Jianglin's inner city is quiet, the officials are confined to the mansion, even if the morning light has sprinkled the long street, it is still a little bleak, but the outer city has never known everything in the inner city, the people are as usual, although they still have lingering fears about the "ghost night walk", but compared to life, it seems that the "ghost" is not enough to be afraid.

The market is full of busy figures, and on the day of the opening of the nine markets, the vendors in the East Market are busy spreading out the things they sell, wanting to open as soon as possible and sell them at a good price;

The carriage dealers in the North City are already calling for someone to load the goods into the cart so that they can hurry early;

Even those fireworks fields in the southern city have a hidden hangover and will wake up, and the disheveled merry man will come out of the door, with a little drunk, and staggered home...

The West Market is not noisy, not that there is no business, but that the restaurant and tea shop have not yet reached the time of business, despite this, each family has already opened the door panel, yawning and calling for the people who come to deliver the goods, and send fresh fish and vegetables into the back hall...

Under the busyness, there is only one, and the West City restaurants and tea shops are gradually showing a busy scene, incompatible, the door is closed, not only do not see the delivery of people, but also do not see the shop of the second child in the morning busy figure, only the silver hook iron painting hanging in front of the door is very conspicuous.

"Guests come and live together, and visitors come together"

"I said, what's wrong with this Qi Ranju? It's just over the first day, and it's a good time for business, and they won't even open the door." A hundred feet away, the fish and meat seller probed towards Xiao Er, who was leaning against the door and yawning.

Xiao Er rubbed his sleepy eyes, and said impatiently: "What are you doing with all these idle things, he doesn't want to live together, I want all of them in the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, you just have to send them."

"Yes, yes... The villain is just curious..."The delivery man glanced at the closed door of Qi Ranju, and was about to take a closer look, but was called by Xiao Er next to him, so he had to speed up the work in his hand and move all the fish and meat into the back hall...

Qi Ranju, outside the elegant room on the second floor, Shopkeeper Zhou was standing solemnly under the "blue and white" wooden sign, constantly brushing his beard to hide his anxiety.

The man in cloth beside him, although his face was calm and calm, his eyes were unfocused under the tightly locked brows, and his eyes flashed, all of which showed his eagerness.

Beside the two of them, a reckless man with thick eyebrows and a pouting nose was pacing back and forth in front of the door of the elegant room, letting out a long sigh from time to time...

After pacing a few more laps, he finally couldn't help it, and the reckless man turned sideways and grabbed the old body of the shopkeeper Zhou, who was standing with his hands together, and said angrily: "You don't keep saying that you have elixir, why is it still ineffective?"

Although Shopkeeper Zhou is over sixty years old, he is not panicked in the face of reckless men, neither humble nor arrogant: "General Zhang, don't be anxious, it is an elixir, and it takes time to exert the medicinal effect..."

"Hude!" The calm man beside him was worried that the reckless man would disturb the old man in the elegant room, so he hurriedly opened his mouth and scolded him.

"Ahem... cough cough..."Several violent coughs came out of the room, and the faces of the three people guarding the door suddenly became solemn, and the reckless man even noticed that his words and deeds were reckless, disturbing the old man in the elegant room, his face was eager, and a pair of leopard eyes were wide open, staring nervously at the door.

"Squeak-" The door of the elegant room slowly opened, and the cardamom girl stuck out her head, but she no longer had the same clever color as before, and her slightly immature peach blossom face was full of worry.

"Uncle Hude, Uncle Wu, Grandpa Zhou, Grandpa Xiao called you in."

Hearing Wang Yue'er's words, the reckless man didn't care a lot, and rushed into the room, Wu Fen and Zhou Shopkeeper couldn't help but worry about Xiao Xiang, and they hurriedly cleaned up the look on their faces, and then slowly entered.

The reckless man rushed into the room, and saw that the teacher who had scolded Fang Xuan was now half-leaning on the couch, coughing, the straight spine that had once supported half of Qi Yun's sky and retreated to the three-way army, and had never bent down was now gradually collapsing under the torture of illness, Fang Scarf clenched his hands and covered his lips lightly, but a little red was still visible between his fingers...

The unparalleled national soldier who has no last resort, now like a candle in the wind, crumbling, how can it not be embarrassing, Zhang Hude, who is straight to the point, has slightly red eyes, his lips are squirming, and the anger in his chest is difficult to hide, and he wants to go out of the room when he looks back... When he saw that he was about to act impulsively, he was gently held down by a palm, and looking back, it was Wu Fen with a calm and calm face.

"The teacher seems to be much better, it must be Lao Zhang Shicai who is babbling in front of the door, disturbing the teacher... Lao Zhang

And still not guilty?"

Although impulsive, but not stupid, from Wu Fen's eyes instantly read his thoughts, Zhang Hude immediately calmed down and forcibly squeezed out a smile.

"It's... Yes, teacher, you see... Lao Zhang, I am this character, I have been impulsive since I was a child, you don't have to worry, let's... We're prostrating to you!"

As he spoke, Zhang Hude really knelt down on the tiger's body, and knocked his head three times in a row, which made the floor on the second floor of Qi Ranju buzz.

With the square towel in his hand, he wiped the red that overflowed from the corners of his lips, the old man glanced slightly, looked at everything, and was relieved: "Hude, you are the head of the seven sons of Qiyun, remember... Ahem... Think twice before you do anything in the future!"

"Well, let's make a note... Teacher, your illness, otherwise, let's leave overnight, let's go back to Weizhou, you have been in Weizhou for so many years, this old problem has never occurred, and you have only been back to Jianglin for a few days..." Zhang Hude followed the old man's words, and immediately knelt down and stepped forward, saying what he thought in his heart.

Xiao Xiang smiled reluctantly, and did not respond to Zhang Hude's invitation, but turned his head, looked at the few people behind him, and when he fell on the shopkeeper Zhou, he said softly: "For so many years, I have wronged you to be a shopkeeper in this small Qiranju..."

Shopkeeper Zhou had already red eyes, and when he heard Xiao Xiang's slightly guilty words, he hurriedly knelt down and spoke: "Xiangye, Lao Zhou's life was given by His Royal Highness the Great Prince and Xiangye, how can you say such unseemly words, are you trying to torture the villain?"

Wang Yue'er saw that the atmosphere in this elegant room was getting heavier and heavier, thinking of Grandpa Xiao's illness, she couldn't be depressed, her eyes flowed, and she immediately stepped forward.

"Oh, Uncle Tiger, you two are... It's a great joy for Grandpa Xiao to be unhindered, hurry up... Grandpa Zhou, although Yue'er is in Weizhou, but your reputation as a dragon group and winning snow has already spread to the border, Yue'er wants to taste it, I don't know if you can have a good mouth today?"

Bing Xue's smart daughter's family, who doesn't love it, with Wang Yue'er's gag, the atmosphere in the elegant room suddenly changed, and Xiao Xiang's face also showed a loving look, and he said with a smile: "Old Zhou, what Yue'er said is good, she didn't know when she learned about your dragon group Shengxue in Weizhou, and she was clamoring for a product all day long."

Lao Zhou got up with a smile: "Since the county is the main taster, Lao Zhou will go and prepare..."

Tea Kung Fu, the dragon group is full, the snow is fragrant, and the entire blue and white elegant room is filled.

The girl tasted carefully, the reckless man drank the cow, the girl praised a few times, and the reckless man was addicted.

This kind of scene, falling into the eyes of the old man half-leaning on the couch, the more relieved, the more he is relieved, the more he is burning, and in this kind of scene, it also alleviates a lot... After a long time, Fang retracted his gaze and spoke indifferently.

"He's out of Beijing?"

As soon as these words came out, several people suddenly came back to their senses, and Shopkeeper Zhou withdrew his loving gaze from the cardamom girl, turned to Xiao Xiang, and lowered his eyebrows and said, "Yes."

"How many people are together?"

"Only that old eunuch is loyal to Qi, and there is Yan Ruohai."

When Xiao Xiang heard this, he frowned again, and said softly: "It seems that the fragment really exists, otherwise how could he be at such a juncture, regardless of the country, not thinking of his son, and leaving everything to go to Bianjing."

At this point, he raised his eyes slightly, and turned to the man who had been beside him, calm and calm: "Fen'er, the person who stayed in Beijing, but he..."

Hearing the master's call, Wu Fen pursed his lips slightly, nodded and sighed lightly: "What the teacher thinks is good, it is Duanmu Qiu who stayed in Beijing to deter hundreds of officials."

"In this way, he wants to completely take Qiu'er under his command..." Xiao Xiang was not surprised when he heard the news, but frowned slightly.

Wu Fen nodded and said, "A few of us and others, each of them has a lack of character... Although Duanmu Qiu is not as good as Chu and Wei in martial arts, and not as good as Linghu in literature, he is the most of the seven of me..."

"Old Wu, what do you say! That traitor, how can he be compared with the six of us, this thief was as good as Linghu back then, and it wasn't for the sake of the official, and he didn't mention Linghu..." was about to continue to speak, but remembered Xiao Xiang's advice, like a child who made a mistake, he hurriedly cast his tentative gaze.

Seeing that Xiangye was not angry, he put his mind at ease, and at this time he looked at himself again

The act of throwing the cup was really impulsive, and they hurriedly leaned over to clean it up, and everyone was surprised when they saw Zhang Hude in such a posture for the first time, only the old man who was half-leaning on the couch showed a little smile in his eyes.

The cardamom girl who was sipping tea on the side, her eyes flashing as clear as the lake, seemed to have figured out the subtlety, and muttered.

"I saw that Duanmu Qiu would definitely avenge Uncle Linghu, and he was using the plan to leave Beijing, and gave away the life of the Duke of Weiguo, Duanmu Qiu killed the Duke of Weiguo, and he will not be allowed to be attacked by hundreds of officials, if he wants to rejoin Grandpa Xiao's disciples, he will be attacked by the officials, so that there is no way back, only by doing things for him wholeheartedly, can he save his life... Good strategy!"

Hearing the cardamom girl's plan in the heart, Xiao Xiangben's tired and sickly eyes flashed with approval: "It's really good that Yue'er can think of this, but he and you both underestimate one person."

When the cardamom girl heard this, she stayed for a moment, thought about it, but still didn't get an answer, so she had to ask for advice: "Who did you look down on?"

Not only did Wang Yue'er never think of it, but even the people like Shopkeeper Zhou, who were busy cleaning up the mess on the ground, didn't know it, and he didn't bother to think about such a headache... Only Wu Fen seemed to guess a few points from Xiao Xiang's glittering eyes.

Everyone was suspicious, and naturally fell into Xiao Xiang's eyes, did not sell Guanzi, only turned his head slightly, turned to the window, and said softly: "Although it is spring, the weather is still cold, don't freeze your body, come in..."

Before the words fell, the window of the elegant room suddenly opened, and the figure flickered, entering the room, covering the window, kneeling, leaning over, kowtowing, all in one go, for fear that if it was half a minute slower, the chill outside the window would make the old man cough again.

After a moment of inviting people, several people in the blue and white elegant room looked stunned, Wu Fen's face was suddenly revealed, and when the shopkeeper Zhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he showed a relieved smile, Wang Yue'er's eyes widened as clear as the lake, and her eyes were full of disbelief, Zhang Hude's eyes were wide open, and his anger was gradually full.

"Good boy, you dare to come to the door by yourself, let's clean the door for Xiangye today!" Zhang Hude, who was distracted for a moment, saw the person who came clearly, and immediately shouted angrily.

The person who came knelt in front of Xiao Xiang's couch and did not move, just looked at the old man in front of him with concern, although he didn't say a word, but there were a thousand words in his eyes.

Seeing that the person who came was silent, Zhang Hude was furious, and he was about to attack, and he was about to move for a moment, and was held down by Wu Fen's palm behind him.

"Old Wu... You..." Zhang Hude was not angry about why Lao Wu wanted to stop him, and he was puzzled, but he saw Wu Fen's eyes calmly, looking at himself, shaking his head slightly, and his mind was a little calmer when he was carried away by anger, and finally thought of the strange part... Suddenly looking back, looking at the back of the kneeling man on the ground, the leopard's eyes were suddenly surprised.

"How's Wei Guogong?" The old man on the couch had distress in his eyes, suppressed the burning of his chest and abdomen, and spoke softly.

The visitor raised his eyes, temporarily restrained his concerned gaze, and said to Xiao Xiang: "As Mr. expected, the Duke of Wei Guo has not revealed half a point... Moreover... Crashing into the blade in Qiu'er's hand... Dead..."

"Death is death, but in a few days, the news will spread throughout the capital, and what you have to bear will be heavier, can you bear it?" The old man didn't care about the life and death of Wei Guogong, and looked at the person with worry in his eyes.

The visitor raised his head, his eyes resolute, just like the stubborn young man who knelt in front of the door many years ago, and showed a relieved smile: "I can protect everyone... That's enough!"
