Liu Jin walked towards Eunuch Guo, and two Yulin guards immediately followed him. Apparently they had been ordered to protect little Liu Jin personally.
Eunuch Guo said calmly in a high-pitched voice: "The eldest princess has ordered that only Liu Jin be brought to the audience, and everyone else should stay away." After saying that, he turned around, flicked his fly whisk, and walked away.
"You don't have to follow me." Liu Jin called back the Yulin Guards. As a child, naturally he would not feel that such danger was hidden in this beautiful spring moment.
Liu Jin followed Eunuch Guo carelessly, heading eastward one after the other.
Princess Yi came over, frowned slightly, and said softly: "Is this Liu Jin?"
Xue Poye held his bow and arrow tightly, looked at his retreating figure, and asked, "Don't you know him? He is the direct grandson of Prince Qian."
"I heard that Prince Qian's grandson is named Liu Jin. But I haven't seen him yet, so it turns out he is." Princess Yi also looked at the background of Liu Jin's departure and sighed: "I heard that the mother of this child arrived very early. Damn it."
"Oh!" Xue Poye frowned and said, "The Crown Princess?"
Princess Yi shook her head and said: "This matter was not allowed to be mentioned a few years ago. Even now, I'm afraid not many people know about it. Liu Jin only entered the palace when he was two years old." Looking around, Xue did not hide anything. Po Ye said in a low voice: "I heard that Liu Jin is the illegitimate son of the prince's prince who is away from home. He was originally nameless and had no status. However, the prince's concubine never gave birth to a child, so he took her back to the palace. The prince loved her very much, and so did the prince's concubine. Treat it as your own."
Xue Poye was startled and murmured: "Illegitimate child?"
Seeing Xue Poye's strange expression, Princess Yi asked softly: "Master, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable? I'll ask the imperial doctor to take a look at you."
Xue Poye shook his head and said: "I'm fine. By the way, your strength has improved a lot. It's very good. If you work harder and can lift fifty kilograms of weight, we will start formal archery training."
Princess Yi was very happy.
Although Xiao Shitou was walking his horse, Xue Poye did not go over to talk. The master-disciple relationship between himself and Xiao Shitou was a secret one, and it was not easy to reveal it in front of others. Speaking of which, Xiao Shitou turned out to be very smart. Although the master But he didn't show any excitement or other expressions. He was calm and composed, as if he didn't recognize him. Xue Poye saw this and felt that this man had a deep temperament and was very scheming.
Eunuch Guo led Liu Jin through the flower-filled garden.
"Are you a eunuch in the palace?" Liu Jin asked loudly from behind: "I am rare. There are many guards in my palace, but not eunuchs. I heard that people like you are missing something."
Eunuch Guo's face twitched and his arms moved stiffly, but in the end he gave a vague hum.
"What do you want me to ask you?" Liu Jin grabbed Eunuch Guo's lapel and chuckled, "Let me see?"
Eunuch Guo broke free from his hand and said sharply: "Liu Jin, our family is taking you to see the eldest princess. We can't delay. If you delay, I will die, but you will also be guilty."
Liu Jin curled his lips and said disdainfully: "Don't scare me with the emperor's aunt. Grandpa said that the emperor's aunt has a good temper and will definitely not blame me. This time when I came to Liuheyuan, it was the emperor's aunt who invited me to play. How could there be any blame? My truth."
Eunuch Guo frowned and walked forward faster.
Not far away, you can see the majestic Chong Pavilion, with high floors, surrounded by palaces, a shaded area, green pines, jade railings, golden beast faces, and colorful heads.
A jade-faced archway appeared directly in front, with an exquisite dragon and a wind-shaped dragon on it, and the words "Chanjuan Garden" were engraved on it!
Although there were always spies lurking in the dark along the way, when they actually arrived at the Chanjuan Garden where the eldest princess temporarily lived, the surrounding security was much weaker. Even though there were several Yulin Guards guarding them, everyone knew that
The real warning is in the outer courtyard behind the archway, where there is the old monster Eunuch Qin.
"Is the imperial aunt inside?" Liu Jin stared at the tall jade archway and asked Eunuch Guo.
Eunuch Guo looked at the Jade Arch and moved his arm again. At this moment, a Yulin guard came out from behind the Jade Arch, holding a spear in his hand.
He came out very unexpectedly, as if he had been ambushing behind the archway.
"Are you Liu Jin?" Yu Linwei said coldly: "Are you a boy?"
Liu Jin was startled and opened his mouth. Seeing the fierce look of this Yulin Guard, he couldn't help but said: "Ah, I...I am Liu Jin!"
Yu Linwei nodded and said: "Okay!" He suddenly raised his spear, threw it out, and stabbed Liu Jin alive.
This unexpected turn of events was completely unexpected, and they were so close. The spear was about to pierce Liu Jin right before his eyes.
Liu Jin was so frightened that he couldn't move. His face turned pale in an instant. He watched helplessly as the spear was stabbed. He had no intention of hiding. Even Eunuch Guo beside him seemed to be frightened and motionless.
Although there were many strong Yulin guards around him, this turn of events was something that no one had ever thought about. Even if they wanted to save him, it was too late. It seemed that Liu Jin was really going to die under this shot.
Or maybe Liu Jin couldn't imagine why such a powerful assassin appeared behind the jade archway.
His spear was thrown powerfully, but his heart was even stronger. He determined the target and struck without hesitation without giving it much thought. Even after stabbing Liu Jin to death, he seemed to have not given up on the fact that he himself would be buried with him.
In the heart.
Of course, he could not escape intact after stabbing Liu Jin to death. If he assassinated Liu Jin before the eldest princess's chamber, the result would be death.
"choke"!
There was a sound of metal hitting.
A bat-like figure landed lightly in front of Liu Jin. His black robe was like wings, and he easily withstood the spear. In the critical moment, he actually saved Liu Jin.
…
"Jia Dao was born on Lung Ya Island." Ding Yi, the commander of the Yulin Guards, stood in the hall and said carefully: "His uncle served in the Bazhou camp for thirteen years and was appointed as the former military commander. Jia Dao was ten years old.
He joined the army at the age of three. By the time he was twenty-three, he was already the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army and won the support of the soldiers. Six years ago, when he was twenty-seven, the Yulin camp expanded to 500 people. He was admitted as an exception and became the Yulin Guard.
This time when the princess went on patrol, when the Yulin Guard mobilized troops, she was appointed as the deputy commander of the escort army to protect the princess under my command."
Having said this, Ding Yi had a lot of sweat on his forehead.
"Bazhou?" Princess Liu frowned.
The bat man was already sitting next to Eunuch Qin. Although most of his face was covered, part of his green beard was still exposed, and his wide mouth was deeply sunk.
His whole person exuded an extremely strange smell.
"Bazhou is too poor and no one wants that place." The batman said hoarsely.
"According to what you said, Jia Dao has no background and has nothing to do with those people. Why did he assassinate Liu Jin?" The eldest princess stared at Ding Yi and said slowly: "Although I know there are nails around me, I also know
The archway is the weakest point and the best place to start, but I didn't expect that it was Jia Dao who was led out." She sighed again and said softly: "You guys are really giving me a headache."
Eunuch Qin suddenly said: "Although Jia Dao cannot tell who is behind, they have already taken action."
"You said that they will make moves in the light and in the dark. Maybe this is their move in the dark." The eldest princess still had a slight smile on her face.
"This is just the beginning." Eunuch Qin said in a low voice: "Jia Dao is just the introduction, and the real action has just begun."
"In such a beautiful courtyard, why do you bring these conspiracy and assassination here?" The eldest princess frowned, looking like a sick Xizi, and said softly: "Jia Dao's body is still buried."
Ding Yi agreed, looking at the batman with a hint of awe from the corner of his eye.
The moment Jia Dao missed, he immediately broke his own neck. The ferocity was still shocking, but the bat-man appeared out of thin air, and Jia Dao's one-shot shot failed, which was also shocking.
The Batman pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Jingli already knows that the princess will not go back, so he can only take action here. I think the nails they planted around the princess will slowly emerge."
"I just hope that nothing happens to him." The eldest princess said quietly with a hint of rosy on her face.
The bat man said respectfully: "Princess, please rest assured about matters in Beijing. I will guarantee the safety of Ling Si's consort." He knew that the "him" mentioned by the eldest princess must be the consort, her husband and Princess Yi.
's father.
"Then it's all your fault." The eldest princess glanced at the bat-man and said softly: "I'm not worried about anyone knowing your whereabouts, but you must go back now. Without you in Kyoto, my heart will never be at ease."
The Batman stood up, bowed, and then left like a ghost.
After Ding Yi also went out, the eldest princess sighed: "We want to use this trick to draw out nails, but they are not doing testing. Maybe they already know that with Jia Dao, it is impossible to do any harm to Liu Jin
, but they still did it, do you think they also want something?"
"They want to see if there is anyone else around you who can protect you besides me." Eunuch Qin immediately replied.
The eldest princess changed her posture, still graceful, and sighed: "Then they succeeded."
"Although they don't know who the bat is, they know that there is a bat around you." Eunuch Qin said slowly: "So they will be more cautious in the future, and they will definitely hit with one hit."
"Are you saying that the bat came out too late?" The eldest princess stared at Eunuch Qin.
Eunuch Qin shook his head: "He didn't know in advance that we were setting the trap to draw out the nails, and he didn't know that I had already made preparations. He just wanted to rescue Liu Jin. No wonder he." He paused and coughed.
After making two noises, he said: "Actually, this is not a bad thing. At least they will be very afraid of this place. Some things that should not be done will not be done easily. On the contrary, it will save a lot of trouble."
The eldest princess suddenly took out a letter from her arms, took out the paper with not much writing on it, looked at it briefly, then handed it to Eunuch Qin, and said lazily: "We are going to add people to the outer post, I will clear it soon.
Those nails hurt my whole body."
Eunuch Qin took the note and there were only two words on it: "Don't move"!
This is a secret decree, a secret decree conveyed by His Majesty the Emperor through bats through a secret passage.
His Majesty the Emperor has given the eldest princess the clearest instructions, so the eldest princess will continue to stay in Liuheyuan with peace of mind and will not be affected by any factors. The purpose is only to protect the boy, remove all internal and external obstacles, and finally hand it over to His Majesty the Emperor.
A complete child.
Although the wind and waves are surging in the dark here, the eldest princess and Eunuch Qin understand that in Kyoto surrounded by thick and simple city walls, the wind and waves are greater than here.
This secret decree soon turned into ashes in the palm of Eunuch Qin's hand.
"By the way, I almost forgot about someone." The eldest princess chuckled: "That Xue Shitou seems to have been very unhappy these past two days. Could it be that the delicious food and drinks here can't keep him here."
Eunuch Qin said nothing.
The eldest princess continued: "He seemed to have helped you that day."
Eunuch Qin nodded seriously: "If it hadn't been for his three arrows, I think I would have been injured."
In an invisible duel at Nanyumen, Xue Poye shot three arrows in total. One arrow was controlled by Xuanyang Lao Dao, and the other was controlled by Qin Eunuch. It became a confrontation. Xue Poye's three arrows were like a scale weighing two.
While looking for two identical items, something was placed on one of the items, causing the balance to break. Xuanyang was disturbed by sharp arrows and lost to Eunuch Qin.
There is no doubt that Old Dao Xuanyang must have suffered more or less internal injuries in that battle, but without Xue Poye's arrow, it is really unclear who would have died. Perhaps Eunuch Qin would have suffered a huge blow in the end, and from some kind of
From a perspective, Xue Poye really helped Eunuch Qin.
"He is very courageous and has good archery skills. Although he may not be a great talent, I think he can still do something." The eldest princess said thoughtfully.
The palace lanterns began to be lit, and the golden and jade carved beams shone brightly.
"Xue Shitou, little stones!" the eldest princess chuckled: "It turns out there are so many stones in the yard."
It turns out that she also knew that Xiao Shitou and Xue Poye came together.
Of course she knows!
After all, she is the master of this place now, and she will definitely know some things that need to be known. Even if some things are hidden in the dark and unknown for a while, as long as they are under her eyes, they will slowly surface.
This assassination incident was like a gust of wind, coming and going quickly. Because the eldest princess deliberately kept it secret, the news was not leaked, and few people knew about it.
The person involved, Liu Jin, was so frightened that he fell ill. He was lying on the bed sweating and trembling. This experience may make his personality more restrained in the future.
Even Xue Poye didn't know that there was an assassination incident in front of the Jade Archway in Chanjuan Garden.
Although Xiao Shitou knew from Xiao Shitou that Liu Jin suddenly fell ill and had slurred speech, and that he was treated by imperial doctors every day under the personal supervision of Ding Yi, the commander of Yulin Camp, he did not expect that Liu Jin almost died.
In this world, even around him, things were always happening that he couldn't believe and couldn't imagine.
Fortunately, he can face anything.
Just like Xiao Shitou sat in front of him tonight and smoothly ran through the Qi and blood flow in the book of ecstasy. He was shocked at first, then surprised, then calm, and finally he bravely accepted it.
He accepted a very absurd reality.
What the eleven-year-old Xiao Shitou could not do on his own did it easily.
"Master, I don't have a stomachache like you said." Xiao Shitou said seriously: "Did you see it wrong?"
Xue Poye looked thoughtful and asked: "Then you practiced Qi according to the book of ecstasy, and what was your reaction?"
"It's very comfortable." Xiao Shitou said about his experience: "Every time I run it, it's like taking a bath. Well, it's just very comfortable. It's like all the dirty things on my body have been washed away."
Xue Poye said to himself: "Is this a bathing exercise?" Of course it was a joke, so he closed the doors and windows and let the little stone get lucky again.
This time Xiao Shitou practiced in a very standardized way.
Xue Poye looked at Xiao Shitou's skin and turned pale when he was lucky, and a red bright spot appeared clearly in front of Xiao Shitou's clothes, flying around Xiao Shitou's body like clueless flies.
Of course, Xue Poye knew that this was not a seemingly random run around. The routes that the red dots followed were all drawn by the spider web-like meridians and luck on the page of the book of ecstasy.
After a week of luck, Xiao Shitou was dripping with sweat, as if he had taken a bath, and his face was much rosy, looking like a newborn baby.
Xue Poye sighed: "It seems that this booklet is specially designed for you. Not only does it require your blood to display the pictures, but even the Qi training methods described in it can only be practiced by you. You must cherish it."
"
"Master, you practice again." Xiao Shitou handed the booklet to Xue Poye and said with great expectation: "Maybe it will be done today."
Xue Poye was deeply moved by Xiao Shitou's generosity. He handed such a treasure to himself without hesitation. The child must have placed great trust in him.
"Little Shitou, this is something your parents left for you, so you have to cherish it. I think your parents don't want something like this to fall into the hands of others." Xue Poye said sternly.
Xiao Shitou shook his head and said: "Master, if you don't practice, I won't practice either." He looked very stubborn and determined.
Xue Poye knew that this child was a capable person, so he was really embarrassed. After all, this was someone else's property. It would be quite inappropriate for him to practice it, but looking at Xiao Shitou's appearance, it would be fine if you don't practice it.
He looked like he wasn't practicing, so he could only say: "Actually, it's not that the master doesn't practice. Maybe you are the only one who can practice this Kung Fu. If I practice this Kung Fu, it might backfire and hurt my body."
Little Shitou rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Master, you practice first, I have a method."
"What method?"
"You put your luck first." Xiao Shitou's eyes flickered, as if he had really thought of something.
Xue Poye had no choice but to sit upright and press the blood line on the paper to move the trace of Qi in his body. It was smooth at first, but when he saw the Qi moving to his lower abdomen again, the burning sensation hit him again, he had to stop.
, I suddenly felt a cold feeling in my lower abdomen, and the burning sensation stopped for a moment. Just like this, the true energy actually rushed through, and the subsequent lines followed the blood line smoothly. In less than half an hour, a
Zhou Tian actually shipped it completely.
Xue Poye felt as if he had been reborn, and his whole body felt refreshed. That sense of relaxation seemed to enter every pore in his body, and he was extremely wet. His whole body was stained with sweat, and it really felt like he had taken a bath.dd
