Always be surrounded by junior sisters and fall in love

Come... Senior brother is indeed not as good as I thought..."

"Stupid?" Shi Xi glanced at him, raised his hand, and turned the situation back in a blink of an eye, while besieging Heizi to enter the game, "After all, I am your senior brother, even though I am a year younger than you, I have been taught by my master for so long. "

After a pause, Shi Xi disrupted the chess game and put the black and white pieces on both sides, but put a gold ingot in the middle: "The incident of Tianhuo is not only the cause, but also the fuse. It is clear which prince to send Undoubtedly, it is telling the world that the emperor is interested in who will be the heir apparent. With the current state of mind, he will give the two sons a chance to clearly oppose him? Not only you and me, but the emperor himself will know that once the matter is settled Whoever goes, even if they don't come back, the other will have to do the opposite."

Wen Renyu laughed and shook his head: "Yes, yes, brother is extremely smart, it's my brother who is short-sighted."

She glanced over again, with a bit more anger abruptly, Shi Xi said: "Pretentious, you can't figure it out?"

"Senior brother still understands me." Wen Renyu chuckled, and then said: "The eldest prince loses strength frequently, and now he is probably very anxious because he can't take the lead. He should not be involved in the matter of Qiu Wei, otherwise it would be impossible to be so calm The emperor kept the matter of the Tong family dead, and the eldest prince probably did not receive any news. The Tianhuo incident involving the prince was widely circulated in Jiangbei. As a prince, even the emperor did not want to see them stretch their arms and legs But it is also clear that they will know about these things sooner or later. Therefore, the emperor will definitely make a decision before the two princes know."

Shi Xi paused, and said: "It seems that you guessed who the emperor is going to send?" Thinking carefully, Shi Xi said: "Could it be that the third prince?"

A prince who is unlikely to participate in the fight for the crown prince by anyone, has enough status and is not enough to deter the candidate for the crown prince, so it is considered suitable.

Unexpectedly, Wen Renyu shook his head: "Impossible. Even if the third prince has no power, he still has the support of the emperor behind him. Not to mention whether he himself has the heart to fight for the heir, and whether the emperor has the intention to make him the prince or not." Crown Prince. Just talking about the two princes, they will not let the third prince come forward to take over the job of winning the hearts of the people and reassuring the world. If the third prince is chosen to come forward, it will be tantamount to pushing him to the forefront. These years the emperor If you are careful and understand what you are showing, it will be completely ruined. It is even possible to take the life of the third prince."

"Who could it be?" Shi Xi was puzzled, and after thinking about it for a while, he came to no conclusion.

Wen Renyu smiled narrowly, and said softly: "Brother, just look at it and you'll know."

The next morning, a secret decree was sent to the small courtyard.Shi Xi closed the door tightly and kept silent, listening to the movement outside.

Hearing people's words, Fuyi knelt down without saying much, bowed his head and kowtowed: "The grass people accept the order."

"Mr. Wenren, please get up." The father-in-law who delivered the decree was dressed in plain clothes, and directly put the decree into Wen Renyu's hands, and said: "The matter mentioned in the imperial decree is of great importance, and it is inconvenient for slaves and maidservants to announce the decree. Mr. Wenren, please remember, Your majesty entrusts you with great care, and you must complete this matter."

"Cao Min, please rest assured, Your Majesty." Wen Renyu accepted the imperial decree, and Yao Yi immediately stepped forward and stuffed a purse into the eunuch who delivered the decree.

The father-in-law squeezed his purse, and immediately smiled and said: "Mr. Wenren is too polite. Don't blame the slaves for talking too much, just remind you. This matter is related to the fate of the country, and the emperor is very cautious. If this matter is done, don't talk about the title Even if you take this official position, it may not be impossible."

Wen Renyu nodded, with a slight smile: "Thank you, father-in-law, for your suggestion."

The father-in-law turned around and left after a few polite words. Before leaving, he glanced at Shi Xi's room, but he didn't see anything unusual.

After the people left, Wen Renyu walked into Shi Xi's room with the imperial decree behind his back.

Shi Xi raised his eyebrows: "You already knew it would fall on your head?"

"I was [-]% sure, but now it seems that I have a good grasp of the emperor's mind." Wen Renyu picked up Shi Xi's teacup and drank it, then took off his clothes and changed into a clean one, "Of course, Mr. Qi Ge It also helped a little."

"I knew it was impossible to just guess. Since when did Mr. Qi Ge be so easy to talk, he even let you take over this matter." Shi Xi refilled his tea indifferently, and looked up at him.

"Officials in the court have their thoughts openly and secretly. The royalists seem to be loyal to the emperor, but they are also biased. What's more, it is related to the fate of the country. The emperor is not worried about those old foxes who have been in the court. Although Qi Ge has been impartial for many years, but I can't help but have a good grandson who is close to the fourth child and let the emperor use it. Besides, Qi Ge's old man is approaching sixty, so he can't stand it." Wen Renyu said, The smile deepened, "And I, the son of Marquis Anle, who is at odds with the family, has enough status, but I will not follow the trend of the family to choose the master. I have just made a great contribution and attracted the praise of the people. After many years in the world, I have a thorough understanding of this seemingly unserious method. The emperor is not at ease with such a person."

Shi Xi laughed out loud: "It's not a serious method... It's as if you've used it before."

"Isn't it?" Wen Renyu also laughed: "The serious means are upright, but most of the time they can't be banned. I'm not a gentleman, so it's okay to use it."

Shi Xi glanced at him, seemingly helpless, but then worried: "It's going to be dangerous, you can do it yourself? I'm fine in Beijing, and I have Ran Ran by my side. Why don't you take the Eighteen Guards with you? How much a helper."

"No need." Wen Renyu shook his head, "Although there is nothing wrong in the capital, there are people from the palace. I only bring Xiaoeryaojiu and Yaoyaojiu with me, and keep the rest for you."

"But..." Shi Xi still wanted to speak, but was immediately interrupted by Wen Renyu.

"There is no better place in Beijing than anywhere else, and you can't show up for the time being. The fourth child is at a critical time, and I still need someone if there is something. Brother will let me arrange this matter. Besides, Jiangbei is just a group of young people. If you really have the ability to What kind of person I am, even if the Eighteen Guards are all around, it won't be of much use. Besides..." Wen Renyu smiled inscrutablely, "I plan to do some big things. If I bring more people, I will conspicuous."

Shi Xi was stunned, and looked at him with a slight warning: "What are you going to do? Be careful, this matter is nothing more than anything else, the emperor will definitely keep an eye on you at all times."

Wen Renyu chuckled: "It's just a few hidden guards, not as useful as Xiaojiu. It's not easy to get rid of them? Don't worry, I'm just adding fire."

"What do you mean?"

"Since the secret report was submitted, I am afraid that the first thing that reached the prince's ears was the sudden fire from the sky in Jiangbei, which caused panic among the people. With the temperament of the eldest prince, I am afraid that he can't wait to ask En to go. Yingcai will be suppressed, Now that you don't dare to act rashly in the capital, the news will naturally spread slowly. Brother, think about it, if the eldest prince asks for favor at this time, what will the emperor think? And when the eldest prince receives the definite news, it will be too late to regret it. The emperor has enough eye medicine." Wen Renyu squinted his eyes, his eyes were deep, "If it is revealed that Jiangbei is now destined to be the emperor at this time, it will be a dead game."

Shi Jingning brow thought for a while, guessed his plan, nodded slightly: "Be careful yourself."

"Relax."

In the Mianzheng Palace, the emperor turned his back and stared at Elder Qi Ge: "Why does Aiqing recommend this person to go?"

The old god Qi Ge is there, not afraid or afraid: "Although this person is a grassroots person, he has great talents. And the story of saving countless candidates before is known all over the world, and he is quite popular with the people. He is also the son of Marquis Anle , although he has no official status, he still has enough status. What's more, after wandering in the rivers and lakes for a long time, he will be able to see the situation behind Tianhuo better than ordinary officials."

"Aiqing should understand that the Wenren Mansion and the Xu family are clearly standing on the side of the eldest prince." The emperor said flatly.

Elder Qi Ge secretly sighed, and had to praise the emperor for his thoughtfulness.To be able to directly admit that his subjects are vassals of others in front of his subjects.

"Your Majesty, you can rest assured. Although this person is the son of Wenrenfu, he has been persecuted by his stepmother since he was a child, so how could he be consistent with the Xu family? And he is a member of the Jianghu, so it is impossible for him to be involved with people in the court , you can rest assured. Most importantly, this person is smart, maybe not only find out the reason, but also thoroughly investigate the people behind the scenes."

"Aiqing admires this person quite a lot." The emperor narrowed his eyes lightly, his eyes were sharp.

Old Qi Ge's face was calm and respectful: "Speaking of which, I am not afraid of the emperor's jokes. I heard that the old Hou Ye has some affection for the old minister. This child has suffered since childhood, and the old minister has not been able to take care of him. Now I just want to use the emperor's grace to replace the old man. This kid paves the way."

The seemingly honest and straightforward words surprised the emperor, and he burst into laughter: "You old fox, you actually take me as a favor!"

"Your Majesty is merciful. This son is a talent, and he will definitely be of use to you." Qi Ge raised his eyebrows and saluted, very respectful.

☆, No.60 four times

It took a long time for the emperor's laughter to slowly fall, and Qi Ge stood on the side with his eyes, nose, nose, nose, and heart, waiting for the emperor's next order.

"Since Aiqing wants Wenrenyu to handle this matter, what do you think about Jiangbei?"

"I have lived in the capital for a long time, and I have only heard a little about the dryness of Jiangbei. Every autumn, there are often open fires. It's just that the people in Jiangbei are well prepared, so there is no major disaster. It took only a few villages to cause the people to panic. Immediately after the rumor spread, the people believed it." Qige Lao slightly cupped his hands, and said: "On the other hand, if someone wants to make the rumor credible, he deliberately made the Tianhuo issue a big deal. , then it makes sense.”

The emperor sitting on the throne fell silent for a moment, his expression was unpredictable and he didn't know what he meant. The old Qi Ge who had been waiting for him began to feel anxious, and then he said again: "I see, Yi Aiqing... who wrote this matter?"

Qi Ge was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment and carefully said: "The old minister is dull and can't guess. However, the three princes are all sons of excellent character, loyal to the emperor and filial piety, so they should not be able to do such a thing." thing."

It should be impossible to do it, but whether it is done or not is not something he can say.

The emperor took a deep look at him, and finally let him go: "Thank you for your hard work, Aiqing, about Jiangbei, you should go and mention that famous saying."

After leaving the Mianzheng Hall, Elder Qi Ge couldn't help touching his forehead, it was indeed wet.Old Qi Ge shook his head, and after calming down for a while, he walked out of the palace slowly.

Early the next morning, the Jiangbei incident was publicly reported.However, the officials who made the report agreed and did not say much about the rumors, only saying that the fire would suddenly fall tomorrow and the people would be affected.

The eldest prince's eyelids moved, and he stepped out: "The sky fire suddenly fell in Jiangbei, and the people suffered unspeakably. I am willing to share the worries of my father with regard to the relief of the disaster."

Old Qi Ge lowered his eyes and said nothing, he could already guess the emperor's expression without looking.

I saw a smile on the emperor's face, but there was an unpredictability in his eyes.Hearing this, he smiled and said, "I am so relieved that the emperor is so worried about the people."

The eldest prince was overjoyed, and only waited for the emperor's order.Who would have thought that the emperor would just say a word of praise, then he would have no more to say, and instead put the matter down for further discussion.Now that Tong Ge is resigning, although there are still people in the line of the First Prince, they are not able to speak.All of a sudden, no one begged for the eldest prince's life.

After retiring from the court, the emperor specially ordered someone to tell Duan Tianyu about the Jiangbei incident, and asked him bluntly what he thought.Presumably it was because the eldest prince made a move first, but Duan Tianyu didn't respond at all, the emperor didn't believe him at all.

But Duan Tianyu was waiting for the emperor to ask.Wen Renyu handed him a copy after receiving the news. He knew much more about Jiangbei than his imperial brother.It's just that I'm still in the forbidden period, so I can't do much.

Now that the emperor took the initiative to ask, he had to express it no matter what.Immediately spread paper and ink, listed his thoughts on Jiangbei disaster relief one by one, and presented them to the emperor.Before the words, there was no meaning at all that I wanted to go.It even states the agitation of the people's hearts in it, and going there at this time can regain the hearts of the people.Guangming picked himself uprightly and frankly.

When the emperor saw Duan Tianyu's report, he had no expression on his face, but his dissatisfaction with the Eldest Prince's initiative to invite Ying was much calmed down, and he couldn't help being a little more biased towards Duan Tianyu.

It's just that if you are an emperor, you naturally don't just look at the surface, and you naturally have other considerations in your heart.

Handing the paper to Elder Qi Ge, he said slowly: "Ai Qing thinks... how does this fourth child feel?"

"The fourth prince has a quick mind, and the method described is indeed applicable."

"In your opinion... the fourth child is not interested in my throne?" The emperor narrowed his eyes and said bluntly.

Elder Qi Ge used to be the teacher of today's God, and the relationship between the two was also very close.It's just that the emperor got older, and his suspicions became heavier.Old Qi Ge was also based on the distinction between monarch and minister, and no longer got close.However, many times, the emperor was not so cryptic when speaking in front of Elder Qi Ge.

"According to what I see, the four princes are loyal to the emperor, and they have never had any unreasonable thoughts. The statement in the memorial can win the hearts of the people, but there is no intention of going forward in the words. It seems to be frank." Qi Ge old way.

The emperor pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly: "If that's the case, that's fine."

The emperor still had a lot of trust in this teacher.In addition, he has never had a preference for any prince, so he believes that his judgment is fair and impartial.As for those twists and turns after thinking about it carefully, if it is said that Qi Ge didn't expect it, the emperor would definitely not believe it.Now that I thought about it, but still decided that way, then there is evidence to follow.

The news spread that the emperor sent someone secretly to Jiangbei to investigate Tianhuo, the eldest prince threw down the teacup in anger, unable to understand why his resignation was rejected.Within two days, rumors about Jiangbei spread to the capital, and the eldest prince was stumped.

Duan Tianyu, who was in confinement, received the letter in his palace, smiled disdainfully, and burned the letter casually.

With the previous episodes, he thought that his elder brother had a brain.I didn't expect...it was still the same as before, nothing improved.

It's a pity, I tried my best to show my face, but instead let myself shake three times.The eldest prince can't eat this piece of fat in Jiangbei anymore.Fortunately, I have a good senior brother. The Jiangbei matter is destined to be my own.

It was night, and Yao Qi sneaked into the palace and went straight to the eldest prince's bedroom.One jumped straight up, then gave a sudden pause in mid-air, and swished to hang under the eaves, covering his body completely under the shadow of the eaves.

The hidden guard on the roof raised his head and blinked his eyes, looking at the quiet front of the bedroom with a confused face, silent.After listening for a long while, not to mention the movement, even the slightest movement was pitifully rare.Looking down, there was still nothing.

The poor dark guard scratched his head, thinking that he was probably dazzled by stalking.Rubbing his eyes, he continued to look into the gap between the tiles.

Yao Qi breathed a sigh of relief silently, crawled along the eaves like a gecko, found a dark corner, and squatted!

In the hall, the eldest prince walked around inside with his hands behind his back.A man in black was kneeling beside him, bowing his head and waiting for orders.

After a long time, the eldest prince flicked his sleeves and said angrily: "No way! Father will definitely suspect me if this goes on, and I must find a way to avoid it!"

Rubbing the jade in his hand, the eldest prince turned around a few times and issued a Taoist order.

The hidden guard on the roof was startled for a moment, then got up and jumped towards the emperor's bedroom.

Yao Qi paused, and stayed where he was.

Not long after, a woman came out from the inner hall with a graceful and charming posture.The woman stroked the eldest prince's hand, slightly reassuring: "Your Highness, don't worry, mentioning the fourth prince's name is not a good strategy."

"What do you mean?" The eldest prince looked over, his eyes slightly soft.

"The emperor has a heavy heart. I am afraid that even mentioning the name of the fourth prince will not avoid suspicion. Why not use your highness's name directly. Your highness invited Ying to go to Jiangbei on his own initiative. If he met the name of the fourth prince, it would be even more suspicious. "

The eldest prince lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then nodded: "You are right, let's do it like this."

Yao Qi outside the door scratched his chin, watched the man in black lead the order to retreat, and then looked in.I saw that the eldest prince and the woman started to cuddle up and move their hands and feet without saying a few words, they immediately trembled, turned around and fled without a trace.

will be blind...

But... the emperor's hidden guards are so stupid, and they are so anxious!

Although my heart is biased towards Duan Tianyu, as an emperor, how can I trust anyone completely?So there were hidden guards on the side of the eldest prince, and Duan Tianyu's side would naturally also have them.

It's just a pity, although Duan Tianyu said that his lightness skills were mediocre among his senior brothers, but he was a first-class expert in front of others.So when the dark guard appeared, Duan Tianyu was aware of it.

He stood at the window with his hands behind his back and stood still for a long time before walking slowly back to the table, laying out paper and rubbing ink.With just a few strokes, a dignified and luxurious woman was outlined.With light strokes of pen and ink, the woman's appearance became clearer.The eyebrows are gentle, dignified and virtuous.Dressed in a phoenix robe, she has the demeanor of a mother in the world.

Duan Tianyu put down his pen and stared at the portrait in a daze.Then hang it on the wall, take incense and light it, and pray three times slowly.The whole process, without saying a word.

The incense was lit and inserted into the censer to burn slowly, and Duan Tianyu quietly looked at the portrait with complicated and nostalgic expressions in his eyes.

After a long time, the last ray of fragrance dissipated.Duan Tianyu took off the portrait and slowly put it into the brazier.

The dark guard saw all his behavior, and did not leave until the candles in the hall were extinguished.After the dark guard walked away, a mocking laugh sounded from the hall.

Since I sent someone to monitor, why don't I give you something.Lest you forget, the ruthlessness and injustice back then.

The secret guard who monitored the eldest prince reported the incident in a few words, but did not wait for the imaginary emperor to be furious.But because of his status, he didn't dare to look up.

Not long after, there was a soft sound outside the hall.The attendant pushed open the palace door and walked in, leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, An San is back."

"pass."

An San stepped in a few steps, knelt on the ground and bowed: "An San kowtows to Your Majesty."

"How about the second prince?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the second prince...he drew a woman in a phoenix robe, and then burned incense on the portrait, and then burned the portrait." An San had never met the former queen, but only knew what was on the portrait. People are not the queens of today. After thinking about it, I still report it truthfully.

The emperor was startled, and suddenly sighed: "Go down, in the future...you don't have to stare at the second child anymore."

"Yes!"

The door of the hall was closed, and the attendant stepped forward cautiously: "Does Your Majesty want to go to bed?"

The emperor closed his eyes and said, "Fu Rui, do you remember... what day is it today?"

The attendant was stunned: "This servant is stupid, I don't know what the emperor is talking about..."

"You don't remember either..." the emperor sighed, and looked quietly at the empty hall: "I... forgot too. In this world, only the second child can still remember clearly."

The tenth day of September is the birthday of Empress Xian.

Fu Rui withdrew his eyes and stood still with his head bowed.

He remembered, but could not speak.Because now the one on the phoenix throne is Empress Xu.

☆、No.60 five times

When everyone in the palace was thinking about each other, Wen Renyu had already led the four of them to Jiangbei.

It's just that the five of them walked a little hurriedly when they first left the capital, and then they started to walk slowly, quite like traveling in mountains and rivers.

Yao Jiu had a blank face: "Isn't the second young master going to investigate the case? Why are you not in a hurry?"

Xiao Jiu had a good time, leaned towards him and said, "Second Young Master has always been good at tricking people, how could he just send him to his door for nothing."

As soon as the words fell, he was directly kicked off the horse by Yao Yi.

Yaojiu blinked, looked at Xiaojiu who turned over and jumped on the horse, then looked at Yaoyi who was waving at him, and obediently drove the horse over: "Yaoyi..."

Yao touched his head and said, "Don't pay attention to him."

Wen Renyu, who rode his horse and walked slowly ahead, looked back at them, and said with a smile, "Why, do you feel slow?"

Under Xiao Jiu's pleading eyes, Xiao Er was finally forced to step forward and ask, "Second Young Master, don't we hurry over?"

"We are not in a hurry to go to the bureau that others should have arranged." Wen Renyu explained with a smile, "Although we are going to investigate, we are not in charge of arresting people. Find out the whole story and send the news to In front of the emperor, we should not do the rest."

Yao Yi and Xiao Er looked at each other with clear understanding, Xiao Jiu scratched his head, still in a daze.

"You are not suitable for this kind of brain work." Wen Renyu glanced at Xiaojiu, and said sharply.

Xiaojiu instantly made a bitter face.

Can the second young master still happily be the subordinate!If you do this, your subordinates can't help but betray the Lord!

Eight days later, a letter sent from Xiaoyao Villa's secret post was delivered directly to Wen Renyu who lived in the inn.Wen Renyu unfolded the letter and glanced at it, then put it on the candle and burned it.

"Before night falls tomorrow, enter Jiangbei City."

Xiaojiu silently opened her mouth wide.

...Dangling around for so many days, just to catch up on the last day...

"The young master is waiting for others to settle the situation." Xiao Er couldn't see his troubled look, and explained.

Xiao Jiu came to a sudden: "Are we going to demolish the place?"

Xiao Er glanced at him, turned over and closed his eyes.Xiao Jiu couldn't bear to be curious, and continued to poke him, hoping to get an answer.Xiao Er was so impatient, he turned over and dragged him into the bed, stretching his legs to hold him down.

"Hey!"

"If you keep making noise, get out!"

"Oh."

At dusk the next day, before the gate of the city fell, a few people entered the city and found an inn to stay.

Xiao Er disagreed: "Second Young Master, this time we are entering the capital under a secret order, won't this be too ostentatious?"

Wen Renyu, who was the old god, took a sip of tea, and glanced at him lightly: "Do you think everyone in the world knows the identity of your second young master? There are many martial arts people in Jiangbei City, and there are countless people like us. What is there to worry about? If the governor of Jiangbei can also guess this, then it can be regarded as a pinch. "

Yao Yi raised his hand to look at his palm, then slapped Xiao Er on the back of his head.Xiao Er immediately glared at each other: "You!"

"Eldest young master is obviously quite shrewd, why did he teach you such an elm head." Yao pouted.

Xiaojiu covered her mouth for fun, and took the opportunity to add insult to injury: "The elm can still become a spirit, but Xiaoer is a stubborn stone, and there is no cure."

The room suddenly started to jingle, and Yao Yi pulled Yao Jiu to stand silently behind Wen Renyu, watching the excitement calmly.

Anyway, no matter how hard you fight, you don't dare to hurt the second young master, this place is the cleanest.

That's right, there is such brotherly loyalty!Especially when watching Xiaojiu being beaten!

Spot wax.

Wen Renyu changed his posture and leaned back in the chair, crossed his fingers and watched Xiao Er and Xiao Jiu fight quietly, without opening his mouth to stop him.It wasn't until Xiao Er restrained him, pressed him to the ground and rode on him that he clicked his tongue: "Shame on me."

Xiao Jiu burst into tears: "Second Young Master!"

Wen Renyu smiled and listened: "My lord is here, tell me."

"Second Young Master, you can easily lose me like this!"

"I don't care, let's go."

There was a smile on Xiaoer Mumu's face, and his hands were slightly loose.Taking advantage of this moment of relaxation, Xiao Jiu kicked back in an instant, turned his hand backhand to catch Xiao Er, and threw him to the ground.Xiao Er, who thought he was being honest, was caught off guard by being dumped, and was caught by Xiao Jiu as soon as he recovered his senses.

Yao Yi touched his chin and said with emotion: "This position is good."

Wen Renyu glanced at him and said nothing.Yao Jiu was puzzled: "What position?"

"Don't listen to his nonsense." Wen Renyu said in order to prevent the youngest from being spoiled, "Okay, calm down and rest, there are things to do at night."

On the second watch day, every house in Jiangbei City locked their doors and windows, and fell into a light sleep.

The two windows of Hua'an Inn opened slightly, and then quickly closed again, as if they were just blown by the wind.

After a while, the five figures floated down to the foot of the city, paused for a moment, and then suddenly stood up, borrowing strength from the city wall, they turned out of Jiangbei city in a blink of an eye.

Jiangbei City is the main town in the Jiangbei area. Walking ten miles south of the city is the official road.There are quite a lot of people coming and going on weekdays, it can be regarded as a big town in Yu Country.On both sides of the official road, there are dense willow trees, and many people like to come here to play in the shade on weekdays.But now at night, the dense tree shadows have become the best cover.

It's cold in the north, and I'm used to the climate of Xiaoyao Villa, so Xiaojiu felt a bit cold for a while.Standing among the mottled shadows of the trees, he rubbed his arms and said, "Master, what are we going to do?"

Wen Renyu stood on the top of the tree with his hands behind his back and looked around, and said to Yao: "Go and see if there are any traces of being turned over by people, or obvious open spaces around. It doesn't need to be too big, about the length and width of a person is enough. "

Yao Yi received the order, met Xiao Er's eyes, and walked in the opposite direction.

The top of the tree was slightly shaken by the wind, but Wen Renyu, who was standing on a high branch, remained motionless.After a long time, he moved his nose lightly and glanced in the direction of the wind, but he still didn't intend to move.

A moment later, a bright little bug wobbled around in front of him, and then wobbled towards the direction it came from.Wen Renyu moved his feet, and immediately flew in the same direction.

Walking nearly a hundred feet away, I saw Yao Yi and Yao Jiu standing in a place surrounded by four trees, leaving a distance between them lying flat.

Wen Renyu looked around.It is not far from the city gate and the official road, and it is in a place where the trees are relatively sparse.You don't feel it's dark at night, but in the daytime, if there is any movement, you can easily be noticed.

Seeing people talking from afar, he said in a low voice: "Master, there are dry firewood scattered around here, and there are traces of kerosene on the trees. But most of them are painted with a thin layer and covered with floating soil. Too conspicuous."

As soon as he moved his feet, he squatted down next to a tree next to him, heard people's words, lowered his head and smelled it, and then reached out to touch it.

"Tianhuo?" Wen Renyu bent the corner of his mouth: "It seems that someone wants to play big."

After Xiao Er and Xiao Jiu came to hear it, Xiao Jiu immediately said angrily: "Several villages were burned down by the sky fire, and more than a hundred old people and children were burnt to ashes before they could escape. Could it be because These kerosene?"

"Okay, I'll investigate this matter. You four, dig out the things underneath." Wen Renyu patted Xiaojiu on the shoulder and ordered.

Several people responded, pulled out the small shovel pinned to their backs, and dug vigorously.

While digging, Yaojiu wondered: "Hey? The soil is so loose? No wonder the second young master asked us to use a small shovel!" At first, he suspected that the land in this place does not grow crops, and there are dead people everywhere. A small shovel digs.Now that I made the next move, I realized that the soil looked dead, but it was easy to dig.In addition, the worship of Wenrenyu is even deeper.

Yao Yi casually touched his head, and continued digging.Not long after, he raised his hand to stop the movements of several people.Xiao Second paused, put down the shovel and planed with his hands: "Second Young Master, it's Huolei."

"Sure enough." Wen Renyu smiled, "It's done. Yao Yi, give me the fireworks."

As a result, Wen Renyu flicked the fireworks that Yao Yi handed over, and threw them into the air.A dark red bloomed in the night sky, but it was not very conspicuous.If it weren't for someone with excellent eyesight who had practiced martial arts, he really wouldn't be able to see clearly.

After half a stick of incense, figures from several villages and towns around Jiangbei City approached quickly, and one of them seemed to be carrying something behind his back, even at night, it was still a little bit of a glance.A dozen or so people silently landed in front of Wen Renyu, bowed their heads on one knee and saluted without making any sound.

Xiaojiu and Yaojiu looked at each other, then bent down to look at these people carefully...

Well, still don't know.

Wen Renyu gave the two of them a blank look, then turned around and pointed to the hole where something seemed to be dug out, and said: "You guys, change the things inside, and be careful not to change the arrangement of Huo Lei."

"Yes." The leader responded in a low voice, and then followed Wen Renyu's instructions.He didn't pay attention to the four people next to him during the whole process, as if he didn't see them.

Xiaojiu was stunned: "They... are so powerful!" The eighteen guards can be regarded as the elite of Xiaoyao Villa, but they couldn't replace a stone tablet as tall as a person so lightly and quickly like them.Not to mention that there are still fire mines buried there, and the lead wire cannot be changed a little.

"They are Earth Dragon Guards, and they used to play with the owner in digging tunnels in the border town of Haolan City." Yao Yi replied with a smile.

The man who was directing his subordinates to work paused, glanced at Yao, and returned his kind smile.

Xiao Er suddenly realized.

Haolan City has lost several times in battles with foreigners, just because a group of troops disappeared underground at every turn, and when our army arrived, they suddenly rushed out again, causing our army to suffer heavy losses.At that time, the military power in the hands of the Shi family had been taken back, and there was not much left, and they were unable to send out heavy troops.After Mo Yao heard about it, he immediately led a group of people to compete with each other in digging tunnels.

There are many people on the other side, but they are all ordinary soldiers.And Mo Yao's hands are all good players. If he can dig it, he will dig it, and if he can't dig it, he will just use his internal force to bombard him.In the end, the enemy's tunnels were blown apart, while our side was almost hidden in the tunnels extending in all directions.From time to time, you have to dig through the top to make a trap for the opponent, which eventually makes the opponent retreat in defeat.

It was precisely because of this that the royal family was afraid of the Shi family and did not dare to criticize them harshly.

The author has something to say: Long, long ago, Mo Yao told stories to Mo Xiaoran who had just learned to speak.

"Your father and I led twenty or so people along the way, digging down more than a dozen secret passages of the enemy, and also planted many traps under our own secret passages, causing heavy damage to the group of grandchildren!"

Mo Xiaoran: "...Tunnel warfare! Hey! Tunnel warfare!"

While a few people were thinking, the Earth Dragon Guard had quietly restored the open space to its original state.The leader, Di Longwei, knelt on one knee and nodded slightly at Wenrenyu, then quickly disappeared with his subordinates and the replaced stone tablet.

Xiao Jiu was stunned for a moment, and then she came back to her senses: "Hey! There seemed to be words on it just now!"

Except for Yao Jiu, all three of them gave him a blank look, turned around and walked out.Xiaojiu touched the back of her head innocently, still a little confused.

Sneaking back to the inn, I had nothing to say all night.

In the early morning of the second day, Yao Yi and Yao Jiu took the lead in knocking on the door of Wen Renyu's room: "Second Young Master."

Wen Renyu put down the porridge bowl, raised his eyes and asked, "Is there anyone near the official road?"

Yao nodded: "People have come and gone, and there are people approaching in the forest."

"Go and have a look."

Jiangbei is indeed dry, even when it is slightly cool in the early morning, there is an annoying sense of dryness.Coupled with the high temperature, it is really uncomfortable.

A few people walked out of the city slowly, like people wandering around the rivers and lakes without any purpose.After stopping outside the city gate, Xiaojiu teased Yaojiu, and in a blink of an eye, the two ran to a distance not far away, laughing recklessly, and many people looked over with smiles.

Just at this moment, a loud noise seemed to explode in my ears.Some women around screamed out, and some people who were less courageous directly sat on the ground in fright.

Xiao Jiuyao Jiuyi, who had run far away, stopped and turned to look at Wen Renyu.Wen Renyu shook his fan, saw someone walking towards the forest, and then walked in with the flow of people.

A huge pit appeared in a clearing in the forest, surrounded by several fallen trees.And in the center of the huge pit, a stone tablet taller than a person was half-buried in it, and writing could be faintly seen on it.

Some people with some kung fu jumped down, took a closer look, and read aloud: "The real dragon has come to the world, only to speak to the Supreme? What does this mean?"

As soon as the voice fell, the forest suddenly caught fire.The fire was not that big, and it didn't spread everywhere, but it suddenly caught fire in all directions, which inevitably made people panic.

The people in the forest ran out with all their strength, and barely stopped until they reached the side of the official road. Looking back at the burning forest, they couldn't help sighing, as if they were still alive after a catastrophe.

With no fear of their lives, some people thought of something else and gathered together in twos and threes to discuss it.

"The real dragon came to the world, and suddenly the sky fire...could it be... really what the rumors said?"

"If not, how could there be such a big fire all of a sudden! In the village that was burned a few days ago, many old people did not believe those rumors. It seems that they were punished by heaven."

"That's not right! There's also that stele, presumably it's an early warning from the heavens!"

"Let's report to the official, they must know what to do!"

Standing in the crowd, Wen Renyu and Yao looked at each other and smiled without saying a word.

Not long after, the governor of Jiangbei, who seemed to be invited by the people, came on horseback, with a group of strong bodyguards behind him.As soon as he got close, he dismounted immediately and said, "Is there anyone else in the forest?"

"It should be gone, the fire is not big, and everyone is agile, it should be
