Chapter 547: Tracking Down the Assassins

Hearing Yi Yu's words, Wen Ling was a little curious, "Yi Yu, when did you believe these unpredictable words?" ”

Yi Yu was stunned for a moment, feeling that he was unconsciously brought in by Zhang Tianshi's words, and said after a while, "Princess, didn't you say that such things would rather be trusted than not, and it is always good to be prepared?" ”

"Even if he said that I might be in trouble in the near future, didn't he say that I wouldn't meet him? He said it, can I avoid it? Wen Ling sighed, "In the past, my mother said that only when I am old, some things I can't change, and I don't have the energy to deal with them anymore, will I hold things on the destiny of heaven, in fact, all I ask for is comfort, to be honest, I don't believe this." ”

"But...... That Heavenly Master ......," Yi Yu wondered.

"Emperor Jin is also an elderly person." Wen Ling whispered to the rain road.

Yi Yu's eyes widened.

Her own princess is on someone else's territory, and she can still say such things, and she is not afraid of offending the emperor.

Wen Ling smiled.

She didn't have any interest in the affairs of the Jin Palace, anyway, she didn't plan to stay here forever, after all, Gu Xun would come to marry her and then take her out of Mocheng, wouldn't he?

Wen Ling glanced at it, "However, there is indeed something strange in this Jin Palace. ”

In this Jin Palace, there are many eunuchs and few palace maids.

Although it is not ruled out that there is no female protagonist in the harem, more eunuchs are used and less palace maids are used. But Wen Ling had to say that a large part of these eunuchs were martial arts, and she saw many of them on the way here.

Because the eunuchs of Qi were castrated in their early years, they would not be sent to training, and there would also be Praetorian Guards in the palace. Eunuchs are used more in the harem, because if all the palace maids are used, it is inevitably a little inconvenient to run errands with some strength, but there are many concubines in the harem, and it is not suitable for men to haunt often, so eunuchs are used.

Because the eunuchs wander in the harem, from a certain aspect, it also restricts the eunuchs to men and women, the eunuchs are like real men, with great strength, and kung fu, and control the place where the emperor sleeps, you must know that the person who manages these eunuchs is never the emperor, but the eunuchs, and the Jin Emperor is so relieved?

But in the end, this is also the habit of the Jin Kingdom.

Wen Ling didn't think much about it, all these things have nothing to do with her now, in the Jin Kingdom, she was only worried about Gu Xun, and now she heard the answer that Gu Xun wanted to know, but she didn't plan to tell Gu Xun, maybe, when Gu Xun came back, she would have to think of prevarication.

After the annual banquet, Wen Ling returned to the embassy, and Mu Xi also mentioned Zhang Tianshi to Wen Ling.

"In the palace, in addition to the great eunuch Kang Yi beside Emperor Jin, it is this Zhang Tianshi who is very much loved by Emperor Jin."

"Uncle deliberately mentioned this Zhang Tianshi to Chang'an, is there anything strange about him? Today, Chang'an also met him. Wen Ling didn't hide it.

Mu Xi shook his head, "I just think he's a little strange, we have just arrived, there is too little news to find out, my uncle will leave in ten days, and you will be the only one at that time, my uncle is not at ease." ”

Wen Ling frowned, "Does my uncle have any suspicions?" ”

Mu Xi walked to Wen Ling's side and knocked on the table, "From my uncle's point of view, there are too many things in the Jin Kingdom that are strange. First, the speed at which the Jin State recovered the Four Kingdoms was too fast, and now we have not received any news of the riot, of course, this may be that the Jin Emperor deliberately concealed it from us. ”

Hearing this, Wen Ling couldn't help but straighten up and furrowed his brows.

"Uncle, what does this mean?"

Mu Xi glanced at Wen Ling and said solemnly, "The wind and rain are coming, and the mountains are full of buildings." ”

There is nothing to do now, maybe someone is dealing with it, or maybe they are plotting something, Mu Xi doesn't know, this is a matter of the Jin Kingdom, and it has nothing to do with the Qi Kingdom, but it has something to do with Wen Ling, who will stay here.

Wen Ling nodded, "Chang'an knows, Chang'an will be careful." ”

"Second." Mu Xi paused, "This Zhang Tianshi is different. ”

"Chang'an thinks it's very strange, but Chang'an thinks that he is related to Emperor Jin, but Chang'an ......"

"The matter has nothing to do with Chang'an, but it may be related to the second prince." Mu Xi said, "Do you remember those two grandmothers today?" ”

Wen Ling nodded, "Remember." ”

"You are wearing a jade pendant given to you by Gu Xun, even if you know, how can you deliberately mention it." Mu Xi paused, "That Mama Zhang is at least not from the second prince." ”

Wen Ling's heart fell a beat after hearing this.

She had forgotten about it.

When she met Ouyang Cheng, Ouyang Cheng also concluded the relationship between her and Gu Xun because of Gu Xun's jade pendant. Today, Mama Zhang said that she watched Gu Xun grow up, but she clearly pointed out that she had Gu Xun's belongings in front of the palace people. To be honest, what does this kind of thing mean to others, it is no less than when Gu Xun met for the first time, when he saw Gu Rin's jade pendant on her, he concluded that she had something to do with Gu Rin.

Gu Xun is still like this, what will others think.

Thinking of this, Wen Ling finally realized something, and hurriedly took off the jade pendant and handed it to the string qin, "Put this away and look for it to see if there is anything similar to it." ”

It may be too late, but it's better than nothing.

Mu Xi saw Wen Ling's arrangement before continuing, "In the Jin Kingdom, the prestige of the eldest prince is very high. ”

Wen Ling blinked, nodded for a while, and said, "Yes, the palace is full of people, and the people praise it." ”

Mu Xi looked at Wen Ling seriously, and tapped his fingers on the table, "But the eldest prince has been missing for three years." ”

Wen Ling furrowed his brows.

"In the three years since the eldest prince disappeared, there are still people touting him. When he was in the Qi country, his uncle also got the news that the eldest prince had a very high reputation in the Qi country, and from birth to the present, he seemed to be the pride of the sky. On the contrary, the second prince is unknown and no one cares, and my uncle does not deny that this eldest prince is indeed a genius, but he has disappeared in front of people for at least three years, but why has he never fallen out of everyone's sight. Mu Xi asked.

Wen Ling didn't think there was anything abnormal, "Because...... Everything is the plan of the Jin Kingdom......"

"But the eldest prince has indeed been missing for three years." After all, Mu Xi is old and has been on the battlefield for a long time, and now he has been instructed by Yu Wenhao to investigate and deal with some hidden dangers for Wen Ling before leaving, so that Wen Ling's road to Jin Guo in the future will be easier.

"Chang'an, I don't understand what my uncle means." Wen Ling shook his head.

Mu Xi thought for a while and said seriously, "Uncle is not a civil official, but before my uncle came, King Wen'an reminded my uncle at this time, so my uncle will send someone to investigate." The eldest prince of the Jin Kingdom has been missing for three years, and it looks as if he is missing, but he has never been out of everyone's sight, and behind it, there must be someone who is advocating for it. ”

Wen Ling thought for a while, and his little face showed disdain, "Then Gu Rin is thoughtful, and it is possible to do such a thing for the sake of his own reputation." ”

"But what if, didn't Gu Rin do it?" Mu Xi said.

Wen Ling furrowed his brows, "Who else could it be." ”

Who can do such a good thing for Gu Rin?

Who doesn't know that winning the hearts of the people is like a boat with a tailwind?

"Uncle can't find the reason, but he has to draw a lone army on the march."

"Alone?"

"Hmm." Mu Xi nodded, "It's like there are two ambush roads in front of you, one is difficult to defend and the other is difficult to attack. Ten generals guessed the local route, and nine generals thought that the enemy would take the first route, but the first general must make a second guess and prepare for it. ”

So they assumed now, what if these people weren't arranged by Gu Rin?

After all, Gu Rin disappeared for three years.

Wen Ling couldn't help but think deeply.

"In the past three years since Gu Rin disappeared, Emperor Jin has relied heavily on this Zhang Tianshi and his personal eunuch Kang Yi. As for Gu Xun, in the past three years, he has often traveled back and forth to the military camp, as for what kind of manpower Gu Xun has, my uncle thinks, you should know it easier than your uncle. Mu Xi spoke.

Wen Ling nodded, "Thank you uncle for reminding me, Chang'an knows." ”

After Mu Xi left, Wen Ling's brows furrowed again.

The entire Jin Palace is very strange, and it is not impossible for my uncle to say a few suspicious points, but it is really difficult to investigate them in a short period of time.

Xianqin saw Wen Ling's headache, so she took the initiative to step forward and rub Wen Ling's acupoint, "The princess doesn't have to worry about so much, and the princess herself doesn't like to calculate." The queen said that the princess is smart and brave, and no matter what happens, the princess can face it. ”

"When did my aunt learn to be so flamboyant." Wen Ling smiled after hearing this.

Yi Yu made up the bed and smiled at Wen Ling, "There is no flamboyance, the princess is smart, everything is a little clear." ”

After a while, Xianqin turned out a jade sword-shaped jade pendant from the box, "Princess Fang Cai said that she wanted to find a similar one, but in the princess's box, there are few sword-shaped things, and the slave and maid turned over for a while, and they couldn't find anything else, although the color of this one is not very different, but one is white, one is cyan, and when you look at it from a distance, it is still the same, and the patterns on the sword are also different, but if others don't look carefully, they can't tell it." ”

Wen Ling took the jade sword-shaped jade pendant that he found on the stringed qin, "This is a gift from my sober cousin." ”

"Yes...... It was sent by the princess when she was ten years old for her birthday. ”

Wen Ling was stunned for a moment, stroking the jade pendant, "I don't know what happened to my sober cousin now." ”

Both Xianqin and Yi Yu consciously did not mention this topic.

When they left, the whereabouts of the county lord of Guoan were unknown, and it was rumored that they would die nine times and live a life, and they only hoped that the county lord would be auspicious.

Because of what Mu Xi said, Wen Ling changed the jade pendant and prepared to shake it.

It happened that at the palace banquet, several noble ladies handed Wen Ling a post, inviting Wen Ling to go to enjoy the winter plum five days later, and Wen Ling agreed. That day, the grandmother deliberately mentioned the sword-shaped jade pendant, so she should also let others see what the sword-shaped jade pendant looked like.

Wen Ling changed his clothes in a low-key manner, and asked people to prepare a sedan chair to go, at least no one outside knew that this sedan chair was the sedan chair of the princess of Qi Kingdom.

The sedan chair was halfway through, but it suddenly jolted violently.

Wen Ling almost fell out of the sedan chair without a single horizontal.

But on the path of the sedan chair, there was a small alley, and several people suddenly jumped out of it, blocking the sedan chair driver, so the sedan chair was bumpy and violent.

"How did you get so caught up in the middle of the road?" Yi Yu outside the sedan chair was also angry.

"We are ......" The man's voice was high a moment ago, but the moment he saw Yi Yu, his tone changed abruptly, "There is an assassin in the house, and I am busy tracking down the assassin and disturbing the girl, I am very sorry." ”

"Is that you?" Yi Yu saw the man's face clearly, and his voice was suspicious, but he thought that Wen Ling didn't want to cause trouble, so he said, "That's it, this is a market, there are many people, be careful." ”

"Yes." The man said.

Wen Ling didn't open the curtain of the sedan chair until after the person left, and only after the sedan chair got up again did he ask, "Yi Yu, who is it?" ”

Yi Yu said, "It's the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it is said that an assassin has appeared in the mansion." Ah, it's the guard next to the prime minister of the Du family who came to find the princess that day......"

"Stop the car!"

Wen Ling hurriedly said after hearing this.
