Don't be clouded

As soon as the words fell, the faces of everyone present sank, especially Ji Bieyun.

The remaining half of the crispy peach in her hand stopped chewing, her eyes fell on the invitation card in Qingshuang's hand, and she didn't speak for a while.

Xu Yang and Dai Fengmao immediately realized that Duan Wenfu's move must have no good intentions.Only this morning did Ji Bieyun go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to sue Yushitai, and Duan Wenfu invited him to a banquet at his residence right now, which was obviously a grand banquet.

Only Fang Muzhi was at a loss.

He only knew that Ji Bieyun had been angered by the emperor after returning to Beijing, so why is he related to Yushitai again now?Is it because the things found in Chongzhou are related to Yushitai?

Young Master Fang blurted out: "What happened to Yushitai?"

Standing behind Ji Bieyun, Xu Yang solemnly wiped the ink on his hands, and replied: "I went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to sue the Yushitai in the morning, and I guess the Yushi Zhongcheng has already got the news, so I have to silence it, or try to see if there is room for change. .”

"what?!"

Fang Mu's expression was unbelievable, he hesitated to speak, he hesitated for a moment and pulled Ji Bieyun aside, and said in a low voice, "Did my father look for you today?"

Ji Bieyun withdrew from the silence, glanced at Fang Muzhi, neither admitted nor denied it.

"No wonder, no wonder the old man asked me about you today. Although it doesn't seem like he knows your life experience, I always find it strange." Master Fang was concerned about Ji Bieyun's secret, and kept his voice very soft, " Why did he look for you? Could it be because...he also wants to bring down Yushitai? You teamed up?!"

Fang Muzhi figured out the whole story by himself without the need for others to answer.

Ji Bieyun said helplessly: "It's not a good thing to be smart. I didn't want to tell you. It seems that your father planned to hide it from you, but you got involved yourself."

Young Master Fang hadn't fully accepted it yet, seeing him turn and leave, he hurriedly asked: "Then are you going to the banquet?"

This question expressed the feelings of several other people.

Dai Fengmao didn't wait for Ji Bieyun's answer, so he rubbed his fists and said, "Go to hell, I'll beat the person who came to post the post and let him go."

"Wait." Ji Bieyun called people to stop, "I'm going to the banquet."

Captain Dai turned his head with an expression of "Are you not sick?" Even Xu Yang, who was calm in his daily life, was greatly puzzled.

Fang Muzhi scolded directly: "Are you stupid?"

In fact, what Duan Wenfu meant was already obvious.

When Ji Bieyun went, he put himself in a dangerous situation, but the other party grasped his appeal and was sure that he would go.

During the period when he was sent to live in Xuanqing Mountain by Prince Xian, an assassin came to investigate his identity, found the document of Ji's family, but found no evidence that he was Liu Yunjing.

The assassin was obviously sent by Duan Wenfu, but naturally that person would not completely dispel his doubts, and every contact with him was tentative.Ji Bieyun sued Yushitai to the Ministry of Punishment this morning. After this action, even if Duan Wenfu had no evidence, he could guess that he was Liu Yunjing.

As the witness and perpetrator of the Liu family case back then, this person used the truth as bait to lure him into the urn.

But Ji Bieyun had to go, he couldn't bear to give up this opportunity to find out the truth.

"Wouldn't it be better to interrogate him after he's caught? Why did you take the initiative to fall into his trap?" Fang Muzhi was a little annoyed, "A three-year-old would never make a mistake like yours, don't be stupid!"

Ji Bieyun looked over calmly and didn't say anything, but Young Master Fang was taken aback.

"You..." Fang Muzhi seemed to understand something from this look, he suddenly remembered that Ji Bieyun came to Chenjing as Ji Yao's identity for something.

What if that matter is related to Yushitai?

With Ji Bieyun's appearance, the other two naturally understood that the young man did not make this decision out of impulse.What's more, when did Ji Bieyun's determination change because of others?

Dai Fengmao compromised a step, and suggested: "Then lead the troops?"

"No," Xu Yang replied, "It's too ostentatious. If the situation escalates, it will become a personal enmity between the general and Duan Zhongcheng, and it will be difficult to come forward to bring down Yushitai later."

"That's the reason," Ji Bieyun nodded, "Tell Qingshuang to come with me, as long as there is someone to take care of me. If I don't return overnight, it won't be too late to send someone there. Duan Wenfu on the left and right don't dare to kill me , if I die at this time, he, Yushitai, will naturally be the biggest suspect."

Dai Fengmao and Xu Yang said in unison: "What about me?"

Ji Bieyun actually had other considerations.

He said in a deep voice: "The emperor has gone to Xuanqing Temple tonight, so he may not be able to return to the palace. Naturally, the defense in the city will be a bit more slack. I will divert Duan Wenfu's attention, so you can move conveniently."

"What action?" Dai Fengmao asked.

Ji Bieyun didn't answer immediately, his eyes fell on the bow in Dai Fengmao's hand.He walked over and rubbed it twice, took the bow over, stretched out his hand and said, "Where's the arrow?"

Captain Dai quickly turned his back, and took a feathered arrow from the quiver behind him and handed it over.

He put the arrow on the bow, raised and drawn the bow familiarly, like a full moon, aimed at a tree in the distance to the north, and let go quickly.

However, the arrow failed to shoot out and was always held between his fingers.

It is a good bow.He returned the bow and arrow to Dai Fengmao and said, "Let's go as soon as it gets dark."

**

The moonlight is shining brightly tonight.

Yushi Zhongcheng's private house was brightly lit, and the excitement could be seen from the outside, and the sound of silk and bamboo was also heard by passers-by nearby.

Pedestrians were puzzled.

This house is very quiet on weekdays, and the owner is not a person who likes extravagance, why is it such a feast even though it is not a festival?What's more, Zen Master Jueming of Xuanqing Temple passed away today. Although it is not a national funeral, it can be called a pity. Why is this family so lively?

At the same time, a carriage quietly stopped at the side door.Sitting in front of the horse was Ji Zhai's servant Qingshuang, who covered most of his face with a straw hat, and after the horse came to a stop, a slender and powerful hand opened the curtain.

Ji Bieyun was dressed as casually as he was in the mansion, except for the knife on his waist, he really looked like he was here for a banquet.

After getting out of the car, he turned around and said: "Don't worry, and don't leave without authorization, just wait for me here. Maybe it will take a long time, or maybe I will come out soon, I don't know."

Qingshuang is only fifteen or sixteen this year, and looks quite immature, even though his boss has reassured him, he is still extremely nervous.He struggled and said, "Be careful in everything."

"Eh." He answered and turned around.

After knocking on the door three times, someone opened it from the inside, glanced at him, and welcomed him in without being humble.

"General Ji please."

There are lamps everywhere in Duan's mansion, illuminating every place very clearly, it doesn't seem to be an atmosphere of killing people at all.

He was led through most of the courtyard, and finally came to the courtyard where the banquet was held.This courtyard is surrounded by many guards with knives, it is impossible to count how many there are at a glance.However, in the midst of the killing, the sounds of singing and dancing became more and more clear, they were all mediocre sounds, which were incompatible with Duan Wenfu's own temperament.

Unfortunately, Ji Bieyun once thought Duan Zhongcheng was an elegant and upright person, but he didn't expect that he would be sensual in private.

Sure enough, a person cannot be judged by his appearance.

Ji Bieyun walked to the door of the room, stood outside the threshold, and saw Duan Wenfu sitting high inside the room.

Wearing casual clothes, he bent one leg and half leaned on the imperial concubine's couch, and the two beauties on the left and right were feeding him wine.Because Duan Wenfu has a good face, and his figure still retains the illusion of a clean and honest minister in the past, so he doesn't look trivial at the moment, but rather flirtatious.

Duan Zhongcheng suddenly noticed him, waved the wine cup brought to his mouth, and waved to him, "General Ji is here, come in quickly."

Ji Bieyun didn't really want to step in, it was a bit dirty inside, he was afraid of staining his shoes.

However, he silently recited the word "forbearance" several times in his heart, and went in anyway, walked to the seat reserved for him without squinting, and sat down by himself.

The dancers in front of him didn't know what kind of fragrance powder they used, but he felt it was too thick even after a distance, it made people dizzy, and he couldn't help but began to miss the deep fragrance of Guan Chen.

The sound of silk and bamboo was too lively and became noisy. In contrast, Ji Bieyun felt that the sound of chanting in Xuanqing Temple was much more pleasant.

Sure enough, after hanging out with the monk for a long time, has his mind been infected?

After the dance was over, Duan Wenfu raised his hand to signal the musician and dancer to wait first, and turned to look at him sitting on the right.

"Why does General Ji seem not very interested? To tell you the truth, this banquet was originally set up for the general, to congratulate the general on his promotion."

Ji Bieyun looked at that smiling face, and only three words flashed in his mind - "You can really pretend".

He couldn't laugh, so he just replied abruptly: "I don't like singing and dancing, so I'm not very interested."

Duan Wenfu disapproved: "Why are you suffering so much? You can't do this at such a young age. Why don't you watch a few more dances, maybe you'll like it."

After saying that, he raised his hand, and the waiting musicians and dancers started again.

Ji Bieyun likes to deal with straightforward people, Duan Wenfu is what he hates the most.Holding back his purpose and refusing to say it, and pretending to be familiar and friendly, he insisted on spending him here, trying to make him unable to get away all night.

He also took great pains to be disgusting.

He did feel more and more sick.

Music and dancing upset him, and he can't touch the food and drink on the table, so he can only sit here and suffer.

Duan Wenfu seemed to have forgotten that there was a guest sitting next to him, and only cared about enjoying himself.He drank and ate food with Meiji's hands, and finally even lay down in the arms of one of them, looking at the dancer in the center of the room, but with his hands on the waist of the beauty beside him.

It went on like this for a long time, until the flagon in front of him was empty, and he came back to his senses.

Reluctantly sitting up from the beauty's arms, Duan Wenfu looked at Ji Bieyun, who was like a wooden stake, and said with a smile: "General Ji, you haven't been close to a beautiful woman, have you?"

"It's none of Duan Zhongcheng's business, you're taking it a little too far."

Ji Bieyun thought to himself that he had even hugged Guan Chen's beauty, even if there was such a so-called beauty in the world, he would not pay attention to it.

Dust...

When he thought of Xuanqing Temple, he became more irritable, knocked down the empty wine cup, raised his eyes and asked: "Zhong Cheng invited me over to let me watch how you two are intimate?"

The gold-plated wine cup rolled from the table and fell to the ground, making a pleasant sound of gold and stone. The noise was not loud, but it cooled the atmosphere a little.
