The two sides took their seats in the hall.

Ye Feng couldn't help but ask: "How could Grandpa Mu be in Beijing, and how could the righteous brother Zhang Idiot be with Grandpa Mu all the way?"

Mu Sheng smiled, and his voice was soft, like a spring breeze: "My father's entry into Beijing this time is to receive the edict of the Holy Lord, and I came to explain the situation of the people's livelihood and the resettlement of the army after the pacification of Jiaozhi for more than a year. On the way, the town happened to meet Zhang Shi's nephew taking care of the patient, so they took the patient to Beijing together. ”

He has a very close relationship with the British Duke Zhang Fu, and his age is similar, and his title is also equal, so he is also quite familiar with Zhang Fu, which is reasonable.

Mu Sheng changed the topic and asked, "I heard that Lord Ye is in prison now, I don't know how it is going?"

Ye Feng replied respectfully: "I have already visited my father in prison, and my father is fine." ”

Mu Sheng asked again: "I don't know why Ye Gongzi is in the fields on the outskirts of Beijing in the dark? Could it be related to Ling Zun's case?"

Ye Feng had always wanted to ask why Mu Sheng appeared there in time and arranged for Li Feihu to lead the team to relieve him, but Mu Sheng preemptively asked and diverted the topic, so he had to hide it at the moment, and told all about the secret conversation between Ye Zhiqiu from the edict to the Yang Mansion and Yang Wenchang, to the suspicion of Zhao Si's murder when he met Sheng Bo, and finally to what He Tie ruthlessly saw when he visited the ghost house at night.

Mu Sheng and Zhang Fatzi were thrilled when they said this, and their faces were solemn.

Although Mu Sheng is a lord of the imperial court and a general who has led troops in the army all the year round, he has heard a little about the affairs in the rivers and lakes, not to mention the world-famous overlord of the rivers and lakes like Da Lei Men.

Mu Sheng opened his mouth and asked, "In this way, Zhao Si's death should be related to the Great Thunder Gate?"

Ye Feng hesitated and replied: "Since Lei Potian appeared in the ghost mansion, I think this must be a stronghold of the Great Thunder Gate in the capital, so it can be speculated that maybe Zhao Si himself is also very likely to be a person from the Great Thunder Gate." Just ......"

Mu Sheng asked, "Just what?"

Ye Feng hesitated, obviously he also had a lot of questions that he hadn't figured out: "It's just that Zhao Si died so bizarrely, this ghost mansion will be found by the government sooner or later, and at this time, Lei Potian will come to the ghost mansion, and the nearby villagers who came to investigate will pretend to be ghosts and make people panic, isn't it too high-profile?"

Zhang Fatzi said, "Will he be looking for something there?"

Ye Feng shook his head: "It doesn't feel like it, since Zhao Si's death, the rumors that this house is haunted have been more than a month, and the house is not big, it is enough time to tear down the house and turn it upside down, how can he still stay here? I feel that he is more like someone waiting for here." ”

Zhang Fatzi was stunned: "Wait for someone?"

Ye Feng felt the thoughts rolling in his mind, and sighed: "I don't know, maybe it's us, maybe it's ......"

He suddenly remembered Tang Yu who blocked Ximen Rou from helping them leave, and hurriedly asked, "I don't know what happened to Tang Yu?"

Tie ruthlessly comforted him and said: "Don't worry, if you want to leave with his martial arts, just one Ximen Rou can't keep him." ”

Mu Sheng also said: "My father also sent a secret agent to check the grove just now, there is no blood and no corpse, I think Tang Gongzi must be safe." ”

Ye Feng was still worried, a Ximen Rou might not be able to keep Tang Yu, but there was also a thunder breaking heaven with unfathomable martial arts there!

As soon as he raised his head, he looked at Mu Sheng with a kind face, and he was secretly vigilant in his heart. He even sent a spy to the grove to check it out, so he must have been very aware of what was happening. It seems that this Grandpa Mu really came prepared, perhaps, those secret eyes in Tie Ruthless's mouth were sent by his Grandpa Mu.

Ye Feng remembered the black shadow in the grove who used a flying knife to sneak attack him, if Mu Sheng had sent a secret agent to monitor the situation in the summer forest, then maybe he had also seen that black shadow.

He was about to ask, but he hesitated. Although the black shadow could not be seen in the dark, the movement and the figure were clearly like the figure in his heart, and every day he would silently recite the name that haunted his soul countless times, it was too familiar.

But how could it be? How could she kill herself? Every time I saw her before, it was when she was in danger, she was saving herself, why did she want to kill herself this time?

No, it won't be her. Ye Feng said to himself categorically, in fact, if it was really her who wanted her life, he would give it with both hands without hesitation, why bother?

Ye Feng was thinking wildly, and suddenly there was a "gurgling" sound around him.

Everyone turned their heads to look, and Zhang Fatzi stood there with embarrassment on his face: "I have been on the road to the capital since the afternoon, and I haven't eaten anything, and my stomach is protesting at this time." ”

Saying this, Ye Feng suddenly remembered that he only cared about talking in the Drunken Immortal Building, and only drank a bowl of tea, but until now, he had not eaten the particles, and he also felt hungry in his stomach.

Mu Sheng laughed: "Yes, yes, it's my father's negligence, I'll arrange someone to prepare." ”

Although Mu Sheng is not in the capital all the year round, and it is late at night, but the Guogong Mansion is the Guogong Mansion after all, and after a while, the kitchen will rectify the table full of wine and food, everyone is hungry, and they will start eating when they sit together, especially Zhang Fatzi is even more immersed in a painful meal, and the soup is dripping.

Mu Sheng and Zhang Zhi have always known each other, and they know his character, so they don't care about it, but they often ruthlessly persuade Ye Feng and Tie to drink and drink.

After three rounds of drinking, Mu Sheng suddenly said: "The banquet must not be without pleasure, speaking of which, there is a singer in this mansion, who is very good at music and rhythm, and it can be fun." ”

He turned around and instructed the servants who were waiting: "Go and invite the butterfly girl to come." ”

Ye Feng's heart moved, it was not uncommon to raise courtesans and dancers in the mansions of rich and nobles, but this kind of people were all low-status and low-status people, but just now Mu Sheng called her "butterfly dancing girl" between his words, and used the word "please", it seems that this woman's identity must not be comparable to ordinary courtesans.

Tie Ruthless also smiled slightly: "Butterfly Dance, what a beautiful name." ”

Mu Sheng said with a smile: "This butterfly dance girl was originally from the Jiangnan Wang family, but after her family was ruined, she was sold into the Qinglou by her stepmother and drifted to Yunnan. But she is extremely proficient in music, especially playing the flute well, which is really a must in the world. Bengong happened to meet her in the Qinglou and was bullied by some small people, so he bought her and invited her to live in the house, but he never treated her as a courtesan. ”

He sighed and said, "This butterfly dance girl's background is really pitiful." ”

Tie smiled ruthlessly: "I didn't expect that Grandpa Mu is also a romantic person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade." ”

While talking and laughing, I suddenly heard a crisp ringing bell at the door, and a woman with a graceful figure walked in.

I saw her wearing a cool summer shirt, revealing her white and tender arms like white lotus, and holding a green bamboo flute in her hand. She has willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, a small cherry mouth, and a little powder, but it is not too charming, but it looks like a dusty and delicate, which makes people feel amazing when they see it. Even Zhang Fatzi, who had been bowing his head and eating non-stop, stopped the bamboo in his hand, couldn't help but raise his head, and looked at the woman intently.

I saw her bow to Mu Sheng Yingying: "The little woman butterfly danced, I have seen Grandpa Mu." ”

Mu Sheng smiled slightly: "Now that there are distinguished guests in the house, I also bother to ask the butterfly girl to play a song to help Yaxing." ”

Butterfly Dance said: "Obey the order. He stood up, thought for a moment, held the green flute in his hand, and slowly began to play.

She played the "Wind into the Song" made by Ji Kang, the head of the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest" during the Three Kingdoms period, this piece was originally a piano song, which was obviously deliberately adapted and played on the flute, and the sound of the flute was low and melodious, which further highlighted the artistic conception of this song.

This butterfly dancing girl is indeed extraordinary, in the melodious music closed her eyes, everyone in the audience seemed to see the clear night sky under the bright moon, the boundless pine forest under the breeze, the waves, the ups and downs, magnificent.

At the end of the song, everyone was still immersed in the artistic conception of the song, and suddenly heard the sound of "pop", it turned out to be Zhang Fatzi who took the case and applauded.

Then Zhang Fatzi ran straight to the butterfly dance girl, and asked long and short questions, from the source of the music to the subtlety of the adaptation, nagging and chattering. The butterfly girl smiled a little shyly and politely listened to Zhang Fatzi's chatter.

Ye Feng felt quite embarrassed if there was no one next to Fat Zhang, after all, the identity of the butterfly girl here was different from that of ordinary courtesans, not to mention in front of Grandpa Mu. He hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the fat man, but the fat man didn't realize it, and it seemed that there was only the butterfly girl left in his eyes now.

Mu Sheng and the British Gong Zhang Fu have a deep friendship, and they have long known that this little fat man of the Zhang family has always acted like this, so he didn't care, just smiled and waved his hand to let Butterfly Dance retreat.

Butterfly Dance gave a salute and slowly retreated, leaving only the fat man standing in the hall with a disappointed and reluctant face, looking at the back of the Butterfly Dancer girl.

At this moment, a servant walked in and bowed down to report: "Grandpa Qiqi, someone asks to see you." ”

Mu Sheng looked at the dark night outside: "It's late at night, who is in such a hurry to visit?"

The servant was a little hesitant: "That person, that person is not here to ask to see Grandpa." ”

Everyone was stunned: "Then who does he want to see?"

The servant said: "It's Ye Fengye Gongzi." ”

Everyone turned their attention to Ye Feng, Ye Feng was also inexplicable, who would know that he was in the Muguo Mansion with such magical powers, and he came to see him late at night?

Filled with curiosity, he walked out of the hall to meet the mysterious visitor.

As soon as he stepped out of the doorway of the hall, he saw a familiar person standing in the courtyard, a person with a warm smile on his face.

Tang Da!

It turned out to be Tang Da, who I hadn't seen for more than a year!
