Chapter 299: Take the lead
Just as Chu He was about to extend his thumb to Zhao Ling, Chu Xingyue's voice came again.
"On that day, Zhao Ling and I were chased and killed by the killers sent by Zhao Xuan, and when I fled for my life in a hurry, I was hit by an arrow and almost died, and in the end, Zhao Ling escaped with me on his back regardless of life and death, so that his life was saved; It's just that what I didn't expect was that when I survived, I found out that I had a special ability; So big brother, my talent awakening, strictly speaking, has little to do with Zhao Ling, if it weren't for Zhao Xuan's people who almost killed me, I might not know my true identity until now. ”
Chu He was shocked, he didn't expect his little sister to experience such a thrilling thing in the capital, he grabbed Chu Xingyue's shoulder and asked anxiously, "Then how are you?" Is it badly injured? What now? Are there any sequelae left? ”
Chu Xingyue comforted Chu He: "Big brother, don't be so nervous, the situation at that time may be hanging by a thread for me, but I am also immortal, and there are no sequelae; Zhao Ling, he has always taken good care of me, big brother, don't guess anymore. ”
Chu He cast an apologetic look at Zhao Ling, and at the same time, a fierce color flashed in his eyes: "I didn't expect that King Xuan is such a ruthless person, I can understand that he will attack his opponent, but he actually disregarded your life, and even you were involved in him; It can be seen that in his eyes, he can't look down on my Jingbei Marquis Mansion at all. ”
Chu Xingyue was already indifferent to Zhao Xuan, so seeing Chu He's dislike for Zhao Xuan, he was naturally willing to add fuel to the fire.
"Maybe the moment he thinks that I marry into the Ling Wangfu, I will be a person in his hostile camp. For me, naturally, he was ruthless. ”
"Villain! Hypocrite! ”
Seeing Chu He's evaluation of Zhao Xuan like this, Chu Xingyue's little plan in her heart succeeded: "Big brother, even for Zhao Xuan's sake of bullying me so much, we must help Zhao Ling well; Zhao Xuan is ruthless, if he waits for him to take the throne, let alone me, I am afraid that even the Jingbei Hou Mansion will suffer; Big brother, the situation in the capital is complicated at the moment, and a little more clues in our hands will be more beneficial to us; Therefore, how many dark lines there are in the capital of the Jingbei Hou Mansion, how much ability you have to come up with, you must help us well, do you know? ”
Chu He was naturally not stupid, and he could hear what Chu Xingyue really wanted to express.
glanced at Zhao Ling and put his hand on Chu Xingyue's head: "What a stupid girl, your method of attacking the west is quite slippery by you; It's really a little ghost, and they dare to play this kind of cautious eye in front of their eldest brother; Don't worry, your eldest brother and I are not that kind of foolish person, who will I help if my own people don't help me? ”
As he spoke, Chu He hugged his fist at Zhao Ling and said, "Lord Wang, I am willing to lead the troops back to the capital first, try to find out the traces of the 30,000 garrisons, and then find a way to intercept and disintegrate them." ”
Chu Xingyue didn't wait for Zhao Ling to answer, she patted Chu He excitedly and said, "Brother, since those people have already made up their minds to hide, how are you going to find them?" Is it an inch-by-inch search near the capital? Aren't you afraid that you won't find someone and expose yourself first? ”
Regarding this, Chu He also felt that it was a difficult problem, but the matter was man-made, he didn't believe it, 30,000 horses, such a huge number, how could it be said that hiding can be hidden?
As long as he left a little clue, he could find all those people along the way; than endurance, in this world, he Chu He has never found anyone more powerful than him.
Chu Xingyue knew that Chu He wanted to use a stupid method, sighed, and said, "Big brother, have you forgotten what Yuan Feng said just now?" He had a way of finding those people. ”
After Chu Xingyue's reminder, Chu He and Zhao Lin looked towards Yuan Feng at the same time.
Yuan Feng was also shaken by this enthusiastic gaze, coughed lightly, and said, "Yes, I can use the finch to help find the traces of the 30,000 garrisons." ”
As he spoke, Yuan Feng used the jade flute in his hand to blow out a few simple tones, and within a moment, he saw a very cute and small bird covered in colorful feathers fluttering its wings and flying in from outside.
At a glance, the finch knew that it was specially raised by Yuan Feng, just because after this little thing came in, no one's shoulder fell, but fell straight to Yuan Feng's shoulder, and even rubbed Yuan Feng's exposed neck skin with his furry little head one by one.
Chu Xingyue had always known Yuan Feng's abilities, but he didn't expect that he could even be so docile and obedient to such a cute bird.
"The finch is a finch I raised, it is very clever and clever, if it leads the way to find the 30,000 garrisons, it will definitely be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort."
Chu Xingyue immediately clapped her hands and said: "Yes, yes, this is indeed a good way to find someone, the speed of the bird is naturally faster than our foot, besides, this little finch has a small target, and it is an animal, even if it is discovered, they will not believe that this is our spy, it is not easy to attract the attention of others, and the latent concealment is high, just for us, it is beneficial and harmless." ”
It's just that, considering that this finch was domesticated by Yuan Feng, Chu Xingyue made a decision and said to Yuan Feng: "You go back to the capital with my eldest brother first, and I am more relieved to have you by his side." ”
"No, subordinates can't leave the young master's side."
"Yes, Xiaoyue, what danger will I be in as a big man? Let Yuan Feng hand over the finch to me, and I will take the black armor army back to the capital first; Yuan Feng's martial arts are strong, let him stay by your side, he can also protect you and help the prince. ”
Listening to the two men in front of her who refused to follow her arrangement, Chu Xingyue wrapped her arms around her chest and said with a resolute attitude: "I have Zhao Ling and the Jingwei of the palace by my side, and I am absolutely safe; It's the two of you who take the lead, and it's the one who should pay attention to safety the most; Big brother, you said that you would take the finch with you, then let me ask you, if the finch finds the traces of the 30,000 garrison, and it flies back to tell you, you don't understand the beast language, can you understand? When the time comes, you chickens and ducks will talk about it, so what should you do? And Yuan Feng, you have to remember that I don't want to chase you, but ask you to follow my eldest brother and protect the only bloodline of our Chu family; Besides, he is also a member of your clan, and he has the blood of the Tianding clan in his body, so you won't let him risk it alone, will you? ”
Chu He and Yuan Feng, who were blocked by Chu Xingyue at the same time, glanced at each other, and they both found helpless looks in each other's eyes.
When Zhao Ling saw this scene, he only smiled bitterly, he was very aware of Chu Xingyue's language negotiation skills, and wanted to win him in speaking, even he might not have that ability, let alone the two people in front of him?
Yuan Feng had always felt that he had made a mistake in his heart, and he thought of a way to help find the whereabouts of the 30,000 garrisons, but he forgot that among their group, he was the only one who was proficient in beast language; Right now, he doesn't seem to have any other choice than to follow Chu He's side.
"Young master, rest assured, his subordinates will protect General Chu well."
Listening to Yuan Feng's compromise, Chu Xingyue nodded with satisfaction, and then she looked at Chu He again, using her eyes to oppress him so that he didn't dare to struggle anymore.
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, Xiaoyue, you're really getting more and more capable now, even the eldest brother has to obey your arrangement."
Speaking of this, Chu He hugged his fist at Zhao Ling and said: "Lord Wang, the minister will definitely do his best to intercept and disintegrate the 30,000 garrisons, and please ask the prince to take more trouble to protect the safety of his sister." ”
Zhao Ling took Chu Xingyue into his arms and solemnly promised Chu He: "Big brother, don't worry, even if this king fights for his life, he will keep Yue'er safe." ”
Looking at the two men around her who loved her the most, Chu Xingyue smiled extremely happily and brightly.
In the past, she always felt that she was not from this place and could leave at any time, so she did not dare to give her true heart easily, because she was afraid that it would be too painful when she was separated; But now, she is especially glad that she can meet such a sincere and sincere good man.
For her, although the current situation is unpredictable, she is more calm than ever, because she feels all the love and warmth of the people around her; She was really happy, happy that she had made the decision not to leave, and happy that she had completely opened her heart to the people around her.
It turned out that even if she came to this completely unfamiliar country alone, she could reap such a full happiness.
Following
Chu He took Yuan Feng to lead the Black Armor Army to the capital as fast as possible, because Chu He had already taken action first, and Zhao Ling was no longer in a hurry for the next journey; All the way, he mainly took care of Chu Xingyue's body, and slowly walked towards the capital.
Two days later, Yonghe Palace
In recent days, all the palace attendants on errands in Yonghe Palace can feel the irritability and gloom from the queen's mother, in fact, the whole thing should be investigated from the time King Xuan took the initiative to enter the palace to ask the mother for peace, and the queen's whole person seems to have undergone earth-shaking changes.
In the past, the queen mother who always locked herself in the Buddha hall has never stepped into the small Buddha hall since that day, and that's it, the biggest change in the mother is that she has frequently seen the ministers of the previous dynasty in Yonghe Palace recently, especially the uncles who hold important positions in the court of their own mother's family, and they are like on duty every day, and they have to report to Yonghe Palace every day.
As soon as several masters of the Jiang family came, the Yonghe Palace fell into a more quiet and strange atmosphere, the door of the palace was closed, no one dared to approach, and even the tea eunuchs who were waiting in front of the palace were ordered not to appear easily.
And today, a more mysterious person came to Yonghe Palace.
This person was brought by the eldest master of the Jiang family, and his whole body was wrapped in a black cloak, and it could be judged by his body shape that this person should be an old man who was not good at walking, but the skin that was unintentionally exposed by the wind was extraordinarily delicate and smooth, and it was clear that only young people could have it.
These two situations appear on a person's body at the same time, which makes people's hairs stand on end, and I feel disgusting and jealous from the heart.
