Placid Chang'an

Yangzhai official post.

The long night is coming to an end, the lone stars are few and far between, and the dawn is about to break with the white maw of the east.

There were two people sitting on the roof, one big and one small, all dressed in black. Overlooking the yard, the people were cleaning up the corpses in an orderly manner, diluting the blood, and buried the blood in the ground without a trace.

"I killed eight of them, how about you?" Chen Ling lowered his head and wiped the Emei thorn on his hand. It is about a foot long, thick in the middle and thin at both ends. The thorn can be rotated flexibly in the palm of the hand, making it easy to carry. With Chen Ling's dexterous figure, it can kill people invisible.

Qi Lin sat with his knees bent, tall and lonely, and casually replied: "Wu Chiha killed ten of them."

"I'm asking you."

"I didn't do anything."

"Yo, Yumian Shura has become a vegetarian." Chen Ling was stunned for a moment and then teased, "Back then, out of a million troops, he was able to defeat ten thousand troops and win the leader, so now his hands don't itch?"

"There is a person who is particularly afraid of ghosts." Qi Lin lowered his head and touched a string of Buddhist beads on his wrist, "I will kill less evil, so that he can feel at ease."

"Is that good?" Chen Ling's face was full of disbelief, "What's the taste?"

Qi Lin patted Chen Ling's head casually, "You're too young to understand."

"I am older than you!"

Qi Lin moved his gaze down, "It's still young."

Chen Ling: "..."

As the number one spy in Xingqing Palace, Mrs. Chen Ling Chen has not grown up since she was 12 years old, and she was naturally implicated in some places, but the last one who dared to make fun of him with this matter has been completely eliminated by him. Oh, well... Chen Ling evaluated the strength of the two of them. A vegetarian tiger is still a tiger after all, so he should outsmart him.

"Then it's considered I won this time," Chen Ling changed the subject, "When you return to Beijing, you have to hold a banquet in Shunfu Building, and treat our brothers to eat their knuckles."

Qi Lin was not fooled: "Why don't you compare with Wu Chi Habi?"

"What's the comparison between me and that stupid big guy? He only shows off his strength," Chen Ling waved at Wu Chiha below, "Isn't it, Brother Ha?"

Wu Chiha didn't understand why, so he showed his white teeth at the two of them.

"I can treat you, but it's not Shunfu Tower." Qi Lin said.

Chen Ling achieved his goal, and immediately smiled: "As long as you pay for it, you can go anywhere!"

"Hung Kam Fong is still a small shop, let the brothers choose one."

Chen Ling: "..."

Don't stop him, he's fighting this man!

Before Chen Ling could make a move, Qi Lin flew down and stood in front of the gate connecting the front and back yards.

The next moment, the gate of the courtyard opened, and a boot with golden silk pattern slowly stepped in. Qi Lin immediately bowed and held his sword: "Master."

The others put down their work and followed suit. Chen Ling scrambled down from the roof and almost stumbled.Gouged out Qi Lin's eyes, this man has such a dog's nose, he can smell it from such a long distance, even if he knew that the master was coming, he would not know how to call him!

Li Shi raised his hand, avoided everyone's ceremony, and asked casually, "Is it all cleaned up?"

Qi Lin bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "I disturbed my slumber, please punish me."

"Forget it," Li Shi replied indifferently, glanced casually, the backyard had already been cleaned up, the morning light was faint, and there was even a little morning dew smell in the air, it was impossible to tell what happened here last night.

Li Shi's eyes passed over the crowd, and fell on the shivering postmaster in the corner. With just one look, the postmaster crawled over the ground, bowed his head and replied, "Chen Dayou, the current postmaster of Chenyang Zhai official post, Yangdi official post appeared The assassin's assassination has disturbed the prince and the holy car, and the minister deserves death!"

"Get up, it's none of your business." Li Shi didn't want to argue with such a small person, he started to leave, but the moment he turned around, something suddenly flashed against the morning light!

The postmaster suddenly jumped up from the ground, the dagger slipped from his cuff and fell into his hand, and the sharp blade aimed at Li Shi's back!

Everyone was shocked, seeing the blade approaching, there was no way to avoid it!

At the very moment, the sharp blade was unsheathed, and the sound of breaking wind passed by fiercely. Before everyone could see what was going on, the postmaster had already been carried away by a long sword and stuck firmly against the wall.

The hilt of the sword hummed and resonated, and the person died on the spot.

Chen Ling was dumbfounded. Before he could strike the Emei thorn, the sword in Qi Lin's hand had already killed the man, and he thought it was a good thing he didn't do it just now, otherwise he might not have the chance to stand here.

Li Shi turned around in a smooth manner, his eyes swept away, and he was not angry: "Is this what you call clean?"

All the people in the courtyard fell to their knees with a clatter: "Your Majesty, forgive me!"

Li Shi stood still, as if he had sensed something, raised his eyes slightly, and exchanged a glance with the person on the tall tree outside the courtyard who had been watching here.

The two lines of sight met in the air, both fierce and bottomless, the battle lasted for a long time, but it was only a snap of the fingers.

Qi Lin was the first to come back to his senses, and said anxiously: "Guardian!"

"A few more people!" Chen Ling followed closely behind and led the crowd to arrest them.

A figure jumped down from the tree, and disappeared without a trace when people chased after it.

A premeditated assassination is intertwined. If they hadn't been prepared, they might have really caught the secret door.

The people brought by Li Shi did not dare to be ambiguous, and searched the entire post station carefully, even with a radius of several miles, and confirmed that there were no secret assassins.

"The postmaster should have been dropped when he knew we were coming." Qi Lin said, "Wherever we go next, we have arranged for the county government to conduct strict investigations and clear them in advance to ensure that Nothing is lost."

"If one blow fails, they won't do it again." Li Shi lowered his eyes to look at the ground that was once again stained red, "They came after Song Fan, and it's just a matter of time to assassinate me."

"It seems that Song Fan really has some status in the secret door," Qi Lin said, "They call him 'young master'."

"Where is Song Fan?" Li Shi asked.

"He Lanzhe and Zuo Tu took him on a small path, and he should have entered the vicinity of Gyeonggi by now."

"After entering Beijing, escort him directly to the dungeon of Xingqing Palace, and dig out everything he knows."

"Master," Qi Lin was a little embarrassed, "Song Fan is still an important criminal in the Xuzhou case, and the criminal department is also waiting for important people to file the case, I'm afraid..."

Li Shi paused, his brows slightly displeased, "I want someone to let them come to me directly."

Qi Lin nodded: "Yes."

After explaining the matter of the post station to the county magistrate of Yingchuan County, the sun had fully risen, and King Ning's chariot was ready to go, but two postmen from east to west came to the post station to change horses.

The postman from the west was very excited when he saw Li Shi, because the document he sent was originally intended to be sent to King Ning, and if he met him here, the task would be considered complete.

Qi Lin tore off the sealing wax with the emperor's seal, and after reading it, he reported to Li Shi: "Little emperor is urging you to return to Beijing."

"What did you say?"

Qi Lin read: "'The courtiers talk about their own affairs. I am confused. I can't take care of the overall situation. I don't know the priority. I sighed at night, afraid of losing the legacy of my ancestors, and ashamed of the teachings of the emperor. Xuzhou is full of things, and I hope the emperor will do more. Take care, I miss you very much.'”

Li Shi smiled lightly: "It's almost time to write 'Uncle Huang, come back soon, I'm about to cry' on paper."

He asked again, "Is someone in the court embarrassing him recently?"

Qi Lin replied: "The Empress Dowager's party headed by Liu Zhen will bring out some old sesame seeds and rotten millet for the little emperor to adjudicate. It is estimated that they want to force the little emperor to re-appoint the assistant minister."

Li Shi asked, "Where's Wen Xiu?"

Qi Lin: "Lord Wen didn't do anything, just watched from the sidelines."

"He also wants to get a piece of the pie himself." Li Shi raised the corner of his mouth, "I don't know his cleverness. If Liu Zhen succeeds, he must be one of the auxiliary ministers. If he doesn't succeed, he will be at both ends." Offended, there is no loss left or right, why not do it?"

Qi Lin leaned over and asked, "Go back to Beijing as soon as possible?"

Li Shi twirled his fingers lightly, and instead of giving an answer, he asked, "Where did the other postman go?"

Qi Lin called someone over, and after some questioning, he found out that this was a document sent by the Chuanling County Government to Dali Temple, saying that several corpses had been washed out by the flood, and the local government could not find the source of the corpses, so they wanted Dali Temple to assist in the investigation .

Li Shi stood facing the sunlight for a while, then suddenly asked, "Where are Zixu and the others?"

Qi Lin replied: "Two days ago, I received a letter from Fei Ge from Linger, saying that they went east along the affected counties, and now they should be near Chuanling."

Li Shi asked again: "How far is it from Xuzhou?"

The postman knew that he was asking him, so he replied carefully, about a hundred miles away.

Li Shi stopped walking, thoughtful.Qi Lin didn't dare to go forward to disturb him, Li Shi didn't know what he thought of, his face was gloomy and bright, his eyes seemed to be a storm brewing, full of movement, extremely quiet, just when Qi Lin thought Li Shi would What action, but in the end it returned to calm in an instant.

"Let's go." Li Shi stepped into the car.

Qi Lin was stunned for a while before remembering to give an order, waved his hand, the driver moved slowly, and slowly drove out of the Yangzhai official post.
