I bent the devil

Even if one of them is already very tired, and the other still has various things to deal with, within an hour, the City Lord's Mansion seemed to have some kind of tacit understanding, and no one disturbed them.The two seemed to be reunited after a long absence, they got together and talked about the bad things in the past.But every time Gu Jiu would kiss Song Qingyi's temples when he felt distressed, and the other party would slowly fall on his forehead afterwards.

Sweet and cozy.

But there were too many things, and there were still so many messes waiting for Song Qingyi to deal with, so even with all kinds of reluctance and nostalgia in their hearts, they still had to separate.

"Okay." When Gu Jiu and Song Qingyi walked to the door holding hands, they turned around and looked at him with a slight smile, "We'll talk about it after everything is settled." After a pause, he looked at him for a while before returning He took the initiative to step up slightly and leaned forward to kiss the man in front of him.But this time it wasn't the sideburns, but his slightly pursed thin lips.

Shallow peck.Instant points.

"I have to go out of the house again to see how Xiaoqing is doing. He probably won't be able to do it by himself."

"Yeah." Song Qingyi pursed his smile, and after thinking about it, he still gave Gu Jiu a clue. "Tomorrow, the person I sent out to look for should arrive. Yiyi and the others managed to enter the southern border when they sent the letter back. I believe this matter will be resolved soon."

"What about the imperial court?" Gu Jiu suddenly remembered that Huaicheng, which the system had shown him before, was sealed off. In the end, almost no one in the city escaped. In the end, the Emperor Da Zhou was assassinated. The last question, that's why Gu Jiu asked this question.

"Don't worry." Song Qingyi didn't say much, and Gu Jiu didn't ask, but even so, they already had a connection.

Gu Jiu held Song Qingyi's hand for a while, looked at him and said. "gone."

"Ah."

After entering the door, they have not let go of each other's hands and finally let go. After pushing the door open, Gu Jiu glanced at Song Qingyi with a smile, then walked briskly towards the outside of the small courtyard, until he reached the door of the small courtyard. And look back again.Just as he thought, Song Qingyi leaned against the door of the study and looked at him with a smile.

After waving his hand again, Gu Jiu turned his head again, but this time he didn't turn his head again until he disappeared from Song Qingyi's perspective.

----------------------

In late autumn, the sky is overcast and gray most of the time.Even in many cases, you will feel that just after noon, the time skips the afternoon and enters the evening.Especially during this time when something like this happened in Huaicheng, the whole town became lonely. In order to prevent unnecessary panic and commotion, Song Qingyi even directly issued a no-night order. After nightfall, no one in Huaicheng is allowed to be casual walk around.

In the evening, apart from the guards from the government office patrolling, there are also soldiers from the city lord's mansion.Fortunately, Song Qingyi's management has become more and more powerful over the years, so even though the atmosphere in Huaicheng is gloomy and panicky, it has not yet caused everyone to panic to the point where they lost control of their nerves and worse things broke out.

In fact, Gu Jiu was also extremely tired during this period of time, not to mention that he lost a lot of weight, and his eyes were also bruised, which was the mark left by not sleeping well for a long time.But after being with Song Qingyi for a while, he felt full of energy again, and even the nerves that had been slightly tense during this period of time finally relaxed slightly.

Even though Song Qingyi just said that his hidden guard might come back with someone to solve this problem tomorrow, in Gu Jiu's heart, this matter has already been resolved.

I don't know when it started, as long as Song Qingyi told him, Gu Jiu would have an attitude of unconditional trust.It seems that as long as it is what he wants to do, no matter how difficult it is for others, but for Song Qingyi, it is just a trivial matter.

It was getting late, and the small vendors who finished their day's business also pushed their own carts out of the gate of Huaicheng. There has been no business during this period, but it is impossible for the people who have no other source of livelihood to really stay at home and do nothing. Do.Even if there is a natural disaster*, if there is no fear of life, then you have to run around every day for your own stomach and the few mouths waiting for food at home, right?

That's how life is.

So when he saw a small vendor close his stall and the street gradually became deserted, Gu Jiu's footsteps became faster.The pharmacy was built temporarily, but Xiaoqing couldn't carry the medicine vats as big as water tanks alone, so Gu Jiu quickened his pace and walked towards the pharmacy.After calculating the time, it was almost time for Xiaoqing to clean up.

But just as he reached the end of the street and turned a corner, he would see the pharmacy shop, a hand suddenly stretched out from the alley he had just passed, covering his mouth and nose.And dragged him into a dark alley in the next second.

Almost at the same time, an ordinary small vendor who came home from work pushed a movable trolley made by himself to the entrance of the dark alley. As if he couldn't bear it anymore, he looked around and made sure there was no one there. Go straight to the dark alley.After a while, he came out with a relaxed face, and when he pushed the car away again, he shook his hands first, as if he wanted to shake off the water stains on his hands.

Humming a little tune, he slowly pushed the cart again and walked towards the gate of Huaicheng City.

After half a cup of tea, four more people came out from the empty alley just now. They were all dressed as hardworking coolies, and their clothes were simple. They seemed to be no different from other coolies they usually saw, except that they After leaving the alley, he involuntarily looked around first, and then strode towards the gate of the city.

And just after the four of them disappeared on this street, there was the sound of pushing the cart slowly from far to near, but this time the person pushing the cart was obviously not strong enough, and when he finally turned around the corner, he realized that it was Xiaoqing. Pushing the cart alone.There were also three large medicine tanks that were already empty and tied with fine hemp ropes on the cart.The boy muttered, looking very angry.The person who heard him muttering only when he got close was Gu Jiu who was looking for him just now.

It's just that now, Gu Jiu can't hear it anymore.

Falling into Heaven

Yin Yiyi had been sitting there quietly holding the letter for nearly a quarter of an hour, but he himself seemed to have not noticed the passage of time, looked up at the person still kneeling there, and opened his mouth lightly. "...Do you really see that the messenger is Song Yi from Songjiabao?"

"Yes." The man kneeling on the ground said, "...my subordinate fought against him back then, so I recognize him."

then……

Yin Yiyi stroked the things in his hands, and narrowed his eyes slightly.Back then, it should refer to the time when Song Yi was slashed in the face by his own sword, right?At that time... I really wanted to kill him...

He sat casually on the steps, his robe dragging to the floor, still with that relaxed and indifferent appearance, his eyes were slightly clouded for a while, as if he was lost in thought.

After a while, he smiled slightly, and stood tall. The silver-gray robe that was draped casually on his body followed Yin Yifeng's getting up, and slowly went up the steps like flowing water, and then left the ground.

"This is really..." He looked at the objects sent along with the letter in his hand, smiled and shook his head helplessly.After putting away the object in a leisurely manner, he gathered the letter tightly, and after fisting his palms, he unfolded it at will, and the letter paper turned into gray-white powder, which was scattered as Yin's letter went out.

Like the broken stars brought out by his silver-gray robe passing through the air.

"Palace Master." The man who was still kneeling there called out to Yin Yin without turning his head, and opened his mouth slowly when the other party stopped in front of the opposite palace gate but turned his bald head.

"...Palace Master, when will you return from this trip?"

silence.There was no answer until the mountain wind blew in through the wide-open palace gate, causing the powder on the ground to move slightly.

The man knelt there, like a loyal dog who wouldn't get up until he got an answer.

He slowly clenched his right hand, but Yin Yiyi had already left quietly.

In the end, he didn't answer the personal guard who was always left behind by him.

……capricious.To the extreme.

At the same time, Xiaoqing, who finally returned to the City Lord's Mansion and was about to go to her husband to settle the score angrily, finally realized that something was wrong.

When night fell, Huaicheng was lit up with a lot of lights. Looking from a distant height, I could see pairs of fire dragons looking for something regularly.But they are destined not to be found.

Standing on the path of Liangshan mountain road, Li Mo squinted his eyes slightly, looked at the brightly lit place, and smiled contemptuously.

At the same time, a carriage was slowly driving towards Huaicheng in the dark.The driver was a strong man, sitting on the edge of the carriage, blocking the carriage behind him like a hill, even his legs had to be placed properly, otherwise he would be dragged on the ground if he was not careful.

Ordinary people's carriage only needs two horses to pull it, but this carriage has six.It shows how heavy this guy is.Beside the carriage followed two guards on horseback, suddenly it was the Yi Yi whom Song Qingyi had mentioned to Gu Jiu before.

After looking at the sky, he drove his horse closer to the carriage, and said apologetically to the people inside. "Sorry, Mr. Six, we will arrive in Huaicheng in another hour." The person inside was a Gu doctor who came forward when he really had no way to break into the southern border. The body is extremely weak, especially those legs, which are basically useless, so this is also the origin of the carriage man.

That is Mr. Liu's Xinjiang slave, responsible for protecting the weak Mr. Liu.

After coughing softly, Mr. Liu's hoarse and weird voice came from inside. It is said that he was bitten by Cailang when he was about to die.

This Mr. Six is ​​not from Southern Xinjiang, but after encountering some incidents, he was rescued by a Gu doctor in Southern Xinjiang by chance. Originally, he knew a little about medicine and was smart, so even if he was not from Southern Xinjiang, Now he is also a respected Gu doctor.

"It's okay." After coughing for a while, Mr. Liu barely stopped, and then he spoke slowly. "After all... I also want to reach Huaicheng sooner."

"...See you, old friend."
