In order to catch the foreign object thrown by the man in black before disturbing the emperor, the white guards let the man in black go, and when they finally chased the foreign object, it had already landed on the roof of the main hall of the emperor's bedroom.

"There are thorns...", the guard downstairs hurriedly shouted, and the white guard immediately jumped off the roof and held down the guard's mouth.

"Don't make noise! It's me! After stopping the shouts of the guards, Xu Jiangyuan realized that he was holding a shoe in his hand.

'The seal of the Shangfu Bureau? 'Seeing the unique pattern of the shoes, the white guard knew where the shoes came from'The people of the royal family? ’。

"Who's making a fuss?" At this time, the emperor's rebuke came from the palace.

"Back to the emperor! It's a minister! White ink! The white guard replied respectfully!

"Is there anything wrong with this late hour?" The Emperor asked.

The white guard hesitated for a while, but decided to answer truthfully, "Back to the emperor... Xu Jiang has entered the palace! ”

After a moment of silence, the Emperor slammed the door open.

"Where?" The Emperor's voice was full of excitement, and he could hear that he was trying to suppress his emotions as much as possible.

Bai Guard knew in his heart that he was just a substitute "Outside the Yishou Palace, the minister has been fighting with him for a long time, and later..."

Before the white guard finished speaking, the emperor wore a nightgown and ran to the Yishou Palace, and the father-in-law behind him followed closely with small steps, wanting to put on a coat for the emperor but was pushed away.

Before coming to the Yishou Palace, there were blood stains on the ground but Xu Jiangyuan was missing, and the white guards didn't want to mention the matter of slashing Xu Jiangyuan, because this duel was not fair to him.

"When?" the emperor asked.

"Just now, when the minister and Xu Jiangyuan were confronting, a man in black secretly attacked, causing Xu Jiangyuan to be distracted, so he was injured by the minister!" The white guard replied respectfully.

"Then why are you outside the palace? Instead of catching Xu Jiangyuan? The emperor stared at the white guards indignantly.

"Minister... I'm afraid that the man in black will hurt the emperor... So—" The white guard didn't know how to justify, he was bent on killing the man in black.

"You fart!" The emperor burst into foul language in an instant, and the coat that the eunuch had carefully draped on his body was grabbed by the emperor and smashed on the white guard's face.

"How long have you been looking for Xu Jiangyuan?" The Emperor asked sharply.

"Twelve years have passed since I ascended the throne!" The White Guard returned.

"Twelve years! I finally had a chance to catch him today, why did you chase the so-called man in black instead of catching him, you say! Say! The emperor was furious, and the eunuch on one side hurriedly lay on the ground, and the white guard knelt down.

"The minister originally just wanted to win against Xu Jiangyuan, who knew that he was destroyed, he was angry, he just wanted to kill the troublemaker, the minister was too selfish, please punish the emperor!" The white guard knelt on the ground, a little helpless.

"Why do you care so much about duels!" The Emperor shook his head helplessly.

"Minister... wants to share worries for the emperor, as long as the emperor encounters something, he thinks of Xu Jiangyuan, ministers... Defy! The white guard said in a sonorous voice, clenching his fists tightly.

Hearing such an answer, the emperor couldn't bear it, walked over and helped up the white guard, looking at the blood stains on the ground, the emperor still felt guilty, such an opportunity was actually lost.

"The others leave first, the widow and the white guard have something to say," the emperor said as he walked ahead, and the white guard immediately picked up the robes on the ground and followed.

"White ink! Do you know why I miss Xu Jiangyuan in my heart? The Emperor asked softly.

"Because he is strong in martial arts, and he values love and righteousness, and is loyal to the royal family," said the white guard, draping the emperor in a robe.

"These are your thoughts on him, not what the widow thinks!" The Emperor smiled.

"Twelve years ago, when the widow ascended the throne, he flipped through all the secret letters of the former emperor and found a secret in them!" The Emperor recalled carefully, his tone calm and gentle.

"What's the secret? Something to do with Xu Jiangyuan? The white guard immediately asked.

"Hmmm! It is related to the knife man, and in some of the chapters, it is mentioned that the deeds of the knife man handling the case, which is a very important point, that is, the intelligence agency, the knife man is ostensibly for the emperor to deal with some cases that cannot be put on the surface, but in fact, it is not, it is by no means a position established by the former emperor in order to be happy to pardon punishment, there is a huge intelligence agency behind it, from the beginning of its establishment to the present, almost involving the intelligence of various people in Chang'an and even beyond! The Emperor said this, and glanced at the white guard meaningfully, "Do you now know why I found him?" ”

"The minister knows! The value of the minister is far less than his" The white guard lowered his head.

"It's not that you are inferior to him, you are not inferior to him in terms of loyalty and righteousness, there are many masters in martial arts, and there is no worse than Xu Jiangyuan, what is inferior is the power in his hands, only he controls the real organization of the sword-bearer, not the sword-bearing guard on the surface!" The emperor sighed, and unconsciously walked back to the dormitory, "The widow is tired, I told you so much today, but it is all the widow's heart!" White ink! How much do you understand? ”

"The ministers have understood, the ministers will do their best to protect the emperor and track down Xu Jiangyuan and the forces behind him!" The white guard knelt down on one knee and clenched his fists respectfully.

"Go back and recuperate, win the championship banquet tomorrow, and maintain the face of the royal family!" After speaking, the emperor walked into the dormitory.

"The minister does not fail in his mission!" The white guard stood up, and suddenly felt that tonight's battle was not meaningless, at least he knew that compared to Xu Jiangyuan, he was not inferior in his own ability, "Or he has a little more chance!" Knife Rider? ”

"It's the third day, where has my brother gone?" Xu Shangao stood in front of the door of Xu Jiangyuan's dormitory and knocked on the door, but he didn't open the door yet, he had checked back and forth dozens of times in the past three days.

"Linyun also went to Bangxia Pavilion, and he hasn't come back in the past two days, so I'll just go find him" Xu Shangao thought about it and left Mingyue Academy, just bumping into Thirteen Niang.

"Mr. Xu, have you seen Linyun?" Thirteen Niang asked anxiously.

"I just went to his room, it seems that there is no one, it should be in Bangxia Pavilion and I haven't come back!" Xu Shangao said.

"Bangxia Pavilion? Did you really move in? Thirteen Niang muttered to herself and ran towards the outside of the courtyard.

"Miss Lu, you wait for me!" Xu Shangao also ran along, because Xu Shangao learned that Thirteen Niang was Lu Kaka's sister, and felt that it was awkward to call Thirteen Niang, and he should still call someone his surname, but Thirteen Niang didn't like to say his name, so Xu Shangao called Thirteen Niang Lu Girl.

The two went on a rampage, ignoring the old bustard's obstruction, came to the room where Sheng Linyun was, pushed the door and went in to take a look, and found that Sheng Linyun was not there.

"See, I said that there is no one you are looking for, and I am saying that this is the place where our master and maid live, looking for your man! Go to the outer layer! The bustard chased him to the room and forced them to go out.

Thirteen Niang pushed the bustard onto the chair and asked fiercely, "Let me ask you, where is the young man who was brought back by your master three days ago?" ”

When the old bustard saw the appearance of Thirteen Niang, he understood that he was a person who was not easy to mess with, and he was also involved with his master Mei Niang, and he couldn't say it clearly, "Why don't I go and ask you!" ”

"Hurry up, or I'll tear down your shop!" Thirteen Niang pulled up the bustard and pushed it out of the room.

The old bustard followed the road to the kitchen and connected with a girl, and after saying a few words, he stood still and waited for something, and the girl who connected turned around and walked into the kitchen, and opened a secret door, which led to the ground.

In a room underground, Mei Niang was sitting in front of the bed to change Xu Jiangyuan's dressing, Sheng Linyun stood aside, Mei Niang said, "I brought you here, but as for the details, let him tell you when he wakes up!" ”

"Hmm!" Sheng Linyun stared at the sleepy Xu Jiangyuan and recalled what had just happened.

With such a heavy knife wound, he broke through the window, and then fainted, the opponent's skill seemed to be above Xu Jiangyuan, but there was also a wound from a hidden weapon in the back, so he might not have been attacked in a duel; What came back was one more knife, and the peony on the scabbard was beautifully carved, which seemed to be the weapon he used to use in the court, and he should have entered the palace! Looking at the peasant's dress, he should have used the preparation of the championship banquet in the past few days to sneak into the palace; What did he enter the palace for? For Mr. Xu to spy on the news of tomorrow's championship banquet? Probably not...'

Just as Sheng Linyun was thinking, a girl walked into the room.

"Mei Niang, someone came to him, and he followed Mr. Xu!" The girl said.

"Don't let him see me..."Xu Jiangyuan instinctively opened his mouth to a broken thought, but his eyes were closed.

"You won't be seen in the secret room~" Mei Niang hurriedly reassured, and then turned to Sheng Linyun, "Go up quickly!" Later, that girl will make a fuss, and I will have to change places again! ”

"I haven't been back for three days, and I forgot to say to Thirteen Niang" Sheng Linyun hurriedly followed the girl to the ground, and returned to the room that Mei Niang arranged for herself.

"What the hell is going on with you?" Thirteen Niang's expression was serious, and she looked really angry, "You are happy to live here, why don't you say it, I have been looking for you for three days, do you know?" ”

"I'm sorry! Thirteen Niang... I..."Sheng Linyun explained hesitantly, he and Mo Wei have always been inseparable, and there will be no situation where they need to report without being at home, and it is not customary to forget to inform Thirteen Niang for the time being.

"What are you, unlike him, he ran away with the little girl, and threw you to me, now it's okay, you are happy here, and you forgot me in the academy, why should I? What do I owe you brothers? Saying that, Thirteen Niang actually cried, making Sheng Linyun and Xu Shangao very embarrassed, but they also understood this Nizi's thoughts, not only thinking differently, but also eating his jealousy, maybe more helplessness about their own life experience.

"It's not! Thirteen Mother~ I fainted two days ago, so I was brought here, and then I... I... I'm sorry" Sheng Linyun really didn't know how to say, and finally felt that it was better to apologize!

"I don't need you to apologize, you should inform me," Thirteen Niang said with a crying voice.

"It's me who is not good, Thirteen Niang, you can pack up your things early tomorrow morning and come over to live" Sheng Linyun hurriedly poured water for Thirteen Niang and comforted him.

"Linyun, do we still have a chance to find a different one?" Thirteen Niang asked coldly.

Sheng Linyun was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice, "It's all because I didn't get the fame!" ”

"Why don't we go by ourselves?" Thirteen Niang said expectantly, but Sheng Linyun was silent, and then Thirteen Niang said silently, "If you have anything important, we won't go!" ”

"Hmm..."Sheng Linyun responded helplessly, at this moment he felt helpless without the title of the gold list, and the original plan was all disrupted...
