Cheng Shuyi did not return to Shen Mansion.

He also has a small courtyard outside, which is secret and only guarded by an old deaf-mute servant.

Chi Zhu was placed here by him.

Chizhu is that poisonous thing, white and furry. Even Shen Huaixin doesn't know about this thing.

Putting the stone slices and the quick candle in two places was his precaution to prevent things from changing.

Now something really happened and the stone piece was lost.

When Cheng Shuyi returned to the courtyard, he didn't call the old servant. The old servant couldn't hear him anyway. He was chosen because he was deaf and mute and couldn't reveal the secret.

Cheng Shuyi counted the time as he walked. Chi Zhu had a rest period every day. Now that the stone piece was thrown away, he could only see Chi Zhu when he was resting.

It was completely dark, there were no lights in the house, and it was pitch dark inside and outside the courtyard.

Cheng Shuyi was distracted before and didn't notice it. Now when he entered the room, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Just as he was about to exit the room, he saw a flash of sword light behind him from the corner of his eye. He immediately ran forward to avoid the light of sword.

At the same time, the light in the room lit up, and Huo Changhe's stern brows and eyes were reflected in the light, as if they were filled with ice and snow that had not melted for thousands of years.

Cheng Shuyi's heart sank.

"Your Majesty." Cheng Shuyi smiled, "I wonder if your Majesty is here late at night, what advice do you have?"

Huo Changhe was sitting on his horse with a golden sword, holding the sword in both hands.

The words spoken are sharper than the edge of a knife.

"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you."

"Hand over that thing you raised."

There was the smell of blood in the room. Cheng Shuyi glanced quickly and saw the old servant lying in a pool of blood.

Huo Changhe was also upset. When he came just now, before he asked any questions, the old servant was flapping around like a frightened bird. He panicked and bumped into the door frame, tearing down the shelf next to him. What a coincidence. Unfortunately, something from above fell down and killed him.

Huo Changhe searched the room for a long time, but couldn't find the poisonous thing. When he heard Linlang's message from outside, he blew out the lights and waited.

Cheng Shuyi deliberately pretended to be stupid: "Your Majesty, what is it? I am just a military advisor. I earn some money to support myself. I don't even have a wife or children. How can I think of anything else to support?"

This is also the strange thing about Huo Changhe. Cheng Shuyi's origin is a mystery. He has no wife and no family, so he really has no weakness.

But the more someone wiped out the past, the more Huo Changhe felt that there must be a big conspiracy.

Cheng Shuyi, regardless of whether Yan Ruyu was poisoned or not, Huo Changhe was not going to let him go.

Huo Changhe curled his lips slightly and sneered: "So, you don't plan to talk properly."

Cheng Shuyi spread his hands: "What does the prince want me to say? I want to buy a small yard here and take in a poor old man. Come and sit here in my spare time and hide away for a while."

Huo Changhe nodded, the angry dragons in his eyes quickly rushed out, and a cold light flashed in his hands, heading straight for Cheng Shuyi.

Cheng Shuyi had been on guard, but the distance was too close and Huo Changhe's attack was too fast. He could barely avoid it, but his face was still scratched with blood from the sharp wind.

With a "grab" sound, the hidden weapon pierced the door frame behind him, its tail trembling slightly.

Cheng Shuyi took a look at the hidden weapon and touched the blood on his face.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing? I am a member of the Shen family after all. Isn't this... not appropriate for you?"

Huo Changhe's dark eyes turned slightly, his murderous intent undisguised: "Cheng Shuyi, I don't even pay attention to Shen Huaixin, let alone you. You must have known what happened in the past few days. Do you think that I left Shen Huaixin a message?" The next way to survive is to be afraid of him?"

Huo Changhe's cold white fingertips passed over the blade: "Now that I am here, I am not afraid of anyone. The reason for leaving Shen Huaixin behind is just for the sake of his grandfather. He wants to stay here for a long time and is too lazy to cause trouble."

"As for you," Huo Changhe said with blood in his every word, "Who do you think you are?"

"Even if we kill him immediately, freeze his body into an ice sculpture, and throw it at the gate of the Governor's Mansion, no one will care."

Cheng Shuyi was forced to slow down his breathing by his aura - he knew full well that what Huo Changhe said was the truth.

He is just a small military advisor. In the Shen Mansion, there are more than ten or eight.

Although Shen Huaixin reused him, he wouldn't do anything for him if he really died.

Cheng Shuyi clenched his teeth: "What does the prince want?"

"I have said it before, I won't repeat it again."

Huo Changhe's blade turned and was facing him, ready to cut his throat at any time.

Cheng Shuyi lowered his eyes and thought for a moment. Nothing was as important as saving his life.

"Your Majesty, can I ask..."

"No," Huo Changhe simply refused, "I am not interested in talking to you, and you are not qualified to ask questions."

"The only thing we have to do is hand over the things quickly," Huo Changhe pointed to the incense burner on the table in the room, "You still have half a stick of incense."

Only then did Cheng Shuyi realize that incense was lit in the room. From his perspective, the incense was blocked by the flowerpot and he didn't even notice it.

Cheng Shuyi's thoughts were blocked, and he nodded and said, "Okay, Your Majesty, I'll wait a moment."

He stepped towards the inner room, Huo Changhe stared at his back without blinking.

He walked to the closet and reached out to pull the door open.

Huo Changhe's voice came from behind: "You can try to see which one is faster, your movements or my sword."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty."

Huo Changhe had just looked at the wardrobe. Apart from a few pieces of clothing, there was nothing else, and there were no hidden weapons.

Cheng Shuyi opened the closet door and thought to himself, it's best, Ji Zhu didn't rest at this moment, and even blinded Huo Changhe!

It's really strange. The crazy candle in the dark room should have disturbed someone, but it should have been the old man who stole the food. Why is Huo Changhe so anxious?

Could it be that he was really in the same group as those two grain sellers?

While thinking about it, he tugged hard on the piece of clothing on the edge. The entire back wall of the wardrobe moved up, revealing a hidden compartment.

Huo Changhe watched carefully and was secretly surprised. No wonder he hadn't noticed it after looking at it for a long time. It turned out that the entire back wall was movable.

But what exactly is there and whether he wants it? Cheng Shuyi's whole body is blocked in front of him. It's so blocked that he can't see it at all.

Cheng Shuyi secretly looked forward to it, but Chizhu didn't sleep.

As soon as the secret compartment was opened, the cloth on the outside of the cage was carefully lifted, and Chi Zhu was eating with his head down.

Cheng Shuyi was overjoyed. He flicked the cage with his finger and Chizhu raised his head.

Cheng Shuyi counted silently in his mind. When he counted to three, he saw Chi Zhu's eyes slowly opening to their full circle. He immediately closed his eyes and turned sideways.

He knew that Huo Changhe must be staring at him without blinking.

As long as he turned sideways, Huo Changhe could see Chi Zhu's eyes.

Although the distance was farther, it could still hurt Huo Changhe.

Things change in an instant.

Cheng Shuyi was heartbroken and prepared to come over and capture Huo Changhe when he heard Huo Changhe groan.

His kung fu was not as good as Huo Changhe's, but Huo Changhe was injured and could not see, so he was still somewhat confident.

If we can really catch Huo Changhe today, it will be a huge gain!
