A yellow leaf fluttered and landed on the top of the head of a large stone lion on the right at the entrance of the Dragon Scale Palace......

This was the fourth fallen leaf that the sheep had seen this year, and he stared at the yellow leaf intently, as if there was some secret on the yellow leaf.

The little eunuch Le Cong looked at the back of the sheep in the window, a little afraid, and only after half a sound did he muster up the courage to say softly: "Your Highness, the black duck has sent it to expedite the land for a hundred miles." ”

Ji Yang, who had been listening to the important affairs of the Japanese military aircraft for a whole day, turned to Le Cong happily when he heard Le Cong's voice and said, "I said Congcong, can't you talk to me louder? ”

Le Cong repeated: "Your Highness was sent by the front line of the land. ”

"What tricks is the old guy playing again?!" Jiyang has never regarded Le Cong as an outsider, and has always been open-mouthed in front of him.

Jiyang took the leg bone from Le Cong's hand and took out the secret letter, which was only two lines.

"Lady of the Sheep, the demon clan is powerful, and I have no time to take care of everything in the palace for the time being. Secret Decree: You have arrived at Tianning Temple when you see the secret letter, you should quickly go to Situ Qing, just in case. ”

"Le Cong, do you know when the last secret decree from Tianning Temple arrived before you got the secret letter?"

Le Cong tilted his head and thought about it and replied, "It must be half an hour!"

......

Half an hour ago, the north gate of Zixiao City rushed into a fast ride. After entering the city, the fast ride did not slow down, and the place where the fast ride passed was like being baptized by the wind. Not a single common man complained about the tyranny of the riders and the huge losses they had brought to themselves.

The Falcon Rider is a military information officer directly under the Tianning Temple, and the nine gates in the clouds have to respect them for three points, not to mention ordinary people.

The fact that the solo movement that has just passed so fast seems to indicate that something important is happening again at the front.

The little ant saw that he was hiding in the crowd, and he had been watching the falcon ride disappear from sight, and after confirming that it had entered the lower courtyard of Tianning Temple, he hurried to the cold house.

Shaoyi, who had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time, saw the little ant snorting and rushing in, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?

The little ant nodded to Shaoyi again and again while holding the teapot and drinking tea.

"Okay, you go to the backyard and rest. Tell Goo Goo and I'll go back. ”

Shaoyi had just bypassed the corner of Weisi Street and almost collided with the carriages and horses of Jiyang and Situ Qing. He recognized the coachman on Situ Qing's leaning over, a tall and dumb man.

Ji Yang and Situ Qing did not stop at the gate of the Tianning Temple Mansion, but went straight to the lower courtyard of Tianning Temple.

Shaoyi entered Yan Laiqi, the largest restaurant in Dongcheng diagonally opposite the entrance of the lower courtyard of Tianning Temple, and walked directly to the counter to show the shopkeeper Ji Kang'er an arrow that he had left for him earlier.

The shopkeeper asked for a while, and in a blink of an eye, a young boy came and led him to the attic on the top floor of the restaurant. Arrange a pot of tea and turn away.

Since Jiahai's conquest of the Northland, Yanlaiqi is one of the few restaurants in the clouds that is still doing business normally.

Except for Shaoyi, no one among the outsiders knew who its owner was, and if it weren't for the extraordinary times, Shaoyi wouldn't take the risk of borrowing this piece of pure land.

Standing in front of the west-facing window of the attic on the top floor of Yanlaiqi, one less can clearly see all the houses in the lower courtyard of Tianning Temple through the thin window paper like cicada wings. When he came to the window, the four ministers of Tianning Temple came out from the second gate to greet Ji Yang and Situ Qing.

Seeing the six people entering the house, Shaoyi quickly returned to the large square chair next to the tea table and sat down.

Keep your feet firmly on your feet, rest your hands naturally flat on your knees, close your eyes, and inhale the last wisp of tea.

The mind has abandoned the sense of touch, attached the mind to the dead leaves of a locust tree in the lower courtyard of Tianning Temple, and quietly waited for a gust of wind to blow it down.

By this time, he could already hear the conversation of several people in the room.

......

"The stakes are very high, I am afraid that many ministers will be dissatisfied, so it is better to preach in front of the ministers in the main hall tomorrow. Situ Qing preached to the young and crazy Sheep.

The second cabinet minister among the four cabinet ministers agreed: "I agree with Zuo Shuling's suggestion, the king has been away from Yunzhong for a long time, and there will inevitably be changes in the court, so it is better to be cautious." ”

The sheep asked impatiently, "Where is the secret decree now, and what instructions does the king have?"

Situ Qing saw that the four ministers looked at each other and did not answer Ji Yang's question, so he handed Ji Yang a glance and signaled him to be calm.

A gust of wind brought a yellow locust tree to the half-open windowsill, just after the sheep's gaze had left the windowsill.

Shaoyi could feel the tension between the six people in the room, and Ji picked up and put down the teacup, and then picked it up again. The expressions of the four ministers became more and more nervous, they all felt that the killing opportunity of the Sheep had sprouted, and they did not react, expecting the Sheep to open up to them.

"Your Highness, I won't tell you that there is indeed a secret plan on the front line of Daidi that arrived more than half an hour ago, but it was swept away by a black smoke less than a quarter of an hour before His Highness arrived. The Prime Minister knelt down and prayed.

Jiyang sneered, "Did you see the black smoke alone, or did all four of you see it?"

"Your Highness, only the lowly one has seen it. ”

Ji Yang lay on his back to Situ Qing and said softly to the minister of the first cabinet of Tianning Temple: "I helped you find it, don't ......lose it if you take it."

As he spoke, he quietly handed the fake secret decree in his sleeve in advance to the minister of the first cabinet and patted the minister on the shoulder.

Situ Qing looked at the yellow leaf on the windowsill, and turned to Jiyang: "It's autumn, and the night will get longer and longer. ”

Shaoyi's hearing of the black smoke reminded him of the many times he had been attacked by the Great Weir River in the early days, and he didn't know if it was the same as the black smoke in the mouth of the Prime Minister. It was not difficult to find from the tone of Ji Yang's voice that he was not surprised by the appearance of black smoke, and Zuo Shuling on the side didn't seem to take the loss of the secret decree seriously at all.

The two of them seem to have known what happened, and the reason why they appeared in the lower courtyard of Tianning Temple was nothing more than a show.

......

Shaoyi slowly got up and walked to the window to watch Jiyang and Situ Qing leave, and their conversation just now made Shaoyi confirm his conjecture - after Jiahai went north, Situ Qing completely changed as if he was being controlled by some mysterious force.

Before leaving Yanlaiqi, he left a note for the shopkeeper to send someone to secretly watch the movements of the lower courtyard of Tianning Temple. After he was separated from Situ Qing, he attempted to come to Zuo Shuling's Mansion in Xicheng behind Situ Qing's carriage and horse.

Shaoyi noticed that the mute coachman got out of the car and followed Situ Qing into the hall, which was completely unreasonable, how could a coachman with no status follow his master into the hall?

He recalled the coldness in the dumb eyes on the corner of Weisi Street, and although he deliberately pretended to be stupid to hide his shrewdness, he could still feel that the dumb man had an unusual power.

After the two entered the hall, a little brother came out, and Shaoyi recognized that this little brother was the little eldest son next to Jiyang.

"Little eldest son, why did you get to Uncle Zuo's Mansion to do things?"

Seeing that it was Shaoyi, the little eldest son shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Hey, only the master chooses the slave, then it is the matter of the slave choosing the master! I was given to Lord Zuo Shuling by His Royal Highness a few months ago." ”

A few months ago, I gave it to Uncle Zuo...... Shaoyi felt that he was not far from the truth.

The little eldest son led the horse and asked Shaoyi, "What kind of wind blew you here?" I haven't seen you for a few days. ”

"Oh, I was just passing through. Seeing that the mute man followed Uncle Zuo into the hall regardless of Ma Yangchang, he felt a little strange. I don't want to bump into you here. ”

"Hey, this dumb ......" The little eldest swallowed the words back, looked back and whispered to Shaoyi: "Young brother, if you don't dislike it." After my brother has accepted this brute, how about we go to the Hu Yidao Noodle Restaurant on the other street to eat a bowl of shaved noodles? The taste is no less than that of Qiu Ji Noodle Restaurant in the south of the city. ”

Shaoyi is happy in his heart, this little boy is really on the road, and he can get through it at one point. This is nowhere to find the iron shoes!

......

The sun has set, and Hu Yidao's noodle restaurant is already full of people.

While greeting the work in the store, the little eldest son turned his head and said to Shaoyi: "The liveliness here is only because of Qiu Ji, and the reason why I like it here is not only because of the good noodles." What's more, there is a private room on the second floor, which is perfect for meeting members. ”

Shaoyi sighed that the little eldest son had already left the school, and he had the style of mixing Qiu Ji that day.

"Or the same three?" asked the little eldest who pulled out a chair for Shaoyi.

"Little black, the old three, remember to put more vegetables and less salt. ”

"Gotta come~"

"Jiazijian No. C, two bowls of shaved noodles, two heads of garlic, a pot of old Chen, more vegetables and less salt, the old three~" Xiao Heizi shouted loudly and came downstairs.

"After the king left, the palace was all messed up by His Royal Highness. He was bent on taking this opportunity to take the position, so the little ones had more careers. And you see that dumb man, he is not a citizen of Da Zhou, don't be frightened when you say it......" Xiao Heizi interrupted his words with a shaved face, took out a few pieces of broken silver and handed them to Xiao Heizi and instructed him: "Help my brother bring the door and take it to the bar with a little heart!"

Shaoyi poured tempting old vinegar into each of the two bowls, put the vinegar aside and began to peel the garlic while asking: "So my old classmate doesn't look like letting Wang Shang come back? He's quite anxious! But this dumb brother really can't get down to me, I've already guessed that he is probably a demon warrior!"

The little eldest son took a bite of garlic and didn't swallow it, when he heard Shaoyi's words, he glanced at Shaoyi, swallowed garlic and said, "Since you know everything, why do you ask me what to do?"

"Why, do you have to have something to do to sit down and eat together?"

The little eldest son took a big sip of noodles and quickly smacked it, and said with a smile: "Can you still talk well?"

"I can easily see that the dumb man is a demon warrior, but I don't know what the intention behind your master is, and the content of the secret decree that Dai Di just sent?!"

"You're stumped me, you need to know too much. I'm afraid that my little eldest son has four heads, and it won't be enough......" After speaking, he spread out his hands and continued to lower his head and continue to eat noodles.

"Otherwise, can you think of a way to send me to Uncle Zuo's mansion tonight. I'll figure out the rest myself......"

The little eldest son didn't raise his head and said, "This is not difficult, wrap it on me......"
