Thin Mei·Love Fragrance Quilt

Chapter 126

Tang Tianxiao has been searching the mountains for a day and a night, and even the [-] guards who rushed to Jingshan in the afternoon did not close their eyes all day and night. A piece of clothing.

Live without people, dead without corpses.

He wondered if his actions were still too slow.

Could it be that Ke Qianmei was taken out of Jingshan Mountain before his order to seal the mountain came?

Sitting in the temporary tent, he took the cup of tea on the desk, took a sip, then threw it on the ground without saying a word.

His complexion was as dark as iron, and his phoenix eyes, which had always been lazy and smiling, seemed to be frozen, and the coldness in one look made people shiver.

He also has moments of majesty that make people tremble.

Even Tang Tianqi, who personally led the army, didn't dare to ask him why he was so good at praying for blessings in Xiangguo Temple, but both of them ran to Jingshan to practice meditation in front of the beast.

He asked coldly: "What about those suspicious characters that appeared earlier? Didn't any of them be caught?"

Zhuo Rui shuddered, and replied in a low voice: "From the beginning of our search operation, they... all disappeared..."

"disappear?"

Tang Tianxiao raised his voice, "What do you mean, is there a ghost in this Jingshan Mountain? The disappearance of a concubine Shu is not counted, and even these dozens of people can be turned into water vapor and blown into the sky by the wind?"

Seeing that Zhuo Rui's face turned blue with fear, Tang Tianqi stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, since these people have long planned to harm Sanmei, they should have already prepared a way out. We just didn't expect them to attack Sanmei, so we gave it to you." I was caught off guard... Besides, who would have thought that Sanmei would be snatched away in a short while with such a good skill?"

Tang Tianxiao became angry: "Third younger sister, third younger sister, what kind of third younger sister is she? She doesn't know good from bad, and doesn't know right from wrong, so you get involved too! Are you planning to call back to Jiaozhou with your big brother surnamed Zhuang?" Go, let my brother have a circumcision?"

Tang Tianqi was embarrassed by the scolding, so he had to say: "Tianqi dare not. It's just that she is alive and kicking like a little sister on weekdays, and I feel close to her in my heart. Besides, she is from a foreign country, and Ruidu has no relatives. If If someone treats her as a younger sister, it should make her much happier, so she won't feel lonely always thinking about her relatives in her hometown, right?"

Tang Tianxiao also knew that he was getting angry, so he took a deep breath, calmed down, and said, "I'm sorry, Tianqi. In fact, I just feel uncomfortable, and I can't figure it out... What kind of opponent will let her only have time to scream With a single sound, he was captured without any struggle at all?"

He actually opened his mouth to apologize, Tang Tianqi didn't dare to accept it, but just followed his train of thought, Xiu Ting's brows were already furrowed, obviously he couldn't figure it out.

Zhuo Rui hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said: "Your Majesty, there is something that I don't know if I should say it or not."

Tang Tianxiao waved his hand impatiently, and said: "Obviously I just wanted to talk, but I still asked if I should talk about it. Talk about it!"

Zhuo Rui frowned and said, "I just looked...that eagle looks familiar. After thinking about it for a long time, it seems that I saw it once in Beihe last winter."

"Bei He?"

Tang Tianxiao and Tang Tianqi looked at each other, and both felt strange feelings in their hearts.

Zhuo Rui said: "If I remember correctly, it should be the first day I saw Concubine Shu, I saw that black eagle. Because its appearance was unusual, when I thought it was strange, someone over there said that the princess never The snow mountain came back. But when I went around to greet him, the eagle had disappeared."

Tang Tianxiao said with a sullen face: "Suddenly appeared and then disappeared, just like yesterday?"

"Yes. Because I had to wait for the princess to prepare the dowry, I stayed in Kezhu for a month or two, but after that the eagle never appeared again, and I gradually forgot about it!"

Tang Tianqi wondered: "Could it be that this eagle... has something to do with Third Sister? She doesn't raise eagles, does she?"

Tang Tianxiao said: "If it was raised by her, with her current arrogance, I'm afraid she would have gotten into the palace long ago. Was it... raised by someone she knows well?"

When he said this, he couldn't hide his disappointment and bewilderment.

Tang Tianqi and Zhuo Rui were silent.

If so, the reason for Qianmei's disappearance couldn't be more obvious: she left voluntarily, and she didn't even leave a word.

Therefore, she disappeared so strangely; and he almost turned Jing Shan over, but he couldn't find a clue.

and then?
Just like that, walked away from his side?
No trace of review?
He panted slightly, feeling that every breath seemed to pull a tight string in his heart, opening and closing, full of bursts of pain like being torn apart.

This pain can even pass.

From chest, to shoulders, to arms, to wrists, to palms...

Even the fingers that were unconsciously supporting the forehead were trembling and tingling.

In the early autumn, a few pieces of fallen leaves have been flying down, tumbling, wrapped in the unique damp and cool air of the peak, rushing in from the hanging curtain.

After a long time, Tang Tianxiao said hoarsely: "I don't believe it. She... If she really dares to treat me like this, I... I will never forgive her!"

I have been busy all day and night, and have hardly eaten.

His complexion was already very haggard, and his phoenix eyes were dim, showing a trace of fragility.

Seeing several confidantes staring at him closely, Tang Tianxiao also realized that he was out of order, forced a smile, and said: "You step back, I will rest for a while."

When Zhuo Rui was busy resigning, Tang Tianqi thought for a while, but said: "What about outside? Keep looking?"

Tang Tianxiao waved his hand, and said lazily: "Remove the people who searched the mountain, and stand around the mountain. You are not allowed to enter or leave at will. In front of my camp, hang the king's flag. If you hang it high, the whole Jingshan Mountain will see it." get."

"Wang Qi? This... tells those who are hiding in the plot, the exact location of the emperor?"

Tang Tianxiao slapped the table, gouging him with vicious eyes, as if gouging that ignorant woman, "I just want to tell her, I'm here!"

Just stationed here, waiting, waiting for her return.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

But what he waited for was not Ke Qianmei, but Ke Qianmei's long whip.

To be exact, a long whip broken into several pieces.

He recognized it at a glance, it was the long whip that Ke Qianmei never left her body.

When he sent her to Deoksugung Palace that day, he took her off her body and kept her for several days.It was inconvenient for him to see her in those days, and he was also full of upset, but he had seen every pattern of the whip very clearly, and he would never admit his mistake again.

In his memory, she had an almost obsessive dependence on his long whip. Except for him, she was not even allowed to touch the girl she brought from Beihe.

But at this time, her whip was broken into several pieces of different lengths, and they were randomly piled up in a thick cloth.

There were a few dark red blood spots on the coarse cloth, and in the middle were written two big characters in thick ink, "withdraw troops".

Flappy and phoenix dancing, it is not the handwriting of ordinary people at first glance.

Tang Tianxiao couldn't tell whether he picked it up or put it down.

He looked up and asked, "Where did it come from?"

The attendant replied: "Just now someone in the northern mountain forest tied this with a feather arrow and shot it into the imperial guards. When I rushed over to see it, it had disappeared. Cheng'an Houling first handed this to the emperor, and he was still leading people to search for it." , hoping to find some clues."

Tang Tianxiao didn't speak, and frowned and looked carefully.

The fracture was cut by a sharp object such as a sword, and the arcs are different. There are also rough cuts in other places, either new or old.

There were blood stains that hadn't completely dried up in a few places, printing dark blood clots on the places where his fingers touched.

But Qianmei loves cleanliness very much. The day before yesterday, she killed someone and saw that the whip was filthy, and it had been rinsed in Yuzan Lake until it was as clean as new.

The person who sent the whip clearly conveyed certain information to him.

But Qianmei had fought and hurt people before last night or this morning, but failed in the end.Her opponent was very skilled in martial arts, and he used a sword that cut iron like mud to cut off her python whip, which was immobile with ordinary weapons.

Maybe she followed others voluntarily, but she must have been coerced by someone now, and she couldn't help herself.

——At least, the person who sent this broken whip wanted him to think so.

"emperor!"

A gust of cold wind blew past, and it was dark inside the tent, Tang Tianqi rushed in.

Tang Tianxiao sat up straight and asked, "Did you find anything?"

"I don't know if it counts as a discovery."

Tang Tianxiao put something in his hand on the case, "I found this jug, it still smells of alcohol, it's very strong, it feels like it was left by someone who shot arrows secretly."

When Tang Tianxiao picked it up to look at it, it was a spiral pottery jug. The shape was very strange, but it looked familiar.

Aren't the bottles and jars displayed in Yiqing Palace similar to those that Qian Mei brought from Beihe?
He pondered: "Qianmei has fallen into the hands of the Beihe people!"

Tang Tianqi said angrily: "Beihe? What is Beihe doing? Didn't they send her here for a marriage? What are you doing all these tricks now?"

Tang Tianxiao remembered Ke Qianmei's words that Ke Qianmei used to say to anger him, snorted and said, "Perhaps those noble children who like her are not reconciled, and want to take her back to be the wife of the Beihe people? But she...she She is the princess of Beihe, I want to see what they dare to do to her!"

"Then...do you want to let the Imperial Guard retreat three or five miles to see what's going on?"

"No retreat!"

Tang Tianxiao slapped the jug on the desk, and said coldly, "How dare you threaten me with their own princess!"

Tang Tianqi opened his mouth in surprise, glanced at his gloomy face, and didn't dare to say anything.

Since the Kanghou Rebellion, in the past four years, no one has dared to threaten him again.

He has enough qualifications to be angry at the threats of others, and willful.

--------------------------------------------
As night fell, the mountain wind suddenly became cold, but the bright yellow king's flag still swaggered high on the top of the mountain, declaring the majesty and demeanor of the emperor with a bright and colorful gesture.

Tang Tianxiao stood on the top of the peak, looking ahead silently.

In fact, he didn't know what he was looking at.

Maybe it was just waiting for the opponent to be impatient to show his flaws, but inadvertently, there was always a smiling face swaying in front of his eyes, and even the giggling laughter was blowing in the wind, as if she had never left and had always been with her like a shadow Following him, especially every time he took her out of the palace, her attitude was always friendly and almost obsequious.

She already owned such a vast sky and earth; maybe, after being trapped in the narrow space of the imperial palace, she became more nostalgic for the past carefree life, and even preferred to let him go and choose those beautiful young boys from Beihe in her memory. ?
Or, even the broken whip was given to those Beihe people by her to threaten him to make way for her to follow them back to Beihe?
When he thought of this possibility, his heart ached so much that he was so full of resentment and aggrieved that he couldn't help squatting down, facing the edge of the cliff where they met the assassin in the spring.

When she fell, he almost instinctively reached out to save him immediately; but if he fell, would she reach out to save him?
If she knew that she would treat him like this, maybe it would be better to stay at that time.

He didn't care about her that much yet, and she probably never cared much about him.

She always coaxed him with honey on her lips, relying on him to dote on her and love her, she almost didn't climb on top of him to lord her over, but she still couldn't help it, always mentioning her companions from Beihe, like that look yearning.

If the unforgettable joy of the past had to be paid for by the deep pain in the future, he shouldn't love someone so hard, and shouldn't always think about breaking the spell that Ning Qingwu raised.

High above, unique, who can match!
But he just thought that there would be someone who would treat him with all his heart like Ning Qingwu treated Tang Tianzhong.

Is he still wrong?
