Xiaoxiao looked back at him and smiled Yanran: "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine..., bah! Ah sorry, it's not targeting you. I'm just spitting out the snow in my mouth. Haha." His fall was not injured because of the softness of the cedar, but his head and mouth were covered with snow. He quickly vomited out, and was afraid that Xiaoxiao would misunderstand, so he quickly explained a few more words. He asked, "Why are you here?"

"I came out to enjoy the snow scene. I happened to meet you horse racing. I saw these two men wearing white cloaks as cover, sneaking into the snow in the direction of your horse racing. I guess they had any conspiracy. Sure enough, they let the Tubo woman go, but tripped you. It was indeed a conspiracy against you. I stopped them for you, and asked them what their background is. Why do they have to deal with you..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the assassin holding a broken blade not far away suddenly smeared his neck with a knife. Blood from his neck gushed out like a spring water, and soon dyed a large area of ​​snow under his body red. Another assassin with a broken hand shot a sleeve arrow into his throat. Both of them fell to the ground and twitched for two times.

Because the two of them kept going backwards before, Xiaoxiao was not worried about them escaping, so they didn't chase after them, but they didn't expect that they would commit suicide, and there was no sign of any sign, and they were very fast. When they started, they were already far away. Xiaoxiao didn't have time to stop them, so she not only shouted "Oh!" and jumped over and found that the two of them had died.

Lu Jinping moved over the snow-covered ground and found that the two were dead and Xiaoxiao was searching for her body. However, no clue was found on the two assassins.

At this time, Yunzi, who was running to the front, turned around and found something was wrong here, so he immediately turned his head and rushed back. Ye Qingqing and others who were slowly following behind also discovered it. They rode their horses over and arrived nearby one after another.

They were shocked to find two bodies holding weapons on the ground, a fan-shaped blood mark, and Xiaoxiao. After hearing Lu Jinping’s passing, they were even more scared. Especially Ye Qingqing, they repeatedly asked Lu Jinping if he was injured. He also blamed himself for not protecting the Lord.

Lu Jinping waved his hand and signaled Xiaoxiao to come aside and whisper to him.

After the two walked aside, Lu Jinping whispered: "Do you remember anything? About your life experience and what you want to ask me."

Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, smiled bitterly and shook her head and said, "No, or I still remember nothing."

Lu Jinping was very disappointed, but he still comforted him: "Don't be anxious, take your time." He lowered his voice and asked, "You can't be so coincidental that you meet them and it's going to be bad for me, right?" If it's a coincidence, why don't you greet us? It can be seen that you are secretly following me to protect me, right?"

Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "You are smart." Then she frowned again, "But why did I secretly follow and protect you? I don't know. It seems that who asked me to do this, but I can't remember who it is..."

Seeing her racking her brains and recalling, Lu Jinping wanted to say that it would be fine. But remembering that he was sneak attacked by an assassin just now, it was really dangerous. It seemed that his speculation was correct. He was facing great danger and he had to find out who was not effective against him as soon as possible. So he couldn't let her be lazy.

Lu Jinping had this plan, but Xiaoxiao did not continue to think about it as he wished. Obviously, this incident has troubled her for a long time in the past few days. After thinking about it over and over again, he no longer wanted to worry about it. Xiaoxiao raised her hands and breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's actually good to remember, carefree and free. I'm living a happy life now. If I really know what mission I have shouldered, I'm afraid I'm not that happy."

"That's right, but since you have shouldered the mission, the person who has given you the mission should not let you be free for too long. Maybe you will come to you soon. Maybe you can find your life experience by following this line. By the way, will you still protect me secretly in the future?"

Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "That's not sure. Everything goes with the flow, because I can't think of why I want to protect you, so I have no reason to protect you all the time. You should be careful and don't count on me. I can't be with you all the time. This time it was a coincidence. It's really. OK, I'll leave. Take care of yourself!"

After saying that, Xiaoxiao whistled, and a silver-white horse turned from behind the hills in the distance. The wasp was galloping very fast, and in a blink of an eye it was approaching.

Xiaoxiao was about to turn over and the horse, Lu Jinping said, "By the way, I want to ask you for help."

Xiaoxiao turned around and looked at him in confusion. Lu Jinping took out a piece of paper from his arms, spread it forward and handed it to him, "This is a murder weapon involved in a case I am solving. It has a weird shape. You are knowledgeable. Can you help me see what kind of weapon this is, where it was made, and is it possible to find its owner?"

Xiaoxiao took the paper, looked carefully at the serrated dagger on the back drawn on it, pondered for a moment, shook her head and said, "This dagger is really strange. I have never seen it before, I can't help you, I'm sorry."

Lu Jinbin was a little disappointed and took the picture from him and said, "It doesn't matter, your memory has not been restored. Be careful that others will plot against you if they find out."

"Don't worry, if I'm so stupid, I won't be out and walking around the world."

"That's right. I'm worried too much, so take care of yourself."

Xiaoxiao turned over the horse, smiled at him and said, "There will be a date later." She beat the horse and whipped it and rushed towards the distance of the snowfield. Soon there was no trace.

"She has left, why are you still stupid?" Yunzi muttered unhappyly in his ears.

Lu Jinping looked back at her and saw her smiling at herself. He smiled and said, "I think it's a pity that she showed up in time to save my life. I'm very grateful. Unfortunately, she still didn't remember who she was?"

When talking about this, Yunzi felt lucky. Because she proposed to come to hunt, she met an assassin. If Lu Jinping really made up any mistakes, he was a seventh-rank official in the yamen and a lord, then Yunzi couldn't help but feel scared. He forced a smile and said, "I don't know why these two assassins were trying to assassin you."

Lu Jinping suspected that it was related to his life experience. But of course he wouldn't say it out loud, so he said, "I'm also surprised. I didn't offend anyone. How could he attack me?"

Yunzi looked at him and said, "You just asked the woman in white to ask her to help identify the dagger. She can't help you. Maybe I can help you."

Lu Jinping was overjoyed and said, "Do you know this dagger?"

Yunzi reached out and said, "You show me the picture again. I just looked at it roughly, it looks very familiar."

Lu Jinping quickly handed over the portrait. Yunzi took it and looked at it for a while, nodded and said, "That's right. I know the origin of this dagger, I can help you."

"That's great, then who do you think this dagger belongs to?"

"I dare not say who it is, but I can tell you where to find its owner."

"That's great, tell me quickly."

Yunzi giggled proudly and said, "That's not to tell you in vain. If I told you and helped you solve the case, how would you repay me?"

Lu Jinping almost blurted out the jokes like "promise oneself", but the words stopped at the end of his mouth. This is not modern society, this is the Tang Dynasty. Even if the other party is a woman with a straightforward personality from Tubo, if she said this casually, she might cause some trouble. She quickly laughed and said, "It's okay if you want me to repay you."

"Okay, then I'll tell you what reward I want." Yunzi walked up to him with his hands behind his back. He turned to look at Ye Qingqing. Seeing that she was stern and looked very bad, she showed a smug smile on her face. She deliberately touched her cheeks almost against Lu Jinping's face. Then she put her cheeks in a low voice in his ear and said, "Search for a time, I'll go out alone with you. If you don't take your little girl, we are the two of us, can we do it?"

Lu Jinping said: "What's wrong? This cannot be considered a reward."

"I think it's right!" Yunzi was overjoyed, "What's the matter with that?"

Lu Jinping nodded: "A word is said, it is hard to pursue!"

"That's great, then I tell you that this kind of dagger is a special weapon used by people in Luowo, Tubo. Luowo is located in the southern part of Tubo. There are many primeval forests, towering ancient trees and thorny vines. Locals go to the mountains to hunt. Because the trees are too dense and it is inconvenient to use long swords, they usually use this short knife. After all, this blade is too short and light, and cutting branches is not powerful, so serrated on the back, which can be directly used to saw branches and build shacks."

Lu Jinping suddenly realized and nodded frequently and said, "So that's it. It's really inconvenient to use a long knife in the jungle. Using this short blade with serrated teeth is unique and practical. So where should I find the master of this dagger? Are there any other Tubo people in Tongzhou besides you?"

"There are very few Tubo people in Tongzhou, mainly concentrated in the capital. However, I know that a few came to Tongzhou a few days ago, and they happened to be Luowo people from Tubo. They were the people who used this kind of knife. I met them a few days ago. They were going to see if there were any suitable local merchants in Tongzhou who could cooperate with business together. Because they didn't understand the words of the Tang Dynasty. They had about seven or eight people in a house in Nancheng, and a total of two families. I can take you to find them. Since this dagger involves murder and Tubo, I can't stand by and watch, so I'll take you there."

Lu Jinping was moved when he heard this, and bowed his fists and said, "Thank you, Miss, for not being favored, and not being short of your feelings."

Yunzi snorted and said, "They killed people and set fire to me to protect their shortcomings. I want to arrest them and behead them! How could they protect them? Of course, I also hope that the Lord must find out clearly and have real evidence to draw a conclusion that it was done by us Tubo people."

"Please rest assured about this. I will definitely find sufficient evidence. However, from the moment, the owner of this knife may not be the murderer, because it may be someone else who used his knife. Therefore, it cannot be concluded that the owner of the knife is the murderer before obtaining other evidence."

Yunzi said: "I feel so too, so I remind you to find out clearly and not to wrongly accuse them. After all, Luwo is also a part of our Tubo."

As soon as he said this, he heard a whimpering cry. Lu Jinping looked up and saw that it was Ye Qingqing.

Lu Jinping hurriedly walked up to her and looked down at her: "What are you crying, little girl?"

"It's all my fault. I should have been with you just now, but I, I..., no matter when in the future, I will follow you! I will never leave!"

When Lu Jinping heard this, he remembered the agreement with Yunzi just now and turned to look at her. He happened to meet Yunzi's gaze, smiling, as if waiting for his answer.

Lu Jinping raised his voice and said to Ye Qingqing: "Are you crying about this? Really, you are my maid and not my shadow. If you have to follow me all the time, I will feel tired if you are not upset."

"What are these two people trying to murder you just now? You don't know martial arts. I'm not by your side. What should I do if there is a mistake?"

"Don't worry. They are not trying to kill me. If I speculate correctly, they should want to capture me alive."

"Oh, how can I see it?"

"It's very simple. They were ambushing on our horse racing road. At that time, I was the only one. Yunzi and Yunzi ran away again. I actually left the order. Both of them had good martial arts skills. If they wanted to kill me, they didn't need to trip me with a trip mascot. They could kill me with just one sword. They tripped me with a trip mascot, of course they wanted to capture me alive."

Ye Qingqing felt it made sense and nodded and said, "Although this is the case, it is dangerous. It's all my fault that I shouldn't be so far away from you." Speaking of this, she started to cry again with a blaming voice.

Lu Jinping knew that she had to draw her attention away at this time so that she would not think about it anymore. He lowered his head and said in a deep thought: "I don't know where these two assassins came from? They must have been ordered to arrest me. Who wants to see me? What are you trying to ask me? Unfortunately, both of them committed suicide."

When he heard Lu Qingping mention this, Ye Qingqing also helped to think about it, and then forgot what happened just now. Ye Qingqing said: "Sir, should you find a yamen painter to draw the portraits of these two people and then search everywhere to see if anyone can recognize who they are."

Lu Jinping said: "If nothing is found, then. When the assassin performs such a task, there will definitely not be many people who know their identities. This kind of investigation will not work, but will instead alarm the enemy."

Ye Qingqing blushed when she heard this and said, "What should I do?"

"I will first extract some things for testing so that I can confirm their identities in the future, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I can figure out who it is."

Lu Jinping said to Yunzi again: "Please send a few warriors to dig a hole to bury the body. I always think this is not something that ordinary people do, so it is best not to let others know at the moment."

Yunzi nodded and agreed, instructing the warrior to start sweeping open the snow and digging holes to prepare to bury the body.

Lu Jinping extracted two mucosal swabs in the oral cavity of the corpse and smeared their blood on their palms to extract their palms and fingerprints.

The Tubo warrior dug out the hard soil and dug the pit, and buried the two bodies on the spot.

Lu Jinping had already obtained important clues, so of course he didn't want to waste his time anymore, so the group immediately turned around and returned.

After returning to Tongzhou, Lu Jinping followed Yunzi to the place where people lived in Tubo, Nancheng.

He did not call Xiong Captain and others to come, because there is no further evidence to determine that the other party is the murderer, and the Tubo people involved, and both sides are turning wars into jade. At this time, it is better to be more cautious. It is better to find out clearly. Besides, if the Tubo people really commit crimes, Tubo is thousands of miles away in Chang'an. If they flee for fear of crime, it is easy to catch them.

Yunjiu already knew that Lu Jinping was coming here to investigate the case, so he took the initiative to go forward and slapped the door.

The door opened quickly, and the people inside poked their heads out and saw that it was Yunzi and sisters. They were overjoyed and nodded and bowed. At the same time, they were talking Tubo language. Judging from their divine beasts, they were very respectful to Yunzi and the other two.

Yunzi also spoke in Tubo dialect and then said to Lu Jinping: "Sir, please come in, let's ask them in detail. Don't worry, with me here, the Sir, will definitely be safe."

Lu Jinping smiled, walked in, and came to the flower hall. Yunzi had already told the other party about Lu Jinping's purpose, so soon all seven or eight people in the courtyard gathered in the flower hall, both men, women, young and old, and two families. Looking at Lu Jinping looked a little nervous and at a loss.

Lu Jinping took out the portrait of the dagger and said, "Have you seen the dagger on it?"

Obviously, these people didn't know much about Chinese, so they looked at Lu Jinping in confusion.

After Yunzi made the translation, three men pulled out the dagger they carried on, held it in both hands, and handed it to Lu Jinping. Lu Jinping took one and looked at it. It was indeed serrated on his back, and the shape was consistent with the one above, but the length did not match the width of the blade.

Yunzi is right, only the Luowo people in Tubo have worn this kind of dagger.

Lu Jinping noticed that there were four adult men in the other party, three of whom took out the daggers, and the remaining man did not take out his sword, so he looked at him and said, "Where is your knife?"

Yunzi translated it. The man spread his hands and said, "It's lost."

"Lost? Where did you lose?"

"I don't know, if I know, I'll find it back."

Lu Jinping said: "Remember when your dagger was thrown away? Where did it be? Who might be taken away by it? This is very important, please be sure to assist us."

Yunzi translated a lot of information for the businessman. The content she translated was much more than what Lu Jinping said. Obviously, Yunzi was teaching the other party a lesson and asking the other party to provide truthfully and help the Tang Dynasty yamen master investigate and handle the case.

After Yunzi finished speaking, the businessman thought for a while and said, "I guess I was taken away by a woman, but I have no evidence. Moreover, this dagger is not very valuable, so I didn't report it to the official."

"Who is leaving? What kind of woman?"

"I don't know."

Lu Jinping said: "You will tell me the story in detail." (To be continued)
