Pang Rui simply buried Qiu Jixuan.

For the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Linghu Marquis Mansion, Qiu Jixuan is a heinous sinner. But in him, she simply doesn't need anything in return, and it doesn't matter if she is even misunderstood.

In front of you is a wordless tombstone, surrounded by barren mountains and mountains.

The cold wind hunted, rolling up his white clothes, and whirling in the wind.

"I can't engrave your name on the tombstone, but I promise that when I get old, I will bury you in the backyard of the Hou Mansion with my own hands, and I will sleep with you for a long time."

When Qiu Jixuan was alive, Pang Rui would not give her a promise, after her death, how much meaning this promise had, perhaps, only the living could feel it.

"Master Hou, the wind is blowing." Steward Zheng stepped forward and reminded Pang Rui in a low voice.

In the past few days, Hou Ye has not rested much, and has been personally dealing with Qiu Jixuan's funeral.

"Okay, let's go back." Pang Rui nodded, turned and walked back.

When she pestered him, he was so cold to her that he wouldn't even look at her. Now that she is gone, she still kept a secret before she died, and refused to let go for him for three years.

Her feelings for him were so deep that he couldn't even feel them all.

On the carriage back, Pang Rui closed his eyes and rested.

The carriage was filled with the smell of burnt paper, and he took out the aromatherapy and lit it, with a faint mint aroma to refresh his mind.

"Steward Zheng, I came back to avenge the death of more than 100 people in the Pang Hou Mansion, and you are also to avenge your grandson who was poisoned when he was born. Now that the enemy is dead, but the Lin dynasty is still there, if I continue, will it really be to exterminate the people of the Lin family? Qi Yuan is also surnamed Lin - there are endless children and grandchildren, do I have to leave no grass? ”

Pang Rui's words were more like saying to himself.

He and Steward Zheng both have an enmity with Lin Zhenrui.

But Lin Zhenrui is dead-

Pang Rui knows very well that the reason why he continues to stay in Kyoto now is because of the full moon of Linghu! But if you don't leave, will you be able to face the people of the Lin family calmly if you stay?

"Hou Ye, the old man and Hou Ye went from Kyoto to the Gobi Desert, and then returned to Kyoto from the desolate Gobi Desert, for more than ten years, they have already seen through life and death and realized the meaning of survival. People still have to live in the present, who can calculate the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of tomorrow? If you live for a day, make yourself happy for a day. The relatives of the province are bitter and the enemies are fast! What does Master Hou think, the old man is so old, he will accompany him to the end. ”

Pang Rui smiled suddenly, Bingrun fingers naturally touched his nose, and then teased,

"You old bones, you can't toss for long, so let's have fun in time, but I'll settle your account."

"Master Hou, when it comes to settling accounts, who can compare to you, Master Hou! Isn't it? Steward Zheng smiled happily, and Pang Rui raised his eyebrows, not knowing if it was okay.

Steward Zheng is the old butler of the Hou Mansion, and he is also a teacher and friend, and he is the only person he has completely trusted for so many years. Steward Zheng is also old, when he rescued him from the hellish Panghou Mansion, Steward Zheng was scarred, in the eight years in the desert, he experienced several difficulties, and Steward Zheng was also by his side.

Now, Qiu Jixuan has died, so he can't watch the people around him leave one by one.

When the carriage was about to arrive at the Hou Mansion, the hidden guard sent news from outside the carriage,

"Master Hou, the emperor has arrived at the Hou Mansion."

"Why are you only here to deliver the news now?" Pang Rui's tone was slightly displeased.

"Back to the Hou Ye, the emperor was originally going to the Linghu Hou Mansion, but when he passed by the Pang Hou Mansion, he suddenly stopped. The subordinates are also not sure if the emperor will go in for a while. ”

"Alright, stand down."

Pang Rui frowned.

In terms of his current relationship with Lin Jian, whether it is superficial or actual, he is a thorn in Lin Jian's side, and he can't wait to get rid of it as soon as possible.

The carriage stopped outside the gate of Pang Hou's Mansion, Steward Zheng lifted the curtain, Pang Rui got out of the car calmly, his face was as warm as jade, and his white clothes were still clean.

Pang Rui changed his clothes in the car, much cleaner and more elegant than when he came out of the mountains, as usual.

"Your Majesty?" He had an expression that he didn't know Lin Jian would come at all.

Walk over immediately, and please be safe.

"I don't know if the emperor is coming, and I will miss it."

"Pang Rui, why do you want to do this? You should have known I was coming. What a big shelf, the carriage did not accelerate at all, and still came unhurriedly. ”

Lin Jian didn't care about exposing Pang Rui.

Pang Rui's storage zài is his biggest threat, obviously surpassing Lin Dongyao!

"Heh, the emperor is really imaginative." Pang Rui smiled, that smile was obviously floating on the surface, not the relaxed and real chatting with Steward Zheng before.

"Pang Rui, are you still waiting for me to call you the imperial brother?" Lin Jian smiled coldly and immediately stepped forward.

He really didn't come to find Pang Rui today, he was passing by here, and when he saw Pang Hou's Mansion, he couldn't help but think of Linghu Full Moon.

In the past three years, he and Pang Rui have rarely met.

Pang Ruiwo is almost at home in the Hou Mansion, and Lin Jian is busy with government affairs all day long, and he has to deal with the Western Regions and Northern Liao, which have long had different intentions, so on the surface, he is also safe.

"Your Majesty, the minister's surname is Pang, he doesn't change his name in life and doesn't change his surname in death, if the minister's surname is Lin, it won't be the emperor's turn to give Lin Dongyao the seven cups of blood to save his life. Linghu Manyue had no way to do it here, so he had to do that thing as a last resort. If the emperor thinks about it carefully, doesn't he understand everything? ”

"Pang Rui! I've given you a chance, and if you want to keep pretending, I don't have the patience to continue watching you act. Lin Jian's eyes were like frost, no matter what Pang Rui said, he wouldn't believe it.

Pang Rui shook his head, his face was full of sincerity, but Lin Jian regarded it as hypocritical and cunning.

"Your Majesty, the emperor doesn't believe the truth when the minister tells the truth, and the emperor has to take it seriously when others tell lies. Anyway, the minister can't cut out his heart, can he? The emperor is free. ”

"Pang Rui! How dare you speak to the emperor like this? ”

Su Kang spoke from behind Lin Jian, his eyes like a torch.

Pang Rui smiled,

"The dogs around the emperor bark very loudly, but no matter how loud the sound is, isn't it still a dog?" Pang Rui naturally didn't have a good tone towards Su Kang.

"Su Kang, step aside." Lin Jian glanced at Pang Rui and ordered in a deep voice.

Su Kang obediently stepped back, but his eyes looked at Pang Rui with a hint of murderous aura.

Lin Jian looked at Pang Rui again, but there was a hint of strangeness in his eyes, and he faintly smelled a familiar smell between his snorts.

"Your Majesty, do you want to go in and sit? It seems that the emperor has not yet entered this very yin Pang Hou Mansion! Pang Rui made a gesture of please.

The next moment, Lin Jian didn't say anything, turned around and left.

Su Kang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked,

"Your Majesty, are you going back to the palace?"

"Don't go back, just walk around." Lin Jian shook his head, didn't look at Pang Rui, and went straight to the carriage.

Pang Rui looked at Lin Jian's back as he left in a hurry, but his heart chuckled inexplicably.

Lin Jian seemed to have discovered something just now-

"Steward Zheng, go home." Pang Rui also followed and turned around and returned to Pang Hou's Mansion.

Steward Zheng was still wondering why the emperor said to leave as soon as he left, but seeing that Pang Rui also entered the Hou Mansion in a hurry, Steward Zheng suddenly felt inexplicably nervous.

――

Pang Hou Mansion, study, the door is closed

Steward Zheng saw Pang Rui standing alone in front of the window and was silent for a long time, and he didn't say much, and stood aside with his eyes down.

After a while, the spy sent by Pang Rui returned to the Hou Mansion.

"Where did Lin Jian go?" Without waiting for the spy to speak, Pang Rui had already taken the lead in asking questions.

"Back to the Hou Ye, the emperor did go around Kyoto, and he didn't deliberately stop anywhere. Before the subordinates returned, the emperor's motorcade went in the direction of the palace. The news of the secret agent seemed to be in common sense, but what lingered in Pang Rui's mind was the strange and deep eyes before Lin Jian left, and he always felt as if Lin Jian had discovered something.

"Steward Zheng, you go to the Hou Mansion in person, let the Marquis of Linghu personally enter the palace, as for the reason for entering the palace, let him think of one himself, the purpose is to see if the emperor is in the palace. If he is pushed out without even seeing the emperor's face, then send someone to inform me immediately. ”

"Yes, Master Hou."

Seeing that Pang Rui was so nervous, Steward Zheng didn't dare to delay and turned to leave.

After Steward Zheng left, Pang Rui's face became more and more tense.

Outside the window, the north wind howled sharply, like an incomparably sharp knife cutting through the heart in an instant.

――

At the same time, an ordinary and simple blue cloth carriage was speeding towards the outskirts of Beijing. Sitting in the car was Lin Jian, who Pang Rui suspected.

Along the way, Lin Jian was frowning deeply, and his face was pale. Even if he had deceived Pang Rui just now and jumped out of the side of the carriage when he turned the corner, he didn't feel the slightest sense of ease.

"Your Majesty, there are very few people in front of this mountain, and there is no mountain road, usually even those who dig ginseng rarely go in, they all say that this mountain is evil, not only can not dig ginseng, but also evil spirits, if ordinary people trespass without permission, they will be possessed and hurt by evil spirits."

Su Kang stopped the carriage and turned around and said.

"Is I an ordinary person?" Lin Jian lifted the curtain, and the ink pupils were cold.

Su Kang hurriedly lowered his head,

"Subordinate convicted!"

"Less nonsense! All you say is a rumor, who has seen an evil spirit with his own eyes? Who is really possessed by evil spirits? I don't believe it! There must be a way into the mountains! Send someone to find it! Be sure to find your way into the mountains within an hour! ”

Lin Jian ordered in a cold voice, his eyes full of complicated expectations and awe-inspiring coldness.

He smelled the mint powder that Ling Fox Manyue used to use most on Pang Rui, a qiē that belonged to her, even if it was blank for three years, he would not forget the slightest bit.

He had also ordered the four rooms in the palace to prepare mint powder, but no matter how it was concocted, it was not the kind of taste she used. He also knows that the preparation of perfume powder is completely a person's method and proportion, and a little other materials are added to the incense powder, and the changes produced after mixing will make the taste ever-changing.

So, for three years, he couldn't find the taste he wanted.

But Pang Rui will have it!!

He and Pang Rui don't meet often, Pang Rui obviously came back from outside today, his spies found out that Pang Rui was going out for a walk, although there was no suspicion, but the smell of Pang Rui was real. Moreover, the mint powder can be stored for a maximum of one year after being concocted, so what Pang Rui is using now is definitely not what was left over from before Linghu was full moon, but what she had only recently concocted.

As for how Pang Rui got it, the answer is self-evident - Pang Rui has seen her!

To be precise, Pang Rui has not broken contact with her in the past three years!

In the past three years, only he, Lin Jian, has been kept in the dark!

Just now, he ordered the carriage to go around in Kyoto, but he marked the place where Pang Rui had frequented in the past three years on the map, because it was impossible for the hidden guards to track Pang Rui all the time, so Lin Jian excluded all the places that Pang Rui had been to that he could find, only this direction had not been checked, but here are all barren mountains and mountains, and there is nothing suspicious if he has seen it in other places, only this place where there is no mountain road is the most uneasy for Lin Jian.

Lin Jian trusted his instincts, this time, even if he turned over this mountain, he would check it to the end!

"Su Kang!" Lin Jian suddenly thought of something, and immediately called Su Kang not far away.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are here."

"Be careful when looking for the way, don't act rashly, expose the target, send hidden guards to find it, and report any findings immediately, and never startle the snake!!"

Lin Jian asked so much, and he had to complete it within an hour, Su Kang's back was already in cold sweat, and he didn't dare to pause for a moment after the order.

In the carriage, Lin Jian looked around, the mountain wind was howling, the forest was bleak, and he rarely saw it in the winter on the outskirts of Beijing, compared with the brocade and gilt in the palace all year round, it was more realistic here.

If she really hid in here, how could she be without helpers? Lin Dongyao couldn't do it with his own eyes, could it be that Pang Rui found it for her here?

It can't be either!

After all, Pang Rui has been in the desert Gobi for eight years, how can he know more about Kyoto than him! Except for Lin Dongyao and Lin Donghe, there can be no one else!

Lin Donghe has been locked up in a prison by him, and it is impossible for Lin Donghe to sue the fox for the full moon! Then only Lin Dongyao is the most suspicious!

A name that should have completely disappeared three years ago suddenly appeared at this moment, and Lin Jian's eyes were instantly covered with rain.

――

An hour later, Su Kang ran back quickly, his face and hands covered with bruises and scratches.

"Your Majesty! Found the way!! ”

Su Kang said, pointing to a place where there were faint crowds in the distance.

"I found a secret passage there, it should lead to the mountain, there is a mechanism at the entrance of the secret passage, and my subordinates have ordered everyone to stay in place and wait for the emperor's order."

Almost as soon as Su Kang's words fell, Lin Jian had already stepped out of the carriage and strode in the direction that Su Kang pointed.

"Your Majesty! Be careful - there may be a lot of traps around here. Su Kang didn't dare to be careless, and reminded Lin Jian nervously.

"I'm here, what else is there to be afraid of! I don't believe it, Lin Dongyao didn't die twice, I won't be as hard as he is!! ”

Lin Jian gritted his teeth and spoke, his eyes spewing fire.

A moment ago, he completely overturned the facts he had previously believed! If Linghu Full Moon is willing to stay here for three years, then Lin Dongyao is still alive nine times out of ten! Otherwise, with her temperament, if Lin Dongyao is really gone, if she has the heart to hide, she won't even see Pang Rui!!

At this moment, Lin Jian's whole body was covered with murderous aura, and a raging fire seemed to be ignited in his ink pupils, eager to swallow up the entire mountain and forest.

Su Kang didn't dare to say more, and lowered his head to follow behind Lin Jian.

――

Yamanaka Annex

Full Moon was instructing Yin Xiu to bring the items that had to be taken away, and Qi Yuan sat on a small bench beside him, his hands on his cheeks, staring at Full Moon curiously with big eyes.

"Mother, you want Aunt Yinxiu to take the things that must be taken away, so is Qiyuan considered to be the mother's must take away?"

Qi Yuan's innocent and simple words instantly added a touch of warmth to the originally tense atmosphere.

The full moon stopped, walked up to her, took her soft and warm little body in his arms, and kissed her forehead,

"Qiyuan and the mother are a whole, where the mother is there, it is natural to take Qiyuan, not only Qiyuan but also Daddy, our family of three will never be separated."

"Mother, but didn't you say that we will only leave here when Daddy wakes up, why do you want to move out today? Aunt Tie Ying said that Qi Yuan's big wooden horse can't be taken away, and there are many things that Uncle Xiaoli made for Qi Yuan can't be taken away-"

Qi Yuan pouted, but he was still sensible and didn't cry, but his eyes and nose were red, which made people feel distressed to look at.

The tip of the full moon's nose touched Qi Yuan's cheek and said softly,

"Qi Yuan, those can make new ones for you, it's not safe for us to live here now, my mother will take you and Daddy to other safer places."

The words of the full moon made Qi Yuan even more incomprehensible,

"Why isn't it safe? Will there be such a big yard in other places, there will be a boardwalk, and there will be a stream? ”

Qi Yuan said that she liked the place the most.

Full Moon shook her head, although she couldn't bear to see Qi Yuan's disappointed little eyes, she didn't want to deceive her.

Because where she is going in the future, she really doesn't know!

Just now the flying eagle sent the news, Lin Jian led people to the outside of the mountain, and also found a secret way into the mountain. When Lin Dongyao built the secret passage, it was possible to pass a carriage, and once Lin Jian opened the secret passage and the carriage came in, they would soon find this place.

Lin Jian and they traveled lightly, she dragged her family, Qi Yuan was young and had to take a carriage, Lin Dongyao could only lie down, the carriage could not be too fast, nor could it travel too long at a time, he had to stop and rest in half an hour, and he could only continue to set off after Wei Feng checked him.

So they have to go now!

Except for the cotton clothes in winter and the dry food along the way, nothing else can be taken away!

"Qi Yuan is my mother's good baby, I listen to my mother the most, although my mother doesn't dare to guarantee that she will give Qi Yuan a yard bigger than here in the future, but my mother knows that what Qi Yuan wants is to be with my mother, isn't it?"

She patiently coaxed Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan blinked his big eyes and nodded sensibly,

"Well, Qi Yuan is with his mother and father, he is not afraid of anything, there is no big yard, no wooden plank road, no big wooden horse, Qi Yuan is not afraid, it is enough for Qi Yuan to ask for his mother and father."

After finishing speaking, she kissed her fiercely on the cheek of the full moon, and her face was full of saliva.

At this time, Yang Xiaoli had already run in at a gallop.

"Madame, it's time to go! The emperor's people will pass through the guò secret path at any time! ”

Yang Xiaoli didn't care about taking a breath and spoke anxiously.
