Chapter 18: Assassins in the Lost Valley
At night, Di Jinxuan and Yun Wanning stood under an extremely inconspicuous tree, and their eyes invariably looked at the thousand-year-old willow not far ahead.
Di Jinxuan sent Ji Qingge back to the palace last night, and then returned to the palace, and listened to Bai Yuqian, the female secret agent in his mansion, say, "Qi Xiao Wangye." At the thousand-year-old willow in the Lost Valley, his subordinates found a masked woman in white and a man in black connecting there.
In order to find out the whereabouts of the masked woman in white, his subordinates specially left a special mark in the valley. ”
The so-called special mark is a "well" mark on a tree in the valley that is not easy to be found.
By looking for a special marker, Di Jinxuan found this inconspicuous tree beside him. Standing under the tree, he saw a red shadow not far to the right, approaching him.
He didn't expect that Yun Wanning, the lord of Xiyao County, also entered the Lost Valley.
Yun Wanning approached him and stopped about a meter away from him. She looked up at his tall and majestic figure, flickered her long eyelashes, and whispered:
"Third brother. When I saw that you were not there yesterday, I went into the valley to find a mark...... Found here. ”
Di Jinxuan could hear that there was an explanation in her words.
Yun Wanning is his sister-in-law, her grandfather was the first emperor personally named the king of Luo, Yunkang, and was called "General Fei" in his early years. Yun Kang led the Qi army to defeat the elite soldiers of Xiliang and defeated the Xiliang Kingdom in one fell swoop.
From then on, the defeated Western Liang Kingdom was included in the territory of the Xiyue Dynasty and changed to Western Liangzhou. Today's Xiliangzhou, driven by the magistrates of the Xiyue Dynasty, is extremely prosperous in construction.
The Luo King Yunkang, who had made great achievements in war, had passed away for many years, and the new monarch was still very kind to the Yun family. In addition, Yun Wanning Bingxue is smart, and she is deeply liked by the queen's mother, and she is recognized as a righteous daughter by the queen at a very young age.
The queen often ordered someone to take Yun Wanning into the palace to accompany her, and asked Yun Wanning to call Di Jinxuan "third brother".
Outsiders say that Yun Wanning and Di Jinxuan are childhood sweethearts, which is well documented.
Yun Wanning knows how to read and understand, and is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Her embroidery level has also been praised by the queen. And what makes her even better is her amazing Yun swordsmanship, as well as her kung fu of piercing Yang in a hundred steps.
Because of her own excellent skills, she dared to make a declaration in front of Emperor Xiao Jinxuan:
"Now the Beitan Army has reversed itself and deceived people too much! The subordinates are willing to lead the army to the battlefield in Northern Xinjiang and fight to the death with the eldest princess of Beitan. If he loses, his subordinates will kill themselves on the spot, and there will be no complaints. ”
Di Jinxuan immediately agreed.
As a result, Yun Wanning defeated the eldest princess of Beitan.
She tried her best to win the respect of the soldiers of the Qi army, and also won the praise of Di Jinxuan and other members of the royal family.
Di Jinxuan personally held a celebration banquet for her, and still called her "Sister Wanning".
Di Jinxuan, who has always been cold, only talked to her for more than three sentences when he held a celebration banquet for her. So when Yun Wanning's explanation didn't get a response from Di Jinxuan, she didn't think much about it.
Yun Wanning also stared at Gu Liu, even if even the sound of the birds could arouse her vigilance.
Ji Qingge, who was sitting under the ancient willows, quietly observed Di Jinxuan and the woman in red for a while, but did not find that Di Jinxuan had any interaction with the woman in red.
I saw that Di Jinxuan and the woman in red always maintained a certain distance, both of them were standing heroic, and they could undoubtedly show their kingly aura in the dark night.
Ji Qingge pursed his lips and planned to get up and stand as well.
Suddenly, I saw a shining white light piercing the night sky, and Sen Han's sword light shot straight towards Di Jinxuan.
"Be careful!"
Ji Qingge exclaimed, breaking the silence of the night. This shout that resounded through the valley made Di Jinxuan hear it at once, it was Ji Qingge.
I saw a black shadow leaping out from under the ancient willow tree, and as soon as his vigorous figure stood firm, he skillfully intercepted the flying knife.
"Huh."
A cold sword light came out of Ji Qingge's right hand, who was dressed in black, only to hear an "ah" sound not far away, and the man in black fell to the ground instantly.
This sharp skill not only made Di Jinxuan cast an appreciative gaze at Ji Qingge. Even Yun Wanning, who was standing beside him, had a glint in her beautiful eyes.
She tapped her toes, and a red shadow instantly swept over Ji Qingge's heads, and soon disappeared into the night.
After the woman in red left, Ji Qingge guessed in his heart that the woman in red who had just left was the legendary woman who had both a charming face and peerless martial arts...... Lord of Xiyao?
Oh.
But I was a little anxious and helped Di Jinxuan. This didn't work out, so he robbed other people's business. Ji Qingge was just about to turn around and leave, when she heard Di Jinxuan ask her:
"Qingge, what are you doing in the valley?"
His tone was full of concern and impatience.
Ji Qingge smiled sourly and explained, "I didn't want to come over, I just ...... Go into the mountains to collect medicine. ”
Hearing her words, Di Jin raised his eyebrows fiercely. thought that Ji Qingge came to the rescue because he knew it was him. As a result, she didn't even think about it.
Hum.
If he dares to say such unconscionable words in front of him, he will let her see and understand, he, the creditor, is not easy to provoke.
"Herbs? I said Ji Qingge, you are an injured person, and you went into the Maze Valley in the middle of the night to collect medicine. You say this, can you fool a shrewd man like Ben Gongzi? ”
After speaking, Di Jinxuan let out a cold snort in his nose, and his face was incredulous.
The biting cold wind hit, and the cold Ji Qingge couldn't help but reach out and pull the collar of the robe. She took a deep breath and argued, "It's because I'm injured that I have to go into the mountains to collect medicine." Is it possible to wait for the cold wind to blow the herbs to my house? ”
Di Jinxuan found that the night was long, and he had to find someone who was eloquent and bold and interesting. Otherwise, wait until dawn dryly, and it will be boring.
"Ahem."
He cleared his throat and said, "To collect medicine, it also depends on the place." Right? ”
"Yes. I just looked at the place before I came to the valley. Ji Qingge looked innocent, and couldn't wait to ask him why he was so lenient? When he's a police officer in the Pacific, right?
"Then since you know that this is the Lost Valley, still come? Don't you know that there was a murder case in the Lost Valley recently, and the people in the Ministry of Officials are investigating the case? ”
Di Jinxuan's voice was not loud, but it exuded the irresistible majesty of the king. After Ji Qingge listened to it, he felt like he was interrogating a criminal suspect.
Such a conversation suddenly raised a nameless anger in her heart. However, she still lowered her voice and said: "The affairs of the DPRK and China, the people's daughters don't know. ”
Di Jinxuan heard that she was angry. Even if he said the word "people's girl", then he wanted to tease her even more.
I saw that Ji Qingge was wearing a very ordinary black cotton robe, not that he asked her to prepare a gorgeous dress for her to send to her house. It is inevitable to wonder in my heart:
Is she so frugal because she is worried that the clothes are too expensive and will increase her debts?
