Chapter 38: A Desperate Shot

Mu Lingkong can probably sort out the clues, the assassin said that the messenger was Meng Huai'an, in fact, she had already believed eight points, combined with what Peach Blossom said, Meng Huai'an should not know under what circumstances, learned that Aunt Lin had been committed to her father, and under jealousy, it was not impossible to send a killer.

And at the post station thousands of miles away, Feng Mingzhen also received the news. Zhuang Chong stood aside and whispered to Feng Mingzhen, who was standing by the window, "Our people finally found the whereabouts of the gangsters at the foot of Lingyin Mountain, and were about to make a move. ”

"Did you find out who it was?"

Zhuang Chong's head lowered, "Failed!" ”

Feng Mingzhen turned around and asked, "Is the person sent to protect Miss Meng already in place?" ”

Zhuang Chong's expression was grim, "The subordinates were about to report the matter, and the people sent found that Miss Meng was already protected by secret guards, and the subordinates were afraid of being discovered, so they had already let people withdraw!" ”

"Already protected?" He muttered again, and suddenly asked Zhuang Chong, "You said that a person, once he loses his memory, will even his personality change?" ”

Zhuang Chong was just about to answer, when he raised his eyes and saw Feng Mingzhen's expression, he quickly shut up, he knew that his master had made up his mind in his heart, and he didn't need him to answer.

In the winter of the sixteenth year of the Qianyuan Dynasty, the Northwest tribe Jiuli visited the Nanyue Kingdom with Prince Atamu and Princess Tina, and the prince of the Nanyue Kingdom, Feng Mingzhen, went to Mocheng to greet him in person to show his attention.

In the morning, Dongxue pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard only to find that it had snowed again last night, and a thin layer covered the stone floor. She exhaled, rubbed her palms, and walked towards Mu Lingkong's room.

As soon as she pushed open the door, the warm fragrance of the room made her feel like her body was alive again, and she walked to the side of the bed lightly and woke up Mu Lingkong, "Miss, you and the second miss have made an appointment to go to the lake today!" ”

Mu Lingkong turned over and rubbed his eyebrows, "It's just snow, why is Ruyue so excited!" Can't you change the day? ”

"Can't!" With the voice, a figure pushed open the door with the cold wind and broke in, sneezed several times in a row, and stomped his hands and feet to shake off the snow on his body, "Do you know how difficult it is to see snow in Cloud Chasing City?" There must be a lot of people gathered by Qiuyue Lake today, you get up quickly, otherwise there will be more and more people waiting for the next day! ”

Seeing that Mu Lingkong was still motionless, she simply stretched out a cold paw to touch her, "Otherwise, I'll ice you!" ”

Mu Lingkong screamed and fluttered, unwilling to be pulled by Dongxue to the dressing table to dress up, and then dragged into the carriage.

As Meng Ruyue said, because it is difficult to snow in the winter of Cloud Chasing City, although it is snowy today, the pedestrians on the road are shoulder to shoulder, and it is even more lively than the New Year. Among the people coming and going, you can still see many people with exotic appearances walking through it, Mu Lingkong thought for a while, thought of the information report he received before, and understood that it should be someone from the Jiuli Department who entered Cloud Chasing City.

Meng Ruyue also saw these exotic people along her line of sight, "I heard that today the emperor summoned the prince and princess of the Jiuli Department in Zhaoren Palace, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince led the troops to escort them all the way from Mocheng to the capital. I also heard that Princess Tina of the Jiuli Department is beautiful and matchless, and she fell in love with our Royal Highness the Crown Prince at first sight, and the two of them went in and out of pairs along the way! ”

Mu Lingkong squinted at her, "When did you also care about these gossips, I heard so much!" ”

Meng Ruyue glanced at her expression, then looked away, "Hmph, I don't care, I only care...... I heard that during the time when Jiuli is in the capital, there will be no curfew, and there will be exotic vaudeville circus performances all night long, let's sneak out at night to take a look! ”

Mu Lingkong was very casual, "If you can find a way to sneak out, I'll accompany you!" ”

Meng Ruyue clapped her hands happily, "Then it's decided!" ”

When the two of them arrived at Qiuyue Lake by carriage, there were already a lot of carriages and sedan cars, and Meng Ruyue stood by the side of the carriage and laughed three times, "How about it, let me tell me!" With so many people enjoying the snow, you still have to stay in the room! ”

Mu Lingkong put on a red fox fur cloak and smiled, "In such a cold weather, Miss Ben is rare to appreciate her face, why don't you hurry up and get out of the way!" ”

Meng Ruyue happily took Mu Lingkong to the forest path with few people, "The place with a lot of people is boring, the snow is dirty, let's go to some secluded places with few people." ”

Walking a distance inside, sure enough, the snow on the ground was still as clean as ever, and the branches were full of falling snow, and a gust of wind passed by, and it was a fluttering snowfall.

Mu Lingkong bent down and took a lump of snow from the ground in his hand, and then carefully pinched out the shape, "You like snow so much, you can go to Yu'an City in the Northern Underworld to have a look, I heard that it will often snow there in winter, and it is goose feather snow!" ”

Meng Ruyue patted a tree trunk beside her, "Snow, it's rare because it's rare, and it's not uncommon to see more." ”

The two were talking, when they suddenly heard a sharp birdsong from the sky, Meng Ruyue glanced up and said in surprise, "Isn't this the bird you raised?" How did you fly out on such a cold day! Hey, what's that in the end? ”

Mu Lingkong immediately raised his head, only to see that under the gloomy sky, a lake-blue bird fluttered its wings vigorously, up and down, avoiding the pursuit of an eagle falcon behind him. The falcon is very large compared to it, its wings are almost half a foot long, and it flies so fast that it can kill its talons at any time.

At the last moment, Mu Lingkong whistled a brisk whistle in his mouth, and the lake blue bird stopped flapping its wings as if it had received an order, and fell straight to the ground, Mu Lingkong took a few steps forward and steadily took the bird in his hand.

The falcon that lost its prey did not leave, but turned around in the sky, and continued to pounce towards Mu Lingkong, the speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, the open wings and the flickering cold claws were close in front of him, and if he was caught like this, he was afraid that Mu Lingkong's beautiful face would be ruined. And the snow ball that she had been holding in her hand immediately shot out, and the person also slid to the side.

Faster than the snow ball were two arrows that shot at each other, one piercing the falcon's head and the other straight to the heart.

Meng Ruyue came to the sky in a panic with a white face, and walked far away from the dead falcon before asking, "Are you okay?" Scared the hell out of me! ”

Mu Lingkong shook his head, looked at the falcon on the ground, moved his gaze slightly, and looked out of the forest, and could already hear the faint sound of horses' hooves.

Meng Ruyue also looked over and muttered, "I don't know who helped!" ”

The first one rode a black horse of a divine horse, dressed in a silver-white brocade robe, and the collar was decorated with white fox fur, which added a bit of warmth to his face that did not eat the fireworks of the world, it was the crown prince Feng Mingzhen.
