The general said she doesn't take a wife
Chapter 31
Lin Aoxue and Yunyan were busy decorating Yunyan's small house, adding a bit of color to the originally cold courtyard. Lin Aoxue took a pen and paper, wrote a big blessing in hand, and pasted it upside down on the door of the house, looking at it from a distance. , It is indeed a bit more festive atmosphere.
Yun Yan was on the side to help, and the two of them ran around the courtyard for several times, and finally got the house in order, and it was already past noon.Yun Yan realized that it was past noon, worried that Lin Aoxue was hungry, so she said she was going to get some food, but there was no food in the house, and she forgot to buy some when she went to the market in the morning.
Lin Aoxue felt that it would be too troublesome to go to the market to buy ingredients now, so she suggested going directly to a nearby restaurant to eat something.Yun Yan did not insist on her own opinion, and readily agreed to go to the restaurant outside the street with Lin Aoxue:
"There are indeed a few good small restaurants facing the street."
Yun Yan took Lin Aoxue out, and the two came to the street talking and laughing all the way, found a small restaurant that looked quite clean and tidy, sat down and ordered two random dishes, Lin Aoxue took a sip, and clicked twice:
"This dish is good, but it's worse than the cooks in our camp."
Hearing this, Yun Yan laughed at her:
“How come you see?”
Lin Aoxue said that the food she had during her confinement period was very delicious, and then she changed the cook somehow, and even the taste of the food was not as good as before.
The smile on Yunyan's face deepened a bit, but she didn't answer Lin Aoxue's words, and only said:
"That's really a pity."
While eating, Lin Aoxue secretly glanced at Yunyan with sideways eyes, but Yunyan didn't make any changes at all. Lin Aoxue secretly laughed in her heart, and she didn't know how long Yunyan wanted to hide this matter from her.
After finishing their meal, they came out of the restaurant and walked slowly along the street to digest their food.Suddenly a servant from Yanyu Tower came looking for him, and asked Yunyan to go to Yanyu Tower in the afternoon. Yunyan had no choice but to take advantage of the New Year's Eve to take a good rest for two days, but there were some things in the building that required her to handle them.
Lin Aoxue expressed her understanding, and then sent Yunyan to the intersection outside the Yanyu Building. The two said goodbye at the intersection. Lin Aoxue watched Yunyan walk away, went upstairs, turned around herself, and wanted to go back to the inn.
But as soon as she passed the corner of the street, an arm suddenly protruded from the alley beside her, blocking Lin Aoxue two steps away, blocking her way.
Lin Aoxue looked up, and saw a masked man in black.
"Lin Qianhu, the prince has an invitation."
This person's voice was hoarse and obscure, Lin Aoxue raised her eyebrows unexpectedly, and looked at that person in surprise, she instinctively judged that this person's martial arts should be good, and guessed in her heart which prince he was talking about.
Even though she was thinking about it in her heart, she didn't show any resistance and spoke calmly:
"Your Excellency, please lead the way."
Hearing Lin Aoxue's words, the visitor was a little surprised, he did not expect Lin Aoxue to be so calm.He snorted and laughed, turned around and disappeared into the alley.Lin Aoxue's eyes froze, this person's lightness kung fu is good, but with a dodge, he was already ten steps away.
The corners of Lin Aoxue's lips curled up, showing a sense of competitiveness. This person is not bad, but her own lightness kung fu is not bad either. Immediately she made a wrong step and quickly followed her.
The man in black always takes the secret path, avoiding the noisy crowd, and easily loses the sight of the people behind him.Lin Aoxue saw that he was trying to make things difficult, and walked around the East Street of the capital twice, but did not rush to the destination.
She snorted coldly in her heart, not to be outdone, always followed behind leisurely, seeing that the man couldn't get rid of Lin Aoxue, he didn't waste any more time, turned around and continued speeding.
Seeing his sudden change of direction, Lin Aoxue couldn't help but narrow her eyes slightly, thoughtfully.After a while, the two arrived at the Prince Zong's Mansion, and a magnificent silhouette appeared in their field of vision. Seeing that Lin Aoxue was still following, the man in black showed a satisfied smile in his eyes.
He led Lin Aoxue to jump into the palace from the backyard wall. Lin Aoxue followed suit, and the two quietly entered the palace and walked to Bei Chenhe's study.
The man in black jumped down from the beam and knocked on the wooden window of the study with the previously agreed rhythm. When there was a soft click inside the window, the man in black turned his head and waved to Lin Aoxue. Lin Aoxue leaned over, and the man in black lightly Gently pushing open the window, the two climbed into the house along the window.
As soon as he landed on the ground, the man in black knelt down on one knee, and congratulated Bei Chen who was flipping through the books behind the table, "Your Majesty".
Bei Chenhe glanced at Lin Aoxue who was also kneeling respectfully after the man in black entered the room, nodded indistinctly, and said with a smile:
"Brother Lin is the king's choice, Xiao Mo, what do you think?"
The man in black who was called Xiao Mo bowed his head and replied respectfully:
"The prince's eyes have always been vicious, and his subordinates are convinced."
Bei Chenhe laughed, got up and walked to Xiao Mo's side, patted his shoulder, and said:
"You don't see that little brother Lin is not very old, but his kung fu is rare, you can rest assured to heal your wounds!"
Xiao Mo lowered his head and did not refute.Lin Aoxue was a little surprised, she glanced at Xiao Mo, thinking about what Bei Chenhe said just now.
Xiao Mo was injured, she did feel that Xiao Mo was short of breath when she came, it seemed that he had suffered an internal injury, a person with an injury can still make light work so superb, it shows that this person is really powerful.
Bei Chenhe waved his hand and told Xiao Mo to get up and stand aside. Although Lin Aoxue was a little puzzled by the charades of Bei Chenhe and Xiao Mo, she could roughly hear the meaning of their words. She guessed that it was Xiao Mo had some doubts about her strength, so when Beichen Hexun came over, he tried to test her out.
After comforting Xiao Mo, Bei Chenhe looked at Lin Aoxue again, smiled and said:
"Brother Lin, get up first."
Lin Aoxue stood up as she said, while Bei Chenhe sat down after returning to the table, holding a piece of jade pendant in his hand to play with, and asked Lin Aoxue aloud at the same time:
"Aren't you curious about why this king asked you to come here?"
Hearing this, Lin Aoxue remained calm and answered honestly:
"I think that if the prince thinks it is necessary, he will tell me the reason. If the prince thinks it is not necessary, I will not be curious."
Bei Chenhe squinted his eyes, nodded and said with a smile:
"You are very smart."
Lin Aoxue stopped talking, Bei Chenhe said again:
"Do you still remember the actor who assassinated in the palace last night?"
Bei Chenhe changed the subject and suddenly brought up the incident of the assassination last night. Lin Aoxue naturally remembered the actor who hurt someone. She was also hurt by that man with a hairpin:
"I remember next time."
"The troupe who came to the Wangfu to set up the stage last night were all detained in the Wangfu, but in the middle of the night, someone broke into the Wangfu at night, injured all the guards, and rescued one person."
Bei Chenhe didn't make any more detours with Lin Aoxue, his face darkened, and he told the main reason for looking for Lin Aoxue today:
"This person must know a lot of secrets. However, although the hidden guards under the king have traced the approximate whereabouts of this person, they are not sure to capture him directly. Now it is the time of the year, and His Majesty is watching the movement in Beijing very closely. Wang wants to thoroughly investigate this matter, but he must not send too many people."
He needs to make as little noise as possible, so there are not many people who can take action, and it is best not to send people from the palace. In this case, he needs someone with strong martial arts to complete this matter for him.
Originally he wanted to send Xiao Mo to take action, but Xiao Mo was injured while carrying out a mission, and his internal injuries were not fully healed, so Bei Chenhe thought of Lin Aoxue.
Lin Aoxue resolutely rescued her last night and blocked the actor's assassination, so she was not considered a sideline. At the same time, this was also an opportunity Bei Chenhe gave her to show her loyalty.
After Bei Chenhe finished speaking, he looked at Lin Aoxue with a smile, his eyes were very peaceful and kind, as if he had no intention of persecuting Lin Aoxue at all.Lin Aoxue thought about it in her heart and understood the interests of this matter. She immediately knelt down on one knee, bowed her head and said:
"I will do my best."
Bei Chenhe smiled with satisfaction, he signaled Lin Aoxue to get up, and then ordered:
"You go to the alleys of the West Market to find a man named Cai Quan."
Lin Aoxue bowed and left. Just like when she came, she didn't go through the main entrance, but turned out through the hidden courtyard wall in the backyard of the palace.After leaving the palace, Lin Aoxue went to the West Market as promised. She found a dark and remote alley according to the news Bei Chenhe gave her.
The alley was very deep, and even in daytime, the light was very dim. Lin Aoxue made sure that she was in the right place, so she walked into the alley with a sullen face.In the depths of the alley, a sloppy beggar lay down in a corner and fell asleep, with several tattered wine jars poured beside him.
When Lin Aoxue approached, the beggar suddenly opened his eyes, and the next moment he struck out swiftly, neatly pinching Lin Aoxue's throat.Lin Aoxue reacted quickly, almost at the same time the beggar made a move, she floated back.
The beggar missed a move, and immediately changed his move, stepped on his foot, and bullied himself again. This time, he stretched out two fingers and pierced Lin Aoxue's eyes fiercely.Lin Aoxue still didn't change her face, she only took two steps back, and then stopped.
Seeing that the beggar's fierce move was about to come, Lin Aoxue's eyes flashed a gloomy coldness. She pointed at the beggar's wrist from the bottom to the top, and touched the beggar's wrist. With a soft pop, the beggar Eat pain, slow down your moves.
Lin Aoxue twisted the beggar's arm with her backhand, trying to snatch him back, but the beggar was also a man who had experienced many battles, and suddenly fell down, and the arm caught by Lin Aoxue shook violently, swinging away Lin Aoxue's five fingers, and easily escaped .
Lin Aoxue was aroused by this person's strange martial arts skills, and fought against him more seriously. Although it was only in a dark alley, there was not even the slightest abnormal sound between them.
After dozens of tricks, both sides won or lost, but Lin Aoxue's skills were more profound. After a hundred moves, Lin Aoxue quickly broke through the beggar's defense, and stretched out her two fingers like lightning, precisely on the beggar's acupuncture points.
But at this time, the fist that the beggar hit was only a mere punch away from Lin Aoxue's shoulder.
"Hey, little brother, your martial arts are pretty good."
The winner was already decided, the beggar smiled heartily, and immediately his body shook, under Lin Aoxue's slightly shocked eyes, he untied the sealed acupuncture points in an instant.Lin Aoxue was secretly surprised, Xiao Mo's lightness kung fu before, and the acupoint-relieving technique of the person in front of her at this moment, are not something ordinary people can do.
It can be seen that Bei Chenhe's subordinates have many talented people.
"Why didn't Xiao Mo come?"
The beggar relaxed his shoulders and turned to ask Lin Aoxue.Lin Aoxue frowned, and didn't immediately answer the person's words. Seeing that Lin Aoxue didn't answer, the beggar first rubbed his head in confusion, then seemed to remember something, patted his forehead, and said:
"My name is Cai Quan, what's your name, little brother?"
It turned out that this person was Cai Quan.
Lin Aoxue remained motionless, and replied coldly:
"Lin Aoxue, Xiao Mo's old injury has not healed, so the prince sent me here."
As she spoke, she also took out a white wordless jade tablet from her bosom.Cai Quan glanced at the sign, didn't ask any more questions, and instead smiled:
"Come with me little brother."
After Cai Quan finished speaking, he turned around and left, climbing over the low wall at the end of the alley.Lin Aoxue was tried again in martial arts, but she didn't show annoyance at all, she got Cai Quan's approval, she didn't delay in place, and followed closely over the wall.
Lin Aoxue followed Cai Quanquan and walked through the alley turning left and right. The road was extremely complicated. If Lin Aoxue hadn't had a good memory and could remember every time she walked, she would probably get lost.
After a while, the surrounding environment became noisy, Cai Quan stopped in an alley, Lin Aoxue looked out from the alley, his eyes fixed.
This is the slums of West City.
The slums are very messy, there are all kinds of people, in addition to the poor slaves, there are also vicious thieves, maybe in some unknown corner, there are fugitives full of crimes hiding.The master who intercepted people from the palace must have fled here because of the mixed environment of the slums.
Cai Quan also hid behind the wall and looked out, and then said to Lin Aoxue:
"My mission is complete, just wait here for a while, and someone will come to meet you."
After he finished speaking, he didn't stay for long, turned around and left.
Lin Aoxue waited quietly in the alley for a while, when there was a sound of wind behind her, she raised her hand to grab the wrist of the visitor precisely, and their eyes met accurately in the darkness.
"follow me."
The person came in black and covered his face. He glanced at the wrist pinched by Lin Aoxue, and the light in his eyes was calm.Lin Aoxue let go of her hand, and silently followed this person to move again.
Looking at the leopard, Lin Aoxue has only touched the tip of the iceberg of power in Bei Chenhe's hands. There are so many capable people and strangers who are used by him. They have a clear division of labor and shallow connections with each other. It is difficult to uproot them.
Bringing down Bei Chenhe is definitely not something that will happen overnight.
Even if she tried everything possible in this life, blocking her life and losing years and years, it is still unknown who will win in the end.
The masked man brought Lin Aoxue outside the dilapidated courtyard wall, and then spoke to Lin Aoxue about the current situation:
"This person rescued a person from the palace last night, but when he fled, the actor was seriously injured. Since this person tried his best to save the person, he probably tried his best to save the actor's life, so they will definitely meet at the latest tonight. Get out of hiding."
Lin Aoxue's face was solemn, and she glanced at a row of low houses not far away. The masked man told her that he and another person had tracked here yesterday, and it was only certain that the person had fled into this area with others, but Because his martial arts are slightly inferior, he may not be able to capture him alive, so he can only wait outside.
At the same time, they were not sure which room the man hid in. If they rushed in and searched, it was very likely that the man would take the opportunity to escape completely.
The task entrusted to Lin Aoxue by the masked man is to let her pay attention to the movement of everyone in the row of low rooms, and once she finds the target, she will go forward and lead the rescuer away. As for the masked man himself, he will He will cooperate with Lin Aoxue's actions to snatch the robbed actor.
Lin Aoxue waited at the designated location as promised, carefully observing the pedestrians coming and going outside the low house.
In order to get away from the masked man's eyeliner, those two people will definitely disguise themselves, look for opportunities, and try not to let people notice the strangeness as much as possible, but the breath and footsteps of the injured person are very different from ordinary people, and people who know martial arts will mix into the crowd It is also easy to distinguish, which makes them dare not rush out.
Lin Aoxue's patience was excellent, she waited in the corner for half a day without a single complaint, while the masked man hiding in another direction observed the situation in the low room, he would also pay attention to Lin Aoxue's situation, but Lin Aoxue He never showed any anxiety, which made him gradually relax.
The sky was getting darker and darker, more and more people were coming and going to and from the slums, and there were many people outside the alley. Lin Aoxue focused her attention and calmly observed every move of the people in the low house.
The sun was not long in winter, another hour passed, and the night was already extremely deep. At a certain moment, Lin Aoxue's eyes flashed brightly, and her figure turned into a sharp arrow, and she shot out from the alley.
But I saw a figure limping out of a room, his breath was heavy, as if he had drunk alcohol, but his face was covered with a thick coarse cloth, blocking his face, he seemed to be normal Walking outside the street, taking a step forward, I suddenly heard a crisp sound of breaking through the air from behind my head.
He paused, subconsciously shook his body, Lin Aoxue's palm brushed against his ear.
A ferocious light burst out of this person's eyes, he flipped his wrist, took a dagger in his hand, turned his defense into an attack, and slashed towards Lin Aoxue's throat.Lin Aoxue responded calmly, saw every move, and when the dagger was approaching, a sharp weapon slipped out of her cuff, and with a crisp ding, it blocked the drunk man's dagger.
While Lin Aoxue was fighting this person, the two masked men who performed the task together with Lin Aoxue also found the trace of the actor. They slid down the rock wall, trying to get into the house to arrest him.
The drunk man was shocked and wanted to turn around to rescue him, but Lin Aoxue took the initiative to stop him at this moment, and did not allow him to go to help.In desperation, the drunk's moves became more and more violent, and an extremely powerful offensive broke out, even putting Lin Aoxue at a disadvantage.
Lin Aoxue was astonished, this was the first time since she came down from the mountain, she encountered a master who could put her at a disadvantage in martial arts!
This drunk man not only moved extremely fast, but also had extremely strong internal strength. He forced Lin Aoxue back with a palm, Lin Aoxue's eyes were stern, insisting that he was not allowed to go, he turned around and cut off the sleeve of Lin Aoxue's left arm.
Suddenly, the drunk man was shaken all over and stopped walking. He stared at Lin Aoxue's left arm, his eyes were red and bloodshot.
Although Lin Aoxue was puzzled, she didn't dare to be negligent, and continued to make moves, trying to capture this person.
But at this moment, the drunk suddenly raised his head, looked at Lin Aoxue blankly, lowered his voice, and called out hoarsely:
"Cher."
There was some uncertainty in his voice, but the dagger Lin Aoxue swung seemed to be pulled by a force in the air, making her unable to strike again.
The rough cloth on the man's face drooped, revealing a rough and resolute face. Seeing Lin Aoxue froze, he suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Lin Aoxue's arm, and cut an old knife wound about two inches long on her left forearm. exposed.
"You must be right, you are Xue'er, you really are not dead!"
He became agitated, his eyes glowed with excitement, Lin Aoxue withdrew her hand forcefully, and took two steps back, she didn't dare to speak, but she didn't know how to do it.
The situation in front of her exceeded her expectations, and she suddenly lost her sense of proportion.
Lin Aoxue recognized this person from her father's old department. His name was Sui Liang. He was skilled in martial arts. He had taught her martial arts when she was young. The old injury on her left arm was when she was 15 years old. She insisted on learning martial arts. The kung fu of ordering a three-legged cat is to go out to fight for justice, but in the end, he was accidentally scratched when fighting with others.
The people who knew about this, apart from her parents, were Sui Liang who came to rescue her and bandaged her wound with his own hands.
Lin Aoxue did not expect that she would meet her father's old department here, let alone that the assassination of Bei Chenhe by the clan prince's residence was related to her father's old department, and she even asked Sui Ling to recognize her identity!
Reality pushed Lin Aoxue into an extremely difficult situation, and she didn't know how to deal with the current situation.If Sui Liang is let go, then she will definitely lose Bei Chenhe's trust, but if she goes all out to capture Sui Liang, how can she be worthy of her own conscience, and how can she be worthy of her dead parents?
During the time when she was silent, Sui Liang had confirmed Lin Aoxue's identity, his eyes were bloodshot and tears filled his eyes.
Sui Liang wanted to say something, but was awakened by the sudden screams from behind. Bei Chenhe's masked man had already captured the actor who fled earlier, and now he drew his hand to help Lin Aoxue.Time was running out, Sui Liang should have taken advantage of this opportunity to escape, but after taking a deep look at Lin Aoxue, he suddenly shot at Lin Aoxue.
Lin Aoxue frowned, and subconsciously fought back, but she didn't make a killing move. She swung the dagger forward in her hand, just wanting to block Sui Liang's attacking dagger, but unexpectedly at this moment, Sui Liang He took the initiative to withdraw the move, and then under Lin Aoxue's shocked gaze, he rushed over and met the sharp blade in Lin Aoxue's hand with his chest.
Lin Aoxue was stunned by the shock, her expression was dull, the blade penetrated into her body, and pierced into Sui Liang's chest without fancy, Lin Aoxue's hands were trembling, hot blood splashed on her hands, making her eyes widen in shock , whispered in a trembling voice:
"Uncle Mu..."
Hearing Lin Aoxue's voice, Sui Liang let out a chuckle, but when he smiled, hot blood slid down the corner of his mouth.He sighed in relief, then raised his hand with difficulty, and lightly scratched the wound on Lin Aoxue's left forearm, covering up the old scar with a new wound.
The dagger in his hand fell to the ground with a loud clang.The masked man was still approaching quickly, Sui Liang leaned his head close to Lin Aoxue, and whispered something in her ear, and then he suddenly went crazy and pushed Lin Aoxue hard.
White knives went in and red knives came out, the blood-stained dagger escaped from Sui Liang's chest, he staggered back, and was slashed on the back with all his strength by the masked man chasing up from behind.
Lin Aoxue's pupils shrank, she clenched her fists subconsciously, her shoulders trembled involuntarily.Under her shocked yet suppressed pained eyes, Sui Liang's lips curled up, showing her an imperceptible smile, then his eyes darkened, and he fell to the ground like a broken sack.
"Performing well."
The masked man spoke admiringly to Lin Aoxue, then leaned over to pick up Sui Liang, he was not dead, but seriously injured, he was brought back to the palace in time, maybe he could be interrogated.
Lin Aoxue tried her best to endure the anger in her heart, her hands were tightly knit, her knuckles had turned white, and the wound on the palm of her right hand burst open again, but she had no energy to care about it.
She wished she could kill the two masked men on the spot and let Sui Liang go, but she couldn't do that right now, she couldn't even close her eyes to escape the reality, showing a little bit of hesitation and panic.I can only keep a cold face, and cover up my fragility, pain and struggle with an ordinary appearance as much as possible.
The moment Sui Liang discovered Lin Aoxue's identity, she understood Lin Aoxue's plan and made a choice in front of her.But Lin Aoxue can only fulfill his expectations as much as possible.From the beginning to the end, he believed that Lin Aoxue would not let him down.
The masked man dragged Sui Liang, who was in a coma, and another person who had been hiding in the house waiting for an opportunity was also brought out. Even though Lin Aoxue could hardly hold back the pain in her heart, she still had to keep calm as much as possible and keep herself calm. Don't show any flaws in front of Prince Zong.
She still has to work hard in this scene.
She followed the masked man to bring Sui Liang and the actor who was rescued by Sui Liang back to Prince Zong's mansion. After Bei Chenhe ordered the dark guards to take Sui and Liang down for interrogation, she asked about what happened today. The interviewer truthfully told Bei Chenhe what happened today, and when he said that it was Lin Aoxue who made a decisive move to injure Sui Liang in one fell swoop, and that their action was so smooth this time, the smile on Bei Chenhe's face obviously deepened by two points.
He patted Lin Aoxue's shoulder in relief, looked down at her injured left arm, and said with a smile:
"I'll ask the doctor to show you the injury on your arm later, and you should take a good rest these few days."
Lin Aoxue waited for Bei Chenhe to finish speaking, and bowed respectfully to leave. She climbed over the wall and left the Prince's Mansion, and returned to the inn.
As for what happened to Sui Liang and that troupe of actors afterward, Lin Aoxue was powerless to care about it. She had already been arrested and taken to the clan prince's mansion, so it was impossible to rescue her.Knowing that Lin Aoxue cannot be rescued, Sui Liang chooses to use such an extreme method to conceal Lin Aoxue's identity, and at the same time, she also puts aside the relationship between Lin Aoxue and them, helping Lin Aoxue to completely gain Bei Chenhe's trust.
Lin Aoxue returned to the inn as calmly as possible, asked Xiao Er to prepare meals as usual, and ordered an extra jug of wine for him to bring to her room later.
After returning to the room, Lin Aoxue locked the door behind her back, finally showing a tired look in her eyes, she slumped down the wooden door, sat down on the ground, covered her face with her hands, tears flowed unscrupulously from the corners of her eyes, and put her hands together. The blood in the palm was smudged.
She didn't know why things became like this. She had struggled and worked hard for more than ten years, tried hard to survive, and lived hard, just to make her father avenged one day.
She has always thought that she is alone, no one can rely on, and no one can trust, so she puts all the pressure on her shoulders, wholeheartedly wants to get the military power, trains hard in the bitter cold border, and wins Beichenlong's Trust, get up little by little.
When she returned to the capital this time, she was quite knowledgeable about current affairs.She clarified her position and accepted Bei Chenhe's solicitation. Even though every step was difficult and dangerous, if she was not careful, she would be doomed, but she had to do it because she was fledgling and could only bear the humiliation.
But she didn't expect that in a corner she didn't know, there was still a group of people who were working hard to resist Bei Chenhe and fight for her deceased parents.They didn't even suspect that she had ulterior motives, but used the most sincere sincerity, their lives, and their blood to help her.
She felt like a heavy stone was pressing on her heart, which made her unable to breathe, even if she just breathed, it hurt to the bone.
It took Lin Aoxue a long time to calm down a little bit, until there was a clear knocking sound from behind the door, she stood up, straightened her face, and wiped away her tears.
Xiaoer delivered the food as promised, Lin Aoxue took the wound medicine that Yunyan gave her, raised her newly injured arm, lifted the mouth of the jar to take a sip, and then sprayed the wine on the wound.
The sharp and piercing pain stimulated her mind, from the flesh to the heart, making her face like gold paper, looking extremely haggard.
She took a deep breath, cleaned the blood from the wound, quickly applied the medicine, and then roughly bandaged it.
She only took one look at the food on that table and poured it all down. After a busy night, she was physically and mentally exhausted, and her mood was so bad that she couldn't swallow the food at all.
She changed out of her blood-stained clothes, but when she was taking off her coat, something strange fell from her waist and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Lin Aoxue paused, a look of surprise flashed across her eyes, she leaned over to pick up the metal object, and found that it was an exquisitely crafted golden key. It is very ordinary, and there is no lettering, so there is nothing special about it.
Lin Aoxue frowned, and she recalled that before pushing her away, Sui Liang whispered something in her ear: The golden sun floats away, and the red lotus blooms first.
Presumably this key was also at that time, when Sui Liang pushed her hard, he secretly stuffed it into her waist.
She was puzzled by the meaning buried in this code word before, and she was a little confused, but now seeing this key, an idea naturally appeared in Lin Aoxue's mind.
What that line of poem implies is probably a place, and that place should be related to this small golden key.
Lin Aoxue took a deep breath, and quickly put away the little golden key. She thought in her heart that this thing is extremely important, and where should it be placed so that no one will find it.
Beijing is too dangerous. If she can't find a chance to investigate the situation before returning to the northern border, she can only take this thing to the northern border and find a better opportunity in the future.
Lin Aoxue took the blood-stained clothes to wash, and after the matter stopped for a few days, she didn't go anywhere, just stayed quietly in the inn to recuperate, and at the same time adjusted her emotions well.
Her father's involvement in the assassination of Beichenhe by her father had dealt a great blow to her, and she was in a state of turmoil. She was afraid that she would not be able to control the hatred in her heart and make unexpected moves after going out, so she just stayed in the inn and tried her best to adjust. .
A few days later, Lin Aoxue was reading a book in the house, when someone knocked on the door of the inn, Lin Aoxue went to open the door, unexpectedly saw the person standing outside the door was Yun Yan.
She froze for a moment, didn't come back to her senses for a long time, until Yun Yan looked at her with a smile, tilted her head and asked with a smile:
"But I haven't seen you for a few days, Mr. Lin doesn't know the slave family anymore?"
Lin Aoxue opened her mouth with an extremely surprised expression:
"Why did Yan'er come here?"
Lin Aoxue had guessed earlier that Yunyan might be doing things like inquiring about the people behind her, so it is not surprising that Yunyan knew where she lived, but after she came to the capital, Yunyan never took the initiative to find her. This made her feel a little confused.
"Since the first day of the Lunar New Year, you said goodbye to the slave family. It has been more than ten days since you came to find the slave family, but you forgot the slave family?"
Yun Yan didn't answer Lin Aoxue's question, instead she asked Lin Aoxue with a weeping expression, she was so wronged, Lin Aoxue hurriedly explained:
"No, it's just, it's just that I'm a little busy these days..."
Seeing that she was in a panic, Yun Yan couldn't help but smile even more heartily, this person was still just as teasing.She raised her hand and pulled Lin Aoxue's cuff, and said with a smile:
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
Lin Aoxue has been shutting herself in the house for the past few days, and the three meals a day are delivered by the waiter in the shop. She has been in a muddle for the first three days. She often dreams at night, dreaming about the miserable situation in the mansion of the Great General Zhen Guo 13 years ago. The scene, or the scene when Sui Liang pounced on the knife edge in her hand that night, made her physically and mentally exhausted.
It wasn't until these two days that she got better, she was able to read a book and meditate, and the Clan Prince's Palace didn't send anyone to look for her again, so she had enough time to adjust her emotions.
She didn't go out to look for Yunyan, because she was worried that her negative emotions would affect Yunyan and make her see something.
However, before I knew it, more than ten days had passed.
Lin Aoxue let Yunyan into the room in a panic. Yunyan took a look at the inn she was staying in. The interior was too simple. She saw that the quilt by the bed was very thin and hadn't been dried for a long time. Frowning frowningly, he said with some worry:
"Why are the conditions here so bad?"
Seeing Yunyan touching Lin Aoxue's sleeping mattress and talking worriedly, Lin Aoxue scratched her forehead and explained:
"I haven't gone out for the past few days, and I haven't asked Xiao Er to clean up..."
Before Lin Aoxue finished speaking, Yunyan raised her head, blinked at her, and said doubtfully:
"But you just said that you are very busy these days?"
Being blocked by Yunyan, Lin Aoxue almost bit off her tongue. She turned away her eyes and replied in a low voice:
"Well... I'm busy reading."
"Is it?"
Yun Yan smiled lightly, walked to the table again, picked up the book that Lin Aoxue had just put down, glanced at the cover, and read in a straight voice:
""A Little Story of Looking for Flowers"?"
Lin Aoxue was very embarrassed, this book was one of the few books that she asked the inn waiter to go out to buy casually, today she had nothing to do, so she took it and flipped through two pages, because she was absent-minded, what was written in the book? He didn't care too much, unexpectedly being caught by Yunyan.
Yunyan clicked her tongue, although she didn't open the book to read, but just looking at the title, she knew that the contents of the book were not serious, she would not be so naive as to think that this booklet contained some notes about flower viewing.
She put down the book in her hand and looked at Lin Aoxue with deep meaning. Lin Aoxue sighed and said helplessly:
"Some things have bothered me recently."
Yun Yan looked at the sad expression on her face, and said softly:
"Would you like to hear it?"
Of course she knew that with Lin Aoxue's temperament, she would never read such small books anyway. Lin Aoxue was always in a trance today, presumably it was because of worrying things in her heart that she was so confused.
Lin Aoxue exhaled, invited Yunyan to sit down at the table, went to make a cup of tea, handed it to Yunyan to warm her hands, and then said:
"I told you before that when something happened to my family, I came to the capital to look for relatives, but the relative fell ill and died, and the whole family disappeared. But I met a man a few days ago, and he recognized me. Then he drank two cups with me to reminisce about the old days, and during the dinner he told me that there is still a descendant of that relative alive, but he has not seen him for a long time, and he does not know where he lives."
Upon hearing this, Yunyan raised her head and asked her:
"So, you are thinking, should you go to see that family?"
Lin Aoxue didn't speak, if things were as simple as Yun Yan said, she wouldn't need to be so troubled.
"Well, but I won't stay in the capital, even if I go to see it, it won't help."
she said sullenly.
Yun Yan stared at her, chuckled lightly:
"But you keep it in your heart, if you don't go and have a look, how can you feel at ease?"
Lin Aoxue took a sip of tea and asked:
"You think I should go see them too?"
Yun Yan laughed:
"Why not?"
Lin Aoxue made up her mind, suddenly felt relieved, and said with a smile:
"Yan'er is right, so before I leave, I'll take some time to search and see if I can find the family."
Seeing that Lin Aoxue had figured it out, Yunyan propped her chin and looked at her with a smile:
"Aoxue, do you know what day tomorrow is?"
Lin Aoxue was taken aback for a moment, and after thinking for a long time, she realized:
"Yeah, it's Lantern Festival!"
She locked herself in the house for so many days, and before she knew it, it was the Lantern Festival.
The smile in Yunyan's eyes deepened, and she folded her green and white fingers, and said with a smile:
"Then, will our Mr. Lin have some free time tomorrow to go to Beijing to enjoy the lanterns with the little girl?"
A smile bloomed on Lin Aoxue's face, she just figured out some things, which made her feel more relaxed, when Yunyan took the initiative to invite her, she didn't show the restraint she used to, and smiled openly:
"It's a rare festive season, and I have a date with a beautiful woman like Yan'er, so I have time."
Yunyan raised her eyebrows and smiled lightly:
"Hey, it looks like this book is worth reading."
Her meaningful eyes glanced sideways at Lin Aoxue's "A Little Note of Looking for Flowers", Lin Aoxue's magnanimity that had been built up with great difficulty was instantly broken, and she turned red again.
The author has something to say: the title of the book is random, I don’t know if there is any.=,=
Routine comments please accept please click!
Yun Yan was on the side to help, and the two of them ran around the courtyard for several times, and finally got the house in order, and it was already past noon.Yun Yan realized that it was past noon, worried that Lin Aoxue was hungry, so she said she was going to get some food, but there was no food in the house, and she forgot to buy some when she went to the market in the morning.
Lin Aoxue felt that it would be too troublesome to go to the market to buy ingredients now, so she suggested going directly to a nearby restaurant to eat something.Yun Yan did not insist on her own opinion, and readily agreed to go to the restaurant outside the street with Lin Aoxue:
"There are indeed a few good small restaurants facing the street."
Yun Yan took Lin Aoxue out, and the two came to the street talking and laughing all the way, found a small restaurant that looked quite clean and tidy, sat down and ordered two random dishes, Lin Aoxue took a sip, and clicked twice:
"This dish is good, but it's worse than the cooks in our camp."
Hearing this, Yun Yan laughed at her:
“How come you see?”
Lin Aoxue said that the food she had during her confinement period was very delicious, and then she changed the cook somehow, and even the taste of the food was not as good as before.
The smile on Yunyan's face deepened a bit, but she didn't answer Lin Aoxue's words, and only said:
"That's really a pity."
While eating, Lin Aoxue secretly glanced at Yunyan with sideways eyes, but Yunyan didn't make any changes at all. Lin Aoxue secretly laughed in her heart, and she didn't know how long Yunyan wanted to hide this matter from her.
After finishing their meal, they came out of the restaurant and walked slowly along the street to digest their food.Suddenly a servant from Yanyu Tower came looking for him, and asked Yunyan to go to Yanyu Tower in the afternoon. Yunyan had no choice but to take advantage of the New Year's Eve to take a good rest for two days, but there were some things in the building that required her to handle them.
Lin Aoxue expressed her understanding, and then sent Yunyan to the intersection outside the Yanyu Building. The two said goodbye at the intersection. Lin Aoxue watched Yunyan walk away, went upstairs, turned around herself, and wanted to go back to the inn.
But as soon as she passed the corner of the street, an arm suddenly protruded from the alley beside her, blocking Lin Aoxue two steps away, blocking her way.
Lin Aoxue looked up, and saw a masked man in black.
"Lin Qianhu, the prince has an invitation."
This person's voice was hoarse and obscure, Lin Aoxue raised her eyebrows unexpectedly, and looked at that person in surprise, she instinctively judged that this person's martial arts should be good, and guessed in her heart which prince he was talking about.
Even though she was thinking about it in her heart, she didn't show any resistance and spoke calmly:
"Your Excellency, please lead the way."
Hearing Lin Aoxue's words, the visitor was a little surprised, he did not expect Lin Aoxue to be so calm.He snorted and laughed, turned around and disappeared into the alley.Lin Aoxue's eyes froze, this person's lightness kung fu is good, but with a dodge, he was already ten steps away.
The corners of Lin Aoxue's lips curled up, showing a sense of competitiveness. This person is not bad, but her own lightness kung fu is not bad either. Immediately she made a wrong step and quickly followed her.
The man in black always takes the secret path, avoiding the noisy crowd, and easily loses the sight of the people behind him.Lin Aoxue saw that he was trying to make things difficult, and walked around the East Street of the capital twice, but did not rush to the destination.
She snorted coldly in her heart, not to be outdone, always followed behind leisurely, seeing that the man couldn't get rid of Lin Aoxue, he didn't waste any more time, turned around and continued speeding.
Seeing his sudden change of direction, Lin Aoxue couldn't help but narrow her eyes slightly, thoughtfully.After a while, the two arrived at the Prince Zong's Mansion, and a magnificent silhouette appeared in their field of vision. Seeing that Lin Aoxue was still following, the man in black showed a satisfied smile in his eyes.
He led Lin Aoxue to jump into the palace from the backyard wall. Lin Aoxue followed suit, and the two quietly entered the palace and walked to Bei Chenhe's study.
The man in black jumped down from the beam and knocked on the wooden window of the study with the previously agreed rhythm. When there was a soft click inside the window, the man in black turned his head and waved to Lin Aoxue. Lin Aoxue leaned over, and the man in black lightly Gently pushing open the window, the two climbed into the house along the window.
As soon as he landed on the ground, the man in black knelt down on one knee, and congratulated Bei Chen who was flipping through the books behind the table, "Your Majesty".
Bei Chenhe glanced at Lin Aoxue who was also kneeling respectfully after the man in black entered the room, nodded indistinctly, and said with a smile:
"Brother Lin is the king's choice, Xiao Mo, what do you think?"
The man in black who was called Xiao Mo bowed his head and replied respectfully:
"The prince's eyes have always been vicious, and his subordinates are convinced."
Bei Chenhe laughed, got up and walked to Xiao Mo's side, patted his shoulder, and said:
"You don't see that little brother Lin is not very old, but his kung fu is rare, you can rest assured to heal your wounds!"
Xiao Mo lowered his head and did not refute.Lin Aoxue was a little surprised, she glanced at Xiao Mo, thinking about what Bei Chenhe said just now.
Xiao Mo was injured, she did feel that Xiao Mo was short of breath when she came, it seemed that he had suffered an internal injury, a person with an injury can still make light work so superb, it shows that this person is really powerful.
Bei Chenhe waved his hand and told Xiao Mo to get up and stand aside. Although Lin Aoxue was a little puzzled by the charades of Bei Chenhe and Xiao Mo, she could roughly hear the meaning of their words. She guessed that it was Xiao Mo had some doubts about her strength, so when Beichen Hexun came over, he tried to test her out.
After comforting Xiao Mo, Bei Chenhe looked at Lin Aoxue again, smiled and said:
"Brother Lin, get up first."
Lin Aoxue stood up as she said, while Bei Chenhe sat down after returning to the table, holding a piece of jade pendant in his hand to play with, and asked Lin Aoxue aloud at the same time:
"Aren't you curious about why this king asked you to come here?"
Hearing this, Lin Aoxue remained calm and answered honestly:
"I think that if the prince thinks it is necessary, he will tell me the reason. If the prince thinks it is not necessary, I will not be curious."
Bei Chenhe squinted his eyes, nodded and said with a smile:
"You are very smart."
Lin Aoxue stopped talking, Bei Chenhe said again:
"Do you still remember the actor who assassinated in the palace last night?"
Bei Chenhe changed the subject and suddenly brought up the incident of the assassination last night. Lin Aoxue naturally remembered the actor who hurt someone. She was also hurt by that man with a hairpin:
"I remember next time."
"The troupe who came to the Wangfu to set up the stage last night were all detained in the Wangfu, but in the middle of the night, someone broke into the Wangfu at night, injured all the guards, and rescued one person."
Bei Chenhe didn't make any more detours with Lin Aoxue, his face darkened, and he told the main reason for looking for Lin Aoxue today:
"This person must know a lot of secrets. However, although the hidden guards under the king have traced the approximate whereabouts of this person, they are not sure to capture him directly. Now it is the time of the year, and His Majesty is watching the movement in Beijing very closely. Wang wants to thoroughly investigate this matter, but he must not send too many people."
He needs to make as little noise as possible, so there are not many people who can take action, and it is best not to send people from the palace. In this case, he needs someone with strong martial arts to complete this matter for him.
Originally he wanted to send Xiao Mo to take action, but Xiao Mo was injured while carrying out a mission, and his internal injuries were not fully healed, so Bei Chenhe thought of Lin Aoxue.
Lin Aoxue resolutely rescued her last night and blocked the actor's assassination, so she was not considered a sideline. At the same time, this was also an opportunity Bei Chenhe gave her to show her loyalty.
After Bei Chenhe finished speaking, he looked at Lin Aoxue with a smile, his eyes were very peaceful and kind, as if he had no intention of persecuting Lin Aoxue at all.Lin Aoxue thought about it in her heart and understood the interests of this matter. She immediately knelt down on one knee, bowed her head and said:
"I will do my best."
Bei Chenhe smiled with satisfaction, he signaled Lin Aoxue to get up, and then ordered:
"You go to the alleys of the West Market to find a man named Cai Quan."
Lin Aoxue bowed and left. Just like when she came, she didn't go through the main entrance, but turned out through the hidden courtyard wall in the backyard of the palace.After leaving the palace, Lin Aoxue went to the West Market as promised. She found a dark and remote alley according to the news Bei Chenhe gave her.
The alley was very deep, and even in daytime, the light was very dim. Lin Aoxue made sure that she was in the right place, so she walked into the alley with a sullen face.In the depths of the alley, a sloppy beggar lay down in a corner and fell asleep, with several tattered wine jars poured beside him.
When Lin Aoxue approached, the beggar suddenly opened his eyes, and the next moment he struck out swiftly, neatly pinching Lin Aoxue's throat.Lin Aoxue reacted quickly, almost at the same time the beggar made a move, she floated back.
The beggar missed a move, and immediately changed his move, stepped on his foot, and bullied himself again. This time, he stretched out two fingers and pierced Lin Aoxue's eyes fiercely.Lin Aoxue still didn't change her face, she only took two steps back, and then stopped.
Seeing that the beggar's fierce move was about to come, Lin Aoxue's eyes flashed a gloomy coldness. She pointed at the beggar's wrist from the bottom to the top, and touched the beggar's wrist. With a soft pop, the beggar Eat pain, slow down your moves.
Lin Aoxue twisted the beggar's arm with her backhand, trying to snatch him back, but the beggar was also a man who had experienced many battles, and suddenly fell down, and the arm caught by Lin Aoxue shook violently, swinging away Lin Aoxue's five fingers, and easily escaped .
Lin Aoxue was aroused by this person's strange martial arts skills, and fought against him more seriously. Although it was only in a dark alley, there was not even the slightest abnormal sound between them.
After dozens of tricks, both sides won or lost, but Lin Aoxue's skills were more profound. After a hundred moves, Lin Aoxue quickly broke through the beggar's defense, and stretched out her two fingers like lightning, precisely on the beggar's acupuncture points.
But at this time, the fist that the beggar hit was only a mere punch away from Lin Aoxue's shoulder.
"Hey, little brother, your martial arts are pretty good."
The winner was already decided, the beggar smiled heartily, and immediately his body shook, under Lin Aoxue's slightly shocked eyes, he untied the sealed acupuncture points in an instant.Lin Aoxue was secretly surprised, Xiao Mo's lightness kung fu before, and the acupoint-relieving technique of the person in front of her at this moment, are not something ordinary people can do.
It can be seen that Bei Chenhe's subordinates have many talented people.
"Why didn't Xiao Mo come?"
The beggar relaxed his shoulders and turned to ask Lin Aoxue.Lin Aoxue frowned, and didn't immediately answer the person's words. Seeing that Lin Aoxue didn't answer, the beggar first rubbed his head in confusion, then seemed to remember something, patted his forehead, and said:
"My name is Cai Quan, what's your name, little brother?"
It turned out that this person was Cai Quan.
Lin Aoxue remained motionless, and replied coldly:
"Lin Aoxue, Xiao Mo's old injury has not healed, so the prince sent me here."
As she spoke, she also took out a white wordless jade tablet from her bosom.Cai Quan glanced at the sign, didn't ask any more questions, and instead smiled:
"Come with me little brother."
After Cai Quan finished speaking, he turned around and left, climbing over the low wall at the end of the alley.Lin Aoxue was tried again in martial arts, but she didn't show annoyance at all, she got Cai Quan's approval, she didn't delay in place, and followed closely over the wall.
Lin Aoxue followed Cai Quanquan and walked through the alley turning left and right. The road was extremely complicated. If Lin Aoxue hadn't had a good memory and could remember every time she walked, she would probably get lost.
After a while, the surrounding environment became noisy, Cai Quan stopped in an alley, Lin Aoxue looked out from the alley, his eyes fixed.
This is the slums of West City.
The slums are very messy, there are all kinds of people, in addition to the poor slaves, there are also vicious thieves, maybe in some unknown corner, there are fugitives full of crimes hiding.The master who intercepted people from the palace must have fled here because of the mixed environment of the slums.
Cai Quan also hid behind the wall and looked out, and then said to Lin Aoxue:
"My mission is complete, just wait here for a while, and someone will come to meet you."
After he finished speaking, he didn't stay for long, turned around and left.
Lin Aoxue waited quietly in the alley for a while, when there was a sound of wind behind her, she raised her hand to grab the wrist of the visitor precisely, and their eyes met accurately in the darkness.
"follow me."
The person came in black and covered his face. He glanced at the wrist pinched by Lin Aoxue, and the light in his eyes was calm.Lin Aoxue let go of her hand, and silently followed this person to move again.
Looking at the leopard, Lin Aoxue has only touched the tip of the iceberg of power in Bei Chenhe's hands. There are so many capable people and strangers who are used by him. They have a clear division of labor and shallow connections with each other. It is difficult to uproot them.
Bringing down Bei Chenhe is definitely not something that will happen overnight.
Even if she tried everything possible in this life, blocking her life and losing years and years, it is still unknown who will win in the end.
The masked man brought Lin Aoxue outside the dilapidated courtyard wall, and then spoke to Lin Aoxue about the current situation:
"This person rescued a person from the palace last night, but when he fled, the actor was seriously injured. Since this person tried his best to save the person, he probably tried his best to save the actor's life, so they will definitely meet at the latest tonight. Get out of hiding."
Lin Aoxue's face was solemn, and she glanced at a row of low houses not far away. The masked man told her that he and another person had tracked here yesterday, and it was only certain that the person had fled into this area with others, but Because his martial arts are slightly inferior, he may not be able to capture him alive, so he can only wait outside.
At the same time, they were not sure which room the man hid in. If they rushed in and searched, it was very likely that the man would take the opportunity to escape completely.
The task entrusted to Lin Aoxue by the masked man is to let her pay attention to the movement of everyone in the row of low rooms, and once she finds the target, she will go forward and lead the rescuer away. As for the masked man himself, he will He will cooperate with Lin Aoxue's actions to snatch the robbed actor.
Lin Aoxue waited at the designated location as promised, carefully observing the pedestrians coming and going outside the low house.
In order to get away from the masked man's eyeliner, those two people will definitely disguise themselves, look for opportunities, and try not to let people notice the strangeness as much as possible, but the breath and footsteps of the injured person are very different from ordinary people, and people who know martial arts will mix into the crowd It is also easy to distinguish, which makes them dare not rush out.
Lin Aoxue's patience was excellent, she waited in the corner for half a day without a single complaint, while the masked man hiding in another direction observed the situation in the low room, he would also pay attention to Lin Aoxue's situation, but Lin Aoxue He never showed any anxiety, which made him gradually relax.
The sky was getting darker and darker, more and more people were coming and going to and from the slums, and there were many people outside the alley. Lin Aoxue focused her attention and calmly observed every move of the people in the low house.
The sun was not long in winter, another hour passed, and the night was already extremely deep. At a certain moment, Lin Aoxue's eyes flashed brightly, and her figure turned into a sharp arrow, and she shot out from the alley.
But I saw a figure limping out of a room, his breath was heavy, as if he had drunk alcohol, but his face was covered with a thick coarse cloth, blocking his face, he seemed to be normal Walking outside the street, taking a step forward, I suddenly heard a crisp sound of breaking through the air from behind my head.
He paused, subconsciously shook his body, Lin Aoxue's palm brushed against his ear.
A ferocious light burst out of this person's eyes, he flipped his wrist, took a dagger in his hand, turned his defense into an attack, and slashed towards Lin Aoxue's throat.Lin Aoxue responded calmly, saw every move, and when the dagger was approaching, a sharp weapon slipped out of her cuff, and with a crisp ding, it blocked the drunk man's dagger.
While Lin Aoxue was fighting this person, the two masked men who performed the task together with Lin Aoxue also found the trace of the actor. They slid down the rock wall, trying to get into the house to arrest him.
The drunk man was shocked and wanted to turn around to rescue him, but Lin Aoxue took the initiative to stop him at this moment, and did not allow him to go to help.In desperation, the drunk's moves became more and more violent, and an extremely powerful offensive broke out, even putting Lin Aoxue at a disadvantage.
Lin Aoxue was astonished, this was the first time since she came down from the mountain, she encountered a master who could put her at a disadvantage in martial arts!
This drunk man not only moved extremely fast, but also had extremely strong internal strength. He forced Lin Aoxue back with a palm, Lin Aoxue's eyes were stern, insisting that he was not allowed to go, he turned around and cut off the sleeve of Lin Aoxue's left arm.
Suddenly, the drunk man was shaken all over and stopped walking. He stared at Lin Aoxue's left arm, his eyes were red and bloodshot.
Although Lin Aoxue was puzzled, she didn't dare to be negligent, and continued to make moves, trying to capture this person.
But at this moment, the drunk suddenly raised his head, looked at Lin Aoxue blankly, lowered his voice, and called out hoarsely:
"Cher."
There was some uncertainty in his voice, but the dagger Lin Aoxue swung seemed to be pulled by a force in the air, making her unable to strike again.
The rough cloth on the man's face drooped, revealing a rough and resolute face. Seeing Lin Aoxue froze, he suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Lin Aoxue's arm, and cut an old knife wound about two inches long on her left forearm. exposed.
"You must be right, you are Xue'er, you really are not dead!"
He became agitated, his eyes glowed with excitement, Lin Aoxue withdrew her hand forcefully, and took two steps back, she didn't dare to speak, but she didn't know how to do it.
The situation in front of her exceeded her expectations, and she suddenly lost her sense of proportion.
Lin Aoxue recognized this person from her father's old department. His name was Sui Liang. He was skilled in martial arts. He had taught her martial arts when she was young. The old injury on her left arm was when she was 15 years old. She insisted on learning martial arts. The kung fu of ordering a three-legged cat is to go out to fight for justice, but in the end, he was accidentally scratched when fighting with others.
The people who knew about this, apart from her parents, were Sui Liang who came to rescue her and bandaged her wound with his own hands.
Lin Aoxue did not expect that she would meet her father's old department here, let alone that the assassination of Bei Chenhe by the clan prince's residence was related to her father's old department, and she even asked Sui Ling to recognize her identity!
Reality pushed Lin Aoxue into an extremely difficult situation, and she didn't know how to deal with the current situation.If Sui Liang is let go, then she will definitely lose Bei Chenhe's trust, but if she goes all out to capture Sui Liang, how can she be worthy of her own conscience, and how can she be worthy of her dead parents?
During the time when she was silent, Sui Liang had confirmed Lin Aoxue's identity, his eyes were bloodshot and tears filled his eyes.
Sui Liang wanted to say something, but was awakened by the sudden screams from behind. Bei Chenhe's masked man had already captured the actor who fled earlier, and now he drew his hand to help Lin Aoxue.Time was running out, Sui Liang should have taken advantage of this opportunity to escape, but after taking a deep look at Lin Aoxue, he suddenly shot at Lin Aoxue.
Lin Aoxue frowned, and subconsciously fought back, but she didn't make a killing move. She swung the dagger forward in her hand, just wanting to block Sui Liang's attacking dagger, but unexpectedly at this moment, Sui Liang He took the initiative to withdraw the move, and then under Lin Aoxue's shocked gaze, he rushed over and met the sharp blade in Lin Aoxue's hand with his chest.
Lin Aoxue was stunned by the shock, her expression was dull, the blade penetrated into her body, and pierced into Sui Liang's chest without fancy, Lin Aoxue's hands were trembling, hot blood splashed on her hands, making her eyes widen in shock , whispered in a trembling voice:
"Uncle Mu..."
Hearing Lin Aoxue's voice, Sui Liang let out a chuckle, but when he smiled, hot blood slid down the corner of his mouth.He sighed in relief, then raised his hand with difficulty, and lightly scratched the wound on Lin Aoxue's left forearm, covering up the old scar with a new wound.
The dagger in his hand fell to the ground with a loud clang.The masked man was still approaching quickly, Sui Liang leaned his head close to Lin Aoxue, and whispered something in her ear, and then he suddenly went crazy and pushed Lin Aoxue hard.
White knives went in and red knives came out, the blood-stained dagger escaped from Sui Liang's chest, he staggered back, and was slashed on the back with all his strength by the masked man chasing up from behind.
Lin Aoxue's pupils shrank, she clenched her fists subconsciously, her shoulders trembled involuntarily.Under her shocked yet suppressed pained eyes, Sui Liang's lips curled up, showing her an imperceptible smile, then his eyes darkened, and he fell to the ground like a broken sack.
"Performing well."
The masked man spoke admiringly to Lin Aoxue, then leaned over to pick up Sui Liang, he was not dead, but seriously injured, he was brought back to the palace in time, maybe he could be interrogated.
Lin Aoxue tried her best to endure the anger in her heart, her hands were tightly knit, her knuckles had turned white, and the wound on the palm of her right hand burst open again, but she had no energy to care about it.
She wished she could kill the two masked men on the spot and let Sui Liang go, but she couldn't do that right now, she couldn't even close her eyes to escape the reality, showing a little bit of hesitation and panic.I can only keep a cold face, and cover up my fragility, pain and struggle with an ordinary appearance as much as possible.
The moment Sui Liang discovered Lin Aoxue's identity, she understood Lin Aoxue's plan and made a choice in front of her.But Lin Aoxue can only fulfill his expectations as much as possible.From the beginning to the end, he believed that Lin Aoxue would not let him down.
The masked man dragged Sui Liang, who was in a coma, and another person who had been hiding in the house waiting for an opportunity was also brought out. Even though Lin Aoxue could hardly hold back the pain in her heart, she still had to keep calm as much as possible and keep herself calm. Don't show any flaws in front of Prince Zong.
She still has to work hard in this scene.
She followed the masked man to bring Sui Liang and the actor who was rescued by Sui Liang back to Prince Zong's mansion. After Bei Chenhe ordered the dark guards to take Sui and Liang down for interrogation, she asked about what happened today. The interviewer truthfully told Bei Chenhe what happened today, and when he said that it was Lin Aoxue who made a decisive move to injure Sui Liang in one fell swoop, and that their action was so smooth this time, the smile on Bei Chenhe's face obviously deepened by two points.
He patted Lin Aoxue's shoulder in relief, looked down at her injured left arm, and said with a smile:
"I'll ask the doctor to show you the injury on your arm later, and you should take a good rest these few days."
Lin Aoxue waited for Bei Chenhe to finish speaking, and bowed respectfully to leave. She climbed over the wall and left the Prince's Mansion, and returned to the inn.
As for what happened to Sui Liang and that troupe of actors afterward, Lin Aoxue was powerless to care about it. She had already been arrested and taken to the clan prince's mansion, so it was impossible to rescue her.Knowing that Lin Aoxue cannot be rescued, Sui Liang chooses to use such an extreme method to conceal Lin Aoxue's identity, and at the same time, she also puts aside the relationship between Lin Aoxue and them, helping Lin Aoxue to completely gain Bei Chenhe's trust.
Lin Aoxue returned to the inn as calmly as possible, asked Xiao Er to prepare meals as usual, and ordered an extra jug of wine for him to bring to her room later.
After returning to the room, Lin Aoxue locked the door behind her back, finally showing a tired look in her eyes, she slumped down the wooden door, sat down on the ground, covered her face with her hands, tears flowed unscrupulously from the corners of her eyes, and put her hands together. The blood in the palm was smudged.
She didn't know why things became like this. She had struggled and worked hard for more than ten years, tried hard to survive, and lived hard, just to make her father avenged one day.
She has always thought that she is alone, no one can rely on, and no one can trust, so she puts all the pressure on her shoulders, wholeheartedly wants to get the military power, trains hard in the bitter cold border, and wins Beichenlong's Trust, get up little by little.
When she returned to the capital this time, she was quite knowledgeable about current affairs.She clarified her position and accepted Bei Chenhe's solicitation. Even though every step was difficult and dangerous, if she was not careful, she would be doomed, but she had to do it because she was fledgling and could only bear the humiliation.
But she didn't expect that in a corner she didn't know, there was still a group of people who were working hard to resist Bei Chenhe and fight for her deceased parents.They didn't even suspect that she had ulterior motives, but used the most sincere sincerity, their lives, and their blood to help her.
She felt like a heavy stone was pressing on her heart, which made her unable to breathe, even if she just breathed, it hurt to the bone.
It took Lin Aoxue a long time to calm down a little bit, until there was a clear knocking sound from behind the door, she stood up, straightened her face, and wiped away her tears.
Xiaoer delivered the food as promised, Lin Aoxue took the wound medicine that Yunyan gave her, raised her newly injured arm, lifted the mouth of the jar to take a sip, and then sprayed the wine on the wound.
The sharp and piercing pain stimulated her mind, from the flesh to the heart, making her face like gold paper, looking extremely haggard.
She took a deep breath, cleaned the blood from the wound, quickly applied the medicine, and then roughly bandaged it.
She only took one look at the food on that table and poured it all down. After a busy night, she was physically and mentally exhausted, and her mood was so bad that she couldn't swallow the food at all.
She changed out of her blood-stained clothes, but when she was taking off her coat, something strange fell from her waist and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Lin Aoxue paused, a look of surprise flashed across her eyes, she leaned over to pick up the metal object, and found that it was an exquisitely crafted golden key. It is very ordinary, and there is no lettering, so there is nothing special about it.
Lin Aoxue frowned, and she recalled that before pushing her away, Sui Liang whispered something in her ear: The golden sun floats away, and the red lotus blooms first.
Presumably this key was also at that time, when Sui Liang pushed her hard, he secretly stuffed it into her waist.
She was puzzled by the meaning buried in this code word before, and she was a little confused, but now seeing this key, an idea naturally appeared in Lin Aoxue's mind.
What that line of poem implies is probably a place, and that place should be related to this small golden key.
Lin Aoxue took a deep breath, and quickly put away the little golden key. She thought in her heart that this thing is extremely important, and where should it be placed so that no one will find it.
Beijing is too dangerous. If she can't find a chance to investigate the situation before returning to the northern border, she can only take this thing to the northern border and find a better opportunity in the future.
Lin Aoxue took the blood-stained clothes to wash, and after the matter stopped for a few days, she didn't go anywhere, just stayed quietly in the inn to recuperate, and at the same time adjusted her emotions well.
Her father's involvement in the assassination of Beichenhe by her father had dealt a great blow to her, and she was in a state of turmoil. She was afraid that she would not be able to control the hatred in her heart and make unexpected moves after going out, so she just stayed in the inn and tried her best to adjust. .
A few days later, Lin Aoxue was reading a book in the house, when someone knocked on the door of the inn, Lin Aoxue went to open the door, unexpectedly saw the person standing outside the door was Yun Yan.
She froze for a moment, didn't come back to her senses for a long time, until Yun Yan looked at her with a smile, tilted her head and asked with a smile:
"But I haven't seen you for a few days, Mr. Lin doesn't know the slave family anymore?"
Lin Aoxue opened her mouth with an extremely surprised expression:
"Why did Yan'er come here?"
Lin Aoxue had guessed earlier that Yunyan might be doing things like inquiring about the people behind her, so it is not surprising that Yunyan knew where she lived, but after she came to the capital, Yunyan never took the initiative to find her. This made her feel a little confused.
"Since the first day of the Lunar New Year, you said goodbye to the slave family. It has been more than ten days since you came to find the slave family, but you forgot the slave family?"
Yun Yan didn't answer Lin Aoxue's question, instead she asked Lin Aoxue with a weeping expression, she was so wronged, Lin Aoxue hurriedly explained:
"No, it's just, it's just that I'm a little busy these days..."
Seeing that she was in a panic, Yun Yan couldn't help but smile even more heartily, this person was still just as teasing.She raised her hand and pulled Lin Aoxue's cuff, and said with a smile:
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
Lin Aoxue has been shutting herself in the house for the past few days, and the three meals a day are delivered by the waiter in the shop. She has been in a muddle for the first three days. She often dreams at night, dreaming about the miserable situation in the mansion of the Great General Zhen Guo 13 years ago. The scene, or the scene when Sui Liang pounced on the knife edge in her hand that night, made her physically and mentally exhausted.
It wasn't until these two days that she got better, she was able to read a book and meditate, and the Clan Prince's Palace didn't send anyone to look for her again, so she had enough time to adjust her emotions.
She didn't go out to look for Yunyan, because she was worried that her negative emotions would affect Yunyan and make her see something.
However, before I knew it, more than ten days had passed.
Lin Aoxue let Yunyan into the room in a panic. Yunyan took a look at the inn she was staying in. The interior was too simple. She saw that the quilt by the bed was very thin and hadn't been dried for a long time. Frowning frowningly, he said with some worry:
"Why are the conditions here so bad?"
Seeing Yunyan touching Lin Aoxue's sleeping mattress and talking worriedly, Lin Aoxue scratched her forehead and explained:
"I haven't gone out for the past few days, and I haven't asked Xiao Er to clean up..."
Before Lin Aoxue finished speaking, Yunyan raised her head, blinked at her, and said doubtfully:
"But you just said that you are very busy these days?"
Being blocked by Yunyan, Lin Aoxue almost bit off her tongue. She turned away her eyes and replied in a low voice:
"Well... I'm busy reading."
"Is it?"
Yun Yan smiled lightly, walked to the table again, picked up the book that Lin Aoxue had just put down, glanced at the cover, and read in a straight voice:
""A Little Story of Looking for Flowers"?"
Lin Aoxue was very embarrassed, this book was one of the few books that she asked the inn waiter to go out to buy casually, today she had nothing to do, so she took it and flipped through two pages, because she was absent-minded, what was written in the book? He didn't care too much, unexpectedly being caught by Yunyan.
Yunyan clicked her tongue, although she didn't open the book to read, but just looking at the title, she knew that the contents of the book were not serious, she would not be so naive as to think that this booklet contained some notes about flower viewing.
She put down the book in her hand and looked at Lin Aoxue with deep meaning. Lin Aoxue sighed and said helplessly:
"Some things have bothered me recently."
Yun Yan looked at the sad expression on her face, and said softly:
"Would you like to hear it?"
Of course she knew that with Lin Aoxue's temperament, she would never read such small books anyway. Lin Aoxue was always in a trance today, presumably it was because of worrying things in her heart that she was so confused.
Lin Aoxue exhaled, invited Yunyan to sit down at the table, went to make a cup of tea, handed it to Yunyan to warm her hands, and then said:
"I told you before that when something happened to my family, I came to the capital to look for relatives, but the relative fell ill and died, and the whole family disappeared. But I met a man a few days ago, and he recognized me. Then he drank two cups with me to reminisce about the old days, and during the dinner he told me that there is still a descendant of that relative alive, but he has not seen him for a long time, and he does not know where he lives."
Upon hearing this, Yunyan raised her head and asked her:
"So, you are thinking, should you go to see that family?"
Lin Aoxue didn't speak, if things were as simple as Yun Yan said, she wouldn't need to be so troubled.
"Well, but I won't stay in the capital, even if I go to see it, it won't help."
she said sullenly.
Yun Yan stared at her, chuckled lightly:
"But you keep it in your heart, if you don't go and have a look, how can you feel at ease?"
Lin Aoxue took a sip of tea and asked:
"You think I should go see them too?"
Yun Yan laughed:
"Why not?"
Lin Aoxue made up her mind, suddenly felt relieved, and said with a smile:
"Yan'er is right, so before I leave, I'll take some time to search and see if I can find the family."
Seeing that Lin Aoxue had figured it out, Yunyan propped her chin and looked at her with a smile:
"Aoxue, do you know what day tomorrow is?"
Lin Aoxue was taken aback for a moment, and after thinking for a long time, she realized:
"Yeah, it's Lantern Festival!"
She locked herself in the house for so many days, and before she knew it, it was the Lantern Festival.
The smile in Yunyan's eyes deepened, and she folded her green and white fingers, and said with a smile:
"Then, will our Mr. Lin have some free time tomorrow to go to Beijing to enjoy the lanterns with the little girl?"
A smile bloomed on Lin Aoxue's face, she just figured out some things, which made her feel more relaxed, when Yunyan took the initiative to invite her, she didn't show the restraint she used to, and smiled openly:
"It's a rare festive season, and I have a date with a beautiful woman like Yan'er, so I have time."
Yunyan raised her eyebrows and smiled lightly:
"Hey, it looks like this book is worth reading."
Her meaningful eyes glanced sideways at Lin Aoxue's "A Little Note of Looking for Flowers", Lin Aoxue's magnanimity that had been built up with great difficulty was instantly broken, and she turned red again.
The author has something to say: the title of the book is random, I don’t know if there is any.=,=
