When Jian Yan left, he left a sentence, "I will come to you again." ”

A fluttering sentence, for some people, there is a kind of weight that cannot be carried. There are some things that there is no excuse to stop when the first step is taken, and even if it is wrong, it must continue to be wrong.

Leaving the house, Jian Yan immediately went to the restaurant, and the son of the Chen family had been waiting for a long time. Now these two people are very close, and they are inseparable wherever they go.

"Where have you been?" Chen Yuntian flicked his sleeves and poured wine for Jian Yan.

Jian Yan sat down and smiled lightly, "I went to see an old friend, but I didn't expect that person to be at home, so I had to come over quickly." ”

"Went to see Zhao Wuwu?" Chen Yuntian asked with a smile.

Speaking of Zhao Wuwu, the smile on the corner of Jian Yan's lips stiffened slightly, and he lowered his head and drank all the wine in the cup, "She is now a first-class person, how can she look down on a nameless person like me." If there was still a little affection earlier, since marrying the county lord and starting a family, I'm afraid it has been different for a long time. Now it's the county horse! ”

Chen Yuntian said with a smile, "Then you are still a concubine, and you are a relative of the emperor than Zhao Wuwu, and you are closer to the emperor." After speaking, Chen Yuntian glanced at the closed door, lowered his voice and said, "By the way, what do you think is going on with the case of the Teaching Workshop Division this time?" ”

Jian Yan sighed, "You didn't kill Hengzhu, and I didn't kill it, what does it matter to us?" There is a Ministry of Etiquette at the head of the Department of Teaching, and there is Zhao Wuwu in the Department of Etiquette. Zhao Wuwu's father is the prime minister of the dynasty, the position of the head of the hundred officials, but not anyone can shake it. Now that he is married to the county lord and has a relationship with the Qi Yu Palace, the power in this court can be said to be like a tiger with wings. ”

Hearing this, Chen Yuntian sneered, "It's a human being who is greedy, how can you be willing to make a wedding dress with someone?" Even if it is the marriage of the Qi You Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion, it is also a transaction between people's hearts and stomachs. ”

Eating with his head down, Jian Yan's eyes were slightly gloomy.

After a pause, Chen Yuntian said again, "By the way, the emperor let my father enter the palace early this morning, it seems that there is a troop transfer." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Jian Yan frowned, "You mean, Daye is going to war against Huanglan?" What does the emperor mean is that he is ready to send troops? ”

Chen Yuntian shook his head thoughtfully, "Not necessarily, if you really want to send troops, it is impossible to be so cautious." When my father left, he was quiet, and he didn't dare to alarm anyone in the court, presumably with other intentions. ”

"What does the emperor want to do?" Jian Yan was puzzled.

Chen Yuntian drank a glass of wine, "You said that this battle, can it be fought?" ”

"It's not good for us to fight or not, instead of arguing about this, it's better to drink well and have fun in time." Jian Yan said with a smile, "We are literati, what we should do is to recite poems against each other, and the wind and snow will be blowing." ”

Chen Yuntian patted his chest, "Let me tell you, this sect is hard to go, but I heard that the girls in the Red Mansion are also first-class, and a few are from southern Xinjiang." Exotic, not to mention how coquettish-. ”

Jian Yan held the cup in his hand, "You mean, barbarian?" ”

"Of course." As soon as Chen Yuntian mentioned those delicate beauties, his eyes immediately lit up, "You don't know, those women are front-convex-back-warped, and they are all stunners." But I haven't been there yet, I've just heard that. ”

Jian Yan frowned, "A barbarian from Southern Xinjiang? ”

"Don't be a barbarian, any woman in this world is a woman, regardless of region. As long as a woman can please a man, that is her ability. Chen Yuntian smiled, "What's the matter, the Red Mansion and his party tonight?" ”

Jian Yan smiled, "Of course, it is to sacrifice your life to accompany the gentleman." ”

"It's also romantic to die under the peony flower, but Brother Jian and the princess are so affectionate, doesn't the princess mind?" Chen Yuntian asked with a smile.

Sighing lightly, Jian Yan took a sip of wine, "Three wives and four concubines are a common thing, she should get used to it." Although she is a princess, she is still very clear about her husband's wife. What's more, she also knew in her heart that no matter whether there was a concubine room or not, the position of her main room was stable. ”

With that, he drank the wine from his glass.

Chen Yuntian chuckled, "That's the same." ”

Looking at it, except for the prime minister of the dynasty who adhered to monogamy, there is no concubine room to fill the house, and the other official men, which one is not three wives and four concubines, and which one is not full of backyards?

Take a look at the emperor's harem, there are batches of beautiful women, and after a while, it is estimated that they will feel that they are not fresh enough and have to be drafted.

"Then it's okay tonight, Brother Jian won't miss the appointment at that time." Chen Yuntian said with a smile.

Jian Yan nodded, and said with a smile, "Don't worry." ”

The so-called southern Xinjiang and northern Xinjiang are after the fall of Tilan, several small countries around it began to split, and then they were divided into north and south, and the southern part of Xinjiang has been swallowed up by the barren land and has become part of the affiliated barren country. The northern frontier is a barren place, as if it has become a forbidden land, and no one dares to easily step into this desert.

Therefore, when it comes to southern Xinjiang now, it is actually a small country affiliated with Tiran earlier. It's just that the history of Tiran is too short to be remembered, and it has been wiped out along with the royal city, so that future generations rarely know about the existence of Tiran, and no one knows where the specific ruins of Tiran are now.

Now that the Butterfly Gu is no longer in Tilan, no one will remember the short-lived place.

————————

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, no matter what happens, what cannot be escaped is extravagance and luxury, especially in Kyoto at night, it is even more peaceful singing and dancing. Everyone forgot about the murder case of the Jiaofang Division earlier, and also forgot the panic and anxiety in the house of Lord Zhong Milling Zhong in the daytime.

Night Kyoto, prosperous and prosperous.

Between pushing the glass and changing the lamp, all you remember is the wine-colored wealth, who still remembers who you are.

Zhao Wuwu stood in the attic of the Teaching Division, and when he opened the window, he could see that the red building only one street away was crowded with people, and the laughter was really harsh. Not long ago, there was such a bustle in the Teaching Workshop Division.

And now?

There was a murder case in the Teaching Division, and the emperor asked the people of Jinyi Wei to investigate the matter thoroughly, so the Teaching Workshop Division could no longer continue to open the door to do business.

Su Xi walked slowly, followed by the pale Honggu. Sighing lightly, Su Xi glanced at Honggu, "Tell your son yourself!" ”

Honggu knelt down for Zhao Wuwu with a plop, "The son forgives the sin, and the slave and maid suddenly became like this for some reason." Qu Yun was fine before dinner, but after just one meal, he became like this, slave maid, slave maid - please punish the son. ”

"A meal?" Zhao Wuwu looked at the Honggu in front of him faintly, "Honggu, you followed my mother earlier, I see that you are careful in your work, and there are not too many people guarding the Yun'an Temple, so I handed over the Jiaofang Division to you." After so many years, there has been no omission, but this time you made such a fatal mistake, what do you say I should do with you? ”

"Childe?" Honggu's body trembled slightly, and she didn't dare to argue.

Zhao Wuwu sighed lightly, "If there is not a traitor in the sect division, then Qu Yun himself has a problem. ”

Honggu looked up at Zhao Wuwu in shock, "What does Childe mean ......"

As he spoke, Wen Su came from outside, and his expression was a little solemn.

"How?" Zhao Wuwu asked.

Wen shook his head, "The throat bead is no longer good, so it is unlikely that he will be able to speak in this life." If I hadn't come in time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to save my life. ”

"And what about her now?" Su Xi asked hurriedly.

"The situation is not good, and it is still a question whether I can wake up." ”

Zhao Wuwu sighed lightly and walked outside.

In the room, Qu Yun was lying straight on the bed, her face was pale, if it wasn't for Wen Gu hanging her for a breath, it is estimated that she would have seen Lord Yama at this moment. But she's unconscious now, and it's not much different from dead.

Looking at Qu Yun who still had a breath left on the bed, looking back at the food on the table and the black blood on the ground, Zhao Wuwu felt a little irritable in his heart. Her fingertips gently stroked the bone flute in her sleeve, and she wondered what the ultimate goal of this was to be.

Purely for the teaching department to teach a lesson? Want her to be difficult in front of the emperor?

After all, everyone knows that there is a prime minister's mansion above her, which one is full of food and dares to break ground on the head of the prime minister's mansion? It doesn't seem to make sense to think about it.

The sound of footsteps came one after another, accompanied by a figure quickly walking into the house.

Wen was just about to step forward but was held down by Su Xi, and the two immediately fell on Zhao Wuwu's body.

Zhao Wuwu stood there, carefully collected the bone flute, and the corners of his lips slightly pulled a gentle arc, "Lord Zeng." ”

Isn't it Zeng Qian, the commander of the Jinyi Guard?

Although Zhao Wuwu is a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, he is also a young master of the prince and a member of the first rank. That's why he faced Zhao Wuwu, Zeng Qian still had to salute, "The lower official heard that the witness was sick, so he hurried over and disturbed Lord Zhao, please Lord Zhao Haihan." ”

"Lord Zeng is in charge of this, so naturally he has to fulfill his duties." Zhao Wuwu sat down slowly, "The witness is on the bed, Lord Zeng will see it himself!" ”

She didn't explain much, the news was clearly blocked, but how could it still be spread? The reason is very simple, it is still the two aspects that Zhao Wuwu said, either there is a spy or Qu Yun himself...... And no matter what aspect it is, before the truth is found, Zhao Wuwu is the biggest suspect.

This teaching workshop division has always been her Zhao Wuwu's territory.

On his own turf, he can't even look at a witness, so what is it that he doesn't mean to?

Looking at Zeng Qian to probe Qu Yun's snort, and then began to probe Qu Yun's pulse again, Wen really couldn't hold back, and said with extreme displeasure, "Still alive, not dead!" ”

Zeng Qian was stunned for a moment, and looked back at the past, "Who are you?" ”

He recognized Su Xi, but he didn't recognize the fresh face of Wen Shu.

"Doctor!" "This person was poisoned, but fortunately he found it in time, and now he is still breathing, and he can't die for the time being, so you can rest assured!" If it was my son-in-law's hand, I wouldn't have to save people, wouldn't it be a hundred times dead? ”

Zeng Qian smiled coldly, "Maybe it's a thief's bitter plan to catch a thief!" ”

"What did you say?" Reminiscing about this temper.

Su Xi sneered twice, "What Lord Zeng said is very true, maybe our son-in-law didn't think about it for a while, and accidentally killed Lord Zhong in his own teaching department, and accidentally tossed the witness in front of Lord Zeng until he only had one breath left." Lord Zeng is really discerning, presumably in front of the emperor, he will say the same, right? ”

"Bastard, what are you, dare to talk to this official like this! Lord Zhao hasn't opened his mouth yet, which round will you be the speakers of the minions! Zeng Qian was furious.

"Since Master Zeng knows that they are slaves, why are you still angry with the slaves? Aren't you afraid of surrendering your identity? Zhao Wuwu smiled gently, coughed lightly twice and looked at Zeng Qian, who was pale, "Lord Zeng, don't be impatient, this matter is indeed from my sect department, and it is not from my Ministry of Rites." It's just that the official is very curious, does Lord Zeng have clairvoyance and ears? ”

Zeng Qian frowned, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"It's not interesting, it's just that I'm curious, the first time this incident happened, the official had already asked people to block the entire Sect Division." Zhao Wuwu smiled meaningfully, "Lord Zeng was able to learn the news for the first time, it is estimated that there is some unknown talent, right?" ”

"Lord Zhao, don't you hear that there is no impermeable wall in the world. If you walk a lot at night, you will eventually meet ghosts. Zeng Qian's eyes were slightly gloomy.

Zhao Wuwu nodded, "Yes, I still meet a nasty ghost now." Fortunately, I'm a person, evil doesn't invade, and my life is too hard. Rao is this evil cult and cannot do anything to me, otherwise I will surely make him fall into hell forever, and he will never be able to turn over. ”

Zeng Qian took a deep breath, "Dare to ask Lord Zhao, how are you going to deal with this matter now?" ”

"Do you still need to ask me?" Zhao Wuwu got up, brushed his sleeves and walked out, "Lord Zeng, as a pro-army in brocade, should listen to the heavens, whether it is black or white, or listen to the emperor's fate!" ”

"Aren't you afraid that the emperor will blame?" Zeng Qian was cold.

Zhao Wuwu stood on the corridor, looking at the direction of the gate and trying to pout, "See?" Outside this gate are all Jinyiwei's people, and the slaves of the Jiaofang Division and Jinyiwei in this gate have also been checked one by one, and now I'm afraid I'm not the only one who has to be responsible for the accident! ”

Zeng Qian was stunned, and Zhao Wuwu had already stepped down the steps.

Taking a deep breath, Zeng Qian's hand gently pressed on the handle of the embroidered spring knife, following Zhao Wuwu, "Lord Zhao, has you ever thought that maybe this evil is not a ghost-monster, but your sworn enemy?" ”

I was shocked in my heart, but my face was still silent.

Zhao Wuwu suddenly realized one thing, the puzzle that had been puzzled for so long seemed to be solved suddenly. Nemesis? Now she only thinks about the joy and attachment to Mu Baili, but she never thinks that others don't know about it.

In the eyes of everyone, she and him are inseparable enemies, mortal enemies! Therefore, if something happens to the Teaching Workshop Division, in the eyes of everyone, the spearhead can fall on Dongchang as soon as possible.

Gasping for air, Zhao Wuwu suddenly figured out that the murder case of the Jiaofang Division was not actually aimed at her Zhao Wuwu, but towards Dongchang. This is called fighting cattle across the mountain, and it is also called a roundabout strategy.

"Lord Zeng doesn't dare to say this easily, he is now nine thousand years old, he holds the power of Dongchang, and his ears and eyes are all over the world." Zhao Wuwu frowned coldly, "If it reaches his ears, I'm afraid it will cause endless harm." ”

After speaking, Zhao Wuwu left slowly.

When he arrived at the door, looking at the dark night outside, Zhao Wuwu paused slightly.

Although the night is dark, the street lights are excellent. The dim light, the beautiful lanterns, swaying in the wind, and the voices of people in the ears are boiling, which makes people's hearts also impetuous.

Zeng Qian saluted, "The lower officials will let people strictly guard the sect and wait for Miss Qu Yun to wake up." If there is anything wrong with Miss Quyun, the lower officials will immediately report it to the court. If there is any rudeness at that time, I hope that Lord Zhao Haihan will tolerate it. ”

Zhao Wuwu narrowed his eyes, "Doing business is naturally the best." I only hope that Lord Zeng can get rid of his previous suspicions and share his worries for the emperor. ”

The corners of his lips raised slightly, Zeng Qian smiled coldly, and after turning over the horse, he glanced thoughtfully at Zhao Wuwu, who was still standing at the door of the teaching department. There seemed to be other emotions in this look.

However, it was easy to lose his eyes at night, and Zhao Wuwu didn't see it clearly. Watching Zeng Qian lead people away, this came and didn't investigate thoroughly, as if it was just to go through the motions, which was really incomprehensible.

"Childe?" Su Xi whispered, "It's not early, let's go back to Shangshu Mansion and rest early!" ”

"Suxi, I suddenly want to take a walk." She pursed her lips, "Come with me!" ”

Su Xi thought about it, frowned and glanced at Wen Gu, with himself and Wen Gu, it would be fine, so he followed Zhao Wuwu and followed Zhao Wuwu all the way back to Shangshu Mansion.

Zhao Wuwu dressed in white and walked on the streets of the capital where people came and went. Ten miles of long streets, bright lanterns. She looked at the smiles on everyone's faces, and she always felt that there was a layer of skin, so unreal.

In fact, looking back, it is probably because I have been guarding against others for too long, so that when I see those unfamiliar faces, my first reaction is like a hedgehog, erecting sharp thorns all over my body to block all possible dangers.

Jian Yan stood in the Accord of the Red Mansion, opened half of the window, and looked at the white-clothed Shengxue below. She walked very slowly, thinking that her body was not very good, and her whole person looked a little ill. It's so thin that it seems to dissipate as soon as the wind blows.

Holding a cup in his hand, he looked indifferently at the people below.

Her face is always pale, and her expression is always indifferent. He wondered, when would she be able to break out once? Burst out for him, crying or laughing, I wanted that kind of fiery, but I never got it.

His eyes always fell on her, she lowered her head and coughed, she walked forward indifferently, she was happy with the concentric knot on the side of the street, she sat down at the table on the side of the street, and unexpectedly asked for a bowl of ravioli.

Carefully tested for her, and was sure that it was non-toxic before letting her eat it.

It's just a simple bowl of wontons, which made her feel like a treasure. After all, given her origin, she rarely had access to this kind of civilian food. She rarely thinks about what she wants to eat, after all, she eats less.

"It's a nice smile." Jian Yan muttered in a low voice and drank all the wine in the cup.

Behind him, Chen Yuntian's drunken voice came, "What are you doing standing at the window alone?" He burped, "I-I'm going to, I'm going to rest, you and Lilac Girl have a good time, have a good time......

Jian Yan didn't look back, only heard footsteps going out. It is estimated that Chen Yuntian is going to sleep - a woman, when he comes to this Red Mansion, in addition to drinking, he is a woman, what other good things can he do?

Gu Zi stood at the window, and the beautiful woman Ying Ying behind him stepped forward and pressed this extremely soft place on his back. Gentle as water, it is always impossible to refuse. Once you start indulging, you can never go back to square one.

"What is Childe looking at?" Lilac asked with a smile, a pair of bright eyes, staring at the candlelight.

Jian Yan turned her head to look at her, these eyes were very similar to Zhao Wuwu, but they were not like them. Because there has never been such a light in her eyes, with a flattering meaning, it is so gentle that it makes people intoxicated.

In Zhao Wuwu's eyes, he will always be gentle and indifferent, shallow alienation, and will never let people approach easily.

The more this happened, the more he wanted to get closer, and finally he couldn't extricate himself.

Lilac came up, "Childe? ”

Jian Yan stroked her eyebrows with a smile and looked at her intently, "You don't have to take someone else's field in the future, understand?" ”

Lilac was naturally flattered by these words, "Childe means ......" and immediately saluted, "Thank you, Childe." ”

Jian Yan took a deep breath, glanced out the window thoughtfully, and finally raised his hand to close the window. In the gap, the white-clothed Shengxue gradually disappeared from his sight. He felt a throbbing pain in his heart, but the window was still closed.

He stood in front of the window for a long time, so long that even Lilac thought that this Jian Gongzi must have something on his mind.

Suddenly, Jian Yan reopened the window like crazy, and the figure was long gone. She's gone, and in the blink of an eye, she's gone? He should have guessed that she had eaten too little, and with her caution, it was impossible for her to stay in one place for too long.

"What the hell is Childe looking at?" Lilac looked at the people coming and going outside the window, and really couldn't figure out what this Jian Gongzi was looking at? It doesn't look like there's something wrong with Young Master Jian, but why is it so incomprehensible to do things?

"It's nothing, I just think it's a nice night tonight." Closing the window, Jian Yan looked back, gentle as Si, "What does Lilac girl think?" ”

Lilac smiled coquettishly, "What Childe said is extremely true. ”

The swaying red candle is always a spring night and a dream.

After eating a few bites of hot wontons, Zhao Wuwu walked slowly in the direction of Shangshu Mansion. She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had seen the night be so busy, and now it seemed that everything seemed to be fresh.

Wen Gu and Su Xi carefully guarded Zhao Wuwu's ownership, followed by the shadow guard.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived in a dark place, someone suddenly came out and directly dragged Zhao Wuwu into the deep alley. Wen was about to chase after him, but was immediately stopped by Su Xi, immediately looked around, and then lowered his voice and said, "It's Chitose Master." ”

Stunned, this kid ......

Zhao Wuwu was defenseless, but he was taken into the deep alley by someone who covered his mouth and nose. When her back was pressed against the cold stone wall, she woke up and looked at the dark shadow in front of her with disgust. Su Xi and Wen didn't move, and the familiar breath between their noses showed who was not him?

He let go of his hand slightly, but she saw the time and bit down.

The location is very accurate, and it is still a tiger's mouth.

He gasped, and the sudden pain made him frown, "Dogs? ”

"Yes, do you want to stew me myself and send another pot to Dongchang?" She dusted off his hand and tilted her head to squint at him, "The dignified Ye is nine thousand years old, don't climb the wall and change to rob people?" I'm not afraid to teach people to see that you and I will be served in one pot at that time. ”

"Are you afraid?" He asked.

She scoffed, "Afraid you'll eat me?" ”

"I wanted to eat it, but my mother-in-law's daughter didn't agree, so I had to endure it." He sighed softly, looked at her helplessly, put his hands on the sides of her cheeks, and encircled her in an extremely small space, "I want to take you somewhere." ”

Zhao Wuwu raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "Could it be that you want to take me back to the East Factory?" I'm not going to Chitose Mansion. "There is his Chitose wife in the Chitose Mansion, and she doesn't want to see Xue Lan again.

"Between you and me, it's always fair to be one person at a time." He leaned down and pecked her on the lips, "Come with me." ”

"Don't sell me." She muttered.

He said in his heart that he was really going to sell her.

She suddenly realized that he was wearing a robe tonight, and the delicate lines on this robe seemed to be something wrong. The inky cloak wrapped around him, and then he suddenly wrapped her in his arms and flew into the air with him.

Mu Baili's footsteps are naturally the fastest, that is, he can catch up with him.

The shadow is as fast as the wind, as fast as lightning.

Zhao Wuwu nestled in his arms and was wrapped in a black cloak. For a moment, she felt like she was eloping. His arms were extremely warm, and he could hear his heartbeat very steadily, and his heart was willing.

Suddenly, there was no movement around, and Zhao Wuwu was stunned.

Arrived?

Wen Gu gasped and landed outside the butterfly garden, staring at the plaque on the top.

Lu Guoan was guarding outside the butterfly garden early, and quickly stopped Wen Shu, "This is not the place you should be." ”

"What's here?" Naturally, Zhao Wuwu was not at ease, but standing outside, he couldn't see the situation inside the door at all. This towering wall separates the inside and the outside, making it impossible for people to peek in.

Lu Guoan didn't smile, "No matter what's in it, it has nothing to do with you." Chitose Ye is inside, so Lord Zhao won't have anything to do, so you can be less nosy and eat more. ”

"You!" Pick up the old teeth.

However, Lu Guoan is still right: with Mu Baili here, Zhao Wuwu should be fine.

Even if there is something, there is no way, Wen is not Mu Baili's opponent, even if he fights for his life, it will not help.

"A word of advice, get out of here. If the person who taught people to see Shangshu Mansion appeared near here, it is conceivable that it is only you who will bring danger to Lord Zhao. Lu Guoan reminded with a cold face.

Wen Gu took a deep breath, since the person was in the hands of Mu Baili, then things were much simpler. If there is anything at that time, see if he doesn't settle accounts with Dongchang and Mu Baili!

Seeing Wen disappear into the night, Lu Guoan breathed a sigh of relief. Look around, retreat into the butterfly garden, and close the gate of the butterfly garden.

In the dim vision, Zhao Wuwu couldn't really see the surrounding environment, and it wasn't until Mu Baili lit the candle that she could see her position clearly through the light of the fireflies.

It turned out to be a road, dark and dark, revealing a little gloomy.

This reminded Zhao Wuwu of Wang Shaojun's mother's underground palace, which seemed to be so claustrophobic and dark. She has a kind of fear and resistance in her heart about these claustrophobic places, which is why her face is extremely ugly at the moment.

The warm palm wrapped her cold soft wattle, Mu Baili of course knew her worries, and the only thing she could do now was to give her enough security to give her the courage to go down with him.

"Where is this?" She asked.

He smiled and looked at her meaningfully, "I have fulfilled you, and you should also fulfill me." ”
