Chapter II. 8

At this time, the fourteenth was lurking on the top beam of the main hall of the Rejuvenation Medical Hall, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the Li Le'an who was testing the medicinal materials below.

And Shen Gui, who was holding it and trying it out, also came to the back street of the Rejuvenation Medical Center at this time. The two of them looked at the familiar chalk in the corner of the courtyard wall, and secretly screamed in their hearts.

Powder is a common code for people in the rivers and lakes. From the snitch in the small lock door to the guy who delivers water and collects dung, they are all used to leaving special marks on the wall to record and share information. And the one in front of Shen Gui and Fu Yi is a unique pattern of the winter solstice. At present, except for the fourteen and one people, the winter solstice is dormant on Botu Mountain in the north of Shuangshan Village, and they will not appear here at all.

Shen Gui looked at Fu Yi in embarrassment and said:

"I have to get in quickly, or I'm afraid something big will happen. You have an ordinary body, if there is a dark whistle in the house, it is easy to startle the snake. In this case, you go back to the inn first and wait for you to return, and I will bring Fourteen back in a moment. Fu Yi nodded in agreement, turned around and left.

Shen Gui tightened his clothes slightly, stretched out his hand and raised his legs to see that there was no obstacle, so he took a few steps back, his body rushed forward quickly, his body was like an ape, and he easily climbed over the courtyard wall in front of him, and he didn't make a sound when he landed.

The backyard of this house has not yet begun to be renovated, and it has been vacant for several years, and it has long been overgrown with weeds. Shen Gui quietly inspected all the corners that were easy to hide, and did not see the secret sentry of the Prime Minister's Mansion appearing. He jumped up to the roof, stretched out his hands, grasped the stone-carved horned beast on the eaves, and swung downward, and fell through the open air window of the roof into the main hall beam.

Shen Gui's figure had just stabilized, and the dagger of the fourteenth was already facing the door. Shen Gui didn't make a sound, but slowed down his speech, and silently said to Fourteen with his lips:

"Come with me!"

Fourteen pointed at Li Le'an, who was identifying medicinal materials below, with a dagger, and made a motion to wipe his neck, and then tilted his head again.

Shen Gui didn't say much, just held her hand tightly and returned the same way, and the two returned to the inn.

"Fu Yi, you ask him, why is he okay to find Li Le'an's bad luck?"

Fu Yi gestured with Fourteen for a while, and looked back at Shen Gui ambiguously:

"Fourteen says you're always thinking too much. In the past, when they acted on the winter solstice, they were directly killed if they encountered anyone who was in the way. ”

"Let's not talk about his simple and crude way of doing things. I just want to know, what's in the way of the girl? The doctors are all killed, or is he a human? ”

"Well, Fourteen said, now that time is tight and we can't hold each other, it's better to startle the snake."

"Hey, hey, Xiaoyi, he can't even read all the words, can this be what he said? Don't talk nonsense through other people's mouths. ”

"That's what it means, anyway."

"Then you can't wipe the neck of other girls in broad daylight?"

"Fourteen said, they all work at night."

"Gotta get it, don't be mad at me here. I'll tell you Fu Yi, don't let me watch him closely. ”

While the three brothers were arguing, there was a knock on the door outside the room.

Fu Yi got up to open the door, but was stunned on the spot.

"Shen Gongzi, let's meet again."

Shen Gui could see at a glance that the uninvited guest who made Fu Yi stunned on the spot was the masked eunuch who cut himself into a spider web in the turmoil in the Sixty Mile Pavilion - Shan Qingquan.

"Oh, isn't this a single father-in-law? Come to me today, what advice do you have? Shen Gui pressed the fourteenth who was about to burst out, and sat down at the table.

In the capital city at the foot of this Son of Heaven, no matter how bold and clever you are, it is impossible to do it in the city. It's not that the unspoken rule that there are no sharp weapons in the city will have much restraint on such masters; Instead, it is said that within the Imperial City of Fengjing, there is also a master of the Heavenly Spirit Vein.

"There's nothing special, it's that I want to invite Young Master Sun to come over to the house."

"In the entire Fengjing City, there are people who have had a holiday with me, I'm afraid that you are the only one, right? Is your host sick? Who will let you come? What the hell is he trying to invite me to? Or don't you want to invite me? ”

Shen Gui smiled and looked at Shan Qingquan, whose face was still a little pale.

"Our host is not sick, and I am not the only one who has had a holiday with you in Fengjing. The words have been brought, whether to follow me or not, you can decide for yourself. ”

Seeing him say this, Shen Gui snorted and stood up, patted his thigh and said:

"Let's go, I want to see what kind of murder method your Longtan Tiger's Den is."

But Shan Qingquan said in a always weird voice:

"I'm only inviting you, if you go, go alone, and there's a carriage waiting downstairs."

About a quarter of an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of a seemingly ordinary house, and Shen Gui lifted the curtain, only to see a wooden plaque hanging on the gatehouse, with four big characters written on it: 'Dongyou Li Mansion'.

Shen Gui glanced at Shan Qingquan beside the car with his eyes:

"I didn't expect you to be able to admit it so happily? If so, why did you have to cover your face in black in the first place? Master, why don't you speak? Did you let my master's injuries heal neatly? ”

Shen Gui followed behind Shan Qingquan, babbling and provoking all the time, but Shan Qingquan never made a sound. It wasn't until the two of them came to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion that they spoke:

"The owner, someone has been invited."

An old voice came from inside the room:

"It's hard work, you can go back."

Shan Qingquan pushed the door open a little crack, and said to Shen Gui:

"Go in and be careful what you say." As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Shen Gui looked at his back as he turned away, and muttered: "As a eunuch, you can't even enter the palace, and you're still pretending to be a bodyguard with me here." ”

"That kid in Qingquan injured the sect's tendons by practicing the exercises, not voluntarily purifying himself."

Shen Gui followed the voice and walked into the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion, only to see a gray-haired old man of medium stature, looking at the letter carefully at the table:

"The old man still has some things on hand, you can be casual."

Shen Guiyi sat in the circle chair, his body was as weak as mud, and his cocked legs were still shaking, looking like a cool official rampaging in the township.

As if he had not seen it, Li Deng took up the pen and wrote the letter, and then put it on the table casually, without a trace of evasion:

"Shan Qingquan is my person, but it is not the old man's intention to intercept and kill Fu Ye's family in the Sixty Mile Pavilion."

Shen Gui tilted his head and thought about it, then nodded:

"Well, if you say so, I believe it."

"Good, not bad. I heard about your recent property on Chahe Middle Street, and all I can tell you is that that house has nothing to do with Bag anymore. ”

Shen Gui nodded but still didn't speak, and Li Le'an's figure appeared in his mind.

"Guo Gongyunsong, who once had an old relationship with his father Sanyuangong, is naturally the uncle of the old man, so it is reasonable, I, who is the uncle of the world, should also take care of you......"

Shen Gui saw that Li Deng began to make friends, and immediately interrupted:

"How can you care for me? I don't even know what to do......"

A fine light flashed in Li Deng's eyes, and he directly stopped Shen Gui's rebuttal:

"But you're already doing it. Tuo Qingquan brought you here today, just to show his attitude, the old man will never participate in the internal disputes of the shamanism. Of course, you can also think that this attitude is also the attitude of the Dongyou Li family. ”

Shen Gui sat up straight and tapped his fingers on the tabletop, making a rhythmic sound:

"I can't figure it out, but you are a high-powered prime minister and the emperor of Dongyou Road, why do you need to explain to a homeless person like me?"

Li Deng stroked his gray beard and said with a smile:

Since this is said to you, it is equivalent to saying to the great shaman Lin Siwei, and there is no difference in the old man's opinion. And whether it is Ba Ge or Lin Siwei in the future of shamanism, even if you Shen returns to lead, it will make no difference to my Li family. We are in the Li family, only doing business, and we have no interest in other things. ”

"What if there is an additional trade route to Nankang? Will your Li family change their position? ”

Li Deng waved his hand:

"Let's not talk about this today, the old man didn't call you here to do business."

Shen Gui looked at Li Deng with some confusion, waiting for his next step.
