Ying Si had just finished interrogating the spies, and was dragged out by Ying Wu to eat, and left the house in a uniform. Ying Si was busy with official duties on weekdays, and was often unable to undress, but was always dragged out by Ying Wu Shengsheng, who stretched him out to wander around. The face is serious, but most of them will not refuse.

Ying Wu tossed a few pennies up and down, and smiled casually: "We have three pennies left over from buying peanut cakes, where should we squander it?"

Ying was expressionless all around: "I want to go back home."

Ying Qi took the son's secret letter and took a shortcut in the North Lane, catching up with the two who were walking slowly side by side.Seeing that Ying Si was also present, Ying Qi hesitated for a moment and did not come forward. Ying Wu had sharp eyes, and when he saw an acquaintance, he immediately waved in high spirits: "Xiao Qi! Did you miss work?"

Ying Qi came over to say hello to the commander, and said coldly, "I'm on business, passing by."

"Yeah." Ying Si squinted his eyes and looked at him coldly, patted his shoulder, and scraped Ying Qibai's blade when he lowered his hand.

"Passing by?" Ying Wu threw his brother away, put his arms around Ying Qi's neck, led him into the alley to avoid Ying Si, and whispered, "What do you want me to do?"

"Yeah." Ying Qi took out the bag full of golden melon seeds from his bosom, and gave it to Ying Wu, "Change it."

Ying Wu took it over and weighed it in the palm of his hand: "Oh, Your Highness is partial...why did I give you so much?"

Ying Qi said: "Change."

Ying Wu squinted his eyes and smiled, leaned closer to him and asked, "To put it bluntly, you just want His Highness's personal belongings, right?"

Ying Qi was stunned for a moment, and said: "No." His expression was a little impatient.

Actually it is.In any case, what you want is what you want, you can't hide it from yourself, there is no reason.

"Okay, okay, I don't want to guess." Ying Wu took out the suet jade pendant from his sleeve and threw it to Ying Qi, putting his arm around his shoulder and saying, "Jade is a good jade, but it's a pity that it belongs to the royal family. You have to go to the black market to exchange silver, trouble, I’ll give it to you. Hey, do you have access to the black market, this thing can’t be sold on the market, and it can’t be pawned, the pawnshop will be scared and report to the police.”

"En." Holding the jade pendant in her hands, Ying Qi thanked her, jumped onto the low wall on tiptoe, and ran away quickly.

"Thank you... This little fool, he thinks he doesn't make enough money after being sold." Ying Wu was puzzled, weighed the bag of golden melon seeds, picked it up happily, and walked around the gambling hall at night.

Ying Si waited quietly on the spot for a while, and seeing Ying Wu come back, he asked, "What's the matter?"

"What can I do, eat, and the stall will be closed later."

Ying Si said indifferently: "It's less than a year, and it's not yet the time to be credible."

Ying Wu raised one corner of his mouth: "Ying Qi? I think it's very believable."

Shadow Four was noncommittal: "How can I see that?"

"Intuition." Ying Wu raised his eyebrows, "He is different from us, he likes His Highness."

Obsession and loyalty are inherently different, and tonight will be a proof.

October is mildly cold, and the wind is strong at dusk. Horses and birds are galloping in the darkening night, and there is a black-clothed shadow guard who is as fast as the wind.

Shadow Seven walked quickly through the twilight, the surrounding woods were covered by shadows, and the sound of his toes touching the ground was as soft as maple trees falling, without a trace.

Nothing could overtake him, not horses, swallows, nor the wind.This is a natural lightness technique, and it cannot be forced. There are very few masters in this world who can catch up with Ying Qi. If he is a wild deer in the forest, he will run to the ends of the world, and no one can hurt him.

Some people were trapped in a cage, but he voluntarily walked into the cage.

A pair of blue long swords hung side by side on the sword belt on his back waist. The blades were green and snake-like. They were weapons brought out of the Shadow Palace, but the blades were stained with the blood of many companions. Can hear the wailing of the Green Snake Sword in the middle of the night.

This sword is not suitable for him. Ying Qi is a person who is more than indifferent, but not angry enough - he is like a piece of white paper, unable to withstand the manipulation of doubts, and will always open a hole to be slaughtered.

After resting a dozen times along the way, when they entered Linzhou City, Ying Qi only drank some water when passing by the mountain stream, and simply ate some food that could be bought anywhere, for fear of delaying his son's important affairs.

Ying Qi took out the handwritten book that was properly stored in the skirt and checked it. This handwritten book is quite simple, just a piece of paper, folded in half at random, without even a seal. I can see what is written inside.

He looked down at the paper in his hand, and suddenly realized that he had almost seen the contents, his body trembled suddenly, and he put the book back into his lapel again. His Highness explained that this is a secret that is crucial to the survival of the palace.

The streets and alleys of Linzhou just woke up in the early morning. The soft and sweet fragrance of glutinous rice and lotus root is floating everywhere. Various teas are placed on the shop floor. While rubbing his stomach, he was very thirsty, so he hurriedly delivered the letter, and then sat down to catch his breath and drink some water.

The refreshment shop next door was busy, and the little brother was carrying boiling hot tea among several tables of diners, just in time to greet a table of guests: "Hey, the guest officer is from Lingnan, right? Lingnan is a good place! It's early in the morning Let’s have some tea to warm up.”

Ying Qi has good ears, so he turned to take a look, there were a few men sitting at the table, all dressed in thin fur coats, they didn't seem to be from Lingnan, but they were wearing thin fur coats from Yuezhou.

Sitting on the east side was a young man in his early twenties, with a neat ponytail, a strong bow with red lacquered antlers in his hand, and a quiver on his back. Although he was dressed in a low-key manner, he had a noble air in his bones, and he didn't look like a hunter.

The young man took off his outer robe, revealing the red clothes in his arms, and a small golden lock around his neck.

Ying Qi was in a trance when he suddenly heard a clanging sound, a sharp arrow had already touched the center of his eyebrows, the bow and arrow pierced through the air without a sound, Ying Qi's eyes changed suddenly, his footsteps moved slightly, and he retreated lightly to the left with the breeze coming from the bow and arrow Half a step, in an instant, the arrow brushed Ying Qi's right arm and sank deeply into the middle of the mud wall, the arrow sank three inches into the low wall, his arm strength was astonishing.

Ying Qi didn't dodge with light work, so as not to attract attention.Turning over and landing, his eyes coldly glanced at the young man holding the bow and arrow.

"My lord! Don't cause trouble in Linzhou!" Several people around him tried to grab the young man.Among them, a sensible young man reminded in a low voice: "Brother Mo, don't cause trouble."

The corners of Li Mo's mouth were raised slightly, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at Shadow Seven, he walked to the low wall with Zhu Yun's antler bow, touched the crack where his feather arrow entered the wall, and tore off a gecko that was firmly nailed to the wall, Shaking towards Ying Qi, the corners of his mouth smirked: "I'm sorry, I just wanted to catch a bug."

This young master's skill should not be underestimated, piercing Yang with a hundred steps is not enough to praise his high archery skills, and seeing the leopard in the tube, it shows that he has reached the pinnacle.

Li Mo leaned sideways against the low wall, raised his hand to pick up a strand of hair from Ying Qi's shoulders, looked at him with lowered narrow eyes, and asked with a smile: "You are good at work, dare to ask for your honorable name?"

This man's voice is somewhat familiar.Ying Qi thought about it carefully, but he couldn't remember when he met this young master.

"I'm an unknown person, don't spoil your ears." Being a shadow guard, always tired of being touched by others at will, Ying Qi subconsciously brushed his hand away, and said softly: "Young master, stay a step."

Li Mo watched the man in black climb up the low wall and disappeared, his left hand still maintained the movement of stroking his hair just now, and was stunned.

He swung the dead gecko back and walked back, frowning slightly, and the people around him persuaded in a low voice: "My lord, I just happened to pass by, and she's not a little girl, why bother..."

"You're the only one with eyes, so you know it's not a little girl." Li Mo picked up the man's neckline, stuffed the dead gecko into his mouth, threw it aside, leaned against the table with a grin, and lay down on his stomach. The man who rolled and vomited on the ground kicked in the waist and cursed with a smile, "This skill is definitely not vulgar. I shouldn't be acquainted with it? It's a pity that you can't see your true face because your face is covered."

The people around him had no choice but to agree: "Yes... Young Master, you are not going back yet? This trip to Yuezhou, all the important things have been arranged. In a few days, all the nobles of the royal family will be present at the gathering in the capital. Lingnan is waiting for your reply..."

"The capital meeting is still two months away, so what's the rush?"

Li Mo put on his cloak again, asked someone to drop a piece of silver, and walked away with a flick of his sleeves.

When the group left, Ying Qi brushed the dust off his shoulders with a cold face, inexplicably annoyed.Whenever she sees this dandy, provocative and arrogant aristocratic spirit in people, Ying Qi feels a kind of contempt that can't be covered with mud from the bottom of her heart.

In a blink of an eye, he thought of his elder son again.

There was no time to delay because of official business, so Ying Qi left quickly before he could get distracted.

Talking about the nobles in Lingnan, there are not many, just those few, don't move.

Lingnan King Li Wenyan, Lingnan Prince's son, Li Mo.

The follower behind him caught up with Li Mo and asked, "My lord, where are you going?"

"I have an appointment." Li Mo laughed, tore off the disguise on his face, plucked the bowstring, and said with a smile, "Northern people can play, and in Lingnan, I heard that Linzhou gambles big. , I've been starving for a long time, let's go."

On the side of Prince Qi's mansion, His Royal Highness Ying Si returned to the study room to report.

Seeing Yingsi approaching, Li Yuan pushed a stack of manuscripts that he didn't know when to write to him before he could speak: "This."

Ying Si squinted his eyes, and when he saw the sentence "I fell in love with it" written on the first line, he knew it was definitely not something useful, so he took a breath and planned to report his own affairs.

Li Yuan held his chin and said, "You help me read."

Ying Si pressed a handwritten letter on the stack of manuscripts in front of Li Yuan, forcibly resigned, and left.

Li Yuan had no one to talk to, a little depressed, casually picked up the handwritten book Yingsi handed over, opened it and took a look——

It was the handwritten letter he wanted Yingqi to send to Linzhou.

Liuyu was about to enter the study with tea, but the door was suddenly opened, and Li Yuan hurried out wearing a thin navy blue fur.

Liu Yu hurriedly chased after him: "Your Highness! Where are you going?"

Li Yuan looked extremely impatient, and asked, "Is Yingchu back?"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Yingchu has just returned to his residence, so he must be coming back soon." Liu Yu hurriedly chased after Li Yuan to explain.

Li Yuan waved his hand: "I went out for a stroll, Yingchu followed me, it's all right. Go and clean up my room, don't disturb my father, I'll be back in a few days."

"Yes..." Liuyu could only nod his head, and watched His Royal Highness go to the stable in the backyard to lead the horses. In a blink of an eye, he remembered His Highness's instructions, and hurried back to Shizi's study.

A few manuscripts were dropped on the ground, and Liuyu picked them up one by one and tidied them up one by one. She had never read a book and could not read characters, but she could indeed understand paintings.

Liuyu blushed: "Your Highness, why are you painting so many shadows..."

Turning around, she saw His Highness's token still thrown on the table, Liu Yu screamed, and quickly picked it up and sent it out: "Your Highness! Your Highness! You didn't bring the token!"

However, Li Yuan had already left the mansion with Yingchu.

While walking, he scolded angrily: "Fuck / his / mother / dog / fart / test!! Ying Si thinks I live too comfortably?!"

Ying Qi walked around Linzhou City a few times, did not go to Xingtang immediately, but waited quietly for two days, wary of the tails nearby, found a small pavilion to hide in and rest, quietly leaning against the pavilion pillars, holding hands In it is the suet jade pendant exchanged with Ying Wu.

The jade pendant is warm to the touch, shiny and white, with a faint black fragrance, which is the same as the breath of His Royal Highness.

In fact, Yingqi has no way to sell this jade pendant on the black market, he just wants this thing very much, holding the moist temperature in his palm, as if being gently held by His Royal Highness's fingertips.

He didn't want to think about these anymore, but he couldn't help it, he could only let himself sink, as long as he didn't get close to His Royal Highness.
