Chapter 9 Change the name of the heart only for the king
The prince seems to care about Wulian? Ai Li secretly observed him. The anger in his eyes, the tone of his voice, didn't seem like he was faking. Ai Centrifugal passed through a complicated mood that did not know whether to be happy or sad.
At the same time, Li Chengqian was also looking at Ai Li. She is calm and calm, beautiful but unadorned, inadvertently exuding a sunny attraction, even knowing that she is the crown prince, her attitude has not changed in the slightest. He had never seen such a folk woman, and he couldn't help but be a little curious about her.
Because of this incident, everyone's interest in hunting suddenly disappeared. Li Chengqian sent his soldiers to look around, but they did not find any useful clues.
When the prince asked her if she was willing to go back to the house together, she immediately agreed.
Entering the prince's mansion, because of Wulian's relationship, the prince took good care of her and arranged a guest room for her.
In the guest room, Ai Li took the feather arrow and looked at it repeatedly. This is the most common type of feathered arrow, but the arrow has a faint blue light and a fishy pungent smell, indicating that it is poisonous. Although Ai Li couldn't tell what kind of poison it was, with her years of experience in the rivers and lakes, it was not a common poison.
Who wanted to assassinate the Prince?
Ai Li's lips pursed tightly, although the prince's matter has nothing to do with her, but since it has affected Wulian, then she can't ignore it!
After putting away his luggage and asking the maid on the side for directions, Ai Li walked towards the courtyard where Wulian was.
When she passed through a secluded courtyard, she caught a glimpse of a person, and her heart moved, and she quickly followed. The man dodged into a nearby room, and Ai Li chased after him.
Unlike the sunny outside, the room was extremely dark, and the windows on all sides were tightly sealed with black cloth. There was a small door in front of it, and there was an orange fire flickering inside the door.
Ai Li hesitated for a moment and cautiously walked towards the small door.
Inside the door is a closed room, about eight or nine zhang wide, there is a big tripod in the middle, firewood is burning under the tripod, and there is an elevated frame around the house, which is full of various materials. On the edge of Ding, a person wearing a blue-gray robe stood against the fire.
When the man saw Ai Li coming in, he said, "Ai Li, you can enter the prince's mansion, and you have some ability." But I advise you not to act rashly. His voice was cold, and an ebony mask obscured his entire face.
When Ai Li heard his voice, fire immediately welled up in his heart, and he said sarcastically: "Cangshi, it turns out that you have dressed up as a monk and a Taoist priest, and you really have a lot of masks!" ”
Cangshi didn't care, and said lightly: "Don't you think the mask is a very useful thing?" At least it can protect your face from damage. ”
Ai Li snorted and said, "I'm too lazy to care about your mask, but!" She asked in a sharp tone: "If you want to kill the prince, why do you have to implicate Wulian?" Did you know that you almost killed him today! ”
Cangshi's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said, "In your eyes, I'm so unbearable? Yes, I'm using him, but I'm not stupid enough to kill the wrong person. ”
"You're saying today's events have nothing to do with you?" Ai Li didn't believe it, and said, "Who will it be if it's not you!" ”
Cangshi's eyes rolled and said, "If you don't believe it, you can come at me, but I can tell you clearly that you have found the wrong person!" ”
Seeing his attitude, Ai Li said in disbelief: "You really didn't do it?" ”
Cangshi said coldly and arrogantly: "If I did it, I won't deny it." ”
Ai Li remembered that although he had used himself, he had never denied it. After a few contacts, Ai Li felt that although this person had a bad attitude, he was actually very proud, and if he really did it, he should admit it. She couldn't help frowning, "Who could it be?" ”
"I don't know about this yet, but I'll definitely find out." Cangshi observed her face, his sharp gaze softened, and said, "Whether you believe it or not, I don't want Wulian to do something too dangerous." I think our enemies should be the same now. ”
Ai Li stared at him, looked at him for a while, and finally relieved his tone and said, "Okay, I'll trust you for the time being." "This person did save Wulian once last time when he was in the dragon's lair, so you should be able to trust him once, right?
Seeing that she believed herself, Cangshi's eyes flashed with joy, and said, "I can promise you that I will try not to let Wulian participate in my affairs." But you must also promise me not to spoil my affairs. ”
Ai said strangely: "What do you want to do this time?" ”
Cang Shi stared at the refusal, and said, "You don't need to know this." You just need to know that I am on the same side as you in the matter of Wulian. ”
Ai Li thought for a moment and said, "That's it!" I don't care about your business, I'll take Wulian away, and you don't interfere. ”
A strange look appeared in Cangshi's eyes, but it disappeared in a flash. He lowered his eyes and said slowly: "Okay, let's high-five and swear, and we have nothing to do with each other." Whether you can take him away or not depends on your own ability. His expression was not visible under the ebony mask.
Ai Li nodded in agreement, and the two struck each other with their palms and made an agreement.
Ai left the Danfang and found Wulian's residence.
She saw that the prince had just come out of the courtyard, so she quickly took refuge by the roadside. In her eyes, the prince is an idle person, etc., if he can not provoke, he will not provoke, it is best to see Wulian, take him and leave directly.
Seeing the indifference in her eyes, the prince smiled slightly and walked away.
Ai Li entered the courtyard, and Wu Lian saw her through the window and hurriedly came out of the house.
He ran over happily and grabbed Ai Li's hand at once, snuggling Ai Li's arm like a kitten, and refused to let go. After many days, these hands are still as warm as before.
Ai Li also looked at him and smiled, compared to the last time they met, he was in good spirits, his fair face was flushed, and his ink eyes were as bright as black gems. Ai Li realized for the first time that Wulian was so beautiful.
The two talked about their separation slightly, and Ai Li said directly: "It's too dangerous here, you can go out with me." ”
Wu Lian's eyes flashed, and she said seriously: "Sister Ai, I don't want to go." ”
This was really surprising to Ai Li, and she hurriedly asked, "Why?" ”
Wu Lian looked at the pond with a blank face, and said with a fluttering look in her eyes: "Sister Ai, do you know? More than ten years ago, when our entire clan was wiped out, my mother fled with me to the Song Workshop. Subsequently, she was found by the wicked. Before I was killed, she begged the owner to take me in, but the owner saw that I had a talent for dancing, so he disguised me as a girl and hid me. So I grew up in Song Fang. When I was five years old, I began to learn to dance, and I was exposed to singing and dancing, which was the most beautiful thing in my heart, and only when I danced could I forget the fear of my people being killed. However, this beauty only lasted until I was 10 years old, the year I started performing on stage, and it was only then that I realized that the dance I had always loved was actually the most menial job. His voice grew lower and lower, and gradually he lost his voice.
After being silent for a while, his eyes regained their brilliance and said, "But! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that I was a good dancer, and he admired my dancing skills and helped me change my name to Satisfactory. He told me that only by doing what I want can I be satisfied. ”
Ai Li was surprised: "He changed your name?" ”
"Yes!" He said loudly, as if announcing something: "From now on, I am no longer Wu Pian who no one can pity, my name is 'satisfactory', I am 'satisfactory', I am 'satisfactory' as I want!" I want to stay with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and dance for him alone. ”
Ai Li looked at him, his eyes flashed movingly, there was no confusion and uneasiness in his eyes, and the whole person was radiant, exuding an indescribable dazzling brilliance.
"Okay." Ai Li finally said: "I will stay here for a while, and if you change your mind, I will take you away." ”
Ai Li left Wulian in amazement.
She walked slowly in the courtyard, thinking unwillingly, no wonder Cangshi was willing to make an agreement with him, it turned out that he had already determined that Wulian would not go with him. Deceived by him again!
That's right, satisfying the heart, Wulian is going to change her name to satisfying the heart. Do what you want, as you like, is what the prince said to him. What a chic idea. No wonder Wu Lian, no, wants to stay.
A rare hesitation suddenly rose in Ai Li's heart, should he care about this matter? Cangshi said that he was sixteen years old and had his own position and judgment. So should I take care of this matter or not?
Wrong! If he is in danger by the prince's side, he must at least help him find out whether the person who fired the cold arrow at him is coming at him or at the prince. Ai Li looked up and made a decision.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted in the distance: "'Flame Knife' Ai Li!" ”
Ai Li turned his head to look in the direction of the sound, and several military attendants were walking towards him, one of whom was waving to him.
The soldier hurriedly rushed over and said in surprise: "Ai Nuxia, it's really you!" I thought I was dazzled. You've also come to the Prince's Mansion? ”
"Hmm." Ai Li replied casually and recognized him: "You are the 'Silver Gun' Luo Dingyuan?" "Luo Dingyuan is the second son of the owner of Jinghu Mountain Villa, and Ai Li cooperated with him once in order to exterminate the bandits in Jinghu Mountain. Unexpectedly, he actually took refuge in the government.
Luo Dingyuan smiled and said, "Yes." ”
He turned his head to his companion and said, "She is the 'Flame Knife' Ai Li, and she is a famous heroine in the rivers and lakes!" That cooperation made him impressed by Ai Li's toughness.
There were three military attendants standing beside him, all of whom were young men in their twenties. Ai Li noticed that the corners of the mouth of one of the tall and thin soldiers floated with disdain.
At this time, Luo Dingyuan invited Ai Li: "Ai Nuxia, you can go to the school with us to make a few moves." ”
Ai Li glanced at the tall and thin man and agreed.
Luo Dingyuan said happily: "It's good now, with the help of the 'Flame Knife', next time we compete with the Han Palace, we will have a lot of certainty of winning." ”
