The border of the country is an endless desert, and the desert in the day is like a golden sea, shining like ten thousand points of golden light under the scorching sun.

At this moment, the sun is setting. A round sunset pressed against the ridge of the desert, and the earth was called dull and dark, revealing a layer of dark red; The desert waves that held the setting sun froze, like a sleeping sea.

Two men in a tavern in a small town on the border of the country were among them. I don't know if they don't have time to enjoy the scenery, or if they are used to it. Right now, the cloaked two were whispering in the most inconspicuous corner of the tavern.

"When will you be back, my lord?" The man in the dark cloak looked a little anxious, "The country can't be without an owner for a day!" It's been so long, and now some courtiers have begun to question it, I'm afraid that the fake king you found won't last a few days. ”

"Let him support me, if he can't do it, he will pretend to be sick." The man in the light cloak thought for a moment, "Do you know who took the lead in questioning?" ”

"Lord Chahe." The man in the dark cloak said in embarrassment: "He is a veteran of two generations, and many officials look to him as the leader. Being a minister is really helpless! ”

"Well, I guess he's the only one who dares." The man in the light-colored cloak asked the shopkeeper to take a pen and paper, wrote a few words, and handed them to the person in the dark-cloaked cara. "You give this to Chah, and the matter will be resolved. I can't come back yet. ”

The dark-cloaked man carefully put away the note before saying, "By the way, I heard that Ruoshui Country has recently made some moves on the border of Yuexi Country. Does the king know? Shall we ······?"

"Don't act rashly!" The man in the light cloak interrupted the man in the dark cloak, "If you don't care about the affairs of the water country, you just need to remember that what we need now is hibernation, and you must not come up at this time." ”

The dark-cloaked man nodded, not daring to disobey. He turned his words and said: "A few days ago, the lord of Liguo wrote a letter to report: Some time ago, someone seemed to inquire about the attack on Pei's husband and wife in Liguo ten years ago. From the words in the letter, it can be seen that the lord of Liguo is a little worried. ”

The man in the light-colored cloak snorted coldly, "You repair the book with him in my tone, and let him relax and be the lord of his country." He was never involved in this matter. His tone was full of disdain.

"Yes."

"By the way, did you send the letter I asked you to send?"

"I sent someone to send it dozens of days ago, but I haven't received a reply yet." The dark-cloaked man replied truthfully.

The man in the light cloak sighed softly, "Looks like he's still blaming me for my decision, let him go!" ”

The man in the light cloak drank the last glass of wine and got up, "It's not too early, you can go!" I'm going back too, and I'm going to have something to do. ”

"Yes."

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

In order to avoid all the eyeliner of the Queen Mother, Zhao Qingcheng was in the secret room in the outer village. Except for him and the four dark guards in this secret room, no one else knew about the existence here, not even Ye Xizhi.

The reason why Zhao Qingcheng didn't tell Ye Xizhi was not because he didn't trust him, but because he was afraid of implicating Ye Xizhi. If the events of that year were verified by him, Zhao Qingcheng would definitely take action. If it doesn't work out, not only will Ye Xizhi, who has a close relationship with him, be implicated, but even the people in the Taishi Mansion may be held accountable. This is really not what Zhao Qingcheng is happy to see.

"It's been a few days since I chased my soul to Ruoshui Country, but do you have any news to report back?" Zhao Qingcheng sat in the hall and asked the three people who were half-kneeling in front of him.

"Not yet." Fatal replied.

"Hmm." Zhao Qingcheng thought for a while, and the expression on his face was still not angry.

"Master, the thing that Liu Rumeng ······ do" She wanted to speak and stopped, just because she saw Zhao Qingcheng's face in the hall change slightly.

Zhao Qingcheng felt a little disgusted when he heard this name, and he waved his hand: "You don't have to worry about this matter, let her leave the Xunhuan Pavilion after tomorrow." As for the place to go, Ye Gongzi will arrange it. He didn't want Liu Rumeng to stay in the Joy Pavilion anymore, he was afraid that she would cause trouble in the future.

"Yes." Broken intestines take orders.

"Wuxin, what's wrong with what this king asked you to investigate?"

"When I returned to my master, it was confirmed that it was indeed this person. The subordinates have solved the problem according to the master's words. ”

"Are there any flaws?"

"Nope. The people sent by the palace are also supposed to have drowned after he fell into the water while drunk. ”

"Good." Zhao Qingcheng is very satisfied with this matter. "You go back and instruct you to go down, and from now on, no one's 'eyes' will be allowed to step into King Yan's mansion, especially the palace."

The three of them replied in unison, "Yes." ”

Yan Wangfu has eyeliner in the palace, Zhao Qingcheng knew about it. It can even be said that this eyeliner can survive in the palace because Zhao Qingcheng wants to keep it alive. In this way, Zhao Qingcheng can use this person's mouth to pass on his daily life into the palace, so that someone in the palace can feel relieved.

And now this person's death is only because Zhao Qingcheng doesn't want him to live. After all, at this time and at that time, the existence of Li Weixi has made this person an obstacle. Zhao Qingcheng wants the one in the palace to know, and then let that person know nothing, so that he can mess with himself, and Zhao Qingcheng will have a chance to catch her.

"Take your life, you go and find out where the man in black who led the way for this king that night came from." This is also something that Zhao Qingcheng has always been concerned about. After all, the sudden appearance of such a "well-wisher" really couldn't let him go; And this person's martial arts may not be below him, if such a person is really in a hostile situation with him, it will be really troublesome.

"Yes."

Zhao Qingcheng stood up, "I don't want to stay, both of you can retreat!" ”

"Yes."

took his life and broke his intestines to lead the way and left, leaving only Zhao Qingcheng and Wuxin in the secret room. Zhao Qingcheng deliberately supported them, he had something to say alone and unintentionally.

Zhao Qingcheng got up and came to Wuxin. "From now on, you only have one task," Zhao Qingcheng glanced at him with a little meaning, "It is to protect your 'young lady'." He deliberately accentuated the word "miss."

Wuxin, who was half-kneeling on the ground, was stunned when he heard this, and he looked up at Zhao Qingcheng in surprise.

"From the beginning of this Wang Da's take-in, he knew that you were the person who was next to the former Hou Ye."

In addition to his unintentional first-class skills, his identity is also the reason why Zhao Qingcheng left him. After all, for the late Hou Ye, Zhao Qingcheng was somewhat guilty. Although it is natural for the prince and the minister to save him and protect him, the things of the year are not included in one sentence.

"Master, since you all know, why did you take in your subordinates back then?" I was really curious, could it be that Zhao Qingcheng was not afraid that he would take the opportunity to retaliate. After all, his benefactor, the Marquis of Zhongyi, died because of Zhao Qingcheng.

"You have learned a good martial arts, and this king is thirsty for talent, so he will naturally leave you behind." Zhao Qingcheng replied truthfully.

"Isn't the master afraid of his subordinates ······?" Wuxin's next words were not spoken.

Zhao Qingcheng chuckled, "This king believes that you will blame this king for Hou Ye's death, but this king also believes that you will not harm this king because of this." ”

Zhao Qingcheng's words will deeply penetrate Wuxin's heart, and he will be completely impressed. At that time, he had no intention of joining Zhao Qingcheng's secret guard just to wait for an opportunity to take revenge, although Hou Ye was not killed by Zhao Qingcheng, but he died because of Zhao Qingcheng. At first, he couldn't find a suitable opportunity, but then he dismissed the idea himself.

The reason for this is that he has no intention of following Zhao Qingcheng for a long time, and he finds that this matter is not as simple as he imagined. Hou Ye's death seems to have another mystery, and Zhao Qingcheng is also a victim. And over the years, Zhao Qingcheng has spared no effort to explore the truth, so that he regards Zhao Qingcheng as the new master in his heart.

In his unintentional eyes, whether Zhao Qingcheng's purpose was for himself, or the Hou Ye and the more than a dozen lives of the Hou Mansion, he was willing to follow behind him. Because only in this way can he have a chance to find the real enemy and avenge the souls of the Hou Ye and the Hou Mansion.

What's more, now that Zhao Qingcheng has married Li Wei, who is the only young lady who has no intention of being the only lady, he will not hesitate to be the princess, then he has no reason to betray Zhao Qingcheng, and he will never harm Zhao Qingcheng.

Wuxin clenched his hands into fists gratefully and said, "Thank you for your trust!" The subordinates will not fail their masters and humiliate their mission. "He sincerely regards Zhao Qingcheng as his master.

Zhao Qingcheng nodded with satisfaction, "Go down!" ”

"Yes." Unintentionally retreated silently.

Zhao Qingcheng remained alone in the secret room, holding the draft law that he did not hesitate to revise. Yes, he took them to the Chamber of Secrets. One is to avoid unnecessary trouble caused by placing it in the palace; The second is that Zhao Qingcheng plans to bind it into a book in person, so that it can be easily read when he has time in the future.

Looking at the hand-copied Xiaokai in his hand, which had been bound into a book, Zhao Qingcheng unconsciously remembered the owner of the handwriting. In just a few days, Li Weixi has left a deep mark on his heart. She is sometimes wise and intelligent, sometimes gentle and considerate, sometimes sharp-toothed, sometimes indifferent and unkind, so that Zhao Qingcheng can't help but want to pay attention to her.

Thinking of what Li didn't hesitate to say during the day, Zhao Qingcheng couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. "Is she exploring the bottom of this king, or is she instigating this king to raise an army?" Zhao Qing said to himself.

In this way, this should not be underestimated! Perhaps, tomorrow the court will open for interrogation, and he should go and see for himself. It is also a pleasure to see Li not hesitate to face his opponent calmly, and never back down with sharp teeth, and refute it without leaving any room. As for whether his appearance will make people reminisce, Zhao Qingcheng is not worried, he has already prepared 10,000 reasons in his heart to dispel everyone's associations.

Just when I went to the hearing tomorrow, I sent Liu Rumeng away by the way, and asked Ye Xizhi to find a place to place her by himself.

Yesterday, he was entrusted with the confession of the person involved in the Xunhuan Pavilion, although he did not go out in person, but the confession that was taken back by the person he secretly sent Zhao Qingcheng also had a slight appearance; With his ingenuity, he naturally immediately roughly guessed the ins and outs of the incident. Although he felt that Qian Yuanhang was disdainful, Liu Rumeng's behavior made Zhao Qingcheng even more disgusted; This is the reason why he is eager to let Liu Rumeng move out of the Joy Pavilion.

When he thought of the bits and pieces of his childhood, it was for the sake of Ye Xizhi's face that he kindly took action to temporarily place Liu Rumeng in Xunhuan Pavilion. At the moment, it seems that his kindness is a bit redundant, and this is a bit too long for the time being, so he must resolve the matter as soon as possible. Zhao Qingcheng faintly felt that with Liu Rumeng's personality and temper, if she left her in the Joy Pavilion, she would definitely become a scourge in the future.

Zhao Qingcheng had bound the draft law that he did not hesitate to revise into a book, he opened a secret compartment and put it in, and then slowly left the secret room.
