Chapter 60: The Call

"Okay, I'll wait." Sun Youwei snorted softly, "I asked you to come today, and there is one more important thing that you have to take care of." ”

"Obey the Holy Commandment."

Sun Youwei's body leaned forward slightly, "...... He Kui is back. ”

Du Weifeng was stunned for a moment, and the eyes of Gu Jing Wubo suddenly flashed with a little joy, and then quickly fell silent.

"Old friends from the past are happy to return to the city, right?"

Du Weifeng shook his head, "He Kui's appearance now is not a good thing for Your Majesty. ”

"It's good that you know," Sun You's eyes narrowed slightly, "I'm searching for his whereabouts all over the city right now—"

"Ministers should avoid suspicion."

"You don't need to avoid suspicion! Listen, if you find someone first, I can spare his life for the time being, and before the dust settles on the Wild Spirit Case, the people with you will take care of him, and I won't bother anymore. But if I had found him first......"

Sun Youwei frowned, "Do you understand?" ”

Du Weifeng was a little surprised, but he immediately understood Sun Youwei's intentions, and he immediately kowtowed, "Minister...... Congratulations, thank you, Your Majesty! ”

"Go, go find your old friend," Sun Youwei said in a cold voice, "I don't care what method you use, be quick, and never let He Kui fall into the hands of those martyrs." ”

……

By the time Feng Yan in the small building woke up suddenly, it was already the end of Shen Shi.

She had heart palpitations and was covered in cold sweat.

Feng Yan sat up and gently held her forehead - it should have been a nightmare......

But what kind of nightmare is it?

The nightmares of the past, at least the little fragments before waking up, are clear. Today, this feeling is very strange, there is only a chaotic shadow in my mind, and I can't even recall the slightest fragmented remnant.

The only impression that remains...... It's weakness, it's sleepiness, it's a relieved exhaustion.

It was as if she hadn't been sleeping at all that afternoon, but had fallen into some quagmire, struggling with the mud alone for a long time.

The sky outside had turned to dusk - Feng Yan thought she was wrong when she rolled up the bamboo curtain.

Did you sleep all afternoon?

No wonder it feels so groggy.

She slowed down and looked up at the clouds and the swaying shadows of the trees outside the window. Maybe you should go out for a walk now, this evening wind may help you relieve some of your sleepiness.

However, the thought had only just come to mind, and the oncoming evening breeze brought a certain familiar atmosphere.

It felt only for a moment—like the evening that picked up Dijan near the stables, and there was an unknowable danger hidden in the wind.

Not only that, but there are some unspeakable things in today's seemingly nonexistent weirdness.

In the dark, there seemed to be a silent exhortation, urging her to get up.

- Get up. Go to the backyard.

This exhortation is not a word, it has no tone, but a thought that arises unprovoked in the bottom of the heart, but cannot be suppressed.

Feng Yan originally felt a little disturbed, but after realizing this thought, her whole person calmed down.

The thought of going to the backyard was like a seed drifting in the wind, which took root in her heart without saying anything, and spread and grew at a rapid rate.

She closed her eyes, and munched on the details of the thought in silence, only to find it extremely complicated—as if it were pleading, and at the same time sad, it was itchy and uncomfortable, as if only by obeying that thought could this unbearable anxiety be calmed.

Soon, she got up and changed her clothes, then pulled out the short knife from the nearby table and walked slowly downstairs.

All the scenery outside the small building is immersed in the golden sunset.

Feng Yan stepped out of the courtyard with an expressionless face.

At this moment, the six servants in Wei Xingzhen's mansion shuddered almost at the same time—even someone like Bu Wei, who had always been dull.

Near the front yard and house, he was very uncomfortable, and he instinctively dodged behind him, scratching his chest and back with his hands.

"What happened just now?" "How do I feel like I'm going to have an accident again......?"

Bu Wei stopped what he was doing, straightened up and looked into the distance, "It seems to be coming from Mrs.'s small building." ”

He was obviously aware of this, so his expression was even more complicated.

Go gritted his teeth in hatred, "...... How can this kind of moth always rush at dusk, and every time the adults are not at home at this time. ”

"Shall we go and see?" ”

He bit his lower lip and just wanted to answer, "Go!" Then he saw that there was no hurrying through the front door.

"Don't panic!" Before he could run in front of him, he raised his hand, "We feel it too, we have to go to my wife's side to see!" ”

"No...... didn't gasp, "I'm going to say...... Not this one. ”

"What's wrong with that?"

There is no face with a difficult face, "long...... From the eldest princess's mansion, Tangxi Junjun came, saying that he wanted to see his wife. At this time, she has already led people to block our east gate. What are we going to do? ”

"Tangxi Junjun?"

I tilted my head and thought for a while—oh, Cen Lingju!

Their Wei family and the eldest princess's mansion had no grievances in the past and no hatred in the near future, why did this county monarch come to find trouble at such a juncture?

Qu Shi frowned, "Did she say why she wanted to see her?" ”

didn't shake her head, "Jun Jun didn't elaborate, she said that she had a relationship with our wife at the summer banquet last night, but she didn't take a closer look at it at the time, and today she came to see what her wife looked like." ”

He even shrunk his chin when he heard this, "...... What does it matter to her what our wife looks like? ”

"So what the hell is going to do now?" Not in a hurry, she stomped her feet, "I think this person is strange and arrogant, she said to wait for our tea time, if we don't open the door to welcome her in by then, she will lead someone to set fire to our east gate." ”

"Hey? What's wrong with this man? He laughed in surprise, "That's ...... You and don't worry about going to Xiaolou to have a look, I'll meet this county gentleman in front of me. ”

He nodded his head again and again, "Eh! ”

"Also," Qu Shi suddenly remembered, "Hurry up and let me report to the Lord Tai, and let the Lord come back quickly." ”

……

It was still the sandy land in the backyard, and the barrier set up by Wei Xingzhen was still standing there intact.

This time, the closer Feng Yan got, the more she felt as if something was diffusing and growing in that enchantment.

It's looking forward to its arrival.

Feng Yan took a few steps closer, but suddenly stopped—outside the enchantment, He Kui sat there alone, staring silently at the inside of the enchantment.

Feng Yan quietly turned his hand holding the dagger behind him, "Gong He? ”

He Kui turned his head in response.

"Why are you here alone, Grandpa Guo?" Feng Yan looked left and right, "He wasn't with you?" ”

He Kui shook his head.

Feng Yan slowly approached and said, "...... If there are people in the palace at this time, it will be dangerous. ”

He Kui didn't say anything, he picked up a dead branch and wrote and drew on the nearby land.

Feng Yan approached and saw He Kui writing:

"Something is wrong here"

She was a little surprised, "Does He Gong feel that something is wrong?" ”

He Kui lowered his head, and waved the dead branch in his hand to write on the ground.

"There seems to be something ...... it."

His expression seemed to hesitate, and the withered branch in his hand froze, and after a moment he continued:

「…… It's calling me."
