked.

"The noble prince of the city arranged for me to come in, what about you?" After Gu Peiqing asked, she immediately thought that it might be the prince of Sichuan who brought her.

"Master Gu is a detective, he can reason and reason." She grinned and pointed to the forest in front of her, "Come with me?" I saw Lord Qi holding an altar and riding in alone. ”

"Okay." Gu Peiqing patted the white horse, it seemed to understand what he meant, and honestly followed behind the red silk horse.

When the two horses entered the forest, they found that the mountain forest was lush and green, and the foliage of the trees shaded the sunlight, and the further they went, the darker and darker, and only one or two rays of light fell through the cracks in the branches.

"Lost it." Red Silk looked a little deflated.

Gu Peiqing turned over and dismounted, and carefully looked at the traces on the ground, "There are a lot of horseshoe prints here, and I can't tell which one is the county lord's horse." ”

"Look again, I am afraid that it is dangerous to enter this forest alone. It's spring, and if you encounter a bear that has just finished hibernation or a hungry beast or something, it's over. ”

Gu Peiqing heard Hongsi say this, blaming himself for not bringing a bow or sword on his body by the way, although he is not good at pulling a bow and shooting arrows and dancing knives and swords, but he can also fool twice at a critical moment, and now he and Hongsi have become walking delicacies when they meet the beast.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise in the bushes, and both of them became alert.

"What's that?" Hongsi approached Gu Peiqing and asked in a low voice.

Gu Peiqing shook his head, both of them were holding their breath and concentrating on their surroundings, but after that sound, there was silence all around, as if the sound just now was their common hallucination. Gu Peiqing felt that the two of them were too exposed to themselves standing in this small clearing, and pointed to another bush not far away, signaling to hide in. Red Silk nodded, and the two slowly shifted their positions and crouched into the bushes.

"Was it a bird or something? Just like that, and then there was no sound. Red Silk whispered.

Gu Peiqing protected her behind him and said, "I don't know, let's wait." "Time passed minute by minute, and the two of them felt that they could almost unlock the security alarm, Gu Peiqing and Hongsi's horse had already eaten the grass on the ground on the side, and occasionally glanced at the two of them, and the eyes were like looking at two fools." My leg is numb, help me up. Hongsi grabbed Gu Peiqing's clothes.

"Don't worry, don't worry," Gu Peiqing grabbed Hongsi's hand, held her and said, "Slow down, slow down, how can you be the same as the elderly." ”

Hongsi was about to refute him, when suddenly an arrow shot straight over, and she was about to hit Gu Peiqing, she hurriedly pushed it, but it was still too late, the arrow grazed Gu Peiqing's neck, and then flew forward for a while and landed on the ground. Gu Peiqing's neck was bleeding like a stream at the moment, and Hongsi hurriedly went to cover the wound, but the blood flowed down from her fingertips, and she had no intention of stopping. Hongsi didn't dare to let go, she panicked for a while, and kept shouting Gu Peiqing's name, but Gu Peiqing didn't respond.

"Gu Peiqing, don't die, don't die." In addition to being afraid, she also had that indescribable pain in her heart, "Gu Peiqing, can you speak, open your eyes." "The boy just closed his eyes quietly, and his lips were pale, but he was exceptionally good-looking." Does anyone save us? She cried out, tears streaming down.

"Red Silk Girl, why are you crying now when you see the corpses so calm?" Gu Peiqing suddenly opened his eyes and smiled evilly, as if he was fine, "Don't worry about me, I'll be fine." He blinked, his voice quieter, "Don't cry." ”

Seeing him speak, Hongsi just let go of some of his heart, and looked at his eyes as if they were about to close, and the heart hung again: "Gu Peiqing, don't close your eyes, you listen to me, you look at me." ”

Gu Peiqing looked at her directly, looking at her tears, the almond's big eyes were full of his shadow, she sobbed and still kept talking, but what she was talking about, he didn't know anymore, and his consciousness began to be in a trance.
