After raising Xiao Hongyin for these years, it would be false to say that he is still a stranger, so He Yanzhi decided not only to get rid of the bloody storm in the court, but also to pull him out together.

Xiao Hongyin has grown up, capable of both literature and martial arts and can take care of himself, now is the best time to leave Xizhou.

Yang Kuan was confused by He Yanzhi's words: "Dongzhou! What are you doing there in the backcountry? This... Ah Yin has such good qualifications, it's a pity not to rush for the exam!"

However, He Yanzhi has made up his mind and doesn't care about Yang Kuan's words.

"This is your lifelong event, Ah Yin, you should say something!" Yang Kuan knocked down his wine glass in a hurry, and the wine spilled all over the floor.

Xiao Hongyin didn't make a sound, just staring at He Yanzhi like this.

Yang Kuan scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, and after a long time, Xiao Hongyin opened his mouth slightly and said, "Okay."

Yang Kuan gave the two of them an unreasonable look, and walked out of the yard angrily. After he left, the whole room fell into silence.

Xiao Hongyin picked up the jug and poured wine for the two of them, He Yanzhi glanced at his cup, before saying anything, Xiao Hongyin removed his own cup: "If Yanzhi won't let me drink, then I won't drink."

"When did you become so obedient?" He Yanzhi picked up the wine glass, holding it in his hand but didn't want to drink it.

"I've always been like this." Xiao Hongyin smiled and changed a cup of tea for him.

Isn't it just going to Dongzhou? It will be the same to return to Beijing after He Yanzhi is settled, Xiao Hongyin secretly has a small calculation in his heart.

And He Yanzhi was also thinking about how to hide it from He Yu. If he left Xizhou with someone like this, the informant who regularly delivered medicine to him would soon find out.

After sitting for a while, Xiao Hongyin went to the kitchen to clean up the dishes, He Yanzhi practiced sword in the yard for a while, and the two went to rest early after washing.

The next day, both of them were idle at home. Not long after He Yanzhi lay down, Xiao Hongyin pulled him up to exercise. He couldn't stand Xiao Hongyin's nagging, so he went out for a stroll.

With money in his pocket, He Yanzhi searched all the way to the newly opened ice cheese shop, and lined up in front of the door.

Looking at the long line, He Yanzhi couldn't help but yawned.

This ice cream is delicious, and if there were fewer people, he would be happy to come to buy it every day.

He Yanzhi lined up boredly, there were rich and powerful families in front of him who bought a pot for every purchase, and there were some people who brought their families with them. One person was worth three people. He waited for nearly an hour before it was his turn. Think about how Xiao Hongyin bought it.

"Two servings."

He Yanzhi was about to take out the money, when suddenly a man dressed as an official squeezed in front of him, and said to the shopkeeper: "How much more, my adults will take care of the rest!"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper burst into laughter, but the people in line started shouting.

He Yanzhi was also furious, and said: "May I ask which family's master Hei Ye has become a master, and can eat a whole cart of ice cream."

The official servant seemed to have never studied, didn't understand the meaning of "Hei Ye" is a pig, and proudly reported his master: "Master Zhao, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, is it true that you and the grassroots are worthy of asking your name?!"

Did you say whether you deserve it or not?

He Yanzhi suddenly remembered that Yang Kuan said that someone from above was coming, could it be this person he was referring to.

"I have been living in Xizhou for a long time, and I have never heard of Mr. Zhao. You are here to frame someone."

As soon as He Yanzhi finished speaking, before he could refute, several officials surrounded him and drove away all the common people who lined up.

These officials were all equipped with high-quality knives, surrounded He Yanzhi, and the leader of the team stepped forward to him.

He Yanzhi looked calmly at him and said, "What orders does the official have?"

The man immediately took out a token and said: "Young Master He, Mr. Zhao has an invitation."

Seeing that they had come prepared, He Yanzhi readily agreed.

As they returned to the familiar yamen, He Yanzhi had an inexplicable feeling that things were right and wrong. When he entered the study, he saw a middle-aged man in official uniform sitting behind the desk and smiling.

"Young Master He is here."

Zhao Mengjie got up to greet him, He Yanzhi took a step back and bowed, "Master Zhao."

Zhao Mengjie let him excuse himself and called people to serve tea.

"Young Master He, try this snow-covered silver frost. I like bitter tea. I don't know how Young Master He tastes."

He Yanzhi glanced at the teacup in front of him, smiled slightly, and said, "What is Mr. Zhao looking for with He, please speak up."

Zhao Mengjie had heard about this person's temper, but he did not expect him to be so straightforward, so he smiled: "Since Mr. He asked, I will say it straight. I heard that Mr. He is quite good at judging cases and interrogating cases, and he is a rare talent." , I want to invite the young master to be on duty in our Ministry of Punishment, but I don't know what the young master wants."

He Yanzhi didn't even think about it, and refused: "My lord, Mr. Zhao, He was only a minor servant before, and he didn't know how to settle cases, and he was dismissed due to negligence, so he can't afford it anymore."

Zhao Mengjie saw that he refused decisively, with a smile on his face, and took a sip of tea slowly: "Young Master He, don't be self-effacing. I'm tired of traveling and traveling, and I still need to stay in Xizhou for a few days. You won't be too late after you think it over clearly. .”

After saying that, an official came in from outside the door and whispered in Zhao Mengjie's ear, Zhao Mengjie turned to He Yanzhi and said: "I still have important matters to discuss, so I will send someone to send Mr. He back, and the ice cream will be used as a gift." To make an apology, I hope Mr. He will forgive me."

He Yanzhi nodded and said goodbye, passing by the mulberry tree outside the yamen, suddenly stretched out a hand to hold him.

"A Yin?"

Xiao Hongyin made a silent gesture to him and pulled him behind the mulberry tree with force.

The mulberry tree grows against the corner of the wall, and the trunk and the wall form a narrow space. He Yanzhi was pressed inside by Xiao Hongyin, facing him and hiding behind the tree.

Xiao Hongyin's face was so close that He Yanzhi could almost count how many eyelashes he had, and his limbs became stiff all of a sudden.

The two looked at each other, and they were silent for a long time, until He Yanzhi wanted to ask him what was the matter, there was a slight sound of footsteps above his head.

He Yanzhi turned his head slightly to see that several people dressed as officials were flying on the roof, looking for someone.

"It's them again?"

He Yanzhi referred to the accomplices of the two previous dark guards, who were sent by He Yu. He Yanzhi thought that Xiao Hongyin didn't know He Yu yet, so he used the word "you" instead.

Since the two hidden guards disappeared, he has sent three waves of people to search for Xiao Hongyin's traces near Xizhou. Xiao Hongyin has been covering up well on weekdays. It is estimated that there was a commotion in the market today that attracted the attention of Xiao Hongyin. took them.

"kindness."

Xiao Hongyin responded lightly, and the air he exhaled landed on He Yanzhi's side face, blowing the fine fluff on his face.

He Yanzhi felt itchy, but due to the awkward movements of the two of them at this time, he raised his hand and held back, quietly waiting for those people to go away.

After about a stick of incense, the two came out from behind the tree.

He Yanzhi heaved a sigh of relief.

Xiao Hongyin looked at him and said, "I heard that you were arrested because of ice cream?"

He Yanzhi didn't know whether to say yes or no, so he let go of his mouth and said: "Master Zhao came from the Ministry of Punishment and asked me to be on duty at his place, but I didn't agree."

"Master Zhao? Zhao Mengjie?" Xiao Hongyin recalled this person. In his previous life, he was originally a crony of the Xiao family, but later joined the prince's party. He came to He Yanzhi, probably to recruit talents.

"you recognize?"

"I heard from Dayang."

Xiao Hongyin didn't change his face, so He Yanzhi didn't suspect him.

"Let's leave tomorrow." Since the man was found so quickly, he had to leave as soon as possible.

After returning home, the two packed up their parcels, thinking that they hadn't said goodbye to Yang Kuan yet, so they left a letter under the table.

At night, He Yanzhi was lying on the bed, unable to fall asleep.

On summer nights, the chirping of insects gradually rises, entwining around the bed, and there is no peace for a moment.

He Yanzhi took two pieces of rags to plug his ears, and leaned against the wall to force himself to sleep, but when he closed his eyes, his mind was full of the image of Xiao Hongyin being pierced through his heart by his sword.

No, he must not repeat the mistakes of the original book.

What Zhao Mengjie, let him go to hell!

The sound of "bang bang" heartbeat became more and more clear amidst the sound of insects, He Yanzhi suddenly twitched his right ear, and slowly stretched his hand under the pillow.

someone.

"bass--"

The sound of weapons clashing cut off the sound of insects, and He Yanzhi immediately pulled out his dagger and jumped out of the bed, seeing a man in black who had been stabbed in his right arm and forced to retreat to the corner of the wall.

Xiao Hongyin did not know when to appear, and was holding a sword in front of He Yanzhi, with endless killing intent in his eyes.

The man in black didn't succeed, and turned around to run away. Xiao Hongyin threw the hilt of his sword, intending to throw the sword at the man in black's heart, but He Yanzhi stopped him in time.

"Let him go. If the other hidden guards can't wait for him, they will be dispatched immediately. Let him delay first, and we will leave quickly."

Xiao Hongyin nodded, and Tong He Yanzhi took the package over the wall and fell into the alley, the two figures disappeared in the darkness.

He Yanzhi and Xiao Hongyin quickly left the alley according to their memory, and they went straight to the ferry.

They had already tied a small boat by the river so that they could leave at any time, but when they hurried to the ferry, the boat was scattered into a pile of logs.

He Yanzhi dragged Xiao Hongyin to turn around, dozens of dark guards descended from the sky and blocked their way, Xiao Hongyin flew to the other side of the bridge with He Yanzhi with quick eyes and quick hands.

Both of their lightness skills are not bad, but these hidden guards are good at tracking, and they got closer to the two of them in a short while.

He Yanzhi observed the surrounding situation from the corner of his eye, and saw that three or four hidden guards were almost shoulder to shoulder with them, so he had to draw out his sword to fight against the hidden guards.

The silence in the middle of the night was broken by the sound of handcuffing of weapons. The dark guard threw several darts, and at the same time flashed in front of He Yanzhi and stabbed with his sword.

Xiao Hongyin stood back to back with him, and also used his sword to force back the dark guards who rushed forward.

With the skills of the two of them, it is not difficult to deal with the hidden guards, but what makes them a headache is that the number of these people is constantly increasing.

The purpose of the hidden guards was to arrest people, so He Yanzhi tried his best to keep the distance from Xiao Hongyin no more than three steps away. The hidden guards realized his obstruction and exchanged glances with each other.

"Beware!"

Several hidden guards threw out ropes to tie Xiao Hongyin, but He Yanzhi raised his sword to block him and chopped the rope net into pieces.

However, after the rope net was cut off, dozens of sword blades stabbed straight at He Yanzhi, Xiao Hongyin hurriedly pulled him back, but everything happened too quickly, and He Yanzhi's arm was still cut with blood.

Xiao Hongyin's eyes were completely red, and he raised his sword to take their lives, but the hidden guards took the opportunity to separate the two of them with overwhelming dark darts.

"Yanzhi!"

Xiao Hongyin stretched out his hand to grab He Yanzhi, but the sword light fell, blocking him in place.

At the other end, He Yanzhi was surrounded by several dark guards, and he was almost invisible.

Xiao Hongyin's breathing stagnated, and his pupils instantly merged with the icy night.
