Beautiful lady, why not follow the thief

The faint candle flame flickers on and off in the dark room, like a spring breeze when it is bright, and like a handful of hearts shaking when it is dark.

Yan Heng ran all the way to the innermost part of the corridor, and gradually slowed down when he reached the door, and finally stopped.

Sitting under the lamp in the dark room was a young man with a thin but tall figure, his back was facing the door and he was staring at the wall in a daze.Hearing the sound, the young man turned his head. When he saw the person coming, he was stunned for a moment, then looked carefully for a while, and soon his eyes became moist.

"Brother Fanghan."

Yan Heng remembered that he was still dressed in women's clothing, and couldn't help but blushed. He wiped off the red makeup on his face with his sleeve, and before he could speak, the young man jumped up and hugged him.

Yan Heng took a step back after being hit by him, then smiled softly, and patted the boy on the back.

"Brother Fanghan, are you okay?"

"Okay." Yan Heng said, "Very good."

The boy nodded, and hugged him for a while before letting go.Thinking of the attachment mood that I showed, I was also a little embarrassed.He took Yan Heng's hand into the dark room and sat down.

"Brother, I guess, you are going to Xucheng too, right?"

Yan Heng nodded.The boy showed some forbearance: "I am useless, I can't do anything."

Yan Heng shook his head again, patted his hand, and sighed: "Zhaoping, you did a good job. The palace... is extremely dangerous. After I leave Luocheng, you must take care of yourself. By the way, this time you are How did it come out? Does anyone know?"

"It's Mr. Si—that is, the imperial doctor who came to help General Ping's free consultation. He helped me. Don't worry, Mr. Si has arranged this matter properly. I will come back quickly and no one will find out."

"Is that Mr. Si reliable?" Yan Heng's brows were slightly uneasy.

"Brother," even in the dark room, the young man couldn't help lowering his voice and said close to Yan Heng's ear, "Mr. Si's father died in the Yidai Zhao incident that year."

Yan Heng was surprised for a moment, then looked at the boy, who nodded, "So Mr. Si is actually more dangerous than me."

He seemed to have mentioned something sad, and his mood was a little depressed: "Aren't you all more dangerous than me. Brother Fang Han, you must take care of yourself when you go to Xucheng!"

Yan Heng shook his head: "Walking in troubled times, no one can be called safe, Zhaoping, it is because you are so strong that all of us work hard today, stop talking about your useless words. You understand, what I do all this for. "

"I understand." The boy raised his voice and said resolutely, "Brother, I can bear it. I will wait for you in Luocheng."

Yan Heng smiled and patted his head: "Thank you for your hard work."

The young man suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, brother, when I see you this time, apart from guessing that you went to Xu Cheng to say goodbye to you, I have one more thing to tell you."

Yan Heng concentrated his attention: "Is it about... I asked you last time?"

"Yes. Xinglin Valley." The young man took out a piece of letter paper, "I, Mr. Tosi, helped me find a book in the library, which records that the last relic of Xinglin Valley is in Mobei."

"Mobei?"

"That's right." The young man frowned, "Maybe, the last secret of the witch hazel is hidden in Mobei?"

Yan Heng was also lost in thought.

Looking at his expression, the young man tentatively asked: "Is my brother still worried about that Xinglin prophecy? In my opinion, if Xinglin Valley finally appeared in Mobei, the fifth generation heir might have died long ago?"

Yan Heng frowned and shook his head, not sure whether to deny or not.

——"Xinglin's legacy, it will be extinct for five generations."

This is the last prophecy left by the fourth generation of Xinglin Valley to the world. After that, Xinglin Valley disappeared from the world without a trace.

The so-called Xinglin Legacy Art is Hamamelis Qu.Many people don't know that the "Witch Hazel" was actually created by the people of Xinglin Valley. At the beginning, it was not a sorcery, but a secret recipe for curing diseases and saving lives. It also has another name that is not very popular: Redemption Array.

And since it unexpectedly became a fearsome evil work, Xinglin Valley sent people to destroy the "Golden Hazel Song", but until the death of the fourth generation heir, they still failed to complete the task assigned by Xinglin's ancestors.However, it is rumored that she opened her eyes before she died, and left behind that prophecy, and God revealed that the task of ending this Xinglin legacy will be completed in the hands of the fifth generation.

When Yan Heng learned of this prophecy, he immediately sent someone to investigate the whereabouts of the fifth generation heir. He wanted to kill this person first, lest the prophecy would come true.

It's just that for many years, that person seemed to have evaporated along with Xinglin Valley.

The boy spread out the piece of paper in his hand and tapped the table: "Brother, read this again."

Yan Heng lowered his head, and saw a strange and complicated pattern drawn on the paper, the outline was like six stars, and there were incomprehensible characters drawn inside, like ancient characters, and it might be a Taoist spell or something.

"This is the pattern I planned to draw based on the description in the book and some incomplete pictures. It is said that the heirs of Xinglin Valley will have such tattoos on their bodies. Most of them are on the left arm. Brother, you can send someone to pay more attention to it." .”

Yan Heng picked up the paper and looked at it carefully for a long time, remembered the tattoo in his mind, nodded and said, "Thank you very much."

In the only room with lights on behind the Huxin Pavilion, Ping Huyue sat alone in front of the desk reading. He noticed a black shadow in front of the window, and stood there quietly listening to the movement in the room.

Unfortunately, there was no movement in the house.

The black shadow was naturally Xiao Xie, he was obviously not someone who would wait in the corridor in peace, Yan Heng followed him as soon as he left, what surprised him at this time was not that there was no movement inside, but that Ping Huyue was sitting there alone.

This clearly shows that the person Yan Heng came to see tonight is not Pinghuyue?

So who could it be, and who could it be?

A character who can even leave Pinghuyue alone, what kind of relationship does this person have with Yan Heng?

It's hard for Xiao Xie to imagine that the only son of the Yan family on the twelfth floor who is bedridden and has not seen the light for many years has so many secrets.

However, as long as anyone has lived for a few years, who doesn't have any secrets in him.

Xiao Xie stood by the window for a while, and suddenly heard someone in the room calling: "Here you are, come in and have a seat."

At this time, there were only him, Heping, and Huyue here, and he did not hide his actions at all, so these words were obviously directed at him.He was not polite either, he just pushed open the window and came in.

There is also a main window behind Pinghuyue, the window is carved, and the moonlight shines in through the window paper. Pinghuyue made a gesture of invitation to Xiaoxie against the light.

Xiao Xie walked over to him and sat down. Ping Huyue poured him a cup of tea and pushed him down in front of him.He lowered his head and continued reading.

Xiao Xie didn't even have a sitting position, leaning against the back of the chair, with one leg still standing on the edge of the stool, he casually moved the tea in front of him to the side.

Pinghuyue's hand turning over the book suddenly stopped.

He raised his head, as if he wanted to ask something, but was interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps outside the corridor.Ping Huyue frowned, he told him not to come here to disturb him if it was not important.

The person who came was a secret agent from Pingfu, who came in after pushing the door open, took a quick look at Xiao Xie, then walked quickly to Pinghuyue's side, whispered a few words in his ear, and Pinghuyue's expression changed immediately.

At this moment, Xiao Xie had put his legs up too much on the table, and was lying on his back on the chair. The chair stood up with two legs, and only relied on the other two legs to make a little contact with the ground to maintain balance. I don't know if he is How to maintain this posture.He even controlled the chair to shake comfortably, and said leisurely: "What's the matter, Ping Junhou, is there any bad luck, tell me?"

The corner of Pinghuyue's mouth twitched, and he looked at him and said, "You'd better drink two more sips of good tea, so you can get on the road later."

"It's getting late, Zhaoping, for safety's sake, you should go back."

Yan Heng stood up and took two steps towards the door of the secret room.

"Brother Fang Han..." The young man also stood up together, and before the two could say goodbye, they heard the sound of the opening of the mechanism at the other end of the corridor, followed by the sound of heavy footsteps.

The two turned their heads together and saw Ping Huyue coming in alone. Yan Heng thought he was also here to urge Zhaoping, so he said, "Ping Junhou, I'm leaving now."

Ping Huyue frowned tightly and said: "Lord Yan, you should go, but instead of going back to the twelfth floor, you should leave for Xucheng immediately, if you don't leave, you will be in trouble."

Zhaoping and Yan Heng said in surprise together: "What's going on?"

Pinghuyue shook his head: "Cangya Mountain has already learned about your movements on the twelfth floor, and will take action tonight. I'm not sure if they know that you are in my general's mansion at this time, but I asked Yulou where you are?" I can't go back, I'm leaving tonight!"

Yan Heng also showed a trace of worry: "How come they are so fast? They shouldn't..."

Zhaoping also became nervous: "If this is the case, brother, you have to leave Luocheng quickly, otherwise it will be difficult to leave after tonight. You must hide your whereabouts when you go there. If they catch you from the beginning , it's really not good."

Yan Heng said: "But Yeyin and Liushang..."

Ping Huyue said: "I will find a way to inform them to join you. Now that you are leaving, the fewer people there are, the better. You can take the person outside the door and walk through the Anhua Gate. Don't go through the Hulao. Go around a little farther away. , go to Xingyang, and enter Xucheng along the Sishui River. I will prepare the carriage, dry food and money for you now."

Yan Heng took two steps on the spot, and in a short moment, countless thoughts and calculations passed through his mind, and finally he gritted his teeth: "Okay."

Zhaoping shook Yan Heng's hand and said, "Brother, be careful on the road and be safe."

Yan Heng said: "Don't worry."

Yan Heng and Ping Huyue came out of the tunnel first. Xiao Xie had been waiting for a long time, and probably learned a little about the situation, with a rare serious face on his face.Seeing him, Yan Heng seemed to have something to say but didn't know how to say it. Since he didn't have much time, he had to swallow it for now, and only said to Ping Huyue: "Ping Junhou, you also take care of yourself."

When the two of them left the house, the carriage prepared by Pinghuyue was already in place. The driver was the former spy. Yan Heng and Xiao Xie got into the carriage. The driver raised his whip and the wheels rolled away.Yan Heng picked up the car and glanced back, Ping Huyue cupped his hands and said: "Lord Yan, goodbye."

The carriage drove out of the General's Mansion, followed by Pinghuyue's military order, and the three of them drove out of Anhua Gate smoothly along the quiet and deserted streets.

Yan Heng closed his eyes and leaned back in the car, feeling a little uneasy, and repeatedly opened the curtain to look at the moon, as if he was calculating the time.Xiao Xie heard him muttering to himself: "Ninth day, ninth day..."

"What happened to the ninth day?" He asked.

Yan Heng didn't answer, but showed some bad emotions on his face.

Xiao Xie grabbed Yan Heng's hand and found that it was unbearably cold, so she squeezed it into her palm to cover him, and said, "Don't worry, Master Yan, I'm still here."

After a long time, Yan Heng finally gave a light "hmm".
