Chapter two hundred and forty-four: those who fell into the water
The pleasure boat slowly sailed towards the center island. As the only ship on Xingluo Lake, it attracted the vigilant gaze of all the people on the shore with just a slight move.
The eight generals of the military pavilion exchanged their expressions and remained strictly guarding their posts before they received the latest orders. Not far away, Jingshougong led the troops stationed in the capital had arrived. Everyone surrounded the entire Xingluo Lake. On the other side, one of the three marquises was also rushed to the scene. He was one of the three marquises. He was carrying his private guards and was talking about something with Jingshougong.
The coronal sword above the head still rotates slowly, and the bright golden light with silent oppression made no one dare to act rashly.
The more silent the boat, the quieter the more depressing it is.
Xiao Qianye secretly calculated the time in his heart, finally raised his head, frowned and said to Di Zhong, "It will take about half an hour to take a boat to the Central Secret Platform. Don't continue to maintain the magic of divine splitting, come back."
"Oh?" Di Zhong was surprised that he would say this, but asked strangely, "You actually asked me to go back... Don't you always hate coexisting with me?"
Xiao Qianye glared at him. Such an inappropriate statement would only be spoken by fearless people like Di Zhong. He turned his eyes to other places impatiently and argued with disagreement, "I hate it very much, but there is no other way now. If you distract yourself from your spiritual sense, wouldn't I still have to be distracted and worry about you? Don't cause me trouble."
"Creating you trouble..." Di Zhong tsk his tongue and almost laughed out loud. Afterimage shook in front of him, and gently stroked his head, "Who caused trouble for whom?"
"Tsk... don't always grab my head." Xiao Qianye shook the hand on his head, and always felt like this movement was touching a kitten and a puppy. His face turned red. He heard the other party laughing and talking maliciously, "Okay, okay, I won't cause you trouble, is this OK?"
"Uh, hehe..." However, Xiao Yibai, who was the one who laughed out loud, quickly covered his mouth with his hands to prevent him from laughing even more outrageously. Seeing his brother's face full of worry and insisting on being stubborn and indifferent, he suddenly remembered the past when he was young, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart, "Sir, he is still too spoiled by him. Could it be that he really treats my brother as a mascot?"
"Your brother... sometimes it's quite fun, like a little puppy."
"You...and your brothers and sisters can deal with him with such a bad temper."
"Brother and sister?" Di Zhong paused slightly, his face was a little dim, but he regained his spirit in a flash and said with a smile, "Now he is really a brother and sister."
"Oh?" Xiao Yibai was shocked, and even Mingxi looked up instantly. The few people were silent for a moment. Xiao Yibai coughed lightly and said embarrassedly, "Oh, oh... why didn't you say earlier? As my brother, I didn't even prepare a gift."
"Shut up." Xiao Qianye cursed in anger, not knowing who he was talking to. Although Di Zhong had a peaceful face and a smile, his hand "ding dong" knocked hard on his forehead and whispered, "Ignorance, how did you say it?"
"I... it's him..." Xiao Qianye wanted to refute, and when he raised his eyes, he ran into Di Zhong's stern pupils. He swallowed it back with a quibbling. Xiao Yibai was excited when he looked at them. His younger brother was always a strong man, and even his father's scolding would refute without hesitation. Why did he really get scolded after meeting Di Zhong, and he was speechless like a child who made a mistake and dared not say a word.
Before a few people could say anything, a scream suddenly came from the originally quiet water surface. After a moment, an even more noisy exclaim came from the shore. Xiao Yibai was sitting by the window. Hearing the sound, he immediately pushed a thin slit and looked out. He saw a flapping figure in the water in the distance, and there were anxious people on the shore negotiating with the soldiers garrisoning.
The people who fell into the water were ups and downs, and they didn't seem to understand water, and they were about to sink.
Xiao Yibai was shocked, his eyes were attracted by the familiar clothes of the other party. He immediately remembered some rumors he had heard during this period, and stood up and said, "I'll go and have a look."
"Sit down, you are an ordinary person now, what can you do?" Mingxi just raised his hand and calmly told him not to go out. His eyes accidentally swept through the crack of the window. He saw the figure struggling in the water, showing a hint of disdain and indifference, and he was still drinking the warm tea in his hand very calmly, "It doesn't matter, it's not the first time. Someone will rescue her soon, so you don't have to meddle in other people's business."
"It's Princess Mingshu." Xiao Yibai reminded him in a worried manner, quietly looked at his younger brother opposite him, and explained in a low voice, "Qianye, the fifth princess was not sure what disease he had contracted during the period when you were away, and suddenly she went crazy. Although the princess's mansion had sent additional personnel to take care of her and invited doctors from all over the country to come for consultation, it has not improved but has become more and more serious. I heard that she always..."
"Xiao Yibai." Mingxi put down the tea bowl in his hand and interrupted him with an unhappy face. "What do you do when you say this? Your body is in a mess. Take care of yourself first."
Xiao Qianye was surprised for a moment and didn't understand Mingxi's current indifference. In the autumn of this year, he accidentally injured his fifth princess, which caused her legs to be amputated. At that time, the crown prince was very caring for her half-sister. Why did such an amazing change in attitude after several months? Even she didn't care about her crazy fall into the water?
Although Xiao Yibai was scolded by him without any hesitation, he still advised him in a good voice: "After all, it's your sister. Now it's winter. If you don't rescue him in time, something will happen."
Mingxi had no hesitation in his eyes, but instead had an obvious stubbornness. He said coldly: "I ordered the sealing of Xingluo Lake early in the morning, and there were a large number of soldiers guarding the outside. How did she, a lunatic, get through many difficulties and fall into the water at this time?"
Xiao Yibai pursed his lips and said nothing. It was obvious that Mingxi's doubts were correct.
"Fifth Princess...what is wrong?" Xiao Qianye also heard the clue from it. I don't know if it was because of the shame of the past in his heart. He had always been no longer meddling in other people's business. Xiao Yibai looked at Mingxi and found that he did not stop him again this time. So he explained, "Fifth Princess was suddenly crazy. At first, she always said that there were bugs at home, and moved all the furniture out and slept on the cold ground every day. Later, the situation became more and more serious. She said that there were bugs on her body, and she refused to give up the wounds she had caught. She tried every means to run to Xingluo Lake every day, and then jumped into the water, saying that the insects could be drowned."
"Insect?" Xiao Qianye frowned, remembering his previous experience, and his face was solemn, "It's the kind of insect control technique, why don't you find a wise warlock?"
"It's something from the Central Plains, and it can't be cured." Mingxi took over his question, lowered his head, as if he was just talking about a stranger. "I arranged for Yun Qiushui to meet the eldest princess before. The eldest princess said that the insect control technique she controlled came from Miaojiang in the Central Plains. I'm afraid it's a sinister and vicious thing like the Gu King. Although the insect control technique is not a particularly rare technique, there is huge differences between different schools and sects. If the root cause is not found, it cannot be cured."
"What's from Miaojiang? The eldest princess has been to the Central Plains?" Xiao Qianye was shocked. Even for the Central Plains martial arts world, Miaojiang is also an extremely special existence, not to mention the sea of separation between the originally very xenophobic Feiyuan Continent.
"It's all old things, it's better not to mention them. When Feiyuan stabilizes, I will send someone to find a treatment, but I really can't help her now." Mingxi sipped tea lightly, her expression calmly on her face, and she wanted to end such irrelevant topics sooner.
Xiao Qianye smiled bitterly, knowing that such words were just a silly word. How could a person as smart as Mingxi, not be able to see the bizarre "coincidences" of the previous coup in the imperial capital? He must have known that Princess Mingshu secretly colluded with Princess Mingyu and almost accidentally injured Princess Longyue, so his attitude has taken such a sharp turn, right?
He was the one who could force his own sister Lan Xin to death in Bei'an City. Now, he ignores a crazy emperor girl, what's so strange about it?
The cry for help outside continued, but was a little unhappy by such noise. Mingxi's sharp gaze actually flashed with murderous aura. Seeing a wisp of green smoke that was nearly transparent between the emperor's sleeves, Xiao Yibai's heart sank. Knowing that it was his unique contact information with Gongsun Yan, he hurriedly stepped forward and held his friend's hand, and whispered: "Mingxi, forget it, just rescue her first and lock her in the compartment."
Mingxi's eyes were quiet and he stared at Xiao Yibai. Although he couldn't bear to let him down, he seemed to be thinking about something and was a little worried.
Di Zhong had returned to Xiao Qianye's shoulder in a light ball, and watched it silently for a long time. The reason why he did not directly rescue the person was actually because he had noticed that the woman who fell into the water had been unusual. There were a large number of soldiers guarding along the Xingluo Lake. Even if she could really break through the siege and jump in, she should be not far from the lake. The location where the water fell was now far from the shore. If you roughly estimate it, it seemed that it was still closer to this pleasure boat.
After a long time, Mingxi sighed, unable to resist the pleas of his friends, and finally let go: "Master Xiao, please trouble you."
Xiao Qianye stood up, just like an ordinary monarch and minister, and he would only take action if the emperor spoke.
He walked out of the room just before his feet, and a faint cold wind blew up from the surface of Xingluo Lake, and ripples slightly rippled on the surface of the water, with some unforgettable resentment, which added a hint of weirdness to the already cold boat board.
Xiao Qianye suddenly turned his head and looked at the three tall buildings rising from the ground in the back, sneering in his heart.
Di Zhong sighed in his heart. It was the first time he had noticed such a creepy weirdness on humans, and whispered: "Be careful, it's really weird."
Xiao Qianye turned Gu Chen in his hand, and felt a sense of calmness in his heart, and said indifferently: "The eldest princess's purpose is Feng Jiuqing. As long as she is involved with everyone, she will take revenge together. Unfortunately, the fifth princess was deceived by her evil words, otherwise she would not have fallen to this point."
"Feng Jiuqing... He should have been here a long time ago, right?" Di Zhong said a little puzzled when he mentioned this person, "At that time, he learned that Yun Qiushui was in the Imperial Capital City, he should have arrived at the first time. Although Feng Jiuqing is not from the heavenly realm, he has a lot of experience in some of the unique mental magic techniques in the heavenly realm. If the light transformation technique is to carry others, there will be great restrictions on distance and time. However, based on his skills, it should not be difficult for him to take Yun Qiushui away."
Xiao Qianye remembered this person, bit his lips and frowned slightly, and for a moment he could not think of any reason why he would not take his uncle away.
