The cigarette smoke curls in the Buddhist hall, and the Bodhisattva treasure on the shrine is solemn.

Sitting on the futon, Ling Xiang was full of thoughts.

Shangguan You's investigation of King Law has been investigating for more than two months, and although it cannot be said that nothing has been found, it can be said that there has been no substantial progress at all.

Especially in the recent public opinion guidance in the capital, no matter what tricks Shangguan You and King Yuyang and others had, they all fell behind.

They also ordered people to pretend to be beggars and homeless people to speak ill of the law king on the street, and they were beaten by the people many times, not to mention spreading rumors, it would be good to be able to save their lives.

Today's Law Prince's Mansion is full of people, and it will not turn away officials as it did in the past.

Even Lu Meng'en and many neutral courtiers became frequent visitors to the Law Palace, and the King of Yuyang reluctantly explained

"He is an auxiliary king, and he is also the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he is the mentor of this year's new science and technology scholars, and it is obviously not appropriate to refuse to be visited by officials...... It's common to be lively. ”

Obviously, the king of Yuyang is the emperor of King Lu, and his resistance is getting weaker and weaker, and there is probably even a little dispensable meaning in his subconscious.

This kind of atmosphere in the court makes it difficult for Shangguan You to distinguish which ones are the best friends of King Lu and which ones are the periphery - not to mention that in King Law's Mansion, the eavesdropping methods of the Military Governor's Court have long been chicken ribs.

Ling Xiang thought of the day when King Lu's Tanabata night was shining, and it was also the beginning of not being able to contact Rong Xijue, everything obviously fell into his calculations, but he was so helpless......

In a trance, the night quietly covered the land.

Sitting in the room, the moonlight seeped in from the high sill window like frost and snow, adding countless sorrows and farewells.

The weather is getting colder and colder, Rong Xijue has been missing for so long, can he really be fine?

began to suspect this, and Ling Makeup couldn't settle down anymore.

***

At the same time, the Flower Pavilion of King Li's Mansion was not as lively as Ling Xiang imagined.

Above the old ondol, there is a huge hollow round window, which will be covered with the lightest and thinnest carved mallet in summer, and after autumn and winter, it will be filled with denser window drawers, and two layers of thick window paper will be pasted inside and outside.

In the past two years, the glass in the palace has been circulated, and the craftsmen of the Luwang Mansion have long prepared the best glass window drawers for the master.

But the law king stopped.

Because he likes to look at the moon.

Just look at it unobstructed.

It was another moon-watching night, and only a young man with a flat face stood under the lampstand by the kang with his head bowed.

The candlelight stretched his shadow long, twisting and jumping slightly, and his gaze kept falling on the half-leaning and half-lying person on the kang, his eyes were extremely complex, and the worship was mixed with pity, and the appreciation seemed to be a little charming......

The moonlight shone through the unobstructed round window and fell on the king, enveloping him in a white silver light.

The boy looked beautiful and holy, and the vast light seemed to emanate from him.

In the mind of the flat face, this master not only has the most beautiful face, but also the supreme mind and skill, and sorrow should not stop on his face that deceives the frost and snow, but it backfires, and when the king is alone, he is always depressed.

There was a long queue of people in the front hall who asked to see him, and even, there was a person who played a pivotal role in the court, and the housekeeper was not allowed to walk on the water corridor again and ran to the Huaqu Pavilion to ask for his life.

He walked so fast that he didn't realize that there were several dark figures hiding behind him.

Finally walked to the water pavilion, two attendants stood solemnly in front of the net bottle door, and the housekeeper greeted them.

From the front hall, the black shadow that had always crept behind him climbed to the top of the cloister like a raccoon cat, and floated down the ridge of the glazed tile roof above the moon cave window that showed light.

The three of them stood in a triangular position, and with a little probing, they could clearly see the young man lying in front of the window.

They exchanged excited looks, and one of them slowly raised his hand.

The housekeeper was allowed to enter, planted the seedlings and knelt down and said, "Lord Qi, Yan Guogong asks to see you." ”

The voice of the King of Law sounded: "Oh?"

Although it was only one sound, it was also drunk.

The three men on the ridge were unmoved, and the other two had untied the black cloth wrapped around their weapons.

To assassinate the King of Law, they didn't even dare to bring weapons into their sheaths, which can be described as prudent.

Another surprised voice sounded in the room: "What is my father doing at this time?

The three of them were stunned at the same time.

Father?

Is there someone in the house called Yan Guogong's father?

Yan Guogong is Liu Tong, and they all know that Liu Tong does not have a son now, and his son seems to have been dead for several years.

How could there be a grown son?

The three of them looked at each other, and they heard the king of law say, "You might as well go and invite your father in." ”

The unfamiliar voice agreed, and went out of the house with the butler.

The man who raised his hand looked at the moon and realized that the hour was not early, his eyes sank, and he waved his hand down.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime good time, when he bumped into him alone when he touched the Law King's Mansion for the first time, if he didn't do it at this time, when would he stay?

On the ridge of the roof, a flash of fire flashed, and a gunshot rang out that pierced the night.

The other two pounced on the boy who was lazy in front of the window with lightning speed.

After a shot, prepare the mending knife at the same time.

There was a commotion in King Law's mansion, and the guards hurried to the Flower Fun Pavilion.

However, the two attendants in front of the door stopped when they reached a place where they could see the situation in the cabinet.

The three black-clothed night raiders had a good technique and good cooperation, but in the shadow of the sword and sword, King Law came and went like a ghost in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, he put a knife, a sword and a double-sided hand axe in his palm, and said with a proud smile: "I won't kill you, you will die instead!"

The three of them couldn't move as if they had been immobilized, and after a strange twist of their bodies, they fell to the ground one after another, but they still maintained a stiff posture.

Only then did the chamberlain step forward and uncover their veils one by one.

King Law seemed to have expected who it was, and there was no trace of surprise in his expression, but some regret and pity.

After a while, Liu Tong and the flat-faced teenager arrived.

Liu Tong saw the three people who fell to the ground, raised his head and laughed.

"Li Xingxian, Xiao Jin, Bili, did you have your own lard or did that girl order you to come?"

Ashina Bili's eyes were cracked, and he scolded: "If you want to kill, you will kill, betray the Lord and seek glory!"

Liu Tong glanced at King Law, who was still reclining on the kang, and saw that his face was expressionless, and he didn't seem to mind his play, and sneered: "Turning his back on the lord to seek glory?

Ashina Bili didn't bother to pay attention to what he said, just took another sip.

Liu Tong seemed to be looking for an outlet to vent, took two steps forward and lifted him up from the ground, looked him directly into his eyes, gritted his teeth and said: "Despicable minion, do you know that I, Liu Tong, originally had five sons! Five! It was he Rong Xijue who led the troops to attack our people at night, slaughtering my mother, my wife, and my children. )
