The eastern suburbs of the imperial capital, the Hunting Garden of the Son of Heaven.

The late autumn frost of this year, at the end of October, there were still lonely green grasses standing proudly on the withered yellow fields, but finally it was time not to exist, after a few bursts of horses' hooves, those green grasses that refused to give in to the season broke their lives, lying on the ground and dying.

Emperor Chengguang of the Yuan Kingdom, who died two months ago, indulged in lustful dogs and horses but neglected to exercise, and the huge hunting garden had not been to a few times at all, but the royal family of those important ministers who had been granted concessions often came to visit, some really came for hunting, some came for exercise, and some were not interested in birds and beasts, but they just regarded the hunting garden as a place for idle chat.

A female deer jumped and shuttled in the dense forest, as if she was being chased by the hunter very panicked, and after a sharp sound that broke through the air, the female deer broke her front legs and fell to her knees, raising a large cloud of dead grass and dust.

The man who was shooting with a bow and arrow in the distance jumped off his horse, looked at the injured prey but did not catch it, and threw the arrow into the quiver behind his back, and the old man who came after him smiled bitterly and put away the bow and arrow.

"Good boy, archery skills are becoming more and more exquisite, and in a few years you will be able to compare with the old man when he was young."

"Where am I like my father? The father does not need to draw a bow and shoot arrows at all when hunting, and he directly surrenders the prey with one mouth, which is a god-given ability. The young man looked at the old man with a look of admiration.

The old man was stunned for a long time, and then punched the man's shoulder: "Stinky boy, even your father has to lose two sentences, you should really let your master discipline and discipline well, this makes you arrogant, do you want to rebel?" ”

"It's my father who bragged first, so how can you blame me?" The man put on a smile and let out a long breath, "I haven't hunted for a long time, I'm almost rusty, this time I've been away for too long, and I even missed my father's birthday, my father won't blame him, right?" ”

The old man stroked his beard and smiled, and it was not difficult to see three points of smugness in the red light on his face: "Moqing, my father knows that what you are doing is righteous, even if you forget your birthday?" My father is too old to contribute to Dayuan, so I pointed out that you can inherit your father's business, and it is not in vain that I will send you away from home for many years. ”

At the age of six, he was sent away to learn literature and martial arts, and when he grew up and returned home, his father was no longer the majestic mountain in his memory, and his mother was not alive for some reason, is this fortunate or unfortunate?

Wen Mo quietly skipped the embarrassing topic, and looked at the sky in the distance: "How is the eldest brother?" Did the medicine I brought back last time work? ”

"It's still the same, it's raining on a cloudy day, and I feel terrible pain all over my body, and I wake up when I sleep at night, and I don't feel more and more energetic every day."

The not-so-good news made the father and son of King Dingyuan fall silent, and after a while, Wen Moqing covered up a gloomy look in his eyes and returned to normal: "I heard that not long ago, King Qinglian appeared in the Second Prince's Mansion and signed a contract to return all his property to pay for the army, and his father was also present at that time?" ”

"Well, in addition to me, there are General Zhao and King Hulian and others." Recalling the strange situation that day, King Dingyuan's long eyebrows twisted together, "It's strange to say, King Hulian reacted very violently that day, originally it was a good thing for the second prince to let King Qinglian sign the contract, but King Hulian made things difficult everywhere, and later wanted to ask General Zhao and others to ask the second prince to hand over King Qinglian to him for care, but fortunately, General Zhao also saw that something was wrong and did not agree." Later, I went to Gongzi Chu to ask about the specific situation, and King Hulian ran to King Qinglian to ask, but I didn't know how to make trouble, and I was stabbed by King Qinglian. ”

Wen Moqing raised his eyebrows: "King Qinglian stabbed King Hulian?" Why, they got into a quarrel? ”

"Who knows, when I and Chu Gongzi heard the screams and arrived, King Hulian was like crazy, no one could get close, I was worried that something would happen to him and I rushed to call someone for help, but when I came back, he fainted to the ground, and Chu Gongzi's hand was also injured. Chu Gongzi said that the king of Qinglian fled after taking advantage of his unpreparedness for a sneak attack, and later the second prince sent people to search the whole mansion, except for a few pools of blood found on the wall, there were no other clues, and he had no choice but to stop it. ”

After listening to King Dingyuan's narration, Wen Moqing was thoughtful and didn't speak for a long time. Seeing that his son suddenly lost his voice, King Dingyuan was a little unaccustomed, so he hesitated for a moment and asked carefully, "Did you leave home suddenly before, for the sake of King Qinglian?" I remember that not long after you left, the news came that Qinglian Palace had been slaughtered by gangsters......"

"Father, the disciples of Junzilou will not harm any innocent people." Wen Moqing did not hesitate to interrupt King Dingyuan, and his eyebrows and eyes were as firm as iron, "In addition to the demon girl, the Qing monarch side is the wish of the people and the expectations of many ministers with a still good conscience, I am just taking advantage of the emperor's serious illness to turn their expectations into reality, and it can be regarded as saving people who don't deserve to die - you should have heard that King Qinglian once asked the emperor to promise that if the emperor is mourned, she has the right to order some concubines and ministers to accompany the funeral." If we don't get rid of the Qinglian King as soon as possible, it's hard to imagine how many innocent people will die in vain. ”

King Dingyuan saw what King Qinglian had done, and he knew his son's temperament and the responsibilities on his shoulders, but when he thought back to all the things that had happened since the emperor was seriously ill, he always had an indescribable strange feeling.

Taking a deep breath and grabbing Wen Moqing, King Dingyuan lowered his voice: "Moqing, let me ask you, since you have decided to bloody the Qinglian Palace, why do you want to keep the Qinglian King?" It stands to reason that the most damned person is her, but instead of dying, she swaggered out on the Second Prince's Mansion, what is going on here? ”

"What's going on...... I also want to know what's going on, but unfortunately no one can tell me clearly. Wen Moqing closed her eyes and rubbed the corners of her forehead, and when she opened her eyes again, a complicated gaze flashed, "It's hard to say whether the woman my father saw is the Qinglian King or not, I'm looking around for someone or something that can prove her identity." As for why she was able to leave Qinglian Palace alive and appear in the Second Prince's Mansion, I think in addition to the fact that I deliberately let her go, my father should also ask Chu Ci. ”

Wen Moqing's words made King Dingyuan more and more confused, looking at his son blankly, and it was difficult to close his mouth with his mouth half open: "You...... Deliberately let her go? ”

A smile of unknown meaning appeared on Wen Moqing's handsome face, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised and cold, as if under that silent smile was the cold and freezing after late autumn, and the abyss.

"Father, don't always be busy with the boring trivial things in the court, it's better to go for a walk by the lake and see the old fisherman in your spare time, and you will naturally understand what it means to put a long line and catch big fish."

Honglu Prefecture, which is thousands of miles away, is so lively that it is busy in the drunken wind and snow moon building, and a loud sneeze startles the guests passing by.

"If you are a doctor, you can catch a cold? Or is it a gentleman who is talking to you in the bed? Do you want to help you take the pulse and warm your body? "There are strangers who don't know what to do.

Yan Liwu pretended not to hear anything, walked quickly through the main hall without squinting, and only let out a sigh when he reached the corner where no one was around, and put the medicine basket in his hand heavily on the table.

Even if Xiao Fengyue doesn't need her to accept customers' guarantees, those skinless and faceless prostitutes will still harass her from time to time, often saying some unbearable bastard words, and even stretching out her dirty hands, if she didn't always sink her face and scare away those disciples, I am afraid that she will be eaten up and wiped clean for more than a month.

When is such a day the end of the day?

Yan Li sighed tiredly, bent down to collect the herbs he had just bought, and did not notice that a dark shadow was quietly approaching behind him.
