Chapter 1 Accidental Meeting(1/2)

Last night, I suddenly found that the situation in the new book monthly ticket list was critical and I couldn’t sleep anymore. I got up and typed again. Today I would like to give you a surprise, and everyone can also give Lao Gao a surprise!

















In the outer room of Yang Zhao's ward, Yang Yuanqing sat together with several guard leaders, waiting for the doctor to check it out.

On the small table in front of them, they placed a copper plate, and two poisonous arrows were placed in the plate. The arrow feathers were made of high-quality wild duck feathers, and were trimmed very neatly. Under the light, the tips of the arrows were flashing bright green light.

Yang Yuanqing stared at the poisoned arrow in the plate, but the figure of the female assassin appeared in his mind. The feeling was really familiar. Yang Yuanqing couldn't believe it and didn't want to think too much. He closed his eyes and shook his head, throwing away the figure of the female assassin in his mind.

He took out the cold jade bow that Alatu gave him from his arms, and touched the arrow tip. The originally crystal white jade bow also turned into the same green as the arrow tip, which was indeed highly poisonous.

"Brother Yu, do you think this was done by King Qi?" Xue Wanche, among the Xue brothers, asked.

Yu Qingsi shook his head, "It's possible, but I can't explain clearly, what about Yuan Qing?"

Yu Qingsi glanced at Yang Yuanqing and found that Yang Yuanqing was a little distracted.

"The King of Qi is 30% possible!"

Yang Yuanqing has recovered from distraction, and his thoughts have returned to this assassination. Although the King of Qi is the biggest suspect, judging from the performance of King of Qi today, it is unlikely that Yang Yuanqing believes that it is him.

But it cannot be ruled out that the performance of King Qi today is a deliberate disguise, with the purpose of getting rid of suspicion. If King Qi has a master under him, he might have adopted this strategy. However, based on King Qi's recent performance, his master should not have such masters of strategy. Instead of assassinating and fighting for the throne, it is better to compete for the throne from a political perspective, so he believes that the possibility of King Qi is only 30%.

"It may also be someone with ulterior motives who provoke an infight between the two princes."

Yu Qingsi nodded. In fact, he also thought that it was unlikely that it was King Qi. He followed King Jin every day. He knew that King Qi had many opportunities to kill King Jin. Compared to the assassination of last night, King Qi actually had a better chance.

"But Your Highness doesn't allow us to make this statement. How can we explain to the Lord?"

This is what Yu Qingsi is most worried about. If King Jin was assassinated and could not be reported, he would be guilty of deceiving the emperor.

At this time, the doctor walked out of the inner room. The doctor's surname was Zhao, and he was an imperial doctor in the palace, who was responsible for the body of King Jin. Everyone hurriedly surrounded him, "How is your Highness?"

Although King Jin avoided the assassination, his face was still a little bit broken and he fainted later. This was a poisonous arrow, which made everyone very worried.

Doctor Zhao smiled and said, "I have checked that Your Highness is not poisoned. The wound on his face is scratched by the edge of the table and a little bit of wood chips."

"But he fainted."

"Oh! He fainted because he was too fat and would faint if he was too nervous. Now he was well."

Doctor Zhao sighed and said to Yang Yuanqing again: "Your Highness invites you in!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Yang Yuanqing nodded to the others and quickly walked into the inner room.

The room was filled with strong smell of medicine. King Yang Zhao of Jin was lying on a wide bed, and his complexion had completely returned to normal. He was covered with clothes and only had a thin quilt. Next to him was his wife, Princess Liu.

Seeing Yang Yuanqing come in, Princess Liu quickly got up and bowed deeply, "Thank you General Yang for saving King Jin's life!"

Yang Yuanqing hurriedly returned the gift, "I dare not do it for a humble position!"

Yang Zhao smiled and waved his hand, "Princess, don't thank him. If the arrow shot him, I will push him."

Princess Liu turned around and glared at her husband. How could she speak to her benefactor like this? Yang Zhao smiled distractedly, "I'm a little hungry. Make me a bowl of bird's nest, add less sugar, and add three red dates."

Yang Yuanqing couldn't help laughing. He found that Yang Zhao's princely airs were pretending, but in fact he was a very simple and interesting person at heart.

Princess Liu knew that her husband was taking her away, so she turned around and waited for her wife to leave, Yang Zhao immediately said: "This assassination will not be done by King Qi."

"But Your Highness, no matter whether it was done by King Qi or not, this is a chance." Yang Yuanqing reminded him.

Yang Zhao was silent for a long time and shook his head, "He is my brother. If it weren't for his actions, I wouldn't be wronged. I don't want him to repeat the mistakes of his uncles."

"What if it was done by the subordinates of the King of Qi without authorization?" Yang Yuanqing said slowly.

Yang Zhao still shook his head, "Although there is this possibility, what happened tonight has made him hopeless to win the Eastern Palace. This is enough. I don't want him to be imprisoned by his father for life because of the assassination."

Yang Yuanqing sighed secretly, why did this King of Jin fall out at a critical moment? He wanted to persuade him again, but King of Jin had already yawned tiredly, and Yang Yuanqing's heart became tired. He suddenly felt very disappointed with King of Jin.

Since the King of Jin was determined to admit that it was his brother who wanted to assassinate him, Yang Yuanqing didn't want to say anything more. In fact, he didn't want to care about the struggles between their brothers. If King Qi hadn't hurt him repeatedly, he wouldn't have dealt with King Qi. At this time, Yang Yuanqing no longer wanted to do anything more.

He asked again: "How do you plan to deal with the aftermath?"

"I don't want to alarm my father in this matter."

Yang Yuanqing nodded, "Okay then! Let's strengthen the guard."

"The guardian power is not a big problem, but I lack a staff member. Can you recommend a few capable people for me?"

Yang Yuanqing pondered for a moment and said, "I recommend someone to Your Highness, named Li Mi. Does Your Highness know this person?"

"Duke of Pushan County, I know that he was originally a palace guard, but now he is studying in a closed door."

Yang Yuanqing actually wanted to recommend Li Jing, but Li Jing is now his grandfather's aide, and his grandfather may not be willing to let him go. More importantly, the King of Jin disappointed him. He did not want to recommend Li Jing to him, so he turned to recommend Li Mi.

"Your Highness might as well talk to him, and use him if you think it's good."

"Okay! I'll give it a try."





















The next morning, Yang Yuanqing returned to Yang's mansion. His carry-on horse bag was left in the Yang's mansion, which contained a gift for his aunt and Niu Niu.

He did not go to the main gate to enter the Yang Mansion. At this time, except for the Yang Mansion officials who attended court, the rest of the Yang Mansion family basically concentrated in the front and middle courtyards. Yang Yuanqing entered the Yang Mansion from the west gate. He did not disturb anyone, and directly took the horse bag from his room and left the Yang Mansion from the west gate.

The West Outer Courtyard was where he lived for seven years, and it was the first time Yang Yuanqing came here after he came back. The West Outer Courtyard was very quiet, and most of the doors were closed. Now it was the day to harvest and settle accounts after autumn. Yang Su had more than 100 hectares of fertile land in Guanzhong area, and most of the tribesmen went to the manor to help.

Yang Yuanqing walked past the small courtyard where he lived. The collapsed kitchen had been renovated and the two main rooms were renovated. However, it seemed that no one lived there. The items piled up in the yard were like seven years ago. The fire stove used by my aunt, the wooden barrels for washing clothes, and the large dustpan for Niu Niu to practice swords were all piled in the corners of the wall, covered with dust.

The apricot trees in the yard have grown beyond the roof and are as tall as a cover, but the traces on the trunk are still preserved. They are the marks left when he practiced the sword technique when he was a child.

These things touched Yang Yuanqing's heartstrings and filled his heart with memories of the past. Yang Yuanqing sighed and was about to leave, suddenly, a girl in red dress walked out of her aunt's room. The big red striped long skirt was extremely dazzling in the sun.

She wore her double rings of the moon-looking bun, and her skin was as white as jade. The extremely familiar feeling made Yang Yuanqing stunned like a thunder strike.

"Brother Yuanqing!" The girl also saw him and screamed in surprise.

"Niu Niu, is it you?" Yang Yuanqing seemed to be in a dream. He couldn't believe what he saw. The girl in the yard was the sister he had been thinking about day and night. His Niu Niu was back!

Niu Niu threw away the basin in her hand, rushed out of the courtyard like a gust of wind, and threw herself into his arms, like a deer that had worked hard to find her relatives.

The tears in Yang Yuanqing's eyes couldn't help but flow out. He stroked Niu Niu's braids, and the ecstasy, excitement and an indescribable emotion filled his heart.

He slowly held Niu Niu's shoulder and looked down at her. Her Niu Niu had grown up and grew up to be a beautiful girl. She was slim and tall, only half a head shorter than him. Her eyes were filled with autumn water, her eyes were clear, her nose was as jade as her nose tip was slightly upturned, bringing her naughty obedient as she was when she was a child.

Niu Niu was embarrassed by his eyes, so she raised her hand and punched him on the shoulder. Starry eyes said angrily: "Damn cow head, forget me and my mother!"

"No!"

Yang Yuanqing wiped away the tears in the corner of his eyes, shook his head and smiled, "When did I forget you? I'll look for you as soon as I came back, but you disappeared. For this reason, I'll go to settle the score with He Ruo's family."

Niu Niu smiled and gave him a blank look, "I heard about the He Ruo family on the way, and I thought to myself, could it be Brother Yuanqing who came back to avenge us? Sure enough, yes! You are quite conscientious."

Niu Niu is still wearing a double ring-looking moon bun, which is a sign that the girl has not gotten married, which makes Yang Yuanqing feel extremely happy, "Let's go to the yard to talk!"

He took Niu Niu's hand and walked into the yard. Niu Niu's face suddenly turned red. She secretly pulled out her jade hand from his hand. She pointed to the cottage where Yang Yuanqing lived, "I want to go in and take a look, but the door is locked. Do you have a key?"

"No!"

Yang Yuanqing suddenly remembered an important matter and asked, "Niu Niu, where is Auntie, are you back with you?"

Niu Niu shook her head, "Mom is very busy now, she can't leave. I came back with my grandmother and arrived in the capital yesterday morning."

"What are your aunts busy with now? And who is your grandma?"

Niu Niu pulled him to sit down on the stone mill. She sighed softly, "A lot of things have happened over the years. I will tell you slowly in the future. My mother has adopted many orphans in the Nanhua Palace in Hengshan, where there are hundreds of people. The palace people can't take care of them. My mother is just helping. The owner of Nanhua Palace is my grandmother, my mother's little aunt, and our only relative in our hometown. She is not an ordinary person. She was the empress of the Chen Dynasty."

"What is Nanhua Palace?"

Yang Yuanqing frowned. He felt like an orphanage, but it seemed that he was not. Moreover, his aunt was actually in Hengshan, so how could he find him?

"Nanhua Palace was originally called Hengfu Palace. It was a palace built by the Emperor of the Chen Dynasty to escape the summer heat in Hengshan. After the fall of the Chen Dynasty, it became a place where my aunt cultivated Buddhism and recuperated. My aunt was compassionate and adopted many orphans of the ministers and generals of the Chen Dynasty. In the past four years, I have been learning art there. My master is called Hualian Layman, and he used to be my aunt's maid."
