The candles in the house were flickering, and Wu Jian listened to Zhu Buzhan and Lao Qitou's narration, and couldn't help but feel a little naïve.

It turned out that Lao Qitou was indeed an informant sent by others to monitor Zhu Buzhan, but even he didn't know who sent him here, and every time he contacted someone, he fixed his meeting with the one Wu Jian saw during the day. This person's name is Wang San, and his name is a pseudonym when he hears it.

At the beginning, Lao Qitou also passed on some news, but as he got along with Zhu Buzhan for a long time and was impressed by his character, he took the initiative to confess all this.

Zhu Buzhan did not blame Lao Qitou, but comforted him to be here and provided some inconsequential information to the family as usual. At the same time, as soon as the other party has any explanation, Lao Qitou will remind Zhu Buzhan to pay attention to it.

Wu Yan hurriedly got up and apologized to Lao Qitou, he was in the whirlpool these days, and he really had a bit of a taste of grass and trees.

Old Qi laughed and helped Wu Qian up, "Little boy, it doesn't matter, you are also thinking about Mr. Zhu's safety." ”

As he spoke, he took out a wooden box from his body where the brush was placed, and there was a lock of hair in the box, "This is the previous instruction from the last time, saying that it was to carefully collect Mr. Zhu's hair, so I blindly searched for some on the street and gave them a copy, anyway, they can't see the authenticity, this is the rest of the number." ”

As soon as he saw this, Wu Geng's face was a little suspicious, the last time the eldest prince Zhao Linchen looked for himself, saying that he was going to use witchcraft on the second prince Zhao Linge, and the hair was the introduction of the spell, why did anyone still collect Zhu Buzhan's hair, could it be that there were other soul masters, or the object of the eldest prince's Gu was Zhu Buzhan.

If the things collected by the old Qi Tou's master were used for the eldest prince's spell, then since the introduction was changed, the unlucky one might be Zhu Buzhan, and the second prince would be safe and sound.

After pondering for a while, Wu Yan suddenly realized that this witchcraft was a bitter trick for some people, taking the opportunity to bring down the eldest prince and clear the obstacles on his way to succession.

Wu Yan suddenly asked, "Old Qi, when did you send it in the first place?" ”

Lao Qitou said a date, and Wu Qian pondered that it was three days before he went to the mansion of the eldest prince. Now it's even more certain, but it's just that I was in a hurry and didn't see the real thing, so it's hard to be sure.

"Old Qi, what are the characteristics of the hair you sent over?" Wu Gen then asked.

Lao Qi pointed to the hair in the box and said, "These hairs are all obtained from a good girl, and the headgear used for dressing, I also paid attention to it, and deliberately put a half-white hair in every ten." As he spoke, he pinched out one of the inconspicuous white hairs with his hand.

Looking at Wu Qian's unrelenting appearance, Zhu Buzhan slowly spoke, "I also know about Lao Qi's hair, I have always disbelieved in these so-called evil arts, and I didn't take it seriously. Looking at it now, Lin Chen's child is confused and has been used, I think someone wants to use Lin Chen's hand to deal with me.

Wu Gan, you were right to refuse last time, don't delve into this matter further. I will go to the eldest prince at the right time, so that he will not be deceived and fall deeper and deeper. ”

Seeing Zhu Buzhan's somewhat tired expression, Wu Yan wanted to speak and stopped, but finally did not speak, and returned to the inn to rest.

A few days later, Wu Gen was resting in the inn, and there was a knock on the door.

When the two sat down, Xiang Qi didn't say a word, and the fists on the table clenched and loosened from time to time, and his face was a little tangled.

Wu Qian handed over a cup of tea and teased: "Lao Xiang, why are you sad, is it Zhao Ling who used you strongly." Why, do you want me to avenge you. ”

Xiang Qi's eyes were tired, and he raised his head and said solemnly: "Wu Gan, can you leave the capital, you can't fight them." ”

"Don't tell me this all these years." Wu Qian pretended not to like it, "Who are they?" ”

"Don't ask, how can you fight with a group of people alone. Open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend, even the national teacher and Zhu Buzhan may not be able to protect you.

You and I have known each other for many years, I know your temper, and I will never put myself in danger, why do you want to delay in the capital for so long this time, the identity of a noble person is more important than life. Xiang Qi leaned towards Wu Qian, looking a little excited.

Wu Gan's face became more serious, and Huo Ran got up, "Why can't I become a nobleman, Lao Tzu has been out for nearly two years, and finally came back alive, it is difficult to give up if he is threatened by some people." You say, is Zhao Ling going to deal with me again? ”

"Ugh." Xiang Qi sighed, looking a little tired, "From the moment you entered the capital, people have been eyeing you." My identity, you probably know, I was originally a dead soldier of the Shogenji Embroidery Department, and I was sent to monitor King Jinchun.

The life of an undercover agent over the years can be described as physically and mentally exhausting. There were times when I really wanted to go to the national teacher and withdraw me to seclusion somewhere else, and live some idle life. Wu Gan, the days I can help you are numbered. ”

Wu Gen also felt a little emotional, to be honest, since the acquaintance of Xingluoyuan, although there are not many contacts with Xiangqi, but several life and death disasters have relied on his help to get through safely, needless to say.

"Thank you." Wu Yan patted Xiang Qi's arm lightly, "If you really don't want to do it, you don't have to force yourself, with your ability, you can't eat a bite of food anywhere."

In a few days, you and I will go back to the Shenwu Academy, and I will give you some good things, not to mention that you can get rich after selling, but it is not difficult to ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing. Don't worry, with a bite of me, you won't go hungry. ”

"Forget it, if you exchange your life for it, you should keep it for yourself. I have been in Jinchun Mansion for so many years, although I don't have much savings, but I am enough to live. Besides, as long as he gets off the task, Zhao Xuanji will also give a settling-in fee. Enough is enough. He waved his hand at the point, looking bored.

"I said how you look like a defeated rooster, with no energy at all. Besides, what are you polite about my things, who are we with whom, how many years of friendship have we had. It's set, three days later. Wu Yan waved his hand, not allowing the other party to refuse.

Xiang Qi hesitated for a while before agreeing, "Okay, don't be in vain, I will go to the Shenwu Academy to find you in three days." I had to go first, lest anyone be suspicious. ”

Wu Yan got up and sent it to the door, looking at Xiang Qi's somewhat rickety figure, he suddenly felt a little sad for no reason, "Take care, brother." ”

Xiang Qiyan turned his head, his mouth tugged, he wanted to laugh but couldn't, "Are you really not going to leave the capital?" ”

Wu Yan shook his head slightly.

"Brother, you give me the truth, as a soul master, the methods of witchcraft are true or false." Xiang Qi suddenly asked.

"Some small tricks are true, but witches really don't." Wu Gen was calm.

"I know, I believe it, but unfortunately I can't let others believe it too." Wave your hand and walk away.

Wu Yan stood by the window, watching Xiang Qi's lonely back slowly move away, as if watching a past disappear. This decadent-looking man on the street was also a strong man who did not retreat in the face of the enemy and took the lead in drawing his sword and charging. also gave up the passage of life in order to escape for his brother, in a way that was almost self-defeating.

But now, Wu Gen only felt pain, confusion, contradictions and even some misanthropy from the other party, what kind of circumstances made Xiang Qi like this.

Wu Gan didn't know, and he didn't want to ask, even if they were friends, they all had their own secrets, and if he wanted to tell you, he would naturally say it.

After packing up his mood, Wu Jian decided to go back to Shenwu Academy, and after leaving for so many days, he didn't know how Baoxiang was doing in the mountains. Wu Gan knew that it was because of himself that their reward had not come down for a long time.

On the third day, Wu Gan left the city early and went straight to Geshan. When I saw the familiar mountain, the pine maples in the forest, and the steep cliffs, I suddenly relaxed.

In the days in the capital, you always need to beware of someone murdering yourself or Mr. Zhu, how can your heartstrings be relaxed. Sometimes Wu Gen also admires those who have been immersed in officialdom for many years, intrigue every day, look good, and make a sanctimonious appearance, and they are so willing to do it.

Seeing that he is already the life of the owner of the cottage, this thing that makes the tide of the sea is really not his own strength.

When he returned to the familiar valley and saw that Baoxiang and the others were safe and sound, Wu Gen finally put his mind at ease.

"Wu Gan, you are unrighteous, you eat and drink spicy food in the capital all day long, and you don't think about the life or death of your brothers. Say, "When will the title of this noble man be given?"

In the past two days, a few people have wandered around the courtyard, and the nobles of Yishui are very rare, but they scared me half to death. As soon as he saw Wu Gan, Baoxiang kept complaining.

Qi He also rushed over, although he didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning was clear to Wu Gan.

"Wait a few more days, don't you have to move up and down, how can it be so fast." Wu Gan snorted, took out a bunch of gadgets purchased in the capital from the package, and brought a lot of rouge to Feng'er.

Seeing that Wu Yan was a little secretive, although everyone was puzzled, they didn't ask anymore, anyway, just wait.

I haven't seen each other for many days, and the few people who were born and died together naturally drank wantonly, and they tossed for a whole day before giving up. Even Baoxiang was drunk on the spot with such a good amount of alcohol, and fell asleep soundly holding the legs of the bridge class.

Wu Qian was also a little confused, ran to the valley to relieve his hand, and was about to return to sleep, when he suddenly saw Xiang Qi standing outside the valley.

"Come on, come on, I knew you kid was coming." Wu Gan pulled forward, staggered, and walked towards the hut where he lived. Qi He and Feng'er had already rested, and only Yang Zheng was still waiting in front of the door.

"This is ......," Yang Zheng asked suspiciously.

"This, this is my brother's up." Wu Yan said with a big tongue, "Xiangqi, this is Yang Zheng, Tianyuanzhou." ”

The three of them entered the house, Wu Yan closed the door, lifted a floor tile under the bed, and took out seven or eight things, "Xiangqi, you can choose, you can take whatever you like." ”

"Really give it to me." Xiang Qi asked unconvincedly, these colorful treasures in front of him seemed to be of extraordinary value.

"Nonsense." Wu Yan snorted wine, "Pick quickly." ”

After looking at it for a long time, Xiang Qi picked up a wine jug with a dark color but exquisite carving, and asked tentatively, "That's it." ”

"Anything else is fine." Wu Gan saw it and hurriedly snatched it down. This is a wine jug that Liu You gave to himself, but it can be a magic weapon that can hold adverse qi, if it is taken away by Xiang Qi, in case there is still a residual adverse qi in it, wouldn't it harm his people.
