Peacock!
It is the symbol of the princes and generals of Huyi.
So this sword is not owned by ordinary people.
Bai Yin: "So that person is most likely a member of the Huyi royal family? Maybe a noble."
Jing Rong: "That's right."
Bai Yin was full of confusion.
Then he took the sword over, put it under the candlelight and looked again.
It does have a peacock printed on it.
It was stamped on it with liquid silver, and it would be hard to see anything on it unless it was in a bright place.
It is precisely because this sword is so peculiar that Lian Que liked it so much, so A Jin spent a lot of energy to get the sword and give it to him.
Bai Yin looked at the body of the sword and whispered softly, "Who is that person... Who is it?"
…
In a small house, only one lamp is lit in the courtyard.
It snowed heavily in the middle of the night and did not stop for a moment.
The cold wind is rustling, rolling in this courtyard, quite a bit cold.
The tightly closed room inside was flickering with light, and after a while, someone pushed open the door from inside.
A girl came out with a tub.
When you come out, gently close the door again.
In her hand is a basin of water.
A bucket of blood!
There was also a blood-stained towel in the basin.
Bloody scary.
Then hurried to the backyard.
At this time, not far from the door, a dark carriage arrived at the door, and the driver was a guard dressed in black.
The horse roared suddenly.
Break the quiet night at the moment.
When the carriage stopped, the guard dismounted and respectfully said to the people sitting in the carriage, "Master, here we are."
The curtain was lifted and a person came out.
The man was wearing a black cloak and a cap.
The whole face was buried in the darkness.
The guard pushed open the door of the house, stood to one side, and the mysterious man entered first, walking along the lights in the courtyard to the closed room.
The people inside seemed to know that someone was coming, opened the door in time, and respectfully called "Master".
The person who came came said "um"!
Then enter the door.
He untied the cloak on his body and handed it to someone else, revealing that somewhat old and stern face.
This person is the Marquis of Nanguo!
He instructed others: "You go out first."
"Yes!"
When the other people leave, close the door.
Nanguohou walked lightly to the inner room, where Lian Que was lying on the bed.
He was pale, with beads of sweat on his forehead.
Chiguo was wearing her upper body, with a thick bandage wrapped around her arms.
He did not expect that the sword that Bai Yin slashed on his body would be so heavy that it went directly to the bone.
One step later, he may endanger his life.
But it's not worth it!
At this moment, he seemed to be still in a dream, holding the sheets tightly with both hands, shaking his body lightly, and frowning high.
He kept calling: "Ajin, Ajin..."
The Marquis of Nanguo sat by the bed and heard him calling his nephew Ajin's name.
After so many years, he has been thinking about it in his heart.
Did not forget.
That kind of missing is no less than the feeling that Nan Guohou misses his sister and nephew.
"Lian Que? Wake up."
Lian Que didn't wake up, and was still in the dream. He seemed to see A Jin in his dream. The vague and familiar figure was right in front of him, but he couldn't see the other person's appearance, nor could he touch it.
That feeling is extremely uncomfortable.
"Lian Que?"
He faintly heard a voice.
Slowly opening his eyes, he saw the Marquis of Nanguo sitting beside his bed.
"Marquis?" His pale, dry lips uttered the words slightly startled.
Getting up and trying to get out of bed.
But he was stopped by the Marquis of Nanguo: "You have a good rest."
"Why did Lord Hou come?"
"I heard you were injured."
"Just a minor injury." He pressed his bandaged arm.
If it was a small injury, his body would be able to endure it completely, and he wouldn't be lying on the bed like he is now.
The Marquis of Nanguo took out the medicine he brought from his sleeve and put it on the head of the bed: "Remember to apply this golden medicine when you change the medicine."
"Thank you, Lord Marquis, it's my incompetence, I couldn't find out the true identity of that girl Ji, but I was shocked by the grass."
"Everything has an accident, you don't need to blame yourself."
Lian Que: "I had a misunderstanding with them because of the incident at the inn, and one of them murdered me. If I hadn't kidnapped one of them, I'm afraid I'd be dead now."
"troubled you."
"I will do anything for the Marquis." Lian Que said immediately, "However, the subordinates have also found some other news in the past few days."
"What?" "It turns out that the reason why they agreed to help Cheng Shizi of the Marquis of Pingyang to investigate the case was because they made a deal." Lian Que paused for a while and continued, "Because they need to find someone, They have to go to the Ministry of Household, Cheng Shizi promised to help them, and they have to promise to break the turmoil.
Buzzing case. "
uh-huh
Nan Guohou was confused: "So they came to Huyi to find someone? Do you know who they are looking for?"
Lian Que regretted: "I didn't find out, my subordinates were already discovered at that time."
Nanguo Hou Ze's expression sank, he stood up slowly, took two steps behind his back, sighed, and said, "They took the risk to come to Huyi to find someone, so that person must be very important, but why go to the Ministry of Housing to check people? "
Think softly.
But Lian Que still heard it, took the end of the sentence, and analyzed: "Could it be that they don't even know who the person they are looking for is, so they have to go to the Ministry of Household to find out?"
Nan Guohou looked back at him: "Your guess is not unreasonable, but who is the person they are looking for?"
"My subordinates will continue to investigate tomorrow."
"No, the most important thing right now is for you to take care of your injuries."
"But… "
"It's not urgent."
Lian Que knew that Marquis only cared about his injuries, he lowered his eyes, but suddenly doubted: "Actually Marquis, could all this be wrong?"
The Marquis of Nanguo was a little puzzled by his words: "What's wrong?"
"The Marquis thinks that Miss Ji is similar to the first empress. Maybe it's just because you miss the first empress too much."
Yes!
He is missing.
But - Nan Guohou said: "It's true or false, I haven't gotten to the point of confusion, I know it in my heart, I won't mess up! In short, the two cases in the city have not been solved, and she still has to find someone, so I don't temporarily Will leave Gaoding, I will send someone to check her identity, and when necessary, I will personally
go. "
personally!
Lian Que was worried, and immediately said: "But now Miss Ji is helping Cheng Shizi handle the case, it is a matter of the government, but Lord Hou, you have always stayed away from the court and never interfered in anything, just to hide your edge. If you are close to Ji at this time. Girl, is it inappropriate? In case... "
Not finished yet-
Nanguohou: "I have my own measure, you don't have to worry."
For more than 20 years, he has been careful and never aroused the slightest suspicion of King Hu Yi about himself, so he naturally knows moderation.
Even the bird is inconvenient to persuade any more.
"Now, you are taking good care of your wounds. It's not too early. I can't stay here for too long."
"My subordinates will send Hou Ye."
"No need." Nanguohou stopped him again.
He can only watch.
When they went out, the guards who were waiting outside immediately put their cloaks on the Marquis of Nanguo.
After putting on the bucket hat, he left here in a hurry. The dark night, shrouded in dense snowflakes, has once again returned to silence...
