The Eighty-First Palm: The Assassin Appears (Part I)

In the stable, Yan Cao, who was putting on the saddle, looked around, and after making sure that there were no outsiders, he talked to Ding Guang next to him: "Brother Ding, is Miss's decision too impulsive?" ”

Regarding Lin Yueying's gamble, Ding Guang disagreed: "Is there one? ”

"Of course! Think about it, if she loses, won't we be restrained by the Lingyun Palace? ”

"But if she didn't have the guts, would you and I still be able to take our lives on her?"

Ding Guang's answer just now surprised Yan Cao, and now Ding Guang's answer is even more surprising to Yan Cao: "Why do you trust her so much?" ”

This time, Ding Guang did not answer directly, but put down the work in his hand and asked Yancao: "I think when the master is looking for Miss, why doesn't Miss want anything, just want power?" ”

"What else can it be, it's nothing more than convenience to instruct us to do things. Last time, I helped her find a jade pendant, and now I catch game for her. ”

"So far, Miss has indeed asked us to do these unrelated things, but have you ever thought about what she wants to do if she is a woman and is not an official?"

This is also where Yancao can't figure it out.

If Lin Yueying is a man, it is reasonable for her to want power and officials, but she is her daughter's family, what does she want power for?

"What she actually wants is not power, but her own life talisman!"

Ding Guang's words made Yancao a little confused, and even the family members on the side listened secretly, after all, in the past half a year, they could see Lin Yueying's personality clearly, she seemed innocent, but when she really wanted her to come up with an idea, she still dared to think and dare to do it.

Ding Guang continued: "You think, if He Hao knew that she had something to do with us, with her temperament, she would naturally resist everything alone, and then this Lin Mansion would repeat the tragedy of ten years ago; But now that she has the jade pendant in her hand, the master has to protect her and help her complete what she wants to do and must do, and the master will naturally not let He Hao move her. ”

"What can be seen from this?"

"When the master looked for Miss for the second time, he was bound to tell Miss everything, but Miss only talked to Master Luo and asked for power after talking to Master, which is enough to see that Miss is calm and decisive! With such a temperament, he will never back down in case of trouble! ”

Ding Guang's words made Yan Cao fall into deep thought.

In fact, with a temperament like Lin Yueying, who knows how to advance and retreat, if she hadn't met Qi Yu, maybe she would be picked up by the Chu Mansion one day, and she would be the young lady of the Chu Mansion safely, and she wouldn't have to gamble on herself because she provoked He Yan.

In front of the station, there were many children of the official family, and they heard about the gambling game between Lin Yueying and He Li, so they all came to see if it was true or false.

"Did you hear that? The second son of the Lingyun Mansion wants to compete with the niece of the Yin State Mansion, Lin Yueying, the daughter of the Cheng family in the imperial history, to try hunting! ”

"How can these people who can't beat the eight poles want to gamble a game?"

"It's not their gamble!"

"That's not the point? What could be more shocking than that? ”

"Guess what they're all betting on?"

"What is it?"

"It's themselves!"

"They...... Myself? Is that what is the statement? ”

"Oh, you brain...... They, Lin Yueying and He Li, the two of them, take themselves as bets, if Lin Yueying loses, she is He Li; If He Li loses, he is Lin Yueying's! ”

"Really? So how can they gamble on themselves? ”

"Only they know about it, but ......"

The man was a little innocent: "But who came up with such an inhumane idea?" Forget it, my father doesn't love my mother, but why did Lin Yueying agree to this gamble? ”

"Who knows."

How would that person know the real reason for this?

The man suddenly lowered his voice and said, "You say, if Lin Yueying loses, will Chu Lin still fulfill the marriage contract with her?" ”

The people who listened were a little ill-intentioned: "Let's not talk about whether Chu Lin will fulfill the marriage contract, let's just say this Lin Yueying, after this incident, I am afraid that her reputation will be completely ruined!" ”

"Not really."

He Daizong, who went to the camp with He Li, saw that the crowd of onlookers were all pointing at him, so he couldn't help but ask He Li beside him: "Why are they looking at us like this?" ”

What He Daizong asked was also what Zhong wanted to know.

He Li held the reins, stroked the horse's mane, and did not directly answer He Daizong's question: "I'll talk to you about this later." ”

"Why wait a little longer, can't you say it now?"

"...... Now"

"Look, Luo Gongzi is here!"

He Lizheng was explaining to He Daizong, but was interrupted by this sentence excitedly.

He Daizong looked back when he heard the sound, and saw Luo Shaoqing walking slowly with Lin Yueying and others.

First, a large group of people were waiting here, and now Luo Shaoqing came over with a large group of people, and He Daizong was strange again: "Luo Gongzi is ......?"

He Li looked at Lin Yueying beside Luo Shaoqing, but still didn't answer.

Chu Xingluo, who was following Lin Yueying, complained to Lin Yueying dissatisfiedly: "Sister Yueying, how can you agree to such a ridiculous thing as He Yan?" She robbed Brother Yuelang, and we asked her to get people back, why did you promise to do something ridiculous? ”

"That's it!"

Luo Shaoyuan, who was following them, also complained: "This matter is why she is not authentic, and what kind of gambling game is she mentioned, you shouldn't promise her, what can she do with Yuelang?" ”

"That's it!"

Chu Xingluo seemed to have reached an agreement with Luo Shaoyuan with one nostril, and they were all accusing Lin Yueying.

"Okay, it's come to this, it's useless for you to complain about Yueying."

Luo Shaoqing interrupted Chu Xingluo and Luo Shaoyuan's accusations against Lin Yueying, and Luo Shaoyi, who had been looking left and right, also muttered: "Where is Lin?" ”

Fan Ruodi, who also didn't see Chu Lin, also added: "At this juncture, even if Lin is angry again, he won't show up." ”

Luo Shaoqing didn't answer, and looked at Lin Yueying, who had been bowing her head and being silent.

Luo Shaoqing and the others walked in front of He Li.

"Master Luo, Miss Lin, everyone."

"You don't need to be polite."

Luo Shaoqing rejected He Li's politeness, called Lin Feng, and asked him to follow He Li, and Luo Sanchuan looked at Luo Shaoqing and Lin Yueying as He Yan said before.

Luo Shaoyuan was still indignant about this gamble, but before leaving, she still put on a cloak for Lin Yueying, covered her tightly with a cloak, and told Lin Yueying one by one: "Don't ride too fast, it's not good to fall down; Don't be reckless, there's a brother here, you know? ”

Even Fan Ruojiao comforted: "Yes, with Shaoqing's cousin here, you will definitely not be able to lose." ”

Now Lin Yueying, with a heavy mood, did not laugh as usual, but simply replied: "I know." ”

Luo Shaoyuan saw that Lin Yueying was in a heavy mood, and she didn't know whether it was Chu Lin's business or Lin Yuelang's business, so she didn't want to put too much pressure on her, so she didn't say anything more, but Chu Xingluo was still indignant: "When did the eldest brother become so cautious, and he still hasn't shown up yet!" ”

"Wait!"

Just when Chu Xingluo was indignant, a familiar shout came from not far behind them, Lin Yueying and Chu Xingluo looked back and saw Yuan Cheng.

Lin Yueying was not surprised at all by Yuan Cheng's appearance, but Chu Xingluo said nonchalantly: "Yuan Gongzi is quite fast. ”

Yuan Cheng, who hurried to the front of the station, glanced at He Li, adjusted his breath, and then slowly walked to Lin Yueying: "What's the matter?" How could you and He Li have such a gamble? ”

Yuan Cheng asked, obviously because he didn't know the truth.

"There's a reason for that."

As for what the reason, Lin Yueying didn't say it, she was afraid that if she said it, she would definitely be laughed at by Yuan Cheng, looking at her hesitation, but Yuan Cheng looked at it in her eyes: "It seems that this is not simple, do you need help?" ”

Lin Yueying shook her head: "No, He Yan said, I can only find someone to help, and Cousin Shaoqing has already promised to help me." ”

"Yes."

Yuan Cheng looked at Luo Shaoqing with some disappointment, and asked Lin Yueying again: "Can I go together?" ”

"Together?"

Let's not say whether He Li will agree or not, but Yuan Cheng followed Lin Yueying, and Lin Yueying was afraid that she would be so nervous that she couldn't pull the bow.

"Absolutely. Lord Lilan didn't say that no one could be watching, right, second son. ”

Because Lin Yueying didn't answer Yuan Cheng, Luo Shaoqing readily agreed for her, and looked at He Li as she spoke.

Since Yuan Cheng's appearance, He Li and Luo Sanchuan have almost looked at him at the same time, his appearance is not strange, but what is strange is his relationship with Lin Yueying.

He Li didn't answer, it was still Luo Sanchuan who replied: "That's nature." ”

It was snowing for two days in tandem, so it was a good day.

"Lin Yueying and He Li try hunting? How can two people who can't hit these eight poles try to hunt? ”

Liu Houxin in the tent listened to the news sent back by the little maid.

The little servant continued: "Yuan Gongzi also followed. ”

"Yuan Cheng?"

"Yes."

Liu Houxin was not interested in the news just now, but as soon as he heard that Yuan Cheng also followed, he was a little nervous for Yuan Cheng. They shouldn't have a personal relationship, let alone appear together in front of the public, what is Yuan Cheng trying to do this?

Lin Feng, who was transferred from Luo Sanchuan, rode a high-headed horse and followed He Li's side not far away.

He Daizong, who was walking side by side with He Li, looked back at Lin Feng behind He Li's left, and then thought about Luo Sanchuan, who had just followed Lin Yueying before leaving, the more he thought about it, the more strange it became: "He Li, are you looking for me to come out really just hunting?" What did Luo Gongzi mean by what he said just now? ”

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that Lord Lilan asked me to try hunting with Lin Yueying."

He Li said flatly, but He Daizong felt that things were not so simple: "Try hunting? How could the county lord of Lilan have such idleness? ”

"I don't know when the county lord of Lilan tied up Lin Yuelang and used him to blackmail Lin Yueying to gamble with me......"

"Lord Lilan tied up Lin Yuelang?"

What He Li said made He Daizong a little surprised.

"Originally, the county lord of Lilan just asked me to try archery with Lin Yueying, but Lin Yueying said that he wanted to try hunting, so this is the current situation."

He Li simply recounted the matter, and He Daizong also roughly understood the reason, but what he couldn't figure out was that He Yan and Lin Yueying did not intersect, how could she let He Li compete with Lin Yueying for no reason?

"Since it's a gamble, there must be a bet, what is the bet?"

"It's me and Lin Yueying."

He Li replied plainly, shocking He Daizong's dumbfounded, but he thought about it carefully, if He Li won, his situation would be even worse; But if he loses, his dignity will be swept away, but it is not without benefits.

Luo Jinmin is a corporal, but He Hao is arbitrary and arbitrary, everyone knows this, if He Li breaks away from the Lingyun Mansion and takes refuge in the Yin Kingdom Mansion, it may not be a bad thing.

He Daizong's sudden silence made He Li a little surprised, he shouldn't have reacted like this.

"You don't have any thoughts about this?"

Of course, He Daizong had his thoughts, but the people who followed them were not Lin Feng, except for Zhong and He Daizong's few entourages, all of whom were from the Lingyun Palace, how could he say what he thought.

"Yes."

"What?"

"It's okay if you lose, if you win, Chu Lin is afraid that he won't let you go."

He Daizong mentioned Chu Lin, and He Li couldn't cry or laugh, but what he was not innocent about was why He Daizong said that it was okay if he lost? But He Daizong didn't answer him, he shook the horse's neck with the reins, and let the horse run, and He Li, who had not waited for an answer, also kicked the horse's belly with both legs, so that the horse caught up with He Daizong, and shouted vigorously: "Finish speaking!" ”

Shuchen, who was riding a horse and following Lin Yueying, looked coldly at Yuan Cheng, who was listening to Lin Yueying tell the truth behind this gamble.

Yuan Cheng, who was walking side by side with Lin Yueying, listened to what Lin Yueying said, and in addition to being anxious about Lin Yuelang's situation, he asked the most important reason: "Why did He Yan arrest Yuelang?" ”

Lin Yueying really didn't know this: "I don't know about this." ”

The cause of this incident, Luo Shaoqing may have guessed: "When Qingluo next to the young kite came back, he said that when the young kite saw Prince Mu yesterday, He Yan was also there. ”

Yuan Cheng: "Then it makes sense." ”

Lin Yueying: "How do you say that?" ”

Yuan Cheng: "Yin-eyed people know that He Yan likes Prince Mu, but she knows that you are matching Prince Mu and Miss Luo, so she thought of such a place to take revenge on you." ”

Lin Yueying: "Then she's really ......"

Lin Yueying was just about to say the word "despicable" when she remembered that there was a Luo Sanchuan behind her, so she didn't blurt it out.

Lin Yueying omitted those two words and continued: "She can't let others touch what she likes?" ”

Yuan Cheng: "Yes, He Yan is powerful, if you are powerful, you will not be moved; If you move, you won't be able to turn over! ”

Luo Shaoqing: "Can't turn over?" ”

It's really not up to her!

Luo Shaoqing didn't say the last sentence, but Yuan Cheng had already guessed eight points in his serious and arrogant expression.

Also, He Yan had a holiday with Luo Shaoqing, and now He Yan is making trouble again, no matter how good Luo Shaoqing's temper is, he will never give in again!

Halfway through the hour, the fog in the morning had almost dispersed, and thankfully, there was no more snow today, but it was still just as cold.

Lin Yueying, who was shivering by the cold wind, grabbed the saddle bridge and lay on the horse's back, pulled down the brim of her hat, and tried her best to avoid the cold wind that she couldn't hide from at all. It can be said that she has no dignity at all, which caused Luo Shaoqing and Yuan Cheng on both sides to laugh.

Lin Yueying tugged at the brim of her hat again, and complained coldly: "I knew it was so cold, I would have guessed with He Li, and now I guess whether I win or lose, so I don't need to come out to blow the cold wind!" ”

Lin Yueying's words didn't know the seriousness, Luo Shaoqing would be angry even if he spoke well: "You, you deserve to be scolded by Lin!" ”

Yuan Cheng: "Chu Lin scolded you?" Is it because you agreed to the gamble? ”

I don't know if Lin Yueying is still guilty of quarreling with Chu Lin, or if she is just impatient, and her temper is a little irritable: "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes." Because of this gamble, I also had a fight, so he won't be here now. ”

"I mean, I haven't seen him since I came."

"Then go back to him, if you don't know the way, I'll have someone take you there."

"What am I looking for him to do, his person is serious, how boring, unlike you, if you want to come out, it's like now!"

Lin Yueying said that Yuan Cheng could go next, but Lin Yueying, who really couldn't reply to him, glanced at Yuan Cheng stingily, but countered Yuan Cheng's ridicule.

Regarding the jokes between the two of them, Luo Shaoqing only remained on the sidelines, and Luo Sanchuan, who was next to Shuchen, looked coldly at Lin Yueying and Yuan Cheng in front of him.

The reason why there is a three-legged situation in the court now is because of Yuan Heng and Lin Jinzhuo, and as their respective children, even if they don't share the sky, it should be that the well water does not interfere with the river water, but now Luo Sanchuan looks at Lin Yueying and Yuan Cheng, as if they have been friends for many years.

The fog in the air gradually dissipated, and a ray of sunlight shone through the thick clouds and shone on the grass, but the temperature didn't seem to rise, just like that Lin Yueying, even if she added a blanket, she was still so cold that she was about to cry.

Luo Shaoqing looked around and felt that something was wrong: "Don't you think it's too quiet here?" ”

"It's so quiet."

Yuan Cheng also felt that it was too quiet, but Lin Yueying, who couldn't feel anything, shivered with cold and said, "Thousands of people have come here, and those animals have long been scared away. Besides, haven't you been hunting for days? ”

"That's what I said, but it's surprisingly quiet."

While Luo Shaoqing was talking, Shuchen and Luo Wei looked at both sides at the same time, but before the two of them could take a closer look, the horses under them stopped moving forward, and even began to be restless, not only the horses under the two of them, but even the other horses were also restless.

Lin Yueying, who was lying on the horse's back, got up slightly, but still maintained a lying posture, because Chu Lin said that if the horse is restless, it will not be easy to fall off while lying on its stomach.

Luo Shaoqing and Yuan Cheng wanted to calm down the horses, but no matter what they did, the horses just couldn't be quiet, and some horses even started to run around.

"What's going on?"

Luo Wei didn't notice anything, so he couldn't answer Luo Shaoqing's question, he only said, "I didn't find anything abnormal." ”

"Nothing unusual? Isn't that unusual now? ”

Luo Shaoqing said that, he stretched out his hand to Lin Yueying: "Yueying, give me the reins." ”

Lin Yueying did not answer, nor did she give the reins to Luo Shaoqing, because, at the same time that Luo Shaoqing said this, Yuan Cheng also happened to say this.

Lin Yueying, who was quite calm, reluctantly let go of her left hand and wanted to hand the reins to Yuan Cheng on her left side, but at this moment, a group of wolves suddenly burst out of the grass, making the already restless horses even more restless, and Lin Yueying could only regain hold of the saddle bridge.

The wolves that suddenly came out bit when they saw people, and even pounced on the people on horseback, including Lin Yueying.

Luo Shaoqing and Yuan Cheng saw the two wolves rushing towards Lin Yueying from the front, and immediately pulled out their respective swords and killed the two wolves, but they were only two of them, and there were more to come......

"Protect Childe and Miss Cousin!"

Luo Wei ordered that the leaders surrounded Lin Yueying, Luo Shaoqing, and even Yuan Cheng, but just as they were about to surround the three of them, an arrow suddenly flew from the rear and approached Lin Yueying.

Luo Sanchuan in the crowd could completely block the sword, but he just watched and didn't move, as if he drew his sword to kill the wolves that pounced on him, just defending himself, and not protecting anyone like others.

Luo Shaoqing and Yuan Cheng have been guarding in front of Lin Yueying, Luo Wei and Shuchen are protecting Lin Yueying's back and around, the arrow is shot from behind, just rubbing shoulders with Luo Wei Shuchen, the two of them raised their swords and were about to cut it, but unfortunately, Shuchen shot too fast, and before the arrow came, the sword in his hand was cut down first, and he pounced, fortunately, Luo Wei guessed the right time, and a sword was cut on the waist of the arrow, but the arrow was surprisingly hard, and Luo Wei failed to cut it.

The arrow was extremely hard and fast, and when it brushed with Luo Wei's blade, it continued to shoot at Lin Yueying, and Shuchen wanted to intercept it again, but it was too late.

The arrow, thicker than two fingers, pierced into the flesh solidly, and then there was a mournful cry that pierced the sky.

Although Luo Wei's sword failed to cut off the arrow, it fortunately changed its course and stabbed the horse under Lin Yueying, not Lin Yueying.

The horse that was hit by an arrow raised its front legs with a scream, fortunately, Lin Yueying was lying on the horse's back, so she was not thrown off by the horse, but as soon as the horse's front feet landed, the horse rushed forward as if it were dead, and directly rushed away from Luo Shaoqing and Yuan Cheng's horses, kicked over two wolves in a row, and rushed out of the crowd with Lin Yueying.

"Moonlight!"

Luo Shaoqing and Yuan Cheng saw Lin Yueying rushing out of the crowd alone, and they wanted to catch up, but she ran away, and the other wolves surrounded the breakthrough again, and the two of them had no choice but to continue to kill those wolves.

Luo Sanchuan saw that Lin Yueying ran away, but did not catch up, because Lin Yueying had no bow or arrow, if she had a big life, maybe it would be over when the horse calmed down, or maybe when Luo Shaoqing caught up and saved her, or directly threw off the horse's back and threw her to pieces, Luo Sanchuan saved trouble.

With Lin Yueying's strength, it was impossible to stop the horse, all she could do now was to hold on to the saddle bridge and the reins to prevent herself from falling off the horse, but this crazy horse was running so fast, her legs were already frightened.

"Lin."

Lin Yueying buried her head between her wrists and shouted the most familiar name, but that person was not beside her.

The warm sunlight, shining on a sharp arrow, reflected the blinding light.

A wide and strong right hand let go of the arrow on the arrow string, and the tight string shot the two-finger-wide arrow towards Lin Yueying in the distance.

The silver-white sword, whirling from behind, met the arrow, and shot it down with precision.

Lin Yueying was not aware of the danger that was close at hand, until there was a sharp sound in her ears, she raised her face from between her wrists, looked to the right, and saw a man dressed in black in the distance on the right at a glance, and what was even more eye-catching was the word "sin" on his right face.

Did it appear?

The assassin who had been on guard finally appeared, which really made Lin Yueying panic and excited, and she didn't pay attention to where the other party was looking.

The Assassin glanced behind his left and pondered for a moment, then took an arrow from his quiver and re-mounted his bow.

The person chasing from behind, holding the reins and the saddle bridge with one hand, turned sideways to the right, picked up the sword he had just thrown out, and when he got up, he saw that the assassin was about to shoot Lin Yueying again, and immediately threw his sword over again when the assassin was shooting an arrow.

The arrow shot by the assassin, Lin Yueying still didn't pay attention to it, but the sword thrown from behind, Lin Yueying could see it clearly, it was Chu Lin's Kunshan Hanyu Sword!

Lin Yueying hurriedly looked back to the right rear, and really saw Chu Lin coming on horseback.

"Lin!"

Lin Yueying shouted at Chu Lin, completely forgetting about the quarrel between herself and Chu Lin just now.

Chu Lin didn't respond, picked up the Kunshan Hanyu Sword and moved closer to Lin Yueying.

The assassin saw that Chu Lin was moving closer to Lin Yueying, and directly took out three arrows and shot at Lin Yueying, Chu Lin didn't panic, let go of the saddle bridge and changed his hand, took off the soft gold bell whip on his waist and knocked down the three arrows.

"Let go of the saddle bridge and the reins, and sit up straight!"

Lin Yueying didn't know what Chu Lin was going to do, but she believed in Chu Lin, so she did what Chu Lin said without hesitation.

Chu Lin threw out the soft gold bell whip again, but this time the target was not the assassin, but Lin Yueying.

The soft golden bell whip thrown out hit Lin Yueying's waist and wrapped it around it, and when it was over, Chu Lin just threw up the soft gold bell whip high, and threw Lin Yueying up in a daze, Chu Lin drove over again and caught Lin Yueying steadily.

"Lin ......"

Before Lin Yueying could speak, Chu Lin put her in front of him and sat down, and pressed her on the horse's neck.

The reason why Chu Lin did this was just that he didn't want to accidentally injure Lin Yueying when he fought with the assassin later, but Lin Yueying was now in front of Chu Lin, still lying on his stomach, and the two people who were close at hand couldn't help but have some contact on their bodies, where did Lin Yueying dare to lie on her stomach, she immediately bounced up from the horse's neck, but she just got up and pressed Chu Lin back again: "Don't move while lying on your stomach!" ”

Lin Yueying didn't want to move either.

Chu Lin took Lin Yueying to his side, and the assassin had already taken the bow and pulled the string, but for some reason, the other party did not release the arrow.

Chu Lin wrapped the reins around the wrist of his left hand, blocked the Kunshan Hanyu Sword at Lin Yueying's side, looked at the assassin, and saw the eye-catching word "sin" on the assassin's face at a glance, and knew who the person was coming, and suddenly his anger and blood surged: "I found the door myself, so I don't have to go to you!" ”

"Young Master Chu, I only want her life, and I ask Young Master Chu to make it convenient!"

Young Master Chu? What's the matter, the assassin knew Chu Lin? Or, the person who sent the assassin knew Chu Lin?
