Yao Yao was driven back to Xunluyuan, and Yu Xingye felt uncomfortable, so he ran to Xunlvyuan to pick him up.In the eyes of the servants, Yao Yao was once again favored, and started a new round of currying favor with him.

But after Yu Xingye brought him back this time, he spent less time hanging out with him. Most of the time, he was discussing matters with Grand Master Yu.

Marquis Jiaye ran away, and joined forces with King Qi again, and he was the only one who received the soldier talisman.The imperial court had absolutely no power to restrain the king. As long as Jiayehou was not detained in the capital, he would have no worries at all. He would go to the north to train troops on his own, and wanted to rebel again with great fanfare.

Taishi Yu was caught up in these things and had to enter the palace from time to time. At this time, Yu Xingye wanted to be his personal bodyguard, accompanying him to ensure his safety.

Yao Ximu was bored, so he wandered around Jinling and came to the place where Li Huimao hid his mask.Dig under the root of the crooked-neck tree, dig out the weeds and debris one by one, and then dig out the big bluestone blocking the entrance of the cave, revealing the dark and faint entrance of the cave.

A mole screamed and flew away from Yao Ximu, Yao Ximu ignored it, and carefully took out a square box made of rough pottery from the hole.

Open the box, and the □□ inside has been taken away, leaving a sentence: "Brother is waiting on the Bazhen Jade Food."

Yao Ximu laughed as soon as he saw it, Li Huimao came, and as soon as he came, he ran to the kitchen of Shengyuanfang to steal food.Without thinking, he put the box as it was, and went directly to the kitchen beam of Shengyuanfang to wait for Li Huimao.

When it was time for dinner, Li Huimao came.

Yawning, he picked up a white chicken, crossed its legs on the beam, and gnawed it deliciously.Suddenly a chicken leg was ripped off, Li Huimao turned his head to look, Yao Ximu stuffed the chicken leg into his mouth with a smile.Holding the chicken leg in his mouth, he handed a pot of wine to Li Huimao. The wine was Sangluo wine, mellow and sweet, with a lingering mouthfeel.Li Huimao ate a mouthful of meat, drank a mouthful of wine, one after another, and within a short time, he gnawed the whole chicken until only the skeleton remained.

Probing his head, he caught a glimpse of the cook uncovering the pot and was talking to someone with his body crooked. Li Huimao took the opportunity to throw all the chicken bones into the pot without anyone noticing.Rubbed his oily fingers on the beam, it was not enough, he wiped his body clean, Li Huimao pulled Yao Ximu over, and said softly: "Let's go."

This time, Li Huimao lived in the private garden of Duke Chu in the west of the city, hiding in an attic.

"This place is not bad." Li Huimao took Yao Ximu to wander around in the garden, where the vegetation was lush, and a pomegranate tree was full of fiery red flowers, like clusters of flames burning on the branches.The two jumped to the top of the leafy pomegranate tree.Sitting on a thick branch, a few frightened gray magpies chirped around the two of them for a while, but they couldn't drive the intruder away, so they could only fly high in anger.

"I also think it's good." Yao Ximu agreed: "Has summer arrived? There are few people here and it's cool."

Li Huimao thought of something, and said to Yao Ximu: "Wait, I have to do something." Patted Yao Ximu's head, "I'll come when I go, don't go."

"Brother, what are you going to do? Do you need me to help you?"

Li Huimao waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need it, jumped and moved several times, and his figure disappeared among the branches and leaves.

Yao Ximu used his hands as a pillow, lying on the branches, following the wind and the flowers and leaves fluctuated, the sky light and cloud shadows changed, and the last ray of the setting sun was hidden in the sky.The sky is dark blue, the Chang Gung star is rising, and the river of stars is turning.

The sky turned into a blue flannel covered with broken glass.

Will the fleece be warm?

Yao Ximu thought foolishly.

The branches and leaves trembled, he turned over and sat up, and seeing Li Huimao was carrying a bag on his shoulder, Yao Ximu asked, "Brother, what did you steal from him again?"

"Haitang, I'll see you off."

Li Huimao shook the bag open, Yao Ximu looked at it, and it was indeed full of soft and bright red crabapple flowers.

"Why are you stealing this?" Yao Ximu took the bag hesitantly: "The crabapple fruit can also be used to make wine, but the flowers are poisonous and cannot be eaten."

"There is a young lady in this family who lives in the backyard of the garden. She loves crabapple very much. She regretted it after the rain last year and said, 'If you know it, it should be green, fat, red and thin'. This year I harvested the crabapple tree before the rain. I don’t know what she will chant again.”

"Brother, you are really good." Yao Ximu tied up the bag, jumped down from the treetop, and said with his head up: "That lady must be so sad, what if she gets sick because of it?"

"No." Li Huimao didn't think so, poked his head from the branches and leaves: "It's just a crabapple, it's gone this year and there will be next year."

"That's right." Li Huimao jumped to Yao Ximu's side: "Brother, I've finished dealing with my affairs. I'm afraid you won't be taken care of in Jinling, so come here quickly. How is it? Do you have a clue about your affairs now?"

"Yes." Yao Ximu knew everything about him, and was worried that no one would discuss it, so he told him what happened after he met Yu Xingye.However, he kept in mind Yu Xingye's entrustment, and did not disclose any information about Qionglang Sect to Li Huimao.

"Although he is Grand Master Yu's biological son, he has been planning how to make Grand Master Yu fall from power, bow his head and plead guilty, and completely cleanse the wronged ministers of their crimes."

"There is such a strange thing?" Li Huimao was shocked: "Is there any deep hatred between him and Grand Master Yu? Who is his mother?"

"My grandfather said yes, but I don't know the details. I don't know who his mother is. He lost his mother before he was ten years old. His mother's death probably has something to do with Grand Master Yu."

"Perhaps." Li Huimao put one hand on his hips and touched his chin with the other, thinking: "Then what I stole from Zhu Huaijin is useful?"

"what?

Li Huimao's face was full of rebellion, and he said hesitantly: "I said why he locked me at the bottom of Tianxian Lake at that time, so he thought I had seen his secret." He took out a small leather tube from his pocket , inside is a scroll.

"What is this?" Yao Ximu leaned over to have a look.

"This is what Taishi Yu ordered Zhu Huaijin to do, and it was sealed."

It was dark all around, unable to see the content on the scroll, Li Huimao carefully sealed it and handed it to Yao Ximu: "You take it." He watched Yao Ximu stuff the leather tube into his arms with his head down, and remembered how many times When we met for the first time years ago, the other party looked like a half-grown child, so I couldn't help but want to reach out and touch his head, and found that he was already taller than himself, so Li Huimao retracted his half-stretched hand, Instead, he touched his head.

"Such an important thing, why didn't he burn it, but kept it?"

"Zhu Huaijin is very cautious. He keeps all correspondence, just in case."

"You came and went in Lingxi Pond, and even burned the house, so you haven't encountered the formation again?"

"No, Zhu Huaijin himself doesn't know any powerful formations. I guess the last time you met was set up by an expert he invited, not himself. He doesn't have that much ability, at least he can Can't trap me."

"I understand." Yao Ximu nodded.

"Brother lives in Jinling now, if you need anything, you can leave a message on this pomegranate tree." Li Huimao pointed to the top of the tree: "Above, that place is no longer used."

"Okay." Yao Ximu stared into his eyes and nodded, feeling very touched, and acted coquettishly at Li Huimao: "Brother, luckily I still have you."

"Who will help you if the elder brother doesn't help you?" Li Huimao still patted him on the head, and said: "However, I always feel that Yu Xingye is not a good bird, and you don't need to rely on him for everything. How long are you?" Snack eye."

"Ah."

Yao Ximu blinked and looked at him with a smile.

"Okay." Li Huimao waved his hands boldly: "It's getting late, I'll take you back."

Yao Ximu was polite, but Li Huimao couldn't hold back, so he was sent to a casino and hid in a dark place. Yao Ximu whispered: "Brother, you go back, I want to pretend that I have been here just now."

"I won't go back." Li Huimao moved his neck, looking forward eagerly: "I'm here, I'll go in and play."

Yao Ximu, who was picked up by Yu Xingye's relatives, went back and sat in the carriage. Yao Ximu heard the sound of uniformed soldiers, and opened the curtain to have a look.

The guards were dispatched, as if they were blocking the whole city.

"What happened?" he asked Rong Bin.

Rong Bin rode on the horse, glanced at him, didn't want to talk to him, and said indifferently: "Go home and ask the young master."

"Hey." Yao Ximu lay on the car window, aroused by his attitude, and couldn't help but want to laugh: "You just talk to me like this? Are you afraid that I will go back and sue you in front of the young master?"

Rong Bin followed the carriage unhurriedly, not looking at him anymore.

Yao Ximu looked at Rong Bin, and found that this man had a square face and thick eyebrows, and usually he only thought he was upright, but now he looked a little silly.He chuckled twice, unaware that his own laughter was also very silly.

"Brother Rong." Yao Ximu continued to tease him: "You know, Young Master loves me the most now, I will go back and sue him, do you think you will be punished?"

Rong Bin didn't say a word, Ba Feng didn't move.Yao Ximu's enthusiasm for talking made him amused, and he kept laughing and laughing all the way.

When he arrived at the Grand Master's Mansion, he walked into Yu Xingye's yard laughing and joking, and Yu Xingye followed him in. He hugged his shoulders and asked, "What's so happy about it? I've heard you laugh all the way. "

"It's nothing." Yao Ximu's eyes rolled and fell on Yu Xingye, the smile on his face hadn't dissipated, "I'm just joking with Brother Rong."

"Rong Bin?" Yu Xingye looked back, Rong Bin was not far behind the two of them, and then reprimanded: "Go, go, don't you see that Yao Yao and I are going to whisper? It's so worthless."

After entering the room, Yao Ximu picked up the teapot on the table, pointed directly at the spout, and drank a pot of bud tips soaked in plum snow water.Smacking his lips, feeling that his thirst had been quenched, he turned to talk to Yu Xingye.

"I saw the guards on the way back, and they didn't look like they were from the patrol battalion. Is something wrong?"

"Arrest." Yu Xingye said casually. He sat in front of Yao Ximu, always with a gentle attitude: "I'm happy today?"

"I'm lucky today, I won a few hundred taels by rolling the dice."

The two exchanged some gambling experience through the conversation of throwing dice. When it came to excitement, Yu Xingye's gambling addiction was hooked, and he wanted to go out to gamble.Yao Ximu didn't let him go out, so he called two maidservants, and the four of them set up a leaf show, and they played until the fourth watch, and then they took a rest.
