After dinner, the sky outside is as thick as water, and the cool moonlight casts a layer of clear water gauze on the eaves of thousands of households, and all the low chirping of insects and birds returns to silence as night falls.

The room was very quiet, and Li Ruqi was still tied up and sitting on that chair, but unlike before, he had been dragged to the corner of the room, with his head raised, looking at In the corner of the top of the head, like mushrooms growing from the cracks in the wall, the poisonous mouth that babbled did not make the slightest sound from the beginning to the end.

It's not that he didn't dare to say it.Li Ruqi thought so, after all, he and a dull gourd are the only ones in this room, so there is something to talk about.

He was just about to close his eyes and rest, when the door was suddenly knocked twice.

Min Shao went to open the door, a handsome and gentle face appeared outside the door, those clear and deep black peach blossom eyes looked at him, then glanced into the room, said: "Your Majesty, have you rested?"

Min Shao said: "No."

Seeing that he seemed to have something to say, Min Shao asked again: "Is there something wrong?"

Wen Xuan hesitated for a while, and said: "That's it, I have to send Li to the palace tomorrow as scheduled, and it may take two or three days after I hand over this task. You might as well go back to Yuyang tomorrow, Mr. After I deal with this matter, I will go there as soon as possible to find Wuhun Lingzhi for you."

Min Shao frowned slightly, "Are you escorting him back alone?"

Wen Xuan nodded and said, "Well, I can do it by myself."

"..." Min Shao's face darkened slightly.

It wasn't that he suspected that Wen Xuan's cultivation was not enough, on the contrary, he had always known that Wen Xuan's aptitude and talent were not much worse than his own, plus he was also a direct disciple of Taixuan Patriarch, Wen Xuan's cultivation had always been a leader in the cultivation world. They are all outstanding leaders, but due to various reasons, in the eyes of the world who don't know the truth, he has been faded a lot.

However, people like Li Ruqi are an exception.

His cultivation level may not be as high as Wen Xuan's, but judging from the short two days of contact, his ability is not bad. In addition, his temperament is not loyal enough, and his temperament is more than cunning.

On the other hand, Wen Xuan, although he has also experienced several life and death battles, his personality is much more docile than an old fritter like Li Ruqi.If it is necessary to describe it, then in Min Shao's eyes, Li Ruqi is probably like a beast with hidden bones, while Wen Xuan is just a friendly and harmless white cat. Comparing the two, the mild-tempered one is definitely more disadvantaged Some.

In the final analysis, Min Shao was not at ease when Wen Xuan was asked to escort Li back as scheduled alone.

But right now there is no better candidate who can go with him, Min Shao glanced at him lightly, and said without doubt: "I will go with you."

Wen Xuan paused when he heard the words, and his expression became a little complicated for a while, but there was no joy in it, and asked: "Go together? Why?"

"If this person is not properly escorted, it will only waste more time. I don't have that much time to wait." Min Shao said coldly.

Wen Xuan opened his mouth and seemed to want to speak, but in the end he had nothing to say, so he reluctantly said: "...Okay."

Min Shao was keenly aware of his tone, and out of face, he said with a cold face: "If you don't want to, forget it, I don't have so much free time to accompany you."

"...No, I'm quite willing." Wen Xuan said unwillingly.

After all, he even used "孤", so he couldn't refute his face anymore.

Min Shao: "..."

"That's it, Your Majesty, rest early."

After Wen Xuan finished speaking, he left. Although Min Shao hesitated, he didn't say anything, and went back to the house and closed the door.

However, less than half an hour later, the door rang again.

At that time, most of the lights in every house on the street had been extinguished, but in the inn, indistinct quarrels could still be heard occasionally outside the door.Min Shao just took off his outer clothes and hung them on the rack, but he was still wearing a decent black robe, his hair crown was not removed, and the hair crown with black obsidian silver edge still tied his black hair neatly——

This is the habit Yu Yangjun maintains when he is away. If there is an emergency, it will save some unnecessary troubles.

The person outside the door was still Wen Xuan.

Seeing that he had something to say all over his face, Min Shao frowned and asked, "Is there anything else you can do with me?"

Wen Xuan paused, "I have something to do, but... this time I'm not looking for you, but for Li Ruqi."

"..."

Min Shao stepped back sideways to let him in, Wen Xuan walked up to the man who was tied in a corner with his eyes closed, took a closer look, and said, "Is he asleep?"

"Installed."

"..." In this case, Wen Xuan didn't care whether he opened his eyes or not, and asked directly: "Li Ruqi, have you seen that old man who sells things in Yuelao Temple before?"

Li Ruqi tilted his head when he heard the words, opened his eyes and glanced at him, then closed them lazily, and said perfunctorily, "No."

Wen Xuan frowned, "Have you seen it?"

Min Shao came over, seeing him pretending to be dead for a long while and not answering, he only uttered two words in a cold voice: "Speak."

Li Ruqi seemed to be able to feel the coercion with his eyes closed, he opened his eyes a little depressed, finally turned his face away, and said, "I don't know if I've seen it or not, even if I did, I would have forgotten it." , I have seen so many old men all day long, how do I know which one you are talking about?"

Wen Xuan frowned.

Min Shao glanced at his expression, "What happened?"

Wen Xuan's face was a little gloomy, and he didn't intend to hide it, and said: "Just now the yamen servant in Qingping Town came to inform that the old man was dead, and the body was found a day ago, that is, the day we found the blood cave. But the body It has been burnt to such an extent that nothing can be seen. And... after verification, this person's background is very vague, and he should not be from Dongjing."

"In my opinion, he should be just a stepping stone to be pulled to fuel the flames, and we won't find any useful clues from him." When Wen Xuan was serious, his expression was clear and cold, and his slender and thick eyelashes cast shadows under his eyes. A small piece of shadow, very beautiful.

Before Min Shao could speak, Li Ruqi sneered.

He rested his head on the back of the chair, with a leisurely attitude when he was tied up, and said sarcastic words: "I have already said that there is someone else behind the scenes, if you don't hurry up and find out who is the culprit, you will have to spend it with me. You still ask me, is it useful for you to ask me? If I have the ability to reach the sky, it won't be long..."

Before he finished speaking, Min Shao kicked him on the chair and said coldly, "Shut up."

Li Ruqi's mouth treats the symptoms but not the root cause, it can't be cured for a while, and even if he doesn't open his mouth, he still wants to let out a mocking hum from his nose, then closes his eyes and continues to be safe. Pretend to be asleep.

"..."

Wen Xuan was too lazy to argue with him, so he turned to Min Shao and said, "By the way, I haven't told Master Mingwei about this..." At this point, he suddenly paused, and said, "He and Qing Xuandao-Jun There was a fight, and a lot of noise."

But to be precise, it should be Mingwei's real person who quarreled unilaterally.

Min Shao frowned, "Why?"

No wonder there was some noise in the corridor, but shouldn't Master Mingwei be healing Taoist Qing Xuandao at this time?Why are you arguing at such a time?

Mentioning this, Wen Xuan lowered his voice, and said, "It seems that Master Qingxuan was seriously injured in the Xuekudong and dealt with the bloody bones alone, which made Master Mingwei angry, and it hasn't disappeared until now."

"..."

Li Ruqi opened his eyes unconsciously when he heard the gossip, and suddenly remembered the inappropriate phrase "Why don't you go to me first" when Master Mingwei was in the Blood Cave.

"...Tsk."

Min Shao naturally understood something, but he never liked to inquire about other people's affairs, even if he had some guesses, his face was still expressionless.

But after a while, he suddenly thought of something.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at Wen Xuan with deep eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Did you go to eavesdrop just now?"

Wen Xuan: "..."

Wen Xuan opened his eyes slightly, with "what the hell are you talking about" written all over his face.Although it looks flawless, Min Shao knows that this is the expression he most often makes when he is guilty of lying.

He said: "I just passed by their door when I came back, and I happened to hear something, what are you thinking?"

Min Shao said indifferently: "Really."

But Min Shao has been deceived by his expression so many times that he can easily make a judgment from his expression without extra practice and verification.

People's habits are raised from childhood to adulthood, and even in the past hundred years, it is hard to get rid of. Wen Xuan has become accustomed to making those small movements when lying, just like Min Shao has become accustomed to paying attention to capturing the details of his expressions when speaking, such as In the past, whenever he had identified the culprit and questioned Master Wen Xuanxing, he would ask questions such as "Did you break the porcelain bottle", "Did you overturn the ink in the room", "Did the meat in the dish be yours?" "Secretly eat up" and other such questions, before lying, the "prisoner" will show a subtle movement of wide-eyed eyes, and then absolutely and firmly deny it.

I'm afraid even Wen Xuan himself has never noticed this detail, but Min Shao has been able to grasp it quite accurately.

But he didn't intend to delve into this matter. After all, Mingwei didn't set up a soundproof barrier when he quarreled, and even he could hear it here, let alone in the corridor.

So he just said lightly: "It's getting late, go back and rest."

However, Wen Xuan hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said: "But Daoist Mingwei... don't worry about it? Qing Xuan Daojun was seriously injured today, and the two of them just quarreled. If there is any dispute, the injury will be exacerbated But what to do."

Min Shao didn't understand his intention, but he didn't think he would simply care about Chu Mianfeng's injury, so he just asked, "What do you want to do?"

Wen Xuan turned his eyes and looked at the other person in the room. When he saw this, Min Shao naturally followed his gaze...

Li Ruqi noticed those two gazes, and his face was incredulous: "...Why are you looking at me like that?"

Wen Xuan seemed to have pondered for a while, and said lightly: "Well, I will take you to Qingxuan Daojun's room. It is estimated that there are outsiders present, and Mingwei Daoist will not be able to quarrel anymore. You will stay there tonight Bar."

Immediately, as if it had been agreed, he said, "Come with me now."

"..."

Min Shao understood now.

Wen Xuan really just came to see Li Ruqi tonight.Not only that, but he didn't hesitate to use such a lame excuse to go out alone with Li Rushou, not knowing what he wanted to talk about.

But... what can these two people who have nothing to do with each other talk about?And you have to avoid what other people can say?

Min Shao frowned slightly, he didn't remember the friendship between Wen Xuan and Li Ruqi in the last life, and even Wen Xuan might not have gone to Qingping Town at all if he hadn't been influenced by himself to change the original development of this life. Not to mention meeting Li Ruqi here, as these two people are, it is almost impossible to have any intersection in the future.

So Wen Xuan... what exactly is he trying to do?

But Min Shao didn't ask this question.

Because he was almost sure that if he asked the last question, Wen Xuan would have the cheek to say that taking this person away was just to persuade a fight.

After thinking about it for a moment, he heard Wen Xuan continue to say: "As for Mr. Qing Xuandao... He explained that Mr. Jun has a serious obsession with cleanliness, and he doesn't like to spend the night with others in the room, so he brought them out as a last resort. "

After Wen Xuan finished speaking, she paused, looked at Min Shao, and asked tentatively, "...is it okay?"

Min Shao's forehead twitched suddenly.

Telling a little lie and finding a lame excuse to ask someone is fine. Since it has nothing to do with me, I can pretend that I didn't see it, but now he is trying to weave a lie on himself?When did I become so tolerant to him? !

Min Shao couldn't help but look complicated, and gave him a cold look.

"Don't take an inch."
