"In the palace?"

Shen Lingyuan's expression suddenly became serious, "But have you confirmed your identity?"

Lu Xiao nodded, "This person is Concubine Hui in the palace. After your grandmother remarried with your grandfather, she remarried to a side branch of the Lu family and gave birth to a daughter. So you can call her aunt or aunt. "

Shen Lingyuan was stunned for a moment, "My grandmother remarried into my mother's clan, so there is such a thing?"

"Master Hou is very repulsive to his mother, so he didn't mention it to you."

"So that's how it is." Shen Lingyuan suddenly thought of something, frowned slightly, and whispered: "My grandmother is not an actress."

Lu Xiao's hearing is not a problem: "You know?"

Shen Lingyuan was taken aback, and denied it flatly: "No. No. I guessed it. I didn't understand why my father rejected the actor's house so much. It was obviously a big house. Even if you didn't raise actors, it could be used as a residence or warehouse. At that time I really can't think about this...!"

As Shen Lingyuan spoke, a section suddenly broke, and the wrinkles between his brows suddenly deepened.

Lu Xiao sharply: "What's wrong?"

"Ah. It's nothing." Shen Lingyuan came back to his senses, and stretched his brows, "It's also possible that I was thinking too much."

As he said that, Shen Lingyuan twisted the black jade mask hanging on his waist unnaturally twice, and changed the subject, "By the way, Brother Xiao, since she is like this, she should be considered as a member of the Lu family, so she didn't get killed by the autumn hunter." Is it implicated?"

"No." Lu Xiao shook his head and said, "She was 11 years old, and she was sent to serve in the palace after her mother died. It has been more than 30 years now, because she doesn't have a deep connection with the Lu family, and her mother's background is low, and almost no one knows that she has a relationship with the Lu family. Marquis’ relationship, that’s why he escaped.”

"And it's not one catastrophe but two catastrophes, not only the identity of the Lu family, but also the relationship with her father, no matter which one is the reason why Xingdi killed her with one knife, but she can live well now, enough See the wisdom of this concubine Hui."

After the analysis, Shen Lingyuan raised his eyes and asked Lu Xiao, "Brother Xiao. My aunt, uh, who I have never met. Did you tell me how I will contact you in the future?"

It seems that Shen Lingyuan hasn't figured out what to call this woman yet, and Lu Xiao didn't force it, and explained calmly: "Every three days, there will be a eunuch selling the clothes of the palace ladies in Mufeng Pavilion. Send someone to guard in advance at [-]:[-] a.m. and buy all the fabrics with magnolia flowers embroidered on the lower left corner."

"Is there any risk in doing this?"

"Barely not. She embroidered the information on at least three fabrics, all using dyed threads that would disappear after being wetted. Just make an appointment with the same style."

"So, temporarily, but it's not a long-term solution. Now Emperor Xing and his elite have left the new mansion. The empress has just died, and the city is in chaos. This gave her a chance to contact us. If it is Emperor Xing's men With all the experts gathered together, there is no guarantee that she will not be discovered."

Shen Lingyuan has already met Hanyue, the female leader of Yelin, and the person who once shot crossbows and arrows a hundred meters away should not be underestimated. Shen Lingyuan is unwilling to put her in danger even if she is a relative.

"So, when we get hold of Old Wu's track, don't let her contact us again."

Lu Xiao nodded in agreement, "At that time, I will find a way and tell her."

"That's good."

When Lu Xiao was speaking, he had already opened the envelope. After reading it, he handed the letter paper to Shen Lingyuan. Shen Lingyuan took a closer look, and there were nine big characters written on it.

The enemy of the enemy is the friend.

One more word, wait.

In the following time, Shen Lingyuan waited for news from the aunt in the palace whom he had never met, while 'taking care' of Shen Yanqing in every detail. Of course, people usually went in with cakes, left the cakes, and people came out.

Once Wuxing really couldn't stand it anymore, and once again talked to Lu Xiao, who was beside him, "Does the prince like to torture himself?"

"Pain and be happy."

Lu Xiao's answer is always so capable, making the invisible corner of his mouth twitch.

Of course, Shen Lingyuan is not so idle now, after all, he was inadvertently awarded the post of Commander of the City Patrol Division. He is not as idle as Shen Yanqing, but rather dedicated.

However, in just two days, all the nails that Prince Rui buried in the City Patrol Division were pulled out, naturally including the elder brother who once delivered messages to Lai Fu and others at the gate of the city, and successfully sent him into the team of exile. .

In the past two days, the entire Xinxia City was also very uneasy. On the second day, Emperor Xing sent a message from Baixiu Villa, saying that the ancestor had appeared again, and he wanted Emperor Xing to share this piece of meat with the ancestor. The implication was: Before the autumn hunting, Lao Tzu will not come back.

The king of a country is so willful, the public anger that had just been suppressed was aroused again, to the point that the battered prince had to lead the imperial army to transfer Prince Rui from the mansion to the prison.

One is to calm down the anger of the people temporarily, as to whether there is an element of protecting Prince Rui in it, it is unknown.

The first three days passed quickly, but there was no news from the palace, Shen Lingyuan was not in a hurry, and continued to dawdle in the patrol department, and returned to the mansion to rely on Shen Yanqing's side until another third day came .

These three days were fairly peaceful, and the only episode was probably that the female leader who had been so energetic in front of him—Han Yue, returned to Xinxia alone on the fifth day with a black horse.

On the second day after Han Yue returned, Shen Lingyuan finally received the second message from the palace.

A waning moon.

There is one more location.

Taohuawu.

Shen Lingyuan closed the envelope, rolled his eyes, and showed a smile, "I didn't expect that they all rushed together in the end."

In the 16th year of Wuzhen, in the middle of October, according to historical records, this day was the day when Beili's envoy returned to the country, and Prince Donglin Rong Cong sent him off.

However, who can know the undercurrent surging hidden under just a dozen words?

Shen Lingyuan set off today half an hour earlier than the time agreed with Zhuo Jiaxue. As soon as he arrived at Taohuawu, he saw a slim figure wearing a bamboo hat drinking a pot of sake slowly in front of a deserted wine stand.

It seems that the news from the palace is correct.

Shen Lingyuan skillfully handed the horse to the waiter, and the shopkeeper habitually stepped forward and asked, "Do you want to come in or outside? Do you want tea or wine?"

Shen Lingyuan pointed to the woman wearing the bamboo hat and replied, "I will share the table with him."

After finishing speaking, he stepped forward with his long legs, flicked the hem of his clothes, and sat upright opposite the figure, not looking out at all.

The woman raised her head slightly, and said in a very dissatisfied tone, "There are so many empty seats in this tavern, why does the young master insist on sitting next to me?"

Shen Lingyuan took the wine glass handed over by Xiao Er, turned it around with three fingers, and then turned his head to look at the woman, "The tavern is so deserted, the girl has no interest in drinking with me?"

As Shen Lingyuan said, he stretched out a hand to grab the wine pot, but before his fingertips touched the handle, he was stopped by a hand knife.

Shen Lingyuan twitched the corner of his mouth, reached out again, and the man chopped again.

When the two of you blocked me, they pushed and refused happily, but the store opened early in the morning, and saw that its poor little square table was about to collapse.

Fortunately, the two stopped their movements a second before the square table couldn't hold on.

This battle was quite familiar, the woman had already recognized Shen Lingyuan, and she spoke first, "Commander Lu didn't stay in Xinxia to look at the city gate, what did he come to Taohuawu early in the morning?"

Shen Lingyuan was neither humble nor overbearing: "Send a friend."

The woman smiled disdainfully: "Send it to a friend? Do you think I will believe your nonsense?"

Shen Lingyuan smiled slightly, and cupped his hands: "Tell me the truth, believe it or not, Commander Han decides."

Hanyue squinted her eyes and looked at Shen Lingyuan carefully, but it was a pity that this person was wearing a mask, and Shen Lingyuan's authenticity could not be seen under the pure black mask, so she could only continue to test: "If you sincerely send Beili Why didn't that girl just go to the city gate to see her off, and why did she run to Taohuawu, which is twenty miles away!"

Shen Lingyuan leaned on the table with his elbows, and lazily replied: "Then I would like to ask Commander Han what he is going to do in Taohuawu, which is more than a hundred miles away from Baixiu Villa, if he is not guarding Emperor Xing's side?"

"Slick tongue! I don't think you have any good intentions! Look at the trick!"

The two disagreed and started working again. Fortunately, this time Shen Lingyuan twirled and jumped to an open space outside. The two fought back and forth a few times, evenly matched.

If Shen Lingyuan just came back, he would never dare to fight Hanyue like this, firstly, he didn't want to show his strength so early, and secondly, Hanyue's strength was unknown, Shen Lingyuan was not sure whether he could beat her.

But since Shen Lingyuan received the news from Concubine Hui yesterday, he took the initiative to mention Han Yue to Lu Xiao, and thus learned a secret from Lu Xiao.

It turns out that the imagination of the names of Xingdi's Yelin and Changxinghou's Yeqi is not a coincidence, but the two have the same origin. When combined together, they are the once famous Xiaoqiying Yeqilin, and Xingdi finally relied on this big killer. Ascended the throne of Emperor Lin.

But later, because of the differences between the monarch and his ministers, Ye Qilin split into two major organizations, Ye Lin and Ye Qilin.

Among them, the six commanders who followed Xingdi either fell or disappeared in the battle between Donglin and Su, almost the final victory in exchange for the annihilation of the entire army, and now Ye Qilin is actually only an old man left, Lu Xiao, who is full of Ye Qilin. There are many newcomers, but Ye Lin has completely changed his blood.

This Hanyue is a descendant of one of the former six commanders, she should not be older than Shen Lingyuan, and if Lu Xiao remembers correctly, her father should be the one who led the scout army among the former seven commanders.

In Lu Xiao's words, lightness kung fu is good and martial arts is useless. If it's really about going it alone, he dares to say that Han Yue can't beat Shen Lingyuan.

The fact is also the same, but after a while, Shen Lingyuan has faintly gained the upper hand, but he is unwilling to show his strength too much. After finding out the details of Hanyue, he starts to sell his flaws frequently, but he can always avoid Hanyue's attacks as if he was resurrected. fatal attack.

Shen Lingyuan did this just to delay time.

But after a while, the convoy escorting Zhuo Jiaxue showed up as he wished. Han Yue wanted to get away immediately, but Shen Lingyuan grabbed her wrist and dragged her to the ground.

Shen Lingyuan smiled brightly: "Don't be in a hurry, Commander Han, it's so easy to meet again, I have to introduce my friend to you no matter what."
