Thinking

Seeing Jiang Xuan addressing him like that, Qi Si was at a loss, and immediately turned to look at Chong Yi.

Chong Yi was dressed in white, with his arms crossed on his chest, holding the Chunshan Sword, looked at Jiang Xuan with a handsome smile and said, "Where is your master?"

Jiang Xuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Master, don't bully my master, he is in the south of the Yangtze River..."

Yuan Feng looked at them from the side without saying a word, and snorted coldly.

Qi Si: "..."

"You and Jiang Xuan already know each other?" Chong Yi asked Qi Si with a smile.

Qi Si looked at Chong Yi, his mind was very confused: "What uncle? Why did Jiang Xuan call you uncle?"

Chong Yi took it for granted: "Song He is my younger brother, Jiang Xuan is Song He's apprentice, so I am naturally his uncle."

Jiang Xuan was also very surprised: "Your Highness, your master is actually Master Chongyi?"

Qi Si recalled the conversation between Xia Tian and Jiang Xuan during their short time together——

【Qi Si said: "My master is very similar to you, he comes and goes freely, but you are more like his apprentice than me."

【Jiang Xuan smiled and said: "My master and uncle are more similar, maybe we should exchange masters."

Thinking is very messy, it turns out that the person who Chong Yi chases and bullies every time in the ends of the earth is Jiang Xuan's master Song He.

Jiang Xuan looked at Chongyi, then at Yuanfeng, and said hello to Yuanfeng: "I also heard from Master that I know that Uncle Chongyi's eldest apprentice is you."

At the gate of Zuihualou that day, the two almost got into a fight because A Sigu stopped Qi Si, thinking about it, they couldn't laugh or cry.

Yuan Feng nodded very generously, with a calm face: "That's right, what else does your master know that we don't, so hurry up and tell me."

Qi Si nodded along.

Chong Yi was very dissatisfied: "What don't you know? I've said it all, as my teacher, there are only you! Two! Apprentices!"

Jiang Xuan smiled, and said to Yuan Feng: "Yuan Feng... Brother, my master said that he has news about the Northern Sect of Lie Mountain, let me bring it to you."

After finishing speaking, he handed Yuan Feng a letter.

Yuan Feng took the letter without opening it, with a complicated look on his face.

Finally put the letter away, and said to Jiang Xuan: "Thank you...and thank Uncle Song He for me too."

Chong Yi stood leisurely at the side, with a half-smile on his face, and sighed, "Song He is still reliable in his work."

Jiang Xuan said sincerely: "Then master uncle, don't chase after my master to fight next time..."

Knowing that it was Chongyi who asked Uncle Song He to inquire about the news for him, Yuan Feng whispered to Chongyi, "Thank you, Master."

The hem of Chongyi's snow-white clothes fluttered in the wind, holding Chunshan Sword in his arms, with a handsome smile on his face: "What did you say? I can't hear you, Master!"

Yuan Feng: "...didn't say anything!"

But Qi Si was very puzzled: "What is the Northern Sect of Lieshan?"

Jiang Xuan said: "The Northern Sect of Lieshan is a martial arts sect established in the previous dynasty. It has a very high prestige in the world. This generation should be taken over by Senior Brother Yuan Feng. It is a long story."

Qi Si felt that he was the one who was excluded from the truth, so he glanced at Chong Yi and hesitated to speak.

Chong Yi smiled: "You will know when you grow up."

Qi Si: "..."

When they arrived at the official station, both the Pei family and the Xiao family's shadow guards got the news that they had returned. Inside and outside were full of master shadow guards in brocade clothes and wearing swords, with a strong aura.

Qi Si felt this power even at the door, only to realize that he never knew Xiao Zhi before.

Yuan Feng was unmoved, he was naturally unruly, it seemed that he could not be frightened by anything he saw, and he always had the aura of home court wherever he went.

Xiao Zhi came out from the official post to greet him, saw Qi Si, looked at him for a moment, then stepped forward to salute, "Your Highness."

Looking at Xiao Zhi, Qi Si felt as if it had been a lifetime since Xiao Zhi bid farewell to Jiang Xunyan in his prime minister's mansion that day, and they hadn't seen each other for nearly a year.

Xiao Zhi was wearing a strong black outfit of Shenyingwei, a brocade cloak, a long body, and the Shenshui sword still attached to his body. His handsome face did not change a bit, and his clear eyes were like the lake outside the Great Wall, making it hard to see through.

Qi Si also greeted, "Long time no see."

Xiao Zhi stared at him and paused, then turned sideways to welcome them into the official post.

In the lobby, Pei Nanxian also brought people to wait. When he saw Qi Si, he smiled, but his eyes never warmed up, and said, "Your Majesty has suffered because of the ineffectiveness of my humble post."

Qi Si shook his head and said nothing.

Several people sat in the lobby of the official post, the wind was strong outside, the charcoal fire inside was warm, and the shadow guards stood beside them, with a strong aura, and the atmosphere was very solemn for a while.

Xiao Zhi asked his shadow guard to retreat first, Pei Nanxian said with a smile: "Your Majesty and His Highness haven't seen each other for a long time, we must catch up, so I won't bother you for the time being", and then took Pei's shadow guard to avoid it for the time being.

Xiao Zhi and Qi Si and his party remained in the room, Xiao Zhi got up and clasped his fists at Yuan Feng, Chong Yi, and A Sigu: "I heard that some of them saved His Highness, and Yan Guohe is very grateful to you all."

Yuan Feng waved his hand, and Asigu said, "We have a predestined relationship with Yu Ke."

A few people sat down, Xiao Zhi looked at Qi Si, his clear eyes were calm but with some concern, his voice was still clear, and he asked, "How is your body?"

Qi Si smiled and said, "Master has found a prescription, and the heart disease has been cured."

Xiao Zhi's eyes were slightly bent, and he said with a smile: "That's good."

He added: "When I returned to the palace a few days ago, Your Majesty asked us to come to you immediately. Lord Jiang was also very worried, but I still couldn't find His Highness in time. I was negligent in my duty."

Looking at his familiar smile, Qi Si let go of many things in his heart, shook his head and smiled and said, "I'm fine, you've worked hard all the way here, the world is so big, it's not easy to find someone."

Xiao Zhi tilted his head slightly, looked at Qi Si, his clear eyes reflected Qi Si's figure, and said with a faint smile: "You have grown up."

Qi Si bowed his head and staggered his gaze, and smiled generously after a while and said, "When I first came to Yan Kingdom, I was grateful for your care."

Xiao Zhi smiled, did not answer, just said: "Don't be nervous later, I will ask you to answer, if you don't want to talk, just tell me."

Then he got up, called Xiao's shadow guard over, and asked Pei Nanxian and the others to come over as well, and the director of Great Liang was also present, and the three parties asked and recorded their confessions together.

Qi Si took a few deep breaths to organize his thoughts, he knew that they were going to start investigating things.

Everyone in the room had solemn expressions, Xiao Zhi and Pei Nanxian looked at each other, they both nodded, Pei Nanxian had a half-smile on his face.

On the side, there was a shadow guard who recorded their conversation and listed and sorted out the evidence.

Shenying guards have high authority and ability. When the emperor gave them the case, they took over with full authority, checked and recorded the interrogation, until the final decision was handed over to the emperor and the court for decision. The whole matter was basically under their control.

Xiao Zhi went about his routine, asking every detail of the record since Qisi was robbed out of Jiangfu.

The whole room listened silently. From the time when he became conscious for the first time, he talked about how Duji Hubu used drugs to control him all the way. He only woke up for a quarter of an hour every day. Later, he went all the way out of Wu'an Prefecture in Karaqin Town. Finding an opportunity to escape overnight, he stayed at Kuermo Ridge for help during the day, and encountered bandits and stragglers in the canyon until Yuan Feng rescued him and sent him to Yunnei Prefecture to find Xiao Zhi.

This time is different from the New Year's Eve palace banquet, there is no need for Qi Si to hide anything, and he told the truth, but he omitted some things when talking about Yuan Feng and the others.

The way Xiao Zhi asked questions was no different from his usual way of doing things, but his tone was obviously relaxed, and he kept observing Qi Si's expression.

During the period, Pei Nanxian also raised some questions and added many details.

Qi Si didn't want to talk about the painful details along the way, recalling it made him very uncomfortable, but he still answered them one by one as calmly as possible.

Hearing Qi Si say that he didn't really escape until Karaqin Town, because he used every opportunity to adapt to the heartache along the way, and he could only guarantee one chance to escape, Xiao Zhi's eyes moved away from Qi Si for the first time. After driving for a while, his eyelashes drooped, and he couldn't see his emotions clearly.

Afterwards, Yuan Feng, A Sigu, and Chong Yi all recorded a confession, although they could refuse, but because they had discussed it before, they all cooperated, avoided some processes, and many processes only said they did not know.

Finally, Qi Si asked Xiao Zhi alone: ​​"What will you do?"

Xiao Zhi thought about it, and replied: "If you accuse Duji bluntly, Yan Guo will definitely ask Daliang for someone, but Yan Guo has insufficient evidence, and Duji belongs to the eldest prince. In the end, it depends on what the King of Daliang will do. .”

After a pause, he said again: "Yan State is still suppressing this matter. Jin State has not heard of it, but even if it knows, there is nothing that can be done in this situation."

After listening to Qi Si, it was almost the same as what he imagined. Everyone had a different standpoint from Yan and Daliang. Even if Emperor Su ordered Duji's life by name, King Daliang refused to cooperate. There was nothing he could do. The Three Kingdoms cannot be allowed to go to war in order to hurt a lunatic who shot him in the future.

The most important thing is that there are not enough clues left by Duji along the way. Compared with the threat that night on the Bafangtai, this time there is not even a single witness other than Qi Si and Duji Fulbu.

Qi Si smiled helplessly: "It's a blessing to be able to go back alive, and there will be a long time to come to punish Duji Hubu."

Xiao Zhi looked at him, hesitated to speak for a moment, and finally said: "It's good to think like this."

Qi Si understood what he meant and nodded.

In the next few days, after being welcomed back by the Shen Yingwei, Qi Si lived in the official post.

A Sigu dragged Yuan Feng to live in, Xiao Zhi simply arranged rooms for Chongyi and Jiang Xuan, Shenyingwei had to go to other places to do a lot of things, Pei Nanxian's attitude was unclear, and it was safe to have friends by Qisi's side.

Xiao Zhi and Pei Nanxian went to the Great Liang Palace to meet the Great Liang King and the First Prince as envoys, and presented the confession records and a bunch of evidence clues.

The eldest prince naturally claimed that he didn't know about it, and Duji Hubu's actions were indeed hidden from the eldest prince, but he was unwilling to hand over Duji Hubu, and he just shirked and refused to admit it.

King Daliang's attitude was ambiguous, and finally, under Xiao Zhi's strong attitude, he was threatened by the blockade of a trade route and expressed his position, saying that he would definitely give Yan Guo an answer.

This business line was a weight given to Xiao Zhi by Emperor Su before his departure, and Great Liang naturally had his own weight in his hands. The threat can only be moderated, and we can only wait and see how far King Great Liang can do it.

The King of Great Liang also sent someone to visit Qisi, he didn't say anything about Yuan Feng and A Sigu's stay in the inn, but he also asked them what happened, and the two impatiently repeated what they said in advance.

But officials seem to keep asking them the same questions over and over because they don't get the answers they want.

Yuan Feng was extremely rude and uncooperative. Every time the officials of Daliang asked him, they would be terrified, especially when they repeated the things he had asked.

Yuan Feng coldly replied "Because I am willing" to the Daliang official who asked him why he saved Qi Si for the second time.

To the officials who repeatedly asked him why he didn't hand over Qisi to the Daliang Palace, he replied impatiently, "None of your business".

As for the official who asked him for the third time what his relationship with Qi Si was, he cut off half of the man's hat with a sword and kicked him out of the room.

Since then, no one has bothered him and Asgu.

Qi Si quietly asked Asigu if Yuan Feng would be punished for doing this, and what to do if the King of Great Liang was angry.

A Sigu smiled and said: "Yuan Bing is the king's adopted son, and the king's favorite concubine is Yuan Bing's aunt."

Qi Si was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Yuan Feng to be a member of the Great Liang royal family.
