This shadow guard, you are enlightened

When Zhou Qiyou's name came out, both Xing Chenmu and Zhuo Ying were shocked, but they didn't show it. After introducing each other, they said a few words of courtesy, and then followed Xu Yunshan to Qiuguiyuan for a banquet.

It wasn't too early for them to arrive, the eight Immortals tables in the courtyard were already half full, but the main table at the front was still empty.

Xu Yunshan originally planned to arrange Yan Qing and the other four accompanying people at the rear, Zhuo Ying glanced at Ying Ba lightly, Ying Ba immediately understood, and said with a little apology: "When I came out, the master ordered me to take care of the two of you." Young master, I'll just eat some food after the banquet is over."

This is the rule of the big family, the attendants do not go to the table, Xu Yunshan also understood, nodded slightly and led them to the man in the main seat.

"Master, these two are Mr. Zhuo." As he spoke, he introduced Zhou Qiyou and the other two.

Huang Tianlun, the owner of Qiulu Mountain Villa, looks like he has just passed his forties, and his body is slightly fat. He is wearing a dark blue Chinese dress, and his hair is tied with a purple gold crown. With a kind smile.

Obviously, Xu Yunshan had already reported the identities of the guests one by one. He politely got up and greeted the four of them, and arranged for them to sit at the main table.

Later, two more people came to the table, they seemed to be old friends with Huang Tianlun, Xing Chenmu and others didn't ask any more questions.

When the people arrived, Huang Tianlun announced the opening of the banquet. Under Zhuo Ying's signal, Ying Ba and Ying Jiu did not dare to relax, and stood behind them to protect them, while Yan Qing and Xiao Ying stepped forward to prepare vegetables for them respectively. .

Because Huiyuan, who will take the exam this year, was present, Huang Tianlun talked with them about the imperial examination. Xing Chenmu listened and occasionally expressed some opinions, but he would not let his edge overshadow Zhou Qiyou.

Several people talked for a while, but the person next to Huang Tianlun saw that Zhuo Ying hadn't opened his mouth, so he turned his head and asked: "This young master must be the only master who defeated Jia Huyuan today, Yan is a little curious, I don't know who the young master studied under?"

"My teacher has long since retired, and I don't want to be mentioned by others. I hope this senior will forgive me." Zhuo Ying answered neither arrogantly nor humblely, and then took the initiative to raise his wine glass to respect the man.

The other party smiled and said "It's a pity", and also lifted the glass to drink up the wine in the glass, stroked his beard and stopped asking questions.

When listening to their chatting, Zhuo Ying would occasionally pick up some words, trying not to make herself appear too obtrusive.

After half a round of drinking, Huang Tianlun got up to greet other guests, Xing Chenmu took Zhuo Ying to leave and went back to the room after eating almost.

After the meal, although the host was very polite and considerate, but for some reason, Zhuo Ying always had a faint uneasiness in his heart, and it didn't dissipate until he returned to the Xigui Courtyard where he lived.

It was getting late, and Zhuo Ying didn't use the maid in the yard, so she asked Yan Qing to fetch water, washed up with Xing Chenmu, and went to bed early, thinking about getting up early tomorrow, and leaving immediately after enjoying the osmanthus.

After one night, Xing Chenmu also felt Zhuo Ying's emotions, he put his arms around him on the bed and asked, "What's wrong? You still think there is something wrong with this villa?"

"Well, I always feel that both the owner and his two old friends are weird." Zhuo Ying rolled over in Xing Chenmu's arms and looked out the window, "Besides, Mu'er doesn't think that for For an ordinary villa, is there an abnormally large number of nurses in the villa?"

There are many people who come to visit and want to make friends with the owner of the villa, but only a few dozen can actually enter, not to mention that most of them are mainly literati, so there is no great risk at all.

But when I went to Qiuguiyuan just now, there were nursing homes guarding along the road. It is roughly estimated that there should be more than a hundred nursing homes in the entire village.

"Indeed, but if there is something wrong with this villa, I'd rather stay and see what's going on." Xing Chenmu said thoughtfully.

"If Mu'er wants to know, you can find someone to investigate after returning to the palace, and you must not put yourself in danger."

"Okay, I know, I won't worry our A Ying anymore." Xing Chenmu kissed the back of his neck, suddenly remembered something, and said, "But I didn't expect to meet Zhou Qiyou here in advance. Problem, let’s find a way to remind him when we leave.”

Zhou Qiyou is a descendant of the Zhou family, he is upright, capable of both civil and military skills, and he helped Xing Chenmu find out the matter between Ning Yuan and those two elder brothers before, he is a talent that Xing Chenmu plans to reuse.

Zhuo Ying replied: "Okay, let Ying Ba send him a message when we leave."

After talking about the business, Xing Chenmu reached out and patted Zhuo Ying's back, coaxing him, "Don't think so much, go to sleep first."

Around midnight, Zhuo Ying, who was sleeping, suddenly heard a "click" from the roof, like the sound of cotton boots stepping on tiles.

He immediately sat up and drew out the long sword hanging beside the bed, but he didn't chase it out. After all, protecting Xing Chenmu was obviously more important than chasing the unknown person on the roof.

The movement of the person in his arms made Xing Chenmu wake up slowly, and asked a little confusedly: "What's wrong?"

"Someone passed by on the roof." Zhuo Ying explained in a low voice.

Just as he was talking, another soft sound came from the top, the sound was consistent with the direction of the person just now, Zhuo Ying guessed that it was Ying Ba or Ying Jiu who followed, and soon Ying Jiu's voice came from the other side of the window : "You two young masters, are you all right?"

In addition to them, there were maidservants and the two tributes living in the courtyard, so Zhuo Ying walked around cautiously to the back.

"It's okay, you go and help Yingba, he may not be able to beat that person."

"Yes." Ying Jiu took the lead and jumped onto the roof.

Xing Chenmu raised his eyebrows: "A Ying knows who it is?"

"It's just a guess, but it should be confirmed in a while." Zhuo Ying took advantage of this moment to put on the mask first.

The two waited for a cup of tea before Ying Ba Ying Jiu pushed the man in night clothes into the door. Zhuo Ying looked up and saw that the other party was none other than Jia Tianlei who was fighting him on the stage during the day.

Zhuo Ying got off the bed, stepped forward and asked, "Aren't you hurt?"

"No, but this man is really strong in martial arts. If you hadn't asked Ying Jiu to help me, he would have escaped." Ying Ba curled his lips, looking somewhat frustrated. As a member of the Cloud Shadow Guard, facing such a A villa guard, he didn't have the upper hand, it's really a joke to say it.

"You don't have to worry about it." Zhuo Ying smiled, "Brother Jia's ability was even higher than mine back then, so you won't be wronged if you lost to him."

Hearing Zhuo Ying mention her elder brother again, and hearing the other party call the person she had fought with just now as "Ying Jiu", Jia Tianlei raised his head and said in shock, "You... who are you?"

Zhuo Ying signaled the two to let him go: "My surname is Zhuo, can't you guess my identity?"

"How is it possible..." The surname is Zhuo, he knows his elder brother and has such skills, the answer is ready to come out, but Jia Tianlei just stared wide-eyed and dared not speak for a long time.

At this time Xing Chenmu also got out of bed, went behind Zhuo Ying to put on his robe, a little unhappy: "Don't catch a cold."

Zhuo Ying turned around and smiled at him, took his hand and sat down on the chair together, then said to Jia Tianlei: "Tell me, why are you working as a small nursing home in this villa, and where are you planning to go at night? "

Jia Tianlei looked up at Zhuo Ying, seemed to have struggled for a long time, bit his lips and asked: "It is said that Master Zhuo never shows his true face to others, you...how do you prove that you are that Master Zhuo?"

"I don't need to prove my identity. No matter who you think I am, I will find out what I want to know. As for you, if you don't want to say it now, just wait until I hand you over to Master Huang tomorrow." Zhuo The shadowy eyes turned cold, and in such an autumn night, it made people feel cold all over.

"Don't..." Jia Tianlei was young, he became nervous when he heard this, and after a long while, he lowered his head as if resigned to his fate, "I said."

According to what Jia Tianlei said, one of his friends disappeared after he came to Qiulu Mountain Villa, and that is why he came here to investigate.

That friend was named Yan Wei. Before going to Qiulu Mountain Villa, he was imprisoned by his parents because he wanted to stay with a young man for life. However, Yan Wei was also a martial artist. The family escaped. Unexpectedly, a few days later, his parents found him, and their attitude changed drastically. They not only expressed their willingness to accept the person he loved, but also asked him to bring him home to live with him.

Although Yan Wei felt something strange in his heart, he still had a sliver of hope, and took the man home. After that, the young man spent a warm time at their house, but Jia Tianlei finally got the news of Yan Wei, It was in the late autumn of last year that Yan Wei told him that his parents planned to take them to Qiuyue Mountain Villa to appreciate the osmanthus.

But when Jia Tianlei went to Yan's mansion again a few months later, Yan's father and mother said that Yan Wei had gone out with the young man but hadn't returned, and when they asked them carefully, they began to be vague.

The disgust revealed in the words of Yan's father and Yan's mother made Jia Tianlei realize that there must be something strange about this matter. He once heard Yan Wei say that his father and the owner of Huang Zhuang in Qiulu Mountain Villa were best friends. In order to find out the truth about Yan Wei's disappearance , Jia Tianlei sneaked into the villa to act as a guard.

After he entered the villa, he felt more and more that the villa hides many secrets. For example, it was rumored that the young owner disappeared mysteriously a few years ago, but the owner did not feel anxious or intend to find the young owner at all.

For another example, although Huang Tianlun loves to make friends on the surface, except for the season of appreciating osmanthus, there are only a few friends who often come to the village as guests on weekdays, and these few people all have a common characteristic-someone in the family is very masculine.

Jia Tianlei suspected that Huang Tianlun had set up a dark prison in this villa to detain those who were sent by his family and had a habit of Longyang, but because of the involvement of his family, he could not report his disappearance to the government, so no one knew about it.

What Jia Tianlei said was in line with Zhuo Ying's doubts today, and he seemed to suddenly understand why Huang Tianlun only let them sit at the main table today, probably because he saw them coming in twos and had suspicions in his heart.

"Then what did you want to do just now?" It was Xing Chenmu who spoke this time.

"One of the people who dined at the same table with you today is Yan Wei's father. I wanted to go and see what he was doing at night, whether he would meet with Huang Tianlun and others, or go to see Yan Wei."

But Zhuo Ying shook his head and said: "There are more than a hundred guards in the villa, even if they are really going to hide people, it is too risky for you to follow, let alone what if you find the place? It is impossible to bring them all by yourself go out."

"Then what should we do?" Yan Wei had been missing for a year, and Jia Tianlei had no choice but to make such a bad move.

Zhuo Ying pondered for a moment, and said: "There is no rush, you go back first, let's think about how to deal with it."

"You...will you really care about this?" Jia Tianlei couldn't confirm Zhuo Ying's identity, but he was still afraid of him, so he glanced at him and Xing Chenmu cautiously.

Xing Chenmu's answer was to directly pull Zhuo Ying to sit on his lap, and after the two exchanged a tacit understanding of kisses, he said coldly: "We will take care of this."
