— "The Biography of Princess Jiaping in Yong Shi"〗
Just when Lu Yun stared at the yellow-clothed youth's smile, the three horses had already passed by, and at this moment, the black-clothed youth suddenly made a "huh" and suddenly reined in the reins. , The black black-clothed horse raised its head and neighed, but it stopped its pace at that time. It can be seen that the horse is a good ji, and this black-clothed boy's riding skills are also very exquisite. The two horses next to him grabbed a few feet before they stopped their mounts, which shows that their riding skills are much inferior. On the contrary, the four guards who followed closely behind almost stopped their horses silently. Those people were all pressing the handle of the sword to protect the three teenagers in front of them.
The black-clothed boy Gao Zheng immediately pointed at Lu Yun with a horsewhip and asked, "Who are you? Where do you come from? What are you doing in Chang'an?"
Lu Yun's heart was shocked, he didn't know what flaw he had revealed, but after all, he was a general man with extraordinary courage, and now he was neither humble nor arrogant: "Xiao Ke's surname is Yun, his name is Yun Lu, he is from Nanchu, and this time he is following Shang Shang. The team went to Chang'an to look for relatives."
At this time, the two young men also rode their horses over. Lu Yun took the opportunity to look at the three of them carefully. The three of them were all galloping on their horses. The distance was quite far, but they didn't look carefully. You can clearly see the appearance of the three people.
The young man in yellow has not yet grown up, with a beautiful face and snow-skinned appearance. If you look closely, he should only look like eleven or two years old. This is still Lu Yun's judgment based on his riding skills. After all, if one is under ten years old It would be a bit shocking to see such a young child with such riding skills, because this young man's skin was as delicate as fat, and his demeanor was charming and charming, even if he was only nine or ten years old, some people would believe it. At this moment, the yellow-clothed youth was playing with the delicate light green whip in his hand, looking at Lu Yun for a while, and the black-clothed youth for a while, his dark eyes revealed a strong sense of curiosity.
In front of him, the black-clothed boy looked at him suspiciously. Although he was aggressive and old-fashioned, he looked like he could be the master of the house, but Lu Yun looked carefully and saw that this boy was quite immature, and he should be the same as the yellow-clothed boy. He seems to be older, at least not older than himself, but there is a thick cloud of evil spirit between his eyebrows, which makes him look a little vicissitudes of life, and he is quite tall, so he looks older.
But the young man in riding suit standing behind the horse was the most vigilant to Lu Yun. The young man looked sixteen or seventeen years old, with a normal appearance and a gentle and elegant temperament. But they are all ordinary things, no matter how you look at this young man, he is just an ordinary young man, but he rode with these two young men of extraordinary origin at first sight, and his demeanor was calm and there was no trace of it. A cowardly demeanor. Lu Yun remembered that his father once warned himself that such people are the most dangerous and must be careful.
The black-clothed boy didn't seem to care about Lu Yun's answer, he paused, then pointed at the bow and arrow on Lu Yun's back with his horsewhip: "This is a good iron tire bow, it should have the power of three stones, if you can use it With such a strong bow, even an eight-footed man can join the military, can you really use this bow and arrow?"
Lu Yun was relieved, but it turned out that it was his bow and arrow that caught the attention of the young man, he said solemnly: "Xiao Ke has been fond of martial arts since he was a child, and his strength is not bad, and he can barely use this iron bow. Along the way, Xiao Ke saw that there are many young warriors practicing bows and arrows on the school grounds all over Dayong, and many people can also use such strong bows.
The black-clothed boy heard Lu Yun's slightly sarcastic tone, implying that he didn't have to make a fuss. He thought to himself, since this Nanchu boy dared to carry a three-stone strong bow for self-defense, it can be seen that he must be very confident in his strength and archery. Dayong boy Although he is good at martial arts, a warrior of this age can use a three-stone strong bow on the school ground. Not as strong as Beiren, but this young man can easily use a three-stone strong bow, which shows that his identity must be unusual. Thinking of this, he said coldly: "I see that your identity is unknown, and it is very likely that you are a spy of Nanchu. You can go back to the house with me for interrogation. If you are really innocent, I will let you go. Ghost, don't blame me for dealing with you."
Lu Yun was secretly startled, but he was also an arrogant person, and said coldly: "This son is a bit arrogant, although Xiao Ke is from a rough background, he also knows what the law is. If you want to detain Xiao Ke, besides, Xiao Ke will come to understand that if the son accuses him indiscriminately, could it be that Dayong treats people from other countries like this?"
The black-clothed boy Jianmei Yixuan said, "You are very good at speaking, but unfortunately you are looking for the wrong person. I am Li Lin, the king of Jiajun, why can't I ask you, are you going with me or I will have someone take care of you? You are taken back to the palace, and if you dare to escape against your order, this prince will order the forbidden army to hunt you down, and then you will not be so polite to you."
Lu Yun was furious and couldn't help clenching his fists. No matter what his identity was, the black-clothed young man was going to take him back to the mansion without any evidence. Isn't he bullying others with power? On second thought, he remembered what the young man had reported himself. His identity turned out to be a county king. Although he didn't know what his identity was, he was undoubtedly a clan. Hearing his tone, although he was suspicious of himself, he was not sure. If he gained his trust, he might have the opportunity to approach him. Hou Jiangzhe of Chu County.
At this time, seeing his angry expression, yet daring to speak out, the young man in yellow clothes softened his heart and said, "Brother Lin, forget it, he's not much older than us, how could he be a spy? Don't you see that the strong bow used by others is powerful, and you are happy to see the hunter, and you want to force him to stay by your side as a bodyguard? past you."
Lu Yun's heart moved, he looked up and saw a suspicious red cloud flashing across the face of the black-clothed boy. He turned his face away and said, "My father and mother won't blame me, anyway, his identity is indeed suspicious."
At this time, the young man in yellow was furious and put his hands on his hips and said, "Li Lin, if you are disobedient like this again, I will go to find Brother Jun and ask him to punish you heavily. If I hadn't asked Brother Jun to let you out, you would be I should accompany Brother Jun to study."
This young man's voice was clear and gentle, although he was scolding with his hips on his hips, but the charming and charming demeanor made Lu Yun feel dizzy, and he couldn't move his eyes any longer. At this time, Li Lin, who was a little discouraged after listening to the boy's scolding, saw Lu Yun's obsessed look at a glance, and his heart was filled with anger, and he whipped Lu Yun fiercely. Taking precautions, the whip slapped his shoulder fiercely, and immediately his clothes were torn and blood splattered, Lu Yun cried out in pain, stretched out his hand to hold the bow arm, and glared at the black-clothed boy. At this time, the guards rushed forward at the same time, and looked at Lu Yun with a stern look. Lu Yun froze in his heart and suppressed his anger: "No matter what kind of prince and prince you are, it is too insulting."
Seeing his angry expression, Li Lin couldn't help feeling uneasy, and he couldn't help feeling that he was a little too much. After all, his companions' appearance and temperament were all the best choices. This Nanchu teenager just took a few more glances, so why should he be angry, but Fang Cai himself was angry for some reason, but no matter how apologetic he was, after all his background and temperament, he couldn't let him bow his head and apologize easily. But at this moment, the young man in yellow saw the blood on Lu Yun's body, and he screamed in shock, and said, "Li Lin, you are going too far, I want Uncle Qi Wang to ban your feet." Then the young man jumped off the mount, He walked to Lu Yun, took out a handkerchief from his arms, and said to Lu Yun, "Don't worry about it, my brother Lin has such a temper. He has no malicious intent." A bottle of wound medicine wrapped the wound for Lu Yun.
Lu Yun was at a loss and couldn't bear to refuse, but a guard approached and said, "Master, let your subordinates help this little brother get hurt." Lu Yun's heart trembled, this boy was actually a little girl, No wonder her appearance is so delicate and delicate, and when she thinks of the guard who called this little girl the princess, she must also be a member of the Dayong royal family. There was confusion in her heart, whether it was panic or disappointment, Lu Yun suddenly pushed the girl in yellow away and scolded: " There's no need for you to cry a mouse." The girl staggered and almost fell when she was pushed. She has been spoiled since she was a child, how could she have been so wronged, if she didn't want to apologize for her stubborn "brother", how could she have wounded this unfamiliar teenager? Unexpectedly, this young man was so rude, he couldn't help but burst into tears for a while. Li Lin originally stood on the side with a cold face, thinking about how to please save him, but when he saw Lu Yun being so rude, he became even more angry, pointed at the whip, and said, "This little thief dares to offend the Zhaohua County Lord, give it to me. Tie him up and take him back to the manor to be punished."
Lu Yun was also feeling guilty that he should not treat the kind girl like this. When he heard what Li Lin said, he only felt like a thunderbolt from the blue sky. Zhaohua County Master, he knew the name. In order to assassinate Jiang Zhe, he secretly read the documents in his father's study before leaving, and knew that the Hou Jiangzhe of Chu County had a righteous daughter named Jiang Roulan, who was very favored by the royal family and was given the title of Zhaohua County Lord. The girl in front of him turned out to be Jiang Zhezhi. Female. That is, his father's little junior sister. Even if he doesn't care about his teacher's status, the girl's father is a traitor to Nanchu, and he is the enemy he wants to assassinate. He also forgot to resist.
At this time, Li Lin shouted at Rou Lan again: "Look, you are so soft-hearted, this little thief is clearly a spy of Nanchu, and the people who are with him, also send me to Jing Zhaoyin, and question them carefully. Let's see if they have any problems?"
At this time, Song Jian and others, who were already complaining in their hearts, had to go forward and plead: "Your Highness, we are all businessmen who obey the law and obey the law. This little brother is really not a spy. I also ask Your Highness for mercy and forgiveness."
Li Lin ignored them with a cold face. The guards looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. One of them took out his horn and was about to send out a warning call to the patrolling guards nearby.
At this time, Rou Lan, who was originally scolded by Li Lin with tears in her eyes, said loudly: "Li Lin, are you finished? If you continue to be like this, I will ignore you again. He was rude to me, why are you now even more humiliating?"
Li Lin was also furious, pointed at Rou Lan and said, "I'm venting my anger for you, but you don't appreciate it, who are you, and if you want to bother so much, is it because they are from Nanchu, so you show mercy, but Don't forget, my uncle is from Nanchu, you are not, you are from Dayong."
When Rou Lan heard the words, she covered her face and burst into tears, and while crying, she said, "You, you are talking nonsense, it is clear that you are unreasonable and like to pretend to be a prince. I don't care about you anymore." After saying that, he got on his horse, and the horse was about to leave. Li Lin panicked, and the horse stopped Rou Lan's way. Down.
At this time, the young man who had been watching coldly by the side said lightly: "Don't be arguing, it's not a big deal, it's not a joke to make a child's temper here. Lan'er, the King of Jiajun also wants to vent his anger for you. I'm angry with you, don't you know the temperament of the prince, as long as this little brother's identity is not a problem, he won't embarrass him casually, and he will be wronged for a few days at most. If you don't have much trouble, the prince won't be so angry ." Rou Lan listened in a daze, and finally bowed her head silently, the anger on her face gradually faded.
The young man said to Li Lin again: "King Jiajun, Lan'er has a good temperament and doesn't like seeing you bullying others. This is why she treats you as a close relative. With so many powerful children in Chang'an, when have you seen so many Rou Lan? Just mind other people's business."
After Li Lin heard this, his expression gradually softened, and he said in a low voice, "Big Brother Huo, it's my fault, I shouldn't be embarrassed by this man." He waved his hand and asked the guard to release Lu Yun.
Lu Yun lightly rubbed the traces of the rope on his wrist, as if he was in a dream. At this moment, the young man surnamed Huo stepped forward and said, "This little brother, although it is a bit too much for the King of Jiajun, you are too arrogant. , Although it is said that a person cannot be without backbone, but you are alone, how can you be self-willed, and besides, my family Laner always treats you with courtesy, you should not take anger on her. Here is twenty taels of silver, to heal your wounds and shocks, you Don't refuse, this is a courtesy and a favor. Since you are looking for relatives in Chang'an, you must have some difficulties. If you have any inconvenience, you can go to the palace of the Princess Changle of Ningguo to find me. My name is Huo Cong, and you may not be able to enter the imperial city. , just tell the message to the guards at Suzakumen."
Lu Yun's mood has calmed down. Although he doesn't know what the identity of this young man is, he is so close to the Zhaohua County Lord, but he calls Li Lin the Prince of the County, and Li Lin is also called his eldest brother. His identity is becoming more and more confusing, but Since he lives in Jiang Zhe's house, Ding has a very deep relationship with the Jiang family, and he has calmed down the quarrel between Li Lin and Jiang Roulan with a few words, and he is also polite and disciplined to himself. If he is malicious, his anger will disappear. As his father said, such a person is really terrible.
He bowed his body and said: "Thank you brother for your teachings, it's also a little ignorant of the world. I have offended the county prince and the county master a lot. I also ask the three to forgive their sins. Yunhui will be in Chang'an for many days. For consultation, even if you are summoned to Xiao Ke, if there is a dispatch, Xiao Ke will definitely serve."
A ray of light flashed in the eyes of the young man surnamed Huo, and he said with a smile, "That's the best." After that, he got on his horse and bowed with a smile. At this time, Li Lin had already rushed away impatiently, and Rou Lan followed closely. , Before leaving, she still smiled at Lu Yun, there were still tears on her face, but this smile bloomed like a spring flower, and she could no longer see the unhappiness of her just now. The boy surnamed Huo and several guards also chased after him on horseback.
Those businessmen who escaped the disaster either complained or persuaded, but Lu Yun didn't take it to heart. At this moment, he was thinking about how to make use of today's chance encounter. These people must all have a close relationship with Jiang Zhe. Li Lin, the king of Jiajun, is a resolute and vicious person at first sight. If he notices something unusual about him, I am afraid that he will be imprisoned and tortured to extract a confession before he has the real evidence. That Huo Cong is probably also a person with deep scheming, not to mention the guards around Jiang Zhe, but these two teenagers have made him very vigilant, but it is Jiang Roulan, the master of Zhaohua County, she is the most favored daughter of heaven. , and being so kind and innocent, he will definitely not be an obstacle to himself, and maybe he can be his help, so that he can find a good opportunity to get close to Jiang Zhe. Thinking like this, Lu Yun suddenly hated himself. When did he become such an insidious person, and he actually wanted to use that girl to assassinate her father.
Regardless of Lu Yun's self-criticism, the three young girls quickly returned to the imperial city. Li Lin only sent Rou Lan to the door of his house and fled without looking back. He didn't want to see Rou Lan in front of him. When he complained, just thinking of his uncle's strange, smiling eyes made him feel chills from the bottom of his heart. Speaking of which, the temperament of this uncle of my own is really strange. Although the uncle of the emperor loves so much, he would rather be sick all the year round and live in seclusion in the cold garden, and often force the uncle and father to seek him for advice, that's all. After all, it was a major military matter, and he didn't bother to pay attention to it. Anyway, he didn't need to worry about it in the future. The only thing that made Li Lin uncomfortable was that this uncle's greatest hobby was bullying his two children, Jiang Roulan and Jiang Shen, and he had been enjoying it for so many years. Now that Lan'er is relying on the queen and the crown prince to support her, she is no longer so troubled. Jiang Shen, he knew from a young age that he would hide in the Floating Cloud Temple and not go home. After the birth, the boy was even more reluctant to go home. It's hateful that my uncle couldn't bully his children, so he took aim at him for some reason. Every time he went to his place, he would find an excuse to make fun of him. This time he was angry with Rou Lan, and he would never let it go. opportunity. Thinking of this, Li Lin wished he had never seen this uncle before. He wondered why he thought that uncle was amiable at first, because he was young and ignorant.
