When the princess's mansion was on fire, Li Qianzhong, the embroidery division, was patrolling the city on horseback and leading the team.

Suddenly, there was a great chaos, and people shouted: "There is a fire!" The princess's mansion is on fire! ”

"Look at the man in black with a sword! She did it! ”

"So handsome!!"

Li Qianzhong grabbed the reins, and when he looked up, he saw a figure speeding past the roof. The little Qianhu next to him put up a pergola with his hands: "Commander Shi, why does this person look a little familiar?" ”

Li Qianzhong maintained a posture of tilting his head and did not make a sound.

The lantern swayed, the light and shadow were hazy, Xiao Qianhu rubbed his eyes and muttered: "Look at that back, it seems to be our Li Zongqi?" ”

Li Qian glanced at his subordinates, didn't say a word, and turned the horse's head.

The fluttering cloak disappeared into the night.

Back at the Embroidery Division, Li Chengle and Li Chengfu were practicing swords in the courtyard, and when they saw the master coming back, they respectfully shouted "Hello Master". Li Qianzhong turned over and dismounted, and asked in a deep voice as he strode into the room, "Where is your junior sister?" ”

Li Chengle said: "In the afternoon, she rested, and she probably went to the night market to play." ”

Li Qianzhong frowned: "You mean, she never came back?" ”

Li Chengfu wiped his sword on the side and hummed: "Does she still know to come back?" Last time I was in Gufu, I was crazy until midnight! It was sent back by Xinyang Jun Gu Lanting! Hey, brother, why are you stepping on my feet...... What I said is true, if you don't believe it, ask the master to ask the master brother to go! ”

Li Chengle was busy playing the round: "Master, don't worry, my junior sister knows martial arts, no one dares to mess with her in the whole street, even if someone dares to mess with her, her light skills are also the best in our company, and the eaves walk on the wall without a shadow......"

It's because the light work is so good that I'm worried! Li Qianzhong didn't want to listen to this nonsense: "You look at her for the teacher, that's how you look at it?" ”

Li Chengfu muttered: "Then you have to watch it......" Before he finished speaking, he was stepped on by his senior brother again, and was about to fight back, Li Qianzhong was already slightly angry: "Go and call Jinghong." ”

Xie Jinghong was sorting out the case file in the study, and immediately came over when he heard the message.

Li Qianzhong sat down in the front hall, waved his hand to let Chengle Chengfu retreat, and said, "Get Ah Huan back immediately." ”

"Yes." Xie Jinghong replied solemnly, "Go find it immediately." As he was talking, he suddenly heard a report outside: "Commander Shi, Xinyangjun is visiting." ”

Gu Taishi and Li Qianzhong have no intersection, Gu Lanting visited the embroidery department at night at this hour? The entourage did not dare to assert his own opinions, and waited for the commander Shi to respond.

For this Gu family with old grievances, Li Qianzhong neither dislikes nor likes it.

Although both of them are recognized as close ministers of the emperor, in addition to the unavoidable official exchanges, they are almost always alienated from "what concerns me and what matters to you" on weekdays. As if they were ready to maintain the tacit understanding that this well water does not interfere with the river water, they consumed each other and entered the loess mound with the scar like a fish in the throat.

Regarding Xinyangjun's sudden visit, he didn't have any other superfluous emotions. I just took the tea set, quietly watched the water turn to boil, and then slowly poured in the tea foam.

Xie Jinghong said expressionlessly: "I'll go and tell him that you haven't come back yet." ”

"As an official of the imperial court, there should be a clear distinction between public and private." Li Qianzhong raised his eyes and poured tea into the tea bowl, "As a teacher, you should also keep this truth in mind." ”

"Yes." Xie Jinghong's eyes sank, "Retire in vain." ”

On the corridor of the wing room, a few small thousands of households did not sleep at all, and were looking out of the gate with their shoulders hooked. Just because there was a special guest outside the door.

This person is wearing a white brocade robe, with gray-blue silk around his waist, his eyebrows and eyes are handsome, and his temperament is elegant. The embroidery division is full of people who practice martial arts, and there is a chivalrous and murderous aura everywhere, and suddenly there is such a young man standing at the door, which immediately attracted the curious eyes of countless people who eat melons. Everyone gave full play to the excellent characteristics of investigating and handling cases, and gossiped about him from head to toe.

"Who is this person? It's so handsome. ”

"I don't know, but at first glance, he is a rich and powerful person!"

"More agile than scholars, quieter than martial artists, I can't guess what I do."

"Look at that standing posture, this is a kind of uprightness that only comes when you often go in and out of the court!"

"Look at that demeanor, it must be the demeanor of a son of a family!"

"Yes, yes, yes, and the jade plate on my waist...... Boom, it seems to be a Gu word? ”

Xie Jinghong stepped out of the door, and everyone's gossip penetrated into his ears. He glanced at it coldly, and the crowd immediately dispersed.

Gu Lanting and Li Qianzhong are both officials of the third grade, so they don't have to wait outside the door, but the Gu family has always adhered to etiquette and refused to make the slightest mistake, so even if they waited for a full stick of incense, they didn't have any emotions. But when Xie Jinghong walked down the stone steps, the oncoming coldness still made him frown slightly.

However, Gu Lanting's skill of not squinting was already superb, and Xie Jinghong's ice-like eyes did not enter his line of sight.

Li Chengle came up and led the horse for him: "Master is busy just now, let Xinyangjun wait for a long time, please forgive me." ”

"It doesn't matter." Gu Lanting handed the reins to Li Chengle, and glanced at a team of small Qianhu who were fully dressed and urged out with swords.

They were all covered with armor.

On the way here, he had heard about the fire in the princess's mansion, but the affairs of the princess's mansion did not need the intervention of the embroidery department, which was only responsible for restraining discipline and maintaining law and order.

Therefore, the affairs of the princess's mansion are related to the embroidery division.

Gu Lanting glanced at the weapon rack in front of the hall more, and then followed Li Chengle into the inner hall casually.

Li Qianzhong put a pot of tea and a cup on the desk, watched the young man carry it inside, then got up and arched his hand: "Xinyangjun is coming, please forgive me." ”

Gu Lanting also bowed his hand: "The younger generation has seen Master Shi. ”

The two of them sat down, and Li Qianzhong got straight to the point: "Visiting late at night, Xinyangjun encountered a problem, right?" ”

He asked this openly and honestly, as if he was telling Gu Lanting: I have long guessed that you have asked me, and I also have this ability, but I may not necessarily help.

Gu Lanting smiled slightly, and said slowly: "There is a family member of the younger generation who got lost on Changxi Street tonight. This matter should not have bothered Master Li, but this family member had been rescued by Li Zongqi twice, and the younger generation was worried about whether Li Zongqi would be involved again, so he came to take a look. ”

A passage easily cracked Li Qianzhong's heavy armor that did not enter the oil and salt.

After entering the palace at the age of seven and staying in the Hanlin Academy for twelve years, Gu Lanting has long been proficient in the art of clever tongues, and is familiar with how to subdue the enemy in a few words.

He didn't say that Princess Yiyang had arrested someone, nor did he say that the princess's mansion was on fire, he put aside everything related to the Gu Mansion, and only lightly proposed the most critical person: Li Chenghuan may also be in the princess's mansion.

It was a question, but it became a certainty the moment you walked through the door.
