Chapter 173: Falling Lake
Hua Zhao remembered that Wei Xueying said that she wanted to come to see the lake, and now that she is here, she naturally has to kindly help Wei Xueying "explain".
At that time, the situation was urgent, and Hua Zhao couldn't care too much, but now when he walked to this lake, he felt that Wan Qi Changning really deserved to be the master of scheming in Dongyang Kingdom, he was really ruthless to himself, he calculated with his heart, and even cut himself.
First he slashed himself, and then he jumped into the fishy pool, and that courage alone was too much for the others.
"Well, I only heard from my aunt that there are a lot of fish in this pond, but I haven't heard of the fish being fished away, and now it sounds like a pity......
Wei Xueying shook her head contrivedly, but she glanced at Luo Huaiqing on the side.
Luo Huaiqing was staring at a piece of grass at the moment and didn't know what she was thinking, and Wei Xueying's heart moved.
"County Lord, what do you see in here?"
Wei Xueying suddenly exclaimed, causing Hua Zhao to look towards the bottom of the pool.
"Huh? What could be in there? โ
Hua Zhao was a little puzzled, the fish in this pond were all clean, how could there be something that had not been found out at that time?
"I see something under this pool, and it's shining silver, could it be a knife or something?"
Wei Xueying's serious nonsense, the hand hidden in the wide sleeve was tightly clenched, and even a thin layer of fine sweat appeared on her forehead.
Lin Yao felt that Wei Xueying was not quite right, but she didn't find anything wrong, so she had to resist the urge to remind Hua Zhao to be careful and stared at Wei Xueying tightly.
"Knives? How can there be a knife under this pool? Are you wrong? โ
Hua Zhao listened to Wei Xueying's words, and sighed in his heart.
She remembered that at that time, Wan Qi Changning used a dagger to cut his wrist, but when he was scooped up, the knife was gone, could it be that he fell into this pool?
"Xue Ying can't be mistaken, you don't believe it, take a closer look."
Wei Xueying swore that she swore that when she said this, she deliberately glanced at Luo Huaiqing, and found that he had no intention of turning around, so she continued to deceive.
"Xue Ying has been at the border for many years, and the most she comes into contact with every day is these knives and swords, so naturally she will not be mistaken, only swords will shine this luster in the sun."
Hua Zhao didn't believe it, but listening to Wei Xueying's words, he had already said this, so he had to get closer to see it.
Wan Qi Changning's things, Wan Qi Cheng'an, they must have seen them, what if they make a fuss about that knife?
Wei Xueying watched Hua Zhao squatting by the lake and looking in, the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened, and now the obstacle was only Lin Yao.
"Miss Lin, my jade pendant is missing, please turn back and help me find it."
In Wei Xueying's eyes, Lin Yao is just an ordinary maid, as the granddaughter of Wei Shilang and the sister of Concubine Wei, her orders Lin Yao naturally dare not disobey, but Lin Yao's next sentence made Wei Xueying angry half to death.
"Why should I look for something that the girl lost herself? If the girl really thinks that the jade pendant is important, she can go back and find it herself. โ
Hua Zhao is Lin Yao's savior, except for Hua Zhao, she doesn't listen to anyone's orders, and she dares to disobey even the emperor's will, how can Wei Xueying be worthy of instructing her?
"I'm Miss, you're a subordinate, if I let you go, you can go, and I'll give you a reward when you get it back."
Wei Xueying thought that it was because she didn't promise anything to Lin Yao, and Lin Miao refused to run in vain, so she rejected herself.
"I still say the same thing, if you think the jade pendant is important, then go find it yourself, I am a good person, but I only listen to the orders of the county lord, if you want me to find it, then let the county lord of my family order me to find it."
Lin Yao was unmoved, let alone a silver reward, she couldn't count how many treasures in the world she had seen since she was a child, just a little silver, and she was also worthy of working hard for irrelevant people?
"If Miss Wei is in a hurry to find her jade pendant, then you can go, I still need Lin Yao's service here, and she can't leave."
Hua Zhao is not a fool, there are only two reasons why Wei Xueying doesn't do it to herself, one is Luo Huaiqing, and the other is Lin Yao, Luo Huaiqing doesn't know what she is watching now, and there is only one Lin Yao who can keep guarding herself, she is naturally not stupid enough to break Lin Yao.
"Since the county lord said so, then I'm not in a hurry, this jade pendant is not a precious object after all, it's just that someone picked it up."
Wei Xueying saw that Hua Zhao refused to let Lin Yao leave, so she gritted her teeth and gave up the jade pendant.
That jade pendant was given by the emperor himself, naturally it was not an ordinary product, and when she thought that the jade pendant might be gone, Wei Xueying still felt a pain in her flesh.
"Hmm."
Hua Zhao is now more sure that Wei Xueying is wrong, Wei Xueying was still talking about how important the jade pendant is, as soon as she said that she asked her to find her by herself, she immediately changed her mind and said that it didn't matter if she lost it, who would believe that she didn't have a ghost like this?
"Lin Yao, come and help me see, where is there something here?"
Hua Zhao stared at the bottom of the water for a long time, his eyes were sour, but he didn't even see the shadow of a knife.
"Yes."
Lin Yao walked over, but there was still some distance between her standing position and Hua Zhao, and she could clearly see Wei Xueying's movements.
"County Lord, I saw it, isn't it right there?"
Wei Xueying suddenly had an idea, and once again made sure that Luo Huaiqing was not looking this way, so she took a step closer to Hua Zhao's side.
She bent down, pretended to be unsteady on her feet, and crashed straight forward.
"Oops!"
Hua Zhao was hit by her and lost her center of gravity all of a sudden, plus Wei Xueying still fell on top of her, so she threw herself directly into the water.
"County Lord!"
Lin Yao's eyes were quick, he grabbed Hua Zhao's hand that was grabbing indiscriminately in the air, and took Hua Zhao's hand and fell towards him hard.
Wei Xueying didn't expect Lin Zhao's movements to be so fast, she panicked all of a sudden, she stretched out her hand and wanted to grab Hua Zhao and drag Hua Zhao down, but she was lonely, and she fell directly into the lake.
"Poofโ"
Hua Zhao was pulled by Lin Yao and fell to the ground, while Wei Xueying fell into the lake that still smelled because no one helped her.
"Help!"
Wei Xueying is also a landlubber, she doesn't know anything about water, and now she is fluttering in the lake and shouting for help.
Hearing the movement here, Luo Huaiqing hurriedly got up and walked over, and was relieved to see Hua Zhao fall to the ground, and the person in the water was Wei Xueying.
"Are you alright, County Lord?"
Lin Yao originally wanted to pull Hua Zhao to fall on him, but because of Wei Xueying's interference, Hua Zhao fell heavily to the ground and fell into the mud.
