Today, Li You came for no reason, which made Shui Qingqing feel faintly uneasy in her heart-

It has been almost a month since she quit her family, and Li You has not appeared again during this period, but today she suddenly came to the door and tested herself with sesame puff pastry, obviously suspicious of her.

Thinking of Li You handing the sesame puff pastry to his mouth, Shui Qingqing's body still trembled uncontrollably, and she couldn't erase the fear at that time.

And thinking that later, when he was asked by 6 Lin, in front of everyone, he did not hesitate to deny that he didn't know that she was allergic to sesame seeds, and her heart was even more cold.

How could he not know that when he was in Chuxiu Palace, Mei Zijin told him in front of her......

The body is cold to the bones, and the heart is even cold......

If Shui Qingqing still felt guilty about him for deceiving him before, but now, she is calm. even felt that her decision was right, and she was lucky that she didn't marry him......

It's just that, intuitively, she thinks that something must have happened that will make Li You have today's behavior.

However, what happened was something she couldn't guess, and she couldn't help but feel more anxious......

Xiaoxi came in from outside the house, saw Shui Qingqing wake up, sat on the bed alone in a daze, and stepped forward to worry: "Is there anything uncomfortable with Miss?" ”

Shui Qingqing resisted the discomfort in her body, and smiled with relief: "I'm fine, you help me call the nameless brother over." ”

Xiaoxi said: "I just saw you sleeping, and the nameless eldest brother said that he had something to go out to do, so he went out......"

Looking at the sky outside, Shui Qingqing asked suspiciously, "Did he say what he was going to do?" When will you be back? ”

Xiaoxi shook his head blankly and said, "He didn't say anything, he just said that I should guard the young lady and the main courtyard well, and don't let people come in casually......"

Thinking of what he said to Nameless before, he was going to Chen Guogong's Mansion to find the scene of the fire where his mother was encountered, and the blue bricks that were suspected of burning red sleeves, Shui Qingqing was awe-inspiring, and he could guess without thinking about it that Nameless must have gone to Chen Guogong's Mansion in person.

Nameless skills, Shui Qingqing believes in it.

It's just that I don't know why today, Shui Qingqing has been feeling uneasy and sluggish in her heart, and she always feels that something bad will happen. So, I can't help but worry about Nameless......

As Shui Qingqing expected, Nameless did go to Queen Chen's maiden home at night, Chen Guogong's Mansion.

Chen Guogongfu is a generation of meritorious nobles, although a few years ago declined, but after Empress Chen became the mother of the country, Chen Guogongfu returned to its peak and became the most high-class powerful family in the Great Jin Dynasty.

Needless to say, even the green bricks that build houses and walls are also ingenious, and each piece of green brick has a diamond-shaped groove edge specially designed by Chen Guogong's Mansion, which is very exquisite.

Nameless came to Empress Chen's boudoir Lanxin Courtyard.

In that year's fire, the Orchid Temple has long been rebuilt. Even if Queen Chen married into the East Palace a year later and became the crown princess, this Orchid Courtyard has always been kept by Queen Chen, although no one lives, but there are servants to clean it every day, keep it clean, and become the residence of Queen Chen when she goes out of the palace and returns to her parents' home.

Nameless came to the back of the main house, smeared some of the dye he was carrying on the green bricks, and then took out a plain white silk cloth and covered it, and copied the traces on the green bricks and the size of the green bricks on the silk cloth. so that I can bring it back to Shui Qingqing.

Kankan got everything done, and Nameless was about to put away the silk cloth and leave, when two people with lanterns passed by, and Nameless appeared wearing a mask, and suddenly screamed.

In an instant, the entire Chen Guogong Mansion was alarmed, and the patrolling courtyard immediately rushed over, and Chen Zijin, the prince of the Guogong Mansion who lived in the adjacent Guogong Mansion of Lanxin Courtyard, was also alarmed, and immediately led people to chase the nameless all the way out of the Chen Guogong Mansion.

Chen Zijin is the eldest son of Empress Chen's eldest brother, and he became the son of the Duke of Chen's mansion, a little older cousin Li You is a few years old, under the support of Empress Chen, he is already an official and a soldier of the Ministry of Soldiers.

There are no dogs in Humen, except for Queen Chen's support, Chen Zijin himself is also good, strong in martial arts, and quick in mind, so he has been chasing Nameless, and Nameless can't get rid of him for a while.

Since he couldn't get rid of him for a while, Nameless naturally didn't dare to lead him to Baifu, so he had to sneak into the complicated Vermilion Bird Alley.

However, what he didn't expect was that Li You, who came out of Baifu, also happened to go to Suzaku Lane.

It turned out that after seeing Liu Yin and Yun'er at the gate of the 6th Mansion before, Li You was not suspicious of Liu Yin, but after seeing a few small blushes on Yun'er's wrists, he left doubts in his heart.

He secretly thought, 6 Lin is the most prestigious doctor in the capital, and he is idle and casual, does not sit for consultation, and does not easily help people see a doctor.

Moreover, today is the first day that 6 Lin returned to the city from the border pass, and he just returned home, and outsiders didn't know that he had returned, but this woman came with her child to see a doctor, or when Shui Qingqing went to 6 mansions to find 6 Lin.

According to common sense, 6 Lin rushed back to the capital from the border to take care of Shui Qingqing at Mei Zijin's request, she should put her affairs first, how could she help other people see a doctor when she went to meet at the house, or to see an ordinary wind and cold?

However, what made Li You most strange was that the relationship between 6 Lin and the woman did not seem to be an ordinary patient relationship. The feeling that he gave was a relationship of acquaintance......

The more he thought about it, the more foggy Li You's heart became.

Intuitively, he felt that this woman and the child appeared in the 6 Mansion at this time, and they had something to do with 6 Lin or Shui Qingqing.

And a few bits of red on the child's wrist, although they passed by in a flash, without looking carefully, inexplicably made him block his heart.

Therefore, Li You quietly gave Gao Ming, the entourage next to him, and asked him to follow Liu Yin......

When he came out of Baifu, Gao Ming, who had followed Liu Yin all the way back, had returned, and told Li You that after the woman carried the child into Suzaku Lane, she entered a blacksmith shop.

Gao Ming also inquired about the surrounding neighbors and knew that this blacksmith shop was opened by a pair of Liu brothers and sisters, the elder brother was unmarried, the younger sister was unmarried, and the family suddenly had a child a month ago.

Hearing the announcement, Li You became even more suspicious, and immediately decided to go to the blacksmith shop in Suzaku Lane to meet the two brothers and sisters in person.

At that time, it was late at night, and there were few people on the street, but the Suzaku Alley, which was mixed, was brightly lit, and the wine shops, teahouses, and Qinglou Chu Pavilions were all lively.

Li You's carriage turned into Suzaku Lane, and was about to go straight to the blacksmith shop, but at this moment, he heard someone outside the car respectfully calling: "Is there the Third Highness in the car?" ”

Hearing the voice, Li You heard the voice of his cousin Chen Zijin.

Li You lifted the curtain, and sure enough, when he saw Chen Zijin standing on the side of the road, he was slightly startled, and said with a light smile: "It's so late, why is my cousin here?" ”

Chen Zijin's face was heavy, he took two steps forward to approach the carriage, and said in a low voice: "A thief broke into the mansion, and I chased him all the way here." It's just that...... As soon as I entered here, I was nowhere to be seen. ”

Seeing that Chen Zijin's face was solemn, and he personally chased him here from Chen Guogong's mansion, Li You expected that things might not be simple, so he couldn't help but ask in a deep voice: "Did the thief steal any valuable things from the mansion?" It was my tired cousin who chased me here. ”

Chen Zijin said coldly: "What the thief stole is still unknown, it's just - according to my intuition, the purpose of this thief coming to the mansion is not simple, because the place he went to is my aunt's Lanxin Courtyard." ”

Hearing that the thief went to the boudoir before the queen mother, Li You's heart suddenly became cold, and his face sank, and he said coldly: "So, cousin, can you see the appearance of the thief?" ”

Chen Zijin said hatefully: "He is wearing a black night suit, and he is wearing a silver mask on his face, so he can't see his face clearly at all. ”

As soon as he heard the words 'silver mask', Li You's heart was suddenly shocked, and he couldn't help but think of the day of the disappearance of Shui Qingqing on February Ershui, he and Bai Haoqing surrounded the Dingguo Hou Mansion, and saw with his own eyes the person who jumped out of the Hou Mansion, wore a silver mask and was strong in martial arts, and easily got rid of them!

The martial arts are high, he can throw him and Chen Zijin off, and he is also wearing a silver mask, and if he doesn't think about it, Li You is sure that the person who escaped from the Hou Mansion last time is the same person who broke into the Chen Guogong Mansion tonight.

In fact, since that night, Li You has been asking people to check the mask man who suddenly appeared that night, but after so much time, there is no clue, and the mask man seems to have disappeared from the capital......

Unexpectedly, after more than a month, he appeared again in the capital, and appeared in the boudoir of the Empress Mother of Chen Guogong's Mansion.

In this way, Li You's heart also became heavy, knowing that things were as Chen Zijin expected, not a simple thief, but with other purposes.

Moreover, this matter is about the queen mother, I am afraid that it is even more unusual.

While Li You was pondering, Chen Zijin was curious about why he appeared here at this time.

After all, Vermilion Bird Lane is the most chaotic and low-level place in the capital, and those who live here are all ninth-rate people, and according to Li You's identity, he will never set foot here.

So, Chen Zijin asked curiously, "Why did the Third Highness come here too?" ”

Chen Zijin's question reminded Li You of his purpose for coming to Vermilion Bird Lane.

And when he thought that the person he was looking for was also in Vermilion Bird Lane, Li You's suspicious mind suddenly flashed with a bright light-

That night, the masked man jumped out of the Hou Mansion, when Mei Zijin was obviously in the Hou Mansion, but he didn't even chase after him, although it was later said that the mask assassin had scared the old lady Hou, and he stayed in the house to take care of the old lady.

But according to Mei Zijin's usual behavior, if the mask assassin really broke into the mansion and frightened the old lady, Mei Zijin would definitely not let him go.

And looking at the entire capital, I am afraid that only Mei Zijin's martial arts can match that person. If Mei Zijin had made a move that night, coupled with their interception, the assassin would have escaped

But that night, Mei Zijin didn't move at all.

Now that I think about it, it's really abnormal.

And the cautious Li You even had a bold speculation in his heart - could it be that Mei Zijin and the mask assassin were acquainted?

Li You thought of the woman who left from the 6 Lin Mansion with the child in her arms today, and she also lived in Suzaku Lane.

6 Lin and her seem to be acquaintances.

And 6 Lin and Mei Zijin are best friends again, and the mask assassin and the woman both appeared in Suzaku Lane, how could things be so coincidental?!

As his thoughts turned back and forth, Li You's fingers dipped in tea connected the relevant character relationship lines between the dots representing the four people on the small table in front of him.

In the end, the line freezes on the masked assassin and the woman holding the child.

The results of the route told Li You that according to the inference, the woman holding the child and the mask assassin were very likely to ...... Also acquaintance!

With a violent shock in his heart, Li You didn't hesitate any longer, and said to Chen Zijin in a deep voice: "Cousin, get in the car, maybe this palace knows where they are." ”

Chen Zijin looked at Li You in surprise, but before he could come back to his senses, Li You coldly ordered: "Inform Jing Zhaoyin's Mansion Yin and let them lead troops to guard the various exits of Vermilion Bird Lane - from this moment on, the palace wants the entire Vermilion Bird Lane, and not a single mosquito can fly out." ”

After that, he hurried to the blacksmith shop without stopping.

Along the way, Li You's face was as cold as water, various thoughts flashed through his mind, and more and more fog surged up-

Did the Mask Assassin really know Mei Zijin? And what did he do when he went to his mother's boudoir?

And is Shui Qingqing really demented? What would her relationship be with the Mask Assassin and the woman she is today? Is it really just a coincidence that they appeared together in the 6 Mansions......

Li You, whose brain is messy, is desperate to catch the mask assassin and the woman holding the child, because only by finding them will all the mysteries in his mind be solved......

The Liu family's blacksmith shop is easy to find, and the kung fu of half a pillar of incense is there.

Before the carriage could stop, Li You and Chen Zijin jumped out of the carriage.

The people brought by Li Zijin blocked the front and back doors and surrounded the entire blacksmith shop.

Li You had a cold and calm face, and asked the personal guard Gao Ming to come forward and knock on the door.

However, even though the high-ranking general knocked on the door of the store, there was no reaction at all, but he faintly saw that the lights were on inside.

Seeing that the door couldn't be knocked on for a long time, Li You coldly ordered Gao Ming: "Hit the door!" ”

The name was ordered, and he kicked the wooden door panel away.

The door of the shop was wide open, and the furnishings inside were unobstructed, but except for the tools that were full of iron, and the iron utensils that were made, there was not half a figure in sight.

Seeing this, Li You's handsome face was unconsciously covered with frost, and he took the lead in throwing off his steps and stepping into the blacksmith shop, his eyes searching everywhere.

However, neither the shop in front nor the house in the backyard were nowhere to be seen.

Li Youjun's face was gloomy as water, and his eyes swept coldly from the burning candle flame and the obviously messy box in the house, and his heart was already clear.

Seeing that there was no one in the house, Gao Ming looked at Li You's cold face, turned pale with fright, and said in a panic: "Your Highness, my subordinates did see the woman holding the child in their hands, and before entering the door, they greeted the man who was striking iron and called him 'brother'...... The subordinates inquired about the neighbors around them, and the neighbors also said that the brother and sister surnamed Liu had lived here for more than a year......

Li You bent down to pick up a baby's clothes that had fallen on the ground, and after careful inspection, his eyes flashed slightly.

The baby's clothes are made of extremely particular fabrics, and they are actually made of tribute Yunjin.

It is unbelievable that the children of a small blacksmith shop can afford the scarce amount of tribute Yunjin from the imperial court every year.

You must know that such a superb Yunjin, even if you have money, you can't buy it. In addition to the exclusive use of the royal family, only a few were rewarded to the families of the nobles and humerus ministers.

At this time, Li You felt that he had stepped into a strange circle full of fog, and his eyes were full of doubts, which he couldn't see through, but it also made him excited.

Pull out the fog that haunts him, what kind of surprising truth will be behind the fog?

Putting away the child's clothes in his hand, Li You sneered at Gao Ming's stunned face: "We are a step too late, and the people have already left-come here, pass on the edict of the palace, close the nine gates, and strictly investigate everyone who goes out of the city, especially the woman with a child." ”

At this time, Chen Zijin came over, twisted his eyebrows and asked Gao Ming: "Are you sure you have inquired clearly, are there only two brothers and sisters living here?" ”

Gao Ming wiped the cold sweat on his face and said solemnly: "The neighbors around all say this, only the brother and sister live here. ”

Hearing this, Chen Zijin's brows tightened even tighter, and Li You said coldly: "What are you doing?" ”

Chen Zijin took Li You to the backyard, went up the stairs to the nameless house, pointed to the furnishings in the house, and said: "The furnishings of this room are obviously different from the two bedrooms downstairs, and the two rooms at the bottom can be seen at a glance, it is a brother and sister in one room, and who lives in this room?" ”

Looking at the closed curtains and calm furnishings in the room, the masked assassin suddenly appeared in Li You's mind...... and another figure coming.

And this figure is nameless!

Li You couldn't help but remember that when he sent someone to follow Nameless before, he also appeared in Suzaku Alley.

How could it be such a coincidence that the people he was going to track down all appeared in Suzaku Lane?!

Li You's heart brightened up like a mirror. said coldly: "This may be the den of the masked man you want to catch." ”

Chen Zijin was taken aback and said in surprise: "In that case, where are they now?" ”

Li You hooked his lips and smiled sarcastically: "Escaped, are you still waiting to be caught by us here-I'm afraid that when Gao Ming asks his neighbors about them, they will find out." ”

Chen Zijin gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Sure enough, he is a thief." ”

It turned out that, as Li You expected, when Gao Ming asked the neighbors around him about the situation of Liu Yin's brothers and sisters, he was exposing himself, because among the neighbors he inquired about, there were people in black who pretended to be civilians and whose names were nameless.

After Gao Ming left, the man immediately went to the blacksmith shop and told Liu Jing and Liu Yin. And at this time, in order to escape Chen Zijin's pursuit, Nameless also returned to the blacksmith shop, and after hearing the situation, he immediately sensed that something was wrong, and immediately asked the Liu brothers and sisters to pack up their things and hide in the rice shop opened by the man in black not far next door.

Therefore, at that time, when Li You and Chen Zijin led the officers and soldiers to surround the blacksmith shop, Nameless was standing in the hidden attic of the rice shop, coldly watching everything in the blacksmith shop.

Liu Yin hugged Yun'er and cowered on the wooden bed in the attic in fear, and said guiltily: "Nameless brother, I was too careless to lead people here......"

Looking at everything on the other side in silence, Nameless said coldly: "I can't blame you for this, none of us expected that the third prince would suddenly go to the 6th Mansion today, let alone that he would be suspicious of you at a glance." ”

Liu Jing said in a deep voice on the side: "Childe, what are we going to do now?" ”

Nameless looked back at Liu Yin who looked scared on the bed, and then looked at Yun'er who was asleep in her arms, his heart was extremely heavy, and he said to Liu Jing in a deep voice: "The blacksmith shop can't go back anymore, you are temporarily living in other brothers' shops." Find the right opportunity, you take Yun'er out of the city. ”

Liu Jing was taken aback, "Isn't Childe going with us?" I'm worried...... Childe was also exposed. ”

Nameless turned and walked down the attic, and said in a deep voice, "I can't leave yet - I'll go back to you when I'm done here." ”

Liu Jing couldn't help but pull him up, worried: "Now there are officers and soldiers everywhere outside, and all the exits of Vermilion Bird Lane have been blocked. ”

Nameless didn't know the situation outside, but when he thought of Shui Qingqing, and thought of Li You, who had sent someone to follow him to Vermilion Bird Lane before, Nameless knew that with Li You's cautiousness, he was only afraid that he would suspect himself at this time.

As he expected, Li You would definitely go back to Baifu to ask Shui Qingqing for someone, so he must rush back to the main courtyard before Li You went to Baifu.

In this way, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire outside, he will break out.

What's more, he also had to send the copied silk cloth back to Shui Qingqing......

"Now, they only doubt me, but they can't really confirm that I'm the Masked Man," he said. I can only dispel their suspicions of me if I go back as soon as possible before they go to the White Mansion to confirm. ”

With that, he didn't hesitate any longer, turned around and hurried downstairs.

And downstairs, I don't know when, there were more than a dozen people in black standing silently.

Nameless felt a pang in his heart, and said coldly: "Who asked you to come?" ”

The man in black stepped forward and gritted his teeth and said, "Let's escort the son out!" ”

Nameless was about to open his mouth to refuse, but the next moment, his body suddenly stiffened, but he was stopped from behind and couldn't move.

He watched with wide eyes as Liu Jing took the silver mask from his arms, he had already guessed something in his heart, and said in horror: "What are you going to do?" ”

Liu Jing put the mask on his face and said to Nameless: "I will go out for you to lead away the officers and soldiers, and you take the opportunity to escape from Suzaku Lane." ”

Liu Jing turned to the black-clothed man and instructed: "After I lead away the officers and soldiers in this vicinity, you will unlock the acupoints for Gongzi." ”

With that, he jumped out of the wall and disappeared.

And the other people in black also followed Liu Jing away.

Looking at everyone's disappearing figures, Nameless was so anxious that his eyes were almost bloodshot, and he shouted at the man in black: "Help me unlock the acupoint." ”

The man in black clenched his fists and said guiltily: "Childe forgives his sins, only this method can allow Childe to escape smoothly." ”

Nameless said urgently: "But in this way, Liu Jing will die." ”

The man in black said: "Don't worry, Childe, the other brothers will help Brother Liu break through together, we said okay, we don't love war, just lead away the officers and soldiers at the intersection and let Childe get out." ”

It wasn't until there was a sound of fighting outside, and when he heard the officers and soldiers shouting that the mask assassin was gone, the black-clothed man unlocked the nameless acupoint and said in a deep voice: "Son, let's go." ”

Now, it's too late for Nameless to chase Liu Jing again. He glanced at the attic worriedly, and said to the man in black, "You take good care of the girl and the child here." ”

After that, go out from the courtyard gate, take advantage of the chaos, and sneak outside Suzaku Lane......

Li You was really as Nameless expected, and after making a fuss in the blacksmith shop, he suddenly thought of going to Baifu to determine if Nameless was in the mansion.

And Shui Qingqing has been waiting for him to come back anxiously since she learned that Nameless went out, but she has never seen Nameless.

The bad premonition in my heart became more and more obvious.

Just when Shui Qingqing was panicking, there was a sudden knock on the courtyard door......
