It wasn't until she finished saying what she thought in her heart that Xie Wanzhou noticed her mother's eyes, and hurriedly lowered her head, "Mother......"

"Your idea is desirable." Fang Xu's eyes softened, and his voice was a little lighter, "Tomorrow, when Shen Ji comes back, I will inform him of your method." ”

Xie Wanzhou clenched her fingertips hard and whispered, "Yes." ”

"Evening boat." Fang Xu looked at her with a smile, and his tone was gentle, "You are a smart child, mother only hopes that you will be more confident in your actions in the future, you are no worse than anyone else." ”

Xie Wanzhou's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly raised her eyes, "Thank you mother for teaching, my daughter remembers." ”

Fang Xu sighed lightly, "Go and rest." ”

"Yes." Xie Wanzhou got up slowly, saluted her mother, turned around and stepped out of Chengyuan.

Fang Xu looked at her back, and he had a lot of thoughts for a while.

"Ma'am." Su Zi stood behind her with a look of relief, "Miss has really changed a lot, I can't see half of what she used to look like." ”

"Wanzhou is an excellent child, only a little less courageous." Fang Xu retracted his gaze and also rested his thoughts to look at the night scene, "It's not early, you can go and rest too." ”

Suzi nodded, "Yes." ”

-

The back door of the Guogong Mansion was half-open, and the two heads were crowded into the gap one by one, looking left and right.

After a while, three figures appeared at the mouth of the alley, tiptoeing towards this side.

Xuanwu's eyes were not good, he looked at the alley with half-squinted eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, are you the little masters?" ”

"You can't be wrong." Xuanwen patted him on the head and lowered his voice, "Get out of the way and make way for the masters." ”

"Huh." Xuanwu responded and hurriedly dodged.

The three of them walked to the door, and Xuanwen also took advantage of the night to see their appearance clearly, and immediately smiled, "I've seen the masters." ”

Song Huixin frowned slightly, glanced at the sky, and urged in a low voice, "It's not too early, act quickly." ”

Xuanwen didn't dare to delay, gently pushed open the door, and welcomed the three of them in, "Masters, please." ”

Song Huixin flashed into the Guogong Mansion, looked around vigilantly, and asked softly, "Are you all ready?" ”

Xuanwen knew that he was riddled with bad luck, and he had the foresight to pull Xuanwu away from his masters, "Don't worry, young lady, it is our brothers who are guarding the door tonight." ”

"That'll be fine." Song Huixin nodded in response, "You have been here for a few days, have you seen anything wrong with the Duke of Qi?" ”

Xuanwen hung his head slightly, thought about it carefully, and said in a low voice, "If it's wrong...... Qi Guogong had to stay in the study for a long time every day, and he didn't pass on the ......."

"Study?" Xie Li frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Lead the way." ”

"Yes."

Xuanwen closed the door, led the masters behind him, and slipped into the backyard like a thief.

After turning a few corners, I found the study.

"Masters, this is it." Xuanwen raised his hand and pointed to the other side, and whispered, "Over there is Qi Guogong's house." ”

Xie Li lowered his eyes, looked at the copper lock on the door, and said in a low voice, "I can't get in." ”

"Let me try." Lian Yan pushed aside everyone, stood alone in front of the door, lifted his sleeves, revealed the crossbow bolt tied to his forearm, took a thin needle from above, inserted it into the keyhole, and pounded it a few times by feeling.

"This lock is very delicate, and it is a little difficult to unravel, but it ......"

There was a crunch click.

"It's hard for me."

"I can't see it, you'll still unlock ......" Xie Li's eyes were full of surprise, and he swept him up and down.

"When I was a child, my father thought I was naughty and didn't allow me to go out, and if I cried, he would lock me in the house. Lian Yan raised his eyebrows and smiled heartily, "If Lian's family falls, I can still be a locksmith to support my family." ”

Song Huixin glanced at him and said softly, "Your father still beat him lightly." ”

Lian Yan opened his mouth, but he was not convinced but didn't have the courage to reply, so he could only stare at Xie Li secretly, blaming him for having no ability and not being able to control his wife.

"What are you looking at?" Song Huixin frowned, and his tone was not good, "Open the door!" ”

Lian Yan's body was shocked, and he muttered in a low voice, "I don't look like a woman...... It was as if the wild leopards in the mountains had become spirits. ”

Lian Yan threw the twisted silver needle into the grass casually, removed the lock, and pushed it with his hand, and the door of the study opened.

The furnishings of the study room are simple, there is only one bookcase, a low table is placed opposite, and a chessboard is placed on it, and the chess pieces are arranged in a staggered manner, which seems to be unintentional and seems to have ulterior motives.

There was a whole cabinet on the wall, and in the middle was a landscape painting, and the paper hung on the ground, which was about the same height as the cabinet.

"Just these two things?" Lian Yan pursed his mouth and looked around, "Look at this poor and sour appearance, he is still a grandfather of the country." ”

Song Huixin glanced at him and said softly, "Silence." ”

Lian Yan didn't overdo it, and his thin lips pursed into a straight line.

A few people scattered, carefully flipping through the few things they had, but they didn't find anything wrong.

"What's there to check on this little thing?" Lian Yan held the flower pot and whispered, "This house is cleaner than his face!" ”

"It's impossible to ......" Song Huixin looked surprised and said softly, "If there are no ghosts here, then why does he soak in the study every day?" ”

"It's just a bit of a look at these twists and turns, and they are all openly and secretly boasting about themselves." Lian Yan rolled his eyes and put the fold back in its place.

Only Xie Li didn't say a word, and looked fixedly at the chess game in front of him.

"What are you thinking?" Lian Yan was puzzled, raised his hand and poked his shoulder, "There is nothing we want here, while Qi Guogong has not come back yet, hurry up and take a look elsewhere." ”

Xie Li shook his head, his tone serious, "I vaguely feel ...... There must be something wrong here! ”

Lian Yan sighed and said helplessly, "Everything that can be searched has been searched, and no one has been left behind." ”

Song Huixin didn't find out why, and his heart was upset, "Let's go, go and take a look elsewhere." ”

Lian Yan stretched out his hand and dragged Xie Li over, and said in a low voice, "Hurry up and go." ”

The afterglow swept over the wall, and Xie Li stood still, looking at the landscape painting that was about to fall to the ground.

"Wait."

Lian Yan turned his head to look at him, puzzled, "What's wrong?" ”

Xie Li only felt a tightness in his throat, and an indescribable nervousness welled up in his heart, and he said in a low voice, "There is something wrong with that landscape painting." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on the painting.

The landscape painting sits right in the middle of the cabinet, dividing the bookcase on one wall in half.

"What's the problem?" Lian Yan still didn't understand, and said in a low voice, "No matter how ordinary the paintings, I have a lot of them." ”

Song Huixin was also confused, frowned slightly, his eyes fell on Xie Li, and said softly, "What do you think is wrong?" ”

Xie Li turned around stiffly, his gaze fell on the chessboard again, pursed his thin lips, and said in a deep voice, "Look at that painting...... Like the Chu River and Han Realm on this chessboard? (End of chapter)
