Before he could finish speaking, Hongshi interrupted: "I have already said that Xu Guiren's affairs have nothing to do with me, you have time to spend here, I am not as idle as you, and I have to rush to the criminal department to run an errand." After that, he ignored Hongli anymore and went straight to the sedan chair and rushed to the criminal department.

Hongli stood in place, showing a thoughtful look, although Hongshi didn't mean to mention Xu's just now, and avoided his words, but he still found a very strange thing, that is, Hongshi didn't care about Xu's safety as much as he did last night, as if he wasn't afraid that she would be hurt again, was Hongshi covering it up too well, even he couldn't see it, or was there another reason?

Hongli thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with a clue, so he had to suppress these thoughts and ride away.

Besides, on Hongshi's side, as soon as he entered the criminal department, he asked people to bring up the case files that had been pending before, trying to erase the shadows that flashed in his mind from time to time by being busy, but the effect was not good, and the shadows still flashed from time to time, so that he couldn't see the files that had been open for a long time. When he got to the back, he was even more annoyed, closed the case file casually, and walked out of the criminal department quickly. ”

Wang Zhong hurriedly prepared two horses according to his words, but when he was about to turn over and get on the horse, Hongshi did not allow him to follow, so he could only watch Hongshi ride his horse away.

Hongshi did not return to the palace, but ran directly out of the city gate, all the way to Hui'an Temple, but he was unable to move forward when he could see Hui'an Temple. Since last night, he has always wanted to see the Xu family, but he knows that he can't go over like this, otherwise unless he kills all the people in Hui'an Temple, he will have nothing to do.

Although I couldn't go in, I didn't leave, silently sitting on horseback and looking at Hui'an Temple, I don't know how long it took, I heard the sound of twilight drums in my ears, and quietly found that the sky had darkened. The night is like a huge net, slowly swallowing up all the light......

Hiroshi knew that it would not be long before the city gates would be closed, but he refused to leave, and instead allowed the night to envelop him.

Xu didn't know that Lu Daohong was outside the temple at the moment, she was the same as the previous two days, chanting sutras and praying, and Yilin, who was killed last night, had also been buried in the ground.

Just when the night was about to fall, the Ouchi guards who were sent to the palace to spread the message came back, and there were more than a dozen Ouchi guards who came back with him, and Yinzhen was sent to protect the Xu family after learning that there were "Jiangyang thieves" in Hui'an Temple, as for this case, it has also been reported to Shuntianfu, and Shuntianfu will do its best to investigate.

Xu has been kneeling in front of the Buddha until the second watch, before being helped back to her temporary room by Zirong, after washing, Zirong turned off the lights in the room and retreated.

Xu Shi lay on the bed and fell asleep in a daze, she didn't sleep well, from time to time she dreamed of Yilin, who was killed last night, it was the first time she really felt death like this, she was still a living person a moment ago, and she became a corpse in an instant, it was really terrible.

I don't know how long it took, Xu woke up from his daze, and the room where all the candles had been extinguished was very dark, only a little moonlight shining in through the window paper. Xu didn't know if Lu Dao had a lot of heart, but she felt that there was another person in the room, and she said tentatively: "Zirong, is it you?" ”

No one replied to her words, but the feeling of someone in the room was getting stronger and stronger, Xu Shi groped out of bed and touched into the darkness, "Who?" Who's there? ”

The door opened suddenly, and a dark shadow rushed out of the house, and Xu Shi panicked and didn't know where to get the courage to chase after him. The unconcealed moonlight made her see the figure that flashed out of the house clearly, and her movements were very fast, and she was about to walk out of the yard.

Looking at the figure with his back to him, three words suddenly appeared in Xu's heart, and the next moment, these three words appeared in her mouth, "Second elder brother?" ”

Xu didn't know why he would call out these three words, because it sounded so ridiculous, this is Hui'an Temple, how could Hongshi appear here, this is simply impossible.

However, the figure who was about to walk out of sight was shocked by her words, and even stopped walking.

Xu Shi stared at the figure that stopped in front of him, the moonlight, his eyes flashed, this figure was really familiar, it seemed to be ...... Second Elder Brother, is it really him, otherwise, why did he stop when he heard his words?

Thinking of this, she couldn't hold it anymore, ran over with her floor-length bedclothes, and ran all the way to the front of the person, and at the moment she saw it clearly, she covered her mouth hard, because this person was really Hongshi, really...... It's really Hiroshi. If she hadn't covered it like this, she was really afraid that she would have screamed.

After a long time, she put down the hand covering her mouth and said in a trembling voice: "Second elder brother, you ...... How did you end up here? ”

Hongshi originally just wanted to secretly send into Xu's house to take a look at her, but he didn't plan to meet her, but Xu woke up and chased him out, and recognized himself.

Hongshi was about to speak, when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside, and he knew that it must be Xu's voice that alarmed the Ouchi guards who were guarding outside, and he just took advantage of the opportunity of the change of guards to sneak in.

In order not to be discovered, he didn't care about explaining, pulled Xu up and ran back to the side room, and then quickly closed the door. Just when the door was closed, Ouchi's guards came to this relatively secluded courtyard and searched around, but found nothing unusual. One of them came over and knocked on Xu's door and said, "Xu Guiren? Xu Guiren? ”

Xu's reaction was not slow, pretending to be like he had just woken up, and said vaguely: "What's wrong?" ”

"My subordinates and others just heard some movement here, I wonder if you heard or saw anything?"

Xu Shi pressed the tension in his heart and said, "I was sleeping just now, and I didn't wake up until you knocked on the door." ”

When the Ouchi guard heard this, his heart was slightly relieved, and he said: "The subordinates don't disturb the nobles to rest, if the nobles have something, just call their subordinates." ”

Xu Shi thought for a while and said, "I know the way, but I don't like people outside when I rest, so you better stay away and go to the courtyard to guard." She vaguely remembered that this voice seemed to be the leader of the group of Ouchi guards behind her, surnamed Liu.

"Subordinates obey!" After the footsteps faded away, Xu Shi let out a long breath, clutched his chest, which had been beating sharply since just now, and asked the words that had been hidden in his heart, "Second Elder Brother, why are you here?" ”

Hongshi looked at her silently, and his eyes gradually became gentle in the night, "I know that someone attacked Hui'an Temple last night, and I am afraid that you are in danger, so come and take a look." ”

"You...... Coming to see me? Xu asked a little stunned, and after seeing Hongshi nodding, an indescribable emotion filled her chest, making her not know what to say.
