Wang Yun, the sixth lang of the Wang family, is the son of her eldest sister Xie Hanyun's maiden family, and is also the son of the Langya Wang family who lives in Wuyi Lane with their Xie family.

Because of his noble background and innate talent, Wang Yun enjoyed a good reputation when he was young, at the age of seven, he was able to write, and at the age of sixteen, he was famous for a song "Peony Fu" to Jiankang City, and the poetry style he created was soft and beautiful, long at the end of the point, which opened the precedent of the literary collective of "one official and one episode", and won the attention of Xiao Tong, the prince of Zhaoming, and later became the subordinate official of the East Palace of the prince of Zhaoming.

It's a pity......

Xie Ling was still thinking about it, and suddenly a scolding voice came from his ears: "Xie Ling, what's the matter with you?" The letter was sent two months ago, and your eldest sister's gift is about to arrive, why are you still here? ”

Raise your eyes and see that Wang Yun's face has come to the front, don't look at Wang Yun's beautiful appearance of "clear in the bright moon and bright moon, elegant in the green mountains and clear water", usually when talking with people outside, he is also a calm state of "galloping horses facing the wind and not changing his face", but when he was with her, he was always "stingy, bad-tempered, and calculating" The true temperament was revealed, and when she was young, she was often so angry that her face was red and her neck was thick, and she often sued her in front of her grandfather.

In her previous life, she looked down on a stingy woman like Wang Yun, and she also showed contempt for him many times in his career, but in the end, when Houjing attacked Jiankang, this man refused to leave Jiankang with them, and chose to live and die with Jiankang Shimin, such a stubborn temperament, even she had to admire.

"What's wrong with you? It can't be stupid by a few wolf cubs, right? Seeing that Xie Ling was still stunned, Wang Yun said with a smile.

Qiu Shi answered: "Wang Liulangjun, you can't blame my family Langjun, as soon as my family Langjun received the letter from the eldest lady, he immediately set off from Luofu Mountain, but he always encountered some unpleasant things on the way, so he delayed the time." ”

"Something going wrong? What's the matter? Wang Yun frowned, looked left and right, found that there was one person missing, and asked, "What about Chunhua?" Didn't that servant serve Ah Ling with you? ”

"Chunhua she ...... She's dead. ”

"Dead?" Wang Yun raised his voice in surprise.

"Wang Jialangjun, look at these wolves, and this big insect ......" Qiu Shi pointed to the wolves that were killed in the middle of the night, and then pointed to a big tiger in the forest, and finally turned to the arrow feathers slanted into a poplar tree, "And that arrow!" ”

"What the hell is going on?" Wang Yun asked Xie Ling instead.

Xie Ling only said: "This matter is a long story, and I will pay tribute to my grandfather when I go back." Then he commanded Ling Ye, "Go and see the arrow, and give me the length of the arrow, a little deeper into the trees." ”

Ling Ye answered yes, and strode to a poplar tree, pulling out the arrow that had been shot at Xie Ling from the trunk.

"The arrow is 21 inches long, more than nine inches deep into the trunk, and the tail of the arrow is a mink." After some careful inspection, Ling Ye replied.

"Remember, the archer is six feet five inches tall, has four stone strength, has a slight limp in his left foot, and suffers from photophobia in his right eye. After returning to Jiankang, we will use this as evidence to investigate the murderer who attacked us today. ”

As soon as Xie Ling finished speaking, Wang Yun opened his mouth wide: "How do you know?" Did you see the murderer just now? ”

Xie Ling replied, "I don't see it." ”

"Then you ......"

"The direction of the arrow is three points to the left of the northwest side and four points to the right of Lou Su, and the speed of the arrow is thirty zhang per breath, and the person who shoots the arrow is ninety zhang away from our direction, so it can be inferred from this that his arm strength is three stones.

The height of the arrow is less than five feet, and it is known that the person who shoots the arrow is less than seven feet.

There are footprints in the forest, shallow on the left and deep on the right, so it can be judged that the left foot of the person is slightly lame. ”

As Xie Ling spit out sentence after sentence, Wang Yun only felt that his eyes were glowing with golden light, his brain was blank, and he was stunned for a while, before he continued: "What about the photophobia in the right eye?" How do you judge? ”

"Because the arrow is crooked!"

Wang Yun was already dumbfounded, and after a long while, he said with a smile: "Xie Ling, what have you learned in Luofu Mountain, you are about to become a master, right?" ”

"It's not possible to become a fine, it's possible to become an immortal, and you will admire me more and more in the future. Why don't you follow me in the future and be my little brother? ”

Xie Ling replied seriously, and patted Wang Yun's shoulder, quite a picture of a brother taking care of the younger brother, Wang Yun was angry, dumbfounded, and couldn't say anything to refute for a while, only Qiu Shi covered his mouth and laughed lowly.

At this time, Xie Ling also added: "Let's go!" Don't patronize and admire me in your heart, let's hurry home! With that, he jumped into the air and jumped on his horse, and took the lead in galloping forward.

Wang Yun was stunned for a while before he reacted, and he wanted to maintain his dignity and make a few words, but he saw that Xie Ling had already run away.

"This Xie Wulang is too deceitful, I will teach him a good lesson when I go back!"

Wang Yun rode on the horse hatefully, and took a group of Wang family tribes to follow the dust.

The sound of horses' hooves faded away.

As soon as Wang Yun and Xie Ling left, Chen Shuo followed closely and caught up, but when he saw the corpses of hungry wolves in the forest, he knew that Xie Ling had stopped here.

"Mr. Chen, are we still chasing? Further on is Jiankang. One of his guards asked when he saw that he was still pondering.

Chen Shuo glanced around, took in the traces of arrows on the trees and the footprints in the forest, thought for a moment, and replied: "No need, someone has come here to assassinate her before us, if we chase it again, we will become the scapegoat of others, immediately send a message to the Marquis of Leshan, cancel the original plan, and inform the king of Linhe that the plan has changed, and we will do it another day." ”

"Yes!"

After the group of secret guards responded, they quickly rode their horses and roared away.

Chen Shuo also wrote a note and tied it to the feet of a carrier pigeon, released it into the air, and only turned around and left after the carrier pigeon flew away in the direction of Jiankang.

And not long after he left, a silver arrow "swished" through the sky like a meteor, and then a mournful pigeon song was heard.

A white shadow leaped down from a towering tree, just in time to catch the carrier pigeon in his hand.

"Xiaolang, what are you shooting this bird for? Did this bird offend you? An old man asked, puzzled.

"The bird has no enmity with me, but the bird's father has an enmity with me, and I am destroying his descendants and shortening his back road."

Lao Suo was dumbfounded.

The man in white said that, the mask on his face fell, and his lips curved like peach blossoms in March, and suddenly the birds in the forest scattered, the leaves fell and the flowers closed, and the boundless grass and trees fell into an indescribable silence.

……

Wuyi Lane from the Jin Dynasty to the south, Wang Xie two families settled here, after three hundred years of precipitation, then become a prosperous and prosperous place.

Although there is no gold powder building, carved beams and painted buildings like extravagance here, it is Daiwa Qingling, the eaves of doors and windows, the corridor hangs down, the twists and turns of Manhui, the buildings covering an area of more than ten hectares are lined up one after another, forming a beautiful place on the south bank of the Qinhuai River.

At this time, the mansion of Xie Mansion is full of guests, countless treasured cherry blossoms and abundant cows and horses stop in front of the ear room of the compound, and the gorgeously dressed servants and maids stand in the two rooms of the road with incense in their hands, and the guests shuttle like clouds.

Different from the drumming and sheng outside the courtyard, in a courtyard on the east side of the Xie Mansion, a group of servants and maids were already anxious, and many of them knelt on the ground.

"It's been so many days, why hasn't Ah Ling come back yet, if she has three long and two short, I'...... How can I be worthy of my father and grandfather, and worthy of the ancestors and ancestors of my Xie family, this gift is not to be done. ”

It was Xie Hanyun, the eldest daughter of the Xie family, who was fifteen years old, who was already exceptionally beautiful and dusty, and also dignified and courteous, showing the noble atmosphere of the noble daughter of the family.

At this time, Xie Hanyun was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, wandering around the house several times.

"Lady, Da Lang Jun and Er Lang Jun, as well as Wang Liulang Jun have all gone out to look for it, it shouldn't be long before Lang Jun can be found." A maidservant replied in a trembling voice, "Please also rest assured." ”

"How can I have peace of mind?

No, this thing is not right, if according to Ah Ling's temperament and speed, she can rush back in a month at most, but it is already more than half a month late today, unless something happened to her on the road? ”

The more Xie Hanyun thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, so she returned the pearl hairpin in her hand and said to herself: "No, I have to go and find her back in person." ”

Just as he was about to go out, a woman wearing a peony twig with begonia sprinkled with gold pleated skirt, covered with a pusha robe, and her head changed into a virtual bun.

"Ah Yun, now that the hall is full of guests, and the ceremony is about to begin, how can you go out at this time, don't mess around anymore." After that, he hurriedly instructed the maidservant in the house, "Quickly dress up the eldest lady!" ”

The person who came was the Zhu family, which is also the stepmother of Xie Hanyun and Xie Ling, the Zhu family was born in the Zhu family of the four famous families of "Gu, Lu, Zhu and Zhang" in Wu County, and was only fifteen years old when he married Xie Jingxiang.

Xie Hanyun's gift of harmony was given by the Zhu family to add a hairpin flower for him, so the Zhu family also dressed up today.

Under her order, the maid in the house didn't dare to disobey, and hurriedly took a wide-sleeved embroidered curved deep coat, and was about to change it for Xie Hanyun, but Xie Hanyun stretched out his hand to hold it down.

"Mother, let my daughter say that the gift is important, but compared to Ah Ling's safety, it is insignificant, and I ask the mother to forgive her daughter's recklessness."

Xie Hanyun gave Zhu a salute, spoke without hurry, and acted in a measured manner, so that people could not find fault in private.

Zhu's face, and then Zhu's lips opened slightly, and he hurriedly helped Xie Hanyun to get up and said: "Why do you have such a vain gift in your own family, Ah Yun, mother is also for your good, you won a name at the banquet of the Prince's East Palace when you were thirteen years old, how many young people in this Jiankang City admire your talent, today's gift, mother invited so many guests to come, just to let them see your talent, if you can get the good words of famous people, gold and jade crowning, in your future future is the icing on the cake, but you can't find it." ”

Xie Hanhan smiled silently.

Zhu said again: "Don't worry about Ah Ling's affairs, this child is not as stable as you, he loves to play a little, and now he may be where to play, and his mother has sent a lot of people out to find it." ”

"I hope so." Xie Hanyun replied with a smile, and Zhu smiled and was about to take her hand, but she suddenly changed her words, "However, my mother's comments on Ah Ling are biased." ”

Zhu's face stiffened.

"Biased?"

"Yes, although Ah Ling is a little naughtier than me, but she is not a child who does not know the importance of learning and not knowing, she knows that I will come back on time, and if she has not returned, then something must have happened. Please forgive my daughter for not wanting to attend, and she has borne her mother's good intentions. ”

After speaking, Xie Hanyun no longer paid attention to Zhu's embarrassment, and strode towards the door, at this moment, a little maid hurriedly ran over and almost hit her, but fortunately stopped her feet in time, and hurriedly bowed her head to apologize to Xie Hanyun: "I'm sorry, big lady." ”

"Why are you in such a hurry, but Ah Ling has news?" Xie Hanyun asked hurriedly.

The maidservant took a breath, nodded again and again, and replied happily: "Yes, eldest lady, Lang Jun is back." ”
