The two cousins and cousins are usually very good, and they should say that they are only a few months older than Meng Yu. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's just that Ying Shaoyan was detained in Xiyuzhou and couldn't leave, and Meng Yu often went out to investigate the case for several months and didn't come back, so the two spent very little time together.

I haven't seen Meng Yu for a long time, and Ying Shaoyan is very surprised. Meng Yu was very unhappy, so he asked, "Why did my cousin take Xiaoxue out?"

Ying Shaoyan thought that Meng Yu was angry that Meng Xue was in danger, and hurriedly said: "I didn't follow her closely and almost let her have an accident." ”

Meng Yu accentuated: "That's not what I'm talking about. I mean, why do you two go out together?"

Ying Shaoyan understood a little, and he still said, "It's my aunt who asked me to take Xiaoxue to repay my vows." ”

Meng Yu was even more angry: "Don't you know how to refuse? You understand everything and are still with her all day, it's irresponsible at all." ”

Ying Shaoyan blushed: "I'm sorry, I was wrong." It's just that I can't refuse anything she says. ”

Meng Yu was about to jump up: "One day she said she liked you, and you didn't refuse, did you?"

Ying Shaoyan took half a step back, speechless for a while, and said, "I'll try not to do this next time." ”

He lowered his head and said slowly: "Xiaoxue only spends in the garden every day, and it's also pitiful, and you don't accompany her." ”

Meng Yu looked at Ying Shaoyan's appearance, and he felt a little unbearable in his heart. My sister is always stuffed at home due to illness. But my cousin has been stuffed in Xiyuzhou since birth because of his identity as the son of a criminal minister, and he has never known what the outside world is like.

Meng Yu's anger also disappeared, and he patted Ying Shaoyan's shoulder: "Forget it." You also know Xiaoxue's thoughts, I'm afraid that I won't be able to control it in the future. She's my sister, though not sensible. But she's young and in poor health, so who is to blame for this?"

Ying Shaoyan nodded: "Well, then I'll try to stay away from her in the future." ”

Meng Yu smiled: "I have to go to Beiyan in a few days, why don't I invite you to a drink today!"

Ying Shaoyan saw that Meng Yu was happy, and he showed his face.

Although Meng Yu is younger than him, he has traveled south and north since he was a child, but he has seen a lot, and he is also one of the few people in Xiyuzhou who can be honest with each other. The cousin relationship of the two fell second.

Hearing that his cousin was going to Beiyan, Ying Shaoyan showed his face and became depressed again: Could it be that he is a big man, and he can't get out of Xiyuzhou after all?

However, he did not let his inner thoughts be exposed, but said: "I just have something to tell you, if you don't invite me well, I won't tell you." ”

Meng Yu punched him: "Can such an honest cousin also sell Guanzi?"

The two of them talked and laughed and went out.

After three glasses of wine, Ying Shaoyan took out the iron hoop that tied the hair of the Beiyan girl: "You patronized and scolded me, if you don't go today, how can you have this harvest." ”

Meng Yu took the iron headband, and when he looked at it, he couldn't help but gasp. At the front of the headband, there was an arrow on the top and two half-moon-shaped scimitars on the bottom.

Ying Shaoyan said: "This is the symbol of a local tribe in the western part of Northern Yan, and the name of that tribe is "Wulun" in Chinese. The last time you ever told your uncle about this, I think that's it. The tribe is quite remote, and the locals live mainly by fishing and hunting, and are quite hostile to the people of the prosperous cities, especially the wealthy families. I guess they just saw Xiaoxue's outfit at that time and suddenly wanted to bully her. As for the collusion between this tribe and the Central Plains to kill people, it is not very conceivable. Even if someone chooses to collude with Beiyan, they should not be chosen. Because their culture is quite backward, it is difficult to communicate with the Central Plains people at all. Besides, Beiyan oppressed them very badly, and they would not cooperate with Beiyan. ”

Meng Yu said: "What do you mean, that mark is just an eye-shower?"

Ying Shaoyan didn't answer, but immediately told Meng Yu about seeing Hou Lingshan. In the end, he said: "Since it is several forces that are involved in the intentions of Haixi Kingdom, it is possible that different forces are involved in that murder, and it is not as simple as a case." ”

Meng Yu said: "This case is indeed not so simple, I am really a little powerless to do it alone. If only you could get out of Xiyuzhou. ”

Ying Shaoyan drank all the wine in the cup and said lightly: "It's good that I'm here to help you." ”

Meng Yu knew what was on his mind, so he didn't say much, but said, "Hou Lingshan, this person can't be underestimated. He is not only a master of swordsmanship, but also has a good understanding of all kinds of side doors. I guess he mentioned the Eagle Osprey Peak because it was never difficult to enter the Haixi Kingdom directly from the side of the Eagle Eagle Peak. Or maybe he found a way and sold it to these parties to make a profit. He was originally a specialist in doing difficult things for others, and he had a good reputation, and he didn't offer buyers. Looks like we're going to have a fight with him in three days. ”

Ying Shaoyan said: "He knows that since he is seen by me, he can't shirk it, and it seems that he wants to stabilize me." I've definitely been in contact with a few parties in the past two days, should we go along?"

Meng Yu thought about it: "Don't use it for the time being, so as not to startle the snake." ”

Three days later, it was time to make an appointment with Hou Lingshan.

However, Meng Xue rested for the past few days, and her spirits improved, and she also went to the street to buy flower seeds, so there was another turmoil.

On this day, there is a set in the center of West Yuzhou City. All kinds of vendors came to the stalls, and it was very lively for a while.

Meng Xue is only occasionally accompanied by Ke'er on days when there is an episode, and she goes around the street. Mainly at this time, there will be a vendor with a large variety of flower seeds and flowers. The old man Du who sells flower seeds not only sells some local varieties, but sometimes also closes his stall to buy goods from other places, so Meng Xue likes to go to him to pick flowers or flower seeds.

It's a warm day, and there's a hint of early summer. Meng Xue only wore a moon-white gauze shirt, covered with a blue-blue embroidered gold lace shoulder, and a moon-white long skirt, like a fairy. She stepped off the carriage at one end of the bazaar, which had already attracted countless eyes.

Meng Xue didn't care. She has been an obedient and easy-going child since she was a child, and she doesn't think much about her widely praised beauty. Walking to the flower stall, the stall owner Lao Du was already greeting from afar: "The eldest lady is free to come over today!"

Meng Xue smiled and said, "Uncle Du is good, are there any good varieties?"

The stall owner said, "Yes!" He turned around and pulled a few pots of flowers, and took out a few paper bags containing flower seeds: "I have written all the planting methods, can you look at anything else?"

Meng Xue picked some flower seeds and flowers and plants, and asked Ke'er to pay the bill, and Ke'er and Jiading carried the booty to the carriage. Waiting for Ke'er to come over and pick Meng Xue into the carriage, Meng Xue inadvertently lowered her head, and suddenly sighed.

Ke'er asked, "What's wrong with Miss?"

Meng Xue said anxiously: "Why is the jade pendant missing?"
