The night is as cool as water

On the top of Qiyuan Mountain

This area has been occupied by mountain bandits all the year round, and a stockade has also been built.

At this moment, the lights are brilliant, and the atmosphere of singing and dancing is joyful.

A thin figure hurried in from outside the stockade, and he hurried all the way through the wide courtyard outside and directly into the lobby.

The lobby was as bright as day, with people sitting on both sides, and at the top there was a chair made of pure gold, which looked domineering.

On the chair sat a big man with a tiger's back, wearing a tiger skin coat, with one bare arm, and a porcelain bowl in his big hand, which was full of wine, and he laughed and drank it all in one gulp.

At his lap sat two women, leaning on his lap and pouring him wine.

The big man reached out and touched the woman's delicate face, with a look of satisfaction.

"Big boss, urgent report!"

The lively lobby was quiet for a moment, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but turn to the big man sitting at the head.

Yuan Feng, the big boss of the Dragon and Tiger Gang, also stopped touching the beauty's hand, stared at the thin figure below, and said without anger: "Did you find those four traitors?"

The thin figure shook his head, "For the time being, we haven't found the whereabouts of the four of Ding Wei, and they disappeared when we chased them to the far side of the town." ”

Yuan Feng snorted coldly, and as soon as he shook his big hand hard, some cracks appeared on the porcelain bowl, "If you send more people, you must catch it back." ”

The thin figure was very anxious, "Big boss, now it's not Ding Wei's problem, it's the problem of the whole village!" ”

Yuan Feng's thick eyebrows furrowed, "What's wrong?" ”

"The people below have sent news that the capital has sent a Jingzhou pastor and some deputy envoy to attack the mountain, asking us to prepare."

Hearing this, Yuan Feng sneered, he still thought something was wrong.

"What are these two people, the one surnamed Shen was not beaten away by Lao Tzu, and he also folded more than 1,000 people, cool! The Great Yan Imperial Court is nothing more than that! Hahaha. ”

Yuan Feng laughed loudly, and Sun Yi, the second master who was drinking on the side, spoke out at the right time, "Big brother, don't take it lightly, last time it was a trick to let that Shen Shizi fold in my Qiyuan Mountain, this time we should be cautious." ”

Yuan Feng looked at Sun Yi, and he didn't like his cautious temperament, and he couldn't do it because of the concerns of being a mountain bandit.

Besides, there are people below them, no matter what plan he has, he can handle this group of people to the death, isn't that Shen Shizi an example?

Li Rui, the third master, put down the jar of wine in front of him before he laughed, "Second brother, don't worry, even if the emperor comes in person, I won't be afraid." ”

Sun Yi frowned slightly, and sighed slightly in his heart, forget it, his eldest brother and third brother are such temperaments, so he can only be cautious himself.

He beckoned to the thin figure, whispered in his ear, and he nodded his head and withdrew.

……

Hanfu

Inside Xu Yunchen's room

He was sitting on the edge of the bed in a white bedgown at this time, looking at someone who came uninvited and sat without leaving, and only felt a throbbing pain in the corner of his forehead.

As soon as his good temper met Shen Mingnan, he directly broke the defense, and he said coldly with a dark face: "I didn't even know that Shen Shizi had a bad habit of disturbing people's rest."

Shen Mingnan smiled lowly, and said that he was in the light of the wind and the moon, "I'm here to discuss business with Lord Xu, how can I say it's disturbing?" ”

Xu Yunchen was silent for a moment, then stood up and sat on the opposite side of the table, with a flat face: "Say, what's the matter."

"Tomorrow you will go up the mountain with me."

Xu Yunchen frowned, "Yunchen is just a scholar, going up the mountain is afraid of dragging down the prince, and I hope the prince will consider it carefully." ”

Shen Mingnan's eyebrows raised slightly, and he replied, "Didn't you find anything?"

Xu Yunchen was silent for a few seconds, reached out and took a porcelain cup and poured himself half a cup of tea, and said indifferently: "Yunchen spares his life, and has no plans to go up the mountain, if there is no accident, the group of mountain bandits on the top of the mountain should have already known about the plan you made this time, and began to deploy defenses."

"The enemy is in the dark, how to fight?"

Shen Mingnan's dark eyes turned slightly, he took out a piece of paper from his cuff, he leaned on the table with one hand, tilted his head, and said lazily:

"Well, let's take a look."

The paper is not big, there are some red marks on it, Xu Yunchen hesitated for a moment, then reached out to open it, glanced at the contents inside, and slapped the paper on the table, "How did you know this news?" ”

Shen Mingnan smiled lightly, the room was full of spring, and his magnificent appearance showed a bit of charm under the reflection of the candle flame, "A mountain bandit who wants to live told me. ”

He lightly pointed to the red words on it with his finger and smiled lazily, "Na, this is written by him in his own blood, and the look of wanting to live is quite interesting." ”

Xu Yunchen directly ignored the full interest in his tone, he lowered his eyelashes and glanced at the blood book again, and finally said lightly: "I'll go with you tomorrow."

Shen Mingnan nodded, put the blood book into his cuffs again, then stood up and shook his Xuanyi lightly, "Then I won't disturb Lord Xu to rest and say goodbye." ”

Shen Mingnan walked back to his bedroom, and there were seventeen or eighteen guards outside the house.

As he was getting ready to change his clothes and go to bed, there was a conversation outside.

I only heard Yu Seventeen say: "Miss Han, my master has rested, please come back tomorrow if there is anything."

Outside, Yu Seventeen and Yu Eighteen stood in the way of a young woman.

The woman was delicate, wearing a light blue light gauze dress, she was holding a food box in her hand, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and Chu Chu said pitifully:

"I just saw the deputy envoy enter the house." She pointed to the food box in her hand, "I didn't mean anything else, so I cooked a soothing soup at night and wanted to give it to all adults to taste." ”

Yu Qiqi was unmoved, and said lightly: "Miss Han, please go back, my master has already rested."

Seeing that these two people were like iron bumps, Han Pei'er's hand holding the food box tightened slightly, and after a while, she smiled softly and bent down to leave:

"Pei'er is bothered a lot, I hope you will forgive me, then I will come back tomorrow."

After saying that, he took the maidservant and left.

Shen Mingnan paused in the room to change clothes, and it wasn't until he listened to this conversation that he slowly hung the robe he had taken off on the hanger.

An inconsequential stranger, Shen Mingnan didn't even want to remember.

However, the stranger he didn't want to remember, came again the next day.

As soon as the sky was bright, Shen Mingnan put on a mask after getting up and cleaning his face, and as soon as he stepped out of the door, he bumped into Han Pei'er, who was still coming to deliver the food box.

Seeing Shen Mingnan, who was like a cold nobleman, her eyes lit up.

Han Pei'er stopped, stood in place and blessed, "Lord Deputy Envoy." ”

After she straightened up, she raised her eyes to meet Shen Mingnan's ebony black eyes, and her heart rippled slightly, it was really a pair of beautiful eyes.

The appearance hidden under the mask is definitely not bad, her face is slightly red, and she whispers:

"Lieutenant Envoy, Pei'er brought you some breakfast."
