CHAPTER XXVI

Lingnan is a territory in the southwest of Longyue Kingdom. There are many high mountains and hills, and most of them are villages of the Yi or Yao nationality in Lingnan, and a few people quickly arrived at a village in the middle of Lingnan to settle down.

This village seems to be a stronghold of the Seventh Prince, although it looks ordinary, it is all villagers pretending to be guards of the army, of course, this is what Wan Yi told her. Tao Li observed these houses, which were supported by thick wood and bamboo, which housed livestock, and houses above, with pointed roofs and square bottoms, and the whole building was ochre yellow and made of bamboo. It looks a lot like the bamboo building in modern times. The decoration of these bamboo buildings is very comfortable and exquisite, and the floor of the room where the seven kings sleep is even covered with fine wool carpets.

I'm really going to enjoy it.

"General!" Gao Chongguang knelt on the ground, he was originally the personal guard of the seventh prince Hengyu, but now that the prince is missing, it is his dereliction of duty, "The crime of despicability deserves death." ”

"Get up, you and I are the same in terms of grade, and I can't afford to be a humble position."

Tao Li secretly looked at the kneeling man, tall and big, with a beard on his face, rough facial features, and he felt that he was the kind of person who was very loyal and upright.

"Brother Wan, don't laugh, now that the prince is missing, it's good if I can keep this head, and it's still graded?" Gao Chongguang stood up dejectedly, "Brother Wan, you must find the prince." ”

"Gao Chongguang, this Lingnan Yao place is thousands of miles round, do you think I am an immortal?" Wan Yi found a comfortable angle and turned sideways, he was very tired after many days of running, "And this is not the territory you have been guarding, you still can't find it, what's the use of begging me?" ”

"Eh, you can't say that, you and the Seventh Prince are playing with the same crotch, and there is affection between you. Besides, there aren't a lot of strange people around you, how can you leave the prince alone? ”

Tao Li was also very tired, and when he heard this Gao Chongguang shouting a lot, he suddenly became excited. "A crotch? Sentient? She poked Mei Junxing's shoulder, and blinked in the direction of Wan Jin.

Mei Junxing frowned, puzzled.

Tao Li had no choice but to lean close to Mei Junxing's ear, "Listen to the meaning of that big man, the general and the prince are not simple." ”

waited for Mei Junxing to react, but saw Wan Yi stand up and pick up Gao Chongguang's neckline.

"If you talk nonsense again, I'll send someone to escort you to the emperor now, and count how many times the Seventh Prince has lost it since you became a guard!"

I didn't expect this Wan Yi to look weak, and his strength was not small. Tao Li put away her strange gaze, she always felt that Wan Yi, who was carrying high light, seemed to look at herself.

She didn't want to be the next one to be picked up.

"That's because I've always been alone with the guards." Gao Chongguang finally broke free, and became more and more aggrieved, "You are not a person who doesn't know what kind of prince he is, he is strong in martial arts, he can fly wherever he says, who can watch it." ”

To put it bluntly, Hengyu deliberately chose a guard whose martial arts were inferior to his own, just to leave at any time without hindrance.

It's just that most of the time I usually come back within a day, but this time it's been half a month.

I don't bother to watch a rough and burly man complain as a little daughter-in-law.

"Anyway, we just arrived in Yaodi and need to rest, you go and arrange a few rooms to come out."

"But ......" Gao Chongguang wanted to say something, Wan Yijiangliu sneered.

"How many days have passed? Is this time missing? Besides, even if the prince encounters an accident, I am afraid that the corpse is cold at this time, and it is useless to be anxious. ”

Tao Li was surprised to listen to Wan Yi's words and was ashamed, this, so contemptuous of the royal family, will he not be killed? She looked at the big man, only to see him nod.

"That's right, forget it, I'll go and arrange a place for you first."

The houses of several people are not far from each other, Tao Li and Jade live in one place, Mei Junxing and Yujian You live in one place, Lord Wan Yi does not like to be disturbed, so he simply lives in the bamboo house where the Seven Princes lived before.

"It's definitely a personal use of power." Tao Li leaned in front of the window of the bamboo house, looking out at the most spacious and luxurious house, "But our house is not bad." ”

Jade came in and cleaned up and fell asleep at a very fast speed, Tao Li saw her hands on her lower abdomen, breathing steadily, the big beauty is the big beauty, and the sleeping posture is beautiful and dignified.

Tao Li stretched her waist, she was simply familiar with the environment, and also climbed on the quilt, the bamboo house was cool, it was quite good, thinking that Tao Li slowly closed her eyes.

On the other side, although Wan Yi, who had been resting, did not really rest, he sat in front of the bookcase where the Seventh Prince Hengyu usually sits.

He knew that Hengyu had a habit of recording things.

I opened the dark compartment under the desk, and sure enough, there was a scroll.

Wan Yi carefully flipped through it, and found no special records except for some military affairs.

Throwing the scroll on the case, Wan Yi stood up, Prince Hengyu is not a person without measure, is it really an accident?

Putting the case file back in the hidden compartment, the general walked out of the house, and there were two guards dressed as villagers squatting at the door of the house, looking like they were weaving bamboo baskets. There is a garrison in this part of Lingnan all year round, because the land is fertile, so only a small part of the food and clothing of the soldiers is allocated by the imperial court, and most of them rely on their own labor.

"What about Gao Chongguang?"

The two guards heard Wan Yi's voice and hurriedly stood up with the bamboo basket down.

"Your Excellency, the senior attendant has led people to inspect the cottage, and it is estimated that he will not be able to come back until an hour."

"Why is he patrolling? What about your inspection department here? ”

"Return, return, Lord." The two guards hesitated a little, "When the Seventh Prince first arrived in Yaodi, he rode into Lord Zhao's youngest son, and the Seventh Prince did not reveal his identity at that time, so he was ...... Locked up. However, the prince was released on the second day, but Lord Zhao was now locked up. ”

"It's just nonsense, so now there is no one in charge in Lingnan?" Wan Yi's eyes became serious, he thought that although Hengyu was willful, he would not ignore the overall situation.

"At present, Zhao Ziyan, the eldest son of the inspection envoy, and Lord Gao Chongguang govern the land of Lingnan together."

“…… That's it, I know, you go and send someone to call Gao Chongguang back, and find someone else to go on your behalf for the inspection! ”

"Yes!" The two guards responded, pulled out two horses from the empty seats under the bamboo hut, and saluted Wan Yi before getting on their horses and leaving.

"What breed of horse is that, with so short legs."

Wan Yi heard Tao Li's voice, and when he turned around, he saw Miss Tao San holding a basin of water in her hand, her hair was still wet, and a dry towel was tied at the end of her hair, which looked like she had just bathed.

"Ah Li, why did you come out like this?"

Wan Yi just wanted to ask your maid, and after thinking about it, the jade is the maid of the fish stream.

"You, put the basin down and come in."
