Rebellious officials bow their heads

Xie Linze turned to the officials below, stood up and toasted, and said with a faint smile, "Why are you so quiet? Speaking of which, this is the first time I've hosted a banquet with all my lovers since I went to court. Come, I respect you all! A cup for the humerus."

Only then did the stiff atmosphere of the full house gradually loosen. No matter what kind of ghosts they had behind their backs, everyone was drinking together with laughter at this moment.

Xie Linze noticed that Xiuxiu waited for several dancers to retreat, and was about to leave from the left aisle. As soon as he got up from his seat, Ji Han asked, "Where are you going?"

"Go down and rest for a while." Xie Linze walked out without looking back, leaving behind Ji Han and Qing Ci.

Normally, Ji Han would not let him leave, but this time he was in a turmoil, ignored him, did not stop him, and just drank one cup after another.

Xie Linze walked quickly through the inner hall, away from the hustle and bustle, and came to the veranda outside. He saw a group of dancers just disappearing around the corner, and he followed them, but he didn't see them. It is a quiet night and rolling shadows.

Suddenly there was a series of footsteps ahead, Xie Linze followed and called out, "Xiuxiu?"

The footsteps were speeding up, Xie Linze started to run, and shouted to the slender figure in front of him: "Wait! I have something to ask you..."

But Xiuxiu didn't seem to hear it, didn't look back, and ran up the stone steps directly, disappearing into the darkness.

Xie Linze came to the place where she left, and in front of him was a majestic library pavilion. He cut off a branch from the side, picked up a candle that was about to burn out from the bottom of the palace lamp, and walked into the pavilion with a gap open.

Inside was the bottomless darkness, Xie Linze remembered that there were several luminous pearls embedded in the walls of the pavilion, and when the candlelight shone on the walls, it was empty.

He faintly sensed something was wrong, took a few steps back, and was about to leave here when he heard a rattling sound behind him.

He turned around suddenly, and the branch passed forward, and the flickering candle illuminated the man standing at the end of the darkness.

Xu Yan was wearing a black-woven flying fish over-the-shoulder robe with a belt tied around his waist, and one hand rested on the first knife around his waist and crotch. The lights cast shadows on his deeply contoured face, and he met the other party's gaze without any emotion. nodded slightly.

It seemed to tell him that there was no need to feel unbelievable about who actually appeared in front of him.

Xie Linze's heart tightened suddenly, and there was a moment of silence in the pavilion. He quickly threw the candle branch, turned around and rushed out of the door, and heard a loud shout from behind: "——Xie Linze!"

He didn't stop, just one step away from the door, the wind blew up behind his ears, the icy cold air whizzed past, a blade gleaming with cold light barely brushed his temples, whirled and flew towards him, with a loud clang Ring the card into the door frames on both sides, and block him in front of him!

Xie Linze's pupils constricted. Turning his head, Xu Yanzheng lowered his knife-throwing right arm and asked coldly, "Where do you want to go?"

Although Xie Linze had expected it, he was still stunned at this moment. Just as he turned his head and glanced at the night outside the door, Xu Yan had already approached and put his hand on his shoulder, "You are in the crow forest in Lingbei..."

He didn't finish his sentence when the other party suddenly turned his head and punched him in the face!

Xu Yan didn't have any defenses at all, he was hit hard, and took a step back to stabilize his body. Nosebleeds came out, he raised his hand to wipe the blood, and looked at the other party in disbelief.

Xie Linze withdrew his hand and looked at him sullenly, "Who allowed you to enter the palace?"

"This sounds really familiar." Xu Yan reacted, smiled coldly, missed the other party, pulled out the knife deeply embedded in the door frame, and slammed the door, "Do you think I won't hit you?" ?”

The glazed lamp in Qinglu Hall was as bright as daytime, and all the ministers were drinking wine. Ji Han swallowed a few glasses of wine, and finally suppressed his trance. He glanced to the side, but found that neither of them was in his seat.

He waved to his attendants and asked, "Where are the emperor and the national teacher?"

The attendant replied: "The national teacher has already left the palace. The emperor said that he went outside for a walk, but he hasn't come back yet."

Looking at the feast below, Ji Han gradually frowned, and suddenly got up and strode to the left passage, "Send a team of imperial guards to follow me to find the emperor."

In the Library Pavilion not far from Qinglu Hall, the light was dim, and there was only one candle emitting a faint glow.

Xu Yan pushed Xie Linze, but he didn't use much force, but the man didn't expect him to fight back, and was pushed back a few steps.

Xie Linze stood still, then turned his head to look around, picked up a heavy scripture from the bookshelf and threw it at him!

Xu Yan dodged sideways, the scriptures were thicker than a fist, and hit the ground like a cannonball. He looked at Xie Linze angrily, but five or six scriptures followed one after another!

He couldn't dodge, and was hurt by the blow. Seeing that Xie Linze wanted to leave, he was even more furious. He stepped forward and grabbed his wrist, but the other party broke away like a snake, turned back, and held back his shoulders.

Before Xu Yan could turn his head, he kicked him on the crook of his leg, and immediately knelt on the floor with one knee.

Xie Linze panted and said to him: "You are only allowed to leave here before dawn, and take your minions with you, do you hear me?"

Xu Yan raised his head slowly, his eyes were bloodshot.

Xie Linze didn't get his answer for a long while, and could only see his back, so he asked again: "I heard... ah!"

The situation turned around in an instant, Xu Yan pressed the ground with one hand, and swept back with the other leg, Xie Linze fell to the ground immediately, leaving no time for him to get up, the man pressed his legs, and caught his fist in the next moment !

A huge shadow covered Xie Linze's body, and the veins on Xu Yan's forehead bulged: "Very well, you finally stopped pretending with me. Since you are so skilled, let's compare who wins and loses?"

The emperor under him looked at him, feeling a strong danger, like a blade hanging on his neck, he stiffened for a few breaths, and did not move any more.

"'Who allowed you to enter the palace', I remember you said it a long time ago, and your thoughts have not changed since then." Xu Yan's hot breath fell on the man's face.

Xie Linze seemed to be pinched, and said awkwardly, "Didn't you say you don't remember?"

"Unfortunately, I have never forgotten what you said, Your Majesty." Xu Yan's face was close to his ear, and at this moment, Xie Linze took the opportunity to lift his knee and slam into the opponent's lower body. go!

Xu Yan didn't expect that he would make a move, but felt a burst of burning pain from under his body, coughed, and Xie Linze had already run out.

Regardless of the pain, Xu Yan gritted his teeth and got up from the ground, grabbed the opponent's hair in two steps, and pulled him back.

Xie Linze's hair was caught and he could only throw it back. The jade hairpin, which was already crooked, fell to the ground. Not to be outdone, he turned around and grabbed the man's arm, and bit down heavily with his mouth open!

Xu Yan knew that he must be bleeding from the bite, so while pulling out the opponent's hair, he pushed his face away with all his strength.

Just as the two were fighting together, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and the lights outside were projected on the paper window.

Ji Han led a group of imperial guards who had been sharply armored and came aggressively, and then the leader kicked the door open with a bang!

More than a dozen imperial guards poured in from both sides with torches in hand. Ji Han looked inside and saw that the pavilion was empty, with books scattered on the ground and sawdust scattered. It was obvious that there were signs of a fight.

"Search for me." Ji Han said coldly.

The imperial guards searched around among the bookshelves, but they didn't know that there were two people sitting on the beams of the roof above them.

Xie Linze was held in Xu Yan's arms, holding his breath, but felt that something was wrong, touched his loose hair, and found that the jade hairpin was missing, and was immediately startled.

Before looking down, Xu Yan suddenly raised his hand towards him, and there was a jade hairpin in his slender hand.

Xie Linze had just settled down, but the other party held him tightly with one hand and raised his chin with the other.

Xu Yan bent down, kissed the bright red lips involuntarily, and the hot tip of his tongue opened his teeth, entangled with the other's lips and tongue.

Xie Linze was stunned, he didn't expect Xu Yan's sudden move, at this moment, Ji Han was right under their feet, and there were so many imperial troops, if they were not careful, they would be discovered.

He didn't have time to be surprised, he was so breathless by the other party's kiss, he wanted to struggle but he couldn't move at all, so he had to meet this extremely aggressive kiss, feel the other party's lips and tongues rubbing deeply, and entangled with him, like drowning into the fiery water.

His breath became more and more chaotic, and suddenly he heard the guards below speak, which awakened his sanity, crossed his shoulders and wanted to push away Xu Yan, but the other party held him tight and bit his lower lip hard at the same time .

Xie Linze didn't expect that the other party would bite again, and he couldn't help but cry out in pain, but was blocked back in his throat firmly by Xu Yan.

When the two separated, a long silver thread was drawn between the lips and teeth, Xu Yan looked at the man in front of him with deep eyes.

Xie Linze's long hair was disheveled and scattered, his face was like a crown jade, his lips changed from thin red to carmine, stained with a seductive water color, and tiny drops of blood were oozing from the wound.

Under them, the forbidden army searched to no avail. After reporting back to Ji's letter, the man finally swept around the pavilion, turned around and left with others.

The huge Library Pavilion was quiet again. Xie Linze put one hand on Xu Yan's chest to prevent him from getting closer. After a few breaths, he calmly said: "Don't let Ji Han find out your whereabouts."

"You just want to tell me this?" Xu Yanyan wiped away the blood from the man's lips.

Xie Linze looked up at him, blinked, and then looked away, "You shouldn't have come, you shouldn't have been involved in the vortex of the court."

Xu Yan didn't get the answer he wanted, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Then I'll kill Ji Han directly, how about ending all this?"

He didn't expect Xie Linze to say in an unquestionable tone: "Ji Han can't die now, it's still useful to save his life."

Xu Yan frowned deeply.

Xie Linze said: "Ji Han must be looking for me everywhere now, you send me back to Taixuan Hall first."

The man on the opposite side didn't move, Xie Linze looked at him, Xu Yan's left eye socket was bruised, because of the fight just now, his whole body revealed a sense of embarrassment.

He couldn't help but burst out laughing, the frozen atmosphere broke instantly, and the uncontrollable laughter gradually amplified and echoed in the room, then he remembered something, and said with a smile: "Just now the play in the palace , I really have you, but it's a pity you didn't see how exciting Ji Han's face is."

He laughed so much that his chest was trembling, and he raised his hand to scratch Xu Yan's chin with a green beard, "I'm afraid Ji Han doesn't even know who made the hands and feet, you can do this, to be honest, I'm afraid It was unexpected."

"Stop laughing." Xu Yan pinned his shoulders helplessly, picked him up horizontally, jumped off the beam, left Zangshu Pavilion, and rushed towards Taixuan Hall.

When Xie Linze walked into the dormitory alone, Ji Han stood in front of the table with his hands behind his back, saw him come in and asked coldly, "Where have you been?"

"Turned around in the imperial garden to get some fresh air." He sat down on the side of the couch, "Full imperial guards, where do you think I can go?"

Ji Han's face sank like water: "Just to breathe? I'm afraid you are very happy to see the dinner today?"

Xie Linze spread his hands: "Ji Shoufu was too worried, I was as surprised by this as everyone present."

Ji Han stared at him closely, "Really? After the dinner, I sent someone to check the origin of the dancer girl, but found that she disappeared after she left Qinglu Hall, and the imperial army searched for someone in the library. The traces left by the fight, do you think these two things are connected?"
