In the Qiu Mansion, Qiu Ruoruo was entertaining a distinguished guest. Although I was curious that I had just met it in the morning, why did I come to visit Qiufu in the afternoon.

Nuo Min tasted the tea, looking satisfied. "Tea ceremony, these elegant things, if you are really the people of Dachu, understand the essence."

Qiu Ruoruo also put down the teacup, she didn't think how good the tea in Qiufu was, just a compliment from Nuo Min. "If the county lord is willing, he can come to my house to drink tea every day, if he is honored."

In the flower hall, Ye Qinghuan sat next to Qiu Ruoruo, opposite Meng Si and Dolan. Dolando glanced at Ye Qinghuan a few times, after all, such a handsome person is not common in the vast prairie. And Meng Si's gaze fell on Qiu Ruoruo, which had a sense of death.

"Why don't you see Yu Zhi?" Nomin asked.

Qiu Ruoruo said suspiciously: "The county lord is here for Yu Zhi?" ”

"During the negotiation, that Xiang Jinghao was aggressive, thanks to Yu Zhi's maneuvering, which allowed the negotiation to be promoted. Hearing what Yu Zhi said, he seems to have a lot of good ideas, so I came here to ask for advice this time. Nomin said with great humility. She knew her purpose for coming to Da Chu.

"However, now Yu Zhi is not in Qiu Mansion."

Nuo Min looked at Qiu Ruoruo and asked, "Oh? ”

Qiu Ruoruo also secretly hated in her heart, and in a blink of an eye, she slipped out for Yu Zhi again. "He went out, and I don't know where he went."

Nomin was skeptical, but he thought that the other party had no reason to lie to him.

"In that case, I'll visit him again when he returns." Nomin said. Nuo Min was also simply, and when he saw that Yu Zhi was not there, he didn't bother much, and went back with someone.

Qiu Ruoruo and Ye Qinghuan were both angry and "say goodbye".

"Next time I'll lock him up with a chain to see if he can slip out." Qiu Ruoruo said viciously.

Ye Qinghuan nodded, he felt that this matter was also very reasonable.

As soon as Nomin's front foot came out, there was another pass from the guard at the door. Xiao Jinghong, the son of King Zhao, came to visit.

Qiu Ruoruo took the name card in her hand, thinking that Xiao Jinghong's etiquette was thoughtful, which made people seem to be unable to refuse. But, what is Xiao Jinghong doing in Qiufu? In Qiu Ruoruo's impression, Xiao Jinghong has never been to Qiu Mansion.

When a guest visited, Qiu Ruoruo naturally wanted to get up to greet him.

"If you are sister, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"His Royal Highness the Prince was assassinated, and he should have been raised in the palace. If you should visit. ”

After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, they heard Xiao Jinghong say, "Why don't you see Yu Zhi?"

Qiu Ruoruo wondered why she came to find Yu Zhi.

"Yu Zhi is not in the house." Qiu Ruoruo replied.

Xiao Jinghong's expression became serious, and he lowered his voice and said, "He may be in danger."

Qiu Ruoruo and Ye Qinghuan's expressions suddenly became serious. Yu Zhi had many secrets that even the two of them didn't know, and they thought that Yu Zhi deliberately didn't tell them. But the danger does exist around Yu Zhi.

"Does His Royal Highness know anything?" Qiu Ruoruo asked.

Xiao Jinghong's face was embarrassed, and he looked like he couldn't say it, and then he said: "If you are sister, there are some things that are inconvenient for my brother to say, but I must remind Yu Zhi - pay attention to safety."

If you know, there are many things in Kyoto that you can't say clearly. "Thank you for telling your Royal Highness."

Xiao Jinghong didn't sit long, and left after saying all this. Until he left, Xiao Jinghong's words were vague, and there was a sense of indescribability.

"Something is wrong." Ye Qinghuan waited until Xiao Jinghong walked out of the flower hall before speaking.

Qiu Ruoruo had already begun to think about the purpose of Xiao Jinghong's arrival. Hearing Ye Qinghuan's voice, she and Ye Qinghuan had the same idea.

"Xiao Jinghong and Brother Xiaoyu have no friendship. Even if Brother Xiaoyu is in danger, why did he come to Qiu Mansion to inform him? And listening to his words, it seems that the person who started it is still a person he can't afford to offend. When did the scene of everyone in Kyoto changing? ”

"Maybe it's a bluff. I can't think of anyone who has a deep hatred with Yu Zhi and targets Yu Zhi. Ye Qinghuan said.

"Anyway, let's find Brother Little Fish first."

……

In the carriage of Zhao Wangfu, Xiao Jinghong sat inside, and Meng Duanzhang drove and slowly marched on Suzaku Avenue. Xiao Jinghong can't lie in it leisurely like he usually does, thinking about how to spend the wind and snow.

"Am I going to be a thief like this?"

There was no one around. The voice in the carriage was only Meng Duanzhang, who was driving.

Meng Duanzhang did not answer Xiao Jinghong's question, but said, "The prince really wants to assassinate Yu Zhi?"

"Uh-huh. The prince of Chu said that he killed Yu Zhi and voted for his name. Although he knew that Xiang Jinghao made his own opinion, the third prince really regarded this prince with a different surname as his own brother. Naturally, my brother is not as powerful as that powerful son. Xiao Jinghong said sarcastically.

The four words of high power are not Xiang Jinghao, but the king who is side by side. The power of the king of Chu is unmatched in the Great Chu court, and even the prime minister of the dynasty is weaker.

Xiang Jinghao can be said to be a son and a father. Compared with Xiao Jinghong, a clear-eyed person chooses to attach to the more powerful Xiang Jinghao without even thinking about it.

"The prince thinks the third prince will be able to sit on the throne in the future?" Meng Duanzhang asked again.

"For now, the third prince is stronger than the crown prince who hides in the palace all day. In a situation like mine, my father doesn't fight or grab, he just likes to stay in that high pavilion and paint, and I should do something to prevent my pulse from falling. Xiao Jinghong sighed as he spoke.

"Oh, no. You old fox, why did I ask you a question that you asked me? Xiao Jinghong scolded with a smile.

Meng Duanzhang also smiled. He kind of likes this life.

"The prince went to Qiufu to report the news like this, and the other party wanted to let people kill Yu Zhi again. This contradictory act is clearly not to let Yu Zhi die like this. I can't guess what Shiko is thinking? Just for this unwarranted vote, killing Yu Zhi has stood on the opposite side of the Qiu family since then, which is not a wise choice. ”

Xiao Jinghong didn't understand this truth. The reason why he informed Qiu Ruoruo was that he didn't want to kill Yu Zhi. But looking at Xiang Jinghao's appearance, Xiao Jinghong felt that he should do something to show his attitude.

"What's more...... The competition between the three princes and the crown prince has not officially begun, so why should the prince rush to place a bet? Meng Duanzhang is not in the court, but he seems to have the world in his heart.

"Sir, what do you mean?" Xiao Jinghong asked.

Meng Duanzhang just said: "The crown prince is the crown prince set up by His Majesty. The prince once told me that His Majesty wanted to marry the prince, and the woman was the young lady of the Li Xiang family. How much does the prince think it's true or false? ”

"There are many basic rumors in the palace. But there should be seven points of truth in this matter. The royal wedding is extremely solemn, and if this is a rumor, it will damage His Majesty's face. ”

"Since it's basically true. With the help of Li Xiang, what can the three princes do even if they have the king of Chu to rely on? Meng Duanzhang said with a smile.

Xiao Jinghong understood, and after Meng Xuanzhang's explanation, his mind drifted to the girls in Yihong Mansion again. "Sir, if you don't go back tonight, go to Yihong Mansion."

But what Xiao Jinghong didn't expect was that Yu Zhi had more enemies than he thought, and when Xiao Jinghong was thinking about who to send to assassinate Yu Zhi, Yu Zhi was experiencing a hunt with his life hanging by a thread.

In the mountains outside Kyoto, Yu Zhi ran for a long time, and there were his footprints in the deserted places. Probably still able to distinguish the direction, Yu Zhi ran in the opposite direction of Li Wantong's bamboo forest. The three masters and servants in the bamboo house will never be the opponent of this armor-piercing six-rank archer, and they must not be able to affect Li Wantong.

Yu Zhi thought so in his heart, and then continued to drill deeper into the mountain forest. He had an arrow stuck in his right shoulder, the arrow was exposed to the air, and bright red blood continued to flow out of the arrow, dripping to the ground, leaving a trail of blood.

This is the most taboo thing to escape.

The traces left by the prey will be discovered by the hunter, and such a distinct smell of blood is the best guide.

At this moment, Yu Zhi has no chance to stop and clean up himself, as long as he keeps escaping, there will always be a chance of life. If you stop, you'll be targeted as if you had just done just now.

Instigate!

The arrows flew towards Yu Zhi again, and he dodged with a fish leap, but he didn't know that behind the dense bushes was a small stream in the mountains.

With a thud, the icy river water stimulated Yu Zhi's nerves and made his mind clearer. After two flutters, Yu Zhi swam towards the current regardless of the current, and there was more pale red in the river.

The water rushed downstream with Yu Zhi's body, and three black-clothed figures appeared behind the grass, each holding a pitch-black longbow in their hands. Such a longbow made of black ironwood can only be seen in the Great Chu army, and it is the preparation of the archers in the army.

"Chase. To live to see people, to die to see corpses. One of them said. This is the archer who pierces the sixth grade, and the other two are only the fourth grade of armor piercing.

"Stop chasing. Just stay here. ”

Voices came from behind them, and a man in white appeared behind them. The man in white was carrying an extremely ordinary sword, without a scabbard, with many notches in the blade, and it was not sharp, so I don't know where it was picked up. Although the costume was not on the ground, it was enough to be able to appear behind them silently.

The archer at the head was surprised in his heart, he couldn't lock the other party's aura with his cultivation of the armor-piercing six grades.

"Your Excellency, who is it? Yan Yunqi errands, please get out of the way. ”

The man in white was Li Haomiao, he had been following behind the three archers, not showing a little breath, and he did not interfere with their pursuit of Yu Zhi, even the arrow that caused Yu Zhi to be hit hard, Li Haomiao did not stop it.

"Yan Yun rides?" Li Haomiao sneered, "You really lift yourself up." ”

"Who is Your Excellency?" The other party asked again.

"You don't have the right to know my name."

As he spoke, several sword lights flashed. Li Haomiao looked at the three people who fell in front of him as if he hadn't moved.

"I told your boss to let him settle down. Alas, do not listen to good people. ”

Li Haomiao looked at Yu Zhi, who was rushing downstream of the stream, and saw that he was still fluttering in the water. Immediately, Li Haomiao's figure disappeared into the jungle. He believed that Yu Zhi would soon be able to discover the situation behind him.
