People are floating in the rivers and lakes

Just after noon, the shadows cast by the leaves swayed with the wind, the weather was getting hotter, and there were occasional insects not far away, but it was very quiet.All Qi Zhen could think of was to arrest Ye Tianyuan for questioning, strode forward, then shook all over, ran back quickly, and shrank behind Zuo Shitian.

Zuo Shitian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he looked at a half-foot-long snake on the road, raised his palm and shook it into the grass, and turned sideways to make way for the little prince.

Qi Zhen knew that he was very powerful in his previous life, so he stretched out his paw and patted his shoulder in satisfaction: "Good boy."

Zuo Shitian smiled, and felt that after this interruption, the tense emotions on the little prince's body finally eased, so he continued to follow him, and then asked: "Ye Tianyuan refers to the one of the four evils? How could the young master know him?" ?”

Qi Zhenzhen looked left and right with lingering fear, and answered casually, "He gave me the little golden leaf."

Zuo Shitian was slightly taken aback, then frowned and asked, "The young master has already had contact with him?"

"Well, but he was seen through by me, and he didn't dare to show up again, and he didn't show up until today." Qi Zhen felt a little regretful, "If I knew it, I wouldn't be so anxious last time."

Zuo Shitian was silent for a moment: "What does the young master think of him?"

Qi Zhen immediately wanted to answer, "I'll give you a beating after I finish the question", but thought that Ye Tianyuan might be listening in the dark, so he put on a melancholy expression, and sighed quietly: "Not seeing each other every day is like three autumns."

Zuo Shitian raised his eyebrows: "... Are you still looking for that beauty?"

Qi Zhen nodded: "Of course, if I find Ye Tianyuan, I will find a beauty."

Zuo Shitian calmly began to think about the meaning of this sentence, from "Is the person the little prince is looking at actually a man" to "Is that beauty Ye Tianyuan or disguised?" Then he said slowly: "How much does the young master know about Ye Tianyuan? He especially likes to play with beautiful young men, and he leaves after playing. He has no sincerity."

"I understand," Qi Zhen realized that there was still no one there, so he approached him and whispered, "You are a master, pay attention to the movement on both sides, and don't speak casually from now on."

Zuo Shitian looked at him: "This subordinate will ask one last question."

"ask."

"How did the young master know that it was Ye Tianyuan?"

"He looked like that the last time he appeared..." Qi Zhen briefly talked about the process of meeting. After turning a corner, he was stunned when he saw the light ahead. It's the end.

The terrain of Mucheng was originally high, surrounded by mountains, and when one looked up, one could see towering green hills and lush greenery, and not a single person could be seen.He saw a pile of paper money ashes that had not been blown away in the open space not far away, and suddenly remembered Patriarch Mu's wife who had fallen into the canyon, so he looked back at the path, knowing that this was probably the result of Patriarch Mu's three years of going back and forth.

He walked around in a circle, always thinking that since Ye Tianyuan was pretending to be like that again to lure himself into the bait, he should appear in such a deserted place, and asked, "You didn't find anything?"

Zuo Shitian nodded: "Yes."

"what?"

"I'm afraid the young master guessed wrong, isn't that..." Zuo Shitian said after a pause, looking at the canyon vigilantly, "There is someone."

"Is there someone?" Qi Zhen was very excited, and ran over quickly, then stopped half a foot in front of the canyon, and began to move forward cautiously.Zuo Shitian was afraid that he might make a mistake, so he followed him to the edge, and looked down together, only to see a young man on the side next to them slowly crawling this way, and he was about to come here in two feet. .

Qi Zhen was surprised: "Couldn't he have climbed up from below?"

Zuo Shitian took a look and shook his head: "This canyon is too deep, it is unlikely that he climbed from the bottom, he may have fallen halfway before coming up, but why is there not much injury on his body? It doesn't look like he took the initiative to climb up." Go get something."

Could it be Ye Tianyuan?Qi Zhen's thought flashed across his mind, he squatted down and stared at him, secretly thinking whether it was true or not, he would grab his face first and then speak.Seeing that the young man had also spotted them and was staring blankly at them, he smiled nicely: "Master, can you help me?"

The boy responded silently, humming.

Qi Zhen stretched out his hand, very kindly: "Come on, I'll pull you."

Zuo Shitian said in a low voice: "Master, this subordinate can bring him here."

"No, what should you do if you scare him?" Qi Zhen replied, still squatting there and stretching out his hands.

The young man seemed to be encouraged, he gradually accelerated his speed, and finally reached the edge, happily trying to catch him, but at this moment his foot slipped and he fell down.Qi Zhenxin's head jumped, and he leaned forward and grabbed his wrist forcefully.Zuo Shitian had been watching from the side, and immediately pressed his shoulder to stabilize his body, then with a little force, he brought the two of them up together.

Qi Zhen reacted subconsciously just now, but at this moment he slowly recalled it, nestled in fear, suddenly seemed to be touched by Zuo Shitian on the head, he didn't care, and didn't speak for the time being.

The boy was also in a daze, his eyes turned red after a few breaths, and he choked up and said, "...Thank you."

Qi Zhen took a look, saw that the young man was very cute, he looked like a rabbit, and there was no way to connect him with Ye Tianyuan, so he stretched out his paw and pinched his face, completely relieved: "Are you all right?"

The boy sniffed: "Well, what's your name?"

Qi Zhen regained his composure, stood up with a smile, and stretched out his hand to him again: "My servant, Yang Zhen, how about you?"

The young man stretched out his arm to wipe away his tears, and held his hand, his voice still choked with sobs: "My name is Mu Shili."

Qi Zhen noticed that his palm had been cut by the rock, and asked, "How did you fall?"

"Huh?" Mu Shili was stunned, and quickly shook his head, "No, I live down there. My mother asked me to come up to my father to save her. She said that my father is the head of the Mu family in Mu City. Do you know him? ?”

Qi Zhen: "..."

Zuo Shitian: "..."

Qi Zhen walked back silently. He remembered that Patriarch Mu had only one son, not to mention that Mrs. Mu had been missing for three years. Even if Hong Xing got out of the wall, she would not be able to give birth to such a big child. Besides, the canyon was very deep, how could this boy climb up?Or not biological?Expert?

He stopped suddenly, and walked back quickly.

Zuo Shitian: "..."

Mu Shili was a little puzzled, looking at them and waiting for an answer.

Qi Zhen said gently: "I know, I will take you there."

Mu Shili's eyes lit up: "Well, you are a good person."

"It's a trivial matter, nothing to worry about." Qi Zhen pulled him back to the city with a smile, but seeing that he was already out of strength, he asked Zuo Shitian to carry him on his back. After walking a dozen steps, he suddenly remembered something and looked at Zuo Shitian. : "What did you want to say just now? I guessed wrong?"

"Well, that's not Ye Tianyuan."

Qi Zhen was startled: "Why?"

Zuo Shitian asked back: "Since Ye Tianyuan's appearance has been seen through, how can he play it again this time?"

Qi Zhen blinked, vaguely having a bad premonition, and said hesitantly, "In order to lure me into the bait? He said that I was very interesting when he ran away."

Zuo Shitian smiled and shook his head, supported Mu Shili with one hand, took out a pamphlet from his bosom with his free hand, and handed it over: "This is information about some people and gangs in the Jianghu. Ye Tianyuan's usual method is to communicate with his prey. Get familiar with it before attacking, the last thing you want to see during this period is that the prey is wary of him, if he pretends to be like before, you must know that it is him, will he succeed in this situation?"

"……Won't."

"So why does he pretend to be one more time knowing that it's thankless?"

Qi Zhen opened his mouth: "You mean..."

"That should be the deity."

Qi Zhenxin's head jumped wildly, and his face changed a little. If he is really crazy, if he finds that the dark guard and Yunzhuo are chasing after him, he doesn't know what he will do!

Zuo Shitian glanced at him if he felt something: "Master?"

Qi Zhen forced himself to be calm, and said in a deep voice, "We'll go back right away."

Zuo Shitian was taken aback by his suddenly sharp eyes, nodded, and simply took one person with one hand and used lightness kung fu directly. When they arrived at the place where they separated, it was less than half an hour before the agreed time. The people from the other two roads didn't find the man in red, so they should all be rushing back now.Seeing Qi Zhen pacing back and forth, Mu Shili seemed very irritable, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?"

Qi Zhen answered simply: "Wait for someone."

Mu Shili couldn't help comforting him: "It's okay, don't worry, maybe the person you're waiting for will come soon."

Qi Zhen responded, and then glanced out of the corner of the eye, seeing Gouzi and the others really came back, he hurried forward to meet him. After asking, he found out that the right side is also a dead end, so the most likely one is the one that Yun Zhuo took. , He immediately said: "You dog, send him to Mu's house, and chase the rest with me."

Zuo Shitian couldn't help asking: "The young master knows that person?"

"Maybe, I have to go and see."

Zuo Shitian still had a lot of questions, but looking at the young prince's appearance, he probably didn't care about him, so he secretly thought that there was no danger in meeting him, so he hugged the young prince, and ran towards that side with another hidden guard using lightness kung fu. Quickly threw the remaining two people in place.The boy raised his head: "Your name is Gouzi? My name is Mu Shili."

The dark guard said blankly: "...No, I won't call, he's teasing you."

Mu Shili was a little dazed, and was led into the city.

Qi Zhen and the others saw the other two subordinates when they chased him halfway, but Yun Zhuo was the only one missing. He hurriedly jumped down from Zuo Shitian's arms: "Where's my brother? Have you seen the man in red?"

The dark guard shook his head: "We didn't find anyone, so we rushed back. Mr. Yun said that he still has something to do and let us go first. He will return to the city by himself in a while."

Qi Zhen asked, "What's the matter with him?"

"He didn't say."

Qi Zhen was worried: "Are you sure you didn't chase after anyone?"

"Yes."

"He said he'd be back in a while?"

"Yes."

Qi Zhen knew that Yun Zhuo was smart and would not do anything that would cost him money, so he nodded, then hesitated for a moment, and asked Zuo Shitian: "Do you think we can catch up to the man in red if we keep chasing?"

Zuo Shitian looked at him: "The front will diverge again, can the young master be sure which one he is taking?"

Qi Zhen was silent, and it took him a long time to suppress the chaotic emotions in his heart, and said slowly: "Let's go back."

Things in Liujiabao went smoother than expected. Master Hua Duo replied the letter to his subordinates, then pried out the words from the captured people, and then began to collect the net, and the tragedy was considered over.Mo Huo didn't participate in the banquet held by several big families, but ordered his subordinates to pack their luggage and prepare to set off for Mucheng.

Wei Xuan went into the study and told him the news from various places as usual: "The matter of Zhongli's family is already on the brink."

Mo Huo said lightly, ever since the girl from Zhongli's family fell in love with a young master, Zhonglihao sent someone to find him. The two of them are family friends. Although he was unhappy with Zhonglihao, he would not help his sister , if it goes well, he should be able to drink the wedding wine at Zhongli's house in a short time. He asked, "What is the identity of that person?"

"I haven't found it yet," Wei Xuan looked at him, "but I figured out that he is probably going to Mucheng, and the master Zhongli has already brought people there."

Mo Huo reacted: "What?"

Wei Xuan repeated: "He went to Mucheng."

Mo Huo maintained a calm look, waved his hand: "Well, I see."

Wei Xuan glanced at him again and backed out.

The door creaked shut, and Mo Huo's face darkened immediately, and he got up and paced irritably, secretly thinking that he shouldn't have helped in the first place, and let Zhong Lihao go find it himself!And why didn't the subordinates tell him first when they found out the news?What are you eating!Wait, it seems that he ordered the people from Fengfenglou to report directly to Zhonglihao...

His face became even more ugly, and he walked back and forth again, then stopped abruptly. The next moment, he heard a knock on the door, and he said calmly, "Come in."

Mr. Liu pushed open the door and saw him standing with his hands behind his back, quietly looking at the ink paintings on the wall, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment, secretly regretting that he shouldn't hang his paintings in the room, but made some calligraphy and paintings of famous people.He took two steps forward and said respectfully, "Lord Mo."

"Ah."

Mr. Liu inhaled slightly, lifted the hem of his clothes, and knelt on the ground.

Mo Huo turned his head and looked down at him: "What?"

Mr. Liu's cold eyes were a little red: "I thank the landlord Mo for the help of the 73 people in Liujiabao. There is no way to repay my kindness. From now on, my life, Liu Ang, belongs to the landlord Mo!"

After saying that, he bowed his head and bowed deeply.
