Everlasting prosperity

Because it was the cold clothes season and the journey was exhausting, Ji Anjun and Xiao Yizhi simply rested in Taiyuan Dianbin Square for two days. After the cold clothes were over and the city opened again in the daytime, they set foot on the road again. This is Taiyuan street.

It really is very different from the cold clothes season. The market at this time is already noisy and lively, without the gloomy horror of the day before yesterday. People seem to have changed their faces.

On this day, it was rare that Xiao Yizhi didn't take a long sword to the street. He was dressed in white clothes, and his long hair, which was usually tied up high, was also let down. Only a jade hairpin was randomly propped up to cover his eyes. It is placed very loosely, as if the three thousand black silks can be put down with a light touch.His eyes were not as cold and indifferent as usual, for some reason, the soft color in his eyes was like a spring breeze blowing through people's hearts, making one intoxicated.The lips that were often tightly pressed now evoked a slight smile.

Like the spring breeze, gentle as jade.

How could a person who was so gentle as water and always had a smile on his face become so cold and taciturn now.

Looking at Xiao Yizhi today, Ji Anjun couldn't help but feel a little bitter. If only he could be like other princes. Then, when he met this person back then, he could take him away directly. Why did he come here?

He looked at the people around him, the bitterness in his heart became stronger, and the attachment in his eyes also became stronger.

"Yizhi..." Ji Anjun called softly.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Xiao Yizhi turned his head and asked with the corner of his mouth raised.

Ji Anjun slowly fell from his eyebrows to his lips, then looked into his eyes, shook his head, and said with a chuckle, "Today Yizhi is very different."

Hearing this, Xiao Yizhi smiled lightly and asked, "What's the difference?"

"On weekdays, Yizhi exuded a feeling of keeping strangers away, but recently, he was so soft that it almost melted my whole heart." Ji Anjun leaned into his ear and whispered softly.

The warm air he exhaled made Xiao Yizhi's ears turn red again as expected, and it directly reached his neck.

"Ji Anjun, when did you become so shameless?" Xiao Yizhi said coldly, narrowing his eyes and staring at Ji Anjun.

Hearing this, Ji Anjun looked at the sudden coldness in Xiao Yizhi's eyes, and regardless of the two of them still on the street, he stretched out his hand to block each other's waist, looked into his eyes, and said, "I've never been ashamed of you. .”

Seeing the seriousness and persistence in his eyes, Xiao Yizhi's heart trembled, it's too bad.

Immediately, he quickly reached out and pushed him away forcefully.

"Bullshit!"

After leaving this sentence, he walked forward without looking back.

Ji Anjun, who was scolded like this behind him, smiled secretly, since he is tempted, does this mean that I am one step closer?

And Xiao Yizhi, whose ears were reddened by what the shameless Ji Anjun said, and his neck was red, was walking quickly with a little irritability, thinking of Ji Anjun's eyes just now, sincere, sincere, or persistent, bringing With a persistent look in his eyes.How can he answer this?How to return?

Xiao Yizhi understands Ji Anjun's affection for him, but he can't return it yet, he still wants to wait, wait, wait until his identity is revealed, and when he understands the reason for the suffering of his uncle and mother, he will definitely not be worth it. It's the prince, after all, he is different from himself, different.

"Step aside--!"

Suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes behind him, panic and haste, followed by a shout.

Maybe Xiao Yizhi was too involved in the matter, but he didn't hear the sound of the horse's hooves behind him earlier. It was because the carriage was about to collide that he didn't realize it.Fortunately, practicing martial arts all the year round, his body reacts faster than his brain.

I saw a white shadow rising from the ground, circling in mid-air, a little on the top of the carriage, and landed behind the carriage.

And Ji Anjun, who was left far behind by Xiao Yizhi, saw this scene, and really sighed again, this martial arts is really good.

The driver of the carriage hurriedly stopped the carriage, heard something, got out of the carriage and raised the curtain.

A young man in Tsing Yi slowly walked down from above. His eyes were black and shiny, and his eyes seemed to be full of light. Under his straight and delicate nose was a moist lip. His figure was thin and he looked like a weak counsellor.

"I don't know if your Excellency is injured? The carriage below is faster, so I will apologize to you." Rong Chizi arched his hands, bowed his head to Xiao Yizhi, and apologized respectfully.

Xiao Yizhi looked at this man's movements, and quickly replied, "You are very polite, sir. I am not injured. It's just that in this crowded market, I hope your horse will slow down."

"Your Excellency said that I must warn the coachman well so as not to hurt pedestrians." Rong Chizi still replied respectfully.

"Forget it, sir's horse is so fast, I think there must be something urgent, so I won't waste sir's time." Xiao Yizhi said indifferently.

Hearing this, Rong Chizi raised his head and smiled at Xiao Yizhi, but just looking at it, the smile on his face stopped abruptly, and he stopped there, staring at Xiao Yizhi, squinting his eyes for a long while He opened his mouth again, "You... are you a resident of Fengming Mountain?"

After asking such a question, Xiao Yizhi looked at the young man in front of him again, squinted his eyes, was startled, and said, "Are you the one who was rescued three years ago?"

Hearing this, Ji Anjun, who could be ignored quietly at the side, suddenly tightened his heart. He actually saved someone else?Thinking of this, he looked at the young man in front of him, carefully sizing him up from head to toe, and then from foot to head, not letting go of even half the details.

"It's just me, thanks to your family that day, otherwise at this moment, I don't know where my soul is floating." Rong Chizi raised the corners of his mouth, showing a pure and harmless smile with great gratitude, deeply Hiding the viciousness in his eyes, he arched his hands and said respectfully and gratefully.

Ji Anjun looked at the person in front of him, and then looked at the carriage he was riding in, with a sneer in his heart, his eyes were cold.Taking a small step quietly, Xiao Yizhi, who was close to the side, clung to him tightly.

"Fengming Mountain is full of dangers. No one would be willing to die. Sir, don't worry too much about it. I just don't know how you can appear here." Xiao Yizhi said, then thought of something, and asked again.

Rong Chizi looked at him, then glanced at Ji Anjun behind him, he was surprised, there was a foreigner beside Yu Linze?

"Hey, it's a long story. I met your benefactor by chance today, why don't I repay this love, so that I can reminisce with my benefactor. I don't know, can my benefactor give me a favor?" Rong Chizi put one hand behind his back, and the other hand Before, ask sincerely.However, he quietly glanced at Ji Anjun who was at the side. He always felt that this person had an indescribable feeling, his face was gentle, but his eyes were as cold as ice.

This person must have a very close relationship with Yu Linze. He, Yu Linze, who was hunted down, suddenly disappeared without a trace. No matter how he searched, it was as if his news had been blocked. Behind him, it's like taking an oath of sovereignty.

Could it be that he recognized the master?

Hearing Rong Chizi's invitation, Xiao Yizhi habitually turned his head to look at Ji Anjun, with a questioning look in his eyes.

It really is the master.

Rong Chizi thought so.

"I'll be waiting for you at Dianbinfang." Ji Anjun looked at Rong Chizi and said to Xiao Yizhi.

Looking at Ji Anjun's appearance, Xiao Yi knew in his heart that he didn't like Rong Chizi, and the cold look in his eyes was too obvious.

But Rong Chizi, who saw Ji Anjun's eyes, didn't feel any favor or dislike. He felt more oppression and threat. This oppression was like a heavy weight, as if looking up, he saw a tall Hades, standing in front of his eyes.Rong Chizi swallowed and calmed down. He had never felt this kind of oppressive feeling before.

Because, he has always been the one who oppresses others greatly.

And this threat seemed to be challenging Rong Chizi as well. He would never be threatened. This inexplicable sense of threat made him very uneasy and excited.The uneasiness is because he feels that this person is dangerous, and the excitement is because he has a challenge.

Yu Linze, I must get rid of you, and this alien.

Pinxiang Building——

Rong Chizi didn't know Xiao Yizhi's preferences, so he served all the high-quality dishes, drinks, and cakes in the Pinxiang Tower, and set up a whole Eight Immortals table.

"Sir, the two of us don't need so many dishes." Xiao Yizhi frowned and said helplessly.

"Isn't it because you don't know your benefactor's preferences, so you can just eat what you like." Rong Chizi replied with a smile.

Xiao Yizhi turned his head and glanced at him, his appetite is actually quite small, is this a waste at all?But they have done it all, and they are always embarrassed to waste their thoughts, so they sat down, but they couldn't speak with their chopsticks in hand.

Rong Chizi on the side looked at the appearance of holding chopsticks but stopped in mid-air, couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, reached out to lift the wine pot on the other side, picked up a wine glass, and poured it slowly.

"Engong, my surname is Mu. Because I am the seventh child in my family, I am named Qi. I haven't asked your name yet." Rong Chizi handed the wine to Xiao Yizhi while talking.

"I'm Xiao Yizhi, Mr. Mu doesn't need to call me benefactor." Xiao Yizhi looked at him, reached out to take his wine glass, and replied.

The two touched each other's glasses and drank it down.When Rong Chizi heard the name, he couldn't help feeling a little puzzled, Xiao Yizhi?With her mother's surname, I'm afraid she wants to break ties with Yu Linmuqing.

"Then I will call you Young Master Xiao." Rong Chizi said with a smile.

"It's up to you. By the way, why did Mr. Mu appear here?" Xiao Yizhi asked after taking another sip of his wine.

When Rong Chizi heard this, he pretended to sigh, and then said, "My servant, I heard that there was a case here, and I was transferred here to investigate the case. I never thought that I would meet Mr. Xiao here."

"Oh? But the case of Mr. Chen's family?" Xiao Yizhi asked with interest.

"Master Xiao actually knows about this?" Rong Chizi asked in surprise, quite surprised in his heart, then nodded and said, "Hey, this is indeed the case."

Xiao Yizhi glanced, looked down, stretched out his hand to pour another glass of wine, and said, "I heard about it from Xiaoer in Dianbinfang, I don't know what Mr. Mu thinks about this matter? But I also think that Chen Is Madam suspicious?"

"There is no evidence to prove that Mrs. Chen is suspected. What's more, the guesses of neighbors and passers-by cannot be used as evidence for Chen Tang. The murder due to jealousy needs to be further investigated. I don't know why Mr. Xiao is so concerned about this matter." Rong Chizi explained Dao, asked again.

"My son, Suiyuan, has always been interested in anecdotes and criminal cases, so I want to know more about this, so I can tell my son when I go back." Xiao Yizhi took a sip of his wine, and then said with the corner of his mouth curled up. .

This kind of thing can be pushed to Yuan Qian, since he is not around anyway.

Rong Chizi smiled secretly, and said, "So that's the case. Could it be that your son is the one standing behind you just now?"

"Exactly." Xiao Yizhi nodded.

"I thought Mr. Xiao would stay in the deep mountain forever, but unexpectedly he has already left the mountain." Rong Chizi narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully.

Hearing this, Xiao Yizhi frowned slightly, and then said, "It's okay not to mention this matter, but it's my great fortune that the young master is willing to take me in. For him, I will naturally accompany him around."

"Young Master Xiao is so grateful to that young master, I am a little envious." Rong Chizi said with a chuckle.

"Heh, I heard what Mr. Mu said just now, but now he is looking for a job in Gao'an?" Xiao Yizhi asked.

"That's right, I'm not talented, and I'm the supervisor of Gao'an Dali. This time, I'm overstepping my post to investigate the case. Fortunately, the emperor personally appointed it, so it's not a big problem." Rong Chizi said respectfully.

In three years, he obtained fame step by step from Yu Linyuan's command, made literary achievements step by step, and then buried himself in Ting Wei's command to do things, which can be described as painstaking.

Hearing this, Xiao Yizhi nodded, he didn't know the setting of the high-security officials, and he thought it would be no different from other countries, so he said, "I don't know how the high-security officials are rated, but Mr. Mu has learned a lot from others. Should be good."

"Young Master Xiao is absurd. However, this time, I am alone, and I am afraid that it will be inconvenient to investigate the case. I wonder if Young Master Xiao is willing to help me? I know that this request may be too much..." Rong Chizi pretended to be embarrassing Dao, secretly looking at Xiao Yizhi, watching his expression.

"Let me discuss this matter with my young master. I don't know where Mr. Mu lives. If there is an answer, I will come to tell you." Xiao Yizhi replied, thinking of answering in his heart, but he thought of Yuan Yuan. Looking at Mu Qi's cold eyes, Qian changed his words temporarily.

"Okay, okay! I'm staying at the Xuxiang Inn on Chenyuan Street, please trouble Mr. Xiao!" Rong Chizi smiled, arching his hands and saying respectfully.

In Dian Bin Fang——

Ji Anjun nestled in the room, half lying on the soft couch, holding a scroll in his hand, resting his head on the other, looking at it very seriously, but his eyes were expressionless, I don't know where his thoughts drifted to where.

"Yuan Qian, I'm back." Xiao Yizhi stepped into the door and shouted.

"Have you been drinking?" Ji Anjun quickly dropped the scroll, walked up to him quickly, sniffed it, and asked.

"Drink a little. Mr. Mu is here to investigate Master Chen's case. Because he is short of manpower, he asked me if I could..." Xiao Yizhi was interrupted as he spoke.

"No." Ji Anjun interrupted him and directly vetoed it.

"Why?" Xiao Yizhi felt strange. If it was normal, according to Yuan Gan's temperament, he would probably be in charge.

"That man..." His eyebrows were mischievous, and he didn't look like a good thing at first glance.Of course, Ji Anjun would not say this. He glanced at the doubt in Xiao Yizhi's eyes, and then said, "We are here to travel."

travel?Then why bother with Jiu Zhao and Da Wu's business?

"Yuanqian... I will..." Xiao Yizhi frowned, faltering, hesitating whether to say or not to say.

Seeing Xiao Yizhi's hesitation and embarrassment, Ji Anjun felt ignorant flames in his heart, stretched out his hands to grab his shoulders, and said word by word, "No, yes, participation, participation!"

"Yuan Qian, only you and Mr. Namu have been to my house, how those shadow killers found my house, I want to know." Xiao Yizhi looked into Ji Anjun's eyes and replied in a daze.

Hearing this, the flame of ignorance in Ji Anjun's heart was instantly extinguished, and it was extinguished by a basin of cold water. Yizhi was indeed suspicious of him, and had always been suspicious.

Thinking like this, he lowered his hands weakly, looking at Xiao Yizhi with a touch of pain in his eyes.

"Yizhi, are you doubting me?" Ji Anjun asked cautiously, he was afraid of getting an answer that would make him sad.

Hearing this question, Xiao Yizhi realized that his words were wrong. Looking at Ji Anjun's hurt eyes, he took a deep breath and said slowly, "If it's not Yuan Qian, then it's Mr. Mu."

"Okay, since you insist on taking care of this matter, let's do it." Ji Anjun replied, taking half a step back to put distance between them.

Looking at Ji Anjun who suddenly moved away from him, Xiao Yizhi felt distressed in his heart, should he have told him.But don't tell me, sooner or later he will know that he is suspicious of him, hey, that's all, let's talk about it.

Besides, he must figure this out.

at night--

Xiao Yizhi went to bed early, but he didn't feel sleepy while lying down.

He thought about the hurt look in Ji Anjun's eyes during the day, and his heart became more and more irritable, tossing and turning, that look could not be shaken off in his mind.

At this moment, a man in black was standing outside his house. He took out a small bamboo tube from his arms, quietly pierced the window paper, slowly poked it in, pointed his mouth at it, and blew gently. tone.

But Xiao Yizhi, who was tossing and turning inside and couldn't fall asleep, suddenly felt drowsy. He suddenly noticed something, held his breath, lay on his side, quietly waiting for the arrival of this unexpected guest.

The man in black outside the door was also waiting quietly. After noticing that the people inside had made no further movements, he tiptoedly opened the door, and then closed the door behind his back, holding a silver sword, and walked towards the room quietly. beside the bed.

Suddenly, he raised his long sword and stabbed Xiao Yizhi in the back who had "passed out".Unexpectedly, this Xiao Yizhi suddenly opened his eyes, rolled into the bed, avoiding the fatal stab, Xiao Yizhi looked at the comer, raised his leg and kicked him, but was dodged by the assassin.

I saw the assassin attacking again, raising his sword and swinging it, the speed was fast enough to fan a small wind and draw out a white light.But Xiao Yizhi bent backwards, then supported the bed with one hand, stepped on the wall with one foot, and charged straight at the assassin with all his strength, while taking advantage of the situation, he picked up the long man beside the bed. sword.

"Who is coming?" Xiao Yizhi asked coldly, his eyes were like a sharp knife, shooting at the assassin.

But the other party ignored this at all, and attacked again.

He took out a few small knives from his waist, stretched out his hand and shot straight at Xiao Yizhi, and then raised his sword and stabbed him in the chest together.However, Xiao Yizhi swung his sword and knocked down his knives one by one. He stepped forward with his right foot, raised his left leg, and turned backwards in mid-air. In the middle of the sword.

Xiao Yizhi breathed a sigh of relief and went straight to the tip of the sword, breaking the assassin's long sword from the middle.

Seeing that his long sword was broken at this moment, he quickly took a step back.This sword energy clearly came from Chi's skills. Did this Yu Linze learn from Chi?

The assassin who thought so, suddenly had a bad way and wanted to leave this room.

But Xiao Yizhi saw that this person wanted to run away, so he hurried forward and waved his sword to stop him.

Feeling that Xiao Yizhi was going to capture his own assassin alive, he suddenly cut sideways, dodged behind him, and stood by the window.But Xiao Yizhi turned around immediately and stepped forward quickly. He wanted to use the small knife that was always on his waist to stop the assassin and buy himself time, but he never thought that now he was only wearing an undershirt. Nothing on the waist.

Seeing Xiao Yizhi's momentary pause, the assassin turned his head and pushed open the window, jumped over and left the room, but when he was overturning, his eyes did catch a glimpse of the table that was placed on the table next to the bed. blood jade.Seeing a flash of surprise and disbelief in his eyes, he left.

Hearing the sound of fighting in the next room, Ji Anjun rushed over and opened the door, only to see Xiao Yizhi standing in the room with a long sword in his hand and looking out of the window in thin clothes.

"Yizhi! What happened?" Ji Anjun asked hastily, frowning in concern.

Xiao Yizhi heard the call, turned around, put away his long sword, and replied, "Someone wants to kill me."

Hearing this, Ji Anjun frowned even more, lowered his voice, and said, "It seems that this person wants to kill everyone."

"I don't know what I did wrong to force me like this." Xiao Yizhi said sadly.

Ji Anjun looked at Xiao Yizhi, reached out and patted his shoulder, and comforted him, "It's not that you did anything wrong, it's that they deceived others too much."

As he spoke, a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes.

"I will definitely investigate and find out the truth, and I must take revenge." Xiao Yizhi said suddenly, his eyes were no longer gentle, but were replaced by fierceness and firmness.

Hearing this, Ji Anjun raised the corners of his mouth and asked, "Don't you want revenge?"

"Oh, you can't listen to everything mother said, can you?" Xiao Yizhi replied.

This murder has already crossed the line, from Gao'an to Fengming Mountain, and then back to Gao'an, it is clear that Gao'an's people are chasing and killing him.His Xiao Yi's kindness is true, but facing the revenge of killing relatives, how can he not avenge it?My mother didn't let me take revenge because she was afraid of suffering, but he was not afraid. If he was so greedy for life and afraid of death, what else could he do while he was alive?

Killing for life is justified.

"Yizhi, do you trust me?" Ji Anjun asked.

Xiao Yizhi looked at him, raised the corners of his mouth, and replied, "Xin, from now on, I will never let you down."
