The faint candlelight in the room was blown on and off by the wind, and Wen Ye was painting at the table with only his underwear and hair scattered. She dipped her pen in ink, raised her hand, and after a while, a freehand painting of mountains, forests and streams appeared on the snow-white rice paper. Wanzhao pushed the door in with the candlestick, hurriedly put the candlestick on the bookcase, turned around and ran to the window to close the window.

"My little ancestor, it's windy at night, why are you still wearing a single coat and still have the window open!"

"I'm not cold, I feel like I'm painting like this, the evening breeze blows as if I'm in the mountains and forests, listening to the murmuring of the stream, looking at the handsome boy on the horse."

Wen Ye closed her eyes and stood there quietly, imagining Mo Yan returning from riding a horse and lifting a pair of hunted hares in front of her, the corners of her mouth immediately raised.

Wanzhao saw that she looked like a girl with a spring and was very helpless, she didn't have the heart to pay attention to these loves, she only knew that they had been on the road for seven days, and Ming'er would enter Youzhou City early in the morning to see Lord Zhizhou, and complete this tricky errand for the saint.

"Master, rest quickly, your body is important."

"I couldn't sleep when I received the letter from the second brother just now, he said that Mo Yan abolished Tang Rao's right hand."

Wanzhao was also startled after hearing this, this is not like the style of Mo Xiaohou at all, no one dares to provoke him, unless he wants to provoke someone, if it is not because of himself......

"The little marquis is for the master?"

"The second brother said that he didn't know the inside story, he just happened to go to the hunting ground together."

Wen Ye pursed his mouth after speaking, it is estimated that even the second brother himself does not believe this, he is such a person who loves to investigate the reason, if he is really present, he will definitely not know the inside story.

"You come to study the ink, I'm going to finish this painting."

Wanzhao promised to study ink for her very reluctantly, Wen Ye dipped the pen in the ink again, and filled in some scenery with the landscape painting, and the tip of the pen touched, and a son of a jade tree in the wind gradually sketched out.

"This is the little marquis?"

Wen Ye nodded, concentrating on finishing the painting, and soon a vivid hunting picture was displayed in front of the two of them. I saw a man in a hunting suit in the mountains and forests dismount and pick up the prey he shot, and not far away a sika deer rushed out of the forest in a panic, causing the man to look back, the horse next to him was leisurely grazing, and there was a falcon in the air spreading its wings and soaring.

"The second brother didn't mention their hunting in the letter, but I think this should be the case when he hunts, I remember that he had a golden eagle very treasure, which was brought back to Beijing from Liangzhou. By the way, do you have any dealings with Lord Mo in Liangzhou? ”

Wanzhao shook her head not very clearly, she didn't even know much about Qingtian's parents, she looked at the painting and laughed for a while, and finally pulled the corner of Wen Ye's clothes and said excitedly.

"Master, this hunting ground is so beautiful, I also want to eat venison, and when we return to Beijing, we will go to Jingshan to hunt."

"Okay, I'll go."

Wen Ye smiled and scratched the tip of her nose, and couldn't help but look forward to the days after returning to Beijing, if you could shoot and hunt with him, it would be an incomparably beautiful thing, just thinking about it would be so happy. Wanzhao urged her to go to bed and lie down, turned off the light and closed her eyes, and the two of them slept until dawn.

Early in the morning, eight people disguised themselves into Youzhou City in two waves, and stayed in two different inns, Bixiao and Qingkong went to the street to wander around to find out the news, and the two met the secret guard Bixiao followed the secret guard to understand the situation, Qingkong was worried about their safety and went back to the inn to resume their lives first, and only halfway through they met the evening photos wandering on the street.

"How did she get out?"

Qingkong frowned and pulled her into the alley, and Wanzhao was about to fight back, when he saw that it was Qingtian, he immediately showed his face.

"What are you doing out there? Miss that? ”

"It's okay, there are more than 20 secret guards who entered the city this time. I came out to buy meatloaf, the one we eat every time we came. ”

Qingtian still grabbed her wrist and didn't let go, showing a worried look, staying by Wen Ye's side all year round, this temperament is getting more and more casual.

"You hurry back, Youzhou has changed a lot in the past few years, and I also came to Bixiao once the year before last."

Wanzhao lowered her head and was a little sad, the last time she came was five years ago, and now this Youzhou City can't even find a familiar person with her, who was born and raised here, and now she only feels terrible strange, and the things in her childhood memories are getting less and less.

"yes, the meatloaf we ate with is gone."

"There's one around the corner, I'll take you."

Qingkong couldn't see her sad, so he couldn't bear to refuse, and dragged her to the corner to buy meatloaf.

"I bought the meatloaf, come back with me."

Wan Zhao smiled and nodded, and took a hard bite of the meatloaf and was overjoyed, although the taste was a little worse than that one, but it was also a taste of childhood, which already made her very satisfied.

"I remember when I was a child, my family's field was still there, and my mother loved to make me this meatloaf to eat."

"If you like it, buy some more tomorrow."

Qingkong saw that she finally had a smile, and he was also very relieved, if it wasn't too much, he would respond to her needs on weekdays.

"Well, I want to go see my father and mother, bring some for them, and I want to go to the suburbs to see the old house."

When Wanzhao was six years old, a sandstorm buried many people, and she became an orphan, and it was the Xiang family of Youzhou City who took her in, and then sent her to the old house in Liangzhou. When she was ten years old, she came back to see her father and mother in the cemetery in the north of the city, and then she could come back once a year or two to pay respects. If Bixiao and Clear Sky come to Youzhou, they will also clean her with a few pillars of incense.

"Tomorrow I will take you to the north of the city to see your father, don't go to the old house first, the wind and sand in spring are very strong, and we will go again after the wind season."

"Okay."

Wanzhao happily agreed while eating meatloaf, I really haven't seen my father and mother for a long time, I really miss them.

"Evening light."

Clear Sky suddenly leaned down close to her cheek, and his right hand subconsciously protected her waist, whispering softly in her ear.

"Don't move, someone."

The hot breath sprayed violently on the ears of the evening sun, her earlobes instantly turned red, and suddenly remembered the scene of riding a horse with the clear sky that day, and there was a feeling of suffocation in her chest, her heart was flustered, and she closed her eyes and subconsciously slapped it with a palm.

"Ahem, you actually used internal force, am I so annoying?"

Clear Sky smiled bitterly, a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, his vision gradually blurred, and finally he lost consciousness and fainted.

"Clear sky, I didn't mean to, I was just scared by you, wake up!"

Wanzhao hurriedly bent down and ran towards the inn with Qingtian on his back, and just a few steps away, seven or eight men in black jumped from the roof and surrounded the two. Killers suddenly appeared on the streets, and the people avoided but no one reported to the officials, and the security on weekdays was not much better.

Looking at the killer who was approaching, Wanzhao understood the words of the clear sky, it seemed that he had already discovered the killer in ambush, and he was so stupid, not only did he not understand the meaning of the clear sky, but he also accidentally injured him like this. Wanzhao quickly calmed herself down, at this time she had to quickly deal with these people, she deliberately showed a flustered look, and asked timidly.

"Who are you?"

The black-clothed man at the head grinned, and when he saw that there was only a delicate little woman left on the other side, he immediately let out a contemptuous laugh.

"Haha, the one who killed you."

Wanzhao then sneered, his eyes darkened slightly, and he instantly launched the sleeve arrow on his wrist, and the short arrows shot out of the sleeve one after another, and all the men in black fell to the ground. The evening light did not dare to delay for half a minute, and ran all the way with the clear sky on his back. She didn't go back to the Tongfu Inn where Wen Ye stayed, and went to the Yuelai Inn where the guards and the clear sky lived.

"Sister Wanzhao, what's wrong with the young master?"

Evening Zhao brought Clear Sky back to the room, and the boy who lived in the same room with Clear Sky was very frightened, and he was the youngest of the four guards. Although this person is only sixteen years old, he is at the upper level of the Xiang family in archery and light skills, and he is one of the best young talents.

"Sister Wanzhao, don't worry, I'll go find Brother Kun!"

Escort Ming came back to his senses and hurriedly went to the next door to call for help from the Kun guard, who knew how to heal. Wanzhao gently laid the clear sky flat on the bed, took off his shoes and opened his collar to make him as comfortable as possible, and took out the scarf in his arms to wipe the blood from the corners of his mouth.

Guarding Kun was two years older than Clear Sky, and he was the most calm and experienced on weekdays, so he entered the house and nodded to Wanzhao, and sat on the edge of the bed to carefully check Clear Sky's pulse.

"The young master is suffering from internal injuries, and the problem is not big, but I have to take care of it for half a month, and I will go and ask someone to grab some medicine."

"Okay, I'm tired."

The Ming guard was in the house to take care of the clear sky, and the evening light hurriedly recruited the secret guard to pick up Bixiao, at the moment she was very worried about the safety of her master, and now her whereabouts have been exposed, Wen Ye's side will be detected sooner or later, but the current situation is unclear and can only wait for Bixiao to come back and then find a way. Wanzhao asked the people who were planted by the Xiang family in the two inns to deliver the message, and reported peace to each other with Wen Ye, but fortunately they did not encounter the enemy again until dark.

Bi Xiao didn't return until night, and they were ambushed when they arrived at the secret guard stronghold, but the martial arts of those people were generally easily solved by her, and she got the news and went back to the Tongfu Inn to pick up Wen Ye first.

"Master, are you okay?"

Wanzhao was so anxious that he couldn't do it, and for a while, all his worries and self-blame were expressed.

"I'm fine."

Wen Ye followed the two into the house and anxiously inquired about Qingtian's injury.

"How's the clear sky?"

Bi Xiao glanced at the dejected evening photos, and the worry in her heart did not show.

"It's no big deal, I'll go see him later, what does Miss think about this matter?"

Wen Ye took off the mask and put it on the table, rubbing his frowning brows.

"Since they were targeted after coming into contact with the secret guards, it seems that the dark guards in Youzhou have long been exposed, and I'm afraid they will still find them."

Bi Xiao nodded in agreement, and the expressions on the faces of the two gradually became solemn.

"The wounds of the clear sky blame me ......"

Seeing that the situation was serious, Wan Zhao wanted to tell the real reason for Qingtian's injury, but he couldn't open his mouth when the words came to his lips.

"You don't have to blame yourself, go to the clear sky and keep guard, I have something to discuss with Miss."

Bi Xiao stepped forward and patted the shoulder of the evening photo to express comfort, the children of the rivers and lakes will inevitably get injured when they mix in the rivers and lakes, which is a common thing.

"Go ahead."

Wen Ye also nodded slightly to her, so that she didn't have to worry too much, and Wanzhao bit her lower lip and withdrew. Wen Ye was very puzzled by the injury of the clear sky, and there were few people in the rivers and lakes who could hurt him in the martial arts of the young master of the Xiang family, could it be that there were masters in the rivers and lakes in Youzhou City?

"How could Clear Sky get hurt?"

Bi Xiao shook her head, she came back in a hurry and didn't check the injury of the clear sky, but the medical skills of the Kun guard have always been good, he said that if it is okay, it must be no big deal, but the martial arts of the person who can make the clear sky are not necessarily weak, it seems that the situation in Youzhou is already very tense.

"I didn't say the specific situation, he was not too seriously injured but there was a mistake, I am afraid that there are masters on the side of the Grange, and the best way at the moment is to use the Jianghu forces of the Xiang family in Youzhou."

Wen Ye stood up nervously, she would never allow the "Banshan Pavilion" to involve the Xiang family, once the people in the rivers and lakes knew that the Xiang family was meddling in the affairs of the court, it would definitely shake the status and prestige of the Xiang family in the rivers and lakes, which neither she nor her mother wanted to see.

"No! This will expose the relationship between the 'Banshan Pavilion' and the Xiang family, and I don't agree. ”

Wen Ye said extremely resolutely, and Bi Xiao was quite helpless, but for the Xiang family, the safety of the "three princesses" was the most important.

"It's a matter of time, miss, don't hesitate."

Wen Ye was a little moved, since the establishment of the "Mid-Mountain Pavilion", she knew in her heart that there would be a day, so she was full of guilt for the Xiang family, and in the past two years, she has continued to recruit talented people to expand the "Mid-Mountain Pavilion", so that Bixiao and Qingtian can one day retreat.

"Miss!"

Bixiao still insisted, Wen Ye sighed lightly, and eased his emotions.

"I'm going to see Yan Zhizhou first, and I'll talk about other things later."

"Okay, I'll arrange it."

Bi Xiao bowed and withdrew, Wen Ye who stayed in the house was sad and helpless that she had never had, she still couldn't keep the people she cared about after three years, she was overwhelmed by the huge feeling of fatigue, and she really wanted to desperately grab the person in her heart, and rest in his arms.
