Xiao Xiao took the black horsewhip, looked at the tassel on the tip of the whip and the pendant at the handle, and couldn't help but be moved.

"Then you'll use mine first." walked to Huzi's side and took the horsewhip that he had used for many years, and handed it to Ji Zeyu.

Ji Zeyu took it, shook the whip in his hand, and said with a smile: "Cheng, just give me a gift from you." Let's go, it's not too early. ”

Xiao Xiao nodded, and suddenly stretched out his arms and hugged Ji Zeyu.

The two are of similar height, they are both very tall, and they are moved by Ji Zeyu's brotherhood towards him, and the hand holding Ji Zeyu's whip gently slapped Ji Zeyu's back twice.

Ji Zeyu was stunned for a moment, and then slowly raised his hand and hugged Xiao Xiao back, and then a warm smile that couldn't be hidden in Peach Blossom's eyes came out.

"Good brother, when I come back, let's have a drink."

"Okay, if you don't get drunk when the time comes, you won't return." Ji Zeyu pounded the shoulders of the owl.

Xiao Xiao laughed, hugged Ji Zeyu heavily, and then turned back to the horse, and raised his hand to Ji Zeyu in high spirits, "Let's go." ”

Ji Zeyu took the whip of the owl, led the silver-white sweaty horse back a few steps, and gave way to the road.

Everyone in the Jinghu Guard followed behind Xiao Xiao, and the horse crossed Ji Zeyu's side, and soon disappeared into the distance.

Only then did Ji Zeyu clench the whip that Xiao Xiao gave him, returned to his expressionless appearance, turned over on the horse, and urged the horse to go back to the capital.

He did not immediately return to his own Horse Mansion, but went to the Qin family first. But because he was worried that there were spies guarding around the Qin family, he didn't dare to show his face, but just glanced at it from a distance.

As soon as he turned a corner from the alley, he saw from a distance that the end of the alley was facing the direction of the Qin family's gate, and a team of people seemed to stop slowly.

The leader rode on a tall horse of maroon, dressed in a large mink and a warm hat trimmed with mink, and dismounted in the service of a groveling man in an iron-gray cotton robe.

Almost although the distance was very far, Ji Zeyu still saw clearly that the person who came was none other than the emperor Li Qitian, who should be at the top of the temple in the palace!

Ji Zeyu hurriedly dismounted, hid sideways on the wall and only carefully observed, but frowned tightly because of worry.

At this time, Li Qitian was standing in front of the Qin family with a gloomy face. Li Guanwen and the imperial guards were all panicked, and carefully guarded them in front and back, left and right.

I went to the palace of Prince Zhongshun just now, and I was empty, and there were only people left in the house, and my grandfather and his wife said that they went out early in the morning, and went to relatives with their baggage, and they didn't know when they would come back.

Why is it so coincidental that a string of relatives went out? He hasn't known Xiao Xiao for a day, where do their Yao family and Xiao family have relatives to string? It's clear that he wants to tease him!

Okay, well, since you are talking about string relatives, isn't the Qin family's biggest in-law the Qin family? He wanted to see how the Qin family reacted! If Qin Huaiyuan really dared to cover up his private hiding as he guessed, then everything would be up to him!

Li Qitian, who was angry, had lost his mind, and ordered in a deep voice: "Go and call the door." ”

The attendant guards did not dare to slack off, and immediately responded, and walked quickly to knock on the door.

Menzi answered the door very quickly, but when he saw that the group of people standing in front of the door were not good, he was nervous for a while, and he didn't know what to do: "Everyone, this is the Qin Mansion, how many of you are?" ”

Li Qitian stood with his hands in his hands, silent.

Li Guanwen glanced back at Li Qitian, now in this situation, do you want to show your identity? The saint didn't say anything, but it was really embarrassing for the dead!

Slandering in his heart, Li Guanwen had no choice but to figure out the thoughts of the saint, and said: "Your guest is coming, go and invite your master to come out." ”

Menzi looked at the white-faced but richly dressed man in front of him suspiciously, and then looked at the rich middle-aged man with a sinking face, as if he was suppressing his anger, and couldn't help but nod and said, "The villain will go." ”

He didn't dare to hesitate as he spoke, and hurriedly turned around and rushed into the house.

Compared with the subordinates of the Prince of Zhongshun's mansion, the subordinates of the Qin family obviously know more about etiquette and enthusiasm.

Li Qitian had a cold face, and seeing that the other party was so nervous about him, he felt a little better.

But even so, there is still no way to vent the depression in my heart. He had already ordered someone to recover the owl. Once he can't catch it back, he can't guarantee whether he will be angry or not.

In short, now we have to take a look at Qin Huaiyuan's attitude.

But in a moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the house, and then the door opened, and Qin Huaiyuan, who was wearing a half-new dark blue cocoon silk gown, stood inside the door, and when he saw someone outside the door, he immediately bluffed and pushed the gold mountain and poured the jade pillar to kowtow on the spot.

Seeing this, Li Qitian did not stop him, and accepted his salute with his hand.

Qin Huaiyuan saw that Li Qitian was in civilian clothes, so he didn't dare to call him, but said, "Please come inside." ”

Although the subordinates beside him didn't know Li Qitian's identity, looking at Qin Huaiyuan's attitude, they knew that the visitors must be honorable, and no one dared to be the slightest slack, so they hurriedly went to tidy up the front hall and prepare refreshments.

When he entered the house, Li Qitian hesitated slightly, but still ordered the guards to guard outside the door, and only brought Li Guanwen into the house.

Qin Huaiyuan also knew how to let the servants and maids come in and disturb them.

After Li Qitian sat down, Qin Huaiyuan knelt down again and bowed, and then dared to say: "The Holy Lord is coming to the cold house, and the Weichen has missed the welcome, I hope to ask the Holy Lord for forgiveness." ”

Li Qitian pursed his lips and stared at Qin Huaiyuan, and said in a deep voice: "Qin Aiqing, do you know why I came?" ”

Qin Huaiyuan knelt upright, his eyes were confused when he heard the words, and then he pondered for a moment, and said: "I think that the Holy Lord came here because he was sympathetic to the subordinates, and the Holy Lord valued it so much, and the ministers ......."

"Shut up!" Li Qitian slammed the table angrily, leaned over and gritted his teeth: "Do you want to make a ghost in front of me?" You know why I'm here, but you're pretending to be stupid, aren't you? Qin Aiqing, I have always valued your talents, and I have never embarrassed you because of your status as a subordinate, and this is how you repay me now, huh? ”

Qin Huaiyuan's face was pale when he was spoken, and he kowtowed eagerly: "The Holy One is angry!" The meaning of the saint, Wei Chen does not understand, the saint has something to tell the minister, just open his mouth, the minister will do his best to do it, the minister also knows the grace of the saint to the minister, has always been serious and conscientious, the minister does not dare to disobey the meaning of the saint! ”

"As you can justify, I ask you, do you know about Xiao Zhixi's departure from the capital?"

Li Qitian stared at Qin Huaiyuan's face, not wanting to let go of any of his expressions.

Qin Huaiyuan's eyes widened in astonishment, and he said in disbelief: "What does the Holy Lord mean is that Prince Zhongshun has left the capital?" The Holy One didn't tell him to do an errand, he ......"

Li Qitian didn't answer, he still stared at Qin Huaiyuan, as if he wanted to force Qin Huaiyuan to tell the truth by himself.
