That night, after Pei Ze passed the secret letter to the flying pigeon back to the capital, he changed into a black dress and quietly left the inn and went straight out of the city....

"What did the master say?"

"The capital has not been peaceful recently, the Guan family has been affected, and the master hopes that the shopkeeper Liao will stay in Jinan first and wait and see what happens."

"That"

"Who?" The person with his back to Liao's shopkeeper suddenly interrupted her conversation and threw a hidden weapon behind her..."What's wrong?" But is there anyone outside? ”

"Well, I just heard a strange noise," after a pause, she looked at the wild cat in front of her who was injured by a hidden weapon and was dying, and said in a low voice: "Maybe I heard it wrong, but this place is not suitable for a long time, Shopkeeper Liao"....

Shangguan Shenxue pulled Pei Ze all the way south, and he didn't stop until he saw that no one was catching up behind him! "Master Pei, I saved your life again."

Hearing this, remembering that Pei Ze, who had just almost revealed his whereabouts, frowned lightly, and said in a deep voice, "Why are you here?" Track me? ”

"Uh-huh" Shangguan Shenxue nodded affirmatively, and did not hide it, and said straight to the point: "Don't follow closely, in case you sneak to Huiyang again, how can I explain to the above?" ”

"Yes, when I was under King Qi before, why didn't I find out that you were actually a heartfelt person?"

"Hehe, this time is not that time" After saying that, Shangguan Shenxue handed him the information he had just intercepted, and said softly: "This is the place where the shopkeeper Liao stays, if you want to find out, you might as well start here." ”

"Luoyun Tower?"

"Well, one of the largest brothels here, and according to legend, the person behind the curtain is an old friend of Shopkeeper Liao."

"Where did you find all this?" Pei Ze looked at Shangguan Shenxue suspiciously, how could they all come at the same time, he didn't find any useful information, but she seemed to know the whereabouts of the shopkeeper Liao well, could it....

"Pei Ze, you shouldn't be suspecting that I'm in league with them, right?"

"Isn't it?"

"It's you big-headed ghost!" Shangguan Shenxue glared at him, in case she was angry with this ungodly guy, she took a deep breath, and then pretended to be unfazed and explained to him: "Ever since I found out that Shopkeeper Liao was strange in the capital, I have been secretly investigating, and this information was found at that time. ”

"I found out then, why did you give it to me now?"

"Hey, Pei Ze, I'm not your subordinate, it seems that I don't have the obligation to report everything to you, right?"

Forehead.... Like, is there some truth? Thinking of this, Pei Ze touched the bridge of his nose awkwardly and did not reply. Seeing this, Shangguan Shenxue rarely saw him look cramped, chuckled, and kindly said: "But it's not too late, you also saw it just now, the person behind the scenes has sent someone to Jinan, maybe this is the breakthrough we are looking for." ”

"Huh? We? Are you going to keep looking? ”

"Otherwise," Shangguan affirmed with a natural face: "I haven't checked and I've already found out here, do you still want me to give up halfway?" ”

"As an official of the imperial court, no matter who the people behind this scene are, as long as they dare to challenge the imperial law to harm the innocent, I naturally have the responsibility to find out the real culprit and protect the people, but you are just a woman, once you are involved in the stakes, the consequences are unimaginable! You really don't have to do it. ”

Hearing this, he knew that he was worried about himself, although this worry may also be due to the advice of disgust with her trouble, but Shangguan Shenxue still did not fight a warm current in his heart, and then said softly: "Pei Ze, you already know the identity of my Liu family's concubine, so you will hide from King Qi that winter and bring me to Dali Temple to see them for the last time." ”

After a long time, seeing that he was silent, Shangguan Shenxue understood that he was acquiescing, and couldn't help but have red eyes, and said with a slight chok: "Even so, you should also know that the Liu family will not be the one who is greedy for life and afraid of death!" What about women, the situation is undecided for a day, who can say that the result must be bad? ”

"Hmm.... Is that the girl you saw before? ”

"Huh?" The topic changed too quickly for a while, and Shangguan Shenxue didn't even react before she was stunned by Pei Ze's question, "What did you say?" ”

"Just now" Pei Ze glanced at her with a frown, and asked again: "Is the person who is talking to Shopkeeper Liao the girl you saw in the capital?" ”

When the words fell, Shangguan Shenxue was speechless and asked Cangtian, she was still talking sensationally just now, this guy didn't realize it at all, and even showed a look of disgust for her slow response? He is really, elm wood can not be carved!

"It's not like" After a pause, Shangguan Shenxue recalled the situation he saw that time, and said softly: "The body shape is different, the one last time was not a practitioner, but I always have a sense of familiarity, but I can't remember it for a while." ”

"Is it" Pei Ze's eyes sank, and he said in a low voice: "That is the case, then tomorrow we will invite you into the urn in Luoyun Tower"....

In the Xiao Mansion, Song Wan looked at the man who came over early in the morning to have breakfast in Shuxiang, and couldn't help frowning and asked, "The fourth prince doesn't have to go to the morning court today?" ”

"Well, there have been no major events in the capital recently, and my father has allowed me to take a break for a while, and there is no need to go to the morning court in the future."

Hearing this, Song Wan was stunned for a moment, and after reacting to what he was talking about, she said suspiciously: "There is no major incident in the capital?" Didn't you say a few days ago that the capital was not peaceful, and the matter was settled? ”

"Drink some corn porridge, I heard Ziyu say that your appetite has not been too good recently, and I specially ordered the imperial dining room to boil it, and it won't taste good when it's cold."

Seeing this, Song Wan knew that he was deliberately avoiding this topic, so she didn't ask any more, but after bowing her head and drinking a few sips of porridge, she said softly: "Since there is nothing to do in the capital, can the guards you arranged outside the mansion also be removed?" ”

"Nope"

"Why not?" Song Wan looked at him with a resolute face, and said in a deep voice: "Are you really planning to put me under house arrest until Yao Xuetang enters the door?" ”

"Wanwan"

"Xiao Beichen, did you already know" Song Wan interrupted his unspoken words, her eyes flashed, and she stepped forward to his ear and lowered her voice: "Yao Xuetang went thousands of miles to Huiyang for no reason, and he happened to save you at the bottom of the cliff, did you have long been suspicious, so you must include it in the door to find the truth?" ”

"Wanwan" paused, Xiao Beichen didn't respond, but changed his way and said: "Have you ever thought that even if it's not Yao Xuetang today, it may be someone else who enters the door, and in the royal family, how can you resist fate?" ”

"But we're not the same, because"

"Did you misunderstand something?" Xiao Beichen glanced at her and said indifferently.

"Misunderstanding? What do you mean? ”

"Wanwan, you know, since I have finally come here, it is impossible for me to give up the position of the crown prince, and if I want to achieve the goal, the chips behind this are indispensable, besides" After a pause, Xiao Beichen's eyes darkened, and he said in a low voice: "Yao Shoufu has promised me, as long as Xuetang enters the door, he will stand on my side without any objections, Yao Shoufu has always won the trust of his father, how can I be indifferent to this temptation?" ”

"Xiao Beichen"

"Wanwan, even if we are the same kind of people, I have chosen a different path today, can't you still accept the reality?"

"Reality? What is the reality you are talking about, just quietly watching you hug left and right? ”

"I know what you and Pei Ze are investigating" After saying that, Xiao Beichen took out an object and placed it in front of her, and said softly: "Don't check it anymore, this matter is not as simple as you think, this is the reality." ”

After the words fell, Song Wan looked at the mung bean pastry in front of her, her heart sank, and she said coldly: "What if I insist?" After a long time, seeing that he was silent, Song Wan took a deep breath, and then said: "Beichen, you know me, if you don't find out the truth one day, I won't give up one day, besides, Yao Xuetang is not simple, she is very likely to have something to do with the poison, aren't you doing this now, aren't you putting yourself in danger?" Why don't you let me help you, or are you hiding something? ”

"Hehe" Xiao Beichen chuckled lightly, and said noncommittally: "Then tell me, what will I hide from you?" ”

"You are"

"Lord, Elder Zhan asks to see"

"Well, let people wait in the study, I'll come later" After that, Xiao Beichen got up and just wanted to walk out of the wing, his sleeves were gently pulled, "What's wrong?" ”

"If I find out that she does have bad intentions, will you still insist on letting her in?"

Hearing this, Xiao Beichen seemed to pinch the soft flesh on Song Wan's cheeks helplessly, and said softly: "Little vinegar jar, I really can't help you." ”

"So" Song Wan grabbed his big messy hand and looked at him stubbornly, insisting on an answer.

"Let it be" When the words fell, Xiao Beichen turned around and left Shuxiangzhai, leaving Song Wan alone with her eyebrows raised and pondering.....

Luoyun Tower, Shangguan Shenxue and Pei Ze just walked outside the door, and saw a figure hurrying past them, "slow" With a crisp voice, the person not only did not stop, but instead performed light skills and went straight out of the city.

"It's the shopkeeper Liao, chase after it", Shangguan Shenxue took the lead in chasing after him, and Pei Ze also followed when he saw this... When they reached the bamboo forest, the figure disappeared in front of their eyes, leaving only the sound of the remnants of the leaves blown by the breeze falling to the ground. "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"No, that person has cinnamon incense on his body, I have smelled this incense on Shopkeeper Liao, and I will never admit it."

"Then people will disappear into thin air?"

"Perhaps" Before Shangguan Shenxue finished speaking, a hidden weapon shot from the depths of the bamboo forest, "Be careful" She pulled Pei Ze to the side to dodge, and she avoided the arrow, "Oh no, there is an ambush!" ”

As soon as the words fell, more and more arrows rained down on them, and this posture seemed to want the two of them to die here without a place to be buried! "Pei Ze, now that the enemy is outnumbered, we must not fight with it, let's evacuate first, and then find a way later."

"Hmm" After saying that, Pei Ze took out the dark object from his arms and threw it into the depths of the bamboo forest, accompanied by a huge cracking sound accompanied by thick smoke, and the two quickly disappeared to the side of the rolling slope....

"Wait" Shopkeeper Liao shouted to the man in black who wanted to catch up, and said in a low voice: "Poor Kou Mo chase, that person is still waiting, let's go." ”

"Yes!"
