- At dawn, the eastern sky was white, and it was also the time when the curfew in Kyoto was lifted, and Xu Kecheng and Gu Yuan were driven out of the Song Mansion by Ruan Luo in a polite way.

For half a night, making a mess of the Song Mansion and being treated like this by the master's family after the incident was actually expected by Xu and Gu. However, after returning to the inn to rest for a night, it was not until noon that the two of them recovered their spirits and went downstairs to eat, and the two people sitting at the same table felt that something was wrong with last night.

When you think about it, there are two things that are wrong.

First, Ruan Luo's reaction was a little too calm.

Second, it wasn't until a few hours later that Xu and Gu realized in a trance that they seemed to have been tricked by someone last night.

Thinking carefully about the whole process of chasing the suspected female thief last night, it is clear that there are several clues that have been broken, and the thief has been out of their tracking range, but after a period of time, the disappeared whereabouts came out on their own? If it was the thief who wanted to play tricks on them, but didn't the thief even have some difficulty escaping, and was almost caught by them several times? In such an embarrassing situation, who still has the heart to play?

Unless there was a fourth person there last night. It's just that the thief shadow and the two of them should be able to play the shadow and their fellow disciples, what kind of martial arts should they be?

If there really is this fourth person, obviously he can't be the thief shadow faction, otherwise he wouldn't betray the trace of the thief shadow that he managed to escape again and again. But he didn't look like Ruan Luo's faction, because he had obviously mastered the whereabouts of the thief figure, but he refused to shoot directly, but led the two outsiders to make knives.

If the assumption of this fourth person is successful, then the interior of this huge Song Mansion is inevitably too complicated!

Combining these assumptions, and looking at Ruan Luo's overly calm attitude towards the two of them last night, Xu and Gu were vaguely aware of a possibility, and the two glanced at each other, and saw a trace of self-deprecation slipping into each other's eyes.

The shopkeeper, who was extremely enthusiastic about the service, quickly brought the food and drinks. While calling the name of the dish, it is neatly placed on the table. Gu Yuan raised his hand to stop the shopkeeper from pouring wine, and at the same time threw a string of ten copper coins in the tray where the shopkeeper came with the second end of the dish. The shopkeeper bowed down and hurriedly thanked him. Soon retreated.

Only then did Gu Yuan pick up the wine jug, first pour a full cup for Xu Kecheng, who was sitting opposite, and then pour half a glass for himself, and drank it all in one gulp.

As if he was savoring the taste of the half glass of wine, Gu Yuan, who put down the wine glass, pursed his lips and was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Senior, will we really get into trouble?" ”

Xu Kecheng looked around, aiming at a certain opportunity, his fingertips flashed with cold light, and he pinched three extremely thin silver needles and quickly stabbed them into the three plates of dishes on the table. Then the hand holding the needle hangs down to the knee under the table. Hearing Gu Yuan's words, he just smiled slightly and said, "Ah Yuan, you are confused, we are here in Nanzhao this time." It's doomed. ”

"Of course, the senior's words are correct, but I'm just afraid that Ruan Luo will be offended this time, and it will not be easy to clean up afterwards." It seemed that after tasting the taste of the half cup of wine, Gu Yuan poured himself another full glass. But this time he was not in a hurry to drink, but bent his fingers and gently knocked on the rim of the cup, his eyes drooped slightly, and he watched the shallow waves in the cup quickly fade away. He also said in a very light tone: "Senior, in fact, as early as when we set off, I wanted to ask you, why did the dean choose to accompany you?" ”

Xu Kecheng didn't answer, but staggered the topic without warning, and asked Gu Yuan in turn: "You also think it's a little redundant for me to go south with you, right?" ”

Gu Yuan shook his head and said, "It's not redundant. It's what you're good at, and it seems to be in the wrong place. I feel that this is a rare mistake in judgment by the teacher, but even if he thinks about a momentary mistake, someone should be able to remind him. ”

Xu Kecheng picked up the wine glass in his hand and sipped slowly, and then he put down the empty wine glass. looked at Gu Yuan, and said in a somewhat perfunctory tone: "You want to know, then when you go back, go and ask the teacher in person." ”

Gu Yuan's eyes showed a hint of doubt, and he asked again, "I thought you knew." Don't you feel that this trip south is inappropriate for you? Haven't you asked the teacher? ”

"Before the matter is done, with the temper of the teacher, he will not explain the problem too thoroughly." Xu Kecheng's answer was rather vague.

"You've learned the teacher's temper seven or eight times." Gu Yuan took a look, "He is worthy of being my senior." ”

"Can you take a day off and not come to me?" Xu Kecheng smiled and pushed the empty wine glass in his hand, and after a pause, he said: "We have solved the disaster of Nanzhao, but don't mess things up, it's better to go back and make trouble again." ”

――――

Concubine De recalled the night conversation with Shi Jing three years ago, when the atmosphere of conversation between the two was as tense as it is today, and it was very unharmonious. However, Shi Jing at least gave her a more accurate time limit in that unpleasant conversation, but ...... What is this conversation today?

Don't think about changing the time limit, she's been tricked by him a few times, and it's hard to trust her anymore.

Twelve years ago, on the way out of Kyoto with that little evil obstacle, Shi Jing had the opportunity to order Xue Zhong, who was going to see him off, to kill quickly.

If you do it at that time, not only can you easily solve two people at once, but you will also kill people in the suburbs hundreds of miles away from Beijing, and when you are on the emperor's side, you only need to say that they have been robbed and killed by mountain bandits, and you don't have to worry about leaving anything behind that will involve your own troubles - because in that time when the war had stopped for a while but the chaos had not been extinguished, the mountain bandits in the suburbs of Jianzhai were still very rampant.

However, Shi Jing did not agree to her proposal, and explained that he would at least wait for Lin Shan to hand over the artwork before he could choose the opportunity.

Five years later, this opportunity finally came, Shi Jing managed to intercept the four seasons pigeon flying back to Kyoto from that remote mountain village halfway, one step ahead of the emperor, read the short message, and learned that Lin Shan's drawing had been drawn to the end and was about to be completed. At the same time, one of the people Shi Jing had placed in the teaching of the masters of Lizheng Academy also began to prepare.

However, on the day when the artwork was completed, they learned that the artwork had been burned by the little impediment.

When the news was secretly sent back to Kyoto and reached the ears of the two of them, it was so angry that they wanted to vomit blood.

And the person who was installed in the Lizheng Academy got the news a little later, and he made a mistake in front of Lin Shan and revealed his martial arts, and a few days later, this person chose a reason to leave the academy, and I am afraid that it will not be able to be used again in the future.

Faced with such a breakthrough, Concubine De, who was far away in Kyoto, could only choose to wait a few more years.

Maybe this can be regarded as an alternative kind of "sincerity, gold and stone for opening", another five years have passed, and Providence has once again given him the best opportunity to assassinate. That's five years of waiting. It's worth it for this opportunity.

For some reason, Lin Shan actually came back with the little evil obstacle that had grown the shadow of the slut.

He didn't have to go this trip himself, maybe he sent it to the door to find death himself! After nearly 10 years of operation, Kyoto is now the most thorough and meticulous in terms of security. If Shi Jing wants to kill someone, it is not too difficult to do it cleanly.

It turned out that Lin Shan didn't really bring a helper when he returned to Beijing, and a few days after he returned to the dilapidated courtyard, two men who looked like shadow guards appeared outside the courtyard. One of these two people looks very young, but they are also very strange, and the other is in his twenties, looking very down, but he can vaguely distinguish that he is one of the two groups of Shuangyan who have been missing for many years.

At this juncture, the lone swallow suddenly popped out. Concubine De didn't dare to underestimate him, for fear that the killer she raised would not know how powerful this person was, and she would show her feet and drag herself, so she had to be indignant and unwilling to recall all the killers who were ambushed outside the dilapidated courtyard for the time being.

However, although the providence has been tricked several times. But in the end, it seems to be leaning on his side.

After a few days of impatience, Concubine De received another piece of news that made her happy again. Lin Shan's refusal to contact the emperor after returning to Beijing was also fake, but his purpose in doing so was to poke Wandefu's hornet's nest for the emperor.

As soon as this honeycomb is pierced, the show can start the gong, and it is not afraid of making a loud noise.

Concubine De regarded all the information she had about Lin Shan's presence in Beijing as a favor. It was given to the group of people who were sharpening knives at the back of the Wandefu family. Concubine De, who had done this, was still a little uneasy, so she moved out the group of killers she recalled a few days ago and mixed them with the group of killers who were ready to avenge Wan Defu and kill Lin Shan.

However, even in such a killing battle that was almost swept away, it still failed to give Lin Shan a fatal blow, and even the powerless little evil obstacle did not lose a single hair.

This is all because Shi Jing withdrew halfway through. Not only did he withdraw the manpower he had thrown out on the spot, but he also tore the killing net that the group of people from the Wan family had managed to weave with great difficulty.

Afterwards, he sued her to wait another three years.

Now that three years have passed, she has finally found another opportunity. First ended the obstacle that had lived comfortably in Beijing for three years. As for Lin Shan's side, although he didn't die three years ago, after Qingxia's inquiry, he was sick for three years, and he needed to stay in bed for most of the first two years to recuperate, so it was really not a worry for such a person who only had half a life left.

But now Shi Jing still wants to stop her!

How could she not be angry?!

Thinking back on these past failures, Concubine De's unwillingness and annoyance in her heart suddenly surged, and she suddenly snorted coldly, not following Shi Jing's guidance, but said in a different way: "Every time you want to stop me, you will make a reason, so I just want to know what the new reason you brought today!" ”

"There is no new reason." Shi Jing suddenly turned around, stared at Concubine De's eyes, and said word by word: "If you want me to give you a reason, then I can only repeat what I said to you three years ago." ”

When Concubine De heard this, she couldn't help but raise her head and "giggle". She let out such a fragmentary laugh in such a posture that it looked like something neurotic to look at.

After such a toss, she had indeed been aroused a little confused.

After laughing a little wryfully for a while, Concubine De turned to look at Shi Jing and asked, "Tell me, what are you?" Do you think I'll still believe your rhetoric that dragged me on year after year? ”

"You'll believe it." Shi Jing, whose eyes were slightly drooping, raised his head with a deep groan, "Unless you don't want to live through this year." ”

A hint of awe-inspiring flashed in Concubine De's eyes, and she didn't speak.

"If you don't want to admit it, then I'll do it for you and repeat it again." Shi Jing's groan just now, obviously he had made a draft in his stomach, and now he first intercepted Concubine De's anger with an alarmist word, and then slowly said the prepared rhetoric, "Maybe you still don't know why Lin Shan took that girl back to Beijing three years ago." This matter is full of contradictory logic, and I have been guessing and deliberating for a long time before I can figure out a few ideas.

First, he had been preparing to return the girl to His Majesty three years earlier. But something went wrong on His Majesty's side;

Second, he knew that he couldn't hand it over, and he still had to throw it away, that is, he might be confident enough. Even if he wasn't in Kyoto and only left the girl behind, nothing would have been wrong;

Thirdly, he had a reason to go around Kyoto before setting off, and on His Majesty's side, there was a mission that he had to lead and nothing could stop him, including the girl. So he left this burden in Kyoto, because without his care, for the girl. The safest place in the world is Kyoto, which is not ten miles away from his biological father. ”

After these long words, Concubine De's eyes were already covered with a layer of foggy complicated feelings, and she seemed to want to use her own way of understanding to smooth out Shi Jing's words, but unexpectedly, her thoughts fell into chaos.

And these words were only a slight pause when he said this, and Shi Jing quickly continued: "About the first article. I haven't seen it through yet, but this is a choice that should have been opposed by Lin Shan, but in the end he still agreed, which can only show that this issue is probably related to state affairs. As for the latter two, they can be seen clearly at a glance, but they can only be seen clearly, and it is difficult to do more. I'm sure you're already clear by now, albeit with my help. Your people have infiltrated the interior of the Song Mansion, and this secret institution that His Majesty has been operating for several years is almost paralyzed, but don't forget, His Majesty still has five small groups in his hands. You may not be able to fully master these five groups in your lifetime, and as long as these five groups are nailed to Kyoto, you will not have a chance to make a big splash. Even if the interior of the Song Mansion is rotten. Up to five small groups of people will clean and remove the juice without spilling and contaminating it elsewhere. ”

Concubine De quietly listened to Shi Jing say this, she suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help asking: "So, that shadow man who followed Qing Xia." Not really your person? ”

"What shadow man?" Shi Jing's eyes moved.

"According to the reply of the girl I sent to the Song Mansion to spread the news, the person who followed her was as fast as a shadow and as a charm, like a shadow reflected on the ground, almost unable to get rid of it, so the girl gave him a pronoun for a shadow man." Concubine De thought for a while and then added: "Qing Xia said that the person showed his face directly to her, and I thought he was your person at first glance. ”

"There's no need for my guards to follow your people." Shi Jing shook his head slightly. However, when he heard Concubine De say this, he was also aroused by a hint of inquiry, so he asked again: "What does your person see what he looks like?" ”

Hearing Shi Jing ask about this, Concubine De's face suddenly became full of doubts, and she shook her head slightly and said, "This is the strangest point." According to Qing Xia's reply, although this shadow man is not masked, he seems to be wearing a mask on one side of his face. The material of the mask looked real and fake on closer inspection, ugly than the disguise, but more conforming to the skin of the face than the mask. ”

"Oh......" Shi Jing tilted his head slightly, he really remembered, and said calmly: "He is the person in the fifth group, in fact, you have seen it a long time ago, but I don't know his identity." ”

Concubine De was stunned: "When have I ever seen this kind of person?" ”

There seems to be a general mask planted on his face, such a strange person, Concubine De doesn't believe that she will not leave an impression if she sees it. And if you think about it from another angle, I'm afraid she really doesn't have the opportunity to see such an ugly and weird face in the palace.

Shi Jing did not elaborate on this issue, he quickly turned his conversation back to the topic, and said at a slower pace: "In short, I came here today, and all I want to say to you is a few words. Stop immediately, if you still can't stop wanting to do it, then wait at least another six days, maybe a few days longer, the key to time is to see when Li Gai leaves Beijing. ”

"Ligai is leaving too?" Judging from Concubine De's expression when she spoke, it seemed as if she had heard the news for the first time.

"I didn't expect Your Majesty to hide it from you." Shi Jing's gaze at Concubine De changed as quickly as he could not find traces, "As soon as Li Gai leaves, two of the five groups in his hand will most likely be returned to His Majesty, or replaced by someone to lead him." In any case, in the days before and after he left, the inherent pattern of the five groups will inevitably fluctuate, and that time is the best opportunity to skip the eyeliner of the five groups. ”

After a slight pause, he added: "Even if you don't say whether the five groups will make a mistake in the inside, just say that Li Gai will leave, which will weaken the strength of the five groups the most, and even His Majesty's side may be affected." ”

Thinking of her husband's safety, Concubine De couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Counting, this is the first time that Li Gai has been in Beijing with His Majesty for thirteen years, and he has made a mistake. "It's over. She looked at Shi Jing and asked, "Is it Qingchuan?" ”

"It doesn't seem like you're completely unaware." Regarding Concubine De's question, Shi Jing nodded slightly to express his certainty, and he quickly continued: "Wait for the war over there, what will happen in Kyoto." As long as it is not directly related to His Majesty, then it is impossible for either Lin Shan or Li Gai to withdraw halfway at this juncture. ”

"Are you sure?" was repeatedly tricked by Shi Jing, and Concubine De no longer fully believed what he said to him.

"Everything involving the military is irrevocable as soon as the order is issued, and in order to manage tens of thousands of soldiers, it is necessary to achieve discipline like iron and orders like a mountain. Once they have set out, it will be impossible to return halfway. Shi Jing said this slowly, and his tone gradually became clear again, "But when they are about to set off yet." The various hidden guards in the capital are in the most sensitive stage, and it is best not to touch them at this time, otherwise in order to cut off the troubles, during this period, His Majesty will attack a heretic even more ruthlessly.

You know, you've been waiting for the opportunity to get rid of that person for more than ten years. His Majesty's determination to fight Qingchuan has been in his heart since he was still in the north, and at this time he is more urgent than you, so he must not allow the slightest interference. ”

Concubine De gradually truly realized that if she made a rash move today and the matter was revealed, she might get such a bleak ending. She couldn't help but feel a chill grow on her back, and a cluster of tiny tentacles was growing upwards. Scraping her spine, she almost couldn't stop shivering.

Maybe Wang Chinian will not punish her in the relationship with her Xiao Wanting husband and wife, but the result of squatting in the cold palace is certain. And if she is imprisoned, she loses her status, and the killers she raises lose control. Then all the things she has done before this will probably be understood by the members of the five groups soon.

At that point, she didn't know if she was qualified to live in the cold palace, but might be thrown into the prison to be next to the rats—but it would still be a little better than the death of the wine.

Thinking of this, Concubine De had already clenched her teeth unconsciously. You can even hear the sound of two rows of silver-like teeth polishing in her mouth.

Shi Jing looked at her frightened appearance, knowing that she had finally listened to his persuasion, and a stone hanging in her heart finally fell.

After a slight hesitation, Shi Jing softened his tone for the first time after saying so many words in this hall, and comforted Concubine De: "Don't worry too much, stopping at this time will not make Your Majesty suspicious of you." ”

Concubine De suddenly sighed and muttered: "Speaking of which, I should be grateful to Qing Xia, if she hadn't changed my order without authorization, my people would have sent it out now, and I wouldn't have been able to collect it carefully." ”

When she said this, the meaning of listening to the persuasion to stop was very clear.

Shi Jing saw that Concubine De's affairs had been completed, and he had a heavy official business, so he didn't have time to stay here longer, so he was ready to leave.

Before leaving, he remembered something again, stopped his footsteps and turned back and said: "The shadow man you mentioned, I will pay attention to it after I go back, there are my people in the Commander's Mansion, so you don't have to worry too much about this." But your girl named Qingxia, she has looked at the person head-on, so she hasn't been going out lately. For the five groups, sometimes there is no difference between masking and not masking, and the same can be found in the crowd. ”

After Shi Jing said this, he raised his hand and lifted the horned hat on the cloak, covered his head, covered half of his eyebrows, and walked out quickly with his head slightly lowered.

The four people who came with the ten generals on this trip saw that the master came out, and without any instructions, they immediately let go of the guards of Concubine De who were clamped in their hands, and the four people followed behind Shi Jing in two groups, and the backs of the five people quickly disappeared outside the door.

After they were all gone, Concubine De slowly walked out of the hall, looked at the direction of the five people leaving, and was faint for a while.

Watching the prime minister leave from afar, Qing Xia, the last maid who was waved away by Concubine De in the hall just now, was the first to approach at this time, and asked respectfully: "Master, what do you need the maidservant to do?" ”

"No need." Concubine De opened her mouth lightly, her eyes swept over the guards who were standing a little crookedly in the front yard, and there were still two people who had fainted on the ground and had not woken up, her mind became a little impatient, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Qing Xia, who was standing on the side, hurriedly explained: "They just suffered some contusions, and there is no big problem. Xiangye's attendants have already shown mercy to their subordinates, and their little bruises are not superficial and will not arouse suspicion. ”

Qingxia herself has good martial arts, and she is a confidant maid that Concubine De trusts very much. After listening to her explanation, of course Concubine De would not question it, and she also saved an unspoken worry in her heart.

If these guards are beaten to the point that their noses are blue and their faces are swollen, they may even see blood. She really had a headache how to take them back to the palace.

"Let......'s go," Concubine De let out a sigh of relief, preparing to end today's unpleasant trip outside the palace, and slowly instructed the maid Qing Xia beside her: "Call the head of the guard to invite Mrs. Mu and prepare to return to the palace." But as soon as you got the word, come over and follow me and leave nothing else. ”

Qing Xia immediately agreed, bowed to Concubine De again, and then turned around and looked for the chief guard guarding outside the courtyard. I don't know if the prime minister's attendant didn't show mercy when he met with the chief guard who was guarding at the front, and beat him down or what, from the time the prime minister came here to his departure, the chief guard who had good martial arts never saw anyone.

Uncontrollable obstruction. It can only be destroyed directly!

Qing Xia said silently in her heart: I only hope that the master's trip outside the palace will be smooth, so I hope he is fine.

――――

A few years ago, when Li Gai was just working as a shadow guard for Wang Chi, the venue for his daily practice was set on the hill in the middle of the royal mausoleum. But since then, he has realized that he is practicing. The energy accumulated in the meridians of his body would often be a little uncontrollable exposed, shaking the circle of pine trees on the hill close to his practice, and often shaking into bare branches.

If he just practiced like this, for him, it would only be regarded as a slight movement of his neck bone, and of course it would be okay for the stability of the buildings in the Commander's Mansion.

After several years of unremitting study, Li Gai has now mastered this momentum that is easy to get out of control, and has also summed up some of his own experiences. On several occasions, he accompanied Wang Chi on his trips. Being able to smash those arrows from dark corners with bare hands is the strength that comes with it.

But in the past few days, the way he practiced suddenly changed, no longer picking flowers and leaves, but with an extra two-foot high Split Moon Halberd in his hand, and he practiced in the single courtyard in the east corner of the mansion.

Although he moved out of the study. The study room full of case files was not disturbed, but the environment of the single courtyard in the east corner of the mansion was now quite bad. The original tile must be bare now, but Li Gai has instructed that these defects should not be repaired immediately, and it is obvious that they have been repaired in vain. Don't waste materials.

But at this moment, the guards who were guarding the periphery of this courtyard and extended a distance of ten meters all had another question in their hearts: If the commander practiced like this for a few more days, maybe it would be more than just tiles, and I was afraid that even the courtyard wall would not move and collapse.

Just when a few guards were holding on to the slightly trembling waist knife hilt and thinking this, a trumpet suddenly remembered on a sentry tower in the courtyard closest to this practice courtyard. After a while, the sound of the horn that sounded one breath at a time stopped completely, and the whistling sound of some kind of aura flying and colliding in the single courtyard also stopped, and Li Gai walked out of the courtyard.

When Li Gai was holding a heavy weapon to practice, it was almost impossible for anyone to get close, not because he was afraid of being disturbed, but because people with slightly weaker martial arts could hardly stand firm as long as they were close to him within ten steps. But from time to time, the Consul's Mansion always had affairs that he needed to read and make decisions, so there was such a way to deliver news since a few days ago.

A guard hurriedly walked over, took the ninety-pound Split Moon Halberd from Li Gai's hand, and carried it on his shoulder. On the way to the large council chamber in the middle of the Commander's Palace, another guard handed him a cotton handkerchief that had been moistened with warm water, and Li Gai took it and wiped his face.

As he threw the cotton handkerchief back into the guard's hands, Li Gai glanced at the guard carrying the halberd, and suddenly asked, "Are you on duty today?" ”

The guard hurriedly replied: "Guard Rong seems to have a sudden illness today, and when he ate at noon, he fainted while eating, and he lasted until the afternoon, and was finally reprimanded by the head of the palace to go home to rest." At that time, Lord Commander, you had already started to practice the halberd, so your subordinates failed to report in time. ”

After Rongshu was transferred back to Kyoto from the four groups of foreign branches due to illness, he first recuperated for more than half a year, and after his illness recovered, Rongshu took up his post from the guard group of the commander, mainly responsible for serving the sword for Li Gai - which is equivalent to a weapon rack with long legs - although Li Gai basically does not use weapons at ordinary times, but there are still some face images of this new guard who has entered the Commander's Palace, because he is inseparable and follows closely.

In fact, Li Gai also knew in his heart that although Rongshu's illness had recovered, his body had weakened a lot because of this calamity, and he should have recuperated for another three months. It's good to recover your physical fitness. Therefore, after listening to the explanation and advice of the halberd guard, he waved his hand lightly and said, "If you are sick, you need to rest, and the old butler is doing well, so let's send two more days of leave to Rongshu!" ”

The halberd guard hurriedly responded: "Yes!" ”

Walk into the Grand Council Chamber. Li Gai thought that waiting for him here was at least a chief officer of the fifth rank or above, but he only saw a non-ranked, his subordinate Wu Shu, and he was a little surprised.

After sending a few guards guarding the Great Council Hall outside, he asked directly, "What happened when you suddenly came here when you weren't on duty today?" ”

Wu Shu carefully told what happened to the Song Mansion.

After Wu Shu's words were finished, Li Gai snorted and said with a smile: "Knowing that I am about to leave Kyoto, I can't help but jump out of any cow, ghost, snake and god." With that, he pondered for a moment. Then he said to Wu Shu: "Although you are about to be promoted to the head of the fourth group of Beijing, the affairs of the Song Mansion have to be entrusted to you to watch carefully in the past few days." ”

"Humble duty understands." Wu Shu bowed down to receive the order. After hesitating for a moment, he finally couldn't help but ask: "Lord Commander, do you want to search for that masked woman in the whole city?" ”

"I know you have the ability to discern people. But ......," said Li Gai hesitantly, "If you don't have a full degree of certainty in uprooting, you can't startle the snake." In short, if you have the opportunity to see this person again in the future, you will recognize her whether she is masked or not, so you don't have to rush it for a while. ”

Wu Shu bowed slightly, knowing that this was the strategy of "putting a long line to catch a big fish", but he was also afraid that if the line was too long, it would get out of control. So he groaned and said slowly: "If something happens to the Song Mansion, how should I deal with it?" Today, she was just chasing that woman, and she summoned more than a dozen killers to fight back in just a moment. It is impossible to estimate how many thieves there are in this group of thieves this time. ”

"I'm afraid you thought of what happened to the Lin family's old house three years ago." Thinking of this past incident, this catastrophe involves the personal safety of his sworn brother. Li Gai sighed to himself first. Looking at what is happening in front of you, if you do it again like you did three years ago, you may hurt more than one person. After pondering for a moment, Li Gai said slowly: "Although Yulin Weili is a good player, they are not familiar with you. You can take my personal sigil and pick people among the guards of the Commander's Palace. I will match you with a hundred people, and how to arrange them in the Song Mansion depends on your dispatch. ”

Wu Shu couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly when he heard this, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes. Without waiting for him to speak, he heard Li Gai say again: "The Song Mansion and the Lin family's old mansion are completely different in nature, if he had listened to my advice earlier and lived in the Song Mansion, maybe the ending of the incident three years ago would not have been so tragic." ”

Wu Shu understood what the people and things involved in Li Gai's words were referring to, and he lowered his head slightly, not knowing how to answer these words.

And Li Gai's side had already put away his thoughts, he glanced at Wu Shu, who was silent with his head bowed, and said indifferently: "What happened in the past, I can't say anything now, but things that have not happened in front of me may happen, so we should put more effort into managing it properly." If there's nothing to do, you can step down. ”

Wu Shu was about to say goodbye and retreat when he heard this, but he suddenly remembered about what happened in the Song Mansion today, and there seemed to be a small detail that he almost missed. After a little deliberation, he told Li Gai all these trivial suspicions.

After listening to Wu Shudi's narration, Li Gai's face suddenly became a little gloomy, and he said in a somewhat difficult tone: "You said that this woman can avoid the courtyard of the Song Mansion and enter and exit freely in the house, that is, you suspect that this woman has an internal response in the house, and this internal response is likely to be the main person in the house called Bai Tao?" ”

Wu Shu didn't feel that his inference was all falsehood, maybe the accuracy had yet to be verified, so he nodded calmly in the face of Li Gai, and added: "After a long time of humble observation, Bai Tao's martial arts skills are probably not lower than those of humble duty, and she has been hidden for many years, which is the most suspicious point." ”

Li Gai suddenly smiled, this smile was not revealed for too long, and then he smiled and sighed: "But Bai Tao is clearly the person of His Majesty." ”-
