Xie Li frowned slightly, his tone was light, and he couldn't hear any joy, "It's just that I sent a few informants over, where did I get any merit?" ”

Shen Ji shook his head, the smile on his lips was shallow, and he said softly, "The emperor wants you to go over in person to find out the truth,"

Xie Li was stunned, and surprise flashed in his eyes, "I don't know martial arts, why did you choose me to go over?" ”

"So......" Shen Ji poured himself a cup of warm tea, took a sip, and said in a low voice, "The emperor also allows you to bring one person." ”

Xie Li's brows frowned even tighter, he was silent for a long time, and suddenly thought of something, pulling the corners of his lips, "The emperor wants Lian Yan to pass, but he is ashamed to open his mouth and wants me to be a bridge?" ”

"It's smart." Shen Ji turned the teacup in his hand, his eyebrows drooped slightly, "King Runan entered the palace today and angrily accused the emperor of being close to the family and delegating too much power. ”

Xie Li was taken aback, "Talking to the emperor like this, is he crazy?" ”

Shen Ji disdainful, "But for the sake of being the emperor's family, and relying on the emperor's benevolence, he deliberately took Qiao." ”

Xie Li felt novelty and asked in a low voice, "Which family provoked him?" ”

Shen Ji glanced at him and hooked the corners of his lips, "The youngest son of King Runan molested the official lady on the street, so that Lian Gongzi saw it, and he was almost cleaned up." ”

"On weekdays, I don't see how righteous Lian Yan is, he can actually ...... for the sake of it" Xie Li's voice paused slightly, and his expression froze for a moment, "The official lady in your mouth...... It can't be my sister, right? ”

Shen Ji chuckled, "If it weren't for her, who would be able to provoke Gongzi Lian?" ”

"King Runan......" Xie Li gritted his teeth and grabbed the wolf pen on the side, "I'll write an excerpt and take a stroke with him!" ”

"Why bother?" Shen Ji spoke out to stop him, "King Runan is not going to court again, you have written a bunch of things, at most you can give him a few reprimands, it is better to make some stumbling blocks behind his back, so that he can have a long memory." ”

Xie Li paused, and suspicion flashed in his eyes, "When did you learn to play tricks?" ”

Shen Ji smiled gently, like a spring breeze, "Your mother taught me." ”

Xie Li pinched the fingertips of the pen and tightened, and secretly cursed the flower peacock.

Shen Ji smiled and looked at him faintly, "What's the matter, do you go or don't you go to Qi Guogong?" ”

"Destiny is hard to disobey, how can I be qualified to say no?" Xie Li glanced at him and said in a low voice, "I'll go to find Lian Yan later and discuss this matter with him." ”

Shen Ji bowed his head and said slowly, "The emperor wants to choose a good general, make a prestige, and deter the barbarians, I introduced your wife, go to the court tomorrow, and let her go with you." ”

Xie Li was stunned for a moment, and raised his eyes to look at Shen Ji who had a calm and breezy face on the opposite side.

As a pillow person, he naturally knew his wife's persistence for many years, but because of the identity of the son-in-law of the Song family, he couldn't take the initiative to mention this matter to the emperor.

Didn't think about it...... It was Shen Ji who helped bring it up.

Xie Li's heart warmed slightly, and he forcibly suppressed the corners of his mouth that wanted to rise, and responded calmly.

-

That night, two figures appeared at the base of the outer wall of the Guogong Mansion.

Xie Li stared at the person in front of him with a disgusted expression, and asked, "Why are you dressed like this?" ”

Lian Yan was dressed in night clothes, his hands and feet were tightly tied, and his face was covered with a scarf, revealing only a pair of smiling peach blossom eyes.

Lian Yan couldn't help frowning when he saw Xie Li wearing a robe as usual, "We're going to follow others, so naturally we have to be more hidden, your wide sleeves are ready to sing?" ”

The two secretly competed with each other, and neither of them was convinced.

Lian Yan rolled his eyes, threw him a scarf, and was angry, "At least block your face!" ”

Xie Li knew that he was at a loss, and reached out to take it, "I haven't done these ...... myself."

After Xie Li cleaned up, the two hid in the alley and looked at the Guogong Mansion with the gate closed from afar.

"Is your information accurate?" Xie Li looked at him sideways and lowered his voice.

He didn't even reply, and whispered comfortingly, "Don't worry, Qi Chong will definitely leave the house today." ”

The two waited for a long time, and after about half an hour, the gate of the Guogong Mansion opened a crack.

"Xie Li!" Lian Yan's eyes flashed with excitement, and he said in a low voice, "There's movement!" ”

Xie Li rubbed his sour eyes and raised his eyes to look into the distance.

The moonlight was hazy, and I could only see a tall man coming out of the Guogong Mansion and getting into the carriage that had been prepared long ago.

Seeing the carriage leaving, Lian Yan patted Xie Li on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "Follow up." ”

In the silence of the night, the sound of the wheels creaking and turning was especially abrupt on the long street, and the surrounding area was empty, and the carriage drove in the moonlight, adding to the horror.

Qi Chong leaned against the wall of the car and closed his eyes to take a nap.

"Guogong, something is not quite right."

The voice of his henchman came from outside, Qi Chong slowly opened his eyes, his eyes suddenly cold, "What's the matter?" ”

"Someone seems to be following us in the back." The henchman lifted the curtain and looked solemn, "In a hurry, my subordinates saw two figures." ”

Hearing this, Qi Chong drank his eyes again and said casually, "It's just two, send someone to clean them up." ”

"Yes." The henchman responded in a low voice, turned his head and took out a jade whistle from his chest, put it in his mouth, and blew it hard, and the whistle was actually a bird's soft cry.

Lian Yan, who was not far away, looked overcast, stretched out his hand to stop Xie Li, and said in a low voice, "We were discovered." ”

Xie Li was puzzled, "How do you know?" ”

"It's not a birdsong, it's a whistle." Lian Yan's face was rarely cold, "The Lian family used it when they cultivated the secret guard. ”

As he was talking, there was a sudden sound around him, as if someone was stepping on the bricks and walking quickly, and the sound was getting closer and closer.

Xie Li's heart sank, "What are the chances of winning against them?" ”

Lian Yan sneered, his eyes full of disdain, "You and I work together to kill indiscriminately." ”

Xie Li glared at him, looking uneasy, "I told you a long time ago, I don't know martial arts." ”

Lian Yan stood in front of him, pulled out the long sword at his waist, and said in a low voice, "I'm in charge of indiscriminate killing, you just have to gag in the back." ”

Xie Li looked at his back, speechless.

When the words landed, more than a dozen people suddenly flew out of the surroundings and surrounded them.

Under the moonlight, more than a dozen long swords glowed with cold light, and the people who watched were terrified.

Lian Yan's eyes sank slightly, and he looked at the group of people in front of him fixedly, and the hand holding the hilt of the sword turned white with force.

Xie Li also had a cold face, not daring to make a single movement.

The man at the head snorted coldly, pointed at his sword, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you!" ”

Lian Yan chuckled, his thin lips curled up contemptuously, "The one who took your dog's life." ”

"Look for death, on!"

Lian Yan's swordsmanship is tricky, although he has the upper hand at the beginning, but there is a huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and me, more than ten people continue to attack, and Lian Yan is attacked by the enemy on his back and gradually loses his advantage.

The man at the head saw the opportunity and stabbed him in the chest with his sword.

"Beware!" Seeing this, Xie Li subconsciously reached out and wanted to take the man's sword with his bare hands.

At the last moment, a cold arrow broke through the air and stabbed straight into the man's neck.
