Jiaochu

Chapter 214 Peony Banquet ([-])
"Suddenly crazy?" Yanjiang rubbed his chin and thought for a few seconds, but didn't say anything else.

Yuan Luo asked: "Where is the cave? Do you still remember it?"

Sandalwood thought about it for a moment and shook her head slowly, "It was getting dark at that time, and the Nu family didn't pay attention to the surroundings."

"It's no wonder. The girl was running for her life. She didn't have time to see what flowers and plants were around." Yan Jiang added, "But Mr. Yuan is very aware of everything. As long as he knows where the girl fell from, he will definitely follow the clues." We can find the cave."

"The general is right, but there have been a lot of people coming and going in the capital recently. Most of the people under my command are out patrolling. If we want to search the mountain, we may not have enough manpower." Yuan Luo said.

Yan Jiang said: "When I get back to you, I will talk to Commander Wu and ask him to even out his manpower for you."

"Then there is General Law."

"It's easy to say, easy to say. Now that Miss Sandalwood has returned and everything is clear, can you let me go? Chunfeng Tower still has to open a shop to do business. How can it be successful if there is no one in the shop?"

"Of course, does the general have any other orders?"

"I don't dare to take the order seriously. I'm just giving you a suggestion. There are all grown men in this Imperial City Department. It's really not suitable for a girl's family to recuperate here. If this spreads out, others will think that Master Yuan is hiding his beauty in a golden house and not doing his job properly. "

"Thank you, General, for reminding me. General, walk slowly."

After Yan Jiang left, Yuan Luo asked Sandan Xiang another question.

"Is the girl's boss back? Last time, the girl said that Boss Qiu was away from home. It has been a few months. Boss Qiu should be back."

Sandalwood replied: "My boss sent me a letter last month saying that I would stay in Qingzhou for a while. The tea utensils were shipped back a few days ago."

"I also have business friends in Qingzhou. Maybe Boss Qiu is willing to make friends with them," Yuan Luo said.

Sandalwood leaned forward and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to thank you for your kindness."

"I don't know where Boss Qiu is staying. My friends shouldn't be looking for someone on the street." Yuan Luo said half-jokingly.

Sandalwood leaned forward and replied: "My master didn't mention it in the letter, and I don't know about it either. I'm afraid I will let down your kindness."

"It's okay. I'll personally recommend it to Boss Qiu when I have the opportunity in the future." Having said this, a subordinate came in with a bowl of medicine. Yuan Luo took the bowl of medicine and placed it gently in front of Sandalwood. "Girl, drink the medicine first." That's it." Sandalwood nodded, picked up the spoon and took a slow sip. After two more sips, Yuan Luo stood up and said goodbye, letting Sandalwood rest here for now. It won't be too late to go back when he feels better. Sandalwood bowed and thanked him. .

……

In the evening, a carriage left the Imperial City Division.

The carriage entered the East Market and stopped outside the door of Chunfeng Building. The seal on the door had been removed. The workers, cooks and servants in the building had also returned. They all looked haggard and had dull skin. It was obvious at a glance that they had not been here for the past few days. Had a good night's sleep.

After giving a few simple instructions, Sandalwood went to the backyard.

After entering the small vermilion building hidden in the green shade, she closed the door first and then lit the oil lamp. The bright yellow light immediately dispelled the darkness on the first floor.She turned the large white porcelain vase in the corner to open the entrance to the underground secret room, held an oil lamp to shine inside, and then walked down.

The two large mahogany boxes were still in place. She glanced at the two boxes, without opening them for inspection. She walked straight to the gap between the two boxes, reached out and pressed on the wall, opening a secret door again.

There was light coming from inside, as if a lamp was lit. After she entered, the secret door closed again.

After a while, the secret door opened and closed again.After a while, the person came out of the underground secret room.

After coming out of the yard, Sandalwood locked the hanging flower door again, and then went to the lobby in front. He gave a comfort fee to the staff, cooks and handymen, and gave everyone two days off. Everyone looked unlucky. Only then did I add some joy.

The next day, a waiter left the city according to Sandalwood's instructions, found the Orion's house, and gave the couple a generous reward. …

With a whoosh, the sharp arrow hit the bullseye.

A man and a horse whizzed past with lightning speed and majesty, which made some of the onlookers stare in surprise.

The tall and mighty brown horse quickly rushed to the end of the track. Commander Wu tightened the reins. The brown horse ran for a few steps and then stopped quickly. After Commander Wu dismounted, a guard quickly came over and took the horse from Commander Wu's hand. Bow and arrow.

Today, everyone is not studying in the study room, but practicing riding and archery with Commander Wu.After Commander Wu demonstrated horseback archery, Ye Qingran, the eldest prince, began to practice.

"Brother, be careful." Ye Lingxi warned. Looking at her eldest brother's thin body, she was silently worried that if he fell, he would not have any flesh to cushion him...

Ye Qingran hummed, unaware that the little girl was silently worried...worried that he didn't order some meat pads...

The guards brought the horses, and Ye Qingran picked up the bow and arrow on the table. After getting on the horse, he observed the position of the target. After getting ready, he galloped his horse, nocked the arrow and drew the bow, and released the arrow just before the horse's hoof stepped on the target.

Ye Lingxi cheered and clapped.

The arrow was just a little short of hitting the bullseye.

Regarding this achievement, Commander Wu nodded in affirmation. Ye Lingxi also praised it and said it was awesome. Ye Xingye also said it was awesome. Ye Qingran glanced at the arrow that was not even close, and neither of them felt unwilling or disappointed.

Seeing her eldest brother's calm demeanor, calm and calm, Ye Lingxi didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

Next, Ye Lingjue's arrow hit the target.

Many people cheered, especially Hu Yuhan's cheers, which made Zhou Jing standing next to him take a few steps away.

Ye Lingxi looked up at the sky, a little worried.

When Ye Xingye missed her arrow, she felt even more worried.

"Second brother, have you practiced secretly in private?"

Hearing her third brother's words, Ye Lingxi also pricked up her ears and waited for the answer.

"Third brother, the arrow you just fired was too early." Ye Lingjue said.

After Ye Xingye thought about it for a few seconds, he suddenly nodded and said, "So that's it. Second brother, you have such good eyesight~"

Ye Lingxi snickered, thinking to herself that her third brother was really good at complimenting people~
"Ahem!" Zhao Ce coughed, indicating that it was his turn to play, and glanced at Ye Lingxi again. When he saw those big eyes looking over, he walked to the track majestically.

Then, he came back looking unlucky.

"There must be something wrong with this bow!"

"There's something wrong with your eyes."

Yan Fei said calmly, picked up his bow and arrow and left.Ye Lingxi made a cheering gesture towards him, and her cold eyebrows added a touch of soft warmth.

Zhao Ce stepped forward angrily and stood between the two of them like a watchstone.
