The figure that rushed in the dark night shuttled through many places in the capital, and when he stood in Chaosi Alley, the pure white mask and white clothes had disappeared, but returned to black.

He panted a little, silently wiped the fine sweat on his head, and muttered: "It's really exciting, according to the time when those masters in the Xuanzheng Division arrived at the prison, it is really a fraction of a second, and if the movement is a little slower, you will be directly hit by it." It's an ordinary road, and when the mental tension is high, it's as tiring as if you've been running thousands of miles on foot. ”

However, when he approached the small courtyard, he was stunned to find a figure standing in front of the courtyard gate.

Xie Chunfeng stood quietly with his sword in his arms, looked sideways at Li Mengzhou, who was panting, and said lightly: "You seem to be very tired?"

Li Mengzhou's body was a little stiff, he quietly glanced at the closed courtyard door, and said, "Why is Chief Xie back again?"

Xie Chunfeng looked at Li Mengzhou's eyes and said calmly: "It's sunrise soon, there seem to be a lot of people who haven't fallen asleep tonight, at this hour, where did you leave Chaosi Lane?"

He didn't answer Li Mengzhou's question, but directly threw out the question.

Li Mengzhou said: "The time of the morning class in the Palace Sword Academy is in Mao, although I have entered the inner courtyard and the time has become very sufficient, but I am also used to getting up early, and it is difficult to lie down and sleep at this hour, so I took advantage of the vitality of the early morning to practice for a while in the place full of spiritual energy. ”

Xie Chunfeng sighed lightly and said, "Senior Brother Li is really easy to lie, although it is impossible for people not to lie all their lives, but why didn't I hear a word of truth here with Senior Brother Li." ”

Li Mengzhou fell silent.

Although his expression is still very calm, it is inevitably a little embarrassing, being bluntly said that there is no truth in his mouth, it is not something to be complacent, but the embarrassment is only for a moment, the meaning expressed in Xie Chunfeng's words makes his heart tighten.

However, although Li Mengzhou is still young and has not reached the crown, he has not experienced a lot of things, and the darkness he has seen is countless, he did not show it directly because of the nervousness in his heart, and still said very plainly: "I have lived alone in the darkest place in Jiang Country since I was five years old, which is full of lies, even if there is a real scene, no one has the courage to believe it." ”

"Because it is very likely that by the time you believe in the other person, you have already appeared in darker places, struggling to survive, or even disappearing in this world. ”

"It's not that I don't have the truth, and I don't like to lie, it's just that the situation is compelled by the situation, and naïve people can't live in this world. But what I have to correct Chief Xie is that what I said at this moment is true, and I don't understand why Chief Xie thinks it's a lie. ”

Xie Chunfeng didn't know about Li Mengzhou's past, but he could roughly guess from a few words, there was nothing wrong with being cautious, and it was impossible to reason with people in the face of the enemy, and only killing the enemy was the only way to solve the problem.

But all this is when it doesn't happen to you, no matter what, it's fine, but once it involves yourself, and you are the weak person who was killed, it is unacceptable.

Xie Chunfeng is not a weakling.

Li Mengzhou is not a weak person either.

But after all, there are people who are weak.

"I know very well what kind of person Senior Brother Lu is, but I don't know about you, maybe even Ning Haoran can't guess your thoughts, and whether your words are true or not, but what Senior Brother Lu said, I believe it, and I don't want to make things too big, as long as you can help Senior Brother Lu clear up his grievances, I won't care about what you have done, even if Secretary Xuan Zheng wants to trouble you afterwards, I will help you." ”

Xie Chunfeng's idea is very simple, what Li Mengzhou does has nothing to do with him, as long as he can clear Lu Changge's charges, he can also help Li Mengzhou escape the trouble of Xuanzheng Division, as if none of this happened.

Moreover, Mu Nan obviously wanted to provoke the dispute between the Sword Courtyard of the Palace and the Immortal Mountain Gate, Xie Chunfeng could not directly oppose the Xuan Zheng Division, but he would not be used by the Xuan Zheng Division.

A happy ending for all is the best.

But Li Mengzhou's expression became embarrassed again.

If Lu Changge hadn't been killed, Xie Chunfeng's proposal was really good, although there was no guarantee that Lu Changge would retaliate afterwards, but Li Mengzhou only needed to find another chance to kill him, but now it was too late to say anything, Lu Changge was already dead.

Although Xie Chunfeng was blocked in Chaosi Alley, he obviously didn't know about Lu Changge's death, otherwise he wouldn't be talking nonsense here, and it was likely that he would directly draw his sword and face each other.

There is no way to lie and deceive Ning Haoran and Xie Chunfeng, he can't admit that he killed Zhu Zaitian, and then framed Lu Changge.

Even if it was a mistake to peep in Lu Changge's dark place with bad intentions, but Lu Changge hadn't really done anything after all, and the situation that had evolved to the current situation was because Lu Changge happened to bump into the scene where Li Mengzhou killed Zhu Zaitian, so that Li Mengzhou had to take action as soon as possible.

It is better to prevent trouble before it happens than to wait until trouble comes to the door and then deal with it hastily, Li Mengzhou doesn't feel that he has done anything wrong, the only thing he feels guilty about is that he has betrayed the fourth senior brother's trust in him, but Li Mengzhou also told the fourth senior brother everything about this matter, but in the face of Xie Chunfeng, it is not so simple.

If he hadn't gone to the Xuanzheng Division's prison to kill Lu Changge directly, maybe at this moment, he would have been able to tell the truth, cooperate with Xie Chunfeng, solve the trouble of Xuanzheng Division, and then secretly continue to solve Lu Changge's trouble afterwards.

It's a pity that the premise of all this is that Lu Changge is still alive.

Li Mengzhou thought a little depressed, if he knew this, he shouldn't have killed Lu Changge so quickly, but the matter has come to this point, Li Mengzhou can't sit still, the main thing is to deceive Xie Chunfeng first, once he knows that he is not going to practice, but to go to the prison of Xuanzheng Division to kill Lu Changge, without the fourth senior brother here, he is afraid that it will be very miserable.

Of course, Xie Chunfeng didn't know what Li Mengzhou was thinking, thinking that he was just thinking about this matter, and waited patiently for a while, and finally asked: "This is the best result, you shouldn't want to completely intervene in this matter without Luoshanmen, and at that time, the situation will be completely different." ”

Li Mengzhou nodded and said, "Then according to what Chief Xie said, in Chenshi, we can go to the Xuanzheng Division to explain clearly, explaining that I may just be mistaken and then bring Lu Changge out." ”

He really didn't know what to say at the moment, and it seemed a little stupid to continue to pretend to be stupid, but he didn't default to Lu Changge, who he deliberately framed, but he could help explain.

And Xie Chunfeng didn't care about this, this matter was already tacit, and he didn't need to find out, as long as the result was good.

......

The light of the morning sun shone over the capital, and the long night finally passed.

Li Mengzhou sat quietly on the rattan chair, the sun was quite dazzling, after that heavy rain, the scorching summer finally came again, and the sultry weather made him feel a little irritable.

That sense of unease finally came true. ”

Li Mengzhou looked sideways at Gu Shiyan who was eating noodles in the room, and said with some annoyance: "I think things are too perfect, but in fact, there are no such perfect things in this world, Xie Chunfeng will soon know the news that Lu Changge has died, and maybe even know it now, Xuan Zhengsi can't act as if nothing has happened, and there will be big trouble coming to the door soon." ”

"Slip ......"

Gu Shiyan drank all the noodle soup, wiped her mouth elegantly, and said: "Actually, there is one thing you did wrong at the beginning, if you directly kill Lu Changge, instead of involving Xu Hexian, there won't be so much trouble." ”

"Although in the end, Zhu Zaitian and Lu Changge's deaths, Xuan Zhengsi will also intervene in the investigation, but you only need to cover up your traces, just like we once killed Tang Taijing, Xuan Zhengsi can't find you in a short time, and Xie Chunfeng is even more unlikely to find you. ”

Li Mengzhou stared at Gu Shiyan intently and said, "Then why didn't you say it at that time?"

Gu Shiyan said lightly: "It's you who have been arranging plans, I don't think I need to use my brain to think about that, it's not very easy to do things silently, and it will be very tiring to think too much." ”

Li Mengzhou opened his mouth and finally sighed.

In fact, since the first time he killed people in the capital, he could have expected that today's scene would happen, and the Xuan Zhengsi would find out about him sooner or later, but Li Mengzhou still felt a little too stupid to do something like this.

The subsequent development gradually went beyond his control, and finally walked into a dead end, perhaps because he was overconfident and regarded Xuan Zhengsi and Buluoshanmen as too simple, and when the troubles came to the door one by one, he could only be forced to solve the troubles, but those troubles were eventually entangled and seemed to become more complicated.

There are dynasties in the world that are above the cultivators, and there are also dynasties that are vassals under the powerful mountain gates, but the Jiang Kingdom is relatively equal, at least a special existence like the Academy, and even the Five Realms Sect like the Star Picking Mansion, which can be on an equal footing with the Jiang Kingdom's royal family.

Although the star lord of the Star Picking Mansion is a national teacher, he also has to obey the orders of His Majesty the Emperor in his position in the court, but in fact, there is a big difference between him and the civil and military officials in the court.

But if His Majesty the Emperor wants to order the Star Picking Mansion Star Lord to do things, he needs to use it, although under normal circumstances, he will not refuse, but he actually has the qualifications to refuse.

Just like the incident of the monk outside the mountain, His Majesty the Emperor also asked Xue Wangwu to go out of the mountain, and it was impossible to directly order him to do so, which was the special status of the Shangzong in the five realms of Jiang Kingdom.

Because if there is a sect in the Five Realms, there is at least one great thing at the peak of the Five Realms, that is the existence standing on the highest peak in the world, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it has the power to destroy the country, and it should be treated with courtesy.

It's just that His Majesty the Emperor is the Emperor after all, as long as he doesn't violate his principles, or is extremely unwilling, no Five Realms great thing will refuse to help His Majesty the Emperor do things.

In the entire Jiang Kingdom, the only one who can refuse His Majesty the Emperor at will depending on his mood is the dean of Ewha Academy.

Although Li Mengzhou is a disciple of the inner courtyard of the Imperial Sword Academy, and he will have some privileges in some aspects, he has not reached the real height, and his identity actually can't help him when he touches the rules that can't be touched.

How the disciples of the two cultivation mountain sects fought each other, or even decided to live or die, was actually a permissible thing, because after all, it was in the world of cultivators, and there were no rules in itself.

But when it comes to the laws of the court, it is no longer just a matter for cultivators, and this is the biggest mistake Li Mengzhou made.

Because of the matter related to the Xuanzheng Division, he only considered that Lu Changge might use the laws of Jiang Guo to deal with him, but he ignored his identity as a cultivator.

Zhu Zaitian is an official of the court, but Lu Changge is not, Li Mengzhou in order to avoid being troubled by the Xuanzheng Division, but instead he took the initiative to involve the affairs of the cultivators in the court.

He had already thought about it comprehensively, but some very important issues were ignored by him, and when he realized it and wanted to make up for it, it was a little too late.

Gu Shiyan walked out of the house with her sword in her hand and said, "There are many cultivators' breaths outside Chaosi Lane, it should be someone from Xuanzheng Division, what is your decision?"

Li Mengzhou sat on the rattan chair, the whole person looked very lazy, he was trying to relax his mind, and said lightly: "If you want to draw the sword, does it mean that you have to be an enemy of the court?"

"The Xuanzheng Division is the most powerful institution in the capital except for the military department, and the Heavenly Council is only for intelligence, when it comes to power in the capital, the Xuanzheng Division is superior, offending the Xuanzheng Division is offending most of the court, and even in some ways it means provoking His Majesty the Emperor and becoming the public enemy of the entire capital. ”

In fact, Li Mengzhou was a little confused in his heart, although he sneaked into the Xuanzheng Si prison in the early morning to kill Lu Changge, he didn't show any horses and feet after all, and it shouldn't be Xuanzheng Si who came to the door at this moment, but Xie Chunfeng.

He vaguely guessed that there must be something else in this that he hadn't thought of.

Gu Shiyan said calmly: "If you don't resist, what awaits you may be a prison sentence, and once it falls into the hands of the Xuan Zheng Division, you will become a pawn in the hands of Xu Hexian, and he will use you to target the Heavenly Lord's Yuan, if the Heavenly Lord's Council collapses because of this, the entire capital will be the Xuanzheng Division's final say." ”

Li Mengzhou smashed his mouth and said: "Directly with the Xuan Zheng Division, this is a very exciting thing, I don't want to be the enemy of the capital, but I won't sit still, we don't have to be alone, since things have come to this point, if you think about it, it will be very weak, it's better to indulge." ”

He put aside the messy thoughts in his heart, just thinking about directly confronting the Xuan Zhengsi in the capital, that is not something that just anyone dares to do, and he has no ability to do it, but when the enemy's butcher's knife is on his neck, resistance is inevitable.

Outside the courtyard walls, armor soldiers flocked to the courtyard.

The people who lived in Chaosi Lane were frightened and retreated, the Chaosi Lane was very quiet in the past, but I don't know when it began, there seemed to be officers and soldiers in Chaosi Lane, the people looked at the small courtyard, it seemed that since the black-faced teenager moved in, Chaosi Lane has become no longer quiet.

Aunt Feng was very panicked when she noticed that those familiar officers and soldiers in armor appeared in front of Li Mengzhou's small courtyard, last time it was Qingyi who came to Chaosi Lane by herself, and now Aunt Feng wants to move the rescue soldiers and doesn't know where to find someone, so she can only pray that nothing will happen to Li Mengzhou.

Mu Nan stood in front of the door of the small courtyard and waved his hand lightly, and when even a soldier stepped forward and kicked open the courtyard door, dozens of soldiers swarmed in.

Li Mengzhou felt that this scene was very familiar, just like on that rainy night, it was also when Mu Nan led a group of armor soldiers to go straight to the streets of Dongchengmen and broke into the door to arrest Lu Changge.

Although he only witnessed Mu Nan leading a group of armor soldiers to the streets of the East City Gate, and did not see the picture of breaking in, but after a little association, it faintly coincided.

He sat on a wicker chair and looked at the officers and soldiers in armor all over the courtyard, and for a while, he had mixed feelings.

Mu Nan wiped his mouth with a white handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xiao Li, this should be the first time we have met, I am really ashamed to work so hard, but I have long admired Mr. Xiao Li's name, and it is really better to be famous than to meet, Mr. Xiao Li is really a young hero." ”

Li Mengzhou looked at him and said: "I have also heard of Mu Shilang's name, it is said that Mu Shilang is the strongest among the Xuanzheng Division's waiters, why is he still holding a handkerchief, the girl is embarrassed, this is not quite in line with your identity." ”

A hint of coldness appeared in Mu Nan's eyes, but it was fleeting, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Xiao Li is very good at laughing, although my visit this time is a little abrupt, but I also hope that Mr. Xiao Li can cooperate and obediently follow me to the Xuanzheng Division for a cup of tea." ”

Li Mengzhou said with some emotion: "Your Xuanzheng Division seems to like to invite others to tea, but that kind of place is obviously not a good place to be popular, once Zhu Shilang also invited me to tea, but he couldn't invite him, why does Mu Shilang think that he can invite me?"

Mu Nan said with a smile: "We all know very well what happened at the beginning, why mention the past, I was ordered to invite Mr. Xiao Li, it was the order of the head of the department, and it was also the order of His Majesty, which is completely different from Zhu Shilang's behavior last time." ”

Li Mengzhou frowned slightly.

The current situation was indeed somewhat unexpected for him.

It is impossible for Xu Hexian to plant two heels in a pit, and this operation is obviously fully prepared, and he actually got the permission of His Majesty the Emperor.

Li Mengzhou could probably guess that Xu Hexian must have strengthened his belief in front of His Majesty the Emperor and made some kind of guarantee, even if he couldn't produce any evidence for the time being, as long as he got His Majesty's will, he would not have any worries.

This is obviously a very unfavorable thing for Li Mengzhou.
