Because considering that Luo Yang might also follow, Dongfang Shuo didn't dare to approach the corridor, once he could detect Luo Yang's existence, then Luo Yang would also be able to detect his existence.

Although I still don't understand why I want to hide from the emperor, after all, it is the meaning of Autumn Leaf White, and Dongfang Shuo just does it.

And at this distance, there are several layers of walls separating it, Dongfang Shuo can't detect the breath of the hall at all, let alone the content of their communication, he can only vaguely hear the sound of squirming conversation, but he can't hear the content clearly.

In desperation, Dongfang Shuo could only crouch on the window railing and look out.

I have to say that the scenery in the autumn mansion is really similar to the spring scenery seen at the entrance to the Imperial Garden.

This couldn't help but make Dongfang Shuo wonder, could it be that the rich people in the Longlin Imperial City like to play like this, and build a scene like spring in their own homes, this should be some kind of special formation.

However, Dongfang Shuo still prefers autumn to spring.

The autumn leaves are bleak and the autumn wind is gusting, which can make him feel at ease.

"I don't know if I can return to Qingzhou next autumn. ”

He groaned.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard behind him.

The sound of footsteps originated in the corridor, and the sound of unhurried footsteps passed through the closed door and reached Dongfang Shuo's ears.

He couldn't make out the owner of the footsteps, and his heart couldn't help but tighten.

At this moment, he mobilized a wisp of spiritual power to rummage through the ring at random, and then in his hand, the dragon face mask appeared in his hand and put it on.

So, he looked out the window and took a second breath, trying to hide the fact that he was Dongfang Shuo.

Crunch.

The door was pushed open, and the footsteps stopped.

"Your Majesty is gone. ”

Looking at Dongfang Shuo's back, Qiu Yebai, who pushed the door open, said so.

As soon as she finished speaking, Dongfang Shuo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, so he turned around with confidence and asked, "Then you can tell me now, why did the emperor visit Qiu Mansion at this time?"

But as soon as the words fell, Dongfang Shuo found that Qiu Yebai fell into a long silence.

At this time, the latter's eyes trembled, as if he was a little sluggish.

"What's wrong with you?"

Dongfang Shuo asked tentatively, and at the same time took a step closer to her.

Seeing him approaching, Akiba Bai finally came back to his senses.

"Where did you get the mask on your face?"

When this sentence came out, her tone seemed to be a little anxious.

Dongfang Shuo was stunned for a moment, then took off his mask: "You said this? this...... It's a long story......"

Indeed, the story in this mask is a bit long.

Seeing that his words were vague, Akiba Bai bit his lip and thought for a while, then said, "Do you know the owner of this mask?"

Dongfang Shuo glanced at the mask in his hand.

The owner of the mask?

Of course he knew.

"Sort of. ”

Dongfang Shuo nodded.

The original owner of this mask was Han Tongyang, the genius beast master elder of the Heavenly Dou Sect, who was killed by the puppet generals because he wanted to kill Dongfang Shuo. It was also at that time that this mask came into Dongfang Shuo's hands and was kept by his side until today.

Behind the mask, there is a Qingzhou force called 'Jiaolong', that force is just like its name, the dragon sees the head but not the tail, and no one has seen their true face of Lushan, but they have appeared in the history of Qingzhou again and again, and have been exterminated again and again. The weak are afraid, and the strong are palpitating.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Akiba Bai sank his gaze.

When she looked at Dongfang Shuo's face again, she said, "Is he okay?"

"Him?"

Dongfang Shuo was stunned.

Does it mean Han Tongyang?

Listening to the girl's tone, it seems that she cares a little about that 'him'. Therefore, Dongfang Shuo couldn't say bluntly that the owner of the mask had already been killed by him.

But after thinking about it, Qiu Ye Bai was born in Xuzhou, and Han Tongyang grew up in the Heaven Dou Sect in the east of Qingzhou, and the distance between the two was thousands of miles, let alone what kind of intersection could there be.

"Is he in bad condition?"

Seeing Dongfang Shuo hesitate, Qiu Yebai immediately asked.

Dongfang Shuo scratched his head, even more confused.

But suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, not long ago he had just heard Qiu Hou say that Qiu Ye Bai had an object of longing when he was a child, that person was wearing a mask, and it was precisely because of the existence of that person that Qiu Ye Bai would work hard to make himself what he is today.

Thinking of this, Dongfang Shuo couldn't help but glance at the mask in his hand again.

Don't...... Jiaolong's power has also spread to Xuzhou?

"It's out of place, but I have to tell you that there are a lot of these masks in my hometown, and maybe the original owner of this mask is not the same person as the person you have in mind. Dongfang Shuo said.

Akibabai's expression didn't change, but she was silent for a long time.

Finally, she set off and walked to Dongfang Shuo's approach.

"Can you show me the mask?"

She asked.

Dongfang Shuo nodded: "Na." ”

After taking the mask, Akiba Bai looked through it carefully.

"Can you tell me about the original owner of this mask?" asked Akibaha, handing the mask back as she spoke.

Dongfang Shuo pursed his lips: "He...... He was an elder in the sect that raised me, but he was punished for making a mistake. ”

"Is he locked up?"

"Sort of. ”

"Will he still be able to come out?"

"Perhaps...... Not really. ”

"Oh, that's right. ”

Akiba Bai lowered her gaze, and after the voice of this sentence fell, she did not continue the topic.

At this time, Dongfang Shuo also put away his mask.

"So that's all for today. Akiba Bai said, "You still have important things to do, and I can't delay you any longer." ”

Dongfang Shuo nodded thoughtfully, but when he was about to leave, he suddenly said, "Speaking of which, you still haven't told me, why did the emperor come?"

"He ......"

This time, I was vague with autumn leaf white.

Dongfang Shuo was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"When you're done, I'll tell you what you're willing to ask, and I'll tell you what you ask, but now you can make a good contribution, okay?"

Dongfang Shuo sighed and nodded.

So, he left the back hall, and after saying goodbye to Qiuhou, he left Qiufu directly.

"He's gone, but the marriage contract hasn't progressed or retreated, and there is still no progress. After he left, Qiu Jin said.

Akiba Bai shook his head: "I think it's better this way." ”

"Really?"

Qiuhou smiled warmly, "If you think it's good, that's good." ”

"Mother. ”

"What's wrong?"

"The mask...... In Dongfang Shuo's hand, the cracks in the corners of the mask's eyes, regardless of position or depth, were exactly the same. ”
