The agitated sound of the piano continued to sound until the hour before it gradually stopped, but there was no response.

Yue sat motionless on the porch, with her back to the closed door, until the sound of the piano finally stopped, when she abruptly stood up and opened her door.

Almost at the same time, Xing opened the door and walked out, and then remembered a knock on the door.

Outside the door was the breath of punishment, Qi Su, who had not yet fallen asleep, glanced at Yue, but saw that she was just indifferently looking at the slightly trembling door in front of her, until the knocking stopped but did not respond at all.

The torture stood silently outside the door for a long time, and there was no more movement.

A thin door panel seemed to suddenly turn into an insurmountable chasm between the two.

Qi Su's heart moved, and a trace of indescribable strangeness flashed, but he never mustered up the courage to open the closed door.

No one knows how long it took for him to finally return to his room, but he never slept that night.

Maybe even if Yue opened the door, he didn't know how to explain it.

With Di Hao's current situation, the slightest carelessness may lead to the loss of his soul, and even if everything goes well, there is no way to repair his divine consciousness without hundreds of years.

However, if Si Yan can be recovered, with her support, Di Hao will be safe, and it will greatly help Di Hao's soul repair. Although he himself can also replenish the soul, he is not good at this, plus his divine power is restricted, even if he takes action in person, I am afraid that it will have little effect, not to mention that the current situation does not allow him to distract himself from gathering souls for Di Hao.

In this way, finding Si Yan has become the last resort but also the best choice.

However, Si Yan is another dead knot between him and Yue after all.

Even if Yue was willing to believe him, even if she understood the reason why he insisted on finding Si Yan, it was impossible for her to accept it willingly no matter what.

He hesitated for a long time and finally made this decision, he deliberately hid it from her, but even he didn't know what the point of doing it was.

Perhaps it was because he was hiding it from her that it made the matter more complicated and difficult to explain.

But every time the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them.

How to say that?

Said that he finally decided to find Si Yan?

Say he's for Di Hao?

Say that he will never have anything to Si Yan?

He imagined a million words in his heart, but in the end, he found that no matter what he said, he was only pale and weak.

Because no matter what it is, it can't change this fact, Si Yan is coming back.

She will definitely return, for it is the punishment that summons her.

No matter what feelings she still had for him, she would definitely come back, if only to see him one last time.

And all this, you don't have to say it, Yue can guess it.

It's better to say that in his heart, he even secretly expects Yue to stop him, even if he knows it's nonsense, but even if it's only once, he hopes that you can abandon your reason and simply be an ordinary woman who will be jealous and jealous, instead of the night god who is too rational and too penetrating.

But in the end, she still didn't do anything.

Even though he had always loved her, he felt nothing but deep powerlessness when he looked at the closed door.

Her reason and forbearance were not only his greatest luck, but they were also like a cold wall that kept out the hands he wanted to embrace her, and he couldn't even talk about pampering and comforting, and finally he could only stop outside the door, his heart was like a knife.

Upstairs, Qi Su's room was already dark and silent, and the shopkeeper downstairs heard a knock on the door but lit a candle.

What kind of piano is played in the middle of the night, playing like a ghost crying wolf, how can it be compared with the moving warbler song and swallow dance on the other side, and let people not sleep.

Finally, when the sound of the piano finally stopped, there was another knock at the door.

The shopkeeper's head was hot, and he almost wanted to scream and scold as usual, but when he thought about the action and momentum of this group of people, he forcibly held back those few swear words.

At the same time, a fire suddenly broke out in the city of Yudu, a hundred miles away, burning down a cow in the restaurant that was popular all over the Qi country.

The fire started strangely, and it was the dead of night, when others found out that the fire was out, the fire had already gone out of control, and it was not extinguished until dawn the next day, and no one escaped, only a few corpses were found in the ruins, which had long been burned.

Early the next morning, Xing and his party got up and hurried as usual, as if the incident of playing the qin last night was just a dream, but they were still unaware of the tragedy hundreds of miles away.

Yue originally thought that they would just go straight to the north by passing through the Huai River, but they didn't expect that after crossing the river, the punishment went straight to Huaihe City.

Huaihe City is built along the river as its name suggests, although it is not the national capital for hundreds of years, but it has been prestigious, all because the Huaihe River Basin extends in all directions, not only connecting all parts of Qi Country and can even directly enter the northern country by boat, so that Huaihe City has become a holy place for business travelers.

Although Yue has heard of the prosperity of Huaihe City many times, even surpassing Yudu, he has never seen it with his own eyes.

Seeing that entering the city, it was really lively, although it was still during the national funeral, black flags were still hanging in front of every house, but many shops and vendors had already opened their doors to do business.

The streets are full of people, and if it were in normal times, it would be even more lively.

Several people entered Huaihe City from the west gate, and walked all the way east along the Huaihe River, crossing the entire Huaihe City, and the east gate could be vaguely seen, and the punishment finally stopped in front of a mansion with a high walled compound.

A pair of stone lions in front of the door are majestic, but there is only a very simple plaque hanging on the door, on which are written two big characters of dragon flying and phoenix dancing, Lu Fu.

If you change to a person who knows the goods, you can see at a glance that this seemingly ordinary plaque base material is a good yellow pear that is hard to find.

actually used the best huanghuali to make such a tattered plaque that is exposed to the wind and sun every day, which is really a tyrannical thing, a tyrannical thing.

However, in the eyes of this unscrupulous person, it is just a tattered wooden plaque.

Perhaps in the eyes of the owner here, no matter how good Huanghuali is, it is just a piece of broken wood that can be used to make a plaque.

The group stopped at the door of the mansion, and the housekeeper who guarded the door saw that several people were extraordinary, and immediately greeted them.

Yue thought that the style of punishment would not take care of these family members, and most of them were simple and convenient to break in, but he didn't expect that the punishment did not go straight this time, but stretched out his hand and picked the most colorful flower from a tree standing a few feet away, and then handed the flower to the family who came up, only saying that they would know it at a glance.

The family Ding hesitantly took the flower, frowned and looked between the three of them repeatedly, and remembered that Fang Caixing's hand picking flowers in the air didn't look like an ordinary person, etc., and after hesitating for a long time, he still walked into the mansion with the flower in his hand.

It was only a moment after the family entered the house that he heard a noise inside, and a calm and restrained middle-aged man walked out quickly, followed by the confused family member from Fang Cai.

The middle-aged man walked up to the torture and whispered "Lord", and the torturer only nodded slightly in response. The middle-aged man didn't say anything more, and immediately led the way and led the group into the mansion.

Although this mansion is not as good as the regulations of the palace and the royal palace, it is also very elegantly arranged, but the most special thing is that the left side of the mansion is divided into a separate courtyard, and from the small window of the courtyard wall, it is faintly visible that it is full of cloth of various colors. The middle-aged man took a few people into the inner courtyard, and asked a few servants to take Yue and Qi Su down to settle down first, but the sentence intercepted the middle-aged man's words, and only ordered the servants to take care of Qi Su.

A hint of surprise flashed on the middle-aged man's face, and he glanced at Yue silently, but changed to a clear look.

Yue looked at the middle-aged man carefully, and always felt that his appearance had a bit of northern characteristics, which was not obvious, and it was probably difficult to detect in the eyes of ordinary people, but Yue was used to seeing Amber Da and Hu Er, and then looked at this middle-aged man, and found that there was a bit of a striking similarity.

Xing Heyue followed the man into the main hall, and a plaque was hung above the main hall with the words "heaven and earth" written on it, and there were only a few sets of tables and chairs in the hall, and there was no luxury.

But Yue didn't know that this Huaihe City was a place where every inch of land was valuable, and it was far from enough to build a mansion in this Huaihe City with a solid family background.

What's more, with the scale of this Lu Mansion, I am afraid that he is also one of the best people in this Huaihe City.

But unexpectedly, as soon as Xing and Yue sat down, the man knelt down on one knee in front of Xing.

"Lu Chongguang see the Lord."

"Lu Chongguang?"

Before he could reply, Yue repeated the name in a low voice, squinting his eyes slightly and staring at Lu Chongguang who was kneeling on the ground.

"The girl really knows me, so it seems that the rumors are true."

"What rumors?"

Yue also wanted to delve into Lu Chongguang's matter, but was tortured into the conversation, Lu Chongguang hesitated to look between the two for a long time, and finally reluctantly spoke.

"It has already been spread throughout the Qi Kingdom, and there is a demon girl with a different surname who is of unknown origin and suspicious, not only fascinated the King of Yongning, who has always been kind-hearted, but even the mysterious and mighty King of the North also bowed down under his skirt, and even did not hesitate to break into the palace of Qi alone, not only ruining the wedding of King Yongning, but also taking the demon girl away from the palace with his own hands. Emperor Jing relapsed and died suddenly because of this incident, and the regent was even more furious and ashamed, which led to a war between the two countries, and it was estimated that war would start soon. ”

"Heh, what a suspicious demon girl of the opposite sex."

As soon as Lu Chongguang's words were finished, Xing laughed indifferently, and Yue also showed a helpless expression.

It seems that her reputation is no longer stinky in both the North and Qi Kingdoms, and everyone thinks that she is a demon who has confused the kings of the two countries, not only is she famous for her water-based poplars, but she is even a demon girl who directly provoked the war between the two countries.

"Mr. Lu is really ridiculous, compared to your lord, I am just a colorless saltless girl at all, where did I do something to bring disaster to the country and the people."
