In the dead of night, the moon is dark and the wind is high.

The western suburbs of the city, located in the city of the city lord's hall.

Li Junqi and Ziyu quietly sneaked into the mansion, which is a unique mansion, the courtyard is full of three-story and four-story pavilions, and a long pavilion can be seen at intervals of stone paths, surrounded by inverted bell-like flowers, the calyxes are white, and the stamens are circles of different shades of blue.

The mahogany plaque in front of the mansion gate clearly engraves four big characters 'City Lord Palace', which is enough to show the noble and arrogant status of this mansion and its undesecrated status.

Since it was already the third watch outside, a few patrolling soldiers could occasionally be seen in the courtyard, yawning, looking lazily to the east and west, and then hurried in the other direction.

Li Junqi and Ziyu flew through the eaves and walked through the attic in the mansion, they wanted to find the young master's room, according to the topography of the entire city lord's hall, the most gorgeous and elegant attic in the middle should be the city lord's young master's residence.

Li Junqi and Ziyu hid on the second floor of the attic, carefully holding their breath so as not to be detected by others.

"Your Highness, this doesn't seem to be the place where you cherish the snow." Ziyu noticed through the crack in the window that there were two elders inside, a man and a woman, looking at the slightly old face, with some wrinkles on their skin, and they were talking to a tall and thin woman named Mei Niang.

Li Junqi leaned sideways, and also quietly looked inside, he pricked up his ears, and he couldn't use internal strength at will, listening carefully to the conversation inside, intermittently......

"Mei Niang, what kind of woman does the young master like? What's so bad about the Moon Princess? Is it ......?"

The words behind him couldn't be heard clearly, and Li Junqi saw the tall and thin woman suddenly kneeling down and kowtowing, swearing and assuring: "The subordinates are loyal to the young master, and they have no intention of trespassing, and they dare not dare to be the wife of the city lord!" The young master has a pure heart and few desires, and his subordinates have persuaded him many times to no avail, so please give her subordinates some more time, and when the young master figures it out, he will personally go to the imperial city to propose to Princess Yue! ”

The old man frowned, and his words were full of reproach: "Mei Niang, don't forget your identity, you are the eyes we have placed next to the young master." The western suburbs are rich and rival the country, which will inevitably attract the jealousy of others, only by taking the marriage line of the emperor's relatives can we ensure the safety of the western suburbs, and only by marrying the princess of the royal family can we ensure that the wealth of the western suburbs continues, you don't want to fall in love with the young master, miss his life! ”

The tall and thin woman kowtowed again and again: "The lord and the lady have a life-saving grace for Mei Niang, raise Mei Niang, and teach Mei Niang a martial arts mastery, and the subordinates have nothing to repay, and they will fulfill the wish of the second elder!" ”

"If you have this heart, go down." The old woman said with a displeased expression.

Li Junqi and Ziyu jumped and hurriedly disappeared in front of the window before Mei Niang came out.

The two men hid in a wooded area behind the pavilion.

Ziyu recalled the scene just now, and sighed: "Hey, I didn't expect that the majestic young master of the city lord would face the helplessness of being forced to marry by his parents. There is also that Mei Niang, thin and tall, not very beautiful, and her voice is even rougher and ugly, even if she likes the young master, I am afraid that she will not be favored and pitied by the young master. ”

Li Junqi quietly looked at the silent night, his eyes flickered with his thoughts about Tang Anxia, and he said slowly: "The old lady should have recognized this, so she put Mei Niang by Xixue's side and stared at him." It's a pity that I don't know where the love started, I fell in love, when Mei Niang just kowtowed, she held back tears in her eyes, she was moved by Xixue's true feelings. ”

"There is only one level of love words in this world, and it is too difficult." Ziyu couldn't help but sigh.

Li Junqi put away his eyes that looked like the sacred pond water on the top of the Tianshan Mountain, turned around and walked towards the pavilion: "Let's go, let's follow Mei Niang, and we can know where Xixue lives." ”

Mei Niang left the attic of the lord and the lady, standing alone in the pavilion and crying for a long time, tears like pearls with broken threads, falling to the ground one by one, she has lived in the 'city lord's hall' since she was a child, and she no longer knows who her biological mother and father are, only that the old lady bought her back.

However, the old lady did not let her be a slave and maid to do drudgery, but taught her martial arts and taught her the rules. One day, when Master Xixue became the lord of this western suburban city, the old lady rewarded her to Xixue and became a maid who served Xixue closely.

Mei Niang knew that she was mediocre in appearance, and she had no skills, and she was not worthy of the picturesque appearance, such as the noble young master of the snow lotus on Kunlun Mountain, so she could only silently hide her admiration and love for him in her heart, and she did not dare to be noticed by the world, nor could she be noticed by anyone.

She thought that as long as she guarded him silently like this, her life would be excellent.

However, in order to consolidate the status of the western suburbs of the city, and for the glory and wealth of the city lord's palace, the lord and his wife actually asked Young Master Xixue to marry Princess Yue, climb to the imperial city as a concubine, or let Princess Yue marry in the western suburbs.

The young master refused, and the master and the lady asked Mei Niang to persuade him in every possible way.

Mei Niang's heart hurts like a knife, who wants to push her beloved into the arms of another woman? Who wants to watch their loved one have fun with another woman?

Fortunately, the young master rejected Mei Niang's kindness several times, giving Mei Niang's heart a little relief.

She thought, just stay by the young master's side, one more day with him, more joy, one more day with him, one more good memory, just accompany him like this, for a long time.

I don't know which day, the young master will become someone else's husband, she is still the maid of the city lord's hall, at that time, she may really not fall in love with anyone anymore, and she may really become a cold-blooded and ruthless killer, dedicated to protecting herself. Maybe the lord and the lady are still alive, and in order to repay their nurturing kindness, they live only for their families. But when love dies, it will never come back to life.

Mei Niang thinks about her life, it is really bumpy, she has never done anything bad, she has never harmed anyone, for any weak person, she can help her, she will really help once, I don't know why, the love road will be so bumpy.

In any case, her young master is her love. Without the young master by her side, she no longer believes in any man in this world, and would rather be lonely for the rest of her life than find someone who has no affection to barely survive and wash her face with tears.

Mei Niang thought as she came to the attic on the south side, where her young master lived.

The attic has two floors, the first floor is the young master's study, and the second floor is the young master's residence. Of the three rooms next to the study, one is Mei Niang's, and the other two rooms are Dahan with brute force and black crow, a master with a sword. There were also wings inhabited by servants and maidservants.

The young master likes to be clean, and on weekdays, no one is allowed to enter the second-floor residence without permission.

Mei Niang misses him, misses him and is about to go crazy.

That feeling is that I can't wait to see it right away, especially after being wronged by the lord and the lady, I miss her young master even more.

Mei Niang secretly went up to the second floor of the small building, seeing that the light in the young master's room was still on, Mei Niang's heart was nervous and pounding, she quietly walked to the window, and looked inside through the small gap between the windows.

The young master is bathing and changing......

Mei Niang was so stunned by the scene in front of her that she didn't notice that the two people who were following her had successfully sneaked into the room.

She only cared about her own sadness, and only cared about admiring the young master's face, but she forgot to notice the breath around her.

Li Junqi and Ziyu successfully entered Xixue's room, and the two of them noticed that this young master Xixue was really full of personality, and he didn't even allow slaves and maids to take a bath, and the second floor was sparsely populated and extremely quiet.

The layout of the room is relatively empty, with a simple bed in the corner, a large picture of smoke and rain hanging on the west wall, many antiques on the long table on the east side, white marble pillars standing in the four corners of the room, and several swords with gilded scabbards on a large pear marble case on the south side.

Li Junqi and Ziyu held their breath and looked for clues at random to see if they could find anything.

The books are all leisurely and elegant, military books and military arts, and there are no codes or anything like that.

The weapons are also expensive and delicate, and some are set up with hidden weapons, but they do not transmit any signal.

Li Junqi walked to the smoke and rain picture on the west wall, and carefully looked at this valuable picture, in which the water trickled, passing through the mountains, reefs and shoals, and converging into the turbulent rivers and seas, and finally tended to calm down. In the middle of the current, there are waves that seem like fish jumping on the water, and there is a golden carp, which shows the uniqueness of the whole painting.

Li Junqi raised his hand and pressed the position of the carp, only to see that a piece of wall under the scroll was touched by a mechanism, and suddenly pushed outward, and a cassette appeared in front of him.

Ziyu hurriedly ran over and said in surprise: "It turns out that the secret is in the secret box!" ”

I couldn't help but admire: "Your Highness, you are so smart, how do you know that there is a mechanism here!" ”

Li Junqi pointed to the carp on the painting and confidently hooked the corners of his lips: "This painting, I saw it in a book scroll in Prince Wen's mansion, and there was no flying fish in the original painting." Although I don't know if this picture of Xixue is true or false, this flying fish really shouldn't exist, but the mystery lies. ”

"I see, so press the position of the fish, and the switch can be turned off, and the craftsman is really amazing, he actually hid the cassette in the wall under the picture scroll, and he can really come up with it!"

Li Junqi squatted down and found that there were two wooden boxes in the cassette, and when he opened one of the wooden boxes, it was full of gold, silver and jewelry, and it was expensive things that Li Junqi had never seen before.

Ziyu pinched up a piece of treasure jade and sighed: "This box is priceless, and I cherish the snow and leave a way back for myself, I am afraid that I will not be able to be the city lord one day, with this treasure chest, I can also guarantee a lifetime of wealth." ”

Li Junqi put the box full of treasures back, opened another small box, and there were a few letters inside, which looked like family letters, and the black calligraphy on them read: Secret Letter.

"That's what we're looking for!" Ziyu's eyes flashed with pride.

Li Junqi estimated this hour, and Xixue was afraid that she would come back after washing, so she handed the letter to Ziyu and put it in her cuffs, put the small wooden box back, pressed the position of the carp, closed the mechanism, and retreated to the inside of the wall.

Li Junqi and Ziyu looked at each other knowingly, and the two of them flew away along the back window, disappearing into the endless night sky in an instant.

Back at the inn, according to Li Junqi's request, the shopkeeper had already disposed of the corpses in the room, cleaned the ground, replaced the new bedding, and sent someone to repair the doors and windows.

Ziyu checked around and found that there was nothing unusual, so he was relieved.

"The shop is very clean and neat, Your Highness can rest assured." Ziyu poured a glass of water, drank it all and said, and then poured another glass for Li Junqi, placed it in front of him, and handed him the letter in the cuff.

Li Junqi took two sips, opened a letter after letter, and was taken aback when he saw the contents on the black and white paper.

Ziyu curiously took a random letter, fixed his eyes on the end from the beginning to the end, and was so stunned that he couldn't speak for a long time, and after a moment, he was stunned: "This is a secret letter written by the second prince to the city lord of the western suburbs?!" ”

Li Junqi nodded, put the letters back in the envelope in turn, and said slowly: "The western suburbs are rich and rival the country, and they are supported by strong financial resources, no matter which prince of the imperial city, if they are blessed by the western suburbs, it will definitely be a big help." I didn't expect the second prince, who was far away on the border, to strike first. It is rumored that the second prince cares about the people, is dedicated to eliminating violence and peace, and has been fighting on the border for many years, defending the country, but he never thought that he was ready to move on the throne and coveted it for many years. ”

Ziyu collected these letterheads on his body as a treasure, and said thoughtfully: "There are not many heirs of the emperor, only three princes, the eldest prince has just gone to the northwest fiefdom, and there is only one little prince in the imperial city who is young and ignorant, and will become a puppet of Lund, and the second prince has royal blood flowing in his body, as a dragon son, how can he be indifferent to the throne?" ”

"That's right." Li Junqi shook the teacup in his hand elegantly, took a few more sips, and his ebony black pupils flashed with a faint light, "Our goal is to get rid of the prime minister, and we are destined not to support the little prince, as for the eldest prince and the second prince, there is always one who wants to become the next emperor." In this way, it is also time for us to stand in line with Prince Wen's Mansion.

If the wrong master is chosen, the time when the other ascends the throne will be the time of the enemy's death. If you choose the right master, whether it is Prince Wen's Mansion or the General's Mansion in the future, you will be safe and sound, and you will enjoy endless glory, wealth and supreme status. ”

Ziyu naturally agreed, but his face was embarrassed, and he said worriedly: "Your Highness, the General's Mansion must be obedient to the Great Prince!" In order to save the Tang family's life, Li Mu was willing to go to the northwest fiefdom, and Tang Zhentian was even more loyal to him now! ”

"Li Mu doesn't leave, as soon as the Tang family dies, Li Mu is destined to die in the imperial city, and the emperor's next step will be to completely collapse Li Mu's power, because the emperor is already afraid of him and beware of him, without the Tang family's move, Li Mu will not be able to gain a foothold in the imperial city. It can't be simply said that it is for the Tang family to be the king of the northwest.

Our Prince Wen's Mansion is different from the Tang family, I protect the Tang family, just for Anxia, not for the General's Mansion and Tang Zhentian, only if we win the bet on the next emperor, can we protect the Anxia family. Otherwise, the Tang family and Prince Wen's mansion will face the catastrophe of annihilation, becoming a king and defeating the emperor, and there will inevitably be countless sacrifices in the battle for the emperor. ”

Ziyu stared at Li Junqi's careful calculation, and asked curiously: "So, did Your Highness decide to assist the second prince?" ”

Li Junqi didn't answer immediately, he lowered his eyes, the night breeze blew, and the silky hair on his forehead fluttered gently.
