Last night, Shen Zhou went to Gufeng Mountain to confirm that the phoenix fire was still there, and Xi Ci was nowhere to be found, and it seemed that nine times out of ten that Chi Na saw it was Xi Ci himself.

As soon as he returned to the world, he heard that Lord Wang did not go to the early court today, nor did he take leave, and his family did not know where he was at the moment, and it was not a trivial matter for the court officials to go missing.

In order not to distract the king from such trivial matters, the Taishi decided to go out of the palace in person to see what was going on, and by the way, he went to find Xici.

I heard from the secret agents in the market that I didn't come out last night when I saw Lord Wang enter Yingge Tower.

So the chariot he was riding in stopped for the first time in front of the gate of Yingge Tower.

changed into an ordinary plain shirt, but it still can't cover the innate nobility.

At this time, Yinggelou took advantage of the sparse crowd, and the people were sweeping, he stood at the door and looked around before walking in.

When he entered the door, although he had half of his face, his demeanor was too high to be low-key, which caused the women in the building to turn their heads and ears, cover their mouths and snicker, and whispers all over the place in an instant.

As soon as I walked to the hall, I saw Lord Wang who was helped downstairs by two women.

He squinted his eyes and looked at Lord Wang, who was bleeding from his mouth, before saying, "Lord Wang! ”

When Lord Wang saw the first important minister of the dynasty, Taishi Shen Zhou, he didn't care about the pain in his mouth, broke free from the hands of the two women, walked quickly in front of him, and said vaguely: "Taishi." ”

"Lord Wang, excuse me, your mouth is ......" He frowned slightly, although he thought it was funny, he couldn't laugh, and he was so embarrassed to go to a brothel.

"Accidents, no obstacles." I can't say that I was beaten by a woman, I lost face.

He was just about to coax the Taishi out, when there was a sudden loud noise behind him, and a door upstairs suddenly flew out, startling everyone present.

Then a beautiful woman with a blue nose and swollen face climbed out of the stairs, she wiped the blood from her nose, and stood up with difficulty by holding on to the fence upstairs.

This is the first time that Xi Ci has been tough, because she knows the human race too well, not only is her body fragile and her life is short, but she can't use teleportation to escape, and if she doesn't resist, she can only wait for death.

Out of the room came out of the two thugs who were also beaten with blue noses and swollen faces, they didn't expect this woman to be so fierce, since she couldn't pick up guests, then she was killed, and it would be a disaster to keep it.

The crumbling back of the upstairs leaning against the fence made Shen Zhou feel very familiar, and he came a little closer, looking up at her with his back to him.

The thug didn't give a soft punch to Xi Ci, and she dodged the punch that came to her face, but she didn't dodge the kick that came from the other thug to her stomach.

The fence behind him was already in disrepair and a little loose, and it was hit hard by the bull across the mountain, and it couldn't stop the people leaning on it.

Xi Ci fell with the loose fence behind her, thinking that even if she didn't die this time, she would be half paralyzed, afraid of pain, holding the possibility of death, closed her eyes, and never thought that she fell into a gentle embrace.

She closed her eyes and sniffed vigorously, it was the familiar sandalwood incense.

When she opened her eyes, she saw a smooth jaw, cold thin lips, and delicate nostrils, which made her feel an inexplicable sense of security.

She couldn't help but take off half of the other party's face.

"Your Highness!" It was this good-looking face, she called out with surprise and joy.

Half of her face was revealed, and Shen Zhou originally wanted to be angry with her, but looking at the large and small injuries on her face, he suddenly couldn't bear it, and put her down before taking back half of her face and putting it back on.

But his face has been seen by half of the people present, and it is rumored that half of the Taishi's face is weird, so he has to wear a face to prevent scaring people, and now this rumor has been broken.

"Your Highness?" Lord Wang scratched his head in confusion, not sure if he had heard it wrong.

"What she said was, get on your knees." After glancing at Lord Wang, he raised his eyes and looked coldly at the two thugs upstairs.

The cold light in his eyes made the two thugs upstairs shudder.

The old bustard thought to himself: It's bad, shouldn't it be that the family members of any dignitaries have been kidnapped?

She hurriedly ran to Shen Zhou's side, shook the fan in her hand, and said flatteringly: "My lord, I am angry, there is something to discuss." ”

Shen Zhou glanced at her, and was about to leave as soon as he pulled across the stream, but the old bustard hurriedly ran in front of him and stopped: "My lord, you can't just leave like this." ”

Although she knew that she might be in trouble, she couldn't let go of any of the money she should ask for, she was hinting that Shen Zhou would pay for repairs, after all, this girl was bought back by her real money, and she pointed to her to make a lot of money for herself!

"How much do you want?" He asked in a deep voice, I am afraid that it is difficult not to be falsely accused in this kind of place.

The old bustard smiled and gestured a finger, Shen Zhou felt that it was not so simple, this kind of place would not be enough for a single ingot of gold.

Seeing that Shen Zhou didn't say anything, the old bustard was anxious: "One hundred taels of gold." ”

"Quite an appetite." He sneered.

"I bought this girl with money, and I tossed it for me, and the affairs of Lord Wang, don't you have to keep it secret?" The old bustard twisted his body and pretended to be aggrieved and said.

Shen Zhou didn't look at the poor Lord Wang, but looked back at Xi Ci, who was covered with injuries, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I didn't bring it, I'll send it over in a while." ”

"You can't just leave a word, what should you do if you forget it for a while?" I don't dare to directly say that he is in debt, after all, he is the first important minister in the dynasty, but I still think that he may be in debt, after all, one hundred taels of gold is not a small amount.

"If I break my promise, then go and sue me against the king." With that, he took the brook into his arms and walked outside.

Xi Ci turned his head slightly, glanced at the insatiable old bustard, approached him slightly, and asked in a low voice, "Do you really want to give her a hundred taels of gold?" ”

Shen Zhou did not answer, but stuffed her into the chariot, and then sat down himself, staring at her coldly.

Being stared at like this by him, there was an inexplicable feeling of emptiness, although he didn't do anything wrong: "Your Highness......"

"Call me Taishi." He corrected.

"Huh? Oh, Master. "Although I don't know how, since he asked for it, let's call it like this!

"What's the matter with you?" Seeing that she was completely mortal, she couldn't help frowning and asking.

Speaking of this, Xi Ci was angry: "After His Royal Highness Wild came from somewhere and took me captive here, because the matter of Shi Phantom Mirror was not discussed, he sealed me, and I ended up in such a field where I was hanged. ”

The more he talked, the more aggrieved he became, Xi Ci lowered his head, sniffed, and wiped the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes.

Shen Zhou handed her a handkerchief, originally wanting to tell her that she would be beaten even if she was not sealed.

But seeing her like this, she still held back her words.

He pondered for a moment, then raised his finger to Xi Ci's forehead, trying to help her break the seal, but to no avail, pondering again.

Xi Ci thought that the other party deliberately knocked on his forehead, and his good-looking eyes stared at him deadly.

"You look quite comfortable with the mortal body." Seeing her angry eyes, I couldn't help but tease.

Xi Ci didn't think about it for a while, raised her hand and flicked his forehead, her fingers flicked on half of her hard face, it still hurt a little, she pouted and pinched her fingers.

Shen Zhou was stunned for a moment by her bullet, angry and funny, she knew her identity, but she didn't have the slightest sense of awe, was it because she had Fengyang's support?

Xi Ci suddenly remembered something, raised his eyes and said, "Taishi, can you help me unlock the seal?" I promise that I will go back to Gufeng Mountain immediately and not cause trouble! ”

"No need to guarantee, can't be unraveled." Shen Zhou habitually put his two hands into his sleeves and sat upright.

"Aren't you amazing?" Xi Ci asked with a look of "aren't you kidding me".

Shen Zhou glanced at her, looking at the "frog at the bottom of the well" with disgust, and said softly: "You are the fettering seal of the demon clan, and the sealer must personally unseal it, otherwise it can only be automatically unsealed after the other party dies." ”

"Hey, then I can't go back to Gufeng Mountain, otherwise he won't be able to find me." Xi Ci learned from him, sat upright as a mountain, and then secretly probed his reaction with the corner of his eye.

Realizing that Xi Ci might have relied on him again, Shen Zhou began to think in his mind, what kind of work she could do in the house, and he never left useless people around him.

The chariot stopped in front of a mansion, but he didn't expect that Shen Zhou had such a spacious mansion in the world, and Xi was amazed after leaving the chariot.

When Xi Ci was immersed in the joy of regaining his freedom, in order not to tell the truth, he sent a coachman to send a hundred taels of gold to Yinggelou.

Although the house is large, there are only five people, and the first time they saw the Taishi come back with the woman, they didn't know if there would be anything important to explain, so they took the initiative to surround it, lined up in a row, and said in unison: "Taishi!" ”

Shen Zhou looked at them, then at Xi Ci, and in Xi Ci's expectation, he said slowly: "There is still a shortage of a florist in the house, I heard that you can grow vegetables, so these flowers and trees in the house will be taken care of by you." ”

Planting vegetables and planting flowers and trees should not be much worse, under Xi Ci's surprised gaze, he thought about it again, and said: "I remember that you can also graze, and I also entrust you with a few royal horses in the stable." ”

"Can't I just borrow it for a few days and wait for that wild highness to come looking for me?" Xi Ci began to be coquettish to him, whether it was useful or not, it was better to show weakness than to be hard.

Shen Zhou nodded thoughtfully and said, "Of course." ”

Then he stretched out his hand to her again, and said, "One hundred taels of gold, no credit." ”

"Master, with our friendship ......"

Xi Ci wanted to fight for himself again, but was ruthlessly interrupted by him: "With our friendship, maybe you can feed some bait to the fish in the pond in your spare time." ”

Xi Ci looked at him in a daze, and for a moment he didn't know what to say to express his feelings, especially his condescending and undeniable momentum, which he couldn't afford to provoke.

"Don't talk about it, where is the stable, it will be dark if it doesn't start again." Xi Ci had already rolled up his sleeves and was ready to dry.

"Take her there." Shen Zhou pursed his lips and smiled, and said to one of them.

The subordinate who had been ordered stepped forward respectfully, made a gesture of please, and led the stream in the direction of the stable.

Watching them walk away, Shen Zhou had a light smile on the corner of his mouth, and then said to the others: "Prepare a guest room, prepare some food for her, and some external plasters." ”

"Yes, Master." The other four bowed their heads in response.

It happened that at this time, the chariot seemed to come back, he flicked his sleeves, said "I'm in the palace, don't let her go out of the house at will" and walked outside.

The four of them escorted him to the door and watched him get into the chariot before going back.
