The onlookers talked a lot, saying that the Taoist in the north of the city who vainly said that he could fly into an immortal sat on the high platform to block the holy car, but after a while, King Xiao ordered the Taoist to be buried with the gift of the prince.

My outlook on life began to be confused, and it is unknown whether King Xiao thinks he is in a commendable spirit, or whether he really has such a brother.

It was already noon when the holy driver arrived at Xuanshan, and Xiao Ran and I avoided the guards and successfully came to the mountain north of Xuanshan.

Tie the rope to the end of the arrow, and apply the bone water to the arrow, everything is ready, Xiao Ran put the arrow on the bowstring and pulled out a full moon, and then with a whoosh, the arrow tied to the rope quickly sank into the ethereal clouds, but in the blink of an eye, I heard a sonorous sound, and the arrow tied to the rope flew back towards us, but fortunately, Xiao Ran quickly dragged me behind me, and the arrow was deeply inserted into the trunk behind me.

I wiped the beads of sweat oozing from the corner of my forehead and looked at Xiao Ran embarrassedly: "That, I forgot one thing, bone water must be combined with blood to work." ”

Xiao Ran shook his head helplessly, pulled out an arrow again, bit his finger and stingily dripped two drops of blood on it, and then poured bone water, and checked it again and again before shooting the arrow before letting go.

This time, the arrow feather was nailed straight to the opposite cliff wall with the rope, Xiao Ran pulled the rope back, and after making sure that it would not fall out, he tightened the remaining rope on the trunk of the tree. Before leaving, he kept telling me that I should go back to the other courtyard and wait for news, and when he successfully arranged everything, he would take me into the palace.

Watching Xiao Ran's lilac figure disappear into the clouds, I was still a little uneasy, in case he was treated as an assassin, it would not be good, I could only secretly pray that everything would be good for him.

I stayed until it was dark and there was no movement on the other side, and it didn't look like an assassin, so I was a little relieved and packed my things and walked down the hill slowly.

In the following ten days, I only got some sporadic news, folk rumors that Xiao Wang Li Shao recognized his long-lost son, but he didn't hear about the canonization of the son, I don't know if Li Shao is still skeptical.

The weather is gradually getting warmer, but I have been bored in the room all day waiting for news, counting the days, it has been eight months since I left Tongshan, I don't know if the master and the senior brothers and disciples have been doing well recently, whether they miss me.

In the past, Tang Huan and I were extremely active in Ji'an Hall, and we often caused some small damage, and when we had nothing to do, we would go down the mountain to catch fish in the small fish pond in Shenhe Village, or we would go to the teahouse in the market to listen to books, and we would often be punished by the master.

This time, when we have been away for so long, Master must have felt that the air was fresh and the roots of our ears were clear.

Thinking of Tang Huan, he couldn't help but worry about him, he left too quickly and didn't come back to get his baggage, I don't know if he still has silver taels on him, is it enough for him to return to Tongshan?

If he is penniless and desperate, will he sell his return? The more I thought about it, the more sad I felt, so I got up and changed into a pink and white dress, hung a tassel around my waist, and walked out of the courtyard slowly.

When I went out to meet Weiyang, he was wearing a dark robe and a hat on his head, I was shocked when I saw this, thinking that there was some killer ambush in all directions. Weiyang signaled to me to be reassured, stepped on the back of the horse and reached out to pull me.

"Where are you going?" I was a little puzzled, "I'm still waiting here for news." ”

"Come with me, Boss Hong is here, and he will send someone to tell me if there is any news." When he said this, I calmed down and obediently got on the horse.

I bumped all the way out of the East City Gate, and I didn't know where he was going to take me. After about half an hour, Weiyang finally took the reins and jumped off the horse, and then carried me down.

We were in the middle of a shady valley with a babbling brook and lush greenery with all sorts of unknown flowers and plants. Weiyang is still a vassal and elegant person, and he actually brought me to such a beautiful place to see the scenery.

Weiyang tied up his horse and pulled me to sit down on a huge rock, "I've always wanted to talk to you properly, and I happen to be free today." You've been suffocating in the courtyard these days, haven't you? ”

I nodded and said, "Senior Brother and Xiao Ran are not here, I am the only one, and you don't come to see me, of course I am suffocated." By the way, do you have any news from Xiao Ran? Why hasn't he taken me into the palace for so many days? ”

"He must want to seal the prince and then take you into the palace, and then you can directly remove Li Shao, and you don't have to be too anxious." Weiyang held my hand in the palm of his hand, but his eyes looked around quietly.

"But my task is to poison the two princesses Chaoyun and Lian Qing first, and only after it is successfully completed can I find another opportunity to kill Li Shao, this is what the master ordered, I can't disobey it." Weiyang's grip on my hand was visibly tight, and I looked up at him, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Weiyang's face turned sharply, and after a while, he said, "It's okay." Tassel, will you come back with me when you're done with your mission? ”

"Okay, I will definitely go back to Lou Country after I complete the mission!" I pulled out a big smile for him.

He frowned slightly, "I didn't mean Lou Guo ......"

Halfway through Weiyang's words, more than a dozen masked black-clothed men suddenly poured in on the other side of the valley. I hurriedly got up and pulled Weiyang to run away, but Weiyang stood in place without moving.

"Run! These men in black are here to kill you! I was so anxious that I jumped up and down, but Weiyang just grabbed my hand tightly and said for a long time: "Don't be afraid, it's just a turtle in an urn."

Before I could understand what he meant, I could only hear, "Oh no, there's an ambush!" Remove! The masked men in black were shot like hedgehogs by a rain of bows and arrows.

Only then did I see that the archers had already been ambushed around, and it turned out that Weiyang had deliberately lured the man in black here.

I saw that Weiyang slightly raised his left hand, and the archers put down their bows and arrows one after another. The masked man in black lay together, and the red blood flowed into the gurgling stream, dissolving into a faint pink.

My stomach churned, and I pressed hard against my heart to suppress the nausea.

Weiyang kicked one of the dying black-clothed men: "Go back and tell your master, no one can stop what I want to do, instead of spending all this effort here, it is better to think about how to protect myself in the future." ”

The man in black stood up with his shoulders on his shoulders and staggered out of the valley, worried about whether he would have the life to convey Weiyang's words.

"Who is the one who is going to kill you? It doesn't seem to be this group of people who were at the Fulai Inn that time? "I just feel like my head is mushy, and things in Weiyang are always so confusing.

"It's really not a group of people, this group is killers, those in the inn are spies from the government, there are some things I can't explain now, you wait, I'll tell you everything after you complete the task." After you enter the palace, you must be more careful, don't be as confused as now, I want to watch you come back safely. Weiyang pulled me into his arms and lightly imprinted a kiss on my forehead.

I immediately pushed him away, but turned my head to find that the archers around me had long since disappeared, "Where are they?" ”

A smile spread out of Weiyang's pale lips, and he stroked my long hair and said, "They are afraid of long needle eyes, so they are all gone." ”

I looked at the corpses all over the ground at my feet, and felt very disturbed, so I took his arm and said, "Then let's go too!" ”

After sending me back to the courtyard, Weiyang rode away, standing in front of the courtyard and watching his distant figure shrouded in a faint mist, I always felt strange in my heart, he seemed to be hiding a lot of things from me, but I couldn't guess what it was.

At this time, Boss Hong brought back a piece of news, which made me very excited. King Xiao issued a decree to canonize Li Xiaoran as the prince, and a canonization ceremony will be held on the 16th of next month. It seems that Xiao Ran's side is going well, and a few days later, someone from the palace was ordered to bring me into the palace.

When I first entered the Xiao Palace, the palace in front of me made me sigh at the corruption of the Xiao Kingdom, on the top of the towering Lone Peak, the golden glazed tile roofs were revealed between the clouds and mist, and the warm morning light shone dazzlingly on it. Stepping into the palace walls, those gorgeous pavilions are surrounded by clear pond water, duckweed is all over the ground, green and clear. Living in such a place, why can't you talk about wealth and nobility?

When the inner supervisor led me to the Yanhua Hall where Xiao Ran lived, Xiao Ran was sitting in front of the hall with a teacup in his clothes.

My eyes lit up, I didn't expect Xiao Ran to dress like this and really have the temperament of a son, so I stepped forward and saluted, and quipped: "The slave and maid see the son." ”

Xiao Ran's hand shook and almost threw the teacup out. He put the teacup back on the table with a straight face, got up and approached me, pulled my sleeve and walked to the side hall, still reading: "There is no one else here, don't make fun of me!" ”

"Anyway, my current identity is a maid, practice in advance, you have to get used to it quickly, don't lose your sense of proportion in front of others." After teaching Xiao Ran a lesson, I continued to look like a pleasing look, which made him disgusted for a while.
