Chapter 117: Confrontation
Xi Duyun didn't ask him about the treasure, but only asked him if there was any danger on his side, and told him to take care of himself.
It's the simplest thing to say.
Homely.
Thinking of this word, Qi Lichen smiled.
Obviously, a few months ago, this word was out of reach for him, but now, he is used to it, and he can't get used to it anymore.
He slowly folded the letter and put it away gently, and instructed Bai Ze to bring a pen and paper to reply to the letter.
In the pavilion, the sun is warm, the breeze is blowing, the man sitting at the table is writing letters, his eyebrows and eyes are gentle, and from a distance, the fairy-like figure looks like a person who has come out of a book.
Bai Ze and Bai Bing stood not far away, and they couldn't help but feel relieved when they looked at this scene.
"Ever since Childe met Madame, he has really become more and more smoky." Bai Bing, who has always been cold-faced, couldn't help but sigh.
In the past, Qi Lichen only knew how to take revenge, and the ruthless anger between his eyebrows and eyes could not dissipate, how could he be so good-tempered as today to reply to a girl's family.
It's something they would never have dared to think about before.
Bai Ze on the side nodded, but he was more worried in his heart.
Childe cares so much about his wife, but he is afraid that one day he will be used by someone with a heart. You must know that any strong person, once he has a weakness, will eventually become a stumbling block on his way forward.
He thought of Xi Duyun.
Hopefully, that peculiar woman will be a help to Childe, not a weakness or a stumbling block for him.
He quickly wrote a letter and sent it to Qi County.
Here, as soon as the letter was sent, Bai Ze got a message.
"Childe, according to Huang Xu's news, the prime minister will send someone to test it, thinking about it, it should be to verify the truth of what Huang Xu said, according to speculation, it is estimated that tonight, people should arrive."
On the other side of the capital, half of the Qingyu Pavilion personnel who had not evacuated were secretly helping each other, and since this news came from the members of the Qingyu Pavilion, it would definitely not be false.
"Hmm." Qi Lichen replied lightly, and there was no emotion.
It's just to be expected.
Bai Zekan retreated.
Sure enough, when night fell, dark shadows kept flashing around the courtyard, as if they were applying for something, and they didn't do anything, just wandering around looking for opportunities.
In the yard, the lights are bright.
Qi Lichen has no intention of hiding it except for his identity, the purpose of his trip is just to install a suitable person to the prime minister's side and become his personal guard and even confidant, which is conducive to his search for treasure later.
It is natural for the prime minister to send someone to tempt him, after all, no one will believe in a person who suddenly appears at will.
Besides, the prime minister is suspicious, and if he is not sure with certainty, he will never act lightly.
On a March day, the night breeze was slightly cool, and the chill had not completely subsided, Qi Lichen was wearing a fur jacket, with a vicious gluttonous mask on his face, and Bai Ze and Bai Bing on his side were guarding the left and right.
After a while, the dark shadow on the treetops outside finally moved, and then the door to the courtyard opened.
Seven or eight men in black came in.
Seeing a few people waiting in the courtyard, the black-clothed man led by him was stunned, and the pair of black eyes that only appeared on the black scarf suddenly became a little vigilant: "Your Excellency is the master of Qingyu Pavilion?" ”
"Since the prime minister sent you, why do you have to ask so many times?"
The voice that could be changed was low and hoarse, with a bit of a rich breath, which was completely different from Qi Lichen's original voice.
The man in black looked indifferent, vigilant around the person who was the leader.
Bai Bing took a step forward, and the sword in his hand flew out of the scabbard, "I advise you not to do anything here, and obediently hand over Huang Xu, otherwise, the prime minister will not want to find the treasure in his life." ”
When the man in black heard this, he suddenly looked at Qi Lichen and was quite surprised: "Your Excellency actually knows about the treasure?" ”
Huang Xu never mentioned this matter.
Under the mask, Qi Lichen's eyebrows and eyes raised slightly. Cow Bar Literature Network
Naturally, he didn't let Huang Xu tell all the news directly, so he couldn't help but want to cover it up, he played a person who wanted to flee for his life under Qingyu Pavilion.
If all the secrets were told at once, the prime minister would be suspicious.
It's better to leave some doubts and let the prime minister solve them himself.
"Huang Xu still has some brains, I advise you to go back and tell the prime minister and hand over Huang Xu as soon as possible." Bai Bing repeated it again.
The man in black was silent, a little hesitant.
He came this time to test Qingyu Pavilion on the order of the prime minister, but he didn't expect people to know about his actions one step in advance.
If you think about it, it's understandable.
Qingyu Pavilion, whose eyeliner is all over the world, will not know the movements of a little defector?
But it was precisely because of this that the people in black felt frightened.
"Your Excellency is really the Pavilion Master of Qingyu Pavilion." The peak turned around, and the man in black led the topic back to the beginning.
He looked coldly at the masked man seated.
However, in an instant, a strong wind hit his face and hit him hard.
Seven or eight men in black flew out and fell on the wall that was close by.
In the courtyard, there was a groan of pain.
Qi Lichen withdrew his hand, his slender fingers picked up the teacup, and slowly rubbed the patterns on it, as if the person who had just made the move was not him.
Several black-clothed people helped each other up from the ground, their eyes shocked, and they looked at Qi Lichen's eyes as if they were looking at another monster.
They are also the best of the masters, otherwise the prime minister would not have sent a few of them here, but when the masked man made a move, not only did they not notice half of it, but they didn't even have the strength to resist.
This slap shook their hearts, although it was not a serious injury, but it was already a chest tightness, and according to the speed of his shot, it could be inferred that he and I did not use all our strength.
A few people didn't dare to imagine that if this brain used all their strength, their fate would be a dead end.
Supporting his body, the man in black covered his heart and said sullenly: "This time I was reckless, and I said goodbye." ”
With that, a few people were leaving.
However, two black figures were one step ahead of them in the doorway.
Bai Bing and Bai Ze held the sword in their hands, and the cold light on the cold blade shimmered, and it was even more dazzling in the cold moonlight, as if a cold feeling shone into their hearts.
The black-clothed leader looked startled, and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”
The only thing that answered him was the cold glow of the long sword slashing through the air.
The black-clothed men in the courtyard fell one by one, blood splattered all around.
The black-clothed man at the head was covered in injuries, staring at the two people in front of him viciously, and he never thought that these people would kill him if they didn't agree with him.
The blade of the sword smeared into the ground, and he held his body to prevent himself from falling, but he had no choice but to spit out a mouthful of old blood. After a long time, he slowly said to the two who were speechless: "If you want to kill or chop, listen to it." ”
He would never reveal half of the prime minister's secrets.
However, the person in front of him did not end his life by swinging the sword in his hand as he imagined, but instead sheathed the sword with blood.
"Trespassing into the Qingyu Pavilion Mansion and disturbing the cleanliness of the Pavilion Lord should have been killed." Bai Bing's face was expressionless, "But spare your life today, you go back and tell the prime minister, let him wash his neck, and obediently wait for our pavilion master's arrival." ”
The words fell, and the two raised their feet and returned to Qi Lichen's side.
Bai Ze couldn't help but glance at Bai Bing's body, and always felt that what Bai Bing said was more and more like a thief on the mountain.
The man in black didn't expect this to be the case, he had already been waiting for death, but now these people let him go back to report to the prime minister.
calmed down, and his calm gaze swept over the corpses on the ground one by one, his eyes sharp.
One day, he will avenge the death of his brother.
The moonlight was cold, and the man in black staggered away.
