Kunning

Inside Mingfeng Palace, the lights are brilliant.

The palace people stood with their hands down in the faintly flickering light and shadow, and there were many tributes from foreign countries piled high in the hall, including precious whole ferret fur, rare fist-sized pearls, and white jade carvings. The Nine Links into...

When illuminated by the light, they all shone brightly, shining on people's faces.

When Su Shangyi walked in from the outside, she asked gently: "Where is the princess?"

The palace man still had some lingering fears, and said timidly: "I'm inside, I won't come out, and I won't let the servants go in to serve."

Su Shangyi felt a pain in her heart.

She watched Her Highness the Eldest Princess grow up, and to say something disrespectful, she treated her as a half-daughter, but now she saw the envoys from the Tatars toasting with the Holy Majesty on the main hall, and said nothing in a few words. Betroth the princess...

"I'll go in and have a look."

Su Shangyi walked over, raised her hand and opened the bead curtain.

The window was not closed, and there was a cold wind blowing in from outside. The bead tentacles on the bead curtain were actually cold, and when they were released, they collided together, making a pleasant sound.

But when Shen Zhiyi heard it, she felt that the sound was like ice cubes colliding together.

All the good-looking makeup during the day has been removed.

The scar on his face that was covered with cherry powder became very obvious on this plain face, just like the so-called family affection of the royal family. After the big waves washed away the sand on the ground, a bit of hideous and ugly face finally appeared. ability.

When Shen Zhiyi saw Su Shangyi's figure in the mirror, she seemed extremely calm, and even smiled lightly, and said, "I'm fine, Su Shangyi doesn't have to worry about me. If I turn around and let my mother know, maybe I'll look for you again trouble."

How could His Highness be like this in the past?

At that time, he was flamboyant and unrestrained, saying what he liked, but now he is so calm when encountering such a big event.

Shen Zhiyi didn't cry, Su Shangyi's eyes almost turned red, but she has always been a very strict person, and she didn't want to show too deep emotions, so she endured it, and said: "I heard that Your Highness didn't eat at night, I'm really relieved No more. Let the small kitchen do something new, just drink a bowl of soup to keep warm."

Shen Zhiyi, however, only looked at the scar on her face, stroked it lightly with her fingertips, and said with downcast eyes, "I can't warm my heart."

Su Shangyi burst into tears immediately.

Shen Zhiyi finally turned around and hugged the nanny who watched her grow up, as if she wanted to draw some strength and warmth from her, but she avoided the topic of marriage and asked instead: "Shang Yi, Ning Ning Won't you come tomorrow?"

When the news came that she was going to make peace with Tatar, Shen Zhiyi accepted it calmly without crying or fussing. Probably because she was so calm, it aroused the rare guilt of Shen Lang, a brother. He only asked her if there was anything she wanted, and she tried to satisfy it.

She only said that she wanted to accompany the readers back to the palace to study.

In order to make Shen Zhiyi happy, Shen Langdang even agreed to let the young lady who was originally chosen to study with each mansion enter the palace at night. But Jiang's mansion handed over a confession note, saying that Jiang Xuening was sick and couldn't bear the cold, and was afraid that the princess would be angry with her illness, and she had to wait until she recovered before entering the palace.

Su Shangyi also inquired about it, and comforted her: "Jiang's family invited a good doctor to see him. He said that although the illness is on the mend, it has stabilized and he will be able to enter the palace in a few days. Please don't worry."

Shen Zhiyi actually felt empty in her heart.

If Ning Ning didn't come, it would be no different if the other companions came.

not to mention...

She bent her lips silently, and said: "Yes, even if Ning Ning enters the palace now, there is nothing to learn. Mr. Xie has led his people to settle the chaos of the Heavenly Sect, and he will not teach in the palace. When Mr. Xie comes back, Her illness is also cured, maybe it’s just right.”

Su Shangyi didn't understand what was going on in the hall, so she just nodded and said, "It's best for Your Highness to think like this."

Then, just like before, he removed the pearl from Shen Zhiyi's head.

Long hair like a thick cloud fell down, but in the mirror was a pair of calm eyes that were almost dead.

There was indeed a lot of discussion in the court about the robbery of the prison by the Heavenly Sect.

After all, no one expected that so many fugitives would follow them out at the beginning.

Xie Wei came up with the plan, which naturally caused a lot of criticism.

Although he has always been a civil servant, since some people questioned his strategy and suspected that there was such an omission in letting the tiger go back to the mountain, he naturally had to stand up and take responsibility.

In fact—

This is exactly the purpose of Xie Wei.

For Gu Chunfang, recommending Zhang Zhe to pretend to be a member of Du Junshan, it was a bad plan for him; now, taking advantage of the criticism from the court, he asked himself to take responsibility, and went to track down these people and the Tianjiao rebels. The whereabouts of the party and the completion of the collection of the net, this will naturally bring this matter back under control.

However, there is always such a little surprise.

At the beginning, Jiang Xuening and the others had already stationed a large group of officers and soldiers outside the ruined temple where they had settled.

The dilapidated temples were cleaned up.

Jianshu walked back from the shadowy withered forest outside, stepped into the temple, and saw Xie Wei sitting cross-legged on a clean brocade mat in the corner, looking up at the headless Bodhisattva, with a pair of His dark eyes were half hidden in the shadows, dim and hard to see.

He was wearing thick clothes, and his thin lips were bloodless.

Although he still looked peaceful, there was a bit of frost-like coldness between his brows.

Jian Shu bowed and said: "I found the mark left by Xiao Bao on the bark of a tree outside. There is indeed a woman who is traveling with Zhang Zhe, and she is quite protected by the other party. Maybe it is Miss Jiang Er. And..."

Walking with Zhang Zhe, he is quite protected by the other party...

She wasn't worried about her own safety.

The Bodhisattva has only a body and no head, and it looks very scary when the light is dim.

Xie Wei watched, and only asked: "What else?"

Jianshu hesitated for a moment, and his voice became softer: "Xiaobao said, apart from Huang Qian and Feng Mingyu, Mr. Dingfei is also here this time."

Sitting cross-legged, hands rest naturally on knees.

His sleeves are wide, covering the back of his hands.

The fingers that were exposed were slender but somewhat bluish white. The small wound on the pulp of the ring finger of the right hand has been treated, and the blood scab has formed, and it does not hurt much when it is placed on the knee.

Hearing the name, Xie Wei bent his lips: "That's a coincidence."

There is a bit of a sense of humor in the smile.

Jian Shu knew what the word "coincidentally" referred to, and said, "Ding Guogong led the troops in front, and he also went straight to Tongzhou. The matter you explained a few hours ago has been completed by someone. The news from Duke Ding has been delivered."

If Xiao Dingfei was here, he would jump up when he heard this!

Well, why did the **** Duke Ding of the Xiao family also get involved?

This matter has to start from the day of the court meeting.

Originally, Xie Wei was the one who came up with the strategy of using Gongyicheng as a bait to lure the Tianjiao into the game, and Xie Wei should have taken care of all the troubles except some accidents. Unexpectedly, Duke Ding Xiao Yuan jumped out and said that Xie Wei is a civil servant who does not have the ability to lead troops in battle, so it would be safer for him to do it himself.

The emperor thought so too.

With a wave of his hand, he asked Xiao Yuan and Xie Wei to deal with the matter together. They simply split up into two groups and tracked separately, trying to capture the rebels in the shortest possible time, arrest the repeat offenders, and rescue Zhang Zhe who was involved in danger. .

At noon, Xiao Yuan set off with his own soldiers.

Xie Wei followed behind in a calm manner.

Jianshu was very worried.

Xie Wei only gave him some instructions, saying: "There is no way to hell, he came here, since he wants to die, he must be taught a lesson."

After Jianshu heard the order, he was stunned.

It's just that he has been by Xie Wei's side for many years, and after he calmed down and thought about it, he broke out in a cold sweat, secretly thinking that this time he killed three birds with one stone, so he couldn't be kind. Not to mention Tianjiao and Xiao Shi, even Mr. Zhang Zhe...

There was a fire in the temple, but it was very cold when the wind blew in.

Xie Wei's complexion turned pale again.

However, the next moment he flushed a little, and he coughed as soon as he frowned, his shoulders shook, and the long shadow on the wall also shook.

Then those who stood motionless in the shadows became clear instead.

It was Daoqin with delicate features, wearing a dark blue dress, carrying a bow and arrow and quiver, standing behind Xie Wei like a shadow.

Jianshu knew that drawing his sword out of its sheath might not necessarily kill someone.

But if the arrow of Daoqin leaves the string, it will definitely kill.

"My sister's complexion is not very good, is it uncomfortable?"

Jiang Xuening heard that everyone was still talking about the affairs of the ruling and opposition parties, and she hadn't said a word for a long time. He suddenly heard such a concerned voice, and when he raised his head, he saw a braid dangling in front of him.

It was that young little treasure again.

The other party's eyes were big, and he was squatting beside the fire to add firewood. When he looked back at her, he seemed a little worried and asked a question.

Only then did Jiang Xuening suddenly come to her senses, thinking that the matter of Shen Zhiyi's marriage was ordered by the emperor, she was at best a lady of the official family, how could she influence the court situation and prevent this from happening?

Can't control it.

What's more, do you really want to go back to that prison in the capital for others? It should be noted that the opportunity must not be lost, and the loss will never come again. Maybe there will never be such a good opportunity again...

This is out of your control.

It's out of your reach.

This is the fate of man.

She told herself this in her heart, forcing herself to drag back the chaotic thoughts in her head, and subconsciously said: "It's okay."

Xiaobao was very puzzled, blinked and said: "But you look like you are sick."

sick?

Jiang Xuening remembered the plan with Zhang Zhe.

After entering Tongzhou City, she had to pretend to be sick, and then go to the hospital to see a doctor, pass on the news, and she would be out of danger, and then she would leave Tongzhou and the capital without anyone noticing.

It's just right to pretend from now on...

So she didn't pull herself together, she just sat next to Zhang Zhe with a sleepy look, smiled weakly, and said, "Maybe it's because of the wind blowing on the road, and I have a headache."

The girl's body is delicate, let alone someone like Jiang Xuening?

Everyone didn't think much about it at the moment, thinking it was normal.

Xiaobao's eyes flashed, thoughtful.

Xiao Dingfei was huddled next to Jiang Xuening, but when he raised his eyelids and saw Xiaobao coming to add firewood to the fire, he felt really frightened, took his water bag and slipped away quietly, went to Feng Mingyu and asked, "Mr. Zuo Uncle, is there no news from the city yet? I really can't wait!"

If it doesn't end quickly, I'm afraid we will have to wait for the evil star.

He was so panicked that he wished he could sneak into the city right away.

Feng Mingyu still remembered the absurd words he said on the way, his face trembled, and he said, "It should be soon."

Just as he finished speaking, footsteps suddenly sounded in the darkness.

All those who had swords held down their swords at once.

Huang Qian heard a whistle in the dark, and quickly got up to suppress the reaction of everyone, and said with a smile: "It should be that the whistle came back, I'll go and have a look."

Huang Qian walked over.

A dark figure over there spoke to him and handed him something.

Huang Qian's body seemed to shake.

He took the thing back and handed it over to Feng Mingyu.

It was a thin mailbox.

Feng Mingyu didn't pay much attention when he received it at the beginning, but when he opened the letter box, he pulled out the small rolled-up letter paper inside, and saw a small black emblem drawn on the upper right corner of the letter paper, with smooth lines like winding mountains , So simple that there is a sense of returning to the basics, the complexion suddenly changed.

When I read the letter from the exhibition, my pupils constricted even more.

Even though he had repeatedly warned himself not to startle the snake, his flickering eyes still uncontrollably drifted in the direction of Zhang Zhe.

Zhang Zhe was too far away, and he only vaguely felt that the other party's eyes turned towards him.

His heart trembled slightly.

Xiao Dingfei couldn't wait any longer, and asked repeatedly: "How is it, how is it?"

Feng Mingyu directly stuffed the letter back into the mailbox and put it in his sleeve, without letting others see the emblem, his heart raced, but he came back with a smile on his face, and said: "Keep everyone waiting, the sentry will reply to the letter, everything is safe , everyone can enter the city now."

Everyone was happy and stood up one after another.

Zhang Zhe also stood up.

However, Jiang Xuening felt an unspeakable uneasiness in her heart, she gently grabbed his sleeve, her lips parted, before Feng Mingyu had time to say anything, Feng Mingyu had already paced in front of them. A face turned away from the burning fire behind him, although he was smiling, but there was a bit of creepiness in the shadows, and his posture was respectful: "Master Zhang, let's go together?"
