(When I look at the crowd in the square after work, a sentence comes to my head: Happiness is sometimes just a second-in-one picture.) () Then he smiled, then pondered for a moment, and silently saved this sentence in his mobile phone: Happiness is just a temporary stranding of **. ）

After leaving the Lu Mansion, Du Linlou did not immediately return to the camp where the Qilin Army was stationed, but came to the back door of the Lu Mansion where the six people assassinated Su Qin before - the people of Lihuo City who were originally surrounding the discussion have all dispersed at this moment, compared to gathering here to explore why the Qilin Army came here, these people who have been living in Lihuo City are more concerned about the firewood, rice, oil and salt in their lives, so no matter what the Qilin Army is here about, after the curiosity at the beginning disappears, these people also retreat like trees and macaques.

Leaning in the corner of the wall, feeling the warmth of the sun, Du Linlou closed his eyes.

Du Linlou was thinking back to every action these people made and every word they said between their appearance and death—he only heard one sentence, and that was the threat of the man who was disguised as a woman before he died.

Thinking of the young man's walking posture, the corners of Du Linlou's mouth rose slightly, he knew that if he hadn't guessed wrong, the young man with the spear in his hand should be a soldier, a trace of the young man's dancing gun flashed in his mind, Du Linlou's smiling expression froze, followed by Du Linlou, who remembered something, frowned, and Du Linlou, who was sure of something, finally smiled bitterly- Although he only vaguely saw one or two moves of the routines used by the young man, he was extremely familiar with the entire gun road, because the marksmanship used by the young man was the most commonly used and most common thirteen guns of the three armies of the Qilin Army, tigers, leopards and lions.

What made Du Linlou helpless was not that this young man was from the Qilin Army, but the role that the young man played in this operation - Du Linlou knew that if he wanted, he could quickly investigate the identity of this young man, because the Qilin Army Leopard Army staying in Lihuo City was under his control, 10,000 people, although it was more than a little less, but if a person was missing, at most it would take an hour and a half to investigate the ins and outs of this person, and the same was true for the Lion Army.

But Du Linlou knows that things may not be so simple, the Tiger Army has lost all its losses in the battle of Guangqi City, who can tell if there are any fish that have slipped through the net, and I am afraid that I will startle the snake if I act rashly.

There is also the middle-aged man who rashly shot at himself in the alleyway, thinking of this, Du Linlou smiled slightly, that middle-aged man is probably thinking of himself as Su Qin, and blame these people for damning, if he hadn't followed Su Qin all the way back and found that someone was following Su Qin, I'm afraid the outcome of the matter would be much worse than now.

Shaking his head slightly, Du Linlou looked at the place where the young man died again, Du Linlou remembered that this young man was the first to make a move to Su Qin.

Fish hooks are poisonous.

What kind of poison Du Linlou knows when he returns to the camp in a while, the helplessness on Du Linlou's face thinking of this finally disappears, as long as he knows what kind of poison it is, Du Linlou believes that there is a way to know where this young man comes from.

This young man should be an insignificant player in the assassination team, because he was the first to strike, and another reason is that he is just an ordinary soldier.

Thinking of this, Su Qin looked at the willow tree not far away.

can transform the chess pieces in his hand into real flames, that brocade-clothed fat man should be a master of runes, according to Du Linlou's guess, it should be a disciple of the Dragon and Tiger Sect.

Thinking of the thin man with the jade flute in his hand, Du Linlou had a few flute sounds in his head, knowing that this person was very likely to be from the Qi Sect.

As for the woman...... Although Du Linlou did not fight him, from the time he abducted the baby as a cover and later used the child as bait, Du Linlou knew that this man was probably the leader of this group.

Probably not a leader.

Because of his dying words.

Du Linlou knew that what he said was not a simple cruel word.

The forces that can infiltrate the army, the Dragon and Tiger Sect, and the Qi Sect in their hands are definitely a very terrifying force.

Is the Demon Cult about to come back again?

After asking this sentence in his heart, Du Linlou left this quiet long street.

The direction he went was the direction in which the black spirit disappeared with Su Qin.

When a person is anxious or fleeing, he will always choose the fastest way to get to the safest place, and in Du Linlou's view, the only place that can bring a sense of security to most people is home.

Although the black spirit appeared from the willow tree, Du Linlou knew that the route where the black spirit left with Su Qin might be the place where the black spirit stayed.

Following the path where Hei Ling disappeared with Su Qin in his arms, Du Linlou saw a T-junction in front of him.

To the left leads to the pipeline from the fire city, and to the right is the front street of the Lu Mansion.

Looking at the two relatively prosperous streets, Du Linlou stood quietly for a moment.

After a while, Du Linlou suddenly turned around and looked at the way he came.

Su Qin is staying in the Lu Mansion these days, this black-robed old man ...... Du Linlou, who had vaguely guessed something, did not go back to the Lu Mansion to find out, because he knew that this black-robed old man might not really harm Su Qin.

Because with Su Qin's strength now, if the black spirit wanted to kill Su Qin, Su Qin would not know that he had died hundreds of times.

Looking at the shadows on the ground, Du Linlou looked up at the scorching sun, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he always felt that today's sunlight seemed to be unusually hot.

However, Du Linlou did not stay at the street for too long, looked up at the hot sun, and then looked at the surrounding crowd, Du Linlou's figure slowly disappeared into the crowd.

Du Linlou, who was walking towards the Qilin Army barracks, remembered the purpose of coming to Su Qin today, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

At this moment, Du Linlou didn't know that when he saw Su Qin again, it would be three days later.

――――

――――

Ningguo.

The early summer sun shines on the splendid imperial city, making the whole imperial city look a little more holy.

Unlike other palaces where people come and go, Ningxi Garden is quiet.

The flowers and plants are blooming every day with the palace maids, but it is difficult to see the dust between the window lattices and the cracks in the walls.

But this doesn't prove anything.

Because in the eyes of most people in the palace, no matter how beautiful these flowers are, no matter how clean this mansion is, Ning Xiyuan is always a forgotten corner.

Emperor Ning Haobo's harem had sixty-four concubines, and this Ning Xiyuan was at the end of the most remote part of the harem, the farthest away from the main hall where he discussed with the ministers every day.

The reason is none other than because of Ning Xiyue's past, even if Ning Xiyue used to be honorable in the Yan Country-no man wants the woman lying next to him to think about other men every day.

And behind every woman that men think about in their twilight, there is a man who haunts her.

Therefore, this inconspicuous concubine in the backyard of the palace has not seen Ning Haobo for a long time, and even other concubines rarely come here.

Nobody remembers, no one remembers.

Let the people in this small courtyard fend for themselves.

It's just that with Ning Xiyue coming back from Yanguo a while ago, this quiet courtyard has slowly undergone some changes.

First of all, the wife of Wang Hao, the general who guarded the imperial city of Ningguo, asked to see her, and then the wife of Meng Luoqi, who is now the prime minister of Ningguo, stepped into this mansion, and now this courtyard has successively several wives who are officials in the court have come to visit, as for the reason, no one knows, these people will come here every once in a while to sit for a while, and they will not stay to eat, and it will become more and more strange in the eyes of other concubines.

However, they didn't have any change in their opinion of this woman in Ning Xiyuan, because even if Ning Xiyue had a good relationship with the wives of these dignitaries who were officials in the court?

It's just that it's not just them, even Ning Xiyue herself didn't expect Ning Haobo to come to this mansion so soon.

As usual, after the palace maids cleaned the courtyard and every corner of the garden, they came to Ning Xiyue, who was eating in the hall, and asked her if there was anything she needed to do.

Ning Xiyue shook her head, and then asked these palace maids to retreat.

The palace ladies withdrew one after another, and the courtyard was quiet again.

"What are you thinking?" Seeing Ning Blueberry staring at the open space outside in a daze, Ning Xiyue asked softly.

"I miss my mother. Ning Blueberry turned his head and glanced at Ning Xiyue and said, when he said that he missed his mother, Ning Blueberry's face showed a trace of pain, but he didn't cry - for the face in front of him, Ning Blueberry was naturally very familiar, but I don't know how, every time Ning Blueberry saw it, his heart would hurt slightly, like a needle slowly piercing into the skin.

Because Ning Blueberry knew that although Ye Qiaoshui pretended to be Ning Xiyue's appearance, she was not the mother who raised her.

"Are you blaming me for asking you to play with those princesses and princes these days?" Ye Qiaoshui looked at Ning Blueberry, frowned, and then sighed lightly, "I've told you many times, you have to grow up eventually, and you must learn to be independent and strong." ”

"Look at the flowers in the garden, they have been carefully cared for, and I dare say they will wither if it rains heavily. Looking at the silent Ning Blueberry, Ye Qianshui continued, and after speaking, Ye Wanshui smiled bitterly, now Ning Blueberry is only sixteen years old, and if she tells her these truths, even if she understands, how much can she understand?

"When I came back from outside just now, I saw you sullen, did you have an awkward relationship with other princes and princesses?" Looking at Ning Blueberry, who was drinking shrimp porridge with his head down, Ye Qiaoshui put down the chopsticks in his hand and asked.

Ning Blueberry shook his head.

"No?" Looking at Ning Blueberry who shook his head stubbornly, a smile appeared at the corner of Ye Wanshui's mouth, "Then you tell me what is the scratch on your neck and ears?"

"I accidentally touched it myself. Seeing that Ye Xiaoshui had discovered his secret, Ning Blueberry reached out to cover his scar in a little panic.

"Which princess is it?" Ye Qiaoshui ignored Ning Blueberry's words, and her face was cold, she looked at Ning Blueberry and asked.

"Yes...... The little princess of the East Garden's cherished flower girl's mother's family. Ning Blueberry lowered her head a lot as she spoke.

"You didn't fight back, did you?"

"Why don't you fight back?"

"What are you afraid of?"

"What about the self-defense methods I taught you?" Throwing three questions with a face, looking at Ning Blueberry with tears in his eyes, Ye Qiaoshui slapped the table and said.

Hearing Ye Qiaoshui's fierce question, Ning Blueberry finally cried, and said while crying, "They all beat me and scolded me and said that I was a child that no one wanted." ”

"Really?" Hearing Ning Blueberry's words, Ye Qiaoshui suddenly smiled, and then took Ning Blueberry's hand and said softly, "Let's go, I'll take you to them to reason." ”
