flutter

Needless to say, the ones who came were He Ningwen and Jin Lian.

The two of them traveled day and night from Tianxing Pavilion to the vicinity of Tiandu for four or five days. Fortunately, there were no horses in Tianxing Pavilion, and they only needed a little rest before they could go on their way again.

The closer they were to the sky, the more calm He Ningwen became. He knew that Hao Chengxuan was a very easy person, and if he was not careful, he would be doomed.

Something unusual before we set off again tonight.

The moonlight is dark and the thick clouds linger, as if the weather will be bad tomorrow.

Jin Lian returned after drinking the horse, He Ningwen was about to destroy the bonfire and set off with him again, but was stopped by Jin Lian.

"Master He, you haven't had a good rest for three consecutive days. It's nothing else, even if you meet Hao Chengxuan like this, it must be hard for you to do your best." Jin Lian tied the reins to the tree trunk, and took advantage of the situation to sit down.

The fire was shining brightly, illuminating his complexion with uncertainty.

He Ningwen breathed a sigh of relief, did not reject his kindness, and said, "Did Shi Yan ask you to take care of me more?"

Jin Lian broke off a dry branch and threw it into the fire, turned to He Ningwen with a smile and said, "Of course."

"You have a very good relationship..." He Ningwen couldn't help but think of those eight short words, and now he understands that the reason why Shi Yan couldn't tell is the same as the reason why he concealed himself.Greed in the world keeps on reincarnating over and over again, holy decrees are flocked to, and Shi Yan is shunned.

There is probably Jin Lian who Shi Yan wants to protect.

After hearing his words, Jin Lian was silent for a while, then he remembered something, and said: "The young master didn't mean to hide it from you."

"He is for you, are you right?" He Ningwen's expression was serious, if she had a clue, everything would be visible as shown in the picture, without hindrance.

Jin Lian smiled slightly, and looked at He Ningwen: "That's right, everything is permanent, and people's hearts are impermanent. But I trust the young master very much, so I naturally trust you like him."

He Ningwen's heart was shaken, Jin Lian knew what he meant by what he said, but when he got up he solemnly bowed to Jin Lian, but Jin Lian was not surprised, he still looked at him.

"No luck."

He Ningwen sat back again, and then Jin Lian said: "Young Master left home ten years ago..."

……

"Hero, hero!" Chun Bo yelled a few times in a low voice. Seeing that He Ningwen didn't seem to respond, he touched his package and wanted to turn around and run away.

"Miss." He Ningwen said suddenly, "Since you were kidnapped by this family, I will definitely send you back home."

Chunbo thought of the rhetoric he had just pulled out in a hurry, and thought that the two of them had easily solved the nursing home that had been guarding her with just a few tricks. Turning her head, she put on a pose and said, "The little girl has no one to rely on. It is the duckweed in the world that is being targeted by this group of people." As she spoke, she took out a bank note from the package and handed it to He Ningwen. , clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you two heroes for saving your life, the little girl has nothing to repay."

It's not a big deal to deal with a few local hooligans, but Chunbo's secretive attitude surprised He Ningwen. He thought for a moment and said, "I don't want your banknotes." He walked a few steps closer, and the plaque on the house Only Songhuazhuang was written, He Ningwen pointed to the plaque and asked Chunbo, "Whose house is this?"

Chunbo stammered and faltered, Jin Lian kicked his toe, lifted the machete used by the nursing home into his hand, and put it directly on Chunbo's neck. Chunbo was shocked, and quickly knelt down and said, "Hero, please forgive me. It is said that Xu Miao was sent by the imperial court."

This identity is not simple...

He Ningwen's expression changed slightly, not to mention that he had heard Yaoguang talk about the world before he came, and his mind turned, Xu Miao is the imperial envoy in charge of disaster relief, why would he send so many people to take care of a woman.He pressed: "Who are you? What does he want you to do?"

Chunbo looked at the blade at his neck and thought about it, and said everything like pouring beans: "I said it, I said it, I said it, it was Xu Miao who instructed me, he wanted me to frame that inner guard, say yes He stole the salary, and said that if things are done, he will guarantee that I will be safe and he will redeem me as a concubine, so I will do it."

He Ningwen and Jin Lian looked at each other, and they both saw some shock in each other's eyes, which Yaoguang never mentioned.

It's just that this is a matter in the court, and he is not suitable for meddling.He Ningwen thought again, the last time she met Xie Xuechan in Jingfu seemed to be for this matter, but if she was rashly handed over to Fu Guangsi, she didn't know how she would be punished.

He Ningwen only said: "You run away, but it is Fu Guangsi who is investigating this matter, I don't know how capable Xie Xuechan is, if she wants to investigate, I'm afraid you will not end well."

The more he talked about Chunbo's face became paler, Jin Lian withdrew his knife after He Ningwen finished speaking, Chunbo was stunned for a moment, did not answer He Ningwen, grabbed his bag and ran away.

Jin Lian threw the machete back to the ground, approached He Ningwen, and said, "Her behavior should have no effect on Fu Guangsi's investigation."

He Ningwen nodded, looking at the brightly lit but uninhabited house at night: "After all, the salary has already fallen into Hao Chengxuan's hands, probably used by him to support the army privately."

His heart was even more depressed, and after a few words, the two got on the horse again and went to the sky.

……

The sky is getting white, and the morning light is faint.

The officials of the early dynasty had dispersed, but Xie Xuechan was retained by the emperor.

When Xie Xuechan was led by the eunuchs to the imperial study, the Golden Glory Hall was silent, and the emperor on the seat was dressed luxuriously, but because of his illness, the court clothes did not fit his body well.It's just that all the attendants in the hall watched their noses, noses and mouths, not daring to breathe out of their mouths.He was like an old lion, Willy, whom everyone saw was aging but everyone still feared.

Xie Xuechan saluted calmly, waiting for the old emperor to make her stand up with a thick but muffled voice.

"Xie Qing, what did you find out?"

Xie Xuechan had already reported the case to the court, but at this time the old emperor asked her again and answered in a polite manner: "My lord, the theft of salaries and silver due to the flood in the south of the Yangtze River occurred on the first day of March and ended on the second day of April. Niqu Xu Miao, Liu Feng and 23 subordinate officials have captured Fu Guangsi, and the inner guard Qi Xiangyu is still suspected. And the money has not been transferred, and the minister suspects that there are other forces. The third prince came down to write a letter, and the minister has already submitted it."

The old emperor suddenly became angry: "Rebellious ministers and thieves, how audacious!" All the waiters in the palace knelt down and respected him.

Xie Xuechan bowed again and knelt down: "I beg Your Majesty to grant you the duty of investigation."

The old emperor looked at her and said quietly: "I have transferred Han Yanyue, the chief of the inner guard, to your subordinates."

Xie Xue repented and bowed down to thank her: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The old emperor panted heavily, and waved: "You go..." Xie Xuechan got up to leave, only to hear the emperor summon at the end: "Call me Duan Hanshuo."

Xie Xuechan didn't care about all these royal battles, turned her head and refused the chariot arranged by the waiter, and walked out of the palace step by step.

The sky is still groggy, and it can be seen from the sunrise that there will be rain today.

……

It was noon when He Ningwen and Jin Lian drove their horses into the city. Although it was broad daylight, the sky looked a bit gloomy because of the persistent rain clouds.

Suzaku Avenue is wide and wide, with almost no end in sight.He Ningwen had also obtained the current location of Hao Chengxuan's house from Yaoguang before, and he alone could not resist Hao Chengxuan's numerous opponents, if he wanted revenge, he had to be surprised.

The daytime was too eye-catching, He Ningwen only went out with Jin Lian at night after changing into night clothes and wearing a mask.

The city is brilliant and bustling, even if the market is still open at night, you can still hear the bustle on the street.Fortunately, the two of them hid all the way and added lightness kung fu to reach the prime minister's mansion next to Longchi without making a sound.He Ningwen was hiding on the eaves across the street at this time, and the map Yaoguang gave before also showed the address clearly, but it was only when he was there that He Ningwen could intuitively see that this mansion with nearly [-] rooms occupies an extremely large area. It is large, and you can see the towers and houses in the mansion from a height, and there are still candles.

However, what really made He Ningwen suspicious was that this mansion was already located in the extreme east of Tiandu, and the city walls and closed gates could be seen no matter how far away.

If Hao Chengxuan had already taken control of this place, then he would secretly raise private troops to disrupt the court situation without anyone noticing.

Before he could think about it, there was a movement in front of the gate, a group of porters carried their shoulders and prepared their shoulders. Not long after, the main gate opened, and a group of people walked out in a mighty way.

He Ningwen trembled all over. It must be the best opportunity to make a move at this time. He held the sharp blade in his hand, bit his jaw tightly and wanted to make a move, but suddenly stopped.He Ningwen thought to himself: "Hao Chengxuan intends to rebel against me, and he must be on guard against other people's interception and killing. How can he travel alone? Don't be reckless, you must kill with one blow. He Huai, please calm down. "He clenched his hands tightly, but he restrained his killing intent and calmed down for a moment.

Jin Lian looked sideways at his release and retraction, Jin Lian already knew that Hao Chengxuan had a blood feud with him, so he only whispered at this moment: "I will follow, if I don't lie, I will catch him."

Indeed, He Ningwen didn't want to let down his vigilance and miss any possible opportunity. Seeing that the sedan chair had already started to go to the city, he gritted his teeth and nodded, and Jin Lian disappeared instantly and jumped away.

After leaving the shoulder chariot in the house, there was no sound again, and even the candles were gradually extinguished, only the turret in the depths was still brightly lit.

After waiting for another moment, there was still no sound in the house, so He Ningwen quietly got up, recalled the map Yaoguang gave and went to the study, even if Hao Chengxuan was not here, there would be many secrets here.

Although there were voices from servants along the way, He Ning still felt uneasy. At this time, he hid himself in the West Garden to avoid the crowd, but he heard someone from the next wall say: "These days are so busy that my feet don't even touch the bed. My hand is almost useless." Another person said: "You complain here when you have time, why don't you hurry up and send the food to the Qilin Courtyard? If you offend Shangfeng, you will die right away." He Ning heard that these two people are servants of the mansion, although they are lowly in status, they can know many things that are difficult for outsiders to know, so she calmed down and listened.

Only the person with a more immature voice said: "You're right, we just need to be careful about serving the food. I'm afraid that group of people have to use their brains to do things. I think they all know martial arts, but I don't know what they are doing." of it."

The other person hurriedly led her to the corner, and said in a low voice, "You don't want to die, dare to object to the master's affairs? So what if you know martial arts, and what if you don't know it, it has nothing to do with you and me. Here The most important thing to do is to keep your mouth shut, don’t listen to or watch things that have nothing to do with you, don’t even remember them.” She spoke hurriedly and with lingering fears, the younger maid didn’t take it seriously, but said: “I know, don’t worry Bar."

"Sigh." The older maid obviously had rich experience, and knew that she would not shed tears when she saw the coffin, so she didn't say anything more, but said, "You just need to know that nothing in the mansion should be shared with outsiders."
