On the first floor of the tea house, there are very few customers.

The proprietress at the counter sensed that something was wrong, and called the waiters who were wiping the tables and stools back to the back hall, and then she also hid in.

"Hey, why is there no one to refill the tea?"

"Yeah, there were too many people just now, and now the proprietress has run away."

Bandit Chu sipped his tea, glanced at the remaining dozen or so people, Jing Mo understood, got up and walked in front of them.

Jing Mo: "Everyone, my lords ask you to leave quickly."

"Who is your adult... Let's go right away! Go right away!"

During the conversation, the dozen or so people ran faster than anyone else, Jing Mo put away the token of Chu Mansion, and retreated to Bandit Chu.

In an instant, there was silence, and there were only Chu Bandit and Jing Mo on the whole floor.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in, and the white gauze floated up in front of Chu Bandit's face, revealing those murderous peach blossom eyes.

In the corridor, Youbai and Dongchan were protecting each other in front of their young masters. Xiao Rong lightly shook the silk fan in her hand, smiled slightly, and said, "Here we come."

There was only the sound of breaking wind, and several sharp swords shot out from the side rooms on both sides of the first floor. Jing Mo overturned the Eight Immortals table with one foot to make a shield, pinched his fingers to make a whistle, and was about to blow, but Bandit Chu said: "Wait a minute."

In the rain of arrows, more than [-] hidden guards rushed out from both sides and quickly surrounded the two of them. Bandit Chu drew his sword and attacked and defended with Jing Mo, wrestling with them.

Zhao Liangyue put his hand on the railing, looked at the battle situation below, and frowned.

Xiao Rong clicked her tongue and said: "Master Zhao, don't worry about Master Chu, we are not safe here."

As if to confirm Xiao Rong's words, the door of the book fan in front of them was kicked open from the inside, and dozens of hidden guards appeared, all turned up from the other side of the restaurant.

Dong Chan's round eyes rolled, and she couldn't help sighing: "Master, you are so crow's mouth."

Xiao Rong knocked on Dong Chan with a silk fan, and said, "It's not big or small, why don't you hurry up and beat them down with the peerless martial arts I taught you?"

Dong Chan pursed her lips. Because of her short stature, she first kicked on the nearby pillar for strength, then leaped seven feet, pinched a dark guard rushing up with her knees, snapped his neck, blood came from all of her orifices .

Ever since Youbai came back from Ningzhou, even when he was sleeping, he carried a knife by his side, and this time he swung the knife and beheaded three hidden guards in a row.

Zhao Liangyue looked around quickly, and said to Youbai: "In the southwest, the one who is obviously higher than the hidden guards around you is the leader, you go and catch it."

Youbai glanced at Dongchan, and felt that he could handle it for a while, so he ran towards the hidden guard who was about to go downstairs in the southwest corridor.

Immediately, swords clashed and voices echoed upstairs and downstairs, Chu Bandit raised his head suspiciously, and saw Zhao Liangyue standing in the corner of the corridor with a white figure at a glance, and couldn't help frowning.

"Why is Mr. Zhao here? The one next to him is Rongge, right?" Jing Mo said as he glanced at his lord's ugly face, and immediately understood, he pinched his fingers and blew the whistle.

In addition to the eye-catching black clothes in the teahouse, the eye-catching red eagle clothes suddenly appeared, and surrounded from all sides like a strong wind.

Bandit Chu asked Xing Shuo and Jing Mo to deal with the first floor, and brought a wave of Jin Luanwei to the second floor to kill them.

Youbai is still fighting with that boss, the boss is the same as the maidservants and servants he met in Ningzhou City before, usually hiding and disguising his aura, only in this fight did he reveal his original martial arts foundation, although he was at a disadvantage in front of Youbai , but he did not let him be slaughtered, he is a master of the hidden guards.

Xiao Rong was still calm and composed during the killing cry, gently shaking her silk fan and watching left and right, as if she was watching a play, until she met the eyes of Chu Bandit on the stairs—even though in fact, one of them was wearing a bamboo hat and the other was wearing a hat. The veiled hat hung down, separated by two layers of white gauze and a distance of ten feet, but Xiao Rong clearly felt Chu Bandit's anger towards him.

Xiao Rong clicked her tongue and thought, Chu Shangshu, I really didn't intend to bring your Master Zhao here on purpose!

Suddenly, there was a ray of wind approaching quietly amidst the shouts of suicide, directly approaching Zhao Liangyue's temple, Xiao Rong pulled Zhao Liangyue past, and then fixed a silver needle on the pillar behind.

Xiao Rong frowned: "It's such a fast hidden weapon." As she spoke, several gusts of wind blew, Xiao Rong stopped in front of Zhao Liangyue, quickly turned the silk fan in her hand, and caught the five silver needles that flew over again.

At this time, Dong Chan had followed the direction to find the guard who was shooting the silver needle on the beam of the house, and jumped up the pillar directly to the end.

Xiao Rong raised the satin silk fan in her hand, the fan surface was scratched by the sharp silver needles, and it was completely destroyed, the peony picture on it was torn into several pieces, which were blown by the wind.

Zhao Liangyue heard a soft sigh from under the hood, so light that it seemed to be an illusion.

"Xilin, are you alright?" Bandit Chu, who had just witnessed the whole process of the dangerous situation not far away, rushed over this time, and checked up and down with lingering fear.

The director of Xuefang Academy who brought Zhao Liangyue here tactfully shut up, and gave Dongchan a gesture, intending to slip away quietly.

"Young Master Xiao, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Chu Bandit turned his head slightly to stop Xiao Rong, Xiao Rong turned around and came back, separated the white gauze of the veiled hat and piled it on his shoulders, showing a sincere and guilty smile.

Upstairs and downstairs, Jin Luanwei had already controlled the hidden guards and unloaded the jaws of the surviving hidden guards to prevent suicide by swallowing medicine.

Bandit Chu took off the bamboo hat, rubbed it with his fingers unconsciously, and asked Xiao Rong: "I have two questions to ask you. First, why did Xilin appear here? Second, you just fanned it with silk silk. Taking a few silver needles, you can see your skills, but how can the weak 'One Finger Nian' know martial arts?"

Xiao Rong cupped her hands and said with a smile: "Bringing Mr. Zhao here is really an accident. As for knowing some martial arts, after all, Xiao is secretly doing business with his head on his neck, so we must leave some room for it, right?"

Chu Bandit half-closed his peach blossom eyes and looked at Xiao Rong, saying, "I don't believe what you said."

"Then what Chu Shangshu said, can I believe it?"

Zhao Liangyue at the side opened his mouth, his tone was blunt and alienated, Chu bandit hurriedly rolled his eyes and smiled, but Zhao Liangyue turned his head and ignored it.

The surrounding Jinluanwei all looked at the two adults who seemed to be at odds.

Chu bandit leaned over and whispered: "Xi Lin, I'll go back and explain the recent things to you."

Zhao Liangyue looked sideways at Chu Bandit, and asked, "For example, why did Shangshu Chu, who was supposed to be bedridden by poisoning, appear here?"

Chu Bandit suddenly felt that he had made a mistake, and all the wishful thinking in his heart was smashed by Xiao Rong.

Regarding the matter of the hidden guards, in fact, Chu Bandit began to design and prepare with Xingshuo and Xuefangyuan more than half a month ago. The reason why he chose to hide it from Zhao Liangyue was because the Ministry of Household Affairs was too busy with the reform of the national salt and iron policy. Confused, Bandit Chu didn't want to make Zhao Liangyue suffer any more.There is some truth to this matter.

But when it comes to poisoning and pretending to be sick, Chu Bandit is completely selfish. He really misses the gentle and caring junior who took good care of him on the way back to Beijing before. At other times, they would argue with other officials at the court meeting, or stay busy all night in the government office, so there were very few opportunities to have a meal together.

Whenever in the warm pavilion, the emperor asked questions about salt and iron, Zhao Liangyue and Han Wenyun had disputes, and when he looked at Han Wenyun's old things more than himself, Chu Shangshu was very dissatisfied.

Whenever the six ministries discuss matters, since the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Punishment have not had major issues recently, if he does not find a reason to go up and ask a few words, Zhao Liangyue and him will not be able to speak a word for a long time, Chu Shangshu is extremely dissatisfied.

Every time after the court meeting, the group of officials, old and young, gathered around Zhao Liangyue asking questions, and when Zhao Liangyue formed a happy and relaxed atmosphere with them, Chu Shangshu was extremely dissatisfied.

Chu Shangshu wanted his younger brother to be special to him and pay more attention to himself.

When will you be special to yourself and pay more attention to yourself?

It seems that only when I am sick and injured, that special tenderness will come.

Knowing the taste by eating the marrow, how can you willingly hold the memories to resist the tide of longing?

So at the moment when the crazy horse suddenly bumped into him, Chu bandit took out the pill and ate it in confusion, and then suddenly came up with the bad idea of ​​being poisoned and pretending to be sick.

But once this bad idea was discovered, Bandit Chu had no reason to explain it, and even some of the reasons for the secret guard disappeared.

Bandit Chu's voice became extremely gentle: "Xilin."

"Since Chu Shangshu wants to act alone, why bother talking to me?" Zhao Liangyue said, without looking at Chu Bandit again, he left with Xiao Rong directly.

Xing Shuo, who had been watching the play, probably guessed the cause and effect, but he smiled and ordered Jin Luanwei to take the hidden guard away, and then deliberately came over to tease him: "Why, the little junior from the household department ran away with someone? Go chase it. "

Bandit Chu raised his fist and hit Xing Shuo on the shoulder, saying, "You're the only one who has a lot of shit."

"All right, all right, it's too much for me." Xing Shuo glanced at the figure leaving at the door, and said, "Tell me that you are too, Mr. Zhao is not a three-year-old child, but you insist on playing with those three-year-old children It's a trick, can you not make him angry? You might as well make it clear, so as to save you from guessing here and there. "

"You don't understand. As long as there is a [-]% possibility of losing, I won't try." Chu Bandit sighed softly, looked away, and asked Xing Shuo, "The dark guard will be tortured for a few days by his subordinates before trial. Tonight Go out for a drink together?"

Xing Shuo said: "No, no, I'm not alone now, there are people waiting for me at home."

Bandit Chu knew that Xing Shuo was referring to the child left by his junior sister. At that time, Wang Yunming didn't care about the relationship between husband and wife. Later, the Wang family was ordered to kill the nine clans. The news of the two lives successfully kept the child and kept him in the house.

In fact, to Xing Shuo, that child was also the last thought and redemption left to him by his junior sister.

Chu Bandit remembered that on the day when he came back from Hengen Temple, Xing Shuo escorted the hussars into the Jinluan Guards and did not allow anyone to follow him. He stood alone in the night rain all night. When he went to look for him, Xing Shuo seemed A walking dead, without a trace of life.

Chu Bandit wanted to force him into the house, but was beaten back by him, and then Chu Bandit thought that he would get angry and burst out all the grief, just like Xing Shuo when he was young, he kept holding one thing in his heart, Wait until his senior brother provokes him in the past and give him a reason to get angry, then he will be able to speak out and be relieved.

But Xing Shuo didn't say anything other than pushing Chu bandit's palm, his eyes were dull and empty, no water or rice could enter.

It wasn't until two days later that Bi'er, who had been by Junior Sister's side, appeared, begging for the child in her arms, Xing Shuo looked at the fragile life of Junior Sister's blood flowing in its swaddling baby, and a gleam of light appeared in his eyes.

Chu bandit withdrew his memory and asked Xing Shuo, "How will you face this child in the future?"

Xing Shuo said: "How else can I face it? I will tell him that his mother is the best woman in the world and loves him very much, but she accidentally left the mundane world and asked me to take good care of her favorite child."

Bandit Chu frowned slightly and asked, "What about you?"

Xing Shuo paused, but said with a smile: "She keeps that little silver hairpin all the time, that's enough."

Outside the teahouse, at the entrance of the alleyway to the north, Zhao Liangyue and Xiao Rong got into the carriage, Youbai climbed onto the roof of the carriage, and Dongchan drove the carriage out.

Xiao Rong asked: "Where does Master Zhao want to go? I'll see you off."

"Household government office."

Xiaoyuan clicked his tongue and said: "If I am frightened like Mr. Zhao today, I won't be able to rest at home for half a month without a book."

Zhao Liangyue didn't speak, but just smiled lightly.

Xiao Rong put the silk fan into the cabinet beside her, raised her head and asked Zhao Liangyue: "Master Zhao, don't you want to ask me something?"

Zhao Liangyue: "I still say that, if you don't want to, I will keep it secret for you."

Xiao Rong asked half-certainly: "So it also includes pretending to be angry with Mr. Chu today, so as to divert Mr. Zhao's attention from me?"

Zhao Liangyue nodded, thinking of the eagerness on Chu Bandit's face when he left, he frowned slightly.

Xiao Rong saw Zhao Liangyue's expression in his eyes, and smiled at the corner of his lips, not to tell the truth.
