"Yes, Wu Jiu will definitely live up to the prince's entrustment."

Coming out of the inn where King Xu stayed, Yan Wujiu, Bai Xiaofeng and his group rushed back to Fengzhuang during the night.

Along the way, the wind and the horse were fast, without words.

When they got to Fengzhuang, the east was already pale.

Yan Wujiu got off the horse, handed over trivial matters to Su Jianqing, and left without saying a word.

But Bai Xiaofeng stopped him: "Master Yan."

Yan Wujiu didn't move, turned his head and looked back calmly: "Is there something wrong?"

Bai Xiaofeng smiled gently, and walked towards this arrogant young man: "Mr. Yan has been working so hard these past two days, and I feel uneasy. However, since the misunderstanding has been clarified, I hope that you and I can work together in the future. cooperate."

Yan Wujiu suddenly laughed.

At this moment, counting the last night that just passed, Yan Wujiu hadn't slept well for two nights, and when he lacked sleep, his temper was definitely not much better.

Su Jianqing and others went to settle the horses, and by the way unify the caliber to cover up the traces of their trip tonight.

Yan Wujiu smiled, but his eyebrows and eyes were cold: "There is only Patriarch Bai and me here, you can speak directly if you have anything to say."

Bai Xiaofeng's face remained unchanged: "Master Yan is angry, the old man can understand, but what happened tonight is also a surprise for Mr. Yan, the prince's trust in Mr. Yan is beyond my reach..."

laugh.

Sneering undisguisedly, Yan Wujiu smiled brilliantly, his long eyebrows raised arrogantly, and the faint blue color around his brows and eyes, on that gorgeous and sharp face, showed a kind of majesty that blended clarity, fragility and ruthlessness, which was amazing. Dare not touch its edge.

It turned out to be a bit more terrifying ambition and power than the Xu Wang they had just met.

Bai Xiaofeng's eyes froze suddenly, his face remained motionless.

Yan Wujiu stood with his hands behind his back, tapped the horsewhip lightly, and looked at him with disdain, the blade and the peach blossoms covering each other: "Patriarch Bai did not understand what I said, or was he pretending to be stupid? I know better than you whether Xu Wang trusts me or is it a temptation. .There are less than ten days left in the next month, a case that can't be solved even by the six gatekeepers. Do you know what it means for me to solve it?"

Bai Xiaofeng frowned slightly, but still calmly said: "The old man dare not speculate on the prince's deep meaning in vain, and I will also send Master Yan a piece of advice from someone who has come here. Walls have ears, and evil comes from the mouth."

Yan Wujiu blinked slowly and smiled, the menacing expression on his face softened a bit, he said with a smile: "Patriarch Bai, if someone else says this, I should appreciate him as a gentleman. Patriarch Bai said this It would disappoint me. If the six doors are the ones to solve the case, it would be wise for Patriarch Bai to seek my full cooperation. But it is I, Yan Qingdu, who is solving the case, so Patriarch Bai should be careful."

This has been said very clearly.

The fingers in Bai Xiaofeng's sleeves moved slightly, but his face remained calm, only the light in his eyes flickered for a few breaths.

Yan Wujiu walked towards him slowly, and said in a low voice, "Have I made it clear enough?"

Others didn't understand, but Bai Xiaofeng did understand, Yan Wujiu's words couldn't be more clear.If you put it more clearly, it is completely irreversible.

Who should be careful of the person who solves the case?Nature is the real culprit behind the case.

Yan Wujiu told Bai Xiaofeng to be careful, which almost made it clear that he believed that Bai Xiaofeng was the real culprit behind the scenes!

But why?How could Yan Qing suspect him?

If it was normal, Bai Xiaofeng could take this as the other party's test of himself and talk nonsense, but Yan Qingdu's behavior at this moment was already extremely impatient, and this was giving him an ultimatum.

Bai Xiaofeng could no longer pretend not to understand: "Master Yan said it very clearly. But the old man doesn't understand what Master Yan wants?"

Yan Wujiu's expression faded, and he half-closed his eyes to look at him: "What I want depends on what Patriarch Bai wants. Do you really want to cooperate with me, or do you want to be like that nameless corpse in Yizhuang and give me a hand behind your back?" Palm, stepping on my dead body to achieve your purpose? Show me your sincerity."

Hearing Yan Wujiu mention the corpse, the expression of Bai Xiaofeng's eyebrows finally changed, and he could no longer maintain the calmness that did not change before Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.

Especially, Yan Wujiu firmly insisted that he was responsible for that person's death.

"Master Yan, did you misunderstand something? What is the relationship between the corpse in Yizhuang and the old man..."

"Patriarch Bai, you don't have much time. I still have ten days, and you may not even have three days. The body of the person Xu Wang sent to steal the order is in the hands of the six doors. Xu Wang really doesn't need to care about it. What he should care about is You. Because there is no one who is King Xu on the body, but it is written: The person who killed him was the Kai Shanzhang of the Mu family."

Yan Wujiu looked at Bai Xiaofeng with a lack of interest, his eyes were even more disheartened, Ruifeng's eyes with gorgeous lines were slightly narrowed, darker than the cloud left by the blue sky after the rain.

"To be honest, Patriarch Bai disappointed me. Are you confident that the god arresters of the six doors will not be able to see the origin of the palm prints on the back of the corpse, or do you think that you kill and abandon the corpse at the bottom of the well, and the means of transferring and covering up are clever enough? Six doors Can't catch you without evidence?"

"I might as well tell you that the six doors really only suspect Mu Tianhe, and they can't find you for the time being. The premise is to make those under you less petty, and don't just hand their tails into their hands."

Bai Xiaofeng's face was pale and extremely calm, but his heart sank completely: "Master Yan, why do you say this is what this old man did?"

"You really have great strategy and courage. You pulled him under the nose of Xu Wang to cover you. Your tactics are so clever that even I almost thought that things are just as they appear on the surface, and they are all instigated by Xu Wang. It's a pity. , Patriarch Bai's luck is not good, just a little bit, and all previous efforts have been wasted."

Yan Wujiu already knew that the corpse in Yizhuang was killed by Mu Tianhe's Kai Shanzhang, and Bai Xiaofeng and Mu Tianhe abandoned the corpse at the bottom of the well in front of Bai Chenxi.This is a well-documented and undeniable fact.

In front of King Xu last night, he almost believed that King Xu ordered Bai Xiaofeng and the others to silence them.

However, when he mentioned that the corpse was in the hands of Six Doors, the words of Bai Xiaofeng and Xu Wang were very different.

According to Xu Wang, the person who stole the order was just his order, and had nothing to do with Bai Xiaofeng and others.As for that person, he was afraid of being silenced and never returned.King Xu didn't know how he died at all, and he didn't care, he only cared about the whereabouts of the secret orders and keys after he died.

Obviously, Xu Wang already knew that the body fell into the hands of the six doors, and also knew that the people from the six doors did not find the secret order and secret key. So, the question is, who told Xu Wang these things?

Although Xu Wang has many capable and righteous men, only Bai Xiaofeng and Yan Wujiu are responsible for the closure of the village.

Then, it can only be told by Bai Xiaofeng, who has a closer relationship with King Xu.

If Bai Xiaofeng was the one who obeyed Xu Wang's order to silence and steal the order, why did he conceal the cause of death from Xu Wang?

What's more, as Yan Wujiu said, the corpse fell into the hands of the six doors, and it was only a matter of time before Mu Tianhe was caught by the six doors.It's impossible for Bai Xiaofeng not to be in a hurry, but why did he have a calm and calm attitude in front of King Xu, as if he didn't have any anxiety at all?

It can only be that he is concealing Xu Wang.

Bai Xiaofeng didn't want King Xu to know that the man's death was related to him.

But why is Bai Xiaofeng afraid that King Xu will know?

Bai Xiaofeng also asked Yan Wujiu: "Why is the old man afraid that the prince will know? The prince has been very angry since the man left and never returned, and ordered the old man to catch him as soon as possible. If this is really what the old man did, the old man can tell King Xu directly. , when he was caught, he missed and executed this person on the spot. Even if the prince knew, he wouldn’t blame the old man, would he?”

Yan Wujiu closed his eyes and looked at him firmly: "Patriarch Bai, the answer to this question is too simple, you dare not let Xu Wang know that you killed the person, of course it is because Xu Wang will ask you Open the secret order and secret key to accompany the mausoleum. Just like now, he knew that Gu Yuexi and I had discovered the body and asked me for the secret order and secret key."

Bai Xiaofeng was silent.

Pushing his opponent into a desperate situation, Yan Wujiu's expression turned soft and harmless.

He blinked slowly, and said calmly: "Patriarch Bai, will you give it?"

Bai Xiaofeng smiled, and sighed sadly: "It's the old man who is stupid. Up to now, I'm still holding on to luck, hoping that Mr. Yan won't notice me because of the matter of King Xu. I didn't expect that I had already shown so much. A little bit, just a little bit, I’m really not reconciled.”

Yan Wujiu remained silent, quietly waiting for his decision.

Suddenly, Bai Xiaofeng's face was full of vicissitudes, and he smiled wearily: "I know this matter can't be avoided, but it's been so long, only ten days away, and I thought I could get through it. Thank you, Lord Yan, for pointing out in front of King Xu. So far, it was not revealed on the spot."

Yan Wujiu didn't think to turn his cards over with him right now, he planned to go back to sleep and talk about it when he wakes up.

Helpless, Bai Xiaofeng insisted on pulling him to try.

Having said all this, he simply finished it all at once: "Patriarch Bai hasn't lost everything yet, so there's no need to sigh now. Since Patriarch Bai knows my sincerity, put away those unnecessary temptations. Go back Tell the public loser to shut up and stop talking nonsense, and tell all of you to put your paws away. After I wake up, I hope Patriarch Bai can think clearly about whether to cooperate with me honestly. This is your only chance. "

Bai Xiaofeng naturally knew that Yan Wujiu was already invincible, he was puzzled and said, "But why, Master Yan? You don't need to cooperate with me at all."

"Yes." Yan Wujiu blinked laxly, and smiled broadly: "It's very interesting that you tricked King Xu under his nose. I appreciate it very much. Is this reason enough?"

After speaking, he turned and left, just wanting to go back to his room immediately and have a good sleep.

Everything, wait until he wakes up.

When Yan Wujiu walked out of Bai Xiaofeng's sight, a monk in plain clothes and white shirt appeared in front of Yan Wujiu.

Yan Wujiu was very tired, walked up to him without saying a word, opened his hands confidently, frowned slightly and pursed his lips: "Sleepy."

The holy and ascetic monk hugged him naturally, and after Yan Wujiu fell asleep in his arms the next moment, he gently carried him back to the room.

For that person who wholeheartedly relies on trust and gets close to him, every inch of his body, from the inside to the outside, seems to be soaked in the warm sunshine.

It seems that the whole world is full of peach blossoms and thousands of trees surrounded by spring breeze and moonlight.

Since Yan Wujiu took Yayuwei to block Bai Xiaofeng and his party yesterday, there was no Fenlian by his side.

But, of course, it wasn't that he wouldn't let Fen Lian follow him, but that Fen Lian had been following him in the dark.

Any words of deterrence are not enough to make Yan Wujiu feel confident and seek skin from a tiger.

Only this point, he knew that Fen Lian was standing behind him, and even that monstrous monk with eyes in the sky and an indifferent face would stand in front of him the moment the cold arrow came.

Although Yan Wujiu himself may not realize it, but his body has become very accustomed to this person.

Fen Lian felt this habit, her heart was softened and swollen, like being soaked in wine, both sweet and sour.

Joyful satisfaction, blank blankness, I only know to be careful and careful in a gentle hug, I don't know what else to do.

He embraced this noble and arrogant young master with a bad temper, like an arrogant cat, a tumulus with delicate petals and thorny thorns, a gorgeous and empty garden, a city in the sky that he wanted to touch in his entire life.

Because the overflowing tenderness and joy annihilated him, his whole body seemed to tremble uncontrollably.

So that, sighing softly, to prove the truth of this moment.

……

Fengzhuang, the Bai family.

"Patriarch, do you really want to tell Yan Qingdu? Is the whole person trustworthy?"

"Patriarch, absolutely not. We might as well tie him up directly! It will be fine after these ten days."

"I think it's okay. This person is really dangerous and cunning. He was ordered by Xu Wang to check the secret key. How could he cooperate with us? He made up his mind to use us, and he claimed credit in front of Xu Wang without any effort."

"Although I don't think so, I really don't think he has any reason to stand on our side. If Xu Wang trusted him so much, if he dismissed him and sold him backhandedly, why should he believe that he won't do it again?" Betray us?"

"Patriarch think twice..."

Bai Xiaofeng raised his eyes, and the surrounding gradually calmed down.

"I know what you mean, but now we have nowhere to go. The reason why everyone can stand here is because Yan Qing is lenient. Besides, his relationship with King Xu is more complicated than you think, Xu Wang doesn't trust him as much as he seems. He clearly sees it for himself, and this is our only chance."

The emotions of the people around were slightly turbulent in an instant.

"But I heard..."

"How could it be... even the leader of the Crow Feather Guards gave it..."

Bai Xiaofeng looked around and said calmly: "It's true. Xu Wang didn't want to see Yan Qingdu's ability as he said, so he didn't tell him his plan about this matter. He didn't trust Yan Qingdu at all. Qingdu. He even deliberately used this incident to test his sincerity towards him. I heard that it was because Yan Qingdu once served as a Dragon Scale Guard."

Bai Qiwu's expression changed in an instant: "Dragon Scale Guard! Didn't it mean that if he entered the Dragon Scale Guard one day, he would still be the Dragon Scale Guard after death. How could he defect alive and live well?"

Bai Xiaofeng only said: "I don't know the specifics. But it can be explained. Xu Wang may therefore suspect that Yan Qing is an undercover agent of Longlinwei, which is why he has such a strange attitude towards him. Yan Qing even killed the head of the Cui family, so he can only rely on Xu Wang blesses him, but Xu Wang has doubts about him. His situation is undoubtedly very difficult, and this is the opportunity for us to cooperate with him."

The people around were gradually persuaded, and the voices and emotions of opposition were much less.

"What about the six doors? Why can't we cooperate with the six doors?" Bai Qiwu seemed to have been thinking about this idea for a long time, and finally said it.

Mu Tianhe immediately looked up.

Bai Xiaofeng's tone was calm, and he resolutely refused: "Impossible. Don't forget what the six doors are for. The person standing behind them may be Li Wangfu, but it is more likely to be the one above. In any case, they will not agree with our position. .Don’t forget how and why the adult who accompanied the mausoleum died.”

He paused: "Besides, Six Doors has always handled cases impartially, and never shows mercy outside the law. When we kill someone, they don't care about the reason, and they will definitely not let the murderer go."

Bai Qiwu glanced at Mu Tianhe, he was not there that day, all he knew was that it was Mu Tianhe who did the fighting.The patriarch is protecting Mu Tianhe.

He was silent and thoughtful.

The others have been persuaded by Bai Xiaofeng and agreed to contact Yan Qingdu, but they said that they must take precautions. Once he knows the secret and does something, they must try their best to keep him.

……

On July [-]th, it rained from morning to midnight.

Gu Yuexi sent people to monitor every move of the Mu family in Fengzhuang, especially Mu Tianhe's.

Not long after, it was heard that there was a conflict between the Yayu Guards of Yan Qingdu and the guards of Fengzhuang.

Only the Bai family is in charge of guarding the Fengzhuang. The Bai family and Yan Wujiu are logically at the command of Xu Wang at this moment, and the conflict between the two groups is equivalent to a fight in the nest.

"Do you know why?"

"It seems to be because, after King Xu left, Yan Qing was fighting with Bai Xiaofeng for power."

Gu Yuexi waved her hand to signal people to go down, and closed her eyes.

That person seemed to have been up all night last night, and he still had the leisure to fight for power and profit with others, really, something he would do.

"Watch people from a distance, don't call it serious."

Gu Yuexi's heart was a little flustered, he knew that time was running out, he should check the palm prints of the suspected Mu family Kaishan palm behind the corpse, and find out who the murderer was.

Find out what the deceased old priest of the Feng family did during his lifetime, and find out what connection he has with the suicides of the old Mu family head and the Gongshu family head.

What's more, there is also the witchcraft case file of the abolished prince. What is the reason for finding King Xu to prevent the opening of the accompanying tomb?

Just like Gu Yuexi didn't know that Yan Wujiu had found out about the Bai family and King Xu, Yan Wujiu also didn't know that the six doors of the Fengzhuang case had already locked their suspicious eyes on King Xu, just looking for There is no direct evidence.

If the two of them could cooperate sincerely and honestly, the truth of the matter might have been revealed to them long ago.

It is a pity that the positions are different and the purpose is different.From the very beginning, they were not friends, let alone trust each other.

Gu Yuexi's thoughts drifted to Yan Wujiu's sudden martial arts, to the mark on the back of Fenlian's neck when he parted in the bamboo forest in the morning, and even to the body of Fenlian, who he saw twice last night and this morning, with completely different temperaments.

In the end, it all came down to Yan Wujiu looking up at him through the corridors.

"What kind of person are you? What have you done?"

Gu Yuexi slightly lowered her bewildered brows, slowly returning to her previous indifferent and indifferent nature.

He got up, pushed open the door, walked out, and went straight to the courtyard where Zhuge Xiao recuperated.

"Zhuge, there is something I've always wanted to ask you. In Qingyuan County, when we were attacked by men in black who were suspected of burning lotus, what was in the trap you hastily designed? It was brought back from the Demon Gate of the Western Regions. Is Duo Yulin Bell Planting Gu?"

Zhuge Xiao was lying on the bed, his face was cold and pale, his brows were furrowed, he was holding a book of stories and read so intently that he didn't even notice that Gu Yuexi came in.

Hearing the words, he was startled for a moment, then returned to his senses with a little surprise, and closed the scriptures naturally, and placed them inside the bed.

"Why are you here, Ah Yue? What did you just say?"
