readx; When Xiu Yuan helped Xuan Che change his clothes, the ship had already docked. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info also set up a plank between the shore and the side of the ship. When Xuan Che walked out, he saw Yu Qing running out with Yiqi, and there were already many vendors around, selling snacks and flowers. Xiu Yuan ordered the guards on the ship to carry the things to the inn, gave a few instructions, and then left with Xuan Che. As soon as Xuan Che got off the boat, he was greeted by an old lady selling gardenias, who was carrying a bamboo basket with about three or four gardenias, and she did not come forward to shout. Just standing there quietly, smiling at the passers-by. Xuan Che only felt a warmth in his heart, so he stepped forward and took two gardenias. Gardenias are fresh and elegant, with a timeless fragrance that makes people feel refreshed and happy.

The old lady was not in a hurry to collect the money, but just looked Xuan Che and Xiu Yuan up and down, and said with a smile, "What a pair of golden boys and girls." This land of Jing Chu can also be regarded as an outstanding person, but a look like you two is not common. ”

Xuan Che smiled faintly, "Mother-in-law smiled." ”

The old lady waved her hand, "Where, girl, don't think that the old aunt is for business, she praises when she sees people, she really knows some face-to-face skills, and the two people she saw are outstanding, and their status must not be low, so she said more." ”

Xuan Che had long known that this mother-in-law should not be simple, she was in front of her, and the mother-in-law only looked at her lightly, and would never stare at a person for a long time, if it was an ordinary country woman, she would definitely not have such an upbringing. Xiu Yuan asked softly, "Dare to ask my mother-in-law, how much does this cost?"

The mother-in-law smiled and said, "This flower can be in the hands of your two beautiful people, it is already stained, where do you dare to collect money." ”

Xiu Yuan lowered his eyes and stopped asking. Since the mother-in-law didn't want to take them money, he didn't ask any more. only bent down and made a gesture, and led Xuan Che away.

Xuan Che stopped all the way, Xiu Yuan was also very patient, he didn't urge, he just asked, "Don't you want to find Yu Qing and Yiqi?"

Xuan Che kept at his feet, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "What are you looking for them to do, I can finally be alone with you, why do you want to go to them." ”

Repair the source of speech, no longer speak. However, Xuan Che still heard Yu Qing's cry "Hui'er" and then saw Yu Qingfeng running to Xuan Che's side, reaching out to grab Xuan Che's left shoulder.

At this moment, Xiu Yuan also stretched out a hand and blocked Yu Qing's hand. Yu Qing shouted angrily, "I'll catch her, what's the matter with you?" Yu Qing didn't want to catch him, but when he saw that he had withdrawn, he grabbed Xuan Che's left shoulder again, but this time, even Xuan Che didn't see it clearly, and Yu Qing's wrist was grabbed by Xiu Yuan.

Yu Qing was a little angry, but because of his identity, he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he hurriedly said, "There are jugglers over there, and there will be no more if you go late." ”

Xiu Yuan let go of Yu Qing's hand and said lightly, "She has an injury on her left shoulder, don't touch it hard, if the wound is broken, it will bleed again." ”

Yu Qing suddenly realized, "Yes, I almost forgot, but fortunately you reminded me." ”

Xuan Che's expression was faint, but he still pretended to turn his head inadvertently and threw Xiu Yuan a charming look. Xiu Yuan saw it, as if he hadn't seen it, and looked away.

Yu Qing pulled Xuan Che and ran to the front, followed by Yiqi and Xiuyuan unhurriedly. Xiu Yuan looked at the long-bodied man beside him, and asked lightly, "Are you from the Eighteenth Palace of Smoke and Clouds?"

Yiqi's expression suddenly became solemn, no one had mentioned this name to him for a long time, and his tone was still calm, "Since Your Majesty knows, why ask." ”

Xiu Yuan smiled, "You don't have to be nervous, I just asked casually, the Eighteenth Palace of Yanyun has always been secretive, and I saw you today, so I want to know." ”

Yiqi said coldly, "Since Your Majesty knows martial arts, he naturally knows the rules of the rivers and lakes, although I was rescued by you, but the rules of the palace dare not be disobeyed, so I dare not say more." ”

Xiu Yuan said lightly, "I don't need you to say it, I say, you listen, if you say it right, you won't answer, if you say it wrong, you just don't answer." ”

Yiqi still said coldly, "Why should I do this?"

Xiu Yuan glanced at Yi Qi and said lightly, "I will naturally give you satisfactory chips, for example, what you have always wanted, freedom." ”

Yiqi looked at Xiuyuan, his eyes were full of complicated looks, and he asked, "Why are you ......?"

Xiu Yuan naturally knew what he wanted to ask, and interrupted him, "The eighteen cavalry of Yanyun is composed of a total of eighteen people, they are dressed in cold clothes, wearing scimitars at their waists, wearing masks on their faces, wearing black scarves on their heads, only showing their eyes, and wearing long black cloaks on their bodies, stepping on Huren horse boots, riding boots equipped with daggers, and everyone carrying big bows, each carrying eighteen arrows, and all equipped with full moon scimitars. The Eighteen Horsemen of Yanyun generally operate in the desert and rarely enter the Central Plains. Yan Yun's eighteen horsemen were elusive, and all of them wore masks, and no one had ever seen their true faces. In a hundred battles, not a single person was killed, and not a single person was even wounded. Right?"

I don't know what Yiqi thinks, so he replied, "The Eighteen Horses of Yanyun are the predecessors of the Eighteen Palaces of Yanyun, and after the Xichao settled down, they organized such a group of people to go to the desert area and settle outside. Since then, he has been settling in the desert. ”

Xiu Yuan continued, "But later, the border gradually stabilized, and the ruler at that time, in order to sweep away the party henchmen, sent people to find the Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry, but in order to facilitate the operation, it was not in the name of the imperial court, but in the form of a civil killer organization, and expanded the manpower. The current Yanyun Eighteen Palaces, the eighteen deacons in it, are no longer the original eighteen horsemen, but their martial arts are not necessarily weaker than them. ”

Yiqi lowered his eyes and was silent, he didn't need to explain anything, the person next to him obviously knew everything.

Seeing that he was silent, Xiu Yuan continued, "In order to hide people's eyes, this killer organization usually accepts things like assassinations by the people, but the person in charge is an official of the imperial court, right?" He didn't wait for Yiqi to answer, and still said, "You are the ninth rider of the Eighteen Horsemen of Yanyun and the descendant of Meidi, aren't you?"

Yiqi finally said, "Yes." ”

Xiu Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Since the Northern Emperor sent you to escort the eldest princess and relatives, waiting for the opportunity to attack the Cai State, he will definitely take the opportunity to disrupt the government of the Chu State, maybe it won't be long before you can see your acquaintances." ”

Yiki looked at him and asked, "What the hell are you trying to say, is it just to tell me something inconsequential?"

Xiu Yuan looked at him and said seriously, "Of course not." ”
