When Hengyu came to him, Xiao Mu seemed to see her: "Why are you here?" ”

"It's too stuffy in the hall, so I came out for a walk."

Xiao Mu continued to walk forward unhurriedly, and said, "That's a very coincidental coincidence. ”

"It's not a coincidence." Heng Yu followed him and confessed, "I came here on purpose to wait for Master Hou-"

"What, I'm afraid that Ben Hou won't be able to remember the way back?"

"I'm afraid that Hou Ye won't be able to come back easily......" Heng Yu lowered his voice slightly, and moved closer in his direction, and asked curiously: "Hou Ye, what is the arrangement inside?" ”

Xiao Mu turned his head to look at her: "What does Painter Ji think will be arranged?" ”

"Supposedly, there are only two possibilities, and I just saw a girl who was too coolly dressed running all the way, crying so sadly, as if she had been bullied by a wicked person——"

Xiao Mu corrected: "It's right that Ben Hou was bullied. ”

He said it seriously, and Heng Yu also asked seriously: "What does Master Hou mean by this, is it that you don't like such a beautiful woman?" ”

Xiao Mu took his hand: "I haven't noticed which wind she is blowing-"

"That Hou Ye is really a rare righteous gentleman in the world." Heng Yu praised sincerely, and suddenly suddenly: "Yes, Hou Ye was originally a sweetheart, and he sat down like a jade like this, and he confirmed the name of dedication." ”

Xiao Mu was stunned when he heard this, as if a secret mind that he didn't even have time to face was suddenly punctured.

Immediately, I heard the girl beside me ask curiously and seriously: "I have also heard the rumors of Hou Ye's nostalgia, but I don't know it...... What kind of person is that girl? ”

Xiao Mu: "......"

Oh, I turned out to say this.

refers to the person whom he often goes to sacrifice—

No wonder he was so clear about the rumors about him, and he knew which one it was when he mentioned it - after all, who told him that he had a lieutenant named Yin Hai.

And when it comes to this, he can't help but wonder: "How can it be a girl?" ”

Heng Yu looked at him in amazement: "Naturally, it doesn't have to be a girl...... So, is this rumor too restrictive? ”

"......" understood where she wanted to go, Xiao Mu's face froze: "That's an old friend of Benhou." ”

He bit the word "friend" again.

Hengyu breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly: "That's ......"

This breath was relieved, as if the unknown concern in her heart had also been taken away, and now it became clean and empty and stretched, which was perfect for the long-buried seed to take root and sprout with peace of mind.

"It's a good friend I've grown up with." Xiao Mu looked at the dark night, and confided in someone for the first time: "We can read and read together, practice martial arts and swords together, and be punished together-"

Heng Yu looked at him when he heard the sound.

His gaze was calm and distant.

And although she had never seen the "Little General Shi" with her own eyes when she was young, she had also heard of his name-

His father, Shu Guogong Shi Minhui, and today's Chinese scholar Jiang Zhengfu were both companions of today's saints.

And the sons of the two, that is, General Shi Xiao and the son of the Jiang family, later became the prince's companion as a matter of course.

In addition, there were also two princes born from the same mother as the crown prince - the later King of Jin.

These four children of the same age and noble status grew up together under the protection of their parents, and slowly grew into teenagers.

What happened next is not a secret......

When the family was destroyed, the second prince was named the king of Jin and stationed in the north, the king of Jin rebelled, and the son of the Jiang family recommended himself to persuade him to surrender, but he died unsuccessfully.

And the person who needs him to erect a monument is a wordless monument......

It can only be the king of Jin who died as a sinner and could not be buried.

Heng Yu looked at the person beside him.

And he was the one who quelled the rebellion of King Jin back then......

She couldn't guess what had happened at that time, and what state of mind he would have been—

After a while, she looked at him and said softly: "Master Hou, although it must have been a long time, please also mourn." ”

What she wanted to say was not only about King Jin, she thought, he would understand.

Xiao Mu's gaze towards the long night suddenly became a little stunned.

Her reassurance seems to be too conventional to be a little old-fashioned—

But there seemed to be no lack of strength in the gentle tone, and this power was like a warm and soft hand through the long years, gently caressing the top of the head of the embarrassed young man in the past.

Facing the girl's gaze, Xiao Mu suddenly felt like a dog whose head was rubbed with his thoughts.

Heng Yu didn't need him to respond, and he didn't want to continue the topic, so he praised: "Only after a closer look did I find that this robe is also very flattering to the Hou Ye, which shows that the jade tree is in the wind." ”

This sycophant is really coming as soon as it is said-

Xiao Mu smiled silently, looked ahead and said, "Go and sit there." ”

"Isn't Master Hou going back to the banquet hall?"

"Didn't you say the hall was too stuffy?"

In front is a lotus pond, and several boulders on the edge of the pond are polished brightly.

Heng Yu sat down next to the boulder, and Xiao Mu followed suit.

Nearby and green locust guarded not far away.

The evening breeze was very light, and a few of the lost lotus trees in the pond were as quiet as a picture.

Heng Yu straightened his legs, propped his hands on his knees, and said very relaxedly: "It's a big circle, but it's just a beauty trick, isn't Master Hou running in vain this time?" ”

After all, this so-called beauty trick is the most ambiguous.

You say it's stuffed to be a spy, but you still need credentials. After all, under the banquet and wine field, such things can often be interpreted as dedication.

Even if you want to distinguish the other party's position from this, it will not work, and I am even more afraid of other things.

This Pei Tingshi, should he say that he coerced a little, or was he too cautious?

Xiao Mu was noncommittal about the statement of "running for nothing", and said pointedly: "In the situation of Jingshi, a game of chess has been played to the most critical juncture, even if you are patient, you should make a move-"

What he was referring to didn't seem to be just Pei Ding. In other words, it was through Pei Ding that he looked elsewhere that could not be determined.

Hengyu listened to his words and fell into thought for a while.

These thoughts are divided into two and have nothing to do with each other.

The first is to follow his words and distinguish between friends and foes in the current situation.

The second is that when he talks to her now, he has no sense of distance......

What about the person who used her as a spy in the first place?

……

In the front hall, the banquet has come to an end.

Some guests began to leave the table, and Mrs. Dou personally sent the most distinguished female guest out of the house tonight.

Yin Hai seemed to have eaten too much wine, and his body was not very stable out of the banquet hall, and as soon as he stepped down the stone steps and stood firm on the stone railing, he heard a surprised voice coming.

"You're really here!"

Under the light of the lanterns, the girl trotted in, her face full of joy.

She apparently ran out alone, and ran very fast, and no female envoy was seen behind her.

Yin Hai suddenly woke up, and his body immediately stood up straight.

"If you want to come, don't tell me in advance!" Pei Wushuang came to him: "I have contracted the wind cold in the past two days, and I haven't come out of the courtyard much...... It's a bit of a coincidence that if I hadn't heard them mention it, I wouldn't have seen you! ”

Her voice was a little muffled, and she babbled, and turned her face to let out a loud sneeze.

Yin Hai said helplessly: "Since Miss Pei is sick, it's better to go back quickly-"

"I've just arrived, you just let me go back!" Pei Wushuang said dissatisfiedly, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he leaned over and asked, "You care about me, don't you?" ”

Yin Hai smiled and said, "I'm afraid that Miss Pei will be sick and give it to me." ”

"You're ......!" Pei Wushuang grinded his teeth and reached out to hit him.

Yin Hai avoided her hand, looked behind her, and covered his stomach and sighed: "I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to talk to Miss Pei——"

Hearing this, Pei Wushuang hurriedly asked nervously, "Did you drink too much wine?" ”

"No, no......" Yin Hai hurriedly waved his hand at her: "I just want to go to the clean room." ”

"Then I'll take you there!"

Yin Haiqiang smiled: "This doesn't have to be ......"

"Shuang'er!" The woman's scolding voice came from behind her: "What are you messing around again!" ”

"Mother......" Pei Wushuang turned his head with a weak heart.

Dou glared at his daughter and looked at Yin Hai, with a polite demeanor and a just right sense of distance: "If Vice General Yin needs it, he may be able to let my female envoy lead the way." ”

Yin Hai smiled and saluted: "So it's hard work." ”

Dou Shi motioned to the female envoy beside him: "Ask Zhi-"

The envoy lowered her eyes and replied "Yes": "Vice General Yin, please come with your servant." ”

Yin Hai nodded.

Pei Wushuang stood behind Dou and silently said four words to him - I am waiting for you.

Yin Hai pretended not to understand and went with the female envoy.

"I see that the girl is a little familiar......" On the way to the clean room, Yin Hai said with a smile.

The envoy hung her head and said, "The maid has been to the Hou Mansion with his wife a few times, or has met General Yin. ”

"Ah, yes...... I remember! Yin Hai suddenly said: "You are the female envoy of the Pei family who got lost last time and almost strayed into our general's study——"

The female envoy's feet were slightly sluggish, and she said after a while: "That time it was the maid who took the wrong road, but fortunately, I met General Yin to help the maid guide the way......

She can clearly be regarded as cautious, but the vigilance of the people in the Hou Mansion is really leaky.

But at that time, she thought that she had covered up the past, and the people in the Hou Mansion did not investigate anything after that......

What does the other party mean by mentioning it at this time?

"This is also a chance, I helped you show you the way before, and today you will lead the way for me." Yin Hai said with emotion.

What does this fake monk mean?

The female envoy stopped vigilantly: "General Yin, the clean room is in front." ”

The banquet living room is used to entertain guests, and the clean room is naturally not too far away.

Yin Hai stopped and looked at her with a smile: "By the way, when I helped the girl show the way last time, I forgot one thing......"

"I don't know what General Yin is referring to?"

As soon as the words fell, she saw that the other party suddenly attacked her!

The envoy instinctively dodged away.

Yin Hai: "Sure enough, I have some skills, no wonder I can reach near the outer study." ”

The female envoy's face changed: "You ......"

The other party is testing her!

Yin Hai asked with a smile: "The Pei family is a noble family, and Mrs. Dou is also from a scholarly family, how can the female envoy around her have such a sensitive skill?" ”

The envoy forced herself to compose: "The clan must also have means of self-preservation, especially in a place of right and wrong like the Northland...... The so-called fists and feet are just to protect the safety of the lady and the girl, why is there anything wrong? ”

"It's still a good ......," Yin Hai nodded approvingly: "Very good, so let's have a good talk when we get back." ”

As he spoke, he struck again.

And this time it was obviously different from Fang Cai's tentative move, but with three or two moves, he conveniently knocked the person unconscious.

"General Yin—"

A man in black hidden behind the clean room flashed out.

Yin Hai turned to leave, his voice careless: "Take it away, be careful." ”

"Yes."

The man in black took out the prepared black cloth bag and walked to the female envoy who fell to the ground.

……

At the same moment, Cheng Ping returned to the Dingbei Hou Mansion in the dust.

"Why did Uncle Ping come back early?" Ji Ji was about to ask someone to boil hot water for bathing when his girl came back, when he saw Cheng Ping come to the courtyard, he asked in surprise.

How urgent is this to be able to come back two days earlier?

"Where's the girl?" Cheng Ping asked hurriedly.

"The girl went to the banquet with Mrs. Xiao, and she hasn't come back yet." Ji Ji saw that something was wrong: "Uncle Ping is in a hurry?" ”

Cheng Ping didn't answer, but asked: "Where did you go to the banquet!" ”

"The Pei family of the Assassin Mansion - Huh! Uncle Ping! Looking at the back of the person who turned around and strode away, Jiji shouted but failed to stop the person.

……

In the Assassin's Mansion, when Heng Yu and Xiao Mu returned to the front hall, the guests had already left.

Pei Ding had obviously listened to the housekeeper and knew about the female envoy's rejection in the guest room, so he did not choose to fool the past at this time, but explained to Xiao Mu with great shame: "...... It's that the lower officials are ignorant and troublesome, and the lower officials should have thought of it a long time ago, how could a person with a noble heart like Hou Ye ...... Hey, I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed. ”

"Pei Tingshi is also a good intention, Ben Hou understands it." Xiao Mu didn't say much, only said: "The hour is not early, Ben Hou will not bother." ”

Pei Ding hurriedly said: "The next official will send the Hou Ye!" ”

Xiao Mu looked at Hengyu on the side.

Heng Yu also looked at him: "The female envoy said that the aunt has already gone back first." ”

Xiao Mu: "......"

He should have said something good to his mother......

"Pei Tingshi doesn't have to send it." Xiao Mu raised his foot as he spoke.

Pei Ding would mean "yes", and saluted: "Xiaguan respectfully sends Hou Ye, Hou Ye and Ji Painter walk slowly." ”

Watching the backs of the two walk away, Pei Ding slowly breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from the corner of his forehead.

"Your Excellency......" the butler hurriedly walked over.

"What's wrong?" When Pei Ding saw the housekeeper's face, he became nervous.

"The envoy next to Madame Wenzhi is gone!" The butler lowered his voice.

"Ask Shiba?!" Pei Ding was stunned for a moment, and said uneasily: "How could she not see!" ”

"It is said that half an hour ago, he led the way to the clean room for the deputy general of Nayin...... Vice Admiral Keyin returned, but she was not seen for a long time. That Yin Hai only asked Zhi to take him to the clean room and left, but Mrs. waited for a long time and couldn't wait for her to come back, so I also asked people to look around, and after asking around, they said that they had never seen it! ”

"She's definitely not such a reckless person, shouldn't she ......" Pei Ding said secretly: "I'm afraid it's going to be a bad thing......!" ”

"My lord, what should we do now?"

"Let the others continue to find...... I'm going to see my people! Pei Ding hurriedly went to the guest house.

This time, in order to "celebrate his birthday", many clansmen from the capital clan came, and they all just left the table and went back-

Above the night sky, black clouds float silently, obscuring the sky and the moon.

Good night everyone(づ ̄3 ̄)づ
