Volume 2 Chapter 108 Blood Feud in the Mountains (2)
Ling Yinyun got up early in the morning, and his mind was settled, so he was radiant and relaxed. He went to the queen mother's tent, and Xing Mengying was already waiting for him. Ling Yinyun said bluntly: "After thinking about it last night, I decided to agree to the queen. ”
Xing Mengying didn't seem to be surprised, smiled, and said softly: "Okay, it is worthy of the person who the mourning family fancies, this afternoon, the king is going to Dongyuan Mountain to hunt, so you will take this opportunity to kill the mourning family for the mourning family." ”
Ling Yinyun suddenly felt that something was wrong, and said suspiciously: "So suddenly? ”
Xing Mengying raised her pretty face, her eyes flashed, and she said coldly: "The mourning family understands that you want to think long-term, but sometimes things are successful, and you need a good opportunity, so you can't miss it." ”
Ling Yinyun frowned and said, "What should I do with my humble position?" ”
Xing Mengying said: "The mourning family will go in person in the afternoon, and I will inform you when the time comes." She stretched out her jade hand, gently raised her glass, and covered her other hand with her cuff, and drank from the cup. Then, she pointed to a glass of wine on the table and said, "This is a tribute to the famous wine, the mourning family is here, I wish you prosperity first." ”
Ling Yinyun took the wine cup, drank it all, and then bowed and left. As soon as he stepped out of the tent, less than a hundred steps, he saw Bai Wan coming towards him. Ling Yinyun was shocked in his heart, screaming that something was wrong, and was about to take a detour, but was caught up by Bai Wan.
Ling Yinyun remembered the previous and washed away the rumors, if she was angry because of this, she really didn't know how to deal with it.
Sure enough, Bai Wan was slightly displeased when she mentioned this matter. However, she showed joy again, and said diligently: "General Lingbing raised the prestige of our country and was promoted to a knighthood, I really underestimated you before." Since you are superb in riding and archery, this afternoon, Higashihara Mountain hunting, will you attend? ”
Ling Yinyun didn't know what kind of medicine her gourd was selling, and wondered, "I don't know what advice I have?" ”
Bai Wan smiled: "I will also attend today, let's compare to see who can have a good harvest." Maybe I'm not as good as you in riding and shooting, but I grew up in Jinglu since I was a child, and I know the terrain of Dongyuan Mountain, so I won't lose to you. ”
Ling Yinyun was stunned when he heard this, shook his head and smiled bitterly, he secretly thought, he thought that Bai Wan had no one in her eyes and was quite unreasonable, but according to her age, she was just a child naughty and messing around. Ling Yinyun said: "Okay, I'll compare with you." But you have to promise me that you will not bully anyone again. ”
Bai Wan thought for a moment and said, "Are you talking about that drinking?" Actually, that's not what I wanted. It was Yuan Zhong who was blind from the side, saying that he wanted to please me, so he came up with this plan. ”
Ling Yinyun suddenly realized, scratched his nose, and pretended to be confident: "Then a word is a certainty, today I will convince you and teach you not to dare to compete with me again." ”
Bai Wan laughed and said, "It's too early to speak bravely at this time. Ling Yinyun still had to prepare, hurriedly bid farewell to Bai Wan, and went back to the camp. Accompanied by the Ji sisters, he took a nap, got up immediately, got up a little, and set off for Dongyuan Mountain.
After a short time, he came to the bottom of the mountainside, and it was already full of people. The king of Dian Cheng shouted, and the generals who participated in the hunting feast galloped on horseback, and quickly rushed into the mountains and forests, and in less than a while, all the figures disappeared.
Ling Yinyun followed and walked towards the mountain. He slowed the reins and let the horse slow down, looking left and right. Sure enough, a man in a black cloak was standing.
Ahead, that person turned out to be Xing Mengying. Xing Mengying looked at Ling Yinyun and said with a light smile: "You don't need to be surprised, this matter should not be passed on to him, for the sake of prudence, mourn the family and come to mourn." ”
Ling Yinyun came to his senses and said, "I don't know what the plan is?" ”
Xing Mengying handed a bolt of arrows to Ling Yinyun and said, "Anyone who attends the hunt, for the sake of fairness, the middle of the arrows is painted with different patterns of glaze paint, and the feather arrows I just gave you are not colored." ”
Ling Yinyun exclaimed, "The queen wants me to shoot Pershing? ”
Xing Mengying said coldly: "This hunt, not only hiding in the forest, hiding people's ears and eyes, but also holding a bow in the light and following behind, is there a better way?" ”
Ling Yinyun asked, "The mountain is so big, how can I find him?" ”
Xing Mengying smiled and said, "I have eyeliner next to him, and in order to curry favor with King Dian Cheng, he has found a cave and intends to hunt bears." Xing Mengying handed him the silk map with the direction, and advised: "Remember, start cleanly." Ling Yinyun nodded, hurried to the designated place.
After a while, Bai Zilan rode a horse and appeared in front, he was calm and comfortable, as if he had been waiting for a long time. Ling Yinyun stopped in surprise, looked at him, and couldn't help but say, "What are you doing here?" ”
Bai Zilan said: "If you want to hunt, I will leave." If you want to kill, I advise you to give up. ”
Ling Yinyun was startled and said, "Do you know what I'm going to do?" ”
Bai Zilan nodded and said, "Fang Xu is my old acquaintance, and the two Ji sisters are both his adopted daughters. Tell me, will I be uninformed? ”
Ling Yinyun asked, "Why didn't you let me kill him?" ”
Bai Zilan shook her head and said with a smile: "If you kill him, the snipe and the clam will fight, and the queen will sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman." Only the dead will not tell the secret, and if you kill Pershing, you will not be able to live. ”
Ling Yinyun was surprised in his heart, and said suspiciously: "What evidence do you have?" Bai Zilan pondered for a long time, silent, and suddenly, he noticed the bundle of arrows behind Ling Yinyun, stepped forward, took off the arrows, and glanced at it, with a sudden expression on his face. Ling Yinyun hurriedly said, "What's wrong with this arrow?" ”
Bai Zilan took out his own arrow, compared the two, and explained: "Generally speaking, for the sake of fairness, except for painting, no matter the arrow, the body of the arrow and the tail feathers of the arrow, they must be the same. The arrows that the queen has given you are barbed and very different from those in my hand. If I'm not mistaken, your arrows also have barbs. ”
Ling Yinyun was surprised, hurriedly took off the quiver, took out the arrow to check, and sure enough, the arrow he was originally assigned did have a barb. Ling Yinyun gasped and secretly thought, if he really used the queen's arrow to shoot Pershing to death, he would be at a loss for words when he checked it out. He said in a trembling voice, "Could it be that the queen wants to frame me?" ”
Bai Zilan sneered: "This is not unexpected, because if it were me, I would do the same, only if you die, can you cover up the truth and teach people not to find out." ”
Ling Yinyun clenched his hands into fists, unwilling to believe it, but he had to believe it, gritted his teeth and said: "No wonder as the saying goes, the most poisonous woman's heart." ”
Bai Zilan said disapprerovingly: "If you can be the queen, do you think she is a good man and a woman?" If she didn't have a little skill, she would have been pushed into a dry well when she was already spoiling the concubine, and she would have died in vain. ”
Ling Yinyun lowered her head, eclipsed, and sighed: "Alas, I would believe her. ”
Bai Zilan said with a straight face: "If you want to be resentful, or regretful, it's not too late to return the account." Now you should think about whether you still want to kill Pershing. ”
Ling Yinyun asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Bai Zilan's eyes flashed and said, "You once promised the Ji sisters, do you want to be a traitor?" ”
Ling Yinyun was puzzled: "But if I do it now, it will be difficult to protect myself." ”
Bai Zilan smiled and said, "Since I appeared here, do you think I am not prepared?" Ling Yinyun lowered his head, pondered for a long time, and hesitated. Bai Zilan saw through his thoughts and said, "Don't worry, I won't force you to join my camp because of this matter." If I do this, you will not be willing to do it to me. ”
Ling Yinyun said, "Can you help me kill Pershing?" ”
Bai Zilan's eyes flashed, the corners of her mouth lifted lightly, and she said in a deep voice: "Do you really think that everyone is immersed in hunting in this feast?" Pershing is a member of the prince's gang, and it makes sense for me to deal with him. I had prepared my men to deal with Pershing. But I am short of manpower, and I can't kill him, but I just stir up strife. ”
Ling Yinyun asked, "What are you going to do?" ”
Bai Zilan took out two bundles of arrows from the cloth wrap, smiled, and said, "These two bundles of arrows are the key. The paint on them belonged to Xu Gong and Liu Wuhuang respectively, both of whom were from Le Pingjun. I will shoot Pershing with this arrow and blame it on them, causing a rift between Le Pingjun and the crown prince. ”
Ling Yinyun was surprised: "This trick is really powerful. It was only then that he realized how ignorant he was and how involved he was in this power struggle, but he was powerless and at the mercy of others.
Bai Zilan smiled slightly and said: "On the battlefield, if you want to shoot a person, you can do it blindfolded, but in the officialdom, if you want to kill a person, you must calculate carefully, not to mention, as a general, how can Pershing let you kill easily." ”
Ling Yinyun suddenly said, "Then what should we do now?" ”
Bai Zilan dismantled one of the arrows, divided them in half, and handed them to Ling Yinyun. He said: "I received news that Liu Wuhuang followed Wang Shang in order to perform, and he was far away from Pershing, so it was inconvenient to frame him. The arrow I just gave you is Xu Gong's arrow. ”
Ling Yinyun's heart froze, and he said, "Have you even calculated this?" ”
Bai Zilan said in a deep voice: "Those who have achieved great things, act cautiously, and it is superior." He took the reins of his horse and said, "It's almost time, and it's too late." With that, he kicked off his horse's belly and galloped away. Ling Yinyun stopped making a sound, followed behind Bai Zilan, and shuttled through the mountains and forests.
After a while, they came to a small hillside, loosened the reins, and walked slowly. Ling Yinyun looked down and found Pershing with dozens of people, patrolling through the forest. He frowned and said, "There are a little more people, so it's not easy to start." ”
Bai Zilan said: "It seems that they are drunk, and they are not hunting." If they want to kill, who will they kill in this hunt? While speaking, Bai Zilan stared at Ling Yinyun and smiled slightly.
Ling Yinyun exclaimed, "They want to deal with me? ”
Bai Zilan said: "If I were the crown prince or Jiang Ping, there would be no better way to kill you than at this time." Ling Yinyun originally felt a little guilty about killing Pershing, but when he heard that he also had killing intent towards himself, he was furious, and he couldn't wait to set off now and take his life.
Ling Yinyun asked, "How do we start?" ”
Bai Zilan smiled slightly: "Do you remember when we were children, we hunted a group of deer? At that time, the victory and defeat were not scored, why don't we continue this time and see who can hunt more deer? ”
Ling Yinyun looked up to the sky and smiled, "Okay, if you lose, please drink." ”
Bai Zilan said: "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase. Before they could say anything, the two of them rushed down the hill. Before the group of people could react, Ling Yinyun and Bai Zilan raised their bows one after another, and they couldn't help but shoot at them.
