The burning candle gets shorter as the flame gets brighter.

Fires in many places lit up the room.

After learning that Zhao Hai had faked and spread the news that he was dead, Ling Xuan was very surprised. Unexpectedly, in order to lead himself out to avenge his brother, Zhao Hai had already done this job?

However, blood is thicker than water, he can understand.

But that's the only thing that can be understood, only the heart of avenging my brother, not the obsession of killing him.

Zhao Yang should be damned, besides, the gambling game is so, the rules are like this, no wonder he.

If Zhao Yang doesn't die, it will be him who dies.

Seeing Ling Xuan sitting here unharmed, Ling Wu's hanging heart completely relaxed, a smile gradually appeared on his face, and he was also much more energetic, as if many problems in his heart had been left behind by him, and his eyes stayed on Ling Xuan's body.

Baihu suddenly asked, "Your Highness, did you come back alone?"

Ling Xuan's eyes rolled slightly, and his face was as usual: "Yes"

The white tiger looked at Ling Xuan and asked, "Then did you encounter anything on the road?"

Ling Xuan thought for a moment and shook his head.

Bai Hu's eyebrows tightened, and he was puzzled, "Then this is strange." ”

Ling Xuan looked at the white tiger's expression, raised his eyebrows, and added, "I guessed that there might be danger on the way back, so I chose a long detour. I don't know what Uncle Bai's doubts are, maybe I know something. ”

Baihu said: "That's the case, Your Highness, on a relatively close road between Chang Python Mountain and Shengtian City, for your safety, the prince sent someone to place it there, but who knew that he was killed, not only that, but the ghosts and spirits sent by Zhao Hai to kill you were also dead, and they died very miserably." ”

Hearing the slain subordinate, Ling Xuan felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and after putting aside his thoughts, he pretended not to know and exclaimed: "Is it the four ghosts commonly known in the rivers and lakes?"

"Yes. ”

"I didn't expect Zhao Hai to hire them in order to kill me?"

In silence, Ling Xuan pretended to ask rhetorically, "Then who killed them?"

"The puzzling part is here. ”

The white tiger shook his head lightly.

Ling Xuan exhaled lightly.

The moonlight is like jade, and the silver light is dazzling.

It was about time to chat about another cup of tea, and it was late at night, and the air had become a little cold.

Ling Xuan yawned slightly, and said to Ling Wu: "Father, the child is a little tired, so go back to the room to rest first." ”

"Okay, you're on a day's road today, so you'll have a good rest. Ling Wu said softly.

"The child is gone. ”

Ling Xuan saluted and left the study.

Ling Wu looked at Ling Xuan's departing back, slightly frustrated, retracted his gaze, and instructed the black and white two: "You two go and investigate the cause of death, remember to act carefully, and don't let the Zhao Mansion know that the person who died is from my Xuanwang Mansion." ”

"Rui'er, you don't have to worry, go and get busy with you, remember not to leak the news that Xuan'er has returned safely. ”

"Yes, Father. ”

Ling Xuan returned to his room, closed the door, sat on the bed, and let out a long sigh of relief, as if relieved.

A lot of things were said tonight, but luckily there were no mistakes.

Ling Xuan doesn't like to lie, and he is not good at lying, but he is very smart. If it weren't for the special circumstances, he really didn't want to hide anything from Ling Wu.

Ling Xuan lay on the bed, his eyes open, thinking about what was going to happen next.

Maybe he was really tired, and it didn't take long for Ling Xuan to close his eyes.

When the first rays of light in the morning shone into the room, forming a bright area, Ling Xuan slowly opened his eyes, sat up, gently rubbed his sleepy eyes, and got out of bed and walked out of the door.

When I came outside, I squinted at the clear sky and stretched lazily.

After a brief freshening up, I went out, carrying some money with me before going out.

Not much, enough for a bowl of noodles.

He suddenly remembered the scallion beef noodles mentioned by Murong Yiyi and Shangguan Wan'er before, and he also wanted to taste it, but in fact, he had tasted it when he was a child, but it had been a long time since he had forgotten the taste.

I wonder if the beef noodles with green onions still taste like that?

Ling Xuan walked along a route that had to be detoured a long way towards the bustling market.

No hurry, no delay.

......

Early in the morning, the cries continued. The whole city seemed to be driven by the anger of the bustling market, and there was a sense of pride.

The steaming, fragrant, meaty aroma and the special aroma of spices can be smelled from afar, and then the special smell formed by the fusion is wonderful. Rows of tall and low buildings are like floating clouds, and many shops have started a new day's business, and the signboard flags hanging outside the stores are swaying in the wind, as if to attract customers.

At the end of the street, two cute girls jumped around the corner, dressed nobilly, one in front of the other. A girl in front of her eyes were like water, very clear, her eyes were shining at this time, her head was shaking, she was full of curiosity about everything around her, and the girl in the back followed closely behind, her expression was very cautious and worried, and she reminded the girl in front from time to time: "Princess, we can't act too publicly, be careful to expose our identity." ”

The girl who was called the princess looked very casual, and said disapprerovingly: "Okay, it took a lot of effort for this princess to sneak out, don't talk about this, we have to play happily, play well, how to have fun." ”

Xiao Ling wanted to cry a little for her princess's words. I thought to myself, Princess, my life is tied to your safety, so you should be careful.

She didn't dare to say these words to Ling Xi'er, because it was very disrespectful.

Xiao Ling sighed weakly, and could only follow closely behind Ling Xi'er, allowing her to "act recklessly".

There are many more folk gadgets than things in the palace, Ling Xi'er is dazzled, even if she is tired, she can't stop her enthusiasm and joy.

"Look, Miss! This is a good thing for you. ”

"Miss, this is very good. ”

“......”

Listening to the stall owners of the stalls introducing them one by one with a smile on their faces, Ling Xi'er ignored them, her eyes drifting, look at this and that. Their princess left the palace like a wild horse on the loose, so happy that Xiao Ling could only helplessly follow behind, shaking her head powerlessly while paying.

"What's wrong with Lao Tzu eating your bowl of noodles, let go, are you looking for a fight?"

Ling Xi'er, whose eyes were projected on all kinds of dazzling small objects, suddenly heard such a noisy and disgusting voice, and her happy mood suddenly disappeared, and the smile on her face disappeared.

Ling Xi'er raised her eyes and said, "Xiaoling, what's wrong over there?"

Xiao Ling also cast her gaze, shook her head and said, "I don't know, it seems that there is some quarrel." ”

The quarrel became louder and louder, attracting a large number of onlookers, becoming more and more noisy and even chaotic.

"Xiaoling, let's go over and take a look. ”

In the end, Ling Xi'er's curiosity drove her around.

Two dexterous and petite bodies shuttled through the crowd of onlookers, drilling left and right, like two little mice, squeezing into the innermost part of the crowd, and the scenes that happened were clearly visible.

An older middle-aged man, with a white cloth waistline stained with some oil stains and flour, must be the shopkeeper. I saw that he was holding on to a fat, thick-waisted, hideous and impatient young man, as if the young man had too much strength to leave, and the shopkeeper almost dragged him to the ground.

"This guest officer, the small shop is a small business, you don't pay for food every day, the small shop really can't afford it!

There were more and more onlookers, and the fingers of the crowd aroused the anger of the fat man, and he raised his fist to beat the shopkeeper.

"Hey, you're forcing me to move my fists, are you?"

"Stop"

Just when the fat man was about to start, a soft and sweet voice sounded, the sound was not very loud, and it seemed imposing, but it successfully attracted the attention of the fat man, the man withdrew his fist, turned to Ling Xi'er and said sharply: "Little girl, who are you?"

"Ben Gong...... The girl really can't get used to your behavior. ”

Xiao Ling behind her saw Ling Xi'er coming forward, and instinctively reached out and pulled Ling Xi'er's sleeve, meaning not to meddle in things.

Ling Xi'er didn't care about that.

Throwing off Xiao Ling's hand, he raised his head to look at the fat man, and said very righteously and arrogantly: "In broad daylight, at the foot of the imperial city, you actually did such an evil thing, is there any royal law?"

"Wang Fa? ”

The fat man snorted and said sharply: "Lao Tzu still needs you little girl to take care of things? ”

As he spoke, a thick "pig hand" was about to push Ling Xi'er.

Ling Xuan stood outside the crowd, quietly watching every move inside, when he saw that the man was about to make a move on Ling Xi'er, his eyes tightened slightly, and his body moved suddenly, and in an instant, before he could see it clearly, Ling Xuan came to Ling Xi'er's side, and grabbed the "pig hand" stretched out in time. When the two completely different hands were still in front of her, Ling Xi'er reacted and blinked in a daze, which was very cute.

Seeing Ling Xuan suddenly appear, the man's face twitched, and he rose up angrily, trying to resist, but seeing this, Ling Xuan's face was indifferent as usual, and he directly kicked the man's abdomen, and his fat body ejected, smashing the tables and chairs behind him, and the guests who were still eating were startled, and quickly got up and fled the scene.

I don't know if it's the heaviness of the body or the pain in the body, the man can't get up. Then after getting up with difficulty, he immediately became cowardly, naturally he didn't dare to make a move with Ling Xuan again, and fled in a hurry.

Ling Xi'er stared at Ling Xuan in front of her in surprise, and laughed sweetly in a trance.

A look of adoration.

In front of Ling Xi'er, who was a little petite, Ling Xuan's appearance looked very heroic, and when he came back to his senses, Ling Xi'er looked at Ling Xuan with adoring eyes, slightly opened her ruddy little mouth, and applauded: "It's amazing." ”

As Ling Xi'er's applause rang out, the applause around him also rang out.

At this moment, it was noisy and quiet.

Xiao Ling glanced at Ling Xuan casually, and pulled Ling Xi'er to leave, but Ling Xi'er broke away and stood in place in a daze.

Ling Xuan withdrew his gaze from the fat man who fled in a hurry, looked at Ling Xi'er, and said softly, "This girl, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Ling Xi'er shook her head.

"Thank you Gongzi for the rescue, we still have something to do, so let's go first. Xiao Ling said to Ling Xuan, and pulled Ling Xi'er to leave.

At this time, Ling Xi'er was a little impatient, "Xiaoling, what do you want to do." ”

"Miss......" Xiaoling changed her title very wittily, but she was very helpless and aggrieved.

Ling Xi'er waved her hand and asked Xiaoling not to say anything more.

"You're so good. Ling Xi'er said.

Ling Xuan nodded with a smile, and then said to the shopkeeper, "Boss, come to a bowl of noodles." ”

The shopkeeper was still a little shocked and nodded.

Ling Xuan found an intact and vacant spot and sat down.

The reason why Ling Xuan came here is because it is a scallion beef noodle shop, although the scale is not very large.

Ling Xi'er looked at Ling Xuan.

Xiao Ling whispered on the side and persuaded: "Princess, let's leave quickly, you have a noble status, so as not to cause trouble." ”

"Oh, it's okay, I'm going to make friends with this guy. ”

Ling Xi'er ignored Xiao Ling's persuasion and walked towards Ling Xuan.
