There was only one lamp in the room that was not very bright, it was a little dim, and looking at it from a distance, Xiao Jingbei, who was standing quietly, was like a piece of wood with a pestle, and he was cold and terrifying in the eyes of others, but at this time, he only felt stupid in Feng Zhige's eyes.

Could it be that he's just here tonight to be in a daze?

What a fool!

Feng Zhige rolled his eyes in the darkness, and then threw the jade unicorn in his hand towards Xiao Jingbei, "Next!" ”

This jade unicorn was left in Luoshuixuan when Xiao Jingbei left, if she didn't know the role of this jade unicorn, it was just a piece of jade, and she would have accepted it, but since Feng Zhige knew the significance of this thing to the Anguo Mansion, she couldn't keep it in her hands anymore, and now it can be regarded as the return of the thing to its original owner.

Xiao Jingbei raised his hand, and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the things in his hand.

Xiao Jingbei lost his mother at birth, and could only be taken care of by the servants of the Guogong Mansion, so Xiao Li, the Duke of Anguo, was very fond of this only son before he was poisoned, and men in this era have the saying that they hold their grandchildren but not their children, but Xiao Li never paid attention to this, and after returning to the Guogong Mansion, as long as he was free, he always held Xiao Jingbei in his hands.

A military general who has been fighting on the battlefield for so many years spoils his son so much, and was called by many people at that time as an iron man and tenderness.

When Xiao Jingbei was three years old, he saw this jade unicorn for the first time and held it in his arms and refused to let go, An Guogong couldn't resist him, and since then this jade unicorn has been placed in Xiao Jingbei's toy pile when he was a child, accompanied by things like Trojan horses and wooden swords.

An Guogong's poisoning came too suddenly, and Xiao Jingbei was only four years old at that time, and An Guogong fell, and many things in the Guogong Mansion did not have time to explain to anyone.

Xiao Jingbei didn't know the meaning of this jade unicorn at first, after all, the memories of his childhood were too far away, and he almost didn't remember that there was such a thing in his childhood toys.

Six years ago, he decided to go to Huzhou to investigate the situation of Xiao Li's accident back then, Xiao Jingbei also expected that his mother would definitely not let go of such a good opportunity, maybe it was a good one, so he thought about bringing an old object with common memories with his father, and he also had a thought.

So, from the pile of old toys, he turned out the jade unicorn that had been covered with dust for more than ten years.

was discovered by Zhou Yuran's people in Huzhou. was stabbed, seriously injured, and when he met Feng Zhige, Xiao Jingbei actually had the consciousness of death in his heart.

I just didn't expect that in that blood-colored night. There would be such an indifferent girl who came from the darkness and saved him from fire and water in that desperate situation.

The grace of saving his life is naturally indispensable, but at that time, Xiao Jingbei had some broken silver left on his body, which could be said to be nothing long, and the only thing that had some meaning in his heart. There was only that jade unicorn.

Therefore, when leaving Luoshuixuan, Xiao Jingbei left the jade unicorn on his pillow.

Later, Xiao Jingbei returned to the capital, and the stunned and chagrin on his mother's face when she saw him return to Beijing alive made him still feel happy when he thought about it now.

It wasn't long after that that Xiao Jingbei faintly noticed that Zhou Yuran and the people behind her seemed to be looking for something in the Guogong Mansion, and even several times, he found traces of things being turned over in his yard.

Initially, Xiao Jingbei didn't know what Zhou Yuran was looking for. It wasn't until I happened to hear Zhou Yuran mention the words "jade unicorn" that it suddenly dawned on them that what they were looking for was actually their childhood toys.

Of course, this time, Xiao Jingbei will no longer simply regard the jade unicorn as a toy given to him by his father.

The jade unicorn must have some special role, and it is an irreplaceable role, if not, with the status of the Zhou family in the capital now. Why do you need to go to such great lengths to find it?

But even if he knew that this jade unicorn might be very important, Xiao Jingbei didn't think about going over to get it back, it was a thank you gift he gave to his life-saving benefactor, how could he give it out and then come back.

Xiao Jingbei didn't expect it. Six years later, he will meet again with his savior.

Even speaking of which, the reason why Feng Zhige's family returned to the capital was that although there was Feng Zhige's plan, it also had a certain relationship with Xiao Jingbei.

Xiao Jingbei's many thoughts actually passed in an instant, and he glanced at the jade unicorn in his hand again. He raised his hand and threw it back: "Thank you." ”

Just like Xiao Jingbei's feeling to outsiders, his voice is magnetic with a faint coldness, but listening to it in the ears does not make people feel very cold, but there is a faint refreshing coolness, which involuntarily makes the listener feel comfortable in his ears.

Feng Zhige took the jade qilin that flew over into his hand, then raised his eyebrows, and raised the thing in his hand at Xiao Jingbei, "You don't know what this thing is for?" ”

Xiao Jingbei, who was in the shadows, was silent for a long time, and then slowly shook his head, "I don't know, but it should be important to guess." Then he said in a slightly hurried tone, "Even if you know, since it has been given to you as a thank you gift, then this thing is yours." ”

A bright color flashed in Feng Zhige's eyes.

In the ten years of conquest before the founding of the Dawu Dynasty, Han Su and Zhao Tiannan fought almost side by side, and many of the founding heroes and generals dedicated their respect and loyalty to the woman's body of Han Su, but Zhao Tiannan also got the support of many people, and among those who supported Zhao Tiannan, a large part of them sneered at her because of Han Su's daughter.

If there are so many people under Zhao Tiannan's command, there are two who can make her look at them, and that is Lao Weiyuanhou and An Guogong Xiao Li.

Xiao Liqi is not only brave on the battlefield, but also extremely loyal to Zhao Tiannan, and is a rare wise person among the group of martial artists under Zhao Tiannan.

Now it seems that Xiao Jingbei in front of him is at least very Xiao his father in the word "letter".

Eyes flowed, Feng Zhige said: "At the beginning of the Dawu Dynasty, a famous Qilin Guard was established, and it was established by selecting the top soldiers from the major guards and armies, and after special training, compared with ordinary soldiers, it is exaggerated to describe it as a block of ten. ”

Grabbing Xiao Jingbei's eyes accurately in the dark, Feng Zhige said: "The original intention of the establishment of Qilinwei was to be the emperor's private soldier, and to be handed over to the most trusted subordinates by the current emperor, so that he was directly responsible to the emperor. In order to prevent someone from attacking the idea of the Qilin Guard, since the date of the establishment of the fight, the first rule that all the Qilin Guards should remember is that they only recognize the seal letter and not the person, if they can't see the seal letter, even if the emperor is there in person, they have no right to order them to do anything. ”

In the dark, I heard the secrets of the year. Xiao Jingbei vaguely guessed something, even though he had always been calm, at this time, the sound of breathing couldn't help but be a little faster than usual.

Feng Zhige didn't sell Guan Zi either, staring at Xiao Jingbei's eyes tightly. Slowly unraveling the mystery, "The most trustworthy courtier in the eyes of the emperor, the first and only leader of the Qilin Guard, is your father Xiao Li. And the seal that ordered the Qilin Guard is this jade unicorn. ”

The doubts that had been buried in my heart for a long time were finally solved. Xiao Jingbei's heart was stunned.

No wonder, the Zhou family, who have always had a big heart, has not stopped searching for this jade unicorn even after so many years.

The jade unicorn has been missing for so many years, and the unicorn guard is like a kite with a broken string, even the emperor can't grasp it, of course, he has to hurry to find the jade unicorn.

As for the Zhou family, whether they want to find the Jade Qilin Wei is to return it to the emperor or for personal gain, I'm afraid only they know.

"Even so," Feng Zhige shook the warm jade unicorn in his hand. His voice was a little low and hoarse in the night, "Do you still want to give me this jade unicorn?" ”

There was a slight hesitation on Xiao Jing's face.

He knew how shocking it would be if he said what he wanted to do, and he did need more power in his hands to achieve his goal, and with Qilin Wei in his hands, he would undoubtedly save a lot of effort.

But......

The hesitation was just for a moment, and the next moment, Xiao Jingbei nodded firmly: "Here you go." ”

Since it has been given out as a thank you gift, it is a promise that even if he has to go a long way for this, he will never get the jade qilin back from the Fengzhi singer. Not to mention. If Feng Zhige hadn't come to the rescue at that time, he would have died under the knife in that dark night, and how could he have the opportunity to stand here and discuss the ownership of the jade unicorn with Feng Zhige.

After making a decision, Xiao Jingbei's heart was also relaxed. But then, more doubts surfaced in my heart.

Looking at Feng Zhige's appearance, she must not be able to reach her yet, a girl less than fifteen years old, she was not born when the Dawu Dynasty was founded. Even if she was born at the time, these news were obviously not heard by ordinary people. So, where did she learn about these secrets?

Xiao Jing Beibei thought so, and asked like this.

"How do you know these things?"

A curious baby-like doubt appeared on his cold face for many years, and that kind of contrast and cuteness made Feng Zhige almost laugh out loud.

Feng Zhige played with the jade unicorn, and his red lips, which looked extraordinarily bright in the light, were gently raised, and he said with a smile: "Because I have lived for three lifetimes, and after living for a long time, I always have the opportunity to know something that others don't know." ”

The girl's unique clear voice was wrapped in a faint layer of low hoarseness, like the finest silk gently sliding from between his fingers, listening to Xiao Jingbei's ears, so that his ears couldn't help but move slightly, and his index finger was slightly bent, and it took a lot of effort to suppress the urge to dig his ears.

The sudden change in his heart made Xiao Jingbei's ears inexplicably hot.

At the same time, he was also secretly glad that the light in the room was dim, and he would not let his strange appearance be seen by Feng Zhige.

Suppressing this inexplicable reaction in his heart, Xiao Jingbei realized what Feng Zhige had just said.

Lived three lifetimes?

For such a reason, of course, he subconsciously thought that Feng Zhige was joking, thinking that the girl with a light temperament in his impression would also laugh with him, Xiao Jingbei only felt that the enthusiasm from the root of his ears was even worse, which made him feel that the wolf bèi wanted to change the topic at the same time.

This thought really reminded him of another doubt in his heart.

"Mrs. Yang from Huzhou, is that you?" Xiao Jingbei asked hesitantly.

Since the rumors about Zhao Youjun came out of Mrs. Yang, Xiao Jingbei had such a guess in his heart.

Although, he also knew very well in his heart that just because Mrs. Yang was from Huzhou, he would associate it with Feng Zhige, this speculation was really unreasonable.

Speaking of which, Mrs. Yang spread rumors about Zhao Youjun all over the capital before him, and she did Xiao Jingbei a great favor in disguise, and even after he later revealed Zhao Youjun's true identity, most people habitually thought that this was also passed on by Mrs. Yang, but Mrs. Yang had a big black pot for him.

If not, he wasn't sure if he would reveal his identity.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jingbei looked at Feng Zhige, and his eyes were brightened by the faint candlelight.

Feng Zhige held the hand of the jade unicorn and subconsciously tightened, Xiao Jingbei looked like a large dog waiting for the owner to appease him, and he wanted to touch his head......

Ahem, suppressing the desire and hope to stretch out his hand, Feng Zhige cleared his throat and sat down precariously and said, "The person you sent to Huzhou to investigate the news was not careful enough when he acted. My people noticed it, so I did give it a push. Then the conversation shifted, "By the way, the people under you are really not very good." Are you sure you won't take the Jade Kirin back? You must know that the people in the Qilin Guard are not comparable to the people under you. ”

Xiao Jingbei pursed his lips and reiterated again: "The jade unicorn is already yours." ”

What a fool!

Feng Zhige sighed like this for the second time, so he didn't ask anymore.

Although the Qilin Guard is powerful, there is still a gap compared to the dark guard she trained single-handedly. Therefore, she can't possess the jade unicorn that the Zhou family is eager to find.

Just let her keep it for Xiao Jingbei for the time being.

If he really gave it back to Xiao Jingbei, once someone found out that something was in his hands, he might not be able to keep it.

The Zhou family didn't mention it, if the news reached Zhao Tiannan's ears, I am afraid that this jade unicorn would have to be handed over.

The room was quiet again, and the two of them sat on the bed and stood in the corner, although they did not speak, but it was strange and not embarrassing.

I don't know how long it took. Feng Zhige suddenly asked: "When Zhao Youjun entered the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, you had just been born, it stands to reason that you should not know each other, even if Zhao Youjun has been in contact with the capital through Zhou Yuran all these years, it will not let you spread rumors to reveal her identity." ”

"So, for whom are you doing this?"

Xiao Jingbei was silent, but he was sighing in his heart for Feng Zhige's keenness.

This question was also asked by Wen Yue and Ning Xiuyi before. At that time, Xiao Jingbei's refusal to answer made Wen Yue almost lose his temper.

But when the person who asked this question became Feng Zhige, maybe because of her life-saving grace back then, maybe because of something on the side, Xiao Jingbei couldn't say anything to refuse.

I waited for a long time and didn't wait for Xiao Jingbei's answer. Feng Zhige raised his eyebrows: "Zhou Yuran? ”

Without waiting for Xiao Jingbei to speak, she denied this answer: "Revealing Zhao Youjun's identity is not much harm to Zhou Yuran, and maintaining correspondence with Zhao Youjun makes people blame her." So, is it Zhao Tiannan? ”

Xiao Jingbei shook suddenly, he didn't expect it. With just one of his actions, Feng Zhige could think of this.

Then he was stunned, if he heard it correctly, when he mentioned the current emperor, Feng Zhige called him by his name? And in a disapproving tone.

Even if he accidentally learned about his father's accident back then, he was only sad and angry with the emperor, but even if he was angry in his heart, he dared to do something in return, but he couldn't be more careful, he was afraid that he would not be able to avenge his father and put himself in it, how could he have been so contemptuous?

Although Xiao Jingbei did not answer, his reaction clearly showed that Feng Zhige was right.

"To deal with Zhao Tiannan, these innocuous little means are useless." Thinking of those long-ago memories, Feng Zhige's voice was a little ethereal, "Besides, even if you reveal Zhao Youjun's true identity, what's the use?" Why do you think he will return the Weiyuan Marquis family to Beijing? At that time, as long as my father denies it when he went to the court, what is the use of those rumors, can you still expect this small rumor to move the foundation of the Great Wu Dynasty? ”

"Our emperor, is not a soft-hearted person, even if everyone believes that rumor, as long as Zhao Youjun dies, there is no proof of death, will anyone disobey him as an emperor in order to investigate the truth?"

Speaking of which, there was some coldness in Feng Zhige's voice.

Xiao Jingbei was silent for a while, the reason why he impulsively released that rumor was only because he had just learned the truth about An Guogong's poisoning at that time, and he was so angry for a while. Thinking about it at this time, what he did was indeed inconsiderate, if it weren't for Mrs. Yang in front, maybe he would have to expose himself to the eyes of the emperor.

Thinking of the consequences, Xiao Jingbei only felt sweat on his back.

Xiao Jingbei has almost lost his father since he was four years old, although he is protected by loyal servants, but these servants alone are certainly not enough for him to survive in the Guogong Mansion controlled by Zhou Yuran. Being able to survive so many assassinations by Zhou Yuran, and condense the subordinates left by An Guogong little by little, Xiao Jingbei is certainly not an impulsive person, he took a deep breath, and he regained his original calm.

"Thank you."

It took a long time for Xiao Jingbei's voice to sound in the room.

For so many years, he has almost been on the verge of life and death, and his nerves have been tense, especially when he learned that the reason why his respected father had been bedridden for more than ten years was actually the hand of the palace subordinate, the string called reason was broken instantly, and he would make all the previous almost childish actions.

If it weren't for Feng Zhige's words, maybe he wouldn't have been able to wake up, and he should really thank Feng Zhige.

got Xiao Jingbei's thanks, but Feng Zhige suddenly lost his interest in speaking.

She is not a person who talks much, but she said so much to Xiao Jingbei, a person who has only met twice, tonight.

Maybe it's because I'm back in the capital after more than 20 years.

"It's late at night, you should go back." Feng Zhige opened his mouth to chase away the guests.

Xiao Jingbei bowed his head slightly, and it took a long time to respond with a "um" in a low voice.

Seeing him turn around and climb up the window, Feng Zhige called him.

"Hey!"

Xiao Jingbei looked back at Feng Zhige, and a wisp of black hair was gently raised by the night wind.

"I've told you so much, I haven't gotten to know you well," Feng Zhige said, "My name is Feng Zhige." ”

After a while, the deep voice was blown by the night wind to Feng Zhige's ears.

"Xiao Jingbei." (To be continued.) )
