Second minister and thief

"Why don't you take it to heart?" Chu Linqiu opened his eyes and looked at him strangely. A trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, as if he didn't understand why this man was so excited.In his opinion, these are all normal things, and he doesn't feel disadvantaged.

"..." Xiao Cen's arrogance disappeared after being stared at by him, and he simply sat back again, "Do you really not care about outsiders' gazes, discussions, and even insults?"

"They are not people I value, why should I care?"

"..." Xiao Cen was speechless for a moment, and the gloom in his chest couldn't go up or down, and in the end, he was a little bit persuaded by him.

Xiao Cen looked at Chu Linqiu's calm face, and for the first time felt sympathy for him. He thought to himself, since the two of them are involuntary, why not support each other as the imperial decree said, and eat people here. To protect himself in the capital, and also to protect the Mobei Army.At this time, Xiao Cen automatically put Chu Linqiu into his camp just because of that faint throbbing, never thinking that this is a little fox with an unfathomable city, and it is not yet known whether he is sincere or not.

"What's your plan next? That, he... what does he want you to do for him?" At this point, Xiao Cen seemed to suddenly remember something, suddenly opened his eyes wide, held Chu Linqiu said over his shoulder, "Could it be that all the infamy on you has come from this?"

"Not really." Chu Linqiu was drowsy at first, but when he heard Xiao Cen talking to him, he had to raise his eyelids and look at him, "Chu is really not a good person, he has done a lot of outrageous things The Marquis' compassion must be used in the right place."

"But it's not completely bad. Is what Benhou said right? Otherwise, you should admit it right now, instead of talking specifically to remind Benhou, and there is no need to save Master Zhou at that time. Remember When Benhou asked you why, you said it was 'instinct'. This 'instinct', I would rather understand as the 'goodness' engraved in your bones by Chu Jiushang. Master Chu..."

I really did not misunderstand the person.

Now Xiao Cen believes that what Chu Linqiu did is due to his own difficulties, not only does he not listen to persuasion, but even feels more distressed about his difficulties.

Chu Linqiu witnessed the emotional change of the person in front of him, and his eyes became a little dim for a while. He felt sorry and wanted to say something, but in the end it turned into a sigh.

"Master Hou, no matter what, you have to remember what Chu said today. Chu is not..."

"Master Chu said so many things today, I don't know which one should I remember?" Xiao Cen was lowering his head to help him untie the belt on his auspicious clothes, and asked absent-mindedly.

"..."

"The big wedding is coming, it's not appropriate for the Marquis to continue to disturb the mansion. It's time to go back to Xiao's mansion and get ready. Are you right?"

"It's fine for Lord Hou to decide. You don't have to stick to etiquette."

In Chu Linqiu's impression, Xiao Cen seldom mentioned the "big marriage" to himself on his own initiative. To him before, it was a thorn in his heart and he couldn't avoid it. Now, there must be something Other feelings clouded his judgment.What that feeling is is self-evident.

Xiao Cen is a person who has all his emotions written on his face, with just one look, Chu Linqiu can find out what's going on in his heart.

He likes himself.

When such a thought just surfaced, he was at a rare loss.

It would be nice to be apart for a while, he thought.

......

At three quarters of the ugly hour, the trial court is in prison.

The gate covered with copper green is ajar, no one is guarding it, and there is silence, only the water droplets on the eaves continue to fall into the groove below, making the sound of "click, click, click".There is no moon and no stars in the sky, which adds a sense of gloom and gloom to the ten li radius.

Walk twenty steps straight through the door, and you can see three jailers lying or lying on their stomachs around an old square table, sleeping soundly.The fire on the lamp on the table was flickering, and it was about to burn out, casting a dancing shadow on the wall, giving people a very ominous feeling.

Yu Younian, known as "Mr. Zhilan" by the world, was imprisoned here.

At this time, the old man was sitting in the dry and yellow weeds with his back to the prison door, and he was facing a big mouse.He was hunched over, with a weed dangling from his mouth, and even a hint of excitement gradually appeared on his face, which was quite different from his usual "elegant like bamboo, indifferent like orchid".If there is a second person present at this time, he will definitely be surprised.

It has been several hours since he was brought here by Xuanwuwei's people.But he didn't care at all, as if he hadn't been affected in any way. The only thing he was dissatisfied with was probably that the "pig food" in the prison was so bad that he could hardly swallow it. It was not as good as the big rat in front of him.

Just as he was thinking about how to persuade the jailer outside the door to roast the mouse for him to eat, a huge human-shaped shadow suddenly appeared on the gray wall not far from him, and he didn't know if he was too focused. Nothing.

The "shadow" gradually approached him, holding a long and thin object in his hand, and was about to stab his head without anyone noticing.In the blink of an eye, the Shuoshu on the ground seemed to be awakened suddenly, and jumped to the side, causing Yu Younian's thin body to tremble twice.At the same time, the movement of the shadow on the wall paused, the "arm" dropped straight down, and everything returned to calm again.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

"Sir, you are so calm." Accompanied by a few crisp applause, the whole cell suddenly brightened up a lot, and a person walked out of the shadows slowly.

"I never thought that I would cooperate with Master Chu."

The old man's voice was like a bell, and he didn't show any sign of slump, but it shocked people's spirits, which didn't match his thin body.

It seems that Mr. Zhilan is indeed a strange person.

"By the way, the old man has a question, and I hope Lord Chu can clarify it."

"Sir, please speak."

"How did you know that the old man was their next assassin? And how did you shoot down this murderer with incomparable precision?"

"...Sir, it seems that you don't need to know so much?" While speaking, Chu Linqiu walked up to the side of the man in black who fell on the ground, lifted his hem and squatted down. Going to Tie Zhu at the side, he lowered his eyes and looked carefully, "I just hit him on the left side of his forehead with this."

"I see." Yu Younian only nodded slightly, as if he didn't intend to get entangled here.

At this time, two people also trotted up to take off the killer's face scarf, then dragged him out with his arms on both sides, and quickly tied him firmly to the pillar.
