Chapter 173: In the Bureau

As soon as the day dawned, the temple bell rang.

The quaint and distant sound of the bell echoes in the mountains, waking up the sleepers.

Nan Jinyu got up from the couch, swept the breakfast and notes on the table, picked them up and looked at them, her voice was muffled, "What is this for?" ”

Simply packed up and went out, and the moment she pushed the door open, Nan Jinyu was stunned by the scenery outside.

The mist-shrouded courtyard seems to be in the sky city, and the landscape, grass and trees are simple and full of aura, like an isolated fairyland.

"Donor, are you awake? Yueshan Spring is here, please come with the little monk. ”

A smiling little novice appeared at the gate of the courtyard, his big eyes glowing with innocence, waiting to show Nan Jinyu the way.

"There's a little master Lao."

Nan Jinyu smiled and followed, I don't know why Xiao Chen left a note and sent someone to lead the way, are you afraid that she will get lost in this fairyland?

It wasn't until she walked out of the courtyard and saw the narrow hollow ladder between the peaks that she understood why, a few ladders with chains and planks, and cliffs on both sides of the top of the mountain, if there was no one to guide her, she was afraid that she would not dare to try to walk at all.

Trying not to think that there might be an abyss under the ladder, Nan Jinyu lifted her breath and followed Xiao Shami forward.

"Donor, be careful, the mountain road is slippery this morning, if you are afraid that the little monk can lead you away."

Xiao Shami turned his face, with a little smile on his round face, but his tone of voice was extremely serious.

The master said that he should come to meet the reincarnated Tiansha Demon Star, but what he saw was only a soul different from the current world......

"It's okay, I can keep up, little master, please."

Nan Jinyu said with a smile, she is obviously a cute little doll, but she looks serious, she is really very cute, I don't know if this little master knows about the mundane things of the ten zhang red dust outside this hidden world?

Seeing that she was calm, the little novice did not insist any longer, and walked steadily under his feet, and in a short time he reached the end of the ladder through the clouds, and stood on the rock on the edge of the cliff to look at her, and spoke again.

"The donor walks slowly, His Royal Highness the King of Qin told the little monk to take care of the donor."

"Okay."

Nan Jinyu couldn't help laughing, her big eyes narrowed into a slit, and the cloud-shrouded ladder through the clouds was not so terrifying to look at, but it had a different charm in between.

After passing through four or five ladders, they finally reached the halfway point of a large mountain in the middle, and down the steep steps, a clear spring came into view.

"Donor, this is it."

The little novice stopped, had no intention of continuing to walk, and bowed down to make a gesture of please.

"Thank you, little master."

Nan Jinyu bowed her head slightly and walked straight forward.

What she said in the clouds was probably how she felt at the moment, and when she really came down from the clouds, everything seemed so beautiful.

"Huh?"

Someone by Yueshan Spring looked back, and was obviously a little surprised when they saw Nan Jinyu, but they were immediately relieved.

"Master, this is Xiao Yu."

When Xiao Chen saw her coming, he walked over head-on, and there was an elderly man with gray hair standing on the other side of the cliff, with a plain robe and gorgeous hair, but he couldn't see the appearance of a monk.

"Jin Yu has seen Shizun."

Nan Jinyu bowed uprightly, she didn't know that this was Xiao Chen's teacher before, but it seemed that the other party didn't care much about their identities, so she was relieved.

"The county lord doesn't have to be polite, Sanssouci Mountain doesn't have those exquisiteness, just feel free."

The Huafa elder looked at her with a smile, his eyes were the same as those of the young novice, although the age difference was several times, his appearance was very similar.

"Yes."

Nan Jinyu glanced at Xiao Chen, and saw that he was pulling himself to the spring, and he was familiar with the way, which was a little novel.

"Yueshan Spring is a rare cold spring, I came to meditate and pranayama in the morning, and I didn't wake you up when I saw that you were sleeping soundly."

Xiao Chen subconsciously explained, obviously not treating Huafa as an outsider.

"Oh, are you going to go on now?"

Nan Jinyu was a little embarrassed, and subconsciously turned her head to look at the Huafa elder, but found that the person had disappeared, and there was not even a shadow left.

"No, it's extremely dangerous to force the pass before the skill is reached, and besides, we didn't come here for this."

Xiao Chen shook his head, seeing that her attention was on others, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

The old guy is very curious, so he has to take his little novice with the eyes of heaven to see the evil spirit of the Heavenly Demon Star......

"Oh, what's that for?"

Nan Jinyu yawned, Xiao Chen, the demon never does useless things, the danger of Luoxian has just been resolved, he will definitely not run out for no reason to relax, most of the time he will come because of something.

"Look over there."

Xiao Chen raised his hand and pointed to an independent mountain peak hidden a few zhang away by the spring, which at first glance looked like a mountain rock floating in the void, but it was not real.

"Is there anything strange there?"

Nan Jinyu approached a few points, his eyes stayed on the top of the mountain looming among the clouds, fixed his eyes and concentrated, and after a while, he actually saw a dazzling statue, like a fairy in the clouds, a goddess in the fog, and the guardian of Nuoda Sanssouci Mountain.

"That's the Fog Hidden Goddess Mountain, you can see it on a sunny day at the beginning of the snow every year, and it is rumored that the wish made under the Goddess Mountain can come true, so you make a wish."

Xiao Chen patiently explained, pulling her to the big rock on the edge of the cliff, looking at the mysterious mountain with beautiful feelings.

"Okay."

Hearing this, Nan Jinyu folded her hands, closed her eyes and lowered her head and began to make a wish silently.

Others worship the sacred mountain by burning incense and making wishes in the temple under the mountain, but Xiao Chen worships the sacred mountain because he can't stand on the top of the mountain to make a wish, which is really unique......

After a while, Nan Jinyu opened her eyes and saw that the people around her were still standing silently, and her long and narrow eyes reflected her own figure, and her heart suddenly warmed, "Your Highness, don't you make a wish?" ”

"Yes."

Xiao Chen smiled at her, his scarlet lips with a little different meaning, and said, "Didn't the golden boy say anything to you?" ”

"Who is the Golden Boy? Is that little novice called the golden boy? What a cute name! ”

Nan Jinyu pointed to the way she came, and her eyes stayed at the intersection, but the figure of the little novice was already gone.

"Well, he said he was a little novice? A man's mouth is a deceitful ghost. ”

Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with the love she showed, that kid has unusual heavenly eyes, and he has an invulnerable body, she actually thinks he is cute?

"Man...... That's just a child! He didn't say that he was a little novice, but I guessed by the way I dressed, didn't His Highness ask someone to take care of me? Why do you dislike a child so much? ”

Nan Jinyu blinked, and the child's round face sounded, and she was a little puzzled by his overreaction.

"Uh-huh! The golden boy has wisdom beyond his age, he can see through the soul of the gods and the world, and the body of the gods and ghosts is inviolable, and you actually regard him as a child? ”

Xiao Chen was so angry, obviously he didn't expect this girl to look at the golden boy differently, and some regretted agreeing to the master to let the golden boy see her.

"So mysterious? So he has a supernatural ability, too? ...... who can see people Soul? ”

Nan Jinyu exclaimed, the beautiful beauty is naturally in a bad mood, Rao is Xiao Chen's unhappy look, her mood is also very good, today's pressure and emotions have all disappeared, and even distractions are much less.

"Well, not only that, but he can see the fate of some people."

Xiao Chen saw that her interest was not in the appearance of the golden boy, and her face softened slightly.

"Wow...... Isn't that his potential to be a god stick again? ”

Nan Jinyu exclaimed, her eyes stayed on Xiao Chen's somewhat dark face, and she reached out and pinched her cheek, "Your Highness's look, are you afraid of what he predicts?" ”

"That's not it, the eye of heaven will consume a lot of his mind, and he can't use it in ordinary times, and he will only be forced to use it if things are critical."

Xiao Chen explained, seeing the sun slowly rising in the mountain stream, he suddenly raised his hand.

Yuebai's fingertips pointed to the void, and the mist-shrouded mountain top quickly froze into ice crystals, and the transparent and translucent ice crystals were like a void crystal road, spreading from the front of the eyes to the top of the Goddess Mountain, which was so beautiful that people couldn't help but take their breath away.

"Wow!"

Nan Jinyu exclaimed in amazement, stretched out her hand and poked at the ice crystals floating on the clouds in the air, and the sunlight reflected on the countless transparent ice crystals, forming a rainbow bridge full of radiance.

"It is rumored that when you see a rainbow on the mountain of the goddess after the first snowfall, your wish will come true."

Xiao Chen no longer mentioned the matter of the golden boy, and his mood seemed to be much better.

"Poof!"

Nan Jinyu couldn't help laughing, can this guy even make a rainbow in order to fulfill his wish?

But what about the beauty she felt inexplicably in her heart? 80

Sure enough, women are emotional animals, even if they know that they are nothing, they still choose to believe.

When going down the mountain, it is much faster than going up the mountain, the situation in Luoxian County has just been settled, and Xiao Chen's absence will obviously have an impact, so the two of them rushed back non-stop, and when they arrived at the foot of Sanssouci Mountain, Yebai had already driven the carriage and waited.

"Let's go."

Xiao Chen glanced at Yebai, saw his appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and said, "Is something wrong?" ”

"It's not a big deal......

Ye Bai glanced at Nan Jinyu, and after the two of them got into the car and sat down, he said slowly: "The shadow guard of Dongchuan Mansion sent a message that the Hou Shizi of Yongning indicated that he wanted to return to Luo County, and he was afraid that he had already set off at this time." ”

"What is he doing here?"

Xiao Chen pursed his lips, but it was rare that he didn't have a black face, but his tone didn't sound very good.

"The secret guard's letter didn't say it, but it seems that the prince of Yongning didn't come alone, he also brought someone!"

Yebai scratched his head, this is really enough for the enemy.

Looking at the entire Dayan, those who dare to act with His Highness have long been either dead or injured, but this Yongning Hou Shizi, who is favored by His Majesty by virtue of his family status, has repeatedly provoked His Highness......

"Who did you bring?"

Xiao Chen closed his eyes slightly, as if he had accepted this fact.

As the little fox said, what is his is always his, and if it is not his, it will not be anyway!

"The third lady of Linchuan Mansion, Li Huanting, went to assassinate Lord Yu of Shifu to save her relatives, I don't know why the two of them who can't beat the eight poles are familiar."

Yebai told the truth, and the gossip became trembling.

If others were worried about the lord of Tianqing County, he would have been killed by the master a hundred and eighty times, but this person is the prince of Yongning, and His Royal Highness can only endure and endure it considering the overall situation......

"yes, I see."

Xiao Chen yawned and said noncommittally.

No wonder the Southwest Army bumped into the military transfer exercise of Linchuan Mansion before, and it has always been inseparable from Ji Lingfeng, but this kid has been a good person, and now Baba is running over, is he here to ask for credit?

"Your Highness, I heard that the Linchuan Mansion ...... to transfer troops"

Yebai wanted to remind him, afraid that the two big Buddhas would fight again when they met, after all, the master's initial recovery from a serious illness had not yet fully recovered, so what if he really started to do so, what if he suffered a loss?

"You'll know when you come."

Xiao Chen interrupted him to continue gossiping, and turned his eyes to the side, but found that Nan Jinyu had already slept unconscious, and couldn't help laughing.

It's really a wild fox with a big heart!

As soon as the sun went down, a low-key carriage slowly entered the West City Gate of Luoxian County and headed straight for the post station.

Not long after Nan Jinyu arrived, she had eaten dinner and was lying on the couch boringly reading a book, when she suddenly heard the sound of a carriage in the courtyard.

"Your Highness, the Marquis of Yongning has arrived."

Yebai's voice sounded outside the door, and his tone was a little worried.

"Hmm."

Xiao Chen responded perfunctorily, and only continued to draw something quietly, not even bothering to raise his gaze, and there was no tension in the morning at all.

"Is that ......?"

Yebai originally wanted to ask if he would invite someone in if the Hou Shizi of Yongning came after a while, but he saw that the people downstairs walked straight up, and he didn't mean to ask at all.

"White Guard, His Royal Highness King Qin is here?"

Ji Lingfeng strode in, followed by a woman wearing a hood.

The woman is twenty-eight years old, looking like a person from Zhongzhou, she does not flinch in the face of his gaze, but bows her head slightly, Yebai knows that this is the rumored girl, right?

"This ......"

Yebai hesitated, and was about to wait for Xiao Chen to speak, but heard the girl behind Ji Lingfeng speak.

"The young daughter of the thunder of Linchuan Mansion, Li Huanting, asks to see His Royal Highness the King of Qin!"

The girl wearing the hood took off the cloak on her body, and with the surprised eyes of the guards, she walked straight to the door of Xiao Chen and Nan Jinyu's room.

The pen in Xiao Chen's hand paused, and his eyes stayed on Nan Jinyu, who had gotten up from the couch, and couldn't help but hook the corners of his lower lip, "Don't be busy putting on your boots, your hair is still loose." ”

“……”

Nan Jinyu sighed, and then remembered that she had not tied her hair since she took a bath, and at this time she was not only untidy and did not wear soap boots, but also seemed to be untidy, so she had to say, "Then I still won't go out." ”

"Hmm."

Xiao Chen raised his hand, and with a wave of his silver sleeves, he used a screen to block the inner room, and unless he went around it, he couldn't see the people inside.

"Come in."

It wasn't until this sentence came out of the room that Ji Lingfeng led Li Huanting in, and his expression naturally saluted, "Ling Feng has seen His Royal Highness King Qin!" ”

"No courtesy."

Xiao Chen didn't raise his eyes, he still continued to lie at the desk, his attitude was not too bad, but he was just relatively cold.

"The courtier, Li Huanting, has seen His Royal Highness the King of Qin! The courtiers dare to ask His Royal Highness if Xiao Yu Gongzi is available? ”

Li Huanting went straight to the road single-handedly, King Qin and the Hou Shizi of Yongning were really very deep, and it was not easy to bring her in, how could she continue to embarrass others?

"Well, you're looking for her?"

Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows, completed the last stroke, and then changed the seal to finish, without looking at her half a look the whole time.

"Courtier...... I heard that Xiao Yu Gongzi was proficient in Miao Jiang Gu Technique, so he took the liberty to come and implore Xiao Yu Gongzi to save the life of his courtier! ”

Li Huanting's words were earnest, and there was a shallow breathing sound in the inner room, and a gentle fragrance of flowers, which was different from the strong mandala incense outside, thinking that someone had just bathed, and that person was the little Yu Gongzi that the Hou Shizi of Yongning said!

"Why?"

Xiao Chen put down the seal, then raised his eyes to look at Ji Lingfeng, saw him worried, and then looked at the girl beside him, and his heart was relieved.

"Back to His Royal Highness, Miss Li has been in the Golden Cicada Gu for more than a month, and we have set a trap under the pretense of returning to Linchuan Mansion."

Ji Lingfeng glanced at the inner room, only to see the sound of kicking and tapping inside, and then saw Nan Jinyu with loose hair and not even wearing a mask, and his eyes were about to pop out in shock.

"This, this, this ......"

Li Huanting was the first to come back to her senses, obviously this little Yu Gongzi is not a son, and it is impossible for a male pet to learn from this figure.

"Miss Li looking for me?"

Nan Jinyu crossed her arms, looked people up and down, and said, "Girl, take a closer look." ”

"Yes!"

Li Wanting obediently did as she heard when she heard this, although she was also a woman, it was just the first time she saw a woman like Jiang Ran, but the other party behaved generously, and even looked at herself with a light and elegant look like an orchid, without the slightest abnormality.

Nan Jinyu tilted her head, seeing that the woman's face was hidden in the shadows, and she couldn't see it really, so she simply raised her hand and pinched her chin, held her shoulder and turned it slightly, and pressed Li Huanting on the table.

Li Huanting was lying on her back on the table, and she was so shocked that a cold sweat broke out on her back, but she saw that the other party's face was close to a foot away, and her surprisingly beautiful eyes stared at her intently, without any other look, and her mind settled.

The corners of Xiao Chen's mouth twitched, and he turned to Ji Lingfeng, who was stunned on the side, "Bai Ying is in Dongchuan Mansion?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, yes."

Ji Lingfeng was shocked to realize that he was rude, and silently turned his eyes away.

"What kind of trap did you set up to trap her?"

Xiao Chen said noncommittally, as if he didn't care what Nan Jinyu was doing, and even had a little smile on his face.

The disappearance of the saint in southern Xinjiang and the fall of the witch clan, if the saint returns, it will inevitably set off another bloody storm......

"Asking for marriage can't make a drama of planning to elope."

Ji Lingfeng's tone was light, Nan Jinyu on the side had already let go of Li Huanting and returned to nature, and then heard her laughter.

"You two can do this!"

Nan Jinyu came to such a sentence without a head, but saw that Li Huanting's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, but it was not a shy demeanor, but a little embarrassed.

"The courtiers have seen the county lord of Tianqing, I wonder if the county lord has a way to solve the Gu for the courtier?"

Li Huanting felt that she had never been so embarrassed, she was pressed on the table by a woman and didn't say anything, and Ji Lingfeng's guy didn't tell her that Xiao Yu Gongzi was the lord of Tianqing!

"Well, there is a way, but ......"

Nan Jinyu paused, turned to Ji Lingfeng, and said, "You're not afraid of being hunted down by the Zhongzhou Assassin History?" ”
