Chapter 6: Taichu Lake
Yuyan Mountain is in the south of Chang'an, about 200 miles away. The mountains are towering and green, and the mountains and rocks, flowers and plants are dotted with the clear Taichu Lake like jasper, and the mountains and waters are colorful, and the scenery is charming. The rarest thing is the spring water in the mountains, which is cold and frozen in summer and boiling in winter, and it is said to be extremely nourishing.
Probably because of this, my aunt invited my sister to come to the Yuyan Mountain Palace together, Xiao Yin thought secretly.
After giving birth to the prince, the concubine was even more favored in the harem, and the emperor even allowed her to come to the palace at any time to enjoy. The girl next to Xiao Qiyun led Xiao Yin and Xiao Huan to the room, and said with a smile along the way.
Xiao Yin has a vague memory, but he is a little afraid of this aunt. My aunt is my father's only sister, and Xiao Yin still remembers her aunt's arrogance and arrogance in front of the concubines and concubines who were not favored by her father in the royal court.
"The concubine treats our mother very well," the little girl smiled, "It's not that she knew that our mother was sick, so she invited her to the palace." It's a pity, how come the Jade Smoky Mountain Palace is also mixed in with the dark people of Beidi. β
"The Dark Man of Beiqi?"
"Yes," replied the little girl, "the adults of the Imperial City Division are already on trial. Although it was dark and chaotic, the Assassins were not captured, but several of the soldiers fought against them. The soldiers all said that the assassin made the sword technique of Beidi, and it seems that one of the guards heard the assassin speak a word of Beidi's native language. β
Brother Shizhi is really right, Xiao Yin muttered secretly in his heart, this has not yet arrived in Chang'an, it is already like this.
"Do you know where those soldiers are on duty now?" Xiao Yin asked.
"The slave heardβ"
"Mouthy!"
Lu Zhan didn't know when he came from the corridor, and when he heard the little girl chewing her tongue, she cut off the words sharply. Then, he turned around and saluted Xiao Huan and Xiao Yin.
"Lord Lu is really dedicated to everything and does his best." Xiao Huan waved the folding fan in his hand, swayed and walked two steps, and said casually, "Little girl, talk a lot!" This man is indeed hateful and hateful. As soon as Xiao Huan said this, Xiao Yin couldn't ask anything more, so he had to suppress it for the time being.
But Xiao Yin had a feeling that this matter would never be done by the Beidi people alone.
Xiao Huan was playful and cynical, and was about to walk over, when he suddenly turned around and said to Lu Zhan with a smile: "Oh, by the way, Lord Lu, this son remembered an important matter. Along the way, he was stuffed in the carriage every day, which suffocated his son. I asked a few soldiers with good equestrian skills to accompany me to the Yuyan Mountain Horse Farm to walk the horses. I've already told my sister, but my sister said that I still have to tell you, Lord Lu. β
"The old slave doesn't dare, the old slave must do his best to arrange." Xiao Huan's words were thorny, and Lu Dingfu became more and more respectful, lest he annoy this little overlord of the mixed world.
This prince of Qilan is really a gentleman raised in a rich township. Lu Dingfu thought to himself, he didn't find this master so difficult to deal with in Qilan. According to the replies of the people below, it was only half a day's work, and this young master tossed the government barracks to the bottom. All of a sudden, he asked all the government soldiers to dance swords, and all of a sudden, he asked them to bow and bow to cheer up, and the person who replied said that there were even a few government soldiers who sang a few songs. The front of the barracks turned out to be a place for juggling for a while.
At dusk, Xiao Huan was still very interested, but he finally let go of the government barracks. He chose a few people and prepared to go to the pine forest by the Taichu Lake to walk his horses.
When he arrived at the lake, Xiao Huan suddenly said that he was a little tired, so he asked left and right to row the boat up.
"Old Wood!" Xiao Huan shouted.
Lao Mu is an old man who came from Qilan with Xiao Huan and Xiao Yin, and he is very loyal and stable. He came out of the cabin in response, but there was a slender person next to him, and he saw her pick up the hat and raise her head, it turned out to be Xiao Yin.
"Why are you here!" Xiao Huan was a little angry, and scolded Lao Mu, "Nonsense! β
"Brother is less angry," Xiao Yin said busily, "Don't blame Mu Bo, I must have begged him to bring me over." My sister's injury is a bit strange. I know that my brother must be anxious. Now that the matter is just happening, find those government soldiers, or you can find out one or two, if the people of the Imperial City Division try and close the case, after the limelight, I am afraid that the lives of these government soldiers will be difficult to protect, and it will be difficult to find out the reason at that time. β
"You little girl, you really know me." Xiao Huan's tossing trick concealed Lu Dingfu, who was meticulous in everything, but did not hide his sister, "You have also seen the situation of the eldest sister." The dignified princess, but she is worried and afraid to become like this, if I don't find out my innocence, I will not be at ease. β
"I thought the same thing, but in the afternoon, I went to see my sister again." Xiao Yin said, "At that time, there was no one around, so I asked my sister about these doubts in my brother's heart. Sister's original words, this matter involves too much, let's not pursue it again. I knew that my brother's toss this afternoon was definitely not unreasonable, so I forced Mu Bo to ask. β
Don't pursue it anymore, Xiao Huan's heart is full of suspicions, and many clues clearly confirm the previous speculation, this inexplicable assassin is clearly coming for Xiao Qiyun. Now the eldest sister is not being investigated, what is the so-called?
The boat rowed slowly on the Taichu Lake.
Xiao Huan hesitated.
The boat unconsciously swung to the vicinity of the ferry near the small bridge of the jade belt. On the bridge, as promised, a few whistles sounded.
Xiao Huan was about to lean out of the cabin when he suddenly felt that something was not right.
A few arrows flew over.
"Lao Mu, protect her quickly!"
Xiao Huan drew his sword and rose.
