Weicheng snow

When the four of them crossed the long street, in order not to attract too much attention, they purposely kept a short distance between each other. Yi Qingchen paid special attention to those corners where people could easily hide, but found nothing.

Arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion smoothly, Yi Qingchen walked to the gate first, and reported Master Liu's name with the guards, the person who sent the message went to the mansion to announce, after about a cup of tea, he hurried out again, and Yi Qingchen He bowed very politely, "Master Prime Minister is not in the mansion right now, and I don't know exactly where he went."

Yi Qingchen asked, "What about Miss Yu Zhao?"

The messenger replied respectfully, "Miss, as soon as she returns to the capital, she will enter the palace to accompany the eldest princess."

Yi Qingchen folded his arms around his chest, sighed somewhat dejectedly, and was about to leave, but the messenger pointed to a pagoda tree in front of the mansion and said, "Although the tree is lush, its roots are rotten, and it is almost dead." Yi Qingchen was stunned for a moment, and felt that there was something in this person's words, so he asked for advice, "Please give me some advice, sir."

The messenger bowed to Yi Qingchen again, and replied, "It's too late..."

Yi Qingchen raised his eyes in astonishment, not understanding the meaning, but a faint sense of uneasiness spread from his heart, "What do you mean, sir?"

The messenger ignored Yi Qingchen's problem, only looked up at the sky, and said to the guard beside him, "The moonlight is still not very good tonight, when you patrol, remember to collect the wood that the master has left in the courtyard. If it gets wet with dew, the master will get angry again. Do you still remember? It’s the wood hanging near the loquat tree, don’t forget!” After saying that, he turned and went back to the house.

Yi Qingchen smiled knowingly, and led the three of them back without saying a word.

The killer of the Yue family walked to Yi Qingchen's side in two or three steps, walked side by side with him, and asked, "Go back and wait? Or wait here?"

Yi Qingchen thought about it, "The old man asked me to meet in the courtyard tonight, it would be a waste of time if there were too many people, but I might not be able to enter the palace today..." Turning to look at Hua Shenchi who has been silent all this time, " Do you want to enter the palace?"

Hua Shenchi really nodded, and walked towards the palace without saying a word.

Yi Qingchen stood there dumbly, staring at Hua Shenchi's back, but did not catch up.The killer of the Yue family was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized, "Didn't he say he wanted to give me the antidote?"

Murong Qian stepped forward and thoughtfully said, "Maybe I will wait until the person is rescued before I give it to you." Turning to look at Yi Qingchen with a melancholy face, he asked, "Brother Xue, what's next?" What's the plan?"

Yi Qingchen sighed softly, clenched his fists, and smiled with Murong Qian, "I'll see the old man tonight and see what he can do." The killer of the Yue family asked again, "The little boy who was snatched away by the ghost-faced gentleman What about the girl?"

Murong Qian said indifferently, "It's nothing, I'll take care of the ghost-faced gentleman's affairs. As long as Jiang Zhige is still in our hands, he won't dare to mess around."

The killer of the Yue family couldn't believe it, "Are you joking about that little girl's life? That lunatic would be as jealous of his elder brother as a boy? I think he is very unrestrained and unrestrained, so he shouldn't care about it, right?"

Yi Qingchen shook his head, "...Probably the only family member in the world, and he will never give up easily." He looked at Murong Qian with a complicated expression, and just met his gaze. With a cute smile, Yi Qingchen's mood became more complicated, so he forced a smile back.

After returning to the inn, the killer of the Yue family asked Xiao Er for a bucket of hot water to take a bath, leaving only Yi Qingchen and Murong Qian in the room.Yi Qingchen sat by the coffee table, thinking about a lot, hesitant to speak several times, Murong Qian sat on the bed a foot away from Yi Qingchen, looked at Yi Qingchen quietly, seeing that Yi Qingchen didn't do anything no matter what. Fa couldn't get those words out of his mouth, so he chuckled, took out Qianshanxue from his sleeve, and wiped it with a white silk handkerchief, "Brother Xue, don't you want to ask?"

Yi Qingchen stared at Qian Shanxue closely, and the answer was very clear. In fact, when he was in Shilin Village, he began to suspect Murong Qian because of Qian Shanxue, but at that time he had learned too little about the Marrow Sect. He felt that even though Murong Qian had something to do with them, he was the kind who could withdraw and retreat.

But as he knew more and more things, and Murong Qian deliberately exposed more and more lies to him, he gradually understood that all this was far from as simple as he imagined.

Murong Qian didn't seem to be planning to keep concealing it any longer.

As long as Yi Qingchen asked that sentence out of his mouth, many things can be logically arranged.But every time he thinks about how the two brothers of the Jiang family are at odds with each other, for some reason, he can't ask the words that are on his lips.

Right now is obviously a good time to ask questions, and no one else will hear them, but in the end, he is too cowardly to face the truth that is about to surface.

The two remained silent until the killer of the Yue family hummed leisurely outside the door. Yi Qingchen raised his eyes to Murong Qian and said weakly, "Put Qian Shanxue away. Now is not the time to worry about these things." , wait for this matter..."

"You and I, let's make it clear."

The sound of the song was getting closer, and the killer of the Yue family pushed the door open from the outside. While wearing a belt around his waist, the two people in the same room said, "There is a shop nearby that sells roast duck that tastes good. Young master, I decided to The host invites you to have a meal and fulfill the friendship of the landlords that the people of the Central Plains say."

Yi Qingchen looked at the blond waist-length hair with slight drops of water scattered down by the Yue family killer, as well as his high nose bridge and indigo eyes, and joked, "This is not your hometown. You don't need to deliberately pay, I will share the dinner equally."

The killer of the Yue family spread his hands and said, "Don't be so boring. It's rare that the young master admires you. Although he is weaker, but fortunately he is not bad, and he knows how to behave better than your man."

Yi Qingchen is in a bad mood right now, and he really doesn't have the mood to continue joking with the Yue family killer, so he just says whatever he wants without taking it to heart.Since he insisted on doing something, Yi Qingchen didn't refuse anymore, so he went to the door to put on his coat, and moved his hands and feet a little.Right now the pain in the wound is much better than in the daytime, Hua Shenchi's wound medicine is really effective.

In this case, it will be much more convenient to act tonight.

A few people went for a walk to the roast duck restaurant that the killer of the Yue family said was delicious, and ordered a few plates of roast duck with different sauces, and no one said a word of gossip halfway through.

When the food was served, everyone just ate their own food, eating quietly, without rushing.

After waiting, the customers in the surrounding seats changed again and again, and the pedestrians on the street gradually became less and less. When the shopkeepers started to calculate the daily revenue, the killer of the Yue family just got up to check out. Tongyi Qingchen and Murong Qian They walked out of the roast duck restaurant together.

The three of them stood in front of the shop to blow the air, and the killer of the Yue family put his hands on the browbones, looked up at the windless sky, and said to the other two, "I heard that one of you was once called 'White Clothes Flying Snow'." ', the other is known as the 'Jade Faced Flying Fox', and they are both top-notch masters of lightness kung fu..."

Yi Qingchen didn't understand why the Yue family's killer suddenly mentioned this, "So?"

The killer of the Yue family looked at the night around him, raised the corners of his lips, and said in a low voice, "I am also very skilled, young master, so let's scatter around for a while. It is impossible that there are no people from the Essence Sect hiding around here, otherwise the prime minister will kill him." Elderly people will not choose such a conservative way of meeting, acting together is too eye-catching, so even if you are near the prime minister's residence, you have to be careful."

Yi Qingchen understood and nodded.The killer of the Yue Family jumped onto the roof and entered the night, Murong Qian asked Yi Qingchen, "Brother Xue wants to act alone?"

Yi Qingchen gave a thoughtful "hmm", and asked Murong Qian in deliberation, "It's nearby... that's all." Turning around to leave, Murong Qian suddenly called to Yi Qingchen, and said slowly "There are two ambushes of the Marrow Sect near here. They are the roof of the grocery store 300 meters away to the west and the alley [-] meters away. Brother Xue, if you don't want to be discovered by the national teacher, you'd better avoid these two places. "

Yi Qingchen looked at Murong Qian with a complicated expression, "You know exactly what they are going to do?"

Murong Qian smiled obediently and said, "The purpose of Tian Gui Lao Dao is to find out whether there are shark beads hidden in the palace, and by the way, see what Sun Ming's plan is. As for why the other guardians came here, I can only say Each has its own purpose, but they don't know each other. It was beyond my expectation to meet Yeluo in the bamboo forest."

Yi Qingchen said again, "So you dragged me into that alley in the first place for a purpose?"

Murong Qian nodded, "There is a moving eyeliner nearby, so Brother Laxue went into the alley to avoid it, but he didn't expect to meet Monk Wuliang and that little girl. But Monk Wuliang is not the type of meddlesome person, Maybe I just feel that the Central Plains is about to be destroyed, so let's bring that little girl over to play first."

Murong Qian said it calmly, but Yi Qingchen was very confused, "So what is your relationship with the Marrow Sect?"

Hearing this, Murong Qian smiled softly, then stepped forward, reached out and touched Yi Qingchen's cheek, and said in a low voice, "Brother Xue doesn't need to know, even if brother knows very well, don't Speaking of which, Xiaoqian still wants to stay with brother Xue for a while longer, Xiaoqian promises that she will never do 'bad things'..."

It was obviously a very well-behaved smile, but it appeared on Murong Qian's face at this moment, and in Yi Qingchen's eyes, it was inexplicably covered with a haze.Yi Qingchen was troubled in his heart, and really didn't dare to continue asking, "Since you know the safest way to go, then lead the way..."

Murong Qian smiled and nodded, took Yi Qingchen's wrist, jumped up, and walked freely on the roof.As for Murong Qian's lightness kung fu, although he was enlightened by Yi Baixue, he was taught by Mr. Dugu. Although you can still see a trace of Yi Baixue's shadow in his gestures and gestures, it is more of the unreasonable oppression that Mr. Dugu bestowed on others. feel.

Yi Qingchen followed behind Murong Qian, looking at this somewhat strange figure from the back, feeling so sad that he couldn't speak.

When the two arrived at the prime minister's mansion, the killer of the Yue family hadn't arrived yet, Yi Qingchen and Murong Qian waited for a while, but no one came, Yi Qingchen checked the sky from time to time, for fear of delaying the time.Murong Qian comforted Yi Qingchen, "Brother Xue go in first, Xiao Qian is waiting here."

Yi Qingchen struggled for a moment, nodded, and landed gracefully in the courtyard, nimbly avoiding the patrolling guards, turned around, turned up and down, or hid in the shadows, or turned his back to the building, walked around for a long time, Finally, I went around into the courtyard where the wood was dried.

Because of the loquat tree, this courtyard is very easy to find.

As soon as Yi Qingchen turned into the arched door, he saw the loquat tree.The old trees are planted on a small island in the middle of a pond. Apart from the old trees, there are also many loquat trees that are about the same size as those in Master Liu’s courtyard. Under the shade of flowers and trees, a pavilion is hidden in it.A white-haired old man is sitting in the pavilion, just looking at it from a distance, you can feel that although this person is old, he still has an extraordinary bearing.

There is a curved arch bridge on the water, the arch bridge connects the pool bank and the pavilion, Yi Qingchen boldly walked up, but before he stepped on the bridge, the old man said, "How is brother Liu these years? "

Yi Qingchen was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied, "It's not too good, but fortunately, with the help of Lingshan, it's still safe."

The old man pondered for a moment, looked up at Yi Qingchen's attire for a while, nodded with satisfaction, and made a gesture of invitation, "Don't stand there anymore, come here, sit down." Although the old man has sword eyebrows, he looks But it is not as majestic as in the legend, and it makes people feel friendly when he smiles, which is completely different from Master Liu's image of unshaven, angry and cursing at every turn.

Yi Qingchen sat opposite the old man with some restraint, and called out respectfully, "Master Prime Minister."

Yu Feng waved his hand lightly, "You are Brother Liu's disciple, don't stick to these things, I and Brother Liu are siblings, we are called brothers, you can just call me uncle."

Yi Qingchen called obediently, "Uncle Master." Yu Feng smiled heartily, "You have lived with Brother Liu for a long time, are you not used to the rules here? It is indeed a bit rigid, if you don't think Zi Zi, follow Brother Liu's example, don't care about me."

After all, Yi Qingchen didn't dare to be as presumptuous as he was at home, but he did relax a lot psychologically, showing a somewhat relieved smile.

Yu Feng nodded in satisfaction, picked up the jug beside him, and filled the jade cup in front of Yi Qingchen. Yi Qingchen stared at the jade liquid in the cup in astonishment, struggled for a long time, and finally shook his head helplessly, "It's true. I'm sorry Uncle, the situation is urgent right now, no mistakes can be tolerated, I'm too strong to drink, I really don't dare to drink, if I offend my Uncle, I will wait for this matter, I will come to apologize..."

Yu Feng smiled and waved his hands, "It's okay, it's just that I didn't expect you to live with Brother Liu for so long, and you can't touch wine. It can be seen that Brother Liu really likes you, and I appreciate you too, old man. If you don’t drink when you drink, if you don’t follow the rules, you will break the big things. Young people have a limit, it’s good, it’s good..."

It can be seen that because of Master Liu's relationship, Yu Feng's attitude towards Yi Qingchen is very easy-going.Yi Qingchen chatted with him for a while, and talked about Master Liu's affairs in Weicheng these years, which was regarded as a simple chat.

After the small talk, it's time to get down to business, which is also the reason why the two met here tonight.
