Placid Chang'an

"Disguise?" Qu Ling'er frowned and thought for a while, "I haven't heard of this, but there are many people in the secret door, and if you don't keep them all, there are capable people who are proficient."

Su Cen frowned, already having a conclusion in her heart.If it was said that Li Shi wanted to kill him, strangle him, drown him, or directly kill him like today, he would believe it, but he believed that Li Shi would not be able to do such a thing like a sneak attack from behind, and he didn't even bother to do it.

But that face was so clear and profound that he couldn't fake it when he saw it with his own eyes.

Someone must have assassinated him under the guise of Li Shi.

"Brother Su, the secret door is mysterious and unpredictable. I have been there for more than ten years and I still can't get a glimpse of it. You must be careful."

Su Cen nodded and asked again: "So they hunted you down because you failed to assassinate Li Shi?"

"That's not true." Qu Ling'er put down her teacup and took a piece of chestnut cake from the plate. "The secret door sends out [-] people every year to assassinate Li Shi, if not [-]. If they are all killed because they didn't kill him, the secret door There's no one left."

"..."

No wonder Qi Lin never left his body for a moment, and it's no wonder Qi Lin would be cruel to the man in black. They are old acquaintances in the shadow of swords and swords, and there is no need to go through the scene affectionately.

"Then why are you..." Before Su Cen finished speaking, Qu Ling'er glanced over with resentful little eyes, and immediately knew that she had asked something that shouldn't be asked, so she waved her hand helplessly, signaling that she could step back .

Qu Ling'er grabbed two more chestnut cakes before walking away slowly.

Su Cen lay on the table with her head resting on half of her arms. The surroundings were quiet for a moment, and she could hear her own breathing clearly. She felt that most of her body was emptied, and she didn't want to move anymore.

Now it is almost certain that Li Shi's refusal to let him take over this case is related to the secret door. The tentacles of the secret door have touched all parts of Dazhou, and Li Shi knew about it and encircled and suppressed it.It's hard to get results from a secret door, but anyone who knows the current affairs will not do such a thankless thing. From this point of view, Li Shi is for the great Zhou community.

Why did the secret door, which has been hiding in the dark, want to get involved in Tian Pingzhi's case? Why did a scholar who died more than ten years ago attract the attention of the secret door? What role does he play in it?At the same time, pull down two important figures in the court, what exactly do they want to do?

Su Cen tapped the table lightly with her fingertips, but her thoughts slowly and uncontrollably moved elsewhere.So is there any reason why Li Shi didn't let him touch this case because he was worried about his safety?Why don't you just tell him the whole story and have to use that method?

Do you really treat him like a pet?At any rate, he is considered a Dali Temple lawsuit, and he can still take care of it.

Su Cen raised his head vigorously, and will go to Li Shi tomorrow, and if there is anything to explain clearly in person, if it is really because of some secret door, then he can also help.Instead of gouging out the flesh to heal the sores, it is better to eradicate the lesions. He is a Tian Pingzhi. Once the investigation is completed, he does not believe that there is no secret door involved in this case.

A long dream all night, in the dream, I heard iron horses coming on the ice, the man wrote a pen and ink, and wrote the tragic words "Where is the home of Yunheng Qinling" in front of the three armies, with sword eyebrows on his temples, and emotions in his eyes were turbulent and magnificent.As soon as the scene changed, the man took his hand and handed him a bamboo umbrella with a smile in his eyes, like a pot of intoxicating sake.

He is the one who gallops among thousands of heroes in thousands of miles of yellow sand, and he is also the one who is sure of victory in the court.

This was the first time he got a glimpse of the other side of that person. He thought that the rock would be ugly when it was first polished, but he was unexpectedly attracted by the vastness and majesty.

Early in the morning of the second day, the rain did not stop, and it was replaced by light rain.It was the day of rest and bathing, and normally Su Cen would sleep until the sun was high, but today she got up early to tie her hair, stood in front of the closet and hesitated for a long time, remembering that Li Shi's dark clothes were too hostile, so she specially I chose a plain white Su brocade shirt with dark patterns.

He also took out a cup of blue-glazed lotus tea from the dark compartment of the cupboard. The tea given to him by the elder brother before entering Beijing, if the tea that Qu Ling'er drank back then was the best, then this cup was the best of the best. The specially selected first tea in early spring next to Dongting Lake only yields this one poppy a year, and one or two feet is worth ten thousand gold.A few years ago, the eldest brother just got married and married the young lady of the Buzhuang Yue family in Jiangning. Although it looked like a marriage, the two fell in love at first sight. The elder brother was calm and the sister-in-law was gentle.One thing is, elder brother's father-in-law is very good at tea, and the nodding tea is taken by elder brother every year to honor his father-in-law. Thinking that he may need Zhou Huan to enter Beijing this year, he gave him this year's tea, and he is not willing to drink it. That old thing Li Shi is really cheap.

Before going out, he looked at the Xiangzhu umbrella in the corner of the wall that he had dreamed of last night, hesitated a little, finally put it away, took another umbrella and went out.

When we arrived at Xingqing Palace, it was only a few minutes past the hour, Prince Ning was busy with his daily affairs, so Su Cen made a special effort to rush early so that he would not have to interrupt him when he got time.Just in time for the guards who were on duty at Xingqing Palace to change defenses, they all fought wits and bravery together, and when they saw him coming over, they said "Mr. Su is here" and let him in directly.

Thinking of what happened in Prince Ning's bedroom last night, Su Cen still had lingering fears. After thinking about it, he simply waited beside the Longchi. This is the only way to pass through the front and back halls, so he won't miss it.

Arriving at the Huxin Pavilion that day, Su Cen just put away the umbrella, but Su Cen was taken aback when someone got there first.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, the man also turned his head, his gaze changed from hot to cold after a moment of surprise, and he gave him a sidelong glance with a pair of red phoenixes, the contempt in his eyes didn't even bother to hide.

"Who are you?" the man asked, "What's the matter with the guard at the door? They put everything in there casually."

thing?

Su Cen frowned slightly, and saw a conspicuous red mark on the side of the man's neck at a glance.He was not in a hurry to answer, but looked at the person carefully and thoroughly.She was dressed in flamboyant crimson brocade, embroidered with peony patterns with gold thread, and the jacquard style was clearly handcrafted by the palace.

If he can use gold thread, he must be a relative of the emperor, but although this person's clothes are ostentatious, they are not of high quality, not as good as Zheng Yang's cheap son.Judging by age and experience, it doesn't look like he can make contributions.That being the case, it must be a relative who inherited a certain king with a different surname.

Su Cen put away her umbrella and saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty has met your son."

The man raised his eyebrows, "You recognize me?"

"The son is rich and handsome, so the prince will naturally mention it from time to time."

"Oh?" The man became interested, "Then what did the prince say about me?"

"My lord also said..." Su Cen smiled coldly, "He said that the son's skills are too poor, and he can't climb into his bed with just his face."

The man's face instantly turned into a pot bottom.

The first time this person turned around, Su Cen noticed the scorching emotions inside. He was obviously waiting for someone, but he accidentally bumped into him.But if the two of them really had a good spring night last night, with Li Shi's physical strength, it would be strange if he could get up today, so why would he have the time to enjoy the scenery in this lake pavilion.Su Cen immediately concluded that this person came rushing to climb onto the bed, but for some reason, he didn't climb up.

Su Cen's words just hit the sore spot, and the man stood up awkwardly, pointing at Su Cen: "What are you!"

Yes, what is he?

Su Cen couldn't help smiling bitterly, he said that this man didn't climb onto the dragon bed, he was pressed on the ground and humiliated, and then kicked out overnight.

Why Xingqing Palace never keeps anyone, maybe it just drove him away last night and immediately called someone else.At any rate, he was replaced by a relative of the emperor, and he didn't directly call a young man over to disgust him.

Su Cen suddenly lost interest in pestering him any longer. Whether he or this person, they are all degenerate people who are recruited and left as soon as they come. What's the point of haggling here.He picked up the umbrella by himself, picked up the tea poppy on the table, and prepared to leave.

Before he opened the umbrella, someone pulled his arm violently, Su Cen frowned, struggled for a while but couldn't get away, so he had no choice but to turn around.

"It's you, right?" The man looked at Su Cen with a half-smile, "I still think of it as some kind of beauty that overwhelms the country and the city, and made the prince so angry last night, so it's nothing more than that."

"Your Majesty admitted the wrong person," Su Cen pulled his arm out without any intention of pestering him.

"It's you! You are that Mr. Su that those servants talk about," the man became more and more determined, squinting his eyes and looked Su Cen from top to bottom, "Could it be called Su Daji? Fox spirit, old and decrepit, I don't know what the prince likes in you."

"Naturally, I can't compare to the prince in his prime." Su Cen glanced impatiently at the hand holding his arm tightly, "If the prince doesn't let go, when the prince wakes up, I won't be afraid that I, a vixen, will seduce him again."

The man hesitated for a long time, and then he reluctantly let go. Su Cen just took a step after holding the umbrella, when he felt something tripped between his legs, and he leaned forward uncontrollably!As far as the eye can see are two stone steps straight up and down!

Su Cen stretched out his hands to support the ground in a panic, the tea poppy fell to the ground, and the fine azure glaze was smashed into pieces, a piece of which was embedded in his palm, Su Cen felt the pain hit his forehead, and his eyes went dark.

After finally breathing a sigh of relief, when he opened his eyes, a pair of soap boots appeared in front of Su Cen's eyes. Su Cen followed his gaze, and his star eyes were like a thousand feet of cold pool, bottomless.
