Chapter 128

Pei Xuan stayed in Yan Zhaohua's Qingque House for more than an hour, the two seemed to have endless words, as if they were not tired at all as long as they looked at each other, and stayed for a while and for a while, and finally when they had children, Pei Xuan had to leave, one window in and one outside the window, holding hands crookedly, Pei Xuan said: "When your father goes to Prince Gong's Mansion, I will do my best to hire Geng Tie." ”

Yan Zhaohua nodded: "Well, I'll wait for you." ”

Pei Xuantan came over and kissed her on the forehead: "I'm really leaving." If you don't leave, it'll be dawn. ”

Yan Zhaohua was amused by his words: "Be careful, since my father noticed it last time, there are more guards in the house." ”

Pei Xuan also felt that the Changning Houfu had indeed been guarded a lot more recently, but he didn't want Yan Zhaohua to worry, so he only comforted: "Don't worry, you won't be discovered." ”

The two said goodbye again, Pei Xuancai stepped out of the windowsill, took out a black scarf from his placket, covered his face, turned around and disappeared into the night.

Pei Xuan returned according to the original path, he walked many times on this road, and there was no problem, but he didn't expect that tonight it was the palace guard of Changning Houfu, it turned out that Yan Xiu had arranged a group of guards on the roof since he found out that it was not very peaceful, and all of them were guarded on the roof from Hai Shi to the dawn of the next day, Pei Xuan had not yet arrived at Hai Shi when he came, so he didn't notice this, but now he is blocking it, fortunately Pei Xuan is good, and he has a black scarf on his face, so he did not expose his identity.

"Someone, catch the assassin!"

A loud call, Yan Xiu also rushed out of the house, these days, he always felt that the Hou Mansion was not peaceful inside and outside, Xu was to cultivate a lot of soldiers' intuition on the battlefield, so he was extremely sensitive, sensitive, cautious, he always felt that the people who swept the Changning Hou Mansion last time would come again, but the person was too good, and did not leave any clues, Yan Xiu stopped several times and did not stop, then he remembered to send someone to monitor on the roof, but he didn't expect to really catch him.

For a while, the torches of Changning Houfu were bright, and the guards all rushed towards the source of the sound with weapons. Pei Xuan's light skills are good, and his skills are also very good, the key is that he doesn't want to hurt people, but it is not so simple for the guards of Changning Houfu to catch him, Yan Xiu saw this, so he took the long sword in the hands of the guards on the side, went into battle in person, and fought with the masked Pei Xuan.

Pei Xuan said to Yan Xiu, it's not that he can't beat it, it's just that he can't fight! Who is this, the future Lord Taishan, although he has a history of murder and frame-up, but that was before the relationship with Zhaohua was determined, and now the relationship is confirmed, and what should be said has been said, if you do it to him again, it will be too much, therefore, Pei Xuan was forced to retreat step by step by Yan Xiu, and he was about to lose, Pei Xuan said in his heart that it would definitely not work like this, continue to fight, the situation will be very unfavorable to him, firstly, his identity is special, not many people in Beijing know, once exposed, there are countless troubles, and secondly, Pei Xuan cannot guarantee it, If he continues to fight, he will not be caught by Yan Xiu if he is so restrained.

A quick battle is the right reason, simply found a flaw in Yan Xiu, and directly went to block a sword swung by Yan Xiu, after the flaw was revealed, Yan Xiu looked at the sword in his hand on the back of the assassin's hand, and then received a punch in the shoulder, he couldn't help but hold his shoulder and take two steps back, seeing that the assassin was about to run, Yan Xiu shouted: "Don't let him run." ”

But when he shouted, Pei Xuan had already calculated the route, and he lost his good temper when he treated those entangled guards, and after a rage, he broke out of the encirclement, flew up to the roof again, avoided the two guards on the roof ridge, and swept in the opposite direction, the two guards on the roof hurriedly chased over, Yan Xiu also turned over on the roof, and watched the man in black disappear into the darkness, his two guards were obviously not opponents, and his foot stepped heavily on the roof ridge, and the tiles cracked in response to the sound and rolled down to the yard, A female voice pulled Yan Xiu's attention back.

I saw Yan Zhaohua's hair tied in a bun behind her head, and she walked out of the porch in a regular nightgown, and the tiles suddenly fell down, startling her.

Yan Xiu jumped down and said to Yan Zhaohua, "Why did you get up?" It didn't hurt, did it? ”

Yan Zhaohua's eyes looked at the courtyard now, and made sure that Pei Xuan didn't catch these people, so he calmed down a little, and replied to Yan Xiu: "I heard the shouting, I don't worry about my father, so I came over to take a look, I'm not hurt, is my father okay?" Is there an Assassin coming? ”

Yan Xiu looked up twice, knowing that he couldn't catch the person this time, he was really annoyed, but he was afraid of scaring his daughter, so he pointed to Yan Zhaohua's study, and the father and daughter went in to talk, and Uncle Yan continued to mobilize the guards in the courtyard to set up defenses.

"I don't know if it's an assassin, this person has come several times, and he didn't hurt anyone, I don't know what the ultimate goal is. You should also be careful when you go in and out these days, our Hou Mansion has been too strong recently, and some people are jealous, so you must stay guarded and be more careful when you travel. Yan Xiu thought about it, and felt that someone came to spy on him, it must be because of the recent promotion of Changning Houfu, and the relationship between the limelight and the limelight caused some people to be red, and they wanted to secretly use some small means.

When Yan Zhaohua heard Yan Xiu's suspicions, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said with a calm expression: "Yes, my daughter must be more careful, and so is my father, so must not be taken advantage of." ”

Since Yan Xiu is so suspicious, then Yan Zhaohua is also happy to guide him like this, and it is better to let Yan Xiu doubt others than to make him doubt Pei Xuan. Yan Zhaohua himself felt a little ashamed that he began to help others calculate his father's affairs before he got married, but ...... Who asked her to maintain Pei Xuan's image.

During this period of communication, Yan Zhaohua gradually understood Pei Xuan's interest in work, ostensibly as a civil servant in the cabinet, but secretly he helped the emperor deal with some more difficult problems, these problems must be dealt with, there must be a secret identity, and Pei Xuan has been weak since he was a child, and he is very talented in literature, no one would have thought that such a 'weak' scholar would do those things behind his back, so to sum up, Pei Xuan's identity must not be exposed.

At this moment, Yan Bo reported outside the door that the people who had been chasing the assassin had returned, and Yan Xiu walked out and said to Yan Zhaohua as he went, "It's too late, you go back first." It's good that I'm here, don't worry, there are a lot of guards in the house, up and down, and I'll transfer some from the patrol camp tomorrow to catch the assassin. ”

After saying this, without waiting for Yan Zhaohua to react, Yan Xiu stepped out of the door, and the two guards knelt under the corridor: "Master Hou, that person's feet are too fast, and his subordinates can't keep up." ”

This was expected, and Yan Xiu never thought that these two guards could catch up with such a master: "In which direction is he going?" Where have you been following? "Even if you don't chase it to the end, if you chase it for a while, maybe you can have some clues.

But the two guards glanced at each other, and one of them clasped his fists and said: "The subordinates first chased east, but after a while, the man disappeared, and it seemed that he had reversed the direction, but ...... We didn't catch him, we split up to chase him, and we didn't see him running in any direction. ”

When Yan Zhaohua came out, he heard them say this, and the hanging heart was finally put down, and then he blessed Yan Xiu's body, and went back to Qingqueju from the corridor on the left.

In the corridor, Yan Xiu and they are still continuing to analyze.

Yan Bo said: "Master Hou, I think that assassin, he may not be an assassin, at the beginning, he didn't use all his strength against us at all, if it is an assassin, how can the guards of the Hou Mansion not be injured if he is like that?" ”

Yan Xiu also agreed with Yan Bo's words, of course he noticed that the assassin was very merciful to him, and even in the end, he showed his flaws, he just reached out and blocked it, obviously there was a chance to let him fight back and let him get hurt, but the person didn't, he only fought to get hurt himself, it seems that his purpose is not to kill or hurt people, maybe he is just here to monitor, and he has not received the order to kill or hurt people......

Yan Xiu couldn't help but think back to the scene at that time in his mind, looking at the figure, it should be a young man, looking at the entire capital, there are not many young people with such skills, even in the military camp, they may not be able to find such a thing, there are a few in the army, but those few people have no grievances against him, so why do such a thing?

Yan Xiu suspected many people in his mind, even the mighty Hou Tan Cheng suspected it, but in the end, he found that all his suspicions were unfounded thoughts, random guesses, and thinking about it, he felt that it was too bizarre.

And a few miles away from Changning Houfu, Pei Xuan leaned under a flowering plum tree, uncovered the black cloth on his face, exhaled a big mouthful of white mist, in the cold winter, he actually made him want to take off his clothes hot, looked down at the wound on the back of his hand, and showed a wry smile on his face, people say that peony flowers die, and ghosts are also romantic, at the beginning he didn't understand the meaning of that sentence, but now he understands a little, in order to steal incense and steal jade, he really fights.

However, thinking of that piece of incense that was as soft as jade, Pei Xuan felt that no matter how good he was, it was worth it. After making sure that those people didn't follow, Pei Xuan calmed down and set foot on the way home.
