Chapter 33: The Wind Rises

The moon entered the Mid-Autumn Festival, the bright moon was in the sky and countless tulle palace lamps illuminated the west courtyard of the prefect's mansion, Li Zhilian got up and prepared to close the window, and his white and slender hand stretched out from above

When she was about to make a move, a familiar weak face, with a smile in her eyes, came to her room, and closed the window with her hand: "I'm cold to death~ The six princes of the Western Zhou Kingdom talk a lot"

Li Zhilian hesitated in shock: "Medicine jar~? ”

Zhou Que walked to the desk, casually flipped through the book that Li Zhilian had just closed, and said: "Chronicles of the Four Kingdoms~ Only places like Xilin City can have this kind of tasteless book, specifically to deceive you savages who come out of the mountains."

Li Zhilian snatched the book and said, "Medicine jar~ Why are you here?" Your poison is not healed yet? Your face is as white as if you are ready to be buried, do you want me to cook you a few more bowls of soup and medicine?"

Zhou Que recalled the viscous bitter dark green liquid mixed with animal feces, and almost didn't spit it out: "You have changed your name to Li Zhilian!" Why can't I be here! You say, isn't it? ”

Li Zhilian said: "Tranquility is me~ Li Zhilian is also me~ It's just that I am Li Zhilian now"

Zhou Que's eyebrows raised slightly: "So, are you really Li Zhilian, the princess who was once exiled?" ”

"Hmm~" Li Zhilian nodded

Zhou Que sat on the stool in front of Li Zhilian's desk, spread out his fan, and chuckled: "I don't know what the hell this Shen Zhitang is doing?" Specially take in you surnamed Li, Zhou Zhi still trusts him so much"

Li Zhilian didn't know why, so he walked up to him and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Zhou Que picked up the book, walked to the window and said with a smile: "I just came to remind you that this Tianyuan Continent is about to be chaotic, you should obediently go back to the Dark Night Forest and stay!" When the situation in the world is certain, if I am still alive, I will pick you up."

Li Zhilian turned his head to look at him and said: "As the saying goes, heroes come out in troubled times, I want to join in the fun."

Zhou Que looked back, and the white clothes looked like a fairy about to take off in the moonlight: "You are not a person who can join in the fun, it was Shen Zhitang who fed you some ecstasy soup!" ”

A gust of wind blew, and the person in front of the window had disappeared, only to hear the voice coming with the wind: "Little Anning~ I'm waiting for you in Lining City"

Li Zhilian walked to the window in a daze, and was about to close the window, when he saw a person standing under the ginkgo tree, looking at her with a smile, scratching the back of his head helplessly and muttering, "What's wrong tonight?" Has my room become a tree hole? He turned around and put his coat on his body, walked under the ginkgo tree and asked, "Senior brother~ Is there something wrong with me?" ”

Li Jianqing looked at the direction where Zhou Que left and whispered: "I came with Childe on Tuesday~"

Li Jianqing silently turned her head to stare at her, she raised her eyes and saw that his side was outlined in the moonlight, and the eyes that looked at her were faintly reflected, just like the moonlight at this time: "Childe Tuesday?" I remembered that in the book I just read, there were two prime ministers in southern Xinjiang, except for Shen Zhitang and Zhou Zhi's younger brother Zhou Hao: "Is it the nephew of the current emperor?" ”

Li Jianqing nodded: "It's just that the Zhou family doesn't recognize him, and now I don't know why they recruited him back now." His voice was low and soft, but Li Zhilian felt a chill, she was a private meeting with the teacher's nemesis, and she was discovered by others

The breeze was blowing, the leaves were fluttering, and the uneasiness in her heart was turbulent and undulating, and she only felt an indescribable emotion in her heart, and she didn't know how to explain it

Li Jianqing lowered his head: "I just came to tell you that this person should not be deeply acquainted"

Li Zhilian's breathing became rapid because of his words, and he blurted out: "I knew him well in Zhongluan City, when he had a poisonous attack in his body, I saved him, and he never told me his name, and I was called An Ning at that time."

Li saw the Qing Dynasty she nodded and said: "His name is Zhou Que, is the second son of Zhou Hao, the secretary of the ministry, his mother was the head of Xiangsi Pavilion, after being included in the Zhou Mansion, and was not treated well, when he was pregnant, he was poisoned by Mrs. Zhou, so that he was born with fetal poison, his father named him Zhou Que, when he was eight years old, that is, the year you were exiled, witnessed the tragic death of his mother, I heard that the original flower-like face, the flesh was rotten before death, and then he disappeared, a year later, Mrs. Zhou and more than a dozen domestic servants died tragically at home, The death was exactly the same as when Zhou Quan's mother died, and Zhou Hao was poisoned and lost his fertility, at that time, Zhou Cheng, the eldest son of Zhou, was seriously ill, and Zhou Hao, in order to prevent the Zhou family from being extinct, endured it stubbornly, and publicized that the second son of the Zhou family went out to seek medical advice.

Li Zhilian raised his head to the side and whispered, "He was only nine years old at that time?" ”

She thought that only she had experienced the most painful encounter in the world and tasted the most filthy taste, but she didn't expect that what the medicine jar endured was even more terrible than what she had experienced

The boy in the jungle, gritting his teeth and tough, the boy who would drink the medicine as long as she said it could detoxify, just to survive?

Li Jianqing looked at her silently, seeing that her eyes were so wide, but her eyes were full of pain, she slowly raised her arms and quickly put them down again: "I don't know how good your relationship is with him, just remind you, keep an eye on everything, he must have something important when he comes out this time."

Both of them stopped talking, only quietly watched the full moon rise in the east at this time, and after a long time, Li Zhilian slowly turned his gaze to Li Jianqing's face and said: "He just said that these four countries are about to be messed up, and he wants me to go back to Zhongluan City and stay well."

Li Jianqing's face turned pale, but his voice was still steady: "It seems that this Xilin City case is just the beginning~"

Li Zhilian looked up, and just wanted to retire, but he only heard: "I'm going to go to the prison cell to interrogate Wang Zhihua, the boss of the Santang Valley, do you want to be together?" ”

Li Zhilian exclaimed: "Wang Zhiwen is in the cell? She also thought about going to Santang Valley to find him at night

Li Jianqing nodded and said, "Listen to the guards, I fought for two days, and I didn't say a word."
