He raised his eyelashes again, stared at the undulating lake for a long time, and said expressionlessly: "Get up." ”

After a while, the people in the lake finally slowly emerged from the water.

The cloak slipped from his head, and a drenched silver hair poured down on the water, and the shattered light of the moon fell on his side, forming clusters of elongated lines of light that dangled in the water.

And his shoulder was covered in blood, and it was obvious that he had been hit hard.

He emerged from the water, and the droplets of water met little by little from the upper and lower eyelashes, melting into vapor that wet the scallop scales at the end of his eyes.

But because he was wearing a mask, there was no way to see his expression clearly.

Fu Su looked at Lin Weixu, who was looking down at him indifferently on the shore, his lips moved slightly, and his voice sounded darker and hoarse than usual, "I'll take care of my injuries for a while and leave." ”

In this regard, Lin Weixu's answer was still two cold words: "Go ashore." ”

Fu Su looked at her, lowered his head and pressed the wound on his shoulder, and was about to endure the pain to go ashore, when there was a strange movement outside the house.

Lin Weixu glanced at the prestige, and when he turned his head back, Fu Su had already dived into the water again.

Soon Xu Bai brought someone in to report: "My lord, the commander of the Praetorian Guard led his troops to surround the National Teacher's Mansion, saying that he wanted to capture the assassin. ”

Lin Weixu's expression was flat, and he said quietly: "Let them in." ”

Xu Bai didn't ask too much, so he went over to pass the word.

And Lin Weixu looked at the Qinghu Lake that had regained its tranquility, calmed down, lowered his head and wiped the few drops of blood that splashed on the grass with his boots without a trace.

With his hands on his sleeves, he walked out of Mu Garden.

As soon as he walked to the courtyard, the commander of the Praetorian Guard led his troops into the National Teacher's Mansion, and the dark guards in the mansion were in front of Lin Weixu, and the two sides happened to form a confrontation in the huge courtyard.

The commander of the Praetorian Guard looked at the national teacher standing under the eaves of the corridor opposite the courtyard, after all, there was a difference between dignity and inferiority, the commander of the Praetorian Guard took two steps forward and saluted the national teacher, "It is really offensive to visit the national teacher's mansion late at night, and I ask the national teacher to forgive me." ”

Lin Weixu gently hooked his lower lip, leaned lazily against the guardrail of the stone chair in the corridor on the side, and his tone was idle and a little majestic: "You tell me what happened first, and then talk about this issue so that I can't see it." ”

The commander of the Praetorian Guard knew that the National Teacher was embarrassed, but the difference this time was that he was ordered by His Majesty to strictly investigate the matter, and no matter what, there was His Majesty the Emperor behind him, so this time the commander of the Praetorian Guard was a lot more confident, and then said: "There was an assassin in the palace tonight, and Weichen chased him all the way, and found that the assassin had fled to the National Teacher's Mansion, so please cooperate with the search." ”

Lin Weixu casually put his hand on the guardrail, tapped his fingertips, and asked casually: "What are you searching?" ”

"Assassin."

Xu Bai, who was standing beside Lin Weixu, finally couldn't help but shout angrily, "Bold, this is the National Teacher's Mansion!" How can you wait to be presumptuous! ”

The commander of the Praetorian Guard still said: "In order to capture the assassins, please cooperate with the national teacher!" ”

At this time, behind the Praetorian Guard, a sharp and high-pitched voice came - "Your Majesty has arrived!" ”

The Praetorian Guards, who surrounded the National Teacher's Mansion, made way for the emperor, who was dressed in robes.

"National Teacher, there are indeed assassins in the palace today who are taking advantage of the Midyear Festival to commit murder, in order to capture the assassin as soon as possible, you will let the Grand Commander search one or two, if the assassin really does not hide in the National Teacher's Mansion, let the Grand Commander continue to search other places."

As soon as the words fell, Lin Weixu stood up slowly from the stone chair, bowed his head slightly to the emperor, and said without thinking: "Then search it." ”

With this permission, the commander of the Praetorian Guard immediately ordered to lead his troops to search the inside and outside of the National Teacher's Mansion.

During the entire search process, Lin Weixu looked up quite leisurely and enjoyed the fireworks that were still blooming in the night sky.

After about a quarter of an hour, the Praetorian Guards, who had been searching separately, came back one after another, and the answer was the same, they did not find any movable figures.

In the end, the commander of the Praetorian Guard came out of Muyuan and reported to the emperor that no assassin was found.

The emperor's face was cold, and he didn't show anything unusual, but said, "Since there is none, I will go to other places to search." ”

The commander of the Praetorian Guard said yes and was about to lead the troops away.

At this time, Lin Weixu lazily retracted his gaze after enjoying the fireworks, and stopped the person, "Slow." ”

Lin Weixu walked down the steps leisurely as he continued, "The assassin did not appear in the National Teacher's Mansion, but the Grand Commander insisted on saying that he saw the assassin running away from me, in an attempt to frame and slander the national teacher. Your Majesty, what is the crime of the Grand Commander in this matter? ”

The emperor narrowed his eyes and asked, "Master Guoshi...... What do you think to do? ”

Hearing this, the commander of the Praetorian Guard was stunned and looked at the emperor.

Lin Weixu continued: "The appearance of assassins in the palace is really due to the negligence of the commander of the Praetorian Guard, so that the assassins have a chance, and now I can't catch the assassin and go to my house to disturb my rest, slander my reputation, and ask Your Majesty to order the general to be demoted and think about it behind closed doors." ”

Lin Weixu's remarks were made in one go, calm and composed, without a moment's pause at all.

After speaking, he examined the commander of the Praetorian Guard from top to bottom and stood still.

This made the commander of the Praetorian Guard standing behind the emperor turn pale the more he listened, and at the same time he was sure of one thing-

Even after half a year of retreat and recuperation, this Great Qin National Master is still in the nature of retribution......

The commander of the Praetorian Guard immediately knelt down in front of the emperor and declared his innocence.

What he thought was that after all, the national teacher had been in retreat for half a year, and the forces in Beijing and central China must have been much weaker, and he would no longer cover the sky with one hand like he did half a year ago, and His Majesty would not really punish him because of the national teacher's remarks.

However, the fact is that just after he finished speaking, the emperor fixed his mind and did not look at him, but said to Lin Weixu, "The national teacher is reasonable, just do what the national teacher says." ”

After that, the emperor did not linger any longer, and turned around and left.

Gao Gonggong observed his words and immediately raised his voice, "Get ahead!" Back to the palace! ~”

Lin Weixu sent it outside the mansion with a cold face, "Congratulations to Your Majesty." ”

Just as she was about to turn around and go back to the house, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Lin Qingyou, who was hiding behind the stone statue, and Lin Weixu walked in front of her slowly.

As soon as Lin Qingyou looked up, he saw her.

"What are you going to do?"

Lin Qingyou was looked at by her, and subconsciously became nervous: "I...... I've heard that the Assassins have run away from the National Teacher's Mansion, and I'm worried about ......"

Lin Weixu was still expressionless: "What are you worried about?" ”

"I ......" Lin Qingyou was forced to look at her, and after twisting the original words for a long time, she finally didn't dare to say it, and it evolved into another sentence, "Worried...... No Assassins caught. ”

"Oh, I didn't catch it."

Lin Qingyou patted his chest, "That's good......"

Lin Weixu looked at her: "......"

Raised his eyebrows slightly, thoughtfully.

But Lin Qingyou didn't seem to know how stupid he was, and when he learned that Lin Weixu was not in any danger, he forced himself to walk out of the corner of the stone statue calmly, "Then I'll go back first, and the national teacher will see you again." ”

After that, for fear that Lin Weixu would find fault with her, she panicked and quickly slipped away.

After returning to Mu Garden, after retiring all the subordinates, Lin Weixu lazily lowered his gloomy eyes, returned to the edge of Qinghu, and quietly looked at the water.

This time, without Lin Weixu opening his mouth, the Fusu in the water quickly came out on his own, looked up at her, and jumped onto the water.

He was soaking wet, standing in front of Lin Weixu, staring at Lin Weixu for a long time, and said slowly: "Thank you National Teacher-"
