The phoenix pattern is surging

It was night, Yue Hengxing looked at the report in his hand, and didn't say anything for a long time, and finally asked in a deep voice: "Is the news reliable?"

"My lord, don't worry, the news came from the third princess, so there must be no mistakes."

After finishing speaking, Ye Wenzhi said: "Since Xiping did it, Bei Ye will definitely not let it go."

"My subordinates also received news that it was Danfeng Xuanming who confirmed the captive. It seems that he, Danfeng, is also involved."

"Danfeng Xuanming?"

"Exactly! I heard that this person is a rare sword master!"

Ye Wenzhi nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Since the plan has changed, in my opinion, it's better to stop the trip to Luocheng."

Yue Hengping pursed his lips and remained silent, with a vague look of hesitation in his eyes, Wei Yan called out to the lord in confusion, Ye Wenzhi twirled his beard and thought for a moment, then smiled, and said: "Young Master Li's ministers have sent someone to investigate However, there are good and bad, my lord wants to know?"

"Say."

The other party looked calm, Ye Wenzhi lowered his eyes and pondered for a while, and said in a low voice: "Actually, his surname is Ruan Mingji, and he is not an ordinary handyman, but... the signboard of the Phoenix Tower... just because Ji Suiqing took a fancy to him a few days ago, he often Ridai is by my side. In the past few days, Ji Suiqing has disappeared without a trace, presumably because of this, he will go back to Luocheng."

Yuan Heng's eyes flickered, as if he had expected it long ago, Ye Wenzhi coughed lightly, and continued: "It seems that he will hide a lot, probably because he is afraid of being despised by us. Since this person is not a spy, if he insists on going back, we will You can give him some silver to go on the road, or..."

When he said this, he deliberately paused, and Yue Hengping's eyes moved, and the indifference of the past returned, and he said in a deep voice: "You think too much."

Ye Wenzhi stroked his long beard with a smile, but there was a lot of thought in his eyes. Yue Hengping lowered his head and thought about it for a full cup of tea, and finally tapped his fingers on the table to finalize it, saying: "I will take care of this matter. Two days later Set off and return to Xingye, the two of you should do well, and make no mistakes."

"As ordered!"

"Yes!"

When Li Ran woke up, he found that Yuan Heng was not there. He didn't have much doubts, he just thought that the other party had gotten up at night.

He got up and poured a cup of tea. Just as he was about to drink, the door creaked. Yuan Heng pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing that he had woken up, the other party was slightly taken aback, and soon returned to normal, asking: "Are you awake?" ?”

Li Ran raised the tea cup in his hand with a smile, said that he was thirsty, and then drank the tea in the cup. Seeing that Yuan Heng's clothes were neat, he joked with him, "You don't have to dress so neatly when you go out to do errands, right?" ?”

Yuan Heng glanced at him, took off his coat and hung it on the coat rack, thought for a moment, and said: "There is something I wanted to discuss with you tomorrow, but now that you're awake, I'd better tell you first."

"what's up?"

Li Ran put down the teacup in his hand, looked at the other party suspiciously, Yuan Heng sat down opposite him, and said: "It's really...unfortunately, something happened at home, I'm afraid we won't be able to go together again."

Li Ran didn't see the deep meaning in his eyes, he nodded knowingly, and said, "Then when will you go back?"

Yuan Heng thought for a moment, said the day after tomorrow, was silent for a moment, and asked with an unpredictable expression: "Although the Phoenix Tower can be settled, it is not a place to stay for a long time."

The other party looked weird, Li Ran smiled coyly, and said, "I'm used to being lazy, and it's still comfortable to stay in the old place."

Yuan Heng pursed his lips and said nothing, Li Ran poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, and said to himself: "There is always a banquet in the world, thanks to your help these days, I will not be living on the street, next time you go to Luocheng Time, let me do my best as a landlord.”

Yuan Heng was slightly stunned, took the tea handed over by the other party, and said in a low voice: "We will meet again in the future."

After finishing speaking, he raised his glass and drank it down, finally heaved a sigh to himself, at that time, there was a fragrance of flowers lingering in his nose, just like the meeting between the two of them, illusory and ethereal like a dream.

The next day, after bidding farewell to Yuan Heng and others, Li Ran hired a carriage and headed towards Luocheng by himself. He disguised himself as a merchant and mixed with a group of vendors, and was guided along the way, so he walked smoothly.

When they arrived at Jeju City, the checkpoints became tighter and tighter. After inquiring, they realized that there was a big person coming from the city. As for who this big person was, no one knew.

He didn't take this matter to heart either, and went to the store as usual, waiting to continue on his way tomorrow morning.

After so many days of traveling, it would be self-deceiving to say that he is not tired, his lower abdomen is slightly protruding, and it is not obvious that it is hidden by the spring clothes, and he feels helpless every time he takes off his clothes.

This night, the moon is high and tomorrow is high, and he is about to fall asleep, but he hears the creaking sound of the window, and before he can react, a hunched figure has appeared in front of his eyes.

Taking advantage of the moonlight, he took a closer look and saw that the person who came was actually Liu Jun's confidant Bianhe, and he broke out in a cold sweat from shock.

I never thought that the other party would bow to him, and said respectfully, "Your Highness, don't come here without any problems."

Li Ran stared at the other party, and said coldly: "You are so powerful, you can find me like this."

Bianhe shook his head and said: "The old man has obeyed the order of my Emperor Xiping to bring His Highness back to Andu."

Xi'an?He's not from Ji Suiqing!

Li Ran came to his senses after a startling sting, Bian He said again: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the old man has made a plan to send away the idlers, and this trip will definitely keep you safe."

"Don't worry!"

Li Ran snorted coldly, raised his sword and forced him up, Bianhe didn't panic, he still stood in an even and steady manner, raised his sleeves, and said with some emotion: "It's fruitless to resist in the end, why doesn't Your Highness listen to it?" ?”

After the words were finished, Li Ran felt his vision blurred, his feet softened and he fell over.

Bianhe caught his precarious body and knocked on the table. A man in black clothes sneaked in from outside the door, carried him and jumped down from the window. After running for a while, he went up to the back lane. carriage.

Bianhe followed closely behind, jumped onto the cart, then swung his whip, and he and the horse disappeared without a trace in an instant.

When he woke up again, he was already in the carriage, and there was a person sitting opposite him, it was Benhe.

"Are you awake?"

He moved a little, and found that his hands and feet were weak. He laughed at himself and said, "I calculated and calculated, but I didn't expect that you, Cheng Yaojin, would be killed halfway. Sure enough, it was the mantis catching the cicada, and the oriole was behind. You hide Deep enough and patient."

Bianhe glanced at him with a smile and said with a straight face: "If Your Highness doesn't send a message back, I'm afraid the old man will be lost."

That's it!

Li Ran felt remorseful and annoyed at the same time. This journey of disguise was extremely low-key, and logically there should be no accidents. It turned out that this was the reason. When he raised his eyes to look at Bianhe, the old man Bian still had the appearance of a god and Buddha who was stable and unshakeable. worry free.

He stabilized his mind, thinking to himself that he must not get confused now, and could only wait for the opportunity, the two were relatively silent, he suppressed the resentment in his heart, and asked indifferently: "How did you find me? "

"Actually, the old man has always been aware of His Highness's whereabouts, but..." He said this, looked at the other party with a deep smile, and said, "It's just that I can't tell you the reason behind it honestly."

Li Ran gritted his teeth, thinking to himself that this old guy is really shrewd enough to be so cautious.

"Since you knew my whereabouts long ago, why didn't you act until now?"

Li Ran glanced at the driver inadvertently, secretly calculating the possibility of escaping, and stroked his long gray beard with a gentle smile, squinting his long and narrow old eyes to see his thoughts , seeing all the vicissitudes and sophistication of the world through his eyes, he said: "Does your Highness know that you have walked through the door of hell?"

Li Ranjun frowned, and glanced at him with disbelief, obviously not interested in such alarmist words.

Bianhe sipped his tea leisurely, and said: "If the old man hadn't been a hindrance, with his ability, how could he not have found out your details?" After finishing speaking, he chuckled and said: "He has already secretly sent you People are checking on you, does Your Highness know?"

Li Ran was silent for a long time, and then asked in half-shock and doubt: "You mean, Yuan Heng?"

"Hehe, did your Highness really believe what he said?"

"What do you want to say?"

Bianhe nodded, and sighed: "How can I not know the famous figures in the Eleven Kingdoms, and only His Highness who is new here..."

When he said this, he didn't say any more out of face. Li Ran blushed, coughed in a deep voice, and said, "It's long-winded, just say what you want to say."

Bianhe stroked his long gray beard with a smile, and said seriously again: "Your Highness, you know that Yuan Heng is not Yuan Heng, but Yue Heng, the Son of Heaven of Dongyue Mountain!"

Li Ran was startled suddenly, how could he have never heard of the name of Dongyue Yueheng, but he never expected that Yuan Heng, who looked cold but had a good heart, was actually the cruel and cold Yue Heng in Jiang Jue's mouth ?

Seeing his thoughtful face, Bianhe said again: "If he had known your identity early in the morning, what do you think would happen?"

"Can it be worse than now?"

His words were sarcasm, and he smiled awkwardly, thinking to himself that this person is really difficult to serve, but he thought so in his heart, but said very respectfully: "The old man is just following orders, and since you are my emperor For those who need to be protected, Bianhe naturally will not hesitate to do so."

After finishing speaking, he gestured to kneel.

Li Ran raised his weak hand to stop him, and said, "No, I can't bear it."

Bianhe gave him a deep look with a smile, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty probably doesn't know how much my Majesty likes you, but do you know--"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the other party: "Okay, you can save this nonsense and talk about it later. Let me ask you, is Ji Suiqing still alive?"

Bianhe was taken aback for a moment, then he twitched his beard and smiled: "Your Highness is deeply concerned, but why do you think the old man wants to harm him?"

"What do you mean?"

Bianhe didn't reply in a hurry, but took out a porcelain vase of violets from his sleeve, and asked with a strange face: "Have you heard of the name of Liuguo'Roland'?"

Li Ran was startled suddenly, of course he had an impression of this thing, Jiang Yi was almost killed that day, and it had a lot to do with this poison, now this person puts this poison in front of him openly, how can he not make him angry?

He sneered, and said: "It's a good way to borrow a knife to kill people. It turns out that Su Mo is so capable, and he always does some shady things."

Hearing that he hurt Su Mo so much, Bianhe couldn't help feeling angry from his heart, his face sank as if he was going to get angry, but he didn't know why, but he didn't express it, instead he persuaded: "Your Highness has misunderstood my Majesty, we will get along with you in the future." After a while, you will definitely understand."

Li Ran snorted coldly, sneered, Bianhe stared at him for a while, finally shook his head helplessly, then put the porcelain vase in his sleeve, and sighed with emotion: "Your Highness only knows that the old man is good at using strange things." Poisonous, but how could Ji Suiqing be so fuel-efficient? How could he be easily killed? Whether he will make a fuss about being attacked in Beiye, I don't know."

After finishing speaking, he pursed his lips and said nothing more.

Li Ran had a sudden thought, thinking to himself that since this person is Su Mo's confidant, he would naturally try his best to speak up for him, and the reason why Liu Jun hated him so much was in the final analysis the root of the disaster planted by Su Mo.

Thinking of this, he felt extremely headache.

I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me. That day Liu Yue committed suicide in prison with hatred. After all, he had nothing to do with him. Now Liu Jun will come to seek revenge, which is more or less expected by him. It's just that the kid's methods are more vicious than Su Mo's, which makes people feel cold, and Su Mo's meddling makes him even more puzzled.

Bianhe looked at the expression between his brows and eyes from the corner of his eyes, smiled knowingly, and said: "My Majesty has always indulged Young Master Liu, and never said a single serious word, but now he has actually moved the truth." Anger, what does Your Highness think is the reason?"

Li Ran sneered, and said, "Sure enough, you are an old man. There is a lot of nonsense. After talking so much, what do you want to say?"

Bianhe almost choked him, and it took him a long time to get over his breath, sighing inwardly, thinking to himself that their emperor's preferences are really different from ordinary people.

The two of them were relatively silent, and Li Ran was in extreme hardship in the carriage.

Half a month later, the group arrived at Yishui County in Xiping.

For more than ten days, the horses and chariots had never stopped traveling day and night, but today they stopped for the first time. While Li Ran was puzzled, his doubts remained undiminished, but added to them.

When the curtain of the carriage and horses was lifted, he was startled suddenly, because there was a tall person standing outside the carriage, wearing a deep purple brocade robe, embroidered with the dark pattern of a dragon.

Li Ran looked at it and said to himself, God is going to kill me!
