eye-catching

"Where are you going, my lord?"

Yuan Qi watched him pack his things and couldn't help asking.

"All the things here should be gone. I'll go to Ningzhou to live for a while."

"I'll go with you."

The prince only glanced at him and said, "Servant Lin is still here."

As soon as the words came out, half of Yuan Qi's face turned red.

"I'm going to stay for a while, and I'll be back later."

When the prince said this, there was an inexplicable light in his eyes.

"My lord, servant Lin and I..."

The prince waved his hand at him and said, "I know, you don't need to explain."

After a while, he sighed, "Treat him well."

Yuan Qi knew that he was getting sentimental, so he quickly shut up.

After eating, the prince left for Ningzhou without taking anyone with him.

As soon as the prince in this chamber left, Lin Xie came in behind.

When he came to look for the prince, he only had one question, that is, if those ten people were really sent by the prince, why did they hide it from the late king!There is no reason, if you are really afraid that the late king will be jealous, you can let the late king send someone there, there is no need for the prince to do such a scene!

Seeing that the prince is not there, he hurriedly asked, "Where is the prince?"

Yuan Qi was cleaning the house for the prince, without looking up, he just said: "Go to Ningzhou."

Halfway through packing, he suddenly called out, "What is this?"

Lin Xie stepped forward to look, and saw some letters.

"My lord doesn't write letters, where did these come from?"

Yuan Qi looked at Lin Xie, but when he saw him stepping forward, he took it apart and looked at it.

"You can't—"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Xie had already taken it apart. After seeing the contents on it, he frowned slightly.

Yuan Qi couldn't stop him anymore, he just said: "If the prince finds out, he will be angry."

"This seems to be..." Lin Xie didn't pay attention to his words, just looked at the letter and frowned.

"Could it be..."

A trace of surprise flashed in Lin Xie's eyes, and he raised his head and said, "Give these letters to me first, and I will return them to you later!"

"It's not mine!"

Before Yuan Qi could stop him, he had already picked up a few letters and left.

Yuan Qi stood on the spot, looked at his retreating back, opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

The prince seems to have told him to treat Lin Xie well, right?

Yuan Qi scratched his head, feeling a little overwhelmed at once, the prince is also, how could he leave such an important letter here?Although I don't know what kind of letter it is, but looking at Lin Xie's appearance, it should be very important.

He sighed, just give it to him, anyway, the prince will not come back right now.

Yuan Qi thought so, then shook his head and went out to do something.

Yixin Villa is located by a big river, on a relatively high terrain. To the east is the Governor's Mansion, separated by a forest. In this season, the trees are lush, separating the Governor's Mansion from the villa.To the west is a pond with a few ducks swimming in it.Standing by the pond, you can see the wide river with a few boats rowing on it from time to time, and the two rows of willow trees by the river are full of vitality.

When the prince passed by, some servants were cleaning the yard. When those people saw that the prince was coming, they quickly knelt down in a row.

"Where's the butler?"

"Here it is."

The prince followed him around, it was indeed the place chosen by the previous king, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, and you can also enjoy the scenery, not far from the governor's mansion, it is really a treasured place of geomantic omen.

He called the housekeeper and said, "This king will live here for a while."

The old butler agreed, and then withdrew.

When the prince entered the inner room, he realized that there was only one bedroom in the entire villa, and there was only one bed.

His eyes were full of smiles, if they could really live here together, wouldn't they be sleeping together?

He stretched out his hand to caress the curtain, the melancholy in his eyes couldn't be dispelled no matter what.

He was very thoughtful, but the only thing he didn't expect was that he wouldn't live in with them.

He took out the letter he had written to himself from his bag, and when he turned to the end, he was suddenly taken aback.

Something is missing.

He thought about it for a long time before he realized that he separated the others when he read the letter before leaving, but forgot when he put it away!

He cursed secretly, but there was no other way. Thinking about it, Yuan Qi should have put it away for him, and he was relieved immediately.

Since he got these letters, he had to read them every day, and he felt even more guilty after listening to Meng Moyun's words earlier.

The unspeakable feelings kept reverberating in his heart. He wanted to forget, but he couldn't help it, but he didn't know when it would calm down. He could only wait for himself to digest it slowly.

He came here today just to see what else that person did for him.

Undoubtedly, this made him feel the love from him, but there was no way for him to return it.

He smiled self-deprecatingly, and then picked up the pen.

After the new emperor came to power, he opened up a new mode of governing the country, but none of the officials left by the previous dynasty was replaced. At the same time, the new emperor faced such a problem——

The Huns invaded.

The former king once sent troops to fight against the enemy, but recently heard the news that the Huns invaded again, and did not know the truth, and several generals couldn't bear it anymore.

"Your Majesty, don't slack off in the frontier, it's better to send troops to fight against the enemy as soon as possible!"

"Your Majesty, the Xiongnu are paying less and less attention to Daliang. The former king was fine, but now he is getting more and more rampant!"

The emperor was worried, he didn't know whether or when to send someone, he ran to find Sima Huan, but Sima Huan was sick in bed, at this time, he didn't know who to ask.

Coincidentally, Sima Huan told him to look for Lin Xie, the emperor rushed to find Lin Xie, and Lin Xie came out to meet him.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

The emperor frowned, and said: "Those generals urged me to send troops to fight against the Xiongnu, do you think I should send troops?"

"Naturally, troops are dispatched. Why is the emperor hesitating?"

Lin Xie knew that the emperor was indecisive, but she didn't know that she would even ask him about such matters.

"After all, have they done anything yet? Wouldn't it be too reckless for me to send troops first?"

A flash of surprise flashed in Lin Xie's eyes, then he nodded and said, "Your Majesty, if we wait until the Huns send troops, they will rush over before our people reach the frontier."

The emperor thought for a while and said, "It makes sense."

Lin Xie asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, has there been any progress in the case of the disappearance of the ten people?"

The emperor was also surprised and asked, "Isn't this matter in the hands of the prince?"

Lin Xie nodded. It seems that the emperor still doesn't know the truth.

After seeing off the emperor, Lin Xie resumed reading these letters.

It can be seen from the fact that he studied with the late king for more than ten years, this is the handwriting of the late king.

In these letters, Beixing Village and the practitioners were recorded in detail.

He frowned slightly. Could it be that such a village and people really exist?Besides, what did the previous kings study these things for?

Seeing the back, he gradually understood what these magicians did, but what attracted him the most was the description of the stone-throwing case.

The letter stated why the stone-throwing case had been shelved for three years and why the case was to be overturned. These were clearly written.

Because the real murderer couldn't be found, and the prince never wanted to touch the case, he put it on hold; because he wanted to repay his kindness, he wanted to overturn the case.

However, Lin Xie didn't understand what this repayment meant.

To repay the favor, to whom do you repay the favor?

Could it be the prince?It's not like, because the prince doesn't want to touch this case.

Then, this repayment is to others.

Then, the letter mentioned that one should maintain an awe-inspiring attitude towards that mysterious race and bring his greatest thanks.

This he refers to the former king.

Lin Xie frowned to understand that sentence:

...To this race, I want to bring my greatest gratitude...

Why bring thanks?Could it be, what does the former king have to do with this race?And, how to take it?I have never heard that the former king has been to the Western Regions.

The more Lin Xie looked at it, the more he couldn't understand it. Obviously, there must be some kind of relationship between the former king and this race, and it can be concluded that there is also some kind of relationship between the stone-throwing case and that race.

perhaps--

Even the disappearance case has something to do with it!

Lin Xie looked at the contents of the letter repeatedly, her mind spinning rapidly.

The prince said that he sent people to the Western Regions to find medicine for Yuan Qi, but he didn't need to take such a big risk, besides, if he was discovered, the late king would definitely be very upset.

He suddenly remembered one thing——

I remember that before, the late king once asked him why the prince didn't bring up the disappearance case again, and the late king replied that it was because he already knew the truth.

right!right here!

The doubts in his mind were finally resolved.

If the prisoner is really the prince, why did the former king say "I already know"?

This must be someone else from the prisoner, and the previous king must know who this prisoner is!

Lin Xie cheered up and quickly flipped through the letter, wanting to see if the late king had written the real prisoner in the letter.

Unfortunately, after searching for a long time, there was nothing he expected.

He couldn't help frowning. Besides, why did the prince say that the prisoner was him?Besides, there is no flaw at all.

Why does the prince take the blame for others?

In addition, the prince took over the case at the beginning, so he must not know who the criminal is, and he only found out about the real criminal during the process of solving the case.And the prince told himself that the prisoner was him after the king passed away, so the prisoner must be someone very close to the emperor or the prince. The previous king was unwilling to reveal this person, and the prince was even willing to take the blame for him!

The more Lin Xie thought about it, the more complicated it became.

It seems that there must be more truth hidden behind this case.
