At the end of the early dynasty, Li Tiantu, who was standing outside the South Suzaku Gate of the Imperial Palace, looked back again at the group of towering buildings behind him that symbolized the supreme imperial power of the entire Heavenly Empire, and sighed heavily.

He subconsciously raised his feet and turned to the southwest, but he remembered that he was no longer the commander of the forbidden army or the protector of Anxi, and returned to the cloth body, and the great commander's mansion, which symbolized the identity of the Son of Heaven, no longer belonged to him.

Li Tiantu pinched his fingers again and counted the time, and the day when he wanted to come to the Longmen Dart Bureau to exchange darts was approaching, he lowered his head and thought for a while, and walked towards the western suburbs of the Beijing Division.

Near the outer building of the Beijing suburbs, Li Tiantu met Ji Yuerong, who had just handed over the Colorful Zhenlong Pagoda to Ningma Ningji.

It seems that he didn't expect to meet Li Tiantu here, Ji Yuerong ran over with a look of surprise on her face, and said happily: "Brother Li, are you okay?" ”

Li Tiantu nodded with a smile and asked rhetorically, "Is the dart finished?" Yuerong, do you still want to take the opportunity to visit Jingshi? ”

Ji Yuerong, who had caused a lot of trouble for Li Tiantu because of her visit to Liangzhou City last night, blushed slightly, shook her head and said, "I just made an appointment with the two masters to give them the Zhenlong Pagoda here." Now that the mission is complete, my dad is waiting for me in front, and I'm going back. ”

"Then I'll send it to you." Li Tiantu said quietly, he still couldn't rest assured that moody woman, worried that she would send someone to do something to the Dragon Gate Dart Bureau.

Ji Yuerong really couldn't think of a reason to refuse, and she didn't want to refuse, so she hummed lightly and agreed.

The two of them traveled fifty miles to the west, and found a few empty dart carts left by the Longmen Dart Bureau in a forest next to the road, but none of the people in the dart board were missing, as if they had evaporated out of thin air.

Ji Yuerong looked at the strange scene in front of her, and her face changed slightly: "What is going on here?" Everything was fine when I was separated from my daddy. ”

Li Tiantu carefully checked the surroundings of the dart cart and found that there was no trace of a fight nearby, so he couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that the head of the dart suddenly has something urgent, and he abandoned the dart car and took people to go first?"

Ji Yuerong shook his head and said: "The people of our dart bureau cherish the dart car as if it were their own lives, even if they encounter an urgent matter, there is no reason not to leave anyone to watch." ”

"That is, the strength of the people who came is too strong, and they don't even have a chance to resist."

Li Tiantu suddenly remembered the kind-looking Fu Bo, and instantly had an ominous premonition in his heart, he immediately took the opportunity to stop his waist and grab Ji Yuerong's waist, jumped and turned over the horse and galloped towards the road he came.

Ji Yuerong, who was held in the arms of a man for the first time in her life, was a little uncomfortable at first, but when she saw the anxiety that Brother Li couldn't hide between her eyebrows, she was gradually relieved.

Li Tiantu quickly whipped up, and it only took more than an hour to arrive at Yan Mengyu's small building in the middle of the lake.

At this time, Yan Mengyu was stroking the piano on the verandah in the middle of the lake under the smoke and rain downstairs in the back yard of the small building in the middle of the lake, and Granny Yu stood quietly behind her.

Ji Yuerong was left in the front of the small hall in the center of the lake, and Li Tiantu went to the corridor in the center of the lake under the guidance of the restaurant maid.

Yan Mengyu looked at Li Tiantu, who was gradually approaching, and said with a hint of resentment on her face: "Xianggong, you are empathetic and don't fall in love so soon, and you still have other women with you here, don't you care about the feelings of the slave family at all?" ”

If it weren't for the net worth and lives of more than 20 Longmen Dart Bureau people, Li Tiantu really didn't want to see this gorgeous woman who made him love and hate, and had a skin-to-skin relationship with him.

He deliberately avoided Yan Mengyu's fiery gaze, and said calmly: "Where are the people from the Dragon Gate Dart Bureau?" ”

Yan Mengyu smiled and said softly: "The people from the Longmen Dart Bureau should be on the way back to the Western Regions at this time. ”

"You really don't know? Or are you deliberately pretending to be confused? Li Tiantu let out a low roar, stepped in front of Yan Mengyu, and looked at Yan Meiren condescendingly, with a cold face.

Yan Mengyuyu stroked the strings with her hand, the strings sounded swaying, and she smiled and said bitterly: "Li Tiantu, don't say I don't know, even if I know, I have no obligation to tell you, it's always okay, right?" Could it be that you still want to do it to me? ”

Li Tiantu sighed heavily, if this woman made up his mind not to admit it, what could he do? In desperation, he had to turn around and leave, and finally did not forget to whisper: "If they are still alive, please show mercy to the princess!" ”

"Brother Li, have you asked for the news?" Ji Yuerong was already waiting in the front hall, a little impatient.

Li Tiantu shook his head, "Although Princess Yan is well-informed in Jingshi, she doesn't know the news of your father's disappearance. Subconsciously, he couldn't help but cover for Yan Mengyu, who was the most suspicious.

Ji Yuerong didn't know that the real gold lord behind this nine-death thousand-mile dart was actually Yan Meiren, who was famous as a Jingshi, and he didn't doubt it, but the look of disappointment was written on his face.

Li Tiantu looked at the lost Ji Yuerong, suddenly felt a little distressed, and said softly: "Yuerong, maybe your father is really delayed by something else." I'm going back to Anxi, so I'll take you back by the way. ”

Ji Yuerong smiled reluctantly, and said with a heavy heart: "Brother Li, you don't have to comfort me." Yuerong was just thinking, if he hadn't happened to meet you in the western suburbs of Beijing, Yuerong might not have seen anyone alive or dead like his father. ”

The strength of the Ji Nuxia in front of him was far beyond Li Tiantu's expectations, and he really couldn't think of any other reason for comfort after racking his brains.

It was almost noon, and there were more and more diners in the small building in the middle of the lake, and Li Tiantu suddenly had the urge to drink. He pressed Ji Yuerong, whose cumin jade shoulders were trembling, on a nearby chair, sat down himself, and said loudly: "Little Er, the best wine!" ”

The speed at which the shopkeeper served the wine was a little slow, but when the two pots full of "drunk and free" were placed in the center of the table, Li Tiantu was obviously a little stunned, when did the most precious wine of the hostess of the small building in the middle of the lake be opened to the diners? Or does this woman know that she is not gone, and she is deliberately taking care of herself? He just wanted to stop the shopkeeper who was not far away and ask the reason, but Ji Yuerong on the opposite side picked up a pot of "drunk and free" and poured it into his mouth.

Shaking his head helplessly, Li Tiantu grabbed another pot and put it in front of him, this girl didn't know how powerful "drunk and free" was, she knew it very well.

Ji Yuerong poured a few sips of wine, and let out a long breath, the suppressed emotions in her heart seemed to be cathartic, and two tears were printed on her red pretty face at some point, and she held up the little remaining half pot of wine and said, "Brother Li, drink two glasses with me!" ”

Li Tiantu picked up the wine jug in front of him, raised it lightly, and drank most of it in one go, he knew that it would be futile to say more comforting words at this time, as long as he accompanied Ji Yuerong to drink together.

It didn't take long for the two pots of "Drunk and Happy" to be drunk by the two of them, and Ji Yuerong, whose face was getting more and more red, seemed to be still unsatisfied, holding her cheeks with both hands and whispering to the shopkeeper to continue serving.

It's just that before the little second brother could respond, Ji Nuxia slowly tilted her head and fell on the square table.

Li Tiantu shook his head, and regardless of the strange eyes of the nearby drinkers, he hugged Ji Yuerong and went to the guest room on the second floor.
