On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve in the capital, although the outside of the palace is not as luxurious and beautiful as in the palace, it adds a warm and harmonious feeling. Red lanterns hang all over the streets, and the sound of fireworks is endless. When it was time for dinner, there were few people on the road, everyone stayed at home to celebrate the New Year with their relatives, the spacious street seemed a little deserted and lonely at this moment, and even the most lively and prosperous Yanyu Building on weekdays and nights seemed to be much quieter than in the past on this kind of day.

Qiu Feng lazily leaned on the soft couch, closed his eyes and recuperated, the leader of the Lingshan Gang who has always done his own thing is really different from ordinary people, in this most lively and joyful day of the year, he has restrained his uninhibited temperament on weekdays, just quietly hiding in the hut of the Yanyu Building and closing his eyes to recuperate, looking very quiet, as if enjoying this rare peace and quiet.

After a while, the door of the room was quietly opened, and Qiu Feng opened his eyes to see that it was Mu Qing's maid Taowu. During this time, Taowu has been living in the Yanyu Building, responsible for Mu Qing's investigation and collection of various news in Beijing, and the collected information is organized together, and then given to Qiu Feng, and finally selects the most useful and worthy of scrutiny of the information and conveys it to the palace.

"Little Taowu, you're here!" Qiu Feng sat up, a strange smile on his face.

"It's the New Year." Taowu said quietly, but there was no joy on his face, but a faint sadness.

"yes, it's the New Year." Qiu Feng repeated the other party's words unintentionally, and then poured a glass of wine and handed it over, "Little Taowu, you can also have a drink with me, and there will only be the two of us left in such days." ”

Taowu glanced at the wine glass slightly, frowned, and said in a low voice: "Master, is she okay?" Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, but I can't be by my master's side. ”

"There must be a New Year's banquet being held in the palace now, Mu Qing must be living with delicious food and drink, don't worry about it." Qiu Feng pouted his aggrieved little mouth like a child, "It's like the two of us, alone, drinking alone under the lamp, it's not desolate!" ”

Without saying a word, Taowu picked up the wine glass, raised his head and took a sip of the spirits in the glass. She felt very uncomfortable when she thought that on such a happy day for the family, her master was surrounded by a group of treacherous villains who were hypocritical and hidden. Taowu said in a low voice: "There is no one around the master who can speak considerately except for Sister Zhuyu now, and the palace wall is towering, only blame me for not being good enough to enter the palace to see the master." ”

"Into the palace? You are crazy? Qiu Feng sneered, "On a day like today, the palace forbidden guards must be ten times stricter than usual, even a madman like me would not be so arrogant." ”

Taowu knew that Qiu Feng was not wrong, so she couldn't help but laugh at herself, secretly annoyed that she was whimsical. The sadness spread to his chest with the wine, and Tao Wu slowly asked, "Gang Master Qiu, when will I see my master?" ”

"Oh, you've asked this question a hundred and eighty times, and I'm annoyed if you don't bother me." Qiu Feng said impatiently, "Don't think about anything now, just listen to your master's arrangement, and you will naturally be able to see her when it's time to meet." ”

was reprimanded by Qiu Feng like this, Taowu only felt that the grievances and sadness in her heart were like a rising tide of river, rushing in an instant, hitting all over her body and limbs. Tears rolled down her eyes and sobbed in a low voice.

"Okay, okay, I'm not scolding you, why are you crying!" Qiu Feng saw that the girl's tears were raining down, and he was suddenly a little helpless, softened his tone, and comforted, "Little Taowu, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, you can't cry, otherwise the next year will not be smooth." And if you don't go well, your master will also go badly, you don't want Mu Qing to plan for many years and end up in a complete defeat, right? ”

Taowu sniffed and retorted anxiously, "Bah, bah! What a failure! Gang Master Qiu, please ask you, for the New Year, can you not talk nonsense. ”

"Okay, yes, I said the wrong thing. Mu Qing will definitely get revenge, and her wish will come true! Qiu Feng's handsome face was filled with an uninhibited smile.

Taowu wiped away the tears on her face and asked sternly, "Gang Master Qiu, you say... When will we be able to leave the capital, this is a place of wrong? After the qiē is over, will the master be able to leave the ghost place in the palace and return to the Lingshan Mountain with us? ”

Qiu Feng was stunned by the question, and a smile froze on his face. In fact, in Qiu Feng's heart, there has always been a voice asking herself: When the dust settles and the truth is revealed, even if she can leave the square palace wall that locks people's bodies and souls, can she still return to Lingshan? Is she....still in time to return to Lingshan?

Seeing that the smile on Qiu Feng's face faded inch by inch, Taowu's heart couldn't help but tighten, and she asked again, "Gang Master Qiu, why don't you speak?" ”

Qiu Feng pulled his thoughts back, then grinned at the corners of his mouth, revealing a heartless smile, and inexplicably changed the topic: "Little Taowu, let's go set off fireworks, right?" ”

"I'm not going." Momogo bluntly refused.

"Go, go, of course, there will be fireworks for the New Year!" The leader of the dignified Lingshan Gang actually began to be coquettish, he pulled Taowu's sleeves and shook them constantly, "I asked my subordinates to buy more fireworks, so that even if there are only two of us to keep the New Year, we won't be lonely!"

Taowu looked at this helper, she couldn't cry or laugh, I really don't know whether to say that he is childlike or naïve. Taowu shook off Qiu Feng's hand vigorously and refused again. Who knew that Qiu Feng was unrelenting, and continued to pull the peach turnip, looking like a scoundrel.

While the two were arguing, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the house. The little servant stood outside, through a door, and whispered: "Helper, His Royal Highness King Rui has come down." ”

After hearing this, Qiu Feng and Taowu each stopped what they were doing and looked at each other in surprise.

What did Liang Yinhuan do when he came to Yanyulou at this time? Wasn't he supposed to attend a palace banquet in the palace?

Qiu Feng was the first to recover from his shock, and said calmly to Taowu: "Don't be nervous, you stay here, I'll go outside first." If I really can't resist it, and King Rui insists on breaking in, don't be afraid, just face it naturally. But you must remember your identity in front of King Rui, you are the leader of the Lingshan Gang, and you must not show any flaws! ”

Taowu nodded yes, watching Qiu Feng's back disappear outside the door uneasily, still apprehensive in her heart.

As soon as Qiu Feng walked to the staircase on the second floor, he saw King Rui standing on the steps with a cold face, with a trace of impatience on his face. Liang Yinhuan has no entourage and guards around him, and it seems that he came to Yanyu Building alone.

Qiu Feng stepped forward and beckoned, "Yo! It turned out to be His Royal Highness King Rui!" (To be continued.) )
