Chapter 40 Yu Yaoer’s Tracking
On the way back home, Bi Yuntao suddenly asked: "Ruo Lang, besides gambling houses and brothels, aren't there any other interesting places in our capital?"
Meng Ruolang pondered for a moment and said: "There is still a hunting ground where you can hunt, but it is closed now."
Bi Yuntao raised his eyebrows, feeling very interested, "Hunting ground? It sounds interesting, but it's a pity that it's closed, otherwise you can go and have fun."
"Brother, there will be a competition before the year before, to see how many prey you can hunt. Then you can play hard and it will be open for one day."
"Oh? That's good..." "Brother, be careful!" Meng Ruolang suddenly warned and pulled Bi Yuntao aside.
"Whoosh!" A sharp arrow shot out and scratched Bi Yuntao's sleeve. Fortunately, Meng Ruolang noticed it in advance and pulled himself. Otherwise, Bi Yuntao would have been a corpse at this time.
In the distant woods, the leaves swayed, and a figure flashed past. Meng Ruolang stood up and started to chase after him. However, considering Bi Yuntao's safety, he stopped and checked Bi Yuntao's injuries first.
"I'm fine! Ruo Lang, hurry up and chase him. Don't let him run away! I'll go back home first!" Bi Yuntao knew that he couldn't let the thief run away. When he saw Meng Ruolang chasing after him, he knew that he was taking his own injury into consideration. , said quickly.
"Brother, be careful on the road. I'll chase the bandits first." Meng Ruolang nodded to Bi Yuntao and chased after him without looking back.
Bi Yuntao looked at his arm that had been scratched by a sharp arrow and was now bleeding out. He quickly tore off a piece of cloth from his clothes and wrapped it around the wound.
Bi Yuntao leaned against the wall and walked cautiously towards his mansion, with a solemn expression on his face. He couldn't help but wonder that there were experts around the third prince. Could the assassination just now be sent by the third prince, or someone else?
But after walking not far, he felt someone following him. After thinking about it, he changed his route and went to the market.
Bi Yuntao arrived at the market and started wandering around seemingly aimlessly, but his attention was always on that person. Every time he changed direction, every time he moved forward and backward, it was all sudden and unexpected! If it were an ordinary person, he would have been dumped by him long ago.
But the person behind Bi Yuntao followed him as before, neither far nor close, unhurried and keeping the same distance.
In fact, Yu Yaoer, who followed Bi Yuntao, had been complaining for a long time! After the third prince came to his room, the two were discussing what to do next. Who knew that when they were about to be gentle, they discovered that someone was eavesdropping, and then he shot a silver needle at the eavesdropper. Who knew He was actually caught by that person. But fortunately, the man saw that he was discovered and ran away quickly.
The third prince saw the back of the eavesdropper and told him that he was the eldest son of Zuo Xiangfu. He was close to King Qi. The third prince was deeply afraid that his conspiracy would be overheard by that person. Qiu Ju happened to send him After seeing the painting of King Qi, the third prince saw the name on the painting and quickly ordered himself to take it. Then he came up with a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain, sending someone to pretend to assassinate Meng Ruolang, and then let himself kill Qi. King, but who would have thought that the King of Qi acted completely out of common sense. When you thought he was going east, he changed his direction. When you turned around and chased him to the west, you found that he had gone south. gone……
If he hadn't been good at Qinggong and King Qi didn't know martial arts, he might have been completely outclassed from the beginning!
At first, he thought about whether he had been discovered, but as soon as the thought appeared, he was denied by himself. If King Qi was so powerful, there was no way he would not have discovered the previous assassination in the woods.
While I was thinking about it, I suddenly noticed that Bi Yuntao in front of me had accelerated his pace excitedly and walked into a rouge and gouache shop. He couldn't help but let out a sigh in his heart, thinking that he was indeed the King of Qi, he actually dared to barge into a girl's shop. .
Keeping the same pace as before, he walked in, but after looking around for a while, there was no sign of King Qi anywhere. ! Feeling bad, he quickly went out from the back door and searched the street behind.
Bi Yuntao saw Yu Yao'er chasing him out of the back door from the hut next to the back door. He silently counted ten in his heart, and then Shi Shiran walked out of the rouge and gouache shop. He politely thanked her and changed direction. , headed back home.
Only a few girl waiters in the store stared and smacked their lips. This outstanding young man looked healthy, so why did he need to borrow the hut as soon as he came in?
The sky is getting darker, the sunset has quietly set, it is approaching evening, and the night has opened its ferocious mouth. Just wait for the afterglow on the horizon to disappear, and then swallow this vast world in one gulp!
Bi Yuntao returned to his mansion, but he had a headache. It seemed that he would not be able to go out at will in the future. He did not expect that Yu Yao'er turned out to be the third prince's person, and his Qing Gong was also very good. If he hadn't deliberately played a trick and got rid of Kill her, otherwise she might be a cold corpse now.
Yuyao'er chased for tens of feet, but did not find Bi Yuntao's figure at all. Only then did she realize that she had been fooled. She was swept back like a gust of wind. She searched around in the southeast, northwest, and looked at the people coming and going on the street. Her pretty face turned green and red with anger, as if she had opened a dye room!
I spend my whole day hunting geese, but I didn't expect that an eagle would peck my eye. What's even more annoying is that the man doesn't know martial arts.
He stamped his showy feet angrily, looked at the sky, and knew that he had to go back now, but he couldn't ruin Master's important event, so he walked towards the flower boat with a cold face.
Huafang, second floor, Yue Ling'er wore a veil, looked at Zhao Mingsheng and Ji Wuli, opened her mouth lightly, and said in an unhappy tone: "Why did the second prince ask you to come here? The third prince is here, don't be afraid. Shall I tell the third prince?"
"Haha! Don't be angry, girl. When the second prince learned that Yue Ling'er was coming, he specially sent us two to visit. By the way, he told the girl that King Qi will definitely be here today, and asked the girl to try her best to keep him so that he can send someone Get rid of the chess piece caught by King Qi. That chess piece knows something. Although there is no serious problem in letting it go, the second prince still thinks it is better to deal with it." Ji Wuli knew that the aunt in front of him could not afford to offend, but the second prince liked it. A woman's apprentice, and this aunt is a murderer without blinking an eye. She will kill you if you disagree with her, no matter who you are.
"Haha! An unlearned and incompetent Prince of Qi actually has to go through so much trouble. It seems that the Second Prince has become more and more miserable recently?!"
Zhao Mingsheng and Ji Wuli did not dare to talk to each other. If the news reached the ears of the second prince, the aunt was safe, but the two of them would not be able to eat and walk around.
"Since you are here to check the accounts, go to the side room to look. Don't come over to disturb my enjoyment." Yue Ling'er dismissed the two of them impatiently, then tilted her head and looked out the window. When she saw Yu Yao'er rushed back from a distance, frowned, and with a bit of displeasure on her face, she got up and walked downstairs.
Just as Yu Yao'er sat down and took a sip of tea, Yue Ling'er's chilling voice came out, "Sister Yao'er, what have you been doing?!"
"Senior...Senior Sister, I..." Yuyao'er hesitated for a moment when she saw her senior sister asking for help. She didn't know how to answer.
"Okay, you don't need to explain. I don't want to know what you did. However, you have been a little disobedient recently. I don't care what your thoughts are. Your purpose is to make the third prince fall in love with you. If you are evil, If the matter between Master and me has been affected, don't blame me, the senior sister, for being ruthless." Yue Ling'er's tone at this time was full of chilling and murderous intent.
"Yes, senior sister, don't worry, senior sister, I will definitely not delay master's important event." Yu Yao'er felt chills all over her body. Seeing that senior sister had murderous intentions, she could only give a trembling assurance.
"Hmph! You know the best!" Yue Ling'er snorted coldly, "Did someone get through to your level today?"
"Not yet, I told them to let people go to have tea first if anyone comes to my level. But..." Yu Yao'er thought of the paintings that King Qi had been detained before, and hesitated, not knowing whether she should or not. speak out.
"But what?" Yue Ling'er frowned, a little displeased, "If you have anything to say, hurry up and hesitate."
"Yes!" Yu Yao'er quickly took Prince Qi's painting from the desk and handed it to Yue Ling'er, "Senior sister, this is King Qi's painting. Junior sister has poor eyesight and cannot judge the quality."
"Oh? King Qi's painting? I remember that King Qi was an uneducated waste. I didn't expect that this painting would make you unable to judge the quality. I want to take a good look at it." Yue Ling'er unfolded the painting.
I saw that the painting was painted with a technique I had never seen before, with a woman with curved eyebrows and a smile in her eyes. She lightly covered her soft lips and looked out the window. The earth outside the window was covered with snow and silver in early spring. , the drooping flowers in the flowerpot on the side bloomed quietly when they saw the woman's charming smile.
Although only black is used in the whole painting, which seems a bit dull, it is not difficult to see that the whole painting is indeed very well done, especially as the woman covers her mouth and chuckles, and the budding flowers unfold their beauty unwillingly. On the other hand, I want to compete with women for beauty, sit and compare with women, as if to announce that spring has quietly arrived.
Yue Ling'er looked at the painting for a long time, her fingers caressing the curved eyebrows of the woman in the painting, and rolled up the painting with some nostalgia. "This painting is not bad. I didn't expect King Qi to be so elegant. Although the whole painting is a bit exaggerated, it is not an interesting idea. I don't know if King Qi is still in Huafang. I want to meet King Qi. .”
"I will send someone to invite King Qi right now." Although Yuyao'er already knew that King Qi was gone, she did not dare to say that she was following King Qi when she went out, not to mention that she lost him.
The maid was summoned, and she found out that King Qi was waiting around, but could not wait for the result, so he left the boat early.
Hearing the maid's report, Yue Ling'er frowned in displeasure. Yu Yao'er quickly asked the maid to step back before explaining.
"Senior sister, I'm sorry. After seeing the painting, I was supposed to leave it to my senior sister for a decision, but someone happened to come over to investigate. After I noticed it, I was afraid that the person would spoil the matter, so I hurried after him. This delayed the handing in of the painting. .”
"In that case, forget it. I can only say that King Qi and I are destined to have no fate." After saying that, he picked up the scroll and stood up and walked to the second floor. "I'm tired, so I'm going back to rest. I'll leave the rest to you." When Yue Ling'er passed by Yu Yao'er, she gave Yu Yao'er a cold look, "Don't make any mistakes again, otherwise ..." Ignoring Yu Yao'er, he went straight back to the room.
Looking at Yue Ling'er's disappearing back, her smiling face was directly covered with murderous intent, "Huh! I don't know what kind of bad luck you had, to be so favored by the master. You are all the master's disciples. Why?" I have to sell my body to get what I want, but you can give orders behind my back and easily get what you want! When I completely establish a foothold with the third prince, it will be your death."
