Placid Chang'an

Su Cen half-kneeled on the ground and was about to throw a brick up to cover people's eyes and ears, and then picked up a brick and put it on the person's head. If it went well, he would open a ladle for him, if it didn't go well... then nothing happened to him.

However, before the brick was thrown away, the man in black turned sideways, a sharp blade pierced the wind, and the rabbit flew up and down, only to see a person holding a sharp blade twirling at a tricky angle, and the blood mist rose in the rain , The man in black saw blood instantly.

The two immediately wrestled together.

Qi Lin!

Su Cen turned his head abruptly, and there were three large characters of Xingqing Palace hanging behind him. Coincidentally, it was the residence of Prince Ning.

One person came slowly with an umbrella, strolled in the courtyard, and looked down at him when he came close.It was raining obviously, but this man's body was spotless, he thought it was not long before he went to court, and the official uniform on his body hadn't been changed yet, the soapy clothes and crimson clothes, the long hair like black ink could be seen clearly.

"My lord..." Su Cen felt her throat tighten, and it took him a long time to say the words.

"Stay flat." Li Shi said.

Su Cen: "..."

The moment Qu Ling'er saw the person coming, she lowered her head and chose to play dead.

It took Su Cen a lot of effort to help the person who was suspended animation, thinking that if Qu Ling'er was recognized, the two of them would have to live in Xingqing Palace with the black-clothed brother, and anxiously Urgently find an excuse to say goodbye: "Thank you lord for saving me today, but I have an injury here, so I will come to the house to thank you another day."

Li Shi didn't intend to get out of the way at all, he looked at Qu Ling'er and asked, "Did you recruit him?"

Qu Ling'er was stared at by a pair of eyes, knowing that she couldn't hide, she timidly hid behind Su Cen, shaking her head like a rattle, "It's not me, I don't recognize him."

"It should be aimed at me," Su Cen said with lowered eyes, "I recently handled a case, and I may have provoked someone."

"The Xinke Shizi case?" Li Shi asked.

Su Cen was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, never expecting that such a small case could reach the ears of the Prince Regent.Everyone in the world said that the case was a murder case of evil spirits, but this Prince Ning understood it clearly.

"Is this person the murderer?" Li Shi looked at the two fighting in front of him, the man in black was already at a disadvantage under Qi Lin's pressing step by step, and he wanted to retreat, but was entangled by Qi Lin and couldn't get away.

Su Cen looked back and shook his head: "Probably not."

If the murderer had this skill, there would be no need to sneak up on Lu Liang and Yuan Shaochun from behind, let alone strangle them once and injure himself.

This person was either the kung fu man who brought Lu Liang into the East City that day, or the killer Wu Deshui had hired to kill him. In any case, he had nothing to do with the case.

"My lord..."

Just as Su Cen was about to speak, Li Shi had already given an order: "Qi Lin, stay alive."

What Qi Lin used was a sword, but his swordsmanship was treacherous and unpredictable. It didn't have the grandeur of the Central Plains swordsmanship at all, but instead had the viciousness and ruthlessness of the Mobei machete.

Seeing that he had lost his chance, the man in black took out two bullet-sized objects from his waist in a panic and threw them at Qi Lin.

"Be careful!" Qu Ling'er exclaimed, picked up two stones in the light of the calcium carbide fire and threw them, just hitting two projectiles, and exploded with a bang in the air.

When Qi Lin broke through the smoke barrier and chased after him, he had already disappeared.

Qi Lin came back and pleaded guilty, "Master, he ran away."

Li Shi waved his hand, Qi Lin stood up behind him, and gave Qu Ling'er a cold look.

Qu Ling'er immediately shuddered.

Li Shi didn't intend to let the two of them go, he walked back and asked, "How is the investigation going?"

Su Cen had no choice but to keep up due to the prestige, and stood in the rain and replied, "There are some clues. The two deceased in this case were officials who had just been admitted this year. I suspect that some of the failed candidates are waiting for revenge in the name of ghosts and gods." .”

Li Jiefang slowed down and thought for a while, then shook his head: "No."

"Huh?" Su Cen frowned.

"Criminal crimes are based on motives and evidence. Everything is a transaction. If someone who fails the ranking does it, he will kill all the people who have been admitted this year and still fail to make the ranking. It is meaningless to do these things."

Su Cen followed behind and stared at Li Shi's back, with a straight waist, especially seeing the heroic figure galloping on the battlefield back then. What's more, this man was standing under the umbrella, with his clothes shining in the dust, while he was standing in the rain and drenched Like a drowned rat.Although he knew that what Li Shi said had some truth, but the awkwardness in his heart was unknown, he raised his head and retorted: "What if he just wanted to vent his anger?"

Li Shi didn't notice Su Cen's small thoughts at all, and continued: "Anger is easy to instigate people to commit crimes, but it is a process of explosion from big to small. If I kill someone in anger because of failing the exam, I won't repeat it." Gradually start killing from the bottom."

Li Shi suddenly stopped in his tracks, and glanced back at Su Cen, "I will come directly to kill you."

Su Cen was thinking along Li Shi's train of thought, but he didn't notice that the person in front stopped and slammed into the umbrella. When Li Shi reached for the handle of the umbrella, Su Cen slammed straight into it.

The handle of the Xiangzhu umbrella hit hard, Su Cen let out a cry of pain, his forehead turned red instantly, he raised his head angrily, but fell into those smiling eyes and lost his mind.

Li Shi raised his hand and tapped Su Cen's forehead with the knuckles of his middle finger, "What are you thinking rashly?"

When Su Cen came back to his senses, he realized that the two of them had reached such a distance. He could smell the cold sandalwood on Li Shi's body while breathing under an umbrella.

If it wasn't for Li Shi's push with the handle of the umbrella, he would have jumped directly into the arms of the person.

Su Cen was stunned for a while, then quickly took two steps back and cupped his hands, "My lord, forgive me."

While blushing and heartbeating, he thought to himself that this man is so stingy, so what if a majestic prince lets himself bump into it, but it's just to stain his clothes, so he needs to use such a hard umbrella handle to block him?

Li Shi smiled and shook his head, "You should copy the case."

Su Cen lowered his head and gritted his teeth secretly. Sure enough, it was this old guy who secretly tripped him up and asked him to copy those moldy cases.On the surface, he replied neither humble nor overbearing: "What the lord taught me is that when I go back, I must study the stories of my ancestors carefully, so as to live up to the lord's cultivation."

Li Shi laughed off the guns and sticks in the dialogue.

Su Cen finally sensed an opportunity to end the topic, and asked tentatively, "Then the officer has resigned?"

Li Shi looked away from the rain curtain outside the umbrella and nodded.

Just as Su Cen was about to turn around, he felt his wet hand being grabbed, and then the umbrella was in his hand.

Li Shi tilted his head and told Qi Lin, "Send him back."

Su Cen froze on the spot holding the bamboo umbrella, watching Li Shi step by step into the two rich doors of Xingqing Palace, his steps were steady, his clothes were as smooth as before.

It turned out not to be the reason for the umbrella.

Qu Ling'er moaned behind her back for a long time before Su Cen came back to her senses, supported her and asked, "Can I still go?"

Qu Ling'er looked down at the wound on her waist, compared it with Su Cen's body, and gritted her teeth: "I can walk."

Su Cen sighed, turned his head, saw Qi Lin standing upright behind him, had an idea, and said to Qi Lin, "Ling'er is injured, and I can't carry him on my back. Guard Qi forgive me."

Qi Lin was unmoved.

Su Cen said again: "What if it's late at night, if the prince asks..."

Qi Lin's expression finally changed, he walked around Qu Ling'er and squatted down, and said coldly, "Come up."

"I won't let him recite it," Qu Ling'er said with a displeased face, remembering the vengeance this man made against him every step of the way in the teahouse that day, she refused angrily: "It smells like a beard, it stinks to death."

Qi Lin glanced over, and was so frightened that he immediately fell silent.

"If you don't let me carry it, then you can go by yourself." Su Cen took a step first, "I can say first, I will let Ah Fu lock it when I get home. If you can't keep up with the night, you can find a place to rest by yourself."

Seeing Su Cen walking away step by step, Qu Ling'er gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, she grabbed Qi Lin's shoulder reluctantly and rubbed against her.

Su Cen walked ahead on his own, Qi Lin followed steadily, Qu Ling'er was indeed tired, after a while she simply lay on Qi Lin's back, listening to the strong heartbeat, she felt quite Comfortable.

After laying down for a while, I felt a problem, "Hey, why are you so hot?"

Without any suspense, there was no answer, and Qu Ling'er went forward: "Is it true that you have never recited someone before? The little girl has never recited it? Your master, Ziye Shengge, didn't give you a few new ones?"

Qi Lin bumped Qu Ling'er up sharply, when she fell, her chin hit her shoulder, almost biting her tongue.But when this person became angry, it was more interesting than keeping a straight face. Qu Ling'er continued to tease: "I really haven't recited it before? Let me tell you, the little girl's body is much softer than mine..."

"Our Turkic people's body temperature is higher than that of your Han people." Qi Lin interrupted aloud.

"Huh?" Qu Ling'er was taken aback when she got the response, and then she smiled and said, "Then what are you, a Turkic, doing in our Han territory? High-ranking officials are rich and rich? I see, do you Turkic women all follow you?" You seem so aggressive, so why did you come to us to find a beautiful girl?"

"I heard people say that men taste better than women." Qi Lin squeezed Qu Ling'er's butt, "Do you want to try?"

Qu Ling'er's body froze suddenly, and her face turned pale for a moment.

"Shut up if you don't want to." Qi Lin said coldly.

It was finally quiet along the way.
