The sun is rising, and the bright sunlight shines on the neatly arranged yellow glazed tiles on the top of the Dayu Palace, reflecting a dazzling golden ray.

The north wind, which had been raging all night, finally stopped, and in the cold air, there was a faint fragrance that seemed to be absent.

Han Bing, who was originally sitting cross-legged, suddenly stood up very neatly, crossed his hands on his hips, and stood on the top of the Funing Palace.

His gaze swept through the surrounding temples, and soon he saw a small garden nearby, and the merlin in that garden seemed to have bloomed overnight.

This year's winter came a little earlier, and even the plum blossoms bloomed much earlier.

Thousands of blood-red plum blossoms like flames stand on the branches, blooming in the morning sun, and full of vitality in the warmth.

Seeing this scene, the cold starry eyes suddenly brightened even more, and a happy smile appeared on his lips.

With only one jump, he leaped to the top of another side hall, and then several more leaps one after another, and he had already come to the garden overflowing with the fragrance of plums.

I saw his graceful figure quickly shuttling through the plum forest, and soon broke off a few plum branches full of flowers.

After carefully examining the plum branches in his hand, and finally confirming that they should be the best blooming branches in this plum forest, Han Bing couldn't help but smile happily.

Before anyone found out about his stealing of flowers, he decided to leave the scene of the crime as soon as possible.

Out of the garden, he casually glanced back at the dark green plaque on the garden gate, and saw that the words "Dark Fragrance Garden" were written on it.

The sparse shadow is slanted, and the dark fragrance floats, which is indeed extremely suitable for the occasion.

But for some reason, this Dark Fragrance Garden actually made Han Bing seem to think of something.

It's a pity that the thought was fleeting, and in the end, he didn't get any useful information out of it.

Just as he was about to continue to work hard to remember, he suddenly heard a voice from not far away, and the palace people who should be in charge of taking care of the garden came.

He immediately put away his mind, spread his body, and fled in the direction of the palace gate.

After leaving the palace, Han Bing went directly back to Huafu.

As soon as Fang entered the mansion, he saw Xiao Anzi standing there waiting for him.

"Childe, last night Liao Jingdong sent someone to deliver a message that he had found the guy who spread rumors in the capital. That man's name was Wu Yuan, and he was currently living in the Guangfu Inn in the south of the city. ”

Wu Yuan, sure enough, it's this Zheng Yong's subordinate!

Han Bing nodded, and was about to rush to the Guangfu Inn, but suddenly remembered the few plum blossoms in his hand.

He first picked one branch from it and left it, and then handed the rest to Xiao Anzi, and advised: "Find a vase and put it in a conspicuous place in the hall." ”

Xiao Anzi couldn't help but grin and said, "If you let the master see it, you will know that Gongzi didn't stay in the mansion last night, it turned out that you went to the palace to steal flowers." Maybe there's another meal to serve!"

Han Bing immediately laughed and scolded, "Nonsense! Your son-in-law and I have worked hard to guard the palace all night, and these flowers are just picked by the way to honor my uncle and his old man." ”

Xiao Anzi's clever eyes stared at the remaining red and bright plum blossoms in Han Bing's hand, and asked knowingly: "I don't know which old man this branch in Gongzi's hand is to be honored?"

Han Bing patted his little head and laughed loudly: "What do you kid know!"

While laughing, his people had already gone out of the gate, flew on the flowing clouds, and rushed to the Guangfu Inn in the south of the city.

Outside the gate of the Guangfu Inn, as soon as Han Bing got off the horse, he saw a young man of medium stature and ordinary appearance walking briskly from the opposite street.

When the young man passed by Han Bing's side, he suddenly said quickly in a very low voice, "Han Bing Gongzi, can you take a step to speak?"

Then the young man continued to stride forward as if nothing had happened, and soon disappeared into the street corner ahead.

Han Bing immediately led Liuyun, followed closely behind, and also turned the street corner.

In this way, he followed the young man for a whole street, only to see him flash into a dark alley beside him.

Han Bing followed the dark alley without hesitation, and sure enough, he saw the young man standing there waiting for him.

Seeing Han Bing coming, the young man hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and saluted, saying, "Han Bing Gongzi, the master of Liao asked his subordinates to tell him that Wu Yuan had been assassinated in the Guangfu Inn last night, and the murderer had not yet been caught.

Hall Master Liao had already taken Wu Yuan's body to the helm. Before leaving, he instructed his subordinates to wait for Gongzi here, and must remind Gongzi that Wu Yuan's death was quite strange, and Gongzi had better find an opportunity to check his body in person. ”

Han Bing nodded solemnly and said, "Okay, please thank Hall Master Liao on my behalf!"

The young man said no more, saluted again, and then turned and disappeared into the depths of the alley.

Han Bing stood there and thought for a moment, then turned on his horse and went straight to the direction of the south city gate.

After leaving the city, he rode his horse for a while, and the rudder of the Loyal and Righteous League in front of him was already in sight.

But Han Bing did not directly enter the rudder of the Loyal Alliance, but dismounted and went up the back mountain from the side path.

He came to the place where Luo Er practiced swords, and sure enough, he saw that she was still wielding a pair of short swords, practicing the swordsmanship she had just learned.

Today, this little girl is wearing a goose-yellow dress, and the whole person is dancing in the fluttering, like a swaying twig in the spring breeze, soft and full of brilliant vitality.

Han Bing, this kid only saw that his heart was itchy and hard to scratch, and in a matter of ups and downs, he had already jumped in front of Luo'er.

He waved the plum branch in his hand lightly and directly attacked the flaw exposed in Luo'er's sword move.

Shui Lingluo saw Han Bing appear, and a flash of joy flashed on her pretty face.

But when she saw that this guy's attack was extremely tricky, and it happened to seal all her retreats, her expression immediately became serious again, and she began to concentrate on meeting the enemy with all her might.

In this way, with a plum branch in his hand, Han Bing accompanied Luo Er to completely practice the set of swordsmanship combining two swords.

Seeing that there was an extra layer of blush on Luo'er's fair and delicate face, Han Bing stopped his hand and stretched out his sleeve to gently wipe the fine sweat from her forehead for her.

At this moment, Shui Lingluo's eyes were completely attracted by the plum branch full of delicate flowers in his hand.

"The plum blossoms around here don't have such a strong color, where did you find it?"

Han Bing hurriedly handed the plum branch to Luo'er's hand as if offering a treasure, and said with a grin: "Dayu Palace." I'm afraid that in the entire Jingyang City, there is only one place where you can find such a special variety of plum blossoms. If you like it, I'll pick you more tomorrow. ”

Shui Lingluo put the plum branch on the tip of his nose, sniffed the faint fragrance of the flowers, and couldn't help but show a sweet smile on his face.

"Naturally, I like these red plums. But my favorite is autumn ginger. ”

"Luo'er—"

Hearing Luo'er mention the autumn ginger flowers she had given her, Han Bing's heart suddenly swelled with a sweet taste, and she couldn't help but ask gently, "Next autumn, let's go pick autumn ginger together, okay?"

Shui Lingluo looked at him with a smile and nodded slightly.

Seeing a few strands of hair falling from the cold sideburns, she naturally reached out to cut his messy hair, and at the same time asked with concern: "There was a strong wind last night, and it must be very cold." Didn't you just keep a watchful night outside that palace?"

Han Bing grinned and said, "The enemy is dark and I am clear, since the enemy hides in the dark and can't shrink, I have to swagger through the market in the light." The moment they get used to the fact that I've been in the open and finally show my head to take action, I'm waiting for them in the dark!"

Shui Lingluo couldn't help but sigh a little distressedly, took one of his hands, and said softly: "You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? I'm going to make some for you, I can't let you go hungry all day long to kill the enemy." ”

As soon as he heard that Luo'er was going to make breakfast for himself personally, Han Bing's heart immediately burst into flames, "After eating the food made by Luo'er, no matter how many enemies there are, they are not my opponents!"

Seeing that although he was exaggerating, his joy was already overflowing, Shui Lingluo felt both proud and satisfied, but he couldn't help but laugh and scold in his mouth: "Flim tongue!

Han Bing held her little hand, looked at her seriously, and said, "How can you not be sincere? Now Luo'er, you are also my dearest relatives, just like Master and Uncle." With you behind me, there are thousands of troops in front of me, and I have nothing to fear!"

Shui Lingluo also looked at him seriously and said, "But I don't want to always hide behind you, but I want to stand by your side." No matter how dangerous the situation is, I will face it with you!"

Han Bing excitedly took her into his arms, his starry eyes flashed with determination, and said, "Okay, I promise you Luo'er, no matter what, I will face it with you!"

"Then Wu Yuan's case, I will also investigate it with you, okay?" Shui Lingluo blinked his eyes and suddenly asked.

Han Bing couldn't help but be slightly stunned, "So you already know." ”

Shui Lingluo nodded proudly and said, "Liao Jingdong rushed over early in the morning, and I was having breakfast with my ancestor at the time, so I naturally heard some.

And I guessed that this matter is most likely related to you. Because that day in Yuanfang Pavilion, I heard Liao Jingdong say that this Wu Yuan should be Zheng Yong's subordinate. Now that he has been killed suddenly, there must be some conspiracy in this. ”

"Sure enough, she is worthy of being a wise and martial Luo woman!"

The icy starry eyes gleamed with appreciation, and he took the opportunity to steal a sip of incense on Luo'er's soft cheeks.

Before Luo'er could react, he immediately let go of her, as if nothing had happened, and got to the point again.

"To investigate Wu Yuan's case, I really need to use Luo'er's strength! At least in the matter of examining the body, you, the heroine of the Xiuyun Sword Sect, have to step forward and open up the joints for me. ”

Shui Ling Luo glared slightly at this pretending bad guy, but a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips, "Okay, that Wu Yuan's body should be parked in the torture hall of the Loyalty League." Since you don't want to alarm the people of the Loyalty, I'll find someone to take us in quietly and make sure that no one else will find out. ”

Han Bing nodded, and there was a thoughtful look in his starry eyes, "Since Liao Jingdong asked me to take a look at that corpse in person, I think there must be a reason for him." Maybe you can guess what conspiracy Zheng Yong is playing from this!"
