Under the blue sky and white sun, the door of Lianfu was closed, and Ning Shu and Xie Yunyan stood at the mouth of the alley, frowning from time to time.

After staring at it for so long, even if it is not Shangshu Mansion, even the Mansion is still a high-ranking mansion in Kyoto, how can there be no one in and out?

Xie Yunyan asked the person in charge of staring at the Lian Mansion and asked, and the man said: "Master, none of the masters of the Mansion have come out in the past few days, and the subordinates have occasionally come out in twos and threes." ”

"But judging by their posture, they should have been dismissed."

Those people were all carrying packages, and they were dejected, and they knew the reason at a glance.

"Dismissed?" Xie Yunyan's heart tightened at the moment.

Ning Shu also glanced at him anxiously.

How is it possible to dismiss the next person?

Lian Shangshu just doesn't be an official.

Doesn't the huge Lian family need to be subordinate?

Xie Yunyan said to Ning Shu: "I'll go in and take a look, you wait for me here." ”

Ning Shu nodded and sat back in the carriage neatly.

Xie Yunyan took the men and went straight to Lianfu.

Everyone has already come, so naturally they have to cross the clear road first.

One person stepped forward and knocked on the gate of Lianfu again and again, but there was no response for a long time.

Xie Yunyan secretly screamed badly, and personally stepped forward and knocked on the door.

After another half an hour, just as Xie Yunyan was about to rush in with someone, a gap suddenly opened in the door of the mansion, and an old woman poked her head out.

"You-"

Xie Yunyan raised his hand against the crack in the door, forbade the old lady to close the door, and asked urgently, "Where is Lian Shangshu?" ”

"My lord has long since returned to his hometown—" replied the old lady.

"Returning home?" Xie Yunyan's cold eyes swept over the person beside him.

The man said aggrievedly: "There are indeed some subordinates who left in batches-" His eyes suddenly lit up, and he muttered in disbelief: "Could it be that they went out in disguise?" ”

Xie Yunyan blushed and continued to ask the old lady: "Is there a dismissed subordinate in the mansion?" ”

"No?" The old lady glanced back at the main courtyard of the mansion, "Although the old lady and the son left, they didn't say that they wouldn't come back, they only told us to go through the side door when we went in and out of the house, and if it was unnecessary, don't open the door if anyone comes." ”

The owners of the family have left, and all the subordinates are rarely idle, and they are all enjoying happiness in their respective rooms in the house.

There are also orders from the master to call the door, so naturally you don't have to care too much.

If it weren't for the fact that the location of the old grandmother's wing room was not far from the door, and she was too upset to hear the sound of the door, she would not have paid attention to Xie Yunyan and the others.

Xie Yunyan asked again with a calm face: "I don't know when Lian Shangshu left?" ”

"It's been five days."

The guards behind Xie Yunyan immediately lowered their heads.

He's been doing useless work for five days?

Xie Yunyan thanked the old lady for her answer, and immediately turned around and walked to the carriage where Ning Shu was.

After briefly explaining what happened, Xie Yunyan said, "You go home first." ”

Ning Shu nodded, "Go quickly." ”

"Okay." Xie Yunyan wanted to immediately set up a checkpoint at the city gate, and he also had to enter the palace to inform the emperor about Lian Shangshu's absconding.

For a while, I was busy again.

Ning Shu watched Xie Yunyan disappear before returning her gaze to the closed door of the Lian Mansion.

In the finger-wide slit, deep eyes were staring at her.

Ning Shu lifted the curtain, got out of the carriage, and said to Xuan Feng and Long Shan: "Let's go, let's go to Lianfu to have a look." ”

Several people came to the door of Lianfu, and the tiny gap had been closed again.

Long Shan stepped forward and patted it lightly, the door creaked open, and the old lady looked at a few people in confusion and asked, "What day is it?" Why did you come to my lord again? ”

"Nope." Ning Shu smiled faintly, "We're here to find you." ”

"Looking for me?" The old lady was stunned for a moment.

Long Shan and Xuan Feng also glanced at Ning Shu in confusion.

Ning Shu smiled without saying a word, ignoring the old grandmother's surprise, lifted her skirt and walked into the gate of Lianfu.

Long Shan and the others followed.

"I have something I want to ask Mama, I don't know if Mama is taking me to a quieter location? Or do you just say yes here? ”

Facing Ning Shu's indifferent smile, the old lady tilted her head suspiciously, and pointed to the rockery stone forest on the side, "There is a pavilion there, if Madame doesn't mind, go there, right?" ”

"Okay."

Under the leadership of the old grandmother, Ning Shu soon came to a gazebo.

The autumn breeze was bleak, with a faint winter atmosphere, which made her tighten the cloak on her body.

The old lady stood aside respectfully and asked, "What is the matter with the lady looking for a slave?" ”

"I didn't know that the Great Elder could move freely without a snake-headed cane." Ning Shu stood in the corner of the pavilion, admiring the rockery stone forest of Lianfu, and said lightly.

How calm her expression was, how surprised Long Shan and Xuan Feng's expressions were.

Xuan Feng did not doubt him, and immediately took out the long sword at his waist and pressed it against the old grandmother's neck, and Long Shan also blocked in front of the old woman, glaring angrily.

The old lady was of course the most shocked one in the audience.

She smiled, straightened up, looked at the back of Ning Shu, who was blocked by Xuan Feng and Long Shan, and asked, "Madam really deserves to be the person that the old woman likes, just by looking at it from a distance, you can recognize the old woman." ”

After that, she pointed to Long Shan in front of her and said mockingly: "It's much more powerful than this girl from Miaojiang." ”

It's strange to say, she has tried Ning Shu countless times, but she has not been able to feel the existence of any Gu worms on her body, so how did Ning Shu avoid her attacks again and again and find her?

Xuan Feng no longer gave the Great Elder a chance to say a word, and immediately swung his long sword and stabbed at the Great Elder's vital point.

The Great Elder's eyelids didn't blink, and at the moment when the tip of the sword was about to pierce her body, Xuan Feng's hand suddenly froze, and his body retreated uncontrollably.

Until his back rested on the rockery outside the pavilion, he still maintained the movement of holding the long sword in his hand.

The flesh collided with the rockery, and a muffled sound came out instantly.

A mouthful of thick black blood also flowed down the corner of his mouth.

The Great Elder squinted at the long sword in Xuan Feng's hand and snorted lightly, "Ignorant junior, you think you can control the old woman with a sword?" ”

Long Shan hurriedly ran to Xuan Feng, helped the person up, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" ”

Xuan Feng wiped the bruise from the corner of his lips with the back of his hand and shook his head gently.

"How can it be okay? If you fall for my Gu, you will only be able to live for three days at most. The Great Elder's laughter grew sharper and sharper.

When Xie Yunyan called the door to ask, she saw Ning Shu in the distance.

was worried about how to catch Ning Shu again, but he didn't want Ning Shu to send it to the door in person.

Her eyes were full of greed, looking at Ning Shu as if she was looking at some treasure, and she had already begun to plan in her mind to use Ning Shu's blood to raise Gu worms, and that Gu worm would definitely reach the realm of Vientiane Gu.

Who knew that Ning Shu in her eyes didn't show a trace of panic, but looked at her with a faint smile.

"Didn't the Great Elder want to know why you couldn't play a Gu on me?"

Ning Shu slowly walked in front of Xuan Feng's side, raised his jade hand lightly, and only patted him on the shoulder, Xuan Feng's pale face actually returned to normal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The Great Elder's pupils shrank suddenly, and his trembling fingers pointed at Ning Shu: "What is this?" How can it be? ”
