In the next few days, I followed Shen Fengyue all the way north, but the itinerary was not in a hurry at all, as if I was traveling.

From the fourth day of the Lunar New Year to the tenth day of today's Lunar New Year, we passed through many towns along the way. Because it is the New Year, there is a lot of joy everywhere. Although the way to celebrate the New Year varies from place to place, I also had a preliminary understanding of the customs of Nanli, and I also tasted a lot of local New Year's food, and I was in a happier mood than ever.

And Shen Fengyue really fulfilled her promise, and along the way, she never saw a single arrest document. I didn't expect that he, a foreigner, could influence the implementation of the Nanli decree, so the emperor His Majesty who he assisted may not be as ridiculous as rumored.

Although I had a guess, I didn't want to ask, after all, it had nothing to do with me, and I didn't want to complicate the relationship between me and Shen Fengyue.

After dinner, move on. I was slowly eating the small snacks sent by Shen Fengyue in the carriage, and looked out the window boredly.

"I'll be in Shengjing tomorrow morning." Shen Fengyue's casual words made me prepare to send snacks to my mouth.

I put down my snack and became serious: "Sheng Jing? Why pass through Shengjing? As far as I know, there are closer routes to the north. ”

He sneered and turned to look at me. "What, afraid of being captured by that man?" He picked up the snacks that I had just put back in the box, but he didn't eat them. "Now that you have followed me, there is no need to fear or hide from me. Even you and I are face to face with that person, and he is the one who should hide. He handed me the refreshment. So you should eat, you should drink, and you should not bother. ”

I took the snack and let out an "oh".

When we arrived at Shengjing City, it was already the evening of the next day, and the carriage stopped at Dongshi, the most prosperous city in Shengjing. I wondered, "Aren't you an envoy?" Emperor Nanli didn't arrange a post house for you? ”

Shen Fengyue smiled evilly. "What's there to live in the inn?"

As we spoke, he and I got out of the carriage.

"How can the post house compare to the spring brocade building of this warbler and Yanyan?" Before Shen Fengyue's words fell, half of the old twisted their waists to meet them. "Eh! Shen Gongzi, you really haven't been here for a few days, please come inside! ”

I saw this formation and petrified on the spot. This, this, this...... This Chunjin Tower is the legendary ...... Qinglou!?

So Shen Fengyue doesn't live in an inn or a post house, but he wants to live in this green building!? I thought the rumors in the world were all false, but I didn't expect it to be true!?

In a daze, I had already been dragged into this Chunjin Building by Shen Fengyue. When he entered the building, he did not go upstairs, but walked straight through the lobby towards the innermost part of the hall on the first floor.

Along the way, when many Qinglou girls saw Shen Fengyue, they all took their cigarettes and looked at each other, and saluted respectfully. But Shen Fengyue ignored it.

I was stunned for a while, and I didn't react until Shen Fengyue came out of the back door of the main building with me. "Shen Fengyue, you, you, you...... Are you sure you want to stay here? ”

"Can't you?" He smiled playfully, but he still pulled me on. Behind the main building is a three-hall courtyard, which seems to be the residence of turtle slaves and maids.

Seeing that I had arrived in the third courtyard, I shook off the hand he had been holding my wrist. "I can't care if you want to be a swinger, and I can't care if you want to be a regular guest in the Qinglou, but I'm a girl's family, how can I live in this Qinglou!?"

He snorted. "Who said they were going to live in the Green House?" As soon as he finished speaking, he heard an inconspicuous small wooden door in the corner of the courtyard "creak" and was pushed open. Behind the door stood a young man, who was so small that he could only hunch his body. He bowed respectfully. "Childe."

"Hmm." Shen Fengyue casually responded and pulled me towards the wooden door.

The man stepped sideways to the side of the door and ushered the two of us through the door.

I glanced at the inside of the door but was stunned: I didn't expect that there was only a wall separating it, but it was like a change of heaven and earth.

There was a big pond in the courtyard in front of me, oh no, the whole courtyard was built on top of it. The three of us are now standing under the outermost wooden corridor of the courtyard, which is about two meters wide and circles the courtyard. There is also a wooden corridor in the courtyard to connect the rooms and the small pavilion in the courtyard. It seems that the wooden corridor is the only road through this pond courtyard. I don't know what kind of special treatment has been done in the pond, and it has not frozen at all in this New Year.

I was still watching in amazement, caught off guard by a pain in my forehead. "Little fool." Shen Fengyue's words were full of amusement, but she suddenly turned to the young man. "??, you go to the main gate to pick up Rin and Shen."

"Yes."?? Leave in response.

"Main entrance"? Only then did I realize that we were now in another mansion that was completely separate from Chunjin Building. It's just that this house and the courtyard of Chunjin Tower were built back to back, and I don't know who opened a small door on the wall of this courtyard, which connected the two very different courtyards.

Shen Fengyue turned around and closed the door. I only heard a "click", the wooden door closed, and then there was a sound of machine transmission. My eyes widened: this is not controlled by the mechanism! And it is hidden among the dead vines, very hidden.

I sneered. "Unexpectedly, for the sake of convenience and enjoyment, Shen Gongzi actually bought the mansion behind Chunjin Building, and took great pains to repair such a door. But your door can only be opened from the courtyard here, if no one comes to open the door for your son, won't you really have to stay in the Qinglou? ”

He ignored my ridicule, but instead showed great relief: "You little fool can see it clearly this time, it's really rare!" Go, come with me to your dwellings. ”

I thought that Shen Fengyue's mansion was built on the water only because of the courtyard, but I didn't think that other courtyards were also built on the pond without exception. Compared to the original construction of this house, it must have taken a lot of effort.

The Shen Mansion is a big mansion, and he took me for a long time before finally leading me to the accommodation arranged for me. The courtyard is very different from other courtyards because it has a four-storey pavilion.

Recently, I have been to many places in Nanli, so I know that four-story buildings are rare in Nanli country. Shen Fengyue's foreigner, who has enough mansions in the neighboring capital, even built this high-rise building in such a high-profile way?! I couldn't help but be speechless.

Shen Fengyue pointed at the pavilion and said, "Well, this is where you have lived in the past two days." I went in and looked, and I was not satisfied. ”

I glanced at him, didn't talk nonsense, and walked closer.

Pushing open the wooden door of the pavilion, what catches your eye is actually rows of tall bookshelves, on which are neatly placed all kinds of books, some are thread-bound books, and some are bamboo slips and cloth scrolls.

"This ...... It's ......" I was a little stunned.

"This is Ben Gongzi's library." Shen Fengyue said lightly, and there was no hint of showing off in her tone.

I was a little surprised. "Four floors, all of them?"

"Not bad."

"Then you want me to live in this library? Why? ”

There are so many courtyards, why do you let me live here?

"Remember what I owe me?" Shen Fengyue was the first to step into the building, and I followed him in. Suddenly, the unique smell of the scroll greeted me, and it turned out that this was the real bookish atmosphere. "If you want to pay it back, let's start with this library." He added.

"Okay." I answered, knowing that he had something for me to do. "What's the law?"

He looked sideways at me. "Help me find a book."

"What book?"

"A book of Taoism."

Road? Suddenly, the figure of Xiu Li appeared in my mind.

"Can you be specific?" Such a large-scale library is only known to be related to the Tao, and I am afraid that it will take ten days and half a month to find it.

He was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about how to phrase it, and then said quietly: "One of my ...... Old friend...... She has fallen into a Dao method, and she has forgotten all about it, and all you have to do is find a way to crack it in this building. He said this with some effort.

My brain was racing and I thought it must be something that was going on. "Are you sure there's a way to crack it here?" I asked.

"Not sure." His voice was a little muffled. "But the books in this building are all from me who I searched for this matter. I've read the books on the first floor, so I don't know much about it, you can start on the second floor. ”

Hearing him say this, I suddenly had a certain guess in my mind, but I still forced myself to say nothing.

I saw that his expression was depressed, so I couldn't help but tease him: "Shen Fengyue, looking at the way you were spitting just now, that person shouldn't be your sweetheart, right?" I dragged out my tone and put on a gossip look.

I didn't mean to make fun of him, but I didn't want him to suddenly look at me when I said this, but I hurriedly avoided it the moment my eyes met me, as if I had broken my heart with a word.

I couldn't help laughing, this was the first time I saw an embarrassed expression on Shen Fengyue's face, where could I easily let him go? So he involuntarily grabbed his arm, and continued to tease him: "Oh, Shen Gongzi, according to what you just said, that girl must have forgotten about you, right?" But why do you use such a thankless way to get her to remember you again? With your appearance and posture, wouldn't it be okay to pursue her again? How? "I smacked him with my arm." Not confident? I'm not confident I'll help you! ”

He shook me off and walked straight up the stairs. I could feel that he was a little embarrassed by this. Cut! That's angry?!

"Keep up." His voice was a little cold.

"Oh." Forget it, since they've annoyed people, I'd better settle down.

I followed Shen Fengyue directly to the fourth floor. There are no books on the fourth floor, but a place to live.

"You live here temporarily for the next few days, and when I finish the matter of Shengjing, I will take you back to the north and leave." In just a few moments, his mood was back to normal.

"There are so many books here, and we haven't been here for long, why do you want me to look for them?" I'm a little weird.

He walked to the window and replied, "There is also such a library in the north of Beijing. The books and their placement are generally the same here, and you can continue to look for them when you return to Beijing. ”

"Okay then." I answered, and involuntarily walked to the window and stood side by side with him.

Standing on these four floors, you can see the city of Shengjing East and even beyond, but now the sky is getting dark, and everything is in the thick twilight.

I withdrew my gaze from the distance and cast my gaze instead on the nearest three-story building. Because of the proximity, I could even faintly hear the people on the other side of the building, but it was too noisy.

Looking through the windows, I could clearly see the figures in each room, and it was difficult to separate. Even the official waist cards scattered on the floor of a room on the third floor directly below could be seen clearly.

There is no doubt that the building is the Qinglou Chunjin Building. It's just that Shen Fengyue built such a high-rise building in such a special location, I'm afraid his intention is not pure.

Looking at history in the past, Qinglou is not just a sound and color field. Dignitaries and even relatives of the emperor may be mixed here, so Qinglou has become an important intelligence agency from a very early stage......

Thinking of this, combined with Fang Cai's speculation, I suddenly understood why Shen Fengyue, as a person from Beili, could easily suppress my arrest documents. He, and even the emperor he assisted, must not be as simple as the world thinks.

"Guessed what? Just talk. Shen Fengyue's tone was very relaxed, and her eyes were still staring out the window.
