Chapter 17 There is another hidden story

After telling Lin Qingji a few words, Xiao Mufeng and Lin Qingzhi walked out of Nanyuan one after the other, the sunset skipped the shadow of the tree and cast a light golden light, two rows of pear trees on both sides of the path were planted along the road, the pear blossoms were in full bloom, white as snow, the breeze blew, and the small petals fell, and then fell on the shoulders of the two and then sprinkled on the ground and turned into dust, Xiao Mufeng raised his hand and stroked the two petals of fallen flowers on the green silk on the top of Lin Qingzhi's head, the two looked at each other and smiled, their eyes were gentle and as clear as the blue water.

"Ah Zhi, things have been happening one after another recently, you have to pay attention to your body, don't think too much" Xiao Mufeng knew that Lin Qingzhi was already weak, and planning and contemplating was the most exhausting.

"You are the most important thing to pay attention to, I'm fine, it's just a little effort, but the emperor handed over the assassin and the theft of the Tai Hospital to you, although there is a shadow guard to investigate, but after all, it is not an easy errand, look at the blue under your eyes, it must be that you haven't slept much in the past few days, come with me to Yayuan to get some soothing incense, I just developed it a few days ago, and the effect is very good" Lin Qingzhi smiled lightly.

"Father has not been able to sleep well recently, I told him that the soothing incense you developed has a very good effect, and he also praised you for your ingenuity, I will take some and send it to him" Xiao Mufeng said softly.

"Okay," Lin Qingzhi replied.

Lin Qingzhi pondered for a while, and said softly, "Brother Mu, you and I know what the envoys of Wu State are doing in Beijing this time, and although we can deduce that Wu Guo may be the mastermind of the assassination, have you ever thought about it, there is no conclusive evidence at present, and tomorrow the envoys will face the saint, if the matter of peace is mentioned at that time, who will the emperor let marry Princess Singh" Lin Qingzhi lowered her long eyelashes to cover her eyes.

Xiao Mufeng stopped and stared at Lin Qingzhi, put his hands on Lin Qingzhi's shoulders and said, "Ah Zhi, I know your worries, but before the matter is clear, I will definitely try to drag my father and emperor from giving Wu Guo an answer, and I will also find out about the assassination as soon as possible, and I will also give justice to Zuo Xiang and Brother Qingji." ”

"You are in a hurry to go back to enter the palace to see the emperor" Lin Qingzhi also guessed Xiao Mufeng's thoughts, and felt warm in her heart.

"Yes, the Shadow Guard is already checking the identity of the Zoroastrian Right Protector, presumably there will be a result soon, since Murong Gongzi is willing to help, the matter of drunken red face should also have a result soon, and you have already sent Ah Da to check the crescent moon tattoo pattern, presumably you will soon be able to find out who the real murderer is" Xiao Mufeng looked at the clear pool water next to the pear grove and said with burning eyes.

The sky was getting dark, there was a thunder in the sky, a few silver snakes flew from the sky, and then it rained heavily, the rain knocked on the window and made a clicking sound, but a few black shadows flashed in a villa on the outskirts of Luoyang City, and then quickly entered the villa and closed the courtyard door.

Several people saw that the young man sitting on the main seat and showing off the crown of the robe and beads did not make a big salute, but just gave a blessing, showing that the identity of the black-clothed man who came was not low, and the handsome man who looked five or six points similar to Xiao Mufeng on the main seat was the third prince Xiao Mulin, but the oil light cast on his face was slightly gloomy, and he was holding a cup of tea to his mouth, and when he saw the two black-clothed men who pushed the door in, the corners of their mouths showed a faint smile, and said, "His Royal Highness King Ling is not harmed, this should be the famous Princess Singh, and it is really beautiful." , It seems that sometimes rumors may not be unbelievable" The corners of Xiao Mulin's mouth twitched slightly, at this moment, Xiao Mulin changed his flattering appearance with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, if there was no yin expression on his face, his eyebrows and demeanor would not lose his grace and nobility, if the prince and queen saw Xiao Mulin like this, he was afraid that even his jaw would be shocked.

"His Royal Highness King Mu has a reputation, His Royal Highness is extraordinary, if the great things can be achieved in the future, don't forget my Wu country's help" It was Princess Singh who spoke, in order to show sincerity, she did not change her appearance as before, and she looked even more beautiful under the dim oil lamp, but there was more sharp light in her bright eyes, although she was still wearing men's clothes, and there was more heroism in her beauty.

"Since there is something important to discuss, let's get straight to the point and don't go around in circles, among those masters sent to the Jin Kingdom a few days ago, one of them was unfortunately arrested, fortunately, these are loyal soldiers, and they will not spit out half a point if they are captured and tortured in time," Ling Wang Yang Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone was firm.

"Hmph, King Ling speaks better than he sings, I'm afraid that not every time you can have such good luck, even if you Wu Guo fails, there is no big loss, but if His Royal Highness fails, there will be nothing, and even his net worth and life will be put into it, is it that the dignified Southern Wu is so capable, even an unfavored prince can't be settled, I don't want to hear this word next time" Xiao Mulin gritted his teeth with a hideous expression on his face.

"If it weren't for Xiao Mufeng's side with the Shadow Guard and the two Jianghu people from the Zuo Xiangfu who appeared out of nowhere, this matter would definitely not have been missed, but His Royal Highness King Mu is in the capital, wouldn't he even notice that there is a Shadow Guard next to the brother who grew up together" Princess Singh looked at Xiao Mulin with burning eyes, but said in a calm tone.

"Okay, Your Royal Highness, Seventh Sister, no matter how much you say now, it won't help, the top priority is to see the emperor tomorrow how to make him agree to marry Seventh Sister and Xiao Mufeng, then you will be together every day, don't worry about no chance, just take a little more detours" Yang Jue on the side said quietly.

"My father has ordered the assassination to be handed over to Xiao Mufeng for investigation, fortunately, although the master is ambushed, he will point the commander to the prince and the queen, as long as the princess can kill Xiao Mufeng, this storage position will not worry about falling into the hands of others, this time I want my father to see that I am the most capable person, I want him to say in front of me that he has always underestimated my strength" Xiao Mulin's expression was gloomy, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

"If Xiao Mufeng finds out that the assassination was done by the prince, he will definitely bite the prince and not let go, and then the emperor will be furious, and now the relatives of the Wang family in the court have gradually withered, plus our people above the court ask for the order to abolish the prince, so that the first step can be achieved, and then the seventh sister will be responsible for solving Xiao Mufeng, and this time it involves the Chu State, I am afraid that the old emperor will also suspect that the prince will collude with the Chu State, and the relationship between Jin and Chu will inevitably break down in anger, and then His Royal Highness will be called the emperor, and after the annexation of the Chu State, I will divide the border with the Jin State and rule, and achieve a peaceful and prosperous era" After speaking, he couldn't help laughing with satisfaction, and Xiao Mulin on the side couldn't help but show a wistful smile.

It's just that the purpose of Wu is not simple, although every country wants to dominate the world, but it is just a combination of checks and balances, and does not dare to rashly send troops, otherwise other countries will fight together and the result may not be what will happen. Although Xiao Mulin knew the truth of the cold lips and teeth, and also knew that the ambition of the Wu State might not be just the Chu State, and helping him was just to take what he needed, but the enemy was no match for the discrimination and contempt he had received since he was a child, and under the fierce fire of hatred, it was nothing to cede a few states and counties.

"Maybe I'm thinking too much, but I always feel that things are not as simple as we think," Princess Singh on the side looked at the dancing candle flame and wrinkled her eyebrows lightly.

Just when a few people were silent for a while, there was a sound of tiles rubbing on the roof, and several people were startled, and immediately opened the door and jumped onto the eaves, followed by the sound of swords intersecting.
