Chapter 64: Prelude to the Crisis
Just when Jun He and the others were detoxifying in the Hong family, the Eagle Falcon Mansion was still busy.
Xia Guyu felt uncomfortable after having her first dinner in the palace, but fortunately, it just made her look a little worse. The Eagle Falcon King and the Murong clan immediately enthusiastically kept her in the palace to recuperate.
She didn't refuse either.
On this day, she got up very late, and was folding a lot of flowers in the yard to make bonsai, when a maid reported that Prince Hua was coming.
Xia Guyu frowned, she hadn't been in the palace for a long time, and this Prince Hua didn't even have any conversation with herself, so why did she come suddenly.
Excuse me?
"Gu Yu has seen Prince Hua. She saluted Mingjie.
"No need to do this, I'm about the same age as you, don't be so rusty in the future. Mingjie smiled, he was born handsome, although he missed Lan Xuan all these years and lost his love, but he also knew how to smile to please girls - and his smile was summed up by the Eagle Falcon King as "looking like a wolf ...... with a big tail".
About the same age...... Xia Guyu decided to pretend that he couldn't see that Mingjie had reached the age of establishment.
The two sat down slightly, and Mingjie asked her as usual if she was used to living in the capital, and she was not feeling well, probably because she was not used to the water and soil, so she had nothing to ask a few more friends to come over.
"Are you very familiar with Bai Youzi?" asked Ming Jie after the greetings.
Xia Guyu remembered that when he and Bai Youzi were shopping, they could always meet Mingjie, either when he went to buy fabrics, he said which color was beautiful, or which one he said was delicious when eating.
"Youzi is my only friend in the capital. Xia Guyu said.
"Do you know, what does she like?" Mingjie didn't want to hide his Sima Zhao heart at all.
"She likes purple and white, peony flowers, sweet food, and Junfeng. Xia Guyu's last sentence was a little difficult.
"Jun Feng...... He's still a kid...... You Zi just likes beauty, and I'm not worse than him. Mingjie frowned, and then said unashamedly.
ββ¦β¦β
"Eh, without further ado, let's go play with Youzi. β
ββ¦β¦β
"Miss Xia is not feeling well, and Mrs. told her not to go outside to get cold. A maid said at once.
"How can you stay in your room all the time? I'm here, let's go out for a walk. Ming Jie glanced at the maid, who was a subordinate cultivated by the Eagle Falcon King, and her martial arts skills were extremely high.
You look at her like this, how can she have a chance to connect with the person?

On the other side of the Tang Mansion, Tang Minfeng received a secret letter from his subordinates and immediately ordered someone to prepare a carriage.
The destination is an ordinary inn that can't be more ordinary.
No Inn.
The name is weird, and the dΓ©cor is inconspicuous in a row of shopping streets.
Tang Minfeng and his son took people in, it was not quiet inside, although most of the tables were empty, there were still a few tables of people drinking and eating, seeing someone bring people in, some looked at it curiously, and some simply didn't look up, anyway, they didn't feel panicked.
"Lord Tang, it's upstairs. Xiao Er came up and led the way for everyone.
Tang Minfeng followed him, Tang Qi was side by side with him, his hand already holding the hilt of the sword.
Xiao Er stopped at Tianzi 15, Tang Minfeng took the lead to enter, and there was a man in his thirties lying in front of the table, who had been angry for a long time.
"He's ......," Tang Minfeng thought about his name in his mind.
"Qingfeng. Tang Qi hurriedly answered.
The inn was not an ordinary inn at the beginning, its owner was a person with a mysterious identity, and most of the people who came and went were Jianghu people, and later they were taken over by the gods, so the guests were mostly killers.
Later, he was snatched from the Heavenly Killer by Snow Shadow, and after recognizing the Eagle Falcon King, he gave it to the prince.
As a place to gather intelligence and attract talent.
Qingfeng is a very capable subordinate of the Eagle Falcon King.
But according to common sense, he should have done a mission elsewhere at this time, and should not have appeared in the Inn, let alone be killed.
Tang Qi stepped forward to take a look, and the blood stains on the corpse had dried up.
"Look at the bloodstains, he was killed here. β
"Why did he come here? Could it be that he has already defected?" Tang Minfeng frowned, "Then his original mission ......?"
His original mission was to pick up a witness back to Beijing, who could prove that a certain court official had a close connection with the Heavenly Killing.
Where have the witnesses gone, and are they still alive?
Tang Minfeng's eyes became cold and serious.

The Hong family.
Hong Zhiyan has not been idle since he returned to the room, and his nephews and grandchildren have come to visit his uncle and grandfather one by one.
Hong Ruoting's great-grandson and Hong Zhiyan's grandchild are only eight years old, Jun He doesn't think they are all so sensible, it was arranged by Hong Yuehe or someone on purpose, and it is true that Hong Zhiyan is not allowed to rest well.
Is...... I really can't find a reason to accuse him of being naΓ―ve.
Jun He and Jun Feng were still gossiping in Hong Zhiyan's room, but they were finally annoyed by the guests who came and went, and they slipped out very unjustly.
The two of them walked around the nearby garden, enjoying the scenery in the courtyard and comparing it with the Eagle Falcon Palace.
A small figure suddenly popped out of a small road, but it was Hong Yueyun.
"Sister of the county lord, Brother Feng. He greeted the two warmly, and took out a bright and dazzling peony from behind him, "Brother Feng, this is for you." β
Jun He looked at the boy's red face, and then looked at Jun Feng's handsome face, and pulled his sleeve with righteous words.
"He's still a kid!"
Jun Feng blinked, took the flower in Hong Yueyun's hand, and handed it to Jun He.
"The flowers should be given to my sister, huh?" he said.
The boy hesitated for a moment and replied honestly: "Sister the county lord is very beautiful, but Brother Feng is even more handsome." β
Jun Feng was a little funny.
It wasn't until he saw the boy running away satisfied, that Jun He sighed leisurely: "Were you like this when you were a child?"
"No, because I haven't met a big brother who looks better than me. "Junfeng is also narcissistic once.
Jun He threw off his sleeves in disgust.
"Would you like to hint at it to his parents?" she was a little worried.
A hint of bitterness flashed in Jun Feng's smile, which was fleeting.
"You don't always think about these aspects, people just think I'm good-looking, and people who really like men don't dare to be so blatant. β

Hong Zhiyan couldn't remember the names of all the people in the Hong family, and he couldn't count how many juniors he was, so when he estimated that it was almost time for people to go back and forth, he sat down at the desk and wrote down the method of solving the poison of "Xuanyou" that he heard Hong Ruoting talk about today.
Hong Ruoting refused to disclose it, but there will inevitably be hints during the action, and Hong Zhiyan recorded it and planned to study it carefully in the future.
While he was thinking about it, another person came in, without even waiting for an announcement.
"It's rare to come back once, why don't you come out of the room again?" the tone of the visitor was provocative.
