Qiu Yizhi was moved when he heard this, and he also said: "This time there is a thrilling danger, I was beaten a few times, and now there are still a few pains, but it does not hinder the movement, it should only be a skin injury." It's a pity that my Western Regions Treasure Knife was taken away, and now I don't know where it was taken. ”

Zhao Chengxiao was taken aback, and thought: Since he followed Qiu Yizhi, thousands of troops have walked through thousands of horses, crossed over the Xiongguan moat, and broken through the heavenly prison, when has he ever suffered such a big loss, so he hurriedly asked: "What kind of person is so bold that he dares to come against the adult?" Tell me my name, and see how I catch him, and make him angry! ”

Qiu Yizhi saw that Zhao Chengxiao had brought his cronies to greet him, and there was no place to speak halfway, so he asked the officers and soldiers who escorted him back to Liu Qing to restore his life and no longer have to guard him, so he turned to Zhao Chengxiao and said, "Let's go, let's talk while walking." ”

Zhao Chengxiao agreed, and then ordered the guards around the countryside to be sure, and then walked towards Lin Shuhan's manor.

Seeing that Zhao Chengxiao was so carefully guarded, Qiu Yizhi felt more relieved, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said: "I heard that after the emperor ascended to the pole, those sycophants in the court touted all day long that they were the great Han Zhongxing and Haiyan Heqing, but I didn't expect that in the important town of Jinling, there would be a matter of hijacking the imperial court officials on the street......"

Zhao Chengxiao asked: "The adults haven't told me yet, where did the bandits come from, and they are so bold?" ”

Qiu Yizhi shook his head and said, "You also know this person, and I have fought with you!" Do you remember the copper-eyed Arhat in Anhe Town? ”

Zhao Chengxiao was stunned, and involuntarily slowed down, and the Xiangyong who was guarding around him also slowed down. When Zhao Chengxiao saw it, he hurriedly sped up again, and said: "Remember, of course remember, although this person's martial arts are high, wasn't he beaten away by Yu Chi Lianghong at that time, I remember that he was not lightly injured, how could he appear in this Jinling City again?" ”

Qiu Yizhi shook his head: "I don't understand this, it seems that I have to discuss it with Mr. Lin before I can guess the truth." ”

While the two were talking, they had come to the gate of Lin Shuhan's manor, and Qiu Yizhi saw that there was also a team of more than a dozen villagers guarding the door, and dark whistles had been set up behind the big trees, walls, and rockeries, and they couldn't help but admire: "Brother Zhao is still thoughtful." However, the opponent is not a thousand troops, so scattered and arranged, it is easy to be found by the opponent. ”

Zhao Chengxiao nodded: "I know, my lord is in the manor, and I will make other adjustments to the defense." ”

Qiu Yizhi was still in shock, did not say more, and walked into the garden.

There was also a tense atmosphere in the manor, and the pro-soldiers stationed in it, whether they were injured or not, had all gotten up and acted, holding swords and pine lights, and the whole manor was as if it were day.

Lin Shuhan, Wen Lingjiao, and He'er were also neatly dressed and waiting inside the door.

Qiu Yizhi saw the suspicious expressions on their faces, so he smiled and preemptively said: "This Liu Qing is really a bastard, I was just scared by a few thieves in the rivers and lakes, I don't know how the soldiers he brought out came to give orders, disturbing everyone's sleep, I will definitely go over and scold him when I have time tomorrow." ”

He saw the look of concern in Wen Lingjiao's eyes again, and said in a tone that seemed to be for Wen Lingjiao alone, and seemed to be for everyone: "Okay, it's okay, let's go back and rest, and I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”

Lin Shuhan on the side said with a smile: "My lord doesn't look at what time it is, now the time has passed, and tomorrow is today." ”

When Qiu Yizhi heard this, he smiled to himself: "Mr. Lin's words are full of Zen principles, which make people have endless aftertastes. However, now I am extremely sleepy, and my brain is mixed into a pile of paste, which is really impossible to consult. Waiting for tomorrow...... Oh...... After dawn, I will look for Mr. Lin to taste tea and consult the Zen machine. ”

Lin Shuhan is a smart person, and he knows the meaning of the four words "Zen machine", so he yawned very cooperatively: "Adults disturb my dreams in the middle of the night, so you can invite me to go to the garden building to have a good meal and make amends for my sins another day!" As he spoke, he smiled slyly at the corners of his mouth, and walked back to his bedroom.

Qiu Yizhi felt palpitations when he heard the words "Outside the Garden", and tried to calm down, before he said to Zhao Chengxiao: "This garden is full of its own people, and the troops are sufficient, and outsiders coming in are just throwing themselves into the net." You only need to leave the necessary troops to defend it, and the rest of the army can go back and rest. Three or two little thieves, don't make a fuss. ”

After that, Qiu Yizhi turned around and arched his hand towards Wen Lingjiao, and said, "It's really a sin to disturb Miss twice today." Here, my brother Zhao is in charge of defense, and it is very safe, so please go back and rest with peace of mind. ”

Wen Lingjiao squatted at Qiu Yizhi, frowned and smiled, and then retreated.

Qiu Yizhi saw that everything was in order, and said a few more words to Zhao Chengxiao, and then returned to his bedroom to rest.

Qiu Yizhi put on a very calm appearance in front of everyone, but he was really frightened in his heart. When he returned to the bedroom and took off his clothes, he saw that there were palm-sized bruises in several places where he was injured by the copper-eyed Arhat, and it hurt to touch it, and he was glad that the copper-eyed Arhat had scruples after all, if he attacked him ruthlessly, he was afraid that he would be on Huangquan Road now.

Therefore, Qiu Yizhi was lying on the bed, but his heart couldn't be calm for a long time, listening to the intermittent sound of beating bangzi outside the window, and vaguely distinguishing that it appeared when Xu Shiyin was in time, and he gradually fell asleep between thoughts.

But he slept for less than two hours, and a timid voice came from outside the door: "My lord, my lord, someone is looking for you, someone is looking for you." ”

Qiu Yizhi was woken up in a drowsy mood, and the boss in his heart was unhappy, and when he heard Wang Laowu's voice, he complained: "Old Wu, when did I sleep yesterday, don't you know, what kind of thing happened, you want to quarrel with me?" ”

Wang Lao Wu outside the door said: "It's the one named Liu Qing who came to find the adult." I didn't know that I came back in the middle of the night last night and was injured again. But as soon as this Liu Qing came, he said that he had something important to ask the adult for instructions. According to me, no matter how big this big thing is, you can't disturb the adults to rest and sleep, but Zhao Tou said that the matter is urgent and cannot be delayed......"

Wang Lao Wu's mouth was broken, and he was babbling, Qiu Yizhi had already gotten up from the bed, pushed the door out, and this Wang Lao Wu was still chattering endlessly: "But among a few pro-soldiers, no one wants to come over and give orders to disturb the rest of adults...... It took everyone a long time to come up with a way to draw lots. It stands to reason that I am not an adult's personal soldier, let alone a bandit from the mountain, what does their casting of lots have to do with me? But this group of people was unreasonable, and they asked me to catch it together, and I caught it if I didn't think about it, so I came to do this unlucky errand, and adults can't blame me. ”

Qiu Yizhi listened to Wang Lao Wu's words, and had already guessed that it must be the "Iron Head Jiao" who cheated to bully Wang Lao Wu when he drew lots, and he was amused for a while, but he didn't want to break it, so he said: "This is official business, you have nothing to apologize for." But where is this Liu Qingren? ”

As soon as the words fell, Liu Qing turned out from behind an ancient tree and saluted to Qiu Yizhi: "My lord, I'm here." A serious and nervous look on his face.

Qiu Yizhi nodded and asked, "What?" came to me in such a hurry, did you find the traces of the copper-eyed Arhat and Shi Wei? ”

Liu Qing looked around and said, "I'm afraid that this place is not secluded, why don't you go to the adult's room and let us talk about it in detail?" ”

Qiu Yizhi waved his hand nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of?" In this garden, either my own soldiers or newly recruited villagers, even Lin Shuhan's housekeeper and gardener have been sent home two days earlier, are you still afraid of not being confidential? If we have something to say, we'll talk about it while we're walking. ”

As he spoke, he instructed Wang Lao Wu again: "Lao Wu, go and see if Mr. Lin is awake." If he wakes up, I will invite him to the pavilion under half of the pine trees, and I will talk to him about something. ”

Wang Lao Wuyi gave up his hand, and he was about to run to give the order.

Qiu Yizhi stopped him again: "What are you anxious about?" If you call the guy again, make a few bowls of noodles and send them to me, my stomach is still empty! ”

Wang Lao Wu arched his hand again, making sure that Qiu Yizhi had no other instructions, so he retreated with peace of mind.

Qiu Yizhi's eyes sent Wang Lao Wu to no longer know where to run in a blink of an eye, turned his head to Liu Qing and said, "Now it's just the two of us, you can say something, right?" ”

Liu Qing looked around, and then said in a low voice: "I have gone down overnight according to the instructions of His Highness Yi, but the army has searched and arrested all night, and Shi Wei and a few thieves have not been found. The last general is very anxious! ”

"What!" Qiu Yizhi exclaimed, "You searched for it last night?" ”

Liu Qing replied: "Yes! I thought about taking advantage of the opportunity of those thieves yesterday to go far before I could strike first, trying to catch them immediately. Besides, if you act in the middle of the night, the noise is smaller, so you can hide people's eyes......"

"Stupid! Fool! Confused! What do you know? Qiu Yizhi rudely interrupted Liu Qing's words, "When the accident happened, there were not a hundred but seventy or eighty guests eating and drinking in the building outside the garden, and most of the people who could eat and drink inside were either rich or expensive, where did you hide it?" Afterwards, the search and arrest was carried out in such a way, which attracted even more attention. I don't think you don't have a political enemy in Jinling City, and now I'm afraid a few bullet stamps have been sent to the capital! ”

Qiu Yizhi looked at the stunned Liu Qing, as if teaching a student who did not grow up, and continued: "These people are all well-known figures in the martial arts, and they have been dealing with the government for so many years, how can they not know how to escape concealment?" Why do I want you to tighten the fence first and then calmly investigate and deal with it, what I want is to let these people in the rivers and lakes have a contemptuous heart, and once they show up, they will hold on to it, so that is the best policy. You are good now, under such a startling snake, these people have become frightened birds, how can they be easily exposed? ”

When Liu Qing heard this, he was sweating all over, his feet stopped involuntarily, and asked Qiu Yidao: "Is there no way to do it now?" His Highness the Righteousness. ”

Qiu Yizhi sighed and said, "If you want to blame, blame you for being too anxious and doing something bad." Now I can't help it. ”

Liu Qing's eyes were blackened by Qiu Yizhi's words, and even his tongue kept arousing it, like a copper-eyed arhat with a wounded brain: "This...... This...... How good is that? ”

"Alas!" Qiu Yizhi sighed and said, "It seems that I have to come forward and excuse you in front of Prime Minister Zhongli, as for whether it works or not, I don't know." In short, you will definitely not be able to do it, and your life may still be saved......"

Liu Qing had mixed feelings when he heard it - such a fat difference as the Jiangnan military chief is not something that anyone can get, but he has to be dismissed and dismissed before he has been in office for three months, and he is really a little reluctant; However, it is slightly easier to abandon the official position than the life of the family...... In any case, the strip of gold in front of him has undoubtedly come to an end, and only a path that is getting darker and darker is left.
