After seeing Lei Yu retreat from the court. A man among the onlookers took a deep look at the second elder Wang Qingshan, who was still kneeling on the ground, and silently withdrew from the crowd.

Along the way, he also looked left and right, frequently turned back, and looked around. It seems that he is afraid that someone will follow him. Finally, I walked to a winding path leading to a secluded place, and came to a grace garden called Youhuanli.

The man looked back nervously again, and after making sure that it was safe, he pushed open the door and stepped into the main entrance in the secluded grate.

In this secluded grate, the courtyard is indeed as its name suggests.

When the man stepped into the hospital, what caught his eye was a piece of slanted bamboo with thousands of poles as green as jade, and the bamboo leaves rustled in the wind, bringing a wisp of unique fragrance and elegance belonging to bamboo. The man was intoxicated by the green and jade scenery in this courtyard, and he couldn't help but lose his mind for a while, and couldn't help but quote the scriptures and praise "The bamboo is deep and the trees are densely insected, and there is a slight coolness that is not the wind"

Behind the bamboo curtain, you can vaguely see a solid wood tea table, and a person sitting at the front of the table, dressed in bamboo green clothes, is cooking tea. Hearing that, the man couldn't help but chant the famous sentence in Yang Wanli's "Chasing the Cool on a Summer Night". Raising his eyes to look at the teapot, with a faint smile, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation to the man.

The man understood, and bowed to the person sitting in the bamboo curtain before getting up and walking towards the bamboo forest.

When he arrived at the table, the man in the bamboo-colored robe smiled and said to the man, "Please take a seat", and then the man dared to sit down.

The man was obviously a little cramped, so much so that the boy in a long shirt and cooking tea seemed to see the man's nervousness, smiled lightly, lifted the teapot, added new tea to the teacup in front of the man, and slowly put the teapot on the stove before speaking

"Try it, the bamboo leaf tea I just cooked, this bamboo leaf is taken from this dragon scale bamboo in my courtyard"

This son's voice is warm and delicate, listen carefully, and there is a bit of femininity engraved in the bones.

The man bowed slightly, carefully lifted the teacup in front of the table, and drank the tea from the cup.

Then he gently lowered the teacup in his hand and spoke to the boy in the bamboo-colored robe

"Childe, I have ...... what you told me to do"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the boy in a bamboo-colored robe.

"Don't worry, this bamboo leaf tea is a fire in the heart, don't be impetuous, be careful to break the artistic conception here" After speaking, he kindly lifted the tea in the teapot and added a cup of tea to the man.

The man looked at him with a slight apology, but he still looked a little anxious.

The boy in the bamboo-colored robe looked at the bamboo leaf tea he had poured, raised his chin slightly towards the man, and motioned for him to continue drinking.

After the experience of drinking a cup of tea, the man only took a sip of the tea. Then he gently placed the tea on the table.

The boy in the bamboo-colored robe saw the man's elegant movements, and smiled lightly after hooking his lips and smiling

"I know what you're here to say"

"That being the case, I also ask the princess to fulfill her promise and give me a sum of gold, silver and jewelry, I will leave the country overnight, and I will never come back in this life, and I will rot in my stomach what the prince asked me to do."

The man who was called Gongzi looked at the man in front of him and smiled lightly, "Don't worry, Ben Gongzi has already prepared for you, after drinking this cup of tea, you can go"

After listening to the boy in the bamboo-colored robe, the man's face finally showed a little joy.

After nodding with a smile, he picked up the teacup and drank the tea in the cup. Then he put the cup on the table and got up, and bowed to the boy in the bamboo-colored robe.

"Childe, then I will say goodbye first, and from now on the rivers and lakes are far away, so let's not see each other."

The boy in the bamboo-colored robe looked at the man with a smile and did not speak, but nodded slightly.

The man had just turned and taken two steps when he fell to the ground.

I felt a sharp pain in my intestines. Reacted to the problem of the cup of tea, lying on the ground and raised his hand to the boy in a bamboo-colored robe, "You, you don't talk much"

Looking at the man who was in pain on the ground and dying, Hou Manqi stood up slowly, showing elegance and dignity in his gestures.

Still smiling lightly, he walked up to the man, squatting down lightly and staring at the man who suddenly realized at this moment

"Heh, this poison given by Shi Wanqing is really useful"

After the man heard him, his eyes were full of disbelief, it turned out that this son was really a woman.

"You, you're actually a woman," he said, crawling towards the door.

Hou Manqi looked at the dying man, stood up with a light smile, took out a jade flute from his sleeve, and brought it to his mouth.

The man suddenly felt a melody drift into his ears with the wind.

In doubt, I only felt that my blood was surging. After spitting out a mouthful of blood. He fell to the ground with his eyes wide open, and this death seemed to be unwilling.

Hou Manqi saw that the man was dead, and after putting away the jade flute in his hand without changing his face, he called softly towards the empty bamboo forest

"Xiao Zhai"

Then a man about the same age as Hou Manli appeared in front of the man who had just died.

After seeing Hou Manqi, he spoke

"Manqi, I've said it all, change me Zhuang Zhai, don't call me Xiao Zhai"

Seeing Hou Manqi smiled lightly and didn't speak.

Zhuang Zhai looked at the man who was already dead. Bending down and touching the folding fan in his hand, he straightened up and spoke

"This is dead?"

Hou Manqi nodded towards Zhuang Zhai. He spoke softly

"Xiao Zhai, you helped me dispose of the body, I'm in a bit of a hurry now, I'm in a hurry to deal with it"

Zhuang Zhai looked at Hou Manqi, pretending to be careless and said, "Who said just now that bamboo leaf tea is a fire in the heart, don't be impetuous."

Hou Manqi paused and said, "Don't joke with you, I really have something urgent."

"Go, go, I'll take care of it for you, don't worry," Zhuang Zhai said.

Hearing this, Hou Manqi nodded gratefully to Zhuang Zhai and walked into a room, and when she came out again, she had already turned into a weak girl with a slim and beautiful hibiscus face.

He left the gated area with broken steps.

The moment the door is about to be closed. Zhuang Zhai opened his mouth and called

"Manpray, be careful on the road"

Hou Manqi nodded, closed the door in the grate, and left the grate.

Hou Manqi walked all the way out of the secluded fence, and finally came to Shifu.

When the Shifu family saw Hou Manqi, they stepped forward to salute one after another

"I've seen the county lord"

Hou Manqi waved his hand and walked into the gate of Shifu with his skirt.

When he arrived outside Shi Wanqing's door, he raised his hand and gently knocked on Shi Wanqing's door.

"Wanqing, Wanqing, open the door"

Shi Wanqing had been waiting for Hou Manqi's news, and was anxious in the house. I heard the sound of Hou Manqi knocking on the door. immediately stepped forward, opened the door, and pulled Hou Manqi into the room. only tentatively spoke

"Manpray, has anyone followed you along the way?"

Hou Manqi smiled innocently, pretending to be stupid and said, "Don't worry, Wanqing, I'm careful, I'm not being followed."

Shi Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the stupid Hou Manqi,

He tentatively asked, "Then, how did I let you do with the Shadow Guard?"

Hou Manqi sneered in his heart, but on the surface, he still spoke stupidly towards Shi Wanqing

"Wow, didn't you see it, that man died so miserably, that ghost boy really deserves his reputation"

Listening to Hou Manqi's silly words, Shi Wanqing lowered her eyes and smiled proudly, and when she raised her eyes again, she had already changed to the gentle appearance she had just looked, touched Hou Manqi's head with a smile, and said, "Manqi, you are my best friend, these things are the secret between us, I don't want anyone to know."

"Don't worry, Wanqing, I like to keep secrets with others, this is a little secret between us, how can I let others know" Hou Manqi still said stupidly.

"Then I'll rest assured, let's go, I'll take you to eat something delicious," Shi Wanqing took Monkey Hou Manqi's hand and said.

"Well, I don't want to eat, I heard that the two princesses were imprisoned The princess said that if you want to poison it, now is the best time, and there will be no such a good opportunity in the future, but I won't poison it" Hou Manqi said stupidly, and poked his hand angrily.

Shi Wanqing's brows tightened after hearing what Hou Manqi said, as if an evil thought had arisen in the bottom of her heart.

"Wanqing Wanqing, what are you thinking? Thinking so much" Shi Wanqing, who was recalled by Hou Manqi's voice, immediately changed into a gentle appearance, and smiled and said to Hou Manqi

"Ah, I'm wondering if Manqi doesn't want to stay in my house to eat, is it because he wants to go back to the house to eat something more delicious."

"No, I don't really want to eat today, I've been running outside for a day today, I'm so tired, I want to go back home and rest"

"Oh" Shi Wanqing pretended to be suddenly enlightened, touched Hou Manqi's head and continued to speak

"Oh, look at my busyness, I've forgotten about it, I've been running outside for a day today, alas, I'm tired of coming to Manqi, so let's go back and rest first."

"Hmm," Hou Manqi nodded with a smile.

"Then Wanqing, I'll go back first, and I'll come back to you in two days, okay?"

"Okay, okay, since I'm tired today, let's go back and rest first," Shi Wanqing said.

Shi Wanqing sent Hou Manqi to the door, Hou Manqi smiled and said, "Wanqing Wanqing doesn't need to send it, Manqi can walk back by himself, you go back quickly." After speaking, he trotted down the stairs of Shifu and beckoned to Shi Wanqing.

Shi Wanqing also nodded and said, "Then you should be careful on the road." ”

Farewell Shi Wanqing, the silly energy on Hou Manqi's body just now is gone. Changing into a normal and gentle face, he walked back to the Hou Mansion with small steps.

After entering the waiting house, he immediately ordered himself to be a personal maid

"Ah Yun, go get ready, I'm going to bathe"

After saying that, he pushed the door and entered his room.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Zhuang Zhai sitting lazily on the coffee table and sipping tea slowly.

Startled Hou Manqi. Then Hou Manqi closed the door tightly. Grim questioned

"Didn't you say that? We're all grown up now, you can't just come into my room like this anymore."

Zhuang Zhai shrugged. I'm not going to talk.

The two were at a stalemate for a while.

There was a sound of luck outside the door

"Group leader, Ah Yun is ready, you can come and bathe"

Hou Manqi looked at Zhuang Zhai, who was still sitting on the coffee table and tasting tea, and said, "I'm going to take a bath, aren't you leaving?" ”

"Why do you want to bathe in broad daylight" Zhuang Zhai was puzzled.

"If you have been touched by a dirty person, of course you have to wash it," Hou Manqi said.

"You're talking about Shi Wanqing, since you hate her so much, why do you have to pretend to be stupid and be a puppy leg by his side," Zhuang Zhai asked.

"I naturally have my reasons, don't worry about it, you go back quickly, I'm really going to bathe" Hou Manqi said a little impatiently.

Zhuang Zhai looked at Hou Manqi and smiled self-deprecatingly, and then quietly exited Hou Manqi's room.
