the enlightener says

Qin Ke stood up straight again, panting and said: "It's such a fast knife, it was almost defeated in your hands. But you probably didn't expect that I will have a helper."

The room was dark, but Xiao Hei and Qin Ke had a close relationship, and after that fusion, there was a vague and wonderful connection. Naturally, one could feel that Xiao Hei had jumped up the stairs, but was just waiting It's just timing.

Just now he used the sword of Jingzhe to force the swordsman to focus all his attention on him. He is as smart as Xiao Hei, so he can naturally find the flaws in it.

But even so, Qin Ke still felt that this swordsman was terrifyingly strong, and even if he continued to fight, he could only use the power of lightning in his body to have a chance of winning, but in that case, the entire second floor might be in danger. If it collapses, Cai Yan will also be involved...

"What a powerful monster." Finally, the swordsman who had been silent all this time opened his mouth, but at the same time his body suddenly moved, instead of moving forward, he rushed straight to the other side!

Qin Ke was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that after the swordsman fought with himself, he was poisoned by Xiao Hei again, and his movements didn't slow down at all, he moved a step too late, and before he could stop the swordsman, the sky brightened in front of him , The swordsman actually knocked down a wall directly, and fell to the eaves of another private house in a single jump.

Qin Ke still wanted to chase after him, but an arrow landed on the breach with a sharp sound like a visitor from outside the sky, blasting out a cloud of smoke and dust.

An archer was ambushed outside!

And it's a little grandmaster archer!

Facing the entrance of the cave, Qin Ke couldn't help but wryly smiled, knowing that even if he chased up at this time, it would be difficult to catch up with the swordsman under the watchful eyes of an archer who had been lying in wait for a long time, but what puzzled him most was, who are these people? Where did it come from?Is it Sun Tong's remnant party?

A quarter of an hour later.

"It seems that he should have looked through a lot of files a few days ago." Qin Ke said.

It can be seen that there are many bamboo slips in Hu's room, and there is an oil lamp that is more than half used up on the desk, but the ink in the inkstone has dried and cracked.

In fact, according to the rules of the school affairs office, most of the dossiers are not allowed to be taken out of the school affairs office, but Hu blatantly violated the rules this time, which is really suspicious.

Cai Yan, on the other hand, looked through several volumes of files, and found that there were densely written names of people. He frowned slightly, and after checking all the way, he could also see Hu's annotations in many places, which probably briefly wrote about some interpersonal relationships, as well as mutual relations. What is the relationship between.

Cai Yan has an excellent memory, so he has already memorized the names of many people in the school office, and now he is getting more and more surprised when he is able to match them one by one.

"What's wrong?" Qin Ke flipped through the file and tilted his head slightly to look at her.

"Judging from these files...he seems to be checking the school office?" Cai Yan covered his mouth, "No wonder he deliberately brought these files out, if he really checked these things in the school office, I'm afraid It will cause even bigger waves..."

Chapter 722 Children

The School Office is a yamen directly under the control of Zhuge Wanling under Jingwu. Its power is so great that it has already overwhelmed a big yamen. , this yamen is like a flame being ignited, becoming more and more dazzling and even has a feeling of being unstoppable.

This is also the reason why Sun Ji'an has been suppressing the school administration in every way since he became the leader of the gentry.

No one wants to be in a dream, but there is a person hiding outside the window, quietly drawing their sleeping appearance with a brush, remembering their sleep talk, not to mention that not everyone can only have some sweet dreams, It's not the first time that a sentence has been thrown all over the head, and it will never be the last time.

However, Qin Ke has heard a saying that the embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed by an ant's nest. Although the strength of the school office is enough to stop the tide, once something goes wrong inside, it is likely to continue to collapse because of it.

Regarding Sun Tong's matter, the Sun family has shown for the first time that they have the ability to infiltrate the school affairs office, and the two masters Qin Ke met today may be spies of the school affairs office.

Having said that, what exactly did Hu find that led to his sudden disappearance.

Why did these two people touch Tiger's room? Could it be that they wanted to destroy something?

Thinking of this, Qin Ke couldn't help but feel horrified. He only felt that a big net was gradually opening up, and it might turn into a blood basin and swallow everything at any time.

"The tiger must have found something." Qin Ke's eyes sank, he looked at the files, and began to look through the files more and more vigorously, "That's why I just left the school office on the front foot, and they came straight here on the back foot , It seems that they also know that I will investigate this matter, so they hurried to destroy the evidence."

Cai Yan nodded slightly, and also felt that what Qin Ke said made sense, so he continued to read the piled up files, and soon found out some clues.

"Gongsunli..." When Cai Yan mentioned this name, he suddenly patted himself on the head and said, "Why did I forget her? As far as I can see now, Hu has been from the very beginning, It seems to be tracking Gongsunli's whereabouts."

"Let me have a look?" Qin Ke took the file.

Of course, he also remembered the sad girl who came to the door and begged him to investigate the truth. In fact, the day Xue Yang was arrested, he could have caught Gongsunli who was hiding in the secret compartment under the bed, but in the end he still Deliberately pretending not to notice and ignoring the past.

Later, he was taken away by Luo Fengchu, and he never saw Gongsunli again, but today he suddenly found out that this matter was related to Gongsunli, and he was very surprised.

It's a pity that the two looked through all the files and records of Hu, but they couldn't find enough strong news after all, so they couldn't decide who was the traitor in the school office, and who ordered them to do the next series of things. On the dossier, there were only some scrawled handwriting that seemed to be telling Tiger's thoughts in front of the candlelight.

What's more terrible is that these writings stopped abruptly at a certain volume, and there was no further text.

Staring blankly at the scrawled handwriting left by Hu, Qin Ke couldn't help cursing, "I should have been cruel just now, maybe I can catch that person. They came one step earlier than us, maybe the lost scroll He just took it away."

The most uncomfortable thing about investigating a case is probably that the key clues are suddenly disconnected at a certain moment, resulting in a corner of the secret being opened and covered by a thick black mist.

But Cai Yan didn't think so, and comforted him with a smile: "This is already the best result. From what I can see now, if these people hadn't been negligent and forgot about Hu's residence, I'm afraid you will be in ruins when you arrive here today." gone."

All it takes is a simple fire to turn a house into ruins.

Qin Ke was shocked when he thought of such a scene, and then said to Cai Yan in a low voice: "It seems that those children can't be allowed to live here, otherwise I don't know what will happen next."

Those children who were playing happily in the yard before, although all of them were wearing patched clothes, did not look yellow and emaciated, and each of them could even memorize a lot of poems and essays. What kind of energy was spent on him.

And Qin Ke can also see his former self from them, so naturally he can't let those children continue to live in this already unsafe house.

Therefore, after gathering a few important files, he immediately went out to find the children and the woman, Aunt Huang, and discussed with them about changing the residence.

In fact, Aunt Huang has no opinion on this, but is worried about Hu's affairs, hoping to get some news from Qin Ke, but how does Qin Ke know Hu's current situation?

So he could only find an excuse to prevaricate and say: "Tiger is investigating a big case now. He is worried that you will be in danger, so he let us take a look. As for him, he is protected by people from the school affairs office. what is the problem."

After hearing such an answer, Aunt Huang also felt relieved, but her eyes were a little melancholy, and she was obviously a little bit reluctant to look at the small courtyard.

After all, it is a place where she has lived for so many years. Every brick, every tile, every plant and every tree here has been deeply engraved in her heart. Suddenly all of this has been completely changed, and anyone who changes it will feel a little panicked.

However, when Aunt Huang actually saw the new residence that Qin Ke had set up for them, her eyes widened and she stood at the door like a piece of wood.

"This... is this for us?" Aunt Huang entered such a courtyard for the first time in her life. Although it was far behind the vermilion lacquered gates guarded by stone lions for officials and gentlemen, once she entered the threshold, she could See a green shade.

Grape vines grow wantonly above the courtyard, and the stone tables and benches below are neat and new, and there are nineteen vertical and horizontal lines, and the chess pieces polished by soft stones in the vine tubes are round and jade-like.

Seen from the right, the yard has eight wing rooms and a kitchen, each with its door open, spacious and tidy, as if it has been waiting for the new owner to use.

Qin Ke looked at Aunt Huang's shocked appearance, and smiled at Cai Yan, then Cai Yan bent down, smiled at the children and said, "Everyone go pick a room, pick the one you like, if you want two When people sleep together, they can discuss it with themselves.”

The children were innocent, and naturally believed that the beautiful sister Cai Yan would not lie to them, so they screamed happily and ran down the vine, looking here, touching there, and looking at the chessboard on the stone table. With some curiosity.

My husband has also taught me some of these things, but actually touching those smooth chess pieces is quite different from drawing lines on the mud floor to play in ordinary times.

Seeing the cheerful appearance of these children, Qin Ke was also happy from the bottom of his heart. Although the yard was worth a lot, even more than his own residence, he didn't feel bad at all.

"This, this... this is not good." Aunt Huang was a little panicked. You must know that she has never lived in such a good place. How can I afford it.

But with Qin Ke's strong support, she finally accepted the reality, and in the end she could only be grateful. If she hadn't been forcibly supported, she really wanted to kneel down and kowtow a few times.

"Actually, now that I think about it, it's really hard for a person like Hu. Although the school office has a lot of money compared to many ordinary people, if he doesn't go out of his way to fill his own pockets, he can't even afford such a yard. On the other hand Those gentry who shouted every day that the people are more important than the emperor, all of them have towering buildings and countless fertile fields."

Qin Ke looked at those children and Aunt Huang who was touching the vine with tears in her eyes, and said with emotion in her heart.

Cai Yan felt Qin Ke's emotions, a cold hand was lightly held together with the hand that was a little rough because of holding the sword, and said softly: "We can't change many things, but at least you have done what you should do Don’t think too much about it.”

Qin Ke didn't speak, but the corners of his mouth curled up, because he felt Cai Yan's hair spread around his shoulders, and that heavy weight carried some warming heat.

He lowered his head and gently kissed Cai Yan's forehead.

Chapter 723 Change the day

Two days later in the morning, Qin Ke was sitting on a table in the street. While taking out a plump meat bun from the steamer, he looked at the woman in red who suddenly sat down opposite him. His smile was a bit stiff. After thinking about it, he decided First, put the steamed stuffed bun into the opposite bowl.

"I thought that you would disappear from the world and never leave any news." Qin Ke said.

Luo Fengchu still had that indifferent look, a face that was enough to make many people lose their way, but when she was sitting in a small street shop, she also had a lot of fireworks on her body, that kind of repulsiveness. The cold breath thousands of miles away also subsided a lot.

"That's just your own wishful thinking. Since I made a deal with him, I naturally have to stay in Jingwu, lest he go back on his word." Luo Fengchu lowered her head, looked at the buns in the bowl in front of her, and frowned, as if thinking about it. Do you want to pick it up and eat it with your hands?

Cai Yan sat on one side, her big eyes became brighter and brighter, she looked Luo Fengchu up and down, and finally praised Luo Fengchu sincerely: "Sister, you are so beautiful."

nice?If anyone offends her and turns into a phoenix with a wave of his hands, I'm afraid it's not good-looking, but terrifying.

Qin Ke secretly slandered in his heart, the part of his body where he had been whipped was aching, and he couldn't help but recall the tragic days after being held hostage.

But what surprised Qin Ke was that Luo Fengchu, who was indifferent to everyone on weekdays, was surprisingly kind to Cai Yan. Ke sadly found himself completely ignored.

Cai Yan also likes to wear red clothes, preferably as warm and radiant as a flame.

Sitting together, these two women are really like a pair of sisters, they both have pretty faces and long hair like waterfalls, and Luo Fengchu even said after carefully observing Cai Yan: "You seem to have just started practicing? "

Qin Ke immediately turned his gaze to Cai Yan, she never said this, started to practice?But Cai Yan doesn't seem to have any talent for cultivation.

Cai Yan looked at Qin Ke's eyes, stuck out her tongue and said, "I'll tell you after I've made it." After a pause, she said to Luo Fengchu: "I'm practicing, but the progress seems to be It's not too fast, it may take some time, and you can't compare with your sister."

As if she was a little happy to be called by Cai Yan's friendly address, Luo Fengchu smiled sweetly, shook her head and said, "My cultivation...is not a righteous way, but you have no cultivation qualifications, but you already have some appearance, Some external force should have been used."

Cai Yan nodded, took out a silver iron ball from his body, put it in front of Luo Fengchu and said, "This is a gift from a senior, and I'm still trying to use it, but it can really prevent me from being gifted. Cultivate while restricting."

Qin Ke also knew this iron ball. It was the same thing that Gong Shuban gave to Cai Yan when he was in Gongshujia. Back then, Gongshuban gave Chugou one back. But the two iron balls seem to be somewhat different. The other one was bigger and more ordinary.

Cai Yan's one has complex patterns on it, such as dragons, snakes, birds, and fish, which are intertwined and lifelike.

And just when Qin Ke hadn't taken out the iron ball from Cai Yan, Luo Fengchu had already grasped the iron ball, and with five fingers forcefully pinch down!

She is not a saint who practiced Qi and blood.

But it doesn't mean that her five green fingers are powerless, even at the moment when she exerted force, a blast of air blasted out of thin air, blinding Qin Ke's eyes.

At the same time, the iron ball melted just like that!

It seemed to have turned into a living stream, circling around Luo Fengchu's palm, turning round and round. The silver surface reflected bright light, which made Qin Ke unable to open his eyes.

"This thing is called changing the day." Luo Fengchu looked at the thing in her hand and explained to Cai Yan who was also surprised, "This should be a lost thing, but I didn't expect you to get one. Yes, it is indeed It has the ability to change aptitude, but the production is not good enough, so your progress will be slow."

While speaking, she raised her hand and gently kneaded her fingers into a shape like a lotus flower. Afterwards, the molten iron floated up directly, as if it was held up by something invisible, and slid along Cai Yan's arm. Go in!

"Cai Yan..." Qin Ke was startled, and immediately grabbed Cai Yan's wrist and opened his sleeves, only to find that the molten iron had penetrated into Cai Yan's body in the blink of an eye, and soon Cai Yan's body was gone. He started to feel hot, and a pained look appeared on his face.

"Cai Yan, how are you? Luo Fengchu! What did you do?" Qin Ke was already like a wounded wolf, yelling viciously at Luo Fengchu.

"Let her sleep for a while. It's only good for her, not bad." Luo Fengchu looked calm, and began to pick up the meat bun that many people in Jianye City had said was good, and tasted it, as if she wasn't worried about anything at all.

At this time, Cai Yan also opened his sleepy eyes, and said vaguely: "Ah... I'm sleepy, you let me lie down for a while, just for a while. I'm fine, but I feel very warm, starting from my chest, very warm... "

Qin Ke was a little worried, but still nodded.

He didn't let Cai Yan lie on the hard table, but sat beside her, put one hand on her shoulder, let her fall asleep on the shoulder, and let out some slight breathing sounds.

"Sleep, sleep, don't be afraid." Qin Ke whispered in her ear.

Looking at the two of them, Luo Fengchu suddenly stopped talking. For some reason, an indescribable emotion arose in her heart, and then she threw the bun back into the bowl with a bit of disgust.

"Come! Come!" The people on the street shouted happily, as if they were welcoming a hero. Looking at the end of the street, a team was flying banners, and the whole body was pitch black like a black tide. Keep going.

But the person in front was very different, dressed in white, like a white bird floating in a piece of black water, elegant, beautiful, but also with a kind of fortitude.

Gao Changgong can't remember how many times he has led the army out of the city, but it seems that every time he goes out of the city, the people are so cute.

They threw countless gifts to the army on both sides of the street, the pastry makers threw their own packaged pastries, and the flower sellers threw the flowers they just picked in the morning, as if they wanted to gather all the brilliance into this team .

In terms of purity, I am afraid that there are no people who are more pure. As long as someone treats them well, they will naturally treat this person well, and even join the army of disciples to die.

"If it wasn't for them, I might not have taken over this great general." Gao Changgong said with a smile in a voice that no one else could hear.

If possible, he would of course also want to ride the red fire on his crotch, go north alone, step on the grassland with that iron-like strong girl, and see the snow-capped mountains.

But because he was born in this southern land and met these folks, he naturally felt a heavy responsibility.

Sun Tong's rebellion this time is not considered the biggest in Jingwu these years, but the old place of the Sun family itself is a headache, and the Tang Kingdom is now ready to move, so he has to go out in person to quell it as quickly as possible. The rebellion stabilized the foundation of Jingwu.

But there is one thing that makes him a little worried. Judging from the news from Zhou Gongjin's school affairs office, it seems that there are many unstable factors in Jianye, and he has not been able to find out who they are, and they plan to do it. What.

He took half of the army of Jianye City with him, will he give these people an opportunity?

Chapter 724 successor

While Gao Changgong was meditating, he suddenly heard a young voice beside him calmly saying: "The general is worried about the safety of Jianye City, right? I think there is General Zhu Ran guarding the city, and General Huang Lao, a veteran general, so there is no need to be like this." Worrying."

Of course, Gao Changgong remembered this voice. In fact, these days, he took this young man by his side almost every day, teaching him military affairs, teaching him the principles of marching, and teaching him...how to be a good commander.

"Besides, we won't be here for too long. If things go well, Sun Tong's rebellion will definitely be quelled within two months, and we can even use this as a pretext to drive a nail firmly in the old place of Sun's house for the prime minister. So this Although a rebellion is dangerous, it's not all bad." Zhang Mingqi sat on the horseback, expressing his thoughts clearly in words, with a faint air of a general in his neither humble nor overbearing manner.

Many people think that Gao Changgong has two choices for successors. One is naturally Sun Qing, who is born in the Sun family and has extraordinary talents, and he is going to catch up with him. There is a barrier in the middle that is always difficult to cross.

And the other person is Abu, as a humble student of the Taixue Academy, although he is still very young, but Abu's blood practice and military planning skills are almost all taught by him, so it is naturally the best choice .

But Gao Changgong felt that maybe he had a third choice.

"I didn't see it before, you still have a bit of ability in temple planning, it seems that it is a bit condescending to ask you to be my personal guard." Gao Changgong didn't turn his head, but looked forward and the corners of his mouth curled up A slight arc.

He was originally a beautiful god of war who was famous all over Jingwu, but now he showed his face without any concealment. This smile fascinated countless girls who worshiped him, and some of them even looked at each other in the street. Rolled over.

The close maid hugged her young lady in a panic, but she didn't dare to pat her cheek hard, so she could only keep calling.

Gao Changgong didn't care about those, and teased Zhang Mingqi: "I heard that once married, some people will become stable, wise and even a little overly cautious. Could it be that the little girl really has such a great ability to transform your so?"

Zhang Mingqi stared blankly, and then his cheeks turned red: "General, this has nothing to do with military affairs."
