In the fifth year of Taihe, October Jiashen, Sizheng.

Chang'an, Wannian County, somewhere in Pingkangfang.

Being asked by An Shouyue, Xuanji's eyes were stunned at first, she looked at An Shouyue for a moment, and then her heart was shrouded in a trace of surprise.

Only because of a detail suddenly crossed Xuanji's mind, when she bumped into An Shouyue at the corner of the stairs, she looked upstairs from where he was standing, and she shouldn't have seen anything at all, and Xuanji never revealed the identity of the person who was killed along the way, why could he tell that he was following a forbidden soldier at this moment?

But...... Xuanji has always been very accurate in judging people's eyes, and An Shouyue's eyes at this moment have no earlier frivolity, nor deception and malice; Besides, she estimated that if she didn't talk about it first, An Shouyue was afraid that she would not have an answer to her question.

Xuanji first put down the doubts in her heart, brushed her thoughts in her mind a little, and then said a little to An Shouyue. The reason why she chose to follow the murdered forbidden soldier at that time was actually very simple, it was nothing more than because the murder case in Qingfeng Pavilion yesterday made her wary of the forbidden soldier who traveled alone, so she followed all the way from Guangdefang to the wine shop in Beiqu, Xishi, but she didn't expect to become the first witness.

An Shouyue listened quietly, perhaps this reason was slightly different from what he thought, and there was some disappointment in his deep eyes. He pondered carefully, clasped his arms with both hands, and suddenly grabbed a suspicious point and asked, "Guangdefang is located in Chang'an County, a few miles away from Pingkangli, where the little lady lives...... The little lady has nothing to do, why did she work tirelessly to show up in Guangde? ”

Xuanji was a little uncomfortable by this question, after Luo Yao's death yesterday, Wannian County asked the Qingfeng Pavilion Qingqi Qingqi one by one for details, of course, including herself, for a total of two or three hours. As a result, she was now extremely sensitive and uncomfortable with the feeling of being interrogated.

"It's not about the foot......"

"Oh yes?" An Shouyue scratched the back of his head with a wry smile, raised his head exaggeratedly and sighed, "Knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing hearts, An gave up his life to save him, but in the end he ended up in a situation where he was suspected of being suspicious and suspicious......"

As for it? Xuanji was speechless when she heard this, what is wrong with this guy, why did he return to the noisy and pompous appearance in the wine shop? Besides, none of the questions in her heart have been answered, but this hexagram has begun to sell miserably. But what he said was right, Xuanji really couldn't refute the fact that he saved himself.

In the end, Xuanji had to write lightly, "Xuanji is going to meet a friend...... and she remembered that she had never actually told An to keep her name.

"A friend?" An Shouyue's eyes flashed, he keenly sensed the unnatural tone of Xuanji's tone when he said this, and felt that there was an article in it, so he said, "I'm afraid it's not a benefactor, right?" ”

Hearing this, Xuanji's cheeks flushed, and she hurriedly emphasized shyly, "No! It's just that...... Friend! ”

An Shou made an appointment to see Xuanji's reaction, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he almost guessed seven or eight percent in his heart. He laughed, but there was a hint of bad taste in his heart, and then asked, "Is it a lover?" ”

"I told you, no!" Xuanji's face turned red, she now knew why she was so disgusted when she first met this person in Xishi, this person's frivolous appearance was really annoying. Xuanji said with a cold face, "Xuanji has already done what he has requested, as detailed as he has explained, can he tell me honestly now?" ”

An Shouyue looked at Xuanji and said, "I know everything." ”

"Who the hell are you?"

"Under the surname An, the name abides by the contract, the little lady should know ......"

"I'm not asking this," Xuanji glanced at him, "Zushicai also said that you are not a hexagram, so why did Zuxia show up at that wine shop yesterday?" Why did you choose to strike up a conversation with me? In the end, why did you follow all the way today, but in the end you came to the rescue? ”

Xuanji asked a series of questions from the bottom of her heart, and although she didn't get an answer, the feeling in her heart was a little better than if she had just buried it deep in her heart.

An Shouyue rubbed the mustache on his upper lip with some hesitation, and smacked his mouth, "I can't tell An a few times ago......"

"Didn't you say that you know everything?" Xuanji was a little annoyed, why does this guy have no gentlemanly virtue and don't practice his words?

"It's not that I don't tell the little lady, it's just that the time has not come, and many times, the less you know, the safer." An Shouyue put away his frivolous expression and looked serious, "But...... An can be revealed. Shicai chose to follow all the way, and finally came to the rescue, just because he mistakenly thought that the little lady was pursuing the same big case with him. ”

"Big case?" Xuanji's heart sank, could it be the secret that this guy said and Brother Yijun were tracking...... Is it the same pile?

An Shouyue could only reveal this, he bowed his head slightly, and silently swallowed back the words that came to his mouth. The bells and drums of Zhufang rang one after another, and the people of Chang'an knew that the curfew was approaching, and another day was about to pass. An Shouyue turned around and carefully examined the next three corpses in turn, and seized the knife of one of them, which hung on his waist.

"Huh?" An Shouyue suddenly squatted down beside the "Hu Shang", and he stared at this person's neck for a long time, and found that the green tendons on this person's neck were beating weakly. An Shouyue snorted with his hand, raised his head and said to Xuanji, "He's still alive......"

Xuanji's eyes were slightly surprised, and when she looked closely, she could indeed notice that this person's chest was rising and falling slightly. This "Hu Shang" was pale, and she couldn't tell which clan he was from, and she remembered that Fang An Shou had stabbed him in the lower abdomen clearly, but apparently his strong and burly figure was enough for him to still have a trace of breath after suffering that kind of injury.

Xuanji also squatted down, she took out a handkerchief, and was about to hold down the person's wound, and said, "Do you want to notify the nearest hospital?" But he shook his head and stopped for An Shouyu.

"Useless ......" An Shouyue was expressionless at the moment, and there was no joke in his tone. He knew very well the strength of his sword, although this person was still alive, he was not far from becoming a corpse.

An Shou leaned into the man's ear and said something in a deep voice.

This is nonsense, Xuanji squatted aside, although she heard it clearly, she didn't understand. She remembered that An Shouyue had said that her mother was a Hui. What he had just said sounded like some kind of greeting, because Xuanji vaguely remembered hearing Hu Ke greet each other with this phrase at the orchid restaurant this morning.

Xu heard what An Shouyue said clearly, and "Hu Shang"'s eyeballs rolled a few times under his eyelids, obviously his consciousness had not completely dissipated with the gradually lost life.

An Shouyue knew that since this Hu man understood the reply he asked just now, he must have been born in Mobei. He himself is of mixed Han and Hu descent, and the Hu people have their own circles, and he knows too well this group of Hui people entrenched in Chang'an. If it is said that in the past, the Hui Khanate could compete with the Tang Dynasty and Tubo in the south, but now it is only the shell of a steppe wolf, and it has long lost its past glory, and the internal strife is not stopping, and it is about to die; This group of Hui people living in Chang'an City is the same, they have no dignity, they dare to do anything for money, it's just who pays the highest price and goes with whom.

Xuanji stood aside, seeing that this person was dying, she didn't know what idea An Shouyue had in her heart after pondering for a long time. If this person is breathing, won't the last opportunity for a little interrogation also slip away?

Just as Xuanji wanted to remind him, An Shouyue leaned down again and said something in Huiyu. This time, Xuanji didn't capture the words in it at all. Although "Hu Shang" opened his eyes, he still didn't say a word, but his heaving chest showed that he was still alive.

An Shouyue's brows were almost twisted together, the corners of his lips were slightly raised unnoticed, and he said another reply. This can be guessed from the tone of the question, which seems to be a confirmation question, and Xuanji vaguely caught a word from it, which seems to be Tang dialect......

After a good while, "Hu Shang's" lips finally opened a slit, and spit out a short sentence from it, and in this sentence, Xuanji also heard the words that An Shouyue had just mentioned.

An Shouyue's face was slightly surprised at first, and then he smiled indifferently.

"What did he say?" Xuanji couldn't help but ask.

Seeing that An Shouyue didn't respond to her, Xuanji said, "I also have something to ask him......"

An Shouyue raised his head, Xuanji's slender figure just stood in the open porch, and the morning sun shot in from outside the wooden pavilion, so that he couldn't see Xuanji's expression clearly.

"He doesn't speak Tang dialect."

Xuanji's thin eyebrows frowned, a Hu businessman, even if he was a fake, mixed in the Western Capital, how could he not know half a sentence of Tang dialect?

Xuanji simply ignored An Shou's covenant and leaned down. She was about to speak, but found that "Hu Shang" had closed his eyes, and the question he had just answered seemed to have exhausted his last strength, and he exhaled his last breath, and his original hideous face became serene and soft under the reflection of the morning sun.
