The two of them hid their breath.

In the silence, there was only the wind and the sound of prayers from the people under the mountain.

Then the moon rose slowly, and the cacophony of prayers slowly receded like a tide.

In the faint moonlight, in the entire mountain forest, there were only the distant chirping of insects and the whimper of unknown birds.

Although Feng Yan felt that there seemed to be something missing around her from the beginning, it was only then that she realized what was missing-

In the early years, when she was squatting alone in the mountains to guard the pseudo-luan, the most difficult thing was the night when the flying insects were buzzing.

But tonight, there have been no mosquitoes close to each other.

At this moment, she was so close to Wei Xingzhen, she looked at the back of his bare neck, and felt that a faint fragrance of turquoise seemed to be coming from Lord Wei's body.

This smell ...... When I was in the house, I didn't hear of it.

Could it be that Lord Wei prepared incense in advance for today's trip......

Just as Feng Yan wanted to confirm further, she suddenly felt a slight movement not far away.

Dozens of black birds fluttered their wings from the forest with a sudden chirp, and then disappeared again among the branches of the night.

"Here we are." Wei Xingzhen looked in the southwest direction and said softly.

……

"Heavenly Master, why did you let my sister and Lord Wei act alone? Isn't it a wild spirit lately, I heard that the wild spirit is flourishing on Daizong Mountain, and my sister has just been attacked, in case there is any accident-"

Du mocked up twice, "It's safer for her to stay next to Wei Xingzhen than anywhere, don't worry." ”

"Huh?" Feng Xiaoqi was surprised for a while, "Why?" ”

Du Weifeng gave a thumbs up with both hands, "Because Lord Wei is upright, any demons and ghosts will have to take a detour when they encounter him." ”

Feng Xiaoqi glanced at him suspiciously—she faintly felt that Du Tianshi's words were fooling.

There was already a mountain gate in front of him, and in the halo of torches and lanterns, Feng Xiaoqi suddenly saw a young man riding a black horse, standing at the front of the team.

Behind him, the non-commissioned officers chatted in twos and threes, and he was the only one, like an arrogant rooster, standing outside the crowd.

She suddenly remembered what her sister had said to her in the past—a person who keeps his back straight even when he is waiting is worth communion.

Xiao Qi stretched out a finger and poked Du Weifeng, "Heavenly Master, who is that young man in front?" ”

"Which one?"

"Black clothes, riding a black horse, the one who doesn't talk to anyone."

Du Weifeng narrowed his eyes and looked at it, "Aha, that's Ji Ran, the young master of Dali Temple." ”

Ji Ran.

Feng Xiaoqi tilted his head slightly, this name is quite nice.

It seems very appropriate to put it on such a teenager.

Not far away, the convoy escorting Cen Lingju also looked at this side.

Ji Ran gently turned the horse's head and took a few steps towards this side, he asked in a loud voice towards the shadow, "Is it Du Tianshi?" ”

"yes." Du Weifeng carried the lantern and still went down the steps leisurely.

Ji Ran also turned over and dismounted, and turned around to arrange for someone to invite Jun Jun down from the prisoner car.

This was the first time Feng Xiaoqi had seen such an embarrassed Cen Lingju - her eyes were blindfolded, her hands were tied behind her back, and her ankles were chained.

Ji Ran opened his mouth and said, "Untie Junjun -"

"Wait," before Ji Ran could finish speaking, Du Weifeng stepped forward to stop him first, "Don't loosen the tie here, you let your people carry the county monarch up the mountain first." ”

"Yes."

Ji Ran turned around and ordered, and someone at the back of the convoy immediately brought a bamboo sedan chair, and then they removed the strips of cloth from Cen Lingju's eyes and helped her up with a flail.

Du Weifeng looked at Ji Ran, "Why did Your Majesty let you send someone here...... Isn't this what Peach Blossom Wei should do? ”

"Originally, yes, but today, a few people on Taohuawei's side who often run errands in front of His Majesty have errands on their backs today, so it's inconvenient to come over." Ji Ran replied, "So Your Majesty let me come." ”

Du mocked up and laughed.

"What are you laughing at?"

"The big cases in the capital are all on my shoulders, and it is inconvenient for them to come over on any errands, it is nothing more than that you, a stunned young man, are not afraid of anything, whether it is the Cen family or the eldest princess's mansion, they dare to open their minds."

Ji Ran frowned slightly, and was about to refute when Cen Lingju's bamboo sedan chair happened to pass by him.

Although Cen Lingju, who had been tied up all day, was embarrassed at the moment, his eyes still looked like a little leopard who wanted to kill.

It's just that on the way out of the city this morning, she roared all the way at Ji Ran in front of her, and now her voice is completely dumb.

"He Ran, you wait—" She bared her teeth viciously at Ji Ran, "I remember you this time, you wait——!! ”

Ji Ran met Cen Lingju's gaze without changing his face, "Save your energy." Don't forget, don't forget that your reflection on the mountain is assessed by your own official. ”

Cen Lingju choked.

"What ......"

"Let's go." Ji Ran raised his hand and waved lightly, and the two wrestlers carrying the bamboo sedan chair moved forward steadily, and he also followed closely behind, walking up step by step.

Feng Xiaoqi had been standing behind Du Weifeng, the lights were dim, obviously neither Cen Lingju nor Ji Ran had paid attention to her existence.

In the convoy that sent Cen Lingju, a palace man slowly walked out at this time, and he pulled Du Weifeng to the side and spoke for a long time.

Feng Xiaoqi glanced at the two of them from a distance, and gave up after finding that they couldn't really hear it.

She looked back at the boy whose back gradually melted into the night of the mountain road.

It seems that Ji Ran seems to be quite familiar with this section of the mountain road in Tianji Palace.

After waiting for a cup of tea, the palace people finished talking to Du Tianshi, and Du Weifeng came back.

The palace people led three or five people down the mountain alone, and Xiao Qi followed Du Tianshi back the same way.

"Heavenly Master, I seem to have heard Cen Lingju shouting that Shaoqing Lord 'He Ran' just now?"

"Hmm." Du Weifeng replied in a low voice, obviously thinking about something else, so it sounded a little absent-minded.

"But didn't you say his surname Ji before?"

"Ji is his mother's last name." Du mocked the wind and said softly, "He was originally a descendant of the He clan in Chang'an. ”

Feng Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment, "That He family of the pianist He Kui?" ”

"Yes," Du Yanfeng glanced at Xiao Qi, "Where is there any other He family in Chang'an?" ”

"No wonder," Feng Xiaoqi suddenly realized, "I've never seen anyone dare to be so unkind to Cen Lingju......"

When Du mocked the words, he couldn't help laughing, "There are many people who are not polite to him." ”

……

In the mountain temple, Feng Yan and Wei Xingzhen were each tied to a tree with a red rope.

The red rope was like a living thing, glowing as red as lava in the dark night—it was tightly wrapped around Feng Wei's wrists, ankles, and necks, guarding them from escaping.

In front of them stood a pale and triumphant young boy, his hair scattered around his waist, dressed in a robe so much larger than his body that his hands and feet were shrunk in a crumpled mass of silk.

This child looks younger than Huai Qing, probably only six or seven years old, his appearance is quite cute, and his voice is full of childishness, so that Feng Yan couldn't tell whether this was a little boy or a little girl for a while.

The only difference from humans is that above his two human ears, there is a pair of hairy ears that cannot be hidden for the time being, and they are erected high.

The ears are standing there alertly.

"Don't think that if you destroy my puppet, you can escape from the palm of my hand!" The child let out a loud roar, "Even if I am now, I can still take you all!" ”

"Poof."

"Don't laugh ——!" The kid was holding Wei Xingzhen's sword in his arms, his face flushed, "If you don't tell me honestly-"

"But what do you want us to confess?" Feng Yan asked.

"How the hell did you get this sword?"
