Hua Wenxuan and Gan Ning got two horses from the pursuers who were chasing Xu Shu, and rode all the way towards Xu Du.

Gan Ning was sneering all the way, "You said He Gongzi earlier, ah, that's not right!" Miss He is a woman! I thought you were as good as Longyang, and no matter what you do, you will be far away from you! ”

Hua Wenxuan couldn't smile bitterly, he remembered the embarrassed expressions on everyone's faces in the backyard of Xudu Huafu before the expedition, and couldn't help but be angry and happy, but when he thought that Zhang Fei who was present at that time had become a god, Guan Yu was in danger, and his heart was sour.

The two of them marched all the way in the direction of Xudu, but they did not take the official road, it took more than ten days to return to Xudu City, eating and drinking along the way all relied on Gan Ning to play the road and rob money, Hua Wenxuan originally felt uneasy, and after many times, he also let it go, after all, compared with being hungry, his face at this time is not worth mentioning, not to mention that Gan Ning only takes enough money and does not harm people's lives, which has also become the only fig leaf for the pretentious and upright Hua Wenxuan to cover his ears and steal the bell.

Before entering Xudu City, Hua Wenxuan happened to meet Xun Yu who went outside the city to prepare to sacrifice the water god "Cao E", Hua Wenxuan and Gan Ning just stood on the side of the avenue, and slightly disguised their outfits, but were still recognized by Xun Yu sitting in the carriage at a glance, Xun Yu was silent, and ordered the servants to quietly invite Hua Wenxuan and Gan Ning to mix in the queue of servants, and quietly entered Xu Capital City and came to Xun Yu's mansion.

Hua Wenxuan did not dare to show up in Xu Ducheng rashly because of Xu Shu's analysis, and he was happy to go with the flow and let Xun Yu be at the mercy of him, after all, in Xu Shu's analysis, Xun Yu was the one who had the most reason to harm himself.

Hua Wenxuan and Gan Ning didn't wait long in the firewood room on Xun Yu's mansion, Xun Yu changed out of his sacrificial clothes and came to the firewood room in his regular clothes.

Xun Yu looked at Gan Ning, who was covered in injuries, then looked at the tired Hua Wenxuan, and said silently: "Now it is rumored in Xu Ducheng that you are waiting for the light soldiers who are eager for quick success and quick profit, and you are surrounded and annihilated by the four cowards, Zang Ba has already come up, please dissuade him from being unable to protect the crime of being late, why are you two here?" ”

"Lingjun Mingjian!" Hua Wenxuan arched his hand and told the story of the Red Leaf Valley, and Xun Yu was already frowning when he heard it.

After Hua Wenxuan finished speaking, his body was already trembling uncontrollably, if Zang Ba was here at this time, he would definitely not be able to control his excitement, and rushed up to break him into pieces.

Xun Yu stroked his beard lightly and slowly stomped around the cramped firewood room.

"If what Gongzi Wenxuan said is true, who does Gongzi think will be instigated?" Xun Yu asked, "With just one Zang Ba, there is absolutely no need for him to make such a deplorable, and he is a big official, so he does not have any conflict of interest with you!" ”

Hua Wenxuan pursed his lips, and the words analyzed by Xu Shu still lingered in his ears, but now Xun Yu is not a completely credible person, and Hua Wenxuan still remembers the pain of losing words. He shook his head gently, "Wen Xuan doesn't know who did it, if Zang Ba surrenders Yuan Shao, it will be easy to understand at this time!" ”

"But Zang Ba's recital sheet arrived a few days earlier than you, if you want to descend to Hebei, why do you need to play again to show your innocence?" Xun Yu also shook his head slightly, he quietly looked at Hua Wenxuan's expression, revealing an intriguing expression. "Now the entire Xu Capital thinks that Gongzi Wenxuan is dead, I don't know what to do next, what are you going to do?"

Hua Wenxuan looked around silently, although there was a musty smell in this small firewood room, it was better than sleeping in the open air, "If Lingjun doesn't dislike it, Wenxuan will be disturbed in the house for a few days, and when Wenxuan understands it, he will give Xun Lingjun an explanation." ”

Xun Yu was stunned for a moment, but he couldn't figure out what this Hua Wenxuan was thinking in front of him, thought for a while, and said: "It's okay, but if you don't know it, I'm afraid that you will be wronged by Wenxuan Gongzi curled up in this firewood room for a few days, Wen Ruo will retreat from the next person, no one will wait to enter this side courtyard, if Wenxuan Gongzi wants to go out, there is a back door here, and it is the back alley of my house to go out, and no one will be here during ordinary times!" ”

Hua Wenxuan and Gan Ning arched their hands, "Xie Lingjun is compassionate!" ”

After Xun Yu left, Gan Ning asked while picking up haystacks in the firewood room and digging out a sleeping pit, "Brother Wenxuan, what are your plans?" When I returned to Xudu, I didn't see Zihuan Gongzi, but I came to this Xun Lingjun Mansion, are you still suspicious of Zihuan Gongzi? ”

Hua Wenxuan silently picked up the ointment on his hand and slowly applied it to Gan Ning's shoulder, which was still not healed, "After Red Leaf Valley, I won't trust anyone anymore!" After all, his hands were not as gentle as Xiao Qiao or He Yan, and Gan Ning couldn't help but snort a few times in pain.

Hua Wenxuan said with a smile: "It's not as good as Miss Xiao Qiao's technique, your knife wound was much heavier than this when you were in Shouchun, and I didn't hear you howl!" ”

"Miss Qiao is soft-hearted, and she is indeed stronger than the fierce Miss He!" Gan Ning teased, "When did you see that Miss He is a woman?" ”

Hua Wenxuan smiled slightly, "Then I have to thank you!" Uncle Xingba! Hua Wenxuan pressed Gan Ning's injury hard, and the pain made Gan Ning hurriedly struggle to the side, "If you hadn't knocked He Yan into the water, where would it be my turn to get meat!" ”

Gan Ning smiled bitterly and rubbed her shoulders, "I don't know what happened to Miss Qiao?" ”

Hua Wenxuan was stunned for a moment, hey, it seems that this Gan Ning is interesting to Xiao Qiao? Hua Wenxuan glanced at Gan Ning, with a look of anticipation, and walked over and said, "You and I will secretly go back to the house tonight to have a look, but you have to promise me that we will just secretly take a look at the situation and not show up!" ”

Gan Ning showed his big white teeth and nodded heavily.

At night, Hua Wenxuan and Gan Ning put on their robes and gently walked out of Xun Yu's side courtyard.

Xudu's night market is still bustling, and passers-by are disturbing one after another, not caring about the two men in the crowd.

Hua Wenxuan and Gan Ning secretly came to the back alley of Washington, Gan Ning found a place where the hay was stacked, climbed up lightly, glanced at it, and quickly retracted it, put his hand tightly on his lips, and motioned to Hua Wenxuan not to make a sound.

Hua Wenxuan slowly climbed up the hay pile, looked up, and saw that the entire backyard of Washington was wrapped in white gauze, and even the vermilion roof of the pavilion was covered with white satin, a solemn scene, next to the pond, Xiao Qiao was standing in a white suit, the bright moonlight covered her with a layer of faintly glowing robe, and the dark reflection in the pond was as solemn and dignified as a white jade stone carving.

Hua Wenxuan and Gan Ning couldn't help but be stunned, Xiao Qiao lowered his eyes, a few teardrops were still hanging upside down on his long eyelashes, and the tear stains on his pale cheeks were shining silver under the lighting of the moonlight.

Gan Ning touched Hua Wenxuan lightly and muttered in a low voice: "Who is she guarding filial piety for?" ”

Hua Wenxuan didn't know how to answer, so he could only shake his head awkwardly, Xiao Qiao in the distance seemed to hear some movement, looked up and looked over here, and the two hurriedly shrank their heads to dodge.

Xiao Qiao slowly walked towards the back wall, Hua Wenxuan and Gan Ning heard Xiao Qiao's footsteps, and hurriedly prepared to jump off the haystack, but a man's voice came from the courtyard, "Miss Qiao, don't be too sad, don't hurt your body!" ”

Hua Wenxuan and Gan Ning hurriedly looked at it again, but it was Cao Pi who walked over from the front yard of Washington.

Xiao Qiao turned around and saw Cao Pi coming alone, he was also stunned, and silently gave a salute.

Hua Wenxuan saw that Cao Pi was not waiting for others, and he also chuckled in his heart, and quietly buried his head under the eaves of the wall, ready to listen to what Cao Pi said.

Cao Pi came to the backyard, walked up to Xiao Qiao, and shook his sleeves, "Although the life and death of Gongzi Wenxuan are uncertain, I can still feel that he is still alive!" He looked at Xiao Qiao, "Wen Xuan is not very human, since the first time I saw him, I can already feel that he contains infinite power, whether he was involved in my father's violent death and fell into prison, or fell into the hands of Jia Xu and Li Tong during the Southern Expedition, he can turn evil into good fortune and turn danger into safety!" Cao Pi raised his head, looked at the full moon in the sky, and sighed softly, "I hope this time, he can still do this!" ”

Hua Wenxuan couldn't help but scolded secretly: To put it simply, the fire in Red Leaf Valley almost didn't burn Lao Tzu into a roast suckling pig.

Xiao Qiao dipped his cheek with his sleeve and nodded gently.

Cao Pi took out a silk scarf and handed it to Xiao Qiao, but Xiao Qiao didn't accept it, gave a salute, and then moved to the front yard.

Hua Wenxuan and Gan Ning couldn't help but smile on their faces, watching others eat deflated, it felt really good.

The two were complacent, but Cao Pi suddenly looked at the direction where the two were hiding, but they were motionless, Hua Wenxuan was surprised, but there was a noisy noise in the distance behind him, the two looked back, but saw the far end of the west, there was a firelight slowly appeared, and there was an intensifying situation, the two hurriedly got off the haystack and ran to the street, only to see pedestrians shuttling back and forth, scattering and running, and someone shouted, "Go to the water!" "Come and put out the fire!"

Hua Wenxuan was in a daze, Gan Ning grabbed Hua Wenxuan's hand violently, and said coldly: "That direction, it's Xun Lingjun's mansion!" ”
