"You ......" Su Qiao looked up in surprise.

"I'm a disciple of Qingxuanmen, and I have something to do with Shui Luo Pavilion, so it's not difficult to help you find out about that matter."

Without waiting for Su Qiao to speak again, Shui Lingzhen waved her hand: "I'm tired, I'll talk to you about the rest when I come back." ”

"Young master, rest early, slave...... The subordinates retired. ”

The next day, Shui Lingzhen's carriage came from the main street to the front of Wenhou's Mansion.

Xi Quan stepped forward and knocked on the door three times, and a middle-aged man with a kind face opened one side door.

"The villain is the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, surnamed Feng. What is the matter with Childe? ”

Xi Quan bowed his hand and returned the salute: "The young master of my family is an old friend of the Hou Ye, and this time I came to Shangjing to meet him." ”

"Dare to ask the young lord's surname? The villain should go back and report it. ”

Steward Feng's eyes casually looked at the carriage under the steps.

Xi Quan took out a note from his sleeve and handed it to him: "My young man is waiting in the car because he is weak, please forgive me." The tired housekeeper presented this thing to Hou Ye, and Hou Ye naturally knew who the young master of my family was after reading it. ”

"In that case, the villain will go back as soon as he goes."

The door closed again, and Xi Quan returned to the carriage and whispered, "Young Master, Marquis Wen is really majestic. Ordinary people pass by here and leave solemnly and silently, so angry. ”

"Hmm"

In the study of the Hou Mansion.

"Master Hou, the prince"

Wen Chong put down the sheet he had just written, and looked up at the door: "What's the matter with the housekeeper?" ”

Steward Feng handed the note to Wen Chong and replied word by word: "Some people outside say that it is an old friend of Master Hou, and he is here to see him." The villain presented this note to Master Hou. ”

"Who is it?"

"The man was sitting in the carriage, and the villain didn't know if it was a man or a woman, and the attendant outside the car only said that the Hou Ye read the note, so he naturally knew who the person in the car was."

"Father." Wen Chong nodded and respectfully handed the note to Wen Xie behind the book.

Wen Xie raised his head, stretched out his hand to take the note, opened it and looked at it, and his sword eyebrows suddenly froze.

"Butler, welcome guests!"

"Yes, Master Hou." Steward Feng trotted out all the way.

Wen Xie stood up and walked briskly out from behind the bookcase. straightened the dark narrow-sleeved python robe he was wearing, and looked at the door with a serious expression.

"Father, why is this?"

Wen Xie looked at the note in his hand with a solemn face, and said in a deep voice: "This person is indeed an old acquaintance of his father. Chong'er, you step back first, and I'll tell you the reason later. ”

"Yes," Wen Chongzong was curious, and just bowed down and retreated.

Then Wen Xie called the note, and read it again word by word:

I miss it for ten years,

I was lucky enough to be alive and came to see me.

Changing the old surname to become a minister,

The original intention does not change the wishes of the old people.

……………… Is it really you?

"Girl, please, Master Hou is in the study."

"There's a labor housekeeper." Shui Lingzhen bowed his head.

When passing through the corridor in front of the study, Shui Lingzhen, who walked in, and Wen Chong, who walked out, met head-on.

The two saluted each other, and the moment they passed by, Wen Chong turned his head to look at the thin back, and his heart became more and more curious.

"Shui Lingzhen greets Master Hou." Shui Lingzhen saluted in a proper manner.

Wen Xie motioned for Xi Quan to help, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes, but his face was silent, "Get up and say." ”

"Master Xie."

"Butler, you step back first, I have something to say to the old man."

"Yes"

After receiving Shui Lingzhen's instructions, Xiquan also retreated, and closed the door of the study when he left.

"Farewell to Qingxuanmen, is your master okay?" Wen Xie motioned for Shui Lingzhen to sit down, and pointed to the roof.

Shui Lingzhen nodded knowingly: "Master, everything is fine." Ling Zhen came to Beijing this time, thinking that she hadn't seen Master Hou for a long time, so she took the liberty to visit. ”

The two of them talked about it for a long time, until they heard the soft sound of roof tiles, and then stopped.

"There is a lot of negligence, and the ministers visit the city lord."

"Uncle Shi, please get up, the partition wall has ears, no wonder you. Although I inherited the moire, I am still a junior after all, and you really can't afford it. Shui Lingzhen reached out to help.

"Qingyun, why are you emaciated like this after not seeing you for so many years?"

Dressed in white, she looked Shui Lingzhen's already slender body, and she became more and more shaky.

Shui Lingzhen shook her head, and was about to withdraw her hand when she was pulled back by the dark light in Wen Xie's hand.

"It hurts so badly! If I hadn't probed with the Sunset Spirit, I wouldn't have found you...... What about your martial arts internal strength? ”

"Wasted," Shui Lingzhen chuckled.

"Can the Nightshade work?"

Shui Lingzhen shook her head again.

Wen Xie didn't know what to do for a while, he walked back and forth a few steps, and suddenly looked at Shui Lingzhen: "Qingyun......"

"After that year, Shui Qingyun is long gone, and it is Shui Lingzhen in front of you."

"Okay, Ling Zhen. You told Uncle Shi that the emperor said this morning that he was going to send the woman from the rivers and lakes to Yancheng with His Royal Highness King Xian, is it you? ”

"It's me."

"So you've been to the ancient city?"

"I've been there."

"Are you going to ......?"

"That's right."

"You're crazy!"

Shui Lingzhen lowered her head and smiled: "Uncle Shi, I am very sober. ”

Wen Xie sighed: "Then who are you here for today?" ”

"Please Uncle Shi take action and save the life of Beihou."

"Save Yi Lan? He is not good for what you have planned, so why keep him? ”

"Ling Zhen is now cooperating with King Ning, and saving Beihou is also to gain his trust. As long as Qin Yuan admits his affection, this person will be able to use it in the future. It's just that I have to wronged Uncle Shi. ”

"Yi Lan and I just have political disagreements, so it's okay to save him." Wen Xie waved his hand.

"It's just that Ling Zhen has thought about it, once you have an intersection with Qin Yuan, your identity may be exposed at any time. Even if he can't find it for a while, he has been on the battlefield for many years and is unfathomable. ”

Shui Lingzhen coughed for a while before nodding and saying, "As long as the fragments can be recovered and rebuilt in Liuxi City, Ling Zhen is willing to take risks." Now that he and I are taking what we need, Uncle Shi can secretly help Qin Yuan in my name in the future, and some people still need to borrow his hand to get rid of them. ”

"You can plan well for a few years, so why bother? What if I help Qin Yuan? Once your identity is revealed, he will no longer believe me. Wen Xie looked at Shui Lingzhen like this, both distressed and helpless.

"So...... You...... Very important. When necessary, help Qin Yuan with all his might...... Can. ”

"What's wrong with you? Ling Zhen! ”

Shui Lingzhen's face became more and more pale, and her breath began to weaken.

"Uncle Shi, I started to suffer from the backlash of the moire three years ago, and my days are running out. Since someone has pushed me into this deep pool, I should take this opportunity to do what I have to do...... All of them were done. Uncle Qiushi...... Fulfill. ”

Wen Xie held Shui Lingzhen, gathered Xi Ling in his palm and pushed it into her body: "Okay, I promise you!" Say no more, concentrate. ”

It wasn't until Shui Lingzhen's complexion recovered that Wen Xie let go of his hand.

"Uncle Xie Shi."

"It's not difficult to promise you, but this matter still needs to be justified, otherwise it will be inconvenient to act in Beijing."

"What do you mean?"

"I said to the outside world, when I saw you and I fell in love today, and you are the same age as my son Wen Chong, I will accept you as a righteous daughter and take more care of your master. In private, if you call me a father-in-law, I will help you, okay? ”
