Chapter 14
Han Derang and Yeluxian left in a hurry, but found that the sound of horseshoes was getting closer and closer behind them, presumably it was Fu Sage's men and horses chasing them around.At this time, Ye Luxian already knew that it was caused by Li Hu's gathering, and he said bitterly: "Something that doesn't know how to live or die has ruined our affairs, what should we do?"

Handerang gritted his teeth: "When the time comes, I will ride my horse north to lure them away, and you will take the opportunity to leave."

Ye Luxian's complexion changed: "No, my lord is suspicious, I'm afraid that when the time comes, you will be regarded as a Li Hutong party."

Han Derang smiled wryly: "It's better to treat me as a Li Hutong party than to block you at this time. The overall situation is the most important thing, Mingyu, you listen to me." He said with a whip, and he wanted to go alone to chase away.

But Ye Luxian suddenly stopped him: "Listen, what's the sound?"

The hooves of the horses boomed in front of them, and the expressions of the two of them changed. When they looked up, they saw a group of horses galloping not far in front of them, and they seemed to be shocked somewhere.Han Derang's eyes lit up: "Your Majesty, let's go. This is really God's help. I don't know who provoked the startled horse, but it can cover us to escape!"

As soon as Han Derang opened his mouth, Yeluxian understood what he meant, and immediately he and Han Derang hurriedly rode their horses, facing the two wings of the horses, trying to escape by taking advantage of the startled horses.I didn't want him to pretend to be Han Derang's attendant today, and he was not riding the horse he used to ride. When he saw the startled horse, he was suddenly frightened and lost control, and ran around.Ye Luxian was shocked, and desperately pulled the rein, but he couldn't calm down the frightened horse.

Seeing this, Han Derang was very anxious, and he rode his horse forward to join him. How could he know that when the horses were frightened, how could human control be possible, and his horse would inevitably be involved in the frightened horses. He was still able to rescue, but seeing Ye Luxian being led further and further away by the startled horse, he felt very anxious.

But this group of frightened horses really helped the two of them a lot. At this time, Feng Sage was leading the troops to pursue this direction all the way. , I also looked at it and changed my face, so I had to rein in my horse and stop, and avoid it from a distance.

Ye Luxian was miserable, he couldn't help being held by the startled horse, and he ran farther and farther.It is not impossible to deal with frightened horses on the grassland, but because he is weak and sick, he may not be able to follow the frightened horse until the horses are tired before getting away.His forehead was dripping with sweat, and suddenly he saw a dozen stacks of haystacks in front of him, but they were left by the shepherds.In winter, there is heavy snow all over the fields, so the shepherds cut the grass and dried it in autumn to prevent the winter.Spring comes late in the northern country. Although it is already spring, grass tips have just emerged in many places. At this time, the dry grass for winter can still last for a while.

When Ye Luxian saw the haystack, he had some calculations in his mind. He tried his best to control the horse to get close to the haystack. When he got close, he gritted his teeth and stood up from the horse's back, let go of the rein and rushed towards the haystack.Seeing the opportunity, he jumped onto this haystack very quickly, and then quickly jumped onto the nearest haystack. Sure enough, the outermost haystack was quickly washed away by the frightened horse galloping, and Ye Luxian jumped straight up. Only when there were three haystacks did I feel safe, my heart was beating like thunder, my body was covered in cold sweat, my hands and feet were sore, and I lay on the top of the haystacks, motionless.

He lay there quietly until he heard that the horses had gone far away, then he got up and was about to think of a way to get off the haystack and leave, but his hands and feet were so weak that he accidentally fell off the haystack down.

He screamed in his heart that he was not good, this fall may really hurt his limbs, if someone finds him at this time, it is really difficult to explain.He didn't want to suddenly feel that he had bumped into a soft object, and heard the woman's scream, he was startled, but it was too late, the two rolled into a ball.

Ye Luxian knew that he should have crushed this woman when he fell, so he couldn't help rolling himself again. After the two separated, he stood up in embarrassment, but saw a girl in red with a grass on her head. Mud Chen raised his head and glared at him viciously.

Ye Luxian hurriedly spoke first: "Miss, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."

The girl wiped her face and said violently: "Hey, who are you? Where did you come from, do you know that it hurts me so much?"

Yeluxian struggled to get up and smiled wryly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Just now the herding horse suddenly rushed out and surprised my horse. I was afraid of being knocked off the horse's back, so I had to jump over the haystack to avoid it. Someone. Are you all right?"

As he spoke, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to help the young girl. The young girl was extremely angry, but when she heard what he said about startling the horse, she immediately became embarrassed and her attitude became much calmer.Seeing Yeluxian reach out to pull her, she also stretched out his hand to hold Yeluxian, and jumped up with strength.

Ye Luxian was already exhausted, and she almost fell down by her pull.The girl reached out and took a handkerchief from her sleeve, and wiped her face. Seeing that Yeluxian's face was also covered with ashes, she handed it over: "Here, you wipe your face too."

She spoke carelessly without meaning to, but Ye Luxian took her handkerchief and smelled a faint fragrance, his heart was beating like thunder, his face was flushed, he couldn't speak for a moment, he just stood there in a daze.

In the past ten years, although he has been served by nannies and maids, there are very few people who can be trusted. On a daily basis, he is still taken care of by two small servants who have been trained by the nannies.Mu Zong has always been misogynistic, so he dare not violate his taboos. Kuang's great career has not been accomplished, how can he have such thoughts, so he has grown up to such an age, even though he was born in the royal family, he has never had a real closeness to women.

At this time, seeing the girl wiped the dust, showing a red apple face due to exercise, and a pair of big eyes that are full of life, it is particularly exciting, reminiscent of a deer running on the grassland, so healthy and lively.Seeing him standing there in a daze, the girl was startled: "Hey, what's wrong with you, where did you hit?"

Ye Luxian came back to his senses, but he didn't dare to wipe his face with the handkerchief that the beauty had wiped, he just forced a smile and said, "I'm fine, are you okay?" Looking up, he saw that there was still half a grass stalk in the girl's hair, I think it was accidentally contaminated by rolling in the haystack just now.

He wanted to remind her, but when the words came to his lips, he was too embarrassed to speak. His hands were itchy for a moment, and he just wanted to reach out to help her take them off, but he didn't dare.

After hearing what he said, the girl smiled and said, "Of course I'm fine. Since you're fine, then I'm leaving..." She turned around and was about to leave.

Ye Luxian panicked, but couldn't help shouting: "Wait..."

The girl turned her head: "What's the matter?"

Ye Luxian was at a loss for words for a moment, and it was even more difficult for him to say the abrupt and beautiful words of "you have grass stalks on your head" at this time.But seeing the young girl staring at him with big black eyes, he felt that his mind was in chaos. Although he was always unpredictable, he didn't know what to say at this time.

Who knew that the girl looked at him, and thought of something: "Oh, I see, did your horse get scared away?"

Ye Luxian nodded hurriedly.The girl wrinkled her nose and said with disgust: "Your equestrian skills are too bad, you can't control a frightened horse..."

Hearing this, Ye Luxian wanted to explain but couldn't explain it, so he had no choice but to smile bitterly, and the girl said again: "Forget it, forget it, I'm to blame for this...Where do you live, ride my horse with me , I'll take you back."

Ye Luxian didn't want her to say this, his face turned red immediately, and he didn't know how to react for a while, watching the girl whistle, he saw a horse running from a distance, the horse was completely black, but its hooves were snow white , praised: "What a horse with dark clouds and snow, it is really a horse."

When the girl heard him praise her horse, she was overjoyed and praised triumphantly: "You really have vision." Then she jumped on the horse and stretched out her hand to Ye Luxian: "Get on the horse quickly."

Ye Luxian thought that he should stay here and wait for Han Derang—but when he saw the girl's little hand stretched out by Bai Shengsheng, he quickly found a reason for himself to stay here, and Handerang didn't know when he would come back. He found out that what should be done even if Fu Sage returns with his troops, the safest way is that he must return to his camp as soon as possible.The words of refusal came to his lips, but when he opened his mouth, he said: "Miss is in trouble."

Ye Luxian wanted to control the horse by himself, but the girl said: "Wuyun Gaixue has a bad temper, don't mess with it." He had no choice but to obey the girl's words, and sat behind her after getting on the horse, but his hands didn't know what to do. Where to put it.

The girl didn't take it seriously: "Wuyun Gaixue ran very fast, put your arms around my waist and be careful not to fall off."

Ye Luxian looked at the girl's innocent face, it seemed that she had no thoughts of men and women at all, her heart was full of emotions, but she couldn't speak, so she could only suppress her beating heart, hugged her slender waist, and the girl Waving the reins, Wuyun Gaixue galloped, and Yeluxian couldn't help hugging tightly.

The two rode together and headed south.Ye Luxian only felt the warm fragrance of nephrite in his bosom, and his heart was beating like a drum, and smelling the fragrance wafting from the girl's hair, he was in a trance for a moment.After he calmed down, he saw the half grass stem on the girl's hair that made people want to remove it for her. He thought that he had lost the time to remind him, so he could only quietly remove it for her.Thinking of this in his heart, he wanted to stretch out his hand, but when he loosened his hand a little, the girl let out a "Hey", and he was so scared that he didn't dare to move again.

The girl mistakenly thought that Ye Luxian was nervous, and comforted her with a smile: "Don't be afraid. Although Wuyun Gaixue runs fast, it is very obedient and will not knock you off your horse. Where are you going? I will take you there." .”

Ye Luxian smiled because of her innocence, and said softly: "Okay, I'm not nervous. Miss, please send me to the southeast of the imperial tent. I will make an appointment with my family. If we get separated, we will meet there."

"Oh, there's the imperial tent, that's very close." Not long after, the two of them came to the southeast of the imperial tent camp, Yeluxian saw that there was no one there, so he told the girl to dismount here.

The girl asked him to get off the horse, and said with a smile: "You're here, then I'm leaving."

Ye Luxian's heart moved, and he stopped her: "Miss, thank you very much today. I don't know your name, but I will go to thank you in person in the future!"

The girl was startled, and hurriedly waved her hands and said: "No need..." She paused, blushed, and said, "Actually, you don't need to thank me, I accidentally let the horse and the group of horses out , but you were frightened and lost your horse, now I send you back, let me make up for it, okay?"

Ye Luxian was taken aback, he didn't expect that she had saved him just now, he couldn't help laughing: "That's two different things, the girl saved me, I should be grateful."

"Don't..." the girl said in a panic, "If my father and elder sister find out, I will be in trouble."

Seeing this, Ye Luxian nodded, matched her expression, and said with a smile, "Okay, I won't say anything."

The girl looked at it and was surprised: "You live near the imperial tent, are you also a royal family?"

Ye Luxian was startled, and quickly covered up: "No, it's just that I made an appointment with my friend to meet here."

The girl nodded knowingly: "It's really hard to find a lost person on the grassland, and only the Yuzhang is the most obvious. Well, but you have to be careful, it's not safe these days, next time you can go to another place." Riding on the dark clouds and snow, I walked away without looking back.

She returned to her camp in a panic, and as soon as she jumped off the horse, she saw her elder sister standing in front of her with a sullen face, and asked her, "Did you get into trouble again?"

She was already guilty, but she was frightened by this question and told the truth: "The horses... I didn't let them go on purpose!"

Hu Nian didn't expect to cheat casually, so he cheated the truth.She just didn't see her sister in the morning, and after looking for a long time, she saw her coming in a panic, so she became suspicious, so she asked casually.

This girl is naturally Xiao Yanyan. She went to Han Derang's place early in the morning, but unfortunately, she was reprimanded by Han Derang for a few words, and ran away in a rage. Later, seeing that Han Derang went to her family's camp, she knew that she must be going. Those who were looking for her had to let their father and elder sister know that she ran into Han Derang's tent early in the morning to avoid suspicion, and she would naturally be scolded again.

One had a guilty conscience, and the other was still sullen in his heart, so he simply refused to go back to the camp, turned around and went to the horse farm to relax by riding a horse.Who knew that because of restlessness, after riding out of the dark cloud and snow, he forgot to close the fence of the horse farm, so he released all the horses in the horse farm.

When she turned around and found out, she knew she had caused trouble, but when she saw the horse slaves were busy harnessing the horses, she slipped away quietly riding on the dark clouds and snow.Unexpectedly, meeting Ye Luxian caused another story.

Seeing her guilty and short-tempered appearance, Hu Nian was angry and annoyed: "It's true that you will cause trouble after seeing each other for a while. I will tell daddy later, and I must punish you properly this time."

Yanyan became anxious, pulled Hu Nian and shouted: "Sister, don't tell Daddy, I won't dare next time."

Hu Nian was angry and in pain. Seeing that her head was still covered with grass stalks, he reached out and took it off to show her: "It's so messy with dirt and grass outside, it doesn't look like a girl from the descendants, it's like a haystack The wild girl in the village."

Wu Guli gloated at his misfortune: "Fortunately, you were not there when Han Derang came, otherwise you must have scared him away with your colorful face."

Seeing that Hu Nian took the grass stalk off her head, Yanyan couldn't help feeling ashamed and annoyed, thinking that just now she was holding this mess of grass and talking in front of a strange man for a long time, she hated the man who looked so honest, but actually He didn't remind her at all, could it be that he deliberately watched her joke?

She couldn't help being startled when she heard the words in Wuguli again: "Just now? When is it?"

Wugu said with a smile: "He and the eldest sister were hunting together in this circle just now, it seems to be about an hour." He winked at Hu Nian and said, "Elder sister, have you taken a fancy to Han Derang? Yanyan, you Do you want my brother to be my brother-in-law, or to be my brother-in-law?"

Hu Nian annoyed and lowered his face: "Bone, don't talk nonsense, believe it or not, I will punish you?"

Wu Guli stuck out his tongue and said no more.

Yanyan was stunned for a moment, thinking of what Wu Guli said yesterday, her usual carefree mood was suddenly cast a shadow.She looked up at Hu Nian, hoping that she would be able to say clearly, "Impossible."

But looking at Hu Nian's expression, although he scolded Wu Guli, there was no annoyance on his face, but a faint shyness on the contrary.The eldest sister is bright and straightforward, when did she have such an expression?
Yanyan's heart was both hot and cold. For a while, she thought that the elder sister was so good, so she had to let someone as good as her brother match her; Make a fuss, but can't tell.

She stood there blankly for a long time before she suddenly paused, turned around and ran to her tent.The maid, Brother Qing, saw that she was in a mess, so he hurriedly fetched water for her to freshen up and change clothes with several maids.Yanyan was so depressed that she didn't even eat dinner and fell asleep.

Ye Luxian watched Yanyan leave, thought of the half grass stalk on her head, and let out a "ah", but it was too late to scream, but seeing her galloping like the wind, she had already gone away.

Yeluxian paused, feeling annoyed and at a loss.How could I be so dazed just now, the two of them walked all the way, but they couldn't find a chance to remind her that there was a mess of grass on her head, presumably when she found out after going back, she would be annoyed that she didn't remind; Walking together like this all the way, I never even asked the beauty's name.

With indescribable liking and indescribable annoyance in his heart, he turned around and was about to go back, but suddenly found a jade pendant falling from the grass where the girl had left.

Ye Luxian picked it up and saw that the jade pendant was carved in the shape of a pair of fish, he thought it was the girl who dropped it just now.He secretly rejoiced, although he didn't know the identity of the girl, but seeing the texture of this jade and the carvers are extremely rare, I think it is possible to find out where this high-quality carver came from and where it fell.Can't help feeling a little excited, and hurriedly put this precious jade pendant in her arms.

After escaping the sentry post and returning to the tent, his confidant Chu Bu came up to meet him, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, only Your Majesty has not been here before."

Ye Luxian was surprised: "What did he say?"

By his side, of course, there are people sent by Fu Sage to monitor him. Just now, he pretended that he had "succumbed to an old illness" and asked his servant woman to pretend to be lying on the bed. Pretending to be a guard, he and Han Derang went to Han Kuangsi for treatment.At this time, he came back early and returned to the camp wearing the clothes of the guards.Usually during this time period, everyone knows that he has the habit of taking a lunch break, so hunting, hunting, and gatherings will naturally not disturb him, but it is impossible to imagine that he will not come.

"He wanted to ask the king to go hunting. I said that the king was not feeling well and fell asleep just now. I didn't let him in. I don't know if he was suspicious."

While changing clothes under the service of her mother-in-law, Ye Luxian ordered: "You go to look for him but he doesn't come, just say I'm awake, ask him to come and have dinner with me, and then send someone to find Han Langjun, Just say that I have something to look for him and let him come to my camp."

He left just now, thinking that Han Derang would definitely come back to look for him, if he disappeared, wouldn't he be in a hurry.He hurriedly made an excuse that he was looking for him and sent someone to send him a letter, thinking that Han Derang must have understood it as soon as he heard it.Not long after, Han Derang came in a hurry and was relieved to see Ye Luxian. The two met and asked Chu Bu to guard the door, discussed the content of today's discussion with Xiao Siwen, and agreed on the follow-up matters.

Not long after, Chu Bu inquired about the news and reported that Fu Sage had arrested several clans just now, among them were Shizong's two younger brothers, Yelushao and Yelulongxian. It is said that Mu Zong had ordered Fusage to question each On that day, anyone who is not in his camp and no one can prove that he is hunting with the crowd will be suspected or even taken away.

Ye Luxian's heart sank. Although he tried his best to cover up his comings and goings, if Fu Sage suspected him because of his two uncles' involvement in the case, it would be impossible for him to reveal his flaws.Thinking of this, I couldn't help but secretly regret it. I really didn't think carefully just now. It should be waiting for Han Derang to come back and Han Derang will accompany him. There is also an arguable reason.

The guard's wife came to report to him again that she was not in the palace tent, but had gone to Mu Zong's camp. Yeluxian was very anxious, but there was nothing he could do.It's just that he was naive and presumptuous if he was not raised by the Mu Zong brothers. If he was questioned by Feng Sage and told him that he was not in the camp, I'm afraid it would be even more suspicious.Thinking of this, I asked my mother-in-law again: "What else can I do?"

The mother-in-law thought for a while, and then said softly: "I heard that the emperor seems to want to confront... on the way back to Beijing..." He paused, and then said, "...do it."

Ye Luxian sneered: "I'm sure I saw him right, as impulsive as ever. Hmph, I'm looking for death."

When he said this, a thought suddenly came to his mind, if he could use this incident to bring Li Hu and his son to justice early, then the arrest of Fu Sage might be closed.

Po'er looked at his expression, and her face changed: "My lord, what do you want to do?"

Ye Luxian closed his eyes: "It's nothing, I think, we can take advantage of the matter of the emperor's uncle. You should find a way to spread it a little before returning to Beijing. In this way, once something happens, King Taiping can quickly find out whether it is the emperor's uncle or not." Uncle did it."

The mother-in-law was a little worried: "You have to get in the same car with the master on the way back. What if... how to deal with this matter, should you discuss it with Han Langjun again?"

Ye Luxian glanced at her mother-in-law, and said coldly: "Second brother Han is a gentleman, there are some things you don't need to let him know." The mother-in-law didn't dare to say any more, she just bowed her head and said "yes".

Ye Luxian put down the case file, and said calmly: "Don't worry. Li Hu can't take my life. Let the two of them fight it out. Whether Li Hu wins or loses, we can all benefit."

Fu Sage pursued him for a day and reported to Mu Zong at night.

Mu Zong supported Fang Xing's hangover head, and heard from Feng Sage that several suspicious clan ministers were arrested today, because Li Hu was the emperor's uncle, but he was not able to deal with it, so he had to wait for the emperor's instructions.

Mu Zong sneered: "Let's put him away for now, and we'll deal with him when we return to Shangjing." He then instructed, "Although not all the people today have been caught, you have to ask carefully about anyone who is not in the camp. "

Fu Sage quickly answered "Yes".

Mu Zong suddenly asked: "Is Ming Ming in the tent?"

Fu Sage didn't have time to ask, and when he got stuck, Mu Zong beckoned someone to ask the guard he sent beside Yeluxian, and after a while, the man came back and reported: "Mr. Han Lang came to see King Mingming this morning, But the king of Mingyu was not feeling well, so he asked his mother-in-law to go with Han Langjun to fetch medicine from Mr. Han Kuangsi, and only Chu Bu and Di Ligu were left in the tent to take care of him."

Mu Zong half closed his eyes and asked, "Has he ever gone out?"

"No. Later, my mother seemed to have encountered a frightened horse, and it took a long time to come back. Han Langjun also brought back medicine, and the king took the prescription and he was better."

Mu Zong asked again: "Has anyone ever looked for him?"

"It's just that the king didn't come, but at that time, the king of Mingyu was asleep, so the king didn't get any money and left."

Fu Sage asked smoothly, "Where did you go?"

Mu Zong said: "It's just that I'm here today." It's just that he was drunk again at that time, but it seemed that he wanted to complain to him about something, but he didn't bother to bother, so he drove him away.

He sat there, shaking his head with dull pain. There was always something in his mind that he wanted to catch but couldn't catch, and suddenly he became angry. He was always used to doing whatever he wanted. Since he was uneasy, he should use the most direct means. , why bother to guess why bother to think.Mu Zong suddenly opened his mouth and told Fu Sage: "You go to see Ming Ming tomorrow, and by the way, ask him to come too, and question him carefully."

Fu Sage was startled: "The Lord doubts him?"

Mu Zong sneered contemptuously: "What kind of ability can Li Hu have? If he has ability, he won't be an 'uncle emperor' until now. I don't know why, but I feel that I have been a little restless recently... Since I don't know what's wrong... Where is it, then I would rather kill more than miss anything."

Fu Sage hurriedly bowed his head to answer "Yes", but there was an inexplicable fear in his heart. This elder brother, they grew up together, shared weal and woe, and once talked with each other from heart to heart.

But since when did he become like this and he doesn't even know himself, since he started planning for the throne, or since he sat on the throne?

The subjects said that he was drunk and stupefied, but only he, the younger brother who was closest to him, knew that his elder brother was smarter and deeper than anyone else.Over the past ten years, how many people hated him, how many people wanted him to die, but in the end, he is still sitting firmly on the throne.

At the beginning of his succession to the throne, he doubted everything and killed countless people indiscriminately. It seemed that everyone was trying to seize the throne.Even Fu Sage was once suspected, imprisoned in a conspiracy case, and almost died.Later, his killing and killing of those important clan officials has gradually decreased, and now he has a keen intuition that is almost like a beast, as long as he smells it, there will be no mistakes or omissions.

Over the years, the fewer trusted people around Mu Zong, the more he relied on Feng Sage.He is an unreasonable tyrant in front of everyone, but only in front of Fu Sage, he is willing to accept his advice, dissuasion, even nagging, and even confides his pressure and thoughts to him.

But when he looked at Yeluxian, it was another matter.Ever since Ye Luxian came back from Xianggu Mountain when he was four years old, he has been acting very well-behaved for so many years, far more well-behaved than that reckless and rude Yumei.But for some reason, Fu Sage always felt a different kind of wariness towards him.But this kind of vigilance is impossible to verify, or... Fu Sage lowered his head, or because he, like himself, is the person closest to the throne.

At that time, King Ren Huang left and Taizong succeeded to the throne, but more than ten years later, King Ren Huang's son Sejong regained the throne from Taizong's son.Although the throne is still in the hands of the son of Taizong, will the son of Sejong be able to come back and regain the throne more than ten years later?
Fu Sage suppressed the throbbing in his heart: "Why does the Lord doubt him?"

But Mu Zong shook his head: "I don't know either, I just feel that there is something weird in my heart, I have to meet him to be sure."

Fu Sage was about to answer, when suddenly he heard the servant report from the outside, and the Prime Minister Xiao Siwen begged to see him.

Mu Zong ordered him to come in, and Xiao Siwen hurried in with a report, and the first sentence was: "My lord, after receiving the report, the troops of the Southern Dynasty gathered wantonly, and I am afraid that they will attack our Daliao, please make a decision early. "

Mu Zong was startled: "What? The Zhao family's son is really serious about the Northern Expedition?"

Xiao Siwen hurriedly handed in the report and urged: "My lord, please end the spring bowl ahead of time and return to Shangjing as soon as possible to make a contingency."
