That's it, the most interesting thing to ponder is the reaction of the saint.

He put Liu Ceye in charge of investigating these two things, and restricted him to return to his life after the next court meeting, that is, the royal ancestor worship.

Not only that, but those people also impeached Xue Mian, the governor of Liangzhou, the envoy of Shannan Province, saying that after he came to Chang'an, he pretended to be ill and delayed leaving, so he must have other plans. The emperor's handling at that time was also extremely surprising, and he sent someone to Xue's house with the imperial doctor on the spot to diagnose the disease. When the imperial doctor arrived, Xue Mian was drunk all night because of the banquet last night, and his family couldn't wake up no matter how he called him, so he was carried to the palace and poured cold water on his head, so he woke up. Although he tried his best to justify himself, saying that he had qi paralysis, when he was sick, he was unable to walk due to severe pain in his waist and feet, because the climate of Chang'an was suitable for him to recuperate, so he was reluctant to leave. But how could the saint believe him in his confession, he was still furious, and if it were not for the merits of his ancestors, and the others who pleaded for him, he would have been taken from his post and thrown into prison on the spot. Later, although his anger calmed down a little and he was left in the position of knight, he still received 30 strokes of the court staff, and he was beaten in public until his skin and flesh were broken, which was unbearable to see, and he was limited to leave Beijing within three days. Today, others are naturally on the road.

From the assassination of the horse that everyone was suspicious of before, to the Liu family, the Wei family, and the Xue family, the three families were attacked on the same day.

Half of the sentence does not point to the prince, however, everything is clearly aimed at the prince.

After that day, these days, the hundred officials of the Southern Ya looked the same as usual on the surface, however, everyone had a feeling that maybe something big was coming.

"The saint has really made up his mind, he is going to abolish the prince, isn't he?"

After Cheng Ping asked, he stared at Pei Xiaoyuan tightly.

"I really don't have anything to say about it." Pei Xiaoyuan replied to him.

"How could the saint tell me what he thinks? And, whether he's thinking about it or not, it's not something you should be asking about. From beginning to end, it has nothing to do with you! ”

The corners of Chengping's lips are slightly pursed.

Perhaps it was Cheng Ping's reaction that made him realize that his tone was too serious, and Pei Xiaoyuan eased up.

"Ahmao!"

He spoke again, and the voice of Cheng Ping became softer than the gaze that fell on Cheng Ping at the moment.

"Listen to my good advice, don't care about these court affairs, let alone meddle. Don't you often say that you should be happy in time? There are so many places to go in Chang'an, isn't it enough for you to have fun? Which beauty do you like, even if you look for her to be good. It's okay to gamble for money. If you don't pay if you lose, it will be in my name. In short, whatever you do, you can do it, as long as you don't care about these things that have nothing to do with you! ”

Chengping raised an eyebrow.

"Usually you told me to be a serious person and not to go to those places to fool around. Why did I only ask you this sentence at this moment, and you changed your words and urged me to do all those nonsense things again? ”

"Those bastards are demoralizing at best. This kind of thing will take people's lives. ”

Chengping was silent for a moment, and suddenly laughed.

"Well, how could I not know what you are saying? It's just that the people of the Manchu Dynasty have been guessing in private recently, and I'm looking for you to ask out of curiosity, that's all. Don't worry, I'm an outsider, and it's insignificant, what can I do? ”

He changed back to the grinning look he had at the beginning, and urged repeatedly: "I'm fine, I shouldn't have come today." Go back, it's not good to tell the princess to wait for you too long. ”

Pei Xiaoyuan thought that King Kang should have almost finished speaking at this moment. And Lu Wenjun is nearby, in case she bumps into Chengping and causes sadness, the princess's original intention of inviting her to come here to relax will be frustrated, so she also nodded: "Then I won't send it, you go out as soon as possible." If you are bumped into, say that I invited you. ”

Cheng Ping smiled and watched Pei Xiaoyuan leave, and when his figure disappeared from sight, Fang turned around. At this time, the smile on his face also disappeared. While playing with a bone whistle hanging on his waist with his fingers, he walked slowly forward on the overgrown forest road under his feet, absent-mindedly, obviously thinking about his thoughts.

Suddenly, behind him, with the sound of stamping on the grass, someone also walked towards the woods.

Cheng Ping immediately stopped, turned his head and quickly glanced behind him, he saw King Kang and an entourage walking in this direction, frowned, and immediately disappeared behind a cluster of dense branches nearby.

King Kang walked to a secluded place in the forest, stopped, stood still, and looked as if he was waiting for someone. His face was gloomy and his brow furrowed. His henchmen looked at him and whispered to him: "The king is angry. Feng Xiang's words, the king must listen. Now is the most critical moment, and there must be no negligence. For the future of the king, bear with her, call her a few sisters, and say a few more good words, what's the matter? In the future, the whole world will belong to the king, and she will not have a saint to rely on, so she will not let the king handle it? Compared with the humiliation of Han Xin's crotch back then, what is the king's thing today? ”

King Kang's brows furrowed even tighter.

"Do you still need to say that? I just feel aggrieved! She pressed on my head, and that's it, the person surnamed Pei relied on my sister to coax her to her heart, and now she has climbed on my head! I'm going to get rid of this person in the future! And that Hu'er, who is like a mess with him, there must be an ulterior conspiracy in secret, and he must not stay! ”

mentioned Chengping, or because Lu Wenjun was mixed in the middle, King Kang's tone unconsciously revealed a bit of jealousy.

"The king can rest assured, Feng Xiang has his own considerations for the future. The most important thing now is the position of the crown prince. Soon! The king waited and watched. ”

King Kang thought of what happened in the last court meeting, and his mood finally relaxed a little, and then he turned his face and looked in the direction he had just come, with a slightly impatient look on his face. His henchman knew his intentions and hurriedly said, "The king is here for a while, I'll go and see." ”

In the dark, Cheng Ping watched King Kang's henchmen leave in a hurry, stared at King Kang, was distracted for a moment, his eyelids suddenly jumped slightly, and a strange fierce color flashed under his eyes.

The next moment, he had come out of his hiding place. The sound of his steps on the grass with his autumn branches and boots alarmed King Kang. He turned his head sharply and saw the person who had come, at first surprised, and suddenly thought of the few cruel words he had just made. If he listened to it and turned it in front of the princess and Pei Xiaoyuan, it would be very bad.

His heart couldn't help but chuckle, and he tried his best to calm his mind, and said coldly, "Why are you here? What is the crime of trespassing into the Royal Forbidden Garden? ”

Cheng Ping smiled all over his face, walked up to him, bowed and saluted, and confessed again and again: "It's my sin!" Don't blame the king! Please rest assured, what the king said, I have never heard a word-"

At first glance, this may sound like nothing wrong, but when you think about it, it is clear that it means something else.

King Kang reacted, and his face couldn't help but become extremely ugly: "Ashina, what do you mean by this?" Do you want to take the opportunity to threaten me? ”

Cheng Ping followed the salute and bent down, his body bent like a bow, and his hand almost touched the top of his boot.

He smiled and said, "The king has misunderstood. How dare I do that? After speaking, he raised his face, sighed again, pointed behind King Kang and said, "Look, there is someone behind you." ”

King Kang subconsciously turned his head in response, and actually saw a tall figure flash out of a tree shadow behind him.

It was Ashina's clansman, named Shi Du, known for his bravery, and now he was serving as a deputy leader in the forbidden army.

King Kang was taken aback again, and before he could react, he felt a chill in his chest, and then, a sharp pain like a broken feeling came from his heart.

He turned his head sharply and saw that Ashina had straightened up. He had a dagger in his hand. And the blade of the dagger was deeply inserted into his heart.

His eyes widened in disbelief, staring at Ashina's face. His face was still smiling, and without blinking his eyes, he leaned forward and said softly, "Sooner or later, people are going to die." Since I met him today, I will give the king a ride early. ”

The red blood slowly spilled out from the hole in King Kang's chest, staining the surrounding silver coat red. He endured the sharp pain of his heart, barely supported his body that was about to fall, and opened his mouth to call for help. However, Chengping would not give him a chance, flipped his other hand, and quickly covered his mouth, and at the same time, the hand holding the dagger turned.

King Kang immediately fell to the ground, struggled for a while, and died of exhaustion.

Cheng Ping squatted down, stretched out his fingers to probe King Kang's nose to test his breath, and made sure that he was dead, then pulled out the dagger, stood up, lifted the sole of his boot, and wiped the blood stains on it back and forth.

At this time, King Kang's henchman, who had not gone far, had turned back, and when he saw this scene, he was shocked by the two cold glances cast by Shang Chengping, and turned his head to run away, but he was caught up by Shi Du and killed them cleanly.

Ashina inserted the dagger that wiped away the blood stains back into his boots, glanced at the two corpses on the ground, frowned, and said in a low voice: "Find a place in the depths of the forest and bury it first." ”

Shi Xuan should have summoned two other subordinates who were still hiding nearby, and several people dragged the corpse to a more remote place, found a shallow ditch, pushed the corpse down, and was about to bury the soil, Cheng Ping walked up, stretched out his hand, ripped off a jade pendant from King Kang's waist, looked around, and threw it in a nearby bush.

Soon, the ditch was filled in, and it was covered with some dead branches and weeds, and it seemed to be completely integrated with the surroundings, without any flaws.

Cheng Ping summoned Shi Xuan and two other subordinates, whispered a few words, and ordered them to disperse out of the forbidden garden, and he was about to leave, when suddenly, there was a sound like a dead branch breaking nearby.

The voice was subtle, but it still reached his ears. He stopped and glanced at Shi Dushi. Shi Xuan understood, bowed, and quietly walked in the direction of Fang Cai's abnormal movement. Soon, behind an old ginkgo tree nearby, I heard his voice: "Young master! It's her! ”

Cheng Ping rushed to the back of the tree, and when he saw that the person who came was Lu Wenjun, he couldn't help but change his face slightly.

Lu Wenjun's face was pale, so white that there was no trace of blood, and he had already fallen to the ground, trembling. When he saw Cheng Ping appear, his eyes were full of horror, as if he wanted to call for help from him, but the next moment, his throat was choked by something, and he couldn't make a sound.

Shi Du had ordered two of his men to go to the vicinity to check the situation again to see if anyone else was approaching, and then he turned to Chengping.

"She must be killed!"

He said to Cheng Ping in the clan language, and after speaking, without waiting for Cheng Ping to answer, he had already started and grabbed Lu Wenjun's throat with five fingers.

Under the five fingers of this ruthless wolf court, the girl is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. The only thing she could do was keep her eyes open, kick her legs desperately, and shake her head vigorously. Under the struggle, her sideburns were half scattered, the jade hairpin fell sideways, and an embroidered shoe on her foot also flew out.

But all in vain. Soon, the girl's delicate face turned red. The suffocating pain caused her to wander her gaze, and her hands and feet slowly stopped moving.

"Let her go!"

Suddenly, Cheng Ping, who had been watching quietly from the sidelines, spoke in the clan language and said a word.

Shi Xuan was stunned, his hand strength was only slightly loosened, and he refused to withdraw.

"Young master! Can't put it! Don't forget, the one you killed just now was the son of the Emperor of the Holy Dynasty! If anyone finds out, we're all done! He replied in the same language, and then his hand continued to exert force.

Chengping closed his eyes, opened his eyes again, and saw that the girl on the ground who had to breathe back fell into pain again. The gorgeous skirt she was wearing had been lifted to her knees, and if a thin neck as white and immaculate as jade was about to break, she had completely stopped struggling, only tilted her head weakly, her beautiful eyes looked at him emptyly, and a tear ran down her cheeks and slowly flowed into her hairline.

Cheng Ping squeezed his palm and ordered again: "Let her go!" ”

"Young master—" Shi Du still refused.

He took a few steps up and kicked away the stubborn Shi Du.

Shi Xuan was kicked out by him, sat up, saw him looking, and said coldly in the clan language: "She handed it over to me, I have my own way not to ask her to speak." It is not advisable to stay here for long, and you will disperse at once! ”

After he finished speaking, he leaned over and picked up the embroidered shoes and the jade hairpin in front of his feet, picked up the girl on the ground, and quickly walked into the depths of the dense forest, and the figure disappeared.

Chapter 112

The shadow of the sun is getting longer, and the wind is slowly blowing the row of curtains that are knotted on the side of the forest, and it is more and more silent in all directions.

Yang Zaien glanced at the sun that began to set westward, summoned a eunuch standing nearby, and ordered to pass the word, telling all the people who were still resting to prepare for the return journey, at this time, seeing Li Wanwan and Li Zhi Guo Guoer hurriedly walking towards this side, he went up, smiled and saluted, and was about to remind him to prepare to leave, but Li Wanwan asked him if he had seen Lu Wenjun.

The two county lords have a good relationship, and they like to get tired of being together for everything. After coming out of the princess in the afternoon, the two also rested in the same tent, and Yang Jae-en always thought that the two of them were together, and hurriedly asked what was going on. However, Li Wanwan didn't seem to want to mention it in detail, only saying that Lu Wenjun had been out for a while and hadn't come back, so she called Li Xu, and the two sisters and brothers looked for her together, but they didn't see her.

When Yang Zaien heard this, his heart jumped, and he hurriedly called someone in person, and took him to look around the camp, but Lu Wenjun was still missing.

Although the forbidden garden is closed on all sides, entering and exiting the scriptures, except for the daily people around the palace pavilions and stables and beast workshops, in the northwest direction, the continuous woodland and wild fields used as hunting grounds, that is, the surroundings of the place where they are at the moment, are all inaccessible and infested with insects and beasts.

And listening to Li Wanwan's words, when Lu Wenjun went out, he didn't seem to bring anyone, in case there was any accident......

Yang Jae-en hurriedly ran towards the purple tent.

Pei Xiaoyuan and Su Yu had already gotten up, and the two were getting dressed in the tent.

The tent is light and thin, and it is daytime, and people are outside, how dare Pei Xiaoyuan do anything wrong, after coming back from Chengping, he only took a nap with her and kept warm for a while. At this moment, after tidying up his appearance, thinking of the strong wind in the field in the evening, he was afraid that she would be cold while riding a horse, so he put a thick brocade cloak around her, and tied a tie, and was about to go out of the tent to call people, his eyes fell on her beautiful face, and he couldn't move away for a while, and his finger was along her neck, gently caressing her earlobe, and then leaned down on her, and whispered in his ear: "My injury is almost healed......" Then, he didn't know what to say again, Su Yu didn't want him, but he pressed his face on his chest, and laughed sullenly.

Not only that, Pei Xiao Yuanjue also raised her arms and hugged her waist, and her heart was even more fluttering, she couldn't wait to return to the Immortal Durian Palace immediately, and then send the county lord and others away overnight.

He tried his best to suppress the infinite love for her that was churning in his chest at the moment, and quietly hugged her for a moment.

There was a chaotic sound of boot steps outside the tent, he raised his palm, gently held her chin, kissed a little star mark on her forehead, and coaxed: "Okay, when I go back, I will ask you to hug it again." Let's go out first, we should be waiting outside......"

Su Yu sneered: "Who wants to hug you!" ”

She pushed him away.

Pei Xiaoyuan smiled, grabbed the hand she was withdrawing again, shook it, and then completely let her go, and turned around himself, just about to go out, at this time, Yang Zaien's voice had been heard outside the tent, and the county lord of Danyang was gone.

The smile on Su Yu's lips suddenly froze, and he glanced at Pei Xiaoyuan, hurriedly walked out of the curtain, and saw that Li Wanwan was also there, looking panicked.

Facing her, Li Wanwan didn't dare to hide it anymore, and hurriedly told her all the stories.

In the afternoon, after she and Lu Wenjun came out of the rain, they rested in the same vein. While laughing, Lu Wenjun's brother Lu Wenzhong came to look for her, and she went out. The brother and sister didn't know what to say outside, after a while, Lu Wenjun came back, with a sullen face, Li Wanwan asked her something, at first she didn't say, she couldn't stand Li Wanwan's repeated questioning, Lu Wenjun told her that King Kang actually found Lu Wenzhong, saying that he spent a lot of money to get an amethyst necklace from Hu Shang's hand, Chang'an is the only one, and even there is no jewelry of the same color in the palace treasury. He asked Lu Wenzhong to transfer the necklace to Lu Wenjun, saying that he had something else to say to her, and begged her to meet her in the forest. Before Qujiangchi's accident, Lu Wenzhong often played with King Kang on weekdays, and the relationship was very good, King Kang opened his mouth like this, and the other party's identity was the prince, and Lu Wenzhong didn't dare to disobey, so he really took the necklace to find his sister to talk about things, but he annoyed Lu Wenjun on the spot, scolded his brother, and asked him to return the things. Lu Wenzhong went with a sad face, and Lu Wenjun came back by himself.

"It's all my fault, she made a few jokes at the time, and she took it to heart, and I lay down, and she was still tossing and turning next to me. Her temper has always been like this, the anger comes and goes quickly, I didn't care, I was a little tired, I fell asleep, and when I woke up, I realized that she had already gone out, and I was not allowed to follow those people outside, and I left alone. At first, I thought she was nearby, and I was afraid of disturbing my aunt, so I asked my brother to look for her by herself, but I didn't find anyone, so I looked for Yang Neishi, but I didn't see her......"

"Could the county lord be with Lu Shizi?" Yang Jae-eun interjected.

At this time, Lu Wenzhong rode a horse and followed by several guards, and was swaying from the field opposite the woods.

Pei Xiaoyuan galloped up and asked a few words, Lu Wenzhong got off the horse, followed Pei Xiaoyuan to Su Yu, and said that he didn't see Ah Mei.

“…… At that time, I was scolded by her, so I had to leave, and I met the king's people halfway, and returned the things, and I was afraid that I would be seen by her when I came back, and I wanted to scold them, so I wanted to hide first, so I went to shoot again. ”

"Sister, she's alone, where did she go?"

Lu Wenjun is the eldest princess's heart, and it is precisely because of the infinite favor of the eldest princess that he has developed such a brutal temperament. Thinking that something might happen to Ah Mei, Lu Wenzhong was so frightened that his whole face turned white.

Suyu looked around.

Dusk is approaching, although the sun has not yet set, but it has lost the heat of the day, and the cold is getting heavier, and as far as the eye can see, there are endless plains in front of you, and continuous trees in the back.
