Chapter Fifty-Seven: Nothing to Do
Kou Shu was helped up by the ripples rushing over, and Lan Ruoxuan, who was not far away, seemed to be greatly frightened at the moment, hugging Kaori and shrinking a little.
"I was almost shot by a stray arrow just now, and the one who was in danger was obviously Niangniang - where she was afraid of something, what she pretended to be delicate." Ripple said dissatisfied.
Kou Shu smiled faintly, the situation just now was so critical and chaotic, ordinary people couldn't see what was going on at all, if Lan Ruoxuan was frightened, it was normal. It's just that Kou Shu's eyes flashed with a gleam, this matter is definitely not as simple as a stray arrow. The hunting ground in the field where he and Lan Ruoxuan competed was a hundred meters away, if it was really a stray arrow from the hunting ground, it must have shot extremely far, and the power of drawing the bow had already been exhausted in the air, but the arrow that shot at him was straight to the ground, obviously coming at him.
"Senior sister, are you alright?" Lan Ruoxuan struggled to get up, her face worried.
Kou Shu smiled faintly, waved her hand and said, "Sister don't worry, sister is fine." β
Lan Ruoxuan nodded, with a hint of apology on her face: "Today's incident is that my sister is reckless, and my sister will definitely apologize to my sister for coming to the door another day." With that, he wiped his waist very quickly, as if he was hiding something.
Kou Shu nodded, pretending not to see anything.
Kou Shu and Lan Ruoxuan were frightened, and they had lunch, and they both rested in their respective tents.
After taking a sip of tea slowly, Kou Shu said slowly: "Yuan Yun, can you see it today?" β
Yuan Yun nodded: "Niangniang, it was made by Song Yuanxu's subordinates." β
"Song Yuanxu?" Kou Shu frowned, originally thought that this person was just ambitious, fighting with Song Jinyan in secret, but he didn't expect this person to hit the abacus on his head, Kou Shu continued to ask: "But what else do you see?" What is hidden in Lan Ruoxuan's waist, can you see it? β
Yuan Yun nodded: "As early as when Niangniang signaled me, I paid close attention to Concubine Lan's actions, and Concubine Lan wore a small bronze mirror around her waist. The slave looked at the bronze mirror, but there was nothing strange about it. β
"The bronze mirror itself is weird," Kou Shu sneered, and said, "Lan Ruoxuan is so dignified, what are you doing with the bronze mirror on your waist." β
"Then, what does Concubine Lan want the bronze mirror for? She doesn't have to look in the mirror in front of people, does she? Ripple came up with the fruit with a hint of confusion on his face.
Kou Shu slowly picked up a fruit in the fruit bowl and said, "I have heard that some people in the previous dynasty used a bronze mirror as a secret signal, and they only needed to find the right angle and reflect the light to a certain place, so that they could be spied on and transmit information. β
"There is still such a way!" A few are all admiration.
Kou Shu waved her hand, but stopped talking.
"Niangniang, Concubine Lan is here." A little girl outside the tent ran in to report.
Hearing that Concubine Lan was coming, Ripple rolled her eyes and walked out of the tent, obviously extremely impatient to see Concubine Lan. Kou Shu didn't stop her, but said to the girl who came to pass the word: "Okay, you go back." β
Before he finished speaking, he heard Lan Ruoxuan's voice soft and glutinous, and her exhalation came like a land: "Senior sister-"
Kou Shu's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she smiled lightly: "Senior sister, why are you here, don't you have a good rest." β
When Lan Ruoxuan heard this, her face seemed to show infinite grievances: "Senior sister, are you blaming me for not recklessly suggesting the game and putting you in danger?" β
Kou Shu frowned and explained, "Senior sister is too worried, senior sister doesn't mean this. β
Lan Ruoxuan nodded, and motioned to Youzhu beside her to come forward: "Senior sister, I have a bottle of Ning Xin Pill refined by the master here, and I specially sent it today, so I should compensate my senior sister." β
This Ning Xin Pill was refined by the late elder of Qingcheng Gate, although the medicinal materials used are simple and easy to take, but the elder's alchemy skills are perfect, and the effect of the pill produced is dozens of times higher than that of the ordinary Ning Xin Dan, which is also a rare nourishing product. As soon as Lan Ruoxuan made a move, she boldly gave away a large bottle.
Kou Shu motioned for the mandarin duck to step forward and take it, and said, "Senior sister doesn't have to be so polite, this matter is not the fault of senior sister." It is inevitable that the arrows will hurt people. β
Lan Ruoxuan nodded, seemed to be relieved, changed her words, and asked, "So, at tonight's dinner, senior sister will come, right?" β
Kou Shu was stunned: "What dinner?" β
When the mandarin duck saw it, he explained on the side: "Niangniang forgot, today, it is the king of Mobei who will entertain us at a banquet in the evening, and fulfill the friendship of the landlord. β
In previous years, Mobei is a plate of loose sand, not a climate, so every year the autumn hunt is not such a link, this year for some reason, Mobei people seem to be twisted into a rope, and now Mobei has gradually embarked on the right track, and all this, and the king of Mobei behind is inseparable. His banquet, as the queen of Daxuan, is naturally going to go.
There are many feudal kings in Mobei, and they have been the kings of each of them for many years, thinking that this person can actually make the unruly vassal kings bow their heads and submit, Kou Shu is very curious, where is this person sacred.
Seeing that Kou Shu agreed, Lan Ruoxuan arrived, sat for a while and then got up to say goodbye. After walking a short distance, Lan Ruoxuan slowed down, lowered her head and asked a little palace maid behind her, "How, what did you find?" β
The palace maid looked up, and there was an Adam's apple on her neckβit was a man.
The man lowered his voice and said: "Niangniang, next to the queen, the one named Yuan Yun walks lightly and has a strong pace, he is a practitioner, I am afraid that his kung fu is not low." β
"What else?"
The man shook his head: "There is only one person next to the queen mother who knows martial arts." β
Lan Ruoxuan nodded, and said thoughtfully: "That's fine, this matter is very important, and there must be no mistakes like today." β
"Niangniang-" Mandarin Duck looked at Lan Ruoxuan's back and frowned slightly: "Niangniang, Concubine Lan Niangniang came here on purpose, and the slave maid felt that there must be something strange in it." We need to be more vigilant."
Kou Shu nodded, Lan Ruoxuan was afraid that if she called herself a Gu poison attack, plus she was frightened during the day today, she didn't go to the banquet. She insisted on pulling herself to go, I'm afraid there is still a play to sing to herself. Since she wanted to stumble on herself so much, Kou Shu smiled coldly, then let her taste the consequences of self-inflicted harm.
In the middle of the night, Yuan Ming's secret horn suddenly came.
Since returning from the night visit to Lixiang Pavilion, Kou Shu has set a secret code with Yuan Ming, and acted with the code as an order.
Receiving Kou Shu's answer, Yuan Ming's body was as light as a swallow, and he suddenly fell in front of Kou Shu's eyes. Kou Shu couldn't help but be speechless, although she was quite confident in Yuan Ming's martial arts, she didn't expect it to be so fast.
"Mother, I've got something." Yuan Ming's voice was crisp and neat, and he handed the handkerchief in his hand to Kou Shu, and said: "This is the handkerchief that Concubine Pear carried with her before her death, and it is the most personal thing for Concubine Li." β
Kou Shu nodded and did not speak.
