People always think I'm a broken sleeve

Inside a restaurant outside Huai'an County.

This is the place Huai'an must pass through on his way to the capital.

As long as 'Zhuang Duxin' and others want to return to the capital, they will definitely pass by here.

Feng Cheng has been lurking here since he rushed here from the capital.

When 'Zhuang Duxin' is about to pass by here, wait for the opportunity to start and take his life.

Although there are more opportunities in Huai'an County and it is easier to attack, but the people in Huai'an County come and go, and it is very easy to be exposed.

As the commander of the imperial guards, he is highly skilled in martial arts, even if 'Zhuang Duxin' has many guards around him, he is not afraid.But just to be on the safe side, Feng Cheng decided to hire a group of killers

.

Most importantly, Xuanyue is also in Huai'an, if Xuanyue makes a move, he alone is no match for Xuanyue.

Therefore, in order to be on the safe side, Feng Cheng decided to take advantage of 'Zhuang Duxin' to detain Shi Wen and return to the capital. When he relaxed his guard, he would bring the hired killer and pretend to be a bandit to rob the road and take his life.

Thinking that the teeth-gritting 'Zhuang Duxin' would soon die by his sword, Feng Cheng was extremely excited and his face turned ruddy.

He... was finally able to avenge his Zhen Jing!

Feng Cheng was inexplicably excited and became even more excited.

Even thinking of the scene where Su Bian's head fell to the ground, Feng Cheng felt a little unable to restrain his urge, and wanted to go to Huai'an County, and directly took Su Bian's dog's life.

Of course, it would be strange if Feng Cheng could have expected it.

At the beginning, Emperor Jin had a brain twitch, and had a whimsical idea to ask Long Jingying, the current prime minister, to be Su Bian, the Jiuqing's personal guard, not to mention Xuanyue, even Su Bian didn't think of it.

Who would have thought of letting a prime minister who is under one person and over ten thousand people be the guard of a first-rank nine ministers?

In the past few days, the atmosphere between Long Jingying and Su Bian was very delicate.

Although the expressions of the two were still the same as before, the careful Yan Ruyu noticed it.

Before Long Jingying faced her family's adults, there was always an aura of alienation, indifference and inaccessibility around her.

Now, this sense of superior alienation has completely disappeared without a trace, and there is nothing left.

However, only for Su Bian.

Even Yan Ruyu noticed the change in Long Jingying, how could Su Bian not notice it.

Su Bian remained calm, pretending not to know.

The changes in Long Jingying made Su Bian more suspicious of the relationship between "he" in the painting and Long Jingying.

If it's just an ordinary close friend, Su Bian doesn't quite believe it.

But if it's not the relationship of close friends... then what is the relationship?

Su Bian frowned, unable to understand.

On the second day after returning to Shifu, the servants had already packed all the criminal evidence, valuables, and files in the master's room into boxes.

After packing up the things and drawing up the booklet, we can head back to Beijing tomorrow.

The day before returning to Beijing, Su Bian decided to go to the cell to see if Shi Wen was staying safely in the cell in case something happened.

After all, the collusion between Shi Wen and Qin Ye has not been discovered by the court for so many years, which shows that Shi Wen is by no means someone who can be underestimated.If he hadn't been lucky enough to find Shi Wen's words in Qin Ye's room this time,

It's impossible to pry Qin Ye's mouth open for a while, let alone convict Shi Wen.

After thinking about it, Su Bian who was sitting in the room immediately got up and went to the cell.

As a personal servant girl, Yan Ruyu naturally followed behind.

As for Long Jingying...

He just went to the cell to take a look, there was no need to go to great lengths to call this Lord Chitose.

Su Bian and Yan Ruyu went to the cell together.

Stepping into the prison cell, he froze as soon as he raised his eyes.

Su Bian thought that in the past two days, Shi Wen must have tried every means to escape.

But when he and Yan Ruyu came to the prison, they saw Shi Wen lying in the cell weakly, with a terrified expression and his pants wet with urine.

The bandit in the cell next to him also seemed to have seen something he shouldn't have seen, his body trembling, and he didn't dare to breathe.

In Su Bian's eyes, Qin Ye, who was too stubborn, shrank his body and hid directly in the corner.Qin Ye's eyes were lost, his body was cold, and he didn't dare to look in Xuanyue's direction.

Su Bian roughly scanned the scene in the cell without asking the jailer, and he almost understood what was going on.

Yan Ruyu who was following behind also guessed that Xuan Yue had done something to Shi Wen, that's why everyone in the cell had such expressions.

Still afraid of Xuanyue's deterrent power, she shrunk her body and hid behind Su Bian, trembling with fear, terrified.

Since Shi Wen is still in prison, he can rest assured.

Su Bian turned around, not going to visit Xuan Yue, and left.

However, as soon as he lifted his foot, Xuan Yue stopped him.

Xuan Yue's voice was resentful: "Master Zhuang is so ruthless, why don't you even come to see me?"

Su Bian paused, and replied blankly: "So what if I see you."

Xuan Yue seemed to have expected Su Bian to answer like this, so it was not surprising.

Xuan Yue's eyes flickered slightly, his tone changed, and he said casually: "Since Mr. Zhuang is so ruthless...then I won't talk about that matter."

Su Bian: "What is it?"

Hearing the sound, the corners of Xuan Yue's lips rose, forming a sly arc.It's just that Su Bian didn't see it because they were too far away.

Xuan Yue said slowly, "Master Zhuang will know when he comes."

Su Bian frowned upon hearing this.

Su Bian stood there and hesitated for a moment, finally, he lifted his foot and walked towards the door of Xuanyue's prison.

Su Bian had never been very curious.

But if it is related to the case, he will make an exception for the time being.

Su Bian raised his foot slowly and walked over, Yan Ruyu, who was too curious, also followed lightly.

When he came to Xuan Yue's cell door, before he could stand still, Xuan Yue, who was leaning against the wall, raised his hand and hooked his fingers at Su Bian, motioning him to go in.

Su Bian frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Master Guowei, if you just want to say something, this distance is enough."

Xuan Yue had a frivolous expression, the corners of his lips seemed to be smiling but not smiling.Xuan Yue laughed softly and said, "If Lord Zhuang doesn't want to know... then that's fine, I don't force it."

With a sullen face, Su Bian stood outside the prison door in silence for two seconds.

After a moment of silence, Su Bian opened his lips: "Come and open the door."

The jailer on the other side obediently replied yes, and immediately opened the cell door.

Yan Ruyu didn't dare to take another step, so she stood outside the cell and watched.

Su Bian stepped into the cell, took two steps, and stood still.

As soon as Su Bian raised his eyes, Xuan Yue's captivatingly handsome face instantly magnified in front of his eyes. Before Su Bian could recover, he felt a warmth on his lips.

Xuanyue was afraid of making Su Bian angry, so he kissed him and then left immediately. He didn't have many kisses.

But Su Bian's face was still uncontrollably ugly.

Xuan Yue frowned: "Madam is so easy to lie."

Su Bian: "..."

Without saying a word, Su Bian turned around and left.

Yan Ruyu hurriedly followed.

Xuan Yue watched Su Bian's leaving back with sweetness in his heart.

——How could Madam be so cute.

Su Bian stepped out of the cell with a dark face.

If there is a new Xuanyue, his surname will not be Su!

Yan Ruyu followed closely behind Su Bian, she was extremely curious about the relationship between her lord and Xuan Yue, but seeing her lord's ugly face at this moment, she shut her mouth and said nothing.

Dare to ask.

Night.

Dark night.

At night, Su Bian had another nightmare.

Su Bian dreamed that he was returning to Beijing, and after Xuan Yue was sent to the Taiqing Court, he was released again not long after.

Then, the screen changed to the court hall.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Emperor Jin said with relief that Su Bian had done a lot to solve the case in Huai'an this time, and he wanted to give him a marriage.

Said that he has a royal sister who is about to get married, who is a good match for his age.

Su Bian knelt under the court, and immediately wanted to refuse, but he opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

Then, the screen changed again, to the wedding banquet.

The guests in the hall are all festive and bright red at a glance.

Su Bian was wearing a wedding dress and sat on the main seat, watching Yan Ruyu walk in slowly with the help of the bride with a smile on his lips.

The bride's head was completely covered by a red square turban, and her face could not be seen at all.

Not only that, the bride is more than 1.8 meters tall, even taller than him.Su Bian was puzzled and puzzled.

But soon, this doubt was quickly diluted by the joy in his heart.

Su Bian stood up and stepped forward with a smile.Then, amidst the cheers and laughter of all the guests, she tiptoed slightly and slowly lifted the bride's head curtain.

When the bride showed her true face, the smile on the corner of Su Bian's lips froze.

Immediately afterwards, Xuan Yue whispered shyly: "Xianggong~"~

Su Bian's body shook and he woke up suddenly.

He opened his eyes, his back was covered with cold sweat, and he no longer felt sleepy.

The nightmare was so frightening that Su Bian didn't dare to close his eyes anymore, and lay on the bed with his eyes open until dawn.

At Chenshi, Yan Ruyu knocked on the door with hot water, and after Su Bian opened the door, she saw the black and blue eyes of her lord, and said in amazement, "What's wrong, lord?"

Su Bian was depressed, "I had a nightmare."

Yan Ruyu blinked, wanted to ask but dared not speak.

As the saying goes, returning to Beijing as soon as possible will save trouble earlier.After washing up, Su Bian didn't even eat breakfast, and directly called the yamen servants and asked them to move the box to the carriage, and the bandits handcuffed the anklets and

Bracelet, ready to march to the capital.

The yamen servant did not dare to be negligent, within half an hour, he moved the box, Shi Wen, Qin Ye and a group of bandits handcuffed it.

But, there is still a problem.

—— Xuanyue.

Although Xuan Yue was going to be taken to the Taiqing Court for interrogation, how can I say that he is also a national captain, isn't he?Those servants who are not even counted as untouchables, how can they be compared with Xuan Yue?

Furthermore, Xuanyue just left the capital without permission. The crime is neither light nor serious. How could he go all the way to the capital with his hands and feet shackled like these bandits?

?

The yamen servants stepped forward hesitantly, and asked, "Then, Mr. Guowei..."

Su Bian didn't raise his eyes: "Prepare another carriage."

The yamen servant answered yes, and immediately turned around to prepare.

But Xuan Yue stopped him, blinked at Su Bian, and said with an innocent face: "This official and Mr. Zhuang just squeeze together, and preparing a carriage, wouldn't it be a waste of money."

Su Bian had no expression on his face, and he didn't even look at Xuan Yue: "I have a lot of money, so I don't need to worry about it, Lord Lieutenant."

After hearing this, Xuan Yue sighed faintly, with a look of disappointment on his face.

After everything was almost ready, Su Bian called Yan Ruyu to his side and said, "Go and call Lord Qiantui, you can go on your way."

Yan Ruyu replied yes, and slowly stepped back.

After a while, Long Jingying's figure finally appeared.

Su Bian lowered his eyes and cupped his hands in a bow: "Lord Qiantui."

Long Jingying hummed.

Xuan Yue, who was standing not far away, looked in Long Jingying's direction.

Xuan Yue stared at Long Jingying's expression, and slowly lowered her face.

If Long Jingying stayed with Su Bian in the past, Xuan Yue just didn't like the scene of the two standing together.But now, she doesn't like Long Jingying anymore.

Aware of Xuan Yue's gaze, Long Jingying slowly looked in Xuan Yue's direction.

The two looked at each other with cold faces, and they both saw strong... hostility in each other's eyes.

A moment later, Xuan Yue raised the corners of his lips and smiled lightly.

He thought that this famous Lord Chitose was ruthless and had no desires, and had been cut off from the mundane world, so it turned out to be nothing more than that.

But it's a pity, even if it's Chitose - it's impossible for him to give up half a step.

After thinking about it, Xuan Yue turned his gaze to Su Bian again.

Xuan Yue sighed with melancholy, full of worry.

...Why is Madam always so popular?

Xuan Yue has never rubbed sand in his eyes, and Long Jingying is not a good person, the two looked at each other for a while, if it wasn't for Su Bian, they would have already started fighting.

Su Bian didn't see it and didn't realize it.

Feng Cheng waited almost six days in the restaurant before he finally found the person he was waiting for.

Not far away, several yamen servants escorted a group of panic-stricken bandits forward, while two carriages followed unhurriedly.

Among the bandits, Feng Cheng also saw Shi Wen who was locked in a wooden prison and could not move.Wherever Shi Wen went, people kept throwing eggs and cabbages at him.

Although Feng Cheng did not know the person whose eggs and cabbages were thrown, Feng Cheng did know the robes worn by the yamen servants.

If there were no accidents, one of the people in the carriage behind should be the 'Zhuang Duxin' who killed a thousand swords.

After thinking about it, Feng Cheng stopped wasting time, immediately got up to pack his things, called the group of hired killers, and prepared to attack.

——This day has finally arrived!

Feng Cheng left the wine shop, took the group of killers with him, and quietly followed behind the carriage.

Feng Cheng was ready to act immediately when there was no one around!

Feng Cheng quietly followed behind the carriage, his footsteps were light and his movements were barely audible.None of the yamen servants and bandits walking in front noticed.

Even Feng Cheng thought he had fooled everyone in front of him.

However, the moment Feng Cheng appeared, Xuan Yue and Long Jingying who were sitting in the carriage noticed it.

Xuan Yue raised his eyebrows, and curled up the corners of his lips with great interest.

Long Jingying, who was sleeping with her eyes closed, slowly opened her eyes.

The body used by Su Bian had never practiced martial arts before, so it was impossible for him to notice it without the strength of his hands.

However, Su Bian and Long Jingying were in the same carriage, and Su Bian was naturally aware of Long Jingying's strangeness.

Su Bian raised his eyes and asked, "...Lord Chitose?"

After Su Bian finished speaking, the next second, the carriage was split open.

The sharp blade fell from Su Bian's face, almost hitting his head, but Long Jingying stretched out his hand and pulled Su Bian's body into his arms, dodging it lightly.

At the same time, the carriage that Xuan Yue was in was also split open by the killer, and it was instantly torn apart.

Xuan Yue curled his lips into a chuckle, stared at the killers in front of him who were not afraid of death, pulled out the knife from the waist of the terrified yamen servant, flung loose the rope tied to his hand, and greeted him with a smile.

Go up.

Xuan Yue smiled slightly: "It just so happens that I'm not in a good mood today, so I took you as a joke."

On the other side, Feng Cheng, who covered his face with a black cloth, stared at Long Jingying in the carriage, and was stunned.

Feng Cheng blinked, and even thought he was hallucinating.

Feng Cheng was speechless, so shocked that he even forgot to hide his accent.

Feng Cheng said in disbelief, "Master Chitose?!"

——Why is Master Chitose here? !

Su Bian at the side heard Feng Cheng's voice, Su Bian's brows moved slightly, and he slowly said, "...Master Feng?"

After Su Bian finished speaking, Long Jingying stood up slowly, and pulled out the saber from her waist with a blank expression.The cold silver light on the sword flashed past Feng Cheng's eyes.

Long Jingying's thin lips parted slightly: "Leaving Beijing without authorization, and attempting to assassinate the Prime Minister and Jiuqing, the crime is aggravated, absolutely unforgivable, and should be executed."

After all, the silver long sword pierced in Feng Cheng's direction like lightning.

Feng Cheng didn't expect Long Jingying's martial arts to be so powerful. Feng Cheng's reaction was extremely fast, but Long Jingying still stabbed a big deep gash in his body.

Feng Cheng was in pain, and before he had time to look at the wound, the next second, the cold light sword in Long Jingying's hand had already pierced his throat.

In the blink of an eye, the head fell to the ground.

Long Jingying glanced expressionlessly at the head of the person on the ground, and withdrew her sword.

On the other hand, Xuan Yue is also tired of playing.

Xuan Yue directly and neatly pierced the chests of the opponents, and after killing them, he threw the sword back in front of the yamen servant with a look of disgust.

Tsk, not fun.

After Xuan Yue finished killing, he immediately turned his gaze to Feng Cheng who was lying on the ground with his head separated.

Xuan Yue didn't expect Feng Cheng to be so bold that he would secretly come to Huai'an to assassinate him.

But... How did Feng Cheng know that 'Zhuang Duxin' would be in Huai'an?

With Feng Cheng's pig brain, it is impossible to guess that 'Zhuang Duxin' will go to Huai'an.It is even impossible to doubt that 'Zhuang Duxin' claiming to be sick is a lie.

Even Xuan Yue himself only found out after breaking into the Zhuang mansion for the second time.

and so……

Someone pointed him out?

Xuan Yue squinted his eyes, vaguely already had an answer.

Immediately afterwards, Xuan Yue's eyes turned, and after he had made a small wound on his hand, he came to Su Bian in aggrieved manner, and showed him the wound.

Xuan Yue's tears were dim, and he choked, "I'm hurt, it hurts so much..."

Su Bian looked down at the wound on Xuan Yue's hand that was smaller than a nail, and said a word without hesitation.

Su Bian: "Get lost."

On the other side, Long Jingying raised her eyes and looked in Xuan Yue's direction.

Xuan Yue received Long Jingying's gaze, chuckled lightly, and rested his head on Su Bian's shoulder.The latter pushed, but didn't push. He didn't want to waste any more effort, so he gave up.

— Anyway, this is not once or twice.

Long Jingying stared at the scene in front of her with deep and dark eyes.
