pronto

Quiet night, cold wind.

Yan Linsu walked out of the drunken pillow universe without looking back. When he came out, he was still holding the sword in his hand, but his steps were not as relaxed as the expression on his face seemed.

The little prince didn't know what kind of evil he had fallen into, so he wanted to tease him.

Just now he was pressed on the porch pillar for Zhu Yongning, the little prince's face was very close to him, and his eyebrows could be regarded as charming.

Yan Linsu smiled wryly in the cold wind, closed his eyes to calm the fire in his body, and then walked towards the inn not far away that was still lit with lanterns.

A few cars were parked at the entrance of the inn, and a dragon and tiger flag of a bodyguard company was planted, and three or five bodyguards with big arms and waists unloaded their goods.Yan Linsu saw that the boxes they were carrying down fell heavily to his hands, and he didn't know what they were, so he went to the shop.He had already eaten at Xiao Ruan's place, so he just called the shopkeeper and asked for an upper room to rest without mentioning it.

On the second day, Yan Linsu got up early, and when she went downstairs, she saw a man dressed as a scholar carrying a bundle of firewood across the courtyard.

Yan Linsu recognized that look, it was the scholar Xie Ruozhi he bumped into yesterday on the street.He smiled and called out, "Mr. Xie, what a coincidence."

When Xie Ruozhi saw it was him, he also smiled, "So it's you, brother, wait for me for a while, I'll finish moving this bundle of firewood. You helped me pick up the books yesterday, and I'll treat you to breakfast."

Yan Linsu smiled when he heard the words: "That's nothing, Mr. Xie, please don't be polite." Before he finished speaking, he saw Xie Ruozhi walking into the kitchen in a hurry, so he had to swallow the word polite.

After waiting for a while, Xie Ruozhi came out with two bowls in one hand.

Yan Linsu saw that the bowl contained two bowls of steaming soy milk and some noodles.

He found it fresh, "This is?"

Xie Ruozhi handed over a bowl, picked out a pair of chopsticks and said to him, "Brother, this is soya-bean milk that has just been made into beancurd skin and it's still hot. The taste of the noodles can warm up the body after it has just rained, and it is very smooth, the most delicious, so hurry up and try it.”

Yan Linsu was not polite to him, so he ate with chopsticks, and Xie Ruozhi also ate with a bowl.He smiled and said, "How does it taste?"

Although the soy milk noodles tasted good, it was not as Xie Ruozhi said.Yan Linsu smiled and said, "It's really good, thank you Ruozhi."

Xie Ruozhi said: "I haven't asked you how to call Xiongtai yet."

Yan Linsu said: "I'm going to say, Yan Linsu, why is Brother Xie carrying firewood here?"

"I traveled all the way to study, that's probably how I came here. The kind shopkeeper of this shop let me live in the firewood room. In the morning, I helped him move the firewood, and then split it into pieces. I could get three copper coins, and I could also pay for it." breakfast."

Xie Ruozhi had already finished eating in the bowl, and after Yan Linsu had also finished eating, he put away the bowls and chopsticks, and said with a smile, "Brother, I'm going to help the shopkeeper chop firewood."

He took the bowls and chopsticks and went out of the kitchen, only to see Yan Linsu follow in.Hastily said: "Brother Yan, this place is dirty, don't stain your clothes."

Yan Linsu was also the son of a daughter in Xuanyuan Mountain. He was dressed in white at the moment. Although it was not fancy, it was of good quality.He rolled up his sleeves and said, "I ate your noodles, so I should share some of it. Could it be that Ruozhi thinks that I, who hold a sword, are not as strong as you, a scholar."

Seeing that he persisted, Xie Ruozhi no longer refused, pointed a pile of firewood to Yan Linsu, and said, "Brother Yan, wait a minute."

Yan Linsu saw that he dug under the stove for a while, took out a black hatchet head, picked up a suitable one from the woodpile, tapped it on the stove, and handed it to him. .

Seeing the fluent movements of the scholar, Yan Linsu was a little stunned, "Uh... If so, I don't need this thing."

Xie Ruozhi's eyes fell on the saber at his waist, and he suddenly realized: "I forgot, brother Yan is a martial artist, so maybe he wants to use a sword."

Yan Linsu shook his head and said with a smile: "If the mountain master knows that the Suying sword is only drawn for chopping firewood, I'm afraid he will be very angry." He picked up the firewood on the ground, breathed out lightly, and split it into two pieces.

Xie Ruozhi showed admiration in his eyes, "Brother Yan is very skilled."

"I think Ruozhi also seems to have practiced some... techniques to strengthen the body?"

Xie Ruozhi said: "I... my mother once taught me some simple kung fu, but I'm so stupid that I can't learn it."

Yan Linsu suddenly caught his pulse, Xie Ruozhi jumped, "Yan, brother Yan, what are you doing?"

Yan Linsu frowned, let go, and tapped his chest a few times with a wave of his hand.

Before Xie Ruozhi could react, the front of his chest had been torn apart by Yan Linsu, and the acupoints had already been tapped for him to dodge.

Yan Linsu saw that the scholar opened his mouth and stared at him blankly with a pair of dark eyes, and laughed instead. "Ruozhi looks a bit like a person."

Xie Ruozhi said angrily: "Brother Yan, even if I look like your confidante, that Xie Jiabao's Xie is worth it, you, you...don't insult me ​​like this."

Yan Linsu smiled, "How did Ruozhi know Miss Xie's name?"

Xie Ruozhi was so anxious for him just now that he blurted out the name Xie Buchen, and it was too late to change his words now.

"You really have a relationship with Xie Jiabao." Seeing that Xie Ruozhi was silent, Yan Linsu explained with a smile, "I didn't mean to be frivolous, Brother Xie, look at your chest."

Yan Linsu could already see some black marks on his chest.

"The weather is humid and cold. If you feel unwell these days? Forgive me, you seem to have been poisoned. This cold poison came from your mother's womb. I just drew out the blood on your body with Wuxiang finger. Tonight If so, you can sleep well.”

Xie Ruozhi felt that the tightness and soreness in his chest had eased a lot, remembering that just now he had misunderstood Yan Linsu as a prodigal son, and seeing this man standing with a smile in front of him, his face was already blushing quietly.

Before he could speak, Yan Linsu had already opened the acupuncture points on his body.

"Brother Yan, don't blame me, I really don't want to have anything to do with Xie Jiabao."

"Ruozhi's mother's surname is Qin?"

Xie Ruozhi was surprised and said, "How do you know that my mother's surname is Qin."

Yan Linsu asked, "But Qin Yin?"

"Exactly."

At that time, the flying flower girl Qin Yin was obsessed with the owner of Xiejiabao, and willingly married into Xiejia as a concubine.Before Yan Linsu went down the mountain, he had read Xie Jiabao's information, and Feihua Xianu was still a master worth guarding against.

He also thought about how to crack the Flying Flower Sword.

Although Qin Yin is not his opponent in terms of martial arts, the flying flower sword is light and erratic, which can be verified with his Suying sword. It would be a pleasure to see it.

"The Lingtang is now?"

Xie Ruozhi sadly said: "My mother took me across the river when I was three years old, and it has been more than a year since she passed away."

Yan Linsufang sighed, and suddenly heard a long laugh from outside the window, "In broad daylight, Master Liu, you still told me that the place under your rule is very clean?"

He looked up, and saw a man in seven-pin green, autumn grasshopper-colored attire bent over, with a thoughtful smile on his face.

The person standing beside him was Zhu Yongning whom he had just met yesterday.

Yan Linsu saw that the little prince was wearing a black fox fur, which made his face more attractive than the full moon, and when he saw the smile in the fox's eyes, his head hurt a little.

The look on Zhu Yongning's face at this time was because he was watching a good show.

The kitchen had never been closed at all, but County Magistrate Liu glanced into the room and saw a scholar with disheveled clothes, and he showed some understanding on his face.

Seeing the expression on his face, Yan Linsu's head hurt even more.

The kitchen was cramped and cramped, and it was not a place to talk, Yan Linsu walked out the door, cupped his hands and said, "Why is the little prince looking for me?"

Zhu Yongning's eyes showed distress, he seemed to think for a moment, and said: "Master Liu, do we want to find him?"

"How can the little prince find this kind of common people with all kinds of opportunities every day? The officials look at this man with a thin face and a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. At first glance, he is not the person the prince is looking for."

Yan Linsu couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart, he was tall and tall, he had a romantic appearance, but he was useless in the mouth of the county magistrate.

Zhu Yongning nodded, "I remembered, my concubine lost a bead flower yesterday, and this, um, went to my concubine's room last night."

"Uh..." County Magistrate Liu's thoughts turned, could it be that the young prince's head was already green with green onions.I can't tell that this kid has such ability, this little prince is so good-looking, and I don't know what ability this person has to be able to seduce all his concubines.Unless, this little prince is actually inhumane, as expected, a man is not as good as a man...

Naturally, Zhu Yongning didn't know that the county magistrate had already thought of going to Jiutian Yunwai, so he made up a bitter scene of a red apricot cheating on him, glanced at Liu county magistrate, and said, "I've just been there, where do you want to go?" Now, this son is still pure and pure."

County Magistrate Liu said, "Yes."

His mind was spinning fast, the so-called too much talk will lead to loss, this little prince was so angry, he really said the wrong thing.This kid is as pure as ice?The little prince wants to say that his concubine is still pure and pure.

Wait, pure and clean?As expected, this prince is inhumane.

County Magistrate Liu thought about it on the tiger penis and antlers he had stockpiled at home. He didn't know what to give that would please the little prince without being silenced because he knew too much.

As soon as Yan Linsu heard Zhu Yongning's words, he knew that he was looking for trouble.Follow his words and ask, "What does the prince want?"

Zhu Yongning said in a tone that made his teeth itch: "I want...how?" His fox eyes turned to Yan Linsu, and wherever he turned, Yan Linsu felt itchy.

Just as he was putting his hand on the sword, Yan Linsu heard Zhu Yongning say in time: "If you lose something, you should naturally find it. Mr. Yan said that's the truth."

Yan Linsu said calmly, "How do you want to find the little prince?"

Zhu Yongning laughed, clapped his hands and said, "Young Master Yan is so insightful that he has won the heart of the King. Don't worry, Young Master Yan. I just want to search. It just so happens that County Magistrate Liu is here, so I can also be a witness."

Search?Although Yan Linsu was a little upset, but he still had the idea of ​​"let's see what you're planning," and he remained calm.

Even County Magistrate Liu could see that Zhu Yongning was just finding fault, but he had already decided that the little prince was a cuckold, and he was making excuses.He waved his hand and said to the yamen servant who was like a tiger and a wolf: "Search, hurry up, don't you hear me?"

"Wait," Zhu Yongning pointed to Xie Ruozhi and said, "Just now this man undressed for others. Could it be that he hid something, first... search him."

A cold light flashed across Yan Linsu's eyes.

Zhu Yongning said again: "I have studied hard for ten years, and my king sent someone to investigate. This man has a reputation as a scholar. You should be more polite to him."

Yan Linsu changed his mind, it was easy for him to get away, but don't drag this scholar down, since this person has fame and fame, he can't come and go as freely as him.

Yan Linsu said: "My lord, if you have any tricks, just come at me, so why make things difficult for him. If you want to search...you can search for me."

Zhu Yongning smiled lightly and said: "Magistrate Liu, please invite this person to drink tea first, and we will talk about it after the king himself finishes the search."

Well?County magistrate Liu watched Yan Linsu turn around and went back to the guest room. The little prince followed in without saying a word, and the door was closed by the little prince.

He felt that the plot was a little too fast, and he couldn't understand it.

At any rate, he still remembered that Zhu Yongning had ordered them to be more polite to this scholar.

Small, king, master, want, right, one, one, book, student, guest, kindness?

Magistrate Liu twisted his beard and smiled, he understood.

Xie Ruozhi worriedly looked into the closed room, with a worried expression on his face, "My lord, although my friend is a martial artist, he is not a villain."

County magistrate Liu smiled like a little white chrysanthemum, rubbed his hands together and said, "Yes, you can say what you say. I don't know what kind of tea you like to drink? Is it jasmine slices, Dahongpao, or... by the way, Longfeng Tuancha, it’s better to drink Longfeng Tuancha with such a good mood.”

Zhu Yongning closed the door with his backhand in a leisurely manner.

Yan Linsu sat by the bed and poured himself a cup of tea.

Zhu Yongning took out a folding fan from his clothes and folded it in his hand.Yan Linsu couldn't help but smile and said, "The little prince is wearing a fox fur and waving a folding fan. It really is so elegant."

Zhu Yongning said: "Since Linsu knows Fengya, and also knows that twisted melons are not sweet, does this king want me to do it?"

The little prince said that twisted melons are not sweet, but he put on a posture of climbing melon seedlings.

Yan Linsu said silently for a while, "Yes."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to undo his girdle.

Zhu Yongning was quite surprised. He took a few steps forward and was almost standing in front of Yan Linsu. His eyes were watching the young man tenderly, and there was more playfulness in his eyes, "Linsu, could it be..."

Yan Linsu put his hand on the button of the skirt to hold it for him, and when he untied the girdle, he held it in this man's hand, and then heard Zhu Yongning say, "Could it be that the man you like is really a man. Linsu, you want to forget Ben Wang, I found a scholar at random. Do you know how sad I was when I saw you trying to make ends meet in the kitchen. Ben Wang wished he could immediately raise his sword and rush over, but he was afraid Hurt Linsu, so I have to endure it."

Yan Linsu held him in his arms, and felt that he could understand every word Zhu Yongning said, but he couldn't understand the words together, and was confused for a while, and forgot to push them away. "I don't care about anything..."

Zhu Yongning said sadly: "That's right, you met yesterday, and you know each other today. Linsu, you are willing to take off your clothes in front of people for the sake of a person you have known for only two days. This king, this king's heart is really not good." pain."

Yan Linsu was out of breath for a moment, and coughed violently in his arms, Zhu Yongning patted his back for him with a smile.

After Yan Linsu regained her breath, she shouted angrily, "Zhu Yongning!"

Zhu Yongning answered ambiguously in Yan Linsu's ear, "Huh?"

The distance is too close, it has already exceeded the boundary of close friends, not to mention that Yan Linsu and this person are neither close friends nor good friends.

We met by chance, but he didn't forget that he also intercepted this person once.

The voice was deep and mellow, and the slow exhalation made Yan Linsu's ears numb, and the roots of his ears turned red before he knew it.

A warm hand stretched out, "Why are Linsu's ears red? Could it be that the weather is starting to get warmer? It shouldn't be. It's late autumn and it's been raining for days, so it should be cold. Be careful, could it be that you caught a cold?"

Yan Linsu suddenly pushed the man away, and put on the belt that he had untied, "How long is the little prince going to joke with me?"

As soon as he got out of his arms, Zhu Yongning felt that he was reluctant to let go of holding him. Seeing that the young man had arranged his clothes, he felt a little regretful about the unseen spring, and replied without sincerity: "Brother Yan is so interesting, if you don't share with you One or two jokes, I will feel lifeless."

Yan Linsu laughed angrily because of him, "Could the little prince force me to draw my sword?"

Zhu Yongning sighed: "Linsu is so cruel, since you and I met, have I ever treated you poorly?"

Yan Linsu was taken aback by what he said, but when he thought about it, it was like what Zhu Yongning said, the first time he had a fight with this person, he cut off the treasure map from his hand.

"I sent Xiao Ruan to serve you, but Lin Su is good enough to draw his sword at me. This time...do you want to draw your sword at me?"

Yan Linsu was helpless, he felt that keeping silent was probably the best way to deal with this little prince, but somehow, blurting out it was. "I don't draw my sword against you."

Under the skylight coming in through the window, Zhu Yongning's eyes turned a look of joy, he said with a smile: "very good, this time Linsu won't draw his sword against me, maybe next time, he can invite me to drink. Let's not say goodbye today Pass."

Seeing the man in brocade robe and jade belt stepping out the door, Yan Linsu had another thought, what exactly is this man here for?

The shadow of the sun was high outside the door, but there were no traces of the people, even Xie Ruozhi did not know where he had gone.

Yan Linsu took the sword and walked towards the door of the inn, and saw the shopkeeper standing behind the cabinet with a sad face.He smiled and said hello, and the shopkeeper forced a smile.

Just now Zhu Yongning made a big commotion, the shopkeeper quietly hid and saw the two entered the room, he did not dare to offend the owner at will, but the business of this inn is deserted, so many guests checked out and left after the little prince made a fuss , Even the escort team that just checked in last night left in a hurry. They originally said they would stay for three days, but now they only stayed for one day.

Yan Linsu asked: "Shopkeeper, do you know where the scholar named Xie Ruozhi has gone? He lives in the woodshed in the backyard."

The shopkeeper worked hard without smiling, "Oh, he left with the county magistrate."

Could it be that Zhu Yongning broke his promise and still arrested Xie Ruozhi?Seeing Yan Linsu's face turned cold, the shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Guest officer, don't worry, I heard the county magistrate's tone, he is very polite to this scholar Xie." Looking around, he lowered his voice and said: "I know the county magistrate, I've never been so polite to his mother before. I've only been so humble to his Hedong lion."

Hearing this, Yan Linsu felt relieved, said goodbye to the shopkeeper, and walked outside.

The streets in Jiangzhou are not big, so he looked up and saw the word Linjiang Tower, and then walked into the building.

Linjiang Tower Linjiang is very quiet, Yan Linsu listens to the flute and silk bamboo in his ear, raises his glass and drinks, it is also very carefree.

"Have you heard that the Ministry of Criminal Justice recently came up with another big case. People from the Ministry of Criminal Justice came to our Jiangzhou prefecture yesterday, saying that traces of the suspect appeared in Jiangzhou."

"How to say?"

"Next month will be Tian's birthday, and the iron wares and rice grains from the south of the Yangtze River were robbed on the canal before they entered the capital. The escort's master just fell asleep, and the iron wares seemed to have seen a ghost. , they all disappeared.”

"How can the broad iron objects on the river disappear? Could it be that they sank to the bottom of the river?"

"The Marquis of Junyang, who presided over Tianjia's birthday, came in person. He almost sifted the bottom of the river with an iron sieve, and he didn't even catch half a grain of rice."

"Rice? How can you pick it up with an iron sieve? Your cowhide has blown out."

"How can he know so clearly, blow it."

"I...I, how do you guys know that Junyanghou usually listens to operas? A few days ago, he fell in love with a singing swordsman in the pear garden, called Shu Qingxiu. He would go there all day if he had nothing to do. I There is a relative who works in the pear orchard, and I get acquainted with them after coming and going, I heard from him."

"What's so good about the Dao Ma Dan in the pear garden? Last time I went to Beijing, the ones who sang Tsing Yi Hua Dan were the ones who looked handsome. When I asked, it turned out that they were all with handles."

"I heard that the Marquis of Junyang prefers this horse dance sword, and everyone else doesn't look down on him. This knife horse is also a good-looking man, so why would he follow him..."

"In terms of beauty, it's not as good as the little prince from our place."

"Shh, you don't want to die."

Yan Linsu heard them talk more and more shameless, but these market people couldn't argue with them, shook his head and smiled wryly, poured himself a drink.Thinking of the days since I came down the mountain, I felt a faint movement in my heart, and my brows were already furrowed unconsciously.

"Search, do a good search for me." There was a commotion in the street, Yan Linsu followed the sound, and saw more than a dozen yamen servants searching along the street, the leader was sitting on a horse, wearing a blue headhunting suit, with a knife under his clothes. It is capable.There was also a horse parked beside him. The man on the horse was dressed in white. Although his eyes were pure and restrained, they always gave people a gloomy feeling.

Yan Linsu looked over, and his eyes met his.

At that moment, Yan Linsu felt why he was staring at him, it felt a bit like walking in the mountains, and the other party was an owl at night.

There was a sneer on the man's lips, he stepped on the horse's back, performed lightness kung fu, landed in the street, and came up to Linjiang Tower.He went upstairs and walked towards Yan Linsu.Putting his hand on the knife, he said, "Your Excellency, you are very born. Who is your last name? But this is your first time here?"

Yan Linsu looked at the wine in the glass and smiled colder than him, "Who are you, you deserve to ask me."

The man raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm arresting Yin Yang at the fourth rank of the Ministry of Punishment."

This Yin Yang, like Zhu Yongning, was accepted as a disciple of the Ten Halls of Hades, but on the bright side, he was an upright headhunter.

Yan Linsu said lightly, "So it's Mr. Yin, what advice can I give?"

This Yin Yang is not the person from the Ministry of Punishment who ran down Xie Ruozhi with his horse that day.

"I just got the news that the people from Shunxing Escort Bureau died of poisoning in the suburban forest just after they left Jiangzhou City."

Yan Linsu said, "But lost the goods?"

Yin Yang showed a smile on his face, "Yes, Your Excellency is so clear, it seems that there is no escape."

Yan Linsu said: "Man dies for money, and birds die for food. The only one who can make eagles and dogs get up early is this vulgar thing."
