People always think I'm a broken sleeve

Emperor Jin left in no time, Su Bian stared at the direction where Emperor Jin left for a while, and then quietly looked away.

It was getting late, and it was time to go back to the inn.

But Su Bian didn't know the way, so he could only find a passerby to ask the way.

It was getting late now, and there were hardly any passers-by on the street.

Su Bian walked forward slowly, almost two streets away, but he still didn't see a single pedestrian.

Su Bian frowned, his face a little ugly.

...Could it be possible to sleep on the street tonight?

Just as he was thinking about it, at this moment, he finally saw a passerby walking towards Su Bian.

Su Bian raised his eyes, and immediately walked towards the man without thinking.

The night was hazy, and because of the distance, I hadn't seen the other party's clothes and appearance clearly before, but after getting closer, I finally saw clearly.

I saw that the other party was slender and taller than Su Bian by a head.The clothes on his body are very ordinary, and he doesn't have any accessories that seem to be very valuable, but inexplicably, they are scattered

There was a fierce aura that ordinary people didn't have at all.

——A strong killing spirit.

Su Bian looked at the other party and paused slightly.

The other party is obviously not an ordinary person.

But...he just came to ask for directions, and the identity of the other party has nothing to do with him.

After thinking about it, Su Bian stepped forward, opened his lips and said, "Brother, please stop for now."

The man was stopped, his footsteps stopped, and then he quietly raised his eyes and looked towards Su Bian.

He didn't speak, but with just one glance, the oppressive aura instantly dissipated invisible.

Before approaching, Su Bian felt an extremely strong murderous aura, and after approaching, he seemed to smell a bloody smell.

An extremely strong smell of blood, as if soaked in blood.

But the problem is that there is not a trace of blood on the other party's body, so it is not clean.

Su Bian glanced at the other party, and almost had an answer in his heart.

Su Bian's face was calm and calm, even if he took the initiative to talk to him, he was still not in a hurry.

The man didn't seem to expect that someone would dare to strike up a conversation with him, and his expression seemed slightly surprised.

The man stared at Su Bian and said, "What is it?"

Su Bian opened his lips and said quietly: "At Xia, a traveler who came to Beijing from a foreign country accidentally lost his way and didn't know how to return to the inn. With nowhere to go, he had to come to his brother for help.

.If you bother Xiongtai, I will make an apology to Xiongtai first. "

Su Bian's voice was calm, neither hurried nor hurried.

In just a few sentences, the cause and effect are explained clearly, the attitude is decent and generous, and it will not be annoying at all.

Xie Daoyun looked at Su Bian quietly with downcast eyes, and said, "Which inn?"

Su Bian replied, "Yuelai Inn."

Xie Daoyun understood, then turned back and pointed to the road behind him: "Walk 300 meters to Zhuque Street, and then you will see a shop selling buns. On one side of the shop is Xuanwu Street.

Go straight on Xuanwu Street, turn left when you see Ci'en Temple, and walk about 50 meters. "

Su Bian looked up at Xie Daoyun: "..."

Seeing that Su Bian was silent for a long time, Xie Daoyun asked, "Didn't you hear clearly?"

Su Bianmo, "...I hear you clearly."

Xie Daoyun nodded, and walked around Su Bian without thinking about it.

But before taking two steps, he was stopped again.

Su Bian looked up at him and asked, "Where are Zhuque Street, Xuanwu Street, and Ci'en Temple?"

Xie Daoyun paused.

Also, how can people from other places know what street it is.

Su Bian knew that he had caused trouble to Xie Daoyun, so he didn't say much, and stretched out his hand to touch his bosom without saying a word, ready to take out the money from his bosom.

If you want to solve troubles, or apologize, etc., money is the most convenient and useful.

Su Bian stretched out his hand to feel in his bosom, but he groped around, but found nothing.

... He forgot that he was hurriedly dragged out of the inn by the emperor at night, without taking anything with him.

Su Bian raised his hand, thinking about what happened tonight, he felt a headache and pressed his temple.

First, he was dragged to some kind of smoky Xunfang Pavilion by the weak emperor, but after getting out of Xunfang Pavilion, he got lost and strayed into Xuanfu.Then saw that the spirit is not 'normal'

, and even the perverted Guowei Xuanyue.

After finally leaving the Xuanfu and getting rid of the weak emperor, he lost his way again.

Su Bian was exhausted.

If I knew it earlier, I should have resisted the order from the very beginning and refused to come to the capital.

Su Bian felt even more troubled when he thought that tomorrow the weak emperor would issue an edict to make him a nine minister.

Rubbing his eyes tiredly, Su Bian said lightly: "It's getting late, so I won't bother you, brother, I'll ask others later. Thank you for now. If we can meet again in the future

, I must invite Xiongtai to drink next time. "

After cupping his hands and thanking him, Su Bian turned around and left, trying his luck to see if he could meet other passers-by.

Xie Daoyun glanced in the direction Su Bian was heading in, only to see that the front was empty and lonely, and there was no sign of a living person in sight.

Xie Daoyun quietly looked away.

Xie Daoyun stared at Su Bian's leaving back, and after two seconds of silence, he raised his heels to follow.

Su Bian was puzzled, and raised his eyes to look in Xie Daoyun's direction.That cold and almost expressionless face was rarely full of doubts.

Xie Daoyun looked down at Su Bian and said, "I'm not in a hurry to go back home."

Su Bian frowned, even more inexplicable.

Xie Daoyun said again: "So I will take you back to the inn."

Su Bian suddenly realized, and after being surprised for a moment, he immediately cupped his hands and said thanks: "Thank you, brother, I am very grateful."

Xie Daoyun gave a faint grace and said no need.

Xie Daoyun was obviously not a talkative person, he kept a blank face and didn't say anything along the way.

When Su Bian was brought to the door of the inn, Xie Daoyun finally said, "Here we are."

Su Bian cupped his hands in thanks, "Thank you, my lord..."

Xie Daoyun gave a flat acknowledgment, and left without waiting for Su Bian to finish speaking.

Su Bian watched the other party's back as he left, although he wanted to catch up and ask the other party's surname and residence in order to thank him later.It can be seen that the other party looks like he doesn't want to talk to him, so

Then he dismissed this idea.

If Su Bian wants to say thank you in the future, I am afraid it will only be a trouble to the other party.

Moreover, although the other party was dressed in simple clothes, judging from the stern aura around him and his well-educated behavior, it was obvious that he had a prominent family background and was by no means an ordinary person.

If he wants to give a gift, I'm afraid the other party will still look down on him.

Su Bian quietly stared at the direction where Xie Daoyun left for a few seconds.

A few seconds later, Su Bian turned around and stepped into the inn with a blank expression.

the other side.

After Xie Daoyun sent Su Bian to the inn, he turned around and returned to the original road. After nearly twice as long as before, he finally returned to Xie's mansion.

The doorman opened the gate of Xie's mansion, and Xie Qingyun, who had been waiting all night, came out of the mansion immediately, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why have you been here for so long, brother? Are you going somewhere?"

Did I sneak away behind my sister's back? "

Xie Daoyun didn't answer, but reached out and handed her the preserved fruit snacks and rouge powder in his hand.

Xie Qingyun took the snack from Xie Daoyun's hand, then untied the rope without saying a word, tore off the outermost layer of paper packaging, and stuffed it into her mouth happily.

After eating it, Xie Qingyun couldn't help sighing: Wow, Liangji's preserved fruit is the best!

Xie Daoyun walked towards the mansion while raising his feet, and said calmly: "Just now I met a stranger who lost his way. He came to ask me for directions, so I sent him back to the inn."

The candied fruit in Xie Qingyun's mouth hadn't been swallowed yet. After hearing this, Dang Lian's eyes widened in surprise, and the pulp almost fell out of her mouth.

Xie Qingyun was surprised and said, "When did our famous General Xie become so helpful?"

After all, he walked around Xie Daoyun three times with a look of surprise, as if he was looking at a box of strangers he didn't know.

Xie Daoyun ignored it directly.

Xie Daoyun said coolly: "It's getting so late, you should go to sleep."

Xie Qingyun looked at Xie Daoyun's expression, and couldn't help but ask: "Let's talk, who did my brother send me just now? Is it the new sister-in-law in the future?"

Xie Daoyun's face turned cold instantly.

Xie Daoyun stretched out her hand, "Leave me the food and go to sleep."

Xie Qingyun carried the food behind her back, and immediately ran away without thinking.

Xie Qingyun begged for mercy: "Brother, I was wrong, Qingyun will never ask again!"

At this time, Xunfang Pavilion.

After receiving Ji Yixiao's order, Jiang Heyue led a group of officers and soldiers to Xunfang Pavilion without saying a word.

Jiang Heyue, as the number one bodyguard next to Emperor Jin, could not be more clear about Emperor Jin's nature.Except for Xunfang Pavilion, it is impossible for Emperor Jin to go to other places.

Bringing a group of officers and soldiers to the Xunfang Pavilion aggressively, Jiang Heyue frowned as he watched the scene in the Xunfang Pavilion.

The guests in the Xunfang Pavilion saw Jiang Heyue approaching menacingly, and they were terrified.The old bustard saw the guest so frightened that she wished she could grab the door and ran away. Fearing that the business would be lost, she hurried forward to say hello.

: "This adult came to Xunfang Pavilion, why did he bring so many people?"

Just now Jiang and Yue were still looking for the figure of the old bustard, and now she took the initiative to meet her, which was just right.

Jiang Heyue grabbed her by the collar roughly, and asked, "Who did the young master who is about a head shorter than me come with today, wearing a green robe and a jade crown on his head?"

? ”

As soon as the old bustard heard this description, he knew that it was related to Emperor Jin again.

Because the Emperor Jin is wearing Tsing Yi today.

However, the old bustard would not dare to say anything that has something to do with the current emperor.

If the officers and soldiers are unhappy, they will just beat and smash.Even if the store is closed, the main backing of the emperor is not to be afraid.

But if the emperor is unhappy...

Not to mention her, I'm afraid that all the girls in the store will lose their lives along with them.

The old bustard pretended to be stupid and said, "My lord, I really don't understand what you said?"

But Jiang Heyue was too lazy to listen to the old bustard pretending to be stupid, and said directly: "I was ordered by the Taiwei to come here for questioning. If there is one sentence that dares to lie, I will go to jail!"

When the old bustard heard this, he immediately became cowardly.

The old bustard said: "I'll recruit! If you ask anything, my lord, you should know everything and say everything!"

Jiang Heyue snorted coldly.

Jiang Heyue said, "Who is with Mr. Tsing Yi tonight?"

The old bustard obediently replied: "I don't know either..."

Jiang and Yuemei Peak are crossed.

Before Jiang Heyue could speak, the bustard hurriedly explained: "That young man seems to be here for the first time, and his accent seems to be a foreigner."

Jiang Heyue pondered.

outsider...

After pondering for a while, Jiang Heyue asked again: "What does that person look like?"

The old bustard thought about it for a while, and said: "The young man doesn't like to laugh, he is about half a head taller than the young man in Tsing Yi, with a thin body and a straight back, he looks very decent."

Jiang He read it clearly, and asked again: "What kind of clothes is he wearing?"

The old bustard thought about it again, and then hesitated: "It seems to be wearing gray clothes, and the pattern of clouds is embroidered on the side of the clothes. It looks like the material is very good."

After Jiang Heyue listened, he loosened the old bustard's collar, and said coldly, "Draw me the appearance of that man."

The old bustard responded respectfully, "Hey, yes. I'm going to find paper and pens now."

After the old bustard finished speaking, she immediately turned her head and told the waiter in the store, "Go, get me a pen and paper."

The handyman frightenedly glanced at Jiang Heyue, whose face was slightly gloomy, who was not easy to provoke at first sight, and then tremblingly said yes.

The handyman quickly brought the pen and paper to the old bustard.

The old bustard was afraid that Jiang Heyue would put him in prison, so he quickly drew on the paper according to the appearance in his memory, for fear that he would be too slow.

After a while, the old bustard finished the portrait.

The old bustard handed Su Bian's portrait to Jiang Heyue tremblingly, and said, "My lord, the painting is finished."

Jiang Heyue took it with a cold snort, and glanced at it.

He first glanced at the old bustard's expression, then at the old bustard's frightened expression, and after making sure that the other party dared not lie to him, he turned around and said, "Retreat! Go and capture the capital!"

Search all the inns in the country! "

All the officers and soldiers responded in unison, "Yes!"

Jiang Heyue came aggressively, and then left aggressively. The old bustard looked at Jiang Heyue's leaving back, and asked depressedly what kind of thing this was.

She only opened a Xunfang Pavilion, how could she be so unlucky.

After Jiang Heyue left Xunfang Pavilion, he took the portrait drawn by the old bustard and began to search for people one by one in the inns in the capital.

On the other side, after Xie Daoyun left, Su Bian also went upstairs.

It was already midnight at this time, according to common sense, Su Bian should go to bed when he went upstairs.

Moreover, Su Bian was already planning to go to sleep before Emperor Jin appeared.

But now, Su Bian sat quietly in the dark room, obviously tired and tired, but he couldn't fall asleep anyway.

Thinking about the imperial edict that the emperor with little tendons will issue tomorrow, I can't sleep.

Especially when he thought that if he became the so-called Jiuqing in the capital, he might have to deal with Xuanyue for a long time in the future.

Thinking of the weird eyes he looked at her today, he couldn't fall asleep even more.

——No matter how you look at it, the official position of Jiuqing is unworthy.

Just as Su Bian was sitting in the room feeling a headache, at this moment, there was a sudden movement on the first floor of the inn.

Downstairs, Jiang Heyue held up the portrait painted by the old bustard of Xunfang Pavilion, and asked the waiter in the Yuelai Inn, "Have you seen the person in this portrait?"

The waiter took a look, and at a glance he saw that the person in the portrait was Su Bian.

Su Bian's demeanor was cold, and he was completely different from ordinary people at first glance. The waiter in the shop took a look and couldn't forget it.

Although he knew where the person in the portrait was, he was just a waiter in the shop, so he couldn't casually disclose the location of the customer.If there is any accident, how can the handyman in their shop take care of it?

Can't wait.

The waiter hesitated and dared not speak, Jiang Heyue was impatient, put one hand on the saber at his waist, and asked again.

Jiang Heyue repeated in a cold voice: "Let me ask again for the last time, have you seen the person in this portrait?"

The shop clerk felt apprehensive, and hurriedly responded, "I've seen it! I've seen it! I'll take you upstairs!"

Jiang Heyue snorted coldly before putting his hand down.

Jiang Heyue followed the waiter up the stairs, and the officers and soldiers behind him prepared to follow without even thinking about it, but they were stopped by the one in front.

Jiang Heyue said cautiously, "I'm going upstairs alone. You all follow, it's too much noise."

The officers and soldiers immediately stopped obediently.

Jiang He Yueji said: "Go, watch outside the door and by the bed, don't let him escape!"

A group of officers and soldiers obeyed and said loudly, "Yes—"

Jiang Heyue stared, lowered his voice and reprimanded: "It's your mother's head! I said just don't make too much noise, didn't you hear me?"

All the officers and soldiers subconsciously wanted to say yes, but Jiang Heyue stared at them without hesitation.

Jiang Heyue said: "Shut up, don't say another word. Let me guard the door."

A group of officers and soldiers stood obediently outside the door, and they really didn't say a word.

Jiang Heyue went up the stairs together with the shop waiter.

The waiter led Jiang and Yue slowly towards Su Bian's house.

Su Bian didn't sleep, so he heard the sound of light and heavy footsteps approaching slowly.

Then, a conversation between two people outside the door was heard.

Sitting in the room just now, probably because Su Bian didn't light the oil lamp, so the two of them didn't know that Su Bian was awake, so they didn't deliberately lower their voices.

Jiang Heyue said impatiently, "Why haven't you arrived yet, aren't you lying to me?"

Hearing Jiang Heyue's impatient voice, the shop clerk couldn't help but wiped the cold sweat off his brow, and said, "I don't dare. It's just that the guest officer likes to be quiet, so he lives in the innermost room. My lord

Don't worry, it will be here soon. "

The innermost room...

This is Su Bian's room.

Su Bian's heart froze, and he hid behind the door, holding his breath, and quietly waited for the arrival of the two.

The footsteps gradually approached, and finally stopped outside the door.

Then, Su Bian heard a slightly lowered voice outside the door, saying: "My lord, we're here, this is the room."

Jiang Heyue raised his eyes and looked towards the door.

The room was silent, and nothing could be heard.

Seeing this, the waiter in the shop asked for instructions in a low voice: "...Master, the little one has been brought here, can I leave now?"

Jiang Heyue waved his hands.

The waiter was overjoyed and left this 'place of right and wrong' in a hurry.

The waiter backed away, Jiang Heyue pushed the room open and walked in slowly.

The room was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.

Jiang Heyue frowned slightly, squinted his eyes, and tried hard to distinguish the scene in the room, then tiptoed and walked towards the bed.

At the same time, one of his hands slowly held the sword hilt at his waist.

Jiang Heyue quietly walked to the bedside, and then stood still by the bedside. Just as he was about to draw his sword, a hand suddenly clasped his throat from behind and grabbed the hand he was holding on the hilt of the sword.

that hand.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely cold voice came from behind.

"...It's midnight, what is this lord looking for?"

Jiang Heyue was startled, with an unbelievable expression on his face.

He didn't realize his existence at all!

Jiang Heyue subconsciously prepared to draw his sword, but the next second, he felt his throat tighten, and the person behind him tightened his throat again, and said slowly, "My lord, don't act rashly!"

, if you miss the next one... the loss outweighs the gain. "

That short sentence is full of threats.

Jiang Heyue, who was used to heavy wind and heavy rain, was sweating on his back.

Because he heard... the other party was not joking.

Jiang Heyue tried his best to keep calm and stabilize his mind.

Jiang Heyue said, "Do you know who I am?"

The other party said without hesitation, "I don't know."

After Jiang He listened, he took a deep breath and prepared to announce his name.

However, at this moment, the other party said again: "I'm not interested in knowing either."

Jiang Heyue: "..."

then……

The topic cannot continue.

After a while, Jiang Heyue said again: "Do you know who sent me to find you?"

After Jiang Heyue finished speaking, Su Bian thought about it.

Since the waiter in the store called the other party an adult, it must be no ordinary person who can command him.

He arrived in the capital during the day and afternoon. He was basically at the inn in the afternoon and had no contact with other people.

So, it's only night.

The people I came into contact with at night, people with a certain status... Except for the weak-minded Emperor Jin, and Xuanyue who seemed and was indeed abnormal, and then there was the one in the Xunfang Pavilion.

Mr. Taiwei, who came into contact indirectly, is Ji Yixiao.

Emperor Jin had only left for a short time, so it couldn't be Emperor Jin.

It couldn't be Xuanyue either, he just left Xuanfu not long ago.

So... there is only Ji Yixiao.

After thinking about it, Su Bian said, "Master Taiwei?"

Jiang Heyue was silent.

Two seconds later, Jiang Heyue said, "How do you know that?"

He didn't answer, Su Bian thought about the only reason why Ji Yixiao would look for him, and said again: "Is it because of the emperor?"

Jiang Heyue: "..."

Jiang Heyue remained silent and did not reply, so Su Bian understood.

Su Bian said, "So that's how it is."

Jiang Heyue couldn't help but twisted his face and said, "Are you a mind reader? Why do you know everything?"

Su Bian ignored it.

Because Su Bian suddenly thought of a way to escape the edict.

According to the weak emperor, apart from Xuan Yue, the most powerful person in the court is Ji Yixiao.

Ji Yixiao is looking for him now, definitely because of the weak emperor.When I meet Ji Yixiao at that time, as long as Ji Yixiao can stop the edict, the position of Jiuqing will be as successful as him.

It doesn't matter.

After thinking about it, Su Bian suddenly let go.

Su Bian said: "Aren't you going to see the Taiwei, let's go."

Jiang Heyue: "????"

Jiang Heyue: "Wait, did you hear what I just said? Do you have mind reading skills? Hey! I'm talking to you!"

Su Bian walked out of the room, leaving Jiang and Yue behind.
