When night fell, Liu Xunyi, who left the City God Temple, did not go to the West Lake Langyuan, nor did he return to the Tianji Pavilion, but walked around the city of Lin'an like a walking corpse, recalling every word Qiu Han and Ding Chou said in his heart.

At this moment, Liu Xunyi really felt that the future was uncertain and unpredictable.

However, what made it more and more difficult for him to let go was that he was clearly aware of the undercurrent surging in Lin'an City, but he was blindfolded with an invisible hand, and he was exhausted of his energy, but he still couldn't guess where the crisis came from?

Maybe Liu Xunyi no longer believes in his colleagues around him, maybe he is subconsciously a little more wary of Qin Wei, maybe it is the tragic encounter between Qiu Han and Ding Chou that deeply touches him, maybe it is his heart ape and ghosts......

Unknowingly, Liu Xunyi came to Wangchuan Silk Village.

At this time, Pan Yun, who was well fed and drunk, was sorting out the recent accounts in the study, and after the careful training of Pan Wen and his wife, he has now become an authentic businessman.

By the faint yellow candlelight, Pan Yun was engrossed in the accounts, his left hand skillfully dialed on the abacus, making a crisp sound of "crackling", and his right hand held a pen to sketch on the account book, while calculating and remembering, he was still comfortable with two uses.

There was a basin of warm water under the table, and Pan Yun's feet were soaked in the water, which was very comfortable.

"Bang, bang!"

A sudden knock on the door interrupted Pan Yun's train of thought.

"You don't need to add water, let's go down!" Pan Yun thought it was a subordinate from the family, and his tone was quite impatient.

"Squeak!"

However, the people outside did not leave when they heard Pan Yun's answer, but pushed the door in.

"You ......"

Seeing that the subordinate didn't understand the rules so much, Pan Yun couldn't help frowning, and wanted to reprimand, but suddenly identified the person who came, and his voice stopped abruptly.

"Master Pan, don't come unharmed!"

"Willow ...... Brother Liu?"

Facing the sudden Liu Xunyi, Pan Yun subconsciously rubbed his eyes, got up suddenly, and because of the slippery feet, he was unstable for a while, and staggered and fell on the chair, looking surprised and flustered, looking very funny.

Since Yingchuan parted, Liu Xunyi and Pan Yun reunited for the first time today.

"Brother Liu, you ...... You ......" Because of the excitement in his heart, Pan Yun didn't know how to speak for a while.

"Disturb suddenly, I hope that Mr. Pan will forgive his sins. ”

"No, no, no!" Pan Yun waved his hand again and again, "Brother Liu is the benefactor of our family, how can I bother you." My little sister told us about Brother Liu, and when I learned that you returned to Lin'an, I have been worrying about you. ”

Seeing Pan Yun's sincere words, Liu Xunyi couldn't help but be moved.

"How is it?" Pan Yun looked Liu Xunyi up and down, and asked worriedly, "Brother Liu has been ...... recently. It is said that the imperial court was not peaceful during this time, and there were many gossips in the market. ”

"It's a long story, I'm fine, and I have Mr. Lao Pan to worry about. Liu Xunyi didn't want Pan Yun to be too involved with the imperial court, so he hurriedly got to the point, "I took the liberty to come tonight to ask Mr. Pan for help." ”

"Looking for my help?" Pan Yun was stunned for a moment, and then his face was embarrassed, "Brother Liu is a big man, I am just a grass people, I have no power, no courage and no strategy, how can I help you?"

"To tell you the truth, I'm just a superficial scenery now, but in fact, I'm ...... He has long been reduced to a lonely family. If I had to do so, I wouldn't have bothered tonight. ”

"I didn't mean that...... Pan Yun hurriedly defended, "I'm just worried that I'm stupid, not only will I not be able to help Brother Liu, but I will cause you trouble." ”

"This matter is easy for Pan Gongzi. Liu Xunyi explained, "Miss Pan is a weak woman, I really can't bear to trouble her, so I ......"

"I understand. Pan Yun showed a tacit smile towards Liu Xunyi, "If there is anything you command, I will definitely go all out." ”

"I want to invite Mr. Pan to the City God Temple...... Relief for two people. ”

"City God Temple?" Pan Yun frowned and thought, "But the City God Temple in the south of the city that has been abandoned for a long time?"

"Exactly!"

"This ......" Seeing Liu Xunyi's solemn matter, Pan Yun was even more puzzled, "As far as I know, the City God Temple is full of some homeless beggars, how can Brother Liu ......?"

"I was worried that I was too blind, so I asked Mr. Pan to save them for me. Liu Xunyi smiled bitterly, "As for the reason, it's best not to ask too much." The less you know about something, the less trouble you have. ”

"This ......"

"After you rescue them, send them to a house in the south of the city, and give them to a man named Li Haitang, who will say that they are my friends. ”

"It's a trivial matter!" Pan Yun knew that Liu Xunyi had always been measured, so he readily agreed, "I have met Li Haitang, and I also know that he is a friend of Brother Liu." ”

"That's very good!" Liu Xunyi said while calculating, "One of my friends is seriously injured, if Pan Gongzi has a reliable Langzhong who knows him, I will bother you......"

"I know how to do it!" Pan Yun seemed to sense Liu Xunyi's sadness, and hurriedly agreed, "Brother Liu, don't worry, your friend is my friend." When the time comes, I will send two more reliable subordinates to take care of me. ”

"Thank you Mr. Pan for your generosity!"

"It's a trivial matter, Brother Liu must not see outside!" Pan Yun said heartily, "Tomorrow morning, I will go to the City God Temple......"

"Tomorrow...... I'm afraid it's too late. Liu Xunyi hurriedly interrupted, his tone quite ashamed, "Their current situation is very dangerous, so they don't have to dream a lot ...... at night."

"I'll go to the City God Temple overnight!"

"It's so good, it's hard. ”

After the discussion, Liu Xunyi left Pan's house under the cover of Pan Yun and disappeared into the vast night like a ghost.

......

In the dead of night, a carriage galloped through the empty streets to the Privy Council.

"Who?"

"Deliver an order for the emperor, get out of the way quickly!"

Before the guards stepped forward to inquire, a man quickly emerged from the carriage, holding a golden token in his hand, and strode into the Privy Council.

"Where's the Privy Counsellor?"

"Oops! It turned out to be Gonggong Ding, what a rare guest!"

Speaking kung fu, Bai Jin led people to come forward, facing the high-spirited Ding Qinghong, he was humble and polite on the surface, but in fact he was disdainful in his heart.

Ding Qinghong was once used by the Xifu to play tricks, and he had a lot of grievances, so in the face of Bai Jin's warm greetings, he was expressionless and had a cold and arrogant attitude: "What kind of thing are you? Why didn't Lord Qian come to accept the order?"

"This official is old and frail, and his pace is slow, I hope my father-in-law will not be blamed!" With a burst of old laughter, Lord Qian came belatedly.

"The Privy Vice-Chancellor takes the order!"

Ding Qinghong gave an order, and Lord Qian, Bai Jin and other officials knelt on the ground one after another.

"There is a decree in the Holy Order, and the deputy envoy of the Xuan Privy Council will quickly enter the palace to meet him!"

"The old minister takes the order!"

With Bai Jin's support, Master Qian stood up tremblingly, looked at Ding Qinghong with a cold expression with puzzled eyes, and hesitated: "The emperor's third watch is in a hurry to find me in the middle of the night, I don't know what's going on?"

"I don't know!" Ding Qinghong especially hated Lord Qian who hid the knife in his smile, so his attitude became more and more unkind.

"That'...... Apart from me, who else has been urgently summoned to the palace by the emperor?"

In the face of Lord Qian's perseverance, although Ding Qinghong was not angry, because of his identity, he did not dare to offend Lord Qian too much, so he replied in a weird manner: "In addition to you, there are also Lord Rong and Master Jia, the 'acting prime minister'. ”

"Shhhh......h Something happened?"

"I don't know. Ding Qinghong shook his head slowly, "But the emperor seems to be displeased, Lord Qian should be careful to speak when he faces the saint, so as not to offend the dragon scales and suffer from the pond fish in vain." ”

"Thanks for the reminder!"

At this moment, Lord Qian no longer had the heart to understand Ding Qinghong's cynicism, hurriedly arranged the carriage and horses, and hurried to the palace.

......

More than halfway through the third watch, the Tianji Pavilion was dim and silent.

At this time, most of the people had fallen asleep, but Qin Wei's room was still lit with candles.

Qin Wei, who was dressed in bed clothes, leaned lazily on the side of the bed. Lan Qi, who has a slender waist and full of autumn water, is like a seductive and charming snake snuggling up to him. A pair of small and delicate white jade feet moved back and forth on Qin Wei's legs from time to time, and ten soft and boneless Qianqian jade fingers kept gently rubbing his shoulders, making his spirit happy and sleepy.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

"Come in!"

Before the knock on the door fell, Qin Wei's voice had quietly sounded. The door was divided left and right, and the troubled dragon slayer and tiger slayer walked into the room quickly.

As soon as she saw the two of them, Lan Qi's face suddenly flew into a flush, and she subconsciously wanted to shrink her legs into the quilt, but unexpectedly, Qin Wei suddenly made a move, grabbed her ankle at once, and let her twist and struggle, but she couldn't move, and could only be shy and shy under the "public".

For a while, Lan Qi was ashamed and annoyed, but helpless.

seemed to notice the strangeness of Qin Wei and Lan Qi, Slaying the Dragon and Slaying the Tiger subconsciously raised their eyes to look, seeing the tenderness and sweetness of the two, flirting and scolding, their faces changed, and they hurriedly retracted their gaze, even if they thought about it, they didn't dare to go beyond half a point.

"Has Chu Mao come back?"

In the face of Qin Wei's casual inquiry, Dragon Slayer looked furious and replied respectfully: "Not yet." ”

"Where's Lord Yanagi?"

"Didn't come back either. ”

"Strange thing!" Qin Wei frowned, leaned forward slightly, and a suspicious look appeared in his shining eyes, "Where are they?"

According to the people who returned, Lord Liu wanted to take a walk alone after leaving the cemetery, and Chu Mao was worried about his safety and repeatedly dissuaded him, but Lord Liu insisted on going his own way and did not listen to the advice. As a last resort, Chu Mao could only take three captains with him to protect him. It was nothing unusual...... Tu Hu recalled, "but they were still nowhere to be seen until late at night, which was a bit strange." ”

"In the past few days, has Lord Liu been keeping a watch in the middle hall?" Qin Wei pondered, "Has he ever seen outsiders?"

"No!" Slaying Long said firmly, "According to the secret order of the Hou Ye, Chu Mao will truthfully reply to Liu Xunyi's every move every day, until yesterday, there is nothing unusual. ”

"This ......"

"Report!"

When Qin Wei was full of thoughts and doubts, a low message suddenly came from outside the door.

"What?"

"Back to Lord Hou, Lord Liu is back. ”

......
