"The commander is joking, we are all people who work for the emperor, so naturally the emperor is the most important.

The emperor told our family today that the thief must be caught.Since this person is not here with the commander, it is not appropriate for our family to stay longer, and we should hurry up and investigate the whereabouts of the thief. "Wang Hai didn't want to go head-to-head with Ling Duanyi. After all, Ling Duanyi couldn't use his hands. If he uploaded the confrontation to the emperor, it would be a waste of money.

"It's okay to leave." Ling Duanyi said coldly, and then closed the door.

Ling Duanyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if Li Mingsi hadn't used ventriloquist to imitate his voice just now, maybe he would have fallen into the hands of Wang Hai again.

"He's gone." Ling Duanyi said to Li Ming who was in the bathtub until the footsteps outside the house became farther and farther away, and he could no longer hear any footsteps.

"..." After a long time, Ling Duanyi didn't hear Li Mingsi's answer, so he couldn't help feeling puzzled, and walked quickly towards the tub.

"Li..." When he saw the scene in the bathtub, he was immediately stunned.

Li Mingsi leaned back on the bathtub, closed his eyes lightly, and frowned slightly.From the corner of the lips, glaring blood kept gushing out, sliding down the chin and neck, and finally mixed into the warm water.

Ling Duanyi bent down to lift Li Mingsi out of the water, rubbed his warm and delicate skin against his slightly rough palms, and the white skin moistened by the warm water looked a little more illusory and blurred under the mist.

Ling Duanyi didn't know why, but his heart was beating violently.

He shook his head, then picked Li Mingsi up from the tub, fortunately Li Mingsi still had a pair of loose obscene trousers hanging around his waist.

Without thinking too much, Ling Duanyi wrapped his clothes around Li Mingsi's body, pushed open the door, and walked towards his residence with Li Mingsi in his arms like the wind.

………………

Moonlight leaked into the house through the half-closed Xiaoxuan window.After a while, there was only a creaking sound, and the closed wooden door was slowly pushed open, and the clear light shone on the blue-gray stone bricks.

Ling Duanyi stepped into the door, put Li Mingsi on the bed, untied his clothes, and covered him with a thin quilt.Then, he turned around and walked to the table, took out the torch and lit the candle on the lamp.

Candles flickered, illuminating the room.

Ling Duanyi blew the switch off, walked slowly to the big wooden box beside him, opened the box, and took out a bottle of medicine from it.

This medicine was so precious that Ling Duanyi was not willing to use it, but now that Li Ming's life was at stake, he couldn't care less about it.

He walked up to the side of the couch and sat down, pulled the red stopper off the medicine bottle, poured out a pill, and gave Li Mingsi the medicine to take.

The messy strands of hair stuck to Li Mingsi's face, and Ling Duanyi couldn't help but reach out and brush a few strands of black hair behind Li Mingsi's ears.

Outside the Xuan window, the night is very heavy, and the jade toad is in the sky.The red gauze lanterns hanging between the slats swayed with the wind, and the fireflies also shuttled back and forth among the grass.Worms whisper, trees shake and rustle.

After a busy night, Ling Duanyi also felt a little tired, his heavy eyelids were so sleepy that he couldn't open them, they closed them slowly, and fell asleep on the edge of the couch.

Suddenly, a round of breeze was drawn in, and the candles on the lamps were blown out. The light and shadow were dim, and it returned to tranquility.

The next morning.

Li Mingsi slowly opened his eyes, and before he had time to look at the surrounding situation, suddenly bursts of severe pain came from his head, Li Mingsi frowned slightly, and hissed coldly.He reached out and rubbed his temples, only to feel his headache relieved.

where is this...

Li Mingsi rubbed his temples while looking around.

The sun is shining quietly on the desk, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant outside Xiaoxuan's window.

Li Mingsi still remembered that he soaked in the bathtub last night, and he helped Ling Duanyi with ventriloquism in order to return Ling Duanyi's favor.Unexpectedly, there was a sudden sharp pain in his chest, and he was afraid of being heard by Wang Hai, so he had to grit his teeth and curl up in the bathtub, hoping to reduce the pain.

Suddenly he felt his stomach churning, and then his throat was bitter and sweet, glaring blood flowed down the corner of his mouth, the scene in front of him gradually began to spin, and finally his eyes darkened, and he passed out.

Although I don't know the reason, I'm afraid it was overshadowed by Wang Hai's stray dog.

Li Mingsi slowed down his thoughts, turned his head to look out, and happened to see Ling Duanyi lying on the couch.Ling Duanyi was handsome, with a dash of heroism in his sharp eyebrows.

"Are you awake?" Ling Duanyi slowly opened his eyes, looking at Li Mingsi and said.

"Yeah." Li Mingsi replied: "It was thanks to you last night, otherwise, I'm afraid I would have been captured by that dog Wang Hai."

"You were in danger for me, and if I want to die without saving my life, it seems that I have a small stomach and no morals." Ling Duanyi said: "Since you are awake, let's go quickly."

"I haven't recovered from my injury, why are you rushing me away in such a hurry?" Hearing this, Li Mingsi raised his eyebrows.

"That's not true. This place is Beizhen Fusi. You are a thief, and I am an official. Since ancient times, officials and thieves have always been incompatible, so you can't stay here." Ling Duanyi said.

"Are you afraid that Wang Hai will find someone to investigate?" Hearing this, Li Mingsi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't rely on you." Then, Li Mingsi stood up with one hand and looked at Ling Duanyi: "As for Yupei, with my current appearance, I'm afraid it will have to be delayed for a few days."

"Ah."

"You're so heartless..." Li Mingsi gave Ling Duanyi a white look: "Thanks to me talking to you yesterday, you just sent me away?"

"..." Other than um, Ling Duanyi didn't know what to say. "The clothes are ready for you."

Li Mingsi got out of bed, put on the clothes prepared by Ling Duanyi, and fastened his belt. Li Mingsi stood on the spot and turned around a few times, "The clothes fit you well, not bad."

"It's fine."

"After four days, I will come to you again." While speaking, Li Mingsi had already walked towards the door.

"that……"

"Huh?" Hearing this, Li Mingsi paused for a while, turned around to look at Ling Duanyi and asked, "What's wrong?"

"No, nothing."

"See you later~" After saying that, Li Mingsi disappeared at the door.

It took a long time for Ling Duanyi to regain his composure, heaved a sigh of relief, and said to himself: It was so dangerous just now... I almost blurted out the truth to Li Mingsi.

………………

After leaving Beizhen Fusi, Li Mingsi wandered around the streets.Although I don't know why, but my body seems to be fine, maybe that guy's medicine has worked.

Now, Ling Duanyi's jade pendant has not been taken back, but who would have thought that the nine-pattern emerald phoenix pendant is fake again, misfortunes never come singly...

But having said that, Xiaoxuan has already been replaced.Even if he really got the Nine-pattern Emerald Phoenix Pendant, he would not hand it over to him.

Li Mingsi is not very interested in the nine-pattern jadeite phoenix pendant. Compared to that kind of thing, he cares more about the hook jade on Ling Duanyi.

Perhaps, that is one of the yin-yang mandarin duck jades.

At that time, Taizu Lin won the world because of this jade. Later, Taizu Lin gave the yin and yang mandarin duck jade to two princes with both ability and political integrity, so that they could compete for the position of crown prince and heir.

The two princes are also very ambitious. On the surface, they are brothers and friends, and they are happy.Secretly, they are fighting to the death.

But after a few years, the two princes' military exploits were evenly matched.So he petitioned Lin Taizu, wanting to decide the outcome by martial arts.Mrs. Lin saw that both of them were malleable talents, and she didn't want to hurt the friendship between the two brothers, so she politely rejected their request.

In the next few years, the two continued to fight for fame, but Lin Taizu did not establish a crown prince for a long time, and the two were dissatisfied with this.Therefore, all kinds of undercover methods poisoned Lin Taizu to death.

Without Lin Taizu, the two are more open-minded than before, fighting against each other everywhere.Later, one of the princes was plotted against by another prince and lost to another country.

Later, the prince who stayed in the palace ascended the throne and became the emperor. Although he won the throne by force, he could not convince the public.It stands to reason that one needs a pair of yin and yang mandarin ducks to become a real emperor.

In order to stabilize the people's hearts and his own position, the emperor sent someone to find the defeated prince, trying to snatch back the mandarin duck pendant in his hand.

The prince seemed to have expected that the emperor would hunt him down, so he gave the jade pendant to a child surnamed Ling.Later, the emperor sent more people to search around, and finally found the prince's body in the forest, but he did not carry the mandarin duck pendant.

I heard that the mandarin duck pendant later became a family heirloom of the ancestors surnamed Ling. Now that the world is in peace and prosperity, there is no need for a yin and yang mandarin duck pendant to prove anything.

But it is recorded in ancient books that on the night of the full moon, if you put the yin and yang mandarin ducks together, you can spy on the secrets of the sky and see what will happen in the future.According to legend, Lin Taizu saw the secret at that time, so he achieved great success for thousands of years.

But the truth is, no one knows.

Although Li Mingsi didn't know how many secrets there were in this yin-yang mandarin duck pendant, he seemed to be involved in it invisible.But since when was it involved?

Was it when I met Ling Duanyi for the first time, or when Qianhu replaced Xiaoxuan, or when Huamanlou confronted Han Yu and the others?

Speaking of which, if he hadn't accepted the job because he took money from the dying old man, maybe he wouldn't have suffered so much.

Now this person has been found, but the jade pendant must be retrieved.I left in a hurry yesterday, and forgot to take away the things left in the shopkeeper of Huamanlou. At this time, I have nothing to do, so I just ran to get the things back.

Li Mingsi was raising his foot to step over the threshold when he saw a familiar figure passing him by.Li Mingsi saw that the background was familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.

Within a few breaths, Li Mingsi seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly turned around and chased after him.

The man seemed to feel that he was being watched, so he quickly quickened his pace, but he couldn't get rid of Li Mingsi no matter what.Until the end, the man was blocked by Li Mingsi at the mouth of a dead end.

"Xiaoxuan, what are you doing in Huamanlou?" After a while, Li Mingsi said slowly.

"Ah?" Hearing this, Xiaoxuan turned his head and stared at Li Mingsi in a daze for a moment, then smiled and said, "So it's Brother Mingsi, I thought he was being followed by bad guys."

"It's in broad daylight, where are there so many bad guys?" Li Mingsi shrugged and said with a smile, "You haven't answered my question yet, why are you in Huamanlou?"

"Because Brother Ming Si didn't return all night, I was a little worried, so I asked the shopkeeper if he knew where you were." Xiaoxuan replied.

"Really?" Li Mingsi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said with a light smile, "Ask me about my whereabouts. Is it possible that I have to take the jade pendant to find me?"

"Li Mingsi, you've seen it a long time ago, haven't you?" Hearing this, Qianhu's face was slightly stunned, and he immediately recovered his original voice, looking at Li Mingsi with his hands behind his back, and said coldly.The pupils were slightly compressed, revealing a little bit of sinister and murderous intent.

"Before I met you, I really didn't know that the famous Dongchang would also be interested in a young man like me." Li Mingsi laughed.

"It's not you who are interested, but the jade pendant in your hand." Qianhu replied.

"Oh?" Li Mingsi pulled off the dark black jade around his waist, and shook it towards Qianhu: "I think this is the jade pendant you are talking about, right?"

"Hmph, with your three-legged cat trick, are you trying to deceive this Qianhu?" Qianhu sneered, "How can you hang such a valuable thing on your waist at will? You are not afraid of being snatched away!"

"This is called soldiers who never tire of cheating. Who can tell the truth from the fake in the world?" Li Mingsi said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if you believe it or not. If you don't believe it, just take that black jade back and see if your governor will agree." I will call you a bloody dog."

"..." Hearing these words, Qianhu also had doubts in his heart: Could it be true what this kid said?But if he was cheated and lost the jade pendant that he got, then the gain would outweigh the loss.

"Master Qianhu, think about it slowly, I won't accompany you anymore." After saying that, Li Mingsi turned around and made a gesture to leave.

"Stop! Leave the jade pendant behind!" While speaking, Qianhu strode forward with strides, and grabbed Li Mingsi's waist with his hand like a tiger's claw.

"It's really not enough to swallow an elephant~" Li Mingsi dodged sideways, clicked his tongue and said, "Could it be that you think the jade pendant on my body is real?"

"Whether it's true or not, come and have a look!" Qianhu replied coldly.

In a few breaths, the two had fought back and forth several times.Qianhu is attacking by advancing, while Li Mingsi is defending by retreating. The two sides competed with each other but failed to reap benefits.

Qianhu deliberately showed a flaw to Li Mingsi, and Li Mingsi had sharp eyes and happened to see the flaw, but he had no intention of taking advantage of it.

In a matter of breaths, he punched dozens of palms and did not see Qianhu's flaws. Not to mention that his speed was much slower this time, so many flaws were leaked, even if a fool looks at it, he might think it is strange.

"There are so many flaws in Qianhu~" Li Mingsi still teased: "I really don't know how Master Qianhu got his position. With such poor martial arts, he dared to sit in Qianhu's position. Could it be that he relied on accounts?" Xia Xiongfeng climbed up to this position?"

"You!" I wanted to use a trick to catch Li Mingsi, but was teased by Li Mingsi.Qianhu was furious, and he didn't hold back any moves.

"Master Qianhu, you look like a mad dog - biting people like this~" Li Mingsi still dodged Qianhu's attack. He recovered from his injuries not long ago, even though he took medicine, his internal strength was still weak. He has not fully recovered, and he is afraid that he only has [-]% of his strength now.

If you want him to fight Qianhu recklessly, he won't be so stupid!Provoking Qianhu also created an opportunity to regain the jade pendant. When people are angry and crazy, they leak the most flaws.

Li Mingsi originally wanted to seize this opportunity and seize the opportunity to get back the jade pendant.It's just that he seems to have underestimated the strength of the Qianhu lord.

The moment Li Mingsi paused, Qianhu seized the opportunity and slapped Li Mingsi's chest hard.

"Pfft!" Li Mingsi bowed his body and sprayed blood mist from his mouth, like a paper kite on a broken string, he flew backwards several feet, smashed hard on the ground, and splashed a cloud of dust.
