Chapter 16: The Messenger
King Xiao guessed correctly, Princess Qingying was indeed looking for the fifth line.
However, the fifth line has never dealt with women, and was suddenly entangled by a woman, and he was at a loss for a while, and he didn't know how to deal with it. Princess Qingying acted boldly and recklessly, and even pretended to be a good friend of the fifth line in front of Hu Daiwei. Although the fifth line was very angry, in front of Hu Daiwei, he was not easy to attack.
The fifth line understood what Hu Daiwei meant, so he didn't explain it to him again. He waited hard until the next day, and finally said goodbye to Hu Daiwei and his wife, planning to meet King Xiao and prepare to leave for Sichuan.
Princess Qingying still followed him, and he didn't bother to pay attention to it, so he just went back to the city on his own. He was quick on his feet, and he could have easily thrown the princess off, but for some reason, it wouldn't be long before the princess caught up with him again.
But now the thing that worries him the most is no longer the princess's tracking. Ever since he saw Sheng Mo in Cuiyun Tower, he always felt that there seemed to be an extra pair of eyes behind him. Unlike the princess's stalking, these eyes seem to be always behind him, invisible and untouchable. Although he didn't find anything suspicious other than the princess, he was sure that there were such eyes behind him. He couldn't find the other party, there was only one reason, the other party must be a master. Last time, he also found a woman who was following him, but that woman's skills were not high-ranking at all. If she followed, she would definitely be able to catch her within three miles.
He had already entered the city, and the princess was still following him, and he was too lazy to chase her. As long as he has seen King Xiao, he can get rid of the princess at will.
He originally planned to go to King Xiao's mansion, but King Xiao's people had already found him first.
"Shaoxia, but you're looking for someone?" A passerby asked.
The fifth line immediately understood, and replied, "Yes." ”
"This way, please." The man replied.
He followed passers-by to an inn, and King Xiao was waiting for him in a private room.
The fifth line was puzzled: "Why did you meet here?" ”
King Xiao replied, "It's convenient to drink." ”
Line 5 answers: "You know you don't like the wine here." ”
King Xiao smiled: "Cuiyunxiang? Brought. ”
The fifth line saw that King Xiao really brought Cuiyunxiang, but he still didn't understand why he did this: "Drinking Cuiyunxiang can be in Cuiyunlou, why do you want to come here?" ”
"The walls have ears." King Xiao whispered.
The fifth line finally understood now, it seemed that King Xiao felt the same as him, and seemed to have discovered something.
"What did the prince find?"
King Xiao replied, "No." But this king believes in your feelings. ”
When the fifth line entered the palace yesterday, he felt that someone was following him, and he didn't believe it when he was worried and when he was defeated, but King Xiao believed it.
Seeing that the words had already been spoken, the fifth line asked, "What does the prince plan to let Zai do below?" ”
King Xiao said: "Qingju Mountain is not far from Phoenix Mountain, so it is difficult for the Tang Sect to get out of the matter, you can start investigating this case from the Tang Gate." ”
The fifth line said: "I have no contact with the Tang Sect, I'm afraid it will be difficult to start." Besides, if the people in the Tang Sect knew that the fifth line was going for this case, I am afraid they would not be welcome. ”
King Xiao said: "This king has already thought about it. This king has some friendship with the old predecessors of Tang Mugong, the master of the Tang Gate, so he specially took a letter of resignation, and you took this as a gift of recommendation, and the right to be the messenger of this king. Tang Mugong saw that he was the person of this king, and he would not dare to slack off. If this matter is related to them, you just go to the Tang Gate to investigate carefully; If this matter has nothing to do with them, the Tang Sect will definitely do its best to help you clear their suspicions. ”
After King Xiao finished speaking, Wu Buxiao immediately took out two letters from his arms. The fifth line took a look, one of them was for Tang Mugong, and the other was for himself.
The fifth line was even more puzzled, and asked, "What can't you make clear now?" Why do you have to write a letter? ”
King Xiao said: "The matter in the letter is the method of communication between you and me. Horses and banks were prepared outside the store, and wherever the fifth young man went, the king's good wine would be delivered. In this way, can the young man be satisfied? ”
The fifth line replied: "It couldn't be better......"
There was something to say in the fifth line, but King Xiao interrupted: "That's good, this king will leave first." In order to avoid people's eyes, the fifth young man can drink two glasses before leaving. ”
As soon as King Xiao left, the fifth line immediately opened the letter to himself, only to see that it read: "If the fifth young man is followed by a young girl, this woman is the person who contacts the king and the young man." She will investigate the case with Shaoxia, and after Shaoxia closes the case, she should hand over this person safely to this king as soon as possible. ”
King Xiao knew that the fifth line had always disliked being with women, so he did not say it directly during the banquet, but wrote this in the letter. After he left, even if he didn't want to, the fifth line couldn't defend himself. The fifth line is the swordsman with the best reputation, even if he knows that this woman is King Xiao's person, he will definitely not abandon her.
It's just that the fifth line is still a little unhappy: "How can King Xiao do this, why did he find a woman to investigate the case with me?" Are there no good men in the world? What a hassle! What a big hassle! Although I was unwilling, I regretted it.
The fifth was full of food and drink, and had just left the door, but he saw that the princess had already ridden a good horse and was waiting for him at the door. There is another horse in his hand, but it is for the fifth row.
King Xiao had already told the princess what had happened, and agreed to let her go out to walk the rivers and lakes, but she had to go out with the fifth line. The princess was distressed that He Mingmu followed the fifth line, and she was naturally very happy to learn of this, so she readily agreed.
The fifth line did not hesitate, snatched his horse, and said to the princess: "Your name is Wu Zhizhi?" ”
The princess smiled and replied, "Yes." ”
The fifth line suddenly said with a dark face: "If you can't write it, you can't do it, I really don't know why the prince sent you here?" After saying that, he ignored her, mounted his horse and galloped away.
Wu Zhizhi rode on the horse and hurriedly chased after him, and said unconvinced: "You don't look down on people, this girl is very capable, you will know in the future." ”
The fifth line replied: "Hugh gossip, catch up with me first, and count your skills." ”
As soon as Wu Zhizhi heard this, she knew that the fifth line wanted to get rid of her again. But now they rode all good horses, and they were not slow, so the princess was not afraid of him, and said proudly, "Look where you run." ”
The two horsemen quickly flew away from the capital and headed straight west. Fifty miles ahead, Wu Zhizhi's horse can still catch up. But after fifty miles, the speed of the horses in the fifth line did not decrease at all, but continued to increase. No matter how Wu Zhizhi beat the horse, it was difficult to catch up, so she watched the fifth line throw herself off little by little.
One hundred and fifty miles later, Wu Zhizhi came to a crossroads, but he had completely lost the whereabouts of the fifth line.
Wu Zhizhi had a fire in his heart, so he took the horse he sat down to vent his anger: "People are thousands of horses, and you are also thousands of horses, why can't you outrun others?" ”
Unbeknownst to her, the fifth line secretly used internal force when riding a horse, which allowed the mount to save a lot of physical strength. Although they are all thousands of horses, the horses in the fifth row are hundreds of miles away, and they can still fly and gallop wildly. Although Wu Zhizhi's horse was not slow, his physical strength was still consumed quickly, and he was left behind little by little.
