On the second day, Shen Lingyuan woke up in the soft sunlight. He shook his dizzy head from the double oppression of alcohol and sweat medicine.

The scenes that followed last night reappeared in his mind.

Shen Lingyuan never thought that he would be defeated by a pot of flowers in the end, he held his forehead, feeling a little annoyed.

In fact, Shen Lingyuan was already careful enough, he knew that Shen Yanqing not only possessed amazing recovery ability, but also grew up soaked in medicinal baths, and was almost invulnerable to all poisons.

Therefore, apart from Shen Lingyuan coming to Qing'an Hall every day to deliver meals and Shen Yanqing's bath time, only when Shen Yanqing is unable to resist, or when he absolutely has no free time to prepare, will he stretch out his eager wolf claws, and the rest of the time will be kept with Shen Yanqing. at a relatively safe distance.

But what Shen Lingyuan didn't know was that the poisons in this world were all kinds of strange things, and the ways of poisoning in this world were all-pervasive. Shen Yanqing didn't need to be close to him at all, as long as he wanted, a pot of Cymbidium flowers dusted with sweat medicine would be enough.

Shen Lingyuan got up from the bed with a numb face, and came to the window, the rising sun became more and more dazzling.

At this hour, it must be impossible to stop.

The autumn hunt, which has been delayed for a long time, has finally arrived.

When Shen Lingyuan drove his horse to the main street, the traveling phalanx had already filed out from the palace, accompanied by princes and ministers from all walks of life, and the patrol officers on both sides maintained order.

Because this is an activity handed down from the ancestors, even if Shen Lingyuan is not around, at this solemn moment, no one in the City Patrol Division would dare to drop the chain.

It's just that I don't know how Shen Yanqing explained the reason for his absence during the previous ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.

Lin Kingdom's annual Mucheng autumn hunting is usually held at the end of August or early September, but this year it can be said that it has been delayed for two full months, and whether it is from the perspective of public opinion or the state of the ministers From the looks of it, they all lost their vitality because of several major events that happened in succession.

Take the Ministry of Rites, for example. This year, except for a few young and strong guys who accompanied them, most of them resigned to stay in Beijing for training.

Of course, no matter what happens, as long as the sky doesn't fall, those second-generation ancestors who don't care about things and just love to have fun will not be delayed to join in the fun.

Once a year, the gates of Dongyin and Dongyang are opened together, and the forbidden army is in front of the formation, followed by these juniors who are fledgling and ignorant of the world. Many of them are participating in the autumn hunting for the first time. Yangyang even saw the people watching, straightened his back, waved his hands left and right, his appearance was even more ostentatious than the returning general, and he couldn't see the people whispering and pointing at them at all.

It wasn't until some experienced elders couldn't stand it anymore that they beat the horse faster, and coughed a few times when they came to a few juniors, and those juniors restrained a little.

But even so, the elders still frowned tightly.

Because most of these ignorant juniors are descendants of Qian Guogong, that is to say, Empress Qian who just passed away is also their elders. The current situation of the government has to be worrying.

Although it seems to outsiders that after the death of Empress Qian, Qian Aoxuan's status as Duke of the Township has not been shaken, but has been improved, especially Xingdi specially allowed that all the young men and their family members who have reached the weak crown in Qian's mansion can Participate in fall hunting.

At the same time, because the crown prince was going to Mucheng Temple to pray for his grandson this year, the important task of township fell to Qian Aoxuan, the township duke.

You must know that every autumn hunting is the time when Xinxia's defenses are the most empty. There are less than 3 troops left behind in the city. Even the assassins of the rivers and lakes can easily seize power, let alone the Duke of Zhen who holds a heavy army in the southern border.

No matter who looked at it, it seemed like infinite trust and honor on the surface.

But anyone who understands inside knows that this is another form of threat.

Enclosing all the descendants of the Qian family in Mucheng, a child who lost the protection of his ancestors is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. As long as anything happens to any of the parties, his Qian family will not be able to escape the catastrophe.

Shen Lingyuan rode on a horse and watched this scene quietly, wondering if that old man who was almost seventy years old was kneeling in front of Qian's Taimiao with tears in his eyes, gathering all kinds of regrets in his heart.

But now when he wanted to resist again, no one could lend him a helping hand.

After a brief handover with his subordinates, Shen Lingyuan has been guarding Dongyangmen's side, but it's a pity that Shen Yanqing must have switched positions with some official on purpose. The purpose, of course, is to guard against him.

Although Shen Lingyuan was well aware of this, when he saw that Shen Yanqing's position had changed, his expression became more and more gloomy.

If it wasn't for Shen Lingyuan's reason to stay in Xinxia, ​​he would probably have the heart to rush out now.

Seeing the commander's murderous aura, the subordinates who came to ask for instructions tried to be cautious, "Commander, His Majesty's carriage has passed, me, what should we do now..."

Shen Lingyuan sat on the horse with his back straightened, only his eyes glanced at the subordinate at a very tricky angle, "What to do, what to do."

After finishing speaking, Shen Lingyuan waved the reins of the horses and said to one of the small teams, "Follow me to patrol the city, and the rest of you will continue to stay and close the city gate in time after the team leaves."

After finishing speaking, Shen Lingyuan had already taken a step ahead and galloped towards the west of the city.

Here, Shen Lingyuan wished he could kill the traitor and run towards Mucheng immediately, while on the other side, Hanyue bid farewell to Concubine Hui with a runny nose on her front foot, and changed into a civilian outfit in seconds on her back foot, with a dagger attached to her waist, and slipped quietly After leaving the palace, Da Ma came to a clothing bureau in the west of the city.

According to the clues given to her by Shen Lingyuan, the roster of the old Ministry of Changxing that Lao Wu had been looking for for a long time is now in this tailor shop. Concubine Hui got together, and she could regain her leadership status with the first effort.

At that time, how to deal with Old Wu will be a matter of her words.

And Hanyue also heard that Leng Ye will go to Mucheng this time, thinking of being able to reunite with her brother, Hanyue rubbed her hands, feeling a little impatient.

At this time, most of the nearby residents went to the main street to watch, and Lu Hui was covering the city patrol, so Hanyue thought that now was the best time to sneak in.

But in the end, Hanyue was still very cautious after performing a lot of tasks.

She first walked around the shop. According to the informant, the tailor shop has been closed for a long time due to poor management, and there should be no one living there.

Sure enough, Hanyue looked carefully at every corner, and found that the door and window frames were covered with dust.

After confirming her safety, Hanyue had no more worries.She chose a relatively loose window, pried open a corner of the window three times, and then removed the entire window, and jumped into the house by herself.

The structure of this tailor's shop is very simple. The first floor is divided into two parts. The small part facing the plaque and the main entrance is the storefront, which is the place where the shopkeeper receives customers, and the space behind the storefront is almost three times as large. Tables and huge looms.

There are still unfinished patterns on some desks.

And on the first floor there is a half attic, which should be the resting place for embroiderers.

If an ordinary person came here to look for something, the first reaction would be to go to the second floor and look through the rooms one by one, but Hanyue did the opposite. Her experience as a spy for many years led her directly to the weaving room behind the store.

Although this place looks big, but Hanyue observes from the outside, this floor is bigger than what it actually shows in front of her eyes.

In other words, there must be a secret room here.

She knocked on the case table, and groped on the wall for a while. When she was at a loss, there were sparse noises from upstairs. Hanyue listened carefully, and she could probably hear that the tiles were lifted. the sound of.

Hanyue rolled her eyes halfway, and immediately hid behind a desk, pricked up her ears and continued to listen.

But while panting, the tiles shattered, and with a bang, something fell to the ground, followed by the sound of steady footsteps slowly approaching.

It seems that this dilapidated tailor shop is very lively today.

The man stayed for a short time after entering the space where Hanyue was. He should be observing the whole room, and then, like Hanyue, he carefully knocked on every desk here.

Han Yue, who was hiding in the gap, shrank herself as much as possible in the gap between the wall and the desk, held her breath, and took advantage of the reflection of the dagger, when the person walked in slowly, then approached, and turned her head suddenly.

Hanyue's heart trembled, she thought that she could observe the other party's actions through the dagger, but forgot that an inexplicable ray of light in this dark room could also attract the other party's attention.

The two found each other almost at the same time, and waved their weapons at the same time, the dagger and machete clanged in the air, the breath in Hanyue's chest rippling instantly, a fishy sweetness welled up in his mouth, this person's internal strength was superior to hers.

After the blow, Han Yue half-kneeled on the ground, but the man did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but put away the scimitar, and stood in front of Han Yue with a T-shaped step, watching her for a while.

"I thought Commander Han's lack of movement in recent days was a lesson learned. I didn't expect you to still not repent and want to take my credit."

Hanyue was stunned when she heard that person's voice, and then her pretty face turned gloomy. She thought it was some gangster, but she didn't expect it to be Wu Hao, her deadly enemy. Bringing people to search, now it seems that they are just bluffing me!"

"It's true that I will send people over after a while. Today I just came here to find out the bottom line. I didn't expect to have unexpected gains. Commander Han should know the consequences of disobedient scouts!"

"Hmph! That's a beautiful big talk! I'd like to see how you will explain to His Majesty after I find the roster first!"

Hanyue said softly, put her left palm on the ground, her soft waist brought up her slender legs, and her feet cut Wu Hao's fragile neck like scissors.

Old Wu has rich experience in actual combat, and he doesn't pay attention to a girl who is not well-versed in the world. This seemingly sharp blow, he just turned sideways, grabbed Han Yue's ankle, and swung the whole person up. Seeing Han Yue She was about to fall, but the woman suddenly folded her body from the waist, spit out something from her mouth, and went straight to Old Wu's face.

Old Wu cherished his life very much, and immediately let go of his hand to avoid the fast-moving ball, while Han Yue took advantage of this time to turn over lightly and land on the desk in the distance.

Old Wu frowned and looked at the puddle of liquid on the ground, where there was a new type of hidden weapon, it was clearly a mouthful of blood accumulated in his chest.

The girl actually used him to expel blood stasis. Old Wu was so angry that he turned around suddenly, only to find that Han Yue had already found the dark room mechanism. The stone door was now open and was about to close, and Han Yue inside was even making faces at him. .

The anger on Old Wu's face became more and more intense, and the veins on his forehead popped up. He kicked back with his left foot, his thick thigh exerted force instantly, and flew out like an arrow off the string.

Hanyue's grimace also instantly turned into a white face. She grasped the stone wall with both hands to speed up the rotation, but unfortunately the slow stone wall was still a step too late, and was cut open by Old Wu's scimitar the moment it was about to close.
