"Madam, the master has a message." Lian Qing handed over a small bamboo tube.

Yuan Mingyue was not surprised. Yuan Chonghai did not fail to tell Shen Daochang the reason for this, and let Lian Qing follow, the original intention was to let Shen Daochang know his whereabouts, and it could be regarded as using his power to facilitate his own actions.

After reading the letter, Yuan Mingyue felt relieved. Yun Fan saw that she was so happy, and hurriedly asked her what was the matter.

"Lian Qing, when the peony and the others come back, let's go back to the capital, no need to go!"

Lian Qing hesitated for a moment, but still bowed down and said, "Yes!" ”

"What? Xiao Yueyue, your old man is saved? ”

"Yes! Huai Jin's letter said that someone had sent the herb to Yuan's mansion, and my father would be cured in a few days, so we should return as soon as possible, and he was on his way to meet us again. ”

After speaking, he pursed his lips and smiled.

"Yo yo yo, it's amazing, I said that there has been no news for so long, I thought I had died somewhere, and I had done a human thing!" Yun Fan couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh to express his feelings.

"Yun Fan!" Yuan Mingyue was a little embarrassed, maybe how many people were watching here!

"Great! Finally, you don't have to go to Taihua Mountain to die! “

Before the words fell, a sudden wind blew, and a cloud in the sky was pressed down like a whirlpool, just above the heads of the two people.

"Little girl, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense. How good it is to go to Taihua Mountain, how can it be called death? ”

An old voice sounded in his ears, and Yun Fan trembled with fright. opened his mouth and scolded: "Which shrunken turtle son, pretending to be a god." ”

This kind of trick that seems to call for wind and rain is nothing more than some tricks, Yun Fan took out the magic weapon and was preparing to dispel this cloud and find out.

Lian Qinggang rushed in as soon as he heard the movement, but he was afraid that Yuan Mingyue would be injured by touching his blindness, so he didn't send his troops and waited for the opportunity to move.

"Turtle son? Master, I'm not a turtle son, but I'm an ancestor. ”

As if to prove it, the clouds were gradually dissipating, and all three of them tensed their nerves and prepared to deal with it.

Suddenly, a skeleton with a head floated in front of Yun Fan's eyes, right next to the tip of her nose. Yun Fan shouted and hurriedly retreated. Lian Qing took advantage of the vacancy, and stabbed the skull with a sword, but he didn't think about it, the skeleton didn't dodge or dodge, and directly broke Lian Qing's into pieces.

"Wocao, what the hell is this, so hard?"

Yun Fan, who has been dealing with the tombs of ghosts and gods for many years, is certainly not afraid of ghosts, but is just surprised that this skeleton is so hard. Lian Qing's sword she said hello, that mouth, not much inferior to modern military-grade products, cutting a human bone, it's not like cutting cabbage.

"Who? Who tickles me? ”

The skull let out a trace of anger, and suddenly a turtle head stretched out from the skull's mouth, glaring angrily at Lian Qing.

Yun Fan and the three of them gasped, and their hearts shook slightly: "What kind of variety is this?" ”

The two glanced at each other and said in unison: "Bone turtle? ”

"Huh? You know me, sir? "The eyes of the two kings were spinning around.

Everyone was silent to see what the hell was going to do.

"Oh! I know, Xiao Ling'er must have mentioned my lord and me to you, right? ”

"Little Ling'er! Little Ling'er! Where did you go! I'm here to pick you up, sir! ”

Shout!

A green light rushed out from the forest, and Yao Ling'er ran out and hugged the skull and giggled, "Bone turtle, you're here so soon?" What about the red eagle? Didn't he come? “

"Don't talk about him, Wen Yuan stole his lychee and is angry on the mountain!" The old turtle spoke old and fast, like the voice of an old urchin.

"Huh? Why did Wen Yuan steal his licao? ”

"I don't know, I said I was treating someone. it, let's go back! Master, I can't wait to see if the reincarnated saintess is still the same saint as before! ”

"Of course!"

"Let's go!" As he spoke, he was about to make a gesture and take Yuan Mingyue away.

Lian Qing took advantage of their words to quickly assemble the accompanying secret guards and prepare to leave them behind.

Yuan Mingyue and Yun Fan also tried not to speak, and slowly moved to the periphery, trying to reduce their sense of presence.

For a while, the storm and clouds rose again, and the whirlpool-like clouds began to slowly gather again, excluding Lian Qing and the others, and they couldn't resist at all.

Yao Ling'er came over with joy and hugged Yuan Mingyue and squeezed Yun Fan away.

"Be careful, let's go! Oh! By the way, there is another doorman, I almost forgot, sir. With that, he rolled up the peony and disappeared with the clouds.

Lian Qing looked at the empty clearing with a solemn expression. This is the second time that Madame has had an accident with him, and this is how he has to explain to his master.

"Let's go!"

............................................................................................................................................................

The next day, Shen Daochang returned to Beijing from the northwest and entered the palace two days later.

"That's how things happened, Lian Qing has been entrusted by his master, and I implore my subordinates to be given another chance to atone for their crimes."

In the Shen family's study, Lian Qing knelt behind Shen Daochang and pleaded guilty.

Shen Daochang stood sideways beside the desk, his fingers kept clasping the table, making people nervous for no reason.

"You go down first!"

"Yes!"

Lian Qing got up and exited the door, and the guard at the door reached out and closed the door.

After a long time, Shen Daochang still maintained this posture, and only the sound of "knock, knock, knock" remained in the room.

"Your heart is in turmoil."

I don't know how long later, an ethereal voice sounded in the room. Shen Daochang unhurriedly continued: "My wife and son, if they don't know where they are, they are in chaos, and they should be." ”

"Can Lord Shen be sure of the world?"

"Of course, the decree will be issued soon, please wait for the good news."

"Mrs. Zun will only stay in the guest house for a few days, and she will be back in a few days, please wait for the good news."

All that was left in the room was the sound of "knock, knock, knock".

Soon after, a night walker slipped out of the Shen family's study and ran in the direction of Xu's house.

"Second Young Master Shen, the third watch came to my Xu Mansion as a guest in the middle of the night, and I forgive the official for being negligent and rude."

Xu Deren, the head of the Xu family, stood in the middle of the courtyard and said with his hands behind his back.

Now that it has been discovered, there is no need for Shen Daochang to hide it. He generously untied his mask and handed over to Xu Deren to perform the junior salute.

Xu Deren returned the salute and said: "I don't know what is the so-called matter of visiting late at night?" “

"It's not a big deal, but it's still important. Daochang has just returned from the northwest, and I heard that my wife's grandmother has been lost, and my wife is very anxious, so she came to look for it, because my wife is very worried, and she can't help but be impatient, and I hope that Lord Xu will not be surprised. ”

"Mama Si is indeed very sick, and now she is raised in the yard of the old lady, and the wind is cold at night, so it is inconvenient to disturb the elders in the family, if you want to visit, please come back in a few days."

"Thank you Lord Xu for reminding me, it was Daochang who was anxious, and Daochang would come to visit after facing the saint. Leave! ”

The generals in the army returned to Beijing to report on their work, and visited other officials before meeting the saint, so they were suspected of forming a party for personal gain, which made the king suspicious. Is Xu Deren reminding him that he can't enter the Xu Mansion openly?
