The woman stepped into the house in the night, and as soon as she entered, she entered Du Jixin's bedroom.

The two of them had a good meal. Luan. Pour. Feng, who put the single dog Rayong outside, wanted to go over and slap them ten times.

It finally stopped, and the woman's voice also came: "What's going on, Lord Du, where did they find you?" ”

Rayong's spirit was shocked, and his feet moved forward involuntarily, close to the window.

Then I heard the woman say, "Is this it?" Oh no, it has to be here? Is this it, Lord Du? ”

Du Jixin let out an extremely lewd laugh in the room, and he should have made some small movements, and then there was a low laugh and trivial sounds in the room.

The hunter Rayong was really about to go crazy, he was holding a knife as thin as a cicada's wings in his hand, which could shoot in through the window and directly kill Du Jixin.

It is also possible to kill that woman.

When he was hesitating whether to do this, he heard Du Jixin inside speak: "I heard that someone was sent out to cast a net everywhere, but unfortunately, Ling Lao had already taken back the line here, and they didn't want to find anything." ”

The woman let out another low chuckle and whispered, "You are also Ling Lao's line." ”

Du Jixin's smile was not good, and it became extremely embarrassing: "Where am I, I'm just a dog, just be obedient and do things, I don't know anything else." You don't know me yet, the courage is just a little big, the success is insufficient, and the failure is even more insufficient, so please rest assured. ”

The woman smiled again, and the two of them rolled into the quilt together.

About a pillar of incense passed, and the lights in the room went out, but the door opened from the inside.

The woman, dressed up, came out of the house and went straight to the gate.

Du Jixin did not come out to see her off, nor did he speak again.

Rayong walked lightly and quickly, followed her out of the Du Mansion, hurriedly left a mark in the corner, and followed the woman all the way.

Here, Zhuang Siyan and the others quickly did not receive his signal, and sent someone to Du Jixin's room to wake up.

The man was dead, bleeding all over the bed, his eyes wide, looking in an unknown direction.

Zhuang Siyan didn't think about it, and immediately called Qing Ran and said, "There are people guarding the city gate, you can rush there and answer Rayong." ”

She also hurried back to the house, and Ling Tiancheng was waiting for her at the door and asked, "Is Du Jixin dead?" ”

Zhuang Siyan was stunned for a moment: "How do you know?" ”

The masseter muscles on Ling Tiancheng's face tensed, and his voice was mixed with coldness: "He was originally a useless person, and when those people ran out, naturally they wouldn't keep him anymore." ”

Zhuang Siyan was still puzzled: "But he can't do anything while he is alive, we tossed like the prefect before, and he didn't say a word." ”

"How can a living man be trusted by a dead man?" Ling Tiancheng responded to this sentence, he took his gaze back, and when he turned to Zhuang Siyan, the previous coldness melted silently like ice.

"I went out early in the morning, I didn't even have time to eat, come in, I have a snack for you."

Zhuang Siyan followed him in, still a little confused about what Ling Tiancheng was doing, so he turned his head to look at him again.

But he had already picked up a piece of pastry, passed it directly over her hand, handed it to her lips and said, "I haven't washed my hands yet." ”

Zhuang Siyan: "......"

What the hell is this guy fat, that's weird, right?

She thought to herself, but asked duplicitously, "Have you eaten it?" ”

Ling Tiancheng said "um": "I've eaten, I originally wanted to wait for you to join me, but unfortunately I'm a little hungry." ”

Zhuang Siyan: "......"

This is especially Ye Yuanpei's possession, how do you look at it, it doesn't look like Ling Tiancheng.

In Zhuang Siyan's impression, Ling Tiancheng relied on others to shout when he ate, and the words in the palace called the eunuch to pass the meal.

If no one called him, he might be busy with things all day, and he couldn't remember that there was such a thing as eating, of course, remembering that Zhuang Siyan was eating was another matter.

It was so strange that he would never seem to be hungry, and suddenly say such a sentence.

It's a pity that Zhuang Siyan didn't have time to think about his changes, and news came from outside, saying that Qingran and they had gone all the way west and had entered the mountain.

Ling Tiancheng immediately stood up and instructed outward, "Pass Bai Heng and ask him to bring someone to follow, but don't follow too closely." ”

Zhuang Siyan also put back the pastry in his hand, and dragged Ling Tiancheng away: "Let's go and have a look." ”

Ling Tiancheng looked back at the food on his plate: "Don't worry, everything is arranged outside, you can eat first." ”

Zhuang Siyan was in a hurry, and he couldn't screw him, so he had to eat a piece of pastry in two or three bites.

She was so anxious that she almost vomited again.

Ling Tiancheng handed her a glass of water beside him.

After this glass of water, Zhuang Siyan still wanted to pull him out, but he didn't need any strength.

She looked at Ling Tiancheng strangely and asked, "What kind of medicine did you give me?" ”

"Rest, you get a good night's sleep, and we'll be back when we wake up." After Ling Tiancheng finished speaking, he shouted outside.

Zhuang Siyan didn't even see who came in, so he closed his eyes first.

Before closing her eyes, she was still thinking, damn, she has been researching these drugs and the like recently, but she doesn't want others to get her hands on it first, she is really depressed.

Ling Tiancheng put her back on the bed, covered her with a thin quilt, and left the two Qing brothers, as well as a few internal guards, including Xu Ning, who were all here.

He himself led a horse in the courtyard, jumped on it, and went out of the city.

Rayong followed the woman, leaving marks along the way.

Qing Ran and the others followed his mark forward, and then they left the mark for Bai Heng and them.

By the time Ling Tiancheng caught up with them, Bai Heng's people had already arrived at the dirt pit they had been to that day, but unfortunately, the person inside had also become a white bone.

He glanced roughly ahead, and said: "The forest here is dense, and the road is not easy to walk, although there are people in front of you who have followed and made marks, but it is difficult to ensure that it is not a trap, so you must be more careful, do not rush in, and carefully look at the surrounding environment." ”

Bai Heng took the order, spread his people as far apart as possible, and observed as he walked forward.

But Ling Tiancheng didn't follow them all the way, but went down the other side into the deep mountains.

The last time they were in the woods for three days, they went not close to the west, but they found nothing, and now Rayong and they went north with them, so he went south to look.

The south side is yang, and the plants are denser than in other places.

At first, the horses were able to walk in it, but they only climbed halfway up the mountain, and it was difficult to climb again.

There were vines that were entwined all over the place, stumbling on their feet from time to time, and they tripped the horse several times, so Ling Tiancheng had to give up on it and continue walking with his four inner guards.

They did not speak all the way, and their steps were very light, but they watched everything in the forest carefully, and even stopped for a while to observe the rise and fall of the birds.

There was no trace of anyone on this road, it seemed to be barren and uninhabited, but Ling Tiancheng had a very strange feeling, as if someone was waiting for him not far away.

From the west, we climbed a small hill that was not very high, and we reached the south side.

There is also a hill to the south, and there are many trees that seem to be next to each other, and there are vine-like plants on the ground, which were just ordinary vines before, but they become thorny ones in the back.

The thorns were so sharp that they could cut through the flesh through the clothes.

Ling Tiancheng and the others had to be very careful, every step they took out, they had to find a place to settle down next.

Rao is like this, there are still many holes in the clothes that are not too thick in the summer, and before the person reaches the top of the mountain, the torn clothes will float with the wind.

Only Ling Tiancheng still maintained his usual image, well-dressed and cold-looking.

He had a very cold face, and the expression on that face was usually either indifferent or cold, and the people around him had done nothing wrong, as long as they were around him, under his nose, there would be a lot of fear out of thin air.

Only when facing Zhuang Siyan would that cold expression be unconsciously put away, and he carefully put it away, refusing to show it at all, for fear that the little kindness he had worked hard to get would make her dislike it again.

No one knew what an emperor would think like this in his heart, and no one knew Ling Tiancheng's feelings when facing Zhuang Siyan.

The common people of the entire Dasheng Dynasty only knew that the emperor favored Concubine Wan very much, and Concubine Wan was pampered and coquettish, and did not accept his kindness.

Thinking of this, Ling Tiancheng's face unconsciously brought a trace of loneliness.

Everyone in the world knows that he dotes on her and loves her, only she doesn't know.

Or they know it, but they don't know it.

Those childhood memories have gradually thinned in the past two years of their relationship, and Zhuang Siyan no longer has past feelings for Jia Mingyuan.

But she is still her, and she doesn't favor anyone because of this, preferring to travel all year round.

The mountain wind swept the branches in the forest, making a "rustling" sound, and a large internal guard who was close to him whispered: "Master, there is a situation ahead." ”

Ling Tiancheng's mind was instantly pulled back, his eyes were like torches, he quickly glanced ahead, and his figure flashed and disappeared behind a nearby tree.

Directly in front of them, a figure walked by.

The distance was a little far away, and I couldn't see people's faces clearly, and even clothes couldn't be seen clearly, but through the trees and grass leaves, I could still tell that someone was walking quietly from that side.

Ling Tiancheng made a quick gesture, followed by his Ouchi guard, and immediately changed the formation and divided into two squads.

The two chased the figure forward at great speed, while those behind continued to observe their surroundings before following up.

They soon saw the people, not one or two, but in a group, probably a dozen together.

There were men and women, carrying or carrying things in their hands, silently walking along the narrow mountain road.

Judging from the appearance, they look like ordinary poor mountain people, but they are different from mountain people, the most obvious point is that their eyes are relatively dull.

Recently, Zhuang Siyan has been studying these people, and Ling Tiancheng has followed her every day, and has also learned about the process of taking medicine.

So he took a look at it and handed the code to the person in front of him:

"Don't alarm them, just follow them secretly."

At the same time, he sent a man alone, and turned back the way they had taken.
