Chang'an is good

The direct scorching sunlight made Yuxuan feel that everything was unreal at this moment, and even made her unable to tell whether she was in a dream for a while.

She walked out a little slowly, step by step, looking at the familiar and long-lost everything outside the house, her eyes were a little dazed.

The location of Princess Chongyue's Mansion is superior. Apart from being quiet amidst the hustle and bustle, the Xiqu River flows behind the mansion, which is convenient for getting water.

Yuchai walked forward, and the person who hadn't been out for more than ten years nervously grasped the edge of his sleeves. Looking around, he murmured to himself: "Shuiyun Tower... Shuiyun Tower is to the north, the north ..."

She seemed to be a little confused for a moment where North was, standing where she was and looking around to distinguish.

After distinguishing, a flickering sobriety appeared in her eyes, and this sobriety made her uneasy again, and she once again flinched.

Do not……

She probably shouldn't have come out!

Someone is going to kill her... Someone is definitely going to kill her!
But she saw His Highness's secret signal... She needs to go to Shuiyun Tower to find the answer!
Standing there, Yuxie felt the world spinning, her eyes hesitated repeatedly, but she didn't know that there was a pair of cold eyes staring at her from the dark place.

Not far away, there is a camphor tree that is nearly a hundred years old. Its dark green crown is luxuriantly extending, casting a huge cool shade.

Among the dense branches and leaves, there was a person hidden at this moment, and that person silently picked up a crossbow machine. It was not an ordinary crossbow arrow, but a steel needle glowing with cold light.

This needle is extremely poisonous, and if it enters the human body, it will quickly lose the ability to move.

If the delirious woman who came out of the eldest princess's mansion collapsed in this scorching heat afternoon, she would die quietly, and she was doomed not to even utter a scream.

Such a death that would not make any noise, even if someone traced it afterwards, they would definitely not be able to find his master.

But now, he only needs to aim at the delirious woman, and then pull the crossbow, and he can finally complete this long errand that lasted 12 years.

This seemingly ordinary midsummer afternoon was destined to become unusual because the woman chose to walk out of the eldest princess's mansion.

The man flicked the crossbow in his hand, and began to try to target his prey.

……

When Chang Suining returned to the mansion, he first asked Ah Che and Ah Zhi if they had been back today.

The female envoy in the courtyard shook her head: "Miss Hui, I haven't seen Sister Ah Zhi come back yet."

Chang Suining glanced at the sun that was going to the west, walked into the house, and confessed to Xi'er: "Recently, Azhi, Ache and the others have suffered a lot by guarding outside, so I asked the kitchen to boil some summer drinks for them. superior."

If the jade chip hadn't appeared for a day, they had to keep a close watch according to the plan, and there was no better way now.

Not only does she need Yuxie to come out of the eldest princess's mansion, but she also needs to snatch Yuxie's life from the person who may also be watching Yuxie in secret and is about to kill Yuxie——

But the enemy is still in the dark, she must not expose herself early.

To put it another way, she was robbing people under the other party's hands, and she was trying to snatch the jade scraps from the hands of Empress Ming. If she didn't want to cause doubts and troubles that would be difficult to deal with afterwards, this robbing could not be robbed clearly.

Although she already had a detailed plan, which she gave to Ah Zhi and Ah Che yesterday, it was obviously not going to be an easy task.

The only advantage is that if there is someone in the dark who really wants to silence Yuxie, that person will not show up to fight or make a big commotion out of scruples—because compared to her, he is more afraid of arousing the suspicion of the Empress Dowager and other parties The person who poisoned her was the murderer who poisoned her back then.

Therefore, even if the other party takes action, he is destined to be more restrained than her, and when faced with an emergency, his actions will be hindered.

Her plan was to take advantage of this "emergency" to rob people.

Now she only hoped that Yuzhu would come out of the eldest princess's mansion sooner, or that the summer would pass sooner.

Otherwise, she would have a disturbed conscience if she was so steamy outside all day long.

If Chang Ren knew what she was thinking, he would probably be moved to tears.

The night before last, the general brought ten of them to the girl and told them to recognize the Lord, and from then on they only had to obey the girl's orders.

The master is a girl, but the charming thing is that she is very obsessed with using force to subdue people. Presumably, if she is with such a girl, there will be no shortage of opportunities to play their roles in the future.

Sure enough, the girl found him yesterday and said that she had some urgent business to tell him.

Chang Ren didn't dare to be careless, and secretly decided that he had to do this first errand beautifully, so that the girl could have a look at his abilities.

Seriously, he only heard the girl say to him—Uncle Blade, I want to eat fish.

Chang Ren: "?"

He could only say: "Then... the subordinates go buy it?"

"No, I want to eat the fresh ones, the ones that are caught right now."

Chang Ren: "..."

Fish, freshly caught - haven't you had enough at the Imperial College?

He could only continue: "Then... the subordinates go fishing?"

The girl nodded to him.

And he said: "I want to eat the fish caught in the Xiqu River. The third father said that the water in that river is the sweetest, and the fish raised are also the freshest and most delicious."

Chang Ren: "..."

Sure enough, he was a good student brought out by Qiao Jijiu. That's right.

So, at this moment, he was sitting on the bow of a small broken boat moored beside the reeds by the river, fishing honestly.

In the scorching sun, he wore a straw hat to shade him, and sat cross-legged on the bow of the boat staring at the fishing rod.

Presumably, in the eyes of the few passers-by who passed by this day, he was more obsessed with fishing than Qiao Jijiu.

But the hateful thing is...

He has not caught a single fish all day.

The fish in the Xiqu River are so ignorant!

Chang Ren, who seemed indifferent and indifferent, caught a glimpse of the empty fish basket from the corner of his eye, and was already very anxious. He wished he could just jump into the river and catch some fish, and take a bath to cool off the heat along the way.

But there is still a child in the cabin—the girl is afraid that he will buy two fish at random and go back to fool the business, so she even hired a personal envoy to be the supervisor?
Is there even a minimum of trust?Although he did think so.

Although he was mad at the little girl's waywardness in his heart, but looking at the motionless fishing line, Chang Ren was more anxious and desperate.

If he returned empty-handed today, and the girl took this opportunity to return him, what face would he have to live in front of the general and all the brothers?

Damn, there are so many fish in this river, so what if a hook that swims over and bites him will kill them!

Oh, it seems that...

Chang Ren looked up in despair, only to see that the evening was approaching, and the time left for him was running out.

It's a long story, but everything happened at the same time in an instant. At this moment, the figure hiding on the camphor tree aimed the crossbow in his hand at the woman in blue.

The silent murderous intent has shrouded Yuxie's whole body.

And she seemed to have sensed some danger, or she flinched again. There is still a long way to go to Shuiyun Tower from here, and every time she thinks about such a long distance, it is enough to make her retreat.

Just when she turned around suddenly, the man on the tree knew that he couldn't wait any longer, this woman was as timid as a mouse, and he didn't know when she would come out next time...

So, he was going to pull the crossbow.

However, he was not the only one who couldn't wait for the next time. Suddenly, a dusty figure broke into his line of sight.

It was a little beggar in his teens.

He ran over and knelt down in front of Yuxie, blocking her way, holding a broken bowl in his hand: "My lady, please do me a favor, I haven't eaten for several days!"

Startled by the sudden appearance of a beggar, Yuzhu subconsciously backed away.

However, two beggars ran out of the alley not far away at this time.

"That's the lady who came out of the eldest princess's mansion!"

They all ran over to beg for jade scraps as if they saw a piece of cake.

"My lady, do me a favor..."

"I beg my wife to give me some food!"

Their faces and bodies were all dirty, the smell of sweat and filth was tangy in their nostrils, and everyone's expressions were eager to speak, which made Yuxin at a loss for a while.

"I..." After not communicating with people outside for a long time, she stumbled when she spoke: "I have nothing to give you..."

However, the three beggars still surrounded her, and one even begged to grab her sleeve.

This move undoubtedly irritated Yuchai, she suddenly raised her hand to wipe away the dirty hand: "Go away!"

But at this time, more beggars rushed over after hearing the movement.

They were beggars who stayed in the nearby back alley all the year round, and they all knew the generosity of the female envoys from the eldest princess' mansion, so they all surrounded them when they saw this.

These people are usually older, some people hold a bowl in one hand and lean on a stick in the other, which makes Yucha more flustered and nervous than the three little beggars just now.

The man on the tree couldn't help frowning when he saw the mess.

It was impossible for him to show up in front of so many people, and he could only hope that these beggars would leave as soon as possible.

Regardless of whether they can beg for anything, they will always leave, just wait patiently...

However, something worse happened before his eyes.

As the beggars approached, Yuchai kept backing away in a panic, slipped and fell into the river suddenly.

"what!"

She let out an exclamation.

The expression of the man on the tree changed.

There is a lot of rain in summer, and the river is a little more urgent. The blue man stretched out his hands and struggled frantically in the water, shouting intermittently: "Help..."

"Why did you fall into the river!"

"Did you push..."

"I didn't! She fell in by herself!"

"How to do?"

"Too bad, this is a nobleman in the eldest princess's mansion... look for us later, I'm afraid no one will be able to escape!"

"Hurry up, let's run while no one is there!"

A group of beggars scattered in fear, and quickly left here.

The man watched the blue figure struggling down the water, and after making sure that there was no one around, he immediately jumped off the tree and ran quickly to the river.

Yuchai could swim, but she was too panicked to move her hands and feet, and just floated and struggled with the current.

Hearing the movement, Chang Ren raised his eyes to see someone falling into the water, when he was about to speak, he suddenly felt a movement of the boat, almost shaking him off.

Ah Zhi shook the paddle and rowed the boat forward.

Chang Ren hastily put away the fishing rod.

The boat quickly approached the struggling person in the water, Ah Zhi knelt down and handed the oars: "Come on!"

Seeing that the rescuer was a woman, and it was time to survive, Yuxie didn't hesitate, and quickly grabbed the end of the oar.

Ah Zhi had great strength and quickly dragged the man up to rescue him.

Yucha lay down on the deck of the boat, coughing and spitting out two mouthfuls of river water.

"Have you finished vomiting?" Ah Zhi asked while helping her up halfway.

Hearing this concerned voice, Yuzhu looked up at her with difficulty, and was about to speak, but was knocked unconscious by Ah Zhi's knife.

Seeing this scene, Chang Ren: "?!"

"Hurry up, set the boat out of the city." Ah Zhi urgently urged Chang Ren, dragging the jade chips into the cabin: "This is the girl's confession!"

Chang Ren's complexion changed when he heard the words, he hurriedly picked up the oar, and finally took a last look at the woman who was dragged into the cabin.

The fishing that the girl talked about...couldn't be this fish!

But how can a girl do such things in broad daylight?
But right now I can't control that much... The time has come to show his ability!
Chang Ren strenuously swings the boat, shaking the oars out of afterimages.

When Ah Zhi rescued her, the jade chips had already been washed away for a certain distance, and since there were reeds covering the river, no one could see her actions.

When the man chased to the river here, he only vaguely saw a small boat going away, and regardless of whether there was anything unusual about the boat, he could only continue to chase and follow the river to pay attention to the traces on both sides.

The west of this river flows into the moat, from which you can leave the city.

But Chang Ren quickly worried about one thing.

Although they were going out of the city by boat, most of them had to be interrogated by the guards near the place where they left the city.

The curfew was lifted for three days during the Dragon Boat Festival, and today is the third day, and the curfew will be restored from tonight. It is getting late at this time, and it is unknown whether they can get out of the city!
If you're lucky, it's good if the soldiers guarding the city are more accommodating, but if you encounter someone who refuses to let go, and you find the unidentified woman on the boat, you will be in big trouble.

And Ah Zhi urged him to hurry up all the way, obviously there were pursuers behind him!

Not going forward, not going backward...

"Otherwise, let's dock here!" Chang Ren suggested.

When he got ashore, he just found a place to hide the person first - although he didn't understand why he did it at all!
"No." Ah Zhi said seriously: "The girl told me that she must leave the city immediately after taking this person with her. If it is too late, things will change. Now I can only leave the city."

Although she didn't understand everything, she had been with the girl for some time, and since the girl explained it like this, there must be a reason for her to do so.

Chang Ren is not a long-winded person, the Chang Mansion uses military law to rule the family, and those who can gain the trust of their masters have engraved the word obedience into their bones.

So Chang Ren bit the bullet and continued to row the boat.

As he expected, there were guards stopping the boat near the exit of the city.

Near the city gate on the moat, there is a drawbridge that can go up and down. Soldiers are stationed above and below the drawbridge. At this moment, two guards with long guns stopped them.

"This section of the river is no longer allowed to sail boats. It is planned to pass at the beginning of Duanyang, and we will not be held accountable for our ignorance, and the gate of the city is closed. Hurry up and go back the same way!"

Facing the non-negotiable repelling words, when Chang Ren was about to speak, he suddenly felt Ah Zhi in the cabin behind him tug on his robe.

When he turned his head, Ah Zhi stuffed something into his hand.

Thank you for your monthly tickets, and thank you Taosu and Sixi, the hosts who donated rewards! (Add more notebooks and remember first, let me pay off the debt slowly)
Today I recommend Erqian's new book "The Little Cook of the Imperial College" I don't want to read, I just want to cook!

(I don’t know if the surname of Jijiu at the Guozijian is Qiao or not. Does the cafeteria eat fish every day?)
