Daoist, I am not fragrant!

When Zhong Tang and Li Bizhi left the Golden Crow Temple and went to Duanwang Mansion, the sky was only about to dark, and the vendors on both sides of the street were raising lanterns one after another, still busily hawking.

Zhong Tang sat on the carriage, stretched out his hand to open the small window, looked at the lights and pedestrians by the side of the road, but his eyes were a little empty.

"What?" Li Bizhi sat beside him, and slightly gathered up the vermilion sleeves that slowly slipped down his forearm, blocking the coolness of the autumn evening.

Zhong Tang was not as talkative as usual, took Li Bizhi's hand, placed it between his chin and the car window grille, and said softly: "Brother, do you think this time's matter will really be a problem?" Did you send it?"

Li Bizhi didn't answer, his palm was wrapped around Zhong Tang's chin, and with a slight movement of his fingertips, he could just touch Zhong Tang's side face.

Zhong Tang didn't expect to get any answers, so he went on talking alone: ​​"If he really did it, how will he be dealt with?"

Is it sent to the court to give Xili an explanation in public?Or hand it over to Jinwu and Taiyuan, and treat it as a monster?Or simply...

But Zhong Tang knew that none of these endings was what A Ji wanted, but even if these things hadn't happened, A Ji still couldn't get what he wanted most.

Outside the window of the carriage, the high and low lanterns of the small stalls were blown by the night wind, and the sky turned dark after all.

"Don't think so much," Li Bizhi lifted Zhong Tang from the car window with a little force, and hugged him to his side: "

This matter is undecided, so it may not be him. "

Zhong Tang lowered his eyes, the matter has come to this point, how many possibilities are there left that it wasn't A Ji's doing.

But then, he heard Li Bizhi say: "He has protected you."

"As long as it doesn't hurt other people's lives this time, I will pay him back."

Zhong Tang was taken aback for a moment, knowing that Li Bizhi was referring to the time he was manipulated by the golden thread to break into Duanwang's mansion, but then he smiled knowingly, rubbed his shoulders to Li Bizhi and said, "Then thank you, brother, for repaying my debt. ..."

Not long after, the carriage stopped in front of the Duanwang Mansion. Li Bizhi stepped out of the carriage first, and when he turned around and extended his hand to Zhong Tang, his eyes inadvertently looked at the northwest sky——

"Senior Brother, Senior Brother?" Zhong Tang had already held Li Bizhi's extended hand, and when he was about to use his strength to jump down, he realized that Li Bizhi was in a daze.

He was about to call out a few more times and jump to the other party's side, but he didn't want Li Bizhi to look back at him again, with eyes that were always indifferent, showing that Tang Tang couldn't understand for a few minutes.

"What happened?" Zhong Tang lowered his head and asked with some uncertainty, his eyes sizing up Li Bizhi's expression.

After what seemed like a long time, Li Bizhi shook his head, and then with a sudden force in his hands, he pulled Zhong Tang into his arms, hugged his thin body tightly, and let the vermilion clothes flutter in the wind.

Zhong Tang was eager to know what was going on, but every time he wanted to withdraw from Li Bizhi's embrace, Li Bizhi would hug him even tighter.

Even the shackles under his feet began to make a loud noise.

But Li Bizhi still didn't intend to let go, and Zhong Tang could only lean on his chest, sniffing the cool sandalwood in his lapel.

In fact, this is also very good, Zhong Tang thought helplessly, if he was not worried about what Li Bizhi was doing, Zhong Tang would have been somewhat immersed in this embrace.

On the bustling streets, under the shadow of the lights shaken by the wind, in the slowly falling night.

All the complicated things seem to be far away from them, becoming illusory and faded, only each other's embrace is the real warmth.

Perhaps... Many years ago, in the desert of Xili, they hugged and warmed each other like this, spending desolate nights one after another.

But it's a pity that this place is the bustling Lin'an City after all, and it's even in front of the gate of Prince Duan's Mansion.

The tall mansion gate at the back had opened at some point, and Duan Wang, who was about to go out, had to stop and looked at the two of them with a cloudy expression.

"Cough cough." Although most of Zhong Tang's body was hugged by Li Bizhi, he could look over his shoulders and saw Duan Wang standing in front of the gate of the mansion, and immediately coughed a little bit awkwardly.

Li Bizhi probably sensed something, but he just let go of Zhong Tang with his usual face, then turned to face King Duan, and calmly saluted with no trace of fault: "The poor Taoist has seen His Royal Highness Duan Wang."

Duan Wang's complexion was really not very good, but it wasn't all because of seeing the two of them, after Zhong Tang followed Li Bizhi to salute, he secretly glanced at him again.He noticed that King Duan's eyes were black and blue, and his face was also very tired, as if he hadn't had a good rest for many days.

Is it because of Princess Xili, or A Ji?Zhong Tang couldn't think of it for a while, and then he heard King Duan say: "I don't know what the two Taoist priests are doing to come to the humble house?"

King Duan asked straightforwardly, but Zhong Tang pretended to glance at the pedestrian-traveled market in front of Prince Duan's mansion, and then asked, "His Royal Highness, are you sure you want me to wait here to talk?"

Duan Wang frowned slightly, as if he had weighed in his mind, he still gave way to the two: "Then invite the two priests to come into the mansion to have a talk."

That being said, he was being polite, but when Zhong Tang asked about Ah Ji, King Duan was taken aback for a moment, and then said in a cold and distrustful tone, "I don't know where he is."

After Zhong Tang heard this, even though he knew it was common sense, he couldn't help feeling a little unhappy in his heart: "He is a member of His Highness Duan Wang, but does the Duan Wang not know where he is?"

"It's not anymore," the entire Prince Duan's mansion seemed to have sunk into a kind of solitude, King Duan just walked forward and said: "A few days ago, this king has already eliminated his slave status."

"He is no longer the king's man."

Zhong Tang looked at Duan Wang's back and didn't know what to say for a moment.People who are not Duan Wang... It is hard for him to imagine what this sentence means to A Ji.

"Let's go." Li Bizhi took Zhong Tang's hand and said in a deep voice beside him.

Zhong Tang wanted to shake his head, but his eyes fell on King Duan's back: "Then, His Royal Highness, you really don't want to know about Aji's whereabouts?"

King Duan's footsteps did not stop, and he walked towards the deep palace courtyard without saying a word.

King Duan couldn't work here, and the clues about A Ji were still elusive, so Zhong Tang and Li Bizhi had to go back to the Golden Crow Temple.

But this time, just as they entered the gate of the Golden Crow Temple, they were stopped by Fang Hefeng: "Uncle Li, Uncle Li, please stay."

Zhong Tang heard the sound and looked around, Fang Hefeng seemed to have been waiting for them for a while, and now he finally found someone, almost scrambling and rushing over.

"What are you yelling for? Is it possible that your second uncle is whipping you behind your back?" Just after the trip to the palace, it was useless, and Zhong Tang's mood was inevitably a little chaotic. It's so ugly, I can't help leaning on Li Bizhi and asking.

Fang Hefeng hadn't recovered his breath yet, when he was so provoked by Zhong Tang, he didn't care to say anything else, and immediately looked at Li Bizhi with almost begging eyes: "Uncle Li, Master asked me to wait for you here, I want you As soon as you come back, go to Yuanyi Hall to find him."

"Going to Yuanyi Hall again?" Zhong Tang secretly thought, today was an endless day, running around these places repeatedly, and then heard Li Bizhi say calmly: "Got it."

That's right, the big brother is going anyway, there is no reason not to go, Zhong Tang thought about going with Li Bizhi just now, but he didn't want Li Bizhi to look sideways at him and said: "Ah Tang also ran with me After a day, you go back to the yard to rest."

Zhong Tang raised his head suspiciously. He always felt that something was wrong with Li Bizhi, so he said in a blink of an eye, "I'm not too tired. I'll just go with you to the senior brother."

In the past, when Zhong Tang insisted on following Li Bizhi, even Wen Wei was present, and Li Bizhi always let him go, but this time, he stretched out his hand to let him go, and his hair was a little messed up by the wind. and then said: "A Tang, be obedient."

In the dark, Zhong Tang still wanted to persevere, although he didn't know why, but he didn't want to hear the voice of asking Ji behind him: "Don't worry, little brother, I just have some trivial matters to tell Li If you don't go to Yuanyi Hall, but just say a few words here, it will be fine in a while."

Wen Ji even came forward in person, and Zhong Tang couldn't say anything, so he had to let go of Li Bizhi's sleeve slightly.

But just when the two were about to separate, Li Bizhi took his hand again, and shook it again as if comforting: "It will be fine in a while, and I will go find you after I finish talking."

Tang's thin lips finally rose and fell restrainedly, Zhong Tang tilted his head, and rarely obediently walked aside, dragging Fang Hefeng to toss away.

Li Bizhi and Wenji walked under a tall ginkgo tree, and the autumn wind rolled the golden leaves from time to time.

Perhaps it was because of the spells used, no matter how Zhong Tang cast the spells secretly, he couldn't hear what the two of them said. Instead, Fang Hefeng couldn't help but mutter something to him after a long while.

Zhong Tang waited boredly, but unexpectedly under the tree over there, Li Bizhi and Wen Ji hadn't finished talking, but a few Kaiming guards with golden armor and animal heads appeared outside the Golden Crow Temple.

Since General Sang under King Ning was replaced for no reason, the Enlightened Guard seemed less of an eyesore, and more often it was directly deployed by the emperor.

Zhong Tang couldn't think of what they were doing at Jinwu for a moment, so seeing that Li Bizhi and Wenji were both busy, he went up to meet them.Walking in front of those enlightened guards, he parted his thin lips lightly, and asked with a half-smile: "I don't know how many generals, do you have any advice for contempt?"

Perhaps it was the emperor's new General Kaiming Guard who really played a role. The Kaiming Guards, who always had their eyes above their heads before, said to Zhong Tang politely this time: "This little Daoist, we will wait for you." On the order of General Jing, I came to find Daoist Li in Guiguan."

"Li Daochang is my senior brother." Zhong Tang pointed at the ginkgo tree, and then said: "He has important matters to discuss with my temple master. If there is anything, you can tell me the same."

After hearing that, the enlightened guards showed embarrassment, but fortunately Li Bizhi and Wenji also came over at this moment, and they said: "There is another accident in the Jinghua Building, General Jing ordered me to wait for Daoist Li to go quickly. "
