Susukino Kiyuki sent Hanaki to the door of the tent before leaving.

When Huaxi went back, Cui Ming stayed in the tent alone.

"You're alone, what about the wood rhino?" Huaxi went to her place to relax, but she really felt a little tired, and she didn't want to move when she leaned on the soft couch after washing.

"I went out with a few maids to watch the excitement, and I haven't come back yet." Cui Ming helped Huaxi tidy up her things, packed up her clothes, and was about to put her purse into the storage box, when she inadvertently pinched an extra hard object inside, and hurriedly took it out to see that it was a jade plate that she had never seen before, "When did the girl get a new object?" There are also holes on it, which can be made and threaded together. ”

Huaxi got up and took the jade card in his hand from Cui Ming's hand, touched the word "" and lost his mind for a long time, since he said that it was a token, and he was looked at by others outside, I don't know if something would happen, it would be safer to carry it closely.

"You take a braided colored rope and put it on, I want to put it on closely."

Cui Ming found a rope to put on the jade plate, Huaxi put it around her neck, just hanging down on her chest, the jade card was close to her skin, with a slight coolness, and she couldn't help but mutter: "It's still a little cool when I put it on...... It's like someone's face......"

Cui Ming didn't know what Huaxi was muttering, but looking at her girl's awkward expression, she couldn't help but laugh twice, "What are you muttering alone?" Go to bed early, tomorrow will go back to Tiandu. ”

"Hmm." Huaxi lay on the bed covered with felt blankets, her hands on her chest, and fell into a deep sleep under the sound of the tent hula and hula in the night breeze.

Early the next morning, when Cui Ming called Huaxi to get up, she heard a commotion outside, and there were voices everywhere.

"Why is it so noisy early in the morning?"

"It was not dawn this morning, and His Majesty's guard of honor had returned to the palace, leaving only some finishing touches to clean up, and the royal residence was vacant. The stations of the prefectures here are already crowded, some stay and camp for two more days, and some go back to Tiandu, so they are busy changing places here, and they are noisy to move luggage there. ”

Mu Xi came in with a basin and interjected: "There were two families outside who almost fought just now, if it weren't for the guards to stop them, I'm afraid they would have accidentally broken into our side." ”

Huaxi smiled and asked, "Mu Xi, I don't know when you will come back when I slept deeply?" Did you have a good time? ”

"When I came back, you just fell asleep, and I didn't dare to speak out loud for fear of noisy you." Mu Xi bit his lip and said in a low voice, "When I came back last night, something seemed to have happened to the archery range, so the guards surrounded them, and they all sent people back, and the Dahua Mission pulled out the camp and returned to Tiandu overnight. ”

As soon as Hua Xi heard the archery range, her heart tightened, "Where is King Xian?" Visible people? ”

"I haven't seen anyone since yesterday, and the guards on the other side of the tent have withdrawn at some point. Most of them have already returned to the city. ”

Huaxi's heart was even more uneasy, and she didn't even say hello when she left in advance, so it can be seen that things happened suddenly, and she didn't know what happened at the archery range last night?

"What about Father?"

Cui Ming replied, "The slave was about to tell you about this. Last night, Mu Xi came back and told the slave maid, and then the prince came over and saw that you were sleeping deeply, so let the slave and maid not wake you up. This morning, Mr. Hu came over and said that the prince had escorted the mission back to Tiandu last night, and he stayed until the county lord had breakfast before leaving. ”

"No need, go and tell Manager Hu, leave immediately, leave some people to pack up your things, and the others will go back to Tiandu with me first."

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Cui Ming was puzzled.

Huaxi frowned and said: "I met the Third Emperor and Xun Rou last night and invited the fifth brother to the archery range, I have a hunch that something is wrong." ”

Huaxi changed into light clothes, got into the carriage, and hurried back to Tiandu City under the escort of the guards.

Originally, it was going to take three hours, but Huaxi and the others returned to the house in an hour. Entering the mansion, Huaxi heard that Susukino Shin was in the study in the outer courtyard, so he went straight to the study.

"Father, something happened last night?" Huaxi opened the door of the study, and as soon as she entered, she didn't expect that there were outsiders in the study.

The man was sitting and drinking tea when he heard someone come in, raised his head, and his eyes flashed with surprise.

Huaxi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, it was Ouyang Zheng. She stood at the door, so she had to ask, "Why are you here?" "The people didn't say just now that King Xin was meeting a guest, otherwise she wouldn't have rushed straight into the study recklessly.

"Naturally, the king of faith brought me here." Ouyang Zheng sat calmly, not at all like an outsider who came to visit, pursed his lips and looked at Huaxi, but there was a faint joy surging in his heart.

After he separated from Huaxi last night, there was an accident at the archery range shortly after returning to the camp, and the Dahua delegation rushed back to Tiandu overnight, and Ouyang Zheng was called by the king of Thailand to talk at night, wanting to use this matter to make conditions to Xiyue to obtain more benefits. In the morning, he entered the palace to see Emperor Xiyue, and King Xin discussed specific matters with him in detail, after leaving the palace, King Xin suddenly invited him back to the house for dinner, Ouyang Zheng agreed without thinking about it, just because he had a thought in his heart, thinking that maybe he could see Huaxi in the mansion, maybe there was a chance to ask her tentatively, do you know the other meaning of the jade plate? When he arrived at King Xin's mansion, King Xin invited him to the study, he thought he wouldn't see Huaxi, but he didn't expect Huaxi to break in when King Xin excused himself to leave, but when he saw a familiar pretty face, his mouth was not what he wanted to say at all......

Huaxi didn't see King Xin, remembering that the Dahua mission had set camp overnight last night, and thought that Ouyang Zheng would know the reason, so he asked, "Do you know what happened to the archery field last night?" ”

Ouyang Zheng nodded, "Last night, King Xian accidentally injured King Liangdi of Thailand, and I, as the deputy envoy of the mission, came here to negotiate this matter with the receiving envoy Xinwangye. Lord Shin had just gone out to deal with something, so he sent someone to invite me to sit here for a while. ”

Hua Xi was taken aback, "Ah, the fifth brother hurt Xiao Wu?" How is the fifth brother doing now? By the way, how is Xiao Wu's injury? Worried about your life? Huaxi didn't expect so many things to happen overnight, Xiao Wu's injury was directly related to the safety of Susukino Kiyuki.

Ouyang Zheng glanced at Huaxi, saw that her face was full of anxiety, and said slowly: "Your fifth brother is fine, but his finger is scratched." King Liangdi of Thailand took an arrow, but fortunately, Susukino Kiyuki retracted his strength in time, and the force of the arrow was not great, so it didn't hurt the bones. ”

Ouyang Zheng said this, Huaxi's hanging heart fell, "It's okay, it's okay......" But Ouyang Zheng said again, "However, Xiao Liangdi blocked an arrow for the King of Thailand." ”

Huaxi's face changed, how could the fifth brother's arrow shoot at the King of Thailand?

"There must be some misunderstanding here?" Huaxi frowned and said, "Don't say whether the fifth brother has this heart or not, just on the matter, his status in Xiyue is respected, and it is impossible to hurt the king of Thailand by himself in public." ”

Ouyang Zheng looked at Huaxi deeply, his eyes were dark, "If there is indeed a problem with the arrow, the Virtuous King will shoot off, even so, the Virtuous King is negligent in taking precautions, which led to the occurrence of this matter, and it is difficult to escape the blame." ”

Hua Xi only thought about the joints in this matter, and didn't notice the change in Ouyang Zheng's expression, and continued to take care of himself: "There are two possible motives for this matter, one is from Xiyue, someone wants to frame the fifth brother; Another possibility may come from Xiyue or Dahua, that is, someone wants to kill people with a knife, and use the fifth brother to hurt the king of Thailand and provoke conflicts between the two countries. ”

"Well, you're analyzing. I can't see it, you are very concerned about the safety of Sukino Kiyuki" As soon as the words came out, Ouyang Zheng felt that there was something wrong with his words, and he hurriedly took a sip of tea to cover up the past.

That's a bit pantothenic to say.

Huaxi was stunned, and sneered: "Fifth brother treats me like a sister, and I'm worried that he is normal." Don't you care about the safety of the King of Thailand? After all, the arrow was aimed at the king of Thailand. ”

"As a minister, he naturally has to care about the safety of the emperor, but people like him ...... How could it be possible to let yourself have an accident? Ouyang Zheng pursed his lips and shook his head, and chuckled in a low voice, "The only person around me who can have an accident is you." ”

Huaxi pursed her lips and glared at Ouyang Zheng, and was about to reply, but she thought that she shouldn't be so enthusiastic with him anymore, so she swallowed back the words to her mouth, blessed her body, and said: "I hope that the deputy envoy will be aware of last night's incident, and I believe that the fifth brother must be innocent." Sit down for a while, and your father will come back after a while. I won't bother, I'll take my leave first. ”

"Are you afraid of me?" Ouyang Zheng's face was calm, and the light in his eyes was as dark as night.

"No, I'm not afraid." Huaxi shook her head, feeling a little strange in her heart.

"Then why do I always feel like you're afraid to see me?" Ouyang Zheng looked at Huaxi, his heart was really not good, remembering what Xi Xuan said last night, did this girl really deliberately pretend not to understand and hide from herself?

In Qizhou Xiang City, he could clearly feel that she cared about herself, so she ignored herself because of Fu San, but Fu San has now accompanied Jin Cheng into the palace. And yesterday, the two of them rode together easily and comfortably, but why did they meet today become such a situation? From beginning to end, she was always concerned about the safety of Kiyuki Susino, and when she seemed a little intimate, she flinched.

After living for more than 20 years, except for his mother, Ouyang Zheng has never cared so much about women's hearts, even if he has another purpose, the Fu family has always been gentle and obedient at least in front of him, and he will never guess her thoughts, because he knows her purpose.

But Huaxi is different, after he finds out that his concern for her is not because of those private reasons, but from the heart, he will want to know what she thinks, and want to know if she has herself in her heart? When he felt that she cared about him, he would also be happy, and when he saw her escape, he would also feel bored, such a mood was something he had never experienced before, even in the face of the glamorous Dahua Fu Clan, he had never felt half like this.

Huaxi avoided Ouyang Zheng's gaze and said, "The world is too worried. I remember the first time we met, Huaxi thought that the world was a villain, and the world saw that I was scared at that time. ”

Ouyang Zheng looked at Huaxi, and Xi Xuan's words sounded in his head again, "If your subordinates don't listen to you, someone Xi is your subordinate, and it's okay to stick your cold ass with a hot face, anyway, it's already rough and thick-skinned, and it can withstand your cold face torture." But the family is a girl's family, if you are born two years earlier, she can be a girl for you, the little girl loves to listen to good and obedient words, and you will not coax people, so the subordinates said that they want you to show their hearts by sending things, and as a result, the horse is sent, but the name of the family...... Finally, I let the little white horse bring the girl over in the forest, but you said that you were a late, and you told the girl's family about the horse, and when you sent the token, you also reminded the people that it was 'Yuefu', and didn't say anything, how did you let the girl send you a token? ”

Thinking of this, Ouyang Zheng settled down, and gestured with his chin bowed: "In this case, I will not stay in the county lord for a long time." ”

Ouyang Zheng suddenly used honorifics, which made Huaxi a little uncomfortable, and he lost his mind for a moment before turning around and going out.

As soon as I walked to the door, I heard Ouyang Zheng say behind me: "I will wait until the fifteenth, and I hope to receive your token that day." ”

Huaxi's body stiffened, and the jade card on his chest shook lightly in his clothes twice, quietly sticking to his chest, but somehow Huaxi felt that the jade card was a little hot, and it was no longer as cool as last night. The heat seemed to flow down her chest into her body and into her heart, making her panic a little......
