He's not thirteen, and he doesn't do it until he's sure nothing goes wrong. He just needed an opportunity. Mr. He guessed that he was hiding something else, but he did not guess that he was so bold as to suddenly rebel without any preparation.

After Eleven left, several guards from the Hou Mansion immediately moved and prepared to chase after him. Xia Haojun was so sophisticated, he quickly figured out Eleven's intentions from the situation in front of him in an instant, and shouted to the guards in the mansion: "Give me all back!" ”

The guard asked suspiciously, "He has been provoked to our Hou Mansion, why don't you arrest him back?" ”

"Even if you catch up, you're no match for him." Xia Haojun's gaze fell on the two corpses left behind, "All return to their positions and stand at their respective posts." That man just got into some trouble and used us to get out. In extraordinary times, there is not much to do - these two bodies are also brought back. ”

In the eyes of the servant, the dead man hides many secrets. There are experienced servants in the Hou Mansion, and they are very idle at the moment, unlike the busy guards.

Xia Haojun ordered not to pursue, but he didn't plan to let go of Eleven. Many people have made up their minds about the marquis, and with various purposes, they have tried to use the power of the marquis to explain the trouble, and no one dares to take advantage of it in this way. He let Eleven leave because things mattered. After the identity of the body is ascertained, the person who escaped can be found by touching the vine.

The most critical thing at the moment is the movement on the side of Cumulus Temple. If Nangong Xue goes to visit the patient, there will inevitably be other actions. Xia Haojun couldn't rest assured, so he sent Zhanqin to follow her. One is to monitor her, and the other is to make it convenient for multiple people to deal with a temporary situation.

And Nangong Xue Ruo saw Zhan Qin following, and was even more sure of her guess: if Guo Maohuai was really in the Hou Mansion, Xia Haojun would only pick a few capable ordinary guards to monitor her, instead of sending Zhan Qin to come in person to weaken the defense force in the mansion.

Lin Yu was summoned by Lan Lie early in the morning and took an ordinary envelope. Through the hazy morning light, you can see that the fire paint of the seal has the seal of the Marquis of Dingguo.

"Send it to the palace." Lan Lie commanded lightly, without explaining what was inside.

The things that Hou Ye personally ordered were extremely important. Lin Yu said goodbye after getting down, rode down the mountain on a fast horse, and galloped in the direction of the palace. Twenty-four in advance one night in ambush outside the temple, seeing him rushing out in a hurry, he expected that the matter was important, and he followed him down the mountain. Eleven had analyzed to her that if Guo Maohuai was really in Cumulus Temple, with Lan Lieting's means, he would definitely pry something out of his mouth; Moreover, the content that was pried out must not be known to Nangong Xueruo.

He guessed exactly right. What Lin Yu took away was Guo Maohuai's handwritten confession in recent days. Lan Lietian only got his hands on it yesterday, and after reading it, he chatted with Guo Maohuai for a long time, used a cinnabar pen to outline the key points and annotations, and then sealed them with fire paint. At that time, it was already dawning, and he did not delay for a moment, and immediately ordered Lin Yu to be sent to the palace.

Seeing that the letter was sent out, Guo Maohuai's heart was finally relieved, and he lost his strength when he walked to the door. He no longer held on, and simply leaned against the door frame and slowly sat on the ground, his expression showing a little relief and more confusion after losing his goal. Lan Lietian also didn't sleep all night, but he didn't see a little tiredness in his demeanor, rubbing the wolf hair in his palm, and his eyes were shining.

To the east, a red sun jumped out of the horizon. Half of the world is bathed in golden sunlight, and the other half is covered in distorted and elongated shadows. The two old monks left behind in Cumulus Temple rang the morning bell and began to do morning classes.

Guo Maohuai listened to the sound of the wooden fish, and said coldly: "Even if he gets my confession, Master Hou may not be able to move that person." ”

Lan Lie shrugged: "Whether you can or can't is a matter of Benhou, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

Guo Maohuai was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, laughing almost breathlessly: "That's right." Whatever you want to do, it's none of my business. It's a pity that I, Guo Maohuai, have been busy all my life, **** was frightened, and I only realized when I ended up like this: The battle of the world is the business of your royal people, from beginning to end, I am just an outsider! ”

Lan Lietian looked at it coldly, completely ignoring it, so he couldn't help laughing. He laughed for a long time before he stopped, stared at the rising sun and asked, "Now that I am useless, when is Master Hou going to take my life?" ”

"If you're not lucky enough, this is your last sunrise. Enjoy. Lan Lie said indifferently. After Nangong Xueruo arrived at Cumulus Temple, Guo Maohuai would completely lose his use value, and life and death would be out of his consideration.

Although the rising sun is not violent, the sunlight is still a little scorching after staring at it for too long. Guo Maohuai was reluctant to look away, blinked his eyes and continued to stare at it, as if he wanted to firmly imprint the scene in front of him in his mind. He didn't look back, turned his back to Lan Lie and asked, "When the East Palace fell off the horse, why did the Hou Ye refuse to return to Beijing?" ”

Lan Lietian didn't expect him to ask about the old things, and after a pause, he replied cryptically: "Whether Ben Hou entered the capital at that time or not, today's events will not make a difference. ”

Guo Maohuai shook his head. After many days of changes, he is now white, and his expression is quite sad: "For Guo, it is a world of difference." If it was Hou Ye who was at the head of the court, I, Guo Maohuai, would not have ended up today. "The head of the court naturally refers to sitting on the dragon chair. If it wasn't Xia Jingze sitting in that position, but Lan Lietian, he Guo Maohuai might not be a dying prisoner today, but a loyal minister of the prisoner.

The difference between loyalty and treachery is only in a thought. Just like good and evil, there is never a very clear line.

Lan Lie's expression did not change, and he deliberately distorted the meaning of his words: "Even if there is no Guo Maohuai, there will be Li Maohuai, Zhang Maohuai, Wang Maohuai, ......" The dynasty has changed, but people's selfish desires have never changed, and there are not a few people like Guo Maohuai, and there will be at any time.

Guo Maohuai sighed leisurely, and his tone suddenly became sarcastic: "It turns out that Hou Ye actually thinks like this." Right now, you're gracious, and in a few years, I'm afraid you'll be as good as me. "Dingguohou's methods and courage are all superior, which makes him deeply impressed. It's a pity that there is no one in this person's eyes.

"I won't worry about the aftermath of the funeral, Lord Guo." Lan Lie replied lightly, no longer accompanied him to play with him, and turned to leave.

"After the death, hehe." Guo Maohuai chuckled lowly twice, and his expression suddenly turned desolate.

Lin Yu was simple-minded, when he left Cumulus Temple, it was not yet dawn, and he didn't expect to be ambushed at all. When he reached the vicinity of the place where the twenty-four people had been ambushed in advance, suddenly someone flashed out of the roadside with his face covered, and without saying a word, he pounced directly and slashed at the horse's leg. Lin Yu couldn't react in time, he couldn't dodge, and the two front hooves of the fast horse under the seat were suddenly bloodily separated from the body.

The horses neighed, leaning forward by inertia, and looked like they were about to fall. Lin Yu threw away the reins, jumped to the side on the back of the horse, and finally did not fall. The poor horse was trampled on by him, and rushed directly to the ground, lying on the ground and never getting up again, but convulsing and screaming.

Before Lin Yu could catch his breath, Twenty-Four had already pounced. The weapon she used was a pair of Emei thorns, petite and soft, agile and agile, and the moment she looked at her face, she snatched the letter that Lin Yu was carrying in her arms with a hook of her fingers, and raised her hand to throw it to her masked companion who cut off the horse's legs. The masked companion took the letter and retreated to the periphery without hesitation. Lin Yu was so frightened that his face turned white, and he was about to chase after him with a knife. Twenty-four is willing to give him a chance and stand up to stop him.

The location of the ambush was specified in advance by Eleven.

Lin Yu was a person that Lan Lietian focused on cultivating, and if he was killed rashly, causing Lan Lietian's anger, it would also be a big trouble for the idle pavilion. Twenty-four rarely survived in her previous missions, and she wasn't sure if she was going to kill the killer, so she looked around for Eleven's sign. He had said he would leave her a code.

But when she saw the code on the tree, she was shocked, and Emei almost flew away: Eleven's code clearly meant goodbye, and it was the most complete farewell: it would only be used when all the members of the mission were dead and the mission was completely failed.

Twenty-four was not stupid, she didn't believe Eleven would die like this: if even Eleven died, no one would draw this code; If Eleven were still alive, the code would have made no sense. Thinking of the hint of Eleven before the separation, she understood: Eleven had left safely, and this code was actually an invitation for her.

After thinking it through, she no longer hesitated, and several locations quickly crossed over her mind, guessing where Eleven might go.

Lin Yu's mind was on the letter that was snatched away, and he was so anxious that he found that she was distracted, and he was even more polite with every move, and he couldn't wait to slash her with a knife and hurry up to chase the letter. After Twenty-Four guessed the meaning of Eleven, he made up his mind to look for him, and naturally he no longer planned to work for Xiange, so he simply dodged away and made way. Lin Yu was slightly stunned, intuitively suspecting that there was fraud. But if you delay a little longer, I'm afraid that the letter will be ruined! He didn't think much of it, and hurriedly chased in the direction of the masked man.

Twenty-four went in the opposite direction, walking in the same hurry.

At this time, Eleven had changed into Confucian clothes, and his hair was curled into the common style of scholars. He even bought a folding fan and held it in his hand, and from the outside, it was no different from the self-proclaimed son-in-law in the capital. From today on, he has his own name, called Xiao Yuange. The eleventh of the idle pavilion has never been saved.

When Twenty-Four came here, when he saw his clothes in the wind, his face began to burn, and he instinctively wanted to hide. She wore a gray shirt that was easy to move around, and it was stained with dust, and she didn't have the graceful appearance of her daughter's family at all. Xiao Yuange called her out loud, and his voice was low: "I thought about it, and I felt that I had to say goodbye to you." ”

Twenty-four didn't expect what he was going to say, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed: "If you want to go, leave, say goodbye!" Aren't you afraid that I will repay Mr. He? ”

Xiao Yuange looked at her and said sincerely: "In addition, I want to ask you, would you like to go with me?" "He liked this girl very much. From the tenderness that saw through the depths of her eyes, or from the time she saw her desperate appearance in the knockout tournament of this year; Or maybe earlier. A wisp of affection, I don't know when it sprouts in the heart, and one branch and one leaf grows into a flourishing tree. For this mission, she was originally chosen because she was expected not to be a stumbling block to him. When Ke Shun Lì got out of the Hou Mansion, what came to mind was her face. So he turned back and asked these words.

Twenty-four had never seen his sincere appearance, he was in a trance, and when he came back to his senses, he suddenly blushed, and couldn't help but take two steps towards him.

Xiao Yuange was not in a hurry, and said clearly word by word: "From now on, Xian Ge and I will share the sky, and now Eagle Hall will soon send someone to chase after me." In three years, if Xiange can't kill me, he will be razed to the ground by me one day. You are gone with me now, and you will have another peaceful day. If you want to leave in peace, turn around and go back at once, and report my defection to Mr. He. He was too busy dealing with the Marquis of Dingguo to pay attention to me. By the time he had this spare time, I would have gone away. Then you can go to Thirteen, and he will have a way for you to live an ordinary life. ”

Twenty-four shook his head, walked up to his side almost without hesitation, and stood side by side with him in silence. She naturally knew what Thirteen was thinking, but she had never had the luxury of living an ordinary life, she had been praying for standing by this person's side since six years ago, and when the opportunity finally came in front of her, how could she give up?

Seeing her choice, Xiao Yuange's expression was a little complicated, a warm current flowed through his heart, and finally turned into a leisurely smile on his face, and his attitude was even more rare and gentle: "Do you remember your name before entering the cabinet?" ”

She continued to shake her head.

Xiao Yuange smiled even more: "Follow me in the future, you can't do it without a name." I've got one for you, with my surname Xiao and my name Weilan. How is it? Without waiting for her to react, he immediately added: "If you don't like it, you can think again, there are many choices for family names, think clearly and then answer." ”

In confusion, she saw the banter in Xiao Yuange's eyes, and suddenly understood what he meant: When a woman from Qiguo marries, she wants to change her husband's surname. Her face was red all the time, and she lowered her head quickly, her voice as low as a gnat, but she could hear it clearly: "I like it very much." ”

Xiao Yuange took her hand and smiled a little deeper: "Then it's decided." Let's go, I'm afraid I'll be buried here when it's too late. ”

Twenty-four followed his pace, only to feel that the whole person was fluttering, as if he was about to fly.

When Nangong Xueruo arrived at Cumulus Temple, Lan Lietian was lying on the bamboo couch, his eyes were lightly closed, and his breathing was long, as if he was asleep.

She didn't alarm him, and sat down next to her silently. She didn't know if Thirteen had come with her, and she didn't know how Cumulus Temple was arranged. What she knew was that if the people from the idle pavilion were to enter the temple, it would definitely take time. Lan Lie was awake, it wasn't a good thing for them. As for where Guo Maohuai is hiding, the area of Cumulus Temple is not large, and when they come in, they can find it lightly, and there is no need for her to take the risk of interfering at all.

Lan Lietian was not asleep, and when he heard the movement in a hazy way, he knew that it was her. He didn't open his eyes, he still lay still: the most troubled battle had not yet begun, and he needed to recuperate.
