There were three cries of night owls in the night sky, two short and one long, which made people feel creepy in the bright and unbright sky.

The man stretched out his palm behind his back and clenched his fist, and the sound of the night owl disappeared immediately, only the sound of the wind was heard.

Finally arrived at the official road, it was the way to Liuhe Village, and Liu Fu was shocked to realize that the mountain where the two were located turned out to be the mountain range where Liuhe Village was located.

Liu Wu said to the man: "Let's say goodbye here." You don't have to worry about me telling others about your whereabouts, you and me, you're an elephant, I'm an ant, it's easy to step on me, I don't want to die yet. ”

Yan Bei was noncommittal, and Liu Wu helped him to a big tree on the side of the road, and then let go of the man's waist, and walked to the west first, gradually disappearing his shadow.

The man's eyes were as pale as ink, the corners of his mouth actually rose by an arc, and he said softly: "Little fox, your home is in the east, but you are going to the west, are you afraid that I will go to you?" ”

Yan Heng flashed out of the woods with eight people.

Eight people, dark green clothes, black belts, black soap boots, embroidered on their chests with a black eagle striking the sky, covered with black and red cloaks, very powerful.

The eight people stepped forward and saluted Yanbei with their fists: "Commander Lord Jin An!" ”

Yan Heng looked at the injuries on his master's body distressedly, and said quickly: "What is An, night five, quickly show the master the injury, I knew that it was so dangerous, I didn't go to you, but accompanied the master......"

These shrimp soldiers and crab generals of the Nine Princes, their martial arts are not the master's opponents, and their calculations are far inferior to the master's, so when the master asked him to leave the Confluence Eagle Eight Guards, he didn't care, which Cheng thought that something went wrong with such a negligence.

Yan Bei shook his head and said, "It's not hurting the roots, it's not in the way, just rest for a while, and the news has spread?" ”

Yan Heng said with a worried face: "Back to the master, after such a fuss on the Shangyuan Festival, the Nine Princes can't hide it if they want to, and the news has been quickly transmitted back to the capital." Master, how do we act next? ”

Yan Bei squinted his eyes lightly, snorted from his nose and said: "What I have to do now is to transfer the eight hundred eagle guards from the capital, lie dormant everywhere, and wait for things to ferment, the Nine Princes will be like sitting on pins and needles, and they won't be able to endure it for long." ”

Yanbei Aoni looked around at the eight people, and said solemnly: "Eight hundred households, you know how to do it." ”

The eight of them clasped their fists at the same time and replied in unison: "I will not disgrace my life!" ”

The eight people reported their own plans, and Yanbei was satisfied.

After the eight people left, Yan Heng gave a purse to Yan Bei and said: "Master, the younger one bought a new Zhuangzi in the west of Jiangyin City, the new owner is a sixty-year-old widower Kang Yuan, this is a new mask, which can be used for the master to hibernate." ”

Yan Bei's eyebrows furrowed tightly, perhaps because his facial expression was bigger, and he was wearing a human skin mask, which made one eyebrow high and the other low, looking a little disobedient, but the owner of the mask didn't know it, and muttered: "Sixty years old? Or a widower?"

Yan Heng looked at the human skin mask on Yan Bei's face, and said in his heart, fortunately, the master is a "paralyzed face" on weekdays, if he accidentally has a big facial expression, it is inevitable that there will be mistakes.

Seeing Yan Bei asking, he thought that he was disgusted with the new mask and was a skinny old man, so he hurriedly explained: "Master, pretending to be a sixty-year-old man is because the old man has loose skin and many wrinkles, and the master doesn't have to always keep a straight face after putting it on, and his joy and anger can be shown in his expression, and there are no many restrictions, as for the widower, it is because the master loves to be quiet, and the little one is afraid of the women's shame, and he loses the master's interest......"

Yan Heng can talk about the reason for pretending to be an old man, but as for the widower, Yan Heng really doesn't dare to say much, except for Aijing, the master is not close to women.

Before the accident in the Hou Mansion, Yanbei was close to women, and the capital was famous for being "close to women", who didn't know that he had a gentle and lively little cousin? The two grew up as childhood sweethearts, as long as they were fine, Yanbei went to buy sugar gourds, candied fruits, pastries, and fresh toys, and bought two copies as soon as they bought them, one for Miss Tan Shushen and one for the second young master Yannan.

Pastries golden silk cake, white jade cake, white jade cake was originally Tan Shushen's favorite food, white jade cake is Yanbei's favorite food, because he always bought it and ate it with Yan Nan, so in the end it became the second young master Yan Nan's favorite.

Because the two housemothers are aunts and cousins, and the children are good friends, they are naturally even closer.

Tan's father was born as a civil official, originally released as an official, and served as the imperial history of the seven products, and then relied on the power of the Yan family marquis' mansion to be promoted all the way to the capital of the four products of the left imperial history.

The Hou Mansion was framed by the Nine Kings, Tan's father Mingzhe protected himself, closed the house, and even the corpses of the Hou Ye and his wife did not dare to collect them, it can be said that they were cold and timid by nature, and later the Jiang family of the Yue Family Sword and Eagle Palace of the Hou Mansion snatched the body out for burial.

Yan Heng peeked at the master's expression, and saw that the master's face was indifferent, so he felt a little relieved, took out the mask from his purse, and presented it to the master in the palm of his hand.

Yan Beipo looked at the paralyzed skin in the palm of his hand, and sure enough, as Yan Heng said, there were folds and ravines all over, like the beard left over from the gnawed peach flesh, and the deep grooves one by one.

If a person goes out with this face, let alone an expression of joy and sorrow, even the flies dare not fall on it, for fear that they will break their hip bones if they fall on it.

Yan Bei frowned again.

Yan Heng muttered in his heart, thinking that an eighteen-year-old handsome young man in Yanbei was unwilling to pretend to be a sixty-year-old man, so he took out another mask from his arms and carefully explained: "Master, this is a handsome scholar, with a white face, but the master will not smile in the future, I can pretend to be your scholar......

Yan Bei squinted at Yan Heng, and said with a look of disgust: "Where do you look like a scholar?" ”

Yan Heng looked embarrassed, and wanted to explain that he could also wear another mask and pretend to be gentle.

Yan Bei didn't allow him to elaborate, and said with a contemplative face: "The Nine Princes' Mansion is not all wine bags and rice bags, no matter how delicate the human skin mask is, people's expressions will be stiff, and it will be found sooner or later......"

Yan Heng blinked, I don't know why, no matter how bad the human skin mask is, doesn't it help the master to be "Cong Nan" for so long, and he also plays the Nine Princes around, leading the nose all the way.

Yan Heng stretched out his hand, groped behind his ear for a moment, tore it hard, and ripped off the human skin mask of "Cong Nan", revealing the handsome face below, as if relieved, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and said to the stunned Yan Heng seriously: "Let's go, let's go dormant......"

......

When Liu Wu walked home, the sky was already faintly bright, so he changed his clothes, washed his face, ran directly to Niu Bo's house, and immediately returned to Jiangyin County in an ox cart, so as not to worry about the three of Liu's mothers.

In Huangjiabu Village, the eyes of the three Liu family mothers were red and swollen, standing at the door and looking at the direction of the left and right intersections, and after a while, they saw Sun Yinbiao who was striding back with a meteor.

Liu Shi greeted him excitedly, his eyes were full of hope and he said cautiously: "But, can there be news of Xu'er?" ”

Sun Yinbiao shook his head embarrassedly and said, "Auntie, I have sent out all the brothers of the dart game, I should be able to find Su'er, don't worry too much......"

Liu's body was planted, Sun Yinbiao hurriedly stretched out his hand to support it, Liu embarrassedly brushed away the young man's hand, gave a deep salute, and said gratefully: "Deputy Dart Sun, you and I met in Pingshui, you not only saved our family of three last night, but now you are helping to find Su'er, which makes me, let me how to repay your kindness......"

Sun Yinbiao hurriedly mixed up with Liu's and said politely: "When the road is uneven, it is the true nature of my generation to draw a knife to help." I came to tell my aunt, and the city gate was immediately opened, and I took someone out of the city to look for it. ”

Sending Liu back to Huangjia Buzhuang, Sun Yinbiao anxiously rushed to the city gate to converge, to go out of the city to search for catkins.

Afraid that Liu would be worried, he did not tell Liu and Pan.

After inquiring about the arrest of the night patrol on the street, it was learned that the black-clothed man who abducted the catkins that day was Cong Nan, a key criminal wanted by the government, and the person secretly arrested by the Nine Princes, whose value was far higher than the reward of 100 taels of silver, and the reason why he put 100 taels was just because he didn't want too many people to explore the inside story.

Putting aside Cong Nan's importance to the Nine Princes, it is very likely that Liu Nan will be killed by Cong Nan for the wanted reward.

Sun Yinbiao didn't want to think about the worst, but this thought involuntarily jumped into his head, for a while it was the appearance of the catkins dripping with blood, and for a while the catkins were untidy..... The intertwined scenes made Sun Yinbiao's blood run wild, hating the man named "Cong Nan", and hating himself even more for not being angry, and he was helpless when he watched the catkins being taken away.

The city gate opened slowly, and the sound of the "squeak" door shaft seemed to be imprinted on people's hearts, making people even more bored.

Sun Yinbiao took more than a dozen dart masters, rode on a big black horse, and stepped through the city gate. Raising the horsewhip, just about to ride the horse and shout "drive", I saw an old man put the ox cart on the right side of the city gate, with his back to a few people, calling for a person on the ox cart: "Willow catkins, willow catkins, don't sleep, go to the county seat." ”

Sun Yinbiao swallowed the word "driving" in his throat and rode to the ox cart.

I saw a small hand slowly stretched out in a large quilt on the ox cart, then pulled down the quilt, revealing a small head, yawned a long, big yawn, stretched a rather majestic lazy waist, and rubbed his eyes with his right hand.

When I opened my eyes, I saw more than a dozen tall horses riding beside the ox cart, and more than a dozen sturdy men sitting on it.

The men moved in unison, their eyes were surprised, and they stared at the little girl stretching her waist wildly on the ox cart.

The catkins were petrified on the ox cart when they landed, and the half-beaten yawn was swallowed back.

Sun Yinbiao stood at the front of the man, and when he saw that it was the catkins that poked out his head, his face bloomed with surprise for twelve points, and he hurriedly jumped off the horse, and said with a happy smile: "Are you safe and sound?" ”

Liu Wu touched the hair that was nested like a chicken's head, and then realized that he got into the quilt again like a loach, like a kitten washing his face, wiped off the eye feces with saliva, dry cleaned his face, and smoothed his hair, and then he drilled out with an embarrassed face.

jumped out of the carriage and saluted Sun Yinbiao and said, "I'm naturally safe and sound, thank you for your concern." ”

Sun Yinbiao had a big smile on his face, almost grinning to the root of his ears.
