Chapter 104 Late Night Secret

The night is stained with colorful fireworks blooming all over the sky, and the dazzling fireworks are fleeting like flowers, which is why they look extremely sad and eye-catching.

In the stone bridge painting, Ling Yue stood by the window with a cattail fan in her hand, watching the fireworks rise and bloom, and finally turned into ashes and fell into the trickling river.

"Do you like it?" Xia Wuchen held a pot of sake and stood beside Ling Yue.

The fan shakes gently, bringing out a seemingly orchid fragrance. Ling Yue turned her head slightly and smiled: "I hate it."

"Eh? Why? The fireworks here are not even comparable to Linyun.

"Hate is hate. What's the reason? It's like Ouyang Wan hates mushrooms and is afraid of spiders. I, Ling Yue, just don't like fireworks.

"What do you like?" Xia Wuchen thought that any woman would definitely be intoxicated by the night of the stone bridge and fireworks, but he did not expect that Ling Yue would simply say the word "hate" directly.

"Gold."

Xia Wuchen's head suddenly roared: "Gold?"

Ling Yue's head nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Yes, gold, gold, gold. So don't take me to see fireworks next time, and don't recite any broken poems of spring and autumn to me. I will feel a toothache.

“......”

"What's wrong with you?"

"I... I just think..."

"Do you think I'm powerful?"

"I'm just curious why you like gold?"

Ling Yue clenched her fist in her right hand and hit Xia Wuchen's heart: "You don't have a backache when you stand and talk."

"Where does it hurt when I stand and talk?"

"You are a prince, so you never have to worry about money, so how can you know the difficulties of ordinary people like us? Your father is the largest official in the world and the richest person in the world. He dares to occupy this rich second generation and second generation of officials for you.

Xia Wuchen frowned and said, "Father is not the richest person in the world."

"Eh? Who has more money than the emperor?

"Emperor Shu, Emperor Jin, Emperor Chu. This world is not the world of his father alone, and Shen Haoran is the richest person in the world.

" Shen Haoran, I will forget this if you don't say it." Ling Yue saw Pu Fan resting on the table and holding his chin, "Wuchen, where do you think Shen Haoran's lifelong treasure is hidden?"

"I don't know this, but it is said that his lifelong treasure is hidden in the Qingsong welcome picture, but since you are not the real Murong Lingyue, naturally you don't know what the picture looks like." Xia Wuchen said, "Why did you suddenly remember to ask this?"

Ling Yue opened her eyes wide: "How can you allow huge treasures to sleep underground?" This is simply a crime, a crime.

"There's nothing you can do. Since you are not Murong Lingyue, you can't draw a picture of Qingsong to welcome guests. What else can you do without sleeping underground?"

"It's illogical." Ling Yue said, "Shen Haoran is a rich businessman. Why did he hide his life's treasures in one place? As a businessman, capital flow is the most important. If he hid his lifelong wealth before he died, it means that he had expected that he would die, so he prepared in advance. But according to Shen Haoran's financial resources, since he knew that someone wanted to kill him, he must be able to avoid it safely, but isn't it strange that he still died like this in the end?

Xia Wuchen subconsciously nodded: "It does make some sense for your analysis. Although Shen Haoran died at the hands of Tang Sect in Shu, the real murderer behind the scenes is not Tang Sect. But so far, the only clue about the behind-the-scenes murderer is a piece of red jade.

"Ping?" Ling Yue smiled and said, "That's one of my favorite mythical beasts."

"Do you like it?"

"Yes, I can only go in and out. But what does Shen Haoran's death have to do with Hongyu?

"I'm not sure about this. It's just that there is such a clue."

I saw a flash of cold light, and the cold air slipped across my cheeks. Xia Wuchen grabbed Ling Yue and took a few steps back. I don't know when two people in black with sharp swords jumped through the window.

"Who are you?" Xia Wuchen asked harshly and blocked Ling Yue behind him.

Two men in black looked at each other and suddenly knelt on the ground and said in a low voice, "I would like to say hi to Your Highness." The shrill voice undoubtedly showed that the two were palace men.

"Who the hell are you?"

"When I returned to my master, I was ordered by the emperor to ask His Royal Highness and Princess Qing to return to the palace immediately."

"Should I go back to the palace immediately?"

"Yes, the emperor secretly aimed for this."

Xia Wuchen received the brocade embroidered with Kowloon patterns: "This is indeed the father's handwriting, but why do you..."

"To reply to His Royal Highness, I was only ordered to act. Please return to the palace with me immediately."

Ling Yue leaned sideways and took a few steps closer: "Immediately? So in such a hurry?"

"When I returned to the princess, the emperor ordered that after seeing the two, I would immediately return to the palace without delay."

"Looking that you are wet, you must have been in the water for a long time. Since the emperor's will is in such a hurry, are you two still in the mood to watch the fireworks in the water?

The two men in black immediately bowed their heads: "To the princess, I did this completely in the emperor's will. The emperor specifically told him not to disturb anyone, especially Lord Jiang, when he asked His Highness and Princess Qing to return to the palace.

"Jiang Mozhu?" Ling Yue frowned slightly.

"Exactly, that's why I didn't dare to act rashly and had to stay under the water to find an opportunity. Make sure that only the seventh highness and the princess dare to come in.

Xia Wuchen leaned behind him with one hand and muttered, "Ling Yue, let's go back to the palace."

"Eh? Now?" Ling Yue hesitated, "Even if you don't inform Jiang Mozhu, at least let me inform Liu Ye."

"Please forgive me, princess. The emperor said that no one can know."

As soon as the words fell, a dark shadow flashed outside the window and fell to the ground silently. Liu Ye stood in the painting with a cold face: "I already know."

A trace of shock flashed in the eyes of the two men in black, but then lowered their heads and said obediently, "In this case, please return to the palace with me immediately."

"Okay, go back to the palace immediately." Xia Wuchen looked up and drank all the sake in the wine pot. At that moment, Ling Yue saw a burning flame in his eyes, which was enough to burn everything.

The night is like ink, and the horse is getting farther and farther away. Four horses are running wildly in the night.

"Why don't we take the waterway?" Ling Yue, sitting behind the horse, asked, "Isn't it faster to take the waterway?"

"It's true that it's faster to take the waterway, but my father wants to avoid Jiang Mozhu, so he can't take the waterway." Xia Wuchen replied.

"Why?"

"This waterway is not under the jurisdiction of local governments, and it is not easy to deal with anything. And there are relevant cards between every town on land. In case something happens, as long as two identities, local officials will naturally help deal with it.

"So that's it. Why did the emperor call us back to the palace in such a hurry?"

"I usually see you in a hurry. Why can't you figure it out at this time? Previously, Jiang Mozhu said that the emperor had five purposes for us to send us to the Cang Kingdom. First, to force the queen to death. Second, to get rid of the children in Dugulan's belly. Third, to create a gap between me and His Royal Highness. Fourth, to deal with the military power in Dugu Hegemony's hands. Fifth, to find out the true identity of the dean and kill the dean. As the first three have been done now, only the fourth and fifth articles are left. Jiang Mozhu should be responsible for dealing with the military power in the hands of Duguba and Ke Wu, and he is also responsible for detecting the real identity of the dean and killing the dean. So I think the problem should be on this." Xia Wuchen paused and then said, "Neither of these two needs our participation, so we can naturally go back to the palace."

"That's right, but why are you in such a hurry?"

"I don't know about this. My father has a reason for my father." Xia Wuchen said.

"I still feel strange. I always have a feeling of being cheated." Ling Yue turned her head and looked at Liu Ye, "What do you think of Liu Ye?"

Liu Ye did not answer, but just rode forward.

"Ah..." Ling Yue suddenly screamed, "flowing night, wake up, flowing night..."

Xia Wuchen looked at the night when he heard the sound, which made him stand up with cold hair all over his body. Liu Ye held the reins and rode the horse forward. But those eyes were closed, and it was clear that he was asleep: "He fell asleep."

"The night." Ling Yue roared with all her strength.

But after shouting for a long time, Liu Ye still looked peaceful.

"Bad..." Xia Wuchen's face suddenly changed greatly and he saw a dead tree fall across the road. It is one meter high

"Night, wake up quickly. There are trees in front and trees in front." Ling Yue shouted anxiously.

As soon as Ling Yue finished shouting, Liu Ye's slender wrist turned gently, and the horse immediately ran wildly. Then, the angry horse raised its hoofs and stepped over the dead tree that fell across the middle of the road.

The two black slaves were also stunned and looked sideways at the night.

Xia Wuchen took a deep breath and said quietly, "Ling Yue, is he really sleeping?"

"It should be, maybe it's practicing." Ling Yue's hanging heart fell a little and said, "Luan Ye said that he was practicing when he was sleeping, so I guess he is practicing now."

The east gradually exposed the white fish belly, and the morning light broke through the clouds and sprinkled the first ray of sunshine.

Liu Ye breathed a breath and looked at the sky with sleepy eyes: "Well, it's dawn." Dong- Liuye only felt a pain in his forehead. He saw Ling Yue looking at himself angrily and couldn't help wondering, "Sister, why did you hit me with silver?"

"It was you. What did you sleep last night? Don't you know it's dangerous to sleep while riding a horse?"

"I didn't sleep." Liu Ye frowned.

"What did you do with your eyes closed if you didn't sleep? He still has a peaceful face.

"I'm practicing." The night is right.

"Practice?"

"Close your eyes and rely on internal forces to identify the surrounding environment. If you open your eyes, your attention will be distracted and you can't practice well. Liu Ye said, "This is a practice method that I suddenly found when I hid under the water yesterday, because I can't see anything underwater at night. If someone sneaks, he will definitely die."

The two people in black were stunned. They always thought that the reason why Liuye appeared in the painting was that they were seen by Liuye when they entered the painting, but they did not expect that Liuye had been monitoring them.
