Lu Xiaofeng was dragged to death by Lin Qi.The reason why he used the word procrastination was because Lin Qi seemed to know Lu Xiaofeng's unstoppable character, after saying the word "waiting", he bent down and handcuffed him and Lu Xiaofeng together.

Along the Qinhuai River, the mountains and rivers are drunk.

Lu Xiaofeng and Lin Qi sat face to face, looked down at the black iron shackles on their feet, and had nothing to say: "Why is this so?"

Lin Qi said solemnly: "The Holy Majesty told me that you will not be allowed to go out for a day before the national teacher and the son arrive."

Lu Xiaofeng was puzzled: "Why is this? Why is the shadow person behind this case so frightening to the Holy Majesty? Since the Holy Majesty knows who it is, why didn't he just tell me?" He shook his feet, and the iron chain rattled. , "Also, why do I have to wait for the National Teacher and the Ninth Young Master to arrive before I can go out?"

Lu Xiaofeng paused for a moment: "No, it should be said, why can I go out as soon as the National Teacher and the Ninth Young Master arrive? Could it be that the shadow man behind will show mercy to us when he sees the National Teacher and the Ninth Young Master?"

Lin Qi looked at Lu Xiaofeng in confusion, and he didn't know the answer to this question: "Isn't it? Your Majesty probably..." He simply thought that you might not be able to defeat the murderer alone.

As soon as the words started, Lin Qi quickly swallowed them back, and said tactfully: "Your Majesty probably just thinks that it is not safe for you to handle the case alone, and you are just afraid of any accidents."

Lin Qi's words were euphemistic, but it's not like Lu Xiaofeng couldn't understand the meaning hidden in it.He cupped his heart and said, "I still have some ability to protect myself." He paused, raised his head, and felt even worse, "Besides, if even His Majesty thinks that I can't beat the shadow man behind me, then this time I'm afraid the case is really difficult!"

Lin Qi moved the bench to Lu Xiaofeng's side: "Daxia Lu, the Holy Majesty knows that the matter of the shadow man is really embarrassing for you. But this matter concerns the country and society of the Song Dynasty. Sitting in the imperial court, he is not allowed to leave Bianjing at will, otherwise, he will definitely not cheat others on this matter."

Lu Xiaofeng let out a long sigh: "I know! I'm just a little bit annoyed."

Lin Qi whispered: "The Holy Majesty isn't it?" He was silent for a while, then said to Lu Xiaofeng, "The Holy Majesty really trusts Lu Daxia so much, that's why he entrusted this matter to you. And as soon as the Holy Majesty knew about the Qinhuaihe case Behind, there might be danger, so I was sent here immediately, and I was asked to ensure your safety first, and then handle the case. Your Majesty is not someone who will casually sacrifice other people's lives for the sake of the country."

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head: "Of course I understand His Majesty's protection. Besides, even if it's not for the sake of the country, I, Lu Xiaofeng, am obliged to do so for my friends. Your Majesty can pardon Ye City Lord's crime of treason, and is even willing to let Ye City Lord After recuperating and regulating breath, I returned to the South China Sea openly and justifiably, and regained control of Baiyun City, for this alone, I, Lu Xiaofeng, should also be grateful for Your Majesty's tolerance."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and stroked his beard, as if he had found a different kind of fun from the fact that Ye Gucheng was about to return to the South China Sea: "It's because this imperial decree to appoint Yecheng Lord came to Wanmei Villa, Ximen might want to Enough to be pissed off."

He thought about it, and couldn't help laughing out loud!

Let Ximen chase and kill him for seven days and seven nights!Ha ha!When I returned to Wanmei Villa, I found that City Lord Ye was already packing his luggage and preparing to go to the South China Sea. I don't know what Ximen's mood is!Seven days of precious time spent together were wasted in vain!

Lu Xiaofeng took pleasure in other people's misfortunes, originally he was too worried to sleep, all he wanted to do was go to the government office and wait for the body to arrive, so that he could solve the case quickly, now he is not in a hurry.He threw himself on the bed, closed his eyes and rested.

Ha ha ha ha!Simon!

Lu Xiaofeng also laughed happily in his dream.

When Mo Qi and Gong Jiu arrived in Jinling, when they saw Lu Xiaofeng, who had fallen into a drunken state by the Qinhuai River, the other party was lying on the bed, drinking a jug of wine.

Lin Qi on the side looked at her with bright eyes, excited, and kept applauding for Lu Xiaofeng.

Because Lu Xiaofeng didn't drink with the wine, but lying on the bed, sucking it with internal force, the wine was sucked out from the jug, drew an arc in the air, and fell into Lu Xiaofeng's mouth.After finishing a pot of wine, Lu Xiaofeng lay on the bed without moving, his arms and legs were buried under the quilt, he was surprisingly lazy.

He naturally heard the sound of Mo Qi and Gong Jiu pushing the door and entering, and after drinking the last sip of wine, he couldn't wait to jump up from the bed: "You are finally here!"

"Hero Lu?" Mo Qi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lin Qi, "I thought only Mr. Lin Qi was there."

Lin Qi greeted Mo Qi and Gong Jiu, and said, "Actually, Your Majesty has entrusted the investigation of this case to Daxia Lu almost half a month ago. It's just...a day ago, Your Majesty suddenly discovered an omission, so he thought about it." Please ask the national teacher and the ninth son to help."

"What omission?" Lu Xiaofeng asked suspiciously.

Lin Qi said to Lu Xiaofeng: "Do you still remember the second deceased in this case?"

Lu Xiaofeng nodded: "Remember, he is a businessman. And he is a very rich businessman. He has a hand in most of the business transactions on the Qinhuai River. It can almost be said that he controls the lifeblood of most businesses on the Qinhuai River. I remember When His Majesty handed over the case to me, he said that it was because of this businessman that he noticed the case."

Lin Qi scratched his face: "Actually...it's not because he is too rich that I noticed it, but because...this businessman is actually a secret line that His Majesty planted in Qinhuai."

Lu Xiaofeng opened his mouth: "..."

Lin Qi continued: "In the beginning, His Majesty just thought that this matter was not trivial, and it seemed to be related to the shadow man, so he asked Lu Daxia to handle this case. However, two days ago, His Majesty and Dongfang Hierarch talked about it in a letter. When I was thinking about this matter, I suddenly remembered an important thing."

"This hidden line seems to be just an ordinary person, but he is actually the commander of the hidden guard who once served His Majesty. If he is unable to resist the murderer with his force, then even if he confronts the murderer, he will not be able to please him. So Your Majesty As soon as you think of this problem, immediately send me to look for Lu Daxia, be sure to hold Lu Daxia, and wait until the national teacher and the son come, and then continue to investigate the case."

Lu Xiaofeng fell silent.

He frowned tightly, and no longer clarified that he had the power to protect himself.

Mo Qi whispered: "What?"

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head, his face was not very good-looking: "If you have seen the corpse, you will know what happened to me."

·

·

In the serial murders that occurred on the Qinhuai River this time, the bodies of the deceased had already been sent to the Jinling government office.The former Wang Zhifu of Jinling was sentenced to death because he colluded with Qingniao, Liu Wumei, the murderer in the Dengxian case, and traded poppy poison.

The new magistrate is Bao Xiang's disciple, and he acts vigorously and resolutely.When Lu Xiaofeng arrived with Mo Qi and Gong Jiu, the deceased who died on the sparking ship the night before had already been sent to the government office's morgue filled with ice, and the autopsy began.

The smell of burnt meat is very unpleasant, especially when you know that the meat is from a human body, the psychological nausea is more difficult to suppress than the taste nausea.

Gong Jiu stood far away, not because he felt that he couldn't stand the smell of burnt meat, but mainly because he was afraid that the white fur on his body would get this disgusting smell.

Mo Qi glanced at Gong Jiu who seemed to cherish the pearl sable fur he gave him, and walked to the side of the corpse with a blank expression.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "This case has lasted until yesterday, and seven people have died. Most of them are officials of Jinling, and some wealthy businessmen."

"The fatal injuries of these people are all knife wounds. Moreover, they are not the long knives commonly used by people in the Jianghu, but the small short knives used by ordinary people to cut the peel of fruit."

Mo Qi pondered: "What's so special about the knife marks?"

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head: "The only special thing is that it has nothing special. Anyone can go to a blacksmith shop to buy one, and any blacksmith shop can buy this kind of knife. There is no way to buy it from a murder weapon. Find out who did it."

"Shadow people generally don't kill people directly, and it's such a big case. I didn't think about it, could this be done by ordinary people?" Mo Qi asked after examining the knife wound on the chest of the second corpse.

Lin Qi stared: "How is it possible? Didn't I say it earlier? The second deceased was the commander of the hidden guards in front of the Holy Majesty! How could ordinary people kill him so casually with a knife?"

The movements of Mo Qi's hands paused, and then stepped aside a little: "But the person with the bayonet is indeed a person who has no internal strength and no martial arts."

Lu Xiaofeng followed to see: "Why?"

Mo Qi pointed out the wound to Lu Xiaofeng: "Look at his wound. If it's like what Eunuch Lin Qi said, like what the Holy One guessed...then the murderer's martial arts can make the deceased unable to resist, so why did he insert the wound? This knife, will it be crooked? And you can see that the incision of the wound clearly paused after stabbing in, and then continued to stab in." Mo Qi said while gesticulating with the murderer's sword with his bare hands.

Lu Xiaofeng took a closer look: "It's really like this... The shallow wounds are not sharp enough, but the deep wounds are decisive. It seems that he hesitated to kill him at first, and after hesitating for a while, he finally made up his mind to kill him. .”

"Besides, the wound is indeed not deep. If someone with internal strength comes to stab this wound, it must be more than this shallow."

Gong Jiu said disgustedly: "When you came to see this case, didn't you examine the corpse?"

Lu Xiaofeng was helpless: "I didn't see this corpse at the time."

Lin Qi said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, uh, when the corpse died, it was sent back to Bianjing first, and the people from the Anbu inspected it before sending it back. When it was sent back, Daxia Lu happened to be with the owner of Ximen Villa. There was a dispute, so it was missed."

Lu Xiaofeng spread his hands: "I saw only three corpses at the time, the first deceased, and the third and fourth corpses. I have examined the wounds on these three corpses, but where are they? This second corpse is wonderful."

He walked up to the first corpse, pointed to the trauma on the corpse and said: "Actually, when I saw the first corpse, I was indeed the same as Daoxian, thinking that it should be done by someone who doesn't know martial arts."

"These bruises, as well as impact injuries with various marks, are not fatal, and the scars are very shallow, as if someone grabbed something casually during a fight and left it from the impact."

Mo Qi said: "It is possible that someone had a fierce dispute with the deceased, and in the end, in a fit of anger, he killed the deceased with a knife."

Lu Xiaofeng went to the third corpse again: "Why did I feel that the murderer may not be an ordinary person anymore? It's because from this corpse, the only wound left by the murderer on the dead body was the one on the chest. This one. And it was straightforward, without any hesitation."

"Actually, I said that the third deceased and the fourth deceased were not accurate. The bodies of the two of them were discovered at the same time. According to the interrogation of their relatives later, the two of them made an appointment to go out together before they disappeared. Talking about things, that is to say, they should have been killed by the murderer together."

"It stands to reason that if the murderer is an ordinary person, no matter how fast he is, when dealing with one of them, the other can easily escape or attack him from behind. Dealing with two people at the same time, and both A man in his prime, I think it is not easy for ordinary people to do it."

"Look at these two corpses, there are no external wounds on their bodies, and there are no traces of bondage. If the murderer is an ordinary person, how did he manage to fight one against two, and kill these two free-handed people at the same time? where?"

Mo Qi couldn't help looking at Lu Xiaofeng who analyzed deeply: "Maybe he has accomplices."

Lu Xiaofeng, who accidentally got into the corner of the horn, suddenly got stuck: "..." He stared in shock for a while, thought carefully, and finally found another doubtful point, "But how to explain the second corpse?"

"If there is no one with superb martial arts to suppress the second deceased, how could an ordinary person stab a knife into the chest of a dark guard commander so easily? There is still time to hesitate, should we kill him with ruthless hands?"

Mo Qi pondered: "...you are right. This is really strange. Could it be that he was drugged?"

Lin Qidao: "That's even more impossible. The original job of the hidden guards is to protect His Majesty's safety. Their duties include not only dealing with rebels who intend to assassinate His Majesty, but also guarding against the possibility of poisoning. Every hidden guard is Those who have been trained, with their vigilance, it is impossible for them to be drugged, let alone this is the leader of the hidden guard."

"Unless he was cut by a poisoned weapon, there is no possibility of being drugged. But you have also seen that there is no wound on his body, so how could he be drugged?"

Gong Jiu stood at a distance and said in a cold voice: "I want to know more, how can you be sure that these people were all killed by the same murderer? Didn't Lu Xiaofeng just say that the murder weapon that caused their fatal injuries was nothing but the murderer on the street?" A small knife that can be bought casually in a blacksmith shop. Maybe it was not killed by the same person, or maybe it was a copycat?"

Lu Xiaofeng looked at Gong Jiu: "I'm sure that these dead were all killed by one person, not because of the wounds on their bodies, but because before these dead people died—or before these dead bodies were found, someone heard a song People on the Qinhuai River said that this song was sung by the ghost of the former merchant woman who died on the Qinhuai River, and these people were also killed by the ghost of the merchant woman, so they were able to kill these people so easily die."

Lin Qi couldn't help shivering.He was most afraid of such spooky things, and he felt horrified when he heard them.

Gong Jiu sneered: "Nonsense! Do ghosts still use knives to kill people?"

Lu Xiaofeng clapped his hands and said: "That's right, that's the reason! But this song has always been heard in the middle of the night, and people were killed at night. It was passed around, but no murderer was found. It’s only natural to weave a horrific story like this.”

"Oh, that's right. Ten days ago, I went to Ximen for help on another case, but I was delayed for seven days, and then I had to clean up the previous case. It was delayed until yesterday, when I was free. When I came back, I was going to stay on the Qinhuai River to see if there would be a murderer, and I didn't even have time to see the new corpse."

Mo Qi: "Then have you met?"

Lu Xiaofeng sighed: "It was a coincidence, but it was a dead person, and the murderer was no longer at the scene. I guess the murderer left some traps before leaving the flower boat. It will explode at a certain time planned by the murderer, attracting everyone's attention. But in fact, at the time of the explosion, the two dead people on board had already died thoroughly."

The coroner of the autopsy came over, greeted everyone one by one, and then said: "Since Mr. Lu left and until yesterday, only one person died on the Qinhuai River."

Mo Qi asked, "When did you die?"

Wu Zuo said: "He died ten days ago. He was also wounded by a short knife, which was fatal and wounded in the chest. However, this deceased had other wounds besides the fatal wound."

Lu Xiaofeng turned his head suddenly: "What? What kind of wound?"

Wu Zuo said, "It's a whip."

Mo Qi asked: "Is it left before death, or after death?"

Wu Zuo said: "There are both before and after death."

Gong Jiu raised her eyebrows: "All of them? It seems that the murderer wanted to vent his personal anger by killing this person. I don't know what heinous thing the deceased did before he was alive."

Lu Xiaofeng said in a deep voice: "This is good news, this is a very important clue! Who is this deceased person? Has the magistrate checked, who did he have feud with?"

"The deceased was an ordinary civil servant in Jinling." Wu Zuo said, "As for who he had an enmity with, that's something that a villain can't know. The job of a villain is only in this morgue. If you want to know Other details need to be discussed in detail with the prefect.”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "No hurry, no hurry! Tell me first, what happened to the corpse last night?"

Wu Zuo said: "Same as before, the chest was fatally wounded, and the murder weapon was an ordinary short knife. However, it is impossible to tell if there is any trauma on the body, because it has been burnt, and the flesh is scorched. Even if it was whipped before death, it cannot be seen. What's coming out?"

Mo Qi said: "Whether there is trauma or not, there must be a special reason for the murderer to choose to burn the bodies of these two people. This is also a clue that can be investigated."

"What I want to know more is, why did the murderer kill these two people?" Gong Jiu narrowed his eyes, "If it is said that the shadow man is behind this, or the murderer is the shadow man, then what good is it for them to kill these people? What is the connection between people?"

"If it wasn't the shadow people, then why did the murderer kill these people? What kind of enmity did he have with these dead people? What do so many dead people have in common?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "I don't know about the people in the back, but for the two businessmen who died, I remember that everything in their house was swept away." His eyes lit up, and he caught a new one who could prove himself. Evidence of speculation, "That's right! The things in their house can be emptied overnight. This is definitely not something ordinary people can do, right?"

Lin Qi guessed: "It is also possible that there are people who covet their wealth and cooperate with the people in their house?"

"..." Lu Xiaofeng said speechlessly, "The one who said earlier that the murderer must be a martial arts master, I remember it seems to be you."

Lin Qi argued: "It's not me, it's His Majesty! His Majesty said that the murderer is likely to be a martial arts master, and this case has something to do with the shadow man."

Mo Qi sensitively grasped the key point of Lin Qi's words: "How did His Majesty determine that this case is related to the shadow man?"

Lin Qi said anxiously, "Because the only unsolved case in Jinling is this one."

"In such an important place as Jinling, there is so much oil and water to be fished, how could the shadow people not send people to station there! Now the shadow people in various places in the Song Dynasty have been uprooted, and the monitoring and monitoring have basically grasped their whereabouts. Only the shadow man stationed here in Jinling has never shown up. This midnight singing case is the only case that may be related to the shadow man..."

Lu Xiaofeng's brows drooped: "The singing in the middle of the night... I think of someone who has something to do with the singing in the middle of the night. But no matter how I think about it, it's not like she can have such a high level of martial arts, and she can control the commander of the dark guards to nothing. Fight back!"

Lin Qi asked curiously, "Who is it?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Her name is Shangguan Feiyan."

Mo Qi's expression was somewhere between "Who is Shangguan Feiyan" and "Should I ask?"

Gong Jiu had already walked to Mo Qi's side at some point, now she leaned over and said in a low voice, "It's the woman Hua Manlou once fell in love with, and Lu Xiaofeng slept with her."

Lu Xiaofeng froze: "Ninth Young Master, what do you say..."

Doesn't it seem that Lu Xiaofeng is very sorry for his friend? !

Gong Jiu said coldly: "Where did I say something wrong?"

Lu Xiaofeng smiled wryly: "That's right, that's right..." He paused for a moment, feeling that he and Hua Manlou had to be named, "But Qitong and I didn't know they were the same person at the time!"

Gong Jiu ignored Lu Xiaofeng, and continued to whisper to Mo Qi: "She took great pains for the treasure of the Dapeng Golden Dynasty, but then half of the treasure was taken away by my people, and the other half was cut off by that person from Bianjing." gone."

Lu Xiaofeng: "..."

It was precisely because of all the calculations by the authorities that he missed Qingqing's order and gave the king... and the ninth son a wedding dress for nothing.

As soon as everyone came out of the morgue, they rushed to the magistrate's office without stopping.The new magistrate of Jinling happens to also have the surname Bao, and he is also quite dark and fat. It is said that it is because the prefect's favorite thing to do is to bask in the sun, read books and eat various delicacies.

When everyone came to the magistrate's office, the new magistrate was sitting in the courtyard secretly gnawing on a big oily hoof, his mouth glistened with oil, and all the books were put aside.Obviously, the book of sages and sages is not as attractive as the big oil hoof.

There were two big oily trotters on the plate in his hand, and when he saw Mo Qi and others coming, he generously expressed that he could share them with everyone.

"No, the top priority right now should be to find the murderer of this case!" Lu Xiaofeng said righteously, reaching out and took one, sitting side by side with Bao Zhifu, gnawing hooves at the same time, "We came here to... Baji...ask that official with...baji...baji...whip marks on his body, does he have any...baji...baji...enemies?"

Prefect Bao had already gnawed the remaining hoof with lightning speed, and while wiping his hands slowly, he said: "No. When I saw his body, I thought it must be related to the deceased. It was done by a person with a personal enmity, so the first thing to do is to talk to his relatives and friends. They all said that this person is introverted and timid, not easy to argue with others, and it is even more difficult to make enemies with others."

Lu Xiaofeng put down the hoof in his hand solemnly: "If that's the case, then why did the murderer hate him so much? So much so that the whipping was not enough at the beginning, but he still had to kill him; killing him was not enough, and he had to continue whipping the corpse after death. What kind of hatred, what kind of anger, would make the murderer do this?"

And what is even more troublesome is, what does all these cases have to do with the shadow man?

Is it just for the treasures of those two rich merchants?If that's the case, why are so many officials killed?You must know that among the seven people who died on the Qinhuai River so far, only two were businessmen, and the rest were poor civil servants.Killing them would do no good to the Shadow People except to make the case more compelling.

Lu Xiaofeng said again: "Then what about those two people who died yesterday? Do they have any enemies?"

Governor Bao sighed: "Yes, but they are not so ruthless killers. At most, they are some neighborhood disputes between the boss and the Li family. Those two people are well-known in the mansion, and they are very smooth. , it is basically unlikely to have any conflicts with people.”

"That's really weird, where did the murderer have such animosity with them?" Lu Xiaofeng's head felt like it hurt.

"Besides, why does there have to be a singing voice every time a strike is made? Is this song sung by the murderer... or did someone want to remind him that the murderer is committing murder, so he sang it?" Mo Qi pondered.

Lin Qi was so sad that he didn't dare to speak.He secretly shrunk himself down a little bit, feeling that the wind in Jinling chilled his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys: This case is too infiltrating!

Bao Zhifu said: "Currently, the lower officials have not discovered any connection between these dead people, nor have they noticed any connection between these people... except that they all died on the Qinhuai River."

Gong Jiu's gaze turned: "They all died on the Qinhuai River? What do you mean?"

Bao Zhifu said: "These people all died on the boat. It was either a flower boat or a boat. In short, they all died on the boat, floating in the Qinhuai River."

"Could it be that the murderer randomly searched for targets on the Qinhuai River?" Lu Xiaofeng felt very distressed, "If this is the case, it will be even more difficult to find out the identity of the murderer!"

Mo Qi pondered for a moment: "But there is at least one thing we can find out."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "What's the matter?"

Mo Qi said: "Does the killer have anything to do with the shadow man?"

Lu Xiaofeng's eyes lit up: "How to check?"

Mo Qi said: "Interrogate those two people in the rich merchant's government office. If this case has nothing to do with the shadow man, then there must be a traitor in the government office, and they cooperated with outsiders and smuggled away the treasure. On the other hand, If there is no internal response in the mansion, then the case must be related to the shadow man, because only the shadow man can remove the treasures in the mansion without cooperating with the mansion and not disturbing the man."

Gong Jiu's eyes also brightened: "I can help."

In the "Lian Hua Treasure Book" left to him by Wang Lianhua, the first thing Gong Jiu practiced was the art of capturing the mind.Although there is not much time left, what he has to deal with are ordinary people in the rich merchant's government office. With his current level, it is enough.

Wanmei Villa.

Ximen Chuuxue stood behind Ye Gucheng, pursed his lips tightly, only looked at Ye Gucheng, but did not speak.

The old butler was helpless: "Villa Master, Ye City Master's carriage is already waiting outside the villa."

Everyone is leaving, the carriages are ready, so why are you so stubborn, owner?well!

Ye Gucheng said: "I thought that I would never have the chance to step into the South China Sea in this life, let alone set foot in Baiyun City. But the Holy One is merciful, not only forgiving the crime of treason in Baiyun City, but now also forgiving me for the crime of assassination. I am already innocent, so I should return to Baiyun City and bear the responsibilities I should bear."

Ximen Chuuxue didn't speak, but his expression turned colder, and he even closed the door tightly.

The old butler was about to sigh.

Ye Gucheng didn't know what to say to Ximen Chuuxue, he and Ximen Chuuxue had just made up their minds, and they were about to separate, and he felt very reluctant.But he must not say this reluctance, because he knows that if he indulges himself, he will not want to say goodbye, then it is really impossible for him to leave Wanmei Villa again.

But he had to leave, because everyone in Baiyun City, from the city lord's mansion to the people on the island, was waiting for him to go back.Baiyun City has been in chaos for so long. Originally, he could not step into Baiyun City because he was a sinner, so as not to cause trouble for Baiyun City.But now he is no longer, so he can no longer let Baiyun City continue to be in such a mess.

That's his city, his people.

Outside the window, there are bursts of cold plum fragrance, and inside the window, there is warm and familiar sandalwood.Ye Gucheng held the sword in his hand: "I should go."

Ximen Chuuxue stood there for a while.

Just when the old housekeeper thought that his owner was going to block the door for the rest of his life, Ximen Chuuxue suddenly stepped aside.

Ximen Chuuxue looked at the surprised Ye Gucheng: "You should go. The carriage is just outside the village."

Ye Gucheng pursed his lips, said nothing, stepped out of the room, and left without looking back.

The road is high and the road is long, he will go back to his own city, maybe when everything settles down, he can invite Ximen Chuuxue to his city as a guest.After he has taken care of everything, maybe he can also spare some time to come to Wanmei Villa to meet Ximen Chuuxue, discuss swords, drink, and admire plum blossoms.

Ye Gucheng stepped into the carriage, and with the shout of the groom and the sound of the whip, the carriage began to drive towards the South China Sea.

The old housekeeper looked at the owner who was still standing in front of the door, looking at Ye Gucheng's leaving direction, and almost cried in distress: "Master, let the old slave prepare a plate of plum cake for you!"

Ximen Chuuxue: "Ten dishes."

The old butler: "..."

The old butler suspected that he was old and misheard: "What?"

"Ten dishes, bring the carriage." Ximen Chuuxue turned back to the house: "Prepare the carriage and luggage, I will also go to the South China Sea."

The old housekeeper: "...The owner, you have gone out three times this year..."

And, it's only February!

Without looking back, Ximen Chuuxue started to pack his things: "This time it's not considered going out."

From your own home to your partner's home, does that count as going out?of course not!He's not going out, he's going home!

The old butler: "..."
